Wu Guifei was buried in the concubine's mausoleum after 5735 days of rest. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

The emperor ordered the house arrest of King Hui to be lifted, and at the same time demoted King Hui to the rank of King of Huiping.

Outsiders don't know why King Hui was demoted, but King Hui did not show a sad look during the concubine's funeral, and felt that King Hui was an unfilial and unrighteous person, so he demoted his title.

The king of Huiping did not react with any dissatisfaction with the decree of the lord, and received the decree very quietly. And after he was lifted from house arrest, he did not come out and walk around, but lived in a simple house and stayed in the house all day.

Because of the death of Concubine Wu Guifei, the king of Huiping County seemed to have lost all his fighting spirit all at once, and he no longer cared about the government and no longer interacted with people.

Mu Qing said to Lin Yan: "...... I heard that the king of Huiping invited two monks to live in the palace of the king of the county, and he lectured on the scriptures every day. ”

Lin Yan nodded when she listened, and then asked, "Has anyone gone to the County King's Mansion to see him?" ”

Mu Qingdao: "The two masters of the Xuanguo Mansion went to the county king's mansion to see him, but they were refused by the county king. Then there is the King of Bohai and the Five Princes, the Prince of Bohai is probably worried about him, and often goes to the county king's mansion to send this and that, and accompanies the king of Huiping to talk. And the five princes only went to see each other once, and they didn't stay for much time, and no one knew what the two said. ”

Lin Yan didn't speak, took a sip of tea, frowned and pondered.

Mu Zhi next to him frowned and listened to the silence for a long time, and after a long pause, he asked, "Niangniang, did you say that the king of Huiping County really gave up at last?" ”

Lin Yan and Mu Qing's faces showed a slight discoloration, and neither of them spoke.

King Huiping may have gradually accepted the fact that it was impossible for him to be the prince, but he was destined to be unwilling in his heart. He has been fighting with the crown prince, Zhaoyang Palace and Changkun Palace for so many years, he may think that whoever becomes the emperor in the future cannot be the prince or her child.

Although the prince of Huiping has always been at a disadvantage in the competition, he has cultivated his own power for so many years. Even now, it is impossible for all forces to collapse, and there should still be some remnants of forces. What would he do in such a situation......

Lin Yan thought of the five princes...... The fifth prince is also older, and he should marry the princess in two years.

Mu Qing smiled at this time and said to Mu Zhi: "It doesn't matter if he gives up or not, with the current strength of the King of Huiping County, what can he do even if he doesn't give up?" ”

Today's crown prince is completely stable, and no one can shake it. In the DPRK for many years, it has its own foundation. Even if the emperor says that the crown prince will be abolished, it will not be easy to move.

Lin Yan smiled, and now the Lin family can finally breathe a sigh of relief.

In the capital, because of the somewhat depressed atmosphere brought about by the death of the concubine, finally became cheerful and excited again because of the frequent good news from the northwest.

Winning battles is always very inspiring.

The Lin family's army was like a bamboo in the northwest, and it was all the way to the Hami royal court, and the Hami kingdom army was defeated.

The Hami Kingdom is one of the four largest tribal kingdoms outside the northwest frontier, and the recovery of the Hami Kingdom by the Great Liang at this time not only boosted morale, but also made a good start for the use of troops in the northwest in the future, and could also block the mouths of those courtiers in the court who did not approve of sending troops to conquer.

After receiving the good news, the emperor said a few words "good" outside the Qinzheng Palace, and praised him very happily: "The Lin family is worthy of being a loyal martyr's family, and Chengsheng and Chenggang are also worthy of being my heroic generals." There is the Lin family, and my Liang can be safe. ”

All the courtiers in the palace looked at Lin Yong and Lin Ying, and now the Lin family is really unmatched, coupled with the military exploits in the northwest, the court is already the Lin family.

Lin Yong and Lin Zhong glanced at the excited emperor, the two brothers glanced at each other, knelt down together, and said to the emperor: "This is all the loyal thing that the Lin family should do within the responsibilities of the emperor. ”

The emperor looked at them and said with a smile: "The two Lin Qing are too modest. ”

As he spoke, he said: "Spread my will to the northwest, so that Chengsheng Chenggang will temporarily rest and replenish his troops and military supplies." Set up the Hami Guard in Hami, and Lin Cheng was temporarily promoted to the commander of the Hami Guard, and I will send another political envoy and an envoy to preside over the civil affairs, finances, and affairs in the Hami Guard. ”

Lin Yong and Lin Ying glanced at each other, and finally kowtowed to thank each other: "Thank you, Lord Longen." ”

The political envoy sent by the emperor to Hami was Zhao Rin, and the envoy was a member of the Taiyuan Wang clan, that is, one of the brothers of Wang Zhaorong's mother's family.

