The weather is getting hotter and hotter, and the chirping cicadas on the trees are getting more and more irritable. In front of the Princess's Mansion, the crowds of cars, horses and people are really crowded, and it is extremely noisy. Some smart vendors specially choose herbal tea to sell, and they make a lot of money in a day.
It's enough to cover a family's expenses for half a year. Those who come here are all dignitaries, who cares about the little money as a reward.
Wencai looked at the gifts that were brought in again, as well as the baskets and baskets of greeting cards, and he became irritable. The prince-in-law was elusive all day long, and sometimes he didn't see him for several days. And his princess didn't know either.
What happened suddenly? She became more and more unrecognizable. In his opinion, this was at least a person who knew how to protect herself. But after what she had done in the past six months, he really couldn't see her way out.
Counted.
On the eighth day of March, Yushitai Censor He Luohui impeached Prime Minister Guo Changhe for forming a clique to control the imperial examination for private purposes. The emperor ordered Guo Changhe to defend himself. Anyone with a discerning eye knew that the emperor wanted to take action against Prime Minister Guo. But it happened that the princess defended Guo in court.
Chang He excused himself and asked He Luohui what a 'party' and what a 'private' meant. She said that the meeting cabinet was established by the late emperor, and this seven-member 'party' was also approved by the late emperor. Adhering to the late emperor's ambition, he elected for the country
How can it be considered 'private'?
In addition, the censor He Xiang impeached Guo Changhe on the spot for using the imperial examination to practice favoritism, saying that it was clear evidence that Guo Changhe's heir was ranked among the top two in the imperial examination. The princess also said that one should not avoid relatives when promoting virtuous people, and the top ten in the imperial examination were personally determined by your majesty.
What is Prime Minister Guo doing?
Finally, she advised His Majesty: Although He Xiang's impeachment was false, the things he stated could be regarded as a warning to the imperial court. In future imperial examinations, more efforts should be made to avoid suspicion. Therefore, He Xiang was recommended to be the inspector.
Shi. Guo Changhe did not take the initiative to avoid suspicion during the scientific examination and was fined half a year's salary. He Luohuifeng heard about his remarks and had bad intentions to sow discord between the emperor and his ministers. He should be punished! The emperor said nothing and walked away. Later, he issued an edict to reprimand him.
The princess overstepped her bounds, causing the princess to shut herself up and think about her mistakes.
On April 13th, the Marquis of Jing'an and the generals stationed in various places returned to the capital. A banquet was held in the palace to welcome the generals. At the banquet, the emperor smiled and said that he was reluctant to leave the generals and would leave them in the capital to obey orders. He asked a few people what they thought.
The princess suggested to the emperor on the spot that the generals could change their defenses, but it was not appropriate to stay in the capital. The emperor smiled at that time and said nothing. The next day he sent the imperial doctor, saying only that the princess was not in good health and wanted to rest in the mansion.
.
I have been raising it for two months.
The weather in June was as hot as fire, and the heat was very unbearable. Wen Cai stamped his feet and said to Guixi who was helping in front: "You just keep an eye on it, I'll go in and ask His Highness, what should I do next?" It's getting worse and worse.
Many people came to visit the princess's house. Although the princess was closed to the public, they could not stop the enthusiasm of these people.
People say that the princess is fair and impartial, with clear rewards and punishments. The officials even regard the princess as their patron saint. But in his opinion, what these people like about His Highness is that His Highness does not touch their interests.
He walked quickly and saw the princess dancing a sword in a pavilion on the water from a distance.
Sanxi turned around and waved his hand to Wencai, telling him to stop talking. Wencai came closer, stood beside Sanxi, and asked in a low voice: "Why are you dancing with a sword in this hot weather?"
"I can't hold it back!" Sanxi replied in a low voice.
Wen Cai sighed, this was something he couldn't understand. It's not like the princess didn't understand the powerful relationship here. The censor impeached Guo Changhe, because he wanted to attack the council and take back his power. He wanted to remove the military power of the generals stationed in various places.
, naturally she wanted to replace her with one of her own so that it would be easier to control. But by doing this, the princess repeatedly ruined His Majesty’s affairs. Even the mother and daughter couldn’t stand such a waste!
