Chapter 632 Rival Love
Lin Jinxiao sent someone to harness the carriage, led a team of plainclothes guards, and walked out slowly.
The sun is shining, the warm autumn sun shines on the ground, and the pedestrians on the road are a little more lazy and comfortable.
Lin Jinxiao lifted the corner of the car curtain and looked at the bustling city. It has only been a few months, and Luyan Port has changed a lot.
Although the Haiyan River in Pingning Prefecture has not been cleared yet, it is possible for the people of Luyan Port to live and work in peace and contentment in such a short period of time, and they will no longer be exploited and bullied by those powerful and evil gentry. He feels extremely comforted in his heart.
He firmly believes that in time, Pingning Prefecture and even the entire Jiangnan will be able to return to its former glory under his governance.
Now it is an eventful time, and the arrival of the Bai Yu Mission is related to the stability of Pingning Prefecture. He hopes from the bottom of his heart that the peace talks can be facilitated.
It's just that Xie Jingchen is always jealous of his wife. He is worried that his wife's reputation will be damaged because of this matter, and some people even make use of it to make a big fuss about it.
He couldn't accompany the lady to Beijing this time, and he was already very uneasy. Now that she is pregnant, if he suffers from this matter again, he will only feel more guilty and uneasy.
Come to Qinghefang full of thoughts, it is noon at this time, there is an endless stream of diners who come to eat, and the whole restaurant is full of seats.
Lin Jinxiao asked Sang Kun to arrange a small courtyard in the garden, ordered a table of wine and food, and ordered He Ying to invite Xie Jingchen over.
After drinking two glasses of wine casually, Xie Jingchen walked in calmly.
"Prince Xie is quite relaxed."
Lin Jinxiao signaled him to take a seat, poured another glass of wine and pushed it in front of him, and said with a smile: "So many big things have happened in the city these two days, I don't know how you feel, Prince Xie?"
Xie Jingchen picked up the wine glass and drank it down, then sat down slowly, and replied calmly: "It's just your country's internal affairs, even if I have heard about it, I have the right to listen to it."
"yes?"
Lin Jinxiao watched quietly with a piece of golden shark's fin in his hands, his face gradually turned gloomy: "It seems that Prince Xie is used to coveting other people's things, and this calm temper has long been practiced to perfection."
"I don't know what King Pingning means by this?"
Xie Jingchen remained calm and composed, and glanced at him coldly: "Your Highness, please speak clearly."
"Okay, then the king will raise some points with Prince Xie."
Lin Jinxiao stared straight at him: "Prince Xie, do you know why this king immediately sent Xing Huan, the prefect of Funing County, to prison?"
Xie Jingchen replied calmly: "I heard that this person intends to assassinate His Highness in the name of presenting a concubine."
"Prince Xie thinks this is credible?"
"You are the king, so naturally you have the final say on this matter."
Xie Jingchen snorted coldly with disdain: "It's just that the way the royal family of your country treats courtiers is really frightening. A majestic county magistrate will be ruined in an instant. I want to ask His Highness. Treating officials with such courtesy is wrong." Aren't you afraid of attracting criticism if you are injustice and kindness?"
"Goodness?"
Lin Jinxiao couldn't help sneering: "Yes, in the eyes of the people of your country, this Xing Huan is indeed a good person, and you should even be regarded as the savior of the world by your Baiyu people. Speaking of this, I would like to ask Prince Xie, You kept saying why you came here, but secretly sold a large number of horses and ironware from Funing County at a high price in secret, and the entire Baiyu royal family was tight on food and clothing just to get these two things, but why?"
"The world can learn from my heart for peace, and there is absolutely no falsehood."
When Xie Jingchen saw him mentioning this matter, his face changed suddenly, and he said solemnly: "As for those people with ulterior motives who want to stir up disputes between the two countries all day long, I think there are plenty of people in your country."
"Prince Xie's words are so righteous and awe-inspiring. Now people in Funing County are panicking. This king sees that Prince Xie is still as calm as Mount Tai. Isn't he afraid that the war between the two countries will spread again before the embassy enters Beijing?"
Lin Jinxiao held the wine cup in his hand, his eyes paused, and he continued after a while:
"This Funing County is a place where dragons and tigers are hidden. Dongsang bandits in Haikang County have been hiding here for many years and no one has noticed. As far as this king knows, every time you enter the country, you will bypass Funing County to land. In the year when the two countries were at war, it was as if your country was in an uninhabited territory when traveling through the territory. It can be seen that this place has long been your confidant.
Xu Jinzhou, the county magistrate of Tuyuan County, may be an unknown person in this dynasty, but he must be a household name in the eyes of your people. I don't know how much he will gain from his order to inspect Funing County this time, but there is one thing This king should clarify to Prince Xie that if he makes any mistakes in Funing County, this king will definitely not let it go. "
"Those who dare to offend the public anger should have planned."
The coldness hidden in Xie Jingchen's eyes gradually came to life on the paper: "After all, everyone wants to survive, there is no reason to just sit and watch being slaughtered."
"That's right, so this king decided to let the Haiphong Battalion go to Funing County immediately to protect Xu Jinzhou. I don't think he came to the state capital without fear of danger this time. I don't think it's just for the livelihood of the people in Tuyuan County. I'm afraid it's because he cares about the two countries. Diplomat, he has concealed some things, and he will definitely take action when the evidence is convincing, otherwise, why would he rush back to Funing County in such a hurry."
Lin Jinxiao said with a malicious smile: "Prince Xie feels that this king is now asking Xu Jinzhou and the Haiphong Battalion to capture the treacherous people who smuggle horses and irons in Funing County, and they are hunting down your country hidden in Funing County. What will the secret spy organization gain?"
Hearing these words, Xie Jingchen's entire face turned black.
The Ten Baiyu Clans have been operating in Funing County and Changning County for many years. Some people in the court want to start a war again and take these two counties. However, although the Dahe Empire is now in decline, its military strength is still not to be underestimated.
For this reason, he thought of coming to the peace talks, and wanted to trade with the Dahe Empire in the south. If troubles arise at this time, the peace talks will have no hope.
Seeing that he was silent and did not answer, Lin Jinxiao said with a cold smile:
"As far as I know, Prince Xie has a concubine elder brother Xie Jingzhan. I heard that this person has been coveting the position of the East Palace, and he has won the hearts of your country's main war faction. If I give Xu Jinzhou an order at this time, let him In Funing County and Changning County, we are vigorously cracking down on smuggling. I don't know if Brother Ling is willing to let Prince Xie and the mission return to court safely.
I'm afraid that even Li Nanfu, the prime minister of your dynasty, will find it difficult to stabilize the situation. Before the peace talks come to fruition, the smuggler king still has the right to deal with it. "
Seeing the biting coolness in his eyebrows and eyes, Xie Jingchen felt bitter in his heart.
He doesn't want to see the two countries go to war again, but if Lin Jinxiao makes a big move against Funing County and Changning County at this time, then Xie Jingzhan and the courtiers who are in charge of the battle will definitely not give up, and the army of the Baiyu tribe will just drive straight in .
"You do not dare."
For the safety of the mission, Xie Jingchen retorted without changing his expression: "My palace is very clear that His Highness King Pingning also needs a stable situation right now. I don't think you would like to see the flames of war between the two countries permeate your territory."
"Indeed, I hope that the two countries will trade with each other."
As he said that, Lin Jinxiao's fierce eyes fell directly on him, and he said sharply: "But for her, for the safety of my family, I am not afraid of a fight."
