I don't think I'll survive this year

"...Your Majesty?" came a soft call from the lower part.

Ji Huaizhi suddenly came back to his senses, adjusted his expression, and looked down, "Is there anything else?"

"Reporting to Your Majesty, the success of this investigation is thanks to the cooperation of Princess Li." Liu Ping said after considering, "The relationship between Princess Li and King Li is estranged, and everyone in the capital knows it. I don't know. I think..."

Ji Huai frowned, and asked quickly: "If I remember correctly, Princess Li... is that orphan girl from the Xiao family?"

"Yes."

After hearing this sentence, Ji Huaizhi didn't hesitate, he immediately waved his hand and said, "Forgive me."

In fact, don't say that Princess Li has contributed to this investigation, as long as she didn't directly participate in these cases of King Li, Ji Huaizhi would not implicate her in the crime.

One is that Ji Huaizhi is not very interested in Zhulian; the other is that all the members of the Xiao family died fighting for the country. What does this orphan girl do.

Ji Huai supported his forehead wearily, and sighed, "If there is nothing wrong, just step back."

……

In the evening, Zhao Yuan walked slowly with the little princess in her arms. Li Fu, who was standing at the entrance of the hall, seemed to see a savior, and rushed up to greet her, "Empress, I hope you are here!"

"Eunuch Li?" Seeing that it was him, Zhao Yuan couldn't help but be puzzled, and asked in confusion, "You are not waiting in front of His Majesty, why are you here guarding?"

She turned her head and looked at the tightly closed palace door. It was dark inside, without even a light of fire, and she couldn't help frowning: "What's your majesty's trouble?"

"This..." Although Ji Huaizhi never kept Zhao Yuan's secrets about the matter of the previous dynasty, it was one thing that Ji Huaizhi was willing to say, but it was another thing for things to leak out of his slave's mouth. So Li Fu had no choice but to prevaricate, "The slave doesn't know very well...it's just...Your Majesty has locked himself in it from the beginning, not to mention eating, not even drinking...Your Majesty, look ..."

Zhao Yuan frowned, and was about to open the door to enter, when the little princess in her arms started to cry... This child seldom cried since he was born, but once he did cry, he was full of spirit, earth-shattering, Let alone a door, it can be heard clearly even across a room-just hearing this voice, I thought it was a kid.

Ji Huaizhi's hoarse voice came from the hall, "Is it Yuanyuan and Yaohua here?"

As he said that, the door of the palace was pushed open from inside, Ji Huai couldn't get out, so he went to Zhao Yuan's side, took the child over with ease, and coaxed the child while shaking: "Yaohua don't cry, father comes and hugs."

Before Ji Huai could check whether the child had urinated or was hungry, Ji Yaohua had already stopped crying, and stared straight at Ji Huai with teary eyes.

Ji Huai shook his head and laughed, "Could it be that you miss your father?"

Naturally, it was impossible for Ji Yaohua to answer his question, but Zhao Yuan who was on the side smiled and said, "I don't think so. I haven't seen her father all day, and this is the first time since she was born."

Ji Huai smiled and patted her cheek, lowered his voice and said, "Father was wrong, I won't dare to do it again next time."

Ji Yaohua thought it was just playing with her, and happily vomited a big bubble, then turned his head and wiped the saliva on Ji Huaizhi's face.Zhao Yuan hurriedly raised the handkerchief to wipe it off, Ji Huaizhi leaned over her slightly, tilted his head, and said, dumbfounded: "...you little heartless."

After such a turmoil, the previous haze in Ji Huaizhi's heart gradually dissipated - after all, this person cannot always live in the past.

……

In the winter of the eighth year of Shaode, King Li and all his henchmen all obeyed the law; on that day, Princess Xiao Xian hanged herself in the Palace of King Li.

Ever since he ascended the throne, the boulder that had weighed on his head was removed, but Ji Huaizhi didn't feel any relief... On the contrary, some other weight was added to his heart.

Fortunately, the little princess Ji Yaohua was there, and Ji Huaizhi was deeply involved in the ups and downs of raising a baby. Although he was in a hurry, he would not fall into any overly depressed emotions.

