I am the empress, you still tell me to run away?

Now, before the plan to escape, his life was threatened by Taiwei Sima Zhao. In this case, he needed to find a way to kill Sima Zhao to ensure the progress of the plan.

Of course, he won't do it himself.

For some things, you only need to release the news quietly, and someone will naturally investigate the rest.

However, Lin Xuan had to think more about how to operate it.

In short, fishing first, and extra meals for lunch.

As for Luo Li, she arranged to go to learn to read and write on the sidelines.

"Good luck!"

Less than 15 minutes after the pole was lowered, a big fish took the bait.

Lin Xuan was in a good mood, put the big fish into the net, kept it by the pond, and continued fishing.

At that time, the fish head will be stewed in soup, and the fish meat will be braised in brown sauce. Sprinkle a little salt and it will become extremely delicious and delicious.

Around noon, a familiar voice sounded at the door.

"Brother Lin, congratulations on becoming the Chancellor of Honghe Temple!" Zhao Yuehan held a folding fan, and the old servant Li Mu came in with some gifts and said, "The water transportation was busy a while ago, so I didn't have time to congratulate Brother Lin, I'm really sorry."

"Brother Zhao is too polite, please hurry up!"

Lin Xuan greeted him with a fishing rod in his hand, but he didn't expect another big fish to be hooked.

"Brother Zhao, wait a moment, I have another big fish hooked here, you came at the right time!"

"Good talk!"

Zhao Yuehan unfolded the folding fan and asked the old servant Li Mu to put the gift under the grape trellis.

However, what surprised her was that Lin Xuan had a little girl carved with jade at some point.

It stands to reason that boys and girls who are servants should have corresponding dresses, but the clothes worn by this little girl are almost made of the same material as Lin Xuan. Could it be Lin Xuan's distant relatives?

The people sent out earlier had thoroughly investigated Lin Xuan, and there were no other relatives.

"Hey, who are you?"

Zhao Yuehan looked at Luo Li who was studying under the grape arbor.

Seeing Zhao Yuehan approaching, little Luoli quickly stood up and saluted: "My name is Luoli, and the master bought it from the West Market."

Bought?

Zhao Yuehan looked at Luo Li, then at Lin Xuan who was fishing.

I don't know why, but I feel a little strange in my heart.

She looked away, and looked at Lin Xuan again. When Lin Xuan is needed later, I will talk about Luo Li's matter later.

Hey, she rewarded Lin Xuan with so much gold, and Lin Xuan actually bought such a beautiful little girl back directly? !

Especially seeing that Luo Li is so beautiful and cute, the price must not be low.

The old servant Li Mu saw Luo Li who was very polite, and for some reason, he felt a little tired and sour.

There is a very powerful tigress in the house, which makes him dare not do more outrageous things, and he can't even look at it a few times. He never thought that Lin Xuan would do such a thing at such a young age .

Luo Li was very obedient, and quickly cleaned up all the bamboo slips and sand trays on the table.

After studying all morning, she can already write her own name.

"Old Li, help me."

Lin Xuan picked up the big fish he caught and walked to the backyard.

The old servant Li Mu was originally standing beside Zhao Yuehan, but Lin Xuan called him over before he could rest for a while.

Immediately he thought that something was wrong, didn't they all buy a slave?

Why do you still ask him to help?

However, His Majesty is here, whether it is for the safety of food or the following lunch, it seems impossible to refuse.

Nearly an hour later, the braised fish, stewed fish head, grilled fish, and the braised fish left for Zhao Yuehan to take back were all ready.

Except for a small part reserved for Luo Li and the coachman Lao Xu who was still recovering, the rest were placed under the grape arbor.

In addition, he might have to talk to Zhao Yuehan about his plan to run away, so Luo Li didn't let Luo Li have dinner with him as usual.

"Brother Lin, congratulations again on becoming the prime minister of Honglu Temple!"

Zhao Yuehan asked the old servant Li Mu to unwrap the gift, and inside was a small jug of fine wine.

"This is a good wine that I got by accident. However, the master didn't make enough wine, so he just gave me some. I use this good wine to congratulate Brother Lin."

As the commander-in-chief of frequent imperial conquests, Zhao Yuehan drinks a lot.

As for Lin Xuan, it has been verified last time.

After drinking for three rounds, Lin Xuan felt a little floating, and it was true.

