Chapter 56: King Ying should be killed
It turned out that the secret guards they planted were indeed "dealt with".
The secret guards who carried out this mission were all carefully selected, and their skills were unusual.
But King Ying was able to get rid of them all with the strength of one person, leaving only one wound on everyone's body, which was killed by a single blow of bamboo chopsticks.
There was no fighting, and there was no bloodshed. Except for the little blood that flowed from the wounds, everyone was not even contaminated on the floor.
If you think about it, if King Ying made a move on the prince at that time...... And the prince didn't toss the cup as a sign, so no one knows, no one knows......
Such a great opportunity, but the King of Ying did not do it.
Looking at King Ying's trip this time, he only brought one soldier, and that soldier didn't even enter the gate of Tingyu Pavilion, which means that he didn't bring it to guard against the prince.
Since King Ying entered the Listening Rain Pavilion, he must have discovered the prince's arrangement. He was going to meet with the prince alone, and he couldn't even tolerate a junior, so how could he tolerate these secret guards?
After knowing that the prince had planted people, he still waited for the prince to come, and did not summon his soldiers into the door at all. This is not a question of self-confidence or not, it stands to reason that King Ying should also be worried about his own safety.
But he didn't.
It turned out that King Ying was indeed the prince who came to the meeting alone.
It turned out that King Ying was determined to die here today.
So the choice he asked at the time was not a temptation, was it really letting the prince choose - to kill or not to kill?
Lin Suqing suddenly recalled the back of King Ying's turn on his horse and the soldiers leaving in the rain, and felt a burst of sadness and sadness in his heart.
It is clearly a burly and majestic figure, but in the rain curtain at that moment, it is so lonely and gloomy, like a withered dead tree, which makes the rain extremely cold and miserable.
In fact, King Ying...... It's painful, right?
......
Lin Suqing was stunned for a long time, and he didn't even remember how he returned to the East Palace.
After coming back, he changed his clothes under the service of the attendants, and sat alone for a long time, until the attendants specially reminded: "Your Highness, King Ping, Lord Liang, and Lord Chen are still waiting for you." ”
He had to come back to his senses and cheer up and go to the study.
Subsequently, he told King Ping, Liang Wenfu and Chen Shuhua what had happened.
He sighed with emotion: "King Ying's openness is so far, this kind of courage, this palace is ashamed." ”
"Big brother, you are too self-inflicted!" King Ping disagreed with him and said bluntly, "Even if he is alone, in that kind of situation where no one can rush up immediately, if there is an emergency, he can directly hold you hostage, and no one dares to help him." Whether he is alone or not, what does it matter? ”
Chen Shuhua was apprehensive when he heard this, and said worriedly: "Yes, since this is the case, Your Highness, you shouldn't continue to go up......! Bah, this mouth is all nonsense. ”
After Liang Wenfu carefully thought about the trial, he did not discuss with them whether King Ying really planned to go to the appointment alone.
He wondered, "King Ying's move is very abnormal. Is it really just to bet on His Highness's attitude? He doesn't have to take that risk......
Lin Suqing was weak-hearted, in fact, in addition to asking him to choose, King Ying also tested his identity, but this can't be said. He was afraid that Liang Wenfu would guess something, so he immediately diverted the topic.
"Maybe he wanted to deliberately lead the palace to take action, so he was trying to protect himself, so that there was an excuse to get rid of the palace. Lin Suqing told everyone about his initial guess.
"For example, if he just invited me, the eldest brother, to drink tea and chat as a younger brother, but my eldest brother was murderous to him, then he wanted to protect himself...... accidentally killed my big brother...... And so on and so forth, all of them are reasons, and there are so many. ”
Chen Shuhua thought about it, what he said was reasonable, and agreed: "Fortunately, His Highness did not fall for his tricks, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable......
But what was the real reason why King Ying asked him to listen to the Rain Pavilion, who could guess it with complete accuracy.
Even Lin Suqing, who was in it, couldn't fully guess King Ying's purpose.
He just vaguely felt that maybe in King Ying's opinion, there were some words that he might not be able to talk to others in his life, but he, Lin Suqing, the prince, was actually a "stranger", and talking and chatting with him, a "stranger", was actually a kind of relaxation, right? Maybe King Ying just wanted to find someone to relieve the anxiety in his heart.
Or, in the eyes of King Ying, whether this prince is himself or not, he is no longer his opponent. Just like the sentence he left down when he left - the position of the East Palace, he is bound to win.
"King Ying already has a plan in mind, but it's not easy to do it now. Chen Shuhua was worried, and repeatedly speculated about King Ying's attitude.
"So what? If you pull out his bamboo, won't you get it?" Lin Suqing's light words suddenly came out of nowhere, making them stunned.
Chen Shuhua asked, "Your Highness already has a good plan?"
Lin Suqing smiled modestly and said: "It's not a good strategy, at most it's a speculative means." ”
He was about to say something, but King Ping couldn't hold back, and hurriedly took two steps forward and said: "What plan do you want, according to me, get rid of it directly, and never suffer in the future." ”
"Why do you have to get rid of him?" Lin Suqing somehow couldn't hear such words, and there was a slight anger in his tone.
As soon as the words came out, he regretted a little, he shouldn't be angry with King Ping, but he couldn't wait for him to explain more, so King Ping hurriedly said, "I'm not thinking about you yet?"
King Ping is a few years younger than Ming Mingming, but his anxious expression has a sense of hatred for iron and steel.
"That's not what I mean to be a brother...... Lin Suqing really didn't mean to reprimand King Ping, for some reason, when he heard the words "Never regret", he was particularly repulsed in his heart.
