Lin Yu arrived a little late.
Standing in the corridor, he straightened his appearance while the waiter came in to announce the situation.
Eunuch Cao came out and called "Uncle".
Lin Yu said: "I went to Fu Guogong's Mansion at noon, and I didn't know about the call from the Holy Father until I returned to the Hanlin Academy."
"Your Majesty, there is no rush," Eunuch Cao said, "I just happened to have lunch."
This lunch was for Cuihua Palace. It was so sudden that the imperial concubine was not prepared.
Eunuch Cao led Lin Yu in and said a few words in a low voice: "Your Majesty is not in a good mood."
Lin Yu was not surprised.
There was an incident in the paddock yesterday and it was so "busy" in the morning. How could His Majesty not hold his breath?
He had just met Xu Jian and Lin Yunyan again, and learned a lot of hidden secrets. Even though he had always had a calm temper, he almost had a fit on the spot.
Too dangerous!
How risky it is to plot against the prince and protect him from getting hurt!
What's more, are they colluding with others? They are conspiring with a crazy blind bear!
If you make a careless move, the injury will be minor!
Even if Yun Yan could think of such a dangerous move, she couldn't do it. Only Xu Jian had the courage and ability to take the initiative to plan it.
Since Xu Jian is the mastermind, Lin Yun will not train Lin Yunyan, but he should train Xu Jian...
Can't train.
It's not a matter of being close or not. Who can be so cruel as to discipline a person who is lying on the hospital bed to recuperate?
Furthermore, Lin Yu also saw Xu Jian's determination.
On the day we returned home, their father-in-law and son-in-law talked a lot in the study.
Xu Jian wanted to replace the prince, but Lin Yu couldn't persuade him with words, and wanted to calm down and see if the prince was really so hopeless.
Who would have thought that things had changed less than ten years after I had been in charge of government this year.
Going all out to set up such a trap shows that Xu Jian is determined to have his own way. He is a persistent character. Once he has determined it, he continues to move forward and bites the prince with this trick that can hurt the enemy by one thousand and hurt himself by eight hundred.
Because Xu Jian found out that someone was following him, and it was arranged by Eunuch Feng next to Li Shao, so he took advantage of it.
Lin Yu knew that Xu Jian and His Highness didn't have much of a relationship as monarchs and ministers, but he secretly turned to stalking, which he really didn't expect.
What does His Highness want to do?
They have not yet taken power, but if they treat Xu Jian like this, what will happen to the Xu and Lin families on the day they ascend the throne?
No wonder Xu Jian was tense.
Lin Yu couldn't help but wonder, could it be stretched to this level just by seeing clearly and thinking thoroughly? He couldn't even say that Xu Jian was thinking too much, it was more like Xu Jian had seen and tasted it with his own eyes.
The bitter and spicy taste was so unforgettable that Xu Jian avoided it like a snake or a scorpion.
This tension obviously also affected Yun Yan.
In other words, at this moment, it affected him to some extent.
Taking a deep breath, Lin Yue arrived in front of the emperor, saluted and said hello.
The Holy One gave him a seat and said, "I heard that Aiqing went to visit Xu Jian and Ning An at noon?"
"Yes," Lin Yue replied, "They returned to Beijing at midnight, so I didn't disturb them. I took advantage of the lunch break to go there. I saw with my own eyes that everything was fine, so I felt relieved."
"This is natural," the Holy Spirit sighed, "it's the same for all parents."
Perhaps because of the mention of Li Shao, the Holy Father sighed with emotion: "Unfortunately, I calm down and think about it, I am not a good father."
Lin Yu didn't answer, waiting for the Holy Master to continue speaking.
"I've been keeping Shao'er by my side for so many years, but some of my previous ideas with him didn't seem to match up."
"I hoped that he would be a good prince, but he obviously didn't do it well. He put all his efforts into being filial to me, but I am really not a loving father."
Lin Yu understood what His Majesty meant and considered it carefully: "The relationship between you and His Highness is different from other fathers and sons in the world."
In other homes, father and son are father and son, but here, there are still monarchs and ministers separated, and they have to be strict.
A country is passed on.
To be fair, Lin Yu believes that if there are no monarchs and ministers, but just ordinary father and son, the father-son relationship between the Holy Emperor and His Highness is actually very good. Without the position of crown prince, His Highness's growth and temperament, even if there are shortcomings, will not be This gives the Lord a headache.
After listening to Lin Yu's words, the Holy Father smiled and shook his head: "It's not easy to raise a child! Every family has its own worries. I don't have to worry about my son's food and clothing. All I have to worry about is...
I always think that the queen will leave Shaoer alone. If I don’t put more thought into it, who will make arrangements for him?
