Nianci is like Jiang Xian's son and nephew, but if he gets engaged, Jiang Xian will definitely not be able to attend - because she is Da Niu'er's aunt, Yili, and she has to accompany Da Niu'er at home, waiting for the Cao family to come to the door to put hairpin for Da Niu'er.

Bai Su knew that she was making fun of her, and couldn't help but smile and said, "You can't just worry. When we go to put hairpins for the big girl, will I see if you are here?"

"You know how to bully me now!" Jiang Xian said a joke to Bai Su with a bitter face.

The two of them joked for a long time before Jiang Xian asked Bai Su: "Did you make a small decision so early? Have you decided on the specific date?"

"Both families are willing, and the two children are also aware of their true feelings. It's better to settle it early. In the future, you can often pick up the big girl and stay at home for a few days." Bai Su smiled, "It's still a girl who is caring. Like our family, I know how to climb trees and houses all day long. How can I stay with me? I think if you have the chance, it's better to have another girl!"

"Do you think I don't want it!" Jiang Xian pouted and said helplessly, "It's just not. What can I do?"

The two whispered for a long time, talking about which famous doctor to look for, what secret recipes are there, and which temple is the most effective in seeking a child.

Jiang Xian seemed to push open a door.

She opened her eyes wide and asked Bai Su: "What are you concerned about?"

"Don't I hear those people gossiping all the time?" Bai Su smiled, "Who told you to stay at home and not go out?"

Without Li Qian, she really didn't have the interest to go out.

"When it's the ninth day of the ninth month, we'll go hiking together." Jiang Xian said lazily, holding his cheeks as white as snow, his face as white as his hands, which was very attractive. "Li Qian should have been idle at that time."

Not only was he idle, Bai Su said in his heart that he would be at home often in the future.

"What are the plans for the prince?" she asked Jiang Xian, "I don't have to patrol like this, right?"

"Yeah!" Jiang Xian nodded and said with some emotion, "It's been thirteen years, and I finally calmed down."

But there is no real time for things in this world to stop.

After hearing Zhao Xi's words, Zhao Xiao returned to the mansion to think about it.

Even if Li Qian promised to let the court send people to guard the border, it would probably be a delay. Whoever said what happened two years later would be accurate? Even if it was not a delay, no matter who went there to serve, it would be undermined. He would even be reluctant to go to the Nine Borders because the court was alone, fearing that something would happen. Zhao Xi's unconcealed suspicion would definitely lay a thorn in Li Qian's heart.

Can he use this thorn?

Zhao Xi recruited a staff member to discuss the matter.

Everyone thinks that if that time comes, it is possible to recommend the people from the Jinghai Marquis’ Mansion to guard Jiubian, but the premise is that Zhao Xi can agree.

Some of the staff members said shamelessly: "The Emperor will definitely agree. If he doesn't rely on our Marquis, who else can he rely on? It's only a matter of time before Mr. Wang retires. Zuo Yiming has always been gentle, and Li Yao has made up his mind to leave. Who else can have the qualifications of our Marquis in the court? If it weren't for the difference between civil and military affairs, we Marquis can be a governor!"

Zhao Xiao scolded the aide in his mouth, "Don't talk nonsense", but he did not take his disrespect to Zhao Xi seriously. Instead, he felt that the aide was reasonable. He could not stop Li Qian from being powerful now, but he could set some obstacles for Li Qian. Perhaps these obstacles were nothing to Li Qian, but they could give him some time.

He asked how the ships in the Jinghai Marquis Mansion were built?

Li Qian made extraordinary achievements and sang from all over the country. He also needed to win a great victory in front of the Japanese pirates in order to regain his reputation, make Zhao Xi believe him, and he was qualified to negotiate conditions with Zhao Xi.

The staff member knew Zhao Xiao’s heart well and replied, “You can take a 100,000 army.”

Zhao Xiao nodded with satisfaction.

The Jinghai Marquis Mansion had a total of 120,000 troops, but the imperial court was behind him, so he did not need to be wary of it. He could send 100,000 troops to suppress the enemy.

Zhao Xiao and his aides discussed until midnight. After the morning court the next day, he followed Zhao Xi to the imperial study room and told him about his intention to suppress the enemy.

Zhao Xi had just defeated the Tartars and was in a hurry. If he could take the opportunity to repel Japanese pirates, wouldn’t he become the emperor who was famous in history? Even his great-grandfather and great-great-grandfather never had such a record!

He was overjoyed and immediately made sure. However, when Zhao Xiao stood up and wanted to say goodbye, he tactfully talked about the matter of taking charge of power.

Zhao Xiao suddenly realized and hurriedly promised that he would not return to Fujian after Zhao Xi took power.

Zhao Xi had nothing to do now. After a few days of happiness, Wang Jidao had not yet written a letter to retire again. Zhao Xi was a little overwhelmed, so he simply took out the last time Wang Jidao resigned and passed it to the ministers to see. He expressed his reluctance with tears in his eyes and said to Wang Jidao: "You are not only the imperial tutor but also the head palace. After you go home, you must give back to your neighbors, educate your neighbors, and set an example for those small officials in various places."

What else did Wang Jidao want to say? Zuo Yiming has taken a few steps forward and joined forces with the Censorate and the Hanlin Academy to ask Zhao Xi to rule in person.

This is the first time that Zuo Yiming ignored Wang Jidao and wrote to Zhao Xi directly.

Then Zhao Xiao agreed and the ministers followed.

Wang Jidao suddenly felt exhausted, and his feet seemed to be filled with lead.

He knew that he had offended many people, but he didn't expect that there were so many.

Speaking of which, he has been devoted to the court in recent years. If it weren't for him, how could the court be so safe? Unfortunately, no one would be interested in listening to him again. Now Jiangnan has more officials and fewer positions, so if he can pull down one, he will be vacant.

Wang Ji's voices were quickly drowned in the false voices of everyone.

The next day, an eunuch led the imperial guards to "help" him clean up the things left in the duty room.

Zuo Yiming was appointed as the chief minister and the Grand Secretary of the Baohe Palace.

It was too late for Wang Jidao to say anything else, so he had to pack his luggage and go home.

But he was not very lucky. He met a thief on the way. Not to mention his body and head, the young and old in his family were almost killed, and the fine and soft things he had plundered for more than ten years were gone.

After getting the news, the whole of Jinling was in a bad state.

They wrote letters to suppress the thieves.

But Zhao Xiao has returned to Fujian. Ministers, look at me and look at you. No one dares to ask for his own troops to kill the thief.

Zuo Yiming secretly asked for help from Li Qian.

Li Qian mentioned Yang Jun.

Zuo Yiming recommended Yang Jun to Zhao Xi.

Zhao Xi's eyes lit up and he urgently summoned Yang Jun to come back.

Yang Jun led 5,000 troops to suppress bandits in the south of the Yangtze River.

By the autumn when Zhao Xiao returned to Jinling, Jinling had already promoted Yang Jun's military achievements everywhere, and praised Yang Jun like a magic weapon from the sky to save the people of Jiangnan from water and fire. Zuo Yiming, who recommended Yang Jun, was also called a person who knew people. Although Zhao Xiao killed many Japanese pirates at a great cost, it did not cause much response among the people of Jinling. After all, Japanese pirates were still a little far away from the people of Jinling, and the chief assistant like Wang Jidao returned home and was killed. Some people even speculated whether Zhao Xi had taken action. Such secrets could arouse the interest of the villagers and pay more attention.

Zhao Xiao was shocked and felt that he had made a mistake.