Lin Yutong put away her sword, took the handkerchief from Sanxi and wiped her face. She turned around and asked Wencai: "Why did you come in? Is there something wrong?"
Wencai entered the pavilion and whispered: "Your Highness, the outside is already crowded with people. If this continues... Your Majesty may keep asking His Majesty to rest."
Lin Yutong drank half a bowl of half-warm mung bean soup and chuckled: "What? Isn't it good to keep it alive?"
Good? Where is good?
Wen Cai looked at Lin Yutong in confusion: "Your Highness, please tell me."
Lin Yutong put down the bowl, looked at the swaying lotus in the pond, and suddenly asked: "You walk around the market all day long, do you know what people outside say about me?"
Why are you asking about this?
Wencai thought for a moment in his mind: "Everyone knows what kind of person His Highness is. The clever tricks you devise to lure the enemy show that Your Highness is smart and intelligent. He has argued for many ministers in front of the emperor many times, which shows that you dare to give direct advice; you
I once went to the battlefield and won a complete victory. It is not an exaggeration to say that I am brave and good at fighting. You suggested that the imperial court should set up an inspection censor to strictly inspect the disasters and officials in various places. This is because you are considerate of the people. You asked the garrison in various places to change their defenses. Your Excellency in the DPRK
Everyone praises you for your great political foresight."
Lin Yutong turned around and took a look at Wencai: "He is witty and intelligent, dares to give direct advice, is brave and adept at fighting, is considerate of the people, and has considerable political foresight. Haha... Are you sure this is me, not Mr. Fusu?"
Wen Cai was stunned at first, and then stunned.
Yes! Isn’t the current evaluation of His Highness exactly the same as the evaluation of Young Master Fusu by later generations? Young Master Fusu died, and Qin II died. So what about now? Do you want history to repeat itself? No! No! This is
There are many smart people in the world, and there are always people who can break through mysteries. The comparison between Hu Hai and Fu Su shows his sagacity. Now that His Highness and the Emperor are on opposite sides, this is not a set of comparisons.
This is a conspiracy! This is a conspiracy.
She did what she had to do, and then there were people cheering for her. Now, the situation outside the princess's house is proof of that.
Wen Cai's mind was spinning, Young Master Fusu was forced to commit suicide, so would His Majesty force His Highness like this? No! Even if forced, would His Highness follow the old path of Young Master Fusu? No! The Prince Consort leaves early and comes home late, I'm afraid
It is to prepare just in case.
All the ministers in the dynasty did not approve of a woman being the emperor. If Her Highness could not get the world to accept her, even if she gained the emperor's trust and even if she finally ascended the throne, what would follow would be endless internal fighting. What good would it do to the world?
But now, the situation is different. People all over the world are spreading word of mouth about His Highness's achievements, and the ministers in the court have regarded His Highness as one of their own. Your Majesty may think that His Highness is upright and too kind, but at this time, his uprightness and kindness are not the same.
It is also the most appropriate. Especially compared with His Majesty, one is good at using deceitful tricks, is treacherous, and ruthless, while the other is upright, kind-hearted, upright and selfless. If the world were to choose between these two people, they would choose him.
who?
Even if His Highness is also a woman, they are willing to choose a just and kind monarch. Only with such a monarch, ministers will not have to be frightened and tremble.
After he figured this out, he looked at Lin Yutong in a different way.
Of course, Mrs. Gan received the news about what happened in front of the princess's house. Aunt He whispered: "The girl did not meet those people. You don't need to worry too much."
Mrs. Gan shook her head: "It's not that I'm careless! It's this disgusting minister! They are trying to drive a wedge between us, mother and daughter."
Aunt He looked at the coldness in Mrs. Gan's eyes and whispered: "You are the girl's biological mother. There is no way that others can alienate each other if they want to. Besides, the girl has always been a person with ideas. Didn't you do it before?
Praise the girl. If you have a good idea, the person with the idea will not suffer. Isn’t this what you trust the most about the girl?"
"She has an idea." Ms. Gan tilted her head tiredly, "But this idea is too right. She won't walk on the road I paved for her, and she has to come with me. Her temperament needs to be broken.
