It was too easy to persuade General Hou. As soon as the losses caused by the princes were shown to him, General Hou was already sharpening his sword to attack Zhao.
He was obsessed with making back his losses from Zhao. After confirming with Ji Changze and the military advisor, he began to focus on training troops again.
General Hou has always been very powerful in this regard.
Let others do the brain work.
He will do the fighting.
Ji Changze and the military advisor made a good plan again.
To be honest, what the eldest prince did this time was enough to shock both of them.
After all, he is also the eldest prince of Xingguo. No matter how many stupid things he did in the past, he is now able to hook up with Zhao Guo in order to expand his own power.
Is he a fool
The military advisor felt that maybe things were not like this.
After careful consideration, he thought that the eldest prince might be pretending to be stupid on purpose. After all, if he were Zhao Guo, he would definitely not help the enemy prince.
But if this is a fool, that's not necessarily the case.
If a fool sits on the throne of an enemy country, Zhao will not be able to do whatever they want.
Therefore, the eldest prince may not be doing the opposite.
Use stupid illusions to blind the enemy's sight, making them lower their guard against him and then try their best to help him.
But maybe Zhao Guo thought so too.
But maybe the eldest prince also thought about what Zhao Guo thought.
This is what is called my prediction of your prediction.
The military advisor's thinking began to fall into an infinite loop.
Ji Changze...
He didn't know whether the eldest prince was really stupid or pretended to be stupid. Anyway, he only knew that the eldest prince and the second prince had never regarded the people below as human beings.
When the rebels rebelled, the second prince colluded with the rebels and took advantage of the chaos to sell off the people of Xingguo, leaving the originally good people with their families ruined and their families turned into slaves of others.
In order to seduce Zhao Guo again, the eldest prince sent people to rob the military pay transported by the court to the northwest city.
The fighting was going on at that time. If the military pay was just gone, and the military advisors were not that good at managing money, we don’t know how many soldiers would have died by then.
The eldest prince and the second prince could do such a thing, no matter what they thought, they would never let him sit in this position again.
Northwest City was just a temporary resting place for them. The reason they stayed here was to chase the rebels.
Of course, the actual purpose is to make a fortune.
After all, the army entered the city and looked majestic. As long as they sat in the house, people from all walks of life would naturally come to deliver money.
This was originally General Hou's favorite project, but now because he has national justice in mind, he no longer has the heart to sit at home and collect money. He goes out to the school to train troops every day, with a "I can't do it without fighting" attitude.
After Ji Changze and the military advisor made plans, they went back to their respective homes.
In fact, it's simple. They wanted to trip up the second prince before, just because of many considerations, mainly because they were afraid that the second prince would fall and the eldest prince's family would dominate.
Now that it's better, there's no need to think about it. After some investigation, I found that the reason why the eldest prince was able to get in touch with Zhao Guo was because the second prince arranged for someone to do it behind his back.
The second prince was smarter. Although he had contacts with Zhao State early on, he had never done anything treasonous.
He only occasionally cheated his own family and enriched his own pockets through Zhao Guo. Even if he colluded with the rebels, he always hid behind the scenes.
This time, I am afraid that he wanted to accuse the eldest prince of colluding with the enemy.
After receiving the news, the military advisor fell into a deep thought.
He was in disbelief.
After all, the two princes were chosen by the ministers of the court. They have been surrounded by capable people since they were young. Do they not even have a gentleman who can plan strategies for them
Are they stupid, and the gentlemen around them are also stupid?
Ji Changze sent someone to send the military advisor back who was in a trance.
In fact, he knew it in his heart.
It is true that these two princes are stupid, but they are not that stupid.
They do these stupid things that damage the foundation in the eyes of military advisors, but in their own eyes, the common people are nothing.
When the frontier soldiers die, they die. If they die, can't they be recruited again
Their death can pave the way for themselves, which is their greatest honor.
After Ji Changze saw off the military advisor, he sat in his study and played a chess game.
He didn't continue either.
Instead, he just sat in front of the chess board with a pensive look on his face, lost in thought.
The servants passing by occasionally had the courage to take a peek inside the house. Seeing this scene, they did not dare to say anything, and all of them became more relaxed.
After thinking for a long time, Ji Changze came to a conclusion.
