Chapter 249 (1/2)
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.
