Chapter 2449 Game of Thrones

If Lin Mu knew Yuan Wei and Yuan Feng’s guesses, he might wake up laughing in his sleep.

From the beginning to the end, even the elite staff of the player group never doubted Lin Mu.

In fact, Yuan Feng's guess was correct. The Great Wilderness Territory could achieve such a level because of Xu Ying, and Xu Ying was currently a member of the eunuch camp.

"Unfortunately, when we asked Senior Red Dragon, it ignored us completely. Haha, an old dragon wants to stay out of it." Yuan Wei sneered.

"The situation in the court is relatively stable for the time being. As long as it remains stable, we should not act rashly." Yuan Feng said in a serious tone.

"How is the family manor being handled?" Yuan Wei asked in a low voice.

"Benchu ​​is very courageous. The situation in the north, which he is in charge of, has basically stabilized. He even made a fortune by using the grain that he had stockpiled early on. Even Bohai County is completely under his control." Yuan Feng stroked his beard lightly and smiled proudly.

"As for the south, the highway officials are still lacking in tact and are too aggressive and tough. However, those eunuchs over there are targeting them deliberately and have invested a lot of manpower and resources in them. There is nothing we can do about it. All the fourth-level hired servants have been disbanded." Yuan Feng restrained his smile slightly and said in a deep voice.

"I haven't been back to see those territories for a long time. How are they developing?" Yuan Wei asked.

"The territory is developing steadily because of the support of various talismans."

"How is the research on the Yin Shen method going?" Yuan Wei asked again.

"We have already started trying to convert them. Our ancestral temple is very popular and we can convert at least a hundred heroic spirits." Yuan Fengyi's face was filled with excitement when he said this.

"Are we going to completely transform the spirits of our ancestors? That would be a blasphemy to our ancestors!" Yuan Wei frowned.

"No, this method is quite magical. It just uses incense as a guide and the spiritual charm of the ancestral spirit tablet as a foundation to condense the god of incense."

"As long as the incense continues to burn and the spiritual charm of the ancestors' spirits is not extinguished, they can be resurrected infinitely and their strength will increase day by day."

"This operation to obtain the Yin God's method was the most successful one and played a significant role in increasing the family's foundation."

Yuan Feng spoke slowly and excitedly.

"Hehe... At this moment, Lin Mu is still chasing Zhang Ju in a daze. Brainless warrior..." Yuan Wei laughed contemptuously.

"A warrior is a warrior and he doesn't know how to manage things. The power of Longting has faded, except for the neutral Huangfu Song and Lu Zhi who have some affection for it. Away from the center of power, everything is bound to collapse." Yuan Feng nodded.

“However, in Youzhou, Lin Mu continues to deepen his efforts and shows signs of intending to get involved in the power of Youzhou.” Yuan Wei sneered.

"With Liu Yu in Youzhou this time, Lin Mu won't be able to cause any big waves in the desolate land of Youzhou."

“Hmph, you actually dared to drive away several of our students. You will later stir up conflict between Liu Yu and Lin Mu, and make them fight to the death.” Yuan Feng’s eyes flashed with murderous intent and he said in a serious tone.

“Unfortunately, we have always hoped to directly issue an imperial decree to remove Lin Mu from his position as the second-rank general of the guards, but several parties are not of one mind and are afraid of losing a life-saving straw.” Yuan Wei sipped a cup of fragrant tea and said calmly.

He and He Jinluo were in charge of the affairs of the Secretariat. With just a little manipulation and the cooperation of the two of them, and with Empress Dowager He, Empress Dowager Dong and the eunuchs not obstructing them, they could depose Lin Mu.

Lin Mu had already had a rift with the eunuchs, but the eunuchs and He Jin did not decide to depose Lin Mu immediately. Even Empress Dowager He opposed directly issuing an imperial decree to remove Lin Mu from office, but only summoned him to Luoyang to discuss the matter of deposing him.

Lin Mu already had the imperial decree, and it was reasonable for him to escape to the prairie to fulfill it. Therefore, they could not do anything to Lin Mu even though they had been delaying going to Beijing.

"Report!" At this moment, a low voice came from the gate of the courtyard.

"Come in." Yuan Wei glanced at Yuan Feng and said in a deep voice.

After a while, a steward walked in quickly and reported: "The stranger Jiang Chenglong tried to buy an official position from General He Jin and Zhang Rang, but was rejected. He now asks for permission to go to the palace to meet Empress Dowager He tomorrow."

"Oh, there is such a thing? What kind of official position did he buy? What's the price?" Yuan Wei chuckled.

"The price of the governor position is very generous. I haven't found out the exact price yet. But the number of Red Dragon Chapters is in the tens of millions."

My goodness, the news of Jiang Chenglong buying an official position has probably spread in Luoyang.

Upon hearing the number of Red Dragon Chapters, Yuan Wei and Yuan Feng both straightened their backs slightly.

They are now in great need of the Red Dragon Chapter, because consuming the Red Dragon Chapter can increase the spiritual charm of the ancestral spirit. It is very useful for the Yin God method.

"Stupid, he has already tried to buy an official position from He Jin, and after being rejected, he went to find Empress Dowager He... Haha, he can't understand the situation. No wonder he can't show up in public. He has the same shortsightedness as Lin Mu." Yuan Feng sneered.

"They can't play the game of thrones." Yuan Wei said lightly, his eyes full of contempt.

The two chatted for a while about various figures, including Cao Cao, Sun Jian and others.

