Ying Qi glanced around. In the hall, he brought civil and military officials one after another, including those from the Ministry of Rites, the Ministry of War, and even the Ministry of Personnel, and there were many military personnel. They were all cowardly and did not dare to go forward.
Under normal circumstances, court officials would write letters to admonish the emperor. No matter how harsh the officials were, the emperor would not kill easily. Because killing Zheng Chen would be tantamount to tarnishing his image as a wise king.
Especially for emperors who are ambitious and determined to leave their name in history, officials who advise them should not be executed at will.
But Lin Feng didn't.
He doesn't care about the life or death of these people, let alone the rules in the court.
This is too cruel.
Ying Qi had no way out, because he was involved in the assassination of the emperor. Once the emperor recovers from his injuries, after a thorough investigation by Black Ice Platform, he will most likely be exposed and then liquidated.
This time, Yingqi cannot retreat.
Ying Qi took a step forward, held his head high, and said forcefully: "Lin Feng, this is our Great Qin, and more importantly, the Great Qin court. You are a member of the Xia Kingdom, and you are a traitor to the Xia Kingdom. You have no official or position in our Great Qin, but you interfere with the imperial court. .”
"A minister in the imperial court, an important official in the imperial court, kills whenever he is told."
"A person like you is not worthy of standing in my Great Qin Court. Even if my father arranges for you to handle affairs, you are not worthy. Today, you have the courage to kill me. Otherwise, this court will not have room for you, Lin Feng."
Ying Qi retorted flatly.
Lin Feng looked at Ying Qi and clicked his tongue: "The prince is so arrogant. I wonder if you were involved in His Majesty's assassination this time?"
Ying Qi's pupils shrank.
He already had a guilty conscience, but now when Lin Feng said it, he was like a cat whose tail was stepped on, and he sternly scolded: "Lin Feng, you are really domineering and domineering. I am the crown prince of the Qin Dynasty and the future king of the Qin Dynasty. Why would you assassinate your father?" . You are so arrogant and domineering."
Lin Feng's eyes narrowed when he saw Ying Qi's aggressive response.
Ying Qi's attitude was a bit strange.
Maybe Ying Qi was actually involved in Ying Jiuxiao's assassination.
Lin Feng's face remained calm, and he continued to test: "I just said a word, and the prince had such a big reaction. He said that I was slanderous and domineering. As the saying goes, if you don't do anything wrong, don't be afraid of ghosts knocking on the door. , the prince did not do it, so there is no need to worry. You can even cite many evidences. But your behavior is suspicious. Could it be that you really arranged for someone to assassinate your majesty? "
Wow! ! !
There was an uproar in the main hall.
When each of the court officials looked at Ying Qi, they had doubts in their eyes, and even more fear.
Once the prince plots rebellion, they will suffer the same consequences.
They sided with the prince.
However, I don’t want the prince to plot rebellion, which would be a serious crime that would implicate the nine clans.
Wei Huaiying was also standing in the crowd, watching the scene happening in front of him, and he had a bad feeling in his heart. Lin Feng's senses were so keen that he directly determined that the prince was involved in the assassination of the emperor.
"Come on, come on!"
Ying Qi was angry and scolded: "Lin Feng slandered me and captured Lin Feng."
It was only after he spoke that he suddenly realized that he couldn't move people at all.
Ying Qi was a little frustrated for a while.
what to do?
The palace is under Lin Feng's control. Once the emperor recovers, his situation will be very difficult?
After Ying Qi looked around, he said again: "Lin Feng, even if you have control of the imperial city now. But the world will not allow you to be domineering. When my father wakes up and learns that you have killed Kang Zheng and other ministers, he will definitely deal with it." you."
Lin Feng couldn't help but laugh.
Ying Qi was self-righteous, or said that there was no way to retreat, so there was nothing he could do.
Will the emperor deal with him?
What a joke.
"Hey, isn't this my good big brother and my good prince? He talks so hysterically, like a shrew scolding the street, how can he be so unbecoming?"
There was a voice coming from the door of the hall.
A slightly fat middle-aged man wearing a black robe and a smile on his face entered.
The person coming is King Yong Yingzhen.
He brought officials from King Yong's line and entered in unison. The moment Ying Zhen entered, he saw three corpses on the ground and the dead Kang Zheng, and his heart skipped a beat.
Kang Zheng is dead!
Sima Ao is dead!
Ji Tai is dead!
This is an important official of the imperial court!
Gudong!
Ying Zhen swallowed his saliva and turned his gaze to Lin Feng. Obviously, this was arranged by Lin Feng, because Meng Chong, the commander-in-chief of the Forbidden Army, now obeys Lin Feng's arrangements.
Ying Zhen took a deep breath, calmed his mind, and said with a smile: "Prince, what are you shouting about?"
Ying Qi said: "Why are you here?"
