The protagonist is super fierce [Quick Transmigration]

Chapter 27 The King of Subjugation (10)

After another seven or eight days, one afternoon Xie Mao was looking at the stack of memorials on the table and worried. Thinking of Lin Dao who hadn't seen him for a few days, he couldn't help being lazy.

In the past few days, he has been worrying about legislation. Although he knows that the laws of the Chen Dynasty have great flaws, and it is easy for corrupt officials to take advantage of loopholes and make the people suffer from dumbness, he still feels unsatisfied with the new laws drafted by the prime minister and his officials. As expected.

However, the delay in promulgating the national law is obviously not conducive to the stability of the country. Prime Minister Zhou Shunmin even secretly found Xie Mao, suggesting that he promulgate the new law first, try it out for a period of time, and then correct and amend it slowly if something goes wrong. Such an irresponsible suggestion was naturally rejected. Xie Mao was very assertive and refused.

Xie Mao went to Lin Dao at this time, but he didn't expect him to solve this problem for him, but Lin Dao was gentle, considerate, and understanding, so it was not bad to go to him to complain.

The emperor did not conduct a surprise attack when he went to the Hou's Mansion this time, so Lin Dao got the news early and waited at the door.Welcoming the emperor in, after the two sat down, Lin Dao said in a low voice, "Your Majesty hasn't been here for a long time...Why do you have time to come and sit down today?" His tone was somewhat lonely, mixed with a trace of vagueness Resentment.

When Lin Dao opened his mouth, he included "come to the Marquis of Yongle for a sit-down" in the emperor's daily itinerary without any trace, but what he said was very natural, and the emperor didn't notice anything wrong at all.

You must know that Xie Mao from the Marquis Mansion has not come here four or five times, and it is far from reaching the level of just sitting around for nothing, not to mention where the emperor wants to go, and where he doesn't want to go. of?

However, the emperor at this time was already guilty of avoiding these days, he could not help coughing lightly after hearing Lin Dao's words, and said in embarrassment: "I have been busy with state affairs these days... I have not been able to see you, but your illness is better now ?”

"Thanks to Your Majesty's blessings, the minister's illness is gone!" Lin Daowen said softly, "Thank you, Your Majesty..."

Lin Dao always made people feel refreshed when he talked, and the two chatted a few more gossips, and Xie Mao couldn't help revealing his troubles to him.

Lin Daoan listened quietly, and when he opened his mouth, he first hugged Zhou Chengxiang: "What the Prime Minister said is also a mature and prudent statement..."

When Xie Mao heard this, he became angry immediately, and interrupted: "What's so old and prudent? So old and cunning! How solemn is the country's laws, how can it be changed day and night? He is taking the lives of the common people for nothing!"

The emperor complained about the prime minister in front of Lin Dao, and Lin Dao naturally couldn't follow suit, so he just avoided the seriousness and said lightly: "The prime minister is also worried about state affairs...Your Majesty loves the people like a son, it is really a blessing for the country!"

"All right, all right! You don't have to flatter me, I know how important I am!" Xie Mao waved his hands impatiently, feeling a little dispirited.

Lin Dao knew that Xie Mao was dissatisfied with his and Si Ni's behavior, so he couldn't help but smiled wryly: "Your Majesty, if the new law is not promulgated, how will you know what is wrong with this law?"

Xie Mao was at a loss for words when he heard this, and felt that he blamed the prime minister too much, as if he was making trouble for no reason, so he couldn't help but regret having said these words in front of Lin Dao.

Sensing that the emperor had the intention to leave, Lin Dao hesitated and said: "In the early years, I read the laws and regulations of the previous dynasties, and I got something occasionally. I once wrote a manuscript, which may be your majesty's reference..."

"Oh?" Xie Mao became a little interested when he heard this, and said without hesitation: "Bring me to see!" Lin Dao then took a thick thread-bound manuscript from the bookshelf, and presented it to the emperor .

Xie Mao took it and flipped through a few pages, and his expression became serious—it turned out to be a complete book of laws, which clearly listed each law in small letters.

As soon as Xie Mao saw the word, he knew that the manuscript was written by Lin Dao himself. He was startled by his intentions at first, but after a closer look, he felt that the method was rigorous and reasonable, and it fit the reality. Many items were inconsistent with his ideas. They coincided with each other, and there was something incomprehensible. As soon as Lin Daolue explained it, Xie Mao suddenly realized that it was very feasible.

