Chapter 36: Clues

These people who are close to the prince are all people with considerable status and many achievements. It can be seen from this that what he possessed was a very virtuous prince who won the hearts of the people.

But one is happy, and the other is worried. However, at this time, the prince is no longer the prince himself, but his impostor Lin Suqing.

Lin Suqing was very worried, afraid that he would not be able to compete with the king of Ying, and the prince's previous achievements would be wasted. But he was a little sure, because he thought that in addition to being relatively weak in terms of force, his brain power was actually quite good, and the battle for power and magic should not be too difficult. In short, quite conflicted.

Zhang Zhanshi said curiously: "I don't know why His Royal Highness the Crown Prince suddenly summoned his ministers and others to come?"

Liang Wenfu coughed twice intentionally or unintentionally.

Zhang Zhanshi hurriedly cared: "Lord Liang, what's uncomfortable?"

It's the equivalent of a code. So, Lin Suqing opened the curtain from the inner room and walked out with a smile, he subconsciously wanted to politely apologize for being late, but after thinking about it, now in this kind of place where the identity is clearly classified, he is the prince, and it is really against his identity to apologize.

He just said politely: "Everyone is here?"

Everyone clasped their hands together and bowed to the occasional salute: "Greetings to His Royal Highness the Prince." ”

Lin Suqing waved his hand to exempt them: "No courtesy, sit down." ”

Although it is said to be seated, there is no chair, but a few square tumbs are laid on the felt carpet in front of the Luohan couch, only he sits on the couch, and the rest of the people are sitting on the ground. It's very similar to the ancient times of his original world, and it's all like this.

Lin Suqing cleared his throat and took care of the matter: "I summoned you this time, I think you must have some eyebrows in your hearts and some ideas. ”

He glanced at the faces of the people for a week, and they were all solemn.

"You've all heard about King Ying's poisoning. "Even if everyone knows it, only he doesn't know it, but he can't panic. You have to pretend to be clear, after all, the momentum must be realistic, and you can't show your feet.

In any case, he has lived for more than 20 years and has entered the society for many years. The traps and deception villains encountered on the road of life are not as many as a division and a regiment, at least they can make up a company.

After suffering so many losses, why can't you eat a trench to grow wise, and sum up a few experiences? In terms of playing tricks, it is easier than playing with demons and monsters, right?

As soon as everyone heard that the prince was asking him this question, they immediately discussed the matter so that they could come up with a strategy as soon as possible.

Lin Suqing slowed down the staff members who were hotly discussed: "Don't panic, wait a while." ”

Almost as soon as he finished speaking, an attendant ran outside the door, stood respectfully at the door, and bowed down to ask: "Your Highness, the holy decree has arrived." ”

Everyone looked at Lin Suqing in unison.

Predictably, he expected that the emperor would issue a holy decree, and the content of that decree was the most important thing.

He got up and motioned for everyone to wait, and then rushed to the antechamber of the main hall alone with the little servant.

From afar, I saw an old eunuch standing there with his head held high. The old eunuch only held a whisk in his hand, and it was empty other than that.

There is not even a holy decree, and it seems that if this father-in-law wants to pass on the oracle, it is not too important.

The nervousness in Lin Suqing's heart relaxed a little, and said with a smile: "Father-in-law Lao has been waiting for a long time." ”

The old prince squinted, just held his hand and played the daily courtesy, and replied with a smile: "The prince is polite." ”

He now has a will, that is, he represents the majesty of the emperor, and he does not have to bow to anyone.

Lin Suqing lifted his robe, knelt down, spread his hands above his head, and greeted solemnly: "Welcome to the holy decree." ”

Fortunately, when I was young, I had no choice but to accompany my mother to watch some ancient idol dramas, and he was able to learn these styles of the royal heirs to some extent.

The old eunuch was full of holy will, and he was very pretending to be a tiger, and said, "Your Majesty has issued an imperial decree. ”

Then he cleared his throat and repeated loudly: "King Ying has never been able to drink, and now the prince is not allowed to drink with King Ying." Chin this. ”

"The sons of the ministers decreed, long live my emperor, long live, long live. After Lin Suqing shouted the order, he picked up his robe and stood up.

It turned out that he just ordered that they could no longer drink together, and they didn't say a word about King Ying's poisoning, but just treated it as if they couldn't drink.

I have to say that the emperor's order was very wise.

No one favors or punishes anyone, but everyone knows how much Yingwang actually drinks. The Emperor knew that such an edict was going to be issued, and it seemed that the purpose of the edict was only to show that he knew the truth, but he wanted to settle the matter with them.

After promulgating the emperor's edict, the old eunuch did not have the arrogant meaning of Fang Cai, but smiled flatteringly: "Your Majesty's will, the old slave has been delivered, and the old slave will go back to the palace to restore His Majesty's life." ”

Lin Suqing's eyes gestured to the attendant with him, and the attendant hurriedly took out a gold ingot and handed it to the old eunuch with both hands.

"By the way, father-in-law, how is King Ying's condition?"

Lin Suqing asked this sentence very tactfully, but the reason why the old eunuch can serve the emperor all the year round and can directly convey the oracle for the emperor must have his superiority, he just heard the meaning of Lin Suqing's question.

