Li Jinzhong's desire to fight for merit was rising, and he refused to retreat easily based on the emperor's words. He stood solemnly, bowed down and said: "Please Your Majesty put state affairs first, Yun Chen resigns from the post of secretary of the Ministry of War, and confers on the minister the title of Jieyue, and the minister is willing to work with Your Majesty for about three months to recover the river." ”

Seeing that the emperor's words not only failed to persuade Li Jinzhong to dispel the idea of going into battle in person, Liu Yi became even more unscrupulous, and let him go on like this, the emperor was afraid that it would be difficult to parry. As soon as he rolled his eyes, he simply jumped up, grabbed Li Jinzhong and walked out, and said with a vibrating mouth: "You old eunuch, you can't pull the bow of two stones, how can you command the three armies?" If the grandfather of the country is not down-to-earth, ask the emperor to reward you with the title of adviser, and then you will have a share of the military merits. If you have anything to say, let's go outside the hall and talk about it. ”

He dragged Li Jinzhong over to Xing'er and Wei Chang's side, glared at them, and scolded: "Idiot, don't take a handle yet, the emperor raised you to eat white rice?" ”

The two had never seen Liu Yi act so violently, so they couldn't help laughing, and stepped forward to help him push Li Jinzhong out of the hall with his hands in his arms.

The emperor was first choked by Li Jinzhong, and he couldn't get out of his belly, and only when he suddenly saw Liu Yi making such a fuss, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

He looked down and saw that Lin Shu was still kneeling in front of him and didn't dare to get up, just so he could use him as a punching bag, so he opened his mouth and scolded: "It's good that I don't follow the reply I want to ask, but I want to quit the dine-in, which delays a lot of effort!" If today's things don't work out, don't blame me for not leaving you with dignity. ”

Li Jinzhong was pushed outside the hall by Liu Yi and the other three in a daze, although he was annoyed, but in the face of Liu Yi with a smiling face, he couldn't get angry, so he had to complain to Liu Yi with a wry smile: "Brother Liu, why are you hurting my good deeds!" ”

Liu Yi saw that there was no one nearby except for Lai Xing'er and Wei Chang, so he whispered, "Good thing? Brother Li doesn't know that he is saving you? The emperor has long intended to appoint Fu Yi as a general, leading the army to recover the river, and today he co-starred with Lin Shu in this bitter trick just to block the mouth of the veteran. ”

Li Jinzhong patted Liu Yi's shoulder hard, gritted his teeth and said: "Since ancient times, the son of heaven has been a courtier, but in a high-rise building, he either ascended to the sky or fell to the ground. Now I want to learn from Brother Liu and just be an idler, it's difficult! Even if the emperor refuses to grant me military power, I will not be this vain military secretary. Brother Liu, don't stop me again. With that, he turned around and re-entered the temple.

Wei Chang looked at Li Jinzhong's back and asked Liu Yi puzzledly: "Sir, what is the purpose of this Jin Guogong so desperately recruiting military power?" ”

Liu Yi shook his head and sighed: "The more fear in my heart, the more rebellious my actions become. He is afraid of being snubbed, losing his authority, and attracting the revenge of the enemy, who knows that blindly fighting for merit and power, will attract the emperor's jealousy, and the catastrophe is not far away! ”

When the emperor saw Li Jinzhong return immediately, he didn't see Liu Yi's shadow, and he already understood a little in his heart. Thanks to Liu Yiqiang pulling Li Jinzhong out, he came up with a plan to delay the army in a moment, so he didn't wait for Li Jinzhong to speak, and said first: "The military situation is urgent, and the selection of generals from the capital will delay the fighters, so it is better to temporarily order Fu Yi to take charge of the general management of the march of soldiers and horses from all walks of life, and mobilize people from all walks of life nearby to launch a counterattack." The rest of the matters will be discussed later. Now there are still hidden dangers in the palace, and the southwest border Tubo is constantly intruding, after cleaning up the palace affairs, I want to do the things of peace and vassal, pointing to the Jin Guogong and Jing Gong There are still many places to help me, so there is no need to rush at this time. ”

Jing Yuncong also saw through the bitter trick of the emperor and Lin Shu, he only felt that his loyalty was being teased, and he felt discouraged for a while, and he didn't want to say anything more. However, Li Jinzhong openly retorted: "If the main general is absent, the army's morale must be unstable, wouldn't the emperor commit a taboo in the art of war by arranging it like this?" Even if the old minister does not go out of Beijing, he can also lead the three armies from afar, annihilate the thieves and rebels, and implore the emperor to choose the main general to quell the rebellion as soon as possible. ”

Speaking of which, the emperor had nothing to do, and was secretly thinking about how to get rid of Li Jinzhong's entanglement as soon as possible. Lin Shu, who was kneeling on the side, shouted steeply: "Old man must not be rude!" repeatedly persecuting the emperor is against the duty of a minister, how can I tolerate you? As he spoke, he jumped up and pounced on Li Jinzhong.

Li Jinzhong didn't expect Lin Shu, a scholar, to punch and kick him, and he didn't have time to dodge in a hurry, and he had already received a few solid blows on his head and body. He couldn't help but be furious, picked up the Buddha bead in his hand and smashed it down at Lin Shu, and the two suddenly twisted together.

Liu Yi and the others outside the hall heard that something was wrong in the hall, and hurriedly ran into the hall, seeing this scene, they felt incredible, and they felt at a loss, and they didn't know what to do. Jing Yuncong, who was sitting on the side and watching coldly, walked up to the two of them in a hurry, grabbed the collars of the two of them with both hands, and pulled the two apart with a slight force. Looking at Li and Lin again, they both had blue noses and swollen faces, and they looked embarrassed.

Li Jinzhong fell to the ground and cried loudly: "I beg the emperor to be the master of the old ministers and cure the crime of disrespect to the forest trees." ”

Lin Shu raised his hand, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and scolded hatefully: "You traitor, everyone can beat him." "He was born with a rough appearance, and his face was hideous because of his anger, and he looked really terrifying.

It was the first time that the emperor had encountered such a thing, and he wanted to call the forbidden army outside the palace to come in and escort him, but he swallowed back the words when they came to his mouth. After all, one of the two sides of the brawl is a meritorious minister who helped him ascend to the throne, and the other is a former subordinate of the East Palace, the prime minister of the dynasty, and the two are fighting in front of themselves.

When Jing Yuncong pulled the two apart, he felt a little relieved, and couldn't help but secretly rejoice: after this beating, Li Jinzhong was afraid that he would no longer be able to think of forcing himself to worship him as a general. Thinking like this, the emperor's face sank, and he scolded Lin Shu: "Bold Lin Shu, the father of the three dynasties of the Jin Kingdom, you dare to add your fists and feet, and go to Dali Temple to listen to the survey by yourself." He instructed Lai Xing'er, who had just run in: "Good life helps the Duke of Jin to return to the house to rest, and sends the imperial doctor to the house for consultation." ”

Li Jinzhong hummed and chirped, Xing'er stood up, owed to the emperor, and said viciously: "The old minister will retire, and I hope that the emperor will agree to the old minister's request as soon as possible, and the old minister is waiting for the will at home." With that, he walked away without looking back.

Lai Xing'er helped him to walk outside the hall, Li Jinzhong shook his hand and broke away from Lai Xing'er, and whispered: "Go back and keep an eye on me, but there is a stir, report to me quickly." ”
