Chapter 32

The palace banquet was in progress, and Lin Yan had been thinking about how to deal with King Ning, and not to be discovered by Yang Liuyu and Yang Qingyu's new talent. She tapped her fingers on the table while looking at King Ning's side, where Yang Liuyu and Yang Qingyu's banquet table was on King Ning's right hand.

Lin Yan looked over there for a long time, and King Ning also noticed that he was very disdainful when he saw that a beautiful woman on the other side was always looking at him. He is the prince of Ning, and he is crowned king, and he has long been accustomed to being surrounded by beauties, so he has always been very indifferent to any beauty who wants to climb his big tree, because as soon as he makes a move, countless beauties will flock to him.

Although King Ning was very disdainful of Lin Yan, it was also very strange, because the eyes of this beauty were completely different from those of other beauties, and the eyes of other beauties were shy and timid, but the eyes of this beauty were naked, as if they were bound to win, which was really curious.

So, King Ning sneered at Lin Yan: "Hey, you woman is so shameless, why do you always stare at this king, if you look at it again, this king won't want you, you can save your worries." After saying that, King Ning laughed a few times, and was very rude to Lin Yan.

Lin Yan didn't get angry, it seems that he really can't let this Ning King be the emperor, if he becomes the emperor, he will definitely be a tyrant, arrogant and rude, shameless, if this Ning King is made the emperor, the people of the Qi country will definitely be miserable.

Emperor Ning saw that King Ning was so rude to Lin Yan, and he was also very dissatisfied, this was simply not in his eyes as the emperor at all, Lin Yan was a guest of Emperor Ning, not to be entertained by King Ning.

Not only was Emperor Xuan dissatisfied with King Ning, but Situ Qingfeng and everyone in Situ Mansion were also very dissatisfied with King Ning, and Black Starling Brother Li Yan and Brother Hei were even more angry with King Ning, so Lin Yan continued to look at King Ning and said: "King Ning, there are some things that can be said, but there are some things that cannot be said, do you know? King Ning, you are too arrogant. ”

Lin Yan's words made the hall calm down for a while, especially those officials who were in the same line as King Ning, and they all felt that Lin Yan's words had something to say. Although Lin Yan is from the rivers and lakes, almost all the officials of the Manchu Dynasty know her, because of Situ Mingyue and the Qi Mansion, Lin Yan's name is already known to them.

But today, Lin Yan actually mocked the current King of Ning in front of so many people, and ridiculed King Ning for being arrogant, which must mean something else, not only these officials of the King Ning family think so, but even Emperor Ning and other officials think so.

The other officials didn't know what to think, but Emperor Xuan must have thought so, he thought that Lin Yan said that King Ning was arrogant, and he must have meant that King Ning wanted to rebel, but he didn't have the strength. When Emperor Kai thought so, he also felt very happy in his heart, this Lin Yan was really bold.

When King Ning heard Lin Yan say this about him, he immediately shouted: "You really deserve to die, this king wants to cut you with a thousand knives." ”

Lin Yan immediately laughed when she heard this, and she said provocatively to King Ning: "King Ning, you are wrong about this, the punishment of a thousand knives is not something that can be sentenced casually, it must be a major crime of treason to be sentenced, you can't just impose it on someone else." Think about it, for example, if you commit the great crime of rebellion, how many knives should you cut with your body?"

King Ning was stunned when he heard this, and the hall was even more silent, this Lin Yan was simply too bold, she continued to provoke King Ning like this, isn't she afraid that King Ning will really kill her like this?

After King Ning was stunned, he was suddenly furious, he jumped up, and then rushed towards Lin Yan, just two steps away, he held his head and yelled, and suddenly fell to the ground, rolled on the ground a few times, and then stopped moving.

King Ning's actions frightened everyone, and when they saw that King Ning was no longer rolling, they quickly and cautiously surrounded him, and they gently pushed King Ning, but King Ning still did not move.

Seeing this, Lin Yan deliberately said, "Could it be that King Ning is angry and angry, and he is angry with himself?"

When everyone heard this, they also felt that it made sense, so the ministers of King Ning's family asked the emperor to summon the imperial doctor to come to diagnose and treat him, and see what was going on with King Ning?

Emperor Hao listened to the opinions of those ministers, and then quietly looked at Lin Yan, only to see that Lin Yan was also looking at him, and also winked at him twice, and immediately felt relieved, so he waved his sleeves: "Pass the imperial doctor." ”

The imperial doctor arrived, and after the imperial doctor's diagnosis and treatment, King Ning was already weak and could not be saved. The imperial doctor's words surprised the civil and military forces in the palace, but they were also clear, and the ministers of the emperor's family were very happy, and they didn't have to worry about King Ning's rebellion anymore;

Emperor Ning is even more happy, King Ning's henchman has been cleared, and now the crisis of King Ning is gone, so there is no need to work for the people and consume money, but King Ning is gone, but he still has a son and a fief, which is also a headache, if his son has the same mind as King Ning, it will also be a trouble. Thinking of this, Emperor Qi couldn't help but look at Lin Yan again.

