Chapter 92: Lin Ruochen, the king of the county
Although Lin Ruochen only glanced at it, he clearly saw what was written on it: "Xia Chuyan is in my hands!" ”
Lin Ruochen took a deep breath and pretended to be happy to thank the queen. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info "Xiaomin thanked the queen for her gift, but Xiaomin's family already had his father and eldest brother as officials in the court, so Xiaomin wanted to play for two more years and go to as many fun places as possible, so as not to regret it because he didn't have time to play in the future." ”
Sima Nan, who was agile, and the Ten Princes, who had been paying attention to the actions of the two, saw Lin Ruochen's sudden refusal, and began to guess what was written on the note that the prince handed to Lin Ruochen.
As a result, before they could guess, the queen had already refused.
"Don't you want to see Hongu, or do you have any opinion about Hongu?"
With such a hat buttoned down, how dare Lin Ruochen take it casually? In addition to saying that he didn't dare, he could only look at the Ten Princes secretly with his eyes, hoping that the Ten Princes could help make peace. As a result, the Ten Princes turned a blind eye to Lin Ruochen's eyes asking for help.
The tenth prince thought that being the queen's righteous son would have no harm to Lin Ruochen, so there was no need to refuse at all.
It was the crown prince who said to the queen with a smile: "The queen mother still doesn't want to be strong, maybe it is Lin Gongzi who likes to live at ease......"
Sima Nan, who had been silent just now, suddenly interrupted the prince's words: "Ruochen likes to be at ease, doesn't the prince like to be at ease?" I think you brothers are taking advantage of the beautiful wind and sunshine now, why don't you go out and play together, and increase your brotherly feelings by the way, how about it? ”
The queen nodded first, "That's a good idea, Lin Gongzi, oh no!" I should shout Ruochen, I will be your brother in the future, you can't bully him by relying on being the prince! ”
The emperor also nodded in agreement, he already had a good impression of Lin Ruochen, and now he can become the queen's righteous son. However, the emperor prefers that Lin Ruochen's loyal person is himself, not a certain prince.
Looks like we need to find a time to talk to him!
"So be it!" The emperor spoke: "I will crown Ruochen as the king of the county!" How is it? ”
The Ten Princes immediately said: "Okay! Good! Good! ”
The queen knocked on the head of the tenth prince with her hand without pain or itching: "What are you talking about?" This matter has to be nodded by Ruochen himself. ”
Lin Ruochen didn't answer immediately, and he didn't know what he was thinking. When the emperor saw that Lin Ruochen didn't speak, he felt that Lin Ruochen was a little ignorant. "Everyone else is trying their best to come to me, and only you don't know how to step back. What, ready to reject me? ”
"Xiaomin doesn't dare!" Lin Ruochen bowed his head and thanked him.
The emperor waved his hand, "Okay, you don't know the benefits of being the king of the county, and when you know it, you will naturally come over to thank me!" ”
The prince gritted his teeth with hatred, he thought that after taking out the note, Lin Ruochen would be obedient. Could it be that Lin Ruochen deliberately created a false impression of loving Xia Chuyan, just to confuse himself?
Lin Ruochen was also worried in his heart, he knew that the prince wanted to threaten him with Xia Chuyan, so before he showed up, he had already sent Hongzhi to secretly protect Xia Chuyan. I hope that Hongzhi can protect her thoughtfulness!
By the time Lin Ruochen stepped out of the palace gate, the news had spread like a tornado. So the people knew that the Lin family had a loyal and righteous county king, and they also had their own fiefdom.
Lin Ruojun was furious, angrily smashed everything that could be smashed in his house, remembering that when he first entered the court, he was only a fifth grade, and he struggled for a long time to climb to the position of the fourth grade. Moreover, his salary was only more than 100 taels of silver, and his father's income was only more than 200 taels a year. And Lin Ruochen, as the king of Yipinjun, received 5,000 taels of silver.
More than 100 taels of silver and 5,000 taels of silver, the difference is not ordinary. And such a big difference is just because Lin Ruochen went out for a walk with the Ten Princes.
Lin Ruoyi's eyes turned red with anger when he saw his eldest brother Lin Ruojun, and he could only hurry up to please him as before, "God is really blind, but those who are really capable cannot be reused, and those who have no ability can ascend to the sky in one step." ”
"One step to the sky?" Lin Ruojun glared, "Isn't it just a step to the sky?" As high as he climbs today, he will fall in the future. ”
Just when the two brothers were hiding in the room and cursing Lin Ruochen, Lin Lin sent someone over to inform the two to go to the living room.
Lin Ruoyi asked curiously: "What are you doing in the living room at this time?" ”
Lin Ruojun replied with a sneer: "What can you do?" There is a county king in our family, and my father naturally wants to make rules for us again! ”
Lin Ruojun guessed correctly, Lin Lin called all the aunts and children in the family to the living room, just to tell everyone - Lin Ruochen is coming back!
"The emperor has sent someone to inform him, saying that the mansion that was awarded to Ruochen is being sorted out, so he is still living at home during this time. It is said that now his position in the family is the highest, although he has no real power in the court, but the rules cannot be messed up. Therefore, when he returns home, everyone must be respectful to him and not do anything that violates his status. Remember? ”
"You don't want us to salute him, do you? Why? Lin Ruoshuang first protested, she looked down on Lin Ruochen since she was a child, thinking that a son from a concubine could have any advantage? Unexpectedly, he really had a day when the salted fish turned over. However, even so, Lin Ruoshuang didn't look down on Lin Ruochen, just like Lin Ruochen also looked down on Lin Ruoshuang.
Lin Lin knew that the relationship between the two was not good, so he gave a warning in advance, "Although you are a sister, he is now the king of the county, don't blame me for not speaking well, he asked you to kowtow to him, you have to kowtow to me honestly." ”
Lin Ruoshuang wanted to refute, but seeing that her father's eyes were cold, she swallowed the words that came to her mouth. It's not that Lin Ruoshuang is afraid of her father, but after she gets married, she still has to count on her father and sister Lin Guifei, so she has to temporarily tie up these two backers. If Lin Ruoshuang really had a chance to become the concubine of the second prince, she would naturally not be so polite to her father.
Lin Ruojun didn't speak, because although he didn't like this third brother in his heart, he didn't have the capital to go against Lin Ruochen now. Although Lin Ruochen easily climbed to the position of the first rank, everyone who is an official knows how difficult it is to rise to the next level after becoming the fourth rank. Not everyone has such good luck to be able to ascend to the sky in one step and become the person who speaks in front of the emperor.
A room of people discussed for a long time, and it couldn't be said to be a discussion, because Lin Lin was the only one who spoke from beginning to end, and only when he didn't want to speak did he occasionally say a few words that didn't hurt or itch, so as to prove that he was listening carefully.
At the end of the meeting, everyone went back to their courtyards. They thought that Lin Ruochen would return home with great fanfare and hugs, so they all stayed in their rooms and waited for news. But Lin Ruochen didn't play his cards according to common sense, and at this time he had already brought Hongzhi and a few entourages rewarded by the emperor to the gate of the mansion in a low-key manner.
