Chapter 407 The Return of the King 4
Ji Qiyu shook her head, "If you add this sentence, my trip to Shanyang will become an act of righteousness for the country and the people. Even if the emperor knows that half of this statement is false, he will not deny it. Yes." No matter who has seen the power of the firecracker, I am afraid that they will not calm down. The emperor has been guarding against foreign invasion of the border all these years. With this thing, who is Dajin afraid of?

In a sense, Prince Jing's mansion selflessly dedicates this thing to the country, rather than using it as an act of selfishness to fight for the high position. Ji Qiyu's status as the emperor and among the courtiers is another layer of dazzling of brilliance.

If he took this thing and hid it privately instead of giving it to the country, then when he was fighting with King Ning, with this secret weapon, he would already have the upper hand.

Huiyu just laughed, asking Ji Qiyu to conspire against such a thing, even if he was killed, he would not do it.He is going to take out the firecracker at this time, which shows that he has no intention of keeping it private. In this case, he will naturally take this boat to seek more benefits for him.There is always a kind of person who makes you angry, hate and admire. Ji Qiyu's character has many unsatisfactory aspects, and his methods of doing things are relatively fierce. , never put your own interests above it.Huiyu sometimes thinks that it would be great if this person could be more selfish and think more for herself.But along the way, it was his temperament that attracted him even more, and he was willing to let her accompany him in this madness.

"If it were me, I wouldn't take this thing out." Huiyu said seriously, "I would think it would be more useful to save my life."

Ji Qiyu is far less important than King Ning in the emperor's heart. What if the emperor still favors King Ning in this game?With Huiyu's temperament, she would always leave a way out for herself, but Ji Qiyu didn't want to do it that way, he was still betting, betting on the last bit of conscience left by the emperor.Huiyu can understand this kind of persistence, but she doesn't quite agree with it.Putting all one's hopes on other people's conscience is a very dangerous move in itself, especially for a cold person like the emperor.

But since Ji Qiyu chose to do this, she had no choice but to accompany her to the end.

There is a kind of love in this world. Knowing that you are flying like a moth to a flame, I would like to accompany you in life and death.

Ji Qiyu disdained that even if he took that position, he would be criticized. He wanted to step up to it in a fair manner, and he wanted to gain the approval of the people of Jin Dynasty and the support of the courtiers.That's why Ji Qiyu has been doing all the errands with great care along the way, serving the emperor with sincerity, loving the people like a son, and doing things beautifully in her political achievements, so others can't fault her.

Such a person is very tired to live, but he has no regrets.

"I wouldn't do so much if I wanted to use force to resolve it."

"I know."

The two looked at each other and smiled, and Ji Qiyu looked at Huiyu and asked seriously, "Do you think I'm stupid for thinking so?"

"Yes, it's not just stupid, it's so stupid that it's about to bubble up." Since ancient times, I have never heard of Ji Qiyu's behavior of putting her own future on others' conscience. "But, I like you like this, and I am willing to be silly with you to the end."

"So you're the one who's stupider than me."

"There is a saying that the husband sings and the wife follows."

"What if I take a knife and kill someone?"

"Then I'll destroy the corpse."

"Don't ask why?"

"Do not ask!"

Ji Qiyu looked at Huiyu steadily, looked at the faint smile on the corner of her lips, watched her sip tea, and listened to her speaking such shocking words as a matter of course, she was the first one in this world who ignored him No matter what you do, don't say a single word.

Others would only say that Prince Jing loved the concubine deeply, but no one saw her disregard for him.

The offering of firecrackers by Prince Jing’s mansion shocked the entire Jin Dynasty, especially after the emperor personally led civil and military officials to watch the guards of Prince Jing’s mansion test the power of firecrackers. If such weapons can be vigorously produced and strengthened, they will be enough to change a country. fate.

Prince Jing's life, death, and whereabouts were unknown, but the people in Prince Jing's mansion followed the prince's order, and once the weapon was forged successfully, it was immediately presented to the court.

The emperor questioned the craftsman at court and asked many questions, but only two sentences were the most impressive.

In the first sentence, our prince went to Shanyang to find raw materials for making firecrackers.

The second sentence, the prince ordered before he left, no matter whether he comes back or not, as long as the firecracker is successful, he will immediately offer it to the court, enrich the border, and protect our territory of the Great Jin Dynasty.

At this time, the many voices questioning Prince Jing in the court disappeared all of a sudden. No prince would be so selfless and would do such a stupid thing. If you are not in Kyoto, just let the people below send it up rashly.Furthermore, the two factions of Prince Ning and Prince Jing are now fighting so fiercely. Prince Jing has mastered such a weapon, but he didn't think about owning it privately, but directly dedicated it to the court.

This is not the first time others have experienced or seen such a selfless Prince Jing, but this time it is the most profound.

Such a noble sentiment, with only the people of the country in their hearts, is enough to make those who criticize Prince Jing feel guilty.