"
"Master, old slave, look, the girl's temperament is up to you." Aunt He advised, "Think about it, of all the things you have made up your mind, which one have you failed to accomplish? No matter what others say, you
What should I do? Whose words can you listen to? The old slave looks at you and the girl, you are at a crossroads. Take a step back, who calls you a mother-in-law? We haven’t seen each other for two months, you
Can I miss the girl? I’m worried about this in my heart.”
The expression on Mr. Gan's face couldn't help but soften: "This time, we only ask them to observe the filial piety period for one year. Next year, they will have to have a child no matter what."
Aunt He said with a smile on her face, "My old slave's body and bones are not bad, and he can still exert some strength."
"That's alright..." Mrs. Gan said with a smile, "You can go and deliver the message later and ask her how she is doing. If she is well... call her..."
Before he finished speaking, Laifu came in from outside and reported back: "Your Majesty, Commander Jin Chengquan and Jin are outside asking for a meeting. It seems there is something urgent."
Mr. Gan stopped talking and his expression suddenly became serious, "Tell him to come in."
Grandma He knew that if this person said something was wrong, it must be a big deal.
When Jin Chengquan came in, he was wearing full armor and his face was sweating profusely. Dressed like this in such weather, the feeling made even the people watching feel hot for him. He was only in his thirties and elegant.
There was a bit of heroism in him. But the occasional sinister flash in his eyes ruined his otherwise good temperament.
Aunt He handed him a cup of tea to relieve the heat, and looked at the man quietly for a few times before stepping aside. She was thinking about how to persuade another young ancestor tomorrow when she heard Jin Chengquan's voice.
Lai: "...Dong Jin and his crown prince, there have been many changes..."
What? Mother He raised her head in shock and looked at the other party.
Duke Jin? Isn’t this his biological brother? What does this mean? Do you want to disown him?
Aunt He stared blankly at Jin Chengquan standing in the main hall, feeling that all the hairs on her body stood up. How could this person's character be so terrifying?
Mr. Gan frowned: "What do you mean by abnormal movement?"
"Your Majesty!" Jin Chengquan glanced at Mr. Gan, a hint of amazement flashed in his eyes. He lowered his head hurriedly, and pursed the corners of his mouth as if to cover up, "There is something you probably don't know, not even the late emperor.
I know that my father and grandfather were both former secret guard commanders..."
"What?" Mr. Gan's face turned extremely ugly in an instant, "Do you know what you are talking about?"
Secret guard, this institution that the late emperor didn't even touch, is actually in the hands of Jin Cheng'an. Is this what you mean? She felt a little irritable. Does Yun Yin know about this? Does the consort know? She couldn't help guessing.
.
"Yes!" Jin Chengquan responded affirmatively, glanced at Gan quickly, and then lowered his eyelids, "Before my father passed away, he asked his brother to have a private conversation. At that time, Chen... and Chen's mother stood there.
Outside the door, I only heard a few words, but I didn’t hear them all. My mother pulled me away. My mother asked me to forget everything I heard. Therefore, I have never mentioned it to anyone in these years.
. But now, the situation is different. My brother knows how many people my father left behind and where they are hidden. Previously, I think your majesty also heard about the broken crossbow army that came and went without a trace.
Your Majesty should know how strong they are. I can't guarantee that my brother doesn't have another broken crossbow army. With his temperament, he wouldn't hand over all his family wealth to a bastard. This broken crossbow
Chu Yuan knew about the situation of the army at that time. As the prime minister, Chu Yuangui, why did he still take orders from his elder brother and let his elder brother take the lead? I am afraid that his elder brother should have some power behind his back. Otherwise, Chu Yuan would be the prime minister.
With Yuan's character, he must have found a way to swallow up the power of Duke Jin's government. Considering this aspect, I have this suspicion. Therefore, I came to warn Your Majesty. My brother has been in control of the Imperial Guards for many years, and Mr. Lin does not
When it comes to ability, it's just a foundation, and it's very shallow. I'm afraid he may not be able to understand the relationship inside."
Mr. Gan calmed down the expression on his face, waved his hand, and simply asked: "The only people involved are Jin Chengan and his eldest son?"
