Guo Mian stood there in a daze, his mind not turning. For a moment, he was ecstatic, feeling that happiness came too suddenly. If Guo Xu quits, wouldn't he be the crown prince?
Huh? But he felt something was wrong. What exactly was wrong, he couldn't tell.
In a daze, he looked around. People around him were in a daze, and those who supported him were standing there dumbfounded. Until he saw Lin Jue not far away. Lin Jue signaled him with his eyes and gently said
Waving his hands, Guo Xu was not stupid at all, but he suddenly became enlightened.
"Father, I also feel that it is not appropriate to discuss the matter of establishing a crown prince at this time. I sincerely ask my father to suspend the discussion of establishing a crown prince and wait until the situation is stable before discussing again." Guo Mian knelt down and kowtowed, shouting loudly.
Who would have thought that such an important issue in today's court meeting to establish a crown prince would end in such a way. The two princes rushed to request a postponement of the establishment of a crown prince. This is probably a unique and bizarre thing in all dynasties throughout the ages.
Those who understand will naturally understand, those who don’t understand will never understand. Those who don’t know how to pretend to understand will make far-fetched remarks. The two princes are wise, and they are unwilling to cause more troubles when the court is in crisis. Some people even regard it as a good talk and sigh and praise it.
.But people who really understand know that there are many thoughts and considerations hidden here, which are thought-provoking.
When Guo Chong pretended to be helpless and announced that the matter of establishing the crown prince would be postponed for further discussion, his goal today had been achieved. As long as his body can still bear it, the next time he will mention this matter will be after he is about to pass away.
It's time. Before this, he would never initiate such a court discussion again.
Lin Jue left Chongzheng Hall with the crowd of people talking. The sun outside was dazzling. Under the winter sun, the white snow around the front hall and the ground reflected a dazzling halo, which made people feel a little dazed for a moment.
Lin Jue waited for the crowd to thin out a bit, and Fang slowly climbed down the steps. But soon, he felt numb when he saw Huai Wang Guo Xu standing at the bottom of the stone steps with his hands behind his back, waiting for him. Although Lin Jue did not want to follow him
No matter how verbose I was, I couldn't avoid him, so I had to walk towards him slowly.
"Master Lin, please take a step to speak." Guo Xu said in a deep voice.
Lin Jue smiled and nodded: "Okay."
Guo Xu turned around and walked towards a forest in the corner of the square. Lin Jue followed him and entered the forest. The two of them walked forward crunching on the snow. In front of them was a small pavilion in the forest, which was full of snow and snow.
Falling leaves, Guo Xu entered the pavilion, stood in the middle of the pavilion and turned around to look at Lin Jue indifferently.
Lin Jue smiled and said: "His Royal Highness, King Huai, what do you think?"
Guo Xu said coldly: "You are very courageous! You dare to kidnap Yanei and force me to release him. That's good. You can surround Wei and save Zhao."
Lin Jue smiled and said: "What did His Highness King Huai say? I don't understand very well."
"Hmph, stop pretending to be like me here. Don't think you can deceive people just by pretending. That's what you did." Guo Xu shouted.
Lin Jue smiled and said: "Since you have identified it as me, why didn't His Highness Prince Huai expose me?"
Guo Xu said coldly: "Don't be complacent. You have already made a big mistake and no one can save you. Do you know that Prime Minister Lu has also decided to get rid of you. Your death is coming soon, so I owe you more
Makes you laugh."
Lin Jue chuckled and said, "Did His Highness call me here just to tell me this? That's not necessary. I know what I did and I also know what the consequences will be. I don't need you to remind me." Guo
Xu said coldly: "I don't want to remind you. I just think that you are a talented person and can't bear to see you go astray. I can even forgive you for these treacherous acts. It's all out of compassion for your talent."
I mean, I want to give you a chance to change your ways. If you really think you can do whatever you want, then you are wrong. In this capital, I am the only one who can do whatever you want, not you."
Lin Jue said in a deep voice: "Of course His Highness can do whatever he wants, otherwise he wouldn't have even kidnapped one of my concubines to threaten me. But I don't know if this matter spreads out, His Highness will be in the eyes of the Emperor and the ministers."
What is the image of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China?"
Guo Xu shouted: "I won't quarrel with you. I'm just looking for you to give you a last chance to repent. If you continue to be stubborn, I will never have such a conversation with you again. The next time we meet alone, if you don't
The king's prisoner is a mute corpse."
Lin Jue sneered and said nothing. Guo Xu said: "You can just ignore it. Maybe you don't have a close relationship with me and don't know my methods. I will never be lenient to anyone who dares to challenge me. In fact, even this time
This opportunity was obtained by me in front of Prime Minister Lu for you. If you kidnap Prime Minister Lu's only son, Prime Minister Lu would like to tear you into pieces."
Lin Jue didn't think that Guo Xu was joking at all. When he made up his mind to kidnap Lu Tianci, he had already realized it. What Guo Xu said today was not an exaggeration at all. They would definitely do something to him. No matter what happened,
Whether it's overt or dark, it's all about putting yourself to death.
"What are the conditions? Tell me." Lin Jue asked.
"You are really a smart man, but you did stupid things and joined the stupid team. Of course, my opportunity was not given in vain. It's very simple. Do you have a prescription in your hand? My father is recovering well.
