Chapter Seventy-One: This Daddy Doesn't Recognize It
The holy decree is clearly written and clearly written, and the word 'Lin Yi' is clearly behind the eldest son, which is not at all the same as the name of his eldest son. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
"Is it a clerical error on the emperor? Isn't our son called Lin Yi? Madame looked at Lin Yongkang and said with a puzzled face.
Lin Yongkang had a solemn look on his face, staring blankly at the name on the holy decree, speechless for a long time.
"Sir! Are you talking? Madame said anxiously.
Lin Yongkang let out a long sigh and said, "Madam, the emperor did not make a mistake, this Lin Yi is indeed my eldest son, and he is the name of which son I left in my hometown!" ”
Madame stumbled a few steps as if struck by lightning, and said in a trembling voice: "Master! Which do you mean...... Which one...... Wild children? Isn't he a monk? Why is it popping up again now? Could it be ...... Is he still vulgar? ”
Lin Yongkang nodded and said, "It must be like this, but why did he alarm the emperor, but he asked the emperor to name and name him, and he became a student?" Suddenly remembered that when Gonggong Hu was leaving, he stuffed a secret letter to himself, and hurriedly opened it to read.
I saw that the secret letter wrote: "Lin Aiqing, I am very angry, you have such a talented son, but why don't you ask him to recognize his ancestors and return to his ancestors, and protect my country?" You have committed the heinous crime of deceiving the king by stopping your wife and remarrying, I hope you will realize your lost path and repent as soon as possible, and you will not be wrong again! Also, tomorrow I want to see Lin Yi go to Taixue to study, you can't miss the idea again! The tone was very stern, with a hint of threat.
This crime of deception has always been a major crime in ancient society, and it is a crime to kill the head. If the Holy One commits the crime of deceiving the king on the grounds that he has stopped his wife and remarried, there is all the human and material evidence, and he should have nothing to deny. Lin Yongkang was immediately frightened and pale, broke out in a cold sweat, and said worriedly: "This emperor too, I don't even know where Lin Yi is, but how can I tell him to go to Taixue to study tomorrow?" ”
Mrs. thought for a while and said with a smile: "If you can't find it, don't look for it, just ask our eldest son to impersonate and enter Taixue to study!" ”
Lin Yongkang glanced at her fiercely and scolded: "Confused! Designated by the emperor's personal decree, you dare to make trouble, don't you want to live? Now it's important to hurry up and find Lin Yi. ”
The lady said angrily: "I know that you still feel sorry for the wild child you gave birth to with a country girl?" You can take them back and be the masters of the house! I...... Our mother and son moved out to make room for them. As he spoke, he cried and ran back to the back house.
Lin Yongkang glanced at his wife's back in annoyance, turned around and called the housekeeper Ah Fu, and asked, "Tell me, where did Master Ben go to find which of my sons?" ”
Ah Fu pondered and said, "Master! But where the monk is still vulgar, the household department has a record, if you go to check, you will definitely be able to find it, if there is really no way, you have to enter the palace to ask for the address of the eldest son! ”
Lin Yongkang shrugged helplessly and said, "That's it, you accompany me to go to the household department and look for it!" After that, he hurriedly took a sedan chair, took a few henchmen, and hurriedly walked to the household.
He is the secretary of the ministry, how dare the officials of the household department be lazy, and hurriedly organized manpower to conduct a thorough investigation, and soon found the date of Lin Yi's return by category, but he was only in the capital, but he did not find out.
Such a big man, if he wants to find his son's address in the capital, even if he works overtime, he has to find a way to find out, and the household department organizes people to investigate in detail on the ground in the capital, but where can he find it for a while? Lin Yongkang was anxious, and ordered his family to take his name sticker and go to the Kaifeng Mansion to beg Bao Gang, the prefect of Kaifeng, to help him inquire.
