What Lin Xi thinks of this holy decree, everyone doesn't know, but the Lin Mansion has already arranged it according to the rules of filial piety.

But Mr. Bai was really dissatisfied, he personally went to the Lin Mansion, and after reading this holy decree, he couldn't help but feel resentful of Emperor Xia Jing.

Regardless of whether there is a relationship between Lin Xi and Zhao Jingyi, at least in the eyes of outsiders, Zhao Jingyi is stalking Lin Xi by virtue of his identity, messing around, this kind of ridiculous thing, Emperor Xia Jing does not blame it, and also contributes to Zhao Jingyi, how can it be done by a fair and wise man?

The Empress Dowager doesn't say anything, but what is the emperor's will to give Lin Xi to Zhao Jingyi almost directly?

Mr. Bai was quite disappointed, and it was not difficult for him to guess that Zhao Jingyi and Emperor Xia Jing had reached an agreement between the monarch and the ministers that could not be declared.

If Lin Xi was unwilling, wouldn't he really become a victim?

After years of hard study, and many visits to verify, the thick books and papers stacked in the warehouse have all come to naught?

"You should give it?" Mr. Bai asked Lin Xi with a sinking face, and pointed to the holy decree, "So is it in line with the times?

The bright holy decree was on the table, Lin Xi looked over and stayed for a moment, and then looked at his teacher, "Xi'er doesn't want to lie, the moment the holy decree is issued, she is indeed relieved, but ...... Now I feel at a loss and have no way to follow. ”

The old gentleman took a deep breath, wanted to scold, but was reluctant, and walked around the room with his hands behind his back and said, "Do you know that Zhongshu Province has drafted the appointment of these Jinshi, but there is no name for you." ”

Lin Xi's eyebrows moved, and he raised his head, "Because of filial piety?"

"Hehe, you are neither a relative of the emperor nor a relative of the state, what kind of filial piety do you keep? The officials of the Ministry of Rites are even more ridiculous, they really gave you a set of rules, Yushitai, this time they are all dumb? Do you know that this is a year, I am afraid that even the future will be gone, relieved?"

Mr. Bai tried his best for this little apprentice, but in exchange for such an ending, he really couldn't balance it, and he couldn't help but feel thorny in his words.

However, seeing Lin Xi's eyes showing guilt and gloom, he couldn't help but feel distressed, and then thought about it, who hasn't been young and confused?

He sighed heavily, and said earnestly: "Xi'er, for the teacher to know, love and sweetness make people sink and can't extricate themselves, and Xingtou is especially reckless in doing things, but even women have to plan three points for themselves, how can you let yourself lose this bright future, and instead mark the Rui Wangfu? You think about it, even if you are three yuan and the first, you will always be inseparable from the three words Zhao Jingyi in the future! For officials, cherish feathers, and easily do not touch the corners of other people's clothes, even if you do well in the future, your achievements with the prefix will be greatly discounted! What's more, in this capital, there are as many talented people as a carp crossing the river, and there are always wonderful people who stand out in the past spring festivals, and you are just one of them. ”

Lin Xi lowered his head, "The student is ashamed of the teacher's teachings. ”

Knowing what is wrong is great, at least you can understand that Mr. Bai is somewhat comforted in his heart, he raised his hand and patted the top of Lin Xi's head gently, "This matter is extremely absurd, no matter how much the emperor appreciates you, he can't compare to Zhao Jingyi's weight, what he does is nothing more than let you contain him, and in the future, the Rui Wangfu will really have nothing to do but leave the son alone, which will not be a problem for the new emperor." ”

Zhao Jingyi had explained this matter to Lin Xi, and he nodded.

"It's just that the emperor is unkind to do this, how much it chills Shilin's heart, although the courtiers share their worries and responsibilities for the monarch, they don't want to share their worries on the emperor's bed like a woman, and this kind of loyalty is not required by the emperor. ”

Mr. Bai has always been extremely respectful to Emperor Xia Jing, but as soon as this incident came out, he didn't think so, which made him sad, and there was not so much respect in his words.

"Teacher, it's the students who think too simply, Zhao Jingyi and I love each other only for each other, not for anything else, I never thought of relying on him to rise step by step, and then I don't want to hide in his shadow to do things. It's just that now that I've reached this point, I don't know how to get out of this situation. ”

Lin Xi smiled bitterly after speaking, fearless for his ignorance.

"Outside. Mr. Bai suddenly spit out these two words.

Lin Xi was stunned.

Mr. Bai said again: "Release." Now that the situation in Beijing has become an established fact, it is better to take a step back, give up Hanlin, and leave Beijing to seek a way out. ”

Lin Xi hesitated, "But ......"

The old gentleman sneered, "What, reluctantly?"

Lin Xi shook his head, "No, it's just that Hanlin has a rare opportunity, and the teacher once said that if you want to be a supreme minister, how can you lose the cornerstone of this promotion, or wait two or three more years......"

"The sooner you leave Beijing, the more beneficial it will be for you, you don't need to go anywhere else, just go south and enter the sea. ”

Lin Xi's eyes suddenly lit up, "Sea ban?"

