The matter of Beiyin is much more powerful than everyone thought.

Until it became clear that this matter was even more difficult than before, Beiyin had already laid down two more cities, connecting the previous two cities, and now there were as many as four cities in total.

Although it is said that Chen Guo has always been strong, in fact, the local area cannot be said to be the largest country.

The four cities that were lost before and after were already a very big threat and blow to Chen Guo.

If Beiyin is allowed to act recklessly like this, it is still unknown what the future will be.

And at this time, Ji Jia came back.

Ji Jia returned to the city, although it was secret, but everyone who should know knew it, and this was a signal.

That is, this time, Chen Guo should not be able to beat.

So Ji Jia came back after traveling thousands of miles like this.

The first thing Ji Jia did when he returned to the capital was to go directly to the palace to meet the emperor, which had also been a while, and the two had not met each other.

The Emperor frowned in contemplation, then looked at him, "What the hell is going on?" ”

Ji Jia knelt down, "Back to Your Majesty, the situation is indeed not good, that is, as Your Majesty knows, Beiyin must have come prepared this time, and we were caught off guard. ”

The Emperor took a deep breath, "So, what the hell is going on, you just say it, I have to listen to the truth." ”

Ji Jia lowered his head, he really didn't want to say this kind of thing, but he came back from a thousand miles of riding alone, just to talk about this with the emperor in person, after all, except for him, I am afraid that no one can say this kind of thing directly to the emperor.

"Your Majesty, Chen Guo is invincible, please surrender."

The emperor was momentarily stunned, and then sat on the dragon chair in a daze, unable to speak for a long time.

He never thought that as soon as Ji Jia came back like this, he would say directly, I'm afraid he would surrender to this matter.

He just thought that maybe this matter was really not optimistic, but it was indeed not to the point where he needed to surrender.

Ji Jia saw that the emperor didn't speak for a long time, and he knew that this matter might still make him a little unacceptable, but it was also understandable, after all, the emperor had been the emperor of a strong country for so many years, of course, it was easy to accept that his country was destined to fight this defeat.

He was silent for a while before saying, "Your Majesty, there are actually many things that we don't do well enough, but ...... I fell into someone else's trap at the beginning. ”

The emperor looked at him, "Ji Jia, after so many years, it's the first time I've had this kind of panicked feeling." ”

Ji Jia said, "Your Majesty doesn't need to panic, no matter what happens in the end, the minions will definitely accompany Your Majesty to protect Your Majesty." ”

The emperor smiled, "If the country is really broken, then what is the use of the king guarding the society since ancient times?" ”

Ji Jia lowered his head, "Your Majesty put it down, the slave thinks that Beiyin has never had such a big breath now, and dares to really enter the capital, the slave just thinks that Liu Chuchen is only afraid that the drunkard does not mean to drink." ”

The emperor frowned, "He started a war and fought like this all the way, but you said he was a drunkard?" So what is the landscape he wants? Isn't it the great mountains and rivers of the Chen country? ”

Ji Jia shook his head, "Your Majesty, the slave is just a slave to put it bluntly, in fact, he doesn't know much about military affairs or anything, but the slave knows a little, if the North Yin is clearly powerful, if it really takes advantage of the victory to pursue and take the opportunity to enter, then we are afraid that we will not have the ability to resist at all." However, Liu Chuchen is like a cat catching a mouse, obviously he caught it before, but he didn't kill it directly, but let it go, and catch it next time. ”

The emperor is a little puzzled, after all, he is not on the front line, and he can't be exhaustive about the things ahead, for the emperor, all he knows is that he has lost four cities in a row.

But Ji Jia said that this is Beiyin's hand.

"And what do you think he wants?"

"It's true that he didn't say anything now, as if he didn't want anything, so the slave dared to go back to the capital like this, and wanted to ask Your Majesty, if Beiyin opened his mouth, how many cities could His Majesty cede to him?"

The so-called 30 years of Hedong, 30 years of Hexi, things are like this in many cases, back then, Beiyin was beaten and had no ability to fight back, and he was defeated step by step, Chen Guo also gave him a way to live, and did not completely let them destroy the country.

Beiyin has endured for so many years, but I don't know how much anger I have endured, this time, Liu Chuchen is only afraid that he wants to return all the one, two, and three.

How much land can be ceded by the emperor, he himself does not know.

No king wants to surrender to an enemy, except in the absence of a choice.

The emperor didn't say anything, Ji Jia didn't ask anymore, and when he retreated, he saw Cao Tingyue waiting outside the door.

He walked out, and Cao Tingyue followed, "My father-in-law has returned to Beijing." ”

Ji Jia snorted, his tone was neither light nor serious, "I already know most of your affairs in Beijing, some of which are good and some are average." ”

At this time, there was no one around, and there were only two of them, "father and son".

