Lin Jinshu secretly clenched his fists: "Who can say otherwise? The courtiers have been discussing these days that it must be Tang Ru who took advantage of his elder brother's leg illness and wanted to have arbitrary power. The officials below also had no choice.
Only then did he dare to leapfrog his rank and report, and his brother and I were implicated and impeached."
After a pause, a sullen look appeared on her face, and she rebuked dissatisfiedly: "That Princess Qian is so domineering that she didn't even care about the lives of the soldiers. She also claimed that Tang Ru's defeat was just a loss of some soldiers. She is so arrogant.
The lives of the Tang family are precious, and now everyone in the court is full of complaints against the couple."
"This couldn't be better."
Listening to Lin Jinshu's indignant accusation, Chu Nanzhi couldn't help but feel complacent, and couldn't help but speak out what was in his heart.
"Ah, Nan Zhi, what did you say?"
Lin Jinshu looked at her in surprise.
"I, I said that in this way, your brother can be in charge of things more conveniently in Pingning Prefecture."
In front of this sister-in-law, Chu Nanzhi deliberately made Pingningzhou's situation very unbearable:
"Princess, you don't know how difficult your brother's life is in Pingning Prefecture. This Tang Ru relies on the power of the Tang family to make trouble with your brother. Let's just say that this rebellion is just a case of ringworm. This big
The governor insisted on using his power to suppress others and let his Tang army go on an expedition without authorization. As a result, he lost troops and generals, and the people were filled with resentment. Princess Qian threatened death at every turn. You said that your brother is really alone and unable to support himself."
"This Tang family is indeed hateful. I cannot forgive him and his wife this time."
Lin Jinshu squeezed his fist hard and comforted him with words: "Nan Zhi, you don't have to worry. Even the Queen Mother and Tang Yao can't intercede for him and his wife this time."
"Um."
Chu Nanzhi nodded pretending to be aggrieved.
The little treasures saw that their mother was deceiving their aunt, and Sanbao Lin Ruichong also followed suit and pretended to be pitiful: "Aunt, now my father has lost his legs and feet, and the governor of the Tang Dynasty has lost many soldiers. If those rioters
If we invade the state capital, who can rescue my father?"
Lin Jinshu had been worried about her brother's old illness. When Sanbao mentioned this, she asked with concern: "Brother Wang, are your legs and feet feeling better?"
"It's always good and bad."
At the moment, Chu Nanzhi could not tell Lin Jinshu about the matter, so she had to make a perfunctory statement.
"It's really hard for my brother."
Lin Jinshu frowned and looked at Chen Chuan outside the carriage, and sighed weakly: "Now that my brother has transferred Colonel Chen to the capital, the available people around him will probably be even smaller."
"Who says it isn't?"
Chu Nanzhi then sighed: "I originally wanted to keep Captain Chen with him, but unfortunately he was worried about me and the little treasures. The two elders came to Beijing with them again this time. If Captain Chen is not brought here,
, he must be worried."
"It seems that the court must make up its mind this time."
Lin Jinshu's eyes became firmer: "The officialdom in Jiangnan has been corrupted for a long time, and the imperial court has long wanted to clean up. This time, we cannot let my brother face all the powerful forces alone, otherwise the wealthy gentry and corrupt officials will continue to work for me. I'm afraid
It’s because half of our Dahe Empire is at risk.”
After pausing for a few seconds, she said in a gentle voice: "After Cen An and I get married next month, I will discuss it with my father-in-law, and he and the courtiers will submit a report and ask himself to be the inspector of the states in the south of the Yangtze River to help my brother clean up the country.
Jiangnan officialdom.”
"This couldn't be better."
Chu Nanzhi was secretly happy.
Ji Cen'an's father, Ji Huaishu, was the nephew of the Empress Dowager. He was highly regarded by the Emperor and the Empress Dowager. Although he was now just the Shangshu Ling at the Shangshu Desk, he was an errand with a light and powerful position. He could control almost all officials. He Going to Jiangnan to take the lead in purging the officialdom, the plan for mutual promotion of officials that he and Lin Jinxiao had drawn up before could be implemented more easily.
When we arrived at Baima Inn, the largest inn in Beijing, the sky was gradually getting dark.
As night falls and the lanterns are first turned on, the post house is bustling with traffic, people, and extremely lively.
It is said that the prosperity of Luyan Port is not much different from that of Jinling City, but after all, this place is an important place in Gyeonggi Province, rich in resources, and prosperous. It is really incomparable to the soft and beautiful Jiangnan towns like Luyan Port. and.
Even the city gates should look majestic, towering and solid.
A group of people entered the post house. The most luxurious single-family courtyard in the east side of the post house had been kept very clean by Yi Cheng to receive the most distinguished guests from Pingning Prefecture.
Chang Lao and Nie Lao led Shen Yunqing and the school captain Chen Chuan to be placed in the outer courtyard, while Chu Nanzhi, mother and son, and Liu Yun lived separately in the inner courtyard.
After everyone claimed their respective houses, Yi Cheng asked people to prepare a sumptuous dinner for everyone.
Although everything was prepared according to the standards of a royal banquet in the palace, the two elders had traveled a long distance and really couldn't work up their appetite, so they managed to deal with a few mouthfuls and then returned to the guest house.
Seeing that the little treasures were all listless, Chu Nanzhi had no choice but to ask Yi Cheng to prepare some ingredients, cook some appetizing dishes in the kitchen of the small courtyard, and invite the two elders to come and eat.
Looking at the unique dishes on the table, Mr. Chang and Mr. Nie had some appetite, ate some with relish, and began to take the initiative to ask Yi Cheng to bring two pots of shochu.
After drinking and eating, the two elders were in high spirits, and Chang Lao asked urgently about the situation in Beijing.
Lin Jinshu was still thinking about the dishes cooked by his brother and sister-in-law. When he heard his husband's inquiry, he quickly replied: "Now the 30,000 cavalry brought by King Qinghe are stationed in the camp thirty miles west of the city. The general is here." In the past few days, we have continuously united with the courtiers, and on the grounds that the unstable situation in Pingning Prefecture will endanger the capital, we have successively placed trusted generals in the nine gates of Gyeonggi and even the battalions near Jinling City to take charge of the army."
"Pingning Prefecture is just a plague of ringworm. Your senior brother will be able to quell the rebellion. Besides, there are 100,000 cavalry stationed in Lang Prefecture. The situation in Changning County will endanger the capital."
Chang Yanjue curled his lips in dissatisfaction: "On the contrary, King Qinghe and Tang Yao may have ulterior motives."
"Teacher, don't worry, even if the general and King Qinghe have two minds, they still can't succeed for the time being. The Suwei army in the nine gates of the capital is now led by the cavalry general Ji Rongheng. More than half of the 200,000 troops stationed in the three major camps in the capital Although the soldiers were all the confidants of the student in his early battles, as long as the student was in the capital, King Qinghe did not dare to act rashly."
Lin Jinshu's confident attitude made Chu Nanzhi feel relieved, but Chang Lao had always been cautious and couldn't help but said anxiously: "This clan brother Cen An has been in charge of the Su Wei Army for many years. Although he has never made any mistakes, he is not easy to get close to." Now that your brother and sister-in-law have come to Beijing, I am afraid that he will be deceived and embarrass your brother and sister-in-law."
"Brother Rong Heng has always had this temperament, and he doesn't deal with things or people, but his position is clear in his heart. He is only loyal to His Majesty and to the Empire."
Although Lin Jinshu didn't really like Ji Rongheng's temperament from the bottom of his heart, he respected him very much as a person, otherwise the imperial court would not have let him take charge of the capital guard.
