The reason why Lin Tingchen invested in Prince Jing's Mansion was actually because of Wu Lun's recommendation.
When they were in Chengdu, the two got along well with each other under Wu Lun's deliberate friendship.
After Wu Lun came to Beijing, he fought with Wu Jie for a while. At first, Lin Tingchen knew how powerful Wu Jie was, so he refused Wu Lun's solicitation and became his official.
Later, Wu Lun committed suicide in the examination room because he was implicated in the examination fraud case.
After Lin Tingchen learned the news, he suddenly broke out in a cold sweat, thinking that he was lucky that he didn't go against Wu Jie. Otherwise, as Wu Jie is currently the number one scholar and a close minister of the emperor, it will not be easy for him to pinch himself to death.
After coming down, he was still afraid for a few days.
The following days were naturally uneventful. At first, he thought that relying on his own ability, he would be able to make a name for himself in the officialdom. Although I was not a Jinshi, but with my cousin Lin Zhifu and my status as a member of the Lu Bing family, how could others give me some face?
But it¡¯s unknown. Since Lu Bing¡¯s house was ransacked, as Lu Gong¡¯s disciple, Lin Zhifu¡¯s hat has also been removed.
As a result, Lin Tingchen¡¯s life became difficult.
In the past two years, he has been ostracized in the yamen. If nothing happens, if he works for another two years, he will be driven back to his hometown in Guizhou as soon as his term expires.
Thinking of this, he was unwilling to give in again. It happened that Wu Jie was sent to the southeast by the imperial court at this time, not in Beijing.
It has to be said that the existence of Wu Jie put a lot of pressure on Lin Tingchen. Although in Wu Jie's mind, Lin Tingchen was not a rival at all, Lin Tingchen had an inexplicable fear of him. It's as if this person can't talk or act randomly even if he's in Beijing for one day.
He thought, rather than just hang out like this and then go back to his hometown in despair. Might as well give it a try. Take refuge with a big shot with a good background.
So, he thought of Prince Jing and went to Prince Jing¡¯s Mansion with the letter of recommendation that Wu Lun had written for him.
It has been almost two years since Wu Lun died. King Jing still remembered this person. When he saw the letter, he knew that Lin Tingchen was an official of the sixth rank. He was happy in his heart, he was Han Xin's pointer, the more soldiers the better, so he was happy to take him under his sect.
In more than half a year, Lin Tingchen still showed his abilities and won the trust of King Jing.
He was also proud of himself. He always regarded himself as King Jing's confidant and wanted to have a hand in everything.
Today, I was made drunk by Mr. Xiao Ge and others and kicked aside. Naturally, I was very angry. We are also more vigilant.
He didn¡¯t open his eyes at the moment, just listened with his ears straight up.
Hearing Yan Shifan¡¯s rebuttal, Hu Yuanyu was also a arrogant person. Suddenly he was a little unhappy: "Mr. Xiaoge, it's meaningless for you to say this. Since everyone has decided to support King Jing as our master, we must let him take the lead. In the future, this country will belong to his King Jing. The prince will always come up with it. With a little effort and a little risk, is it possible to just sit back and reap the rewards?¡±
Yan Shifan sneered even louder: "The world is a world of people, not a world of one family. In ancient times, there was a saying that the emperor ruled the world from the prime minister's palace. At that time, the court did not have a prime minister, but in this world, the emperor and the scholar-bureaucrats ruled the world. Governance. The prince has a share, and we officials must also have a share. Otherwise, how could the imperial court give the power of drafting votes to the cabinet and the power of wearing red to the ceremonial supervisor? If there is only one family with one surname, the emperor will draft the votes and I¡¯ve already taken the red hat to my own hands, so why bother?¡±
Xu Wei¡¯s voice was full of approval: ¡°What Mr. Xiaoge said is right.¡±
Yan Shifan continued: "What's the use of having too many people taking responsibility?"
Hu Yuanyu snorted and said nothing.
Xu Wenchang saw that something was not right in the atmosphere and persuaded him: "Don't be upset, Mr. Hu. Aren't we discussing important matters? Mr. Ding, the old man in the small pavilion, is worried. Three years later, I don't know what the situation will be like. I'm afraid I won't be able to wait for this." Three years. Now is not just a time to be angry, but to prepare for a rainy day and make some plans for the future."
"Plan, what are you planning?" Hu Yuanyu was still angry: "I'm afraid the situation will change drastically if I can't wait three years. Wanzai's body is getting worse day by day. It's good to be able to survive for two years."
"What!" Yan Shifan and Xu Wenchang shouted at the same time.
Lin Tingchen, who was lying on the ground, was also horrified, and his body trembled invisibly.
Xu Wei said: "The day before yesterday, I heard from King Jing that His Majesty vomited blood, and it is estimated that the dragon's body is not in good condition. Today, the old man of the small pavilion, Ding You, returned to his hometown, so he rushed over to discuss a countermeasure. I originally thought it was just a mistake, but I didn't want it to be serious like this. degree."
