Chapter 114: Sun Shaozu(1/2)
The turmoil surrounding the request to establish a crown prince ended with the dismissal of the right governor, Yu Shi Bai Xun, for investigation, and the imperial envoy Zhao Hong, who was demoted to Sichuan as the county magistrate.
After meeting Dai Quan, Lin Yun found out that Bai Xun was Bai Yuan's younger brother. He was the one behind it when he asked Zhao Hong, the imperial emissary, to write a letter asking for the establishment of a crown prince. His purpose was to use the queen's help to deal with the evil concubine Xian Fei.
Jia family.
Lin Yun felt a little strange after hearing this. The right governor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate was only a fourth-rank official, and he definitely did not have such great power in the court. There should be someone behind this secretly adding fuel to the fire.
He wanted to remind Dai Quan a few words, but then he thought that this old guy must be smarter than him. Since he didn't dig deeper, he must have got the emperor's instructions and didn't want to make this matter a big deal.
After the incident of asking for a crown prince, King Wu's request to be crown prince was not approved, and he was ordered by the emperor to think about his mistakes behind closed doors.
At the same time, the two sons Ning Jing and Ning Ke born to the queen were named King of Chu and King of Qi respectively. At this point, the matter of asking for the establishment of a prince was concluded.
…
In early November, Lin Yun finally received an official document from the Ministry of War, appointing him as the staff general of Zuowuwei in Beijing camp, and reported to Beijing camp three days later.
After receiving the official document from the Ministry of War, Lin Yun was both excited and nervous. The emperor still insisted on using him despite Prince Xuan's dissuasion. This proved that Emperor Zhide was a very courageous emperor. Is this a blessing or a curse for him?
, it’s really hard to say.
However, he still wants to seize this opportunity. Now the emperor is short of available people, so he will use him. If the internal and external troubles are eliminated, then he will have no choice but to stand aside.
Lin Yun was granted the rank of general, which surprised Qin Keqing, Xiang Ling, Ping'er, Yingge, and the maids in the mansion. Even Shi Xiangyun was happy for Lin Yun.
Daiyu was very unhappy. She felt that Lin Yun would have no time to play with her since he had a formal official position.
Lin Yun had no time to make Daiyu happy. As soon as the news spread, several friends came over to congratulate him and even took him to Jinxiangyuan to celebrate.
…
In the morning, Lin Yun, Ning Heng, Feng Ziying, Jia Lian, and Xue Pan came to Jinxiang Courtyard to drink and celebrate. Ning Yue was studying at Yichen Academy and was unable to attend their party.
When everyone arrived at the gate of Jinxiang Courtyard, a turtle slave immediately came out to welcome them and warmly welcomed them inside.
As Ning Heng walked, he ordered Gui Nu: "Go and ask Miss Evian to come drink with us."
The turtle slave smiled and said: "My dear prince, Miss Evian is performing a song and dance for the guests. Please wait a moment."
Ning Heng said angrily: "Fart! You actually made me wait for a prostitute?"
The turtle slave said with a bitter face: "Young prince, those guests are all paid, we don't want to break the rules."
Ning Heng was about to reprimand the turtle slave when Mother Chen came out quickly and smiled at Ning Heng: "Little prince, who made you angry?"
Ning Heng said dissatisfied: "We came to see Miss Evian dance, but your people said she was not free. Do you want us to drink at another restaurant?"
Mother Chen quickly smiled and said: "If you have time, if you have time, please wait a moment, Miss Evian will finish her performance soon."
Xue Pan: "If you drive the guests away quickly, I will compensate you for how much money you will lose."
Mother Chen looked at Jia Lian and said with an embarrassed look on her face: "This is not good."
Jia Lian was also a frequent visitor here. Seeing that Chen's mother was in trouble, he smiled at Lin Yun and said, "Brother Yun, let's go to the lobby to have a drink. There are more people there and it's more lively."
Lin Yun nodded and said, "Okay, just listen to Brother Lian."
When Ning Heng and Xue Pan saw Lin Yun speaking, they no longer objected.
Mother Chen said happily: "Young gentlemen, I will lead you over."
…
Several people followed Mother Chen to the performance hall in the backyard. When they entered the door, they saw more than 30 tables set up in the spacious hall, and dozens of guests were drinking and watching the performance.
Looking towards the stage opposite, I saw five or six girls in light gauze skirts dancing to the music. The girl in red in the middle was the Evian girl.
Mother Chen asked someone to put together two tables for them, and asked the maid to serve them wine and food. After settling them in, she said goodbye and left.
…
After a while, the music stopped, the singer on the stage finished dancing, and the guests below immediately cheered.
Immediately, a young boy shouted loudly among the guests: "Master Zhao Yun will reward Miss Evian with fifty taels of silver."
Among the guests, a handsome young man stood up and raised his glass to pay tribute to the Evian girl standing on the stage.
Someone opened the door, the guests in the audience were thirty taels for you and fifty taels for me, and the sounds of rewards continued one after another.
Lin Yun thought to himself: "I didn't expect that drinking wine here in the capital is much worse than in Jiangnan. The rewards from the guests are only dozens of taels of silver."
At this time, Xue Pan called a boy, took out a banknote, put it on the tray in the boy's hand, and said: "Master, I will reward Miss Evian with one hundred taels of silver."
The boy asked his name and immediately shouted at the top of his voice: "Xue Pan, Mr. Xue will reward Miss Evian with a hundred taels of silver for her tattoo."
"Master Xue is so courageous!"
Someone among the guests immediately applauded Xue Pan, and Xue Pan opened his mouth in triumph.
