Ji Lin, the governor of the capital, is the same generation as Ji Man, the son of Chengde, that is, the grandfather of the son of Yuan Zhao, but the blood is far apart, Ji Lin is very sensible, and he never talks about his seniority, but only recognizes himself as a courtier of the Great Jin.

Not long after he returned to the Dadu Governor's Mansion, he received a summons from the palace, and the Dadu Governor did not hesitate, after changing into court clothes, he rushed to the study of Weiyang Palace, and knelt respectfully in front of Yuan Zhao Tianzi.

It stands to reason that he is an auxiliary minister, an elder of the Son of Heaven, and the Metropolitan Governor of the Dadu Governor's Mansion, and his authority in the court can be said to be unsurpassed, and it should not be this posture, but because he is a clan, his attitude towards the little emperor is much more respectful than that of other ministers, because in front of him is not only the Son of Heaven of the Great Jin, but also the head of the Ji family.

As for the bloodline between the two people, it has been separated by four or five generations, and it has become much lighter.

"Minister, Jilin, knock to see Your Majesty."

Yuan Zhao Tianzi was originally sitting on the chair, but when he heard this, he got up and looked at Ji Lin, and sighed slightly: "The Metropolitan Governor gets up, the family, don't be so polite." ”

Ji Lin stood up, lowered his hand and said, "Your Majesty summoned the ministers into the palace, I don't know if it's ......"

The Son of Heaven slowly spoke: "Today, the Governor should know about the matter of Zuo Servant Shooting and Yan Sikong entering the palace together?" ”

"Back to Your Majesty, the minister knows."

Ji Lin bowed his head and said: "Shen Xiang still wants to take the minister into the palace to perform affairs, but the minister is in charge of the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion, and it is inconvenient to interfere in political affairs, so he did not get involved." ”

The young man frowned.

"Shen Xiang and Yan Sikong want to send troops to the southwest."

He looked at Ji Lin and said in a deep voice: "I don't agree with this matter, at least I can't be so impatient, and I will move troops to the southwest without a little preparation." ”

Ji Lin bowed his head respectfully: "Your Majesty Shengming." ”

"I'm useless."

The Son of Heaven said slowly: "Now that I am not in charge of the government, and the power of the government is not in my hands, if Shen Xiang and Yan Sikong insist on sending troops to the southwest, I am afraid I will not say much." ”

The Grand Governor glanced up at the Son of Heaven and said, "If Your Majesty doesn't agree, the other two auxiliary ministers will probably not insist on doing it, and you will save Your Majesty's face." ”

"Who knows if those big-headed scholars will be stubborn?"

The title of "big-headed scholar" was still learned by him from Li Xin's mouth, and the older he grew up, the more he felt that this word was appropriate.

Yuan Zhao Tianzi sneered: "Those scholars, they think that they have the talent to calm the world, they have always looked at people with their nostrils, and they regard themselves as high, and now the power is in their hands, and the more calm old ram in Shangshutai has also returned to his hometown, if he Shen Kuan commits a donkey, who can stop him?" ”

Ji Lin lowered his head and did not speak.

The Son of Heaven scolded the prime minister a few times, naturally there was no problem, but he, as a courtier, was not very convenient to scold.

Yuan Zhao Tianzi looked at Ji Lin, frowned, and said, "Governor Dadu, if the imperial court wants to conquer the west again, what do you think?" ”

The Metropolitan Governor is in charge of the power of the Great Jin to transfer troops, and the position of the Metropolitan Governor is known as the Great Sima, and he naturally has the most say in the war.

Ji Lin frowned and thought for a while, then said: "In terms of military strength, my Great Jin Imperial Court is naturally far superior to the southwest, back then, Marquis Li only took a right battalion of the forbidden army, and he could sweep away the hundreds of thousands of troops in the southwest, which shows the bravery of my Gyeonggi Forbidden Army, but today's southwest is not much easier to fight than the southwest ten years ago." ”

"The two battalions of forbidden troops near the capital can't do as much as they did ten years ago, and they have that mysterious thunder in the southwest, and the imperial court is still at a loss for it, all in all, the minister feels that the southwest is a difficult bone to gnaw."

"If you bite hard, I'm afraid the court will have to do its best."

