[Red Mansion] Young Master Lin Yan

Lin Yan fought hard for several days, and on the fifth day, he went to the palace with two dark circles under his eyes that were deeper than a panda.

Outside the Xuanzheng Hall, three or four ministers knelt down.With snot and tears, weeping blood.

"Your Majesty! I beg your Majesty to be the master! After going through two dynasties, the old minister has won the favor of the late emperor. He has been an official until now, and he has devoted himself to repaying the emperor's favor. He dare not slack off. What will King Kang do to put the face of us old ministers? This is to force the veterans to die!

Mr. Liu is over sixty years old, and fell ill in bed in a fit of anger, I don't know how long he can hang on this breath!Your majesty, you have to be the master for the veterans! "

The corner of Lin Yan's mouth curled slightly, hehe, it's fine to rely on the elders as the elders of the two dynasties, but use the late emperor to oppress others?It's only natural to pay off debts, so how come the third prince, the debt collector, has become the chief culprit!

Lin Yan rolled his eyes, look, this is what later generations say, it is best not to borrow money.When borrowing money, the creditor is Lao Tzu, and the borrower is Sun Tzu.At the time of debt collection, it was Lao Tzu who borrowed money and refused to repay it, but the creditor became grandson instead.

Falling ill in bed, hanging in one breath?Liar!Who wouldn't pretend to be sick!

Lin Yan walked past the ministers without even taking a look, and went straight into the hall.

In the hall, Situ Kun sat on a high dragon chair, and Situ Ling and Situ Yue knelt below.

Situ Kun glared angrily, "I asked you to rectify the household department and collect the owed money. When did I ask you to check the family background of my servants? Look at what you have done!"

Situ Ling didn't refute even half a sentence, he just said: "It's my son who is not good at things!"

Situ Yue was very annoyed, "Father, this matter has nothing to do with the third brother. It's all my son's idea! If you want to punish, then punish..."

"Old Ninth!" Situ Ling shouted loudly, stopping his words.Lin Yan's heart skipped a beat.He was the one who came up with the idea of ​​inspecting the property of officials.Situ Yue's move was obviously to protect Situ Ling, and also to protect him.

Lin Yan's palms tightened, and he stepped forward to break the deadlock in due course, "See the emperor!"

Situ Kun turned his attention and looked at the box in Lin Yan's hand, "Did you make it?"

"Yes!"

"Go back and try."

Situ Kun stood up, but Lin Yan didn't move, and looked awkwardly at Situ Ling and Situ Yue who were still kneeling.Situ Kun snorted, his anger still lingering.It's just that this anger may not be directed at Situ Ling.

Although he was annoyed that Situ Ling acted improperly, which created the current situation and made him pressured by the veterans.But he is even more annoyed by the veterans who rely on the old to sell the old, and use the late emperor to threaten them!

Lin Yan looked at Situ Kun's expression, hesitated for a while, and decided to speak.He couldn't just watch Situ Ling and Situ Yue being punished for his own ideas and ignore them.

"Your Majesty, when the students came in, they overheard the speeches of the adults outside. This incident has been widely spread in Beijing, and the students know something about it. The students think that there is nothing they can do."

Situ Kun was taken aback for a moment, then glanced at him, "Say!"

"Master Liu's illness, I'm afraid I also invited the imperial physician, what did the imperial physician say?"

Speaking of this, Situ Yue became even more angry, and snorted, "What else can I say, it's just a bunch of depressing words. Isn't this nonsense? Because of some depressing thoughts, it's because you don't want to pay back the money!

If I don't pay back the money owed by my family, it will make people think that my royal family is aggressive and doesn't care about the veterans!The third brother really died unjustly! "

"Old Nine!" Situ Ling roared, and Situ Yue reluctantly shut up.

Lin Yan laughed, "That is to say, there is nothing serious about it. The student has an idea, but I don't know if the Third Highness will condescend?"

Situ Ling's expression became serious, "As long as we can get rid of the current poverty and make the collection of the owed money go ahead, what's the point of condescension!"

"Your Highness can bring the imperial physician to Mr. Liu's residence. You must do everything yourself and take care of Mr. Liu until he recovers."

All three of Situ's family were taken aback by these words, and instantly understood what Lin Yan meant.

A dignified prince condescends to serve a courtier, and he has achieved this level, how can he continue to publicize that the third prince is cruel and threatens the elders of the two dynasties?Not to mention that it is just an illness now, even if Mr. Liu died because of it, the third prince would not be able to bear this charge anymore, and he would still lose his reputation.

