River stone does not turn

On the morning of the face-to-face ceremony, before dawn, Yin Qiuli had already arrived at the other courtyard.

The face-to-face time was set after the early court, Yin Qiuli was temporarily deprived of the early court qualification by Emperor Guangwen because of the princess, but it was convenient for him to bring people into the palace in person.

Lin Chu had already been awakened by Xiaoyu and took him to take a bath and change clothes.

The place where Yin Qiuli placed Lin Chu was the famous resort of Yinyue City. It was located in the mountains to the west of the city. There were hot springs all over the place. The dignitaries built various gardens by the mountains, or diverted water into their houses, or surrounded them directly.

Being steamed by the warmth early in the morning, while making Lin Chu comfortable, he was temporarily confused.Blushing obediently, Ren Xiaoyu sat and tossed about dressing up for a while, and when he started to wake up, the torment was over, and Yin Qiuli was already standing in front of him.

At this time, Lin Chu was so beautiful that even Yin Qiuli, who had seen countless people, was amazed by it.

The reason for this effect is firstly that Lin Chu’s appearance is really good, and secondly because of Lin Chu’s temperament, he is a quiet person who doesn’t respond much to the outside world, and expressions rarely appear on his face, which makes him It forms a kind of static beauty, very much like the male dolls that are widely popular among girls in East Vietnam.But he is not a puppet, such a face hides an extremely intelligent heart, so that his eyes are not the unfocused eyes of a doll, but clear and spotless.

The effect of this kind of beauty is to make people like it for no reason, and can't help but love and pity. Yin Qiuli also had this reaction subconsciously. Fortunately, he woke up in time, remembering the painstaking efforts of his mother-in-law for more than a month, and deeply understood that Lin Chu's appearance was a lie. human.He hurriedly got down to business, and while taking Lin Chu to eat, he explained the precautions in the palace one by one.

The Xiluo Palace is located on the south bank of Yinyue Lake, built by mountains and rivers, with a regular style, well-proportioned, luxurious and rich.

The main entrance of the palace in the north is its biggest feature.

The main gate was built on Yinyue Lake, and all access depends on boats. Only those with certain status or who have made great achievements are eligible to enter by boat. Therefore, it is a very honorable thing to be able to enter and exit this gate by boat.

There are berths on the east and west banks of Yinyue Lake for ships to park, and the west bank is all official berths for qualified officials to enter and exit by boat.The east bank is full of private berths. These berths are mostly built in houses, and only those who are qualified to enter and exit are allowed to build berths. Therefore, it is a great honor to be awarded the building of berths.

Yin Qiuli's Chenwang Mansion has such honors.But today they came out of the other courtyard, the other courtyard was to the west, and the palace was to the east, so they boarded the boat directly from the official berth on the west bank without detours.

When the two of them entered the north gate, it was the end of the morning court, and the dignitaries were about to leave by boat.

As soon as Lin Chu got off the boat, there was a burst of attention and amazement.

The thoughts and reactions of these dignitaries are the same as Yin Qiuli's. They also have countless people, and there are many peerless beauties around them.But the beauties who can come to them are either passively captured or approached actively.The former is steadfast and steadfast, often appearing in a posture of resentment, tears and resistance, while the latter is diverse, or clever, or sexy, or delicate and charming.

In short, they have never seen Lin Chu like this.It's no wonder that Prince Chen can be fascinated all at once. They also want to have such a beauty.

Seeing this, Yin Qiuli first coughed slightly to express his dissatisfaction, but seeing no effect, his face began to darken, and he scanned the crowd with angry eyes.Everyone restrained themselves, but couldn't bear the evil spirit, and still secretly looked at Lin Chu.

Yin Qiuli was furious. He put his arms around Lin Chu's waist to show his sovereignty, and said sarcastically, "Everyone is so leisurely today? No government affairs to deal with?"

Only then did the crowd come back to their senses, and left by boat one after another.

This time, there were more rumors about the concubine. The Lin family was astonished as a celestial being. Prince Chen was bewitched and doted on by him, and he did not hesitate to break the rules and fell out with the minister at the north gate.

Yin Qiuli took Lin Chu to the Shangxuan Hall, which was the palace where Emperor Xiluo received people who entered the palace on orders.

