Chapter 37: The Transformation of the Eldest Son
During this period of Gongzixin, because the power of the "benevolent party" of Lin Yuren, the eldest son of the central government, was not as strong as before, Qin Bo was also saddened by his old thoughts, and began to assist the three ministers in handling political affairs.
In the house of the eldest son, Lin Yuren, Lin Yuren is completely idle, and the power in the court is no longer comparable to the second child, and those dispensable things are put away, so as not to look at the blockage.
Staff member Zhao Rang entered the eldest son's study and found that the latter was drinking, looking frustrated and hesitant.
Zhao Rang couldn't help frowning, but he still stepped forward and said to Lin Yuren: "Eldest son, that one is here......
The ......
Lin Yuren is a spirit, and who else can be so vaguely called in the eldest son's mansion is naturally his biggest reliance.
The eldest son put away the wine jug on the table, and then said, "Nantang will see you, it's warm there." ”
Zhao Rang responded.
The south hall of the eldest son's mansion has already lit up the stove, driving away the dampness and cold in this winter.
In the south hall, a figure wrapped in a wool cloak saw Lin Yuren coming, but he didn't get up, but Lin Yuren walked to his side and asked, "Why did you come today, you can not reach your knees under this heavy snow." ”
The man said in the light of the fire: "The gray bird has already talked about the affairs of the court, this matter is so important, why didn't Elder Brother Wang say it?" ”
Lin Yuyan's expression was stunned and said: "Yuxing, you don't know about this matter if you are not there, the monarch's father strictly forbids rumors about this matter, and it is useless for me to see this matter, so I didn't tell you." ”
"Ahem, cough ......" I don't know if I am infected with the wind cold, or if I face this eldest brother Wang's words, I am angry, and the fifth son of the winning son, Lin Yuxing, coughed a few times.
The eldest son supported him, then patted his back and asked, "Fifth brother, are you okay?" ”
Lin Yuxing stopped coughing, waved his hand and said, "It's okay." ”
Lin Yuren also said: "Fifth brother, it's not that Brother Wang doesn't know what to do, you see the second brother, the border army has the third brother to help him, and now he has a sixth brother, and I have you by my side, but you ...... Alas! ”
Listening to Lin Yuren's sigh, Lin Yuxing also sighed faintly: "Brother Wang, the fifth brother is suffering from an old illness, so he can only give you advice here......
Lin Yuren interrupted him and said, "Fifth brother, I don't mean to blame you, but to explain my situation to you, and I didn't expect the second brother to plot to harm me many times......"
Lin Yu said: "Elder Brother Wang, cough cough...... Cough...... cough cough, Gongzi's belief in good strategy is one thing, but you are attacking the other's strengths with your own shortcomings, and now Gongzixin seems to be unrivaled in the court for a while, but in fact, it is not difficult to pull him down! ”
Hearing this, the eldest son got up and asked, "The fifth brother taught me." ”
Lin Yuxing didn't continue, but looked at Lin Yuren and said: "The difficult thing is how to hold up to you, eldest brother Wang, in the past, you mistakenly believed Bao Yu, Gu Zhen and others, and you were eager for quick success, so you fell for Gongzi's letter." ”
When Lin Yuren heard this, he thought about it carefully, it was indeed the case, what he discussed with Gu Zhen and others every day was how to suppress the limelight of the second son's letter.
Therefore, after half a ring, the eldest son admitted his mistake to Lin Yuxing and said: "Fifth brother, it is Brother Wang who is wrong!" ”
Seeing Elder Brother Wang admit his mistake, Lin Yuxing also nodded and admonished: "Elder Brother Wang should focus on self-cultivation, you are the eldest son, as long as you do not lose your virtue, the position will not fall into the hands of others, and the court will fight, but the fight is not for the power scheme, but for the hearts of the people, but for the country, this Elder Brother Wang did not do it, and today's Gongzixin has not done it, but Gongzixin has the old thing of burning the grain and grass camp of the Jinhan clan in Zhishan." ”
"Ahem...... Cough...... cough cough cough ......"
In the middle of his words, Lin Yuxing coughed a few more times.
"Seeking profit and profit is the way after all, seeking the country is the road, eldest brother Wang, as long as you are dedicated to the country, the people can see it, the courtiers can see it, and the monarch's father will also see it.
I have to say that although Lin Yuren is not far away, he is not a fool after all, what the fifth brother said is so clear, what he doesn't understand, and suddenly it is clear.
"Fifth brother, I understand what you mean." Lin Yuren said to Lin Yuxing like this, his eyes were sincere and not perfunctory.
Lin Yuxing nodded, this time I can let Elder Brother Wang understand this, it is not a loss,
"Brother Wang, since you understand, let's talk about what you are afraid of today."
Lin Yuren thought for a while and said: "The second brother is as you said, the city government is very deep, because of the credit of forcing the Jin Han clan to retreat, the city defense battalion of the Wangcheng Guards has been controlled, and secondly, in the current border army, the third child has already mastered the real power of the border army, and the sixth child has also come up with something to go to Lin Yuan, the two of them are mostly close to the second child, and those people in the court, the courtiers who were neutral in the past have also fallen to the second ......"
Seeing that Elder Brother Wang finished speaking, Lin Yuxing also asked rhetorically, "Is that the case?" ”
"Fifth brother is laughing, isn't that enough?!"
