Chapter 338: The First Ding in the World
"This question, Lord Lin answered correctly, Lord Asler, do you have any objections?" Asil shook his head and admitted defeat, and the little palace maid Cuiyun smiled and said: "Lord Lin answered three questions in a row, and the prince of Goryeo and the Turkic envoys each answered one question correctly, and this last question does not need to be compared, and I know who the winner is." β
"To be compared, to be compared." Lu Dongzan said loudly: "Lord Lin is unparalleled in talent, we all want to see how he solves the four questions of Princess Nishang, this last one, even if it is to convince me." Lord Lin, what do you say? β
As a Turk, this Lu Dongzan has a hearty atmosphere, and if it weren't for the hostility between the two countries, it would be good to make friends with him. Lin Wanrong smiled: "This, Brother Lu, you are a little brother of false praise." I just answered these questions by mistake by the princess, and I couldn't take it seriously. β
"My lord, I beg you to answer the last question as well." The goddess of Xu Gong said gloomily: "Witnessing strange people and strange deeds is what all of us are looking forward to." β
Seeing that so many people were looking at themselves excitedly, it would be impossible not to answer, Lin Wanrong smiled helplessly, looked at Cuiyun and said, "Sister palace maid, then let's ask the last question." β
Cuiyun smiled and said: "This time the princess chooses a son-in-law, the first three questions are all predestined questions, but the last one is the princess's own proposition." And the princess will not ask questions at will, if she is satisfied with the talented son who answered the question correctly, she will ask another question. At present, the princess has not yet sent a decree, and the slave does not know if there will be this fourth question, please wait patiently for a while. β
That's the case, Lin Wanrong suddenly sweated profusely, it turns out that the proposition is not casual, even if you want to answer this strange question, you may not have a chance, you must have the princess to take a fancy to it, and then you will have a face.
There was a whisper in the crowd, if the princess had a problem, it would mean that the princess was satisfied with Lord Lin, and this Lord Lin would definitely become a Dahua colt and double his worth. But will the princess be the problem? What will be the problem? Everyone was waiting for that moment to come.
The Goryeo prince and the Turkic mission had lost their chance, and both sides were frustrated, and out of jealousy, they naturally did not want Lin San to be a colt. Seeing that the curtain hanging on the embroidery floor had not been lifted for a long time, the minds of both sides moved again. If the princess is not satisfied with Lin San, does that mean that we still have a chance?
Time passed minute by minute, Lin Wanrong was originally calm and confident, but with the consumption of time, she couldn't sit still. Is this Qingxuan? If it was really her, she must have known that she had appeared, how could she still sit on the Diaoyutai like this? God, don't play with me!
Everyone waited for a while, but no one came out, so they all thought that Princess Nishang was dissatisfied with Lord Lin, and suddenly sighed, feeling sorry for this emerging Dahuaqi person.
While she was whispering, she suddenly saw the hanging curtain lifted, and a pretty little maid walked out, handed Cuiyun a small note, whispered a few words in her ear, and then turned and retreated.
Cuiyun smiled slightly, and said coquettishly: "Let you wait for a long time, the princess has a problem-"
"Okayβ" Everyone was excited. Finally, Princess Nishang has a discerning eye, where can she find an ancient genius like Lord Lin? If you don't choose him as your son-in-law, who else will come?
Lin Wanrong wiped a cold sweat, this princess is really torturous, and she came to such a hand in the end, if it was really Qingxuan, I would definitely beat her little **.
"Lord Lin, the last question of Princess Nishang is specially designed for you, please listen well." Cuiyun's words whetted everyone's appetite again, and everyone listened attentively to the exam questions set by the princess for Lord Lin, not knowing what kind of strange thing it would be, and Lin Wanrong was naturally no exception.
