No matter from any aspect, Xiao Jiuan should not return to Beijing. If he chooses to return to Beijing, it is not irrational, but stupid, but...
Ji Yunkai believed that he would definitely come back because she was still there.
"How could the prince not return to the capital after being summoned by the emperor?" Ji Yunkai was completely unaffected by the emperor and smiled calmly. The silver mask shone golden under the light of the fire.
"Are you so sure that he will come back? So... Ji Yunkai, how about we make a bet?" The emperor leaned back on his chair leisurely, without the aggressiveness of the past, only confident and determined.
"What are you betting on?" Ji Yunkai really felt that the emperor was not as smart as those ministers, and he was not as far-sighted as those ministers.
Those ministers knew it and didn't rush to take action against her. Why is the emperor so anxious?
Whether Xiao Jiuan will return to Beijing or not will be known in the next year. Can't we wait at such a short time?
"Xiao Jiu'an didn't come back to the capital before the Lantern Festival. Please do something for me." Calculating the time, unless Xiao Jiu'an rushes back to the capital as soon as the war in Yanbei ends, otherwise even if Xiao Jiu'an returns to the capital, he will not be able to arrive before the Lantern Festival.
.
The emperor admitted that he was plotting against Ji Yunkai.
"What about the six-step process?" After having dealt with the emperor so many times, Ji Yunkai could guess what the emperor was thinking.
Now, the most important thing to the emperor is this matter.
As long as he concentrates his power, whatever he does next will be easy.
"Your father is a capable minister, but it's not enough here." The emperor raised his finger and pointed at his head: "To play with that group of people, you have to be surprised to have a chance of winning."
Although Mr. Ji is a bit eager and courageous, his thoughts are still affected by the rules, and he is no match for those ministers from aristocratic families.
"Father will be sad if he knows." Ji Yun started to pick up the tea cup without drinking it, but held it in the palm of his hand and lowered his head: "Your Majesty should know that no matter whether you do it well or not, there is only one end. And I...
...Whether the prince returns to the capital or not, I am still the princess of Yanbei. As long as the emperor needs the Yanbei army for one more day, I can live a good life. Why should I take this risk?"
Unless Xiao Jiuan rebels in the future, or the emperor wants to force Xiao Jiuan to return, killing her will not be worth the loss for the emperor.
"Since it's a bet, of course there's a chance of winning. If Xiao Jiu'an doesn't come back, you can help me accomplish this, and I'll guarantee your glory for the rest of your life. If Xiao Jiu'an comes back, I'll allow you to reconcile with Xiao Jiu'an, and I'll make you the Princess Protector of the Country, and I'll promise you a lifetime of prosperity.
No worries." No matter which outcome, it was a profit for the emperor.
It's a pity that Ji Yunkai didn't cooperate.
"I'm not interested in the lottery the emperor gave me." If it had been three months ago, the emperor had agreed to let her reconcile with Xiao Jiu'an, she would have done it even if she had risked her life, now?
She didn't think the emperor had the ability to reconcile her with Xiao Jiu'an.
According to the domineering nature of that man Xiao Jiu'an, if he refuses to let go, it will be useless even for me, Tianhuang, to speak, let alone the emperor's intervention.
And her?
She admitted that she didn't really want to be divorced from the bottom of her heart. Her life was pretty good now. Not only did she not have to worry about being bullied, she could also use her power to bully others.
"What do you want?" As long as Ji Yunkai dares to ask, he dares to give it.
He is an emperor, he has the right to give and the right to take back. The more Ji Yunkai wants, the more he will regret it in the future.
"The Emperor wins, as the Emperor said. If the Emperor loses..." Ji Yunkai paused for a moment, then said nonchalantly: "How about you reward me with the small fishing village of Xinye?"
"Xinye?" The emperor was stunned for a moment before he thought: "That small fishing village across the sea from Beichen, what are you doing here?"
Xinye is a small and poor place. It is close to the sea. The people make a living by fishing and live in poverty. Not long ago, there was a tsunami that flooded the entire Xinye. Now the place in Xinye is so desolate that even the officials are not willing to do so.
go.
"I like to eat fish, is this a good reason?" Ji Yunkai knew that no matter what reason she gave, the emperor would not believe it.
"Ji Yunkai, I'm not kidding you." The emperor's expression suddenly changed, and he instantly became serious, no longer as relaxed as before.
Ji Yunkai was not affected, still holding the tea cup with a smile on his face: "Your Majesty, I want a place of my own. Apart from Xinye, I don't think you are willing to give me any other place."
Xinye is the land of Apocalypse, separated from Beichen by the sea. The sea is a natural barrier. Apocalypse cannot get through, and Beichen cannot get through. Although the people of Xinye live a miserable life, they are not affected by the war.
However, to Ji Yunkai, that natural barrier is really nothing.
As a military doctor who once traveled with a warship, no matter how stupid she is, she cannot know anything about naval warfare. Although she does not have the ability to build a warship, there is no problem in building several ships that can sail on the sea.
To Emperor Tianqi, Xinye was a small and dilapidated fishing village, but to Ji Yunkai it was a guarantee.
In addition to its military role, seawater also has another great use, that is, sun salt.
The salt currently used in Tianqi is all mined from salt mines. Not to mention the high cost and price, even the quality is really disappointing.
If she can use seawater to dry salt, it will also be a big income. As for whether the court will allow it?
This is not important. She doesn't need to sell it to Tianqi. She can just sell it to Yan Bei or Xiao Jiuan.
Ji Yunkai's reason was 30% true and 70% false. The emperor still didn't believe it, but he couldn't refute it. He only said: "You are a good person, why do you want your own place?"
"I've always wanted it, but I just didn't have the chance. Your Majesty, just ask, should we make a bet?" Ji Yunkai would not tell the real reason to the Emperor.
Having said that, let alone Xinye, he might not be able to save his life.
"I can't give you that place in Xinye, let's find another place." Although the emperor didn't know what the use of that shabby place in Xinye was, he could never give Ji Yunkai what he wanted.
Unexpectedly, Ji Yunkai didn't feel distressed at all, and immediately replaced him: "Okay, it's okay if I don't want Xinye. Your Majesty, will you give me Yufeng Mountain?"
"Yufeng Mountain? You really compete with Yufeng Mountain." The emperor suddenly realized that he could not understand Ji Yunkai.
He began to wonder, did Ji Yunkai really want Xinye?
Or did Ji Yunkai deliberately show that she wanted Xinye and then use his psychology to get what she really wanted?
"I like the water from Yufeng Mountain. I hope the prince will remember to bring it to me when he returns to the capital." Ji Yunkai said he liked it, but he had an indifferent look on his face. It was hard to tell how much she liked Yufeng Mountain.
Mountain water.
The emperor was even more confused.
What does Ji Yunkai mean?
Could it be that there is something important on Fengshan that he doesn't know about? (To be continued)
