As Lin Mo's frightened voice fell, an elegant and elegant beautiful woman hurriedly walked in with a bowl of ginger soup, put the ginger soup on it, sat on the edge of the bed and said with concern: "Husband, what's wrong, I'm having a nightmare." ”

After looking at the hour, it was only about two o'clock (5:30), and the hour was still early, so Lin Mo took the opportunity to pill his head in Bai Zhilan's arms and nodded lightly: "Yes, I dreamed of my father and mother again, and it was that bloody night again!"

Hearing this, Bai Zhilan's face was full of distress, but she didn't know what to say to comfort her, so she had to pick up the ginger soup and said gently: "Husband, drink the ginger soup, tonight is the day of you and Sister Sorrow's cave room, don't get the cold." ”

Drinking a sip of the ginger soup sent by Bai Zhilan with a spoon, Lin Mo said: "Zhilan, why am I in your room, do I remember that I am not bathing in the bath?"

Bai Zhilan explained: "It was Ruoshui who found it, and at 4:00 a.m., Ruoshui found that her husband was asleep in the bathroom and no one cared, so she sent her husband to the concubine, and the concubine went to boil ginger soup for her husband. ”

"I see. Lin Mo nodded and smiled, got up and drank all the ginger soup in Bai Zhilan's hand in one go, and then hugged Bai Zhilan into his arms, and was warm and tired.

After getting tired of being crooked for about two quarters of an hour, Lin Mo put on the crown dress under Bai Zhilan's service, and after letting Bai Zhilan sleep, Lin Mo turned around and walked out of the room.

When he came to the house, Lin Mo saw that the servants were decorating the house, preparing for the cave room at night, pasting the words Xi, pasting red couplets, and hanging red belts, which can be described as very busy.

Like about halfway through the front yard, Lin Mo saw Liu Ruoshui and Xiao Wan and He Yun'er busy, and the three girls saw Lin Mo hurriedly bowing and saluting, and said respectfully: "Good adults." ”

Lin Mo nodded in response, beckoned Liu Ruoshui to step forward, saw that her eyes were a little dark, picked up her delicate chin, and said, "What's the matter? I didn't sleep last night? ”

"Well, last night the maid had insomnia in the middle of the night, so I wanted to walk around the house. Liu Ruoshui nodded lightly, and the jade cheeks were suddenly covered with a shy flush.

Liu Ruoshui had long been accustomed to Lin Mo provoking his chin like this, but now it was in front of so many servants, and it was the first time that shame surged madly into his heart and cheeks for a while.

"Insomnia?" Lin Mo pondered for a moment, and said with a playful smile: "Are you worried about what happened to Lord Ben last night?" ”

As soon as Lin Mo said this, Liu Ruoshui's jade cheeks turned even redder, because Linong was completely right, Liu Ruoshui was worried that something would happen to Lin Mo last night, so he couldn't sleep.

Holding back the shame in her heart, Liu Ruoshui said prettyly: "Yes, the maid knows!"

"It's good to know, since you didn't sleep last night, you can rest for a day today!" Lin Mo nodded, let go of the hand holding Liu Ruoshui, and continued to walk outside the mansion gate.

Seeing Lin Mo slowly leaving, Liu Ruoshui was still standing in place with a shy face, and Xiao Wan said in a low voice: "Yun'er, let me say it, adults also love Sister Ruoshui very much!"

He Yun'er also nodded and said: "Well, Yun'er can also see that Sister Ruoshui not only has a lot of jewelry, but also wears the same clothes as us, like half a lady, just a separate boudoir." ”

Indeed, He Yun'er, Xiaowan and Ding Bo's clothes are mainly silk or cloth, but Liu Ruoshui's dresses are mostly more luxurious silk brocade.

Of course, Lin Mo did this for a purpose, Liu Ruoshui was sent by the Queen Mother, but in fact, he was a person sent by King Rong, so he should be treated differently, so that they, at least King Rong, felt that he was different from Liu Ruoshui.

Listening to He Yun'er and Xiao Wan's low discussions, and feeling the envy and jealousy of the other servants, Liu Ruoshui felt unwell, so she ran back to her house.