It was probably because he himself was always regarded as a scourge to be removed, which made him very unhappy. Probably because he understands King Ying's many hardships, and many of his involuntary feelings. He knew that King Ying was not actually the sinister and cunning person they thought he was, and would do anything to win the throne.
At this time, Liang Wenfu, who had been silent, suddenly spoke: "The old minister thinks that what His Royal Highness King Ping said is extremely true. ”
"Even Lord Liang ...... Do you think King Ying should be removed?" Lin Suqing's tongue stiffened.
Seeing him hesitate, Liang Wen got up and solemnly admonished: "His Royal Highness the Prince, if King Ying does not die, his power will undoubtedly be opposed. I'm afraid that the more I go forward, the more powerful King Ying will become, and it will be difficult to get rid of him at that time. ”
Liang Wenfu immediately knelt down, and solemnly admonished: "Your Highness, this matter should not be delayed, only quickly and not broken." ”
"This king has a plan!" King Ping was about to offer a plan on how to eradicate King Ying's extreme henchmen, but before he could say it, Lin Suqing refused on the spot: "No!"
"Big brother!" King Ping was furious, "Why can't you figure it out!"
"Killing King Ying is not a foolproof solution, you listen to me. Lin Suqing was in a hurry, and he couldn't even take care of the shelves of the "main palace", grabbed King Ping's arm and wanted to pull him to the table and everyone sat together, King Ping was angry and refused, he dragged it a few more times, and King Ping reluctantly sat down with him.
Lin Suqing looked at everyone and continued: "Most of King Ying's generals are from humble backgrounds, either they are appreciated by King Ying when they are in trouble, or they are reused after being captured by the previous dynasty. ”
"Over the years, they have followed King Ying's conquest and killing, and dozens of hearts have long been twisted into a rope. If we plan to kill King Ying, how will we deal with his subordinates?"
Lin Suqing looked at everyone with a solemn face, and then said, "Keep them, they are bound to do everything possible to avenge King Ying." Eradicating them all? Then it will be a loss for the country and the world. ”
Liang Wenfu and Chen Shuhua held their beards and pondered, Lin Suqing stared at King Ping, who was still angry, and said: "We still need these soldiers who are powerful outside the territory, and we will still need these soldiers to expand their territory in the future." ”
How could King Ping not understand the truth of these trade-offs, but those are all distant things, and the things in front of him are the top priority.
He felt powerless in his heart, and said uneasily: "Big brother, you should focus on the present, let me ask you, if King Ying is not removed, how should you settle down?"
Liang Wenfu also looked worried, and said crampedly: "The new khan of the Mobei Turks, who has only been close to our dynasty for a year and a half, has frequently disturbed the interior, plundered the people and population, and robbed the food for relief...... I'm afraid ......"
said that it was discussed, Liang Wenfu immediately stood up, bowed and held his hands, and said solemnly: "Your Highness, don't take care of one or the other, the kindness of a woman." ”
Chen Shuhua got up and held his hand to second: "Your Highness, if King Ying is not removed, it will be difficult to protect the position of the East Palace." ”
King Ping is not as impulsive as Fang Cai, probably because of many times of persuasion to no avail, so he is disappointed in this prince brother to the extreme, he is only a little depressed now, holding his head and playing with the empty teacup, sighing weakly: "Not only lose the position of the East Palace, if King Ying wins the unification, you and I are afraid that no one will survive." ”
Lin Suqing saw that everyone was worried because he was unwilling to eradicate King Ying, and King Ping knew that he couldn't persuade him, but he just gave up, and he didn't care about him angrily, let alone turn against him.
He was relieved that everyone was aware of the imminent fear for their lives, but they still wanted to be with him.
And King Ping, who is also his biological brother, showed his sincerity at this moment, which also made him deeply feel the bond from family affection. King Ping is also thinking about his safety and future.
If King Ping and the crown prince still have such a brotherly relationship, why shouldn't King Ying? King Ying has the difficulties of King Ying.
Thinking like this, Lin Suqing was determined in his heart, and he couldn't let this power struggle turn into a cruel and tragic fratricide.
He hooked the corners of his mouth and smiled, "You forgot, what I said earlier? You don't have to get rid of him to solve the problem." ”
Immediately, he beckoned Liang Wenfu and Chen Shuhua to sit down as well, and motioned for them to surround him.
When the four of them almost met head-to-head, Lin Suqing said cautiously: "I plan to do this......
After a low whisper, King Ping was surprised and delighted when he heard it: "Really?"
"I'm not done yet, why are you in a hurry? ”
When King Ping heard this, he immediately pricked up his ears and leaned in to listen, and then said in astonishment: "Big brother, do you really want to do this?"
Lin Suqing nodded firmly and acquiesced, Liang Wenfu repeatedly pondered the strategy proposed by Lin Suqing, and was worried: "Good is good, feasible is feasible, afraid of it...... King Ying, he won't agree......"
He didn't dare not agree. Lin Suqing was confident and said firmly: "If he dares not agree, his father will not be able to explain it." ”
In the last Feng Ting case, although the emperor did not study or sentence deeply, he already had a big knot in his heart.
Heart knots have always been easy to knot and difficult to solve, and King Ying does not dare to regenerate what is wrong for the time being.
He carefully pondered this strategy, and everyone knew it after hearing it, and it was indeed a feasible and good strategy. Now that I want to weaken King Ying's military power and strength, this is the only way to do it.
King Ping finally compromised, but he complained a little: "Since the eldest brother has an expedient measure, he didn't say it earlier, which will cause us to make a fuss in vain." ”
