The Treacherous Minister Who Sold His Teacher for Fame (14) (The Treacherous Minister or Endured Humiliation? (11...)

Everything is going according to Ji Changze's plan. The cheap shops have attracted a large number of merchants. Because these merchants rented the shops at cheap prices, they do not need to increase the price of goods to reduce costs. In addition, the shopping street has just opened and encourages everyone to use various forms of shopping. This way attracts customers and attracts a large number of customers.

These customers automatically formed the impression in their minds that the shopping street has everything and is cheap, and they should come to the shopping street if they want to buy anything. In addition, the reputation has spread, and even without the lottery, the shopping street is still bustling with people coming and going.

Because the customer flow is so large, expensive shops that could not be rented out before are still being rented out.

Those expensive shops were originally located in the best locations, and they were built in the largest and most luxurious buildings. In just a few days, a lot of them were sold.

With the first customer, the rest of the shops were quickly rented out.

The remaining people were a step slower and could only sigh. Some even waved their banknotes and asked to see Ji Changze, trying to get Mr. Ji to open the back door and free up a shop for themselves.

Of course, he would definitely not say that he was here to bribe the imperial officials. He only found an excuse to "donate materials to the imperial soldiers."

Mr. Ji was very moved and accepted the banknotes, and enthusiastically took the other party to drink tea for half an hour. Finally, he regretfully told him that he was really sorry and that all the shops had been rented out.

However, it is not impossible. There is some news that I think may interest you.

After saying these words, Mr. Ji took a sip of tea and stopped talking under the expectant look in his eyes.

Merchant "..."

What are you doing? Don't say half of what you're saying.

When he didn't know why, he saw Ji Changze took another sip of tea, coughed dryly, took out a small silver ingot from his arms, touched it gently, and asked in a calm tone, "This silver ingot looks good in my hand." Bar?"

Merchants... understand instantly.

He immediately took out the banknote from his arms and presented it with both hands, "Sir, this is a tribute from the common people. Please reveal some information."

Ji Changze didn’t answer

"What filial piety? I am a pure official and never accept filial piety from others."

Merchant "..."

The hints are so obvious, yet I still won’t accept it.

These officials really do a lot of twists and turns in everything they do.

He was complaining in his heart, but he still had a smile on his face and agreed, "Yes, yes, what your lord said is true. The common people just said it wrong. This is not a tribute to your lord. It is the common people who want to do their part for the country and the people. After hearing that the emperor The city's soldiers are all supported by you, so I want to do my best."

"How embarrassing is this? These matters should be handled by us parents and officials. Why do you need to worry about it? Your intention makes me feel a little embarrassed to accept it."

Ji Changze's tone was touching, the content was sincere, and his eyes were sincere. If he hadn't quickly taken the banknote and stuffed it into his arms while saying this, the merchant would have believed it.

Of course, Mr. Ji still has moral integrity.

After taking the money, of course you have to do something.

He lowered his voice and pretended to be telling a secret, "You and I have hit it off, so I'll tell you that a shopping street will be built next door. The shops this time will be bigger and more expensive than the ones you want to rent. "

The merchant was still a little hesitant when he heard this. After all, what he valued was the flow of people in the shopping street. But if it were a newly built shopping street, even if it was adjacent, people would inevitably worry about whether it was not as good as next door.

Ji Changze did not ask him to rent these shops at all. He just continued to whisper, "Although this shopping street has not been established yet, because there was not enough money to build it at first, you also know that those soldiers have to train every day. Everyone can eat four or five steamed buns, which is very expensive.

At that time, I had no choice but to collect money from some people, which I thought was the cost of booking a shop. Now that the shop has not been built, most of the designated locations have been reserved. There was originally some left, but I didn't know the news. If it was leaked out, I'm afraid it will be sold out in the next few days. "

The hesitation on the merchant's face immediately froze.

He was still hesitating whether to order, but Ji Changze turned around and told him, "Don't think about it. It's not a question of whether you can get it if you order it, but whether you can get it if you want to order it."

I also knew that the only people who could get the news in advance and act so quickly were those with the background behind them.

You definitely can't win if you try to rob.

Then he is struggling with loneliness.

After the stiffness passed, I didn't understand again.

Since these shops that have not yet been built are destined to lose his share, then this news is of no use.

