After eating and drinking, several people said goodbye one after another.

Han Shu was still a little reluctant when he left, and at the same time he was competing with Xia Jingnian, wanting to stay longer, but he was pulled away by Cheng Shuang, who was a little drunk.

In the main hall, only Yu Mei and Ji Yang remained, as well as Xia Jingnian Huzi, and the four of them looked at Ji Qiang intently.

Ji Qiang coughed lightly and looked at Yu Meiren: "Yu'er, are you going back to the palace today?" ”

"Don't go back, Miss Lin is like a fish in water in the palace, and now I can be regarded as a favorite concubine." The poppy peeled a piece of candy and put it in her mouth, knowing that the corners of her eyes were crooked.

Ji Qiang smiled, and she asked Xia Jingnian again: "His Royal Highness the King of Qi should also go back to the Qi Palace, it's getting late." ”

Xia Jingnian poked lightly on Huzi's back, Huzi immediately understood, and he said with a straight face: "Sister Fairy, Huzi hasn't seen you for a long time, and I want to stay in the princess's mansion."

"Okay." Ji Qiang nodded, and then gestured to Xia Jingnian with his eyes, Huzi can stay, you can go.

Xia Jingnian sat like Mount Tai and did not move at all.

In the end, Ji Qiang still arranged for him to live in Xiyuan.

At night, Huzi gradually fell asleep, and Ji Qiang looked at his sleeping face, the corners of his lips hooked slightly.

Knock knock knock and a rhythmic knock on the door sounded outside.

"Who?" Ji Qiang opened her mouth coldly, staring at the door with a slight vigilance in her eyes. A familiar voice sounded, and she let out a relaxed breath and said, "Come in." ”

Xia Jingnian entered the house, holding a night pearl in his hand, illuminating the entire house, and he put the night pearl on the table before leaving: "Give it to you." ”

"Where did the pearl of the night come from?" Ji Qiang opened her mouth in surprise, looking at the bright beads in front of her, and felt happy.

Xia Jingnian knew that she liked her as soon as he saw her expression, he held her hand and smiled: "Naturally, I am looking for it, this night pearl is found in the East China Sea, there are only two in total, and one was bought by Yang Shangshu." ”

"King Qi has a heart." Ji Qiang looked at the Night Pearl carefully.

Xia Jingnian's bony hand pinched her cheek: "This king doesn't like you to call King Qi." ”

"What about Jing Nian?" Ji Qiang smiled and looked at him playfully, "If this is heard, it will not be good to misunderstand that the relationship between the two of us is not good." ”

"Our relationship was exactly what they thought it was." Xia Jingnian gently hugged her in his arms, "Let you suffer." ”

Ji Qiang knew what he meant, and smiled lightly: "It's okay, no one in the prison oppresses me, but this reminds me again, don't underestimate the enemy hidden in the shadows." Maybe they're plotting to kill me. ”

"Qiang Er has always been smart, how can they be your opponents." Xia Jingnian smiled and reassured, "No matter what, this king will help you." ”

Time flies, and a month flies, and a lot of things happen during this time.

The Wangi Kingdom was destroyed by the Luohui Kingdom, and the refugees desperately fled to Dachen.

In the court, the emperor looked at the courtiers condescendingly and asked, "What do you Aiqing think about the destruction of the Wanji Kingdom?" ”

"Your Majesty, the wolf ambition of Luohui Country, he sneaked into Hefang City to spread the plague before, and now he will unite Wanji Kingdom, I am afraid that this next one will fall on our Chen Dynasty." Yang Shangshu said worriedly.

The emperor's head agreed: "What Yang Aiqing said is extremely true, Wei Chide, I ordered you to go to the frontier in person, guard it, and take precautions." ”

Wei Chide immediately stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, rest assured, the minister will definitely take good care of our country." ”

"I'm relieved to have a courtier like you." The emperor smiled, when he lowered his eyes, he covered the emotions in his eyes, his ambition was on par with the monarch of Luohui Kingdom.

