A few rays of morning light came through the windows of the library, and some dust slowly scattered like snowflakes in the morning light, and finally scattered everywhere.

Some of the books on the shelves are in the morning light, although they are silent, but they have a sense of history that has accumulated over the years, which makes people feel solemn and solemn.

When Wanlin has the opportunity to enter the library on weekdays, he will always stand in front of the bookshelf and stop a little when looking for books, and quietly appreciate these books with historical precipitation.

He stopped when he entered the door today, only this time he had no intention of admiring the books, and his gaze fell uncontrollably on the man who was standing with his back to him.

This person was a little slumped, standing with his hands in his hands, wearing a dark blue cloak, and he didn't look like the emperor.

Wan Lin walked behind him with a gentle footstep and asked carefully, "May I ask what is the matter with the nobleman looking for the next official?" ”

The man slowly turned around and took off the hat that covered half of his face.

Wan Lin lowered his eyes and did not look at him, but waited quietly for his answer.

"Lord Wan, long time no see."

"What?"

Wan Lin immediately raised his eyes in astonishment and looked at him, unable to believe that it was the person standing in front of him.

"Lord Wang, are you back?"

Huo Aobang straightened up, and his figure was immediately much taller than just now, completely revealing his slender and strong figure.

"I heard a long time ago that you were going back to Beijing, but I didn't expect you to come back so quickly!"

Wan Lin only felt like a world away when he saw the king of Zhenbei again, although he had already learned the news that he was about to triumph, but seeing him standing in front of him safe and sound, Wan Lin's mood was still extremely excited.

But the excitement in Wan Lin's heart was quickly replaced by doubt, and he asked puzzledly, "Why do you meet me here?" Could it be that there is something hidden? ”

King Zhenbei's battle-hardened face had an awe-inspiring coldness, but his eyes when he looked at Wan Lin were extraordinarily gentle, but there was still a bit of solemnity in the mildness.

Wan Lin saw that he must have a secret when he saw him here, so he didn't ask any more questions, and patiently waited for the king of Zhenbei to tell the reason.

"I heard that Fu Langzhong bought a lot of land yesterday, and also bought two houses and a shop?"

King Zhenbei saw Wan Lin and asked this.

Wan Lin smiled slightly after hearing this, "Yes." However, only that small mansion is my family's, and the other farmhouses are all bought for friends, and their family is about to come to Beijing. ”

King Zhenbei nodded and smiled: "Don't be nervous, I'm not here to check on you." I know you best how you and you are. I wanted to ask, is there anything in your family that you need my help with? ”

Wan Lin immediately bowed his hand to Zhenbei and said: "Thank you for your concern, everything is fine in the lower official's family, and there is no need for the prince to bother." ”

King Zhenbei nodded with a smile, "Well, needless to say, the relationship between our two families goes without saying, I know you are not polite." ”

Wan Lin also smiled at him, "Lord Wang, you specially called the lower officials here, you must not have asked about this matter, right?" ”

King Zhenbei stretched out his hand and patted Wan Lin's shoulder, his expression becoming a little darker.

"I secretly returned to Beijing in advance in fact, it was Your Majesty's intention. Although the expedition to Hule achieved a great victory, the war in the south broke out again, and the external troubles have not been completely lifted. And His Majesty will decide to establish the crown prince after I return to Beijing...... If this is the case, there will be not only external troubles, but also internal strife. ”

Listening to the words of King Zhenbei, Wan Lin was even more puzzled.

Without him asking, King Zhenbei continued: "The reason why Your Majesty asked me to return to Beijing early is to catch some people off guard. I will appear tomorrow in the morning court, and then ask your majesty for orders to go to the south again. ”

"What about the princess, the prince and the army?" Wan Lin asked.

King Zhenbei replied calmly: "They will go directly to the south and will not enter Beijing." ”

Wan Lin nodded, and said with admiration: "The prince's family and the soldiers of Dachen have really done their best for the country, and the lower officials are really ashamed of themselves." ”

King Zhenbei also showed an appreciative look at Wan Lin, "Lord Wan, you Beijing officials have their own responsibilities in the court, and they are all my ministers!" ”

Wan Lin suddenly bent down to the king of Zhenbei at this time and said, "The prince must not call the lower official, just call the lower official's name." ”

King Zhenbei smiled heartily, "Hehe, we haven't seen each other for a long time, and it is inevitable that we will be polite and rusty when we first meet." Then I will call you Wanlin. ”

Wan Lin's expression was a little more relaxed, but he knew what King Zhenbei and the emperor were thinking, and he was even more confused, and couldn't help asking: "But Lord Wang, what are you looking for an official?" ”

King Zhenbei raised the corners of his mouth slightly, and smiled mysteriously, "It's okay for me to ask you to come here." It's just that after you go out of the library pavilion, I'm afraid something will happen. ”

Wan Lin was slightly stunned, and suddenly understood what King Zhenbei meant.

Wan Lin came out of the library and went to do things as if he had nothing to do, he didn't have to lecture the emperor on the history of the scriptures recently, and he had a lot of official documents on hand that needed to be right, and he couldn't wait to break one person into two.

As soon as he returned, he felt that the eyes of the people around him were different from when they saw him in the morning.

Wan Lin suddenly raised his head and looked at a gaze that was looking at him, and saw that the person who peeked at him had some inquiring looks in his eyes, and after being discovered by Wan Lin, he quickly lowered his head.

Wan Lin didn't care about these gazes, and at noon, Song Xiuneng came over and asked squirmingly: "Brother Lin, the scholar just asked you to go out, did you tell you about our Hanlin Academy?" ”

Wan Lin didn't speak, just nodded slightly, and then continued to eat.

