Chapter Ninety-Six: Su Jin'er Smells Incense and Becomes Suspicious (2)
Smelling this special fragrance, Su Jin'er felt strange in her heart.
Then she looked at Feng Liancheng, and she didn't move, still with a smile on her face.
Feng Liancheng accepted the gift, and then he said to Cui Liang: "Since Mrs. Lin wants to see this general's mansion, you can take Mrs. Lin to visit it." I'll discuss something with King Lin. β
"Yes. β
Cui Liang took Su Jin'er and the little boy out of the living room and led Su Jin'er to visit the General's Mansion.
Su Jin'er kept thinking about the faint fragrance she smelled from Feng Liancheng.
This fragrance is very familiar!
Only Lin Yi and Feng Liancheng were left in the living room, and Lin Yi asked, "General, since I received the news, I am honestly afraid." Why did the emperor summon me? Nothing big will happen, right?"
"This matter, whether it is big or not, whether it is small or not, depends on the emperor's mood. It's up to us to respond. Feng Liancheng said and took a sip of tea, and he continued: "Actually, this is the case. Lu Xiangye and I have always been at odds, and we have been fighting openly and secretly. A few days ago, Lu Xiangye entangled some officials, and Lianming impeached me. Fourteen sins are listed. There are really many crimes. What forcibly occupies people's houses, forces good people to become prostitutes, robs people's daughters, embezzles the army, secretly opens pawnshops and money shops, and competes with small people for profit. Also, it is to meddle in the affairs of the rivers and lakes, and help Lin Yi, the king of the southern realm, to unify the rivers and lakes and try to do wrong. β
Lin Yi didn't expect Lu Xiangye to list so many crimes to impeach Feng Liancheng.
Although Lin Yi doesn't understand the politics of the court, let alone the art of officialdom, he can see one thing that the most serious of these crimes listed by Lu Xiangye is meddling in the affairs of the rivers and lakes and plotting against him.
Since Lu Xiangye listed this article, it also shows that Lu Xiangye is secretly helping Qin Dingfang.
Lin Yi investigated, but did not say that it was broken.
He couldn't be too smart in front of Feng Liancheng.
Lin Yi pretended to be confused and said: "General, how can this be good for so many crimes! Also, how can this Lu Xiangye help Beifu speak?"
Feng Liancheng said: "You don't understand this. In fact, other crimes are just a few counts. The most important one is that I meddle in the affairs of the rivers and lakes and secretly help you plot against you. Later, I found out that Ximen Xuan in Beifu had visited Lu Xiangye. He still lives in Lu Mansion. It must be me secretly helping you, Qin Dingfang had to find a way to counteract. In the current dynasty, only Lu Xiangye had the ability to fight with me, so they did everything possible to catch the big ship of Lu Xiangye. Lu Xiangye must have gained a lot of benefits from this, and he can use this to challenge me, why wouldn't he do it. β
Lin Yi said: "I really didn't expect that Qin Dingfang would catch up with Lu Xiangye." General, I'm the one who has troubled you. β
Lin Yi said with guilt and eroticism.
Feng Liancheng's eyes showed resentment, which was a resentment towards Lu Xiangye.
Feng Liancheng said: "Lu Xiangye wants to kill me, it's not that easy. But with so many charges, of course I have to explain them to the emperor. Explaining the article of meddling in the affairs of the rivers and lakes, I told you the truth, saying that Qin Dingfang secretly colluded with the Western Regions, and when Qin Dingfang unified the rivers and lakes, that is, when the army of the Western Regions invaded, so I can only help you deal with Beifu. The emperor was very shocked when he heard it, and he summoned Lu Xiangye to ask for details. Of course, Lu Xiangye said that this was nonsense, and refuted it on the spot. The emperor was silent for a moment, and then said, "You are justified when you say that the public is reasonable, and the mother says that the mother is reasonable, and it is difficult for me to distinguish for a while." However, I have become interested in that Lin Yi and Qin Dingfang, and you have sent a message for me and ordered them to enter Beijing, and I want to meet them face to face......"
