royal girl

Chapter 305 Please be the deputy

When Ji Qiyu came back at night, Huiyu asked about it.

Ji Qiyu was changing clothes behind the screen, and when she heard Huiyu's words, she poked her head out to look at her, "You have a good nose."

That's why she guessed right!
Huiyu's heart sank, and she said, "I just think it's strange. How could the students outside the capital know about this? After all, this is not Yan Daru's academy. If things are abnormal, there must be demons." Master Dong Er's school The academy with Yan Daru is simply the difference between the standard version and the deluxe version, not a level of competition, so it is naturally very strange that people from outside the city suddenly come to enroll.

"What you said makes sense." Ji Qiyu changed into a homely wide-sleeved robe and said softly, sitting opposite Huiyu.

After the Mid-Autumn Festival, there has been no news from the palace. Either the emperor did not know about the affairs between Sister Zhao and Dong Wan, or the emperor knew about it but did not make a statement. No matter which aspect, Huiyu was unwilling to do this. It aroused great attention. After all, this matter concerns the face of Dingguo Palace. No matter who wins or loses between her and Dong Wan, Dingguo Palace will become a laughing stock, so Huiyu would rather this matter be quietly annihilated like this.

Hui Yu smiled, leaned on the soft pillow behind her, and looked sideways at Ji Qiyu. The man in front of her was the same as a few years ago, making people unable to take their eyes off at a glance.After being married for several years, maybe because of becoming a father, Ji Qiyu has a bit more mature man's breath on her body, and she can't help but be addicted to him when she sees him.

After not hearing Hui Yu's words for a long time, Ji Qiyu looked up, but saw Hui Yu staring at his face with vigour, and couldn't help but startled, gradually under Hui Yu's gaze, Ji Qiyu I just felt my cheeks slowly warming up.

Coughing lightly, trying to divert the discomfort, Huiyu couldn't help laughing, it was rare to see Ji Qiyu in such an embarrassment.Her laughter made Ji Qiyu even more embarrassed, and when she glanced at her, Huiyu said, "You said you were born so beautiful, how can I rest in peace?"

Ji Qiyu: ...

Huiyu thumped the couch and laughed, and Ji Qiyu knew that she had made fun of her again. She was really angry, angry and not easy to get angry. How can there be such a thick-skinned woman.

Huiyu held up the hem of her skirt and sat down next to Ji Qiyu, leaning against his chest next to him.Ji Qiyu hugged her helplessly, there were some things he couldn't resist, so he couldn't resist the decree to prevent Xiunu from entering the mansion, but he could only be gentle with her alone.But he could still feel that Huiyu was actually a little uneasy, and he also wanted to understand why she was still uneasy. Didn't he treat her badly?

"Since this is the case, do you plan to do something?" Huiyu asked with her eyes closed, bringing up the previous topic again.

Ji Qiyu settled down, held Huiyu's hand and stroked it, thought for a while before saying: "The place over there is narrow for my father-in-law, and at the beginning, I just wanted to provide a place for poor students who have no money to study, so I will do it later. When selecting people to enter the school, one is to ask the student’s family to be poor and unable to provide for the school, and the other is to test the knowledge of the students in the school to raise the entry threshold.”

Huiyu nodded, "This is also a way, but if someone really sneaks in, it's really hard to prevent."

Ji Qiyu naturally knew this, and sneered, "So we plan to really check one by one, father-in-law's school is a serious place to run schools, even if they get in, they can't really do much, at most they are just looking around. It’s just some news.” At this point, he paused, “I won’t go to Bohui easily in the future, and the people on my side won’t show up, just don’t worry.”

The enemy wanted to sneak in to inquire about the news, probably because he also wanted to observe from Bohui Academy to see who the people on Ji Qiyu's side showed up, or what role Prince Jing's residence played in this matter.Now the people on Ji Qiyu's side don't show up at all, even if the enemy snoops, there is no chance, so Huiyu is relieved.

At the beginning of October, a wave of anti-military forces suddenly emerged in the south. There was a severe drought in more than a dozen counties in the south, and there was almost no harvest. After thousands of people made a big fuss, they couldn't hide it, so the news was sent to the capital quickly.

The capital was shaken, and the emperor was furious.

King Su ordered the two generals to lead troops to capture the leader of the rebel army as his deputy, and the household department headed by King Ning provided military supplies. The household department was busy with horses, grain, grass, and equipment for a while.No one expected that the emperor would actually send King Su to lead the army, and that King Ning was also important in dispatching food, grass and military supplies, but Ji Qiyu showed no sign of being reused.

Su Wang's Mansion is unparalleled, and Ning Wang's Mansion is also very popular, but Jing Wang's Mansion still lives its own life quietly and calmly, as if unaware of the outside world.

"King Su has no experience in leading troops. The emperor's move is obviously to give King Su a chance to make military achievements, otherwise he would not have sent two generals as his deputy." Ji Qiyu put the chess piece down, looked at Huiyu and said.

Sister Zhao was playing with Brother Yu who was basking in the sun in the yard. The couple simply set up a chess game on the stone table. The October sun was warm and soft, and the yard was full of laughter and harmony.

