The Grand Governor Ji Lin is the same generation as Emperor Chengde, Ji Man, or the grandfather of Emperor Yuan Zhao. However, his bloodlines are far apart, Ji Lin is very sensible and never talks about his seniority. He only recognizes himself as a minister of the Great Jin Dynasty.

Not long after he returned to the Grand Governor's Office, he received a summon from the palace. The Grand Governor did not hesitate and changed into court clothes, he rushed to the study room of Weiyang Palace and knelt respectfully in front of Emperor Yuan Zhao.

Logically speaking, he was the assistant minister, the elder of the emperor, and the great governor of the Grand Governor's Office. No one could be said to have the authority in the court, so it should not be this attitude, but because he is a royal family, he has much more respect for the young emperor than other ministers, because in front of him it was not only the emperor of the Great Jin Dynasty, but also the head of the Ji family.

As for the bloodline between the two people, it has been separated by four or five generations and is much more distant.

"My minister, Jilin, come to your Majesty."

Emperor Yuan Zhao was originally sitting on a chair, but when he heard this, he stood up and looked at Ji Lin, and sighed slightly: "Governor gets up, the whole family, don't be so polite."

Ji Lin stood up and said with his hands down: "Your Majesty summoned me to the palace, I don't know if it is..."

The emperor spoke slowly: "The Grand Commander should know about Zuo Pushe and Yan Sikong entering the palace together today?"

"Go back to your Majesty, I know."

Ji Lin lowered his head and said, "Shen Xiang still wanted to bring me into the palace to report things together, but I was in charge of the Grand Governor's Office and it was not convenient for me to interfere in political affairs, so I did not get involved."

The young emperor frowned.

"Shen Xiang and Yan Sikong want to send troops to the southwest."

He looked at Ji Lin and said in a deep voice: "I don't agree with this matter. At least I can't be so impatient and don't make any preparations, just move troops to the southwest."

Ji Lin bowed respectfully: "Your Majesty is wise."

"My wise is useless."

The emperor said slowly: "I have not taken charge of the government yet, and the power of the government is not in my hands. If Shen Xiang and Yan Sikong insist on sending troops to the southwest, I may not be able to say much."

The Grand Governor looked up at the emperor and said, "If Your Majesty does not agree, the other two assistant ministers will not insist on doing it, and will wipe out His Majesty's face."

"Who knows if those big-headed scholars will be stubborn?"

The term "big-headed scholar" was learned from Li Xin. The older he grew up, the more he felt that the word was appropriate.

Emperor Yuan Zhao sneered: "Those scholars think that they are in power and have the talent to pacify the world. They have always looked at people with their nostrils and regarded themselves as noble. Now that the regime is in their hands, Yang, the more stable husband in the Shangshu Deck, has also retired and returned to his hometown. If he is Shen Kuan, who can stop him?"

Ji Lin lowered his head and said nothing.

The emperor scolded the prime minister a few times, so there was no problem, but it was not convenient for him, a minister, to scold him.

Emperor Yuan Zhao looked at Ji Lin and frowned and said, "Grandmaster, what do you think if the imperial court wants to conquer the west again?"

The Grand Governor was in charge of the power of dispatching troops in the Great Jin Dynasty, and the Grand Governor's position was called Grand Sima by the public. He naturally had the most say in the war.

Ji Lin frowned and thought for a while, and said, "In terms of military strength, our Jin court is naturally far superior to the southwest. When Marquis Li brought only one right camp of the imperial guards, he could wipe out tens of thousands of troops in the southwest, which shows the courage of the imperial guards in the capital, but today's southwest is not much better than that of the southwest ten years ago."

"The two battalions of imperial guards near the capital cannot produce one battalion like they did ten years ago. In addition, the mysterious thunder in the southwest has been there, and the court is still at a loss for it. In short, I think the southwest is a very difficult bone to chew."

"If you have to chew hard, the court will probably have to do its best."

