"Can it be held or not?" Zhao Ji was said to be confused.

"If you are united, you will not be afraid of death, and the soldiers will not hesitate to die, and the city will be defended, and if you are not, you will not be able to hold it." Lin Mu said indifferently.

"Lin Shi's big truth is the same as what Master Chang said, it is all empty words, it seems to make sense, but it is useless in fact." Zhao Ji was very disappointed, he thought that Lin Mu would give him a different opinion, but now there is no difference.

Lin Mu's face was as calm as water, and he said with a straight face: "Since Your Highness understands, why bother to ask, the truth is often in front of you, but there are a few people who can practice it, everyone in the world knows that changing the law is to adapt to the times and is the great principle to save the Chinese Dynasty, but the fact is that it is so difficult to change the law, is this also a sin for the minister?" “

"Daring, do you mean that the fault of this king is the fault of my father? If it weren't for the protection of scholars and officials, rampant corruption, and competition for power and profit, how could the Hua Dynasty be today! Zhao Ji pointed at Lin Mu angrily, and the momentum of the superior exploded in full force.

Lin Mu sneered, "Throughout the ages, Ming Jun has often been accompanied by loyal ministers and good generals on his side, and the faint monarch has treacherous people on his side, as the so-called one who is close to Zhu is red and close to the ink is black, the upper beam is not right and the lower beam is crooked, and the soldiers are beary, and there will be a nest of bears, and until now, His Royal Highness is still self-deceiving." “

"You dare to scold the official family for being a faint king! This king will exile you three thousand miles. "Zhao Ji is going crazy to be angry with Lin Mu, no one has ever dared to reprimand the royal family like this.

"Xia Guan is wrong." Lin Mu sighed.

Zhao Ji snorted lightly, "I think you are also loyal to the country, and this king should not hear it." It's just that Lin Mu's next words made him almost angry and had a heart attack.

"Xia Guan is really wrong, I thought that His Royal Highness King Duan stood out from the crowd, had the world in mind, and was open-minded, but I didn't expect it to be just a general." Lin Mu continued: "Loyalty is contrary to the ear, but the biggest shortcoming of the lower officials is to be honest, if Your Highness doesn't like it, three thousand miles, five thousand miles will be exiled at will, but there is still a territory of three thousand miles in the current Hua Dynasty, and two thousand miles is enough." “

"You ......"

Zhao Ji covered his chest, held the chair with his hand to prevent himself from falling, gasped deeply for a few moments, and he suddenly howled and cried, "In Lin'an, my father bullied me, my brother bullied me, the ministers bullied me, and when I got to this Jiangning king, I will be bullied by you, you ......"

Lin Mu was stunned now, he has always eaten soft and not hard, Zhao Ji did not face up to the disadvantages of the Hua Dynasty, but he was looking for problems in him, he was naturally unhappy, and he was angry but just said a few words angrily, after all, although he was in the Hua Dynasty, the concept of equality that he had cultivated in the contemporary era for more than 20 years was immediately quit for a while.

Ran Yun had been guarding the door, and he could hear the quarrel inside the door clearly, and at this time, he finally couldn't pretend that he hadn't heard anything, and entered the study with a knife, "Your Highness, do you want to cut him with a knife!" “

Zhao Ji raised his head at this time and wiped his tears, "Cut him, who will tell the truth to this king in the future." ”

Lin Mu breathed a sigh of relief, this-for-tat confrontation made Zhao Ji expose his true self, he didn't misunderstand this young man.

Ran Yun put away the waist knife and gave Lin Mu a "You should be careful." "I went back to my post.

Looking at Lin Mu again, Zhao Ji said to Lin Mu: "Lin Shi said, this king was offended a lot just now, but ordinary people still don't want to be accused of their own mistakes, not to mention this king and his father, but ordinary people make mistakes but harm themselves, and the king and the royal family make mistakes and destroy the country, you are right." “

"People are not saints and sages, and His Royal Highness can change his mistakes, and he is very good." Lin Mu had a superior attitude, Zhao Ji's ability to tolerate his behavior just now proved that he was at least not a stupid person, and he didn't have to be careful when getting along with such a person.

Zhao Ji calmed down for a moment, and then he picked up a holy decree from the table and handed it to Lin Mu.

"My father ordered this king to be the governor of Jiangning Mansion, and the commander-in-chief of Jiangning's military and political affairs, this border incident is not simple, and Deputy Privy Envoy Dong is afraid that this time is just to delay the time for Jin Bing to go south under the pretext of investigation, but no one knows how long it can be delayed." Zhao Ji looked worried, "That's why this king is so anxious." “

Zhao Ji showed himself the holy decree, which was his complete trust in himself, and he said: "The official family gives His Royal Highness real power, which is a bit intriguing, after all, the ancestral system of the Hua Dynasty, only the crown prince can receive real power." ”

Zhao Ji naturally knew this, he smiled bitterly: "Lin Shi said, you don't know the official family, but this king understands, the father does not like government affairs, but the most important name, ten years ago Jin Bing had planned to go south, but due to civil strife and vitality was greatly injured, now ten years of recuperation, Jin State is strong, Jin Emperor Erhe is very ambitious, the war between the Hua Dynasty and the Jin Dynasty is inevitable, and the Hua Dynasty has been established for more than 200 years, the accumulation of disadvantages is difficult to change, this war, I am afraid that it is a war to destroy the country, my father is unwilling to be the king of this dead country, ten years ago he was ready to Zen throne between the king to flee south, And now he is repeating his old tricks, and he is ready to throw this mess to this king. “

"Your Highness means that if Jin Bing really goes south, the official family will be the same as ten years ago? It's just that the lower officials don't understand, doesn't the king of the middle have an eye disease? Lin Mu had 10,000 grass and mud horses running over in his heart, this emperor of the Chinese Dynasty was named Zhao Ji, and he was as strange as Zhao Ji of the contemporary Song Huizong.

At the end of the Northern Song Dynasty, the Jin soldiers surrounded Kaifeng, and Zhao Heng, the prince of Song Huizong, fled south.

Zhao Ji frowned, "Ten years ago, the king's eyes were good, but since then, he suddenly contracted an eye disease, so his father will let this king take real power, after all, King Fu is only ten years old, and he is still too young." ”

"No wonder His Highness attaches so much importance to whether he can hold Jiang Ning." Lin Mu knew it in his heart.

Obviously, what is in front of Zhao Ji is a crisis and an opportunity, and for Lin Mu, what is in front of him is also a crisis and an opportunity.

If Zhao Ji really fled south in a hurry like ten years ago, and gave up the throne to Zhao Ji, his status would naturally rise.

The crisis lies in the fact that as a king, Zhao Ji will definitely fight with the Jin people, if he wins, he will pass the test smoothly, if he loses, he can only die with Zhao Ji.

Out of the instinct of doing business in the past, Lin Mu weighed the risks and benefits, and after thinking for a while, he decided to take a big gamble, so he said: "Your Highness, if you want to defend Jiangning City, there is no way, but as Xia Guan said, you should practice your plan. “

"Lin Shi said that if there is really a way, this king will promise you anything!" Zhao Ji was pleasantly surprised.

In fact, like the thoughts of most of the ministers of the Hua Dynasty, he decided from his heart that the Hua Dynasty could not win the Jin people, so the throne, which usually seemed extremely tempting, was just a hot potato for him in the current situation, and he had to lead the ministers to fight against the Jin people.
