Your Majesty the Empress, I am really not a traitor!

"I can make a small fortune from certain officials." Qin Ji whispered, "Do you still remember the canal that is being built now?"

"Remember, it wasn't expensive..."

"Officials related to the canal eat too much. Originally, my suggestion to His Majesty was to let them eat about [-]% of it privately. The canal is a big project, and [-]% is enough for them to eat."

"As a result, the officials in charge swallowed more than [-]% and nearly [-]% of the canal, and they still refused to stop. I asked them to eat a little to concentrate on building the canal, but their appetite was a bit too big."

"Since this is the case, why don't you all eat it, and just spit it out with the money you have been making before. I ordered the investigation of those who ate the most yesterday, and I also wrote the impeachment memorial. If there is no accident, The money of these families should be enough for emergency relief. After other people have been frightened like this, enough is enough."

When Qin Ji said this, he sighed meaningfully: "Oh, so people are greedy sometimes."

General Bai was a little speechless.

Dude, don't know if this counts as fishing?

But since his immediate boss has said so, he doesn't have to worry about money, so he can be relieved.After all, he doesn't want to be easily breached in Hanyin City again.

The celebration banquet was very lively.This is also an old tradition in Daxia, but what you eat depends on the era. The celebration banquets of the first emperors at that time were often based on barbecued meat and stewed vegetables.

But now in Daxia, there is a lot of food, chicken, duck and fish are all available, and most of them are meat. After all, most of the soldiers are strong and strong young men, and meat is their favorite.

These soldiers are really good at eating and drinking. Facing a jar of wine, they drank it so boldly.Fortunately, Xia Yuxiao didn't give the imperial wine to this group of people on impulse, otherwise she would have to drink up the stock of the imperial wine alive.

Before Qin Ji had drunk much, he was a little overwhelmed.Compared with the era he used to live in, Daxia's wine is far from strong enough, and Daxia doesn't pursue any degree, what they pursue is the aroma of the wine.

The aroma is the most important thing, but the taste of the wine is just a kind of seasoning, so Qin Ji, who hardly drinks alcohol, can easily drink several large bowls.

However, the soldiers couldn't help persuading them to drink, so they drank a little more. In the end, it was General Bai who came forward to "rescue" Qin Ji.

Afterwards, facing him who was drunk, General Bai had no choice but to let Lingyan be informed, and finally Lingyan rushed over to take him away, which was the end of the night.

When Qin Ji woke up the next morning, he found himself lying on the bed in his bedroom.

And Lingyan was by his side right now.

At the same time, Xia Yuxiao was sitting beside her.

"!??"

Qin Ji's originally chaotic mind was immediately awakened by this scene. He sat up all of a sudden, and then looked at Xia Yuxiao:

"How about you, Your Majesty?"

"It's been a day since Qing Zui was drunk, and you didn't come for the award ceremony. I asked after I found out that you haven't woken up yet. Come and have a look after the award ceremony."

Xia Yuxiao looked at the person in front of her.

Finally, I found some shortcomings of this guy. He has a really bad capacity for alcohol, and he will pour down after drinking a little.

But to be honest, this shortcoming is not of much use.People always tell the truth after drinking, but for him, if he drinks too little, he will not get drunk, if he drinks too much, he will fall asleep and die without even talking in his sleep. What's the use of drinking after that?

The wine is a bit too good, how can I get something out in the future?

Please forgive me, the update will be uploaded after the examination and compilation, at least double daily can be guaranteed~

Chapter 59 The Emperor's Arrival

Seeing that His Majesty came to see him in person, Qin Ji hastily sat upright and said, "Your Majesty will forgive you for your misconduct after drinking."

"Come on, you fell down immediately after drinking, what's the crime?" Xia Yuxiao waved her hand helplessly, "Anyway, rumors about your low drinking capacity have been circulating in the military for a long time, and this time is not too much. .”

An Guogong Qin Ji is not good at drinking, this is known to many soldiers, so when Qin Ji led the troops before, the soldiers would never give him a chance to drink before the war.

But after winning the battle and going back, they will deliberately pour the boss down.

However, since Qin Ji brought Lingyan with him often, basically no one dared to teach him. This time was a rare time when Lingyan was not around, so everyone naturally thought of their traditional performing arts.

"How is the award ceremony going? Is it going well?"

The first thing Qin Ji thought about was the reward ceremony.For Daxia, every time a victory is won, the soldiers will pay attention to such things as the award ceremony.

On the one hand, the rewards in the award ceremony can bring a considerable amount of income to one's family, and at the same time, carrying the honor bestowed by the emperor on one's body is much more majestic.

"Don't worry, everything is going well. General Bai will reward you with a gold silk padded robe, and you will be awarded the title of General, with a reward of [-] gold dragons; each of the [-] soldiers below will reward you with [-] silver fish, and those who are meritorious will be rewarded for their merits; Although I didn't directly participate in the battle this time, but the deployment and operation were proper, and I rewarded a large piece of land in the northern border."

"Well, it's fine."

Qin Ji supported his aching head and said.

