Chapter 783 She's actually having a tough time too.
Ji Bingyan suddenly said, "Chief Jia, you have managed Youyun County very well. I have also heard that you have married the imperial concubine and princess of the Kushan Empire. All sorts of martial arts figures have come to your Youzhou Prefecture. I have also heard that you have formed some kind of organization and even declared that you want to take over the grasslands of the Kushan Empire. Chief Jia's ambition is indeed very far-reaching, but it is a bit too disrespectful to the imperial court."
As soon as she finished speaking, Ji Bingyan's relaxed mood became tense again.
Upon hearing this, Jia Daoshi simply smiled indifferently.
He truly doesn't take the imperial court seriously now.
However, seeing Ji Bingyan's pleading eyes beside him, Jia Daoshi ultimately decided to tell a white lie.
"There are too many hostile forces around Youzhou Prefecture. If I don't take some appropriate measures, it will be the people around me who get hurt. I can't just stand by and watch those forces come to our door without being able to fight back, can I?"
Jia Daoshi said with a sincere expression.
Upon hearing this, Ji Wuxin nodded in agreement: "There are indeed many problems in Youzhou County, but what I am curious about is how you managed to defeat the Kushan Empire's 500,000-strong allied army with such a small force in the Battle of Juebi City?"
"This... I used a secret weapon. Your Majesty, you know that I am a member of the Jinshi Sect, and I have some tricks up my sleeve."
Ji Wuxin's face revealed a meaningful expression: "The people of the Jinshi Sect, indeed, the methods of the Jinshi Sect have truly broadened my horizons."
Seeing this scene, Ji Bingyan couldn't help but feel nervous again.
Ji Wuxin's tone was somewhat unpredictable.
"Jia Daoshi, you are indeed quite good."
Ji Wuxin smiled faintly, then shook his head: "You did a good job with the Youzhou Prefecture matter, but let's not talk about these things for now."
As she spoke, Ji Wuxin looked at Jia Daoshi again: "You said in the main hall before that I used the eldest prince as bait. Did you say that? Are you saying that I am too selfish?"
"Mr. Lang..."
Ji Bingyan couldn't help but reach out and take Jia Daoshi's hand, then shook her head at him.
In the past, Jia Daoshi certainly wouldn't have made things difficult for Ji Bingyan.
But this is different.
Ji Wuxin had previously sent a high priest to say that he intended to pass the throne to Ji Bingyan.
Then, in a flash, he gave the throne to Wu Ce.
This is clearly a joke.
Moreover, this is extremely unfair to Wu Ce.
Now, Wu Ce is seriously injured and unconscious, leaving only the Eighth Prince and the Ninth Prince.
Of course, there was also the fifth prince who defected.
Given the current situation, it's unclear when the eldest prince will wake up, and Ji Wuxin's condition is also very abnormal.
Logically speaking, a master cannot suddenly grow old.
But now, this very thing has happened to Ji Wuxin.
This is something that Jia Daoshi was able to discover, and others were able to discover as well.
If Ji Wuxin still cannot decide on the position of crown prince at this time, the consequences will be enormous.
Today it's Wuquan opposing, tomorrow it might be Mingheying opposing.
Who will be next?
As an emperor, Ji Wuxin undoubtedly possessed abilities, but in this matter, he was far too indecisive!
Therefore, Jia Daoshi went straight to the point on this issue, leaving no room for negotiation.
“That’s right, that’s what I think. Even if Your Majesty thinks I’m wrong, I won’t change my mind.”
Jia Daoshi did not make any concessions when facing Ji Wuxin.
"Something terrible has happened..."
Ji Bingyan's face turned pale.
However, to Ji Bingyan's surprise, Ji Wuxin didn't seem to be angry.
Moreover, they remained silent, neither speaking nor questioning.
After a long while, Ji Wuxin sighed and said with some helplessness, "I admit that I do bear responsibility in this matter. In your opinion, Jia Tisi, who is most suitable to sit on the throne?"
Jia Daoshi replied calmly, "Of course it's Bingyan."
After speaking, Jia Daoshi looked at Ji Bingyan: "In terms of character, Bingyan is no worse than the First Prince. But in terms of ability, Bingyan has been with His Majesty for many years and is very familiar with the affairs of the court. Moreover, her personality is more suitable for this position than the First Prince's, that much is certain."
"His Majesty had previously sent a message through the High Priest that he intended to pass the throne to Bingyan, so it seems he was not without a decision in mind."
The eldest prince, Wu Ce, only knows how to lead troops into battle. He has absolutely no political acumen. For such a person to sit on the throne is more of a curse than a blessing.
Jia Daoshi, too lazy to waste words, directly stated his opinion.
This is a true master; he says whatever comes to mind.
All actions stem from one's own confidence.
Since he wanted his wife to be the emperor, he wouldn't beat around the bush.
Ji Bingyan was also shocked when she heard this.
She hadn't expected Jia Daoshi to be so direct.
Even Empress Ji Wuxin was quite surprised.
She thought Jia Daoshi might have some reservations, but to her surprise, Jia Daoshi was completely unreserved!
However, Ji Wuxin was at a loss for words for a moment!
Ji Bingyan also fell silent; she didn't actually want to be the empress.
"Your Majesty, since you are alright, I think we should put the matter of succession to the throne aside for now."
After a moment of silence, Ji Bingyan couldn't help but speak.
"Ice Swallow".
Ji Wuxin suddenly spoke up: "Actually, I originally intended to pass the throne to you. However, your father took great care of me during his lifetime, and I promised to pass the throne back to the Wu family."
"Therefore, this matter needs to be carefully considered."
Upon hearing this, Ji Bingyan's face showed a thoughtful expression.
She could understand what Ji Wuxin was saying.
This great realm, after all, belongs to the Wu family, so it's only natural that it should eventually return to them.
However, the princes' current situation could easily lead to great chaos and disorder.
After hearing Ji Wuxin's words, Jia Daoshi roughly understood what the other party was thinking. He originally wanted to say something, but when he saw the pleading look in Ji Bingyan's eyes, he finally said nothing, bowed to Ji Wuxin, and left with Ji Bingyan.
Ji Wuxin probably had her own plans, and Jia Daoshi couldn't say anything more about it.
However, he did hope that Ji Wuxin could sit on the throne forever, since he now had Youzhou Prefecture.
As long as Ji Wuxin continues to be the emperor, the Great Jing Dynasty can remain stable.
Otherwise, if the world descends into chaos, he will never have a peaceful life.
"My lord, please don't go against Her Majesty. She's actually having a tough time too." After leaving the palace, Ji Bingyan began to cling to Jia Daoshi's arm and pleaded softly.
Ji Bingyan also didn't want Jia Daoshi and Ji Wuxin's relationship to sour.
