Empress Dowager Guide

Chapter 122 Leshan Giant Buddha
[Considering the risks brought about by Yunzhi's previous actions, the best time to open up a poor family career should be after Juntian stabilizes. 】

"Then...should we wait any longer?" Sheng Shaoqing hesitated, but thinking of Ji Wenxuan's decision a moment ago, he shook his head and said, "No, Ji Wenxuan has always sought stability in his work, and he has never been so aggressive. , there must be his reasons."

What could be the reason?

What made him so eager to do it now, even at the risk of taking huge risks?

Sheng Shaoqing faintly sensed something, but she subconsciously didn't want to face such speculation, "Maybe he just saw the success of Nanjing's restructuring and wanted to learn from it."

Sheng Shaoqing just sat there staring at the candlelight in front of him for a long time, Lian Qiao and A Ning took turns persuading him for a long time, but it didn't work, the person who usually sleeps whenever he has time now just sits there without saying a word, Cui Yun is extremely anxious , when I didn't know what to do, I suddenly saw Princess Lin Yang walking towards this side with an umbrella holding an umbrella, and hurried over, whispering a few words beside Princess Lin Yang.

Princess Lin Yang tilted her head and said in surprise, "What you said is true?"

Cui Yun nodded helplessly.

Princess Lin Yang rolled up her sleeves and said angrily, "Didn't I just delay my trip for two days and arrive in Xiayi later, why would anyone dare to make my sister-in-law angry?!"

"Let's see who dares!"

Princess Lin Yang immediately quickened her pace and was about to rush into the house.

Cui Yun looked at Princess Rufeng's back from the back of Princess Lin Yang and felt flustered. She originally wanted to rescue the soldiers, but don't add fuel to the empress dowager's heart!

As soon as Princess Lin Yang entered the house, she was taken aback by the poor environment in the house. She had just arrived in Xiayi and hadn't had time to visit her own house, but the environment where the queen mother lived, she lived. Worse.

Sheng Shaoqing never allowed anyone to add lamp oil, and the light in the room gradually dimmed. Princess Lin Yang searched for a long time, before she found Sheng Shaoqing sitting there with her eyes closed on a chair in the corner.

"The empress dowager's sister-in-law."

The raging flame in Princess Lin Yang's chest suddenly cooled down the moment she saw Sheng Shaoqing, and the righteous indignation of wanting to fight for her sister-in-law disappeared instantly. Sheng Shaoqing suddenly opened his eyes in the dark when he heard the noise, and recognized the figure standing in front of him as Princess Lin Yang, Sheng Shaoqing twitched his lips and said, "Why are you here?"

Princess Lin Yang frowned, "Sister-in-law, why is your room so dark?"

"Where's Cui Yun? Why don't you come to light the lamp?"

Sheng Shaoqing pursed her dry lips, collected her thoughts, and said with a smile, "I didn't let her light the lamp, I want to be alone."

Princess Lin Yang said distressedly, "Who made the queen mother so sad?"

Sheng Shaoqing didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "Where is it?"

"I'm just a little confused and want to be quiet for a while, who told you I'm sad?"

Princess Lin Yang tentatively asked in doubt, "Really?"

Sheng Shaoqing said firmly, "No."

"Then why did someone tell me that my sister-in-law is very worried about the Tiancai stone. Today, I discussed with Prime Minister Ji and Master Xia for a long time, and I didn't even have time for dinner. After Master Ji left, you shut yourself in the room alone. Woolen cloth?"

"You also know about the Sky Color Stone?"

Princess Lin Yang found a comfortable seat and sat down before she replied, "Ah, isn't everyone already aware of this, and it's not unusual for me to know?"

Sheng Shaoqing frowned and said, "Everyone knows?"

Princess Lin Yang felt that she seemed to have said something wrong, and her sister-in-law's tone was colder than the ice cream she ate yesterday, she calmed down and explained, "Tiancai stone, someone in the capital used to make it with this stone. Bonsai, but later I heard that because the price has increased a lot, this bonsai has also become rare."

"However, Lin Yang has never liked these things, so he only heard the mansion gardener complain about the high price of the sky-colored stone, so Lin Yang told him not to use this broken stone in the future."

"As for the fact that Tiancai will harm one party?" Princess Lin Yang hissed before continuing, "After all, it is the matter of the third uncle's fiefdom, and Lin Yang only heard about it recently."

Princess Lin Yang laughed and said, "I thought it was my sister-in-law who suffered a loss in this matter, so I was depressed, and I wanted to help my sister-in-law vent her anger. Since my sister-in-law doesn't have one, Lin Yang can rest assured."

"It's not a disadvantage."

Princess Lin Yang was completely relieved after hearing the words.

"But this matter is more serious than suffering."