Lin Yuxing explained Lin Yuren's confusion one by one: "Can the four kings of the court and the doctor have the letter of the son?" ”
Lin Yuren shook his head: "This is not ......"
"In this case, the scholar is the old system, these are just foils in the court, it is the compromise of the monarch's father to the old clan, Gongzixin is just a withered leaf in the bush, what is the fear of Elder Brother Wang, after all, the court is the Lin family, Elder Brother Wang, the old clan is still facing you, after all, you are the eldest son, and Gongzi Xin protects the sixth child, although it is done hard, but it has been released by the gray sparrow to spread the rumors, offending many old clans, these old clans will not give charcoal to Brother Wang, but Brother Wang has done his own thing, They don't necessarily have the icing on the cake......"
"Say so......" For a while, Lin Yuren couldn't digest so much news, and after thinking about it, he found that the fifth brother had completely said the point: "In this way, Gongzixin's court supporters are indeed scabies, and they are not a problem. ”
"Since it is scabies, it naturally needs to be treated, but these characters who are grass on the wall should not be considered for now."
The fire had already made Nantang hot, and Lin Yuxing's complexion was also a little ruddy, and he continued to Lin Yuren: "Let's talk about the third and sixth children, Gongziyuan is stationed in the north to protect the family and defend the country, just this performance, the eldest brother of the emperor should abandon his prejudices and treat the three royal brothers well, the three royal brothers are loyal and righteous generals, and the villains such as Gongzixin are comparable." ”
"Be kind to the third child?!" Lin Yuren thought about it and felt that there was something wrong with this matter.
Seeing Elder Brother Wang's reluctant look, Lin Yuxing also changed his way of speaking and said: "It's not that Elder Brother Wang wants to put down his body and deliberately win over the Third Elder Brother, this is not beautiful, now the border army is short of food, and the troops of the Third Elder Brother are no exception, it is better for the Third Elder Brother to send a batch of grain over, even if it is not much, it can make the Third Elder Brother unable to avoid this favor, and at the same time, it can also make a gap between Gongzixin and the Third Elder Brother......
"Good!" Lin Yuren's eyes lit up and said, "This plan is feasible!" ”
"As for the sixth child, now he has restrained the military power of Thorn Yang, but after all, he is not deep in the world, and the old general Ju Mao is now protecting him, but the entire old clan has already regarded him as an enemy, because of his relationship, Gongzixin will cause the dissatisfaction of the old clan, this is the advantage of Elder Brother Wang, what is Elder Brother Wang afraid of?!"
"That's true." Lin Yuren nodded, agreeing with this point of view.
"As for the city defense camp, if Elder Brother Wang wants to pull down Gongzixin, the starting point is in this city defense camp, after this plan, Gongzixin's power to control the city defense camp and the prestige of the court will be gone......"
"Fifth brother, please speak!" Lin Yuren urged.
So Lin Yuxing said a few obscure words in Lin Yuren's ear, and sure enough, after listening to Lin Yuxing's plan, Lin Yuren was also overjoyed.
"In this case, the second child will definitely give up!"
Hearing this, Lin Yuxing nodded.
The eldest son, Lin Yuren, turned his head and asked: "This matter is handled by the fifth brother's gray sparrow, and I don't need to interfere, and the court has no power for me to deal with, how can I do things." ”
Lin Yuxing took out a bamboo slip from his robe and said: "Elder Brother Wang must cultivate one's self-cultivation, this is the Confucian "Analects", and Elder Brother Wang has been reading it day and night. ”
Lin Yuren took the bamboo slip, and then asked: "If there is one, there must be two, what is two?" ”
"The gray sparrow got the news, there are many eyeliners in the eldest son's mansion, and they should be removed, but don't kill them all, just send them away."
"There is actually the second person in my house?!" The words came out of the mouth of the fifth brother, and he still knew about the fifth brother's gray sparrow.
Lin Yuxing nodded: "Except for the staff and the sect guards, the rest of the elder brother Wang can be dismissed, you might as well beat it or give a little favor, and then dismiss." ”
"Good!" Lin Yuren agreed.
"The third thing is the most important."
"Fifth brother, just say it."
"Now what Elder Brother Wang can fully believe in is the queen's mother family, except for the Zongwei in the mansion!"
"Mother's uncle, Le Chengjun's family?!"
Lin Yuxing nodded and said: "Elder Brother Wang may wish to thank Le Chengjun for his support, in exchange for Le Chengjun's support, Elder Brother Wang, it won't be long before the southern border is about to start a beacon fire, and the treasury is short of food, so the monarch's father issued a persuasion order early this year, Brother Wang might as well ask the monarch's father to cure Le Cheng, Brother Wang is interested, plus Le Chengjun's support, there must be a share of Brother Wang's credit for raising military rations, and Brother Wang will rely on this merit to take the control of Wanchengcang, as long as there is no chaos, even if you don't go to the battlefield, the military exploits of the southern border army will have Brother Wang's share, when the time comes, In contrast, Gongzi Xin lost power, and he will inevitably be unable to compete with Brother Wang for the throne! ”
"Good!" Lin Yuren said excitedly, and then looked at Lin Yuxing and said: "Fifth brother, if I ascend to the throne, you will be the minister of state, Shiqing Shilu, and you will never change!" ”
Lin Yuxing shook his head and said: "Brother Wang, you should be virtuous in governing the country, the smoke of Great Qin is rising again, please be cautious with Brother Wang, and you must not rush for quick success!" ”
"You must remember the words of the fifth brother!"