Cuiyun slowly unfolded the note and read it softly: "May I ask Lord Lin, in the nest of the White Lotus Sect in Dangtu County, you were captured by bandits and rescued by others, who is the person you are the most difficult to forget?" β
What is this title? Hearing this headless sentence, everyone was confused, this was completely different from the battle of wits in the first three questions, but it seemed to be a question set up for him by knowing Lord Lin's past. To say, answering this question is much simpler than fighting intelligence, I think there will be no accidents when Lord Lin comes, and becoming the most beloved little princess of Emperor Dahua is just around the corner.
Lin Wanrong couldn't hide her shock and excitement, jumped up and said loudly: "Qingxuan, Qingxuan, is it you?" β
There was silence on the embroidery floor, and no one answered his questions. At the beginning, he was kidnapped by the White Lotus Sect with the eldest lady in the Xiao family in Jinling, and was rescued by others, and there were very few people who knew that they passed by, who else could be so familiar with themselves and ask such a question, besides Qingxuan? Qingxuan is really the princess of Nishang, damn, I'm developed!
"My lord, have you figured it out?" Cuiyun saw Lord Lin suddenly shouting, so he asked with a smile.
"There are two people who rescued me in times of crisis, and the most memorable of them is naturally Qingxuan-" Lin Wanrong replied confidently.
Everyone listened to the clouds and fog, and there was silence in the embroidery building, and suddenly there was a soft hum with fire: "You think of her so much, then you go to her, don't come to me." Cuiyun, go back to the palace-"
This voice? Lin Wanrong was so shocked that she jumped three feet high, it didn't sound like Qingxuan, how did she feel a little like a fairy?
"Xian'er, Xian'er, is that you?" Lin Wanrong shouted loudly. Standing on the high platform, the little palace maid Cuiyun smiled bitterly, and had withdrawn into the curtain, and there was a sound of footsteps on the embroidery floor, which seemed to be very angry, and the honor guard in front of the princess Feng had begun to move slowly towards the palace gate.
"It's not me, you can find your Qingxuan, hum!" A familiar slender figure came out of the building, got into the sedan chair, and snorted at the same time, full of grievances and sadness.
Lord Lin's head was directly short-circuited. Princess Ni Dress?? Princess Neon Dress!! It turned out to be a baby fairy!! What's going on? No wonder Sister An said that Xian'er was going on a secret mission, and she would definitely give me a big surprise, which was really a big surprise. It's going to be a dead man, and admitting the most unforgettable scene in front of so many people. A word fell into the ears of the little vinegar jar, she was a princess of Dahua at this time, and it would be strange if she didn't get mad.
When he was thinking, Princess Nishang's car had already gone far away, and the sedan chair had already stepped into the palace gate with one foot, Lin Wanrong suddenly woke up, hurriedly pushed it up and said loudly: "Xian'er, Xian'er, don't go!" β
With a loud bang, the huge palace door closed, but it almost hit the nose of Lord Lin who rushed over.
He touched the bridge of his nose stupidly, and hammered the knocker in annoyance, damn, what's going on. In order to find a wife, offend another wife, if you want to say bad luck, who else in this world can compare to me? Xian'er, this girl is also right, it's not appropriate to put a good princess, but she wants to do what kind of celebrity top brand, and she likes to be jealous so much, alas, it's embarrassing.
The situation on the field changed abruptly, and the princess had already come up with a problem, and it was an extremely simple and completely unrelated topic. Why did Lord Lin annoy the princess and make her walk away? I'm afraid that he won't be able to do it, what is called falling short, this is a typical example. Everyone in the audience sighed, only Li Zao, who had been completely dead, and the Turkic envoy were secretly happy in their hearts, since the princess was dissatisfied with Lin Wanrong, then they were not completely without a chance. A scene on the field, it can really be described as a strange peak, and the situation has changed drastically!
saw Lin Wanrong's dejected appearance. The emperor was not worried but happy, and laughed and said: "Today is really interesting, Gao Ping, summon Lin San and the Goryeo and Turkic missions to the palace." β
Lin Wanrong was annoyed for a while, but when she saw Gonggong Gao coming quickly, she said respectfully: "Lord Lin, the emperor has summoned you, come with me!" β
Putting aside the doubts about Xian'er's identity first, he followed Gao Ping to the Golden Palace, only to see that Li Zheng and Asler had already arrived first, Xu Wei smiled at the corner of his eyes, and was nodding slightly to him, looking very satisfied.
