[Red House] But for the sake of the king

"Master Lin stayed inside for a while, and when he came out, his complexion was not very good."

Jun Qi was a little apprehensive, what could the old man do with him at this time?Thinking of the order he gave before, Jun Qi asked, "How many people are there in the Lin family?"

"There are only two people guarding it, because the emperor told him not to let Mr. Lin find out, and Mr. Lin seems to have expert guards around him, so he didn't send anyone to protect him."

Jun Qi nodded, he naturally knew about it.It's just that he never doubted Ru Hai from the very beginning, and he didn't want to let such suspicion destroy their relationship, so he didn't even think about asking.But thinking about it now, he was probably too relieved, so that he didn't know anything about Ru Hai's private actions in recent years.

After thinking for a long time, Jun Qi finally didn't let anyone stop Lin Ruhai.He didn't want to let his momentary speculation ruin the trust between the two over the years, or in other words, he didn't want to believe that Lin Ruhai would betray him from the bottom of his heart.

With the loss of Wang Ziteng, a general, and Jun Hu being controlled by Jun Qi, his power in the south of the Yangtze River was quickly eroded by Jun Qi secretly.Except for a small number of these people who fled with Jun Hu back then, most of them were thugs he recruited from various places. In the eyes of the court, they were just a group of mobs and did not spend much effort.What really worries Jun Qi is the war in the north.

I don't know if there is any expert in Goryeo to help, although the troops are not very strong, but relying on the [-] cavalry borrowed from the Tatars, they are so powerful that they are difficult to resist for a while.Fortunately, the army arrived in time, and finally stopped the defeat, but it was difficult to beat them back in a short time.

While Jun Qi was always waiting for the battle report ahead, he was also waiting for when Lin Ruhai would come to him.Just watching the days go by day by day, Lin Ruhai didn't feel strange at all.Neither asked him to say anything, nor went to see the Supreme Emperor again, as if nothing happened.On the other hand, the Supreme Emperor, whose condition became more and more serious, insisted that Jun Qi must personally promise to let Jun Hu go, and called Jun Qi several times a day.

Jun Qi couldn't say why, he had already made a decision in his heart, but he didn't want to let go.

On this day, Jun Qi and several ministers were discussing the battle report on the front line, and the Supreme Emperor ordered someone to come and invite him.Several ministers had different expressions, and they clearly knew about the abnormal behavior of the Supreme Emperor recently.Only Lin Ruhai looked as usual, but his heart was hanging.

Jun Qi dismissed the ministers, leaving Lin Ruhai alone, and at this time only Ruhai could listen to his complaints.

"The old man is doing well now. Although he can't get out of bed, he is in good spirits. He urges me several times a day, for fear that I will kill the boss while he is not paying attention." Jun Qi seemed to be complaining, but with a hint of temptation, "Tell me, what else can I do if he has already done this? I can't really ignore my father, son and brother. Besides, if I really want to kill him, I have already done it, so why wait until now."

Lin Ruhai said, "The Supreme Emperor is old, and in such a situation, I am afraid that you can only rest assured with your personal promise."

Jun Qi asked, "Do you also think I should agree to the Supreme Emperor?"

Lin Ruhai was taken aback for a moment, and then replied, "Of course you make up your own mind on this matter, I dare not have any thoughts. Besides, you already have a conclusion in your heart, and it doesn't matter what others say. It's just that the Supreme Emperor is like this now. People in the previous court were panicked, and they were all guessing whether the Supreme Emperor wanted your brother to die. Either kill or let go, you should make up your mind quickly, sooner rather than later."

