Self-help guide for non-professional young masters

There is fresh snow in Chang'an.

The snow hadn't melted yet, and it was sparsely covered with a thin layer of frost. The artistic conception was there, but in Qin Zhiyu's eyes, this beautiful scenery was stinging.

A servant announced in a low voice: "Master Hou, there is a guest outside the door."

By such a coincidence, there was only one person who would come to see him.

Qin Zhiyu changed into plain clothes, walked with heavy steps, and went to meet the young man who was standing in front of the gate, staring at the plaque on the lintel of his mansion with sad eyes. Does Huang's calligraphy look good?"

Jun Ziyou blinked, but still did not look away, "It looks good, but I didn't see it, I was just thinking... the word Ding'an, whose An is it..."

Qin Zhiyu welcomed him into the door. As a junior, Jun Ziyou said politely, "Thank you, Lord Hou, for condescending to welcome you in person. This junior is deeply terrified."

But until the end, this was the only sentence he liked.

Soon, he couldn't wait to ask: "Why did Lord Hou secretly dig Jingling and disturb those former officials who were buried with him... and his peace?"

The other party didn't answer, but walked quickly with his head down, leading him to a path that he had never been before, along this path, passing through a rockery, and he came to a place full of weeds, desolate and desolate, and it seemed that there had been no one for a long time In the small courtyard where I came.

Qin Zhiyu put his hands in his sleeves, looked at the familiar scenery, and said with emotion: "I haven't been here for decades. After his death, I ordered people to close this place, and no one can come here." .Although it is deserted, everything here remains as it was when he was there, not a single plant or tree has been trampled down."

"These years have passed, and people are no longer the same as they used to be. Will the vegetation... still be the vegetation of the past?"

"Grass and trees are ruthless, and they will grow wildly if they are not controlled. It is said that cutting the grass and removing the roots, as long as the roots are still there, they will be born and die, and they will be resurrected, and they will still be the same as before."

Jun Ziyou was noncommittal, and asked, "Where does Hou Ye plan to start?"

"Why don't you start with... the Jingling fire case you first investigated. What I can tell you clearly is that Queen Lin and the deposed prince Li Chonghua did die in the fire, and the person who killed them was Huan Yi. "

"Why?"

"Because only when the blood of the former royal family is cut off can their incense continue. Maybe this sounds contradictory to you, but you are so smart, you must have thought of the reason."

The man looked away, and said a conjecture that he had already conceived: "The son of the abolished prince is Lord Lin."

"No, he's your father."

"To me, a stranger I've never met is just Mr. Lin."

"I really don't care, why did you come to Xingshi to ask the crime?"

Without waiting for Junziyou to explain, Qin Zhiyu said again: "You are right, the fire was set by Queen Lin back then. She took poison and set the fire after the abolished prince hung himself on the beam, and let her body sink in the corner of the fire. This series of actions , all in order to allow her grandson to secretly hide Chen Cang, get rid of his identity as a remnant of the previous dynasty, and live a good life."

"In this case, what role did you play, Lord Hou?"

"Maybe...the executioner." Qin Zhiyu admitted what he had done, "I'll tell you the truth, back then, the grandparents owed the court so much that their titles were once cut off. The god-sent opportunity to rescue him, this matter is not on the old man's head. The year when the incident happened was the second year that the old man served the emperor, and he was only twenty years old. Investigating this case, I came up with an astonishing result, which made the emperor look at me with admiration... However, on the night when I went deep into the scene, someone knocked on the door of the mansion and brought in a young man with burns on his body. He was Xi Ci. And the person who sent him here was Huan Yi."

At that time, Huan Yi had already entered the palace, facing the young Qin Zhiyu, without saying a word, he pushed the young man towards him, turned around and left.

Qin Zhiyu asked him what he meant, but the other party just replied with a simple sentence...

"'Don't understand? From now on, his life is in your hands. Whether he lives or dies, whether he goes or stays, it's up to you.'...He said this to me."

Qin Zhiyu, who was immersed in the memory, suddenly came back to his senses, and found that Jun Ziyou was trembling slightly, smiled apologetically, took him to the old residence, and continued to tell.

"At that time, Xi Ci was in his teens, and he was already sensible. I heard that he was born to the deposed prince and a court lady. When the court lady became pregnant, Huan Yi learned about this, took him away from Jingling, and made offerings outside the city. Days, until Xi Ci was born. As soon as he came into the world, Huan Yi simply and resolutely killed his biological mother and handed him over to the nurse to raise him... He didn't know his life experience until shortly before the death of the deposed prince."

Jun Ziyou said with emotion: "Then his experience is really similar to mine. I also did it after my father died...forget it. Master Hou mentioned the supervisor many times in his words. What is his position?"

"Oh, Huan Yi, just a shameless eunuch. He is a relative of Empress Lin, and he is considered to be the cousin of the deposed prince. He was still an ignorant child when soldiers came to the city. Emperor Taizu was soft-hearted and did not kill them all, so he took him When entering the palace, I don't know which nobleman is meddling in other people's business. He is afraid that he will cause trouble in the future, so he... You also know that children with poor foundation and too much blood loss will kill people. The eunuchs who enter the palace every year are You have to resign yourself to fate, and Huan Yi is no exception. So back then, the nobles in the palace wanted to kill him."

"and after?"

"For some reason, Concubine Jin, who had harmed him, fell into the cold palace. A few years later, Huan Yi avenged his blood. It is true that it is not too late for him to take revenge, but if he killed his enemy when he was young, I would I admire him even more."