"The emperor has the intention to praise you, but I'm afraid that King Su may not be able to bear this burden." Huiyu is not underestimating King Su, but King Su has no experience in leading troops and has not been honed in the barracks, even if he can read it well The art of war, but talking about war on paper is nothing but empty talk.

"Oh? You don't like King Su?" Ji Qiyu looked at Huiyu and asked with a smile.

Huiyu dropped his son and nodded slightly, "It's not that I don't like it, but King Su is inexperienced. Leading troops in battle is not just a joke." After a pause, Huiyu remembered the things in the past few years, Looking at Ji Qiyu, he said: "In the past few years, King Su's temperament has restrained a lot. Firstly, it is because you and King Ning are unstoppable. If he does not restrain himself, he will bear the brunt of it. Second, King Su is also a person who understands current affairs. , but if there is no constraint for the leader to go abroad, with his previous arrogant temperament, who knows if his old illness will relapse, if he can't listen to people's words, some people will read it."

Ji Qiyu raised her eyebrows, suddenly became interested, and asked, "If it's in your opinion, who should be sent out?"

"It's hard to say. King Su's family doesn't have anyone capable of recruiting and fighting to assist him. He may not trust the lieutenants sent to him by the emperor. It is a big taboo if the master and lieutenant are not on the same page. If King Su can listen to people's words, and The two generals may really be able to return home in triumph. It’s a pity... King Su’s temperament may not be able to do this. Except for King Su, King Ning’s family has a deep foundation and a large number of talents in the clan. There are also contacts in the army to assist, if King Ning leads the army, the chance of winning is more than [-]%. Of course, if you lead the army, the prince, it will be even more difficult." With Xing Yulang around, most of the generals in the army will fight with him With friendship, as long as he is willing to speak a few words, it will be much easier for Ji Qiyu to lead the army. "However, now that the emperor has used King Su to lead the army, it seems that he is still very afraid of King Ning and the family behind the prince, so he will use dangerous tactics to try to stand up King Su."

From here, we can see the foundation of the family. As long as King Ning and Prince Jing stand there, the people behind them, the families will do their best to help them for their own future.The family has been established for hundreds of years, what is the most indispensable thing?That's talent.King Su's family is just an uncle's mansion, compared with the four great families, it is like ants shaking a tree. At this time, King Su led the army to go out, and there was no one in the Shunyi uncle's mansion who could lead the army to give King Su as an arm, but Ning Wang and Ji Qiyu are different, this is also a gap.

Ji Qiyu took a fixed look at Huiyu. What Huiyu said was similar to what his staff had analyzed. This was not the knowledge and vision that a girl in a boudoir should have. Can hit the point.Thinking of this, he felt a little nervous, and recalled her brother Sheng Yu's childhood scene, and what Master Liao Wen had said to him.He lowered his head to suppress some tumbling and stuffy thoughts, then raised his head and his face didn't seem to have changed at all, "What you said is very reasonable, and what you mean is that the emperor is not happy to see the aristocratic family become stronger again, so he just King Su will be reused."

"It's possible. After all, you are on par with King Ning now. If you choose one of the two of you for this expedition, after you return from victory, there will be troubles in the capital again." With the light of this victory In addition, both King Ning and Prince Jing are extremely dazzling brilliance, and the delicate balance between the two will definitely be broken. The emperor has more political considerations in doing this, but it is a pity... I am afraid that he will be disappointed in the military up.And to be honest, Huiyu didn't want King Su to return in triumph. With King Su's temperament and military achievements, who knows what troubles and dangers he will bring to Ji Qiyu.Last time he joined forces with King Ning to suppress Ji Qiyu, but in a blink of an eye, he could abandon King Ning like a bag. Even though there was Kan Zhiyi's handwriting in it, King Su was too heartless, Huiyu didn't like such a person.

One month later, King Su arrived at the place where the war was in turmoil. The battle was fierce, and Kyoto would receive battle reports from the front every other day.At the same time, both King Ning and King Jing have sent their own cronies to the front to collect the latest information. Why does King Ning do this? , the emperor will definitely choose one of the remaining sons to take over, and it is bound to win a battle to maintain the majesty of the royal family.This time the army was led by King Su, and it was the emperor's intention to spread the majesty of the Tian family to the world.

The news of success soon came, King Su won three consecutive battles, and the atmosphere in the court became more relaxed.At the same time, Ji Qiyu in Prince Jing’s residence was frowning at the map. Huiyu stood beside him and stared intently at the boundary marked by Ji Qiyu, with an ugly expression on his face. According to the news sent back by the spies of Prince Jing’s residence, King Su made a report Almost one-third of the people who were killed and captured in the book were ordinary people.It is not uncommon to falsely report military achievements on the battlefield. This has long been an open secret in the army, but it is still a bit unbearable to use civilians to make up the number.

"Greedy and aggressive." Ji Qiyu sighed, with annoyed expression on his face, "There must be someone who is good at fighting among the enemy, otherwise such a big situation would not be set up and King Su would lose his way."