They all put a lot of effort into raising children, and Aiqing raised them much better than I did. "
"This is embarrassing for me," Lin Yu said. "Yun Yan is a girl, and her family has no worries about food and clothing. I can't raise her. Her upbringing depends on the empress dowager, my mother and father. Her younger siblings all dote on her."
"I know that Ning An would rather not be so favored, and she would rather have her mother," the Holy Emperor sighed, "If the Queen were here, Shao'er probably wouldn't be like this.
To be honest with you, I am quite hesitant at the moment.
There is no shortage of upright people around Shaoer, be it Sangu or Xu Jian, they have mentioned him frequently over the years.
It's easy to learn bad things but hard to learn well. A Liu Xun can make Shaoer happy in Chenmi Hutong and forget about Shu. I replaced all the people in the East Palace, but I still have a Feng servant. That person is the same as Wang Liuliu, he said Just mutter a few words..."
Lin Yu had a look of astonishment on his face.
He knew that Chamberlain Feng had people following Xu Jian, and he also thought that the palace would check the people around His Highness, but he did not expect that Chamberlain Feng would already be found, and that this person was actually related to Wang Liuliu.
"You mean, Li Mi..." Lin Yu shook his head, "I heard that Li Mi is indeed dead."
The Holy Master looked at Lin Yu and said: "Li Mi is dead, but he is still alive. Some people don't want Shaoer to be good, and they don't want me to be good. That's right. In those days, there was a bloody storm, poisoning King Ding, and creating fake mountain bandits. In the end, the throne was lost. How can you be content with me when you are here?"
Lin Yu pursed her lips, hesitating whether to mention the Dingguo Temple fire.
Before he could think it through, the Holy Father had already spoken: "I called Aiqing here today because I have something to discuss."
"Your Majesty, please speak." Lin Yu said.
"Shao'er's temper needs to be tempered," the Holy Master sighed, "Xu Jian told me before that Shao'er has been the crown prince since he can remember. It went very smoothly, but it also made him lack confidence.
He didn't have the identity change from an ordinary prince to a crown prince, and he didn't have to exercise restraint and caution every step of the way. That's why he had a small throne to let him feel a little bit different.
Unfortunately, it's still not enough. "
Lin Yu was keen, and when he heard this, his heart trembled.
He couldn't help but glance at Eunuch Cao.
Eunuch Cao stood guard by the curtain from beginning to end, looking very serious.
Seeing this, Lin Yu basically confirmed his guess and said, "If you want to take this step, the risk is very high."
The Holy Spirit laughed.
Lin Yu was indeed smart. No wonder the late emperor was particularly fond of him when he was still alive. It was easy to talk to smart people.
"My dear, you might as well elaborate." He said.
Lin Yu didn't speak immediately. He frowned and thought, thinking again and again.
The Holy Spirit did not urge me. He knew that the matter was serious and required careful consideration.
After a long time, Lin Yucai said: "You want to depose the prince. This is a means. It does not really cut off his inheritance. You just want to use this to tighten the prince's skin and let him understand that the position of prince is not easy to sit on, and that the country is not easy." Come on, when he becomes the heir apparent, and you register him, you will give him a transformational experience."
"Previously, Colleague Chen Mihu reported that there were many voices of impeachment against His Highness in the court. Until the ban was lifted, some people tried hard to pull His Highness down. You suppressed it at that time."
"I heard that Xu Jian told you about your considerations. Your Highness made a big mistake regarding the Chenmi Hutong incident, but there are also other people's plans. Under the obvious calculation, even your most beloved prince, you will severely punish him to the point of abandoning him. This will affect other His Highnesses."
"The oldest of them is only eight years old, and the youngest is still in his infancy. Once someone goes out of his way to eradicate dissidents, the growth of Your Highnesses will be worrying."
"There was an accident in the paddock this time. There were a lot of injuries, but no one was killed. It was bad luck to encounter a black bear. It was your nod to go to the paddock. If you dethrone the prince because of this, it really can't be justified."
"Even if you want to give the prince a chance to start over, you have to convince him. If the blow is too much and His Highness is unable to recover, it will really backfire."
"The position of crown prince, whether established or abolished, will ultimately have a great impact on fortune."
After Lin Yu finished speaking, he bowed and saluted.
Today's situation is really shocking. Even if Xu Jian's purpose is to change the prince, Lin Yu dare to say that Xu Jian never thought that the emperor would have such an idea at this moment.
Of course, Lin Yu would not be secretly happy, because he knew very well that the deposedness of the Holy Emperor and the deposedness of Xu Jian were two different things.
The Holy Spirit is a means, but what Xu Jian wants is the result.
When Lin Yu was in front of the emperor, he had to tell everything he was thinking, good and bad. This was the attitude he had to show.
Lin Yu was not the only one who had the brains. His Majesty came up with this method, and there were many twists and turns. How could he not have thought about it?
