12 Beacons
The four people in the banquet were all stunned for a moment by Lin Yan's sudden proposal to echo it, and they were stunned for a while before they came to their senses.
Lin Sheng rarely reveals his anger in front of his children, but this time he really couldn't bear it.
First of all, Lin Yan, who has done a good job in the Hanlin Academy in the past three or five years, has always obeyed his instructions, does not show his edge, does not expose his talents, and just does things in peace.
Who knew that this time there was an incident in the state, Lin Yan went directly to the saint and judged the solution to the disaster in the state. He had seen it, and it was clear and clear, talking deeply about the situation, and the words were to the point.
Even if he has assisted the Holy Lord in handling government affairs for many years, he may not be able to think about one thing so thoroughly, compared to the moderation style of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince today, if Lin Yan is really a prince, I am afraid that he may not be able to compete with Meng Huan...
Lin Lin Sheng sighed in his heart, but no matter how sorry it was, it was useless.
According to the palace people who served by the saint's side, the saint's attitude towards this was not clear, but he made a decree that Lin Yan would follow him and merge the state.
At this moment, Lin Yan can be regarded as pushing himself to the cusp of the most eye-catching storm in the upper capital. It will be jealous of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.
In the end, he watched him grow up, and the bowl of medicine every month already made him embarrassed, if Lin Yan died directly because of this incident, how could it be good.
Thinking of this, he didn't even bother to have dinner.
Anyway, there are still times when the father and son are separated, let alone him and Lin Yan.
Mrs. Lin on the other side also disagreed with this proposal: "Susu, and the boundary of the state, there are people who eat people, and the girl's house is very dangerous there, so don't go." ”
"Besides, I was originally discussing with Jing'an's mother about marrying you next month, how can you do it if you are not there?"
"If you are really depressed, after you get married, you will let Shen Shizi take you to Wu County, and A-Niang will no longer care about you." Mrs. Lin spoke bitterly and wanted Lin Ningsu to change her mind.
Lin Ningsu sat there quietly with a small face, refusing to give in at all.
Shen Jing'an on the side wanted to continue to persuade a few words, but he was an outsider in the end, so it was not easy to put too much beak. Moreover, I don't know if it's his delusion. There is always an illusion that if he says one more word, the eyes of the brother and sister can sangle him together.
Do you have to go to this state?
Shen Jing'an, who didn't know the secret, could only shake his head, thinking about persuading Lin Ningsu in private another day.
"You don't have to use this dinner, you two, go to the ancestral hall and kneel, don't get up without my consent!"
This farce ended with Father Lin's anger and Lin's family rules, Lin Ningsu moved reluctantly, she looked up at Lin Yan who was walking in front, this person seemed to be nothing, but his attitude was flat.
The sky was dark, and Lin Yan's back blended into the night as thick as deep ink. Lin Ningsu blinked, almost unable to see clearly, she hurriedly followed, and the warm light of the lantern shone on the two of them, instantly peeling away the darkness.
Lin Yan paused and looked slightly sideways at the slender figure beside him. Then, with his long arm, he put his long arm around the girl's shoulder.
"Let's go."
Lin Yan rarely smiled, and in his previous life, he was even more cold-faced after Lin Ningsu showed his heart. But if this person laughs, he is really as warm as spring, and can melt the ice of years.
Lin Ningsu was infected by this smile, although there is a long way to go in this life, it seems that he has seen the harmony of his brother and sister in advance, and the scene of a family reunion for a lifetime. It turns out that just by making the right choice, can you be so happy?
Under the lamplight, she raised a smile and said sweetly: "Brother." ”
At this moment, she was faintly excited in her heart, ignoring the sickness and madness under Lin Yan's smile. She didn't know that there was some darkness that could not be illuminated by the light of fireflies. It is necessary to sacrifice all the flesh and bones and burn the essence and blood before you can peek into a corner.
After many generations, the ancestral hall of the Lin family has also been renovated magnificently, and countless rankings are stacked on top of each other, like a pair of perceptive eyes, so that those who make mistakes sincerely repent.
But Lin Ningsu felt that he had done nothing wrong, and reluctantly knelt on the ground.
"Brother, why do you support me to go to Bingzhou with you?" Lin Ningsu was puzzled by this, and it was clear that she cried in her previous life and made the Lin Mansion upside down, and this person didn't help her say a word.
"Although the state is chaotic, it is also suitable for grinding. As you said, it's good to see the world. Lin Yan blurted out.
"Oh."
After speaking, the empty ancestral hall fell silent, except for the sound of falling rain hitting the bricks.
Lin Ningsu looked sideways and saw that Lin Yan had his eyes closed, not knowing what he was thinking. Father will not be discouraged for a while, this long night is long, she wants to talk about something to pass the time, but she doesn't know how to speak.
In the past, she took the initiative to get along with the two of them, and two of the three sentences were openly and secretly confiding in love. Now that she has found some normal feelings between brothers and sisters, she doesn't know what to say.
Talk about what Lin Yan is interested in?
"Brother, I heard that this time I will go to Bingzhou, and Miss Ruan will also accompany me." Lin Ningsu said.
Hearing this, Lin Yan opened his eyes and looked at her.
Sure enough, Ruan Qing is a good envoy.
"I heard that she wants to go to Cangzhou to visit her grandmother, and she has also set off in recent days, but now that there is chaos outside, she is not very safe as a girl, so she will set off with the Qi auxiliary army." Lin Ningsu explained.
