Finest Servant

"Lord Lin answered this question correctly, Lord Ashler, do you have any objections?" Ashler shook his head and conceded defeat, and the little palace maid Cuiyun said with a smile, "Master Lin answered three questions in a row, the Koryo prince and the Turkic envoys The ministers answer each question correctly, and this last question does not need to be compared, and we know who the winner is."

"Compare, compare." Lu Dong praised loudly: "Lin Lin is unparalleled in talent, we all want to see how he solves the four problems of Princess Nishang, this last one, even if I am convinced. Right. Master Lin, what do you think?"

As a Turk, this Lu Dongzan has a hearty spirit. If the two countries are not hostile, it would be good to make friends with him. Lin Wanrong smiled and said: "This, Brother Lu, you are a little brother Miaozan. I just answered these questions by mistake, so I can't take it seriously."

"Sir, please answer the last question as well." Goddess Xu Gong said sadly: "Witness the strange deeds of strange people, this is what we all look forward to."

Seeing so many people looking at him excitedly, it would be impossible not to answer, Lin Wanrong smiled helplessly, looked at Cuiyun and said, "Sister Palace Maiden, let's ask the last question."

Cuiyun smiled and said: "This time the princess is choosing her husband, the first three questions are all pre-determined questions, but the last question is the princess's own proposition. Moreover, the princess will not randomly ask questions, only if she answers the questions correctly. When Young Master Jun is satisfied, he will ask another question. At present, the princess has not yet received the decree, and the servants do not know whether there will be this fourth question, so please wait patiently for a while."

That's what happened. Lin Wanrong suddenly sweated profusely. It turns out that the proposition is not random. Even if you want to answer this bizarre question, you may not have a chance. The princess had to take a fancy to it before she could give a face to the question.

There were whispers in the crowd. If the princess answered the question, it means that the princess is satisfied with Lord Lin. This Lord Lin will definitely become the consort of Dahua, and his worth will be doubled. But will the princess have a problem? What will be the problem? Everyone is waiting for that moment to come.

The Koryo prince and the Turkic embassy had already lost their chance, and both were frustrated. Out of jealousy, they naturally didn't want Lin San to be their concubine. Seeing that the curtain hanging on the embroidered upstairs had not been lifted for a long time, the minds of both parties became active again. If the princess is not satisfied with Lin San, does that mean that we still have a chance?

Time passed minute by minute. Lin Wanrong was originally calm and confident, but as time passed, he couldn't sit still. Is there a blue spin in here? If it was her, she must have known that she had appeared, how could she still sit on the Diaoyutai like this? Oh, God. Don't play with me!

Everyone waited for a while, but when no one came out, they all thought that Princess Nishang was dissatisfied with Lord Lin. All of a sudden, the sound of sighs rang out, pity for this emerging Dahua people.

While whispering,

Suddenly seeing the hanging curtain lifted, a pretty little maid hurried out, handed Cuiyun a small note, whispered a few words in her ear, and then turned and walked away.

Cuiyun smiled slightly and said coquettishly, "I've made you wait for a long time, the princess has asked the question-"

"Okay—" The crowd suddenly became excited. Finally, Princess Nishang has a discerning eye, where can you find such an ancient wizard like Master Lin? If you don't choose him as your son-in-law, who else will come?

Lin Wanrong wiped away her cold sweat. This princess is really a tormentor. In the end, she still has such a hand. If it is really Qingxuan, I will definitely beat her little ass.

"Lord Lin, Princess Nishang's last question is specially designed for you, please listen carefully." Cuiyun's remarks made everyone's appetite again, and everyone concentrated on listening to the princess's special care for Lin. The exam questions set by adults, I don't know what kind of strange thing it will be, and Lin Wanrong is no exception.

Cuiyun slowly unfolded the note and said softly, "Lord Lin, when you were kidnapped and rescued by bandits in the lair of the White Lotus Sect in Dangtu County, who is the most unforgettable person for you? ?"

