We reach the second floor and saw Li Cheng and Eunuch Fon discussing something while Gou Shi is preparing his medicine.
"We need to talk" I said as soon as I enter the room
"Jun Meng why did you bring her here?"- Li Cheng with a little annoyance in his voice
Probably cause their secret room is not so secret anymore or something like that .,
"Oh, pipe it and let's discuss our departure" -Kim Li
"What? It's Too soon?"- Li Cheng
He said that made my blood boil a little
"Your majesty if your already having problem with hearing do please let the Royal physician check your ears as soon as possible" I said sitting comfortably at one of the cushions here
"Why you...."-Li Cheng raged but I cut him off, cause the matter present is not as light as slapping someone in the face
" In case his majesty didn't hear the report earlier, our soldiers are in danger at the border with an unknown disease" I said a little bit irked
"We also got reports that the Marquis secluded the ones with symptoms in a certain area" Gou Shi informed me
"Then it's good to hear...it will help control the spread through out the rest of the soldiers" I said thinking of a possible cause of the disease
"Aside from the disease, I'm curious as of how official Sho knew about your trip to the border" -Feng Yun
"There are annoying mice and snakes around you Li Cheng., but you won't let me clean the place sparkly, so don't blame me for that" I said taking a sip of tea that Gou Shi brought
"Sister-in-law are you really sure that you'll let me handle the court when you guys are away" -Jun Meng
"Yeah, I'm confident enough to let you handle things here. And in case you want to take your brother's role as the emperor, I'll properly guide you through it" I said pissing Li Cheng even more
"Kim Li!"- Li Cheng roared while the rest is trying to keep their laughter at bay
As their esteemed emperor is acting almost like a wronged child.
"Uh, I wouldn't want that"- Jun Meng
"Sure, but you have to do this while Li Cheng and I are away., here let me give you a rough instructions regarding how to take notes and report to me in clear detail letter" I said dragging him to sit beside me, ignoring Li Cheng's annoying glare
"You could practice with this your highness" Eunuch Fon give a blank book with today's trivial issues
"Thanks."
"Now, you just need to look at the key point of their complaints like this one, they have a problem at the education order I gave previously., then list out as of why are they discontented at the order., of course it is dumb to ask them directly cause they'll just say what it's needed that's pleasing to your ears., so you have to work your head with this one and think of all the possible reasons of what those problematic officials think of reasons to oppose the order" I said as I swiftly write my insights from earlier
Li Cheng and the rest of the people here are intently listening while I teach Jun Meng
"You should also consider thinking petty cause your officials are manipulative bastards, so you need to be sure to write it down... next jolt down the possible scenarios before assigning your chess pieces in place ., and please do assign them at where they're capable and personality compatible role., put the right people at the right job for high success rate" - Kim Li
"Next compute the funds to be used., and be extremely strict in this part, asked someone to inspect the needed cash and investigate on it throughly
Then the materials at the reservoir project should be throughly surveyed, when you already have a list of shops, personally inspect them cause sometimes the cheap one are more durable than the fake expensive ones, Feng Yun already knew most of the shops that I trusted. So you shouldn't be having a hard time with that" - Kim Li
" Oh, and you better be attentive during court meetings., you should pay attention of your officials unnoticeable hobbits and gestures, their facial expressions and their quick glimpse of contempt., their the ones who usually find excuses to dis agree with your decision, be sure to be blunt and show them that the feeling is mutual., your the one at the higher position, so you shouldn't be afraid to give them a roar to shut them up."- Kim Li
"You know your teachings are a little bit over the top"- Gou Shi
"Doesn't matter, as long as it's effective"- Kim Li
" Though Your Highness, Do you really have that much faith to the prince?"- Feng Yun
"To be honest with you guys, I think Jun Meng is way better than Li Cheng over here"- Kim Li said massaging her temples
"What do you mean by that?!" Li Cheng
"Sister-in-law please stop teasing"- Jun Meng blushed at the compliment
"First of all Jun Meng is rational, he knew when to withdraw an act or order, for higher success rate and he knew how to judge people, Second. Li Cheng already know the problem but his reluctant to take it out from the roots cause of personal attachment, Third. With Jun Meng's identity as Prince Idle, people will underestimate his capabilities. The nobles might worry but the citizens will surely be at ease as this Prince is really friendly outside the palace walls."- Kim Li
" And how do you know of the greatness of my brother?"-Li Cheng intensely glared
"Based on how you both played your chess pieces back then, Jun Meng tend to look at what he can do for the greater good specially the safety of his pawns, while on the other hand you rushed forward with your knights" I said nonchalantly pissing him further
But he didn't retaliate cause he knew that I'm right. And it was his mistake plus he is somewhat hesitant to say something bad to his brother's face.,
"Now that I think about it, I still got some work to do at the building department. Jun Meng find me at the Li Cheng's study later after dinner, Gou Shi give me a copy of the medical reports from the border, Feng Yun do please assist me till I'm done with my schedule today" I said as I drag my feet towards the stairs.,
'Ugh, I really need a twenty-four hours sleep after this' I thought as my head is throbbing badly.,
