"Bo Ji accepts the order."

Bo Ji gracefully stood up with the help of the eldest maid Lan Xin.

Yuan Chuhua followed Bo Ji all the time. After hearing this imperial edict, she felt a little uncomfortable in her heart.

King Ye valued Yuan Xingzhou so much that as soon as he came back, his father gave him the most important position of supervising the country. He remembered that at one time, his father was so weak that he could hardly breathe. , even though she served filial piety day and night, he never opened his mouth to give her a higher honor and status, allowing her to have real power in the palace.

When he was a child, the relationship between his father and his mother was not as rigid as it is now. He was always responsive to her requests, even if she did many ridiculous things in a moment of indulgence. He always said that the daughter of the Yuan family was born with a golden branch, and you could do whatever you wanted. You can do whatever you want without having to take into account worldly rules.

At that time, she was very happy to hear it and believed it.

However, reality slapped her hard again.

The queen mother told her that she was born to assist the king's brother, and she did not need to have any thoughts. Without the king's brother's blessing, she would not have the honor of a princess.

But it's obvious that she, Yuan Chuhua, is good at everything, and she doesn't need to rely on others to live. But in the eyes of the queen mother, Wang Di represents everything. Only with Wang Di can they have a future, and they all live for Wang Di. .

When she was a child, she was still unconvinced, but over the years, she has been "tamed" by her mother.

In Yuan Chuhua's heart, she prefers her father, but now her father can no longer protect her. She wants to get rid of her mother's disgusting control, but she has no ability to resist her mother.

She didn't like Yu Wensheng. Although that man looked like a fairy, he was a complete devil. She couldn't escape from a tiger's den and fall into his devil's den again.

She just wanted to use him to control the queen mother, but he saw through her wishful thinking at a glance and didn't give her any good ideas.

Later, the queen mother felt that she could win over Yu Wensheng. King Ye and Yu Wensheng were not dealing with each other and could cooperate with them, so she wanted to ask her to use a honey trap, but Yuan Chuhua only sneered in his heart.

Even if the queen mother is a thousand-year-old snake spirit, she cannot defeat Yu Wensheng, a poisonous and sinister ten thousand-year-old python spirit.

However, things always don’t go as expected. Yu Wensheng’s life and death are now unknown, and the eldest son Yuan Xingzhou has also returned. The father’s eyes now only have Yuan Xingzhou, and without her, just like the mother’s eyes only have the king’s younger brother. It's the same without her...

Why?

Just because she is a woman, is she destined to be a man's vassal?

Yuan Chuhua looked at Yuan Xingzhou with strong reluctance and self-mockery.

I didn't expect to encounter such a rare thing. As a noble envoy, Mu Jin naturally didn't have to kneel down to receive the imperial edict from King Ye.

He and the other two sat behind the long desk, picking up food and tasting wine. They originally planned to see what the king of Ye, who was reduced to a pile of mud, was doing, but he didn't expect that it would still be such a grand coup.

"No wonder even the queen of your Ye Kingdom dares to say that you are the eldest prince who disappeared that year? But Queen Ye, have you found out whether this person is really the eldest prince? If he is a fake person, your Ye Kingdom is afraid We need to change our surname and generation." Mu Jin opened his voice and loudly said something sarcastic.

Bo Ji was eager for others to question Yuan Xingzhou. Although she believed that King Ye must have checked his identity, what if King Ye jumped over the wall in a hurry and wanted to use fake things to get out of the siege?

Now that his body is in such a state, it may be difficult for him to even go to court. Plus, she specially put some cartilage powder in his diet. He has no choice but to sit there. Maybe he deliberately created a puppet to seize power on his behalf. , but it seems like something that old guy can do.

The old man was almost eliminated by her, but a "big prince" appeared at this time. How could he not arouse suspicion?

"That's not bad." Bo Ji seemed to have seriously considered this possibility. She glanced at the chief eunuch and said, "How can your Majesty confirm that this is His Highness the eldest prince? This matter is not trivial and cannot be taken lightly."

The Chief Eunuch responded to Bo Ji's question.

First he saluted, and then said with a smile on his face: "The Holy One has already confirmed it. This is undoubtedly His Royal Highness, the eldest son. The queen does not have to worry. How can a father not recognize his own child?"

The chief eunuch was loyal to King Ye, so after hearing Bo Ji's questions, he gave both hard and soft answers.

This was said overtly and covertly. It was normal for Bo Ji not to recognize him. After all, the eldest prince was not her biological child. If she insisted on distorting the facts and refused to admit the identity of the eldest prince, then she had bad intentions and ulterior motives.

