The Bandit Gentleman of the Red Chamber

If we say that the previous capital city was just undercurrents and the surface was still calm, the edict issued this morning completely broke the superficial calm.

Today, at the court meeting, the King of Dun County suddenly issued an order to return to Beijing. Who is the King of Dun County? Anyone who cares knows that he was the right-hand man who was trained by the King for the abolished prince, but now the Lord has summoned him back from Jiangnan. Does this mean that... for a while, people in the capital were panicked, and those who stood in line were naturally anxious, but those who didn't stand in line had to wait and see.

The reactions of Prince Zhongheng and Prince Lian after hearing the decree are naturally very interesting, but what is even more interesting is someone hiding in a certain village of the Lin family in the suburbs of Beijing...

When Ji Wen heard Lin Chen's report, she almost dropped the teacup in her hand, and hurriedly asked, "Why is it so early? Didn't we estimate that it would take about a month before Father Huang made up his mind?"

Lin Chen laughed at the end of tea, and replied slowly: "My lord, do you know how violent the capital city is these days for the establishment of the heir? You will come and go with your brothers like this. But after they had an accident, those two fought. Although they don't speak today, they know better than anyone else in their hearts. Otherwise, why did Concubine Yi act like that? Prince Zhongheng didn’t happen today?”

That's right, when the crown prince and Prince Yizhong were around, they would at most criticize each other, and they would never make a fuss about important matters related to the national economy and the people's livelihood in order to frame each other.However, one of these two princes is a diehard loyalist of the Daqiantui, and the other is a brother and brother with the prince all day long, but they did this kind of thing after the prince and Daqiantui lost power.Even today, he is stepping on his brother's bones, but it doesn't mean that he is willing to watch his sons kill each other.

Ji Wen also wanted to understand this truth, and sighed: "Father used to teach us in the past that Brother Wu Huang is honest and honest by nature, the most indisputable character, let us learn more from him and raise him up." Heart nature. His Highness the Crown Prince also treats him as one of his own, and treats him with sincerity, how could he have thought that he hides so deeply. And this Brother Seventh Emperor...but my eyesight is stupid, I never imagined that there is Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon beside me."

Lin Chen didn't know what the character of these princes was. Most of the time, in his eyes, these princes were just symbols, each corresponding to the Kowloon with different styles in that period of history. Their endings were already doomed, and he Just thinking about betting on someone is enough.

Therefore, he did not respond to Ji Wen's exclamation, but instead smiled and said: "It seems that Mr. Zhuang really has a clever plan. Fortunately, the prince came back early. Otherwise, if the date we estimated, I am afraid this trip will not be so smooth. It's just These days the capital is really not peaceful, even if the prince is back, he should be careful everywhere."

Ji Wen smiled and said: "If you have anything to say, just say it, what does it mean to beat around the bush! There is really no need to care about these between you and me."

Don't worry about it now, do you want to worry about it with me after you become the emperor?Lin Chen sneered in his heart, but he still replied with a smile: "Since the lord said so, I'll just say it straight. I really annoyed those two lords today, but I really don't want the one from Xian'an Palace to be like this." He escaped easily, and the old man simply let the courtiers openly choose the prince... What you mean, sir, is that after the prince returns to Beijing, it is better to live in secluded places, and it is best not to go to Xian'an Palace."

Ji Wen frowned fiercely, since he returned to the capital, even if he only wanted to look good, he should work hard for the prince.But what Mr. Zhuang meant was to let him ignore everything?Is it possible?Ji Wen was startled, and hurriedly looked at Lin Chen...

Lin Chen didn't expect this guy to figure it out on his own, so he shrugged helplessly and said, "As the lord thought, there are only a handful of people who recommended Xian'an Palace, but...half of the courtiers recommended His Royal Highness Prince Lianjun... Today The master has kept the notes in the middle, but no one dares to guess what the old man thinks..."

—————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————

After that, Lin Chen raised his eyebrows and remained silent, but in fact, he was more than half of the courtiers?Except for a few diehard loyalists of the imperial party, even some officials who clearly supported the fifth prince also signed the joint post. This time, the voice of Prince Lian was overwhelming.Maybe even Komamami never thought that his son, who has been hiding behind Da Chitose, could have such ability?It's just that this Prince Zhongheng is not really jealous, he would rather break his own arm than bring down Prince Lian...

However, the harder they fought and the more courtiers involved, the more beneficial they would be—they dared to make such a fuss while they were still alive today, isn't it clear that they wanted to die... Lin Chen was thinking this way, There was also a smile on his face.

When Ji Wen heard that, she was also shocked, after all, no one would have imagined that the inconspicuous Seventh Prince could have such abilities.Seeing that Lin Chen suddenly smiled again, he couldn't help asking: "Thanks to the current situation, you can still laugh! It's a pity that I can't go back now, otherwise I will..."

Lin Chen hurriedly interrupted him, and said seriously: "My lord is not fair, how can I not know? It's just that the situation is special now, and the sky is really unpredictable. It's better for the lord not to act rashly."

Didn't Ji Wen know his plan, so he couldn't help but smiled bitterly and said: "I understand what you mean, but you want me to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, so that I can be a profitable fisherman. It's just that you don't understand my father. Well, he is acting like this now, it is clear that he is determined to save my second brother, the prince. I have stayed with my second brother for more than seven years. If I go back, I will just shrink back and not even say a word for him. I'm afraid that the emperor just took care of those two, and it will be my turn next."

It's ridiculous to say that they are sons who are the same, but how different they are today. The prince can use his brother as a scapegoat at will, but if he dares to stand idly by the plight of this highness, he will definitely be punished. His father rebuked him for "disloyalty and disrespect".Besides, a "foolish, loyal and honest" prince can reassure him more, right?

Lin Chen couldn't help looking at Ji Wen again, thinking that after this time, the King of Dun County really improved a lot.But since it’s a show, you have to do enough tricks no matter what, take it back, isn’t it... Thinking of this, Lin Chen raised his head and smiled: "Your Majesty's opinion, there are many fools who can't do it. It's just that the road to the south of the Yangtze River is far away. , I think it will take more than a month to come back."

From Yangzhou to the capital, if it takes more than [-] days by water, but if you go fast, eleven or twelve days are enough.What's more, the imperial decree was issued in a hurry at eight hundred miles, and no matter how hard it was to go back and forth, it would not take a month.

But if the king of Dunjun who came back "quickly and quickly" did not arrive until a full month later, if he thinks about it, he will definitely find out that there is a traitor behind him.And this villain...except for His Royal Highness the "Wise King" who can command half of the court, he can't think of two people... Lin Chen's hand is really beautiful.

Ji Wen obviously also thought of this level, seeing the man in front of him who was unabashedly calculating in front of him (Xiao Ji Nai was thinking too much), a smile could not help but appear on the corner of his lips, he held up the tea in his hand and cooked it. With a gesture of toasting, he said with a smile: "I am worried about father and brother Antai in my heart. I set off immediately after receiving the decree, but I don't realize that it is still a bit late. This journey is hard and bumpy, and it is really not for outsiders. Also..." After finishing speaking, he also laughed, "Mr. Lin is really wise, Xuanche has learned from this..."

Lin Chen also raised his teacup and bowed from a distance, the two looked at each other and smiled, everything was kept silent...