Ying Zhen shrugged and said: "The prince can get the news that his father is seriously ill, and then he comes to the palace to seize power. Why can't I come? Otherwise, if you Ying Qi, I'm afraid you will take advantage of the chaos to harm your father." ”
Lin Feng took over and said: "What King Yong said makes sense. The prince came to the palace just to seize power and control the palace. King Yong, what do you think about this matter?"
Yingzhen flicked his sleeves and said forcefully: "Of course not, why should the prince control the palace?"
Lin Feng turned to look at Ying Qi and continued: "Prince, the hundreds of officials who entered earlier were the ones you brought. Therefore, there are no officials to argue with your people. Now, Prince Yong has come, and the rest of the officials have also coming."
"Exactly, let's talk about it. Without His Majesty's edict, why does your prince hold power?"
"Although His Majesty is said to be in poor health, His Majesty's condition is already recovering and he is strong enough to take control of the government. If His Majesty is on his deathbed, then that's it. He will assume power as the Crown Prince. The problem is that His Majesty is in good health, so what rights are you snatching away? "
Ying Qi gritted his teeth, widened his eyes and said, "Lin Feng, you will definitely regret it."
Lin Feng said: "I never regret anything I do."
"let's go!"
Ying Qi flicked his sleeves, turned around and walked out.
He knew that King Yong Yingzhen was here and it would be impossible to seize power again. After all, King Yong would definitely stop him. Even because of Lin Feng's attitude and Lin Feng's control of the imperial city, he had no choice.
The only way now is to go back and make plans to seize power.
Lin Feng watched Ying Qi leave and felt relieved. With Ying Qi leaving, the pressure was reduced. Lin Feng's eyes turned and fell on Ying Zhen, his expression soft.
Ying Zhen is his tool man.
With Ying Zhen around, it would be impossible for Ying Qi to take power openly and openly.
Lin Feng said: "King Yong came to the palace at the right time. Thank you very much this time."
Ying Zhen glanced around and saw Ying San, Wang Tang and others. His mind turned and asked: "Lin Feng, how is my father's situation now? I want to see my father."
He wanted to take the opportunity to fulfill his filial piety.
This is an opportunity to further close the relationship, and by the way, give Ying Qi eye drops to make the emperor further dislike Ying Qi.
The next step is for him to become the prince, and everything will be simple.
Lin Feng shook his head and said: "Your Majesty is recovering, and he will probably recover in two or three days. At that time, I will notify King Yong to come to the palace to see him."
"His Royal Highness King Yong's current task is to keep an eye on the prince. Once the prince makes any move, His Highness King Yong needs to bring order to the chaos. Especially this time involving His Majesty's assassination, I suspect that the East Palace may be involved."
"The prince has not taken control of the palace this time. I am worried that the prince will jump over the wall in a hurry."
Lin Feng said: "King Yong, do you understand?"
Upon hearing this, Ying Zhen raised his brows and became excited. He cupped his hands and said, "Mr. Lin, thank you for your advice."
"Prince Yong is welcome."
Lin Feng smiled and spoke.
Ying Zhen knew one thing very well, that is, he was not a prince and could not directly take power. To take power, he must first defeat and win Qi, and only then can he have a chance to become the crown prince.
This is justifiable.
As long as the emperor is alive, Yingzhen will have a future.
Ying Zhen had no intention of staying in the palace forever, especially Lin Feng's attitude seemed to be gentle, but looking at the corpses of Kang Zheng and others, he knew that Lin Feng was not easy to mess with, and he could not have a bad relationship with Lin Feng.
Ying Zhen's mind was filled with investigating Ying Qi, so he flicked his sleeves and shouted hurriedly: "Let's go, I'll wait to leave the palace."
Lin Feng watched Ying Zhen leave with a smile on his lips.
Ying Zhen will continue to investigate the East Palace.
Then Prince Ying Qi of the East Palace, under a lot of pressure, may reveal his flaws.
This is Lin Feng's leverage.
The current situation still requires the help of King Yong, a tool man.
The hall soon became quiet, with only Lin Feng, Wang Tang, Ying San, Ying Wu and others remaining. Wang Tang looked at Lin Feng, smiled bitterly, and said: "Lin Feng, are you really not afraid of being retaliated for killing so many people? In fact, your behavior shocked all the officials in the court. In the future, you will enter the Great Qin Court. There will be resistance.”
Lin Feng said confidently: "I act upright and I am not afraid of these people. If they want to resist me, I should fight back. What's more, these people intend to subvert the Qin Dynasty, so I will kill them."
Ying San said with emotion: "I admire Mr. Lin's thunderbolt methods. Everyone says that Heibingtai killed countless people and was unscrupulous. Now when compared with Mr. Lin, Ying San is willing to be inferior."
Lin Feng chuckled, is this a compliment?
He didn't say anything more and left directly with Ying San, Wang Tang and others, and returned to the Yangxin Hall.