What is this subject? After listening to this mindless sentence, everyone was confused. This is completely different from the previous three questions, but it seems to be a question specially set for him knowing the past of Lord Lin. To say, answering this question is much simpler than fighting intelligence. I think that there will be no surprises for Lord Lin, and it is just around the corner to become Emperor Dahua's most beloved little princess-in-law.

Lin Wanrong was shocked and excited, jumped up and said loudly: "Qing Xuan, Qing Xuan, is that you?"

Embroidered upstairs was silent, and no one answered his question. At the beginning, they were kidnapped by the White Lotus Sect together with the eldest young lady in Jinling's Xiao family, and then they were rescued by others. Few people knew what they had passed through. If they were so familiar with themselves, and asked this kind of question, who else would come besides Qingxuan? ? Qing Xuan is really the Princess of Nishang, motherfucker, I'm developed!

"Master, have you figured it out?" Cuiyun asked with a smile when he saw Master Lin suddenly shouting.

"There were two people who saved me in times of crisis, and the most unforgettable among them was Qing Xuan—" Lin Wanrong replied confidently.

Everyone listened to the clouds and fog, and the embroidered building was silent, and suddenly there was a light humming with fire: "If you miss her so much, then you go to her, don't come to me. Cuiyun, go back to the palace—"

this sound? Lin Wanrong jumped three feet high in shock. It doesn't sound like Qingxuan. Why does it feel like Xian'er?

"Xian'er, Xian'er, is that you?" Lin Wanrong shouted loudly. The little palace maid Cuiyun who was standing on the high platform gave a wry smile. She had withdrawn from the curtain. There was a sound of footsteps on the embroidered upstairs. She seemed to be very angry. go.

"It's not me, go find your Qingxuan, hum!" A familiar slender figure came out of the building, got into the sedan chair, and hummed at the same time, full of grievances and sadness.

Master Lin's head was short-circuited. Neon princess? ? Neon princess! ! It turned out to be a baby fairy! ! How is this going? No wonder Sister An said that Xian'er was going on a secret mission, and she would definitely give me a big surprise, which was really a big surprise. I was dying, and in front of so many people, I admitted that Jing Xuan was the most unforgettable. Every word fell into the ears of the little vinegar jar, and she was now a princess of Dahua, so it would be strange if she didn't get angry.

When he was thinking about it, Princess Nishang's car had already gone a long way. The sedan chair had already stepped into the palace gate with one foot, and Lin Wanrong suddenly woke up, hurried up and shouted: "Xian'er, Xian'er, don't go!"

With a loud bang, the huge palace gate closed, but it almost hit the nose of the rushing Lord Lin.

He touched the bridge of his nose angrily, slammed the door knocker angrily, *, what's going on here. In order to find a wife, offend another wife, to say bad luck. Who in this world can compare to me? Xian'er is the same girl. It's not right to put a good princess, but she wants to be a celebrity, and she likes to be jealous, alas. Now it's difficult.

The situation on the field changed suddenly. The princess had already had a problem, and it was a very simple and completely unrelated problem. Why did Lord Lin annoy the princess and make her walk away? I'm afraid he won't be able to be the concubine. What does it mean to fall short of success, this is a typical example. Everyone in the field sighed, only Li Chengcheng and the Turkic embassy, ​​who had completely given up, were secretly happy. Since the princess was dissatisfied with Lin Wanrong, they were not completely without a chance. In the scene on the field, it can be said that the peaks are protruding, and the situation has changed drastically!

Seeing Lin Wanrong looked dejected. The emperor was not worried but happy, he laughed and said: "Today is really interesting, Gao Ping, call Lin San and the Korean and Turkic embassies to the palace."

Lin Wanrong was annoyed for a while, but when he saw Eunuch Gao hurriedly approaching, he said respectfully: "Lord Lin, the emperor has summoned you, come with me!"

