Chapter 191: Hasty Incident
After I told Yin Linxi what Crane Qianqiu had said to me, he didn't show much surprise, as if he had already guessed it, but just told me not to mention it to anyone else casually, and then returned to normal.
In the court, the ministers were still in a heated discussion about Shen Xiao's sudden promotion to the prime minister of the prison state.
Then I saw that there were two situations around Shen Xiao, one was the wall grass that was eager to flatter him, and the other was the old stubborn who sneered at his background every day, and Shen Xiao didn't pay attention to the reactions of these people, but secretly asked Dugu Ao to find a way to clear up the discussion.
Within three days, the border pass suddenly came to the news that the Jin State had invaded the border, and the army had occupied the border city with the strength of a jackal.
Yes, some time ago, he was sent to the Jin State to discuss peace and succeeded, and he had just become a great hero, and the prime minister of the prison state who was in the limelight became the target of the court overnight, and everyone was accusing Shen Xiao, saying that the Jin State went back on its word and openly tore up the covenant after agreeing to negotiate peace, such a shameless behavior is really too unscrupulous, and the reason for the current situation is all because of Shen Xiao's dereliction of duty and great success.
So all kinds of ugly words in the court invaded like a tide for a while, and Shen Xiao didn't defend half a sentence after hearing it, but stared silently at the demented middle-aged man on the dragon chair with his eyes like a torch, and suddenly laughed for a long time.
"Ladies and gentlemen, instead of trying to put your hat on my head, you should think more about how to solve this matter in today's plan, otherwise if Xianyu is trampled, even if you have such good eloquence, there is no place for you to show it, after all, a dead man can't open his mouth."
For his unceremonious remarks, many old-fashioned people in the court jumped up in anger and angrily scolded Shen Xiao for daring to speak wildly in front of the emperor, which was simply ill-intentioned.
Shen Xiao ignored it, and after sneering, he turned the spearhead to Yin Linxi, who had been silent next to him, "The current battle situation is indeed not optimistic, I would like to hear the opinion of the second prince, after all, the second prince has not only dealt with political affairs with the emperor, but also has the experience of leading troops to fight, so according to your opinion, should we defend or attack now?" ”
In one sentence, there is no disguised provocation.
Yin Linxi quietly glanced at Yin Li, who was clenching his fists beside him, and raised his eyelids to look at the man in front of him with his chin raised high and his face full of happiness, and said with a smile, "Since Prime Minister Shen knows that I have experience in leading troops to fight, he must have made a decision now, so why do you still want to ask me?" ”
"That's not what I said," Shen Xiao took two steps forward in the direction of Yin Linxi, the peach blossom eyes with slight upturned eyes were blurred, and after the thin lips outlined a smile arc, his eyes were bent into the shape of a crescent moon, but the light in his eyes was indifferent and abnormal, which formed an extremely sharp contrast with the peerless face, "The second prince is shrewd and capable after all, otherwise the emperor would not give the close-fitting waist card to the second prince, Your Royal Highness the Seventh, don't you say?" ”
Another provocative remark.
Yin Li narrowed his eyes slightly, staring at Shen Xiao coldly, his fingers hidden in his sleeves clenched tightly, but he didn't answer Shen Xiao's words.
