Chapter 703 Playing chess
"The old minister can see that His Highness likes the lady of the Chu family, who wouldn't like such an extremely intelligent woman."
Yang Runchen slowly raised his head, looked at him worriedly, and persuaded him earnestly: "As long as she can win the big position, she will be in His Highness's pocket sooner or later."
Although Lin Tingyan was annoyed by Yang Runchen's repeated actions, but for the sake of the emperor, he was finally moved by his words. He clenched his fists and said sharply, "How can this king bow down for a woman."
"It couldn't be better."
Yang Runchen showed joy: "The old minister has already thought of a good plan for His Royal Highness. The King of Nandu was framed by King Pingning and his wife. We are unwilling to lose power. We can continue to follow the example of King Changrong back then and let His Highness initiate a palace change. If he succeeds, His Highness Then take advantage of the situation to kill him and Qin Wang escorts and controls the palace to win the hearts of the world; if he fails, the crime of forcing the palace will not be borne by His Royal Highness, it is still a balanced solution with a certain amount of advance and retreat."
"how about you?"
Lin Tingyan heard that he arranged everything properly, except that he didn't mention himself, and finally couldn't bear to ask with concern: "Master Situ put so much effort into planning for this king, why didn't he prepare a way out for himself? "
"Everyone knows that the old minister is the confidant of His Highness the Third Highness. If he fails to change the palace this time, the old minister will follow him to die."
Yang Runchen looked at Lin Tingyan, and said with a faint smile: "If he can take down the emperor and the empress dowager, His Royal Highness will decide the life and death of the veteran, and His Highness can just win over King Pingning by killing the old minister."
"There is no more secure way?"
Master and servant, Lin Tingyan really couldn't bear him to bear all the infamy for himself.
"There is no other way."
Yang Runchen's eyes were half-closed, and he was already ready to die: "After my adopted son Xiao Dingfang committed suicide, the girl of the Chu family has not moved a bit since now. With her intelligence, it is impossible not to detect the strangeness. The mastermind of the case, she was able to find out my son-in-law Wu Enrong, and even Xing Huan, the prefect of Funing County, died inexplicably, which shows that she has long been aware of my role in this."
Looking deeply at Lin Tingyan, the smile on his face gradually disappeared, and he sighed bitterly: "This woman doesn't want to expose the old minister because she is concerned about her husband's secret identity."
"Nan Zhi is indeed full of calculations everywhere, and she is planning every step of the way. It's a pity that she can't be used by me."
Although Lin Tingyan felt sorry for the person who couldn't become a fellow with her, he would never tolerate this woman blocking his way forward.
Helping Yang Runchen up and sitting down again, Lin Tingyan said thoughtfully, "Jinxiao's life experience cannot be kept hidden from the world. My mother, queen and nephew probably knew about it long ago, otherwise how could they spare no effort to support him."
"Your Highness's guess on this point is correct, Feng Yue has already informed this matter to the old minister."
Yang Runchen's eyes once again showed a sly smile: "Please rest assured, Your Highness, the old minister has a way to deal with the shabby household, so that he cannot enter the capital. The old minister has sent a letter to Feng Yue. If His Highness succeeds, he will continue to stand still.
Once the old minister dies, he will reveal King Pingning's life experience to Tang Ru and Princess Qian. The couple will contact King Qinghe to try to get rid of King Pingning. At that time, His Highness can discuss with the Empress Dowager to fight In the name of revenge for the former prince's posthumous son, the emperor and the empress dowager will help you to be the emperor's uncle, and such a great event will come true. "
"When is Master Situ going to do it?"
Lin Tingyan knew that there was no way out, and his distracted emotions swelled up, and he couldn't wait to ask.
"The eve of the New Year's end festival."
Yang Runchen glanced at him fixedly, and elaborated: "General Pang Yuan, the guard in the palace, has been instructed by the old minister to lead three thousand guards into the palace on the eve of the last ceremony. Frequently, the three major battalions of the capital have to guard against the Qinghe garrison in the western suburbs with all their strength. It is when we take advantage of the vacancy that we can control the empress dowager, the emperor and the empress dowager in an instant.
