Chapter 734: persuasion
On the ninth day of the ninth day, the news of the defeat of Tang Confucian soldiers in Pingning Prefecture came back to Jingling City. Lin Jinke was furious and rushed to the Beibin Palace. Seeing Lin Tingyan, he hurriedly asked: "Uncle Six, Kang Xiu was killed, what should I do?" That brother-in-law was also captured alive by King Ping Ning, what should we do now?"
"What are you panicking about?"
Seeing his frowning frowning, Lin Tingyan was secretly happy, but said calmly: "The matter has come to this, Jin Ke should hurry to the palace to discuss with the Queen Mother, and first detain Princess Pingning, mother and child, and the others. Prince Xie of Bai Yuguo has thrown Pingning Prefecture into chaos."
"At this time, I am worried that Your Majesty will blame the Tang family. Once the general is implicated, it will definitely affect the morale of our Qinghe army."
Lin Jinke said worriedly.
"You don't have to worry about that."
Lin Tingyan showed a sinister smile: "I have asked Feng Yue to send a report to the palace, saying that King Pingning was jealous of the virtuous and capable, deliberately killed Kang Xiu, the captain of the Sili school, and detained Tang Ru and Jinqian as hostages. Now he is worried about Pingning The safety of Princess Ning's mother and children will not be sent to **** the son-in-law and the princess back to the capital. Let's stick to our own opinions and muddy the water first. Even if His Majesty doesn't believe Feng Yue's words, he has to personally send someone to Pingning Prefecture to find out fact."
Before he finished speaking, a strange expression appeared on Lin Jinke's face: "Feng Yue actually belongs to the emperor's uncle?"
The queen mother has regarded this person as her confidant all these years.
The matter has come to this point, Lin Tingyan doesn't want to hide anymore, he has been dragged into the thief boat by himself anyway, and said bluntly: "Yes, he is an old man next to my concubine, and he has been loyal to me since the concubine passed away."
After finishing speaking, the conversation quickly changed: "Jin Ke is not the time for you to suspect these things, you have to take advantage of the time when His Majesty sent people to Pingning Prefecture to investigate the cause of Kang Xiu's death, and secretly mobilize the Tang family stationed in various places Come to Jingling City, if my guess is right, the General’s Mansion has no less than 30,000 troupes scattered around the suburbs of Beijing, guarding the fields of the Tang Family Manor just near Jingling City."
Lin Jinke didn't expect that he had such a thorough understanding of the Tang family's details. It was only at this moment that he realized that he had underestimated him before. He nodded in thought and said, "That's true. In addition, there were about 50,000 people mobilized into Beijing at the end of last year."
"Joining the 30,000 cavalry led by you, Jin Ke, are you confident in taking Jingling City?"
Lin Tingyan asked with a smile.
"Could it be that the emperor wants me to follow the example of the third emperor and force the emperor?"
Lin Jinke's eyes widened and he asked in surprise.
"At this point, is it possible that Jin Ke is still counting on His Majesty and ancestors to pass on to you?"
Lin Tingyan snorted coldly with disdain: "If you still have the benevolence of a woman at this time, and don't preemptively strike, and wait until Jinxiao returns to Beijing, I am afraid that your family will not be protected by the old ancestors."
"Uncle Huang filtered it."
Lin Jinke retorted disapprovingly: "This king and His Majesty are blood relatives after all. The Three Emperors forced the palace, and my ancestors just relegated his entire family to Yin County in the North. Now I have 300,000 cavalry. How dare you treat me poorly? Besides, with Ji Rongheng stationed in Langzhou, King Pingning will not be able to enter Beijing for a while. It is better to Chen Bing in the suburbs of Beijing to frighten the emperor brother. As long as he does not make King Pingning the heir, this king Still willing to continue to surrender to him.”
"You are so confused."
Lin Tingyan reprimanded angrily: "From the moment you led the troops into Beijing, you should have understood that your brotherhood and the friendship between monarch and minister have long existed in name only, not to mention that there is still a feud between you and the emperor who killed your mother. You want to take the emperor So that the princes don't even think about whether the ancestors and Princess Shu will agree or not, now the defense of the capital is in the hands of Jinshu alone."
