Wu Xueqin is dead.
This news quickly reached Yandu.
Wu Tiande gripped the chess piece, his old body trembling uncontrollably.
Wu Xueqin is his eldest daughter, whom he doted on since childhood and raised as if she were a son.
Unexpectedly, he was killed by a little bastard!
Lin Yuanlong stood silently to the side.
Wu Xueqin was a vicious woman; she deserved to die.
However, his wish to grant Lin Yubo a hereditary title is now likely to be difficult!
Sure enough, after a long silence, Wu Tiande slowly stood up and said calmly, "Disobeying orders and showing no respect for the law, I think we should forget about the matter of the heir apparent!"
"Father-in-law!" Lin Yuanlong quickly stood up and said calmly, "Wu Xueqin was the one who betrayed the country first. Lin Yu's killing of her was not entirely for personal gain. Besides, he has made such a great contribution, so it is only right for him to become the heir apparent!"
"Merit is merit, and fault is fault!" Wu Tiande said calmly. "Does he think he can do whatever he wants just because he has some merit? Such a person is not fit to be a commander-in-chief!"
Lin Yuanlong, not to be outdone, immediately retorted: "If even the principle of clear rewards and punishments cannot be upheld, it would surely discourage the meritorious officials!"
"If my son Lin Yu cannot become the heir apparent, then there is no need for me to be the commander-in-chief! I hereby announce to the world my resignation!" Lin Yuanlong waved his sleeve and turned to the side.
"Lin Yuanlong, what are you trying to do? Are you trying to force me to abdicate, or are you planning a rebellion?" Wu Tiande shouted angrily.
Once Lin Yuanlong is disarmed.
This has really blown up!
A massive earthquake is likely to strike the entire Great Xia!
Other coaches will also have their own ideas!
The reason why the twelve tribes of the Great Xia Dynasty have such a stable situation is entirely due to these loyal ministers. If something happens in the Northeast, it will affect the whole situation!
Moreover, if the Iron Pagoda is lost, who will guard the northern frontier?
Relying on those old fogies from those aristocratic families?
You can't do it!
Lin Yuanlong said coldly, "I recommended Lin Yu as commander-in-chief, and Heaven can bear witness that it is for the stability of Great Xia! It is not for my own selfish desires! No one knows Fengfu better than me. Apart from my son Lin Yu, no one can defend the territory of the Northern Kingdom!"
"You!" Wu Tiande was immediately furious.
"Enough!"
Just then, a shout suddenly came from outside.
An elderly figure, supported by his secretary, slowly walked in.
This man was already in his eighties, his old body trembling, but his eyes were bright and piercing!
"Grand Secretary!"
The two men's expressions changed slightly, and they stood up to greet them.
"Your Excellency, it's so late, what brings you here?" Wu Tiande stepped forward and personally helped the old man to a chair.
This is a cabinet elder!
He's a generation older than Wu Tiande!
"Cough cough cough!"
The Grand Secretary coughed twice and said in a hoarse voice, "Yuanlong! You've certainly raised a fine son!"
Lin Yuanlong quickly replied, "Your Excellency is too kind. My son has been away from home for many years and has done everything on his own. It has nothing to do with me, his father!"
The Grand Secretary nodded, "Such a self-reliant and strong child is even more rare! He's far more promising than the spoiled brats of us!"
The Grand Secretary sighed and continued, "If we want to govern our country well, we must select the virtuous and capable, and not avoid relatives when recommending the virtuous. You have done a very good job!"
Wu Tiande sensed something amiss in this conversation and quickly said, "Your Excellency, while Lin Yu possesses some military talent, he lacks a strategic vision. He may be a general, but he is certainly not a commander-in-chief! Moreover, he is too young; I fear he is ill-suited to shoulder great responsibilities!"
The Grand Secretary waved his hand, “Ambition knows no age. Huo Qubing was enfeoffed as a marquis at the age of eighteen and sealed the Wolf-Dwelling Mountain at the age of twenty-one!”
"Young people are naturally sharp-tongued, it's normal for them to show their talents. After a few years of honing their skills in the position of heir apparent, with Yuan Long personally guiding them, they will eventually become more mature!"
"But……"
Before Wu Tiande could say anything more, the Grand Secretary waved his hand, yawned, and said, "Alright! We five old folks will get him a second stamp later. Let's settle this matter then!"
After saying that, he stood up and, with the help of his secretary, walked outside.
The two quickly got up to see him off.
Straightening up, Wu Tiande's face looked very unpleasant.
The Grand Secretary's words were the final word.
Although he was an elder, he had to respect the Grand Secretary's decision!
Lin Yuanlong cupped his hands in greeting, "Father-in-law, you flatter me!"
Wu Tiande clenched his fists tightly and said coldly, "Lin Yuanlong, don't be too smug! To be appointed as the heir apparent, you not only need the seal of the cabinet, but also the recommendation of the three marquises from within the pass, Guanzhong, and outside the pass! Get the recommendation letters from the three marquises first, and then talk about the seal of the cabinet! Hmph!"
Wu Tiande snorted coldly and left with a flick of his sleeve.
Lin Yuanlong stood there dumbfounded, and suddenly felt a headache coming on.
Although Guan Sanhou was one rank lower than him, they were not subordinate to each other.
The existence of the Three Marquises is equivalent to that of military supervisors, and their purpose is to curb the power of the Fengfu Commander-in-Chief!
Moreover, most of those who could become marquises had aristocratic family backgrounds.
Of the three marquises—those from within the pass, those from the middle of the pass, and those from outside the pass—only the Marquis of Guannei had a good personal relationship with Lin Yuanlong.
As for the Marquis of Guanzhong, he was related to the Wu family by marriage, and he mostly acted under the orders of the Wu family.
Although the Marquis of Guanwai was located in the territory of the three provinces of Fengfu, he lived in a remote area and rarely interacted with the outside world.
The most difficult person to deal with right now is this Marquis of Guanzhong. Getting a letter of recommendation from him will probably not be easy.
Lin Yuanlong shook his head helplessly, "Yu'er! You've really given your father a big problem!"
That night.
Not many people know what happened.
More than a dozen confidential documents of the Great Xia Dynasty were almost stolen by the Japanese ninja school!
The covert war is a war fought beneath the surface.
No one knew that a young man had made an unparalleled contribution to the war tonight!
early morning.
Blind massage.
Lu Xueqing was dozing off on the sofa.
Lin Yu and Su Yingxue did not return home that night.
She spent the entire night in anxiety.
Although Feng Jiu had repeatedly assured her that the two of them would be safe and sound, how could she not be at ease until she saw them return!
"Xueqing!"
Just then, a disheveled, delicate figure slowly walked into the shop.
"Yingxue?"
Lu Xueqing opened her eyes and rushed over, hugging her shoulders. "Yingxue, what happened to you? Where are you hurt?"
At this moment, Su Yingxue was covered in dust and dirt, her clothes were torn, and she looked extremely disheveled.
Her beautiful eyes welled up with tears, and she burst into sobs, "Xueqing, I'm so sorry, Lin Yu, Lin Yu, he..."
Lu Xueqing's beautiful eyes trembled, and she asked in a trembling voice, "What happened to Lin Yu? Tell me!"
Lin Yu... he's dead!
Buzz!
Lu Xueqing's mind went completely blank!
