There were twice as many news from the frontier this morning than usual, and they were all small things, which also caused headaches.Sitting on the dragon chair, Lin Jin faintly felt some distending pain in his temples, which was really disturbing.After listening to Jiang Taiwei's report, Lin Jin felt irritated in his chest, and deliberately said slowly: "Zhou Jinzhao's border is the most complicated, and we need to add another [-] troops to prevent any differences. What else does the Taiwei suggest?"

"My Majesty, there are a lot of unusual actions in the state of Jin right now. It is better to ask the Ministry of Households to prepare food and grass early, and the Ministry of War to recruit troops and horses on a small scale in case of emergencies." When Jiang Taiwei said this, the ministers in the court were shocked. Prepare forage?Is this... going to war?

"Your Majesty, I think that Jiang Taiwei is a shadow of a snake. Although Jin has mobilized troops and horses in the past few days, there have been many civil strife in Jin in recent years, and conflicts have continued for many years. Moreover, the two countries have not developed for 30 years, and the four countries have nearly I have not met each other in 18 years. If I recruited guests and bought horses from Zhaoguo today, I am afraid that I will be criticized and let Jin and Mo come to question first. Please also ask the emperor to learn from—" Doctor Yu Shi said immediately after hearing Jiang Taiwei's words Out of concern, there is still a vacancy for a prime minister in the court, and the opinion of the imperial doctor is the opinion of the majority of civil servants.

"What the doctor Yushi said is very true, but Jin's troops and horses were mobilized, and the increase of troops and defenses never informed me according to the country. Why should I take this into consideration when deploying according to * affairs? If Jin suddenly raises troops, even though the border It will take five days to deploy more troops after passing through Yanzhou and Qingzhou. At that time, the state of Jin will not know which state it will go to, and the imperial censor may not be able to stand in the court as calmly as today." Jiang Taiwei did not show any weakness, and his tone was tough.All the generals straightened their backs, their blood boiled, and they looked proudly at the civil servants standing on the left side of the hall.Jiang Yi was born as a Jinshi in the imperial examination in the first year of Emperor Jiang Yi. He has experienced many battles in the past 30 years, and he is capable of writing and martial arts.Fighting with civil officials in the court is not a disadvantage. Over the past dynasties, most of the Taiwei were military generals, but they suffered a lot in the court - who can let the literati say they can go around?

Doctor Yu Shi was not angry, smiled slightly, and said slowly: "Jiang Taiwei, as far as I know, there are as many as [-] garrison troops in Yanzhou. Thirty percent of the national treasury's annual expenditure is spent on raising soldiers. As for the fact that the top can't be broken for five days after one attack, otherwise, how can Jiang Taiwei ask the Ministry of Households for money and food in the coming year?" The civil servants were also excited, thinking: That is, when you military officers ask for money and food, you dare not show weakness. You can't fight?

Jiang Taiwei was about to speak with an angry face, but was interrupted by Lin Jin, "The two lovers are my right-hand men, and everything they say and do is for the country and the people. Yesterday, I also discussed with the Taifu, Jin Zhao Although it is an ally, the behavior of the Jin State in recent years is really not reassuring, and it is better to make more preparations. After today's court, I will send someone to send some news to the Mo State, and let the Mo State have some preparations."

As soon as these words came out, Jiang Taifu and Doctor Yushi's expressions softened a little, "The emperor's sage—"

Lin Xuan poked the probe, Taifu Ji was sick today, and in the future, there will be a good show in the court, and where there are people, there will be fights.The disintegration of Li Chengxian's power has promoted the development of the small group, but this is a good thing for Brother Huang.

"Your Majesty, I have something to report." Taizong came out and knelt in front of the hall.

"Ai Qing, please tell me." Lin Jin didn't expect that there would be a lot of things going on this morning, so he frowned slightly.

"Yesterday, I was traveling in a car, and suddenly I saw dozens of children in the market, clapping their hands and singing a song. The song said: "The moon will rise, and the sun will disappear; the soldiers will rise, and the few will die."

"Who made this language?" Lin Jin frowned deeply, very unhappy.Lin Xuan's heart tightened, not knowing who had ulterior motives for it, listening carefully to the conversation between Lin Jin and Doctor Yushi, the hall was as quiet as a bell for a while.