In such a situation where the gains outweigh the losses, Mr. Liu will judge whether it is worthwhile to let such a big Buddha live in his home if he continues to be sick.

After all, which one has no secrets?The prince moved in, and the family could not be restrained. If he found something, or if he really used this to find out the family's financial situation, then his previous crying for poverty would all become deceitful!

Which is more important, Mr. Liu will not know.In this way, how can this disease be pretended?It will definitely get better in less than three days at most.

This method is not very shrewd, it is shameless.Hurry up to be this uninvited guest.It's still the prince, you can't even drive him away!

Therefore, Lin Yan who can come up with this method is also a rascal.So it wasn't that he was smarter than the Situ family and wanted something they couldn't think of.It's just that people in the royal family are born superior, and they are used to this kind of position, so they don't think in the direction of such condescension.

Lin Yan rubbed his nose, and continued: "When Mr. Liu recovers from his illness, the emperor will give another grace. If you can pay off all the money owed by the family within this month, the interest will be waived.

If you can't afford so much money for a while, you can also go to the household department to explain the situation and sign an agreement to pay off in five years or ten years.In this way, past interest can also be exempted, and future interest will be recalculated according to the unpaid part each year. "

The matter of owed money has been going on for two months since the end of the year, and it is impressive.Everyone knows that there is no turning back in this matter.Mr. Liu pretended to be sick, which can also be said to be really sick.Sudden illness.This is the last resort currently available.

If this is useless, then we have reached the end of the mountain.At this time, it suddenly said that the interest was not wanted, and only the principal was returned.I think many people will be ecstatic.

This is what people say, two steps forward and one step back.

In other words, if you want someone else's house, they will definitely not agree.Then first make a big sign, saying that you want all the family's wealth, and use some means to force it, so that people think that you are bound to win, and if you don't achieve your goal, you will never give up.

When others feel panic and helpless, you can show kindness again and say that you only want their house and nothing else.People will no longer resist, but will be very grateful, grateful, and offer the house with their own hands.Just to keep other property.

It's just that the debt has been owed for a long time. After all these years, the interest is also a considerable amount.Situ Ling has no choice but to come up with the emperor.

Lin Yan looked at Situ Kun, "The student is just talking casually, please ask your majesty to make a holy judgment."

Situ Kun frowned and thought for a while, "What does the third child think?"

"I think this method is very good, and it can also dissipate the resistance of most people who owe money. As long as one-third of the courtiers repay the money, the matter will become logical. No matter how stubborn people are, they will have no excuses. carry.

And in this way, it can also show that the father and emperor are kind to his courtiers.Kill two birds with one stone.As for those interests, from the overall situation, it is not important.It is necessary to rectify the accumulated disadvantages of the household department, and there are always other ways to find ways to enrich the treasury.Throughout the ages, there has never been a dynasty or generation whose treasury has been enriched by the profits of courtiers' loans. "

Situ Kun nodded, "Are you willing to take care of Master Liu?"

Situ Ling was taken aback, "This matter was brought up by my minister, so naturally I should settle it. The matter of owed money cannot be left halfway, but it's just a matter of going to Mr. Liu's mansion to live, it's nothing serious. I think Mr. Liu's mansion has a lot of servants, I really don't dare to ask Erchen to serve anything."

Situ Kun's eyebrows stretched out, "Get up! Later, you can submit an account and ask for interest exemption."

Lin Yan was startled, is this trying to gain reputation for Situ Ling?If the emperor directly issued an order, all the ministers would be grateful to the emperor.If Situ Ling asked for the order, besides the emperor, all the ministers would be most grateful to Situ Ling.

Situ Ling was also stunned, but saw Situ Kun sighing: "You have been wronged in this matter, and I know it in my heart. You are a person who can do practical things, and you can't lose the reputation of being cruel and cruel to your courtiers."

How can it be so easy to solve the debt owed by the household department.If not, how could it be delayed again and again.Several ministers of the Ministry of Household Affairs did not dare to mention it, and the second child did not dare to mention it.Only the third child was not afraid of a difficult future, and carried on with the matter under heavy pressure.How could he not understand?

Situ Kun looked at the tea in front of him, took a sip with a smile, and said, "Your tea is really rare. If you have something like this in the future, just bring it to me directly, without going through the tea room."

Situ Ling opened his mouth slightly and looked at Situ Kun. Seeing his smiling eyes, his heart moved, "Yes!"

