What Lin Qing expected was not bad at all. The matter of the Xiongnu was not that simple at all. Ten days later, the spies sent him a report, which made his brows furrowed.
The civil and military officials in the court were once again summoned by Emperor Jing Hui to discuss the issue of the Xiongnu, but this time Emperor Jing Hui had a flustered expression and anxious eyes, all of which deeply betrayed his inner anxiety. .
Situ Yaohua was shocked when he read the memorials sent back by the scouts from the Detective Mansion. The Huns were still lingering by the city they had captured. Why
Situ Yaohua had a very bad guess in his heart, but he couldn't be sure, and after the minister in the court read the memorial, everyone also had the same guess, but no one dared to say it.
None of the important civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty dared to speak up, and no one dared to make an idea, and this meeting ended in a strange silence.
Soon after, Zhao Zimu rubbed Lin Qing's temples and asked worriedly, "What's wrong?"
As soon as Lin Qing returned to the mansion, he was very worried, which surprised Zhao Zimu. What could make this person show such a worried expression? Zhao Zimu had never seen it, not even when he was hunted down in his previous life.
The eighth prince fell into her trap in a daze, and her previous arrangements were also going well, but now if he is in any danger suddenly, she also has a way to deal with it, so although she is worried, she is not panicked.
Lin Qing closed his eyes and said, "Daliang's current situation is very wrong. Ever since he left the Xiongnu and relatives, it has always made people feel uneasy. I'm worried..."
"What are you worried about?" Zhao Zimu asked, and Lin Qing hesitated before saying, "The Huns have the ambition to conquer the Central Plains."
"Mu Ke ascended the throne, played the big beam, got the princess and the throne, and then captured the two cities in one fell swoop, all of which will fuel his ambitions, maybe you are right. But it's all out of your control, don't worry about it blindly. already."
Lin Qing never avoided her in anything he did, so she also knew about some important events in the court. He kissed his slender and thin fingers, and looked straight at him with some obvious longing in his eyes. .
Lin Qing turned his head away uncomfortably, knowing that she hadn't forgotten the thing she mentioned to him, so he took out a small box from his arms, opened it, and contained a bunch of golden, small and exquisite things.
Zhao Zimu's eyes showed joy, he took out the contents, brought it to him, and then held his slender hand to play with it.
Lin Qing watched her curiously fiddling quietly, his eyes were as tender and loving as water. He knew that this person had changed since he was with him, and sometimes some unconscious actions would always make him feel distressed.
She has been hiding herself under a cold and hard coat, seemingly gentle but not letting anyone approach her. Now, it's enough to have him with her, and he won't let anyone else beside her.
Lin Qing has always had a clear understanding of his own thoughts. He knows that even if this person is by his side, his own darkness will not change, but he is willing to give all his tenderness to this person in front of him. , he knew that in some ways they were actually the same.
Gently touched her head and met the gaze she was raising. He seemed to be a little dissatisfied with his move. His brows were slightly frowned, but they relaxed in the next moment. His smiling brows were condoning him. .
Sure enough, they were the same. Fingers with delicate armor slowly held her hand. He thought, it would be nice if it was like this for a lifetime.
But things are often unexpected, and what happened soon after broke their peaceful and beautiful life and involved them in the boundless war.
A few days later, there was an emergency report at the border. After the Huns had even conquered the two cities of Daliang and withdrew, they again invaded the two cities every few days, and sent troops and horses to the cities, with unknown intentions!
Although the intention is unclear, it is already very clear. If you don't want to use this as a basis to attack the Central Plains, you want to permanently turn those two places into the territory of the Xiongnu and become a foothold for the grassland people and horses.
The situation was urgent, and General Pingxi asked the court to send more troops to defend against the attack of the Huns, because if the Huns really wanted to rebel, they only needed to go down two cities, and their blades could threaten the capital! At that time, the inner belly of Liangliang is empty, and it is not impossible for them to come under Liangjing's capital!
When Emperor Jing Hui heard the news, he fainted because he was too excited. The ministers were shocked. Isn't this adding fuel to the fire? At this juncture, Emperor Jing Hui must not have any more mistakes.
Hearing this news, Situ Yaohua and Lin Xiang were the first to arrive at Emperor Jing Hui's bedside, and they didn't know what to say. The next day, Emperor Jing Hui gave a message that surprised everyone but secretly applauded. Holy decree.
Emperor Jing Hui ordered Lin Qing to join forces with Situ Yuanxiao and Chen Jing, the son of General Pingxi, to go to Shangliang City to defend against the Xiongnu, and together with the army of 100,000 people gathered from various prefectures, went north together.
Eunuchs are slaves of the emperor's family, and the emperor of Daliang has always had the habit of sending eunuchs to supervise the army, because no one can trust them, and the military power can easily arouse the sensitive nerves of the emperor, so only the most trusted ministers around him are sent over. , they can rest assured.
Because these people have no descendants, they cannot threaten their positions, and these ministers can only honor people by relying on them, so they can trust these people.
So the ministers were not surprised to hear this news, and it would be great if they could take this opportunity to get rid of their thorns.
