The waters of the royal capital are too deep, and if he is not careful he will end up in jail like he did back then.
It’s so nice now.
Although since the arrival of His Highness, the troublemaker, he has been working much more overtime than before.
But His Highness also knew how timid and cautious he was, and the tasks he assigned to him were mostly trivial. Even when defending the city, he only took on the task when there were not enough people.
Doesn't this Changshi's complaint make him seem ungrateful and power-hungry?
"Sir Governor! You are going too far... too far... Even if you are dissatisfied, what can you do? You are Madam Xiling's subordinate." This is too timid and has no ambition.
The Chief Secretary still couldn't help but mutter.
After hearing what the Chief Secretary said, Jiang Jian felt a chill in his heart, thinking that this person must not be kept.
"Too much what?! You are really trying to force me into a desperate situation, right? I am not the kind of person you want." Jiang Jian's voice became lower and lower as he spoke, his tone was completely cold, and even carried a hint of murderous intent.
After finishing speaking, Jiang Jian seemed to have calmed down and said, "After so many years, if you want to make a name for yourself, I won't stop you. I'll give you a good way out. Go and talk to Mr. Rucheng who is beside His Highness. Mr. Rucheng will arrange it for you!"
That's why he asked him to go find Cui Rucheng. Cui Rucheng was such a cruel person and was very knowledgeable about twists and turns, so he should be able to understand what he meant.
Everyone in power has their own taboos, but if there's one common taboo, it's definitely having subordinates who are disloyal.
Regardless of whether the subordinate is loyal to a relative or not.
Throughout history, haven't there been many who have killed their brothers and fathers? The words of this Chief Clerk clearly meant to roast him on the fire.
What does "Madam Xiling's subordinates" mean? Does this mean that Ji Wan can't control Jiang Jian?
This Chief Secretary is so confused in the head. There is no need to work under him in the future. Let Cui Rucheng deal with him as soon as possible.
Quickly throw away this confused and greedy hot potato, so as to avoid trouble in the future and getting himself into trouble.
And through Cui Rucheng, he secretly told His Highness that he had no second thoughts! He had already sent the man to Cui Rucheng to die.
"Zifeng, there's no need to see me off. Rucheng is behind the wall now. You can just bring your men in." Ji Wan's voice echoed slowly in the dark night.
Jiang Jian was so frightened that he shuddered and his face turned pale.
Then he thought about it and realized where he was standing and talking with this stupid chief historian.
Across this wall is the county magistrate's residence where His Highness currently resides! !
The chief official's expression changed drastically, and he turned around and took a few steps to escape.
He just didn't like working under Jiang Jian and having to deal with chores all the time. Out of resentment, he wanted to stir up trouble and let Jiang Jian talk to Ji Wan about it. He wanted to change his job so that he could also get better treatment.
If everything goes well, it is not impossible for him to anger His Highness and kick Jiang Jian out and take the position himself.
Who would have thought that Jiang Jian was so timid and had no ambition.
Yang Guan flew over the wall and kicked the chief clerk to the ground with two kicks.
Finally, Jiang Jian and the tied-up chief secretary were invited into the county magistrate's mansion together.
Ji Wan and Cui Min, who was still recuperating his eyesight, were sitting in the courtyard, brewing tea and chatting.
As soon as he entered, Cui Min looked at him with a smile.
He was under immense pressure, and in the end he could only kneel down in front of Ji Wan and cry, "Your Highness, please don't misunderstand me because of the foolish words of this Chief Clerk!"
Ji Wan looked up at Jiang Jian, who was pale with fear, and teased him, "Jiang Jian, what's wrong? Are you not satisfied with me letting you go mining? Then I will let you lead the troops to the battlefield and fight against the Northern Rong Kingdom. I will give you a chance to make great contributions."
"Your Highness, you must not do this. I am old and in poor health. Mining is a good option for me!" Jiang Jian now really wanted to travel back half a minute and strangle the chief historian to death before he could even open his mouth!
"Alright, let's get started. I'm just kidding you, it's okay to let Rucheng handle this Chief Secretary."
Cui Min glanced at the frightened Chief Secretary and nodded with a smile.
Ji Wan gave the case to Cui Rucheng to investigate whether this person had committed any crime, and if so, to kill him directly.
If not, and he just wants to climb to a high position and sow discord, and assassinate Jiang Jian in the process, then he should be sent directly to the front line to fight alongside the soldiers.
A month later.
The war did not seem to have any negative impact on the three cities of Qingshi State. After seeing the financial statements sent by Yan Peinan, Ji Wan nodded with satisfaction.
In comparison, the total production and income of the people are actually much higher than last month.
The imperial edict from the royal capital also reached Dancheng, Fanzhou.
Lou Shao's confidant received the imperial edict on behalf of Ji Wan.
Ji Wan has now become the 'King of Zhenbei' with 140,000 soldiers and horses.
After receiving the news from the border, Ji Qin angrily discussed with the Queen Mother and the Duke of Zhenguo, but there was no good solution. They had no choice but to pretend to be a family and confer the title of King of Zhenbei on Ji Wan.
Moreover, Ji Qin generously gave the three cities of Fanzhou and the three cities of Qingshizhou to Ji Wan as fiefdoms.
There is no way he won't give it to Ji Wan. There is only one city left in Fanzhou that doesn't belong to Ji Wan. The rest all belong to Ji Wan alone.
If Ji Wan does not give up the invasion, it is only a matter of time before Fanzhou becomes something in her pocket.
It would be better to give it to Ji Wan now, sell her well, and let Ji Wan charge at the front line to stop the barbarians, wolves, tigers and leopards of the Northern Rong Kingdom.
Once Ji Wan defeats the Northern Rong Kingdom, they will devise a plan to get rid of him.
It's a shame that Lou Shao was actually Ji Wan's man, and now he's turning against her. What a waste of money and resources to train Lou Shao!
The Cui family conducted several inspections of their retainers, purging many of the Third Prince Ji Ze's followers. This caused everyone in the capital to panic.
The Retainers Group was definitely the happiest about this. With the title of King of Zhenbei, it would be very easy to borrow troops, food, and money from neighboring states and counties.
"Congratulations, King Zhenbei, congratulations, King Zhenbei."
Within a month, several battles of varying scales took place in each of the three cities in Qingshi State.
From time to time, the enemy would beat the drums of war and start a war.
Ji Wan was very patient. She had a powerful formation to defend the city. As long as no one left the city on their own initiative, no one could get in.
Ji Wan was waiting, waiting for Gao Qu to mass-produce explosive packs, and also waiting for Lin Chanhua and Tuoba Feng's snow to fall enough to blind people.
During this month, the joyous snow in the Beirong army camp had only fallen before the Yongcang River, in the direction of Ji Wan's Tongcheng.
They believed that it was God who was helping their Beirong Kingdom, and that the Beirong Kingdom was blessed by God.
By the middle of the battle, many soldiers' eyes were burned by the snow, and they hurriedly decided on a strategy of changing shifts to observe.