Putting aside the doubts about Xian'er's identity, he followed Gao Ping to the golden hall. He saw that Li Chengcheng and Ashele had already arrived first. Xu Wei smiled and nodded slightly at him, looking very satisfied.

Lin Wanrong knew about his own family affairs. This time, when the princess invited her relatives, he made a big oolong. This old Xu didn't know the inside story at all, so he thought I was taking advantage of it.

"Princess Nishang invites relatives today, everything is over, the envoys of Goryeo and Turkic countries are respectful and humble, and they are really elegant." The emperor smiled.

Li Chengcheng hurriedly clasped his fists: "I don't dare, I dare not, the emperor has won the prize. This time I missed the princess because of my lack of preparation, and I feel very regretful about it. However, Princess Nishang has not yet chosen a consort, and he believes that there is still a chance. "

"That's right." The Turkic envoy Ashle also said: "The princess has not yet chosen a consort, and I, the Turks, have a chance."

"Hahaha-" The emperor laughed loudly: "The two special envoys are wrong. Princess Nishang personally gave the test, which can be said to be fair and just. Each of you two countries only answered one question correctly, and there is no chance to participate in the re-assessment, even if the princess She will not choose between the two before the concubine has been selected. If everyone is like you and everyone comes to ask for a second chance, isn't it because my Princess Nishang does not get married, and the wedding ceremony will be held every day?"

Li Chengcheng and Ashle were speechless, as the emperor said, opportunities are equal, but they didn't grasp it themselves and couldn't blame others.

"Where is Lin San—" the emperor suddenly shouted in a majestic voice.

"Gangmin is here." Lin Wanrong replied lazily, clasping his fists, his mood was obviously not very high.

The emperor smiled and said: "Don't be too concerned about the gains and losses at the moment, I watch your performance today, you are unexpected, courageous and resourceful, you can compete with the two envoys of Goryeo and the Turks, and you have the style of a countryman. I feel very relieved. ."

What "can compete with the two envoys of Goryeo and Turks"? The emperor said this completely to take care of Li Chengcheng and Ashleigh, and everyone above the Golden Temple understood.

"Lin San is knowledgeable and talented. He won the honor for our Dahua, and I personally saw it. Before he served Xu Wei in Shandong, he captured Bailian's anti-king Lu Kanli with his own hands, and shot the Virgin of Bailian. The capture of Jining City can be said to be a great achievement, how can such a state scholar waste talents on the people? Where is Ye Shuqing, Minister of Officials?" The emperor said loudly like a bell.

"Wei Chen is here!" An old man with a red face hurriedly stepped out.

"Ye Aiqing, you are in charge of the personnel department, then help me to see if there are any vacancies recently? Lin San. This person is my scholar of Dahua Guoxue, so make sure to use it." The emperor smiled and said.

Prince Cheng's eyes flashed, and he gave Ye Shuqing a wink, Ye Shuqing understood. He hurriedly clasped his fists and said, "Your Majesty, the number of officials currently placed in the Ministry of Personnel is almost full, but there are still idle positions in various places."

The emperor smiled and said: "He came from Jinling, and he commanded the army in Shandong. Speaking of which, he also came from the place. What are you doing when you put him back there? Oh, yes, I remember it. , Tong Yuan, the former servant of the Ministry of Personnel, has resigned and returned to his hometown, and there is still a position to fill the vacancy in the Ministry of Personnel—Lin San. I will promote you to be a Bachelor of Wenhua Pavilion and take the title of Deputy Minister of the Ministry of Personnel. Would you like to?"

"Your Majesty—" Ye Shuqing was shocked: "The responsibilities of the Ministry of Personnel are important, and the Servant directly assists the ministers. Although Master Lin is knowledgeable and talented, he is still young and has never been an official. Master Su Mubai, the champion of Jinxin Division, has not yet entered the department examination. If you push Master Lin too high, you may cause complaints! Please, the emperor Wang Si!"