Feng Liancheng told Lin Yi in detail what happened.
Only then did Lin Yi understand why the emperor summoned him and Qin Dingfang.
Feng Liancheng said: "After you got the news, there were no extraneous branches, right?"
Lin Yi said: "No." On the way to Beijing, I also met Qin Dingfang, and we also stayed in an inn, and we were all safe. β
Feng Liancheng nodded.
"That's right. The emperor is now concerned about this matter, and he must be restrained for the time being. Otherwise, if you continue to make trouble, you will be slapped in the face of the saint. Then you become sinless and sinful. Everything else will be said after the consecration. Feng Liancheng taught Lin Yi again. "Don't be too panicked, be careful when you face the saint. And, like I said......"
Feng Liancheng and Lin Yi calculated how to deal with the emperor.
After discussion, Lin Yi said: "General, there is something I want to ask, but I dare not ask. β
Feng Liancheng said: "It's just you and me here, just ask." β
Lin Yi asked in a low voice, "Is the emperor the king of sage or the king of mediocrity?"
Lin Yi wanted to ask clearly, he also had a bottom in his heart.
Feng Liancheng said in a low voice: "How can I say it." The emperor is neither holy nor mediocre, neither shrewd, but also not a fool. Sometimes it's ridiculous and reckless. Once, he actually wore the clothes of a peddler, and learned how to set up a stall in the palace to sell vinegar, so that those palace maids and concubines and eunuchs dressed up as ordinary people to buy his vinegar, and let them drink the vinegar in front of them. As a result, more than 800 catties of vinegar, the palace maids, concubines and eunuchs who drank it were about to vomit out their bitter gall. Later, when I smelled vinegar, I was nauseous. β
Feng Liancheng couldn't help but laugh when he said this.
Lin Yi also smiled.
This emperor is ridiculous enough.
Feng Liancheng said: "In short, the emperor's mind is unpredictable, so deal with it when the time comes." Looking at this situation, he still wants to judge the 'case'. β
Lin Yi said: "General, when will the emperor summon us?"
Feng Liancheng said: "I will enter the court tomorrow and play the matter of your coming to Beijing to the emperor." As for when it will be summoned, I can't say for sure. Maybe soon, maybe ten and a half days, maybe a month or two. Last year, on a whim, he urgently summoned a state official who was good at raising dogs to Beijing and asked him how to raise dogs. As a result, the state official entered Beijing, and he was not in a hurry, and only summoned the state official a month later. β
Lin Yi smiled bitterly when he heard this, if this emperor was not in a hurry to see him, wouldn't he have to spend it in this capital.
Lin Yi still has something to ask Feng Liancheng.
When he came to Beijing this time, he also wanted to check on that Mr. Gong.
And General Jiang, who protected Mr. Gong at the beginning, is the clue.
Lin Yi said: "There is something to ask the general, is there a general Jiang in the court?"
Lin Yi also described the appearance of General Chiang.
Feng Liancheng listened to Lin Yi's description and immediately said, "The person you are talking about is Lu Xiangye's person. It's called Jiang Jing. Why did you ask about this man?"
Lin Yi used the excuse he had thought of to deal with the past.
After Lin Yi and Feng Liancheng finished talking, it was already dusk.
Fengliancheng stayed with Lin Yi and Su Jin'er for dinner, but Lin Yi was not at ease and wanted to return, so he politely refused.
Lin Yi and the three of them left the General's Mansion and returned to the inn.
At this moment, the remnant sun of winter is sprinkled on the red bricks and blue tiles passing by, and sprinkled on the eaves of those pavilions, adding a meteorological atmosphere to the grand Beijing Division.
Lin Yi found that Su Jin'er frowned, Shi Er groaned, Shi Er had questions, and his expression changed very richly.
Lin Yi quipped: "Madam, seeing you like this reminds me of the goddess who wants to sΓ©ance." Madame, are you going to sΓ©e too?"
Su Jin'er said: "You are a ghost." Xiaolinzi, there is something that is more and more wrong the more I think about it!"
