You transmigrated to a world filled with feudal lords, becoming a hostage prince in an enemy nation. Please choose one of the following methods to escape:
A: Study diligently, cultivate noble...
Zhao Xin pondered for a long time, then uttered three words helplessly: "No problem..."
Ying Wuji looked at his emo face and patted his back with a smile: "Don't worry! Next time I go out, I will definitely let you know, as long as you don't follow me. If His Royal Highness the Crown Prince deducts your salary, just tell me directly and I will compensate you double!"
Upon hearing this, Zhao Xin's Sima face disappeared immediately, and his face suddenly turned into a chrysanthemum smile: "Hey! Thank you, Prince Consort! Prince Consort, where do you say we are going?"
"The palace!"
A moment later, a carriage quickly rushed towards the Feiqi Palace.
In a short while, the carriage stopped at the gate of the palace.
Ying Wuji jumped off the carriage and walked straight towards the palace gate. As a veteran patient with paranoia, he was unwilling to be exposed to a dangerous environment for a moment, even though there was Zhao Xin, a master of the fetal transformation realm, next to him.
But this brother is no match for the strong ones in the realm of enlightenment!
"Eunuch, my name is Ying Wuji. I have an important matter to discuss with His Majesty. Please inform me!"
“No need!”
The eunuch on duty at the palace gate smiled and said, "His Majesty has ordered! The Prince Consort is one of us, and there is no need to report when entering or leaving the palace. Please follow me, Prince Consort!"
"Why!"
Ying Wuji nodded. To be honest, he was really touched by his father-in-law.
This feeling of being cared for is really great.
Zhao Xin also said with envy: "My Lord, you are doing so well, aren't you? You can enter directly without reporting. In our entire clan, only three people can enjoy this treatment."
"Which three?"
Ying Wuji asked subconsciously.
Zhao Xin's expression froze. "They are all important figures in our clan. We can't easily tell outsiders about them..."
"Okay!"
Ying Wuji didn't care about these things. After all, what he was most worried about now was his own safety.
After a while, the two were taken to Chongli Palace.
Before he got close, he heard Zhao Ji's angry curse.
Looking inside the door, there were three men, one old and two middle-aged, who were being scolded like grandsons.
Zhao Xin pointed and said, "Yes! These three!"
Ying Wuji: “…”
The atmosphere that had been created collapsed in an instant.
The eunuch on duty was also a little embarrassed and whispered, "You two will wait here for the time being. His Majesty will summon you when he finishes his business. Don't make any noise, so as not to anger the dukes."
"yes!"
Zhao Xin had a stern look on his face. He stood cautiously behind the door, not even daring to breathe, which was enough to show how scared he was of the people inside.
Ying Wuji was quite curious and listened quietly to the noise inside, which was all Zhao Ji's crazy output.
"Ancestors' foundation?"
"You are talking to me about our ancestors' legacy?"
"Tell me! You, the Marquis and the Earl, do you still remember the oath you swore in the Zhao Clan Ancestral Hall when you accepted the title?"
"The ancestral heritage refers to the one-third acre of land you live on?"
"Even if our ancestors' foundation is rotting in your hands, why don't you lend the official position to outsiders temporarily?"
"Does anyone among you remember that since Duke Wen, our Zhao clan has declined to the point where we can only rely on foreign tribes to survive?"
"After several generations of hard work, my Zhao family has barely secured the throne, but the two lands of Wei and Han have long been in a state of despair!"
"The great Li people will all belong to Zhao!"
"Have you all forgotten this oath?"
"What you want is just to keep a few crappy official positions?"
"The successive kings of Li have burned their blood, and the longest-lived one is only sixty-three years old."
"Is their goal to protect you good-for-nothings?"
Zhao Ji was firing on all cylinders, and with every curse he uttered, the three people standing in the audience would lower their heads a little.
In the end, I couldn't even straighten my back.
“Huff!”
“Huff!”
"I'm so angry!"
"I'm really afraid that I'll be pissed off to death by you guys before I die from the Burning Blood Rush."
He picked up the cold tea on the table, but he lost control and the bronze cup was instantly blasted into powder by his escaping true energy and splashed in front of the three people.
The three of them bowed quickly: "Your Majesty, calm down!"
Zhao Ji snorted coldly: "Marquis Changping! You are the elder of the clan, how do you think this matter should be handled?"
Changping Marquis Zhao Ying quickly bowed and said, "Old, I think your Majesty is right. Three hundred official positions are not many, and they are only temporarily lent to the Imperial Academy and will be returned in the future. If you don't support the reform, how can I have the face to call myself a descendant of the Zhao family!"
His hair had already turned white, and his body was already hunched over. Now that he was hunched over, he looked even more like a frail man.
Zhao Ji nodded slightly: "What about you two?"
"I second the motion!"
The two earls bowed.
Looking at their submissive look, it is really hard to imagine that they came here on behalf of the royal family to quarrel with Zhao Ji.
Zhao Ji's expression eased slightly, but his tone was still stern: "Everyone remember, a country comes before a family. If the Zhao family's kingdom is stolen by foreigners, not to mention the shabby official positions you hold, even your heads may not be safe!"
"yes!"
"Go back!"
"Your Majesty, we are leaving now!"
The three of them looked at each other and didn't want to stay any longer.
Judging from Zhao Ji's appearance, he is really determined to carry out the reform. If it is an official position of 500, they will still fight for it.
Three hundred official positions have been given, so there is no need to cause a loss of life. Besides, Zhao Ji said it was just a loan!
None of them thought that the reform could succeed, so they were thankful that Zhao Ji chose the northern grasslands to make his move.
