Crossing the Swordsman: Lin Pingzhi, the Swordsman of Evil

Hearing Concubine Zheng's words, Emperor Wanli thought for a moment and said, "Well, if that's the case, let's put it aside for now. If Lin Aiqing has any needs in the future, you can tell me clearly. As long as it is something within my power, then Of course I won't regret it."

Seeing Wanli so happy, Lin Pingzhi also wanted to see if Wanli would let him go.

Although he is in the capital, he knows everything about the world.

He came to the capital to be an official for nothing more than to save the people of the world from being poisoned by hunger and war.

Now that the problem of cronies has been eliminated, although his previous suggestions have not been fully adopted, the policy of promoting emergency food such as sweet potatoes and corn has been implemented.

And the emperor also returned the fire consumption to the public, at least to a certain extent, so that those officials who exploited each other can restrain themselves.

The fire consumption has been returned to the public, so there is no need to levy additional fire consumption silver from the people.To a certain extent, this also lightens the burden on the common people of the world.

However, due to the inspection of the eight major Shanxi merchants, Nurhachi's plan was exposed, causing Nurhachi to rebel in advance before his fledgling.

Although the two sides are now in a stalemate, but without the constraints of cronies, and the treasury is full again, it is only a matter of time before Li Rusong pacifies Liaodong.

After all, if you play ten mines with one mine, as long as you don't micromanage, you can win with your eyes closed.

And Nurhachi does not have all kinds of resources provided by the mainland, and he is now at the end of his battle.

Although not perfect, Lin Pingzhi is content.

After all, he is a person and not a god, so he can only do his best to make this world less miserable.

At present, the matters inside and outside the court have been resolved, and it is time for him to retire.

Lin Pingzhi said to Emperor Wanli at this time: "If there is anything wrong with this minister, it is the matter of the assassin who assassinated last time. This assassin's martial arts skills are extremely high, and I am afraid that he is not inferior to this minister. Only relying on the eyes and ears of the court, I'm afraid I won't be able to find it as soon as possible. I want to resign from the emperor, please allow me to return to the rivers and lakes. I have a good reputation in the rivers and lakes, but I can use the power of the martial arts to find this person."

When Emperor Wanli heard that Lin Pingzhi wanted to resign, he deliberately asked, "Why does Lin Aiqing care so much about an assassin?"

Lin Pingzhi heard the unkindness in his words, so he said with a smile: "I dare not lie to the emperor, my humble minister comes from the Jianghu, and he was defeated by all the martial arts masters in the world so quickly in his life. One's false name. Wei Chen secretly followed Ren Woxing to Heimuya to challenge Dongfang Bubai, and then defeated Ren Woxing at the foot of Mount Heng."

"Both of them are the top masters in the world. But after defeating them, although Wei Chen felt the joy of victory, he also felt a little empty. After defeating them, he would have no other opponents to compete with Wei Chen again. Therefore, I feel tired of Jianghu affairs, so I want to live on the island and be an idler."

"But I didn't expect that Canglang Island was patronized by the Dutch and the Spaniards in turn. Only then did I start to understand the state affairs. After learning about the disasters of the Jurchen outside the customs and the harm of the cronies inside, I wanted to help the king and help the country, so I responded to the emperor's call , to serve in the capital."

"I thought that there was no rival in this world, so I wanted to do my best by the emperor's side, and then be shaded by the emperor, enjoy the wealth and honor for the rest of my life safely, and get some rewards to shade my descendants. But I didn't expect that there are such people in this world." Master, how can I miss the opportunity to fight against such a master again?"

After hearing Lin Pingzhi's words, Emperor Wanli smiled and said: "Hey! Why should Aiqing care about such a false name? If Aiqing likes it, I will give you the title of number one in the world. As for the matter of capturing the assassin, I have my own ideas." Factory, Jinyiwei, Six Doors and other assistant managers, don't need to worry about Aiqing."

"Aiqing rescued her several times, and she has worked hard. Aiqing should stay by my side wholeheartedly and share the glory with me."

Hearing the emperor's words, Lin Pingzhi picked up his wine glass wisely and said, "Then I would like to thank the emperor for his respect."

Then the two of them had another tedious exchange of cups and cups.

Although Emperor Wanli was a fine individual, he was not as good as Concubine Zheng beside him when it came to observing words and demeanor.

Concubine Zheng saw the intention in Lin Pingzhi's eyes, and she smiled slightly.

But at this banquet, Concubine Zheng did not speak.After all, no one in this world understands Emperor Wanli's temper better than her.

What you say now will only backfire.

She has seen Lin Pingzhi's ability. If this kind of talent is not recovered, it will be the biggest loss.

After all, Emperor Wanli was a man, and he was a man with an imperial mind, and the most inevitable thing about an emperor's mind was suspicion of his subordinates.It is inevitable to be fascinated by the emperor's authority, not as clear as a bystander like Concubine Zheng.

The difference between women and men is that one is more emotional and the other is more rational.

What's more, Concubine Zheng is a woman who understands men's thoughts best.She knows how to deal with men better.

Concubine Zheng wanted to take Lin Pingzhi under her command so that she could assist her son in the future.

After all, the empress king and the old empress dowager in the Palace of Compassion and Peace both regard Concubine Zheng and her daughter as thorns in their eyes.

Although the cronies they guarded in the court have collapsed, although the queen is not considered a virtuous person, Concubine Zheng Guifei has not been able to catch her for so many years. She has the old queen mother as her backer, and Emperor Wanli is also a filial person. It is difficult for Concubine Zheng Gui to overthrow this empress who is the mother of the world.

Although Lin Pingzhi had revealed to her before, Queen Wang wanted Lin Pingzhi to stop and not save the emperor and the prince.But Concubine Zheng pretended that this had never happened.

After all, this kind of matter is of great importance. If she tells the emperor, it will only backfire and make the emperor feel that she is telling stories.On the contrary, it will cause the emperor's distrust of her.

This matter cannot be exposed, it can only be regarded as Lin Pingzhi reminded her to continue to strictly prevent the queen from harming the prince and emperor in the future.

Concubine Zheng looked at Lin Pingzhi's eyes and made up her mind to find a way to sell him.

At this time, a charming voice came: "Father! Mother! Brother! You are holding a banquet here, and you are not called Erchen! Erchen will ignore you from now on! Hmph!"

Hearing this voice, everyone raised their eyes and saw that it was Princess Lingyun Zhu Xuanyuan who came.

Emperor Wanli said at this time: "Lingyun! How can you, a woman who has not yet left the court, show her face at will? You don't understand any rules? Go back to the palace quickly!"

Zhu Xuanyuan said: "I will not! Elder brother Lin also saved my life, and I should thank him today."

Seeing that the emperor did not speak, Concubine Zheng rescued the princess and said, "Haha, Your Majesty, our daughter is becoming more and more sensible now. She was very mischievous in the past, but today she thinks of it to thank her savior. Such filial piety, see Come on, the nuns have taught her well during this time."

Although Zhu Xuanyuan was very favored by his father, Zhu Xuanyuan refuted Emperor Wanli's face in public. He originally wanted to punish Zhu Xuanyuan to close the small black house.

But after hearing Zheng Guifei's words, it made sense to think about it, so he turned his anger into joy.

Emperor Wanli smiled and said, "Okay! Lin Aiqing saved my son's life. My son should personally pour a glass of wine for Lin Aiqing as thanks."