And I heard that Princess Qinghe also brought her children to live in the palace recently. With them in my hands, King Qinghe would not dare to act rashly. "
"This is a good strategy."
Lin Tingyan was quite satisfied with his arrangement, and said happily: "If it were chosen on the day of the tail ceremony, it would be very difficult to accomplish anything, but the eve of the tail ceremony is really a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. It really is a good day to make a big deal happen."
"Success or failure depends on one stroke. Your Highness just needs to wait in the mansion that night, and don't go anywhere until you get a summons from the veteran."
Yang Runchen exhorted with some worry.
"Then the king is waiting for the good news of Master Situ at the mansion."
Yang Runchen has always been scheming, and Lin Tingyan is full of great expectations for his actions this time.
"The old minister resigns."
Yang Runchen hugged him heavily, as if saying goodbye, his eyes full of reluctance.
After walking a few steps, he turned around again, looked at him with warm eyes, and instructed again: "Your Highness must remember the old minister's words, and think twice and twice whenever you act, and don't attack easily. You must keep a low profile and be good at it." Use the power of others to check and balance each other."
"This king has written it down."
Watching him off, Lin Tingyan recalled what he said when he entered the mansion, if he failed to force the palace this time, this **** would have to be discarded.
The only person I can rely on in the future is myself.
For a while, he also became extremely uneasy.
Since the time of the first prince, Lord Situ has been secretly helping him. Without him, it would be like a broken arm.
It was only then that he realized belatedly that it was his kindness at the beginning that did not join hands with Ji Wanying to get rid of Chu Nanzhi, and ended up killing Lord Situ.
It's really a mistake that will cause eternal hatred.
Having captured an assassin alive, Chu Nanzhi did not plan to interrogate him personally, but instead sent someone to the prison of Tingwei Mansion for Fang Qingyue to interrogate.
Judging from the clues she has now, Du Jiuzhen and today's group of assassins are undoubtedly the actions of the people behind it, which made her more determined that the group of assassins is about to attack.
Back in the mansion, she didn't reveal anything about the assassination on the way to Liu Yun and Xiaobao, even the second elder was unwilling to say a word with them, lest they worry about it.
After dinner, Chu Nanzhi and Princess Shu returned to the inner hall and closed the door before they dared to continue talking about the market.
Lin Jinshu was completely convinced of all her previous suspicions at this moment, and fidgeted and said with emotion: "Nan Zhi, you are indeed suitable to be born in the royal family. Now that these people dare to assassinate openly, it can be seen that they have been cornered. It's been a few days."
Chu Nanzhi smiled bitterly.
If she had a choice, she would naturally prefer to live a more peaceful life, even if Lin Jinxiao was just a county magistrate, it would be so relaxing to accompany him to do some business in Luyan Port, and occasionally help him investigate cases.
It was also the times that forced her to become such a ruthless woman.
"Starting tomorrow, Princess Shu will return to the palace."
Chu Nanzhi forcefully demanded: "According to the previous agreement, I will handle the affairs outside the palace, and the palace will have to rely on you and Commander Ji."
"No."
Lin Jinshu shook his head resolutely: "It is precisely because of this juncture that I have to stay with you every day as usual, so that I can numb the sight of those people."
After a pause, she looked at Chu Nanzhi with a smile, patted her palms heavily, and said earnestly: "You should trust me, and you should also trust the ability of the son-in-law, just like we trust you unconditionally, even if I stay by your side, the palace The situation in the middle cannot be messed up, this time I will definitely avenge my father and the late prince."
Her words reminded Chu Nanzhi that if she was allowed to go back to the palace at this time, the enemy would definitely be alerted, then she nodded and said, "It's up to you, I believe you can protect the ancestor and His Majesty well."
"Well, let's rest earlier."
Lin Jinshu relievedly dragged her to the bedside, turned off the lights, and each rested.
