Under the pressure of King Rui, the old ministers swallowed their saliva and stopped talking.

King Rui continued: "You think the country is rich, but do you know that the Great Han Kingdom to the north of us has been expanding its armaments, and our small countries to the east and west are merging vertically and horizontally, and the war may start immediately.

It was rare for the two tall and mighty generals to nod in unison.

A young official looked at the old minister's fear, and couldn't help but feel a fire in his heart, and said loudly: "Don't think that the emperor favors you, you can pretend to be loyal to the emperor, and you are not only planning for yourself? You are in charge of the country's financial power, our country's treasury is abundant, and you don't even carry out the 20-year celebration, what do you want to do with the money?"

There was a stunned boy who didn't know the severity of the roar, and the other courtiers were also a little bolder, and they all nodded and said: "His Royal Highness King Rui, the emperor just asked you to assist in the administration, not to let you succeed to the throne, why are you so domineering?"

Tobe Shangshu pouted his throat and objected: "Everyone, be cautious, His Royal Highness King Rui's statement is correct. The money in the treasury must be prepared for many expenditures such as national defense and livelihood projects. ”

The eldest princess, who had not spoken, couldn't help but say: "The emperor's decree is that King Rui will govern on his behalf, which means that he has full authority, and of course he can decide." ”

The young official was on the rise, and his mouth couldn't be contained: "The eldest princess favors His Royal Highness King Rui, everyone knows it. King Zhao, King Zheng, and King Zhong are all your cousins, why don't you see your favor? Could it be that because His Royal Highness King Rui is the most handsome, your relationship is better?"

"Bang-" An unsheathed sword flew straight over, nailed to the front of the young official, nailed the front of his shirt to the ground, the cold breath brushed the key parts between his legs, scared him into a sweat, he pointed at King Rui, and his words were incoherent: "You...... You...... Do?...... Isn't it...... Do you want to bully the weak?"

"You say, only this king has the emperor's permission to bring a sword to the court, what is this for?" King Rui sneered and said, "Is it so that I can use my sword at any time and cut off the mouths of some people who can't control it?"

"It is better to offend the emperor than to provoke King Rui!" The young officials only now understood the meaning of this sentence, why those old foxes did not directly confront King Rui. How could he provoke this big Buddha as soon as his mind was hot? His life was at stake! He trembled, and hurriedly kowtowed and pleaded: "King Rui forgives his sins, the eldest princess forgives his sins, and the little minister knows his mistake!"

The eldest princess roared: "Where is the Imperial Forest Army? insult the royal family, drag this person who doesn't know the severity of the matter out, and beat him to death with a stick!"

There was no minister to intercede for him, he knew that things were wrong, and shouted: "The eldest princess spares her life!"

At this time, the royal guards who came in a neat line walked up to the hall, and they stopped beside the minister, but they did not move, just waited for the order of King Rui. This iron-clad ruthless appearance silenced the courtiers.

After pondering for a moment, King Rui said: "Drag it down, confine yourself in the house for two months, and at the same time fine." ”

"Rui Wang ......," the eldest princess shouted disagree. This kind of punishment is too light, if you don't kill chickens and monkeys, how can you make these people surrender?

With a wave of King Rui's hand, the Imperial Forest Army had already dragged the young official away.

The other ministers sighed softly, King Rui was much more relaxed than His Majesty the Emperor and the eldest princess.

---

In the Ruiwang Mansion, when the lights are on.

Rui Wang, who was preoccupied, picked up the chopsticks, but he was not interested in the table of food in front of him, so he sighed and put down the chopsticks again.

He didn't have to turn his head, he also knew that the eldest princess had arrived.

"Why did you spare that open-mouthed little rabbit today?" questioned the eldest princess.

King Rui said tiredly, "He is not worth my killing." "Now that the emperor is seriously ill, he doesn't want to kill evil, he doesn't want the court situation to fluctuate, and he loses the emperor's blessings.

"He insulted us and had an ulterior relationship! This kind of nonsense rumor dared to be said on such a serious occasion in the court! I am not angry if I don't kill him. ”

"We do have an unknown connection, and it's not entirely wrong. Rui Wang said.

"But ......"

King Rui interrupted the eldest princess: "I don't want to discuss this issue anymore!

"I'm your mother, I'm here to see you, what is your attitude?" the eldest princess was displeased.

Rui Wang frowned: "Others don't know. You're so inattentive, that's why you have those rumors. ”

“......”

"Now that you've seen me, go back if you're fine. Save being seen by others, saying that we are a party, or that we have an unpredictable relationship. King Rui urged.

"Something!" the eldest princess sat down, stabilized her emotions, and asked her son, "What are you going to do?"

"What's going on?"

"Let me tell you straight, after Jin Ruikai died, if the throne was not passed to you, but to his playmates King Zheng or King Zhao, what are your plans?"

“......”

"You have a deep foundation in the court, in fact, you have more recognition from loyal and upright ministers than the two fools. In the army, General Zhennan fully supports you, and he and his subordinates have an army of 120,000 at their disposal. "The eldest princess has analyzed it very clearly, she is also a person who has been rolling in the court for twenty years.

King Rui looked at her for a while, and felt that the woman in front of him was becoming more and more strange, was this really the cheerful woman Le Yin that her father had in his heart? No, she was no longer Le Yin, but the old politician "Jin Le Yin". He asked slowly, "What are you going to do?"

"Naturally, it's for you, you're my only son!" the eldest princess said as a matter of course, "If the emperor passes on the throne to you, then it's enough, give King Zheng and King Zhao a feudal territory, and send them out, so as not to be an eyesore." However, if Jin Ruikai does not pass on the throne to you, then we can only use force. Whoever comes up with the edict of succession, we can all say that he usurped the throne, and the general's Zhennan army will come thousands of miles away, and it will be there in two days. ”

"It turns out that you planned it this way. Rui Wang said lightly. The emperor has always been able to see her plan clearly, but he never said anything, is it because of her mother, or because the emperor's goals happen to be the same as hers?

The eldest princess thought to herself, her son Jin Pinglu was too loyal and upright, and he didn't know how to be flexible, he was against dealing with the emperor, and even if she had any ideas, she couldn't tell him. Originally, he only wanted to deal with Jin Ruikai, but he didn't expect that the assassination and poisoning had just begun, and he was served in one pot. really underestimated Xiao Jingzi's eunuch, and actually found out her secret agent and two of her own people buried in the training center. Fortunately, that Jin Ruikai was a person who couldn't withstand the wind and rain, and when he was frightened, he was actually in a coma like his mother. Now that he has fallen, the two fools, King Zheng and King Zhao, think they have hope. So she originally wanted to deal with the emperor's deployment, just to deal with those two fools.
