"Guo Jia, the first staff member of Daqi, has met Prime Minister Fan, and this staff member wants to give the territory of the five countries as a meeting gift for the lord. Prime Minister Fan Cheng was surprised!

Haha, in three months, this staff member will raise a glass with the prime minister......"

This is the beginning of the secret letter, and when Fan Zhongyan saw this, he was already smiling brightly.

The following paragraph is naturally about how they cooperate with his performance.

After Fan Zhongyan read the secret letter, he burned it directly, and then wrote another secret letter to Bai Qi, Cao Yu, Zhao Zilong, and Fang Xuanling, asking people to send it out quickly.

"Enter the palace!"

After doing all this, Fan Zhongyan immediately entered the palace to see Ji Jing.

When Fan Zhongyan arrived at the palace, Ji Jing happened to come back from the Ministry of Works.

The victory did not disappoint him, and the steam engine was almost completed, and the final assembly and testing were just off.

However, if you want to really build it completely, it will take more than a month, and it is estimated that it will not be able to catch up with this war.

It's a bit disappointing, but it's expected.

After Ji Jing encouraged the public to win, he returned to the palace.

Fan Zhongyan: "Meet the lord." ”

"No need to be polite, so anxious to see me, did you think of a countermeasure?"

Ji Jing looked at Fan Zhongyan and asked with an expectant look in his eyes.

"Back to the lord, the countermeasures are not enough, but after the ministers have discussed. I felt the need to paralyze the agents of the Five Kingdoms, and then divide the Five Nations to sabotage the coalition forces. Fan Zhongyan said slowly.

"How?" Ji Jing suddenly became interested, and what Fan Zhongyan said seemed to have some truth.

If the relations between the five countries can be divided, it will naturally be of great benefit to the situation in the Great Zhou.

"First of all, let the secret agents of the five countries know that the lord has given up resistance and has given up on himself. Then use the details of the Great Zhou to stir up the relationship between the five countries to achieve the effect of discord. ”

"The reason why the five countries were able to join forces to resist the Zhou was because they were threatened by the Great Zhou. If the expansion of the Great Zhou is not stopped, they will also face the situation of losing their country. ”

"But once there is no threat in the Great Zhou, they will definitely have different intentions. Among the five countries, Qi is the strongest, and the other four countries will not want to raise Qi into another 'Great Zhou'. ”

Fan Zhongyan talked eloquently, with a confident look.

Ji Jing, who knows the history of China, deeply agrees with Fan Zhongyan's remarks.

For a country, there are no permanent friends, only eternal interests.

Because of the common interests, the five countries can reach an agreement and work together to cut down the Zhou.

Once there is no threat from the Great Zhou, the five countries will definitely intrigue for their own interests, and even the alliance of the five countries will fall apart.

"Okay, then according to what you said, what I am best at is to play in the mountains and rivers and give up on myself." Ji Jing smiled, and his originally heavy heart suddenly brightened up a lot.

Fan Zhongyan did not tell Guo Jia about it, not that he deliberately concealed the lord.

It's Guo Jia's request, he wants to give the lord a big surprise!

Guo Jia also said at the end of the secret letter, if he dared to tell the lord, he would not be finished with him.

Thinking that Guo Jia was going to finish with him, Fan Zhongyan had a headache.

Anyway, the lord should like Guo Jia's 'big surprise', so he simply won't talk about it.

As for asking the lord to do nothing, it is also part of Guo Jia's plan.

"What do you think about the people's petition?" Ji Jing asked.

When Ji Jing came out of the Ministry of Industry, he got the fact that the people petitioned to go to the battlefield and serve the country.

And most of them are old men in the armor, who know that it is almost impossible to come back alive from the battlefield, but they still do not hesitate.

Aren't they afraid of death?

No!!

They are afraid of death, but for the sake of the country they love and the emperor they support, they would rather exchange their lives for the peace of the country and the people!

