Chapter 268 World Friendship (Part 1)
After a sudden realization, Dongfang Yu looked at Lin Long without changing his expression, and his tone was still gentle: "Mumu, since I met you in Zhaohuang Palace at the age of thirteen, I, Dongfang Yu, have never told you a lie. I will not tell you a lie today.
Yes, it won't happen in the future. I ordered the death of the six kings of Chu State, and I persuaded you to get rid of the Princess of Qi State. But the death of your brother Lin Lang... was not done by me."
Lin Long also looked at her husband calmly. The time had long worn out the temper of Xie Zuo, who had been confined to the Song Palace for twenty years. Although she was pained and saddened by the sudden death of the six kings, she also knew that the matter was over and there was no other way.
Lu. "These days, the eldest sister has also sent people to investigate secretly. Her people also said that my brother was not killed by the six kings. As for the Song Dynasty, it is really difficult for the Prime Minister of Song Dynasty and his few guards to kill my brother.
Poison...On the day of the enthronement ceremony, there were only a handful of people who came close to my brother. Only you...only you..."
Lin Long sighed and did not want to say any more.
Dongfang Yu suddenly took a step forward, took his wife into his arms, and said warmly: "Mumu, I just ask you to trust me in this matter, and don't be like those stubborn old ministers who fell into the temporary divorce plan devised by the people of the Song Dynasty.
.Although the State of Song had no reason to kill your brother before he ascended the throne, since he is dead, the State of Song can use hundreds of ways to deal with the State of Chu, and to deal with me, the king of Chu whose name is unjust and unjust. Not only the State of Song has methods,
Everyone in Chu State also has methods."
Her husband's gentle breath caressed her ears, and Lin Long couldn't help but raise her arms to hug Dongfang Yu, and said calmly: "I know that you are in a difficult situation, and I also know that Chu is in trouble at home and abroad... I am just afraid, afraid that you are no longer the person you once were.
The person to whom I have committed my heart.
I once thought that the young man in white was just a dashing traveler... Who would have thought that after he worked for my brother, he was actually called the 'Number One Adviser of Chu'. However, my hands are stained with blood because of my meticulous work in the palace.
If he is good at calculation, what right do I have to dislike a counselor? Now that he has ascended the throne and I am his queen, what right do I have to ask a king to return to being an upright young man?"
What's more, there has never been an open and aboveboard relationship between us. I am the woman married by King Huai of Song Dynasty with a national gift, but I secretly gave birth to two children for you in the Song Palace. Although you made me your queen, we have never done anything.
Husband and wife exchange a cup of wedding wine with each other!"
Dongfang Yu laughed softly: "Mumu, it turns out that you are angry with me because you are just complaining that I did not marry you with the courtesy of a country."
Lin Long pushed Dongfang Yu away and said seriously: "I didn't. I'm here to ask you whether you killed my brother."
Dongfang Yudao: "If I said that your brother was killed by people sent by King Wei who was far away in Dongyang of Wei Kingdom, would you believe it?"
Lin Long's eyes widened: "Escape? He and my brother were also good friends when they were young... How could he... You mean, the person who killed my brother was the one from Xuanji Island... a kid not much older than Su'er
?Don’t talk nonsense?”
Dongfang Yu took Lin Long's hand and walked to the dragon chair, and handed her the letter of national defense written by Zhuge Dunji. After she read it, he explained to her: "I have known Dunji for many years and we have a close friendship.
, I am afraid that I am the only one who can see through the loopholes in his letter. And since he wrote it to me, he is not afraid that I will see through it. In fact, like me, he has both gangsterism and royal nobility, even if he seeks to harm money.
Life must be upright. That’s why the two of us can become close friends, and that’s why I can understand the loopholes he deliberately wrote to me.”
Lin Long was confused: "What loophole?"
Dongfang Yu pointed to the piece of ceremonial certificate and said: "That's the sentence, 'One wrong step in the neighboring Song Dynasty is better than ten years of spring and autumn, and finally a hundred years of opportunity will be achieved. This move will put the Song Dynasty in danger.'
The Song State threatened me with an army of 100,000 and elected me as the King of Chu. It was really a bad move for the Song State! Although that boy Liu was tone deaf and very slow in learning the piano, I remember that he was not stupid. Over the years,
He held all the power of the Song Dynasty in his hands and was very diligent in his work. It was impossible for him to make such a bad move.
His 100,000-strong army should have just come to help your brother successfully ascend the throne. After all, when Shu'er led the Qi army to pass through Chu, only your brother sent Lin Ying to pretend to block it, while the other six kings all watched with cold eyes. If you are that little
King Song, among the seven princes of the Chu Kingdom, who would you recommend to be the King of Chu?"
Lin Long replied: "It must be King Sheng Lin Lang."
Dongfang Yu nodded and said: "King Sheng sent troops to thwart the Qi army. Although he was defeated, he also showed his kindness to the Song Dynasty. The Little Song King was far away in Yudu, how could he know whether it was a real defeat or a false defeat? He would only know
I feel that among the seven kings of the Chu Kingdom, only King Sheng was afraid of the Song Kingdom.
You said that Shu'er has told the King of Song Dynasty about his life experience, then the King of Song Dynasty will know that King Sheng of Chu State is Shu'er's biological uncle. The Song State has just lost the county of Jing'an to the Four Kingdoms Alliance, so it can only maintain its relationship with the Chu State for generations.
Only by making good friends can we avoid being attacked by enemies from both sides. Therefore, when the King of Song Dynasty heard that the seven kings gathered in Zhaohuang Palace, he must ensure that King Sheng successfully ascended to the throne of Chu King, so that he could get closer to Chu State by leveraging his childhood friendship with Shu'er.
"
Lin Long said: "I have been in the Song Palace for twenty years, and I know very well whether the young King of Song is stupid or not. I have long felt that my brother's death could not be caused by the Song Dynasty."
Dongfang Yu pointed to the sentence written by King Wei and said: "You have known the current King Wei longer than you have known King Xiao Song. You also know very well whether hiding is stupid or not. Since we can all infer
This incident was not caused by the Song Dynasty, so why did Dunji write it like this?"
Lin Long suddenly realized: "Because he wants to blame the death of King Chu Mu on the Song Dynasty! With this regicide, everyone in the Chu country will hate the Song Dynasty, and even though you are the Song Dynasty's one hundred thousand
The army supported the King of Chu who ascended the throne, but he had to comply with the popular sentiments of the Chu State and join the four-nation allied forces to attack the Song Dynasty!"
Dongfang Yu nodded and said: "So the person who killed your brother was the boy named Mo. And he must have received orders from their Xuanji Island. The island owner of Xuanji Island, Zhuge Tunji, is King Wei."
Lin Long frowned: "But Tuoji actually killed my brother in order to let the Chu State and the Four Kingdoms Army Alliance attack the Song Dynasty together? With his friendship with you, after my brother ascends the throne, we can attack the Song Dynasty together. It is not a matter of a word."
Really? Why do you want to risk my brother’s life? Are you trying every possible means to put the blame on the Song Dynasty?"
Dongfang Yu sighed and said: "I guess Dunji may also know one more thing. The person he really wants to kill is not your brother. But he can only kill your brother."
Lin Long was even more puzzled: "What exactly does Zhuge Dunji want to do?"
