Early in the morning, in the hall of the Lin Mansion, Lin Shaozhang lowered his head and paced slowly, his mind was complicated and indescribable, I don't know how many people at today's court meeting opposed the attack on Sichuan, and how many old brothers in Guangxi would desperately admonish.

It turned out that every time a court meeting was held, when encountering major national events and the like, Li Yunzhong would deliberately order someone to reveal the matter in advance, so as to give the courtiers time to react and calculate, and wait until everyone was thoughtful, and then get the ruling of the Jinluan Palace.

Lin Shaozhang felt that he was very innocent, with Li Yunzhong becoming the emperor and building the capital of Beijing, the old brothers in Guangxi were all promoted to several levels, and even more officials were promoted to five or six levels, like Zhao Laoqi, who was only the battalion commander under him before, conquering Nanjing, if he hadn't promoted Zhao Laoqi to the regiment commander, I don't know what kind of official he is now in, and now he has been promoted to the second rank, and he is still a third-rank official with no right to Beijing.

"Come on, go and invite Mr. Liu!"

Mr. Liu's name is Liu Xian, he is the west seat of his house, specializing in teaching Lin Shaozhang's two youngest sons to read and write, this Liu Xian is not a task, because he is good at eight shares, he always can't pass the Han Jinshi, and he hates Li Yunzhong's reform of the imperial examination.

As soon as Liu Xian heard the call of the head of the family, he immediately came to the main hall.

"Your Excellency is here, but do you have something to ask?"

Lin Shaozhang turned around with a sigh and asked, "Sir, do you know the situation of this official?" Don't hide it from Mr.,I don't know what I'm doing lately.,There's always a feeling of a catastrophe.,Mr.,Does Mr. know what I'm doing for Lu? ”

Liu Xian pointed to the statue of Heavenly Father and Heavenly Brother placed at the top of the hall, and asked with a smile, "My lord really doesn't know the way?" The emperor has already established a brocade guard, and the emperor has already known about the situation in the adult's family. It's best to plan ahead of time. ”

Lin Shaozhang disagreed, and retorted: "Mr. doesn't know anything. The reason why I believe in worshipping God is that the emperor himself preached to me. Now that the emperor has won the world, it is the reason why God blesses, how can you blame me for worshiping Heavenly Father and Heavenly Brother? ”

Liu Xian was stunned, this Lin Shaozhang was stupid, I really don't know how he became a third-grade official, such a low political wisdom, it is really a miracle that he was not brought down.

"Then do you know that the Emperor still believes in God!"

Lin Shaozhang lowered his head and paced, pondering for a while before replying: "Don't hide it, sir." Since the emperor conquered Nanjing, it was forbidden to worship God publicly, but the emperor did not say that it was forbidden to believe in God, which ...... This official has never been able to figure it out. ”

Liu Xian smiled: "That adult knows the big man, how many people are like you...... Such a blatant belief in God? ”

Lin Shaozhang pondered for a moment and exclaimed: "People who believe in God have all been transferred from the military, I understand, it turns out that the emperor does not like to worship God, no wonder the Han did not hold a public sacrifice." I see! ”

Liu Xian sighed: "Actually, adults have long understood, but they don't want to believe it, and now the whole country is calm, and only Sichuan is left." And what is the situation in Sichuan, the adults know more than the villains, and the emperor will let the worship of God secede Sichuan? ”

Lin Shaozhang was stunned. Subconsciously asked: "But what does this have to do with this official?" ”

Lin Shaozhang used to have the intention of returning to the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, and Changsha divided his troops at the beginning. He originally wanted to lead troops to Yang Xiuqing, but he was in charge of the guard of the Han King. The garrison happened to be surrounded by the armies in the center, so he held his mind and followed the Han king Li Yunzhong, and then later, the Han army won many battles, attacked the city and plundered the land, from Yueyang to Nanjing, without a moment's stop, the battle was a great victory, the future was very good, who would take refuge in the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom that was dragged in Changsha?

Liu Xian explained: "Adults believe in worshipping God, that is, they believe in Hong Xiuquan, and if the emperor sends troops to Sichuan, it is to pacify Hong Xiuquan, sir, how can the emperor let you go." ”

Lin Shaozhang was dumbfounded, and stammered back: "I didn't object to the emperor's pacification of Sichuan, why is the emperor suspicious of me?" ”

Liu Xian took two steps forward and asked in a low voice, "Haven't you told anyone about Hong Xiuquan?" ”

Lin Shaozhang patted his thigh and suddenly realized: "By the way, I said something similar to Chen Chengying, when we were all drunk, I said that I would invite Hong Xiuquan to Nanjing as the sect leader." ”

"That's right!" Liu Xian looked at the stunned head of the family, and secretly wondered if it would be someone else to assist.

