After reading the imperial edict, Lin Jie's face instantly turned pale.
In the imperial edict, Li Shimin gave Lin Jie the right to act expeditiously. No matter what happened in Yizhou, he could kill it first and report it later.
After seeing this imperial edict, why didn't Lin Jie understand it?
The emperor no longer trusted him, Lin Jie, and directly gave this secret decree to the King of Shu without going through any court discussions.
The emperor's secret decree is probably to ask the King of Shu to purge the entire Yizhou, right?
This must be a tacit cooperation between the emperor and the king of Shu, which directly skipped the court discussion process.
If it had gone through the court's discussion, the content of the court's discussion would have reached his ears long ago.
I will also prepare various countermeasures in advance.
It won't be as passive as it is now.
It seems that the emperor has decided to attack the entire Yizhou.
But, if this is the case, what is their attitude towards themselves?
Could it be that they have no intention of taking down themselves?
If he really wanted to capture him, how could the Grand Governor show him the secret decree?
However, what I did in Yizhou cannot be concealed in paper, and it will eventually be found out!
For a moment, Lin Jie's face changed drastically and he was confused.
Lin Jie respectfully returned the secret order to Li Min with both hands, and said respectfully: "I have sent you to Meng Lang. If there is anything that the governor needs to cooperate with, I will do my best. If the governor has nothing to say, I will do my best."
The officer will retire first."
Li Min waved his hand, and Lin Jie cautiously withdrew.
After Lin Jue left, Xue Rengui couldn't help but whisper: "Your Highness, if I show the secret decree to Lin Jue now, will it alert the enemy? Should I take him down directly now?"
Li Min waved his hand and said: "Lin Jie is the governor of a state after all. He can only deal with these county magistrates, but this method cannot be used on him! Otherwise, it will inevitably lead to the impeachment of most civil servants, even if the father is not
, it doesn’t end well either.”
Xue Rengui asked in a low voice: "Then the purpose of Your Highness showing him the secret edict is to frighten the enemy?"
Li Min nodded and said: "Yizhou is rotten from the roots. Now it is time to break and stand up again to uproot these silverfish. I am not willing to accompany them to continue to consume. They can afford it, and Yizhou
The people of the state can’t afford it! Now, I’m just waiting for Lin Jie to jump out and catch them all in one fell swoop!”
"Ren Gui, you immediately send people to secretly keep an eye on Lin Jie. See who Lin Jie comes into contact with in the past few days. You must keep a close eye on him. If he dares to jump out, he will be arrested immediately."
Xue Rengui clasped his fists and said, "Yes, Your Highness, I will send someone to do it right away."
…
But when Lin Jie left the Lingchi County Government, the panic in his heart grew like weeds.
This King of Shu is really a ruthless man!
I had overestimated him as much as possible, but unexpectedly, I still seriously underestimated him.
This is a character who can turn his hands into clouds and turn his hands into rain!
What he did in Yizhou has made it impossible for him to escape unscathed.
If that's the case, then just go crazy!
Li Min, kid, you forced me to do this!
Since you don't give me a way to survive, don't blame me for dragging you to hell!
Along the way, Lin Zhi's expression was ferocious and terrifying.
A vicious idea was quickly established in his mind.
After returning to the Governor's Mansion, Lin Jie immediately called all three of his confidants over.
Not long after, Dong Bosen, the chief minister, Chu Xiaotian, and Sima Hu Jun all appeared in Lin Jue's study.
When the three people came in, Lin Jie stood up and bowed deeply to them.
The three of them were all startled and hurriedly avoided returning the gift. At the same time, they said in panic: "President Lin, what are you doing? How can I bear your great gift?"
Lin Jie couldn't help but sigh and said, "How do you think I, Mr. Lin, usually treat you?"
Dong Bosen patted his chest and said: "President Lin, you have been kind to us. Without Governor Lin, we would not be where we are today!"
Chu Xiaotian and Hu Jun also nodded in agreement.
Lin Jie continued: "Everyone, now we are at a critical moment of life and death. The King of Shu, Li Min, wants to put us to death! The emperor has issued a secret decree to let the King of Shu do things easily. Now the King of Shu has taken over two counties.
The county magistrate is targeting us directly!"
Hearing Lin Jie's words, the three of them couldn't help but take a deep breath.
What these people did following Lin Jie, one after another, if they were all taken out, it would be enough to chop their heads off a hundred times.
If the emperor is determined to hold them accountable for their crimes, they will all be doomed!
Hearing this, Chu Xiaotian quickly asked: "Prefect Lin, you must have had an idea when you called us over. Just tell us, what do you want us to do to save ourselves?"
Hearing Chu Xiaotian's inquiry, Lin Zhi said sinisterly: "Now, if he wants us to die, then we will drag him to be buried with him! My countermeasure is to lead some barbarians, party members and Tubo people to join us.
Attack Yizhou City. When the time comes, we should cooperate internally and externally to capture Yizhou City and kill the King of Shu. This Yizhou City will be ours!"
Hearing Lin Jue's words, the three people couldn't help but trembled with fright.
Chief Shi Chu Xiaotian was so frightened that he even dropped the tea bowl in his hand to the ground.
Bang!
The tea bowl fell to the ground and broke into pieces.
Hearing the sound inside, a maid quickly opened the door and walked in, taking a broom to sweep the debris on the floor.
Lin Jie suddenly stared at the girl and asked sternly: "Who asked you to come in?"
Lin Jie's fierce expression frightened the maid's face to pale, and she stammered: "Slave, slave, listen, hear the sound here, only then..."
Lin Jie's face softened slightly, and then asked: "Oh, were you the only one who heard it?"
The maid quickly said: "I am the only one here, they, they are all at Madam's place..."
brush!
Lin Jie suddenly pulled out the sword hanging on the side wall and stabbed it down, hitting the maid in the heart.
Blood spurted out from the maid's chest, she grabbed the edge of the sword with both hands in shock, looked at Lin Jue with an unbelievable expression, and slowly fell down.
This scene made the three people in the room so frightened that their faces changed color.
Especially the official Chu Xiaotian, whose body was stained with blood, was wiping the blood on his body in horror. His legs were shaking involuntarily and he couldn't control them at all.
Lin Jie took the sword out of the maid's body, wiped it clean on her clothes, and sheathed the sword again.
Senran said: "Everyone, we have no way out now! If we advance, there is still a glimmer of hope, and we may even become princes! If we retreat, we will die without a place to bury ourselves!"
