51, long live my emperor(1/2)
Two officials of the court were killed in an instant, but they were still officials with a high position. The palace was panicked for a while, and the emperor was furious and ordered a thorough investigation of the matter.
Those who understand a little bit are thinking about this matter. They die as the prince. Who is the most beneficial to whom is the second prince, but the second prince's identity is deposed and even the imperial surname is deprived. What is the point of playing with this trick?
What's more, the killers who assassinated the two senior officials were all those who had been hiding in their house for several years. Even if Concubine Lian was alive, she could not even reach her hands.
The noise was too loud, and even Lin Xun, who was far away in Wuyou Villa, heard about it.
Of course, there are many middle-aged people who deliberately leaked the news to him, intending to show their sincerity in cooperation.
"Those two died at the hands of their own people," said the middle-aged man. "Now people in the court are checking the details of the people around them again. Even if they were trustworthy in the past, they are still careful now."
This investigation will inevitably have an impact on the secret chess he sent, but if he can convince the people in front of him to cooperate, it will be a good deal.
Lin Xun frowned and had to hand the cup in front of him. He did not drink water as he went, and asked, "What is the situation in the court now?"
The middle-aged man looked at him and pointed the key point, "Of course, the emperor may have suspicious of the people around him. Now the only ones that can reassure him are the national teacher Su Qin and Eunuch Li."
He said lightly: "Su Qin is both righteous and evil. He helped the emperor to quell the war. Eunuch Li has never participated in the disputes between the party and the emperor. He is also a person around the emperor. The emperor can use it with confidence."
"As far as I know, although Su Qin and Eunuch Li did not participate in the prince's dispute, when Concubine Lian was alive, both of them were favored Concubine Lian," the middle-aged man pointed at Lin Xun and said with some meaning: "The situation is very good to you now."
Lin Xun: "...So, Eunuch Li is deeply grateful to the emperor now?"
The middle-aged man didn't know why he mentioned this, but he just took it over, "I'm telling you now to let you cooperate with me without any worries."
Lin Xun felt that something seemed to be wrong with the communication link.
"Who do you think I'm going to take down?"
Middle-aged man raised his eyebrows, is he pretending to be confused and wants to take advantage of it in vain?
"I know you and I know it very well-"
"Prince."
"Eunuch Li."
At the same time, the two of them spoke in unison, but there was a completely different answer.
After the initial swaying, the middle-aged man's shoulders trembled: "What did you say?"
Lin Xun: "Eunuch Li."
He put down the cup and stood up and said, "Since my identity was deposed, I am in a very embarrassing situation. The Chen Kingdom can now compete for power and destiny. It is all because of his father's reliance on his father. Su Qin and the legendary invincible general, but the most obvious advantage of Chen Kingdom is not these powerful and powerful people."
"...The area outside the territory is scattered into tribes of all sizes. The battles have been fought all year round. The Emperor of Lian Kingdom has not many descendants, but there are also a few good ones. In addition, the Emperor of Lian Kingdom has not yet established a crown prince at this age, and there are gradually forming a multi-party dispute in the court. However, Chen Kingdom is different. My father only has two sons, I and the Prince. No matter how fierce we fight, we cannot form internal friction."
The middle-aged man looked calm: "What does this have to do with you wanting to defeat Eunuch Li?"
He read countless people, so he could naturally see that Lin Xun said that he wanted to overthrow Eunuch Li just now was not a joke, but was very serious.
Lin Xun smiled and was particularly open-minded: "What about a wise monarch in a generation? How can one be a powerful monarch? Everyone can kill him so happily!"
"Nine Thousand Years?" The middle-aged man's face froze, and he had some vague guesses in his heart, but he was not sure.
Lin Xun: "If I sit in the position of Eunuch Li, I will definitely be much more arrogant than him."
It is really interesting to be a jester and play the emperor with applause.
"Chen'an Banquet."
"Huh?" Lin Xun reacted for a moment, remembering that he was calling him.
"... Get out of here before I kill you."
In the garden, Lin Xun, who was forced to send out by an internal force, was unstable and staggered back a few steps, and someone simply supported him in time.
Lin Xun Yu Guangsai saw the faint blue at the end of his hair, and turned around. The owner of Wuyou Villa was raising an extra gentle smile at him.
He thought of the big tailed wolf in sheepskin for no reason.
"Why are you so careless?" The owner of Wuyou Villa seemed to know nothing and asked with concern.
It is a waste of time to play puzzles with such people or to play with their minds.
Lin Xun said directly: "Why don't the owner of the manor be honest and ask me why I'm so embarrassed?"
The owner of Wuyou Villa smiled and said, "I thought you would be very happy to hear the murders in the court."
Lin Xun: "Don't you think it's good for me, too?"
The owner of Wuyou Villa nodded with a smile.