Sure enough, this is very pretentious.
Very good, use this trick when you get to the capital.
****
After waiting for some time, General Hou sent a message back to the capital.
The general meaning is as follows:
Your Majesty, I killed all the rebels in the northwest city. The city is now quite safe. I have nothing to do. I will listen to your decision whether you want me to go back to the border or do something else.
Along with this letter went to the capital, along with the spies selected by Ji Changze and the military advisor.
They originally had spies in the capital, but General Hou had been chasing and attacking the rebels, and no one paid attention to him.
Now that he has taken the northwest city, he has glory, and there will be many people watching him all the way back to Beijing. If he doesn't insert a few spies for them to keep an eye on, I'm afraid there will be no peace.
When the letter arrived in the capital, His Majesty's reaction was exactly what they expected.
Let General Hou go against Zhao Guo.
Ji Changze didn't want to go with him.
General Hou recommended him, and he was considered a civil servant in the court.
The eldest prince wanted to get Zhao to support him through a war between the two countries, and the second prince wanted to use this to unseat the eldest prince.
If we win this battle, the effect will be greatly reduced.
Therefore, the two princes would definitely not let General Hou win.
The military advisor accompanied General Hou to the front, while Ji Changze went to the capital to smooth the way forward for them.
He was about to leave Northwest City in advance and needed to send his wife to his hometown in Huxian County while he went to the capital to become an official.
Jiang Wanqing had already adapted to life in Northwest City.
She has always had a strong temperament and good health. She was captured by the rebels and came all the way without any illness. Now she is back at home, with her husband by her side, maids waiting on her, and some warm and nourishing things from the kitchen. .
There is also a doctor staying in the house, checking her pulse from time to time. Her body is healthier now than before she was married.
In addition, her husband respects her and leaves all the affairs of the house to her. There is a big difference between having a career and not having a career. Jiang Wanqing doesn't feel anything about it, but Ji Changze can see the cowardice in her eyebrows. We have gone a lot and people are more cheerful.
In ancient times, being able to hold the power in the house was the confidence of most women, coupled with the favor of their husbands and having children at their knees.
Every time she went out, no matter what the weather, Ji Changze would come to pick her up and take her back home. No one in the entire northwest city didn't envy him.
The baby in the womb is also very healthy and is just waiting for it to mature and fall asleep.
In such a good mood among the three parties, Jiang Wanqing became more and more confident and was in a good mood every day.
If you are in a good mood, your body will naturally feel better.
She was not just waiting for her husband to help her. After discovering that Ji Changze loved reading, Jiang Wanqing also started reading. She practiced calligraphy at night and traced her husband's calligraphy.
Ji Changze followed her lead. She loved reading, so he collected some unique books. She wanted to practice calligraphy, so he wrote a copybook for her to practice according to. Now that it is winter, occasionally the couple would go out in the snow to look for plum blossoms.
The Zheng family didn't say much about her outside. They only said that Mrs. Ji and Mrs. Zheng were good friends, which could be regarded as protecting Jiang Wanqing's reputation.
Although even if they spread the news, Ji Changze would still have ways to deal with it, but since they were so kind, he would naturally accept their kindness.
As a result, the Zheng family got a fat fruit.
They were so grateful that even Mrs. Zheng's status in the mansion was much higher.
She felt grateful that it was because of Ji Changze that he became more and more kind to Jiang Wanqing.
The two of them are now as good as sisters.
Jiang Wanqing was naturally reluctant to leave Northwest City now. It happened that Mrs. Wang of the Northwest City held a chrysanthemum banquet and invited ladies and ladies from various families to enjoy the chrysanthemums. During the excitement, Jiang Wanqing took Mrs. Zheng with her. Sitting in the pavilion with his hands.
He told her that his family was leaving Northwest City.
Mrs. Zheng moved her hand holding the stove, with a look of reluctance on her face.
She put down the stove, took Jiang Wanqing's hand and sighed; "In the past, I didn't like to go out and socialize, and I couldn't get along with other ladies and ladies. Now that I finally have you, you have to leave again." ”
"Don't be sad. I will write to you when I return to Hu County. We sisters will still be able to contact you by then."
"That's different too. The Zheng family is based in Northwest City. I'm afraid I'll have to live here for the rest of my life. Maybe we won't be able to see each other again in this life."