Ji Jing's heart was not moved, it was fake, he just gave Da Zhou's widows, sick and weak a little benefit, and they repaid it with their lives.

At the same time, he was more deeply aware of the burden on his shoulders.

His fate and the fate of the Great Zhou have long been linked, only with him can there be a country, only with a country can there be a home, and only with a family can you live and work in peace and contentment.

"The matter of the people's petition, the minister thought so, recruited an old man to join the construction of the 'Ling Canal' project, and the young one enlisted in the army. Whether it is now or in the future, recruitment is imperative, and it is just this opportunity to implement recruitment. Fan Zhongyan said his thoughts, and before, he had arranged for the Ministry of War to start registration

"Exactly." Ji Jing immediately agreed.

Subsequently, Fan Zhongyan discussed some important matters with Ji Jing, including the imperial examination, and left after half an hour.

……

Ji Jing took Xiao Guizi out of the palace and came to the street.

Compared with the excitement of the past, today is a lot more depressed, pedestrians are hurrying, and the air seems to be a lot more depressed.

The people are talking about the news that the million-strong army of the five countries is pressing the border, and General Zhao Zilong is seriously ill.

This kind of important national military newspaper is not allowed to be easily disseminated, but I don't know how, and now it is known all over the city.

What made Ji Jing more relieved was that although the people were heavy in their hearts, there was no chaos. And from time to time, some people went in the direction of the military department, asking to enlist in the army to defend the country.

Ji Jing took Xiao Guizi to the most famous Qinglou 'Baihualou' in the Western Capital.

Today's 'Baihualou' has a lot fewer people looking for flowers and willows, and many girls are idle.

Seeing Ji Jing come in, the girls also lost their enthusiasm in the past, and only a few girls came towards them.

"Little Guizi, reward." Ji Jing laughed.

Since you have to give up on yourself, you naturally have to act as an actor.

With the reward, the girl is a lot more enthusiastic.

"Master, what do you think of me? The slave family can play and sing anything. ”

"Master, all the slaves she knows will know, and the slaves have white skin."

"Master, you go to me! You can come as you want. ”

……

The girls tugged at Ji Jing, hoping that Ji Jing would take a fancy to them.

"Call your bustard, I want you to be the best girl here, money is not a problem! Haha~~"

"Yo, you're here! Today, our top girls are all here, and you can give them all. The old bustard, dressed in a bewitching manner, shook an embroidered fan and walked over with a smile on his face.

Seeing the old bustard coming, the girls let go of Ji Jing and stood around, their eyes full of hope.

When the old bustard saw Ji Jing's appearance clearly, he was instantly shocked, and the smile on his face immediately retracted, and he knelt down on Ji Jing's knees with a pop.

"Slave Bigui knocks to see Your Majesty! Long live Your Majesty, long live, long live! ”

The old bustard shouted loudly while kowtowing.

"What's the situation?"

Looking at the old bustard who bowed, Ji Jing was suddenly confused.

Did he have the words 'I am the emperor' written on his face?

The other girls were also stunned, the other party was actually the emperor??

"What are you doing? Don't kneel yet! ”

Seeing that the girls were still standing, the old bustard suddenly shouted angrily.

Only then did the girls react, knelt down in a panic, and shouted: Bow to Your Majesty, long live.

"Get up." Ji Jing's eyes were speechless, this old bustard's eyes were really poisonous.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Only then did the old bustard dare to get up, he didn't dare to look at Ji Jing squarely, and respectfully waited on the side.

Only then did the girls get up, and each of them stood with serious expressions, not daring to make any sound.

"Call the best girl, you are indispensable for Yinliang." Ji Jing said slowly to the old bustard.

Hearing this, the old bustard knelt down again.

Although I don't know why the bustard knelt again, the girls also knelt down with Puff.

"Your Majesty forgives your sins. Several of the top brothers went to enlist in the army, and they all went to see them off. So ......"

Ji Jing: "......"
