I Don’t Want To Be the Emperor

Chapter 564 King Jin

Then he inadvertently glanced at the more and more soldiers of King Yong who were pouring out of the city gate. Except for the cavalry who followed King Yong at the beginning, they looked a little bit different. The further back, the more they looked like hungry people.

Many people were dressed in tatters and were as thin as skin and bones. Some were supporting each other, and some were holding long spears.

Several horses, halfway up the road, raised their front hooves and fell down directly. The groom leading the horses not only did not have a trace of sadness, but his face was full of joy. Before he could react, someone was already holding a long knife and directly pulled the horse. The horse was cut to pieces, and soon a group of people came up to share the food.

“This is eaten raw. How hungry are you?”

Lin Yi was dumbfounded.

Jin Bo stepped forward and explained, "Your Majesty, the food and grass in the city have long been gone. King Yong had no choice but to kill many war horses. The few horses in front of him are probably barely left."

Lin Yi sighed and said, "Bury pots and give porridge. After eating and drinking, those who are willing to go back to their hometowns will be given money to go back to their hometowns. Those who are willing to go to Saibei can continue to Saibei."

Most of the officers and soldiers under King Yong's command are military households who have been in the guard for generations. They are other people's fathers and other people's sons.

　　Whether they go to the battlefield and become butchers or cannon fodder, it is not their decision.

 In this era, most people cannot decide their own destiny.

He even let King Yong escape, and there was no reason to embarrass these ordinary soldiers anymore.

"yes."

 Jin Bo responded loudly.

The civilians of Sanhe had already retreated to the mountain col behind. Now they heard that they were going to give porridge, so they ran back from the mountain col. It was not that they were very enthusiastic, but they wanted to fish in troubled waters and take the opportunity to do business with the officers and soldiers of King Yong.

 The cauldron is just set up, and it will take at least an hour for the firewood to be lit, the water to be added, and the rice to be added.

Many Yongwang officers and soldiers could no longer hold out the porridge in the cauldron. As long as the civilians were willing to give them a mouthful of food, they were willing to exchange for anything. Three kilograms of millet for an ancestral jade pendant, a long gun for a hard yellow steamed bun, and armor for meat. The operation of preserved meat is not uncommon.

 “Damn it, it’s unreasonable for them not to get rich.”

Lin Yi saw many familiar figures in the ranks of civilians.

More than a dozen messengers rode on tall horses and held rat flags while running among the soldiers of King Yong who were swaying to the east and west, shouting, "The regent has an order. If you can repent and surrender, turn your heart to change, and lead your puppet officials, soldiers and people to stand On the left, I will pardon all the sins of resistance against you in the past, and still describe them favorably, and provide you with grace and arrangements, so that you can get what you want."

There were other heralds who helped translate from time to time in various local dialects, "If you want to go back to your hometown, stop on the left, if you want to go to Saibei, stop on the right. Get out as soon as you are full and full, without leaving any dinner."

Lin Yi listened carefully. Except for two sentences in Mandarin that he could understand, he could not understand a single word, especially Yuezhou dialect, Hongzhou dialect and Nanzhou dialect.

Chu Liang spurred his horse forward, his beard and hair spread out, and roared at Jin Bo, "General Jin, what do you mean by this?"

Jin Bo smiled and said, "General Chu, you still don't understand. Even King Yong doesn't want to take them away. After all, it's considered a drag. General Chu, King Yong must have gone very far by now. You'd better hurry up and chase them." Go up."

"you"

Although Chu Liang gritted his teeth, he had to admit that what Jin Bo said was right.

Not only did their team lose morale, but they also became old, weak, sick and disabled. Even if they were brought back, they would not be able to fight again.

 “General Chu,”

Lin Yi walked forward slowly and leisurely, "I respect the general as a good man. If you don't stay, I will protect your future."

Chu Liang cupped his hands and said, "Thank you very much, Your Majesty, for your kindness. I am too embarrassed to accept it, so I will take my leave."

 Speaking, he rode off.

"This Chu Liang is unruly and unruly, so the prince does not need to worry about him."

 Jin Bo said cautiously.

“I just said it casually, do you still take it seriously?”

Lin Yi said with a smile, "Chu Liang is a son of Prince Yong's family. His parents have been taken good care of by Prince Yong. If he dares to stay today, he will have to visit his parents' grave tomorrow."

 “That’s what the prince said.”

Jin Bo smiled bitterly, this Prince He still had the same temperament, always saying some specious truths.

 However, it has to be admired!

Pingcheng, which had been surrounded for a long time, and the prince arrived, and in a few words they asked King Yong to open the door!

 It’s like a dream!

You know, before this, General Shen Chu even entered Pingcheng alone, and he said a lot of good things. King Yong, King Nanling, and even Mei Jingzhi were all indifferent.

They are all fighting to the death and will be destroyed together.

King Yong even said: If the city is alive but the people are there, the city will be destroyed and people will die.

