The news of Chu Nanzhi's entry into Langzhou soon spread to the palace.
Qinghe King Lin Jinke besieged Jinling City for more than a month. Not only did he fail to enter the city, but he was chased by Lin Jinshu to Wei'an County, an isolated city a hundred miles west of the capital. Because the troops guarding the north came back for reinforcements, the strength of the three battalions was obtained.
In addition, it will be difficult to move eastwards for a while.
Ji Cen'an led the main force of the three battalions to station in Wei'an County and formed a confrontation with the Qinghe Army.
On this day, Lin Jinshu hurried back to the city. When he saw Yin Enci at Zhaochun Palace, he angrily scolded: "Royal grandmother, Aunt Jing is really audacious. She dares to detain Wang's wife, please?"
It is up to the Imperial Grandmother to discuss with the Imperial Brother to interrogate Aunt Jing."
Yin Enci looked at Lin Yanjun and Lin Tingyan who were sitting in the hall. She had already learned about this from the regent, so she smiled lightly and did not answer.
Lin Yanjun helped explain, "I think Yan Jing is also worried that Princess Pingning is pregnant and wants to keep her in Langzhou to recuperate for a while, so as not to cause fetal contractions due to the fatigue of the journey."
"That's right."
Lin Tingyan also echoed: "Jin Shu, you have just come back from the front line. You should know the situation on the front line. Although Jin Ke has withdrawn from Jinling City, he is likely to make a comeback. According to reports, the general has led an army of 200,000.
Hurry back to the capital and wait for the general to return to the capital, the situation in Jinling City is not good."
After a pause, he continued: "Yan Jing left Princess Pingning and her son in Langzhou temporarily just for the safety of Jingling City. If Nan Zhi and her son were allowed to return to Luyan Port, there would be no room for relaxation."
"The general disregards the foundation laid by our ancestors and helps the tyrants to do evil. Even if he mobilizes all the cavalry of Qinghe, I will not be afraid."
Lin Jinshu reprimanded firmly.
Now the main force of the three battalions plus the gathered surrendered troops has reached 80,000 people, which is enough to resist the Qinghe Army's offensive. She is still sure of victory in defending Jinling City.
What Yin Enci is worried about now is not that Lin Jinke will attack Jinling City again, but that the fight between the two kings will damage the vitality of the empire.
After all, his grandson cares about the life and death of some people and will put the overall situation first, but King Qinghe is not a master who cares about the overall situation. Now he has almost mobilized all the Qinghe army to ignore the ancestral foundation. On the contrary, he is worried about Jiangshan society.
Fall apart.
But since she chose to let her granddaughter-in-law leave the capital, she believed in her own vision. If that girl couldn't even deal with Princess Yan Jing, then she could only blame herself for being wrong.
After thinking about it in her heart for a moment, she didn't want to reveal her feelings in front of everyone, and waved her hands indifferently: "That's all, let them do what they want. The Aijia are exhausted, so please step aside."
After saying that, he stood up and led Hailian back to the inner palace.
Seeing that the emperor's grandmother had no conclusion, Lin Jinshu didn't want to talk to the sixth uncle anymore and left Zhaochun Palace first.
Lin Tingyan had no choice but to walk out of the palace with Lin Yanjun.
After carefully savoring Lin Yanjun's words of protecting the concubine just now, after walking out of the inner palace, Lin Tingyan suddenly asked: "Jun Yan, do you really think that Yan Jing is just here to keep Princess Pingning for a while?"
"What do you think, brother Huang?"
Lin Yanjun asked directly back.
"The old lady came out of the capital with King Qin's edict. This matter is already known to everyone. She dares to detain people for such an urgent matter. I'm afraid her intention is not simple."
Lin Tingyan did not shy away from expressing his feelings directly: "Now that Jin Ke is in rebellion, no less than ten governors have requested to bring troops to the capital for reinforcements, but they have all been declined by the ancestors and His Majesty. At this time, which ones are loyal to protect the Lord, and which ones are caring?
