The vestibule of the Fuguo Mansion is huge.

In the past, it was a place where the prince and his subordinates deliberated. More than a decade ago, more than half of the imperial court's generals were or were serving under Cui Xu. Whether it is the dynamics of the frontier, the transfer of territorial jurisdictions, or the internal promotion, appointment and dismissal, there will always be generals who respectfully come to the Guogong Mansion to report matters.

At that time, I didn't think that this front hall was so big, but at this time, I saw the little prince walking in alone, and Lin Jian, who was sitting and drinking tea, looked slightly moved, and felt a little lonely.

Lin Jian is now an official and a general doctor, and he is a loose official under the four grades. A few years ago, he was photographed by Wang Xuanhu, the secretary of the Ministry of War, and greeted the secretary of the Ministry of Justice, and wanted to be responsible for clerical matters by his side. He thinks he is a clear stream, and he is simple in and out on weekdays, even if he has the trend of soaring now, he doesn't see how arrogant he is. Seeing Cui Wanyan coming in, although he was wearing casual clothes, his appearance and aura were outstanding, he hurriedly stood up and bowed down.

"Presumably this is the prince of the world." He was thoughtful and did not forget to pay respects just because the other party was a child.

Cui Wanyan, who was originally walking steadily, saw Lin Jian's salute, without a trace of panic, and stood on the spot to accept his worship, before raising his hand in a steady manner and motioning for him to sit down and discuss the matter.

Cui Wanyan herself walked calmly to Lin Jian's side and sat down steadily.

"My father has something to do today and is inconvenient to see guests, so I am afraid that I will neglect the adults, so I ordered the younger generations to come out to greet him, and I also looked at Haihan."

Although he didn't know the identity of the other party, Cui Wanyan called himself a junior, which was regarded as a respect for the famous post handed over by Lin Jian and Lin Jian himself.

In order to avoid the rejection of guests by the government, the name card belongs to the king. Lin Jian himself looks older, and it is not impossible for Cui Wanyan, who is still young, to call himself a junior.

Lin Jian's expression was slightly warm, and he smiled when he heard this: "I also hope that the prince knows that the official surname is Lin Mingjian, and now he is working in the hall of the Shangshu King of the Ministry of War." ”

Cui Wanyan nodded and waited for Lin Jian to continue.

"I came here today, because I want to ask Grandpa Guo to go to the military headquarters." Lin Jian had that respectful but unquestionable smile on his face.

Cui Wanyan's expression frowned slightly, and he also smiled: "Lord Lin doesn't know, before the Mid-Autumn Festival last year, my father had stepped down from his military post and handed over his seal, but now he is just at home, and it has nothing to do with the military department." ”

Although he smiled, there was a cold detachment in his voice.

Lin Jian's expression was a little embarrassed.

Over the years, the relationship between the Fuguo Mansion and the imperial court has been delicate, even if he is a loose official, he has heard a lot. Before he came, he also felt that this matter was not easy to do, but although according to the title, the Duke of Fuguo is a first-class person, two levels higher than the Shangshu of the Ministry of War, but now he is only an empty lord now, and he has no real power, so he should always buy a little face from Lord Shangshu. Unexpectedly, not only did he not come to meet the guests, but he also sent a child out. And this little prince, although he is calm and moderate, obviously does not take Master Shangshu in his eyes.

"That's the case," Lin Jian's voice added a little heaviness, and said slowly: "Wei Huailin, the deputy general of the Southern Army of the Ministry of War, was assassinated and killed in the suburbs. Lord Shangshu means that this matter should not be publicized, and it is good to talk to Grandpa Guo in private. ”

There are already three points of speculation and seven points of beating in these words. After Lin Jian finished speaking, he raised his eyes to look at Cui Wanyan's expression, wanting to see some panic from it.

Unexpectedly, Cui Wanyan was not surprised, and said coldly: "Could it be that Lord Shangshu suspects that it was his father who assassinated Wei Huailin?" He stood up as he spoke, and said, "In that case, please go back and bring the Yamen's Sona paperwork with you." ”
