Chapter Twenty-Nine: Coercion?

Li Jin wasn't sure what she heard, so she subconsciously asked, "Niangniang said she wanted me to help?"

"Hmm. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info" Concubine Jing still smiled at Li Jin with that harmless expression, her eyes full of hope.

Li Jin's mind was a little confused, remembering that Concubine Jing had avoided talking about the topic she had brought up just now, and now she took the initiative to ask for her help.

'Is this an exchange with himself?' Li Jin thought to himself.

"I don't know what Li Jin can help Niangniang?" For Li Jin, now he can only come to cover the water and cover the earth.

"Actually, you're helping yourself, too. Concubine Jing smiled even sweeter.

Li Jin instinctively felt the danger, and unconsciously moved away from the table and leaned out.

"Oh, and ask the mother to solve my doubts. Li Jin said respectfully.

"Recently, I heard that the emperor was worried about the heavy snow outside, and the soldiers at the border gate lacked food and clothing, not to mention, and the homesickness was even heavier. Saying that, Concubine Jing's eyes seemed to inadvertently sweep over Li Jin's cheeks.

Seeing that Li Jin didn't have any special expression, he then said: "Although there was a military system in the previous dynasty, I heard Your Majesty say that most of the people guarding the border now are young soldiers, and most of them rushed to the border before they got married. Although the situation at the border is gradually stabilizing, this heavy snow is afraid that it will affect morale. ”

Li Jin was very confused about Concubine Jing's words, where could he help with such a military event. And even Concubine Jing can't meddle in such court affairs, let alone herself. So what does Concubine Jing want to help herself, does it have anything to do with her father? It's just that her father is just a small waiter in the Ministry of Industry, and he is not in the household department, and the Ministry of War is in charge of money and food, so what can he help?

For a while, thousands of years of head crossed Li Jin's mind, but none of them could make her find Concubine Jing's intentions.

Despite this, Li Jin still maintained a superficial composure and sat opposite Concubine Jing, waiting for her next step.

"Actually, if this matter weren't for Jin'er, it would definitely not be able to satisfy Your Majesty. It seems that in order to let Li Jin relax her vigilance, or to make it easier for her to accept her request, Concubine Jing did not hesitate to praise Li Jin and highlight her importance.

"It's good to say it directly. Li Jin felt that her spirit was a little too tense, and she seemed to be a little anxious about Concubine Jing's unhurried gossip.

"Although it is difficult to raise grain and grass and clothing for a while, even if there is enough money and grain here in Jingshi, it will take time to transport it to Saibei, but the edict is different, and it can be sent to the frontier within a few days. Concubine Jing told the story.

Li Jin's intuition is getting worse and worse.

"So I think, Your Majesty, for the heart of the army, for the meritorious soldiers of the right age in the frontier to choose a mate in the whole city. I think it is also a great joy for the guards at the border to be able to settle down, and it will naturally boost morale. But this is not a trivial matter, you must know that everything needs an example. And Jin'er's background is not low and it is related to the royal family, if she can take the initiative to ask Ying, this matter will be a matter of course. ”

Li Jin never expected such a thing, he was already dumbfounded when he heard half of it, and in the end, when he heard that he was going to be the leader himself, he was so angry that he was almost speechless.

This Concubine Jing clearly wants to use the second half of her Li Jin's life in exchange for the name of her Concubine Jing's righteousness for the country. But what about his parents in Beijing, Li Jin hated it so much that the roots of his teeth itched. It's just that before Li Jin could react, Concubine Jing continued.

"Jin'er may not know that when the general entered Beijing a few days ago, His Majesty used the Imperial Forest Army to empty all the three streets near Donghua Gate, and then except for some secret spies, those three streets were empty. Your Majesty once told me worriedly that you had entered the city with the general from outside the city, and had a private conversation on the way. Concubine Jing said and looked at Li Jin's increasingly pale face.

"Actually, if it weren't for the fact that the general had been stationed outside the city for a long time, and if the general had contacts with everyone in the court, it would be nothing for you to enter the city with the general. It's just that the generals who haven't returned for many years have only had contact with you when they return to the court, and it's too much of a coincidence that you can appear there on the streets that have been carefully cleaned. ”

Hearing this, Li Jin secretly gritted his teeth, how did he know that he was so "lucky", if he had been out for a while at that time, or if he stepped forward to ask the two people on the other side of the mountain, he would not have the situation he is in now.

"Now the situation is delicate, so Your Majesty is only secretly observing your every move, but if it is not good, the situation changes, aren't you the first to suffer?" Concubine Jing saw that Li Jin's eyes were shaken, and immediately added fire.

"And Lord Li must also be implicated in this, will he inevitably get a disaster of destruction in the end?"

Seeing that the fire was almost over, Concubine Jing continued: "Because you are the goddaughter I recognize, when I heard that Your Majesty was worried that the Li Mansion had bad intentions, I was persuading Your Majesty." At this time, thinking of this idea will not only share the worries of His Majesty, but also an opportunity for you to redeem your merits. Moreover, if you take the initiative to marry a lieutenant general of the Northern Army, although you marry into the army, it is not related to the general, which will save Your Majesty from suspicion that the general is colluding with the court officials, and also avoid the source of Lord Li's suspicion of His Majesty. ”

Hearing this, Li Jin's expression moved, but the corners of his eyes were indignant, but the corners of his mouth couldn't help but set off a mocking arc and said: "Concubine Jing doesn't need to be so alarmist, I don't think I've done anything suspicious." If Concubine Jing wants me to earn this opportunity to show great virtue and righteousness for you, how can you ensure that your father will not be dragged down by this matter again. ”

Concubine Jing didn't expect Li Jin to react like this, and she was stunned for a moment before she smiled and said, "Okay Jin'er, where do I want to earn a reputation for myself, but if you have to think so, let it be." Concubine Jing sighed helplessly and continued.

"Jin'er thinks about it carefully, everyone in the court knows that Master Li loves his daughter very much, where is he willing to marry you far away from the frontier. And if Jin'er agrees, I will guarantee it, and Jin'er can also work for Your Majesty, and hand over the secret letter of the border situation to Your Majesty, so that you can naturally gain Your Majesty's trust, where will you suspect that Lord Li has the intention of rebellion. And if you can set an example and marry in the army, I will persuade Your Majesty to recall you and your husband when you take the turn in three years, so that Master Li and I will not miss your hard work, and second, it will also save the Li family from being suspected. ”

The mocking smile on the corner of Li Jin's mouth was even stronger: "Concubine Jing Niangniang sees that I don't go out often, when I am a child?"

Concubine Jing looked at Li Jin puzzled and didn't respond.

"If Your Majesty suspects that my father is suspected of colluding with the general, it will be even more difficult for me to get out of the army when I marry him, and then even if I exchange letters in ordinary times, I will be charged with treason, where can I wait for three years? And if you inquire about the news in the army, I am afraid that the general will be the first to treat me as a meticulous work and rectify the Fa on the spot, where can I be allowed for three years? What kind of calculation is Concubine Jing Niangniang, just say it directly. ”

At this time, Li Jin looked at Concubine Jing with anger in her eyes.

Concubine Jing was speechless for a while, and only looked at Li Jin fixedly.
