Chapter 257 The Lin Family Retreats
The eldest master of the Lin family roared angrily, but no one cared.
Even the queen has lost her dignity, let alone him.
The guard punched the man directly and he fell unconscious.
Liu Rumei looked at Tang Mingchen. Now the old man of the Lin family was in the main hall, and they had all been driven out.
"Should we eavesdrop?"
Liu Rumei's suggestion made Tang Mingchen's heavy mood lighter.
As expected of Mei'er, there seems to be nothing wrong with eavesdropping.
It was just unnecessary. He didn't care what countermeasures they discussed.
Because he was not going to let them go, not even one of them, including his own father!
"Let's go."
"You really don't want to eavesdrop?"
Liu Rumei still wanted to go and listen, she was really curious.
Besides, she has the equipment!
"Don't make trouble, there are experts guarding our father."
"Really? It's better to be an emperor. You can have everything you want. But I have super hearing!"
Tang Mingchen: ...Super Ear?
"Meier, did you hear what they were saying?"
"nature!"
Liu Rumei looked around and found the nearest house, which was quite quiet.
"Close your eyes, I'll give you a little surprise."
After Liu Rumei said this, Tang Mingchen really closed his eyes.
Liu Rumei took out a small black box from her own space. She had found this eavesdropping device at the end of the world.
She wasn't sure how effective it would be.
Liu Rumei turned on the device, adjusted the band, and heard the sound.
"I am ashamed!"
Tang Mingchen suddenly opened his eyes and looked at the black box in shock.
"This……"
"Don't talk, let's listen to what they are discussing first."
Tang Mingchen could only suppress his inner shock and listen carefully to the conversation between the two.
At this moment in the hall, the emperor also smiled coldly.
"Mr. Lin, I am so disappointed.
I thought that although you wanted to help the crown prince succeed to the throne, you would not do something so absurd as rebellion. "
When the emperor said this, Prime Minister Lin looked at the emperor and answered solemnly.
"Your Majesty, my Lin family has done our best for your Majesty over the years.
From assassinating the princes to conquering the big families, when have I ever disappointed Your Majesty?"
Prime Minister Lin mentioned the merits first to let the emperor face the facts. Their Lin family is also capable and grateful.
"What Prime Minister Lin said makes sense. If it weren't for your Lin family's support to me, do you think you would still be able to stand here and speak?"
The old man of the Lin family acted very terrified, but no one knew what he was really thinking.
“Your Majesty, I have failed to educate my son and daughter well. Whether it is the Queen or my unfilial son, they have made a big mistake after all.
Today, I, an old minister, will hand them over to Your Majesty together with the Crown Prince, as a token of the sincerity of my Lin family.
My Lin family has indeed been plotting to seize the position of crown prince for many years, but now we have cut off our own arm and have put an end to this ambition.
Your Majesty, my Lin family no longer has anyone to rely on, and from now on we can only rely on you, Your Majesty."
The emperor was very satisfied with what the old man of the Lin family said. In fact, he also guessed what the Lin family meant.
Now that the Queen and the Crown Prince are both deposed, the Lin family’s twenty-year plan has come to nothing, so they naturally have no choice but to surrender.
He has wanted the Lin family to surrender for so many years, and now he finally got it, he still finds it a little hard to believe.
"What is Prime Minister Lin's plan?"
The emperor asked this because he wanted to see where the Lin family's retreat was and where their bottom line was.
"The Lin family will leave Kyoto and return to their hometown. From now on, all the people and horses in the Lin family will belong to Your Majesty."
Liu Rumei was shocked when she heard this, what?
He did so much just to go back to his hometown?
The emperor was shocked!
The Lin family is the most powerful family in Kyoto. If I hand them all over to myself, I can at least put several large families under my control.
"What about the Sun and Zhang families? Do they think so too?"
When the emperor asked this, the old man of the Lin family sighed.
“Your Majesty, the Sun family and the Zhang family used to be vassals of the Lin family.
Now that the Lin family has left, the Sun family and the Zhang family will naturally obey your majesty's orders."
The emperor was very happy. From then on, he was no longer tied to the Lin family and had the submission of two more families.
This is a good deal no matter how you look at it.
However, he still had some hesitation.
If we let them go like this, will there ever be a day when they can make a comeback?
The old man of the Lin family coughed twice and said, "Your Majesty, I am old and my descendants are not very promising. I just want to retire and return home."
These words made the emperor completely relieved. The Lin family has already reached such a situation, what else can be done?
"If Your Majesty can agree to my retirement and return home, I believe everyone will be moved by Your Majesty's kindness and tolerance."
The emperor felt very good, as this was a win-win situation.
Liu Rumei looked at Tang Mingchen and she felt that the emperor was not smart enough.
"What on earth is this old man from the Lin family doing? If he really wants to rebel, he might succeed."
Liu Rumei said this, and Tang Mingchen nodded.
Yes, it really could work, as long as they don't interfere.
These guards are really not tough guys and their fighting ability is very average.
If we really bring 20,000 people here, it will be hard to determine the outcome.
"So why did he back off? Because there was something that was a sure-fire way? A surefire way?"
Liu Rumei asked this, and Tang Mingchen looked at her and thought that what she said made sense.
"He must have other plans to retreat in order to advance."
Liu Rumei and Tang Mingchen were both very sure of this, but they just hadn’t figured out what the plan was yet.
"The old man of the Lin family is protected by experts, so it is not easy to find out his plan."
After hearing what Tang Mingchen said, Liu Rumei thought about it and realized that she was actually not completely without a solution.
"You must have arranged someone in the Lin family, right?"
There was a cunning light in Liu Rumei's eyes. Tang Mingchen nodded, and then saw her start to think.
"I need something that won't look out of place in the study."
Liu Rumei said this, and Tang Mingchen thought about it.
"There must be a pen holder in the study, and a brush is indispensable."
Liu Rumei thought this was a good idea. Now all she had to do was put the eavesdropping equipment on the brush.
"Let's go, I have an idea."
After Liu Rumei returned, she went to look for a jade carving master because he was deft and could make the work flawless.
"This needs to be placed in the study, and then taken back quietly before the Lin family leaves."
Liu Rumei said this while holding a brush in her hand. Even if the Lin family discovered it, they would not be able to find out what it was.
But she was really curious about what the old man of the Lin family was planning.
Tang Mingchen took the brush and left. His people were reliable and they would definitely be able to do it.
However, within one day, the crown prince and queen rebelled and were deposed, and three days later the news of their execution spread throughout Kyoto.
Xie Linlang couldn't believe it, and could even be said to be stunned.
