Chapter 224: Public Support First, Military Power Second
Shi'an helped Mu Ruixi get rid of the poison on her body, but there was a stone on her body that could communicate with her.
Since she has made up her mind to help Lin Muwen fight for the throne, Mu Ruixi naturally has to consider the people.
People’s support comes first, military power comes second.
People's hearts are not so easy to buy. Lin Muwen has always been unpopular in front of Emperor Gu Tianyu, and his reputation in the court is not good either.
With the instigation of some people, the Eighth Prince became a bloodthirsty demon, a bloodthirsty devil.
Mu Ruixi thought about it for a whole day but couldn't come up with a good idea, so she decided to ask Shi'an.
Shi'an and she both came from the modern era. Although she didn't know in which year Shi'an came into this world, nor did she know why he appeared in this world and stayed there for seventy or eighty years.
Shi'an naturally wouldn't say it out loud. When she thought of Shi'an's hateful look, she had an urge to draw her sword and fight him.
"Shi'an, Shi'an, are you there?" Mu Ruixi took the communication stone and yelled at the stone.
Not long after, a light appeared on the stone, and a lazy voice came from the stone, "Xixi, what's wrong?"
When Mu Ruixi heard this familiar voice, her whole body trembled. This was clearly the voice of the dead Zerg she had just heard. These two words simply meant a sex-hungry ghost!
Mu Ruixi was startled, thinking that the dead bug was causing trouble in her body.
Seeing that Mu Ruixi didn't say anything for a long time, Shi'an probably realized that he had scared Mu Ruixi, so he laughed out loud.
"Haha, little girl, do you miss my voice?"
"Get out!" Mu Ruixi came back to her senses and shouted angrily at the communication stone.
"Okay, then I won't tease you anymore. What exactly do you want me to do?" Shi'an's cunning face came again.
Mu Ruixi took several deep breaths and kept telling herself in her heart, don’t be angry, don’t be angry, don’t be angry.
Mu Ruixi took a deep breath and looked at Shi'an, "I want to ask you, what is the best way?"
Shi An was slightly startled, then reacted and smiled, "Are you going to help Lin Muwen fight for the throne? It seems that this late emperor doesn't have many years left to be popular."
Seeing Shi'an chattering away, Mu Ruixi quickly interrupted, "Yes, I do want to help Lin Muwen fight for the throne. Now Gu Yiming has already regarded Lin Muwen and me as thorns in his side."
Mu Ruixi sighed and continued, "That's right, Gu Tianyu is dying. When Gu Yiming ascends the throne, I won't have an easy time either. I must support him! Let me ask you again, do you want to help?"
"Of course! Shi'an agreed without even thinking about it.
Mu Ruixi asked Shi'an so directly because she and Shi'an both came from another world, so she subconsciously thought that Shi'an would not harm her.
Of course, Mu Ruixi did not completely trust Shi'an because she did not know him very well.
Although it is not clear what Shi'an wants to do, this does not affect their cooperation. Mu Ruixi believes that Shi'an has no desire for the throne and there will be no conflicts between the two.
That's why Mu Ruixi asked Shi'an for help without hesitation.
"Well, I have an idea for you. The southern part of the Great Qin's western border has been plagued by drought for years, and the harvest has been poor. If you can take out all the grain, you will probably gain some fame."
Mu Ruixi's eyes lit up when she heard this. Shi'an was right. What Shi'an said was true.
Now that the southern part of the Western Regions has suffered a great disaster, many refugees have gone to the south of the Yangtze River to make a living. If a granary is opened in the name of Lin Muwen, I am afraid that Lin Muwen's name will spread throughout the world immediately.
Mu Ruixi was anxious. "Shi'an, can't you make a suggestion to the emperor? Why don't you go to the emperor?"
Shi'an on the opposite side couldn't help but roll his eyes at him when he heard what Mu Ruixi said, but Mu Ruixi naturally couldn't see it.
"Having said that, Lin Mu still has to report this to the court after hearing about it. Otherwise, I will not let Lin Mu hear about it."
Mu Ruixi nodded. Indeed, Lin Muwen must bring it up at the court meeting. That way, he would have a better grasp of the matter and could also give the old man Gu Tianyu a reasonable excuse.
Otherwise, her glory would be wasted, and it would even benefit Gu Yiming.
Mu Ruixi said a few words to Shi'antong, then stood up and walked towards Lin Muwen.
After smelling the tea, Lin Mu's face became extremely ugly. He could see that the elderly emperor Gu Tianyu was not young anymore, and the most powerful person was obviously Gu Yiming.
Moreover, Gu Yiming's mother, the queen, could easily gain the emperor's favor.
As a result, most of the ministers in the court stood on Gu Yiming's side.
However, Lin Muwen's disappointment turned out to be a rare opportunity for him. What His Majesty the Emperor hated most was forming cliques.
Although he liked Gu Yiming, he also didn't like this behavior, which gave Lin Muwen an opportunity to take advantage of it.
In the evening, Mu Ruixi told Lin Muwen about what she had discussed with Shi'an.
Lin Muwen's eyes flashed. He had thought about opening the granary, but once he said this, he was afraid that someone would immediately stand on Gu Yiming's side.
That's why Gu Yiming said that, that's why he wouldn't say that, but with Shi'an as someone who can talk to the emperor, he can rest assured.
If Shi'an had informed the late emperor Gu Tianyu in advance, then Lin Muwen would most likely become the next emperor.
After all, Lord Shi'an is Shi'an, and he holds a very high status in the eyes of His Majesty the Emperor. If Lord Shi'an comes forward, he will have a 70% chance of success.
Thinking of Mu Ruixi's help to him, Lin Muwen kissed Mu Ruixi on her rosy lips.
The third day of court meeting.
Emperor Gu Tianyu sat upright on the throne. Although he was very old, there was still a hint of majesty in his eyes.
The ministers below all lowered their heads and dared not look him in the eye, partly because of the rules and partly because of the emperor's authority.
Eunuch Hai stepped forward and shouted, "I have something important to do. If there's nothing important, go ahead."
"I have a memorial!"
Gu Yiming walked out of the team holding a jade pendant.
Lin Muwen had something important to discuss, and the Emperor was slightly startled. Lin Muwen had always been very low-key in the court and seldom spoke, but no one expected that he would actually say a few words this time.
The emperor became interested and said, "Go ahead."
"As ordered!"
"Now, I have traveled from the east to the west, from the south to the south, and from the north to Beichuan. The country is beautiful and prosperous. However, in the past three years, natural disasters have occurred one after another in the south, making it impossible for people to grow food. Instead, they have to pay taxes every year.
