Chapter 241: One after the other
When the crown prince roared like this, the whole person immediately shrank together, his head lowered, and even his hands couldn't help shaking. Even if he was indignant in his heart, he could only restrain himself, and it would be no good for him to anger the emperor.
The emperor's patience with the crown prince is also limited, and now at this time, he and Wan Yan Jin can't tear their faces, otherwise who will they call to lead the troops to the battle? Where can this court find a military general who can replace Wan Yan Jin or compete with him? Even if Yan Jin's motives are not pure, at least he is willing to maintain the status quo and is not afraid that he will be in the court and injustice for a while, after all, he cares more about the people of Dongyue, doesn't he?
"The prince is short-sighted and doesn't know how to be far-sighted, and I ask Prince Jin to forgive me." Wan Yan Jin watched coldly on the side how the emperor ended, and the emperor pulled down his face and Wan Yan Jin made amends with a hippie smile. When his eyes fell on the prince, he immediately changed to another appearance, the green tendons on his forehead seemed to be obedient, they appeared when they should appear, and disappeared when they should disappear, but they matched the emperor's cunning temperament.
"After all, the prince is not young, but he has no actual combat experience, it is better to bother Prince Jin, and bring the prince with him on this expedition, so that the prince can see the world! Get a glimpse of life in the barracks. The Emperor suggested.
The prince's whole face turned blue when he heard this, and the emperor asked him to go to the battlefield, isn't this equivalent to letting him die? It's better to imprison him in the palace, at least his life is guaranteed, isn't it?
The crown prince immediately refused: "Father, don't do it! Although Erchen also wants to experience the life of a march on the battlefield last time, after all, Erchen has no martial arts, and if he goes, I am afraid that it will only drag down the army and distract Prince Jin from taking care of Erchen. Father should think twice! The prince shouted, this is not a joke, whether he can come back from the battlefield is a question. Not to mention that the emperor also handed him over to Wan Yan Jin, if Wan Yan Jin found an opportunity to calculate him at will, he would be helpless outside, and he would definitely have to suffer some hardships.
"I'm not asking you to plan for troops, I'm just letting you follow the team and experience the life of an army. I think that I also galloped on the battlefield back then, and I was very happy when I returned from every victory, and this feeling is something that only those who have experienced it will experience. The emperor sighed with emotion, thinking that his courage back then was even more incompetent than the prince's current cowardice.
The prince was said to have no way to retreat, and he was almost about to accept his fate, but he saw Wan Yanjin, who had been silent, speak, his eyes looked up and down on the prince, and even the curvature of the corners of his mouth was contemptuous, the prince was very uncomfortable, and even the pores on his body felt uncomfortable.
After looking at it for a while, Wan Yan Jin retracted his gaze and said, "Although the emperor's proposal is good, forget it, there are no such idlers in the army." At this point, I have to praise the prince, although the prince always feels that he is superior and super capable on weekdays, he also has some self-knowledge at this time, and it just happens to give the king less burden. Your Majesty, there are still many places in the army that need to be deployed, so the king will retire first. ”
After Yan Jin finished speaking, he left, just like when he came, and walked casually. As soon as he left, the officials present all put their hearts back in their stomachs. This man is so terrifying, there seems to be an aura that is so strong that it makes people breathless automatically around him, and whoever meets him has to condescend to him.
"Your Majesty, are the Tianchu Kingdom and our Dongyue really going to war?" One of the officials asked.
This is not good news for East Vietnam, although East Vietnam has always regarded itself as the head of the three countries, and its national strength seems to be able to overwhelm every country. But only these internal officials know that Dongyue has long been much worse than before.
For so many years after the truce, Dongyue has been in a state of pampering, but most of the people have lived a poor life, and only the officials and the royal family have been living as pampered as they are now. The people of Dongyue have always been dissatisfied with the actions of the royal family, and if it weren't for Wan Yan Jin's maneuvering between them, perhaps the royal family could be overthrown with the growing resentment of the people.
The Emperor sighed, what should come is always coming. The Tianchu State has been dissatisfied with the oppression of Dongyue for a long time, and now that Gusu Haoyue is in power, the momentum of the Tianchu State is gradually growing, and they will naturally be dissatisfied with the oppression of Dongyue.
"This official document is Tianchu's war letter to Dongyue. King Jin received it as early as half a year ago, and he didn't announce it because he was worried about causing panic, so King Jin made preparations in private, and then there was a reserve army of 300,000. The emperor's hand holding the official document was trembling, but he didn't expect that this time he would catch Yan Jin's loophole lead to such a big thing later. He handed over these things to Wan Yan Jin to deal with, he basically didn't ask much about these things, and Wan Yan Jin simply didn't even tell him. Now that things are on the table, they have really been slapped in the face.