Lin Shaozhang didn't believe that Chen Chengying would tell the truth, after all, he and he were colleagues and believed in God together.

As everyone knows, the reason why Chen Chengying believes in God is because he is prepared with both hands, in case the Han Kingdom is destroyed by the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, he can also escape by believing in God, but when the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom has internal strife, several kings fight each other, he immediately abandoned the worship of God, not only that, he intentionally or unintentionally passed on Lin Shaozhang's rebellious words to Li Yunzhong to clear his responsibility.

Liu Xian had two hearts, so he no longer persuaded each other, and arched his hand: "Your Excellency, you should think about it, in case the emperor proposes to attack Sichuan, your Excellency must not object, you must approve!" ”

Lin Shaozhang said angrily: "Do you want me to personally lead the troops to attack Sichuan?" ”

"Never!" Liu Xian hurriedly objected, remembering his identity, and said in a low voice: "The emperor was already suspicious of you, you took the initiative to apply to lead the troops, in the emperor's opinion, you are plotting against you and want to kill your head!" ”

"Kill the head?"

Lin Shaozhang was stunned for a moment, how could he get involved in killing the head, he just wanted to ask why he couldn't be promoted, who knew that not only could he not be promoted, but also the danger of killing the head.

Liu Xian reminded: "Your Majesty, it's not too early, if you don't set off, you won't be able to catch up with the court." ”

"Yes, yes! Thanks to Mr. for reminding me, otherwise I will be blamed for the misdeeds. Lin Shaozhang put away the folds, sorted out his official uniform, and hurriedly instructed the housekeeper to prepare the carriage.

Jinluan Palace, the civil and military officials have almost arrived, everyone gathered into a few small circles to whisper, and when Lin Shaozhang entered quickly, many people looked at him with strange eyes, and when they saw Lin Shaozhang coming over, they hurriedly turned away, and the strange atmosphere made Lin Shaozhang's beating heart speed up a lot.

"Lord Lin!"

Lin Shaozhang looked at it and saw that it was Chen Chengying, and hurriedly stepped forward and asked:

"What's going on? I always feel wrong. ”

Chen Chengying smiled bitterly: "It's not something to discuss today, alas! As for in the next ...... It's hard to put into words! ”

Chen Chengying was very depressed, he obviously no longer believed in worshipping God, but these ministers still avoided him like a plague god, and they all blamed themselves for being too high-profile at the beginning, and now they can't rely on it even if they want to.

Lin Shaozhang did not doubt him, and he didn't dare to approach the people who were usually good friends with him, and he expected that everyone wanted to protect themselves, and they would not raise any objections to attacking Sichuan at the court meeting.

Chen Chengying smiled weirdly and whispered to Lin Shaozhang, "Lord Lin, what do you think about attacking Sichuan?" ”

Lin Shaozhang looked at Chen Chengying, saw that his face kept shaking, and replied: "Lord Chen is sick, it's rare that Lord Chen is still sick to the court, it seems that Lord Chen still has objections to the attack on Sichuan, don't worry, as long as you bring it up, you will support it to the end." ”

Chen Chengying sneered, immediately confessed, hugged his fists and said: "Thank you Brother Lin, the emperor's decision has been made this time, and it will not be possible to rely on the two of us, it is better for us to contact the other brothers, as long as Brother Lin agrees, we will all listen to Brother Lin's orders." ”

Lin Shaozhang will still be fooled, seeing that the Minister of Civil and Military Affairs of the Manchu Dynasty kept peeking this way, and then looked at Chen Chengying's hard persuasion, he immediately knew that he had fallen for Chen Chengying's big fool again.

As a last resort, Lin Shaozhang said loudly: "If Lord Chen wants to persuade the emperor to stop attacking Sichuan, I don't approve of it, Lord Chen, please do your own thing." ”

Chen Chengying was taken aback, and he had the intention to object, but he really meant this just now, standing in place, still thinking about how Lin Shaozhang could see through his scheme.

Looking at Chen Chengying's embarrassed appearance, Hu Yihuang in the distance sneered at several sworn brothers: "This Chen Chengying can only conspire and scheming, far worse than his nephew, I really don't know how such a despicable villain as Lu Dao can be ranked as a scholar!" ”

Although Zhang Suimou couldn't see what happened just now, Lin Shaozhang shouted that he could hear it clearly, and when he heard the words, he immediately replied: "Chen Chengying has a good nephew, I think the emperor loves the house and Wu, but the second brother forgot, the name Chen Yucheng was taken by you personally, I think this Chen Yucheng has today's status, or our brothers promoted him for the sake of the second brother, otherwise the emperor took a fancy to so many people, such as Huang Jinwen, Bai Yinwu, Tan Shaoguang and others, but only he Chen Yucheng came out of the picture."
