Chapter 64: Where Will the World Go?
Chapter 64: Where Will the World Go?
In October of the seventh year of the establishment of the martial arts, there was a strange incident that caused a sensation in the entire capital.
Lin Yan, the newly promoted young champion, knelt down at the Qionglin banquet and begged His Majesty, willing to use his title as champion in exchange for pardoning Wang Yu's family, who was exiled twenty years ago.
For a while, the government and the opposition shook, and everyone looked sideways.
Who is Lin Yan?
The eldest grandson of His Majesty's mentor Lin Hefu, and the eldest princess's favorite godgrandson. Shangjing is recognized as a leader of the young generation and the head of the four sons of Beijing.
Before the horse parade on the street, the handsome face and the color were like snow, overshadowing Tanhualang, all over the capital from the noble girls to the daughters in the market, all of them were crazy about it.
Countless flowers, sachets and silk handkerchiefs fell like raindrops, and the young man in red clothes who was riding on a jujube red horse was like blood, but his eyes were cold, and he crossed the surging crowd and landed on the imperial city in the distance.
Since the founding of the Great Liang, the eighteen-year-old champion Lang has never heard of it, and His Majesty, who has not been in the court for a long time, feasted on the newly promoted Jinshi in the Linchi Pavilion.
When the wine was hot, no one expected that Zhuangyuanlang would come to this show.
I saw that his posture was straight, even if he knelt there, it was still difficult to hide his handsome demeanor, and anyone had to admit that as long as he appeared, it was a dazzling scenery that people couldn't take their eyes off.
Qi Ke's smiling face condensed little by little, who didn't know that he ruled the world with benevolence and filial piety, and Wang Yu's case was an iron case set by the first emperor.
Now he is deliberately committing a major offense against the world, which is a clear challenge to his authority.
Over the years, he has retreated again and again, and now, there is nowhere to retreat.
"What do you think?"
Looking at His Majesty's gloomy face, which could drip water, the atmosphere in the hall suddenly became delicate.
The open and secret struggle between the royalist faction and the eldest princess has lasted for many years, and has maintained a complex and ambiguous balance.
Now, Lin Yan, who is not afraid of tigers as newborn calves, has brazenly unveiled this veil.
The wind is rising, the clouds are surging, the storm is coming, where will the world go?
The news grew wings and spread throughout the capital at the fastest speed. From the dignitaries to the common people, everyone is whispering.
Countless eyes converged on Lin Chi Pavilion, and the young man in the red shirt was calm, and his amber eyes were as firm as a mountain.
In the Yi Garden, the autumn colors are thick, and the years are quiet in the mist, and it seems that the monstrous waves outside have nothing to do with her.
Sov stood in front of the porch, teasing the starlings in the cage, the lively and cute little parrot that used to be long gone.
Now this pair of articulate and well-behaved starlings was personally captured by Lin Yan for her, one is called Xiao Hei and the other is called Xiao Bai.
In the distance, a few little maids were cleaning the garden, and they had all come in in the past two years.
In the past, Huanxue had already married, and was an ordinary small businessman, and the husband and wife ran a silk shop, and the business was good.
Over the years, two children have been added in a row, and the small life is prosperous.
Even the eighteen-year-old Feng'er got married, and Lin Yan Kaien released her deed, married a young steward in the old lady's shop, and stayed outside.
Now, she is the head of the inner courtyard, and she dispatches people every day, Lin Yan no longer needs a personal maid, and she takes care of everything by herself.
Occasionally, he would rarely be idle, and he would accompany her to have a meal, talk, and deliberately mix his mouths like when he was a child.
It's just that he doesn't tell her anything about the outside world anymore, and she never asks.
Just like today, a few little girls gathered under the osmanthus tree to discuss passionately, and a woman in a red shirt asked.
"You say, will Your Majesty agree?"
Another green-shirted maid said proudly: "Of course I will agree, there are so many people in our eldest princess, and Your Majesty can't accept it." ”
Over the years, as the eldest princess has become more and more powerful, the people below have gradually become arrogant, and even the current emperor is not in his eyes in his words.
"What are you talking about?"
The sudden Qingling voice startled them, and when they looked up, they saw Su Fu standing gracefully in the golden autumn chrysanthemum bushes.
At the age of fifteen, she is like a hibiscus blooming, blooming with elegant and dusty beauty.
"Sister in red, don't you know, our son is at the Qionglin banquet today, asking His Majesty to pardon his two uncles."
The red-shirted maid raised her face and smiled innocently.
Sov was stunned, and they ...... Is it finally time to make a move? But why, did Lin Yan get into trouble first?
In order for him to become famous, everyone knows it?
But if you take this step, it will be difficult to turn back, and from then on, you can only be mired in the bloody infighting in the court.
It's been eight years, and they are finally drifting apart, and they are no longer all the way.
Perhaps, it's time for her to think about leaving. Originally, she had two years left on her contract, but now it seems that she is no longer suitable to stay in Yiyuan.
A few days ago, there was a rumor that the eldest princess was choosing a good match for him, even if it won't be decided soon, but it won't be long.
The little boy who was stubborn and mocking back then still grew up. In the future, no matter who becomes the hostess of Yiyuan, her position will be very embarrassing.
In the eyes of others, she is his only girl who has sex with him, and she will also be a thorn in the side of the new lady. Who can tolerate another woman being by her husband's side day and night?
And she can't stand the days of looking up to people's snorts, she Sufu has a proud bone, seemingly gentle and graceful, but she is pure and arrogant in her bones.
Back in her room, Sov sat at her desk, stunned until the last ray of light disappeared from the window, and then fumbled to pick up a homemade charcoal.
I wrote a big word "go" on the paper one by one.
Smiling, Su Fu crumpled the snow-white rice paper into a ball, then lit the candle, and burned it in the dim flames.
That night, Lin Yan didn't come back all night, the lights in the Linchi Pavilion were brilliant, this night, the imperial city had no sleep, and there was no sleep in Beijing.
Qi Ke was on top of the dragon chair, watching the people below jump out one by one, standing there and talking, with a sneer on the corner of his mouth.
The debate between the two sides revolved around whether or not to be pardoned, and the discussion was nominally just a smoke screen, but in fact it was a provocation launched against him by the eldest princess's family.
Come on, jump out of here, and let me take a good look at which ones are human and which ones are ghosts.
As the night wore on, and the two evenly matched factions were already in a stalemate, they invariably set their sights on the neutral.
Most of them are important ministers of the court, holding authority, but they have always been impartial and unfathomable.
Finally, in the midst of thousands of calls, one person came out of the crowd and said loudly: "The minister Yuanli thinks that it should be pardoned." ”
Qi Ke's face was extremely ugly, this was an important minister he regarded as the minister of the humerus, although he did not clearly express his position, but in his selfish heart he always thought that he was also a royalist.
Now, does his appearance mean that he has gone?
Fang Yuanli bowed down and started playing, not looking at the saint who was already angry above.
"However, the minister thinks that the point of this matter is not to overturn the case, but that His Majesty is merciful, understands the suffering of Wang Yu's second son, and pardons him to return to his hometown to live for a long time."
