Chapter 194 Go See the Little Man He Is Interested In
Chapter 194 Let’s go see what this little man he’s interested in wants to do.
After seeing Lin Xiuming, Lu Chen said with a smile: "If General Lin doesn't hurry back to the capital with the soldiers of the imperial court, what are you doing to meet this king in private? Doesn't General Lin know that this king has offended many people now?"
"If people know that General Lin has had contact with me, I am afraid that General Lin will not have an easy life after returning to the capital.
Hearing what Lu Chen said, Lin Xiuming said quickly: "The prince is joking. As long as the prince doesn't tell anyone, no one will know that the official has met the prince."
Lu Chen said directly: "I won't beat around the bush. Tell me, what does General Lin want from me?"
Lin Xiuming said: "The reason why I want to meet the prince is mainly because of my father's wish."
"My father wants to know what the prince's future plans are."
Hearing this, Lu Chen smiled slightly, and then said: "Xiang Lin really doesn't regard me as an outsider, and he actually asked you to ask me what my plans are in the future?"
"Does Prime Minister Lin and the Lin family still plan to support me in participating in the heir apparent?"
Lin Xiuming didn't hide it. The restaurant had been cleared today and there were no outsiders. He could say it with confidence.
"Your Majesty, my father does intend to support you in participating in the heir apparent. My father believes that your Majesty is good at forbearing and will definitely do great things in the future."
Lu Chen said at this time: "I have a question to ask General Lin."
Lin Xiuming said respectfully: "Your Majesty, please speak."
Lu Chen asked: "Did Prime Minister Lin ask you to talk to me about this before you left for the Northern Kingdom, or did he send you a letter later asking you to meet the king in private when you left the Northern Kingdom?"
There is a big difference between the two.
If Lin Gaoyuan asked Lin Xiuming to meet with him in private before Lin Xiuming set off, and then said these words, it would only prove that Lin Gaoyuan only had the idea of supporting the Bei Palace, but it did not mean how determined he was.
But if Lin Gaoyuan later sent a letter asking Lin Xiuming to come to the King of Bei in private to express that the Lin family was willing to support him when he left Beiguo, it would prove that Lin Gaoyuan really planned to bet on him.
After all, he had offended all the aristocratic families in Daxia, and even offended the scholar-bureaucrat class. If Lin Gaoyuan is still willing to support him under such circumstances, it proves that Lin Gaoyuan definitely values himself very much.
Upon hearing Lu Chen's question, Lin Xiuming instantly understood what he meant. So Lin Xiuming immediately replied: "Your Majesty, I only received the letter from my father after the reform in the Northern Kingdom. He insists on being on your side. No matter how difficult you are now, he will still support you." "
Lu Chen smiled and said, "Oh? Does Mr. Lin really believe that this king will ascend to that position in the future?"
Lin Xiuming said: "My father has always been very accurate in his judgment of people. He believes that Your Majesty, you are like a dragon hiding in the abyss, and one day you will soar into the sky."
Hearing Lin Xiuming's words, Lu Chen smiled. Lin Gaoyuan, the prime minister, has always had no position in the court, and he has never stood up to support any prince. He did not expect that he would actually support him. He is really discerning.
Lin Xiuming said tentatively at this time: "Your Majesty, my father also asked me to bring you a message. He heard that Xiaguan's adopted sister was working as an errand in the North Prince's Mansion. He didn't know what the prince thought of Xiaguan's adopted sister. If the prince likes it, If so, the Lin family is willing to marry the Beiwang Mansion and marry Xiaguan’s sworn sister to you. "
Hearing this, Lu Chen was stunned for a moment, and then Lu Chen asked: "Sister? Are you talking about Lin Wanyun?"
Lin Xiuming said: "Yes."
Lu Chen said with a smile: "As far as I know, Lin Wanyun is now a member of Xuanyue Palace. It seems that she has nothing to do with your Lin family anymore, right?"
