I Don’t Want To Be the Emperor

Chapter 571 Return to the capital

In the snow, the carriage was speeding fast. Under the bumps, Lin Yi's buttocks couldn't bear it. He held on to the railings of the carriage and lay down honestly, and then put a thick quilt under his buttocks and head. .

　　When we arrived at the place, it was already dark.

The few lanterns on the street were swaying in the wind and snow like will-o'-the-wisps. When residents heard the roars of people outside and the neighing of horses, they curiously poked their heads out. When they saw the officers and soldiers, they closed the doors with a bang. .

The only inn in Shaguan Town was also busy closing the door panel. The young man was squeaking, and he was just missing the last piece. Suddenly the door panel could not be closed. He suddenly raised his head and found that there was a man as big as an iron tower standing in front of him. The palm of his hand was pressed against the door panel.

Lei Kaishan said, “What?

 Are you no longer doing business? "

 “Do it, do it, please come in, military master,”

The shopkeeper hurriedly ran out and pushed aside the dazed boy. "What are you doing standing there? Hurry up and feed the army master's horse."

"You don't have to worry about feeding the horses. Hurry up and take out whatever food you have here. We are the Sanhe Army, not bandits."

As he spoke, Lei Kaishan threw a piece of silver over and said, "If you wait well, there will be a reward."

It was windy outside. The shopkeeper pressed his black hat and stretched his head to look at the rat flag fluttering in the wind. He breathed a sigh of relief and said, "It turns out to be the Sanhe Army. I thought I was passing by somewhere else."

Without hesitation, he put the money into his pocket, and then removed the door panels one by one with his own hands.

As we all know, the Sanhe army has strict discipline and makes no mistakes wherever it goes. Moreover, the officers and soldiers are generous with their money, and nearby villagers can often make a fortune along with it.

Lin Yi got off the carriage, his head still dizzy. After holding his forehead and sitting down in the inn lobby, he drank a pot of tea and felt much better.

Tan Fei asked with concern, "Your Majesty, why don't you go to the room and rest for a while?"

"No."

Lin Yi disliked the bloated jacket, so after taking it off, he was only wearing an undershirt and didn't feel much cold at all.

 He didn't know whether it was because of the heat generated by the snow or because his body had strengthened.

He is more likely to think that his physical condition has improved. This was verified in the greenhouse yesterday. He is not as out of breath as before.

Even though I got motion sick today, I was still in high spirits and felt like I could still eat three bowls of rice.

I heard that the Sanhe Army was outside, and the residents on the street opened their doors one after another. Snack sellers, cotton sellers, shoe sellers, hairdressers, everything. Don't take out some from the team of four to five hundred people. Silver, I probably won’t be able to sleep at night.

After Mei Jingzhi patted the snoring horse in front of her, she did not rush into the inn. She stood at the door, looking at the suddenly brightly lit street, and sighed, "I didn't lose unfairly."

King Nanling whispered, "Why did my grandfather say this?"

Mei Jingzhi said slowly and leisurely, "There are no roosters crowing for thousands of miles, and white bones are exposed in the wild. What do you think you are talking about?"

King Jin couldn't help but interjected, "It's talking about the bones being exposed in the fields after the battle. It was so deserted that you couldn't even hear the crow of the rooster."

Mei Jingzhi said, "Those are the bones of the people. Whenever a large army passes through the border, it is like locusts, plundering and plundering. Wherever it goes, there are countless deaths and injuries, and blood flows all over the fields."

King Nanling seemed to be feeling emotional, "Even the Three Emperors, who claim to have done nothing wrong in autumn, sometimes suffer heavy losses after a long attack on the city. In anger, they often massacre the city."

The most impressive thing was in Pingcheng. It was besieged by Shen Chu for three months. After the food and grass were insufficient, they could only plunder and demolish houses. The people were destitute and miserable.

The King of Jin said, "A true man should act informally."

 “But if you lose your great righteousness because of a small detail, you will lose more than you gain.”

After Mei Jingzhi handed the horse over to a school captain, she said with her hands behind her back, "Those who win the hearts of the people win the world. Don't deceive me sincerely."

Lin Yi waited for the dishes to be served and then started drinking while he was minding his own business.

While drinking, he said to Cheng Duo'er, who was pouring wine at the side, "You don't need to serve me here. You go and see the female family members of Prince Jin. Don't neglect them."

Cheng Duoer hurriedly said, "Don't worry, Your Majesty, my subordinates have arranged for them to go to the wing upstairs. After washing up, they are eating now."

The only thing I'm not sure about is how to place Su Xin. I don't know whether to send her directly to the prince's wing.

However, in the end, I still didn’t make my own decisions.

 It is rare to be confused.

This is what his master Hu Shilu taught them. Sometimes people who think they are smart will not end well.

Lin Yi raised his head, looked at the empty lobby, and then said, "Invite General Mei and others in."

