The students in the backyard were very excited at the moment, Lin Ping'an's words made them feel enthusiastic, and many people began to ask themselves in their hearts:

"What is the purpose of reading?"

"What can I do for this country?"

"How can you be considered a useful person like the dean's mouth?"

While thinking about it, everyone talked softly, seeing Lin Ping'an walking down the high platform and rushing towards the corner of the academy, many people suddenly stretched their necks, wanting to see who that person was, and who could make their dean so urgent.

"King Xin, that's King Xin!"

The students who were close screamed softly, and the voices were very excited, and the bold students quietly approached, and after a while, exciting news came.

"His Royal Highness King Xin actually wants to worship the dean as a teacher and study with us in this academy!"

The news suddenly spread throughout the backyard like wings, causing an uproar in the entire backyard.

"King Xin, that's the emperor's own brother!"

Someone shouted.

"Yes, it seems that our dean is really hidden, and he has impressed His Royal Highness King Xin!"

"You say, if we see King Xin in the future, will we call His Royal Highness King Xin, or will we call him Senior?"

"You don't understand this? There is no elder in front of learning, of course, he is called a senior! ”

"I'll go, then won't I have the same friendship with His Royal Highness King Bei in the future, if I say it, I'm afraid I won't envy other people!"

Everyone talked softly, but they saw Lin Ping'an and the others hurriedly walking out of the backyard, and suddenly couldn't stop guessing in their hearts, which big guy is coming?

Today's opening ceremony can be described as a twist and turn, at this moment the guests are more than half gone, but this ceremony has to continue.

At this moment, Jiang Xingzhou and the others were a little depressed, and they had already been confused, almost forgetting that this ceremony had not yet been completed.

Looking at the appearance of a few people, Lin Ping'an knew that no matter how much he comforted, it was useless, so he could only set his eyes on Hua Fangfang.

Hua Fangfang smiled slightly, beckoned to Jiang Xingzhou and the others, and waited until a few people came to him, and then said:

"Lin Ping'an has an old relationship with Dolgon, His Majesty has known about this matter for a long time, so you don't have to worry."

Hearing the words of the flowers, Jiang Xingzhou and the others immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

Lin Ping'an said that it was okay, they only thought that they were deliberately comforting themselves, and Hua Fangfang said that it was okay, then it must be really fine!

The four of them suddenly let out a long breath, and their spirits came back in an instant, and they saluted the flowers, and immediately turned around and returned to the backyard to continue to preside over the unfinished opening ceremony.

"It's still your old man's words."

Lin Ping'an sighed, came to the front of the flowers, and still asked with some concern:

"Lord Dean, this matter is really going to be fine, right?"

Hua Fangfang did not answer this question, but asked with a shallow smile:

"Do you still think that Dorgon is your brother?"

Lin Ping'an didn't think about it for too long, but nodded quickly, and he said very seriously at the flowers:

"Since I kowtowed and swore an oath, of course he is my brother."

Hearing this, Hua Fangfang nodded slightly, and asked again:

"If he meets on the battlefield, what will you do with this brother?"

Lin Ping'an's eyes showed a look of determination, and he said without hesitation:

"If he dies, I will collect his body and guard the soul, if I die, I will do the same."

A hint of brilliance shot out of Yan Xiaoxiao's eyes, and she glanced at Lin Ping'an with a hint of strangeness, it seemed that it was hard to imagine that such a sentence would come from the mouth of such a young man.

Nangong Cheng on the side couldn't help but admire:

"It's good, the eldest husband stands up to the sky, when the grievances are clear, if you can think like this, Your Majesty will definitely not blame you."

.

On the second day, the impeachment of Lin Ping'an flew like snowflakes on the imperial case in the imperial study, looking at this thick stack of folds, Wei Zhongxian smiled bitterly.

So he could only follow the old method, picking up Zhu Youxiao's carpentry work when it was most important, and said the content of these movements.

He tried his best to say it lightly, originally thought that the emperor would be angry when he heard this kind of thing, but he didn't expect Zhu Youxiao's attitude to be more contemptuous than him.

