Ministry of War.
A middle-aged man wearing a third-grade official uniform shouted sternly: "How could your Majesty allow the Northern Liang Army to enter the city?"
"According to my laws of Daxia, the vassal king can only be equipped with three thousand guards when he travels. They must not enter the city, let alone be stationed within thirty miles of the county town."
"Lin Xi is just a prince, how can he be equipped with guards according to the specifications of the vassal king, and even allow him to be stationed in the capital of a country!"
"This is simply a waste of care for our ancestors..."
"presumptuous!"
"Your Majesty's Holy Judgment, how can you discuss this in private?"
The left minister of the Ministry of War scolded, and the whole place fell into silence. Only the third-rank civil servant was still aggrieved.
After a while, everyone left.
Geng Wenzhong, Minister of the Ministry of War, and Tian Yu, the right servant of the Ministry of War, simultaneously picked up their teacups and took a sip.
Geng Wenzhong glanced in the direction of the palace, frowned and said, "It seems that the one from Beiliang is really pretending to be sick."
Tian Yu smiled slightly after hearing this: "It should be so. If it were not for pretending to be ill, His Majesty would not have retreated again and again. Now he has even agreed to Huwei Camp's entry into the city."
Having said this, Tian Yu smiled and shook his head, a trace of respect flashed in his eyes: "This old man is really tolerant."
"For decades, I knew everything in my heart, but I just kept it to myself and didn't say anything. Furthermore, I gave others military power and played tricks on them."
"It was at a critical moment that he sent out the wrong news. Tsk tsk tsk. I admire you. I admire you. This is such a good move."
After hearing this, Geng Wenzhong sighed softly: "Our Majesty is not too generous. You must know that the old man's illness is real, and the old wounds have not healed, and new ones have been added."
"Afterwards, that person even sent us the exact news, but our Majesty is still as stable as a rock, pretending that he doesn't know anything at all."
"If someone hadn't held back, the old man's injuries might have been in vain."
Tian Yu nodded slightly after hearing this.
But both of them knew that in this round, the King of Liang won.
Because Lin Zhen's plot was never about the emperor alone, but all the members of the royal family, and even everyone in the imperial capital.
In fact, it doesn't matter whether the emperor takes action or not. As long as someone takes the bait, he wins.
…
royal palace.
Outside the Imperial Study Room.
Dozens of courtiers were kneeling in the courtyard. Although they were covered in sweat from the sun, they remained motionless.
As time passed, several older people fell down one after another, and the remaining young people were also swaying and looking pale.
at this time.
A great eunuch in red clothes with sharp eyes came from a distance with a calm expression and said softly: "You don't have to wait any longer."
"Your Majesty is not feeling well today and has no time to see you."
After hearing this, the ministers raised their heads with sorrowful expressions.
"Your Majesty!"
"There has never been a precedent for a vassal king to enter the city with his troops!"
"This case must not be opened!"
"Yes, Your Majesty, Lin Xi, the crown prince of Prince Liang, has been extremely naughty and debauched since he was a child. If the Beiliang Xiaoqi helps him, he will definitely make the imperial capital restless!"
"Your Majesty, please take back your order and instead order the Huwei Camp to be stationed outside the city, and send the Forbidden Army to strictly guard it. You are not allowed to go out without permission!"
"Your Majesty, ministers, second your proposal!"
"Your Majesty, please think twice!"
One roar after another, the voice was hoarse.
After listening, the eunuch in red narrowed his eyes and turned around with a sneer: "Your Majesty has a decree to prepare tea and snacks for all of you, and add a few more beddings. There are many mosquitoes at night, and light some incense."
The little eunuchs listening around quickly bowed: "No."
…
the other side.
As soon as he entered the city, the old drunkard stared at Lin Xi with his big shining eyes.
Lin Xi's mouth twitched. He sighed helplessly: "Hey, you have to give me some time to arrange for Xiao Zhan and the others, right?"
The old drunkard's body trembled slightly when he heard this: "What's the plan?"
"Don't they know where Prince Liang's Mansion is?"
"Little baby! Do you still need to take me home?"
Outside the carriage, Xiao Zhan twitched his mouth and his face was dark. She was a little girl, and she was almost thirty years old.
Lin Xi was speechless after hearing this, and spread her hands helplessly: "Okay, okay."
"Xiao Zhan, you heard it too."
"Take them back by yourself."
Xiao Zhan was about to reply, but unexpectedly Lin Xi opened the curtain and said, "By the way, remember to tell Uncle Fu to prepare some food and wine for the brothers to catch the wind and wash away the dust."
"Don't save money for me. My prince lacks everything except money. Remember that."
After hearing this, Xiao Zhan turned around and said with a serious face: "Your Highness, please forgive me for not being able to obey the general's orders."
"Your Majesty sent us to the capital to protect His Majesty the Crown Prince. How could we leave our post without permission and leave the Crown Prince alone to return home alone?"
Lin Xi smiled crookedly after hearing this, lifted up the gauze curtain by the window and waved.
Xiao Zhan hurriedly came forward, but unexpectedly, a big hand grabbed his helmet, and a scolding sounded in his ears, which made stars pop out of his head.
"Are you stupid?"
"Don't you want to enjoy the blessing?"
"Besides, I am warning you that after entering the capital, you must obey my orders from now on!"
"Doesn't Lin Zhen's military order include this one?"
Xiao Zhan blushed after hearing this, lowered his head and said angrily: "Yes... yes..."
Lin Xi laughed angrily when she heard this.
"Humph, you still talk so much nonsense!"
Speaking of this, Lin Xi looked at the soldiers of the Huwei Camp around him and said softly: "Also, do you really think Lin Zhen asked you to protect me?"
Xiao Zhan was slightly startled after hearing this: "This... apart from protecting His Highness the Crown Prince, the prince didn't say anything else."
Lin Xi's cheeks twitched, and she said with a look of hatred, "That's it, forget it with your brain."
Xiao Zhan:? ? ? ? ? Hey, why don’t you forget this!
Lin Xi looked in the direction of the palace and said with a smile: "You should relax when you go back. You should eat and drink when you should."
"After you've eaten and drank enough, let me go out for a walk."
Xiao Zhan had questions in his head and asked in confusion: "Shopping? Where to go? What to go shopping for?"
Lin Xi sighed helplessly: "Wander around as you like. You can go wherever you want."
"Just remember one thing, don't save money for me, and don't be afraid of trouble. Just buy whatever you like, eat whatever you want, and do whatever you want."
"The days to come will be the same. There is no food for you in the house. If you are hungry, go to a restaurant by yourself. If you are thirsty, go to a restaurant by yourself. If you miss a woman, then go to the brothel to find a girl."
"Do you understand?"
Xiao Zhan glared with bull's eyes and nodded stupidly.
"Well, the last general..."
Before he finished speaking, a "Get out of here!" was heard, and the carriage sped away.
Three Thousand Huwei Camp, you looked at me, I looked at you, they were all stunned.
Xiao Zhan twitched the corner of his mouth, looked at the soldiers behind him, and said helplessly: "Didn't you hear what the prince said?"
"Go back home and collect the money!"
