Chapter 774 I finally understand that we are all chess pieces
"Although it is the same crime, what you committed is different from what they committed. If they don't confess, they originally only committed a small crime. But because they shielded you, they would be guilty of the same crime as you, which would not be worth it!" Xiao Yan'an's words cleared up Ji Zhenghui's doubts.
"I understand." Ji Zhenghui looked as if he had suddenly realized something.
"You have been trying to kill me since the beginning! Your Highness, if you deal with me, aren't you afraid of chaos in the army? I have been stationed here for so many years, I must still have some strength in my hands. Your Highness, why don't you take this opportunity to accept my loyalty? Why do you want to kill me?"
"Ji Zhenghui, I'm telling you something. Si De beside Luo Jixun is our man." Xiao Yan'an's words extinguished Ji Zhenghui's only glimmer of hope.
He added: "I was afraid you wouldn't make a mess."
It took Ji Zhenghui a while to digest it before he came to his senses.
In this way, his fate was the same as Luo Jixun's.
Thinking more deeply, the information he first obtained was that Si De was a person close to the Empress Dowager. Later, he became the remnant of the Luo family and followed Luo Jixun.
In fact, this Si De was not helping Luo Jixun, but leading Luo Jixun step by step into an irretrievable situation!
"What a good plot, what a good plot!" Ji Zhenghui said, and laughed at himself. He had been plotted against for a long time. Not only him, but also the Empress Dowager, the Emperor, and Chang Ru. All of these people were pawns of the Huaiyang Prince's family.
"Come here, drag Ji Zhenghui away and execute him on the spot to show our military power!" Xiao Yan'an gave the order.
Ji Zhenghui panicked. "Your Highness, I am willing to take full responsibility for the crime I committed. Please, can you let my wife and children go? They are innocent."
"Whether they are innocent or not is not up to you to decide. I will have someone investigate, and as long as the charges are found, they will all be punished accordingly."
Ji Zhenghui was dragged out.
"Next, I will carry out military reforms in Yongcheng. This is also an opportunity for you to redeem yourself from your crimes." Xiao Yan'an looked at these people and said in a deep voice.
"Thank you, Your Highness." Everyone immediately knelt down to express their gratitude.
"Okay, you guys leave first." Xiao Yan'an hurriedly shouted for everyone to leave.
Only Ji Chuhe and Xiao Yanan were left in the room. Ji Chuhe looked at Xiao Yanan in confusion.
"Your Highness, after dealing with the affairs of Ji Zhenghui and Luo Jixun, aren't you going to return to the imperial capital to help your father handle state affairs? Isn't it your uncle who will be in charge of the military reform in Yongcheng? In the future, the garrison in Yongcheng will also be incorporated under his command."
"Madam, what you said was the original plan. Now there are some small changes in the plan. Think about how long my uncle has been in the northern border. Let him go back and reunite with his grandparents. Once I have dealt with things here, I will hand him over directly. Besides, there are so many new nobles in the court. Give them more opportunities to train." Xiao Yan'an said with reason.
Ji Chuhe nodded, "That's true."
"It just so happens that Madam also wants to go to Yongcheng to experiment with mulberry and hemp planting. She will have to stay here for several months at least. It will take me about the same amount of time here too. It's just right for us to go back together." The main reason why Xiao Yan'an tried every means to stay was to accompany Ji Chuhe.
I am more worried about Ji Chuhe's safety.
Even if Rong Song brought people to guard him twelve hours a day, he still felt uneasy. How could he feel more at ease if he guarded by himself?
The news that Xiao Yanan would not return to the imperial capital spread back to the palace.
"He stayed for He'er. He finally looks like a decent person." The queen had a smile on her face. "But I still say the same thing. I want to give He'er freedom. He'er can do whatever she wants. I don't want her to be bound by anything!"
The emperor nodded in agreement, "By raising He'er like this, you are also raising your younger self."
"Yes, I just want to see what He'er's life will be like." The queen's face was full of longing.
Eight months later, Ji Chuhe returned to the imperial capital with a batch of silks and satins.
Good news also came from the court. After the court attached great importance to farming, the first season of crops had reached the harvest season, and good news was heard everywhere.
Daxia's granary, which had not been filled for many years, suddenly received the good news of a warehouse overflow!
Less than a year after Prince Huaiyang ascended the throne, he had already fulfilled his promise to ensure that the people had enough food and clothing.
Ji Chuhe knew that for the next few years, there would be no natural disasters in Daxia, and the weather would be good and the harvest would be abundant.
In this life, under the rule of my father, Da Xia will surely be more prosperous and powerful than in the previous life.
Shops of the Royal Company were opened in every county town.
It has also become the most recognized shop among the people.
Both the price and quality are trustworthy. All the profits of the royal business went into the national treasury, and then were withdrawn from the national treasury for various construction projects that benefit the country and the people. This truly achieved the goal of taking from the people and using it for the people.
Ji Chuhe returned to the imperial capital and went to visit Marquis Wuyang on purpose.
As soon as Marquis Wuyang saw Ji Chuhe from afar, he was extremely excited.
"Xiao He! Our Xiao He is here to see me!"
"Teacher." Ji Chuhe stepped forward and saluted respectfully.
"Oh! I am so ashamed to call you teacher! Xiaohe, you don't know that your six military service policies were very successful in Huaiyang. I promoted them throughout Daxia. With the experience of Huaiyang, it's like someone taught me how to do it. I can get twice the result with half the effort. Daxia is now peaceful and harmonious!"
"Teacher, you are too modest. You have made an indelible contribution to Daxia's current situation!" Ji Chuhe said hurriedly.
"I don't deserve it. I really don't deserve it. Xiao He, you came at the right time. I have something to discuss with you. Let's go to the study and talk in detail."
"Okay." Ji Chuhe followed.
When he arrived at the study, Marquis Wuyang took out the imperial examination strategy that he had revised dozens of times.
"Imperial Examination System?" Ji Chuhe read the strategy carefully. "Teacher! This is a good thing! It improves the previous assessment system and has clearer clauses. Anyone can take the imperial examination and serve the country!"
What moved Ji Chuhe even more was that the imperial examination system did not have any restrictions on gender.
In other words, no matter whether you are a man or a woman, as long as you have real talent and knowledge, you can serve as an official in the court!
"In fact, the issue of women serving as officials is still quite controversial in the court. However, the emperor is very supportive, so this matter has been settled. Because you have shown us that although women look weak, they can also have the ambition to build a country and are as strong as men! Women like you should not be buried in the inner chambers. They should also have a place to display their talents."
Ji Chuhe smiled.
This smile comes from the joy in the heart.
The Rongguo Mansion never differentiates between the education of its children, which is why it raised a woman like the Queen Mother.
My mother also met a man like my father, who knew how to respect women and recognized the excellence of women from the bottom of his heart.
