Although they are both Lin Yiqing's wives, He Yunqing was born in the Hanlin family, and it is the main room, Lin Yiqing was awarded the title of first-class baron, so he automatically had a title, and the status of the two of them was a layer worse, and now the queen mother wants to give them a title, which not only improves their status, but also adds glory to their respective families.

But when Lin Yiqing heard the two queen mothers' rewards for his two Japanese ladies, he couldn't help but chuckle in his heart, although he didn't show anything on the surface.

"By the way, Lin Hanpeng, do you have any heirs now?" Sure enough, as Lin Yiqing expected, after the Empress Dowager Renxi sat down again, she seemed to ask casually.

"Back to the queen mother, the minister has a son and a daughter, the eldest daughter is the minister's wife He Yunqing was born in the fifth year of Guangxu, named Lin Yutong, and the son Lin Bailiang was born to the concubine Tongye Qiansui this year." Lin Yiqing replied.

"Ouch, it's nice to have two children! Why don't you bring it into the garden and show it to our sisters! Empress Dowager Renxi said happily, "Hurry up, hurry up!" ”

"Obey the order!" Lin Yiqing's heart sank, but he still acted extremely calm when he answered.

At about the same time, in the upper study of the Forbidden City, Emperor Guangxu Chengtian, who was in class, was not in his mind at this time, but seemed restless.

"Your Majesty, but ...... What's uncomfortable? Weng Shuping, who was teaching, noticed Emperor Guangxu's strange appearance and asked with concern.

"Hmm...... It's nothing, Master Weng, I'm just a little tired. The emperor, who was still a child, didn't want his teacher to find out what was on his mind, so he answered vaguely.

He was waiting in Baba, and his mother ordered him to allow him to meet Lin Yiqing.

"It's not too early. If the emperor is tired. Let's take a nap. Weng Shuping saw the appearance of the little emperor. Knowing that he didn't have the heart to study now, he followed him.

Xiao Chengtian put down the book in his hand and sighed boredly.

According to the rules of the Bo royal family, even during recess, the things that the princes talk about must be related to the content of today's reading, but he really doesn't want to listen to these dull and boring content today.

Seeing that the little emperor's interest in learning was becoming less and less indifferent, Weng Shuping couldn't help but sigh secretly in his heart.

Familiarize yourself with history books. Weng Shuping, who is well versed in the theory of the rise and fall of dynasties, knows that there is a cyclical phenomenon of the rise and fall of dynasties in the history of Middle-earth, and a dynasty will decline and die after decades or hundreds of years. There are many reasons for this phenomenon, but an important reason is that the quality of the emperor is not as good as that of the next generation. The founding emperors were all "competitive posts", the winners of the competition reached the pinnacle of power, and the losers died without a place to be buried, so the founding emperors were all eloquent. But the emperors of later generations grew up in the deep palace. was raised by eunuchs and palace maids, and even his personality was not sound. How can we talk about governing the country and leveling the world?

The emperor of any dynasty wants his power to last for generations to come, and racks his brains for this. Since the founding of the Daqian Dynasty, special attention has been paid to the education of the princes, and its severity is unprecedented. The prince went into the study at four or five o'clock every day to review his homework, and at six or seven o'clock the master came and began to attend classes, and in the afternoon he learned Bo language and riding and archery, and it did not end until sunset.

But now, since Chengtian is already the emperor, the intensity of his education is lower than that of the prince, but it is far heavier than the burden of elementary school students in private schools. For example, throughout the year, in addition to the birthday of the Queen Mother of the Two Palaces, the birthday of the little emperor, the Dragon Boat Festival, the Mid-Autumn Festival, the Spring Festival, etc., there is a one-day holiday, and then there is a five-day holiday for the New Year, and there is no concept of winter vacation and summer vacation at all. Xiao Chengtian has to greet the queen mother of the two palaces every day, accompany the queen mother of the two palaces to listen to the government, and spend the rest of the time in the study, learning content in addition to Confucian classics, Chinese poetry, as well as Bo language, riding, etc., and, after all, Chengtian is already the king of a country with the respect of ten thousand times, and his enthusiasm for learning cannot be as high as that of the prince.

