After becoming the king of the subjugated country

The weather in September is still hot, and the sun is roasting the earth. Even at dusk, there are many ice basins around the palace, but they can't dispel the heat.

Probably the drought in the novel is about to come, there has been no rain in the capital for a whole month, Ji Chen secretly wrote down this matter, intending to find a chance to mention it in the court.

The brilliant red clouds gradually sank, and the last rays of the setting sun spread in the air. Ji Chen was lying on the recliner, fanning himself slowly, which was extremely leisurely.

In his free time, he still didn’t forget to read to the pigeon. By the way, he put a plate of snacks not far away, and looked at the pigeon with a smile when he approached, “It’s just for you to see, not for you to eat.”

The pigeon turned its head, occasionally sneaking a glance at Ji Chen, then turned back when Ji Chen found out, unconsciously taking two steps closer to the dim sum.

Ji Chen raised his eyebrows, watched the pigeon trying to conceal his purpose, grabbed it just before it was about to succeed, and poked its belly, "Look at how fat you are."

Naturally, the pigeon didn't feel it, but instead rubbed against Ji Chen's palm, trying to act coquettishly.

"The weather is good today." Bai Qi walked over and said to Ji Chen.

Ji Chen unconsciously raised his head, blinked, and looked at him carefully.

The weather has been pretty good lately.

This sentence was the first reaction in Ji Chen's mind.

Immediately, he quickly realized that Bai Qi was just looking for something to say. He was a little nervous, but there were stars in his eyes, and he couldn't hide his excitement.

Letting go of the pigeon, Ji Chen sat up from the reclining chair, propped his chin, and said with a smile: "When you come back, you can almost eat. You should go wash up first."

Taking advantage of Ji Chen's unpreparedness, the pigeon pecked off a big mouthful of snacks and flew away with its wings flapping.

Bai Qi obediently agreed.

Before going out, he helped Ji Chen tidy up the desk and placed a stack of memorials on the desk.

Bai Qi tried not to look at the memorial, but pretended to be calm and said: "These are things that I will be busy with recently, please remember to approve them when you are free."

When Bai Qi walked out, Ji Chen got up, walked directly towards the desk, opened the stack of memorials just now, and his eyes were attracted by the roster at the bottom.

"The roster of showgirls?" Ji Chen glanced at it and felt a headache.

The efficiency of Shangshu from the Ministry of Rites was high this time, and it was done in about ten days, but why did you send this stuff?

Then Bai Qi's reaction?Did he know about the roster and get angry?

Various thoughts arose in Ji Chen's mind. He glanced outside the door, only to see that the outside of the palace was empty, and the eunuchs and maids on duty were also far away, so he quietly opened the roster.

Flipping through it casually, there were more than ten pages of paper, and the last page was stamped, proving that the Minister of Rites had personally reviewed the list.

Ji Chen smiled, saw it from the beginning again, glanced casually, and his eyes were frozen unconsciously.

In the first column of the first page, there are familiar names written on it, and there are also familiar flowing handwriting on the notes at the back.

【...I admire His Majesty very much, and I would like to accompany him, follow me around, and have no regrets in my life】

Ji Chen had no time to look at the list at the back, his eyes were firmly attracted by this person's name.

Ji Chen rubbed the paper lightly with his fingertips, the ink on the tip of the writing brush on the side dried up, Ji Chen picked it up again, and wrote a line of writing below.

The pigeons had enough to eat and drink, and flew back at this time.

Picking up the pigeons, Ji Chen lay down on the recliner again, holding the pigeons in one hand and flipping through the roster with the other.

Ji Chen wanted to read it slowly, at least to see which ministers in the court were the most active and proactive, and try to guess their respective thoughts.

Just flipping through the pages, his mind returned to the first name on the first page. He couldn't help chuckling, and smoothed the dove's fluffy and soft feathers, saying, "He's so cute."

The pigeon tilted its head and rubbed against Ji Chen's palm, thinking that Ji Chen was praising it, and suddenly the whole pigeon swelled up, almost overflowing with pride.

Ji Chen turned to the last official seal, and he had a much better impression of the Minister of Rites. He is a rare and transparent person. Since he boldly asked Bai Qi to write his name, his reward is naturally indispensable.

