Chapter Eighty-Eight: The First Foot in the Tiger's Den

Of course, Meng Tan's words were not referring to Lin Yuqing, but to the old general Shen.

Since he ascended the throne for a few years, almost every decision in the court has involved the participation of Shen Hao and General Shen, and the old man has not taken him as the emperor in his eyes, and often disagrees with him. Moreover, even if the old man made a mistake, he looked like he was right-for-granted, which made him, the emperor, lose face and have no majesty, let alone how to better govern the country according to his own ideas.

It may be that Meng Tan's muttering just now made Lin Yuqing puzzled, and he also felt that he might have said something wrong, so he kept silent.

Both of them fell silent for a while, and at the end, it was Meng Tan who said, "Okay, I don't want to investigate your previous matter." I just want to ask you, are you on the side of that old man? Or do you choose to abandon the darkness and turn to the light? As long as you promise to help me get the incriminating evidence of General Shen, perhaps, just a little bit of evidence, as long as it can help him achieve the goal of retreating, it will be enough. ”

Lin Yuqing smiled bitterly, "Your Majesty, this matter is already like this, right?" No matter what tricks I play, I have to find evidence of Wu Hou's crimes? Even if it's a fabrication, it's okay? ”

Meng Tan smiled and shook his head, as if he didn't agree with Lin Yuqing's statement, but he looked very happy.

"Hey~, it's not right for you to say that. I believe you, so the evidence you give me can only be true. ”

The meaning of the emperor's words couldn't be clearer, that is. No matter what kind of evidence it is, as long as it is related to Wuhou. As long as it's true, even if it's just a little bit. This can also be used as evidence.

After taking this hot yam that couldn't be thrown away, Lin Yuqing stayed in the palace for two more days, and then followed a master of ceremonies in the palace to Wuhou Mansion.

Although this Wuhou Mansion is located in a prosperous place in the capital, the architectural specifications are not very luxurious. If it weren't for the plaque of Wuhou Mansion hanging on it, Lin Yuqing would feel that this was at most the courtyard of a wealthy family.

Patent leather for large mahogany doors. It's already mottled, and it's not painted in time, and it looks a little down.

"We are coming to the Wuhou Mansion on behalf of the emperor, we must be generous and decent in everything we say and do, we must think about the royal face, but we can't let the people in the Wuhou Mansion think that the people who come out of our palace are nothing more than that. Rather, it is necessary to give people a sense of oppression of authority. ”

Lin Yuqing sighed helplessly in his heart. On both sides of this power struggle, even the most minions can't be easy, it's really tiring!

What makes her more tired, though. She is specially appointed by the emperor. However, before coming, this Aunt Song also inquired about her own affairs. At the end, there is doubt and incomprehension.

Especially. When she finished saying these words, she looked at Lin Yuqing very meaningfully. This made Lin Yuqing's already tense nerves almost broken.

At this time, the door of Wuhou Mansion opened, and two people, a man and a woman, came out of it. These two people are about the same age, both around forty years old, but the two of them are full of red faces, and they do not procrastinate at all, and they are very neat.

"It turned out that Song Zhangshi in the palace and the sisters came, and the old man was far away. A small courtyard has been specially prepared for you in the house, please come in quickly. ”

As she spoke, the woman also gave a salute to the crowd, and then the two of them made a way out of the way, and made a gesture of invitation, and invited them into the house.

This Aunt Song really always remembers that she is from the palace, facing two people with pleasant faces, and she also puts the shelf in charge of things upright.

After entering the Wuhou Mansion, Lin Yuqing felt that the decoration here would never make people feel as unworthy of the name as it looked.

The pavilions and pavilions in the Wuhou Mansion are carved in depth, lifelike, and smart, and they look even more exquisite than the carvings in the palace.

In particular, when they passed by a small river pond, Lin Yuqing actually saw that there was always fresh water coming out of the pond, which was obviously a pool of living water. This is too extravagant in this capital city located in the plains. Moreover, a rockery in the lake, faintly glowing with green light, is actually a natural piece of jade, standing up.

This jade mountain is nearly two meters long, and this is probably the only priceless rockery in the world.

Lin Yuqing really didn't understand, in this Wuhou Mansion, there were so many obvious first-of-its-kind things, and even things that were not in the palace, how could they not cure the sins of Wuhou Ye.

The man who led the way, when he saw that Lin Yuqing had been staring at the spring in the lake and the jade mountain, said kindly: "This sister, are you interested in this small lotus pond in Wuhou Mansion?" ”

Lin Yuqing saw that others saw his thoughts, and if he denied it, it was very likely to make others think more, which would be very bad for himself.

So, she smiled and said: "This small lotus pond in Wuhou Mansion is really chic, and even the rockery is exciting. If Shen Xiu is not mistaken, this rockery should be a green jade rough, right? With such a large piece of mountain, I am afraid that it can rival half of the territory of the Shang Kingdom. ”

Lin Yuqing had heard the story of returning to Zhao after finishing the battle, and she would not doubt that this rockery had such a value.

However, when the man heard this, he was stunned for a moment, and then said with a humble smile: "What my sister said may not be too exaggerated, no matter how valuable this jade is, it is just a dead thing, how can it be compared with the land." This rockery is just when Marquis Wu bought this house, it was already here, even if it is valuable, it can only stand where it will always be, if Marquis Wu sells this house to someone else, this thing will naturally become someone else's. ”

"Auntie, please, sisters, please."

After the man said these words to Lin Yuqing, he went to greet the others enthusiastically.

She looked at it twice, and then she honestly followed into a small courtyard.

Although this small courtyard is a little off, it is still clean, and the various flowers planted in it are blooming strongly, and the fragrant fragrance that is refreshing is coming.

"Steward Li, even this small courtyard is well managed, it seems that this person still has to ask Steward Li for advice."

I don't know if this Aunt Song really wants to ask Steward Li for advice, or if she wants to take this opportunity to explain her humble and noble identity to this Steward Li.

When Steward Li heard this, he didn't care, but still kept the same smile and said, "Auntie's words, but I just promoted Li." Li is just a little housekeeper in this Wuhou Mansion, how dare he ask his aunt to teach him the art of governance, if his aunt does not hesitate to teach one or two, it will be Li's blessing.