 To put it bluntly, King Yong did not trust these people, and did not even believe Emperor Delong's letters.

 However, as soon as he came with the prince, King Yong actually believed it!

You know, they and the prince are notoriously unreliable!

How can King Yong believe it?

Aren't you afraid of being deceived by someone who cheated you to death without paying for your life, or by a prince?

Furthermore, the Sanhe army has not yet retreated, but they are rushing to open the city gate?

 To use a sentence that is most often said in schools now, it is unscientific!

 Things like "trust" and "character" are really just as Han Jin said: they are metaphysics.

The sun sets in the west, and the heartbroken man is in front of us.

Lin Yi glanced at Prince Jin who was still looking at him angrily.

 “Fourth brother, are you very unconvinced?”

“Lao Jiu, if you have the guts, let us have a good fight. What kind of skills do you have!”

The neat mustache that King Jin had trimmed was now covered in dust and looked in a disgraceful state.

“I don’t have the guts. We all know that Fourth Brother, you are capable of both literary and martial arts. Wouldn’t it be uncomfortable to challenge you to a duel?”

Lin Yi didn't feel ashamed at all, but felt very honored. He, a man with no knowledge of civil and military skills, defeated these people with both civil and military skills. Isn't it something to be proud of?

"you"

 King Jin was held by two officers and soldiers by the arms. He still leaned forward and said through gritted teeth, "You are really a man in vain and you have disgraced me, the ancestors of the Lin family!"

Lin Yi snorted coldly, "If you talk like that, I won't be sleepy at all.

As the prince of the Liang Kingdom, you are evil-minded, robbed women of the people, and harmed innocent people. There are too many things to describe. Didn't you bring shame to the court and bring shame on your father's face?

　　You still dare to call yourself a scholar? I think this book has been read into the dog's belly. "

“You untouchables are like ants, do I, the king, have to give in to you everywhere?”

  King Jin was so angry that he was even out of breath.

“I’ve shown my cards, I’m not pretending anymore, I’m telling you directly, you are an ant here too,”

Lin Yi yawned and said slowly, "Then, how should I treat you?"

 Jin Bo and other generals were stunned.

 Should you speak so directly?

I wanted to hold back my laughter afterwards, but I really couldn't help it, so I could only turn my body slightly to avoid being seen by Prince He and Prince Jin.

 It’s a pity that I laughed out loud in the end.

  King Jin's face turned red, and finally turned into the color of pig liver.

Lin Yi waved his hand and said, "Take King Jin to the city gate."

 “Laojiu!”

King Jin roared angrily, "Even if you have grudges against me, don't you care about royal decency?"

If he was really allowed to kneel down in front of those untouchables today, how would he have the dignity to live in the world!

 “Morality?”

Lin Yi said disdainfully, "Liang Guo has been corrupted so far that his pants have been stripped clean. He has long lost his face, so why should he be decent?"

 The two soldiers couldn't help but drag King Jin down.

  King Jin stood upright in the urn city filled with sacks and wall bricks.

A school captain said in a low voice, "Prince Jin, those who know the current affairs are outstanding. If I take action, it will not look good on you, right?"

King Jin gritted his teeth, his knees fell to the ground, and his head hit his chest hard.

More and more people are coming out of the city.

Everyone was sallow, skinny, and withered. Looking at the steaming cauldron, they rushed over desperately, unable to care about King Jin who was kneeling on the ground.

  “It’s a pity.”

According to Lin Yi's idea, the people should pounce on the person and eat his flesh raw.

 It’s a pity that these people are so hungry that now they only have the smell of gruel in their noses.

 “Your Majesty.”

 Jin Bo didn’t understand what this meant.

Lin Yi sighed and said, "The army entered the city, took over the defense, garrisoned the treasury, and checked the household registrations. Do not let the young people take the opportunity to cause trouble. The civilians went into the city to give porridge and pushed the door into the house. No one was left out. If there is a disease, do it All dues are collected.”

"yes."

 The generals responded loudly again.

Lin Yi got off the chariot, got on the donkey, and entered the city surrounded by the generals, regardless of King Jin's look of wanting to eat someone.

Looking at the devastated Pingcheng, I felt very uncomfortable and went straight into the Jin Palace.

Pavilions and pavilions are connected by winding paths, gurgling streams flow in the wind, and carved eaves point to the sky. It is really luxurious.

Lin Yi couldn't help but sigh, "Damn it, no wonder people say that my brother is rich, with brackets and cornices, colorful decorations and gold decorations, but the **** pillars are actually made of red sandalwood. It's really irritating."

 In later generations, a pillar is probably a small target.

Going across a screen wall, a group of female relatives knelt in front of them, each with their own beauty.

His eyes were suddenly fixed on a woman wearing a bright yellow skirt, her face was covered with hibiscus, and her eyebrows were evenly divided by willows.

The woman's face turned red when Lin Yi stared at her, and she boldly said, "I wish you could live a thousand years to see the regent!"

