Chapter 222: The Contest Between Courtiers

Shen Shi glared at Su Moyue, "My daughter's family, why is she so vulgar in her speech?" ”

Su Moyue also knew that this was not good, so she shrunk her neck, "Isn't this for your good?" ”

Shen Shishu said again: "The prince really promised to solve this matter? ”

remembered that Zhou Yuqi once said that he had a good relationship with the emperor of Xiyue.

Or maybe he could really do him a big favor.

"Don't worry, the prince has even thought of a way, you just need to think of it yourself."

Shen Shishu lowered his head and thought about it, and couldn't help but show a slight smile on his face.

The study room in the outer courtyard of the king's mansion.

Zhou Shenxing sat behind the bookcase, and on the table was a map of the capital.

"Lord Wang, my subordinates have something to report." Outside the door, the voice of the guard commander Han Jian was heard.

"Come in."

After Han Jian came in, he said: "Lord Wang, the soldiers and horses of Qianzhou have arrived near Yunzhou, and General Zhenhai's 50,000 horses are also coming in the direction of the capital. ”

Zhou Shenxing looked at the map of the capital and said, "Go and tell the King of War and let his people contain Shen Ye." ”

"At this time, the king of war is in the capital, and he rashly clashed with the northern frontier, can the king of war agree?" Han Jian said.

Zhou Shenxing pondered for a moment and said, "Let his people disguise themselves as horse thieves and cause chaos at the border." As long as Shen Ye's army doesn't move, it's fine. ”

"Then what should we do in the capital? Part of the forbidden army was in the hands of King Jing, and part of it was in the hands of King Rong. The men and horses of the Xishan battalion have not returned to support the northern frontier, and there are not many of us. ”

Zhou Shenxing also knew Han Jian's concerns, which were also his concerns.

After a long silence, he said: "The king of Pingxi County is an old fox, he will not send troops. I'll go to find the King of Liao, if the King of Liao is willing to cooperate with us, it will be foolproof. ”

Han Jian's expression changed, "The prince forgot, His Royal Highness King Liao and King Yan have always walked close. He can't be from King Jing's faction, right? ”

Zhou Shenxing shook his head, "No, this kind of thing in the Liao Wangfu has always been clear." Zhou Chengyan is close to him, and it is also a relationship of interest. ”

Although it is unlikely to win over Lin Ziyu, Zhou Shenxing still wants to try.

If Lin Ziyu agrees to cooperate with him, he will be ninety percent sure of this matter.

This kind of thing, more than 50% sure, you can give it a go.

Besides, the Liao Wangfu has never been involved in this kind of thing, so even if Lin Ziyu refuses, he has no risk.

Lin Ziyu will not help each other at most, but he will never tell the truth.

After making up his mind, he instructed Han Jian to prepare the car, and he wanted to go to the Liao Wangfu in person.

When Zhou Shen arrived at the Liao Palace, Lin Ziyu was reading Liaodong's secret letter.

She has been away from Liaodong for a few months, and Liaodong sends her messages every few days, which contain the recent movements of Liaodong.

"Lord, His Royal Highness King Cheng asks to see you." Redsleeves said outside.

"Become a king? What is he here for? ”

Lin Ziyu wanted to say no, but then remembered the current situation in Beijing, and said, "Please go to the flower hall to wait for a while and watch the tea." ”

Redsleeves turned around and went to work.

Lin Ziyu's time was just right, and when she entered, Zhou Shenxing just sat down.

"See His Royal Highness King Cheng." Lin Ziyu stepped forward and saluted.

"The King of Liao is polite, this king came rashly today and disturbed him." Zhou Shenxing said.

"Your Highness is serious, but you can't invite you on weekdays." Lin Ziyu greeted politely while motioning to Zhou Shenxing to drink tea.

"Can you get used to living in Beijing? You're not in Liaodong, and the border city isn't ready to move, right? ”

In the blink of an eye, Zhou Shenxing's title to Lin Ziyu changed from the King of Liao to the virtuous brother.

Lin Ziyu didn't care either, and said with a light smile: "The emperor is mighty, so the border city is quite stable." ”

"My father is old, and he has been struggling to deal with political affairs recently. The dark tide is turbulent in the DPRK these days, and this king is also powerless. Zhou Shenxing sighed.

