Dynasty Call: Low-key Struggle for Hegemony

Chapter 455 Undercurrent in Kyoto



Just when Li Yuan was upset, countless people in Kyoto were also upset.

Lin Xiangfu, Lin Shufan. Sitting opposite Lu Xun, the atmosphere was solemn and silent.

"There was a Li Si under the King of Chu, who was deeply trusted by the King of Chu. Huanzhou, Fengzhou, and Yizhou were all controlled by the King of Chu so quickly because of Li Si's rectification of the government. And the King of Chu also brought him with him. I don't know, Mr. Lin? What do you think?" Lu Xun looked at Lin Shufan who looked silent and asked quietly.

Lin Shufan held up the tea cup for a moment, then his eyes met Lu Xun's. He took a sip of the slightly bitter tea and said slowly:

"Both Yaohuang and Yuwang are in the hands of King Chu, and the overall situation has been decided."

When Lu Xun heard this, he felt relieved and continued:

"Lin Xiang'ai's daughter is a queen, and my daughter is also a concubine in the harem. How could the King of Chu continue to let us stay in this position?"

"In addition, some officials in Kyoto have secretly contacted the King of Chu. I am afraid that in order to show their loyalty, the people below will take the initiative to hand a knife to the King of Chu. Even if we do nothing, we will be there faster than imagined. abdicate."

"Haha, it's only natural for officials to push down the wall when they fall." Lin Xiang's eyes became darker. Although he has disciples all over the world, he also has many opponents. Although no one dares to do this to him now, there may be many people in his own lineage. At least some of them have been affected. In the past few days, people have come to cry almost every day.

"Don't you, Prime Minister Lin, want to fight again!" Lu Xun stared at Lin Shufan and said, "The outcome we have been waiting for is to lose. Then what else can we lose? But what if we win?"

Lin Shufan's eyes moved slightly and he looked at Lu Xun quietly.

Lu Xun did not hide it and said directly: "Xiang Lin should have also received a letter from Prince Xuan.

King Xuan can deal with Chu Junxiong in at most three months. He promised us that as long as we hold King Chu back, we will not be able to enter the capital within three months. When he and the Taiwei squadron return to the court, our seats will still be the same. "

Lin Shufan's eyelids sank, he took hold of the warm tea cup and slowly picked it up.

Seeing this, Lu Xun quickly asked: "I wonder what Mr. Lin thinks?"

Lin Shufan took a sip of hot tea and said calmly: "Master Lu, has he already found a way to prevent King Chu from entering the capital?"

"No, that's why I came here to ask Prime Minister Lin for advice." Lu Xun also picked up the tea cup, a smile appeared in his eyes, and he knew that Lin Shufan was moved.

"It is difficult to prevent the King of Chu from entering the capital, but it is not difficult for Prime Minister Lin to prevent the King of Chu from entering the capital for a period of time. I and Prince Xuan both believe that this matter will be done."

Lin Shufan put down the hot tea and said softly: "If you want to prevent the King of Chu from entering the capital, the people in the court alone cannot stop him. You also need the approval of the royal family."

Lu Xun said: "King Xuan is already communicating with the royal family. King Chu is still a prince. It is unreasonable to lead troops into the capital. Many people in the royal family have objections. King Chu directly led troops into the court, thinking that the enemy was attacking It’s very unfair to King Xuan of Chu Junxiong.”

"But none of them dared to come forward and ask the ancestor who was guarding the palace for instructions!" Lin Shufan said sharply.

Lu Xun smiled bitterly and said: "Indeed, so we need to find someone in the royal family who remains neutral and dares to offend King Chu to persuade the royal ancestor."

The royal family has three ancestors.

The third ancestor is with King Chu, the second ancestor is with King Xuan, and the first ancestor is in the palace.

If you want to prevent the King of Chu from entering the capital, you must get the great ancestor to agree.

Lin Shufan opened his dark and deep eyes and said quietly:

"The seventh prince in the palace is about to turn sixteen."

Lu Xun’s eyes brightened!

