Chapter 156: Lin Xiangru
"After Lin Qing stepped down as Xiangbang, he was appointed as the official of Zhao's domestic history and internal history, specializing in rent and finance. The www.biquge.info of the pen and the fun of the cabinet had to ask for money and manpower from the internal history department for the vehicles to be built by the Ministry of Internal Affairs, so Lin Qing had the right to intervene in this matter. In addition, Lin Qing had been the official of Pingyang Jun back then, and the ministers of the court, Pingyang Jun has always only served Lin Qing, if the prince can say that Lin Qing can be moved, through him, he may be able to make Pingyang Jun reconsider......"
After Lin Xiangru's nephew Lin Lishi walked into the Lin Mansion under the guidance of Lin Xiangru's nephew, Mingyue was still thinking about the idea that Touch Long gave him, which seemed very feasible.
Things gather people in groups, Pingyang Jun and his brother Pingyuan Jun have a general relationship, but they are similar to Lin Xiang. It can be seen from this mansion that the two of them are the kind of "Qing officials" in the traditional sense, the mansion is not big, and there is not much luxury.
Lin Lishi was more than twenty years old, but he was not very polite to Mingyue, and said angrily: "I hope Chang'anjun will sit for a while, and my uncle should still be changing clothes......
Mingyue bowed her head and sat on the seat behind the desk and waited quietly, although this was not the first time he had met Lin Xiangru, but in retrospect, he had only taken a picture in the past, and he hadn't even said a word.
Mingyue is familiar with Lin Xiangru, in fact, he is very familiar with it, "Will be harmonious" is a fifth-grade primary school text, which is the earliest historical article he came into contact with when he was a child, after more than ten years, Mingyue still remembers the general content of the article, such as "Returning to Zhao after the end", "Angry hair rushing to the crown", "Bearing the guilt of Jing Jing", has become an idiom that he came to open his mouth.
His impression of Lin Xiangru, which was established from that text, was awe-inspiring and resourceful when he returned to Zhao. It is said that at the Mianchi Alliance, when King Zhao was humiliated and the ministers were silent, it was Lin Xiangru who stood up and asked Qin Wangji to also play the pot for King Zhao Huiwen.
King Qin was unwilling, so Lin Xiangru threatened King Qin, "Within five steps, my blood can still splash your face!" "Naked threats. Lin Xiangru may have some ability, and he is sure to cross the distance of five steps, rush straight to King Qin, and use the copper rope in his hand to die with him. This kind of domineering spirit really shocked King Qin.
After that, the guards around the King of Qin tried to use the sword in their hands to serve Lin Xiangru ("the left and right blades are similar"), Lin Xiangru only glared at them, and the guards were all cowardly ("Xiangru is like opening his eyes, and the left and right are both beautiful"), because Lin Xiangru was too close to the King of Qin, they threw rat bogeys. King Qin looked sideways to the left and right, and found that the guards around him seemed to be useless, so "King Qin is not afraid, for a blow"......
This paragraph is really amazing, you know, this, but Qin Wangji, who imprisoned and forced King Chu Huai to death, is Qin Wangji, who is "the first dynasty in the world", and Qin Wangji, who has Bai Qi and hundreds of thousands of Qin troops......
That may be the only grievance in this life of the King of Qin, except for watching the Empress Dowager Mi and Yiqu Jun fool around and have a child.
Although the meeting of Michi was not only because of Lin Xiangru's personal courage and strategy, but more importantly, the national strength of Zhao was still relatively strong at that time, and Qin Wangji also wanted to reconcile with Zhao in order to attack the hinterland of Chu with all his might. But Lin Xiangru's heroic and fearless image can be regarded as taking root in Mingyue's heart.
Therefore, when he came to this era, at first glance, Lin Xiang, who was gentle and elegant in the court and soft-spoken with people, could not be regarded as one person for a while with the wide-eyed warrior in the text who threatened the King of Qin with a bronze rope.
While he was thinking wildly, Lin Xiangru came out......
Compared with the first time I saw him half a year ago, Lin Xiangru has lost a little weight, perhaps because of his humble background, his skin is much darker than that of the pampered nobles since childhood, his cheekbones are protruding, and his beard and hairline are black mixed with some white silks, after all, he is over fifty years old.
In this way, he is far from the image of a fearless warrior in the books, when he was so sharp that he could stand out at any time, stabbing his opponents to retreat again and again. But now he has been polished round and smooth by the years and heavy government and state affairs, and he is no longer as brave as he was back then.
Mingyue didn't dare to slack off at all, and respectfully greeted Lin Xiangru: "The kid has seen Lin Qing, and he came to visit late at night, and he bothered ......."
……
Mingyue was looking at Lin Xiangru, and Lin Xiangru was also looking at him carefully.
As rumored in the market, Chang'anjun is a handsome son, handsome appearance, decent etiquette, and in a trance, Lin Xiangru always feels that Chang'anjun still has some of the appearance and behavior of the former king - of course, maybe he is also like the first king, seemingly elegant and humble, but in fact he is thoughtful......
This is not a pejorative meaning, in fact, in Lin Xiangru's view, what Zhao Guo needs is a smart ruler, so that the big ship of Zhao State will not sail into the whirlpool and go against the current.
It's a pity, he is only the second son, and the inheritance of the royal family is so unfair, more often, it is not the merits of the virtuous and the young, but whether their mother is a wife, whether she was born a year and a half early.
