After a while, seeing that the two of them were still lying on the ground with their heads down, Zhao Huan was almost angry: "Why, do you like kneeling so much, or is it because there are any treasures on the ground?" If there is, pick it up, then bring it to me and let me see it, and I want to see what kind of good thing it is that makes you so interested! ”

Lin Ruxian said: "The ministers are angry with Tianyan, and they should be guilty of it, and I hope Your Majesty will punish them!" ”

"Okay, I'm not angry, even if I'm angry, it's not for you, you get up!" Zhao Huan said calmly.

Listening to the emperor's tone, it seemed that he was indeed deflated, so the two of them got up lightly and sat down on the embroidery pier carefully, not even daring to take a breath of air, and the needles could be heard in the entire hall.

After they were done, Zhao Huan said calmly: "I am telling you this today, not for anything else, let alone what I want to do to you, but to tell you that many times you also have to understand my difficulties." ”

"It has been more than ten years since I succeeded to the throne, whether it is the DPRK or the central government, or the situation in various parts of the world, there is nothing that can make me feel at ease."

"The burden of the entire Great Cloud Dynasty is on my shoulders, and I don't dare to relax for a moment. Although I am the lord of the world, I have never had a good life, and sometimes I wonder why I was born in this emperor's family, and I might as well be a commoner. ”

"But no matter what I do, no matter how tired I am, those in the court seem to have not seen it, and some of them have been blessed by the country one after another, and they are in high positions but do not know how to be loyal to the ministry. All day long, he only knows how to drink and write poems, vassal elegance, and there is no one who sincerely thinks about the court. ”

"Are they really not afraid that one day my great clouds will overturn? Or do they really think that they are different from me, even if my Dayun Dynasty dies, they are not without a way out, they can still vote for the Ming Lord and continue to live their days of drinking and drinking. Don't you know that under the nest, there are no eggs, and if they really think like this, and put their lives and deaths on the mercy of others, then I can only say that they are extremely stupid. ”

Lin Ruxian led Lin Fan to kneel down again and said, "Your Majesty is still well-dressed and fed, and works hard for state affairs. As for mediocre people, there may be some in the court, but after all, they are only a few, and they have nothing to do with the overall situation, and please let Your Majesty be relieved, and you can't be disheartened because of some villains who don't know how to be loyal to the monarch and serve the country. ”

"Your Majesty is the Holy Monarch of the ages, there are countless famous generals in the court, although the current situation is difficult, but it is only temporary, as long as I am the monarch and ministers of Dayun, the minister believes that my Dayun will be able to live forever, and the country will be forever, so why should Your Majesty worry."

Although he knew that Lin Ruxian was comforting himself, Zhao Huan could only sigh: "I hope so!" Forget it, let's not talk about it! ”

"Okay, get up, you don't get tired of kneeling all the time!"

In order to change the topic, he asked with a smile: "Xiaolin Aiqing, from Fang Ping's imprisonment to the present, you are still the first to say good things about him in front of me, you are so bold, you are not afraid that I will punish you for the crime of forming a party for personal gain?" ”

"Of course I'm afraid!" Lin Fan took it for granted.

"It's just that the ministers have not formed a party, so how can they form a party for personal gain? If the minister said two good words for his husband and it was regarded as forming a party for personal gain, then the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty worked together to kill Mr. ”

"And Your Majesty is so wise and powerful, everything can't be hidden from Your Majesty's eyes, whether the ministers are forming a party or not, how can Your Majesty not know?"

Regarding Lin Fan's sycophancy, the emperor was indifferent: "Don't play tricks with me here, or not."

I know that your father and you haven't had any contact with Fang Ping recently, do you think I can still allow you to talk so much here? ”

"I hate courtiers the most in my life, if you are really Fang Ping's party, as early as when you took him down, you would be looked at by the people of Tsing Yiwei!"

"I didn't put you in prison, but that doesn't mean you're innocent. It's that your kid has just made a great achievement, and the whole city has seen it, and I have personally said that I will reward you well in the city, and if I arrest you as soon as the war is over, it will inevitably make people feel that I have backtracked and provoked criticism from the government and the opposition. ”

"And I really like a young man like you, and I don't want to bury my future talent like this. So count your luck kid, otherwise you wouldn't be talking to me here now, but talking to Fang Ping in the edict! ”

"But don't think that if you make a meritorious service, I won't do anything to you, if you really dare to be proud of your merits, then I will never spare you."

"Your Majesty loves your subordinates, it is a blessing for your subordinates!" Lin Fan complimented.

The emperor didn't take his stubble at all, although Zhao Huan was beating Lin Fan just now, he was also telling them that Fang Ping's affairs would not affect them for the time being, so that they could rest assured.

As for what the emperor said he liked, Zhao Huan said it, and Lin Fan also listened to it, the emperor's mind was just a trick, if Lin Fan really believed it, then he would be too naïve.

What the emperor said just now seemed to be heart-wrenching, but the Lin father and son were not close ministers of the emperor, let alone royal relatives, and their relationship with the emperor was far from that.

Showing closeness and trust in the courtiers in exchange for the loyalty of the courtiers is something that the emperors of all dynasties will do, and in the final analysis, it is nothing more than the word power.

If Lin Fan really did something that made the emperor unhappy one day in the future, when it was time to kill him, Lin Fan didn't think that the emperor would be soft, and the emperor wouldn't think that he would not be able to do it then.

Although the emperor is a golden mouth, but this light and fluttering liking can't save his life, if it reaches the ears of people outside, this is not a life-saving pill, if it is said to be a life-saving talisman, it is almost the same.

