Chapter 179: Plan ahead
"Why don't you dare?" Ji Shengping has torn his face with the emperor, what is there to fear, he forced the emperor to a corner, and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, General Wei has 100,000 troops at this time, and the army he led is all the brave army of General Situ who has experienced a hundred battles, Ji Mou is trusted by the emperor, and he also has 50,000 troops stationed in the capital. ”
"I can't leave the palace alive, see how you still fit in with Wei Lin." The emperor trembled slightly.
These traitors, one by one, want to rebel against him, they really deserve to die.
Ji Shengping hooked his lips and sneered, "Your Majesty, Ji Mou persuaded you not to kill my old man in the palace, since Ji Mou dared to blackmail the emperor regardless of life and death, he did everything possible, didn't the emperor see that Mr. Cui has been very calm?" Since the emperor already trusts Mr. Cui very much, why not listen to what he has to say? ”
Cui Mao sighed, knowing better than anyone else that as long as Wei Lin fled back to the south, it would be impossible for the emperor to kill him again, "Your Majesty, promise him." ”
"Impossible!" The emperor once again reprimanded and refused.
Doesn't Chief Cui know that if he canonizes King Ling as the crown prince, will he, the emperor, still have a way to live? This is absolutely impossible.
Ji Shengping really doesn't understand why the emperor refuses to canonize King Ling as the crown prince, King Ling is a son-in-law, benevolent, righteous and studious, and is the best candidate for the king of Pi Kingdom, Ji Shengping In order to make His Royal Highness King Ling become the crown prince and take over Pi Kingdom, he completely disregarded his life and threatened the emperor again: "What if Ji wants to do crazy things today?" ”
"You dare!" The emperor said angrily, but after looking at Ji Shengping's eyes as if he were at home, the emperor shrank his neck in horror, and his body was close to the wall, for fear that Ji Shengping would kill him.
"Manager Cui, save me, save me."
Cui Mao stepped forward and stood in front of Ji Shengping, "Ji Zhongling, don't scare the emperor, you won't hurt the emperor at all, why do you have to make such a move to force the emperor?" ”
"How do you know I don't dare? The rabbit is anxious and bites. Ji Shengping said.
Cui Mao still had a calm face, and said in a calm voice: "If Ji Zhongling is really anti-against the emperor, why should he enter the palace alone and bargain with the emperor with Cui Yan's handwritten letter to General Wei?" If Cui didn't guess wrong, you didn't plan to show this letter to General Wei at all, did you? ”
It is not surprising that his mind was guessed by Cui Mao, the reason why Ji Shengping dared to stand up and take risks was precisely because the emperor was unreliable, at least there was a Cui Mao who could distinguish between major matters by his side, Cui Yan fell, didn't he come out of the mountain exactly what Cui Mao suggested to the emperor?
The emperor wanted to control the government, but he did nothing but kill loyal ministers, for the foundation of the Pi country, the people, as long as he could make His Royal Highness King Ling the crown prince, what was he afraid of in life and death, how to force the palace, and what about being hated by the emperor? He has been a loyal minister of the Ji family for generations.
"If the emperor still refuses to appoint His Royal Highness King Ling as the crown prince, Chief Cui, do you think I will give this letter to General Wei?"
"Believe." Cui Mao nodded in approval.
"What do you believe, I will kill him now, and then destroy this letter, and see how he shows Wei Lin." The emperor was so angry that he stiffened his neck.
Ji Shengping looked at the emperor, with a sneer on his face, and then his eyes moved to Cui Mao, Cui Mao said helplessly: "Your Majesty, even if we can kill Ji Zhongling in the palace and burn this letter, Cui Yan is not dead, and ......"
Cui Mao paused and continued: "Cui Yan is already ready to move in the eastern Zhouzhou. ”
"Cui Yan? Cui Yan, he's going to bring someone to fight against me? As soon as the emperor heard that Cui Yan was going to rebel, he was so frightened that he didn't know what to do.
