Quick Wear: After the spare tire awakens, the official partner is sacrificed to the heaven
Chapter 599 First Encounter (6)
In July, natural disasters struck.
There was no rain for three whole months, causing all the crops in the fields to die and the people to suffer terribly.
At this time, the State of Chu took advantage of the State of Jiang's unpreparedness and launched a surprise attack, causing the State of Jiang to lose six cities in a row.
The emperor was furious and scolded the coach Zhang Peng, then fell ill.
All the adult princes in the court were not in the capital, only the little prince was left.
However, the little prince is not old enough to take charge of the government.
In an instant, the court was in chaos.
Seeing that the old emperor was bedridden, several princes gritted their teeth and began to secretly rebel.
Among them, the third and fourth princes were the most prominent.
The third prince's fiefdom is close to the sea and has a developed economy, while the fourth prince's fiefdom is small but has a rugged terrain, making it easy to defend but difficult to attack.
The two princes had already made plans, and took advantage of the chaos to directly seize the cities around their fiefdoms.
Amidst this internal strife and chaos, Jiang Zui continued to farm quietly.
Corn and sweet potatoes had already been planted in the fields.
When new food crops were first planted, people were very resistant.
It was only after Jiang Zui forced the people to plant the crops that they reluctantly started.
However, Jiang Zui once assured the people that if there was no grain production, Jiang Zui would compensate them with double the grain.
Now, the people are all convinced of Jiang Zui.
Elsewhere, natural disasters resulted in a total harvest failure.
However, Minzhou had a good harvest.
Although the harvest of crops such as corn and sweet potatoes was small due to the drought, it was still better than in previous years.
During the harvest period, Jiang Zui and Ji Guimu inspected the fields.
Along the way, people were heard praising Jiang Zui.
"My Lord, this year is all thanks to you."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
"My Lord, it's great to have you in Minzhou."
……
Seeing that everyone admired Jiang Zui, Ji Guimu said jokingly, "Your Highness, the people have all remembered your concern for them.
Look, that lady wants to introduce a girl to you."
Jiang Zui glanced at Ji Guimu dimly and said coldly, "Why? You want to urge me to get married too?"
"Of course not!" Ji Guimu retorted subconsciously.
He just wanted Jiang Zui to like him.
Then, Ji Guimu changed the subject and said, "Your Highness, when will you start your army?
We are all ready.”
Jiang Zui said calmly: "No rush."
"Wait until after the autumn harvest."
Ji Guimu stared at Jiang Zui, thought for a long time, and asked softly: "Your Highness, if the great event is accomplished, can Your Highness forget the person in your heart?"
Hearing this, Jiang Zui's eyes flashed with surprise, then he curled his lips and smiled, his eyes full of nostalgia, and replied: "No."
The person in his heart is his wife, how could he forget?
Jiang Zui's voice was firm, which made Ji Guimu feel lost. He hung his head, looking depressed, with a wry smile on his face, and said with emotion: "Does Your Highness like his sweetheart that much?"
"Jia Jia is the only person I have ever loved in my heart. The position he holds in my heart is incomparable to anyone else. Gui Mu, do you understand?" Jiang Zui said seriously to Ji Gui Mu.
Ji Guimu showed a hint of self-mockery at the corner of his mouth, nodded and replied, "I understand."
Just like I like him.

After the autumn harvest, Jiang Zui declared himself king.
In just half a year, Jiang Zui recruited soldiers and wiped out all the bandits near Minzhou, and gathered a lot of talented people.
In addition, his uncle, the prime minister, was also secretly helping him in the court.
Relying on advanced weapons, stored food and professionally trained soldiers, Jiang Zui captured Jeju, Yuzhou, Qinzhou and other places next to Minzhou in just two months.
For a time, Jiang Zui's name resounded throughout the Jiang Kingdom and surrounding countries.
Jiang Zui's army was unstoppable, and with abundant supplies, the people flocked to Minzhou to seek refuge.
The second prince’s fiefdom is very close to Jiang Zui’s fiefdom.
The second prince was the first to surrender to Jiang Zui.
Upon seeing this, the Third Prince and the Fourth Prince put aside their hostility and joined forces to fight against Jiang Zui.
Unexpectedly, the third prince and the fourth prince united on the surface, but were playing tricks behind the scenes.
The Third Prince launched a surprise attack on the Fourth Prince, causing heavy losses to the Fourth Prince's army.
The third prince took the opportunity to attack the capital, thinking that the throne was within his grasp.
But unexpectedly, while the mantis stalks the cicada, the oriole is behind.
The prime minister had already brought the commander of the imperial guards into Jiang Zui's camp.
The 30,000 imperial guards in the capital and the 70,000 soldiers under Jiang Zui joined forces to surround the third prince and strangled him on the spot.
After the death of the third prince, the fourth prince was vulnerable and was quickly subdued by Jiang Zui.
Soon, the entire Jiang Kingdom fell into Jiang Zui's hands.
During this period, small forces from all over Jiang State flocked to Jiang Zui.
The emperor watched his sons kill each other in a life-and-death struggle. When he saw Jiang Zui win in the end, he actually forced Jiang Zui to hand over his power.
Jiang Zui burst out laughing, "Father, are you sure?"
The emperor leaned on the dragon throne, his face pale, his deep eyes full of ruthlessness, pretending to be calm on the surface and said: "Jiang Zui, you are still the emperor of Jiang State."
"The king doesn't mind killing his father." Jiang Zui answered casually.
Hearing this, the emperor was furious, "Jiang Zui, you are so bold!"
"If I had no courage, I think my father would be lingering in some corner right now."
Ever since the emperor fell seriously ill and was bedridden, the court has been guarded by the prime minister.
The emperor's most beloved woman would only cry and complain to the emperor, complaining about this and that.
As for the emperor's most beloved son, the little prince could only watch the show from the audience and didn't even have the chance to go on stage.
"Father, the Jiang Kingdom is now my kingdom.
I also ask the emperor to know the current situation and issue an edict of abdication." He paused and said, "Otherwise, don't blame me for being ruthless."
"Jiang Zui, what do you want to do?!" the emperor shouted angrily.
"Father, I will only give you one stick of incense to think it over. If you still haven't issued an edict after that,
Then I will send my brother and the imperial concubine down to accompany you first."
"you dare?!"
"Father, you may give it a try."
After hearing this, the emperor obediently presented the abdication edict.
Unfortunately, Jiang Zui never leaves any hidden dangers for himself when doing things.
After receiving the imperial edict, Jiang Zui quickly and efficiently dealt with the imperial concubine and the little prince.
Looking at his son and woman dying in front of him, the emperor fainted in one breath and died.
All the officials in the court were convinced by Jiang Zui.
After Jiang Zui quelled the civil unrest in Jiang, he rested for two years.
Afterwards, he turned his attention to the State of Chu.
