In fact, if one has a calmer mentality, it would not be bad to watch the daily affairs of the king and his ministers as a drama.
But first, you must first reach a level where you can treat the affairs of the king and his ministers as a drama.
When Lin Ye was punished by the emperor to kneel down, he even practiced there steadily for a while.
In this place, unsuspecting practitioners have nothing to fear, after all, there are Ouchi guards around to protect them.
Thinking of the Ouchi guards, Lin Ye actually had one more thing that he had been curious about.
The emperor dared to use himself as bait to force Tuoba Lie to rebel. Was it really only the masters of Shangyang Palace who were secretly prepared?
The Emperor is a person who wants to weaken Shangyang Palace. Although there are old masters who stand on the same line as him, there may not be other masters who are dissatisfied.
If, except for Concubine Wan Gui, there is no independent master among the imperial guards, how will the emperor feel at ease?
However, from the time Lin Ye was able to come into contact with the Emperor until now, he has not seen a truly strong person among the Ouchi guards.
If we have seen many unreasonable things after arriving at Geling City, then it is also unreasonable for the emperor to have no masters around him.
If other people were punished by the emperor to kneel down, they would probably feel panic and tremble with fear.
Lin Ye not only practiced outside the royal study, but also took advantage of this moment to carefully think about various unreasonable things.
Is there any reasonable connection between these unreasonable things?
Because he was so focused in his thinking, he didn't even hear the emperor scolding Lin Ye a few more times in the imperial study.
Well, just pretend you didn't hear it.
The people in the royal study kept trying to persuade him, and after a while the emperor seemed to have lost his temper.
After a while, Gu Xiujin came out of the imperial study. The moment he went out, he still had a look of fear on his face, but he smiled as soon as he went out.
"General, Your Majesty has called in."
"okay."
When Lin Ye stood up, he picked up the cotton pad. Gu Xiujin stared at it, wondering where Lin Ye hid that thing.
Then he discovered that there was a thin thread connected to the cotton pad. When Lin Ye stood up, he pulled the thread and the cotton pad hung between his legs.
Gu Xiujin was greatly amazed.
Seeing his expression, Lin Ye took out the cotton pad and twisted it in front of Gu Xiujin, which shocked Gu Xiujin.
Lin Ye took the cotton pad back with a smile, looking really indifferent.
He was brewing emotions as he walked into the house. As soon as he entered the door of the Imperial Study Room, Lin Ye called the criminal Lin Ye to come to see His Majesty.
Gu Xiujin followed him and saw with his own eyes that when Lin Ye lifted up his robe and knelt down, the cotton pad was thrown in front of him very skillfully, and Lin Ye just put the cotton pad on the ground.
Gu Xiujin was greatly amazed.
The emperor glanced at Lin Ye and asked: "Is it better to kneel outside or in the house?"
Lin Ye had a flattering look on his face: "Your Majesty, as long as I can calm down your Majesty's anger, I can kneel down anywhere."
This face made both Xumi Pianruo and Yin Zhongti look stunned, especially Xumi Pianruo. He thought that Lin Ye didn't seem to be like this before.
How can people really follow the local customs so quickly after arriving in Geling City?
The emperor said: "Since you like it, then kneel down."
Lin Ye said: "Your Majesty likes it, which is the joy in my heart."
As soon as these words came out of his mouth, Xumi Pianruo felt like his teeth were falling out. He finally understood why he could be reused and he was so good.
When the emperor saw Lin Ye's appearance, he glared at him again.
"Get up."
The emperor said: "You have to thank Xumi Pianruo and Yin Zhongti for this matter today. If they had not tried their best to intercede for you, I would not have spared you lightly."
Lin Ye cupped his fists towards the two adults and said, "Thank you, Lord Shangshu, and thank you, Lord Xumi."
The two men quickly returned the favor with their hands in hand.
The emperor said: "Okay, you three should stop acting. I feel exhausted just looking at you."
He pointed to the opposite side: "Sit down and talk."
The three of them sat down over there with their buttocks bent. The big shots in this row all sat in the same posture.
The Emperor said: "Yin Chongti just told me that he had revealed all my thoughts to you in advance?"
Lin Ye said: "Back to Your Majesty, Master Yin did not do well in this regard."
The emperor's eyes widened, and he looked so shocked that you could even say this.
Yin Chongti's eyes widened, with an incredible expression on his face. When he looked at Lin Ye, there was something in his eyes that meant this was a blood feud.
Lin Ye also said to Yin Chongti sincerely: "I hope Master Yin will take this as a warning and not to talk nonsense next time, especially about His Majesty's thoughts. We ministers should not make random guesses, let alone talk nonsense."
If Yin Zhongtai hadn't been able to defeat Lin Ye, he would have shouted at the traitor to draw his sword. Only one of you and I can get out alive today.
The emperor pointed outside: "Lin Ye, get out."
Lin Ye said awkwardly: "I know the crime... I'm not joking anymore."
Gu Xiujin, who was standing at the door, couldn't hold it back and burst into laughter.
The emperor turned around and said, "You go out first."
Gu Xiujin immediately leaned over and said, "I'm guilty. I'll get out now."
The emperor sighed.
He looked at Lin Ye and said: "If I didn't want to use you, I would send you to the Ministry of War right now and have people spit on you to death."
Lin Ye wanted to say that it would be an honor for a minister to die serving His Majesty, but he took one look at the emperor's look and did not dare to say it.
After the emperor sat down, he sorted out his emotions. What Lin Ye said just now, Master Yin, really did something wrong and made the emperor unable to deal with it. What he wanted to say at that time was forgotten.
"Since Yin Chongti has told you everything, I can't keep my word. Although I want to regret this matter, I am the emperor, and the emperor cannot go back on my word."
