The best little eunuch

Chapter 108
Chapter 108
Smiling, Lin Fengxin said: If you want to invite me to dinner, you have to show some sincerity.However, Lin Feng said it differently, and said: "My lords, I'm really sorry. You see, my illness is just right, and the emperor has assigned so many tasks. If I fail, even if the emperor Don't blame me, I'm ashamed to see the emperor. Is this the reason for the two adults?"

"Since Jue Lin said so, the old man will not force him, and leave." Li Henian said with a wave of his sleeve.

Seeing that Li Henian was gone, Liu Rufeng said, "Master Lin, would you like to go to the old man's mansion? There are still a few jars of good wine left in the old man's mansion."

"Liu Xiang, I'm really sorry. You see, I really have a lot of things right now. How about I go to Liu Xiang's mansion in person to apologize to Liu Xiang?" Lin Feng tactfully avoided it.At this time, he must maintain enough neutrality, otherwise, how can he appear to be impartial?

Of course, Lin Feng's so-called neutrality is relative to the relationship between Li Henian and Liu Rufeng. Now he wants to take this opportunity to support his own people to the top, so that he can also occupy a place in the court. It is best to form a three-legged situation. In that case, it would be in the best interest of the imperial court.

If there are only two parties, then the two parties will inevitably continue to fight. If things go on like this, it will be completely meaningless internal friction for the court. If a three-party force is formed, then a relative balance can be maintained. Everyone is afraid, but instead Will work harder for the court.

Looking at Lin Feng, Liu Rufeng was a little disappointed, but he still kept smiling, and said to Lin Feng: "Since Lord Lin is busy with official duties, let's choose another day. The old man welcomes Lord Lin at any time. The old man's jars of good wine have never been released." Sir Lin will keep it."

"Thank you Liu Xiang for your understanding." Lin Feng bent down and said to Liu Rufeng.

After the court was over, Lin Feng called Shen Xu and Ding Quan to his mansion and began to discuss this matter.

"Master Lin, I feel that since the emperor has entrusted all these matters to you, then Lord Lin will do a good job for the emperor." Ding Quan said: "Anyway, these people are not slandered. Just do business."

"Will this offend too many people?" Shen Xu asked.After all, these people were all from the camp of Li Henian and Liu Rufeng, and some were even core personnel. If Lin Feng took care of them all, he would completely offend Li Henian and Liu Rufeng.

Yang Jing, the Minister of Dali Temple who attended the meeting for the first time, said: "I think this is an opportunity for Lord Lin. It doesn't matter how many people are offended by this matter. The important thing is how much benefit we can get." ?”

"What's your opinion, Master Yang?" Lin Feng looked at Yang Jing and asked.

Glancing at the few ministers present, Yang Jing said, "Then the next official will throw a brick to attract jade."

"Master Yang, it's okay to say, we don't classify here, everyone can speak freely." Lin Feng said immediately.

"In this case, let me tell you my opinion." Yang Jing said: "My lord, most of the people locked up this time hold important positions, such as Minister of the Ministry of War, Yushi Zuodu, etc. , although not a first-class official, but the real power in his hands is not small."

"What does Master Yang mean?" Lin Feng asked.These humanities are like this. They like to say half of what they say, and let people guess, which is really painful.

"Excuse me, Lord Lin, even if we offend Li Henian and Liu Rufeng this time, as long as we get these positions, it will be worth it. At least, if Lord Lin controls these positions, it can be regarded as an occupation in the court. A place for you." After speaking, Yang Jing glanced at Lin Feng to see that he was not angry, and then continued: "To tell the truth, although the Sir is appreciated by the emperor, after all, he has no foundation and cannot compete with Li Henian and Liu Rufeng at all."

"What Master Yang said is very true." Lin Feng said.He agrees with Yang Jing's analysis, and now he can feel that he feels powerless in the court, because he has no one under him, and he has no advantage in the court.As for Xin Hong and his generals, they would not go to court when they had nothing to do.The military generals of the previous dynasty were basically those who were pampered in the capital, and they could not be counted on at all.

"However, this is also difficult. How can I ensure that all these positions fall into my own hands?" Shen Xu asked.He naturally hoped that Lin Feng could get these positions. In that case, as a veteran who followed Lin Feng, wouldn't that be of little benefit?

"This is indeed a problem." Lin Feng said.The most important thing is that the Zhengshitang is still in the hands of Liu Rufeng and Li Henian.Although I also have Ding Quan in the political affairs hall, but after all, his position is relatively low, and the right to speak is naturally much less.

"The lower officials have the guts to ask, does Lord Lin have the guts to turn against Li Henian and Liu Rufeng?" Ding Quan looked at Lin Feng and asked.He asked this question a bit outrageously, after all, he was considered Lin Feng's subordinate anyway, but it was really inappropriate to ask such a question.

Hearing Ding Quan's words, Lin Feng froze for a moment, and said, "Why don't you dare? What can Liu Rufeng and Li Henian do to me?"

"Okay." Ding Quan said loudly: "Since your lord is so determined, then I will give you my own suggestion."

Hearing what Ding Quan said, everyone looked at Ding Quan, waiting for his speech.

