"Okay, this time, thank you Lord Chen for speaking out, just one less disaster for the Celestial Empire, in this way, I will immediately report to Lord Lu Su that I know, and I will do it tonight to take down all these rebellious ministers and thieves." The judge said angrily. He wasn't worried that Chen Lin would talk nonsense, whether it was true or not, he would know in the first instance after all the people were caught.

"No." After hearing this, Chen Lin hurriedly shook his head and said, "We don't know if Xu Yu has other tasks here, in case there are other means, we can't solve the fundamental problem if we do this now." ”

"Huh? What Lord Chen said was very true, but I don't know what his opinion was. "After thinking about it, this is indeed the case, now that Xu You, Guo Tu and others have been arrested, they can naturally strangle the conspiracy in the cradle, but who knows if they have other preparations? Instead of being wary of everything, it is better to pretend that you don't know, so that the eldest prince doesn't need to think about other threats until this plan is completed, which is a good way to delay time.

Hearing that the judge was asking his opinion, Chen Lin was naturally flattered and said: "Lord Judge, Lin Zhi saw it, so he pretended not to know everything, just to let the eldest prince not agree to Guo Tu's request first, and take this time to investigate well, and after making sure that there are no other dormant sections, he will be captured in one fell swoop." ”

Chen Lin also thought about these things many times in one night, that is, he thought that this was the safest way. Confidants are thousands of opponents, and they will not be defeated in a hundred battles.

"Okay, it's up to Lord Chen, it's just that we still haven't interacted much these days, in case others notice, and I will also tell the housekeeper that you never appeared in my mansion tonight. Of course, I will go to see Lord Lu early tomorrow morning and explain the matter to him, and at that time, as for what Lord Chen has done, he will be rewarded for his meritorious deeds. The judge began to comfort Chen Lin, no matter what, this time this person is on his side, and he should be rewarded for it.

Listening to the words of the judge, Chen Lin really shook his head and said: "Lord Judge, the reason why the lower officials do this is also for the sake of the people of the world. To be honest, apart from the emperor, I don't think anyone else can govern the world so well. Seeing the people in Bingzhou and other places so rich, this is really a blessing in the world, and I don't want to see the people suffer from war and life again. ”

These can be regarded as Chen Lin's sincere words. In these times in Jinyang City, he really saw the rich side of the people, and also made him think that Zhang Chao was Mingjun, otherwise, he would not have taken the risk to report the news.

"Okay, okay, I know Lord Chen's heart, it's really admirable." As he spoke, he bent his body deeply and bowed to the end. He did this on behalf of his personal appreciation for Chen Lin.

......

Jinyang City Palace.

It is also the original Great General's Mansion, after several expansions, the scale of its palace has expanded a lot, even compared with the Han Palace in Luoyang City, it is not too much.

This morning, the trial came to the room of Lu Su, the Minister of the Interior of Yipin, who was working in the palace, on the pretext of reporting on finances.

When the judge pushed out what Chen Lin said last night, Lu Su was so angry that he threw the teacup on the ground on the spot.

Zhang Chao suddenly disappeared, and the situation in the Celestial Empire began to change dramatically. And such changes can be seen by outsiders at a glance.

For example, the Dragoon Legion and the Third Legion, which were fighting against Liu Bei in Tianshui County, Yongzhou, ceased fighting one after another; For example, the vanguard corps, which was confronting Cao Cao's army on the border of Sili, suddenly retreated fifty miles. The appearance of these things made Lu Su have a bad premonition in his heart.

Speaking of which, the establishment of the Celestial Empire is still too short. It is no exaggeration to say that everything today is all because of Zhang Chao's wisdom and skills. It seems that Lu Bu, the commander of the Vanguard Legion, and Ma Chao, the leader of the Dragoon Legion, all of them have the style of generals and have the qualifications to become commanders, and they can indeed cast themselves in the name of the Celestial Empire in the position of a legion commander.

Of course, it is not so much that they voted in the name of the Celestial Empire, but that they voted in the name of Zhang Chao, and they were conquered by this wise man who only came out of a thousand years.

But now, Zhang Chao has disappeared, and the disappearance is still circulating, how can they still be the same? It's like thinking about rebellion, but also about your own safety. For example, will it appear that he is fighting in front of him, and suddenly the grain and grass behind him are cut off, and someone even stabs him in the back?

The heart of harming others cannot be used, and the heart of preventing others is indispensable. With this in mind, they suddenly stopped, and this was a normal thing.

Lu Su didn't want to blame anyone for these things, he knew that this was a normal means for people to encounter unknown dangers. It's just that what he didn't expect was that in addition to the abnormal movements in the army, there were people in the imperial city who were still fighting the idea of the prince, especially the idea of Zhang Tian, the prince who was most likely to inherit the unification.

