Chapter 221: Plotting to Usurp the Throne 1
In fact, it is not difficult for everyone to communicate, but the most difficult part has appeared.
It is quite difficult for Lin Han to deal with his father.
Lin Xuan is an old minister who has followed the emperor for many years, and he has always respected the emperor's decisions.
The emperor hasn't even said to whom he'll pass the throne?
He never expected that his son-in-law would be the first to attempt to usurp the throne.
At the beginning, when Lin Han proposed this idea and wanted Lin Xuan to join him in the rebellion, Lin Xuan slapped Lin Han in the face.
Lin Han also knew that his father was not an easy person to talk to.
Then following the slap, he fell to the ground.
Lin Han is not a fool. He knows that his father loves him the most, so this kind of self-torture trick has some effect.
Sure enough, when Lin Han fell to the ground and cried bitterly.
Lin Xuan's face was full of worry.
Lin Xuan even began to regret hitting Lin Han.
Lin Xuan was still thinking silently in his heart: Lin Han is now married to the fifth prince, so naturally her husband will become the emperor.
She just came back to make a suggestion, how could this be!
I actually hit her!
Lin Xuan helped Lin Han up, and then said apologetically: "Han'er, you are still pregnant, you shouldn't be involved in such things, do you know?
This kind of thing is detrimental to one's virtue.
Your baby isn't born yet.
Is the Emperor your child’s grandfather?
If he plots to usurp the throne, he must die.
Aren’t you committing a sin?”
Lin Han looked at his father with some despair. He knew that his self-torture strategy had worked.
Lin Han said aggrievedly: "Father, I know that this is detrimental to my virtue.
But who doesn’t want their children to live a good life?
Now I am pregnant with the fifth prince's child.
Of course I want my prince to become the emperor, and then my child will be the crown prince in the future.
Between damaging one's own virtue and bringing benefits to my children, I choose the latter.
Since ancient times, the throne has always been passed down to the eldest son rather than the youngest.
For the current Fifth Prince, it is basically impossible to wait for the Emperor to make the announcement.
Besides, the fifth prince had angered the emperor in the past.
The daughter knew that her father was a loyal minister.
But father, I am your daughter. A daughter also wants to be protected by her father!"
After listening to this, Lin Xuan said nothing and asked his servants to take Lin Han away to rest.
Lin Xuan knew that plotting to usurp the throne was no small matter, and he had seen Wen Yiheng before.
If Wen Yiheng had become the emperor just now, it would have been a disaster for the whole world.
Wen Yiheng has neither the talent to govern the country nor the compassion.
If he becomes the ruler, the Dayun Dynasty will probably be in chaos.
Lin Xuan hurried out at night.
At night, the cuckoo kept calling. Lin Xuan knocked on the door, and the sound of the door kept ringing.
The servants opened the door, saw Lin Xuan, and immediately invited Lin Xuan into the house.
The servant hurried into the room and called Chen Meng out.
When Chen Meng heard that it was his future father-in-law who came, he knew it was no small matter.
Chen Meng immediately put on his clothes and came out to greet Lin Xuan.
Lin Xuan followed Chen Meng into the study.
Lin Xuan had a stern face all the way. What happened today was really hard for him to accept.
Lin Xuan wanted to discuss it with his colleagues, but when he thought about the expressions on his colleagues' faces when they saw him looking so glorious.
Lin Xuan was afraid that if he told his colleagues, he would lose more than he gained, so he came to find Chen Meng.
After Chen Meng brought Lin Xuan to the study, he immediately asked the servants to light the fire in the stove.
Before Lin Xuan could speak, Chen Meng spoke first: "Master Lin, no matter what happened.
Let's warm up first. It's been quite cold along the way. Lord Lin, you are old and you are wearing thin clothes.
So just warm yourself up first, and then we can talk about these things.
I know that Lord Lin came here so late, he must have something important to discuss.
But nothing is more important than your body.”
Lin Xuan was indeed a little cold.
Lin Xuan rode all the way here on horseback. This matter was too important and secretive.
So he had to do this alone.
Lin Xuan roasted himself for a while until his body was warm.
Then he began to speak seriously: "Wen Yiheng and his men are planning to usurp the throne!
Let me cooperate with them. But I don't want to.
My daughter started to use the family tactic.
After all, she is my daughter and she is pregnant with my grandson.
What should I do? "
Chen Meng was not that surprised.
Before Wen Yichen left, he came to see Chen Meng one night.
Wen Yichen once told Chen Meng: "Brother Chen, I will go to the border in a few days.
I'm leaving the court matters to you.
Wen Yiheng is not a law-abiding person.
The current court is probably still in his hands.
He will definitely take advantage of our absence to usurp the throne.
I will try my best to finish the things over there and then come back.
Maybe I won't be able to make it in time. Then I'll have to trouble you.
