This martial artist just wants to be an official

Chapter 517 Is it really Lord Ji? ? !

Ji Xuan's voice was still as gentle and elegant as it had been long ago.

But no one in the entire hall dared to respond to him.

It was not until this time that all the civil and military officials in the court reacted.

The merit of leading troops at the border?

Commander Pei Yinlang?
What the Duke of Beiguo said just now...is indeed right!
He is Ji Xuan!!

"Cough cough."

A discordant cough was heard in the silent court, attracting everyone's attention.

Lu Yuanzhi stood up with a smile, came to Lin Fu, and said with a fake smile:

"I wonder if Lord Ji can enter the cabinet?"

The sound was not loud, but it sounded like thunder in the court.

let's play!
If Ji Xuan cannot enter the cabinet again, who else in the world is qualified to enter? ?

Everyone's mouth corners couldn't stop twitching.

There was only Lu Yuanzhi's voice in the hall.

"Ji Xuan...you...aren't you dead??!!"

Lin Fu looked at Ji Xuan as if he had seen a ghost, and he felt like he was in a dream.

His mind was like a mess and he could only ask questions mechanically.

"hehe."

When Ji Xuan heard this, he naturally knew that if he didn't have an explanation for his resurrection, the whole world would be shocked. He smiled faintly and said:
"I was dead, but I am alive again."

Seeing everyone's confused eyes, Ji Xuan put away the smile on his face, came to the front of the hall, bowed to the second prince and said:

"Your Majesty, I did die on the border battlefield, but fortunately, I received help from Duke Lu... Duke Beiguo, who took my body and went to the southern border to find natural treasures, and returned to the state teacher, so I was able to come back to life."

What he said was still a little vague.

But Lu Yuanzhi stood up and said:
"Lord Ji is a third-rank warrior who can be reborn with a drop of blood. Although he used his own essence to restrain the Demon King, which caused him to lose all his magical powers, fortunately, I found precious materials in the southern border, and I have the help of the state teacher... Although it is easy for me to say, the danger is unprecedented."

"Hi~"

After Lu Yuanzhi finished speaking, all the court officials finally understood.

Although they didn't know the magical power of a third-rank warrior, they could understand that Ji Xuan had faked his death and now had returned to the court...

The second prince's brain was also in a state of shutdown at this time.

He looked at the living Ji Xuan standing in front of him, and for a moment his mind was completely confused and he didn't know what to say.

I vaguely remember that when I was young, Ji Gong taught me a lesson...

He not only respected Ji Xuan, but also feared him.

But he also knew that countless eyes in the court were staring at him, so he couldn't show his fear at this moment. He laughed dryly, but his voice was a little hoarse:

"If that's the case, then it's truly a blessing for our Great Yong!!"

As soon as the emperor expressed his opinion, all the officials under him followed suit.

"Yes! It is a blessing for the world that Lord Ji can return to the court."

"Mr. Ji is truly a blessed man!"

"It is because of the blessing of Heaven that such a talented person can be brought back to life."

"........."

For a moment, the whole hall was filled with the sound of flattery.

But this has little to do with the second prince.

It was all caused by Ji Xuan’s former great power in the court.

They all knew that this man was called Ji Xuan. Now that he was back, if they didn't express their opinions or flatter him at this time, he would hold a grudge against them and they would probably suffer a great disaster.

When Ji Xuan heard the voices of the people around him, there was no strange expression on his face. He just continued to smile gently and looked at Lu Yuanzhi with soft eyes.

Seeing Ji Xuan's gaze, Lu Yuanzhi subconsciously wanted to avoid it.

This is a conditioned reflex that was developed long ago.

However, thinking that his relationship with Ji Gong was no longer the superior-subordinate relationship of the past, he grinned and smiled at Ji Gong.

When Ji Xuan saw Lu Yuanzhi's smile, the gentleness on his face became even more intense.

When he was at the border, he had already made up his mind to die.

But I never expected that... I would be resurrected by this kid?

In his heart, Lu Yuanzhi was no longer just a subordinate that he had high hopes for.

He's more like a...son.

"Your Majesty, may I ask if Lord Ji has the qualifications?"

Lu Yuanzhi also knew that it was time to get down to business, so he stood up with a stern look on his face and a powerful voice.

"Have!!"

The second prince was shocked. How could he dare to say no?
Ji Xuan, in terms of seniority, he is his elder.

Not to mention that he himself has extraordinary talent!

