The next day, after the eclipse of Chen, the entire Qinjing sky sounded with earth-shaking snare drums and desolate and heavy horns.

Then, the people of Guangyang and Kaiyang witnessed the spectacular picture of the mighty army leaving the city.

At the same time, the Forbidden City, in the Xingqing Palace.

Zhao Xin had just eaten Chen Shi with Liu Muzhi, who had just entered the palace to report the situation.

dined together, as well as Lin Yuchen, who had just been brought back to the capital by Yuhuatian overnight.

To be honest, Lin Yuchen was originally resistant to the emperor, even if the emperor sent Yuhuatian to save him, he still had resistance in his heart.

It's inevitable.

Although the Lin family tragedy was said to be caused by the Cui family's frame-husbandry, was the emperor not responsible?

And the current emperor is the son of the former emperor after all, so it is strange that there is no resistance.

But when Zhao Xin patted him on the shoulder, sighed and said, "I deeply hate me and Qing for sixteen years of late life, otherwise such a tragedy would never have happened", the resistance in Lin Yuchen's heart involuntarily loosened.

Then, the emperor invited him to dine with him very casually, and during the banquet, he did not shy away from talking about the Cui family with Liu Muzhi, Yuhuatian and others, and did not avoid him at all.

Unconsciously, Lin Yuchen didn't realize that he had changed from resistance, vigilance, and observation to listening.

During this period, Liu Muzhi also naturally talked about Liu Zhi's description of Cui Cen.

When he heard Cui Cen, the anger in Lin Yuchen's chest couldn't help but rise again.

It makes people short of breath, chest tightness, and heart fire.

However, in front of the emperor, he still tried to endure it.

It's just that the food in the mouth becomes a little tasteless.

He subconsciously looked at the emperor, he wanted to know what the emperor would say and how he would choose.

But the emperor seemed to feel something, and he actually turned his head to look at him, and asked with a smile, "Lin Qing, what do you think?"

Lin Yuchen didn't expect the emperor to ask himself, and he couldn't help but be stunned.

Then he said silently: "Your Majesty, the little people dare not speak. ”

"It doesn't matter. ”

Zhao Xin smiled slightly, and said casually: "This is not the court, just talking in private, you can try to say it." ”

In this way, the little people were emboldened. ”

Lin Yuchen stood up and bowed his hand.

Zhao Xin waved his hand, "Sit down and say, it's all said, you don't have to be polite when you talk in private." ”

"Whoa!"

Lin Yuchen sat down again as he said, and then turned sideways and arched his hand to the palace and said, "Your Majesty, in the eyes of Xiaomin, ...... it"

Lin Yuchen took a deep breath lightly, and then continued: "Then what Liu Zhi said should not be all lies, if they are all lies, with the ability of gentlemen, they will not be able to distinguish it."

But when the old thief Cui Cen said this to Liu Zhi, he may not be sincere, maybe he had expected that Mr. Mu Zhi and other gentlemen would contact Liu Zhi, so he deliberately took care of the confusion to confuse His Majesty.

If the Cui family really wanted to retreat, how could they dare to murder that Feng Shaoqing, if it weren't for His Majesty's expectation, Feng Shaoqing and his clansmen would have followed in the footsteps of my Lin family!

Such a madness......"

Halfway through his speech, he suddenly realized that his tone was a little out of control, and quickly stopped and glanced at the emperor.

Seeing that the emperor just looked at him with a smile and didn't seem to care, he bowed his head again and said, "Your Majesty forgives me, and the little people were angry for a while."

However, Xiaomin still hopes that His Majesty will recognize the sinister face of the Cui family and not be confused by it. ”

Zhao Xin smiled, nodded and said: "It's okay, Aiqing is a little angry in the face of a deep hatred in the sea of blood, if I am indifferent, then I really have to doubt my vision of people." ”

"But ......"

Zhao Xin's smile was slightly retracted, and he looked at Lin Yuchen with a dark gaze and said, "Does Aiqing know what I think?"

