"It's a pity that His Majesty still refuses to issue an order."
At the fourth prince's house.
Dong Changtian said with some disappointment.
Zhu Zhen looked calm and said with a smile: "It's normal not to issue an order. Father trusts Lin Qingfeng so much. Moreover, Lin Qingfeng is on the frontline battlefield. If he issues an order at this time, it will shake the morale of the army. The major chieftains in the southwest will be afraid. There will be emotions too.”
Dong Changtian nodded.
A great victory in the frontline connection is a time when morale is at its peak. This is indeed not a good time.
"If that's the case, then why expose it at this time?"
There was confusion in his eyes.
Zhu Zhen took a look and said with a smile: "Lin Qingfeng has military power and has won two games in a row. It is the time when he is at his strongest. At this time, his identity is exposed. Do you think he will take the opportunity to rebel?"
Dong Changtian's pupils lit up and he understood instantly.
This is to force the other party to rebel and completely drive them to a dead end.
"But what if he doesn't rebel? Your Majesty has great trust in him, maybe..."
He shook his head as he spoke, as if he thought it was impossible. No matter how much he trusted, as long as the identity of the former prince was confirmed, everything would be meaningless.
It seems that rebellion is the only option.
Zhu Zhen smiled knowingly and said, "Just wait and see! He will rebel. Even if he doesn't, there are still people who will."
"Perhaps, my father will issue an edict soon."
He curled his lips and looked toward the southwest with a playful expression.
In the imperial study room.
Zhu Tianzheng's face was ashen. In front of him, the eldest princess Zhu Ziyun was standing aside. She paused and said, "Back to my father, it is basically confirmed that Lin Qingfeng is indeed related to the previous dynasty."
"You are presumptuous!"
Zhu Tianzheng was furious, "Why didn't we find out before? If it weren't for the fourth child this time, Xiaoqi would have married him. If his identity is revealed at that time, how will my face be saved?"
"My son, I know my guilt!"
Zhu Ziyun quickly apologized, "It was Erchen's mistake. He had checked Liuzhuang before, and it was full of ordinary villagers. The Red Lotus Sect deliberately confuses the public and arranged half of the real villagers to be among them. It was Erchen who did something wrong."
Zhu Tianzheng snorted coldly, "Go back and reflect on yourself. The fourth child will take over the Flying Dragon Guard for the time being."
"yes!"
Zhu Ziyun retreated after hearing this.
On the side, Commander Jin Yan raised an imperceptible look on his lips.
However, he did not see that the moment Zhu Ziyun turned around, there was also a sneer on the corner of his mouth.
Zhu Tianzheng's face was gloomy, extremely sad, and he asked: "How is the situation on the front line?"
Eunuch Cao bowed and said, "Your Majesty, there is no news yet. I estimate that the Tianlang Pass will be captured soon."
Zhu Tianzheng frowned deeply, obviously hesitant.
He would never tolerate the former prince.
This is something that no emperor can tolerate, but...
"Your Majesty, urgent report from the southwest!"
At this moment, a young eunuch came quickly.
Zhu Tianzheng signaled, and Eunuch Cao quickly took the urgent report. When he saw it, his face instantly turned pale.
"what happened?"
Eunuch Cao hesitated and hesitated, but finally said: "The governor of the southwest reported urgently that... Lin Qingfeng's second wife and third wife led the Red Lotus Sect to revolt in the southwest and have captured three county towns."
"What did you say?"
Zhu Tianzheng stood up from the dragon rider for a moment.
Then he grabbed the emergency report and his face turned livid, "Okay! Lin Qingfeng knows that his identity has been exposed, is he going to strike first to gain advantage?"
Eunuch Cao also looked dazed, but he quickly reacted, "Your Majesty, is there any misunderstanding here?"
"Misunderstand?"
Zhu Tianzheng was furious, "Tell me, is there any misunderstanding here?"
"The evidence is conclusive. Lin Qingfeng is a remnant of the Jing Dynasty. His two wives have rebelled. You still told me about the misunderstanding? You old man, what are the benefits of accepting Lin Qingfeng?"
Eunuch Cao hurriedly knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, please calm down. I made a mistake. I deserve death..."
At this time, another flying dragon guard came quickly.
Commander Jin Yan quickly asked: "Did something happen to the Lin family?"
The visitor replied: "Yes! There is something strange happening in the Lin family."
Commander Jin Yan's face changed, "Your Majesty, after discovering that the Lin family has hidden a large number of Red Lotus Cults, people have been monitoring them in their humble positions. Now that Lin Qingfeng is causing trouble in the southwest, the Lin family is afraid of running away."
Zhu Tianzheng was furious, "Immediately seal up the Lin family and uproot the Red Lotus Sect."
"Here!"
Commander Jin Yan immediately took the order and left.
On the bustling street, groups of brightly-armored soldiers quickly headed towards the Lin family with murderous intent. All the Lin family's shops along the street were also sealed.
All the pedestrians on the road stopped.
"What's going on? Mr. Lin's shop dares to be closed down?"
"yes!"
"Hush! You don't know it yet! There is news that Qingfeng Shixian is the prince of the former dynasty."
"Isn't this a rumor that has been heard for a long time? Why now..."
"It's different. It's said that it's already settled."
"..."
Lin.
Caiyun's pretty face turned pale. She had just heard the news on the street, and now she ran back quickly, "Miss, eldest lady, it's not good..."
The little girl still looked like she was fine and asked, "What's wrong?"
"The fourth...the fourth prince brought people here, saying that he wanted to seal up the Lin family, and also said that my uncle was the prince of the previous dynasty..."
"What? The former prince?"
The little girl was careless and seemed to find it strange, her eyes lit up.
Maybe I didn’t expect my brother-in-law to have such a big background.
When Su Mingyue heard the news, she had already walked out, her face was ashen, and Yan Ruxue was also there, her pretty face turned pale.
"I didn't expect them to come so quickly, eldest sister, what should I do?"
Su Mingyue looked determined and said: "When it comes, it comes. It's a blessing, not a curse. It's a curse that cannot be avoided."
"Ruxue, you can leave on your own in a while."
"Sister..."
Yan Ruxue was anxious and wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Su Mingyue, "If you want to help us, just remember my words. Besides, there is no news about my husband yet, so they don't dare to do anything to us."
"It's better for you to pay attention to your husband when you're outside."
Yan Ruxue gritted her teeth and said, "Okay!"
Su Mingyue made up her mind, "Now, let's go out and have a look together!"
With that said, she strode towards the door.
Yan Ruxue and the little girl also quickly followed.
In the backyard, Huamei quickly came to the old lady and said, "Princess, the fourth prince has brought people here and sealed off the Lin Mansion. Bad news has also come from the southwest."
"The pavilion master asked the princess how to make a decision."
The old lady looked towards the southwest with her turbid eyes, and said after a while: "I believe Xiao Bai will make his own decision. Let's wait and see! It's not the time yet."
"But……"
Huamei was a little anxious and couldn't wait to raise her eyebrows.
"Go!"
But the old lady waved her hand, "Just tell your pavilion master what I said. My old lady is going to see my big fat boy. No one can hurt my big fat boy."
