Rebirth of the Son Raiders

Time flies, a peaceful but not ordinary life always goes by very fast.

It has been three years since Cheng Wang became king. The people of Pingwu, who had suffered a lot because of the war in Yongzhou, have rebuilt their homes after several years of recuperation.

For them, these three years have undoubtedly been very peaceful. I don't know if the monarch is clear and bright, the country is peaceful and the people are safe, and even the earthquake has been much less.

According to people of the older generation, the monsters in Nanling have never been so "docile" as they are now. With King Cheng and the Northern Army, ordinary people can even find some jobs in Nanling, hunting, and picking some mountains. Jane, subsidize the family.

King Cheng not only inherited his father's fiefdom in name, but also inherited the title of "God of War" from King Yu in fact. At the age of more than 20 years old, he severely suppressed the demons in the entire Nanling.

Of course, although the stability of Nanling is the basis for the stability of the entire Pingwu and Hanyang counties, the smooth civil administration of the fief is also very important for the recovery after the chaos.

Lin Changshi of the Pingyang Dudu's Mansion has been in office since three years ago, and now he leads the officials of the Dudu's Mansion to work hard and never slack off. He and Chengwang's Mansion are one outside and one inside, and the affairs of the two counties are managed in an orderly manner.

Not to mention the extremely tacit cooperation between the two parties, they have become an inseparable whole.

At first, the officials of Pingwu were still guessing that Mr. Lin was a close minister of the emperor, and he had been favored by the late emperor and His Majesty since he was a boy. Could it be that he had obtained some kind of trust, knowing that King Cheng would surely ascend to the top in the future, so he maintained a close relationship with Prince Cheng's mansion? Such a close relationship, in order to seize the merits of the king.

However, as an official sent by the imperial court to Pingwu to contain the local prince, it is a big taboo to walk too often with Cheng Wang, so ordinary officials dare not say this matter publicly, and can only speculate silently.

Inevitably at this time, some people deliberately exaggerated for meritorious service and promotion, and secretly reported to Beijing that the governor of Pingyang Governor Shi and Cheng Wang secretly colluded, tried to sway the imperial court's power in the region, and then controlled the entire northern border. It is not seen that Beijing and China attach importance to this matter at all.

Gradually, everyone figured out some clues—since Mr. Lin is a close minister of the emperor, his attitude more or less represents the attitude of the one in Beijing... It can be seen that no matter whether His Majesty establishes a crown prince or not, he still treats the eldest son Cheng Wang very much. trust.

The so-called Lu Yao knows his horsepower, and he knows people's hearts over time. After a long time, even if some things have not been exposed, there are traces to follow.

It is said that the monsters in Nanling are timid in front of King Cheng, like a mouse meeting a cat... King Cheng is docile and obedient in front of Lin Changshi!

Cheng Wang, who is brave and good at fighting outside, and always unsmiling, is like a beast with its fangs and claws in front of Lin Changshi.

That gentle, tolerant, completely harmless appearance was extremely deceptive, and made people around him think that King Cheng was just so "talkative"—after all, no matter what Lin Changshi said, he felt "very right".

It can be said that the close cooperation between the Pingyang Dudu Mansion and Cheng Wang Mansion largely depends on the extraordinary tacit understanding of the two leaders.

Sometimes Lin Changshi would express his opinion before King Cheng even spoke, and His Royal Highness the eldest son only needs to nod for approval; Before people had time to react, the two had reached a consensus.

Even sometimes, without much discussion, they seem to have discussed it in the same room beforehand, and they can talk directly when they get it on the table. The people under them just need to obey the order and do what they have been assigned good.

At least the officials of Pingyang Dudu's Mansion, especially the seemingly honest but experienced veterans around Chang Shi, watched Lin Changshi say the same thing in front of King Cheng every day, and there was nothing special about it.

When they think about it carefully, they are a little unbelievable, and they have to think about it.