Ji Changze's reputation is indeed not very good, but he shouldn't be fooled like this.

It was not a lie, and he did not give accurate and usable information. In addition, the merchant hesitated for a moment, then took out some banknotes from his pocket and put them on the table.

"Sir... I give these banknotes to you as a filial piety. I just hope that you can help me think of something."

"Give me a banknote and let me think of something?"

Ji Changze looked serious and selfless, not even looking at him. "What do you mean? Do you think I am the kind of person who recognizes money but not people when he sees it?"

Merchant... aren't you?

"No, no, no, I don't mean that. I just see the adults working hard and want to help them share the burden."

"No need. I have my own hands and feet. If I want money, I will naturally make it with my hard-working hands. If I take other people's money, I will burn my hands."

Merchant "..."

Does this Master Ji have a dual personality or something?

He muttered in his heart, and was about to take the money back in frustration, when he suddenly saw Ji Changze sitting in front of him and suddenly slapped his hand. The merchant didn't react, and couldn't hold the money in his hand. It fell to the ground.

Before he could bend down to see him, Ji Changze suddenly got down and grabbed all the banknotes scattered on the ground in his hands at extremely fast speed in one second.

It was accompanied by a huge sigh.

"Eh!"

"Damn it, who lost so many banknotes?"

"I am really lucky. I was able to pick up so many banknotes just sitting at home. I really can't stop my luck."

Merchant "???"

Merchant "..."

Seeing Ji Changze boasting about his good luck, he smoothly put the bank note into his arms. He was a little confused for a moment and tentatively asked Ji Changze, "Sir... you also accepted the bank note. It's about the store..."

Then, he was reprimanded.

"What does it mean that I took the banknote? With either of your eyes, you saw that I took your banknote. This banknote was clearly picked up from the ground by me. Damn it, don't talk nonsense."

Merchant "..."

He looked around and became even more speechless.

As for what, aren't there just the two of them here, why are they pretending?

But he was a high-ranking official and wanted to pretend, so he could only cooperate to please and laugh, "Yes, what the Lord said is true, it was a small oversight."

Seeing that he knew what to say, the expression on Ji Changze's face relaxed.

"As for the shop, since you are very popular with me, I will reserve a place for you. When you come in person, you will definitely have a shop. But you don't have to choose the location. It's not a good location. You can remember it."

There was a bright future in another village, and the matter was finally done.

The smile on the merchant's face immediately rose, and he uttered various words of gratitude as if he didn't need any money.

After waiting to go out, he sighed that Mr. Ji had really become a money-hungry person ever since he had to take care of the soldiers. At the same time, he thought that although he spent more money than expected to clear the road this time, I finally got this store, so I should really celebrate.

While walking, he suddenly remembered.

its not right.

Didn't he still hesitate before whether the newly built shopping street would be inferior to the original one, and he planned to observe and see how the first wave of renters did before renting?

Unknowingly, he went to beg Ji Changze to give him the newly built shopping mall shop with money in hand.

He was puzzled, but Ji Changze had been guiding in this direction from the beginning.

Isn’t that what people are like?

If it is placed there and can be taken at any time, people will lose interest in it. But if everyone grabs it, the good ones will be robbed and only the average ones will be left. If it was gone, the blood would immediately rush to my head, and I would lose seven or eight points of my rationality. I just wanted to buy it before it was all gone.

The things that were robbed must be good things.

As for why.

I don’t know, but it’s a good thing anyway.

With the first person eating crabs, it will naturally go smoothly for the people behind.

When Ji Changze was weak in "picking up money" in his mansion, Huzi Fang was also drawing drawings seriously in his mansion. From time to time, he felt something was wrong, so he would go to the second prince with the drawings in hand.

It's a pity that the second prince didn't stay overnight, otherwise he really wanted to stay until the drawings were completed.

This drawing is naturally that of Shopping Street No. 2.

Husband Fang was not involved in the drawings when building No. 1 Gaishang Street. This time he was definitely not willing to give up the opportunity, so he took over the job as soon as he found the opportunity.

However, he was also worried while painting.

It is true that the building in No. 2 Shopping Street is larger, and it is true that it is more refined than No. 1, but the price is too expensive...

