The king's apex spoils him and is reborn

The sky in the south of the Yangtze River is unpredictable, and the sun was shining brightly before, but after a while, there was a misty rain that came and went in a hurry.

On the road where people come and go, there are Mrs. Pianpian walking side by side, all of them look very good, which is pleasing to the eye.

Under the oiled paper umbrella, Ji Muqing saw Hongqiao in the distance behind Tianji, tugged at Xiao Beichen's sleeves, and told him to look away from himself: "What's the use of always looking at me, it's rare to come to the south of the Yangtze River, Your Highness should appreciate this Light rain of apricot blossoms."

Xiao Beichen turned a blind eye to the frequent sideways of passers-by, clasped Ji Muqing's hand tightly with five fingers and pulled it to his lips, "From now on, I will never forget this Jiangnan, and it's just because I share the appreciation with you."

This person became more and more able to talk about love, and the corners of Ji Muqing's mouth could not restrain his joy.He stared at the clasped hands, his eyes full of longing for the future: "When will His Highness hold me like this in the capital?"

Xiao Beichen chuckled: "After the imperial decree is issued, we can start to arrange the marriage."

"Then it looks like we'll have to wait a little longer. Although Your Majesty has stopped choosing concubines for you recently, he's worried about me in his heart and will do everything possible to delay my life." Ji Muqing pouted angrily.

"It won't happen, it's been exhausting, and the father is also uncomfortable." Xiao Beichen stretched out his hand and gently brushed away the broken hair on his forehead that covered his eyes, and comforted him softly.Afterwards, Xiao Beichen recalled something, stroked his knuckles up and down, and asked, "You...are you going to the Western Territory again?"

Ji Muqing was slightly stunned, and quickly understood the meaning behind the words: "Are you asking me why I haven't handed over my military power yet?"

When Ji Muqing went to the western border, he brought his guards with him, but after all, it was only a small team, and he needed the power to dispatch the western border garrison to go deep into Moyan Pass.

Seeing Xiao Beichen nodded inconspicuously, he explained indifferently: "It's just to prevent accidents. Besides, I have issued a military order. If something goes wrong at Moyan Pass, I have to go back to guard it. Then I will use military power too much." trouble."

Xiao Beichen's eyes darkened a little, and he said in a solemn voice: "The people say that you went to the battlefield for me."

This seems to be the credit of Ji Muxi.Ji Muqing frowned slightly, looked at the tension in his eyes calmly, and replied: "Folk rumors are the most unbelievable."

Xiao Beichen was dubious, paused for a long time, and suddenly asked: "Ji Muqing, which is more important, my family or my country?"

"Equally important." Ji Muqing didn't think about it, and then he realized that Xiao Beichen's topic kept jumping, and now he asked another difficult question.

Immediately afterwards, Xiao Beichen also realized that, fortunately, the plaque in front of him was the plaque of Xu Mansion. He secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and walked forward a few steps alone, "We are here, let's go in first."

Ji Muqing still stood where he was.It has to be said that it is rare for Xiao Beichen to care so much about his weight in his heart.He couldn't help but smile, and jumped in front of Xiao Beichen in a few steps to open the way for him.

Xu Hengzheng, who was still in the mansion, was wandering around. Just as he was considering when to visit, he saw his subordinates hurried over to report: "My lord, His Royal Highness and General Ji have arrived."

Xu Heng's bulging stomach suddenly shrank, "Hurry up and ask someone to come in."

Shortly after--

"The lower official is going to visit His Highness in the palace, how can I let you come to the humble house first." Xu Heng ran over anxiously, seeing Xiao Beichen coming over with an umbrella, he quickly blamed himself: "It's because the lower official didn't entertain well, You were even allowed to come on foot.”

"I don't blame the governor, it's this hall and General Ji who want to see the streets and alleys of Linzhou." Xiao Beichen handed the umbrella to the guards who followed behind him, and said politely: "Master Xu has official duties, so this hall should not disturb you." .”

Seeing that Xiao Beichen's face was calm and his tone was not unhappy, Xu Heng wiped the cold sweat from his temples and let out a long breath.After relaxing, he leaned over to guide the way: "Your Highness and the general please move to the back hall, tea has been prepared in the mansion."

A few days ago, the Ministry of Industry had issued an order to build the river bank.Xu Heng also knew that Xiao Beichen personally came to supervise the construction this time because he valued this project.

Xu Heng will still be aware of this situation. After the nobleman was seated, he directly reported the progress of the project: "I just went to check Jiangdao two days ago, and found that April [-]st has been completed."