Jin Chengquan paused: "I am incompetent. So far I have only discovered clues about the father and son."
"You know what I want to ask?" Mrs. Gan stood up and stood on the imperial steps looking down at Jin Chengquan, "I want to ask you if the consort was involved? They would never suddenly have such thoughts for no reason.
"
Consort? How should I say this? Does she want to involve the consort or not? It seems that she may not have much trust in the fourth son and his wife.
"I...I don't know!" Jin Chengquan narrowed his eyes, and then quickly said: "It seems that the prince-in-law often leaves the city recently..."
This is a kind of test. You have to see her attitude first.
Gan glanced at Jin Chengquan thoughtfully, then smiled and shook his head: "It is normal for the prince-in-law to lead the supervisory army's errands and go to the Imperial Forest Army."
The corner of Jin Chengquan's mouth moved, his eyes narrowed, and he nodded, "What you are saying is that my brother doesn't really like the concubine, the concubine."
This is like saying nothing. This person is very good at observing words and emotions and figuring out people's hearts.
Mr. Gan frowned and sat back in his seat. He stopped arguing about this matter and asked in a different direction: "Are there any other ministers in the court who are colluding with Jin Chengan?"
"This... I need to find out more carefully." Jin Chengquan wiped the sweat from his head and suddenly regretted that he had been a little reckless this time.
Mr. Gan pondered for a long time and said nothing. When he came to his senses, he suddenly asked Jin Chengquan, "What do you think of the defense change that Yunyin proposed before?"
Jin Chengquan glanced at Mrs. Gan in surprise, never expecting that she would ask such a question. What should I say? She wanted to install her own people, so she must have blamed the princess for ruining her affairs. But she was her biological mother after all.
Daughter, no matter how bad my daughter is, it is not anyone else's turn to complain. He pondered for a moment and said: "Your Majesty wants to keep the generals in the capital, but they are not willing to give up the power in their hands. I am dissatisfied. If this stimulus is given, it will inevitably
Exacerbating the conflict. However, His Majesty is wise in the end. He first scared a few people by saying that he was stranded in the capital, and then Her Royal Highness the Princess proposed to change the defense. This is a good way to solve the problem. In the final analysis, His Majesty's purpose is to prevent a few people from relying on their own troops. Can
The method to achieve the goal is a good one. His Majesty and His Highness sing in harmony, one is a bad guy and the other is a bad guy, and they work together tacitly. Otherwise, let alone asking them to stay in the capital, asking them to switch defenses, it will probably be even more difficult and difficult to achieve.
thing."
Gan took another look at Jin Chengquan. This man was not only ambitious and ruthless, but also flexible. Such a person is easy to use, but not easy to use. He can be used as a sword, but
She couldn't trust her. She turned the jasper bracelet on her wrist like a clear spring, and then said: "You can kill your relatives with justice, your loyalty is really commendable. I will record this credit for you first. As for Jin Chengan's matter, I still need you.
Continue to investigate..."
"I do have an idea." Jin Chengquan whispered, looking at Mr. Gan with burning eyes.
Gan beckoned: "Come closer."
Jin Chengquan took a deep breath and walked up to Mr. Gan. As he got closer, a refreshing fragrance hit his nostrils, causing him to lose consciousness for a moment. When he heard it, he found that Mrs. Gan's skin was as delicate as a girl's.
The ears were also very delicate. His heart beat violently, and even his breathing became hot.
Gan naturally felt the hot air blowing over him, and turned around with a cold look. Jin Chengquan was startled, and finally calmed down, and then whispered a few words.
Aunt He strained her ears to listen, but could not hear a single word.
After hearing Jin Chengquan's idea, Mrs. Gan secretly said something cruel. She was also wary of this person, but her expression became more gentle, "Do as you say. In addition, you should go there first after you leave the palace.
Princess Mansion. Send a message to Yunyin and tell her to come into the palace tomorrow."
Jin Cheng's face was filled with joy, he took two steps back, raised his hands in response, and then slowly withdrew.