Xiao Chengtian's interest in learning is not high, and his physique is weak, so it is difficult for him to undertake heavy learning tasks. Especially different from the past, after all, the number of princes in education is larger, everyone learns together, there is a competitive atmosphere, and now there is a master, a student, and a group of eunuchs in the classroom standing on the side to watch, and after a long time, Chengtian's enthusiasm for learning is even lower. It is said that Xiao Chengtian can find some royal children to "read", but now there is no suitable age companion in the nearby royal family, so Weng Shuping can only teach it hard.

In fact, Weng Shuping had foreseen this, and he was very troubled when he served as the education of Emperor Tongzhi before. Back then, Emperor Tongzhi was tired of studying, and he was able to make his master Li Gaoyang cry, which was also seen by Weng Shuping with his own eyes. Therefore, when he learned that he was appointed as the emperor's master, he initially repeatedly resigned, but the Empress Dowager of the Two Palaces and Prince Jing Yixin took a firm position and asked him to take up this heavy burden, and Renxi said that as a parent, he would definitely fully cooperate with the master's education. Weng Shuping couldn't refuse, so he took over very reluctantly.

And what made him feel relieved was that Chengtian was much more obedient than the late Tongzhi Emperor Chengchun.

But today's performance of Chengtian is an exception.

Early in the morning, Weng Shuping came to the study and asked Xiao Chengtian to recite the texts he had learned the day before, but Xiao Chengtian memorized a few sentences, and he couldn't memorize them anymore. After reciting it fifty times, Xiao Chengtian finally memorized the text, but he didn't talk much about the new lesson, and he said that he was tired and asked him to take a break, but he was stunned here again.

"Master Weng, you say, why didn't the Queen Mother let me meet with the ministers?" Weng Shuping was pondering how to teach the emperor to read, but unexpectedly, the little emperor suddenly asked him such a question.

"The emperor is young now, and it is not yet time for him to be in power." Weng Shuping was stunned for a moment, and then immediately replied, "The emperor studies hard, and when he is in power, he can meet with Chinese and foreign ministers." ”

"Oh......" A hint of disappointment flashed in Chengtian's eyes, "Then when will I be able to pro-government?" ”

"The emperor has succeeded in his studies, and when he reaches the age of marriage, he can marry the queen, and he can govern himself." Weng Shuping replied.

"Actually, if you are pro-government, you will be very tired...... I saw that although the two queen mothers lived in the garden, they could not cultivate at all, especially the queen mother. All day's work...... Do you still want to meet that person named Lin Yiqing today? Chengtian muttered to himself.

Uncle Weng understood where the little emperor's mind was. Anger in the heart. was about to slander Lin Yiqing, but when he thought about it, he thought that the Queen Mother was summoning Lin Yiqing in Qingqiyuan at this time, and it seemed inappropriate for him to speak ill of him at this time, so he stopped the conversation vividly.

"Today is the day when the Queen Mother receives this person," Uncle Weng Pingrao said, and he didn't want to mention Lin Yiqing's name, "I can't wait for the Queen Mother to let the emperor meet this person." A long insight. He spoke with contempt, as if Lin Yiqing was not a human being, but something new.

As soon as Weng Shuping's words fell, several eunuchs hurried over.

"Your Majesty, the servants are instructed by the Empress Dowager to invite the Emperor to Qichun Garden to meet Baron Lin." The eunuch who delivered the decree said respectfully.

"Okay, I'll get over here. Come on, change your clothes. The little emperor's heart was full of joy for a while, and the tone of his speech changed. Weng Shuping on the side was angry and stuffed his chest, but he couldn't have a seizure again. The old face was flushed.

"Master Weng, what's wrong with you? Is there any discomfort in your body? ”

"Oh...... Emperor Xie is worried, the minister has nothing to do, nothing to do......"

※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※

The sun had set, Zhu Xueyan was hiding in the dark, watching people coming and going in and out of the gate of the Beijing Fujian Hall, but there was still no trace of Lin Yiqing, and she couldn't help but feel secretly anxious in her heart.

She had already inquired clearly that Lin Yiqing was going back to the Hokkien Hall to stay after meeting the Queen Mother today.