The so-called "doing all your strength" means that the imperial guards in the capital were 80% of them, leaving only 20% to defend the capital, and all the rest went to the battlefield. When Emperor Wu unified the world, the imperial guards in the capital of the capital were almost all, and under the leadership of Ye Sheng, they captured the capital of the Northern Zhou Dynasty in one fell swoop.

But at present, the court cannot and will not do so.

Although Emperor Zhao of Yuan was young, he was the crown prince of the Great Jin Dynasty since he could remember. He had received more than ten years of education and trained him as the future emperor. Therefore, he could still see the situation in the Great Jin Dynasty very clearly.

The little emperor glanced at Ji Lin and sighed slightly.

"I, Dajin, no longer have the sharp sword like Mr. Ye."

"This matter can be done lightly, slow, not heavy or urgent."

The emperor sat back in his position and looked at Ji Lin.

"What does the Grand Governor mean?"

Ji Lin knelt on the ground without hesitation.

"My dear, all follow His Majesty's orders."

The emperor waved.

"The Grand Governor doesn't need to do this. I'm summoning you into the palace to discuss things with you, not to kowtow."

As an assistant minister, there was no need for Ji Lin to be so low-key, but now it is the autumn of the first year of Yuan Zhao. Seeing that the emperor will take power in more than a year, the position of this assistant minister will last for more than a year at most.

Ji Lin has only been in the position of the Grand Governor for two or three years. At this time, he was showing his loyalty to the emperor. Thinking that after the emperor took power, the auxiliary ministers naturally could not be able to be, but the Grand Governor's Office could still sit down.

You know, Ji Ping, the former Governor of the Grand Governor's Office, has been working in this position for more than 20 years!

Ji Lin immediately stood up and stood respectfully.

The young emperor sat on the chair, frowned and thought for a while, and pondered: "Grandmaster, Shen Xiang and Yan Sikong, most of them will convene a court discussion, and I will also be there. You must stand on my side at that time."

“This is natural.”

Ji Lin lowered his head and said, "I am a family with Your Majesty, so I will naturally not stand with outsiders."

The young emperor looked serious.

"My bottom line is that I can increase troops in Hanzhong, but I must not easily deploy troops in the southwest. The situation in the southwest cannot be solved in a day or two. It takes more than ten or twenty years to take it slowly and act rashly, which may shake the foundation of the country."

Speaking of this, he paused and continued, "There is also the side of Mr. Li. It is impossible for the court to send someone to capture him back to the capital. Everything is as gentle as possible..."

He had a deep relationship with Li Xin, and Emperor Taikang had told him more than once that the horror of his teacher was that he would not want to be an enemy of Li Xin without absolute certainty.

Ji Lin was silent for a while, lowered his head and said, "Your Majesty, I understand what your majesty mean."

"I must do my best to stand on Your Majesty's side."

"But you are just a servant."

The emperor frowned and said, "The four assistant ministers could have been restrained by each other. Her husband Yang was a well-planned prime minister, but now her husband Yang has left, and there are only three assistant ministers left in the court. Those two big-headed scholars can force their governance."

Speaking of this, the emperor looked at Ji Lin.

"Governor, listen."

Ji Lin looked shaking and lowered his head and said, "I listen to the emperor's order."

"If Chen Kuan and Yan Shouzhu insist on going to the west when the court discusses, and we can't stop them, I will be ready to depose the prime minister..."

"I took power in advance."

When Ji Lin heard this, he felt his scalp numb. He knelt on the ground again and lowered his head and said, "Your Majesty... This is too risky, Your Majesty thinks twice."

The deprived prime minister is a very risky move. It must be done by an arbitrary emperor. An emperor who has not taken power cannot do it and has no right to do so.

On the contrary, if the auxiliary ministers all thought that the little emperor was not good, they could abolish the emperor and establish another emperor.

The young emperor looked solemn.
