After becoming the king of the subjugated country

The steward was really startled, and the servants around quickly ran back to the gambling house and knocked on the boss' door.

The person who talked to Ji Chen just now was dumbfounded. He pinched his thigh and couldn't help hissing, "Well, so I wasn't dreaming."

"Oh my god, 10 taels." A rich man said in awe, "Although my family has so much silver, it is absolutely impossible to get it out so easily by selling off our ancestral property."

How rich is this man!What a loser!

On the second floor of the opposite restaurant, Lord Qian turned his head and glanced casually, his eyes fixed on the servant in the cup, his eyes were uncertain, he glanced around his Adam's apple and bridge of nose a few times, "This looks like a eunuch in the palace. "

The people around had already realized something, and they all looked at Mr. Qian, trying to finally get some information and confirm their conjectures.

Today, there are only three masters in the palace, one princess, who went to the frontier, and one Ji Pei, who has no name and no role. The rest, of course, is the one in the Golden Temple.

After finishing speaking, Lord Qian turned his gaze to the carriage near the boy. The young man seemed to have already gotten into the carriage, only the curtain was shaking faintly. He glanced at the guards around him, his eyes flashed, "It seems that His Majesty."

"Then shall we..." Some people are ready to move, it is rare to have such a good opportunity to meet.

Lord Qian hesitated for a moment, then shook his head, "It's too deliberate, no, His Majesty will become suspicious."

Speaking of this, Lord Qian showed a smile, "Speaking of which, Shang Nan is coming soon, you all go and urge him, tell him to pass by this road, arrange two people to bring him over on the road, and speak at the right time." Can."

Hearing the words, the boss of the gambling house naturally ran out quickly, smiling all over his face, and wanted to meet this big fat sheep in person.

Naturally, it was impossible for Ji Chen to waste time on a gambling shop owner, signaling for others to refuse, and the carriage drove away directly, but he heard a few noises in the carriage.

"Speaking of which, His Majesty is still in his teenage years, his temperament is uncertain, and he doesn't know what the future will hold." One of them loudly said deliberately.

"Don't talk nonsense, your majesty is a young talent, and now he is full of energy. His majesty's multiple rounds of reforms are also beginning to bear fruit. The future of Yue will naturally get better and better." Bai Qi rarely refuted a few words.

"Speaking of which, Mr. Shangnan Shang, your "Cheng Tian Tian" is the Fu that won the leader in one fell swoop. Which emperor is it written about?" The student next to him thought about it and asked, "Chengtian Chengtian, since Accepting the destiny, it must have something to do with the royal family, you can't really just express your emotions."

Bai Qi said in a warm voice: "Of course it is His Majesty today. I have had an amazing side with Your Majesty, and I really admire His Majesty's ingenuity."

Speaking of this, Bai Qi was not stingy with his praise and compliments, and praised Ji Chen as much as he could.

The carriage drove past in a low-key manner. Bai Qi was busy communicating with the people around him, and was attracted by Mr. Qian, so he failed to notice the movement on the side of the road.

Lord Qian looked at Bai Qi and was more satisfied with him, and went up to the second floor with him, "Okay, very good, Shang Nan, you really lived up to my expectations."

He knew that Shang Nan admired the emperor very much. It didn't matter. Loyal ministers were better. He had more confidence in dedicating people to him. He wasn't thinking of treason, but just thinking of attracting a few people to add chips to the future.

Looking at what Shang Nan said, even if the emperor didn't say anything now, he would definitely have a better impression of Shang Nan.

Speaking of this, Lord Qian encouraged Bai Qi: "Don't worry, the one who can always be by His Majesty's side must be a pure and loyal minister like you, and a treacherous villain like Bai Qi. He got it."

Bai Qi kept smiling, but the curvature of the corners of his mouth dropped a little, "Master Qian is right."

In the carriage, Ji Chen lifted the curtain of the window and glanced out quietly, only to feel that he seemed to be a little thinner, probably because he was very busy this time.

Now that he heard Bai Qi's praise for him again, he felt a little different.

When Bai Qi assumed Shang Nan's identity, she always praised him, but when Bai Qi changed to her own identity, she never said much in front of her.

Could it be that Bai Qi wanted to make good use of Shang Nan's identity?Ji Chen didn't quite understand what he was thinking, so he pondered for a few seconds, and simply asked someone to prepare some high-quality pens, inks, papers and inkstones, plus some rare ornaments, and asked them to send them to the courtyard belonging to Shangnan in a big way.

