Hurried to the imperial study of Ganlu Palace with Wei Zhongxian, and saw Emperor Yan standing in front of the window with his hands in his hands, quietly pondering something. Seeing Emperor Yan's focused expression, Ji Qingchen knew that Emperor Yan had been waiting for him for a long time, so he immediately stepped forward to give a salute. Emperor Yan didn't look back, didn't let him get up, but asked in a cold tone, "Do you know what the duties of the Dao Metropolitan Procuratorate are?" ”

"The Dayan Metropolitan Procuratorate specializes in correcting the impeachment of the Hundred Divisions, identifying the wrongs, and supervising the various provinces, which is the division of the Son of Heaven's ears, eyes, and discipline. All ministers who are treacherous and evil, villains who form a party, and who are powerful and disruptive will be impeached. Anyone who is obscene and corrupt in official discipline shall be impeached. Those who are not academically correct, and who write and say that they become chaotic and become constitutional, and those who hope to use them will be impeached. In the event of a period of pilgrimage, investigation, and the deposition of the same officials and the Ministry of Justice. The heavy prisoners of the big prison will be in the outer court, and the criminal department and Dali will be peaceful. They serve the hinterland, follow the outside world, and act in their own way. Although he didn't understand what Emperor Yan asked to ask himself this question, Ji Qingchen still explained the duties of the Metropolitan Procuratorate to Emperor Yan word for word like an endorsement.

Through Ji Qingchen's narration, it can be seen how much power the imperial history of the Dayan Metropolitan Procuratorate is, and all the officials will be inspected by the Ministry of Officials, and the major prisons will be combined with the Ministry of Criminal Affairs and Dali Temple. The other government offices are divided into thirteen supervision and imperial history inspections. So this is also the real reason why the imperial history grade is the second grade in the Imperial Palace, and it can be on an equal footing with the six Shangshu.

"Yes, they're my eyes, ears, and discipline." Emperor Yan said coldly, "Since you know so well, why do you want to be blatantly arrogant and arrogant, and dare to lead the cavalry battalion to show off your might on the streets of King's Landing?" Last time, I said that you should not bring the bad habit of leaving the country to the capital to King's Landing, and don't rely on your status as a prince to indulge and act recklessly, and be a noble son who only knows how to walk birds and fight cocks. What do you see you've done now? Dare to bring thousands of Xiao cavalry camps to the restaurant to eat, drink and have fun, and dare to lead the Xiao cavalry camp to ride horses and gallop on Suzaku Street. Is this how you trained me to be a good soldier? Do you just swear that you will not disappoint my expectations of you? ”

Listening to Emperor Yan's angry reprimand, Ji Qingchen knew that Lu Dao was so anxious that his father would summon him so anxiously, it turned out that there was a royal history who impeached him about letting the Xiao Cavalry Camp eat at the Chang'an Restaurant at noon. Just hearing the tone of Emperor Yan's words, his body kneeling in the imperial study began to chill a little, because from his father's words, he could hear that this anger was from the heart, mixed with a faint disappointment. However, he also knew from the content of his father's words that the content of the impeachment was false, and there were many slanders and frames in it, and even crimes that he wanted to add. However, he did not defend himself, but chose to remain silent.

"Why don't you speak? Don't you want to defend yourself? Emperor Yan was a little puzzled by his son's silence.

"Back to my father, it is true that the sons led the cavalry camp to the restaurant for dinner yesterday, and the sons do not need to defend this. As for the others, the sons and daughters hurt people, were arrogant and arrogant, and showed off their might, these are all crimes that they want to add, and the sons do not want to defend themselves. Ji Qingchen said neither humbly nor arrogantly.

"Hmph-" Emperor Yan snorted coldly, "Do you think that the imperial history of the Imperial Court of the Imperial Court will frame you?" ”

"It's not that they will frame their sons, it's that they have already framed their sons, and they want to continue to frame their sons in the future." Ji Qingchen said righteously. He felt that these false and slanderous words against him were so false and could not withstand scrutiny, and his father would definitely distinguish between right and wrong, and he would not easily believe it.