……

In the same year, the construction of the Kaizhou Canal was completed. The emperor was overjoyed and hosted a banquet in the Taihe Palace to entertain the ministers. He also set up another department in the Ministry of Industry to specialize in water conservancy. The chief doctor was the newly appointed Nanle County Lord.

When Ji Huaizhi ordered the establishment of this "Water Conservancy Department" and appointed Xue Ning as a doctor, it can be said that he was worried, and he was ready for temporary concessions and compromises, and then he was prepared for a long-term struggle.

After all, the bureaucratic system of the Wei Dynasty has not been changed much since the opening of the dynasty. Ji Huaizhi didn't say anything in advance, and added such a department suddenly, and he knew it would be contradicted; The head of the department is still a woman - Ji Huaizhi can only imagine what kind of uproar will be caused by this decree.

If Chen Changsi hadn't returned to Beijing, he wouldn't have dared to mess around like this.

Compared to Ji Huaizhi, who looked like he was facing a great enemy, Chen Changsi was much more relaxed. She comforted her softly, "Your Majesty, don't worry so much. In the past, Emperor Xiao was weak, and his mother, the Empress Dowager Zhou, did all the affairs of the court. The female officer under her, "Mrs. Wende", has no name as a prime minister, but she has the status of a prime minister. Now, she is only a fifth-rank doctor. Although there are objections in the court, if your majesty insists, she will not think about it. What a big disturbance."

Ji Huai listened straight, and couldn't help but sighed deeply, not being comforted by these words at all.

——Who is that Empress Dowager Zhou?That's a great man who fought the world together with □□, half of the great Wei's country was led by her troops... Ji Huaizhi really felt that it was a pity that this master did not become an empress.

What's more, such an amazing Queen Mother Zhou, her confidant Mrs. Wende, upon closer inspection, is just a female official in the palace, not a former position...

However, no matter what happens, this decree still has to be made - Chen Changsi can't just let Xue Ning go with him every time the water conservancy is repaired, right?

Even if Chen Changsi is willing, he is not willing... Once this person leaves, his workload will not only increase exponentially.

……

With things in mind, it is easy to dream at night.

It was still pitch black outside, but Ji Huaizhi suddenly opened his eyes, turned over and sat up, panting deeply, "Huh—huh—"

Zhao Yuan beside him was startled by his movement, and opened her eyes in a daze, "...Your Majesty?"

Ji Huaizhi took a quick breath, smiled at her, "It's nothing...go on to sleep..." Zhao Yuan was not fully awake at first, when she heard Ji Huaizhi's words, she responded lightly, closed her eyes and fell asleep again.

Ji Huaizhi dismissed the night watchman who just came to him, and then he had time to wipe the cold sweat from his forehead.

——Yang Wentong, that bastard, has never done anything good!If he hadn't kept mentioning "dead remonstrance" and the like, wouldn't he be having nightmares!

A piece of blood, even the brains came out... The blood was so bloody that it made people sick, and Ji Huaizhi felt a layer of goose bumps on his back when he recalled it for a while.

After this commotion, Ji Huaizhi lost sleepiness, glanced at the hourglass beside him, and it was almost morning time.He simply got off the bed lightly, put on his court clothes and went directly to Fengtian Hall.

Just a few steps after Luanjia arrived at the front hall, he ran into a patrolling imperial army team, which happened to be headed by Xu Ailing, the temporary commander of the imperial army.

Everyone asked about Anbi, but Ji Huaizhi suddenly remembered something, and called Xu Ai who was about to leave, "Go find a dozen...not thirty people, those with stronger strength, and go to Fengtian Hall to guard in a while, I have something to do Let me tell them."

Although Xu Ai didn't understand Ji Huaizhi, he still responded straightforwardly: "Yes!"

After a stick of incense, inside the Fengtian Hall.

Ji Huai looked around at the imperial guards who surrounded the center of the hall, and the corner of his mouth twitched...

The imperial guards were originally the elite guarding the palace city, coupled with Yang Wentong's relentless practice over the years, not to mention, the basic skills are all first-class and solid, all of them are tall and strong, with fierce eyes, they look quite intimidating Li... Standing around the main hall, it actually made Fengtian Hall look like a gangster's den.

