Chapter 464 In court, a secret confrontation

As soon as Lin Yu and Yingying walked to the gate of the palace, they saw a man in brocade clothes, escorted by four masters, and greeted him directly.

"Brother Prince..." Yingying shouted excitedly when she saw the person coming.

The prince pampered Yingying's blue hair, and asked softly: "Yingying, are you okay, brother, I'm so worried, I'm going to take someone to find you!"

Yingying smiled a little embarrassedly, and hurriedly took the prince's hand, walked up to Lin Yu, pointed to Lin Yu and introduced: "Brother Prince, it was Brother Lin who saved me this time. If it wasn't for him, you would have done it again I can’t see Yingying anymore.”

Lin Yu bowed to the prince and said, "Cao Min Lin Yu has seen His Royal Highness the Prince!"

The prince looked Lin Yu up and down carefully, and said, "Are you the son of Mr. Lin?"

Lin Yu nodded slightly, and replied, "Exactly!"

Seeing Lin Yu's affirmative answer, the prince smiled slightly and said: "Sure enough, you are a good-looking talent, and my wayward sister, you are like a golden couple."

"Brother Prince, what are you talking about? If you say these things again, Yingying will ignore you." Yingying's face flushed with shame when she heard the prince's words, she hurriedly lowered her head and said softly.

"Hehe, our Princess Yingying is still shy, what an anecdote!" the prince said with a smile.

"Hmph, I'm ignoring you." Yingying snorted and ran away.

Seeing that Yingying had left, the prince put away the smile just now, and asked with a slightly solemn expression: "How is Mr. Lin?"

Lin Yu nodded lightly, and said, "Please worry about your highness, my father is well."

"Is it true that Liang Cheng, the commander-in-chief of Hangu Pass, defected to the enemy?" When asking this question, the prince glanced around and asked in a low voice.

Lin Yu's expression seemed to be sprinkled with a layer of frost, he nodded slightly, and replied: "Well, it's the truth. Liang Cheng turned to the enemy and attacked Luoyang from Hangu Pass. With the support of his party, he captured Luoyang City .”

Before Lin Yu finished speaking, he saw the prince tightly clenched his fists, the veins protruding from his arms were clearly visible, he gritted his teeth and shouted coldly: "Liang Cheng is really an ungrateful beast , In vain for the kindness of Duke Lin’s promotion and training.”

After a brief conversation with the prince, Lin Yu followed the eunuchs who came to summon him and walked towards the Jinluan hall one after another.

Above the Jinluan Hall, the left and right sides are full of civil and military officials. At a glance, the figures of a few acquaintances come into Lin Yu's eyes, and King Fu shows a cold smile to him.

"I pay my respects to my father!" The prince walked in the center of the hall, knelt down and said respectfully.

"Caomin Lin Yu pays homage to the emperor!" Lin Yu also knelt down and shouted respectfully.

"Let's get back together, both of you!" The emperor sitting on the dragon chair, with a somewhat angry face on his face, calmed down a little when he saw Lin Yu and the prince coming, raised his hand slightly, and responded road.

The person in the audience is Lin Yu, the eldest son of Lord Lin, Minister of War? " Just as Lin Yu got up, the emperor's voice came again.

Lin Yu cupped his hands and said, "It's the grassroots!"

"That's right, it's really extraordinary appearance, with the style of Lord Lin back then!" The emperor suddenly showed a slight smile on the corner of his mouth, and praised him.

Lin Yu respectfully replied: "The emperor's praise!"

"Mr. Lin, how about being on the front line?" The emperor asked again abruptly.

At this time, Lin Yu saw that there was still a faint smile on the corner of the emperor's mouth, but he knew very well in his heart that there was already a murderous intention in ambush.As long as I answer carelessly and offend Long Yan, the family may be wiped out at any time.What's more, there are King Fu, Xia Guogong and other people staring at him.

"Thanks to the grace, my father is in good health. It's just that Liang Cheng's traitor deceived his teacher and treasoned the country, causing Luoyang City to temporarily fall into the hands of the rebels." Lin Yu responded neither humble nor overbearing, for Liang Cheng is his father's favorite student , This is also something that everyone in the Korean and Chinese military officials knows.It's better to clarify it earlier, so as to test the emperor's intentions, so as not to be brought up by some people with ulterior motives and fall into a passive position.Secondly, when he said this, it was tantamount to taking over Liang Cheng's rebellion, so that the prince could not be affected by the vortex of this incident, and laid the foundation for the next fight for the initiative to speak.

For a thing or a person, his greatest strength is also his greatest weakness.

Lin Yu himself has to admit that it is very dangerous for him to speak so bluntly.Wan has been in contact with Nu Longyan, or the prince took the opportunity to shirk all responsibility.Then the consequences will be unimaginable.

Naturally, Lin Yu has not thought about these things. When he came, his father told him in private that the emperor can tell right from wrong, and he is a wise king. Take charge!

As soon as Lin Yu's voice fell, all civil and military officials began to discuss in private.

At this time, the prince's expression was very nervous, and he kept winking at Lin Yu in secret, signaling him not to talk nonsense.

But Lin Yu looked at the emperor with piercing eyes as if he hadn't seen it.

I saw that although there was a bit of anger on the emperor's face, there was no killing intent in this anger.

After realizing this, Lin Yu breathed a sigh of relief.