"Shut up—you rebel." Emperor Yan was furious and asked sharply, "What kind of attitude do you have?" Has my Imperial Court become an institution dedicated to framing you and slandering you? ”

I didn't expect that I just told the truth, which would anger my father, which Ji Qingchen didn't expect, seeing the gloomy color flashing in Emperor Yan's eyes, he could only lower his head and didn't dare to speak again.

"Your Majesty is angry, His Royal Highness the Ninth was speechless just now, and please let His Majesty dissipate his anger." Seeing this, Wei Zhongxian hurriedly spoke out to persuade Emperor Yan. In fact, he was also very surprised by Ji Qingchen's abnormal performance just now, because before he came, he told Ji Qingchen that His Majesty was in a bad mood and asked him to be cautious.

"Don't get up on your knees and talk!" Being persuaded by Wei Zhongxian like this, Emperor Yan's anger disappeared a lot.

"Thank you, Father!" Ji Qingchen got up and thanked him.

"You have to remember that no matter whether the soldiers in the cavalry camp are the children of the family or the children of the commoners, first of all, they are the soldiers of Dayan, the tigers who defend Dayan, and secondly, your robes, the brothers who fight the world with you. So no matter what their status is, you have to treat them equally, and you can't favor one over the other. Emperor Yan turned around and said.

"Thank you for your father's teaching, my son knows that he is wrong!" Hearing Emperor Yan's explanation, Ji Qingchen realized that he had misunderstood his father's meaning and immediately admitted his mistake. Because he heard from Emperor Yan's mouth that Emperor Yan was not angry for the impeachment of Yushi, but because he was angry about what he did inappropriately in letting more than 1,000 people in the Xiaoqi camp eat in the restaurant.

"This is a copy of the national letter from Lingnan, what do you think, tell me your opinion." Emperor Yan handed him a purple brocade scroll.

Respectfully took the brocade scroll with both hands, carefully read the above contents, handed the brocade scroll to Wei Zhongxian on the side, and brewed his emotions for a while, Ji Qingchen said, "Father, the son thinks that he can't get along and can't marry the princess." ”

"Why?" Emperor Yan asked.

"Some time ago, the Lingnan ethnic groups invaded the border of Yizhou, just a strategy of theirs, the purpose is for this paper and the letter of pro, they want to use troops to Dayan Yizhou some time ago, want to pressure Dayan to make peace with them, the purpose is to test the bottom line of Dayan, want to see if Dayan will use troops against them, as long as the father agrees to their peace requirements, it will expose our Dayan's gentle policy towards the Lingnan Yi people, and will make them clear about Dayan's bottom line, I am afraid that they will put forward more stringent conditions at that time." Ji Qingchen calmly analyzed.

"I think so too, and I think that it is not only the Lingnan Yi people in southern Xinjiang who are close to Dayan, this time Donghuang sent a mission to King's Landing together with Xishu and Lingnan, and I guess they also want to make peace with Dayan. It's just that Xishu and Donghuang suddenly sent envoys together with Lingnan this time, indicating that they have reached some kind of agreement in private, and they don't want to stop until they achieve their goal, if I refuse them, I'm afraid it will cause a war! Emperor Yan sighed and expressed the worries in his heart, "The new monarch has just succeeded to the throne, and the domestic political situation is unstable, so the northwest border can not worry." But Rong Di in the Northeast, since Ashina three years ago? Nuhachi had been recuperating for three years since he was killed in battle, and they had long been eager to avenge him. If you want us to start a war with the Lingnan Yi tribe, Beirong will inevitably go south again, and since Xishu and Donghuang have an agreement with the Lingnan Yi tribe, they will definitely not remain neutral as before, and at that time, Dayan will definitely be attacked on all sides, and the situation will be very worrying!