"Lin Aiqing, now that Fang Ping is in prison, there is no one to lead the border army in eastern Liaodong, and it is easy to have problems. Ai Qing thought that among the officials in the world, who was suitable to take over Fang Ping's position and serve as the new governor of Liaodong? I didn't see that the Lin father and son were loyal to each other crying bitterly after his words, and Zhao Huan was not disappointed, he didn't pay attention to Lin Fan, but asked Lin Ruxian.

Lin Ruxian didn't expect the emperor to ask him this question, since His Majesty knew about his relationship with Fang Ping, why would he ask himself such an important matter, wasn't he afraid that he was recommending someone from his side or Fang Ping's disciple?

Before figuring out the emperor's intentions, Lin Ruxian didn't dare to say more, he replied: "Your Majesty, the matter of the governor of Liaodong is very important, and the candidate should be judged by His Majesty, or handed over to the cabinet, and the cabinet will discuss and decide, and the minister will not dare to say anything!" ”

The emperor comforted him and said: "Aiqing has entered the cabinet, so he should participate in the discussion of politics, and it is the duty of the courtiers to recommend talents for the court." If Aiqing has a suitable candidate, although it is said that there is no need to look ahead and backward, as for whether the person recommended by Aiqing is appointed, you can discuss it carefully. ”

Lin Ruxian didn't fall for him, and replied: "I don't know much about the ministers of the court and the governors of all the provinces in the world, and I don't know who is suitable for such an important position!" ”

"Is Aiqing really not a single candidate?" The Emperor asked again, the hint already obvious.

Lin Ruxian now understands a little bit of what the emperor means, that is, he wants to let himself

He has recommended a person to take the place of the governor of Liaodong in Fang Ping.

In this way, he can not only separate himself from Fang Ping, but also if the new governor makes another mistake in the future, it can also be said that he does not recommend anyone and has nothing to do with the emperor. The emperor just accepted his own advice and that's it.

Before it happened, the emperor already had the idea of shirking responsibility, and even found the person who carried the black cauldron. On such a stall, Lin Ruxian couldn't cry or laugh.

Under the circumstance that Zhao Huan almost made it clear, Lin Ruxian knew that he had to carry this black cauldron if he didn't have to.

But since he didn't know who the emperor's favorite candidate was, he could only tentatively ask: "The candidate for the governor of Liaodong, does Your Majesty want to choose from among the governors of all provinces in the world?" ”

"Well, all the governors are feudal officials, and many governors are also famous generals on the battlefield who lead troops and have experience in leading troops. It's a good fit to choose from them! The Emperor nodded, agreeing with his idea.

After the emperor said this, Lin Ruxian greatly narrowed down the scope of candidates. There are thirteen realms in the world, and there are only about twenty people in all the governors together, excluding Fang Ping, and then excluding those who have not fought, as well as those who are obviously inappropriate, there are only four or five people left.

It's just that although the number of people left is not much, if you have to talk about it one by one, I am afraid that it will make the emperor dissatisfied.

Zhao Huan didn't expect Lin Ruxian to react so slowly, as he was so ignorant, he couldn't guess the holy will, even if he entered the cabinet, it would be difficult to fight those old foxes.

However, there is such a person in the cabinet, which is more convenient for him to control the situation of the court, so as not to collude with these old foxes and join forces to deceive themselves.

It's just that seeing that Lin Ruxian was still meditating there, the emperor quickly became a little impatient. He reminded Lin Ruxian and said: "Lin Aiqing might as well ask Kobayashi Aiqing's thoughts, after all, father and son are of the same heart, Kobayashi Aiqing is also smart, maybe there will be a good idea!" ”

Zhao Huan said everything so clearly, Lin Ruxian was not really a fool, and knew that His Majesty had once again narrowed the scope for him.

The candidate in the emperor's heart must have had contact with Lin Fan, and the only governors that Lin Fan has come into contact with are Shi Qiuming, the governor of Huainan Province, Liu Ye, the envoy of Huainan Province, and Zhou Chang, the governor of Zhongyuan Province.

And Liu Ye, the envoy of Huainan Province, is a simple civil servant who has not brought troops, so he can be ruled out first, and there are only two governors left.

Lin Ruxian didn't really ask Lin Fan, but thought for a while and said: "Liaodong is the place of battle, and Zhou Chang, the governor of Zhongyuan Province, is good at military affairs, and he has recently eliminated Chen Xinglong's bandits, so he is a rare general." Therefore, the minister recommended Zhou Chang, the governor of Zhongyuan Province, to take over as the governor of Liaodong, and he will definitely be able to stabilize the situation in Liaodong and keep the Manzhen army out of the pass! ”

The emperor pondered for a moment, shook his head and said: "Zhou Chang has the ability, but at the moment, the Central Plains Road is not stable, and the remnants of the Xingwang army still exist." In this case, Zhongyuan Dao is only afraid that he will not be able to do without him for the time being, so Aiqing should choose someone else! ”

Lin Ruxian didn't know why the emperor vetoed Zhou Chang, not to mention the personal friendship between him and Zhou Chang, in his opinion, Zhou Chang has been in battle for a long time, and he acts steadily, and rarely takes risks, what Liaodong needs most now is such a person, Zhou Chang is indeed a suitable candidate.

If he can really take over as the governor of Liaodong, even if he risks carrying the black pot for His Majesty, Lin Ruxian feels that he can give it a try.

Zhou Chang is obviously a very suitable candidate, but His Majesty refused, if Lin Ruxian's performance just now was still a little stupid, then he really couldn't figure out what the emperor was thinking at this time!
