The Second Young Master of the Lin Family in the Red Chamber
Chapter 039 Turning Point
Chunwei has always been a major event, no one is making trouble, and there are gossips. If it is not handled properly, the involvement will be very extensive. This time, Tu Feng is fanning the flames behind his back. They were all wiped out, and the situation could not be completely suppressed. On the contrary, it gradually spread. At first, there was an uproar in the capital, and everything was said, but now the whole country is talking about it.
In particular, what Tu Hua offended was not others, but the most humble scholars. These people have a good level of swearing. In between, people talked about it and had different opinions.
Just at this time, the weather was not beautiful, and a drought came.Counting from the end of March, in most parts of the north, there has been no rain for two full months, and those lands that were lucky to rain also sprinkled two drops, and the rain cleared before the land was wet.
Originally, these two things had nothing to do with each other, one was a natural disaster and the other was a man-made disaster.But in some places, some people linked these two incidents together, and even pointed the finger at Tu Hua, saying that he was unkind and offended the heavens, and only God would punish the people.
It is impossible to verify where this statement originated, but once it was spread, it spread like wildfire and quickly spread all over the country.
Lin Yu thought that such a chaotic situation was what Tu Feng would like to see.After all, the person sitting on the dragon chair is still Tu Hua. The more he failed as emperor, the less resistance he would have when Tu Feng rebelled against him, and the chance of success would be higher.
However, as the severity of the drought worsened, Tu Feng's eyebrows were furrowed tighter than anyone else, and there was no trace of joy.
Lin Yu and Liu Xuan discussed it, and both thought that Tu Feng was worried about the long-term plan.The world belongs to the Tu family, and Tu Hua messed it up too badly. It is understandable that he would be worried if he was finally asked to clean up the mess.After asking Lin Jin, he realized that Tu Feng didn't think so deeply at all, and his worries were all about the immediate things.The impact of this drought is very wide. In addition to the northern border of the Central Plains, the large grasslands in the southern part of the desert have also been affected. The cattle and sheep of the Wai people do not have enough food, and they will definitely go south to harass them before winter.
Brothers fight against each other, surrounded by powerful enemies, no wonder Tu Feng is worried.What's more, their position is still very bad. Youzhou is located between the capital city and the Monan Grassland.
Of course, as long as Tu Hua was not extremely stupid, she would not have stabbed Liu Ce in the back while leading the army to resist the Wai people, because there was no need for it.He just needs to watch the drama from behind, and wait until the two sides are almost done fighting, and then send people north to clean up the mess.
This is what Tu Feng and his staff are most worried about. Youzhou's military strength and material preparations cannot support two-front combat.
So someone said that they can let the Wai people enter the pass without resistance, and wait until the capital can no longer hold on, and then ambush the Wai people from behind.That staff member may feel that he has clever ideas, speaks eloquently, and has bright eyes, and many others echo his views.
Lin Jin and Lin Yu are not qualified to speak at such a meeting, so they can only listen beside Tu Feng.Lin Jin's expression was relatively calm, except for the slightly furrowed eyebrows, there was almost no difference from usual, while Lin Yu's mouth could not close anymore in surprise.
It turns out that creatures like the leading party do not distinguish between eras and regions. Lin Yu took a deep breath and turned to look at Tu Feng.
What made Lin Yu feel relieved was that although the staff member who spoke was from Deputy General Chen, he didn't show any approval on his face, but pursed his lips imperceptibly.Obviously, Tu Feng didn't have such an idea, and luring wolves into the house can be called the next strategy. Youzhou is the northern gate of the Central Plains. Once the Wai people enter the customs, the situation is beyond their control. Although it is a very good idea, the greater possibility is that the flames of war will reignite, the lives will be destroyed, and the country that the disciples have so easily obtained will fall into the hands of foreign races again.
Lin Jin's thinking was very similar to Lin Yu's, so after the meeting was over, he followed Tu Feng to the study when he saw that everyone had retreated.
