142. Degraded

The game between King Hengping and King Mu Xian finally came to an end after the latter narrowly won.

Years later, King Mu Xian held a ceremony in Mount Tai to seal the Zen, set himself up as Emperor Qizheng, changed the name of the country to Taiping, and named the meritorious minister.

As Lin Boqin expected, after Emperor Qizheng reorganized his official position, he would be the prime minister and the prime minister. Prime Minister Song worshiped the first-class duke, and the important position of prime minister fell on Lin Boqin's head. Lin Boqin couldn't refuse, but in the end he took over.

The new emperor ascended the throne, and began to work with his colleagues in the DPRK and China to rectify the dynasty.

Lin Boqin is now deeply favored by the new emperor, and is the premier humerus minister in the court, with countless officials, and the door of the prime minister's mansion is full of people.

Chu Cheng didn't even dare to go out of the door.

As soon as he appeared, this person would be annoying enough to ask questions.

Chu Cheng was not happy in Beijing.

Lin Boqin was busy with the busiest period of time, and he also found Chu Cheng's unhappiness.

It was rare to get early on this day, and he returned to the mansion, but he didn't see Chu Cheng. Just as he was wondering, he saw Xidui and Xixing coming over, and the two of them saluted him: "My lord, Madame is in the gazebo in the back garden." ”

Lin Boqin nodded, and he didn't have time to change out of his official uniform, so he went over to find her.

In the blink of an eye, spring is about to start again, but the grass and trees in the back garden are withered and yellow, and the fallen leaves are floating in the pond, which is still desolate and desolate.

Chu Cheng was holding a large-sleeved shirt with dark crimson patterns, leaning against the railing of the gazebo, and there was no match for sprinkling fish food into the water.

"Sister-in-law."

Lin Boqin called her.

When Chu Ji heard the footsteps, she knew that he was coming, so she was not surprised, but said, "Why did you come back so early today?" ”

Lin Boqin stepped forward and stood side by side with her: "The twists and turns in the states are all good news, Your Majesty has nothing to worry about, and those of us who are courtiers can go to court earlier." ”

As he spoke, he twisted a handful of fish food from Chu Hui's hand and scattered it in the pond.

Orange, red and white carp scramble for food, splashing countless times.

Chu Cheng sighed and said with her cheeks raised: "Husband, I miss my father and queen mother." ”

Lin Boqin was slightly stunned.

Chu Cheng lowered her head with some guilt: "You know that I am an optimistic person, but in the capital, every grass and tree will remind me of the time I used to be in the palace." Whether it is a strict grandmother or a cowering eunuch, all of them are memories of my years of life. Walking on Chang'an Avenue and looking at the mottled palace wall, there is a bit of sadness in the end. ”

How can you not get hurt?

The palace that has lived since she was a child has now changed hands, and she is still King Mu Xian, who has a gap with her father.

Even if the dynasty changes, it will make Chu Cheng feel unreal, and even make her think back to the day of the palace change all the time, blood flowed like a river, and her relatives died forever.

The new emperor did not revoke her title, she is still Princess Huarong.

But her father and queen mother are dead, what is she, a princess? In the capital, every time I hear these titles, I feel uncomfortable.

She knew that Lin Boqin had been very busy lately, but she couldn't help but tell him what was in her heart, like finally finding a tree hole where she could exhale a breath of turbidity.

When Lin Boqin heard this, he glanced sideways at Chu Cheng.

A woman of extreme beauty, who seems to be getting thinner these days.

Just a gust of wind blew, and I felt cold all over my body. Lin Boqin raised his hand and hugged Chu Cheng into his arms.

He didn't speak, just pressed his chin lightly against her forehead, and looked at the koi fish jumping in the pond, his eyes slightly deep.

After tossing and turning all night, Lin Boqin did not sleep well.

He entered the palace early in the morning to meet Emperor Qizheng.

In the Imperial Study.

Lin Boqin hesitated for a moment, but handed the fold from his sleeve.

Emperor Qizheng was overjoyed, and hurriedly took it and unfolded it: "Bo Qin, but what good idea has come up with again......" His expression froze, "What?" Are you resigning? ”

Lin Boqin lowered his head and said in a deep voice: "Now that the situation between the DPRK and China is stable, Weichen is not here, so he wants to return to his hometown to settle down." ”

Emperor Qizheng looked at him and asked sharply: "But the officials in the court are disrespectful to you?" ”

"Not yet." Lin Boqin said truthfully, "My colleagues are all the emperor's old subordinates, and they are completely trustworthy loyal ministers and good generals. ”

"Then why did you resign?"

Emperor Qizheng stuffed the song into his arms and stubbornly got up, "I'm not allowed!" ”

Lin Boqin took two steps forward and continued to persuade him, saying that he was not suitable for a high position, and said that the situation in the DPRK and China was already very good, and there was no place for him.

In the end, Emperor Qizheng really couldn't, so he had to sigh and said, "If you want to go back to Qingyuan County and continue to be the county commander, I can't stop you." Now that you've made up your mind, I have nothing to say. But...... You have to agree to my request. ”

"Your Majesty, please speak."

"Since then, there is an unresolved matter in the court, and I have written to you, and you must reply immediately, and you must not hide or turn a blind eye."

