Chapter Ninety-Eight: Imperial Power
The scene changed again, Lin Yun sat on the bench with a blank face, his thin body was still trembling slightly, next to his mother Jiang Ling and father Lin Beichen, their family of three was in an elegantly furnished room. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
"Oh no, Yang Cheng sent the Qiankun Dragon Guard, they broke through the Xiangfu Phantom Cracking Tiangang Array and were about to rush in. A hurried man's voice sounded outside the door, accompanied by countless shouts of killing.
Zhou Xuanzong Yang Cheng finally made a move against the Jiang family, sending 100,000 imperial city guards, three layers inside and three layers outside the Xiangfu to block the water, and the Xiangfu within a radius of ten miles were set as a military forbidden area, where all the people were forcibly evacuated, and set up a large array, and sent the most elite Qiankun Longwei in the palace to prepare to completely eliminate the Jiang family.
The Jiang family has a thousand-year-old family with a profound heritage and many hole cards, even in the face of 100,000 Praetorian Guards, as well as the strongest sword of imperial power, Qiankun Longwei, they still insist on defense and kill all those who dare to enter the Prime Minister's Mansion.
"Beichen, please, help my dad quickly, I'm afraid,,, I'm really scared. Jiang Ling had tears in his eyes, and looked at Lin Beichen with some begging eyes, although the Jiang family has a deep heritage, they are like clouds.
But in the face of Qiankun Longwei and the 100,000 Praetorian Guards, it is obviously impossible to resist hard, and Lin Beichen is one of the top ten generals of the Great Zhou, a strong man in the Nirvana Realm, a sword path cultivator, and a terrifying ghost god, if he helps, although he still can't turn the tide of the battle, but there is also a glimmer of hope for breaking through.
"Ling'er, we can't meddle in this matter, otherwise the consequences are not something we can bear, even the Lin family can't. Lin Beichen showed deep helplessness on his face, hugging the crying Jiang Ling, although he is the son-in-law of the Jiang Mansion, but he is also a member of the Lin family, once he makes a move, then make a stand, and the Lin family will also be implicated.
"Beichen, what are we going to do? I can't watch my father die. As the daughter of a great family, she deeply understands Zhou Tianzi's determination to destroy the Jiang family this time, and she also understands this kind of thing, if anyone comes out, then he is not far from death.
On the one hand, her father who has raised her for many years, and on the other hand, her husband who raises her eyebrows and respects each other like guests, she doesn't know how to choose.
"Ling'er, there are some things that we can't interfere in. Lin Beichen hugged Jiang Ling's hands harder, and there were bursts of helplessness in his heart, even if he became a strong man in the Nirvana Realm, practicing swords into his heart, integrating human swords and swords, dominating the world, invincible, but in the face of the Great Zhou Imperial Power, he still sighed.
As long as he makes a move, the Lin family will be wiped out, even if he escapes from the capital with his cultivation, what can he do.
Under the whole world, it is not the king's land. On the shore of the land, it is not the king's minister.
He can escape there, and he will also take Lin Yun and Jiang Ling with him, and the imperial power is supreme, unless he can leave the Great Zhou, go to a foreign country, or flee to the Eastern Wilderness, but in this way, it is equivalent to dying in the world for the rest of his life.
The battle in Xiangfu lasted for three days before it slowly quieted down.
Lin Yun left the wing room with his parents, shuttling through the corridor of the courtyard of the Xiangfu, and everywhere he could see a corpse with horizontal and vertical bodies, these corpses were men and women, old and young, some of the Jiang family's relatives, and some of the maids and guards of the Xiangfu.
And you can see the Janissaries in armor, shuttling in groups of three or five in the Prime Minister's Mansion, they kill people when they see them, regardless of men, women and children, if they don't see Lin Beichen there, I'm afraid they will also rush up and kill Lin Yun and Jiang Ling.
"The emperor has decreed, the traitor Jiang Angran and his sworn party have been ambushed, and everyone in Jiang's mansion surrenders immediately, otherwise they will be killed. A duck male voice sounded in the Prime Minister's Mansion, although the voice was hoarse, but it was very clear and penetrating, resounding throughout the Prime Minister's Mansion.
"What? Father was actually ,,," Jiang Ling heard this voice, he wanted to cry without tears, his eyes were dark, his body fell to the ground, and Lin Beichen on the side hurriedly supported Jiang Ling.
