Omi had to sit up

Chapter 12 Before the Storm

The little official brought the black crown of clothes neatly to Lin Chenshu.

Chen Shu stared at the clothes for a while.

If he heard correctly just now, the official surnamed Zhang from the Ministry of Rites came here to inform him to go hunting in the autumn field—but someone planned to assassinate the emperor in the autumn field hunting, and he wrote the matter clearly in black and white after he knew the situation Chu, including Qi Taiwei, including Chong Sankun Si.After he finished writing the letter, he personally sent it to the royal study of the palace. He thought that the emperor would take new measures, but he didn't expect that the top three of them would go together...

So, did the emperor see the letter paper he wrote?

"Thank you, Mr. Zhang." Lin Heming next to him reminded him with a frown when he saw Lin Chenshu's appearance.

"... Thank you, Mr. Zhang." Chen Shu was in a daze, and took the red crown.

Master Zhang stroked his beard.

Lin Heming hurried forward and stuffed the silver that had been prepared into Mr. Zhang's hand, with a pleasant face: "Mr. Zhang has worked hard for a trip. I have asked the cook to prepare the banquet. If Mr. Zhang does not give up, why don't you stay and have a few drinks?" Cup and go?"

"Master Lin is very polite." Mr. Zhang padded the money, pocketed the money with satisfaction, and said with a smile, "There is no need to drink, the matter is urgently entrusted to me by the superior, and I have to go to Tan Hua Lang's house to inform, if I have time, Let’s meet again some other day.”

Hearing this, Lin Heming smiled and said some polite words, and personally sent Mr. Zhang out of the mansion.

Soon Chen Shu was left alone in the front hall. He was still holding the tray, but his eyes fell on the grand master's chair in front of him.At this time, the chair was empty, but Chen Shu was staring straight at it, but the light in his eyes was slightly scattered, obviously he didn't see the place he was watching.

In his mind, Chen Shu was quickly reliving the scene of entering the royal study yesterday.

The imperial study room should be the emperor's personal private place. Unless someone like himself dared to sneak into the imperial study room with the blessing of the system, no one would go to the emperor's desk to read the emperor's memorial.

According to his plan, as long as the emperor returned to the imperial study to look through the memorial, he would definitely find the letter paper.But what's going on now?Could it be that the emperor didn't return to the imperial study because he was mistaken for an assassin last night?

Or is it that the letter paper was pressed under the memorial and taken away by others?

But the emperor's table case is handled by a servant, even if he sees the letter, it should be handed over to the emperor, unless the person who took the letter paper is someone related to Taiwei Qi...

Do you want to check again tonight?

Chen Shu frowned.

His mind was in a mess right now, and the only clue he could figure out was that tomorrow's hunt would be very dangerous.

But if he went to the palace again tonight, the guards in the palace would have already been strengthened.Chen Shu still has lingering fears about the shadow in the palace who kept chasing after him as soon as he appeared. If he appeared again to meet the emperor, he would probably be treated as an assassin again before he even saw the emperor.

Thinking of this, Chen Shu's gaze finally moved, and slowly fell on the black crown in his hand, his pupils constricted slightly.

Tomorrow, the top three in the new department will accompany him, and this should also be the first time he has met the emperor as Lin Chenshu.

Although things don't know where things will go, he is always beside the emperor.

If it really doesn't work, he can deal with it at any time by the emperor's side.

Instead of thinking wildly now, it is better to keep an eye on tomorrow's events.

Chen Shu thought, gripping the tray tightly.

The clothes sent by the Ministry of Rites were in the style of the officials of the Li Dynasty. The red brocade was lined with black cloth, and the blue thread was pressed on the edge. Because the Ministry of Officials had not yet given the official position, the front of the official uniform Chen Shu received was only embroidered with cirrus clouds and sea waves. , and no rest of the frills.

Early in the morning, Chen Shu began to fiddle with clothes and hair crowns. After half an hour of fiddling, he finally failed, and called Uncle Liu to help him with his luggage.

He dressed very casually for the past two days, but today is different, he can't casually put on a hairband and a belt.

