[Red Mansions] Lord Hou's daily routine

Lin Jian chuckled, and directly rejected Ying Tianyi's request because he didn't have enough time.

"Sir, there is no need to say this, sir, you will know it when you look back."

After saying that, Lin Jian directly blew out the candles placed in front of him and Ying Tianyi, then stretched out his hand to support Ying Tianyi to go out, and wanted to go to the court hall with Ying Tianyi to attend the court meeting.

Ying Tianyi knew that if he couldn't ask now, he wouldn't be able to ask in the future.He also knew that Lin Jian didn't want him to get involved in these matters. Thinking about Lin Jian's usual attitude, Ying Tianyi had no choice but to stop asking, but he still cared for him silently in his heart.

He rushed to bring Lin Jian here to speak before the court meeting, hoping that Lin Jian could use his method to pass the current test.

After all, this rumor began to rise after New Year's Eve, spread throughout the first month, and began to ferment after the Lantern Festival and Lantern Festival, and everyone in the government and the public knew it.

Ying Tianyi got the news that at the first court meeting of the new year, there was a censor from the Metropolitan Procuratorate who wanted to impeach Lin Jian, and the papers of the impeachment of Lin Jian by local feudal officials had been handed over to Emperor Chengsheng. He knew that it was impossible for Lin Jian not to know this, but he was still worried after all. Seeing that Lin Jian hadn't moved at all, he couldn't bear it after all, so he called someone here to give him advice, at least to avoid the collective impeachment of today's court meeting. .

But now that he was talking about this, Lin Jian didn't catch his idea. Judging from Lin Jian's intentions, it seemed that he had been prepared for a long time.Ying Tianyi had no choice but to keep all the unfinished words and unresolved doubts in his heart, and let's see how Lin Jian would deal with it in the next court meeting.

Ying Tianyi is not as good as Lin Jian's eyesight.

Lin Jian blew out the candles in the house, and Ying Tianyi couldn't see anything, so he had to rely on Lin Jian to help him out of the house.Fortunately, when he was about to cross the threshold, Lin Jian whispered a reminder in his ear, otherwise Ying Tianyi would really not be able to walk.

After coming out, Ying Tianyi's eyes adapted to the darkness outside. With the passage of time, the darkest time in the early morning has passed. At this moment, the sky was slightly bright, and Ying Tianyi could see a little of the situation outside. He couldn't help but sigh. He breathed a sigh of relief, he thought, the feeling of not being able to see in the dark is really uncomfortable.

Ying Tianyi and Lin Jian couldn't leave together, Lin Jian asked Ying Tianyi to go first, Ying Tianyi took the Huangtong umbrella from Yongcheng, took a deep look at Lin Jian before leaving, and walked into the rain with the umbrella open. Almost disappeared in the still dark sky.

Lin Jian picked up the yellow tong umbrella that he had placed by the door earlier, and after holding the umbrella in his hand, he lowered his eyes and saw a pool of water dripping from the umbrella standing here on the ground.

Lin Jian narrowed his eyes slightly, and opened them again. He raised his eyes to look at Yongcheng, and said softly, "Don't leave any traces here. You stay here and clean it up before leaving."

Yongcheng responded in a low voice, and watched Lin Jian leave.

Lin Jian went to the court room first, and put the Huangtong umbrella in his hand in the court room. At this time, there were no ministers in the court room. He didn't come in when he came earlier, and he followed Yongcheng quietly. Yes, so everyone thought that he hadn't come yet, and the ministers who met him at this moment also thought that Lin Jian had just arrived.

However, in view of Lin Jian's recent raging rumors in the capital, these ministers did not talk to him much, they just greeted him, the new deputy capital censor and prince Shaofu of the Metropolitan Procuratorate according to the rules, and then Hurry to the palace.

Lin Jian also walked towards the court hall. Seeing how all the officials avoided him, he suddenly felt amused.

He returned to the capital for half a year, and although he was deposed to serve in the southern Anhui army, his rank in the court has risen step by step. At the beginning, he was just the imperial censor of the capital procuratorate, but now he is not only the deputy capital censor, but also the prince Fu Xian, according to common sense, as a young official who is valued by Chengsheng Emperor and has been promoted repeatedly in such a short period of time, he has a good family background and a good relationship with the crown prince, so he should be sought after by all the officials. It's not good, but it's also very popular, and it's definitely not like everyone avoids it like it is now.

These people are afraid of getting close to him. First, they are afraid that there will be too many rumors about him, and second, they are afraid of making enemies for themselves. After all, he has always had a clear-cut stand, and he has made it clear who he wants to deal with. Ministers who remained neutral were unwilling to get close to him.

When Lin Jian reached the court hall, Ying Tianyi had already settled in his place.

Ying Tianyi is no better than Lin Jian, so he is not someone that everyone can avoid.

Ying Tianyi and Lin Jian avoided the crowds in the palace, walked through the wind and rain, and most of the official uniforms on his body were inevitably wet.

It's not that Ying Tianyi asked Yongcheng to wait for Lin Jian outside before he arrived at the court room. After he arrived at the court room, he saw that the momentum was not right, so he had this idea on the spur of the moment, so he went out quietly to find Yongcheng, and then went to the palace room that was being repaired. The ear room waited for Yongcheng to bring Lin Jian over.

