Chapter 37: Are You Afraid?
Lin Feng, who was a little depressed, walked out of the palace with one foot high and one foot low. At this moment, the cold winter night was extremely cold, but his heart was even colder.
Since crossing over to this era, Lin Feng has given full play to the advantages of his knowledge accumulation and insight into historical development trends, carried out "differentiated competition" step by step, and successfully made many amazing achievements. However, all this process was so smooth that he somewhat forgot what a stubborn old world he was facing!
Now that I think about it, Lao Li's family, who is firmly in the country, has never guarded against him before, because he has no foundation and is too humble, and in a certain sense, people are just using him to promote change and sit firmly in the country. Taking Taibao Shangshu Ling Song Qiqiu's closed-door thinking as an example, it was mainly because Li Jing wanted to move him, otherwise he would want to bring down an old minister of the two dynasties with Lin Feng's personal matter, which is really a fantasy! Now it's different, Lin Feng's prestige and achievements are getting heavier, and he began to enter the "radar scanning area" of Lao Li's family, and a small move to join hands with relatives gave Lin Feng a big problem.
Not far from the palace gate, there was a T-shaped intersection, Lin Feng stopped, shook his head a little dizzy, observed the direction, and walked towards Situ Zhou Zong's Mansion.
It's a daunting test! If Lin Feng obeyed the true thoughts in his heart and pushed this imperial family away, needless to say, the old and young of the Li family must have begun to secretly guard against Lin Feng from now on, and if they want to do anything in the future, it will not be as smooth sailing as before! However, can he really give up his beloved Emperor Zhou E, choose a princess and lady he has never seen, and then fall into the whirlpool of royal strife?
Wandering to the Zhou Mansion, the guards who were dozing off in thick clothes at the door immediately led Lin Feng directly to the study, and Zhou Zong, who had lit a lot of candles and was reading something, looked at Lin Feng who walked into the house with a happy face, even if he saw Lin Feng's sad face, he did not restrain his joy in the slightest.
"Zhishan, tell me, what problem have you encountered?" Zhou Zong put down the scroll of poetry in his hand and said softly.
Lin Feng pounced on his knees and told everything that had happened in the palace before and after.
Zhou Zong listened carefully, but his expression didn't change much, he just pointed to the stool and motioned for Lin Feng to sit down and speak slowly.
After listening to Lin Feng's story, Zhou Zong put down the scroll in his hand and suddenly asked a digression: "Zhishan, what is your next attack plan?" ”
Lin Feng hurriedly briefly described his plans for going north and going south.
Zhou Zong frowned at this time, and asked strangely: "I'm not particularly surprised that you seek Chu Land and Qingyuan, but why are you so confident in going north?" The old man has entered the grassland more than ten times, but he still hasn't made any friends, and the top people in the Liao State have also been exchanged, and the situation is unpredictable. ”
At this time, Lin Feng had already gotten out of the depressed situation just now, and said in a loud voice: "It's man-made. On the one hand, going north is to spy on the strength and current situation of the Liao State, and on the other hand, it is to find a long-term opponent for the Central Plains and to gain a buffer time of one year or more for our Datang. ”
"Difficult!" Zhou Zong shook his head at this time, raised his hand and pointed at Lin Feng and scolded, "Since ancient times, how many people dare to say that they can let the barbarians play with it? You dare to pick up such a difficult thing, why would you be afraid of a small proposal? ”
Lin Feng's face was embarrassed, and he was ashamed of his lack of calmness.
"Drive a long car and step through the lack of Yanyun Mountain. Zhuang is hungry for Hulu meat, laughing and thirsty for barbarian blood. Start from the beginning and clean up the mountains and rivers...... The person who writes such impassioned words should not be a cowardly person! Zhou Zong continued to lecture, pushing the scroll he had just put down forward, and the words "Lin Feng's Selected Words" immediately met Lin Feng's eyes.
Lin Feng's face turned red, but he still gritted his teeth and looked at the venerable Lord Situ.
Zhou Zong's tone suddenly softened, and he looked at Lin Feng calmly: "Is it that everything is going well in normal times, and suddenly I suddenly encountered a royal authority as deep as mountains and seas, and I feel uncomfortable?" ”
Lin Feng nodded lightly.
"However, in the old man's opinion, you were actually sitting on the ground at that time, I'm afraid that you were also acting for the saint, right?" Zhou Zong smiled.
