"How much do you know about what happened early this morning?"
When Zhang Haoran heard these words, Lin Su regained consciousness, nodded slightly, and understood something...
"You have to be careful, the court officials may make an article about you."
Huh? Lin Su was slightly surprised: "What does this matter have to do with me?"
"Everyone knows that it has nothing to do with you, but this matter is taboo. As long as it makes His Majesty Longyan furious, how can the officials not accuse you? And as far as I know, the angle of their accusation is still there.
Somewhat lethal..."
The third prince reported to Your Majesty that Lin Su drank with King Chen before last year and got drunk...
The prince reported to his majesty that Tianjiguan and Dingzhou Hou Dengnan worked together to obtain the secret recipe of Qulin's printing and dyeing workshop, which aroused Lin Su's dissatisfaction. Shortly afterwards, Tianjiguan committed a serious crime. In fact, the child always believed that the Tianjiguan incident
Among them, Lin Su may be involved. This son's tricks are ever-changing and his thoughts are unpredictable. My father must be more vigilant...
Lin Su was amazed!
Isn't His Highness the Crown Prince too shady?
It was obviously aimed at him, but secretly it was aimed at the third prince. Everyone knew that Dingzhou Hou Deng Nan was the third prince's watchdog! Deng Nan and Tianji Guan had jointly acted. Doesn't it indirectly prove that the third prince had an affair with Tianji Guan?
?
Tianji Guan is now my father's biggest enemy, and anyone who has an affair with Tianji Guan is a stain.
When something happens to the Tianji Dao Sect, the court turns into a mess. The conflict has already begun and will surely become more intense...
These things could not be finished in a day or a night. After dinner, the two of them put aside their chores in the court and walked along the Liuxiang River. Today is the Lantern Festival, and tonight is the annual Flower Street Parade.
The rich and wealthy families in the city have all made floats, and now they have entered an intense rehearsal stage.
"How do you arrange the float parade tonight? Should you ask your brothers to accompany you, or your sisters?"
This topic is a bit embarrassing...
Lin Su looked at him: "Is your sister back?"
"You know that she can't come back... If she were here, I'm afraid you wouldn't mention her." Zhang Haoran didn't know what he felt in his heart.
"That……"
Before Lin Su made his final decision, a voice suddenly came from behind: "Brother Lin! Brother Zhang!"
Lin Su and Zhang Haoran turned around at the same time and saw a young man, Qu Zhe!
"Brother Zhe!"
"Brother Qu!"
Lin Su, Zhang Haoran, and Qu Zhe were candidates for the same subject in the palace examination that day. Although the status of the three of them is now very different, they still use their old names to show that they do not forget their old friendship.
"Brother Lin always doesn't go to Qufu when he comes to the capital. My grandfather has some ideas. How about going to Qufu during the Lantern Festival this year?"
It’s good to go to Qufu!
At least Zhang Haoran thinks it's okay.
My sister is not here, so the guy in front of me is most likely traveling with those beauties in Xishan. If I am not careful, my sister will be pushed aside. As a brother, it is hard to say anything. If I go to Qu's house, there will be nothing.
Lin Su nodded: "Okay, Brother Zhang, I'm going to Qu's house. You don't have to accompany me tonight. Go with your new and immortal wife!"
He and Qu Zhe walked all the way to Qu's house, with a relaxed gait and a relaxed expression. From the outside, it looked like a normal visit to relatives, but Lin Su also knew that Qu Zhe came to invite him this time for something important.
Mr. Qu is a man who has become a spirit. Normally, he will never approach him directly. He will only talk to him about matters through literary communication. If he specially invites him to come to the house, it means that what he wants to say cannot be communicated through other channels.
Method - He didn't even dare to use literary communication, which was considered absolutely private by ordinary people.
Entering the Qu Mansion, the steward of the Qu family bowed deeply: "Third Young Master, you haven't been here for some time."
Lin Su raised her hand and handed over a small bag: "Today is still the Lantern Festival, so I am stepping on the tail of the New Year to wish you a happy New Year."
"Third Young Master is too polite. How could this little old man be so virtuous..."
After some pleasantries, Qu Zhe and the housekeeper led him to the familiar study room in front.
The study door opened, and Qu Wendong sat cross-legged. In front of him was a tea set. Although the Lin family porcelain is basically used by the Qu family, this tea set is old. It is the one that Mr. Qu has used for decades.
.
Qu Zhe said: "Brother Lin, you talk to grandpa, I'm outside!"
After closing the door, the sound outside was immediately completely cut off. This study was in an absolute state of lockdown...
"Old man!" Lin Su cupped his hands.
"Sit!" Qu Wendong raised his hand gently.