"yes."

Cheng Duoer then walked to the door of the hall and said to Mei Jingzhi and others who were standing not far away, "I have an invitation for you, the prince."

 “Thank you very much.”

King Nanling bowed his hand towards Cheng Duoer politely.

Cheng Duoer smiled and said, "Your Majesty, you're welcome."

 No wonder he said to the prince that the King of Nanling has become smarter.

Led by Mei Jingzhi, the three of them stood respectfully in front of Lin Yi. Lin Yi raised his hand and said, "You're welcome. Sit down. It's cold. Drink some wine to warm yourself up."

 “Thank you to the regent.”

　　Three people said in unison.

King Nanling did not sit down in a hurry, picked up the wine pot, and started pouring wine one by one, starting from Lin Yi.

Lin Yi raised his eyelids and glanced at him, and said with a smile, "Brother Seventh Emperor, you are a wise man. After returning to the capital, you should follow Lao Twelve and Brother Sixth Emperor to work in the clan mansion."

"ah"

 Happiness came so suddenly, which caught King Nanling off guard.

 Putong knelt down and nodded three times, "Thank you, the Regent, for your kindness."

 Is this a blessing in disguise?

"I am a straight talker, so don't worry about it. I spent thousands of gold to buy horse bones. I hope you don't turn into horse dung."

Lin Yi finished speaking and drank the wine in one gulp.

At present, he has completed the formal unification of the Liang Kingdom. The most important task has become to develop the economy and sort out the political relationships that cannot be cut or chaotic. The clan gentry must be suppressed when it is time to suppress them, but when it is time to win over them, they must be suppressed. , also want to win over, hit a stick and give a date.

 Still the same idea as before: unite all forces that can be united.

 If you are not willing to unite with him, then you have to try his iron fist.

ˆ “.”

The King of Nanling was dumbfounded.

Do you still want to thank me?

 Finally, after hesitating for a while, he gritted his teeth and said, "I will never let down the regent!"

 The King of Jin said eagerly, "I am also willing to do my best for the regent!"

"you?"

Lin Yi glanced at him disdainfully, but then thought of his admirable sharing spirit, he softened his words and said soothingly, "You, after returning to the capital, have a good rest. Don't be in a hurry. Take your time. From now on, I will have many ways to rely on you.”

 “Thank you, Prince Regent.”

  King Jin couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.

Lin Yi looked at Mei Jingzhi again, "The same goes for General Mei. There is nothing better than enjoying your old age and entertaining your grandchildren."

 “I am deeply grateful.”

Mei Jingzhi cupped her hands and said.

 The snow stopped during the night.

 As a result, when everyone was on their way on the second day, heavy snow came unexpectedly again.

 It was not until Ankang City that I saw the bright sun.

After Lin Yi returned to the house, he slept until the next night.

 “But I’m exhausted,”

Lin Yi let Ming Yue rub his shoulders, "From now on, I will never go out if nothing happens."

Mingyue smiled and said, "Your Majesty's advice to surrender to Pingcheng is truly rare. Your benevolence and righteousness are praised all over the world."

 “Where is the child?”

Lin Yi didn't answer his question, "I haven't seen it since I came back."

Mingyue smiled and said, "Yesterday, when we were sent to the palace together with the princess, the empress didn't care about them, so she stayed overnight."

Lin Yi frowned and said, "Does the old lady know about my return?"

 Otherwise, why would you take the child into the palace at the right time?

Mingyue hurriedly said, "The prince misunderstood. Since the princess can speak, the empress likes her more and more, and has entered the palace several times."

 “Can you speak?”

Lin Yi said in surprise.

 “Teach one sentence and learn one sentence, and you will be very smart.”

Mingyue smiled and said, "If you are willing to get close to your Majesty, your Majesty will naturally be happy."

"I see,"

Lin Yi then asked, "My son is just a month old enough to recognize people. How can he be happy if you are not with him?"

Mingyue said, "I stayed in the palace last night, but today I heard from Xiao Xizi that you were coming back, so I came out of the palace specially."

Lin Yi stood up, stretched and said, "Then let's go into the palace together, take a look at the old lady, and then take the child back."

 Leave the house, get on the carriage, and go straight to the palace.

The high-walled courtyard is pure white, and the entire palace is wrapped in white.

Ci'an Palace was full of joy and laughter, and all the concubines and concubines were surrounding the two children rather than surrounding Concubine Yuan Gui.

 “See Prince Regent!”

 “No need to be polite,”

Lin Yi glanced at Concubine Tang next to him, then saluted Concubine Yuan and said, "See you, concubine."

With Concubine Yuan waving her hand, all the concubines retreated one after another, and even the two children were taken away by the palace maid.

 For a while, only the mother and son were left in the house.

Lin Yi smiled and said, "The concubine is becoming more and more majestic."