This Lord Ye Shangshu did not know whether it was intentional or not, but he actually mentioned Su Zhuangyuan. Take Su Mubai as an example, preventing the emperor from promoting Lin San. Although Su Zhuangyuan is a bachelor of Wenyuan Pavilion, he is only a vacant post, and he has not yet entered the Sixth Division. Seeing that the emperor places such importance on Lin San, his face is pale, and he hastily lowered his head and did not say a word.

"There are always exceptions in everything. I just mentioned Lin Sandi's merits, and let's ask the court. Who else can deny it? With the Turks, but it is not a fake ability, the promotion to Wenhua Palace is the return of Zhongjing, not to mention that he has made great achievements in Shandong, and has made great contributions, leading a deputy minister of the Ministry of Personnel, who has any complaints? As for his young age "Aiqings, do you have forgotten that when the late emperor was alive, Brother Cheng took over the staff in his early twenties, so why not?" The emperor's eyes flickered, but his words were like a heavy hammer, remembering Remember to knock on the heart.

King Cheng is the nobleman of the sky, the son of the dragon, and the grandson of the dragon. He is in his twenties and leads the official department, and no one dares to say a word. But now that the emperor's general Lin San is compared with Prince Cheng, what does this mean? Don't forget, Lin San is still selling himself to the Xiao family to be a little servant, how can he be qualified to compare with Prince Cheng.

"Mr. Xu, what is this servant of the Ministry of Personnel doing?" Seeing Ye Shuqing's pale face and the appearance of killing him, Lin Wanrong pulled Xu Wei and asked softly.

"The Ministry of Personnel, in charge of the assessment, promotion and scheduling of hundreds of officials in the world, is the top priority of the imperial court. The minister of the Ministry of Personnel assists the Shangshu, the official is not small, and the authority is not small. The deputy servant, but took the main job, Lin Xiaoxiong, you have reached the sky in one step." Xu Wei said with a slight smile.

Understand, this is equivalent to the deputy director of the personnel department, a unit with real power. I didn't expect the emperor to seal such a big red envelope to me at once, alas, should I accept it or not?

"A small deputy servant of the local staff, why does this Lord Ye look like a dead mother, and even his complexion has changed?" Lin Wanrong replied.

This little brother Lin still lacks understanding of the officialdom, Xu Weiqiang held back his smile and said, "Little brother Lin, although there is a three-level gap between you and Lord Ye in terms of rank, it is actually only one layer apart. You are promoted by the emperor himself. Yes, the grace of the emperor is like the sky, and maybe one day, Lord Ye will be replaced directly. How can Lord Ye not consider his status? There is one more important point. Today the emperor forced you into it. Think about it, how would you feel if someone inserted a nail in the middle of your heart?"

Khan, it turns out that there are so many ways in the middle, the emperor wants me to act as his Ma Qianyi who fights with King Cheng, *, can I be so stupid?

Ye Shuqing was waiting to speak again, the emperor's expression changed, and he snorted: "I have decided, Ye Qing don't want to say any more. Come on, make a decree—"

"Wait, wait." Lin Wanrong came out with a smile and clasped his fists and said: "Your Majesty, thank you for your love. But Xiaomin also thinks what Lord Ye said makes sense. I'm just a little family member of the Xiao family. I don't know anything about state affairs and government. The emperor places so much importance on me, which really makes the common people feel ashamed. I lived very well in the Xiao family, very happy, please allow me to return to the Xiao family and be a happy little family member, I I am satisfied.”

Xu Wei rolled his eyes and rolled his eyes, this kid was foolishly fighting wits and wits, he let the deputy servant of the Ministry of Personnel not do it, but wanted to go back to the Xiao family to be a servant, and the eldest lady of the Xiao family did not know what he had given him* *soup.

"Lord Lin is high-fashioned and has the style of a general. The emperor has a good eye for gold, and his younger brother admires it." King Cheng's eyes flashed, and he suddenly walked out of the queue.

