Film and TV: Traveling through countless worlds at the same time

It's time to have a good chat with Lin Xiang.

After Deng Ziyue left, he brought Lin Xiang into the study room.

Lin Xiang looked very old at this moment, as if he had aged more than ten years overnight.

There are white hairs at the temples.

After entering, Lin Xiang was the first to bow: "Greetings, Lord Lu."

Lu Xiao smiled faintly and said, "You are so polite, Minister Lin. Please take a seat."

After Lin Xiang slowly sat down, Lu Xiao continued to speak.

"Prime Minister Lin is here today because of your Excellency's matter, right?"

After hearing this, Lin Xiang immediately stood up and bowed to Lu Xiao again.

"Master Lu, please spare my son's life for my sake. The Lin family will be grateful."

The forest has a very low posture.

But there is no way around it.

Yesterday, after he and the Crown Prince entered the palace together, Emperor Qing was very firm in his stance. Lu Xiao was given full authority to decide the matter concerning Lin Gong, and no one else was allowed to interfere.

Lin Xiang, who was familiar with Emperor Qing's temper, immediately sensed a hint of fear in his tone.

That's right, Emperor Qing was wary of Lu Xiao, so he made this decision.

Minister Lin was puzzled as to why Emperor Qing was wary of Lu Xiao.

Of course, he also knew that a person who even Emperor Qing was wary of was definitely not someone he could convince with just his so-called face.

In order to rescue his son, he must pay a high enough price.

Between his son and power, he chose the former without any hesitation.

So he was ready to give it all.

There was no other way, Lin Gong was the only hope for the Lin family's future.

Unfortunately, even though his attitude was very humble, Lu Xiao still shook his head.

"No, Lin Gong must die. This is my bottom line. If this is all you want, Minister Lin, then please go back."

Lin Xiang was completely desperate.

The bottom line is to kill your own son, how can we talk about this?

"Lord Lu, Gong'er is my only hope. I just want him to live. For this, I can give anything. Even if from now on, my Lin family will respect you, Lord Lu, as their leader."

Boy, the stakes are really high.

But still no use.

Lu Xiao smiled and said, "Minister Lin, you still don't seem to understand the current situation."

"What do you mean?" Lin Xiang was puzzled.

Lu Xiao said, "Before the Crown Prince joined the game, I'm sure you saw the situation at court. If His Majesty had been serious about saving Lin Gong, he would never have allowed you to argue over this matter in court for so many days. Minister Lin, you've been an official for many years. Can't you clearly understand His Majesty's intentions?"

How could Lin Xiang not see it? He smiled bitterly.

"I know His Majesty is afraid of me."

Lu Xiao shook his head and said, "You are wrong, Prime Minister Lin. His Majesty is not afraid of you, but only of the power of the Prime Minister. For the Emperor, the Prime Minister's power is indeed too great. Sometimes he can even influence the Emperor's will and force him to make decisions he doesn't want to make. This is something our Majesty will never allow."

This time, Prime Minister Lin reacted quickly: "Your Majesty, do you want to abolish the position of Prime Minister?"

Lu Xiao asked, "What else? If not, why would Dean Chen have the Inspection Office fight you to the death in court?"

This is not a lie.

It's true that Chen Pingping avenged Fan Xian.

But at the same time, this was also Emperor Qing's way of testing Prime Minister Lin.

However, Chen Pingping was very resourceful and managed to combine these two things.

This was also his conspiracy against Emperor Qing.

Chen Pingping is well aware of Emperor Qing's methods.

So when facing Emperor Qing, he never resorted to conspiracy, only to overt schemes.

Chapter 146: Furious Lin Xiang

After hearing Lu Xiao's words, Lin Xiang's body softened and he fell onto the chair with a thud.

Your Majesty wants to depose the Prime Minister, and Lu Xiao wants to kill his son.

To be honest, he didn't see any hope at this moment.

After a long time, a hint of cruelty appeared in his eyes.

"Lord Lu, aren't you and His Majesty afraid that I might overturn the table?"

With the power in his hands, if he really resisted without hesitation, he could easily disrupt the entire court.

But after hearing what he said, Lu Xiao still chuckled.

"Minister Lin has misunderstood. Your Majesty and I have never been on the same page. He wants to depose the prime minister, and I just want to kill your son. These are two different things. And what I just said was not something he asked me to say. I just wanted to say it myself. So, do you think I care if you flip the table?"

Lin Xiang was so smart that he immediately understood the deep meaning behind Lu Xiao's words.

But there was one thing he still couldn't figure out.

So he asked, "Lord Lu, could you please tell me why you insisted on killing my son? If I remember correctly, there should be no hatred between you two."

Lu Xiao nodded. "There's really no grudge. If you want to blame someone, you can only blame your son for just catching up. I just took over as the director of a certain department and happened to be lacking a warning. Your son took the initiative to step forward at this time. Don't blame me."

Lin Xiang forced himself to suppress the urge to punch Lu Xiao.

He never thought that this would be the reason.

"With so many people in the court, Lord Lu, do you have to choose my son as the chicken?"

Lin Xiang felt aggrieved.

