Chapter 14 The Passage of Time

"Originally, the Western Han Dynasty had the Silk Road, and the Han people passed through the Western Regions, and communicated with the Semu people, and obtained pomegranates, grapes, sesame, courgettes, garlic, carrots, figs and so on."

Lin Chong held the black chess piece in his hand, landed on the chessboard made of Jin Yu, and smiled slightly: "The cotton seeds I brought back this time are much stronger than those pomegranates, grapes, and sesame seeds!" ”

"Adults are talented and talented, so they are naturally extraordinary!"

Cai Xiang accompanied the smiling face, and fell a white child, although the winter has passed, but he has only sat with Lin Chong for half an hour, and he still feels the cold wind blowing into the pavilion, making his back cold.

"It's just a matter of getting a head start!"

Lin Chong smiled and said, "I heard that Uncle Cai summoned An Yunshan, the number one rich man in Bianliang, yesterday?" ”

"My lord, I summoned that old guy just to get some money to spend......"

Cai Xiang explained to Lin Chong with a bitter face.

"I don't blame you for anything, but there is one thing I think the two of us should talk about it clearly," Lin Chong smiled slightly and said: "Uncle Guo is a Zaifu, and I just want to be a mosquito on Uncle Guo's body, although it will suck you a mouthful of blood, making you hurt and itchy, but it will not hinder your life." ”

"My lord is laughing!"

Cai did listen to Lin Chong's words and confessed again and again.

Lin Chong smiled: "I know, you blame me for marrying Lei Chun, who is six and a half halls, and you have to find a new capable subordinate, but I tell you, you can't control this An Yun Mountain." ”

The corners of Cai Qu's mouth twitched, and he didn't dare to say anything, but he didn't believe Lin Chong's words.

Lin Chong continued: "An Yunshan was the number one thief in the world in the past, and later after having a son An Shigeng, he took the mountain, changed his name and surname, and used the gold and silver goods of the past to become the first rich man in Bianliang. ”

"How can such a thing happen?" Cai did obviously not know An Yunshan's hole cards, after all, when An Yunshan was the number one thief in the world, Cai was not born yet.

"When Emperor Renzong was in power, Bao Longtu didn't take him, you said he was not powerful," Lin Chong said An Yunshan's hole cards, and then intimidated Cai Qudao: "Such a thief, the most important thing is to repay and repay, regard imperial power as dung, you extorted him gold and silver yesterday, and he will definitely take a thousand times the profits from you tomorrow." You ask him to kneel for you, and ...... later"

……

Lin Chong and Cai Qu talked a lot, but unfortunately when he saw a trace of disdain flashing in Cai Qu's eyes, he knew that he didn't believe his words at all.

This Cai Qu, Uncle Cai Guo, and Cai Xiang are just a wolf that can't be raised.

Lin Chong didn't plan to convince this kind of guy who didn't know whether to live or die, since he didn't listen to the advice, he had to make another plan.

Before Lin Chong left, he asked Uncle Cai Guo to help him intercede with the little emperor, so as not to let the little emperor trouble him.

Uncle Cai Guo naturally responded in one bite.

Lin Chong said goodbye and left.

……

Lin Chong rushed back to his mansion from Cai's mansion and quietly waited for the night to fall.

Under the night, the moon is dark and the wind is high.

Lin Chong was dressed in a night outfit, and at the same time painted his hands and face, even if someone took off the face towel, he couldn't recognize his original appearance.

Sneak all the way.

Lin Chong's mansion was very close to Cai's mansion, and by the time Lin Chong arrived at Cai's mansion, Cai's mansion had already become a mess.

"Why hasn't the Imperial Doctor come yet? It's been almost a quarter of an hour since the wind came to an end! ”

The housekeeper of Cai's Mansion was a middle-aged man in his thirties, and he was in a hurry at the moment, and sent more than ten groups of people to invite the imperial doctor from the Imperial Doctor Department and the nearby Langzhong.

"Oops! Xiangye is dying! ”

A woman screamed in shock, making the already busy Cai Mansion even more panicked and agitated.

The sound of smashing bowls and basins, horses' hooves, and the screams of subordinates are endless.

The people who were in a panic came to run, and they didn't know what they were busy with.

Lin Chong lay on the wall beam, quietly observed all night, and when dawn came, the people from the Imperial Medical Department finally determined that Uncle Cai Guo and Cai Xiang had died of their injuries and had returned to the west.

Cai's house, which was originally busy, suddenly cried.

Although this Cai did have more than a dozen concubines, he did not leave a man and half a woman, and now he died of illness, leaving behind a large family of property, and he did not even have a close relative to deal with property.

Cai Qu's closest person is the Empress Dowager Cai.

Waiting for Cai's mansion to report the news to Cining Palace, Empress Dowager Cai, who was about to ascend to the court to listen to the government, was suddenly stunned.

She knew that her brother liked to spend time and drink, but she didn't expect that one day, he would die on a woman's belly.

Literati often say that when the peony flower dies, it is also romantic to be a ghost.

But if someone really dies under the peony flower, it will become extremely ugly.

Empress Dowager Cai urgently called a few imperial doctors who went to the outpatient clinic to Cining Hall and inquired, but learned that it was in the middle of the night, when her younger brother, Cai was indeed playing a dragon and two phoenixes, and suddenly suffered an accident.

As for the two women, after being understood by the imperial doctor, the housekeeper of Caifu introduced that this is a peerless woman with inner charm presented by the prefect of Suzhou in the south.

Inner flattery!

Thinking of this word, Empress Dowager Cai shuddered.

The reason why the first emperor died young was because there were two show girls with inner charm in the harem.

Empress Dowager Cai supported her son to ascend to the throne, and the first thing she did was to behead the two beautiful girls.

