Chapter 1033 Perfect and flawless
Chapter 1033 Perfect and flawless
Madam Mei's plan was like a bolt of thunder in the clear sky, shocking Lan Tong so much that he stood there in a daze, his whole body numb.
What kind of strategy is this?
Is she kidding?
This is the wise man who is as wise as Princess Yuexi?
Could it be that the title of Princess Yuexi's first counselor is just for fame?
Qiu Bi, as always, clapped and cheered.
"Madam, a brilliant plan!"
"If I were to come up with a plan, I would be completely at a loss. I can't even compare to your extraordinary talent."
Ning Jiewei smiled with great joy.
"Hahaha, Master Gao, you're too kind."
"How can I be as smart as you say?"
"I'm just an ordinary person."
Seeing how much fun the two of them were having, Lan Tong couldn't help but doubt that he was not talented enough, so he couldn't understand the cleverness of the plan.
"Madam Mei, are you able to tell me all about your brilliant plan?"
"No follow-up?"
Ning Jiewei's eyes were blank and her smile was a little frozen.
"That's it, no follow-up."
Qiu Bi cast an admiring look at him.
"Madam's plan is perfect and flawless."
The slight feeling of inferiority that had just arisen in her mind immediately vanished, and Ning Jiewei smiled brightly again.
"Look at you, you're full of praise. I just used a little trick."
"Thank you for your praise, Lord Gao. I am deeply ashamed."
Lan Tong was puzzled and asked questions to test his talent.
"Madam, may I ask how we can convince the governors to recommend Ning Cangmo to the position of Prime Minister?"
Ning Jiewei was very happy.
"I have my own way."
Lan Tong asked.
"I have my own way. What is it?"
Ning Jiewei looked relaxed.
"The governor's office is full of my people. Don't worry, they will listen to me."
Lan Tong continued to ask questions.
"Today is not the day for the imperial examination. How can you get Ning Cangmo to take office quickly?"
Ning Jiewei couldn't answer and lost some patience.
"Didn't I tell you? I have my own way."
Lan Tong twitched the corners of his mouth.
"All right……"
"Excuse me, but how did you ensure that the person designated by the Secret Service to train Prince Di Jin's attendants was Ning Cangmo?"
"The Secret Service is not our side."
"Madam, are you able to intervene in the affairs of the Secret Service?"
Hearing that she seemed to be deliberately making things difficult for her, Ning Jiewei's face darkened and she looked unhappy.
"this is very simple."
"I don't need to make sure the Council appoints someone. I just need to tell Prince Di Jin that if the person to train the attendants is not Ning Cangmo, he can find a reason to be dissatisfied with the attendant and send it back for re-election until Ning Cangmo is chosen to be in charge."
Lan Tong's comments were insightful and to the point.
"The Secret Service is under the Emperor's command. Madam, if you plot like this, it's easy for mistakes to happen, giving the enemy an opportunity to exploit."
Ning Jiewei's reasoning was very logical.
"If something goes wrong, so what? I'll adapt to the situation and solve all problems."
"No matter how brilliant a plan is, there will always be times when it goes wrong. As long as the planner knows how to adapt to the situation, there will be no problem."
Blue pupil pointed out.
"That's true, but at least we should be as cautious as possible when formulating our initial plan, so that the implementation process can go smoothly."
After understanding what she said, Ning Jiewei became angry and embarrassed.
"What do you mean? Is my plan not sound enough?"
Lan Tong kindly reminded.
"Madam's plan is indeed not perfect."
"If you do this, not only will it not hurt Ning Cangmo at all, but it will also be harmful to us."
"Firstly, Ning Cangmo easily entered the court as an official and was appointed to the high position of Prime Minister. Secondly, there are many eunuchs who come and go in Prince Dijin's palace, making it very easy to arrange informants to lie dormant inside."
"Excuse me, Madam, how do you defend yourself against enemy informants?"
"Besides, this plan has many other flaws. If Madam can't even answer this one question correctly, how will you deal with other unexpected situations?"