After all, it was a newly built shopping street. Even though Ji Changze had told him before that the prosperity of No. 1 would attract people to No. 2, he never said that No. 2 was so expensive.

What kind of fraud would it take to come to such a fledgling place and spend such a large amount of money to rent a shop.

Then, just when he was worried about only eating four bowls at a meal, Husband Fang, who was immersed in painting, finally heard what was going on outside.

A large number of wealthy merchants were crying and begging Ji Changze to book a shop at No. 2 Commercial Street with money in their hands.

Reservations are expensive, very expensive, but each one of them is as if they have been tricked. Even though they haven't started building yet, they are spending a lot of money, begging Ji Changze to leave a place for them.

Bearded Fang "???"

He really doesn't understand this world anymore.

Fortunately, the world doesn't need him to understand.

After Ji Changze made some small operations, the money was in place.

With money, everything is easy, and Commercial Street 2 is built again.

This time Ji Changze arranged for the soldiers to move bricks as usual. It was still a reward competition mode, because the rewards last time were real money and silver. This time the soldiers worked harder than last time, and they worked hard every one of them. .

Shopping Street No. 2 was built at an extremely fast speed. In addition to being larger and broader than the Shopping Street No. 1 store next door, there were also other changes in the format and layout. Although Hu Hufang was a bit silly sometimes, Ji Changze also had to Admit it, this guy is good at drawing pictures, especially after getting together with the second prince, the details are even more exquisite.

As a man who had just made a fortune, Ji Changze couldn't say nothing when the second prince helped him. He had just been reprimanded and it was not good for him to go to the prince's mansion at this time, so he asked Hu Fang to give the gift to him. The second prince.

Huzi Fang didn't think much about it, he just felt that Ji Changze was really good at being a person, and he had to take care of everything for a prince who didn't have much presence like the second prince.

The box was delivered. The second prince opened it and was a little confused, "Is this...?"

I saw a neatly folded quilt inside the huge box.

Huzi Fang was also confused.

Who would give gifts or quilts, especially high-ranking officials like Ji Changze, who would always give valuables.

But he felt that Ji Changze didn't seem like the kind of person who would make mistakes. It would be okay if he didn't give a gift. Since he gave a gift, it meant that he wouldn't do such a thing as giving a worthless gift to the prince.

"There must be something else going on."

After saying this, I found a small box under the quilt. When I opened it, I found a small gourd inside and an introduction to the quilt written next to it.

It is said that this is a silk quilt, which took a lot of effort to make. It covers the body lightly, but is much warmer than ordinary quilts.

And that little gourd has an even bigger inner world. Even though it looks ordinary, its core is full of heat. If a person wears it close to the body for more than three hours, at night, they will feel how warm it is. , can warm the whole body and bring hope like a bonfire in winter.

But this little gourd is also a bit strange. If it is worn by one person, it will not work if others wear it. Only the first person who wears it can keep generating heat.

This is a rare treasure. The second prince is not related to me, so he is so concerned about the shopping street. I am very grateful, so I can only use these to repay His Highness.

The second prince was extremely surprised.

The weather has been getting colder and colder recently. After all, the eldest brother still has someone to look after him. He can't burn coal from time to time. He has nightmares about the eldest brother getting frostbite every night when he sleeps. But now, this silk quilt and this fever gourd, if it is sent To the eldest brother, wouldn't that just solve an urgent need?

Bearded Fang also watched together.

After reading it, he looked confused.

According to his research on Ji Changze, Ji Changze couldn't get out of his cave without prey. If he suddenly gave such an expensive gift, he must have been eyeing the second prince and wanted to plot something against him.

He also had a very good relationship with the second prince. He couldn't bear to see him fall into the trap, so he persuaded him, "Your Highness doesn't have much friendship with Lord Ji, so why don't you accept such a precious gift from him?"

"It doesn't matter, doesn't Mr. Ji love money? I just give him some banknotes, and these will be regarded as bought by me. When Mr. Ji takes the money, he won't ask me to do anything."

Beard Fang...you are overthinking. If it were Ji Changze, he would definitely have to ask you to do things again after taking the banknote, and in the end you would shed tears of gratitude.

