Chapter 1098: Wasted Effort
Qin Meiniang saw that Prime Minister Jin Fengguo's reaction was a little excessive, and she couldn't help but ponder for a while, and she was even more skeptical and guessed about Prime Minister Jin Fengguo's performance.
Qin Meiniang also said with a tangled face:
"Prime Minister, what kind of person I am, don't you know and understand clearly? If you really encounter any difficulties, or let the emperor catch something, or because of the emperor's threat, you can tell me, as long as I can help you, I will definitely have no hesitation, you don't want to defend the emperor anymore, okay? I didn't believe that the emperor would suddenly want to get better, and I wouldn't believe that it would be so easy for me to go back to the palace in Kyoto City. ”
Prime Minister Jin Fengguo didn't dare to say the real situation behind it.
If the Prime Minister of Jin Fengguo wants to, he will hide it first, until the time of these two days runs out, and then he can take Qin Meiniang on the road.
As long as he leaves the city of Lin'an County, the prime minister of Jin Fengguo can order his five thousand soldiers and horses to besiege Qin Meiniang.
Because only by doing this can Prime Minister Jin Fengguo protect his family members from harm, otherwise, everything he has done will be in vain.
This is the Achilles' heel of Prime Minister Jin Fengguo, and an official position and age like him also pay more attention to the life and death of his family.
Qin Meiniang is also the prime minister of Chongjin Fengguo, and continued:
"Prime Minister, don't be so hard-mouthed, okay? You can't lie, you can't deceive me by saying these things, so don't be stubborn anymore, okay? Hurry up and recruit from the truth! Don't worry, as long as you tell the truth, I won't blame you, on the contrary, I will be very grateful to you. ”
Where did the prime minister of Jin Fengguo dare to tell the truth! After all, this is a joke and gambling on the lives of his own family members!
Prime Minister Jin Fengguo said with excitement and helplessness:
"O Emperor! What do you want the minister to do, so that you are willing to believe my words! I really didn't deceive you, what I said was true! ”
Lord Liu also said:
"Prime Minister, it's all this time, if you hide and deceive like this, it will no longer be of any use, the emperor has begun to doubt the purpose of your trip, if you don't tell the truth, then the emperor will not go with you, the safety of the emperor is very important."
After listening to Lord Liu's words, Qin Meiniang also nodded, and said to the Prime Minister of Jin Fengguo:
"Well, what Lord Liu said is that if you don't tell the real conspiracy behind your trip, then I won't leave, and I won't go with you in two days, I won't go back to the Imperial Palace of Kyoto City, see how you continue to deceive and make up lies."
When Prime Minister Jin Fengguo heard that Qin Meiniang couldn't take it away to threaten him, he couldn't help but look entangled and anxious, and said:
"Emperor, you can't! You've already promised the minister! In two days, I will go back to the Imperial Palace of Kyoto City with the old minister, you can't go back on your word now! Talking doesn't count! ”
Qin Meiniang also smiled bitterly a few times, and said slowly:
"I haven't returned to the palace to be the emperor yet, and I haven't ascended the throne to be the emperor of our Jinfeng Kingdom, of course what I said doesn't count, besides, I didn't plan to rush back to the palace in Kyoto City in such a hurry, I still want to live in this Lin'an county for a while before leaving."
After listening to Qin Meiniang's words, Prime Minister Jin Fengguo couldn't help but look a little broken, looking at Qin Meiniang and hugging his fists:
"First Emperor, the emperor is now very hopeful and eager for you to go back to the palace, he really already knows that he is wrong, and wants to repent and give up the throne of our Jinfeng Kingdom to you, so the emperor will be in such a hurry to restore my position as prime minister, and then let the old minister lead the soldiers and horses to Lin'an County to welcome you back! The emperor should not take this matter seriously, after all, this is a rare opportunity! If the emperor still wants to delay, if the emperor changes his mind later, it will be more than worth the loss for you! ”
Lord Liu also said with a serious face:
"Your Excellency, Prime Minister! If the emperor is truly repentant and wants the emperor to return to the palace to be the emperor of the Golden Phoenix Kingdom, then why should he be in a hurry for this moment of time! Therefore, according to the lower officials, the Prime Minister is a little anxious! ”
Prime Minister Jin Fengguo also choked up, looked at Lord Liu and said:
"Lord Liu! When is this, you are still helping the emperor speak, this is not child's play! Although the emperor now knows that he is wrong, the emperor originally wanted to come out one by one many times, so once he changed his mind in the future, it would be very difficult for the emperor to do. ”
Qin Meiniang also couldn't laugh or cry, and the prime minister of Jin Fengguo looked like nothing happened, and said seriously:
"Prime Minister, don't worry about me, it's really not possible, I will go back to the palace to be the emperor in the future, and I am also willing! To be honest, I'm not interested in the throne of the Golden Phoenix Kingdom! In the past, if it weren't for the situation, there was a critical moment in the Golden Phoenix Kingdom, and I would not have been the emperor of the Golden Phoenix Kingdom! ”
Prime Minister Jin Fengguo couldn't hold back the anxiety and uneasiness in his heart, and his emotions were very abnormal.
