Siheyuan: tomb robbing? I am serious about hunting.

Chapter 747: A Moment of Contemplation

I think we can send General Wang Meng, the Zhenyuan General, who has been on the battlefield for a long time and has made great achievements. He will definitely protect the border of our Great Chu. "Lin Yuan's face changed slightly, and he snorted coldly, saying, "General, you can eat whatever you want, but you can't say whatever you want. I know the true nature of General Sun De. As for the withholding of military pay, it is purely a rumor. General, don't delay national affairs for your own selfishness. "In the court, officials from both factions held different opinions and argued endlessly. Zhao Huan felt very annoyed when he saw this scene. He knew very well that although he was the emperor, the power in his hands was constrained by Lin Yuan and others. If this situation could not be broken as soon as possible, the Great Chu Dynasty might fall into an irretrievable situation. After adjourning the court, Zhao Huan returned to the imperial study and meditated alone. He remembered the late emperor's last words before his death, asking him to revitalize the government and protect the country of Great Chu. But now, the court is controlled by Lin Yuan's faction, and he has the title of emperor but not the real emperor. Just as he was thinking about it, the personal eunuch Xiao Shunzi hurried in and whispered, "Your Majesty, Lord Chen, the Chief Censor, wants to see you." Zhao Huan's eyes lit up and said, "Summon him quickly. "Chen Feng is Zhao Huan's confidant. He is smart and clever, and loyal to Zhao Huan. This time Chen Feng asked for an audience, presumably to discuss important matters. Chen Feng walked into the imperial study, knelt down to salute, took out a secret letter from his arms, presented it to Zhao Huan, and said: "Your Majesty, this is the secret report I have received recently. Lin Yuan secretly colluded with the barbarians, intending to cooperate inside and outside to overthrow our Great Chu Dynasty." Zhao Huan heard this, his face changed drastically, and he hurriedly opened the secret letter to check. The secret letter recorded in detail the correspondence between Lin Yuan and the barbarian leader, as well as their conspiracy plans. After reading it, Zhao Huan was furious, slammed the secret letter heavily on the table, and said: "Lin Yuan, the old thief, how dare you be so bold! I must bring him to justice. "Seeing this, Chen Feng hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, this matter must not be impulsive. Lin Yuan has a huge influence in the court. If you act rashly, there may be changes. Your Majesty needs to take a long-term view and work slowly. "Zhao Huan took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down. He looked at Chen Feng and asked, "In your opinion, what should I do?" Chen Feng pondered for a moment and said, "Your Majesty, the most urgent task is to stabilize Lin Yuan first and let him relax his vigilance. At the same time, Your Majesty can secretly contact officials in the court who support Your Majesty to accumulate strength. In addition, you can send someone to the border to contact General Wang Meng and ask him to pay close attention to the movements of the barbarians. If there is any unusual movement, send troops immediately. "Zhao Huan nodded slightly and said, "Your Majesty is right. I will leave this matter to you. You must be careful and not let any news leak out. "Chen Feng took the order and left. After that, Zhao Huan followed Chen Feng's strategy, and on the surface he trusted Lin Yuan more, and he also appointed most of the officials recommended by him. Seeing this, Lin Yuan was secretly proud of himself, thinking that Zhao Huan was just a weak and incompetent emperor and was not to be feared. In secret, Chen Feng ran around and contacted loyal people in the court. After some efforts, they gradually formed a force to oppose Lin Yuan. At the same time, Zhao Huan also sent people to the border secretly to inform Wang Meng of Lin Yuan's conspiracy. When Wang Meng learned about it, he was furious, and immediately stated that he would go all out to defend the border of Da Chu and would never let Lin Yuan's conspiracy succeed. However, Lin Yuan was a shrewd man after all, and he was suspicious of Zhao Huan's actions. In order to test Zhao Huan, he deliberately proposed a policy that was extremely beneficial to him in the court, trying to observe Zhao Huan's reaction. In the court, Lin Yuan stepped out again and said: "Your Majesty, I think that the country's finances are tight now, and we should cut military expenditures in various places and use the saved silver to repair the imperial palace. Your Majesty is the ruler of a country, and the palace is the seat of the royal family's majesty. It cannot be too simple. "As soon as these words came out, there was an uproar in the court. All officials knew that Lin Yuan's move was actually to weaken the strength of the army so that he could better control the situation. Zhao Huan understood Lin Yuan's intention, but he suppressed his anger and said calmly: "What the Prime Minister said is not unreasonable. Let me think about this matter again." Seeing that Zhao Huan did not reject it on the spot, Lin Yuan was secretly proud of himself. He thought that Zhao Huan had been controlled by him. However, he did not notice that a trace of imperceptible firmness flashed in Zhao Huan's eyes. After returning to the imperial study, Zhao Huan immediately summoned Chen Feng. He said to Chen Feng: "Lin Yuan, the old thief, is becoming more and more unscrupulous. I can't wait any longer, and I must act as soon as possible. "Chen Feng nodded and said: "Your Majesty, now that we have accumulated a certain amount of strength, it is time to act. However, we still need a suitable opportunity. "Just then, Xiao Shunzi hurried in and said excitedly: "Your Majesty, there is a good news from the border. General Wang Meng defeated the barbarians and the enemy has retreated. " Zhao Huan was overjoyed when he heard this. Chen Feng's eyes lit up and said: "Your Majesty, this is a godsend opportunity. The truth about Lin Yuan's collusion with the barbarians has now been revealed. Your Majesty can take this opportunity to announce to the world and bring Lin Yuan to justice. " Zhao Huan nodded heavily and said: "Okay, I'll do as you say. I want to make the old thief Lin Yuan pay the price for what he did. " The next morning, Zhao Huan was wearing a dragon robe and sitting on the dragon chair with a majestic look. After all the officials finished their salute, he suddenly slapped the dragon chair and shouted: "Come on, take down Prime Minister Lin Yuan!" Lin Yuan's face changed drastically when he heard this. He said in panic: "Your Majesty, what crime have I committed? Why do you want to take me? "Zhao Huan snorted coldly and said, "Lin Yuan, you still dare to quibble! You secretly colluded with the barbarians and intended to overthrow our Great Chu Dynasty. Your crime is extremely heinous. I thought you were a veteran of three dynasties and didn't want to make things difficult for you, but you didn't repent and became worse. Today, I will definitely bring you to justice and uphold the law of the country. "After saying that, Zhao Huan threw the secret letter in front of Lin Yuan. Lin Yuan picked up the secret letter, saw the content on it, and collapsed to the ground. He knew that his conspiracy had been exposed and everything was over. As Lin Yuan was arrested, his followers were also investigated one after another. The court of the Great Chu Dynasty finally returned to its former clarity. After experiencing this thrilling power struggle, Zhao Huan gradually grew into a brave and resourceful emperor. He knew very well that as the king of a country, he shouldered the heavy responsibility of the country and the people. Only by working hard to govern the country can the Great Chu Dynasty prosper and maintain long-term stability. After that, Zhao Huan, assisted by a group of loyal ministers such as Chen Feng and Wang Meng, began a series of reforms. The Great Chu Dynasty also ushered in a new dawn and continued to write its own glorious chapter in the long river of history.

Lin Yu looked at the scene in front of him with a lot of emotion in his heart. He knew that in this battle with the flood, he not only used the knowledge he had learned, but also gained valuable life experience.
