The Eternal Beauty of the City of Wealth

Ji Ge replied, "Father, it's a marriage with the city lord's son or princess."

Ji Kuan's eyes lit up after hearing this: "Great! Very good! If I can become a royal relative of Fugui City, why should I be afraid of Zizhi and the others!"

"Yes! Father, I think so too. If the marriage is successful, I beg Your Majesty to send troops to help you regain the throne!"

"Okay! Ge'er! If father can regain the throne, I will immediately anoint you the crown prince!"

Ji Ge was overjoyed after hearing this and immediately knelt down and kowtowed: "Thank you, father!"

Ji Kuan helped his son up and said, "Tomorrow your father will go to the palace with you for the banquet."

"Just based on my father's old face, City Lord Zixuan will definitely show some respect."

The arrival of his son immediately awakened Ji Kuan's idea of ​​returning to the country to seize the throne.

He pulled his two children to sit on the sofa: "Ge'er, Zhen'er!"

"Until Father is restored to the throne, you should not return to Yan State. Move to the villa and live with Father and Grandmother!"

The two nodded happily: "Okay, Father! Thank you very much, Father!"

The next day, Ji Kuan received an invitation from the palace, inviting him to attend a dinner to entertain the Yan State delegation in the evening.

He was very happy in his heart. It seemed that City Lord Zixuan still valued him very much.

At five o'clock in the afternoon, the delegation arrived at the imperial kitchen on time, and Zixuan brought his children to the blind date.

When young people get together, they always have endless topics to talk about. Gongzi Ge and his sister were not shy and they understood the purpose of their visit.

As a result, they quickly became friends with the princes and princesses and chatted animatedly.

Ji Kuan was very pleased to see that her two children were so smart and well-behaved, and she got drunk without realizing it.

In the following year, the princes and princesses of various vassal states settled down in Fugui City.

They all became good friends with Zixuan's children.

We eat together, play ball, play with mobile phones, watch movies, and go on picnics every day.

Seeing that the time was right, Zixuan held a group wedding for them.

She also expanded the palace with more than a hundred villas. She liked the hustle and bustle and didn't want her children to be too far away from her.

Zixu and Ziye brought their little boy Ziji back to Fugui City to attend their younger brother and sister's wedding.

When Queen Zixuan and Boyuan saw their chubby grandson, they immediately smiled from ear to ear.

At this time, Ziji is already over one year old, and is at the age of being very cute.

Zixuan held his grandson in his arms and loved him so much that he refused to let go.

Bo Yuan was afraid of tiring his wife, so he quickly forced her to hold him and said, "Xuan'er, let your husband hold you. Don't tire yourself out!"

Zi Xu and his wife were very envious of their parents who still loved each other as before.

I secretly made up my mind that I must learn from them, love each other for the rest of my life, and never let each other down!

A year later, Zixuan and Boyuan were drinking tea and chatting when a palace maid came to report that Ji Kuan and his son wanted to see them.

Zixuan immediately invited them in, and the two of them immediately knelt down on the ground when they saw Zixuan.

Ji Kuan said, "City Lord Zixuan, Ji Kuan and Ge'er have come to ask for something."

Zixuan quickly helped the two of them up and said, "Prince Yan, there's no need to be so polite. Please speak!"

Ji Kuan bowed deeply again and said, "My father and I beg you to send troops to help us reclaim the throne!"

Zixuan lowered his head and thought about it. He had promised Ji Kuan before.

As soon as he had the chance, he wrote to the King of Qi, asking the princes to send troops to jointly attack the State of Yan and send him back to his country to restore his throne.

Now that the Prince of Yan has become his relative, he should help him.

She nodded and said, "Okay! I will report this to the King of Qi right away!"

"Please ask him to invite all the vassal states to jointly attack Yan and send you back to your country to restore your throne!"

The father and son were overjoyed and knelt down again to kowtow and express their gratitude.