Lin Wanrong knows her own family affairs, this time the princess recruited relatives, he put a big oolong, it can be said that it was a failure, Xian'er's little vinegar jar didn't know how to torture herself. This old Xu didn't know the inside story at all, and he thought I had taken a big advantage.
"Today, Princess Nishang recruited relatives, everything has been completed, and the envoys of Goryeo and Turkic are respectful and humble, and it is really high." The Emperor smiled.
Li Cheng hurriedly clenched his fists: "Don't dare, don't dare, the emperor has won the award." This time, it was my Goryeo who was not prepared enough to miss the princess, and I regretted it very much. However, the princess has not yet chosen a colt, and she thinks she still has a chance. β
"Exactly." The Turkic envoy Asler also said: "The princess has not yet chosen a concubine, and my Turk also has a chance." β
"Hahahaha-" The Emperor laughed loudly, "The two envoys are not in the same way. Princess Nishang personally made the assessment, which can be described as fair and just, each of you only answers one question correctly, and there is no chance to participate in the re-assessment, even if the princess has not yet chosen a colt, she will not choose between the two. If everyone is like you, everyone comes to ask for a second chance, then wouldn't it be that my princess Nishang will not get married, and the marriage conference will be held every day? β
Li Cheng and Asler were speechless, as the emperor said, the opportunity is equal, but they themselves didn't grasp it, and they can't complain about others.
"Where is Lin Sanβ" The emperor suddenly shouted majestically.
"The little people are here." Lin Wanrong replied lazily with her fists clenched, her mood obviously not very high.
The emperor smiled and said: "Don't be too concerned about the gains and losses for a while, I look at your performance today, surprise, brave and strategic, and can compete with the two envoys of Goryeo and Turkic, quite the style of a countryman, I am very relieved." β
What "can compete with the two envoys of Goryeo and Turkic"? The emperor said this completely to take care of the face of Li Zheng and Asler, and everyone in the Golden Palace understood.
"Lin San is knowledgeable and talented, and he has won honor for my Dahua, which is what we have seen in person. Previously, he commanded the troops for Xu Wei in Shandong, personally captured the White Lotus anti-king Lu Kanli, bombarded the White Lotus Holy Mother, and captured Jining City, which can be described as a great feat. Where is Ye Shuqing, the secretary of the ministry? The emperor said loudly like a bell.
"Wechen is here!" An old man with a red face hurriedly stepped out of the column.
"Ye Aiqing, you are in charge of the ministry, then help me see, are there any vacancies recently? Lin San is a person who is a scholar of my Dahua Chinese Studies, and he must use it well. The Emperor smiled.
King Cheng's eyes flashed, and he glanced at Ye Shuqing, and Ye Shuqing understood. hurriedly clenched his fists and said: "Your Majesty, the current officials placed in the ministry are close to full, but there are still idle posts in various places. β
The emperor laughed twice and said: "He came from Jinling, and he commanded the army in Shandong, and he also came from the locality, what are you letting him go back to the locality?" Oh, by the way, I remembered, the former servant of the Ministry of Officials Tong Yuan told his hometown to return to his hometown, and there is still a position in the Ministry to fill the vacancy - Lin San, I will promote you to the bachelor of Wenhua Pavilion, and the title of deputy waiter of the Ministry of Officials. Would you like to? β
"Your Majesty-" Ye Shuqing was shocked: "The duties of the officials are important, and the squire is a direct assistant to the ministers." Although Lord Lin is erudite and talented, he is still young, and he has never had the experience of being an official, and even Master Su Mubai, a bachelor of Wenyuan Pavilion and a new champion, has not yet entered the ministry examination. If you promote Lord Lin too high, I am afraid that it will cause complaints! Please think twice! β
This Lord Ye Shangshu didn't know whether it was intentional or unintentional, but he actually mentioned Su Zhuangyuan, and took Su Mubai as an example to prevent the emperor from promoting Lin San. Although Su Zhuangyuan is a bachelor of Wenyuan Pavilion, he is only a fictitious position, and he has not yet entered the sixth department, seeing that the emperor values Lin San so much, his face turned pale, and he lowered his head in a hurry, and did not say a word.
