The emperor plays a rogue: a cute little gambling concubine

Chapter 417 The Confrontation Between the General and the Prime Minister
The Golden Temple——

Ever since Prime Minister Yuan was abolished, the Golden Luan Hall has become the world of Lian Jing. Lian Jing's ability to govern the country is recognized by all the officials. He is decisive and ruthless, knows people well, and pushes the national fortune of Lian Long Kingdom to a peak. In the court, the new generation replaces the old ones, the civil servants are headed by Prime Minister Lin Wufan, and the generals are headed by Yuan Yuxuan. The strength of the two young people is comparable. With them in the morning every day, arguing with each other is inevitable.

"Your Majesty, I have reorganized the army in the past ten days. I am now [-]% sure that I will attack the Nanman clan. Please issue an order from the emperor to lead the army to attack the Nanman." Yuan Yuxuan recommended himself, swearing His appearance made the courtiers who supported him feel relieved.

Yuan Yuxuan is warlike and capable. This is something that all civil and military officials in the court know. He has been fighting for eight years and has never lost. He can be called the God of War. However, when everyone agreed with Yuan Yuxuan's approach, one person stood up. come out.

"Your Majesty, I do not agree with General Yuan's actions."

Lin Wufan bowed his hands, stood up, and put forward his own point of view, "Although the Nanmans are ready to move at this time, but the Lianlong Kingdom is strong, they must not dare to act rashly. As the saying goes, if General Yuan leads troops to attack rashly, it will cause panic. If we lose them, given the fierce temperament of the southern barbarians, they will surely die in the battle at the risk of extermination, and the blood will flow into rivers. Not only their people will be lost, but our people will also bear a heavy price. There are foreign enemies invading again, and we will only suffer from the enemy.”

Lian Jing nodded, his indifferent expression obviously favored Lin Wufan's point of view.

Yuan Yuxuan frowned, and his black eyes as cold as swords lightly glanced at Lin Wufan. After a while, he said again: "No matter how strong the Southern barbarians are, they can't compare with the blood of our Lianlong soldiers. I don't believe our Lian The soldiers of the Dragon Kingdom will lose to mere Nanman."

"That's right, General Yuan is right." The ministers standing behind Yuan Yuxuan all agreed.

"Your Majesty, you should have heard a saying, first tease, you're cheap." Lin Wufan smiled with a look of indifference to the world, and said coldly, "The reason why the southern barbarians are barbaric and aggressive is because they Due to geographical reasons, their living environment is backward, and education cannot be popularized. In order to survive, they must be aggressive. The emperor is committed to being a benevolent emperor, so the minister thinks that he can solve the problem without bloodshed and live up to the emperor's name as a benevolent emperor. It is best to settle the Nanban issue peacefully."

Lian Jing's hand rested lightly on the dragon chair, and his fingertips rested on the armrest. He thought for a while, then turned his eyes to Lian Rui and Lian Zichen's son, Lian Yi.

"What do the prince and King Yi think?"

Lian Rui and Lian Yi glanced at each other, and the two stepped forward together, with a tacit understanding, "I think what Lin Xiang said is true."

"The people that General Yuan attacked in the past were the first to provoke, and our Lianlong Kingdom sent troops to attack. If we send troops first this time, it will not only fall into the trap. My father, emperor and benevolent king are well-known." Even if Yuan Yuxuan was brother-in-law, Lian Rui would not rashly support him in this matter.

"Okay, since that's the case, then I will send envoys to discuss with Nanman. If the negotiation fails, it will not be too late for me to send troops. Yuxuan, what do you think?" Lian Jing asked Yuan Yuxuan.

"Everything is subject to the emperor's decision." Yuan Yuxuan had deep eyes, arched his hands, and answered neither humble nor overbearing.

In the early morning, there was a lot of war on this side, and Yuan Yuxuan and Lin Wufan met again when they went down the court. The two extraordinary handsome men walked towards each other step by step. Yuan Yuxuan stopped first and looked at Lin Wufan with piercing eyes.

Compared with Yuan Yuxuan's seriousness, Lin Wufan looked much more lazy, with a gentle and elegant smile, like a floating cloud in the sky.

"I refuted General Yuan's proposal in court today. I'm really sorry." Lin Wufan cupped his hands with a humble look on his face, but his tone of voice didn't mean to apologize at all.

"Lin Xiang doesn't need to apologize. The court is a place to talk about national affairs. It's okay for you to refute my issues. It's just that Jingxi is my wife now. Don't you think you are too close to her?" , Yuan Yuxuan was shocked by his own words, he would actually question Lin Wufan about this matter.

When Lin Wufan heard this, the smile on the corner of his mouth disappeared, his eyes were a little gloomy, and his face became darker and darker.

"It turns out that you also regard Jingxi as your wife."

Jingxi?Yuan Yuxuan suddenly exuded an awe-inspiring aura, how dare he call Lian Jingxi's name so affectionately!

"Lin Xiang!"

"You haven't been nice to her since you got married, have you?" Lin Wufan will never forget the night when he saw her at the market. Her face was full of unhappiness, and she even said "Tonight's moon is like people, it can't be reunited" such sad words.