 “You’re welcome, get up,”

Lin Yi then remembered that this was a concubine of King Jin, whom he had met when he was in the palace. Unexpectedly, after so many years, she was still so glamorous, "You can go back to Ankang when you are willing to go back to Ankang City." City, if you don’t want to, please do it yourself.”

 “Thank you, Your Majesty.”

All the female relatives said in unison.

Lin Yi glanced at the shivering children hiding in the arms of some female relatives, walked to a girl, and softly comforted her, "No matter what, I am your uncle, don't be afraid, just eat well, drink well and sleep well."

 After speaking, he entered the lobby of Prince Jin's Mansion without looking back.

The layout of the lobby is empty. The most eye-catching thing is the case in the middle. It is also made of red sandalwood and has a set of calligraphy written on it.

 “For the remaining three hundred years of this volume, scholars have been busy arguing about the topic.”

Lin Yi let Jin Bo unfold the calligraphy scroll, and after reading it aloud, he said with a smile, "Not to mention, my imperial brother is excellent in both poetry and calligraphy, but as a person, he is really not that good."

When Chen Yan was doing his lectures as an official, he was full of praise for the fourth prince.

 The meaning inside and outside the words is that the dragon gave birth to nine sons, each of whom is different.

Of course, he also praised Lin Yi highly, especially Lin Yi's calligraphy, saying that his pen and ink were full of energy.

Now that Lin Yi looks back, Chen Yan is simply a poisonous person.

If he hadn't met Shi Banquan, Xie Zan and others, he would never have realized how bad his calligraphy was in this life, including his previous life.

Jin Bo smiled and said, "Your Majesty, I dare to ask you for your calligraphy treasure."

"OK,"

Lin Yi rolled up his coat sleeves and said loudly, "Grind."

"yes."

Jinbo's dog-leg seemed to have to be polished by Lin Yi, and then he handed over the brush respectfully.

 After waiting for the prince to splash some ink with him, he ran over to take a look excitedly.

“Who will I take off my embroidered robe with, and spend the spring night warm under the hibiscus tent?”

  Jin Bo buried his head in thought.

What are you implying?

 Could they be the female relatives of Prince Yong’s Mansion?

Just when he was puzzled, he heard Prince He say again, "Don't just sit around here, go check the treasury quickly and see if you made a profit or a loss on this trip."

As soon as he stepped out of the threshold, he heard Prince He say again, "Don't forget, the biggest wealthy man in Pingcheng is Prince Jin. Even if the Jin Prince's palace digs three feet of ground, some oil and water will be scraped out."

  "Subordinates obey orders."

 Jin Bo ran away in a hurry.

Only Tan Fei and Lei Kaishan were left in front of Lin Yi.

Lei Kaishan boldly said, "Wherever the prince goes, Xiaoxiao bows his head and bows. His subordinates are really impressed."

“You also think I have the aura of the protagonist?”

Lin Yi raised his head and said.

Lei Kaishan smiled and said, "I think so."

 He is not unfamiliar with the so-called halo of the protagonist at all. After all, there are too many descriptions in He Wangye's books.

Lin Yi said disdainfully, "There are so many differences between me and the protagonist. Anyone with great luck is the biological son of Heaven. I can't follow suit."

 The cheats in the book, even if there is no system and no space, still have the old man in the ring as a standard.

  There is no distinction between men and women.

As soon as he finished speaking, Shen Chu came in with a bow, knelt down and said, "See you, Your Majesty."

Lin Yi said, "Where is King Yong running to now?"

Shen Chu said, "According to reports from spies, King Yong hastened his horse and has already left the border of Pingcheng.

However, when passing through Daxing Town, he connived at the soldiers and robbed two families. "

Lin Yidao, "Have you killed anyone?"

Shen Chu said, "I didn't hurt anyone."

 “This is a deliberate attempt to ruin your reputation, show it to me,”

Lin Yi snorted coldly, "My imperial brother is indeed a smart man."

Although he ordered the officers and soldiers of King Yong to leave gold, silver and jewelry, King Yong did not search his body when he left the city. Passing through the town, he must have money to buy food on him, so he would not be robbed.

Shen Chu said, "Your Majesty is wise."

Lin Yi continued, "Mei Jingzhi and Yang Changchun are keeping an eye on me. Don't let them run around."

 “Don’t worry, Your Majesty,”

Shen Chu said loudly, "My subordinates have brought them into the city and kept them under strict guard."

Lin Yi said, "The biggest hidden danger in the city is the people. They are hungry and can do anything. They must be comforted and conflicts must not be intensified."

Shen Chu said, "In accordance with the prince's instructions, my subordinates have sent people to work in the local area and visit from house to house to effectively solve the people's difficulties."

 “This is very good, so you can do it easily.”

Lin Yi sat on the chair, waved his hands and said, "Step back."

Sitting in the huge Jin Prince's Mansion, it still feels a bit unreal.
