Chapter 431: Stealing Talismans
Hearing this, Zhao Yun couldn't hold back the excitement in his heart anymore, and hugged Lin Yuan tightly in his arms, he didn't expect that after not seeing him for many days, Lin Yuan actually gave him a big surprise.
"Thank you, kite." Zhao Yun gently kissed Lin Kite's forehead.
After the two of them kept warm for a while, Zhao Yun left the palace with the help of Jiang Zixuan.
Back at the inn, Zhao Yun hoped to regain the imperial power as soon as possible, so he instructed the secret guards around him to call those good ministers, intending to discuss what to do next.
"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that we should strengthen our team, and now our strength is not enough to fight against the new emperor."
"Yes, Your Majesty, Lord Wang is right, we should first subdue those courtiers who are easy to persuade."
"As far as the ministers know, there are still many former ministers in the court, if the emperor can convince them, then we will be like a tiger."
Zhao Yun heard what these courtiers said, pondered for a while and then looked at them: "Since we want to convince those courtiers, where should we start?" ”
He was sure that these people would know about the old courtiers, after all, they had been together longer than he had been with the emperor.
"It's ......." Those people, you look at me, I look at you, and their faces are all embarrassed.
"There's something to say, but it's okay to say it." Zhao Yun looked at their expressions in his eyes, knowing that they were embarrassed to explain something.
When those people saw Zhao Yun say this, they had no choice but to make their words clear: "Your Majesty, I hope you don't blame us for listening." ”
Seeing Zhao Yun nodded, those people said the preferences of the old ministers: "As far as the ministers know, Lord Huang, who is the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, likes beautiful women, so Your Majesty, you just need to deal with the symptoms." ”
"And the Taifu Chang of the current dynasty likes to collect famous paintings, and the military department Shangshu Zhang likes to collect some swords and other weapons."
Everyone was talking about the preferences of the old courtiers, Zhao Yun didn't make a sound when he heard it, but the corners of his mouth trembled slightly, he didn't expect that the preferences of those courtiers were more strange than the other.
"Okay, I got it."
After those ministers left, Zhao Yun asked the secret guards to collect the favorite things of those old ministers everywhere, and he decided to meet those old ministers in person.
Although these former ministers are curious, they have to do so now in order to regain imperial power as soon as possible.
So Zhao Yun quietly came to the house of Lord Huang, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, with his things.
Seeing Zhao Yun who suddenly appeared, Lord Huang was obviously surprised: "First, the first emperor? ”
Although Lord Huang was surprised, he was an old minister in the court after all, so he quickly reacted and knelt on the ground to salute Zhao Yun, "Weichen greets the emperor." ”
"Lord Huang, please get up." Zhao Yun walked straight to the table and sat down: "I came here today to make a deal with Lord Huang. ”
"I don't know what kind of deal the emperor wants to make with his ministers?" Lord Huang stood aside tremblingly.
Zhao Yun didn't answer him directly, but clapped his hands and ordered the secret guard to bring things up.
Looking at the room of people, Lord Huang swallowed his saliva and looked at Zhao Yun at the table for some reason.
"What do you mean by that?"
Zhao Yun smiled lightly, "What do you mean?" Lord Huang really can't see it? ”
He walked up to Lord Huang, "I just heard by chance that Lord Huang likes beautiful women, these are just a few of them, if Lord Huang makes a deal with me, I guarantee that more and more beautiful women will be sent to your house." ”
Listening to Zhao Yun's words, although Lord Huang didn't show it on his face, he was very happy in his heart, but he didn't know what kind of medicine Zhao Yun was selling in his gourd, and he couldn't agree to him for a while.
Zhao Yun may have seen Lord Huang's thoughts, so he waved his hand and motioned for the secret guard to take those people down, and then slowly spoke: "I want you to help me regain the imperial power." ”
"What?" Lord Huang obviously didn't expect Zhao Yun to say it so bluntly.
"You don't need to be too surprised, this country was originally mine, but it was taken away by the new emperor with a trick."
Lord Huang was embarrassed when he heard Zhao Yun's words, Zhao Yun knew that he was very embarrassed now, so he didn't embarrass Lord Huang too much.
"I will give you three days to think about this matter, and I will come to visit you in three days." After speaking, Zhao Yun will not leave.
Then he used the same method to go to the house of Lord Zhang, the secretary of the Ministry of War, and Lord Zhang did not worry too much, but just like his temperament, he responded happily.
In the end, Zhao Yun took advantage of the late night to visit the home of Master Taifu Chang.
"The minister greets the emperor." Master Taifu Chang gave Zhao Yun a salute without being humble or arrogant.
Zhao Yun nodded, signaling that the Taifu didn't need to be polite, "I came to you today for something, I don't like to beat around the bush, so I said it directly." ”
He put the teacup in his hand on the table and continued: "I need you to help me regain the imperial power, and of course the benefits are naturally indispensable to you. ”
The secret guard on the side put all the famous paintings collected on the table, and Zhao Yun pointed to these famous paintings and said to Taifu: "If you agree, these famous paintings are yours." ”
"The emperor's matter is true, which makes the ministers embarrassed, aren't you forcing the ministers?"