I see. ”

Zhu Youxiao only said four words, and then buried himself in his carpentry work.

Wei Zhongxian secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and thought silently in his heart:

"Lin Ping'an, Lin Ping'an, our family can only do this, if Yang Lian's old dogs want to bite you, then our family can't do anything."

With Wei Zhongxian's understanding of Yang Lian and others, this matter will never stop there.

Sure enough, on the third day of the court meeting, Yang Lian was the first to jump out.

This old gentleman has always had no room for sand in his eyes, and when he saw countless impeachment notes of Lin Ping'an flying into the palace, but he didn't react like a stone sinking into the sea, he suddenly felt that Wei Zhongxian must be doing something wrong, since this is the case, then ask His Majesty in person today.

With the emergence of Yang Lian, Zuo Guangdou, Gu Dazhang and others, the most bizarre officials above the Ming Dynasty also jumped out.

The reason why these officials are called strange is because they are really strange.

There is a rule in the Ming Dynasty, that is, the speaker is not guilty, in other words, it is okay to say whatever you say, even if you scold the emperor, the emperor can only endure it, even if you want to settle accounts, you can only secretly find opportunities in the future, and it is impossible to pull it out and cut it in person.

Of course, some emperors have a big temper, and sometimes they are really scolded in a hurry, and they will give dozens of boards to the officials.

However, in the eyes of the officials, it is an incomparably glorious thing to be able to suffer from the emperor's board because of his righteous speech, and it can be blown for a lifetime.

Therefore, they are not afraid of being hit by the board, and even look forward to being hit by the board, which also creates the scruples of the officials.

At the beginning, the officials were better and could talk about things, but in the later period of the Ming Dynasty, these people were completely looking for trouble, but as long as they could catch a little bit of trouble, it would definitely be a big play, it didn't matter if there was evidence or not, as long as they could scold, it would be cool.

Therefore, at this moment, the court was spitting everywhere, and the impeachment of Lin Ping'an was overwhelming, and some people even touched the ground with their heads, and asked Zhu Youxiao to severely punish Lin Ping'an with tears.

Wei Zhongxian's heart hung up, but he couldn't help it, it was okay to say anything else, this kind of affair after the gold matter was a matter of principle, if he interceded for Lin Ping'an, he would definitely get angry.

So he could only watch, even if he was in a hurry, he was helpless.

Shi Fenglai's face was extremely ugly, he knew that the emperor in front of him had never been assertive, and in the face of such a large-scale impeachment, he was afraid that he would immediately order Lin Ping'an to be thrown into prison.

"If that's the case, then the old man's reputation in this life will be ruined!"

He sighed silently in his heart, everyone in the world knows that Lin Ping'an wrote a poem specifically for him, and it was passed on as a good story, but now that this poet has become a national thief who fornicated with Houjin, then this is not a good story, but a shame nailed to him.

Zhu Youxiao on the dragon chair watched everyone's performance expressionlessly, and he could finally understand the helplessness and boredom of his ancestors in the face of these officials.

"Being an emperor is really an annoying thing, how can it compare to my quiet enjoyment of carpentry work in the carpentry room."

He thought silently in his heart, trying his best to suppress the boredom in his heart.

After a while, the voice in the hall finally quieted down, and what the officials wanted was to reason and argue with the emperor, but not to sing a one-man show endlessly by themselves.

So the courtiers all looked at Zhu Youxiao on the dragon chair, waiting for the emperor's mouth.

Zhu Youxiao finally spoke, but his words made everyone dumbfounded.

"Lin Ping'an and Dolgon have an old relationship, I have known about this matter for a long time, this is a family matter, not enough to mention, the ministers don't have to make a fuss."

Hearing this, Yang Lian suddenly exclaimed:

"Your Majesty is confused, how can this matter be considered a trivial matter, Lin Ping'an is the director of the Tai Hospital, and was given the lieutenant of Fengguo by His Majesty, and now after fornication, people and gods are angry, I hope that Your Majesty will be clear, Jiang Ning Ping'an will copy the family and ask for beheading, in order to respect You!"

Yang Lian's voice fell, and the rest of the people knelt down in hula, shouting in unison:

"Look at Your Majesty Mingjian!"

