The establishment of a crown prince is a major matter for the country.
Even if it is a rumor, it will become a hot topic of discussion.
Soon, the news spread to Qiongzhou in Nanyang.
"Master Qi, what do you think of this?"
"It's just a rumor, why should you care?"
"But Yu believes that this is by no means groundless, but that someone is deliberately adding fuel to the flames."
In the second hall of the provincial government office, Qi Yu and Yu Hai were sitting up and down, sipping tea and chatting.
This was a rare break from the busy schedule, so both of them were very relaxed.
Qi Yu put down the tea bowl and asked curiously: "It's not just a rumor? How can you see it?"
Yu Hai stroked his beard and said: "Recently, rumors have spread in the official circles that His Majesty once asked Lord Yin Jun in private whether he agreed to establish the prince Li Hongyu as the crown prince of the country. But Lord Yin replied that this is Your Majesty.
Why do you need to consult outsiders about family matters?"
After saying that, he did not forget to add a compliment: "Master Yin is really wise. He protects himself wisely in the torrent, and no one on both sides will be offended."
Qi Yu smiled and said: "Even you said it yourself, this is a rumor in the officialdom. If it is a rumor, what credibility does it have?"
But Yu Hai shook his head and said: "My lord, you don't know that this rumor was 'unintentionally' revealed by our Lord of Kunji..."
What?
Do you think this was said by the Queen?
If this is the case, it has a different meaning.
As long as you are not an idiot, you can basically understand her special intentions.
Empress Su was clearly hinting to the courtiers that her son would most likely be established as the Crown Prince of the East Palace. As for how you should line up, you can make up your own mind.
Qi Yu thought for a while and sighed: "My emperor is in his prime, in the spring and Autumn period, there is really no need to consider establishing a heir apparent so early. You know, any young prince can easily become the target of public criticism and a person who died young in history.
There are countless more.”
However, as soon as his words changed, he denied himself: "However, although Your Majesty looks strong and strong, there is still the possibility of getting sick from time to time. In view of this, it is good to make some precautions to be prepared."
Regarding the statement about Obao Xiaoyu, it is indeed not just talking nonsense, but it is based on facts.
If Your Majesty is really so prosperous, why would you come to Qiongzhou to seek medicine?
He was already wilting at the age of thirty, which is enough to show that his physical condition was beginning to decline.
Seeing the change in Lord Qi's words, Yu Hai took over the conversation and continued: "Supposing that His Majesty really has the idea of establishing a heir, Sir, when do you think he will announce it?"
"This matter...who can say for sure?"
Qi Yu shook his head at first, but then made a prediction: "With His Majesty's behavior, he likes to show off his merits most at the annual Zhengdan meeting. If you use this as a reference, he is likely to choose
Make decisions at the beginning of the year.”
Yu Hai thought for a while and nodded in approval.
Qi Yu couldn't help but fall into deep thought when he talked about the Zhengdan Dynasty Meeting.
This year is a ritual year for reporting on work. Participating in this grand event is definitely indispensable and cannot be avoided.
Different from the last time he went to Beijing, his purpose this time was not to care about the success or failure of the official examination, but to think about how to bring Yin Tao and Qi Xiao back smoothly.
For this matter, Qi Yu made a lot of preparations.
Mainly there are two.
The first is the jade seal he holds in his hand. With this bargaining chip hanging there, even if the emperor does not make concessions, he will not give up.
The second is the recent achievements in opening up new territories. At that time, I suddenly presented these achievements to the holy case, and His Majesty, in order to show that rewards and punishments are clear, will not be too harsh. Perhaps, he will let it go.
Already.
This is also the reason why he did not let the Western Expedition be published publicly.
The purpose was to catch the emperor by surprise.
Even if some rumors leak out during this period, don't worry. As long as you don't publicly admit it, this layer of window paper is not broken.
This is the unique privilege of a feudal official and cannot be replaced by others.
In addition to the above two items, Qi Yu also plans to once again advise Qiongzhou on new grains, so that they can be widely planted and then benefit the entire China.
Last time, the old guys in the cabinet kept trying to obstruct it, saying that the toxicity of the new food was unknown and should not be eaten arbitrarily. But now, the food for disaster relief has helped half of the country. In the face of the facts, what else can they say?
Woolen cloth?
The key is, this is indeed non-GMO! After chatting for a while, I suddenly heard a scout flying on horseback to report.
It is said that he has important military intelligence.
Upon hearing this, Qi Yu immediately rushed to the lobby and summoned him for an interview.
Huh~~
It turned out to be an urgent official document from Duan Zicheng.
So, is what you write about a good thing? Or a bad thing?
The answer is the former!
I saw the opening line of the letter: At present, Sumatra has completely fallen under the control of the Qiongzhou Army, and the king of the country has officially announced his surrender and attachment.
Sometimes, happiness comes so suddenly that you feel a little uncomfortable.
Qi Yu concealed his excitement and read the contents of the document twice in detail. He was afraid of missing any word in it.
"Haha, my daughter's technique of catching the thief first and catching the king is really mysterious!"
"Well! She is indeed my Qi Yu's daughter. She is as kind as a general and a tiger girl to her father!"
Without waiting for Qi Yu to give in, he grabbed the document and read it quickly.
According to this article, the legendary Jade-faced Rakshasa, who had not been seen for a long time, suddenly arrived in Sumatra.
Then, she captured the king of the country alive with lightning speed and handed him over to Duan Zicheng intact.
As for the true identity of the Jade Faced Rakshasa, Yu Hai naturally knew it very well. Therefore, he read this official document very clearly and thoroughly.
What Duan Zicheng really praised was not Qi Xiaotong's extraordinary martial arts, but her ability to judge the situation.
If she hadn't spotted that rare opportunity, how could she have accomplished something so easily?
The legendary combination of wisdom and courage is nothing more than the front, back, left and right.
But the most ingenious thing is that she also used the strategy of diverting trouble to the east to play with the British army, causing them to lose troops and generals, but also suffered a dumb loss that even she could not understand.
Duan Zicheng expressed his feelings: Compared with the last battle in Nanyang, Xiaotong's methods have been improved by several levels. The difference between the two is comparable to that of Yunni.