"So Your Majesty, do you still want to kill me? If I die, there will be no one in this world to restrain General Wei, if Cui Yan sends someone to the south to tell the emperor what he has done, and let Wei Lin and him rebel against the emperor, how sure do you think you can fight against the two of them? ”
The emperor was speechless, no wonder this old man Ji dared to boldly run to the palace to blackmail him, it turned out that he had already found out that Cui Yan was going to rebel in Caizhou.
The emperor who was blackmailed was very unconvinced, "Okay, I will make King Ling the crown prince, you get out." ”
"Then please ask the emperor to write a holy decree, and then the old minister will get out." How could he leave without receiving the decree.
"You ......" The emperor was so angry that Ji Shengping blew his beard and glared, "Then you help me hold up the table, how can I write the holy decree without the table?" ”
"Yes!" Ji Shengping went to help the imperial table that was overturned by the emperor, and Cui Mao went to help him.
Seeing that Cui Mao was so attentive to this old man Ji, a thought flashed in his heart, today's event is not the double reed sung by Cui Mao and Old Man Ji, right?
Is there really no one around him who is faithful to him?
The emperor was suddenly a little sad and angry, he was so good to them, but these people all wanted to oppose him, damn, these people all deserved to die.
After writing the holy decree, the emperor stamped the seal, and threw the holy decree to Ji Shengping, "Get out." ”
After Ji Shengping checked the holy decree, he saluted the emperor: "The old minister retires!" ”
The emperor sat on the dragon chair and got angry, Cui Mao walked over, "The emperor takes care of the dragon body, in fact, it is a good thing to make His Royal Highness King Ling the crown prince." "Electronic Chinese Network
"What's good?" The emperor bounced, and his voice roared: "After setting up King Ling, are you waiting for Old Man Ji and Wei Lin to lead troops to force the palace?" ”
"No, it won't." Cui Mao said to the emperor in a good voice: "His Royal Highness King Ling is filial, although Ji Shengping is dissatisfied with His Majesty, but the Ji family has been loyal for generations, he will never do anything to kill the king and force the palace, otherwise he will not enter the palace alone, but just ask the emperor to appoint His Royal Highness King Ling as the crown prince." ”
"Didn't you see his attitude towards me just now? The look in his eyes...... It's like killing me. As soon as the emperor thought of Ji Shengping's cruel gaze, his heart was furious, and he felt like there was a knife on his neck that someone was going to cut his throat at any time.
"He was also angered by the emperor at that time, if he really dared to be unfavorable to the emperor, how could the old slave care." Cui Mao's voice was still calm, "Your Majesty, in fact, it is best for you to establish His Royal Highness King Ling as the crown prince, the emperor thinks, the people of Pi Country today are not living well under Cui Yan's governance, and wars are raging, the emperor wants to get rid of this evil tumor for the country and the people, but he escaped, Cui Yan is an old slave who knows better than anyone else, he has soldiers in his hands, and he will definitely come back, Ji Zhongling has the talent to govern the world, Wei Lin has the ability to command the army, with the two of them, Pi Guo will not be able to cause chaos, and Ji Zhongling also understands in his heart that if Wei Lin knows the truth thirty years ago, it will not be good for Pi Guo. ”
"Ji Zhongling wants to support~ hold King Ling, let him support~ hold, now Pi is worried about domestic and foreign troubles, just hand it over to them to clear the chaos, and the emperor can also be happy."
After listening to Cui Mao's words, the emperor tasted the product carefully, patted his thigh and said: "Yes, if they like to take care of me, let them take care of it, I still don't want to take care of these headaches every day, okay, let them take care of it, it just so happens that I am also tired of listening to those old men chattering in my ear every morning, let King Ling go tomorrow, and I will be happy to be idle in the future." ”
Cui Mao saw that the emperor had 'figured it out', and suddenly changed from angry to happy, and he couldn't tell what it was like in his heart.