Seeing that Lin Jin was accompanying him automatically, Tu Feng knew that he had something to say to him, but after Lin Jin entered the door, he just silently cleaned up the paper and pens on the table without saying a word. Tu Feng couldn't wait, so he asked: " Little Jinzi, don’t you have something to say? Why are you dumb?” Due to long-term habit, Tu Feng always called Lin Jin and Lin Yu by nicknames when they met Lin Jin and Lin Yu. Still the same.
"My lord, you won't... you won't really do that, will you?" Lin Jin bit her lip, and finally asked this question.
Tu Feng was taken aback when he heard the words, obviously he didn't expect Lin Jin to ask such a question, he pondered for a moment and said, "What do you think, do you think I will?"
Without hesitation, Lin Jin shook his head reflexively, "Of course not, the prince is not that kind of person, he wouldn't do that."
Tu Feng smiled in relief, with a light tone in his tone, "Now that you know everything, why do you ask, little Jinzi..."
For others, I couldn't be more happy to be called by Tu Feng so affectionately. For example, Lin Yu has no objection to Tu Feng calling him Xiao Yu'er. The difference in age and identity between the two is there. Tu Feng He is willing to be affectionate to them, what is he dissatisfied with.Lin Jin was also like this before, feeling that he was a different existence to Tu Feng, but now, he didn't want to be treated as a child by him anymore.
"My lord, I'm not..." Lin Jin wanted to defend himself, but after thinking about it, there was no need for it at all. Tu Feng knew what he was thinking, and it was fine if he didn't say anything, but it might be self-defeating if he said too much, so he said in a low voice: "My lord, I have grown up, don't..."
"Don't say anything else?" Tu Feng smiled leisurely, Lin Jin said the last few words too quietly, he couldn't hear clearly.
Lin Jin raised his head suddenly, stared at Tu Feng for a moment and said, "I'm not a child anymore, don't call me Little Jinzi anymore."
"Hahaha..." Tu Feng was taken aback for a moment, and then laughed loudly, "Xiao Jin'er, do you want to be so cute?"
Seeing that Tu Feng didn't take his words seriously, Lin Jin was a little disappointed, but also a little happy. After all, Tu Feng treated him differently from others.What he wants, he can't give. It's not easy for the two of them to have such intimacy. In time, Tu Feng will return to the capital and become a member of the Ninth Five-Year Plan. If he doesn't work hard enough, he may not even be qualified to stand by his side. , These days in Youzhou have already been favored by God for him.
After not seeing Lin Jin's response for a long time, Tu Feng thought he was angry, and said softly, "Little Jinzi, are you angry now?"
Lin Jin shook his head and said in a low voice, "My lord, I still have some things to do, so I'll go back first."
"Go, don't make it too late, reading under the lamp hurts your eyes." Tu Feng didn't hold back, and watched Lin Jin leave his study.
When Lin Jin's figure was gone, Tu Feng sighed quietly.He is sensitive by nature, and Lin Jin is the child he watched and grew up with, so there is no way he doesn't know what he thinks about himself.Contrary to what Lin Jin thought, Tu Feng definitely didn't turn a blind eye to him, or simply treated him like a child.Tu Feng liked Lin Jin, but it was precisely because of his liking that he chose to avoid Lin Jin who was outspoken.
The Dayu Dynasty did not prohibit same-sex love, especially in the case of not delaying the marriage and the inheritance of the family, but there is a premise that the identities of the two parties should be equal, otherwise the one who is obviously in the lower position will definitely be punished by others. Those who look down on him think that he is a servant of Israel.
There is this problem between Tu Feng and Lin Jin. As long as they are together, no matter what the actual situation is, Lin Jin's future will be bleak.If Tu Feng succeeds, he will be classified as a sycophant. Not to mention Tu Feng's failure, he will definitely not be able to escape the reputation of harming the country and the people.
How could Tu Feng be willing to put Lin Jin in such a situation? He had no choice.As early as when Prince Yizhong was abolished as the crown prince, he had no way out. He was the longest descendant among the remaining princes. No matter which brother came to power, it was impossible to let him go.
