Great Blue Night Watchman

The princess frowned: "My lord, are you sure these are the exact words he said? Didn't you add any words or reduce any conditions?"

The prince touched his head: "Well, it seems that there are two more words. He said he came to settle the matter, but did not say to propose marriage. How about I go find him? Let him add these two words?"

The joy on Qi Yao's face froze, and she had the urge to punch her father on the forehead. You added such an important word randomly? Are you really not afraid that your daughter will have a heart attack?

"No matter what, we still have to go back to the south. Let's leave tomorrow. It's not good for you to stay in the capital for too long. If some ignorant prince comes to visit, it doesn't matter if you see him or not. …”

During the month when King Nan came to Beijing, the princess was most worried about the prince's visit. She was from the palace. She knew that the competition between the princes and the crown prince was already very fierce. The battle between the third prince and the prince had extended to the military. King Nan Although there is no strategy, he has a super powerful army after all. If a prince deliberately befriends him, it will touch His Majesty's reverse scale.

King Enan's temperament is absolutely incapable of controlling any conspiracy. It is best to keep the conspiracy away from him.

…

The next day, Lin Su went to the Supervision Department and met his immediate boss, Zhu Shiyun. Zhu Shiyun was a little old man who was very kind and smiled at everyone he met. Lin Su always felt that people like him should stay in the Ministry of Rites. Well, it’s really the wrong place to put it in the Supervision Department.

When he saw Lin Su, Zhu Shiyun's face was full of smiles. The number one scholar was actually assigned to the Supervision Department. This really makes the Supervision Department shine. I will take you to walk around the department?

Lin Su also laughed, "The official is here today just to report in and receive the official seal and official clothes. Your Majesty is gracious and allows me to wait for two months' leave. The official plans to leave Beijing today and stop by the states in the south of the Yangtze River along the way." On the first day of August, I will go to Beijing on time to take office.

Zhu Shiyun praised him, "The Number One Scholar is really diligent and a role model for officials. It's still a holiday, so he wants to tour the south of the Yangtze River?" Good, but if you get anything, you have to report it back to me.

That's natural.

As a result, Lin Su received his fifth-grade official seal and official uniform, and his name was officially left in the personnel directory of the Supervision Department. He also met several colleagues from the Supervision Department, most of whom were several years below him. Ranks are just some service personnel. After all, he is the number one scholar. He is ranked fifth as soon as he takes office, so he should naturally be the leader.

When those officers saw him, they all bowed their heads. Everything was harmonious. The only thing that was not harmonious was that he did not see the inspectors of the same rank as him, nor the Shaoqings other than Zhu Shiyun. When he arrived at Zhengqing Lei Zheng, he unexpectedly walked outside the high gate of Duan Shangao, the censor.

The censor Duan Shangao is a very special person. He belongs to the Supervision Department and has a second-rank official position. He is on the same level as the supervisor Lei Zheng. However, he has no administrative position and is just an independent censor. Lei Zheng can't control him, and he can't control him. He can't care about other people, he is who he is, a different kind of fireworks.

Some people say that this is because Duan Shangao is a bastard who sprays the sky and the earth and sprays the air. No one likes him and no one can stand him, including the emperor. Therefore, they give him a noble title and refuse to give it to him. Real power, lest he mess up the imperial court.

But after Lin Su came to Beijing, he observed him and discovered an interesting phenomenon. This man was not as aloof as the legend said, nor did he really catch anyone and spray him. There was something special about that, and Lin Su was more willing to believe that he was a knife placed in the inspection room by His Majesty. This knife was not in the sight of everyone, but it could play a role at any time that others could not.

Zhu Shiyun pointed to the half-open door in front and said that Mr. Duan is in the office today. Do you want to pay a visit?

Lin Su smiled and shook his head. He doesn't need it. One day I will give him a few jars of white clouds... At this point, the words stopped abruptly. Lin Su changed the subject: Sir, I resigned today. On the first day of August, I will definitely Arrive on time.

Left in a hurry.

As soon as he left, the smile on Zhu Shiyun's face immediately disappeared and he entered a small room next to him. There was a person in the small room, it was Zhengqing Lei Zheng.

"How's it going?" Lei Zheng held up the tea cup.

"It seems quite friendly, but it also conveyed something unintentionally..."

What things?

He won't stay in the capital too long and will leave today.

He came here today to receive his official seal and official uniform, and planned to come to the capital to take up his post on the first day of August.

Lei Zheng nodded, smart man! If he stays in the capital for one more day, there will be one more day of risk, and he understands this.

"Sir, what are the risks?" Zhu Shiyun asked carefully.

"Haha, what's the risk?" Lei Zheng said with a smile: "The Zhang family and the Zhao family are all staring at him. What they really hope is that this person is stupid and tries to get close to a certain prince. It's a pity that this person is really smart. , faced with such a situation, he was not close to any court official."