Lin Xiuming said: "The prince is joking. She has worshiped my father as her adoptive father since she was a child under the witness of the prince's mother, and she still grew up in the Lin family. Even if she has left the Lin family now, she is still a member of the Lin family."
Lu Chen continued: "But she seems to be in her thirties this year. General Lin, don't you think there is a big age difference between your sworn sister and this king?"
Lin Xiuming said neither humble nor arrogantly: "Your Majesty, age is not a problem, as long as the Prince likes me."
Lu Chen thought to himself that it seemed that Lin Gaoyuan really planned to support him and actually wanted to marry Lin Wanyun to him.
In this way, Lin Wanyun will be his woman sooner or later.
In fact, without the support of the Lin family, Lin Wanyun would one day become her own woman. However, with the support of her natal family, Lin Wanyun would be more legitimate in marrying her.
Lu Chen said at this time: "General Lin, go back and tell Prime Minister Lin that I am very grateful to him for standing up to support me at this time, but I will not participate in the battle for the right to inherit the throne. That position is too small, and it is not allowed to be used." No less than me.”
Lin Xiuming was stunned when he heard Lu Chen's words.
King Bei, what does this mean?
Is that location too small? Is he saying that the position of prince is too small? Is it possible that King Bei wants to skip the crown prince position and become emperor directly?
In other words, he wants to rebel directly?
Thinking of this, Lin Xiuming couldn't help but a few beads of sweat broke out on his forehead.
Is this something he can hear?
He knows what Bei Wang is thinking, and he will not be silenced by Bei Wang in the future.
Lu Chen continued: "General Lin, if you have nothing else to do, I will go back first. You will easily be discovered if you leave the military camp for too long."
Lin Xiuming saluted and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your concern."
Lu Chen turned and left immediately. When he reached the door, he suddenly thought of something and turned to Lin Xiuming and said, "By the way, General Lin, please tell Prime Minister Lin when you go back that I like Wanyun very much. When the North Kingdom is stable, I will marry her."
Lin Xiuming was slightly stunned. The North King said that he wanted to marry Lin Wanyun, which proved that he had accepted their Lin family's surrender.
"Okay, my lord, I will tell my father when I go back."
Lu Chen said nothing more, then he turned his head again and left the room.
Lin Xiuming said behind him, "Farewell, my lord!"
After Lu Chen left the room, Lin Xiuming also returned to the barracks. After staying in Yancheng for one night, he led the court's 20,000 troops back to the capital the next day.
...
Dawu Dynasty, Qingyun Hall.
Wu Yunwan, wearing a red dress, stood in the hall. The hem of her skirt was split. The breeze blew, revealing her long white legs. She looked graceful and elegant.
Wu Yunwan was holding a piece of intelligence in her hand at this time, and her expression kept changing. It was unknown what she was thinking.
At this time, she murmured: "All under heaven is the king's land, and all the people are the king's subjects..."
"This little man is so bold, isn't he afraid of death at all?"
Obviously, the intelligence in Wu Yunwan's hand at this time recorded what happened in Beijun, especially the content of Beijun's reform.
Wu Yunwan couldn't believe that a mere vassal king could say such a challenge to the aristocratic family and the scholar-official class.
At this time, the female guard next to Wu Yunwan asked: "Princess, do we still need to send people to the Northern Kingdom?"
Wu Yunwan turned her head and looked at the female guard next to her and asked: "Why not?"
The female guard replied: "The Northern King's actions have obviously angered the Daxia family and the scholar-official class. Now the war between Dawu and Daxia is about to end. Once the war is over, I am afraid that those families will find a way to kill the Northern King."
Hearing the guard's words, Wu Yunwan smiled slightly, and then said: "I didn't expect that even you guessed that the war is about to end."
Now Dawu and Daxia have gathered their armies to Xiwu County, looking like they are going to go to war. Now the common people think that the two dynasties are going to fight to the death.