"There are always exceptions. Lin San's merits have also been said, just ask the court, who else can deny it? Su Mubai won the top prize with his true talent, and I promoted him to Wenyuan Pavilion. Lin San subdued Goryeo and the Turks, but it was not a fake ability, and the promotion to the Wenhua Hall was the return of all the capitals, not to mention that he had made great achievements in Shandong, and he made great contributions, leading a deputy servant of the ministry, who has complaints? As for saying that he is young, all Aiqing, have you forgotten that when the emperor was alive, Brother Cheng Wang led the ministry in his early twenties, so why not? The emperor's eyes flashed, but the words he said were like a heavy hammer, and the memory was knocked on the hearts of the people.
King Cheng is the nobleman of the sky, the son of the dragon and the grandson of the dragon, and he is in his twenties, and no one dares to say a word. But now that the emperor is comparing Lin San with Prince Cheng, what does this mean? Don't forget, Lin San is still selling himself to the Xiao family to be a little family, how can he be qualified to compare with Prince Cheng.
"Mr. Xu, what is this servant for?" Seeing that Ye Shuqing's face was pale and he looked like he was going to die, Lin Wanrong grabbed Xu Wei and asked softly.
"The Ministry of Officials, in charge of the assessment, promotion and dispatch of hundreds of officials in the world, is the top priority of the imperial court. The servant of the ministry assists Shangshu, the official is not small, and the power is not small, the former servant of the ministry Tong Yuan told the old man to return to his hometown, although you are a deputy waiter, but you have received a regular position, Brother Lin, you have ascended to the sky in one step. Xu Wei said with a light smile.
Understood, this is equivalent to the deputy director of the Personnel Department, the real power unit, I didn't expect the emperor to seal such a big red envelope to me at once, alas, whether to accept it or not?
"A small deputy attendant of the ministry, why did he make this Lord Ye look like a dead mother, and even his complexion changed?" Lin Wanrong continued.
This Little Brother Lin still lacks understanding of officialdom, Xu Weiqiang couldn't help but smile and said: "Little Brother Lin, although there is a three-level gap between you and Lord Ye in rank, in fact, there is only one layer apart. You were personally promoted by the emperor, the emperor's grace is as vast as the sky, maybe one day you will directly replace Lord Ye, how can Lord Ye not consider his position? There is another point that is more important, this ministry has always been a close confidant of Prince Cheng, and today the emperor forcibly inserted you into it. Think about it, how would you feel if someone stuck a nail in the middle of your heart? β
Khan, it turns out that there are so many doorways in the middle, the emperor wants me to be his pawn in the fight with King Cheng, damn, can I be so stupid?
Ye Shuqing was still waiting to say more, the emperor's face changed, and he snorted: "I have made up my mind, Ye Qing don't say anything more." Come, the willβ"
"Wait, wait." Lin Wanrong came out with a smile, hugged her fists and said, "Your Majesty, thank you for your love." But Xiaomin also thinks that what this Lord Ye said makes sense, I am just a small member of the Xiao family, and I don't know anything about state affairs and politics, and the emperor values me so much, which really makes Xiaomin embarrassed. I have a very good and happy life in the Xiao family, please let the emperor allow me to return to the Xiao family and be a happy little family, and I will be satisfied. β
Xu Wei rolled his eyes, this kid is not stupid to fight wits with others, and he doesn't do it with the deputy waiter of the ministry, but wants to go back to the Xiao family to be a housekeeper, and the eldest lady of the Xiao family doesn't know what ** soup she poured him.
