With the cannon fodder script in hand, it is easy for the king to change his fate

Chapter 1036 The Heir Takes the Empire as Dowry 48
Today, Azhen received a secret report from the local authorities.

Officials in a certain area not only embezzled public funds and broke the law, but also illegally seized a mine and acted like local tyrants.

According to the secret report, the local officials had connections with high-ranking officials in the imperial court, and the influence was widespread.

Without a second thought, Azhen arranged for someone to summon Xie Nuo.

Seeing Xie Nuo's clear eyes, Azhen smiled and showed her the secret report: "Nuo'er, are you confident in handling this matter?"

She was quite at ease. She wasn't worried that Xie Nuo would make too many contributions, resulting in too many achievements.

Even given Xie Nuo's personality, watching her live without any chance of rising to power would only cause him a slight sense of loss. Xie Nuo has some ambition, but he is by no means an overly ambitious person; he simply has a different perspective due to his understanding of another world.

If Xie Nuo were to defy her, the other party would probably instinctively shake her head.

Compared to what she, the founding emperor, has accomplished over the years, what are Xie Nuo's achievements? No one who isn't a fool would suggest that she abdicate and that Xie Nuo take the throne.

However, if Xie Nuo can wait and is willing to be subordinate to others, can the men around her be willing to be?
When they realize that she can live a long time and that if she doesn't die, Xenius will never be able to take over, they will be unable to restrain themselves and will all take action.

She was quite curious about what they would do, and even a little expectant.

For them to get things done, they need to make promises in order to be legitimate.

Will they use emotional manipulation or scheming to sow discord? Will Xie Nuo fall for it? Will she turn against her for the sake of these men?
What the future holds depends on how Xenno chooses to proceed.

But no matter what, as long as she holds sway over Zhao Kingdom, the men around Xie Nuo won't be content and will eventually reveal their true colors. If Xie Nuo joins them in their corrupt ways, her fate will certainly be bad; if she doesn't join them, things won't be too easy for her either.

Based on what she knew, those men would never be so kind as to let Xie Nuo live comfortably.

"Since Aunt has entrusted me with this important task, I will certainly do my utmost." After reading the secret report, Xie Nuo accepted the task without hesitation.

The fact that her aunt only summoned her to the palace for such matters proves that she trusts her and values ​​her abilities.

She knew that if this couldn't be done, even if they eventually managed to acquire the mine and bring down the corrupt officials, those implicated behind it would only become more vigilant. She didn't believe that only this one place had a problem.

Having been involved in court politics for two years and with guidance from others, Xie Nuo was no longer a complete novice; he could understand some things after a little thought. Right now, the Zhao Kingdom had no shortage of talent, and his aunt intended to eliminate all those involved in the scheme.

The current Zhao Kingdom has the confidence to eliminate these people, leaving no one to fill the vacancies.

This is all thanks to the groundwork laid by my aunt over the years: the girls' academy, the official academy, and the opening of the Wen'ao Pavilion—all of which truly brought forth countless talents from all walks of life in the Zhao Kingdom. Given the current situation, barring any mishaps, the Zhao Kingdom will only become stronger.

She is someone who has seen the world from the shoulders of giants, and therefore has a deeper understanding.

It must be said that the things passed down from the Ao Kingdom played a significant role.

Sometimes she wondered if the founding empress of the Ao Kingdom had some kind of system, otherwise how could one brain hold so much information?
At least she couldn't fake it. She couldn't even figure out a glass cement recipe. She vaguely knew the general idea of ​​the simplest soap recipe, but she was completely clueless about how to make it.

The capital city now has concrete floors.

Some official roads are also gradually being paved with cement.

Xie Nuo couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. In addition, the carriage wheels were no longer wooden wheels, so this trip should be much more comfortable.

Xie Nuo hurriedly left the palace.

The official pretext wouldn't be going to a certain place; how she actually gets there is up to her to arrange. Azhen generally doesn't interfere once she's made the arrangements, whether it's Xie Nuo or any of her other ministers.

She might also arrange for the protection of other officials, especially those who are quite capable, to avoid losing an important minister.

Xie Nuo already had Seventeen by her side, along with several other men. They would definitely protect her well until they achieved their goal, so she didn't need to worry at all.

A few years ago, Xenno encountered a crisis, and Seventeen was exposed to Xenno.

For some reason, Seventeen did not report it.

A-Zhu had already arranged for someone to keep an eye on things, which is how she found out about these things.

She guessed that during their time together, Seventeen had developed other feelings for Xie Nuo, and Xie Nuo's care for Seventeen after he was injured saving Xie Nuo had further made Seventeen's heart turn towards Xie Nuo.

Seventeen should be the one who knows Xie Nuo's situation best. Her heart is already leaning towards her, and she definitely hopes that Xie Nuo can eventually ascend to the throne.

But none of it matters.

This was chosen by Seventeen himself.

If he were loyal, knew his responsibilities, and whose side he belonged to, his martial arts skills would definitely be far beyond what they are now.

As for the men around Xie Nuo, although they help her in everything, even if they all know what's going on, they never reveal their true intentions or identities. On the surface, all their actions have only one purpose: for Xie Nuo, simply because they care about her.

Even Seventeen, who followed Xie Nuo around every day, didn't notice that those men had ulterior motives. These men would even quarrel and get jealous over trivial matters, as if they were really infatuated with Xie Nuo.

Xie Nuo wasn't truly ignorant; he had already sensed their intentions.

But she was conflicted. All of these men were good, and each had their own merits. She felt it was difficult to choose any of them.

Fortunately, they didn't say anything, which relieved her.

Upon returning to his residence, Xie Nuo immediately summoned Yun Qinglan and the others, explaining that he had been assigned a secret mission.

Although Xie Nuo did not get married, Azhen bestowed upon her a house and even gave her the title of princess—Ning Nuo—to facilitate her actions.

Xie Kui's title is Ning Kui.

For Xie Nuo, it was indeed quite good. He could discuss matters with Yun Qinglan and the others in his own place without having to worry about anything.

Yun Qinglan and the others were delighted to hear that Xie Nuo had accepted such an important task.

The fact that they could gain the trust of the person in the palace proves that their efforts were not in vain.

Regarding this mission, the men sat together, racking their brains for a strategy.

Xie Nuo didn't just stand by and watch; he would say a few words from time to time, and when he saw that they were thirsty, he would arrange for someone to boil pear water, taking good care of them.

In Xie Nuo's view, these men were not only her friends, but also her advisors.

As the lord, isn't it normal for her to ask her advisors to help her handle things? She only needs to grasp the general direction.
