I am also waiting for the hero to usurp the throne today [Transmigration Book]
Chapter 62 Squeak squeak.
Li Jinyu jumped out of bed instantly, picked up "Longyang Secret Scripture", and read it carefully.
The pages of the book are intact and there is no trace of opening...
Huo Caiyu is not the kind of person who rummages through other people's things casually, maybe he really didn't find it?
He had long forgotten what it looked like when it was stuffed in, and he couldn't tell whether Huo Caiyu had discovered it.
Li Jinyu looked at those vivid diagrams, blushed and stuffed the book back under the pillow.Thinking it was too unsafe here, I took out the book again.
Looking around, Huo Caiyu might come here often in the bedroom in the future, it is not suitable for hiding things... Li Jinyu thought for a while, and suddenly his eyes lit up, he put on his dragon boots and turned around to arrange a small room for the black cat alone.
The black cat is still enjoying a cat party with Lanpin, and there is only its pile of cat toys in the small room.
Li Jinyu found the cat's nest and stuffed the "Longyang Secret Scripture" under the cat's nest.
That's it.
Huo Caiyu didn't know whether it was instinct or a premonition, he couldn't deal with the black cat all the time, and almost never approached the black cat's room, hiding here was safe.
Reassuringly returning to the bedroom, Li Jinyu lay on the dragon couch again, but he never slept as fast and peacefully as last night. He tossed and turned on the bed for a long time before falling asleep in a daze.
In the dream, Huo Caiyu didn't let him go, put him on the dragon couch, and asked him with a smile: "Your Majesty, have you learned all the postures in the "Longyang Secret Scripture"?"
Even in a dream, Li Jinyu could feel Huo Caiyu's scorching breath, which almost melted his whole body.
"Come and help Your Majesty review the past and learn the new."
……
During the three-day break in the morning of the new year, Li Jinyu visited a circle of royal relatives, and his face almost stiffened from laughing.
In the past few years, there were often dead concubines sent out from Emperor Jingchang's harem, which caused the families of high-ranking ministers to dare not send their daughters into the palace; now Your Majesty is not as stupid as before. I heard that the life of concubines in the palace It was much better, and these people began to think about it.
Now the queen's phoenix seat is still empty...
Although ordinary people dare not urge the emperor to marry, there are always some high-ranking princes and wives who are related to the emperor expressly hinting.
The relationship between the Queen Mother and His Majesty is cold, and she never cares about His Majesty's harem affairs, so she can only go to His Majesty directly.
Speaking of it, there was indeed no newcomer in the harem for a whole year.What's more, none of these concubines have given birth to dragon seeds, so they should always be drafted.
Li Jinyu was very annoyed - all the land in the palace was allocated to the concubines of the palaces and courtyards to cultivate land, and the idle yards were not spared, so how could there be room for newcomers to enter the palace?
And... thinking of Huo Caiyu, he felt a little guilty for no reason.
Although he hasn't responded to Huo Caiyu yet...but he thinks with his tail how bad Huo Caiyu's face will be if he knows that he has accepted a new concubine.
Huo Caiyu is going to fight against the country soon, so he can't leave him in a bad mood.
Having found an excuse to feel at ease, Li Jinyu resolutely rejected all "promises" overtly and secretly.
Thinking that these matters should be handled by his concubine in the harem, Li Jinyu called Concubine Hui, implying that he would stand in the way of such matters in the future.
Concubine Hui heard the beginning, and her eyes lit up: "Coincidentally, the sisters in the palace are thinking that there are not enough people to plant seeds in the spring."
Li Jinyu: "..."
He reflected for a while, what exactly had he made of Emperor Jingchang's harem?
"I don't want to accept the harem anymore!" Li Jinyu had no choice but to say clearly, emphatically, "You will help me deal with it later."
As soon as these words came out, Li Jinyu clearly saw a look of obvious disappointment in Concubine Hui's eyes.
Fortunately, Concubine Hui was shrewd and knew who was in charge in the palace, so she obediently agreed, and Li Jinyu was relieved.
Back in the bedroom, Huo Caiyu was already sitting in front of the desk looking at the memorial just like yesterday, with a pot of hot tea and two empty cups beside him.
Seeing Li Jinyu come back, Huo Caiyu poured a cup of tea for Li Jinyu.
Li Jinyu took it and took a sip, his brows and eyes suddenly relaxed.
That's great, he is still familiar with the taste.
Seeing Li Jinyu drinking happily, Huo Caiyu was also very happy in his heart. He pointed to the memorial on the jade case: "I have probably drawn up the military supplies needed to counterattack the cunning country. Your Majesty can send them out later."