"Of course there is! If Lord Ji cannot enter the cabinet, then I, the emperor, will no longer be qualified to sit on the throne!"

So it only took a moment for the second prince to think of an ultimate solution.

He vaguely remembered that Ji Xuan seemed to be unwelcome among the literati before?

And now Hai Rui happens to be the leader among the literati?
If Ji Xuan is allowed to join the cabinet, he will definitely be able to contain Hai Rui! !
Thinking of this, he no longer hesitated and shouted directly:

"Lord Ji! I beg you to join the cabinet and share state affairs with Hai Rui from now on? Are you willing???"

As he said this, he quickly got down from the dragon throne, came to Ji Xuan like a servant, and grabbed Ji Xuan's arm with a touching look on his face:
"I would be willing to die if I heard that Lord Ji was resurrected!!!"

I was so excited that I leaned back and almost fell to the ground before I could react.

"Your Majesty is serious."

When Ji Xuan heard what the Second Prince said, he chuckled, reached out his hand to steady the Second Prince and said:
"Don't panic, Your Majesty. I will support you."

A pun.

After hearing this, the second prince felt as if he had been force-fed honey.

I just felt my ears were refreshed.

"Hahahahaha!!!"

The second prince laughed heartily in front of everyone.

In the court, only Lin Fu and his uncle had black faces.

Lin Fu was thinking that his entry into the cabinet was a foregone conclusion, but who could have known that Ji Xuan would suddenly appear? ?

With this person around, I will never be able to enter the cabinet in my lifetime!
Moreover, Ji Xuan would definitely be the pillar of support in the court. With him around, His Majesty would definitely look for him whenever there was something going on. In the future, he might be further and further away from the power center of Dayong...

When he thought of this, he felt as if his heart was being cut by a knife.

As for my uncle.

He had originally disagreed with Ji Xuan's political views, and thought that after Ji Xuan's death, he would be able to become the leader of the entire literati community.

Things turned out just as he had imagined.

Coupled with the power in his nephew's hands, he is second to none in Dayong.

but……

No one could have expected that Ji Xuan was alive and well today, not only standing in front of him, but also standing in front of the second prince.

What is even more speechless is that this Ji Xuan was resurrected by his dearest nephew???

So now my uncle’s face is extremely dark.

But he also knew that he was the one who could least speak at this time.

Ji Xuan has more experience than him.

To put it bluntly, even if Ji Xuan said he wanted to be the cabinet elder, he would have to give it up...

To know……

There was a flash of depression in my uncle's eyes as he looked at the officials behind him.

This was his team. Many of them were recruited by himself through connections in other provinces. They were all Ji Xuan's former subordinates.

Now, their excited expressions as they looked at Ji Xuan were all seen by their uncle.

"Whoo~"

The uncle took a deep breath and fixed his gaze on Lu Yuanzhi.

He didn't quite understand what the purpose of his nephew's move was.

"Well, then I hereby announce that starting from tomorrow, Hai Rui Danran will be the chief minister of the cabinet, and Lord Ji will assist him!"

The second prince simply waved his hand and settled the matter.

After hearing his words, Lu Yuanzhi bowed deeply and said loudly:
"Your Majesty is wise!!"

With Lu Yuanzhi taking the lead, the rest of the people, no matter how unwilling they were, knew that there was nothing they could do now.

Ever since Ji Xuan entered the hall, as long as he didn't say that he wanted the world, no matter what happened today, it would not be surprising.

……

"Ji Xuan."

Outside the palace gate, Lu Yuanzhi was reminiscing about the past with Ji Gong.

A discordant voice sounded.

Hearing this voice, a bitter smile appeared on Lu Yuanzhi's lips.

Because this voice is the voice of my uncle.

"Uncle..."

Lu Yuanzhi gave a dry laugh and turned around, only to see his uncle's gloomy gaze.

But at this time, my uncle was not looking at him, but at Ji Xuan in front of him.

Ji Xuan raised his eyebrows, looked at his uncle and smiled gently:

"Master Hai."

"Humph!"

My uncle snorted coldly and said expressionlessly:
"Although I don't know why you came to the court this time, I warn you that in the future, you should not make trouble for me in the cabinet."

Ji Xuan honestly didn't care at all about his uncle's half-threatening words, and didn't even take them to heart. He shook his head lightly and smiled:

"I never thought of causing trouble for you, either before or in the future."

"Uh……"

My uncle's face was visibly stunned for a moment.