Zhao Yun ignored the wailing of Master Taifu Chang, but took out another account book in the face of the dark guard.
"This ledger must be known to Chang adults, right? The input is that this ledger accidentally appeared in front of the new emperor, what kind of expression should he have? ”
Listening to the words of the new emperor, Master Chang hurriedly took the account book and looked at it carefully.
It turned out that this account book was the bribe he received as an official in the early years, how did this account book appear in Zhao Yun's hands?
"It's not unusual, I'm surrounded by masters, and stealing a ledger is too easy for them."
Zhao Yun looked down at Master Chang: "How is it?" Have you thought it through? ”
Now, Master Chang has nothing to say, so he has to kneel on the ground and bow his head: "Your Majesty, the minister has thought it through, and the minister is willing to serve the emperor." ”
"Very well, I'll come back to you again." After Zhao Yun finished speaking, he and the dark guard disappeared in place.
After Zhao Yun left, Master Chang wiped the sweat on his forehead in fear, and almost confessed his old life here.
On the second day, the good ministers learned that Zhao Yun had persuaded some of the former ministers to be overjoyed, and then they could discuss what to do next.
"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that only by getting the talisman can he overthrow the court and regain power." Lord Zhang, the secretary of the military department, said.
"Your Majesty, what Lord Zhang said is right, if we don't get back the talisman now, we won't be able to take down the new emperor, not to mention that the new emperor is insidious and cunning, so we still need to think about this matter in the long run."
Zhao Yun didn't know how cunning the new emperor was, it seemed that this matter should really be discussed.
"Since the new emperor is cunning, we have to use stratagems to get back the talisman."
"I don't know what good ideas Master Zhang has?"
Lord Zhang, the secretary of the military department, said what he thought in his heart: "As long as someone can sneak into the palace and steal the talisman." ”
"Not everyone can enter the palace, although we can all enter, but you must know that the military talisman is in the new emperor, how easy is it to get close to the new emperor?"
The minister's words made everyone fall into deep thought, and then Zhao Yun, who was silent on the side, suddenly spoke: "I can blend in and steal the talisman." ”
When everyone heard Zhao Yun's words, they were obviously taken aback: "The emperor must not, if something happens to you, what should we do, you have to think twice." ”
"Yes, the emperor is not a trivial matter, if something happens to you, won't we people be busy in vain."
"I've made up my mind, not to mention that I'm not a brainless person, I'll be careful."
Seeing that Zhao Yun was obsessed with this, everyone had no choice but to agree, otherwise they wouldn't know who to steal the talisman.
Everyone discussed until late afternoon before leaving the inn where Zhao Yun was.
Zhao Yun looked at the moonlight outside the window at this time, not knowing what he was thinking.
On the second day, Zhao Yun successfully infiltrated the palace with the help of Jiang Zixuan, this time he did not knock out the palace maid who delivered the meal, but slipped straight to the dormitory where Lin Yuan was.
Lin Yuan was sitting in the dormitory at this time and was bored reading a book, when she suddenly heard a sound from behind the screen, so she put down the book, picked up the dagger she carried with her, and walked cautiously towards the screen.
When she just pulled out the dagger, she found that the person who came turned out to be Zhao Yun, and her eyes widened with joy: "Zhao Yun! ”
Zhao Yun nodded, didn't pay attention to her, but took her hand and gently came to the bedside.
"How are these days? Is there anything wrong with your body? ”
Lin Yuan shook her head, "I'm fine, and the child is fine, so don't worry." ”
Hearing Lin Yuan say this, Zhao Yun saw that her face was ruddy, so he relieved his heart.
"But why are you here? Jiang Zixuan helped you come in again? Looking at the eunuch costume Zhao Yun was wearing, Lin Yuan guessed that Jiang Zixuan must have brought him in, but at this time he was surprised to appear in his bedroom.
"I'm here to tell you something." Zhao Yun solemnly told Lin Yuan: "I want to regain the imperial power as soon as possible, and I also plan to go to the new emperor to steal the talisman." ”
"What, you're going to steal the talisman?"
Zhao Yun nodded definitively, and then took Lin Kite's hand: "Kite, don't worry, I'll be fine." ”
This makes her not worried, and now she doesn't know their situation, but let Zhao Yun risk her life alone, she is not at ease after all.
"Zhao Yun, maybe I can help steal the talisman."
"You?" Zhao Yun obviously didn't believe what Lin Yuan said.
Lin Yuan looked at him with a serious expression, "Now that the new emperor is not wary of me, maybe I can use a trick to steal the talisman." ”
She just wanted to take advantage of the new emperor's unbearable attitude towards her and steal the talisman, so that Zhao Yun would not have to take risks, and he could get the talisman.