Lin Yan's eyes narrowed slightly, and he asked, "I haven't heard of this, how do you know?" ”
She was momentarily speechless when asked, forgetting that this man was now the superintendent of the counterinsurgency army... Meng Huan may not have had time to inform Lin Yan yet.
"I...."
Lin Yan's tone suddenly turned cold, and said, "You went out today to see His Royal Highness the Prince." He was very sure that he was not asking Lin Ningsu.
But when she went out, she clearly reported that she was going out to buy fat powder. How did this man know...
As if knowing what she was thinking, Lin Yan continued: "Today I am also listening to the Yulou meeting friends. ”
Lin Ningsu secretly blamed herself for being too imprudent, she thought for a moment and then said: "Today is invited by His Royal Highness the Prince, today Miss Ruan Qing always came to the Lin Mansion to have a small gathering with me, he came to ask me... Miss Nguyen Thanh's preference. ”
It may be useful to lie to other people, but in front of Lin Yan, she really has nowhere to hide. It's normal to tell the truth at the moment, not to mention that it's not something to hide in itself.
"He said that he wanted to give Miss Ruan Qing some things before leaving, saying that he would leave a thought before leaving." Lin Ningsu pretended to guess, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is a little strange like this, he shouldn't be admiring Miss Ruan..."
It was a good thing to let Lin Yan know about this potential enemy earlier, maybe she wouldn't need her to guard against Meng Huan, a secret enemy.
Lin Yan responded lightly and motioned for her to continue.
"After that, I suggested that Miss Ruan should go with her, in case she encountered bandits on the way."
Lin Yan chuckled.
"Brother, aren't you happy that Miss Ruan is with you?" Lin Ningsu felt that this person was weird, and she couldn't say it.
"Why, I rejoice." After finishing speaking, Lin Yan closed his eyes again.
Lin Ningsu nodded, calmed down, and did not continue the topic.
The hours were getting late, and she thought that the energy of her teenage years was unlimited, and she would not get tired no matter how she tossed. I didn't think about it, but when I knelt down to be ugly, I couldn't support it and fell asleep.
When she opened her eyes again, it was the next morning, and she was still in the ancestral hall, but she was pillowed on Lin Yan's lap, covered with an exaggerated coat, and there were two soft cushions under her that she didn't know where to go.
Her back hurt, and she got up slowly: "....brother." ”
It seems that my father was really angry this time, and really let them stay in the ancestral hall all night.
Lin Yan didn't sleep all night, and his eyes were faintly blue.
"Brother, go and rest for a while, father won't blame you." As soon as she finished speaking, Yun Luan rushed in from outside the ancestral hall.
The little girl said happily: "Girl, eldest son, the master let you get up." ”
"Girl, go back quickly, you must not have rested well all night here."
Lin Ningsu grabbed the corner of his clothes, knelt there again, and said: "If I don't go back, you will go back to my father for me, if he doesn't allow me to go to the state, I will kneel and die in the ancestral hall without eating or drinking." ”
Yun Luan was stunned, her girl had never suffered since she was a child, and she was usually tired of copying house rules, but how could she be so determined today.
Sure enough, the girl was thinking about her brother in her heart, and wanted to go to Bingzhou with the eldest son, Yun Luan thought.
"Yes, girl."
Lin Sheng felt sorry for her daughter, and although she was so angry that she almost vomited out a mouthful of old blood, she reluctantly agreed.
It's really the opposite, in the past, there was a Lin Yan who could control Lin Ningsu for him, but now it's good...
Lin Lin Sheng didn't dwell on this matter for long, because there was also a big mess in the frontier.
Ruan Zhuguo was fighting with the Di people in Mobei, and the Xiqiang State took advantage of the fire to rob and overhauled an important city on the border between Meng and Xiqiang-Qianwu Pass.
The civil strife in this state is still burning, and the outside has not stopped, if it were not for the east but the ocean, the country of Meng would be leaking on all sides.
Although the army and food are still sufficient, there are not many military generals available in the DPRK and China, either they are mediocre and incompetent in a battle related to the life and death of the Meng State, or they are too young to serve the army.
Among these mean-spirited people, there is Shen Jingan's father, Zhen Yuanhou, General Zhenyuan. The ancestors of the Shen family were loyal and martyred, laid down the country for Emperor Zu, and was made a marquis. But the Shen family's military talents seem to have been exhausted in the generation of Emperor Zu, and there are no more powerful people in the descendants.
Although Shen Jing'an's father is sincere, he can use soldiers as generals....can only say that he can fight some painless small battles.
No, I heard that Zhen Yuanhou asked for his life three times in a row, but was rejected by the saint.
In the end, it was Ruan Zhuguo who recommended a person to the Holy Lord to fight in Qianwu Pass.
That person was Xu Rong.
Xu Rong is young, and it is really difficult to convince the public to entrust this important task, and the ministers oppose it. But in the current case of His Majesty, Ruan Zhuguo's words are like the holy decree of the first emperor.
However, Ruan Zhuguo was not wrong, Xu Rong won this battle, and Qianwuguan won a big victory with less, and Xiqiang did not dare to commit it after three or four years.
Lin Ningsu felt funny when he thought about it, but it was a pity that this person didn't get along with his sister Ruan for a few days, and he was transferred out of Beijing again.
Xu is can't talk to people behind her back, she is happy, Xu Rong came to her, I don't know what happened.
