Lin Jinxiao felt that he was not thinking carefully, so he changed his mind and said: "Then stay with me and be a Jue Cao Shi, specializing in prisons."
In the past, Wu Enrong from Pingning County wanted to win her over to be the county's chief judge.
Now, letting her stay in the state capital to be his deputy just caters to her preferences, so she will never refuse again.
Chu Nanzhi knew that he and Xiaobao were worried that they were working too hard, but this was definitely not the time to sit back and relax.
She looked deeply at Lin Jinxiao and said earnestly: "Lin Dalang, you are now the governor of a party and control hundreds of counties. It is not difficult to reward me with an official position. Even I can feel at ease."
You are raising your husband and children at home, but have you ever thought about longer-term things?"
"Something longer term?"
Lin Jinxiao looked puzzled: "The imperial court appointed me as the governor of Pingning Prefecture and restored me to the king's title. It just hopes that I can control the forces in the east, resist the invasion of the Dongsang people to the east, and defend the Baiyu people to the south.
Although you are my wife, Lin Jinxiao, promoting you to an official position will not cause any criticism, after all, your abilities are obvious to all."
"I didn't worry about that."
Chu Nanzhi hinted cryptically: "You have plans for both the east and the south. Have you never thought about the north?"
"To the north?"
Xiangbei is Kyoto. Could it be that my wife wants to rebel on her own?
Lin Jinxiao fell into doubt.
Chu Nanzhi gave more clear instructions: "If it is just to resist the enemy invaders, the imperial court can promote you to be a governor. This will not cause too much controversy, but why do your majesty and the empress dowager have to work hard this time?"
How about reinstating the title of King Pingning against all opinions?"
"Could it be?"
In front of the children, he did not express his suspicions.
The two nodded understandingly.
But Lin Jinxiao always felt that it was impossible.
At present, the party struggle in Jingling City is in full swing. If His Majesty is worried that there will be a palace coup in the future, then entering the capital should be a privilege enjoyed only by the Qinghe royal family. Why would you consider an unpopular clan like Luyangang?
"No matter what the situation is in the future, you have to make more preparations."
Chu Nanzhi said bluntly: "If you lose your position in the future, you, the Lin family in Luyan Gang, will probably face another edict to reduce the vassal status."
And she thinks the consequences may be more serious.
Lin Jinxiao has been framed several times, which shows that his identity has long been discovered, otherwise even the people of Baiyu would not have become interested in the matter of the late prince's unborn son.
But after all, she couldn't agree with Lin Jinxiao about this matter, so she had to say instead:
"Lin Dalang, you need to try to figure out the deep intentions of the Empress Dowager. The Pingning Prefecture you took over is actually a mess now, with internal and external troubles. If you want to accumulate strength through excessive expropriation, it will inevitably lead to resentment and instability of the people. At the moment, I
All I can do is earn more money, maybe it will come in handy in the future."
Lin Jinxiao felt enlightened after listening to it.
I heard Chang Lao and Princess She mention it before that the Empress Dowager and Her Majesty are not satisfied with the current Qinghe royal family, and most of the current Qinghe dignitaries are dependent on the kings in Beijing. If there is a critical moment, their position will be
I'm afraid I'm not on the side of His Majesty and the Queen Mother.
Presumably this was the important reason why the Empress Dowager promoted the lineage of King Pingning of Luyan Port.
Recalling that since the rebellion of the Dahe Empire, King Qin has made several eastward marches, and the royal family relied on the wealthy nobles of Qinghe.
But he didn't have any strength to rely on.
But he will never rely on marriage to strengthen himself.
Nowadays, the descendants, the powerful and the powerful are in chaos in the government, and the party struggles are in full swing. This is all caused by the royal family's blind reliance on the powerful and powerful Qinghe.
Although he was worried about his family and country before, he never dared to think about making big achievements, but now after being reminded by Chu Nanzhi, he suddenly gained some new insights.
Only by making yourself strong enough can you better protect this family.
Looking at Chu Nanzhi with a smile, Lin Jinxiao couldn't help but sigh deeply: "My lady is still foresighted."
"I can also give you some advice."
Speaking of this, Chu Nanzhi suddenly felt a little lonely.
Lin Jinxiao promised not to take concubines, which was undoubtedly very touching for her.
