Chapter 280: The Class Master Returns to the Dynasty (Part II)
Halfway through the banquet, Concubine Rong, who was forbidden to attend the banquet, suddenly asked to see her, needless to say, she must have interceded for the Protector General.
Bai Yu frowned and said, "No! Then he ordered someone to invite Concubine Rong back.
Lin Yanchen finally found a good opportunity to speak, secretly thought about it, and said to Bai Yu as if he had no intention of it: "Your Majesty, now that the general of the protector has been captured, all the soldiers are not good and have no owner, have you ever thought about handing over the talisman to whom?" ”
If this was something that everyone present wanted to know, but no one dared to ask, for fear of attracting Bai Yu's suspicion, but when this came out of Lin Yanchen's mouth, Bai Yu didn't have much suspicion.
After all, Lin Yanchen's performance in the DPRK and China has always been wholeheartedly for the country and the people, unlike others, and he never sees the slightest selfishness in his words and deeds.
Lin Yanchen is indeed selfless, and he has never deliberately shown loyalty to Bai Yu.
Indeed, he has a disobedient heart, but he hides it very well. Never discovered.
When Bai Yu heard this, he frowned slightly and said, "According to the prime minister, who do you think it is better to give this talisman to?" ”
Lin Yanchen said with a smile: "Chenyi Wenchen, where do you understand this, that's why I asked Your Majesty." ”
Bai Yu said: "Don't be modest, the prime minister is a banquet today, you don't have to be so restrained, even if you say something wrong, it doesn't matter." ”
Lin Yanchen said: "The minister said, according to the minister, the military talisman must be handed over to the senior generals in the court, how about the commander of the imperial Zhou?" ”
This Commander of Zhou is Zhou An's father, Bai Yu heard this, and said quite disapprovingly: "Commander Zhou is old, and he is in charge of the Imperial Forest Army in his hands, if he is in charge of the soldiers, wouldn't he be unbearable!" ”
To put it bluntly, Bai Yu will not let any courtier monopolize power.
Lin Yanchen had long expected that he would not agree, and the reason why he said this was just to deliberately pretend to be confused, so as not to make Bai Yu feel that he was a Wenchen who was concerned about the use of soldiers, and he was suspicious.
He deliberately guided the topic, and put forward his opinions in a rather clumsy, deliberative way, so that Bai Yu had no suspicions.
It's not that Lin Yanchen is too cautious, most of the kings are suspicious, and Bai Yu is especially serious.
Mo said that Lin Yanchen should be so cautious, and if he was someone else, he didn't dare to say it, for fear that he would say the wrong thing and be suspected by Bai Yu.
There are many lessons from the past, Bai Yu has always blamed the courtiers for only flattering over the years, and no one has told him the truth, but he never thought that all this was caused by his own suspicions.
Lin Yanchen saw that Bai Yu didn't agree, and continued: "It's the minister's inconsiderate consideration, by the way, the minister remembers that Zhou An, the son of the commander of Zhou, is also a military general in the court, and his kung fu is excellent......"
After being reminded by Lin Yanchen, Bai Yu thought of Zhou An, "Commander Zhou's son is not bad, but he is younger." ”
Lin Yanchen said all this, on this occasion, it would not be good for him to say more.
Thinking that Bai Yu would discuss with him privately afterwards, he would mention Zhou An with him first.
Lin Yanchen is not worried that Zhou An will be so strong that he can't control it in the future, and Bai Yu will not give him all the military power.
If his guess is correct, after this matter of the protector general, Bai Yu should disperse the forces in his hands, so that they can contain each other to avoid rebellion again.
As he expected, after the banquet, Bai Yu stayed in the palace to discuss the matter with him.
Lin Yanchen said: "Why doesn't Your Majesty find a martial artist to discuss this matter?" ”
"Those people in the DPRK can't be trusted, and those people are always selfish!"
Lin Yanchen: "......"
He has always acted cautiously, so as not to make Bai Yu have any suspicion of him, and he has successfully won Bai Yu's trust, but Bai Yu's trust in him is a little unexpected by Lin Yanchen.
Lin Yanchen told Bai Yu his thoughts, there are no generals with the qualifications of a protector general in the DPRK, and the military power cannot be concentrated in the hands of one person, but it is better to disperse it. ”
Lin Yanchen said, mentioning a few people, Bai Que, Zhou An and his son, the secretary of the military department, and the names of several unrelated generals, which were directly ignored by Bai Yu.
Bai Yu thought for a while and said, "Prime Minister, according to your mind, you should be able to guess that I am unwilling to hand over the military power to Prince Rui. ”
"Your Majesty is afraid that the prince will follow in the footsteps of the generals who protect the country?"
Lin Yanchen put it bluntly, and Bai Yu didn't play dumb riddles with him, and said, "That's good." That's what I'm worried about. ”
"The minister thinks the prince won't?"
"Why do you say that? Are you familiar with Prince Rui? ”
Lin Yanchen said: "The minister just thinks that if Prince Rui really wants to rebel, he should have taken advantage of the opportunity to capture the general who protects the country this time and hold the talisman, so why should he return to Beijing to hand over the talisman?" ”
Bai Yu said: "He doesn't have it now, and An Zhi won't have the intention of rebelling in the future?" ”
"Aren't you brothers?"