……………………

In the palace, there was a sound of frolics coming from the garden where the prince and princess lived.

A group of eunuchs and maids gathered around, nervously looking at the princes and princesses who were flying kites on the grass.

"Brother Twelve Emperors, please return the kite to me!"

"If you don't pay it back, I won't pay it back, how about that!"

"If you don't pay back, I will tell Brother Eight Emperors that you bullied me and let Brother Eight Emperors beat you until you cry!"

A very cute, pink and tender little girl of eight or nine years old stood on her waist and shouted to the little boy in the distance.

"Go and call, I'm not afraid of Brother Eight Emperors, Luo Luo Luo!"

The twelfth prince holding a kite string in the distance made a face to the fifteenth princess, and then continued to fly the kite.

"Woo~"

"you are bullying me!"

The fifteenth princess immediately started crying.

"Sister Huang, don't cry, I'll give you my kite, na!"

A seventeenth prince who was a little shorter than the fifteenth princess saw the fifteenth princess crying and quickly ran to her side holding the kite string and comforted her.

The fifteenth princess stopped crying immediately, with tears still remaining in the corners of her eyes. She stretched out her chubby hand to hold the kite string, and said thanks with a pouting mouth:

"Seventeen, it's better for you!"

Just when the fifteenth princess was about to hold the kite string, the seventeenth prince moved his hand back to avoid her hand, and then ran back quickly, mocking as he ran:

"Haha, sister Huang, you are a crybaby, even if you give me a little bit, I won't give it to you!"

The fifteenth princess was stunned, then her face suddenly turned red and she shouted:

"ah!"

"Seventeen, I'm going to beat you to tears!"

The fifteenth princess said angrily, with tears on her face, but she rushed towards the seventeenth prince with her teeth and claws open.

"Little, little, little, you can't catch me!" The naughty seventeenth prince nimbly dodged the fifteenth princess.

"Fifteen, I also have a kite here. Come and catch me. If you catch me, I will return the kite to you!"

The twelfth prince ran to the two people who were fighting and shouted.

"snort!"

The fifteenth princess would catch the seventeenth prince, and then the twelve princes, but she could never catch him.

"Ugh~ You are all bullying me!"

"Fifteen, don't be afraid. I'll help you catch Twelve and Seventeen."

At this time, the eleventh prince also ran over and stroked the fifteenth princess's soft hair to comfort her.

"Yeah, Fifteen, let's catch them together and beat them until they cry!" Princess Fourteen clenched her tender fists and ran to Princess Fifteen.

Seeing Eleven and Fourteen coming to help her, Princess Fifteen stopped crying, smiled, pointed at the two bad guys and said:

"Haha, you're done!"

So the three of them ran after the two little princes.

"Stop, don't run!"

"Just a little bit, I can't catch it, eh!"

"Wow, brother and sister, what are you playing? I want to play too."

"I want to play too, I want to play too!"

The little princes and princesses who were flying kites in the distance saw them playing around and joined in the chase.

"Hey, Your Highness, please be careful."

"Your Highness, don't run so fast!"

"Little ancestor!"

They were chasing and fighting, but they made the waiting maids and eunuchs anxious.

"It's okay, let them run more. If they fall, just fall, and they will get up on their own."

On the side, there were two teenagers of fifteen or sixteen years old, watching their younger brothers and sisters playing around and waving their hands casually.

"Haha, it's so fun!"

"Brother, it's your turn to catch us!"

"Haha, okay, you run away quickly!"

Soon the princes and princesses who were chasing and fighting had forgotten their original intention.

"Brother Seventh Emperor, Brother Eighth Emperor, you guys are coming too!"

A little princess who stopped walking looked at the seventh prince and eighth prince arriving in the distance and called out with their tender little hands.

The seventh prince and the eighth prince looked at each other and smiled helplessly.

Just kidding, they are all teenagers, why are they still messing around with a bunch of little guys?

…………

"Ah, run quickly, Brother Seventh Emperor is here to catch us~"

"Don't run over there, Brother Eighth Emperor has caught Brother Eleventh~" (End of Chapter)
