The emperor is embarrassed

Lin Yongshang is a man with a plan.

Ever since he received the imperial decree and was on his way to the imperial capital, he had plans. Since he wanted to marry Miss Xu, he had to show sincerity.

Previously, Lin Yongshang really had no intention of getting married.

It's not because he doesn't have desire, it's because he has experienced the days of exile and slavery.Once his life experience is revealed, he is not the only one who is unlucky.Which girl did he marry, and had children, and when he got married, his wife and children would be in bad luck.

He is not afraid of the life of a slave.However, he was afraid that his wife and children would endure such a miserable, lowly life of slavery.

Therefore, no matter how the outside world is talking about it, gossip.After making great progress in the officialdom, Lin Yongshang just put on a monk's face and politely refused.Until last year, Xu Yingyu lived in the Governor's Mansion.

Lin Yongshang is also a normal man.

Xu Yingyu is good-looking, and she was born in a prime minister's family, even though she had divorced once.But such a smart and intelligent woman showed her favor to Lin Yongshang, Lin Yongshang retreated, determined to keep the distance between himself and Xu Yingyu.However, while retreating, Lin Yongshang was secretly rejoicing deep in his heart.To have a woman like Xu Yingyu admiring him, both from the heart and a man's self-esteem, brought Lin Yongshang a sense of satisfaction that was hard to give up.

He likes this woman, just like Xu Yingyu's love for him.

Otherwise, he would not hesitate so much when dealing with the Xu family in Huaiyang.

During the emperor's enthronement ceremony, Lin Yongshang was fortunate enough to witness Du Ruo's appearance. At that moment, he almost thought he had misread it.

Afterwards, the reuse of the emperor seemed to give Lin Yongshang a glimmer of hope.

This kind of hope comes not only from Du Ruo's identity, but also from Ming Zhan's background.Different from Feng Jingqian's aversion to Prince Li's lineage, Ming Zhan's biological mother, Empress Dowager Wei, has a close relationship with Prince Li's biological mother, Queen Fang, like a mother and daughter.

What's more, now, the emperor already knows his origin, but still reuses him.

Ming Zhan's attitude brought Lin Yongshang not only forgiveness to the Fan family, but also a gesture.

The family feud has already begun, and Lin Yongshang is in love at the same time. At this time, how can he give up Xu Yingyu?

Hearing from Shen Zhuo that Xu Xiang had taken a fancy to Song Yao, Lin Yongshang sent someone to deliver a post to Xu's house the next day.Now that he has returned to the imperial capital, what kind of family is the Xu family, and he seriously wants to marry a girl, so he naturally wants to visit her door generously and do it according to the etiquette, instead of meeting in the garden like the young lady in the playbook.

With Lin Yongshang's self-confidence, he directly rejected Shen Zhuoyan's proposal from the dog-headed military adviser—Shen Zhuoyan suggested that his wife Wu Wan quietly ask Xu Yingyu out to meet Lin Yongshang.Lin Yongshang despises such a shitty idea.

Xu San confiscated Lin Yongshang's invitation at all, claiming that he had no time to receive Lin Yongshang within two months, and asked him to please.

So, Lin Yongshang went to the door in person that afternoon.

The dignified first-rank governor, the concierge of the Xu family really has the guts to let Governor Lin sit in the concierge and wait idly.Besides, Lin Yongshang is very good at picking the time. Xu Sanguan is a big man and is extremely responsible for the family. He must go home for dinner every day when he is in office, and there is little delay.Lin Yongshang picked Xu San to report to Xu's house in advance when he was in the Yamen. Xu San really didn't want to send his family to beat Governor Lin out.

They are all cultural people, but Governor Lin's face can build a wall.

Xu San had no choice but to order Governor Lin to be invited in.

Governor Lin was very polite, and he met Xu San politely.Xu San didn't accept this at all, waved his sleeves, and said in a cold voice, "Governor Lin is a high-ranking official, and it's not polite to discuss with this official."

"Xu Xiangnai is an elder. If you are a junior, you should be courteous." Lin Yongshang's attitude is very good. No matter how indifferent Xu San is, he is gentle and polite, and he will do things in advance. Open your eyes for the younger generation. Although the lower official is far away in Huaiyang, I know that Xu Xiang loves the lower official, and I am grateful beyond words."

When this was mentioned, Xu San became even more furious, and his words were a little angry, "That's because I'm blind, you don't need to thank me, let alone know my feelings."

Governor Lin sighed and said earnestly, "I know Xu Xiangqi was so angry that I had no choice but to attack the Xu family in Huaiyang. What's more, there is a lot of inside information. Yingyu's woman is a family. I'm afraid she will worry about it, so it's inconvenient to talk to her. However, Xu Xiang is the center of the cabinet, but it doesn't matter."

