Chapter 96 New Year's Eve Banquet

The emperor on the high platform was always looking at the prince and the concubine beside him. His face was calm, but his heart was already unhappy.

At this moment, Ji Lan was holding a glass of wine and going back and forth with several ministers. It was quite a scene.

The emperor looked at it with a sneer. The situation in the court had changed dramatically. A year ago, he was still a man with his tail between his legs, not daring to reveal the slightest scheming. But now he is profiting from the situation and taking advantage of everyone.

Prince, prince, you must not disappoint me.

If this cunning fox is not removed, the country may not be stable.

"His Majesty."

While drinking, Ji Lan suddenly stood up and started playing.

Everyone is puzzled.

"Is there something to be announced by the Prime Minister?" the emperor asked.

"Your Majesty, I am honored to be invited by Your Majesty to attend the New Year's Eve banquet. I am truly grateful and happy."

"However, I am very scared inside."

"Oh? Why are you so scared?"

Ji Lan bowed his head and said, "Your Majesty, the border is bitterly cold and hundreds of thousands of soldiers are stationed all year round. Although our Southern Dynasty has a strong national power and a full treasury, the conditions are much better than those of the surrounding small countries."

"But the border has been swept by wind and sand all year round, and the soldiers have suffered a lot. Every time I think of us safely in Beijing, wearing brocade clothes and enjoying delicious food, I feel sad."

"Oh? I didn't expect that Prime Minister Ji was so worried about the country and the people. So according to what Prime Minister Ji said, is there any way to solve one or two?" the emperor asked.

"Your Majesty, the soldiers are guarding the border. Is there any good way to solve the pain of the sandstorm for them? It's just that I can't help but feel sad."

After finishing speaking, he looked at everyone in the venue.

"I hope that our colleagues in North Korea and China will enjoy the prosperity brought by this peace and live in peace and contentment without forgetting the suffering of soldiers on the border."

The emperor smiled and raised his glass, "Ji Xiang Bo'ai, come here, I'll toast you a glass."

Ji Lan quickly raised his glass and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty."

After drinking, he continued, "I am old. Even if I want to share the joys and sorrows with the soldiers on the border, I am unable to do so."

"Ranchen's son, Ji Chen, grew up in the prosperous Shangjing and has never experienced the cruelty of the border. Therefore, I sincerely request your majesty to grant my wish and let him go to the border to experience and join the army to express his gratitude to the Ji family.

The fearless heart of a family.”

One word can create a thousand waves.

The entire Yuexiang Palace started talking quietly.

He wanted to send his only son to join the army, or to live in the coldest border. What on earth did he want to do?

The emperor was also surprised, "Xiang Ji has thought clearly. You said it yourself, the border conditions are very bad."

Ji Lan was very insistent, "It is because he is not good that I want to send him away. Let him not forget how difficult peace is today. I beg your Majesty to make it happen."

"Prime Minister Ji, you should think about it carefully when you get back." The emperor did not agree immediately, "You only have one son. If something happens to you, I can't afford it." After saying that, he smiled.

"Besides, tonight is the New Year's Eve banquet. We won't talk about political affairs. As soon as you said that, my head started to hurt again. I finally took a moment to rest. Please don't embarrass me, Prime Minister Ji."

Although he said this with a smile, the warning contained in it was very obvious, and he didn't want to talk about it now.

As soon as these words came out, several courtiers began to beat their hearts and were in a dilemma.

Just as he was thinking about how to deal with it later, Ji Lan glanced over.

There was nothing they could do, so they simply felt disheartened, knelt down, and said in unison, "Your Majesty, Ji Xiangshi is loyal to the emperor and patriotic. He sacrifices himself for the public good. All the ministers admire him. Please do it for your majesty."

As soon as he finished speaking, there was a sudden silence in the hall.
