Self-help guide for non-professional young masters

"Returning to the emperor, Junziyou did die of illness at Suyun Temple. He was cremated according to his own wishes. Now he is enshrined in the temple. Only those who were close to him before his death can go to offer incense. Knowing his funeral, King Jin was in a trance, and he never went out after being sent back to the palace. Later, he also went to visit King Jin, but was turned away. Possibility of falsification."

Hearing Hua Budao's report, Emperor Yuan sighed, "It was I who demoted the gentleman, and it was I who imprisoned him to stay in Yunguan. Something happened to him, and King Jin was in great pain. He must have hated me so much for killing him." The uncle of the important person..."

"I also feel that Junziyou's death is strange. Although he has a chronic illness, he has been treated for many years and has not recovered, but the illness is good and bad. When it doesn't happen, there is no discomfort. It is not that he has just arrived at Suyun Temple for ten days. Sudden illness and death, I'm afraid..."

"I was worried that someone would attack him secretly, so I ordered him to write more poems and send them to the palace. If I didn't want to, I still couldn't save his life. It seems that the person who shot secretly despised was not Jun Ziyou, not Jin Wangfu, but My lord... Speaking of it, his illness was serious for a while earlier, because he was poisoned, and he always coughed up blood when he had asthma, but he got better after that, and I never heard of him He's not healthy... you go and find out what kind of poison he took at that time."

"The humble job will do it."

He said so, but Hua Buzhi didn't move for a long time, Emperor Yuan asked again: "What are you doing here, why don't you go and do it?"

"Actually... when I came back from a humble position, I passed Dali Temple and saw the people in the capital spontaneously seeing off the gentleman. Although he died of illness after being demoted, and his funeral was rushed, but the relevant people involved in the case still remember his memory. Kindness, many relatives who were ruined by Zhende's gambling dealers wanted to seek justice for him. Dali Temple closed its doors, and they couldn't kneel for a long time. It's been a long time. I feel that I shouldn't clean it up sooner. , something might happen later."

Emperor Yuan shook his head, got up and walked out of the hall, blowing the cold wind in late autumn, feeling uneasy.

It was a coincidence that the day when the gentleman wandered away happened to be the last day of the rainy season in Chang'an.Later, the rain stopped, and the sky became cold. The wet breath was a sign that heavy snow was coming.

"I ordered you to give a result before winter, it doesn't matter if it's true or false, what you want is to stop the people's mouths and calm the king's heart a little bit. Let Jin Wang take a rest these days and solve his problems." The feet are grounded, and he can go wherever he wants. It is true that I have betrayed him. Killing Junziyou is just crushing his heart. How will he live in the days to come..."

After thinking about it, Emperor Yuan took off the gold silk embroidered dragon pattern belt and threw it to Huabushi, then turned around and returned to the palace, and slowly took off the dragon robe.

"No, I still have to go to the palace, it's still the old rules."

"Humble post obeys the order."

In the afternoon, the guards guarding the palace gate confirmed that Hua Bushi's badge was correct, and then let him out of the palace. "Hua Bushi" didn't delay for a moment. He drove his horse to Dali Temple to see the situation, then turned around and went to the prime minister. government.

When he arrived, Li Ying was sitting under the porch looking at the scenery, slowly spreading the bait into the blue and white porcelain basin, watching all kinds of goldfish floating on the water and vying for food, his brows furrowed even tighter.

Sensing someone approaching, he didn't raise his eyes, his fingertips lightly touched the surface of the water, and then flicked the drop of clear water out, which happened to land on the opponent's feet.

"First, you isolated the minister and made him useless and disabled, and now you killed the few trustworthy people around you. My emperor, you really want to make yourself a lonely person."

Emperor Yuan, who was ignorant of flowers, did not defend himself, and sat beside Li Ying, lifting the man's trousers with his warm hands, stroking his cold lower limbs, his words were full of regret.

"It was I who misunderstood you and brought you to this point. I want to say sorry."

"Misunderstanding, sorry... For me, at least there is room for an apology, but can he still hear it?"

Speaking of this, Li Ying became emotional suddenly, raised his hand and overturned the iron plate containing the bait, and yelled at people: "You don't know what regrets are until you die? Everyone else is an ant, and life is worthless in your eyes." Worth, you can only see your country and your country, selfishness is outrageous, I quit! Xiao Jingyuan, I quit! Whoever loves to be the prime minister, let whoever endures your constant suspicion for ten years, One day you will suffocate in your own doubts, but you deserve it..."

He was so angry that he wanted to get up and run away from this man who once gave him hope, but now pushed him into the abyss of despair, even if he had already been unable to move an inch, even if he fell to the ground, he had to endure the severe pain, and he was using a pair of thin and weak Hands, trying to prop up the disabled body, away from the cold-blooded and ruthless emperor like a ghost.

"Li Qing..."

Li Ying turned around and shook off the man who was holding his hand, no matter how hard he could restrain his emotions, he burst into tears: "Let go! Xiao Jingyuan, my relationship with your monarch and minister has come to an end, as early as when you decided to abandon Junziyou in order to win over Ding'anhou, We are doomed to be strangers. Thank you for your love these years, I am already tired of the position of prime minister, tomorrow I will return the treasure seal to the court, and from now on, you and I will have nothing to do!!"

