"Ah? Is there such a thing?" Lin Dongyang was shocked when he heard this.
"Well, Prince Li Feng became seriously ill because of this. I went to pay him a visit today, but he didn't see me either," Xiao Chen said.
"Haha, he brought this on himself!" Lin Dongyang said, "I just said that the emperor will not allow him to station 50,000 troops in the capital. This is not in line with the rules at all!"
"By the way, Minzhou Governor Wang Ruhai also had his house confiscated and questioned a few days ago." Xiao Chen said.
"Wang Ruhai... Brother Xiao, you are right. This thing is really weird. What is the emperor going to do?" Lin Dongyang had already asked several questions at this time.
To sum it up, what on earth is the emperor going to do?
But he didn't ask Xiao Chen, because Xiao Chen wouldn't know.
"Brother Xiao, do you think the emperor wants to create another prince?" Lin Dongyang said this was not a question, but a guess.
But it coincided with what Xiao Chen guessed.
"Even if the rumors are true, it's a bit too scary for the Emperor to have a son appear out of thin air, isn't it?" Xiao Chen said.
"The emperor always does whatever he wants, likes to surprise people, and dares to be the first for the world!" Lin Dongyang said, "This is the emperor's own family. Whoever he wants to pass it on to, that's who! Besides, the emperor is in his prime. , but he is only fifty years old, and there is still time to train another prince."
"Before, there was Crown Prince Li Xian, and there were constraints from the Queen Mother and those relatives. Now these obstacles are gone, and the Emperor no longer has any scruples." Lin Dongyang said, "And why has he never reestablished the Crown Prince? Just because These two are not his favorite choices, there is someone else in his heart."
Thinking about it now, it seems that Li Wanjiang started planning this matter long ago.
For example, Li Wanyun asked to be transferred to Jiangnan, and he readily agreed. When Li Wanyun arrived in Jiangnan, he transferred more than 80,000 of Li Wanyun's 100,000 troops, and also transferred several Black Dragon Guards from Langya County and Wolong Pass to replace the defense. .
Before Li Wanyun could establish a foothold in Jiangnan, he sent Li Wanyun back to Jiuxi on the grounds that the situation in southern Xinjiang was tense. After this, Li Wanyun's 100,000 elite soldiers were left behind.
There is also the big case of Minzhou collaborating with the enemy Tianxuan Hui last time. It was not a big deal at first, but it turned into a big scene of "four kings seizing the legitimate sons". Even Yandang King Li Yan was involved!
Although Xiao Chen later personally tried the case and cleared Li Yan, after that incident, Li Yan was seriously injured. After returning, he claimed that he was ill and surrendered all his military power. At a young age, he had already saved a pension fund. Thoughts of disaster.
Now that I think about it, he is really a smart person...
Li Wanyun is also a smart man, but unfortunately his identity is too important. Even if he wants to be discharged and return to his hometown, it is not easy.
But fortunately, since he didn't like women, theoretically he wouldn't have any heirs, so the emperor was relatively tolerant of him.
But these are all bad things. After all, Nanfeng doesn't like women, but he also has an heir. So who knows that Li Wanyun won't have an heir?
Although Li Wanyun is still King Zhongcheng, he still controls a hundred thousand troops and dominates Jiuxi.
But in fact, he no longer has military power, because as we all know, the generals of the Black Dragon Guard only listen to the emperor Li Wanjiang...
So the emperor started planning this matter a long, long time ago.
He first released his younger brother and nephew from their military power, and now he started to cut off the wings of Li Shi and Li Feng. Everything he did was to overcome obstacles for the prince in his heart...
Xiao Chen just thought to himself, not sure, but although Lin Dongyang was in prison, his knowledge was still there. Since he said so, I'm afraid there is a 30-50 chance of this happening.
"Brother Dongyang, just live here in a down-to-earth manner. I originally wanted to get you out, but I feel like it's not the right time now, and I'm afraid it might be self-defeating.
I will instruct them to take care of your daily life. Now I still have some strength to speak. If you need anything, just tell Lin Zhengwu and he will do it for you. "
"As for the old lady and the young lady, you can rest assured. I have made all arrangements. I will go on another expedition soon, and I want to take Lin Qi with me. I see that he is not old and has a fatherly demeanor. If he goes there, he will definitely make some achievements. When the time comes, he will beg the superiors, and I can probably get you off the hook, or at least get out."
"If you want to wait until you come out, you can just go to my Yanyun County... It won't be too late for us to discuss this later."
Lin Dongyang just nodded silently without saying a word of gratitude, because he didn't say thank you for the kindness, and besides, he had already reached this point, and it was useless to say anything.
Xiao Chen called Lin Qi and asked him to talk to his father alone, but he Shi Shiran walked out.
"Master Xiao, do you have any other instructions?" Lin Zhengwu, who was sitting and chatting with Xiao Yu, immediately stood up when he saw him coming.
"It's nothing. Let Lin Qi say a few words to his father and then leave." Xiao Chen said, "Master Dongyang is my best friend. I don't care what happened before. In the future, you kid will..."
"Master Xiao, Brother Xiao has already given instructions just now. From now on, the young man will treat Master Dongyang as his godfather!" General Lin Zhengwu's chest clapped loudly.
"Eh? This kid has a future." Xiao Chen said with a smile.
"Mr. Xiao, don't say this. The reason why I do my best for you is not because I want to cling to you. The main reason is that I can't reach you... I just admire your loyalty, Mr. Xiao. In fact, I'm not the only one. Among our Jinyiwei brothers, who doesn't respect you, Mr. Xiao?" Lin Zhengwu can speak again.
"You said such nice things to me, I really have to reward you!" Xiao Chen was also happy after hearing this, and he took out a banknote and handed it to him, "Take it to buy a drink."
"Thank you, Sir, for the reward! Hehe, in fact, Brother Xiao has already rewarded you just now, but how can a reward be too much? The more, the merrier!" Lin Zhengwu glanced at it and saw that it was a thousand taels of silver notes. He immediately smiled and accepted it happily. .
"Master Dongyang is a scholar. You can go back and ask him for a book list. Buy him all the books you want to buy. In addition, prepare more pens, inks, paper and inkstones. Also, it is about to enter winter. The charcoal basin in his house is not allowed. What's missing is his cotton-padded clothes and so on..." Xiao Chen was really interesting, and his instructions were so meticulous.
Lin Zhengwu agreed one by one. Xiao Yu just said that he would send him a sum of money every month, which can be regarded as Lin Dongyang's daily expenses. Just use whatever he needs to buy. If it is not enough, just tell the person who comes.
After all, this is the Jinyiweizhao Prison, and there are regulations on what goes in and out. It would be troublesome for his own brothers to pass through, so Xiao Yu simply entrusted everything to Lin Zhengwu.
In fact, Chen Ming is Lin Zhengwu's immediate boss, but Xiao Yu just chatted with him for a long time, but he didn't even mention Chen Ming...
