Chapter 7: Dirty Politics
Originally, Lin Fengjin had no clue about the purpose of these mysterious people, but now it seems that it is because the ancient demon king behind this scene has revealed his whereabouts!
However, the ins and outs of this guy who was suppressed under the Cloud Mountain is still a mystery, although the analysis of the David Dynasty has collapsed for decades, but Lin Feng has searched through the historical materials and still can't find any record of this matter.
Lin Feng estimated that this is mostly a very secret matter of the imperial family, even if it is recorded, it must be a top-secret thing that will only be recorded in the Zongren Mansion, and the martial prince Qian Zhen, who borrowed the corpse to return his soul, is likely to know some inside information, after all, he is one step away from the emperor's throne, and he once shared rights with the emperor. But unfortunately, Qian Zhen is unlikely to cooperate with him, and if he sees him again, he will mostly communicate with body language such as fists and feet, and there will never be a chance to sit down and talk.
However, after Lin Fengjin thought about it for a while, he found that as long as he sorted out the cause and effect, there was still a context to follow.
Although there were some bumps in the carriage, Lin Fengjin still emptied the coffee table in front of him, and then directly dipped it in the tea to write, and began to organize his thoughts.
A few hundred years ago, when the David Dynasty was at its strongest, they caught an ancient demon king, and then imprisoned it in the unfathomable aperture of Cloud Mountain, the purpose of this is unknown, but according to the habits of the dynasty in history, the suppression of demons somewhere should be good news to lay the foundation of the dynasty, as if building an iron ox to suppress the flood, pouring iron Buddha and calming the waves.
However, there are pros and cons in everything, and suppressing the ancient demon king can make the country and the people safe, but once it gets out of control, it will definitely cause great harm. And the David Dynasty has successfully arranged a mechanism, once the family and country are broken and withered, the world will compete with each other. This mechanism will be activated, luring people to open the secret vault in the Cloud Mountain, and then release the ancient demon king.
But for now, it has been a few years since this demon king was released, and although there are small disasters and famines in the world, it is a normal reaction, and it is basically a good weather, so what is the big harm caused?
Lin Fengjin's pen outlined two names:
Li Jian, the monarch of the Tang Dynasty, died.
Nan Zheng Guojun Liu went and died.
And more importantly. Lin Fengjin had already received a private report from the informant he had planted in the Tang Dynasty, the eunuch Lao Hei, saying that Li Jian's death was very abrupt and had a lot to do with their previous behavior of taking out the secret in the Tang Dynasty.
Then Liu Qu's death is likely to be related to his own touching the organ to take away the secret.
If you put it this way, then there is one more person who should have died, but has not died!
It was Lu Kang, the monarch of the Northern Qi Kingdom, who lived in the palace of David in the northern capital of the former year.
Lin Fengjin wrote down the information he had here, and his mind was already a little enlightened, and his mind suddenly flashed and thundered:
"It turns out that they are muddying the waters. What they want to do is such a big thing!!Could it be that their target is Lu Kang!"
Although Lin Fengjin didn't know what the specific arrangements of the David Dynasty were in the past, but. He is a knowledgeable Taoist, but the purpose of the David Dynasty is very clear, that is, those who dare to covet the artifact of the Central Plains must die! Lu Kang's life was probably tied to some of the interests of the Ancient Demon King over there.
What the specific interests are, and how to tie them up, Lin Fengjin doesn't know what to do. However, Lu Kang died. It must be of great benefit to this ancient demon king, as if he was to start all over again and stand at the entrance of the secret room of Cloud Misty Mountain, knowing that if the dragon qi in this seal of the Dao Dao is released, it will be very harmful to the world, and Lin Fengjin will simply suck the dragon qi in the seal dry, this is the selfishness of human nature.
Although King David, the man who formulated this plan, has been dead for an unknown number of years, his subtle manipulation of people's hearts and the plan he left behind are still breathtaking! It is really amazing that a dead man can play with the heroes of hundreds of years later and make him obediently do what he wants.
Now that Lu Kang has become a target, Lin Fengjin is not worried, assassinating the king is definitely not an easy task, whether you are an ancient demon king or a bull B character, otherwise, if you kill the king so well, the world will already be in chaos.
And Lin Fengjin also maintains a great influence on the next heir of the country, King Lu Yu, according to the experience of the eunuch Lao Hei, even if he takes something from the palace and triggers some mechanisms, as long as the king does not get close to that vicinity, there will still be no problem. Therefore, this is the only thing that needs to be strictly guarded against, and as soon as he thought of this, Lin Fengjin immediately ordered to rush to the British King's Mansion overnight, saying that he had something important to see.