It is possible that Lin Xuan will also be affected.
After all, his daughter was married to Wen Yiheng. No matter what, she would ask him for help.
Thank you for keeping an eye on it.
If I don’t receive any news during this period, that will be the best news.”
At that time, Chen Meng thought that Wen Yichen might be thinking too much.
Now that Lin Xuan came to me, I realized that these were not unnecessary worries, but real things.
Before leaving, Wen Yichen told Chen Meng how to deal with the matter if Lin Xuan came.
Chen Meng looked at Lin Xuan's furrowed brows and knew how embarrassed Lin Xuan was in this situation.
Chen Meng looked at Lin Xuan and said reluctantly: "Daughters are important. But this world is the world of daughters and sons.
If Wen Yiheng came to power, I'm afraid all the children in the world would be homeless.
I know you love your daughter. As an elder, you should love your own child.
But as officials appointed by the imperial court, we should protect our world even more!
Didn't we secretly investigate clearly what Wen Yiheng and his mother did?
Moreover, the war situation at the border was tense and food and fodder had not been transported there yet.
It’s all Wen Yiheng’s fault!
Lord Lin! You have a daughter! But you have more than one daughter!
You still have the glory of the entire Lin family!
You have to think clearly about how your heart has gone astray!"
Lin Xuan shook his head frantically and said with great sorrow: "I know this too. This is also the reason why I came to see you today.
I don't want him to take office either. But if Wen Yiheng wants to launch a coup now, I can do nothing about it!
Although the eldest prince's family is powerful, Wen Yiheng has also trained a new group of people to take up their posts recently!
Wen Yiheng also has some people following him in this court.
If we rely solely on the eldest prince, I'm afraid we really won't be able to eradicate all these things.
The third prince hasn't come back yet. When he comes back, he will fight.
I am afraid that if I don't follow them, they will launch a coup.
We have become completely powerless!
You can't be passive.
The emperor is in poor health right now, so what should we do to be the best? "
Lin Xuan's words brought Chen Meng out of his recollections.
Chen Meng is not a fool, he had expected this situation!
Chen Meng looked at Lin Xuan and said slowly: "We can also pretend to surrender and deeply participate in their cooperation.
What should I do if I plot this matter in the end?
The third prince has gone to the border, but he will be able to come back!
There is no news at the moment, and this is the best news.
I'll send someone to inquire more.
Everyone in the court was watching the development of the political situation with eager eyes.
As for what it will become in the end, that will change under our leadership.
Pretending to surrender is our best way out!"
Lin Xuan actually once thought about pretending to surrender, but there was no one around him he could trust.
Chen Meng has always been someone he trusts, so naturally he is willing for the two of them to cooperate with each other.
The burden of this country rests on the shoulders of these two people.
During this period, the emperor has been coughing up blood when he was in court. Judging from the situation, he may not be able to hold on for much longer.
During this period, Wang Chun secretly reviewed all the memorials for him, and he almost lay in bed after court.
Wen Yihong also went to see him often, but every time he went, the emperor was asleep.
Originally, the emperor wanted Wen Yihong to review the memorials.
However, Wen Yihong has been very busy dealing with border affairs recently.
The emperor didn't want the news of his serious illness to spread more and more, so he had to suppress it himself.
Under such circumstances, Wang Chun could only review memorials on behalf of the emperor.
Wang Chun has been a good student since childhood and has his own opinions on politics.
Wang Chun was also very adept at handling memorials.
Every time the emperor came to Wang Chun's bedroom, he lay down by himself, probably because he was too tired.
The emperor didn't want to see those memorials anymore.
At the beginning, the emperor was also quite worried and did not trust Wang Chun to be able to review memorials.
Once, the emperor kept frowning. Wang Chun knew something was wrong and immediately asked the emperor what was wrong.
The emperor also explained himself: I feel annoyed when I read these memorials from these people.
These are obviously just some trivial matters, but you still want me to argue about them.
The memorials are piling up more and more, and it's really annoying to look at them.
Wang Chun picked up the memorial and took a look at it. He didn't expect that it was about the official's own family affairs.
The official himself felt that he was clearly right in this matter.
But his wife kept refuting him.
So he was very troubled and asked the emperor to judge the matter.
Wang Chun also thought that the emperor was so busy and should be dealing with national affairs, but he didn't expect that he would have to deal with such matters.
Wang Chun thought of a way and comforted the emperor: "These memorials are nothing serious.
It would be better to find someone to sort them out later. All the memorials on trivial matters can be put aside.
Prioritize national affairs. As for these matters, find relevant officials and let them handle them.
This way we can be more efficient.”
The emperor had also thought of this method, but he was afraid that someone would interfere during the screening process.
If someone takes advantage of the loophole, it will not be a good thing.
