Chapter 519: Jiangnan Rebellion
The rebellion of Lu Meng and Wei Qi was under the banner of Lin Zhizhi, the king of Jinling County.
"Why should Lu and Wei serve His Royal Highness the King of the County as the master?" Pei Ji asked lightly.
Lin Zhizhi hooked his lips, took out something from his sleeve, spread it out in his palm, and said, "With this!" β
Lin Jiaruo glanced at it and almost screamed.
"Talisman!" Gambofu's face was full of shock.
Although Lin Shisheng had never seen this thing, he could guess it when he saw the current situation, and he couldn't help but look a little strange: "This is the talisman of the Jingnan Army?" β
"Yes!" Lin Zhizhi said, giving Lin Jiaruo a look.
Lin Jiaruo hurriedly stepped forward, took the talisman from his palm, and presented it to Lin Shisheng.
"After the Jingnan military talisman disappeared from the hands of the former King of Liangning, it has been in the hands of Princess Rong'an, and after the death of Princess Rong'an, it fell into the hands of Zhichen-" Lin Zhizhi said unhurriedly, "In the first year of Jianlong, the ministers were in charge of Jiangnan at the behest of His Majesty, and it was through the military talisman in Zhichen's hand that the Jingnan Army except for Lu Meng and Wei Qi was collected!" β
Lin Shisheng looked at the talisman placed on the imperial case, and asked slowly: "This talisman has always been in your hand?" β
"It's not!" Lin Zhizhi, "This talisman is a relic of Princess Rong'an, after the minister used it, it was returned to Zhichen, after receiving an urgent report from Jiangnan today, before entering the palace, the minister and Zhichen will meet!" β
Lin Shisheng looked up at him: "From the first year of Jianlong to the present, the talisman has been in the hands of Zhichen?" β
Lin Zhizhi nodded: "Yes!" β
Pei Ji hooked his lips and said, "The King of Jinling County is really high-spirited!" β
Lin Zhizhi smiled and said: "It's not a high wind and bright festival, it's just that time has changed, and the military talisman of the front beam has no longer worked in the Great Zhou Dynasty, otherwise wouldn't there be a big mess among the people?" β
"That's right!" Lin Jiaruo suddenly said loudly.
She glanced at Pei Ji lightly, turned to the unpredictable look of the Son of Heaven after the imperial case, and said in a clear voice: "Last year, when I went south with the king of Jinling County, I met the rebellion of Sima Chao, the governor of Shenzhou, and then the poison and assassination of Lu Shourong, the governor of Huangzhou, and Wei Qi was even more unblind, almost causing Wei Changhuai to die of serious injuries!" β
"Now that Lu Meng and Wei Qi are openly rebelling, how can they ever put the talisman in their eyes?" Her expression is calm, and her attitude is clear at a glance.
Lin Shisheng picked up the talisman on the table, looked at it, threw it to Lin Zhizhi, and said, "Since it is a relic of Princess Rong'an, let's return it to Zhichen!" β
Lin Zhizhi smiled slightly, and still put the talisman back into his sleeve.
Wei Xuancheng frowned when he looked at it, and said aggressively: "I heard that the rebel general supports the king of Jinling County, and it is not just the soldier talisman that relies on it!" β
Lin Zhizhi said with a smile: "Wei Zhongshu must have already read the folds sent by Jiangnan, why don't you present it in person?" β
Wei Xuancheng did have a book in his arms, and since he had debunked it, he presented it with a cold face.
Lin Shisheng took a quick look, frowned at Lin Zhizhi, and asked in a deep voice, "Do you still have a jade seal?" β
Lin Zhizhi bowed deeply to him and said, "The talisman was indeed shown to Lu and Wei, but the jade seal-" He paused slightly, "I am in the capital, and there is no soldier around me, how can Lu and Wei support it?" β
Lin Jiaruo saw that Lin Shisheng was silent, and his heart was anxious, and said: "It's a soldier talisman and a jade seal, Lu Meng and Wei Qi clearly want to force the eldest brother to death, so that Jiangnan will return to a situation where no one can touch it!" β
"Daddy, you know, in those years, the six surnames in Jiangnan went their own way, and the Jingnan Army had received the emperor's order!"
