Li Moyan looked at Lin Hui, "Could it be that His Highness the Seventh Highness already knew that Da Chu was in such danger?"
"That's not necessarily true!" Li Zhi said, "But maybe Zen Master Yihui knows!"
"Yes!" Li Moyan slapped the table and stood up, "How could I forget! Zen Master Yihui often appears next to His Majesty the Seventh Prince?"
Li Moyan walked around excitedly on the ground.
"If Zen Master Yihui had already known about Da Chu's catastrophe today, then it would make sense for His Highness the Seventh Prince to keep a low profile!"
Li Moyan figured it out, moved the stool towards Lin Hui, and asked, "What did His Highness Seventh Prince say? Tell me quickly!"
Lin Hui felt really unhappy when he thought about being punched by Li Moyan just now, but this was not the time to argue.
He quickly said, "His Seventh Highness has said that he wants me to unite with the ministers of the court who are loyal to Da Chu, pretend to submit to Huodu, and leave capable ministers for Da Chu to govern the country."
"That's all?" After finally having hope, Li Mo still didn't finish his words and looked at Lin Hui, "No more?"
"No more!" Lin Hui said seriously, "What we can do now is to lie dormant and wait for His Majesty the Seventh Prince to come back!"
"Didn't His Highness the Seventh Prince tell us to wait for an opportunity in Kyoto to attack Huo Dou?" Li Moyan asked.
Lin Hui glanced at Li Moyan and said, "Junior brother, you are not allowed to have any other ideas."
"I saw it with my own eyes when I entered the palace today. Huo Dou is heavily protected in the palace. It's not like one or two of us can rush in and kill Huo Dou."
"What we are facing now is not Huo Du alone, but hundreds of thousands of rebels!"
Lin Hui wiped the sweat from his forehead.
Fortunately, he came to his junior brother's house as soon as possible. Otherwise, if junior brother and his son rushed into the palace, not to mention not being able to kill Huo Dou, I am afraid that even Huo Dou's people would not be able to see him, and he would have to be killed by Huo Dou's men. Hacked to death with random knives.
Li Moyan nodded, "I understand this, but I'm just unwilling to accept Huo Dou, a traitor from a foreign country! The emperor treated him so badly that he actually killed the emperor and robbed Da Chu of his empire!"
"Junior brother, don't worry. Based on my observation of His Highness Seventh, Huo Dou won't be able to dance for a few days. Now, let him be arrogant!"
Lin Hui comforted Li Mo and then asked, "By the way, junior brother, weren't you with the emperor at that time? Why was the emperor killed by the rebels, and you..."
"I definitely don't think you betrayed Dachu, I just don't understand why!"
Li Moyan suddenly lowered his head and remained silent.
After a while, he raised his head, looked at Lin Hui and said, "At that time, someone opened the city gate for Huo Du, and all six princes were killed by the rebels in order to protect the emperor."
"A few of us ministers protected the emperor and retreated to the palace."
"On the way, the emperor suddenly issued an order, ordering us to return to his mansion and lie dormant, waiting for the opportunity!"
Lin Hui suddenly realized, "It turns out that the Emperor also knows that His Highness the Seventh is hiding his power and biding his time. He knows that Huo Dou has taken away Da Chu's territory today. In the near future, His Highness the Seventh will definitely be able to come back!"
"That must be it!"
Lin Hui was a little excited. He stood up and walked around on the ground, "Junior brother, who else was with the emperor at that time? Let's act separately. Don't let them be impulsive or waste their lives!"
Li Moyan thought for a while and said, "Except for those who died in battle or those who escaped secretly, the only ministers who were guarding the emperor at that time were me, Gu Changqing, the Minister of the Ministry of Justice, Yang Lin, the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, and Song Qi, the Minister of Dali Temple."
Lin Hui slapped the table and said, "So, except for those who died in the battle, everyone else is greedy for life and afraid of death. Otherwise, they are the accomplices of Huo Du's party!"
"Early this morning, I saw Guo Huai and He Qian in the court. These two gentle scum have completely disgraced our Chu officials. When I get the chance, I, Lin Hui, will kill these two with my own hands. Two people!"
Li Moyan and Li Zhi didn't think Lin Hui was telling lies at all.
When Huo Dou's rebels surrounded Kyoto, Lin Hui was ill. Otherwise, Huo Dou would not have been able to enter Kyoto so easily.
Seeing that the two of them were getting more and more excited as they talked, Li Zhi said quickly, "Uncle Lin, right now, we have to hurry up and contact the other uncles to prevent them from doing something stupid!"
"What my nephew said is true," Lin Hui also realized that he had not controlled his emotions well and said, "I confirmed it in front of Huo Du, saying that I would lobby the officials of Dachu for his use."
"Taking this opportunity, we will save a few adults who are loyal to Da Chu."
"As for those who are timid or have surrendered to the emperor, we don't have to worry about them!"
He glanced at Li Zhi and asked, "How did my nephew's naval army be captured by Huo Dou? Where will we go from now on? Do you want my uncle to take back the official position of naval commander for my nephew in front of Huo Dou, and transfer the navy to Huo Dou?" The battalion is in our hands so that we can serve His Highness the Seventh Prince in the future!"
Speaking of the naval camp, Li Zhi clenched his fists.
"I received an imperial edict from the emperor at that time, asking me to cross the Zhanjiang River with Huodu's troops overnight."
"I did not doubt the authenticity of the imperial edict, so I sent Huo Dou's rebels across Zhanjiang. Speaking of which, Huo Dou and I were tied to the same boat! I don't even know how to face His Majesty the Seventh Prince in the future!"
"In the past few days, my father sent people to investigate and found out that it was Guo Huai's people who falsely conveyed the imperial edict, which allowed Huo Du's rebels to successfully cross Zhanjiang."
"If His Highness the Seventh Highness comes to question me in the future, I am willing to be beheaded by His Highness the Seventh!
"Alas!" Lin Hui sighed, "All this is because of Guo Huai! Without Guo Huai, even if Huo Dou had other ideas, he would not be able to take Kyoto and kill the emperor so smoothly!"
Li Moyan thought for a while and said, "Since we have decided to lie dormant and wait for the opportunity, please ask Senior Brother to tell Huo Dou to let Zhi'er still be in charge of the navy camp. This can also be regarded as retaining a navy for Da Chu, so that he can provide it to Huo Dou in the future. For the use of His Majesty Seventh Prince."
"As for the Minister of Justice, the Minister of Personnel, and the Minister of Dali Temple, I will contact them and make sure to leave some capable ministers for the Seventh Prince!"
"Okay, we've settled it like this." Lin Hui stood up, "Without further ado! My nephew, please come with me to the palace to see Huo Dou!"
"I believe that when it comes to hiring people, even if Huo Dou is worried about his nephew, he will not touch his nephew for the time being!"
.
When Lin Hui and Li Zhi arrived at the palace, Qin Ze took his nephew Qin Hao out of the Golden Palace.
Qin Ze originally took over the task of finding the grain and grass camp and had already left the palace.
It was Qin Hao who insisted on pestering Qin Ze to enter the palace and ask Huo Dou for a job.
In fact, it was to give the emperor an official position.
Huo Du did not give Qin Hao any official position, but only promised that as long as Qin Hao made meritorious service, he would be the commander of the Imperial Guard in the palace.
