"The Yuwen family is orthodox. I told you before I left the capital that Feng Shu is the emperor's inner demon. As long as she is killed, the emperor will wake up forever. He has a clear and honest administration. Although he has made mistakes, he still has a clear conscience. Space to save. If you hadn't helped Zhixu conquer the imperial army, how could Zhixu have usurped the throne in Kyoto alone? Where did you put A Bao in this way? You want A Bao to become the crown prince of a subjugated country, worthy of your sister and nephew, and worthy of your grandfather's death. "Is this the previous instruction?" Lin Hongcheng was furious, "Now you still have to persuade the clan to implement the New Deal. From now on, the clan will have no say. The imperial power is supreme, who can check and balance?"

"Checks and balances, checks and balances... What have the clans gained by balancing the royal family for many years?" Lin Heli asked in a deep voice, "Second uncle, the clan has controlled the royal family for nearly 200 years. There are many clans, numerous in-laws, and intricate connections. But what have you gained in the end? The royal family is in turmoil, and the people are in dire straits. If it weren't for the clans, the war in the Northern Barbarians would have calmed down long ago, and the country would have been stable. What would we gain from checking and balancing? Since checking and balancing is wrong, why can't we turn around in time?"

"It's a bunch of nonsense, back then it was..."

"Okay, why bring up things that happened hundreds of years ago?" Lin Hongyuan frowned. He and Lin Hongcheng both paid filial piety for three years, and Lin Heli had a one-year filial piety period. He exercised the power of the family head on their behalf, and it happened to catch up with their filial piety. Before the end of the term, Fu Zhixu came to power. If Lin Hongyuan said that the eldest son was unintentional, Lin Hongyuan didn't believe it. It seemed that he had planned it for a long time. "Bai Qing, do you really want to do this?"

"Yes!" Lin Heli knelt straight, "Grandpa told us before he died to protect the people of the country, not the country of Yuwen's family. Since Yuwen's family can't be the emperor, let's try another person. Knowing the military power, With wealth and power in one body, intelligent and steady, and a firm mind, the Yuwen clan only imprisoned Qiushan, and released it at their discretion after three years, and would not kill innocent people indiscriminately. I believe he can create a peaceful and prosperous world. In the past three years, I have gradually understood one thing, this It doesn't matter who is the emperor in the world. The common people want a life full of food and clothing. Whoever can give them such a life is a wise monarch. An emperor like Yu Wenjing is unworthy of virtue and embarrassing. A Baonian You, the young master ascended the throne, the foundation is not stable, only Zhixu can bring us the life we ​​want, father, second uncle, it is time for you to think about how the Lin family will go next, if you go wrong, then go back No head."

"The emperor issued an imperial edict, and A Bao ascended the throne. You will be the regent. After more than ten years, when A Bao takes charge, you will return the power. This world still belongs to the Yuwen family. Could it be that in more than ten years, we can't teach anyone wiser than Xie Xun? Young King, do you insist on ruining Abao's throne?" Lin Hongcheng was extremely dissatisfied.

Lin Heli said calmly, "I have been regent for more than ten years, how come my uncle is so sure that I will definitely return my power to Abao?"

Lin Hongcheng, "..."

Lin Yushu stood outside the ancestral hall and had been listening for a long time. Since his father and uncle came back, his brother was punished to kneel in the ancestral hall. Lin Yushu was waiting outside and heard their quarrel.

She couldn't bear it any longer, walked in quickly, and knelt down beside Lin Heli, "Father, second uncle, A Bao is too young to be the emperor. Now that Xu can let us mother and son go home, my daughter is satisfied. Now it's a done deal. , father and second uncle don't blame brother, and don't insist on going your own way, three years ago... our family made a wrong decision, and now don't make the same mistake again. "

Lin Hongyuan and Lin Hongcheng both fell silent. Lin Heli frowned slightly and his heart skipped a beat. "Three years ago... what did you do wrong?"

Lin Yushu looked at the two elders and hesitated to speak. Lin Heli saw that the expressions of the two elders were different, his heartbeat increased, and his eyes were cold and calm, "Yushu, tell me!"

"Three years ago, Yu Wenjing secretly forged red sand arrows in the palace. I ordered people to send the news back to the mansion. My father and second uncle intercepted the information and did not tell grandpa." Lin Yushu's voice became smaller and smaller.The simpler the words, the more hidden information, the more terrified Lin Heli was when he heard it. In fact, he had already guessed that three years ago, Mr. Lin Ge had intended to cooperate with the Zhenbeihou Mansion to implement the new policy.Later, after the death of her daughter, she was so angry that she couldn't afford to be ill. She didn't want to see Lin Hongyuan and Lin Hongcheng before she died.

Lin Heli had a guess in his mind, but did not confirm it. This was also a very cruel thing for Lin Heli. It was very cruel to prove that his father and second uncle ignored the disaster of his aunt's family and stood aside, so Lin Heli was rarely confused and did not delve into it. .Later, when the two elders observed their filial piety, he was even more reluctant to settle old scores. Xie Xun asked him what role Lin played in the destruction of the Hou Mansion. Lin Heli could only tell Xie Xun sternly that Lin had never intentionally harmed the Hou Mansion.

Yes, the Lin family had no intention of causing harm, but they stood idly by, knowing full well that Yu Wenjing had bad intentions, neither warning nor protecting him, and watched the Zhenbei Hou Mansion be destroyed overnight.

"Father, second uncle, how could you do this to your aunt?"

Lin Hongcheng's eyes were red, and the pain in his eyes was not fake, "How could we have thought that he was so crazy? At that time, we knew that red sand arrows were forged in the palace, and we also knew that Yu Wenjing sent the imperial army to set up defenses in the city. We thought it was the late emperor who wanted to attack Zhenbei. Hou set out to kill only one of them. Once he died, the hearts of the Hou family were shattered. We brothers and father were able to save our sister and children even if we risked our lives, but we just didn't expect... we didn't expect that he would kill them all!"

"I didn't expect... I didn't expect it. So, Zhixu once asked me whether Lin knew that Yu Wenjing wanted to kill the Hou Mansion. Zhixu could notice something strange. Do you think Tingfeng didn't notice it? Three years The former clan is plotting such a big thing in the capital, and there is no way to hide it from you. It turned out that you just sat back and watched your aunt's family being killed. Now you are still insisting on opposing Zhi Xu's ascension to the throne. Are you afraid that Zhi Xu will be settled later? "Lin Heli's The tone couldn't help but become a bit sharp, how ironic.

"Neither Jianming Emperor nor Yu Wenjing could be seen as such a cold-blooded and ruthless person three years ago, let alone Emperor Jianming. How could we have thought of..." Lin Hongcheng defended, but his words were pale. These three years ago, they During the filial piety, I didn't get a good night's sleep, and I regretted it countless times. If they hadn't intercepted the message and told my father, would this tragedy never have happened.

But time cannot be turned back, and their regrets are of no use, and the grief in their hearts is difficult to express.

"You can't look back on the past. Father, second uncle, you still have a chance to make amends. It's not too late to make amends."

"Zhi Xuruo knows." Lin Hongyuan also felt that he had no confidence.

"Zhixu is not the kind of person who kills innocent people indiscriminately and expresses his anger. He pays more attention to blood and family ties than you think. You... admit your mistake." Lin Heli said, "You can't do something wrong and be confused for the rest of your life. In your heart It’s not easy either.”