The prime minister of Jin Fengguo also rushed to Qin Meiniang, and suddenly knelt on the ground and clenched his fists and said:
"Emperor, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity! Don't be so indifferent! You must know that the emperor is immature and not suitable to be the emperor of our Jinfeng Kingdom for a long time, you should go back to the palace as soon as possible, take over the throne, and preside over the overall situation for our Jinfeng Kingdom! Don't miss such a great opportunity, the old minister also implored the emperor to prepare to rush back to the palace in Kyoto City with the old minister as soon as possible! ”
Lord Liu couldn't help but look surprised, and couldn't help but be shocked by the request of the Prime Minister of Jin Fengguo to kneel.
Qin Meiniang was also stunned, looked at the Prime Minister of Jin Fengguo, and then said:
"Prime Minister, what are you doing! Hurry up and get up, you're so old, why are you kneeling here with me! ”
After speaking, Qin Meiniang also said to Lord Liu, who was standing on the side:
"Lord Liu, you quickly help the prime minister up."
Lord Liu also responded with his fists clenched:
"Yes, the first emperor, the lower officials will help the prime minister."
Then, Lord Liu also walked in front of the Prime Minister of Jin Fengguo, squatted down and pulled one of the arms of the Prime Minister of Jin Fengguo, wanting to help the Prime Minister of Jin Fengguo up from the ground.
Prime Minister Jin Fengguo also pushed away Lord Liu, who came to help him, and said excitedly to Qin Meiniang:
"The emperor, if you don't promise to follow the old minister to the palace in Kyoto City as soon as possible, then the old minister will keep kneeling on the ground, and the old minister won't get up until the emperor agrees."
Qin Meiniang heard Prime Minister Jin Fengguo say that she would kneel until she agreed to his request, she couldn't help but look embarrassed, and said seriously:
"Prime Minister, what are you doing here! You hurry up and don't force me, it's useless for you to force me, because I don't believe in the real purpose of your trip at all, so I advise you not to waste any more money, okay? ”
When the prime minister of Jin Fengguo saw Qin Meiniang, he didn't believe in himself at all, and he was also very entangled:
"The emperor, even if the old minister begs you, I beg you, you can go with the old minister as soon as possible, the old minister really can't help it! It's also a last resort! ”
When Qin Meiniang heard the Prime Minister of Jin Fengguo say that she was forced to do so, and if there was no way, she was also stunned, and asked the Prime Minister of Jin Fengguo:
"Prime Minister, what do you mean by that? What does it mean that there is no way? Can't help it? If you have something to hide from me, please tell it quickly, maybe I can help you solve it, if you don't say it, it will not be good for you to hide it like this. ”
Lord Liu also nodded and said to the Prime Minister of Jin Fengguo:
"Yes, Prime Minister, if you have any difficulties, you should say it quickly! As long as the emperor and the lower officials can help you, we are all obligated to help you! Don't embarrass yourself like that, okay? ”
As he spoke, Lord Liu also continued to stretch out his hand and prepare to help the prime minister of Jin Fengguo, who was kneeling on the ground.
Prime Minister Jin Fengguo did not refuse Lord Liu's support this time, and he was slowly helped up by Lord Liu.
After standing up, Prime Minister Jin Fengguo also sighed, and said to Qin Meiniang with a lot of worry:
"Good! The old minister told the emperor the truth! Lao Chen really can't stand it now, and I'm also very conflicted and entangled! ”
Qin Meiniang also looked at Prime Minister Jin Fengguo with excitement and urged:
"Prime Minister, you should say it quickly! You're going to kill me! ”
Prime Minister Jin Fengguo also choked up, and then told the truth, and said seriously:
"The emperor, you and Lord Liu are not wrong in their doubts and guesses, the old minister led the soldiers and horses to come this time, there is indeed another hidden story, the emperor has not restrained and knew his mistake at all, he guessed that the guards who were sent to Lin'an County to assassinate the emperor last time must have not completed the task, therefore, the emperor also arrested the family members of the old minister, and put the family members of the old minister in prison, the emperor took the family members of the old minister as a threat, and threatened the old minister to lead the five thousand soldiers and horses to Lin'an County to deal with the first emperor. The emperor asked the old minister to take the head of the emperor back to the palace, as long as the emperor saw that you were dead, he would release the old minister's family members who were imprisoned in the cell, so the old minister was also forced to be helpless! If you don't do what the emperor said, then the old minister's family members will all be finished! The old minister deceived the emperor, and asked the emperor to punish him! ”
After Lord Liu and Qin Meiniang heard the truth behind Prime Minister Jin Fengguo, they were both very shocked and surprised.
Lord Liu couldn't help but say excitedly:
"I didn't expect that the emperor is really despicable to do things! It is really a vicious ploy to be able to do such a thing, capture the family members of the prime minister, and use this as a threat to let you lead your soldiers and horses to Lin'an County to deal with the emperor and kill the emperor! ”
