Damn it, I'm in the garbage book I wrote

Chapter 565: You can stop after you finish this job

Pushing the door open, there was a copper soup pot in the middle of the room with meat stewing inside. Emperor Jingtai was sitting at his desk, reviewing memorials.

After hearing the noise, he pointed at the pot with his pen and said, "It will take a while longer to cook before you can eat it. Please wait for me for a moment."

"No, you stewed the queen?"

"Are you sick?" Emperor Jingtai looked up at Xia Lin with a look of astonishment: "If that unlucky thing is really stewed, what's the difference between that and cooking porridge with urine soup? It smells fishy."

Xia Lin sat beside him and picked at the meat in the pot: "Wow, it's veal. Hey! I just said a few days ago that you can't slaughter oxen privately, you idiot!"

"Oh, she died of dystocia." Emperor Jingtai explained impatiently, "You are such a pushover. You secretly ate less cattle? Do you think I don't know?"

"BYD Zhang Zhongchun told you, right? I knew that grandson would lose control of his mouth when he drank."

Emperor Jingtai sighed, put down his pen, walked to Xia Daosheng, took two crutches and knelt there with him, staring at the meat boiling in the pot.

"I know you will leave soon."

"Yes." Xia Lin nodded. "You definitely can't stay in Jinling. My achievements are so great that they threaten the ruler. If you stay here, you will be overwhelmed by me in two months. What will you do then? Either kill me or abdicate."

"This is a serious concern." Emperor Jingtai glared at Xia Lin and said, "You just love to be in the spotlight. Can you be less in the spotlight?"

"Is that my business? Even if I don't stand out, there will be people who will push you and me to death. You don't know what kind of people these people are. Besides, you are narrow-minded. What if I did something wrong and you hold a grudge against me but don't tell me? What do you think I want?"

Xia Lin's words made Emperor Jingtai laugh: "I am really narrow-minded. It is not your turn to point fingers at me and scold me."

"That's because I'm still useful to you." Xia Lin sighed helplessly: "Okay, now that we've reached the emperor's level, let's not talk about feelings or not, we can only talk about business. Otherwise, why do you think the emperors in ancient times called themselves 'I'?"

Emperor Jingtai looked a little lonely at this moment. He stretched lazily and said, "I want to be a good emperor."

"Okay, of course. But the premise is that we can never be together. You be your good emperor and I be my local warlord. Otherwise, people's hearts will change. One day you will regard me as a thorn in your side and want to get rid of me as soon as possible." Xia Lin put his hands on his legs: "But you asked me to come over to eat beef stew in the middle of the night. You didn't just want to say this to me, right?"

"Ah."

Emperor Jingtai lowered his head and thought for a moment before speaking: "I allow you to leave Nanjing and return to Jiangnan, but the prerequisite is that you have to do one thing for me."

"explain."

"Get rid of the queen."

Xia Lin raised his head suddenly: "How...how do you divide it? Kill him directly or?"

"How the hell can you just kill me? You can kill me, but you still need to do it? I am where I am today thanks to the Queen's relatives. The grievances and right and wrongs among them cannot be explained in a few words. What they hold in their hands is enough to perish with me." Emperor Jingtai told Xia Lin all the complicated relationships here without hiding them: "So I want you to do this."

"What the hell..."

"Don't use vulgar language!"

Xia Lin was amused by this: "What can I do? Oh, you want the queen to die but you don't want her affairs to be made public. You can't have it both ways. This is too difficult."

"So this is for you to do it, right? You have a way after all."

Xia Lin was silent for a moment: "I'll ask DeepSeek later."

"what?"

"It's okay. I said I'd ask the Bodhisattva Avalokitesvara of the South China Sea. DeepSeek means the compassionate Avalokitesvara of the South China Sea in Turkic."

“But this doesn’t match the words.”

"That's what I mean... Oh, don't take it so seriously."

"Eat." Emperor Jingtai probably knew that his request was a bit too much, and finally he could only sigh helplessly.

The two of them ate beef, dipping it in the chive sauce they brought from the grassland, and sat like this until late at night.

"Hey, I have an idea." Xia Lin suddenly clapped his hands: "Listen to me."

"You said."

Xia Lin touched his chin and said, "This method may be a little dirty. Can you afford it?"

"Is there anyone dirtier than her? I don't even know if my son is mine!"

It can be seen that once this person begins to have doubts, the crime has already been established.

"The son is definitely yours. Look at his body. He looks just like you."

Emperor Jingtai thought this was true, but the more he listened to it, the more uncomfortable he felt. He sat there in deep thought for a long time, and finally decided to give it up.

Xia Lin sat there thinking for a long time, and suddenly turned to Emperor Jingtai and said, "Don't you think the queen looks a lot like Tanaka Yuko?"

"Who? A Japanese girl? Do you like her? You should have told me earlier. If you like her, I would have given her to you." "Thank you!" Xia Lin rolled his eyes.

"You are Welcome."

"Oh shit..." Xia Lin felt helpless, so he said, "Go inspect the camp in a few days."