When he heard the words of the trial on the first day, Lu Su had an impulse to send someone to take down Guo Tu, Xin Ping, Xin Bi and others. As the Minister of the Interior, and the most powerful minister in the palace, it is necessary for him to strangle all dangers in the cradle.

It's just that next, after the judge said Chen Lin's words, he still hesitated. "Yes, what Master Chen said is very right, now the other party is in the dark, we are in the light, if we don't find out their bottom clearly, then even if we kill Guo Tu and them, it will not solve the problem."

Seeing that Lu Su calmed down so quickly, the judge couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, he was really worried that this first-grade minister would do it without listening to the advice in anger, in this case, he was only a second-grade minister, and he had no right to stop it.

Fortunately, Lu Su is still a reasonable person, and when he saw that he stopped his anger, he said: "Lord Lu, everything still needs you to communicate with Tianyan, I am afraid that only they can quickly find out the details of the other party, I think it is important to put it on the ministers who are good friends with Guo Tu and Xu Yu on weekdays." Also, the eldest prince has to ask Lord Lu to say that he should not agree to Guo Tu's request to teach him etiquette, but he can't refuse, and give them hope, so as to gain the most favorable time for our investigation. ”

"Okay, I know, I'll do these things right away, Lord Judge, if the situation allows, you have to have more contact with Lord Chen Lin these days, in case things change again." Lu Su nodded.

"Yes." The judge hugged his fists and bowed to his subordinates, and agreed.

After Lu Su knew what had happened, he began to arrange it. Lu Fei is seated in the Tianyan Organization for twelve hours a day, even if he is sleepy and tired, he will only rest in the room for a while, because he knows that now is the most nervous time.

Concubine Bai Tongde had fallen ill because she was worried about Zhang Chao, and the major events in her eyes fell back into Lu Fei's hands today. And when she suddenly saw the visiting Lu Su, and learned from him that Guo Tu and others wanted to be unfavorable to His Royal Highness the Great Prince, she was also angry, and said that she would immediately send the most elite forces and manpower to investigate this matter.

The machines inside the Celestial Empire began to spin straight. Guo Tu didn't know all this. According to the agreed plan, he put forward several requests to invite the eldest prince Zhang Tian to learn the etiquette of the court. It's just that he has been politely rejected several times, just saying that His Royal Highness the Great Prince has too many things to do now, and he will talk about it in two days.

That is, there was no refusal or promise, which made Guo Tu unable to give up, so he had to continue to fight.

And so the four days passed. And just when Guo Tu and Xu You were not allowed to discuss whether to implement the assassination plan in a different way, news finally came that His Royal Highness the Great Prince would come to the Ministry of Rites at noon tomorrow to learn palace etiquette.

As soon as the news came out, Guo Tu happily rushed back to the house.

The inner house of the Guo Mansion has not allowed outsiders to enter for several days, and Xu You has been well protected. When he saw Guo Tu returning to the courtyard with an excited face, Xu You, who was intentionally dressed as a servant, greeted him and said, "Brother Gongze, but is there any good news?" ”

"Hehe, good news, good news, Zhang Tian has agreed to go to my rite department at noon tomorrow, hahaha." Guo Tu said with a laugh on his face.

Since he decided to listen to Xu Youzhi's suggestion to join Cao Cao's door, he has not been calm for a moment, and after making the plan, he is even more worried, for fear that the matter will be revealed and cause death.

It's not easy to be a traitor, first of all, you have to pass your own psychological level, it seems that Guo Tu has not yet practiced at home in this area.

I feel like I'm about to collapse inside, but fortunately, there is finally good news coming, and once I can kill Zhang Tian, it will be equivalent to a great success, and at that time he can push everything on Chen Lin's body, and then he can take advantage of the chaos to leave Jinyang City with Xu Yu and Xin Ping and Xin Bi brothers. Once he is by Cao Cao's side, the sky is high and the birds can fly.

Thinking that he is about to be freed, and may even usher in a more brilliant life, where does Guo Tu have a reason to be unhappy?

Xu You couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he heard that the plan could be implemented tomorrow. After all, he is now in Jinyang City, and if things are not done well, they will be exposed, and appearing here with his identity at this moment will definitely not end well.

Fortunately, everything seemed to be going well, and when he looked at Guo Tu, he was relieved and said cheeringly, "Okay, even if Zhang Tian is willing to learn court etiquette, Zhang Chao must have a big problem there." ”

After Xu You's reminder, Guo Tu also nodded again and again, "Yes, if it weren't for Zhang Chao's big problem, why would Zhang Tian be so anxious about learning the Ministry of Rites." Speaking of this, he couldn't help but rejoice in his rebellion.