His Highness the Second Highness insisted on having his own way, and Hu Fang could not persuade him, so he could only watch as he put away the quilt and gourd like a treasure. Before he could even say a word of persuasion, he made an excuse to drive them away with the excuse of painting.

Beard Fang "..."

He just didn't understand why everyone who met Ji Changze felt as if their brains were wet and lined up to jump into this guy's pit.

Look at him, how sensible he is.

As soon as Husband left, the second prince immediately stuffed the box with the gourd into the quilt, hugged the quilt himself, and walked down the secret passage.

He couldn't wait to send warmth to his eldest brother.

The eldest prince is reading a book.

Trapped here, he could only read books. If his brothers hadn't come to play with him from time to time, he might have fulfilled his father's wish and become a lunatic who knew nothing.

After hearing what the second prince said, the eldest prince was a little surprised, "There is such a treasure? It's strange."

"Yes, right? As soon as I heard about it, I brought it to my elder brother. Brother, put it on quickly and I will put this quilt on for you. You will definitely be able to sleep comfortably tonight."

The second prince happily laid out the silk quilt and muttered, "I didn't expect Ji Changze to be so good at doing things. Before, I was just helping him with a small favor. I wasn't just helping him, I was just helping Zifang. Yet he actually gave me such a heavy gift." "

Although the eldest prince has been locked up, he still knows what is going on outside from his brothers. After hearing this, he was a little confused, "Ji Changze? Is this Mr. Ji?"

"No, wasn't he asked by his father to take care of the soldiers? Those soldiers were more useful than the others, and they emptied his family's fortune. Now he is working hard to make money to support his family."

The eldest prince thought thoughtfully, "This Master Ji does not seem like the kind of person who would be trapped by such things."

"He is smart, but what's the use? His father ordered him to do it. Whether he can do it or not is because he is unlucky. He was tricked by Zhao Zuijian before. That Zhao Zuijian is dead, but he was also tricked and now he doesn't have any face. I’m looking for people to donate money.”

"This is now. Everyone knows why he did this. If it were before, he would have made so much money, and he would have been involved in many books."

Now everyone, let alone going to visit Ji Changze, dare not say a word to him, for fear that this guy will hear him and ask for money. Everyone knows that Mr. Ji who is bankrupt has no relatives and only cares about money. If you bump into it at this time, just wait to be raided.

The second prince only told it to the eldest prince as gossip, but the eldest prince frowned slightly when he heard it.

Although he has never gone out, he knows a lot about Master Ji.

Master Ji is very methodical in doing things. He has always been the only one who cheats others. If there is any chance of others cheating him, then Zhao Zuijian has no brains, otherwise he would not have made his reputation so bad.

Look at Ji Changze. I heard that the civil and military officials of the entire dynasty thought he was a treacherous minister, but no one in the common people said anything bad about him. This shows that he deliberately maintained his reputation.

How could Zhao Zuijian, two people with completely different IQs, trick Ji Changze, especially when he died on the spot right after he tricked people, and died in the palace, and he took the military power because of tricking Ji Changze, unlike Ji Changze His handwriting seems to be... that of his father.

The more the eldest prince thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong. He said to his younger brother, who was taking out peanuts from under the table and eating them, "Tell me carefully about this matter."

The second prince didn't even think about the reason, Gua Gua Gua told them all.

The eldest prince's heart sank when he heard this.

The more he listened, the more he felt that this military power was not forced on Ji Changze by Zhao Zuijian, but that Ji Changze wanted it from the beginning, to trick Zhao Zuijian and let the enemy act according to his own wishes.

Now the whole world feels that Ji Changze has obtained a hot military power that he does not want, but if it was really hot, Ji Changze would have found a way to give it away long ago.

From the beginning, he pointed his sword at military power.

Naturally, it is impossible for a minister to go all out to gain military power just to enjoy the pleasure of being a general.

The eldest prince stood up suddenly and walked around in circles for a few times. Under the confused gaze of the second prince, the expressions on his face changed in various ways, and finally settled on determination.

"Second brother, you go back right away, immediately collect all the valuable things in the house, and have them sent to the village in the south where I bought them. Exchange all the banknotes for real gold and silver and send them there too. You guys are in the house. Continue to dig the secret passage all the way to the outside of the city gate. You can also ask people to dig it, but remember, no one is allowed to leave until the digging is completed. "

The second prince still had peanuts in his mouth and looked confused, "Huh?"

