The twenty-third year of Zhenping.

Six years later!

Xiao Jingli is already twelve years old.

In the past few years, Xiao Jingli has been constantly training his subordinates, learning, and practicing martial arts.

Everything went well.

However, some things have also happened in the past few years.

In the nineteenth year of Zhenping, Li Chong set up a teaching platform outside the city of Jinling.

Lin Shu was his disciple.

His talent was the best in Jinling and attracted everyone's attention!

In the twentieth year of Zhenping, Prince Qi proposed to abolish the Xuanjing Division and merge the relevant powers into the Ministry of Justice.

Emperor Liang angrily rebuked Prince Qi and kept the memorial in the court.

In the same year, Emperor Liang reduced the 100,000 Chiyan Army to 70,000, and removed the deputy general Meng Zhi, who had just joined the Chiyan Army for a year, from the Chiyan Army and arranged him to serve in the 50,000 imperial guards in the palace.

In the twenty-first year of Zhenping, Lin Shu and Nihuang were engaged.

In the twenty-second year of Zhenping, (Prince) Prince Jing Xiao Jingyan left Shi Donghai. Lin Shu saw him off and asked him to bring back pearls the size of pigeon eggs as marbles. The two parted!

In the 23rd year of Zhenping, which is this year, Dayu invaded Daliang and invaded the northern border of Daliang with an army of 200,000.

The commander of the Chiyan Army, Lin Xie, led 70,000 Chiyan Army to fight against the enemy.

After a bloody battle, the 70,000 Chiyan Army wiped out the 200,000 troops of Dayu, making Dayu unable to attack again in the next 20 years.

Outside the battlefield and in the court, Xia Jiang and Xie Yu jointly falsely accused the Chiyan Army of treason, and forged the handwriting of Nie Feng, the deputy general of the Chiyan Army, as evidence.

The Emperor of Liang was furious and ordered Xia Jiang and Xie Yu to lead 100,000 troops to wipe out the Chiyan Army.

Xia Jiang and Xie Yu led 100,000 troops to set up an ambush at Meiling, and the Chiyan Army, which suffered heavy casualties and was exhausted, was slaughtered by blood.

In the same year, Zhuo Dingfeng killed Li Chongfeng, the forger of the letter, and Qi Wang Xiao Jingyu was demoted to a commoner and imprisoned in Tianlao Hanzihao. He was later given poisoned wine and died. He cried out at the end of his life: Father does not know son, son does not know father!

On the same day, Concubine Chen committed suicide, Princess Jinyang, the sister of Emperor Liang, Lady Lin Xie, and mother of Lin Shu, committed suicide in the palace, and all the people in Prince Qi's Mansion and Lin Mansion were beheaded!

In the same year, the great sage Li Chong retired to the rivers and lakes, King Ying was deposed, and Marquis Yan ignored the government.

In the same year, Xie Yu was awarded the title of Pillar of the Nation.

Qilin Hall.

Xiao Jingli sat alone at the head of the case, drinking and thinking.

All this has happened, and he has no power to stop it. Now he can only protect himself, and he can't even leave the palace.

Concubine Chen committed suicide, and he wanted to stop it, but there was no way. There was even less way for Prince Qi.

Speaking of which, Xiao Jingli actually disagreed with Prince Qi's decision. If the Xuanjing Division was merged into the Ministry of Justice, the Ministry of Justice would not be able to manage it at all, and the single punishment department would only make the Ministry of Justice the only one. If there were too many wolfish ambitions, the people would not even have a place to cry out for injustice.

Moreover, the Xuan Jing Division deals more with matters of the martial arts world. When knights break the law with force, there must be a department to prevent them from doing so. The Ministry of Justice is simply too busy to handle this.

Prince Qi may be a wise king, but no matter what, he is still too young and sometimes makes wrong decisions!

That's all!

Xiao Jingli drank the wine in the glass, feeling helpless at this moment.