"Thousands of rebels in the area, tens of thousands of people from the imperial court went to wipe them out, even with bare hands, there is still a chance of victory. Unfortunately, you are right, there are good soldiers among the enemies, and the few win the many, and the weak defeat the strong , and is good at confusing the enemy with false appearances. Judging from the current route of King Su, he should get along well with the two lieutenants. At least the advance is a bit reckless, but it is still stable, otherwise there will be no good news of three consecutive victories "Hui Yu stared at the map, "It's just that I always have a bad feeling. Maybe the rebels may not really be willing to lose all three battles. After all, King Su has the upper hand in numbers, and he pushed forward with a crushing force. It is true that the rebels cannot beat their edge, what if this is to lure the enemy to go deeper?"

Ji Qiyu had the same thought as Huiyu, and they looked at each other.

What Huiyu saw in Ji Qiyu's eyes was not the joy that King Su was defeated and he might have a chance to make meritorious deeds, but...the pity for the common people with deep worry.It is unavoidable that the people will be injured in the flames of war.

From salt work to shipping, and now, Huiyu has always known that he is a person who thinks about the people and the country, and never focuses on his own interests. This kind of compassion for the world and compassion often makes Huiyu feel A little guilty, because Huiyu doesn't have the sentiment and heart of Ji Qiyu. Compared with Ji Qiyu, she is actually more selfish, and she sees more in the interests of the family.

What the two were worried about soon came to an end. At the end of November, after more than a month of fighting, King Su was injured in Zhongfu, and five thousand soldiers were murdered.

"It's simply ridiculous. I still don't want to think about how to turn the tide of the war, but I still keep pestering about those trivial matters, I don't know what it means!" Ji Qiyu slapped the table at home angrily, Huiyu sent the child to the next door to avoid surprise, But seeing Ji Qiyu getting so angry, she was also speechless.

The imperial court was defeated, and those civil servants didn't want to think about how to save the defeat, so at this time, they counted several major crimes against King Su.King Ning and King Jing took the initiative to petition to lead the army to go out, but the emperor stayed behind and quarreled with each other. At this time, the number of rebels in the south was getting bigger and bigger, spreading from dozens of counties to the whole province. With several provinces approaching, if this delay continues, this battle will become more and more difficult to fight.

No wonder Xing Yulang never talked nonsense when he was directly tied up by an unreasonable civil servant.

Hui Yu handed Ji Qiyu a cup of tea to extinguish the fire, and then said, "So what if you are dying of anxiety? Now you can't do anything."

It was just like this that made her even angrier. Ji Qiyu sat down helplessly, but the teacup in Huiyu's hand didn't want to drink, so she put it on the kang table, and couldn't help complaining, "I really wish I could talk about these scholars who misunderstood the country. Throw them all out of the court."

Huiyu thought about the scene for a while, and felt embarrassed.

But from Ji Qiyu's words, we can also see why he was angry. Many times Ji Qiyu's emotions are very forbearing, and it is easy for others to spy on any information, but once he encounters this kind of State affairs, his anger is as spectacular as a volcanic eruption, and he cannot look directly at it.

"School officials rule the country, and military generals rule the world. This is a matter of different division of labor. If you let military generals rule the country, wouldn't the world be in chaos? If you let scholars rule the country, it must be a disaster for the country. They are just looking for existence in the court. It’s just to let the emperor know their loyalty. So it’s not worthwhile for you to be angry to death because of other people’s mistakes.” Huiyu comforted him, she was also very angry, but she couldn’t get angry at this time Topped with oil. "What does the emperor mean, how much can you guess?"

Ji Qiyu shook her head, who can guess what the emperor is thinking?

Huiyu wasn't disappointed either. After all, the emperor's old fox even found it difficult for her to tie her head, and sometimes she was a little scared, let alone guessing his mind.

"Even if we can't guess it, we can still analyze it. I think there is only one possibility for the emperor to hesitate at this time, that is, he still doesn't want to give up King Su, and he doesn't want King Su to return to Beijing under the name of defeat. It’s too embarrassing and embarrassing.” Moreover, King Su was handpicked by the emperor, and King Su was defeated, and the emperor was also very embarrassed, so at this time, the emperor still hopes that King Su can win a game to save some face.

"You think so too?"

Huiyu raised her eyebrows and smiled, "We really have a good understanding."

Huiyu's teasing words extinguished Ji Qiyu's anger a little. He looked at Huiyu very seriously, took her hand, and said word by word: "Yao Huan, if I ask you to be willing King Su's deputy, will you... stop me?"

Huiyu was dumbfounded.

"What?" She felt that she might have some auditory hallucinations. Ji Qiyu actually wanted to ask Zhi to be his deputy. Do you know what this means?Even if he won the battle, the military exploits belong to King Su, and it has nothing to do with Ji Qiyu's dime.And in this way, King Su's power will be strengthened, and it will bring countless troubles to Prince Jing's mansion in the future, but Ji Qiyu still decides to do this, so it can only be said that he values ​​the people of Li people more than these. "You know that you have decided to do this, and bring it to Prince Jing's mansion, what will it bring to you? You know that if you do this, King Su may not be grateful to you?"
