Chapter 8 The Two Kings Secretly Talk About Hidden Scheming

Li Lin, the king of Jing, was about twenty-four or five years old, he was born with handsome facial features, extraordinary bearing, and a white face with a little vicissitudes because of the rush in the past few days.

On this day, he rushed back to the capital with Changshi Aiyun and his entourage all the way.

After returning home, he simply ate the meal, finished washing, and was about to fall down to rest, when Changshi Aiyun hurriedly came to report, saying that the prince was visiting.

It turned out that the news of King Jing's return to Beijing had already been heard by the people of the Iron Cloak Society. After hearing the news, the prince listened to Fu Guo's suggestion and immediately rushed to meet him.

King Jing was stunned for a moment after hearing this, then got up and went to the living room.

After the two brothers met each other, they exchanged a few words, and the prince stared at King Jing silently, dripping a line of tears.

King Jing was puzzled when he saw it, and asked him why he was crying?

"Alas, when I saw Brother Lin, I couldn't help but recall the old things in the Ten Princes' Mansion back then," the prince wiped away his tears, "The mother left early, you and my brother have a hard time, eat and sleep together, although it is bitter, there is also happiness; It's been nearly 20 years, and whenever I think of this dusty past, it's always sad and irrepressible. ”

"Brother Huang doesn't have to be sad, aren't you and me all doing well." King Jing handed over a silk handkerchief, "The younger brother was young and very stubborn at that time, and thanks to the love of the elder brother, no one dared to bully." This nurturing grace, the little brother is unforgettable. ”

"Yes, after a few months, you and I should be happy to see each other, but my temperament is ......"

King Jing heard a trace of pity in his heart, and said slowly: "Brother is here, just want to say this?" ”

The prince slowly took out a book from his arms, handed it over, and said, "This "Taigong Military Strategy", can the younger brother remember?" ”

King Jing took the book and looked at it, and said, "Of course I remember." This book was my brother's favorite book back then, when I was young and ignorant, and accidentally broke a page, and I was scolded by you. ”

"This strange book of martial arts is the only book of the Han Dynasty, so I gave it to Brother Lin."

King Jing was shocked when he heard this, and humbly said: "This book is extremely precious, how can the younger brother win the love of his brother!" ”

The prince smiled and said: "The younger brother has both civil and military skills, and he will govern the country and lead the army in the future, and this book can still be used." ”

King Jing saw that he couldn't shirk it, so he had to thank him and accept the book.

After a moment of silence, the prince sighed lightly: "Alas, the younger brother has been thousands of miles away for several months, and he has a lot of worries for his brother; However, the turmoil in the government and politics is unbearable, and sometimes it is difficult to find someone to listen to. ”

King Jing smiled indifferently and said, "The affairs of the court have their own ministers, so what does my brother have to worry about." ”

"Alas, it's hard to put into words; Wei Zhi was sentenced for committing a crime before, but Lin Fu insisted on the case, intending to harm his brother, how can it be said that he is worry-free? ”

"Hmm; I heard about Wei Zhi's case when I was in Jiangnan; However, since the brother has nothing to do with this case, how dare Lin Fu act so recklessly! ”

The prince said gloomily: "It's not a secret, the reason why they hurt me is not because they want to change the crown prince." ”

"Easy to store?" King Jing stood up straight when he heard this, and said hatefully, "Brother Wang has always been benevolent, filial, loyal, and diligent, and has never made any mistakes, how can they be framed!" Otherwise, I will go to my father and tell him the truth. ”

"Sixteenth brother is angry." The prince hurriedly stepped forward and grabbed him, and said warmly, "I have been thinking about my brother for a long time, if my younger brother is interested, I would rather give up the position of the prince to you." ”

King Jing was shocked when he heard this, and said, "Brother Wang's words are wrong. How can the younger brother He De, how dare he accept such a big position! ”

"You don't want to?"

