I don't know if Qin Liu came to the door again to express his position, or because of what rumors King Qi Zhong released, in short, many people came to visit Lin Liu one after another on this day, but basically they all asked the housekeeper to bring condolences to express their attitude, and only Lin Xiao and Lin Yang came to the door in person.

"There's not much wind outside, and I don't see any change now." Lin Yang made a gesture pointing at the sky with his right hand, Lin Xiao and Lin Liu both understood in seconds, this refers to the emperor.

Lin Yang's father-in-law is the henchman of the current emperor, and he himself is also talented and good-looking, plus in recent years, the emperor has gradually really controlled the government, and young people like Lin Yang who have real skills and are loyal to themselves are more and more valued by the emperor.

Well, during the day today, Lin Yang was summoned by the emperor to go to the palace to study, looking at this rhythm, I am afraid that Lin Yang will be able to leave the Hanlin Academy after a while.

Lin Xiao tapped the table with his fingertips, "No matter what the truth of this matter is, the royal family will definitely cover it for the sake of face, but I heard a gossip before, saying that the relationship between Princess Anping and the concubine is not as good as outsiders see, and it is good to say 'respect each other is like a guest'." ”

Lin Xiao didn't have much impression of the emperor, but he mixed better than Lin Yang in the Hanlin Academy, after all, the vast majority of the Hanlin Academy are some "ambitious" people, although they have their own arrogance and arrogance, but Lin Liu said more about the various cautious eyes of the literati, Lin Yang is better than the champion of the same department, which will naturally attract envy, jealousy and hatred.

Lin Xiao is different, he has not been summoned by the emperor when he entered the Hanlin Academy, he is considered a "frustrated person", naturally it will not cause public outrage, but will give some people a different kind of self-confidence, plus Lin Xiao can be a man and be generous, and he will naturally mix well, that is, because of this, Lin Xiao's news in the Hanlin Academy is better than Lin Yang.

And the Hanlin Academy looks like a noble place, only doing learning and not mixing with the government, but in fact, the people of the Hanlin Academy are the reserve team of cabinet scholars, and the information of the Hanlin Academy is far more well-informed than many departments, and the truth of the gossip circulating here is far higher than that of other places.

"When did you get this news?" Lin Liu asked, hearing this, an idea suddenly rose in his heart.

Lin Xiao thought for a while and said: "It was only a year or two ago, and I didn't pay much attention to it at that time, after all, Princess Anping and his wife are notoriously good, and I thought that someone deliberately spread rumors to make trouble." And the news didn't spread for long, just a few days before it dissipated. ”

This kind of thing is considered to be a slander of the royal family, which is really not uncommon in ancient times, how did Yeshi come about? Half of the reasons stem from this. It is a trivial matter to say that Princess Anping and his wife are not emotional, and there are not a few things that have the audacity to say that the emperor is the "tanuki for the prince" in today's emperor, and even this kind of thing is common in all dynasties.

Lin Xiao didn't believe this rumor before, but after hearing what happened yesterday, he suddenly remembered it, if this rumor is true, then this matter is probably not as simple as everyone sees on the surface.

"Who knows about this?" Lin Liu asked again.

Lin Xiao could probably guess what Lin Liu wanted to do, but he frowned and said: "There were many people who heard the news at the beginning, but it has been a long time, and everyone basically didn't believe it at that time. "And I'm afraid that the vast majority of them will be pretending to be stupid.

"Huh!" Lin Liu said with a smile: "Uncle Qi misunderstood what I meant, if this kind of news comes out at this time, and don't say whether others believe it or not, just say that this time is too imaginative, but it will outweigh the losses." ”

Lin Xiao and Lin Yang both nodded when they heard this, they were still afraid that Lin Liu would be young and whimsical, but now listening to Lin Liu, it doesn't seem to mean that.

"This matter is about the royal family, it is the most correct for us not to do anything, I look at the attitude of King Qi Zhong today, I am afraid that there is still a certain amount of attention to this matter, but because of the royal face, they don't want to make a big fuss, but they will definitely investigate it in private." Lin Liu thought for a while and said, "I'm going to tell the little marquis of the Qin family about this news. ”

After thinking about it, Lin Xiao and Lin Yang also thought that this was a good idea, the eldest princess of Qiyang and Qin Liu could be regarded as royals, and they were not afraid of being dragged to their own families after the news came out, and they were far better at talking than their own families in the Emperor's Sect's Mansion. More importantly, Qin Liu and Lin Liu have a good relationship, even if Lin Xiao's news is wrong, he will not offend too many people.

"By the way, when I entered the palace today, I heard a news that it had been scheduled to go on a southern tour of the Holy Driver in the Spring Festival next year." After Lin Yang saw that this matter had been discussed, he hurriedly shared new information.

Lin Xiao had been in the capital for a few years, and he knew much more about this matter than Lin Liu, so he was the first to ask, "It's settled!" ”

The emperor's desire to go on a southern tour is not something that I only remembered this year, there have been rumors one after another in the early years, but there has been no follow-up, it is said that it was sprayed back by some cabinet scholars on the grounds of labor and money, so everyone usually listens to it as news, but I didn't have much hope for this matter, but I didn't expect it to be decided now.

Lin Yang nodded, "I think that if it weren't for the matter of Princess Anping yesterday, I'm afraid the emperor would have made an order in the next two days." ”

"But now that Princess Anping has come out, will there be any changes in the southern tour next year?" Lin Xiao was a little worried.

This emperor's southern tour is 100% sure that he will pass through Jinling and Yangzhou, whether it is to worship ancestors or to inspect the people's conditions, when he arrives there, he must definitely go to these two places. In Jinling, the leader of the Lin family, Mr. Lin is now an official, and Lin Hong in Yangzhou has also made up for the magistrate of Yizhen County, which is not famous, but the problem is that the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal enters the river here.

Since the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal was repaired, Yizhen County is one of the favorite places of all kinds of literati and scholars, known as "the first state of Huainan in the past", with a long history and rich cultural heritage, and abundant cultural relics and historic sites in the territory. From the two Song Dynasty to the Ming Dynasty, the Yizhen scholars were Kejia Liandeng, Jinshi and the first, and the champions were complete in the eyes of the three tripods, and a large number of cultural scholars emerged, laying a strong cultural foundation and simple folk customs.
