Traitor and Concubine Quan

The next day, Lin Pin with a high crown and hair, wearing a dark red official robe, and exquisite gold-rimmed boots, came to the side hall of the Hall of Announcements, which he hadn't visited for a long time.As soon as I stepped into the toilet hall, I felt that the people inside suddenly became quiet.

Lin Pin admired the panic on the faces of this group of people, and smiled contemptuously, "Masters, don't worry about me, just continue talking about whatever you need to talk about." After finishing speaking, he moved towards an empty mahogany chair Walk up, lift up the hem and sit comfortably, looking like a big Buddha.

The emperor was often late in the early morning, and all the ministers would wait in the side hall. Before Lin Pin came, they were still talking fiercely, but now seeing Lin Pin suddenly appear, everyone was terrified, fearing that they would accidentally offend this treacherous minister .

Among these courtiers who are qualified to meet the emperor, there is one who has just been promoted from the local government, Lang Wenjing from the fifth-rank Hanlin. pin.

At this moment, Wen Jing was secretly surprised. He felt that Lin Pin's appearance was delicate and handsome, and he didn't seem like a treacherous villain.He felt even more strange that these people would be so afraid of Lin Pin. In his opinion, Lin Pin was just a scribe, not some ferocious tiger or wolf, so there was no need to shy away from him.

But fortunately, Wen Jing only let this idea pass in his mind for a while, and did not put it into practice, otherwise his years of hard study and hard work in the local area would all be in vain.

Others didn't dare to look directly at Lin Pin, and Wen Jing only took a sneak peek and then hurriedly stared at the toes of his boots.Lin Pin's eyes were too gloomy and terrifying.She is obviously looking at you with a smile, but there seems to be a sharp blade with a dark light hidden in her eyes, if he takes a look at it, it is like being scraped by a knife.

Wen Jing clenched his fists, feeling a little unwilling in his heart.Obviously Lin Pin is about the same age as himself, and he may even be younger than himself, but why is he still a fifth-rank Hanlin idler, while the other party is already a dignified first-rank envoy who holds the power of ten governments and twelve realms? ? !

Most of the officials present were of a lower rank than Lin Pin, and even those who were on the same level as her were all old men with white beards and white hair.They bowed their backs, respectful in front of Lin Pin, a high-spirited young man.

Lin Pin seemed to have gotten used to these people's humiliation. He sat on the wooden chair and took a sip of tea leisurely. Then he raised his starry eyes and said after the steaming mist of the hot tea, "Master Song, when I came in, you seemed to be Talk about the new nobleman?"

Song Yi who was named was Wai Lang, a member of the Ministry of Rites, about thirty years old.Hearing this, his thin body trembled suddenly, and then stepped forward to consider, "Master Lin, it seems that His Majesty likes this new nobleman very much..."

Lin Pin put down the teacup and asked casually, "How do you see it?"

Song Yi heard that his voice suddenly sank, cold sweat broke out on his back, and he said tremblingly, "Your Majesty is not spying on the Holy Will, but you don't know about it, Mr. Lin. During these days when you are not in the court, Your Majesty will It was very early and came early. His Majesty's postponement today may be related to the nobleman who entered the palace last night."

Lin Pin sneered, "Last night, a nobleman entered the palace. How did you know it? Mr. Song kept saying that he never wanted to spy on the Holy Will, but in fact he had already been observing His Majesty. Mr. Song, how could His Majesty's movements be caused by you and me?" Can you figure it out? Are you still not guilty?!" Her ending sound gradually increased, and at the end it was a severe reprimand, which made people shudder.

Song Yi gasped for breath, panicked in his heart, kneeled on the ground as soon as his legs softened, and said with cold sweat on his forehead, "Master Lin, I have been wronged by you! That nobleman made a lot of noise when he entered the palace, and almost everyone knew about it. It's definitely not that the officer is secretly watching His Majesty's actions!"

"Oh?" Lin Pin raised his eyebrows, his cold eyes swept aimlessly across the faces of everyone present, and asked, "My lords, is what Master Song said true?"

Song Yi looked around with hope, but no one dared to say anything, whether it was Goulou Hou Tanye who was still talking to him just now, or the third-rank Xiaoqi general Liu Feibing, or Sun Jin who had just been crowned king with a different surname. intercede.

Seeing their stiff expressions, Song Yi's heart suddenly turned cold: It seems that these people will never open their mouths to intercede for themselves.It's no wonder, they are all smart people, knowing that Lin Pin is going to deliberately kill himself, who would come forward and lose their lives in vain?

Song Yi clenched his fists, secretly regretting helping Cui Sheng to match up, he is a member of the Ministry of Rites, so he has the right to tell the emperor whether it is in line with the ancestral rituals to accept this nobleman, and whether last night was a good day or not.It seems that the fact that he helped Cui Sheng has been exposed, Lin Xiao wants to get rid of himself this time and then quickly.

Wen Jing was also among the silent ones, he was not a fool, so he naturally saw that it was Song Yi that Lin Pin was going to deal with today.But at the same time, he also felt terrified, deeply suppressed and terrified by Lin Pin's intimidating spirit.

