Emperor Jin

Chapter 96
"My lord, stay here first. After the emperor's anger passed, he wrote a secret decree in his own hand and ordered me to submit it."

The court lady spoke softly, her eyes fluttered, she was gentle and gentle, making one feel like a spring breeze.

Li Ying put the small box in his sleeve, and he didn't rush to open it to read it, but he took a deep look at the girl in brocade clothes, smiled and bowed, "It's really Meng Lang just now, but I thank you, Lan Xinhui, for your kindness. Secretly rescued me!"

"Where did the adults say that?"

Baojin smiled slightly, as if he was very surprised, "I was careless and knocked over the teacup. Fortunately, Long Live was kind, so I was not punished. At that time, I panicked. I can't remember what the adults said. !"

She covered her sleeves and smiled lowly, like a lotus flower shy, "However, my lord's outspoken words today made Wansui fly into a rage, and everyone was scared out of their wits, and there were even some talkative ones. I don't know how to talk about it in the harem." !"

She added more meaning to the word harem, and Li Ying immediately understood it. After being excited, he remembered that the queen had many eyes and ears in the palace, and he couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart.

"Your Excellency is now considered a pure minister who is bitter and admonishing. If there is something wrong, no one will be able to explain it... So, you can rest easy now."

Bao Jin laughed softly, and before Li Ying could say anything else, he bowed and bowed, and flew away like a white butterfly.

****
On the day when the army set off, the weather was extremely gloomy, the wind was howling, the leaden clouds were hanging low, and the darkness was heavy in the air, like thousands of horses passing by in snow. *
Countless boats of various sizes set out from the mouth of Jin, and the heavy iron chains brought up countless waves. After the gates were opened, thousands of sails were fully launched, and the river and sea were almost cut off for a while.

Standing behind the emperor, Bao Jin waited quietly watching the vast waves of the water, with a slight blush under her eyes. She thought of the secret meeting last night, and couldn't help but fell into deep thought——

……

"The false emperor sent troops outrageously. If he doesn't wipe out our Southern Tang Dynasty, he will not be able to get what he wants. We have nothing to say. We just want to be loyal to the country and die."

The one who was so impassioned was the last time I saw that the most famous minister in white in the Southern Tang Dynasty, including the assassin of the poisonous family, all of them looked solemn and sad, and the anger in their eyes became colder.

After he finished speaking coldly, he asked Bao Jin very impolitely: "Your Highness has a lot of people in Beijing, can't you help me a little bit?"

"If I hadn't personally acted, I'm afraid there would be more powerful generals in today's army."

Sitting at the table, Bao Jinduan answered calmly.

She glanced at the anxious people around, a faint light flashed in her eyes, and she said slowly: "Your patriarch is indulged in peace and happiness, but he doesn't know how to restrain himself. Your assassination at the palace banquet made the emperor even more determined to go south. —In the final analysis, there will be such a day sooner or later.”

"But that is our hometown, our Jinling!"

The woman who assassinated last time couldn't help but yelled in a low voice, her slender hands were clenched tightly, almost bleeding from pinching——

"You are not from the south of the Yangtze River, so how can you feel the torment we are waiting for? If the country is destroyed and the family is destroyed, what face do we have to meet our relatives underground!"

"I can't understand?!"

Baojin sneered gloomily, her smile was like the moonlight in the dark night, cold but indifferent, her eyes were burning with sharp flames, clustered with two points, shining brightly in the dark——

"Since the country was ruined and my family was destroyed, I have tasted the warmth and coldness of the world, endured ridicule and ridicule, was displaced, and even became a slave...I can't understand the feeling of this very well!"

She raised her eyes, and everyone felt that there was a faint sense of majesty, "After all, the capital is under the feet of the emperor, and weakening the imperial court's wings is the only thing we can do. If you have any better ideas, I am willing to listen!"

Although she said this politely, there was sharpness in it. After hearing this, the man had nothing to say, but stood up solemnly and said: "When the army arrives in the south of the Yangtze River, it will be a catastrophe. , Your Highness will not be helpless!"

"Is there a way... I can't say there is no way."

A mysterious and deep smile appeared on Baojin's lips, and in the winter night, there was an awe-inspiring feeling.

……

"Many people are a little seasick, but you are fine."

The emperor's voice interrupted her memory, and he smiled in surprise: "You have lived in northern Xinjiang for a long time, and you have probably never seen rivers and seas, right?"

"We have a big salt lake, you can't see the sky at a glance, and everyone calls them Haizi... I secretly played with the maid..."

According to the records in the classics, Baojin carefully fabricated the experience that was not real, looked at the endless waves, and listened to the monotonous and loud sound of water between the sky and the earth, and felt familiar yet strange.

Many years ago, she also used to dress up and dress up, and with the banner that covered the sun, she sailed on a huge ship to the foreign country called the hermit country, Goryeo, and married with full of longing.

At that time, Haibo was just like today, gone forever, and the world of mortals is thousands of miles away.

She suddenly felt in a trance, and the pain that had already scabbed in her heart began to rise again—the person who was supposed to never leave her forever turned her back on her. Leave endless irony.

She didn't want to think about it anymore, she got up to help the emperor sort out the memorial, but saw that he was preoccupied, and his complexion was even worse in the turbulence.

"Is the emperor feeling unwell too?"

"I'm in a trance, but I can't be so weak..."

The emperor irritably pushed away the case report, as if he couldn't bear the bitterness and said: "I had another argument with Zi Tong last night. She was very upset, but I couldn't think about it."