An Ran's family set up a banquet for their daughter Lin Xue, and set up dozens of tables in the village, and the originally quiet remote village in the deep mountain village is more lively today than the market, not only the beggars in a radius of dozens of miles also come to beg for a piece of the pie, and even the cats and dogs also come to join in the fun and taste a fresh.
An Ran saw that there were many beggars, his face was a little heavy, Lin Jie saw that his niece seemed unhappy, so he said: "It's okay, let them eat, our family can't afford to eat this meal, so we should accumulate blessings and do good deeds for our Xue'er." ”
"Second uncle, I'm not unhappy to see these beggars come to eat, I just think that in today's war era, how many families are ruined and hungry, do we need to do something?" Enron said.
"What do you want to do? The second uncle supports ~ supports you. "Wei Lin is the general of the southern border, guarding the people of the southern border, and as Wei Lin's second uncle, he is fully supporting~ the heart of this nephew and niece to protect the territory and the people.
An Ran smiled at the second uncle, said thank you, and then said: "Although the second uncle has more than a dozen silk villages, but it is still far from enough to support ~ holding such a huge border, listen to Brother Gu, the court has not issued a single military sound for several months, if it weren't for the fact that these soldiers were all old subordinates of General Situ, and they admired Wei Lin very much, I am afraid that the southern border has long been chaotic, and now Wei Lin has incorporated Liu Han and two generals, and the number of soldiers in the southern border has increased to more than 100,000 people, how can our family's silver be enough to support such a huge expenditure?" ”
"Yes, if you say that, our family can't support it." Lin Jie was also worried.
"Second uncle don't have to worry." An Ran said with a smile: "The matter of the military sound in the south, I don't think we need to worry about it, isn't there still Ji Lao in the capital?" He will definitely fight with the emperor for the army. ”
"In that case, what do you mean by bringing this up?" Lin Jie was stunned by his niece.
"At that time, I was still a little worried in my heart, worried about Ji Lao, worried that the emperor would insist on going his own way, and he would have to convict Wei Lin. Enron had to plan for the worst, "But I still choose to believe in Ji Lao." ”
"So you want to plan ahead?" Lin Jie heard what his niece meant.
"Yes, second uncle, I want to store grain for us in the south, at least three months." The military sound is not important, the important thing is that if you really have to reverse the time one day, the food is the most important.
Lin Jie understood, "Wan'er, leave this matter to the second uncle, and the second uncle will definitely help you store more than three months of food." ”
"In this way, it will be hard for the second uncle."
"What are your uncles and nephews talking about here?" Wei Lin saw that the lady and the second uncle were muttering for a long time, so he came up and asked.
"Let's talk about planning ahead." Lin Jie said.
"Huh?" Wei Lin looked at An Ran, "The lady is thinking about the future for her husband again." ”
"Yes, you have a lot of military affairs every day, and the placement of 100,000 troops is enough for you to be busy, as your wife, I want to help you take care of food, clothing, housing and transportation." An Ran said with a smile.
"Lady's ......" Wei Lin was moved in his heart, and he didn't know how to express it for a while.
Lin Jie thought that Wei Lin was a little shy when he saw him, so he patted Wei Lin on the shoulder: "You and your wife are talking, I'll go over there to say hello." ”
An Ran saw that Wei Lin's eyes were full of tenderness and distress, and couldn't help laughing, "Why are you moved by me again?" Look at you, that's it. ”
Wei Lin was not good at words, and he couldn't say what he wanted to say, so he had to say: "I just received a message from Ji Lao's flying pigeon." ”
"Oh?" An Ran asked, "Can you find the letter that Xiao Zi said?" ”
Wei Lin shook his head, "No." ”
"That was probably taken away by Xiao Zi again, and it probably wasn't a big deal." An Ran saw that Wei Lin's face was a little abnormal, so he asked, "What's wrong?" Wouldn't it make you so excited if your daughter had a full moon wine? ”
"Lady, I have good news for you, the emperor has made King Ling the crown prince, and my order has been revoked."
"That's a good thing." His Royal Highness King Ling is the crown prince, so she doesn't need to prepare three months of grain storage, right?
