According to the situation of the country

As soon as the carriage arrived at the gate of King Yong's Mansion, Lin Xuan lifted the curtain and jumped out of the carriage neatly. He walked quickly into the gate with a brocade robe in his right hand, rubbed his hands and turned around and asked, "Where is the Holy Majesty?"

"My lord, you are not here. Mr. Du is playing chess with the saint in the Taide Palace." Chang De trotted forward and led Lin Xuan to the front yard of the palace.

"Mr. Du is back, and it's been a month since he left? What a coincidence, after all, the palace staff can't just take their salary and do nothing." Lin Xuan laughed.

"Mr. Du returned to the palace last night, and he was sleepy. I heard that the prince gave up the idea of ​​coming to pay his respects this morning." Chang De said happily when he saw the prince's amiable face.

Most of the people in Yongwang's mansion stayed in Yongwang's fiefdom and did not go to Beijing with Lin Xuan. They were really afraid of attracting attention and causing trouble instead.Du Penglai clamored to investigate the customs and customs of the people around Kyoto within a few days after he came to Beijing, and it took several months after he left.Du Penglai also said, the prince is full of thousands of favors, the Holy Majesty has almost no defense against you, if the house is really boring, let the minister go out to relax.Seeing her sluggishness at the mansion every day, Lin Xuan fulfilled her wish easily.

Before entering the Taide Hall, I heard Du Penglai's rambling voice, "Hey! Your Majesty, you are committing suicide by walking like this. Don't blame me for not reminding you later."

"There are so many new things in your hometown in Penglai." Lin Jin hurriedly picked up the "Knight" that had just been put away, "It can't be regarded as my regret, I just learned it and this is the second game."

"Chengchengcheng—you are the emperor, you have the final say." Du Penglai stepped on the stool, grabbed the candied fruit next to him and stuffed it into his mouth randomly, "This is 'chess', I don't know how to do it." Every game of Go is bound to be lost, this is something I have been playing since I was a child."

Lin Jin nodded in agreement, stretched out his hand and took another step, and asked tentatively: "Penglai, although you are a foreigner, you have extensive knowledge and often find new ways of dealing with political affairs. Don't you want to be an official and help me do things? You know that I value you Always like brothers of the opposite sex.”

Du Penglai smiled embarrassingly, "Your Majesty also knows that I am used to idleness, and I am grateful to His Majesty for letting me stay in the mansion to eat and drink. Your Majesty is a rare Mingjun, Holy Lord, Xianglixian Corporal. It's a pity that I don't have great ambitions. The bird is very happy, the emperor don't embarrass me." The tone was loose, but the determination in Du Penglai's firm eyes made Lin Jin understand that it was difficult to change Du Penglai's mind, and finally shook his head regretfully and said: "Since Penglai has no I don't want to be unsatisfied with this idea. But when Xuan'er comes back, I have to do me a favor, and I can't shirk it."

"Brother Huang, you are taking advantage of others' danger. Are you going to bribe my palace's staff without my brother?" Lin Xuan walked in and looked at Lin Jin pretending to be angry, with a mischievous look in her amber eyes. breath.

"It's -- it's rare for me to dig a corner, and I was caught by the master." Lin Jin put down the chess pieces and stood up, patted the dark blue brocade suit, and smiled awkwardly.The eunuch and maidservant in the room secretly covered their faces and smiled.

"Mr. Du is a man of great talent, but he is lazy. If Brother Huang takes Mr. Du to the temple, she may not be able to catch up with the morning court in two days."

Du Penglai blushed when he heard Lin Xuan's words, and the gazes from all around him could only be regarded as air, wandering around but not looking at Lin Xuan.How can I, an outstanding young man in the 21st century, get up at 3:[-] every day?Might as well let me die...

"I think it's Xuan'er who can't bear to give up. Since Penglai likes the life in Yongwangfu, I can't force it. Penglai can stay in Yongwangfu and eat rice." Lin Jin smiled, he understood that Du Penglai liked the free court. Too many rules in the classroom will restrain him, so think about keeping him by Lin Xuan's side.Let him tinker with some strange gadgets, thanks to his skill in farming, now one mu of land can harvest [-]% more grain than before.Based on this point, Du Penglai had to take good care of him in Yongwang Mansion who was "delicious and lazy". If it weren't for Du Penglai, he would be sick and injured. Lin Jin once wondered whether the hometown he said was the fairyland...

