Forced to farm for the princess

Wei Ruojin carefully looked at the news that came over, "He wants to detain us in the capital?"

Lin Heng lowered his eyes, snorted coldly, and said, "I'm afraid, I don't just want to detain us in the capital!"

"He wants the Northwest?"

Lin Heng sighed and said, "Northwest is now a piece of fertile land. Even if it is calculated according to the previous tax revenue, the annual tax revenue in Northwest China can be equivalent to one year's treasury revenue in Dachang. .”

"You mean the treasury has no money?" Wei Ruojin was surprised.

"It's not that I don't have money, it's just that the money is not too much. I owed the food to the Northwest a few years ago, and the food for the past two years has been given by the Northwest."

"Isn't there still no money?" Wei Jijin pouted, and suddenly asked: "Lin Kang can be the master? I haven't heard how the eldest prince is doing."

"The First Prince only listens and doesn't talk now. It's very different from before. He must have heard something from someone. Lin Kang is still as cautious as before, but he still acts a little perverted." Lin Heng thought about the recent acquisition. He frowned at the news, the news that he was not in Kyoto was still a little bit off.

"You... want to go to the capital?" Wei Ruojin looked at him and asked back.

Lin Heng didn't make a sound.

Wei Ruojin thought for a while, and said, "The internal officials haven't arrived yet, so make some preparations before going to the capital. If you are really detained in the capital, you won't be too passive."

Lin Heng smiled, "I'll go find my grandfather tomorrow."

Lin Heng left early the next morning, and Wei Ruojin directly called Taishou Yin, Mr. Du and others to the Governor's Mansion, and arranged things for at least the next year.

This is Wei Ruojin's worst plan. Staying in the capital for one year is the maximum time limit. It would be better if he could come back earlier. If there is an emergency, the Northwest will not be held in the hands of the new officials. .

"My lord, apart from the long-term plans for the past two years, there are almost no plans for more than one year. This..." Prefect Yin was the first to follow Lin Heng, and he was also the one who believed in Lin Heng from the beginning. ; Therefore, one can more or less guess the meaning of the two upper peaks in the palace.

"Let's do this for the time being. What is the specific matter? You will know in a few days. Follow the plan first. If there is any accident, it will be discussed by Prefect Yin and Mr. Du." Wei Ruojin looked at the plan in his hand again , Confirm that there is basically nothing missing before handing it out.

Although Du Ming had opened the court a long time ago, it wasn't that he didn't know anything about it. He somewhat guessed what happened this time, so he readily agreed.

As soon as Wei Ruojin arrived at the palace, Housekeeper Shang sent a letter.

"Mr. Du sent someone to send it?" Wei Ruojin was a little puzzled, if there was something to do, why didn't he just send it to him directly, and sent a special letter later.

The letter was a bit thick, Wei Ruojin opened the letter, and found a list and basic information. As far as he knew, the people on the list were about to retire.Immediately, he understood Du Ming's intentions, and with the contents of this letter, it would be much more convenient in the capital.

"Tell Mr. Du for me to invite him to drink next year." Wei Ruojin smiled and said, "Sweet potatoes and new grains can make wine, let's try it in the house first."

After thinking about it again, the wine made from grain now has a relatively low alcohol content, most of which are sweet wine; , of course alcohol can be used.

Everything was arranged properly, and Lin Heng came back. It seemed that the talk had been settled, but Wei Ruojin didn't ask, thinking that the officials would be coming soon in a few days, so he packed up and saluted. The medicine is all kinds of seasonings.There are all kinds of delicious and delicious food in the northwest, and the taste has long been cultivated, so you have to bring seeds.

If you stay in Kyoto for too long and you run out of seasonings, you can plant some.

"You're like this, it's as if we were playing in the past. Look at any princess who is recalled to the capital and is not worried." Lin Heng was a little worried that he would not be able to protect Wei Ruojin in the capital, but he did not expect him to be so relaxed.

"We're relaxed, others won't be nervous, how about it? Your soldier who has been raised for two years." Wei Ruojin looked at Lin Heng and asked.

"Before returning to the palace, I have sent people to the capital in batches, so you don't have to worry."

"I've never been worried. I've handed over everything these two days, and suddenly I'm idle. I don't know when the internal officer will arrive, hey."

