Civil and military officials of the Manchu dynasty, begging me to ascend the throne

Since the Northwest Military Camp has now sent a savior, Jiang Yi can finally breathe a sigh of relief.

It seems that all the emperors of Daxia are very wary of the grassland people, but on the contrary, they have a contemptuous attitude towards the Nanman people who are constantly turbulent.

This view seems to have some inherent truth.

For example: the grassland people are more aggressive and ambitious, and they seem to never give up until they invade the Central Plains.

The attacks of the Nanman people were mostly aimed at a few territories in the south. There were only three or four cities, which were always in contention between the Nanman people and the Daxia people.

But the Nanman people don't seem to be very interested in other territories.They only focus on a few plots of land around and nearby them.

Relatively speaking, the Nanman people are more friendly. When they are not fighting, men farm and women weave, and they also engage in their unique religious activities.

Although I am respectful and insensitive to these Daxia people, I still have a sense of familiarity brought about by similar lives.On the contrary, the nomadic life of the Qingyi people, the cruel living customs of the grasslands, and the cruel living customs of the Qingyi people are so intimidating to the Daxia people that they are even incorporated into stories to scare children.

This is also the source of the fear and vigilance of generations of Daxia people towards the Qingyi people.

It seems that as long as the Qingyi people and the grassland people go south, the country will perish and the people will have no life.

It is precisely because of this that there are many more soldiers and generals in the camp on the northwest border than in the southwest military camp.

To the people of Daxia, the Nanman people were terrible neighbors, but the people of Daxia could still accept them.

But the Qingyi people, those neighbors who harbor evil intentions, must be on guard against them, make false promises, and then eradicate them completely before they can let go of their hearts.

This basically represents the Daxia people’s basic views on Qingyi people.

This is also Jiang Yi's current view.

Therefore, after the news came that the Qingyi people were about to take action, Jiang Yi was so panicked that he even did not hesitate to use King Wen.

But on the contrary, no matter how fierce the attack of the Southern Barbarians was and how miserable the war was, Jiang Yi always paid little attention to it.

But fortunately, this battle was fought well, and the two sides were considered a draw.

For Jiang Yi, the only thing that needs attention is that the military newspaper mentioned that the king of Huai'an County was injured by the Nanman.

The Prince of Huai'an...

Jiang Yi subconsciously rubbed the pattern of his sleeves with his fingertips, and his eyes began to move up slightly, thinking.

The Prince of Huai'an County was my father's safety lock and a barrier to the south.

It is precisely because of this that the father once valued and even trusted the prince of Huai'an County so much that he even brought his son Fu Sheng to the capital to serve as the crown prince's accompaniment to the palace.

Jiang Yi recalled that in the past, even his father was closer and gentler to Fu Sheng than to him.

It seems that there should be a relationship in this regard.

The Huai'an County King's fiefdom is located in several cities on the border with the Nanman, and he also holds military power in his hands.

In the past, the south had both the famous General Cheng Lao and a county king who suppressed it. After 30 or [-] years, there was never any trouble.

Jiang Yi's pupils shrank slightly, and the corners of his mouth curved slightly.

"It seems like my father is really smart..."

Only then did Jiang Yi realize that there was something admirable about Jiang Qi, the emperor.

There was a slight twitch in his heart, and he had a strange feeling.

"But since this trick can work, why is my father not in the northwest, repeating this trick and repeating the same trick?"

Thinking of this, a trace of doubt flashed in Jiang Yi's eyes, but it was quickly replaced by a rising understanding.

"Father, it's not that I can't... or that I don't want to?"

Jiang Yi's eyes became calm and sharp, and he was now retracing his father's thoughts in his mind.

"Even until death, we must hold on to our rights—and our reputation."

Jiang Yi recalled that he could watch the scenes after the political discussions in the court.

"Father is trying to maintain balance..."

"Whether it's a party struggle in the court or a military camp." Jiang Yi's eyes flashed with light, and he seemed to be getting clearer and clearer about his former father's thoughts and opinions.

"Wangge was old and powerful, so my father named Mr. Ji at that time as Taifu. In the south, General Cheng is not worried. He still needs the king of Huai'an County to maintain balance. To the north..."