The appearance seemed to be very moved, his eyes were moist, with a lot of admiration.

Lin Yan quietly shrunk his figure to the dark place.Well, you are acting like a father, a loving son, and a filial piety, half-truth and half-false, he is really embarrassing for an outsider!

Lin Yan wanted to shrink back again, trying to reduce his sense of existence, but he heard Situ Kun's voice, "Let's go! Maybe go back and try your new hand/crossbow now! The third and the ninth are all go together!"

Situ Ling frowned slightly, "Father, Lord Liu..."

Situ Kun sneered, "You are a dignified prince, do you really want you to take care of him all the time? Just to show off, so what if you go later? Could it be that he died in just a short while!"

Situ Ling opened his mouth, "The adults outside are still kneeling..."

"Then let them continue to kneel!"

It seems that Situ Kun is quite angry.The hands of the veterans are stinky enough, it's too bad for Situ Kun to complain.Now it just seems that most of them are still elders after all, and some of them occupy important positions and cannot be tampered with.After two or three years, the people below will be promoted slowly, and the official career of these veteran officials will come to an end.

Situ Kun flicked his sleeves first.Situ Ling and Situ Yue followed.Lin Yan followed with the box in his arms.

There is a large martial arts arena behind the Xuanzheng Hall.Situ Kun deliberately cleared the people away, leaving only three or five confidant guards.Lin Yan took out his hand/crossbow.

"The master given by the emperor is very good, especially he not only understands the weapons in the army, but also knows the art of mechanism. The students discussed with him for many days and tried several times to get this. We kept the front arrow clusters and shortened them. The wooden stick behind.

The form of the hand/crossbow has also been modified, and a mechanism is set inside to increase the force and distance of the arrow clusters.Coupled with the scope above, it is even more practical.You can also send five baht in a row!Can be used for night or surprise attacks. "

To put it bluntly, it is an improved version of the gun.No gunpowder was used, only cold weapons were used.

As for gunpowder.Lin Yan clenched his fist, of course he needed it.Didn't you say that?The four must-have inventions of time-traveling men, glass, gunpowder, cement, and soap.

He has no interest in soap.And there are already good natural floral soaps in this era, which are quite good.He doesn't have much need for this thing, let alone curiosity, lazy and troublesome.

As for cement?The recipe is simple, arguably simpler than glass.But this thing requires something else from the kiln.Is a rotary kiln used to make cement, or what?He had to recall and think carefully.This thing is not necessary right now, and it doesn't matter for the time being.

But gunpowder is certain.If war is really going to happen, gunpowder is a magic weapon.Firecrackers existed thousands of years ago.And Da Zhou created the Thunderbolt more than ten years ago.Similar to a grenade, it is the size of a massage ball, but its power is not very good.At least in Lin Yan's eyes, compared with later generations, it is not worth mentioning at all.

When Lin Yan was thinking about it, Situ Kun had already set a target and shot five shots in a row. All five shots hit the red heart, and all of them passed through the red heart, hitting the trunk of the big tree behind.If it wasn't for the big tree to block it, it would have been farther.

"Okay!" Situ Kun yelled, and then said again, "After all, this martial arts arena is too small. Try going to the suburbs another day. Is this thing difficult?"

"It was a bit difficult to design, but now the design has been decided. The drawings are ready-made. The shape, size, and specification of each component have detailed notes from the students. The emperor can disperse the components and assign different workers to be responsible, and then integrate them , assembled by people in the glass factory."

The people in the glass factory are all carefully selected, they can be called all kinds of elites, but because of this, there are not many people.They're not the only ones either.This can reduce their workload and facilitate confidentiality.

Situ Kun nodded, with a happy face, turned his head to look at Lin Yan, as if he suddenly discovered his dark circles at this moment, and said with a chuckle: "What's the matter? Don't say it's for me. I can I know, you don't have much time to go to the glass factory these days."

With a bitter face, Lin Yan said in embarrassment: "Students have been busy writing scripts for the past few days, and they have been lost in writing for a while."

"Do you still have time to write a storybook?"

"Students want to open a teahouse, and they are asking Lord Jiu to help them find the place! But it is not so easy to do business nowadays, so the students want to hire a storyteller to win in the story."

Situ Yue was taken aback, why didn't he just bring this matter up to the emperor?If you want to say hello in advance!This is suddenly said, my little heart!

He opened his mouth and wanted to speak, but was held down by Situ Ling who was next to him, but seeing Situ Ling shaking his head gently, Situ Yue retreated helplessly, his eyes filled with anxiety.