Bai Qi had just taken a bath, and he never liked to make people talk, so he walked over lightly, and before he got close, he heard Ji Chen gently say "he's so cute".

So cute?

Who is cute?

Bai Qi looked at the pigeon in Ji Chen's arms, and gradually became expressionless, thinking that he had found this "cute".

He is rarely so close to Ji Chen!

The pigeon turned its head vigilantly and glanced outside, "Googoo?"

Seeing no one, it turned its head back and continued to act like a baby to Ji Chen.

Bai Qi hesitated for a moment. He quickly hid behind a big tree just now, using the tree to block his shadow.He looked at the draft roster in Ji Chen's hand through the window, and saw that the spine of the roster was about half way up, which meant that Ji Chen had indeed read the contents.

Did he see it?

If he saw it, what did he think?

Bai Qi's heart was beating like thunder for a moment, and he wanted to approach and ask but was afraid of getting a negative answer.

Bai Qi had many doubts and some helplessness in his heart.

Most likely, it is inevitable for the emperor to be urged to marry, but seeing this scene, it would be false to say that there is no sadness at all.

He believed in the promise made by Ji Chen, maybe he would not accept people into the palace, maybe he just put on a show, but he was unwilling to give up anything Ji Chen had, even the most insignificant position in the harem.

But he didn't want to stop it either.

His emperor should make the decision he wants to make, and no one can shake his authority.

The dusk gradually melted away, and only the last afterglow of the red clouds in the sky remained, but a piece of fiery red covered the earth.

Ji Chen lay on the recliner, looking at the blue sky outside, he felt his mood gradually calm down.

Everything came just right, and it seemed that his feelings finally fell to the ground and found a suitable destination.

"Stories in the world should always have a beginning and an end. Since it begins, it is most appropriate to end without regrets." Ji Chen's fingers paused on the page, and did not move for a long time. There are more and more memorials, why don't I just set them up."

okay?

How can this be good? ?

Bai Qi put his hand on the tree, and he had already recalled in his mind those ministers who were full and had nothing to do to urge him to stand up, and decided to wait a few days before he went to "chat" with them one by one.

Bai Qi took a deep breath, the thought of going out dissipated again, and the thoughts in his mind were in a mess.

He pulled off a small branch and tore off the leaves one by one.

Or Ji Chen was just talking, if there was a rival in love, he would still occupy the position of queen...

The pigeon fluttered its wings, patted Ji Chen's hand, and let out a proud cry.

"Don't worry, I won't forget you," Ji Chen held the pigeon and looked far away, "We walked out of the cold palace together, and we have shared joys and sorrows for a long time, and have experienced many ups and downs. Among so many people, our feelings Always the best."

Ji Chen combed it lightly, and said to it warmly: "My heir is none other than you!"

"Coo coo coo!" The pigeon spread its wings excitedly, flew around Ji Chen, and then suddenly jumped into his arms, getting very close to him.

Click!

Bai Qi accidentally used force and broke the branch.

Bai Qi's complicated thoughts these days were finally ignited. He looked at the pigeon and stared at it firmly.

good, very good, excellent.

Before entering the door, he was still thinking about what to have for dinner today, but now he already knows.

When the pigeon was singled out, it was caught and boiled.

After hastily flipping through the roster, Ji Chen casually put the roster on the desk, and Bai Qi came back before he stood there for a long time.

He smiled slightly at Ji Chen, with gentle eyebrows and eyes, as if he had just bathed for a long time, and his clothes were clean, "I've been waiting for a long time."

"Just right," Ji Chen rang the bell, signaling for someone to come in and pass the meal.

Bai Qi glanced at the pigeon inadvertently, and asked, "Has it eaten?"

"I ate a few pieces of dim sum before." Ji Chen held the pigeon affectionately, "It's getting heavier and heavier."

Bai Qi said kindly: "Then why don't you let it go out for a while, since it's too fat, then don't eat it at all."

The pigeon was pecking at its own feathers. Hearing this, it turned its head and looked at Ji Chen blankly, "... Coo? Coo coo!"

However, its opinion is not important, Ji Chen was quickly persuaded, he agreed to Bai Qi's plan, and deliberately told the people around not to feed the pigeons casually.