Jiang Yi didn't know much about the Northwest Military Camp, but now the entire country's top-secret information is open to him alone, which also allows Jiang Yi to discover more things.

"The one in the north is General Luan, but my father also granted the power of discipline to Magistrate Tao of Chengzhou."

"And me...and King Wen."

At this time, Jiang Yi had already seen through the tricks Jiang Qi had gone through.

It's just a 'technique' of balancing two aspects and suppressing each other.

My father's imperial skills seemed to be nothing more than that.

But Jiang Yi is different, or he is more timid.So make decisions more cautiously.

The war in the south continued, which made Jiang Yi very worried.

Coupled with the news that the Prince of Huai'an was injured this time, Jiang Yi suddenly had an idea in his head.

His dark eyes flashed slightly, adding a bit of sharpness to his whole temperament out of thin air.

"Since uncle is injured... then it is normal for Fu Sheng to go back to the house to take a look."

Jiang Yi caught the inspiration in his mind, raised the corners of his mouth slightly, and said to himself in the palace.

Chong'an, who was standing by the side, lowered his eyebrows and looked down. Everything he heard at this time would be treated as if he had not heard it.

"Go and pass this news to Fu Sheng? He knows what to do."

After a while, Jiang Yi continued to correct the memorial with his head lowered, while speaking to Chong'an in a cold voice.

"Yes."

Chong'an lowered his head slightly, and then hurriedly left the palace.

The next day, Jiang Yi received Fu Sheng's request document on his desk.

It said that my father was injured and wanted to go home for a visit.

All this was within Jiang Yi's expectation, and such smoothness made Jiang Yi feel a little satisfied.

Is this what it feels like to have everything under control?

Is this what entitlement feels like?

'It looks really good. '

……

In this way, a few days later, Fu Sheng received an imperial decree of concern from His Majesty, specifically allowing him to return to the mansion to visit his father.

At the same time, Jiang Yi passed on another secret decree to him.

This secret decree allowed Fu Sheng to secretly submit a memorial without going through the official court route.

Fu Sheng knew very well what Jiang Yi's plan was.

After leaving the capital this time, he will probably be like his father and never come back, right?
Next, he will inherit the mission of the Huai'an County Prince's Palace and compete with the Nanman people in the south.

Fu Sheng knew very well what this meant and why Jiang Yi wanted to send him out of the capital.

Now my father is old and seriously ill.

If this continues for a long time, the strength of the Huai'an County Prince's Palace in the south will decline, making the southern border unstable.Jiang Yi... no, it is time to call him Your Majesty now.This is probably what his Majesty is worried about.

Fu Sheng's stern face was rather depressing, with an aura of repulsion from thousands of miles away.

But in my heart, a stone fell to the ground.

Finally the day has come.

He finally waited for this day.

Different from Jiang Yi, different from the royal family.There are frequent battles for the throne in the royal family, and no one knows who will ascend to the throne until the last moment.

However, the king of Huai'an County only had one son and two daughters, and the eldest son Fu Sheng had lived in the capital since he was a child, studying with the prince. He was canonized as Crown Prince at the age of 13.

He is the only heir to the Huai'an Palace. This is an irrefutable fact.

It is precisely because of this that Fu Sheng knew his mission early even though he had not been with his father for a short time.

He is both a hostage and a pawn of the royal family.

Using him as a threat, his father, who held military power, did not dare to act rashly.

But at the same time, he gathered, drew in, and got close to his quasi-heirloom, who was still young at the time.

Having grown up with the princes in the palace, it was natural that at the moment when he should be a chess piece, he could not commit any act of betrayal.

The royal family...the late emperor...

It's really clever.

That's how two generations of Huai'an Prince's Mansion worked for them willingly.

Thinking of this, a sarcastic smile appeared on the corner of Fu Sheng's mouth, mixed with his cold power, which seemed particularly penetrating.

But he had to say that he even wanted to applaud and praise.

They did make Fu Sheng work for them.

How can the companionship of more than ten years of getting along day and night, and the companionship of more than ten years, be changed overnight?
Now that he has been put into a shell, he also has someone he misses in his heart.

He would never be able to escape like this.