Prince Jing went to Shanyang to search for the raw materials for a strong Jin Dynasty, but in the end he encountered an "accident" and did not know whether he was alive or not. , seems to have faintly let everyone understand something.

At this critical juncture, the interrogation of Wen Xizhen by Shen Xingsi also came to fruition.

The previous court was turbulent and treacherous, but the harem was turbulent.

At such a rare and quiet time, who suddenly mentioned Princess Zhaoyi who was taken away by Master Wen!
Then someone mentioned the string of eighteen sons that the master gave to the princess many years ago.

There are really not many people in this world who can be seen in the eyes of Master Liaowen, and a slap may not be enough.

Princess Zhaoyi not only caught Master Wen's eyes, but also thought of the emperor's preference for the princess over the years. She was really the first among many grandchildren. The only one who can be compared with her is Princess Xiao'an.

It seemed that all of a sudden, everyone thought of the benefits of Prince Jing. From salt affairs to shipping to the inner court and now to the Ministry of Punishment, Prince Jing was serious about his errands and never shrugged off wherever he went.Then there was another voice that gradually came out, and the one who was on par with it was naturally King Ning. Everyone knew how King Ning treated people and how he was on errands. No one would attack King Ning's character and errands. The most mentioned is the series of faults of Prince Ning's support group Xinguo Gongfu and Lingguo Gongfu. At this time, Dingguo Gongfu and Zhaoguo Gongfu, who also follow Prince Jing, are usually low-key, so there is nothing worthwhile. For those who are commended, when encountering a lot of negative news about the government of Xinguo and the two families of the government, their favorability has risen by more than one level in an instant.

If anyone would have dared to openly compare the four major families like this in the past, but the news from the harem seems that something happened to Concubine De, without the support of Concubine De in the harem, King Ning is now dragged down by Duke Xin, and his whereabouts are still unknown Although Prince Jing has not yet returned to Beijing, all kinds of comparative rumors seem to have surfaced overnight.

People outside have no definite information on what happened to De Concubine, but it does not prevent Ding Guogong and Zhao Guogong from secretly leading rumors and making the crimes of King Ning's family public. Xin Guogong's bad comment is slowly getting in his way, and it will be even more difficult for Ji Fuyan to turn around.

At this time, the emperor was in Fengqi Palace, holding the confession sent by Shen Xingsi in his hand. The person kneeling in front of him was not the queen, but Chen Gui, who had been favored by the imperial court for a long time and fell out of favor. eunuch.

The queen sat dignifiedly beside the emperor, looked at Chen Guipin who was crying, and said with a sigh: "It's so pitiful, why haven't you talked about these things? Even though you were demoted into a palace man and suffered a grievance in front of this palace, my palace will not let you down." I will also uphold justice for you, how could you almost risk your life, it is simply lawless."

Chen Guipin's bun was tilted at this time, the makeup on her face was blurred by tears, Yudai choked with sobs and said sadly: "My concubine knows that the empress is always fair and strict, but at that time she only wanted to save her life. She dared not go against the Concubine De. But who knew that the concubine was demoted to the palace, and she would not let the concubine go. Clothes Bureau was drowned. Concubine De is so daring and reckless, murdering human life, my concubine dare not go against her..."

The emperor's heart fluctuated violently. On the testimony held in his hand, it was clearly written in black and white, how Concubine De bought Wen's daughter, how she arranged to enter Prince Jing's mansion, and how she murdered Concubine Jing. family's future.He came to the queen only to ask the queen to verify this testimony, and to bring Mrs. Wen into the palace for questioning. He never thought that he would meet Chen Guipin begging the queen for help.After some questions, the emperor's face changed several times. Hearing Chen Guipin's words, he almost gritted his teeth and asked, "What is the life-saving object in your hand?"

Chen Guipin flinched when he heard the words, his face showed a bit of panic, his whole body trembled, as if he had thought of something terrible.

When the queen saw it, she hurriedly said softly: "There is nothing you can't say in front of the emperor. As long as you tell the truth, the emperor will definitely uphold justice for you. However, you have to think about it. For a concubine who has a prince, this crime will bring disaster to the whole family. Don't talk nonsense, grab and bite at will, don't talk about the emperor, even this palace can't tolerate you."

The emperor glanced at the queen when the emperor heard the words, and the queen said: "Your majesty, the concubines don't want unhealthy winds to prevail in the harem. What Chen Guifei is suing is a concubine with a high status and who gave birth to an emperor's heir. If she dares to make a false accusation, the concubines will Explain the consequences to her first, and know that you can’t say such things casually.” After saying this, she paused, and said helplessly: “I have been with Sister Defei in the harem for so many years, although she sometimes has a bit of a bad temper. She is too calm, and she is a little impulsive in doing things, but she has been quite famous in the palace for so many years. If any concubine can jump out and criticize her, this trend cannot be encouraged. Please forgive me, Your Majesty."
