Chapter 207 The reason for being too early(1/2)
Wang Lin really didn't expect that Lin Dunxin invited him to his home for dinner and as a guest just to tell him this.
Hearing Lin Dunxin's words, Wang Lin slammed the table angrily: "I have always thought, Prime Minister Lin, that although you have different political views from me, we can reach a consensus based on justice and morality."
Lin Dunxin pulled Wang Lin down and said: "What I said has nothing to do with justice and morality. I am talking about the overall situation of the Wu Dynasty."
Lin Dunxin was pulled to sit down by Wang Lin, but he was still aggrieved: "Okay, then tell me how you proceed from the overall situation."
Lin Dunxin patiently explained to Wang Lin: "You should know that I have no objection to Ning Chen being crowned king.
I just think it’s a bit too soon and too early.”
After hearing Lin Dunxin's explanation, Wang Lin's attitude softened slightly.
Because Wang Lin remembered it, it can be said that Lin Dunxin played an indispensable role in bringing about today's situation.
If Lin Dunxin had not used his political wisdom to mediate between ministers and the royal family.
Even if Ning Chen made such a great achievement today, it would be very difficult for him to be crowned king immediately.
So in this matter, Lin Dunxin still has merit.
"You keep saying it's early, it's early, you tell me it's early there."
"Our Wu Dynasty is now thriving. Whether it is national strength or other aspects, it has reached the highest point since the founding of the dynasty."
"Even in the era of Taizu and Gaozu, they have never been able to accomplish such feats."
"Although the Emperor Wu was powerful in his era, even if he faced the Ten Thousand Monsters Kingdom, he could not completely defeat the Ten Thousand Monsters Kingdom."
"Needless to say, the Western Region side has already tried its best to defend itself."
"But now the Kingdom of Ten Thousand Demons is nominally a vassal state of my Wu Dynasty. The Western Region has been beaten to pieces by us. It will be destroyed in a matter of days."
"In such a powerful environment, what's wrong with conferring the title of king on the person who has made the greatest contribution?"
Lin Dunxin waited patiently for Wang Lin to finish, and then said: "The problem is that now is a prosperous era, so I said it is too early for Ning Chen to be crowned king."
Wang Lin was so stressed that Lin Dunxin kept insisting that it was "too early" and "too early" that he completely lost his patience: "Just tell me directly where it is that it is too early."
Lin Dunxin did not argue with Wang Lin about his attitude, but began to talk about his own reasons.
"It's just because we are in a prosperous era now, so it is inevitable that everyone will have some inner turmoil."
"Especially Prince Yan and Prince Yu, I'm afraid they will be even more unable to contain the urgency in their hearts."
"The better your Majesty does, the more eager they will be."
"It's just that they never had a reason to win more people's support."
"But now that the champion is crowned king, Prince Yan and Prince Yu will have a reason to win over everyone."
"Although His Majesty has always been very gentle and kind, if you recall carefully, there are still a few people who dare to speak out against the decision His Majesty has made."
Wang Lin thought about it carefully, and it seemed that this was indeed the case.
The strength that Wu Zhao showed now really penetrated the entire court in a subtle way.
In the past, when Wu Zhao first came to the throne, many of Wu Zhao's decisions were met with widespread opposition in the court.
But now, almost no objections can be heard in the court.
Wang Lin was not a reckless warrior, he understood what Lin Dunxin wanted to express.
This situation is definitely the best environment for the emperor.
But for civil servants, it was the worst environment.
Especially those civil servants who are ambitious and want to use their talents to achieve something.
Such a court environment is like a tomb to them.
For those veterans, such an environment is also not what they want to see.
Seeing that Wang Lin had listened to what he said, Lin Dunxin continued to explain to Wang Lin: "In the past, the clan was suppressing it. But now that once Ning Chen is crowned king, the clan will probably not favor our majesty.
.”
"When the time comes when the clan and civil servants will all lead towards Prince Yan and Prince Yu, I'm afraid a civil war will be inevitable."
"Just think about how hard it has been for us to get through this situation now, if a civil war breaks out at this time."
"Then it's really true that relatives hate enemies, especially those in the Western Region. I'm afraid they will take this opportunity to completely relax."
