Chapter 464: In the court, there is a secret confrontation
As soon as Lin Yu and Ying Ying walked to the gate of the palace, they saw a man in brocade clothes, escorted by four masters, and greeted him directly.
"Brother Prince......" Ying Ying shouted excitedly when she saw someone coming.
The prince touched Yingying's green silk very dotingly, and asked softly: "Yingying, you have nothing to do, let my brother and I worry about death, and I am about to take someone to find you!"
Ying Ying smiled a little embarrassedly, hurriedly took the prince's hand, walked in front of Lin Yu, pointed at Lin Yu and introduced: "Brother Prince, this time it was Brother Lin who saved me." If it weren't for him, you wouldn't have seen Ying Ying again. β
Lin Yu bowed to the prince and said, "Lin Yu, the grass people, has seen His Royal Highness the Prince!"
The prince looked Lin Yu up and down carefully, and said, "You are the son of Lin Gong?"
Lin Yu nodded slightly, and responded, "Exactly!"
Seeing that he received Lin Yu's affirmative reply, the prince smiled slightly and said, "Sure enough, he is a talent, and my wayward sister is simply a pair of golden boys and girls." β
"Brother Prince, what do you say, if you say this again, Ying Ying will ignore you. When Ying Ying heard the prince's words, her little face turned red with shame, and she hurriedly lowered her head and whispered.
"Hehe, our princess Yingying is still shy, it's really a wonder in the world!" the prince said with a smile.
"Hmph, I'm ignoring you. Ying Yingjiao snorted and ran away.
Seeing that Yingying was leaving, the prince put away the smile just now, and asked with a slightly solemn expression: "How is Lin Gong?"
Lin Yu nodded lightly and responded: "I'm tired of His Royal Highness the Prince, my father is all right." β
"Is it true that Liang Cheng, the chief soldier of Hangu Pass, defected to the enemy?" When he asked this, the prince glanced around and asked in a deliberately low voice.
Lin Yu's expression seemed to be sprinkled with a layer of frost, nodded slightly, and responded: "Well, it's the truth." Liang Cheng defected to the enemy, attacked Luoyang from Hangu Pass, and captured Luoyang City under the instigation of the same party. β
Before Lin Yu's words fell, he saw the prince clenching his fists tightly, and the green tendons that emerged from his arms were clearly visible, and he gritted his teeth and shouted coldly: "Liang Cheng is a thief, he is really an ungrateful beast, and he has failed the grace of Lin Gong's promotion and training. β
After Lin Yu and the prince had a brief conversation, they followed the eunuchs who came to summon and walked towards the Jinluan Hall one after another.
Above the Jinluan Palace, the left and right sides were already full of civil and military officials, and at a glance, the figures of several acquaintances came into Lin Yu's eyes, and King Fu also showed a cold smile to him.
"Erchen greets his father!" the prince walked in the center of the hall, knelt down and said respectfully.
"Grass people Lin Yu greets the emperor!" Lin Yu also knelt down and shouted respectfully.
"You two are flat!" The emperor who was sitting on the dragon chair, with a little anger on his dragon face, saw Lin Yu and the prince coming, he also relieved his anger a little, raised his hand slightly, and responded.
The person in the audience is the eldest son of Lin Gong, the secretary of the Ministry of War, Lin Yu?" As soon as Lin Yu got up, the emperor's voice came again.
Lin Yu arched his hand and replied: "It's the grass people!"
"Yes, it's really extraordinary, with the style of Lin Gong back then!" The corner of the emperor's mouth suddenly showed a slight smile and praised it.
Lin Yu replied respectfully, "The emperor has praised it!"
"Gong Lin, is it good to be on the front line?" the emperor asked coldly.
At this time, Lin Yu saw that there was still a faint smile on the corner of the emperor's mouth, but he also knew very well in his heart that it was already a murderous lurk at this time. As long as you answer the slightest mistake and anger Long Yan, you may be wiped out at any time. What's more, there is King Fu, Xia Guogong's group of people staring at it fiercely.