Just after entering the palace gate, the play started.

The gate of the palace was open, but the gate of the palace was not open. The little eunuch outside the gate reported tremblingly at the gate: "My lord, King Chen has arrived!"

"I'm busy, let him wait outside the hall!" Immediately, Emperor Guangwen's angry voice came from inside the hall.

The little eunuch's face immediately wrinkled, and he looked back at Yin Qiuli, not daring to say anything, only daring to signal: "Look!"

Yin Qiuli did not show weakness, and said loudly: "Brother Huang, it was you who ordered to meet people, and you cannot go back on your word at this point."

"I'm going back on my word! Why did you just agree in a muddle at the beginning?" Emperor Guangwen said angrily, but didn't open the door.

Yin Qiuli was just about to argue about a joke, but someone beat him, rushed in, and knelt down with his lapel folded, and said, "Father, you have no joke! Since you promised this, you can't go back on it! "

The person who came was the crown prince Yin Luoyun, who was ordered to wait to be a peacemaker early in the morning.

As soon as his words came out, Emperor Guangwen became even more angry. He took something casually and threw it on the ground: "What are you doing here? Isn't it messy enough?"

"Father! You and the emperor, one is my father and the other is my uncle. They are both my close relatives. How can I watch from the sidelines when you have something to do?" The prince said affectionately, and deliberately used the word "I" Table close.

Emperor Guangwen seemed to have been poked into the weakness of his heart. He paused for a while before scolding Yin Qiuli: "Look, my nephew is more sensible than you and understands family affection! What about you? You know Qizhen, the emperor brother." Emperor Wen slammed the table, "Come in!"

The door of the temple opened.

Yin Luoyun hurriedly turned around to greet Yin Qiuli, and asked him to come in, but he didn't say anything. Lin Chu was so amazed that he froze in place, with only one thought in his mind: what a beautiful person!It would be nice if it was mine.

Yin Qiuli is well aware of the inferiority of the prince. He is extremely lustful and always likes to use unscrupulous methods. He found Lin Chu with great difficulty, so he couldn't let the prince spoil him, so he hurriedly said: "Nephew, hello uncle this time, thank you Already!"

The prince quickly regained his senses: "You are my uncle, you should."

"Then I'll go in." Yin Qiuli led Lin Chu's hand into the hall.

Lin Chu obediently let Yin Qiuli lead him, like a marionette. Seeing the prince's heart fluttered again, he rubbed his hands and wandered outside in a small area.He had an agreement with Emperor Guangwen not to go in for the time being, but to come in to add fuel to the scene.

"Kneel down!" Emperor Guangwen shouted at Yin Qiuli angrily.

Yin Qiuli didn't face him, and helped Lin Chu to kneel down, and he also knelt down.

Emperor Guangwen became even more angry: "As your imperial brother, I ask myself that I have fulfilled my brother's responsibilities all these years, and I have placed high hopes on you. It's good for you to make such a mess for me? How do you tell me to face it in the future?" To the courtiers? Do you want me to tell them that I have blind eyes and can't even see the heir to the throne?"

Emperor Guangwen's words seemed to reprimand, but they were actually a trap. If he wanted to stick to his own opinion, he would wait to give up his inheritance rights.

Yin Qiuli naturally knew that although he would never lose today, he couldn't be suppressed as soon as he came up, so he avoided the seriousness and played the emotional card lightly: "My brother has been loved by the emperor for many years, and I have always been grateful in my heart."

"Grateful? This is your gratitude?" Emperor Guangwen pointed at Lin Chu and asked angrily. His eyes touched Lin Chu, and he was also slightly stunned. I have to say that Yin Qiuli's vision is still good.

"Brother Huang, calm down, you and your brother are kinship, and your brother and him are like-minded, both of them are true feelings. How can there be conflicts between true feelings and true feelings?"

Emperor Guangwen became even angrier when he heard this: "You actually compare my love for you with him?"

Yin Qiuli hurriedly said: "Brother Huang misunderstood, what I mean is that the two are equally important, and there is no possibility of comparison."

Yin Qiuli spoke with eloquence and emotion, and Lin Chu murmured inwardly after hearing this, the level of sophistry is really high.