The old slave just went to pass on the same edict, and when he was done, he retired. ”

The old eunuch's answer was very clever, and he only said that he was going to pass on the edict, but he did not describe the king of Ying who received the edict. But in fact, he had already answered the answer that Lin Suqing wanted to ask.

If you don't mention it, there is nothing unusual. It may be further understood that there are no signs of poisoning.

The old eunuch glanced at the silver, looked left and right, then covered his sleeve, and quickly swept the silver into the sleeve. Then he smiled and said, "The old slave retired." His Highness stayed. ”

Lin Suqing smiled calmly, and said verbally: "Father-in-law go slowly." ”

Mortals are still relatively easy to deal with, and what can be solved with money is not a problem. Yokai are more difficult, and youkai are usually fatal.

I don't know what the relationship between the previous prince himself and this father-in-law was. However, in his opinion at the moment, the eunuch who can directly recite the oracle for the emperor may be able to send him a letter in advance at any time, and maybe that letter will be the outlet for him to prepare countermeasures. This relationship still needs to be touched.

Seeing the old eunuch leave the East Palace, he turned back to the study and told the emperor's edict to the doormen.

Without him asking, everyone spontaneously began to analyze.

"From this point of view, the 'poison' in King Ying's is not as serious as it was reported. ”

"The news was reported by the Yingwang Mansion, what is going on in their own mansion, who can know the truth?

"Your Majesty may have seen early on that this is King Ying's deliberate attack......"

"If there really is a three-long and two-short, how can Your Majesty deal with it so lightly, just forbidding His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and King Ying to drink again. ”

They were all right.

However, if King Ying is really poisoned in the prince's mansion, and it is really poisoned by the prince, then this matter is actually a bit ridiculous.

If this is the case, no matter how stupid it is. On the merits of the matter, the matter itself is very unconscionable.

Since he had already decided to poison himself at this time, why didn't he just poison him, and still keep King Ying to send someone to complain to the emperor? Could it be that he could buy counterfeit and shoddy counterfeit medicines?

Even if the prince is really stupid to such an extent, then Liang Wenfu and they will not sit idly by. Therefore, it is impossible for the prince to do such a stupid thing.

It can be seen from this that there are only two possibilities for the truth of this matter, one is a play written and acted by King Ying, and the other is that the poisoner is someone else.

He had no way of knowing what was going on at the banquet. Assuming that King Ying is talking to himself, then in his opinion, the hand that King Ying played is actually just a small clever and small means, and does not have great wisdom, after all, this is a bad move to hurt the enemy by one thousand and damage eight hundred.

If King Ying wrote and acted by himself, he just wanted to make the contradictions with the prince public, and wanted to use the prince's poisoning to lead people to think that the prince was jealous of his talent, unfriendly to him, and even hostile.

However, making such a drama, in the heart of the emperor's old father, he would not think about it so simply. After all, he is a brother, and King Ying framed his own brother to poison himself, which is not decent at all.

Even if it wasn't planted by King Ying, someone really poisoned it, and the three brothers at the private banquet were either the prince or the king of Ping, in the final analysis, it was still a painful matter of fratricide. Presumably, the most complicated mood at the moment should be the emperor.

Liang Wenfu pondered: "This matter may not be a bad thing. At least His Majesty has some opinions about King Ying. ”

"Since His Majesty knew that King Ying did it on purpose, he only issued an edict prohibiting alcohol. Obviously, His Majesty deliberately tried to cover up this matter. ”

It is not to punish anyone, nor to clarify for anyone.

"My father is struggling between the palace and King Ying. Lin Suqing said with emotion, "As the crown prince, this palace was wronged by his own brother's design, even if my father wants to clarify for this palace, but I have to worry about King Ying's military power." Didn't the border pass still want him to go to war? ”

Lin Suqing's sudden remarks surprised everyone. Lin Suqing didn't know what they were surprised about, maybe it was because the former prince had not spoken so generously?

Only the rough General Wu accosted: "Perhaps in the eyes of Your Majesty, this is just a trivial matter of brotherly discord." ”

Lin Suqing said intuitively: "No, maybe my father has already seen that King Ying has the intention of seizing the heir, so he will be in a dilemma." ”

Everyone was stunned, but Liang Wenfu remained unmoved, and an imperceptible light flashed in the eyes of this "old fox", as if he had some other conjecture or suspicion in his heart. Lin Suqing caught a glimpse, but couldn't see what he was thinking.

I only heard him say solemnly: "Your Highness is right. King Ying has thousands of brave generals in his hands, and he can fight well and perform miraculous feats. Compared with His Royal Highness the Prince, who is in charge of the government, the people support King Ying even more. It is strange to say that he does not have the heart to win the heir. ”

Chen Shuhua said vaguely: "After all...... The reason why His Majesty is His Majesty today has a lot to do with the advice of King Ying at the beginning. ”

Lin Suqing was shocked, and couldn't help but subconsciously think - it turns out that this throne is now from King Ying's advice? Could it be that the emperor took whose position?

King Ying is so strong......