It wasn't the first time Uncle Liu helped Chen Shu organize his outfit.He dressed Chen Shu's clothes subtly, and straightened the crown on Chen Shu's head so that the red ribbons on both sides of the crown naturally fell on Lin Chenshu's cheeks, and then he smiled contentedly. up.

"Young master, this old servant has found that since you passed the exam, your temperament has become better and better." Uncle Liu looked at Lin Chenshu in front of him, "It's no wonder the master has always wanted you to enter the official career. Once you wear this official uniform, it's really good." It's style!"

"Is that so?" Chen Shu glanced at the mirror in front of him, and the target was still Lin Chenshu's face.

He frowned and looked away quickly.

Uncle Liu still looked at the person in front of him happily.If two days ago the young master wore the plain clothes like a son of a family, then today the young master is wearing a red official uniform, with light eyebrows, deep black pupils, and thin lips, which neutralizes too much softness compared to before. , looks even more heroic.

The only shortcoming right now is probably that the young master is too thin.Lin Chenshu's waist looked too thin, and he didn't look as mighty as those military officers.

But it doesn't matter, he turned around and told Lin Heming that what Master Lin cares about most recently is his son, and he will definitely make up for Lin Chenshu.

After thinking about it, Uncle Liu saw that it was almost time, so he called for a carriage and took Lin Chenshu to the official office of the Ministry of Rites.

Outside the official office of the Ministry of Rites, Li Yezhi was waiting for someone outside. When he saw the Lin family's carriage coming, he immediately raised his head to greet Lin Chenshu who got off the carriage, and walked over a few steps.

Ever since he knew that the relationship between Lin Chenshu and Qi Kang was extraordinary, Li Yezhi's attitude towards Lin Chenshu changed.At this time, in front of the official office of the Ministry of Rites, only the two of them belonged to the same group of Jinshi and knew each other, so Li Yezhi naturally invited Lin Chenshu to be his companion.

It's just that Chen Shu usually doesn't talk much, after going to the palace, he feels that he has nothing to talk to Li Yezhi.

On the contrary, Li Yezhi was very interested in this accompanying trip: "Young master Lin came at the right time, the emperor's guard of honor will depart from the palace in half an hour, and a moment later, we will have to go to join the battle outside the imperial city with the lords of the Ministry of Rites. Just drink your saliva, those of us without official positions have to accompany the emperor's guard of honor on foot to the western suburbs like officials below the fourth rank, and it is easy to walk."

"Mr. Li has been hunting?" Seeing that Li Ye's head was straight, Chen Shu asked.

"How is it possible? I only heard about the hunt from my father." Li Yezhi smiled and said, "My father was a member of the Ministry of Industry for two years, and he was fortunate to have a hunt with the first emperor. It was a huge scene, and I still remember it to this day. It’s still new, it was still talking to me yesterday.”

Wailang, a member of the Ministry of Industry, was a fifth-rank official. Although he was an official in the capital, he was like a stone thrown into water, and he was unknown.

But even if it is a fifth-rank official position, it is much better than the Lin family.If someone in the family is an official, his heirs are regarded as the children of the official family, and their status is more than twice as high as that of businessmen who work as businessmen.If it hadn't been for Li Yezhi to see Chen Shu by mistake when he went to the Qi family, such a person from an official family would really look down on the son of a merchant like Lin Chenshu like other Jinshi.

Chen Shu was silent for a while, but didn't pay attention to it, and continued to ask: "When your father was hunting, were there any Jinshi from the new department with him?"

"That's not true." Li Yezhi's eyes lit up when he heard the words, and then he pulled Chen Shu and said in a low voice, "I heard from Mr. Zhang from the Ministry of Rites that it was the emperor's intention to accompany us this time. The emperor must have his intentions in calling us over. There are very few opportunities like ours to meet the emperor, and when we are hunting, you and I have to perform well, and maybe we can win a good Beijing official by then."

"What about Tanhua?" Chen Shu asked subconsciously without thinking about Li Yezhi's questions.

The emperor summoned the top three this time, and Li Yezhi and Lin Chenshu were the top two. I don't know where the third top Tanhua is now.

