Chapter 28: Forgive her innocence
"I know Muzi has gone too far, but there are some things between me and her that no one else understands, so there's a reason why she did it." Jun Wuchen hurriedly opened his mouth to defend Lin Muzi, for fear that Emperor Fengxu would blame Lin Muzi because of his anger, "Father, my son, please beg you." ”
Looking at his son kneeling in front of him, Emperor Fengxu couldn't tell what he felt in his heart, this son of his, who didn't want what he wanted like others since he was a child, opened his mouth to his parents, and what he really wanted was all obtained by himself in his own way, he grew up so big, and all he really asked for was Lin Muzi. When Jun Wuchen said it for the first time before, he only regarded Jun Wuchen because Lin Muzi was young and cute, and Lin Chengxiang's request, so he rejected him, and now Jun Wuchen is still begging him because Lin Muzi wants to kill him, or when Lin Muzi wants to kill him, Emperor Fengxu can't figure out whether this situation is good or bad.
"Jun Wuchen, have you figured out what you're doing?" Emperor Fengxu rarely called Jun Wuchen's full name, and there was no joy or anger in his tone.
Jun Wuchen replied without even blinking his eyes, "Erchen thinks very clearly, and hopes that his father will be fulfilled." ”
"Okay, I promise you, as long as Lin Muzi does not violate the laws and regulations I have set, I will forgive her for her innocence." After listening to Jun Wuchen's words, Emperor Fengxu covered the piece of paper with his own jade seal, and then handed the paper back to Jun Wuchen, "You can explain who will keep this piece of paper, in addition, if something happens to Lin Muzi, the person you arranged will not have time to bring this piece of paper out, and I will also write a holy decree to keep Lin Muzi." ”
"Thank you, father." After Jun Wuchen finished speaking, he kowtowed to Emperor Fengxu heavily, "This time the envoy, the sons must live up to the mission and complete the tasks assigned by the father to the sons." ”
Emperor Fengxu looked at Jun Wuchen and let out a long sigh, "You are also older, it's time to learn how to deal with the government, when you come back from the Baili Dynasty, you will follow Prime Minister Lin to learn how to deal with the government, and then I will let Prime Minister Lin Cheng's eldest son Lin Chu enter the military camp in these two days, and in the future, Lin Chu will be your strongest help in the military camp and the court, when he reaches his age, I will arrange for him to take the imperial examination, you remember to have a good relationship with him." There are thousands of courtiers, and Prime Minister Lin is the only old minister who fights the country with me, and there is no need to question the loyalty of the Lin family. ”
"Yes, father, the son knows." Jun Wuchen kept Emperor Fengxu's words in his heart, and Emperor Fengxu said the same thing to him in his previous life, but he didn't listen to it at all, so Jun Wuchen after being reborn was very attentive to this aspect. He himself knew that only by managing the Jun Dynasty well could he have enough capital to get close to Lin Muzi, and he also had enough ability to make Lin Muzi have no way to refuse him.
"It's good to know, then you can go down!" Emperor Fengxu rubbed his eyebrows, and a tired look appeared on his face, "It's late at night, I'm going to accompany your mother, you go to bed early." ”
Jun Wuchen respectfully finished saluting, and then exited the imperial study.
Prime Minister's Office
"Master, young master, Miss said she wasn't hungry and didn't eat." Qing'er slowly spoke to Prime Minister Lin Cheng and Lin Chu who were waiting in the front hall.
Lin Chu didn't raise his head and replied to her, "If you don't eat, you won't eat, and if you don't eat a meal, you won't starve her." ”
When Qing'er heard Lin Chu's words, a trace of surprise flashed in her eyes, and when she was about to say something, she saw Lin Cheng's face as if she hadn't heard anything, so she didn't say any more. In fact, she wanted to tell the two that Lin Muzi hadn't eaten more than one meal, and she was still locked in her room and couldn't come out, but she didn't dare to speak again.
