A figure in a red official robe came in slowly. His clothes were very colorful. But in this gloomy hall, he felt a bit desolate, like an old attic where things are different. The red lacquer is still there, but there is a kind of mottled old desolation.
The man stopped in front of empress Yide and knelt down at the corner of his robe. He said in a loud voice, "minister, Captain Lin, meet the Empress Dowager --"
empress Yide didn't speak. She just stared at the people kneeling in the hall. Aunt Rao Shi Yang was also surprised.
Lin Wei, this name in the great Jin Dynasty, is today's civil and military officials, in addition to the new officials, no one is unfamiliar with this name. The elegant tanhualang is eloquent. At the beginning, he argued with the old people in the Imperial Academy, but he didn't fall behind at all when he was young. The stubborn beards of the people who taught in the Imperial Academy were all pulled off.
And the most talked about, or about this person and Prince Hongxi original friendship. Prince Hongxi is a courteous corporal, but because of his status as the prince, he can't be too close to others. He can only treat this tanhualang, Lin Wei, with sincere admiration. When the former Emperor was alive, Prince Hongxi also said: with this man, Dajin can guarantee the government for 20 years.
Such a handsome, young and promising tanhualang asked himself to resign after Prince Hongxi's accident. Although the reason is not suitable for the official career, people with clear eyes can see that he is because of Prince Hongxi. How can such a talented young man who attaches great importance to love and righteousness not let people sigh. It was difficult to produce a Lin Wei in the hundred years of the Jin Dynasty. But after Lin Wei resigned and retired, there was no news. The emperor also inquired about Lin Wei's news openly and secretly, but in the end they all failed. People only said that the person is no longer in the world, otherwise such a wonderful and gorgeous person would not be buried anywhere. How could he have been unknown for so many years.
Aunt Yang turned her mind and looked at the man in front of her. Compared with the young man at the beginning, Lin Wei had obviously added a little wind and frost, but it didn't make him look haggard and old, on the contrary, it added a unique charm to him. It was the calm after the world, with the heroic spirit of a mature man. Aunt Yang was in a trance. When Lin Wei was visiting flowers in senior high school, she was just a little girl. All the young girls had a heart for this visiting flower boy. Unexpectedly, so many years have passed, and the people in front of her are not as sharp as they used to be. If we say that the original Lin Wei is a shining pearl, now it is like a gentle jade, tempered by the years of peace and deep.
Empress Dowager Yide finally spoke, but she didn't let Lin Wei get up. She only said, "it's been more than 20 years. Lin Qing's family is still alive."
Lin Wei smile: "a farewell after years, Empress Dowager Phoenix Health, Lin Wei will rest assured."
Aunt Yang lowered her eyes and carefully continued to beat her shoulder for Empress Yide, but she was a little absent-minded, and her strength was not as good as just now. The Empress Dowager Yide didn't notice. She turned her eyes and closed her eyes slightly. Her voice was not salty and said, "I've never heard from you for so many years. Where have you been?"
There was not a trace of blame in the words, just like an old friend's reminiscence. Lin Wei knelt on the ground and replied, "I didn't go anywhere. I've been here all the time."
The Empress Dowager Yide's breath stagnated slightly, and then said, "are you in the capital?"
"Exactly." Answer Lin Wei.
Empress Dowager Yide was silent for a long time, then she suddenly gave a smile: "I see. No wonder the emperor can't find you anywhere. You are beside him...". You protected him for so many years. Lin Wei, you even cheated the AI family. "
"Wei Chen just wanted to take good care of the little master," Lin Wei replied, "at the beginning, his royal highness entrusted the little master to the king, and also to Wei Chen. Weichen vowed to follow his highness to the death, and he would only live for the little master all his life. "
There was a long silence in the hall. After a long time, the Empress Dowager Yide waved her hand wearily: "your words are always true. Since he has entrusted his son to you, even if he believes in you, he has nothing to say about mourning his family. " She sighed: "just, but also wronged you."
