The Ming Dynasty's Spokesperson

The main reason is that Lin Tailai felt that Zhou Yingqiu's performance style was too flamboyant and unsuitable for the occasion.

Now we need a more restrained performance, so that it will not appear too abrupt and avoid alarming those targets.

So Lin Tailai decided to set a tone first.

He sat in the prison car, sighed, and said to his friends who were surrounding the prison car with melancholy:

"Seeing that most of you are from the south of the Yangtze River, it is late spring now, and I guess the red beans in my hometown have begun to bear fruit, right?"

Everyone looked at each other. They thought Lin Tailai would indulge in wild chanting, but in the end he was just homesick?

Red beans are also called acacia seeds, which are produced in the south. They are a common image of homesickness in poetry.

"So I occasionally got something on the road and wrote some "Red Bean Songs"."

Lin Tailai said, and took out a few manuscripts from under the mat of the prison car and distributed them to his friends.

Everyone passed it around and saw that it said: "Red bean trees in the south of the Yangtze River, one leaf for lovesickness. Red beans can be eaten, but lovesickness never ends."

To be honest, this poem is fresh and simple, with few words but intriguing, as if thousands of words are contained in these twenty words, it is a masterpiece.

But this subtle and fresh style of painting doesn't match your image, Lin Tailai?

Just after I finished reading it, another poem was passed out from the prison car, with another twenty-word poem on it:

"Red beans record lovesickness, winding for twelve hours. The moss is green where it is round, and few people know my heart."

All friends know that most people write poems one by one, but Lin Tailai often writes poems in groups.

There are already two poems, how far are the third and fourth poems?

Sure enough, Lin Tailai took out a few more poems from under the mat in the prison car, still twenty-word poems of the same style.

"Lovesickness throws red beans, spring flowers fill the painting building. After the storm at dusk, new sorrows and old sorrows."

Friends feel strange, the poems are all excellent works, but such graceful works, created by you, Lin Tailai, a strong and powerful man with a height of eight or nine feet, seem very strange.

Thinking of this, everyone suddenly had an idea, is Lin Tailai really in trouble this time?

The internal cause of the drastic change in poetry style is often due to the violent shock of life, which causes the poet's state of mind to change.

If Lin Tailai had not suffered a huge setback, how could he have such homesickness?

Lin Tailai in the prison car didn't care what others thought, and shouted loudly: "Hurry up! Everyone, don't be stunned, start responding to the poem, hurry up!"

Since you are here, you have to go through the formalities. Welcoming and seeing off, socializing and singing are the basic skills of Ming Dynasty literati.

If you casually flip through the collection of a Ming Dynasty literati, you will find that a large proportion of the works are such social works.

At this time, suddenly 20 or 30 riders came galloping from the direction of the capital, and the dense sound of horse hooves broke everyone's thoughts.

When they rushed to the south gate of Juyongguan, the leading knight stopped his horse and shouted:

"Lin Tailai! I am Liu Xi, a captain of the Jinyiwei, and I am ordered to take you to the Northern Pacification Office for trial!"

The friends who received the notice and came to visit Lin Tailai were shocked when they heard this. It turned out that the Jinyiwei Tiqi came to take him away!

Lin Tailai, who was sitting in the prison car, was also shocked. This was an unexpected situation that he had no plan for!

In Lin Tailai's mind, the nature of this incident was completely an "internal fight" among court officials, and it had nothing to do with the emperor directly. Why would the emperor personally get involved?

He, Lin Tailai, did intend to catch a big fish, but he never thought of catching a whale.

