The merman brother bit me again

Chapter 214 I can't get used to it.

On the way back to Beijing, news of the emperor's serious illness spread like wildfire, and the civil and military circles of the Manchu Dynasty were in a state of panic.

At this time, the end of autumn was approaching, and it was the time when the northern and southern borders were in turmoil. Several incidents interspersed together, which naturally put Daqin in a difficult situation for a while.

Because of this, after returning to Beijing, Lin Weixu didn't even have time to take care of other things, so he entered the palace with Chi Yinghan.

Due to the emperor's serious illness, the national teacher has not yet returned to the capital, so these days, the government has been temporarily managed by the new crown prince Wen Cheng.When Lin Weixu entered the palace, it happened that Wen Cheng had just come out of the Hall of Mental Cultivation, and when he saw Lin Weixu, he didn't put on the posture of a crown prince, but just bowed his head slightly to her as before and saluted her, "Master Guoshi is back. "

Lin Weixu put on a veiled hat, nodded lightly and called him, and said, "Hearing that His Majesty is ill, Young Master Chi and I came here to take a look."

Mentioning this, Wen Chengpo looked a little dignified, but he still nodded and led them into the Hall of Mental Cultivation.

Chi Yinghan held Lin Weixu's hand halfway, and looked at the people on the dragon couch. It was indeed as the rumors said, the emperor was lying unconscious on the dragon couch, his face pale, as if he was terminally ill.

And Lin Weixu stood quietly looking down for a while, and asked, "What did the imperial doctor say?"

"The imperial doctor said... let Bengong prepare mentally."

Lin Weixu was silent for a while, but did not comfort Wen Cheng, turned around and left.

Chi Yinghan grabbed her hand in time and led her out of the hall.

Wen Cheng followed behind, looking at the two who suddenly became close, feeling a little weird.

After leaving the Hall of Mental Cultivation, Lin Weixu thought for a while, then turned back and asked Wen Cheng, "His Royal Highness, has Your Majesty woke up during this time?"

Wen Cheng looked at Lin Weixu who was separated by a layer of white veil, and replied after a moment of hesitation: "Father woke up for a while two days ago, but he didn't explain anything."

Lin Weixu nodded, but didn't say anything.

After leaving the palace, on the way back to the mansion, Lin Weixu sat in the carriage and pondered for a long time, then suddenly turned his head and said to Chi Yinghan: "Yinghan, you have to go back to the south, guard the south, and leave the court affairs to me."

How could Chi Yinghan not understand Lin Weixu's thoughts, he immediately spoke harshly, "Do you know how many people in the court want to swallow your position as the national teacher? Wen Qian was sent to the north again at this time, you Now you still want to send me away, how can you let me rest assured that you face those people alone?"

Lin Weixu said without thinking, "I'm used to it."

Chi Yinghan also had a tough attitude: "I can't get used to it."

Lin Weixu blinked calmly, thought for a while and said, "Don't think of me too weakly, the position of national teacher was won by myself, it wasn't that they wanted to get me out of this position." Come down, you can get it down."

"Also, I don't want to dismiss you. I can't just focus on the disputes between the court and the central government. The north and the south are in turmoil. Daqin needs you to go back and take charge of the south. Only you and Wen Qian can guard the territory of Daqin, so I can feel at ease in the middle of Beijing." Fight against those forces, otherwise, once internal and external troubles occur, it will only be innocent people who will suffer."

Chi Yinghan stared at her for a moment, "You have said so much, have you ever thought about how the crown prince will deal with you once I return to the south? The crown prince is about to take power, and you are his biggest obstacle at this time. Wen Qian has left Beijing, there is no guarantee that he will still respect you as much as he does now!"

"No, Yinghan, you're wrong." Lin Weixu was calmer than ever, "Wen Cheng wanted to gain power, but he couldn't touch me. The emperor is seriously ill right now. The real power is not his crown prince. It's me, the Great Qin State Teacher."

And what she has to do now is not to let her power be disintegrated.

"Lin Weixu, do you really or falsely don't understand? I don't want me to be absent every time you need company the most. In the past, I was incapable. Now I can protect you. Do you understand?"

Lin Weixu's eyelashes fluttered slightly, and his eyes stared blankly ahead. After a while, he suddenly turned his head and said calmly, "I don't need your protection, and I don't need anyone's protection. I can It’s okay to come here alone.”

"Yinghan, you and I are smart people, you should understand what I mean when I tell you this."

Chi Yinghan looked at her for a long time, and finally said: "I was not calm enough just now, I know you don't want to talk about this now, and I won't force you to make a choice. I promise you to guard the south, and I promise you too, I will definitely be back within half a month."

Lin Weixu nodded, and before she had time to say anything, Chi Yinghan hugged her gently, "Please also promise me Weiwei, you will be well within half a month."

Lin Weixu said, "I'll be fine."

And a few days after Chi Yinghan led his troops to the south, Lin Weixu used some means to hold some of the courtiers' deadly grounds, forcing them to obey her orders.

It was precisely because of this that at the court meeting two days later, Lin Weixu proposed to come to the regent to assist the prince in person, which caused an uproar in the court.

The courtiers on the side of the princelings naturally disagreed with this——

"Absurd. Although Your Majesty is seriously ill, the crown prince is still the heir apparent. The crown prince supervises the country, which is justified! How can the master of the state interfere with the power of supervising the country?"

"Could it be that Master Guoshi wants to seize power arbitrarily while His Majesty is seriously ill?"

But not all the princelings were in the court, except for the courtiers who were originally on the side of the national division, there were also a few ministers who were secretly coerced by Lin Weixu and turned against the national division temporarily.

In this way, the DPRK and China will naturally form a confrontation.

And the princelings are not yet full-fledged, so it is naturally impossible for them to be the opponent of the National Teacher.

In the end, Wen Cheng saw the situation clearly, followed Fusu's previous explanation, stood up and said, "Please don't forget, this time, if the Master of the State Teacher hadn't ordered Chi Xiaohou to go to the south to guard in time, why would he be at this time?" Come to An Ning to argue about this? Although I am the crown prince, I have never been entrusted with such a big task by my father before. Right now, my father is seriously ill, and the north and south are in turmoil. The Master of the State Teacher has more experience in governance than this palace. Master Shi acts as an assistant to Ben Gong to supervise the country, and Ben Gong is more at ease than anyone else."

As soon as Wen Cheng said this, everyone in the court knew that the new crown prince had compromised with the power of the national teacher.

After all, it sounds nice to assist the crown prince in overseeing the country, but the real power rests with the master of the country, isn't it the master of the country who has the final say?

The emperor was seriously ill, and now even the only crown prince who could compete with the master of the state had compromised, and the rest of the courtiers could only stomp their feet in anger.

A court meeting started early in the morning and ended after noon.

After the court meeting ended, the officials left the government hall one after another, and Wen Cheng walked last, calling Lin Weixu.

"My lord, can you take the time to walk around the Royal Garden with me?" Wen Cheng looked at Lin Weixu and said with a smile.