After they talked about all the outstanding officials in the court, the butler slowly came in with Yuan Shu and Yuan Shao.

"Have you finished entertaining the guests from Bingzhou so quickly?" Yuan Wei asked meaningfully.

"We decided to summon him to see us, and as long as we told him the purpose, he was willing to cooperate. After discussing the details of the plan, we let him go." Yuan Shu responded with a respectful bow.

"You want to use Dong Zhuo to check and balance Ding Yuan?" Yuan Wei directly said another shocking piece of news.

In fact, in their eyes, it was already an open secret that Ding Yuan was summoned by He Jin to serve as Sili.

Especially since Yuan Shao had been ordered to suppress the bandits before, he had already fought with Ding Yuan. Even though Ding Yuan tried his best to hide and even pretended to retreat, Yuan Shao discovered the clues.

"Yes." Yuan Shao nodded. "Can you convince He Jin to summon Dong Zhuo to the capital?" Yuan Wei asked again.

The Yuan family did not have the authority to summon Dong Zhuo. Only General He Jin and others had this authority.

"No effort at all." Yuan Shao said with a smile.

"Mobilizing brave generals and heroes from all over the country is a risky move. If we are not careful, we will fall into an irretrievable situation. Have you thought about it?" Yuan Wei asked with a rare serious look on his face.

"It doesn't matter. It will just be a military remonstration. We won't let them take action. We will be the ones to actually execute the eunuchs!" Yuan Shao said meaningfully.

“Hmm!” Yuan Shu, who was standing next to him, saw Yuan Shao showing off in front of Yuan Wei and gave Yuan Shao a cold look.

"It's okay. With us here, nothing will go wrong." Yuan Feng waved his hand and said with a smile.

"We asked Empress Dowager He to execute the eunuchs. This is the easiest way. Unfortunately, she disagrees." Yuan Shu said gritting his teeth.

"Humph, she is also afraid that without the eunuchs' checks and balances, power will fall into the hands of others."

"Okay, there's no point in saying more. Since we've hired Dong Zhuo, let's promote him first. Let's promote him to general tomorrow." Yuan Wei said indifferently, as if the general, one of the four generals of the third rank, was a small official who could be promoted at will.

"Okay." Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu were both slightly happy.

Afterwards, the two of them left Yuan's mansion overnight and headed straight to the General's Mansion.

……

A night passed and dawn came.

The court meeting was held as scheduled.

There was another "vegetable market"-like debate, and after it ended, several resolutions came out.

One of them was that Dong Zhuo was promoted to the rank of third-rank general.

This was also the highest-ranking official Dong Zhuo had held so far, although it was not as high as the second-rank governor he wanted most.

In addition to Dong Zhuo's promotion, Yuan Shu of the Yuan family was also promoted to General of the Tiger Guards.

It seemed that promotion, even promotion by several ranks, was a common thing in the Dragon Court.

As certain characters are promoted and step onto the stage, the real game of thrones begins.

While there was movement on He Jin's side, the eunuchs were also busy and military forces were being mobilized.

Zhang Rang and others came down from the court with gloomy faces and remained silent.

During this court meeting, Empress Dowager He and His Majesty both sided with He Jin, so they suffered a great loss in today's promotion.

"My lord, Lin Mu has sent a messenger here." Xu Ying walked in with a burly general.

If there are remnants of the Yellow Turban Army here, they will definitely recognize that this man is called Sui Gu, a general of the Yellow Turban Army. Later, the Great Wilderness Territory was recaptured and he joined the Night Shadow Legion.

"Lin Mu?" Zhang Rang, Zhao Zhong and others frowned slightly when they heard this.

"Greetings, my lords. I have brought a letter from General Wei. Please take a look." Sui Gu handed a letter to Xu Ying, who gave it to Zhao Zhong.

Soon, Zhao Zhong finished reading the letter and handed it to Zhang Rang. After a while, everyone had finished reading the letter.

There isn't much to it:

[One million and four hundred thousand elite troops of the National Defense Army can march south.]

That’s right, Lin Mu directly supports them, at least for now.

There were signs that He Jin was summoning powerful generals from all directions to gather in Sili, which put pressure on the eunuchs.

They have always intended to control the military power of the Divine Capital Luoyang, and have not developed military forces outside. Those ambitious generals outside the Divine Capital are even less likely to support the eunuchs. Once the four powerful generals enter the capital, they will be in danger! !

Therefore, Lin Mu's move can be regarded as timely help!

With the Imperial Guards and Xiyuan Army inside and the National Protection Army and the National Defense Army outside, the pressure dropped sharply.

They believed in Lin Mu's letter without a doubt. Lin Mu was not a foolish person and it was right for him to stand on the right side at this moment. Moreover, they knew that Lin Mu had many treasures given by the previous emperor, which were very effective.

"Report!" At this moment, a eunuch hurried over and whispered something in Zhang Rang's ear.

"Reply to Lin Mu directly and tell him that his move is a timely help. Wait for our order." Zhao Zhong instructed Sui Gu.

"Yes! I'll take my leave." Sui Gu bowed respectfully and left the palace.

Then, Zhang Rang, who received the report, said meaningfully: "The Empress Dowager Dong summoned us to the Yongle Palace for a meeting. Dong Zhong, He Jin, and Empress Dowager He were also summoned."

"Haha...the show is about to begin." Zhao Zhong sneered.

This time, the fight was an internal fight between the relatives outside the family. (End of this chapter)
