My country is dying

Chapter 70
Mi Le took off the hood on his head and walked slowly to his desk: "It doesn't matter if you are courageous or stupid, all I know is that if I don't make this trip, I won't be able to keep Xiao Qi."

"The emperor wants to save Xiao Qi's life so much? What is there in him that the emperor should spare his life to protect?"

"Because he is my man!" Mi Le said firmly, "If it wasn't for me, the Xiao family could stay away from the court, and he could live his life without any worries. It was me who dragged him into this muddy water. Since I If you want him, you must be responsible for him!"

"What a responsible person." Hou Junli lowered his eyes and smiled lightly, "So, the emperor wants to use humble ministers to keep your loyal ministers? Why do you think that humble ministers will agree?"

Mi Le met his deep eyes, and the man's eyes were dark and unfathomable.

"Just rely on the late emperor's edict!"

"Heh..." This time, Hou Junli laughed directly, stretched out his hand to support his forehead and looked at her, "Your Majesty is so naive, just now you witnessed with your own eyes that my minister even killed the king, the late emperor's edict , how can I pay attention to it?"

"You really don't take it seriously." Mi Le stared straight at him, "But back then you accepted the late emperor's edict in front of the civil and military officials of the Manchu dynasty, and the reason why you suppressed the queen mother was only because of that edict For you, the will can be described as love and hate. What you love is that you can rely on this will to override anyone, including the queen mother and me. The hateful thing is that this will prevent you from risking the world's disgrace , ascend the throne and become emperor!"

"The analysis is good, continue." Hou Junli still smiled, and even raised his brows lightly, as if the object of Mi Le's analysis was not him.

"Of course, these are actually not the main points. With your reputation of murdering brothers and fathers, Hou Junli, risking the disgrace of the world is nothing to you. The reason why you are willing to stay in the position of regent Abolishing Zhen is only because of the current national conditions of Jinyan Kingdom."

"Oh?" Hou Junli showed full curiosity, "Then the emperor just talked about it."

While speaking, he had stood up, poured a cup of tea from the tea on the side table, leaned on the desk, shaking the teacup while looking at Mi Le with deep eyes.

But even with such a relaxed posture, Mi Le still felt a sense of oppression.

She looked at the tea beside her and licked her lips: "Won't you pour me a cup?"

Hou Junli tilted his head and raised his eyebrows, and directly handed over the cup in his hand: "Yes?"

Without further ado, Mi Le drank the cup of tea, and then said: "Speaking of which, I have to thank the regent for forcing me to copy the treasury entry and exit account books. It is also from the account books that I know that the Jinyan Kingdom seems to be powerful Wealthy, but in fact the treasury is empty. The first emperor was aggressive. Over the years, the treasury has already been exhausted. Although the regent has tried his best to save the Jinyan country in the past three years, it has only just stabilized. , when the time comes, even if the Regent is firmly established, he will ruin the country sooner or later!"

"Weighing the pros and cons, this is the reason why the Prince Regent is not standing still like a mountain!"

"14 years old?" Hou Junli suddenly looked at Mi Le, his eyes calmly scanning her face, "It doesn't look like that."

Mi Le was taken aback. He didn't expect him to change the subject so quickly. He paused for a moment before asking, "Could the regent doubt my age?"

Hou Junli shook his head: "Your Majesty grew up under the watchful eye of the minister, so I naturally wouldn't doubt it, but..."