Li Jinyu put down his teacup, and he was a little surprised: "Isn't it fine if you approve it in court?"
The smile on Huo Caiyu's face faded slightly, he pursed his lips, and said: "I'm going to leave."
Li Jinyu was stunned for a moment: "Where are you going?"
"Beiyue Pass."
"When?"
"Tonight."
Li Jinyu froze there, his fingers subconsciously curled up: "So fast?"
It's only been two days since Huo Caiyu came back?
"I didn't come back this time to rest." Huo Caiyu looked at Li Jinyu, poured another half a cup of tea for Li Jinyu, and said earnestly, "The soldiers of Beiyueguan are still cleaning the battlefield and waiting for the next battle—— The army is only retreating for the time being, and it will take a lot of effort to counterattack... I can't leave Beiyueguan alone."
Li Jinyu opened his mouth, wanted to say something but couldn't.
Intellectually, he knew what Huo Caiyu said, but emotionally, he was really reluctant to leave Huo Caiyu.
Huo Caiyu saw the undisguised reluctance on His Majesty's face, with joy and guilt mixed in his eyes, and said in a low voice, "Your Majesty, I'm sorry."
Li Jinyu rubbed his nose, controlled his emotions, and tried his best not to look so depressed: "It's okay, I will support you well."
The corner of Huo Caiyu's lips twitched slightly: "Thank you, Your Majesty."
The two suddenly fell silent.
Li Jinyu lowered his head and didn't know what he was thinking, when he suddenly heard Huo Caiyu ask: "Your Majesty, is the congratulatory gift that I gave you still available?"
Li Jinyu's fingers trembled, and he whispered, "I'm carrying it with me."
Li Jinyu searched around the palace for that exquisite jade carving, but he didn't know where to put it.
Putting it among those luxurious decorations seems to desecrate Huo Caiyu's heart, and I'm afraid I won't find it later when I put it in the cabinet.
He simply asked the maid to wear a necklace, and put the jade-carved little hamster on his body directly.
Pulling out the body-warming necklace from the neck, revealing the warm jade hamster inside.
Seeing how much Li Jinyu valued the gift he gave, Huo Caiyu's expression became much brighter.
He stood up and walked forward, and suddenly hugged Li Jinyu lightly.
Li Jinyu was slightly startled, and suddenly heard Huo Caiyu's deep voice: "Your Majesty, don't worry, no matter who your majesty is, I will definitely protect you."
Afterwards, Li Jinyu felt that he was still in a familiar position and lightly branded a touch-and-break kiss.
Before Li Jinyu realized the meaning of this sentence, Huo Caiyu had already let go of him, with the usual expression on his face, and solemnly said: "This time I will return to Beijing in secret, Your Majesty must not disclose this matter to anyone."
After explaining this sentence, he solemnly saluted, turned around and stepped out of the palace.
……
What does Huo Caiyu's words before parting mean?
Li Jinyu lay on the dragon couch, thinking about it carefully, the more he thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong.
This sentence seems normal, but think about it a little deeper... "No matter who your Majesty is"——
Is this implying that his identity has been found out?
Li Jinyu sat up suddenly holding the quilt, feeling flustered.
Could it be that Huo Caiyu saw through Emperor Jingchang's own affairs?
why?
when?
Did he accidentally expose his tail and ears while sleeping? !
But... If Huo Caiyu finds out that he is a goblin, shouldn't he be arrested immediately, and then find some eminent monk or Taoist?
It was like this when Ye Guixiang saw the black cat for the first time.
How could you still communicate with yourself so normally?
The more Li Jinyu thought about it, the more uneasy he felt, he immediately jumped out of bed and called Chang Kang: "Go and bring Big Fatty back from Concubine Lan."
The black cat had a good time at Lanpin's cat party for two days and didn't come back.
When Chang Kangsheng brought it back on the gold plate, the black cat still looked relaxed and confused.
Li Jinyu frowned and looked at it, let Chang Kang go down first, and asked hesitantly, "Don't give birth to a baby in my palace."
Besides, are you worthy of Chi Zhongming?
The black cat is a goblin after all, shaking its head, managed to regain its sanity, and said angrily: "I just smoked some catnip, who wants to have a baby with a group of cats who have no intelligence?"
Li Jinyu breathed a sigh of relief for Chi Zhongming.
"What did you call me back for?" The black cat moved its nose impatiently, then frowned suddenly, "An outsider is here?"
"Huo Caiyu is back."
Li Jinyu got rid of him and interacted closely with Huo Caiyu, briefly described Huo Caiyu's last sentence, and asked anxiously, "Did Huo Caiyu find me?"