It's just that Empress Dowager Cai didn't expect that after more than half a year, her younger brother would also fall on two charming women.

This kind of thing belongs to the family ugly.

Empress Dowager Cai confirmed the cause of her younger brother Cai's death, and in addition to being sad, she could only order a low-key treatment.

After Cai Qu's death, the first thing was that the court needed to confirm a new prime minister.

At this time, the famous Lu Gongshu finally took the stage.

Lu Gongshu is the third son of the former Taiwei Lu Yijian, who was originally a servant under the door, that is, the deputy minister, Cai Xiang suddenly contracted a vicious disease and died of a violent illness, Lu Gongzhu relied on his strong life experience, and his prestige far beyond other competitors, he was promoted to Shangshu Zuo Servant, that is, the prime minister and prime minister.

Lu Gong was promoted to the ruling prime minister, and immediately went to the top ten things.

These ten things are: fear of the sky, love for the people, self-cultivation, lecturing, appointing talents, accepting advice, thinness, provincial punishment, going to luxury, and no ease.

With the permission of the Empress Dowager Cai, Lu Gongzhu asked for the preparation of a counselor to open the way.

At the age of sixty-eight, Duke Lü led his ministers and assisted the Holy Son of Heaven and Empress Dowager Cai in managing the government.

Until three years later, at the age of seventy-two, Lu Gong died at the age of seventy-two.

In the past three years, a good foundation has been laid for the foundation of the little emperor, during this period, although the content of Wang Anshi's changes has been cancelled, but it has made great contributions to the recuperation of the Great Song Dynasty and the development of people's power, and the treasury has gradually been filled.

That's for another time.

After Cai Qu's death, Lin Chong made sure that he did not leave a single word, stating that he had poisoned him.

Even the imperial physician only found that Cai Qu's body was taking too many tonics, which was consistent with the symptoms of the immediate stroke death.

Half a month after Cai Qu's death, he was buried in the ancestral hall of the Cai family, and was posthumously presented to the Taishi by the imperial court.

It can only be said that Cai did not commit evil for too short a time, and he did not have time to cause a huge impact, and the court looked at the face of the Empress Dowager Cai and let this Cai do settle down.

After all, no matter what, Cai is indeed the little emperor's maternal uncle.

After the little emperor mourned for Cai Qu for half a month, Lin Chong couldn't see the little emperor every day, and after he went to the imperial library, he went to the royal library to search for the Buddhist and Taoist classics he wanted.

The Imperial Library has a large collection, but not everyone can enter it.

And Lin Chong, as the crown prince, although he is a seven-rank petty official, because he often meets with the emperor, he also belongs to the category of people who are qualified to enter the imperial library.

In the past half a month, Liufenbantang has lost Cai Qu's support, and Xinzai has cracked down on gang forces in various places.

Under the influence of the power of the Six-and-a-half Hall, it fell again and again, and after half a month, the situation in the imperial court was stable, and the Six-and-a-half Hall was no longer enough to achieve two percent of the original strength.

The only happy thing is that after half a month of bathing in medicinal soup, plus Lin Chong helped her to massage, she finally arrived at the meridian vibration and faintly felt the flow of true qi.

Lei Chun belonged to the innate Nine Yin Absolute Vein, and after his birth, this meridian was blocked and could not operate the flow of True Qi, but because of this, Lei Chun's body retained a part of the Innate Yuan Yin Qi.

When Lei Chun felt the flow of true qi, she mobilized this part of the innate yuan yin qi, and as soon as she opened up the meridians, she was automatically promoted to an innate master.

It can be said that the starting point of Lei Chun's cultivation is more than ten times higher than that of other women.

Coupled with the medicinal bath prepared by Lin Chong for her, she absorbed the medicine in the medicinal soup every day, and cooperated with Professor Lin Chong's "Yijin Sutra", and in just one year, she successfully completed the results of two years of easy blood.

A year later, Lei Chun also successfully reached the realm of congenital perfection and became a master whose strength was not weaker than Lin Chong and Di Feijing.

Because the court suppressed the forces of the rivers and lakes, and Jinfeng Drizzle Building, under the leadership of Qi Shaoshang, took refuge in the court boss and successfully replaced the position of the six-and-a-half-point hall.

At the same time, more than a dozen forces have risen on the rivers and lakes, and Liufenbantang has gradually withdrawn from people's sight.

Lei Chun also began to learn to teach his husband and children at home, and under the influence of Lin Chong, Liufen Hall slowly transformed into a chamber of commerce organization.

A year later, Lin Chong established the Safflower Chamber of Commerce on the basis of the Liufenbantang, which slowly flourished, and the Liufenbantang became history in the future.

That's all for later.

Half a month after Cai Qu's violent death, Lin Chong took it according to his usual habits, and after the order, he was going to study in the royal library, and suddenly a small yellow door called him and informed him to go to the Chongzheng Palace to accompany the little emperor to study.

"I thought the little emperor had forgotten me......"

Lin Chong stretched his waist, since living with Lei Chun, Mei Lan Zhuju and the four sword maids, Lin Chong felt that his spirit was easily exhausted.

For example, yesterday, Lin Chong fell asleep very late, and when he woke up today, Lin Chong also planned to sleep in the royal library for a while, but now it seems that he can't rest, so he found a wet towel, wiped his face, and walked to the Chongzheng Palace.

Zhuge Shenhou has already taken the little emperor and Di Yong to sit down.

"Knock to your majesty, please your majesty!"

"Lin Qing, flat!"

After half a month, the little emperor has long forgotten the resentment of the previous days, and when he sees Lin Chong again at this moment, he has a faint desire, hoping that Lin Chong will tell it again, those topics that Zhuge Shenhou never talked about!