Just thinking about what he might face in the future makes me feel a little ashamed.
After all, the Liu and Chu families were from the village. If he couldn't get a concubine for him like the Qinghe royal family and get the support of a wealthy family, then he would be weak after all.
When the last resort comes, you need connections but no connections, and you need money and food but no money and food. This is really a frustrating thing.
Gradually, the long-burned dream of being the richest man in her heart started to burn again.
If you don’t have a family background, then create a prominent family background yourself.
…
In the carriage at the back, Tang Yuanxi always looked glum.
Tang Ru saw the strange look on her face, so he simply followed Lin Jinxiao's example and abandoned his horse and got into his sister's carriage.
Looking at the two unhappy princesses, Tang Ru asked pointedly: "Why, could it be that the two princesses were bullied in Haining County?"
"Brother Tang is joking."
Ji Wanying said calmly: "Who dares to bully sister Yuan Xi?"
"That's true."
Tang Ru smiled slowly.
She has always been the only one who bullies others.
"Brother, I'm just being bullied. You have to make the decision for your sister."
Tang Yuanxi threw herself into Tang Ru's arms and started to complain coquettishly.
Ji Wanying and Tang Ru both looked bitter when they heard this.
Although Tang Ru and Tang Yuanxi are siblings, their status in the family is far inferior to hers.
She was born to her deceased mother, and Tang Yuanxi was the only daughter of her stepmother and father. Even the Queen Mother doted on her, so how could she dare to let her be wronged? She quickly asked: "Yuanxi, tell me quickly, who bullied you?
I will cut him into pieces."
Ji Wanying broke into a sweat as she listened, and said in a cold voice: "It's none other than the new master of Pingning Prefecture whom the Tang family brother just knelt down to worship."
"King Pingning?"
Tang Ru was frightened for a moment, and smiled stiffly: "Impossible, how could His Highness bully Yuan Xi? Isn't Princess Wanying joking with me?"
Even though Lin Jinxiao was appreciated by the Empress Dowager and Her Majesty, he was a prince from an unpopular clan and a foreign vassal, so he was not so unscrupulous that he even dared to disrespect the apple of the General Protector's Palace.
Regardless of the fact that the Queen Mother dotes on her younger sister.
Ji Wanying smiled sadly: "It depends on how Brother Tang understands the word bullying?"
Tang Ru's eyebrows twinkled deeply, and he speculated carefully in his mind. Suddenly he realized what he was doing and said in shock: "Sister, you don't like His Highness, do you?"
After being exposed, Tang Yuanxi punched him on the knee with a small fist: "I don't care, since brother knows, you have to help me fulfill this wish. I will never marry anyone other than your highness."
"ah?"
Tang Ru was shocked when he heard this, and said with an embarrassed look on his face: "That's not true, little sister, you and His Highness have only met a few times, and how can you be so deeply in love with each other? There are so many princes in Beijing, you can compare to any one of them if you pick one.
He is powerful.
Besides, you have also seen that Your Highness has a princess and so many children, and I see that His Highness has a deep affection for the princess, aren't you asking for trouble by doing this?"
"Hmph, I don't care, I don't care, if I can't marry into Prince Pingning's palace, I will die in peace."
Tang Yuanxi was so anxious that she cried loudly.
The alarmist words made the two people next to him look bitter.
Tang Ru looked at Ji Wanying, who looked calm, and smiled coyly: "Don't cry. If you really have this intention, my brother will find a way for you."
"real?"
Tang Yuanxi immediately raised her head when she heard the sound, staring at him with blurred eyes.
Tang Ru pursed his lips and nodded heavily: "But you have to tell your brother how firm your determination is."
After all, his father, stepmother and even the Queen Mother would never allow his little sister to have such an idea. Lin Jinxiao was a member of the Queen Mother and His Majesty, so he was the mortal enemy of the Tang family.
Unless the little sister's beliefs are so firm that they have to compromise.
Tang Yuanxi blinked with determination: "I am determined enough to give up everything for him, even myself."
Ji Wanying felt a chill in her heart as she listened.
Tang Ru couldn't help but show a hint of sly joy: "Okay, brother will definitely help you realize your wish."
If she can really be stuffed into Prince Pingning's palace, then she will be even more aware of Lin Jinxiao's every move in the future.
