"There is a word called respectful and distancing, I don't know if His Highness understands its meaning. ”

Lao Lin explained: "After all, His Royal Highness the Great Prince is the eldest son of the Great Emperor Yan, if the treatment is the same or inferior to that of other princes, what will the major affiliated forces under the Great Yan Dynasty think? You must know that from the moment Emperor Yan became Emperor Yan, there were many forces that took the initiative to throw themselves into the arms of His Royal Highness the Great Prince, and these forces were all forces that Emperor Yan originally intended to purge. ”

"Do you mean that the father and the emperor just want to use the specialization of the eldest brother to stabilize the forces behind the eldest brother, and then slowly encroach on them step by step?" Lin Di's eyes lit up, as if he had an understanding.

"Not bad!"

Lao Lin nodded and said: "Most of the forces that have taken refuge in His Royal Highness the Great Prince have been the forces of the first prince Lin Qu, and after Emperor Yan ascended the throne, in order to stabilize the national fortune and people's hearts, he did not do anything to them, but this does not mean that Emperor Yan has a good impression of them in his heart, so what His Royal Highness has to do now is to make his position clear, and the dispute between the princes also has His Royal Highness!"

"Only in this way will Emperor Yan look at His Highness differently, Your Highness, please think about it, why among all the princes, only His Royal Highness, the eldest prince and the third prince are now qualified to participate in the battle of the crown prince?

"No!" Lao Lin said in a deep voice: "In the eyes of Emperor Yan, if the rest of the princes except the eldest prince are disqualified, then they can only choose the eldest prince, those princes who have given up do not understand Emperor Yan's thoughts, they think that withdrawing can avoid being involved in this whirlpool, but they don't know that doing so is in disguise to force the palace against Emperor Yan!"

"So what Emperor Yan hopes more is that the three princes and His Royal Highness who are still qualified to compete for the crown prince can stand up, and those princes who only care about themselves and retreat, they are no longer in Emperor Yan's heart. ”

Lao Lin's words made Lin Dark's heart full of pride, and he immediately took the case and said: "Okay! Since the eldest brother wants to become the prince or even the Yan Emperor as the prince, my eighth brother is also a prince, and this prince's position, whether it is for himself or for his father, I will fight!"

"Of course, it is not much use for His Highness to make up his mind, in the final analysis, the decision is still in the hands of Emperor Yan. ”

Lao Lin's words suddenly made Lin Dark's rising momentum suddenly wane, and Lin Dian said with a depressed face: "Then in this case, what are you telling me so much, anyway, in the end, it is my father's decision, as long as my father doesn't choose the eldest brother, it will be fine, and it will make my blood boil, like a fool!"

"Does Your Highness think that His Royal Highness the Great Prince would not think of this?" Lao Lin said meaningfully: "If His Royal Highness is His Royal Highness the Great Prince, what will His Highness do after knowing these circumstances?"

"Huh?"

As soon as Lao Lin said this, Lin Dian suddenly became interested and thought about it seriously.

After about a quarter of an hour, Lin Yan seemed to have thought of something but was a little unsure, and hesitated: "Whether it is in terms of strength or the final decision, the eldest brother does not have any advantage on his side, so the only thing that the eldest brother can do, and who can have a chance of winning, is only one thing." ”

"Forcing the palace!"

Lin Di slowly spit out these two words, and said with a gloomy face: "It's not a literal forced palace, but a disguised forced palace, just like Lao Lin, you said before, as long as there is no other prince other than the eldest brother who can participate in the competition for the crown prince's position, then the father can only choose the eldest brother, this is the forced palace from above, not from the force." ”

"And if you want to achieve the pressure on the palace, then the third brother and me, who are still qualified to compete for the position of the crown prince, have become the biggest obstacle for the eldest brother, that is to say, the eldest brother is going to attack me and the third brother?"

"His Royal Highness is really smart, a little bit is thorough, if His Royal Highness the Great Prince doesn't start, in terms of form, he will definitely die without a place to be buried. Lao Lin said, and then said with some doubts: "But His Highness seems to have hesitated a little in this deduction just now, but I don't know why?"

"Because I thought of two other possibilities. ”

Lin said in a dark voice: "In the final analysis, my father only tolerated those forces loyal to the eldest brother because he didn't want the national fortunes and people's hearts to be turbulent, and it doesn't mean that the father is really afraid of these so-called forces, but if the third brother and I are finally out, or if the father doesn't have the patience to wait any longer, then he may directly clean everything, and I'm afraid there will be a river of blood in the imperial capital!"

"As for the other possibility, that is, my ninth brother who is unknown in his life and death is unknown, although I can't imagine what things will turn out when the time comes, but I have a hunch that in the imperial capital, I am afraid that a big storm will be set off!"

Lao Lin looked at Lin Di with an embarrassed face, and in a trance, he seemed to see the Yan Emperor of the year, it was so similar, even the mentality and intelligence were about the same, looking at it, Lao Lin's eyes were faintly full of tears.