As she spoke, Mrs. Zheng's eyes became red.
Although she kept Jiang Wanqing because of the signature, people's hearts are fleshy, and when they are together, there is a true sisterly love.
Now that my sister is leaving, how can I not be sad.
Seeing her like this, Jiang Wanqing felt a little uncomfortable in her heart. She held her hand and comforted her, saying, "My husband said that when he is forty-five years old, he will resign and take me to travel around. Then I will How about coming to Northwest City to find you?"
Mrs. Zheng was a little surprised: "Resigning at the age of forty-five? But at this age, you can make a big difference in the court."
"Husband, he doesn't care about this."
When talking about Ji Changze, Jiang Wanqing's eyes brought a bit of sweetness: "He said that in a person's life, men should study hard when they are young, and women should learn needlework. When they are a little older, they get married, and men have to work outside, and women should work hard outside. I have to take care of the house, and when the child is born, I have to plan all kinds of things for the child. I have lived for half my life, but I have not lived for myself."
Her hand fell on her abdomen and touched it gently: "My husband said that when he is forty-five years old, our child will have grown up and can take care of himself. Then we will play around, and if we feel that something is better, we can It’s always better to stay here and move to another place when you get tired of it.”
Mrs. Zheng was very yearning when she heard this.
Although her eye circles were still red, she smiled happily for Jiang Wanqing: "You are so good. We women are basically trapped in the house our whole lives. If you can travel around in the future, you will have to Write me a letter and give me those scenery, and when I look at them, it feels like I have traveled there myself.”
Jiang Wanqing nodded: "Definitely."
The two of them talked affectionately for a while. Mrs. Zheng suddenly remembered something, sat up straight, and asked carefully: "Your husband is going to the capital to be an official, so don't you want to go back to your hometown in Huxian alone?"
"My husband said he would send me back and wait until I am settled before he goes to the capital."
Jiang Wanqing was not very sad that Ji Changze didn't take her with him.
After she became the head of her own family, she realized that traveling was not easy. If she had not been pregnant, she would have gone. Since she was pregnant, it was best not to go out if she could.
If it weren't for leaving her alone in Northwest City, her husband wouldn't have decided to send her back to Hu County.
"Then do you know if your husband has any relatives in his hometown?"
Jiang Wanqing had done her homework a long time ago and said immediately: "The two elders are here, there is no grandma above, there are three brothers below, and there are two sisters."
Mrs. Zheng hurriedly asked: "Master Ji, did you say that you should educate your sister?"
"As I said, my husband said that my sister has a female husband, but after all, the husband is no better than his own family, so it is better for me, my sister-in-law, to take her with her and teach her well."
Hearing Jiang Wanqing's answer, Mrs. Zheng breathed a sigh of relief.
The smile on his face also relaxed: "That's good. Your husband really respects you. Let me tell you, I know several ladies. After they got married, their husband's family never allowed them to get close to their younger brothers and sisters. That is, I'm afraid that they will teach me bad things on purpose, eh, who would dare to have such bad intentions, but my husband's family would break their hearts by acting like this."
"Let me have a few words of confidence with you. Although I am living well in my house, it was very difficult when I first got married. My mother-in-law refused to leave the affairs of the house to me. She could get rid of any mother-in-law in her house. My face, my husband is busy, so I can’t bother him with this, let alone my father-in-law. From then on, I still served my mother-in-law well, and it was only after two years that she was able to delegate her power."
Speaking of this, Mrs. Zheng couldn't hide her envy; "Of the ladies and young ladies I know, none of them have been under the hands of the mother-in-law for several years before they can manage the affairs of the house. Even so, the mother-in-law is watching from the top. , sometimes I have to do what my mother-in-law wants. There is no one like you who can take charge of the family affairs by yourself even if your husband loves you."
Jiang Wanqing didn't know what other wives were like before. It was only after attending many banquets during this period that she realized that her husband had given her such great respect.
Seeing Mrs. Zheng speaking at this moment, she smiled and pushed the other person gently: "What you said seems to mean that your husband doesn't love you. How come I heard that you are the most envied person in Northwest City?" , I envy your husband for his wholeheartedness in not having concubines, you are the one who makes the decision in the family, and your mother-in-law is also kind, so you don’t tell me these things.”