"I don't feel aggrieved." There was a smile on Lin Wei's face, which softened his originally solemn look. He was in a trance with the wanton demeanor of playing mahongxiu building. Instead, it was a kind of comfort: "I watched my master grow up, I watched my master lose his teeth for the first time, and now I'm still watching my master get married. I've finished my highness's life Entrusted, I don't feel aggrieved. "
Aunt Yang was not moved by the sincerity of these words. The Empress Dowager Yide stopped and said, "why did you enter the palace today?"
After more than ten years, Tan Hua Lang, who lives a down-to-earth life in anonymity, has come back to reality, which means that his identity is about to be exposed. This is undoubtedly a loss to Lin Wei, who has been hiding for many years, but he still does it. What made him prefer to abandon his stable life and enter the palace? It's not necessarily because of his wealth. If he really wanted to be rich, he would not have resigned many years ago. In fact, they both know what the purpose is.
"Empress dowager, when I first became an official, I wanted to help the monarch of the world. Later, my highness the prince died. Even though I had all my skills, I was useless. Now Mingjun reappears, and Weichen still wants to assist the princess. ""Presumptuous!" Without waiting for Lin Wei to finish, the Empress Dowager Yide said, "are you saying that the emperor is not Mingjun? How dare you, Captain Lin
If the emperor was alive, he would not be able to chop off Lin Wei's ten heads. The meaning of his words is that the emperor he recognized was Prince Hongxi, so it was not Prince Hongxi who took the seat later. It didn't matter to Lin Wei. He disdained to help!
Lin Wei heard empress dowager Yide's angry words, but he didn't beg for mercy. He still knelt quietly in the same place, but his back was straight. He was stunned, which made people see that he was stubborn and unyielding. Obviously, he didn't think there was anything wrong with what he said.
The atmosphere of catching the ghost in the hall became very tense for a moment, and aunt Yang could not help holding her breath. I don't know how long the stalemate lasted before I heard empress Yide sneer: "are you really as bold as ever?"
If Liu Min, who was born in the imperial examination at the same time as Lin Wei, was also upright and stubborn, but he was far worse than Lin Tanhua. When the former Emperor was alive, he didn't like Prince Hongxi, but he appreciated Lin Wei very much. Lin Wei has the courage to smooth a tiger's beard and the ability to smooth the tiger's irritability. He was a lawless Lord. Many people in the court did not hesitate to say what they did not dare to say in front of the emperor. Even sometimes they would touch the scale of the emperor, but in the end it was thunder and rain.
In fact, Lin Wei is very smart. The most taboo thing for those who are in charge is that the minister will feel his mind completely. It's not a good thing if the minister is too smart. In the eyes of the emperor, there is no doubt that Lin Wei is such a straightforward person. If he has two or three talents, he is a rare talent. Lin Wei is straightforward and has seven or eight points of talent. The emperor is very satisfied and will not be punished easily.
Now that Lin Wei is still commenting on the emperor in front of empress Yide, empress Yide is a little stunned. It seems that the man kneeling down in front of her is back to the original Jinluan palace. At that time, nothing happened. She closed her eyes and said in a deep voice, "well, the Emperor didn't care about you at the beginning. What can I care about my family?" She looked at Lin Wei, her eyes suddenly became sharp: "what do you want to do?"
"I beg the Empress Dowager to allow me to become an official with the imperial edict of the former Emperor," said Lin Wei.
With these words, aunt Yang could not help but stop her action and looked at Lin Wei with a look of amazement.
"When the former Emperor was alive, he once gave his ministers a will. As long as they were willing, they would be ministers all their lives." Lin Wei continued: "only later did I resign and return to seclusion, but the imperial edict is still there. Now I dare to beg the Empress Dowager for mercy. I invite myself to be an official -"
"you are crazy..." Yide murmured.
The minister who has been away from the temple for many years suddenly wants to become an official for no reason one day. It's ridiculous to anyone. But Lin Wei is still serious. Aunt Yang and Empress Dowager Yide don't think he's joking.