After a while, the family happily ran back and said, "Master! Find where the eldest prince lives! ”
Lin Yongkang hurriedly asked, "Where does he live and how did he find it?" ”
The family said happily: "I showed the master's post to Mr. Bao, and Mr. Bao saw it and said: 'He happened to know a small official who had just entered Beijing from other places, his name was Lin Yi, and he checked his age, and the address where he bought a house in the capital was exactly the same as what the master said, and there would be no mistake, so I hurried back to report the news!' ”
Lin Yongkang scolded: "This evil animal, it's easy for me to find Lao Tzu?" Then he asked, "Where does he live now?" ”
The family replied: "The eldest prince now runs a newspaper, which is the famous Bianjing Daily in the capital, and if you go to the newspaper to find him, you will definitely be able to find him." ”
Lin Yongkang said happily: "How much ability does this little animal have? After thinking for a while, he said, "Tell him to come to the old man's mansion to see me immediately!" After that, he thanked the officials of the household department with a smile, got on the sedan chair and went home.
The family walked to Lin Yi's newspaper hall as soon as they slipped away, relying on the fact that they were a family member in the Shangshu Mansion of the Ministry of Officials, and walked in with a high spirit, and asked to see Lin Yi by name.
At this time, it was almost dark, and Lin Yi was tired from a busy day, and was about to wash up and sleep, when he saw Archie leading the family in.
The family saluted Lin Yi slightly, then tilted their heads and said loudly, "You are Lin Yi!" Our lord told you to go to the mansion to see him immediately? He looked very arrogant.
Lin Yi couldn't figure out which god wanted to see him, so he hurriedly asked with a smile: "This little brother, who is your master, and where is the mansion?" ”
The family said complacently: "My lord is your father Lin Yongkang, and he told you to go to his house immediately?" Son, follow me now! ”
Lin Yongkang? Lin Yi's eyebrows immediately screwed together, this cheap dad finally came to the door? Wouldn't it be terrible if he found out that he was a fake? Besides, how comfortable are we to be free and comfortable by ourselves now? What if you find a cheap dad to point fingers at your head? I have to kowtow to him every day and be reprimanded by him! Do you have to fight with his wife and children who are worried about sharing his property? Isn't it self-inflicted? This daddy can't admit anything! Thinking of this, Lin Yi smiled and said: "This little brother, you have found the wrong person, I have no father and mother since I became a monk, please reply to him, I am living a good life, don't come to me again, disturb my peaceful life!" ”
The family pointed at him and said, "Do you dare not listen to my master's words?" Aren't you afraid of his wrath? ”
Lin Yi snorted and sneered, and said, "There is a word of reason in this world? Lin Yongkang has long lost my son, and I will no longer recognize him as a father, please go back to this little brother! With that, he grimaced and told Archie to send the family out.
The family was helpless, after all, Lin Yi was Lin Yongkang's eldest son, and he didn't dare to lose his temper in person, so he had to walk back to the house dejectedly and report to Lin Yongkang.
Lin Yongkang said with a smile: "This kid also has a bit of backbone, others have a father who is a big official, so I can't wait to recognize it?" But he didn't admit it? Good! For the sake of the emperor's order, I will take a trip myself. Later, find an opportunity to punish him again! After that, he instructed his subordinates to prepare carriages and horses, took more than a dozen family members, and walked towards Lin Yi's mansion again.
When he arrived outside the gate of Lin Yi's house, it was already dark, Lin Yongkang got out of the car, ordered his family to come forward and knock on the door, and knocked for a while before the door opened from the inside, and an old servant showed a face through the crack in the door.
Lin Yongkang was unhappy in his heart, let out a heavy breath, and said: "Tell Lin Yi which little animal comes out to see me, just say that his father is here, and come to greet him immediately!" ”
The old servant agreed, retracted his head, slammed the door shut, and then fell silent. Knock on the door again, and you shouldn't even be inside.
