Dressed as a family of cannon fodder, the villain brother is busy opening up wasteland

The Japanese envoys were left alone at the post station for several days. Just when they were getting anxious, the emperor finally sent someone to convey his order and summon them to an audience.

The envoys who came to seek peace this time, except for Kojiro who was sent as a hostage, were the two ministers who accompanied him. After meeting the emperor and taking the letters of credence given by this side, they were sent back. After that, only Kojiro was left in the capital.

However, on the way to Beijing, Datou had already told Kojiro that as long as he stayed in Annan honestly and peacefully, they would protect him.

Originally, Kojiro was worried, but when he arrived in the capital and learned about the court of Annan from the people at the post station, Kojiro felt relieved. It seemed that one of those young men was the legitimate son of the King of Annan, just like him.

The only difference is that she is favored. Although she was not born to the Queen, she was raised by the Queen and is highly valued by His Majesty Annan.

In contrast, although he is also a legitimate son, he is just an abandoned son.

He followed the people into the palace with a nervous mood, met the King of Annan, and witnessed the power of Annan. Their palace was magnificent, which was incomparable to their Japanese country. The courtiers in the hall were all energetic, and the generals were even more powerful. How could his uncles think that they dared to provoke such a powerful country?

Thinking of the promise that the young man had made to him, Kojiro's palms tightened unconsciously. At this moment, he knew very well in his heart that as long as he was an obedient hostage and an obedient ruler when he returned in the future, Annan would always keep him safe.

If he had any disloyal thoughts, even just the slightest bit, their country of Japan would probably cease to exist.

When the emperor saw these people from Japan, he frowned at their strange attire, and the courtiers in the court were talking about them.

It’s a pity that the Japanese couldn’t understand what they were saying.

Several people performed their Japanese etiquette to the emperor, speaking in Japanese, and the emperor looked confused.

It was the Seventh Prince who stepped forward and took the initiative to act as an interpreter: "Father, Kojiro-kun is sending his regards to you."

The emperor looked surprised: "Xiao Qi, do you understand?"

Not to mention the emperor, even the other court officials were stunned, and the faces of the Second Prince and others turned the color of liver.

The Seventh Prince bowed and replied, "Father, I will be going with you to Japan this time."

The emperor knew that the Seventh Prince had personally followed the expedition, including the boys from the Wen family, but he still nodded in front of the court officials and praised, "Not bad, then can you speak?"

The Seventh Prince cupped his hands and said, "I understand a little bit."

The emperor then looked at Kojiro and the others, said some soothing words, and told Kojiro to stay in the capital with peace of mind, and that he would send him back to inherit the throne in the future.

The emperor looked at the Seventh Prince as he spoke, and stopped after each sentence he said, and the Seventh Prince translated it.

Only after the last sentence was spoken did Kojiro kneel down and kowtow to the emperor, imitating the Annan people's way of greeting.

"Father, he said Xie Annan's Emperor." The Seventh Prince clasped his fists.

The emperor nodded with satisfaction. As expected, after hanging out with the Wen family for a long time, Xiao Qi has become smarter and smarter.

No wonder the queen fell in love with this child.

The emperor comforted them again and then had them taken away. As for the rest of the matter, people from the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Revenue would contact them. The amount of tribute to be paid every year must be clearly written in the treaty.

The Ministry of Revenue is good at this. Even though the sheep are small, it doesn't matter whether they are big or small, as long as they can fleece the sheep, it's fine.

As for the people from the Ministry of Rites, they were there to entertain them.

But everyone was in trouble because they couldn't understand what the Japanese were saying.

Everyone looked to the Seventh Prince for help.

The emperor glanced at the Seventh Prince and said, "Seventh Prince, then you should assist the people from the Ministry of Revenue and the Ministry of Rites to handle this matter."

Under the envious gazes of the other princes, the Seventh Prince bowed respectfully: "Your son obeys your order."

After the morning court session, the emperor kept Wen Xiuyi and Prince Fu and asked them about their trip south.

They had been gone for almost a year, and although the emperor could receive the letters they sent, he had never been to the south in his life.

Prince Fu enthusiastically spoke to the emperor about the affairs of Jiazhou City and the blond-haired, blue-eyed vassal states, and what he said was extremely fascinating.

The emperor was envious again.

He wants to go!

Or, abdicate early? Then take the queen out to have more fun.

Once this idea came to mind, the emperor could no longer suppress it.

"What do you think about letting Xiaoqi be the crown prince?" In the queen's bedroom, the emperor dismissed everyone else and only left the queen to serve him, and said this as if nothing had happened.

The queen was about to pour him tea, but she almost knocked over the cup. She quickly knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, I have never intended to let Xiao Qi compete for the throne."

Oh my god, even if she had this idea, she couldn't say it at this time.

The emperor sighed, pulled her up, and let her sit down beside him. He then slowly spoke: "We have been a young couple for so many years, and I don't know what kind of person you are. You kept Xiao Qi by your side because you felt sorry for him, but you didn't expect that this child is really capable."

The queen remained silent. It would be problematic to say anything at this time, so she simply stopped talking.

The emperor added, "We are old now. I have governed this vast land, but I have never been out to see it. Moreover, since Chaoyang married and moved to Jiangnan, we have not seen her for a long time."

Thinking of her daughter, the queen's eyes became red. After all, she was their first child, the eldest princess of Annan, who had been cherished and cherished. Moreover, they did not arrange a marriage for her, but let her choose the person she liked and marry him. Now she settled in Jiangnan and lived a comfortable life.

But the distance between them was so long that they seldom saw each other again.

"I know what you are worried about. I have considered it. Now that Xiao Qi is raised under your name, he is my legitimate son. It is legitimate to make him the crown prince. Moreover, although Qiu Zhi is angry with me and refuses to serve as an official, his ability to govern the country is real. With him teaching Xiao Qi, I feel relieved."

The most important thing is that Xiaoqi has a good relationship with the children of the Wen family. No matter which one of those children, he will not be underestimated in the future. Not to mention anything else, the child that the Xie family doesn't want has the support of the Qiu family. As long as the friendship between him and Xiaoqi remains, and Xiaoqi treats the Qiu family well in the future, this will be Xiaoqi's money bag.

Let's look at the kid from the Jin family. His father, Jin Yan, didn't have much achievement in medical skills, but he was a good candidate to be a civil servant. Doctor Jin now has a disciple, Wen Jun, a genius doctor. As for himself, he has set up many schools to cultivate talents. Even if he is not a great scholar in the future, I am afraid he will have students all over the world.

Let’s not talk about the kid from the Wen family. That kid is smart. Given his friendship with Xiao Qi, Wen Xiuyi and Wen Yao will not ignore Xiao Qi.

Oh yes, and the Xia family...

From this point of view, this guy has connections in all aspects of literature, martial arts, medicine and finance.

The emperor suddenly felt a little sad. He didn't have so many people helping him at the beginning.

My son’s life is better than his.