"By God's grace, my father's body is well. It's just that Liang Cheng's thieves deceived his teacher and treason, causing Luoyang City to temporarily fall into the hands of the rebels. Lin Yu replied without humility or arrogance, for Liang Cheng is his father's proud protΓ©gΓ©, this is also a matter that everyone knows about the Chinese military officials. It's better to find out directly as soon as possible, so that you can test the emperor's intentions, so as not to be put forward by some people with ulterior motives and fall into passivity. Second, when he said this, it was equivalent to taking over the matter of Liang Cheng's rebellion, so that the prince could not be affected by the whirlpool of this incident, and lay the foundation for the next initiative in discourse.
A thing or a person, his greatest strength, but also his biggest shortcoming.
Lin Yu himself had to admit that there was also a great danger when he spoke so bluntly. Wan has been in contact with Angry Dragon Yan, or the prince has taken the opportunity to shirk all responsibility. The consequences would be unimaginable.
Lin Yu naturally didn't think about these things, when he came, his father said to him in private, the saint can distinguish right from wrong, but the prince is also a king, although the prince is weak, but the lord of the house is benevolent, and he dares to take responsibility!
As soon as Lin Yu's words fell, the civil and military officials had already begun to talk in private.
At this time, the prince's expression was very nervous, and he kept giving Lin Yu a look in secret, signaling him not to talk nonsense.
But Lin Yu pretended not to see it, and looked at the emperor with two bright eyes.
I saw that although the emperor had a little anger on his face, there was no murderous intent in this angry face.
After perceiving this, Lin Yu breathed a sigh of relief.
"Three months ago, there were only thousands of displaced people in rebellion, but now they have become a prairie fire. This was actually the dereliction of duty of Lin Hao, the secretary of the Ministry of War, which caused this catastrophe. Now that the March period is approaching, please also ask the Holy Lord to behead Lin Hao's entire clan according to the previous holy will, so that the people can be angry and thank the world!" Xia Guogong stood up indignantly and said angrily.
"Presumptuous, Xiahou Ying, are you teaching my father how to do it?" the prince scolded angrily.
"Second brother doesn't need to be angry, Xia Guogong is just telling the truth!" A sneer appeared on the corner of King Fu's mouth, and he deliberately added a few accents to the truth.
Most of the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty were Fu Wang's henchmen, some were co-opted by him, and some took the initiative to take refuge, of course, the most were caused by his coercion. After all, the figures of Dongchang and Jinyiwei are pervasive, and their means of rectifying people are endless.
No matter what the purpose is, now that King Fu has already expressed his position, the others are you look at me, I look at you, and then under the leadership of Geng Zhongwen, the secretary of the ministry, they all knelt down in unison and echoed the words of King Fu and Xia Guogong.
When the prince saw this scene, he was so frightened that his whole body trembled slightly. Unexpectedly, his younger brother would win over so many civil and military officials.
Lin Yu's expression was cold at first, and the eyebrows condensed into a thick cloud of sorrow. But when he saw the emperor's expression, he also stretched out slightly.
Because he knew that the Holy Lord was angry, and it was the kind of anger with murderous intent. Compared with the flames and wars outside, this faction and selfishness in the DPRK and China are even more terrifying.
Now that the emperor still has the energy to control the overall situation, they dare to force the palace like this. If this goes on for a long time, the consequences will be really unimaginable! I can think of this, as the emperor of the Ninth Five-Year Plan, he naturally knows very well in his heart the harm of the vassal king colluding with the important officials of the court and the central government to form a party for personal gain.
What's more, now King Fu has almost developed all the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty into his own henchmen. This makes the saint who holds the absolute power of the Ming Empire, how can he not be afraid?
However, the group of civil and military officials were all elm heads, and they kowtowed vigorously, asking the saint to kill Lin Hao to establish Tianwei.
Although the emperor was very disgusted by this, he did order Lin Hao to quell the rebellion for three months, and now that the period of March is approaching, if he does not impose punishment, I am afraid it will be difficult to convince the public.