"Don't worry, it's my general's intention to build the river bank." It was Ji Muqing who spoke first.He shook the teacup leisurely, and said, "Before that, Ji would like to ask Mr. Xu some questions about the widening of Jiang Dao earlier."

Xu Heng blinked his eyes, and said after understanding: "It's just a coincidence, and the official also mentioned it in the notebook of the Shangzuo." He moistened his throat with water, and then started again: "A few months ago, there was a An expert came to be a guest in the Xiaguan's mansion, and persuaded the Xiaguan to take some countermeasures to prevent the water from rising in the spring. Hearing that everything he said made sense, the Xiaguan boldly petitioned for orders."

"General, don't tell me. The craftsmen dug a few ditches overnight, and the last shovel just happened to be flooded." Xu Heng said, his eyes brightened, as if he was extremely happy with his previous decision.

Ji Muqing's mood did not rise along with him, but he took a sip of tea in a leisurely manner, and said, "It is said that Lord Xu strongly recommended that expert, so why not invite him right now, this general will find out the truth for His Royal Highness. Then he turned to Xiao Beichen and asked, "What do you think, Your Highness?"

Last night, when Ji Muqing wanted to ask for advice, Xiao Beichen raised his eyebrows, nodded and said, "Please trouble General Ji."

Xu Heng really wanted to recommend it. Seeing that Xiao Beichen had no objection, he happily asked his subordinates to invite someone over.During the waiting period, he has been vigorously praising the expert he knows.When people really arrived, he couldn't help becoming nervous again.

"His Royal Highness, General Ji, this is Mr. Song, Song Zhengxiu, whom the officials mentioned."

Xiao Beichen looked up, and saw a refined and elegant middle-aged man walking slowly outside the door, dressed in a navy blue cotton and linen gown, his deep eyes as still as still water were full of flashy relief.Suddenly being summoned by a nobleman, he walked step by step without being humble or overbearing, and he really had the appearance of a celebrity outside the world.

"Grassman Song Zhengxiu pays his respects to His Highness the Crown Prince and General Ji."

As soon as the steady and calm voice came out, Ji Muqing dreamed back to her previous life in an instant.At that time, Song Zhengxiu had just entered the palace to discuss state affairs, and happened to encounter the invasion of the Chijin Kingdom. He was a civil servant who was born in civilian clothes.Most of his political achievements in the next two years were due to Qiu Shan's achievements, which made the civil servants full of praise.Later, he won the favor of Xiao Tianze for no reason, and jumped to the position of national teacher overnight.

In the previous life, Ji Muqing often saw Ji Huaiyuan chatting with him, and often heard Ji Huaiyuan praise him for being well-educated, full of economics, and his ability to understand the past and the present.It's a pity that he has a bright future, but in the end he still knows a lot about foreign countries.

Later, when Ji Muqing thought back on everything about him, he believed even more that maybe he had already arranged everything with Chi Jin Guo from the very beginning.Although there are some things that Ji Muqing envisioned cannot be explained, but the best way now is to hold him before he has power.

After Ji Muqing's wandering thoughts turned back, Xiao Beichen had already talked with people a lot, and he secretly cherished his talents: "Mr. Song is so knowledgeable, why didn't he pass the scientific examination and enter the court?"

Song Zhengxiu nodded and lowered his eyebrows and said: "The grass people were too proud when they were young, and they left home in a rage before the first autumn. Later, when they encountered a love disaster, they wasted many years to get out of it."

"It's really a pity." Xiao Beichen sighed softly.

Seeing that the trend of the conversation was very correct, Xu Heng hinted: "However, it's not too late now. With Mr. Song's ability, he can immediately enter the court and become an official, and his official career will go smoothly in the future."

Throughout the ages, selecting talents and appointing talents is not limited to imperial examinations.Regarding Xu Heng's hint, Xiao Beichen had his own thoughts.He was thinking about whether to take some extra assessments when Ji Muqing suddenly touched his thigh under the table.

The corners of Ji Muqing's eyes twitched slightly, and he laughed at himself: "Mr. Song just entered the house, and this general felt that he had known each other before, but his mind wandered so far." Then he changed his expression again, and said to Xiao Beichen: "Your Highness, too. See Mr. Song."

Song Zhengxiu was rarely stunned, but quickly realized: "I don't know if General Ji has anything to ask Caomin?"

