Beauty trap? Xu Wei and Li Tai looked at Lin San from head to toe. He was a man, but he was still lacking in terms of beauty. The two of them looked at each other and suppressed their laughter. Xu Wei said carefully, "If you want to use the beauty trap, it's not impossible. It's just that you can get someone else to go. That way, the chances of success will be higher!"
Lin Wanrong was furious when he heard this. He looked at Xu Wei with a dark expression, "Mister Xu, what do you mean? You have to speak with a conscience! Is there anyone more handsome than me in this world? Let me tell you, you won't be able to find another handsome man like me who is skilled in both the pen and the sword. "
Xu Wei smiled and shook his head. His face was full of apology, "Little brother, you misunderstood me. I'm just worried that you'll be in danger. If something goes wrong, it will be very bad. A top talent like you is what our China needs the most. How can we let you take the risk? This old man's suggestion is for your sake and for the sake of our country. Little brother, please don't misunderstand. "
"Even if it's dangerous, there's nothing I can do about it. Who asked me to have a life of hard work? I'm used to flirting with the most dangerous girls and doing the safest things. Buddha said it well. If I don't go to hell, who will? For the people of China, for the country, I'm willing to take this risk! Your Majesty … "Lin Wanrong turned around and looked at the Emperor sincerely," This lowly one requests to go to war! Please allow this lowly one to kill the enemy for the country! "
The old Emperor laughed coldly. How could he not understand what he was thinking? "Minister Lin, I am grateful for your patriotism! It's just that Xu Zhangjin is a weak woman. Will she know what's going on in Korea? Even if she knows, how can I rest assured that someone like you, a pillar of China, will take the risk? In my opinion, Minister Xu's suggestion is very reasonable. Why don't we get someone else to go … "
"Someone else? Your Majesty must be joking! Is there anyone more suitable than me in this world? " Lin Wanrong smiled and his eyes were full of confidence, "Furthermore, I'm sure that Xu Zhangjin knows the details. Mister Xu just said that Korea might have made some kind of agreement with the Wokou pirates behind China's back. It's not that there's no such possibility, but in my opinion, the possibility is next to nothing. Everyone, think about it. The Japanese army is going to attack Goryeo and they are determined to win. If they want to reach an agreement with Goryeo, what kind of price would Goryeo have to offer for the Japanese to give up? If they really wanted to negotiate, I'm sure that the conditions the Japanese proposed would be ten or even a hundred times harsher than what our China proposed. It would be even harder for Goryeo to accept. Your Majesty, Teacher Xu, Old General, don't you think so? "
When everyone heard him mention the honey trap, they thought that he was blinded by lust and wanted to take advantage of Xu Changjin. Who would have thought that he already had a plan in mind? These words hit the nail on the head. The Japanese were definitely not good people. They used the strength of their entire country to attack Goryeo from the sea. If they didn't get a satisfactory bargaining chip, they would definitely not give up.
Xu Wei and Li Tai nodded slightly. The Emperor fell silent for a while before he slowly spoke, "Continue, continue."
"The Wokou's cruelty is known to the world. They have been living on long and narrow islands for a long time. The characteristics of their race have determined their violent and greedy nature. If they could swallow Goryeo and obtain a piece of land to expand their territory, they would definitely not give up on this huge benefit. Hence, I said that their conditions would only be ten or a hundred times harsher, making it hard for the royal family of Goryeo to accept. On the other hand, our grand idea of "One, Two Systems" is peaceful. We have preserved the royal family of Goryeo, allowing them to reproduce and live for generations to come. Furthermore, we are under the protection of Da Hwa, which can shelter them from the wind and rain. Furthermore, Da Hwa and Goryeo have many years of interaction, and the people of both countries are more likely to accept it. Comparing the two, it is obvious which is better. Your Majesty, this lowly commoner would like to ask a question. If you were the King of Goryeo and you could only choose between the two, what would you choose? "Lin Wanrong spoke incessantly. His words flowed like a river, causing everyone to fall into contemplation.
The Emperor was silent for a long time before he lightly said, "Based on what you said, it seems to make sense. The King of Goryeo would choose to cooperate with China. However, they are not talking about bringing China into the picture. What can I do about it? Goryeo is in danger, and China is about to go to war with the barbarians. If this continues, both sides will suffer losses. "
"Your Majesty is wise. That's right." Lin Wanrong nodded his head, "The King of Goryeo's silence is because he knows that China is anxious and wants to compete with us in terms of patience. He wants to negotiate with us to obtain more benefits. That's why it's important to find out their bottom line. "
"You want to find out Goryeo's bottom line from Xu Zhangjin?" Li Tai frowned and said, "But can a little girl like her really participate in politics?"
