Happy Emperor

After a long silence, Yourong raised his head again.

He stuck out his tongue and licked his lips continuously.

The lush lips were licked by him until they gradually revealed the redness they should have.

Her eyes were a little complicated, and then gradually began to clear up.

"I want to ask you a question?"

"Say!"

Lin Tian nodded and replied calmly.

To be honest, he didn't dislike the woman in front of him.

"From what I understand, you were a foolish and unjust person before." Yourong paused, not paying attention to the cold looks from An Bilie and the others. "But why did you suddenly change? It's like you've become a completely different person?"

"Have you been hiding yourself all this time?"

Lin Tian was slightly stunned, and just grinned at Yong Rong without replying.

"Well, since you don't want to talk about it, forget it. Anyway, I also want to..."

Suddenly, a mouthful of black blood spurted out of Yourong's mouth.

Within a few seconds he fell to the ground and lay motionless.

This sudden situation made everyone present gasp for breath. No one thought that the woman in front of them would commit suicide.

"She...when did she take the poison?"

An Bilie stepped forward and touched Yongrong's neck. After finding no pulse, he shook his head at Emperor Li.

"Her lips must have been smeared with some kind of poison."

"Moreover, she had already decided to end her life from the beginning."

.......

Ten days later.

Talk about the Ontario border.

Lin Tian, ​​An Bilie, Huang Tianba, Lin Tianyang and others sat in the military camp with serious expressions.

"Your Majesty, I wonder why? A few days ago, the King of Pingdong suddenly ordered the army to withdraw from the front line. According to spies, these troops are now stationed a hundred kilometers away from the border."

The seventh prince Lin Tianyang looked solemn and bowed to Lin Tian.

The reason why Lin Tian and his party hurried to the front line from Qingning Prefecture was because they received news from Lin Tianyang and An Jie, who was stationed in Jifeng Province, that King Pingdong had suddenly withdrawn his troops.

"Have you investigated the reason?"

Lin Tian also frowned.

The two armies have been facing each other on the front line for a month, and war may break out at any time.

But at this moment, the usually powerful King Pingdong chose to withdraw his troops, giving up a cache area of ​​over a hundred kilometers.

He really couldn't understand why King Pingdong did this.

Even if Li Ren and Zhao Wuji had been using troops in the south, they would not have allowed King Pingdong to take the initiative to seek peace!

"The reason is still unclear, but..." Lin Tianyang said uncertainly, "I heard from our spies that after withdrawing his troops from the Pingdong King's territory, he suddenly imposed martial law. The governors of the three provinces under his control were also summoned to Jilu Province by the Pingdong King. I suspect there must be some kind of unrest within their ranks."

"turmoil?"

Lin Tian narrowed his eyes slightly.

"You're probably right."

"Brother, please...save my father."

When Lin Ruxue heard the word "turmoil", she suddenly became flustered and knelt in front of Lin Tian and begged.

"Who is this?"

Lin Tianyang had never seen Lin Ruxue before, so when he heard Lin Ruxue call Lin Tianhuang brother, he was stunned and asked.

"She is Lin Ruxue."

Lin Tian has been wondering who started this civil strife on the side of King Pingdong.

Without thinking, he replied to Lin Tianyang.

"Lin~Ru~Xue."

Lin Tianyang repeated the name, "Lin, so he must be from the royal family."

After a while.

Lin Tianyang looked at Lin Ruxue, who was kneeling on the ground, in surprise. "You are Ruxue's cousin? The daughter of the uncle of the Prince of Pingdong!"

Every prince left behind by the late emperor held the King of Pingdong in high esteem. In fact, if it weren't for the sudden rise of Emperor Li, in Lin Tianyang's mind, his uncle, the King of Pingdong, would have been a more suitable candidate to be the emperor of Great Xia.

Lin Ruxue turned her head to look at Lin Tianyang, nodded slightly, and then pleaded with Lin Tian again: "Brother Emperor, if you are unwilling to send troops, can you let me go back? I..."

"What can I do if I let you go back?"

"I......."

"Don't worry." Lin Tian glanced at everyone and said with certainty, "It must be that the emperor's uncle, the Prince of Pingdong, discovered the scheme of Lin Zhen and the others and launched a cleanup operation."

"This... Your Majesty, how did you make this judgment?"

An Bilie asked, and everyone present looked at Emperor Li.

They all wanted to hear why Emperor Li made such a judgment.

"the reason is simple."

Lin Tian paused. "First, although Lin Zhen controls most of the officials in the Pingdong King's territory, the military power has always been in the hands of the Pingdong King. Think about Tang Bo. Didn't he think that controlling all the officials in Liaoan Province would allow him to compete with me? What was the result?"

After hearing this, everyone nodded, and felt that what Lin Tian said made a lot of sense.

"Secondly, if Lin Zhen succeeds in usurping power, or controls most of the military power, not only will he not withdraw his troops, but he will also order an immediate war with me. In this way, whether the Prince of Pingdong is willing or not, he will be dragged into it."

"If you go to war with us without absolute control of the military power, and if Prince Pingdong doesn't support you, wouldn't it be too risky for Lin Zhen to attack immediately?"

Lin Tianyang analyzed, "The best approach is to show weakness first and withdraw the army. Then, wait until they have complete control of the military before engaging in a decisive battle with us."

"You're right." Lin Tian had actually been struggling with this problem just now, but then he figured it out.

"However, this is just what we normal people think. Lin Zhen is different from us!"

Lin Tian said coldly, "How could a man who is willing to sell out his country just to become emperor consider taking risks? As long as he gets the slightest chance, Lin Zhen will never let him go."

"The most important thing is that in this situation the safest thing to do is to start a war immediately."

Everyone: "?"

"If he doesn't send troops, what will happen if I attack him under the pretext of rescuing Prince Pingdong?"

When everyone heard this, they suddenly understood.

In this way, Lin Zhen would be caught in a pincer attack, and it would be impossible for him to replace all the generals in the army at the first time. If Emperor Li used the banner of rescuing King Pingdong, would these generals rebel?

Moreover, he had to be attacked from both sides by Emperor Li and King Pingdong.

Neither of these two people can be dealt with by Lin Zhen alone.

Therefore, if Lin Zhen has control over most of the soldiers, the safest thing to do is to immediately send troops to fight a decisive battle with Emperor Li.

And we must emphasize that - "I can do what my father cannot do!"

This confusion made the generals in the army follow him to fight against Emperor Li.

Moreover, once the two armies go to war, Prince Pingdong's concerns will increase, and he may be forced to support Lin Zhen.

Of course, this is under the premise that he does not know that Lin Zhen is secretly colluding with Zhao State.
