"I have reserved a place on the top floor of the Wangfeng Building in the south of the city today. It is the place with the best view in Jingling City. My brothers and sisters, please let everyone come with me. I have also invited a lot of noble ladies.
Let’s go together, and we will gather together to have good food, drink, and talk, and we will be able to watch the lantern festival at night.”
Tang Yulan suppressed her dissatisfaction and urged her to go out with a smile on her face.
"Thank you so much, Mrs. Wang."
Chu Nanzhi remembered that Wangfeng Tower was not far from Chaoguang Gate, so it was convenient for her to hold a banquet here.
So he immediately asked Abi and Achun to ask Liu Yun and Er Lao to take the five little guys out of the house, arrange the carriage, and go straight to the watchtower.
Qinghe Prince's Mansion in the middle of the capital was unusually quiet today, and there seemed to be no festive atmosphere at all.
Lin Jinke was sitting in the living room. Not long after, he heard a servant come in and report: "Your Highness, King Beibin has arrived."
"Please."
Lin Jinke stood up happily and walked to the door to greet him.
When the two met, Lin Tingyan couldn't wait to ask: "How is it? Has Jin Ke arranged everything?"
"Uncle Sixth Emperor, don't worry. Nothing will go wrong with me."
Lin Jinke's eyebrows stretched, and he smiled proudly in the spring breeze: "All the fifty thousand members of the Tang family are waiting in the west and north of the city, only more than ten miles away from where our Qinghe Iron Cavalry is stationed. They are at an angle to each other. They are just waiting for me to say
With this order, you can enter Jinling City directly."
After thinking for a while, he looked at Lin Tingyan with concern: "It's because the queen mother didn't want me to directly attack the emperor's brother, so she only asked me to lead the army to frighten the courtiers. This makes me feel embarrassed."
"The Queen Mother is too kind to a woman after all."
Lin Tingyan earnestly advised: "Jin Ke, this opportunity must not be missed before it comes again. Now is a great opportunity for you to make achievements. Don't miss it. You and I both know the whole story of what happened in Pingning Prefecture. When the imperial envoys come back,
Not only will Jin Xiao’s life experience be revealed, I’m afraid even you, the mastermind, will be exposed.”
"Uncle Sixth Emperor, you can rest assured, the consort will definitely not betray me."
Lin Jinke said swornly.
"Even so, can you ensure that our ancestors will not persuade His Majesty to immediately make Jin Xiao the crown prince?"
Seeing that he was hesitant again, Lin Tingyan scolded him with dissatisfaction: "Do you want to sit back and wait for death? No one will sympathize with you then. Don't take chances. Once Ji Rongheng relaxes, it will be easy for Jin Xiao to enter the capital."
It’s about that.”
"According to the emperor's opinion, what should we do?"
Lin Jinke asked hesitantly.
"Of course I will take over Jinling City immediately, control the entire palace, capture Nan Zhi mother and son tonight, use this as a threat, and then accuse our ancestors and His Majesty of deliberately protecting King Pingning."
Lin Tingyan said with a cold smile: "I have sent people to intercept and kill the imperial envoys heading to Pingning Prefecture on the way. Then all we have to do is divert the trouble to Jin Xiao, and I also sent a message to Shita City in the past two days.
, let Xie Jingzhan of Baiyu Kingdom send troops, and he will intercept Prince Xie's return to the country. Once you control the situation in Jingling City, you can send troops to pacify Ningzhou in the name of revenge for Princess Yuanxi."
"Prince Xie has disappeared for some time. I have been worried that he would secretly return to Baiyu Kingdom."
Lin Jinke frowned and clenched his fists: "If I have 300,000 Qinghe cavalry in hand, I could have entered Jingling City in an open and honest manner. I have long wanted to give Prince Ping Ning a good fight and let him
He has seen the majesty of my Qinghe Iron Cavalry, so he would not dare to compete with me, and using these shameful methods is really not what a gentleman would do."
"What time has it been? Jin Ke, you are still showing off your power."
Lin Tingyan reluctantly advised: "Even if you have 300,000 cavalry, if you cannot stabilize the situation in Jinling City immediately, how can you ensure that the Rongdi tribe does not launch a large-scale attack at this time?"
"They just want money, food, silk and cloth. At worst, I will cede the area north of Hanzhou to them, which will save me the need to send heavy troops for defense."
Lin Jinke snorted disdainfully: "Send some more gold and silver beauties to make them happy for a while, and then I will take them back after I have stabilized the situation."
"You are so confused. How can you give up the inheritance of your ancestors?"
Lin Tingyan did not expect that this guy would take the inheritance of his ancestors so lightly, and sighed: "Rong Di is a greedy wolf. If you give it to Hanzhou, they will only become more ambitious. At present, Jinling City's military strength is weak, and the three major battalions are still weak.
There will be time to replenish it in the future, and the 80,000 elites in your hands will be enough to take over Jinling City. Although my idea is a little shady, it is a once and for all solution."
After a pause, he persuaded with sincerity: "As the old saying goes, when people see the light of your success, they will forget the darkness of your methods. How can this royal struggle for the crown have an upright path? If you want
I'm afraid it will be impossible for me to inherit the throne in a right and just manner in this life."
After hearing what he said, Lin Jinke finally stopped hesitating and replied resolutely: "Just listen to your uncle, I will personally lead the troops into the city tonight."
"That's pretty much it."
Lin Tingyan nodded with satisfaction, then left.
However, after coming out of Prince Qinghe's Mansion, he did not return to the Mansion. Instead, he went to the palace and appeared in Zhaochun Palace.
Yin Enci was currently worried about his grandson's daughter-in-law's family leaving Beijing, and was discussing with Lin Jinshu how to ensure that mother and son returned to Luyan Port smoothly.
Hearing that Lin Tingyan had come, he led Lin Jinshu to the front hall, sat down, and calmly stared at this invisible concubine, and asked slowly: "Why does Lao Liu, who is celebrating the festival, want to come to the palace?
Are you here to visit the Ai family?"
"The court will resume tomorrow. Recently, I have noticed that there are secret gatherings of Tang family tribes everywhere in the suburbs of Beijing. I am worried that something will happen, so I went to the palace to secretly report to my mother."
Lin Tingyan pretended to be worried.
Yin Enci and Lin Jinshu looked at each other. They had already expected that the barbarian Lin Jinke would make some changes after the restoration of the dynasty. This was the day he had been waiting for, so he pretended to be surprised and asked: "According to King Beibin, Qinghe
What does the king want?"
"I'm afraid that I want to take advantage of the situation to force her into the palace."
Lin Tingyan said solemnly: "The incident involving King Nandu has only been over for more than a month, and the queen mother has to guard against it."
"He has a lot of troops. If he really wants to rebel, the Ai family really can't do anything to him."
Yin Enci sighed helplessly.
"My son, I have a way."
Lin Tingyan suddenly knelt down and begged sincerely: "Please my ancestors take back their orders, keep Princess Pingning, mother and son, and declare that King Pingning will personally escort the Tang Prince Consort and Princess Qian and the other criminals to Beijing for confrontation. This will extinguish the pain in the hearts of King Qinghe and the Queen Mother."
Angry, he cares about the brotherhood with His Majesty, and will also care about the Rongdi tribe, so he will not make any changes."
"Uncle Sixth Emperor is really good at planning."
Lin Jinshu looked at Lin Tingyan with resentment and sneered: "Wouldn't this be in line with King Qinghe's wishes? If brother Jinxiao comes to Beijing at this time, can he return safely?"
