System, help me be an empress

Chapter 92 Beware of the King of Shu

Lin Hong trusted everything Xu Youxi said too much. At this moment, his mind was full of plans on how to kill the King of Shu.

"It's a pity that I don't have any evidence at hand..."

Xu Youxi hesitated to speak, but Lin Hongxian couldn't hold back anymore: "Your Majesty, you are too merciful. No matter whether the king of Shu has the intention to rebel or not, if the king wants the minister to die, how can the minister not die!"

"..."

He said that I am kind-hearted and soft-hearted? !

I actually have this advantage? !

Seeing that Xu Youxi didn't speak, Lin Hong became even more anxious: "Your Majesty, if you really want to find evidence, you can ask me to go to Shu to have a look. As long as the king of Shu has some thoughts that he shouldn't have, I can give you evidence." Get it out!"

At this time, Lin Hong was convinced in his heart that there was something wrong with the King of Shu, and it might even endanger the country.

"Are you sure you want to go to Shu in person? If the King of Shu really has an objection, your trip will be in great danger." Xu Youxi remembered that Lin Hong seemed to be saving his life.

Lin Hong knelt down with tears in his eyes: "I am willing to take this risk. Your Majesty's benevolence left me with your life, and your Majesty reappointed me regardless of past suspicions. Even if you are heartbroken, you must repay Your Majesty's kindness." Yeah!"

"..."

Xu Youxi specially called Lin Hong over, originally intending to let him cause some trouble to the King of Shu, and it would be best to let the King of Shu show his feet, but he never expected him to be so active.

Xu Youxi thought for a moment: "Okay, I will trouble you to make a trip to Shu this time. Just go and have a look. If there is a conflict with the King of Shu, you should take care of yourself first."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

"I also know that your trip is quite risky. Before that, I will let people record the good deeds you have done in "Gan Bao" to help you build momentum among the people. If the king of Shu is really rebellious, he will naturally worry about his reputation. , I dare not touch you easily."

"I thank you, Your Majesty!"

"When you go to Shu this time, first go to see if the adopted son of the King of Shu is his own, and whether he has other heirs; also, according to the confessions of several big Shanxi merchants arrested by Dali Temple this time, I suspect that Shu Wang once bought iron ore in large quantities."

"If the king of Shu bought it, there must be elite soldiers hidden in the land of Shu. You can observe the weapons in the hands of the soldiers guarding the city and the armor on their bodies."

Lin Hong listened very carefully.

The more Xu Youxi continued, the more he felt something was wrong.She suddenly discovered that as long as "the king of Shu intends to rebel" is brought in as a known condition, all emergencies can be connected in series.

If the land of Shu wants to develop outward, it must take down the city of Jingzhou, the gate of life, how to take it?
So he provided a lot of gunpowder to Jiang Yu of the White Lotus Sect, trying to turn Jingzhou into a purgatory on earth. At this time, he had an excuse to come out of Shu, and under the banner of saving the people of Jingzhou, he regained Jingzhou and established a base by the way.

At this time, Emperor Sheng Yuan just led his troops to confront Wala head-on, and the domestic troops were empty.If it happened that Emperor Sheng Yuan was defeated in a battle and his morale was greatly defeated, he could use the excuse of 'Qing Emperor's side' and go directly north to capture Shangjing; even if the imperial court won the battle with Wala, he would turn this victory into a miserable .

It's a pity that he missed two points in the end.

First, the flood disaster in Jingzhou will be stopped by Xu Youxi.

Second, after Emperor Sheng Yuan lost the battle, Wala actually had the idea of ​​directly seizing Dagan Jiangshan.

Thinking of this, Xu Youxi suddenly recalled that after he retreated from Oala, he cleaned up a large number of officials with negative loyalty in the court.

She was still thinking at the time, Wala was really rich, and he was able to buy so many spies in the Dagan court...

The group of officials cleared out by her must have been placed by the King of Shu, right?

"I'm going back to make preparations now."

"Go."

Regarding the King of Shu, I am really a little bit terrified. If he did all these things, then this person has been planning this country for some years.

There are no major events happening in the capital these days. Could it be because I have mobilized a large number of spies they planted in the court before, making the King of Shu worry that he will be exposed in advance?
Xu Youxi thought about it, if the above conjectures come true, Dagan may not be at peace again...

Half an hour later, the Royal Study Room.

"Your Majesty, why did Gan Bao write an article praising Lin Hong?" Liu Jiye was so angry that his face was livid, and his voice was angry, "When this person was the Minister of Dali Temple, he made many unjust, false and wrong cases! I, Liu Jiye, are considered Even death can't do such a despicable act!"

"I'll ask you one last time, whether you can write or not."

"Do not write!"

"Okay, then I will write it myself."

Xu Youxi picked up the pen, raised his eyes to look at Liu Jiye, and said with deep meaning: "After this issue of "Gan Bao" is published, the whole world will know that Lin Honglin, the patriarch, is the pillar of the current emperor's own writing. .”

"Your Majesty, you, you!" Liu Jiye hesitated to speak, full of grief and indignation, "How could you dirty your hands for this kind of person...Okay, I will write!"

"That's right." Xu Youxi said slowly, "I just asked you to state the facts. Did Lin Hong find out about the 'demotion of the two kings case'? In recent months, have the clans everywhere restrained their behavior? , Is it because Lin Hong is investigating them?"

"Yes."

"Liu Jiye, you have to learn to discuss things based on facts, not because of people, otherwise it would be unfair."

"But I really don't understand, Your Majesty, why I value Lin Hong so much! I have done so many honest and good officials, so I can't compare to him as Lin Hong!" Liu Jiye still did not give up persuading Xu Youxi to change his mind.

Xu Youxi sighed softly, Liu Jiye is good at everything, but he is too jealous, and he still has to find a way to suppress his temper.

"I suspect that the King of Shu has the intention of treason, and I sent Lin Hong to Shu this time to investigate the matter. If the King of Shu is really rebellious, then Lin Hong's trip will be a narrow escape. The newspaper wrote about him in the hope that the king of Shu would not dare to kill Lin Hong because of his good reputation among the people. Secondly, the king of Shu could not kill Lin Hong in the name of eliminating harm for the people."

"Besides, I asked you to record the truth, and I haven't let you create something out of nothing. There is nothing I can't write."

Think about how Mr. Rong made up a bunch of fairy tales out of nothing!

Liu Jiye was a little silent: "Your Majesty, you asked the "Gan Bao" to record Lin Hong's deeds. Have you ever thought about what the officials would think? Are you not afraid of the renunciation of the officials?"

"It's up to you." Xu Youxi raised his head and said seriously, "Your article must make the common people feel that Lin Hong is a worthy patriarch, and at the same time make all the officials feel from the bottom of their hearts that Lin Hong has changed his mind and reinvented himself. Be a man."

"..."

How about returning the pen to you?

"However, you are right to say that. Apart from Lin Hong, you are writing more about the deeds of court officials. Divide the writing into key points, and write about an official who is dedicated to people's livelihood and an official who is dedicated to fighting corrupt officials. I think the officials Shangshu Yutan is not bad. Put Lin Hong among the anti-clan officials, so the court officials will have nothing to say."
