Ji Zeyu said lightly: "The Holy One declares."
"You! What's your attitude!" Li Qitian was furious and kicked Ji Zeyu again.
Ji Zeyu was kicked and fell to the ground again, and his handsome and unparalleled face was still expressionless.
"These days, I only think that you and I are of one mind, promote you everywhere, and entrust you with important responsibilities. I ask myself that I treat you well, but what about you? Is this how you repay my trust!"
Just letting Li Qitian vent his emotions, scolding and kicking several times, Li Qitian finally got tired and breathed heavily.
Ji Zeyu knelt properly and said, "Sacred Lord, the reason why this minister does this is indeed for the sake of His Majesty."
Li Qitian pointed at Ji Zeyu, nodded angrily and said: "Okay, then tell me, what is your reason! If what you say is reasonable, I will not mention this matter, if you are sophistry... Do you really have to be me when you are me!"
Ji Zeyu lowered his head and said, "The minister didn't think so. There are so many talents in Dazhou, and the people of the sage have what they want, so why is it necessary for the minister? There are two reasons why the minister does this. First, the current court situation is really not It is appropriate to take down Pang Zhixi. The Tartars are eyeing the tiger, and foreign troubles are coming, how can we be worried about the internal troubles? First, work together to resist the foreign enemies, and after everything is stable, we will close the door to solve the internal troubles.
"Second, although the Hu Ben army obeys my command, those people were once Pang Zhixi's people. If one day they need to move, they are always a hidden danger. It is better to take this opportunity to stabilize Pang Zhixi, and let the sage have a chance. Justified reasons to replace Pang Zhixi's people in important positions. Isn't this killing two birds with one stone?"
Ji Zeyu is usually not good at words, and he doesn't often say so many words in one breath. It is rare for him to speak once, and Li Qitian listens very carefully.
He didn't say a word after kicking Ji Zeyu so many feet just now. Li Qitian has already calmed down a lot. Now, listening to Ji Zeyu's analysis of the reasons, Li Qitian smacked it carefully, and he couldn't help but feel a little bit of approval.
Today's defeat in the courtroom has made Li Qitian realize that he has indeed acted too hastily this time. Not only did he fail to take down Pang Xiao in one fell swoop, but it also had a very negative impact on his reputation outside. The contradiction between the two has intensified, and now there is only a thin layer of face to support the trouble. If Pang Xiao leads his troops to rebel now, he will find an excuse.
Pang Xiao's reputation among the people has always been very high, and his appeal in the army is even more unparalleled. The Tartars are now trying their best to invade the south, and have already expressed their intention to invade the south so clearly, if at this time Pang Xiao forced him out of Da Zhou, and joined hands with Utkin Khan to deal with Da Zhou...
When Li Qitian thought about it this way, he was already sweating profusely. I can't help but agree with Ji Zeyu's approach.
At least now, the generals in the Hu Ben army who are dedicated to Pang Xiao have successfully won six people. He can replace all six of them with his own henchmen. At that time, the Hu Ben army will be completely out of Pang Xiao's grasp. At least he thinks If they rebel, they will definitely choose the Tiger Ben Army that he has led for many years, and they will definitely not move the North Longchung Army.
And Ji Zeyu was originally the god of war admired by thousands of people in the Longxiang army. Now that he can control the Huben army firmly, the military power in the world is already under his own control. When Pang Xiao is taken down in the future, if Ji Zeyu has a different opinion, it is better for him to deal with such a person. It is better than worrying that Pang Xiao and Ji Zeyu will unite against him at any time now.
Thinking of this, Li Qitian sighed and supported Ji Zeyu with both hands.
Ji Zeyu seems to have been kicked by him, and half of his shoulders are a little stiff. Although his face is still the same, and his expression can't be seen in the slightest, Li Qitian can already see the clues from his actions, and he can't help feeling a little guilty.
"Don't mind Aiqing, I'm also in a hurry for a while to do this."
Ji Zeyu was busy to salute again, "The hard-hearted minister of the Holy One understands that you must not do this."
How could Li Qitian let him kneel again, help him up again, deliberately avoid the affairs of the court and gossip with Ji Zeyu, and finally asked: "Anyang has not seen the palace these days to greet the mother, the mother previously I've been asking for a while."
Ji Zeyu lowered his eyes and said, "The eldest princess has not passed on the ministers to see her these days, but there are many ... many caring attendants in the eldest princess' mansion. She should have a very happy life."
As soon as Li Qitian heard it, he immediately understood. He still knows how pampered his sister is. Anyang's character is stubborn and coquettish, and he is the only one who wants Ji Zeyu to marry her. Although most of them are out of political considerations, if you look at it from an outsider's point of view, they are not. In addition, since Li Helan was hit by Ji Zeyu while playing with Mrs. Lu's face, Ji Zeyu seems to have given up on this marriage, and Li Helan is now more and more reckless, and has started to raise her face in the princess' mansion. .