Lin Yongkang couldn't help but feel angry in his heart, and thought secretly: "This animal is really rude!" It's been so long, and I haven't seen him open the door to greet him. It must have been his family who told him that I was coming, and he told his family to deliberately not open the door for me? Lao Tzu didn't even feel so sad when he entered the palace gate! How unreasonable! The more I thought about it, the more angry I became, and I couldn't help but raise my leg and kick the door hard, and scolded loudly: "Little beast, open the door quickly, if you don't open it again, Lao Tzu will ask someone to tear down your door!" "After scolding, it's two heavy feet again!
Sure enough, a few words of scolding had an effect, the door creaked open from the inside, and Lin Yi stood in front of the door with Archie and the pillar with a smile.
Lin Yongkang looked at Lin Yi carefully, and saw that he was handsome and chic, and he had a bookish air on his body, which was more durable than his two sons, and suddenly felt a little fond of it, and thought that he had ignored him for more than 20 years, and he was indeed a little sorry for him, so he dispelled seven or eight points of anger, and said coldly: "Evil animal, I am your father, don't kneel down quickly!" "The official posture on his body is full, and he shows all the majesty on weekdays.
No way! This is the momentum that oppresses me! If I kneel and kowtow to you today, won't I have to kneel for you for the rest of my life? We don't want to find ourselves a cheap ancestor and provide for it all day long. Besides, once you admit this family, he can use the Three Principles and Five Constants to restrain you and suppress you with the crime of unfilial piety? Therefore, today I must adhere to my principles and not recognize this family business. Lin Yi made up his mind, and said with a smile: "This master, you must admit that you are wrong, I, Lin Yi, have no father, from the day he sent him to Buddhism, I am an orphan without a father and a mother?" Today, I have returned to the vulgar, and I have decided to stand on my own, never recognize my ancestors and return to my ancestors, and please don't let this old man confess his relatives indiscriminately! ”
Lin Yongkang pondered, this must be because Lin Yi was still blaming him for not taking care of him for 20 years. Thinking about it carefully, this kind of thing, anyone will be angry in their hearts, considering the will of the saint today, if he can't let Lin Yi enter Taixue tomorrow, he will definitely be punished by the emperor, so he put on a smiling face, softened his tone, and said: "Yi'er! Is it because my father is wrong, shouldn't I have ignored you all these years? So the father wants to compensate you and let you live a good life, these days, running for the father in many ways, has won you a ...... to learn to study"
Before he finished speaking, he heard Lin Yi sneer: "I don't need you to compensate, I will go my own way, and do my own things, so I don't need you to pretend here!" Let's go! I won't recognize you as a daddy, and I don't welcome you back! ”
"You ......" Lin Yongkang was stunned for a while, when he met such a stubborn son, he didn't have a good way to persuade his son to change his mind. Temptation of interests, sons are not rare! With the threat of force, the young man in his twenties, who is just in his blood, has a big quarrel with himself for a while, and spreads it, isn't it a joke? When he was thinking about it, he saw Lin Yi step back and said sharply: "Close the door for me, don't open the door if you knock again, if you dare to tear the door, give me a big stick and beat it out!" ”
"Little beast! I don't believe that you really dare to be disobedient and unfilial and hurt your father! Come on, knock on the door for me, if you don't open it, it'll be broken! Lin Yongkang's heart was furious, and he commanded his family loudly.
Immediately, six or seven family members rushed forward and slammed the door fiercely, while Lin Yongkang took six or seven steps back and looked angrily.
"Boom!" With a bang, the door was finally slammed open, and before any family broke into the house, it was Lin Yi and two family members, each holding a big stick, roaring and coming out of the door, and the family members who were scared of the door ran away, and Lin Yongkang also staggered away more than a dozen steps away.
"Old thief! If you dare to come to the door again, the master will beat you to death! Lin Yi roared with red eyes, waved a stick and hit the stone statue of the little lion in the town house at the gate of the house, only to hear the "bang", the little lion was broken into more than a dozen pieces and scattered on the ground.
Damn! When did we have such a big hand? Lin Yi was stunned! I didn't come back to my senses for a long time.
Lin Yongkang's face changed miserably, he shook the sleeves of his robe, climbed into the carriage in a panic, and led his family away in embarrassment.