Princess Lin Yang raised her heart to her throat in an instant, can this sister-in-law speak without panting!
Princess Lin Yang was nervously waiting for the queen mother to say something serious, but Sheng Shaoqing suddenly asked, "When you first left Beijing, you were still ahead of me, why did you arrive in Xiayi a day later than me?"

"Hey!" Princess Lin Yang knew that Sheng Shaoqing was trying to whet her appetite, but she had no choice but to reply, "Hi! Sister-in-law, don't pick up any pots that you can't open."

Princess Lin Yang leaned back on the chair sadly, looked up at the leaky roof, and said melancholy, "Ask me what love is in this world, and it makes people—"

"Stop!", Sheng Shaoqing stopped Princess Lin Yang's lament immediately, she was annoyed, if she heard Princess Lin Yang pour out bitter water again, she would really become a bucket of bitterness.

A while ago, seeing that Princess Lin Yang's thoughts on Mr. Li had faded a lot, she was relieved a lot. She didn't expect this love to revive so quickly, and it was even worse after the comeback!
"Hey—" Princess Lin Yang said unwillingly, "Sister-in-law, why don't you listen to me!"

Sheng Shaoqing pursed his lips and said, "You, don't you just keep talking about those few sentences, talking over and over again? You don't mind being wordy, but I don't mind listening to it until my ears get callused."

Princess Lin Yang raised her proud head and said, "Sister-in-law, you should look at me with admiration for three days. We haven't seen each other for a long time. Why do you still think so of me?"

"Sure, if you have something new to say, it's fine, if there is a repetitive sentence, I will punish you."

"What crime should I punish you for?"

Cui Yun, who took the opportunity to come in to add lamp oil, smiled and said, "It's the crime of deceiving the king."

"Yes! Just treat this."

Cui Yun, whose name is to add lamp oil, is to observe how Princess Linyang is doing in battle, and finally walks out with confidence, or else the timely rain of Princess Linyang is just as wonderful as the spring rain in front of her!
Princess Lin Yang said to herself, "Of course it's new: Mr. Li is getting married soon."

Sheng Shaoqing:! ! ! ! ! ! !

This. Today's best must be Princess Lin Yang!
"Is the Mr. Li you mentioned and the Mr. Li I think of the same person?"

Princess Lin Yang nodded pointlessly, "Besides the Mr. Li whom Lin Yang fell in love with before, which Mr. Li does the Queen Mother know is related to Lin Yang?"

Sheng Shaoqing said with difficulty, "Then... who did he marry?"

Anyway, it will definitely not be Princess Lin Yang.

Otherwise, she would definitely not be what she is now.

"And Cui's little girl."

"I heard that they had discussed marriage before, but Lin Yang intervened, and it took a long time. No, Lin Yang just made it clear with Mr. Li a few days ago, and they are now engaged."

"It's true, if you ask what love is in the world, it will teach you how to live and die!"

"The Cui family's little girl cried when she heard that Lin Yang released him, she was like a pear blossom with rain, I feel pity for her."

"However, the two of them are indeed right when they are together. They are really talented and beautiful, and they are a match made in heaven!"

Sheng Shaoqing's heart "boomed" and broke into two halves again. The second pair she knocked on, BE again? ! ! !

She even made a bet with Cui Yun that they could succeed!

"Are you really not?" Sheng Shaoqing was really worried about Princess Lin Yang's current state of mind. He said with a smile that Mr. Li married someone else. Is this still Princess Lin Yang? ? ?

Obviously, it was obvious that he wanted to die because of Mr. Li before! ! !
Princess Lin Yang knew what Sheng Shaoqing was going to say, and said with a smile, "Let's just say that Lin Yang's news this time is fresh."

"However." Princess Lin Yang said in a sad tone, "Lin Yang still has some."

Princess Lin Yang took a long breath and said slowly, "Everything is over, he will not be a son-in-law, and I am not the former Princess Lin Yang."

Seeing Sheng Shaoqing's worried expression, Princess Lin Yang smiled and said, "Sister-in-law, don't you think Lin Yang is crazy?"

Sheng Shaoqing nodded and then quickly shook his head, "Your news... is really shocking."

"Lin Yang just figured it out. It's true that Mr. Li looks like a son-in-law, but he's not a son-in-law after all. The surprise at the first glance just aroused Lin Yang's nostalgia."

"Lin Yang and him are destined to be strangers."

"Lin Yang has been here for a long time, why doesn't my sister-in-law invite Lin Yang to have a cup of tea? Lin Yang's throat hurts after talking so much."

Princess Lin Yang smiled brightly, but Sheng Shaoqing seemed to see her tearful eyes.

Sheng Shaoqing didn't dare to offend Princess Lin Yang, who had just lost love, and hurriedly ordered someone to serve tea.

"So, can sister-in-law tell Lin Yang what is the more serious matter than suffering?"

Sheng Shaoqing sighed and said, "Lin Yang, you wanted to join forces with Prime Minister Ji in the past."

