Chapter 12 Becoming Emperor
After some investigation, no suspicious clues were found, but it was because of this that Xilin Jinqiu and the others were even more uneasy, and the enemies around them couldn't be traced with all their might, which can only show that either the enemy is too strong, or they are too incompetent. Such a conclusion, no matter which one it is, is like slapping yourself in the face.
Fortunately, the people on Dong Wentao's side are still good at doing things, and after a few days, news came that the new lord of Jinxia Country was Feng Jian Che, but he changed back to his original name: Gusu Yunfeng.
Although such a result had long been expected by himself, Xilin Jinqiu couldn't help but feel shocked when he heard this.
Feng Jian Che has already been proclaimed emperor, and it seems that next, Mrs. Honghua will attack Wu Zhuguo. They already know that Jing Ning is pretending to be Feng Jian Che and presiding over the overall situation here, then, at best, it is to force Jing Ning to show his true face, and then marry, this is the safest way, and it is also the way to hurt and lose the least, after all, Feng Jian Che and Jing Ning have feelings, so the resistance will be much less.
Or, short-handed, forcibly seize the imperial power, Mrs. Honghua's means have always been ruthless, and Jing Ning, she can't look down on it, if you want Feng Jianche's throne to be stable forever, Jing Ning, who can influence Feng Jian Che the most, is afraid that Mrs. Honghua will not stay, although this is the ending that everyone does not want to see, it is not impossible, so it is more or less necessary to be on guard.
The people and connections left by Xilin Jinchun before were beaten and scattered after the toss of "Feng Jian Che", however, the better thing is that most of them are people from the rivers and lakes and do not disdain to stay in the palace, and Xilin Jinchun is not in the court, so as soon as "Feng Jian Che" opened his mouth, they almost all left, which preserved their strength.
The embarrassing thing is that now Xilin Jinchun is dead, and it is even more difficult to recall them again, which is also where Dong Wentao and Xilin Jinqiu are worried.
Although Jing Ning is good at disguise, there is no perfect way to gain their trust. Xilin Jinqiu originally wanted to pretend to be Xilin Jinchun to gain their trust, as soon as this method came out, Dong Wentao agreed very much, but when he came to Jing Ning, who was familiar with Xilin Jinchun, he was ruthlessly suppressed: "They are all people in the rivers and lakes, well-informed, the master's temperament is very different from yours, no matter how you tempt, you will show your feet, not only that, once they lose trust in you, we want to recall them again, it will be difficult to ascend to the sky, this method has to be used, and it has to be desperate, use it now, It's self-defeating. ”
Hearing Jing Ning say this, Dong Wentao nodded clearly: "The appearance of Xilin Jinchun and Xilin Jinqiu is simply one person, there is no problem with this, but when it comes to temperament, Xilin Jinqiu and Xilin Jinchun's temperament are far apart, doing so is indeed risky, but there is no good way to do it at the moment......"
When Jing Ning heard this, he said: "Don't worry, we are just taking precautions, as for what Mrs. Honghua plans to do, we don't have any exact news yet, let's wait a few longer, if Feng Xian can bring back accurate information when he comes back in the next few days, it will be much easier for us to do it." Therefore, the most urgent thing for us at the moment is not to gather the people left by the master, but to wait for the wind strings and find a way. ”
When Xilin Jinqiu heard this, the irritability on his face couldn't help but turn into loss: "I thought that I was going to show my skills now, but I didn't expect that I would have to sit so dry, waiting for Mrs. Honghua's movement, Jing Ning, your method of static braking, if it is used on others, I don't think there is anything, but if it is used on Mrs. Honghua, I am really worried about you!" ”
"Madame Saffron is cold, and everyone knows it, but if we gather those people now, it will be nothing more than telling Madame Saffron that we are ready to fight a big battle, which will only make us more passive. Madame Saffron is a person who does not do unprepared battles, and now the real Jinxia Kingdom is in her hands, if she wants to start a war, then in terms of military preparations, she is much easier than us, and this time, we will lose the opportunity. When the time comes, if Madame Saffron makes up her mind to fight with us, the people will suffer regardless of victory or defeat, which is the last thing I want to see......"
Jing Ning's expression was gloomy, and she couldn't suppress the discomfort in her heart at the thought of the possibility of a war breaking out and hurting innocent people. When Danxiang Country was invaded, the feeling of displacement made her unforgettable, her family was ruined, and she was displaced, and this pain was deeply imprinted in her life, so that she can never erase it.
"That'...... Is there anything you can do? A word of teasing, but I didn't expect to get Jing Ning's thoughtfulness and love for the people like a son, Xilin Jinqiu suddenly felt sorry for his casualness, he originally wanted to become the Xilin Jinchun in Jing Ning's heart, but now he found that he couldn't compare with his brother at all, he didn't understand what Jing Ning really needed, and he didn't understand Jing Ning's dexterity and wisdom, he would only follow his own ideas.
