Dai Li, listening to the tone of the rice delivery boy, couldn't help but chuckle in his heart, and asked tremblingly, "Could it be that this is the last meal?" ”

As soon as the little girl heard it, he knew that Mr. Dai had misunderstood, and hurriedly explained: "No, it's just that you are going to see a big man, and you can't delay it now, so you can only leave quickly." ”

Although they had already arrived in the capital, in order to avoid Dai Li's identity being exposed, they only chose a slightly ordinary inn, which was still a long way away from the imperial city, so they naturally had to set off quickly, and they couldn't let the big guys wait.

Hearing what the little guy said, Dai Li calmed down, and after hurriedly eating two bites, he followed behind the little guy.

However, along the way, he was still a little uneasy in his heart. I don't know who I want to meet, which big man is, what if he wants to kill himself at that time?

Then he might as well live this life of being imprisoned, so that he has a stutter, and maybe in a few days he will be able to practice and make something, wouldn't it be better?

The more he thought about it, the more he resisted the big man he wanted to see later.

It's a pity that now he doesn't have a choice.

Qi Yuan originally planned to go to see the Dai family by himself, but when he met Gu Yu, who had something to report, he could only ask Yin Qingqi to arrange for the Dai family to enter the palace and meet directly in the palace.

When Gu Yu came to Kunning Palace, Qi Yuan sat outside the dormitory and met him.

"Your Majesty, the minister has something to ask for."

Qi Yuan glanced at Gu Yu, took a sip of tea, didn't answer, just let Gu Yu sit down and talk.

Yin Qingqi was reading a book on the kang, and when she heard Gu Yu's undisguised voice, she raised her eyebrows and put the book down. helped Xia Ju out, but she didn't plan to stay for a while, but planned to leave.

"See the mother."

"Excuse me."

Yin Qingqi replied casually, and then said to Qi Yuan: "Today's weather is good, the concubine went to the courtyard to bask in the sun." ”

Qi Yuan nodded, and did not stop him, Gu Yu also bowed down to send Yin Qingqi away.

When these words were interrupted, Gu Yu hesitated a little and didn't know whether to continue.

"What did you just say? What are you looking for? ”

"If you go back to the emperor, the minister wants to ask Ying, so go to the Japanese country to negotiate first."

Hearing the emperor take the initiative to mention what happened just now, Gu Yu stubbornly said his words more clearly, now is indeed his opportunity, there are not many people who know about the affairs of the Wa Kingdom, counting Wu Anhou, there are only himself and Lin Xin, if he can't grasp the opportunity this time and fight for a future for himself, it is really useless.

"Oh? Why is that? This matter is not too anxious, it is the Spring Festival now, and I asked you to send it out at this time, but I am afraid that the Dingguo Guild will complain about me. ”

Qi Yuan glanced at Gu Yu again, and said without being salty or light.

Gu Yu immediately knelt down, kowtowed to Qi Yuan and said, "Your Majesty, you should know that the minister and the Dingguo Gong family are not harmonious, they are jealous that I became the prince of Dingguo at a young age, and they feel that the minister's uncle's family is not very glorious, and they have long wanted to remove me."

If it weren't for the emperor...... Uncle, you help, I'm afraid that it will be difficult to have Gu Yu's now, now, I want to do this errand well, in exchange for your grace, let me return to my mother's surname, serve as the lintel of the British duke, and never occupy a penny of the Duke of Dingguo. ”

Qi Yuan smiled and did not speak.

The scene immediately cooled down, Gu Yu knelt on the ground, and there was no other movement, it was like wrestling with a wrestler, whoever moved first would lose.

After a long time, Qi Yuan said: "Okay, the British family is the hero of my Celestial Empire, but it's a pity that there is no heir left until now, you have this heart, it's not bad, but forget about changing your surname, you are the eldest grandson of the Gu family, how can this be changed casually, I will consider the matter of knighthood." ”

"Yes, thank the emperor for his grace."

Qi Yuan stood up, paced two more steps in the hall and said, "Okay, you can prepare immediately and go to the Wa Kingdom." ”

"Yes, the minister."

Qi Yuan originally planned to delay it until the New Year, but if this is the case, I am afraid that there will be changes at that time.

Now that it is the New Year, the envoys of various countries have close contacts, and when the time comes, there will be no Wa Guo alone, and it is difficult to guarantee that people with a heart will not go to investigate the current situation of the Wa State.

Even if the Wa Kingdom only had land borders with the Celestial Empire and was surrounded by the sea, it was difficult to guarantee that the Wa Kingdom would not be able to walk from the sea.

He didn't make up his mind before, just because there was no suitable candidate, but now that Gu Yu took the initiative to ask Ying, he naturally had to give him a chance.

After Yin Qingqi saw Gu Yu leave, he came back.

"You're not going to see Dai Li? He should have entered the palace by this time. ”

"Well, let him wait."

Qi Yuan was silent for a while and asked, "You say, after the Lantern Festival, who should be the general?" ”

Yin Qingqi pondered for a moment and said: "The best candidate to implement is naturally Wu Anhou, he is good at water warfare, and has dealt with the Wa State for many years, as for the other soldiers, although they are brave, they lack experience. ”

Qi Yuan also thought so, which is why he obviously had evidence of Wu Anhou's crime, but he didn't do anything to him, just because once he was killed, he was afraid that it would make the soldiers stationed in Haikou feel cold.

"It's better to leave this question to Lin Xin."

"Huh?"

Qi Yuan looked at Yin Qingqi and waited for her to continue. Yin Qingqi smiled skillfully, and then said: "Lin Xin is also involved in the affairs of the Japanese Kingdom, in my opinion, although he is young, he is worthy of being a national soldier, although he is a little unruly, but if he can be subdued, it will be a great help to our Celestial Empire." ”

"I think so too, but will he be able to handle the heavy responsibility?"

"This matter is naturally still an exam question for him, why don't we start with Hou Shizi of Wu'an? If he can't solve the problem, he will use the prince of Wu'anhou to blackmail Wu'anhou, the tiger still doesn't eat his son, and he wants to come to Wu'anhou for such a person, and he won't let his son fall into a state of embarrassment. ”

Qi Yuan nodded, and thought of what to do, with the firearms and cannons in his hand, he was not worried at all about not being able to subdue the Wa Kingdom.

All he lacks now is time.

"Well, Qingqi, pack up the four palaces and come out, I will canonize a few concubines in a few days, and as for the title and ceremony, I will leave it to you to preside. But I don't want you to work so hard, it's just a pity that I still have to deal with them for a while. ”

"yes, okay."

Yin Qingqi smiled, Qi Yuan's momentum came back a little, which made Yin Qingqi feel a little happy and a little melancholy, these days, Qi Yuan was too good to herself, and the good ones made her feel like falling into a honey pot, which made her very trance.

only felt that she was the happiest woman in the world, but later, she faintly felt uncomfortable, and the two of them grinded their ears and temples every day, and there would be a time when they would get tired of it.

And now Qi Yuan used this sweet cage in order to keep himself in the palace, although he could trap himself for a while, he could only get farther and farther away from him.

"It's time for you to go see Dai Li."
