Step on a branch

Chapter 121 Destined
The Ministry of Rites drew up the regulations and sent them to the Imperial Study Room.

The emperor opened it and read it once, and said: "Just do it according to this."

Eunuch Xu gathered the papers and carried them to the outer room, and the servants under him took them, sorted them into different categories, and sent them back to each yamen.

Then, he walked to the corridor and stretched his neck muscles a little.

The days of stopping the coffin for funerals can be regarded as coming to an end.

There were many rules, annoying, and uncomfortable, and he had had enough.

Just as he was thinking about it, Eunuch Xu saw Lin Fan's figure in the distance.

Lin Fan hurried to the imperial study room, and exchanged hands with Eunuch Xu.

Eunuch Xu passed the word and led Lin Fan in.

Lin Fan and the emperor greeted Ann, and said, "You look a little tired."

"I didn't sleep well at night," the emperor rubbed his brows, and asked, "You came to see me, what's the matter?"

Lin Fan lowered his eyes and said respectfully: "I heard that the Ministry of Rites has drawn up an agenda for His Royal Highness's funeral, and I want to go to the imperial mausoleum together and send one to His Highness."

"Oh?" The emperor raised his eyes.

Subconsciously, he wanted to ask Lin Fan why.

When the words came to his lips, the emperor still swallowed them down.

Lin Fan took the initiative to mention it, and he must have prepared some excuses. He answered one, two, three, four, and maybe none of the four were true.

It is useless to ask.

"If you leave Beijing, what will happen to the Red Guard's official duties?" the emperor asked.

Lin Fan replied: "Recently, I have only continued to investigate the spies, and there has been no progress yet. I am considering waiting for the results of the interrogation from the National Teacher. Sending the Highness to the Imperial Mausoleum will only take half a month back and forth. If there is any business, other people in the Yamen should be able to deal with it."

The emperor nodded slightly, and said: "Let me think about it."

Lin Fan complied and stood up to leave.

Eunuch Xu sent him out all the way.

Unexpectedly, Lin Fan slowed down his pace and said to Eunuch Xu: "I really want to go. Eunuch will speak for me in front of the emperor?"

"If you can help, Miscellaneous will help." Eunuch Xu laughed.

Lin Fan thanked him, and then said: "If the emperor really refuses to agree, I can only stay in Beijing. Speaking of it, I did my best to send His Majesty to you, and I also did my best to stay here to investigate spies. Your Majesty should be able to feel my heart."

Eunuch Xu said: "What the Duke said is very true."

After reading, the hatchback bid farewell, Eunuch Xu turned around and rolled his eyes, and went back to the imperial study.

Deng Guoshi came out of the side hall with a serious face.

Seeing Xu Gonggong come back, Deng Guoshi asked: "What did the one on the tree say to the emperor?"

Eunuch Xu repeated Lin Fan's request, and said again: "It's weird."

Deng Guoshi held his whisk tightly.

When he arrived at the Imperial Palace, Deng Guoshi respectfully expressed that he would be very careful on this journey, and take care of all the affairs after the death for His Royal Highness.

After hearing what he said, the emperor said: "Nian Zhi said that he wants to go together, what does the national teacher think?"

Deng Guoshi bowed and said: "Grandpa Guo has a heart, and the poor Taoist is very moved. The emperor promises him."

The emperor glanced at Deng Guoshi, noncommittal.

Eunuch Xu looked at Deng Guoshi quite unexpectedly.

Deng Guoshi had to shut up.

He also has no choice.

He didn't know the reason why the tree wanted to go with him, but what he thought was that Lin Fan must not be allowed to stay in Beijing.

Lin Fan checked the spies one by one, who knew what tricks he was hiding.

I heard that a few days ago, Lin Fan had been going in and out of the military department, borrowing old documents, the reason being that he needed to know himself and the enemy before he could catch spies.

What if Lin Fan really found the evidence of "talking nonsense"?

When Deng Guoshi went to the imperial mausoleum and left Beijing for half a month, Lin Fan took advantage of his absence to catch spies with great fanfare.