At this time, Wang Xiangmeng, the 9th-level Great Perfection Censor who was previously responsible for escorting Lin Tailai, stepped forward a few steps, blocked the Jinyiwei Tiqi, and shouted: "Lin Tailai's case is under the jurisdiction of the judicial department. What does it have to do with the Northern Pacification Office?" The Jinyiwei Qianhu Liu Xi, who led the group, held up a thick silk imperial edict and replied: "I am ordered to take over. Please cooperate with the handover by Wang Yushi! If you have any questions, please report it yourself!" Facing the imperial edict, even as a 9th-level Great Perfection Censor, Wang Xiangmeng had no choice. He could not openly disobey the order. Liu Qianhu turned over and dismounted. When he handed over to Wang Xiangmeng, he saw Wang Xiangmeng's worried expression and couldn't help but say proudly: "Lin Zhuangyuan has taken care of us Jinyiwei brothers in the past. Today, we brothers will also take good care of Lin Zhuangyuan!" From the 14th year of Wanli to this year, at least hundreds of Jinyiwei officers and soldiers have been beaten by Lin Tailai. Thirty years in the east, thirty years in the west, today Lin Tailai has finally fallen into the hands of Jinyiwei! Today, let Liu Qianhu represent Jinyiwei to punish the villain Lin Tailai!

Little Wang Yushi shook his head and said helplessly: "Do you think I am worried about Lin Jiuyuan? I am actually worried about you!"

Liu Xi did not understand what Wang Yushi said, nor did he want to understand. He had the imperial edict in his hand, so he was afraid of nothing!

He just didn't believe that Lin Tailai, who was locked in a cage, could still attack him?

Then Liu Qianhu walked outside the prison car, but was afraid that Lin Tailai would hit him through the cage, so he stood a few steps away.

Then Captain Liu grinned and said, "Mr. Lin, get going! It's still a hundred miles to the capital, and the road is bumpy, so it's inevitable that there will be bumps and bruises. I hope Mr. Lin will forgive me."

Lin Tailai, who was sitting in the cage, came back to his senses from his long contemplation, looked at Captain Liu with contempt, and simply responded, "You are dead."

Captain Liu had no idea of ​​the power of this sentence, and said in a bickering tone, "Mr. Lin, don't worry, you will definitely be alive and reach the Northern Pacification Division!"

Lin Tailai took out a bamboo whistle from his arms and blew it hard.

After the piercing whistle, suddenly another forty or fifty knights rushed out from the mountains and forests on both sides, shouting "Sit down".

Everyone in the streets of the capital knew that those who shouted "sit down" to Lin Tailai must be the Lin family's Bai Zhan "servants".

Liu Qianhu remained calm, clenched the edict in his hand, and shouted: "Lin Tailai! How dare you instruct your servants to rob prisoners?"

Jin Yiwei went to arrest someone. What scene had he not seen before? What's the use of having many people in front of the imperial edict?

He didn't believe it. These people dared to besiege the Jinyiwei Official School where they were doing their job!

In the blink of an eye, more than twenty Jinyiwei officers were beaten to pieces by the Lin family's servants!

The combat effectiveness of the pampered hereditary official school is far inferior to that of the other party, and the number of people is only half that of the other party. How can I have the advantage?

More than a dozen officers from the school fell to the ground on the spot, and the remaining five or six people retreated to Liu Qianhu's side.

At this time, Lin Tailai stood up in the cage, then raised the top of the cage with both hands and kicked the cage pillars with the soles of his feet.

With Lin Tailai's movements, the cage in the car seemed to be unable to accommodate Lin Tailai's body, and suddenly burst!

In an instant, the roof of the cage was lifted aside! The surrounding cage wood fell in pieces, and even one cage wood flew to Liu Qianhu's feet!

The visual effects were so overwhelming that Liu Qianhu was stunned!

What the hell is the quality of this cage? Is it just to put it up to show off?

Moreover, without the "isolation" of the cage from Lin Tailai, Liu Qianhu also lost his sense of security, and he hurriedly took several big steps back.

Standing in the prison car, Lin Tailai looked up to the sky, raised his arms and shouted: "The sky is clear! The sky is clear! There is a traitor who deceives the Holy One!"

Friends who were watching in the outer circle finally felt relieved when they saw this scene.

