Chapter Seventy-Nine: Resolving the Crisis
Compared to the surrounding countries, the Blue Wolf Empire is not a big country. Due to the lack of cultivation resources, there were not many masters in the entire empire.
In the entire empire, the ninth order of the God Refining Realm is a treasure, a master among masters.
And now Lin Huai has actually reached the ninth order of the God Refining Realm, which makes everyone dumbfounded.
Not to mention that he is still the king of Zhennan, even if there is such a master among the people, the royal court has to treat it carefully.
In the imperial capital, if you are a second-order or third-order in the God Refining Realm, it may not be taken seriously, after all, there are many such masters.
But when it comes to the eighth and ninth orders, the meaning is completely different, and no one dares to despise him, let alone offend him easily.
The emperor's face was cloudy and uncertain at this time, and he didn't expect that Lin Huai, the king of Zhennan, had actually reached the ninth order of the God Refining Realm.
He must be cautious in his handling of Lin Huai now, once he does not handle it properly, the consequences may be troublesome.
"Your Majesty, I'm not good at words, I just want to ask Your Majesty today, do I have any credit for Lin Huai?"
Lin Huai was no longer afraid at this time, he had no worries, and he was not afraid that the emperor would turn his face on the spot.
"I have never denied your merits, you have no merits, how can you sit firmly in the position of the king of Zhennan?"
The emperor was telling the truth, and he never denied Lin Huai's credit.
"Your Majesty, I have always been a man of indisputability. I don't have any opinions or emotions to be an idle king, it is precisely because I am an idle king that I have time to cultivate, and I have today's ninth order of refining God Realm. ”
"But some villains have made His Majesty have some opinions about me. I don't care about that, what I care about is their slander against me. ”
"I am loyal to Your Majesty, just now they actually took it out of context and slandered the ministers to rebel, what are their intentions?"
"My mother-in-law brought me up from below, she was like my mother, and I recognized her as my stepmother at an early age. Why is my stepmother not qualified to enter the palace to congratulate the emperor??"
King Zhennan began to exert his authority, he was asking the emperor, anyway, he was out of the way today.
Everyone was dumbfounded, this King of Zhennan was so bold today, and he dared to question the emperor.
"Bold Lin Huai, are you great when you reach the ninth order of refining gods? You dare to accuse the emperor, if you commit a crime, don't you want to die?"
Wen Taishi began to reprimand Lin Huai on the side, since he tore his face, he had to instigate the emperor to make up his mind to punish Lin Huai severely.
Wen Taishi's words really worked, and the emperor was furious at this time.
"Lin Huai, are you arrogant, and now you dare to accuse me?"
"Your Majesty, the minister doesn't dare, what the minister is worried about is that Your Majesty will be blinded by the traitorous minister, and there will be misunderstandings and misunderstandings about the minister, I am just showing my attitude. ”
Lin Huai did not show weakness, he knew that once he showed weakness, he would fall into a catastrophe.
"Your Majesty, the minister has no disobedience, and my loyalty to you can be seen by the sun and the moon. But I can't tolerate those villains playing right and wrong, and I hope the emperor will see it. ”
"Lin Huai, what you say is beautiful, but you see what you do. Your Majesty should be grateful for giving you a marriage, and you let your daughter go, which is a disguised refusal of Your Majesty's marriage. This is the great rebellion, which is equivalent to rebellion. ”
King Zhenbei diverted the topic in time, this is a fact, see how he King Zhennan quibbles.
Everyone turned their eyes to King Zhennan again, this is an indisputable fact, how will King Zhennan respond?
"Yes, I am dissatisfied with His Majesty's marriage, and I think my daughter has wronged her by becoming a side concubine. Dissatisfaction is dissatisfaction, but I will do what His Majesty wants. ”
"But my daughter is a cultivator, and it's normal for her to go out to practice. I didn't expect her to have an accident outside, and she hasn't come back yet, what do you think I can do?"
"My daughter is now at the eighth order of the Refining Realm, she is a subject of the Blue Wolf Empire, her strength is beneficial to the empire and your majesty, is this also wrong?"
Lin Huai was speechless, and Liang Hongyu was speechless.
More people were surprised, Lin Xuejiao had just reached the ninth order of the Refining Realm in her early twenties, this cultivation talent was too amazing, right?
This is unique in the imperial capital, and even the emperor has to admire.
"Congratulations to Your Majesty, congratulations to Your Majesty, it is a great joy for my Celestial Dynasty to have such a genius. ”
King Pingxi stood up, and everyone could hear the meaning of his words.
"Oh, King Pingxi, where does the joy come from?"
"Your Majesty, think about it, when has our Celestial Empire produced such a genius, not to mention that she is also your future daughter-in-law. Since she is out to train, she will come back sooner or later, and once she is stronger, it will be of great benefit to our empire. Your Majesty, do you think so?"
Now the scene is angry and embarrassed, he came out and diluted mud, he was helping King Zhennan in disguise.
"What King Pingxi said makes sense, although the surrounding area has been more stable in recent years, they are still eyeing each other. The king of Zhennan has improved his strength, which has added another layer of guarantee for future battles. Lin Xuejiao is a genius of Tianzhong, and she will definitely help His Majesty strengthen his imperial power in the future. Women don't let their eyebrows go, which is really gratifying. ”
At this time, the king of Zhendong also stood up to speak, and the two princes spoke, which made Wen Taishi and the others very unhappy, but they had nothing to do.
