Daughter Shenghua

Chapter 138 Decentralization
In the Shunfeng Building, Jingbianhou and Lin Chong were sitting in a private room upstairs.

As soon as Lin Chong sat down, he couldn't wait to say: "Master Hou, is there any hidden secret in this matter today?"

Jing Bianhou sighed, "It's not a secret, I just hope that fewer people will die. I can't go, I don't feel relieved to go to Marquis Wu, then only you can go."

Lin Chong wondered, "What's the meaning of this?"

"Hey! Brother Lin, don't be nervous. It's really my fault to push you out without saying hello in advance, and there's nothing I can do about it. I really can't bear to have more people displaced."

At this moment, Lin Chong was even more puzzled.

"Brother Lin please carefully supervise the silver taels for disaster relief. It is best to bring two strict censors. Otherwise, I'm afraid the silver taels will not reach the hands of the common people!"

Lin Chong immediately understood, "Master Hou, you mean that someone wants to get relief money?"

Jing Bianhou nodded, "Brother Lin has not thought about why the disaster has been so severe that no one can be selected for a long time. The emperor and the left minister are fighting so fiercely in the court hall. What is the reason? It's not about money. "

Lin Chong is not a fool either, he almost understood it when he heard this, and he was still nodding from time to time when Jing Bianhou said it.

"Speaking of which, I'm still a little ashamed of Brother Lin, I was the one who pushed you into this muddy water." Jingbianhou said again.

"I understand what Hou Ye means, and I can't blame you. I have been paid by the court for so many years, and I always have to do something for the people. With me in this disaster relief, no one can steal a tael of silver!" Lin Chong was suddenly full of pride. said loudly.

"Brother Lin, although you are also among the people in charge of disaster relief, this time the second prince is the main one. You must remember to beware of him. According to my investigation, our second prince is not easy!"

"Second prince?" Lin Chong was a little puzzled.The presence of these princes in the court is very weak, and they don't have any real power. The power in the court is firmly in the hands of the emperor, the left minister and the queen mother.What power can a little second prince have.

"Brother Lin, don't forget Duke Protector!" Jingbianhou said lightly.

Lin Chong really didn't think of Lord Protector. If it wasn't for the reminder from Marquis Jingbian, he would have almost forgotten this once glorious figure.

The Yun family, as the descendants of the royal family of the previous dynasty, was able to obtain the title of Duke of the Protectorate in the new dynasty, which was not just for nothing.It is said that he played a big role in the collapse of the former dynasty, although he began to hide his strength and bide his time during the new dynasty, and did not participate in anything, and the old protector had passed away long ago.

But Marquis Jingbian and Lin Chong didn't believe that the Yun family had really sunk down like this.If they really had such a heart, he would not have betrayed the entire Yun family in the previous court.

It is impossible for them to pay such a high price just to be a protector without real power.If so, why should they rebel?What's more, the Yun family sent a daughter into the palace and gave birth to a prince.

What the Yun family really wanted to do, the second prince was definitely their biggest bargaining chip.

"What's your opinion, Master Hou?"

Jing Bianhou thought for a while and said: "Brother Lin, just take care of Yinliang and protect your own safety. The rest is just watching the show. If I have a villainous heart, then that's the best. If we guess right, then the two Someone from the prince will take action. Brother Lin just picks himself clean."

Lin Chong nodded and agreed.He didn't want to participate in these things originally, but who can really stay out of it in this situation?

"I will write a letter to the emperor, requesting someone to supervise the disaster relief. Those who are interested will come on their own initiative, and the rest is out of my control." Lin Chong thought for a while and said.

This is the best result. Lin Chong only needs to divide up the power in his hand. Naturally, someone will watch him, so he doesn't want to meddle in these nosy matters anymore.

After Lin Chong left, Hou Jingbian looked at the sky and sighed.The next thing is to deal with Marquis Wu, that guy is not as talkative as Lin Chong!He couldn't help rubbing the center of his brows, the errand assigned by Xi'er couldn't be messed up.