Lin Mo came to the front yard, saw that the housekeeper Ding Bo was busy with his work, beckoned him, and ordered: "Ding Bo, when the ladies get up, you go and talk to them, arrange a separate room for Liu Ruoshui, but don't arrange for Yahuan to serve, you know?"

"Yes, the old slave understands!" Although Ding Bo didn't know the deep meaning of Lin Mo's words and such an arrangement, he didn't dare to disobey Lin Mo's orders, so he had to do it.

After instructing Ding Bo, Lin Moxin walked out of the house, boarded the four horses and silver horses, and under the escort of Xifeng and Qiu Yun, he swung towards the Taiji Temple of the government.

When the four horses and silver horses drove quickly to the Qingwu Heavy Gate, Lin Mo found that thousands of people were surrounding the door, and they were all shouting slogans such as "Kill the wicked Li Tai".

The four horses and silver horses couldn't get in, so Lin Mo had to abandon the car, walk through the angry crowd, and continue to walk towards the Taiji Temple.

Half an hour later, inside the Tai Chi Temple.

"Boom-"

After reading the pile of twists and turns in front of him, Emperor Daqian slammed his fist on the imperial case in front of him, and scolded angrily: "Li Tai, that damn thing, actually killed hundreds of innocent women. ”

As he spoke, he looked at the courtiers again, and said indignantly: "You have all heard it, and you have heard the angry voices of the people outside the Qingwu Heavy Gate, it is the people's grievances, Li Tai's bastard." ”

After scolding angrily, Da Qian stabilized his angry mind again, and asked the courtiers as calmly as possible: "Everyone, let's talk about it, what crime should Li Tai deal with?"

Lin Mo stood in front of the left side, looked at the angry appearance of Emperor Daqian, and laughed secretly in his heart: This play is really good, I guess my heart is happy!

But at the same time, Lin Mo is also sad in his heart, in the fifteen years since Li Tai committed the crime, Lin Mo has let the night person investigate clearly, a total of more than 200 women have suffered!

At this moment, Lin Mo did not bring down Li Tai, and Li Tai did not do so many evil things, and the more than 200 women did not die, they were all alive and well.

Just as Lin Mo was secretly feeling sorry for those innocent women, Xuanyuan, who had a gloomy face, broke out of the queue and bowed to Emperor Daqian: "Back to Your Majesty, Li Tai has committed such a serious crime, and the minister thinks that he should be punished by the Nine Clans and take back his military power." ”

As soon as Xuanyuan's words came out, the audience was shocked, including Lin Mo, Lin Mo didn't expect that Xuanyuan and the Empress Dowager Xuanshu would be so ruthless, and seeing that the matter was irreparable, he simply abandoned Li Tai's waste chess.

After hearing this, Emperor Daqian was silent for a while, and then asked the rest of the courtiers: "What do the Qing family think of Xuanqing's suggestion?"

"Brother Chen seconded the proposal, this Li Tai has mutilated so many lives, he should be punished heavily!" King Rong was the first to speak.

The Rong Dynasty's dynasty also immediately followed his master and said, "The ministers also seconded it." ”

The ministers also seconded. "This time it was the courtiers of the Hou Party who spoke, just as Lin Mo thought, they had already agreed to abandon Li Tai's waste chess.

"The minister is against!"

At this moment, Lin Mo suddenly stood up and made a different sound, which immediately attracted the attention of people from both parties to focus on him, not knowing what kind of medicine was sold in Lin Mo's gourd.

Seeing that it was Lin Mo who spoke, and was about to promise the courtiers, Emperor Daqian, swallowed back his words and asked, "Why is Lin Qing opposed?"

Lin Mo said: "Your Majesty, although Li Tai has committed a serious crime, after all, as an important minister of the imperial court, he has made great achievements for the stability of my great cadres, punished his nine clans, and killed too much, I am afraid it will chill the hearts of people in the world!"

Li Tai's family is the Daqianjiang Prefecture Wang clan, if it is really the nine clans of Li Tai, Lin Mo believes that it will not be a few hundred deaths, but tens of thousands of deaths.

