true

Here, Jingrui has gone through a big change, his expression has become more stable, and he moves forward and backward with restraint. Although Yujin is noisy, but the spirit in his words is compelling, because he is worried about the depressed Jingrui, he follows him almost Inseparable.

Xia Dong and Nie Feng came here hand in hand, and within three words, they started drinking with Lin Shu.

Afterwards, many people came one after another. Many of the guests knew Lin Xie well, and most of them were people who admired King Qi, so when they saw Jingyan, although they talked respectfully, they were also very alienated.

Jingyan doesn't really care.

He came here just to see Lin Shu. Although he knew that he came back on horseback and his injuries should be fine, he was still worried.

Seeing him, whom he hadn't seen for three years, laughing and drinking with Xia Dong now, he couldn't help feeling relieved.

He also thought of the battle report that was only a hundred words long, and thought of Lin Shu who rode lightly in the snowy night, the spear in his hand danced like a silver dragon under the moonlight, roaring among the enemies, riding his horse and smiling proudly.

He thought, Lin Shu who was so energetic was bought by himself.

worth it.

Yan Yujin leaned over and whispered, Brother Lin Shu, tell me which one you don't like, and give it to me.

Lin Shu absently pointed to one, so this is it.

Yujin happily picked it up, only glanced at it, then put it back respectfully in fright.

Xie Qi came over curiously, "Brother Yujin, what's the matter?"

"That gift is from Prince Jing's residence."

"His Royal Highness Prince Jing...what's wrong?"

"Brother Lin Shu hates other people touching his things the most. Especially the things His Royal Highness Jing Wang gave him. I touched the gun tassel that His Highness Jing Wang gave him before, and he almost wanted to hang me at the gate of the mansion! This thing I love If you really dare to ask for it, brother Lin Shu will take my life!"

Prince Mu's Mansion also sent gifts on this day. Lin Shu's favorite tea and favorite objects, no matter they were expensive or not, were carefully stacked one by one, making a box full.

Seeing that Princess Jinyang's eyes were full of smiles and she had a bright mind, the guests brought up the marriage between Lin Shu and Nihuang again.

Princess Jinyang smiled and said, "I don't care about anything else, but I don't want him to leave when he comes back this time, and stay in Jinling. It's so lively here, and your friends are here too."

Lin Shu just smiled and didn't speak, quietly looking at Jingyan who was standing under the tree, but he couldn't find him.

Just as he was about to speak, he heard a sound of spring thunder in the distance.

It began to rain heavily.

The guests went to the hall to hide from the rain in a panic.

Seeing that Xie Qi was annoyed that the dress she just made today got wet, Yujin smiled and comforted her, knowing that the rain in this spring is very precious, so you just think that the gold beads fell on your clothes.

Jing Rui looked at the rain that was getting heavier outside, feeling a little worried, "It's too late, this year's rain is too much."

----

This day is supposed to be Muxiu, but Jingyan received the order early in the morning to enter the palace to face the saint.

When I got to the study, I saw that the ministers of the Ministry of Household Affairs, the Ministry of Industry, and the Ministry of War were all there, as well as Lin Shu.

"This year, the rain and snow haven't stopped since the beginning of spring. The rain is abundant...but it's too late." Emperor Liang flipped through the memorial on the table, "Ling flood disasters have come out one after another in various places, and this is why you came this time. Let's do it."

"I heard that there have been several places in the south where the river overflowed the embankment, but it did not cause any serious harm." The Minister of the Household Department said, "But the leader of the Chiyu camp, Lin Shu, passed by the Qishui on the way back to Beijing, and found that the embankment there was unexpectedly It's mostly old."

"Lin Shu, is there such a thing?"

Lin Shu took a step forward and said, "Reporting to Your Majesty, the embankment has already been damaged in many places. I'm afraid there will be no flood, but the embankment will break through when the ice breaks in warmer weather."

Emperor Liang frowned when he heard that, there was indeed a flood in the Qishui area, but it was many years ago.

The minister of the Ministry of Industry stepped forward and said, "I sent someone to check it out. The dam is really decayed. There are thousands of hectares of fertile land downstream, and there are thousands of farmhouses. If the ice melts in spring and the levee breaks, I'm afraid it will be serious." It has an impact on farming, and it will wash away houses when there is more rain in summer."

"It's just that there are not many troops in the fields in the Qishui area, and it's the busy farming season, so time is tight and manpower is insufficient."

"Then tell me what to do."

The Ministry of Industry, the Ministry of Households, and the Military Department knelt together and asked to transfer half of the current Jinling defenders to help speed up the repair of the river embankment, so that at least it could be repaired before early summer, otherwise people in this area would be in danger of dying from the flood.

The three of them seemed to have a tacit understanding long ago. The deployment of troops, the money used, and the preparation and transportation of materials were all detailed one by one.

Emperor Liang seemed to be listening carefully, without comment.

At the end, he suddenly asked, "Jingyan, what do you think?"

"My son thinks it's not right."

Lin Shu suddenly turns his head to look at Jingyan in surprise.