The so-called do your best, that is, the Gyeonggi Forbidden Army did its best, leaving only two percent to defend the national capital, and the rest all went to the battlefield, when Emperor Wu ruled the world, the Gyeonggi Forbidden Army was almost all out, and under the leadership of Ye Sheng, it broke through the capital of the Northern Zhou Dynasty in one fell swoop.

But at the moment, the imperial court cannot and will not do so.

Although Yuan Zhao Tianzi is young, he has been the prince of the Great Jin Dynasty since he can remember, and the education he has received for more than ten years has also trained him as a future emperor, so he still sees the situation in the Great Jin Dynasty very clearly.

The little emperor glanced at Ji Lin and sighed slightly.

"I'm Dajin, and I don't have the kind of sword that Old Man Ye has."

"This matter can be light, slow, not serious, urgent."

The Son of Heaven sat back in his place and looked at Ji Lin.

"What does the Metropolitan mean?"

Ji Lin did not hesitate and fell to his knees.

"Minister, everything is under His Majesty's orders."

The Son of Heaven waved his hand.

"The Metropolitan Governor doesn't need to be like this, I summoned you to the palace to discuss things with you, not to see you kowtow."

As an auxiliary minister, Ji Lin originally didn't need to make such a low posture, but now it is the autumn of the first year of Yuan Zhao, and seeing that in more than a year, the Son of Heaven will be in power, so the position of this auxiliary minister will be more than a year at most.

Ji Lin sat in the position of the Metropolitan Governor, it has only been two or three years, he is loyal to the Son of Heaven at this time, thinking that after the Son of Heaven is in power, the auxiliary ministers will naturally not be able to do it, but the Metropolitan Governor of the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion can still sit down.

You must know that Ji Ping, the former governor of the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion, has been in this position for more than 20 years!

Ji Lin immediately got up and stood respectfully.

The young emperor sat on the chair, frowned and thought for a while, and then muttered: "Governor, Shen Xiang and Yan Sikong, most of them will hold a court meeting, and I will also be present, and you will stand on my side at that time." ”

"This is natural."

Ji Lin bowed his head and said, "The minister and His Majesty are a family, so naturally they will not stand with outsiders." ”

The young Son of Heaven had a serious face.

"My bottom line is that we can increase troops in Hanzhong, but we must not easily move troops to the southwest, the situation in the southwest cannot be solved in a day or two, it will take more than ten or twenty years to take it slowly, and rash actions may shake the country's foundation."

Speaking of this, after a pause, he continued: "Then there is Taifu Li's side, it is impossible for the imperial court to send someone to arrest him back to the capital, everything is as gentle as possible......"

He has a deep relationship with Li Xin, and Taikang Tianzi has told him more than once that the terrible thing about himself as a teacher is that he doesn't want to, and can't be, an enemy of Li Xin until he is absolutely sure.

Ji Lin was silent for a while, then bowed his head and said, "Your Majesty's meaning, the minister understands." ”

"The minister must do his best and stand on His Majesty's side."

"But you're just an adjugant."

The Son of Heaven frowned and said: "The four auxiliary ministers could originally control each other, and the old man was an old man who planned the country, but now that the old man is gone, there are only three auxiliary ministers left in the court, and those two big-headed scholars can forcibly govern." ”

Speaking of this, the Son of Heaven looked at Ji Lin.

"Governor, listen up."

Ji Lin's expression froze, and he bowed his head and said, "Listen to the holy oracle." ”

"If Shen Kuan and Yan Shouchou insist on going west during the court discussion, and I can't stop them, I will be ready to abolish the ......."

"It's pro-government in advance."

When Ji Lin heard this, he only felt that his scalp was a little numb, he knelt on the ground again, bowed his head and said, "Your Majesty...... This move is too risky, Your Majesty thinks twice. ”

Abolishing the prime minister, confirming is a very risky move, and it can only be done by an emperor who is dictatorial and dictatorial, and a son of heaven who is not pro-government cannot do it, and he has no power to do so.

On the contrary, if several auxiliary ministers all think that the little emperor is not good, they can abolish the emperor and set up another son of heaven.

The young Tianzi's face was solemn.

"I've thought about it many times."