Emperor Yuan wanted to persuade him, but Li Ying's cry alarmed the snow wolf lying outside the court, growling and threw himself in front of the man, seeing him as a villain who bullied the Lord. Had to withdraw.

It was thought that Li Ying spoke harshly out of anger, but unexpectedly, the next day, he actually sent someone to send Baoyin back to the palace.

The news of Prime Minister's resignation quickly spread throughout the government and the public. Although he had temporarily handed over the affairs of the court to the three provinces to heal his wounds, he hastily resigned after the demoted Shaoqing of Dali Temple died of illness, which inevitably makes people think deeply about the connection. .

There are many people in the court who are discussing that maybe something big is going to happen. When the gentleman is around, he will disturb the court, and when he is gone, he can still affect the situation in the capital. He is really a mischievous monster.

No matter how high the external storm was, it did not affect Xiao Beicheng who was resting in the palace.

Hearing the news of Junziyou's death, Mo Wencheng came all the way from Gusu to the capital, hoping to persuade King Jin to untie his knot as soon as possible. Seeing that the man was in a calm mood, he felt worried.

He knows this person's temper, he always puts his face in the way of things and refuses to vent, and sooner or later he will get sick sooner or later.

Mo Wencheng persuaded: "As early as when the prince went to Gusu, the old man said that Jun Ziyou was not the best candidate to assist the prince. The prince insisted that he did not believe in God's will, so he insisted on reusing him. The current situation is also in line with the old man's wishes." Worrying..."

"You don't have to worry, Senior Mo. When you were still in the Qin Tianjian, you said that this king is destined to have a catastrophe. You said the same thing when you met Jun Ziyou. This king is used to it."

"The old man can't bear to see that the prince is hurt by this. Some words may be inappropriate, but for the sake of the prince, the old man still needs to remind. You...have you never doubted the identity of this gentleman?"

Xiao Beicheng replied without hesitation: "It's just a scribbler who roams the mountains and plains, what's there to find out."

Mo Wencheng smiled meaningfully, "The old man was still thinking about why the prince would trust a young man of unknown background, saying that he discovered his talent from the scriptures is too far-fetched. I just heard that the prince has already thought about it After answering a hundred times, the old man finally understands, it seems that from the very beginning, my lord, you know Junziyou well, including...knowing that his former surname was Lin."

The movement of the man holding the teacup froze, hesitating for a moment, then he stopped and looked at the other person quietly.

"More than 20 years ago, due to an old incident in the court, Master Lin Xici, who was then a minister under the door, was involved. Master Lin, who was unjustly imprisoned, could not help being tortured and died in prison. The widow of Lin escaped with the help of former Prime Minister Li Sansi. Leaving the capital, he died of weak breath after giving birth to a posthumous child in Gusu. The old man had heard a little about this matter in Qin Tianjian, and heard that Mr. Lin was upright and gentle, so he felt that this matter was suspicious. Gusu investigated the case back then, but she didn’t want to find out the details that made the old man creepy.”

"Oh? What are the details?"

"The dead Master Lin Xici seems to have an inseparable relationship with the former royal family."

When Mo Wencheng was speaking, he looked at Xiao Beicheng's expression, and seeing that he was not surprised at all, he knew that this matter was also in his expectation.

"It's been more than a hundred years since the previous dynasty fell, and the remnants of the party fell apart. Even if they got involved with Mr. Lin, Dayuan's national strength is strong, and they can still be brought down by them."

"My lord is open-minded, and his words are reasonable, but monarchs have been suspicious throughout the ages, and it is human nature for the first emperor to worry about the remnants of the previous dynasty."

"So do you think that the late emperor killed Lin Xici?"

Xiao Beicheng's eyes turned sharp, Mo Wencheng bowed his head and apologized, "Forgive me, my lord. I don't dare to jump to conclusions. I just explained the facts. Afterwards, I investigated the matter in depth. It can be said that Lin Fengchi, the posthumous son of Lord Lin Xici After digging three feet, we finally found a teacher named Jun."

"You want to say that he is Jun Ziyou's father?"

"To be precise, it is the adoptive father. This Mr. Jun has never married a wife in his life, but he has adopted two boys as foster sons, and named them Junzi'an and Junziyou respectively. These two children are about the same age, with the same height and build. They are very similar, and the names are indistinguishable. Later, when Jun Zian died of illness at the age of seven, people called the surviving child Ziyou. After a few years, Mr. Jun became terminally ill and passed away. Finally, they knew their backgrounds. Man also carries secrets into the coffin."

This level of relationship was never found by Xiao Beicheng. After hearing Mo Wencheng's words, he fell into deep thought. With tea on his fingertips, he wrote the names "Gentleman You" and "Gentleman An" on the table, and pretended not to care. Overturned the cup and erased the handwriting.

"You came to the capital specifically to tell me this, because I hope that I can thoroughly investigate Jun Ziyou's life experience, so that I can find out if he is Lin Xici's posthumous son, Lin Fengchi?"

"No and no."

Mo Wencheng took out his handkerchief, wiped off the water stains on the tea table for him, and took advantage of his unpreparedness, he pressed Xiao Beicheng's wrist with his backhand.

"My lord has known for a long time that he has an extraordinary background, but he brought him to the capital, and let him turn upside down, causing huge waves. The purpose is nothing more than...to rectify the name of Mr. Lin Xici."
