Seeing that there were stacks of gifts for Su Zhi in the corner of the wall that could not be sent, Emperor Duan could no longer restrain his temper.

Emperor Duan's heart was blocked, pointing to these things and unpleasantly spoke, "If you are idle these days, you will go to Sanssouci Island for me, many things are for your mother for the New Year, and it will be too late to send them," Although Emperor Duan's face was calm, he couldn't hide his concern for Su Zhi in his words, he forced Duan Jingyi to stand in front of these gifts and explain what was inside one by one, but the more he talked, the more angry he became, and he simply shook his hand and stood aside and stopped talking.

"Father?"

"Forget it, I can't remember these things after I told you, go back and make a list and write all the things to pay attention to on it, you just give it to your mother."

At this time, it was almost time to go to the court, Duan Jingyi saluted respectfully, "The minister will come to pick it up later today, and he will send it directly to Sanssouci Island tomorrow." ”

Emperor Duan nodded, walked forward a few steps and stopped, "If you have dealt with all the things in the past few days, you can go tonight, and you don't have to come to the court in the past two days," After Emperor Duan finished speaking, he felt that he was a little too nervous Su Zhi, so he added as if explaining, "Presumably your mother must also miss her grandson." ”

Duan Jingyi followed behind and saluted, "Erchen understands. ”

Although Duan Jingyi has been very busy in recent years, it is a coincidence to let him go to Sanssouci Island at this time, Duan Jingyi immediately began to think about bringing Tang Meng back together, and he was still worried about coaxing his little wife.

So the father and son thought about their daughter-in-law in their hearts, and went to the court one after the other, Duan Jingxun saw that Duan Jingyi was following Emperor Duan, and immediately became vigilant, for fear that Emperor Duan would give him any rights or promises behind his back.

Before Duan Jingxun could deliberately curry favor with Emperor Duan, he heard Lin Meng in the main hall behind him stand up first.

"The minister has something to do."

Emperor Duan looked at it coldly and had already guessed that since Li Kang's accident, this military secretary has been particularly concerned about this matter, presumably what he wants to say today is probably inseparable from this case, Emperor Duan lowered his face and snorted coldly, it seems that Lin Meng still thinks that he doesn't know anything.

Speaking of which, Emperor Duan really doesn't know that Lin Yue has been released from prison now, but he has always seen Lin Meng's abnormality, not to mention that Emperor Duan is the king of a country after all, and he naturally can't do anything just by pointing at the guards and eunuchs in the palace, so Emperor Duan's eyeliner is naturally indispensable outside the palace.

It's just that these people are in the minority, and the delay in entering the palace is not so timely, but some things that should be known Emperor Duan almost didn't fall behind.

Lin Meng was shocked into a cold sweat by this cold snort for no reason, and then he heard Emperor Duan's cold mouth, "Play." ”

Lin Meng chuckled in his heart, hesitated for a moment and then spoke, "On the way to the court today, I heard that the people were talking about the abuse of lynching by Shang Shucao of the Criminal Department, if Li Kang's case is not convicted, I am afraid that the people will be panicked and the people's resentment will boil." ”

After he finished speaking, there was no movement for a long time, and Lin Meng didn't dare to look up, so he had to stubbornly maintain a saluting posture and rely on the voice he heard to discern what kind of face Emperor Duan would look like now.

He hoped that Emperor Duan would be angry and a little dissatisfied with Li Kang, but he was afraid that his intentions would be too obvious and provoke him, Lin Meng guessed uneasily, as if he was in a dire situation, and within a moment, fine beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.

At this time, the ministers were also speculating about why Emperor Duan was reluctant to speak, and a few bold people raised their heads to peek, only to see Emperor Duan picking up the tea cup as if he had not heard of it.

After a long time, Emperor Duan put the tea bowl on the table, opened his mouth painlessly, and said to Lin Meng, "Since you have heard it, you should stop it in time, and you should not let the rumors continue to ferment, if Li Kang's matter is big and the court has no face, will you, the secretary of the military department, have a bright face?" ”

"This ......" Lin Meng didn't expect Emperor Duan to say this, and immediately had an alarm bell in his heart, and replied in a panic, "The minister was ...... at that time"

"Besides," Emperor Duan's voice cooled down, interrupting Lin Meng's words forcefully, and then he swept his gaze across the entire court as he spoke, as if warning all the courtiers, "Li Kang is only suspicious, and he has never been convicted, how do the people know so much!" ”

This last sound was particularly heavy, and it frightened the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty to their knees.

