seventh day.

The courtiers' vacation was over, the main hall was full of civil and military officials, and several adult princes also went to the court meeting as usual.

The emperor is still most concerned about Tongtian Pavilion.A year passed, and the emperor gained weight again. He moved his buttocks, found a comfortable position, and asked, "How is Tongtian Pavilion repaired?"

Mi Ying, the young master of Jiangzuo, was covered in cold sweat. He bowed out of everyone and said, "This winter is too cold, many people froze to death, and the construction period is a bit..."

"Crack!" The emperor was about to explode as soon as he slapped the table.

The prince hurried forward and asked, "What about the prisoners in the prison?"

Ting Wei said: "Everyone is arranged to go to Taizhu Mountain, except for some death row prisoners."

The emperor's face was livid, and the crown prince glanced at the emperor and said, "Then change the criminal law, punish minor crimes with heavy punishments, lock up more prisoners, and this person will be there."

"????" Duan Shiyu clenched his fists and rattled.This absurd approach is undoubtedly accelerating the demise of the Duan family river, but the emperor who sits on the entire river actually nodded, intending to agree with the prince's approach.

Duan Shiyu closed his eyes and raised his leg to step forward to refute, but just as he was about to make a move, the great Sima Xiao Zhongling standing behind him kicked him on the heel.

Duan Shiyu looked back at Xiao Zhongling.Xiao Zhongling winked at him, pursed his lips and hissed, telling him to keep quiet.

The emperor was in a fit of anger, Duan Shiyu thought for a while, and listened to Da Sima's opinion, and stood still.

The emperor's expression softened a little, and he asked, "Is there anyone objecting to the prince's proposal?"

None of the officials dared to answer, and there was a complete silence in the main hall.

The emperor is not stupid. It is obviously inhumane to punish minor crimes and heavy punishments for the sake of building Tongtian Pavilion. If this matter is discussed by the court, then his reputation as a violent and inhumane person will be hanged.He glanced around among the officials, snorted, and said, "Ridiculous."

The prince said softly "Huh?" and looked at the emperor in disbelief.

The emperor stared at the doctor Yushi and said, "Let's retreat from the court. This matter will be discussed later."

The prince licked his lips and said, "Father, this... the assassination of King Yue...."

"Oh?" The emperor just got up and sat back on the dragon chair. He glanced at Duan Shiyu and asked the prince, "How is the investigation?"

The crown prince glanced at King Wu furtively. Seeing King Wu's erratic eyes, he secretly smiled and said, "The assassin has already committed suicide."

"Slap!" The emperor slapped the table again, causing all the officials to show fear.

Duan Shiyu glanced at the King of Wu, then at the Prince, but remained silent.

King Wu said: "Maybe it's those thieves."

Speaking of the rebellious thieves, the anger in the emperor's eyes faded, and his face was a little gloomy.

The prince said: "The thieves in the south have calmed down, but since the beginning of winter, the Rongdi side in the north has started to riot again. Only in the past few days, more than a dozen towns in Yongzhou have been looted by them."

Rong Di has been the great enemy of the Central Plains since ancient times.The emperor frowned, his eyes resting on Duan Shiyu.

Duan Shiyu raised his eyes and saw the emperor looking at him, he raised his foot again to ask to lead the troops.The prince hurriedly took advantage of him not moving, and said: "General Yuchi is brave and good at fighting, and he will definitely be able to wipe out that traitor."

Yu Chiyuan was distracted, his mind was full of Wu Xinger's face, when he was suddenly nominated, he looked at the prince in a daze.

The crown prince turned his head, gave him a wink, and said, "General, would you like to go to Yongzhou to destroy Rongdi?"

"Yes!" Yu Chiyuan stepped out of the seats, clasped his fists and said, "I wish to go!"

The King of Wu licked his lips and said, "I am willing to accompany the general to exterminate the bandits."

"You?" The emperor took a few glances at King Wu, shook his head, and looked at Duan Shiyu.

King Wu said: "The king of Yue was seriously injured and has not yet recovered. It is a long way to go."

The emperor hesitated, but in the end he still felt that Yuchi was more than enough, and with the addition of King Wu, it didn't matter.King Wu just wanted to take advantage of Wei Chiyuan's military achievements, so he simply agreed.

After the court, the prince hurried to look for Ji Qingyun.

The things that Ji Qingyun and him mentioned basically all came true. The prince admired Ji Qingyun so much that he thought he had obtained a treasure, but Ji Qingyun was a little bit reluctant to part with Wei Chiyuan, so he briefly explained to the prince, and then He hurried to find Yu Chiyuan.

Yu Chiyuan got the commander-in-chief flag, and on the same day mobilized the troops of Xiliu Camp to march north.

Ji Qingyun stood guard at the north gate and saw Yu Chiyuan's army from a distance.

Yu Chiyuan also saw Ji Qingyun, he rode his horse and walked over, stopped in front of Ji Qingyun, said with a smile: "I'm leaving again, do you want to go to the north with me?"

Ji Qingyun didn't know whether to laugh or cry, Yu Chiyuan sent troops this time, it was his plan.Yu Chiyuan didn't know that he was being used by Ji Qingyun as a chess player, so he happily thought that he was going to be promoted again.Ji Qingyun said: "I can't leave now."

"I know." Yu Chiyuan got off his horse and said, "I'll just ask casually."

Ji Qingyun punched Yu Chiyuan's chest and cursed: "No conscience!"

Yu Chiyuan rubbed his chest and looked at Ji Qingyun.Ji Qingyun's wind and cold have recovered, his face has blood, and he looks refreshed, Yu Chiyuan is under a lot of pressure, he reminded: "Don't hook up with Xing'er while I'm not in the capital."

Ji Qingyun snorted and said, "I'm not free."

Yu Chiyuan saw that Wu Xing'er was interested in Ji Qingyun, he was a little worried, and said: "When I come back, we will compete fairly."

Ji Qingyun withdrew his smile, with a cold face, approached Yu Chiyuan, and whispered: "This time, come back later?"

"Ah?" Yu Chiyuan didn't understand, but seeing Ji Qingyun's appearance, he knew that he was not joking.Yu Chiyuan nodded and said, "I see."

"Yeah." Ji Qingyun said: "You go."

Yu Chiyuan got on his horse and looked at Ji Qingyun several times.Ji Qingyun patted his ass and said, "Don't worry, I will take care of Miss Xing'er for you."

"You!!" Yu Chiyuan gritted his teeth in hatred, but it was important to send troops. He pointed at Ji Qingyun with his whip, snorted, and turned around to walk outside the city gate.

Ji Qingyun stared at the retreating army and breathed a sigh of relief.