Lin Xun frowned even deeper and said to him what he had just explained to the middle-aged man.
Now even the owner of Wuyou Villa couldn't laugh.
That night, Lin Xun stood outside Wuyou Villa, holding a big bag in his arms and a terrifying bone on his back, and he had not recovered yet.
This is...what happened?
In front of him, the owner of Wuyou Villa put away his usual warmth and said with a serious look: "The cultivation of Gu King's tomb is still counting on you. Before the King of Ten Thousand Snakes kills you, you should go back to the palace to avoid the limelight."
Lin Xun looked up and found that the middle-aged man who had been swimming on a snake was named King of Ten Thousand Snakes.
"When will I come back?"
The answer to him was the sound of the door shutting heavily with a "pop".
Lin Xun looked at the plaque of Wuyou Villa above his head for a while, turned around and was about to sway down the mountain alone with his bag.
A voice came from the village with a light flowing sound: "I will pick you up on the day when the Gu King's tomb appears."
Even a few good players in the mountains dare not walk on the night road. The bandits take advantage of the terrain and fight, even if they are good at it, they will inevitably suffer a secret loss.
Lin Xun's road was particularly stable at night. Not to mention bandits, he didn't even get close to him. Even though he was holding a bulging bag, he looked like a rich young man.
After all, the white bone behind him was particularly vulnerable in the dark, especially the bone was fed with the four-part Wanhua Gu, and the corpse emitted dense green light spots from the head to the shin.
For decades after that, there have been terrifying legends on this mountain. If you walk on the night road, you will see a beautiful boy carrying a skeleton on his back, you must stay away from him. This is a monster that can eat people!
The palace is as majestic and solemn as ever, but people look at people with more suspicion. However, in the royal family, anyone can have such suspicion, but it seems less important.
Chen Han felt that there were too many bad things he had encountered recently. He was killed by a key official in the court. The drought in the Lotus Kingdom had just passed and he began to be honest again. He heard that an insect master was plagued by the imperial city in the area outside the territory.
But all the bad things combined are not as troublesome as before.
With her slender fingers rubbing her eyebrows, Chen Han sighed, "Explain it."
Lin Xun: "I was kicked out and said I was going to save my life."
Chen Han's head hurt even more: "What's going on with the bones on your back?"
Lin Xun: "I am a man."
Of course, this sentence was condensed after brief description. The deceased was a man. Now he used this corpse to raise a gu, so it is difficult to explain it clearly, so it is simplified into three easy-to-understand words.
Chen Han deeply felt that sending this son to Wuyou Villa was a mistake. He originally said that his words and deeds were not in accordance with the rules, and it was completely out of order when he came back in less than ten days.
"Su Aiqing."
Su Qin saw that Chen Han was so angry that he couldn't speak. Seeing Lin Xun's eyes were a little complicated. A child of such a young age could not stand it even in Wuyou Villa... It was probably a skill.
Lin Xun was taken back to Su Qin's place, which he was familiar with. He lived here on the first day after he came out of the deserted palace, and returned to his original room with ease.
In the middle of the night, there was a crackling sound outside the window, and hail fell in the summer.
The next day, the streets and alleys, even inside and outside the palace, were talking about the wonders of last night.
"It's still June, and hail has started. Isn't there any injustice as it is said in the script?"
One person immediately responded: "Two high officials died in obediently!"
"Is there something hidden in this..."
Teahouses and taverns have become places for many boring people to gather and chat. Some palace ladies in the palace are talking about this matter carefully in groups of three or three.
After a strange hail last night, the weather turned cold.
Lin Xun went out with his cloak on his cloak and could feel the small water droplets condensed by water vapor in the air when he closed his eyes.
Before I knew it, I walked to Su Qin's courtyard.
He was wearing very thin clothes, rolled up his sleeves, and was carefully planting a strange plant.
Lin Xun stopped and suddenly overlapped him and a figure in his mind.
It was snowing day, and Ding Sheng took a small hoe to rush his poisonous substance. The expressions and postures of the two of them were inexplicably overlapping in this wet and cold weather.
Su Qin had already felt the sound of footsteps, and he only looked up after finishing his work, and happened to meet Lin Xun's somewhat dazed gaze.
"What's wrong?" This was the first time I saw this expression on the child's face.
Lin Xun came back to his senses and smiled bitterly: "I just suddenly remembered someone."
He walked to Su Qin's side. The plants he had just planted were very thin, and it seemed difficult to survive if he chose to plant them in such weather.
"This is orchid, and the cold weather species are better." Seeing that he didn't understand, Su Qin explained.
Lin Xun bowed and gently touched the stems of the orchid with white fingertips: "The person I know also likes to fiddle with these."
"Is it the one you said to send him to heaven?"
Lin Xun laughed softly, his voice low and strange: "Do you believe that people have past and present lives?"