"If your lord does not hesitate to turn against Liu Rufeng and Li Henian, then all these people will be dealt with, and the case will be settled so that they have no possibility of overturning the case." Ding Quan said.The expression on his face could really be described as murderous and decisive, and there was also a hint of murderousness faintly.

"And then?" Lin Feng asked.Since Ding Quan asked himself to convict all of Li Henian and Liu Rufeng, there must be more to come.

Glancing at the ministers, Ding Quan continued: "My lord, have you ever thought about how much effort Li Henian and Liu Rufeng can do without these people?"

When Ding Quan asked, Lin Feng hadn't thought about it before, but now that Ding Quan asked, Lin Feng began to think about it.This time quite a lot of people were involved, almost seven or eight people from both parties were arrested and sent to prison.Among these people, including Yang Bing, Shangshu of the Ministry of War, and Li Keyan, the censor of Zuodu, these people can be regarded as the core figures of their respective camps.Once these people are all convicted, even if Li Henian and Liu Rufeng don't lose an arm, they will suffer a lot. At this time, it is obviously the time for their own development.

"Master Ding means that when Li Henian and Liu Rufeng are seriously injured, we take advantage of the situation to occupy these positions?" Lin Feng asked.

Nodding his head, Ding Quan said: "That's right. Li Henian and Liu Rufeng are seriously injured. They must have no way to counterattack. They can only watch the rise of the adults." After speaking, Ding Quan said hesitantly: "But... "

"But what? Mr. Ding said it's okay." Lin Feng asked.

Looking at Lin Feng, Ding Quan said: "However, the key to the success of this matter is the support of the emperor and the queen mother. Once Li Henian and Liu Rufeng are seriously injured, the emperor can actually take the opportunity to declare pro-government. Although the emperor I have not yet reached the age to be in charge, but this does not prevent the emperor from being in charge at this time."

"This... What if Li Henian and the others use the ancestral system to talk about it?" Lin Feng asked.After all, no matter what the emperor said, he was still a child. If the emperor announced his own government, it would indeed be inconsistent with the etiquette.

"It's up to you, my lord. As long as your lord has the absolute right to speak in the court, the matter of the emperor's personal administration will be settled." Looking at Lin Feng, Ding Quan said with a hint of meaning.

After thinking about Ding Quan's words carefully, Lin Feng realized that co-authoring Ding Quan was to let him use the emperor's personal affairs to make a deal with the emperor.As long as the emperor supports himself to take power in the court, he will support the emperor to govern himself.

Smiling, Lin Feng said in his heart: Unfortunately, you don't understand the relationship between me and the Queen Mother.I don't need to do it at all to make it work.

"Master Ding is such a clever plan." Lin Feng praised.Throughout the dynasties, there were not many people who dared to make deals with the emperor!Ding Quan dared to come up with such an idea, he was definitely not an ordinary person.

"It's just that you still need to communicate with the emperor more about this matter." Ding Quan said.

Seeing the exchange between Lin Feng and Ding Quan, Shen Xu was full of confusion, not knowing what they were talking about.But Yang Jing, who was the Minister of Dali Temple, understood the meaning of Ding Quan's words, just smiled without saying a word, quietly waiting for Lin Feng's decision.

"It's okay, I'll go to the palace in a while and talk to the emperor and queen mother about it." Lin Feng said.It just so happened that I was pretending to be sick, but I haven't been to the Queen Mother for a long time.Just take this opportunity to enhance the relationship between the three of them.Thinking of the three of them, someone smiled shamelessly.

Immediately, Lin Feng entered the palace.

and Queen Mother.After Qiu Xiang had a good meal, Lin Feng told the queen mother what Ding Quan said.

"Let the emperor take charge?" The queen mother looked at Lin Feng in surprise and asked.He didn't care about Chunguang being seen by Lin Feng.

Lin Feng hugged the Queen Mother in his arms and said, "That's right, let the emperor be in charge. The power of the royal family can only be controlled by the emperor, and cannot be controlled by others."

"But, will Li Henian agree?" the Queen Mother asked with some concern.

"Does the matter of the emperor depend on the eyes of the courtiers?" Lin Feng asked, "Besides, when the time comes, I still have my support in the court."

"However, since the emperor is not in charge, it is difficult to appoint your people to replace those positions." The queen mother said.After all, the queen mother is only listening to the government behind the curtain, and the emperor has not yet ruled in person, and the power of the court is still in the political affairs hall.Political affairs hall, that is Li Henian's one-word hall.Although Ding Quan has now taken refuge with him, Li Henian still has an absolute advantage in the political affairs hall.

Patting his head, Lin Feng said: "This is really difficult." Now that the emperor wants to be in charge, he needs Lin Feng's people to occupy important positions; and Lin Feng's people need the emperor's support to occupy these positions. This is really a dilemma on both sides.The two things can only be done easily if the other party is the premise.

"Well, let's take it slow. At tomorrow's court meeting, first promote a few people, and then gradually arrange our people to these positions. We won't make big moves all at once." Lin Feng said.This is similar to boiling a frog in warm water. As long as it is not too extreme, there must be no big problem.

After thinking about it carefully, the queen mother said: "That's all."

Since so many things happened in the court at once, it is obviously impossible to hold the court meeting every three days.So, the meeting was changed by Lin Feng to once a day.