Boy, who are you scaring with this!Xu San didn't appreciate it, "Since it's a secret, Governor Lin doesn't need to talk to me." He didn't like Lin Yongshang at all.

Lin Yongshang said to himself, "I didn't know many things until I came to Huaiyang. Xiangye, you know that although the Northwest Line of Defense is not said to be impenetrable, the Datong Pass collapsed overnight. Yang Yutong has been in the army for more than ten years , Treason against the country and the emperor must not happen overnight."

"If it's a Tatar, our Dafeng Dynasty has been enemies with the Tatars for generations. I'm afraid they won't be able to bribe Yang Yutong, let him kill the Datong guard, and then lead the Tatar soldiers to the imperial capital?" Lin Yongshang asked.

If Lin Yongshang wanted to say it desperately, Xu San couldn't plug his ears, so naturally he had to listen.It's just that at the critical moment, Lin Yongshang stopped talking and was looking into Xu San's eyes. Xu San still saw Lin Yongshang without wearing it, and didn't speak.How could Lin Yongshang sell a lawsuit with the old man, and said bluntly, "Furthermore, the four tribes of Tatar entered Datong Pass together, two of them went straight to the imperial capital, and the other two went south to Huaiyang, Zhejiang and Fujian. Let me say, Jiangsu and Zhejiang Although the land is rich, the road is far away. Moreover, Huguang, Shandong is also a rich place. These days, I have been thinking that there is only one reason why they went all the way south to Huaiyang, Zhejiang and Fujian. These three places are all As a land near the sea, Yangzhou, Hangzhou is even more famous as a prosperous capital. Sure enough, when the Tatars arrived in Huaiyang, the pirates joined hands to go ashore, plundered several cities in Fujian, and besieged Fuzhou for a whole month. The pirates went ashore It coincides with the time when the Tatar soldiers arrived in the southeast. I can’t believe it if it is said that no one has calculated it.”

"The reason why I know some inside information is because I met an old acquaintance." Lin Yongshang said, "Xu Xiang was born in Sanyuan when Emperor Renzong was Emperor Renzong, so he naturally knew that King Shun had a son who was raised in the palace and later became the East Palace. Accompanying reading by the son. Afterwards, the Supreme Emperor ascended the throne, Prince Shun moved out of the palace, and was demoted to the rank of Prince of Shunjun."

"Feng Jingming, the king of Shunjun, did not die. He went overseas, joined forces with the bandits at sea, bought Yang Yutong, colluded with the Tatars, and intended to subvert the country." One incident brought Bingzhong brothers into the water. If it were not for His Majesty's wisdom, the consequences would be unimaginable. Now, although Feng Jingming's conspiracy has not been punished, but now the sea bandits are under his control, and they fled overseas. It is unpredictable when they will make a comeback If it is said that the Xu family in Huaiyang has no connection with Feng Jingming, will Xu believe it?"

"The emperor doesn't want to admit Feng Jingming's identity now, because he doesn't want to turn over Prince Li's old account. After all, the matter is over. If the old account of Emperor Renzong's time is turned over again, the court will definitely face a big cleansing." Lin Yongshang said seriously, "The Xu family in Huaiyang, let me deal with it, and I will have a sense of proportion. It just so happens that Yingyu is quite helpful in defending the city. Xu Xiangyu is highly valued by the emperor in the imperial capital. This opportunity, except for the Xu family in Huaiyang, can be kept." It's from Xu Xiang's family. As the saying goes, when a bee stings into his bosom, each go to solve it, a poisonous snake bites his arm, and a strong man cuts off his wrist! If the Xu family stays in Huaiyang and grows bigger, the future harm will be unpredictable. After all, Xiang Xu is from the Xu family of Huaiyang , in my hands, the testimony I have tried will be measured. If it is left after the war and sent to the imperial capital for a joint trial by the three divisions, it is inevitable that there will be people who are dissatisfied with Prime Minister Xu. It's far more than that, even Xu Xiang, I'm afraid you will have many embarrassing things."

After hearing a lot of inside information, and Lin Yongshang's tongue is as bright as a flower, Xu San didn't like his family very much, but his anger towards Lin Yongshang subsided a little.In fact, Lin Yongshang is right in saying that it is much better for the Xu family in Huaiyang to fall into the hands of Lin Yongshang than to fall into the hands of San Si.After all, this man surnamed Lin was playing tricks on his daughter, no matter what he did, he had to show some sympathy.

