The boss of the end of the world wears a red building, if you don't agree, just hold it

The ministers discussed over and over but could not come to any conclusion. The emperor was worried about Lin Chengyu and was very annoyed. He was impatient to listen to them arguing. Just as he was about to adjourn the court, an urgent message arrived from the border eight hundred miles away.

For a moment, all the ministers waited in silence, and the hall was rarely so quiet.

After reading the letter, the emperor's expression turned from gloomy to cheerful, and he was comforted. He said to Lin Ruhai: "My dear, you have given birth to a good son."

Lin Ruhai had already guessed the contents of the letter. After the emperor said this, he was even more certain. However, he still pretended to be stupid and asked, "Why does the emperor say that?"

The emperor just smiled and said nothing, "Look for yourself."

Eunuch Wu was very observant. He knew what the emperor was going to do as soon as he saw the emperor's move. He didn't even need the eunuch to do it. He stepped forward, took the letter, and handed it to Lin Ruhai.

After Lin Ruhai finished reading it, a look of sudden enlightenment appeared on his face, and he said helplessly: "Why didn't this kid say anything?"

The emperor glanced at the ministers who were puzzled and said with a smile, "Marquis Ning'an is really my right-hand man. I was just talking about him, but who would have thought that he had already gone to the border. No wonder Minister Lin couldn't find him. He was just quietly doing important things."

When the people below heard this, they were immediately shocked.

It turns out that Marquis Ning'an didn't hide that day. I can't believe that he is so brave and courageous at such a young age.

Among the ministers, several people who had just accused Lin Chengyu were swept by the mocking eyes around them intentionally or unintentionally. Their faces had already turned red, and they just wanted to find a crack in the ground to crawl into.

The one who felt the most ashamed was no one else except the Prince of Nan'an.

Lin Ruhai listened to the flattering words from others with a normal expression.

"My dear gentlemen, thank you for your compliments. My troublesome son has been spoiled since he was a child. He has a strange temper and his ideas are also very stubborn. I can't control him at all."

"He went to the border alone this time, and he didn't even tell his parents or relatives at home. I think that's really ridiculous."

"When he comes back, he must be severely punished."

As he spoke, a helpless look appeared on his face again, and he seemed to be really angry, causing others to complain in their hearts.

If any family had a son as ambitious as Ning'an Hou, they would wake up laughing in their dreams. But Lin Ruhai is still not satisfied and says these things.

They thought about their own son who was of the same age as Marquis Ning'an, but now he only knew how to fool around and have fun, and hadn't made any progress at all. It was really frustrating to compare oneself with others.

The emperor laughed out loud and said, "There is probably no other child as good as Chengyu in the world. Lord Lin, you should let go and let him fly high."

Lin Ruhai said, "Chengyu is willful to begin with. If he hears what the emperor said, he will probably become even more lawless. The emperor should stop praising him."

However, the emperor's affection for Lin Chengyu was growing day by day. He was originally worried about who to send to the border to assist Xuan Zheng. His ministers were pushing and shoving each other, and he was very annoyed. However, he did not expect that the child went there on his own without saying a word.

It was worth Xuan Zheng’s kindness to him.

It's not in vain that I love him so much.

The emperor praised Lin Chengyu highly and even said that he would reward him again after a great victory at the border.

The ministers were all jealous. Ning Anhou was so young, but he had already been promoted to the rank of Marquis. And the Emperor wanted to reward him even more...

You can't give him the title of Duke, right?

The ministers thought that if the emperor really gave such a reward, they would still have to make a protest.

It's so disrespectful.

Since the founding of the country, Lin Chengyu is the youngest marquis. Could it be that he will become the youngest duke?

Wouldn't this make them seem rather useless?

The ministers each had their own thoughts, but none of them showed.

Moreover, the emperor might only reward the Lin family with some gold, silver, jewelry and the like. Although these things are more respectable, they are ultimately just external possessions and cannot provide any additional support to the Lin family.

The Lin family has a declining population, and there are only four masters in the mansion, but each of them is noble and respectable. If there were another duke, it would be really uncomfortable.

After the court session, the emperor asked Lin Ruhai to stay alone to talk. The ministers were not surprised, but they couldn't help feeling jealous.

I hope the emperor can speak to them so gently, that we can die without regrets.

But the emperor didn't keep Lin Ruhai just to talk, the most important thing was the game of chess that he hadn't finished last time.

Lin Ruhai originally thought that the emperor had asked him to stay for some important matter, and had cleared his mind and was ready to respond, but he saw the young eunuch bringing up a chessboard. Upon closer inspection, it seemed to be the same game that had not been completed last time.

Lin Ruhai couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth.

Is something wrong with you?

It's already this late, and the emperor is still in the mood to play chess. He really doesn't know what to say.

But he had to obey the king's order. What else could he do? He just continued.

The emperor enjoyed the game of chess very much. Apart from Xuan Zheng, that poor chess player, the only one who dared to play chess with him with all his strength was Lin Ruhai.

The last time he played chess with Lin Ruhai was a month and a half ago. There were too many things going on during this period, and the emperor had neither the time nor the mood, but he still asked someone to carefully keep the unfinished chess game.

The emperor said in a relaxed tone: "Chengyu is really my lucky star. As soon as he arrived at the border, Xuanzheng's injury healed a lot. The letter said that there is nothing serious. I can finally rest assured."

Lin Ruhai didn't dare to take such a big hat for Lin Chengyu, and hurriedly said modestly: "Prince Linhuai is in good health, because the emperor has taken good care of him. Chengyu just went there to accompany him and relieve his boredom."

The emperor liked to hear this. He liked to hear people say that Xuan Zheng was raised well by him. Moreover, since Lin Ruhai praised his child, he should also praise Lin Ruhai's child too, so that it would be considered a give and take.

After three moves, Lin Ruhai finally understood. Although the emperor didn't say it, he actually wanted him to praise Prince Linhuai, so he praised Chengyu first and then Daiyu, and then praised Chengyu, because he knew that he would praise him back.

But two grown men, talking all the time about children, seemed a bit boring. Lin Ruhai wanted to change the subject, but the emperor suddenly talked about Daiyu's marriage.

Lin Ruhai suddenly became alert. Daiyu was now a princess, and her marriage had changed from a family affair to a state affair. It was no longer something he and his wife could decide.

Is the emperor planning to randomly matchmake someone?

Lin Ruhai's heart tightened and he placed a chess piece absentmindedly, almost pricking up his ears to listen.

The emperor said: "I am not worried about Chengyu being a boy, but I must carefully consider Le'an's marriage and not let her suffer any injustice."

Lin Ruhai replied, "Your Majesty is right. I am also often worried about this matter. The princess's temperament is somewhat different from that of ordinary women. I am also afraid that she will meet the wrong person and suffer injustice in the future."

But every time he talked about this, Chengyu always had something to say, that women do not have only one way to go, which is to get married.

It would be best if you could meet someone who treats you sincerely.

If you don't meet the right person, there is no need to get married just for the sake of getting married.