"I see, how could Lord Jin rebel?" Seeing that the emperor said this, some officials who were upset about Yan Jin also took advantage of this to say a few words.
"Your Majesty, don't you remember what Prince Jin did for Dongyue at all? King Jin is conscientious, just from the fact that he concealed the matter of the war book and prepared it himself, it can be seen that King Jin's good intentions! I also hope that the emperor will give Prince Jin some trust, so as not to happen today's incident again. Zhao Zhongzhong, who was on the side, finally stood up and spoke for Wan Yanjin.
Today, he also pinched the sweat of his hand, and such a thing as hiding the army came out, and none of them could speak for Yan Jin, otherwise it would be easy to be calculated by others, and it would be even worse if he was treated as a fellow party. He can be regarded as Wan Yan Jin's right-hand man, but today this matter is also something he did not expect, where did he think that Wan Yan Jin really secretly hid 300,000 troops. Before Wan Yan Jin arrived, he was under tremendous pressure, and he was afraid that Wan Yan Jin would not be able to pass this hurdle.
But he never expected that Wan Yanjin would give such a big reversal to such a situation. Not only the crown prince, but even the emperor was slapped in the face, and those forces that were waiting for the opportunity were finally destroyed.
The emperor sighed ashamedly, and after Zhao Zhongzhong, there were officials who gave Yan Jin grievances one after another. This time it was indeed his negligence, although it was after close research, but he couldn't imagine that Yan Jin did all this for Dongyue.
"Alas! It was my momentary negligence that made me blame Lord Jin. In the future, such a thing must not happen again, and if anyone dares to say a word in front of me again, I will definitely let him be punished. The emperor tried his best to save that bit of dignity.
"It must be the best for the emperor to think like this, the current Dongyue cannot be without King Jin, and without King Jin, there will be no current Dongyue, needless to say, everyone understands. As a courtier, you can't solve problems for the emperor, and don't add trouble to the emperor, I hope all the officials present can keep this in mind. "Zhao Zhongzhong's influence in the court is also very great, and at least half of the people in the court will obey Zhao Zhongzhong's arrangement, because Zhao Zhongzhong is the closest person to Wan Yan Jin, and what he does will never go against Wan Yan Jin.
Those officials who had worked hard to suppress Yan Jin before, now lowered their heads. Wan Yan Jin's position in the court is unshakable, no one can easily replace him, and these people dare not offend Wan Yan Jin. At the beginning, he desperately suppressed Yan Jin, and when he fell into the well, he thought that Yan Jin would definitely die, but no one could have imagined that this would be the result.
......
After Yan Jin left the palace, he sat in the sedan chair prepared by Shuofeng early in the morning, rubbed his hands on his temples, and then closed his eyes and rested while sitting in the sedan chair. Only then did people realize his haggardness, rushed all the way to Purgatory City, and then rushed back to Bianjing, and before he had time to rest, such a big thing happened, and it was not easy for anyone to solve this matter in such a short time.
Wan Yanjin's face was very haggard, and his eyes were blue and black. These days, he doesn't rest well, things happen one after another, he is busy every day, and he doesn't have time to be sentimental about the emotions hidden in his heart, all of them are pressed in the bottom of his heart, and when no one is around, he will take it out and savor it when he is quiet, and then swallow all the bitter water by himself.
He didn't even have time to think about what he should do, Liang Chenyue's matter was like a big stone pressing on his heart, and he felt sorry for everything that happened to her. For Mu Tingcheng, he doesn't know how to face it now, it's not that a man in his dignity would not dare to see a woman, but after knowing that she designed to frame Liang Chenyue, his guilt for Mu Chengcheng for so many years came to an abrupt end, and he was worried that he would be resentful because of Liang Chenyue and couldn't control himself, and completely stripped the woman he had left by his side for many years from his life.
The second is Mo Qichen. When he was invited to the underground bank, Wan Yanjin was firm and resolute, and even now he has never regretted it. It is because there are too many like-minded places between them that he chooses to trust, trust a person he doesn't know, and hand over 300,000 soldiers to him. But if it was really Mo Qichen's betrayal, and it was really him who believed in the wrong person, then how would he end up?
Mo Qichen already knows everything about the underground bank, and it is very easy for him to bring down the underground bank. The most important thing for Wan Yan Jin was known to Mo Qichen, and it was out of this trust. If this trust is not worth it, then the victims are the entire underground money bank and those brothers who have accompanied him from birth to death for so many years.