It has been a long time since he inherited the crown, not to mention the main concubine and the side concubine. It is said that there is not even a serious concubine in the mansion. It stands to reason that even if His Majesty doesn't like the eldest son of the emperor, it is necessary to point out a marriage for him so that he can manipulate him. There was no news from Beijing, so they acquiesced to King Cheng's "aloneness".

King Cheng was monolithic and refused all comers. Some people once set their sights on Lin Changshi, who was a year or two older than King Cheng.

Outstanding and handsome, the young and promising Lin Changshi has been the most attractive candidate for "good son-in-law" in Pingwu County Mansion for many years, even surpassing King Cheng, becoming the person most wanted by the local aristocratic family.

However, before Lin Changshi opened his mouth to refuse, Cheng Wang blew up his hair and surrounded the Dudu Mansion with the soldiers of Cheng Wang Mansion. If Lin Changshi hadn't come forward to "pacify" himself, he would have almost never stepped forward to take a look. Kick over those soft sedan chairs containing beauties.

The jealousy and annoyance are so obvious that people can't believe that this is a childish thing that His Royal Highness Cheng Wang can do!

After several visits, people who understand can see it clearly: Cheng Wang's attitude towards Lin Changshi, this is not the prince's attitude towards ordinary fifth-rank officials, this is simply the attitude towards... !

Moreover, Jingzhong's reaction was also extremely subtle - the person in Jingzhong must have known about such a big matter, but he didn't express anything. This is already a kind of express!

After that, naturally no one dared to touch King Cheng's bad luck and gave Lin Changshi some beauties without knowing what was good or bad.

The obviously shocking relationship between the two great figures has gradually become a tacit matter in the Pingwu County Mansion as time goes by.

In another ten years, it will no longer be a secret in the entire northern border, and even in the entire Liangzhou.

……

But at this time, not everyone knew how "intimate" Cheng Wang and Lin Changshi were.

They also didn't know that every letter from Lin Changshi's family would be handed directly to His Royal Highness the eldest son after reading it once, as if his own family letter was their common family letter.

While listening to Lin Yanhong's speech, Li Jingcheng quickly glanced at the content on the letterhead.

"After so many years of trouble, the dust has finally settled." Lin Yanhong's face did not change, but he was a little helpless: "It doesn't matter if we reconcile and leave, Mrs. Lu is restless, and Lin Jun is not a good man. Making trouble in Lin's residence will only make father's life difficult."

The patriarch of the Lin family, Lin Qiongde, passed away two years ago. According to the custom, Lin Yanhong had to go back to Yunyang to honor his grandfather for a year.

However, Pingwu finally settled down. If Changshi is not around, there may be troubles again, so His Majesty deliberately took advantage and ordered Lin Yanhong to wear plain clothes to keep his filial piety in the Yunyang Dudu's Mansion, so that he would not have to return to Yunyang City.

Generally, the military officials who are at the forefront of the government are mostly seizing love. It is not common for civil officials to seize love, but the world can see what is happening in Pingwu. In addition, there are similar examples in Xichang and Nanchong, so Lin Yanhong's situation is not uncommon. It's special.

It wasn't a day or two since the Lu family made troubles. After Lin Jun took over the concubine's room that year, she saw that Lin Feng was obsessed with his eldest son who was recuperating in Beijing, and that Lin Qiongde was old and frail. , So moved the idea of ​​property separation.

Who knew that the plan could not keep up with the changes, Lin Qiongde actually disappeared in the early spring of the second year of Zhuang Wu, even if she wanted to reconcile at that time, the Lu family of her natal family would not allow her to be a married woman who would not be a filial piety to her father-in-law.

So she "suffered" for another 27 months, and Lin's family also endured for nearly three years. Just after taking off her clothes, she brought up the old matter again.

Lin Jun is now in his thirties, and it can be said that he has accomplished nothing. He has barely passed Qiu Wei more than ten years ago, and he is still a juren, and he has not made any achievements on the way of learning.

