Chapter 77: Yang Lian's Worries
In fact, Yang Lian is an anxious person, he originally wanted to chat with Lin Ping'an about poetry for a while, and then cut to the chase, but for some reason, this opening directly said the words in his heart.
Maybe in his heart, Lin Ping'an is just a thirteen-year-old boy, if he goes around like other old foxes, he will probably stun the other party.
At this moment, after he finished saying this, his eyes stared at Lin Ping'an without blinking.
To be honest, Lin Ping'an really didn't expect that Yang Lian threw a bomb at himself as soon as he came up, and at this moment, when he saw the other party staring at him with blazing eyes, he couldn't help but smile and said:
"Lord Yang, the kid is just a imperial doctor, and he has just come to this capital not long ago, and he can't even figure out the names of the adults in the court, how do you know who is a gentleman and who is a villain?"
Yang Lian shook his head, and Zhengse said:
"That's why I specially invited Dean Lin to come and have a meeting with the old man today."
Saying this, he stood up, walked a few steps back and forth in the room, and then stood still, turned back, and said:
"You and I don't know each other, the old man shouldn't have many things, but Dean Lin's poetry is brilliant, he came to the capital for less than a month, and he has been famous all over the world, this is the pride of my scholars, the old man can't bear to see Bai Bi covered with ashes, so he took the liberty to speak, bare heart, and look at Dean Lin's Mingjian."
Although Lin Ping'an didn't know why, he couldn't help but stand up at this moment and said to Yang Lian:
"Lord Yang has always been known for his loyalty and righteousness in the world, the kid has long wanted to visit, but I am afraid of being presumptuous and abrupt, and even hesitating, I don't want to be invited by the Lord today, and I am grateful to the heart beyond words, but the kid is dull, please Lord Yang make it clear."
Lin Ping'an's words of Wen Zou Zou admired Yang Lian even more, and put himself in the position of a junior, Yang Lian was very happy in his heart, he pondered for a moment, and then said:
"Two days ago, Dean Lin said at the Zhuyuan Poetry Conference about the opening of industrial and commercial taxes, and at today's court meeting, Wei Zhongxian also asked His Majesty to do so."
After saying this, Yang Lian looked at Lin Ping'an again, with a deep meaning in his eyes.
Dare to love this old man who treats me and Wei Zhongxian as a gang...... When Lin Ping'an heard this, his heart suddenly brightened, in history, Wei Zhongxian had already implemented the opening of the industrial and commercial tax, so he was not surprised by Yang Lian's words at this moment.
It's just that he was a little surprised that he just talked about this matter a few days ago, and Wei Zhongxian mentioned it at the court meeting, and this kind of coincidence really has to be reminiscent.
Lin Ping'an thought about it and said straightforwardly:
"Opening the industrial and commercial tax is the kid's own idea, and it has nothing to do with Wei Zhongxian."
Hearing this, Yang Lian was greatly surprised, he looked Lin Ping'an up and down, only to see that the other party's eyes were clear, obviously not lying.
This made him very surprised, in his heart, such a thing as opening the industrial and commercial tax was not something that a teenager could come up with, but at this moment, Lin Ping'an actually said that it was his own idea, which had to make him look at the thirteen-year-old boy in front of him.
"What does Lord Yang think about this?"
Lin Ping'an asked at Yang Lian, he was also very curious in his heart, what would this leader of the Donglin Party think about this matter?
Yang Lian was silent for a long time, shook his head and said:
"The old man thinks that this matter is very inappropriate, Dean Lin can't help but think about this matter too simply, you just saw the benefits that this matter can bring to the imperial court, but you didn't expect that this matter is very wide-ranging, and many people in the court have a vital interest relationship, the so-called involvement of the whole body, I am afraid that there is a lot of resistance."
"And what does Your Majesty mean?"
Hearing Lin Ping'an's question, Yang Lian couldn't help but show a wry smile and said:
"Our majesty is obedient to Wei Zhongxian, and he agreed to it at the court meeting, but if he wants to implement it, how can it be so easy?"
He did not shy away from suspicion in front of Lin Ping'an at the moment, and in his words, he seemed to be quite dissatisfied with Zhu Youxiao.
