Chapter 181: Lady's Kindness
After the court meeting was dispersed, Emperor Yongtai was a little tired, and explained that Lin Jia would preside over the cabinet, and he would take people back to the Yutang Palace to rest.
The cabinet is a courtyard planted with sycamores, located in the outer palace, between the imperial study and the Hanlin courtyard, which is very convenient.
Lin Jia and the cabinet ministers, mainly Yu Yizhou, entered the cabinet, sat down on the rosewood chair in the main hall, and began to deliberate.
Lin Jia had already guessed that Yu Yizhou would give him a dismissal today, and it really went well at the beginning, when it came to moving the southern people to Ganzhou and Suzhou, and paying the immigrants a settling-in allowance, Deng Zixian, the head of the household department, began to make trouble: "Lord Lin, although this matter is good, but my lord, you have been fighting one after another in the past few years, and the treasury is empty, where is the money!"
Yu Yizhou looked solemn, shook his head, and said, "What Lord Deng said is extremely true!"
Lin Jia had already guessed this ending, so he was not in a hurry, and said immediately: "In this case, this matter will be put aside for the time being, and we will discuss it later."
His phoenix eyes narrowed slightly, glanced at the ministers, and began the next topic.
After all the topics were discussed, Jiang Shulin, the new secretary of the Ministry of War, said: "Lord Jianguo, Han Qing and the Guizhen Sect Master entered Western Xia and killed the King of Western Xia, the domestic situation in Western Xia has stabilized, Han Qing is now under the support of the Guizhen Sect Master, and he has established himself as the King of Western Xia, Western Xia may invade my northwest border at any time, in the face of this situation, how should we deal with it?"
When Lin Jia heard this, the corners of his mouth turned up slightly, and he smiled slightly-this was naturally arranged by him, if Yu Yizhou dared to stop his proposal, he would have a way to make Yu Yizhou uncomfortable!
Yu Yizhou heard this, knew that the matter was serious, and immediately began to discuss with the ministers.
In the end, the cabinet ministers found that the problem had returned to the original point - Lin Jia's proposal to move the people to the northwest had to be discussed tomorrow.
Yu Yizhou knew that Lin Jia was difficult, but he didn't expect Lin Jia to be so difficult.
However, he was not discouraged, and today he had let Lin Jia know his power in the court, and if Lin Jia wanted to control the government, he had to marry his daughter and form an alliance with him!
Ah Lan and Ah Chi stayed under the plane tree outside the cabinet with Lin Jia's personal guards, waiting for Lin Jia to come out.
Yu Yizhou and the others were also waiting there, occasionally chatting a few words.
The weather is very hot today, and after staying here for most of the day, Ah Lan and these guards are still wearing leather jackets, and they are sweating in the early heat, and their white silk shirts are soaked.
Ah Chi covered his forehead with his hand and looked at the sunset in the northwest, then looked at the empty cabinet gate, and said, "It's about to die of heat!"
Ah Lan wiped the sweat on her face with her sleeve and did not speak.
At this moment, there was a sound of footsteps in the cabinet courtyard, and Ah Lan and the others hurriedly straightened their backs and prepared to salute.
Yu Yizhou's personal probe took a look, and saw Lin Jia walking out talking to the adults, and hurriedly pushed a clever guy next to him.
The little servant understood, immediately led the horse, and galloped away.
Lin Jia walked out of the cabinet gate and said goodbye to the adults.
All the ministers naturally knew that this evil star was the future emperor, so no matter what they thought in their hearts, they were very respectful on their faces, and they asked Lin Jia to go first.
Lin Jia smiled slightly, took the reins of the horse handed over by Ah Lan, turned over on the horse, and arched his hand again, and then went down surrounded by all the entourage.
In Yanqingfang on a summer evening, it is still full of people, and the sound of silk and bamboo singing is endless.
Lin Jia, surrounded by all the guards, rode through the bustling crowd on horseback.
Because there were a lot of pedestrians on the street, he didn't move very fast.
When I arrived at the Chunliu Building, which specializes in rouge gouache in the capital, a snow-white silk handkerchief suddenly floated down the upper floor, fluttering towards Lin Jia.
At the same time, there was a coquettish cry from Chunliulou: "My handkerchief!"
Lin Jia looked up casually, and saw a girl standing in the window on the second floor of Chunliu Building, and the girl's eyes were looking at him shyly.
Ah Lan was guarding Lin Jia's left side, and also looked up, and saw that the beautiful girl's eyes had been following her own adult, and she knew that she was another person who had taken a fancy to her own adult's appearance, so she deliberately drew her knife and swung it over, and immediately broke the silk handkerchief in two.
The girl said coquettishly, "You have to pay for my handkerchief!"
A maid with melon seed face and apricot kernel eyes next to her also followed: "The handkerchief embroidered by the eldest girl of our Prime Minister's Mansion, you dare to break it, pay for it quickly!"