Lin Yun laughed secretly in his heart, "Xue Pan, this silly boy, can't even tell who is being entrusted, and he is still here having fun. I never expected that he would be entrusted now."
Just when Lin Yun was thinking about his thoughts, someone shouted loudly: "Master Sun Shao will reward Miss Eyun with one hundred and fifty taels of silver for her tattoo."
When Lin Yun heard the three words "Sun Shaozu", he immediately opened his eyes and looked into the crowd. He saw a dark-skinned young general sitting next to the young man named Zhao Yun, raising a glass to thank the cheering guests.
Lin Yun asked Ning Heng: "Do you know that Sun Shaozu?"
Ning Heng shook his head and said: "I don't know him. However, I do know the Zhao Yun next to him."
"Oh, where is he from?"
Ning Heng: "Zhao Yun is the son of Zhao Shu, the left minister of the Ministry of War. Like you, he is also a civil servant."
Feng Ziying smiled at Xue Pan and said: "Brother Xue, someone wants to slap you in the face, why don't you hit him back quickly?"
Xue Pan said awkwardly: "I went out in a hurry today and didn't bring enough banknotes."
Ning Heng smiled and said: "Just wait, brother, I will call you back."
Just as he was about to wave for the boy, Lin Yun raised his hand to stop him and said with a smile: "Let Brother Xue fight back by himself, that would be interesting."
After saying that, he took out a few banknotes from his arms and handed them to Xue Pan, "How to hit him in the face? You don't need me to teach you?"
Xue Pan was overjoyed when he saw this. He quickly took the banknote from Lin Yun's hand, called the boy next to him, threw the banknote onto the plate, and shouted loudly: "These will be given to Miss Evian as a reward."
The boy counted the silver notes on the plate and immediately shouted at the top of his lungs: "Xue Pan, Master Xue has rewarded Miss Evian with another five hundred taels of silver."
When all the guests heard this, they all cheered.
Xue Pan shook his big head and challenged Sun Shaozu: "Black carbon head, if you have the guts, just increase it. If you act like a turtle with a shrunken head, you are the son of a bitch."
Ning Heng: "Well done!"
Feng Ziying: "Continue to scold me and see if he still dares to be crazy in front of men."
Lin Yun was holding the wine glass and drinking while looking at Sun Shaozu. He saw that the guy's face turned green and white for a while, and he raised his hand in the air, but in the end he lowered it.
Xue Pan mocked: "Coward! You don't even have a thousand eight hundred taels of silver in your pocket, but you still dare to challenge me."
Sun Shaozu stood up suddenly, grabbed the wine glass on the table and threw it at Xue Pan's face.
With quick eyes and quick hands, Lin Yun stretched out his hand to catch the flying wine glass and said in a cold voice: "This is not a place for you to act wild. If you are sensible, get out of here to avoid humiliating yourself."
Xue Pan was almost hit by the wine glass. He was so angry that he jumped up and cursed: "What kind of wild boy do you dare to sneak up on me? Let's see how I deal with you."
Ning Heng also stood up from his seat, rolled up his sleeves, and rushed over with excitement on his face, shouting loudly: "Shameless little thief, why don't you do it if you can't stop talking? It just so happens that my hands are itchy today, so I'll use you to practice."
practice."
As soon as he finished speaking, he punched Sun Shaozu in the face.
Sun Shaozu dodged quickly, raised his right foot and swept Ning Heng into a corner.
He was just about to go up and give him a kick, but he saw Zhao Yun standing next to him and said urgently to him: "Stop, that's Mr. Ning."
Sun Shaozu was shocked when he heard this. He just wanted to apologize to Ning Heng who got up, but he was rushed away by the frightened guests who were running around.
When Xue Pan saw that Ning Heng was holding back his food, he was so frightened that he did not dare to rush forward.
Lin Yun was shocked when he saw this. He really didn't expect that Sun Shaozu could defeat Ning Heng easily.
However, when he saw Sun Shaozu trying to escape, he immediately flew over and punched Sun Shaozu in the chest with his right fist.
Sun Shaozu immediately punched back. As he was fighting, he shouted to Zhao Yun: "Brother Zhao, please explain to me quickly."
When Zhao Yun saw him beating the young prince, how could he dare to stay and explain to him? He had already disappeared out of sight while the crowd was running away.
When Sun Shaozu saw Zhao Yun running away, he had no choice but to fight with Lin Yun while shouting loudly: "Misunderstandings, all misunderstandings, I didn't know he was the young prince,"
Ning Heng shouted from the side: "Brother Lin, beat him first and then listen to his explanation."
Lin Yun and Sun Shaozu's martial arts skills were comparable, and their strength was also between them. However, Lin Yunsheng and Zhenzhu learned many weird moves, which made Sun Shaozu unable to guard against them.
In addition, Sun Shaozu felt guilty and hesitated to take action, and he soon fell into defeat.
The two exchanged blows for only seven or eight times before Sun Shaozu was hit hard in the face by Lin Yun, causing him to fall backwards and knock the table behind him to the ground.
Amidst the cheers from Ning Heng and others, Lin Yun stepped on Sun Shaozu's chest, raised his hand and shot left and right at his face, hitting him until his nose started to bleed.
Jia Lian gasped as he saw it. This was the first time he saw Lin Yun beating someone so viciously.
At this moment, Chen's mother ran in from outside the door and stepped forward to persuade Lin Yun: "Mr. Lin, stop fighting. If someone is killed, I won't be able to explain to the government."
Lin Yun stood up, raised his foot and kicked Sun Shaozu hard, and cursed: "You bitch, you dare to hit even the young prince, I think you don't want to live anymore."
