The wife is the king of the palace

Chapter 80 It's Really Not Easy

Lin Xu tried to dissuade him, but Jin Qi didn't intend to listen to him at all. He had already made up his mind, and he would never change his mind easily because of Lin Xu's few words. Besides, he had already thought about this matter clearly.

Rather than letting Lin Xu bear all the pressure, it is better for him to bear this crime. Besides, as he said, he is the emperor, no matter how dissatisfied everyone is, what can they do with him?

Jin Qi was extremely determined, and Lin Xu wanted to stop it, but in the end he didn't. Besides, the rumors had already spread throughout the court, even if he wanted to do something, it was too late.

Jin Qi is now in his twenties, tens of thirty, and even counting the neighboring countries, there are definitely only a handful of people at his age who have not taken concubines. Not many.

After Jin Qi's words were uttered, first the ministers of the DPRK and China, and then the officials. Not long after, even ordinary people in Beijing had rumors and gossips.

Unable to stop it, Lin Xuyu secretly tried to guide the direction of the rumors, but this incident shocked the people and officials too much, even if Lin Xu tried to guide it, the effect would be minimal.

Seeing the rumors getting more and more outrageous, both Lin Xu and Xu Lan couldn't help feeling a little worried, but Jin Qi was an old god, teasing the child every day in the palace, and he really regarded it as a treasure.

Autumn is over, winter is coming soon, and it is the beginning of the new year again. Jin Qi is loafing in the prime minister's mansion with his little baby, but there is an urgent report from the border. , has already faced off.

Xia Guo and them have been at odds for many years, and border wars have continued endlessly. Jin Qi and Lin Xu have already expected that there will be a big war sooner or later, but they never thought it would come so soon.

In the first few days of the new year, before the annual leave was completed, Jin Qi issued an order to summon all relevant officials for an emergency ceremony in the court.On the other side of the border, the battle reports were constantly sent back to Beijing, making everyone in the court overwhelmed.

When the battle report came back, many people in the DPRK thought that it was just the same as before, and that it would be over soon, but this battle was different from the past. Since the beginning of the first month, it has been fought for almost a year.

At first, it was just a battle between Dayu and Xia Kingdom, but I didn't expect that it would even involve the two neighboring countries. The original battle turned into a big melee. It was the end of autumn, and the border land was already deserted and chaotic. .

The war that lasted for nearly a year gradually depleted Dayu Yi's national treasury again. As winter approached, when the DPRK and China were arguing endlessly over whether to levy taxes, another good news came from the border. For a hundred miles, Xia Guo lost several cities.

News of victory at the border crossed frequently, and the atmosphere between the DPRK and China changed completely. From the original arguing to everyone yelling and beating, everyone wanted to take this opportunity to completely consume the country of Xia, so that the friction and battle that had lasted for nearly a few years could be completely ended.

Jin Qi also had this intention. He and Lin Xu had already planned it for a long time, and the effect of garrisoning troops in various places to open up wasteland and store food also appeared. .

This battle made all the officials in the court busy, and Lin Xu secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Because of the sudden outbreak of the war, all the rumors about Jin Qi were suppressed.

Even the common people have become unattended. After all, compared with whether Jin Qi has the habit of cutting off his sleeves, the battle of life and death is obviously more eye-catching.

At the end of the year, good news came from the frontier again. General Ghost Face led the army to force Xia's army back to the back of Xia's capital.

Xia Guo was not as broad as Dayu, and its military strength was naturally far inferior. This battle directly consumed Xia Guo to almost nothing, and it also made the people of Xia Guo miserable, especially the soldiers.

Seeing that if Dayu continued to march, he might be able to take Xia Guo in another year, but General Ghost Face camped at the place where the army is now, and did not plan to continue to attack.

General Ghost Face didn't tell Jin Qi about this in advance, so when the news came back to Chaozhong, Chaozhong immediately exploded like water dripping into a frying pan.

Seeing that the victory was in sight, General Ghost Face stopped his troops, which made Su Fanyi's main combat faction extremely dissatisfied.

In addition, there have been many good news before, and even many original peacemakers have joined in, making the voices in the court almost one-sided, and they all tend to condemn General Ghost Face in favor of continuing to send troops.

The dissatisfaction and condemnation of many officials in the court also spread to the border, but the response from General Ghost Face was a paper request for payment.

The 80 million troops at the border gate need to be supported, which is already a very large expenditure when there is no war. Now that the war has been going on for a year, the expenditure on food, salaries and weapons supplies has already exceeded the burden of the national treasury.

If you want to fight again, you will need far more than what was consumed before.Besides, Xia Guo has been pushed to the limit, and unless Xia Guo can be persuaded to surrender to them, there will inevitably be a battle to the death.

Compared with the previous battles, Xia Guo, who had no way out, fought back before his death. I am afraid that even if Dayu wins, there will be countless casualties.

They already had an advantage now, and they had already fought so hard that Xia Guo would not be able to recover without a few decades. If the war continued, the possibility of regaining Xia Guo was not small, but it would also cause countless deaths and injuries to Dayu soldiers.