Nothing can be hidden from this wise old man! Lin Feng's face flushed again, although he was indeed a little panicked at that time, he was not scared like that. At that time, he just wanted Li Jing and Li Jingsui to relax their guard against him.
"It's hard to break a thief, and it's even harder to break a thief in your heart! Lin Feng, let me ask you, what do you think of Emperor E, is it possible that you still want to abandon her now? Zhou Zong bluntly reprimanded.
Lin Feng immediately raised his right hand and swore in a deep voice: "The kid loves Emperor E deeply, and he will never lose half a point because of this!" The kid is just worried that this matter will hurt Emperor E and affect you, father-in-law! ”
The first time he heard Lin Feng shout the word "father-in-law", Zhou Zong stared at him for a long time before he said: "I, Zhou Zong, have been upright and loyal all my life, and I have never sought an official position for my children, and I have never been afraid of anyone or anything!" ”
Lin Feng was excited by the pride of the old man, his heart was agitated, he stood up, beat his right arm on his chest three times in a row, and said loudly: "The kid really regards himself as a special soldier, and he has always taken bravery as his motto, so it is impossible for him to take the lead in retreating!" ”
"That's good!" Zhou Zong gently patted Lin Feng's shoulder and motioned for him to sit down.
Lin Feng stretched out his hand to take the old man's hands, which were so thin that he only had bones, and looked at the old man with respect.
Zhou Zong sighed lightly: "It has always been easy to dodge with open guns, but difficult to defend against hidden arrows!" Previously, His Royal Highness King Zheng came to ask Emperor E for music scores, and I wondered very much, why did His Royal Highness, a genius who thinks very highly of himself, suddenly become interested in Emperor E, and today I realized that the black hand of others reaching out to you has never stopped! ”
Lin Feng couldn't help but laugh and laughed softly: "The two assassinations in Jinling City are actually their best opportunities, but it's a pity that they didn't seize them!" "When Tanzhou City was besieged, Lin Feng was actually even more in danger, and it was not the best opportunity for political enemies at all.
"How are you arranging these days?" Zhou Zong also smiled and asked softly.
"On the fifth day of the first month, the morning court, the lower court will lead the saint to visit the Academy of Sciences; On the sixth day of the first month, he proposed marriage; On the seventh day of the first month, we set off to the north. Lin Feng said lightly.
"Sometimes, a long detour can be a bit earlier than a straight walk!" Zhou Zong smiled mysteriously and directly gave his own suggestion, "There is no need to go to the mansion to propose marriage for the time being, after the Qingyuan Army is cleaned up, the matter may be solved." After all, you and Emperor E's affairs are in front of you, no matter how anxious they are, they will not force you to choose on the spot, forcing you to be a trustworthy and unrighteous person. ”
Lin Feng nodded again and again, he was also preparing "thirty-six plans, dragging them out for the upper plan", but now the old man took the initiative to put it forward, which is easy to do.
Lin Feng, who was in a relaxed mood, immediately joked: "Father-in-law, the son-in-law really can't figure it out, if King Zheng also likes Emperor E, wouldn't it be a hundred times better than me, a poor boy?" ”
"Begging for a beating!" Zhou Zong deliberately stiffened his face, turned his head to look at the location of the palace, and sneered: "I am reluctant to let my precious daughter suffer in that deep palace compound!" ”
Zhou Zong's idea has to be said to be a new decision because of Lin Feng's arrival, in real history, a year later, in order to ensure the future of the family, Zhou Zong, on the eve of Zhishi, had to send Emperor Zhou E into the palace as a show girl at the instigation of several sons.
"Get out, you can go and see Emperor E again before you leave, but if you dare to come nonsense again, see that I don't break your dog's legs!" Zhou Zong still had a straight face, but his eyes were full of smiles.
"Yes!" Lin Feng was in a good mood, and left the study with a smile.
Subsequently, Lin Feng, who "visited the boudoir at night", only stayed with Emperor Zhou E for a while, and did not tell her about his upcoming trip to the north, let alone mention the emperor's relatives.
After coming out of Situ Mansion, Lin Feng's mood had completely calmed down, thinking all the way about all kinds of things that needed to be arranged before leaving, and unconsciously returned to his own mansion.
As soon as he entered the door, Lin Feng found that the house was very lively, with melodious music and cheerful melody, and even Li Ran and Dugu Fei, who had not seen him in the past few days, also came, as well as Han Xizai and Shi Xubai.
In a rare moment of relaxation, Lin Feng and his family and friends drank freely, drank and indulged.
