This is the benefit of people in the court.

If Lin Zhao did not have such a prime minister, no matter how much contribution he made in Qingzhou at this time, he would probably have been a muddy person when he submitted a memorial to Chang'an. However, with Prime Minister Lin Jian in the court, every word he said in the memorial would be heard by the people of the court.

And it's the kind that you have to listen if you don't listen.

Faced with Lin Jian's full of gunpowder speech, Yang Qiong's face turned pale, but she didn't say anything.

Because he and Uncle Lin Jian have not yet reached the point where you or me are there, and he has just become prime minister for a few years, and his future political life is still very long, so he doesn't want to take this risk.

In the end, the emperor on the throne frowned slightly and said, "Okay, okay, this is a court meeting. If the two prime ministers have different opinions, they are all working for the court. There is no need to argue for the right or wrong."

Speaking of this, Li Xun looked at the third party in the Political Affairs Hall, namely Cao Song, the subordinate minister.

He asked slowly, "What do you think Cao Xiang thinks?"

Cao Song immediately stood up and bowed respectfully to the emperor: "Your Majesty, the old minister has contacted the governor Lin of Qingzhou. Although Lin is young, he has a calm personality. He should not dare to do such a deceiving thing to deceive the court. However, this report is indeed a bit unbelievable."

Well, this old guy has been talking for a long time, but there is not a single useful word.

The emperor turned dark and said in a deep voice: "I am asking Cao Xiang what his opinion is, not asking you about this matter."

Cao Song looked back at Lin Jian and Yang Qiong, then looked up carefully at the emperor and said, "Your Majesty, Lin Zhao said in the memorial that the court should convert Qingzhou united soldiers and the ten states united soldiers he will command in the future into government soldiers. I think... this matter is harmless to the court."

Having said this, Cao Song didn't continue.

This is when you have reached a certain level of officialdom. The old man seemed to have expressed his opinion, but he did not seem to have expressed his opinion. He seemed to have said everything, but after careful consideration, he seemed to leave room for himself for every sentence.

For example, his words "harmless".

This is the most correct thing. After all, the court is unable to take care of Qingzhou at all. No matter what reward the court gives Qingzhou, it will only be a name. Therefore, at present, it is absolutely impossible to cause any harm to the court.

Of course, the old man didn't say anything about the benefits.

The emperor nodded slightly and asked, "What Cao Xiang meant is to follow the Qingzhou report?"

Cao Song bowed his head again and said respectfully: "The decision of the world is all about the saint. The old minister can only give the saint some advice and dare not decide on the important matters of the military and national affairs."

Hearing this sentence, the ministers present cursed the old fox in their hearts.

Even the emperor frowned in his heart.

Until this time, few of the ministers in the court were willing to stand up and take responsibility, but instead put everything on the head of the emperor.

After lowering his head and thinking for a long time, His Majesty the Emperor waved his hand and his voice was low: "Today's discussion, let's get here."

"They are scattered for the time being."

Everyone in Tai Chi Palace stood up one after another and said goodbye to the emperor.

Li Xun glanced at Lin Jian who was standing up and ready to leave, and added: "Master Lin stays for a while."

Lin Jian bowed and did not leave with his colleagues.

After the ministers left almost, His Majesty the Emperor looked at the eunuch beside him and said slowly: "Go to the Prince Song's Mansion and invite the Emperor to discuss matters."

The little eunuch nodded quickly, took a small step, and hurriedly left the Tai Chi Palace and headed towards the Song Palace.

After the little eunuch left, Lin Jian, who was sitting in the lower head, looked up at the emperor and frowned, "Your Majesty wants His Highness to go to Qingzhou?"

The emperor nodded helplessly and sighed faintly.

"Others can't believe it."

He sighed: "At present, only Lao Ba went to Qingzhou in person can I confirm that Lin Zhao and Zhou De did not deceive me."

Speaking of this, the emperor paused and continued, "Besides, the limelight in Chang'an City is now tight. Many people have opinions about Lao Ba because of the fall of Henan Prefecture. It is also a good thing to ask him to go out to avoid the limelight."

After saying this, the emperor looked at Lin Jian and asked, "Master Lin, do you think the matter in Qingzhou is possible?"

"I... also feel a little bizarre."

Lin Jian said honestly: "But I believe that my nephew will never do such stupid things to deceive the king at this time."

"In my opinion, no matter what Sanlang does in Qingzhou or how he does, the situation will never be broken for Chang'an City. Therefore, there is no need for the court to stop Sanlang and cooperate..."

Lin Jian looked up at the emperor's expression and slowly lowered his head: "So cooperate."

"well."

The emperor sighed.

"The rebels are about to fight to the city of Chang'an. No matter what Lin Sanlang does in Qingzhou, it will be difficult to save Chang'an City. I just hope that he will tell the truth in the memorial, so that the court can have a combat power in the Hedong area and will be much easier to wipe out the rebels in the future."

Lin Jian's heart trembled slightly when he heard the emperor say this.

Because he had already heard from the emperor's tone that the emperor of the Great Zhou seemed... to have the idea of ​​giving up Chang'an City!

Lin Jian gritted his teeth and was about to speak when he heard the emperor on the throne and continued to speak slowly.

"If someone else was in Qingzhou and I handed me such a memorial to me, I would never believe it, but Lin Zhao is the nephew of Master Lin. I... for the sake of Master Lin."

Speaking of this, the emperor's voice was hoarse: "I will check what Qingzhou says one by one."

If the emperor wins people's hearts, there is still a lot of water.

The reason why he chose to believe Lin Zhao was not because of Lin Jian, nor because of Fatty Zhou who was sent to Qingzhou, nor because of his illness and seeking medical treatment.

But because among those who were walking with Zhou De... were people from Sigongtai.

As a private servant of Tianjia, Si Gongtai absolutely had no reason to betray the royal family. Therefore, when the emperor saw that the Si Gongtai people had jointly signed the memorial, he had already believed it in his heart.

And he was very sure that in the next two or three days, the people from the Qingzhou Sigongtai would send detailed secret memorials.

Lin Jian stood up from the chair, then knelt in front of the emperor, and bowed respectfully: "I... I am a member of Lin Zhao and the soldiers of Qingzhou, thank you for your trust."

The emperor quickly stood up, walked down the imperial stairs, and personally helped Lin Jian up, sighing while helping him: "Master Lin is so arrogant. We are masters and apprentices in private, so there is no need to be so stubborn."

While the two were talking, the little eunuch from the Sigongtai outside hurriedly ran in, came to the Tai Chi Palace, and knelt on the ground with a protruding body.

"Sage, Your Highness, the prince is here."

The emperor raised his hand: "Come in quickly."

Soon, the two little eunuchs invited Li Xu to the Tai Chi Palace.

As soon as he walked in, both the Emperor and Lin Jian frowned secretly.

I saw that at this time, His Royal Highness the prince had no longer had the style of the past, and almost all his energy disappeared. He looked haggard, and even his beard was not trimmed. He looked like a drunkard who could be seen everywhere on the streets of Chang'an in the past.

He walked into Tai Chi Palace, knelt on the ground with a "plop" sound, and kowtowed to the emperor.

"My...my brother, come to the saint."

After kowtowing to the emperor, he looked up at Lin Jian again, lowered his head again, and kowtowed to Lin Jian.

"Students greet their mentors."

This once energetic prince, his prince, was kneeling in front of his master like a pile of mud.

His eyes were red and his eyes were filled with tears.
