Chapter 149 The heroine Di Ji who died for her country (twenty-eight)
Lin Zhen: Are you ministers so direct?
Li Mo from the back also had a ghostly expression on his face when he heard this: Is this fucking Shen Ze? Is this really something that can come out of Shen Ze's mouth? Isn't he fishing for law enforcement?
Lin Zhen didn't know what Shen Ze was thinking, and Jiang Wei didn't seem to know much about Shen Shangshu. So, naturally, she couldn't expose anything in front of Shen Ze, at least not so straightforward before usurping the throne, and she still had to pull off a little bit. What kind of flag is it? It will be much easier to finish it in the future.
So, Lin Zhen said solemnly: "What are you saying, Shen Shangshu? I am here to welcome His Majesty back to the capital, why are you talking about this!"
Shen Ze looked at Lin Zhen's firm expression and didn't know whether the emperor was really stubborn or worried. He couldn't see any clues from her expression. He could only assume that Jiang Wei was a person who was "junjunchenchenfu". "Father and son" brainwashed little idiots.
He sighed in disappointment, cupped his hands to Lin Zhen and said: "Since Your Highness has no such ambition, please treat Di Ji as if I didn't say anything today. In any case, I still want to thank Di Ji for traveling thousands of miles to save the capital." The people are in water and fire."
"Shang Shu Shen, you're welcome." Lin Zhen reined in his horse's bridle and said seriously, "This is what I should do."
This is a benevolent king! Why don’t you usurp the throne quickly?
Shen Ze roared crazily in his heart, and said farewell to Lin Zhen with admiration and regret: "Emperor Ji, I am not feeling well and feel a little tired, so I can only say goodbye first."
Lin Zhen nodded and stretched out his hand to indicate: "Shang Shu Shen, please excuse me. It just so happens that we have to hurry up and catch up with His Majesty."
Lin Zhen and Li Mo watched Shen Ze lie down in his carriage, and then they called to the troops behind them to continue on their way: "Hurry up and catch up with His Majesty as soon as possible and return to Chang'an!"
Rows of military horses wearing iron armor and holding swords walked neatly and orderly on the road.
Shen Ze was lying in the carriage watching this scene, and couldn't help but sigh again: "Alas..."
——
After walking for another half a day, everyone finally saw the shadows of bustling carriages and horses in front of the road.
The ministers at the rear of the team were much calmer, and they remained unhurried when they saw the dust rising from behind. Some even stopped and raised their weapons in the direction of the horses - even though he looked very old. He looked as if he would fall to the ground with just a slight push.
Lin Zhen quickly slowed down his mount and reined in the horse cautiously, fearing that the horse would run too fast and bump its hooves, hitting the serious old men in front of him.
Li Mo also arrived shortly after. After seeing the situation in front of him, he reined in his horse like Lin Zhen and whispered: "Wow, what's going on?"
The old men finally recognized the person in front of them clearly and said tentatively: "Prince Pingning?"
Lin Zhen nodded: "It's me." She looked at them and asked, "What do you mean by this?"
Are you mistaking them for Huns again?
The old men looked embarrassed, ordered the swords they held to be put back, and said "Haha": "Ah, nothing happened, some old eyes are dim..."
"I've met Emperor Ji." After they greeted each other, they changed the subject as if nothing had happened and moved their eyes to Li Mo behind Lin Zhen. "Oh, this general looks familiar too..."
Lin Zhen took advantage of the situation and introduced them: "This is General Li Mo of Zhenyuan. Thanks to General Li, we were able to retake Yucheng and solve the dilemma of Chang'an."
"Oh? The Huns in Yucheng have retreated?" Upon hearing the news, these old people looked excited, "Oh, General Zhenyuan is really a hero..."
If these experienced veterans really want to praise someone, they will definitely be very powerful.
Li Mo was overwhelmed by the rainbow fart and stood there at a loss. He looked like a poor child who was forced to recognize his relatives during the Chinese New Year. He bowed his hands to the old people and said, "I have met Captain Yang.
I have met Prime Minister Wang... The capture of Yu City was all due to His Highness. The general cannot afford such praise..."
"Ah, General, you don't have to be too humble..." The veterans ended this compliment perfectly, and then directed their lines at Lin Zhen in a good-natured way, "The Emperor is also a dragon and a phoenix, with both civil and military skills..."
So Lin Zhen was also overwhelmed by rainbow farts.
When the two of them finally listened in a daze to a large piece of non-repeated praise in parallel prose with gorgeous rhetoric and neat contrasts, the topic finally turned to serious matters: "I wonder why Emperor Ji led her troops here."
"The Huns from Yucheng have retreated," Lin Zhen repeated the unified rhetoric, "I am here to welcome the emperor back to Chang'an."
The old ministers all fell silent in unison.
Their faces showed a look of regret that was similar to Shen Ze's, but they were still much calmer than Shen Ze. They only smiled calmly and praised: "It is really a blessing for the Chu royal family to have Emperor Ji like this."
Lin Zhen, like them, pretended to be stupid and said "Haha", "You guys are overly complimentary, too complimentary." She was about to flatter him and run away, saying goodbye, "We still have to go to find your majesty, so I won't bother you more.
Let’s go. Farewell!”
The old ministers smiled and saluted: "Emperor Ji, go slowly."
Lin Zhen and Li Mo left this place as quickly as possible.
After walking far away, Li Mo complained to Lin Zhen aggrievedly: "Your Highness, these people in the court are really scary!"
"No way." Lin Zhen looked back at Li Mo's lively expression and said jokingly, "General Li, people praise you for being brave and good at fighting. You are a hero. What is there to be afraid of?"
Does it have to rhyme with this?
Li Mo couldn't bear to listen to the rustic words adapted by Lin Zhen, and tried to correct him: "They didn't say that..."
"Ahem, their wonderful descriptions are too complicated," Lin Zhen said, stroking his chin, "I think I summarized it pretty well, huh?"
Li Mo: "Well..."
He still couldn't help but rub his arms: "Obviously those people have very good attitudes and speak nicely, but I always feel a little creepy and have goose bumps."
Lin Zhen: "Well, it doesn't matter. You will get used to being praised a few times in the future. I can hire someone to help you get used to this feeling."
Li Mo silently shook the goosebumps on his body: "No need, Your Highness. I suddenly feel much better."
And where Lin Zhen and Li Mo couldn't see them, the veterans gathered on a carriage and discussed in a low voice with sad faces: "Li Mo is a border guard and returned to Beijing privately without any orders..."
Another person glared at him: "The Huns have already arrived at the door of our house, so sending troops back is just to protect them. What's there to be harsh about?"
"It's not that I want to be harsh, I'm worried about Your Majesty..."
"Don't you understand what His Majesty did? Even without this incident, Li Mo would have been despised by Your Majesty!" Taiwei Yang had a bad temper, and he said angrily, "If Your Majesty kills Li Mo because of this, how can it be done?
Don’t let the loyal ministers and righteous people in the world feel cold!”
The other person next to him said silently: "It's already very chilling..."
