Chapter 4493: 5.0245 Is His Majesty Reliable?

"I plan to go there and, by the way, bring along the young talents and elite families of our Fengdi City," Duan Yue subtly influenced the ministers before him. "Ministers, if any young talents from your families wish to join, you can sign up quickly."

Several old ministers immediately looked up, asking in confusion, "Wangchuan Secret Realm? Is it really that rare?"

"Rare, very rare! I received news that the secret realm is filled with all sorts of divine artifacts and magic treasures. You can pick up any one of them, and it'll serve as a guardian deity for your home." Heh heh, just kidding, these have surely been claimed by his Qiao. Secret realm, what secret realm? That's his Qiao's! You believe it's a secret realm, no wonder you can only be my subjects. In terms of intelligence, heh, none of you can compare to my resourceful self!

Several old ministers' eyes lit up. "Your Majesty, if it's truly that rare, then it would indeed be worth a trip."

After all, everyone knew the character of those two from Divine State and Underworld State; they weren't good people... Young Master Rong, being gentle and humble, might even be ganged up on by the two of them. It would be different if His Majesty went; His Majesty...

His Majesty isn't a good person either...

He would definitely be able to extract some resources from those two. In these difficult times, resources are hard to come by! Since such a rare secret realm has been discovered, it's only natural that they, the people of Cangzhou, shouldn't return empty-handed!

Everyone looked at each other.

"Alright, alright, stop wasting words," Prince Qing immediately decided. "You all hurry home, find a few young talents, and accompany His Majesty to Wangchuan."

"Can't you still trust His Majesty's character? His Majesty said he'd be back within ten days, so naturally, he will return within ten days."

Everyone exchanged glances.

Prime Minister Wu couldn't help but twitch his mouth slightly. Why does it feel so untrustworthy?

A group of old ministers grumbled a few more words, then slowly followed Prime Minister Wu out.

Duan Yue suddenly felt tired. He sat down and took a sip of cold tea, then immediately jumped up. "Go, tell them to submit the list tonight; we depart tomorrow!" He didn't want to wait another moment.

"Prime Minister, do you think His Majesty is reliable?" An old minister, who was on good terms with the Prime Minister, couldn't help but quietly ask this question.

Prime Minister Wu's mouth twitched slightly. He actually felt that His Majesty wasn't very reliable, but... if he truly became reliable, he was indeed beyond what ordinary people could compare to. To reassure his colleague, Prime Minister Wu nodded repeatedly against his conscience, "Reliable, extremely reliable!"

Just then, a close guard hurried out, stood on the steps, and loudly announced His Majesty's recent words.

Upon hearing this, everyone was speechless. Just three minutes ago in the Imperial Study, His Majesty had looked at them and gently said, "Esteemed Ministers, I plan to depart for Wangchuan in a few days." Now, in the blink of an eye, "a few days" had turned into "tomorrow"!

Does it have to change so fast? You are the Great Emperor of Cangzhou, does it really look good to change decrees day and night?

Seeing his old colleague's questioning gaze, Minister Wu Yong was immediately speechless...

"Minister Wu, do you think His Majesty might be..." That minister secretly looked around, then leaned closer to Wu Yong and whispered conspiratorially, "leading us on?"

Wu Yong really wanted to tell his colleague: Very likely, old friend.

But for His Majesty's sake, Prime Minister Wu still shook his head firmly. "No!"