"Another patrol? I just did it a few days ago. If you keep doing this, the Ministry of Revenue will be nagging again."

"Just patrol if I tell you to. Women of her age can't stand loneliness. If you leave, won't she have to go out to look for her secret brother? Then I'll find a way to tie her up."

"I've thought about this, but it won't work. It's not right for a queen to be kidnapped in Jinling City. And if they really did that, the whole palace would be washed in blood. You know, there are very few things an emperor can do as he pleases."

Xia Lin waved his hand: "Your biggest problem is that you don't know how to adapt. So should we tie him up?"

"Who will tie it then?"

"Well, listen to me."

Xia Lin began to tell Emperor Jingtai about his plans, which was actually using the simplest method to solve the most complicated problem.

If the queen wanted to have a private meeting, she certainly couldn't choose to go to the palace, that would be too dangerous. And since she was going to go out, she naturally had to make a plan. Usually when she went out for a private meeting, she would bring a few guards with her. These guards were her own people brought from her natal family.

What Emperor Jingtai had to do now was to go out and inspect the Jiangbei camp, and by inspecting the Jiangbei camp he would be able to withdraw the Queen's guards. As for how to withdraw them, that depended on Xia Daosheng. He could withdraw the guards around Emperor Jingtai in the name of guard assessment, and it "happened" that Emperor Jingtai had to inspect the camp at this moment, so he could only ask the Queen to borrow people.

At the same time, wasn't Li Mi the Grand Commander of Zhuozhou? Before leaving, Emperor Jingtai could issue an imperial edict to Li Mi, asking him to investigate the actions of the northern families in Zhuozhou and give him a result within 20 days.

In this case, Li Mi would have to leave the capital, and if Emperor Jingtai was not there at this time, they would definitely take this opportunity to have a good get-together.

At this moment, the only people the queen can bring with her are other guards. As long as these guards are not her family's assassins, they can design a scheme to trap local hooligans and find a way to kidnap the queen.

"But what if she has mobilized these assassins?" Emperor Jingtai asked unwillingly.

"Kill them." Xia Lin narrowed his eyes and said, "Can't I handle a few weak guards?"

Emperor Jingtai nodded and said, "That makes sense. If that's the case, why do you want to withdraw the original guards? Isn't that like taking off your pants to fart?"

After hearing what Emperor Jingtai said, Xia Lin knew that this guy's political wisdom was really poor.

"If you don't withdraw, how can you show that you trust the queen from the bottom of your heart? You went out to inspect the camp at this critical moment, and you also transferred Li Mi away. What if she gets suspicious? Does it mean that you have no doubts about her just because you asked her to borrow her personal guard?"

"That's the truth, then why should I patrol the camp?"

"Xia Daosheng's achievements are greater than his master's." Xia Lin shook his head helplessly and said, "Isn't this reason enough? Anyway, as long as you do what you should do, don't worry about the rest. I promise to solve it for you."

"That would be best, of course. But she's actually pretty. If you think she's okay before you deal with her, just play with her for a few days before killing her. Don't waste it."

"Hey!" Xia Lin really didn't know whether to laugh or cry at this moment: "What kind of crappy fetish do you have? No, no, I don't want it."

"Okay, I just think you haven't played the queen yet, so I'll give you a chance."

"You've been really nice to me, thank you."

"You don't have to be polite. As long as you don't play tricks on me, you can do whatever you want." Emperor Jingtai glanced at Xia Lin and said, "I heard that you made the head of the Dugu family scream."

"Who the hell farted again?"

"I don't know. Everyone is saying that when Patriarch Dugu was in Chang'an, he was hugging you and acting like a spoiled child."

Xia Lin was convinced. He had never thought that the burning of Shifang Tower would reach the ears of Emperor Jingtai...

"Okay, I won't waste my time talking to you. Just start making arrangements according to our plan, and I will definitely give you a satisfactory result."

"Daosheng, I still think you are a little restrained. There is really no need to be so restrained. A few days ago, the Japanese sent me a few beautiful girls, all of them are 13 or 14 years old and about to bloom. You can take them and play with them. Anyway, if the Japanese kill them, they will be killed. After they die, you can just find a place to bury them and be done with it."

Xia Lin stood up and said, "I'm going to go back to sleep first. If you want to play, just go ahead and play slowly."

"Then go back first. I'll find you tomorrow."

On the second day, everyone in Jinling was talking about the story of the young general Xia Lin. The last person who was as young, promising and brave as him was Champion Marquis Huo Qubing. At this moment, Xia Lin slept for a long time and did not get up until the afternoon.

These days he has been so exhausted that he is no longer human.

When he opened his eyes, he saw someone sleeping soundly on a recliner in his bedroom. Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be Zhang Zhongchun.

"Fuck, you scared me half of my life?"

Xia Lin stood up and called Lao Zhang. Zhang Zhongchun rubbed his eyes and yawned: "I came here to ask you to have lunch, but when I came in, I saw you were still sleeping, so I took a nap and waited for you to wake up. Come on, I'm hungry, let's go eat something together."