At the same time, this series of events this year has caused a rupture in his sense of security for many years!

Even when Prince Qi was imprisoned, he did not dare to meet Emperor Liang to plead for mercy!

He knew very well that this matter was the bottom line that Emperor Liang could not touch. If he got involved, he would be hated forever.

He did not dare, nor did he want to be like Prince Jing in the future, just a county prince, or even struggling! It would be fine if he was not favored, but if he made meritorious deeds, he would be punished just like that, with no father-son relationship at all!

"I'm sorry, Brother Qi Wang, Aunt Lin, I really don't dare to do anything now, but in the future, I will do justice for you. When Lin Shu comes back in the future, I will also protect him. If I have the ability, I will do my best to treat him."

"Haha, I am afraid that in the future Xiao Jingyan and Lin Shu will definitely be unhappy with my silence."

After saying that, he drank another glass of wine.

Without being there in person, one cannot feel Xiao Jingli's current fear and determination to build a force.

This year is too dark.

Let's put it this way, this year, the harem is particularly obedient!

Haha, the harem that once dared to kill even the imperial concubine, this year everyone is so obedient, each one is harmless, and not even a maid or eunuch is missing.

In the harem, the concubines have even disappeared.

It can be seen how dark it is!

In this situation, the twelve-year-old Xiao Jingli, although he has accumulated some power around him, is also afraid.

In his previous life, he was just a poor loser who couldn't even fight against life.

""Your Majesty has arrived!"

The sudden voice disturbed the silence of Qilin Hall.

What?

Father is here???

Xiao Jingli quickly got up and walked outside.

In the courtyard, the palace maids and eunuchs were already kneeling on the ground. Xiao Jingli quickly bowed and said,"Your son greets you, father!"

Emperor Liang stepped forward and helped Xiao Jingli up:"Go in and talk!"

"Yes!"

Emperor Liang, Xiao Jingli, and Eunuch Gao walked in.

As soon as he entered, Emperor Liang saw the wine pot on the table.

Instantly, Xiao Jingli became angry. Why did he come here today and was caught drinking? Drinking on weekdays is nothing, even if it is his first time to drink, but the tragedy is that he drank for the first time at this time!

Xiao Jingli blamed himself in his heart. He could bear it, but he was melancholy and drank wine!

At this moment, Xiao Jingli couldn't help but worry about his future.

The only good thing is that the worst thing is to become another Prince Jing. Even if there is only a chance to be a county prince, with his own martial arts, his team and the Eye of the Red Dust, he is confident that he can create a powerful force.

It's just that it will be much more difficult!

"Um?"

"Are you drinking?"

As expected, Emperor Liang looked at Xiao Jingli expressionlessly.

Eunuch Gao beside him lowered his head.

In an instant, Xiao Jingli's thoughts quickly turned.

""If I remember correctly, you have never drunk alcohol, or have you secretly drunk it before, huh?" Emperor Liang asked with narrowed eyes.

Sensing Emperor Liang's emotions, Xiao Jingli didn't know what the best way was at the moment, what the best excuse was, but he knew that if he dared to deceive the emperor at the age of twelve at this time, he would definitely be miserable!

Thinking of this, Xiao Jingli's face was full of sadness:"Your Majesty, Aunt Lin is dead, your son, your son............"

Seeing Xiao Jingli like this, Emperor Liang also realized that his youngest son was only twelve years old. Thinking of this, he put away his anger, nodded, sat down in the main seat, poured himself a glass, and then drank a glass:"Sit down, since you drink, then I will drink with you."

Huh!

Xiao Jingli was relieved. He knew that his father took this into account, and he was still young and had a child's mind.

Although in ancient times, twelve years old can marry and have children in three or four years, but the prince is really different. The prince is in the harem at this time and has never been out. Even if he understands the pros and cons, his mind is still simple at this time.

"Yes, father, I will ask someone to get another set of bowls and chopsticks and some wine and food!"

"Yue Li!"
