Chapter 31 Rewards

"What can a three-year-old do? They must be trying to blackmail the emperor to control the princes." Lin Baige was anxious. "How could an imperial examination cause such a big mess? I am also considering this country."

"But you have touched their interests. Their children will have to pass exams before they can become officials in the court, and they will have to compete with civilians. Not only will it increase the difficulty, but if civilians take their positions, their interests will be divided." Fu Jiangyu's tone was flat, as if he was not angry at all because these people united to rebel.

"You knew this situation would happen a long time ago, so why did you agree to hold the imperial examination? Did you just want me to see what the price is?" Lin Baige's impression that Fu Jiangyu was a love-brained person deepened a bit. Just to let him see what the noble families would do, he was willing to risk the throne being taken away. It felt like he was playing tricks on the princes with beacon fires.

"Don't worry, the throne won't be taken away." Fu Jiangyu put his arm around Lin Baige's waist and held her in his arms. "I deliberately forced them to rebel so that I could wipe them out in one fell swoop. I have been shackled by them for too long. It's time to resist."

Lin Baige was startled. Before he could react to what he meant, he heard Fu Jiangyu say to the secret guards, "Tell Marquis Dingyuan to join forces with Marquis Nan'an tonight to capture all the rebels. Kill the leader directly, there's no need to capture them alive."

The secret guard accepted the order: "Yes."

Lin Baige looked at Fu Jiangyu in shock. It turned out that when Fu Jiangyu went to the disaster area this time, he transferred all the troops of Nan'an Marquis away. It was not for the two rebel armies, but for the purpose of cooperating with Dingyuan Marquis from inside and outside?

No wonder he said that the two rebel armies were all old, weak and sick, so there was no need to mobilize 200,000 troops. It turned out to be for this moment?

He thought that the Nannan Marquis' army followed to protect the emperor.

Fu Jiangyu touched his head and said, "They must have thought that I was in the palace. They captured me and used me to threaten the Marquis of Nan'an outside the city so that he would not dare to act rashly. Little did they know that I was also outside the city."

Lin Baige was stunned for a moment, then slowly raised a thumb and said to him, "Your Majesty is truly as foresighted as a god."

"I also want to thank you for giving me this opportunity. First, you cleaned out some people who were disloyal to the country, and then you cleaned out some people who had the intention of rebellion. You are my great contributor, and I will reward you well when I go back." Fu Jiangyu said with a smile.

Every time Lin Baige saw him smile like this, he felt that he had a stronger male ghost smell. In Fu Jiangyu's words, those who were disloyal to the country were Lin Xing's followers, and those who had the intention of rebellion were the current group of rebellious families.

He just thought that Fu Jiangyu was in love, but suddenly he couldn't see through Fu Jiangyu. Was Fu Jiangyu really in love, or was he pretending to be a pig and eating the tiger, using the relationship between the original owner and Lin Xing to develop his own followers, and then wipe out Lin Xing's followers?

But if he was just using him, why was Fu Jiangyu ultimately killed by the original owner? Could it be that Fu Jiangyu didn't expect the original owner to kill him so quickly? If he hadn't traveled through time, and Fu Jiangyu had just happened to escape the assassination, then the people who died would be Lin Xing and the original owner?

Lin Baige looked up at Fu Jiangyu and suddenly felt a little scared.

"Why are you looking at me like that?" Fu Jiangyu asked him.

"Your Majesty just said that he would reward me. What reward would he give me?" Lin Baige trembled. If Fu Jiangyu didn't love him, then after dealing with those aristocratic families, would it be his turn?

He didn't want to die yet! He wanted to ask Fu Jiangyu tentatively first, and get some clues from Fu Jiangyu's reaction. If the situation was not right, he had to escape in the chaos.

Unexpectedly, Fu Jiangyu pulled his hand and pressed it to a certain place: "My..."

Lin Baige quickly withdrew his hand as if he had been burned: "Don't talk about this in such a serious moment!"
