Great Zhou Tianzi

All the way was unimpeded, Ji Jie arrived outside Jicheng with [-] well-equipped soldiers. He ordered the troops to station on the spot, and no one was allowed to enter the city to harass the people. Then he led the three brothers to the city gate.

Ji Lin had been waiting outside the city gate for a long time, and when she saw Ji Jie, she immediately patted her horse up to meet him, and threw herself into his arms without any hesitation about the eyes of the soldiers guarding the gate.

"Hehe, what's the situation in the city now?" Ji Jie asked, and reached out to pat Ji Lin's shoulder.

"The situation is quite optimistic!" Ji Jie replied: "After all, the army is in my hands. After my brother died, I immediately took over the city guard. The residents in the city are under control, and only a few small riots occurred. , were successfully suppressed, and there were no large-scale looting incidents."

"That's good!" Ji Jie said with a smile: "Fortunately, you were in the city when your brother died, otherwise there would be a big mess! By the way, isn't your brother always in good health? died?"

Regarding this matter, Ji Lin has never figured it out. She was resting in the mansion at the time, and the palace sent someone to send a message in a hurry, saying that King Yan was dying, so she hurried to the palace and only told her brother who was dying. After a word or two, the latter dies.

"Sudden death?" The words came out of Ji Jie's mouth, and he couldn't help thinking of the sudden death of King Qin Zhuang.

"That's what the imperial doctors said!" Ji Lin frowned slightly, and continued: "From the situation at the time, my brother showed no signs of being poisoned, but I always felt that this incident was a bit strange. It was fine in the morning, and the whole He looked very energetic, and he died suddenly in the afternoon! I heard that King Qin Zhuang also died suddenly, what a troubled time!"

Ji Jie asked Ji Lin to make a complete record of what happened on the day of King Yan's death. Everyone who had contact with King Yan that day had to record their statements. If possible, they also made a summary of the situation in the previous few days.

His only purpose in doing this is to ask Zhao Qian to help analyze and see whether King Yan died suddenly or was murdered.

The State of Yan is different from the State of Qin. Although King Zhuang of Qin died strangely, a few hours before his death, the crown prince had just been registered, so the day after his death, Ying Zheng ascended the throne as the crown prince.State of Yan is different, there is no crown prince, and the King of Yan did not expressly express the establishment of a crown prince when he was alive, so who will come to the throne of Jicheng will become a troublesome matter.

In the hundreds of years from the Spring and Autumn Period to the Warring States Period, not only sons inherited the throne of Lao Tzu, but younger brothers, older brothers and even uncles and nephews succeeded each other, which was very common.

So even if Ji Yong sat on the throne, it is not surprising at all.

"What do you think I should do?" Ji Lin asked.

Ji Jie smiled mysteriously and said, "Before I answer you, you need to make a choice!"

"What choice?" Ji Lin looked at Ji Jie without blinking her big eyes.

"Do you want the Yan Kingdom to continue to prosper, or to repeat the same mistakes and gradually decline!"

Without even thinking about it, Ji Lin said, "Of course it will be stronger!"

"That's good!" Ji Jie paused, and said something that surprised Ji Lin: "This King Yan, you do it!"

"What?" Ji Lin thought she had heard wrong, and immediately asked for confirmation.

"You come to be King of Yan!" Ji Jie repeated, and then said: "Whether Ji Yong or your sister-in-law who only knows to take advantage, they are not worthy of ruling the country! With their personalities, if they control the lifeblood of Yan, I think it will be very difficult for the Great Zhou to continue to form an alliance, without the protection of the Great Zhou, the Kingdom of Yan will soon be eaten by the Kingdom of Zhao!"

Ji Lin shook her head like a rattle and said, "No, absolutely not, there is no reason for a woman to be in power!"

"Why not!" Ji Jie asked back: "If your four-year-old nephew becomes King Yan, who will be in power?"

"My sister-in-law!" Ji Lin said without thinking.

"That's right!" Ji Jie said with a smile: "Since a woman can control a country from behind the scenes, why can't she stand in front of the stage?"

Ji Lin fell into deep thought, and Ji Jie knew that it was enough to talk to such a degree today, and she will find an opportunity to enlighten her later, I believe she will understand the reason.

As soon as Ji Jie arrived at Ji Lin's mansion, someone begged to see him under the banner of Ji Yong.

"No!" Ji Jie refused very simply.

Although Ji Yong is a playboy, he knows how to speculate. He knows that if he wants to ascend the throne, he must get Ji Lin's support. Before Ji Lin showed an ambiguous attitude, he just didn't know where to start. , Ji Jie's arrival made him ecstatic, Ji Lin obeyed Ji Jie's words, as long as he could get Ji Jie's approval, Ji Lin would stand by his side.

"What, he didn't see you?" Ji Yong slumped on the chair, wondering if Ji Jie wanted to support his nephew's ascension to the throne?

"Your Highness, you have sent someone to see Ji Jie empty-handed, of course he won't!" The attendant suggested, "If you want me to tell you, next time you go in person, first ask someone to deliver the gift list, and you will surely be able to do so." See you Zhao Wenjun!"

"That's right, why did I forget about it? I just remembered that he was my brother-in-law. I thought my family didn't need to be so clichéd. I was negligent!" Ji Yong patted his head and said, "Go and prepare immediately!" , I will go myself!"

Ji Yong was full of confidence, but when he saw the gift list sent by his attendant, he was immediately discouraged.

"Why are there only so few things?" Ji Yong blamed his subordinates for not being able to do things.

The attendant smiled wryly and said: "Your Highness, this is the best thing here! To be honest, I also feel shabby. Mr. Zhaowen is so rich that he might not care about it!"

Ji Yong threw down the gift list and muttered: "I knew he would come, I shouldn't have given gifts to the ministers before, and I can save a lot!"

The plan to buy Ji Jie with money had to be abandoned, but Ji Yong did not give up.

The news that Ji Jie came to Jicheng spread like wildfire, and the queen came to find out about Ji Jie's reality under the guise of visiting Ji Lin.

Ji Lin has always had a bad impression of her sister-in-law. If it wasn't for this, with her support, the four-year-old little prince would be able to ascend the throne the day after King Yan passed away.

"Sister-in-law is too polite, I should go to the palace to see you!" Ji Lin's words were full of thorns, implying that you just became a widow, and it's up to me as a younger sister to comfort you. You are fine, looking a little sad None of them, but you still came to visit me, what a pleasure!

After hearing this, the Empress Yan felt a little uneasy, but in order for her son to become the king, she said with a cheeky smile: "Your younger sister is polite. I heard that my brother-in-law is coming. Is it true? Your brother died before he died." I think highly of my brother-in-law, since he is here, I, the sister-in-law, must see him, right?"

"I'm afraid it's inconvenient!" Ji Lin put down the teacup gracefully, and said unhurriedly, "He's chatting with the second brother right now. The two of them are chatting very happily. The second brother specifically asked me not to be disturbed!"

Empress Yan's complexion suddenly became ugly, and her body began to tremble, wishing to crush the teacup in her hand into pieces.