Jun Qi thought about it again, but couldn't understand what he meant, "You are right, we need to settle down as soon as possible. It's just that every time I see the old man, I think of what he said before, and I feel uncomfortable and very responsive. "

Lin Ruhai remained silent, this matter was not something he could talk about, even if he was persuaded, he couldn't open his mouth.But that matter really needs to be concluded as soon as possible, otherwise I am afraid that the Supreme Emperor will find him again.These days Jun Qi's speech is a bit weird, and I don't know if it's a temptation, there must be Jun Qi's people around the Supreme Emperor, so he must have let him know when he went in so grandiosely last time.But Jun Qi didn't even mention it, so he didn't want to take the initiative to talk about it, not to mention he couldn't explain it clearly.

In the silence for a while, Jun Qi thought, it seems that there were many such silences in the first few years, but now they are almost gone.He and Ru Hai managed to get to this point, is it possible that they have to go back to the original point for this matter?

"Forget it, you should go back first, I'll go to the Supreme Emperor to have a look."

Some things need to be clarified.

The Supreme Emperor was very excited to see Jun Qi, and finally called someone over, "You are here."

Jun Qi sneered, "Father yelled so urgently, in front of all the ministers, if I still don't come, wouldn't it be the case that our father and son don't get along well?"

The Supreme Emperor doesn't care about his harsh words now, and he doesn't care about the little dignity left after telling the whole story of the year.Anyway, he was lying on the bed unable to move, as long as he could save his son's life, it would be worth it.

"Why would I want someone to disturb you from time to time? My days are numbered, as long as you say a word."

Jun Qi smiled and said, "Why is my father so persistent, even if I agree now, what can I do, my father is not afraid that I will go back on my word in the future?"

The Supreme Emperor said, "Your temperament will never do such a thing."

Jun Qi didn't know if he should take this as a compliment. Compared to his father, he was indeed not a good emperor.

"Father, you can agree if you want me to, but there is one thing you want to ask Father. The reason you summoned Lin Ruhai that day was for the eldest brother?"

"Hehe, you really didn't ask him. Your temperament has been like this since you were a child. You look very shrewd, but you are willing to keep many things in your heart. You must have guessed for a long time before you decided to ask me. You guessed it. good."

Jun Qi was a little embarrassed, it was really embarrassing to be exposed so bluntly. "He can't be the master of what Father asked him to do. Or if there is something else, Father doesn't want to say it clearly."

"Oh, I don't know the things that woman can know? Tell me how many things have passed through his hands over the years, and it has spread all over the world. Master Lin has won the heart of the emperor. Anyone who asks for it , Your Majesty is not allowed to play." The Supreme Emperor said the truth, but he didn't tell everything, "If you really don't believe it, just ask him. He was single-handedly selected by you. Is there anything worthy of your doubts? of?"

Jun Qi couldn't completely believe what he said, "Father is someone who has been there before, don't you know that people's hearts are sometimes the most elusive, especially as an emperor, sometimes there are traitors around, it's not surprising."

The Supreme Emperor sighed, "If someone listens to what you said, wouldn't it be another storm. I didn't expect you and him to be able to come to this day, but your temperament really needs to be changed. If I were in front of him at this moment If it is unfavorable, do you really want to doubt him? If there are no such things above, I really want to get rid of him, the emperor should not have any worries in his heart, and it will drag you down sooner or later."

Jun Qi didn't expect the Supreme Emperor to speak so bluntly, and he couldn't respond for a while.Since the Supreme Emperor has this plan, he must be sure enough to make the two of them turn against each other.It's really hard to say whether he can trust Ru Hai at that time.After all, this time it was just a summons, so he was a little hesitant.In the past, Ru Hai was always under his control, so he didn't think much about it, but now he let go of it more and more, and at the first mention, he felt a little worried.

The Supreme Emperor sighed, if he hadn't really seen through Lin Ruhai and treated each other sincerely, he would never have been so merciful.As long as he is around, Lin Ruhai must not let Jun Qi's throne be threatened.Now he couldn't stare at her anymore, and after thinking about it for a while, he finally decided to trust Lin Ruhai, because he didn't want the tragedy of the year to repeat itself.It is said that the nephew, Uncle Xiao, did not expect that these two sons were planted in the hands of a man, and they probably followed him.

