Chapter 529 Unrecognized Facts
The news that Lin Jinxiao had another leg problem soon spread to the post house in the east of the city.
On this day, Concubine Yue received a piece of beautiful jade from Dongsang sent by a wealthy gentry in Luyan Port, and invited Tang Ru, his wife, his family and all the princes to come and see it.
Hearing about Lin Jinxiao's illness, Concubine Yue Gui couldn't tell the truth from the fake, she frowned in front of everyone and said, "Although King Pingning has some talents, how can this sickly body afford such a big Pingning State?" Don't be like his father with such a heavy burden."
"I don't know what your majesty and the empress dowager think, but let such a poor and unfit waste be in charge of a state's defense."
Nandu Wang Lin Tingkai vented quite annoyed: "It is better than him to appoint a prince casually in Beijing."
"Jin Xiao has bad legs and feet, but his mind is still good."
Beibin Wang Lin Tingyan pointed to his forehead with a smile: "What's more, he has a shrewd princess beside him. That's not a fuel-efficient lamp."
"No matter how shrewd she is, she's just a woman, and it's hard to convince the public. How can all the officials who take office be at her mercy when it comes to affairs in the state?"
Although Lin Tingkai was in awe of this woman, he didn't take her seriously.
After all, she is not Princess Shu, without the support of His Majesty and the Empress Dowager, it is difficult for a woman to accomplish anything.
"Don't underestimate it."
Beibin Wang Lin Tingyan gave a meaningful reminder, staring at Tang Ru, the governor of the state capital with a serious expression, and said with a sneer: "Since my nephew is ill, the captain should do more That’s right, I’m afraid that Pingning Prefecture will still have to rely on the captain.”
"Your Highness is joking, King Pingning is just a little sick occasionally, and it is not a problem to preside over the overall situation in the state."
Tang Confucian could not tell that King Beibin was seeking hatred for himself.
Now Pingning Prefecture has become an important town to defend against the Dongsang people and Baiyu people. Although my father recommended many disciples of the Tang family to take up important positions, the two His Highnesses were not idle. There are quite a few people in Wei's mansion who are old friends of the Nandu Wang's mansion.
Lin Jinqian has never cared about government affairs, and she didn't know what she was being humble when she saw each one pushing back and forth, and suddenly said suspiciously: "Prince Pingning was in high spirits a few days ago, why did he suddenly have a leg problem again, can't he be pretending?" ?”
"Should we send the imperial doctor from the post station to have a look?"
Tang Yuanxi was worried about his sweetheart's health, so he immediately suggested.
"The concubine next to her has excellent medical skills. Even Qian Hongwen, a famous doctor in Luyan Port, wants to call her master. There is no need for the imperial doctor beside me."
Concubine Yue Gui snorted coldly: "It's better not to make such a claim, this couple is a ghost, lest they get it wrong and think that we are suspicious of them."
"Well, what the imperial concubine said is very true."
Tang Ru echoed and glanced at the princess lady with an uncertain face: "In the last tax and bank case, King Pingning was seriously injured, and he was in a hurry to take office before he recovered from his leg disease. When he was appointed as the magistrate of Luyan Port, he took office Yes, I have been tossing and tossing around again for a while, which has left sequelae. The frequent attacks of leg diseases have long been known to everyone in Luyan Port. We saw it with our own eyes last time in Tong’an Village, so we can’t fake it.”
"In two days' time, King Pingning will hold a banquet for the concubine in his hand to congratulate the two of them on their reunion. Let's go to congratulate and find out the truth."
When Yue Guifei talked about this matter, she deliberately slowed down her tone, and couldn't help but look at the jealous Princess Yuanxi.
Hearding that the little princess is willing to prepare a sedan chair to enter Pingning Palace by herself as a princess, she has not figured out what the little princess is up to.
However, thinking that she has been led by the nose by the queen mother and those old things of the Tang family all these years, and now the Tang family has become the laughing stock of Quanjing Lingcheng, she feels relieved no matter what she thinks.
Tang Yuanxi felt sore in her heart, and said to everyone holding her breath: "I feel a little unwell, and I want to go back to my brother's house to recuperate for a few days, so I will leave first."
Tang Ru knew that she was suffering from a heart attack, so he got up and led the princess to bow to Concubine Yue and the two princes and return to the mansion.
After the Tang family left, the Southern Capital Wang Lin Tingkai opened his heart and said: "Jinxiao often suffers from leg problems, and sooner or later the military power in Pingning Prefecture will fall into the hands of Tang Ru alone. We must find some ways to check and balance Tang Ru. .”
"What is the third brother calculating the strength of Pingning Prefecture?"
Beibin Wang Lintingyan said disapprovingly: "The distance from Pingning Prefecture to Jingling City is thousands of miles. Sailors are the main ones."
After a pause, he looked at Concubine Yue Gui and Lin Tingkai with a smile, and said in a solemn voice: "What the third brother has to do is to let the servants of Jingling City stop the empress dowager and His Majesty from having the idea of welcoming Jinxiao back to the capital. As long as Jinxiao can't enter the capital in this life, let him and Tang Ru check and balance each other, even if the third brother ascends the throne in the future, Pingning Prefecture will not become a serious problem."
"It's unprecedented for him, an unpopular clan, to be valued by the court. How could the Empress Dowager and Your Majesty welcome him into Beijing? Sixth, you are really worrying too much."
Nandu Wang Lin Tingkai scolded with contempt.
"Cough, yes, but my little brother is worrying too much."
Lin Tingyan coughed uncomfortably: "My little brother is worried that our nephew has made great achievements. If His Majesty favors him, if he is allowed to enter Beijing again, Your Majesty has no heirs, and the relationship with King Qinghe is not harmonious."
"I am more worried that the Tang family will join forces to deal with you two through the marriage between Princess Yuanxi and King Pingning."
Concubine Yue Gui did not think that His Majesty would welcome King Pingning into Beijing.
I have heard His Majesty mention it many times in Beijing, worrying about the situation in the east and south, and worrying that there is no trustworthy person around me, so I want to promote the children of the Luyan Port clan, protect the southern border, and check and balance the forces in Beijing.
But after all, Your Majesty is from the land of Qinghe. The Lin family in Luyan Port has been neglected for hundreds of years, and has deep grievances. If they enter Beijing, the rest of the clan will inevitably be threatened.
Beibin Wang Lin Tingyan had a different attitude towards Concubine Yue's words: "I don't think that the queen mother and the general have any intention of wooing the general. The general sent so many people to Pingning Prefecture to monitor Jinxiao, which made it difficult The sword is on the verge of breaking out, it doesn't seem like there is half a ounce of sincerity to win over people, in my king's opinion, it's just Princess Qian and the little princess' sister-in-law messing around,
These two young ancestors were pampered and spoiled in Beijing, and the general and the queen mother followed their wishes only to better monitor Jinxiao. "
"Let them make trouble, anyway, it's just a cripple, a waste, and it won't be a big deal."
Nandu Wang Linting's regular script also wanted to create some confusion during his nephew's ceremony of conferring the king and hinder his progress, but now it seems that this is completely unnecessary.
Being a king has no blessings. I'm afraid he inherited Lin Tingshu's roots and is a short-lived ghost. As the emperor's uncle, for the sake of the empress dowager, it's better to let him rest for a few days, and then fend for himself.