After hearing the news, Lin Qing stayed for a long time, with a strange smile on his face. After Situ Yaohua and Lin Xiang, he entered the palace of Emperor Jing Hui again, and after coming out, Emperor Jing Hui issued another imperial decree. , and this decree surprised everyone.
Under the imperial decree, Situ Jinkang, Situ Wenrui, and Situ Yuanxiao were appointed king. After the new year, the princes will go to various places to manage their fiefs, and they cannot enter the capital without calling.
It's messed up, it's all messed up.
The power of the princes who were fighting for the throne in the court was so chaotic that they would not be able to become an army. If the princes were no longer in the capital, how would they fight for the position of the great treasure? In all likelihood, they could only die in their own fiefdoms.
Everyone thought that Lin Qing was driven crazy. I don't know how he bewitched Emperor Jing Hui, but he made all these princes become kings, and he was in the same camp as Situ Wenrui. What is it
But this is also excusable. When he was sent to a place to fight the Xiongnu, whether he could win or not would be a problem, even if he could save his life, what should he care about? What's more, Situ Wenrui has never helped him.
Moreover, aside from the issue of the Xiongnu, if he, a eunuch, went to such a remote place, how would he handle himself in such a place where the military and government were self-contained? Emperor Tiangao is far away, who would buy his account from a place like Emperor Jing Hui's favor
Besides, how could the civil and military officials in the DPRK miss this excellent opportunity to get rid of him? As long as you give Lin Qing a little stumbling, you may be able to keep him at the border forever, and in such a place, there is no need for a reason to die alone.
When Lin Qing's sedan chair returned to Qiansui Mansion, Zhao Zimu had already been waiting at the front door. He was dressed in white and had a light smile on his face. He looked calmly at the figure who walked out of the sedan chair calmly.
Silently walked over to the woman at the door, but walked past her as if he hadn't seen her, Zhao Zimu's eyes darkened the moment he passed.
That night, Lin Qing shut Zhao Zimu out of the door, and he didn't let anyone in even though she was at the door.
Lin Qing was struggling in his heart. He probably wouldn't be able to come back once he left. He didn't want her to die with her.
A place as dangerous as the border is full of war and blood, and the officials in those places will probably set up all kinds of conspiracies for him. good chance of life.
There are dangers and tricks everywhere, he can't even protect himself, how can he protect her well
Lin Qing thought about it all night inside the door, full of entanglements and worries, but the people outside the door didn't stand all night. The next day, when Lin Qing opened the door, he found that there was no one outside.
In a panic, he asked Xiao Lianzi, how could Xiao Lianzi say it, because since Zhao Zimu lived in Lin Qing's house, the guard at the door automatically and consciously moved the place of Wu Shou a little further away. Now how can they answer the question, not to mention that they can't find out if they want to get rid of them with Madam's ability.
Lin Qing was silent for a moment, then clenched his fists and whispered, "Yueyi!"
Yue appeared in front of Lin Qing in an instant and bowed his head respectfully. After Zhao Zimu had trained them, they became Lin Qing's exclusive secret guards. For Lin Qing's safety, they usually hid in the dark and would not show up easily. In front of people, and after having them, Jiayi and Jiaer were also sent back to the investigation house.
"Where's the madam..."
Yueyi was silent for a moment, Lin Qing panicked, looked at him sharply and said, "Speak!"
"Bing Qiansui, madam... is out of the house." Yue Yi lowered his head and said, obviously they had been secretly following Lin Qing and they knew exactly what had happened these days, and Zhao Zimu was out of the house at this time, it was easy to think of bad matter.
After a moment of silence, Lin Qing suddenly said with a grim expression: "Find it! Find it for me!"
at all costs!
Frightened by the fierce light in Lin Qing's eyes, Yue Yi immediately led the order and disappeared as if flying. It seems that if they can't find Mrs.
After Yueyi left, Lin Qing ordered Linger to be imprisoned again. At the same time, the spies from the Ministry of Justice watched closely all the movements of Fengya Pavilion and secretly searched for Zhao Zimu in the capital city.
After doing all this, Lin Qing sat wearily on the steps of his own door, with his hands on his knees and his head buried in it.
His Majesty gave him three days to prepare, and he handed over everything in the Sili Supervisor to Wang Yue and Lin Jiu. So he doesn't need to go to the supervisor for the past few days. That person doesn't know where he went, so he has to wait here for her to come back.
No one dared to approach Lin Qing, he sat alone on the cold stone steps, his figure was quiet and cool. And Xiao Lianzi stayed not far from him, daring not to get too close or to leave, and only hoped that Zhao Zimu would come back soon.
Although the outside world has always heard how vicious and vicious Lord Chitose is, those of them who work under his hands know that Master Chitose has always been very kind to the people under him, and will not treat or oppress them, let alone allow others. Bullying them, one person will take care of the two big yamen in an orderly manner, so everyone under his command obeys him and is loyal to him.
The outside world has spread them so unbearably, but how many things have they done to bring disaster to the country and the people? The targets they attacked were those officials who were hypocritical, righteous, and moralistic officials, so why did they really care about those high-ranking little people
Seeing Lin Qing like this now, Xiao Lianzi is also very sad, and she only hopes that Zhao Zimu will come back soon.
