After rebirth, tear the black-hearted husband to pieces and step on the evil mother-in-law

The moment the palace door opened, Lin Luoling was startled.

Emperor Deshun was seen leaning on the table with both hands, his eyes were angry, and sitting opposite him was Lin Luoling's father, Lin Tingxu, who raised his lips and said to Emperor Deshun:

"Your Majesty, since you have lost this game, you should let me go."

Seeing this, Lin Luoling quickly stepped forward, knelt down and said, "I don't know how my father has offended Your Majesty. I hope Your Majesty will forgive me. Since I was a child, I have often heard my father praise Your Majesty as a great sage, a man of both civil and military talents, and unparalleled wisdom..."

Just as he said this, Prince An slowly walked into the hall, bowed to Emperor Deshun, interrupted Lin Luoling's words, and said, "Your son greets your father. Your father is playing chess with your father-in-law? I wonder what the chips are?"

Emperor Deshun pulled Lin Tingxu's beard unceremoniously and said, "This old fellow is extremely sinister. He set up a trap to deceive me just to win this game against me. Humph."

Lin Tingxu smiled and said, "Your Majesty is so wise that he deliberately gave me two steps just now. Didn't you guess that I would win? I treat His Royal Highness Prince An as my own son, so there is no need to put on a show in front of him."

Emperor Deshun curled his lips, let go of Lin Tingxu's beard, and sat crookedly in a wide chair with his arms folded. He refused to admit it and said, "When did I ever let you go? You clearly beat me, and you're still acting cute here."

Prince An smiled calmly and said, "If I am not mistaken, father-in-law does not want to serve as an official in the court, right? I guess the bet between father and father-in-law in the chess game was about his serving as an official in the court, right?"

Emperor Deshun said, "What father-in-law? At present, the followers of Prince Rui have been killed, dismissed from office and exiled to Fencheng Prefecture. Most of the followers of Prince Jin have been eliminated by Prince Rui, and the rest have also been exiled by me this morning.

There are many vacant positions in the court now. If I let him serve as an official, wouldn't it be a good help for you? Prime Minister Jiang is already old, and Lin Tingxu is full of knowledge and strategies. He is the best choice for the prime minister. "

Prince An helped Lin Luoling, who was kneeling on the ground beside him in a daze, to stand up, took out a folded piece of rice paper from his sleeve pocket, handed it to Emperor Deshun and said:

"Father, this is the list of officials I drew up yesterday to fill vacant posts. If there is anything wrong with it, please order the Minister of Personnel to revise it."

Emperor Deshun looked at it carefully, and as he looked, the corners of his mouth curled up slightly.

Seeing this, Lin Tingxu said, "Your Majesty, it's not that I don't want to assist His Royal Highness Prince An. Although the followers of Prince Jin and Prince Rui have been eliminated, what about their followers in secret? I haven't been to the capital for a long time, and I am not familiar with the officials in the court.

On the surface, they will try their best to please me because of my relationship with His Royal Highness Prince An. However, some treacherous villains will definitely use me to control His Royal Highness Prince An.

Today, the northern and southern borders are so unpeaceful, with constant wars and an empty treasury. No matter whether Your Majesty is in power or His Royal Highness Prince An inherits the throne ten thousand years later, as long as there is a war, money will be needed.

I am a decent scholar, but I am not good at war. Therefore, I am willing to devote all my efforts to business and make Tianqi's agriculture, civil engineering, water conservancy, and commerce the strongest. Eighty percent of the money I earn will go into the national treasury, and I will become the strongest backing for Your Majesty and His Royal Highness Prince An. "

Emperor Deshun looked at Lin Tingxu and asked, "Do you think so?"

Lin Tingxu nodded and said, "Prince An told me that he would only marry my daughter and not take concubines. If that's the case, I can't serve as an official in the court, to avoid the dictatorship of the imperial relatives, which is not good for Your Highness Prince An and the peace and stability of the country."

After that, Lin Tingxu knelt on the ground. Emperor Deshun looked at Lin Tingxu's back with admiration and said with a smile: "You are indeed a great talent that I have chosen. Your Confucian demeanor is getting stronger and stronger, as you said. However..."

Emperor Deshun paused, narrowed his eyes and looked at Lin Tingxu and said, "You don't have to serve as an official in the court, but you must move to the capital. I will give you the residence of Prince Rui. In the future, I can summon you to the palace to play chess with me at any time."

Lin Tingxu raised his head and smacked his lips, "Your Majesty, is this a reward? My humble servant's residence in Xuzhou is much larger than the Rui Palace. It's obvious that you lost a game today and you are unwilling to accept it."

Prince An rubbed his nose, lowered his eyelids, and whispered, "Father, you promised me yesterday that you would give me the Rui Palace."

Emperor Deshun waved his hand and said, "Prince Rui died so tragically. I feel it is very unlucky. I order Minister Du Pi (in charge of civil engineering: third rank) to rebuild the old Prince's Mansion and grant it to you as the Prince's Mansion."

Lin Tingxu: …

It's unlucky for your son to live in Prince Rui's Mansion, so you give it to me?

He said, "I am weak in the five elements of Yang, and have been afraid of demons and monsters since I was young. The Rui Palace is too luxurious, and I am afraid that my life will be shortened, so I cannot earn money for Your Majesty and Your Highness Prince An."

In the end, Emperor Deshun asked Lin Tingxu to choose a mansion, and the mansion chosen by Lin Tingxu was next to He Shaofu's mansion.

Lin Luoling knew that her father made this choice because, firstly, her grandfather was old and her mother had been in Xuzhou, Beijing, for more than ten years and had not been able to take care of him. This would make it convenient for her mother to return to the He Mansion at any time.

Secondly, although the followers of Prince Rui were eliminated, the entrance and exit of Nanxiang State were blown up by gunpowder, Prince Jin went on an expedition to the northern border, and the government and the country were in turmoil. Her father and mother lived next to the He Mansion, so it was convenient for her to take care of her.

The third was the mansion chosen by her father, which was only two streets away from the old prince's mansion given to Prince An and her by Emperor Deshun.

After the agreement was reached, Emperor Deshun ordered Yunxi to serve tea. At this moment, he behaved like an emperor, not as childish as before. He solemnly discussed with Prince An and Lin Tingxu the wedding date of Prince An and Lin Luoling.

After everything was agreed upon, Lin Tingxu told Lin Luoling to take good care of herself in the palace and to serve His Royal Highness Prince An well. If she had free time, she should ask the Queen Mother for advice on how to handle matters in the harem.

Lin Luoling bowed and responded, and Lin Tingxu left the palace.

Emperor Deshun left Prince An and Lin Luoling to have dinner in the Zhengde Hall. Unexpectedly, a baby girl's voice was heard outside the hall door.

"Who dares to stop me? Believe it or not, I will kill you with one sword."
