No one cared about Luo Sheng's mood. Everyone went down to court, still thinking about Sui Lin's rebuttal in the main hall, and they were very excited.

If it hadn't been for what Sui Lin had just said, I'm afraid Daxia would have been manipulated by the small country of Nanzhao.

This makes them unable to breathe.

As for the Second Highness, he actually fell into a slump after the flood incident and was unwilling to even pretend to be progressive.

The Prime Minister heard everyone whispering and sighed deeply.

They are afraid they still don't know that His Highness, whose heart is as high as the sky, is unwilling to make progress and is clearly unwilling to confront the people of Nanzhao.

Thinking about this, there was something else he didn't understand.

I am afraid that His Highness has colluded with the Nanzhao people for a long time.

It's really chilling.

Although he was already quite young, he still wanted to secure a future for future generations, otherwise he would not have boarded Suiheng's boat.

But Suiheng is now disregarding the lives of ordinary people for his own selfish interests, and he may burn bridges at any time after he ascends the throne.

He still had to think about it.

There are also many colleagues in Suiheng's position. These people may have their own selfish motives, but they are all indispensable forces in Daxia.

He couldn't watch these people fall into despair because of Suiheng.

Shen Hanzhang was not as entangled as him. He and Suiheng had long been inseparable and could only live and die together.

Shen Qingman has become much more at peace recently.

The Nanzhao incident was originally her idea for Suiheng. Speaking of which, the medicine she administered to Suiheng was also obtained from the people of Nanzhao.

However, Shen Qingman became angry again when he heard that Sui Lin was so popular in the court, even overshadowing Sui Heng's past actions.

Why is Suilin so annoying? How could someone who was clearly a sick man and died early in the plot undergo such a big change?

Is it possible that Suilin, like her, also wears books?

After thinking for a long time, Shen Qingman denied this possibility.

Every time Sui Lin made a move, he was half a beat slower than them, as if he knew the plot.

But every time he avoided options that were unfavorable to him.

She never would have guessed that Suilin knew the plot, but it was the easiest thing to stay the same in the face of changes.

It is actually not difficult for Sui Lin to complete the task. What is difficult is that he cannot challenge the rules of the small world too much.

For example, driving a mecha to kill everyone in the ancient plane. If he could do this, Suilin would have opened up ten worlds long ago.

Or in this world, if he wants to ascend to power, he can directly kill the emperor and his other sons, but the rules of the plane do not allow him to adopt such a method.

Just like killing people is not allowed in the modern plane.

Therefore, he could only follow the plot trend to a certain extent, deal with Sui Yunjing Suiheng and others, and achieve the original owner's wish through reasonable methods.

To put it simply, Suilin's actions must conform to the character's logic and be recognized by others in the small world.

And if Suiheng, Shen Qingman and others who wanted to persecute the original owner were punished, of course he had to let them do something first.

In this way, he can legitimately avenge the original owner.

Shen Qingman didn't know this. She only knew that Sui Lin's existence was too much of a hindrance and had to be removed.

It doesn't matter if she doesn't succeed once or twice, she has plenty of time.

Eight times out of ten, she didn't believe that Sui Lin could avoid it every time.

*

On the other hand, Sui Lin naturally didn't know that Shen Qingman was starting to have bad ideas in his heart.

His recent attention has been on the work of Nanzhao and his party and the Ministry of Revenue.

The first is Luo Sheng's purpose of coming to Daxia, although he claimed that he came to ask for an explanation.

But now that he couldn't get an explanation, Suilin gave him a solution, but he still refused to let go and walked around the capital with the imperial army all day long.

Apart from eating, drinking and having fun, he just lay in the post house and read drawings, looking like he had nothing to do.

Shi Lin was even more convinced that his so-called request for an explanation was just an excuse.

He and Suiheng must be planning something behind their backs, but they haven't seen each other at all during this period of time.

What their purpose is remains to be seen.

Another thing is that the Minister of Hubu, who is now the new Minister of Hubu, King Wang, finally relaxed.

But after all, he did not directly contact the person, but only told Sui Lin that the military salary account book in the southern border was either in the hands of the original Minister of Household Affairs or Sui Heng.

Considering that after the Secretary of the Ministry of Finance was imprisoned, his house had been searched several times, and no substantive evidence was found. It can be determined that such an important thing must be in Suiheng's hands.

According to Mr. Wang, the military salary officially allocated by the Ministry of Household Affairs is 700,000 taels of silver per year, but only 500,000 of this money was actually taken out of the capital, and the remaining 200,000 came back around the corner. Beijing.

As for whose pocket it falls into, it’s self-evident.

And it’s hard to say how much of the 500,000 that left the capital would be left after it was transported to the border.