This kind of painting style is normal. This is the Lin Tailai they are familiar with.

Lin Tailai still called out "Tianri Zhaozhao" after all. They didn't recognize the Lin Tailai who had previously crooned "Red Bean Song"!

"Come on! Come on!" Everyone couldn't help but cheer together.

Lin Tailai pressed down his hands to signal everyone to be quiet, and then chanted affectionately:

"One step up the mountain, one step down the water, walking towards the bank of Yuguan, it's late at night and there are thousands of tent lights.

The wind is blowing, the rain is blowing, my hometown dreams are shattered, and there is no such sound in my hometown.

A song called "Song of Love", dedicated to the hometown that haunts me in my dreams! "

Everyone: ""

Understand, today’s theme is homesickness, and Lin Jiuyuan didn’t prepare anything else at all.

Could it be that Lin Jiuyuan also wanted to imitate Shen Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites and run away with a bucket? Is this forcibly paving the way?

Lin Tailai jumped down from the prison car, swinging his sleeves, revealing a corner of the leather armor inside. He also pulled out a bronze helmet from the car and put it on his head.

Liu Qianhu's eyes nearly popped out again. Which prisoner can still hide armor? What kind of crooked prisoner is this?

In front of him was Lin Tailai, who was covered in armor, surrounded by forty or fifty of the other party's servants. Liu Qianhu suddenly felt that he was completely surrounded.

Lin Tailai moved his legs and feet a few times, twisted his neck, and then walked towards Liu Qianhu in an aggressive manner.

"You can't do it! Brother Lin can't do it!" Zhou Yingqiu, who was sober in the world, shouted.

This is different from the street fights of the past, this is not a private fight scene!

The other party is a royal guard holding an imperial edict! Attacking the royal guards who are doing their job is almost equivalent to openly resisting the order!

"Lin Tailai! Don't make mistakes!" Liu Qianhu held the edict high and shouted to Lin Tailai righteously.

He didn't believe it. Lin Tailai dared to beat the person holding the edict in public!

But Lin Tailai turned a deaf ear, as if he didn't hear what others said at all, and walked up to Liu Qianhu.

The powerful momentum was like a mountain, so heavy that Liu Qianhu could hardly stand!

Lin Tailai slapped him in the face, but Liu Qianhu didn't dare not fight back, so he just dodged away.

However, he was kicked by Lin Tailai again, and Liu Qianhu flew out and fell to the ground.

Even if he fell to the ground, even if his face was stepped into the soil, Liu Qianhu still held the edict tightly and dutifully!

Under Lin Tailai's feet, Liu Qianhu yelled with all his strength: "The Factory Guard Officer School is ordered to arrest people, and they can't just arrest them without restraint!"

He didn't believe it. Lin Tailai really dared to deal with the imperial guard holding the imperial edict!

After Lin Tailai gave a few instructions, several servants came over and tied Liu Qianhu tightly with cowhide ropes.

The edict was also fixed in Liu Qianhu's hand with a cowhide rope to ensure that it would not be lost.

Liu Qianhu could only move his mouth, and he was still screaming at the top of his lungs.

He didn't believe it, how dare you, Lin Tailai, to resist the decree!

Lin Tailai asked very strangely: "Isn't the decree to escort me to Beizhen Fusi for trial? It's not like I won't follow you, so how can I resist the decree?"

Then he said to others: "Now Liu Qianhu is escorting me to Fusi, North Town of the capital. Get on the road! Don't delay the order!"

Liu Qianhu, who was tightly tied up: ""

A servant came and asked, "What should we do with other official schools?"

Lin Tailai said with disgust: "They don't have an edict, so don't worry about their life or death!

Just leave him here and leave someone to report to the defenders at Juyongguan, so that the defenders at Juyongguan can come over and treat him casually.

No, I'd better go back to Juyongguan in person and tell them! "

Everyone on the left and right advised together: "Why do you need to work and sit in the office for such a trivial matter? Just send whoever you want."