Yes or no, Lin Fan opened his mouth?

Any changes in the capital would be out of reach of Master Deng.

Rather than being caught by Lin Fan for such an opportunity, it would be better to go to the imperial mausoleum together.

Although Deng Guoshi can't reach the capital, Lin Fan can't reach it with his own hands.

Only Chiyiwei and the others lost their breath without Lin Fan's command.

So, he had to keep the tree one under his nose.

Deng Guoshi was thinking about how to persuade the emperor, when the emperor suddenly spoke.

"All right," said the emperor, "let him go if he wants to."

Deng Guoshi secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

On the day of the funeral, there was a light snowfall.

The snow quickly turned into rain, and scattered without being piled up.

The coffin left Beijing, accompanied by a mighty guard of honor, all the way to the imperial mausoleum.

At dusk on the eighth day, the guard of honor arrived at the palace at the foot of the mountain where the imperial mausoleum was located.

It is said to be a palace, but it is far less expensive than the royal palace. There are only empty front and rear halls for the emperor and officials who worshiped the mausoleum to rest.

The guard of honor will stop here for a day, and then go up the mountain the next day.

Lin Fanzao rested early to rest his mind, and at four o'clock the next day, before dawn, he climbed out of the palace wall and left the palace.

After half a minute's walk, when they arrived at the appointed place, Yan Yue had already prepared his fast horse.

Lin Fan rode his horse and whipped his whip, and rushed all the way to Mount Tai.

In the town at the foot of the mountain, Qin Luan and Ah Qin have already arrived.

There was no need to follow the guard of honor, the two of them traveled lightly, although they left Beijing a few days late, they arrived yesterday.

There are many pilgrims here, and there are also many people who practice Taoism.

Qin Luan is wearing a Taoist robe, which is very common here.

The hatchbacks met, knowing that time was running out, and hurried up the mountain.

As the mountainside goes further up, it is not suitable for riding horses. The horses stay at the mountain gate. Qin Luan is familiar with the gate and the road, and leads Lin Fan all the way to Tianyiguan.

There are scenic spots everywhere on Mount Tai, but Lin Fan has no intention of watching them.

His biological father, Zhao Lin, fell from a horse and died here, and his biological mother, Fang Yu, forgot the past and lived here for more than twenty years.

This mountain gave him mixed feelings.

Until, he saw the plaque of Tianyi Temple.

Qin Luan said that among so many Taoist temples on Mount Tai, Tianyi Temple is very common, hidden on a high mountain, with few pilgrims.

Lin Fan imagined what it would look like.

Quaint, quiet, away from the secular world.

Right now, he thought, it was a little different from what he had imagined.

It's hard to describe in words.

Perhaps, it's not because of the Taoist temple, but because of his closeness to his hometown.

He was anxious to see his biological mother, and felt uneasy about this meeting.

What if Mrs. Jing Ning is not Fang Yu; what if, she is suffering from illness and cannot look at him seriously; what if, no matter how carefully she looks at him, she still can't remember...

All kinds of emotions, mixed hearts.

Qin Luan stopped and turned to look at Lin Fan.

On the surface, Lin Fan looked normal, but Qin Luan was keen, she knew that Lin Fan's heart was very ups and downs.

"My lord," Qin Luan said softly, "If the opportunity comes, she will definitely be there."

Lin Fan was startled.

The snow in the mountains has not yet melted, the sun without temperature emerges from behind the clouds, and the water vapor turns into fog.

Even though it was still cold, Lin Fan felt the warmth and rolled out from the bottom of his heart.

Ordinarily, when he does things in his daily life, he likes to have a well-thought-out plan in his chest, but the opportunity obviously runs counter to this.

It's so mysterious.

But at this moment, from Qin Luan's mouth, he tasted another taste.

It was fate.

Life experience, family relationship, as long as he pursues tirelessly, there will be a day when the fog will be lifted and the dust will settle.

The girl on his heart must be the same.

Lin Fan pursed her lower lip, stretched her brows, and laughed: "Take me to see her."