Lin Heng laughed, "You are really... You didn't treat the internal officials like this before, especially the internal officials Cai, how scared you are."

"Where did I scare him? When you are a guest, you have to know the rules of being a guest. This Northwest Prince's Mansion is my house. They came to my house to show off their power. I just taught him the rules of being a guest."

Lin Heng actually felt that what Wei Ruojin said was very reasonable, and could not find anything unreasonable.

"you're right."

After waiting for several days, the internal official from the capital came slowly; when the internal official came, he resolutely refused to enter the Northwest Palace, and was only willing to read aloud outside.As soon as he finished reading, he stood behind the guards and refused to show his face.

"You've frightened people out of their wits, and they dare not enter the palace." Lin Heng leaned into Wei Ruojin's ear and said.

Wei Ruojin gave him an annoyed look, "It's not that I'm afraid of me, it's clear that it's no good to invite us to the capital this time, and once we enter the palace, we won't be able to get out. If I really want to do something to him, he really can't do anything." Get out of Xinglin City alive."

"Yes, yes, you are the only one who is good, then I will send someone to load the car."

The two walked towards the palace hand in hand, Wei Ruojin muttered: "Oh, I forgot to ask that internal official just now, how is the internal official Cai?"

"You...the four princes are gone, so even if Cai Neiguan is alive now, I'm afraid he won't be able to dance."

On the way to the capital, the inner officer looked impatient behind his back. When he saw Lin Heng and his wife, they only dared to smile and accompany them. They brought three hundred elites, all wearing rattan armor and equipped with elite soldiers. .

This rattan armored soldier has also fought against it at present. The guards from Kyoto looked at the clothes of the 300 people, and their eyes were a little red. Especially when they were resting, those soldiers could still take out all kinds of delicious food from their bodies. Take a soak in hot water, there are vegetables, meat, and soup, which is very fragrant.

Look at what they eat, dry food that is harder than stones, and they scratch their throats.After all, they are the guards at the feet of the emperor, and their life is not as good as that of the soldiers in the northwest frontier!

When approaching the capital, the internal officer stopped thirty miles outside the city, Wei Ruojin lifted the curtain of the carriage and asked, "Why did you stop?"

The inner officer walked to the side of the carriage, without saluting this time, and said coldly: "My lord, my concubine, this is the capital city, your soldiers can't go inside anymore."

Lin Heng said in a deep voice: "A prince with a fief can accompany with five hundred troops, but this king only has three hundred, but there is no violation of the rules. The internal officials still think about it."

"Bold..."

A knife lay across the neck of the eunuch, with a cold light, the eunuch trembled in fright, tremblingly said: "The king of Northwest wants to rebel?!"

"Killing someone who offends the prince is called rebellion? Officer, you don't seem very courageous, but you are quite ambitious!" Wei Ruojin sneered.

The inner officer was startled and angry and did not dare to move, let alone speak. As soon as the knife across his neck was withdrawn, the inner officer felt a heavy object hit the back of the head, and he rolled off the horse.

"Entering the city, this king is going to restore the emperor's order!"

As soon as the carriage entered the capital, the main road had already been cleared, and Lin Kang was standing there waiting, but now he couldn't bend down very much. "Third brother."

"Why are you still out in this hot weather, just let the servants come." Lin Heng opened the curtain and said.

Lin Kang lowered his eyes, "You are a prince with a fief, so you should be greeted. The palace should be tidied up by now, so please ask Third Brother and Brother Wei to go to the mansion to freshen up before entering the palace."

"Alright." Lin Heng replied, put down the curtain and left.

The smile on Lin Kang's face disappeared instantly, and he stared at the carriage with a frosty face.

"Don't worry, Your Highness, everything has been arranged, and the three hundred guards won't be able to make a difference."

Lin Kang listened to the words in his ear, and then snorted coldly, "Then let them never leave the capital again, have you already sent someone to take over the position of governor? Northwest is now richer than Jiangnan, so it must be under my control !"

"Don't worry, Your Highness, I have already sent someone there and will never lose the Northwest!"

When Lin Heng and Wei Ruojin got off the carriage, they found that the atmosphere here was extremely stagnant. There seemed to be no birds flying in the sky, and it was a bit too quiet.

The two looked at each other. I'm afraid they won't be able to enter this palace.
