Chapter 113: The Yin Wind Rises and the Heir Tries to Change
Chapter 113 King Jing came to the door to ask for the guilt, and the yin wind rose to plot against the prince
The next day, Li Yunhan returned to Zhiyuan and rested for more than half a day before feeling refreshed. He called Mama Buckwheat to the house and said solemnly: "Xiao Nan is very smart, and it is the time to read and write. For the sake of his future, I want to send Xiao Nan to Wang Jie as an adopted son. β
"Master Shi has passed away, his family has left, and only we can help him." Mama Qiao was quite sad when she heard this, but she also knew that this move was beneficial to Xiao Nan's growth, she pondered for a while and asked, "Then, is Wang Jie willing?" β
"Hmm; He has no children under his knees, and Miss Lou can't have children due to injuries, so having Xiao Nan by his side is somewhat comforting. β
Mama Qiao nodded when she heard this, her eyes wet with tears, and said, "Alas, as soon as I heard that he was leaving, I was really reluctant." β
"Let Xiao Nan go alone; If you think about him in the future, you can visit him at any time. Li Yunhan couldn't help but feel a little sad, and choked up, "Completing this matter can be regarded as an explanation to Lord Shi......
Unexpectedly, the conversation between the two was overheard by Shi Nan, who was standing outside the door. He was so sad that he turned and ran into the woodroom, closed the door, and crouched in the corner and wept.
After Li Yunhan finished explaining to Mama Buck, he wanted to get up and explain the situation to Shi Nan, but suddenly heard the sound of talking in the courtyard. When he looked up, he saw King Jing entering the house angrily with Ai Yun and two guards.
Li Yunhan hurriedly bowed deeply and said, "Your Highness is just right, and I want to make amends to you." β
"Make amends," King Jing sneered, "Mr. has played a big game of chess, and even this king has become a chess piece, which you play with at will." β
"Your Highness forgives the sin, and the minister was forced to make this decision......"
"You don't have to explain." King Jing interrupted and said, "This king has already seen that you and the East Palace have colluded in advance and deliberately lured this king to the bait. β
"Your Highness forgives your sins. Lin Fu is tyrannical and lawless and corrupts the dynasty, such a traitorous villain, everyone will be punished; His Royal Highness Hongyi is generous and understands righteousness, and he wants to eliminate traitors for the people of the world, so why should he not go? β
"What a clever tongue!" King Jing had a gloomy face, "That's right, in the eyes of Mr., he is a traitor; But in the eyes of this king, he is just a courtier, at least he still supports this king. But at the moment, Lin Xiang was dismissed, and the imperial brother undoubtedly became the biggest winner, and what did this king get? β
"Your Highness's high festival and fresh breeze have gained the hearts of the people and the turning point of the gloom of Qing Dynasty politics." Li Yunhan smiled slightly, "After this incident, Your Majesty will definitely pay more attention to you, and you are one step closer to the position of the prince." β
"Really?" King Jing sneered, "If it's really as Mr. said, then it would be good." β
"Also, presenting the secret letter to Your Majesty will also make him wake up and take precautions against Chu Mohan." Li Yunhan continued.
"Hmph, it's Chu Mohan again." King Jing became angry when he landed, "You don't want to use this to deceive this king again!" β
"Your Highnessβ"
"Sir doesn't know," Ai Yun coughed dryly, "Your Majesty is very displeased with the secret letter, and has ordered King Jing to go to the East China Sea to inspect it." β
"Inspect the East China Sea," Li Yunhan's body trembled, "this ......"