Wang Shun had been waiting in front of the emperor. When he saw that Lin Feng and others had returned soon after leaving, he was a little surprised and even more worried. He asked: "Mr. Lin, what's going on? Could it be that the prince didn't come or the situation got out of control?" , you guys came back so soon."
Lin Feng smiled and said: "The prince came and left again, and the situation is under control."
Wang Shun was a little confused.
Due to the special circumstances, no chamberlain has come to report the news in the palace hall.
Wang Tang took the conversation directly and talked about Lin Feng killing people to establish his authority. Wang Shun was speechless after hearing this. Lin Feng's handling methods are really ruthless and admirable.
A country's minister will kill anyone he says.
An important minister of a country will be killed as soon as he is told.
This is not something ordinary people can do.
Wang Shun thought for a while and said: "Mr. Lin's treatment is indeed powerful, shocking people with thunderbolts. Now the prince and King Yong have left one after another, and the palace has been temporarily quiet. There may be dark waves outside, but His Majesty has time to recover. .As long as His Majesty recovers, everything will naturally return to normal."
Lin Feng said: "That's what it means."
He walked straight to the sleeping Ying Jiuxiao, carefully observed Ying Jiuxiao's expression, checked his pulse, checked the tongue coating, etc. After observing for a while, Lin Feng said: "Your Majesty is recovering, there is nothing serious."
Wang Shun thought for a while and said: "Mr. Lin, I will keep an eye on you. If anything happens, I will inform Mr. Lin immediately."
Lin Feng said: "Manager Wang is getting old after all. You stare at the day, and I stare at the night."
Wang Shun nodded. After all, what Lin Feng said made sense.
Lin Feng looked at Ying San and said: "Master Ying, I have told Ying Wu before to dispatch people from Heibingtai to investigate the assassination of His Majesty. Your Majesty's situation is temporarily stable. You and Ying Wu will do your best to investigate this matter." thing."
Ying San nodded and said: "As you command!"
He cupped his hands and said, "Mr. Lin, His Majesty's safety is in your hands."
"Don't worry, I'll take care of everything."
Lin Feng replied solemnly.
Not to mention Ying Jiuxiao's various respects for him, not to mention Bai Yuyao's blood relationship, if Lin Feng wants to use Da Qin to take revenge, he also needs the emperor to be in good health. Therefore, Lin Feng must take care of the emperor and ensure that the emperor recovers.
Ying San bowed to Ying Jiuxiao and left with Ying Wu.
Lin Feng looked at Wang Tang again and said: "My lord, please don't stay in the palace. Go home and settle down first, and then keep an eye on the situation of the officials in the city. Only then can you tell me if there is any trouble. The reason why I want to Staying is for Your Majesty’s treatment, and you still need me.”
Wang Tang also nodded, bowed and left.
In the Yangxin Hall, only Wang Shun and Lin Feng were left. Wang Shun arranged for someone to go to the harem to deliver orders. After all, the queen and concubines came to explore before, but Wang Shun blocked them. Now that the situation is stable and the emperor's condition has recovered slightly, he still needs to be notified.
Lin Feng sat aside, thinking about what the prince Yingqi would do next.
Ying Qi's previous response in the palace was quite strange, so Lin Feng was more than 80% sure that Ying Qi participated in the assassination operation against the emperor. Ying Qi had taken this step and had no way out, and he would not watch the emperor recover.
Otherwise, Ying Qi will definitely die.
So what is the next step for Yingqi?
Revolt!
This is Yingqi's only choice.
If we want to start a rebellion, where can Yingqi rely on? The few guards in the East Palace are obviously not enough. To mobilize troops, the only way is the Black Dragon Army outside the city.
However, as for the Black Dragon Army, Lin Feng had already arranged for someone to say hello.
Assuming that Ying Qi takes special measures to control the Black Dragon Army, Lin Feng has Meng Chong to guard the imperial city, and Ying Jiuxiao's health begins to improve, so Lin Feng is confident in suppressing Ying Qi's rebellion.
But what about other than these?
Lin Feng thought quickly in his mind. With this idea, he felt that Yingqi, in addition to raising troops, would use cunning means to deal with the emperor and kill the emperor directly in the palace.
Lin Feng had an idea and asked, "Manager Wang, I have something to do."
"What's up?"
Wang Shun smiled and spoke.
Lin Feng said: "When Ying San leaves the palace, if someone comes to assassinate His Majesty, who can resist him now? Your Majesty is surrounded by masters at the master level to protect him. In fact, he needs someone stronger to protect him."
Wang Shun confidently said: "Don't worry, Mr. Lin, no one in the palace can harm your majesty."
Lin Feng nodded and felt relieved.
Wang Shun was making a statement.
Apparently, there is still power in the palace.
Lin Feng did not ask further. After all, he knew that there was someone protecting the emperor, and that was enough. Now, he just sat back and watched how Ying Qi performed?
What Lin Feng has to do is to promote the emperor's recovery as soon as possible.
This is the key!