In the entire Ye Capital, there will definitely be no more than five people who can see Lu Yu whenever they want, including the monarch Lu Kang, so Lin Fengjin is not sure, but he can also test his weight in Lu Yu's mind.
Contrary to Lin Fengjin's expectations, after he passed in the gatehouse of the palace, he probably saw Lu Yu only after a cup of tea, and it could be seen that Lu Yu was woken up in his sleep, his eyes were full of bloodshots, and his dress was also very casual, it could be seen that he really didn't regard Lin Fengjin as an outsider.
Lin Fengjin took a step forward very simply and said:
"It's a bit abrupt, but it's about shaking the country's foundation, and there is no room for any delay, so please forgive me. ”
Lu Yu heard what Lin Fengjin said seriously, so he said with a straight face:
"Say it quickly. ”
Lin Fengjin called the eunuch who was accompanying him, and then put the broken bone of the ancient demon king on the tray and presented it. Then 1510 told what happened in Yedu, and then said:
"Does the king recognize what this is?"
Lu Yu looked at it for a while, frowned, and said:
"This is really unrecognizable, Luo Xian, do you know what this thing is?"
A man came out from behind Lu Yu's three-clawed golden dragon screen, dressed as a big and three thick head, looking forward to his own majesty, awe-inspiring, and said in a deep voice after taking the bone piece and reading it:
"It's also clumsy below, but you can feel that there is an overwhelming darkness above, which is very unbridled and unbridled, and even more vast. I'm afraid it's not something from the human world. ”
Lin Fengjin nodded and said:
"At the beginning of the next year, I didn't know what Lu Dao was, but I first asked Lu Daozi, the master of the dark department of Wude Academy, and then asked Mr. Wang Xunzhi to investigate the root cause with his knowledge of things, and then I realized that Lu Dao was actually the bones left by the ancient demon king, and then I found out that there was a great conspiracy brewing!"
Lu Yu nodded and said:
"You say. ”
Lin Feng said respectfully:
"Dare to ask if there is a place in the palace called Gui Ma Xuan?"
Lu Yu was also quite unfamiliar with the palace, so he immediately called a eunuch in and asked him if there was such a place, and the eunuch nodded yes. Lin Feng said:
"Begging back left and right. ”
Lu Yu also trusted Lin Fengjin, not to mention that he was originally one of the strongest people in the world. The snake swallowing was in his body, and he was not afraid of anyone's trouble, so he waved his hand, and immediately heard a series of footsteps around him disperse. Lin Feng said:
"The king should know that most of the palaces at this time are actually the former sites of the Northern Capital Palace of the previous dynasty, and in Gui Maxuan, there is an extremely sharp killing mechanism, once activated. Not only is it formless, colorless, and tasteless, but it will also target people with dragon energy, once the saint is close to a hundred zhang, he will definitely die! It is to reshape the body with the soul of a king, and their goal is to kill the king!
After Lu Yu heard this, his face changed slightly.
Lin Fengjin continued:
"What's more, the king has never been able to go near that place lately. Because according to His Majesty's speculation, that mechanism will be launched against talents with a large amount of dragon energy, and it will have no effect on ordinary people. The situation is urgent. There is no evidence for what the minister said, but if there is no such thing, you can know the road by demolishing Gui Maxuan and excavating it, and it will not cost any artificial money, this kind of thing, I would rather believe it than not believe it, if it is the minister's intelligence judgment is wrong, all the losses will be borne by me, but if this matter is true, it is a big matter, and it cannot be delayed."
Lu Yu was silent for a long time before he said:
"Your judgment and analysis, I have always been trustworthy, not to mention that you are right about this kind of thing, it is better to believe it than to believe that it is not self-aware of the Tao, I will arrange it, you go down, since you can't be sure about this matter, then don't say anything to other people. ”
Lin Feng said respectfully:
"Yes, Your Majesty won't talk much, and the gentlemen in the academy may speculate a thing or two, but I believe that they are definitely not people who don't know the importance of talking nonsense. ”
Lu Yu nodded slowly, and was about to leave, when he suddenly said:
"You are currently investigating this case as a living member, which is really a bit unjustifiable, and the culprit behind this case is actually an evil demon that even Luo Xian finds difficult to deal with, and I am afraid that I will encounter some unpredictable dangers, so this king will issue an edict ordering you to handle this case. ”
Lin Feng was overjoyed when he heard this, Lu Yu is not an ordinary person, the dragon qi on his body can be said to be almost dominant, even more amazing than Lu Kang, the main master, so Lu Kang's body has been a little weak for a long time, not to mention an ordinary prince, so it is natural to dominate the national fortune as a matter of course. Therefore, his next edict is almost the same as Lu Kang's holy decree, and the effect of the talisman is similar, and it would be great to be able to get the talisman here.