It's just that he didn't notice that at this moment, Lin Yun's face had slowly faded with horror, and his face was surprisingly calm, not like the expression that a teenager should have.
Lin Yun's eyes scanned the corpses on the ground, and he looked at the soldiers who were like robbers, regardless of men, women, old and young, who killed people on sight.
With the destruction of the Jiang Mansion, the matter did not end there, followed by a great purge, those families who had anything to do with the Jiang Mansion were raided and destroyed, and the children of Jiang Angran's disciples were implicated, killed, and exiled.
A bloody storm blew across the government and the opposition, and the number of officials directly or indirectly implicated reached 30,000, accounting for almost one-third of the proportion of officials in the Great Zhou Dynasty.
The world says that Zhou Tianzi is benevolent, but it is not necessarily, treating Jiang Mansion, it shows an iron and bloody hand, even if Jiang Mansion has made outstanding contributions to the establishment of the Great Zhou, but as long as the imperial power is uneasy, it will be cleared by iron and blood.
In the struggle between the imperial power and the prime minister's power, it finally ended with the complete victory of the imperial power, and after that, the Great Zhou Dynasty no longer had the post of prime minister, and the prime minister's affairs were directly represented by the emperor.
The emperor's mental tricks, the ups and downs of officialdom, life and death, are like a dream.
The Jiang family was destroyed, and the prime minister Jiang Angran was killed, which caused a shock in the Great Zhou court, and also made Lin Yun's mother and son's status in the Lin family change abruptly.
Jiang Ling was killed because his family was destroyed and his father was killed, and after returning to the Lin family, he couldn't afford to get sick, and he became ill, and finally left west, leaving Lin Yun, who was only eleven years old.
Soon after, the Southern Barbarians invaded, and in order to get rid of the emperor's suspicions, Lin Beichen led his troops south to fight against the Southern Barbarians, and finally defeated the Southern Barbarian Alliance, but he was also ordered by the emperor to guard the southern frontier for a long time.
In this way, Lin Yun was left alone in the Hou Mansion, Lin Yun, who lost the Jiang family, lost his mother, and was far away from his father, became more and more unpopular in the Lin family, was often bullied, and some people even publicly scolded Lin Yun as "waste".
Lin Yun never cared about these ignorance and abuse, as well as white eyes, his mind was far beyond his peers, and his heart was strong and cold, all humility and weakness were deliberately shown by him,
Because he deeply understands that raising his head requires confidence, and even if he lifts his head without confidence, he will be stepped on by others with his feet again, so why bother to be insulted and simply bow his head and hide.
And only if they are weak and incompetent, can they make others relax their guard and think that Lin Yun has no threat, otherwise, like Mrs. Wang and others, once they find that Lin Yun has great ambitions or has a certain possibility of growing up, I am afraid that they will strangle Lin Yun in the cradle.
Therefore, everything that Lin Yun had shown before was a last resort, and his heart was already as solid and cold as a thousand years of ice.
Despite this, in the deepest part of Lin Yun's heart, his father is still synonymous with warmth and safety, every time Lin Beichen comes back from southern Xinjiang, he will bring Lin Yun a lot of southern Xinjiang specialties, and their father-son relationship has always been very good.
In fact, in the deepest part of Lin Yun's heart, the memory of his mother Jiang Ling is far less than that of his father Lin Beichen, when he was a child, Lin Yun was taken care of by the nurse, and he ate the mother's milk, Jiang Ling spent more time on piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and rarely had time to accompany Lin Yun.
And Jiang Ling is not like Lin Beichen, he often takes Lin Yun around to play, fly kites together, cook together, tell stories to Lin Yun, and broaden his horizons. Jiang Ling taught Lin Yun the etiquette of the family and supervised Lin Yun's reading, Lin Yun is different from other families, his family is a loving father and strict mother.
Therefore, the father's love that Lin Yun felt in his heart was far greater than his mother's love, and he still stayed in the Lin family, endured ignorance, abuse, and white eyes, but he had no complaints in his heart, just because there was something he cherished and cared about the most - father's love.
It can be said that Lin Beichen is everything to Lin Yun, the closest person to Lin Yun, and the person who Lin Yun is most trustworthy and feels safe.