Of course, this may also be due to the fact that Zhao Yuehan and the old servant Li Mu are sitting in front of them, and they trust the people on the same boat.

Seeing that Lin Xuan had entered the state, Zhao Yuehan said: "Brother Lin, I heard that the Wei State Mission will arrive in Tiandu in the next few days. At that time, there will be a truce between Dagan and Wei State. Negotiations between the three prefectures, brother Lin, as the prime minister of Honglu Temple, will definitely participate in it."

Lin Xuan smiled and nodded: "Really? Am I really officially involved?"

Zhao Yuehan said: "Yes. This negotiation is very important and involves a lot of things. Many colleagues in the Ministry of Commerce are also discussing it. It is said that the court is divided into two factions. One faction thinks that one state and three counties in Wei State should be returned in exchange for enough money. interests; one faction thinks that one state and three counties in Wei State should be occupied, not giving up an inch of land. Brother Lin, what do you think?"

Lin Xuan said: "Me? I have nothing to think about, it's not my decision anyway."

"..."

If you don't tell me, how can this work?

Zhao Yuehan poured wine for Lin Xuan again: "Brother Lin, haven't you always wanted to find an opportunity to go to other countries? There are many differences within the imperial court. If you can make a difference in the negotiation hosted by Honglu Temple this time, maybe You will have the opportunity to go to Wei State and lift the restriction that the remnants of the nobles of the previous dynasty are not allowed to leave Tiandu."

Lift the restriction that the remnants of the nobles of the previous dynasty are not allowed to leave Tiandu?

Lin Xuan's eyes lit up when he was slightly drunk.

This is a very important part of his running plan!

Zhao Yuehan took advantage of the situation and said, "Brother Lin, the imperial court is currently vacillating between these two decisions. If we negotiate with the Wei State Mission in this way, I'm afraid it will be very bad."

"Hi'er..." Lin Xuan laughed, "It's not easy. Negotiations are nothing more than extortionate prices, paying back the money on the ground, and just pay him back as much land as Wei Guo pays."

Zhao Yuehan frowned slightly, did Lin Xuan agree to return Wei's land?

"Nonsense!" Hearing this, the old servant Li Mu on the side immediately came up with a violent temper: "Bah! Boy Lin, you, you... You mean to sell the one state and three counties that the frontline soldiers sacrificed for their lives? This If the words are to reach their mouths, you must be torn apart!"

Chapter 39 Empress Ji Han has big breasts and no brains?

"Pedantism!"

After Lin Xuan drank the wine, he became a little proud.

"Old Li, it's not that I underestimate you. You are already so old, why worry about these things?"

"I……"

The old servant Li Mu was choked immediately.

He is currently playing the role of an old servant of the Zhao family in Yongle Lane, not some general Li Lin. If he makes a slip of the tongue and ruins His Majesty's important affairs, it will be very bad.

You must know that during this period of time, as one of the elders of the cabinet, his daily life is basically a cup of tea and a large number of bamboo slips waiting for his approval, and the whole person is going to be bad.

It was a great honor to be pulled out by His Majesty to come to Lin Xuan's small courtyard at such a time, to eat and drink along the way, not to mention how enjoyable it was.

If the identity is leaked, I'm afraid there will be a lot of trouble.

"Old Li!"

Lin Xuan patted the old servant Li Mu on the shoulder: "Your shoulders are very strong. You have been on the battlefield before. If that's the case, I can probably understand."

"But, you pedantic, I still have to say."

"Indeed, in every war, the land that is finally occupied is fought by countless soldiers with their lives and blood. For those soldiers, their heads can be broken, their blood can be shed, and they will not give up an inch of land!"

A head can be broken, blood can be shed, and an inch of ground will not be given up!

When the old servant Li Mu heard this, he couldn't help but feel a little passionate and emotional.

but……

He absolutely disagrees with Lin Xuan's proposal to sell the land!

Zhao Yuehan said: "Brother Lin, if you take such a suggestion to participate in the negotiation, I'm afraid it will be very difficult to get the opportunity to go on an embassy."

Being reminded like this, Lin Xuan drank another bowl of wine, and his body shook slightly: "Indeed, I, Lin Xuan, are nothing more than a remnant of the nobles of the previous dynasty. No matter how much I say, I will not be adopted. You said it."