"The defenders of Jinling are to defend the capital, and they are all elite. Now that all the elite are out, if they are used by those who want to, the entire capital will not be able to defend."

Emperor Liang nodded in satisfaction and gave a few words of praise.

Lin Shu couldn't help arguing with Jingyan.

In his memory, Jingyan was not good at arguing, and when he was too angry when talking to others, he simply didn't explain much, and was sullen all by himself.

At that time, I said to him, in the future, if you can't say it, I will help you to say it. I know what you think.

Who is this person in front of him who is relentlessly fighting against him?

Although Lin Shu has excellent eloquence and a strategic mind, he still lacks the calmness honed over the years.

What makes him even more chilling is that no matter what the reason is, the king must never despise human life.

And the Xiao Jingyan in front of him, just to conform to the emperor's idea, disregarded the lives of nearly ten thousand people.

This is not the Jingyan he knew.

Angry to the extreme, Lin Shu couldn't choose what to say, "Are you going to take nearly [-] lives and sit in this impregnable city of Jinling in the future?"

Jingyan knew very well that Emperor Liang would never allow the troops to stay away from Jinling, and even if these officials kneel through the stone bricks here, they would not be able to move a single soldier.

He also remembered that although it was rainy in the spring of this year, it suddenly dried up in summer and the river did not flood. Therefore, the Qishui dam can wait until the autumn harvest to repair it, and the autumn and winter are long enough without calling in troops.

But facing Lin Shu, he couldn't say anything.

"Lin Shu." Emperor Liang, who was sitting on a chair watching their quarrel with cold eyes, said, "Is that what you just said to the Prince?"

Lin Shu was taken aback.

Jingyan was also stunned.

The three ministers looked at Lin Shu who had made a passionate statement just now, and watched the fire in his eyes die down little by little.

Lin Shu knelt down and begged Emperor Liang, "I'm sorry."

After Emperor Liang waved him to get up, Lin Shu turned around again, facing Jingyan, and knelt straight down.

Jingyan shuddered all over, staring blankly at Lin Shu who was kneeling in front of him, as if he had returned to that snowy day, the bell that fell to the ground in the secret passage.

Mei Changsu knelt down in front of him with a pale face.

【Your Highness...】

Lin Shu said, "I have offended you a lot just now, please forgive me, Your Highness Prince Jing."

Listening to him speak calmly, Jingyan feels his whole body is cold, his lips parted, but he can't say anything.

Emperor Liang waved his hand with a gloomy expression, "This matter can't be postponed. The Ministry of Households will first write the required money and report it to the Ministry of Works. The Ministry of Works will see if there is any way to shorten the construction period."

The Minister of the Ministry of War wanted to speak, but was stared back by Emperor Liang.

Emperor Liang glanced at Lin Shu and Jingyan who were standing aside, and sighed heavily. Although he wanted Jingyan to help him oppose the Ministry of Industry and others, he didn't want him to turn against Lin Shu, "The Empress Dowager is not feeling well today. Before the two go back, go to see her old man's house."

-

The Empress Dowager was drinking her medicine, and when she saw Lin Shu and Jingyan coming in, she immediately waved to them happily, "You two are still the same as when you were young, and you are inseparable for a moment."

The two looked at each other.

We used to be inseparable, but now we haven't seen each other for three years.

"Xiao Shu, you've lost weight."

"Grandma..."

"Jingyan, Jingyan has become thinner... What's wrong with you two?" The Empress Dowager touched the faces of the two children with some distress, "Hurry up, eat some snacks."

As he spoke, he put a piece of hazelnut cake in each of their hands.

Lin Shu was stunned, and looked at the Empress Dowager in disbelief, and the maids serving beside her also showed sad expressions.

The empress dowager was getting old, and she couldn't stand the disease after all. This disease turned into confusion, and sometimes she couldn't even recognize people clearly.

Seeing Lin Shu's hesitation, the Empress Dowager asked lovingly, "Xiao Shu, why don't you eat it? Don't you love hazelnut cakes the most?"

Lin Shu couldn't bear to tell the truth, so he endured the pain in his heart and forced a smile to put the hazelnut cake in his mouth.

But Jingyan snatched it away, "Grandma, I like this too."

"Jingyan is still the same as when he was a child, he likes to bully Xiaoshu and grab his snacks." The Empress Dowager patted Jingyan on the shoulder twice, pretending to be angry, "Okay, okay, I have as many snacks as you want. Jingyan, are you married?"

"No."

"Is there anyone you like?"

Jingyan hesitates for a moment, then nods.

"Then as soon as possible...ah, does he like you?" The old man asked again with a smile.

Jingyan also lowered his head and smiled and replied, "He liked it."

--to be continued--

As mentioned in the article, Jingyan did not provide much help.

Someone once asked Lin Chenmeng how Zhi Tingsheng noticed that Jingyan was reincarnated.

Meng Zhi noticed Jingyan's expression after calling out Feiliu.

Tingsheng was earlier, and it was definitely when Jingyan called out his name when he fell into the water.

[I mentioned these two points when I wrote the article. 】

But Lin Chen speculated, from many of Jingyan's actions, he can clearly speculate.
