Chapter 388 Sacrifice for Love
Chapter 388 Sacrifice for Love
The emperor came out to speak for Lin Tingyu, and then asked Madam Lin and the others to go back. The queen was very unhappy to see the emperor's favoritism.
Originally, when her father said he wanted to support her son to become emperor, she refused on the grounds that the prince was too young. Now it seems that there is really no need for the emperor to stay!
The queen, who had made up her mind, asked her servant to pass a message to the prime minister, saying that she was willing to drug the emperor. When her son became emperor, she would be the queen mother and rule the country from behind the curtain. The Lin family would be nothing but ants!
After reading the note Dongfang He wrote to him, Lin Tingyu knew that the clan must want to harm the emperor. After reading the note, Lin Tingyu burned it.
He was surrounded by clan members, officials, and the queen... It could be said that except for the emperor and him, everyone else in the palace was from the clan. It was almost the same whether he was warned of the danger or not.
At night, Lin Tingyu and the emperor were in the palace. He asked the emperor, "Can't we give up the reform?"
The emperor frowned at him and said, "No, are you trying to ruin my plan again?"
Lin Tingyu looked at the long sword in his hand and said, "How can your strategy alone fight against the gears of this era?"
The emperor said: "Give me some time, and then I will close my net and move on to a new world."
Lin Tingyu wiped his sword and said, "It's already amazing that you have planned to become the emperor from an unpopular prince. Don't be so impatient, maybe you can conquer the world."
The emperor said unhappily, "My plan was perfect! It was you who barged in and ruined my plan before, which is why I failed!"
Lin Tingyu said: "I'm just afraid that you'll lose so badly that the whole chessboard will be overturned and you won't know whether you've won or lost."
The emperor said unhappily, "Why do you think I will definitely lose?"
Lin Tingyu looked at the emperor and asked, "Your ministers and wives are all from the clan. Your people are controlled by the clan. Although you sit at the top of the pyramid, they do not obey you. You want to overthrow them from the top, but it is useless. It is easy for them to replace you."
The emperor said angrily, "I know it will take time to get rid of them. I have confidence in this."
Lin Tingyu shook his head and said, "But they don't want to give you time."
The emperor showed no particular expression. He said, "I know that the recent assassinations are their intention. I will fight them to the end!"
Lin Tingyu pulled the emperor aside and said, "Why don't you train me to become a new force to counterbalance them, and then kill me at the last moment."
The emperor looked at Lin Tingyu in shock. He had used this trick before. Dongfang Chi was indeed powerful and he had basically eliminated all those powerful ministers. In the end, he let Dongfang Chi die in his hands, completing the whole plan. He always thought that he was powerful, but now he thinks that if Dongfang Chi had not volunteered to be the knife, he alone would not be able to close the net.
Thinking of this, Wu Ao felt very frustrated. He always thought that his plan was powerful, but he found that he had been fooled by this reckless man for many lifetimes.
Seeing Wu Ao's eyes redden, Dongfang Chi knew that his words might have hit the other party's sore spot. He said nonchalantly: "If you hate me, then go ahead and hate me! I also like being your knife. You can't fail in this world. There are still two worlds before you can leave."
Wu Ao's eyes were red as he tried hard not to let his tears fall. He thought that as the one who planned it, he could watch everything calmly, but in the end he found that he couldn't even control his own emotions.
Dongfang Chi comforted Wu Ao. You know, he could face it calmly no matter how fiercely they quarreled in the past. But now, seeing Wu Ao about to cry, he suddenly felt at a loss.
"If you feel unhappy, just beat me up to make yourself feel better." You know, Wu Ao used to like sitting on him and punching him a few times. At that time, the happy smile on the man's face was brighter than the sun.
Wu Ao laughed at Dongfang Chi's words. Was he a violent maniac in his heart?! He then grabbed Dongfang Chi's clothes and went back to the bedroom. He was feeling extremely upset and needed to do something exciting to release his emotions!
After Chang Ningchen returned to the Lin Mansion, he felt that it was very dangerous there, but it was unrealistic to take everyone in the Lin Mansion with him, and it was too selfish to take only Dongfang He to the Chen Mansion.
He wanted to live and wanted everyone to live together, so he looked at Dongfang He anxiously. Dongfang He took Chang Ningchen's hand and said, "Achen, you should go back to the Chen Mansion! I feel more at ease with you there. Even if Lin Tingyu fails, you will be fine. Chen Wenjin will protect you."
Chang Ningchen shook his head and gestured, he wanted to advance and retreat together with Dongfang He.
But time waits for no one. The Queen puts drugs in the food she sends to the Emperor, but it is accidentally knocked over by Lin Tingyu. Seeing the white foam on the soup, Dongfang Chi thinks that the Queen is trying to break off relations with them by poisoning them with her real name!
Dongfang Chi planned to stay to confuse the Prime Minister and others, and then let his confidant take Wu Ao away. As the saying goes, there is always a way to survive.
Let Wu Ao build up his power outside and then launch a coup from the base of the pyramid. As long as he comes down from the top of the pyramid, it will be much safer to hide at the bottom. There will definitely be people who want to resist the current oppression. Wu Ao just needs to unite with them and create a huge wave from the bottom, which is better than being isolated and helpless at the top of the pyramid.
Wu Ao looked at Dongfang Chi. He knew that anyone who stayed now would surely die. The Prime Minister would not let Dongfang Chi go!
"I don't want to leave. We've lived in a rational world together for so long, I want to be emotional for once."
After experiencing so many conspiracies and calculations, Wu Ao suddenly didn't want to struggle anymore.
Dongfang Chi picked up the imperial edict and said, "Then your Majesty will leave an imperial edict to protect the lives of the Lin family."
Wu Ao looked at Dongfang Chi and left an imperial edict for the Lin family. That night, the emperor's bedroom caught fire and Lin Tingyu was burned to death. The two were lying together when they died. Everyone said that the general and the emperor committed suicide for love.
Because of the emperor's decree, the Lin family was punished to be sent to another city and could never enter Beijing again. In addition to Chang Ningchen and Dongfang He, there were two more people in the carriage of the Lin family leaving the city. They were Lin Tingyu who had changed into casual clothes and the emperor.
They faked their own deaths in a fire and escaped from the palace, and then an imperial edict was issued, ostensibly to punish them for leaving the capital, but in reality to force them to flee the capital to avoid being killed by their clan.
The four people who left the capital began to join forces with the local uprising army. The four people were two pairs of partners, one civil and one military, one was responsible for fighting and the other for making plans.
One of the commanders was a mute, but he was extremely fierce in combat. Together, the four of them led the oppressed people to overthrow the various clans and redistribute the land. With the support of the people, they broke into the palace in ten years.
When the young emperor and the empress dowager saw their faces, they were particularly shocked. The emperor even called one of them "father", but these are all rumors.
When the dynasty was overthrown, they found a more capable person to be the new emperor. Finally, the four of them retired and lived in seclusion in the mountains.
