Lin Zhao is only thirteen years old this year.

Whether it is age or identity, it is far from enough to enter the Eye of the East Palace, so even if Li Xu and Lin Jian mentioned Lin Zhao's name in front of the prince before, the prince only said that he knew, and there was no follow-up.

According to the normal trajectory, if Lin Zhao can be admitted to the Jinshi after three years or more, and the Jinshi is the first, then with Lin Jian's relationship, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince may be able to see him, and then Lin Zhao will be grateful and bow down, and become a loyal party in the East Palace from then on.

In other words, he must at least enter the rank and rank before he is qualified to stand in line.

Now, that inconspicuous pamphlet made Lin Zhao, who was also not very inconspicuous, instantly enter the field of vision of the high-level of Chang'an, and even entered the field of vision of His Majesty the Emperor, and naturally it would be noticed by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.

Therefore, after coming out of the Danyang Eldest Princess's Mansion, the prince thought about seeing Lin Zhao, taking this young man under his command, and making him a member of the East Palace.

After hearing Li Xu's words, Lin Zhao was silent for a long time, and then said with a wry smile: "His Royal Highness, I am just a student, and I have no weight in Chang'an City, how can I serve His Royal Highness the Prince?" ”

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has no intention of asking Senior Brother Lin to do things now, Senior Brother Lin is still studying in the Guozijian with peace of mind, what the prince means is that Senior Brother Lin will do his best to continue to do that Chang'an style, which is to help the prince."

Li Xu smiled and said: "This mansion, on the surface, is my private residence, but it is actually purchased by His Royal Highness the Prince. ”

"If we can help our junior brother, we will definitely help."

A Lin Zhao is naturally not very important, and there is no need to rush to win it over, but the prince is worried that after Chang'an Feng becomes bigger, someone will target this piece and then win over Lin Zhao, so he has to bring Lin Zhao into his command in advance.

As for the promise of help, it looks tempting, in fact, Lin Zhao is not particularly important, some small favors that can help, Donggong will naturally help, if Lin Zhao really gets into any big trouble, except for Lin Jian, there will be no one to stand up for him.

Lin Saburo lowered his head and pondered for a while, and then asked, "Your Royal Highness, does it make a difference if I nod or not today?" ”

"It makes no difference."

The smile on Li Xu's face subsided a little, and he said slowly: "Senior brother nodded today, he will be his own person in the future, and when the junior brother will be promoted to the middle jinshi, His Royal Highness the Prince...... After that, the junior brother naturally prospered in the court. ”

"If the junior brother doesn't nod, the future will continue as usual, and there will be no difference from before."

Hearing this, Lin Zhao no longer hesitated, and arched his hand to Li Xu and said: "His Royal Highness, Lin Zhao is just a person from the countryside in Yuezhou, if it weren't for the Seventh Uncle's care, I'm afraid I'm still selling books in Yuezhou now, today the Prince of the World deigned to ask, I naturally didn't dare to refuse, but before I agreed, I need to tell the Seventh Uncle about this matter, and in the future, I will be lucky to do things for the East Palace, and what I do cannot contradict the Seventh Uncle." ”

"This is natural."

Li Xu laughed and said, "Master Lin is a well-known Donggong lineage, and if the junior brother says so, it can be regarded as a success." ”

His Royal Highness took out a red jade plaque from his sleeve, handed it to Lin Zhao, and said with a smile: "After today, the junior brother will be our own person." ”

Speaking of this, he looked left and right, and after seeing that there was no one around, he lowered his voice and said: "Your Majesty will eventually return to heaven when the dragon will return to heaven, and when you reach the heir of Your Highness, we will have a good future." ”

This sentence is pure painting cake.

Now that the prince's family and the Kang family are fighting fiercely, and the mind of the Son of Heaven is unknown, it is still unknown who will be able to sit in that position in the future, otherwise His Royal Highness the prince will not recruit talents everywhere.

If his position as the prince is stable, as long as he waits for the throne in the East Palace, why bother to rush around?

Even if the crown prince can succeed in the throne, Lin Zhao will be at most a jinshi, Lin Jian and Li Xu can be regarded as dragon heroes, he can't be counted.

However, Li Xu said so, Lin Zhao couldn't refuse, so he could only nod silently and said, "Thank you for your support, Your Royal Highness." ”

"I can't talk about it."

His Royal Highness the Prince said with a smile: "You and I are senior brothers of the same generation, there is no need to be so polite, I have prepared a table of banquets here, and I have been waiting for my junior brother for a long time, I am afraid that it will be cold at this time." ”

As he spoke, he pulled Lin Zhao's sleeve and walked inside.

"Let's go, let's go to dinner."

Lin Zhao bowed slightly, and was pulled by him towards the back room.

His Royal Highness the Prince said with a smile as he walked: "I only rushed back to Chang'an yesterday, and this afternoon I finally saw the westward journey written by my junior brother, which is really fascinating and exciting." ”

"That monkey is also cute."

He coughed and asked with some curiosity.

"By the way, junior brother, that monkey ......"

"What happened?"

Lin Zhao: "......"

……………………

When I walked out of this unknown mansion, it was almost midnight, that is, it was almost nine o'clock, and this hour was just the beginning of nightlife in later generations, but in this era, even in Chang'an City, there were not too many people on the road.

Li Xu originally wanted Lin Zhao to stay here, but Lin Sanlang refused to live or die, so he had no choice but to send a carriage to send him back to Guozijian, fortunately, the carriage of the Song Wangfu was very easy to use, and the fangding who patrolled the streets along the way only didn't see the carriage, and soon the carriage arrived at the gate of Guozijian, Lin Zhao jumped down from the carriage, thanked the man who was driving, and then walked into Guozijian leisurely.

He had drunk a lot of alcohol today, and he was already a little unsteady when he walked.

The man in the carriage watched Lin Zhao walk into the Guozijian before leaving with confidence.

After the carriage walked out of the Wubenfang about a pillar of incense, a young man in the Guozi Prison walked out slowly.

The two officials guarding the door of the Guozijian immediately came up to support Lin Zhao, accompanied by a smile: "Lin Gongzi, you drank too much and went the wrong way, this is the gate of the Guozijian, not the school." ”

He spoke very politely: "The little one is sending the son back to the school?" ”

Lin Saburo shook his head a little stubbornly, and said in a low voice: "I didn't go the wrong way, I just want to go out......"

The two yacha glanced at each other, and one of them gritted his teeth, lowered his head and said, "It's so late, you still drink, where can you go?" ”

"It's really not good, where are you going, the little one is calling a car to take you there?"

Lin Zhao spit out a mouthful of heavy wine from his mouth, a little sober, he rubbed his head, knowing that his state was indeed not going far, so he groped out a small string of copper coins from his arms, handed it to this yacha, and spoke a little intermittently.

"Then trouble, call me a ...... for a car"

"I ...... I'm going, Pingkangfang..."

Yacha nodded again and again, and soon called an ox cart to come over, they were all on an errand in Chang'an City, and the street patrol would not embarrass them, the ox cart soon arrived at the gate of Pingkang Fang, Lin Saburo staggered out of the car, and after barely recognizing the path, he walked forward leisurely.

The yacha was afraid that something would happen to him, so he hurriedly followed and supported him.

"Lin Gongzi, where are you going, I'll take you there?"

Lin Zhao was already much sober at this time, he burped and spoke.

"Go...... Go to Lin Mansion. ”