After layer upon layer of exploitation in the middle links, part of the money that those people exploited would become their ticket to the upward passage, all the way up, and finally back to the capital.

Sui Lin was shocked after hearing this.

Judging from this, Suiheng has been able to get about 300,000 yuan from military pay every year over the years. After accumulating for so many years, he has at least more than 1 million on hand, which is simply richer than Daxia's treasury.

With such a large amount of money, I don’t know where he hid it.

If Sui Yunjing knew that he had been frugal for so many years, and all the money he saved went into Suiheng's pocket, he doesn't know what he would think.

Sui Lin was happy to see this scene.

But if you want to see the father and son turn against each other, you must first find Suiheng's hiding place.

Suiheng is really good at hiding, and Xiaohei's surveillance is limited, so he can't keep an eye on him all the time.

Besides, as long as he didn't go to the hiding place, Xiao Hei would naturally have no chance of discovering Suiheng's secret.

It seemed that he still had to create opportunities for Suiheng to take the initiative.

*

On the surface, Sui Yunjing just contracted the wind and cold, but even after taking medicine for more than ten days, he was not feeling better.

If Fu Mingchen hadn't restricted the ministers from visiting Sui Yunjing, everyone might have thought that he was blackmailing the emperor to order the princes.

Even though Sui Yunjing was lying down and unable to move, he still understood the recent events through Fu Mingchen's mouth.

He seemed to be trying to express something, but he tried his best to only twitch the corners of his eyes. He tried to hold Fu Mingchen's hand, but was avoided without any trace.

Sighing from the bottom of his heart, he stared at Fu Mingchen's face almost greedily, and said with some relief: "Mingchen, you did a good job."

Fu Mingchen was not happy after hearing these words.

Thinking of Sui Lin's look when he learned what happened back then, he also started to feel uncomfortable in his stomach.

The mother-in-law gave up everything in the capital back then, probably because of the man in front of her.

And my father has been in the cold and cold places in the north for many years, and he probably doesn't want to see this person again.

To be honest, Sui Yunjing was indeed very kind to him, but these kindnesses were mixed with some dirty thoughts that could not be seen in the light.

It made him feel extremely uncomfortable.

This person never asked him whether he needed this favor. He put him in a position that others could not reach, thinking that he had enjoyed the highest honor.

But in fact, it caused more disasters.

After entering Beijing, his originally simple life trajectory began to change, and he had no choice but to hide all his thoughts and act cautiously.

Although he didn't necessarily have much thought in the first place.

But when it comes to hatred, he doesn't have much real feeling for this person.

It is only at the end of the year that I am more qualified to hate this person.

Because the wind and cold in Suiyunjing never got better, the imperial doctors were dragged out and beheaded several of them, and the remaining ones were also trembling all day long, for fear that they would one day follow in the footsteps of their predecessors.

Fortunately, after lying in bed for more than twenty days, Sui Yunjing's body finally improved, but the shadows under his eyes were deeper than before.

On the contrary, Sui Yunjing felt that his body was lighter than before, and his heart was filled with joy.

These days, he would have the same dream from time to time. In the dream, he was poisoned by his biological son and died tragically.

While lying in bed, he wondered whether he was going to die every moment, but he didn't even see clearly who the poisoner in the dream was, so how could he die with peace of mind.

Fortunately, it was just a dream. Now, he could not be better.

He had been absent from government affairs for nearly a month, and it was time to meet the so-called Crown Prince of Nanzhao.

Some people headed by the prime minister finally saw the living Sui Yunjing sitting on the dragon chair after many days, and they all breathed a sigh of relief.

During the emperor's absence, although the regent had managed the affairs of the court in an orderly manner, they still had doubts in their hearts.

The third prince also made a lot of efforts in political affairs during his tenure. It was rare for him to have true knowledge and insights while also being considerate of officials and the people.

Only the second prince was becoming more and more disappointing. Not only did he have no achievements, he even didn't bother to show off at the Ministry of Rites.

Fortunately, Sui Yunjing seems to be able to hold on and has time to wait for Sui Lin to grow up.

Unknowingly, the thoughts of many officials turned towards Suilin.

The only problem is the health of the Third Highness, but I haven't seen the Third Highness get sick for some time, and I hope it can continue.

Everyone was waiting for Luo Sheng to come to see Sui Yunjing, but no one came after waiting for a long time. When they were about to send someone to urge him, suddenly the leader of the forbidden army asked for an audience outside the palace.

There must be something important to come to see him at this time. Sui Yunjing hurriedly summoned people into the hall.

The leader of the Forbidden Army knelt on the ground as soon as he came in: "Your Majesty, a fire suddenly broke out in the post house an hour ago, and the Prince of Nanzhao could not be saved and died in the sea of ​​fire."