In Lin Su's situation, most people would try every possible means to win over some court officials or find some backers. As long as Lin Su dared to do this, it would give others a chance to act, but Lin Su did not find backers.

Zhu Shiyun said: "But he is close to Green Willow Villa."

Yes, Zhang Juzheng of Green Willow Villa was the only court official he was close to, but the problem was that Zhang Juzheng was also the only one who even the Emperor could not take down.

Strictly speaking, the Grand Bachelor of Wenyuan Pavilion is not an official under the direct control of the imperial court. Wenyuan Pavilion is an external institution of the temple and is responsible for the inheritance of literature. If he has not made any mistakes, no one can touch him.

Zhu Shiyun pondered for a long time: "How can a young man of only 20 years old have such a strict calculation? Everything is so tight... Sir, do you think there is an expert behind him to guide him?"

"Of course there are experts. Qu Wendong has been an official for sixty years and has endured hundreds of calamities without falling. How high is he? Zhang Juzheng is independent and the leader on the right side of the independent court. Is he high?"

Zhu Shiyun nodded: "There is one more person..."

"who?"

"Master Duan Shangao, I suspect that I have a personal relationship with this boy."

Lei Zheng suddenly raised his eyes and stared at Zhu Shiyun...

"I'm just suspicious. He said something casually just now and left quickly before he finished speaking..."

After he finished speaking, Lei Zheng stood up and walked slowly: "The world says that Duan Shangao is just a rough man, but we know that Duan Shangao is definitely not a rough man. No matter what, from now on, we need to be more cautious. , we must be vigilant enough about Duan Shangao..."

Zhu Shiyun nodded repeatedly. As he was going out, he suddenly came back: "Sir, this guy wants to patrol Jiangnan before he takes office. Do you think he will cause trouble for Qin Fangweng?"

Qin Fangweng happened to be in the Thirteen Prefectures of Jiangnan, and the conflict between Qin Fangweng and him had long been resolved. How could he let Qin Fangweng go when he was touring Jiangnan?

Lei Zheng laughed. Did he really think that the supervisory envoy could control hundreds of officials? Is it too tender? Let him cause trouble for Qin Fangweng and let him know what frustration is.

Lin Su left the Supervision Department with a smile on his lips.

He suddenly came up with Duan Shangao's matter, and he just wanted to disgust Duan Shangao.

When the second brother was getting married, he came to the capital with a mountain in his arms. At that time, the old boy came up with a bad idea and took out Lin Su to marry him to a court official. Lin Su also knew about it afterwards. Although he wished he could stop drinking, he I also understand that this is the old boy’s hard work.

Baoshan married into two families, one was Prime Minister Lu Tiancong and the other was Duan Shangao.

What did the two adults do? Rejected!

I C! Handsome guy Lin can be killed but not humiliated!

If you dare to refuse me, I will find trouble for you.

Lu Tian, ​​from over there, I will operate on your son and make you beg me!

Duan Shangao's son didn't hit you, so I will let you bear the suspicion, let the officials take every possible precaution against you, and let you taste the feeling of being targeted...

He never expected that the secret chess he had planted would tear apart the Supervision Department on the first day, causing Lei Zheng and Zhu Shiyun to become suspicious of Duan Shangao and suspect that Duan Shangao had some connection with Lin Su.

Lin Jialiang came out of the official department with a very ugly expression.

Lin Su came over and found out the whole story. He got his official seal and official uniform. Everything was going well, but when he met a person, he was chilled.

who? Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, Song Dynasty.

Song Du's first wife was Lin's mother's sister. Judging from the relationship, Lin Su and Lin Jialang called Song Du "uncle" as a proper title. When Lin Jialiang saw his close relatives in the capital, he wanted to go up and say hello, but Song Du directly said He dismissed him with a wave of his sleeves, not even bothering to look at him.

Lin Jialiang didn't care whether his uncle could take care of his future official career. He just saw his mother's loneliness and hoped that his mother could reconnect with his sister. But now it seems that the road between relatives is longer than imagined.

Lin Su smiled: "Song Du is just a villain. He doesn't dare to be friends with us at the moment, but when we can dominate something, he will run over like a dog on his own."

Lin Jialiang shook his head gently, "Third brother, you are now a fifth-rank official. You can't speak so casually anymore. Then you are still an uncle after all..."

"Okay, okay, I still have a lot of time to learn the officials' ways of being obedient and secretive, and using their words to hide their secrets... Second brother, sister-in-law, they are ready, let's go home."

go home? What to do? Take a boat? Or should we carry a few women in one hand and cross the sky to go home? It's been raining all day, and it's already afternoon...

Lin Su smiled slightly: "Let's take a boat. Night sailing is quite childish. We can arrive in Huichang early the day after tomorrow and meet Qin Fangweng."

