Spatial Peasant Girl: These Mad Darlings Are Delicate and Gullible

The soldiers fighting in the war came from various tribes. If the tribe chiefs were all won over by Chi'erga, how could he dare to use them if they refused to withdraw their troops, let alone if they wanted to?

Chi Ernan gritted his teeth. He was the commander-in-chief of this campaign, but now, he could not make any other decision except calling stop.

"sign."

Not long ago, news of the covenant signed by Jihu was sent back to the capital. The emperor and ministers were pleasantly surprised by how beneficial the covenant was to Daxia.

In addition to the cessation of land and compensation for the truce, Jihu also honestly handed over two iron mines and a lot of ore that had been mined.

"Your Majesty, the third prince has made great achievements in repelling the enemy and leading the troops well. He is the pillar of the country!"

"That's right, Your Majesty. Originally, all we wanted was for Ji Hu to withdraw his troops. Unexpectedly, His Highness the Third Prince actually took back the most troublesome iron ore mine for our own use. This is such an unexpected surprise!"

But there are also voices of opposition: "Your Majesty, I heard that the Third Highness ignored the imperial decree and sent troops to attack Jihu without permission. This move is obviously eager for quick success and does not take the emperor's life into consideration at all. I request an order to hold the Third Highness responsible for resisting the decree!"

"Is there something wrong with you? The Third Highness won the battle, and instead of supporting the reward, you asked His Majesty to punish him?"

"Family has family rules, and the country has national laws. If everyone is as independent as the Third Highness, will all the generals in the future be able to use the excuse of "the foreign emperor will not accept the order" to disobey the imperial edict? In this way, Where is the power of God?"

"Furthermore, who can guarantee that His Highness will win with good luck? What if he makes a bold move next time and involves the whole of Great Xia?"

"Master He is simply unreasonable. Can you not hope for something better?"

There had been a lot of quarrel in the morning, and the ministers refused to give in to anyone. The quarrel had not produced any useful results all morning, so the matter could only be left alone for the time being.

After retiring from the court, the emperor came to Concubine Ji's palace, but she still looked indifferent.

The emperor asked: "The third child has made meritorious service, what do you think I should reward him for?"

Concubine Ji focused on the tea cup without raising her head: "As a prince, it is his duty to share His Majesty's worries."

The emperor asked again: "Some people say that I should punish him for disobeying the imperial decree and advancing rashly. What do you think?"

Concubine Ji kept moving: "It's indeed a bit risky."

The emperor held his chin up and watched her order tea: "Speaking of which, the prince went to the border town to deliver food and he did a good job. I haven't rewarded him yet. What do you think I should reward him for?"

Concubine Ji raised her head almost immediately, but quickly lowered her head the next moment: "The harem is not allowed to interfere in politics. Naturally, Your Majesty can reward you whatever you want."

The emperor took the tea cup and took a sip without commenting.

As usual, he didn't stay overnight and left after a cup of tea. This made the palace people wonder day after day - was Concubine Ji favored or not?

To say that he is favored, His Majesty never spends the night at Concubine Ji's place. Whenever he comes back, he only sits there and talks a few words.

To say that she is not favored, not even the queen can compare with the rewards she receives throughout the year, and no matter how busy your majesty is, she will always come to see Concubine Ji in person every once in a while.

The queen came not long after the emperor left, but her tone was not very good.

"I heard that Your Majesty came here just now? What did he say to you?"

Concubine Ji did not hide anything, but as soon as she finished speaking, the queen's face darkened: "In the past, you always said that you loved the prince. Why didn't you praise him more when His Majesty asked? Didn't I tell you that last time, prince?" I have been idle for a long time, and there just happened to be a vacancy in the scientific examination, which is suitable for the prince to practice."

Concubine Ji didn't seem to care about the Queen's reproach and dissatisfaction, and continued to grind tea slowly: "Queen, it's not that I don't want to speak, and it's not like you don't understand His Majesty. If I ask for an official position, if I can't say anything, it will make him feel that I am It was under the instruction of the prince, wouldn’t this be counterproductive?”

The queen thought for a moment and said, "I have wrongly blamed my sister, and I am also a little anxious. Your Majesty attaches great importance to the imperial examinations, and has also been very optimistic about the new students in recent years. The other princes saw the mystery in this, and they also paid attention to the imperial examinations." It’s hard to find a position related to the exam, and I’m worried that someone will take advantage of me first.”

Concubine Ji handed her a cup of tea: "How can I not understand the Queen's concerns? Don't worry, we have given the prince's contribution to delivering food until now, isn't it just for that position? Now, as long as at the right time, Let the right person in the court speak, and the prince will surely get what he wants."

The queen was coaxed into a happy mood. The Yan family has been going smoothly recently, with both wealth and power. Although the military power has not yet been obtained, as long as the prince can control those students, the Yan family will still have the say in the court from now on.

The queen left with satisfaction. Concubine Ji sat alone in the palace for a while and asked people to come up and clean up.

"Throw it all away, there is no need to keep it."

Although the palace maid was puzzled, she still responded obediently.

The queen quickly contacted the prince's party and tried to help the prince take the important scientific examination positions into his hands before Rong Yan came back. Things went very smoothly, or in other words, it was too smooth...

During another morning court meeting, the emperor looked at the ministers who spoke one after another to praise the prince's achievements, and said with a hint: "The prince is very popular among the people."

Some of the ministers wanted to speak, but Yan Xian quickly stopped them with his eyes.

The emperor asked with a meaningful smile: "Since the prince is so outstanding and has worked so hard and accomplished so much, what kind of errands do you think I should arrange for him?"

No matter how stupid you are, you can hear the emperor's dissatisfaction. The ministers who had just spoken to you and me fell silent, not knowing what to do. At this time, Prime Minister Shen, who had been silent until now, stepped forward: "Your Majesty, Aren’t you previously worried that there was no reliable person to take charge of the follow-up maintenance of Xijiang County’s dams?”

Prime Minister Yan's teeth were itching - this old man must have done it on purpose! Let the prince take charge of the dike?

Who doesn’t know that the Yan family was the one who got into trouble with the dam issue before? This matter was already ignored, but he had to bring it up! Are you afraid that others will forget the strict rules?

Originally, His Majesty wanted to reward him for completing the errand, but now that he has done it, is he making up for his fault?

The efficiency of doing things in the Daxia court has never been high, so the matter has not been decided yet. However, Prime Minister Shen was called by the emperor to talk alone. Yan Xiangsi thought about it and made appointments with all the ministers who were in the court today to take credit for the prince. come out.

Who has been around the court for so long and still doesn’t know that they have gotten into trouble?

"Forgive me, Prime Minister... I was instructed by the Queen to give His Highness the position of director of the scientific examination. Who would have thought..."

"Who would have thought?" Prime Minister Yan said calmly, "You failed to go to court on the first day. Don't you know that everything needs to be relaxed and moderate? With so many people speaking out at once, you are afraid that Your Majesty will not be suspicious of the Crown Prince, right?"

Several ministers were timid, but they were not convinced in their hearts. If it hadn't been for the Queen's order, they wouldn't have done such a reckless thing. Now it's good, everything goes wrong and they are all to blame!

Naturally, Prime Minister Yan also had opinions about the queen, but how could he know now that the queen notified so many people?