As soon as Marquis Wu over there persuaded Xiao Muling, he hurried out to look for Marquis Jingbian.He had already sent people to follow behind Jingbianhou, and when he learned that Lin Chong had left and Jingbianhou had never come out, he rushed over in a hurry.

Marquis Jingbian was already full with wine and food, he was not in the mood to sit here and eat with Marquis Wu, he took all his food away after eating.Thinking about coming to Wuhou, he was not in the mood to eat.With Xiao Muling's temperament, I'm afraid he will have to spend a lot of effort to persuade him.

Fortunately, Yunxi arrived soon, and the father and daughter set up the chessboard to play chess, and I didn't feel bored when you came and I went back and forth.

When Marquis Wu arrived, he saw Marquis Jingbian sweating profusely looking at the chessboard, while Yun Xi was sitting on the side drinking tea with a light smile, which made him feel a little strange.

"Excuse me!" Marquis Wu interrupted Jing Bianhou's meditation.

Seeing Marquis Wu arrived, Marquis Jingbian seemed to heave a sigh of relief, quickly put down the chess pieces in his hand, and pushed the chessboard aside.Seeing this, Yunxi covered her mouth and smiled.

"Marquis Wu, please sit down!" Yun Xi spoke first, poured a cup of tea gracefully and pushed it in front of Marquis Wu.

It was a square table, Jing Bianhou sat in the front center, Wuhou and Yunxi sat face to face on both sides.

As soon as Yunxi finished speaking, Marquis Wu couldn't wait to say: "Master Hou, don't you think you should give me an explanation? We agreed when we were in Yuezhou, so you forgot, right?"

Yun Xi smiled lightly, it seemed that Marquis Wu had been forced into a mess by Xiao Muling.

Jing Bianhou said: "Of course I remember, otherwise I wouldn't have reminded you today."

"What's the meaning of this, Lord Hou?"

Yun Xi said at this time: "Don't worry, Marquis Wu, drink some tea and calm down first. Your mind is disturbed!"

Marquis Wu also knew that he was a little anxious today, so he took a deep breath, drank the tea in the cup in one gulp, and then said, "Master Hou, why did you ask us not to fight for the disaster relief job?"

Jingbianhou smiled, "Didn't Marquis Wu do what he meant before?"

Marquis Wu slowed down and said nothing.

"Does Marquis Wu still think it's a sweet pastry?"

Marquis Wu was stunned for a moment, and soon understood what he meant. "Of course I know the disadvantages, but it would be a pity to just give up like this."

"Marquis Wu is short of money?" It was Yun Xi who spoke this time.

Marquis Wu frowned and said, "I understand what the princess means. It's just..."

"Hehe, Marquis Wu has been in power for so many years, can't you see through it? If this job is in the hands of the third prince, how much benefit do you think you will have? Do you think Zuo Quang really let go like this?"

After Yunxi finished speaking, Marquis Wu was silent, and then she said: "It's not that Yunxi underestimated the third prince, how many rounds do you think the third prince's temperament can take in the left hand?"

When it comes to the third prince, Marquis Wu sighed, others don't know, but he knows best.His temperament is actually not suitable for sitting in that position.He was too impatient to hold his breath.If he hadn't been by his side all these years, he wouldn't have known what he would have become.

"Why let the second prince go again? If he came back from his errands, wouldn't his arrogance be even stronger, wouldn't the third prince be his opponent at Jieshi?" Marquis Wu said unwillingly.

"At this time, it is more beneficial for the third prince to go than not to go." Jingbianhou said lightly.

"I also ask Lord Hou to give me advice!"

"Haha, I can't talk about advice. It's just knowing something."

Marquis Wu looked at Marquis Jingbian suspiciously.

Jingbianhou then said: "Who do you think this country will be in the future?"