Soon after, Lin Yong, the prince of Wuguo, and Lin Ying, the father-in-law of the country, both folded in the early dynasty.

At this time, it caused an uproar in the court, and now the Lin family is in the court when the flowers are blooming, Lin Yong and Lin Ying both proposed to Zhishi at this time, no matter who they are, they will feel incredible.

The emperor did not approve Lin Yong and Lin Ying's request for resignation for the first time, Lin Yong and Lin Ying asked again, the emperor refused, so three times, after the emperor talked to Lin Yong and Lin Ying, he finally allowed Lin Yong and Lin Zhong's resignation, and named Lin Ying as the Marquis of Jingyong, rewarding 10,000 taels of gold, 100 hectares of land, and countless other rewards.

Since, the Lin family has become the only family in Daliang with a double lord.

When Lin Ying talked to Lin Yan in Changkun Palace, she couldn't help but smile and said, "The Lin family is really hot now, like red-hot iron. Originally, I wanted to cool down by letting the minister and the second brother retire from the court, but the emperor's title couldn't be cold. ”

Lin Yan sighed: "Sometimes the emperor does things as he wants. He said: "Father didn't originally plan to let Chengliang come out after retiring, but now in this situation, why don't my father slow down." ”

In order not to make the Lin family too eye-catching in the court, many of the children of the Lin family have never been out of office, such as Lin Chengming in the second room, and Lin Chengliang, Lin Chengliang's younger brother, who has always been idle at home.

Lin Ying said: "There is no need to worry too much about this, there is one less governor of the five armies and the secretary of the military department, one more deputy commander of the five cities and horses, plus the matter of knighthood, no matter how much you are eye-catching." ”

Lin Yan was a little surprised when she heard this, and asked, "Father is planning to put Chengliang in the Five Cities Terracotta Division?" ”

The Five Cities Terracotta Division is the six products of the capital, divided into the middle, east, west, south, and north of the five cities each have a division, so it is called the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division, which is in charge of public security, fire prohibition and dredging of the canal streets and other miscellaneous matters in the capital, and the deputy commander is the official position of the nine products.

Lin Yan couldn't help but laugh when she heard this, and said, "If Chengliang knows, I'm afraid he will be angry." ”

Lin Chengliang grew up in the northwest, and his horizons are still a little bigger, and he often complains at home that he has nowhere to play his talents, but let him go to the Wucheng Soldiers and Horses Division to take care of these "little things" of chickens and dogs, he may not be willing.

Lin Ying took a sip of tea, put down the teacup, and said, "Chen Xun thinks that he is already twenty-five or sixteen, and it is not a way to stay at home like this all the time, so he must find something to do for him." But the situation at home is not suitable for him to go to an important position, and it is just right to be in the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses, and he can also hone his impatient temperament. ”

Lin Yan nodded when she heard this, and said to Lin Ying: "Father told Cheng Hao well, Cheng Liang is not a person who does not listen to persuasion, and my father will understand if he tells him well." ”

Lin Ying is kind and drizzly to her daughter, but she is much stricter to her son, she is a stick at every turn, and she will not explain to her son when she makes a decision on some things, Lin Ying is a little worried that her father and son will be unhappy because of this matter.

Lin Ying didn't say anything, paused, but still nodded slightly.

Lin Yan suddenly remembered, and asked again: "Where did the second uncle put the fifth brother?" ”

I'm afraid it won't be an important position either.

Lin Ying said: "Jingwei commands the ambassador of the cang. ”

Lin Yan listened with some sympathy for Lin Chengming, this one is not as good as Lin Chengliang, he is in charge of the warehouse in the Jingwei Command Envoy, and he doesn't even have a grade. People with a little strength are reluctant to let their children here.

When Lin Ying said this, she mentioned again: "There is one more thing I want to tell Niangniang, the Lin family may split up in advance." ”

When the emperor said that he would knight Lin Ying, although Lin Yan had already expected it, Lin Yan still felt a little depressed.

Lin Ying glanced at Lin Yan, and said: "The tree is divided into branches, and the family is divided into families, this is originally common sense, and the mother doesn't have to take it too seriously." (To be continued.) )