Lin Su sat opposite him...
Qu Wendong said: "You finally put it to use."
He was talking about "the emperor in the Purple Gold Pavilion killed the emperor"...
He told Lin Su about this.
Lin Su used this thing to destroy the sky with three green bamboos that day. After the incident, Qu Wendong sternly warned him that this thing could not be used again.
But today, Lin Su still used it!
No one in the world linked this matter to Lin Su, except for one person, and that person was Qu Wendong.
As soon as Qu Wendong heard about this incident, he immediately understood that he was the one who did this shocking thing!
"I'm sorry, old man, I violated the original agreement between you and me, but please believe that this matter must be done!"
"I know! Since you want to do it, you have a reason to do it!" Qu Wendong sighed: "But once you do this, have you considered the unknown consequences clearly?"
Lin Su slowly held up the teacup: "I've thought about it carefully!"
"Tell me, what are the consequences?"
"Your Majesty will truly make up his mind to eliminate King Chen!"
This sentence is earth-shattering!
His Majesty has just issued a decree to confer a title on King Chen, commend him, and grant him the privileges that only a prince can have. He can come to the capital at any time and pay homage to the clan. That is the privilege of a prince.
However, he happened to say that His Majesty had made up his mind to eliminate King Chen.
And Qu Wendong was not surprised at all, and nodded slowly: "This matter will make the absolute taboo public. Even if His Majesty blocks the world's mouth, it can't be sealed at all. Only by clearing King Chen can he remove the fuel from the bottom and completely cut it off."
The Road to Restoration. How do you predict His Majesty will act?"
"His first step will be to comprehensively investigate the power that King Chen secretly controls."
Qu Wendong raised his eyes with surprise: "Do you know that King Chen has the power to control secretly?"
“I don’t know which ones there are, but I know there must be some!”
King Chen’s drunken life and dreams were all just an act.
Ge Xin admired King Chen.
King Chen is very well-informed, and he can receive even the top-level news in time. All this shows that King Chen is actually playing a big game in secret.
It's just that Lin Su doesn't intend to analyze it with anyone, even if it's Qu Wendong.
Qu Wendong didn't go into details, and his topic turned to: "What you did last night killed two birds with one stone. In addition to separating the Tianji Dao Sect from His Majesty, rescuing Princess Yufeng was also a masterstroke of yours, wasn't it?"
It is said that rescuing Princess Yufeng is the real and out-and-out masterful. The whole plan has nothing to do with Princess Yufeng. Just mentioning the word "Phoenix" forced His Majesty to change the imperial edict.
Because Your Majesty cannot confirm the divine prediction!
As long as Princess Yufeng marries into Prince Jin's Mansion in Xunyang, "Xunyang heard the Phoenix cry again" will be fully fulfilled.
The chain reaction would be enough to sink him into a quagmire and ruin all his previous efforts. If he wanted to eliminate the impact, he couldn't let Princess Yufeng enter Xunyang!
"yes!"
"I have come up with three reasons to save Princess Yufeng, but I don't know which reason you care about the most..."
"Tell me about it..."
"The first reason is that you are loyal to King Chen! The second reason is that you are showing your sword to Dayu! The third reason is that you personally do not want Princess Yufeng to marry someone else..."
Lin Su smiled: "The first reason is not valid. King Chen's arms and legs are in danger, so it is not my turn to be loyal to him. The second reason is not valid, I have already shown my sword to Da Yu, no less than this time. The third reason is not valid.
The reason is even more unfounded. Old man, you are probably committing the old habit of young people, pushing others to your advantage!"
Qu Wendong glanced at him and smiled: "Then what is your real reason?"
"The real reason is... I'm playing games with the officials. They make me unhappy, so I make them unable to do anything they want to do!"
Qu Wendong squinted at him, not sure whether this boy was telling the truth or a lie.
Generally among young people, he can see the Xiao Jiujiu in young people's hearts at a glance, and he can see even the most hidden ones, but he must also admit that the young man in front of him is an exception.
Okay, okay, forget it...
Qu Wendong gave him a cup of tea and started a different topic...
Did you know? The top event of literary and Taoism will be held in the Qinglian Mountain of Nanyang Ancient Kingdom, called Qinglian Forum. A few days ago, Nanyang Ancient Kingdom sent its credentials. There are seven places in the world. Don’t you want to fight for it?
Lin Su smiled: "Old man, I know you want me to become famous in Qinglian, thereby increasing my weight, attracting support from all sides, and increasing my bargaining chips in the court. But you still think about it with your toes.
You know, is this possible?"
There are seven places per country.
The power of recommendation rests with the court boss, and the power of decision rests with His Majesty.
