Lin Guanhai lay on the bed, looking at the sunlight streaming in from the window, and pushed himself up with all his strength.
At this moment, his face was pale and he looked like he was recovering from a serious illness.
Hearing the movement in the room, a young man quickly entered and came to the bedside to help Lin Guanhai sit up straight.
"Father, you finally woke up!"
This is Lin Guanhai's eldest son, Lin Xiuneng, who is twenty-five years old this year. His children are already seven years old.
When he saw his son, Lin Guanhai became very angry. Not only did he not respond to his words, but he also turned his face away.
"The son knows that his father is still angry, but now that the overall situation has been decided, it is useless for his father to be angry again!"
"Even if you want to punish your son, you have to take good care of your body first!"
Seeing that the old father still didn't speak, Lin Xiuneng continued: "My son may have done something wrong for the country, but he has done nothing wrong for this family, so my son has a clear conscience!"
Hearing this, Lin Guanhai immediately turned around and cursed: "You traitor!"
Seeing his father speaking, even though he was just scolding, Lin Xiuneng felt much relieved.
"Father, you can scold me when you need to, and beat me when you need to hit me, but again, you have to take good care of your body and bones first!"
Not wanting to continue these topics, Lin Guanhai asked in a deep voice: "How is your mother?"
"fine!"
After looking around, Lin Guanhai asked: "Why don't you see her?"
Although he often falls asleep, it does not mean that Lin Guanhai is unconscious. He remembers how his old wife took care of him.
"The empress summoned me and went into the palace this morning!"
"Empress?"
Lin Xiuneng quickly explained: "My sister is back!"
"Um!"
Lin Guanhai did not ask any more questions. His feelings for his daughter were extremely complicated.
"Help me out!"
"yes!"
Lin Guanhai had been lying in this room for more than ten days. When the sun happened to be right, he wanted to go out and bask in the sun.
Being bedridden for more than ten days actually made Lin Guanhai realize that everything he had done was in vain, and no matter how hard he struggled, it would be in vain.
But as soon as he walked out of the room, he found that the servant in the yard was decorating something.
"Is this going to be a house raid?"
Seeing that his father was distracted, Lin Xiuneng explained: "Father, we are moving!"
"move place?"
"Today, your Majesty sent someone to say that His Highness has pardoned our family's crimes and allowed us to return to our hometown to live!"
Lin Guanhai from before would have retorted now that his family was innocent and did not need a pardon.
But now, saying it would be in vain and would not gain his son's approval, so he simply stopped saying it.
Looking at his son's expression, Lin Guanhai frowned and asked, "You seem to have something to hide? Are you reluctant to part with the prosperity of the capital?"
For Lin Guanhai, it was a good thing to leave the capital without seeing anything.
Originally Lin Xiuneng didn't intend to say it, but he really felt aggrieved. Now his father asked about it again, so he confessed: "His Royal Highness also said that the third generation of my Lin family cannot be an official!"
In other words, from Lin Guanhai to Lin Xiuneng, and then to Lin Xiuneng's son, none of the three generations could serve in official positions.
This has affected a family for at least fifty years, which made Lin Xiuneng feel sad.
Lin Guanhai could understand his son's mood very well, so at this moment he did not reprimand him anymore, but comforted him: "Xianyun Yehe, there is nothing wrong with him!"
At this moment, there was a bigger noise outside, and it was not an ordinary level of excitement.
As they walked forward, Lin Guanhai asked: "Is there something big going on in the capital today?"
Lin Xiuneng supported him carefully and replied at the same time: "Today the Yong army went out again to attack the rebels in the southwest!"
Continuing to walk out, Lin Guanhai said angrily: "Li Jinzhong and Wang Baozhen from Southwest China really deserve to be killed!"
In his opinion, the rebellion of the two southwest counties involved too many troops of the imperial court, otherwise the outcome of the Jingnan Campaign might be rewritten.
Of course, this is Lin Guanhai's wishful thinking, but it does not affect his hatred of these two people.
Seeing that his father was about to walk out of the door, Lin Xiuneng quickly advised: "Father, why don't you go back and rest?"
I've just been able to get out of bed, so it's really inappropriate to walk too far. A walk around the yard is enough.
Lin Guanhai did not stop, but said with dissatisfaction: "I can't die yet!"
