Chapter 21: The Lin Family Crisis

"Who can tell the old man what happened?" Lin Tenglong returned to the hall and asked everyone in the hall.

"Father-in-law, in my opinion, it must be the royal family who deliberately framed our Lin family and wanted to seize the military power of our Lin family. Lin Liangdong returned to the Lin family after the action last night, and the old man Lin wondered why he came back, Lin Liangdong said that he saw that the empire was embarrassed, so he came back to help, but he didn't expect that the Lin Mansion was surrounded by the Royal Forest Army the next day.

"There must be something strange about this matter, but now that the Lin family is surrounded by the Imperial Forest Army, we can't investigate if we want to. "Old Man Lin didn't suspect the royal family, after all, his father and the brother of the Long family back then, although they are now in the third generation, they are not so easy to fall apart.

"Father-in-law, why don't the child break out with some of his brothers and find out what happened. Lin Liangdong suggested to the old man.

"Dong'er, I know that you are dedicated to the good of the Lin family, but at present, we have no clues, and rashly clashing with the Royal Forest Army will inevitably make others think that our Lin family is a thief. ”

"Father-in-law, then we won't do anything and just watch? If it's really a royal troublemaker, it will be troublesome to break through at that time, and Batian is still killing the enemy on the front line, and he doesn't know that his rear has been controlled by the royal family, if no one transmits the current situation to him, when the overlord returns, maybe it will be the time when our Lin family is destroyed." Lin Liangdong said indignantly.

"This matter needs to be discussed in the long run, you go down first, let the old man be clean and clean, and let the old man think about it. "Old Man Lin is also a big head, now the Haotian Empire is in turmoil on both sides, if the imperial capital city is in chaos again, the period of the collapse of the Haotian Empire will not be far away.

Lin Liangdong saw that he had no way to convince Old Man Lin, so he had to retreat first, although now Old Man Lin didn't believe that the royal family would deal with him, but His Royal Highness had another way, and he would definitely push the Lin family to the opposite side of the royal family, and then Old Man Lin would have to resist, and he would definitely not be willing to joke with the lives of the whole family.

In the Prince's Mansion, Cheng Mingyu received the news that Emperor Haotian had sent people to surround the Lin Mansion, so he came to the Prince's study.

"See His Royal Highness the Prince, his subordinates have important matters to discuss. ”

"Oh, what's the matter with Brother Cheng?" His Royal Highness the Crown Prince asked Cheng Mingyu while seeing Cheng Mingyu coming.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince Qiqi, now the emperor has sent the Imperial Forest Army to surround the Lin Mansion, but he has not done anything to the Lin family, if the emperor finds out that last night's incident was not the Lin family's doing, the Lin family will still be fine at that time. Cheng Mingyu waited until all the others had left before answering the prince.

"So what, at present, all the armies in the empire have gone to the front line to fight, except for the Lin family and the Imperial Forest Army in the entire imperial capital, who has the ability to do this? This must be done by the Lin family. "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince didn't care, in his opinion, the Lin family must be finished this time.

"His Royal Highness the Prince, although only the Lin family can do this on the surface, it is not necessarily the Lin family's doing, after all, the Lin family has more than seventy percent of the strength of the Haotian Empire. ”

"Well, what you said also makes sense, but who can do this except the Lin family?" His Royal Highness the Crown Prince couldn't figure it out, so he had to ask Cheng Mingyu.

"No matter who did it in advance, at present, our primary goal is to step on the Lin family, and then get the Lin family's military power into our own hands, when the time comes, His Royal Highness the Prince, you will have the opportunity to ascend to the throne, and now since the emperor has sent the imperial forest army to surround the Lin family, there must be a trace of suspicion, as long as we find a way to make this suspicion a little bigger, then the emperor will definitely attack the Lin family, and then we can ask the emperor to let us make a move, and then we will completely kill the Lin family, and then take over the Lin family's military power, as long as the military power is in hand, then we can take the opportunity to force the emperor to give way." 。 "Cheng Mingyu drew a big pie.

"Well, this plan is very good, but how to operate it?" When His Royal Highness the Crown Prince heard Cheng Mingyu's description, a look of greed appeared in his eyes, as if the throne was already in front of his eyes and within reach.

"Your Highness, do you still remember Lin Batian's search of the imperial capital a few days ago? At that time, although His Majesty the Emperor pressed this matter, but the people who were punished were not so easy to compromise, they did not dare to resent the emperor, but they must hate the Lin family to the core, we can use them to make some articles, force the emperor to attack the Lin family, as long as the Lin family resists, we will have a chance." Cheng Mingyu continued to pour ecstasy soup on the prince.

"Seconds are extreme, borrowing a knife to kill people, Brother Cheng, your resourcefulness is really powerful, you can think of such a good method. "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is already dizzy.

"It is within the subordinate's duty to share the worries of the prince and give advice to His Royal Highness the prince. Cheng Mingyu was disdainful in his heart, this prince is too hasty, he will be fooled if he is casually coaxed, is the Lin family's military power so easy to get? Lin Batian is still outside.

"Eh~ Brother Cheng, why be modest, but although this plan is very good, how can you make those people willing to target the Lin family?"

"Your Highness, look what it is. Cheng Mingyu took out a stack of letters from his arms.

"This~ This is the letter of the Lin family collaborating with the enemy? How could it be? How could the Lin family collude with the Huanyu Empire? Is this letter true?" His Royal Highness the Crown Prince asked in disbelief when he saw the letter Cheng Mingyu took out.