Mrs. Zheng was so amused by her deliberately narrow look that she couldn't stand up straight: "Hey, it seems that you have a backer, and you still come to tease me. When I see Mr. Ji of your family, I will ask him , how can I raise my wife like a child?"
The two of them laughed together.
When the ladies and ladies outside saw it, they felt envious in their hearts.
Although some people think it's rude for them to smile like this outside, how could they be so relaxed if they weren't held in the palm of their husband's hands.
It doesn't look like them, they have to be careful in their words and deeds.
Fortunately, Mrs. Zheng, they have always known her and she is a good person.
And this Mrs. Ji is even better off.
My husband is the right-hand man under General Hou, and now he has been recommended by General Hou to be a capital official. They have met Mr. Ji several times. He has a talented appearance, his face is as white as jade, and he always smiles gently, looking at Jiang Wan. Qing's wife's eyes are also very gentle.
It is not a secret that Jiang Wanqing's natal family has no one. Although Mr. Ji also comes from a peasant family, his status is different now. He never takes concubines, and he refuses to touch outside women when socializing with others.
Master Ji also had to go to the military camp, but whenever Jiang Wanqing came out, he would always come to take her home.
This kind of protective wife is really something that people can’t even envy.
As soon as the banquet was over, the ladies and girls left the house one after another and got on their sedans. As soon as they went out, the ladies were still calm, and some young girls couldn't help but curiously looked at the horses sitting on them. Mr. Ji was waiting quietly outside the house.
I'm embarrassed to talk to others, but I'm very embarrassed to talk to my sisters.
"Second sister, look, that is Master Ji. Every time Mrs. Ji comes out, it is Master Ji who takes her home."
The elder sister looked over carefully and said with some surprise: "This Ji Da has such a good appearance."
"No, otherwise why would I have to drag you with me this time?"
Not only were the two sisters quietly looking at Ji Changze, but the other girls also glanced at him more or less.
It wasn't that they had any evil intentions, it was just that it was rare for such a handsome, official, and very considerate man to appear, and they couldn't help but want to watch more.
Ji Changze was wearing a sky-blue shirt, with blue lines embroidered on the cuffs and hem. The clothes were slim-fitting and made him more powerful. The clothes were made by Jiang Wanqing and he wore them specially to show off.
He came here specially to pick her up, not only because he was worried about Jiang Wanqing, but also because he wanted to give her this dignity.
She lost her parents at a young age, and then was captured by the rebels and brought to the northwest city like this, and lived under the shelter of others for a period of time. Even if she didn't show off, she still had to some extent have low self-esteem.
What Ji Changze did was to drive away all her inferiority complexes.
What he wants is for her to be the envy of everyone.
After waiting quietly, Jiang Wanqing came out chatting and laughing with the young lady of the Zheng family.
Mrs. Zheng saw Ji Changze outside at a glance, smiled and joked: "Look, your guy is here, I told you, he will definitely come to pick you up."
Jiang Wanqing also guessed that Ji Changze would come to pick her up.
But when he looked up and saw the man on the horse smiling at him, he was still pleasantly surprised.
The smile on her face became a little more joyful, and she said to her friend: "Then I will leave first, so don't worry. My husband said that my parents-in-law are from farmers, and my brothers and sisters are still young. When I get to Hu County, I will be the one to come." In charge of the house, I thought that if I could bring up such a kind-hearted husband, my parents-in-law must also be good people and they would not make things difficult for me."
"As long as you feel confident, go ahead and remember to write to me."
Mrs. Zheng reluctantly said goodbye to her.
Under the gaze of many ladies and girls, Jiang Wanqing lifted up her skirt and walked down the steps, all the way to Ji Changze.
Ji Changze got off his horse and opened the curtain of the sedan behind him in front of everyone. He watched his wife enter before getting back on the horse.
The bearer started to move forward with the sedan, and Ji Changze sat on the horse and walked slowly in a protective posture on the sedan.
Jiang Wanqing opened the curtain and looked behind.
She originally wanted to take a look at Mrs. Zheng, but she didn't miss the envious gazes of the ladies and girls.
Deep in my heart, I was filled with huge pride and happiness in an instant.