On the way back, Bai Qi heard a lot of gossip, and even the small tea stalls by the roadside were affected.

Most of them were compliments, His Majesty really admired Shang Nan and gave him gifts again and again, Shang Nan also really admired His Majesty, he often wrote poems and odes.

"The future must be the same as written in the playbook, and the monarch and his ministers must win each other."

"Hand in hand."

"grow old together.

Before the person who said the last sentence finished, he was slapped on the head, "What are you talking about? Can you talk? If you can't, shut up!"

The man gave a shy smile, then shut up silently, "It's all right, I'm not just talking about it for a while."

Bai Qi's mood was particularly delicate, and he couldn't help wondering if he hadn't done enough, why didn't these people dare to say that Bai Qi and His Majesty got along well with each other, and all of them just stared at Kua Shangnan?

With such questions in mind, Bai Qi went back to the yamen to handle some errands. Seeing that he was in a bad mood, Qin Sheng couldn't help asking more questions.

Bai Qi said implicitly: "I've been hearing people praise Shangnan, but I haven't seen anyone say anything about me."

Qin Sheng was full of doubts, "Isn't it because you kill too many people and are too dignified? Shang Nan is different. After all, he is only a student, and he can't refute them one by one when they say a few things about him."

It's a joke, Bai Qi has a cold face, chops off people's heads every day, and exiles ministers. Now that he has been promoted to the fourth rank, he is almost on the verge of rising in place. Who dares to gossip about him on the street?Don't you want your head?

Bai Qi was momentarily at a loss for words.

Qin Sheng only felt that this person was flustered, and said bluntly: "If you are really free, don't think about it, come and help me sort out the documents. The reform of the writing is almost a plan, but how to publish the specific content? , How to compare the fonts is still under discussion.”

Bai Qi simply picked up the papers, "Why don't I ask His Majesty."

Qin Sheng muttered, "You can't rely on your Majesty to do everything."

Ji Chen may not be able to do other things, but this one, Ji Chen can really give a solution, "Go to Ji Pei to borrow someone, lend him his friend Bi Xuan, and say that you have to finish changing the text first. , but also to publish some bibliographies."

Since Bi Xuan was able to send in the memorial, it must be that her plan has tended to be complete, so there is no need to bother the officials.

Bai Qi didn't think much about it, and simply responded quickly, and asked someone to pass on the message.

Bi Xuan panicked, pointed to her nose, and asked, "Me?"

After getting a positive reply, Bi Xuan was stunned for a moment, "I can indeed."

Bi Xuan took a deep breath. Since she has decided to come out, she should be more proactive.

Even though he was not very good at communication, Ji Pei said to Qin Sheng, "I will trouble you to bring her along, she has never been in contact with these things before."

"Okay, don't worry." Qin Sheng glanced at Bi Xuan hesitantly, and said hesitantly, "I have never seen you before, and I will give you a chance to try. I hope you will not disappoint Your Majesty's expectations."

Ji Chen was busy with another matter, so he naturally learned that Xia Guo's envoys were coming, so he naturally had to dig a few more holes for them so as not to let them down.

So, he finally picked out a person from his memory, and decided to use Empress Song one last time to send him to Xia Guo.

Coincidentally, Empress Song was also full of resentment and ran away from Nian Ji Temple, so he didn't need to worry about it.

After running out, Empress Song scratched a girl in the teahouse. That person later reported to the officials. Jing Zhaoyin traced her identity all the way, finally found the problem, and finally decided to stand still and deliver the news all the way to the palace.

Ji Chen flipped through the records, feeling a little horrible, "Empress Song is too useless."

Isn't that begging woman dressed in rags?It was only because Empress Song hadn't experienced many hardships before she thought about washing her face and painting her eyebrows.

Among them, Empress Song was cheated, all her money was taken away, and her valuables were also stolen. Ji Chen had to send someone to pretend to be a good-hearted person, and give her two pieces of clothing to catch some thieves and go to the government. Guide her all the way and send her to Xia Guo's hidden stake.

When the two parties met, Ji Chen finally breathed a sigh of relief. He spent nearly a hundred manpower and three full days to arrange the plan to perfection. "The people finally arrived."

It is really too difficult to wear this kind of bronze without revealing the truth.

Empress Song finally breathed a sigh of relief, "I finally found it."

A sense of ambition suddenly rose in her heart. If a person can survive in the capital intact, revenge must not be difficult.

