Lin Qianmo, the uncle of Zhao Wuyun, the former head of the household department. Because of a letter of recommendation from Zhu Zhiling, he directly made up for the lack of Qin Daoyuan, who died of illness, and became the waiter of the Ministry of Rites.

However, the squire is the second grade, and the prefect is the fourth grade, so wouldn't this transfer be a move to the left? When everyone heard that Emperor Ming had named him, they couldn't help but think secretly when they were relieved, they really didn't know how this Lin Qianmo offended His Majesty.

Lin Qianmo's face turned pale, two months ago, he was not qualified to go to this Yingze Palace, and in the blink of an eye, he was going to be demoted back to Linzhou, and he was afraid that he would not even be able to save his life. His lips trembled, and he said, "Back to Your Majesty, the minister has indeed served as the prefect of Linzhou for eight years. ”

Emperor Ming nodded with satisfaction and said: "Very good, I am worried that there is no proper person who can share my worries, you can go to Linzhou tomorrow to take up your post, make preparations first, and I will personally raise the army to come in a few days." Having repelled the Imurans, you have done a great job, and I will reward you again. ”

Lin Qianmo's heart is already like ashes.

Heavy rewards? I'm afraid that this bone is going to be buried in Linzhou.

Or not...... The daughter has died in Linzhou, and the family is buried in one place, which is also complete.

I think that in my life, I have always been defeated in the hands of the Zhao family, about the number of fate......

Lin Qianmo couldn't help but burst into tears, bowed his head and said, "Your ...... In accordance with Your Majesty's will, I will leave tomorrow and bid farewell to Your Majesty......"

The surrounding ministers looked haggard and a little compassionate, only Lu Xingyuan still stood indifferently, he secretly thought, sure enough, His Majesty still hates Zhao Wuyun.

The Fuxingtai court meeting was over, and the ministers withdrew from the palace one after another. Emperor Ming called: "Duke Pei Guo and stay." ”

Lu Xingyuan lowered his head and replied "yes".

Emperor Ming looked at the sides and ordered, "You all go down too." ”

After a while, there were only two people left in the main hall.

"Ah Weng ......" Emperor Ming's tone softened a lot.

"The minister is here."

"Let's take a walk with me."

"Yes, where does Your Majesty want to go?"

Emperor Ming smiled, pointed to the screen and said, "There." ”

Both of them knew that "there" referred to the secret passage.

When Lu Xingyuan was blocked by Zhu Zhiling outside the Liufang Gate, he used this secret passage to go straight to Fuxingtai, and Zhu Zhiling also used this secret passage to send a thousand soldiers from Baihua Lane to Taiye City, while Emperor Ming directly activated the mechanism from Laiyi Palace and drowned all 1,000 soldiers in the secret passage.

This secret passage is by no means the only creepy place in Taiye City, but at least it is an absolute hidden place.

The two entered the dark road without saying a word, and the Ming Emperor still held the jade Ruyi inlaid with pearls in his hand, shining as bright as a torch in the rest of the room. There was still some wet water on the wall next to the road, which was left after the last activation of the mechanism, and the corpses of the thousand soldiers had already washed into the bottom of the lake with the waterway, waiting to turn into silt.

"Aon, do you know why I'm talking to you here?"

"Your Majesty thinks that you won't be heard by others here?"

"Not bad...... I felt that my side was no longer airtight, but implicit in Imuran's eyeliner. ”

"Speaking of which, old minister...... Also Imulans. ”

Emperor Ming smiled, "Ah Weng why do you need to defend, I can observe the mind, and I naturally understand." How much more would I speak to you here if I doubt you? ”

Lu Xingyuan nodded.

"Ah Weng, today I see that your palace is silent, but you are still worried?"

"Compared to His Majesty's worries, the minister's worries are not worth mentioning."

"Oh? Do you think I'm worried? ”

Lu Xingyuan did not speak.

Emperor Ming sighed and said, "Ah Weng, you still understand my heart." ”

"Dare to ask Your Majesty, can the four generals really lead troops to help?"

"You doubt me too?"

"The minister just thinks that it will be difficult to gather 40,000 soldiers and horses without letting the military department know......"

"I didn't lie to the four generals about it. It's just that it wasn't ordered half a month ago, but the day before yesterday. ”

"The day before yesterday? How could he reach the capital of Taiye Country in seven or eight days......" Lu Xingyuan couldn't help but be surprised.

"Yes, we can get there, but each person does not bring 10,000 soldiers."

Lu Xingyuan seemed to have guessed that Emperor Ming would falsely report the number of soldiers to reassure people, and asked, "If there are no 10,000, how many are there?" ”

Emperor Ming stretched out a finger, and Lu Xingyuan's heart was cold.

"A thousand?"

Shake your head.

“…… Hundred? ”

Emperor Ming still shook his head and smiled, "It's just them." ”

Lu Xingyuan was stunned.

He knew that there were not many troops stationed in the four states, but it was still possible to gather three or four thousand people each, but he never expected that the Ming Emperor would only send generals and not transfer troops. It's no wonder that he can arrive in Taiye City after seven or eight days without the military department knowing, and he will naturally not make any movement alone.

"But Your Majesty only sent four generals to the front of the palace, what is your intention?"

"Aong...... I won't hide it from you, now the whole country can only use the 60,000 troops, although Liu Mingyan still has some troops in his hands, but if he is transferred out of southern Xinjiang, there will inevitably be a fire in the backyard, so I have no troops available. For the sake of today's plan, only by letting the four generals help from it, outwitting and winning with less, can there be a glimmer of life......"