It’s really hard to tell from the unknown, so I only asked Jin Shu to transfer back a few of his close garrisons from the North just to wait for Jin Xiao to go north.”
"According to the imperial brother, Yan Jing doesn't want Jin Xiao to go north?"
Lin Yanjun began to pretend to be confused, pretending to understand.
"Does Yan Jun want the couple to go north?"
Lin Tingyan glanced at her with a deep look: "My dear sister, please don't forget that there is still a little princess imprisoned in Youting Palace who doesn't know when she will see the light of day again. Wanying has tried to murder Princess Pingning and her child several times.
, if Jin Xiao goes north, I'm afraid the first person she wants to punish is Wan Ying, right?"
These words made Lin Yanjun stunned on the spot, and completely shattered the remaining thoughts of luck in her heart.
"Does the imperial brother want to bring King Qinghe to Beijing?"
Lin Yanjun looked at him warily.
Lin Tingyan shook his head disdainfully: "If Jin Ke enters the capital, there will be no way for our clan in Jingling City to survive."
"What does the emperor mean?"
Lin Yanjun seemed to understand something and asked with a smile: "Is it possible that the emperor also wants to compete for this big position?"
"If I am so lucky, I don't dare to boast about anything else. At least I can protect the emperor's sister, mother and daughter, and have good food and clothing throughout their lives without being hijacked by others."
Lin Tingyan finally spoke his mind.
"I can trust your words, brother Huang."
Although Lin Yanjun was full of contempt in his heart, he didn't show it on his face at all: "I just don't know how the emperor can compete in the world?"
"The mountain people have their own clever ideas."
Lin Tingyan looked up casually in the direction outside the palace wall and sighed: "Now that Jin Ke has lost people's hearts, even if the general comes back to help, it will be of no avail. Instead, the imperial sister should carefully consider what Brother Yu just said."
Lin Yanjun knew what he meant, and sighed sadly: "I don't know that I shouldn't let Princess Ning leave the capital easily, but she is the person chosen by the ancestors after all, so what can I do?"
"It's not too late to fix the problem before it's too late."
Lin Tingyan reminded: "I know that you have a small friendship with Yan Jing. As long as you write a letter to persuade her to withstand the pressure, try to remove the military power of Governor Rong Hengda, and keep a close eye on Nan Zhi mother and son, then I will be able to
Find a way to make Jin Xiao submit."
"Yuan Zhi has been ill for many years. Rong Heng has a high reputation in the army and is the leader of the younger generation of the Ji clan. He was ordered to take over the Langzhou army. How can a woman from Yan Jing's family control him?"
Lin Yanjun shook his head helplessly.
Lin Tingyan deliberately made a gesture of wiping his neck: "If you can't control it, then get rid of him. I believe that Yan Jing has been running Langzhou for Prince Consort Pei for many years, so she still has this ability."
"After all, she is a close relative of her deceased husband's family, so how could I bear to be her aunt?"
Lin Yanjun sighed bitterly again.
"Then we can only wait for Jin Xiao to come to Beijing to punish Wanying."
Lin Tingyan stopped persuading and was about to leave when Lin Yanjun suddenly stopped him: "Brother, wait a moment."
Seeing him turn around, he hurriedly asked: "After getting rid of Rong Heng, what should your brother do?"
"Leave the next matter to Brother Yu, Brother Yu will have his own countermeasures."
Lin Tingyan looked at her for a long time, and finally reached a tacit understanding.
After leaving the palace, he returned to his residence and personally selected more than thirty swordsmen and rushed to Langzhou.
Thinking of Chu Nanzhi's voice and smile, he felt a little unbearable, but for the great cause in his heart, and thinking of Yang Situ who generously died for him, he finally gritted his teeth:
This time I could only send her off with tears in my eyes.
Who makes her unwilling to stay in Jingling City honestly?