The black cat narrowed its eyes slightly: "He's good at doing business for his own sake."
"Ok?"
"For this kind of thing, he, the commander-in-chief of the border army, ran all the way back?" The black cat said in a sour tone, "It's enough for Feige to pass on the letter. If it's not good enough, you can send a trustworthy subordinate."
"You can trust my subordinates..." Li Jinyu subconsciously wanted to refute, but suddenly he was taken aback, and blurted out, "Do you want to delay the bell?"
The black cat moved its ears and silently showed its paws.
"...So did he find me?"
The black cat snorted.But whether Li Jinyu can secure the position of emperor also affects it that has not yet recovered its mana. The black cat still gave its own advice: "Based on my personal experience... If this kind of superficial human being sees through your identity, it must be the first time I want to touch your ears."
Li Jinyu didn't expect such an answer: "Huh?"
"Human hobbies are weird." The black cat moved its ears, "Did Huo Caiyu touch your ears?"
Li Jinyu thought for a while: "That's not true, but..."
But Huo Caiyu kissed him several times, and they all happened to be where the ears were.
—does that count?
Li Jinyu didn't want to tell the black cat about it, so he hesitated and didn't say anything.
The black cat saw that he was hesitating and refused to tell the truth, lost his patience, and mocked: "How can I help you judge if you don't want to tell? If he finds out that you are not yourself, he will usurp the throne. Isn't it what you want?"
Li Jinyu thought about it, and thought it was good: "If he doesn't want to find someone to purify me, it seems really good."
He didn't reveal his identity directly at the beginning, probably because of this.
But now that Huo Caiyu confessed to him... Even if he knew he was a goblin, he probably wouldn't want his life, right?
"Heh." The black cat mocked, "You better pray that he doesn't find out, otherwise he will lock you in a cage in the future, so don't cry."
"What's wrong with the cage?" Li Jinyu looked up suspiciously, "There are food, drinks and rollers."
Black Cat: "..."
It has nothing to say with this kind of domestic hamster.
……
After the new year, the morning court still has to go, and the country's affairs still have to be managed.
The frontier passed back the information of the country's retreat through Feige, and after the Ministry of War presented it, the court immediately rejoiced.
Many ministers who were worried about the menacing attack of the cunning country also quietly breathed a sigh of relief.
The Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Households began to have a headache and awarded rewards to the three armies and the regent.
When Li Jinyu put forward the plan of counterattacking the cunning country, many people immediately opposed it.
The reasons for opposition are nothing more than "refusing to guard the border can keep the peace of the Central Plains, why bother to counterattack other countries and waste the blood and tears of soldiers", "the regent can no longer hold military power, otherwise the country will be unstable" and so on.
There are very few supporters, only Zhou Wenyan and a few others.
Even Huo Caijin's illness in the past few days has caused a large loss of supporters' voices.
"Since Beiyue Pass was built, I, Da Di, seem to have had an illusion." Li Jinyu subconsciously stroked the jade hamster tucked under his dragon robe on his chest, "As long as Beiyue Pass is guarded, you can sit back and relax, and the world will be peaceful."
Baiguan suddenly fell silent.
Li Jinyu recalled the description in the original book that the cunning country attacked the border fiercely and almost turned the inside and outside of Beiyue Pass into a piece of scorched earth, and took a light breath: "As long as the cunning country exists, it will stare at me for a day——Beiyue Pass It's not a natural moat, who among you can guarantee that you can keep it forever?"
No one dared to respond.
"Since the cunning country dared to attack us, why can't we counterattack?" Li Jinyu stood up, patted the armrest of the dragon chair lightly, and said in a clear and powerful voice, "If you are hit in the face and endure it, the cunning country will only feel bad How dare you do it again!"
What's more, the small border countries around Dadi are not the only ones.
The courtiers below were silent for a long while, and suddenly someone said in a naive voice: "Your Majesty's words are true, but now our Di Dynasty army is tired after the battle, so it's better to stop for half a year..."
"The country will only recover faster than us."
All the people in the cunning country are soldiers, and the horses are raised on the grasslands. Unlike them, they have special troops and horse farms. They were lost in a war, and they were raised back after a year of spring rain.
And Dadi has an entire empire as backup, which can fully supply the consumption of this battle.
That's why Huo Caiyu wanted to take advantage of the victory and pursue the attack, forcing the cunning country to have no chance to breathe.
Li Jinyu naturally agreed very much.
The reason for the counterattack against the cunning country is clearly explained, as for the resistance...
Li Jinyu is probably the least worried person in the world that Huo Caiyu will take control of the military.
Look at Huo Caiyu's appearance when he came back this time... Although the whole temperament has changed a lot, it is still Huo Caiyu who makes him feel at ease.