"Lord Lin is high-spirited and bright, he has the style of a general, the emperor has a discerning eye for gold, and his ministers admire him." King Cheng's eyes flickered, and he suddenly came out of line.
The emperor glanced at King Cheng, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "Brother Cheng is right, Lin San is really different." Since he is willing to stay in the Xiao family, then continue to stay. However, he has the ability, but he does not contribute to the country, it is a big mistake, to put it mildly, it is a tyrannical thing. Lin San, you can go back to Xiao's house, but you also have to take care of the errands of the ministry. Since you are so indifferent to fame and fortune, then I don't want you to enter the Wenhua Palace. Lin San listened to the seal-"
"Your Majesty, listen to the people!" Lin Wanrong hurriedly hugged her fists.
"If you have made great achievements in war and won glory for the country, I will promote you to be the deputy servant of the Ministry of Officials and give you a mansion. Considering that you still have errands to do in the Xiao family, I will allow you not to go to the early dynasty. The Emperor couldn't help but laugh.
The ministers were apprehensive when they heard this, Lin San was a small family, what errands could he have in the Xiao family, and how could he be on the same page as state affairs? The emperor treats him like this, which is really affectionate and righteous.
What kind of deputy servant of the ministry, Lao Tzu is not rare, but it is a real benefit to give a mansion.
"In addition, for the convenience of your actions in the future, I will give you a few more words." The emperor smiled and glanced at him, and Gao Ping had already sent pen, ink, paper, and inkstone.
Give words, what is rare to give words, it is serious to have some gold, the new deputy servant of the Ministry of Ministers Lin Sanlin is too much Xiaobai, the emperor gives the word that is a great grace, and gold ten thousand taels cannot be exchanged. With the emperor's inscription, how much money can't be made?
Seeing his indifferent appearance, Xu Wei couldn't help but pull him and said, "Little Brother Lin, the emperor really spares no effort for you, and even Su Zhuangyuan is even better." β
Nonsense, I didn't know before, but now I understand. Xian'er is my wife and the daughter of the old emperor, I and him are genuine, Tong Suo's son-in-law and father-in-law's relationship, he is not good to me, is it still good to Su Mubai's little white face?
There was silence in the main hall, the high father-in-law laid paper, the emperor's golden pen was stained with cinnabar, a slight groan, the red pen waved quickly, and the ink treasure fell on the paper.
"Lin San, although you are a small familyman, you must not be arrogant because of your identity, you must know that my Dahua Holy Ancestor Emperor was also born as a cattle herd in the past, but he has become a majestic and magnificent strategy praised by all generations." The emperor looked at Lin San Zhengse.
I've heard you say a bunch of things, and that's it. Lin Wanrong said sincerely: "Your Majesty, thank you." β
As soon as the emperor waved his hand, Gonggong Gao gently folded the imperial gift Zhu Pi and sent it to Lin Wanrong. Lord Lin took it with both hands, and the emperor looked at him and smiled: "You hang these words on the door of your mansion, from now on, I dare to guarantee that no one will dare to bully the Xiao family again, let alone bully you again." β
It's not bragging, right, what words are so powerful? Lin Wanrong took the jade plate with both hands, thinking in her heart.
"Brother Lin, Brother Lin." Xu Wei grabbed him and kindly reminded: "After receiving the emperor's imperial approval, you must open it on the spot and encourage others to thank the emperor for his grace." β
There are many rules, Lin Wanrong hurriedly took the emperor's inscription in his hand, unfolded the painting and swept it gently, his eyes suddenly glowed with gold, his mouth opened and closed, and he was stunned.
The Emperor smiled silently, and he was deeply satisfied with the effect that could shock this guy who was not afraid of heaven and earth. Seeing this, Xu Wei was in a hurry, and hurriedly pulled a head with Gao Ping, helping Lin San to slowly unfold the inscription.
Everyone looked up, only glanced at it, but stayed with Lin San!
I saw the golden light on the paper, with five big characters on it - "the first Ding in the world"!