"Yes," King Jing said firmly, "The crown prince is the prince of the country and the foundation of the country. ”

After hearing this, the prince showed a hint of a smile, and said with a relaxed eyebrow: "With Brother Lin's words, I can rest assured that I am a brother." In the future, as long as there is a brother, you and my brother will share this glory and wealth. ”

King Jing was extremely moved when he heard this, and hurriedly thanked him.

The two recounted and talked warmly for a while, and a family member came to report, saying that Yang Silang came to see him in the imperial history.

When the prince heard this, he panicked, hurriedly got up to say goodbye, and walked out of the palace through the side door.

Later, King Jing summoned Yang Silang and asked him what was the matter?

Yang Silang said respectfully: "The minister has always admired the virtue of His Royal Highness, and today I took the liberty to see it, and I hope to give him advice." ”

"Your Excellency is too modest, what is there but to say."

Yang Silang put down the teacup with an "um" and asked: "Your Royal Highness is benevolent, filial piety, loyal and brave, Wen Taowu is overlooked, is he willing to deign to be a plain prince?" ”

King Jing took a breath when he heard this, thought about it, and said, "What do you mean by your lord......"

"As long as His Royal Highness nods, the minister is willing to help Lin Xiang and help you become the crown prince."

After hearing this, King Jing understood his intention, and said angrily: "You, how dare you say such things! ”

Yang Silang persuaded him to calm his anger, and said unhurriedly: "And listen to the words of the ministers, the prince is cowardly and incompetent at the moment, and the courtiers are not to criticize; Choosing a virtuous person as a prince is not just what the minister thinks. ”

"You dare to drive a wedge between my brotherhood?"

"Don't dare. Thinking that His Royal Highness was young, because His Majesty neglected to take care of him, he relied on the crown prince to raise him, which is well known. However, compared with the great cause of the society, which is more important, Your Highness, what do you say? ”

King Jing was moved when he heard this, smiled dryly, and said, "Don't forget, my lord, there are so many imperial brothers and imperial brothers who are watching with their eyes open, didn't my lord's move put me on the stove to roast?" ”

"No, Your Majesty has already intended that. His Majesty ordered you to guard Jiangling, which he intended to cultivate; He often praises His Highness in front of his ministers, how can we, who are courtiers, not understand it? Now it's time for you to step up. ”

King Jing frowned, thought for a moment, and said, "Brother Huang has no fault, how can this king bear to do it!" Besides, this king has just returned to Beijing, and he is not familiar with the affairs of the court and politics at all, so let's talk about it later. ”

"Your Highness, the ministers are waiting for a piece of kindness and think twice!" Yang Silang knelt down as he spoke.

King Jing smiled and helped Yang Silang to get up, saying that the matter of abolishing the establishment was very big, and let him think about it carefully.

Yang Silang was very disappointed when he heard this, and nodded helplessly.

As a member of the Iron Cloak Society, Dali Zheng Wuqi was imprisoned on the orders of the prince and quietly met with Xiao Yu.

Xiao Yu figured out the intention of the fifth Qi, but he was still vigilant, and he didn't believe it until he read the prince's codex.

Wu Qi lit the codex with an oil lamp, and comforted Xiao Yu that the prince was trying to rescue him from prison.

"No need," Xiao Yu shook his head, "They must arrest me for His Royal Highness the Prince, once they involve him, then they will lose everything." ”

"This ......"

"Please tell the prince, Xiao will be able to bear it." Xiao Yu sighed, took out a pre-written complaint from under the straw mat, and said that in case of an accident to him, please hand over this confession to the prince.

Wu Qi took it and hurriedly looked at it and asked, "Do you want to denounce Wang Han?" ”

"Yes, he betrayed me;" Xiao Yu gritted his teeth and said hatefully, "Even if Xiao dies, you have to pull him back!" ”

Fifth Qi couldn't help but fall into deep thought when he heard this.