After a moment, Shen Xiao suddenly shook his sleeves without smiling, and said to the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty, "Now that the emperor's dragon health is not good, the Jin State took advantage of this occasion to tear up the alliance between the two countries, openly trample on my Xianyu mountains and rivers with iron hooves, and mutilate my Xianyu people with swords, it is really hateful, as the prime minister of the prison country enshrined by the emperor, I naturally dare not lose the grace of the saint at this juncture when the country is in danger, so in order to protect my Xianyu mountains and rivers and innocent people are safe, I think that it is the best policy to send troops to expel the thieves at this time, and the ministers can have objections?" ”
When the words fell, the military officials in the court immediately whispered, and after a while, someone stood up and said, "The ministers also feel that it is inevitable to send troops to defend our mountains and rivers, so General Qian Xu has rich combat experience and is the best candidate to lead the troops." ”
"Speaking of experience" Shen Xiao turned his eyes to look at Yin Linxi, "General Qian is certainly experienced in galloping the field, but the Jin army is menacing, this journey must be extremely dangerous, at this time, if the second prince, who also has experience in leading troops, can assist General Qian from the side, then our chances of victory will be much greater, I don't know what the second prince wants?" After all, this is a state affair, and I hope that His Highness will focus on the overall situation. ”
Shen Xiao raised the corners of his mouth slightly, and bowed slightly to Yin Linxi.
Yin Linxi looked at it coldly for a moment, and said with a smile, "Since Shen Xiang also said that this is a state matter, then I must be duty-bound." ”
"If you order troops tomorrow, the ministers will wait for Your Highness to come back in triumph."
Shen Xiao said, and the hundred officials behind him knelt on the ground in unison, repeating over and over again, "I wish His Royal Highness the Second Highness a victory, and a triumphant return, I wish His Highness the Second Highness a victorious and triumphant return."
Yin Linxi stood in place, looking at the officials kneeling down towards him in the hall, and suddenly there was a ripple in his heart, thinking that he had lived for more than twenty years until this moment he really understood what the mood was, not because he was about to go to the battlefield, but seeing that things were getting closer and closer to the direction he expected, the more he began to worry, he was worried about whether her situation would become dangerous because of his decision, if he could, he even wanted to put on his wings and fly to her, Not for anything else, just to see how she looks safe.
He didn't know if the decision he had made was the right one, and he didn't know what his stupid woman would think when she understood everything, but one thing was very clear in his heart, and that was that he must keep her and the child! No matter what the cost, there is only success and no failure!
And there is no room for error in this, so what should he do next?
Yin Linxi was a little distracted, and stood in place for a long time, until the sun set, and then returned to the mansion with the carriage.
At that time, the house was already in charge of the lamp, and when he dragged the snow-blue figure through the long corridor, I happened to sit on the rattan chair in the courtyard to enjoy the coolness, and Jing Yu had already prepared a table of food, and was leading the people in the house to place it on the stone table in front of me one by one.
"Girl, are you hungry? Why don't you eat it first? I've already let people keep His Highness's share! ”
Jing Yu handed over a pair of jade chopsticks, and then stared at me with a blank eye, a delicate little face full of anticipation.
I looked down and saw that the stomach was full of green oil on the exquisite dinner plate, and I couldn't help but feel sour, and an inexplicable discomfort rushed to my heart.
"What's the matter, girl? Why don't you eat it? ”
"Forget it!"
I put down my chopsticks with interest, and in a blink of an eye, I saw a long snow-blue figure standing by the corridor, looking in my direction with burning eyes.
So he was overjoyed, so he stood up with his eight-month-old belly and stepped forward in three steps and two steps, "Yin Linxi, you're back!" ”
Yin Linxi's eyes had a hint of complexity that had not yet dissipated, and he saw me moving with difficulty with ugly steps, and before I could walk to him, he hurriedly took the initiative to greet me.
"Yin Linxi"
Seeing the worried look on his face, I took advantage of the situation to "aggrieved" and grabbed his clothes and shook them.
Yin Linxi was stunned for a moment, and then pulled her thin pink lips and smiled gently, "What's wrong?" With this aggrieved look, who bullied you? ”
"Are we going bankrupt?" In order to exaggerate my grievances, I sniffed hard.
A trace of doubt crossed the beautiful face on the top of his head, "Bankrupt? ”
Yin Linxi turned his eyes and looked at the frightened feather who was pointing to the dinner plate not far away, crying and laughing, and immediately understood it in his heart, but he didn't show it.
"Where did Madame begin with this?"
"I'm going to eat meat!"
Wonderful!
