The wife is the king of the palace

Chapter 78 That's enough.

Because of Xu Jun's departure, Xu Lan had a temper for several days, during which time people asked secretly how Xu Jun was doing, and even Lin Xu secretly checked for him several times.

Xu Jun adapted very quickly in the army, he performed beyond everyone's expectations, and soon gained a firm foothold in the army, getting along well with the soldiers in the army.

Not only that, because of Xu Jun's appearance, the military pay at the border, which was the most headache for Jin Qi and Lin Xu, was relieved because Xu Jun led people to open up wasteland, and Jin Qi couldn't help but appreciate it.

Xu Jun left for a long time, and when Lin Xu saw him again, it was Xia Wei half a year later.

After the spring came, the floods came as promised, which also caused chaos in the DPRK and China, especially regarding Jingshan City. The DPRK and China not only allocated a large amount of disaster relief funds, but even transferred part of the stored food to the army.

After the most chaotic month passed, all floods were under control. Lin Xu and Jin Qi also followed the previous discussion and asked General Ghost Face to go to Jingshan City to relieve the disaster, and at the same time secretly investigate the disaster situation.

The ghost-faced general lived up to expectations. At the end of summer, news came that the reason for the floods that occurred every year had been found out. At the same time, it also brought evidence that Jin Qi intended to judge the country for treason.

Seeing the evidence sent by General Ghost Face, Jin Qi and Lin Xulian's faces were quite ugly. They had already guessed that the flood should be related to Xia Guo, but they didn't know the specific reason. will be like this.

No matter how you say it, Jin Yi is the blood of the Dayu royal family, he is the prince of Dayu. No one thought that he would be collaborating with the enemy and treason, and even deliberately planned to cause floods, and then took the opportunity to seek relief funds, and then sent the money to Xia Guo He wanted to use Xia Guo's power to force Jin Qi to abdicate.

Seeing those evidences, Jin Qi was furious immediately, and only regretted that he didn't directly behead Jin Yi at the vegetable market, but let him live for so many years.

General Ghost Face's investigation has made progress, and it is naturally impossible for Chaozhong to do nothing. After the news and evidence were sent back to Chaozhong, Lin Xu immediately packed his bags.

Knowing that Lin Xu was going, although Jin Qi was a little reluctant, he still didn't stop it, and Lin Xu was none other than Lin Xu.

Lin Xu set off for Jingshan City, and the carriage could only leave the city. Lin Xu discovered that the person driving the carriage was not the guard arranged by Jin Qixin by his side, but Xu Lan who came in disguise.

Xu Lan originally wanted to come here too. After all, besides Xu Jun who went to Jingshan City with General Ghost Face, his eldest son was also on duty in Jingshan City. This is a rare opportunity to reunite.

Xu Lan had asked Jin Qi for orders before, but Jin Qi used the excuse that there was still a disaster relief matter in the court and did not allow it, in retaliation for him going to the prime minister's mansion to pester Lin Xu every day.

The two set off, and as soon as they arrived at Jingshan City, before Xu Lan could get off the carriage, he caught a glimpse of Xu Jun running past him.

Speaking of it, Lin Xu and Xu Junna can't be regarded as meeting, they can only be regarded as a quick glance.

Because of Jin Yi's affairs, when Lin Xu went to Jingshan City, he and Xu Lan hurriedly caught a glimpse of Xu Jun running past them with a ghost-faced general not far from Yi Wang's mansion.

Seeing Xu Jun, Xu Lan immediately chased after him, but Lin Xu didn't go there, but stayed behind to deal with Jin Yi's affairs in secret.

The relief food that Xu Jun and the others transferred from the army was sent here, and after investigating the matter of Jin Yi, they returned to the border soon after, but Lin Xu did not leave.

He has gained a lot in this line of work. In addition to finding out how many people Jin Yi has under him and how many forces are involved in the court, he also caught the eyeliner lurking around Jin Qi. Easy to connect people.

After finding conclusive evidence and finding out what he wanted to investigate, Lin Xu immediately took down Jinyi.

Jin Yi is naturally dissatisfied. Over the years, he has secretly recruited many forces, most of whom are people from the Jianghu. If he changed someone, Jin Yi might have run away, but he didn't get much favor from Lin Xu. .

Lin Xu originally planned to take Jin Yi back to the palace, but things backfired, and Jin Yi died on the way.

It was Jin Qi who sent someone to do it. Lin Xu knew it, but he didn't stop it.Jin Yi seems to have noticed Jin Qi's identity, if he really brought him back to the palace

In the middle, I am afraid that there will be more troubles.