Lin Boqin thought it was a big deal, and when he heard this, he hurriedly agreed, and knelt on the ground and made a big salute, thanking Emperor Qizheng for his fulfillment.

Emperor Qizheng can't help it.

He ruled the country with benevolence and virtue, if even the ministers around him had to be forcibly persecuted, what was the difference between him and the traitors of King Hengping?

Although he was reluctant to give up Lin Boqin, he was relieved to think that he was still looking at Qingyuan County.

Within two days, Emperor Qizheng issued a holy decree to transfer Lin Boqin to Qingyuan County, Wangzhou.

Some people say that Lin Boqin angered Emperor Qizheng and was demoted, some people say that Lin Boqin offended Emperor Qizheng before he got into trouble, and Prime Minister Song Cheng entered the palace overnight, ready to persuade the emperor to think twice.

Emperor Qizheng looked at the appearance of the Manchu Dynasty's civil and military affairs, couldn't cry or laugh, and told Lin Boqin about his voluntary resignation, all of which were confusing to the monks of Zhanger, and even some officials speculated that Emperor Qizheng was making up reasons for degrading officials.

Emperor Qizheng couldn't, so he couldn't help but cool the hearts of his courtiers, so he had to give Shang Fang's sword to Lin Boqin to show his favor.

Shang Fang's sword can behead the emperor's relatives, and the lower can behead the ministers, and it falls into the hands of Lin Boqin, and there is no whisper from the government and the opposition, and he finally believes that Lin Boqin is crazy by himself, and the good first-class master is not appropriate, and he goes back to his broken Qingyuan County as a sesame official.

When this matter reached Chu Hui's ears, she thought she was dreaming.

It wasn't until Lin Boqin returned home and asked the four girls to pack up that Chu Cheng was sure that this was true.

She pulled Lin Boqin into the house in disbelief and asked in shock, "Boqin, why are you doing this?" ”

Lin Boqin patted the back of her hand and said with a smile: "I'm not used to it everywhere in Beijing, so it's better to go back to Qingyuan County." ”

"What's good? You once told me that your ambitions, your ideals, have all been obtained now, why do you still ......" Chu Cheng thought of something, she suddenly raised her eyes, "Because I'm right?" Do you know that I am not happy in the capital, so I will ask the emperor to resign? ”

She suddenly felt like a sinner: "If it were because of me, I wouldn't have to!" In the capital, I will always forget these things over time, Birchin, you don't have to bury a liter of career for me. ”

"Sister-in-law."

Lin Boqin helped his forehead and smiled lightly: "My ambitions and ideals have been realized. I have been a great official, I have won the Sacred Heart, and the reform measures I envisioned have been implemented one by one, but there is nothing for me to be nostalgic for in this rich place in the capital. More importantly, I promised Empress Renxiao that I would treat you well for the rest of my life, and I couldn't make you feel sad in the slightest. ”

Chu Ji is not a stone, hearing this, his heart was hot, and he stepped forward to wrap his waist, extremely moved.

Lin Boqin Zhengse said: "My mother still lives in Wangzhou, she doesn't want to come to the capital, so we have to go back to visit." Moreover, since ancient times, I have been accompanied by a tiger like a tiger, although I am now prosperous and deeply favored by the emperor, but who knows if I will cause death if I make a mistake in the future. ”

Chu Cheng was born in the emperor's family, and she felt deeply about these.

She snorted sullenly: "That's the truth." ”

Lin Boqin said: "The emperor also rewarded Shang Fang with a sword, don't look at the low official position of the county order, but the real power is not small, you and I are in a corner of peace and worry-free for the rest of our lives, it is the best." ”

Chu Cheng thought about it, raised her eyes to see his handsome face, stood on tiptoe and pecked him on the chin, stared at him with sparkling eyes, and burst into laughter: "Marry a chicken with a chicken, marry a dog with a dog, it's all up to the husband." ”

In this way, Chu Cheng ordered the people to pack up their things. As a princess, she saved enough gold, silver and jewelry for several lifetimes, and then asked the four girls if they would like to go back to the small county town with them, but the four girls were afraid that Chu Cheng would not want them, so they cried.

Chu Cheng had no choice but to take them all with her, after all, the master and servant have a deep friendship, and it is not something that can be broken by saying it.

Over there, Chu Cheng was there to comfort the four little girls, Lin Boqin turned his head, looked at Yang La and Hu Yu, and asked them, "What about you?" Would you like to go back to Qingyuan County? I finally came to the capital, if I am willing to stay in Dali Temple, I will say hello to Lord Zhuang Huai. ”

"Your Excellency, don't be humiliated." Hu Yu and Yang La glanced at each other, "We will go wherever you go, when you want to come to the capital, we will follow; Now that you want to go back to Qingyuan County, we will naturally go back to be the head catcher! ”

Yang La also said: "My lord, not to mention that our humble hometown is in Wangzhou, we are alone in the capital, although we have friends, but in the end we are not comfortable, you let us go back with you." ”

Hu Yu laughed: "It's not, besides, the adults should call us to be more smooth." ”

His words made Lin Boqin laugh too, Lin Boqin looked at Chu Cheng again, and waved his hand to them: "Go and pack up your things, tomorrow morning, we will go back to Qingyuan County." ”