Why does a person who looks so quiet and elegant have such a vicious heart? !Could the Son of Heaven really indulge him to such an absurd level? !

Everyone held their breath and concentrated, wishing they could find a hole to slip in to avoid Lin Pin's quiet revenge on Song Yi.

But Lin Pin got up silently and walked in front of Song Yi. Song Yi knelt on the ground, he could see Lin Pin's boots embroidered with gold trim, and he could also see the hem of Lin Pin's dark red official uniform.

Song Yi's heart trembled, and he felt his whole body trembling even more violently.

Hearing Lin Pin's voice sounded like it came from hell, she sighed, "I don't think Mr. Song's complexion is very good. Why don't I ask the emperor for leave today on Mr. Song's behalf, instead of waiting for the court?"

Song Yi's face was ashen, and he knelt upright in front of Lin Pin, the blood on his lips had disappeared, and his whole body seemed to have lost his soul.

"I heard that Mrs. Song has a wife as beautiful as a flower, and a daughter who is seven or eight years old and looks very handsome... At this moment, the wife and miss should be basking in the sun at the house, right?"

Song Yi's lips were trembling, and he suddenly raised his head and shouted loudly, "Lin Pin, don't bully me too much! Don't you even want to let go of my little girl?!"

Seeing this, everyone secretly thought it was bad!Song Yi scolded Lin Pin so violently, how could this traitor let him go!

Lin Pin was silent for a moment, and smiled more cruelly, "Master Song, listen to my advice, go back and rest today."

When Song Yi raised his head, his eyes were bloodshot, his appearance was terrifying and pitiful.Lin Pin gave him a cold look, then sat down on the mahogany chair with his sleeves thrown back.

Song Yi was in collusion with Cui Sheng when she was not around, and he was even more ambitious. They tried to depose him in front of the emperor and make him fall out of favor.Now Cui Sheng has been imprisoned, but Song Yi is still outside. Although he has pleaded for Cui Sheng in front of the emperor, he can't be completely relieved after all. Take it easy.

Wenjing watched Song Yi being bullied by Lin Pin, and a raging fire of anger ignited in his heart.He only knew that Lin Pin was threatening him with Song Yi's wife and daughter, but he didn't know that it was Song Yi and Cui Sheng who conspired against Lin Pin first.

Song Yi finally walked out of the side hall silently, leaving behind a dejected figure.

Pang Deng, who replaced Cui Sheng as the new chief eunuch, came to Xuanzhi at this time, but it was quite strange to see the preoccupied looks of the people in the side hall.But when his round eyes saw Lin Pin who was sitting on the mahogany chair inside, he trembled all over. He didn't dare to look at Lin Pin, and hurriedly avoided her sight, then cleared his throat and said sharply: "Your Majesty has a decree, not to go to court early today!"

Lin Pin snorted and walked towards Pang Deng slowly while everyone was watching. When he passed Pang Deng shoulder to shoulder, he asked softly in his ear, "Where is Your Majesty?"

Pang Deng replied, "In the Chengxuan Palace, His Majesty ordered Master Lin to meet him alone."

Lin Pin nodded, and walked past Pang Deng calmly.Pang Deng turned around and looked at Lin Pin's leaving back, still feeling terrified.Turning his head to look at the high-ranking officials and officials in this room, seeing the panic on their faces, Pang Deng shook his head, he could understand their thoughts in his heart.

There is a crazy and moody emperor on the top, and a brutal and powerful official like Lin Pin on the bottom. These so-called high-ranking officials in the court are actually lambs waiting to be slaughtered, suffering unspeakably.

Wen Jing endured it, he finally understood what it means to be a powerful official and what is a traitorous official.Now that the emperor has announced that he will not have to go to court early, he can leave this depressing palace earlier.But when he was about to leave, he didn't see a colleague leave.

Hou Tanye of Julou was a man who cherished talents. Seeing that Wenjing was going to leave recklessly, he kindly reminded him, "Wen Hanlin, you might not know it on the first day you came, and you can't leave now."

"Why?"

Julouhou said with a wry smile, "This is not the first time the emperor has done such a thing. If you really leave now, maybe he will come later, and you are limited to return to the court within a quarter of an hour, otherwise you will be rewarded." Die. Ye Zhu Shi Ye Hanlin died in this way before. If it wasn't for him, you wouldn't have this opportunity to enter the palace."

Wenjing was startled, "How could this be?!" Only now did he realize that he was really going deep into the tiger's den, and he was desperate to retreat!

"Not only that, didn't the emperor always arrive earlier in the morning? He is waiting for someone. It is said that before leaving the palace, the emperor will draw a number to draw lots. Whoever arrives in the order of this number will be shot by the emperor. he."

Wen Jing's complexion was ashen, and he was completely bloodless from the emperor's violence.

At this time, a young man wearing a dark python robe walked in. This man had a handsome appearance, three-dimensional features, a straight nose with a slightly hooked nose.Bright and starry eyes, good manners.He looks quite kind, and there is always a faint smile on the corner of his mouth.

He was followed by a young man who was also very impressive.It is pleasing to the eye.

When the people in the hall saw the man in the python robe, they all showed joy and bowed in unison, "I have seen His Royal Highness the Jade King!"