Would they recommend him?
Even if it is recommended, will His Majesty agree?
Think about it with your toes, it’s impossible, okay?
Qu Wendong nodded heavily: "I also know that this is impossible, so I asked you, don't you have many ways? Think of a way to try?"
"I really don't want to think about this method. There are a lot of things to do this year. I will go on inspection tomorrow."
"Inspection?" Qu Wendong jumped slightly: "Which Zhizhou is so unlucky? If you go, I'm afraid that another person will fall on his back..."
Lin Su rolled his eyes and stood up directly: "I really have nothing to talk about with you. I'm going to talk to Brother Zhe about poetry..."
In Qu Zhe's study, Lin Su corrected the poems that Qu Zhe had written these days. Qu Zhe jumped for joy. His poems were mediocre, let alone saying that his poems were first-class in the capital circle. He also
It's really hard to find someone who can review his lyrics, and the person in front of him can do it.
Sure enough, the lyrics that had been polished for many days were still full of loopholes in Lin Su's eyes. Once he gave instructions, Qu Zhe immediately felt like he could clear the clouds and see the sun.
After correcting the words, Lin Su asked another question, how is the review of "Comments on the Holy Words" going?
When he left Beijing that day, Lin Jialiang left all 13 "Notes on the Holy Words" written by Lin Su to Qu Zhe, and told him to study them carefully, but never show them to others.
Qu Zhe strictly followed the instructions and studied hard for most of half a year, but no one in Qu's family knew what he was studying.
Qu Zhe habitually looked out the window and quietly approached Lin Su's ear: "Brother Lin, I'm really curious as to which master wrote these thirteen volumes of sacred annotations. I think even the dean of Bailu Academy
, it may not even be possible to write it down.”
"What I'm asking is, how did you read?" Lin Su glared at him.
Qu Zhe sighed: "How was your reading? How should I put it? There is only one sentence: I feel that all the books I have studied hard for more than ten years have been in vain!"
This sentence is the answer!
Even if he only read the thirteen volumes of "Commentary on the Holy Words" for more than half a year, he felt like he had read all the previous books in vain! This half year was the most important part of his study.
"Okay, I'm leaving!"
Lin Su left Qu Mansion and when he stepped out of the courtyard, he looked back at a window. There was a person inside the window, about a foot away from the window. From the outside, it was almost invisible, but Lin Su knew that
He is Qu Jin.
The former Jin Gongzi is now a down-and-out man. It has been more than half a year since he became haggard. Has he come out of the shadow of the past?
Don't know, don't care!
Anyway, no one is counting on the third generation of the Qu family.
As God testifies, the words "no one counts on him" are the biggest injury to Qu Jin in the past six months.
In the past, wherever he went, he was the only hope for the third generation of the Qu family. His grandfather had high hopes for him, his father was proud of him, and the proud men of the Lingyun Poetry Society also regarded him as a person of the same level. Everyone looked down upon the world and inspired him.
When writing, there is also a sense of pride that everyone is insignificant and only I am a flower.
But now, grandpa doesn't even have him in his eyes!
My father’s face also lost his pride!
The members of the Lingyun Poetry Society in the past became officials, fell into abjection, and broke the literary world. Suddenly, they were completely changed beyond recognition.
The coordinates of his life were completely lost.
His young heart was already filled with the harshness of the world.
Grandpa asked his father to tell him that only by getting out of the shadow of the past can he face his own life.
He really did this. For more than half a year, he studied poetry and books diligently, never leaving home, no longer high-spirited, no longer bossing the girl around. He thought he had slowly come out of it, and was no longer surprised by favors and humiliations. But today
Lin Su suddenly came to the door. He stood at the study window and looked outside, and suddenly felt that he was irritable again.
…
At night, the blue waves of the Liuxiang River are rippling, and the tall buildings on both sides of the bank are illuminated by red lanterns, making it as beautiful as a dream.
The moon also rises from the distant Bailu Mountain at this time, like a huge white jade plate.
The floats were moving on the streets and the crowds were buzzing.
Above the brothel, the sound of silk and bamboo could be heard vaguely in the wind: People looked for him thousands of times, but suddenly looking back, he was there in the dim light...
This song "The Sapphire Case" will be sung throughout the entire world tonight, even in the Nine Kingdoms and Thirteen States.
Just because it is a handed down Qingci written about the Lantern Festival.
The literary world has concluded that there is no other word after this word about the sapphire case on the Shangyuan Festival.
At the corner of the street, two people stood together. One was Lin Su, who was wearing a purple scribe's uniform and a purple turban.
Damn, she is not a man, but a beautiful girl, Lu Youwei, one of the three most talented women in the capital.
