Chapter 138 Drawing a Clear Line (Today's Fourth Watch is over, and the rest is gone)

Lin Shangshu took the manuscript and flipped through it, but was not as startled as Lin Fu thought, but groaned thoughtfully. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

After flipping through the two, he already understood what Lin Fu's idea was, which was to use the collection of love letters to create public opinion, put pressure on the palace, and set off a wave before the palace's final intention to marry came down.

It's just that this kind of means, will it arouse His Majesty's disgust? After all, no emperor would like his courtiers to stir up the people to satisfy their own selfish desires.

After lowering his head and thinking for a while, Lin Shangshu felt that this matter had a lot of implications, and he needed to be cautious, "I heard that this matter was opened by the Queen Mother, and the Queen Mother is also very supportive, considering your plans for your future career, I don't recommend that you react so violently." You can think a little bit more before you decide, right? ā€

"There is no need to do things so decisively so early, after all, this matter is not just an ordinary marriage, it also involves all aspects, even the balance of power between the princes. In the end, His Majesty did not make a decision in the end. It can even be said that His Majesty is not very supportive. ā€

When Lin Shangshu said this, he slowed down his speech and narrowed his eyes, as if he was thinking about some very complicated issues, "For Your Majesty, this matter is not just as simple as finding a colt for his daughter, he has been playing with the art of checks and balances all these years, and now that the Seventh Prince has stabbed such a big Lou Zi, you are so close to the crown prince." ā€

"In my opinion, the reason why Your Majesty is so hesitant is because Your Majesty feels that your identity is too delicate, and the marriage is too heavy on the side of the three princes, but if you are allowed to do so, I feel that you are too close to the crown prince."

Lin Fu, as a newcomer who had just come into contact with politics, carefully thought about and figured out what his uncle said, he didn't expect that there were so many twists and turns behind this matter.

After listening to what his uncle said, Lin Fu also felt that what he had thought before was too simple. How could His Majesty tolerate himself who had so much help in the court, and came together with the prince so easily?

When one side is weak, it is necessary to help the weak side to achieve a rough balance of strength, to ensure that the strength of each prince involved in the competition for the position of the prince is equal, in this case, let them compete with each other, in order to really choose the most suitable one for the position of the emperor.

From this point of view, the offensive and defensive alliance he thought of in the East Palace seemed to be a little self-conscious and ill-considered.

Lin Shangshu's words continued, "Although you have just come to the capital not long ago, only a month or two, your status in the court is not very high, just a seven-rank Hanlin. But your achievements in the field have earned you a great reputation. ā€

"In addition, people of some status know that today's reform proposals were put forward by you, and there will definitely be a place for you in the Metropolitan Procuratorate in the future. You lived in the East Palace for a few days at that time, and Fu Fengxue was also guarding the East Palace, in my opinion, Your Majesty felt that the power of the prince was too great. ā€

Speaking of this matter, Lin Fu was also very aggrieved, he didn't plan to do anything in the past two months when he came to the capital, but he was inexplicably regarded as a thorn in the side of the two princes.

When he first arrived in the capital, he agreed with his uncle that he would not participate in the standing line between the princes. But a prince wanted to intercept him, interrogate him in the lobby of the Criminal Department, and beat him into a trick; The other is even more vicious, and he is going to assassinate himself in the street in broad daylight!!

He had no choice at all, or rather, he didn't have any choice at all. This is clearly the other two princes, who have excluded themselves.

Otherwise, with Lin Fu's character, how could it be possible to put the carriages and horses in line so early!

This is clearly the other two princes, who have already put themselves in the position of the enemy, and they have not given themselves a chance to stand in line at all.

But no matter what, Lin Fu already has his own bias, and his friendship with the prince is already known to everyone. Even if I understand this now, it seems that it is already too late.

Shang Shu looked at his nephew's hesitant expression, and knew in his heart that he didn't know what to do. After thinking about it for a while, I felt that the prince's behavior of being the main force in the court that day to promote this marriage was really wonderful.

I'm afraid the prince thinks it's time to give Lin Fu a chance to distance himself from it.

Anyway, at this moment, the Seventh Prince and Lin Fu are already mortal enemies, and if this marriage is said to be successful, Lin Fu's fierce resistance, just like the manuscript he is holding in his hand now, will definitely sweep away the face of the queen and the queen mother, and make the two nobles unhappy in their hearts.

Lin Shangshu pursed his lips tightly and let out a deep breath, there had been few battles before. But now that he has fought indirectly, Lin Ang feels that somehow, the prince's behavior always makes people's hearts chill, and this person always seems to be able to anticipate a few steps ahead.

Feeling like this, there was always a vague doubt in Lin Shangshu's heart that there was a suspicion that the ambush and murder case that day had anything to do with the prince.

"Think about it carefully, the prince and the little prince really didn't know when they went out that day, and they just made such a big stride?"

"Exactly, but I disagree with you, uncle." Lin Fu knew what his uncle was worried about, and he had also thought about that possibility, "This is the case, when the thief made his move, the prince and I were only ten steps away, if it wasn't for my brother blocking a few arrows for him by his side, he would definitely die if he was poisoned by this arrow." ā€

"You're on the scene, and you have more say in this matter, but my concerns are not unreasonable." What Lin Ang remembered in his heart was the gentle knife that looked at the prince when the military department came out for Lin Fu that day.

"The crown prince is not calculated by him, and he really doesn't know his city." , although Lin Ang has heard a lot about the prince's wrist over the years, he was still frightened by the smile that made people feel like a spring breeze. It wasn't until his nephew had the shadow of the prince behind the things he had encountered three times in the past few days that Lin Ang felt a slight chill behind him.

It's not because of his calculations, but because of his hard work that doesn't even cost his own life. Although Lin Ang had no evidence, he had already decided in his heart that even if the prince was not involved, he must have known.

"If I want to say anything, I would better take this opportunity to draw a line with him." , Lin Ang thought about the prince's intentions, and always felt that he seemed to even count this point in it, which was deliberately taking the lead in talking about this marriage, so as to give the Lin family a reasonable reason to alienate him.

If you think about it, it's true, since the Seventh Prince has almost completely lost his competitiveness, and withdrawing from this marriage will make the Queen Mother look bad, there is really no need for the prince to be too close to Lin Fu.

Anyway, Lin Fu will do his best to do what he wants to see, why is he so anxious to get closer to the relationship and arouse His Majesty's suspicion?

Lin Ang frowned slightly, pondered for a while, looked at the manuscript in his hand, and always felt that Lin Fu's action was in the prince's plan, and he was slightly worried about whether he would be used by the prince, but he refused to admit this marriage no matter what. If he is asked to press the manuscript and not send it, it is not likely.

After pondering again and again, Lin Ang let out a sigh of relief, okay, let's make trouble, the heavenly family owes this child so much, and the marriage is up to his own discretion, and it will not be irreparable. As long as the relationship with several princes is far away, the Lin family is one of His Majesty's most trusted forces after all.