"So far, don't you understand the good intentions of His Royal Highness King Jing?" Ai Yun looked lonely, "The reason why he is like this is, in the final analysis, is to get Mr." β
Li Yunhan bowed his head slightly when he heard this, and said gently: "I know that I am wrong." β
King Jing thought that he had been moved, so he softened his tone and said: "Mr. and the East Palace are constantly colluding, and this king can endure it again and again because of his old feelings, and I beg Mr. not to make any more mistakes!" β
Li Yunhan saluted again and said, "Your Highness's great grace, Yunhan is grateful; It's just that I don't have a career in the next place, please forgive me. β
"Duplicity." King Jing stared at him and asked, "Then why did you make Hanlin?" β
Li Yunhan smiled and said, "It's just a coincidence." Now that Lin Fu has fallen, if he sees His Majesty in the future, Yun Han will definitely ask him to resign in person. β
King Jing stared at him with suspicion for a while, snorted and turned away; When he walked to the door, he turned his head and said solemnly: "I advise Mr. to stay away from the East Palace as soon as possible; Otherwise, Hugh blames the king for being ruthless! β
With that, King Jing brushed his sleeves away.
Li Yunhan followed out the door a few steps, looking at King Jing's distant back and feeling guilty. He stood silently in the cold wind for a long time, tears quietly moistening his eyes.
Back in his study, he meditated alone for a while; The past events with King Jing appeared in front of him...... Although he was deeply remorseful, whenever he thought of the righteousness of the society, he had to give up his friendship again and again, and chose deception and hypocrisy......
When Miaojin arrived at Zhiyuan, after listening to what Yun Han said, he couldn't help but sigh: "Alas, in order to save me, even King Jing was offended this time." β
"Yes, I owe King Jing this favor, and I will pay it back no matter what I want in the future." Li Yunhan eased his senses and said, "I thought that I could kill two birds with one stone, not only to make Your Majesty vigilant, to prevent Chu thieves from plotting rebellion, but also to get rid of Lin Fu and his party, but the results were not at all. β
"Isn't the problem with that secret letter?"
"No, it's Your Majesty." Li Yunhan shook his head lightly, "Your Majesty favors Chu Thief too much, and he has long lost his vigilance against him. β
"That's right, Your Majesty is the biggest backer of the Chu thief, and he can't allow others to have the slightest suspicion of him!" Miao Jin thought for a while and asked him what he was going to do next.
"Let's wait and see." Li Yunhan's expression was gloomy, "Lin Fu loses power, and the rest of the party will definitely see the wind and turn to Yang Silang." I'm worried that if Yang Silang is in a hurry, it will force Chu Mohan to start the army early...... Alas, the current internal and external troubles are still there, which is really uneasy. β
"So, you're not going to leave?"
"Hmm. I'll wait until I've settled down Xiao Nan and dealt with the matter at hand. Li Yunhan smiled bitterly, "What about you?" β
"I want to take my mother out of the capital."
"Where to go?
"Sanhuailing, bring back my father's bones. My father had confessed before his death that he would be buried in his homeland - at the foot of Yuelu Mountain after his death. I failed to fulfill my filial piety during my lifetime, and now that he is gone, my daughter will help him fulfill this last wish no matter what. β
"Alas, I really want to resign and go with you."
"No need." Miaojin smiled indifferently, "When I finish this matter, I will go back to Beijing to find you; Two months for slow and one month for fast. β
"Okay." Li Yunhan thought for a moment, "Just let Miao Miao go with you, he knows the place." β
Miaojin nodded.
Since he was deposed as the right minister, Lin Fu's mood is very low, coupled with old age and frailty, and often worry, his health has deteriorated. He was resentful, but he refused to stop there. After much thought, he called the housekeeper, gave him some careful advice, and ordered him to go to the concert house.
Steward Hu arrived at the concert hall, saw Yan Guo, and exchanged a few words with him.
Yan Guo looked preoccupied, and said with a drooping face: "The secret letter is leaked and Lin Xiang is exempted, how can it be good now?" β
Steward Hu didn't seem to care when he heard this, and said with a smile: "Sir, don't worry too much, this is all caused by Yang Silang's revenge, and Your Majesty has not yet had the slightest suspicion of General Chu." β
"This," Yan Guo bowed his head slightly when he heard this, and said meaningfully, "It would be nice if this was the case......"
