Chapter 394： Chu Nanzhi's plan

Chapter 394 Chu Nanzhi's plan

Lin Jinxiao felt that he hadn't thought it through carefully, so he changed his mind and said, "Then stay with me and be a judge of Cao Cao, specializing in punishment and prison."

In the past, Wu Enrong of Pingning County just wanted to win her over to become the county's decision-maker.

Now letting her stay in the state capital to be her deputy, just caters to her preferences, so she will never refuse again.

Chu Nanzhi knew that he and the little treasures were worried that they would be overworked, but this was definitely not the time to sit back and relax.

She stared deeply at Lin Jinxiao, and said earnestly, "Lin Dalang, you are the governor of a party now, and you control several counties and hundreds of counties. It is really not difficult to reward me with an official position. Even I can feel at ease. Take care of your husband and children at home, but have you thought about more long-term things?"

"Longer term?"

Lin Jinxiao looked puzzled: "The imperial court appointed me as the governor of Pingning Prefecture and restored the prince. It is nothing more than hoping that I can control the forces in the east, resist the invasion of the Dongsang people in the east, and defend against the Baiyu people in the south. Even though you are my wife, Lin Jinxiao, if I promote you, it won't cause any criticism, after all, your ability is obvious to all."

"I don't care about that."

Chu Nanzhi hinted vaguely: "You have made plans for both the east and the south, have you never thought about going north?"

"North?"

Xiangbei is the capital, does my wife want to rebel by herself?

Lin Jinxiao fell into suspicion.

Chu Nanzhi pointed out more clearly: "If it's just to defend against the enemy, the imperial court can promote you to be a governor. This will not cause too much controversy, but why are your majesty and the empress dowager so hard this time?" What about restoring the title of King Pingning against all opinions?"

"Could it be?"

In front of the children, he did not express the suspicion in his heart.

The two nodded understandingly.

But Lin Jinxiao always felt that it was impossible.

At present, Jingling City’s party struggle is in full swing. If His Majesty is worried that something like a palace change will happen in the future, then entering Jingqin King should also be a privilege enjoyed by the Qinghe royal family. How could he consider an unpopular clan like Luyan Port.

"No matter what the future situation is, you have to make more preparations."

Chu Nanzhi said bluntly: "If the big position falls in the future, the Lin family in Luyangang may face another edict to cut down the vassal."

And she thinks the consequences could be more serious.

Lin Jinxiao has been framed several times, which shows that his identity has already been discovered, otherwise even Baiyu people would not have become interested in the matter of the former prince's posthumous son.

It's just that she didn't want to talk to Lin Jinxiao about this matter, so she had to say instead:

"Lin Dalang, you need to think more about the deep meaning of the Empress Dowager and her old man. Right now, Pingning Prefecture is actually a mess when you take over. There are internal and external troubles. If you want to accumulate strength, if you want to accumulate strength through excessive taxation, it will inevitably lead to complaints and instability of people's hearts. Now I All we can do is to earn more money, maybe it will come in handy in the future.”

Lin Jinxiao was enlightened after hearing this.

I heard Chang Lao and Princess Shu mentioned before that the Empress Dowager and His Majesty are not satisfied with the current Qinghe royal family, and most of the current Qinghe dignitaries are attached to the kings in Beijing. I'm afraid it's not on the side of His Majesty and the Empress Dowager.

Presumably this is the important reason why the Empress Dowager promoted the lineage of King Pingning in Luyan Port.

Recall that since the Dahe Empire started the uprising, it has made several eastward advances to serve as kings, and the royal family relied on Qinghe's wealthy nobles.

But I don't have any strength to rely on.

But he will never rely on marriage to strengthen himself.

Nowadays, relatives, dignitaries are in chaos, and party disputes are in full swing, all caused by the royal family's blind reliance on Qinghe dignitaries.

In the past, although he was worried about his family and country, he never dared to think about doing too much, but now that Chu Nanzhi mentioned this, he suddenly had some new insights.

Only by making yourself strong enough can you better protect this family.

Looking at Chu Nanzhi with a smile, Lin Jinxiao couldn't help but sighed deeply: "It's a lady who is far-sighted."

"I can also give you advice."

Speaking of this, Chu Nanzhi suddenly felt a little lonely.