The vigor of the nightmare in the morning hadn't passed yet, seeing this scene, Ji Huaizhi couldn't help but write another note to Yang Wentong - what bloody soldiers did you bring!One by one, you can become a king if you find a mountain top!

However, time was running out after all, and Ji Huaizhi didn't have time to pursue these details. He looked around for a week and shouted: "When I go to court later, if I see someone trying to hit a wall or a pillar, I must stop him!"

"Yes!" Ji Huaizhi only felt that the chair he was sitting on trembled a little at the sound of the answer, and this kind of momentum made him somewhat relieved, but... rewards and punishments are still needed.

"If one of them is not stopped, all of you here will get [-] boards per person!" Ji Huai kept his voice down and stared at them one by one.

After looking around, he relaxed his tone again, and said with a smile, "On the contrary, as long as one is stopped, no matter how big the position is, I will allow him to be promoted to a higher level..."

As soon as he finished speaking, Xu Ai, who had brought the people over, moved two steps silently, pushed the guard beside him away from his position, and then took the lead without any sense of disobedience, "Thank you, Your Majesty, Long En! "

The corner of Ji Huaizhi's mouth twitched: ...Who are these people!Sure enough, what is the boss and what is the deputy!This thick skin is also a true biography of Yang Wentong!

……

In the early court, someone really raised objections to this matter.

"The minister has his own play." As soon as the old minister opened his mouth, the guards in the palace all focused their eyes on him, and there was undisguised eagerness in their eyes. The old minister immediately broke out in cold sweat, and paused when the words reached his mouth. Retirement gradually arises in my heart.

However, since the words of "Zuzao" have been heard from above, he can only bite the bullet and continue, "Your Majesty recently decreed to set up another department in the Ministry of Industry. I think this is very inappropriate. The Great Wei Dynasty Since the founding of the country, the system has been practiced for more than a hundred years, and there has been no major change. There have been words..."

Seeing the eyes of the group of guards turning on him, but the leader Ji Huaizhi didn't intend to stop him at all, the old minister became more and more uncertain.

"Not to mention what a noble place this court is! How can women be tolerated..." He was talking agitatedly, when he suddenly caught a glimpse of several guards moving slightly from the corner of his eye, as if they were about to pounce on him.The old minister was shocked immediately, and suddenly slowed down his tone, "This... this woman's participation in the court affairs is not a state of stability for the country..."

This old bone of his doesn't need to be taken down by this group of people, it just needs to be pushed by one person to fall apart... The root of his tongue was bitter, and he couldn't help secretly complaining to himself: knowing that His Majesty has always been tough in his office, why did he do this? .

The veteran changed and changed the speech he had prepared, trying not to make the emperor feel too much offended. Under the stares of all the guards, every word became very difficult.

——Such a difficult interview, he probably will never have it again in his life!

"...This is my humble opinion, Your Majesty Wanwang think twice." After finishing the last sentence, the old minister actually felt a little relieved.

In this early court, Ji Huaizhi had already prepared for a tough battle, so it was not surprising that he was raised with these objections, but the euphemistic tone of this old minister was far beyond his expectations, he thought he would receive a paragraph An impassioned statement, or a heartrending statement.

Although he was a little surprised, Ji Huaizhi still nodded with his expression unchanged, motioned him to back down, and asked in a loud voice: "Then, what do you think about this matter?"

As soon as the question was finished, another person came forward and saluted, "I think Master Zheng's words are reasonable..."

……

Although the establishment of the "Water Conservancy Division" was approved by some and opposed by others, the whole morning was full of opposition to Xue Ning's appointment as a doctor.

But the tactful tone and friendly attitude gave Ji Huaizhi a little illusion that this matter is easy to do...

If this had been according to his original idea and his will, there would have been a torrential downpour of lightning and thunder, and if the situation was worse, hailstorms were also possible.

As a result...it rained, but it was a dense drizzle, the kind that didn't matter if you didn't hold an umbrella.

This made Ji Huaizhi feel aggrieved that he had accumulated all his strength but had no place to use it.
