But General Tian's words actually planted a spark in Zhao Ji's heart.

To be honest, Zhao Ji really hasn't thought about this matter much for such a long time.

Because life is really more comfortable now.

Although the emperor now has more and more ideas of his own, he has never fallen out with Zhao Ji, and even at some moments he is still very dependent on Zhao Ji.

Zhao Ji never gave away any of the power he held in his hands.

Even if the emperor now intends to divide it up, he does not have the ability to do so, at least in the short term.

"Forget it, I don't want to think about it anymore. It's too troublesome!" Zhao Ji thought about it and sneered.

If they really wanted to rebel, they would have to find a pretext and gather the troops, and there would most likely be bloodshed.

It takes a lot of effort to achieve the result in the end, and Zhao Ji is afraid of trouble.

As long as the emperor didn't act too violently, Zhao Ji felt that such days would be just right.

When I really sit in that position, I will not be as free as I am now.

On the other hand, the little emperor has recently begun to feel a little bored of always staying in the palace.

"At this time of year in previous years, the late emperor would always lead his people on a tour southward. Why is it that this is not the case when it comes to me?"

Once again, when the little emperor's suggestion of a tour was blocked by the court officials with various reasons, he finally couldn't help but explode.

Seeing that the emperor was extremely angry, some ministers turned their attention to Zhao Ji.

In fact, this is nothing more than a habit they have developed before. Whenever they encounter things that cannot be decided or are difficult to handle, some ministers in the court will subconsciously seek Zhao Ji's advice.

This is actually not about party affiliation or real thoughts.

It's just a subconscious behavior.

But the emperor was sitting on the dragon throne, so he could clearly see the movements and expressions of everyone below.

The emperor felt even more annoyed when he saw that these people looked at the regent Zhao Ji when he was angry.

"Why are you silent? Am I the emperor of this country, or are you? Do you want me to give you my wheelchair?"

Although the emperor was talking about you, in fact his eyes were on Zhao Ji from beginning to end.

Zhao Ji could also feel the emperor's angry gaze. He smiled faintly: "Since the emperor wants to go on a southern tour, let the Ministry of Revenue provide nutritional support and the Ministry of Rites make arrangements. The ministers are only concerned about the emperor's safety..."

"If you are really worried, Your Majesty can just mobilize some troops to clear the way for you. If Your Majesty has thought all of this out and made arrangements, I'm afraid the ministers will not stop you!"

At this point, Zhao Ji smiled and said, "What's more, this prince and some ministers also want to go out of the capital to have a look. If this trip really happens, this prince will borrow the emperor's light to go out for a walk!"

Zhao Ji's words were so warm and gentle that they unknowingly suppressed the little emperor's depression.

In fact, the little emperor was just in a spur of the moment situation and he didn't consider the issues of the front camp and security.

Now that Zhao Ji's words were well-founded, the little emperor also began to think about these things.

After the court session, the little emperor told Xiao Xia Zi all his thoughts.

Xiao Xiazi poured a glass of water for the emperor, and then said: "There are so many people in the Ministry of Revenue and the Ministry of Rites in the court. I believe these adults will definitely be able to arrange these things properly and will definitely not let your Majesty worry. Besides, the Immortal Emperor has made so many southern tours before, and nothing has happened!"

"Of course, the Regent must be worried. It's not necessarily all perfunctory or evasive..."

Originally, the little emperor was grateful to Zhao Ji for agreeing so readily this time and even for pointing out what he should pay attention to.

Now, when the little emperor heard Xiao Xia Zi's words, his thoughts changed instantly.

He was originally grateful to Zhao Ji, but instantly became wary of him.

He even began to wonder whether Zhao Ji blocked his southern tour because he had suppressed something.

"I thought he was kind-hearted, but now I think about it, he actually has his own little thoughts!"

The little emperor frowned and showed a hint of anger!

Xiao Xia Zi, who was standing by, still had no change in her tone and brought some more desserts for the emperor to taste.

The emperor was in no position to eat these things at this moment. His mind and eyes were filled with thoughts about the scene in the court just now.

Unconsciously, I recalled the scene where those ministers looked to Zhao Ji for advice.

"I am a coward as the emperor. The regent is the real emperor of this court!"

The little emperor thought about it, felt inexplicably sad, and said so.

The blind boy at the side immediately pretended to be terrified and grabbed the emperor's hand: "Your Majesty, please don't say that. Walls have ears!"

Under his guidance, the emperor felt even more angry and sad.

"This is my palace. Even in my house, there are ears on every wall. Those people are really overreaching!"

Xiao Xiazi didn't say anything, but just quietly changed the tea for the emperor.

And as these things accumulated bit by bit, the emperor began to become more and more wary of Regent Zhao Ji.

There is also growing dissatisfaction.

Of course, although Zhao Ji felt all of this, he did not take it to heart, because in his opinion the emperor was still a person who had not grown up yet. In addition, now that the royalists had appeared in the court, it was normal to have such changes.

The southern tour soon began at the emperor's instruction.

Zhao Ji stretched lazily in his mansion. It was a rare day as he didn't have to go to court, so Zhao Ji was too lazy to go out for a walk. He just wanted to rest in his mansion.

As a result, I saw Qiu Feng, who climbed over the wall of the mansion in silence.

Zhao Ji shook his head helplessly: "Actually, you can go through the main gate. There is no one else in my house, and no one except the housekeeper can watch you. There is no need to climb over the wall... It's as if I asked you to do something shameful!"

Qiu Feng was originally in a very depressed mood, but after hearing what Zhao Ji said, he couldn't help but let a smile appear on his face.

Seeing that Qiu Feng's mood had improved a little, Zhao Ji asked, "You have been out investigating for such a long time, and you look so serious when you come back. What happened?"

Qiu Feng sighed, "I have found some clues in the investigation. The little eunuch who appeared beside the emperor, all his past experiences were fabricated!"

"I went to the hometown he filled out before entering the palace. There was no such person in that village, and he was not registered in the town's household register. It was as if this person appeared out of thin air!"

"Finally, I tried to get some information from the people who had been with him in the palace, but unfortunately I found that the person they pieced together was not the same person. In other words, what he said to everyone was different, and they were all lies!"
