Everything starts from Menghualu

Chapter 299: Making trouble
Ouyang Lun, who had this idea in mind, no longer doubted Ling Buhuo's words. After all, His Majesty was too young and was far from old and frail.

So no matter who it is, there is enough time to do a lot of things. If this was the situation before, he should actually be happy.

After all, the Third Prince was weak at that time, so it would naturally take a long time, but it is different now. Now the Third Prince no longer needs that long.

Because now he has the advantage, what he needs now is to cut through the mess with a quick knife and make sure it is done as soon as possible. But unfortunately, this knife is not in the hands of the third prince, but in the hands of His Majesty.

So this is destined to happen, and it is inevitable that some things will happen, such as the bitter trick Ling Buhuo said, even if His Majesty saw the clues.

He would not go to war for his own little adviser. This kind of matter would definitely be reduced to a big matter, a trivial matter. As long as he died, it would naturally be over.

But let alone saying that he didn't want to die, just talking about the situation faced by the Third Highness after his death made him shudder, because at that time, there was no one he could trust around him.

But it was precisely because of this that he thought of a question, so he said directly, "Master Hou, I believe what you said, but there is something I can't understand."

"That is, if it is your style, you should not tell me this. You should wait for their plan to succeed and then show up to His Highness. You will get more by then, right?"

"Haha, sir, what you said makes sense, but you have forgotten one thing. His Highness does not trust me. If you die, I will never gain his trust in this life."

"What if I let you hide this time? What about the second time? What about the third time? Without me delivering the news to you, you would have died in their plan sooner or later."

"Haha, sir, what you said is too modest. I have confidence in you, sir. This matter will definitely come true. There will be absolutely no mistakes. Am I right?" Ling Buhuo said with a smile.

Ling Buhuo, who left the courtyard, quickly stopped smiling. After returning to Tingwei's Mansion, he packed himself neatly because he was waiting for the summons.

"And when the time comes, I'm afraid that the Yue Concubine will not be able to help you plead for mercy." Ouyang Lun said

"Well, what you said makes sense, sir. This matter really cannot be left unchecked, but who should be sent there and when should they go?" the third prince said.

"Your Highness, this matter is very hidden. Naturally, we can only handle it later. As for time, the sooner the better. This is just to prevent alerting the enemy."

"We still need to make some preparations before we can set off, so I think tomorrow is the best day." Ouyang Lun said

While Ling Buhuo was sitting and waiting, Ouyang Lun had already returned to the third prince's residence, and then selectively told the third prince what Ling Buhuo had said.

"Okay, Marquis Xiangwu, I agreed. I will tell His Highness the Third Highness when I go back. As for what he will do, I don't know." Ouyang Lun said

Hahaha, hahaha, after hearing this, Ling Buhuo laughed and left, leaving Ouyang Lun standing there with a gloomy face, not knowing what to think.

"You are not helping me, you are helping yourself. After all, it is too easy for Mr. Lou to plot against you as a commoner."

"Marquis Xiangwu, you are so confident, will I help you?" Ouyang Lun asked.

"Hiss, Marquis Xiangwu, you are really good at calculating. This time I was tricked by you. You didn't want to see His Highness this time. You just wanted to see me, right?" Ouyang Lun said mockingly to himself.

"Back to Your Highness, Ling Buhu is a cunning and insidious man. I don't know whether he can be trusted or not, but whether what he says is true or false, we cannot let him go."

"After all, if what he said is true, it is indeed a trouble. The Queen has just died not long ago. If something like this happens at this time, there is no guarantee that His Majesty will not impose a heavy punishment."

"He is near Huangzhuang in the western suburbs? Sir, how credible do you think it is?" the third prince asked.

It's just that he doesn't know who will arrive first, but it makes no difference to him.

"That's right, I really can't see His Highness the Third Prince now. Otherwise, once the Prince discovers it, I won't be able to explain it." Ling Buhuo said

After hearing this, Ouyang Lun's face instantly turned ugly, but he still gritted his teeth and said, "Yes, Marquis Xiangwu, you are right, there will definitely be no problem."