"Even if you hold the imperial edict of the late emperor, it is against the official way and is bound to cause numerous rumors. What are you doing! " Empress Dowager Yide said in a cold voice. Looking at Lin Wei's eyes is a little complicated. Lin Wei said that if there is an imperial edict in his hand, there must be an imperial edict. However, after the death of the former Emperor for such a long time, every turbulence in the court today is closely related to what may happen in the future. When Lin Wei chose to be an official at this time, did he not put the handle in front of others. Although empress dowager Yide called the wind and rain when she was young, now she has to serve her old age. These days, the pressure given by the people who support Xuanli is also very hard. She dare not think about what kind of turbulence will be caused when Lin Wei's true news is spread.
"I don't have any nonsense," said Lin Wei. "The emperor of Ming Dynasty has come out. I just try my best to help him. I hope the Empress Dowager will succeed."
Empress Yide got up from her seat and went to Lin Wei. She looked at him condescending, not angry but smiling: "Mingjun? I also want to know who the emperor of the world is At the end of the day, her voice suddenly showed a trace of anger and depression. These days, she looked coldly at the ups and downs of the court, and the time repeated with the past, which reminded her of the scene when the eight kings seized the throne when the former Emperor was alive. And now, Lin Wei, an old minister of the past, dare to say: Fu Zuo Ming Jun.
Mingjun! Where does Mingjun come from in this world? If he wins, he is Mingjun. If he loses, he can only let history books waste his life at will. No one can help him.
"The Empress Dowager is far sighted. Naturally, she knows who knows who is the emperor." Lin Wei suddenly bowed his head to empress dowager Yide and kowtowed: "I will be loyal to my master all my life. I will finish my master's orders. There is no difference in the hands of the people and the officials in the world, but the little master wants it to be his
Aunt Yang's hand slightly, this can be said to be arrogant to the extreme, almost the world people are not in the eye. Aunt Yang said that Lin Tanhua was the most courageous in the middle of the dynasty. She didn't believe it. Now she can see it. Not only that, after many years, this man's temperament has increased. Where did he get the courage?
What is surprising is not only the courage of Lin Wei, but also the attitude of empress Yide. The Empress Dowager Yide was silent for a long time. Without saying a word, she turned back to her seat. The ruby armor in her hand unconsciously crossed the carved clouds on the seat. The small voice was very clear in the quiet hall. After a long time, she sighed and said, "the will of heaven, the will of heaven will come out today."She raised her hand and said in a clear voice, "it's time to be an official and mourn my family."
"Thank you, Empress Dowager." Lin Wei kowtows to empress Yide again.
"Lin Qing's family, think about it." The Empress Dowager Yide looked at him: "no one knows what will happen in the future. It's your own way to assist the king. One day you will become a stepping stone, and you will be willing to. Don't blame me for not reminding you of this. "
Lin Wei smiles and says in a loud voice: "I will remember the lesson of the Empress Dowager."
……
On this day, some people in the palace were restless. At the eighth Prince's house, Xuan Li got the news and discussed with his staff for a long time.
"That person must be the helper that the Empress Dowager seeks. If your highness doesn't wait for the matter to be settled at this time, he should start early and kill them unprepared." An aide suggested.
A strange man came to the palace, holding the token given by Prince Hongxi, and asked to see empress Yide. The person who came to report didn't say who that person was. It's just that holding a spirit card is enough to attract people's attention.
"That's not true. That person is probably Prince Hongxi's old friend. Since he entered the palace, he must be ready. It's not beautiful to start so rashly. Now that his Highness has taken the lead, there's no need to worry too much. It's better to wait and see the change, know yourself and your opponent, and win a hundred battles." Another aide, however, held the opposite view.
Xuanli frowned. This argument has been going on for a whole afternoon. His disciples are divided into two groups. One group thinks that we should act according to the plan, no matter who the other party is coming from. The other group thinks that there is something strange about it. Don't get caught in the enemy's trick. The two sides have their own views, which are all reasonable, and the debate has not yet come to a conclusion. Xuanli was a little upset in his heart.
