When a general in armor saw the princess and her party, he quickly led the people from the city wall, walked down quickly, knelt on one knee, supported the ground with one hand, and held the blade with the other, lowered his head and said.
The general's eyes were fierce, and there was a smell of blood all over his body. I don't know how many people lost their lives at his hands. It was as if he had walked through a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood. Looking at his eyes made people feel cold all over.
"No gifts!" The princess' expression remained the same as usual, without any change.
"I've met General Zhang!" the general said with a slight salute to Zhang Xun.
Zhang Xun nodded slightly.
"Your Highness Princess, what happened to you!" The general saw that most of the generals behind him were injured and wrapped in white cloth.
"I met a few assassins on the road." Zhang Xun looked at the general and said.
"What?" The general was shocked, "Who dares to assassinate the princess!"
"I don't know, but they ran away!" Zhang Xun said.
"You don't have to worry about it. Just take care of the border. Now the Nine Sects are like fire and water, and your place is the most important. Do you understand?" The princess's voice was sweet and fell into the general's ears without missing a word.
"You will finally understand!" The general slightly arched his hands.
"I wonder who this young master is?" The general looked at Mochou.
Mo Chu, who was looking around, suddenly heard someone say something, so he turned to look at the princess.
"This young master saved our benefactor." Princess Lin Yin spoke to the general.
"I've seen the general!" Mo Chu bowed slightly.
"Nice to meet you, the young master is young and promising!" the general said with a smile.
"Thank you, thank you!" Mo Chu chuckled and didn't speak. The general didn't ask questions either. He didn't have much rights to ask questions about the people the eldest princess brought back!
"You should guard the border of Linguan and tell the soldiers to recharge their batteries." The princess moved lightly towards the city.
"The last general takes orders!" the general said with his fists in his hands. He was very afraid of this eldest princess. No matter in terms of mind or means, ordinary women could not compare with her. She also had her own unique insights into the strategy of governing the country.
I have been favored by the king since I was a child. Fortunately, I was born a girl. Otherwise, what would the current prince be like?
How can one sit on the throne of prince?
In fact, the king of the Lin Kingdom had five children in total, the first four of whom were girls, and only the youngest was a son. According to rumors, the king also loved his only son very much, and was named the prince when he was born.
That's the crown prince.
Because he is the only son, the prince has been unscrupulous and lawless since he was a child. He is also extremely domineering and arrogant. A few years ago, the prince was on a tour and passed by a village. He saw a beautiful girl and wanted to snatch her to be his concubine. Who knew that girl
He would rather die than surrender. When he was brought to the prince, he took a stone on the ground and hit the prince's head hard.
The prince's head was bleeding for a while, and the woman bit her tongue and committed suicide.
The prince was furious and ordered that all the 180 people in the village be lit up with sky lanterns alive, including the elderly, women and children, whether they were chickens, dogs, cattle, sheep, cats, dogs and other animals.
No one was spared.
The smell of blood spreads for miles, making it difficult to walk away from the stench.
After the monarch heard about this incident, he just ordered the incident to be suppressed without punishing the prince.
Since that incident, the prince has become more unscrupulous and will snatch any good-looking woman he meets. Anyone he likes is his. If he doesn't give it to her, he will face a bloody disaster!
Zhang Xun and Mo Chu were walking side by side in the courtyard of a mansion, and they were talking to each other. When Zhang Xun talked about the prince, Mo Chu was really angry at what his prince had done.
"Does the monarch just not care?" Mo Chu asked.
"No matter what, no matter what, he is his only son. After all, if he is removed from the position of prince, who can sit on the position of prince safely? The other four princesses are all daughters, how can they be established?
Become the crown prince?" Zhang Xun was a little helpless. He also saw that the prince was unhappy in every way. If he really had this opportunity, he would definitely drive the prince away as soon as possible.
"So, the prince must be very powerful!" Mo Chu asked.
"That's true. Right Prime Minister, General Qin who leads the troops and horses are all from the prince's faction. I don't know what benefits the prince promised, but he was able to persuade these people to stand behind him. This is because the king dare not touch him.
The reason." Zhang Xun explained.
"I see." Mo Chu had a rough understanding of the structure of the Lin Kingdom's royal family. He didn't expect the situation to be so complicated. The so-called prince was not a good person. If he became a monarch,
It might be a disaster for Lin Guo.
"In my opinion, the eldest princess is actually more suitable to be the prince and the heir apparent!" Mo Chu said.
"Why don't I think so? But if the princess becomes the king, what will the world think, what will the people of Lin country think, and how will they treat us at that time? Furthermore, it is unprecedented for a woman to sit in a high position in the temple. The emperor
Since ancient times, the throne has been passed down from male to female, it is the law of the ancestors!" Zhang Xun said.
"I thought you were a man of great righteousness, but I didn't expect that you are also a short-sighted man. Let me ask you, what is the purpose of the country!" Mo Chu looked at Zhang Xun with disdain.
"The people live and work in peace and contentment, and the king is diligent and good at government." Zhang Xun said.
"Let me ask you, princess!" Mo Chu spoke again, aggressively.
"Understand the righteousness deeply and love the people as sons." Zhang Xun spoke again.
"So, how is the current prince?" Mo Chu asked again.
Zhang Xun said without changing his expression, "Absurd, unethical, cruel and murderous, the common people are nothing but fish and meat."
Mo Chu: "You understand the truth, but let me ask you, who of the two is more suitable to be the king of this country?"
Zhang Xun lowered his head, his eyes were filled with uncertainty, and he didn't know what he was thinking.
After a while, Zhang Xun slowly said, "Eldest Princess!"
"Isn't this right?" Mo Chu said, his face full of relief.
"But the monarch will not agree!" Zhang Xun knew the monarch's stubbornness very well. Although he loved the eldest princess more than the current prince, if the Taoist ancestors' laws were involved, the monarch would seem to be a different person.
, it won’t work no matter who comes.
And the prince's mother was originally just a concubine. After she gave birth to the prince, her status in the palace also increased. The mother was more valuable because of her son, and she even had the feeling of overpowering the queen.
She wished that her son could become the emperor after the current monarch abdicated, so that she would be the queen mother with overwhelming power.
If it weren't for Mo Chu who needed to get that ray of martial luck from the Lin Kingdom, Mo Chu wouldn't have bothered to say this. He wished that all these forces were dead. Otherwise, when the time came to start a war with Taixu Mountain and other forces, these forces would step in, but