After a moment of silence, Steward Hu said: "After this catastrophe, although Lord Lin is in prison, he still has high hopes for General Chu. β
"What do you mean by that?" Yan Guo's body trembled.
Steward Hu looked around and said in a low voice: "Lord Lin said, Yang Silang is too pressing, Mr. might as well persuade General Chu to raise troops and force His Majesty to get rid of this thief in the name of punishing Yang thief and Qingjun's side." β
Yan Guo's expression changed suddenly when he heard this, and he said: "This is the crime of rebellion, don't talk nonsense!" β
Steward Hu sneered: "Mr. doesn't agree? β
"This," Yan Guo hesitated for a moment and then came up with a plan, and said with a tense face, "Please tell Lord Lin, Yan will definitely tell Chu Shuai; It's just that Lord Ji is still imprisoned in prison at the moment, and he will talk about it when Yan rescues him. β
"Okay, then Hu will wait for Mr. to reply." Steward Hu stood up, his eyes showing a cold light, "Now everyone is on the same boat; If you don't do it again, the next one will be General Chu. β
"Yes, Yan understands."
Steward Hu said goodbye and turned to leave the concert hall.
As soon as he returned to the Moon Hall, Steward Hu reported to Lynver.
Lin Fu was quite disappointed after hearing this, snorted, and said: "This is strict, as soon as the old man lost power, he looked at it differently!" β
The housekeeper advised him not to worry; I said that I would visit Yan Guo again in a few days and ask about it.
Lynver nodded helplessly, leaned back on the bench and closed his eyes in contemplation.
Suddenly, a family member came to report, saying that Zhang Hui came to visit; Lynver listened to it for a moment, and told the housekeeper to go out of the house to avoid it.
Lin Fu dragged the sick body to meet Zhang Hui. After the two exchanged pleasantries for a while, Lin Fu looked up to the sky and sighed: "The old man was dismissed, and his former colleagues have switched to Yang Silang's disciples, which is really chilling." β
Zhang Hui saw that he had something to say, shrugged his shoulders and said: "I have been taken care of by adults in Xia, how can I be that ungrateful person who sees the wind and steers the rudder." β
"Alas, looking at the court, it is rare to have such a confidant as Lord Zhang." Lin Fu looked melancholy, "It's really sad that the old man can have today." β
"Don't be sad, sir." Zhang Hui paused and said, "Let me ask you a question, have you ever thought about making a comeback to regain the phase......
Lin Fu was a little shocked when he heard this, and sighed: "Old body, don't do it." β
"Can you really swallow this?"
"What if you can't bear it!" Lin Fu sneered, "For today's plan, the old man can only sit and wait for the opportunity." β
"When?"
"Yuyang raised troops." Lynver lowered his voice and said word by word.
Zhang Hui's body trembled violently when he heard this: "This, isn't it a rebellion......"
"Are you scared? The old man has been a prime minister for more than ten years, loyal to His Majesty, hard work and grievances, so that the Tang Dynasty is prosperous today. But what did you get in the end! Lin Fu poured out the resentment that had been accumulated in his heart for many days, "Over the years, there has been an old man in the court, and he can still suppress Chu Mohan; And with Yang Silang's eagerness for quick success and reckless behavior, he will definitely force Chu Mohan to take risks and raise troops to resist...... At that time, the old man may have a chance to make a comeback. β
"This is too dangerous." Zhang Hui drooped his face and said timidly, "The adult is good friends with Chu Mohan, if he starts an army, how can the adult escape from it?" β
"You don't understand that." Lin Fu smiled, "If you talk about being close to Chu Mohan, who can compare to Your Majesty?" The old man and Chu Mohan are just acting on orders. Also, once Yuyang raises troops, His Majesty will definitely reflect on himself and blame himself, and order the old man to clean up this mess...... In this way, the day when the old man will return to power is not far away. β
"Hmm." Zhang Hui smiled when he heard this, "The adults are far-sighted, and Hui admires it very much." β
The two talked secretly for a while, and Zhang Hui rekindled hope for Lin Fu's comeback, feeling that this time it was not in vain. However, in Lin Fu's opinion, although he was looking forward to Chu Mohan's army, he still had no bottom in his heart.