Lin Yan didn't seem to see his gesture, and continued: "The students have written two articles in the past few days, do you want the emperor to read it?"

Situ Kun was in a good mood and was happy because he had a solution to the veterans who owed money, and got such a new hand/crossbow. Naturally, he was more tolerant of Lin Yan who had helped him a lot.

Lin Yan took out a bound book from his arms and handed it over.

The articles are not long, only medium-length.According to Lin Yan's calculations, each article is divided into four sections, which is just right for storytelling.

The first book is "The Biography of Liu Yi".

Situ Kun glanced at ten lines and laughed, "You said you were so young, how could you write such a story?"

Lin Yan smiled awkwardly.Situ Kun flipped through the second book, "Han Palace Autumn".

At first I thought it was the same as "The Biography of Liu Yi", and it was right to read it for entertainment.But the more I read it, the more I feel something is wrong. The story is not unusual. It is about Emperor Han Yuan and Wang Zhaojun, who deepened their love for each other.But it focuses on the aggressiveness of the Xiongnu and the helplessness of the Han and Yuan emperors, which even implies the incompetence of the court and the decline of national power.

In it, a chapter was specially set out, which especially described the views and positions of the ministers who advocated war and advocated peace.In this regard, Lin Yan's pen is exquisite, and he doesn't seem to focus on any one side, as if either side is reasonable.But it happened that the affection and persuasion of Emperor Han Yuan stayed in front, which was very strange and people couldn't help but stand on the main battle side.

Situ Kun immediately understood that he was deliberately using the events of the Han Dynasty to talk about the current situation.Isn't today's Beirong the Huns of the Han Dynasty?

Looking at the current border situation, the Northern Rong did not retreat, but they did not advance either.Although it is inevitable that a small group of troops would come to disturb the border every winter, but they did not invade on a large scale, nor did they cause much loss to Dazhou.How does this make the ministers who enjoy the stability in Beijing understand his move to send troops?

If he ordered a crusade, it is conceivable that there will be a storm in the court.

Throughout the ages, even in the counterattack wars of other invaders, there have been attempts to make peace by offering gold and silver to beauties, let alone the current peaceful situation.

They would think that now Beirong is only disturbing the border in a small area and has not posed a large-scale threat, but if the Great Zhou takes the initiative to attack, it will definitely anger Beirong.

It was not easy for the Great Zhou to establish a country. In the early years, it fought twice with Beirong, but both ended in defeat.More than ten years ago, Zhenbei Hou was expected to expel Beirong from the border of Dazhou for [-] miles, but due to the murderous hand of Prince Yizhong, the originally good situation collapsed.

Situ Kun couldn't help clenching his fists.With this historical record, many ministers will be afraid.Fear of losing.Afraid of angering Bei Rong, Bei Rong will become more arrogant, and Da Zhou will not even be able to maintain the current peaceful situation.

Lin Yan's move is a temptation, trying in vain to create the popularity of "Han Palace Autumn" and draw everyone's attention to it.See how the subjects react to Bei Rong now.

Also guide.He wants to use the past to talk about the present, and talk about the harm of foreigners.The national power of the Great Zhou Dynasty is growing stronger and stronger, and it can no longer be compared with the beginning of the founding of the country.Back then, the Marquis of Zhenbei had the opportunity to go straight to the Imperial Court of Beirong, how could he know that he couldn't now?

Although the incident of disturbing the border is small, it is my Great Zhou's territory that has been violated, and it is my Great Zhou's people who have been harmed!Could it be that Da Zhou can only retreat, can only endure?

Situ Kun looked at Lin Yan, his eyes gradually sharpened, "How sure are you?"

Lin Yan shook his head seriously, "I'm not sure. But I have to try. The emperor can't order to send troops rashly."

This sentence is right.He can't be reckless and make the officials angry.Let Lin Yan try it.If he succeeded and led to a good situation, then he just took advantage of this shareholder style to propose his intention to fight.

If he fails, it doesn't matter, they don't lose anything, but they can get some opponents' minds from it, and they can find other ways later.

Situ Kun glanced at Lin Yan, smiled and told Situ Yue, "Just help him and open this teahouse. Choose a lively place, and Qian Zhen will come out! Doing business is what you two are good at, don't forget I am disappointed."

Situ Yue was baffled and dumbfounded, what kind of nonsense, it can still have this effect?Situ Yue, who was full of doubts, took the order in a daze.

