Lin Gong is a good brother who protects his sister. He thinks that Fan Xian has bad conduct and is not worthy of Lin Wan'er. At the same time, he was also confused by the eldest princess, so he wanted Lin Wan'er to withdraw from the marriage. He wanted to kill Fan Xian before he quit the marriage. He could only say that he took the wrong path and followed the wrong person. However, all this is because he is worried about his sister Lin Wan'er. Instigated by the eldest princess Li Yunrui, Lin Gong assassinated Fan Xian. He believed that it was impossible for Fan Xian to truly control the financial power of the "internal treasury". Because Fan Xian's enemy is the future emperor, the prince.
After Lin Gong died, Lin Xiang found Fan Xian, took him to the study and showed him Lin Gong's calligraphy when he was a child. When Lin Gong was eight or nine years old, he had good calligraphy and high ambitions. He looks forward to great achievements and glory in the future. Lin Gong knew when he was very young that his brother was a fool and his sister was a tuberculosis patient. As the only healthy person in the family and as a man, he has a great responsibility to provide for his family. When Fan Xian didn't show up, he took refuge with the prince and Princess Long. Later, Emperor Qing ordered Lin Waner and Fan Xian to get married, and things changed, but Lin Gong didn't know the truth about Fan Xian's life.
From this perspective, there are many ways and other ways to exit a marriage. You don't have to kill. At least from Lin Gong's point of view, there was no need to kill Fan Xian. After all, there wasn't that much hatred between him and Fan Xian. In the final analysis, the reason why Lin Gong wanted to kill Fan Xian was because of the eldest princess. It is not difficult to guess that when Lin Wan'er expressed that she did not want to marry Fan Xian, Lin Gong could turn to three people for help: Lin Ruofu, the prince and the eldest princess.
Lin Ruofu once went to see Emperor Qing about this matter, but he failed. So Lin Gong will not ask him again. Lin Gong would go to the prince to beg him, but after Guo Baokun was beaten, the prince became more cautious because Mei Zhili was killed. He neither dared to ask for the dissolution of the engagement nor organized the assassination of Fan Xian. Lin Gong went to ask the eldest princess whose suggestion was to assassinate her on Niulan Street. Lin Gong asked three people for advice, and only the eldest princess gave him clear advice.
In this way, Lin Gong, who had no resentment towards Fan Xian in the past and had no enemies recently, held high the banner of sister control. After the eldest princess was hypnotized, she was involved in the Niulan Street assassination case in a trance. . But in the end, not only did he fail to protect his sister, but he also lost his own life. He remains a very sad character.
