Out of Jinglan Palace, Lin Mo explained to Lian Xiang and Lian Yue and asked them to go to Liuyu Xiaozhu, when Qiu Ning left before, Lin Mo had already explained, as long as the two of them went, he would accept them.

Then, Lin Mo didn't have any stay and led the wind and Qiu Yun to the outside of the palace, after the trouble just now, now there is no sleepiness at all, so there is no need to go to Liuyu Xiaozhu anymore.

"I forgot to ask about that secret recipe again. ”

Wu sighed to himself, and Lin Mo walked towards the outside of the palace.

On the way out of the palace, Lin Mo couldn't help but think of the last words that Zheng Errong said to herself, which was like a confession, and couldn't help but feel a little entangled in her heart, although she couldn't have anything with her, should she help her and let her live better?

Although Zheng Errong is a woman with strong desires, in the final analysis, she is also a victim of the power struggle of this empire, in this era, women are destined to only rely on power and power.

After thinking about it for a long time, Lin Mo didn't get an answer, now Zheng Errong has been put on the chess game of the world by someone, and now if he wants to break the game, he can only eat Zheng Errong's white seed.

Once this white seed is eaten, then Zheng Errong has only one fate, and that is death, how many black hands do he have to arrange to eat this white seed? Lin Mo began to struggle in his heart.

But if he didn't want to move the life of Zheng Errong, Lin Mo didn't know how many sunspots he would waste, and how long would he delay the end of this game, would it really be worth it?

"It's really a thought of life and a thought of death!" After sighing for no reason, Lin Mo tightened the snow cloak on his body, reached out to catch a snowflake, and let it melt in the palm of his hand.

Lin Mo was sure that he didn't have any thoughts about Zheng Errong, not at all, speaking of which Zheng Errong was also good-looking, but Lin Mo was not interested in her, on the contrary, he was slightly jealous.

But I don't know where this jealousy comes from, but Lin Mo feels that Zheng Errong is like a knife, a bone scraper, once he holds this knife, this knife will eat the master.

"It's getting more and more interesting. Lin Mo smiled faintly in his heart: "Since you all want to be the chess players in this game of chess in the world, then let's have a good time." ”

After a faint smile, Lin Mo raised his feet and walked up a corridor, and when he was halfway there, he saw an old man with gray hair standing inside, holding a whisk in his hand.

It was the chief eunuch, Gao Yue.

Seeing that Gao Yue was about to salute, Lin Mo hurriedly supported his bent figure and asked: "Father-in-law Gao doesn't need to be polite, it's a cold day, why are you standing here in the old man?" ”

Gao Yue had a kind smile on his face, and said kindly: "Lord Shangqing, Your Majesty wants to see you, and ask the old slave to take you to the Food Restaurant, saying that he will have lunch with you." ”

Lin Mo looked at the approximate hour, and it was not more than two quarters of an hour after noon, so he nodded: "It's okay, Ziyong happens to be hungry too, and he is tired of Father-in-law Gao leading the way." ”

Following Gao Yue's nine bends and eighteen bends, he walked for about a quarter of an hour before he arrived outside the food restaurant, and after arriving, Gao Yue led the wind and Qiuyun to the pavilion called "Wei Shi Xuan" next door to eat.

In front of the food shop, Gai Chen, the commander of the forbidden army, stood upright, his eyes were blazing, and his figure was burly, full of masculinity, like a general of a hundred battles.

After a slight glance at Gai Chen, Lin Mo went up to the second floor of the food hall under the leadership of a palace lady, and when he went up to the second floor, Lin Mo saw that in addition to Emperor Daqian and Emperor Daqian, there was also a person who was quite familiar.

After saluting Emperor Daqian and Emperor Daqian, Lin Mo walked up to the man and sat down, and said suspiciously: "Sorrow, why did you enter the palace and when did you come?"

That person was Lin Mo's fourth lady, the eldest grandson Yuyin.

"It was the palace that brought the sorrow into the palace. Empress Daqian replied to Lin Mo's words: "I haven't seen her these days, and this palace misses me very much, so I want to bring her in, and our family will have a good meal." ”

Seeing the arrival of her own family, the eldest grandson of Roujia, who was the eldest princess of the Daqian Empire, said softly for Lin Mo: "Husband, Your Majesty and the Queen Mother hope that our family will have a good reunion before the end of the year." ”

Lin Mo smiled slightly, and enjoyed the food on this table.

Just when Lin Mo was eating happily, Emperor Daqian suddenly raised a glass of wine and said: "Ziyong, I can't stand you today, you led the troops to raid the Guixiang Tower, but I couldn't reward you with anything, this glass of wine should be my reparation for you." ”

After that, Emperor Daqian drank all the wine in the cup.

Lin Mo also hurriedly picked up the wine that the eldest grandson had poured for himself and drank it all, and said with a sincere smile: "Your Majesty, you are serious, you and I are a family, you are the minister's brother-in-law, and the minister should do things for you, how can you ask for any reward." ”

Emperor Daqian said with emotion: "Ziyong, having said that, you and I are like a family, but after all, you and I have made such great contributions, and I have even rewarded Ji Qian, but it is ...... I'm so ashamed. ”

Lin Mo shook his head and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, it is said that the minister should be ashamed, the minister is a first-class secretary of the great cadre, but he is perfunctory about the affairs of the early dynasty, and there is always a vacancy, you always tolerate the minister, and the minister is grateful." ”

At this time, Empress Daqian raised a glass of wine and spoke.

