It's All Because of Wifey!
" Rebellion!?"
Li Shi Min was stunned when he heard Zhou Ru's sudden words.
Even Li Jiage and the slow-witted Yu Mei raised their heads in surprise.
The word 'rebellion' was too explosive!
In this world, the word that the royal family hated the most was rebellion!
Therefore, Zhou Ru's name shocked everyone present.
But after recovering from his shock, Li Shiming frowned and looked at Zhou Ru with a sharp gaze. His eyes contained the might of an emperor, as if he could see through Zhou Ru with a single glance.
"Zhou Ru, why do you say that?" he asked in a deep voice. Do you know how great the influence of rebellion is? This isn't child's play!"
Li Shi Min's aura was unleashed, and the pressure was overwhelming.
All of them pressed down on Zhou Ru.
However, Zhou Ru had seen all kinds of people in his previous life.
When the business was big enough, it could easily affect the international situation. Many leaders of many countries were polite to him, afraid that he would destroy a country's economy if he was unhappy.
Therefore, even if Li Shi Min was the Emperor, in Zhou Ru's eyes, he was nothing.
Zhou Ru took a step forward and stood in front of Li Jiage to prevent Li Shimin's oppression from making Li Jiage feel uncomfortable.
He raised his hand and gently held Li Jiage's small hand, saying softly,""Don't worry, trust your husband."
Li Jiage's eyes instantly became determined.
She nodded heavily. Her voice was soft but full of trust."I believe in my husband's words."
Although Li Jiage didn't know why his husband suddenly mentioned that someone wanted to rebel, he was still willing to believe his husband.
Her husband was the person who treated her the best in this world. She wanted to become the person who trusted her husband the most.
Hearing Li Jiage's heartfelt words, Zhou Ru's smile grew even warmer.
He looked at Li Shiming and said,"Your Majesty, even if I'm not educated, I know that the word 'rebellion' should not be mentioned easily."”
"But since my son-in-law has mentioned it, I naturally have my reasons.”
Li Shi Min saw that Zhou Ru was neither servile nor overbearing even in the face of his oppressive aura. His back was still straight, and his attitude was still calm and composed. This made Li Shi Min nod to Zhou Ru in his heart.
Not to mention anything else, but this bearing was something that few young people in the world could compare to.
Li Shi Min's voice softened,"Tell me your reason."
"Your Majesty, do you know what the missing herbs are for?" Zhou Ru asked calmly.”
Li Shi Min shook his head.
"Remove the pain, stop the pain, reduce the infection, and speed up the healing.”
Zhou Ru said," This is the main function of these herbs. These herbs are not precious. On the contrary, they are extremely common. They are extremely basic medicinal herbs and are very cheap. Any pharmacy will definitely have these herbs.”
" But Your Majesty has heard what the steward said just now. Even though these common herbs are so rare in Chang 'an, these medicine stores are extremely scarce. Don't you think it's strange?”
Li Shi Min frowned.
He was able to sit on the throne, so he naturally had a good brain.
At this moment, being reminded by Zhou Ru, his heart suddenly trembled.
Li Shi Min's eyes widened as his pupils contracted.
"Could it be…" He suddenly looked at Zhou Ru and said.
"It seems that Your Majesty has already thought of the key point." Zhou Ru nodded calmly.”
"If it wasn't for someone buying it on a large scale, there would definitely not be such a lack of such a common medicine.”
"As for the effects of these drugs, I have already mentioned them just now. They can relieve pain, reduce infection, and accelerate healing…"
"With so many medicines and their effects, what kind of situation does Your Majesty think it will be useful?”
Li Shi Min gritted his teeth and said,"The battlefield!"”
"Only the battlefield needs so many medicinal herbs with this effect!”
" I asked Your Majesty if it was purchased by the Imperial Court," Zhou Ru said." I was wondering if the Imperial Court wanted to start a war."”
"But His Majesty's answer to my son-in-law was negative. Since it was not purchased by the imperial court, and the imperial court has no intention of war, then it's very obvious…"
Zhou Ru looked at Li Shi Min and said calmly,""It was someone else who bought it. It was someone else who wanted to start a war!”