Ji Jia lifted his eyelids and spoke directly, "You are sitting in Beijing, and you can even make the second prince the crown prince?" ”

This is dissatisfaction with the crown prince.

Cao Ting thought in his heart, although this queen didn't say how flattering she was to Dongchang, she didn't have too many contradictions with Dongchang, anyway, she was much better than the eldest prince.

But this can't be said like that, and I guess more language arts are needed.

"At that time...... It is true that there is no evidence to prove that the matter was not done by the eldest prince, His Majesty has already proved it in his heart, and his son cannot refute it. ”

"Even if it's really the eldest prince's doing, since ancient times, there have been countless deaths and injuries, not to mention death, what if all the people in the Second Prince's Mansion are poisoned, isn't there nothing? Just such a bitter ploy made him cheat out of the position of the crown prince, and in the future, I am afraid that he will also have a disobedient heart to His Majesty. ”

Ji Jia is Ji Jia, in fact, Cao Ting admires it more and more, after so many years, he can always maintain such loyalty, not to mention that the emperor will not be able to reuse him.

Cao Tingyue sneered in his heart, and then lowered his head, "Yes, it's my son who wants to fork." ”

However, regarding the matter of Lichu, if Dongchang participates too much, I am afraid that the previous dynasty will indeed have opinions, and there may be a lot of opinions, so Ji Jia also knows that Cao Ting is more difficult to do, he is not the governor now, and how much real authority can he have in his hands.

So Ji Jia said, "That's it, this matter is a foregone conclusion, and there is nothing to say." ”

He raised his eyebrows, "But what about Princess Jinyang?" ”

Speaking of lateness, Cao Ting's heart jumped more and more.

Ji Jia is no better than others, and he is the most unfoolable person.

He doesn't know what the eyeliner is in the East Factory, but now that he says this, maybe he does know what happened between him and Chi Chi.

But if you don't know, when he opens his mouth like this, isn't he just not admitting himself?

Cao Tingyue was hesitating how to speak.

Ji Jia continued, "When did she get so close to the eldest prince." ”

Cao Tingyue immediately breathed a sigh of relief, "The princess of the harem, but if there is no protection from the mother, don't you want to find someone to rely on?" But this Jinyang princess is just afraid that she didn't find the right one. ”

Ji Jia glanced at him and said softly, "How do you feel, you mentioned that she was a little nervous?" ”

Cao Tingyue suddenly felt goosebumps on his back.

Ji Jia has been in the palace since he was a child, immersed in the harem for many years, and has come to the position of the governor of Dongchang, even the queen has to respectfully call the "factory duke", not to mention the master next to the harem.

Only the emperor can call him a "factory minister", and there is no second person who dares to say this.

He is such a skill, that is, he is very keen, and it is impossible for an idle person to pass by by pretending to be like this.

But fortunately, Ji Jia probably wouldn't have thought of anything between Cao Tingyu and Chi Chi. Princesses and eunuchs generally only appear in folk gossip books.

But Ji Jia believes that people like Cao Tingyue who have come to this point have long had no love for love.

As for having back and forth with a (although she is a little favored now), for Cao Tingyue, there will not be much to gain.

So Ji Jia said, "I know that Your Majesty has been paying a lot of attention to her recently, since she is in the camp of the eldest prince, maybe she will say something from it, you keep an eye on it." ”

"Which prince does the father-in-law prefer?" Cao Ting became more cautious and tentative.

Ji Jia snorted coldly, "Adult prince, I don't like one." Your Majesty is in the prime of life, and those young princes can still grow up, but I am rarely in Beijing now, and I want you to see which one is suitable for being the emperor. ”

Ji Jia's tone was very light, "You have to know, if the emperor is chosen through our hands, at least what should it be?" ”

"The East Factory is still the East Factory." Cao Tingyue lowered his head.

Ji Jia was silent, he stood still, "Okay, you don't have to wait by my side if you have nothing to do, you can go yourself." ”

Cao Tingyue said, "My father-in-law has just returned to Beijing, and there are many people around him who need to be served, so I asked my son to serve by your side......"

"You're not just my son now, you're in charge of Dongchang, why, so empty? Nothing at hand? ”

Cao Ting took a deeper breath, "Yes, my son is leaving." ”

Ji Jia looked at Beiyin, who Cao Tingyue left in a hurry, and his eyes darkened.

But he didn't say anything, just pursed his lips and turned his head into his yard.

Although he feels that Cao Tingyue is different from before he left, but since he has controlled Dongchang for so long, if he really harbors any evil intentions, he is back now, just a random check, there is nothing to hide.

Ji Jia won't trust anyone, no matter what righteous son godson, it's the same.
