The wife is the king of the palace

"Is this really okay?" Xu Lan put down the chess piece in his hand, and raised his eyes to look at the person sitting opposite.

After taking off his court clothes and changing into a commoner clothes, Lin Xu seemed to have concealed even the aggressive temperament on his body, and now he seemed to be really just a scholar.

Xu Lan put down the chess piece in his hand and transformed into Lin Xu's chess move. He had already thought about the direction on the chessboard, and he raised his hand and dropped his fingers very quickly.

"It's your turn." Lin Xu reminded.

Xu Lan looked at the place where Lin Xu had just placed his hand. After thinking for a moment, he took the white hand and placed it next to the place where Lin Xu had placed his hand.

"Now the court is in chaos. Everyone in the court is in danger. If you are forced to leave, they will regret it." Xu Lan said this, as if the court was really in chaos, but his expression But it was indifferent, not in a hurry or in a hurry.

In the past, all the officials more or less rejected Lin Xu. After all, Lin Xulai was the head of the hundred officials, and he was also a person close to Jin Qi. He usually did things for Jin Qi.

Coupled with his position as the prime minister, there are countless people who secretly think about it.

Before Lin Xu lost power and resigned from office, there was even a gust of upsurge in the court. Many people stared at the prime minister's position with red eyes, sarcasm and defensive among each other.

But after Lin Xu resigned from office, let alone sitting on the position of prime minister, they didn't even get close to each other, and Jin Qi broke out.

Everyone in the court originally involved Lin Xu in the matter, but they just used the topic to play against the continuation. Jin Qi's outbreak made everyone vaguely aware of something, but at this moment, no one cares about that anymore, and no one cares about it .

After that, Jin Qi searched for people like crazy everywhere, and his anger in the middle of the court became more and more gloomy as Lin Xu kept disappearing.

The more serious the atmosphere, the more cautious the courtiers were, for fear of bumping into Jin Qi who was furious at this time.

Compared with the prime minister's position, saving one's life is naturally more important. If one's life is gone, what's the use of having the prime minister's position?

The court was gloomy, and the group of people who were staring at Prime Minister Lin Xu's position with red eyes even started to come up with ideas to help find people everywhere, just hoping to find Lin Xu back as soon as possible to stabilize the furious Jin Qi .

As for the matter between Jin Qi and Lin Xu, everyone didn't think it before, but now they guessed that the relationship between the two should have been different from that of ordinary emperor's courtiers. Apart from being a little awkward, everyone didn't feel much.

After all, Lin Xu and Jin Qi have always been together, and they already knew this well.

Bringing Lin Xu back and stabilizing the current situation is just to bring everything back to the way it was before. There is no loss for them, and the advantages outweigh the disadvantages.

Xu Lan paid attention to the expression on Lin Xu's face, but Lin Xu seemed to be too focused on the chessboard in front of him, and didn't hear what he was saying at all.

"He sent more people yesterday, and it seems that he is planning to expand the scope of the search." Xu Lan had no choice but to say again.

Now Jin Qi was furious, and the court was in chaos, but Lin Xu didn't seem to want to go back. Xu Lan felt a headache for Jin Qi thinking about the chaos in the court.

Lin Xu finally reacted when he heard the words, "Let him go."

"If this continues, Dayu will be in chaos." Xu Lan said, but there was still no worry in his eyes.

Lin Xu remained silent, because he really wanted to make trouble with Jin Qi, and the more violent the trouble, the better.

When he took off his court clothes and left the letter of resignation, he had already expected this would happen. He had known Jin Qi for so long, so it was not difficult to guess what would happen to Jin Qi.

In fact, he took a fancy to the current messy situation, so he resigned on purpose.

Lin Xu didn't intend to do this at first. He had this idea only after the end of the war, when officials in the DPRK and China brought up the previous incident again, and when someone even deliberately guided the public opinion of the people.

Jin Qi is the lord of the country, but those people secretly stir up trouble against Jin Qi just because they are dissatisfied with Jin Qi's lack of troops, and even take the initiative to spread public opinion to get the common people involved.

It seems small

, but if you think about it, it is worth pondering.

Those people dare to do this now just because they are dissatisfied with a decision made by Jin Qi. Next time, if Jin Qi issues another order that makes all the officials dissatisfied, will those people rebel?

The matter of the rebel army comes first, if this breeding idea is not killed in time, sooner or later it will cause an irreparable disaster.

If Jin Qi was a foolish king, a foolish and immoral person, Lin Xu might help those people secretly, but this time Jin Qi was obviously right.

It is easy to send troops, but difficult to support wars, and Xia Guo has been pushed to the limit now.

It’s fine if Xia Guo can be persuaded to surrender, but if Xia Guo is unwilling to surrender and is determined to die with them, even if Xia Guo is no longer a fear to the whole Dayu, the soldiers who died in the battle are not. Definitely a lot more than expected.

Those people in the court were obsessed with sending troops, and Lin Xu didn't understand their thinking. If Xia Guo was really taken down and Dayu's territory expanded, the officials in the court would definitely benefit the most.