When everyone heard this, their eyes suddenly darkened.

The prince of another country died in their territory of Daxia, and they were asked to explain to Nanzhao.

Sui Yunjing was also stunned for a long time: "Tell me clearly, what is going on?"

"Your Majesty, an hour ago it happened to be the time for the guards to change. During the interval, a fire suddenly broke out in the post house. The fire was fierce. After the fire was extinguished, the charred corpse was found lying in the room of the Nanzhao Crown Prince. "

Sui Yunjing: "Can we find out why the posthouse caught fire?"

"Back to the emperor, an empty tung oil barrel was found near the post house. Someone must have deliberately set the fire on fire, and the burning was most severe in the Nanzhao Prince's room. I think..."

Suiyun's prosperity was all over the place: "Are you trying to say that Prince Nanzhao deliberately set fire to himself?"

The leader of the Forbidden Army knelt on the ground and did not dare to say a word.

After taking a breath, Sui Yunjing asked again: "Have you confirmed that the body is that of the Nanzhao Crown Prince?"

"Going back to the emperor, the body shape is the same as that of the Nanzhao prince. Dali Temple has already transported the body away, but the general from Nanzhao did not agree to the autopsy."

Sui Lin looked at the leader of the Forbidden Army and fell into deep thought.

Could someone like Luo Sheng really die so easily?

Why doesn't he believe it?

[Xiao Hei. 】

As soon as Sui Lin opened his mouth, Xiao Hei guessed what he was going to do, and replied after a moment: [Sir, the body is not Luo Sheng, but there is no news about Luo Sheng. 】

Sure enough, Sui Lin was not too surprised.

Now there is no news about Luo Sheng, which means that he has left the capital.

This was his purpose, he wanted to use his death to provoke a war between the two countries.

I don’t know what kind of benefits Suiheng gave him to enable him to do this.

Fu Mingchen looked over at Sui Lin inadvertently. Sui Lin noticed his gaze and shook his head without any trace.

Fu Ming was stunned and frowned at the same time.

Sui Lin was unable to inform everyone that Luo Sheng was alive. The current situation seemed to necessitate a war.

Sui Yunjing only felt that his head, which had healed just now, started to hurt again. He didn't know what he did not do well enough and offended God, which caused disasters to happen one after another.

But he was also a person who didn't believe in heaven. He suppressed his ridiculous thoughts and rubbed his brows: "What do you think?"

At Suiheng's suggestion, Shen Hanzhang once again put forward the suggestion of sending envoys to Nanzhao.

This time, no one but him echoed.

The Prime Minister looked at Sui Heng with disappointment, but the thoughts in his mind were just guesses. How could he say it out loud, and how could he make Sui Yunjing believe it.

Seeing that everyone was still motionless, Suiheng seemed very angry, and took the initiative to stand up and echo Shen Hanzhang: "Father, I think Master Shen's words are reasonable, but after all, it is the Nanzhao royal family who died. I am afraid it will be difficult to calm Nanzhao's anger. It would be better to avoid Nanzhao paying tribute in the future."

Sui Yunjing watched Suiheng deep in thought and began to think about the feasibility.

However, Sui Lin contradicted him: "Second brother, why did you acquiesce that it was my fault, Daxia? Now it is better to find out the truth about the fire in the post house before making a decision."

Sui Heng replied unhappily: "The third brother is really naive. The death of a prince of a country, how can this be concealed? If we don't send someone now, it will be too late by then."

Sui Lin followed his words: "Second brother is still thoughtful. If I remember correctly, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of Nanzhao Kingdom just came to Daxia, and he couldn't wait to get to know second brother. I think he has been fascinated by second brother for a long time. If you can Second brother will be the middleman, and things will definitely be settled."

Suiheng sneered: "The third brother is so eager to push me out. It seems that he doesn't want to repay my service to Daxia."

Sui Lin raised his eyebrows. Suiheng had learned to suppress his temper. It seemed that he was sure of victory this time.

However, why does he have to push someone to negotiate at this time?

The current trend is the most beneficial to him.

After pondering for a moment, Sui Lin figured out the key.

I have asked people to send envoys to the court twice. I am afraid that I am not trying to establish myself as a person who is dedicated to the country.

The reason why the matter ended last time was because of Luo Sheng's sudden arrival.

This time it will not succeed because no one can be sure that Nanzhao will not fall out directly.

He gave advice both times. If he couldn't grasp it, it wasn't his problem.

If the two countries go to war, it has nothing to do with him.

I have to say that he has indeed gained a lot of brains during this time.

I hope he can maintain his intelligence until the end.
