I Don’t Want To Be the Emperor

Chapter 12: Gold shines

 In the pool, there are lotus leaves in the fields, and fish play among the lotus leaves.

Lin Yi was bored and threw pebbles at the goldfish under the lotus leaf.

Not only were the fish not scattered, they swarmed towards the ripples created by the stones, thinking they were feeding.

After racking his brains, he still couldn't figure out the meaning of King Dai's words. And was it said to him alone, or along with the fourth, fifth, eighth, twelfth and others?

 Why did the king of Dai rush to establish a vassal state?

 The old emperor is in danger?

 The situation in Beijing is not right, should you run away first?

　　No, during the morning court meeting, the old emperor was still angrily scolding Honglu Temple for not doing things well. He had obviously won the battle against Saibei Wadan, but the negotiations were still so difficult! .

 Looks like there is still life to be had.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel sad for the prince. This life was too painful!

However, King Dai is right about one thing. Regardless of whether it is the Crown Prince, King Yong, or the Seventh Prince, whoever inherits the throne is not a good thing!

Especially King Yong. Although this guy looks kind and taciturn, he basically doesn't conflict with others and looks harmless.

However, Lin Yi knew that among the brothers, he was the most ruthless!

　　I can't tell if I'll really be able to beat them up in the future without even frowning!

Let’s not talk about the history he was familiar with in his previous life, but just talk about this world. It is too common for people to share the same roots!

Before Lin Xun succeeded to the throne, his biological mother was just a palace maid. Although her mother was later appointed as a selected attendant due to the wealth of her son, she was still so inconspicuous in the huge palace.

 Later he offended a noble concubine, and then he contracted an illness for no apparent reason and died.

Lin Xun has been working hard since he was a child, leading troops abroad and forming his own faction.

After he ascended the throne, he did not hesitate to chop up the five brothers who had looked down on him and bullied him when he was a child, leaving only one Liang King who supported him and made meritorious deeds.

 It was just that King Liang finally chose to rebel and surrendered himself to the Luo River after his defeat.

As for the concubines in his harem, except those who were friendly with his biological mother and had never met, they were all sent to the imperial mausoleum to be buried with him.

Not many days later, the Queen Mother also passed away. It is said that she was ill because of longing for the late emperor.

 The winner is the king and the loser is the bandit. This has been cruel since ancient times.

Since he couldn't figure out some of the things in front of him, he stopped thinking about them.

all will be good.

 In the evening, after the sun gradually dispersed, everyone from the Crown Prince, King Yong to the twelfth King Yong'an sent congratulatory gifts.

The most generous gift is the gift from the fourth prince Jin Wang, who is not short of money. Jade, agate, gold and silver jewelry, any calculation is two thousand taels of silver!

But no one was seen. They were all sent over by stewards and chamberlains from their respective houses.

 “This is a bit too much!”

Lin Yi didn’t understand why no one came except for the acting king.

  Anyway, there is nothing wrong with receiving so many gifts for nothing and saving a meal.

 At night, there were many mosquitoes, so Lin Yi did not sit outside for a long time. After a day of hard work, he felt quite sleepy, so he went to bed at about that time.

Hong Ying waited for Lin Yi to fall asleep, then exited the room and gently closed the two doors.

　　Looking at the stars in the sky, he flew over the courtyard wall without landing, and continued to cross the layers of houses, courtyards, and the huge wall of the south gate.

 Finally, we stayed in an inconspicuous manor in the suburbs.

The room was brightly lit, and with a push of his hand, the door creaked open.

 “Butler!”

Two people, one tall and one fat, were sitting in the room.

 Seeing Hong Ying come in, he quickly leaned over and handed over his hands.

After Hong Ying sat down in the middle seat, he took the tea from the tall young man and said calmly, "What time is it?"

 The tall young man cupped his hands and said, "Manager, it's past time for you to be ugly."

Hong Ying nodded and said, "Your Majesty will set off to join the feudal clan tomorrow. You should prepare."

"ah"

 The two people looked at each other after exclaiming.

The young man asked curiously, "Manager, why are you in such a hurry?"

Hong Ying snorted coldly, "Songcheng, this is the prince's decision, how can you control it?"

 “I don’t dare, little one.” The young man known as Song Cheng lowered his head and said nothing.

But the fat middle-aged man next to him hesitated for a while and couldn't help but said, "Manager, I said before that we would set off in half a month, but now in such a hurry, none of the brothers are ready."

"Arhat." Hong Yingmeng opened his eyes, "Don't forget your identity."

"Young man, I know." Arhat shuddered and lowered his head again.

 He ​​was originally just an ordinary cook in the prince's palace. Who knew that his proud cooking skills could not satisfy the prince.

The prince said that he had accumulated a lot of trouble and was determined, and he couldn't bear to drive him out of the palace, so he made him a watchman in the palace. Even if the thieves came, seeing how fat he was, he would have to weigh it, and if he was not sure, he would just stay away.

After working as a watchman, my income dropped a lot, but after all, I am a national civil servant with a formal establishment, so I would definitely be reluctant to throw it away casually.

 When I returned home, I told people that I was working in the palace, which was a great honor.

Working hours are very leisurely. The main thing is to hold a broken gong and drum while walking around the palace wall and shout a few times after arriving.

 He gradually had more time to practice, and under the guidance of Director Luo, he actually became a master!

Out of vanity, he was encouraged by the cook, maid, and gardener to perform the skill of breaking stones with one palm.

Just as the prince was passing by, he was shocked and told him that it could not be buried here. If it is gold, it must shine.

In this way, in a daze, he left the house and opened the Dongfeng Escort Agency.

Following the prince's instructions, he first purchased a bodyguard agency that was about to close down, and then paid a lot of money to hire outstanding police officers who had returned to their old age, and veterans of hundreds of battles at the border who had disarmed and returned to their fields to act as escorts.

After setting up the shelf, it was natural for me to become the first head of the family.

The **** industry in Ankang City has always been dominated by Cao Gang, Yan Gang, Jianghu people or disciples from famous sects. It is naturally difficult for a novice like him to enter the industry.

The cake is only so big. If one more person shares it, you will have one less bite to eat.

How could he, a watchman who had just stepped into the threshold of martial arts, be able to deal with those second- and third-grade masters from other **** bureaus, both as masters and as bodyguards?

Fortunately, with the reputation of He Wangfu, General Manager Hong recruited two fourth-grade masters from the palace for him. With Songcheng's support, he not only established a firm foothold in Ankang City in the past two years, but also gained a huge reputation. .

 Dongfeng Escort Bureau must achieve its mission, and it can be said that no one knows it.

 Furthermore, he himself is about to break through to the third level!

 At that time, when the prince praises him as a master, he will not be so vain!

Hong Ying said slowly and leisurely, "If some random people on the road bump into the prince, the prince is easy to talk to, but our family is not easy to talk to."

 “As long as you are here, the little robbers on the road will not dare to show their faces.”

Arhat had a smile on his face, but his heart trembled.
