Donglin was jointly established by the first emperor and empress. The founding empress's guards were always directly under the jurisdiction of the founding empress. After the founding empress passed away, in accordance with her will, her guards became the Phoenix Guards, which could only be mobilized by the empress holding the Phoenix talisman.

The Fengwei Army was directly under the jurisdiction of the Queen. Its original intention was to consolidate the imperial power, ensure the safety of the legitimate princes, and avoid the tragedy of princes seizing the throne.

Therefore, the Fengwei Army has great authority and is not subject to any orders from the emperor. When necessary, it can even obey the orders of the queen and directly purge the emperor's side!

There was indeed a precedent in Donglin's history. A prince with a favorite concubine, backed by a powerful general, once attempted to compete with the empress's son for the throne. As soon as the battle for the throne began, the Phoenix Guards were dispatched, quickly ending the battle. The concubine, the prince, and the general's entire clan were dismembered! That emperor also suffered a miserable death, passing away not long after.

This was the only time the Fengwei Army was deployed, which directly shocked the court of Donglin. From then on, no one dared to offend the queen of Donglin, and the emperors of Donglin were all born to the queen.

According to the purpose of the Phoenix Guard, it would not pose a threat to the emperor. However, everyone has selfish motives. With such a powerful guard at the helm of the Empress, who can guarantee that she won't harbor other ulterior motives?

This is also the reason why Ouyang Mao and Ouyang Ji were reluctant to appoint a queen - who would be willing to have such an army that can control the emperor in the hands of others?

Therefore, Murong Shuo's behavior is thought-provoking - is he simply doting on his sister, or is he attracted to Donglin's Fengwei Army?

But no matter what his reason was, the Queen of Donglin could never be a foreign woman!

Just when this incident caused an uproar in Donglin, another explosive news came out: the child of the new emperor who was about to succeed to the throne - Lin Wanrou was not the son of the previous emperor!

As the saying goes, there is no smoke without fire. Considering that Lin Yiyi gave birth to a stillborn baby, people are mixed about this news and no one has a definitive answer.

The Donglin court was in chaos. Ouyang Ji's faction and Lin Jingshan's faction were clearly divided into two factions. They first confronted each other and then went to war.

This battle lasted for several months. Because the princes from all over the country did not take action, the fighting was limited to the capital and nearby towns. However, there was an exception, and that was Xingqing, which was firmly protected by Sikong Zhan.

Lin Jinghan's business blueprint has been gradually implemented. In addition to colored glass, there are many other rare but practical things that have been promoted step by step to the entire Donglin by Lin Jinghan. Donglin's business has been completely renewed, and the names of Lin Zhengchu and Lin Zhenghe have become the representatives of Donglin's business.

The battle in the Donglin court ultimately ended with Ouyang Ji's victory. Ouyang Ji examined Lin Wanrou's child in public—it turned out not to be the late emperor's child.

Donglin's several months of civil war ended in vain, and was laughed at by the other three countries. Prime Minister Lin Jingshan, former imperial concubine Lin Wanrou and all the people in Prime Minister's party became sinners of Donglin, including Prime Minister Lin's eldest daughter - Lin Jinghan!

This time, Ouyang Ji changed his indulgence towards Lin Jinghan and directly asked King Jingnan for her, as if he wanted to get rid of her as soon as possible.

"Ah Zhan, tell me, having such a father is the worst misfortune I've ever had. Not only was I schemed against by him, but now I have to suffer his consequences..."

Lin Jinghan took the account book and quickly calculated the money she had earned these days. She didn't seem worried at all about being implicated.

The red Sikong Zhan was patiently counting beads there, and he sneered when he heard this.

"If Ouyang Ji dares to take advantage of you, I will kill him."

It seems that this man is addicted to regicide? Lin Jinghan's mouth twitched.

"I know you will protect me, Zhan, but as the daughter of a traitor, I'm afraid I'll have to follow you for the rest of my life. Sigh..." Even lying down is enough to get shot...

Sikong Zhan in black slowly flipped through the results of Lin Jinghan's business empire in the past few months. Upon hearing this, he put down the booklet in his hand and said very cautiously:

"Jinghan, have you ever thought that maybe you are not Lin Jingshan's daughter? Lin Jingshan's daughter can never be the Saint of Beijiang."

In fact, she was not the Saint of Beijiang... Lin Jinghan silently put this truth back into her stomach.

"There's no point in saying this now. I don't care if he's my father or not. I'm just curious. The emperor took so much money from me, knowing that this would offend you and potentially cost you your cash cow, so why did he insist on blaming me? What's his plan? I don't think someone like him would be pressured by his ministers to confront you head-on."

"Once he makes a move, we will naturally know what he wants to do. Let's settle the accounts quickly. I believe that in a few days the great witch will call you back to Beijiang to preside over the sacrifice." The black Sikong Zhan picked up the booklet again and carefully sorted out their next development direction.

"He is not the kind of person who would do useless work." Lin Jinghan was a little worried, but her time was really tight. She picked up the account book and read the accounts again.

Red Sikong Zhan moved the beads again, and after a long time, they finally finished calculating the accounts.

Wow, in just a few months, Lin's Trading Company earned the combined profits of all his stores in the year! Sikong Zhan only knew that the business model designed by Lin Jinghan was very profitable, but he didn't expect it to be so profitable!

Even the always arrogant Red Sikong Zhan couldn't help but gasp in amazement.

"Jinghan, I'm really curious about what's going on in your head. How did you come up with this unprecedented way of doing business?"

Isn't it just about developing franchises? Non-core technology production franchises, sales franchises. Lin Jinghan didn't explain these concepts to them, because even if she did, they might not understand.

She raised her eyebrows.

"I've always been a lazy person. I never do anything myself if I can avoid it. So I thought, let others produce my goods, and then let others help me sell the goods. I just need to stand on top of them, provide them with methods and ideas, and then take a small part of their profits."

The black Sikong Zhan nodded, "This time we go to Beijiang, why not..."

"Why don't we open the Lin's Trading Company in Beijiang! Azhan, do you want to be in partnership with me? I'll give you 10% of the profits." Lin Jinghan took over the conversation, and the three of them smiled knowingly.

Lin Jinghan was busy preparing to open a branch in Beijiang, but the emperor did not give them time - all the stores of Lin's Trading Company in the capital were closed.

Not only that, the emperor also sent someone to inform Lin Jinghan that if she did not go to the capital for one day, he would close down the Lin's business in one city for one day. He also specifically emphasized that only she could go alone, and if she did not arrive in the capital within three days, the emperor would kill everyone in the Pingnan Marquis Mansion and the Mu Wang Mansion!