Pei Jidao: "The king of the county has been in charge of Jiangnan for three years, and the Jingnan Army has never received the emperor's order!" β
Lin Jiaruo glared angrily: "So do you want to replace you Pei Ji?" Don't forget that the seeds sown in the spring of Guanzhong this year are all from the Jiangnan Grain Depot! β
"That's it!" Lin Shisheng finally spoke and glanced at Pei Ji warningly.
Pei Ji lowered his head and took a step back.
"It's just a chaotic party!" Lin Shisheng concluded this dispute with one sentence, his eyes swept over the people in the hall in turn, and said slowly, "The king of Jinling County is my own nephew, I am naturally trustworthy, don't let me hear the words slandering the king of Jinling County in the future!" β
At this point, it was over, His Majesty the Emperor waved his hand, and the ministers retreated one after another.
Lin Jiaruo was about to leave, when he suddenly heard him shout: "Ah Ruo stay!" I couldn't help but "chuckle" in my heart.
When everyone was gone, Lin Shisheng walked over quickly, looking at her sternly.
"You didn't say anything about Lu Shourong's poisoning!"
Lin Jiaruo was stunned and remembered.
Lu Shourong made trouble, she mentioned it in the letter, because she was afraid that Lin Shisheng would be worried, so she didn't mention the poisoning, but only said that Lu Shourong couldn't please Lin Zhizhi, but instead had a dislike and tried to be unfavorable to them.
Just now, I accidentally said that I missed my mouth.
I had to tell the story as it was and in detail.
ββ¦β¦ The eldest brother has just taken charge of Jiangnan, and there are still many people who are not convinced, and the head of the Lu family is also holding a wait-and-see attitude, so he will make such a scene-" Lin Jiaruo smiled mockingly, "The attitude of the head of the Lu family is ambiguous and repeated, no wonder there is chaos now!" β
"What about Webster? Not convinced? Lin Shisheng asked, "Wei's is related to him!" β
Lin Jiaruo said: "It's not that the Wei family is dissatisfied, it's that the internal talents are withering, and the power falls on Wei Qi, who is broad and talented, as long as Gan Mingcong and Wei Changhuai return to Suzhou, it will not be difficult for Wei Qi to break throughββ"
Her eyes suddenly flashed, she leaned in front of Lin Shisheng, and whispered: "Daddy, the Wei family sent Wei Changhuai and Gan Mingcong back, and the Lu family wants to do the same?" β
Lin Shisheng thought thoughtfully: "You mean Lu Yunque?" Can he do it? β
"If it works, you'll find out if you try it!" Lin Jiaruo said, "The grandson of the Lu family only has one son and one daughter, and Lu Cang is controlled, Lu Yunque, as Lu Cang's eldest grandson, shouldn't he do something?" β
Lin Shisheng glanced at her, and seemed to smile: "Just ask your eldest brother to send a letter to Lu Yunque, why bother to ask me?" β
Lin Jiaruo's heart was cold, and then he pressed it down and said, "Lu Yunque once bypassed the eldest brother to show favor to me - Daddy, Lu Yunque is loyal to the Great Zhou court!" β
Lin Shisheng looked her up and down, and said with a smile: "Silly girl, he wants to be a big Zhou horse!" β
β¦β¦
When he walked out of the Zichen Palace, he was greeted by a young man in a light crimson official uniform, who was Xie Youqing, who had gone out to announce the decree before, and it seemed that he had come back to reply to the decree.
Lin Jiaruo nodded at him lightly, not planning to talk to him.
However, just as she turned her head and left, Xie Youqing called out to her.
"I heard that Her Royal Highness the princess is a little similar to a slave girl of the Rong people?" Xie Youqing's voice was gentle, with a hint of sincere doubt.
Lin Jiaruo turned to look at him.
His expression was consistent with his tone, and his doubts were very sincere, without a hint of malice.