Ji Wen was imprisoned in the prison of the Criminal Department, and although he was tortured by the jailers, he still refused to confess his crimes.
After the servant Shi Wei Huaibing learned about it, he came to interrogate him in person. He entered the prison cell, looked at Ji Wen coldly, sighed, and said, "Master Ji can really carry it; But no one can save you this time. β
Ji Wen was speechless when he heard this.
"Still thinking about waiting for Lynver to save you?" The corners of Wei Huaibing's mouth twitched, "To tell you the truth, he has been removed from his position and reduced to the people." β
"This ......" Ji Wen's body trembled after hearing this, and he fell to his knees with a thud, "My lord spares his life; As long as you can save your next life, you will obey Lord Wei and give all your family wealth. β
"Well, that's pretty much it." Wei Huaibing was a little moved when he heard this, and smiled dryly, "Say, why did you murder King Jing?" β
"My lord, Ji has been wronged; This is all the prince's trick behind his back. β
"Prince," Wei Huaibing sneered, "I heard you right, right?" β
"Of course you can't be wrong. It was the prince who set a trap and lured me and Lin Xiang to arrest him...... He is the one behind this case. β
"Lie," Wei Huaibing waved his whip casually, "When is it, you still want to blame the prince!" β
"Don't dare." Ji Wen moved a few steps forward and held Wei Huaibing's hand tightly, "Don't underestimate the prince." In order to confuse everyone, he pretended to be stupid on the surface, but in fact he was insidious and vicious, never letting go of everyone who threatened him. β
"Oh?"
"In the name of the Tianshan Poetry Society, the prince secretly networked a group of dead soldiers and formed the Iron Cloak Society; They do everything they can to find out information, bribe government officials, and assassinate political opponents! β
"This ...... Do you have credentials? β
"Of course." Ji Wen smiled, "They once kidnapped the rebel Mintai and assassinated Chu Mohan in King Hui's mansion...... Isn't that enough? β
Wei Huaibing couldn't help but take a deep breath after hearing this, and was speechless for a while.
"From Wang Gong, Chen Yeshuo, to Lin Xiang, they fell one after another, and behind them were all the prince's party." Ji Wen suddenly stood up straight and laughed wildly, "If Lord Yang doesn't make a move early, I'm afraid he will be next." β
"Alarmist." Wei Huaibing pondered for a moment and shook down his sleeves violently, "You better stay in prison with peace of mind; As for whether he can be released from prison, he will wait until Wei reports to Lord Yang. β
With that, Wei Huaibing turned around and walked out of the prison cell.
In order to celebrate his appointment as the right minister, Yang Silang held a banquet in the mansion to entertain his colleagues. Fifth Qi, Xian Tong, Jing Hu, Wei Huaibing, Wei Su and others all came to the banquet and congratulated.
At the banquet, Yang Silang was flattered by everyone, and his eyebrows fluttered proudly for a while.
Jing Hu bowed his head and said: "Lord Yang's strategizing and clever tactics this time have won Lin Fu in one fell swoop, which really makes us admire. β
"Hmph, that old thing can escape with his life, and it's already my subordinates who show mercy." Yang Silang raised his head and glanced at everyone, "Don't worry, follow Yang in the future, and I will never treat you badly." β
Jing Hu, Xian Tong and others hurriedly said, "Yes, my lord." β
"Lord Yang," Wei Su bowed slightly, and said loudly, "This time our side won a great victory, and one person contributed to it. β
Yang Silang asked, "Who?" β
"Qingchengzi - Li Yunhan." Wei Su is neither humble nor arrogant, "This person is a pearl in the sea, if the lord can take him under his command, it can be described as the icing on the cake." β
Yang Silang smiled bitterly twice when he heard this, and said: "This person is arrogant and arrogant, I'm afraid it will be difficult to subdue." β
Jia Sheng was thinking about flattering and inviting merit, and when he heard this, he hurriedly smiled at Yang Silang's chin and said, "Don't worry, my lord, this matter will be handed over." β
"You ......," Yang Silang twitched at the corner of his mouth.