Unable to break the deadlock, Ning Jiewei felt helpless, and her face was humiliated, making her even more angry.
"I……"
"What enemy informant? How could there be any unexpected situation?"
"What right do you have to assert this when it hasn't happened? You have brilliant ideas because you are clever enough. The emperor's ministers would never think of these things."
Lan Tong is serious and meticulous.
"I have no brilliant ideas, nor am I a witty person."
"I want to ask, if the emperor's ministers think of this, what will Madam do?"
Ning Jiewei was so angry that her face turned red.
"What do you care what I do? I'll do whatever I want."
"Why do you have so many questions?"
"If you don't agree with my plan, then please ask the village chief to think of a clever plan to deal with Ning Cangmo!"
After testing her strength, Lan Tong stopped asking questions.
"I can't outsmart him."
Ning Jiewei curled her lips and complained angrily.
"You're incompetent and picky."
Finally finding a way to talk, Qiubi hurriedly tried to mediate.
"Madam, please calm down. The village chief is only expressing his concern."
"I think she's not denying your talent, but is saying that Ning Cangmo is too cunning."
"She's afraid you'll suffer."
Lan Tong responded accordingly.
"Yes, that's what I meant. Thank you, Lord Gao, for your understanding."
"My words may be inappropriate, please forgive me, madam."
Ning Jiewei was filled with anger and couldn't let it go.
"You really can't speak, no wonder Master Lin looks down on you!"
The pain point was touched, and Lan Tong looked a little embarrassed.
Hearing that the words were not good, Qiu Bi frowned and scolded in a low voice.
"Madam, please don't speak carelessly."
"The village head is one of our own. How can you, Madam, hurt her with your words?"
She turned to the village chief and tried to comfort and persuade him.
"Madam, you are quick-witted and speak without thinking. Please don't blame me, village head."
Realizing that she had said the wrong thing, Ning Jiewei apologized.
"I was so angry that I lost control of my mouth. I beg the village head to forgive me."
Lan Tong is dignified and decent.
"You're welcome, madam."
"I was wrong to question Madam's brilliant plan. Madam, you are my disciple, and I should accept your reprimand."
"Thank you, Madam, for your teachings."
Qiu Bi gave a thumbs up.
"The village chief is magnanimous and can be regarded as a role model for all people."
Lan Tong gave him some face and smiled.
"I don't deserve it. Thank you, Lord Gao, for your praise."
She stood up respectfully, gestured for him to come in, kept smiling, and then ordered him to leave.
"We have plenty of time to chat and will meet again later. As for delivering the letter, please do not delay. Please go to Yuexi Mansion as soon as possible."
Qiu Bi left her seat.
"Okay, I'll go to Yuexi Mansion now."
Ning Jiewei left her seat immediately.
"I'm leaving too. I'll go see Aunt Pan first, and then I'll start my plan."
Afraid that Madam Mei would not be able to handle it and would keep pestering her, Lan Tong found an excuse in advance to prevent this from happening.
"Please walk slowly, both of you."
"I'll take you away and then come back to catch up on some sleep."
"I didn't sleep well last night. I was thinking of having a good sleep after entertaining Mr. Gao."
After a few steps of farewell, Qiu Bi stopped him.
"In that case, please stay."
"I'm sorry to bother you so much."
Blue pupils are humble.
"Master Gao is being reserved."
"Etiquette cannot be abolished. I should respectfully see you two off."
Ning Jiewei pushed her inside.
"If you don't sleep well, you might get sick. It's cold outside. Go back to sleep."
"It is enough to send it here. This lady will allow you to skip the formalities."
Lan Tong stopped and saluted solemnly.
"Thank you, ma'am, for your consideration."
"Farewell, Madam Mei, and farewell, Mr. Gao."
Qiu Bi left Ning Mansion cautiously, carrying the secret letter.
Ning Jiewei watched her go, turned around and walked towards Pan Xiangru's room.