Seeing that Tu Feng avoided talking about it, Lin Jin reluctantly went back to the room. If he couldn't make further progress, it would be good to maintain the current situation.
Compared with Tu Feng's worries, Liu Xuan's attitude was much more straightforward. His pursuit and interception had already driven Lin Yu crazy.Just as Lin Yu was thinking about how to draw a clear line between Liu Xuan and Liu Xuan, an imperial decree to bestow marriage quietly arrived at the Lin family in Suzhou.
After resigning from office, Lin Ruhai's life has always been low-key. After sending his two sons to Youzhou, he even brought Daiyu to live in seclusion.
Unexpectedly, Tu Hua somehow thought of them, and ordered Lin Yu to be married, so that he could be the Lord.Since the founding of the country, the emperors of the Dayu Dynasty do not like to give marriages. The only few cases are after both men and women are important ministers. The two families have already negotiated. , The emperor suddenly wanted to draw a red line for someone, which was unprecedented.Even if the princesses descend, they will be notified in advance. There are few sudden attacks, which make people caught off guard. However, Tu Hua has always acted out of common sense, so it is not surprising that she can't figure it out.
In fact, Lin Ruhai wronged Tu Hua this time. He really didn't mean to torment the Lin family on purpose, but he just followed the late emperor's will.
A few years ago, Lin Jin and Lin Yu followed Tu Feng to the Summer Resort for the first time, and once saved the life of the late emperor's thirteen princesses. Unfortunately, Lin Yu used artificial respiration to save people. When the first emperor learned of this, he made up his mind to let him become the Lord.
The first emperor had quite a few daughters, but not many were raised. The thirteen imperial daughters born by Concubine De are considered to be the highest among them, and they have always been favored.Before the emperor's grand visit, he conferred the title of Princess Yiyang to the thirteen emperors, and entrusted her marriage with Lin Yu to Tu Hua.Tu Hua was not considered a filial son, for the sake of the throne, he would kill his father and king, but Princess Yiyang's brother was loyal to the prince, had a good relationship with him for a long time, and always loved his younger sister, so Concubine De Asking Empress Dowager Liu about the marriage, Tu Hua readily agreed to grant the marriage.
Thunder, rain and dew are all God's grace, no matter how dissatisfied Lin Ruhai was with Tu Hua's rash gift of marriage, he dared not say that Lin Yu would not be the Lord, so he had to accept the order.
Afterwards, Lin Ruhai wrote a letter to Lin Yu, telling him about his marriage with Princess Yiyang, and saying that it was the last emperor's will, which should not be disobeyed.
When Lin Yu received the letter, he was stunned. He had no impression of who Princess Yiyang was. How could she be married suddenly.Lin Jin was also very sudden, but he reacted relatively quickly. He remembered the trip to the summer resort that year and the thirteenth princess they rescued by the stream.
"My lord, is it because of that incident?" Lin Yu didn't think artificial respiration was anything, but Lin Jin didn't think so.
Tu Feng nodded silently. He had heard about the fact that the late emperor wanted to marry Princess Yiyang to Lin Yu. However, the late emperor left suddenly. He thought it would end without a problem, so he never told Lin Jin and Lin Yu. Unexpectedly, Tu Hua brought up the old story again, suddenly thinking of this marriage.
Lin Yu has lived two lifetimes, and before he has had a serious relationship, someone has decided on a major event in his life, which is depressing.
The one who was more depressed than Lin Yu, of course, was Liu Xuan. He hadn't dealt with the man yet, but a princess came to snatch him away. There was no mistake.
In particular, what Tu Hua offended was not others, but the most humble scholars. These people have a good level of swearing. In between, people talked about it and had different opinions.
Just at this time, the weather was not beautiful, and a drought came.Counting from the end of March, in most parts of the north, there has been no rain for two full months, and those lands that were lucky to rain also sprinkled two drops, and the rain cleared before the land was wet.