Emperor Guangwen knew that this was not the purpose of today's matter, and he could not entangle Yin Qiuli on this issue, not to mention that his eloquence was far inferior to the other party's, so he decisively ended the topic, saying: "My true feelings are regarded as flowing water by you. Now, tell me, how should I explain this to my courtiers?"

Yin Qiuli smiled: "What's the difficulty in explaining? There is no rule in Xiluo law or royal regulations that the princess cannot be a man. Since it is not illegal, why can't you agree?"

This is indeed the negligence of the makers of the law. People subconsciously think that all wives and concubines should be women, and only those with special hobbies will think they are men. Therefore, it was not specifically stated that wives and concubines must be women when it was formulated.

Emperor Guangwen ordered someone to look up the classics after the incident, and he was aware of this, but his purpose was to agree, not not to agree, so he also paid more attention to it. Yin Qiuli mentioned that he directly said the words he had thought of to refute "It's true that there is no such rule! But if you agree easily, can you bear the chain reaction that will happen afterwards? Regardless of the responsibility of the royal family to extend the descendants, in case the people of the country follow suit, the people of Xiluo will drop sharply and hurt What about Guoben?"

"What's so difficult about it? The emperor's brother will give a reward for childbirth." Yin Qiuli has already thought about this kind of problem, and if there is a reward, some people will naturally give birth, and no one will follow suit.

"What about you? What if I pass on the throne to you but you have no heirs, what will happen in a hundred years? Don't tell me about adoptives, stepchildren cannot ascend the throne."

This is a strange rule of the Xiluo royal family. Because there have been several turmoil caused by adoption in history, the royal family has a rule that allows adoption, but does not allow the adopter to be on the throne. In order to prevent the emperor from having no heirs, he would be ruled out.

In fact, the danger of a younger brother's ascension to the throne is almost the same as that of a stepson's ascension to the throne. The former's ascension to the throne is often in the prime of life, which is conducive to the royal family's power, but not conducive to other heirs of the previous emperor.Most of the latter were young when they ascended the throne and had no foundation, which was not conducive to holding power and was easy to be manipulated.In the choice between the emperor being controlled and the emperor's heir being killed, the lawmakers chose the latter, thinking that power stability is more important.

The best way to solve this problem is to marry a few more, but not for Yin Qiuli. He has clearly stated that he has different loyalty to Lin Chu, but he does not marry. If the problem of heirs changes his original intention, it would be a joke.

Of course, Yin Qiuli would not be troubled by this, he already had a way to deal with it.However, to his surprise, Emperor Guangwen didn't give him a chance to answer, but directly aimed at Lin Chu.

"I know you agree with the emperor, but have you ever thought about him, marrying you as his concubine, what will happen to him in the future?" Emperor Guangwen stared at Lin Chu and asked.

Yin Qiuli knew that the other party was pinching Lin Chu's soft persimmon, and he knew that Lin Chu was not a soft persimmon, but he said before that today's matter would be handled by him, and Lin Chu could not really deal with it, so he said: "Brother, he is too shy to answer No."

Emperor Guangwen was overjoyed when he saw it, and poked at Yin Qiuli's weakness, and said angrily, "I haven't agreed yet? You just turned your elbows out? I want him to answer!"

Kneeling on the ground so well, Lin Chu had already figured out Emperor Guangwen's thoughts, knowing that the other party was only trying to get something out of his mouth, and also knew that Yin Qiuli was well prepared, and the other party would never get any benefit.The two sides kept nagging and haggling, but in the end it was only reflected in one thing, that is how long he and Yin Qiuli knelt in the hall.

Originally, Lin Chu didn't care about this kind of thing, didn't he just kneel for a while?He could stand hanging for three days.But it happened that Emperor Guangwen came up in a dilemma, and he judged the situation again and found that he was not unable to fight back, so he attacked decisively.

Lin Chu pushed Yin Qiuli away, kowtowed to Emperor Guangwen for a while, and cried angrily: "My lord, the grassroots had no intention of being interested in the prince. It was the prince who forced the grassroots. The grassroots had no choice but to bear it until now. Only then will they have the opportunity to appeal before the emperor, begging Your Majesty is the master of grassroots!"

These words were like a broken gong, and it hit the ground with a bang, turning a good show into a bad one, and the plot ran wild like a wild horse.