"So you will help me, because helping me is helping yourself. After all, you don't want to die, right? Seeing that victory is in sight, what a pity it would be to die now?" Ling Buhuo said with a smile.

"On the contrary, as long as you are alive, you will speak for me, right?" Ling Buhuo said.

"Okay, if that's the case, then I'll take a trip, Mr. Kuaishou. I'm tired today, so I'd better go back and have a rest soon." The third prince said with a gentle look.

After hearing this, Ouyang Lun was naturally moved. Then he bowed and exited the study. When Ouyang Lun came out of the study, his expression became a little unnatural.

Because just now, he didn't say a lot of important news. The most critical news was that he didn't say anything about the fact that this plan was to deal with him.

After all, these are all Ling Buhuo's words. If he says it now, if he is plotted by then, it will be a dereliction of duty on his part as a counselor.

Another layer is that if he really tells the truth, he will not be able to guarantee his safety, because then his life will be in the hands of the third prince.

If this was normal, he wouldn't worry about it, but that's not the case now. Now he has an additional opponent, a very scary opponent.

Ling Buhuo was a cunning and insidious person. He never knew when he would plot against him. If he deceived the third prince, he would be dead.

So naturally he would not tell the third prince. At the same time, Ling Buhuo finally waited for the person he was waiting for, and then followed the person into the palace.

Ling Buhuo, who entered the imperial study, naturally saluted quickly. Emperor Wen waved his hand when he saw this, and after he sat down, he said, "Ai Qing, you have been very busy recently. Where have you been today?"

"Back to Your Majesty, today I went to a courtyard in the east city and met Ouyang Lun, the counselor of His Highness the Third Highness." Ling Buhuo said, "Oh? What you said was too cheerful. Why don't you deny it?" Emperor Wen asked curiously.
"Your Majesty, since you ask this, it means that you already know everything. Besides, I have a clear conscience, so I naturally say what I have to say." Ling Buhuo bowed and said

"Hahaha, you have a clear conscience, so tell me, what did you all say?" Emperor Wen laughed.
"Back to Your Majesty, Ouyang Lun said that the Third Highness asked him to win over me. He said that the Third Highness was willing to give me another chance and let me think about it carefully." Ling Buhuo bowed and said

"Oh? Really? Zichen, I remember that you tricked Sanlang so hard before. How could he send someone to win you over? Are you sure you are right?" Emperor Wen asked.
"Your Majesty, to be honest, I also have such doubts. After all, there are some things that I know very well, so naturally I did not agree directly, but said that I would think about it."

"Unexpectedly, Ouyang Lun became impatient. He actually told me a secret. He said that Taifu Lou had agreed to cooperate with him." Ling Buhuo paused at this point.

Although Emperor Wen was a little surprised after hearing this, he did not show it because Ling Buhuo's answers a few days ago made him suspicious of Ling Buhuo.

In other words, it was simply confirmed. Ling Buhuo was still on the side of the prince, but he had lost his duty as a minister.

So he didn't ask, but motioned for Ling Buhuo to continue speaking, and Ling Buhuo naturally didn't dare to neglect when he saw this.

"I naturally don't believe what Ouyang Lun said. After all, Grand Tutor Lou is the Grand Duke. He can be said to be the person who has the closest relationship with His Royal Highness. How could he have a problem?"

"So I directly said it was impossible. When Ouyang Lun saw that I still didn't believe it, he directly told me that the major events that happened in the capital recently were their work."

"When I asked him what the big deal was, he didn't tell me. Instead, he asked me to wait and watch the show. However, on the way back, I finally thought of some possibilities."

"The biggest thing in the capital right now should be that the two young masters of the Lou family have disappeared." Ling Buhuo said

"Huh? Zichen. You mean, the two sons of the Lou family were tied up and they sang the double act together? Then what was their purpose in doing this?" Emperor Wen asked.
"Your Majesty, I have also thought about this issue, but I didn't have a clue at first. But then I suddenly thought that I might have thought too much."

"His Third Highness's goal is naturally to be the crown prince, and the Lou family's goal is probably just to find a way out. After all, these aristocratic families are most willing to do this."