"Old General, don't look down on Xu Zhangjin. Everyone, think about it. Since the King of Goryeo wants to find out China's attitude, he must have arranged people in the capital. This little palace maid is undoubtedly the person in charge. However, they can't show their anxiety. That's why Xu Zhangjin is praying in the temple right under our noses. She pretended to be calm and deliberately let us see her. Her purpose is to make us anxious. Let's think about it. If Goryeo really reached an agreement with the Wokou, why is Xu Zhangjin still staying in China? She should be rushing back to Goryeo now. "
Xu Wei nodded his head. Don't be fooled by Lin San's playful demeanor. When he analyzed important matters, he was meticulous and had the demeanor of an expert. "Brother, according to you, this Palace Maid Xu is waiting for China to take a step back before reporting to the King of Goryeo?"
Lin Wanrong's eyes flashed and he shook his head with a smile, "No, no. Goryeo is thousands of miles away from our capital. Even if we use pigeons to negotiate, it will take a few days. The Wokou's ships will probably arrive at Goryeo's Water City by now. The situation of the war is changing rapidly. The King of Goryeo can't afford to waste a few days. If I'm not wrong, the King of Goryeo's bottom line must have been conveyed to Xu Zhangjin.
"What?" This bold conjecture not only shocked Xu Wei and Li Tai, but even the Emperor was moved. If Lin San's conjecture was true, then wouldn't it mean that the great opportunity for Da Hua to expand their territory was right in front of them? If they could persuade Xu Zhangjin, Goryeo would already be halfway there! Xu Wei and Li Tai were excited. Listening to Lin Wanrong's words, the situation seemed to be getting clearer. The key was Xu Zhangjin. Did they really have to use the honey trap? The two looked at Lin Wanrong with a strange expression.
To be able to open up new territories and surpass the ancestors at the end of one's life was a great honor. Even someone as calm as the old emperor couldn't help but feel excited. His face was flushed as he quickly suppressed his emotions and said calmly, "Lin San, you said that Xu Changjin has already grasped the bottom line of Goryeo. How confident are you about this?"
Lin Wanrong spread his hands and smiled, "I'm not confident at all. He smiled and said, "I have no confidence at all. Your Majesty, you also know that what I said just now was a deduction. Only this Xu Zhangjin knows the truth. Ai, Xu Zhangjin, this little girl, His Majesty and Teacher Xu, you've all seen her. She has a stubborn temperament and is very stubborn. If she doesn't want to, even if a knife was placed on her neck, she wouldn't say anything. She's very tricky. "
The old Emperor gritted his teeth. You brat, after talking for so long, you just want to find an excuse to pick up girls. How can you come up with such a rotten idea? Which of my two daughters isn't ten thousand times better than that little palace maid from Goryeo? After pondering for a while, he couldn't do anything to Lin San. Goryeo was also lacking in morals. The person in charge was actually a little girl. Lin San was destined to be bitten by this fly. When it came to dealing with girls, if Lin San admitted that he was number two, no one would dare to admit that they were number one.
The Emperor let out a long sigh and said with a gloomy face, "Lin San, if I ask you to deal with Xu Zhangjin, what are your chances of winning?"
The word 'deal' that the old man used was too clever! When did I, Lin San, fail to pick up girls? Lin Wanrong chuckled and said, "This, it depends on how I deal with it. Depending on the degree, the effect will be different! "
"What degree, what effect? Just say it, we will consider it carefully." There was a hidden meaning in the Emperor's words that only Lin San understood. Li Tai and Xu Wei were completely confused.
Lin Wanrong laughed lewdly, "Everyone here is on the same side, so I won't brag. To deal with Miss Xu, it depends on the degree. If it's a normal chat while drinking tea, it's about ten percent. If it's a step further, like holding hands, it's about thirty percent. If it's a kiss on the cheek, it's at least fifty percent. If it's a formal greeting, hehe, even if I don't say it, everyone can guess. "
Hearing this, Xu Wei and Li Tai broke out in a cold sweat. So this was the degree and the effect! This was not bragging! How could a person be shameless to this extent!
What formal greeting? Since when did you become so genteel? Just say that you tainted a girl's innocence. The Emperor found it funny, but he did not doubt Lin San's words. The most obvious examples were his two daughters.
"Official Xu, Official Li, what do you think of this method?" The Emperor's expression was strange. His face seemed to be smiling, but at the same time, it was not. He asked Xu Wei and Li Tai for their opinion.