"Uh, why are you crying, did I say something wrong?" Lin Dian was taken aback by Lao Lin's reaction, why did he cry so well?

"What does His Highness Lin Liang think about it?" Lao Lin immediately returned to his original appearance, and said in a deep voice: "The matter of His Highness going to Yongfuxuan yesterday must have reached the ears of the eldest prince now, presumably the eldest prince's side must have already checked Lin Liang's identity now." ”

"It's useless. ”

Lin smiled bitterly: "Lin Liang's identity is honestly what can be found is not qualified to enter the Yongfu Xuan at all, the reason why I care about Lin Liang is that he once saved me, and I am friends with him, and secondly, because a jade pendant on his body has something to do with his father, and the last time my father summoned me, he specially asked Lin Liang." ”

"His Royal Highness wanted to find out the relationship between that jade pendant and Emperor Yan, so after learning the news that Lin Liang had come to the imperial capital, he hurriedly ran to see him, right?"

"Yes. ”

"Did His Highness ask him?"

"No, Lin Liang seemed to be aware that someone was following him, and he was very cautious, and I didn't show up as my real identity, so naturally I wouldn't speak rashly, I didn't see it long that day, and I found that there were still people staring outside Yongfu Xuan, so I came back directly. Lin smiled bitterly: "At that time, I thought it was my subordinates who made their own decisions, but I didn't expect that there were other people who were also eyeing Lin Liang." ”

"In that case, let me give Your Highness an idea. ”

Lao Lin thought for a while and said: "Although I haven't seen Lin Liang, and I don't know his identity, but it can be seen from His Highness's description that this person is extremely cautious, and his intention in running to Yongfuxuan is to lure out the people who are following him, but I didn't expect His Highness to appear, and those people are still hiding in the dark." Therefore, the next time His Highness meets Lin Xiang, it is better to be frank and straightforward. ”

"What do you mean?" Lin said with a frown, vaguely guessing what Lao Lin meant.

Lao Lin nodded and said: "Although I don't know if it's because His Royal Highness went to meet Lin Liang in person, all in all, now in the eyes of the eldest prince or other forces, Lin Liang is already a person of His Royal Highness, if it goes on like this, no matter how His Highness hides his identity, Lin Liang will be aware sooner or later, and at that time, Lin Liang will have a mustard in his heart, and for His Royal Highness, I am afraid that the gains outweigh the losses." Therefore, His Royal Highness simply told His Highness Lin Liang's identity directly and asked him to help. ”

"But what if he doesn't?"

"He'll be willing. Lao Lin said with a smile: "Your Highness only needs to let Lin Liang know that His Highness is facing the same threat as him at the moment, he is a smart man, he knows very well how to choose is the best, in this imperial capital, it is better to have a prince by his side to help, than to fight alone." ”

"What does the same threat mean?"

"His Royal Highness the Great Prince. Lao Lin explained: "Since His Royal Highness has thought of forcing the palace with power before, how could the eldest prince not think of it? If you want to force the palace with power, the first thing to deal with is His Royal Highness and His Royal Highness the Third Prince, His Royal Highness the Third Prince is obsessed with martial arts, in contrast, His Royal Highness the Great Prince will definitely choose to live in a simple place first, but no matter how you look at it, it looks like Your Highness who is obscure." ”

"Of course, His Royal Highness the Great Prince will not deal with His Highness directly, that will arouse the vigilance of His Royal Highness the Third Prince, so the best way is to cut off the forces of His Highness's subordinates first, as well as people who have a relationship with His Highness, such as Lin Liang. ”

Hearing this, Lin Yan was speechless for a while, although he admitted that what Lao Lin said was very reasonable, but Lin Yan still felt a little unhappy in his heart, he was obviously living in simplicity because he didn't want to jump into the whirlpool of competing for the prince, how could he become Taoguang Yang obscurity when he got to Lao Lin's mouth?

But if he is unhappy, Lin Dian is still very grateful to have Lao Lin by his side to help him give advice, but suddenly Lin Dian thought of another situation, and said with some hesitation: "But what if Lin Liang runs away to the eldest brother?

"It's a possibility. Lao Lin frowned and thought for a while, and said: "But I think this is impossible, His Royal Highness may not know the eldest prince, the eldest prince looks gentle and elegant on the surface, and he is kind to everyone, but in fact, the eldest prince is extremely domineering, and he is suspicious, he had an old royal realm martial artist with the third prince and ran to join the eldest prince, but in the end he was thrown to the border of the Tianqi Mountain Range, as long as Lin Liang knew this, he would not choose the eldest prince." ”

"Then how can I get closer to Lin Liang?" Lin asked after thinking about it.

Hearing this, Lao Lin suddenly smiled, and said: "This is easy, Lin Liang is also a martial artist, for a martial artist, what is the purpose of joining the forces? Cultivation resources, His Highness only needs to provide Lin Liang with the cultivation resources he needs, and as far as I know, there will be an auction in the imperial capital in the near future, Your Highness might as well ......"