"First of all, let me ask you, what price do you need to sell the land in one state and three counties, not to mention if Daqian really wants to sell it, can Wei Guo afford it?"

This……

They don't seem to have thought it through.

Zhao Yuehan said: "The Wei Kingdom has just finished the civil war, and King Xuan of Wei has ascended the throne, and the tribes outside the grassland are taking advantage of this opportunity to loot. The national treasury may have been empty long ago, and it may not be able to redeem the three counties of this state at all. .”

Lin Xuan put down the wine bowl and said, "That's right, that's it!"

"Fang Wenyi, the former commander of the Wei State Army, and Lan Xiang, the commander of the Wei State Central Army, defeated the rebellious Wei State Wei Army commander Wei Ziling. The Liang of the Wei State's capital city was beaten into a mess, and at least [-] soldiers were lost."

"The national treasury is empty, the interior is weak, there are grassland tribes in the north, and the big cadres are oppressing the country in the south. It can be said that Wei State is in an unprecedented dangerous situation. That's why they compromised and sent a mission to negotiate, hoping to get it back on the table. One state and three counties, but also to buy more time."

"To be honest, the reason Wei Guohui did this is because the new emperor of Wei has a wise prime minister behind him, who gave advice..."

Unknowingly, Lin Xuan almost told some inside stories he knew, but his instinct stopped him from continuing to talk about these related issues, even though he was still in a state of drunkenness.

"To put it bluntly, Wei Guo saw through Dagan's current state of emptiness."

"Because the state and the three counties are really going to be forcibly taken back by the State of Wei, unless the Empress Ji Handan personally conquers them, they will definitely not be able to hold them."

what?

You said that you can't keep it?

For the sake of one state and three counties, do you still want the empress to come in person? !

The old servant Li Mu's anger came up again, but seeing Zhao Yuehan's eyes, he could only suppress it.

Lin Xuan was already a little drunk, and if he didn't grasp the time, he might pass out.

Zhao Yuehan said: "Brother Lin, what do you say?"

"Hi'er..." Lin Xuan wanted to continue drinking, but was stopped by Zhao Yuehan, "Okay, I'll pour the wine after I finish speaking! First of all, this state is currently occupied by the King of Beijiang, and it is also the King of Beijiang who has fought for most of his family's fortune. Only then can it be occupied. The other three counties are controlled by the Northwest Camp, am I right.”

"If the State of Wei chooses to counterattack at this time regardless of everything, can the King of Beijiang stop it? Will he dare to break the boat and fight the rest of the army?"

This……

Indeed, a king without soldiers is not even as good as a dog.

Originally, the King of Beijiang was asked to send troops, but Empress Ji Handan wanted to consume the King of Beijiang's troops.

Only when the king is weak and the emperor is strong can the internal affairs of the Dagan be stable.

If Feng Wang is strong and the emperor is weak, the chaos of the Three Kings when she ascended the throne will reappear.

"The King of Beijiang will withdraw his troops!" Lin Xuan said firmly, "Then, what about filling in the Northwest camp? Fighting with Wei's army will hurt both sides, or even wipe out the whole army?"

"At this time, the King of Beijiang will lose his check and balance. For the sake of the three counties in this prefecture, Empress Ji Handan must personally lead the army to fight back."

"Of course, the result of doing this will inevitably be the defeat of Wei State, but Dagan, who has suffered a lot in battle, will not be able to annex Wei State, and the two sides will fall into a protracted war that is completely out of control."

"In Daqian, most of the soldiers led by Empress Ji Handan died on the battlefield of Wei State. At this time, the rest of the kings will discount the Empress's militarism and rebel against the banner of the people's livelihood. Dagan will fall into civil strife again."

"The kingdoms of Yu, Chu and the grasslands on the border took advantage of the situation to invade and reap the benefits of being a fisherman."

"Hiccup..."

"Also, I'm not saying that it's impossible to do a big job. If we really want to fight like this, the food and grass in the big dry will collapse immediately, and it won't be able to support the frontline battlefield."

"The wars of the past few years have already brought Daqian to its limit."

"If Dagan wants to subjugate the country together with Wei, all he needs to do is occupy the three counties of this prefecture."

……

Actually cursed to destroy the country?

The old servant Li Mu's eyes were a little red: "Boy Lin, according to what you say, is it true that the one state and three counties bought by Dagan's soldiers with their lives will still cause Dagan to subjugate the country?!"