Xu Wei and Li Tai were both civil and military officials of Da Hua. They were the right-hand men of Da Hua. They had discussed politics for more than a thousand times. But to openly discuss such a wretched "handsome man" with the Emperor, especially when it was done by a "handsome man" like Little Brother Lin, there was no need to mention how awkward it was.
"This," The two 'modestly declined' each other. In the end, Xu Wei had no choice but to open his mouth, "If there is no other way, then we can only use this ancient plan. After all, time waits for no man! The north has the Hu people to fight, and the northeast has a new army waiting to be led. These are all matters that cannot be delayed. "
The Emperor nodded his head and slowly paced around the room. After a long time, he seemed to have made up his mind. Just as he was about to open his mouth, Lin Wanrong interrupted, "Ah, Mister Xu, what did you just say? You are saying that this plan needs to be carried out by someone else, right? I have thought it over and over again, and I feel that what you said is correct. Although I am a bit more beautiful than a handsome man, I have a family and a daughter to take care of. I am not suitable to carry out this kind of high risk mission. Moreover, I am not good at deceiving young girls. My conscience is uneasy! Change people, change people, this is a good suggestion! "
The three people in the room were shocked. At this crucial moment, why did Lin San change his mind? Xu Wei quickly said, "Brother Lin, such a difficult task can only be completed by a handsome and resourceful young hero like you. How could anyone else do it? If you are worried that your wives will scold you, this old man will help you. I believe that they will give me some face. "
Lin Wanrong was sad and shook his head as if he was about to cry, "Mister Xu, don't mention my wives. To tell you the truth, because I have no other choice, I will be forced to abandon my wives. In this kind of situation, how can I have the mood to carry out this difficult task? It is me who has let down China and the Chinese people! "
Li Tai said in shock, "Abandon your wives? How can this be done? Who is so daring to force you to be a heartless person? Tell this old man, I will go find him to settle the debt! "
The Emperor's face was as black as ink. Lin Wanrong almost laughed out loud, but he quickly held it back and shook his head miserably, "It is better not to mention this kind of thing. If my mood is too bad, it will be difficult to complete the task. In short, this time, I, Lin San, am in the wrong. I have let down the Emperor's cultivation. I have let down Mister Xu and the Old General's trust. "
The two of them tried their best to persuade him, but Lin San firmly shook his head. The Emperor coldly watched him put on a show. Only then did he realize that this brat's target wasn't Xu Zhangjin. He wanted to use this to force him to retract his order and protect his wives. He had really put in a lot of effort!
"Is that so? Tell me, who forced you to abandon your wives?" Seeing Lin San raise his troops, the Emperor couldn't stand it anymore. He coldly snorted.
"This, I don't dare to say." Hearing the Emperor speak, Lin Wanrong let out a long sigh. I'm not afraid of you talking, I'm afraid you won't talk.
"Don't dare to say? Is there anything in this world that you don't dare to say? " The Emperor heavily slammed the dragon chair, his face furious, "I see that you have nothing to fear and don't want to help China. You want to go against the Emperor's order … "
What could they do if this big hat was placed on them? Seeing the Emperor's anger, Xu Wei and Li Tai hurriedly knelt on the ground and hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, please calm down. Lin San only lost his composure because of the incident at home. We hope that Your Majesty will forgive us! We will definitely advise him properly! "
The old Emperor really did have some imposing manner when he was angry. However, Lin Wanrong wasn't afraid. In any case, it wasn't the first time he had angered him. He would get used to it after being afraid for a while.
Seeing Lin San's stubborn appearance, the Emperor's two daughters' happiness depended on him. He couldn't beat or kill him. The Emperor felt a sense of helplessness in his heart. Why did he have to meet such a freak?
"Get up, all of you, get up." The Emperor powerlessly raised his hand, indicating for Xu Wei and Li Tai to get up. He then swept a glance at Lin Wanrong and snorted, "I promise you, no one is allowed to expel Miss Dong and Miss Luo from your residence. You can rest assured about this, right?"
Lin Wanrong was waiting for this sentence. His face beaming with joy, he hurriedly said, "Qiaoqiao and Ning 'er are only two of my wives. There are also the Grand Mistress, Second Miss, Sister An, and so on. No one is allowed to expel them. Otherwise, I will be in a bad mood. I'm afraid that I won't be able to handle the matter well. If I cause a delay in the country's affairs, that would be terrible."
This brat was simply asking for a foot after being given an inch. The old Emperor angrily said, "Don't speak so much. Do you think this is a market where you can bargain with me?"