"Brother?" Bai Yu sneered disdainfully: "This ordinary brother's brother will turn against each other in order to compete for one acre and three points of land, let alone the royal family?" It's the same brother as I'm a brother, but confused? ”
Lin Yanchen said: "The minister thinks that no matter how much ordinary people fight, the land will be their own after all." ”
"What do you mean by that? Are you alluding to the fact that as long as this emperor is from the Bai family, anyone can do it? ”
"Don't dare!" Lin Yanchen said: "What the minister means is that if His Majesty can't monopolize the military power, it is better to let the prince be in charge of a part than to give it all to outsiders." The minister dared to say something disrespectful, if the people who held the military power in the future were reversed, the prince would always be less risky than outsiders. Of course, this is only the worst assumption, that is, there will be no rebellion, and the prince is better than outsiders after all. ”
Bai Yu saw Lin Yanchen mention Bai Que to speak, his eyes narrowed slightly, and said, "Then in your opinion, I should hand over the military power to Prince Rui?" ”
"You can't leave it all to the prince." Lin Yanchen would not be stupid enough to speak for Bai Que all the time, and said with a look of wholeheartedly thinking for Bai Yu on his face: "It's not that this brother has to settle accounts, according to the minister, Your Majesty can hand over part of the military power to the prince, and the rest, Your Majesty will be in charge of it himself or hand it over to others, so that it is best for that person and the prince to contain each other." ”
As soon as Lin Yanchen's words came out, Bai Yu dispelled his doubts, and after thinking about it carefully, Lin Yanchen's words were not unreasonable.
After the two of them discussed again, under the deliberate guidance of Lin Yanchen, Bai Yu divided the army into three, and he, Bai Que, and Zhou's father and son each controlled one-third.
Lin Yanchen persuaded Zhou An in advance, so that Bai Que would have two-thirds of the military power in his hands, which was enough!
When Lin Yanchen left, he saw Concubine Rong kneeling outside, waiting to intercede for the general protector, and when he saw Lin Yanchen coming out, he said with an unkind face: "What is your Excellency discussing with Your Majesty inside?" Are you discussing how to deal with Hongu's father? ”
Lin Yanchen didn't want to deal with her, but when he heard this, he just glanced at her lightly and said, "Niangniang, as a harem woman, there are some things that you should not take care of." ”
After that, I don't know whether it was intentional or unintentional: "I heard that the first queen was because of interfering in the affairs of the previous dynasty, and finally ended up with a bad death. ”
When he said this, Lin Yanchen's eyes looked at Concubine Rong with a little chill.
At that time, it was rumored that Meng Changning had a strange disease, and later some people said that Meng Changning committed suicide, but Lin Yanchen didn't believe it.
Later, Changge told him privately that at the beginning, it was Bai Yu who ordered someone to send a cup of poisoned wine to finish her off.
But through getting along with Bai Yu, Lin Yanchen vaguely felt that Bai Yu had a deep affection for Meng Changning, and occasionally unintentionally mentioned Meng Changning, Bai Yu would always be sad, and he might not have executed Meng Changning because of this incident.
However, these are just Lin Yanchen's guesses, the reason why he said this to Concubine Rong was just to test her.
Concubine Rong dodged Lin Yanchen's gaze and said coldly: "When the incident happened back then, the adults didn't know where it was, so they dared to say what would happen to this palace, they were too confident!" ”
Convinced of the guess in his heart, Lin Yanchen had no intention of talking to her quickly, but said: "What Niangniang said is true!" The minister didn't know what happened back then, but the minister knew that it would be useless for Niangniang to kneel for a long time now, so it was better to go back early, so as not to damage the fetus in the womb! ”
Lin Yanchen did not use the imperial heir to commensurate him, but fortunately, the anxious Concubine Rong did not pay attention to this. After Lin Yanchen left, she continued to kneel.
Concubine Rong knelt down for a few ministers, and in the middle of the night, Bai Yu still didn't see her, so she directly ordered someone to forcibly take her back to her residence.
After Lin Yanchen returned home, he told Changge about the situation in the palace, and Changge only said after hearing it: "Concubine Rong is now pregnant with a child, Bai Yu may not be able to stop her from begging bitterly, and she may not directly execute the general who protects the country." ”
Lin Yanchen said: "Sooner or later." ”
Changge said again: "When are you going to let Bai Yu know that the son in Concubine Rong's womb is not his?" ”
"Not yet, the lady doesn't have to bother with these things, just leave them to the husband."
After the two took off their coats, they hugged each other and lay on the bed, Changge leaned on Lin Yanchen's chest, closed his eyes lazily and said, "I don't worry about it, by the way, the medicine on my face is almost time again, and I want to get some again." ”
Lin Yanchen said: "If you wear this for a long time, will it not change after a long time?" ”
"Possibly." Changge deliberately asked, "Will you dislike me then?" ”
"Maybe ......"
"How dare you ?!!"
"Don't dare, don't dare." Lin Yanchen sighed, dropped a kiss between Changge's hair and said, "It's really getting more and more fierce, go to sleep." ”
After the two hugged each other and fell asleep, outside the house, Ji Feng, who was not far away, immediately went to report the situation to Bai Tan: "Princess, Xiangye is alone with that ugly monster again." ”
"This slut ......" Bai Tan Tie said with a blue face: "Continue to pay attention to her, I want to see, with me, can she marry Lin Yanchen?!" By the way, has Lin Changge's whereabouts been found? ”
"Never."
"It's useless! Keep looking!! ”
"Yes!"
After the monsoon retreated, Bai Tan was silent for a while, raised his hand, and waved the things on the dresser in front of him to the ground, and the bottles and cans fell to pieces in an instant!
Lin ChanggeLin Changge...... If it weren't for Lin Changge, Lin Yanchen wouldn't have always resisted her, she is here today because of that slut!!
Lin Changge, don't let me catch you......
