Empress Yan thought that Ji Jie and Ji Yong were getting along, and she was filled with resentment.
In fact, this is not the case. Ji Yong, who was staying with Ji Jie, was not happy from the beginning, because the two had just met and chatted for a few words, and when they were about to get down to business, a servant came over to report that Empress Yan had arrived.
Ji Jie immediately showed an expression that he couldn't wait to see Queen Yan, stood up and said, "I'm sorry, I have to meet my sister-in-law when she comes. The king has just passed away, and she needs comfort!"
After saying that, Ji Jie turned around and left regardless of whether Ji Yongtong disagreed.
"Then you..." Ji Yong had no choice but to take back his outstretched hand, cursing and muttering to himself: "That annoying woman, she didn't come earlier, she didn't come later, she just came at this time, deliberately causing trouble, right?"
Ji Jie left the door and went directly to another courtyard without going to see Empress Yan at all, but Ji Yongyong didn't know and thought they had met.
Empress Yan had nothing to say and continued chatting with Ji Lin for a few words. The atmosphere was so awkward that she took the initiative to get up and leave.
After seeing off Queen Yan, Ji Lin found Ji Jie. She didn't understand why she did this.
"Haha, listen to me explain to you!" Ji Jie hugged Ji Lin and sat on the bed, smiling and said: "Your second brother and your sister-in-law are the kind of masters who have brains but don't follow the right path. Deal with them Of course, we can't act according to common sense! What I want to do is to make them suspicious and suspicious of each other. Haven't you always thought that your eldest brother's death was a bit strange? Let's muddy the water first, and the truth will come out later."
"So that's it!" Ji Lin pouted and said, "They also said that people don't work hard on the right path. What about you? You are the most evil one. I once said something, he said that he can offend anyone. Don’t offend you, and don’t be your enemy to anyone who is your enemy, otherwise one day you will find that you will die miserably!”
"Damn, is this how my uncle evaluates me?" Ji Jie could only smile bitterly.
"Don't say bad words, I'm just complimenting you!"
"Oh, that's such a good compliment, I believe it!"
…
Ji Yong and Empress Yan were both ready to go to war with each other, but they suddenly realized that they had no leverage against each other. Could it be that they sent people to attack them directly? Wouldn't that be polite?
Ji Yong thought about using force to force the palace. With the two to three hundred servants he supported, he had a chance to take over the Yan Palace. Of course, the premise was that Ji Lin did not send troops to cause trouble, but that was not possible now. Ji Jie was here, even if he entered He didn't lead any soldiers when he entered the city, but as long as he was there, Ji Lin's soldiers were his soldiers.
Queen Yan was planning to directly declare her son to succeed the throne, but she was afraid that the ministers would not approve it. After all, a group of people had been bribed by Ji Yong, and her son had not been named the prince after all. Before she was 100% sure, She didn't dare to act rashly.
At this time, rumors spread on the street that King Yan was killed by his younger brother Ji Yong!
One stone stirred up a thousand waves, and Ji Yong became a street rat, with everyone shouting to beat him up.
Queen Yan was happy and was about to lead people to rush into Ji Yong's house and capture him. Regardless of whether he was the culprit of King Yan's death, I would take him as such and she would kill him.
Before Queen Yan had time to take action, everyone's rumor changed and it was actually Queen Yan who killed King Yan.
Ji Yong did not dare to go out for several days. After the rumors changed, he immediately rushed to the palace with his servants, making noisy noises.
Needless to say, all of this was done by Ji Jie. He was familiar with creating rumors. He had realized the importance of public opinion even in an ignorant feudal society.
Soon, the rumor changed again, this time it turned out that Queen Yan and Ji Yong teamed up to kill King Yan!
To be honest, the people in Jicheng City can't keep up with the speed of change, but the person who said these words has a nose and an eye. Many people have boarded the same "thief ship" again and again.
Ji Lin had some opinions on this. He went to Ji Jie and said, "I have no objection to you asking me to be the King of Yan, but I can't ruin the reputation of my sister-in-law and second brother like this!"
Ji Jie said nonchalantly: "The two of them don't have a good reputation to begin with! Don't worry, after you inherit the throne, you can just announce that the previous things are all rumors. The common people are the best to lie!"
"Okay then!" Ji Lin pouted and asked, "When will this end? I'm really tired!"
"Right away!" Ji Jie waved his hand, and the three Xiong brothers came quickly and bowed together: "Your Majesty, please give me your orders!"
"The three of you go out of the city and bring in 6,000 soldiers and horses!" Ji Jie said: "Don't make any stops after entering the city. Go straight to the Yan Palace and surround me, but no one can enter without my order. !”
The three of them nodded at the same time, and Xiong Kui asked: "Will the people guarding the city gate let us enter the city?"
Ji Jie smiled, stretched out his hand towards Ji Lin, and said, "General, if I can lend you your token, the officers and soldiers guarding the city gate will give you face, right?"
The corners of Ji Lin's mouth turned up slightly, she took off a token from her belt and said, "Not to mention the city gate officials, even the palace guards wouldn't dare to stop me if they saw it!"
After Ji Jie took the token, he handed it directly to Xiong Kui and said, "You guys set off immediately and try to complete the siege of the palace within half an hour!"
"Got the order!"
After making these arrangements, Ji Jie and Ji Lin got into the carriage together and slowly headed towards the palace.
There was a chaos outside the palace gate. Ji Yong's private soldiers and the court officers were at war with each other. One side wanted to rush into the palace to question the "mother-in-law" who killed the king's brother, while the other side guarded the gate tightly and refused to let them in.
"Damn it, haven't you guys heard that my brother Wang was killed by that stinky bitch from Queen Yan!" Ji Yong waved a long sword in his hand and said in a loud voice: "If you know what's going on, get it to me right away!" Get out of the way, and when I finish it, that bitch will sit on the throne of the king, and you are all worthy ministers, otherwise we will kill the nine tribes!"
The leader of Tingwei was unmoved and said coldly: "Not to mention the rumors we heard that Prince Ji Yong killed the king. Even if it wasn't, no one would be able to break in. I advise you to leave quickly, otherwise once Use your hands, the sword has no eyes!"
"You are fucking scaring me. I, Ji Yong, am not scared!" Ji Yong pointed his sword and shouted: "Come for me, anyone who dares to block the road will be shot!"
Just as the two parties were about to fight, a sweet shout came: "Stop!"
The first person to jump out of the carriage was Ji Jie, then Ji Lin, and then a group of soldiers and horses in neat military appearance arrived and surrounded the gate.
Even though Ji Yong was uneducated and unskilled, he saw something. The equipment and weapons in his hands were obviously different from those of Yan Jun. Looking at Ji Jie with a confident smile on his face, he suddenly realized.
"Your Majesty, the palace has been surrounded by us!" Xiong Kui hugged Ji Jie and said, "Please give me your orders!"
Ji Jie waved his hand, and Xiong Kui retreated behind him.
Ji Yong knew that he was no match, so he walked over with a smile on his face and said hello: "Sister, brother-in-law are here, haha, what are you doing?"
Ji Jie raised his eyebrows and said: "Of course we are taking over the Yan Palace. Since you are here too, let's go in together!"