"It's done."

Princess Lin Yang:! ! ! ! ! ! !
The melancholy in Princess Lin Yang's heart was also swept away, and she said excitedly, "Really!"

Sheng Shaoqing nodded and said, "Could it be fake?"

"He intends to deal with the aristocratic family and old ministers. I think Mr. Wei will bear the brunt of it."

Princess Lin Yang stood up suddenly, pacing back and forth in the house, trying to calm herself down. After a long time, she cautiously reconfirmed and asked, "Sister-in-law, you won't lie to me, will you?"

Sheng Shaoqing smiled wryly, "Is this still a lie?"

"Otherwise, what do you think I'm worried about?"

"Sit down first, I'm almost dizzy with you walking around in front of my eyes."

Only then did Princess Lin Yang sit down again, but the trembling caused by the sudden excitement continued, and Princess Lin Yang's hand holding the teacup was still trembling.

"And I have also ordered that Li Lingjiang be strictly investigated."

Princess Lin Yang was a little puzzled, "Li Lingjiang?"

The name sounds familiar.

"It's Mrs. Li's younger brother."

"Before I asked you to go to Huangzhuang to check the accounts, it was also thanks to him."

Only then did Princess Lin Yang have a vague impression, and she asked in confirmation, "Is it the one with a medium build, a round face, small eyes, high cheekbones, and extremely thin lips?"

Sheng Shaoqing had only met Li Lingjiang once, but he was not able to accurately summarize all the characteristics of a person like Princess Lin Yang.

"Have you seen him?"

Princess Lin Yang replied hesitantly, "It should be. I probably met him at the family banquet of Qinghe Palace. I remember his Mrs. Li's younger brother is the grandson-in-law of Qinghe Palace. If he is right, then it is him."

Sheng Shaoqing responded, "It's him."

"He instigated Mrs. Li to steal public property. After the incident, he shifted the responsibility to the sons of many aristocratic families, and left himself completely. Because of these things, I had no choice but to press no action."

"I wanted to go to Chenliu to ask Shangshu Yun's opinion, but I didn't expect Prime Minister Ji to propose it before me, so I could only come as I wished."

Princess Lin Yang was shocked when she first heard about Li Lingjiang's outrageous behavior, but she still instinctively said, "Stealing property from the palace is a serious crime, sister-in-law can't let it go easily!"

"But Li Lingjiang has a lot of involvement behind him, and he has something to do with Nanjing. I'm worried."

Princess Lin Yang said categorically, "This matter must be investigated strictly, otherwise Li Lingjiang and his ilk will be indulged lightly, wouldn't they be even more arrogant?!"

Sheng Shaoqing nodded deeply and said, "Prime Minister Ji made this decision for me today too."

"What is the fate of this crime in general?"

Princess Lin Yang said casually, "It is inevitable that the family will be confiscated and exiled. The worst thing is that the whole family will be imprisoned. Let's beheaded after autumn."

Sheng Shaoqing gasped, how many people will die!
"Lin Yang remembers that there was a court lady who stole the master's jewelry to sell off in the previous dynasty. In the end, Ling Chi was sentenced to [-] knives. The knife was bloody but not fatal. She even hanged her life with ginseng soup. In the end, she survived for half a day. Moon couldn't stand the sun."

Sheng Shaoqing: ...

Seeing Sheng Shaoqing's ferocious face, Princess Lin Yang turned pale and looked at her in an instant, and asked suspiciously, "Queen, don't you?"

"Have you dealt with servants?"

Sheng Shaoqing shook his head.

"After tidying up the back house?"

Sheng Shaoqing shook his head.

Princess Lin Yang said "Tsk", "It seems that Brother Huang really loves you and never let you touch these things."

Sheng Shaoqing: This is the blame.
"This kind of thing. You have never done it. You must have seen someone else fix it?"

"A lowly maid is a lowly maid. If you dare to touch the master's things, you will have to pay the price. You can't let them lose their dignity and dignity?!"

Sheng Shaoqing looked at the indignant Princess Lin Yang who said "a lowly maid is a lowly maid", as if seeing Concubine Hua in front of her eyes, and said, "a lowly person is hypocritical."

"It's human life after all."

After finishing speaking, Sheng Shaoqing also felt that something was wrong. Sure enough, Princess Lin Yang looked at him with strange eyes, her eyes were full of surprise and admiration, "Queen Mother, sister-in-law, you are so compassionate. Living Buddha is alive"

The more Sheng Shaoqing heard it, the more strange he became. Why did the giant Buddha in Leshan be moved away and let her sit there?

"It doesn't have to be like that."

Then Princess Lin Yang calmed down and said, "However, it's better to put away the empress dowager's compassion for this kind of person."

"Since Li Lingjiang dared to do such a thing, he must have been prepared to face such a result."

Sheng Shaoqing shook his head, "I'm not worried about him, but his family."