He didn't know where his impatience came from. These days, he hid his actions. In order to prevent being caught, he had never even seen the place where Jiang Ruan was locked up. The news Yuanchuan brought back was that Jiang Ruan showed that so far there were no back moves, and their plan was feasible. But Xuanli's spies also said that Jiang Ruan's diet was as usual, and he looked very at ease.
Xuanli was puzzled that Yuanchuan and he were allies, and now they need him to ascend the throne to rely on his power. Before that, he would not do anything, let alone cheat him in the matter of Jiang Ruan. There is no need for his spies to lie. Jiang Ruan Mingming is worried about his future. Why is he still so calm?
Xiao Shao's royal guards are searching for Jiang Ruan's whereabouts everywhere, which is beyond doubt. But xuanpei in the palace didn't move. Xuanli didn't think that xuanpei was a man waiting to die. He should think of some way to change the current situation, but he didn't. xuanpei was surprisingly quiet, and he was very calm during house arrest.
The Zhao family and Jiang Xinzhi didn't complain about the wrongs of the family who had been put into the prison. These people also bite their teeth in the daily interrogation of the Ministry of punishment. With Xiao Shao saying hello, those people dare not Lynch the Zhao family and Jiang Xinzhi. It can be said that the threat has not been burned, but it is useless.
Even mu Xirou, who had already been convicted of death, was calm when she learned that she was about to be executed more than ten days later, as if she had already expected the outcome. Most of the chess pieces sent by people, especially the most important ones, are dead men who know their own ending. This is nothing to blame, but Xuanli once saw that mu Xirou's calmness was not the calmness he had expected for his own ending, but a kind of light joy that seemed to contain liberation. Joy?
Xuanli only felt headache. These people were so calm that he could not help doubting his original plan. Now there are more strangers holding tokens, which makes him hesitant. He is a man who does things without fail, especially this time. So I finally turned back, interrupted the argument of the guests, left a sentence to watch the change and left.
However, this change was much earlier than everyone expected.
Because the next day, the Empress Dowager Yide announced a news that Lin Weilin, the great talent of the Tang Dynasty, who had resigned from office and returned to seclusion, and more than 20 years later, with the emperor's will in hand, were ordered to return to office.
As soon as the matter came out, Ju Chao was in an uproar.
Lin Wei's reputation is not unknown among the civil and military officials of the older generation. Even now many young officials in the court and his father and uncle are aware of it. Such a person who has full influence on the great Jin Dynasty, but now the situation is unpredictable now suddenly so high-profile back. Although this is in line with Lin Wei's uninhibited style, it's really shocking.
At that time, there were two waves in the court. A group of people strongly opposed Lin Wei's becoming an official, even with the emperor's will. He also moved out of his resignation and seclusion, saying that since he was dedicated to the country, why he wanted to go free and easy at the beginning, and now he came back, I'm afraid that he had ulterior motives. Another group of people strongly supported Lin Wei, saying only that Lin Wei had talent and strategy in his heart, and that staying in the imperial court was just for the prosperity of the great Jin Dynasty, which was the well-being of the people of the Jin Dynasty. Let's see which of today's civil servants is as talented as captain Lin. such a brilliant blade naturally requires many appointments.Those who opposed Lin Wei were from Xuanli. Since the first person Lin Wei met was empress Yide, they firmly believed that there must be a conspiracy. As for those who supported Lin Wei, they didn't support the thirteen princes, but most of them were old ministers in the original court, who also had friendship with Lin Wei. Lin Wei's influence among civil servants has remained unchanged for decades. If Liu Min is a model among the students, Lin Wei is a model among the civil servants, who has achieved the ultimate goal of being an official. It is the dream of all civil servants that one can scold the emperor, another can swim in the spring breeze, make friends with the crown prince, and finally get away and leave a good name.
