"As Princess Pingning said, Your Majesty is only in his early twenties and is in the prime of his youth. There will definitely be no accidents. I believe that Your Majesty will bring great blessings to the heavens and protect our Dahe Empire forever."
Ji Rongheng's heart was extremely heavy, and he gritted his teeth and replied: "Besides, King Qinghe is your Majesty's brother, and I firmly believe that he will not commit any treason."
"He will not?"
Lin Jinsheng sneered and sighed: "I am still here, and he dares to lead troops into Beijing without authorization. Is there anything else that he dare not do?"
Fortunately, there were no outsiders in the palace, so he could vent his dissatisfaction unscrupulously.
After coughing for a while, he glanced at Ji Rongheng fiercely and asked again: "Ji Aiqing, once you leave, I don't know when I will see you again. You are a minister of my dynasty, and even more so.
Brother, I hope you can open your heart and talk to me today."
Ji Rongheng had no choice but to clasp his fists and answer: "If that day comes, without His Majesty's edict, I will defend Langzhou to the death and not let King Qinghe set foot in Langzhou."
Listening to his vowed words, Lin Jinsheng nodded with satisfaction, then looked at Chu Nanzhi, coughing lightly and said: "What if King Pingning goes north?"
"I will do my best to defend Langzhou and completely block King Pingning from the Donghua River."
Ji Rongheng still replied firmly with the same tone.
These words directly made Yin Enci and Lin Jinsheng's expressions darken.
Chu Nanzhi just smiled awkwardly.
Lin Jinsheng covered his mouth and wiped the corners of his mouth, dumbfounded. He looked at Chu Nanzhi meaningfully and didn't know what to say for a moment.
In his current situation, he has no heirs, and the candidate for the new king has long been interested in Lin Jinxiao. Unfortunately, he had some luck in the early years, so he did not discuss with the Empress Dowager about welcoming Lin Jinxiao back to the capital.
At present, the power is falling apart, and he can only rely on the imperial grandmother and Princess Shu to mediate among the various forces and intimidate the courtiers. King Qinghe is afraid that the two of them will not dare to act rashly. Once he reveals Lin Jinxiao's identity to the world and establishes him as the crown prince.
, Qinghe’s powerful people will definitely take action.
He was really in a dilemma. He looked at Ji Rongheng with a smile, nodded helplessly and said: "General Rong Heng is really loyal and courageous. I am very relieved."
Unexpectedly, as soon as he finished speaking, Ji Rongheng knelt down, looked at Lin Jinsheng solemnly, and begged loudly: "I have the courage to impeach King Pingning today. This man is arrogant and domineering, abusing his private power, disrespecting the imperial concubine and the princess, and blaspheming."
With the dignity of the royal family, I beg your majesty to punish King Pingning."
Seeing that he was still stubborn, Yin Enci glared dissatisfied and slapped the coffee table aside angrily.
Lin Jinsheng sighed sadly, and had no choice but to express the unspeakable thoughts in his heart: "That Yue family has no virtue. When he was in the palace, he carried out debauchery with King Dongjin behind my back. By returning to Luyan Port to visit relatives,
For the sake of reputation, I even had a private meeting with the King of Nandu in the post house, which actually made the Baiyu envoy aware of it, and insulted the dignity of the Tian family. For this reason, I specially sent Lieutenant Yin to handle the matter personally."
After a pause, his eyes were full of anger, and he said bitterly: "Will General Rong Heng still want to hold Prince Pingning accountable?"
"this"
Ji Rongheng was stunned with a stiff expression, suddenly feeling that he was being plotted.
Ji Cen'an, the younger brother of the clan, is the consort of Princess Shu, and Ji Huaishu is the nephew of his ancestor. Even if the matter of Concubine Yue is a shady thing, he should know the details in Luyan Port. Why didn't he tell the truth to him?
Ming, which caused him to be demoted from Beijing.
Yin Enci also had a sullen face and scolded in a cold voice: "The Ai family doesn't want to mention the matter of Wanying again. If Rong Heng is really interested, go and question your aunt who is the eldest princess. After all, Wanying is your
The life and death of the Ji family's bloodline should be decided by you, the leader of the Ji family."
Ji Rongheng immediately realized that this matter was not that simple either.
Thinking back carefully, that girl Wanying was staying well in Luyan Port and was suddenly brought back to Jingling City. There may be something fishy in this.