Yang Shangshu said again: "Your Majesty, now that hundreds of thousands of refugees from Wanki Country have poured into our country, we must switch and let them go." ”

The emperor frowned slightly, his index finger tapped lightly on the table, and his mind was lively, if he accepted refugees, he would also have a good reputation as a virtuous monarch among countries. Fun read

"Receive." The emperor made a decision.

After the next court, Xia Chengmu immediately returned to his house to discuss with his staff, and finally decided to take the refugees under his command. That's a huge number of hundreds of thousands, and with their help, wouldn't the crown prince be within reach.

On the other side, Ji Qiang also hurried to the Qi Palace, anxious to see Xia Jingnian.

In the previous life, Xia Chengmu used these hundreds of thousands of refugees as a help to pull the prince into the water, and he naturally became the new prince, and finally became the emperor.

This is an important turning point, how can Ji Qiang let him succeed!

"Qiang'er." Xia Jingnian took her hand and entered the Qi Palace, "In such a hurry, what is the so-called matter." ”

"Xia Chengmu wants to bring all the refugees under his command and become a big help for him, but he can't let him succeed." Ji Qiang said seriously, as she spoke, a trace of anxiety flashed in her eyes.

Xia Jingnian's expression was faint, and he looked at her with a little surprise when he heard this, and after pouring her tea, he asked, "How do you know about this." ”

"I've got eyeliner on his house." Ji Qiang met his visiting gaze, not looking at each other for a moment, and did not dodge.

Xia Jingnian bowed: "Got it." ”

When the refugees poured into the Chen Dynasty, Xia Chengmu was really as Ji Qiang guessed, and he was anxious to gather them all and go with him.

But raising hundreds of thousands of people requires the support of a huge silver institute, Ji Qiang and Xia Jing made a plan to show the emperor all the accounts of the shops under his name.

It's not that the emperor doesn't know some small actions under Xia Chengmu, but he didn't check it and put it on the bright side. Now someone has designed for him to see, so let's say something else.

When Xia Chengmu came out of the Jinluan Palace, his eyes were full of red blood, and he was a little terrible, he wanted to know, who poked his bottom out!

Now he can't use the silver taels in his shop, and if he goes out too much, he will arouse the emperor's suspicion.

Once people are old, they are easy to be suspicious, and if the emperor thinks about it a few more words, he probably thinks that his son wants to usurp the throne. Therefore, Xia Chengmu is very cautious, he wants to become the person above ten thousand people logically, rather than relying on other methods that will leave traces of tongue!

Ji Qiang asked people to spread the news to the ears of the prince again, and now the prince couldn't sit still, and did the same thing as Xia Chengmu to win the hearts of the refugees!

"Ladies and gentlemen, this prince can ensure that you will enter my Chen Dynasty without worrying about food and clothing, as long as you surrender to me." Xia Chengmu found several backbones among the refugees and said solemnly.

The refugees were already terrified in their hearts, and they were already a little moved by such a promise.

Before they could agree, the prince himself came.

The prince has a mellow nature, he has been accompanying the princess to Jiangnan to worship his ancestors, and by the way, he obeyed the order to visit and investigate the people's feelings, and only returned to Beijing not long ago.

Once again, he met these hundreds of thousands of refugees, and he heard that his good brother wanted to retract, how could he sit still.

The crown prince glanced at Xia Chengmu and smiled: "The sixth child's speed is much faster than that of this palace. ”

After speaking, he looked at the person next to him again, and said clearly: "Everyone, the master of my family is the prince of the East Palace, who is right and wrong, you must have your own judgment." ”

Of course, the refugees were more inclined to the crown prince and responded one after another.

Xia Cheng was about to vomit blood, clasped his hands, stared at the prince's back, and murderous intent flashed in his eyes.

Prince, you can't stay. What a pity. As soon as I returned to Beijing, I was targeted!

Xia Chengmu returned to the mansion and continued to discuss countermeasures with his staff, and finally listened to their opinions and went to find other sources of silver.

The most direct way to keep refugees stable is to show their financial strength and convince them.

In the mansion of the six princes, more than a dozen staff members stayed awake for three days and three nights to think of countermeasures, and finally found a way out!