But in fact, Lin didn't care what people outside said about him. Yide empress dowager's Yizhi has come down. Lin Wei still has the imperial edict of the former Emperor in his hand. Now where can anyone control him? Moreover, the people who supported his return were all senior officials in the imperial court. They had a high reputation, so no one could do anything about it. So tan Hua Lang, who had resigned and retired, came back in full view of the public.
Now that he's back, everyone can't help guessing why he's back. And Lin Wei really lived up to the expectations of the public. He took out his previous lawlessness. On the second day of becoming an official, he publicly gave a compromise in the court to explain the matter of setting up the crown prince as soon as possible. Moreover, he clearly showed that he supported the 13th Prince xuanpei.
It seems to have turned into a farce. No one thought that Lin Wei would do it. At that moment, some people who supported Xuanli quarreled with Lin Wei in the court. But who was Lin Wei? He used to argue with Confucians. Even after more than 20 years, his skill was no less sharp than before. The more sarcastic his words were, he didn't feel it at first. When he listened carefully, he just felt very old and spicy. Several ministers who supported Xuanli were angry, but they couldn't say a word.
Just like this, he began to lobby other officials. He was a scholar, and all the people he was looking for were civil servants in the court. Most of them were old and had a great position in the court. Of course, I have a full friendship with him. He had already made friends with Lin Wei. Lin Wei was a leader in the civil servants' mind. With his eloquence, it was almost less than a few days. Most of the civil servants who were still hesitating stood firmly in the group of thirteen princes.
In this world, civil servants seem to have no real power, but their role should not be underestimated. The students of civil servants are all over the world, and the scholars are the people who have a lot to say among the common people. If they lead all the good words to xuanpei, the 13th prince, they will not have a good reputation even if xuanpei leaves the throne later. Lin Wei's action is more and more presumptuous, finally, even Xuan Li, who is used to be patient, can't help it.
"If we go on like this, the spittle of civil servants will drown us," the staff said urgently, "Your Highness, we can't go on like this any more. We have to start as soon as possible. The later we delay it, I'm afraid that Lin Wei will cheat almost all the people in Jin Dynasty. "
Xuanli's eyes were deep. Naturally, he knew the truth. It turned out that Lin Wei had the idea. Although I don't know how Xuan Pei and Lin Wei get together, for Xuan Li, Lin Wei's existence is just like a fly, which turns people off. He turned the jade finger on his finger slowly and said coldly, "I can't bear it anymore. It's time to do it."
……
After returning to King Jinying's house, housekeeper Lin took off his official robe. Over the years, he has been used to wearing comfortable materials and the style of ordinary people. He is not used to this kind of formal and colorful clothes.
He just put on his usual clothes. As soon as he went out, he felt something was wrong. He looked up and saw Jin San sitting on the eaves, looking at him in his spare time. Lin housekeeper Leng Leng, immediately blow beard stare way: "see what see, girl home also don't know to pay attention to own posture!"
If it had been in the past, it would have been very pleasant, but with the handsome face of housekeeper Lin, it would have been a bit nondescript. Jin San spat out the grass in his mouth, jumped down and stood in front of housekeeper Lin. he shook his head and said, "tut Tut, people depend on clothes and horses depend on saddles. Lao Lin, it's very nice for you to dress up like this."
"I am a handsome man." Lin housekeeper smell speech proud smile: "calculate you have vision."
"Not only a beautiful man, but also a talented man." Jin San picked an eyebrow: "these days, your actions in the court are all crazy in our royal guards. They say that you are a real person who doesn't show your face, who plays a pig and eats a tiger, who is insidious, cunning and shameless..."
The front said very well, heard the back Lin housekeeper more and more feel wrong, quickly stopped Jin three words: "stop, stop, what do you say, can you say idioms? Is that a compliment? "
Jin three vomited out his tongue: "don't dislike people. They are not as good as housekeeper Lin. Yes, I have something to tell you Then he took out a thick pile of things from his arms. Housekeeper Lin was stunned at first. Then he opened it and found that it was the bank notes of Sihai bank. There were more than 100000 taels in a thick pile. He is a Leng: "what does this mean?"
