Chapter 2118 Petition
The Ganqing Palace under the setting sun is filled with royal majesty.
Lin Qingran went straight to Ganqing's door. Whether it was for the purpose of serving or to dispel Longqing's suspicion, the best choice was undoubtedly to come to meet the saint as soon as possible.
Although Longqing was neither as clever as Jiajing, nor knew the emperor's mind, and was even just a lustful person who was lazy in politics, he was still the emperor of the Ming Dynasty after all.
But no matter whether the emperor is smart or not, his moral character, or whether he loves the people as much as his son, as long as he sits in this position, there will be a group of officials and generals loyal to him.
Lin Xuran knew that the key to the struggle with Xu Jie still depends on the emperor. If this emperor could stand firmly on his side, Xu Jie would not be worried at all.
The little eunuch came inside and reported that Chen Hong didn't know how to greet him in person.
Although Chen Hong's status has declined after two dynasties, he was favored by Longqing by his personal ability, and now he is still in the position of Silijian and Bible Chief.
The two of them had already met each other. When Chen Hong saw Lin Weiran returning in triumphantly, he looked very happy and said, "Gei Master Lin, you are a great hero of our Ming Dynasty!"
"Eunuch Chen praised it. I just did what my ministers should do, and I can't be a great hero!" Lin Junran responded modestly in the face of the enthusiastic Chen Hong.
Chen Hong shook his head immediately and emphasized seriously: "No, the sixty thousand Tartars went south to Shanxi, and Shizhou City was almost invaded, but fortunately, Mr. Lin was able to plan and let Altan escape in a hurry. You will naturally be I can afford this…!”
Lin Qingran listened to Chen Hong's long speech and looked at the Ganqing Palace thoughtfully, then turned his head and looked at Chen Hong with a smile.
Chen Hong knew that Lin Xuran guessed his intention, and raised his hand helplessly and said, "Gei Master Lin, let's go slowly!"
It was a short distance from Ganqing Gate to Ganqing Palace, and the two of them also slowed down tacitly.
Chen Hong looked at the left and right and lowered his voice, "There are many people who are chewing around the emperor recently. Li Fang and Xu Jie are in the same group, so you have to be careful!"
Lin Xuran knew that this was not Chen Hong wanted to use his own hands to get rid of Li Fang. I'm afraid this is indeed a fact. If he were Xu Jie, he would have done this.
The Ganqing Palace is very different from the Wanshou Palace, especially the Three Qing Daozu will not be worshipped here. When you enter it, the right side is Longqing's office.
Longqing is already an image of a diligent monarch. In the afterglow reflected in the window, he looked very focused when he was flipping through the pile of memorials on the desk.
Lin Qingran noticed that there was a plate of unfinished pastries on the table next to him. The teacup was still steaming with heat, but he knelt down as if he was completely ignored and said, "I am Lin Qingran back to Beijing to pay for the service, long live my emperor. Long live!"
Although he had just made a great contribution, he not only did not become arrogant in his heart, but instead became more restrained. However, he knew that this dynasty could tolerate the greedy Yan Song and the inaction of Xu Jie, but he could not tolerate him like this in the army. Influential ministers.
Longqing was pretending to behave, trying to retain the image of a wise king for Lin Xuran. Now when he saw Lin Xuran saluting, he immediately raised his hand and said, "Lin Aiqing, flat!"
"Thank you, my emperor, long live my emperor!" Lin Qingran immediately gave a thank-you gift, then stood up from the ground, and at the same time carefully examined the emperor.
Longqing seemed quite young in his early thirties, but his eyes were dull and his mind was stupid, but his appearance gave people a feeling of being honest and bullied.
Although he is not as full of emperorly domineering as Jiajing, he is no longer the cowardly King Yu who was kept in captivity in the past, but also has some emperor's majesty.
Long Qing's reaction seemed slow, but when the organization wanted to say something to Lin Xuran, he suddenly noticed the white bandage wrapped around Lin Xuran's hand, and asked in confusion: "Lin Aiqing, your hand..."
"Report to the emperor, I was assassinated by a traitor. Fortunately, I was not seriously injured. If I had any trouble, the emperor was worried!" Lin Junran also had his acting skills and bowed slightly, looking like he was devoted to the country.
Seeing Lin Weiran like this, Longqing's original suspicious thoughts were wiped out, but he sympathized with the old master who almost couldn't come back to Shanxi.
Compared with those ministers who only quarrel in the court every day, this Lin Pavilion is so much better, but it allows him to sleep peacefully.
Long Qing hesitated for a moment and said generously: "Gei Master Lin, I... I am very pleased with you, but I don't know what appreciation you want?"
When Chen Hong heard this question, he looked at Longqing strangely. After spending all these time together, the emperor was extremely stingy, but he didn't expect to be so generous now.
"Your Majesty, this is my duty, and I dare not ask for gifts!" Lin Qinran had already made up his mind and refused to speak out immediately.
At his level, not to mention that he is already rich enough to rival a country, but just Bing Jing and Tan Jing have made him feel lenient, but he doesn't need any gold and silver rewards at all.
As for the official position, he has already joined the cabinet and the cabinet minister is a stage of rest. He has always been able to continue to make progress by leaving the frontier, but he has not surpassed the cabinet ministers before he has promoted the emperor.
When Longqing heard Lin Xuran's rejection, he felt relieved and said, "Don't give me a reward, then just slow down first. Now I'm not at ease!"
Lin Weiran heard Long Qing suddenly complaining to him, and he couldn't help but feel a little moved, but he didn't know if Long Qing was inspired or had something in his words.
However, he also had his own plan, so he took the opportunity to make a request and said: "Your Majesty, I can do not give up the hearts of the meritorious soldiers. Now that the war has been completed, the list of meritorious soldiers has been handed over to the court.
Hall, please ask the emperor to order the Ministry of Revenue to allocate silver rewards as soon as possible!”
After this great victory, we naturally need to reward merit and a large amount of financial expenditure. Not to mention the reward of meritorious soldiers, the pension of many fallen soldiers is also a considerable amount.
Expenditure, so this is a relatively difficult problem.
The reason why he suddenly threw it out at this time was mainly because he knew the financial situation of the Ming Dynasty very well and the complexity of the court.
The Ministry of War, in charge of his subordinates, will naturally not take the opportunity to make money, but if the desperate soldiers cannot be afforded, or if they are promising to be delayed by Xu Jie, it will not only violate his clear principles of military use, but will also give Daming a message.
The border defense lays a major hidden danger.
Chapter completed!