Therefore, in Lin Xiangru's eyes, the fate of Chang'an Jun as a minister is already doomed, but his future direction is not known.
So Lin Xiangru said: "Before and after the quality of the son, although the old minister has met with the son many times, but it is the first time that he is three steps apart like this, looking at each other, right?" ”
"That's right, it's the first time, the kid has always admired Lin Qing and wants to come to the door to ask for advice, but he always has no chance." Mingyue praised Lin Xiangru unsparingly, not only out of sincerity, but also because she asked for others.
Lin Xiangru just smiled faintly: "Why did that son come here tonight?" ”
"So that Lin Qing knows that this is how it ......"
So Mingyue said the matter of the Gong Yin Bureau, and after finishing speaking, he looked at Lin Xiangru eagerly and said: "Pingyang Jun is stubborn, unwilling to change the old system, and ordered me not to build a new car, the kid heard that Lin Qing, as an internal history, is in charge of finance, and has the right to ask about this matter, so I want to ask Lin Qing to come forward and persuade Pingyang Jun to add another good government to my Zhao State, and also save the consumption of grain......"
Lin Xiangru's face remained unchanged, and after listening to Mingyue's words carefully, he was silent, but in his heart, he was shaking his head and sighing.
"Young man, ......"
Lin Xiangru looked at this young man who was full of momentum, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, he could see that Chang Anjun was obviously a little anxious, and he was exactly the same as him who entered the officialdom of Zhao State at the beginning of the year, with edges and corners, full of ideals. He was bent on drastic reform of things that he was not accustomed to and had drawbacks, but he did not care about the feelings of the entire officialdom about it.
Since Chang'anjun returned to Handan, Lin Xiangru has been paying attention to him, in his opinion, Chang'anjun can take the initiative to surrender to King Zhao and move out of the palace, which is the embodiment of knowledge, and then in the eyes of everyone in surprise, he entered the Gongyin Department as the right Gongyin, which is a pragmatic embodiment.
Knowing the situation and being pragmatic is the quality that Lin Xiangru admires the most, and now he is even happier when he sees that Chang'an Jun wants to make a difference - he is not simply looking for an idle position to avoid trouble, but really wants to do something......
The material that can be made, Lin Xiangru was amazed, and there was a little regret in his heart. If he was an ordinary scholar, Lin Xiangru might have helped him, but unfortunately, he was a son, a son who was quite popular and could threaten the king.
Lin Xiangru didn't want to arouse King Zhao's suspicion, and with the mentality that more things are better than less, he didn't want to have too much to do with Chang'anjun now.
Thinking like this, Lin Xiangru stroked his beard and pretended to mutter: "Although Chang'anjun has good intentions, it will indeed be unsettling to change the old rules rashly, after all, it involves transporting military rations to the front line, and if there is a slight mistake, it will cause a big disaster." In addition, although Lao Yu is an internal history, he is not the official of Pingyang Jun, and I am afraid that I will interfere in this matter, I am afraid that I will be suspected of overstepping the bounds...... It's really inappropriate to do that. ”
"Even Lin Qing doesn't want to come forward, can't she understand this?"
Mingyue listened to the officialdom words in Lin Xiangru's mouth, knowing that he was rejecting him, and after a moment of silence, she got up and prepared to leave.
Looking at the loss on Chang'anjun's face, although Lin Xiangru was a little unbearable, there was still a "love heart" for this son that could not be said clearly in his heart.
"Zhuangzi said, straight wood is cut down first, Ganjing is exhausted first, its ranks are not rejected, and outsiders must not be harmed, so as to avoid ...... trouble"
Lin Xiangru felt that this angular young man did not need to make meritorious contributions again and attract the attention of the world. After all, it is impossible for the Queen Mother to live a long life, if he is too sharp, as soon as the Queen Mother goes, the prince will be in power, who can protect him?
So what he needs most is polishing, setbacks, everything can't go too smoothly, it's best to press it for one or two decades, and even go abroad to go around and read the warmth and coldness of people. Thirty or forty years later, when the king dies and the new king ascends the throne, this prince will be the choice of a prime minister......
That's right, in Lin Xiangru's opinion, Chang'anjun's talent is much stronger than Pingyuanjun's.
Mencius said that the heavens will descend on people, and they must first suffer their minds, strain their muscles and bones, starve their bodies and skins, empty their bodies, and act chaotically. Chang Anjun, don't blame me, I let you not succeed, I am protecting you, being a happy son, living safely for twenty or thirty years, and training your mind in order to take power in the future. ”
As for me......
Lin Xiangru thought indifferently: "If you want to hold a grudge, then remember to hate me, this is also the last thing the old minister did to avoid fratricide for the sons and heirs of the previous king." ”
Unexpectedly, just before turning around and leaving, Chang Anjun suddenly turned around: "Before leaving, I still have a word to ask Lin Qing!" ”
What is he going to say? Lin Xiangru bowed his head: "Childe, please speak." ”
But seeing Chang'anjun asked angrily: "I want to ask, the wise man Lin Xiangru, who overcame public opinion and entered Qin alone and returned to Zhao, was at the Mianchi meeting, when his father was humiliated by everyone, he stood up and risked his life to defend the dignity of Zhao and forced the Qin King to play percussion, where is Lin Xiangru, the warrior who fought the Qin Dynasty!?" ”