Jin Yi's crimes are enough for him to go to ten times and a hundred times. Although Lin Xu regretted that he was not allowed to die under the criminal law, Lin Xu was not so determined to achieve his goal in the end.

When Jinyi's affairs ended and the disaster situation stabilized, it was already the end of autumn, and the weather had gradually turned cold. The first heavy snow was about to fall.

Jingshan City was diverted by Jin Qi without authorization, so that although there were no cut corners, the embankment, which was not enough to withstand the torrent that increased every spring when the snow melted, began to be rebuilt under the personal supervision of Su Fanyi from the Ministry of Industry.

Both Lin Xu and Jin Qi were very surprised that the embankment was diverted without authorization. They had thought about thousands of reasons before, but they didn't expect it to be because of this.

Lin Xu, who had been struggling with this matter for a long time, also breathed a sigh of relief. If it weren't for someone who is proficient in this way, he really wouldn't be able to see the embankment burst caused by the diversion.

When the disaster relief work was over, Lin Xu thought it was over, but he didn't want to. Not long after, this matter was revealed again.

After King Jin's house was confiscated, a group of people gathered in Jingshan City to plot rebellion in the name of Jin Yi.

When the news reached the palace, the group of people in Jingshan City had already gathered to a certain extent, and the rebel army gathered by thousands of people made it impossible for everyone in the court to ignore it.

What's more, the slogans shouted by those rebels were still slogans that questioned Jin Qi's true identity.

The rebels claimed that Jin Qi was not of royal blood, but was born of an affair with his biological mother, and that the ghost-faced general guarding the border was the child born behind his biological mother.

Neither Jin Qi nor Lin Xu had thought of this, nor did they expect that Jin Yi had already found out to that extent, and even guessed that Jin Qi might not be of royal blood.

It was related to Jin Qi's identity, and this matter quickly became a hot topic among the common people, even if Jin Qi deliberately suppressed it, it would have no effect.

As the matter spread, the number of rebels increased exponentially, and in just two months they had gathered as many as [-] people.

Seeing that things were getting out of hand, Jin Qi also had to take action.

He ordered the garrison led by Mr. Xu Lan who was stationed near Jingshan City to wipe out the rebel army, but those people realized their intention to escape secretly early on, leaving Xu Ming in vain.

In the next few months, Jin Qi kept trying to wipe out those people, but the effect was minimal. On the contrary, after the news that Jin Yi had a son in the rebel army leaked, the voice of the rebel army increased even more.

The people were in chaos, and they all speculated about the authenticity of this matter, and the court did not get any better. Many people looked at Jin Qi with doubts.

Jin Qi had been suppressed by power before, and his style of behavior was quite cold-blooded and strong. Naturally, there were many officials in the court who were afraid of him. After the rebel army became stronger and stronger, the atmosphere in the court became a bit weird.

Not only in the court, but also in the border area, because the ghost-faced general was involved, the atmosphere in the army gradually became weird.

Seeing things gradually fermenting and developing in an uncontrollable direction, Jin Qi, who has been holding on, gradually showed signs of fatigue.

He became busy, and he would immediately go back to the royal study to revise the memorial every day after the morning court. Not only other officials in the court were rejected in private, but even Lin Xuxulan was no exception.

The matter of Jin Qi's identity was exposed. Although it is still a guess without evidence, the pressure is not less on him, making him almost out of breath.

Lin Xu tried to understand, but after being rejected twice in a row, Lin Xu gave the newly promoted chief eunuch a cold look, jumped up with all his might, climbed over the wall and walked towards the imperial study with great strides.

Lin Xu's skill was invincible, and those who tried to stop him were all thrown out by his acupuncture points.

When he broke into the imperial study, Jin Qi was correcting memorials in the imperial study.It could be seen that he was in a bad mood, his brows were tightly furrowed, and his face was full of hostility.

"What's so noisy?" Jin Qi asked without raising his head.

"Is your majesty out of your mind?" Lin Xu entered the door.

When Jin Qi heard Lin Xu's voice, his body froze, he raised his head in astonishment, and instinctively shrunk his neck when he saw Lin Xu's face full of anger.

At this moment, the guards outside the door also rushed in. Although Lin Xu was the prime minister and a celebrity in front of Jin Qi, it was impossible for the guards to pretend not to know that he broke into the imperial study like this.

"You all go down first." Jin Qi waved those people back.

Those people left, the door was closed, Jin Qi put down his pen and looked at Lin Xu, who was obviously angry in front of him, his momentum weakened, and he withered.

"Why are you here?" Jin Qi asked, his eyes wandered when he spoke, and he didn't dare to look at Lin Xu.

"I'm asking the emperor, didn't the emperor hear it?" Lin Xu rarely had a cold face.