A minister who was acquainted with Ying Tianyi saw Ying Tianyi for a long time, but when he arrived at the court, he was different from others.The clothes on the other people were almost dry, only Ying Tianyi's official clothes were wet, and seeing that he had only come back now, he asked him what's wrong with concern.

Ying Tianyi had already thought up his speech, when someone asked him, he presumed that he was not feeling well, he was so stuffy in the court room, he went outside to get some air, and then he had a stomachache, so he went to clean the room, so it was too late I got / wet / my clothes when I came back.As soon as this statement made sense, no one said anything more.

Emperor Chengsheng suffered from an old illness a few days ago and was not feeling well, but after ten days of careful recuperation, with concubines, princes and imperial physicians watching over him, Emperor Chengsheng who appeared in the court hall today is obviously much stronger than him. It was much better before.

Although he still looks a little sick because of his thinness, his spirit is still good.

Emperor Chengsheng sat on the throne, and the court hall was very large, with hundreds of civil and military officials standing in it. In fact, it was not so easy to see Emperor Chengsheng clearly.

Lin Jian had a high rank and stood in the front row. With good eyesight, he saw that Emperor Chengsheng's hair covered under the crown had many silver strands.

He saw that Emperor Chengsheng didn't have so many hairs before, but in the past ten days, he has added so much.Lin Jian pursed her lips lightly, lowered her eyes slightly, and she couldn't bear to see the eyes that were hidden under the thick eyelashes.

But when Emperor Chengsheng uttered his voice and all the ministers shouted Long live to bow down to Emperor Chengsheng, Lin Jian raised his eyes again, and his usual calmness and calmness had returned to his eyes.

On New Year's Eve, Prince Rui's riots shocked the government and the public.For this matter, although the yamen did not open their seals during the New Year's Eve, several important yamen were still open for errands.

The principals of the yamen, such as the Metropolitan Procuratorate of the Dali Temple of the Ministry of Justice, still went to the palace to meet Emperor Chengsheng due to their respective errands.But in the past ten days, the people who have seen Emperor Chengsheng are a minority after all, and what they did was all related to Prince Rui's rebellion, and none of the other political affairs were reported.

At the first court meeting after the New Year's Eve, Emperor Chengsheng summoned civil and military officials to deal with other political affairs.

Lin Jian could see the change of Emperor Chengsheng, and naturally all the interested people around him could also see it.

Originally, it was nothing more than sickness and emaciation, but when combined with the current rumors raging in the capital, there are clearly more meaningful interpretations.

Everyone with a heart was thinking in their hearts that the rumors involved Lin Jian as the person who arranged the layout, and looking at the current state of Emperor Chengsheng, how could he know that he didn't become haggard and old because he regretted the loss of his own son, Prince Rui?

People who originally believed those rumors only seven or eight percent, after seeing Emperor Chengsheng's appearance, they believed it ten percent.There was a minister in front of him solemnly reporting political affairs to Emperor Chengsheng, and those people who were thinking about it secretly peeked at Lin Jian from time to time. They looked at Lin Jian with condemnation and disdain, which was very meaningful.

Lin Jian didn't pay attention to these commotions or gazes, and still straightened his back, standing there upright, with a calm and calm expression.

But what should come will always come.

After the ministers had finished playing the political affairs, and Emperor Chengsheng dealt with them one by one, there were still some political affairs that had not yet been decided. He asked Prime Minister Yu to lead his subordinates to discuss with the six ministries before making a decision. After that, he asked the ministers if there was anything else to ask played.

After the political affairs were played, the ministers who had agreed to impeach Lin Jian all stood up one after another.

Lin Jian looked from the side one by one, but saw a few familiar faces.He remembered that when he came back from Yangzhou last year, someone in the court impeached him for the direct transportation of military pay to southern Anhui. He didn't go to the court at that time, but he knew who said something in the court. Look, these people have impeached him these few times.

A few days ago Prince Rui rebelled and was purged by the court, but now there are still these few familiar faces, which shows that these few people have never been in cahoots with others, presumably they sincerely impeach him.

Emperor Chengsheng was patient. These people/impeachment of Lin Jian basically talked about rumors, and there were some speculations about Lin Jian's ulterior motives. Emperor Chengsheng listened patiently.

After the last person finished speaking, Emperor Chengsheng said in a low voice: "Lin Qing is the hero of the eldest prince's troubles. If it weren't for him, you—"

Emperor Chengsheng raised his finger and pointed at the crowd, then turned his head and pointed at himself, and then slowly continued, "You and I will all die on New Year's Eve."

As soon as Emperor Chengsheng said this, there was silence in the court hall.

Emperor Chengsheng said again in a deep voice: "I recognize him as a meritorious minister, promote him to his official position, and change him to be the crown prince. What does this mean? Are you really going to disregard my wishes so much?"

"You are all my ministers, governing the world for me and managing my country for me. You can stand here, which shows that you have the ability and capital. But you people, don't believe in my determination, but It is true to treat rumors in the market as golden rules, but it is indeed too much for you to criticize meritorious ministers."

"You think Lin Qing is wrong, so according to your opinion, if you want the eldest prince to succeed, or if I was injured, Lin Qing will come to save you at that time, isn't it considered to be deliberately provoking with ulterior motives?"
