Chapter 14: Contributions
After listening to what Lin Feng said, Cao Zhengchun couldn't help but stroke his palm and chuckle: "What Lin Shaoxia said coincides with what our family thinks, it is really a unique vision, and a hero is a young man!" β
Lin Feng was not arrogant or impatient when he heard this, and said with a slight smile: "Lord Cao has praised it falsely, and the grass people are just a little superficial. Thinking that His Majesty was anxious because of the disappearance of the Queen Mother, he didn't think of this layer before. β
He lightly took the credit for his own merits in one sentence, and patted Zhu Puzhao lightly, Lin Feng's wrist and scheming cultivated since childhood can be seen.
Seeing him like this, the emperor was even more satisfied, and said with a smile: "Lin Shaoxia is too modest, I really care about my mother, and I am in a mess for a while. However, the two of you, what is your best plan for this? β
Cao Zhengchun waved his hand and said: "Your Majesty, since Lin Shaoxia has this suggestion, he must have a plan in his heart, and the old slave will not say much." β
Lin Feng is not modest, he just wants to show his talents at this moment, so naturally he will not deliberately hide his clumsiness: "Back to Your Majesty, the Overseer, the grass people think that the assassin and the Queen Mother will never leave the capital too far for a while." And the entire capital is surrounded by a radius of 100 miles, in addition to the palace inside, there are no more than three places where the queen mother can be hidden. β
"Which three?" The emperor's face became solemn.
"The first place is the East Factory under the jurisdiction of Lord Cao." As soon as Lin Feng's words fell, Zhu Puzhao's face changed and he looked at Cao Zhengchun on the side.
"Lin Shaoxia, this governor respects you very much, why are you so bloody?" Cao Zhengchun was shocked when he saw this, and stretched out his hand to question loudly.
"Your Majesty, don't worry, Lord Cao, don't panic, and listen to what the grass people have to say." Lin Feng's face was still pale, and there was a faint smile on the corner of his mouth, "Lord Cao's skills are all over the sky, and he has been in the Great Inner all the year round, and it can be said that there are people who are overseers everywhere in the palace. If Lord Cao wanted to be unfavorable to the Queen Mother, he would never make such a big move. Therefore, this matter will definitely not be done by Lord Cao. β
After listening to Lin Feng's words, Zhu Puzhao and Cao Zhengchun's faces finally softened, and both of them felt that what he said was reasonable, so they said in unison: "What about the second place?" β
"The second place is the Dragon Guardian Villa of the Iron Courage God." Lin Feng's eyes were flat, but what he said was like thunder.
"You mean Uncle Huang?" Zhu Puzhao's face turned faster at this time, and the expression on his face was cloudy, more heavy than when he heard Cao Zhengchun's name before, and he didn't know what he was thinking.
But Lin Feng fully understood why His Majesty the Emperor had such a big reaction.
After all, although the current situation in the imperial court is very bad, and "there are Cao thieves inside, and there are Zhu troubles outside", in fact, for the emperor, it is obvious that the threat of "Zhu trouble" is greater than that of "Cao thieves".
Because no matter how high and powerful Cao Zhengchun is, he is still a eunuch, even if he is a slave and a bully, it is impossible to usurp the throne and become the emperor, because no one will support a eunuch to be the emperor. Even if someone approaches him because of his power, he will never rebel with him.
Cao Zhengchun himself can clearly realize this, so in the original plot, he always maintains a due respect for the emperor, and whenever the emperor is angry, he will also show sincere fear.
And the Iron Courage God Hou Zhu ignored it was completely different. He holds the Danshu iron coupon given by the emperor, and is in charge of the world's first intelligence agency, the Dragon Guardian Villa, and his martial arts are even more unfathomable. If that's all, the most important thing is that he also has pure royal blood!
Zhu ignored whether it was in the court or in the rivers and lakes, his influence was very strong, if he really had a heart of disobedience, he only needed to raise his arms and shout, I am afraid that Zhu Puzhao's throne would really be unstable.
And the losing side in the coup d'Γ©tat naturally has only one extremely miserable ending - the "merciful" one will be imprisoned for life, and the more ruthless one will directly behead all his descendants.
The Lord of Yunluo County, who had been listening silently next to him, showed a look of disbelief on his face, and said: "Although Uncle Huang is a serious and old-fashioned person, he has always been loyal to you, Brother Huang, and he also has great respect for the Queen Mother, it is impossible to do such a thing!" β
Cao Zhengchun can climb to the position of the superintendent of Dongchang in the palace, naturally he will not be a mediocre person, and he can naturally understand the emperor's jealousy, so he deliberately said the opposite: "The prince is wise and martial, benevolent and filial, how could he do such a rebellious thing?" β
Zhu Puzhao knew that although Yun Luo and Cao Zhengchun were saying something to defend Zhu Ignorance, they had different thoughts.
However, after all, he was thoughtful, and he still showed a noncommittal look at the words of the two, and said lightly: "Lin Shaoxia, you should continue to talk." β
"Haha, Your Majesty should have guessed that the Divine Marquis would never do such a thing that harms others and is not beneficial to himself. After all, no matter how majestic and stable the Shenhou is, he is stereotyped, but his heart is still always towards my Ming royal family. Therefore, he would definitely not do such a thing that would humiliate the royal face and do no good to himself. β
Lin Feng still had the wisdom bead in his hand, and he continued to tell his views with a leisurely look.
"Before talking about the third location, the grass people would like to ask His Majesty a question."
"You ask."
"May I ask Your Majesty, do you have any intention of taking a concubine recently?"
"Concubine?" Zhu Puzhao's face was stunned for a moment, and then he remembered something, so he nodded, "Yes, the princess of Izumo Kingdom just arrived in the capital not long ago, and she said that she was going to enter the palace to serve me." However, the Queen Mother disappeared tonight, and this matter of peace with Izumo Country will probably have to be postponed. β
"Your Majesty, if the grass people are not bad, the Queen Mother will be in the post house where the envoy of Izumo Province lives at this time." Lin Feng's words were not shocking, and he was endless.
"How is this possible?"
As soon as Lin Feng's words fell, Zhu Puzhao, Yun Luo and Cao Zhengchun asked in unison.
Cao Zhengchun asked the doubts in his heart for the emperor: "The Izumo Kingdom has always been friendly with the Ming Dynasty, and their national strength is weak, compared with my Ming National Strength, it is simply different from cloud and mud, how dare you do this to dig your own grave and provoke our country?" β
"If they are really the envoys and princesses of Izumo Kingdom, they naturally don't dare to provoke my Ming Guowei, but what if these two people are fake? Your Majesty, the county lord, and the overseer, if you don't believe it, you can wait until tomorrow, and you will see it later. Lin Feng said firmly, "Tomorrow, if the envoy of Izumo Kingdom repeatedly asks to see the Queen Mother, then his intentions will be revealed. β
"The Izumo Kingdom envoy and the princess are fakes? I sent someone to verify that it was indeed Princess Izumo Kunihide and the general Karasuma, and there was no mistake about that. Zhu Puzhao still didn't believe it.
Lin Feng was not annoyed when he heard this, he just bowed slightly: "The scene of the envoy of the Yunguo Kingdom entering Beijing on that day was not small, and the grass people had also seen General Karasuma from afar. Although the man with the head and neck of the assassin was masked, the grass people still recognized his figure, and it must be Karasuma. β
Lin Feng was blind to these words, where had he seen any envoys enter Beijing, but he was just familiar with this plot!