He is the prime minister of a country.

But now my son is being treated like a prostitute.

What a ridiculous thing this is.

Lu Xiao said, "I have no choice. Most of the other chickens aren't as heavy as your son, so they won't be able to intimidate many people. And the ones that are heavier than your son are either crown princes or princes. It's really difficult to kill them right now, so I have to let you, my dear son, do it."

"Haha, Lord Lu is so arrogant."

Lin Xiang was so angry that he laughed.

Lu Xiao said, "It's not that I'm being arrogant. I'm sure you, Minister Lin, have already suspected something since you left the palace last night. I dare to say this because I have my own confidence. So, I'm telling the truth. Let alone your son, even if I really killed a prince right now, Your Majesty would grit his teeth and bear it. The price of killing me is more than our Majesty can bear. It's just that I don't want to do it."

This time, Lin Xiang finally realized that he couldn't understand Lu Xiao's thoughts at all.

Although every word sounded extremely treasonous, Lu Xiao spoke it very casually.

It was so casual that it seemed like he was stating a very simple fact.

What kind of confidence does he have?

Lin Xiang really couldn't understand.

But there was one thing he could confirm.

Lu Xiao will definitely not let his son go today.

Therefore, Lin Xiang said without hesitation: "In that case, it seems that there is really nothing to discuss between us."

He had already decided in his heart that no matter what Lu Xiao's trump card was, he would make Lu Xiao pay the price after his son's death.

But just as he stood up and prepared to leave, Lu Xiao suddenly said.

"Wait, Minister Lin, who said we have nothing to discuss? I don't think so."

Lin Xiang stopped walking for a moment, then turned around and looked.

"What do you mean?"

Lu Xiao said, "I think you, Prime Minister Lin, are now ready to fight to the death with me, Lu. However, I still want to advise you. You have more than just Lin Gong. I personally admire you. People outside say you are a treacherous prime minister, but I know that what you have done for the court over the years can truly be described as caring for the country and the people. If it weren't for you, the injustice in the court would probably be several times greater. So I don't want you to make the wrong decision. Some decisions, once made, can't be undone. In the end, which is more important, Lin Gong or the Lin family? You should know better than anyone else."

Lin Xiang was silent for a moment, then said, "Are you threatening me?"

Lu Xiao said, "Hehe, don't misunderstand. I was just giving you a gentle reminder, not a threat."

The moment the words fell, Xiao released all of his aura.

The aura that was comparable to that of a Grandmaster directly pressed towards Lin Xiang.

Lin Xiang was unable to move at once.

Even under this breath, his body couldn't help but want to kneel on the ground.

Fortunately, he had a strong mind, otherwise he would have really fallen to his knees.

But even so, his bones could no longer help but creak.

Only then did Lu Xiao continue to speak slowly: "This is a threat!"

After he finished speaking, he retracted his momentum.

At this moment, Lin Xiang's entire back was wet.

"You, you, you are the Grandmaster?"

I have seen the martial arts master Lin Xiang before.

But even a ninth-rank master couldn't possibly emit such a powerful aura.

I see.

No wonder His Majesty compromised.

Everything makes sense.

A Grandmaster can defeat an entire nation.

A Grand Master naturally has the same qualifications to talk to His Majesty.

Lu Xiao said calmly, "That's about right."

Although he wasn't a Grandmaster yet, he was already qualified to fight against a Grandmaster, so if you really wanted to count him, it wouldn't be a big deal.

After being shocked, Lin Xiang reacted quickly and said immediately.

"I understand. Lin Gong deserves to die. This matter ends here."

If a Grandmaster wants to kill someone, no one can stop him except the same Grandmaster.

There's no need to talk about revenge anymore.

How dare you?

But then Lu Xiao said, "Minister Lin, you're really impatient. I haven't finished what I'm saying yet. Although Lin Gong is doomed to die, there's still room for discussion between us."

"Ah? What else are we talking about?" asked Lin Xiang.

My son is destined to die, there is really nothing to talk about.

Lu Xiao said, "I heard that your eldest son, Minister Lin, suffered a serious illness in his childhood. After recovering, his intelligence was impaired. Even now, he is like a four or five-year-old child. That's why you placed all your hopes on your second son."

"Master Lu, why do you have to bear my pain?" Lin Xiang said.

Lu Xiao said, "Minister Lin, you misunderstood. I'm not trying to expose your pain. I just wanted to say that sons can be born again. Honestly, Lin Gong's character is truly terrible. Even if he dies, you don't have to be too heartbroken. At most, you can just have another son."

If you're done practicing the big trumpet, you can definitely practice the small trumpet.

Lin Xiang said, "Master Lu, please stop joking with me. Although I may not be as noble as you, the Grand Master, I still have my dignity. You keep teasing me again and again. Is that fun?"

Lin Xiang was really angry.

He never imagined that one day he would end up in such a miserable state.

Lu Xiao said sincerely, "Prime Minister Lin, I'm not teasing you."

"I haven't teased you yet. I'm almost fifty. How can I give birth to a son?"

Lin Xiang finally couldn't help but burst out, his voice as loud as a groundhog.