After getting the edict with a three-clawed golden dragon tattooed on the side and the seal of King Lu Yu on it, Lin Fengjin took his leave and left.
It is said that after Lin Fengjin left, Lu Yu did not continue to sleep, but sat on the hall, but there were a few people standing solemnly next to him, it seemed that the lights were bright, and he actually had a little prestige in the upper court, if Lin Fengjin was here, he could recognize that these characters were also the strategists and scribes in Lu Yu's pocket, if there was no accident, the mainstay of the Northern Qi court in the next twenty years would be produced among these people.
"I called a few people here at night, and it was really a big event. Lu Yu said slowly.
These people all said that they didn't dare, and then the chief eunuch of the palace next to them repeated what Lin Fengjin said before, and everyone fell into deep thought.
First of all, Shi Wan and Lin, the governor of the palace, took a serious step and said:
"How credible is what this person says?"
Lu Yu said lightly:
"Lin Feng is a man who knows how to do things, and he is definitely not a person who talks about it, plus there is Luo Fengfeng, almost eighty percent sure, the key is that now the king is also a little jealous of me, if I come forward to do this, it will deepen the estrangement between father and son. I would like to ask you to think of a perfect way to eliminate this hidden danger without provoking you to think about it. ”
However, at this time, Wan Helin knelt down and said lightly:
"The minister thinks that this kind of thing is really nonsense, then Lin Fengjin is young and ignorant, and Luo Fengfeng is also clumsy, thinking about how tightly defended the palace is, and it is even more a gathering of national fortunes, what evil magic can take effect in it, please don't be deceived by villains! Don't take this kind of rumor to heart! Even the minister thinks. Na Lin Feng should be imprisoned, strictly forbidden to have contact with the outside world, and he should be severely punished for the crime of spreading rumors!"
Wan and Lin said this, and several people next to him glanced at each other, and they all took a step together, knelt down and said in unison:
"Please don't believe the rumors and stay away from the villain!"
A wry smile appeared next to the corner of Lu Yu's lips, and he couldn't help but sigh, suddenly feeling so tired.
But that's the price. The price that the king must pay.
For what kind of king wants to be called a lonely widow, that is because once he plans to sit in that position, family affection, love and affection. Friendship and everything else will be insulated from it forever.
Did these courtiers really think that what Lin Fengjin said was a rumor?
Absolutely not! The excitement and joy in their eyes revealed the truth, and they believed that Gui Maxuan's trap was true! But why did Lu actually openly refute his own words, and also asked to imprison Lin Fengjin? You must know that this kind of face-tearing behavior will inevitably cause both sides to become mortal enemies!!
The reason is simple. For that chair.
Throne.
Liu went to die violently, fulfilling King Fu and the Queen Mother, and Li Jian died. The happiest person is the prince of the Tang Dynasty.
Lu Kang of the Northern Qi Dynasty died, the crown prince has been deposed, and the biggest beneficiary is Lu Yu!!
Although at this time, Lu Yu in the Northern Qi Dynasty has no competitors at all, although Lu Kang is also decrepit and almost half of the power has been released, although there seems to be family affection between the father and son, but in front of the big position, in front of the supreme position, everything can be abandoned.
Once you don't ascend the throne, you have to be more worried about it for a day, and the risk you take will be greater! When the cooked ducks have all flown away, what if one day Lu Kang suddenly cares about the old feelings and straightens the crown prince, in case Lu Yu has a serious illness, there is no such thing as a stable thing in this world, let alone a big position! The most obvious and tragic example of this is Qian Zhen, the prince of Wu!
So when these strategists heard the news before, their first thoughts were simply excited: not only can Lu Kang die, but also not bear the reputation of killing the king, this is a fucking match made in heaven, and even the process of manipulating public opinion to calm down the Qing Dynasty has been completely omitted!
Therefore, Wan Helin, who has already regarded himself as Zaifu, simply expressed his opinion, that is, to block the news and let Lu Kang die!!
He took the lead, and the rest of the people naturally followed one after another, lest they fall behind!
Lu Yu was a little stunned, and looked at the group of advisors under him with some anger, his bloodshot eyes were full of disappointment, and he suddenly shouted angrily:
"Lone is to let you think about it, what is the way to eliminate this hidden danger, and not to provoke the king to think too much, I didn't ask you the truth of this information!
Wan Helin knelt down expressionlessly and said:
"For the great cause of the king, even if this information is true, it must become false, and those who become great things must be ruthless, and the minister asks the king to behead all those who know, including the ministers, as long as the king can ascend to the throne, then the ministers are also smiling and blind under the nine springs. ”
Lu Yu shouted angrily:
",!!"