Previously, I only thought that Princess Yan Jun wanted her daughter so much that she asked Yin Taiwei to take her back to the capital, but when I thought about it carefully, that was not the case.
This girl is thinking about her so-called cousin. Now that she is with him, how can she come back so easily?
But the ancestor didn't want to say more, and he couldn't ask any more questions. He knew that he had caused the trouble and had to bear the consequences. He kowtowed heavily to the emperor and the empress dowager angrily, and said in a deep tone: "Chen Shen
With the emperor's favor, I only wish to stay in Langzhou forever, and guard the southern border for Your Majesty and the imperial court, and prevent bandits from crossing the Leichi."
After saying that, he stood up slowly, looked at Chu Nanzhi with his eyes flickering, then turned around and left resolutely.
Although he was nostalgic for the prosperity of Kyoto and did not want to let go of his old days, when he thought about being able to leave this non-whirlpool place soon, he suddenly felt extremely relieved in his heart, and walked away with his head held high and his eyebrows relaxed.
Watching Ji Rongheng walk out of Rongde Palace and disappear completely, Lin Jinsheng narrowed his eyes, looked at the people around him again, and said calmly: "Royal Grandmother, I have a few words to say to Princess Pingning alone. Please move to the Royal Grandmother as soon as possible."
Drive back to the palace, wait for your grandson to finish talking to her siblings, and then send someone to escort her to Zhaochun Palace in person."
Yin Enci likes this grandson's wife from the bottom of his heart. He just met her today and has a lot to say to her. He wants to know more about his grandson's trivial life in Luyan Port these years.
But the emperor asked him to stay, and she couldn't refute it, so she led Lin Jinshu out of Rongde Palace first.
After the palace was cleared, Lin Jinsheng ordered the queen to repel the personal attendants, and then he expressed his concerns: "How could my younger siblings and Jin Xiao think about letting Rong Heng go to garrison Langzhou?"
With a wry smile on his face, he continued: "You also saw today that his stubborn temper will become an obstacle to Jin Xiao's journey north in the future."
Chu Nanzhi felt a flash of surprise in her heart. How could the emperor know that he had done this on purpose?
Moreover, she had no idea what Lin Jinxiao meant about this matter, and she never got angry with him.
But after the emperor's reminder, she thought about what happened before and after, and she really felt that it was the pretty boy who instigated Ji Cen'an to trick his brother on purpose.
In front of the emperor, she did not dare to show off her cleverness. She pretended to be stupid and said: "Your Majesty, my sister and I absolutely do not dare to plot against General Rong Heng, my sister."
Before she could finish her words, Lin Jinsheng blocked her back: "You still don't dare. Although it's the first time I've met you today, I've also heard about my brothers and sisters. When you were just a woman in the village, you dared to do this.
The people petitioned and competed with the three eldest princesses of Nanhua Temple. This guy Jin Xiao is even more daring. Since he used the Emperor's Sword given by my emperor to kill first and then show off, he committed a serious crime against the ten tribes of Yi without permission."
"My sister is frightened and asks Your Majesty to punish her."
Chu Nanzhi was so frightened by his accusation that she knelt down in a hurry.
"Get flat."
There was no anger on Lin Jinsheng's face, but he laughed loudly: "You are not at fault, and Jin Xiao's matter was handled very properly. Our Dahe Empire has been in power for hundreds of years and has always governed the world with benevolence and righteousness, but now
In the declining world, someone dares to assassinate our specially sent imperial envoy, especially in a place surrounded by enemies. We need to be stricter, otherwise it will not be enough to shock people's hearts."
Signing for her to sit down again, Lin Jinsheng sighed with some worry: "Letting General Rong Heng go to Langzhou is indeed the best choice at the moment. The general and Yang Situ are afraid of Jinxiao and have always wanted to place their confidants to garrison the Langzhou Fortress.
This will stop their thoughts, and it will cause suffering for you and your wife."
Chu Nanzhi was also worried that if something unexpected happened to the emperor in the future, Lin Jinxiao's entry into Jinling City would be hindered. However, compared to Tang Yao and Yang Runchen's people stationed in Langzhou, she preferred Ji Rongheng to stay here.
This way at least there is room for change.
After all, there are always ways to deal with people like Ji Rongheng.
