Chapter 286: King Tang Circling the Pillar

At this critical moment, the fastest reaction was Lin Chen and Shangguan Wan'er.

Shangguan Wan'er's eyes were as cold as frost, and she slapped Natuhalu.

The latter flew back several meters and then stopped moving.

Compared with Qin Wuyang, who was originally killed by a random knife, he died more simply.

Lin Chen reminded loudly: "Your Majesty, you have a sword!"

Hearing this, Li Zhao subconsciously reached for his waist.

This Emperor's Sword is more used as a decoration.

But Li Zhao couldn't care so much at the moment.

She looked at the dagger in Kule's hand, and instinctively told herself that it was best not to be hurt by this thing.

However, Lin Chen looked at Li Zhao, who was a congenital master, but was a little confused under Kule's desperate attack.

Several big Han generals who reacted rushed towards Kule and were about to capture him.

But these burly generals were just for show, without any martial arts skills.

After just one encounter, Kule broke his neck and tore his shoulder, and he couldn't even stop him!

Shangguan Wan'er was very anxious when she saw this, and she was about to step forward to save him.

"Is this the Qin King circling the pillar?"

Lin Chen was complaining about Li Zhao, who was chased by Kule and had to walk around the pillar in the hall.

I don't know if there will be an allusion of the Tang King circling the pillar in this world.

Of course.

Lin Chen didn't need to watch any more.

[Ding, history repeats itself: Kule stabs the Tang King]

[Get special reward:......]

He attacked after hearing the system sound in his ear.

The next moment, Kule suddenly heard a strong wind behind his ear, and he was about to turn his head and fight back with a shock in his mind.

Click!

Lin Chen grabbed his knife-holding hand and exerted a little force.

With his arm broken but the fierce light in his eyes still undiminished, Kule rushed towards Lin Chen like a madman.

It seemed that he knew he could not kill Li Zhao, and he also planned to drag Lin Chen to death with him.

However, in front of Lin Chen, his plan failed.

Lin Chen just raised his hand and slapped his chest lightly.

Puff!

Kule opened his mouth and switched to the short knife in his other hand. He had just raised it halfway, and everything was over.

A spot of blood oozed rapidly in the middle of his chest.

The next moment, there was a loud bang! !

A large area of ​​blood exploded, and a fist-sized blood hole suddenly appeared in his chest.

"You...what...?!!!" Kule was sweating all over his head, looking at his chest in disbelief.

The severe pain made him feel like he was in a dream for a while, and he didn't believe the facts in front of him at all.

Bang!

As Kule's body fell to the ground, the hall was in chaos from the dead silence just now.

"Protect His Majesty!"

"Protect the Emperor, Protect the Emperor!"

"Send the imperial physician!"

Lin Chen kicked the fallen dagger aside calmly, and then looked at Shangguan Wan'er, who looked unhappy.

"Enough!"

Li Zhao looked at these ministers who were talking after the fact, and scolded them unhappily.

Under Li Zhao's scolding, the palace finally quieted down.

The news that the Later Jin envoys were ambitious and intended to assassinate His Majesty spread like wildfire.

The people of the capital were furious when they heard about it.

But for the Ministry of Rites, this incident was no less than a bolt from the blue.

Especially the officials who were responsible for checking the gifts presented by the envoys, their faces were ashen.

If such a thing happened, let alone keeping their official hats, they might even be imprisoned for interrogation to see if they were involved in the case.

God has mercy on them.

How could they have the courage to assassinate their king and father?

However, after interrogation, it was found that several of them had been bribed by the Later Jin envoys to turn a blind eye during the inspection.

Therefore, the three people who accepted bribes were listed as accomplices, sentenced to Tianlao for treason, and executed in the autumn.

For Lin Chen.

He killed Kule and made great contributions to protecting the emperor.

As the saying goes, the greatest merit is to save the emperor.

Although there has been no news from Li Zhao, many court officials with sharp eyes understand that in the future court, Lin Chenjia is likely to become a leader.

So some people with active minds began to send visiting cards to the Lin Mansion.

What made Lin Chen speechless were the articles sent by some scholars.

Most of these literati failed the imperial examinations many times, so they wanted to follow the path of nobles and retainers.

Just like Jia Zheng, who raised many guests for leisurely discussions.

"Your Majesty! The Jiannu are ungrateful and are trying to assassinate the emperor. If we don't send a large army to fight them and destroy their ancestral temples, how will the world view them?"

"But the treasury is empty, and the military supplies are expensive..."

Heshen sneered in his heart when he heard the righteous words of the generals, but pretended to be difficult to speak.

"Lord He, every time there is a war, you say that the treasury is empty. Is it possible that all the taxes and salaries of my Tang Dynasty go to your house?" The general immediately said aggressively.

Heshen heard this, but said in fear: "If General Qin is willing to lead the army to fight against the Jiannu, I will even sell my pots and irons to collect the military supplies!"

As soon as these words came out.

These angry generals were speechless.

Just look at these guys, their expressions are all frozen.

Just kidding.

They are good at talking, but are they really asked to lead the army to fight against the Later Jin?

The previous one who asked for it lost his life, and his brother also defected.

A figure like Zhao Kuangyin died in Liaodong, wouldn't they be sending themselves to die?

That's why.

The generals all looked at the ghost-faced general in the lead.

They felt that the only one who could represent the generals against He Shen was Lin Chenjia, General Lin.

Because the other party is really capable of fighting.

However, what Lin Chen said shocked the generals.

"Your Majesty, there is a saying in the art of war. Soldiers are a major matter for the country. We should not raise armies out of anger!" Lin Chen said in a deep voice.

joke.

This season is the coldest time in Liaodong.

Twenty or thirty degrees below zero is common.

Even in modern times, there are news about people freezing to death.

Let him lead the army to Liaodong. I am afraid that half of them will freeze to death before they reach the place.

Li Zhao was not a fool, so he naturally understood what Lin Chen meant.

In other words, she also knew that she could not raise troops to conquer Hou Jin at this time.

But as the emperor, she couldn't say this herself.

Otherwise...where would she put her face?

So Lin Chen walked down the steps.

After some arguments from General Lin Chenjia, His Majesty the Emperor was able to withdraw the idea of ​​raising troops to conquer Houjin.

However, anyone with a discerning eye can also see it.

Lin Chenjia went against His Majesty's wishes, and the Emperor himself was very dissatisfied with this.

Even the reward for rescuing the driver was not mentioned at the court meeting.

In the eyes of some people, Lin Chenjia shouldn't be so stubborn.

If you just follow His Majesty's thoughts, you will be able to gain divine grace!

Those who thought they were smart secretly mocked Lin Chenjia as a stupid warrior who didn't know how to adapt.

Only the court meeting dispersed.

Lin Chen and Lin Ruhai left the palace together.

Lin Ruhai had an inexplicable chuckle on his face, which made Lin Chen feel a little uncomfortable.

"No wonder outsiders say that General Lin is a close confidant among His Majesty's cronies. It is indeed true."

When Lin Chen heard this, he didn't find it strange.

joke.

This kind of double-act play would be amazing if he could deceive Lin Ruhai.

However, what happened today also shocked Lin Ruhai. He frowned and said, "This slave slave actually did such an assassination."

Because whether the assassination is successful or not, it will definitely lead to Li Tang's revenge.

It would be unwise to do so.