In a fit of rage, Lu Yu didn't even care about everything, and aimed the tea bowl at hand at Wan Helin and smashed it, he was the one who led the troops, and his hand strength was not small, and he suddenly smashed it on Wan Helin's forehead with a bang. Wan Helin, a civil official, couldn't stand this blow, and was suddenly smashed to his stomach, but after a while, although his head was bleeding, he still stubbornly got up again, and looked at Lu Yu without fear.
Lu Yu only felt extremely anxious, so he could only turn to Cui Zhijie, the eunuch of the palace next to him, and said angrily:
"Say, you say, what are the intentions of these thieves who have no father! Do you have any way to get the best of both worlds?"
Cui Zhijie glanced at Lu Yu expressionlessly, and suddenly knelt down and said:
"The slave felt that what Master Wan said was a good word, and if the king wanted to ask the way, the slave's method would be the same as that of Lord Wan. ”
This eunuch Cui is also like a mirror in his heart. At this time, although he was the chief eunuch of the palace, although he was majestic, how could he compare with the power of the eunuch Bingbi, and God gave such a great opportunity, if he let it go gently, he would be punished by heaven! Prince Wu Qian Zhen gave up the throne, and it is said that the most important thing is that there is no corpse in the end, and now the civil officials obviously have some collective intention to force the palace, if they hesitate or something, then needless to say, they will not be a person among their colleagues in the future.
Lu Yu looked at these henchmen in front of him. Suddenly feeling a kind of extreme exhaustion, he opened his mouth, as if he wanted to say something, but he couldn't say it, he sat down on his throne, covered his forehead and let out a long breath, the sigh was full of exhaustion, helplessness, and other unwilling emotions. This was followed by a strong feeling of powerlessness.
It was the first time he had encountered such a situation, and when his subordinates spoke out against him in unison, there was no exception!!
"Could it be that my thoughts and practices are really wrong?" such a strange thought suddenly emerged from Lu Yu's deep heart.
Some thoughts once they come to mind. It will be like a spark falling on an arid wasteland, and it will immediately become a prairie fire, such as Lu Yu's thought,
Uh, or for example, I just don't have a good night's sleep today
Of course, Lin Fengjin didn't know about the twists and turns behind the scenes. He never expected that the news he brought would cause an uproar in the palace like a bomb. He was just sure that Lu Yu would respond in time. Plug this loophole that could harm his father, and then it will be foolproof.
And the reason why Lin Fengjin made this inference was because he felt that this was going to happen to him, and he would definitely make the same choice.
But Lin Fengjin is a human being, not a god, and there are times when he misses it. This method of treating others with oneself is not wrong, but it is necessary to divide the object, for example, some people can stick to their own ideas under the temptation of money and beauty, but it is estimated that they will immediately pounce on the comeback
And the father-son relationship between Lin Fengjin and Lu Yu is even more different:
Although both of them have lost their mothers since childhood, Lin Fengjin is strict on the surface, but he is actually very doting, and what is shown is that Lin Fengjin often cries when he is a child, and he can often make his wishes come true, and in order to protect his son, Lin Yuanwai can almost give up his life!
As for Lu Yu, an illegitimate child, Lu Kang didn't give him any love in his childhood, because there were too many people to share the king's love, and Lu Kang just gave Lu Yu a fair chance to struggle, and everything about Lu Yu himself was made by working hard little by little with his hands! More importantly, the time when the two met was estimated to be less than ten days in this life.
There is a saying that distance produces beauty, but this sentence definitely does not mean that it can be applied to children and parents.
In fact, if Lin Fengjin told his father-in-law Zuo Governor about this matter, Lord Zuo would have deduced this series of things that would happen later, but unfortunately, Lin Fengjin didn't talk about it, because he had already promised Lu Yu not to spread this matter and not say much.
Then Lin Fengjin went home, and entered a sweet sleep with peace of mind, and the next morning he got up as soon as he got up, and heard a series of knocks on the door.
Lin Fengjin was shocked and hurriedly went forward, but when he saw the smile on Song Zhutou's face, he relieved his heart, and Song Zhutou stepped forward and said with a little smugness:
"Tuo Gongzi's Hongfu, we found that the dead ghost Wei Chuan has several corns on his feet, so his requirements for shoes are quite high, otherwise, who would be happy to hurt when he walks, therefore, in response to this, the big guy conducted a careful study, and found that although the broken shoes of this guy were bought in the clothing appraisal store, however, his old shoes have a first-class brand new insole, the stitches and materials are very exquisite, and he didn't buy it for a few days at a glance, so he took it and asked to know that it was in Yedu's "Shengfeng Zhai" Incoming goods!" (To be continued......)