The Minister of the Ministry of War and others tried their best to list a lot of evidence of Huo Caiyu's self-respect in supporting the army, but Li Jinyu completely ignored them.
He doesn't understand these intrigues, but he believes in Huo Caiyu.
——He wished that Huo Caiyu really had two minds!
The counterattack against the cunning country was settled in this way.
Of course, to abide by the agreement with Huo Caiyu, Li Jinyu never mentioned that Huo Caiyu had returned to Beijing.
Although he didn't know what Huo Caiyu was doing.
Since it is necessary to counterattack the cunning country, the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Households must fully mobilize money and food.Just after the new year, everyone is busy again.
Li Jinyu was in the palace but received an audience from General Meng, who had already returned home.
Li Jinyu still has some respect for this half-life general who served in the Di Dynasty.
Inviting the general to sit down and watch tea, Li Jinyu was a little curious: "Why did the general enter the palace?"
General Meng didn't answer immediately, but first looked Li Jinyu's face up and down, and finally sighed softly: "Your Majesty is really like the late emperor."
Li Jinyu was a little confused, so he touched his face: "I and my father are father and son, so they are naturally alike."
General Meng shook his head, sighed again, and said, "I came this time to get some information about the regent."
Li Jinyu was a little surprised: "What information?"
"The regent left the border with his cronies a few years ago." Speaking of business, General Meng took out two letters from his pocket, "However, Beiyue Pass came to Beiyue Pass to pass the letter, saying that the regent has been staying in the army."
Li Jinyu was taken aback for a moment, thinking that Huo Caiyu's secret return to Beijing was discovered by General Meng.
After receiving the letter and looking at it, I found out that this was not the case.
The letter lists several imperial spies and the eyeliners of the Meng family and the Han family in various places who witnessed it. Huo Caiyu left Beiyueguan and went to the south of the Yangtze River first, and then came towards the capital, and lost his trace when he approached the capital.
Look at the time when Huo Caiyu left the border... It was nearly half a month before New Year's Eve.
Li Jinyu was stunned.
He thought that Huo Caiyu ran back directly from the border... so it wasn't?
His first thought was that General Meng was lying to him.
It's just that the eyeliner listed by the general is very detailed, and most of it is the intelligence of the imperial court. He can transfer the file to compare, and it is meaningless to fake it.
If this information is true... What did Huo Caiyu go to Jiangnan?
Li Jinyu frowned.
General Meng picked up the teacup next to him and took a sip before putting it down, his eyes were heavy: "Your Majesty, the regent is a loyal minister of Dadi who chases traitors and establishes border gates; but if he has two hearts, he is a sinner of Dadi! "
In his heart, Li Jinyu supported Huo Caiyu's usurpation of the throne, but he couldn't hear what others said about him, so he immediately retorted: "Huo Aiqing is not that kind of person."
"Leaving the army without purpose, traveling to and from Jiangnan and Nanjing cities is already a big taboo!" General Meng shook his head, "I have been in the army for decades, and there are people who act like this..."
He took out the second piece of information, with a hint of sadness in his eyes, "This is... the recent deployment of the imperial guards in the capital."
Li Jinyu took it over and glanced at it. The complicated relationship made him dizzy: "What does this mean?"
"Since the downfall of Ye Guixiang, the officers in the Forbidden Army have been quietly and slowly replaced." General Meng clicked on the information, "Most of them will be responsible for the security near the palace and replaced the Forbidden Army with new faces."
Li Jinyu felt the deep meaning in General Meng's words, and frowned: "This matter may not necessarily have anything to do with the regent."
Huo Caiyu handled many government affairs, but the army, especially the imperial army directly in charge of the emperor, did not interfere, in order to avoid suspicion.
Li Jinyu himself didn't bother to control the military, and had been letting them arrange according to the past rules.
"How do you know it's not Mingxiu's plank road secretly going to Chen Cang?" General Meng snorted, "Why do you need to frequently move the palace guards during normal scheduling! If I didn't check it out on purpose, I might not be able to find it!"
Li Jinyu pursed his lips: "Based on what the general saw?"
"Your Majesty, is it the regent who wrote to you alone for the plan to counterattack the cunning country?" General Meng stood up suddenly, "I suggest that your majesty immediately stop the plan to counterattack the cunning country, temporarily control the Huo family, and the gold medal will recall the regent."
Gold medal recall is almost like iron 30340 doom for generals outside.
Li Jinyu shook his head without hesitation, and put the evidence back on the case: "Now it is imperative to counterattack the cunning country. I can't stop the army from advancing because of this kind of thing."
