At this juncture, what happened in Luyan Port was not only a challenge to Lin Jinxiao's royal power, but also a blasphemy to the majesty of the imperial court. It was understandable that Lin Jinxiao wanted to kill someone to scare others, but the price was too high.
Nie Huai'an frowned and persuaded patiently: "Da Lang, you are now a prince, and you should make your own decisions in everything. Even if you really execute the old disciples of the Qi family this time, you have to go before His Majesty for the sake of heaven."
He will naturally accept your suggestion if you have a good reputation, just to avoid being criticized verbally and in writing by those civil servants."
"The students are well aware of the concerns of the two elders, but the elders always teach the students that a real man should do something and not do something. Whether he is a king or a minister, he cannot obey everyone's heart. In everything, he should put the overall situation first and not
You should care about personal gains and losses, let alone those slanderous words with ulterior motives."
Lin Jinxiao said with a calm face: "Although I am not always aboveboard in my actions, I have no regrets in my heart. I serve the court and the people. Not to mention being cautious about my career, I can still be considered as fulfilling my duties. I am not afraid of the criticism of civil servants, and I am responsible for my merits and demerits."
It will be up to future generations to comment."
These words completely convinced Nie Huai'an.
In just a few months since he took office, what he has accomplished is probably beyond the reach of ordinary people in a lifetime. Not to mention anything else, just the land equalization policy has enabled countless poor people to have arable land to cultivate, and they are no longer subject to the tyranny of the wealthy gentry.
Exploitation and exploitation by big players.
During this drought, he actively raised relief materials and suppressed the gentry to reduce or reduce land rents, which made countless people applaud him. No one starved to death in this drought. His achievements and prestige were not inferior to Lin Tingshu's.
Although he was hated by the wealthy gentry, he won the hearts of the people, which is commendable.
Thinking about today's events again, if those minions of the Qi family hadn't acted poorly and made superfluous actions, how could that girl Nan Zhi have found out the assassin of the assassination envoy so easily? I'm afraid she would only be implicated and punished in the end.
It will be the couple.
Even if he has some selfish motives, it is understandable that he wants to protect his wife.
A true man stands between heaven and earth. If he cannot protect his wife and children, how can he have the dignity to talk about the affairs of the world?
Staring at Chang Yanjue with a solemn expression, Nie Huaian persuaded with a smile:
"Old Chang, these unscrupulous people are openly provoking Wang Wei and provoking the court's laws. It is not a pity to die. Since Da Lang has given the order, let's stop nagging about this matter. Anyway, even if Da Lang does not blame them seriously for what happened today,
Those officials can also make up a lot of reasons to join him in front of His Majesty. After all, this matter is related to the face of the Heavenly Family. If it is not handled strictly, it will be difficult to make the people of the world surrender."
After a moment of silence, he sighed deeply and said: "I agree with Dalang's approach in this matter. If someone comes out from time to time to do such a treasonous thing in the future, where will the dignity of the court be? How will the court govern the whole country?"
Chang Yanjue nodded with deep approval: "What Mr. Nie said makes sense."
Then he faced Lin Jinxiao again and said seriously: "Xiao'er, I don't have to talk to you about this matter for the time being, but today Nan Zhi led Prince Xie into the house, and your arrogant and cunning attitude is really unworthy of hospitality. Now we are both
The national army and Chen Bing are at war with each other on the border. Prince Xie, as the crown prince of a country, has personally gone to danger to come to our court to seek peace. Instead of treating him with courtesy, you have followed your two imperial uncles to make things difficult and ridicule others. What are your intentions?"
Staring at him dissatisfied, Chang Yanjue pursed her lips: "Even this girl Nan Zhi understands that visitors are guests, but you are so short-sighted, do you really want to watch the war between the two countries resume?
Now the Dongsang people are ready to make a move, and the situation in the north is also quite unstable. You keep saying high-sounding that you put the overall situation first and seek benefits for the people of the world. Is this your ambition and magnanimity?"
Lin Jinxiao didn't expect Chang Lao to scold him for this matter.
The reason why he was slow to treat Xie Jingchen was indeed because he did not want to seek peace with the Baiyu people. After all, with the current internal and external troubles, as the master of Pingning Prefecture, he did not have the mental capacity to face attacks from several enemies at the same time.
That guy was always looking at his wife with a sly look, and they had a close personal relationship, so he couldn't hold back his anger.
Chang Yanjue had already seen his little thoughts, and scolded with a cold face: "Don't think that I don't know the little ninety-nine things in your heart. Prince Xie just came to our court and helped Nan Zhi girl solve the problem. She
There is nothing wrong with being grateful in your heart. Why are you so petty? She has been married to you and raised children for you for all these years. Why are you still worried? Is it possible that she will leave these brothers and sisters to thank you?
The prince went to Stone Tart City?"
"cough."
Hearing this, Nie Huaian couldn't help but cough slightly, wanting to remind Chang Lao.
That stinky girl was indeed on the verge of abandoning her husband and son, so it was understandable that Jin Xiao had such concerns.
But now this child's temperament has changed drastically. He can see that Chu Nanzhi is determined to follow Lin Jinxiao.
Moreover, she also knew Lin Jinxiao's life experience. Sooner or later, his mother would honor the world, and there was no point in going to a smoky land to suffer for the sake of Prince Xie.
After all, he and Chang Lao were the ones chosen and entrusted with important tasks, so they couldn't allow the couple to have conflicts again.
After taking Chang Yanjue's words, Nie Huaian also taught with sincerity and sincerity:
"Da Lang, don't blame Wei Shi for nagging you Mr. Chang. This girl Nan Zhi always thinks about you. Even this time she is worried about making up for your marriage and doesn't want you to overwork yourself. If you don't do anything big, you
What's there to be dissatisfied about? Since you asked to arrange this marriage for her, you didn't give her anything, and you still want to chill her heart and make others laugh. What's your intention?"
Hearing this, Lin Jinxiao felt a little uncomfortable.
Chang Lao's words made him even more miserable.
It was the first time that Xie Jingchen and Chu Nanzhi met each other. He knew a lot about what happened between them at Nanhua Temple and Duanlong Mountain, but it was hard to mention it to the two elders.
But Mr. Nie's words made him feel guilty and uneasy.
Others didn't know it clearly, but he knew it very well in his heart. Today was the real day to marry Chu Nanzhi, but she suffered a lot of injustice and felt really regretful about it.
Nie Huaian saw the slight change in his face and guessed that he had been convinced by him. He quickly smiled and urged: "Go and apologize to Nan Zhi and coax her. There is no overnight hatred between husband and wife, so it is nothing wrong.
When it comes to forgiveness, Nan Zhi has always had her own opinion, and she is not an unreasonable person, so she would not do anything to embarrass you."
"Students know."
Lin Jinxiao replied obediently, thinking that it was getting late and fearing that the two elders would rush around, he immediately signaled: "The student asked the servants to clean up the room for the teacher and the master's wife, and then go back to the room after serving the second elder and the master's wife."
"Don't worry about our affairs. Your two mistresses will handle this marriage for you, so we won't be left on the street in the middle of the night."
Chang Yanjue waved his hand impatiently and urged: "Go back to your room quickly, and also ask Nan Zhi if you have found any clues about the person behind the assassination. We still need to solve the case early."
That’s good.”
"The student noted it down."
Lin Jinxiao did not dare to linger in the study anymore, so he picked up his crutch and walked directly towards the bedroom in the main courtyard.