"Chen Qian's retainers arrested a group of children to ask, but the group dispersed in shock, and only the elder and younger were taken down. Hearing this, he said, 'Who made this speech?' The younger children were afraid and could not speak, but the older children replied, 'No. I did it. Three days ago, a child in red came to the market and taught us to read these four sentences. For some reason, it spread all over the place, and all the children in Beijing recited it by coincidence, not just in this place.'" Yu Doctor Shi paused for a moment, seeing that the emperor and his ministers were all fascinated, he said again: "I asked, where is the little boy in red now? The answer was: 'I don't know where to go after teaching the song.'"

Lin Jin was stunned for a long time, and ordered: "If there is a child who sings this word again, father and brother will be guilty of the same crime. Ministers, how do you explain this word?"

Tai Shi Weicheng came out and said: "Every word that has no roots in the market is a rumor. God warns people and kings, and often sends Ying Martian to turn into children to make up rumors for the group to learn. They are called nursery rhymes. Small rules It can predict the good or bad luck of a person, but it can be related to the prosperity and failure of the country. The firefly and Mars are red, and today the country is far away, so it is a warning from heaven to the Holy One."

"I have no intention of fighting recently. Where did this disaster come from? Is there a way to avoid this disaster?" Lin Jin asked.

Taizong replied: "When I watch the stars at night, the omen has come true, and it seems to be in the palace. It has nothing to do with external wars. In the future, I am afraid that there will be a disaster for the heroine to disrupt the country. What's more, the rumors say: 'The moon will rise, the sun will disappear,' and the sun will disappear." It is the image of a ruler, the moon is a yin type, the sun does not rise and the moon rises, and the yin advances and the yang declines, so it is obvious that a woman is in charge of politics."

"The empress is virtuous, where does the trouble come from?" Lin Jin asked coldly.

"The rumors of 'will be promoted' and 'will not be' are not a current matter. What's more, 'will' means that it may happen but not necessarily. If the Holy One cultivates morality to resolve it, it will naturally turn danger into good fortune."

After hearing Taizong's words, Lin Jin was skeptical and showed displeasure.

"From my point of view, this phrase can be interpreted differently." After Lin Xuan finished speaking, everyone in the court looked at him, and Lin Xuan smiled slightly: "I am the founding emperor of Zhao, and I ask the heavens to use 'Zhao' as the name of the country. The sun and the moon shine together on this piece of land. Where does the saying "the moon rises and the sun sets"? Both the sun and the moon are auspicious omens for our country to shine. I think this rumor is conspired by people with ulterior motives. Ministers, don't do it for the sake of This rootless language confuses itself."

"I think that King Yong's words are justified. The sage is a wise king and sage. He cultivates virtue and is compassionate to the people. God will naturally see it. This rumor is very likely to be made by villains with ulterior motives." Doctor Yu Shi said, and all the ministers followed Nodding again and again.

Lin Jin remained silent, and said for a while: "Dali Temple has investigated this matter, and this nursery rhyme must not appear again, otherwise it will be punished as a crime of deceiving people with rumors."

"Dear dears, what else do you want to play?" Lin Jin asked, seeing that the ministers were silent, he continued, "In that case, let's retreat." Lin Jin finally breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, the matter of Liu Fei's murder was blocked for the time being, otherwise there would be a quarrel in the court today, and it would be annoying to think about it.

Lin Xuan pondered that although there were a lot of gains in going to court today, there might not be many ministers who knew that Liu Fei had been killed. Today is not a good time to discuss with the emperor, so he had to go to the Anshou Palace to pay his respects, and then returned to the mansion in a huff.After all, I am still an idle prince now, without a real job, sometimes I am left by the emperor brother to review papers in the imperial study, and sometimes I just go back to the mansion directly.Who let the imperial examinations leak the limelight.

Jiang Lingyue vigorously brushed aside the old officials around her, walked towards Lin Xuan, and did not forget to tease the old officials beside her: "Yo - Mr. Gao is very handsome? Let's make an appointment for a cockfight some other day, and see my green The hair is amazing."

Mr. Gao waved his hands again and again, begging for mercy: "Master Hou, please let go of your official position. Old man, I won you once. You have been talking about it for almost a month. You really can't stand such mental torture."

