Chapter 60: Confession
Because the New Year is approaching, the last early dynasty before the New Year, the thoughts of the courtiers are obviously no longer in the court, but considering that the next time to return to the court, it will be the eleventh year of Shunzhi, and everyone can barely stabilize their minds and pick up the political affairs that must be dealt with.
After the political affairs were dealt with, Fu Lin rubbed his eyebrows: "You Aiqing, kneel down, I am also tired, go back to celebrate the New Year, this year, all the ministers have worked hard." ”
The Manchu and Han ministers all bowed respectfully: "The minister is not hard, the emperor is hard." The emperor took care of his bows, and the ministers retired. ”
Fu Lin got up and was about to leave, but he saw Shuo stuffed below, and did not exit the temple with everyone, obviously something was going on.
Fu Lin did not stop, but said: "Prince Shuosai of Chengze, follow me to the Palace of Heart Cultivation." ”
Without looking at the other courtiers around him, Shuo Sai lowered his hand and responded with a "sigh", followed behind, and went to the Heart Cultivation Hall with Fulin.
When he arrived at the Heart Cultivation Palace, Shuo Sai saluted according to the rules and told him what he had seen and investigated the night before.
After listening to what Shuo Sai said, Fu Lin leaned on the chair with peacock feather makeup and satin in the bright yellow ground lotus, supported his forehead with one hand, and bent his knuckles on the armrest of the rosewood with the other hand, and the expression on his face was obscure.
Sizhen didn't know the truth of the marriage contract, and she had always been lucky that Sun Yanling had misunderstood, but now listening to what the fifth brother said, it turned out to be true......
If you insist on going on any longer, you will be suspected of taking the wife of your minister!
The last time Shuo Sai saw Fu Lin with such a look, it was when he was abolished in August, and he couldn't help but feel a little worried.
He knows that his ninth brother who is the emperor is still a temperament in his bones, but over the years, there have been endless beauties in the harem, but he has never seen him care about anyone.
If it is said that Zhen Gege made the emperor worry with his appearance, Shuo Sai didn't believe it, just like his own feelings for Yilan, how simple is it that he is obsessed with his heart! Now, looking at Fu Lin's expression, Shuo Sai is almost certain that the emperor's attention to Sun Yanling is only because he is afraid that he has a marriage contract with Zhen Gege.
After all, even if you are a king, you can't stop Sun Yanling's name.
Shuo Sai pondered the words for a while, and then said: "The minister heard that the matter of the marriage contract, it seems that Zhen Gege is not yet aware of it, and the king and wife of Dingnan have passed away. According to the minister's opinion, Sun Yanling has excellent martial arts, grew up in the military camp since he was a child, and is a good hand at marching and fighting. ”
Seeing that Fu Lin was silent, his eyebrows moved, and Shuo Sai said: "The minister also found out that this Sun Yanling and the prince of Pingxi are brothers in the same school, and the two have a good personal relationship...... However, when the prince visited Sun Yanling privately this time, it seems that the two did not get along. ”
Fu Lin's face was even more gloomy, he and the Queen Mother had discussed the situation of the imperial court many times, whether it was peasant uprisings in various places, or the small court of Yunnan, Guizhou and Nanming, as long as there were Mongolian forty-nine banners behind the support, the Han army in front, and the full banner in the rear, the proper handling of these problems was only a matter of time.
The vassal kings of the lands, now the court must rely on them and use them, but they can't be unguarded.
After all, the side of the couch does not allow others to snore!
If this matter is not handled properly, if Sun Yanling is in a hurry, he will say to the outside world that the king will take the wife of the minister, and then lean towards the king of Pingxi, coupled with the prestige of the Sun family in the Dingfan, I am afraid that it will be a real problem.
Only by letting Sizhen hold the feudal domain, in name only, a little bit empty, and then waiting for the other feudal kings to grow old, the influence of the descendants will be reduced, and at that time, the world will be peaceful, and the matter of cutting the feudal domain can be a matter of course.
After thinking about it, Fu Lin at this time, he had a deeper understanding of the overall situation that the Queen Mother said.
Shuo Sai peeked at Fu Lin's face, thought for a while, and said, "What is the emperor's trouble?" The minister is not talented, and he is willing to share the worries of the emperor. ”
Fu Lin closed his eyes slightly and sighed deeply.
Of course, he understood what Shuose was secret.
Yes, he can let the fifth brother arrange for someone to kill Sun Yanling once and for all, but in this way, doesn't it mean that he is sure in his heart that he can't defeat that martial artist, and he wants to use such a means!
He doesn't have to be ridiculed in the future, if he really wants to do that, he will despise himself.
After all, he is the king of a country, and Fulin still disdains to use such means.
Moreover, this fact is difficult to speak, how to say it? said that there were 3,000 beauties in the harem, but what he was thinking about was the woman of the courtier?
Fu Lin's brows furrowed deeper and deeper, and the hands of the large Western table clock beside him seemed to strike on his heart every time he walked.
He couldn't help but retract his five fingers and raised his eyes to look at Shuosai.
Shuosai's eyes were full of doubts and inquiry, and when he saw that Fu Lin didn't speak, he didn't dare to say much, so he only sat down respectfully on half of the chair.