"Three months ago, only a few thousand refugees rebelled, but now it has turned into a prairie fire. This is really due to the dereliction of duty by the minister of the Ministry of War, Lin Hao, which caused this catastrophe. Now that the three months are approaching, please follow the previous holy order , Kill Lin Hao's entire family, and thank the world for this common people's anger!" Xia Guogong stood up angrily, and said angrily.

"Presumptuous, Xia Houying, are you teaching my father what to do?" the prince scolded angrily.

"Second brother, don't be angry, Xia Guogong is just telling the truth!" A sneer appeared on the corner of Fu Wang's mouth, and he deliberately added a few words to the truth.

Most of the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty were all partisans of King Fu, some were drawn in by him, some took the initiative to seek refuge, and of course the most were coerced by him.After all, the figures of Dongchang and Jinyiwei are everywhere, and their methods of manipulating people are endless.

No matter what the purpose is, now that King Fu has made his statement, the others are you looking at me and I looking at you, and then under the leadership of Geng Zhongwen, Minister of the Ministry of Officials, they all knelt down and agreed with King Fu And Xia Guogong's words.

Seeing this scene, the prince 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 turned cold at first, and then a thick cloud of sorrow condensed between his brows.But when he saw the emperor's expression, he relaxed slightly.

Because he already knew that the Holy Majesty was angry, and it was the kind of anger with killing intent.Compared with the flames of war outside, the formation of cliques and private interests in the court is 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 unimaginable!I can think of this myself, as the emperor of the ninety-five years, he is naturally very aware of the dangers of the vassal king colluding with the important officials in the court and forming 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 cronies.This makes the Holy One who holds the absolute power of the Ming Empire, how can there be no reason to be afraid?

However, the group of civil and military officials were all elm-headed, kowtowing and begging the Holy One to kill Lin Hao to establish Tianwei.

Although the emperor was very disgusted by this, he did order Lin Hao to put down the rebellion in three months. Now that the three-month period is approaching, if no punishment is imposed, it may 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 prince hurriedly responded respectfully: "Reporting to my father, the rebel army is now on the verge of starting a prairie fire. If Lin Hao is beheaded now, it will easily shake the morale of the army. And if Lin Hao is killed, the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty, who can be responsible for countering the rebellion?" Commander, clear up Xu Ming's rebellion?"

After saying this, the prince turned his attention to Xia Guogong again, and asked with a solemn expression: "Xia Guogong, I wonder if your old man can take on this important task?"

Xia Guogong was asked such a question by the prince, and his expression darkened for a while. He didn't know how to respond. He secretly glanced at King Fu from the corner of his eyes, hoping to get instructions from him.

However, before King Fu could wink at Minister Xia, the prince asked coldly, "If Duke Xia can take on this important task, then he should issue a military order in front of all civil and military officials of the court and the emperor. If he can't within three months To put down Xu Ming's rebellion, I am willing to punish the nine clans to thank the world!"

Hearing the last sentence "Willing to kill the nine clans to thank the world", Xia Guogong was so frightened that his whole body trembled, his expression was as ugly as if he had eaten a bunch of dead flies.

When the emperor saw Duke Xia's reaction, he was immediately disappointed.He shouted to the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty: "My dear friends, who can take on this important task, for the sake of the country, go to the front line, and wipe out Xu Ming's rebellion!"

The emperor's voice was still echoing in the air, and all the civil and military officials below were completely silent.All of them buried their heads deeply, fearing that the emperor would see them.

Commander of the three armies, in the peaceful and prosperous times in the past, everyone would definitely break their heads and scramble to get there. After all, this is a lucrative position, and any salary and position can be used to make money...

However, at this time, the flames of war are raging, and Xu Ming has also gathered a group of dead fighters with high martial arts skills. Going now, he undoubtedly thinks that his life is too long.

Looking at a group of civil and military officials who usually fight with each other and quarrel with each other, one is better than the other, and now all of them have become dumb.A deep sense of disappointment immediately appeared on the emperor's expression, and he cursed angrily: "Trash, a bunch of trash, I don't know what use it is for me to raise you bunch of trash?"

Seeing this scene, the prince glanced at Lin Yu, and immediately said respectfully: "Father, my minister recommends a person. If this person is the commander-in-chief of the three armies, he will definitely be able to wipe out the rebels in one fell swoop."

When the emperor heard this, he couldn't help being overjoyed, and hurriedly said: "Who has this supernatural power?"

The prince glanced at Lin Yu again from the corner of his eye, and said, "Lin Yu, the son of Lin Hao, Minister of War!"

As soon as the prince's words came out, everyone was shocked immediately. The civil and military officials who had just been like stagnant water immediately turned upside down, left and right, like boiling water.

Lin Yu, who couldn't get in the way, was shocked when he heard this.He was about to decline, but seeing the wink from the prince again, his lips moved a few times, and then he swallowed back the words that had already been brought into his throat.Standing there quietly, no more words.

The emperor looked at Lin Yu carefully again, and a complex light flashed in his deep eyes.Then he turned his attention to the civil and military officials again, and said, "all my loves, what do you think of the prince's proposal? Can this Lin Yu take on this great responsibility?"

"Reporting to the emperor, I think this is inappropriate. First, Lin Yu is young and has no command experience. It will definitely be difficult to convince the public and the three armies. Second, it will also make the rebels laugh at me. People, you actually sent a young boy to serve as the commander-in-chief of the three armies." Xia Guogong also stood up hastily, and said respectfully.

After the other civil and military officials heard Xia Guogong's words, they immediately echoed like a swarm of flies...