Lin Ziyu has been able to sit firmly in the position of the king of Liao for more than ten years, and he is naturally not a simple-minded person.

Listening to Zhou Shenxing's words, he probably guessed his intention.

At this time, hearing Zhou Shenxing say this, Lin Ziyu replied: "It stands to reason that the emperor is now at his age, and it is time to establish a prince." ”

Zhou Shenxing's expression lit up, and Lin Ziyu was willing to say this, which is a good thing.

He asked, "Oh? That virtuous brother thinks, who in the court can sit firmly in the East Palace? ”

Lin Ziyu shook his head and said, "Your Highness, don't be embarrassed for me, Your Highness knows, the Lin family has never been involved in these things." As long as Liaodong is peaceful. ”

Zhou Shenxing didn't give up, thought about it and said: "I see that the virtuous brother and my fifth brother are quite close, and the fifth brother's temperament, if he enters the East Palace, he can also serve the public." ”

Lin Ziyu took advantage of drinking tea, and his heart was full of thoughts.

Then he let out a sneer, "King Yan's character, if he becomes a prince, I am afraid that the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty will have to be imprisoned by him in the Imperial City Detective Division." ”

The corners of his mouth also revealed a faint mockery.

Although it was not obvious, Zhou Shenxing looked at it squarely.

"With the ability of the virtuous brother, a Liao king is a little condescending. The father is really old and confused, and he will stick to Liaodong with such a general. Zhou Shenxing continued to sigh.

Lin Ziyu looked stunned, there was a moment of unwillingness on his face, and in a blink of an eye, he returned to normal.

"The emperor is majestic and strategic, so he naturally has his ideas. As a courtier, Xiao Wang should put the emperor first. Lin Ziyu said a little reluctantly.

Zhou Shenxing thought to himself, Lin Ziyu was really young, and his mind was not firm.

If today's words were to Yuan Weizheng, the king of Pingxi County, Yuan Weizheng would be able to dismiss him with a bunch of words.

But Lin Ziyu is different, this is a little loose.

"Now it is the time to fish in troubled waters in Beijing, if the virtuous brother has other ideas, now is the time to make a difference." Zhou Shenxing continued to persuade.

"Your Highness, Xiao Wang is the heir of the Lin family, and the ancestral teachings of the Lin family dare not be forgotten, let alone disobeyed." Lin Ziyu rejected Zhou Shenxing.

Zhou Shenxing didn't say much more, the two said some interesting things in Beijing, and Zhou Shenxing left.

On the way back, Han Jian asked, "Lord Wang, is King Liao refusing?" ”

Zhou Shenxing sneered: "If he agrees, this king will be afraid, and it is not a bad thing to refuse at this time." ”

Although Han Jian didn't understand what his master meant, what his master said must be right.

After Zhou Shen left, Lin Ziyu wrote a letter to Zhou Chengyan and sent it out by the secret guard.

Early the next morning, the Qianyang Hall held a court meeting.

King Jing and King Yan worked together to impeach Lin Ziyu, the king of Liao.

There are things about the military and politics in Liaodong, and there are also dirty things about the Lin family in Beijing.

It's almost time to turn over the ugly things of the eight generations of the ancestors of the Lin family.

Emperor Yongping knew in his heart that these were just contests between courtiers.

It's just that since many things are on the table, he can't help but deal with them.

In the end, he scolded Lin Ziyu, and said that he was not strict in governing his family, and he was fined half a year.

Fines are small things, but big losses are big.

When Lin Ziyu went down, he looked at Zhou Yuqi and Zhou Chengyan coldly, and his eyes were cold.

Zhou Shenxing took two quick steps and said beside Lin Ziyu: "Don't take it to heart, the emperor will not be held accountable." ”

Lin Ziyu looked at Zhou Shenxing with a wry smile, "His Royal Highness King Cheng is really a problem for me, I haven't eaten fish, and I'm fishy." ”

Zhou Shenxing frowned, and then understood what was going on.

I think it was because he went to find Lin Ziyu and made Zhou Chengyan and Zhou Yuqi unhappy, so he began to impeach Lin Ziyu.

Zhou Shenxing couldn't help but feel happy in his heart, he was really sleepy and someone sent a pillow.

"Brother Xian, how about we go to my house for a drink?" Zhou Shenxing said beside Lin Ziyu.