Xu Wei and Li Tai were silent as they listened to the conversation between the Emperor and Lin San. It seemed that the one who wanted to separate Lin San and his wife was the Emperor himself. Li Tai's forehead was dripping with cold sweat.
"How can a lowly commoner dare to bargain with Your Majesty? I'm just stating a fact. In order to prevent the country's affairs from being delayed because of me, Your Majesty, please find someone else! It's a seduction tactic. You can just pull anyone on the street. "
Xu Wei was speechless. This Lin San must have eaten a bear's heart and a leopard's guts. He actually dared to talk back to the Emperor.
The Emperor seemed to be used to being contradicted by him. After being angered for a while, he calmed down and sneered, "That Lady Xiao and Second Miss of yours, this Emperor will remember them. If you handle the matter well, this Emperor will consider it. If you continue to speak, this Emperor would rather not take down Goryeo and punish you. "
As long as the Grand Mistress was still around, there would be a way sooner or later. Lin Wanrong pondered in his heart. He dryly laughed and said, "Since Your Majesty values this lowly commoner so much, then I will display my dashing charm and thoroughly conquer this little palace maid of Goryeo. Even if I have to die, I will find out everything about her. Don't ….. "
When Xu Wei and Li Tai heard Lin Wanrong relent, they let out a long sigh. But when they heard his last sentence, their hearts immediately jumped. This Little Brother Lin was simply trying to take their lives!
"But what?" The Emperor was already used to this and coldly asked.
"Your Majesty, what I did this time, if you put it nicely, is a seduction tactic. If you put it bluntly, it would be deceiving a little girl and playing with an innocent girl. I, Lin San, am an honest and upright person with a great reputation. Doing this kind of thing would greatly damage my reputation. "
Pei, you still have a good reputation! The other three people in the room all spat in disdain.
"In order to prove my innocence and to explain to the several madams in my family, Your Majesty, this lowly commoner would like to ask for an imperial edict!"
So it was an imperial edict. This was a small matter. Li Tai and Xu Wei let out a sigh of relief. The Emperor's complexion slightly relaxed and he nodded his head, "What imperial edict do you want? Tell me the truth and we will write it for you!"
Lin Wanrong walked to the Emperor's side and whispered something in his ear. The Emperor was stunned for a moment before he angrily said, "Nonsense! This kind of imperial edict, how can we issue it to you? Won't the future historians laugh their heads off! "
"What's so funny?" Lin Wanrong was puzzled and asked, "If Your Majesty takes down Korea, this imperial edict will be passed down for thousands of years. This imperial edict will be a story that will be passed down through the ages, and it will show how special and great Your Majesty is! "
The Emperor seemed to be moved, but he immediately waved his hand, "No, we will not write this imperial edict! You just go and do what you need to do. We will see who dares to find trouble with you. "
Lin Wanrong wanted to say more, but the Emperor shook his head and said, "Let's do it according to what we just said. We will stop here for today. We are a little tired. All of you can leave. "
It was just an imperial edict, how could it be so troublesome? Xu Wei and Li Tai were puzzled, but since the Emperor was chasing them out, they could only pull Lin Wanrong out the door. Before Lin Wanrong left, he sighed, "The family's affairs are not peaceful, and the country's affairs are difficult to prosper. It is not easy to do anything. Your Majesty, you have to understand me. Otherwise, if this matter is messed up, China will suffer. "
The door frame closed with a creak. The Emperor bitterly smiled and shook his head. He did not know where this Lin San got his ideas from. Every time at a critical moment, he would always think of a way to save himself. Thinking about the imperial edict that Lin San wanted, the Emperor paced back and forth in his study. He raised the vermillion brush and put it down several times. After going back and forth like this, he finally gritted his teeth and said, "We will draft this imperial edict. If you can't do it, see how I will punish you."
He raised the brush and quickly wrote. Looking at the absurd content of the imperial edict, he felt that it was somewhat funny. He used the vermillion seal and lightly ordered Gao Ping, "Send this imperial edict to Lin San! Remember, this is a top secret edict. Only he can see it! "
"Little Brother Lin, what imperial edict did you ask the Emperor for? Why is it so difficult?" Xu Wei dared to ask after they left the palace.
Lin Wanrong smiled and said, "Xu daren, you also know that there are many vinegar jars in my family. I asked the Emperor to write an imperial edict to prove my innocence. Who would have thought that the Emperor would be so stingy and refuse to write even a few words! "
Write an imperial edict to prove his innocence? This was a story that would last for thousands of years! Xu Wei knew that he was crafty, but he did not know what he was planning to make the Emperor so embarrassed.
Just as he stepped out of the palace, a shout came from behind him, "Lin daren, please wait! Lin daren, please wait!"