The emperor glanced at King Cheng, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "Brother Cheng is right, Lin San is really different. Since he is willing to stay in the Xiao family, then he will continue to stay. But he If you have the ability, but don't contribute to the country, then it is a big mistake. If you say it badly, it is a waste of money. Lin San, you can go back to the Xiao family, but you have to do the errands of the official department. Since you are so weak in fame and fortune, Then I don't want you to enter the Wenhua Palace. Lin San listened to the letter—"

"Your Majesty, Xiaomin is listening!" Lin Wanrong hurriedly clasped his fists.

"You have made great achievements in battle and won glory for the country, so I will make you the deputy minister of the Ministry of Personnel and give you a mansion. Considering that you still have errands to do in the Xiao family, I have granted you permission not to go to the morning court." The emperor held back a smile and said. .

The ministers were panicked when they heard it. Lin San, a small family member, can have any errands in the Xiao family, and how can it be compared with state affairs? The emperor treats him like this, it is really affectionate and righteous.

What kind of deputy servant of the Ministry of Officials, Lao Tzu is not uncommon, but it is a real benefit to give the mansion a house.

"In addition, for your convenience in the future, I will give you a few more words." The emperor smiled and glanced at him, Gao Ping had already sent the pen, ink, paper and inkstone.

Giving words, there is nothing rare in giving words, and some gold is serious. The newly promoted deputy servant of the Ministry of Personnel, Mr. Lin Sanlin, is too naive. The emperor's gift of words is a great grace, and gold can't be exchanged for ten thousand taels. . With the emperor's inscription, how much money can't be made?

Seeing that he didn't care, Xu Wei couldn't help but pulled him and said, "Little Brother Lin, the emperor really spared no effort in treating you, even Su Zhuangyuan has gone down."

Nonsense, I didn't know it before, but now I understand. Xian'er is my wife and the daughter of the old emperor. He and I have a genuine and innocent relationship between son-in-law and father-in-law. He is not good to me, so why should he be good to Su Mubai's little white face?

There was silence in the hall, Gao Gong put down the paper, the emperor's gold pen was covered with cinnabar, he pondered for a while, and the vermilion pen swiped, and the calligraphy was dropped on the paper.

"Lin San, although you are a small family member, you must not belittle yourself because of your status. It must be known that I, the emperor of Dahua, was also a cattle herder in the past, but I have become a heroic talent praised by thousands of generations." The emperor looked at Lin Three positive colors.

I heard a lot of things you said, and this sentence is the best. Lin Wanrong said sincerely: "Your Majesty, thank you."

As soon as the emperor waved his hand, Eunuch Gao gently folded the imperial gift of Zhu Zhu and sent it to Lin Wanrong. Lord Lin took it with both hands, and the emperor looked at him and smiled and said, "You put these words on your door, from now on, I can guarantee that no one will dare to bully the Xiao family, and no one will dare to bully you again. ."

Not bragging, what words are so powerful? Lin Wanrong took the jade plate with both hands, thinking about it.

"Little Brother Lin, Brother Lin." Xu Wei held him and reminded kindly, "After receiving the emperor's royal approval, we must open it on the spot and share with others to thank the emperor for his mighty grace."

There are too many rules, Lin Wanrong hurriedly took the emperor's inscription in his hand, unfolded the picture and swept it lightly, his eyes suddenly glowed with golden light, his mouth could not be closed, and he was stunned.

The emperor smiled without saying a word, which shocked the fearless guy so much, and he was very satisfied with the effect. Seeing this, Xu Wei was in a hurry, and hurriedly pulled one by one with Gao Ping, helping Lin San to start the inscription slowly.

Everyone looked up and only glanced at them, but they stayed with Lin San!

I saw the paper glittering with gold, and five big characters with flying and phoenix dancing on the paper - "Number One in the World"!