After thinking for a while, the emperor shifted his gaze to the prince and asked, "Prince, what do you think about this matter?"
The crown prince hurriedly responded: "Back to my father, now that the rebels are becoming a spark of fire, if Lin Hao is beheaded now, it will be easy to shake the hearts of the army." And kill Lin Hao, a hundred civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty, who can serve as the commander of the counterinsurgency and sweep away Xu Ming's rebellion?"
After saying this, the prince shifted his gaze to Xia Guogong again, and asked with a solemn expression: "Xia Guogong, I wonder if your old man can take on this great responsibility?"
Xia Guogong was asked by the crown prince, his expression suddenly darkened, and he didn't know how to deal with it, and he glanced at King Fu secretly out of the corner of his eye, hoping to get instructions from him.
However, before King Fu gave the envoy of Xia Guo a look, he heard the prince ask coldly: "If the Duke of Xia can take on this great responsibility, then in front of the civil and military officials of the dynasty and his father, he will make a military order, if he can't put down Xu Ming's rebellion within three months, he is willing to punish the nine clans to thank the world!"
Hearing the last sentence "I am willing to punish the nine clans to thank the world", Xia Guogong was so frightened that his whole body trembled, and his expression was as ugly as eating a bunch of dead flies.
When the emperor saw Xia Guogong's reaction, he was immediately extremely disappointed in him. shouted at the Manchu Dynasty civil and military: "Ladies and gentlemen, who can take on this important task, for the sake of the country, go to the front line, and sweep away the rebellion of Xu Ming's thieves!"
The emperor's voice was still echoing in mid-air, and the civil and military officials below were already silent. Everyone buried their heads deeply, lest they be seen by the emperor.
The commander of the three armies, in the past peaceful and prosperous times, everyone must break their heads and rush forward, after all, this is a position with a lot of oil and water, and what kind of salary and position can be used to make money......
However, at this time, the flames were raging, and Xu Ming also summoned a group of martial arts warriors, and now he is going, undoubtedly because his life is too long.
Looking at a group of civil and military officials who usually quarrel with each other, scolding each other, one is better than the other, and now they are all mute. On the emperor's expression, a deep sense of disappointment immediately appeared, and he scolded angrily: "Waste, a group of waste, I don't know what is the use of raising your group of waste?"
Seeing this scene, the prince glanced at Lin Yu, and immediately said respectfully: "Father, the son of the emperor recommends a person, if this person is the commander of the three armies, he will definitely be able to sweep away the rebels in one fell swoop." β
When the emperor heard this, he couldn't help but be overjoyed, and hurriedly said, "Who has this magical power?"
The prince glanced at Lin Yu again from the corner of his eye, and said, "The son of Lin Hao, the secretary of the military department, Lin Yu!"
As soon as the prince's words came out, they immediately shocked the four seats, and all of a sudden, the civil and military officials, who were still like stagnant water, immediately boiled again, tossing up and down, left and right.
Lin Yu, who couldn't interject on the side, was also shocked when he heard this. He just wanted to excuse himself, but when he saw the prince's eyes, his lips moved slightly, and then he swallowed back the words that had been raised to his throat. He stood there silently, silent.
The emperor took another closer look at Lin Yu, and a complex light flashed in his deep eyes. Then he shifted his attention to the civil and military officials, and said, "Zhong Aiqing, what do you think of the prince's proposal, can this Lin Yu take on this great responsibility?"
"Your Majesty, Weichen thinks this move is inappropriate. First, Lin Yu was young and young, and he didn't have any command experience. It will certainly be difficult to convince the public, and the three armed forces will not be convinced. Second, it will also make the rebels laugh at me, and I have no one to do, so I even sent a stinky hairy boy to serve as the commander of the three armies. Xia Guogong also hurriedly stood up and said respectfully.
When the other civil and military officials heard Xia Guogong's words, they immediately echoed like a swarm of flies......