Song Xiuneng pondered for a moment, and then asked, "I heard that the King of Zhenbei is going back to Beijing, is the scholar looking for you about the King of Zhenbei?" ”

Wan Lin glanced at him and said lightly: "It's just a handover matter on the official document." ”

Wan Lin's face turned a little cold after speaking, and Song Xiu could see that he didn't want to talk anymore, so he finally closed his mouth with interest.

The others still secretly cast all kinds of glances at Wan Lin, and Wan Lin was indifferent in all kinds of eyes, as if he had never been called out.

Originally, Wan Lin felt that it was normal for his colleagues to cast all kinds of eyes on him, but what he didn't expect was that he was "intercepted" on the way home after he was released.

The two little guys stood in front of Wan Lin's carriage, hugged their fists at him and said, "Lord Wan, Your Royal Highness of our family has an invitation, and please appreciate your face." ”

Wan Lin poked his head out of the car window and asked, "May I ask which prince wants to see the lower official?" ”

A servant walked up to him and whispered, "It's His Royal Highness King Jie." ”

Wan Lin did not hesitate at all, and responded: "Okay, please lead the way." ”

Wan Lin walked into the gate of King Jie's Mansion under the leadership of the two little guys, and when he entered the door, Wan Lin was directly taken to King Jie's study.

"Your Majesty has seen His Royal Highness King Jie!"

Wan Lin greeted King Jie very politely.

King Jie immediately walked from behind the bookcase to Wan Lin's side, still holding an ancient book in his hand.

"You don't have to be formal. This king called you here because you really have a question and want to ask, as long as you answer this king's doubts, this king will definitely not keep you and will not make you embarrassed. ”

As he spoke, King Jie handed the ancient book in his hand to Wan Lin's eyes, Wan Lin respectfully took it, read it quickly, and answered the questions marked by King Jie.

After hearing this, King Jie smiled appreciatively: "Hehe, Master Wan really deserves to be a talented man in Lianzhong Sanyuan, this king really found the right person." ”

Wan Lin returned the ancient book to King Jie and was about to leave, "Then the official retired." ”

"Wait!" King Jie took a step forward and hugged Wan Lin with his body slightly.

Wan Lin asked strangely, "I don't know what else is going on with Your Highness?" ”

King Jie smiled unnaturally, "Hehe, this king thinks that the people of Wan are highly knowledgeable, and I want to discuss a few words with you." But it's not too early, so I won't delay you going home. ”

"Farewell to the official!" Wan Lin had to continue walking towards the door again.

As soon as Wan Lin walked a few steps, King Jie said faintly behind him: "Lao Qi, this person is the most honey-bellied sword, and Lord Wan must distinguish it." ”

Wan Lin said without looking back: "His Royal Highness Xie San reminded." ”

King Jie asked again: "If the crown prince is chosen between me and Lao Qi, who will Lord Wan choose?" ”

Wan Lin stiffened, turned his face slightly, and replied: "The lower official has a low official position, and he is not qualified to discuss the important matter of establishing the prince, and the lower official believes that His Majesty has his own decision." ”

After saying that, Wan Lin immediately walked out of the door.

After Wan Lin left, King Jie immediately let out a sneer, "Heh, you're running pretty fast." Are you so afraid that I will ask you something? ”

Fu Xiaojiu went to the dental store with Wan Pozi this morning to pay the money, sign the contract, and interviewed a few children after closing, so he came back a little later than usual.

Mrs. Wan was even more busy for a day, and as soon as Fu Xiaojiu's contract was signed, she went to the workshop to clean.

She made lunch in the morning, and Fu Xiaojiu told her that she didn't need to come over to deliver food in the past few days, she just went to clean up the workshop.

Old man Wan finished picking up Shen'er at noon, and went to help in the afternoon, and when they came back in the evening, they were both tired and had back pain.

When Wan Lin returned home, he saw that there were only some leftovers at home, and considering that they had all worked hard all day, he said that everyone should not eat at home tonight, and go to a nearby restaurant for a meal.

The family went to the noodle restaurant to eat noodles, and on the way back, Wan Lin was called away by others.

This time, it was none other than the emperor who was looking for Wan Lin.

Wan Lin guessed that the emperor might ask him for questions, but he didn't wait for the emperor to summon him for a day, but he didn't expect the emperor to summon him into the palace at night.

Wan Lin was taken to the imperial study by the emperor's personal eunuch, and when the emperor saw him, he asked with a smile: "Wan Lin, I heard that you have made a fortune recently?" ”

Wan Lin replied with a calm expression: "Your Majesty said that you are laughing, but the minister has not made a fortune. Most of the houses purchased by the minister's wife were purchased for friends. ”

The emperor suddenly put away his smile and picked up a piece of paper from the bookcase, "Wan Lin, why did your lady write her name on the deed of the house for a friend?" Is it her handprint? ”

When Wan Lin saw the contract of the house deed in the emperor's hand, not only was he not afraid, but he smiled.

"Your Majesty misunderstood, my lady is just helping her friends sign on her behalf, and when they arrive in the capital, the title deed will be re-signed."

The emperor stared into his eyes and asked in a deep voice, "Do you think I will believe your words?" ”

Wan Lin replied unhurriedly: "Those who are clear will be clear, and Your Majesty will believe in the minister." ”

"Hehe, you're really calm." The emperor laughed again and handed the deed to Wan Lin, "Come here, the thing will be returned to the original owner." ”

Wan Lin took the deed, carefully put it into his arms, and then lowered his eyes and asked respectfully: "I don't know why Your Majesty summoned the ministers into the palace at this time?" ”

The emperor looked at the high-spirited young official standing in front of him, and his eyes welled up with appreciation, but soon his eyes were clouded with a layer of solemnity.

"It's not a big deal for me to call you here at this time, I just want to hear what you think of King Jie and King Zhao."
