Empress Dowager Renxi listened carefully to Lin Yiqing's report, and to Lin Yiqing's surprise, she did not get angry as he imagined, or eagerly asked for a solution, but fell into silence.

Lin Yiqing thought at first that she might think she was alarmist, but Lin Yiqing quickly overturned this idea.

This Empress Dowager Bingguo is not a woman with long hair and short knowledge, she should know the truth about this ancient empire very well!

"For the Chinese New Year, no matter how happy I hear this, I can't make people happy!" Empress Dowager Renxi sighed.

"Minister...... Knowing that it is inappropriate to say this at this time, but when the Queen Mother asked, the minister did not dare to disagree with the truth......" Lin Yiqing pretended to be frightened and knelt down and said.

"It's nothing, I like to hear the truth." Empress Dowager Renxi smiled slightly, "Get up." ”

Lin Yiqing got up in thanks, and the Empress Dowager Renxi walked to the window with her hands behind her back, looked at the bright moon in the fine snow in the night sky outside the window, and said: "You are very good, you are also clever, and you are generally knowledgeable, just like your brother, I am very happy." ”

Hearing that the Empress Dowager Renxi suddenly turned her attention to the deceased Lin Yizhe, Lin Yiqing couldn't help but be stunned.

"Lin Wenxiang is a person who can do great things, but it's a pity that he went too early...... Empress Dowager Renxi turned her head to look at Lin Yiqing, "Lin Hanpeng, you led the Satsuma army and civilians to return, broke Russia in chaos, and made immortal contributions to the great cadres, and you have the talent to go through the heavens and the earth, but the reward given to you by the imperial court is not worthy of your great achievements, do you know the reason for this?" ”

"The minister has no heart to reward the court, and please ask the queen mother to see it!" Lin Yiqing was about to kneel down again, but the Empress Dowager Renxi stopped him.

"The thickness of the reward. I know it myself. You don't have to say much about this. Empress Dowager Renxi smiled. "I'm asking you, do you know why?" ”

"This ...... The minister ...... stupidly" Lin Yiqing once again showed a panicked expression, but in his heart, he had actually guessed the answer.

"Lin Wenxiang is doing things very well, but it's a pity that he is forging ahead and offends too many people." Empress Dowager Renxi sighed regretfully, "I have warned him a few times. also helped him block a lot of open guns and arrows, but unfortunately, he couldn't turn back at that time, and the result was ......"

"Lin Hanpeng, you are a person who wants to do great things, but to do great things, you must first have a premise, that is, you must live first and save your life." Empress Dowager Renxi said, her gaze becoming sharper. "If you can't even save your own life, what can you talk about doing big things?"

"Just say me. Back then, the Great Rebel Chengwei wanted my life more than once, and almost let him succeed once or twice, but I survived in the end...... Lin Hanpeng, I'm just a powerless woman, I can't compare to your brave Chinese and Western skills, and take the head of the general in the battle array, you are a person who has waded through blood and water, so you naturally understand the truth of saving your life, do you need me to say more? ”

"The words of the Queen Mother are rare! Got it! Thank you for the Empress Dowager's great kindness! Lin Yiqing knelt down and thanked him.

This time, the Empress Dowager Renxi did not let him get up immediately.

"Lin Hanpeng, the reason why the imperial court only gave you the title and did not give you a real position is precisely for this reason, because we sisters, we don't want you to be trapped by all kinds of open guns and hidden arrows all day long like your brother Lin Wenxiang." Empress Dowager Renxi stared at Lin Yiqing tightly, "Do you understand our sisters' hard work?" ”

"The minister understands that the queen mother is working hard! Thank you for the grace of the Queen Mother's protection! Lin Yiqing kowtowed.

"I don't think you really get it." Empress Dowager Renxi said again, still staring at Lin Yiqing's reaction.

"Foolishness! Please also ask the Queen Mother to make it clear! Lin Yiqing had already guessed what the Empress Dowager Renxi was going to say next, but he still maintained a panicked appearance and kowtowed again and again.

"What's going on with that woman from the Heaven and Earth Society you saved?" Empress Dowager Renxi snorted, "I heard that she is still the county lord of Qianshu?" ”

"Back to the words of the Queen Mother! When the minister met this woman, this woman was being chased by the Heaven and Earth Society, and the minister saved her, but only afterwards did he know that this woman was a remnant of the former family. Lin Yiqing knew that Zhu Xueyan's matter had reached the ears of the Empress Dowager Renxi, and she would inevitably ask this question when she met her, because she had prepared in advance, but the Empress Dowager Renxi asked so quickly, and he was still a little caught off guard.

