Chapter 722： Sitting on the mountain and watching the tiger fight

On the way back to the palace, Lin Tingyan witnessed the execution of Yang Runchen and his rebel henchmen. Thinking back to the years since the death of his mother and concubine, he has been loyally assisting him, protecting and loving him like a father, and he suddenly felt extremely lonely in his heart.

Watching the Imperial City Army dragging the corpse of the thief's head to the mass grave outside the city, he secretly clenched his fists and went straight to the palace.

The sky is getting brighter, and the cold wind is blowing in every corner of Jingling City. After a night of chaos, this magnificent capital has regained its former vitality.

The sergeants gathered at the north city gate and waited in full force, but the emperor did not personally preside over the year-end sacrifice. In addition, the rebellion last night was much smaller than the planned scale and regulations. Only Qinghe King Lin Jinke and Regent Lin Tingyan led the workers to the place of worship.

Knowing that this rather unpopular uncle of the Sixth Emperor presided over the worship for the emperor, Lin Jinke was 10,000 unconvinced.

From leaving the city to worshiping at the altar, neither of them had any verbal communication.

After the worship ceremony was over, Lin Jinke accompanied him down the altar, and finally couldn't help but sneer: "Congratulations to Uncle Liu, now he has won the trust of His Majesty and the ancestors, in the future, Jingling City and even the entire Dahe Empire I'm afraid you're the only one who will follow suit."

"Why does Jinke make fun of me?"

Lin Tingyan smiled bitterly indifferently and said: "Now that your three emperor uncles and Yang Situ's party have completely collapsed, the old ancestor's move is just a check and balance. She is worried that you will be so powerful that you will not be able to check and balance, so she continues to support you in front of everyone. I’m just an uncle with no roots.”

Paused, he carefully inspected the servants under the altar, and lowered his voice to remind: "After all, I made a wedding dress for someone else."

"What does the emperor say?"

Lin Jinke also followed his gaze to look at Taiwei Yin Sinian and the royal family members standing not far away.

Lin Tingyan looked at the misty sky, and pretended to sigh deeply: "Looking at the weather today, it might snow again, would Jinke accompany me in the carriage to talk?"

Lin Jinke realized that he was hiding something in his heart that he couldn't mention it face to face, so he followed his wishes, left the horse and went with him to the carriage and took a seat.

The two were silent all the way, and rushed back for a long time. Seeing that they were about to enter Jingling City, Lin Tingyan suddenly took out a handkerchief from his bosom, handed it to Lin Jinke mysteriously, and signaled: "Jinke may as well go by yourself." have a look."

Lin Jinke opened the veil in a daze, and saw a few lines of blood-red handwriting on the veil. I don't know how many years have passed, and the handwriting has begun to turn yellow.

After a cursory look at the handwriting in the handkerchief, he almost cried out, realizing that the carriage of Yin Sinian and others was right behind him, and immediately turned to ask in a low voice, "Where did the Sixth Emperor get it?" With this handkerchief, is it true that King Pingning is really the posthumous son of the former crown prince?"

"Definitely."

Lin Tingyan unhurriedly adjusted the clothes hanging on his legs, and said slowly:

"This blood book records all the facts that when Lin Tingshu came to Beijing, he exchanged his own flesh and blood for Concubine Ji to give birth to the posthumous son of Prince Ting'an. In order to keep the only blood of the former prince, the old matriarch Chang has been investigating thoroughly afterwards. It just so happens that I have a confidant who served Concubine Ji and recorded the whole story here before she died."

After thinking for a while, he added: "Back then, I was always wondering why Chang Lao and Nie Lao resigned from office just after Jinsheng came to the throne. You must know that the government was difficult at that time, and without the assistance of the two of them, how could the new emperor succeed?" Facing the court situation, it was not until I read this letter that I suddenly realized that the Empress Dowager wanted these two people to return to Luyan Port to preserve the blood of the former prince."