Everyone present will understand what Bo Ji means and what kind of mentality he has.

Bo Ji sneered coldly, but she didn't care about the dog at the old man's feet. She said, "Recently, the body of the Holy Spirit has been getting worse every day. It is possible that he was temporarily deceived by some useful people. Besides, the eldest prince has been missing for more than ten years, but suddenly appears at this time, which makes people have to think more."

One accused her of having ulterior motives, while the other claimed that the other party was sick and confused, and was so stupid that she regarded a thief as her son.

For a moment, most of the officials present maintained a wait-and-see attitude towards the return of the eldest prince, and were surprised.

It was difficult for them to decide which side was right. If this was really the fake prince, then they would definitely not risk offending the queen by siding with him.

But if he is really the eldest son, and is so valued by King Ye, he is appointed as the supervisor of the country. The supervisor of the country is equivalent to the highest position under the king. Under one person, plus he is the orthodox heir of the Yuan family, it is more than Since they supported Queen Ye and a Taoist family in power, they were naturally more willing to assist the Yuan family in their orthodoxy.

But now, it is difficult to tell clearly whether it is yes or no, so it is extremely unwise to make a hasty decision. They must get conclusive evidence to prove that the returned person is His Highness Xingzhou, born to the former queen.

At this time, Yuan Chuhua, who had been instructed by Bo Ji, came out and made a suggestion: "In the early years, I heard that although the eldest prince is young, he is very smart. He not only understands poetry, but is also extremely talented in military strategy. Now you are both You call yourself the eldest brother of this palace. After so many years, you must have become more sophisticated in this way. Why don't you participate in this Six Nations Military Trial as the commander-in-chief and bring glory to the country."

As soon as Yuan Chuhua's words came out, the whole hall was shocked.

"He is the commander-in-chief?!"

"Is this okay?"

"Why not? Besides Yu Wensheng from Ye State, who else do you think can serve as the commander-in-chief of this Six-Nation Military Trial (military exercise)?" Yuan Chuhua silenced them with a rhetorical question.

"Since there is no suitable candidate to be the commander-in-chief, why not let me, my eldest brother who has been astonishingly talented since he was young, take over?"

In fact, it is not impossible. Isn't it possible to find a veteran general who can lead troops in the Wei family, a century-old family of generals?

able.

However, the position of commander-in-chief requires both ability and sufficient appeal. Not just any general of the three armed forces can be qualified. At the beginning of their discussion, they planned to appoint General Wei as commander-in-chief, but now that there is a better candidate, Then it's natural to choose the best.

Zheng Quchi was also confused.

This is not a good job... right?

As far as Yuan Xingzhou's current position as the Supervisor of the Kingdom is concerned, if he goes up high enough, he will have no choice but to kill his father and succeed to the throne. If they win, they won't get much advantage, but if they lose, it will be a big problem.

Not only can you not prove your identity for some reason, but you will be slandered as a fake. The most serious thing is that the Six Nations Military Trial at this stage is equivalent to rescuing the country from crisis. Once you lose completely, people who don’t know the truth will find out. He will definitely be nailed to the pillar of shame, regarded as the chief culprit who has humiliated the country and lost power, and his reputation will be completely lost.

"No……"

"OK."

Zheng Quchi, who was interrupted by the word "no" in the former, looked at the latter - Yuan Xingzhou, who had the word "OK" in surprise.

Brother, are you so lazy that you can't even say "no" with her words?

In fact, Zheng Quchi was wrong.

Ren Yuan Xingzhou believes that a real man cannot say "no", he is just saying: "Of course, my highness will do my duty."

Zheng Quchi: "..."

Such a stupid thing,

Do you dare to agree?

Here it comes, here comes the biggest slap in the face of Shuangwen, but the premise is... this is really a refreshing piece, not a funny article, and he is really the protagonist, not the villain seeking death.

Zheng Quchi's little face wrinkled up in sorrow, like a little old lady whose heart was broken by her disobedient son.

Bo Ji was very satisfied after hearing this. What made her even more satisfied was Yuan Xingzhou's ignorance of the world. A big smile appeared on her lips: "My son's suggestion is very good. It can not only prove the identity of the eldest prince, but also help me." The Ye Kingdom has gained glory, but the eldest son has been living abroad for these years, and he should not be familiar with the military situation of the Ye Army. However, Mrs. Yuwen has been with the General for a long time, so she must have a good understanding of military affairs. It just so happens that the Ye Kingdom's Fifth Army Trial Troops are still lacking. How about you take on the role of a lieutenant general?"