"At that time, all the efforts we have made now may be in vain."
After a pause, Lin Dunxin continued: "If the champion can't restrain the anger in his heart, he will directly raise his troops to carry out a bloodbath against the court and clan.
Prince Jing would never sit idly by and ignore it. At that time, Prince Jing and Ning Chen faced each other.
Then our Wu Dynasty may be facing a real collapse."
After Wang Lin listened to Lin Dunxin's explanation, he also thought about it seriously.
To talk about what Lin Dunxin said at the end, there was a direct collision between Prince Jing and Ning Chen.
Wang Lin absolutely didn't believe it would happen.
Because Wang Lin felt that neither Prince Jing nor Ning Chen were such irrational people.
But if this trend continues, a civil war may be inevitable.
If a civil war really broke out, it would be really fun for the enemies of the Wu Dynasty.
"Is it because you are worried about something like this happening that you are going to break the champion's heart?"
"If Ning Chen really leaves the Wu Dynasty in despair, the result may be even worse than if we had a civil war."
Lin Dunxin took over and said: "That's why I invited you here because I want to discuss a countermeasure with you."
Wang Lin listened to Lin Dunxin's words and said: "What countermeasures can we take? We all know the temper of Mr. Champion. It's easy to talk about other things, this kind of beneficial thing. If we forcefully deny it, Mr. Champion will definitely not
Those who are willing to give up."
Lin Dunxin shook his head and said: "It's not that I won't give it, I just push the time back a little."
"When will it be pushed?" Wang Lin asked.
Lin Dunxin said: "Put it to the time when we go to war with the barbarians.
If we really go to war with the barbarians, it will definitely be a cataclysmic decisive battle.
That was the time when the Wu Dynasty, the human race, relied on Ning Chen the most.
If Ning Chen is given the throne at that time, it won't matter whether it's the clan or the imperial court.
No matter how much dissatisfaction they have in their hearts, they must hold their noses and admit it."
After a pause, Lin Dunxin said: "Originally, I thought we could delay it until then."
With a wry smile, Lin Dunxin added: "But who knew that Ning Chen could accomplish meritorious deeds so quickly."
Lin Dunxin has always been relatively accurate in judging people.
But once he met Ning Chen, his ability in this area seemed to be very inaccurate.
After listening to Lin Dunxin's rational analysis, Wang Lin also felt that what Lin Dunxin said was very reasonable.
And if it is just to delay some time, Wang Lin believes that Ning Chen is completely understandable.
Wang Lin still believed in Ning Chen's overall view.
After Wang Lin thought for a while, he couldn't help but sigh: "In the final analysis, our Majesty is a woman.
If our Majesty were a man, he would still have to worry about these things."
Lin Dunxin did not refute Wang Lin's words.
Although Wang Lin and Lin Dunxin were both firm supporters of Wu Zhao.
But this is an obvious thing. If Wang Lin and Lin Dunxin can accept a female emperor, others can also accept a female emperor.
For example, those in the clan would never accept Wu Zhao, the empress.
Now they are willing to accept it because Wu Zhao has brought them huge benefits.
At the same time, he also helped the Wu Dynasty return to its peak.
If one day Wu Zhao needs to pass on the throne, they will definitely be the first to stand up and demand that Wu Zhao continue to pass the throne to someone named Wu.
Rather than Wu Zhao's own son.
"I can try to communicate with Mr. Champion, but I can't guarantee whether Mr. Champion will agree." Wang Lin sighed and said to Lin Dunxin.
Lin Dunxin invited Wang Lin over because of Wang Lin's promise.
Hearing what Wang Lin said, Lin Dunxin immediately stood up and bowed deeply to Wang Lin: "On behalf of the people of the world, I thank the Prime Minister."
Wang Lin waved his hand in annoyance and said: "Stop doing this, you have already planned all this since I agreed to come to dinner with you. I am just a pawn in your plans to convey the voice.
"
Wang Lin is certainly not stupid, but now that he can see through things, there is absolutely no reason to reject Lin Dunxin.
And compared to Lin Dunxin, it is true that he and Ning Chen have more relationships and interactions.