He never expected that Ji Xuan’s answer would be so...weak?
"Uncle, what are you thinking? I found Mr. Ji to help you!!"

Lu Yuanzhi was a little unhappy. He frowned and looked at his uncle and said:
"It was only after my persuasion that Lord Ji finally agreed to come to the palace. Originally, Lord Ji wanted to retire completely."

what?
After hearing Lu Yuanzhi's words, my uncle's face became completely dull. Although he didn't say much, the amount of information contained in it was ridiculously large.

Ji Xuan is here to help me???
How can it be? ?
When did Ji Zei become so kind?
Seeing his uncle's dull expression, Lu Yuanzhi understood what he was thinking. He sighed and said:

"Uncle, the present is different from the past. The situation will change dramatically in the future. Lord Ji is no longer the Lord Ji of the past. He is..."

Lu Yuanzhi looked at Ji Gong's kind eyes and said seriously:

"He is Lord Ji who has completed his mission. From now on, he...will only live for himself."

Lu Yuanzhi's voice drifted with the wind.

It wasn't just my uncle who heard it.

Ji Xuan also heard it. His gentle face was slightly startled, and then turned into the soft sunlight of spring breeze in March. He smiled warmly. He stretched out his hand and gently patted Lu Yuanzhi on the shoulder:
"Yixing, help me go back. I want to go to the government office to have a look."

"Yes."

A look of respect appeared on Lu Yuanzhi's face. He bowed slightly and helped Ji Xuan walk towards the carriage.

Looking at the backs of the old and the young.

For the first time, my uncle's eyes showed a confused look, and he kept muttering two words:
"mission??"

He had never heard what mission Ji Xuan was carrying.

……

"The Duke is back!!"

As Lu Yuanzhi's carriage slowly drove into Pei Yinlang's yamen, voices of greeting were heard inside the yamen.

At this time, Yun Pei, who basically has no official business, has to come out to greet them.

There are only three Yunpei among the Peiyinlang nowadays.

They are Gengzhi, Yingxian, and Ji Gong's godson named Chi Jiao.

Three Yun Peis stood in the middle of the field, each followed by their own subordinates.

Seeing Lu Yuanzhi's carriage slowly approaching, they all clasped their fists to greet him.

"The Duke is back."

Ying Xian respectfully stepped forward, took the whip from the coachman, and helped Lu Yuanzhi get off the carriage.

"Don't worry."

Seeing Ying Xian following behind him, Lu Yuanzhi pointed at the carriage with a smile:

"There's another person."

Ying Xian understood instantly.

There must be another leader in the carriage, otherwise the Duke would not have let himself go forward to support him.

But in the entire Dayong, the only people with more noble status than Lu Yuanzhi are... Lord Hai and Your Majesty. Who could be sitting in this carriage?

Ying Xian frowned, but the respect on his face did not diminish in the slightest.

Just as he was guessing, a person slowly came out of the carriage. Seeing this unfamiliar face, Ying Xian was stunned for a moment.

He had never seen this old man before, but he was quick to help him get down from the carriage.

Who is this person? ?
Looking at the old man, Ying Xian's mind was full of doubts.

He really couldn't see any clues from the old man.

But when he turned around and looked at the crowd, he found that his two former colleagues were now staring at him in a daze.

What happened to them??

Ying Xian looked at the dazed faces of Gengzhi and Chi Jiao, and a look of doubt emerged in his heart. He turned his gaze to Lu Yuanzhi.

At this time, Lu Gongzheng was looking at Gengzhi and Chi Jiao with a smile.

Not to mention the two of them, even the entire group of Feng Peis following behind them were looking at him in shock, their expressions were as if... they had seen a ghost.

Ying Xian also knew that this expression was definitely not because of him, so the result came out, naturally it was because of the old man next to him.

Who is this old man???

Ying Xian stared blankly at the old man with a gentle smile on his face.

Until he heard a desolate and somewhat unbelievable roar:

"Ji... Lord Ji?!!!"

The owner of the voice was Gengzhi among the crowd.

Lord Ji?

Ying Xian was stunned for a moment, and then his face exploded. He mechanically turned to look at the ordinary old man next to him.

Ji Xuan??? !!

In an instant, a huge wave rose in Ying Xian's heart.

He is that Ji Gong???
Isn’t he dead???

Gengzhi and Chi Jiao stared at Lu Yuanzhi intently.

Looking at the two people's nervous and expectant expressions, Lu Yuanzhi didn't say much, just nodded with a smile.