The Holy Spirit knew what Lin Yu said.
What the Holy Father needs is someone who can give him a "push" and firm up his ideas.
Even if Lin Yu insists on objecting, this matter will probably move forward in the end, but he and the Holy Spirit will be estranged in their opinions.
That's what Lin Yan didn't want.
Furthermore, even if it’s two different things, it’s still a big step.
The Holy Emperor listened carefully to Lin Yu's words, nodded and said, "I understand Aiqing's thoughts, so if I want to abolish him, I must do so in a reasonable and well-founded way."
It can make other ministers who have plans to throw in the rat weapon and think twice.
"Furthermore," the Holy One cleared his throat, concealing some of his fatigue, "I am still in my prime, so I can clear the road while I can still control the situation.
As long as Shaoer is determined to grow up well, I will give him a chance and will not let anyone replace him.
What I'm worried about is that if I don't temper him, how can I still control the situation for him when I get older? "
At that time, he was old, and his other sons were gradually growing up. Under those open and covert arrows, there would be the next king Li Cang, and there would also be the next deposed prince Li Mi...
The Holy One doesn't want his sons to end up like that.
"You have good intentions, and I hope that this intention can be understood by His Highness," Lin Yu said, paused, and then said, "You are now lacking a rationale."
The Holy One nodded: "Yes."
Lin Yu pondered and said, "Your Majesty, you still doubt that the fire in Dingguo Temple was not an accident, right?"
The Holy Emperor looked deeply at Lin Yu: "I have never changed my opinion. You know that, my dear, but you always contradict me."
"I just can't find any evidence to question it," Lin Yue took a deep breath and sighed, which showed the ups and downs of his emotions. He stabilized himself and said, "What happened that night was not only Dingguo Temple, but also those rockeries. There is no conclusion yet as to who was behind the thief."
The Holy Emperor signaled Lin Yu to continue.
"In the rumors, the most likely person is the one from Yongji Palace," Lin Yu said. "He has never admitted it."
"Recognize or not, he was imprisoned by the late emperor." The Holy One said.
Lin Yun changed the topic and brought it to Li Shao's head again: "After Chen Mihu and colleagues were exposed, even if His Highness the Crown Prince went to Yongji Palace, how did he meet that person?"
The Holy Emperor narrowed his eyes: "Ai Qing wants to make a fuss about Li Jun?"
"You want to abolish it with good reason and let those who are willing to consider it, then the man from Yongji Palace is a good cover," Lin Yu said, "His Highness has met him once, and you can also meet him a second time. We have interacted with him a lot. It's justifiable.
Furthermore, you also know that person’s temperament. He has been banned for more than ten years, and he will not be without resentment in his heart. If the fake bandits and Dingguo Temple were really related to him, or if he knew something, he would not be safe if he was excited. Won't tell anything. "
The Holy Lord lowered his eyes, slowly finished a cup of tea, and said, "What Aiqing said makes sense. I will think about it more."
Lin Yu stood up and left.
Eunuch Cao sent him out and said softly: "Uncle, go slowly."
Lin Yu agreed with a smile, his attitude was clear. He knew the importance and would not talk nonsense outside the imperial study room.
This matter is so important that the Holy Emperor cannot just listen to Lin Yu's words.
In the afternoon, he summoned Sangong again.
No one knew what the Holy One said to several important ministers, but it was obvious that the moods of the elders were quite solemn.
At this moment, some new words were added to the discussion in Beijing.
We ate porridge yesterday and were busy shopping for new year's goods today. Gradually, no one knew who first remembered the flowing banquet promised by Dong Chen's family, and they all became concerned about Duke Fu's injury.
"I heard it's getting better. I thought I'd be able to have a feast next spring."
"It seems like I didn't go to court today."
"It's such a cold day, and if you go around in the paddock for a while, wouldn't that be bad again?"
"I heard that it was to save His Highness the Crown Prince. His Highness was being chased by a black bear. It was only because of the protection of the Duke that nothing happened."
"Your Highness seems to have passed away. He was so frightened!"
"It's nothing to look for. I was frightened and didn't say anything. It also caused the Duke Fu and all the royal guards to suffer. Yesterday, so many people rushed out of the city. Didn't they all see it?"
These rumors could reach Qianbu Corridor, but not the East Palace.
Li Shao had no idea. He was just lying on the couch with his eyes distracted and his thoughts unclear.
Waiter Feng is actually in the same group as Wang Liuliu? !
He was led by someone's nose?
Is there anyone trustworthy around him?
Xu Jian was pretending to deceive his father; Eunuch Guo didn't mention it, because he was Eunuch Cao's person.
"Eunuch Guo," Li Shao waved, called the person to him, and asked, "You weren't the one who sued Feng Nei, right?"