Lin Wanrong turned around and saw a red-clothed deacon running towards him. It was Gao Ping.
"Lin daren, this is the imperial edict that the Emperor gave you!" Gao Ping carefully handed the imperial edict to him and warned, "The Emperor said that this imperial edict can only be seen by you."
Lin Wanrong was happy and laughed, "I understand, I understand. I ask gonggong to return to the Emperor. This lowly one thanks the Emperor for his grace!"
Gao Ping hurriedly turned around and left. Lin Wanrong opened the imperial edict and glanced at it. He immediately beamed with joy.
Xu Wei remembered Gao Ping's instructions. This imperial edict could only be seen by Lin San. He turned around and was puzzled. He couldn't help but look back and saw the four bright red words on the imperial edict. They were very clear. Surprisingly, it was — — "Seducing a woman by imperial edict"!
It was indeed the number one imperial edict since ancient times. Little Brother Lin could think of this. Xu Wei tried his best to hold back his laughter. His face turned red and he quickly cupped his fists, "Oh, little brother, I suddenly remembered that an old friend of mine came to visit today. This old man will be leaving first. Excuse me, excuse me! " After Xu Wei finished speaking, he walked away. His shoulders were trembling. When he reached the corner and couldn't see Lin San's figure, he patted his chest and laughed loudly.
"This is a treasure!" Lin Wanrong carefully put away the imperial edict. He was overjoyed. I am seducing a woman by imperial edict. I am loyal to the country. If Qing Xuan blames me, I will have something to say. Who should I seduce first? Miss Xu or Sister An? It was difficult!
The Korean diplomatic mission had stayed in the capital for many days. The hostel was near Xizhimen. With the imperial edict to seduce a woman in his arms, Lin Wanrong quickened his pace. When he reached the hostel and was about to enter, he suddenly stopped. As the saying goes, a chance encounter is not as good as a chance encounter. If he rashly rushed in to find Xu Changjin, it would certainly arouse her suspicions. It was better to be safe.
The hostel was secluded. Other than the two guards at the entrance, there were very few outsiders. Lin Wanrong walked back and forth a few times. The guard had already noticed him. The guard on the right shouted, "Hey, who are you? Why are you walking around here? This is the hostel for foreign guests. Unauthorized people are not allowed to stay here! "
Lin Wanrong laughed and walked forward. "Brothers, I am not an outsider. Have you heard of the current Minister of Revenue, Xu Wei? His brother-in-law's sister's biological daughter. She is my lover. "
The two guards looked at each other. Xu Wei's brother-in-law's sister's biological daughter? What relationship did this have with Xu Wei? Lin Wanrong didn't bat an eyelid. He took out a few taels of silver from his sleeve and stuffed them into the two guards' hands. He smiled and said, "Actually, I am here today to ask you two brothers about something!"
Seeing the silver, the expressions of the two guards eased up a little. Without anyone noticing, they put the silver into their pockets and said with a serious expression, "As law enforcers, we don't accept bribes. Don't look down on us. If you have any questions, tell us quickly. We are obligated to answer them. "
"My two brothers are honest, upright, and of noble character. This little brother admires you." Lin Wanrong gave them a thumbs up. He looked around and said in a low voice, "Since you two are so straightforward, I will not hide it from you. I am actually Secret Agent 007 sent by the Emperor. My code name is James Bond! Please look here — "
He looked around vigilantly and lifted his coat to reveal the secret edict of picking up girls. Then, he quickly closed it again. The two guards only saw the words "Imperial Edict" on the cover. They trembled in fear and were about to kneel. Lin Wanrong held them up. "Brothers, please don't be so polite. I have always kept a low profile and never revealed my identity. I am here today to carry out a top secret mission — "
"Please speak, Sir Jay. Please speak." The two guards hurriedly bowed.
The low-profile Sir James Bond nodded slowly. "The little palace maid from Korea, Xu Changjin, is she staying here?"
"Yes, yes. But you came at a bad time. Palace Maid Xu just left. "
"Left? So early? "Lin Wanrong asked curiously." Did she leave alone? "
The two guards looked at each other. Their lips trembled as if they were afraid to speak. Lin Wanrong snorted. "What? Are you hiding something from me?"
The two hurriedly waved their hands. "No, no. I was threatened by others and did not dare say anything. But you are a Secret Agent, Sir Jay. How could we lie to you? Miss Xu was invited to go sightseeing this morning. Accompanying her was the young prince of King Cheng's household! "
"The young prince of King Cheng's household? You mean — Zhao Kangning?!" Lin Wanrong's eyes widened.
