Chapter 460 Who is bullying whom?
Qi Lei and Tao Kangping looked at each other with helplessness.
Before the prince could agree, Qi Lei raised his objection.
"Your Majesty, this is absolutely not allowed!"
These words sounded very familiar, as if he had just heard them. Gu Nianting was unhappy and furious.
"You have nothing to do all day, either chatting or pretending to surrender, or talking nonsense. This plan requires me to kneel down and apologize in public. I haven't even said I have any objections, but you have objections. How can this be justified?"
"The two governors of the state, we have proposed a plan to assassinate King Dijin, and every detail is perfect, but you insist on hiding from it."
"The two masters of the Secret Service have proposed a plan to get rid of Concubine Xian, and the plan is perfect and has no loopholes, but you still retreat."
"As Lord Xie said, you have your own difficulties, and I can barely understand. But why this time?"
"Tai Yin has stayed out of this matter for several years. The plan of the two adults is indeed impeccable. What reason do you have to reject Tai Yin's delegation?"
"You are so leisurely, staying under my command, but you just want to get something for nothing all day long. What use do I have for you?"
"You feel at ease, saying that Lord Lin is pretending to surrender. Now it's your turn to show your loyalty, but you find all kinds of excuses and refuse to do it. In my opinion, you are the ones who are hypocritical!"
Qi and Tao gnashed their teeth and beated their hearts when they heard this.
Feng Zhengtai and his group were also filled with gloom and sorrow.
Qi Lei ignored the prince's malicious slander, cheered himself up, and did everything meticulously.
"This plan is perfect. I have no objection. But I am confused. Why did Yin Sitai and his party insist on us going? The two governors and the two secretaries, wouldn't it be appropriate for you to take this opportunity to show your loyalty?"
After his reminder, Gu Nianting also began to feel a little doubtful and turned to look at the people on the second stage.
Lin Mu stood up to show his respect, and then refuted.
"What Lord Qi said is wrong."
"Whether the officials of the provincial governors and the secretaries follow the prince, outsiders do not know. Even if the prince finds other things and sends them to the Yinsitai, it will not reflect the prince's righteousness."
"Could it be that Lord Qi wants to announce to the public that everyone on the second stage is volunteering to be the prince?"
"Your Highness is currently a prince, not a monarch or an emperor. You cannot take in retainers without permission. Lord Qi openly admitted this. Does he intend to save Your Highness' life? Or does he want to destroy Your Highness' reputation and make him lose the trust of the world?"
At this point, Gu Nianting suddenly understood, turned around, and looked at Qi Lei coldly.
Sensing the prince's suspicion, Qi Lei became displeased.
Lin Muchu was calm and composed, and summarized it in an orderly manner.
"My Lords, what is your ambition? I ask the world, who doesn't know what you want to achieve?"
"Therefore, it is most appropriate for Yin Sitai and his party to go, or for the two gentlemen Qi and Tao to go. In other words, this plan can only be handed over to the two gentlemen. Otherwise, the people's wishes will be in vain."
As soon as the word "bubble" came out, the longing in his heart was suddenly shattered, and Gu Nianting hurriedly expressed his opinion.
"No more excuses, you must go!"
Qi Lei glanced at him sideways, still looking reluctant.
"Lord Lin has moved into Prince Chen's mansion and is deeply trusted by the prince. His ambitions are self-evident and this matter has become well-known far and wide."
"Your Majesty, sending Lord Lin in can also show your righteousness, right?"
After hearing this, Gu Nianting suddenly became furious.
"If you dare to bully Lord Lin, I will fight you to the death!"
Qi Lei smiled coldly.
"Heh, who is bullying who?"
He looked at her with disdain and spoke in a sarcastic tone.
"Your Majesty has protected this much. If you are willing to give up your love and win the hearts of the people, it will be a matter of seconds."
"Lord Teng has said before that Yin Sitai is one of our own and will definitely not treat Lord Tao and me unfairly, and naturally will not neglect Lord Lin. Your Majesty, rest assured that Yin Sitai and his party are safe."
Seeing that Gu Nianting was reluctant to leave, Lin Mu first comforted him with his eyes and then responded to Qi Lei.
"I should not have turned down this opportunity to repay the prince's kindness. Unfortunately, Alliance Leader Qi has disappeared and the prince is short of counselors."
"Any plan may go wrong. If I leave and something unexpected happens, who can give you advice?"
Gu Nianting nodded in agreement.
Qi Lei let out a contemptuous laugh.
"Lord Lin, you are putting yourself on a pedestal and comparing yourself to Alliance Leader Qi. Isn't that overestimating yourself?"
Gu Nianting was already full of anger, and the mention of Zhong Hua made him even more furious.
"Don't talk nonsense. I think Lord Lin is much more intelligent than my third uncle. Moreover, my third uncle is irresponsible, while Lord Lin works tirelessly. Talent is rare and only comes once in a hundred years."
Lin Mu smiled awkwardly, feeling a little embarrassed.
"Your Majesty is so complimentary."
Qi Lei didn't want to pay any attention to Gu Nianting at all and focused on dealing with Lin Mu.
"Lord Lin asked such a question. Does he look down on the governors and the secretaries? Is there no one among them who can plan the overall situation for the prince?"
Lin Mu took care of things well and talked eloquently.
"How can I be the one who denies both?"
"Just now, Masters Qi and Tao kept nitpicking and picking out all the loopholes in their plan, didn't they?"
"The strategy was jointly discussed and decided by all the adults, but you almost completely rejected it. This does not mean that the officials of the Second Chamber are mediocre and incompetent, but only shows that Qi and Tao are not satisfied with them for providing advice to the prince."
"If this is the case, how can they help?"
Qi Lei continued to attack.
"So you don't take us, the Fengzhengtai, seriously?"
Feng Zhengtai and his group, in coordination with Lord Qi, all cast sharp glances at Lin Mu.
The feeling of intimidation is palpable at first glance.
Lin Mu smiled calmly, raised his eyes and responded calmly.
"Lord Qi is not very humble."
"Please forgive me for being blunt, but if you are capable of accomplishing the task, why would Your Majesty need to open the bed to welcome me?"
Qi Lei had never expected that he would react like this. He was extremely surprised and furious.
"Lin Mu!"
"That's too arrogant!"
Gu Nianting provided timely protection.
"With the support of this king, he can act recklessly."
Qi Lei was so angry that he picked up the teacup and was about to throw it at Gu Nianting.
"Your Majesty!"
Seeing this, Tao Kangping and others hurriedly stopped Qi Lei.
Lin Mu remained calm and composed.
"Thank you for your grace, Lord Qi. Please be patient."
"It's not that I am a lowly official, but I am taking a break and hiding. It's because I know the master's intentions very well. The prince hopes that you two can personally implement the plan."
"Why does Lord Qi always think that doing things is hard? The prince is willing to entrust you with important tasks because you two have been with him for many years and he values you two. This is a benefit that the other three masters and I cannot even envy. Why is Lord Qi so angry?"
Having won the argument, Gu Nianting was obviously very happy.
"Master Lin, please sit down. Why bother trying to persuade them and waste your breath on them?"
Following his gaze, he watched Lin Mu sit down, then he turned and called out softly.
"Thank you, Master Teng."
Xie Mao and Teng Yuru responded in unison.
"exist."
Gu Nianting gave the order happily.
"Take the man away and lock him up in Yinsitai."
Xie Mao and Teng Yuru smiled at each other.
"Yes."
Yin Sitai and his men surrounded Qi Tao and the other man.
Xie Mao was among them, he bowed and gestured for invitation.
"Master Qi, Master Tao, please come in."
