Looking at the civil and military officials below like a bunch of flies, you are calling me every word, the emperor has a headache, and his expression is full of impatience.

The crown prince caught this very carefully, and immediately stepped forward and said respectfully: "Father, what Xia Guogong said is right, Lin Yu is indeed too young to take on this great responsibility alone. However, if there is the long-experienced Xia Guogong by his side, he will definitely be able to quell the rebellion in one fell swoop. ”

When the emperor heard this, he nodded slightly, and then shifted his gaze to Xia Guogong and asked, "Xia Aiqing, what do you think about this matter?"

Xiahou Ying is already over half a hundred years old, and she is far better than others in observing words and feelings. Seeing the emperor's expression and the tone of his speech, he appreciated the prince's proposal. Immediately, he peeked at King Fu, who had been silent all along, out of the corner of his eye.

After receiving the affirmative reply from King Fu, he replied: "As long as you can solve the problems for Your Majesty, Weichen is willing to do his best and die!"

"Okay, pass on my will, Lin Yu, the son of Lin Hao, the secretary of the Ministry of Sealing the Army, will be the generalissimo of the counterinsurgency, and Xia Guogong will be the supervisor of the army, and 200,000 elite soldiers from the three prefectures of Jinan, Xuzhou, and Kaifeng will be transferred to the front line in Zhengzhou, and the rebellion must be quelled before the end of this year. Otherwise, you will bear all the consequences. Lin Hao, the former secretary of the military department, failed to quell the rebellion on the specified date, and is now dismissed from his post as a messenger, escorted back to Beijing, and placed under house arrest at home, waiting for his fate!"

Lin Yu heard that their Lin family was not in danger of extinction for the time being, so he breathed a sigh of relief, immediately knelt down, and arched his hand and said: "Lin Yu, the son of a criminal minister, thank the emperor, long live my emperor, long live, long live!"

"Weichen Xiahou Ying, kneel down to thank the emperor, long live my emperor, long live!" Xiahou Ying also knelt down and shouted respectfully.

The emperor waved his hand slightly and said, "Two Aiqing, please calm down, may you work together to quell the rebellion, I will set up a celebration wine, and wait for your triumphant return!"

Before the emperor's words fell, his deep eyes immediately appeared like a raging anger, and shouted: "Where is Shang Yong, the Shangshu of the Criminal Department?"

"Wechen is here!"

An old minister who was over the age of sixteen immediately turned out of the crowd, and said in a slightly trembling voice.

Shang Yong originally planned to return to his hometown after the Mid-Autumn Festival and live a few years of pure life. Who knew that last night there was another assassination case of Concubine Lan in the palace, which made him worry about the entire early dynasty. originally thought that he was about to pass the test in the dark, but who knew that the emperor would be ......

"Has the murderer been arrested?" the saint asked coldly.

"Your Majesty, the murderer is the great thief of the rivers and lakes, Lang Jun Kongkong'er, who has been killed by Lin Yu with a sword, and now the body is at the headquarters of the Yamen of the Six Gates!" Shang Yong replied with a trembling voice.

"You are all a bunch of waste, allowing the gangsters to break into the deep palace so easily, and even assassinated my beloved concubine. Today, this group of outlaw assassins on the rivers and lakes can kill Concubine Lan, and tomorrow they can kill me. The emperor's eyes were about to erupt with fire, and he shouted angrily.

The hundreds of military officials in the audience were so frightened that no one dared to speak, and they all knelt down in unison.

At this time, the eunuch next to him hurriedly stepped forward and said respectfully: "Your Majesty, don't be angry, take care of the dragon's body!"

The emperor flicked up the dragon sleeves, pushed the eunuch aside, and shouted at Shang Yong with angry eyes: "Shang Yong, you are already old, go back to Nanjing to guard the tomb of the emperor!"

Shang Yong stood there trembling, like a broken candle swaying in the cold wind, and immediately knelt down and responded respectfully: "The guilty minister has the order, thank you Lord Longen!"

The emperor no longer paid attention to Shang Yong, and then raised his sleeves and shouted angrily: "Xiao Anzi, spread my will, kill Concubine Lan's guards, palace maids, and eunuchs all to accompany the funeral, and the eunuch chief Anshun's entire family will be wiped out." The other Praetorian Guard commanders, as well as the Ouchi masters on duty, were all put on death row and waited to be released. Hang the empty head of the great thief of the rivers and lakes on the city gate, and warn those people in the rivers and lakes with bad intentions, so as to set an example!"

After retiring from the dynasty, Lin Yu left the palace with palpitations, and he was about to break out in a cold sweat. This is simply more energy-consuming than fighting a life-and-death battle.

I have to say that the emperor's trick is very brilliant and wonderful. Father Lin Hao supports the prince, and he is naturally regarded as the prince's person.

And Xia Guogong is the person of King Fu, appointing himself as the commander-in-chief, and Xia Guogong as the supervisor of the army, so that it can play a role of mutual checks and balances, and no one wants to be dominant and threaten the safety of the royal family.

And in order to prevent him and Xia Guogong from having too many troops outside, posing a threat to the royal power. He put his father and other family members under house arrest. also deliberately took advantage of the topic to put Xia Youwei, the son of Xia Guogong and the commander of the Praetorian Guard, on death row, in order to contain their actions.

It seems that if you want to save your father, you have to put down the rebellion at the end of the year, otherwise, the consequences will be really unimaginable......

"Brother Lin, Brother Lin......" Just as Lin Yu fell into deep thought, Yingying's voice came from behind.

Lin Yu stopped gently, a slight smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and said, "Yingying, why are you here?"

Ying Ying pursed her lips and said coquettishly, "Why can't I come?"