General Meng frowned, and his voice was a little harsher: "Your Majesty, this is about the country and the country!"
"Counterattacking the cunning country is also for the country and the country."
General Meng glared at Li Jinyu, as if he was about to lose his temper on the spot.
He was really angry with Emperor Jingchang in the past, but although Emperor Jingchang didn't move him, he didn't listen to him, and only mingled with Ye Chengxiang.
Now His Majesty is not as stupid as before, but blindly trusting people with ulterior motives is still the same as before!
General Meng suddenly seemed to lose his strength, and the anger on his face slowly dissipated. After a moment of silence, he let out a long sigh, turned his head and walked away.
Li Jinyu almost thought that General Meng was going to beat him just now, and wondered where he should hide.
The black cat lay on the soft couch and watched the whole scene, and then sneered when there was no one left: "Meng Chilang is still as stubborn as before."
Li Jinyu slowly came back to his senses, a little worried: "Is he all right?"
Thinking about how stubbornly he blindly believed in Huo Caiyu and ignored the evidence, General Meng must have died of anger.
"Leave him alone, although he is stubborn, he is still loyal to the emperor." The black cat said disdainfully, "I will know a foolish loyalty in my life, hmph."
The black cat turned its head, "You might as well worry about what happened to Huo Caiyu."
Li Jinyu pursed his lips, picked up the information and read it carefully again.
According to the intelligence, Huo Caiyu went to a certain county in the south of the Yangtze River with a confidant, and then disappeared; when he reappeared, he had arrived near the capital.
Afterwards, Huo Caiyu should have rushed into the capital and arrived at the palace...
Li Jinyu felt a little uncomfortable.
He was not afraid of Huo Caiyu usurping power, but he was somewhat concerned that Huo Caiyu didn't tell him about going to Jiangnan at all.
This thought lingered in his head, and he couldn't help but despise himself a little.
I am not someone like Huo Caiyu, why should Huo Caiyu report everything to herself?
But even though he thought so rationally, Li Jinyu was still inexplicably panicked.
——Perhaps Huo Caiyu really was plotting to usurp the throne... That's why I didn't tell him.
Li Jinyu could only comfort himself in this way.
The black cat seemed to have seen through Li Jinyu's thoughts, and suddenly sneered: "Don't think about it, Huo Caiyu will definitely not usurp the throne."
Li Jinyu didn't expect the black cat to be more confident than himself, and subconsciously retorted: "Who said?"
"Huo Caiyu probably wants to be your queen now." The black cat clicked his tongue, gloating, "You did not make a mistake in arranging him in Jiaolan Palace."
Now Li Jinyu already knew that Jiaolan Palace was the queen's exclusive palace.Hearing the black cat mentioning the embarrassing things about him back then, he couldn't help but blush, and forced himself to say: "How do you know that he didn't want to usurp the throne and become emperor, and then make me queen?"
Originally, these words were just to piss off the black cat, but when he said it, Li Jinyu himself was stunned.
Then his eyes suddenly lit up.
Right!
He had been wondering how Huo Caiyu should usurp the throne after confessing his love to him... How could he forget this?
Huo Caiyu can completely blacken and usurp the throne in order to "monopolize" him, and then make himself a queen!
In this way, all logic can be self-consistent!
The pages of the book are intact and there is no trace of opening...
Huo Caiyu is not the kind of person who rummages through other people's things casually, maybe he really didn't find it?
He had long forgotten what it looked like when it was stuffed in, and he couldn't tell whether Huo Caiyu had discovered it.
Li Jinyu looked at those vivid diagrams, blushed and stuffed the book back under the pillow.Thinking it was too unsafe here, I took out the book again.

The black cat is still enjoying a cat party with Lanpin, and there is only its pile of cat toys in the small room.
Li Jinyu found the cat's nest and stuffed the "Longyang Secret Scripture" under the cat's nest.
That's it.
Huo Caiyu didn't know whether it was instinct or a premonition, he couldn't deal with the black cat all the time, and almost never approached the black cat's room, hiding here was safe.
Reassuringly returning to the bedroom, Li Jinyu lay on the dragon couch again, but he never slept as fast and peacefully as last night. He tossed and turned on the bed for a long time before falling asleep in a daze.

Li Jinyu was stunned for a moment: "Where are you going?"
"Beiyue Pass."
"When?"
"Tonight."
Li Jinyu froze there, his fingers subconsciously curled up: "So fast?"
It's only been two days since Huo Caiyu came back?
