Chapter 148 The Revenge of Killing My Father

"The Tiger Guards were merged into the Southwest Army and renamed the Southwest Camp."

"Appoint Cheng Hongchang and Qin Anjiang as deputy commanders of the Northwest Camp, and Jin Shaoyi and Yin Gang as deputy commanders of the Southwest Camp."

"The four of you will temporarily take over as head coach and lead the team as one."

After Eunuch Gao finished reading, there was a rustling sound in the court.

Cheng Hongchang and Qin Anjiang were both Ji Zhenming's former subordinates, and are now in the Northwest Camp.

The remaining two people were in the capital, kneeling down to receive the order.

"Your Majesty, Yin Gang accepts your order!"

"Your Majesty, Jin Shaoyi accepts the order!"

The two men said in unison, "We will not fall short of the Holy Spirit's grace and will recover the lost territory!"

Many ministers looked vaguely at Ji Yunzhang who was standing at the front of the queue.

The Southwest Army and the Northwest Camp were once the Ji family's armies. Now the Southwest Army has been merged and separated.

The Northwest Camp was the base camp of the Ji family army. Although no chief commander was appointed, two deputy commanders were appointed to lead the army.

Marquis Ji is gone, and the era of power belonging to the Ji family is gone too.

Even if Ji Yunzhang is a prince now, it is just an empty title without any real power.

The flower stand looks nice.

Without Marquis Ji, the Ji family no longer has any glory.

Ji Yunzhang, who was standing in the queue, turned a deaf ear to it.

It seemed as if all this had nothing to do with him.

Kang Jintang, who was standing at the back, seemed to be lost in thought. He thought of Xie Shuning's crazy words in the past.

Marquis Ji died in battle, the Ji family fell, and the Kang family became prime minister, bringing honor to the family.

He didn't take her words seriously at that time.

Marquis Ji holds military power, and Ji Yunzhang is the chief of the Palace Guards, and is highly regarded by Your Majesty.

But now, Marquis Ji has died in the battle, and Ji Yunzhang has been in a state of despair since returning from the border. He has not been on duty for more than half a month, and now the deputy envoy is temporarily taking over his position.

If this continues, the Ji family will indeed be close to collapse.

As for the rest...

Prime Minister of the Kang family, bringing honor to the family.

Kang Jintang couldn't help but feel excited. If this could come true...

He looked at the two prime ministers in front of him, Prime Minister Chen and Prime Minister Zhuang, both of whom were nearly sixty years old. They both must need to build up their own power.

I will be able to take their place in the future.

Prime Minister Chen has always been cautious and prudent. It is said that he and Prime Minister Qin entered the cabinet almost at the same time. The positions around him have been replaced one after another, but he is the only one who remains standing.

Prime Minister Zhuang once succeeded Prime Minister Qin, but after only three to five years, he was disliked by the ancient sage and was demoted again and again, and finally went to the Censorate.

He was not brought up again until the new emperor ascended the throne.

Prime Minister Zhuang was a straight-laced man, and even with the gentle and modest new emperor, they sometimes quarreled.

If I follow him and get demoted by His Majesty again, I will only be implicated.

But following Prime Minister Chen, how could he abdicate so easily if he was so cautious?
This really made him feel troubled.

"Retreat!"

Kang Jintang came back to his senses with a loud shout. He raised his eyes and saw Chen Xiang turning around slowly and walking forward.

Ji Yunzhang held the imperial sceptre in both hands without changing his posture, and turned around and left the hall without saying a word.

Jin Shaoyi chased out with the imperial edict.

"Ji Saner!"

He looked at Ji Yunzhang, who no longer looked his former self, and could only sigh inwardly.

"Your Kung Fu is better than mine, and I also know your ambitions and..."

Ji Yunzhang didn't wait for him to finish, he quickened his pace and got into the carriage. Jin Shaoyi looked at the carriage that was slowly moving away and pursed his lips.

He looked up at the cloudless sky, blinked, and forced back the tears in his eyes.

When Ji Yunzhang returned home, Zhao Yanlin was pacing at the door with something in her hand, as if waiting for someone.

As soon as she saw the carriage, she immediately smiled and greeted it, "Third Brother Ji, this is..."

She didn't finish her words, but Ji Yunzhang walked straight past her as if he didn't see her.

Zhao Yanlin stood at the door with her mouth open like a clown.

After a while, she bit her lower lip. She glanced at the men who seemed to be trying to hold back their laughter. She glared at the two men and stomped her feet in anger as she went back to her aunt's yard.

As soon as she saw Zhao, she started crying. No matter how cold Ji Yunzhang was to her in the past, at least he had a mouth and could speak.

It's nothing like it is now, like a piece of wood, not speaking, not laughing, not looking, not responding.

She was afraid that if she fell in front of him, he would just treat her as air.

Zhao looked at her tearful face and snorted coldly, "You can't stand it?"

"Do you think it's so easy to be a confidant? Otherwise, Ji Yunzhang's backyard would have been crowded with people, and it would not be your turn to show your courtesy."

Zhao Yanlin felt a little aggrieved, "When will this end?"

Zhao couldn't help but poke her head, "If you want to be like this, you should get married as soon as possible. Don't even bother to talk to Ji Yunzhang."

"How stupid! Don't you think that if you can pry open Ji Yunzhang, even a tiny gap, you will be different."

"If you survive until you are older, will Ji Yunzhang have the nerve to not give you a legitimate status?!"

Zhao Yanlin pursed her lips and said, "After enduring so long, I only have a concubine..."

Zhao said angrily, "What concubine? Concubine! Ji Yunzhang is now a prince."

"Show some self-esteem and stop crying here! It's annoying!"

Rong Peilan held Sui'an and fed her some minced meat porridge.

The food on the table has been heated up once.

Haitang picked up Sui'an who had eaten his fill and said, "Madam, you should eat by yourself. The prince has gone to the study."

Rong Peilan paused as she reached for the spoon and chuckled, "No problem, I'll take it to him."

She picked up some dishes that Ji Yunzhang liked, and Qingtan wanted to go forward to help serve them.

She held out her hand to stop him, "I'll go by myself."

The study door was half-open, and the only sound from inside was the rustling of pages turning.

If it were in the past, the Zhong family would have been overjoyed.

Now, she should just want him to be happy.

Rong Peilan pushed the door open with her elbow, and put on a lighter expression, "Husband, eat some food. Qingtan made your favorite food today."

Ji Yunzhang didn't even raise his head, as if his mind was completely focused on the book.

Rong Peilan glanced at the cover of the book and saw that it was a military book.

Suddenly, her heart ached.

Yes, how can I not care about the revenge for my father's murder, and how can I forget it?

It was just that he had already given her the greatest respect, so he didn't say anything and shouldn't.

Rong Peilan's hands trembled slightly, and there were crisp collision sounds between the bowls and dishes.

This time, Ji Yunzhang finally looked up, but she didn't see the trace of struggle and pain that flashed in his eyes when he looked at her.

Rong Peilan put the plate on the small table, not daring to raise her head. She tried to make her voice sound normal.

"The food is still warm, don't let it get cold. I'm going to go see Qi'an, Sui'an."

The last word of her words trembled.

She was afraid that he would see her in such a mess, so she put down her things and hurried out.