When Lin Qiongde was not dead, he once wanted to donate an official for his son. Lin Jun had Lin Yanhong, a nephew with great future, and the Shangguan of Yunyang City gave Lin family face.

But Lin Jun himself was stubborn and refused to give up the examiner. He felt that if Lin Yanhong had a family background, he should be able to stand out with his knowledge and be a legitimate official in the future. He wouldn't even be able to ask his mother for a reward!

It's a pity that the wish is good, but the reality hits him again and again, and finally wears down his will.

However, Lin Qiongde's death became the last straw that broke the camel's back, making him even more weird, sometimes gloomy, sometimes hysterical. In Lu's view, he no longer had the appearance of a modest gentleman and a scholarly scholar, only his face remained. Abominable.

"She has also done her filial piety to her grandfather. There is no need to stay in the Lin family and continue wasting years. Be a resentful couple with Lin Jun and hate each other." Lin Yanhong said to Li Jingcheng: "I have already suggested to my father to separate the family. This is an etiquette that cannot be violated, but other things from the long house, except the sacrificial fields and the ancestral house, can be taken by Lin Jun, and I have already sent Uncle Fu and Shi Qing to help my father."

He had already told his father about the separation of the family, but he was still in Xiaozhong, so he couldn't act too hastily. Now that the Lu family had made a fuss, it wouldn't be too abrupt for them to mention the separation of the family. Not much to say.

"Lin Jun's current state, father and Yansi live with him, I don't feel at ease, the sooner the family is separated, the better, I will arrange it at the Yunyang government office, you just need to go to the letter family, and let the other rooms take care of you more You don't have to worry too much, father and Yansi have our guards by their side, Lin Jun doesn't want to go in after leaving the ancestral house."

Lin Yanhong nodded, and went to the table, ready to reply to his father.

Li Jingcheng accompanied him, at first he quietly read his letters, and suddenly said: "This year Nanling is very cold, it feels like it will snow tomorrow."

Lin Yanhong paused in his hands, and raised his eyes slightly to look at him: "What do you want to say?" This seemed to mean asking knowingly.

"Going back to Beijing to report on my work, I need to stay a few more days..." A certain person was not ashamed to be exposed, so he simply said without changing his expression, "It is always necessary to stay three or five days longer." That is to say, to stay three or five more days Days are enough, come back quickly.

Before everyone went to Tianjing, Li Jingcheng began to urge the return period... Lin Yanhong couldn't laugh or cry: "I only return to Beijing once in three years to report on my work. Three or five days is really not enough."

Finding that the other party stopped talking, it happened that the letter was finished, so Lin Yanhong put down the pen in his hand, touched the other party's face: "Be good."

Someone held Lin Yanhong's hand, and nodded obediently. Lin Yanhong was about to reward him, so he smiled back at him when he heard someone say, "After writing the letter, you can go to bed." got it.

Lin Yanhong: "..." I always feel that it is rare to sleep tonight.

……

On the eve of the New Year's Eve, Lin Yanhong returned to Beijing to report on his duties. Li Jingcheng personally sent him to Tianjing as in the past, but he would not stay in the palace, but returned to Nanling immediately.

Before leaving the northern border, the two of them will lead the Demon Suppressing Army to wander around Nanling for a while.

Using the power of the two ancestors' returning souls to frighten the monsters in Nanling, so that Li Jingcheng will leave Nanling for a few days, and there will be no big troubles in Nanling.

Nanling had snowed and looked extraordinarily beautiful. Li Jingcheng and Lin Yanhong rode together and led their troops to fly over at low altitude. They could even see non-hibernating animals looking for food in the forest.

Lin Yanhong held the reins, and Li Jingcheng held his hand. Although he was wearing thick leather gloves, he seemed to be able to feel the other person's body temperature. Even though the wind was blowing, he was still very warm.

Holding your hand, you can see the green trees in spring, the blooming flowers in summer, the dyed forests in autumn, and the snow in winter... This should be the happiest thing in the world.