"Nuo—" Three black lines slid across Du Penglai's head. He also contributed something, okay?Well, you stinky lord blackmailed me...

"Brother Huang, why are you free to come to the mansion today?" Lin Xuan took the tea brought by the maidservant, lifted the lid and blew, "By the way, I just bought pastries from Fuchun Building. Changan—bring the pastries to me." Your Majesty, try it."

"Oh—I'm so tired today that I went out for a walk. I happened to be strolling nearby, so I wanted to see you."

"Brother Huang, pay more attention to your body and let the imperial doctor take care of you."

"The imperial doctor also said those words, and I was upset when I heard it." Lin Jin picked up the cake and looked at it, "You always yell about eating Fuchunlou's cakes, and it hasn't changed all these years." Lin Jin couldn't help thinking of Lin Xuan The look of being lazy when I was a child, the face is softer.

"Oh - it's not that the emperor doesn't take me out of the palace. Every time he comes back to coax me, he always brings me pastries from Fuchunlou. I haven't been in the capital for these years. I almost forgot what Fuchunlou is like. Don't buy it now. To satisfy my hunger, I sent someone into the palace to give some to the emperor's grandmother." Memories from the past flooded in, making my whole body warm.

"No, once when I went back late, the doors of Fuchun Building were closed. I was afraid that you would cry if you didn't eat the cakes, so I ordered the imperial chef to imitate them. You have a bad mouth to eat them differently. You must say that the cakes are not from Fuchun Building. The chief chef stayed up all night in dejection, and took his apprentice to Fuchunlou to eat pastries for a whole day, and insisted on competing with Fuchunlou." Thinking of this, the smile on the corner of Lin Jin's mouth became stronger. Looking deeply at Lin Xuan, he said with emotion: "Baiju is too late, now that Xuan'er is so old, he will never argue with Brother Huang again for pastries."

"Now the prince will buy and eat by himself, and he can still honor the empress dowager and the emperor." Du Penglai muttered while eating the pastry, it's really delicious, and I want to eat enough for tomorrow...

"Hahaha... That's right, this kid won't starve me now." Lin Jin couldn't help teasing Lin Xuan after hearing Du Penglai's words.

"Brother Huang—" Lin Xuan resignedly accepted his fate.

"Changan to the emperor, the prince pays his respects—" Chang An entered the hall and knelt down to pay his respects.

Lin Xuan looked back and asked, "What's the matter with Chang An?"

"Report, my lord—this..." Chang An looked at the emperor, wondering if he should be a general or not.

"Why can't you say it? Just say it—"

"It's the prince. Miss Su's personal maid wants to see the prince, but the guards won't let her into the mansion, so they started fighting at the front door."

"There are other things like this?! But Miss Zhuer? Hurry up and ask the guards to let people in, I'll go and have a look—" Lin Xuan hurriedly stood up, cupped his hands and said, "Come on, brother and minister!" See what's going on."

Lin Jin frowned slightly, although he was suspicious in his heart, he said seriously: "Second brother, go and have a look."

Miss Su's maid?Why did you come to Prince Yong's Mansion?

Lin Xuan didn't say much, and hurried out, leaving Lin Jin and Du Penglai staring at each other, continuing to eat pastries...

Not long after, Lin Xuan rushed back in a hurry, "I made the emperor laugh, the new guards don't understand the rules of the palace."

"Is Miss Su Su Muqing?"

"Yeah—" Lin Xuan nodded.

"I didn't expect the second child to be so predestined with a talented girl. Brother Huang invited Miss Su and she had to evade it several times. Look at the handsome face of the second child, and I envy you in front of me."

"Brother Huang made fun of my younger brother again—" Lin Xuan smiled awkwardly, "Brother Huang came to the mansion today to chat with my younger brother?"