So if you really want to count the relationship, this Eunuch Huanyi and Junziyou are still somewhat related by blood.

He thought for a while, and suddenly felt something was wrong, "When Emperor Taizu... the chief supervisor should have been a hundred years old?"

"To this day, Huan Yi is not alone. It can be said that he has become an official. The real Huan Yi back then is long gone. After him, someone from Dongxi No. [-] Factory inherited his will, which is what you see today. The thousand-year-old."

"Is this matter... well known? The emperor knew that there was such a threat around him, but he still tolerated him?"

"The purpose and position are different. Huan Yi's existence is not necessarily a bad thing for him, it's just for mutual use. Closer to home, when Huan Yi rescued Xici from the fire scene, his purpose was to take revenge for using him. Even I was just a part of his plan A pawn. I often think, if I killed him decisively back then, maybe..."

Looking back in memory, Lin Xici was still an ignorant young man sixty years ago, only to learn of his life experience not long ago, and then suffered an accident, almost died in the fire scene, when he first met Qin, he was still in shock, hiding behind the door revealing a pair of timid Eyes, begging silently.

At that time, Qin Zhiyu was still an inexperienced young man with no decisive skills in killing. Although he knew that this young man would become his failure in the future, he couldn't bear to kill him all.

So he gave Lin Xici a chance to choose.

"Poisoned wine, called Seven Years' Hate, is buried deep underground for seven years before it can arouse the strongest poison. When the wine enters the throat, the liver and intestines will be broken. It hurts, and it only hurts like a cup of tea. It won't be long, it will be soon. You can’t feel anything anymore, and it’s really nothing compared to the rest of your pain in the rest of your life.”

Facing Qin Zhiyu's bewitchment, Lin Xici smiled lightly, and said, "Master Hou, minors are not allowed to drink alcohol."

The implication is: I am young and I want to live.

The most absurd thing Qin Zhiyu did in his life was to keep Lin Xici behind and raise him in his own mansion.

At that time, the imperial court had not returned his title and title, and the only one willing to be close to him was Yin Qian Lansheng of Shuntian Prefecture.The two chatted very happily, and each admired the other's knowledge and literary talent, so they often went to each other's residences.

Lord Qian has a precious daughter named Duoduo. Xiao Lin Xici is four years old and often comes to visit with his father. Qin Zhiyu can always see Lin Xici looking at Qian Duoduo chasing butterflies in the courtyard with a dumbfounded expression on his face. From the back, the girl just pulled her long hair casually, and her naturally falling hair matched her palm-sized face. When she looked back, her profile was really beautiful.

Then call out a sweet and soft "Brother Xici...", which man can bear it.

Qin Zhiyu taunted him: "If you like it, please ask Master Qian to promise you a lot. Although I don't want to waste too much time on you, the dowry is still affordable. Then you will move out with her. It's better than dangling in front of me and being annoying."

The man twisted his hands behind his back, lowered his eyelids, and shook his head, "I won't like anyone, Lord Marquis. I don't deserve to like anyone. He is thin-skinned and easily shy, but he said that At that time, his face was not red and his heart was not beating, which showed that he had no affection for that girl.

And Qin Zhiyu said this to probe Qian Duoduo's thoughts, and it seemed that he was going to disappoint the little girl.

Qin Zhiyu wanted to sneer, but Lin Xici raised his eyes before him, "Master Hou, you said you hated me, but you never abandoned me, I wonder if you don't hate me that much, Lord Hou?" .”

Subconsciously wanted to refute, but Qin Zhiyu was caught in his smile and couldn't get out when he met the man's eyes full of love.

Adopting Lin Xici was the most dangerous thing he had ever done in his life, in various ways.

Emotionally, Qin Zhiyu gradually had a sustenance, that is, a weakness, so that he carefully protected that person, for fear that someone would touch his weakness.

But where he couldn't see, Lin Xici was plotting a dangerous plan, a dark situation that would set him on fire, enough to burn him to the bone.

Qin Zhiyu watched with his own eyes that person grow from a young boy to a gentle gentleman, watched that person step into a bottomless abyss from a leisurely and comfortable life.

The request in the year of [-] was the beginning of Lin Xi's doomed to bid farewell to the rest of his miserable life.

He said, "Master Hou, I want to enter the court."

At that time, Xianzong had just restored the title of the ancestor of the Qin family, and it was when he was in glory. This request undoubtedly showed Lin Xici's ambition hidden under that beautiful skin.

He asked: "Are you staying by my side, just waiting for the day to fly up the branches and become a phoenix?"

The man said nothing, just smiled lightly.

After a long time, he waited for a rhetorical question, "In Master Hou's mind, am I such a superficial person?"

Qin Zhiyu was speechless.

Lin Xici seemed to be sighing helplessly, but in fact, the uneasiness and uneasiness in his heart was much more than what he showed.

He said: "Your Majesty is on the rise, like the sun in the sky, there shouldn't be any dirty spots around you."

The implied meaning of these words is: I don't want to be the failure of your life.

The author has something to say: I will use some space to describe the story of Daddy Lin, which is the story of the black-bellied emperor attacking x the black lotus. Daddy Lin is Lin Xici, Ziyou's biological father, Daddy Jun is Jun Sigui, Ziyou's adoptive father, and Ziyou has always asked Lin Xi to resign as "Master Lin" because he felt that this person only had kindness to him, and left him a mess that was constantly cut and messed up. Yang En's face is not worth mentioning, so up to this time he has refused to admit that Lin Xici is his biological father, nor admit that he is "Lin Fengchi".

More details will not be spoiled, I will talk about it later!
