Chapter 781 Weird Atmosphere
Lin Jinke defended Jeju to the death, and was looking forward to Lin Tingyan urging Tang Yao to lead his troops to the east, when several bad news came to the city one after another.
First, they learned that Lin Tingyan and military advisor Jia Qian used their letters, swords and military amulets to lure Tang Yao out of the city, and executed Tang Yao and more than 20 Qinghe confidant generals in the name of eliminating evil from the court, and took over 300,000 troops.
It was only then that he suddenly realized that he had been plotted by the sixth emperor uncle.
When she was furious, Han Guang, Tian Yuchan's regular attendant, came to Jeju City.
Holding the relics and letters delivered by Tian Yuchan in his hand, he presented them to Lin Jinke, knelt down and begged, "The queen mother has passed away, please return to Beijing to watch for the queen mother."
"Empress? Empress has left?"
Looking dully at the relic in Han Guang's hand, Lin Jinke clenched her fists in pain.
Regret that he didn't listen to his mother's advice, and mistrusted Lin Tingyan's instigation, causing his mother and younger sister to end up like this.
"Before her death, the Empress Dowager ordered Tang Yi, the governor of Yizhou, to return to the imperial court. Now Princess Shu and Concubine Ji are leading 150,000 cavalry from Hanzhou, Qizhou, and Yanzhou to reach the city of Jeju in a blink of an eye. Please think twice, Your Highness, don't let me down." Thanks to the painstaking efforts of the Queen Mother."
As soon as Han Guang finished speaking, he saw the generals in the city rushing in and said loudly: "Your Highness, Princess Shu asked people to call for battle in front of the army. I heard that King Pingning had passed through Yizhou smoothly, and the governor of Jeju sent someone to open the door." At the gate of the city, Concubine Ji has entered the city with the forbidden army, please make a quick decision, and the general will **** His Highness to escape from this place."
"Escape? Where are you going?"
Lin Jinke collapsed on the ground with ashen ashes, and looked around a group of distraught subordinates with dull eyes.
After pondering for a long time, he suddenly sat upright, picked up the wine cup in front of him, slowly filled the jade cup with good wine, waved towards the hall, and saw the geisha hiding behind the curtains leaving one after another come out.
"Dance the last song for me again."
Lin Jinke casually picked up the jade cup and sipped slowly, causing his subordinates to sweat profusely on their foreheads.
Seeing this situation, the geisha dared not to follow, so they had no choice but to bite the bullet and do their best to dance gracefully to the sound of silk and bamboo sounding again.
The singing and dancing in the county mansion is peaceful, but outside the mansion is already a bloodbath.
When Lin Jinshu and Ji Cen'an entered the county mansion, the geisha fled in panic.
Looking at Lin Jinke still intoxicated by the wind music, Lin Jinshu shook his head angrily: "It's really hard to change the nature."
Even in such a situation, I still don’t forget to enjoy myself.
Waved at the sergeants with contempt, "Take down this outrageous thing."
"Slow down."
Lin Jinke knew that she couldn't fight recklessly, so she started to play the emotional card, persuading her earnestly, "Jin Shu, we are brothers and sisters, do you really want to help an outsider give away the country that my father and the king have acquired so hard?" ?”
"Lin Jinke, are you also worthy of mentioning your father's country?"
Lin Jinshu glared at him coldly: "If it weren't for you mother and son, why would our empire be in such a difficult situation today?"
If it wasn't for the stability of the court and thinking about killing her mother, she would have wished to slash this fellow right now.
Lin Jinke knew that the situation was over, and the Governor of Jeju personally opened the door to welcome him. No matter how determined he was, he was powerless.
Sighing sadly, he got up slowly, stepped out of the gate of the county mansion step by step under the guarded eyes of a group of people, and kept muttering: "The sky is not fair."
Returning to Jingling City again, but as the posthumous son of the former prince, the feeling in Lin Jinxiao's heart is really indescribable.
Sitting on the horseback, looking at the towering and solid city wall in the distance, he seemed to have seen the scene of the slaughter of the Eastern Palace and courtiers back then.