The people in front of the princess's house dispersed immediately when they saw that the person coming was Jin Chengquan. Who didn't know that this person was an out-and-out minion. After Jin Chengan looked around, he understood what the emperor meant by calling him over. This can be regarded as
A warning in disguise.
Before he entered the house, Lin Yutong already knew that he was coming. But she didn't see him either, and just let Wencai send him away. Regarding Jin Chengquan, she did not hide her disgust for him at all.
Wencai sent Jin Chengquan away, then came in and replied: "Your Majesty, please come to the palace tomorrow."
Lin Yutong nodded to show that he understood, then turned to Sanxi and asked: "Gui Wu didn't come back with any news?"
Sanxi shook her head: "No. This is already the third day."
Yes! It's been three days. It's time for Fourth Master to come back.
At this time, the fourth master, Marquis Jing'an, was in the mountains behind a small temple. The two of them were wearing bamboo hats and each had a fishing rod, both staring at the floats on the water. It was cool in the mountains, even at noon, sitting under the shade of the trees,
I don't feel any impetuousness either.
Marquis Jing'an glanced at the fourth master and suddenly said: "There is something I have always wanted to ask you."
Fourth Master nodded and smiled a little: "You ask. There are no outsiders here."
"I just want to ask...you never thought about taking your place?" Marquis Jing'an said, staring at the fourth master's face, as if he wanted to look at him.
The Fourth Master raised his eyebrows, asking a direct question. However, no matter how close he was, some of these words could not be spoken. He never thought of answering, but turned around and asked: "Instead? Why do you think so?"
"Many people in the court think that you are the most suitable candidate." Marquis Jing'an looked at the fourth master, "I asked you out this time, not just because of my will." After saying this, he reacted fiercely.
Come here and ask him a question yourself. Why didn't you take anything out of his mouth? Instead, he quietly took the initiative and got rid of his purpose.
The Fourth Master didn't seem to notice the change in Marquis Jing'an's expression and just nodded: "I guessed it!"
Guessed it?
Marquis Jing'an looked at the Fourth Master, trying to understand what he was thinking. But after waiting for a long time, he heard nothing more. Seeing that the other party was still so old-fashioned, he was even more puzzled, "You have nothing to say. Or rather, there is nothing."
You need to explain?" This reaction is not normal. For others, they would have been excited for a long time, then humbled for a long time, and then planned for three to five days. This is normal. But what about this person's reaction? To say it is ordinary is a bit too much.
"What do you want to tell me?" The fourth master suddenly lifted the fishing rod, and a long crucian carp swayed on the fishing rod with its tail wagging. He took the fish off with a smile and put it into the water. "Plans can never keep up with changes, you
No matter how careful the plan is, it still depends on God’s will.”
With that said, he picked up the fishing rod, stood up leisurely, and went to the temple.
Marquis Jing'an looked at the fourth master's back in astonishment, unable to react for a moment. Did he agree or not? What does it mean to be so ambiguous?
The Fourth Master ignored what Marquis Jing'an thought and just entered the meditation room. A bald novice monk walked in and handed over a note, "Master, it just came."
"Yes!" The fourth master took it, read the contents on the note, and narrowed his eyes. "Xiao Wei, light the lamp." Xiao Wei responded, without saying a word, he lit the oil lamp.
, and then watched the note burn and blew out the oil lamp. Without the Fourth Master saying anything else, he turned around and disposed of the ashes of the note.
"Pack your things and go back home."
When the Fourth Master arrived home, it was already dark. Lin Yutong was washing the Fourth Master's hair and looked at the Fourth Master's face, "It's all sunburned."
"The sun is poisonous." Fourth Master wiped his face and whispered: "Jin Chengquan reported Jin Chengan and his son."
"Telling?" Lin Yutong paused, "He is really... loyal. Will it involve you?"
"The relationship between you and Mr. Gan, and between me and Jin Chengan, is not meant to be cut off. Unless one party dies, in the eyes of outsiders, they are the same thing. If something happens, do you really want to avoid being involved?" Fourth Master shook his head.
Shaking his head, "When the nine clans are implicated, they don't ask whether the relationships within the family are harmonious or not."
Lin Yutong frowned: "What should we do? Want to warn Jin Chengan?"