Zheng Quchi had not yet fully recovered from Bo Ji's "bullshit", "pretentiousness" and "nonsense" remarks from Bo Ji, but he heard that Yuan Xingzhou agreed.

"She is indeed suitable."

How suitable!

Zheng Quchi took a deep breath and looked at him with difficulty, as if asking, Brother, are you serious?

Yuan Xingzhou seemed to feel her strongly condemning gaze. His long and thick eyelashes were half-fallen, and his dull facial features were gloomy and cold. In front of her face, he raised a hand to give a high five, as if to say, still remember? What did you say?

That's right, we share blessings and share hardships, that's what their agreement at the time meant.

But the problem is that she has not enjoyed this blessing at all. This difficulty is like a scapegoat slamming on her head. More importantly, she cannot hide because Yuan Xingzhou likes to take the blame and he is very rebellious.

Zheng Quchi now really wants to regret it, wants to go back in time, and even wants to slap himself down to the ground, unable to get up, after he had agreed to him with a stupid look on his face.

Asking her to cooperate with a mentally ill person, he is crazy, and he has to drive her crazy. It doesn't matter whether she likes him or not, the main thing is that he wants to play an exciting game of PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds.

Zheng Quchi smiled but said: "It turns out that the trap is waiting for me here..."

When General Shen saw that Ye State had such a perfunctory and casual attitude towards the military test of the five armies, and even the commander-in-chief and deputy generals could order troops and generals at will, he became angry and said lukewarmly: "Hasn't Queen Ye given up on herself? Such women and children can also be deputy generals? Are they looking down on us?"

Bo Ji immediately turned her head, her expression at this time revealed an inexplicable meaning, she said: "General Shen is joking, I'm afraid you don't know, our general's wife is an extraordinary person, besides Yu Wensheng In addition to his wife, he is also a very famous craftsman. I wonder if you have heard of the leader of the Jichun Craftsmen Guild this year?"

She changed the topic suddenly and mentioned some inexplicable things. The ministers at the banquet and Shen Tangzhong were all confused after hearing this.

They are not ignorant people. They have heard that the Jichun Craftsmen Guild is particularly lively and special this year because the leader is a craftsman from Ye State named "A Qing".

For the craftsmen of Ye State, just hearing these four words can create a sensational topic.

The others didn't understand Bo Ji's words, but Zheng Quchi's alertness suddenly spiked.

After Bo Ji whetted the appetite of everyone present, she revealed the answer: "This Ah Qing is our Gong Zheng who is disguised as a man. He is also the wife of General Yuwen, Zheng Quchi."

The explosion caused by Queen Ye's words was no less than the news that everyone had just heard that the eldest son of the Ye Kingdom had returned and was promoted to Supervisor of the Kingdom. No, it should be said that it was even worse.

Hou Feiqing, who had been lazy and bored at the night banquet before, finally regained his energy at this time. With a pair of moves under his white eyebrows, he instantly looked in the direction of Zheng Quchi, his eyes very focused and serious.

Mu Jin's expression froze and he reacted for a long time, but then he looked at Zheng Quchi even colder.

Shen Tangzhong was very surprised. He didn't even believe that this thing was true.

Yuan Chuhua's eyes widened and he was stunned.

After all, she had always thought that Zheng Quchi was just a simple country girl who got Yu Wensheng's favor because of a moment of good luck and rose to the top in one step, but she didn't expect that

, what she said is true, she, Zheng Quchi, can still be famous even if she does not bear the halo of General Yu Wensheng's wife.

The important ministers and family members of the court all focused their attention on Zheng Quchi. Their eyes were both shocked and magical, as if they had encountered something impossible, but in the end it actually happened, and they couldn't help but believe it.

"So with her here, your craftsmen group may be worried."

Bo Ji deliberately said irritating irony.

Everyone knows that the use of ordnance is completely different from that of ordinary civilian-made wooden utensils. No matter how powerful a civilian craftsman is and how sophisticated his craftsmanship is, she can make weapons? Can she make armor? Can she understand large-scale siege defense equipment?

I'm afraid not, because this may be a cold and extremely lethal existence that civilians like them will never be exposed to in their lifetime.

It's okay for Bo Ji to mention other things, but she was so pretentious to challenge Zheng Quchi's area of ​​expertise. Her usually kind and round light brown eyes suddenly had a sharp arc.