"Just listen to me. If the situation outside is not right, you should leave immediately through the secret passage and go all the way to the Zhuangzi. Only the four of you know about the Zhuangzi. Just hide inside and pretend to be an ordinary rich family. Never do it again. Something else.”

Second Prince "Huh??"

He finally reacted. It was the first time he saw the eldest emperor brother with such a heavy expression, and he also became worried.

"Big, big brother, is father finally going to kill us?"

"No, no, it's..."

The eldest prince opened his mouth to say something, but then remembered that although this younger brother was kind-hearted and kind-hearted, sometimes his IQ was a bit off, and told him that he might leak the news, so he swallowed the rest of his words.

"Don't worry about what it is, just do as I say. If anything happens, run immediately without hesitation, you know?"

The second prince's eyes were red with fear, and he huddled up in fear and nodded, "Yes, yes, I understand."

He asked, "Then we run away. Brother, what will you do?"

"Of course I have a solution."

"Okay, go back quickly. Brother Huang has something to think about."

The second prince left hesitantly.

As soon as he left, the eldest prince immediately sat down and meditated.

This Lord Ji is afraid that he is going to rebel.

However, my father's behavior has become more and more ridiculous in recent years. It would be fine to hand over the military power, but he actually asked Ji Changze to support those 70,000 people.

It has always been the one who calls the mother for the meal, and Ji Changze is a powerful one. Since he can use tricks to make his father hand over the military power to him without knowing it, he can also use tricks to make the 70,000 people on his side. .

Father...

According to his temperament, those soldiers probably had a hard time in the past.

When he was under the control of the emperor, he did not have enough food and clothing. When he was under the control of Ji Changze, he did not have enough food and clothing. In addition, because Ji Changze was "reprimanded" before, he replaced the original fish and meat with ordinary meals. This is explained. The reason is that they will naturally not blame Mr. Ji who "was scolded and lost just to give them food and drink".

So, who is to blame?

Just imagine, if the eldest prince himself is a soldier, he has no food, clothing or warmth under the emperor's hands. He lives a painful life every day. In the end, he finally changes to a higher official and provides for them on his own. Life is just a little better, the emperor So he scolded the Shangguan because the food he gave them was too good.

What would they think.

When I ate your food before, you thought I didn’t deserve it. Now I’m eating Master Ji’s food. It’s Master Ji who worked so hard to make us eat and drink well without costing you a penny. Why don’t you? What to blame.

Are you the emperor?

A person who doesn't know how to read and doesn't have enough to eat doesn't care about this.

Ji Changze...this was intended to make the soldiers hate the one sitting on the dragon throne.

Of course he didn't just do it for fun.

He's afraid... he's going to rebel...

The eldest prince has no feelings about the possibility of his father being killed, but if the rebellion succeeds and the new emperor ascends the throne, his four younger brothers, as princes, will definitely be eradicated.

But if they intervene in this matter now, the military power is already in the hands of Ji Changze, and any change at this moment may only turn into an early rebellion. It would be fine if the father trusts them, but the father not only does not trust his own sons, but also guards against them. They are like guarding against their enemies.

After all, it's a dead end.

Now, the only thing left is to save the four younger brothers.

More than a decade ago, when he sensed his father's inexplicable hostility towards him, he bought a manor as a way out, but he didn't expect that his father would use the lives of tens of thousands of soldiers to facilitate his crime. The manor was not used, and he was imprisoned here for more than ten years.

Unexpectedly, more than ten years later, the manor would still be useful.

But he couldn't escape.

There were guards outside, and he could eat the food and cover himself with the quilts sent by his brothers every day, but he couldn't really escape. He could escape by himself, but his relatives who were still imprisoned in the eldest prince's mansion would probably lose their heads.

The eldest prince sighed and smiled bitterly that his life was so dramatic.

He was once high-spirited, then downtrodden and difficult, then hopeful, and finally calm, but now he still had to end up dead.

It's not bad, at least he saved his brothers.

But his children, the girls might be saved, and the boys... I'm afraid they will also go to the underworld.

It's useless as a father.

The eldest prince sat at the table, watching the sky outside gradually darken, and something suddenly flashed through his mind.