Ah Chi was walking on Lin Jia's left side, and immediately leaned over and whispered: "My lord, this girl may be Yu Mingyue, Yu Yizhou's eldest daughter!"
Lin Jia didn't say a word, pinched the horse's belly, and accelerated the speed of travel.
Yu Mingyue saw that Lin Jia no longer looked at her second time, and her heart was a little lost, her eyes only followed Lin Jia, and she saw him surrounded by all the relatives, and then she looked at the little guy standing behind her: "This is Lord Lin Jialin of the prison country today?"
The little girl smiled and said, "Girl, that's natural, the slave saw it with his own eyes when he followed our prime minister to the palace!"
Yu Mingyue's personal maid Lianxin smiled and said, "Girl, this Lin Da is so good-looking!"
Another personal maid, Huang Lian, also smiled: "There is such a good-looking man in the world, but his face is not white......
The little guy said with a smile: "Lord Lin just put down the Northwest Rebellion and returned to the capital not long ago, and it was only dark when he first came back, but now it is much whiter!"
Yu Mingyue's eyes were full of eyes and she couldn't see Lin Jia's flow of people below, and said in her heart: Not only is it a good birth, this is the future Emperor of the Great Zhou! If I marry him, I will be the future queen of the Great Zhou, the mother of the world, and I will be famous in history......
It's early July, and it's hot and dry, and it's cooler in the evening.
Yu Yu was tired of sitting in confinement, and after asking Doctor Jin, she learned that she could go out and walk around the yard, so she took a shower, changed into a cool and breathable dress, and went out with Lin Yin in person.
Li Rui learned that Yu Yu wanted to go to the yard, so he personally led people to make a blue yarn tent next to the bamboo forest in the courtyard, laid a fine bamboo silk mat under the blue yarn tent, put bamboo circle chairs and tables, and placed a few fruits and snacks that Yu Yu loved to eat on the table.
When Yu Yu hugged Lin Yin over, Li Rui was there.
He stepped forward to salute Yu Yu, raised his eyes to look at the little boy Lin Yin in Yu Yu's arms, and saw that he had grown up, almost no resemblance to when he was born, his little face was snow-white, his eyebrows were picturesque, and he could see the rudimentary shape of the phoenix eyes and red lips, and he was wearing a small red gauze robe, and his chubby white jade was like a baby version of Lin Jia, and he couldn't help but smile.
Yu Yu couldn't help but smile when he saw Li Rui's long hair tied with a dark ribbon, wearing a frost-colored summer robe and a black forged belt, and still dressed neatly in the summer: "Aren't you hot?"
Li Rui shook his head and said, "I'm used to it!"
Yu Yu sat down on the circle chair, feeling that it was very comfortable in the cool shade, and the fragrance of green bamboo was everywhere, so he laughed: "This place is really good!"
Li Rui was about to speak, when Li Fanxing ran over: "Master!"
Seeing that Li Fanxing was sweating in a hurry, Yu Yu hurriedly said, "Li Rui, you should take a look at Li Fanxing first!"
Li Rui bowed his head slightly and walked over.
Li Fanxing gave Yu Yu a salute first, and then replied to Li Rui in a low voice: "Master, someone came to the palace just now, saying that Yu Yizhou went to the Yutang Palace to see His Majesty, and he was talking to His Majesty about the marriage of adults......
Li Ruijunxiu's face became solemn, he nodded, and said, "Don't leak the news!"
Li Fanxing replied "yes" and left.
Seeing Li Rui coming over thoughtfully, Yu Yu asked curiously, "What's wrong?"
Li Rui looked at the lovely shade of Yuxue in Yu Yu's arms, took a deep breath, and said in a low voice: "It's nothing!"
He knew that Yu Yu was still in confinement, and he personally breastfed Lin Yin, if he told Yu Yu now about this matter, it would only make Yu Yu anxious, so it was better not to talk about it first.
As soon as Lin Jia left, Yu Yizhou went to the Yutang Hall and drank tea with Emperor Yongtai in the main hall of the Yutang Palace.
The great eunuch Yang Wen personally made a pot of Ming Qian Maojian, poured one for Emperor Yongtai and Yu Yizhou, and respectfully presented it.
Emperor Yongtai now has Lin Jia, he is very relaxed, holding a tea cup and slowly tasting tea.
Yu Yizhou was preoccupied, on the surface, he was not surprised by the water waves, but he was looking for the right time in his heart.
After Emperor Yongtai drank a cup of tea, Yang Wen hurriedly stepped forward to pour another cup for him.
Yu Yizhou saw that Emperor Yongtai's expression was relaxed, and then he spoke: "Your Majesty, the marriage contract you made to the prince and the little girl before, are you still counting now?"
