When Ji Tianxing saw Ji Pheasant say that, he just stared at himself with a smile, frowned and thought for a moment, shook his head and said: "The imperial sister said that she was joking, the interests of the river trade are huge, and the younger brother is a junior, how can she offend the uncle of the king of Hejian, the brother of the king of Qinghe, and the local tycoons like the Gongxi clan and the Lu clan?

When Ji Pheasant heard this, he glanced at Ji Tianxing and sneered: "Okay, I said before, you are the most intelligent among the seven princes, and it is just like this to others, what kind of stupidity do you pretend to be in front of the eldest sister?"

She shook the long sleeves of her python robe, sat down again, and said leisurely: "Well, since you don't want to tell the truth, then this palace will be kind and give you a reminder." At the court meeting, my father asked you why you only went to visit Qinghe on the way to Beijing, but did not go to visit Uncle Wang of Hejian, and asked you to share more worries about Uncle Wang and Qinghe in the future.

Ji Tianxing smiled bitterly when he heard this, and also sat down with Ji Pheasant, and said: "Although the younger brother is stupid, I can still understand the words that my father said to me at the court meeting. I heard that the imperial brother of Runan made many meritorious deeds in the past, which overshadowed several feudal kings who were also in the south, and my father also said similar things when he entrusted the southern sect and other affairs to the imperial brother of Runan. Since then, the Huainan royal lineage, together with the Yingchuan imperial brother, has been regarded as the head of the imperial brother of Runan. ”

After hearing this, Ji Pheasant turned his anger into joy, nodded with a smile and said: "That's it, as soon as the emperor Chrysostom is opened at the court meeting, the kings of the southwest will also be headed by you in the future, and Liang Teng, as a henchman raised by his father, naturally knows how to act." Next, in addition to guarding against the first-class drudgery of demons, the river trade, which has huge profits and can support 20% of the imperial court's taxes every year, is the top priority of all parties. ”

"You just said that the things you gave me are vulgar compared to the orchid tree, not to mention anything else, just say that this Yunzhou only has Yunjin, vulgar is indeed vulgar, but once it is transported to Jingshi, it is immediately worth ten times, and it has never been sold. To put it mildly, if something goes wrong with the river trade, the women in the forbidden city and the major mansions in Beijing alone can hate you to death, so many pillows are blowing, not to mention that you are a prince, I am afraid that my father will have a headache. ”

Ji Tianxing smiled dumbly, and reluctantly arched his hand towards Ji Pheasant, which was regarded as begging for mercy. This eldest sister with excellent means is good at everything, but this temperament is really ......

He looked at Ji Pheasant and said solemnly: "Since the imperial sister has made her words clear, then the younger brother will have something to say." The imperial sister joined forces with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the Huaidehou Yu family to use Haidong to help Gongsun Long master the Qingzhou sea trade including Haiyan and Shen Tie. ”

"That's natural, if you brothers want to win the heir, they are destined to not be intimate, and if you want to find someone who is weighty and non-threatening to cooperate, this palace is naturally the most suitable candidate. ”

Ji Pheasant said, with a suspicious look on his face: "Asking for ideas?

Ji Tianxing nodded: "Naturally, he is the person who will stand on the bright side and control the river trade in the future, no matter who it is, the imperial sister must nod first in advance." ”

Ji Pheasant listened and smiled with satisfaction: "I also said what is the matter, originally this candidate is naturally up to you, but since you have proposed it in Lanling, then the palace will help you refer to one or two." What do you have in mind, might as well tell me about it?"

"Thank you, Sister Huang. There is a subordinate named Xue Weichen under the minister's disciple, who has some talents and means, and has served as a centurion in Yangping County and other commercial and trade gathering places, knows how to do it, and has not done much in private to pretend to be a thief to rob money and kill people, and Yu Lulin's rules are also familiar. ”

Ji Pheasant groaned slightly, and said with some hesitation: "Sounds like a familiar hand, surnamed Xue?"

Ji Tianxing understood and explained: "This person is not from the Xue clan, just because he has the same surname, he coincidentally attached to the uncle of his brother, and because he didn't dare to be the same as me, he recognized his brother's uncle as his godfather." This kind of person naturally can't enter the family tree, but I'm afraid that my grandfather and his old man don't know that he has such a great-grandson. ”

Ji Pheasant smiled with relief and said unabashedly: "I'll just say, Xue Hou is a dignified martial master and will not want to grab food from a junior like me." That being the case, this person's identity is also suitable, I don't know what to cultivate?"

Ji Tianxing replied: "This is exactly the difficulty of the younger brother, although this person has the means, but he is only in the realm of Qi cultivation, and he has no inspiration. ”

Ji Pheasant couldn't help frowning, shook his head and said, "This is a bit insufficient." You don't have a more suitable person under you, or maybe you can choose a large amount of money from the local green forest for your own use. ”

"The younger brother has not been in the domain for a long time, and there is really no more suitable candidate for his subordinates, and I have not heard of a person like Gongsun Long in the local green forest, after all, there was originally a flying immortal temple on Tianmen Mountain. ”

Ji Pheasant suddenly laughed and said: "This is also true, how can such a domineering person as Lu Jieai tolerate a heroic figure in front of the door?"

