The first thing Zhou Jie saw was not the emperor, but Ji Ce.The prime minister was sitting by the window, reading the memorial. He habitually raised his left hand and leaned towards the sun. He didn't look up when he heard the footsteps.

"The next official pays homage to the prime minister." Zhou Jie saluted.

Ji Ce raised his head and said, "Sit down."

Zhou Jie quietly waited for the emperor's arrival. During this time when he was so bored that he could only look up at the flying dust in the sun, Zhou Jie's gaze slowly turned to Ji Ce.Among all the people, Ji Ce has changed the most.When Zhou Jie met Ji Ce for the first time, he felt that he was somewhere between being born and entering the world. Ji Ce's character is very round, easy-going and not stubborn, and sometimes he is careless.Zhou Jie once thought that Ji Ce would retire to the mountains and forests after the emperor ascended the throne, or roam the mountains and rivers for a lifetime.

Unexpectedly, when Chi Heng made him prime minister, Ji Ce became more and more involved in the world.

Now, he has completely become the Prime Minister of a country, even if everyone retreats to Ji Ce, he cannot retreat.Time can polish a person's character from sharp-edged to smooth, and it can also make a casual person extremely tough.In the past, Ji Ce was like a military adviser, always strategizing behind the scenes, but now, he is a powerful minister in charge of the world, and he rarely comes and goes as he did when he was a military adviser.Only his appearance when reading a book, as always.

Zhou Jie secretly sighed.

Ji Ce seemed to be aware of his gaze, and rolled his eyes: "Zhou Jie, those old ministers in the previous court can't make any troubles, so they will report to them how to deal with it, especially Tao Xiao, if he can persuade, he will persuade him, and if he can't, he will follow suit." Go to the remote states of the Western Regions and let him live."

Is this what the emperor meant?

"The emperor once put a few young talents by your side, such as Mei Yuanbai, Wu Chen and others. How about these people? A few days ago, didn't I order you to secretly investigate the forces behind the emperor's adopted sons? No need to investigate. " Ji Ce put down his hands, and rarely frowned, "Zhou Jie, these are arranged by the emperor, do you feel something is wrong?"

Sure enough, it was the meaning of the emperor.

Zhou Jie said cautiously: "Ji Xiang, with regard to the court these few days and His Majesty's arrangement, I feel that the emperor's layout is like playing chess." Set it up for later.

Ji Ce nodded.

Zhou Jie also said: "Since coming to court, the emperor's arrangements have been very urgent. It seems that he wanted to arrange everything in order overnight. To be honest, everyone is saying that the emperor wants to retreat to the mountains and forests and abdicate the throne. I don't know if Ji Xiang knows it. ?”

Ji Ce smiled faintly: "I stand at thirty, does the emperor need to be in such a hurry?"

Zhou Jie thought that Ji Ce was the emperor's bedside person, so indifferent, it must be just a rumor.Furthermore, the emperor has been absent for a long time, and it is inevitable that he will make a drastic decision as soon as he returns, so he will settle down after thinking about it.If the emperor is the rudder that fights against the wind and waves, Ji Ce is the needle that fixes the wind. With him, all major events are in the palm of your hand.

Before we could chat in detail, I only heard the sound of vigorous footsteps approaching from far to near. Zhou Jie waited in awe, and saw Chi Heng striding in. He was dressed in a bright yellow dragon robe, and he folded several peonies in his hand, like bright yellow clouds. The big flowers are clustered, and the brocade is prosperous.

Zhou Jie hurriedly saluted, Chi Heng waved his hand, and put the peony in a wide-mouthed vase.

The house is full of bright flowers.

They were placed together on a vase, and they were really gorgeous. Ji Ce was sitting in front of the peony flowers, and the emperor sat very casually on the wicker chair next to Ji Ce.Ji Ce put down the book, looked at the emperor, looked around, and the corner of his mouth raised a more curved arc.Hua is close, Ji Ce is far away, Huarong and that faint smile complement each other, and for a moment, Zhou Jie feels that Ji Ce's indifferent face suddenly shines.

Zhou Jie hastily averted his eyes and presented the memorial.

After reading the memorial, Chi Heng said brightly, "Fuju Ji, Zhou Jie is really getting more and more interesting to me. In the past two years, the innovation has been tightly grasped, and the strings have been tightened up and down. It's time to relax. .”

Zhou Jie said: "Your Majesty's praise, Ji Xiang is a good guide."

Chi Heng also praised Ji Ce, but Ji Ce just laughed.

Zhou Jie thought that the emperor couldn't just be boasting about himself. Sure enough, after Chi Heng finished describing the arrangements of the Ministry of Justice, he said, "Zhou Aiqing, the four princes have all stayed in your Ministry of Justice. What do you think of these people?"

Prince?What does emperor mean?

Zhou Jie thought for a while, and although these four people had not been under his command for a short time, they were still regarded as princes, and he did not treat them like ordinary subordinates.In terms of personality, Ruan Yue is well-behaved, Qin Yiwang is somewhat courageous, Mei Yu is indecisive, and Ziyan is the most favored by the emperor, but he is reckless—but they are all fifteen or sixteen-year-old boys, well-behaved Maybe it will be a late bloomer, and the courageous ones may be able to get rid of the old mistakes. The indecisiveness may be due to calmness and thoughtfulness. As for recklessness, who did not vigorously do reckless and stupid things when they were young?Behind these several princes are all heroes who have made great contributions, and their influence is not small. Speaking of it, Zhou Jie and Mei Yu's father Mei Fu have the deepest friendship.After thinking about it again and again, Zhou Jie still told the truth.

Chi Heng nodded: "Aiqing's concern is exactly what I am worried about. She is not close to the Prince and the others."

Establish a prince?

Zhou Jie was taken aback, and Chi Heng showed distressed expression: "Zhou Aiqing has read the past and present, do you know if there is a precedent for someone other than the prince?"

Someone other than the prince?Zhou Jie suddenly thought of Zhong Xu!

Zhong Xu, it is exactly this age.

Zhong Xu is as young as jade in the rough, and Zhong Xu is a rare general. Zhong Xu commanded thousands of troops on the battlefield, and his commanding ability is beyond doubt, definitely many times stronger than other princes. When everyone is on good terms, you will never be alone. If you have the emperor as your backing, who would dare to say no?

Although his personality tends to be introverted, it doesn't matter.

The emperor is a very affectionate person, and it is inevitable to be biased. Instead of setting up other princes, why not set up the person he once loved?The former childhood sweetheart is exactly the age of Zhong Xu now, who dares to say that the emperor will not be in love with the scene, and love in life?

The first thing Zhou Jie saw was not the emperor, but Ji Ce.The prime minister was sitting by the window, reading the memorial. He habitually raised his left hand and leaned towards the sun. He didn't look up when he heard the footsteps.