The two of them usually have nothing to do with King Zhennan, so how could they stand in his position to speak for Lin Huai at this time?
Master Wen was surprised, King Zhenbei was surprised, and even Lin Huai himself was surprised.
"Lin Huai, can you agree to my marriage?"
"Your Majesty, the minister never said he disagreed. But it's a fact that my daughter is not at home, and I just want to get married, so I have to wait for her to come back. ”
Lin Huai knew that he couldn't hardtop now, otherwise he and Granny Jinhua wouldn't be able to get out of the hall, and they would have to soften when they should be soft.
The emperor is the number one master in the imperial capital, and he is definitely not his opponent.
There is also Wen Taishi, who is also a master, and he is not his opponent.
There are countless masters in the palace, and just relying on his ninth order of refining God Realm, it is not enough to fight against the emperor.
Now we can only use the strategy of delaying the army to drag on for a while, and then think of other ways later.
In any case, it is time to get out of this hall safely.
"And how can your daughter come back?" the emperor's face softened considerably.
"Your Majesty, she went to the 100,000 mountains for trial, as for how much she will be able to come back, I can't say, but as long as she comes back, she can get married. ”
Lin Huai played a trick, he didn't give the emperor an accurate time, so that he could delay it for a while longer.
Now that there are two princes who have come out to speak for themselves, maybe the emperor will take care of it.
"Well, since that's the case, I'll wait for you to get a letter back. I remember that you have merit, and this matter will be here today, and I will make a decision when your daughter returns. Ladies and gentlemen, today is a happy day, let's have a drink together. ”
Later, under the leadership of the emperor, the monarch began to drink.
"It's so dangerous today, the emperor almost turned his face, and now I think about it and I'm still afraid. ”
Back in the palace, Lin Huai still has palpitations.
"King Pingxi and King Zhendong were a little unexpected today, why would they suddenly help to speak?"
This is the biggest question of Jinhua's mother-in-law, although they are officials in the same dynasty, they have almost no personal relationship with each other.
"I don't know why, is there something mysterious here?"
Lin Huai was also puzzled, he couldn't think of the reason.
"Lord, Wu Qiming came to see him and waited at the gate of the palace. ”
The family quickly came over to report.
"He's a guest, how can you let him wait outside the door? ”
Wu Qiming quickly walked in: "Meet the prince, meet the mother-in-law Jinhua." ”
"Sit down, you're welcome. Serve him tea. ”
The two were very polite to Wu Qiming, after all, this is a real friend.
"Lord Wang, mother-in-law, I have heard about everything in the hall today, it is really dangerous. ”
Wu Tianming went to participate in the celebration, Wu Qiming knew what was happening in the hall, Lin Huai was not surprised.
"Yes, today we went back and forth between life and death. Lin Huai sighed.
"Doesn't the prince want to know the reason why King Pingxi and King Zhendong stood up and spoke today?"
"Why, do you know?"
Lin Huai and Granny Jinhua were taken aback at the same time.
"This matter is my eldest brother who went to beg the two princes, and at the same time promised to give a generous gift, the specific situation is like this......"
Wu Qiming told the two of them the truth of the matter, and after listening to it, King Zhennan and Mother-in-law Jinhua didn't speak for a long time.
"I see, this Zhao Fei is really thoughtful, and he looks at the problem so far. Granny Jinhua muttered.
"He didn't catch up with the time, and the pill will be delivered in a few days. He prepared these pills just for emergencies, and he was always concerned about the safety of the prince. ”
Looking at their surprised expressions, Wu Qiming said with a smile.
"Qiming, you are not an outsider, what do you think of the things in the hall today?" Granny Jinhua hurriedly asked.
"Since my mother-in-law asked, then I'll tell you the truth. You gave the emperor a procrastination, why didn't he give you a delaying tactic?"
"What do you mean by that?"
"Lord Wang, you are now an idle king. Why did you become an idle king, it is not because the emperor is suspicious of you. ”
"The emperor is not someone who can be swayed by others, and he will not be swayed by Master Wen and others. There are only two reasons why he is not in the main hall today. ”
"Oh, what are the two reasons? ”
"The first reason is that he doesn't know why your cultivation has improved so much all at once. He doesn't know if there is a master behind you. ”
The second reason was that he knew that An Nanhou and the Lin family had escaped from the imperial capital, and he didn't dare to do it easily. If the grass is not cut and the roots are not removed, the hidden dangers left behind will be even greater. That's exactly what he feared. ”
Hearing Wu Qiming say this, Lin Huai thought about it carefully.
"You have a point, and I think the second option is more likely. ”
"Lord Wang, I am also inclined to this point of view. The emperor should have found out that the Lin family had fled the imperial capital, but he found out a little late and didn't have time to do it. Now you are safer, as long as they can't find Annanhou and the others, they will always be forbearing. But the contradictions between you should be difficult to reconcile, and the killing will appear at any time. ”
"Yes, the monarch and the minister, I don't have a problem if I don't have this prince. I don't want to turn against him, and I don't want to fight with him. ”
Lin Huai shook his head helplessly.
"Lord Wang, the initiative is not in your hands, and you can't control the situation. You must make plans for the future, Yuzhong is no longer worth it. ”
"I will never betray the Emperor, and if he wants me to die, I will die. But you can't ask me for the lives of more than 100 people, I will never agree to this. ”
This is Lin Huai's bottom line, he is not afraid of death, but he can't follow the whole family to the funeral.