"You..." Yuan Yuxuan couldn't believe his ears. The man in front of him never knew that he had such a feeling for Jingxi before, "Since when did you start looking at her like this?" ?!"

"Why should I tell you?" Lin Wufan gave a sinister smile, the smile was less clear and more hostile. If he hadn't always known that this man was very elegant and indifferent, Yuan Yuxuan would really think that he had admitted the wrong person today .

He stretched out his hand towards him, grabbed his collar and lifted it up, glaring at him angrily.

"Since you like her, why are you complaining about her now?! Don't you think it's ridiculous that you are doing this now?!"

Lin Wufan held Yuan Yuxuan's wrist with his backhand, and his expression was also cold, "Yuan Yuxuan, do you think everyone in this world is as lucky as you, and you can see her if you want to see her?!"

Who is Lian Jingxi?The most beloved princess of the emperor and empress, she has been well protected since she was a child. She even studied in the Hanlin Academy. From then on, he couldn't see her again. If it wasn't for the chance meeting at the market that night, he might not be able to see her for the rest of his life!

Yuan Yuxuan is so lucky, Lian Jingxi always remembers him, as soon as he enters the palace, he can see her spreading her wings like a butterfly and flying in front of him.

Yuan Yuxuan suddenly realized that, indeed, if Jingxi hadn't come to see him often, he wouldn't have had such a chance to see her.

Lin Wufan pushed Yuan Yuxuan away, straightened his clothes, and said in a cold voice, "Yuan Yuxuan, you can just go to toss her, and one day you find that she is no longer the girl you imagined." , It’s too late for you to regret it!” After saying this, Lin Wufan turned around and walked towards the gate of the palace.

General's House --

Sun Xiaoxi got up again with soreness all over her body. This time it was more exaggerated than last time. She woke up after sleeping until noon. Xin'er didn't know that she was spending the night with Yuxuan, so she couldn't find her. Automatically appeared, the little girl was already crying.

"Okay, okay, do you think I'm alright?" Lian Jingxi nodded Xin'er's head, "Don't cry like I'm dead."

"Princess! What nonsense are you talking about?!" Xin'er couldn't hear such words.

Xin'er helped Lian Jingxi back to the room, and when she passed the kitchen, she heard Tang Yuan, Yuan Yuxuan's personal bodyguard, ordering his servants, saying: "The general will be back in a moment, boil the medicine prescribed by the doctor, and then take it to the general. study."

medicine? !Lian Jingxi couldn't calm down all of a sudden, and rushed to the door of the kitchen to ask Tang Yuan.

"What medicine? Tang Yuan, is he injured?!" Lian Jingxi supported Tang Yuan's shoulder and asked nervously.

Tang Yuan frowned, and promised the general not to tell the princess about his injury, now he's in trouble.

"Princess……"

"Don't be perfunctory! I want to know what happened to him?!" Lian Jingxi's eyes were red with anxiety, and she grabbed a big man abruptly, making Tang Yuan's face turn red.

Half an hour later, Yuan Yuxuan returned to the General's Mansion, went back to the room to apply medicine, and when he opened the door, he saw Lian Jingxi sitting there silently.

He frowned, thinking of what Lin Wufan said just now, would he regret it?To Lian Jingxi?how is this possible.

"What are you still doing here? In broad daylight, I'm not interested in doing those things with you." Yuan Yuxuan walked to the place where the medicine box was placed with a cold tone.

Just about to open the box, she saw Lian Jingxi rushing towards her. She grabbed his arm with one hand, and quickly tore off his belt with the other hand, and took off his clothes. obstacles.

There was a bandage wrapped around Yuan Yuxuan's right shoulder, he didn't take off his clothes last night, she didn't know anything, now she could see clearly, tears couldn't be controlled, they fell down with a click.

Seeing her tears, Yuan Yuxuan's heart twitched fiercely. The feeling was indescribable. He covered her eyes with his hand, and he let out a low growl.

"why are you crying?!"

"Why didn't you tell me? Why didn't you tell me anything?!" Lian Jingxi asked him excitedly.

He is a general, why does he have to train soldiers himself? !It's nothing more than practicing, and I don't know how to protect myself, and I was injured by an arrow so accidentally!
"Wuwu...how could you treat me like this?! I'm your wife..." She cried miserably, Yuan Yuxuan saw her crying like this, even when he abused her, she didn't cry so badly, The feeling in his heart became more and more strange, the palms covering her eyes were already wet, he let go of her eyes, looked down at her, her face was already blurred.

"Don't cry..." He had no way to speak loudly to her at this time, so he could only order her in a low voice, but she continued to cry as she wanted, as if she couldn't hear his words.

"Lian Jingxi!" He called out to her loudly, grabbed her shoulders with his big hands, and turned her over to press her against the wall.

He lowered his head and stared at her who was weak and weak at this time, she only reached his chest, she was as petite as a child, he gritted his teeth, stretched out his hand to help her wipe away the tears on her face, and persuaded in a soft voice: " I'm fine, so stop crying."