"Your Majesty still plans to go on a personal expedition?"

"Yes, that's what I did, but I have other plans. As I said, there is already an Imuran eyeliner in this Taiye City, and I can guess a thing or two, so I plan to deliberately release the news to let the Imuran people know that I want to come to Linzhou in person......"

Lu Xingyuan asked in surprise: "Your Majesty wants to seduce ......?"

"Exactly! Aweng ...... Is there a better bait in the world than mine? Emperor Ming chuckled, echoing in the empty dark passage.

"Some of the things I said on the Fuxing Platform today are true and some are false, and these true and false news reach the ears of the Imurans together, so that I can find their flaws and then design to deal with the enemy. I believe that with the right strategy, even if there are only 60,000 people, I can break the Imurans! ”

"Listening to Your Majesty's tone, you want to use the power of the blue sea to face Imuran alone, and sure enough, Emperor Wen's letter is fake?"

Emperor Ming shook his head and said: "The letter is true, not false, but deceitful." ”

"Your Majesty means ......"

"Aong...... Although Ling Er's death was a suicide, it had nothing to do with Emperor Wen. He tricked Ling'er into merging with her on the Northern Expedition, but he passed the rebellion of Ling'er to me in advance as a pigeon harrier, hoping that I would have civil strife in the blue sea. With such sinister intentions, how can any righteous teacher be raised to help me retreat from the enemy? ”

Lu Xingyuan sighed secretly.

Emperor Ming didn't hide Zhu Zhiling's rebellion from him, but he still didn't expect Li Houcong to be such a person who waited for an opportunity like a poisonous snake.

Since ancient times, the Li family has been so wise that they will give birth to such a calculating monarch.

"But what the letter said was that if His Majesty wanted the Cangwu Kingdom to help, he would send troops to help...... Could it be that His Majesty wrote a letter to Emperor Wen asking for help? ”

"Yes."

Why is that? Since His Majesty already knows Emperor Wen's hypocrisy, why do you still ask for help? ”

"Ah Weng, the great enemy is in the north, but the west of the Hanjiang River has to be guarded against. I was worried that Li Houcong had other calculations, so I wrote a letter to test him. Before the Imulans arrived in Baodi City, he broke his agreement with Ling Er and brought the army back to the Wanhua Imperial Capital, and now that the war is imminent, he is willing to send troops instead, can't you guess what he wants to do? ”

He ...... Is he trying to take advantage of the situation? ”

"Not bad! There are wolves in front and tigers in the back, and his Li Houcong's headache is just the danger of the Hanjiang River, and I deliberately proposed to let him reinforce him because he must have felt that there was an opportunity to take advantage of it, so he promised that there must be fraud in it, and he wanted to use my blue sea boat to cross the Hanjiang River. Now that I know what he really means, I need to be more vigilant. Ah Weng, this matter will be handed over to you, no matter what kind of reason you find, from now on, you must take back all the blue sea ships on the Hanjiang River, no matter how big or small, to the shore, and the river bank must also be strictly guarded, if necessary, Liu Mingyan can send some more boats to the south bank of Binzhou Mansion to patrol day and night. ”

"I'm just afraid that King Lijun will ...... to the old minister," Lu Xingyuan smiled bitterly.

Emperor Ming immediately understood, and sighed: "Okay, this little girl is a little sharp, and I will personally pass on this matter to her." ”

She paused, and then said, "There is another thing, Ah Weng also has to watch carefully for me." The things that I asked Lu Qiusheng of the Ministry of Works to supervise before must be completed as soon as possible, and I don't know if they will come in handy one day. ”

"Yes, Your Majesty, rest assured, the old minister asked Lu Shangshu yesterday, and he said that it will be verified and delivered in about two or three days."

"That's good, that's good......"

Lu Xingyuan saw that Emperor Ming's face was much better, and asked tentatively: "The minister wants to ask Your Majesty, just that Lin Qianmo ......"

Emperor Ming suddenly frowned, his face was a little more gloomy, and he waved his hand and said, "Ah Weng, I'm a little tired today, don't talk about such things that don't matter." ”

Lu Xingyuan hurriedly responded: "Yes." ”

Your Majesty really still holds a grudge against Zhao Wuyin...... Although she has always refused to say too much, it is obvious that Lin Qianmo's transfer was deliberately done by Emperor Ming.

Maybe in all things, only this little thing makes her seem to have some ordinary emotions, but if it really makes her feel better, what is Lin Qianmo's head?

"Ah Weng, there are some things I don't want to hide from you, but there are some things I have my own ideas in my heart. I was angry with you because of Lu Wenchi's Nanhua gold sale case before, and I really had no choice but to do so, but I know your Lu family's loyalty. I also know that none of the people of the Manchu Dynasty can compare to you, the Imuran...... I am very grateful that you can never leave me like this...... But if you decide to leave one day, I won't blame you. ”

Lu Xingyuan's heart sank and asked, "Your Majesty said that you don't have the confidence to pass this hurdle?" ”

Emperor Ming looked back and smiled: "Ah Weng...... I am not an immortal, I can reach the sky with one hand, and I will naturally do my best to the national fortune of the blue sea, but if that day really comes, then I can only know the destiny of heaven. Is that honest? ”

After that, he gently pushed away the mechanism on the wall, and what appeared in front of him was the faint fragrance of the incense hall.