Lin Jinke was stunned again: "Where did the emperor hear that I have a feud with the emperor's brother?"
"Jin Ke entered the palace and asked the Queen Mother about this, and everything will be clear."
Lin Tingyan would not tell the whole story about the old people in Weilan Palace all over the palace, but just reminded him tactfully.
Lin Jinke suddenly thought of Lin Jinsheng and Lin Jinshu's hatred for him since they were young, and when he thought of the expression hesitant to speak every time the old Qinghe Princess Givenchy and Yumu were mentioned, he seemed to understand something.
It seems that the rumors circulating in Qinghe Palace are mostly true.
It's no wonder that the ancestors didn't want to see me all the time, and it's no wonder that the queen mother decided to lead the troops to Beijing this time. It seems that she had planned for a long time.
Lin Tingyan saw that he was in hesitation, and tried to persuade him:
"The opportunity is too late to come back. It's time to make a decision. Ji Rongheng is always a member of the Ji clan. He is loyal to the late emperor and respects the late prince. If he finds out that Jin Xiao is the posthumous son of Prince Ting'an, he will take refuge in him sooner or later." The old ancestor is such a cunning person. At this juncture, she dared to accept the proposal of the general and Yang Situ, and let him go out of Beijing. I am afraid that this has already been expected. Has Jin Ke not discovered that this person is Nan Zhi? Did that girl make a move on purpose?"
"how do I say this?"
Lin Jinke was confused.
"If Ji Rongheng is not allowed to take over as the governor of Langzhou, then the 100,000 iron cavalry in Langzhou will fall into the hands of the general or Yang Situ's confidantes. Rather than letting an old enemy stand beside him, it is better to let this watery rice not enter The elm head leads the army."
At this point, Lin Tingyan shook his head helplessly.
If it wasn't for worrying that this important position would fall into the hands of Tang family members, and Yang Situ couldn't stand it, how could Ji Rongheng be allowed to take over Langzhou.
After hearing this, Lin Jinke also noticed the strangeness of the matter, and finally nodded in agreement: "Then listen to the emperor's uncle, and this king will immediately order all the Tang family's trilogy to gather in Beijing, and stay on guard after the Lantern Festival returns. King Pingning rebelled and forcibly entered Jingling City to **** him, and anyone who dares to stop him will be killed."
Paused, he was a little worried again: "It's just that the mother and son of Princess Pingning must be guarded more closely at the moment, and she must not be allowed to escape from Beijing."
"This matter is not difficult, even if the ancestor wanted to transfer her out of the capital, with Feng Yue's report, and before the truth is found out, my niece and daughter-in-law will not be able to leave Jingling City in a legitimate way. "
Lin Tingyan squeezed his slender chin, and smiled slowly, his eyes full of sly.
"The emperor is still smart."
Lin Jinke smiled triumphantly and said: "Even if she can leave Jingling City, the states and counties she passes along the way are all guarded by my Qinghe dignitaries, and I don't think she will be able to return to Luyan Port."
Afterwards, he left the Beibin Prince's Mansion contentedly, and began to plan for controlling Jingling City after the New Year's Eve.
Pingning Palace in Beijing
Princess Shu and Concubine Ji came to the mansion today to celebrate the New Year with Chang Lao, Nie Lao and Chu Nanzhi's family.
After dinner, the whole family sat around the stove and chatted, and then received the news from Pingning Prefecture sent back from the hidden post, knowing that Tang Ru and Kang Xiu were defeated, Chu Nanzhi asked Liu Yun to lead the little treasures First went back to the backyard to rest, each looked at each other in dismay, Chu Nanzhi couldn't help showing a knowing smile: "It seems that King Qinghe couldn't bear it after all."
Lin Jinshu's face couldn't be happier: "I'm afraid he will make some moves in the near future."
Ye just finished speaking, when Chen Chuan hurriedly led Hai Lianying in.