"What does Father mean?" Ji Qingchen asked.

Since Emperor Yan had already spoken out about the disadvantages and gains and losses of not being in harmony with Lingnan, he didn't want to express his opinions stubbornly on this issue, because he himself didn't know how to face this crisis when Da Yan was attacked from all sides if he really started a war with Lingnan.

"The opinion of the political hall is to promise to make peace with Lingnan, stabilize the Lingnan Yi tribe and the Western Shu and Eastern Wilderness, and then find a way to break up the Triple Alliance, focus on the northeast, and make every effort to deal with Rong Di's southward movement again. The opinion of the Privy Council is that the Lingnan Yi people are not to be worried, and the Western Shu and Eastern Wilderness are only strong and middle-class, and the Three Kingdoms can't afford to make any big waves, and they think that marrying the princess will lose face and should be refused. Emperor Yan said, "I am also in a dilemma and hesitate. ”

Ji Qingchen remained silent!

It's a dilemma. Because as long as the war does not start, no one knows the strength or weakness of the Lingnan Yi tribe and the Western Shu and Eastern Wilderness, so how can they judge that a war between the Three Kingdoms and Dayan can threaten the safety of Dayan Sheji?

"What? Do you also think it's a dilemma? Emperor Yan asked coldly in his tone.

"Father, the sons are thinking, this time Lingnan, Xishu and Donghuang jointly sent a mission to King's Landing, the reason why they dared to use threats to get benefits from Dayan, is there a connection with Beirong?" Ji Qingchen pondered for a moment and said.

"What do you mean?" Emperor Yan stared at Ji Qingchen with sharp eyes and asked.

"What Erchen means is that the Three Kingdoms have reached some kind of agreement with Beirong, wanting to provoke Dayan to send troops against them, attract Dayan's attention to them, and give Beirong a good chance to invade Dayan?" Ji Qingchen analyzed.

"Are you saying that this is a ploy set up by the Three Kingdoms and Beirong, but in fact, they have reached some kind of agreement, and they have already formed an alliance and are ready to fight against Dayan together?" Emperor Yan obviously thought of such a result, so as soon as Ji Qingchen said his guess, he said the meaning of Ji Qingchen's words.

"Yes!" Ji Qingchen nodded and said, "It's just a guess from this son." ”

"Whether it's speculation or the truth, the enemy that Dayan will face in the future will definitely be stronger and more dangerous." Emperor Yan said lightly, "So in order not to have any trouble with the Three Kingdoms Mission in King's Landing this time, I want you to assist Honglu Temple and the Ministry of Rites to do the task of receiving the Three Kingdoms Mission." ”

"Let Me ——?" Emperor Yan's will surprised Ji Qingchen, he couldn't believe that his father would give him such a heavy responsibility as soon as he returned to China.

"Yes, it's you, mainly Honglu Temple and the Ministry of Rites, you are only assisting the Ministry of Rites and Honglu Temple, but Ye Qingchen is your uncle, and with him by your side to guide you, I believe that you can complete this task excellently." Emperor Yan said undoubtedly.

Although Emperor Yan said so in his words, let Ji Qingchen assist, but let a prince assist Honglu Temple and the Ministry of Rites, with the shrewdness of the officials of Honglu Temple and the Ministry of Rites, how could they not know the current affairs and let Ji Qingchen assist them, and they would definitely assist Ji Qingchen when the time came. So Ji Qingchen also thought of this meaning, and then thought of the menacing envoys of the Three Kingdoms this time, he didn't want to cause any trouble in this matter, so he wanted to refuse, but when he thought that Jun had no jokes, he could only receive the order and thank him.

"Then retreat! Later, I will issue an order to Honglu Temple and the Ministry of Rites, but you must not live up to my expectations again this time! Emperor Yan said.

"No! Sons and daughters retire! Ji Qingchen received the order and bowed down and exited the imperial study.
