Mercenaries of the Heavens

Chapter 373 Emperor Qing wants to start war against Northern Qi

Although Fan Xian was calm on the surface, his heart was full of ups and downs. He secretly said:

What the hell kind of operation is this!An assassination case can actually lead to a national war!

Am I in the wrong place!How can there be a sense of déjà vu in World War I?

Chen Pingping said with a solemn expression:

"Your Majesty, what Northern Qi has done is to try to stir up civil strife in our Qing Dynasty. How dare we assassinate the heirs of important ministers of the Qing Kingdom many times. If we don't go to war, it won't be enough to satisfy the civil and military anger of the court!

I implore Your Majesty to raise troops and declare war on the Northern Qi Dynasty! "

When Emperor Qing heard this, he said with a slightly shocked expression:

"What, rise up?

Wait, let me think about something as big as declaring war! "

After finishing speaking, he looked at Lin Ruofu who was at the side, and asked:

"Well, Lin Xiang, what do you mean?"

After finishing speaking, she looked at Lin Ruofu sharply, waiting for his statement.

In the performance of the emperor and Chen Pingping, Lin Ruofu has already seen the meaning of the two monarchs:
Raising troops against the Northern Qi Dynasty is already a certainty!

The death of his own son was just a pretext!
Thinking of this, Lin Ruofu felt sad for his son after all!

On the face, he pretended to be in deep pain, knelt down on the hall, and said:
"Your Majesty, you have to make the decision for the old minister!
To avenge my poor child, I implore Your Majesty to raise troops against the Northern Qi Dynasty! "

After finishing speaking, he buried his head on the ground, and his whole body began to tremble slightly.

Looking at the scene in front of him, Fan Xian was also shocked, thinking:
Sure enough, in the eyes of those in power, does war only need an excuse?
At this time, I heard Fan Jian also say:

"I implore Your Majesty, declare war on Northern Qi! Avenge Prime Minister Lin's son!"

When Emperor Qing heard the words, his face was troubled, and he stepped forward to help Lin Ruofu up, and said in his mouth:
"Master Lin, please hurry up, this matter is related to the war between the two countries, let me think about it!"

After speaking, he glanced at Lin Ruofu who was pretending to be eager, and walked slowly in the hall.

After a long while, I turned around, looked at a few people and said:

"Okay! Prime Minister Lin is the head of my officials in Daqing, and his son died under the conspiracy of Northern Qi.

I can't sit idly by, I, I promise to raise an army, for Lin Xiang, for Daqing, to seek justice!
Tomorrow morning, I will announce this matter! "

When Chen Pingping, Lin Ruofu, and Fan Jian heard the words, they all bowed and said:

"Your Majesty is wise!"

Upon hearing this, Emperor Qing waved his hand and said to Lin Ruofu:

"Lin Xiang, you are my important minister in Daqing, we must mourn! I can't lose you in Daqing!"

Lin Ruofu heard this, and said with a choked voice:

"My lord, thank you for your concern!"

Hearing this, Emperor Qing stretched out his hand and patted Lin Ruofu's shoulder, then cast a glance at Fan Xian who was still distracted, and said:
"Lin Xiang, Fan Shilang! In my opinion, Fan Xian and Wan'er's marriage can also be put on the agenda. Let's announce it together tomorrow!
Lin Xiang, Fan Shilang, look, are you satisfied with my arrangement? "

When Lin Ruofu heard this, he glanced at the sharp-eyed Emperor Qing, knowing in his heart that this matter was irreversible, and thought about this period of time.

Fan Xian would bring his master to treat Wan'er every day, which shows his care for Wan'er.

Then it occurred to him that Fan Xian was assassinated by Lin Gong and Northern Qi's spies. It is impossible to say that there is no hatred;

Although, in the death of his son, he had an alibi, so he was freed from the suspicion of assassination;
Now, His Majesty has announced the marriage in front of the three of us, and the sacred order must not be violated, so I have no choice but to agree first;
As for the assassination of my son, I can only investigate secretly!
Thinking of this, Lin Ruofu bowed respectfully, and said to Emperor Qing:

"Sir, follow His Majesty's arrangement!"

