Chapter Thirty-Four: An Opportunity to Make Merit

Lin Yiqiu lay leisurely on the purple bamboo chair, rocking.

There was a sudden noise outside, and the words sounded extremely indignant.

He strained his ears and listened.

"I just got news from the palace. An old monk came out of the mission and made a pair. It stumped all the civil and military officials in the court!"

"Is an old monk so powerful?"

"You know who the old monk is. He is a high-ranking monk in Huangchan Temple. He practices Zen philosophy and debates difficulties in the state of Wu. He is ranked second and no one dares to be ranked first."

"Even so, the adults in our court are useless. They can't even stand up to a monk, and they will bring shame on our great dynasty."

Xichang has conducted detailed investigations on everyone in the mission.

Naturally, the identity of the old monk cannot be concealed.

Lin Yiqiu's eyes lit up when he heard this. The opportunity to make a contribution has come!

If he could confront him and save face for the Daqian Dynasty, his great treasure would be saved.

Thinking of this, Lin Yiqiu shouted.

"Shen Lian, prepare the car, I want to enter the palace."

Shen Lian prepared the carriage and looked at Lin Yiqiu in surprise.

"Lord Governor, why are you in the palace at this time?"

Tonight there is a banquet held in the palace to entertain the envoys, and the people sitting there are civil and military officials from all over the court. Even if Lin Yiqiu is the governor of Xichang, he is not qualified to attend.

"Of course, I'm going to confront the old monk."

"Lord Governor, please stop joking, okay?"

Shen Lian's eyes were full of suspicion. The adults in the court were all stumped, and it was even less possible for others to confront him.

Lin Yiqiu did not explain, but raised the corners of his mouth with an enigmatic smile.

He is very confident and has more than two thousand years of cultural accumulation in his mind.

In itself, he has a reputation for not being interested in Mount History.

I've seen it a lot in my daily life, and I've definitely seen it for a long time.

Nowadays, it is not difficult to match a pair.

The palace was heavily guarded, and Lin Yiqiu, who was stopped, had to beg Emperor Qian's maid.

"Please, palace maid, please inform your majesty for me and say that I need to see you for something."

"I'm sorry, father-in-law, your Majesty is so angry right now. If you want to die, please don't bring me down."

The palace maid also knew that Emperor Qian would definitely be angry when the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty were stumped by a pair. How could she dare to touch Long Wei.

After the palace maid finished speaking, she turned around and left, for fear of being affected by Lin Yiqiu.

"Well……"

This palace maid is too unkind.

He hasn't expressed his intention yet.

Because the situation was urgent, Lin Yiqiu came directly. He was not wearing the official uniform of the governor, and looked like an ordinary little eunuch.

Even though he was rejected, he was not discouraged and shouted loudly inside.

"Here comes someone! Let me in! I can match that old monk's match!"

No one came, but the guard in charge was annoyed.

"Little eunuch, you are shouting outside the palace, you don't want your head!"

Two Jinyi guards stepped forward and held Lin Yiqiu down.

At this time, a eunuch wearing a python robe heard the shouting and came over, shook his fly whisk, and asked sharply: "Do you think you can tell the old monk a couplet?"

"yes!"

Lin Yiqiu nodded.

The python-robed eunuch felt happy and asked hurriedly.

"What is the second line? If you can really tell it right, I can absolve you of the crime of making noise in the palace, and I will also reward you with a hundred taels of silver."

Then, his face turned gloomy again and he continued.

"But if you are talking nonsense, we will take your head!"

Eunuch in python robe.

At least it's a general managerial position.

He also mistook Lin Yiqiu for a young eunuch, and not only bossed him around, but also threatened him.

How could Lin Yiqiu not know what this eunuch was thinking?

The python-robed eunuch wanted to find out the answer and take credit for himself.

Lin Yiqiu shook his head and looked at the bustling crowd.

temple.

"Take me in and I will tell His Majesty face to face."

When the eunuch in python robe heard this, he snorted disdainfully.

"You are a dog slave, your Majesty, you can see me too. Just say whatever you want, don't you take our family seriously, I think you are tired of living!"

The Jin Yiwei next to him was kind-hearted and reminded Lin Yiqiu.

"Did you just come here? Eunuch Jiang is the manager of Zhaode Palace!"

Zhaode Palace, the people of De Concubine?

Lin Yiqiu has never met De Concubine because Xiao Meiniang and De Concubine don't get along.

Think about it, His Majesty is at the banquet now.

It would not be good to go directly to His Majesty yourself.

Lin Yiqiu changed the subject.

"Take me to Concubine De. If you can't forgive me, let me do whatever you want."

Jiang Rui took a closer look and realized that if the credit goes to his empress, Long Yan would be happy and she would also benefit from following her.

"Okay, if you can't stand up to me, our family will definitely kill you!"

Will I lose my head?

What a joke!

Even Concubine De cannot say this now.

Lin Yiqiu didn't bother to reveal his identity. If he delayed for a while, the Daqian Dynasty would lose even more face.

Zhaodeokgung Palace.

"Your Majesty, this little eunuch said he could meet the old monk in the couplet. However, he refused to tell the slave that he wanted to see you, Your Majesty."

Jiang Rui looked flattering and said to Concubine Fang De flatteringly.

Concubine De's eyes flashed past Lin Yiqiu and she spoke condescendingly.

"You are serious about what you said. Now that you have seen me, just say it."

A young eunuch actually said he could compete with an old monk.

Everyone in the hall cast curious glances.

Lin Yiqiu stood there and said calmly.

"Please also tell me about the first couplet."

Jiang Rui's heart skipped a beat and he wanted to strangle Lin Yiqiu to death immediately.

He promised that he could confront him, but he didn't even know the first couplet.

The expression of Concubine De above also changed instantly.

Is this little eunuch kidding everyone?

"Your Majesty, please forgive me. I was deceived and believed his lies."

Jiang Rui knelt down and kowtowed in apology.

Concubine De frowned, but still winked at the maid next to her, as if she felt that saying a word to the little eunuch was a great gift.

There is a kind of cold arrogance on her beautiful face, just like a goshawk not looking at the ants on the ground.

The palace maid said knowingly.

"The old monk's first couplet is, Nantongzhou, Beitongzhou, North and South Tongzhou lead to north and south."

The first two Tongzhous are place names.

Beitongzhou is located in Gandu, north of the canal.

Nantong Prefecture is in Sujiang County, which happens to be the southern terminus of the canal.

The entire first couplet is organized into a couplet with only four characters: North and South Tongzhou, which is quite difficult.

Seeing that Lin Yiqiu didn't speak, Jiang Rui couldn't wait to ask.

"Have you figured it out yet? Try playing tricks on our family and my wife!"

Jiang Rui stared at Lin Yiqiu fiercely. As long as he dared to shake his head, he would immediately have the little eunuch detained so that he could not see the sun tomorrow.

He wanted to use the little eunuch's life to tell other palace maids and eunuchs that those who tried to trick Jiang Rui would only die!

Lin Yiqiu smiled slightly.

It's hard on others.

For him, it couldn't be simpler.

"I've thought of it."

Um?

I got it?

Jiang Rui had a look of surprise on his face.

It has only been a few breaths, but this kid has already thought of it?

The ministers of the Manchu Dynasty have not come to terms with each other for so long. Did you just hear that there is a second line?

Jiang Rui shouted sadly.

"Liar, you dare to lie in front of your Majesty! Do you think we are easy to fool? My Majesty, I beg you to drag this little eunuch out and behead him."

Lin Yiqiu glanced at Jiang Rui, this guy was so cruel, he wanted to kill him.