He touched the gourd hanging around his neck, and it was like this, or what, there was no sign of heat.

It was already dark, didn't it say that it would get hot in three hours? Now it should be about the time.

He took off the small gourd, and suddenly his expression was startled. He took off the small stopper on the gourd and poured it on the table. Sure enough, a very small piece of paper fell out.

When he unfolded it, it was blank.

The eldest prince was not surprised. He took the teacup beside him and poured water on the paper.

The handwriting appeared little by little, and it started with a king bomb.

Your Highness, don't panic. I have never thought of rebelling.

The eldest prince: "..."

Because he was too shocked, he didn't know whether he should be surprised that Ji Changze had calculated that the gourd would be delivered to him, or whether he should be surprised that Ji Changze had the right time, place and people, but he didn't plan to rebel.

He looked carefully, and the expression on his face changed in various ways, and finally settled on relaxation.

After a sigh of relief, the eldest prince looked at the sky outside, and felt his heart was burning, and his whole body was full of energy.

He thought, what Lord Ji said was right, this gourd can indeed make the wearer warm and hot.

The next day, several princes came out of the secret passage like dumplings.

"Big brother, we thought about it all night and felt that we couldn't leave you alone. Let's run, run first and talk about it later..."

The fifth prince, who was the first to speak, was talking, and when he raised his eyes, he met the sight of the eldest brother who was sitting at the table writing.

The eldest prince smiled at them and said, "Early in the morning, you guys are here."

"Big, big brother..."

The four princes stood together like quails, looking at their eldest brother, and felt that the eldest brother today seemed to be different.

It's hard to say what's different, that is, the dull air on his body seemed to have dissipated, and what was left was only full of vitality.

"Big brother, why do you look so happy? Are we going to run away?"

The eldest prince pulled his youngest brother to sit down and said with a smile, "No more running."

"We don't have to run away anymore."

He didn't expect that the not-so-good-reputation Lord Ji would have such a pure heart.

He didn't expect that he would be trapped here for more than ten years and finally wait for a turnaround.

The eldest prince pulled his confused brothers to his side and patted their shoulders one by one, who were still very immature in his eyes but were trying to carry him, the eldest brother.

He felt relieved in his heart.

The brothers had protected him for more than ten years, and it was time for him to protect them.

That Lord Ji was really glorious.

The glorious Lord Ji was sitting in the study with a gloomy face.

--Bang!

He patted the table, and all the Ji party members sitting below trembled.

"The Hu people have reached Gezhou, why didn't anyone report it to the court!"

The people of the Ji party were also confused. They shrank their necks and whispered, "I heard that there was news before, but His Majesty was busy in the palace... It seems that... it was delayed..."

"Who asked His Majesty, I'm asking you! His Majesty delayed important matters, what's so strange about that, but you, I asked you to collect intelligence, where did you collect it?!"

The people of the Ji party said, "... Your subordinates, your subordinates..."

"Forget it."

Ji Changze was angry, and he didn't blame them anymore.

I knew these salted fish were unreliable, and it was also because he hadn't improved his favorability with the emperor recently, so the emperor didn't even tell him about this kind of thing. Of course, it is not ruled out that the emperor didn't think it was a big deal.

After all, Gezhou was originally located on the border, and there was a famine before, and a large number of refugees ran out. Now in the eyes of the emperor, it is probably a dead city.

The dead city was attacked, and the Hu people would not gain any advantage if they took it down. Anyway, the Hu people always robbed things and ran away, and never robbed cities.

But Ji Changze knew that those were the Hu people in the past. The Hu people now are no longer satisfied with living on the grassland.

This winter is particularly cold. They probably noticed that the weather was different this year, so they took the initiative.

In the original timeline, the Wen Dynasty was destroyed by internal and external troubles. I am afraid that even the Hu people did not know that the great country of the Wen Dynasty was so fragile and vulnerable. It was just a casual attack, but it actually destroyed the Wen Dynasty.

But this time it was different. In the original timeline, the emperor did not send Liu Shengyan, an official who loved the people, to provide disaster relief, but sent his favorite Zhao Zuijian.

Zhao Zuijian directly embezzled most of the food and money for disaster relief, and the rest was exploited by the people. It was not enough for a full meal.