"Of course this is fake, this is the subordinates looking for someone to imitate, and the seal on it is the subordinate who was fortunate enough to see the gift book sent by the Huanyu Empire in the early years, and the subordinate has the ability to never forget, so he wrote it down. "Cheng Mingyu made up a lie, of course this letter is true, it was written by His Majesty the Huanyu Empire himself, but this letter seems to be related to the Lin family, but in fact it is only a one-sided content.

"Hahaha, okay, Brother Cheng is really the right-hand man of the palace, with these letters, my father won't be able to believe it when the time comes. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince laughed loudly.

"Your Highness is slow, although this letter is easy to make the emperor believe that the Lin family will rebel, but we have to think of a way to the origin of this letter, otherwise it will backfire. Cheng Mingyu continued to talk to the prince.

"This is easy to do, just say that I sent someone to the Lin family to find it?" His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said with a nonchalant expression.

"I can only say that, but tomorrow morning, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will arrange a confidant to disclose this matter, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince should not be in a hurry to come forward, and wait until the emperor is angry after reading the letter, and then explain the origin of the letter, then the emperor will only care about the authenticity of the letter, and will not specifically emphasize the origin of the letter. ”

"Why is that?" asked His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, puzzled.

"Your Highness, after all, you are the prince of the country, if it is up to you to expose this matter, the emperor will definitely have a grudge, and then it will not be effective. Cheng Mingyu explained bitterly, this prince seems to be very deep in the city, but in fact he is a big straw bag, and his usual disguise is basically taught by Cheng Mingyu.

"In that case, let's do as Brother Cheng said. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince didn't think much about it, so he arranged it according to what Cheng Mingyu said.

Cheng Mingyu saw that the prince had taken the bait, so he didn't say more, just waited for the morning to see tomorrow morning, and hoped that the prince would not let himself down.

"Your Majesty has arrived~" A very shrill rooduck voice came with a long tail note.

"Knock on Your Majesty, long live my emperor, long live, long live. ”

"Zhongqing is flat. ”

"Your Majesty, Emperor. ”

"I don't know what Zhong Aiqing thinks of what happened at the West City Gate the night before?" His Majesty the Emperor asked directly to the Minister of Civil and Military Affairs of the Manchu Dynasty.

"Your Majesty, Weichen thinks that the Lin family is extremely evil, and it should be the crime of the nine clans, and I hope that Your Majesty will order the punishment of Zhennan Wangfu. The person who answered the emperor's question was the prince's henchman Cai Yushi.

"I don't know why Cai Yushi said this, what did King Zhennan do to punish?" His Majesty the Emperor asked puzzled.

"Back to Your Majesty's words, the Lin family is bold enough to premeditate a rebellion, this is one thing, killing civilians the night before last and losing all conscience, this is the second thing, supporting the army and respecting themselves and not putting the royal family in their eyes, this is the third, any of the three crimes is a major crime of raiding the family and exterminating the family, and the ministers seem to be admonishing Your Majesty, hoping that Your Majesty will order the Lin family to be arrested and recalled to Lin Ba for punishment. ”

"Hehe, I don't know where these three sins of Cai Yushi come from?" the emperor sneered.

"Your Majesty, Weichen has evidence in his hand that the Lin family is secretly colluding with the Huanyu Empire. Cai Yushi threw out a message that shocked the Manchu Dynasty, and then took out a stack of letter paper from his bosom and held it on his head. The Chinese military officials of the DPRK whispered one after another, unable to believe it.

"Quietly, go, and present the evidence of Cai Yushi. His Majesty the Emperor was very surprised, but still wanted to see the so-called evidence, so he ordered the eunuch to get the evidence.

The eunuch beside the emperor transmitted the evidence in Cai Yushi's hand to the emperor, and the emperor flipped through them one by one and found that these letters were really sent by the Huanyu Empire, and there was the seal of the royal family of the Huanyu Empire. Bang! The emperor finally finished reading, and then slapped his big hand on the dragon case.

"Your Majesty is angry. All the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty knelt down and shouted.

"Is this true?" His Majesty the Emperor still didn't believe that the Lin family would rebel, but the letter in his hand was indeed true and could not be faked.

"Back to Your Majesty, this matter is absolutely true. Cai Yushi replied.

"Then I ask you, how did you get these letters?"

"This~" Cai Yushi wanted to speak and stopped.

"Hmm, what? can't tell you the origin of this letter?" His Majesty the Emperor stared at Cai Yushi, and the anger in his heart was even worse.

"Father, this letter was found by his son in the Lin Mansion. The night before yesterday, such an angry thing happened at the West City Gate, and Erchen felt that something was wrong, so he sent people to the Lin Mansion to search, and the results were found in these letters. Seeing that the time was almost up, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince stepped forward to explain the origin of the letter.

Sure enough, the emperor didn't think much about it when he heard the prince's answer, and only cared about these letters in his heart, because he knew that the handwriting on these letters was indeed the handwriting of the emperor of the Huanyu Empire, and this seal was not something that ordinary people could make.

"Please Your Majesty quickly order the Lin family to be taken down!" Seeing that the Manchu Dynasty Wenwu finally had a chance to take revenge on the Lin family, they knelt down and shouted.

"Someone came, ordered Long Chen to put all the people in the Lin Mansion on death row and wait for the fate. "His Majesty the Emperor finally gave the order.