Lin Tailai answered honestly: "I was in a hurry just now and forgot to write a poem at Juyongguan. I just went back to make up for it."

After finishing the matter, Lin Tailai grabbed Liu Qianhu, threw him on the bed of the prison car, then got on his horse and headed towards the capital.

All the friends followed behind and talked a lot.

After struggling for a long time, I will definitely not be able to reach the capital before dark, and I need to rest for a night at the inn along the way.

Setting off early the next morning, the team arrived at Desheng Gate in the capital in the morning, but was stopped by the officers and soldiers guarding the city gate because the team looked so strange.

Lin Tailai pointed to Liu Qianhu who was tied to the carriage board and explained to the gatekeeper:

"This is Liu Xi, a member of Qianhu, a member of the Jinyi Guards, who has been ordered to escort me, Lin Tailai, to Fusi, Beizhen for hearing. What is tied to his hand is the edict."

The gatekeeper looked at Liu Qianhu, who was tied to the carriage, and said in confusion: "Are you sure he is escorting you?"

Lin Tailai nodded and said seriously: "Yes, under his escort, I will go to Beizhen Fusi after entering the city."

The city gatekeeper always felt that the water was very deep here, so he pretended not to notice anything and let Lin Tailai, Liu Qianhu and his party into the city.

Deshengmen is the north gate, and most government offices are in the south. Lin Tailai and forty servants were escorted by Liu Qianhu alone, and they marched through the streets and alleys of the capital.

When they reached the southeast corner of the imperial city, Liu Qianhu, who could only move his mouth, could no longer close his eyes and pretend to be dead.

He shouted: "This is not the way to Fusi, Jinyiwei North Town, not in this direction!"

Lin Tailai sneered: "When I return to the capital, shouldn't I go to the Hanlin Academy to report first?"

Dozens of big men stood outside the Dengying Gate on Royal Street, but the long-tested Hanlin Academy gatekeeper was calm and did not panic at all.

Lin Tailai said to the gate officer: "I was escorted back to Beijing by Jin Yiwei Liu Qianhu, and now I am going to Beizhen Fusi to hear the trial. Please inform the bachelors!"

Only then did the gate officer notice that there was someone in the crowd who looked like a military attache, who was tied to the carriage board.

Could this be the Jin Yiwei Liu Qianhu who was responsible for escorting Lin Hanlin?

After leaving the Hanlin Academy gate, Lin Tailai still did not go to Jinyiwei, but turned around and came to the Ministry of Rites.

Then he directly blocked the door of the Ministry of Etiquette and shouted: "People from the Host and Guest Department, get out!"

At this time, the Minister of Rites was vacant, and no one could take charge of the matter, and of course no one was willing to take charge of it.

Lin Tailai continued to yell and curse: "Literary scum! He actually colluded with the factory guards to escort me, Lin Tai, back to Beijing! Why do you have the nerve to work in the Ministry of Etiquette!"

Yu Shenxing, the Minister of Rites, had to come out and scolded: "Stop talking nonsense!"

Lin Tailai pointed to Liu Qianhu who was tied to the carriage board, "This is Liu Qianhu who was ordered to escort me back to Beijing!

All the witnesses are there! Is there anything else that your Ministry of Rites dare not admit? "

Yu Shenxing: ""

Could it be that I still have any misunderstandings about the definition of escort over the years?

Liu Qianhu closed his eyes in shame and pain. He felt as if he was being paraded through the streets and was about to become the most prominent figure in the officialdom of the capital this year.

No wonder Yan Guan didn't dare to provoke Lin Tailai easily. It was really hurtful and heartbreaking.

Lin Tailai urged the waiter: "Stop talking nonsense! Let Chen Tailai, the host and guest, come out and let's go to the hearing together!"

There is me without him, there is him without me! There can only be one Tailai in the court! "
