Chapter 456
"Troublesome things...that's quite a lot." Long Yu behind the desk finished speaking and glanced at Bu Fan, seeing that Bu Fan was still "asking for instructions", he snorted and continued, "Just like Talking about... the sudden death of the second concubine, and those prisoners of war on the southwest border."

Long Yu gave Bu Fan two choices, obviously wanting him to choose one of the two.But things that even His Majesty the Emperor found difficult, could only be more difficult for Bu Fan.But if he really had to choose one of the two, Bu Fan still decided to choose the prisoners of war who went to the southwest border.

The incident of the second prince's sudden death was too deep, not only involved in the struggle between the second prince and the third prince for the heir apparent, but if it was not handled properly, there would even be suspicion of choosing a team.Long Yuan's warning to Bu Fan before, Bu Fan now understands Long Yuan's kindness.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty is willing to go to the southwest border to share His Majesty's worries."

Bu Fan figured out the stakes, and Dang even was willing to go to the southwest border.Long Yu said "oh", looked at Bu Fan with both eyes and said, "Why didn't you choose the sudden death of the second princess? You know, this incident makes me even more headache."

What does His Majesty mean?

Tempting... Are you testing me?
Bu Fan's brain was spinning rapidly, and he was a little uncertain about Long Yu's attitude for a while.However, he remembered Long Yuan's warning, as long as Bu Fan could not help each other, then he would naturally not have any risks.

"Your Majesty, border troubles are a major national matter. As for the two princes... that is your family matter."

Bu Fan immediately raised the level of the problem. The state affairs must take precedence over the emperor's family affairs, so Bu Fan's previous choice is completely fine.Long Yu didn't seem surprised by Bu Fan's choice. He just smiled and said, "Family matters... that's right. But speaking of the second and third children, I have a question for you."

"Who do you think will be a good emperor between the two of them in the future?"

Sure enough, Long Yu still put forward the proposition, but Bu Fan couldn't choose to refuse to answer.Because of the conversation with Long Yuan before, Bu Fan knew that there was a third answer to this question of choosing between two. "Please forgive me, Your Majesty. I think both princes are possible, but neither of them is possible."

Bu Fan's answer seemed to have both ends, but it actually mentioned the third possibility.If the second prince or the third prince becomes the final winner of the succession, they may be a good emperor.But if the winner was someone else, they would have no chance.

"So you are more optimistic about Long An?"

When Long Yu said this, he was full of smiles, and the servant next to him was silent when he saw it.Bu Fan reacted instantly, shook his head and said, "According to my humble opinion, I think the First Prince is the best candidate."

No matter what the fourth prince said, he was also Bu Fan's cousin-in-law, so he had no choice but to pass the blame on to the eldest prince.Bu Fan only pretended that he had never met the eldest prince, and he didn't even know that he was the Long Shou of this generation.Anyway, in the current situation, pretending to be stupid is the best choice.

Sure enough, after Bu Fan mentioned the eldest prince, Long Yu fell into a brief silence.In fact, for Long Yu, why didn't he know that Long Yuan was the best candidate.But even if Long Shou is not the royal family, this is the rule set by the ancestors, and he can't do anything about it.

"It seems that you plan to not help each other?"

Long Yu seemed to have seen through Bu Fan's thoughts, but Bu Fan could never nod his head and admit it. He thought about it and said, "That's not the case. Whoever His Majesty asks me to help, I will naturally help."

At that moment just now, Bu Fan suddenly figured it out in his heart.Long Yuan's real admonition to Bu Fan was not to ask him not to help each other, but to imply that he would show his loyalty to Long Yu.After all, no matter at any time, His Majesty the current emperor does not want to lose power.

Sure enough, after Bu Fan made his attitude clear, Long Yu at the desk showed a smile for the first time.He put down the official document he was reviewing, then picked up a report and handed it over.The servant on the side quickly took it, and then sent the report to Bu Fan.

The report that Long Yu gave Bu Fan to read was recently submitted by the southwest border, and the person who submitted the report was Bu Fan's sister Bu Tingni.Bu Tingni stated in his report that the tens of thousands of prisoners of war surrendered by the Maurya Dynasty have now become a scourge comparable to ghosts.

"Your Majesty, can you directly..."

As Bu Fan said, he put his hand across his neck, Long Yu frowned and said nothing, and Bu Fan knew that this move might not work.But if they were allowed to continue to consume materials on the southwestern border like this, even the Longhua Empire's own troops on the southwestern border would lose their combat effectiveness.

"Can you send them back?"

"No, those prisoners of war said that once they return to the country, they will definitely be dealt with by military law."

"Then... recruit them for your own use?"

"No, those prisoners of war also said that once they accept the surrender, their family members in the country will be implicated."

"Go and don't go, surrender and don't surrender, these prisoners of war are really hateful." Bu Fan was rejected by Long Yu for two proposals in a row, and suddenly felt an inexplicable sense of frustration.After thinking for a while, Bu Fan said, "I still don't believe that these prisoners of war have become spirits. Since we can't do it, let Ghost do this for us."

Although the invading foreign enemies were eliminated on the southwest border, the ghosts still could not be completely eradicated.The southwestern province already consumes a lot of supplies, and now it has to support tens of thousands of imperial army mages who are idle.

"Your Majesty, I implore you to allow one person to go with you. With this person, I promise that this matter will be settled as soon as possible."

It is impossible for Bu Fan to really force tens of thousands of imperial mages to die, so Wu Ping must be taken to solve this trouble.After hearing Bu Fan's assurance, Long Yu suddenly came and asked with interest: "Oh, who has such a great ability? Tell me, I want to know him too."

"Your Majesty, the person you are talking about is Liu Ping from the Liu family."

Bu Fan immediately reported Wu Ping's name. Long Yu was a little surprised at first, then nodded suddenly, and said, "Okay, let you two young people go to exercise. Sergeant, send an order to Liu Family……"

Long Yu nodded to call the servant, and after explaining it for a while, he asked the servant to bring Wu Ping here.The servant immediately took the order and left, seeing that only himself and Long Yu were left, Bu Fan immediately felt uneasy.

"By the way, Bu Fan, speaking of which, I still have something to ask you." Long Yu tapped his fingers on the book case, and suddenly asked Bu Fan: "How did you find out that there is something wrong with the guys in Liuxian Tea House? "

Bu Fan trembled all over for an instant, there was indeed a problem with Liuxian Tea House, and there was still a big problem.Bu Fan had long suspected that it was a hidden pile, but he didn't expect it to be related to Long Yu.Bu Fan suddenly remembered that Han Yao had said that there was also a secret army in the Dragon Guard, which was responsible for intelligence collection.