General Bai has always been a general, and there is always a gap between him and the position of great general, and he has never been able to get up.Now that I have finally become a general, I have to say that it is really a...

and many more! ?

Qin Ji's mind, which was still in a state of chaos, suddenly turned around.

What's the meaning?He needs to be nominated by the Taiwei to be promoted to the rank of general. Although the emperor can be promoted directly...but this involves many interests behind it.

Now Xia Yuxiao promoted General Bai, who had been stuck for so many years, to a general?

Qin Ji felt his brain hurt even more.

He understood what Xia Yuxiao was thinking. General Bai was old and capable now. If there were any generals who could check and balance with him, General Feng Bai was indeed the only one.

But the problem is... is she really not afraid of making trouble on her own?

"Your Majesty, you appointed General Bai as the Great General. Has this matter been discussed by the ministers?"

Qin Ji asked seriously.

Laughing to death, how can Qin Ji not know? If it had been discussed by the ministers of the DPRK and China, the ministers would not have discussed any results at all. Some of the ministers of the DPRK and China are his henchmen, and there are more among the generals. Some are even veterans brought out by their own father.

Faced with such an arbitrary decision by the emperor, it is believed that at least half of the people in the court will oppose such a resolution.

But now, Xia Yuxiao did it directly.

Qin Ji didn't know what she was thinking, making such an operation at this time was tantamount to dancing on a tightrope.

"I have discussed this matter with the prime minister and several generals, and several of them agree with this approach. After all, General Bai has been loyal to Daxia for so many years, and it is time to give him an explanation."

Xia Yuxiao said calmly.

"Or, Qing thinks that General Bai's military achievements are not enough to be promoted to the rank of General?"

"I don't mean that. It's just that the position of general can't be decided overnight. I think it should be decided after proper discussion. If General Bai is promoted so hastily, if there are people in the court who disagree with this move, It will cause trouble for General Bai's actions in the future."

"Qing also saw it, and now my people in Great Xia all recognize General Bai. The public opinion is so, and the government and the opposition do not have any negative comments on General Bai. Why not?"

Seeing Xia Yuxiao like this, Qin Ji was happy.

So, a creature like the Emperor...

"Since His Majesty insists so much, I will obey His Majesty's orders."

Qin Ji said.

The dragon guard who followed His Majesty was stunned for a moment.As she was specially sent to protect His Majesty, she never felt that the Anguo Guild in front of her was so obedient.

That's not right, the woman named Lingyan next to him seems to be on the verge of doing something, she is ready to die for His Majesty at any time, why is she suddenly obedient?

However, as a character with force value, she would not understand a problem.

That is, to Qin Ji, it doesn't make much difference whether Xia Yuxiao mentions the general or not.

Title only.Qin Ji was able to become a captain because he had the ability and connections to control military power, and only he could mobilize 30 troops—at least for now.

And if His Majesty the Emperor really intends to control Qin Ji's connections and military power, it will be a very long-term process, and it is not enough to establish a general.

The court ministers are not fools, yes, some of them may find him uncomfortable, but it will definitely not be to the extent that no matter who the emperor establishes, everyone will fall with the wind.And... some ministers think that killing Qin Ji will make Xia Yuxiao lose his support, while some ministers may think that Qin Ji will kill Xia Yuxiao and reap the benefits.

To put it bluntly, so what if His Majesty makes General Bai a Taiwei again?After all, General Bai still couldn't hold down the government and the opposition.As for him, although he is not as orthodox as the emperor Xia Yuxiao, he can definitely use other operations to disturb the other party's mind.

Le, want to use this method to stimulate me, let me take the initiative to bite the hook?Fishing law enforcement is not advisable, Your Majesty.

I can bite only a ghost.

Seeing that Qin Ji was really obedient, Xia Yuxiao couldn't help being a little disappointed.

"Since Qing also agrees with my decision, then I can rest assured. General Bai is a hero of our court, and so is Qing. I hope that you two can work together to achieve a great cause."

"That's natural."

After saying this, Qin Ji suddenly thought of something: "By the way, Lingyan, why don't you hurry up and ask the butler to make tea for His Majesty?"

"Okay," Lingyan stood up, "Oh, by the way, young master, which one to brew?"

"Your Majesty's visit to the humble house is naturally the best!"

Qin Ji had a headache for his guard.

"it is good."

"You two...are you really masters and servants?"

Xia Yuxiao expressed doubts about this.

I have never seen such a guard and master.

"Tsk, just use it as it is, how can you resign." Qin Ji spread his hands and said.

"Aha, this is the first time I've seen you two in this state."

The two of them chatted a little bit about the policy of handling some domestic affairs, and after a short while, they heard footsteps coming from outside.

The old butler walked in gracefully, then set up the exquisite iced porcelain tea set, and poured tea for the two of them.

Xia Yuxiao gracefully picked up her teacup and took a sip.

Familiar fragrance, familiar sweetness...

Woooooo, my royal tribute, my royal tribute from Liangchun Mountain...

Chapter 60 Master and Servant Practice

After seeing off His Majesty the Emperor with a displeased face, Qin Ji lay on his bed, thinking about what had happened in the past few days.