She thought about it carefully, and suddenly said: "I think of someone, but I don't know if you dare to use it." ”

When it comes to business, Ji Pheasant doesn't sell Guan Zi, and then said: "Zheng Shudao, the son of Zheng Kui, the former Ganzhou Mu and now the Tianshui County Shou Zheng Kui, I don't know if Lanling can know?"

Ji Tianxing was stunned when he heard this, he never expected Ji Pheasant to mention this person.

I listened to Ji Pheasant's explanation: "This person is not from a low background, his father is rooted in Ganzhou, which is not far away, and he is backed by the West Lake Sword Palace, he has a grandmaster cultivation, and he has a good reputation in the rivers and lakes. In addition, this person was quite strategic and wise, and promoted Ao Mang's alliance with the Gongxi clan on the battlefield to quell the chaos in Ganzhou. ”

Zheng Shudao's move undoubtedly saved a trace of face for Liang Teng, no matter how embarrassed the new Qingzhou general was, he had to admit his face to him, not to mention that this person could talk to the local daimyos such as the Gongxi clan and the Lu clan. ”

Ji Tianxing thought to himself secretly, and also felt that Zheng Shudao was useful, but this person was recommended by Ji Pheasant, he inevitably had doubts in his heart, and said with a smile at the moment: "Sister Huang is entertaining me, in this case, you can cooperate with Ao Mang, where is the use of the courtier?"

"Why, even one of you is jealous of Ao Mang?"

Ji Pheasant asked with a smile first, and then seemed to wake up, glaring and said: "Are you afraid that I and Ao Mang will secretly join forces to set you up in the air? A dignified prince doesn't even have this confidence and means, if he lets his father know, I'm afraid he will regret handing over the southwest to you! Zheng Shudao This person is a famous disciple after all, and he knows the most measure, even if he agrees to this matter, most of them are just a signboard and get some benefits by the way, you appoint that Xue Weichen as a deputy, and actually take care of affairs. ”

Ji Tianxing hurriedly begged for mercy: "The imperial sister is angry, the younger brother just doesn't dare to underestimate the heroes of the world." Moreover, Zheng Shudao is such a talent, I heard that Ao Xiang once gave him a rare ancient sword, so he naturally values it very much, and a gentleman does not take the favor of others......"

Before Ji Tianxing finished speaking, Ji Pheasant already showed a sarcastic look on his face, and sneered: "In the final analysis, you still feel that you are not related to Zheng Shudao, and you dare not suddenly trust each other with the affairs of your henchmen, but you have to understand, where in this world do you have so many henchmen, isn't it because of profit to gather, and if there is no profit, then disperse? Zheng Shudao and Gongxi Xiaobai met on the battlefield, the so-called alliance was really a temporary idea, how could he have been allowed by Ao Mang beforehand, and it was not because it was beneficial to his own family, and this minister of power did not care about this section afterwards?"

Ji Pheasant talked eloquently, and analyzed the benefits and disadvantages clearly: "First, Zheng Shudao did not sell himself into slavery, and he is not a private person of Ao Mang, you are the prince of the Ji family, how can you not use this person? Third, the Zheng father and son are the most long-sleeved and good at dancing......"

Seeing that Her Royal Highness the eldest princess smiled, she said firmly: "The imperial sister made a bet with you, at the latest tomorrow, Zheng Shudao will go to see you, maybe you have already gone at this time, but you came to me, not in the mansion." When he saw what you were going to say, Bengong could roughly guess it, it was nothing more than a show of loyalty, exonerating his senior brother who had destroyed the second peak of Tianmen, and then making suggestions on matters such as controlling floods and reviving commerce and trade, in short, just to let you see his talents and the Zheng family's worthiness. ”

Ji Pheasant said, seeing Ji Tianxing's respectful demeanor and listening very carefully, although he knew that there was an element of drama, he was still quite useful in his heart, and after a little hesitation, he said again: "You are also a prince now, how to use people and how to act, there is no need to say much about this palace, but there is one point, you still have to learn more from Runan, that is, to enjoy the prince, you must have the heart and courage of a king." ”

"Don't be afraid of offending people, don't think about currying favor with all parties, no matter what you do, as long as you can control the situation in the southwest, my father will be satisfied, and some things are not hopeless. Take 10,000 steps back, just a few states are meant to let you play to your heart's content, what if they are all erosive, your father will naturally give you a cover. ”

Ji Tianxing was finally convinced, and said sincerely: "What the imperial sister said is deafening, and the courtiers have benefited a lot. ”

Ji Pheasant waved his hand and said with a smile: "Don't pour me this ecstasy soup." By the way, you mentioned Qingzhou just now, it's a coincidence, Yu Da will come later. ”

Ji Tianxing was surprised when he heard this, and was about to get up and say goodbye, but Ji Pheasant shook his head: "You don't need to avoid it, just be a witness for me and Yu Da here." ”
