Chapter Ninety-Seven: The Prime Minister's Division of Labor
Ling Kun and Zhao Mingyue's brothers and sisters discussed for a long time, but they didn't think of a feasible solution. The opponent's hole cards are clear, but the cards are too big, and you can't win.
Everyone was at a loss, lying on the table and no one spoke.
Zhao Mingyue looked at Ling Kun and said, "You usually have a lot of ghost ideas, think of a way." β
Ling Kun shook his head and said, "The gap in strength is too far, I really can't think of a good way, otherwise this is the case, I will go to the Prime Minister's Mansion to meet Master Lu and discuss it with him." β
"Yes, I should communicate with him, or I'll go myself." Zhao Heng said.
Zhao Mingyue shook her head and said, "No, they must be watching you, if you go to see Lu Duan, it will be easy to startle the snake." β
Zhao Heng nodded, handed the wat to Ling Kun and said, "Lord Ling, then it's all up to you." β
Ling Kun nodded and got up to say goodbye. Zhao Mingyue was not at ease, so she also came out with him.
The two came to the Prime Minister's Mansion, and it was estimated that Lu Duan had not come back yet, so they sat down at a nearby restaurant and ordered a few dishes, which could be regarded as having dinner by the way.
Zhao Mingyue held the teacup and frowned: "You said that Lu Duan wouldn't be from the queen mother's side, right?" Otherwise, how could they keep him in Zhongshu Province? β
Ling Kun thought for a while and said, "No, the action of killing two prime ministers at one time is too big, they don't dare, so they can only leave Master Lu." After all, Lord Lu gives people the impression of being an old-eyed and dizzy old fool. β
Zhao Mingyue nodded and said: "I hope so, my father once said that Lu Duan is not confused about small things and big things, I hope he will not be confused this time." β
At this time, Lu Duan's eight sedan chairs entered the mansion. Ling Kun said to Zhao Mingyue: "You just wait for me here, I'll go in and have a look." β
Zhao Mingyue nodded, wanting to say a few words, but she didn't know how to say it, in this matter, she had completely become a weak woman.
Ling Kun came to the Lu Mansion and reported his name, and after the family reported it, he immediately invited him into the living room.
Lu Duan didn't even bother to change his court clothes and rushed over to meet the guests, this is the most popular young talent in the court, and no one in the court dares to slack off.
After the two greeted each other, they sat down. Lu Duan smiled and said: "Lord Ling, this is the first time to visit the Humble House, Lu is very honored, not long ago, several brothers entrusted me to protect the media, to marry my daughter to you, I have not bothered to talk about this, if we have time today, let's study this matter?" β
"Haha, the Prime Minister is laughing, Ling Kun is here, I have something important to report to my lord."
"Oh, what is Lord Ling's business?" Lu Duan stared at Ling Kun with two godless eyes, and he didn't know if he could see it.
Ling Kun saw that there was no one else in the hall, so he handed the wat to Lu Duan and said, "My lord, this is what the prince asked me to give back to you." β
Lu Duan took it and looked at it in front of him for a long time, before he recognized that it was his thing, shook his head and smiled: "Hey, the old eyes are dizzy, useless, I really envy you young people." β
"After the prince received the adult's message, he entered the palace several times, but he couldn't enter the Long Live Palace, I don't know what the adult means, so he sent me to ask."
Lu Duan sighed again and said: "Today, I went to visit the emperor in the Long Live Palace, the emperor has been in a coma, and I estimate that my emperor has gradually arrived, that is, it will be a matter of the next two days." But how could the prince not be around at such a critical moment, it was easy for something to happen. β
Ling Kun frowned and said, "My lord, do you think something will happen?" β
Lu Duan shook his head and said: "I don't know, but this situation is very abnormal now, this is the best environment for conspiracy to grow, and I have to guard against it." β
Ling Kun looked at Lu Duan, and was basically sure that Lu Duan was not from the queen's side for the time being, so he said: "My lord, you guessed right, the queen attempted a coup d'Γ©tat and changed the eldest prince. β
"What?" Lu Duan stood up suddenly. There seemed to be a gleam in his cloudy eyes: "How do you know? β
"This is the words brought out by the eldest prince, he has been placed under house arrest by the queen, and he is probably waiting for the yellow robe to be added."
"Sure enough, sure enough." Lu Duan muttered and sat back in his chair.
"Is there a way to crack it?" Ling Kun asked.
Lu Duan pondered: "It's not easy to do, if Kou Zhun is still here, this matter will be easy to do, but it's a pity that they let them take the first step." Now there are Wang Jien, Li Jilong, Li Changling, and many more that we don't know on the Queen Mother's side, and the prince's side is just you, me, the old and the young, and they can't get into the eyes of others. β
"Prime Minister, is the prince going to sit still like this, if this is the case, it is not only the prince who is in danger, but the entire Great Song Dynasty may be in danger."
Lu Duan waved his hand and said: "If you don't say this, I know that we can't sit still, the prince can't sit still, and the Great Song Dynasty can't sit still." β
Ling Kun's eyes lit up and asked, "Please make it clear." β
"Win more with less, win with weak, no matter if you win or lose, you have to fight, I will deal with Wang Jien and Li Changling."
Ling Kun exclaimed: "My lord, these two people represent all the forces of the inner palace and the outer ministers, and it is not easy to deal with." β
"It's not so mysterious, to put it bluntly, it's two people, as long as they control these two people, their power will completely collapse."
"Can I do something about it?" Ling Kun asked.
"Your task is more difficult than mine, you are responsible for supporting your immediate boss, the palace marshal Li Jilong, he is the key person, as long as he does not lead troops into the palace, things have room for maneuver."
Ling Kun listened to the drum in his heart, this matter is too difficult, the palace marshal has a heavy army in his hands, and he is just a nominal deputy marshal, except for gambling, he has no sense of existence in the front of the palace, how can he support Li Jilong?
But can he refuse? No. Lu Duan carried two important people by himself and left one for him, how could he refuse? So he hugged his fists and said, "Don't worry, Lord Lu, Ling Kun promises to complete the task." β
Lu Duan nodded and said, "Hurry up, it's just a matter of one or two days." β
Ling Kun agreed and said goodbye to Lu Duan.
Out of the Lu Mansion, Zhao Mingyue had already greeted him and asked, "How is it?" β
Ling Kun told him about the division of labor with Lu Duan, and Zhao Mingyue was overjoyed: "Great, as long as Lu Duan supports us, we have hope." β
Ling Kun shook his head and said, "The key is what to do on our side?" How can you hold up the palace marshal? β
"You have to think of a way, you have the most ghost ideas." Zhao Mingyue grabbed Ling Kun's arm and said coquettishly.
It was the first time for Ling Kun to see Zhao Mingyue being coquettish to herself, and she suddenly felt at a loss, her breathing was unsteady, her heart rhythm was irregular, and she looked at her pretty face slightly raised in a daze.
Zhao Mingyue's face was hot, and she said angrily: "What are you doing with me?" β
"Mingyue, you're so good-looking."
Zhao Mingyue was embarrassed, pushed him away and said, "When is it, still playing hooligan?" β
Ling Kun touched his nose and said, "You mean, when can I play hooligan?" β
"You...... Hmph, I won't tell you. Zhao Mingyue pretended to be angry and turned her head and ran ahead.