"Yo—? I can't take it anymore? Hahaha—this is a battle in my heart, I will win next time. Don't be lazy, it's like running if you win." Jiang Lingyue said sideways, stepping one step at a time. Without missing a beat, "Oh, I'm sorry, Mr. Song hit you." After bumping into someone, he continued to yell at Mr. Gao: "Did you hear, Mr. Gao—?!"

"It's worth it—Master Hou, I'm afraid of you. When you find time, just send someone to let me know. Mr. Gao will definitely go." Mr. Gao looked helpless, and he couldn't imagine how to provoke such a thing. The tyrannical "bully".

"Hey, you're a good old man." Jiang Lingyue waved to Master Gao and smiled with satisfaction.Seeing that they were also crowded beside Lin Xuan, he shouted excitedly, "Second Brother!"

"Hmm—" Lin Xuan said listlessly, "Oh—"

"Second brother, why are you sighing so much? Could it be that sister-in-law didn't show a good face in the morning?"

"Bah——" Lin Xuan spat at him, and scolded with a smile: "In your opinion, the second elder brother married a shrew?"

"That's not the case. Sister-in-law is virtuous and dignified, gentle and generous, beautiful and intelligent." Jiang Lingyue said seriously, "But, second brother, you have been naughty since childhood, who knows where you provoked sister-in-law again?"

"Go—let's play while you're at it." Lin Xuan was so angry that he didn't bother to look at him, waved his sleeves and raised his legs, and two or three people passed Jiang Lingyue.

"Oh, why is the second brother still angry? Where is he not happy?" Jiang Lingyue "lingering ghosts" entangled him again.

"Hmph—" Lin Xuan ignored it and continued to hum coldly.

"Second brother, I was wrong. I was blind and didn't see your goodness." Jiang Lingyue's dark eyes shone with the light of "wisdom".

"Forget it, forget it. This king doesn't get angry with children, and children speak freely." Lin Xuan patted Jiang Lingyue on the head with a proud face, "It's good to know that you are wrong, and you can correct your mistakes. There is nothing good about it.”

Only then did Jiang Lingyue realize that she had been tricked, and murmured: "Being bullied by Nie'er at home, and being bullied by my second brother outside, I can't live..."

"Stop pretending to be pitiful, your vitality is like weeds, and you still want to deceive me." Lin Xuan pointed out Jiang Lingyue's careful thoughts, but his mood was inexplicably lost, and he said listlessly: "Alas—the emperor didn't give you any advice recently. I arrange things, and the emptiness is tight..."

Jiang Lingyue's eyes widened, with an expression of disbelief, she grabbed Lin Xuan's shoulders, untied the official seal on her waist, and said in a daze, "Second brother, take my official seal and go to the Ministry of War to take the duty." , I’ll go back to the mansion to rest. Come, come, let’s change—it’s a thick spring day, what’s wrong with it?”

Lin Xuan was silenced by Jiang Lingyue, so he turned the corner of his mouth to one side in anger and said, "You will pay for our drinks this month." After finishing speaking, he walked away.

"Second brother, I'm waiting for you to ask me someday—" Jiang Lingyue smiled and shouted to Lin Xuan's background, and the ministers around him also booed and asked Master Jiang to treat him to spring wine.

Lin Xuan shook his head as he left, with a smile on his lips, it was rare to spend time with Yue Jun these days.The sun has been very good these days. Walking a long way under the sun will make people sweat. Although there is a breeze, it doesn't feel cold. Spring has really come.The yellow winter jasmine is in full bloom, and rhododendrons are everywhere. Traveling with a beautiful woman?Think about it well - go back to the house to accompany the beautiful woman?It’s not bad to think about it——

On the square in front of the hall, Chang An saw Lin Xuan coming to him, saluted hurriedly, and said with a smile, "My lord, the chariot has stopped in front of the Antai Gate as you ordered. It will take a while to get to the Antai Gate. Where are you going, or go straight home?"

Lin Xuan nodded in satisfaction, raised his haughty chin, and said quietly, "Let's go to Fuchun Tower to eat some pastries before returning home."

Fuchun Building always has some wonderful pastries in this season. It will take two hours to try something new and then pack some for the emperor's grandmother to send to the palace to show filial piety. I have nothing to do every day, idle... Lin Xuan pouted out of grievance, his handsome face matched with this expression is very cute.