The prefect of Gezhou was beheaded, and the last protector fell. The people waited for the court's disaster relief team, but they still couldn't escape the fate of being starved to death.

In the end, Gezhou became a dead city.

A dead city, the Hu people naturally would not attack.

And this time, the prefect did not die, Liu Shengyan went, and with Huang Renshen, the three of them worked together to save the situation. The people were gradually settled down, and everything was fine. But because they had just suffered a famine and were short of manpower, the Hu people might have taken a fancy to this point, so they chose Gezhou.

Ji Changze stood up with a sullen face.

Gezhou must not be taken down, no matter from which aspect, it cannot be.

He stood up and walked out. Hu Zifang saw him in such a hurry for the first time, and asked hurriedly, "Master Ji, where are you going?"

"I'm going to fight the emperor in Gezhou."

Ji Changze left this sentence and walked out, leaving the Ji party members staring at each other. After a long time, someone spoke carefully.

"Master Ji... is a civil official..."

"It seems..."

How could a civil official go to the battlefield? Even if Master Ji is willing, His Majesty is not willing.

Hey! His Majesty is really willing.

Ji Changze naturally couldn't tell the emperor about this kind of thing quietly, but took the opportunity to ask for war in front of the civil and military officials during the court session.

What he said was impassioned, full of the country, and the loyalty on his face was simply unstoppable.

If it were someone else who said this, he might be moved, but it was Ji Changze...

Civil and military officials "..."

Emperor "..."

No one believed that Ji Changze really wanted to fight for the people and the court, and they all wondered if he had any conspiracy.

Ji Changze: "The imperial guards also need experience. Your Majesty, please allocate military funds so that I can lead 10,000 guards to fight against the Hu people."

Oh wow!

As soon as these words came out, everyone showed a look of understanding on their faces.

No wonder he suddenly asked for a fight. It turned out to be for money.

Yes, it is already very remarkable that Ji Changze could hold on for so long. Now that he can't hold on any more, he can't really tell the emperor that he can't hold on any more. Shouldn't he think of other ways?

Now it seems that Ji Changze is still very smart. The Hu people are the prodigals of their Wen Dynasty. If he takes 10,000 people, he can still beat the Hu people.

In this way, he can not only get military merit, but also get a sum of money to hold on.

Tsk tsk tsk tsk, how could Ji Changze do anything rashly.

Hu Zifang also thought of this.

But when he looked at the people of Ji's party again, he saw that they were full of admiration.

"You are worthy of being a master."

"Love the country and the people, and volunteer to fight."

"You are really a role model for our generation."

When the other ministers heard this, they were silent for a few seconds and then looked disgusted.

Ji Changze's lackeys really didn't miss any opportunity to flatter him. They all suspected that Ji Changze brought these people around just to listen to flattery.

As a new lackey, Hu Zifang, the only one who didn't open his mouth to flatter, got a gratified smile from his father.

Although this kid followed Ji Changze, he still knew what to do at the critical moment.

It's all because of his father's good words and deeds.

Let him.

Hu Zifang himself "?"

No, what are they praising?

These old foxes must have seen something.

Could it be... he misunderstood Ji Changze?

Ji Changze really did it for the people, for the country, and for justice?

No way... didn't he dig a hole the more he looked upright?

But these people in the Ji party said so, maybe there were some small details that he didn't see? After all, the people of the Ji Party are not all aimless, and each of them is very cunning.

Hu Zifang hesitated for a moment, and also hesitantly followed and praised, "Sir, you are loyal and upright, I admire you!"

Hu Zifang's father: "..."

He moved to his son in small steps and scolded him in a low voice, "Why are you joining in the fun! Flattering others, don't you feel ashamed!"

Although he wanted to beat this son to death, he still wanted to save him after all because he was his own son.

Hu Zifang also whispered back, "Father, you don't know that Lord Ji is really loyal and upright."

Although he couldn't see it, didn't the people of the Ji Party see it?

Hu Zifang's father: "???"

Ji Changze is loyal and upright? ? ?

Ji Changze? ? ? ? ?

He asked, "Are you serious?"

Hu Zifang: "Yes."

Hu Zifang's father was silent for a few seconds, expressionless, and moved back in small steps.

This annoying son is hopeless, wait for death.