Lin Yuchen breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that the emperor had no intention of blaming.

Hearing this, he couldn't help but look up and secretly glanced at the emperor.

saw that the emperor slowly left his seat, and slowly walked out of the pavilion where everyone was dining with his hands behind his back.

Outside the pavilion is a water pavilion, which is the season when the lotus flowers are different from the red of the sun.

The emperor stood by the water pavilion with his hands on the railing, his back to the crowd, and he couldn't see his expression clearly.

I only heard the emperor's fingers gently tap on the railing and said: "In my opinion, it is true that the Cui family is mad, Cui Cen is already angry, and it is also true that he has the intention of retreating."

This is not contradictory, nor is it surprising, there are countless examples of this throughout the ages.

The reason for this is nothing more than that there is no hope of success, and that confidence has been hit, and that they want to retreat bravely. ”

This kind of thing is really nothing difficult for Zhao Xin to understand.

In the history of Huaxia in the previous life, it looked like this, and it was simply not too much for outsiders to understand.

The more famous ones are Wei Zhongxian.

Speaking of power, nine thousand years old is no worse than Cui Cen, but when the matter comes, everyone knows that if he retreats, he will definitely die.

Normally, even if you die at this time, you have to pull a cushion, right?

This nine-thousand-year-old suddenly coaxed, and actually took the initiative to give up power and began to beg Chongzhen for mercy.

There is also Dong Zhuo of the Eastern Han Dynasty, who holds a large army and arbitrarily deposes the emperor, and the Liangzhou army under his command does not intimidate the princes of the Eighteen Roads, and it really has the potential to sweep the world.

But after arriving in Chang'an, he actually chose to build for himself for Meiwu, and shrank up, ignoring the general trend outside.

Even Wang Yun and a few others were tossing around blindly below, turning a blind eye.

The reason is nothing more than realizing that he can't win the hearts of the people as an emperor, and he doesn't have a reliable heir, and then he loses his heart.

Look at the current situation of Cui Cen, how similar.

In fact, since Zhao Xin put the Queen Mother under house arrest, cut off Wang Jin, and took charge of the inner court, but Cui Cen and the Cui family did not move, Cui Cen's defeat has been decided.

It's just that at that time, Cui Cen and the Cui family also chose to use the so-called protégés and former officials, and the power leaned towards the government and the opposition to paralyze themselves and deceive themselves.

And the rest of the government and the opposition also did not dare to act rashly because of the Cui family's prestige.

It wasn't until Feng Zhong, a stunned young man, scolded that everyone suddenly discovered that the Cui family was nothing more than a paper tiger.

Cui Cen also suddenly realized that the emperor had not only mastered the inner court, but also the outer court.

And his so-called protégés and former officials were scolded by a stunned young man, and their hearts were scattered!

Except for a few people, most of them didn't dare to go up to fight.

Cui Cen suddenly came to his senses.

Once he comes to his senses, with a powerful traitor like Cui Cen, I am afraid that many things will be understood.

In this case, he wanted to make the emperor concede, which was tantamount to a pipe dream.

At the same time, I am afraid that I will also find out that my two sons are also straw bales.

The future is unclear, and there is no successor.

If you don't feel cold, and you don't have the intention of retreating, then Cui Cen is not Cui Cen.

"But Yuchen is right about one thing, what he told Mu Zhi through Liu Zhi's mouth is probably showing his heart to me, or is it a threat, right?"

"But ......"

When Zhao Xin said this, he suddenly turned around and looked at everyone, including Lin Yuchen, and said coldly: "I want to tell him that if you want to retreat, I won't allow it!"

"He retreats if he wants, who does he think he is?"

"If he wants to retreat, he can retreat, how can he retreat from the 1,376 blood feuds of the Lin family?"

"He retreats if he wants to, the hundred officials who were oppressed by him, and the loyal and good who were framed by him...... To whom should I seek justice?"

"Still dead and broken, is he worthy?!"