After lowering the curtain, her husband's voice asked her warmly outside: "We are leaving tomorrow. Don't be afraid. My parents are both very good-natured. You will definitely get along well."
Jiang Wanqing smiled slightly in the sedan chair.
He replied: "I'm not afraid."
With her husband here, what else should she be afraid of
Now, although she still cannot read some words, she can already read the account books clearly, and has learned how to manage the affairs of the mansion. She has also learned all the etiquette during this period.
Her husband loves her and is willing to protect her.
She really couldn't think of anything else she could be afraid of.
She can't always rely on her husband to support her. He also has his own things to take care of. She will never show cowardice and let him worry about his family while he goes to the capital.
Being filial to her parents-in-law, taking care of her younger siblings, and managing the house's internal affairs are all things she is sure to do well.
Her husband helped her straighten her back, but she would never bend it down again.
*****
After settling the matter in the northwest city, the house was sealed for the time being, leaving only one gatekeeper. The rest of the people, who had prostitution contracts, took them to the waterway with them.
Ji Changze was surrounded by guards, and he was in a big boat, and no water bandits without eyes ran into him along the way.
We arrived in Huxian County smoothly.
Seeing that they were about to arrive in Huxian, Ji Changze first sent someone on a boat to Huxian's home to inform them that they were coming back soon.
Ji's father and mother are getting younger and younger now.
Even after Ji Changze went to Northwest City, he kept writing letters to them. They were illiterate, but the children below could read them out.
They knew that their son had picked up his daughter-in-law from one of her friends, they also knew that their daughter-in-law was pregnant, and they also knew that their son had been recommended to be an official.
One by one, they are all good things.
The children below are also obedient and sensible. Those who go to school go to school, and those who follow their husband in the mansion learn from him.
I also made friends.
Seeing that they were wearing brand new clothes, their faces were rosy, and they had gained some weight on their bodies. They were no longer as skinny as before. The sadness on their faces had long since disappeared, and they were happy every day. .
Every day when they open their eyes, the couple always think that this may be the life of gods.
But now, their eldest son is coming with his eldest daughter-in-law.
There is also a grandson or granddaughter in her belly.
The couple excitedly came to the door to guard the door. The three boys were all in school, and the two girls were there, so they came together.
Ji Changze was sitting on the horse and Jiang Wanqing was in the sedan.
They were not marching for a war this time, so they didn't need to worry about repairs. Northwest City was fairly close to Hu County, and they traveled by water. It only took more than half a month to get there.
Fortunately, Jiang Wanqing didn't get seasick, and the baby in her belly slept well. When she got bored on the boat, Ji Changze taught her how to read and write.
Then think about what to do when you go to the capital.
Just like that, when they arrived in Hu County, Ji Changze immediately got on his horse and escorted him next to the sedan chair.
This group of people is still very obvious.
After all, Hu County is poor. Although many merchants will come here because it is near the water, the merchants are all civilians and will not bring any guards.
Look at this noble man who has just entered the city. He is accompanied by twenty guards who look like strong soldiers and cavalry in armor. There are five carriages behind him, and they are also accompanied by people who are better dressed than ordinary people like them. There are many dressed girls and boys.
Look at this rule, these girls and boys actually move their feet in the same direction every time.
Whose nobleman is this
The people were curious, because the guards did not dare to come forward, so they could only hide and watch quietly from a distance.
They didn't realize it until the motorcade stopped in front of Ji's house.
It turned out to be from the Ji family.
The Ji family had heard that their eldest son was working in the military. When he got rich, he brought his parents, younger siblings, to the county to take good care of them.
I didn't expect him to be so promising.
Neither Ji's father nor Ji's mother expected that the battle for Ji Changze's return would be so big.
They were a little shocked when they looked at the guards and the girls and boys following the carriage.
Ji Changze got off his horse and helped Jiang Wanqing out of the sedan.
The couple came forward to pay homage to their parents.
"Father, mother, my child is unfilial. I have been away from home for a long time, but I have not been able to be filial to you and my two elders."
"Get up, get up."
How could the two elders blame their eldest son
If he hadn't come back soon, the family would have been separated long ago.
Ji's father looked at Ji Changze, but Ji's mother's eyes fell on Jiang Wanqing.
After seeing this, she nodded with satisfaction.