Zhu Youxiao looked at everyone coldly, a subtle sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he asked in a deep voice:

"Yang Lian, since you said that he fornicated with Houjin, is there any evidence?"

"A few days ago, at the opening ceremony of the Bamboo Forest Academy, Dolgon sent someone to send a cart of gifts, all of which were gold, silver, jewelry, antiques and jade, as well as specialties from Liaodong."

Yang Lian hurriedly said, and then pointed to a few people behind him with his finger: "What everyone saw with their own eyes that day is the truth. ”

Zhu Youxiao nodded, but a sneer came out of his mouth, and he said slowly:

"Is there still less gold, silver, jewelry, antique jade, and those Liaodong specialties that flow into my Ming Dynasty from Liaodong? Presumably, your house must also be indispensable to those Liaodong specialties, if you just say that Lin Ping'an fornicated with Houjin, then can you also be charged with fornication after gold on the top of your head? ”

Speaking of this, his tone became more and more stern, and he said with a chill in his tone:

"There is also a lot of wood in my carpentry workshop taken from Liaodong, do you think that I also fornicated with Houjin?"

These words were a bit strong, obviously a change of concept, Yang Lian was the first to react, and shouted in his mouth:

"Your Majesty, that's not the same, even if those specialties in Liaodong are available in our house, they were bought with real gold and silver, but now these things were given to Lin Ping'an by Dolgon, and the two should not be confused."

The rest of the people immediately reacted, and for a while, there was chaos on the main hall.

Zhu Youxiao changed color and said gloomily:

"There is no need to discuss this matter, the Ming Dynasty is a state of etiquette, Lin Ping'an is just a child, it is normal to receive some gifts with people, the ministers are so embarrassed by him, are they not afraid of being laughed at?"

This is naked protection, everyone looked at each other in amazement, and they couldn't speak for a while.

Yang Lian sighed heavily, he really didn't understand, how could the emperor end such a major event so rashly, could it be that there was another hidden meaning in it?

Wei Zhongxian hehe, he didn't expect today's Zhu Youxiao to be so rigid, which was extremely rare in the past.

So he immediately went out and said:

"Your Majesty is wise, Guan Yu and Zhang Liao were their masters back then, and even met each other, but this does not prevent the friendship between the two, even if Lin Ping'an has an old relationship with Dolgon, it is also a private relationship, as long as he does not abolish the public with his own interests, the old slave thinks it is no big deal."

Wei Zhongxian hasn't read much, but he loves to listen to stories, and he can't put it down for this novel that was written in the late Yuan Dynasty and early Ming Dynasty.

Zhu Youxiao's face softened, he felt that Wei Zhongxian knew him best, and the rest of the people sneered at Wei Zhongxian's face, but there was no way at all.

Yang Lian reined in his mind and knew that it would be useless to talk about this matter, so he said again to Zhu Youxiao:

"Your Majesty, the minister still has something to do."

Zhu Youxiao nodded, but listened to Yang Lian continue:

"On that day in the Bamboo Forest Academy, His Royal Highness King Xin wanted to worship Lin Ping'an as a teacher, and the minister thought that this matter was inconsistent with the etiquette and law, and he must not mess with the rules!"

Yang Lian is right, in the Ming Dynasty, all teachers who can become the children of the royal family are one in a million, and they are generally selected from the people who have passed the imperial examination.

At the level of Lin Ping'an, he does not have this qualification at all.

When Zhu Youxiao heard this, he thought about it, and asked Yang Lian very strangely:

"Who does King Xin worship as a teacher, and what does it have to do with me?"

Yang Lian was choked for a moment, and when he was about to say a few more words, he saw Zhu Youxiao stand up with a flick of the sleeves of his robe, and the eunuch beside him immediately screamed: "Retreat!" ”

Zhu Youxiao left, and everyone in the court looked at each other, today's Zhu Youxiao made them feel a little strange, and they also felt deep doubts.

What is strange is that the usual Zhu Youxiao will never be as tough as he is today, and he wonders why this emperor will become so tough when it comes to Lin Ping'an?