"And the third prince's plan should be related to this person's disappearance. For example, will the person who did it reveal some flaws in his studies?" Ling Buhuo asked.

"Hahaha, hahaha, it's really ridiculous, Ling Zichen, why did you think of saying it with such loopholes? Do you mean that the prince wants to take action against the Lou family?"

"Ling Zichen, you are getting more and more courageous. Do you really think that I dare not kill you?" Emperor Wen immediately became furious after hearing this.

"Your Majesty, calm down your anger. Your Majesty, calm down your anger. I thought wrong at first, but later I realized that I might have been misled. Ouyang Lun's original intention was not to directly deal with the prince."

"His purpose may be to force Taifu Lou to go to his side. After all, once this incident breaks out, there will inevitably be a gap between the prince and Taifu Lou."

"Then he will win the minister to his side. Will the prince be by his side then? Yes, it must be like this, it must be like this." Ling Buhuo explained.

After hearing this, Emperor Wen's expression suddenly changed, because Ling Buhuo's statement was probably true, and perhaps the purpose of all this was to cut off the prince's gang members.

A prince who has no one around him is naturally not far away from being deposed. However, it is impossible for him to interfere in this way. He will naturally get what he wants when the time comes.

Emperor Wen felt uncomfortable when he thought of this. His mood was very complicated. After all, how did his son come up with such a complicated plan?

How could such a vicious thought be used so openly on his own brother? At this time, as a father, he felt very sad. After all, he did not want to see flesh and blood killing each other.

But from the perspective of an emperor, he had to admire his third son. What he did this time was really impeccable. The only pity was that he was too anxious.

And he also underestimated the Ling Buhuo in front of him. This Ling Zichen had always been a faggot, but little did he know that he was also a courtier with pursuits.

In fact, he has always been able to understand Ling Buhuo's intentions. Ling Zichen was very ambitious. The reason why he wholeheartedly assists the prince is because the prince has a soft temper.

In the future, after the prince ascends the throne, he will be able to get more power, but he forgot that I still have the final say now, so any little ideas are of no use to him.

"Okay, don't let the second person know what you said to me today. As for the third child, you should stop talking to me and you will not have any private contact in the future." Emperor Wen said directly.
After hearing this, Ling Buhuo naturally bowed quickly and then slowly exited the imperial study.

After he left, Emperor Wen called Jiang Chong in, and then ordered, "Assign people to keep a close eye on Ouyang Lun in Sanlang's mansion. I will know every move he makes."

After hearing this, Jiang Chong naturally bowed and agreed, and then exited the imperial study. After he left, Emperor Wen sat down completely, and then frowned, not knowing what he was thinking.

At this time, Ling Buhuo had already arrived at the East Palace. That's right, after he came out of the Imperial Study Room, he did not leave the palace, but went directly to the East Palace to see the prince.

"Your Highness, the matter has come to an end and everything will be done." Ling Buhuo bowed and said

"Zi Chen, it's not that I don't trust you, is it really useful for you to do this? You know, maybe what happened this time is not a bad thing for my father." The prince worriedly said
"Your Highness, if what happened this time to the Third Highness was in the past, he would definitely be rewarded, but now the time is different, so the result will naturally be different."

"Now the offense and defense are in different positions. We have become the weak side. On the contrary, the third prince seems to be aggressive. This will make people unhappy, and the same is naturally true for Your Majesty."

"So no matter what the outcome of this incident is, the Third Prince will definitely lose points in His Majesty's heart in the end, and this will give you more time to buffer."

"Your Highness, just wait and see. Even if His Majesty is deliberately partial this time, it won't work." Ling Buhuo said.

"When you say this, I am even more curious. Why is this? Where does your confidence come from?" the prince asked.
"Your Highness, even if you know some of your thoughts, you must not show them too openly. After all, Your Majesty is still in his prime, isn't he?"

"A weak prince will naturally displease His Majesty, but similarly, an ambitious prince will naturally not gain His Majesty's trust." Ling Buhuo said.
