Chapter 607 Chen Lin's decision
"Good. Even if everyone intends to cast into Cao Gong's account, then I won't hide it, that's the case, Brother Ziyuan means that now Zhang Chao has disappeared, and his heir is the eldest son Zhang Tian, and if we can kill this person, the Celestial Empire will be in chaos, and then Cao Gong's men and horses will move forward on the battlefield without an opponent. When Guo Tu said these words, his eyes kept wandering over Xin Ping, Xin Bi and Chen Lin.
This is a big thing, he has to see the attitude of the three people clearly, but if there is a little hesitation, for the sake of big things, he has to kill the killer.
When Guo Tu looked at it, Chen Lin and the three of them also looked thoughtful.
The two brothers, Xin Ping and Xin Bi, were indeed shocked by the news, but they soon began to think about the feasibility of the matter. immediately decided to betray the Celestial Empire and join Cao Cao's side, no matter what requirements Guo Tu gave now, they could only do their best to complete it, but when it came to killing Zhang Tian, how could it be easy?
Also surprised was Chen Lin. He really wanted to know Guo Tu and Xu You's next move, but he never thought that they were so bold that they wanted to attack the emperor, and it was conceivable that if the matter was really successful, I was afraid that it would be normal for the Celestial Empire to fall apart.
The three of them had their own thoughts, but they didn't give a round right away, after Guo Tu saw it, he looked at Xu You on the side, and then smiled: "What's wrong?" Are you scared? ”
"No, no." Hearing the displeasure in Guo Tu's words, the two brothers Xin Ping and Xin Bi waved their hands again and again, and then the boss Xin Ping took the initiative to explain: "We are just thinking that Zhang Tian must be heavily guarded around him now, and I am afraid it will not be easy to assassinate him." ”
"I don't have to worry about this, I have already thought about it, in the name of the Ministry of Rites, I called him over, and said that as a prince, he will inherit the unification in the future, and some issues related to court etiquette have to be understood, presumably such an excuse, Zhang Tian can't refuse, and when the time comes, as long as we are well prepared, once we get close to him, we can kill the killer, and when the time comes, kill Zhang Tian, we can also take advantage of the chaos to leave Jinyang City, and we will be the biggest contributor when we return to Wei." Guo Tu smiled lightly and told the whole plan that he had prepared in his heart.
Guo Tu's plan does have his feasibility, and it is indeed not easy to doubt it under the pretext of teaching court etiquette, but it is not important, the fatal thing is who can get close to him, is it himself who will do it himself?
After Xin Ping and Xin Bi figured out the joints, their faces became ugly. Even if there is a chance, you can get close to the eldest prince Zhang Tian and kill him. But after this happens, it will be very difficult to escape.
In other words, who will do this dangerous thing, and who will do it?
Xin Ping and Xin Bi are both literati, although they have also learned some ordinary swordsmanship, but they don't think that they can really kill people and retreat, thinking that they have made a contribution, but they do have to pay the price of their lives, they became hesitant.
Chen Lin, who was on the side, suddenly stood up as if he had figured it out at this moment and took the initiative to say: "Okay, Brother Gongze's plan is very feasible, I raise my hands in agreement." ”
Chen Lin agreed, which caused Guo Tu and Xu You to be happy, and then the two clapped their hands together and said: "Okay, good, Brother Kong Zhang (Chen Lin's character) is a model for us to learn." ”
"Hehe, ashamed, ashamed, it's not done yet, let's talk about it when everything is done. It's just that my official rank is low, I'm afraid that if I invite the eldest prince for such a thing, I will also ask the princess to come forward, and as long as I find the right opportunity, I will do it myself. Chen Lin said with a righteous and awe-inspiring side. It feels as if he has hated Zhang's to the bone.
To say that Chen Lin does have such a motive. After all, he had publicly insulted Zhang Chao, and this knot was difficult to untie. Second, this person has an upright personality, he will say whatever he wants, and he is the kind of person who is full of joy and anger, so it is no wonder that he reacts so quickly.
Xu You and Guo Tu didn't have too many ideas, they were moved by Chen Lin's words, and seeing that someone took the initiative to stand up, the two of them were immediately overjoyed, and stepped forward to say words of encouragement and compliment. Xu You even stated that once this matter is done, he will definitely protect it in front of Cao Cao, so that Brother Kong Zhang will have a better future.
It was the Xin Ping and Xin Bi brothers on the side who also took the initiative to come out, saying something admiration, long admiration and other words.
Listening to this, Chen Lin deliberately pretended to be embarrassed, but only he knew in his heart that once he really did this, he would be sure to die, and the real benefits would only fall into the hands of these people. After all, they didn't make a move, and even if they had something, they could push it on themselves.