Emperor Duan narrowed his eyes dangerously, "If Li Kang's case is true, I will not tolerate it, but if someone does something behind his back, I will definitely bring this person to justice, and I will do it myself!" ”

After saying that, Emperor Duan brushed his sleeves and retreated, Lin Meng knelt down low, full of regret for his impatience, but he didn't expect that he didn't shake out the fact that Guo Yi had a silver needle on his body, but he still provoked Long Yan to be displeased.

Now no one dares to contaminate Lin Meng for half a point, and no one in the Manchu Dynasty has helped him, and when everyone is almost gone, he got up tremblingly and walked out of the hall.

As soon as he looked up, he saw Duan Jingxun walking not far in front, Lin Meng immediately felt happy and quickly chased forward, "Lord, Lord, you wait for me!" ”

Duan Jingxun frowned and sped up his steps impatiently, who knew that Lin Meng was not slow to run when he was old, and finally caught up with Duan Jingxun when he was about to reach the palace gate.

Duan Jingxun felt uncomfortable as he glanced at the gazes cast by the people around him, and said with a cold face, "What else does Lord Lin want to do, didn't you understand what your father said?" ”

Who knew that Lin Meng was not a vegetarian in order to survive and save his life, he took advantage of the opportunity to bow and bend down and whispered, "I don't know if those people in the army can use it easily?" ”

Duan Jingxun's face immediately changed when he heard this, he almost didn't crush his teeth, and looked around in a panic to find that no one heard it, so he lowered his voice and said viciously, "What do you mean by this!" ”

"The old minister is really desperate, you have seen what happened to the court today, I am afraid that Your Majesty is already dissatisfied with the minister, and the minister himself does not matter, but I beg His Highness to put Li Kang to death."

Duan Jingxun snorted coldly, and squeezed out a few words from between his teeth, "Don't think that this king doesn't know what kind of calculation you are playing, and wants this king to help you kill Li Kang, and from then on, your father and son can rest easy?" Dream! ”

Lin Meng bent his waist lower, "The minister is helping the prince secretly clean up the disrespectful people in the court, and now that Weichen has been placed in broad daylight, no matter what happens to Li Kang, everyone will naturally think that I am doing ghosts, who would have thought that it was the prince You are operating in secret, with me as your cover, this kind of opportunity is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, if you can finally pocket all the six parts, are you afraid that this country is not yours?" ”

The snake hit seven inches, killing people and punishing the heart, Lin Meng's words can be regarded as speaking to Duan Jingxun's heart.

Although this matter seems to be used by Lin Meng on the surface, but if you think about it carefully, Duan Jingxun is the biggest winner, Lin Meng is also out of the way, he just figured it out in an instant, what emperor is rich and noble, as long as the lives of his father and son are no longer threatened, he will move his family south, and then find an excuse to apply to Emperor Duan for the transfer of official positions, even if Emperor Duan is not allowed to directly remove him, it doesn't matter, anyway, the silver he has been greedy for over the years is enough for the family to spend several lifetimes.

Lin Meng didn't want anything now and just wanted to live, but the more he asked for nothing else, the more important it became that this only hope was very important.

Lin Meng held his breath and clenched his fists, and finally heard Duan Jingxun speak in a deep voice, "Go to this king's study tonight and talk about it in detail!" ”

Then Duan Jingxun threw his sleeves and got into his own carriage, leaving Lin Meng dusty all the way, Lin Meng was overjoyed and hurriedly got into the carriage and prepared to go back to the house to count his belongings in preparation for moving south in the future.

After the two carriages drove away, Duan Jingyi hooked his lips and walked out of the darkness of the city wall, he guessed that it was right, Lin Meng and Duan Jingxun saw that they were really inextricably linked, and it seemed that if they wanted to move to this second prince, Lin Meng was the best breakthrough.

Duan Jingyi closed his eyes along the way and thought carefully about the layout to be made next, and as soon as he arrived at the gate of his palace, he heard the gongs and drums beating inside, and there was another luxurious carriage parked in front of the gate.

Duan Jingyi frowned and got out of the car, and Steward Chen, who had been waiting for a long time, hurriedly greeted him and explained, "Lord Wang, you are back, the eldest prince just came to find Niangniang just in time to come to perform today in order to get the opportunity to appear in Huamanlou, if you think it is too noisy, go back to the study from the small door, and wait until this is almost over, and the old slave will go to tell you." ”

Duan Jingyi nodded, Steward Chen's arrangement was very thoughtful, and he asked casually as he walked, "Are Niangniang and the eldest prince in the front hall?" ”

"And Bai Gongzi, who is also ...... Ay! Lord, where are you going? ”

Duan Jingyi walked with a black face, "The front hall." ”
