Chapter 898: Reward and Punishment

Lin Zhixuan said: "I came here and said that I wanted to kowtow to the prince to celebrate his birthday, but the prince was not there, so I chatted with them casually and sent them away." ”

There is not a word about Ulan.

After all, Wulan was Wei Mingxu's former concubine, she escaped from the palace and married someone else, Wei Mingxu was a little unhappy in his heart after all, and he didn't bother to see that Lin Dan Khan at all.

Even if it was an important occasion, the two had to meet, but Wei Mingxu didn't want to meet him in private, because he didn't know what to say, especially in front of Lin Zhixuan and Wulan.

There were so many envoys in the capital, those strange-looking envoys, some with yellow hair and blue eyes, and people with black skin and brown skin, all of whom had never been seen by the Central Plains before.

It's just that they all speak the chirping bird language, and the ministers of the Central Plains don't understand it at all. Not being able to communicate is a big problem. And the only one who is proficient in this way, except for the genuine foreigner Toms, is Lin Jiangbai.

This time back, Lin Jiangbai also made a great contribution, and the Lin family raised their eyebrows even more, and held a banquet at home to catch the wind and wash the dust for Lin Jiangbai.

Finally the excitement was over, Wei Yanting, Lin Taichu, Lin Youde and Lin Jiangbai closed the door and talked in the study, and Lin Youde repeatedly praised Lin Jiangbai.

Lin Jiangbai's expression was not so happy, and after he came back, he learned that his second uncle and aunt, who had loved him the most since childhood, had died.

Lin Taichu persuaded Lin Jiangbai: "Now is not the time to be sad, your uncle's position in the right capital of the Imperial History of the Imperial Court of the Imperial Court is not yet known whether it can be saved, at this time we can only cling to the big tree of Jingwangfu, and the 20,000 elite soldiers will be lost, since he sent Li Qi to go with you, I have not had much hope, but now that all countries are coming to the court, you are also a great contribution."

And according to our previous arrangement, we rushed back before the regent's birthday, which can be regarded as currying favor with him. And now the countries and the Great Zhou Dynasty do not understand the language, and now there are only you who understand these things in the court, except for the bearded man.

The original Honglu Siqing didn't understand the languages and customs of the countries at all, this is a good opportunity for you to show your face in the court, coupled with the support of your father-in-law's family, you have gained a firm foothold in the court, and it is also a help from our Lin family. ”

Lin Youde also said: "Yes, even if you can't remove the former Honglu Temple Qing now, you will be temporarily appointed as a foreign minister to take charge of the affairs of the domain this time." At that time, our Lin family will also be a great achievement. ”

Wei Yanting even said: "Yes, only Yuanchuan can be the link between the Great Zhou Dynasty and foreign envoys, and only he can translate Wei Mingxu's words into the language of foreign vassals, and listen to the envoys." Even if it is Wei Mingxu, he must be inseparable from him wherever he goes. I'll go back and tell Zhao Ge Lao that he will mention this matter in the court tomorrow. ”

Lin Taichu nodded, and then said to Lin Jiangbai: "You have been tired for so long, go back and have a good rest." ”

This turned out to be to drive Lin Jiangbai away, Lin Jiangbai felt that he was smart enough, and he was now very high in the Lin family, Lin Taichu actually had something to do, and he couldn't let himself know.

Although Lin Jiangbai was unhappy and confused, he still obeyed the order and left.

Seeing that Lin Jiangbai was gone, Fu closed the door of the Lin Mansion's study again, and Lin Taichu said to Wei Yanting: "Meng Jianqiu, I found it!"

Early the next morning, Shuhui came to King Jing's Mansion, and had to take Lin Zhixuan to Xiyuan to play, saying: "When is this, the little aunt is still staying at home every day, don't you know, there are many Westerners in Xiyuan, and they also brought a lot of Western things, there is a tube and two mirrors, and they can see things in the distance as if they are all in front of you." There are also things like our shadow puppet play, which are also seen in a tube, someone is shaking outside, and the little aunt can see the painting moving when she looks into the tube. There are also Western muskets, which are like our cannons, but our cannons are so big that they can hide them in their sleeves. It's funny, little aunt, come with me to take a look. ”

Lin Zhixuan said helplessly: "I'm leaving, what should Brother Shu do?"

Shuhui said: "What about the three children in my family, so many slaves and nurses are watching, and I am afraid that someone will not be able to take them away for you." Let the three of Hongxiang, Lanyu, Dongmei and Mei guard at home, and you can lead Qiu Ju to play with me. ”

Shuhui winked at Qiu Ju, it was obviously a good relationship with Qiu Ju, and there was such a fun thing, so she thought about Qiu Ju.

Lin Zhixuan hesitated again and again, but she couldn't stand Shuhui's prayer there, so she finally agreed, to be honest, in her previous life, she was not fortunate enough to see any situation where all countries came to court, and she had never seen so many Westerners, let alone those rare things, which were all stained with Wei Mingxu's light in this life.

Seeing that Lin Zhixuan finally nodded, Shuhui hurriedly asked someone to change Lin Zhixuan's clothes, but Shuhui suddenly smiled and said: "I heard Huang Zhen say this morning that the envoy to the Western Regions has returned, and the court will reward meritorious deeds, and the old Zhao Ge of the Ministry of Rites intends to give the fourth master of the Lin family, the Shaoqing of Honglu Temple, and the position of foreign minister, but the prince refused." The prince has proposed another person, and the little aunt guesses who it is?"

Lin Zhixuan knew in her heart when she heard this, the little emperor had just reinstated Lin Yousheng as the imperial historian of the Imperial Prosecutor's Office, and the case of the Liao family had not yet been investigated.

Lin Zhixuan put on the necklace beads while being served by Hongxiang, and said unhurriedly: "I think it's that beard." ”

This matter is not difficult to guess, the Lin family is right, foreign envoys must have a translator when they come, since it is not Lin Jiangbai, it can only be Toms.

Shuhui was exaggeratedly surprised: "The little aunt is really clever! It's that bearded man, I heard that the Lin family is very unwilling, Zhao Yusheng even said in the court that letting a foreigner receive foreign guests seems to seem that our Great Zhou Dynasty is a barbarian, and no one understands the Fanbang language, which is to fall into the prestige of our country."

The fourteenth uncle said, our Great Zhou Dynasty is rich in land, why do we have to understand the language of those small countries of Fanbang, since it is a small country of Fanbang to come to the Great Zhou Dynasty to worship, they should be foreigners to learn the language and culture of our Great Zhou Dynasty, and translate our words to them. ”

Lin Zhixuan only smiled slightly, she understood Wei Mingxu's intentions, Thomas is a foreigner, but he is an official in the Great Zhou Dynasty, and he is also an official residence, which also shows that our Great Zhou Dynasty is tolerant of all rivers, can teach the four seas to return to the heart, and will reuse it, and can also show the intention of soliciting those small countries.

It's just that the Lin family is going to be angry this time.