But Situ Kun laughed again, looked at the sentence in the storybook, and began to read, "Looking at two places, looking forward to a wild goose."

"Back to Xianyang, pass the palace wall; pass the palace wall, go around the corridor; go around the corridor, near the pepper room; near the pepper room, the moon is dim and yellow; the moon is dim and yellow, the night is cool; the night is cool, weeping cold sting; weeping cold sting, green screen window "Green screen window, don't think about it!"

Situ Kun scoffed, "As Yan Binghuai said, you have a bit of talent. But I think your talent is all used in this book! Tomorrow, I will send someone to show it to Ru Hai, and see what he has to say! "

Lin Yan shuddered all over, "Your Majesty, this... this student only has one copy."

"It's okay. I'll ask someone to make a copy."

Lin Yan felt that she was about to cry, why did Situ Kun try to trick him every time he helped Situ Kun!

Situ Kun glared at him, "I heard that you were always playing truant in the Imperial College? Do you know that Yan Binghuai invited Li Shouzhong to accompany you, and you have sued me!"

Lin Yan knelt down with a plop, and said cautiously: "The student didn't intend to play truant, but the emperor also knows that the student has a heavy responsibility. Telescope, scope, new hand/crossbow, teahouse, story book, what do you not have time to do?"

Situ Kun frowned, looked at the pistol/crossbow and the storybook at hand, and sighed: "That's all! Fortunately, your grades in the Imperial College are not bad. Pay attention to yourself, it is the Imperial College that I asked Lao Wu to rectify, don't go to the Imperial College." It's time for you to break the rules with me personally protecting you!"

Lin Yan breathed a sigh of relief.He knew that Situ Kun might not know everything about his outside situation. Although there was Bai Zhi, he knew how to blur Bai Zhi's vision of some things.At best, Situ Kun knew that not all of his truancy went to the glass factory.

However, it is not necessary to go to a glass factory for design, let alone teahouses and story books.

So, fortunately, it was fooled.

"Then the emperor may have returned the notebook to the students?"

Situ Kun looked at him with a smile, "Your words are well written, wouldn't it be a pity if you don't show them to Ru Hai? Well, let's stay here for now, and I'll send you the original after it's transcribed." past."

Isn't that all?Why send it to Lin Ruhai!

Your majesty, will you let me live or not!

Lin Yan looked at Situ Kun with a mournful face, but this appearance pleased Situ Kun even more, and his smile became more gloating.

Finally, he asked, "Are you planning to own your own name?"

Lin Yan was taken aback. How could it be possible that her name belonged to her!The effect of spreading these two stories is unknown, and he doesn't want to take the risk.What's more, I'm afraid there are other things behind him, such as the Peony Pavilion, such as The West Chamber.

Although these are all famous dramas, they inevitably touched the "rules" of some pedantic feudal scholar-bureaucrats.At first, it is bound to cause a lot of controversy, but in the later stage, if the talent is good and the reputation is big, it will be fine.In the early stage, it is not suitable to be attacked by others.

Moreover, Lin Yan didn't want to leave an image of people who only knew how to write pornographic poems.Especially, Lin Ruhai will never tolerate him like this!

Thinking of this, Lin Yan sighed again, well, he has almost lost count of his braids.

He looked at Situ Kun and replied very depressed, "The student has a nickname, Mr. Tai Xu."

"The Tao is grand and quiet? When did you start studying Taoism?"

The corner of Lin Yan's mouth twitched, and he was silent, acquiescing.

Why not by default?Do you want him to say that what he did was too vain, literally meaning too fake?His story is false, and he, the author, is also false.

Because it is not his work.He just adapts.There are private goods included, but most of them are original texts.

Can he say it?cannot!So, I had no choice but to accept Situ Kun's misunderstanding.

Well, if the Tao is big and empty and quiet, let the Tao be big and empty and quiet.

Isn't the place where Jing Huan lives in the Red Mansion just an illusion?Is it from Taoism?

Now that he has used the word Taixu, will Jing Huan come to him?

Thinking of this possibility, Lin Yan was eager to try.

The author has something to say: I feel that in these few chapters, every chapter, brother Lin will always do something to death.Cough cough, let's clean up together when Lin Ruhai returns to Beijing!

I'm getting Lin Ruhai back to Beijing as soon as possible.I think you can see it too.But there are still some things that are not clear.

Don't rush me.I have worked hard to speed up the pace of Lin Ruhai's return to Beijing.

What's more, Brother Lin's doing one thing is definitely not just for one purpose.