"It shouldn't be a big deal to Mr. Song, but it's just that this general has always traced back to the source of everything since he was a child." Ji Muqing slowly unfolded the ink folding fan, and continued: "A few days ago, this general also paid attention to Linzhou Jiangdao all the time. Afterwards, the general was very surprised by Mr. Song's prediction, and really wanted to know why, so he came to the state and hoped Mr. Song could clarify the confusion."

"Oh, it's really not a big deal." Song Zhengxiu responded leisurely and said leisurely: "It's just that the grass people happened to go to the Kungu Mountains, the source of the Chengjiang River, last winter. They found that several snow-capped peaks showed signs of breaking, and they encountered several times. Avalanches, so it is guessed that this year's alpine snowmelt will be much more serious than in the past."

Ji Muqing pretended to be surprised, "I didn't expect that Mr. Song would also suffer in that disaster."

Song Zhengxiu's expression was slightly stagnant, and he forced a smile: "Why did the general say that?"

Xiao Beichen frowned when he heard this.

"To tell you the truth, my sister has a ranch at the foot of Kungu Mountain. It happened to be completely buried by the snow on the mountain last winter. The farm workers were surprised by this, so they went up the mountain to check, but found that there were traces of explosives on the bare rocks on the mountain. However, in recent years, ore mining in the Kungu Mountains is strictly prohibited."

Ji Muqing's eyes became sharper, "When the news was sent back to the capital, I guessed that the melting snow on the high mountain might be affected by human beings, so I hurriedly sent someone to check it again a while ago. But the report said that the mountain slope has warmed up and the snow has melted, and all traces have been destroyed. The snow water washed it clean."

This remark was so true that Song Zhengxiu's heart skipped a beat, and his hands under the table clenched into fists.And Xiao Beichen knew from the first sentence he said that it was a fabrication, but in the end he just continued to watch, not intending to expose it.

For Ji Muqing, regardless of whether Song Zhengxiu made his debut this time with hidden tricks or not, his statement has taken most of the credit for this person, and will also turn everyone's attention to the hidden dangers of the mountain.In this way, Song Zhengxiu's desire to find an official position based on the suggestion of widening Jiangdao will not succeed.

Seeing that everyone had their own thoughts, Ji Muqing said again: "Whether this water level surge is God's will or man-made, we don't want to delve into it for the time being, but after this general, I specially went to ask the hidden sage who is good at observing the sky."

Xu Heng seemed to have a lot of faith in such a hermit and an expert, so he hurriedly came to his senses and asked, "But there is another disaster?"

Ji Muqing calmly said, "It is said that the south is warming up quickly, but there seems to be a cold wave in early spring in the north, which meets here and forms a torrential rain. This general feels that what the sage said is reasonable, so I have repeatedly asked His Highness the Crown Prince to negotiate with the Ministry of Industry. Build riverbanks to prevent floods.”

Xiao Beichen: "..."

Xu Heng's eyes lit up when he heard this, "General Ji, I wonder if this hidden sage is in Linzhou?"

"Since I'm in seclusion, I don't want to show up easily." Ji Muqing shook his head and introduced, "My father met and made friends by chance when he was young. Not long ago, he happened to be traveling from Jiangnan to the capital, and passed by Ji's mansion to ask for a glass of water. Going leisurely to the east again."

"That's really a pity." Xu Heng sighed lightly with his hands behind his hands, then assessed the situation and assured him: "Fortunately, the Ministry of Industry has already started construction, and these days the subordinate officials often go to supervise the construction, and it is scheduled to be one foot high before March !"

Ji Muqing nodded solemnly: "Thank you, Mr. Xu."

Xu Heng waved his hand, "The general is serious, this is the duty of the subordinate." Then he looked out of the window and said respectfully: "It's getting late, why don't your highness and the general have lunch in the mansion?"

"Yes." Ji Muqing said with a smile: "Speaking of which, this general and His Highness have never tasted the taste of Jiangnan."

"Don't worry, General Ji," Xu Heng patted his chest, "Your Majesty specially invited the chef from the restaurant, and I will let His Highness try it with you."

Immediately afterwards, he opened the door to make arrangements, and pulled Song Zhengxiu close before he left: "Mr. Song, follow me too."

Ji Muqing watched the two of them leave with satisfaction, and after they walked away, she took some tea to moisten their eloquent tongue.

Xiao Beichen, who watched the whole scene quietly, finally spoke: "Ranch? Sage?"

Ji Muqing was slightly startled, blinking innocent eyes and said: "Sister She is indeed making money every day, and my father is indeed making good friends."

Xiao Beichen: "..."

The author has something to say: Xiao: Continue editing.

Don't do that next time.
