Lu Yanzhou closed his eyes and rested. "He has connections with Wenchang Tower, and Wenchang Tower has connections with Song Yushu. This person cannot be reused."
"Then you..." The strategist was puzzled. Why did Lu Yanzhou bring Jiang Wenpu with him as his number one strategist?
"As long as he's by my side, Song Yushu will be a little wary." Lu Yanzhou suddenly opened his eyes, his eyes full of possessiveness, "Song Yushu can only be mine."
The counselor lowered his head and dared not speak. After all, everyone knew that Song Yushu was obviously biased towards King Jing. After all, Song Yushu came from King Jing's mansion, and King Jing's favor for Song Yushu was known to everyone in Dayan.
The carriage arrived at the palace unimpeded, and Lu Yanzhou went to meet the emperor without stopping.
The downfall of the Lin Mansion—how many years had the Emperor and himself been thinking about this? Lu Yanzhou told the Emperor everything about Concubine Yue's coming to seek refuge.
"Will Prince Jing really allow the Lin Mansion to be destroyed?" The emperor narrowed his eyes, somewhat unbelieving. Without the Lin Mansion, Prince Jing would have no strong support.
Just like when the emperor ascended the throne, he relied on the power of the Lin Mansion. After all, Old Master Lin’s disciples were all over Dayan, and after the Lin Mansion’s operation over the years, most of the people in the court were attached to the Lin Mansion.
After all, the Queen and the Queen Mother were still there, and even Old Master Lin was there.
Lu Yanzhou lowered his eyes for a moment, "After all, he doesn't want to be another puppet, right?"
Just like him, he only has the title of prince and has no control over anything.
The emperor clearly didn't understand his son's thoughts. He glanced over the items Lu Yanzhou had brought. "Madam Yue's beating of the drum to submit reports is only the beginning. If we want the Lin family to never recover, we must strike them dead in one blow. We must not allow them a chance to rise."
"That's what I think too. So I plan to send troops to surround the Lin Mansion. When chaos breaks out, I'll enter and capture the Japanese royal family sorcerer on the spot." Lu Yanzhou bowed and asked for permission. "I hope your Majesty will approve!"
"Sending troops is certainly more reliable." The emperor hesitated. "If we can't intercept them on the spot, won't that give the Lin family an excuse to make things difficult for the court?"
Lu Yanzhou had already discussed this matter with his advisors. The emperor was always cautious, so there was no way he would step in. Lu Yanzhou knelt on his knees and said, "Father, I have considered this matter, so I have decided to send my own guards. If we fail to hit the target in one blow, I will bear the responsibility alone!"
The emperor looked at Lu Yanzhou without saying anything. After thinking it over, he walked over to his side and looked at him approvingly. "Thank you for your hard work."
"Your son is doing this for the wild geese. The Lin family has relied on their status as an in-law to do evil for so many years, causing unrest in the court and misery for the people. Your son will never let them have another chance to harm the world!" Lu Yanzhou looked at the emperor with firm eyes.
Finally, the emperor discussed the subsequent matters with Lu Yanzhou and then let Lu Yanzhou leave.
After Lu Yanzhou left the imperial study, he went straight to Concubine Yu's palace, "Your son pays his respects to your mother."
After hearing what the Crown Prince said, Concubine Yu pondered over it again and again, "What if Prince Jing and the Lin family teamed up to deliberately lure you into this?"
Leading troops to surround the residence of a minister and the emperor's uncle is no small matter. What's more, Lu Yanzhou actually wants to enter the Lin Mansion.
"Absolutely impossible." Lu Yanzhou shook his head. "Although I don't have much friendship with King Jing, we are brothers after all. I understand him."
After all, his opponent back then was King Jing, not King Yu.
Concubine Yu sighed softly, shook her head, and poured her son a cup of tea. "Since you already have an idea about this matter, there is nothing for me to worry about. After all, you are old enough and have your own ideas."
"Even if I climb up there, I am still your son." Lu Yanzhou immediately knelt down and expressed his loyalty to Concubine Yu.
Concubine Yu didn't show it on her face, but she was still proud in her heart. She helped Lu Yanzhou up and said, "Mother knows that you are a man who values friendship and loyalty, but this matter is of great importance, so it's better for you to take Qin Li with you."
Qin Li was the commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guard and the nephew of Concubine Yu.
Lu Yanzhou lowered his eyes and a trace of disgust flashed across his face, but he didn't show it. "Yes, mother, don't worry."
After Concubine Yu gave some more instructions, Lu Yanzhou left Concubine Yu's palace and got directly into his carriage.
The counselor following behind him took a look at Qin Li who was following behind him, and immediately understood. He could only be more cautious and even dared not breathe too loudly.
"Return to the mansion, gather the troops, and head straight to Lin Mansion!" Lu Yanzhou glanced at the counselor coldly.
"Yes, Your Highness."
The Lin Mansion before the storm.
Old Master Lin looked at his most proud work, his eyes filled with regret, "Pu'er, the Lin family has never treated you unfairly for a single day, why do we have to go to this point?"
Amidst the smoke and the faint sound of the piano, Lu Zhixing's face was a little blurry. He closed his eyes and raised the corners of his mouth. "Grandfather, when did the Lin family need to talk about feelings?"
From childhood to adulthood, the old man never taught us the word friendship. All he taught us was interests, and what to do was beneficial to oneself and the Lin family.
"The Lin family really doesn't need it. You and I need it. From childhood to adulthood, even your uncle can't compare to you. Without my teaching, could you have come this far?" The old man coughed lightly, half lying weakly on the chair, his face already starting to turn purple.
The medicine he had been using in his room these past two days was hastening his death.
Lu Zhixing nodded. "So, I have always admired my grandfather. But he also taught me that anyone who gets in my way should be eliminated. Is that right?"
"Yes, it's my fault." Old Master Lin coughed several times, and Lin Zong beside him wiped the blood from his lips. "Pu'er, you can chant sutras for your grandmother for one more day today, and then go back home. From now on, the Lin Mansion has nothing to do with you."
Lu Zhixing opened his eyes. When Old Master Lin was still conscious, he felt as if Lu Zhixing was looking at him with pity.
He stood up, straightened his sleeves solemnly, and kowtowed three times to Old Master Lin.
At that moment, the old man seemed to recall the time when Lu Zhixing taught him.
Once upon a time, this grandson was his pride, and he asserted that he would be the support of the Lin family for hundreds or even thousands of years. When did he become like this?
Blame it on his blindness. A useless person in the Lin Mansion, even if he is a prince, he is still a waste...
Old Master Lin sighed, used up all his strength, and waved his hand.
"You go—"
When Lu Zhixing entered the inner room, the last ray of light suddenly burst out from Old Master Lin's gray eyes. He held Lin Zong's hand tightly and stared at him intently.
"The Lin Mansion must not fall! Capture him no matter what!"