"Don't worry, just wait for the good news." Jia Sheng patted his chest and said.
Everyone drank and talked for a while, Yang Silang got up and walked to Xian Tong, and shouted angrily: "You also have the face to see your true appearance?" β
Seeing this, Xian Tong hurriedly bowed his hand, pretending to be puzzled, and asked, "What do you mean, my lord?" β
"What's going on with the Wolf Slope case?"
Xian Tong listened and hurriedly said, "My lord, forgive my sins." Due to the repeated suppression by Lynver, the murder case has not been solved for a long time; Rest assured, Xian will definitely arrest the real murderer within a month. β
"Rubbish!" Yang Silang snorted, "If it weren't for the fact that you and I were the old people of Shudi, the prime minister would have spared you a long time ago!" β
"My lord, I know that I am wrong." Xian Tong nodded yes again and again, took out a gift slip in his arms, and presented it, "In order to apologize, Xian Mou has prepared a thin gift to honor you." β
"It's ridiculous." Yang Silang glanced at everyone, and pretended to be displeased, "If the case can't be solved within a month, what about you, Jing Zhaoyin, don't do it!" β
After hearing this, Xian Tong hurriedly took back the gift list, and replied timidly: "Yes, my lord." β
Then, Yang Silang swaggered up to Wei Huaibing and asked, "Ji Wen can confess?" β
"Yes, they have confessed." Wei Huaibing paused, "In order to reduce the punishment, he said that he was willing to swear to the death for the adult." β
"Hmph, wallgrass." Yang Silang looked disdainful, "That's all? β
"Ji Wen said, the crown prince is your mortal enemy; The thing about Wolf Slope is that he is behind the scenes. Seeing the sudden change in Yang Silang's face, Wei Huaibing lowered his voice, "He also said that if you don't start early, I'm afraid that you will be next." β
Yang Silang's body trembled slightly when he heard this: "He dares!" β
"Don't underestimate him, my lord." Wei Huaibing's expression was solemn, "According to the investigation, the prince secretly formed a secret gang under the guise of the Tianshan Poetry Society-the Iron Cloak Society; With Da Fu, Cen Shen, Wang Jie, and others as the backbone, this society secretly probed intelligence, bribed court officials, and assassinated political opponents......"
"Iron Cloak Society," Yang Silang took a cool breath when he heard this, and said to himself, "What does the prince want?" β
Jing Hu took a step forward and said loudly to Yang Silang: "What kind of Iron Cloak Society, Bronze Cloak Society, just an order from the adult, Jing Mou immediately led his troops to arrest them." β
"The general is too anxious," Yang Silang waved his hand lightly and glanced at everyone, "For now, we only need to support King Jing wholeheartedly, and when the time comes, the crown prince will be abolished, and the overall situation will be worry-free." β
Wei Huaibing heard this and hurriedly proposed to Yang Silang, saying that Ji Wen could still be used, so it was better to pardon him first and let him deal with the prince's party.
"Adults can't," Wu Qi walked in front of Yang Silang and said eagerly, "I think that what Ji Wen said is just to shirk the blame and want to blame the prince." β
"This," Yang Silang hesitated for a moment when he listened.
Wei Su agreed with Fifth Qi; said that Ji Wen is a henchman of Limfer; Although Lin Fu was dismissed, there was still a lot of traffic in front of his mansion every day, and the rest of the party was still looking forward to his comeback.
"He still wants to make a comeback, let's dream!" Yang Silang was quite unimpressed when he heard this, and then he turned his eyes on Wei Huaibing, saying that Ji Wen knew too much, so it was better to be detained in prison for the time being.
Although Wei Huaibing was disappointed when he heard this, he had no choice but to agree.