"I didn't come back this time to rest." Huo Caiyu looked at Li Jinyu, poured another half a cup of tea for Li Jinyu, and said earnestly, "The soldiers of Beiyueguan are still cleaning the battlefield and waiting for the next battle—— The army is only retreating for the time being, and it will take a lot of effort to counterattack... I can't leave Beiyueguan alone."

It was like this when Ye Guixiang saw the black cat for the first time.
How could you still communicate with yourself so normally?
The more Li Jinyu thought about it, the more uneasy he felt, he immediately jumped out of bed and called Chang Kang: "Go and bring Big Fatty back from Concubine Lan."
The black cat had a good time at Lanpin's cat party for two days and didn't come back.
When Chang Kangsheng brought it back on the gold plate, the black cat still looked relaxed and confused.
Li Jinyu frowned and looked at it, let Chang Kang go down first, and asked hesitantly, "Don't give birth to a baby in my palace."
Besides, are you worthy of Chi Zhongming?
The black cat is a goblin after all, shaking its head, managed to regain its sanity, and said angrily: "I just smoked some catnip, who wants to have a baby with a group of cats who have no intelligence?"
Li Jinyu breathed a sigh of relief for Chi Zhongming.
"What did you call me back for?" The black cat moved its nose impatiently, then frowned suddenly, "An outsider is here?"
"Huo Caiyu is back."
Li Jinyu got rid of him and interacted closely with Huo Caiyu, briefly described Huo Caiyu's last sentence, and asked anxiously, "Did Huo Caiyu find me?"
The black cat narrowed its eyes slightly: "He's good at doing business for his own sake."
"Ok?"
"For this kind of thing, he, the commander-in-chief of the border army, ran all the way back?" The black cat said in a sour tone, "It's enough for Feige to pass on the letter. If it's not good enough, you can send a trustworthy subordinate."
"You can trust my subordinates..." Li Jinyu subconsciously wanted to refute, but suddenly he was taken aback, and blurted out, "Do you want to delay the bell?"
The black cat moved its ears and silently showed its paws.
"...So did he find me?"
The black cat snorted.But whether Li Jinyu can secure the position of emperor also affects it that has not yet recovered its mana. The black cat still gave its own advice: "Based on my personal experience... If this kind of superficial human being sees through your identity, it must be the first time I want to touch your ears."
Li Jinyu didn't expect such an answer: "Huh?"
"Human hobbies are weird." The black cat moved its ears, "Did Huo Caiyu touch your ears?"
Li Jinyu thought for a while: "That's not true, but..."
But Huo Caiyu kissed him several times, and they all happened to be where the ears were.
—does that count?
Li Jinyu didn't want to tell the black cat about it, so he hesitated and didn't say anything.
The black cat saw that he was hesitating and refused to tell the truth, lost his patience, and mocked: "How can I help you judge if you don't want to tell? If he finds out that you are not yourself, he will usurp the throne. Isn't it what you want?"
Li Jinyu thought about it, and thought it was good: "If he doesn't want to find someone to purify me, it seems really good."
He didn't reveal his identity directly at the beginning, probably because of this.
But now that Huo Caiyu confessed to him... Even if he knew he was a goblin, he probably wouldn't want his life, right?
"Heh." The black cat mocked, "You better pray that he doesn't find out, otherwise he will lock you in a cage in the future, so don't cry."
"What's wrong with the cage?" Li Jinyu looked up suspiciously, "There are food, drinks and rollers."
Black Cat: "..."
It has nothing to say with this kind of domestic hamster.
……
After the new year, the morning court still has to go, and the country's affairs still have to be managed.
The frontier passed back the information of the country's retreat through Feige, and after the Ministry of War presented it, the court immediately rejoiced.
Many ministers who were worried about the menacing attack of the cunning country also quietly breathed a sigh of relief.
The Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Households began to have a headache and awarded rewards to the three armies and the regent.
When Li Jinyu put forward the plan of counterattacking the cunning country, many people immediately opposed it.
The reasons for opposition are nothing more than "refusing to guard the border can keep the peace of the Central Plains, why bother to counterattack other countries and waste the blood and tears of soldiers", "the regent can no longer hold military power, otherwise the country will be unstable" and so on.
There are very few supporters, only Zhou Wenyan and a few others.
Even Huo Caijin's illness in the past few days has caused a large loss of supporters' voices.
"Since Beiyue Pass was built, I, Da Di, seem to have had an illusion." Li Jinyu subconsciously stroked the jade hamster tucked under his dragon robe on his chest, "As long as Beiyue Pass is guarded, you can sit back and relax, and the world will be peaceful."
Baiguan suddenly fell silent.