Jiang Wanqing still has a child in her belly, so it is difficult for her to apply makeup, but she is still young and has not suffered any hardship since she was brought home by Ji Changze. Her face is rosy and her complexion is fair. After a good life, her eyebrows are very smooth. Standing there, he looked very graceful.
Ji's mother had thought that Jiang Wanqing would be a woman similar to those in their village. She made up her mind to be a good mother-in-law. After all, it was this daughter-in-law who saved Nagasawa's life.
But now, looking at Jiang Wanqing's appearance and temperament, she was actually no worse than the wives from wealthy families she had met during this period.
"My daughter-in-law, Ms. Jiang, has met her father-in-law and her mother-in-law."
Jiang Wanqing stepped forward and saluted.
Ji's mother quickly helped her up: "Get up, get up, my good child, but thank you for your hard work. You are running around with Changze, and you are still pregnant with the child."
After all, it was the first time to meet her parents-in-law, and Jiang Wanqing was still a little uneasy.
I didn't expect Ji's mother to be so kind.
Ji's mother was originally from the village. Even though she became a wife during this period, she still had some village habits that she couldn't change. Jiang Wanqing herself also grew up in the village. Seeing her like this, she felt closer to her in her heart.
The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law got along well with each other, and Ji Changze touched the heads of the two sisters who were looking at him eagerly.
Wen Sheng said: "I have to go to the capital. Your sister-in-law is pregnant and can't accompany me. I will stay in the house from now on. Go and see your sister-in-law. She knows a lot of things and can teach you."
Wuya and Liuya obediently stepped forward to greet Jiang Wanqing.
They are still young and small in stature. When they look at people, Wuya is curious and Liuya is ignorant. Their appearance has been developed over time, and they are somewhat similar to Ji Changze.
Jiang Wanqing already liked girls, but when she saw that they looked similar to her elder brother, she immediately fell in love with them, and her eyes showed her fondness.
The family successfully reunited, and things moved into the house one after another.
Ji's mother then remembered and asked her son: "Nagaze, are these people from our family?"
"Mother, these are all those who have signed the contract of sale. I didn't choose too many servants when I arranged them in the past, just because I was afraid that the slaves would bully the master and you wouldn't be able to suppress them. Now that my wife is here, it doesn't hurt to have more servants and girls in the house."
Ji Mu looked at Jiang Wanqing, who was standing there talking to someone with a big belly.
Although his tone was gentle and his words were harmonious, he was very methodical.
"First move the things in, take out all the books in the boxes and dry them in the sun, and wash the clothes again. Tell the lady doing the laundry that they will have to work harder these days, and double the monthly money. These girls and boys are setting up the house. Where is the housekeeper? Is he still fainting? Let Dr. Liu take a look. When the housekeeper has rested, ask him to give me the list of servants in the house. By the way, there is also... "
Ji Changze stood beside Ji's mother with a smile, supported her and asked: "Mom, what do you think of my daughter-in-law? When we were in Northwest City, many wives from wealthy families praised her. Now that I am going to the capital, there are My wife is taking care of you in the house, so you can feel more at ease."
Ji's mother was still stunned. After hearing what her son said, she also thought this daughter-in-law was good.
Although it was not quite the soft and gentle person she imagined.
But it would be good if she could help her son.
After settling Jiang Wanqing, she specially invited Mrs. Wen, and told her three younger brothers one by one to remember to take care of the house when she was away. She also asked her two younger sisters to learn management from Jiang Wanqing's sister-in-law. Home affairs.
After everything was settled, Ji Changze could go to the capital with peace of mind.
But before leaving, I felt a little sorry for Jiang Wanqing.
"When you were just pregnant, I wasn't with you. Now that you're pregnant and you're going to give birth in a few months, I'm still not with you."
Jiang Wanqing thought clearly: "I know you have me in your heart, and it doesn't matter whether I am around or not. My parents-in-law love me, my brothers are good, and my two sisters are now following me and learning to take care of the housework. Master is also in the house, so when I give birth, I don’t have to worry about anything."
She held her husband's hand and said, "It's you, please be careful in the capital. I will keep an eye on this home for you and wait for you to come back."
Ji Changze looked at her and nodded seriously.
"I will come back as soon as possible. At least I will be with you when you give birth."