Hearing this, Fan Jian couldn't hide the joy in his heart, and bowed and said:
"Your Majesty, follow your Majesty's arrangement!"

Upon hearing this, Emperor Qing glanced at Lin Ruofu and Fan Jian with satisfaction, waved his hand and said:
"In this case, you all retreat! I, I'm tired!"

After finishing speaking, he turned and walked towards the inner hall.

Looking at Emperor Qing who left, Chen Pingping, Lin Ruofu, Fan Jian, and Fan Xian bowed respectfully and said:
"Sir, please retire!"

Out of the main hall, Fan Xian pushed Chen Pingping's wheelchair and walked in front with Fan Jian.

Lin Ruofu followed behind the three of them, looked at Fan Xian's back, and lowered his head to think about something!

After leaving the palace, Fan Xian sent Chen Pingping to the carriage, and he himself got into Fan Jian's carriage, and each went to the mansion.

On the way, Fan Xian looked at his father with closed eyes and rested his mind. He wanted to speak a few times, but he held back.

Fan Jian didn't open his eyes, as if he knew it, he said:

"Are you wondering why Your Majesty and Chen Pingping want to start a war against Bei Qi?"

Fan Xian nodded upon hearing this, then sighed and said:
"Father, did you start the war so easily?"

Hearing this, Fan Jian opened his eyes, glanced at Fan Xian and said:
"Our Qing Dynasty is based on military force, and the Northern Qi Dynasty is not allowed to make troubles in our country.

What's more, Bei Qi gave us such an excuse again!
Think about it!If you figure it out, you can be regarded as a starting point in the officialdom of the Qing Kingdom! "

After speaking, he closed his eyes again, not speaking.

Back home, Fan Xian still tossed and turned sleeplessly, and waited until dawn before excitedly rushing to Wang Zhi's house, and told Wang Zhi what happened in the palace last night.

After listening to Fan Xian's narration, Wang Zhi said while making tea:
"Chen Pingping and the emperor both know that it was Wu Zhu who killed Lin Gong, and this is to divert Lin Ruofu's attention and remove your suspicion!

It was only a matter of time before the war started!

What happened to Lin Gong was just an opportunity! "

Hearing this, Fan Xian looked at Wang Zhi in disbelief, and said in surprise:

"Master, are you saying that Chen Pingping and His Majesty already knew about the existence of Uncle Wu Zhu?"

Wang Zhi said:

"Of course! Back then, you were single-handedly killed by Wu Zhu on his back from Qi State, and it was Chen Pingping who met you at the border!
You said, would Chen Pingping and the emperor not know about the existence of Wuzhu? "

When Fan Xian heard the words, he said nah na:
"Since they all know that Uncle Wu Zhu killed Lin Gong, why didn't they expose it?"

Wang Zhi heard the words, glanced at Fan Xian, and continued:

"Lin Gong's collusion with Northern Qi's spies has already touched the emperor's bottom line, and he deserves death!
If you don't do this, Lin Ruofu will easily believe that you are not behind the scenes?

Of course, with Lin Ruofu's temperament, he won't believe you easily!

The next step is to arrange for someone to go to the Forensic Court and interrogate the manager! "

When Fan Xian heard this, his heart tightened, and he asked:
"Master, Si Lili is just a woman, so she may not be able to withstand torture, I'm afraid..."

Hearing this, Wang Zhi rolled his eyes, but kept making tea in his hands, and said in his mouth:
"I know what you're worried about. After all, you and Si Lili just met once. There's no need for her to die for you. I'll help you!"

When Fan Xian heard this, he was relieved, but at the same time he was puzzled, how could the master help him?
