I'm crazy

Chapter 420
No matter which prince it is, they all hope that the fat job in Jiangnan will fall on their own head. Regarding this candidate, it is natural to work on it.

For Emperor Qi Hui, the place in the south of the Yangtze River was really important, and naturally he would not hand it over to others easily, and he still had to think carefully about what kind of confidantes he arranged for.

About this matter, Ji Ze had discussed with Yuan Zhouzhong for a long time.

"Sir, am I not supposed to operate on this?"

Ji Ze asked this question, but obviously he was not reconciled. He basically didn't have the eldest prince Ji Xi and the third prince Ji Suishen, and he didn't have strong support behind him.

If the fight is not fought, I am afraid there is no chance of winning.

Yuan Zhou said: "Your Highness, don't worry, Jiangnan's officialdom should not interfere, because His Majesty attaches great importance to Jiangnan, if you act rashly, it may arouse His Majesty's suspicion."

No matter how wise and mighty the emperor was, he would always have suspicions. Since ancient times, most of the princes who showed their talents prematurely did not die in the struggle for imperial power. It is better to keep a low profile when it is time to keep a low profile.

After Yuan Zhouzhong said this, Ji Ze suppressed his impatience.

Sure enough, at the court meeting a few days later, regarding the candidates for Jiangnan's officialdom, people from the side of First Prince Ji Xi and Third Prince Ji Sui recommended their own candidates one after another.

And the face of the king of the throne is not very good.

Ji Ze could see clearly from below, but the two-pointers who had already been arguing had obviously forgotten their proper proportions.

The emperor's expression was indifferent, and he didn't say yes or no, but said that he would discuss it after suppressing his capacity.

Ji Ze's side was very tactful and never spoke from the beginning to the end.

Things developed very quickly, three days later the emperor decided on the candidates for Jiangnan, none of them were from the side of the eldest prince Ji Xi and the third prince Ji Sui, they were all the emperor's own confidantes.

More importantly, an oral order came down to let the two of them calmly prepare for their marriage at the mansion.

As we all know, the prince's marriage is naturally in the charge of the Ministry of Internal Affairs and his own people, so what preparations can the prince himself have.

Emperor Qi Hui's decree was obviously dissatisfied with the actions of the two of them.

Ji Ze, who was not affected, breathed a sigh of relief, it seems that patience is indeed right.

When the emperor became suspicious, he planted a thorn in his heart. This thorn will not disappear with time, and it will even become deeper and heavier with the passage of time. He may only need to push the flames a few times to get good results .

In Qianyuan Hall, Emperor Qi Hui put down the pen in his hand.

Looking at the candidates who were already on the memorial, they were silent.

How could he not know that Ji Xi and Ji Sui were fighting for the throne for himself to have a bigger bargaining chip.

There is nothing to avoid. Emperor Qi Hui never thought that he was too weak to think about this issue.

No matter how the emperor said that he was the son of heaven and the body of a real dragon, he himself knew that he was just a reflexive body, and he did not have the magic of immortality.

A hundred years later, it is still a pile of loess.

This huge state of Qi will eventually be handed over to future generations.

Emperor Qi Hui never thought about the idea that he would live forever, nor did he intend to hold on to this authority tightly.

After all, being an emperor is really not that good.

If possible, he would also like to step down as soon as possible and travel around the country of Qi under his rule like that little bastard who is still outside.

Sadly not yet.

He has no objection to his son fighting for this position. After all, if he doesn't even dare to fight for this position, he is really too incompetent.

This country cannot be handed over to such a person.

But it was obvious that Ji Xi and Ji Sui had forgotten their priorities.

To be an emperor is to bear the burden of the emperor. Jiangnan is an extremely important place. It depends on who they choose.

No one is really thinking about this country, and it is undoubtedly not to consolidate their own rights.

Even if any one of them chooses a suitable person who truly considers the people and Daqi, he will not choose none of them.

What Emperor Qi Hui was disappointed was not that the two were fighting for this seat, but that the two had forgotten what they should do for Qi as a prince who was supported by the people of Qi in order to fight for this seat.

It seems that he still needs to think again.

Emperor Qi Hui picked up his pen again and continued to review the memorial. At this time, the thought that had flashed before slipped through his mind again.

Ji Xi and Ji Sui stayed at their mansion because of Emperor Qi Hui's decree, and did not do anything more.

At this time, the father was obviously angry, and they were not stupid enough to continue jumping to death at this time.

In Defei's palace, Defei was embroidering a piece of clothing, very calm.

The maids at the side waited on her, and there was no anxiety or panic in the whole palace.

Regarding Emperor Qi Hui's order to Ji Sui, Concubine De accepted it most peacefully, without any dissatisfaction.

Ever since planning for that position, she has been mentally prepared for this, not to mention that it is just to let Ji Sui calm down, there is no actual punishment, and it is even less likely that Concubine De will be in a hurry.

Concubine Xian is probably the one who is in a hurry now.

Concubine De was right, Concubine Xian was indeed dying of anxiety.

After all, she has a beautiful appearance and has been favored since she entered the palace. A son is as valuable as a mother, and Ji Xi has always been valued by His Majesty, and she has never been reprimanded like this.