This kind of killing is something Lin Mo can't bear to see!

Hearing Lin Mo's sincere words, Emperor Daqian's secretly excited heart calmed down, and he also understood the truth, so he said, "What does Lin Qing mean?"

Lin Mo gave a salute and said respectfully: "Returning to Your Majesty, the minister thinks that only the men over the age of eight in the Li Tai Mansion should be killed as a prestige, and as for the female dependents in the mansion and the men under the age of eight, they can all be confiscated into slavery and exiled to the frontier." ”

After listening to Lin Mo's words, Emperor Daqian hesitated for a moment, and then asked the opinions of the courtiers: "What do you think of Lin Qing's suggestion?"

"Brother Chen thinks it's excellent!"

As soon as Emperor Daqian's words fell, King Rong stood up and gave Lin Mo the greatest support, King Rong expressed his position, and the courtiers of the Rong Party naturally supported it.

"What does Xuanqing think?" asked Emperor Daqian.

The minister agreed with Lin Shangqing's suggestion. With Xuanyuan's statement, the courtiers of the Hou Party followed suit: "The ministers also agree." ”

"Smack-"

Emperor Daqian slapped the imperial case on the court, and said: "Okay, since this is the case, then at noon today, Li Tai and the men over the age of eight in the Shan Guo Mansion will be beheaded in the suburban execution ground, and the rest of the men and female dependents will be exiled to the northern frontier tomorrow." ”

"The ministers obey the order!" all the courtiers said in unison.

After the words of the courtiers fell, and Zhuo Ping, the Qing of Dali Temple, was determined to be the supervisor and beheader, Li Tai spoke again.

"Your Majesty, since Li Tai's matter has been concluded, the minister thinks that the top priority is to discuss the choice to take over the commander of Li Tai's 300,000 army, and the three armies cannot be without a commander for a day. ”

came, Lin Mo knew that this was the real issue today.

"What does Xuanqing mean?" asked Emperor Daqian.

Xuanyuan gave a salute and said: "In the humble opinion of the minister, the 240,000 troops of Yang, Wen, Ming, and Zhangzhou under the criminal minister Li Tai can be commanded by his deputy marshal Zhao Lin. ”

"As for the 60,000 Jiangzhou army directly led by Li Tai, it can be led by Xue Xu, the Duke of Jieguo, and the Duke of Jieguo has a good way of governing the army. ”

Listening to Li Tai's words, Lin Mo couldn't help but secretly give him a thumbs up, ruthless and decisive enough, the 60,000 army said no, don't want it.

As for how Xuanyuan dealt with Kenshe Jiangzhou, Lin Mo guessed that it was estimated that King Rong adopted the advice he gave him, and privately sent someone to negotiate with Xuanyuan.

Lin Mo thought for a while, and said with some doubts: "Oh, I seem to have heard that Li Tai secretly transferred 10,000 soldiers and horses back, and they were also guarded by the security battalion, and now there are only 50,000 troops in Jiangzhou, right?"

As he spoke, Emperor Daqian deliberately pretended to be stupid and said, "Are we going to send those 10,000 soldiers and horses back to Jiangzhou and return them to Duke Xie Guogong for processing?"

"The younger brother thinks no. King Rong stood up: "If you are escorted to Jiangzhou, on the way, there will be deserters among the 10,000 soldiers and horses." ”

Emperor Daqian was puzzled and said, "What does the imperial brother mean?"

King Rong saluted, and said seriously and solemnly: "The security battalion guards the four gates, and is responsible for the security of the city, but there are only 10,000 soldiers and horses, according to the humble opinion of the minister, why not put the 10,000 soldiers and horses into the security battalion and strengthen the strength of the security battalion?"

This King Rong, the abacus is clanging, Lin Mo secretly thought in his heart, now that Ji Qian will have 20,000 soldiers and horses, it is estimated that this King Rong is going to win over Ji Qian.