After going through untold hardships, she finally overheard some people's conversations, speculated all the way, and found the location of Xia Guo's hidden stake in the capital.

In order to avenge her son, she will do whatever it takes, even if it involves bringing people from the Xia Kingdom to participate, she will not care about it.

Pushing open the door of the private house, Empress Song broke in directly.

"Where is the crazy woman!" The middle-aged man was full of astonishment. He ran a small business here and met many customers of all kinds, but none of them were so unreasonable. He rushed into the room without saying a word. .

Queen Song squeezed her sleeves, and said bitterly: "I am Song Miao, I am the late emperor's empress, and I am Ji Chen's aunt, I know that you are from Xia, and I have all the information you want to know about Ji Chen! "

Seeing that the middle-aged man was breathing heavily, Empress Song said: "I only have one condition, and that is that you help me and kill Ji Chen! I want him to go down and accompany my son."

The middle-aged man looked dimly, "...you sit down first, let's chat."

In the palace, Ji Chen actually didn't care much about what Empress Song was scheming, everything had been arranged around him now, the back and forth was just these routines, he was just waiting for the fish to take the bait.

In the end...waited, waited, waited, ten days later, Ji Chen couldn't help sending a letter to Ji Shao who was far away in the frontier, asking her and the general in the frontier what the situation was now.

As a result, the special carrier pigeons flew back and forth, and Ji Chen learned that Xia Guo had just left for a short time, and now a group of more than [-] people crossed the border. It took eight days and barely covered a quarter of the distance.

Ji Chen's face darkened, he wrote a letter, and passed it on immediately, "Inform them, if you can't arrive within 20 days, tell them to go back directly, don't come!"

Stop and go for ten days, is this a tourist!

It also takes time and money for him to arrange the venue, if he doesn't come again, he won't receive it!Simply start a war and bring it down.

At the same time, Xia Guo's team leader also cursed angrily, "Damn Yue people, they don't even know how to repair their own country's roads."

The road was once full of potholes, and their carriages couldn't get through at all, or they got stuck in the mud.People like them in carriages have been motion sick all the way until now, and they can't even ride horses. The surrounding roads hurt horseshoes too much, and several horses have fallen down.

They would rather bring a few more people and use straw to pad the carriage along the way. However, General Qiao killed the number of Xia Guo's troops and said that they must bring more people, so they might as well not go and start the war as soon as possible.

Forget it, weeds are overgrown near the official road, and in some places they have to climb mountains and take shortcuts. They really passed through swamps, valleys, basins and other terrains, encountered countless poisonous snakes and beasts, and even passed by by boat There were many rivers, and even once, the middle deck of a boat was broken!

They were a whole team, many of the guards were wearing heavy armor, just like that, they sank to the bottom like this, and the people who fished up were already dead, and finally the heavy armor was snatched away by that shameless Yue princess.

Before arriving in Kyoto, they lost nearly a hundred people due to various accidents.

Ji Shao was riding a horse, looking at Xia Guo's mission with a bored face, not understanding why they were so delicate, "Hurry up, my second brother said, if you don't arrive within 20 days, you can go back directly, he won't accept you .”

She also walked this way, but she didn't think it was a big problem, and the soldiers who came from the frontier didn't think there was a problem, after all, they had come here all these years.

General Qiao, the general who came from the frontier, echoed, "That's right, these are not problems. If you are bitten by mosquitoes, just bear with it. Just pack lightly and go into battle. Don't bring so many things. This official road has only been repaired for 30 years. It’s not bad, but if you think about other places, there are so many that haven’t been repaired in 100 years.”

Xia Guo's team leader: "..."

Heh, if they dared to put down the carriage, the princess would dare to snatch the things away and say that she picked them up outside.

These days, they have already experienced it deeply.

Thinking of this, he continued to curse:

Dog Emperor! !Simply inhuman!

Seeing that he had only walked a quarter of the distance, Xia Guo's team leader's eyes went dark. It would be too much to rush through such a day in 20 days.

If he had known, he would not have come to Vietnam!His majestic King Xia, why did he have to come here to suffer on his own initiative!

But it's all here, he can't just back off now and just turn around and go back.

The September sun was scorching the ground, and he felt that when they arrived in the capital of Yue Kingdom, they might really shed a layer of skin.

The author has something to say:

The sorrows and joys of human beings are always incommunicable, let's light a wax for Xia Guo first
