Even Lin Yuansong was completely awake at this time. He looked at Lin Chong and said in a bad tone, "Commander Lin, what do you mean by calling me, Lord Song, and General Lu together?"
It’s no wonder these two are so serious, because if someone with a little common sense and who doesn’t know the inside story were to see it, they would definitely be the same.
This time, His Majesty the Emperor personally led the army, and the highest-ranking civil servant was present among his entourage.
As for the military generals, Lu An, the commander-in-chief of Nanzhen, also came.
Even the commander-in-chief of the imperial camp who is supposed to protect the emperor appears here. What does this mean?
This means that all the people with the highest status and the most power under His Majesty have gathered together. If something were to happen, it would be a disaster!
Precisely because they knew this, both Song Gongwen and Lin Yuansong were angry, feeling that Lin Chong had crossed the line.
Lu An also noticed that the atmosphere was a little strange, and immediately turned to look at Lin Chong.
Although he did not carry a sword, he had been through hundreds of battles and had already developed a murderous aura. In addition, his martial arts level was not low, so he gave people a strong sense of oppression.
Although he was not in the capital, he had always been loyal to his duties and fought for the country. Now seeing this scene, he felt a little angry.
"Everyone." Lin Chong had naturally anticipated this situation. After all, the people present all played an important role in this southern expedition to Baiyue. It was normal for them to have such a reaction after he summoned them all.
He took a deep breath and then said, "I have summoned you all here for a major matter, but this matter is for the smooth progress of this southern expedition against the Baiyue people. It is also for the benefit of the Wei Empire. If you trust me, please listen to my explanation."
Those present were either cabinet ministers or generals guarding a certain area.
Both in rank and power, he was far superior to Lin Chong.
It is reasonable to call me a humble person.
certainly.
Since only the emperor could command the Imperial Camp, there was no need to be so polite to them.
But now, Lin Chong put himself in a very humble position and spoke in a very sincere tone.
After hearing this, the expressions of the three people present began to relax.
No one knows about other things.
But everyone still understands Lin Chong.
The commander-in-chief of the Imperial Guard, personally selected by the late emperor, has been diligent and loyal to his duties for many years, guarding the imperial palace without making any mistakes.
Especially Song Gongwen, because his son had served in the Imperial Camp for a period of time, he also commented that although Lin Chong was not very smart, inflexible, and a bit pedantic, his loyalty was impeccable.
In other words, it is blind loyalty, and this loyalty is to His Majesty and to the Great Wei.
So after hearing the other party speak, he stepped forward, signaled everyone present to calm down, and then looked at Lin Chong and said, "Commander Lin, I believe in your character. If there is anything, just speak up!"
The other two people didn't say much and just waited quietly.
Lin Chong took a deep breath and said directly, "To be honest, ever since His Majesty entered the palace, he has been drinking and having fun every day, hanging out with those singing and dancing girls, from morning till night, without stopping. The reason why you haven't seen His Majesty is because of this."
When these words were spoken, everyone present was completely shocked and found it unbelievable.
Because these days, they have been wanting to meet His Majesty and want to know the next plan for this southern expedition.
But we never see him. Some people can't even get in the door. No one knows what His Majesty is doing.
Originally, they thought that His Majesty was a little tired after the long march.
So I want to take a break.
But I didn't think about it.
However, Lin Chong's words did not convince everyone. Lin Yuansong walked out and said coldly, "Commander Lin, His Majesty is a sage king throughout history. How could you do such a thing? Aren't you afraid that His Majesty will punish you for disrespect?"
"Lord Lin." At this time, Song Gongwen came out and said in a deep voice, "Let the commander-in-chief finish first."
Lin Chong continued, explaining, "Lord Lin, I know very well that Your Majesty is a sage king of all ages and would never do such a thing. But even Your Majesty, as wise and powerful as he is, can be deceived by villains. And the reason Your Majesty did this was because he was deceived by a villain!"
Villain?
When the three heard this, they immediately became confused.
Because they don't know who this so-called villain is.
Lin Chong naturally saw the confusion in everyone's eyes. He took a deep breath and said directly, "This villain is Wang Jin!"
He immediately told everyone all his previous guesses, especially the fact that Wang Jin sent those singing and dancing girls into the palace, and the news he had found out.
In short, there is only one meaning, that is, Your Majesty is like this because you have been deceived by the villain!
"Wang Jin?"
Before anyone else could speak, Lu An, the General of Zhennan, frowned and said, "Although I'm not in the capital, I've heard of this eunuch Wang. Rumor has it that he's the most trusted eunuch of His Majesty, controlling the Eastern Depot and holding immense power. He has spies not only in the capital, but also in the various government offices. No major event can escape his notice."
There was no way. Wang Jin was too famous. Even after he became the head of the East Factory, he only dealt with Li Fang.
But every court official knew how powerful the East Factory was and how many informants it had.
Especially for the officials in the capital.
You don't have to be afraid of being impeached by the Censorate.
They may not be afraid of the Dali Temple, the Ministry of Justice and other government offices, but they cannot help but feel fear when they hear the name of the East Factory.