Jin Qi was already weak, but when he saw Lin Xu angry, he felt even more guilty. He raised his head and glanced at Lin Xu's face secretly, before saying, "I'm fine."

Lin Xu narrowed his eyes slightly. Jin Qi was stared at by him, but he couldn't stand it for a moment, and explained obediently, he said: "You also know that the situation is becoming more and more uncontrollable now, and even many people in the court have begun to doubt , at a time like this, you'd better not get too close to me."

After Jin Qi finished speaking, before Lin Xu could speak, he immediately said again: "I knew you would be angry, so I didn't discuss it with you."

Jin Qi knew that he should discuss this matter with Lin Xu, but if he got too close to Lin Xu at this time, even if he suppressed this matter in the future, those gossips would definitely bring Lin Xu along.

Now he doesn't know whether Jinyi has conclusive evidence, and he doesn't know what the final result will be, so even if it's a [-] in [-] chance, even if it's really stupid, he doesn't want Lin Xu to be involved Come in.

Moreover, in the final analysis, this matter was not a false rumor, it was the fact. After the rumors questioning his identity spread, in addition to the pressure from the rebel army, this matter itself also made Jin Qi feel overwhelmed.

When he first came to the throne, he wiped out everyone with anger towards his father, concubine Li, and the forces of the Li family behind him. Afterwards, he has always been strong in order to stabilize his power. Other than that, he couldn't say anything in rebuttal.

He didn't have the emperor's life in the first place, even if he used tricks to become the emperor, he was nothing but a fake in the end.Perhaps, as those rebels said, he is still a fatuous and unreasonable king.

Lin Xu was already angry, but now after hearing Jin Qi's words, he became even more out of breath, "Are you disregarding human life?"

"What?" Jin Qi was taken aback for a moment, not understanding what Lin Xu's words meant.

"Is there any indiscriminate killing of innocent people? Is there any greed for pleasure regardless of the people? Is there any right to indulge in sensuality and disregard the life and death of the people?" Lin Xu asked again.

Jin Qi's eyes were full of doubts, and he didn't understand what Lin Xu meant.

Lin Xu didn't wait for an answer, frowned, and said in a low voice, "Answer me!"

"No, of course not." Jin Qi felt upset and his voice became louder.

"Then it's over!" Lin Xu was furious, "All these years you have killed people who deserved to be killed, and you have done a lot for Dayu. You really think that the common people are stupid and will not understand ? Do you really think they would be willing to let a collaborator and traitor be the emperor?"

"I..." Jin Qi looked at the angry Lin Xu with astonishment and shock on his face. It was the first time he saw Lin Xu so angry that he even uttered such a long sentence in a low voice.

"You are a good emperor, even if you are not of Dayu's royal blood, there is no doubt about it! At least I think so." Lin Xu slapped the table, Jin Qi was startled, and he sat up straight with his back tensed .

"So how long do you have to worry about yourself and feel depressed, are you really going to wait for those people to enter the capital?" Lin Xu asked again.

Lin Xu was angry and his tone was very stern, but Jin Qi's nose was sore when he heard the words. He raised his hand to cover his forehead to cover the expression on his face, not wanting Lin Xu to see it, but the trembling and hoarse voice betrayed him.

"I see, why are you so fierce..." Jin Qi's voice choked up, and he had to widen his eyes to hold back the almost gushing out of his heart.

mixed emotions.

When he was just sensible, his mother and concubine were thrown into limbo for having an affair with others, and then his father, Emperor Longyan, was furious, and he became unwelcome, and was tortured even more after being adopted by Concubine Li.

In those days, when he found out that he had a younger brother, he was really happy, but that joy was seeing his biological mother and concubine tie the scrawny child inside the house with an iron-faced head and an iron chain, raising him like a beast. When he was nearly ten years old and couldn't even walk or speak, he instantly turned into endless anger and killing intent.

At that time, he was still young and had no soldiers or power in his hands. It was he who cried and begged Xu Lan to make Xu Lan agree to help him. Later, the two of them secretly planned for many years to get everything they have now.

He went against the sky, killed his father and mother, and killed countless people. It's not that he likes to sit in this position that doesn't belong to him, but he has no other choice.

All along, he has been trying to be a good emperor, not because he wants to elute something and change anything, people killed by him will not be resurrected.

Just hearing that affirmative sentence from Lin Xu's mouth, Jin Qi's mental defenses built over the years collapsed instantly, and he couldn't explain why, but the depression and stress of the past few days disappeared in an instant.

He may not have royal blood, but he is a good emperor, at least in Lin Xu's eyes, and that is enough.