After Qing'er left, Prime Minister Lin Cheng asked Lin Chu, "Chu'er, I promise you not to care about this matter, but you have to make it clear to me what happened." ”
"Muzi is too young, and her likes and dislikes for people are too obvious, if it is for ordinary people, it would be fine, but Muzi The object of her likes and dislikes is His Royal Highness the Prince." Lin Chu put down the chopsticks in his hand and told the events of the past two days, "The reason why Muzi didn't come back last night was that she ran into His Royal Highness the Crown Prince on the way home, and if it weren't for Bai Li Jin, even if she stopped Muzi's movements, Muzi might have killed His Royal Highness the Prince." Today, I went to Du Mansion to take Muzi home, and she still spoke disrespectfully to His Royal Highness the Prince, Dad, I know that you have the ability to protect Muzi from harming her, but can you control the opinions of the Son of Heaven? But when Muzi's attitude and practice towards His Royal Highness the Crown Prince spread, what does the emperor want to do on the lake, how does Muzi think of us, what does he think of our Lin family? What will people in the world think? But will you still be able to protect the wood then! ”
After listening to Lin Chu's words, Prime Minister Lin was silent for a long time and slowly spoke, "Alas, my father is old and can't control it, so be it!" Also, what happened to Muzi last night was you suppressed? ”
"No, by the time I received the news, this matter had already been suppressed, and it was ordered by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to do it." Lin Chu told Prime Minister Lin Cheng the news he had found, "So Erchen doesn't know what His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is thinking, so he can only take care of Muzi." ”
Prime Minister Lin nodded and looked at his son, "Chu'er, you are doing a good job." But you have to remember one more important thing, who will inherit the throne in the future of His Royal Highness the Prince, and you will also be his most powerful and valued courtier, so no matter what His Royal Highness the Crown Prince does, you must not have any prejudices against His Royal Highness the Prince. Even though.. Even if the prince takes you to marry Muzi in the future, Muzi is not happy, and you can't make any moves that are unfavorable to His Royal Highness the Prince. ”
"My son knows." Lin Chu nodded, as the son-in-law of the Prime Minister's Mansion, he has been educated by generals since he was a child, and naturally knows what he should do and what he should not do, "In the future, I will assist His Royal Highness the Crown Prince well, and there will definitely be no second thoughts." ”
Prime Minister Lin Cheng nodded, and filled the wine glass in front of Lin Chu for the first time, "Chu'er, this is the first time I have poured wine for you, and it is also the first time I have let you drink. Prime Minister Lin Cheng raised the cup in front of him and drank the wine in the cup with Lin Chu, "The emperor will issue an order in two days, you will go to the barracks, and when His Royal Highness the Crown Prince comes back from the Baili Dynasty, he will also come to the barracks, and then your position in the barracks must be worthy of the title of His Royal Highness the Prince's left and right hands." Only if you have a firm foundation in the barracks, it will be much easier for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to come again. ”
"Yes, my son remembered. The son will try. Lin Chu's face was a little red after drinking, "I will pave the way for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince in the military camp, and I will not insult your father's prestige, let alone disgrace the Lin family, and my son will complete the fate that the Lin family should complete and become the sword in the hands of His Royal Highness the Prince." ”
Prime Minister Lin Cheng looked at Lin Chu and said that his reluctance must be fake, after all, he is only eleven years old, and he is still a child who doesn't care about anything in other people's homes, but as the concubine of the Prime Minister's Mansion, he must abandon those easy lives and grow up slowly. Originally, Lin Chu didn't have to do this so early, but the letter sent by the senior monk when Lin Muzi was born made him make up his mind early that he couldn't marry his sister to His Royal Highness the Prince, and the only way to make Lin Muzi not marry His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was that Lin Chu himself was strong enough and was very loyal to Jun Wuchen, so that no one would use the idea of Lin Muzi marrying Jun Wuchen to connect the Lin family with the royal family more closely.
"Good, good, good son of father." Prime Minister Lin Cheng patted Lin Chu on the back, "I'm already old, and I can't manage many things, and the Prime Minister's Mansion will depend on you in the future, and Muzi will also rely on you." When Muzi was born, your mother died because of dystocia, so Muzi has not enjoyed her mother's love in this life, and no one has taught her a lot of truths, you will pay more attention in the future, although this girl is unforgiving, but she still listens to you the most, if you marry a wife in the future, you must be a virtuous and good to Muzi. Dad knows that this is very unfair to you, but Muzi is so small, Daddy can't rest assured. ”
Lin Chu sandwiched a chopstick dish and gave it to Prime Minister Lin Cheng, "Dad, what are you talking about, Muzi is my sister, I naturally have to take good care of her, and my future wife will also be very good to Muzi, if Muzi suffers any grievances because of my wife, I will divorce my wife without saying a word, my sister Lin Chu naturally can't suffer a little grievance." ”
Prime Minister Lin looked at Lin Chu and didn't say anything, from childhood to adulthood, Lin Muzi was almost always taken care of by Lin Chu, and because he was busy with official business, he basically didn't have much time to take care of the two, so he didn't worry that Lin Chu would not take good care of Lin Muzi, but he was afraid that Lin Chu's wife would not be virtuous and let Muzi be wronged.
"Dad, I'd better go and see Muzi." Lin Chu hastily finished the rest of the meal, then chose some of Lin Muzi's favorite dishes and put them in a clean bowl on the side, and asked his subordinates to bring a basket over, for fear that the food would be cold.
Prime Minister Lin nodded, "You are still gentle, Mu Zi is very stubborn." ”
"I know." Lin Chu walked out of the front hall with the basket and went in the direction of Lin Muzi's courtyard.
Qing'er, who was standing outside the courtyard, saw Lin Chu's figure from afar, and when he reported to Lin Muzi, the latter still didn't open the door and didn't even say anything.
"Why are you standing outside, not going inside to take care of Miss." Lin Chu looked at the maid standing in Lin Muzi's yard, and then looked at the closed door, probably guessing something, "What, Miss locked herself in and refused to come out?" ”
Qing'er looked at Lin Chu's face, it was not as stinky as before, and she dared to whisper, "Since you sent Miss back, Young Master, Miss has driven us all out, and no one has seen us. ”
Lin Chu was a little angry for a while, but he still tried to hold it down, and handed the basket in his hand to Qing'er and said, "I'll call you later, you're bringing the food in, I'll go in and have a look." Saying that, Lin Chujin pushed open the door of Lin Muzi's room, there was no light in the room, and it was dim and a little depressed.