"Now that you are an official in the court, you need to deal with everything. Besides, you have to cheat people to deal with the eighth prince. Those people are not fools. How can they willingly listen to you if they don't benefit. Scholars are the most hypocritical. On the surface, they say that money is something outside their bodies. In fact, they are eager to have more money. We in the royal guards don't think you have much money to spend, but you can't even sell your wife. So we gather some money to spend on your old scholar friend. No more money can be spent. "Lin housekeeper smell speech first is a meal, then just see to brocade three. The brocade three is calm with him to look at each other, don't have the slightest twist. Who is housekeeper Lin? He is very familiar with the royal guards when he takes care of Xiao Shao from childhood to adulthood. This man usually looks unreliable, but who knows what is behind him. It can be seen from the fact that Ken lived in anonymity beside Xiao Shao for so many years that he was really a determined man. Housekeeper Lin is not used to using the money in the house. He always pays money from his own account. He is not a bank. Where can he have so much money. Although the royal guards have never experienced those things in the court, they have never eaten pork, and they have seen pigs run. Knowing that housekeeper Lin is not easy, they have collected some money to send them.
"I can't take a child's money!" Housekeeper Lin said angrily, "what's more, there's a woman's money. Isn't it shortness of breath?"
"Oh, when you were housekeeper, you flattered the princess." Jin San said, "I don't know who that is? Oh, by the way, that's housekeeper Lin. now where is housekeeper Lin in the house? Only Lin Tanhua. The original one has been forgotten. Ah. Don't forget it. It's a pity that our young lady wants to help the palace, but someone can't save her face. She wants to make things difficult for her ridiculous self-esteem. Ah, there's no way -- "then she takes the money from housekeeper Lin and turns to leave.
"Stop!" Housekeeper Lin scolds. He walks to Jin San in three or two steps and grabs the money ticket: "it's not very unkind for me to refuse, so I accept it reluctantly." Jin three's last words still touched him, indeed, what face is not important, now the most important thing is to help the thirteen Prince ascend the throne. This silver is really indispensable. No matter how much silver there is in King Jinying's mansion, if war really starts in the future, where will the salary of the soldiers come from. Steward Lin has been a bit stretched these days. Everything has to pay a price. No matter how eloquent he is, he can't draw a pie of emptiness without practical things.
Brocade three smile with a smile, the amorous feelings of ten thousand kinds of Tuo Tuo hair: "in fact, this silver is not white take of, in fact, I also have a thing to ask, also want to ask Lin housekeeper help."
"What's the matter?" Housekeeper Lin asked curiously. Jin San usually has nothing to ask him.
"Well, I fell in love with the young master of the general's family, and planned to write a love poem, which would be quietly put by his bed at night. It's just that I don't know how to write this love poem. Since housekeeper Lin was a tanhualang, he must have a good literary talent. I'll do it for you. "
"Go away!" Housekeeper Lin walked away with a black face. On the way, he could still hear his voice murmuring to himself: "if you don't learn well, girl, what kind of love poem do you write...". Put it under the bed. What's the point
After housekeeper Lin left, Jin San shrugged. Jin Si jumped down from the back eaves and went to Jin San. Looking at the figure of housekeeper Lin, he sighed: "he's hard, too."
No matter how handsome he looks, he can't hide his tiredness. In recent days, housekeeper Lin has been lobbying wildly. On the one hand, he really wants to build momentum for the 13th prince, but more importantly, he puts pressure on Xuanli. It's just like fighting in a war. It takes a lot of ability to make Xuanli, who is used to forbearance, anxious. Housekeeper Lin's incessant lobbying and persuading civil servants would make Xuanli feel uneasy. Under such uneasiness, he would only carry out his plan ahead of time. In this way, housekeeper Lin's wish was achieved.
"I hope his hard work is not in vain." Jinsidao.
"I hope," Jin three put away the face of the color of laughter: "only hope to live up to the young lady's sacrifice and plan."