Lin Yan saw Emperor Kai looking at herself again, her expression was not relaxed, and she thought it was very strange at first, but after thinking about it again, she understood that this King Ning must have a son, maybe there are still a lot of sons, but I haven't seen it today, and they may all stay in King Ning's fiefdom, it seems that this King Ning is also guarding against Emperor Ning.

Okay, save people to the end, send the Buddha to the west, see the virtue of King Ning, those sons he raised may not be good people, King Ning has the heart of rebellion, presumably his sons also know, now although King Ning is abolished, but what if his sons also learn from King Ning to rebel? If that is the case, the Kingdom of Ning will still suffer from war and chaos, in this case, then the best way now is to cut the feudal domain, cut off the fief of King Ning, and let the sons of King Ning return to the capital to support their old age.

After Lin Yan thought about it, she just snorted and said: "This King Ning is really too angry, no manners, no virtue, no cultivation, just think that he is the prince and can do whatever he wants? Looking at King Ning's behavior, I think King Ning's sons will also follow suit, Lao Tzu is like this, sons, I don't think it's much better, it seems that the people in King Ning's fiefdom must be living a very hard life, are you aware of these things, Your Majesty?"

When Emperor Hao heard this, he couldn't help but nod and said: "Lin Yan, the things you said are indeed there, the people in King Ning's fiefdom are indeed very difficult, and there are people who have gone to the capital to sue the emperor before." ”

When Lin Yan heard this, she didn't continue to say when she saw that Emperor Hao, so she couldn't help but ask, "Have you sued the emperor?"

Emperor Qi smiled helplessly and said, "At that time, my father was in power, and in the end, it was gone. ”

Lin Yan nodded, and then said to Emperor Hao, "Then the emperor, are you going to stop it now?"

Emperor Qi immediately said: "Naturally not, as long as someone sues the emperor, I will definitely investigate it to the end." ”

Lin Yan couldn't help but laugh when she heard this: "What about the imperial order, I think, the people in the fiefdom of King Ning are all scared of your father and King Ning, who dares to sue the emperor, the officials protect each other, the emperor protects each other, they are afraid of the long life before they go to the capital to sue the emperor." ”

Emperor Kai listened to Lin Yan's words, and was silent, King Ning's arrogance was also the fault of the previous emperor, but he couldn't say it, he could only sigh.

Lin Yan's words not only silenced Emperor Hao, but also the civil and military ministers in the hall were also silent, the incident of suing King Ning was very sensational, and many people died, in addition to ordinary people, there were also some upright ministers. This matter has been listed as a forbidden thing in the country, and no one has dared to mention it for a long time, but when it is mentioned today, the past of the year is vividly remembered at once, and those people are really tragic.

Lin Yan saw that Emperor Qi was silent, but his face was very sad, and he couldn't help but secretly say: This Emperor is really good, he deserves to be a Ming Jun, how can he do it if he doesn't help him.

Lin Yan then said to Emperor Ning: "Your Majesty, it's not me Lin Yan who is troublesome, you also saw the arrogant and rude appearance of King Ning just now, the upper line and the lower effect, King Ning is like this, then most of his sons and subordinates are also like this, in this way, even if King Ning is gone, but if his sons inherit the throne, the people on the fiefdom are still living in dire straits, and the emperor is too long to control them." I suggest that the emperor keep the title of King Ning, but take back the fief, recall the sons of King Ning back to the capital to teach well, and let the masters teach them to learn etiquette and love the people, and when they learn well, how about giving them the fief?"

When Emperor Kai heard Lin Yan's words, he was really happy in his heart, it was like the flowers were blooming, but he couldn't show it on his face, so he pretended to be embarrassed and said to Lin Yan: "This is not appropriate, a prince has no fief, this is really unreasonable, this will be gossiped by people all over the world." ”

Lin Yan smiled and said: "Gossip, Your Majesty, are you still less gossip by people in the world? King Ning's father and son are cruel and unkind, and the emperor does not restrain and punish him, so people will blame the emperor in addition to cursing King Ning's father and son, as the saying goes, a rat poop spoils a pot of soup, and a thousand miles of embankment is destroyed in an anthill." This is not just gossip, after a long time, the soup will be poured out, the dam will collapse, and the country is like this soup and this dam. ”

Lin Yan's words touched the heart of Emperor Kai and touched the hearts of everyone. As a result, King Ning was cut down, the fief was recovered, and only the title of King Ning was retained, which was also a warning to other vassal kings, the throne belonged to the kingdom, and the fief belonged to the kingdom.