Concubine Yuan Guifei snorted coldly, "I heard that you let King Yong run away?"

Lin Yi smiled and said, "You are quite well-informed."

“Everyone in the world knows it, do you still want to hide it from me?”

Concubine Yuan Guifei stared.

 “That’s not what I meant,”

Lin Yi stepped forward, took an orange and peeled it while saying, "I just don't want you to worry about me."

“Yes, I am worrying blindly, but you kid doesn’t make people worry,”

Concubine Yuan Guifei sighed and said, "If you let King Yong go, aren't you afraid of letting the tiger go back to the mountain?"

 He is not someone to be trifled with. He may not be able to appreciate your kindness when he becomes fully fledged in the future. "

Lin Yidao, "The mother-in-law wants her son to be known as a brother-killer?"

“I think your father never did it back then, so who would mention it now?”

Concubine Yuan Guifei said nonchalantly, "Listen to me and make a decision early, so as to save the consequences later."

Lin Yi shook his head and said, "My son naturally has his own considerations. It's better for my mother and concubine not to interfere."

 “Okay, I don’t care,”

Concubine Yuan Guifei asked tentatively, "Then let me ask you, when are you going to ascend the throne?"

Lin Yi was stunned for a moment and said honestly, "My son has never thought about it, at least not for the time being."

Concubine Yuan Guifei said, "Are you worried about your father?

As long as you are willing, it doesn’t matter if he takes the Zen position!

 Isn’t it the same for the prince at the beginning? "

 “So the prince failed,”

Lin Yi smiled and said, "Concubine, my son is not a fool. Just let him follow his own rules. Just take good care of him in the palace."

Concubine Yuan Guifei said angrily, "Anyway, I can't understand your rules.

Everything is ready in front of you, why are you still hesitating? "

Lin Yi said nonchalantly, "If you really ascend the throne, you will have to go to court early every day. It's not like you don't know how lazy your son is. He definitely won't be able to get up so early."

 “Are you telling the truth?”

Concubine Yuan Guifei has thought of many reasons, but she has never thought of it because of this!

 Because I don’t want to go to the morning court, I don’t want to be the emperor!

 What kind of reason is this!

“Not only that, you also have to go to the mountains and seas every day to review memorials. You know how tired my father is,”

Lin Yi wiped his hands with a handkerchief and continued, "My son doesn't want to follow in his footsteps."

 “Asshole!”

Concubine Yuan Guifei gritted her teeth.

Lin Yi stepped forward and comforted her, "Mom, please calm down. Since you asked, I will tell you the truth. It would be too boring for you to get angry again when I tell you the truth."

 “You should step back,”

Concubine Yuan Guifei still said angrily, "I am exhausted."

 “The son is gone?”

Lin Yi finished speaking carefully, but when he saw that my mother still ignored him, he reluctantly left Ci'an Palace.

 “Your Majesty.”

 Xiao Xizi hurried over to welcome him.

Lin Yi asked, "How is my health at this stage?"

Xiao Xizi hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, I had a cold a few days ago. Now I have recovered. I practice my sword every day when I have free time."

 “Then go and have a look.”

Lin Yi walked towards Qilin Palace again.

 Inside the Qilin Palace.

The father and son looked at each other. Lin Yi finally couldn't bear the dullness and spoke first, "I heard that my father had caught a cold a few days ago. My son was very worried, so he came here to have a look."

Emperor Delong said calmly, "I have already written the edict for the Zen position. You can just seal it yourself."

"Um?"

Lin Yi was surprised.

 Why are so many people looking forward to his ascension to the throne today?

"how?"

Emperor Delong snorted coldly, "Do you have to let me drink poisonous wine before you can ascend the throne?"

Lin Yi waved his hand and said, "Father has misunderstood. My son doesn't have that intention. My son really doesn't want to be the emperor. Please relax, you should continue to live in this Qilin Palace."

Even if he does become emperor one day, he will not live in the palace.

 It is suffocating to live in such a big place.

“Now that you have unified all nine states, what are you waiting for?”

 Emperor Delong was equally puzzled.

"With the father here, the son can be protected by the father's wings, so why go out and experience the storm?"

Lin Yi smiled and said, "What my son said is true."

Emperor Delong frowned and said, "I can't understand you more and more. What do you want to do?"

“My son doesn’t want to do anything, he really wants to be lazy, he doesn’t want to go to court, he doesn’t want to approve memorials, he doesn’t want to listen to people’s noise,”

Lin Yi sighed, "I just want to sleep until I wake up naturally, and count money until my hands cramp."

Of course it would be better if I could spend the spring night in the hibiscus tent and occasionally write novels.

His novel about a soldier and his son-in-law seems to have been discontinued?

 That novel sold well in imitation shops, and it was once expensive in Ankang City.

Why!

This time I can’t go back to the rest of the world, I have to continue updating!

 The people of Ankang City in the province called him a dog eunuch!