"You came up with this all by yourself?" After watching it for a while, Xie Mao couldn't help asking. As soon as the words fell, he felt that he had slipped his words: Lin Dao was neglected in his early years, and even after he became the emperor, he was also a puppet. , besides himself, is there anyone else who will write this manuscript for him?

Thinking of Lin Dao being in a difficult situation, but still able to strive so hard, Xie Mao couldn't help but praise: "Yongle Hou Dacai! In my opinion, this law is ten times better than the 'Daxing Law' compiled by the officials!"

Lin Dao didn't dare to accept this evaluation, and hurriedly bowed down in fear and fear: "My humble servant is terrified! My humble servant has little talent and learning, so I don't deserve such praise from Your Majesty!"

Xie Mao solved a heart problem, stepped forward to help Lin Dao in a good mood and said with a smile: "You deserve it! I said you deserve it, so you deserve it! What is there to be afraid of?"

"Your Majesty..." Lin Dao looked at the cheerful Xie Mao with a bitter face, and it was not good to defeat him at this time, so he was speechless for a while.Regardless of Lin Dao's entanglement, Xie Mao took advantage of the opportunity to push him back to his seat, looked at him for a while, and suddenly asked: "I think calling titles is too much, do you have a sign?"

Lin Dao was a little uncomfortable by Xie Mao's straightforwardness, but he still hurriedly replied: "Return to Your Majesty, when the minister is performing the crown ceremony, he should first test the name Ziqi for the minister."

"Oh? But the bustling Xie?" Xie Mao asked curiously, regardless of whether the words given were suitable or not.

"No." Lin Dao twitched the corner of his mouth and denied.

"Then it must be Dong Xi's Xi?" The emperor said with certainty that he didn't know where the confidence came from.

Lin Dao didn't dare to let him continue to guess, and quickly revealed the answer: "It's the peaches and plums who don't say anything, and they make their own way."

"Oh..." The emperor was a little disappointed not being able to guess the answer, but after a closer look, he immediately felt that this word had a lot more charm than what he just mentioned.The peaches and plums are self-contained without saying anything, isn't it the true portrayal of Lin Dao?

Thinking of this, Xie Mao sized Lin Dao up and down for a while, nodded in agreement and said, "That's right, it really is a good word!"

At this time, Lin Dao was also a little emotional when he thought of the scene where the late emperor crowned him.Lin Dao was ignored by his father for 20 years, and he personally chose characters for himself, which is considered as one of the few fatherly loves Lin Qing gave him.

The path is the trail that treads through the roadless mountains and fields.Perhaps because he had a premonition that the Chen Dynasty was coming to an end, Lin Qing named Lin Dao "Ziqi" in the hope that this unique son would find another way, find a new path in the end, and save the collapsed Chen Dynasty.

It's a pity that Lin Dao is destined to be unable to achieve his wish.

After getting the manuscript, the emperor patiently chatted a few words with Lin Dao, and then he couldn't wait to leave.After Lin Dao sent the emperor away, he ordered the servants to make the bed and planned to take a nap—although he had recovered from his illness, Lin Dao was weak, so it would be better to take care of him if possible.

Li Mingde waited for Lin Dao to lie down in silence, then waved the servant away, and after carefully closing the door, he lay on the head of Lin Dao's bed and said, "Master, if this servant says something that doesn't please you, don't be angry..."

Lin Dao knew what he wanted to say, waved his hand indifferently and said, "Go ahead."

With Lin Dao's approval, Li Mingde gritted his teeth and tried to persuade him: "As the saying goes: If you are not in your position, you will not seek his own government...Now it is...that person is in charge of the world, how to govern the country and the people is also something he should worry about. Let's live a good life." My own life is just that, why bother to wade into this muddy water?"

After Li Mingde finished the call, he was afraid that Lin Dao would not realize the seriousness of the consequences, so he emphasized his tone: "Even if the master solved the difficult problem for the emperor, he may not have a good impression of you... What's more, if this matter gets out today, Where are those civil and military officials going to put their faces, without making you bleed with hatred?"

The more Li Mingde spoke, the more worried he became. Lin Dao sighed secretly, and stretched out his hand from under the quilt to pat the back of the hand of this young eunuch, who was clearly not a few years older than him, but who had endless worries all day long.

"I don't know that meddling in political affairs is easy to be jealous, but... my father has been in power for decades, and the things he did... Alas!" The son did not say anything about his father's faults, and Lin Dao talked about Lin Qing, only briefly mentioned it and then remained silent Yes, but both of them understood that Lin Qing was really incompetent as an emperor.