"Ziyong, this palace and Your Majesty know that your nature is to love freedom, and it is the fault of this palace and Your Majesty to confine you in the court, but I can only rely on you, this glass of wine, this palace thank you. ”

After speaking, Emperor Daqian's sleeve robe covered his face and drank all the wine in the cup.

Lin Mo naturally drank another cup, and this time, the eldest grandson Yuyin also drank a cup with him.

After drinking the wine, the eldest grandson said worriedly: "Queen Mother, don't say that, my husband often says to his courtiers these days that he is used to being free and lazy, but fortunately you and Your Majesty are tolerant." ”

Empress Daqian smiled slightly: "Sorrowful, look at you, I am your sister, what is the name of the queen mother and you, so that you and my sisters are called Sheng, although you are already the Lin family, but you and I have always been close sisters, in the future, we will still be called sisters." ”

"Yes, sister, it's the sound of sorrow that is wrong, and the sorrow of the sound will punish itself. The eldest grandson covered his face with his robe and drank a glass of wine, which was regarded as punishment for his misname.

After the eldest grandson finished drinking, Empress Daqian asked: "By the way, Youyin, you haven't been back to Lanzhou to visit your father and mother for many years, have you ever planned to go back after this New Year?"

The eldest grandson said worriedly: "Sister, my husband said that I will go to Lanzhou to visit my father and mother after the New Year." ”

Speaking of his father and mother, a trace of sadness appeared on the face of the eldest grandson, and his mood was a little low, Lin Mo naturally noticed it, but he could only secretly take her hand and comfort her.

Before the wedding with the eldest grandson, Lin Mo sent Mo Wei to Shen Guolan Prefecture to send a wedding card to the eldest grandson's family, but no one from the eldest grandson family came on the wedding day.

Not only that, but not even a congratulatory gift.

Emperor Daqian naturally noticed the change in the mood of the eldest grandson Sorrow, and knew what the reason was, so he immediately sighed in a low voice and comforted: "Sorrow, you and Ziyong are married, and there is no one in the family, there must be something to worry about." ”

"yes, melancholy. Emperor Daqian also said: "Worry, you don't have to be so sad, your eldest grandson family must be very happy when they hear that you and Ziyong are married, no, there must be something unspeakable." ”

"Yes, I understand. ”

It's also ridiculous to say, the eldest grandson Youyin was originally the third-grade Jieyu of Emperor Daqian, and Emperor Daqian never paid attention to her, but now she has become the eldest princess of Roujia, the fourth lady of Lin Mo, and her own sister-in-law.

Of course it's ridiculous!

After eating almost a lunch, Emperor Daqian led the eldest grandson Yuyin down to the food pavilion, found a place, and the two talked about the private words between the sisters, and only Lin Mo and Emperor Daqian were left in the pavilion, as well as a few palace eunuchs who served.

Waving off the eunuch Gong'e, Emperor Daqian talked to Lin Mo about business.

"Ziyong, today I want to take the opportunity to expand the security camp above the early dynasty, why do you speak out against it? Do you know that once the security camp is expanded to 50,000 and combined with the 80,000 forbidden army, Danzhou can be defended. ”

Ji Qian's promotion to the rank of general of the third grade and the expansion of the security battalion to 50,000 people is a justifiable thing, and no one can refute it for any reason, and Emperor Daqian does not understand why Lin Mo will be the first to stand up against it.

Emperor Daqian thought that once he had an army of 130,000, he would not only be able to suppress the two parties of Ronghou, but also defend Danzhou, even if the million-strong army of the two parties of Ronghou besieged the imperial capital, the imperial capital would not be easily captured.

Hearing that Emperor Daqian finally asked this question, Lin Mo knew that the reunion family banquet was just an excuse, and Emperor Daqian's real purpose was to ask himself why he was going against him.

He thought he had understood.

Lin Mo saluted and asked, "Back to Your Majesty, can you really guarantee that your forbidden army is an iron bucket, and has not been infiltrated by the people of the two parties of Ronghou, and there are no people from them in it?"

Emperor Daqian was stunned by Lin Mo's question.

Seeing that Emperor Daqian was stunned for a moment, Lin Mo said again: "Furthermore, Your Majesty, if the security battalion is expanded to 50,000 people, it will be an army of 50,000, and then the two parties will definitely attack the security battalion, how can Ji Qian continue to be neutral?"

Now Ji Qian is neutral on the surface, but he actually took refuge in Lin Mo, if once the security battalion is expanded to 50,000 people, Lin Mo does not have any real power in Daqian now, and he is not sure that he can control Ji Qian, the general of the three grades of Germany.

As soon as Lin Mo's second sentence came out, Emperor Daqian's face became complicated, Lin Mo knew that he could no longer take advantage of the situation to pursue, and he should give Emperor Daqian a perfect step down.

Lin Mo saluted again: "Your Majesty, the minister knows your mood, but the minister is in the same mood as you, but this matter is not urgent, but please rest assured, within three months after the New Year, the minister will give you another heavy gift." ”

Emperor Daqian was immediately overjoyed, and said calmly: "It seems that I am really anxious, fortunately I have Ziyong here, otherwise I would have made a mistake, then okay, I will wait for your heavy gift." ”

Saying that, Emperor Daqian suddenly thought about something again, and said: "By the way, Ziyong, you are going to Shenguo Lanzhou after the New Year, don't forget to help me do that thing, that matter is related to my Daqian's foundation for hundreds of years." ”

"Yes, the minister will live up to His Majesty's trust!"