Qin Fangweng?

Lin Jialiang's eyes widened. Do you want to cause trouble for him now?

Was it too much haste?

With our energy, we can't defeat him.

"With our energy, we can't get rid of any small official, let alone him. However, what I want to get is not him, but Yao Shen Gu!"

Lin Jialiang's head jumped in Medicine God Valley. Since the young master of Medicine God Valley died at the hands of Lin Su, people from Medicine God Valley have entered Haining. Fortunately, the Lin family is guarded by Qiushui Painting Screen, and Haining is guarded by Magistrate Yang. The people from Medicine God Valley have no chance. I started, but I heard that there are people from the Medicine God Valley on the Haining River Beach. The last time the flood peak passed, there were people from the Medicine God Valley who wanted to secretly destroy the embankment. How sinister do you think this is? Magistrate Yang was such a benevolent person that he wanted to behead the two people from Yaoshen Valley when he caught them. Later, he gave the information to Qin Zhizhou and asked Zhizhou to arrest the person in charge of Yaoshen Valley. In the end, the matter was settled. .

Everyone knew that Qin Zhizhou and Yaoshengu were wearing crotchless pants and the matter would be settled. However, Yang Zhifu was furious in his heart. One day before the Jinshi Banquet, he spoke to Lin Jialiang and told him about this matter. , but he also asked Lin Jialiang not to act rashly, and only asked them to pay attention to the containment of Yaoshen Valley when they returned.

The Lin brothers were about to return. Before the people of Yaoshen Valley could take measures against them, Lin Su first pointed the finger at Yaoshen Valley.

…

In the afternoon at Yixianyuan, it was drizzling and misty.

Sister Chen and Lu Yi have packed all their things. Lu Yi thought for a while and took out the two booklets that had been put in the bag. The first booklet had a line written on it: Chapter 41 of "Dream of Red Mansions" Back to Chapter 80. The second booklet covers chapters 81 to 120.

She copied this and prepared it for Lu Youwei.

The first forty chapters were sent to the Lu Mansion, but the last eighty chapters were not given to her in time.

Now they are leaving. Should I give them this book or not?

She was hesitant and asked Lin Su, who was also hesitant...

He knows how damaging this book is to Lu Youwei. Dream of Red Mansions, some people in modern society will go crazy for this book, let alone this era where entertainment life is basically zero and the power of culture is unprecedented?

A complete "Red Mansions" will be the most terrifying nuclear weapon of this era. Why? Because this book is too extraordinary, too extraordinary to be imagined.

Think about it, a single poem in A Dream of Red Mansions can make people crazy, but in this book, there is a whole basket of poems with a series like "Yan for Burying Flowers"!

With its entangled story, moist and poetic language, and profound thoughts, it is far from being comparable to "The Legend of White Snake". It is even the absolute first among the four ancient masterpieces!

Lu Yi, Sister Chen, and Qu Xiuke were all deeply affected by it. After watching it thousands of times, they were still fascinated by it.

Lu Youwei is different from them. Lu Youwei is a person born for literature, and her feelings are much deeper...

Lin Su once promised to let Lu Youwei watch Dream of Red Mansions, but now, he is a little afraid. He is afraid that Lu Youwei will not be able to bear it. No matter how much entanglement he has with Lu Tiancong, he does not want anything to happen to her.

"Forget it, I'd better not give it to you today. If you have to give it, you can only give it to one volume at most."

Luyi nodded lightly: "The young master is leaving Beijing today, and the Lu family probably knows about it. If she comes to see her off, I will give her a copy. If she doesn't come, then... forget it."

"If she knew, she would definitely come. But... Lu Tian would not necessarily allow her to come." Sister Chen said, "This Miss Lu, I feel very sad just thinking about it..."

"Don't feel bad. If you feel bad for our husband-in-law, we will feel even more bad for you!" Lu Yi smiled softly: "Mr., you are leaving Beijing today. Do you think there will be a large group of brothel girls coming to see you off? You have to prepare a party. A good song suitable for them to sing..."

Lin Su tugged at her face: "You still made fun of Haining's farewell that day. It was really the work of these two old bastards Baoshan and Ding Hai. Their original intention was to make Haining famous in the world, so they invited her like that. A bunch of brothel girls...there are no Baoshan and Ding Hai today."

He turned around and picked up the pot of flowers placed on the roof of the building, plucked the flower, and sighed: "The other peach blossoms have withered, why don't you?"

This is the peach blossom he brought from Xishan. It is really strange that this peach blossom has bloomed for a month and it has not declined yet.

Green clothes snatched his peach flower pot and hugged it: "We water this flower every day. When it's windy or rainy, we go to the room. We're afraid that the flowers will wither and you still pluck them with rough hands and feet." …”