Li Ce saw that he was holding the rein tightly and refused to move forward, so he couldn't help urging him: "Brother, the Empress Dowager and the old lady are probably looking forward to your entry into the palace, brother, it's better to start as soon as possible."
After finishing speaking, we must count the sergeants and go to open the way.
Lin Jinxiao stopped him immediately, and then ordered: "Sanlang, you lead the army back 30 miles and set up camp, and let He Ying order fifty people to follow me into the city."
"How can this work."
Li Ce showed a very worried expression: "Although King Qinghe has retreated to Jeju now, there are many people in Jingling City who don't want my brother to enter the city. Brother, you can't be careless."
"No problem."
Lin Jinxiao still remembered that he promised his wife and mentor a while ago that he would never do anything like demolish bridges.
At this time, I think many people are full of panic. They have just experienced a catastrophe. If they press down with an army again, the atmosphere in Jingling City will undoubtedly become tense again.
Having made up his mind, he took He Ying and fifty guards to ride his horse and whip, and continued to walk towards Jingling City.
When they arrived at the gate of the city, they saw Ji Huaishu and Ji Rongheng's uncle and nephew already waiting here.
"Welcome Your Highness to enter the city."
Ji Huaishu bowed respectfully to meet him.
Lin Jinxiao looked around, seeing that the city was unusually quiet, and there were no more than a dozen officials who greeted him at the gate, which was really chilling to see.
Due to party disputes over the years, most of the officials in the DPRK and China have colluded with the Tang family and the Yang family. When they heard that King Pingning had entered Beijing, most of them dared not go out of the city to greet him.
Ji Huaishu is not easy to say clearly, so he had to explain euphemistically: "The ancestors and His Majesty miss His Highness very much, and only let the old minister and Rong Heng meet here, and please don't worry too much."
How could Lin Jinxiao not know that these courtiers were afraid of settling old accounts with them and hid in the mansion, not daring to come out to meet people, so he waved his hands with a smile: "It's important to see His Majesty and the old ancestors, please Lord Shangshu to lead the way."
Ji Huaishu nodded in relief, motioning everyone to get out of the way, escorting Lin Jinxiao, but went straight to Chengqian Palace where the government was discussed, and did not dare to delay for a moment.
Lin Jinxiao faintly sensed that something was wrong.
According to common sense, after entering the city, one should first go to the corridor office to change the court clothes before entering the palace, but Ji Huaishu seems to have no such intention.
He was about to ask, but Ji Huaishu whispered in his ear: "Today, the ancestor and His Majesty are both in Chengqian Palace, old minister"
At this point, he suddenly choked up, and he pondered for a long time before saying the next words.
Lin Jinxiao's heart trembled: "It's the concubine."
Before he could speak, Ji Huaishu closed his eyes in pain, and he immediately became in a trance.
The empress dowager is wise and intelligent, knowing that she is eager to see her mother in the palace today, so she should bring her by her side.
But Ji Huaishu didn't mention the concubine at all, and his face was so solemn, Lin Jinxiao already felt that something was wrong.
Anxiously rushed to Chengqian Hall, stepped up the jade steps to enter the hall, and saw the emperor Lin Jinsheng and Yin Enci sitting on the top of the hall from a distance, and there were seven or eight courtiers scattered in the hall.
Everyone just watched him slowly enter with heavy steps. When he got to the hall, someone shouted:
"King Pingning stepped forward to accept the seal."
Sounding that the voice was very familiar, Lin Jinxiao fixed his eyes and saw that it was Taiwei Yin Sinian.
This solemn atmosphere made Lin Jinxiao feel a little suffocated.
He knelt down thoughtfully, and listened to Yin Sinian's voice read out: "Ping Ning Wang Lin Jinxiao has made great achievements many times since he was canonized, and he is the first heir of Prince An. For meritorious service, he was specially established as the emperor's younger brother, and he was bestowed with book treasures, to honor the tradition of ten thousand years, and to spread the heart of the world."
Lin Jinxiao was stunned again.
It was really strange that I was sealed as soon as I entered Beijing.
While he was hesitating, Lin Jinsheng in the hall suddenly showed a faint smile, waved to him calmly, and called out in an incomparably loud voice: "Come on, Jinxiao, follow me."