"Each country has its own reserve of medicinal herbs, so they won't go through the trouble of coming to the Great Tang's Imperial Capital to purchase medicinal herbs. Thus, the only people who would do this would be people or factions within the Great Tang.”
"If that's the case, with all of this combined, I can deduce that someone might want to rebel. Your Majesty, do you think…there's a problem?”
Li Shi Min looked at Zhou Ru in shock.
Zhou Ru was clearly still wearing that Confucian robe, but the feeling he gave him was so dazzling.
This kind of thinking, this kind of sensitivity.
To be able to deduce that someone had the ability to rebel just from the lack of a few medicinal herbs…
Terrifying!
He looked at Zhou Ru in shock and thought to himself, what kind of son-in-law did he get?
" No problem." He couldn't help but nod." It's reasonable."”
"Zhou Ru, you…"
"You, you deduced all this so easily?" Li Shi Min couldn't help asking.”
"Isn't this a very simple logical deduction?" Zhou Ru asked.”
Li Shimin choked. How was it simple?
This was clearly a top-secret that he and all the officials of the imperial court had not discovered, right?
"Of course."
" This is all my deduction," Zhou Ru said." Your Majesty can still investigate from the side to see if it's true."”
"How?" Li Shi Min asked.
Zhou Ru said lightly," In the past, rebellions always required provisions. Medicinal herbs are actually secondary. Therefore, Your Majesty, you might as well go to the market to investigate the changes in grain prices and see if the grain prices have suddenly started to increase at a certain point in time.”
"If so, it means that someone is buying grain wantonly, causing the price of grain to continue to rise. This can also indirectly verify our guess.”
Li Shi Min's heart skipped a beat, and he looked at Zhou Ru in shock.
In a short period of time, he even thought of a way to verify it.
Was his son-in-law really a commoner from the countryside?
Li Shi Min took a deep breath and said,"Men."
Soon, a eunuch walked over.""Your Majesty."
"Immediately send someone to the Ministry of Revenue to investigate the grain prices and the changes in the medicinal ingredients."”
The eunuch didn't dare to delay and quickly left.
Li Shi Min looked at Zhou Ru again, his expression was different from before.
"Zhou Ru, if everything is as you say, then you are a hero of the Great Tang, a hero who saved the people from the chaos of war!”
Zhou Ru glanced at his little wife who was staring at him in a daze. He chuckled and said,"The meritorious minister should be my wife."
"Ah?"
"Me?"
Li Jiage, who was suddenly called out, had a blank look on his face.
Zhou Ru smiled and said," I asked the butler to buy the medicine for my wife's treatment. The butler's feedback on the medicine let me know this. So if everything is really as I deduced, then isn't it all because of my wife?"”
"Therefore, without my wife, I wouldn't have bought the herbs and wouldn't have known about these things. The people might really have to suffer from the chaos of war, so…my wife is the true hero.”
Li Jiage and Li Shimin were both stunned.
They hadn't expected Zhou Ru to give up such a huge contribution and instead give it all to Li Jiage.
Li Jiage felt a lump in his throat, and his eyes reddened.
"Husband, you, you can't do this. This is all your credit.”
Sob sob sob, husband, don't be so good to me. I'm afraid, I'm afraid that I'll cling to you. If I really die without knowing when, I'll be very, very sad.
I'm also afraid that you'll be sad. If you're sad, I'll be in even more pain.
"Silly girl, we're husband and wife.”Zhou Ru smiled warmly.
Li Shiming looked at Li Jiage, then at Zhou Ru. Suddenly, he took a deep breath.
He had never felt that someone would be such a match made in heaven.
"Your Majesty, this credit goes to Jiage. If everything is as I expected, can Your Majesty promise us one thing?”
Zhou Ru suddenly spoke.
"What is it?" Li Shi Min asked subconsciously.
Zhou Ru patted Li Jiage's head, his eyes filled with gentleness as he said,""Come and visit Jiage more often in the future. She lacks a father's love and care. I hope that this gap can be filled for her in the future.”