Lin Dao was silent for a while, and then continued: "I am also a member of the royal family. I have watched the late emperor's actions all these years, but I can't do anything... I always feel that I am owed to the people-now, although the emperor cares about the people today, he is concerned about political affairs. However, I lack some experience in the field, and it is inevitable that there will be some omissions...Since I have the opportunity to remind one or two, how can I stand by and watch?"

"Master, it was all the fault of the late emperor. Why do you take all the blame on yourself?" Li Mingde was heartbroken when he heard this, and felt that his master was the best person in the world. To put so much suffering on him, and refuse to let good people get good rewards.

Seeing that Li Mingde showed his iconic bitter face again after finishing speaking, Lin Dao smiled helplessly, and he couldn't help but comfort him a few more words.

While the master and the servant were whispering, in a dark room of the room, there was a person who was eavesdropping intently with his ear on the thin wall.

At the beginning of the construction of Yonglehou Mansion, a dark room was specially set up. People hid in the dark room, and the people in the room could know everything well.This was originally built by Lin Qing for the previous owner of this mansion, Lin Qing's younger brother, King Pingping. Originally, only the emperor himself knew about it, but Xie Mao accidentally discovered it.

Xie Mao didn't even intend to use it to monitor Lin Dao, but since Lin Dao was in danger, he specially sent people to lurk beside Lin Dao so that he could grasp any troubles in the Hou's mansion. For Lin Dao, it was both surveillance and protection.

After the voices in the room stopped, the people in the dark room left without a sound, and reported back to the emperor every word they heard.

After hearing his report, the emperor couldn't help being silent, waved him to go down, and felt a little respect for Lin Dao in his heart: No wonder Lin Dao didn't shy away from political affairs and didn't care about his own situation at all. For the well-being of the world, he might have already Put personal life and death aside!

As for the difference between Li Mingde's treatment of himself and Lin Dao, Xie Mao noticed it from the very beginning: this person only has Lin Dao as his master in his heart, and he only treats him superficially.As long as no outsiders were present, Li Mingde would never address Lord Lin Daohou, but Master.

Xie Mao didn't care about Li Mingde's petty thinking - everyone in the world is his own subject, but Lin Dao has only such a loyal subordinate, if he wants to rob him, wouldn't it be too bullying?

While Xie Mao was feeling emotional, he learned that Prime Minister Zhou, who had left the government affairs and went to fish in Lindao, had already stormed to Yonglehou's mansion.Lin Dao, who had just fallen asleep, had no choice but to get up to welcome the prime minister.

Zhou Shunmin's sense of Lin Dao was mediocre, and he was somewhat dissatisfied with Lin Dao because of Xie Mao's negligence before entering the Marquis' Mansion.However, before he opened his mouth to question, Lin Dao had already extinguished all the anger of the Prime Minister with a smile.Hitting a few soft nails at Lin Dao, and knowing that the emperor had returned to the palace, Zhou Shunmin immediately stopped entangled with him, left in a hurry, and chased after him to the emperor's bedroom.

"The tea in Yongle Hou's Mansion must be the best in the world, which makes His Majesty so obsessed with it?" Zhou Shunmin ran on the emperor when he came up, showing his demeanor as a direct minister.

Xie Mao coughed in embarrassment, and said in dissatisfaction: "What is the prime minister's business, do you need to break into my bedroom?"

Zhou Shunmin said with a straight face: "Since your majesty is interested in drinking tea and chatting with Marquis Yongle, you must have finished reviewing the notes presented by the ministers?" Before Xie Mao could speak, he continued: "Your Majesty will hand over all the notes to the ministers. Right? I just took it back and sent it back to the ministers, so I can save myself another trip!"

Xie Mao: ...

Looking at the prime minister's open hand, Xie Mao felt a headache, and reluctantly said: "I have to read a few more memorials, I'm afraid the prime minister will make a trip for nothing today..."

Zhou Shunmin accepted it as soon as he saw it, nodded and said: "In that case, I will retire!" Before leaving, he couldn't help reminding: "Since the memorial has not been reviewed, it is better for your majesty to pay more attention to state affairs. ... Your Majesty, please make a decision on the matter of national law as soon as possible!"

Prime Minister Zhou reprimanded the emperor without losing face, and then left in a cool and unrestrained manner, leaving Xie Mao alone to look at the stack of memorials on the desk and feel worried.