Li Jinyu recalled the description in the original book that the cunning country attacked the border fiercely and almost turned the inside and outside of Beiyue Pass into a piece of scorched earth, and took a light breath: "As long as the cunning country exists, it will stare at me for a day——Beiyue Pass It's not a natural moat, who among you can guarantee that you can keep it forever?"
No one dared to respond.
"Since the cunning country dared to attack us, why can't we counterattack?" Li Jinyu stood up, patted the armrest of the dragon chair lightly, and said in a clear and powerful voice, "If you are hit in the face and endure it, the cunning country will only feel bad How dare you do it again!"
What's more, the small border countries around Dadi are not the only ones.
The courtiers below were silent for a long while, and suddenly someone said in a naive voice: "Your Majesty's words are true, but now our Di Dynasty army is tired after the battle, so it's better to stop for half a year..."
"The country will only recover faster than us."
All the people in the cunning country are soldiers, and the horses are raised on the grasslands. Unlike them, they have special troops and horse farms. They were lost in a war, and they were raised back after a year of spring rain.
And Dadi has an entire empire as backup, which can fully supply the consumption of this battle.
That's why Huo Caiyu wanted to take advantage of the victory and pursue the attack, forcing the cunning country to have no chance to breathe.
Li Jinyu naturally agreed very much.
The reason for the counterattack against the cunning country is clearly explained, as for the resistance...
Li Jinyu is probably the least worried person in the world that Huo Caiyu will take control of the military.
Look at Huo Caiyu's appearance when he came back this time... Although the whole temperament has changed a lot, it is still Huo Caiyu who makes him feel at ease.
The Minister of the Ministry of War and others tried their best to list a lot of evidence of Huo Caiyu's self-respect in supporting the army, but Li Jinyu completely ignored them.
He doesn't understand these intrigues, but he believes in Huo Caiyu.
——He wished that Huo Caiyu really had two minds!
The counterattack against the cunning country was settled in this way.
Of course, to abide by the agreement with Huo Caiyu, Li Jinyu never mentioned that Huo Caiyu had returned to Beijing.
Although he didn't know what Huo Caiyu was doing.
Since it is necessary to counterattack the cunning country, the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Households must fully mobilize money and food.Just after the new year, everyone is busy again.
Li Jinyu was in the palace but received an audience from General Meng, who had already returned home.
Li Jinyu still has some respect for this half-life general who served in the Di Dynasty.
Inviting the general to sit down and watch tea, Li Jinyu was a little curious: "Why did the general enter the palace?"
General Meng didn't answer immediately, but first looked Li Jinyu's face up and down, and finally sighed softly: "Your Majesty is really like the late emperor."
Li Jinyu was a little confused, so he touched his face: "I and my father are father and son, so they are naturally alike."
General Meng shook his head, sighed again, and said, "I came this time to get some information about the regent."
Li Jinyu was a little surprised: "What information?"
"The regent left the border with his cronies a few years ago." Speaking of business, General Meng took out two letters from his pocket, "However, Beiyue Pass came to Beiyue Pass to pass the letter, saying that the regent has been staying in the army."
Li Jinyu was taken aback for a moment, thinking that Huo Caiyu's secret return to Beijing was discovered by General Meng.
After receiving the letter and looking at it, I found out that this was not the case.
The letter lists several imperial spies and the eyeliners of the Meng family and the Han family in various places who witnessed it. Huo Caiyu left Beiyueguan and went to the south of the Yangtze River first, and then came towards the capital, and lost his trace when he approached the capital.
Look at the time when Huo Caiyu left the border... It was nearly half a month before New Year's Eve.
Li Jinyu was stunned.
He thought that Huo Caiyu ran back directly from the border... so it wasn't?
His first thought was that General Meng was lying to him.
It's just that the eyeliner listed by the general is very detailed, and most of it is the intelligence of the imperial court. He can transfer the file to compare, and it is meaningless to fake it.
If this information is true... What did Huo Caiyu go to Jiangnan?
Li Jinyu frowned.
General Meng picked up the teacup next to him and took a sip before putting it down, his eyes were heavy: "Your Majesty, the regent is a loyal minister of Dadi who chases traitors and establishes border gates; but if he has two hearts, he is a sinner of Dadi! "
In his heart, Li Jinyu supported Huo Caiyu's usurpation of the throne, but he couldn't hear what others said about him, so he immediately retorted: "Huo Aiqing is not that kind of person."
"Leaving the army without purpose, traveling to and from Jiangnan and Nanjing cities is already a big taboo!" General Meng shook his head, "I have been in the army for decades, and there are people who act like this..."
He took out the second piece of information, with a hint of sadness in his eyes, "This is... the recent deployment of the imperial guards in the capital."
Li Jinyu took it over and glanced at it. The complicated relationship made him dizzy: "What does this mean?"
