That’s right, it’s about clearing out the imperial court!
The so-called "clearing the emperor's side" means eliminating the treacherous ministers around the emperor.
Now, Wei Yunyi leads an army of 200,000 to personally march south to conquer the Baiyue.
Originally, this could be considered a good thing. If we were victorious, it would bring many benefits to the court and the country.
But at this critical moment, His Majesty actually stayed in the palace, completely ignoring the expedition and enjoying himself in the palace. For Lin Chong, this was not a good sign and he had to stop it.
And who is the culprit behind this situation?
The answer is self-evident.
Wang Jin, who accompanies Your Majesty every day and is trusted by Your Majesty!
So the one who was purged from the imperial court was Wang Jin.
Lin Chong believed that as long as he accomplished this, His Majesty would pay attention to this war again.
After all, there are 200,000 troops. How can we just bring them out for a stroll and do nothing?
In his opinion, Your Majesty did this because he was bewitched by Wang Jin.
Without this person, everything would be solved.
only.
Lin Chong knew very well that this kind of thing could not be done recklessly. If he angered His Majesty, he would be punished at the least, but if it delayed the progress of the southern expedition and failed to achieve the goal of eliminating Wang Jin, then the loss would outweigh the gain.
Therefore, he must plan carefully, especially this matter, it is best not to spread it out.
If there are treacherous ministers around the emperor and some people want to purge him of his presence, it will affect the morale of the army and even cause chaos.
Finally, after thinking about it, Lin Chong decided that he must discuss this matter with others.
Moreover, the person who discusses the matter must be of noble status and hold real power.
Of course, before this, he had already shortlisted the candidates: the father-in-law Song Gongwen, the Minister of War Lin Yuansong, and of course, the General Lu An of Zhennan.
The first two positions are easy to understand. They are both cabinet ministers and real important officials of the court. One of them is the father-in-law of the current emperor, the father of the empress and the Marquis of Guanjun.
In this southern expedition, if we only talk about status, he is second only to Your Majesty.
There is also Lin Yuansong, who also has the title of Cabinet Grand Secretary.
It is normal to discuss things with these two people.
As for why we need to add General Lu An, the Southern Guardian, it is actually very simple.
Lu An is the commander-in-chief of the southern expedition army and the highest-ranking person in the military. Apart from His Majesty, he has the power to control an army of 200,000.
Notifying this person was to have him stabilize the army heading south. After all, this matter was too big, and the military needed someone who could stabilize it. However, Lin Chong was only the commander-in-chief of the Imperial Camp and had nothing to do with the army, so Lu An had to come.
Of course, there is a more important point, that is, Lin Chong worked with Lu An for a period of time in his early years.
Although they had not been in contact for a long time, he knew that this person was loyal to the court.
Moreover, he has been guarding the southern border for many years and is clearly qualified to be promoted to general.
However, he never made such a request to the court.
so.
This is a very trustworthy person.
As long as these three people are contacted, it means that both civil officials and military generals are brought onto the same line. In this way, eliminating Wang Jin will become much easier.
However, Lin Chong understood one thing very clearly, that is, even if Wang Jin was really a treacherous man who had bewitched His Majesty.
But no matter what, he is still your Majesty's man. Especially the action of clearing the court, although it was for your Majesty and the court, it was not reported to your Majesty after all, which offended your Majesty's dignity and was a big mistake.
So he had already made up his mind that once this matter was successful, he would take the initiative to apologize, and it would not matter whether His Majesty wanted to kill him or shave him.
If this matter fails, there will be only one outcome.
But no matter what the consequences are.
Lin Chong will take full responsibility.
This is for the Great Wei, for the country, for His Majesty,
He, Lin Chong, is willing to sacrifice his life!
After making up his mind, he felt that there was no time to lose, so he set off without hesitation.
...
"Commander Lin, it's so late, what do you want from us?"
In a mansion in Zhennanguan City, Lin Yuansong, wearing a loose robe and sleepy-eyed, spoke with confusion and a hint of dissatisfaction.
It was already late at night and he had already fallen asleep, but he was called to Song Gongwen's residence. When he heard that it was Lin Chong, the commander-in-chief of the Imperial Camp, he felt helpless.
There was no way. He was a civil servant and was not as energetic as a military general. It was so late and he was completely exhausted and just wanted to rest.
But he felt that it was Commander Lin's intention, and he understood that it was not a trivial matter, so he persisted.
"Yes, Commander Lin."
At this time, Song Gongwen also spoke up and asked, "Did something happen?"
He was not as distressed as Lin Yuansong, because he would also be in this situation when handling official business in the capital.
However, he felt very strange. Logically speaking, he had no connection with the commander of the Imperial Front Camp. Even if something happened, it wouldn't be his fault.
"Please be patient, my two lords. I will explain everything once everyone is here." Lin Chong replied, feeling a little embarrassed.
But the matter was of great importance, and he could not care less.
Waiting for everyone to arrive?
When the two heard this, they frowned slightly. Is there someone else?
Sure enough, about a cup of tea later, the tall General Lu An of Zhennan, dressed in armor, walked into the hall and bowed slightly to everyone as a greeting.
But this scene made Song Gongwen narrow his eyes, and there was a brewing of anger between his brows.