Unable to defeat this biological father, Lin Xiuneng had no choice but to follow him out.
His family is now in Nancheng. If it weren't for his subtle relationship with Zhao Yanxun, their family would have to work like ordinary people in exchange for daily necessities.
But today, all the people were given a holiday by the government, allowing them to pay homage to the power of King Yong's Army Peak.
When Lin Guanhai walked out of his house, he saw a steady stream of people who were also walking out of their houses, rushing towards the south gate.
For the common people, today's holiday makes them as happy as the Chinese New Year, because it is a rare and relaxing day.
"I have been working for the emperor in front of me for more than a year, and he has never said that he would give us a holiday. It is better for us to serve as Prince Yong now..."
"Don't talk nonsense. The emperor in front of you is not an emperor, but... a fake emperor!"
Hearing the words of these ordinary people, Lin Guanhai felt particularly sad, and Lin Xiuneng who was watching from the side was very worried.
"father……"
His chest and abdomen were rising and falling, and Lin Guanhai said in a deep voice: "I'm fine, go check out the south gate!"
"Don't be angry!"
So the father and son continued to follow the first few people, listening to them say something "critical of current affairs".
"I heard Mr. Hu in the alley say that this time King Yong will use his troops to wipe out all the rebels in the Jin Dynasty, and then good times will come..."
"How come Prince Yong's army is so powerful? The previous army of several hundred thousand soldiers was defeated like a paper man..."
"This is not easy!" someone said proudly.
"Tell me..." Everyone glanced at that person.
"Prince Yong raised an army under the command of heaven. With God helping him, how could the imperial army defeat him?"
"Hmm... That's right!"
"The little emperor in front of me has ruined the country since he came to the throne. God can't stand it anymore!"
"That's right!"
After hearing what these people said, Lin Guanhai tried his best to calm down, but he was still furious to death.
Emperor Jingping worked hard for the country and the country, but he was slandered by these people. Lin Guanhai simply couldn't bear it.
But he had no chance to curse because he was so angry that he fainted.
"Father, father..."
Hearing Lin Xiuneng's exclamation, the people walking in front couldn't help but stop and turn around. One of them muttered: "What's wrong with this guy?"
"I must be so happy and excited to see Prince Yong's powerful soldiers!"
"It seems that this old man also loves Prince Yong very much!"
If Lin Guanhai heard these words, he would probably be so angry that he would vomit blood. Fortunately, he can't hear them now.
Commanding the two servants accompanying him, Lin Xiuneng hurriedly took his father home.
Besides, outside the south gate, four Yong soldiers were passing by, and they were about to attack the two southwest counties.
Seeing such strong soldiers below, the "surviving" officials and people on the city wall were all shocked.
Compared with these Yong troops, the so-called elite forbidden troops of the Jingping Dynasty were not even worthy of carrying shoes for others.
"The traitors from the two southwest counties will definitely die if they come!" Xue Jingyan said with a smile, stroking his beard.
After receiving the exact news that the Xue family was safe, the stone in his heart dropped to the ground, and he naturally laughed out loud at this moment.
It's not just him who has changed, but also the people close to Xue Jingyan.
A few months ago, everyone in the Xue family called for beatings in the capital, but now those people are fawning over them again.
"What Brother Xue said is absolutely true. From now on, there will be peace and prosperity!"
Hearing the compliment from the man next to him, Xue Jingyan said he did not dare and said: "I have been de-ranked, but I can't afford to be called like that by Brother Hu!"
"Brother Xue, why should you belittle yourself? With the princess here, the Xue family will make a comeback and take further steps!"
Hearing this, Xue Jingyan's smile became even bigger, and then he said very humbly: "Just be careful and beg for work, don't dare to think about it!"
While there was a lot of discussion on the city wall, the envoy with the order of King Zhao Yanxun came out of the city gate and caught up with the retreating army.
"Who are you?"
"General Chen, Yang Qingshan, the Minister of the Military Department, was ordered by the king to go to the southwest to announce the decree!"
Yang Qingshan, the new minister of the Ministry of War, was previously the chief minister of Yongwang Palace, Shisi Huzheng, and now he can be regarded as leaping over the dragon's gate.
"Declaration?"
Yang Qingshan nodded and said solemnly: "The prince wants to give them one last chance!"