Emperor Daqian thought for a while, and reluctantly said: "Okay, I will allow the emperor's brother to play, and organize the 10,000 soldiers and horses into the security camp to consolidate the security of our imperial capital." ”

"Your Majesty is wise!" all the courtiers shouted in unison.

This situation is also what Xuanyuan is happy to see, and the 60,000 soldiers and horses in Jiangzhou have not all fallen into the hands of King Rong, which is good news for Xuanyuan and Empress Dowager Xuanshu.

After the courtiers finished calling, and handed over the raid to King Rong, Emperor Daqian signaled Gao Yue with his eyes, Gao Yue understood, and immediately opened his throat and shouted: "There is a book to play, and there is no book to retreat." ”

The air was silent for a while, and when they saw that no one was playing, the courtiers immediately saluted and said, "Congratulations to Your Majesty, long live my emperor, long live, long live." ”

Accompanied by the neat and loud voices of the courtiers, Emperor Daqian led Gao Yue away from the side hall, and after the figures of the two disappeared, Lin Mo and other courtiers naturally slowly withdrew from the Taiji Temple.

Outside the Tai Chi Temple.

King Rong walked up to Lin Mo with a smile on his face, and said happily: "It's all arranged by Lin Shangqing, last night this king only took Jiangzhou's meaning overnight, and sent someone to relay it to Xuanyuan and Xuanshu, and Xuanyuan Xuanshu immediately agreed." ”

"Of course they have to agree, otherwise they will lose even more. Lin Mo replied with a smile, and at this moment, Xuanyuan walked out of the hall.

Seeing King Rong and Lin Mo smiling, Xuanyuan snorted angrily, "Don't be too happy", and then led the courtiers of the Hou Party to walk away.

Looking at Xuanyuan, who left angrily, Lin Mo reminded King Rong: "Your Royal Highness King Rong, after this incident, the two parties will be completely hostile, and there is no possibility of easing. ”

His Royal Highness King Rong laughed and said: "What is this king afraid of, he always has to tear his face, if they want to retaliate, come here, this king wants to see what Xuanyuan and Xuanshu can toss." ”

"His Royal Highness King Rong is good to have confidence. Lin Mo smiled slightly, and then added: "Your Royal Highness King Rong, your top priority now is to digest the 50,000 troops in Jiangzhou and install your own people, this matter must be grasped quickly." ”

"Lin Shangqing, don't worry, this king understands!" King Rong nodded, and wanted to continue, when he saw Gao Yue coming like Lin Moxing, and said, "Lin Shangqing is biased towards this king, and he still wants to see my imperial brother?"

Lin Mo nodded and said: "After all, it was His Majesty who invited him to come down the mountain, and the drama naturally has to be done enough, and besides, His Royal Highness King Rong, your imperial brother, will soon be your brother-in-law." ”

King Rong was stunned for a moment, and then smiled modestly: "I heard that Lin Shangqing is going to hold a wedding banquet tonight to marry the fourth lady, and this king is going to come and have a good time." ”

"At that time, I will definitely greet His Royal Highness King Rong. ”

King Rong was in a happy mood when he heard this, so he led his own party of courtiers to leave, and Gao Yue walked to Lin Mo and said, "Lin Shangqing and the old slave come, Your Majesty is waiting for you in the corridor." ”

"I'm tired of Grandpa Gao!"

Following Gao Yue to the corridor behind the Taiji Temple, Lin Mo saw that Emperor Daqian was waiting in the corridor, and hurriedly walked over, and was about to bow down, but was stopped by Emperor Daqian.

"Ziyong, there are no outsiders here, so we don't need to be polite!" Emperor Daqian hugged Lin Mo and said, "Accompany me for a while, and then go to Lan'er for a follow-up." ”

Lin Mo nodded, and the two walked slowly on the corridor, heading towards Fengyi Palace, while Gao Yue was not close or far, leading a pair of palace eunuchs to follow behind the two.

On the way, Lin Mo smiled and said, "Your Majesty is still satisfied with this heavy gift from your minister?"

Emperor Daqian was stunned for a moment, and then said with a smile: "What Ziyong said is the 10,000 soldiers and horses in Jiangzhou?"

