The so-called angel is the messenger of the Son of Heaven, these eunuchs came with the holy decree in their hands, and the Lin family was naturally busy going out to burn incense to receive the decree, and even Lin Sizheng, the parent who was sick in bed, also got up from the bed and came to the door of the house to kneel to receive the holy decree.

For this era, as long as it is not a holy decree such as degrading officials and copying homes, it is the glory of the family to receive a holy decree, Lin Jian has been an official for many years, and he has received a lot of holy decrees when he was in the capital, but the Lin family of Yuezhou did not receive the holy decree, at this time, dozens of Lin family members in the Lin family mansion in Xingwenfang knelt in a row and respectfully greeted the holy decree.

Lin Jian and Lin Sizheng knelt at the front together.

The purple-clothed eunuch didn't dare to put up any more shelves in front of Lin Jian, so he immediately unfolded the holy decree and read out the meaning of the Son of Heaven.

The content of the decree is very simple, the son of the country is already old, unbearable, so last month to resign from the old man, this eldest grandson wine is nearly eighty years old this year, the son of heaven pity him for his hard work, he will allow him to return to his hometown next year, after that, all over the court, only Lin Yuanda alone is worthy of this great task, so Lin Jian returned to Chang'an as soon as possible to serve as the son of the country to serve as the wine of the country.

This decree was originally expected by Lin Jian, so he was not surprised, the only thing that was a little surprising was that in addition to these regular contents, there were a few other sentences added to the holy decree.

Probably speaking, I heard that the Lin family in Yuezhou is a family of scholars, and there are many erudite and backward scholars in the family, and the imperial court can't bear to bury it, so it allows Lin Jian to take the three children of the Lin family to Chang'an with Lin Jian and enter Taixue to study.

After reciting the holy decree, the purple-clothed eunuch hurriedly put the holy decree away, and said to Lin Jian with a smile: "Great Grandmaster, still not accept the decree?" ”

Guozi Priest Wine, is the head of the Great Zhou Dynasty official school, theoretically the teacher of the world's official students, and this position is generally held by the literary master, so in Chang'an City, people call the Guozi Priest Wine the great master.

Lin Jian hurriedly bowed his head and kowtowed: "Minister Lin Jian, thank God." ”

After the salute, the purple-clothed eunuch handed the holy decree to Lin Jian, and then said with a smile: "Congratulations to the Great Grandmaster, in the future, the students of Chang'an will do their best to be under the Great Grandmaster." ”

Lin Jian stretched out his hand to take this holy decree, but he felt a little strange in his heart, he was originally going to take up the post of the prince of the country, after taking advantage of his position, he went to the back door to take a few Lin family disciples into Taixue, but he didn't expect that before he could act, the imperial court actually gave him three places in the holy decree!

In this way, there are advantages and disadvantages, the advantage is that the quota of these students is bright from now on, there is no need to hide it, and there are naturally disadvantages, that is, since the imperial court has given additional places, then Lin Jian, the son of the country, will not be able to go through the back door to attract people to Taixue in the future.

In fact, these three places are the benefits that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the Prince of Song in the capital have won for Lin Jian, but when they come to him, they give him a thought.

Lin Jian was only distracted for a while, then came back to his senses and said in a deep voice to the eunuch: "Father-in-law is polite, the eldest grandson has not left his post yet, and Lin does not deserve the title of great grandmaster." ”

"The Great Grandmaster is too humble."

The purple-clothed eunuch's face was full of envy, and he said with a smile: "With this edict, Yuan Dagong is now the great master, which one of the Great Zhou dares to say that it is not?" ”

After the two of them were polite for a while, Lin Jian greeted Lin Sizheng on the side, Lin Sizheng immediately held a meeting and asked people to bring a small plate of gold, Lin Jian smiled slightly: "Several angels have worked hard all the way because of Lin's affairs, and this money will be given to the angels to drink tea." ”

Frankly speaking, Lin Jian is not a corrupt official, even if he has worked in the household department for many years, he has never taken any money from the treasury, but he is not a brainless scholar, plus the Yuezhou Lin family is already rich, so the money that should be given is naturally to be given.

Several eunuchs glanced at each other, with smiles on their faces, and waved at Lin Jian again and again.

"Since the Great Grandmaster has rewarded the money, then we won't shirk it, and we will touch the Great Grandmaster's temperament to a certain extent."

A few people smiled and accepted the plate of gold.

The Lin family was at the door, and they were polite to these eunuchs for a long time, and invited these eunuchs into the house to rest, and these little eunuchs were not polite, they worked hard all the way, so they simply stayed in the Lin family.

After settling these eunuchs, Lin Jian supported Lin Sizheng, who had not been very good, and came to the main hall of the Lin family's mansion, and the two of them sat down in the main hall, Lin Sizheng coughed twice, and then looked up at Lin Jian, with a smile on his face: "My Lin family has been a family heirloom for more than a hundred years, and when I come to you, the seventh child, I can really be regarded as a glorious ancestor." ”

"It's a pity that the family just held a funeral a few days ago, otherwise I would have to set up a running water banquet for a few days anyway, and invite the neighbors to celebrate and celebrate."

The last time the bandits broke into Xingwenfang, more than 40 people surnamed Lin from the Lin family died, and until the evening, the cries of each room can still be heard in the Lin family's mansion.

Lin Jian lowered his head and sighed: "If it weren't for me, there would be no such thing at home, I shouldn't have come back last year, just be cheeky and stay in Chang'an City, so I won't cause trouble for my family." ”

"What are these words?"

Lin Sizheng coughed twice more and said, "With the seventh child here, even if the Lin family is dead, it is also worth it." ”

Lin Jian opened his mouth, and finally had nothing to say, so he could only sigh and say: "Originally, my nephew did the sacrificial wine of the Guozi Supervisor, and the juniors in the family went to school, so there was a way out. ”

"I hope Uncle understands."

"This old man naturally understands."

Lin Sizheng said in a low voice: "Now that my Lin family is up and down, nothing is more important than your future, you don't have to take care of your family, just do what you have to do." ”

Lin Yuanda nodded: "I want one of the three Taixue places, and the other two will be arranged by the uncle, and when the New Year is over, I will leave to go back to Chang'an, and then the uncle will choose someone and let them go to Chang'an with me." ”

Lin Sizheng was thoughtful and asked, "Does the seventh want to send Lin Zhao to Taixue?" ”

Lin Yuanda nodded and said: "This is what I should have inherited from him, even if I didn't have this holy decree, I would also think of sending him to Taixue." ”

"That kid saved your life, and it can be regarded as saving the lives of the Lin family, if you arrange it like this, the old man naturally has no opinion, but ......"

Lin Sizheng sighed: "But today, so many people in the family knelt in front of the door and listened to the holy decree, they all knew about it, how could they not worry about it in their hearts?" I'm afraid some people will have opinions when the time comes. ”

"What can they say? If you have an opinion, let them come and talk to me! ”

Lin Jian stood up from the chair and said in a low voice: "There are a few elders in the family, I have never asked, is it possible that I can't do the things of a few students?" ”

Master Lin lowered his head and coughed violently, but there was a faint uneasiness in his heart.

Lin Zhao was not from a good background, not only was he a concubine, but his mother was also born in the dust, and he didn't have any fame.

Among the Lin clan in Yuezhou, there are not many Jinshiju, but there are a lot of Xiucai, if these people know Lin Jian's arrangement...... I'm afraid it will happen out of nowhere.
