Chapter 435 I Want to Appoint Him as the General
Xixi looked at Ji Mingzhu, who had a loving face, blinked her eyes and shook her head, saying, "No need, Grandpa."
Perhaps no one expected Xixi to refuse so straightforwardly, so when she finished saying this, everyone's eyes fell on her.
Their little Majesty actually rejected Her Royal Highness the Eldest Princess.
The curve of Ji Mingzhu's mouth slowly dropped, but she still asked patiently: "Why?"
"Xixi, don't you want Zuzu to accompany you?"
Xixi continued to shake her head, "Daddy said Xixi is the emperor, and the emperor must be independent."
"Xixi sleeps alone now, she's very independent!"
As for the fact that her father had to coax her to sleep every night, Xixi thought it could be omitted.
"Xixi is very well behaved. Grandpa doesn't have to work hard to accompany Xixi."
Ji Mingzhu looked at Xixi, who had a look of "Am I very well-behaved?", hesitated for a moment and continued: "You are still young, there is no need to be so hard on yourself. Zuzu will help you if there is anything."
Xixi nestled in Ji Mingzhu's arms, thought for a moment and said, "But I'm fine."
"I only have homework assigned by the teacher, but Daddy said I have to do it on my own."
However, if Zuzu insisted on completing it for her, Xixi said that was fine because she didn’t like doing homework (╥﹏╥).
Ji Mingzhu took a deep breath and tried to ask, "How much do you know about the affairs of the court?"
"I don't know."
"You don't know? Your father..."
"Xixi."
Xixi looked at the person who came and happily stood up from Ji Mingzhu's arms, "Daddy!"
Xixi ran to Jisheng's side and was picked up from the ground by Jisheng.
Ji Mingzhu looked at Ji Sheng, who had come at the wrong time, and said with a smile, "Are you done?"
“There’s never an end to the work.”
After Ji Sheng sat down with Xixi in his arms, he said to Zhu Zhengchun in the main hall, "Let's go see how the imperial kitchen is preparing."
"yes."
After Zhu Zhengchun left, Ji Sheng looked at Ji Mingzhu and asked, "Will the Princess stay for dinner?"
Ji Mingzhu raised her eyebrows slightly when she heard Ji Sheng calling her.
And what he said, did he mean to send the guest away?
It's just a pity...
"Of course I'm going to stay."
Since Ji Sheng called her the eldest princess, Ji Mingzhu also changed the way she addressed herself, "I just returned to the capital, and it was not easy to see Xixi. I must stay in the palace to accompany Xixi for a while."
"Since the princess has just returned to the capital, it would be better for her to return to the princess's residence and rest."
Ji Mingzhu has a princess's mansion, or rather, Ji Mingzhu's princess's mansion and the Prince of Zhenbei's mansion had long been merged into one.
Now the Zhou family of Zhenbei Palace has not yet overturned the verdict, but when Ji Mingzhu comes back, it is also feasible to only open the Princess Mansion.
"Ji Xuanjun, I am Xixi's great-grandmother and also your elder. Is this how you speak to your elders?"
Ji Sheng's expression didn't change even though Ji Mingzhu's expression changed. He simply said calmly, "Princess, at your age, you should be enjoying your retirement. Wouldn't it be better for you to take good care of your health?"
When Ji Mingzhu was about to speak again, Ji Sheng continued, "If you really have nothing to do."
"Zhou Jianying is about to marry my general Zhou Beifang in the northern border. Why not let you officiate their wedding?"
"Bang!"
Ji Mingzhu slammed the table and stood up suddenly. She glared at Ji Sheng and said, "Ji Xuanjun, how dare you insult me!"
Ji Sheng couldn't help laughing and said, "Your Highness, I just wanted you to arrange your daughter's marriage. How can this be considered an insult to you?"
"Don't you know Zhou Beifang's identity?"
How could she allow her own bloodline to marry a barbarian? Absolutely not.
"I know." Ji Sheng hugged Xixi and said to the annoyed Ji Mingzhu, "Didn't I tell you?"
"Zhou Beifang, one of my generals in the northern border." Ji Sheng had no conscious intention of stabbing Ji Mingzhu in the heart. He just sat there comfortably holding Xixi and watching Ji Mingzhu break down.
"Before winter this year, he will lead the northern army to conquer Tiele. What kind of person could such a person be? Of course, he is a meritorious official of the Great Zhou."
After Ji Sheng finished speaking, he touched his daughter's head and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, what do you think?"
When Xixi heard her father calling her "Your Majesty", she sat up straight and said to Ji Mingzhu, "Yes, I will make him a general!"
"Even if he has barbarian blood flowing in his veins?"
Xixi probably understood what her father and her grandfather were saying. She seriously corrected Ji Mingzhu and said, "Grandfather, we are not barbarians, we are common people."
"After the Tiele are conquered, they will become the people of the Great Zhou. After the Turks are conquered, they will also become the people of the Great Zhou."
Ji Mingzhu looked at the father and daughter who were dreaming and sneered, "How dare you think that."
Can the father and daughter accomplish something that the Great Zhou Dynasty has not accomplished for many years just by talking?
If it could really be taken down, wouldn’t Zhou Cungao not want to fight back then?
"Of course we have to dare to think." Xixi looked at her ancestor in confusion, "They are weak and we are strong, so why don't we dare to think?"
"Dad said they always bully the people in the north. If we destroy their country, they will stop bullying my people."
The teacher said that this is called a once-and-for-all solution.
Ji Mingzhu looked at Xixi, who was fearless like a newborn calf. Her aggressive character was indeed very similar to Ji Sheng's.
However, deploying troops and food to wage war is not as simple as talking, and a country's prosperity does not rely solely on wars.
Nowadays, with natural disasters, man-made disasters, internal and external troubles, years of war will only waste people's time and money. The first thing they need to do now is to stabilize the country.
Looking at Xixi's current appearance, Ji Mingzhu was really afraid that Ji Sheng would raise her to be a warlike tyrant.
"But the teacher also said that not everything can be achieved overnight."
Xixi thought about what her teachers and father had said to her during this period, and continued, "After the general destroys Tiele, while deterring the Turks, he must also first stabilize the country. Only when the country is stable can it achieve long-term prosperity."
Well, Xixi had memorized and understood all these words. As for what to do specifically, her father and the cabinet would take care of it.
Now Ji Mingzhu was speechless.
Although Xixi spoke roughly, it was not easy for her to say these things at such a young age.
But when Ji Mingzhu discovered that Xixi was so smart and clever, she didn't want to let go.
She didn't have much time left to live, and she didn't want to have nothing before she died, so she wanted to regain power through Xixi.
From the day he left the capital in disgrace after failing in the party struggle, Ji Mingzhu vowed to return to the capital in glory and return to the position where he was second only to the emperor, or even directly above the emperor.
And Xixi is the one who helps her realize this wish.