"Hey! Don't mention Tanhualang." Li Yezhi pouted his mouth in a crowded place, and said, "This Mu Tanhua is much more promising than us. He is the most proud student of the Yushi. The Yushi is One of the auxiliary ministers has such a direct relationship, so he is not as worried as we are."

Chen Shu: "..."

No, don't add the word "men".He wasn't worried, it was Lin Heming who was worried.

Chen Shu looked in the direction of Li Yezhi's nuzui, and sure enough, he saw a man in his twenties wearing the same official uniform as them, surrounded by several officials wearing official uniforms, embroidered with or White pheasant or skylark, one of them is very familiar, it turned out to be Mr. Zhang from the Ministry of Rites who came to the Lin family to inform yesterday.

Compared with the official demeanor when he came to the Lin family, Mr. Zhang smiled amiably now.

Li Yezhi sighed for a while, although he was from a family of officials and eunuchs, but his father's official position was not high, so he was nothing in the eyes of this group of people above the fifth rank.The only one who can stand with him now is Lin Chenshu.

Although Lin Chenshu was rumored to be a broken sleeve, he felt that Mr. Lin was very good at speaking.Along the way, it would be nice to have someone to chat with.

At least it doesn't look too dull.

After thinking about it, Li Yezhi really started talking to Chen Shu.After a while, he said that the censor had been ill for a long time, and he might not be able to participate in the hunt this time, and then he said that the prime minister he met the day before had caught a cold last night and was not very tired. , came to participate in the hunt on behalf of the auxiliary ministers.

Chen Shu frowned slightly, but didn't say much.

After half a stick of incense, the Ministry of Rites led people to the imperial city.Chen Shu and Li Yezhi walked together, and soon came under the towering city wall again.

Below the city wall, there are already royal guards of honor ready, with more than dozens of attendants at the front and back, and more than a hundred palace guards on the left and right. More than a hundred colorful flags were hoisted, making the sound of hunting and encouraging as the cloth rubbed against the wind.

The officials brought by the Ministry of Rites quickly integrated into the back of the team.After another incense stick, the emperor's chariot arrived, and the guard of honor officially set off for the northern suburbs.This journey out of the capital is a bumpy mountain road, and it is as hard as Li Yezhi said.But with the Son of Heaven by his side, no one dared to fall behind.

Li Yezhi walked away out of breath, but luckily he was mentally prepared in advance.He turned his head to look at Lin Chenshu, but he couldn't help being surprised to see the other person's expression as usual.

"Aren't you tired?" Li Yezhi asked secretly.

With the blessing of systematic lightness kung fu, Chen Shu is naturally not tired.He was silent when he heard the words, and made an excuse casually: "I don't sweat easily."

"..." Li Yezhi touched his sweaty forehead, blushing.

All the people walking in the back of the line looked tired, and only Lin Chen still looked calm and beautiful after walking for so long. The others were all dusty, but he seemed to be fine.

And this guy obviously doesn't look strong at all.

Li Yezhi couldn't help being a little envious, thinking that although Lin Chenshu was such a guy, he was handsome and handsome, no wonder Qi Kang would have a crush on him.However, after this long journey, he was too tired to say anything. When he arrived at the hunting ground and passed the official ceremony, he directly dragged Chen Shu to find a place to rest for a while.

Chen Shu just followed, while secretly looking at the terrain of the hunting ground.

This hunting ground is located in the western suburbs of the capital, surrounded by three continuous hills in the western suburbs. The mountains meet the sky, and it looks vast and thousands of miles away.The area where they are located is the starting point of the hunting ground. Because the first emperor often hunted, a bamboo shed was built nearby for people to rest.

Some maids prepare fruit refreshments in the shed.

At this time, Mr. Zhang from the Ministry of Rites hurried over again. After searching the shed for a while, his eyes finally fell on Li Yezhi and Lin Chenshu. He stepped forward and said, "Why are you two here? Let me take care of you Look for it. Taiwei Qi said he wants to see you."

"Captain Qi?" Li Yezhi questioned, and looked back at Lin Chenshu.

Lin Chenshu's expression was indifferent, and he just raised his eyes after hearing the words.

The lord Zhang has already answered: "Yes, not only Taiwei Qi, the emperor is also waiting for you two, why don't you hurry over there."