"Since the downfall of Ye Guixiang, the officers in the Forbidden Army have been quietly and slowly replaced." General Meng clicked on the information, "Most of them will be responsible for the security near the palace and replaced the Forbidden Army with new faces."
Li Jinyu felt the deep meaning in General Meng's words, and frowned: "This matter may not necessarily have anything to do with the regent."
Huo Caiyu handled many government affairs, but the army, especially the imperial army directly in charge of the emperor, did not interfere, in order to avoid suspicion.
Li Jinyu himself didn't bother to control the military, and had been letting them arrange according to the past rules.
"How do you know it's not Mingxiu's plank road secretly going to Chen Cang?" General Meng snorted, "Why do you need to frequently move the palace guards during normal scheduling! If I didn't check it out on purpose, I might not be able to find it!"
Li Jinyu pursed his lips: "Based on what the general saw?"
"Your Majesty, is it the regent who wrote to you alone for the plan to counterattack the cunning country?" General Meng stood up suddenly, "I suggest that your majesty immediately stop the plan to counterattack the cunning country, temporarily control the Huo family, and the gold medal will recall the regent."
Gold medal recall is almost like iron 30340 doom for generals outside.
Li Jinyu shook his head without hesitation, and put the evidence back on the case: "Now it is imperative to counterattack the cunning country. I can't stop the army from advancing because of this kind of thing."
General Meng frowned, and his voice was a little harsher: "Your Majesty, this is about the country and the country!"
"Counterattacking the cunning country is also for the country and the country."
General Meng glared at Li Jinyu, as if he was about to lose his temper on the spot.
He was really angry with Emperor Jingchang in the past, but although Emperor Jingchang didn't move him, he didn't listen to him, and only mingled with Ye Chengxiang.
Now His Majesty is not as stupid as before, but blindly trusting people with ulterior motives is still the same as before!
General Meng suddenly seemed to lose his strength, and the anger on his face slowly dissipated. After a moment of silence, he let out a long sigh, turned his head and walked away.
Li Jinyu almost thought that General Meng was going to beat him just now, and wondered where he should hide.
The black cat lay on the soft couch and watched the whole scene, and then sneered when there was no one left: "Meng Chilang is still as stubborn as before."
Li Jinyu slowly came back to his senses, a little worried: "Is he all right?"
Thinking about how stubbornly he blindly believed in Huo Caiyu and ignored the evidence, General Meng must have died of anger.
"Leave him alone, although he is stubborn, he is still loyal to the emperor." The black cat said disdainfully, "I will know a foolish loyalty in my life, hmph."
The black cat turned its head, "You might as well worry about what happened to Huo Caiyu."
Li Jinyu pursed his lips, picked up the information and read it carefully again.
According to the intelligence, Huo Caiyu went to a certain county in the south of the Yangtze River with a confidant, and then disappeared; when he reappeared, he had arrived near the capital.
Afterwards, Huo Caiyu should have rushed into the capital and arrived at the palace...
Li Jinyu felt a little uncomfortable.
He was not afraid of Huo Caiyu usurping power, but he was somewhat concerned that Huo Caiyu didn't tell him about going to Jiangnan at all.
This thought lingered in his head, and he couldn't help but despise himself a little.
I am not someone like Huo Caiyu, why should Huo Caiyu report everything to herself?
But even though he thought so rationally, Li Jinyu was still inexplicably panicked.
——Perhaps Huo Caiyu really was plotting to usurp the throne... That's why I didn't tell him.
Li Jinyu could only comfort himself in this way.
The black cat seemed to have seen through Li Jinyu's thoughts, and suddenly sneered: "Don't think about it, Huo Caiyu will definitely not usurp the throne."
Li Jinyu didn't expect the black cat to be more confident than himself, and subconsciously retorted: "Who said?"
"Huo Caiyu probably wants to be your queen now." The black cat clicked his tongue, gloating, "You did not make a mistake in arranging him in Jiaolan Palace."
Now Li Jinyu already knew that Jiaolan Palace was the queen's exclusive palace.Hearing the black cat mentioning the embarrassing things about him back then, he couldn't help but blush, and forced himself to say: "How do you know that he didn't want to usurp the throne and become emperor, and then make me queen?"
Originally, these words were just to piss off the black cat, but when he said it, Li Jinyu himself was stunned.
Then his eyes suddenly lit up.
Right!
He had been wondering how Huo Caiyu should usurp the throne after confessing his love to him... How could he forget this?
Huo Caiyu can completely blacken and usurp the throne in order to "monopolize" him, and then make himself a queen!
In this way, all logic can be self-consistent!
