Longevity starts from Yitian

Chapter 230 Sending troops to the Northern Qi Dynasty for the sake of the temple
Chen Pingping smiled slightly. After this review, the truth is basically revealed...

……

The afternoon of the second day.

In the Imperial Palace of Kyoto, Emperor Qing was fishing, and Chen Pingping sat beside him respectfully.

Emperor Qing asked: "This fellow Ji Qinglin... dared to go directly to Lin Xiang's mansion to arrest Lin Gong... how about it, did the interrogation reveal anything?"

Chen Pingping nodded, and handed the content of Lin Gong's confession recorded by Wang Qinian to Emperor Qing.

Emperor Qing took it, held it in his hand and looked at it carefully for a while, then sighed helplessly: "This kid Lin Gong... is really too straightforward... But his loyalty to Chengqian can be learned from the sun and the moon... When will I have such a loyal subject..."

Chen Pingping smiled slightly, and said, "This old slave will also be loyal to His Majesty all his life..."

Emperor Qing snorted coldly, and said: "A few days ago, that Ji Qinglin said the same thing...I don't believe it."

Chen Pingping said: "How does His Majesty plan to deal with Lin Gong?"

Emperor Qing said: "Don't worry, Prime Minister Lin will come over later, wait for him to come, and then talk slowly...fishing first."

Chen Pingping asked, "Did Your Majesty summon Prime Minister Lin?"

Emperor Qing shook his head and said: "I didn't call him, but he will definitely come."

Sure enough, not long after, Eunuch Hou came to pass, saying that Lin Xiang asked to see him.

Emperor Qing said: "Let him come over."

Not long after, Lin Xiang was brought by Hou Gonggong to the side of Emperor Qing.

When Lin Xiang saw Emperor Qing, he knelt down, put his head on the ground, and said in a low voice: "See Your Majesty!"

Emperor Qing waved his hand and said, "Pingshen."

Lin Xiang remained motionless, still kneeling, with his head resting on the ground.

Emperor Qing sighed, and said, "What? If I don't agree to let your son Lin Gong go, you'll just kneel here and never get up? Are you blackmailing me?"

Lin Xiangdao: "How dare you threaten Your Majesty? Please, Your Majesty, let my son live! I know that Gong'er was impulsive and made a big mistake, and the crime is inevitable. I don't expect His Majesty to spare him, but I only ask His Majesty to let him stay in the end." One life, I only hope that Gong'er will not die!"

Emperor Qing said: "I'm thinking about it, the inspection result of the Procuratorate hasn't come out yet, why is Prime Minister Lin so eager to intercede for your son? Could it be that... someone in the Procuratorate had a private message with Prime Minister Lin... …In the court of the Qing Dynasty, the Procuratorate and the Prime Minister are not allowed to interfere with each other in principle, private information, but it is a big taboo..."

Lin Xiangdao: "I don't know anything about the Procuratorate's news. These news... are all reminded by His Royal Highness the Eldest Princess. Please spare Gong'er's life, Your Majesty!"

Emperor Qing sighed deeply, and said: "Master Lin, it's not that I don't want to spare the life of Gong'er. After all, although this child has defected to Chengqian in private, he is loyal to Chengqian. When I die in the future, Chengqian will no longer hide." Long, Chengqian and Gong'er may be a good story of a monarch and his ministers... Unfortunately, what happened to Gong'er this time is really too big..."

Immediately, Lin Xiangxin set off a turbulent sea, and hurriedly said: "Your Majesty will live forever!"

Emperor Qing shook his head and said, "Forget it, I'm just an ordinary person, and I won't be deceived by those alchemists' so-called 'immortality' heresies. One day, I will die. Lin Xiang, it's not that I don't want to protect Gong This child is just the assassination of Cheng Jushu planned by Gong'er this time, and the target of the assassination is Fan Jian's second son, Fan Sizhe!"

"The relationship between Fan Jian and Zhen... Lin Xiang, you also know that Fan Jian has been my right-hand man since Qianlong was depressed and frustrated. Now, someone wants to assassinate his son and take his son's life. How can you tolerate it?"

"If I let you go, what will those old ministers who have followed me since I was a dragon think? Their hearts will be chilled by my behavior! Lin Xiang, if someone assassinates your son, I will do the same. Treat the master behind the scenes. Make, never tolerate!"

Lin Xiang was eager to save his son, and said anxiously: "Gong'er...he is not behind the scenes, he didn't intend to kill Fan Sizhe at all, he is just a tool to be used by others, Your Majesty! Gong'er is just a pawn, He is an insignificant chess piece, but he is my son, I implore His Majesty to save his life!"

Emperor Qing's face suddenly turned cold, and he said in a cold voice: "What does Prime Minister Lin mean by this? Could it be that...the assassination of Fan Jian's second son, Fan Sizhe, was not Gong'er's original intention, but the will imposed on him by the people behind him? Then the person behind him is Cheng Qian, if it is true what Lin Xiang said, I should give Cheng Qian the death penalty to comfort Fan Jian, right?!"

Lin Xiangxin was horrified, and quickly shook his head and said, "No, no! The assassination of Cheng Jushu has nothing to do with His Royal Highness, it is... Gong'er did it!"

At this moment, his heart was ashamed, and he finally understood that his second son, Lin Gong, might be doomed. Only when Lin Gong took the blame for His Highness the Crown Prince and died, can His Highness the Crown Prince and His Royal Highness the Eldest Princess escape unscathed ...It is naturally impossible for Emperor Qing to confer death on His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and His Royal Highness the Eldest Princess. This move is only for the purpose of killing chickens and monkeys, knocking mountains and shaking tigers, and continuing to sharpen His Highness the Crown Prince...and his child Lin Gong is just an insignificant piece on this chessboard. A pawn that can be discarded at any time...

Emperor Qing calmed down his anger, stepped forward to help Lin Ruofu up, and said in a warm voice: "Msg Lin, get up...I know...as a father, I hope that my child will live a safe life, but sometimes a child makes a big mistake, and there is nothing wrong with a father." The solution... Lin Xiang still has a son and a daughter under his knees, Wan'er grew up in the harem, and I regard her as my own, and I will definitely choose a good husband for her, and a good son-in-law for you, Xiang Lin!"

Lin Ruofu's eyes were red, and he said in a trembling voice, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your grace!"

……

Lin Ruofu finally left disheartened.

After he left, Chen Pingping asked Emperor Qing: "Your Majesty, the matter of Lin Gong has basically been settled. Then the Northern Qi spy Si Lili...how should I deal with it?"

Emperor Qing said: "Keep it. It just so happens that you and I want to borrow Xiao En to play a big game of chess? Let's bring that Si Lili along as a bargaining chip later. I heard that this woman is the same as the one from Beiqi The little emperor seems to have a good friendship."

Chen Pingping nodded, and said: "Then let's send troops to Northern Qi on the grounds that Si Lili, a spy of the Northern Qi Dynasty, colluded with the people in the court of Qing Dynasty, assassinated the son of an important minister, and caused cholera in the court of Qing Dynasty, shall we?"

Emperor Qing nodded, and said: "Fight well with them in Northern Qi, and if they take the initiative to come over to ask for peace, Fan Xian and Xiao En's big game of chess can begin..."

Chen Pingping smiled slightly and said: "May God bless us to celebrate the country, let Xiao En reveal the secret of the 'temple', let us find the legendary 'temple', with the resources in the 'temple' that look like a fairy world, Our Qing Kingdom will be invincible and create unprecedented brilliance..."