Li Qitian is busy with court affairs, where is he in the mood to give Li Helan consideration for everything? Seeing that the Queen Mother doesn't care about this, of course she won't interrupt herself, so to this day, Li Helan's romantic reputation has become a well-known secret.
Li Qitian said a little embarrassedly: "Forget it, if you like it, I will send you a few gentle and sweet palace servants to serve you, and I will talk about her in Anyang."
Ji Zeyu hurriedly saluted when he heard the words: "Thank you for your concern, I have no intention of this matter."
When the emperor wants to arrange beauties for his concubine, it is really surprising to say that. Most people who are still the master will only ask that concubines and concubines are not allowed. Li Qitian and Ji Zeyu Here, Li Qitian offered to send a woman to Ji Zeyu, which shows how important Ji Zeyu is to Li Qitian today.
Ji Zeyu stayed in the palace and talked to Li Qitian for a while. Li Qitian said: "This time you did a good job and took care of the overall situation. I will reward you with a hundred taels of gold and a sword, which will be delivered to you later. At the Concubine's House."
Ji Zeyu lowered his eyes and kowtowed to thank him.
Li Qitian's high-profile reward, in the eyes of others, will definitely have several meanings, and those who stand on Pang Xiao's side will definitely think that he must have done something shameful for the sage.
But so what
Ji Zeyu's expression is still light, and he always does things by his own heart. As long as he thinks it is right, he will not consider the rest of the consequences.

At this time in the Qin mansion, Qin Yining met Sun, and the mother and daughter both stood in front of the gate and cried. When the mother and daughter reunited, all the female relatives were moved - except for the old lady and Qin Huining.
Qin Huaiyuan led Pang Xiao inside together with the second and third masters, and asked people to prepare dinner, and the second lady stepped forward and persuaded: "Sister-in-law, Sister Yi is not coming back safely. Now not only is everyone fine, but also pregnant, don't just focus on seeing your daughter crying with joy, and ignore Sister Yi's body."
Hearing this, Mrs Sun immediately nodded and took Qin Yining's hand: "Yes, yes, look at me, I forgot about this, your father told me, how do you feel now?"
Qin Yining wiped her tears with her sleeve and said helplessly, "Mother, I'm fine."
"Okay, okay, then let's go inside and talk."
The family happily entered the house. Qin Huaiyuan brought his brothers and nephews to talk with Pang Xiao in the front hall over tea, while the female relatives went directly to the inner house and took their seats in the front hall
The old lady has been ill for a few times and lost a lot of weight. The wrinkles and ravines on her face have become more profound.
She hasn't recovered from the shock yet.
Why was Qin Yining kidnapped by the Tartars once, and not only came back unscathed, but was even pregnant? She stared at Qin Yining with skeptical eyes, as if she was trying to see something from her unpredictable belly.
Really
Or is she too thin, and the months are actually more, but she can't knock them out
Is this kid really Pang Xiao's
Thinking of this, the old lady was taken aback by her own thoughts.
Pang Xiao is such an evil star, if he knew that the child Qin Yining was carrying was not his, he would have to chop up the Qin family and feed the dog!
When the old lady thought this way, her face turned pale when she was about to be frightened. Thinking of Qin Yining waved her hand, she called her to come over: "Sister Yi, come here quickly, grandma will talk to you."
If Qin Yining didn't know what filthy things the old lady was doing behind her back, and she still wanted to put Eighth Young Lady and Qin Huining in Pang Xiao's concubine while she was away, she might be able to smile at the old lady now. But the old lady's actions really made her feel very cold.
Qin Yining was out of face, and also considered that Miss Eight was not the kind of girl with a bad nature, and she also took into account her face, so she didn't mock her face to face, but gave the old lady a blank expression. Reluctantly, he walked over slowly, not sitting beside the old lady, but standing and answering.
"Old lady."
Seeing her indifferent appearance, the fire in the old lady's heart rushed up.
If it wasn't for this little hoof, why would the eldest son, who has always been closest to her, have torn his face with her
The old lady is an elder and naturally has her own pride. I want to get close to Qin Huaiyuan, but my son seems to have a grudge against her. She couldn't open her face to take the initiative to please.
Now that she saw the culprit that caused the conflict between her and her eldest son, although the old lady told herself rationally that this granddaughter was a princess, not an ordinary girl, she was still a little out of control emotionally, and the corner of her mouth was smiling. Split out.
"Did it go well this time? Did something happen on the way?"
Qin Yining said lightly: "Old lady, don't worry, nothing happened, and the granddaughter is fine."
"Oh, then how did I just hear that the sage is going to blame the prince at the grand meeting?" The old lady's tone was very gossip.
Hearing this, Qin Yining immediately lowered his face and said sharply: "Old lady, it's best not to talk nonsense like this, it will easily bring disaster to the family. The sage is very fond of the lord, and this time I have been given the title of super first-rank. As a sign of comfort, if the old lady's words come into the ears of the Holy One, I am afraid it will make people feel cold."