But the top leaders of the two dynasties understand that the war in Xiwu County is already the last war. After Dawu occupies Xiwu County, this war will end.
After hearing what Wu Yunwan said, the guard immediately half-knelt down and said: "I shouldn't have discussed state affairs, please punish me, Princess."
Wu Yunwan said calmly: "It's okay, these are all trivial matters, and you are right, the war is indeed about to end. In the past few days, the carriages of the Great Xia Chu family have entered the imperial city one after another, and they are obviously preparing for the end of the war."
"Get up."
The guard immediately stood up and said: "Thank you, Princess, for forgiving me."
Wu Yunwan continued: "We still need to send more spies to the North Country. The King of the North is not that simple."
"Since the King of the North dares to propose legislation to stipulate land at this time Ownership proves that he is ready. "
"I don't believe he will be assassinated so easily. If he dies so easily, then everything he did is just a joke. "
Speaking of this, Wu Yunwan looked up at the sky outside the hall. She continued with a smile: "I am more and more interested in this little man. "
A mere vassal king dared to challenge all the noble families and scholar-officials in his dynasty. This is not something that ordinary people can do. Wu Yunwan was very curious about who gave the North King the courage. Was it the mysterious super power behind the North King?
Isn't that super power afraid that the North King's chess piece will be solved by others?
Or did that super power deliberately let the North King do this in order to stimulate the noble families and scholar-officials in the Great Xia Dynasty, so as to achieve a certain purpose?
Just when Wu Yunwan was thinking this, a maid ran into Qingyun Hall in a hurry.
"Greetings, Princess!"
Seeing the maid so flustered, Wu Yunwan asked curiously: "Xiao Die, what happened?"
The maid hurriedly said: "Princess, good news, Lord Chai has been reinstated, and His Majesty has asked him to go on a diplomatic mission to Daxia."
Chai Jiliang and Wu Yunwan seem to have a good relationship on weekdays, and the maids in Qingyun Palace can see that Chai Jiliang has a good impression of the princess, so he has never married.
Hearing the maid's words, Wu Yunwan smiled slightly, and then said: "It seems that the war is indeed about to end, but I don't know where the heavy cavalry in the North Kingdom have gone. There is no news yet."
Wu Yunwan has been paying attention to the movements of the North Kingdom, especially the heavy cavalry in the North Kingdom. She has sent many spies to inquire about the situation of the heavy cavalry, but until now, the heavy cavalry has not appeared in the North Kingdom again, which makes Wu Yunwan a little worried that the heavy cavalry will suddenly appear on the battlefield and catch the Dawu army off guard.
However, the war was almost over, and the heavy cavalry did not appear on the battlefields of the two dynasties, which meant that the army was most likely not heading to the front lines of the battlefields of the two dynasties.
As for where they went, it was unknown.
At this time, another maid entered the hall, "Meet the Princess."
Before Wu Yunwan asked what was going on, the maid took the initiative to say, "Princess, Emperor Yue sent a letter to invite you to visit the Dayue Dynasty!"
Hearing this, Wu Yunwan smiled slightly. She hadn't seen her good sister for a long time. Dayue happened to be close to the North Country. If conditions permit, she would go to the North Country when she went to Dayue to see what the little man she was interested in wanted to do.
…
A month passed in a flash, and the war between Dawu and Daxia was coming to an end.
The two sides fought in Xiwu County for a month, and each lost more than 100,000 soldiers.
In the battle of Xiwu County, the eighth prince Lu Shuyun performed very well. He led a cavalry of 5,000 people to cut off the retreat of Dawu's army of more than 100,000 people. With the cooperation of the Daxia army, the eighth prince led the soldiers to defeat Dawu's full attack.
Moreover, the Eighth Prince brought tens of thousands of soldiers to drive all the Dawu soldiers who entered Xiwu County out of Xiwu County. The battle in Xiwu County completely crushed Dawu's ambition, making Dawu Dynasty dare not attack easily. In the end, it had to agree to Daxia's proposal and sent Dawu Dynasty's Prime Minister Chai Jiliang to Daxia in person...