Lin Mo nodded.

Emperor Daqian said with a little low interest: "To tell the truth, Ziyong, I am happy to get these 10,000 soldiers and horses with a holy decree, but I can't be happy when I think that King Rong already has 400,000 troops in his hands." ”

"Your Majesty, do not need to be sorrowful. Lin Mo suddenly smiled mysteriously and said, "Your Majesty, although King Rong has gained 50,000 troops this time, he will also lose 50,000 troops, but he doesn't know it yet." ”

Emperor Daqian's expression was shocked, and he said with some joy: "Why did Ziyong say this? Who did the lost 50,000 troops belong to?

Lin Mowan smiled, neither nodded nor shook his head, but just smiled and said: "Your Majesty, as the saying goes, the secret of heaven must not be leaked, and if it is leaked, it is not a heavenly machine!"

"Okay, since Ziyong is inconvenient to say now, then I won't ask!" Emperor Daqian laughed loudly, and as he was laughing, the two of them stepped on the remnant snow and marched into the inner palace.

After entering the inner palace, there were more women all of a sudden, there were palace ladies and past concubines, Emperor Daqian didn't have much interest in them, and he didn't even have a straight eye, but Lin Mo was full of interest when he saw it.

Seeing that Emperor Daqian didn't have any interest in those concubines, Lin Mo asked strangely: "Your Majesty, these concubines are all your concubines, and they are all delicate and good-looking, you really don't have any interest?"

Emperor Daqian shook his head, and said with a straight face: "I'm not interested, no matter how good-looking they are, I just want to be a couple with my Lan'er for the rest of my life." ”

Saying that, Emperor Daqian laughed and said, "Ziyong has been looking at them with undiminished interest, what's the matter, but what if you like it?"

Lin Mo arched his hand to Emperor Daqian, and said seriously: "Your Majesty, the ministers really admire you, they all say that we men like three wives and four concubines, including ministers, and you, sitting on three thousand beauties, but only love the queen alone, the minister really admires you so much!"

Emperor Daqian shook his head and said, "Ziyong doesn't know, I and Lan'er are childhood sweethearts, and I promised to be good to her since I was a child, and I should do it, and these women were just forced in by the Queen Mother and King Rong." ”

Hearing this, Lin Mo fell silent, and after walking for a while, suddenly, Lin Mo asked suspiciously: "Your Majesty, do you really dislike these beauties?"

Emperor Daqian nodded firmly, and said solemnly: "I only love Lan'er alone, and I will never meet other women again, no matter how beautiful other women are, they have nothing to do with me." ”

Lin Mo was about to speak, but he happened to see a concubine with a good face and figure, walked over, and saluted the emperor: "The concubine sees Your Majesty, please greet Your Majesty." ”

"Well, get up!" Emperor Daqian nodded, but he couldn't call her name, just looking at her palace clothes, he could vaguely guess her identity, and she should also be the fourth concubine.

This concubine is also pretty, in her early thirties, showing the richness of a mature woman, a pair of beautiful eyes are tactful, and she is also a natural beauty, a top-grade beauty with snow skin and flowers.

Lin Mo glanced at the concubine and muttered in his heart: It seems that I have seen her once somewhere, well, it seems that I have some impressions, oh, by the way, it seems that I saw it on the morning when I accompanied the eldest Sun Yuyin out of the palace, so it was the concubine.

Thinking of who the woman in front of him was, Lin Mo asked Emperor Daqian in a low voice: "Your Majesty, the minister wants to ask you a very serious matter?

Emperor Daqian was slightly stunned, and then laughed loudly: "Of course not, they have nothing to do with me, if Ziyong likes it, I will give you what you like, ......"

As Emperor Daqian was talking, he suddenly saw Lin Mo take the beautiful and lovely Concubine De into his arms, caress her delicate cheeks, and look like a soul, and said, "Tsk, what a handsome beauty!"

"Look at this face, this mature posture, this affectionate eyes, ouch, it's really fascinating, alas, put it in this deep palace, no one loves it, alas, it's a pity, it's a pity. ”
