It's just a simulation game, how did the fairy become real?

Zhou House.

"Did he really say that?"

"Not a single word is different!"

"Terminate the plan."

Zhou Zhongguang's four simple words left Zhou Zhenye speechless.

No more than five people know the inside story of Pei Yichen's plan.

Of the remaining parts, we only know one or two links at most.

"Father, we've been planning this for so long. If we stop now, won't all our efforts have been in vain?"

"Based on this kid's previous actions, he shouldn't have asked for the position of Minister of War..."

Zhou Zhongguang sensed that something was wrong.

Over the course of four years, Pei Yichen's actions may have seemed a bit exaggerated, but there were still patterns to be found.

He was very cautious with every step he took.

He rose directly from a local official to the Minister of War.

Pei Yichen has his eye on military power?

Is he able to handle it?

Since he already knew the outcome, why did he still want that position?

Is this a veiled rejection, or a test?

"Father, is such a small problem enough to warrant ending the plan?"

As long as he brings the weapons into the warehouse, no matter what he does with them, his fate will be the same!

It's just an empty title; what good would it do to grant it to him?

Zhou Zhenye said in a low voice. Although he didn't understand why his father kept targeting Pei Yichen, there was nothing more to say since the plan had been set.

"This kid isn't that simple..."

The plan has been slightly altered; they must completely absolve us of any responsibility!

Even if we fail this time, we must not let the Zhou family get into trouble.

He'll have plenty of opportunities once he returns to the capital.

Zhou Zhongguang also felt that he might have made a mountain out of a molehill.

As long as Pei Yichen dares to touch this batch of weapons, he has a way to pin Pei Yichen to the ground!

Chapter 12 Bold Pei Yichen, Be My Male Concubine Boss!

At this very moment, inside a restaurant in the capital city.

“Pei Yichen, you are becoming more and more presumptuous. You don’t even bow to the emperor.”

The moment Jiang Li entered the private room of the restaurant, she saw Pei Yichen resting his chin on his hand, looking languid as if he was about to fall asleep.

"Your Majesty, this humble subject greets you."

Pei Yichen gave a playful bow and exchanged a smile with Jiang Li.

After Pei Yichen let it slip last time, Jiang Li stopped pretending to be someone else.

When they were alone together, there was no distinction between ruler and subject.

They are just close friends.

Only when she is with Pei Yichen will Jiang Li reveal her true emotions.

In the palace, she was the emperor, ordained by Heaven.

In front of Pei Yichen, she could forget everything and simply be a carefree, playful girl.

"The situation at Zhenbeiguan is not good, so I plan to go there myself."

"The memorial submitted by the Zhou family has already been approved for you, and you can head north at any time."

"There's one more thing, I plan to use this as a pretext."

If things go well, the Zhou family will suffer a major financial loss.

If it succeeds, that old fox won't dare to make any big moves for at least three to five years.

Pei Yichen briefly explained the matter of military equipment to Jiang Li.

Zhou Zhongguang was cautious in his actions. Even though Pei Yichen knew the Zhou family's plan and most of the implementation details, he had not yet found a reasonable way to frame them.

Even if you kill more of the Zhou family's underlings, it won't make a difference if you can't get them into trouble.

"Once this batch of weapons is stored in the warehouse and deployed to the front line, the battle will be over and the army will collapse like a house of cards."

The quality of that batch of military equipment was far worse than that of farm tools.

Soldiers fighting with such weapons are simply committing suicide.

"The Zhou family is truly lawless!"

Jiang Li trembled with anger upon hearing this.

They might be forgiven for embezzlement on ordinary days, but when the enemy attacked, they dared to tamper with the weapons!

Whether it was a trap set for Pei Yichen or not, she couldn't accept it!

"When can we make a move against the powerful families?"

Jiang Li took a big bite of the chicken leg.

The female official in charge of etiquette was in charge of everything in the palace. She was allowed to eat whatever she liked, but not too much of it.

"Soon."

On this journey north, I will try to find a way to place personnel into the army.

At the same time, I made a request to Zhou Zhongguang.

He requested the position of Minister of War.

The arrangements within the aristocratic family are nearing completion; all that remains is to help Jiang Li regain control of the military.

As long as they can control the military, the powerful families won't be able to cause trouble for long.

"You want him to give it to you?"

Jiang Li ate another piece of pork belly.

"They probably won't give it to me."

But once I'm in the Ministry of War, many things will become much simpler.

"How about I find a way to get you in?"

In the four years since, Jiang Li has grown a lot, and she can control much more things than before.

"No, if you take action, it might expose our relationship."

unless...."

"Unless what?"

"I've fallen out with the Zhou family."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Li immediately understood Pei Yichen's meaning.

Checks and balances!

Just like Pei Zhongshu and Zhou Chongguang before.

"Eat less, otherwise you'll have a hard time getting married if you gain weight."

Seeing Jiang Li's oily face, Pei Yichen couldn't help but tease her.

"You audacious Pei Yichen, you are the first person to dare to urge me to get married in front of me!"

I'm only twenty-seven, I have a long way to go!

"In traditional Chinese society, some women get married as early as their teenage years."

Pei Yichen teased.

"Go! Go! Go!

At worst, I'll just hire a bunch of gigolos!

"Then we'll make Pei Yichen the head of the male concubines!"

"Hahaha, I would never be a gigolo."

"The eldest son of the Pei family, doesn't he have any dignity?"

Pei Yichen laughed and, as usual, took out a pastry from his pocket.

"Try this, I've been looking for it for a long time."

You'll definitely like it.

Jiang Li's eyes lit up; Pei Yichen always brought out different pastries.

But each pastry has its own unique charm.

Jiang Li gently picked up one of the pieces, put it in her mouth, and savored it.

"Not sweet, a bit dry, just so-so."

As Jiang Li commented, she ate another piece.

Pei Yichen just smiled as he looked at Jiang Li. She was always very sarcastic, but she always ate the pastries with great enjoyment.

"I have to go now. You can go back by yourself."

"I'll go as well."

Jiang Li rolled up the pastries, got up, and followed behind Pei Yichen.