Jiang Wanqing didn't take this sentence to heart.
There were only a few months left for her to give birth, and she had to travel from Hu County to the capital. If she rushed quickly, she could arrive in less than ten days, but Ji Changze was an official, and he would come back as soon as he could.
Jiang Wanqing is not afraid that no one will accompany her during the birth. She just wants her husband to be safe.
Ji Changze embarked on the journey again.
Only this time, he no longer went to fight for his family, but to fight.
Ji Changze quickly took root in the court.
He was someone who was remembered by the emperor, and with the help of military advisors, in the past two months, although it seemed to be tepid, there was actually a lot of planning behind the scenes.
General Hou successfully fought back the Zhao State. Not counting the fight back, he also took away three of the opponent's cities.
He can show off his power very well.
It was rare that the military advisor allowed him to drink. General Hou ate meat and drank wine, and said excitedly: "Now that I have beaten the Zhao country like this, I am just waiting for your majesty to call me to the capital. That second prince is really bullying me!" I didn’t dare to face him before, but now that you are here, I’m still afraid of a ghost!!”
"Just wait and see, I will definitely go to Beijing and make a plan to make all the disgusting things he did before come to light!"
The military advisor drank in silence and said nothing.
When the news came that he had won the battle, His Majesty was really overjoyed and sent someone to tell General Hou to come back and give him a reward.
General Hou was not idle all the way.
He was exercising his strong and strong body, and he was trying hard to resist the urge to doze off and read military books, trying to develop an IQ that could compete with the second prince in the ring.
From time to time, I would talk to myself, practicing how to retort if I encountered an enemy who liked beeping.
When he reached the heel of the imperial city, he felt that he had achieved great success.
You can go and confront the eldest prince.
This guy, forget about all the things he did in the past, even if he tried to get in his way, he acted so boldly that he even stretched out his hand on military pay.
If he hadn't paid for it out of his own pocket, I don't know how many soldiers would have died by then.
Pooh! !
He will definitely fight against this evil force to the end! !
When General Hou entered the capital, he first went to his general's residence to wash up, change his clothes, and prepare to wait for His Majesty to call him into the city.
With his hair still wet, when he opened the door and went out, he saw Ji Changze, whom he hadn't seen for several months, sitting opposite the military advisor.
When they saw him coming out, they both motioned for him to sit over.
General Hou stepped forward boldly, knelt down, and said with a serious face: "I have thought it through. Anyway, now that I have won the battle, the eldest prince also regards me as a thorn in his side. I can't do it unless I get rid of him. You two must do it." Help me."
The military advisor smiled and picked up the tea cup to drink tea without saying anything.
General Hou: "Let's go to the court and report the eldest prince's collaboration with the enemy."
Ji Changze: "Three days ago, His Majesty knew about this matter. Not only this, he also knew about the relationship between the eldest prince and a concubine in the palace. He was so angry that he was secretly imprisoned in the palace."
General Hou, who is trying to show off his ambitions: "..."
"Ah... I see, that's it, but it doesn't matter. The second prince also has a grudge against me. Mr. Ji, you don't know. It turns out that the plague in Bucheng was deliberately caused by the second prince. He went to ask famous doctors, prayed to gods, and prayed to Buddha. He gave away rice and grain just for a good reputation, causing many people to die in vain, and he also hoarded soldiers and horses, so he clearly had disloyal intentions."
Ji Changze: "Yesterday, the second prince learned that he had dealings with Zhao Guo. The news has been delivered to the emperor. He has already deployed troops and horses. He will rebel and break into the palace tonight."
General Hou: "..."
The military advisor smiled and patted his cousin on the shoulder: "Okay, the general is just waiting for help."
"But...how could..."
Ji Changze: "Why does he know? Of course I sent someone to tell him."
The military advisor asked: "Did you really deliver the message?"
"No, but the Second Prince thought it would be fine if I handed it over."
He poured a cup of tea for the confused General Hou.
General Hou: "...Then I won't do anything?"
"Of course not. General, just keep it straight."
When the young prince succeeds to the throne, the more frank General Hou becomes, the more at ease the ministers in the court will be, and the more stable the country will be.
General Hou: "..."
He translated.
This means, let him continue to be stupid.
