Chapter 13: Settle accounts after the fall
After visiting the Lanling Cigarette Factory, Lin Kai took the empress to inspect the textile factory and daily chemical factory.
The textile factory gave the empress and her entourage a dozen pieces of silk, and in the tailor shop on the street, each of them made several sets of clothes.
When visiting the daily chemical factory, the empress was presented with several sets of high-end cosmetics, Qingfeng Mingyue also received two sets, and the entourage gave some skin care products and sunscreen.
The empress and her entourage were all very happy.
The entourage privately discussed: "It's worth the trip, it's an eye-opener to come to Lanling!" ”
"Yes, I heard that it is all the credit of Lin Kai of Lanling County, why hasn't this person shown up yet?"
"He's gone down to inspect and won't be back until a few days!"
"I see, this Lanling County Order is deliberately hiding and not wanting to see the empress!"
After a day of shopping, the empress was also a little tired, she held Lin Kai's arm, looking like a bird.
"If Your Majesty is tired, shall we go back to the hotel to rest?"
"Well, how many places else haven't we seen?"
Lin Kai said with a smile: "There are many places that I haven't seen yet, as well as chemical factories, glass craft factories, and steel factories...... There are also a lot of scenic spots in Lanling, and without ten days and half a month, Your Majesty can't finish it! ”
"I can't imagine that a small Lanling is even more prosperous than the capital, everything here, I have never heard of, which has opened my eyes!"
The empress exclaimed, as if she was still unsatisfied, but her face showed a tired face.
"If Your Majesty still wants to visit, let's continue tomorrow!"
"Alright, let's get back to the inn!" The empress nodded.
……
Back at the hotel, I had dinner first, and then the empress went back to the room and took a hot bath, feeling that most of the fatigue was gone, so she asked Qingfeng to call Lin Kai.
"Bold Lin Kai, don't kneel down yet!"
As soon as Lin Kai entered the door, he saw the empress sitting on the sofa with a grim face.
The breeze and bright moon on the side watched coldly there, looking gloating.
"You kid is going to die today!"
"Don't kneel yet!"
Seeing this posture, Lin Kai knew that the empress was not joking, and he couldn't help but feel a little furious in his heart, and the empress finally settled the account after the autumn.
The empress said Lin Kai's name, obviously she already knew Lin Kai's true identity.
In front of absolute authority, Lin Kai had to kneel obediently in front of the empress.
"Why is Your Majesty angry?"
"Don't you think I don't know? I'm not so stupid, you are Lin Kai, the county magistrate of Lanling County, are you guilty? ”
Lin Kai actually realized a long time ago that his identity had been exposed, and no matter where he went today, everyone was respectful to Lin Kai.
visited several manufacturers, and the factory director called Lin Kai the boss.
Can a tour guide have such a big face?
Fools know that in this place of Lanling, the person pretending to be a tour guide in front of him is the boss of Lanling County.
"Weichen is guilty, please punish Your Majesty!"
The empress was surprised and asked, "Why don't you beg for mercy?" ”
Lin Kaiyan said: "Your Majesty has seen a different Lanling today, try to ask where in the world the economic development, as well as the lives of the common people, is Lanling so good?" ”
"If Your Majesty still thinks that the crime of Weichen is unforgivable after seeing all this, then please ask Your Majesty to kill the minister, and the minister has no complaints!"
The empress asked again: "You have governed Lanling as the richest county in the world, but you have committed the crime of bullying the king, if I insist on killing you today, will you not complain?" ”
Lin Kai smiled faintly and said: "If Your Majesty insists on killing the minister, it means that Your Majesty is a faint monarch, and in order to show the royal authority, he killed a meritorious minister, Your Majesty is such an emperor, that is the misfortune of the people of the Great Yan Country!" ”
"What a well-spoken Lin Kai, let's be even!"
"Don't dare!"
"I told you to get up, why don't you get up? I won't kill you! ”
The empress's expression suddenly softened, and her next move surprised Lin Kai even more, the empress actually stood up and personally stepped forward to grab Lin Kai's hand and pull him up.
"Xiaolinzi, no, Aiqing, please take a seat!"
The empress pulled Lin Kai to the sofa and pressed him on the sofa, the empress's behavior made Lin Kai feel very surprised, and even Qingfeng Mingyue, who was standing aside, widened her eyes and was surprised.
The empress did not punish Lin Kai for the crime of bullying the king, but invited Lin Kai to take a seat so politely, which one did the empress sing?
"Lin Aiqing, you are a rare talent in the Great Yan Country, your talent can be called unprecedented, I have decided to ......"
Speaking of this, the empress actually puffed and knelt in front of Lin Kai.
This move startled Lin Kai, and Qingfeng Mingyue even let out an exclamation of "ah".
"Your Majesty, by no means! How can the minister afford it! ”
Lin Kai also knelt down with a puff, and the empress saw Lin Kai in a hurry like this, and laughed.
quipped: "Are you worshipping heaven and earth with me?" ”
"Don't dare! Please get up, and kneel down for Your Majesty! ”
The empress looked at Lin Kai with a pleasant face, and said, "Let's stand up first, and you listen to me slowly!" ”
The two got up from the ground, and the empress asked Lin Kai to sit down beside her.
Lin Kai sat down "with sincere fear".
Actually, in front of the empress, Lin Kai was not so nervous, and there were some exaggerated movements, which Lin Kai pretended.
As a subordinate, if you don't pretend in front of the emperor, you don't seem to respect her.
"Lin Aiqing, you are the number one genius in the world, I have decided to worship you as the emperor!" The empress said, kneeling down in front of Lin Kai again.
The empress's decision was too sudden, Lin Kai was not psychologically prepared at all, he didn't expect the empress to worship him as the emperor's teacher.
When Lin Kai came back to his senses, the empress had already kowtowed a few times.
Since he accepted the empress's bowing ceremony, it marks that Lin Kai will be the empress's emperor from now on.
In ancient times, the emperor could not kneel casually, and the emperor's kneeling ceremony was very particular.
When sacrificing heaven and earth, the emperor will kneel to heaven and earth, followed by kneeling to the temple, and the third to kneel to the emperor.
When worshipping the emperor, you must also bow three times and bow nine times to show respect.
Of course, the emperor is also a minister, and after apprenticing, when the emperor is in a major public place, when hundreds of officials kneel, the emperor must also kneel and worship.
This is a very strict set of etiquette in ancient times.
If Lin Kai didn't want to agree to be the emperor's teacher, when the empress knelt down just now, he would have to react, and after the empress bowed three times and bowed nine times, he couldn't refuse.
Otherwise, it is a crime of deceit.
"The teacher is above, please bow to the students again!"
"Hey! Your Majesty, the ministers are not knowledgeable, how can they be emperors for Your Majesty? ”
The wood was already in the boat, Lin Kai let out a long sigh, and forgot to help the empress up.
The empress raised her head and smiled at Lin Kai and said, "Lin Aiqing, do you want me to kneel all the time?" ”