"I reminded you last time." Fourth Master chuckled, "I'm afraid the reason behind this is more complicated than we thought."
complex?
"Do you suspect that Jin Chengquan is a double-faced agent, selling both sides?" Lin Yutong suddenly thought of a certain possibility. Thinking about the series of calculations that Jin Chengquan had hidden in the dark before, this really fits his character.
"Two ends are sold, three plans." The fourth master stood up, wiped his body carelessly, and did not continue, he just asked, "What are you eating for dinner? In the temple recently, everything you eat is vegetarian."
In the evening, the Fourth Master ate three bowls of rice with shredded pork in soy sauce. Only then did he talk about the fact that the Marquis of Jingan was looking for him.
"Do you want to hang them?" Lin Yutong couldn't help asking after hearing what Fourth Master meant, but he didn't express his position at all.
The Fourth Master did not answer. After a long time, he said: "I'm afraid that the people here have impure thoughts." If such a thing is really done, the Dharma will never be spread to the ears. The Marquis of Jingan asked him out so carelessly,
He also said that he represented the crowd. This crowd... is actually the most untrustworthy.
The next day, Lin Yutong entered the palace early in the morning. It was not a royal court today, so she met Mr. Gan early in the morning.
"I've been raising it for two months. Why is it getting smaller and smaller?" Mrs. Gan looked at Lin Yutong and frowned again.
Lin Yutong touched his face: "Ku Xia! What can we do?"
Mrs. Gan asked Lin Yutong to sit down, "If there is anything you want to eat later, no matter what it is, tell someone to tell Aunt He, and we will always find it for you."
Lin Yutong responded and said nothing.
Gan sighed: "Are you still angry with me? Do you know how much trouble you have caused?" He asked, and then without waiting for Lin Yutong to answer, he gave her a note, "Look, this is what happened today."
I just collected the folds."
Lin Yutong opened the folder suspiciously, feeling a little shocked, "This... this is not what I meant." The folder turned out to be a joint letter recommending herself as the Crown Princess. "I have not hinted to anyone...
"
"I know!" Mrs. Gan chuckled, "But that's fine. I didn't dare to appoint you as the Crown Princess before because I was afraid that the courtiers would object. Now they don't object, and we don't have any worries anymore. This Crown Princess can be canonized.
Now that you have been conferred the title of Crown Princess, you can live in the palace with integrity. Mother and daughter can also see each other every day."
This still wants to put myself under her nose.
Lin Yutong raised his brows and moved the corners of his mouth, "It's up to you."
Mrs. Gan was a little surprised by Lin Yutong's reaction, "I thought you were going to refuse."
"A person who is a prince may not be an emperor, and a person who is an emperor may not be a prince." Lin Yutong said bluntly, "In this case, there is nothing to refuse."
"You... always tell the truth, which is not good." Mrs. Gan smiled, "However, Jin Yunshun lived in the East Palace before, so it is not a very auspicious place. Let's wait until it is renovated."
This is delayed.
Lin Yutong couldn't understand what Gan meant for a moment, so he nodded indifferently, "Anything will do."
The smile on Mrs. Gan's lips became softer and softer. It seemed that she really didn't care whether she was the Crown Princess or not. "The East Palace is small, and it will take more than half a year to renovate it. No matter what, it will be next year.
.It’s time to give birth to a child by then. Only when the child’s cries and laughter are heard in this palace will it become somewhat popular.”
Lin Yutong responded a few words and was sent out again. She didn't explain anything, and she didn't say anything about going to the meeting room. Instead, she kept talking about the child. She didn't come back to her senses until she came out of the palace.
This is to comfort myself. Even if there is no errand, there is still the identity of the Crown Princess hanging there.
When he got home, the fourth master said: "This is not just for comfort, I'm afraid you ruined her things before. Now I want to get you away. You are in the way, and you are a bit in the way."
Lin Yutong pursed her lips, "I always feel that she acted too hastily. Now we can only ease the conflicts, not intensify them. Although I ruined her things again and again, I also reminded her indirectly. She left.
It’s too smooth and a bit conceited.”
