Chapter 99 Reaching an Alliance
Author: Zhou Qing
Linyin was very smart, and she already understood the rest of the words without Yuan Ce finishing.
She didn't look very good-looking. Even though she was ambitious, and even though Yuan Ce was in office, it might be more difficult for her to seize power, but this didn't mean that she would feel lucky that this happened.
Linyin immediately understood the reason why Yuan Ce did this, and now she could know what Yuan Ce wanted to do without asking.
If it were her, she would also want to plan for the throne. What's more, the current emperor's perverse actions have already made many people dissatisfied. It only makes the nobles dissatisfied.
Today, in order to compete for power with the old aristocracy, it is almost nepotism. It is outrageous to let civil servants lead military generals.
If it were her, she would also want to recharge her batteries and pull people out of their positions when the time is right.
"My secret has almost been asked by the princess, so what about the princess's secret?" An alliance requires sincerity, and he failed, so he told his secret first, but this does not mean that Linyin can get rid of all the secrets without saying anything.
And retreat.
Once she knew the secret, she had no way out.
He and Linyin can have a 50-50 fight, but this is in his territory.
"Why is the princess so hostile to Jinshang and Marquis Chengning? If it was just because of the marriage, the princess could obviously break off the engagement quickly, why is there such a stalemate? What is the reason for the princess's hostility towards the royal family and the Du family?
What?" Yuan Ce asked again.
Linyin took a deep look at Yuan Ce. She wanted to say something, but Yuan Ce probably wouldn't believe it.
After all, who would believe something as ridiculous as a dream?
Linyin told a lie: "At first, he trampled my face to the ground. I didn't expect that much. But then I thought about it carefully, and I felt that something was wrong. I don't believe that this marriage is for the purpose of marrying the old and the new.
, I am more inclined to think that they are trying to divide it in this way."
It is actually nothing unusual for the new emperor to reshuffle the strength of the old aristocracy.
If she were in a superior position, she would do the same thing, but the way of doing it would be different. But she would never rush to kill the donkey in an extremely ugly way when her position is unstable.
"I can't watch myself being liquidated. If others point their fingers at me, I will naturally point my sword at them. Keep Du Guangji, suppress Du Guangji, and never make peace. This way I can better wield the sword.
The front is facing the emperor."
Moreover, there was one thing that Linyin didn't say, but even if he didn't say it, Linyin believed that Yuance would understand.
Using Du Guangji to suppress the emperor will not arouse the emperor's fear and suspicion.
After all, in the eyes of the Holy Emperor, she is just a willful little girl. The Emperor's fear of them is only because of their excessive power, not for any other reason.
Yuan Ce was thoughtful.
It seems that their purpose is actually the same.
They are all to resist and shake the notice of today's superiors.
It's just that goals belong to goals, and interests belong to interests.
"Then what does the princess want to do? Become an enemy of Jin Shang, and what will happen in the end?" Yuan Ce continued to ask.
Linyin glanced at Yuan Ce and smiled meaningfully, "Who would leave hidden dangers? Don't you have a son now? I remember there is also a second son of the emperor."
Support the second son of the emperor to ascend to the throne, consolidate the rights of the Lin clan through marriage, and then find ways to sideline him after she becomes queen. After giving birth to an heir, the second son of the emperor will have no role.
And in this way, her power and ambition will be guaranteed. Her abilities and talents can also be put to use. If the second son of the emperor is obedient, then everything will be easy. If he is disobedient, doesn't she have to change to another emperor? The same goes for the heir.
, you can change it even if you don’t obey.
Who is not a descendant of Taizu?
Even if she is not a descendant of Taizu, if she can stand in such a position, then it is justifiable for her to get power. Don't talk about stealing the country, no one's throne is truly destined by destiny.
Yuan Ce smiled softly, he didn't know the truest thoughts in Linyin's heart.
After all, after saying this, others can only think that Linyin may want to continue her power through the power of Conglong. Who would have thought that she has such great ambitions?
However, Yuan Ce could vaguely guess that Linyin's purpose was not that simple, and she might want more.
Today, the most powerful woman in the dynasty is Aunt Hengyang, but compared to Aunt Hengyang, her daughter is like a politician.
All politicians have is ambition, and Linyin will definitely want the emperor.
"From this point of view, choosing me is not as good as choosing the second prince." Yuan Ce spoke slowly. After confessing the secret, there was a new round of testing.
The second prince must be able to give Linyin greater power, because the second prince is incompetent.
"But you are a powerful opponent." Linyin showed a smile, she seemed innocent, "After all, I am not alone, and there are too many interests bound to me. The same is true for you. If you and I collide rashly, what will happen in the end?
The result will be no good for you, me, the country, or our family."
If they later start fighting for power, it will definitely be a fight to the death. This is not a fight between two people, it is a fight between two interest groups. If two behemoths fight, only the people below will be hurt.
And after one side wins, the other side will inevitably be liquidated. And no matter which side is liquidated, the court will be in chaos.
When Yuan Ce was the crown prince, countless officials and officials served in the East Palace, and countless famous scholars and scholars served as his teachers. He himself once commanded one side, and now there are still many close confidants in the southeast.
And her power goes without saying.
If one party is liquidated, the government and the opposition will surely be in turmoil, and the covetous foreigners will not let go of this opportunity to take advantage of the situation. When the time comes, they will be the eternal sinners who have cut off the prosperous age in half and ushered in a troubled world.
She knew this, and Yuan Ce would also know this after knowing her plan.
So they can only take a step back.
She chose Yuan Ce as her king instead, and Yuan Ce had to transfer part of his power to her.
"How are you finding the evidence that Du Guangji killed Governor Xue?" Linyin asked suddenly. Yuan Ce could not only pin this matter on Xue Yaochi, he would also investigate the evidence himself.
Yuan Ce was puzzled at first, but then he understood, "Within half a year, we should be able to collect all the evidence. Now we have found a lot of evidence."
Just because the evidence was not found at that time does not mean that it is not available now.
"Within a year, I will definitely reconcile with Du Guangji." Linyin looked at Yuan Ce and said with a smile.
"At that time, Lue Heng will definitely prepare the betrothal gifts and wild geese, and go to your mansion to welcome the Phoenix back in person." Yuan Ce also showed a warm and warm smile.
The two looked at each other and smiled, saying nothing.
Yuan Ce now has a good impression of A Yin, and for other reasons, that's why he promised to marry A Yin. A Yin is not, and now Yuan Ce is just a tool to her.
Ayin has a desire for power, and this desire will not be eliminated because of her love for Yuance in the future. Yuance will be more hesitant.
Let me say one more thing here. From a political point of view, Emperor Xingde was not wrong in suppressing the old aristocracy. It was just as right as Emperor Jianwen was in power and cutting down the vassals, but the method was not good.