Lin Ping'an naturally knew that opening the industrial and commercial tax would affect the interests of many people in the imperial court, so he didn't care about Yang Lian's words, but said:
"The kid just wants to hear Lord Yang's most true opinion on this matter."
Yang Lian frowned and said: "This matter is good for the country and the people, but it is difficult to implement it." ”
Hearing this, Lin Ping'an said with a smile:
"Wei Zhongxian is in charge of the East Factory, so he naturally has his own methods, as long as Lord Yang thinks this method is feasible, there is no need to worry too much about the rest."
Lin Ping'an brought the topic to Wei Zhongxian again.
Yang Lian nodded and said to himself:
"I'm just curious, who came up with such an idea for Wei Zhongxian behind his back? Or was your words at the Zhuyuan Poetry Meeting told His Majesty by him borrowing flowers to offer Buddha? ”
Lin Ping'an knew that in the eyes of those scholars in the Donglin Party, Wei Zhongxian was just an illiterate eunuch, and he had no other skills at all except to pleases the emperor, let alone this kind of policy involving governing the country.
So he said: "Lord Yang is probably underestimating Wei Zhongxian, but in fact, he also has a lot to offer. ”
This sentence surprised Yang Lian very much, and at the same time, he began to worry about Lin Ping'an in his heart, he looked at Lin Ping'an and said seriously:
"Dean Lin first came to the capital, and he is not clear about many things, the so-called gentleman does not enter the room of the blistering ding, Dean Lin still needs to respect himself, the old man is all he says, and he wants to think twice."
Lin Ping'an knew that Yang Lian was for his own good, but as a traverser, from the perspective of history, Wei Zhongxian may not be as bad as Yang Lian saw it, but these words could not be said to Yang Lianming, so he could only give up:
"Lin Ping'an remembers Lord Yang's teachings!"
.
Walking out of Yang Lian's mansion gate, Lin Ping'an was stopped by three eunuchs before he could get into the carriage.
"Dean Kobayashi, you make our family easy to find."
The first eunuch directly grabbed Lin Ping'an and shouted.
Lin Ping'an didn't know the other party, but he saw that the other party was in his thirties, his face was quite square, his eyes were bright, and he didn't lower his eyes like ordinary eunuchs when he spoke, he asked later:
"Father-in-law?"
"Our family is high and diving."
The eunuch saluted Lin Ping'an and said:
"The queen summoned you to the palace, but I didn't expect you to run to Lord Yang, but it made it easy for our family to find it."
Lin Ping'an realized that the eunuch in front of him was the famous Gao Qiqian.
In history, Gao Qiqian is also a very famous eunuch, and he is one of the most trusted eunuchs of Emperor Chongzhen.
It is rumored that this person knew the army and knew the art of war, so the later Emperor Chongzhen asked him to be the supervisor.
Many of the supervisors during the Chongzhen period were served by eunuchs, who not only supervised the generals and the army, but also sometimes commanded without authorization.
Whether Gao Qiqian is really familiar with the art of war or not is not too much introduced in the history books, but judging from his life, most of this person is also a vain person.
Lin Ping'an returned the salute at Gao Qidive:
"Lord Yang is unwell, so he specially ordered someone to invite me to take a look."
"I see."
Gao Qiqian smiled and said: "Since you have finished reading it, then follow me back to Kunning Palace, the queen is still waiting." ”
Hearing this, Lin Ping'an was a little strange, and asked at Gao Qiqian:
"Father-in-law Gao, may I ask why the queen summoned me to the palace?"
Gao Qiqian shook his head: "This is not clear to our family. ”
When he arrived at the palace gate, Lin Ping'an got out of the sedan chair and walked all the way to Kunning Palace with Gao Qiqian and a few people, and he asked casually:
"Is Grandpa Gao also on an errand in Kunning Palace? Why didn't I see you last time? ”
"That's because our family is not lucky to see Dean Xiaolin."
Gao Qiqian was very good at talking and replied with a smile.
Lin Ping'an only knew that the other party was very trusted by Emperor Chongzhen in the future, but he really didn't know what role he was in this palace?
At this moment, since the other party's answer was ambiguous, he didn't bother to get to the bottom of it, and followed the other party into the Kunning Palace.
