"I see!"
Zhao Ji nodded slightly, his expression showing no joy or sadness, but he looked at Eunuch Cao with a half-smile: "My dear friend! You are just telling the truth. It's just a matter of whether the royal family will have a baby sooner or later. Why do you look so worried?"
Eunuch Cao was stunned for a moment, then suddenly seemed to relax a lot, and quickly blamed himself: "As a eunuch, I am inevitably narrow-minded. I am worried that Your Majesty and the Prince Consort will have a rift between the father-in-law and the son-in-law. But seeing that Your Majesty is so open-minded, it is my imagination that is nonsense."
Zhao Ji smiled faintly: "When you get old, you should relax a little. Why do you always have so many fantasies? You should take good care of your heart. You still have to stay with me for a few more years!"
Eunuch Cao hurriedly said, "Thank you for your teachings, Your Majesty!"
Zhao Ji waved his hand: "Go down and rest!"
"yes!"
Watched Eunuch Cao leave.
The smile on Zhao Ji's face slowly faded, and no joy or sadness could be seen in his slightly cloudy eyes.
Just sit there quietly.
a long time.
The eunuch's voice was heard outside the door.
"Your Majesty, Lord Julu requests an audience!"
"Um?"
Zhao Ji raised his eyebrows slightly. The Zhao clan had one marquis and two earls.
During the last palace coup, Marquis Changping and another earl both jumped out. Now these two groups of young people have been completely favored by Zhao Ji to take over.
Only Julubo is left...
This Julu Earl has always been very close to the royal family, so he did not participate at all last time.
But he was also a very conservative person among the royal family and was extremely dedicated to protecting the interests of the royal family.
Recently there was a court meeting.
He also repeatedly proposed to fully occupy the new land and put the military power completely in the hands of the Zhao family.
In fact, the bulk of the military power has always been in the hands of the Zhao family, but the training of new recruits and reserve forces are all done by generals of other surnames. The city defenses of several cities near Xinli are also not in the hands of the Zhao family. This is to prevent the army from becoming the Zhao family's back garden and cultivating another military noble like the Marquis of Changping.
So Zhao Ji didn't nod.
I guess Lord Julu came here today for this matter.
Zhao Ji thought for a moment and said calmly: "Let him in!"
"yes!"
A moment later.
Julu Bolong, who was in his prime, walked in with the gait of a tiger.
He is about 40 or 50 years old, which is the peak of his personal combat power. Although he has not yet comprehended the supernatural powers and broken through the realm of enlightenment, he is also a rare and powerful general among soldiers.
It's just that this powerful general has been feeling rather insecure recently and often dreams about his subordinates giving him orders all the time.
Meet Zhao Ji.
He immediately bowed respectfully: "Old minister Zhao Du greets Your Majesty!"
Zhao Ji smiled warmly: "Brother, there is no need to be polite. The court meeting has ended. Why did you come back?"
Zhao Du took a deep breath and said, "Your Majesty! I heard that Xindi is going to recruit the second batch of new soldiers soon. My family are all good soldiers. We have killing skills but we are all idle at home. So I beg Your Majesty to allow me to go to Xindi to train the new king and fulfill my wish to serve the country."
Zhao Ji smiled and waved his hand: "My cousin is a rare and powerful general in the world. If he is only used to train the new army, it would be a bit of a waste of his talent."
Zhao Du was a little annoyed. Was this another rejection?
"His Majesty……"
"but……"
Zhao Ji changed the subject: "Xinli City has been basically completed. This city is the most important part of the entire new land. The city defense must not be taken lightly. It must be guarded by elite soldiers. Most of the newly trained recruits are near Xinli, so they must have a place to go. I wonder if my cousin is willing to take on this hot potato!"
Zhao Du was overjoyed: "Thank you, Your Majesty!"
…
New Licheng.
A new building has been built not far from the palace. It is said to be the future Prince Consort's residence. It looks to be quite large, but the construction progress is not as fast as other places. It may take more than a year to be completed.
The palace is also being expanded at a leisurely pace.
Progress is also alarmingly slow.
Because the early construction focus of Xinli City has always been on convenient infrastructure, the residences of the powerful and wealthy have a very low priority.
This disappointed many families who had moved in early.
First, the living environment is not very good.
Second,...we don't know when the capital will be moved.
However, the matter of moving the capital was not something they could worry about.
The big boss who can decide to move the capital is fishing peacefully in the Prince's Mansion?
“Yo!”
Ying Wuji wrapped himself in a cotton-padded jacket and ran to the old man beside the pond: "Are you going fishing again?"
Dalixindi is located in the north of the Central Plains. Although spring has arrived in the Central Plains, the rivers and ponds here are still completely covered with ice.
But my father-in-law's enthusiasm for fishing has not diminished at all. He goes out fishing every day in the afternoon when the sun is brightest and warmest.
Zhao Ji took off his cotton hat and looked at Ying Wuji with disdain: "It's been so long, why don't you show any courtesy at all? If it were someone else's son-in-law, the fishing hole would have been drilled by now!"
Speaking of.
He just threw the pole down.
The fishhook fell on the ice sheet, slid out a long distance, and then just lay there quietly, obviously unable to break through it.
Ying Wuji grinned: "Okay! I'll help you drill the hole."
As he said this, he flipped over the railing and landed steadily on the ice.
Looks pretty neat.
Just hearing a slight "click" sound, he couldn't help but become cautious and walked carefully inside, then held the fishhook to the position where it was hanging naturally.
Under the ice, there are faint shadows of fish swimming.
Ever since he was rejected by Zhao Ji for the first time, he dug up the best quality river mud to fill the pond, and then bought many fish fry. The species diversity of the entire pond is quite good. He even set up a magic circle to blow air towards the bottom of the pond to prevent the stagnant water from becoming increasingly lacking in oxygen.