"It's no wonder that since the tax and bank case happened, the emperor and the ancestors ignored the objections of the courtiers and repeatedly promoted Lin Jinxiao to settle down in a poor household in just a few months. They even bestowed the Emperor's Sword on this person. The root is actually here."

Lin Jinke squeezed the handkerchief in his hand, although he was dubious about what Lin Tingyan said, but combined with various signs, he had to believe the truth of the matter.

Even though Lin Jinxiao was not the posthumous son of the first prince, this person would indeed become his number one enemy in the future, and he had to guard against him.

Seeing that his attitude towards him had changed, Lin Tingyan continued, "To tell you the truth, I've been following your Uncle Sanhuang all these years, but I know a lot of things. It is said that Yang Situ knew the identity of King Pingning for a long time. In my heart, the tax and bank case was led by this person, but it is a pity that his adopted son Xiao Dingfang failed in the end, and later sent out assassins to assassinate him, but they all returned without success."

"Uncle Liu Huang knows a lot."

Lin Jinke realized that he had underestimated him, and grinned and said, "So, the Sixth Emperor uncle already knew about last night's palace change?"

"I was indeed on guard, so I reminded that girl Nan Zhi. I wanted to let Jin Ke take advantage of you while they were dealing with Yang's party. Who would have thought that you would be given by this girl?" Toyed."

"Hey, this woman is really not simple."

When it comes to Chu Nanzhi, Lin Jinke also loves to hate.

Obviously said that he wanted to create conditions for himself, but the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity stopped him in the city last night. This world is really difficult for villains and women.

"So right now, she must never be allowed to leave Jingling City alive."

Lin Tingyan has already made up his mind, and no longer fantasizes that this woman will be used by him.

"Kill her?"

Lin Jinke let out a sigh of embarrassment: "Wouldn't it be a pity?"

"You, stop having illusions in your heart. A good man has ambitions everywhere, and he should focus on his great cause."

Lin Tingyan saw that he also felt pity for that woman, and persuaded him earnestly: "She is highly valued by Your Majesty and our ancestors, so I will plan for her family. If she is not eliminated as soon as possible, we will all die sooner or later." in her hand."

Thinking of Chu Nanzhi's treatment of her, Lin Jinke immediately realized this, and immediately had an idea in her mind: "I'm afraid it's not enough to just get rid of her, and we have to get King Ping Ning's life together before the world reveals it to the world." get rid of."

"It's not difficult to do."

Lin Tingyan sneered slowly and said: "I heard that Sili Captain Kang Xiu is currently in Luyan Port, and Jin Xiao doesn't know his identity at the moment. As long as Tang Consort and Kang Xiu join hands, he will definitely be eradicated."

"Kang Xiu is indeed a reliable person. I am very relieved to have him to do this."

Lin Jinke nodded confidently.

It's just that he suddenly fell to himself, which makes people wonder.

Looked at Lin Tingyan in confusion, and asked hesitantly, "Why would Uncle Six want to help me?"

After pondering for a moment, he smiled and sarcastically said: "As far as my nephew knows, the emperor's uncle became the current regent because of the support of Prince Pingning and his wife. Could it be that he has other plans?"

"A person who knows current affairs is a hero."

Lin Tingyan began to lie in a serious manner: "Now that the Yang family and the Nandu King are overthrown, no one knows that Jin Ke is the most valued candidate for the heir. To become a demon concubine, instead of letting her get what she wants, I naturally hope that Jin Ke can reach the rank of Ninth Five-Year."

"The noble concubine Shangguan has indeed been wronged."

Lin Jinke was completely convinced by his reason, and swore a promise: "As long as the sixth uncle is willing to be loyal to me, when the general situation is settled, my nephew will definitely protect the wealth of the emperor forever, and will never regret it."

"So, I would like to thank Jin Ke for her golden words."

Lin Tingyan let out a sigh of relief.

Next, he only needs to sit back and watch the tigers fight to become the biggest winner.

For a while, I couldn't help feeling grateful for Yang Runchen's arrangement for himself.