"Go and call the housekeeper." Fu Sheng said to the maid standing at the door.

By the time the hurried old housekeeper arrived, Fu Sheng had calmed down from the aftertaste of the incident and regained his senses.

"Go and pack your bags. Let's go back to the palace. We probably won't come back this time."

There was a hint of silence in Fu Sheng's words, as if he was coming out of the dust.

The old housekeeper nodded calmly and said, "The prince has decided on a time?... But do you still want to say goodbye to... that person?"

The old housekeeper thought it through very carefully, but this question made Fu Sheng frown.

"Just three days later."

He avoided answering another question.

He didn't want to see Jiang Yi. Now they probably wouldn't have anything to talk about even if they were forced to gather together, right?
Yes, even in the past they were still the best friends. During Jiang Yi's wedding, Fu Sheng helped to hold back the wine.

But in just over a year, they were already strangers.

Fu Sheng didn't feel any regret or loss about this. He knew very early on that he and Jiang Yi were not on the same road after all.

Since we are not on the same road, why should we force...force to maintain that friendship?

Fu Sheng considers himself a fool, but even he, a dull person, is not willing to forcibly tie up his feelings.

He rationally accepted everything now and hoped - "Just maintain the status quo."

'So be it. '

Maybe they can see each other again in a few decades, and then we can talk about fate.

……

Qingyi King's City-In the Palace

Lu Qing was correcting documents conscientiously, and the flickering dim candlelight added a little warmth to his whole body.

"Are these people all xx?"

While correcting, Lu Qing kept mumbling some words that would not pass the examination.

He scratched his head irritably, as if he had woken up from the stupid self he had been in the past few days.

Can those people who can kidnap you to the border be good people?
Lu Qing, please wake up and don't be bought off by the enemy's sugar-coated bullets and three worships in the thatched cottage, right?
Ugh……

Everything started more than ten days ago.

At that time, he was naive and truly thought that his talents would be put to use.The previous ones were all setbacks, they were all his secret intentions, and they were all the king of Han mistaking pearls for fish eyes.

According to his character, he would not trust others after being persuaded a few times.

But the scary thing is... this Wu Mu is really a devil - (Lu Qing thinks he is) a devil.

Manipulating people's hearts, using his kind words and deeds and very deceptive appearance, he forcefully deceived his reason.

In those days, he was still immersed in the excitement of finally meeting the Ming Master, but the next second, he realized that he had arrived in hell! ! ! !

Nawu Mu, he is the leader of that group of devils.

Not only did he lie without drafting, he was simply deceived into being stunned.He was forced to stay in a daze for so many days, and even... signed a contract of sale for Qing Yi.

woo woo woo woo
Thinking of this, Lu Qing almost burst into tears, and the pen in his hand also stopped.The huge regret made his stomach convulse, and he almost vomited out everything he had eaten these days.

This is all the shadow Wu Mu gave him.

Lu Qing shook the ink-stained brush a few times, leaving a trace on the white paper.

Who was the fool who thought he was kind and easy to bully?

Do you think he is approachable and kind?

It's all an illusion, it's all an illusion!
Lu Qing thought angrily, even if the legendary Yasha came to him now, he would probably be kinder to him than the devil Wu Mu.

"What a devil..."

"Oh, what did Xiao Qing say?" A cold voice appeared in Lu Qing's ears, causing his dark pupils to shrink slightly for an instant.

I shivered all over.

Lu Qing held the pen in one hand aggrievedly, turned around to look at Wu Mu who suddenly appeared, and said tremblingly: "No...it's nothing."

Because he was frightened, his voice was still trembling and had a slight ending.

Does this devil walk without making a sound?
Lu Qing carefully put away the complaints in his heart, for fear of being seen by Wu Mu, a petty person.

Wu Mu walked out from behind his chair, and Lu Qing listened carefully.

There is indeed sound when walking, but the sound is very small.

However, this skill is good for scaring people.

Lu Qing thought, as long as he wasn't the one who was scared, that would be fine.

"You... why are you here?"

When facing Wu Mu, Lu Qing was so scared that he used honorifics. He was very flattered.He took a deep breath and forced a stiff smile from the corner of his mouth to deal with Wumu.