Faced with such a situation, General Ghost Face's decision was to cease fighting and reopen the line of defense.

Many people in the court were dissatisfied with this, but Jin Qi ignored it, and he also ordered that General Ghost Face be stationed there.

This matter naturally caused dissatisfaction among many people in the court. Lin Xu and Xu Lan looked at each other when they knew about it, but they shook their heads and laughed.

Especially Lin Xu, with an indelible smile in his eyes.

As the head of a country, I am afraid that even Jin Qi has the ambition to expand the territory and dominate one side. Now that the opportunity is in front of him, it is really not easy for Jin Qi to stop the car and consider the overall situation for the people.

Rather than expanding the country and leaving a name through the ages, the people naturally look forward to living and working in peace and contentment and the safe return of their family members in the army. Jin Qi also chose the latter.

Autumn turns to spring, and another year of floods occurs frequently, but Dayu is not as cloudy as before.

After the frontier at the border was opened and stabilized, the court issued an imperial decree to withdraw troops. The Xia Kingdom had nothing to fear, and there was no need for an army of 80 to [-] at the border. Therefore, apart from the necessary guards, some veterans were allowed to disarm and go home.

As soon as the matter was announced, the public became lively.Everyone scrambled to tell each other that the posture was not even so lively during the Chinese New Year.

The people are happy, but the situation in the court is not the case. Jinqi retreats the soldiers and returns the people without a fight, which makes the officials in the court who were originally in charge of the war feel extremely sad in their hearts even if they dare not speak.

After the order to withdraw troops was promulgated, the atmosphere in the DPRK was even more oppressive and dark clouds clouded over. All the officials did not dare to say anything, but the things that were forgotten by everyone at the beginning were provoked by people with good intentions.

Jin Qi is the lord of a country, when his conduct is upright to boost the prestige of the country, he doesn't like confidante and goes crooked, which is despicable.

This matter broke out again, and the rumors and rumors were even worse than before. Although this matter is no longer new, it still caused many people to discuss and condemn it again.

It's not just Jin Qi, this incident was deliberately provoked, and even a group of officials who supported Jin Qi were deliberately involved. It was rumored that someone deliberately served others with sex, and Lin Xu, who had always been trusted by Jin Qi, was naturally indispensable.

Regarding Lin Xu, the rumors and rumors in the market have become more and more uncontrollable. After all, Lin Xu became famous as a young man, and he has been flaunted by many students for so many years. Now it is suddenly rumored that he may have his current status as a waiter , the impact can be imagined.

The officials in the DPRK and Central Committee were dissatisfied with the yin and yang, and the people discussed and compiled countless versions. The atmosphere gradually became weird and distorted, and finally broke out.

All the officials condemned openly and secretly, hoping that Jin Qi would give an explanation, otherwise they would not be able to convince the public, nor would they be able to satisfy the public to shut up.

Many of those people were already dissatisfied with Lin Xu. Apart from those who were offended by Lin Xu's usual style and methods, there were naturally many people who were dissatisfied with Lin Xu's young age but superior to everyone, and thought the matter was not big enough. is also among them.

Things gradually became uncontrollable, and everyone dared not treat Jin Qi, but they were not so polite to Lin Xu.

Less than half a year after the war with Xia Guo ended, Lin Xu resigned under heavy pressure

And go.

Pointing the arrow at Lin Xu was originally just because everyone was dissatisfied with Lin Xu's deliberate action, but they never thought that it was a wrong shot, and they never thought that Jin Qi would be so angry.

After Lin Xu left the court service in the prime minister's mansion and resigned, Jin Qi was furious when he knew about it that morning.

In the morning of that day, Jin Qi shook his sleeves and left with a murderous look on his face. The officials kneeling inside and outside the hall did not dare to act rashly. It was not until the early morning of the next day that everyone finally got up and went home.

However, Jin Qi's anger did not dissipate. After learning that Lin Xu left behind the court uniform and a letter of resignation and disappeared, Jin Qi went crazy and started looking for people everywhere.

In the capital city and Lin Xu's hometown, he sent people to search for wherever Lin Xu might go. The imperial guards were short of manpower, so Jin Qi ordered to mobilize the local garrisons, and he was determined to find talented people.

It's just that Lin Xu was so skilled and determined to go, even though Jin Qi sent tens of thousands of people to seal the city like crazy and set up cards to search from house to house, but he couldn't find anyone at all.

Jin Qi couldn't find anyone, so he became more and more crazy and sent more people to search around. The same was true in the court hall. Without Lin Xu, no one could contain Jin Qi's anger and killing intent in the originally peaceful court hall. , This made the whole court into dire straits.

Jin Qi was not a gentle and kind person, not a good person, and he didn't see any hesitation when he washed the court with blood.In recent years, his methods have gradually become gentler, not because he has changed his temper, but because Lin Xu doesn't like his ruthless style, so he restrained himself.

Now Lin Xu was forced to resign by everyone, and Jin Qi was angry again, and his murderous intentions were fierce. One can imagine the life of the officials in the court. In Qi's rage, misfortune fell from the sky.