"Lin Hanpeng! Do you know how many people want to find fault with you, and they are worried that they can't find the reason, but you can send it to the door by yourself! Do you know that this news is about to spread, and how many guns and arrows are waiting for you? Empress Dowager Renxi sighed, "I originally thought that someone might have made it up to make up this matter, and I deliberately wanted to trouble you, but I didn't expect it to come out of your mouth today, and it turned out to be true!" Alas! Why are you so confused! ”

"Please also ask the Queen Mother to save the ministers!" Lin Yiqing said in a panic, but he snickered in his heart, he knew that he was going to make a deal with the queen mother again.

"Save you? How can you let me save you? Empress Dowager Renxi sat down a little annoyed and looked at Lin Yiqing who was prostrate on the ground.

"The Queen Mother is wise and wise! If you want to save the minister, you naturally don't waste your efforts! Lin Yiqing felt that the play was enough, and his legs were a little uncomfortable, so he gradually turned back to his normal tone.

"I'm just a woman, I don't have any knowledge, it's just that the emperor is young, and for the time being, I'm just taking care of this big country with the infamy of 'Ji Si Chen', where do I have such a big ability?" Empress Dowager Renxi also noticed Lin Yiqing's changes, smiled slightly, and said, "This woman is a remnant of the previous sins, and she is a party of anti-thieves in the Heaven and Earth Society, why should I save her?" ”

"Back to the Queen Mother's words, the minister thinks that the Queen Mother saves this woman, and there are three benefits, if the Queen Mother can save her, not only the ministers are grateful, but the Queen Mother herself also has great benefits." Lin Yiqing bowed and said.

"Oh? Then tell me, what are the three benefits? I have never crossed paths with this woman, how can I have a great law to save her? Empress Dowager Renxi said in surprise.

"Back to the Queen Mother, Emperor Shizu had issued an edict in the past to treat the former royal family well, carved an inscription on the stone, and told the world that the Queen Mother saved her, conformed to the ancestral words, showed the faith of the court, and blocked the mouth of the traitorous party to make chaos, which is also beneficial; This woman was originally the leader of the Heaven and Earth Society, known for her prestige, and learned that there were many secrets of the anti-party, and now she was hunted down by the anti-party because of her unfavorable affairs, so she could take advantage of this opportunity. Divide the opposition party and destroy it with Xu Tu. This is also a good thing; As for the third......" Lin Yiqing raised his head. met the eyes of the Empress Dowager Renxi, "The Empress Dowager saved her, and the benefits she gained were real ......"

Seeing that Lin Yiqing's smile at this time became a little philistine, and it was a little similar to Li Jintai, the Empress Dowager Renxi couldn't help but feel a little funny.

"What real benefit? Tell me about it? ”

"The queen mother made a move, and naturally millions of gold and silver rolled in." Lin Yiqing replied. "The minister learned from this woman that the rebel party had stored gold and silver in the mountains and wilderness, amounting to millions, in case he made a rebellion, and where the gold and silver were hidden, this woman had clues in her hands, if the queen mother saved this woman, this woman was grateful to the emperor, and there was no way to repay it, and the minister said that she found the gold hidden by the rebel party and dedicated it to the queen mother. I thought it was an internal debt, but I don't know what the Queen Mother wanted? ”

"You're doing business with me. Lin Hanpeng. Empress Dowager Renxi laughed, "Did you have this in mind, huh?" ”

"The Empress Dowager Shengming!" Lin Yiqing bowed down again, and didn't explain too much.

He believed that with the wisdom of Empress Dowager Renxi, she would make the right choice.

Zhu Xueyan, Zhu Xueyan, Lao Tzu has kowtowed for you, how many kowtows have you done at this time, do you know?

"Lin Hanpeng, this woman's appearance is just afraid that she is very standard, right? How are you like these two ladies? Empress Dowager Renxi did not answer Lin Yiqing, but asked quietly and rhetorically.

"Back to the Queen Mother's words, this woman ...... It's really quite beautiful. Lin Yiqing remembered the moments when she warmed Zhu Xueyan in the past few days, and her heart beat a little faster.

"I think too, if you were an ugly monster and didn't deserve you, you wouldn't have put so much thought into it!" Empress Dowager Renxi snorted, "I didn't expect you to be the same as your brother Lin Wenxiang, and you are also an amorous lover!" ”

"Back to the words of the Queen Mother, the "Book of Songs" has clouds: 'My Fair Lady, the gentleman is good', "Mencius" has clouds: 'Eating and drinking', and Confucius's "Book of Rites" has another cloud: 'Eating and drinking men and women, people's great desires exist', what the ministers want, that's all, and I hope that the Queen Mother will be fulfilled." Lin Yiqing kowtowed again.

"Since ancient times, heroes have been sad to pass the beauty pass, and you Lin Hanpeng is really a hero." Empress Dowager Renxi laughed, "Get up!" ”

Lin Yiqing hurriedly thanked him and got up, he knelt for a while, although it was not for a long time, his knees were still uncomfortable, and he couldn't help but secretly swear in his heart that if he had the opportunity in the future, he would definitely abolish this extremely annoying kneeling ceremony.