Thinking about it this way, Xu Xiang felt that when Zhao Qingyi sued Lin Yongshang earlier, it was not in vain to speak up for Lin Yongshang.

Xu San's heart softened a lot, but his face didn't change at all. Instead, he asked, "According to what you said, besides the Huaiyang Xu family, I have to thank you."

"How dare, how dare." Lin Yongshang said modestly, "The younger generation, my uncle's love for the younger generation before, the younger generation still has nothing to repay, how dare I ask my uncle to thank me. This is what the younger generation should do." After speaking, Lin Yongshang automatically The relationship with Xu San has been upgraded from a junior official to Xu Xiang to a junior to his uncle, and he has to admire his eloquence.

Xu San was ten years older than Lin Yongshang, and when he called him uncle, he would have ironed it out, but he still held his airs, waved his hand and said, "Don't be so warm, the matter of Huaiyang Xu's family is in the past, I'm He is not an unreasonable person. You don't need to mention other things."

"Yes, yes." Lin Yongshang responded repeatedly, and asked back, "I heard that my uncle is choosing a husband-in-law for sister Yingyu, and I also heard that my uncle has chosen General Song Yao Song."

"You are very well informed." Xu San said sarcastically.This bastard boy won't keep an eye on his girl.Of course, he wouldn't tell Lin Yongshang—his girl really didn't like Song Yao, lest the surname Lin be too conceited.

Lin Yongshang smiled cheekily, "Although she is in Xiaozhong now, Sister Yingyu is not young, and my uncle plans for her, and he is also a loving father. I care about my sister as much as I do, and I also helped my uncle to find out I am quite worried about returning to General Song. Uncle probably doesn't know much about these things."

The person surnamed Lin didn't want to speak ill of Song Yao, did he?Xu San squinted his eyes at Lin Yongshang, and Lin Yongshang smiled slightly, "General Song Yao is no better than me, because of his background. Now he is a young talent with a high official position, not to mention the appearance of Pan An and Song Yu born by General Song, and the champion Hou Zhiyong, who has a bright future. Immeasurable. Uncle fell in love with General Song because of his good vision. Forgive me, my juniors, to speak plainly. In today’s imperial capital, any family with a girl of the right age would not want to marry their daughter to General Song. I heard that even the emperor also likes it. The intention of offering marriage was rejected by General Song. I don’t know if Uncle knows, but why did General Song do this?”

Without waiting for Xu San to speak, Lin Yongshang continued, "It stands to reason that General Song is eighteen years old, which is a good age for marriage, and even though he is the guard general of Datong Gate, he is only a temporary representative. There are 5000 defenders in Datong, and [-] are soldiers brought by General Song from Shanxi-Gansu and assigned by the Marquis of Pingyang. When he was promoted by the emperor to be the defender of Datong, General Song was only a first-rank and third-rank striker. No more than [-] people in his direct lineage. Now that General Song is a young man who has never been weak, no matter how peerless his martial arts are, it is not easy to suppress those elite soldiers under his command."

"Uncle, think about it, even if the champion of the Han Dynasty, Huo Qubing, was brave, it was because he had an uncle who was a general, an aunt who was the empress of the Eastern Palace, and a cousin who was the prince of the Eastern Palace. However, General Song now, He has nothing but the respect of the emperor." Lin Yongshang talked eloquently, dressed in black fox fur, with extraordinary charm, "The emperor highly valued him, promoted him exceptionally, and entrusted him with reuse. However, whether he can hold the position of General Datong depends on Song Song. The general's ability. At this time, if there is a strong Yue family, it will be of great and crucial help to General Song."

"Then why did General Song still not mention the matter of marriage at this time?" Lin Yongshang complimented, "To tell the truth, uncle, I have never seen the daughter of other people's family. Sister Yingyu, I know. Sister When it comes to family background and character, even if he is a few years older than General Song, my uncle is the emperor's teacher, and it is enough to match Song Yao."

"Because it is related to my sister's life, I specially sent someone to inquire about it, and I found some traces." Lin Yongshang lowered his voice and said mysteriously, "I will tell you my uncle, not only General Song is unmarried. Just go The second-year-old Wu Bang, Zhao Lingyan, the counselor under the command of General Song, is also too old and weak, and has not yet married. I heard that the two of them sleep together in the same bed."

Seeing the change in Xu San's face, Lin Yongshang hurriedly looked worried, and added fuel to the fire, "It's about my sister's life. Uncle has always cherished my sister like a pearl in the palm of my hand. Uncle, please think twice."

"You don't need to worry about it." Xu San never expected that Lin Yongshang was talking nonsense, and he had the reputation of a bad guy, General Xiao Song.He just felt that he finally saw a suitable one, but broke his sleeves ahead of time, so unlucky!