Yan Shifan: "Your Majesty is sixty years old, but there is not a single wrinkle on his face, his hair and beard are black, and he looksWhy can't Lailongti Health be successful? "
Hu Yuanyu snorted: "This is the most deceptive thing about elixirs. To be honest, taking a small amount of the elixir can indeed strengthen the body. But this thing squeezes people's vitality. The more you take, the less vitality you will have." The elixir my father first prepared is usually taken one pill every three days, but your majesty took advantage of it and took three pills a day. Will your body be able to withstand it if you take it like this? A few days ago, your majesty wanted to increase the dosage. My father knew Eating like this will kill people. After talking for a long time, I let Your Majesty give up. However, Your Majesty's dragon body has completely decayed. Not to mention the path to immortality, if you take good care of it, you will only live three or two more years. This is what I am calling today. The reason why you came here is actually what my father meant. I want Mr. Xiaoge to be aware of the situation before leaving the capital so that he can prepare in advance."
This has been said. Since Jiajing still has two or three years to live, once he dies, the court will not know what kind of chaos it will become.
Lin Tingchen didn't care about pretending to be asleep at the moment, secretly opened his eyes and looked over.
I saw Xu Wei and Mr. Xiao Ge take a breath of air at the same time and didn't speak for a long time.
After a long time, Yan Shifan asked: "Chang Wen, what's going on with Chen Hong?"
Xu Wei: "It has been agreed that if King Jing ascends the throne in the future, he will be allowed to serve as the Chief of Ceremonies and the Eunuch. Now, the entire ban is controlled by Chen Hong."
Yan Shifan took a few more steps with his hands behind his back: "That's good. The defense of the capital is all in the hands of Zhu Xizhong. Can this person fight for it?"
Xu Wei shook his head: "I'm afraid it's difficult. This person is a high-ranking official. He had never been an official before he was appointed as the commander of the Jinyi Guards. However, he was suddenly promoted to this crucial position two years ago. In fact, Duke Cheng Guo is not Belonging to any faction in the court, he is a long-lived person."
"You can still fight for it, but if it doesn't work, let him remain neutral."
Xu Wei: "It should be possible. He finally got such an important position, and he will definitely not take sides easily. When that day comes, he may not take any action, as long as he remains silent."
Mr. Xiaoge: "If Zhu Xizhong can't win over him, I won't care. But Chen Hong makes me very worried."
Hu Yuanyu seemed to have a good feeling for Chen Hong, and was immediately puzzled: "Mr. Xiao Ge, I think Chen Hong is very good, and he is also good to people. Whenever I come to him for anything, he is willing to help. "
Yan Shifan sneered: "He is treating you, Taoist Master Hu, who are you? You and Shenxian Hu are the closest people to His Majesty, and it is too late for others to fawn over you. If you ask him for something, don't you dare not help. If you don't believe it, Try it with an ordinary person and see if he buys it?"
Hu Yuanyu: "That's the truth."
Xu Wei frowned and thought for a while: "What Mr. Xiaoge said is that Chen Hong is a eunuch and a villain. As the saying goes, a gentleman treats others with righteousness, and a villain acts with benefit. In the minds of villains, there is always only one The word is powerful. If something happens, I'm afraid this person will have to weigh how powerful he is, and he may not be willing to be of the same mind as you and me."
He took a breath and said: "What Chen Hong only hoped for was the position of eunuch in charge of the ceremony. Now that he has defeated Huang Jin, he alone has the final say. If one day We have gained the favor of Long Live and allowed him to serve as the palm eunuch. Our goal has been achieved. If we really want him to take the risk with us, I'm afraid we won't be willing to do it. And once this happens, he will already be inferior to one person and superior to ten thousand people. What else can King Jing give him?"
"If it were him, I would definitely be watching the fun with my arms folded. Anyway, no matter who takes the throne in the future, he will always be used."
"Ah!" Hu Yuanyu finally understood and couldn't help but screamed: "This, this, this, what to do, he has the final say. If Chen Hong has other intentions, once things happen, he will If you fight back, we will all die without a burial ground!"
"So" Xu Wei pondered for a moment, and then sighed: "Forget it, I'd better not say anything."
Hu Yuanyu: "Mr. Wen Chang, if you have something to say, please tell me, don't make people's appetites."
Xu Wei couldn¡¯t help but shake his head, with a sad look on his face.
Yan Shifan gritted his teeth grimly and said: "Wen Chang is a gentleman, and there are some things he doesn't want to say. In fact, we are all our own people, so there is no harm in saying this. Therefore, Chen Hong's vacillation must be eliminated. In the end, Chen Hong must be eliminated. A good way is"
The cold words seeped out from the gap between the teeth. Although they were not loud, they were clearly audible: "It would be best if your Majesty can do well before the year."
"Ah!" Hu Yuanyu's body trembled and he jumped up suddenly.
Yan Shifan said: "Didn't Master Hu just say that His Majesty still has two or three years to live and should take three pills a day? As a minister, he wants to take the elixir and seek the path to immortality. You just try your best to cooperate, so why bother talking too much?" Useless words.?It is said that it is difficult to disobey your orders. "
"This, this, this" Hu Yuanyu was so shocked that he was covered in cold sweat. He immediately understood that Yan Shifan was asking him and his father to supply the elixirs so that the emperor could die from the elixirs.
This is the crime of regicide, and it is meant to punish the nine tribes!
"Why, does Master Hu have a different opinion?" Yan Shifan said coldly: "I have finished speaking. Who agrees and who opposes?"
"No, no, no." Hu Yuanyu was still trembling.
Xu Wei sighed, tears welling up in his eyes: "Xu Wei was favored by Mr. Hu, and he thought about it day and night to save him from prison. For the sake of the country, the country, and the dawn of the world, he would never regret it even if he died. Mr. Hu, there is one thing You probably don¡¯t know yet, but Xu Wei will just tell you today.¡±