Did you take the pills you gave me?" Guo Xu said in a deep voice.
Lin Jue was shocked that Guo Xu actually knew about such a confidential matter. Very few people knew about this matter. Lin Jue immediately pictured Qian Delu's simple and fat face in front of his eyes. In the whole thing, only himself and
Apart from the emperor, the one who witnessed the whole process was probably Qian Delu. Could it be said that Qian Delu was actually a member of Guo Xu or Lu Zhongtian? Did he reveal to Guo Xu and Lu Zhongtian that the emperor took the pills given by him?
This is too scary. The person Guo Chong regards as his most confidant is actually the spy of Lu Zhongtian and Guo Xu. Thinking about it makes people go numb.
"Lin Jue, if you want to deny this matter, I advise you to save it. In the past few days, you have been frequently summoned by my father because of this pill. This medicine is indeed effective, and my father's complexion looks...
You are much better. I am afraid that the reason why you are so confident is because you know that your father will be extremely grateful to you. I will not say any more gossip. Give me the prescription of the pill. It means you have changed your mind.
A new letter of surrender. Hand over the prescription and the matter will be wiped out. I will no longer make things difficult for you, let alone force you to stand on my side. I will never touch a hair of your Lin family again. What do you think of this condition?
How?" Guo Xu said in a deep voice.
Lin Jue's mind raced and he soon understood Guo Xu's intention. He originally thought that Guo Xu would ask him to tell him about the incident between Lu Wu and Mei Fei, but he did not expect that what Guo Xu wanted was the prescription in his hand. This prescription
At present, it can be said to be a priceless treasure. The value of the prescription that can save the emperor's life is immeasurable. But the prescription is in his hands, just to be appreciated by the emperor, so that he can be promoted to a higher position. However, once the prescription reaches Guo Xu
In his hand, it means that he can control Guo Chong's life and death, and it means that he can use it to blackmail Guo Chong into doing anything. To a certain extent, he can even influence the ownership of the great Zhou Dynasty. No wonder he even kidnapped Lu Tianci.
Everything can be forgiven, that's because the prescription in their hands is a good way to influence the situation, so they are willing to come to them to negotiate this deal under such circumstances.
"Don't think too much about it. I have the prescription in my hand, and I will still carefully prepare the pills to cure my father's illness. The prescription is in your hand, and you have a great stake. Once something unexpected happens, you can't help it.
Abstain from the blame. You should understand this. If you hand it over to me, you will no longer have to worry about it. Do you understand? This is for your own good." Guo Xu's explanation was somewhat self-inflicted and superfluous.
"Your Highness Prince Huai, I have once again let you down. I don't have any prescription in my hand." How could Lin Jue let Guo Xu get the prescription? He wouldn't believe a word of Guo Xu's lies.
Guo Xu said coldly: "Lin Jue, how many times do I have to tell you before you understand that everything about you is under my control? There is a limit to my patience. Don't mess with it.
This king has lost his patience."
Lin Jue spread his hands and smiled bitterly: "Your Highness Prince Huai, I really didn't lie to you. There really is no prescription. I'm not a doctor, how can I know the orpiment technique? Those pills are real, but they were from a friend of mine before.
I took some pills for my lung disease, but some were left after I recovered. I thought it would be useful for the emperor's condition, so I dared to give it to the emperor for a trial. Don't think about it, if there was a prescription, how could I not give it to him?
Dedicate it to the emperor? There is indeed no prescription."
Guo Xu sneered and said: "You think you can deceive me? That's not what you said in front of my father. You said you had a prescription, but you couldn't give it because you were afraid of making mistakes during the preparation. But now you say you don't have it.
Which of the prescriptions is true?"
Lin Jue further confirmed the authenticity of the fact that the emperor had Guo Xu's eyes and ears. What Guo Xu said was exactly what he said to the emperor that night. The only person present that night besides himself and the emperor was Qian Delu. Guo Xu knew
With such details, who told him? Qian Delu is the biggest suspect here. It is unlikely that the emperor himself informed Guo Xu of this matter, because the emperor concealed his illness. There is another possibility that someone is involved.
The maids and guards serving in the palace may also hear the conversation. In short, there is no doubt that Guo Xu's informants are around the emperor.
"Say, you have nothing to say. You want to lie to me. There is no way. Lin Jue, I advise you to be aware of the current situation and give the prescription to me. Leave a way out for yourself and give me one.
No reason to spare you." Guo Xu shouted.
Lin Jue smiled bitterly and said: "His Royal Highness King Huai, I don't know how to explain it to you. Well, I admit that I have committed the crime of deceiving the emperor. I don't have the prescription, and I lied to the emperor. I just want to take a chance, hope
The medicine is effective for the emperor's disease and can make the emperor happy and treat me differently. I am worried that the emperor will not take this pill, so I say that it is a famous medicine prescription and the pill is prepared according to the prescription. If I didn't
He said, "How can the emperor take this pill of unknown origin? I have committed the crime of deceiving the emperor. If His Highness King Huai refuses to forgive me, I will go and confess to the Emperor. I will say that His Highness asked me for a prescription, but I can't get it out.
I can tell the truth. I hope the emperor can forgive me. After all, this pill is still effective for the emperor's condition."