Fortunately, Chen Lin didn't think about doing it at all, he had his own plans. Everything that is being said now is nothing more than expediency. As for who will benefit and who will suffer as a result, it will depend on the further development of the matter.
Chen Lin took the initiative to stand up and take on everything, and the others were naturally overjoyed. Guo Tu also immediately made a decision, saying that he would ask the eldest prince Zhang Tian to take care of him, and then the five of them had specific discussions on the next details. For example, under what circumstances Chen Lin should do it, and after doing it, how can everyone safely withdraw from the city, etc.
This discussion came to dark, in order not to attract the attention of others, Guo Tu did not leave everyone to have dinner here, Chen Lin, Xin Ping, and Xin Bi also rushed to the mansion when it was dark.
Chen Lin returned to the mansion, first had dinner with her family, and then returned to the bedroom to rest as usual. It's just that what others don't know is that in the middle of the night, he changed into the clothes of an ordinary servant and left the Chen Mansion.
Inquisition.
The famous strategist under the account of Yuan Shao of Jizhou is living here.
Judging the word Zhengnan, he was originally one of the famous strategists in Hebei, and was favored by Zhang Chao, the first emperor of the heavens, and was cited as a reuse, and became the finance minister in charge of logistics and grain and grass of the Celestial Empire.
As the old saying goes, the soldiers and horses have not moved, and the grain and grass go first.
This shows the importance of grain and grass. And the fact that the trial can be entrusted with important tasks is not only Zhang Chao's trust in him, but also shows that his ability is also very good.
When the Celestial Empire was first established, he was named a second-class civil official, with the same status as the military divisions of the major legions, and the courtiers of such a high-ranking minister as Tian Feng, the president of the court, were also of the same status.
The person Chen Lin is going to visit tonight is the person who is going to be judged.
Seeing others and judging with prejudice is also the result of Chen Lin's careful consideration overnight.
When they worked together in Jizhou before, the two already had some friendship. Of course, the main reason for Chen Lin to make such a choice is that the high-ranking officials he can see now are only judged and matched, such as important ministers like Lu Su and Tian Feng, it is difficult for him to see them when he sees them, not to mention that he doesn't want others to know about this matter, so the process of everything must be even more careful. It seems that the supervisor is the financial department of a country, and the more time he interacts with people, he is the most accessible and the best target that is least susceptible to suspicion.
When Chen Lin came to visit at night, the judge had already fallen asleep, and the housekeeper at home said that there was something to talk about tomorrow.
But how could Chen Lin enter during the day, he immediately said righteously, how important his affairs are, once something happens, even if the trial can't afford it, the butler was stunned, and finally had to enter the room to report. It's just that before doing this, the housekeeper also said with a fierce face, "I hope that Lord Chen is indeed in trouble, otherwise, the master will not spare you." ”
Chen Lin is just a five-grade official, and he has seen too many housekeepers with such an official rank, so he is naturally fearless.
The butler went into the inner courtyard and woke up the judge, who had fallen asleep. When he heard that Arlene had something important to do, he also got up with a hint of suspicion.
The trial didn't want people to think that he didn't recognize his old friends when he became a big official, and he also knew Chen Lin, knowing that although this person's personality was a little more upright, he was also a person with a sense of the overall situation.
In the side hall, the judge saw Chen Lin, and then said politely: "Brother Kong Zhang, why did you come here at such a night?" ”
As soon as she saw the trial, Chen Lin was a little excited, but she didn't speak immediately, but looked at the housekeeper on the side first.
Knowing what he meant, he said to the butler: "Okay, you go down first, there is nothing for you here." ”
The housekeeper agreed and retreated, and as soon as he retreated outside the door, Chen Lin took a small step forward and whispered to the judge: "Lord Judge, something big is going to happen, someone wants to assassinate the eldest prince." ”
"What?" Originally, he was still a little sleepy, but after hearing this, a layer of cold sweat broke out on his whole body, and he became much more energetic, "Lord Chen, what happened." At this time, he also began to call out Chen Lin's rank.
Through Chen Lin's narration, the judge quickly knew what happened in Guo Tu's mansion today, and when he heard that this person actually wanted to assassinate the eldest prince, he naturally had an angry look on his face, and said hatefully: "The emperor feeds them and reuses them, but I didn't expect that he would have a different heart and want to do such a big mistake, which is really chilling." ”
"Yes, Lord Juan, I didn't expect such a thing to happen before, and after witnessing the whole process, I was terrified from the bottom of my heart." Chen Lin nodded and agreed.
