As soon as Emperor Wei's decree was issued, the people complained. The already insatiable grain was even taxed, and when it was almost the sowing season, the strong man was enlisted in the army. Once a war breaks out, it is not known whether it will be won or lost, and life and death are uncertain. In the worst case, they will be displaced, and the life they have settled down with great difficulty may be shattered, and anyone will have resentment in their hearts.

Great Wei has completely entered a state of readiness, and everyone has a fear in their hearts, hoarding food at home, and afraid that when the enemy army comes, they will not have time to escape, and they will die, and the food will fall into the enemy's mouth. At the feet of the Son of Heaven, the capital is already in danger, let alone other places or even near the frontier.

Recently, Ji Ketian has obviously noticed that the situation outside is wrong, and even the people in the palace seem to be very panicked, and for a period of time, there are more people who take leave, and everyone seems to be afraid of something. But when Ji Ke asked, the other party only said that there was something at home and no other reason, which made Ji Ke feel even more strange.

When I was shopping with Xiao Jin that day, Ji Ketian found that the price of the rice shop was getting bigger and bigger, and the officers and soldiers kept chasing the man on the street. The situation on the street is completely different from the previous prosperity, even the number of people calling Huazi on the road has increased, Ji Ketian is a little puzzled, "Lord, not to mention the palace, even the capital has been a little strange recently, what is going on?" ”

After those previous events, Xiao Jin was still a little unhappy in his heart for asking such a question, and on the surface Xiao Jin did not show it, "Our Great Wei is going to fight with Beiliang, Emperor Wei levies grain taxes to use as military rations, and allows Zhuang Ding to enlist in the army, and then he will have the confidence to fight with Beiliang." ”

Hearing Xiao Jin's words, Ji Ketian frowned, "Why is it going to start a fight for no reason, besides, both sides were not good before, and now it is not the best time for both sides to fight, and it may cause both sides to lose and cause great damage to the vitality of both sides." Ji Ke poured into his heart to calculate the benefits and disadvantages of this war, since there are many harms and no benefits, why did the two sides choose to go to war?

"A while ago, Beiliang sent an additional 300,000 troops on the frontier, and it looked like it was about to attack. Emperor Wei thought that the two sides had been cooperating for so long, so he sent an envoy to check the situation, but he didn't expect that the envoy went vertically, and when he came back, it was already horizontal. After Xiao Jin finished speaking, he looked at Ji Ketian's face, and saw that Ji Ketian's face did not change, and he put his heart at ease, and continued: "Emperor Wei was furious on the spot and reprimanded the minister who proposed to send an envoy. The messenger inspected the body of the envoy and confirmed that it was done by Bei Liang, and he prepared to go to war. ”

"The two soldiers do not fight each other, this is a matter of agreement between countries, and it is impossible for Beiliang to be so confused." This matter, Ji Ketian felt that there was something strange in it when he heard it, and there must be something else in the middle, "Bei Liang can't send troops to station for no reason, can you take me to see Emperor Wei?" I feel that I can help find out the truth of the matter, we can't let the unclear happen, and we can't just watch the people live because of this nonsensical war. ”

Xiao Jin knew that Ji Ketian would not be able to sit idly by, he didn't want Ji Ketian to know about this matter, so there was naturally two points of anger in his tone, "This matter is indeed not as simple as it seems, but if the matter has happened, just watch it, don't get involved in this matter, otherwise it will be difficult to get out, and it will not be good to get into trouble when the time comes." ”

Ji Ketian was a little anxious, she could hear that Xiao Jin didn't want her to meddle in this matter, and was even a little disgusted, "There is something else hidden, why don't you let me talk to Emperor Wei clearly, why do you want to have soldiers meet when you can avoid the war!" ”

"You've just finished investigating the handmaid's case recently, and you're tired, so you don't need to worry about it anymore." Xiao Jin knew that Ji Ke Tian would not stop this matter, as long as he took retreat as advance, and wanted to persuade Ji Ke to retreat, "You were busy for Dongfang Qiao's case for a while, and you didn't have much rest, I was very distressed, now I rarely have time, so take a good rest, don't let yourself work too hard." ”

Ji Ke listened to Xiao Jin's words, ignored Xiao Jin, and turned his head to the side to look at the people on the street. The more I look at it, the more distressed I feel. She is from modern times, she has never lived a life of lack of food and clothing, even in ancient times, she is now a princess, and she does not need to worry about her livelihood. But what about these people? How innocent they are, just because of a thought of the superior, they have to bear the consequences of this thought.

Xiao Jin cautiously approached Ji Ketian and gently hugged Ji Ketian's shoulder, "The relationship network involved in this matter is too complicated, and it is better for you not to get involved as a woman." All forces are constantly infiltrating it, and it would be bad if you accidentally touched anyone's interests, and I am for your good. Xiao Jin sighed deeply, he knew what Ji Ke was thinking, but there were some things they couldn't meddle in, they could only stand by.

"I don't want to do anything, I just want to sort things out, don't you think it's too weird?" Ji Ketian stared at Xiao Jin with wide eyes, and still hoped that Xiao Jin could change his mind, "Is the misery of the people really what the superior wants to see?" Maybe there was really a misunderstanding, and if we solve it, we will be able to save such a disaster, isn't it good? ”

"Okay, I'll deal with this matter, I'll investigate, it's not good for you to meddle in this matter again." What Ji Ke said is very reasonable, Xiao Jin has no way to refute it, after all, even if it is him, there is no way to look at the people like this, this is already the biggest concession that Xiao Jin can make.

Ji Ketian also knew that this was already Xiao Jin's bottom line, and he didn't want to argue with Xiao Jin about anything, so he just nodded. walked into Xiao Jin's side a little bit, and sometimes she would think, this era is really bad, so when she comes to this era, can she make this era a little better? Ji Ketian shook her head, she may not have enough ability.

Xiao Jin seemed to be able to feel a little sad emotion, "I will definitely try my best to find out the truth, you just eat, drink and have fun in the palace, and I will take care of everything, okay?" ”

Ji Ketian smiled at Xiao Jin and nodded slightly.
