Quick travel: I am bound by the longevity system

"Yes! Have you seen the vine next to it? Its leaves are edible." Lin Jiu pointed to the sweet potato vine not far away and smiled.

Lin Jiu dug out potatoes from several acres of land in one day with a plow, but it took some effort to put them from the ground into the dug cellar. On the same day, Lin Jiu gave some of the damaged potatoes to Xing'er. He made a pot of roasted potatoes and invited those who helped with the work to eat, and told them that the potatoes in the cellar would be planted as seeds next year, and no one would have to worry about starvation.

After digging the potatoes, it was time to topping the cotton. When the people in Dingyuan County knew that Lin Jiu had planted a large area of ​​Fugui flowers, they all ran to the fields to see what the Fugui flowers looked like. Seeing Lin Jiu teaching people to topping, they also Be bold enough to step forward and ask.

Whenever someone asked, Lin Jiu always answered carefully. And told them that the real name of this flower is cotton, which can be used to prevent thread weaving and can also be made into quilts to protect against cold. After the cotton harvest, she distributed the cotton seeds to everyone. When the time came, she only needed to plant a few acres in front of and behind the house, which would be enough for the whole family.

"What a happy event, what a happy event!"

"Zhuzi, what's the big happy event? Did my lord take you to clean up another group of bandits?"

Bandits were rampant at the border. After Lin Jiu and Qi Mingjing took office, they often took Zhu Zhu and their gang of government officials to suppress the bandits, and every time the bandits they caught were dragged to build bridges and pave roads.

Now their road in Dingyuan County is much easier than before.

"Who are those bandits? The unlucky one this time is Rong Di. The Sixth Prince led his men to the royal court, killed the Rongdi Khan, and captured the Rongdi royal family. The Sixth Prince will bring these prisoners back to the city tomorrow. I'm big Qibianguan no longer has to worry about being harassed by Rongdi and Donghan, is this a happy event?"

"Sure enough, it's a great event! I wonder how the Lord and the Sixth Prince will arrange these hateful Rongdi prisoners this time?"

"How to arrange it? Just look at the prisoners in East Korea, clearing wasteland, digging reservoirs... Anyway, we adults have many ways to deal with them."

"Yes, I will sign up to supervise them when the time comes. If they don't undergo labor reform, I will serve them with a whip."

The people of Dingyuan City cheered when they found out. They had suffered so much from the Rong Di in the past few years, and none of their sons had died at the hands of the Rong Di. Now their governor was destroying the royal court of the Rong Di, not just for the sake of it. Their dead sons and daughters took revenge.

On the second day, Dingyuan City was buzzing with gongs and drums. All the people spontaneously watched Qi Mingjing on the street escorting Rong Di's prisoners into the city. These people were tied to a rope with one hand and one foot, looking like It's a bunch of grasshoppers.

No one of the people present threw vegetables, rotten eggs, or excrement at the captives. This made Wei Zifeng, who had been nervous, breathe a sigh of relief. He didn't want to be covered in dirt after parading around the streets. smell.

If the people at the border knew what Wei Zifeng was thinking, they would definitely tell him that you are overthinking, how valuable are these things? These barbarians don't deserve to enjoy it.

After taking these prisoners for a parade, they were detained separately, and Lin Jiu had already arranged a place for these prisoners. The men were digging reservoirs, the women and children were doing bulldozing, and the honest and well-behaved ones were Arrange to spin wool. Anyway, Dingyuan County does not support idle people. If you want to live, you have to work.

On the official road in the capital, two fast horses galloped past, and the people on the horses roared as they ran.

"Victory news for five hundred miles, pedestrians retreated, great victory on the border: the Sixth Prince went straight to the Royal Court of Rongdi and captured members of the Rongdi Royal Family..."

The passers-by who were walking were stunned for a moment, and then immediately cheered after hearing what the messenger yelled.

The messengers walked unimpeded to the outside of the Tai Chi Hall. A guard immediately came over to lead the horse, and a small yellow gate took the victory report from the two men and respectfully sent it to the Tai Chi Hall. The guard arranged for the two of them to temporarily drink tea and rest in a side room, waiting for the king's summons.

"Okay, the Sixth Prince is indeed the victorious general of our Great Qi." Emperor Taikang laughed immediately after reading the victory report.

"According to Gu's decree, the six princes defeated the Eastern Han coalition forces of Rong and Di, and marched directly to the royal court of Rong and Di. This happy event should be celebrated by everyone. A new governor of the Northeast was established, and the sixth prince was promoted to the governor of the Northeast. Lin Jiu, the eldest son of Duke Zhu, succeeded to the title of Duke of Zhu. , Dingyuan County was changed to Dingzhou Prefecture, and Zhu Guogong Lin Jiu continued to hold the post of Dingzhou Prefecture concurrently."

"Your Majesty, it is a favor for Lin Jiu to succeed the Duke of the country. Is it too much of a favor to allow him to succeed to the position of the state capital?"

As soon as Emperor Taikang's decree came down, some courtiers stood up to oppose it.

Qi Mingchen winked at one of the ministers, but before the minister could stand up, he heard the fourteenth prince who had just obtained the qualification to go to court say sarcastically.

"Master Wu worked so hard to prevent Duke Zhu Guo from being promoted. Is it because he was afraid that Duke Zhu would come to you to avenge him for whipping her that day?"

"Father, I have often heard people in the palace say that no one should offend Mr. Wu, otherwise even the prince would have to cross his arms when entering Zongzheng Temple. I heard that last time Zhu Guogong came out of Zongzheng Temple, there was no one on him. A good place. Even Brother Six was threatened by Master Wu when he stopped Master Wu from attacking?"

Qi Mingzhan said silently in his heart: Fourth brother, this Wu Laogou dares to frame you, brother, I will avenge you now, brother, I am much more considerate than Lao Jiu. Sixth Brother, Sixth Brother, for the sake of me helping you avenge your sweetheart, if you come back this time, you must teach me kung fu!

"Your Majesty, Wu Su actually doesn't take the prince seriously, which shows how arrogant and domineering he is on weekdays. I beg your Majesty to punish Wu Su for his crime of contempt for the imperial power."

"Your Majesty, I have this memorial."

The supervisory censor Zhang Yao came out from among the ministers and gave Wu Su a meaningful look at the end. Wu Su suddenly had a bad feeling.

Emperor Taikang nodded.

"I report to your Majesty that Wu Ping, the son of Wu Su under Zong's command, raped women of the people, allowed slaves to hurt others, and the Wu clan occupied people's fields. Wu Su accepted bribes during his tenure as Zongzheng. I sincerely request your Majesty to punish Wu Su severely and provide justice to the victims. "

Zhang Yao said righteously.

"It's over."

Wu Su collapsed to the ground, knowing that he was finished. Back then, relying on the support of the prince, he never paid attention to these princes. It was not that he had not looked for opportunities to find these princes before, and the king never expressed his position. On the contrary, he still trusted him.

Wu Su knew that this was the king's attempt to give the prince more leverage.

Wu Su also became a core member of the princeling party, but who could have known that this prince would be rejected as soon as he said he was rejected. Although the prince was not deposed, Wu Su knew that this would happen sooner or later.

In recent years, Wu Su relied on the prince to treat unfavored princes and clan members. At that time, Emperor Taikang doted on the prince and turned a blind eye to the actions of these princelings. But now, Emperor Taikang has made it clear that he wants to cut off the prince's gang members. If not, Emperor Taikang would not send the sixth prince and Lin Jiu to the north.

"I am aware of my guilt."