After seeing off the Ji father and son, Zixuan went to the study and wrote two letters.

One letter was addressed to Duke Jing of Qi, and the other was sent to the State of Jin.

After receiving the letter, Duke Jing of Qi immediately convened a meeting in front of the emperor.

When the eunuch finished reading the letter from Zixuan, the ministers immediately began to discuss:

"Didn't City Lord Zixuan refuse to participate in the conflicts between the vassal states?

Why should I take the initiative to submit a memorial this time, asking the king to invite the vassal states to jointly attack Yan...

You may not know this yet, but now Yansui Jian Gong has become Zixuan's relative, how can I not help him...

That’s right, the relationship between the children and the in-laws is so close, I have to help them…

Duke Jing of Qi looked at the ministers below who were discussing the matter and coughed softly. "My dear ministers, what do you think should be done about this matter?"

A minister stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, I think it is inappropriate for Great Qi to invite the other princes to attack Yan!"

Duke Jing of Qi looked at him unhappily and thought to himself, you are such a blind man, you don't even know that Zixuan is my sister!

He asked in a cold tone, "What do you mean, my dear?"

The minister bowed deeply and said, "Your Majesty, Qi and the hegemonic Jin have always been at odds with each other."

"Two years ago, the princes attacked Qi and suffered heavy losses and indemnity."

"Jin and the other states must have harbored a grudge. I'm afraid they won't accept the king's invitation."

"Wouldn't it be shameful for the king to be rejected and ridiculed by the world?"

After hearing this, some ministers nodded repeatedly: "Yes, yes..."

Duke Jing of Qi was at a loss again, and he looked at Yan Ying.

Seeing that Yan Ying was resting with his eyes closed, he immediately called out softly, "Prime Minister, Prime Minister."

"Oh! Your Majesty!" Yan Ying quickly opened his eyes and bowed.

Duke Jing of Qi looked at him helplessly and asked, "Prime Minister, how do you think this matter should be resolved?"

"Your Majesty, I have a different opinion. Since Zixuan inherited the title, he has never asked Qi for anything. Instead, he has been helping us."

"Especially during the National Defense War two years ago, if it weren't for City Lord Zixuan, I'm afraid our Great Qi would have perished long ago!"

Yes! Duke Jing of Qi nodded repeatedly after hearing this. It is Yan Zi who understands me best!

Yan Ying continued, "If you don't help me with this, the other states will come and attack me in the future."

"City Lord Zixuan will definitely stand by and watch, and by then, wouldn't Great Qi be in danger?"

The ministers suddenly realized what was going on and shouted in unison: "We second the motion... We second the motion..."

Good! Duke Jing of Qi slammed the table and said, "Since all the ministers have no objection, I will immediately send an envoy to Jin!"

After receiving Zixuan's letter, Duke Ping of Jin did not dare to delay and hurriedly discussed the matter with his ministers.

After hearing this, most of the ministers disagreed, believing that Zixuan had caused Jin to suffer heavy casualties and pay compensation.

This led to the depletion of Jin's treasury and the gradual decline of its national strength. How could it unite with the vassal states to help his relative return to the country and restore his position?

Duke Ping of Jin was also very conflicted. If he helped Zixuan, his ministers would not agree.

If he didn't help, he was afraid that Zixuan would be angry and lead his troops to destroy him. Just when he was in a dilemma, the envoy from Qi arrived.

The envoy said that as long as Jin was willing to unite with the princes to attack Yan, Qi was willing to respect Jin as the overlord.

The ministers were speechless after hearing this. What does it mean that Qi is willing to respect Jin as the overlord?

This means that Qi, the second largest state in the world, has given up its fight for hegemony and is willing to submit and become a younger brother.

From then on, Jin became the true world hegemon.

This opportunity must not be missed, so Duke Ping of Jin exchanged views with his ministers again.

Finally, they unanimously decided to accept the invitation of Duke Jing of Qi and unite the vassal states to attack the State of Yan.