Of course, the above words were made up by Daxia people themselves. The top leaders of both sides knew very well what the situation was.
It seems that Daxia repelled Dawu's attack, but in essence, it was just because the top leaders of the two dynasties reached some conditions, which made Dawu withdraw from Xiwu County. It was the Chu family that prompted the two dynasties to reach peace talks. The Chu family played a very important role in this war.
Daxia Dynasty, Beijing.
On his way home, Lin Xiuming often heard people discussing the establishment of a prince.
He had learned about what happened in Xiwu County recently. He felt a little dreamy and couldn't help thinking, are all the sons of Emperor Xia so powerful?
The princes who had never fought in a war were so brave on the battlefield?
The King of the North is like this, and the King of Qi is also like this?
After Lin Xiuming returned to the Lin Mansion, the servants of the Lin Mansion immediately ran to call Lin Gaoyuan, "Master, the eldest young master is back!"
After hearing the voice of the servant, Lin Gaoyuan came out of the room.
Seeing Lin Xiuming's lifeless look, Lin Gaoyuan asked: "Xiuming, how are you doing with the things I asked you to do?"
Lin Xiuming came back to his senses and said: "Dad, let's go back to the room and talk."
Then the father and son entered a private room and asked the servants around them to stay ten meters away from the room.
After entering the room, Lin Xiuming said: "Dad, the King of the North said that he will marry Sister Yun after the North Country is stable."
Hearing this, Lin Gaoyuan's face suddenly showed a smile.
"It seems that the King of the North has accepted us."
Lin Xiuming said at this time: "Dad, when I came back, I heard people on the street discussing the issue of establishing a crown prince. Could it be that the Eighth Prince will really be established as the crown prince?"
"Then if we turn to the King of the North at this time, wouldn't it be a dead end?"
Lin Gaoyuan snorted coldly and said: "How did he get his military merits? The officials of the court are all clear. They are just fooling the common people at the bottom. Even if His Majesty establishes the Eighth Prince as the crown prince, his position as the crown prince will not be stable."
Lin Xiuming said: "By the way, Dad , I heard from the King of the North that he doesn't seem to plan to participate in the fight for the throne. What he wants to do seems to be to directly ascend to that position, which is not a good thing for our Lin family. "
Hearing Lin Xiuming's words, Lin Gaoyuan said lightly: "Your Majesty doesn't like the King of the North in the first place, and the King of the North has no power in the court, so it is impossible for him to become the crown prince."
"So for the King of the North, the only way left is to raise an army."
Hearing his father's words, Lin Xiuming was stunned. After all this time, his father actually knew that the King of the North wanted to rebel.
Lin Xiuming said quickly: "Dad, isn't it too risky for us to surrender to the Northern King?"
Lin Gaoyuan stroked his beard and said: "Is it too big? I don't think so. Whether the Northern King succeeds or not, it will only benefit us and not harm us."
"If the Northern King succeeds, I will still be an important minister around the emperor. If the Northern King fails, I will still be an important minister around the emperor."
"And from my understanding of Your Majesty, Daxia may not be stable for long, otherwise I would not let you meet with the Northern King in private after the Northern King made such a big fuss."
"The truce between the two dynasties seems to be a compromise of Your Majesty, but the behavior of the aristocratic family in provoking war has completely touched Your Majesty's bottom line."
Speaking of this, Lin Gaoyuan couldn't help but sigh.
"Dha Xia will lose at least three counties in the peace talks between Da Wu and Da Xia. The land of Chen State was basically given away. As an emperor who has been thinking about expanding territory since he was a child, I don't believe that Your Majesty can still bear it."
"No matter how good an emperor is at forbearance, there will be times when he gets angry and irrational."
"Da Xia is going to be in chaos!"