Lin Yongshang's wishful thinking, and Xu San's help, is not some kind of aunt and six wives, who is not strict with his mouth, and grinning everywhere.On the contrary, to achieve Xu San's position, a strict mouth is a must.Since Xu San had made Song Yao's idea about this matter, then Xu San would definitely not reveal the matter of Song Yao's cutting off his sleeve.Even if Lin Yongshang made up nonsense, as long as Xu San didn't tell, and Lin Yongshang didn't tell, who would know?

Naturally, there is no such thing as offending General Xiao Song.

Lin Yongshang looked like a gentleman, and persuaded Xu Sandao, "I know that my uncle doesn't like the younger generation. He is just a parent. Is it for the sake of the smoothness and beauty of his children? If my uncle has a better candidate than the younger generation, and my sister likes it, the younger generation is heartbroken. It's not that there is no adult beauty and heart." Taking a glance at Xu San's face, Lin Yongshang took the opportunity to recommend himself, "But, if uncle sees that the younger generation still has merit, I wonder if uncle can give the younger generation a chance?"

Xu San took a deep look at Lin Yongshang, he was indeed hesitant.

Although Lin Yongshang is a few years older, he is a rare candidate.Although there was something about the Xu family in Huaiyang before, now that Lin Yongshang came to explain it, Xu San's mind was a little more active, he thought about it for a while, and finally sighed, "No, you can't."

Lin Yongshang was not discouraged, and even his face did not change in the slightest.He dared to go to the gate of Xu's house, so he was naturally prepared, and asked respectfully, "There is always a reason. Uncle is to see if I am worthy of sister Yingyu? If I am not in line with you, uncle, look at it." In the face of my sincerity, please give my little nephew some advice."

Although Lin Yongshang didn't quite like being a son-in-law, Xu San didn't want to have an affair with him either. After all, Lin Yongshang's abilities are here and his future is boundless.Xu San waved his hand, pointed to the chair, and asked Lin Yongshang to sit down.

Lin Yongshang didn't get a seat since he entered the room. This is an explanation, a lie, and it depends on the face of the old man, and his legs are sore.As soon as his butt was touching the chair, he heard Xu Sandao, "Yongshang, you are an official. I used to teach my dog ​​about your self-improvement before. However, you are too scheming, so I will tell you Let's just say it directly, I can't let go of marrying my daughter to you."

"I only have a daughter, Yingyu, and I love her more than my son. A daughter is different from a son. A daughter is going to marry off. After that, it depends on her husband's family." Xu San sighed, "You don't even care about Song Yao. The investigation is so clear that I am no stranger to the affairs of my family. I have three sons who are kind-hearted, but the sons are not like their fathers, and their tactics are far from yours. In the future, they will definitely not have your future. Now, you I want to marry my daughter. It's not that I don't believe you, it's just that I can't help myself when I'm in the court. Not to mention your family background, your surname is Lin. At that time, Fan Xiang, with all due respect, was named Fan Linxi. You took Lin from among them. The character is the surname, Yongshang, the same as the word 'Yongshang'."

Xu San drew two words in the air, and sighed, "You have never forgotten your family feud, and only now do you think about marrying a wife. Among them, how much is because of liking for Yingyu, how much is because of Do you want to use my strength to give you more confidence in rehabilitating the case of the Fan family?"

Lin Yongshang said sternly, "Uncle, we have been officials in the same palace for nearly ten years. Uncle naturally knows how I got to where I am today step by step."

"Even before, there were not a few people who wanted to be matchmakers with me. It's not that there were no high-ranking officials. If I wanted to use the power of my wife's family to rehabilitate the Fan family, I wouldn't wait until today to bring up the wedding." Lin Yongshang earnestly Said, "Even if I have some imprints on my body, if I want to marry a noble family and marry a woman, they will have to recognize any imprints. I am still unmarried, and I am indeed born. , I also want to propose marriage to you after the family matter is resolved."

Speaking of this, Lin Yongshang was still a little embarrassed, "I just heard that you look down on me and want to choose another son-in-law for my sister. I am really honest, so I came to the door with the cheek."

Lin Yongshang explained earnestly. Seeing Xu San's complexion softened, he immediately resorted to his trump card and said, "If you are worried that I will change my mind in the future, you don't have to worry about it. You don't know that I was not my sister's opponent in the Governor's Mansion before. The knife knocked me out.

"As he spoke, Governor Lin added shyly, "Besides, my sister also stripped off my clothes." "

Xu San never expected that there would be such an affair between the two of them, so he was dumbfounded!