Although there was no word of punishment in the decree, how could she not understand His Majesty's real meaning.

Watching words and demeanor is the basic way of survival for everyone in the palace.

Now that His Majesty suddenly issued such an order, Concubine Xian, who had always been relatively smooth, couldn't accept it.

But she obviously can only be anxious, and can't do anything.

……

"That's exactly what Mr. said."

Ji Ze raised his glass to Yuan Zhouzhong, thanks to Yuan Zhouzhong's suggestion he didn't act rashly, this time the emperor's impression of him was even better.

Yuan Zhou said: "This is my job."

"Your Highness, what are your plans for His Highness Ming Guang?"

In the celestial phenomena, Ziwei star was flourishing, but the real emperor's appearance was not on Ji Ze's body, which was a big blow to Yuan Zhouzhong who believed that Ji Ze was the future king.

But he believes that the celestial phenomena can go wrong, and he doesn't think a woman can compare to the emperor he thinks.

Ji Ze was silent for a while, and then said, "Now is not the time."

Ji Ze never thought of letting Mingguang go.

Even if she is just a princess now, a princess who doesn't seem to be able to threaten him at all.

But Yuan Zhouzhong, as a member of the Tianji Sect, has his own abilities. Since he said that the light of Ziweixing is on Mingguang, Ji Ze will not take it seriously. What's more, even if he didn't pay much attention to it before, he really saw it. After the royal father loved Mingguang, a strong sense of crisis followed.

Ji Ze would not let him go easily, even if Ming Guang saved him not long ago.

In the struggle for imperial power, either you die or I die.

Yuan Zhouzhong was somewhat satisfied with Ji Ze's answer, the future monarch he chose was not an indecisive person.

Thinking of the master who did not agree with him going down the mountain at the beginning, Yuan Zhouzhong faintly disdains, it is because they stayed in the mountain all day, they fell here because of the secret.

After Ji Ze, who he assisted, becomes the emperor, the Tianji faction will surely become famous. Let's see who else thinks his choice is wrong.

……

In the blink of an eye, several months have passed, and the first snow falls from the sky, dyeing the whole world with silver.

At this time, Lin Yuan who was in an inn looked at the snowflakes in the sky and frowned slightly.

The people in the inn are happy that the first snow is coming, and there will be a good harvest in the coming year.

Lin Yuan's eyes flickered slightly, he was afraid that something would happen.

"Mu An, leave now."

Hearing this, Mu An immediately put down the teacup in his hand. Although he didn't understand why the master was so anxious, it wasn't something he should care about.

Lin Yuan was right, this year's excessive first snow is indeed abnormal.

"Your Majesty, it has been snowing heavily for five days in all parts of Qi. Many people froze to death. Farming has already been affected. If this continues, there may be more victims."

Above the court hall, all civil and military officials looked serious.

No one noticed anything wrong when the first snow fell, but it has been snowing non-stop for several days.

Most of the people live in low thatched huts, and they don't have enough winter clothes to keep out the cold. What's more, according to the current driving, the next year's harvest will be complete, which will make the situation worse.

However, the state of Qi suffered from excessive wear and tear due to the war with the Rou people a few years ago, and has never recovered, and the treasury is not full. His Majesty is sympathetic to the people and exempted the people from taxes for a year.

Natural disasters are imminent, and the situation is very serious.

Emperor Qi Hui looked solemn. The events of the past few days did not allow him to rest for a moment, but he did not panic either.

As an emperor, there are too many things to deal with. I have experienced all kinds of severe situations, but they are almost the same. If everything is panicked, what kind of emperor will I be? Things have not yet reached a truly serious level.

Emperor Qi Hui's thoughts turned in his mind, and he wanted to speak even more.

Suddenly someone rushed into the hall and shouted loudly: "Report! Hurry up at the [-]-mile border crossing!"

Everyone felt cold, Emperor Qi Hui's eyes sharpened, and said: "Show it up."

Emperor Qi Hui looked at the urgent report, and the atmosphere in the hall was extremely stagnant for a moment, and there was no sound at all.

But after a while, it seemed like a long time passed before the minister heard the solemn and solemn words of Emperor Qi Hui: "The Rou clan is here to attack."

really.

When they heard the emergency report from the border, everyone already had a premonition in their hearts, and they were all extremely worried. Not many people like to fight, even the generals who have spent their entire lives in the military and horses. The less the better.

But the invasion of foreigners cannot be avoided.

As soon as Emperor Qi Hui said this, everyone felt like they were coming, and the feeling of worry and irritability before had calmed down a lot.

General Zhennan was the first to shout loudly: "Your Majesty, please go to battle!"

The generals spoke one after another, and the atmosphere in the hall rose.

The civil official also said: "Your Majesty, the Rou people drink their blood and bully our country of Qi, so there is no peace!"

Emperor Qi Hui was a wise emperor, and all civil and military officials were naturally not crooked. Although there were suggestions for peace, most of them were seeking war.

After all, what kind of foreign race the Rou people are, and the country of Qi where they have fought for hundreds of years is very clear, cruel and bloody, without any humanity.