"Marshal Lin, if you have anything to say, let's wait for our triumphant return, and then you can talk to the princess! I'm afraid that before we can go, Ling Zun will lose Zhengzhou City again. Xia Guogong's expression was like an eggplant beaten by autumn frost, and he said with a prickly voice.

Lin Yu knew that it was not appropriate to have a stiff fight with him at this time, so he glanced at him coldly, and responded: "This is not a matter of worrying about the labor supervision army, and I can't delay much time if I talk to the princess for a few words, right?"

"That's it, Old Man Xia, how long can you say a few words to Princess Ben? You're here, chattering endlessly. Because of Xia Youwei, Ying Ying naturally didn't have a good impression of this dull old man, and now when she saw his yin and yang weird brother Xunlin, she suddenly burst out of her anger, and responded not to be outdone.

When Xiahou Ying heard this, she was blue and black, so she almost tilted her nose directly. However, he also knew very well in his heart that the temperament of this unruly and willful princess was simply a lord who was not afraid of heaven and earth, and if he offended her, it would definitely be a lot of trouble.

Thinking of this, Xiahou Ying snorted angrily, stretched an old face that was almost as beautiful as a weathered stone, and left with his sleeves.

Seeing that Xiahou Ying had left, Ying Ying pointed at his back and stuck out her tongue mischievously. Immediately after that, he turned around again, smiled hesitantly, and said, "Brother Lin, I will also go to the front line with you to quell the rebellion!"

When Lin Yu heard this, his face changed slightly, and he said, "Yingying, fighting is not a joke, you should stay in the palace obediently!"

"I ......" Ying Ying wanted to say something more, but before the words could be spoken, the prince walked over.

Lin Yu bowed slightly to the prince and said, "Prince!"

The prince nodded lightly, and said with a slightly solemn expression: "Marshal Lin, this time, the burden on your shoulders is not light, Wangjun must return triumphantly!"

Lin Yu heard what the prince meant, then nodded, and responded: "Please rest assured that the prince will definitely do his best to quell Xu Ming's rebellion and restore peace to the Ming Dynasty." It's just that during my absence, I asked the prince to take more care of my Lin family, and Lin Yu thanked me in advance!"

Before the words fell, Lin Yu had already bowed to the prince!

The prince hurriedly helped Lin Yu up, hurriedly glanced around, and deliberately lowered his voice and said, "Brother Lin Yu, I don't need to say this, I will do it too." Today in the court, you have also seen the people of the Manchu Dynasty who are all the people who are blessed kings, and Lin Gong and I are already people in the same boat, how can we not help each other in the same boat?"

The prince's title for Lin Yu has changed from the official title of Marshal Lin to Lin Yu's brother, a title that adds a lot of emotion, in order to express his intention to win over.

Lin Yu couldn't understand the meaning of the prince's words, although he didn't like this kind of court, intrigue for power, and deceive me. But for the sake of his father and the entire Lin family, even if he is reluctant, he has to do this, this is his responsibility. A responsibility that he should bear as a son of man!

Thinking of this, Lin Yu's expression was slightly solemn, he nodded lightly, and said, "Then Lin Yu will thank the prince!"

"Hey, Brother Prince, Brother Lin, what are you talking about?" Yingying, who was left out in the cold on the side, said with a little disgust.

With a faint smile, the prince said, "It's nothing, just a few simple greetings with Brother Lin Yu." ”

Although Ying Ying knows that they are definitely not as simple as greeting a few words, he has lived in the deep palace since he was a child, and he knows a little bit about those alternative swords and swords. And at this time, her attention is not on this, but on whether she can follow Lin Yu to the front line of the flames.

"Brother Prince, I know that you love me the most, Ying Ying will tell you one thing!" Ying Ying's clear eyes rolled a few times, and then said with a somewhat childlike mischievous smile.

When the prince saw Yingying's expression, his face changed slightly, and he asked, "What do you want to do, you ghost girl?"

"I want to follow Brother Lin to the front line!" A faint smile appeared on the corner of Ying Ying's mouth, and a murmuring stream of hope flowed out of her clear eyes, looking at the prince with anticipation.

I didn't know that her words had not yet fallen, so I only heard the prince respond coldly: "Nonsense, the front line is full of flames, and it is very dangerous." What are you doing with a little girl, it's just nonsense. ”

Seeing that her wish had come to naught, Ying Ying reluctantly pursed her lips and said, "I'm eighteen years old, and I'm not a little girl anymore." Besides, isn't there still Brother Lin to protect me?"

"Brother Lin Yu is going to fight, it is a matter of hundreds of thousands of soldiers, and even the safety of the entire Ming Dynasty, how can it be child's play?" the prince scolded angrily.

Although Ying Ying also knows this truth, her clear eyes are still full of reluctance.

When the prince saw this scene, he immediately pulled Ying Ying aside and muttered a few words in a low voice.

Hearing the prince's words, Ying Ying's slightly dim eyes immediately became as bright as stars, and she couldn't suppress her excitement and asked, "Brother Prince, is it really?"

The prince nodded vigorously and responded, "Of course it's true, when did I deceive our little princess." ”

"Giggle...... Giggle...... Ying Ying smiled like a child, and with a little shyness, she secretly looked at Lin Yu.

Then she walked in front of Lin Yu, lowered her head slightly, and said in a low voice: "Brother Lin, I was a little willful just now, I won't pester you and take me to the front line." But you have to promise me that you will return triumphantly, and I will wait for you......"

Lin Yu glanced at the prince with a somewhat treacherous smile on the corner of his mouth, and then at Yingying, whose little face was flushed with shame, and suddenly understood that there must have been some "unseemly agreement" between them.

But no matter what the agreement is, as long as it can solve Yingying's tricky trouble, he will be happy. After a brief chat with Ying Ying and the prince, Lin Yu went home directly to visit his mother......