Xia Guo's treasury, the newly added territories, and the reform and expansion of various taxes at that time, all of which can bring endless benefits casually.

If Jin Qi did not send troops, it would mean that everyone saw that the benefits that had already been obtained were all turned into bubbles, and everyone was naturally angry.

Lin Xu has always understood the thoughts of Baiguan, that's why he came up with this trick. He wanted to use Jin Qi's anger to let everyone figure out his identity.

As for the use of Jin Qi, Lin Xu didn't feel any guilt, but was a little relieved after learning about his situation from Xu Lan.

He could have discussed this matter with Jin Qi and put on a good show together, but he didn't do that, just like Jin Qi did before.

Before Jin Qi deliberately let everyone know that he didn't like women and got angry, he could have discussed with him first before making a decision, but Jin Qi deliberately didn't tell.

Lin Xu understood Jin Qi's thoughts, but he couldn't accept it.In order not to implicate him, he deliberately let others hurt him, how could Lin Xu be happy?So this is revenge.

"What are you going to do next?" Xu Lan asked.

Lin Xu has always lived in his mansion. Only the people in his mansion know about this matter. Jin Qi has not noticed it at all. If he doesn't tell, he may not be able to notice it even after two months.

After hearing this, Lin Xu was silent for a moment, and then said again: "I want to go for a walk in Bianguang, but it happens that I have time."

"Border border?" Xu Lan was slightly surprised, but immediately understood.

When Lin Xu applied for the exam in the early years, he was the champion of martial arts, and he once wanted to go to the border to make contributions.

It's just that he never had a chance to leave after entering the court, and the court couldn't do without him later, so he hardly had the opportunity to visit the border.

"How long are you going to go?" Xu Lan glanced in the direction of the palace, feeling a little headache for Jin Qi.

"It shouldn't be too long." Lin Xu put down the chess pieces in his hand. He has a high probability of winning this game, and Xu Lan has already collected a lot of white pieces in his chess box.

Hearing Lin Xu's answer, Xu Lan heaved a sigh of relief, and at the same time he couldn't help showing a bit of a wry smile. Even Lin Xu's anger made people feel that it was all in his schemes, and people even suspected that he was Not really angry.

"Besides, he should have noticed it by now." Lin Xu kept his eyes on the chessboard.

Jin Qi was not really that stupid, he was just too angry and restless, that's why he missed thinking about Lin Xu's temperament, how could he resign and disappear when he tortured him?

Lin Xu is not the kind of person who cares about what outsiders say, and it is even more impossible for him to let go just because of a few sarcastic remarks from others.

According to his temperament, he was rejected by everyone and ridiculed. It would be strange if he didn't turn those anger to the point where he vomited blood.

Xu Lan smiled, Jin Qi probably realized that something was wrong soon, but it seemed that it would take some effort to find someone.

In the end, whether Jin Qi can find someone depends on whether Lin Xu is willing to be found, otherwise, with his continuous skills, even if he talks for ten or eight years, it probably won't be a problem.

"Do you want me to help you out of the city?" Xu Lan asked.

"No need, I can do it myself. There are too many people but it is easy to be exposed." Lin Xu refused.

Xu Lan nodded and didn't say much, but after thinking about it, he asked his servants to prepare some necessary dry food and clothes for the trip later.

The game of chess ended quickly after the two casually chatted. The winner was not Lin Xu, but Xu Lan.At the end, Xu Lan suddenly turned the tables and turned defeat into victory.

Lin Xu was quite unwilling to think that Xu Lan would turn the tables on Xu Lan at the end. Although he didn't have much expression on his face, he kept thinking about when he fell in Xu Lan's way.

Xu Lan continued to review the game by himself, but Xu Lan didn't bother him. He took the prizes from the two people's gambling games and put them aside.

In front of the chessboard, he continuously frowned deeply, unable to remember when he was touched by Xu Lan.

In front of the bookshelf, Xu Lan looked at the things that Lin Xu had lost to him recently and shook his head helplessly. He had never seen such a restless Lin Xu.

Lin Xu has always loved ancient books, calligraphy and paintings, and he has collected a lot over the years. Before leaving a letter to resign, he took away some of his favorites, but when they arrived at his house, they almost lost to him.

Lin Xu is also a stubborn person, he doesn't care what he says, but he always pays attention to what happens in the court.Xu Lan saw it, but didn't say anything.

Xu Lan was packing up his loot, but Lin Xu frowned deeply. The things he brought out were all his favorite treasures, and he was usually reluctant to leave the hands of others, but now he lost them.

Lin Xu was extremely unwilling, and his eyes were red when he looked at Xu Lan's back, but in the end he was still willing to gamble and admit defeat, and if he lost, he lost.

Lin Xu withdrew his gaze, picked up and placed the pieces on the chessboard separately, and he couldn't help thinking of Jin Qi during the movement.

Thinking back, Jin Qi threatened him with those ancient books, calligraphy and paintings more than once, but he failed, and unexpectedly, it ended up in Xu Lan's hands.

If Jin Qi knew about this, he would definitely gloat.