Lin Ye raised his head and said, "Your Majesty, you have to do whatever you want. You are your Majesty. If you want to regret it, then regret it."
The emperor looked at Lin Ye and said nothing, but the meaning in his eyes was that if you dare to open your mouth again, I will really let people spit you to death now.
Lin Ye was still sensible and didn't open his mouth.
The Emperor said: "Over at the Nushan camp, both the camp buildings and the food and grass supplies are complete. After the Cowardly Army is transferred here, there won't be any trouble."
He looked at Lin Ye: "If there is anything else you need help from the Ministry of War, just ask him while Yin Zhong is here."
Lin Ye first thanked the emperor, and then looked at Yin Chongti: "Master Yin, Your Majesty just said that the food and supplies are ready. I would like to thank Master Yin here."
Yin Zhongti said: "General, there is no need to be polite. We are all doing things for Your Majesty. It is our duty to contribute to Dayu."
Lin Ye hummed: "Master Yin is upright and upright. Just now I talked nonsense. It really makes me look like a villain..."
Just as Yin Chongti was about to speak, Lin Ye continued: "But from now on, I hope that the people in Nushan Camp will collect the grain and grass supplies from Nushan Camp directly from the treasury, without going through the Ministry of War."
Yin Chongti's eyes widened again. He finally saw Lin Ye's face today.
It's so shameless.
He coughed twice to hide his embarrassment and his desire to slap Lin Ye's mouth.
Yin Zhongti said: "This matter...should be decided by Your Majesty."
The Emperor said: "I remember saying before that the soldiers and horses in the Nushan camp are not subject to orders from the Ministry of War? Did I say that or not? I can't remember clearly at the moment."
Yin Chongti said: "Your Majesty did say that I will bear in mind that the Ministry of War will not interfere with the training and mobilization of soldiers and horses in Nushan Camp in the future."
The emperor said: "Well...since he is not under your control, why are you bothering to distribute food and grass to him? You are not one of our own, and you are still not grateful for your efforts. Just look at his face, you
What can I get from him?"
He looked at Lin Ye: "I will take it myself from now on. If you let me know about it and you go to trouble the people in the Ministry of War, I won't be able to spare you."
Yin Zhongtixin said that if you want to be able to speak, then our Majesty must be able to speak.
This face was really given to him by the Ministry of War. Although there was no face at all, His Majesty couldn't resist giving it to him.
The Emperor said: "This is reasonable, Yin Chongti. If he is yours, you would bother to take care of him. But if he is not yours, he can do whatever he wants, and you won't bother to take care of him."
Yin Chongti sighed in his heart and said to himself, "Your Majesty, the way you dress seems to be talking to me."
But he replied: "Thank you, Your Majesty. Your Majesty can understand my difficulty, and I am grateful..."
The emperor hummed, then looked at Lin Ye: "What else do you want to say?"
Lin Ye stood up, stood solemn, and replied seriously: "I want money."
Emperor: "Huh?"
Xumi Pianruo: "Pfft..."
Lin Ye added: "I want to know, if I want the money now, do I want it from His Majesty, or from the Ministry of War?"
The emperor turned and looked out the window: "What I just said to you was just for discussion, and I haven't drafted the decree yet."
Lin Ye said: "Then we have to ask the Ministry of War first..."
After saying this, he stretched out his hand toward Yin Chongti: "Master Shangshu, give me the money."
Yin Zhongti's heart: I'll do it?
He smiled coquettishly and asked Lin Yedao: "I wonder what the general wants, what is the money for?"
Lin Ye said seriously: "The Cowardly Army's 100,000 soldiers and horses traveled a long way from Yunzhou to Geling. The money, food and materials needed along the way should have been distributed by the Ministry of War before arriving at Geling."
Yin Zhongtixin said that I will fight with you.
He smiled coquettishly and said, "Since the soldiers and horses of the Nushan Camp are not controlled by the Ministry of War, your Majesty also said just now that the general sent people to collect the grain and grass supplies directly from the treasury, so what money does the general want from me?"
Lin Ye said: "Before the cowardly army arrived at Geling, it was still under the control of the Ministry of War."
Yin Chongti turned back to look at the emperor. The emperor sat there and nodded: "That's reasonable, um, that's reasonable."
Yin Chongti said: "Then if I give you money now, the soldiers and horses of the Nushan Camp will have to be controlled by the Ministry of War in the future."
Lin Ye said: "Now it is under the control of the Ministry of War. What I want is the money now. If I don't go under the control of the Ministry of War in the future, I definitely don't want the money in the future."
Yin Chongti: "Now the Ministry of War is giving you money, but it is money that will be used if you don't return to the control of the Ministry of War in the future. I won't pay it."
Lin Ye: "If you don't send it, the cowardly army will have no money."
Yin Chongti: "If you don't have the money, you can ask His Majesty for an order."
Lin Ye looked at the emperor, who said, "I remember that the military pay that the Ministry of War wants to send to all armies was just allocated from the treasury a while ago?"
Yin Chongti: "..."
Xumi Pianruo was sitting next to Yin Zhongti. He secretly pulled Yin Zhongti's clothes and looked at Yin Zhongti with an expression that said you can't beat them right now.
Yin Chongti sighed and made a final struggle: "Then if there is any money left after the cowardly army arrives at Geling, the general should return it to the Ministry of War."
Lin Ye said: "Master Shangshu really reminded me that if there is any leftover, it must be returned to the Ministry of War."
Yin Zhongti said: "One word is final."
Lin Ye said: "Then...what if it's not enough?"
Yin Zhongti's heart: I'll do it?
Xumi Pianruo sighed, with a look on his face that reminded you, you can't defeat them, and you keep acting stupid.