When Jing Ning heard Xilin Jinqiu's words, a smile appeared on his face, and the corners of his lips were full of confidence: "If we want to avoid war, we only have to marry, and the premise of marriage is that I am the emperor of Wu Zhuguo, which is a necessary condition for success." So, it's imperative. It's just that we don't want Mrs. Honghua to be forced to force each other, I want to take the throne myself, so that we can strike first. ”
When Dong Wentao heard this, a look of approval flashed in his eyes: "No wonder whoever meets you, they are so precious, it turns out, this is your brilliance and value, before, I don't know if your appearance deceived everyone, or your acting skills deceived everyone, all in all, everyone thought you were just a vase, and now, the false emperor, the self-established king, all this, your decision, your words, and even the visible victory in sight, all made me deeply impressed......"
When Jing Ning heard this, a touch of shyness flew over her face, but when she raised her face, she still looked generous: "It's a shame that a few of you are here, otherwise, no matter how I can calculate, I still can't make it in the end, so you are the heroes!" ”
Looking at Jing Ning's appearance, Xilin Jinqiu listened to Dong Wentao's words in his heart, the person that my brother is dedicated to guarding is really extraordinary, but my brother has no chance to guard Jing Ning's side forever, and he has no such blessing to accompany Jing Ning's side.
Jing Ning saw Xilin Jinqiu sitting there in a blink of an eye and drinking tea, thinking that he was sad that his previous method was not adopted, and then the ridicule was exchanged for his own denial. Jing Ning knew that Xilin Jinqiu had an excellent face, and refuting his face in public was even more sad than cutting his flesh, so he had to think of ways to help him get back face.
"Eh, although I have thought about doing this, but how can I smoothly ascend to the throne, convince the ministers, and the people willing, but I have no way to ......" Jing Ning's face was full of embarrassment, and he sat on the chair next to Xilin Jinqiu.
Dong Wentao originally had some thoughts in his heart, but when he raised his eyes and saw Jing Ning's appearance and Jing Ning's thoughts, he immediately understood it: I am afraid that this matter will not be difficult for Jing Ning at all, but he just looked at Xilin Jinqiu and looked unhappy, and deliberately said this to help Xilin Jinqiu relieve the unhappiness in his heart.
So, before he could speak, Dong Wentao was silent. Sitting on the chair silently, pouring himself a cup of tea, Dong Wentao watched how Jing Ning directed and acted in such a scene, and cooperated with the double reed in a timely manner, so that he came in vain this time.
Jing Ning sighed, and Xilin Jinqiu really took the bait. Seeing that Jing Ning, who was still in good spirits and was lofty, suddenly wilted, Xilin Jinqiu felt distressed in his heart. After thinking about it for a while, Xilin Jinqiu hurriedly spoke: "As long as it is said that you have always been in charge of the affairs in the court before, the emperor has already been taken captive by Madame Honghua to Jinxia Kingdom, even under the banner of 'return my king', this battle will be much easier." The attention of the ministers and the people has been shifted to asking for the return of the king to the Jinxia Kingdom, and your wife's position as a husband is legitimate, and in addition, since you quietly ascended the throne, you have never made any big mistakes, but have governed the Wuzhu Kingdom in an orderly manner, so you are not afraid of any other objections! ”
Jing Ning was overjoyed when he heard this, and looked at Xilin Jinqiu, who was radiant and vibrant in an instant, and the sadness on his face disappeared all of a sudden, but he had to complain about him a few words, lest Xilin Jinqiu notice: "This idea is really good, but you have such a good method, but you sit there alone and are silent, and Brother Wen Tao and I are sad and anxious there, which is really annoying." ”
Dong Wentao saw Jing Ning's glance, but it seemed that this was the case, and he couldn't help but want to laugh in his heart, but he was impressed by Jing Ning's wit, so he had to hold back his laughter and cooperate with Jing Ning: "Yes!" Brother Xilin is like this, but he should be punished. I heard that you just got a lot of hairy crabs in your house, and the steamed crabs in rice wine in autumn are the best, so it's better for you to send some, and we will eat them, so we won't care about this matter, I don't know what Ning'er thinks? ”
When Jing Ning heard this, he was immediately unhappy: "Brother Xilin, I still treat you as a brother, I have such delicious food, and I actually hide it by myself, how can this matter be forgotten like this?" ”
The group was noisy, and these words were eaten by several people who went to Xilin Jinqiu's house many times. Next, according to what Xilin Jinqiu said, Dong Wentao, Xilin Jinqiu and Fengxian helped Jing Ning to the throne.
The empress is called the emperor, such a thing is unheard of in Wuzhu Kingdom, but seeing that the emperor was exiled to Jinxia Kingdom, the court is a group of dragons without a leader at this time, and it is reasonable for Jing Ning to ascend the throne.