That afternoon, Jun Qi talked with Jun Hu for a long time, and at night they sent someone to send him back to Jiangnan.Naturally, he was not released, but he was placed under house arrest in another place.Fortunately, Jun Hu didn't resist at all at this moment. Knowing that the daughter rescued by the Su family and the daughter of the Su family were all well, he even thanked Jun Qi, but he didn't want to see them again.

Since then, the offensive of the Goryeo army has weakened a lot. King Beijing took the opportunity to counterattack aggressively, and finally turned passive into active, truly dominating the entire battle situation.And one month later, a small courtyard in the south of the Yangtze River where Jun Hu lived welcomed another master who came from afar.

Jun Qi kept what the Supreme Emperor said in his heart, and only picked up what Jun Hu could say and told Lin Ruhai.Lin Li hugged the man and sighed, "Brother and I are real brothers. Behind him is Su Ming'an who supports him regardless of his wealth and life, but I am not bad. I have you as a good helper. He is right. The two of you They are all virtuous housemates.”

Lin Ruhai felt a little guilty, thinking that she was not as capable of sacrificing her own child as Su Mingan, and even ignored the entire Su family.He didn't want to talk about this anymore, so he changed the subject, "Now that the frontline has received many good news, it must be not far from the triumphant return of the army."

Jun Qi also said that he was embarrassed, so he stopped talking about "a good wife" and said, "If the Tatars don't intervene, they will be able to withdraw their troops in about a month. I'm afraid that the Tatars will not die of ambition and launch a surprise attack. Yelvding’s influence in Tatar is now stronger than before, and it’s easy for spies to find out such things as military deployment, so I’m still a little worried.”

Lin Ruhai said, "The Tatars are willing to borrow troops, and it's not without Su Ming'an's handwriting, or maybe there are other benefits. Tatars now send people to the pilgrimage every year, and it is Yeluding and Yeluqi who came here. If they didn't know that there would be civil strife, how could they rush to send troops. Even if the Tatars are training their troops in secret, the military expenditures cannot be concealed. What they train is mainly cavalry, and the increase or decrease of horses is even more obvious. Let me say, scattered Get some news out, after all, solving the internal problems is also a happy event, and it should make them happy together."

Jun Qi smiled and said, "Yes, yes, this plan is very good. But I have to remind Shui Jun to be careful, once being attacked by two sides, it will be uncomfortable. Hey, I really shouldn't let Shui Rong go with him, if it hurts Where is it, don't you want to feel distressed?"

"I'm just talking about serious things, why are you talking about this?" Lin Ruhai was impatient to lift the water, and he was a little unhappy, "I'm taking him with me, so I'm afraid that something will happen. If you have the time, you should go to the emperor and queen mother more often." Let’s go, the rare honor of filial piety must not be lost, the common people outside are all praising it, the majestic Son of Heaven personally serves the decoction, day in and day out.”

Jun Qi said, "The old man has been unable to eat since yesterday. As for the queen mother, hmph, if the old man hadn't said that he had his own plans, how could I let her live until today."

Although the queen mother has been kind to him, she was responsible for the elder brother's affairs, and she also wrote about the difficult childbirth of the mother mother, one by one, not to mention the family law, even the national law could not tolerate her.But on the surface, she is still the Queen Mother and the emperor's biological mother, so she cannot be neglected.Fortunately, there is still the Supreme Emperor. Back then, she worked so hard to win favor, but now letting her go with the Supreme Emperor actually fulfilled her wish.

After a thunderstorm, the Supreme Emperor closed his eyes with peace of mind.The Empress Dowager was so distraught that she stayed sick the next day, and reunited with the Empress Dowager on Huangquan Road within a month.

At the same time, good news came from the front line. The army defeated Goryeo severely, and they will be able to return to the court in a few days.