After that day, neither Lin Yutong nor Fourth Master went out anymore. Aunt He came several times, and Lin Yutong always said she wanted to take care of her body and prepare for pregnancy!
Preparing for pregnancy is a new term. Grandma He was shocked. But after returning to the palace for business, Mrs. Gan asked people to send a lot of medicinal materials. This was her approval of Lin Yutong's approach and told her to stay in the house.
Who wants to go out? How can I stay comfortably in my own house on this hot day?
However, every night, Fourth Master still sorts out the messages he received.
"Our guess is good..." Fourth Master showed the note to Lin Yutong, "Sure enough, something is going to happen!"
Lin Yutong took the note. It turned out that Gan sent the patrol censor to the place where the army was stationed. Needless to say, everyone knew what these people were doing. They came specifically to catch people's pigtails.
She still didn't agree to the change of defense. In other words, it was okay to change the defense, but the person had to be changed first. Maybe she was not in her position and could not understand her sense of crisis. The military power was in the hands of others, and she would not be able to rest for a moment.
Along with the thunder in the sky, it seems to indicate that a storm is coming.
Half a month later, four people patrolled the censor, and three more were killed on the way! The news was spread back to the capital, and the court was in an uproar!
When Grandma He came to visit, she wanted Lin Yutong to go into the palace and persuade Mrs. Gan, "Master is very angry. Isn't this a blatant provocation? He hasn't eaten since yesterday."
Lin Yutong said helplessly: "What do you want me to do? The military power is in other people's hands, and even the late emperor did not dare to touch it easily. Why does she dare to touch your majesty? The last time she came to the capital alone, she wanted to keep him in the capital.
She didn't want to put it back. But why didn't she want to think about it, they brought five hundred elites in disguise outside the capital, and as long as a flying pigeon passed the message, there would be an immediate rebellion. Now, besides the money confiscated from the house, does the imperial court have any wealth?
There is no money to counter the rebellion, what can we rely on? Who will work hard? But as long as the defense is changed, it will be different. They have been transferred from their old nests and the soldiers have been divided. They cannot make big waves for the time being. They are local snakes in their original station, and no one dares to
Damn it. But once they leave, will the local magistrate be a vegetarian? With a little hint, you can have as much evidence of these people’s crimes as you want. It will not be too late to deal with them by then. It’s just too much
It just took two years of work. Why is she anxious? Now she has poked a hornet's nest and is at odds with the court. What do you want me to say? Can I make money or turn beans into soldiers and kill all those who are causing trouble?
Received?"
Aunt He was startled. She didn't expect Lin Yutong's reaction to be so fierce. She didn't know how to reply when she heard Lin Yutong speak again, "You tell your majesty, now, the imperial court has no qualifications to challenge. This time the censor was killed, so you have to treat it well."
Check it out! I'm afraid this is not the work of several generals, but... people with ulterior motives trying to sow discord between His Majesty and the generals. If you go back and say so, Your Majesty will understand."
The words were so clear that Grandma He understood it herself. Regardless of whether the murder of the censor had anything to do with the garrison, the result must be that it didn't matter. No matter who takes the blame, the generals must be honest and loyal anyway. This is wrong
We need to push these people into the pile of good people.
Aunt He nodded: "I... will go back this time..."
Mrs. Gan rubbed her forehead and listened to Aunt He relaying Lin Yutong's words. Her expression became solemn, and then she waved her hand, "You go down, and by the way, let someone tell people that Jin Chengquan has entered the palace."
Aunt He didn't know whether her master had listened, so she had to step back and ask someone to pass on the oral instructions to Jin Chengquan.
The fourth master received the news at night: "Jin Chengquan and his people secretly left Beijing."
"What are you doing?" Lin Yutong asked, "Is it because of the murder of the censor?"
"I have already sent people to follow." The fourth master said, thinking a little, "The killing of these three censors should not be all caused by the generals stationed in the army. I got the news from the Marquis of Jing'an that the Northwest Army Commander Wu
Heng, he used to be his subordinate. According to his temperament, this person is absolutely incapable of assassinating the censor. I'm afraid that someone is really fishing in troubled waters."
But this is not true. I am afraid that Gan will bear all this debt on these generals.
