Chapter 145 Negotiation
By the time night fell, Chen Chong had already escaped back to Lianjingdu through the secret passage.
At this time, Yu Jin was wearing light armor and was ready.
Lin Yi was also waiting at the Lianjingdu railroad station.
Chen Chong rode his bicycle all the way back.
"Lin Yi, you are right. Xiao Changyun did hide the jade seal in his mansion."
As Chen Chong said this, he took out a piece of paper and pointed at the map of the capital city prepared by Lin Yi.
Lin Yi was not only very clear about the location of the imperial seal, but he also knew the configuration of the capital city.
The entire capital is now under full martial law.
There were almost no civilians on the road, and there were very few patrols.
After all, most people were standing by the city walls, ready for an attack from Prince Qing's army.
"Then follow the plan."
Yu Jin nodded slightly and then got on the track bike.
The rail bike is not a large troop carrier, so it can only transport six or seven people at a time.
And there is another person who is responsible for driving back to pick up people.
After four trips, everyone had gathered at the post station and then headed to the capital.
They still planned to go through the secret passage in the capital, but first sent someone to confirm the direction of the secret passage.
Hook and lock on the wall, that is the backup option.
Fortunately, Xiao Changyun didn't know how they escaped, so the tunnel could still be used.
Before long, they were already inside the capital.
At the same time, Prince Qing also cooperated and carried out some harassment in the north of the capital.
The main method is to throw Molotov cocktails at the target to cause a small-scale fire.
Amid the chaos, Yu Jin and his men's movements became more convenient, and they sneaked into the Prime Minister's Mansion with almost no effort.
Then he entered Xiao Changyun's study at the location pointed by Chen Chong.
At this time, Xiao Changyun was personally at the back of the city wall to check the situation.
I didn't realize that someone had "robbed" my house.
Prince Qing's attack was not fierce, which made him feel that Prince Qing might not have fully grasped the information inside, so he did not dare to act rashly.
The entire operation was almost seamless.
……
Lin Yi and Huangfu Qingling were waiting for news in the hotel.
"Lin Yi, your rail bike is very convenient. Can you build one that runs through east, west, north and south?"
Huangfu Qingling asked slowly.
"This... has to be done step by step."
"Now all these things require peace and prosperity for the country and the people. Only when the people live and work in peace and contentment can they have more motivation to do things."
Lin Yi shook his head and said, "I'd rather get the shipping done first."
Anyway, he is now nominally the imperial commissioner in charge of supervising the construction of the port.
"Okay, I'm not in a hurry."
Huangfu Qingling nodded, and then chatted with Lin Yi about some matters related to governing the country.
She was not just chatting without any basis, but was asking about some ideas on governing the country and methods of doing things.
Although Lin Yi's answer was different from what Huangfu Qingling had expected, upon closer thought, Lin Yi's method was actually better. These were management methods that Huangfu Qingling had never thought of!
If Xiao Changyun is eliminated, then a new prime minister will be needed.
At this point, Huangfu Qingling had already decided that Lin Yi must become the prime minister.
"Lin Yi, Xiao Changyun has rebelled."
"By the time this is over, I'm afraid the position of Prime Minister will be vacant."
As soon as Huangfu Qingling said this, Lin Yike reacted.
"Your Majesty, I don't want to be an official."
"I told you before!"
Lin Yi immediately refused, "If the position of Prime Minister is no longer needed, then I don't want it!"
Huangfu Qingling was shocked by these words.
From ancient times to the present, the prime minister is the head of all officials and holds the most important position!
"Actually, there's always a way out. I just need to keep building the port!"
Lin Yi's not-so-subtle refusal made Huangfu Qingling think in silence for a while.
She thought about it carefully and realized that Lin Yi was not wrong.
Lin Yi’s talent now is indeed enough to make him a prime minister, but who will these officials listen to in the future?
Should I listen to myself or Lin Yi?
Lin Yi's idea of not wanting a prime minister did solve an important problem!
If there were no Prime Minister Xiao Changyun who held all the power, he would have more room to play!
After the two of them had been talking for a while, Yu Jin came back with his men.
The imperial seal is obtained!
"Yu Jin, everyone, I will remember what happened today."
After Huangfu Qingling confirmed the jade seal, he looked at Yu Jin and the people behind him.
Thirty elite soldiers escaped unscathed!
And this night became a day of anger for Xiao Changyun.
Hundreds of soldiers were burned to death or injured on the city wall, which almost gave Prince Qing a chance to break in.
When he looked back, he found that his imperial seal had been stolen!
"Don't let this get out."
"Continue to defend the city."
Xiao Changyun frowned and ordered his men to keep the secret strictly, then began to think of ways to delay time.
After all, it will take more than ten days for General Sun in the south to come to support.
As long as General Sun's army arrives, there will be no problems in the capital!
After all, this is still a situation where who has more troops.
After this battle at night, he already knew a lot about Prince Qing.
The total number of soldiers is just over 10,000!
General Sun from the south is coming with an army of 70,000!
At this moment, he came up with a good idea!
……
The next morning, Xiao Changyun sent someone out to deliver the letter.
The letter was quickly delivered from the military camp to Huangfu Qingling along with Prince Qing.
"Xiao Changyun wants to negotiate."
Huangfu Qingling took a look at the letter and spoke immediately, then he put the letter on the table.
Everyone glanced at it.
There is a lot of flowery writing on it.
They say that the capital is an ancient city, the city walls are so precious, and the people living there are so and so.
But essentially, I just want to talk.
"Your Majesty, there must be no compromise!"
Prince Qing said, "He is definitely stalling for time!"
"If Your Majesty goes in personally, he might be attacked!"
Hearing this, Huangfu Qingling nodded slightly, "I understand, but if it can be resolved peacefully, it will also be a good thing for the people."
"I'll go."
Lin Yi said, "Anyway, he wouldn't dare to act rashly unless His Majesty shows up."
He looked at Huang Chang and Yang Jian and said, "With them two escorting me, I shouldn't have any big problems."
"No."
"Nothing can happen to either you or His Majesty!"
Prince Qing shook his head.
But right now, the only ones who can go to negotiate are Huangfu Qingling and Lin Yi.
Although Lin Yi did not hold any actual official position, everyone in the court could see that Huangfu Qingling was behind Lin Yi.
"He wants to delay time, and we can delay time too."
Lin Yi decided, "It's a good opportunity to see the current situation in the capital. If we understand the inside, it will be easier to attack."
"Can……"
"Lin Yi, I really won't allow you to lose your life!"
Huangfu Qingling didn't want to go to this peace talk at all.
"Use peace talks to buy time, Your Majesty. After I go in, I will send someone to secretly report the situation in the capital."
"Xiao Changyun was so confident before, probably because he had the imperial seal in his hand."
"They are in a hurry to delay now, maybe the Jade Seal is of great use to them."
Lin Yi stated his conclusion: "Xiao Changyun should be waiting for reinforcements, and the jade seal is proof of that!"
