Chapter 646: A Great Tribulation Comes

Lin Zhihuai looked at his daughter, and saw a shallow smile on her face, a calm look, as if all worries were superfluous. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

Lin Wan raised his eyes to look at Lin Zhihuai, his eyes were full of confidence and calmness, and he said gratefully: "Father, thank you for helping my grandfather and uncle speak in front of the emperor today, even at the expense of offending His Royal Highness the Prince." However, you don't have to worry about His Royal Highness the Crown Prince going against you. Now the emperor is suspicious of the crown prince, and he has the intention to promote the third, fourth, sixth and seventh princes, so that they can compete with the crown prince and balance the forces of all parties. You draw a line with the crown prince at this time, which is in the emperor's heart, and the prince naturally does not dare to retaliate against you. As long as the emperor believes in your loyalty, it is enough. ”

After listening to Lin Wan's analysis, Lin Zhihuai couldn't help but nod slightly, and said thoughtfully: "What Wan'er said is good, the prince thought that if he defeated the second prince, he would be one step closer to that position." However, as everyone knows, the closer he gets to that position, the more jealous the emperor is of him, there are no second princes, there are three princes, four princes, six princes, and seven princes, of course, the emperor will not let the crown prince alone and threaten the emperor's supreme power. ”

Lin Wan nodded and said with a smile: "My father is worthy of being the emperor's confidant, and he knows the emperor's mind best, so he naturally knows the prince's current situation and future fate." Therefore, it is better for us to draw a clear line with the crown prince, so as not to be implicated at that time. ”

Lin Zhihuai twisted his eyebrows slightly, looked at Lin Wan inquiringly, and asked hesitantly, "Does Wan'er think that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is about to come in a catastrophe soon?"

Lin Wan hooked her lips and smiled, and said, "Father, if the second prince and Liu Jinfeng end up like this, the Liu family will not give up." Don't forget, Emperor Liu's concubine still has the Nine Emperor Princes, although the Nine Emperor Princes are only seven years old this year, but the emperor is in good health, and of course there will be no plans to inherit the throne in recent years. When the time comes, the Nine Emperor Princes will just reach adulthood, and the Liu family will naturally have a long-term plan. Let's watch the fire from the other side and wait and see. ”

Lin Zhihuai nodded slightly, he didn't think about what Lin Wan said, but no one could be as sure as Lin Wan said.

He was very curious, why was his daughter so sure that the crown prince would definitely lose to Liu Qingyuan?

Lin Zhihuai didn't ask the question in his heart, because Lin Wan's analysis was very correct. Lin Zhihuai has already seen that the emperor is extremely dissatisfied with the prince, Liu Qingyuan is also against the prince everywhere, and even the third prince seems to have a great opinion of the prince. Now that the prince is embattled, it is the best time to bring down the prince, so all forces will not let go of this great opportunity.

And his daughter has always been unfathomable, and the forces behind it should not be underestimated, if she says that the prince is going to be unlucky, then there is no doubt about this matter.

Lin Zhihuai nodded lightly and said, "Wan'er, the relationship between the eldest princess and the queen mother is very delicate, you have to be careful to deal with it, don't be careless, and become a victim of the fighting between their mother and daughter." ”

Lin Wan asked suspiciously: "Fighting method, what do you mean by this? Please let my father make it clear." ”

Lin Zhihuai thought for a while and said, "This matter is a long story, so I'll briefly talk to you about it as a father." The world says that the eldest princess and Ning Juma are very affectionate, but in fact, the world doesn't know that the eldest princess already had a heart before she got married, and that person was not Ning Juma. ”

Lin Wan was shocked when she heard this, she saw with her own eyes that Zhou Changying had a deep affection for Ning Yuma, and missed it day and night, how could she have something else in her heart?

Lin Zhihuai smiled slightly and continued to explain: "The person that the eldest princess likes is a general under King Wu back then, named Zhong Lichuan. The eldest princess knelt down and begged the Queen Mother to make a decree to marry her to Zhong Lichuan, but how could the Queen Mother agree to let her only daughter marry King Wu's subordinates?"

Lin Wan's eyes widened, completely incredulous. A middle-aged man with gentle and elegant eyes, sharp eyes, and wisdom and boldness suddenly appeared in his mind, who was now Zhong Lichuan, the general of the Eastern Qi army, that is, Zhong Rong'er's father. She would never have thought that the person Zhou Changying liked was Zhong Lichuan.

However, thinking about it again, with Zhou Changying's temperament, it is reasonable to like a big hero like Zhong Lichuan.

Lin Zhihuai didn't know that Lin Wan knew Zhong Lichuan, thinking that she was just curious about the eldest princess's sweetheart when she was young, and patiently explained: "Although when I came to the capital as a father, King Wu had already been imprisoned, Zhong Lichuan had disappeared, and I had not seen him. However, it is said that he was a hero back then, and it was also the dream of countless girls in the capital. ”

Lin Wan frowned and asked, "However, my daughter saw with her own eyes that the eldest princess missed Ning Yuma, it couldn't be pretended?"

Lin Zhihuai nodded and continued: "In the years when the eldest princess and Ning Juma first got married, the relationship was not very good. It wasn't until King Wu was imprisoned and Zhong Lichuan disappeared that Ning Juma cared for the depressed eldest princess, and his relationship with the eldest princess took a turn for the better. More than ten years ago, the eldest princess Lian Lian Ning's family was beheaded all over the house, burying hundreds of lives. After that, the eldest princess felt even more guilty about Ning Yuma and tried her best to compensate. For my father's guess, I'm afraid that until now, the eldest princess has more guilt than nostalgia for Ning Yuma. ”

Lin Wan was shocked, pondered for a moment, and then asked, "Father, why did you say that the Ning family was affected by Her Royal Highness the eldest princess?"

Lin Zhihuai's face was serious, he took a deep breath, and said: "More than ten years ago, King Wu was imprisoned, and his subordinates went to rob the prison many times, it is said that the eldest princess and the Ning family are involved, and the emperor can't do anything to the eldest princess, so he has to take the Ning family." Later, King Wu and Princess Wu were both martyred in the prison of the Criminal Department, and the news of their deaths was sealed by the emperor's order, and it was the eldest princess who passed the news on and assisted outsiders to take the prince of Wu away from the palace. Only then did the emperor announce to the world that King Wu died violently, Princess Wu was martyred, and the prince of Wu died of illness. ”

Lin Wan nodded slightly, it turned out that there was such a story in it. It was Zhong Lichuan who took away Zhou Tiancheng, the son of King Wu, Zhong Lichuan was under the protection of the palace, and under Zhou Changan's heavy search, he even took Zhou Tiancheng out of the capital, it turned out that it was not only because Feng Xueyu and Wang Yuqin were helping in the palace, but also because Zhou Changying was helping outside the palace, no wonder Zhou Changan was so angry about this matter, and went to Feng Xueyu to vent his anger.

Lin Zhihuai sighed lightly and said, "Therefore, the eldest princess has a grudge against the Queen Mother, and the Queen Mother misses her only daughter, but she also has a headache when she sees her. Therefore, if the eldest princess annoys the queen mother, maybe the eldest princess will be safe, but the people around her may become scapegoats. ”