Fu Linqiang pretended to smile: "Fifth brother, you take a sip of tea." ”
Shuo Sai bowed down, then sat back on the chair, and asked carefully: "The emperor is worried that if Zhen Gege marries Sun Yanling, that martial artist will be wronged?" Please rest assured, what is the identity of Zhen Gege now, what is the identity of his Sun Yanling, although this marriage was set by King Dingnan and General Sun Long in the old days, but Zhen Gege was young at that time, it was just a verbal statement, and the token was exchanged, not many people knew it, the minister went to Haosheng to persuade that Sun Yanling, if he was interested, he took the initiative to return the token to Zhen Gege, otherwise, the minister would definitely want him to look good......"
"It's not proper-" Fu Lin interrupted Shuo Sai, he showed a hint of amazement, "This matter is not proper, this is going to get out, doesn't it mean that our royal family dislikes the poor and loves the rich, and bullies others?" On that day, I asked Sun Yanling about his words, and he said that this matter was the order of his parents, and he was a filial person, and he would definitely obey his father's wishes. ”
"Moreover, if I do this, I'm afraid that Ah Zhen will find out in the future, and she will also resent me!" A touch of coldness flashed in Fulin's eyes, "Ah Zhen's parents are dead, and he has to keep filial piety for six years, if Sun Yanling is really affectionate, when that time comes, I will fulfill him, otherwise, I will never let Ah Zhen be wronged." ”
Six years? Parents died at the same time, just keep it for three years, what does the emperor mean, is he using a procrastination trick?
Shuo Sai knew it in his heart, but it was impossible to expose it, he thought about it and said: "It stands to reason that Sun Yanling's father died in battle, he should be worried, he can't be an official in the court, but the emperor's holy grace takes pity on the subordinates of the Dingfan, so that their group of people come to the capital and give better care." It's just that the minister heard that many of them are homesick and still want to go back, so Sun Yanling's family has an old mother, and he should go back to support his filial piety......"
Seeing that Fulin was calm, he couldn't see if he had listened to it, Shuo Sai secretly thought to himself, the emperor's mind was deeper than the sea, and he was afraid that it would be useless to rely on speculation alone, so he said directly: "Your Majesty, the minister heard that Li Dingguo, the remnant of the south, haunted the Yungui area, it is better to let Sun Yanling bring people and horses to Qianyun, first, you can find the whereabouts of Kong Tingxun, the son of the king of Dingnan, and secondly, he has excellent martial arts, and he can also make some meritorious achievements, and in the future, he will marry Shuo Gege in the future, and it will not be too ugly." ”
When Fu Lin heard this, he laughed: "Fifth brother's suggestion is very good, if Ah Zhen hears that his brother may have a chance to find it, he must be very happy." ”
The brothers looked at each other and laughed.

"Kong Sizhen! You come out! ”
Sizhen's carriage was walking from the princess's mansion in Jianning to the palace when he suddenly heard someone approaching the carriage and shouting.
Who is so bold?
"Who are you? Dare to collide with Shuogege's car? Don't want to die? Get out of the way. It was Bai Yansong's voice.
This time out of the palace, Fulin specially arranged Bai Yansong as the captain of the guards to escort Sizhen.
But I heard the person outside say with a smile: "Cousin, I'm Trillium, Sun Yanling, don't you recognize me?" ”
Kong Sizhen lifted the curtain of the car suddenly, and saw one person and one rider blocking their carriage and horse in front of him.
The person on the horse was wearing a dark gold brocade robe, a gray sable leather jacket on the outside, and a warm hat inlaid with jade on his head, although half of his face was blocked by Bai Yansong, Kong Sizhen still recognized it at a glance.
It's indeed Sun Yanling!
Why did this guy get here?
Didn't the emperor say that he was riding a camp and stationed in the area of Yong'anmen?
The horse neighed, and Kong Sizhen's eyes fell on the horse Sun Yanling was riding, and she sat up abruptly in the car, with an unbelievable look on her face.
Phantom! It turned out to be her phantom!
But the phantom was obviously raised by her in the princess's mansion in Jianning, thinking that every time she came out, it would be convenient for them to ride out to play together.
Why was Sun Yanling riding at this moment?
In the past two years, the phantom has grown into a big horse, and it is very fierce, not to mention riding, it is difficult for ordinary people to get close to it.
How did Sun Yanling take her horse?
"Kong Sizhen, you come out." Sun Yanling shouted again, and he walked towards the carriage with his horse's belly in his arms.
Bai Yansong snorted coldly: "General Sun, although you are an old man, you can't be so rude. ”
Sun Yanling raised her horsewhip, pursed her lips, and pretended to be aggrieved and said: "Cousin, Sizhen she ignored me, I asked someone to pass her a message several times, but she refused to see me, you say, is she so unreasonable?" ”
Bai Yansong glanced back at Sizhen and whispered to Sun Yanling: "No matter what, if you have something to say, it's not good for her to yell like this." ”
Kong Sizhen was wondering about her cousin's attitude towards Sun Yanling, when she saw Sun Yanling stretch out her right hand and whistle on the side of her mouth.
The phantom hissed, raised its front hooves, and looked like it was about to run.
Sun Yanling said proudly to Sizhen: "Daughter-in-law, if you ignore me again, I will ride this horse away." ”
"That's my horse, why are you riding it?"
Kong Sizhen listened, pulled the curtain and jumped out.
"You are my daughter-in-law, your horse, not my horse." Sun Yanling took it for granted.