Although there was a scene where the clear stream intercepted the train, Lin Yiqing did not get off the train, but his subordinates quietly arranged everything in the Hokkien Hall a few days ago, and it was done very secretly, and the outside world had no way of knowing, and those who didn't know would think that he would stay at Xianliang Temple.

But Zhu Xueyan still inquired about where Lin Yiqing's temporary residence in the capital was this time.

Of course, with her own strength, she couldn't do it, and the reason why she was able to inquire so quickly was completely dependent on the manpower of the Heaven and Earth Society in the capital.

Zhu Xueyan came to assassinate Lin Yiqing this time, which was actually equivalent to following the order of the chief helmsman.

After escaping death in Chaotianmen, Zhu Xueyan hated Lin Yiqing to the bone, and wanted to find another opportunity to kill him.

Zhu Xueyan had read a lot of news about Lin Yiqing in the newspaper, and at that time, she was often worried that he had killed the Russians and lost the opportunity to take revenge.

Fortunately, the sky has eyes, and this wicked man did not die, and was driven out of Japan and ran to the capital of Daqian to mix.

And the dog court even rewarded him with a knighthood, saying that it was because of some "righteousness"!

After learning that Lin Yiqing was about to return to China, Zhu Xueyan quietly began preparations for revenge.

But what surprised her this time was that the helmsman of the Heaven and Earth Society actually issued a killing order for Lin Yiqing!

Zhu Xueyan didn't know why the chief helm would give such an order, she knew that the chief helm would never give a killing order because Lin Yiqing killed several of her good brothers, but she understood that this time was her best chance for revenge, and she took the initiative to ask for help, and she also got the approval of the chief helm.

At this moment, around the Hokkien Hall are the heroes of the Heaven and Earth Society.

The two black shadows quietly came to Zhu Xueyan's side.

"Senior sister, the one surnamed Lin, it seems that he is planning to spend the evening in the garden, and he is not going to come back." Lao Wan said.

Zhu Xueyan frowned and did not speak.

"No wonder at noon, someone from the palace took his two puppies away." A young man next to Lao Wan said that his name is Qiu Junwei, although he is young and has a short time to join the club, he is a fast hand, and he is quite favored by the old brothers in the club, so he was recommended to participate in this operation.

"Do you want to tell everyone to leave?" Lao Wan asked again.

"Wait." Zhu Xueyan thought for a moment and said, "There is no rule in the garden to leave a man outside for the night, he will definitely come back." ”

As far as Zhu Xueyan is concerned, this operation is well prepared, the rotation time and personnel deployment of the guards of the Fujian Association are under control, and Lin Yiqing has just come to the capital, thinking that at the feet of the Son of Heaven, no one dares to trouble him, so he will temporarily relax his vigilance...... This gave them an excellent chance to sneak up, and now that something had changed, she didn't want to give up.

"I'm here to stay. You guys go up there and have a look. Is there anyone coming by? Zhu Xueyan commanded.

"Okay." Lao Wan and Qiu Junwei left quietly.

The heroes of the Heaven and Earth Society who were in ambush wore close-fitting leather soft armor. Bring only a sharp knife. Yun Zhongyue, the executioner in the Beijing branch, detected the news that Lin Yiqing was going to stay at the Hokkien Hall before Lin Yiqing's men arrived, and made preparations in advance, which was surprising that the process of their infiltration was smooth. And by the time the convoy of daily necessities arrived at the warehouse and was inspected, the heroes were already lurking in hidden corners, waiting for the arrival of the changing of guards.

The guards of the Hokkien Huay Kuan are all in an even number, and they are never left alone. During the changing of the guard, a few teams of two and four people came and went, but no team of six passed. As if God was bestowing them with good luck, the courtyard was divided into tic-tac-toe characters by a square walkway within the three-story courtyard wall, and the heroes were ambushed in an empty room adjacent to the wing. Just after dusk, the outside is still bright, but the courtyard has been lit with lanterns, and the layers of courtyards are dotted with hazy brilliance, and the center is pitch black, but it is tightly blocked by the walls of the house, and you can't see the slightest exactly. Occasionally, a servant would go to the master's residence with a food box, and there would be laughter among acquaintances. There is a hint of elegance in the tranquility. However, the infiltrator knows that behind this peace is actually murderous. If you are not careful, you will be in a different place. Yun Zhongyue and Qiu Junwei guarded the doors and windows, while Lao Wan discussed the final plan with Kong Changchun in the corner. Kong Changchun simply laid out the layout of the courtyard with broad beans, pointed to the master room in the north and said, "The news says that he should sleep here." ”

"There are no loopholes in their guards, there are more than 20 swordsmen, it looks okay, but ......" Lao Wan narrowed his eyes, "It may not be our opponent, it should be the group of Oriental......s under him who are not easy to deal with."

