Chapter 393 My kingdom is in danger!
Bai Wutong's words may seem plain, but in fact there are mysteries hidden between the lines.
Just waiting for the prey to fall into the net!
Jin Weige did not disappoint. She immediately raised her eyebrows and retorted angrily, "The country of Darong is now peaceful and prosperous. There is no place for you to talk nonsense here! Even if the emperor is gone, those barbarians will not dare to act rashly! You clearly want to send my elder brother to the border for your own selfish reasons!"
Bai Wutong was heartbroken. "Do you know what kind of danger we will face if the news of the emperor's accident spreads? It's the end of the year and there are no generals guarding the border. Those barbarians will definitely take the opportunity to send troops to harass the border. Once they find that Darong Kingdom has not responded properly, they will definitely invade! They are all wastelands and lack supplies. Only our Central Plains is rich in products and food. All the surrounding countries are eyeing the Central Plains and trying to get a piece of the pie!"
"I don't want to listen to your big truths. I only know that you want to send my elder brother to the border just to deal with me!" Jin Weige was almost paranoid and believed that this was Bai Wutong's conspiracy, and she refused to let Jin Zhi leave no matter what!
She is just a woman, she doesn't want to understand the so-called situation, which is what men should do.
Once Jin Zhi left, she would lose her only support in the harem and would be tortured to death sooner or later.
Compared to the crisis that the entire Darong Country may face, one's own life is the most important!
The safety of Darong Kingdom was too far away for her. She didn’t know and couldn’t guess when it would happen, but as soon as Jin Zhi left, her crisis would be imminent!
Bai Wutong pretended not to understand her thoughts, his face full of shock and disappointment, and he directly put a big hat on her, "Princess Jin, you are too selfish! Before the emperor passed away, not only did you not feel sad for the emperor, but you repeatedly came to me to seek a way out. Now you don't even care about the safety of Darong Country, and only care about your own insignificant personal interests!"
"I can tell you clearly that I don't know about this matter, and I don't know where you heard it from." Bai Wutong's tone slowed down a little, "But if we really have to send General Jin to the border in the end, then I can promise you that I will never touch you in the slightest. How about this? I just don't want to watch the emperor's kingdom fall into crisis because of our personal grudges!"
"How could you be so kind!" Jin Weige judged others by himself, and believed in his heart that if it were him, he would definitely take this opportunity to get rid of Bai Wutong as soon as possible, so how could he be so kind!
"Forget it. I have nothing to say to you. You are a selfish person at heart. Fortunately, the prince is by my side. If it were you... I'm afraid the entire palace would be in chaos because of you, and the country of Darong would be destroyed in your hands!"
The assumption made by Bai Wutong is totally untenable.
Jin Weige has no children, and no one can predict her final choice, and it is something that will never happen.
But what Bai Wutong wanted was exactly this kind of imaginative effect.
No matter whether she really means this or not, as long as the emperor thinks she does after hearing it, it is enough!
"Don't be so arrogant! If the emperor hadn't been in trouble, it wouldn't be your turn to make the decision here!"
Bai Wutong had a cold face and ordered his men to leave. "Even if you talk nonsense today, if it really comes to the point where General Jin is needed to guard the border and I have to make the decision, I will definitely put the country first!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Chan'er and other palace maids immediately stepped forward.
Bai Wutong looked at Jin Weige's departing back, a hint of coldness appearing at the corner of his lips.
What she just said would surely make her panic and rush into action.
At that time, she might write a letter to Jin Zhi. I hope the emperor can see the letter with his own eyes and see through this man's true face.
From the beginning to the end, Bai Wutong was always thinking about the country of Darong.
But Jin Weige only has himself in his heart!
Although it is human nature to seek benefits and avoid harm, the emperor is not really in trouble now.
It's all just a test.
As the examiner, the emperor naturally expects to see everyone being loyal to the emperor and patriotic.
The answer sheet I handed in got full marks!
The answer Jin Weige handed in can be said to be terrible!
Jin Weige hurriedly left Tishun Hall and walked quickly back to Yaoguang Hall. She immediately spread out paper and ground it into powder to write a letter to Jin Zhi.
Bai Wutong calmly gestured to Chan'er to clean up the mess.
Chan'er took the order, with just the right amount of worry on her face, and went to find Wang Decai, "Eunuch Wang, there's a rumor that after the crown prince ascends the throne, Concubine Zhao will send General Jin to the border. Concubine Jin made a scene in Tishun Hall because of this, so please come forward to dispel the rumor and stop letting the servants talk nonsense!"
Upon hearing this, Wang Decai nodded in agreement.
Even if he started an investigation, he could only find out that the rumor originated from the private gossip of a palace servant.
Now that the emperor is away, it is normal for the palace servants to worry about state affairs and occasionally discuss them in private.
Even if the news was leaked accidentally, it was at most an unintentional mistake and would not result in severe punishment.
Bai Wutong knew Wang Decai too well. He was originally a palace servant and was very compassionate to his servants.
In his eyes, the palace maids who discussed state affairs because they were concerned about them were not bad people by nature. They just spoke carelessly and caused unnecessary trouble.
Jin Weige hurriedly finished writing the letter and immediately ordered his trusted palace servants to deliver it to the outside of the palace at full speed.
Not long after, the secret letter was presented to Zhang Chengyan's desk.
He had already known everything that happened in Ti Shun Hall through his spies.
After Bai Wutong's incident, he immediately informed Wang Decai of the whole thing. Such an upright behavior made Jin Weige's thoughts seem even more shameless in comparison!
Zhang Chengyan unfolded the letter, glanced at it, and his face turned pale.
He threw the letter heavily to the ground, revealing the four big words "Zhao Fei framed" written at the end!
"This Concubine Jin! I am disappointed enough with her, but I didn't expect...she could disappoint me even more! If I really die, and the crown prince ascends the throne at a young age, the instability of the border will be a serious concern! Ordering Jin Zhi to guard the border is a strategy to consolidate the foundation, but she, for her own selfish reasons, disregarded the danger of her country and family, and attempted to trap the general in the capital. This is really a disaster for the country and the people!"
Zhang Chengyan changed the subject and said, "Wang Decai, what do you think?"
Wang Decai bowed his head and answered respectfully, "Your Majesty, you are wise. The Crown Prince has just taken over the throne. He needs ministers to assist him in the court, and the borders need good generals to guard them. General Jin has the tiger seal in his hand. Only if he guards the border in person can the barbarians be deterred. Concubine Jin's actions... are really inappropriate."
He knew clearly in his heart that it was inevitable for the women in the harem to worry about gains and losses, but the imperial family always considered the pros and cons instead of personal feelings, so he would never say this out loud.
Zhang Chengyan stood up, stood with his hands behind his back, looked at the white snow outside the window, and his tone became colder and colder, "Empress Zhao has promised to save her life, but she still wants to confuse right and wrong and frame loyal people, and even said that it was Concubine Zhao who framed her. It can be seen that she only cares about herself and has no loyalty to the emperor or the country! If she really has a prince and ascends the throne, my country will be in danger!"
The emperor hates the harem interfering in politics the most. Every word in Jin Weige's letter touched his reverse scale!
"Fortunately... the prince is the daughter of Bai Wutong. She is open-minded and knows the great cause. Yunhe will surely inherit the throne and shoulder the heavy responsibility of running the country. Keep this letter for the time being and do not need to pass it to the general's mansion. I want to see what Jin Weige can do without Jin Zhi's reply!"