Lin Jinxiao promised not to take concubines, which undoubtedly touched her very much.

Just thinking about what he might face in the future, he couldn't help feeling a little ashamed.

After all, the Liu and Chu families are from the village. If he can't marry a concubine for him like the Qinghe royal family, so as to get the support of the rich and powerful, then he will be weak after all.

When it is really a last resort, it is really a worrying thing to have contacts but no connections, money and food but no money and food.

Gradually, the long-burned dream of being the richest man in her heart was rekindled.

If you don’t have a family background, then create a prominent family background yourself.

…

In the carriage at the end, Tang Yuanxi always looked sullen.

Tang Ru saw the strange look on her face, and simply followed Lin Jinxiao's example and abandoned the horse and got into his sister's carriage.

Looking at the two princesses who were unhappy, Tang Ru asked pointedly: "Why, could it be that the two princesses were bullied in Haining County?"

"Brother Tang was joking."

Ji Wanying said indifferently: "Who dares to bully Sister Yuanxi."

"That's true."

Tang Ru smiled slowly.

She has always been the only one who bullies others.

"Brother, I was just being bullied, you have to make decisions for my sister."

Tang Yuanxi flung herself into Tang Ru's arms tenderly, and began to complain coquettishly.

Ji Wanying and Tang Ru both looked bitter.

Although Tang Ru and Tang Yuanxi are brothers and sisters, their status in the family is far inferior to hers.

She was born of a deceased mother, and Tang Yuanxi was the only daughter of her stepmother and father, and even the Queen Mother doted on her very much, so how dare she be wronged, so she hurriedly asked, "Yuanxi, tell brother who bullied you, I'm going to tear him apart."

Ji Wanying broke out in a cold sweat when she heard this, and said coldly, "It's not someone else, but the new owner of Pingning Prefecture that the brother of the Tang family just bowed down to."

"King Pingning?"

Tang Ru was taken aback for a moment, and smiled stiffly: "Impossible, how could His Highness bully Yuan Xi, isn't Princess Wanying joking with me?"

Even if Lin Jinxiao is appreciated by the Empress Dowager and His Majesty, he is an unpopular clan after all, a prince of a foreign vassal, so he is not so unscrupulous that he dares to disrespect even the jewel in the palm of the General Huguo.

Not to mention that there is still the queen doting on her younger sister.

Ji Wanying smiled sadly: "That depends on how Tang's elder brother understands the word bullying?"

Tang Ru blinked deeply, and after careful speculation in his heart, he suddenly came to his senses, and was quite shocked: "Sister, don't you like Your Highness?"

Being exposed, Tang Yuanxi thumped his knee fiercely: "I don't care, since my brother knows, you have to help me fulfill this wish. I will not marry unless I am His Highness in this life."

"what?"

Tang Ru felt astonished when he heard this, and said with embarrassment: "Isn't it possible, little sister, you and His Highness have only met a few times, and the love is so deep? There are so many princes in Beijing, you can choose one at random. He has power.

Besides, you have also seen that His Highness has a princess and so many children, and I see that His Highness has a deep affection for the princess. Aren't you making fun of yourself like this? "

"Hmph, I don't care, I don't care, if I can't marry into Prince Pingning's mansion in this life, I will die in peace."

Tang Yuanxi cried loudly in anxiety.

The alarmist and intimidating words made the two people next to them look bitter.

Tang Ru looked at Ji Wanying with a calm face, and smiled embarrassingly: "Don't cry, if you really want to, brother will find a way for you."

"real?"

Tang Yuanxi immediately raised her head when she heard the sound, staring at him with tears in her eyes.

Tang Ru pursed his lips and nodded heavily: "But you have to tell brother how firm your determination is."

After all, his father, stepmother, and even the queen mother would never allow his little sister to have such thoughts. Lin Jinxiao is a member of the empress dowager and His Majesty, and that is the deadly enemy of the Tang family.

Unless the younger sister's belief is so strong that they have to compromise.

Tang Yuanxi blinked with determination: "So firm that I can give up everything for him, even myself."

Ji Wanying heard the chills in her heart.

Tang Ru couldn't help showing a sly smile: "Okay, brother will help you achieve your wish."

If she can be stuffed into Prince Pingning's mansion, then he will be able to know Lin Jinxiao's every move in the future.