"Are we still afraid of the Orientals?" Kong Changchun glanced at Lao Wan and sneered.

Lao Wanzheng wanted to warn him not to underestimate the enemy, "Get started!" Yun Zhongyue exhaled the secret words of the heroes, and the idea arrived. Kong Changchun drew a dagger, and the two of them rushed to the door from the corner at the same time.

In the plan that had been set a long time ago, Qiu Junwei only needed to deal with the people at the end of the team. But seeing the guards approaching through the crack in the door, he couldn't help but change the dagger to his left hand and wipe the fine sweat from his palm. Yun Zhongyue's hand landed on his shoulder and shook it with strength. Qiu Junwei raised his head and saw Lao Wan nodding at him encouragingly. In the plan, Lao Wan was responsible for pressing the formation, which means that there was an accident and him. Qiu Junwei's chest suddenly surged with strength, no one regarded him as a burden, his companion's actions revealed absolute trust, he had to be worthy of this trust! In fact, the calm expressions of the heroes have calmed Qiu Junwei down, but the blood is rising one by one. At this moment, Kong Changchun pushed the window and jumped out. Qiu Junwei suddenly didn't think about anything, and rushed to the guards at the end of the team after Yun Zhongyue with a dagger.

Qiu Junwei's knife technique is by no means ambiguous. With a single swipe around the neck, the opponent's throat was slit. At the same time, Yun Zhongyue also killed two guards. Kong Changchun flew out, like a fluttering feather, Qiu Junwei only felt that a gust of wind was blowing, Kong Changchun had swept over his head, and he spun his body to the ground. Faster than he landed were two lifeless bodies. The leader of the guards was more astute than he could have imagined, and as soon as the wind started, he lowered his body, drew his sword, and twisted his body with pure waist strength, and the three movements were connected smoothly. He has absolute confidence to block the opponent's first blow, and then he can send a message calling for reinforcements. Halfway through the turn, he was already looking at his opponent with his peripheral vision, and saw a woman standing in the doorway throw a silver arc of light. There was no other choice but to block it with a knife, but it was suddenly pierced by an unknown force on the arc of light, and the whole person became like a puppet, and then fell.

Seeing Qiu Junwei's hand at Senior Sister Zhu Xueyanlu, he was stunned. He saw with his own eyes that the leader of the Hokkien clan guards tried to get up, but his body suddenly became two and fell to the ground again.

He didn't know that the senior sister had re-practiced a unique skill for this day, and she would never perform it easily, and today was the first time she showed her skills in front of the brothers.

Yun Zhongyue handled the corpse with great skill, and everyone put on the cloth armor of the guards of the Fujian Guild Hall and took the place of the original guards, except for Zhu Xueyan.

She remained hidden in the shadows, staring at the door.

As she expected, a horse-drawn carriage appeared at the door.

Zhu Xueyan saw the door of the carriage open, and Lin Yiqing walked out alone and got out of the carriage.

That's right! It's Lin Yiqing!

At this time, Lin Yiqing was wearing a luxurious brocade robe, a square hat, and a folding fan in his hand, completely dressed as a scribe of the Qianguo Kingdom. After getting out of the carriage, the steward of the Hokkien Association immediately greeted him with a smile, Lin Yiqing nodded to the steward leisurely, shook the folding fan lightly, paced the square steps, and walked towards the gate.

Zhu Xueyan carried a plum blossom pistol (i.e., a revolver) on her body, but at this time, in the face of the enemy, she did not want to use it, but opened the leather bag that had been prepared long ago and took out a round sharp blade inside.