Mr. Bai glanced at him with a teachable face, "Yes, this year's view of the imperial court, the minister has no objection, the trend of the border trade will be further expanded, if the benefits are appropriate, the sea ban will be moved next year." It just so happens that as soon as your filial piety period has passed, you will take office directly. Since you are an advocate of maritime trade, if you personally preside over the petition, the emperor will definitely agree, and the year's filial piety can be regarded as a preparation in advance, and no one will say anything. ”

Old Mr. Bai was obviously thoughtful, Lin Xi's eyes became brighter and brighter when he heard this, he lowered his head and thought for a moment, and found that this was really an excellent road, and couldn't help but smile.

"If this errand is done well, it will be a great achievement, and it will be easy to rise to a higher level after returning to Beijing, and no one will involve your merits in the Rui Wangfu anymore. ”

At that time, Lin Xi was still willing to break the connection with Zhao Jingyi, and it would be better for the two of them to leave it at that, Mr. Bai had a good calculation.

Lin Xi nodded again and again, but since ancient times, the sea ban has not been an easy task, there are many forces involved, and it is impossible to say that the slightest wisp can entangle himself to death, which requires more detailed preparations, but thinking of his identity, Lin Xi can't help but feel a little annoyed.

"Teacher, I only hate the low status of the students, I am afraid that it will be difficult to shake the local forces, and the release of the sea ban requires a strong sailor, as far as I know, the sailor of Great Xia is not as brave and good at fighting as the Northwest Army. ”

Mr. Bai said disapprerovitically: "This is natural, the teacher has handed over the sign, and will enter the palace tomorrow to talk to the emperor, how can you, a hairy boy who has just entered the officialdom, be able to pick up this big beam, I am afraid that he will be driven back to the capital before he stretches out his hands and feet." This is different from the Northwest Border Trade, if there is no perfect strategy, whether it can succeed or not is still two words, even if it goes well, it will take three to five years to achieve results. ”

"Three or five years!"

The old gentleman glanced at him, "What, it's too long?" ”

Lin Xi twitched the corners of his mouth and muttered, "Isn't it that I haven't seen him for many years, I don't know if he can wait?"

Old Mr. Bai jumped on his forehead, and poked Lin Xi's head with hatred of iron and steel: "That's not just a test of his character, you can wait for him to come back from five years of fighting, can't he wait for you for a few years? ”

Lin Xi smiled, but felt that it made sense.

After all, he is not a woman who is attached to others, it is better if career and love can be reaped together, if he can't naturally focus on his career.

"It's up to the teacher. ”

Mr. Bai was satisfied, and entered the palace on the second day.

The departure of the Queen Mother will inevitably be a blow to the emperor, and Mr. Bai thought that Emperor Xia Jing would be so sad that he would languish for a while, but when His Majesty really saw it, he was still shocked.

The old gentleman's heart was sour, and he couldn't help but persuade: "Your Majesty, you have to take care of the dragon body!"

I saw that Emperor Xia Jingdi's eyes were sunken, his eye sockets were full of bloodshots, his face was pale and full of wrinkles, coupled with the sudden frost white of his temples, which made him age by more than twenty years at once, as if he had reached the same age as Mr. Bai.

There was the Nine Emperor Princes standing next to him, frowning and holding the empty medicine bowl and handing it to the palace maid, and then the father-in-law and the people retreated.

"Jing Yu stay. ”

The Nine Emperors walked halfway, turned back again, and sat down on the pier.

Old Mr. Bai watched quietly, and then heard Emperor Xia Jing sigh deeply, "Master Bai must be annoyed." ”

"The old minister didn't dare. ”

"Well, I know. Emperor Xia Jing changed his posture and leaned on the warm couch, looked at Mr. Bai and said, "As soon as the Queen Mother leaves, my heart is empty, and every time I think of it, I can't cry, and now I am really alone." ”

The height is unbearable, even if there are palace concubines in the harem, all gentle and petty, and sons, all of them are cautious, but there is no one who is wholeheartedly for himself, this is the sorrow of the emperor.

Mr. Bai said: "Everyone has such a thing, Your Majesty will look at it, if the old minister leaves, he will definitely walk in front of the emperor." ”

Emperor Xia Jing laughed twice, dryly, "Master Bai's meaning, I understand, I was also embarrassed by Lin Xi before, but I can't bear to disobey the Queen Mother's will." In that case, let's play according to Master Bai. Next year will be the evaluation of 100 officials, and when the governor of Haiguang is selected, how about Lin Xi go south together?"

Mr. Bai stood up and bowed, "Thank you for the emperor's grace." ”

Emperor Xia Jing raised his hand, saw the Nine Emperor Princes sitting on the side, and said: "Jingyu has always wanted Lin Xi to be his teacher, and he has begged me many times, and I was going to give it, but now it seems that I have to wait a little longer, and when he comes back, he should be worthy of his identity at that time." ”

The Nine Emperor Princes had been listening quietly and attentively, and suddenly heard Emperor Xia Jing say this, and suddenly a smile bloomed on his face.

Mr. Bai was also happy in his heart, although the emperor said that he was not clear, he also heard a thing or two of the meaning.

"The emperor can rest assured, the apprentices will do their best to share the emperor's worries. ”

Emperor Xia Jing nodded, "As for the candidate for the commander of this water division...... Someone, Prince Xuanrui. 166 Reading Network
