When the father-in-law who had nothing to do about it entered the palace with Lin Yuan with a sad face, he didn't dare to see Emperor Tianshun directly, but only privately asked to see Lin Fu, the chief eunuch beside Emperor Tianshun.

Seeing his face and Lin Yuan, who was silent on the side, the chief eunuch first asked, "What's wrong?" "Didn't you take the imperial doctor to pass the decree at the Lin family?

The father-in-law glanced at Lin Yuan, and then slowly took out the holy decree from his sleeve and held it in his palm.

Lin Fu was shocked, only thinking that Mrs. Lin was gone, so he lowered his voice and said to Lin Yuan in desperation: "Lord Lin should go in with the slaves, remember to be cautious in your words and deeds." ”

For a while, he couldn't think of any way, so he could only take one step at a time. As for the eunuch who passed the decree, he was naturally hung out of the gate of the Qianqing Palace with trepidation.

Lin Fu leaned forward, stepped forward and told Emperor Tianshun about the matter, and then retreated to the side with the dust, looking at his nose and his heart.

Emperor Tianshun only hooked the corners of his lips and looked at the man kneeling straight in front of him, and after he kowtowed his head again and got up again, he said coldly: "Who else is in the eyes of your Lin family?" ”

Lin Yuan half-bent over and kowtowed: "Weichen doesn't dare." ”

Emperor Tianshun raised his eyelids, looked at his surrendered posture and snorted disdainfully: "Don't you dare? What are you not afraid of? You don't have an emperor in your heart, and you don't have a woman who seeks death and life. Whether to obediently obey the order or let the Lin family leave no one, you can choose for yourself. ”

"I hope the emperor forgives the sins, speaking of which" Lin Yuan paused before he said softly: "Wei Chen thinks that there is a third choice." ”

The top sneered a few times, and then he took a moment to say: "You are a smart person, you should know who is the one who says the same." No one is qualified to bargain with me, especially you! ”

Lin Yuan knocked his forehead on the ground, and then raised his head and said lightly: "The emperor can know that the furnishings in Weichen's house are as small as wishful flowers and smoked flowers, and as large as the red sandalwood painting screen, each of which is several times more precious than the one in this Qianqing Palace. ”

When the pupils of the person who could see it shrank, he continued to say lightly: "The emperor knows again, where did Weichen go in the past three months?" ”

Emperor Tianshun has frowned and stared at him silently, who doesn't know that he went to Jiangsu and Zhejiang?

Lin Yuan arched his hand and said: "Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Liangguang, Northwest, and Central and South are still related to foreign countries. Wechen took out half of the food hoarded at home and handed it to your Lord Qincha, and the other half, Wechen transported it to various places and changed hands, and got five million taels of silver and five hundred bloody horses. ”

Emperor Tianshun took a bite of the sweet soup presented by Lin Fu before he smiled: "Heh, you did it!" ”

Lin Yuan also smiled: "Yes, Weichen is not in the court, as far as Weichen is concerned, as long as he does not interfere with political affairs and does not endanger the people, Weichen can do anything and dare to do anything." This is the businessman, and the businessman values money, not power. ”

"But if you want your ministers to go to great lengths to cling to the powerful, to influence the court, or even to be the king and the king, everything follows the rules, and you can't help yourself everywhere, and you can't do it.

Unlike you, who work hard and care about the world, Weichen's heart is too narrow, so narrow that it can only fit one person. She rejoiced and rejoiced, she wept and felt pain, and all she thought about every day was whether the foolish woman ate and drank well, and whether the clothes were to her liking. ”

"You're telling me that you have no ambitions?" Emperor Tianshun raised his eyebrows.

"If the emperor doesn't take the initiative, the Lin family naturally has no ambitions."

"You don't plan for your two sons who are both civil and military?" Emperor Tianshun scooped up another spoonful of sweet soup and put it in his mouth.

Lin Yuan curled the corners of his lips mockingly: "Who is the emperor, don't you know the actions of the courtiers under your nose?"

You are diligent and love the people, the prince is benevolent and wise, and the Lin family is only from a poor peasant background, why would you want to replace him? Or is it that the end of the turmoil in the imperial court is not bloody enough? ”

Emperor Tianshun smiled sarcastically: "Hmph, emperor, minister, you can see clearly!" ”

Lin Yuan bowed respectfully and said, "Wechen heard that there is a saying among the people, which is called meat rotting in the pot or meat. Weichen thinks that no matter how rich the minister is, as long as the country is firmly in your hands, the wealth of the whole world is yours.

Instead of bothering to contain the Lin family, it is better to let your private treasury and the treasury of the Ming Dynasty be full because of the Lin family. As long as the Lin family lasts for a long time, your problems can be solved; When the crown prince succeeds to the throne in the future, it will never be in such a bitter situation as you are now. ”

After a while, a voice came from above: "You are happy." ”

Lin Yuan only said word by word: "Princess Chongqing is the pearl of the emperor's palm, if she ruins the princess's lifelong happiness just to test and control the Lin family, I am afraid that the gains outweigh the losses." Weichen put down a sentence, it is better to lose both than to stop and be well. ”

After hearing this, Emperor Tianshun held his head for a long time before he said tiredly: "Get up, you are the same as your woman, after all, you don't look down on my princess." ”

Lin Yuan moved, his knees were already sore, but he didn't seem to be aware of it, he just stood up like a green pine: "The emperor is wrong, it's not that the minister doesn't look down on the princess, but the princess has another good match, and she doesn't look down on the Lin family." This marriage, from beginning to end, is your own intention. ”

Half an hour later, the emperor opened his mouth and said slowly: "Go down, I have my own determination in this matter." ”

"Your Majesty." Lin Yuan opened his mouth in a deep voice and bowed to the emperor.

As the general exited the door, he glanced up at the Emperor, and when he met his cold eyes, he lowered his eyes and withdrew in silence.

After Lin Yuan took a few steps, Emperor Tianshun said coldly to the air: "Lin Fu, do you see how many truths he has in his mouth?" ”

The chief eunuch behind him hurriedly took two steps forward and bowed and said softly: "How can this slave and maid see it!" However, there are two sentences that are clear. ”

"Oh?" Emperor Tianshun raised his eyes and glanced at him.

Lin Fu had to bend his waist again, and only when his face was level with the pile of imperial cases full of chapters did he say carefully: "The noble concubine has a distant relative named Zhou Jing, and now she is sixteen years old, she likes poetry and books, and her appearance is good. A few days ago, the concubine Niangniang summoned her to the palace to meet her...... Her Royal Highness the Princess is also there. ”

"Since she loves everything and bothers to plan, then let her plan enough." Emperor Tianshun was noncommittal.

"Lord Nalin also said, as long as the country is firmly in your hands, all the wealth in the world will belong to you, and the slave and maid think so.

Noble and powerful ministers, rich and wealthy gentry, as long as you really want to deal with them, who can beat you? "Accompanying the king is like accompanying the tiger, where would Lin Fu not understand the face of Emperor Tianshun.

Zhu Qizhen smiled coldly: "It's for the sake of the prince that he is cheap, I'm afraid I will have to use him for a few more years!" I hope he really has that affection, otherwise ......"

On the second day, the emperor's imperial decree arrived at the Lin family, and the decree was to call the world: Wen's relief of the victims was meritorious, and the title of "Mrs. Huaishan" was specially given, called Mrs. Huaishan, and five boxes of gold and silver tribute brocade were rewarded.

A useless title can be regarded as an explanation to the eunuch who sent the edict to the Lin family for half a day to no avail, and it is also a clear indication of the emperor's softening attitude.