Lin Jin was particularly relaxed when facing Lin Xuan. After hearing Lin Xuan's words, he patted his leg and said solemnly: "If you don't tell me, I will forget that the prime minister's position is closely related to the country's society. Now that the left prime minister has been vacant for a long time, how much is the court?" Both eyes are staring. Li Chengxian has already been removed, and there are many ministers in the imperial court with deep roots. I am very afraid that I will no longer want to use the old man. I discussed with Taifu Ji yesterday, and when will the candidate be—"

Hearing this, Lin Xuan's face became solemn, and Liu Fei's matter came to mind again, staring at Lin Jin's face, she could vaguely see three points of herself, sometimes it was hard for Lin Xuan to imagine that such a gentle emperor brother would have such a means?Lin Jin saw that Lin Xuan's gaze was a bit chilly, and she was quite surprised, and stopped talking, and said softly, "Xuan'er—?"

"Well, Brother Huang—" Lin Xuan knew that he had lost his composure, and hurriedly responded, "I don't know what Brother Huang is talking about and who should be chosen? Those who can be appreciated by Brother Huang and Taifu Ji must be very important."

Seeing that the strangeness on Lin Xuan's face disappeared, Lin Jin looked at Lin Xuan for a moment and continued: "Zhou Chuan——"

"Zhou Chuan—?" Lin Xuan's eyes flashed with astonishment, and he asked, "Brother Emperor, why would you think of this person? It is said that this person has a rather weird personality, and he was an official during the reign of the first emperor, but his achievements were mediocre. But he wrote books Li said that it is not an exaggeration to call it Confucianism, and calligraphy and painting are also unique, and it is hard to find a thousand gold."

"Zhou Chuan? It's hard to ask, it's hard to use—" Du Penglai has heard a lot of his legends, and this person is extremely tricky.

Lin Jin wanted to show off, so he didn't say anything and said with a smile: "If the second child can see this person, then he will definitely not go wrong in asking him to come out of the mountain."

"Is there really such a skill? I have read his "Travel to the World", and I feel that this person's ambition is not on the mountains and rivers but on the courts and temples."

"I sent people to inquire several times and found out that he is now at Dayu Mountain near the capital." Lin Jin deliberately provoked Lin Xuan and said: "Brother Huang also knows that this person has a different personality, so it is the best policy to ask him to come out of the mountain. Penglai going with you should be able to help you, but it is not easy to make this happen. Second child, I entrust this matter to you, so don’t be burdened if it doesn’t work.”

Lin Xuan secretly made up his mind to meet old man Zhou Chuan for a while, looked at Lin Jin and said solemnly: "It is the holy order, and I will do my best."

Seeing Lin Xuan's real action, Lin Jin was secretly happy, and continued calmly: "I know that the second child has a heart, and there are so many weird people. I don't have too many expectations for my brother." He looked around with a smile in his eyes. Du Penglai, "It's getting late, I'm going back to the palace, second child, prepare yourself, and pick a day to meet Zhou Chuan."

"Brother Huang is leaving? Don't you want to go back after lunch?"

"No, it's enough to rest for half a day. When I go back, I need to push the papers for approval. I'm back. If you have nothing to do, go to Anshou Palace and walk around. The emperor's grandmother is talking about you every day." Lin Jin waved her hands and walked out. go.

"Brother Huang, you must pay attention to rest when you are exhausted every day." Lin Xuan instructed.

"By the way, let Concubine Yong visit relatives for a few days. Old man Ji misses his daughter very much recently..."

"Okay—Jun Yue hasn't been back to the mansion for a long time, thank you brother for reminding me." Lin Xuan kept this matter in mind, thinking of going back to discuss with Jun Yue at night.

"Penglai, I will learn chess from you some other day." Lin Jin smiled, and his gentle expression did not have the emperor's airs at all.

"Your majesty, walk slowly. When you are bored in the palace, you often come to the prince to walk around." Du Penglai and Lin Xuan sent Lin Jin out of Yongwang's mansion all the way and got into the car to drive him away.

Seeing Lin Jin's car drove away, Lin Xuan's face changed and he ordered: "Prepare the car, the king is going out of the palace."

"Ah—the prince is going out again?" Du Penglai didn't realize it, but he was dragged by Lin Xuan to the front of the mansion, and he was so precarious that he almost fell Du Penglai.

Du Penglai muttered, "Where is this going?" He hurriedly straightened Lin Xuan's torn clothes, "My lord is really strong, I see you tore my clothes."

"Yi Cui Pavilion." Lin Xuan replied absent-mindedly.

"Ah——? What entertainment place are you going to in broad daylight?" Du Penglai had no time to struggle and was dragged into the carriage...