In the Qin Mansion which is closest to the imperial palace.

Jiang Zilin, Minister of the Ministry of Rites, waited for Prime Minister Qin with resentment on his face.

Prime Minister Qin buried his head in drinking tea and had already finished a whole pot.

Seeing that Prime Minister Qin refused to explain a word, Jiang Zilin jumped up against the table, and just about to say something, he saw a servant strode in, cupped his hands at him, and said loudly: "My lord, Your Majesty sent someone to send you A wave of rewards, saying that you have contributed to the talent show and selected beauties properly, many people have sent you posts, and want to congratulate you!"

The servant didn't know the twists and turns inside. He was simply delighted by this matter, and the smile on his face couldn't be concealed at all.

"Pfft!" Prime Minister Qin couldn't hold it back, he spewed out a mouthful of tea, and even choked himself, coughing non-stop.

Jiang Zilin stood up tremblingly, pointed at himself with his right hand, and asked in disbelief, "Your Majesty gave me a reward?!"

The servant chuckled, thinking that he was too happy, "Yes, the eunuch in the palace carried it out personally, and everyone along the way saw it."

Jiang Zilin was silent for a moment. He recalled the roster of beautiful girls he had written. He could only say that there were no mistakes. Not really, and His Majesty has never rewarded others much in the past.

The source of this reward...

He shuddered suddenly.

Qin Cheng looked at him sympathetically, "Go back and get ready."

When this list is announced, the Minister of Rites must also be prepared to be scolded to heaven.

Perhaps the emperor's heart is there, but the reputation probably has to be sacrificed.

Jiang Zilin said quietly: "Prime Minister, don't be too happy too early. As the head of all the officials, the Prime Minister has thought about how to persuade His Majesty when the time comes? If you don't persuade him, the officials will not let the Prime Minister go easily."

Prime Minister Qin: "..."

Every time he encountered such a difficult situation, he would miss his son Qin Sheng very much.

Hurry up and take over the position of the prime minister, the old man can't stand such a storm, and plans to beg for bones to support his retirement.

Qin Sheng, who had been missed countless times by Prime Minister Qin, was on his way back to Beijing. He sneezed several times and touched his nose, "Who is thinking about me?"

The Baiyi people who were with him stopped talking one after another. These days, they have realized how difficult this person is, and they know that shutting up is the best choice.

However, after having a face-to-face meeting with them, Xia Ye had no choice but to cooperate with two groups of envoys from the Kingdom of Xia who had a rest overnight in the ruined temple. Xia Ye didn't realize how delicate the atmosphere was. Scolding you?"

Speaking of this, Xia Ye sneered, and couldn't help provoking a few words, "He paid you out and didn't let you meet Xia's envoys, which shows that your good majesty has been guarding against you, and there is no He valued you and didn't give you a chance to make meritorious deeds, and you still want to work hard for him?"

Qin Sheng looked up, a little puzzled, and asked sincerely: "Why should I go to greet you?"

One sentence was wrong, and I don't know which nerve of Xia Ye's it was.

It seems that the master is out of tune.

The bonfire was burning, and in the silent night, the boundaries between the two groups of people were clearly defined. Some people in the core had a rest in the temple for one night, and some people with low status could only camp in other places.

Although Xia Ye suffered a loss in Ji Chen's hands in the end, he still held back his anger. When he was too close to the capital at the beginning, he didn't dare to reveal it too clearly. Now that he is far away from the capital, after Ji Shao left, Xia Ye's The scruples are also much less.

Qin Sheng invited a person from the Xia Kingdom to come over and asked about the situation. He was a little curious, "Why do you only have these people? It stands to reason that there shouldn't be a large number of envoys when the prince goes on an envoy?"

Xia Guo's envoys looked stiff, "...Because our country pays attention to the court, there are not many envoys here." It can't be said that there are only so few people left, right?

The temple is not big, and Qin Sheng didn't lower his voice. Xia Ye has good hearing and heard Qin Sheng's words.

Xia Ye held his breath, and said loudly: "Come to your country of Yue, these people are enough."

Seeing that Xia Ye was still not convinced, Qin Sheng could only sigh, as if lamenting his stubbornness, "Sure enough, this is the temple little demon with great wind, Chi Qian Wang Ba Duo."
