I write novels to become a saint

Chapter 202 The Prince's Arrival
Jiang Ning, Cao Mengruan finished writing the last word, put the pen on the pen mountain, and blew to dry the ink on the paper. At the same time, he also blew out the breath that had been held in his heart for half a year. He only felt The whole person became relaxed.

Since he planned to write "Story of the Stone" half a year ago, he seemed to have fallen into a bewilderment, completely immersed in his own story, immersed in the world of his own story, and until now, he has finally written this book. After writing "Story of the Stone", he lost a lot of weight because of it.

He is a great Confucian of the third grade of Confucianism and Taoism!

This book can be said to have devoted all his efforts.

Read it again from the beginning to the end, and after confirming that there is nothing to modify, Cao Mengruan chose to publish this article in the Palace of Literature.

……

In Zhen Guogong's mansion, Lin Zhenbei had already arranged servants to prepare a seat for She Shuyong in the hall, and at the same time got up, stood in the hall to welcome She Shuyong's arrival.

Lin Pingxi, on the other hand, walked out of his seat excitedly and came to the entrance of the hall.

At this time, the thin middle-aged She Shuyong in casual clothes entered the hall under the leadership of the servants.

Ignoring Lin Pingxi, who came up to him with a smile on his face, he walked towards Lin Qian with a smile on his face, and bowed his hands respectfully to Lin Qian with a smile, "Master Lin, I have admired your name for a long time, and today I see you, it really is a boy born of a hero! "

"Your Majesty Yu is too polite!"

Lin Qian also got up to return the salute. As the saying goes, if you don't hit a smiling person with your hand, you can't help but give face when others give you face. It's just that he didn't have much contact with She Shuyong before. I don't know why this minister minister would give himself face like this.

"That's not being polite."

She Shuyong smiled mysteriously and waved his hands, "I won't waste any more time, there are still people coming later."

Without further words, he looked at Lin Zhenbei who was at the side, "It's really a blessing for the Lin family to have such a nephew for Marquis Dongyang, congratulations!"

"Master Yu is polite, please take a seat!"

Only now did Lin Zhenbei realize what was going on. He knew Lin Qian's identity, but he was just confused by the anger of the Lin family.

This behavior made the atmosphere in the room strange, everyone was at a loss, not knowing what was wrong with She Shuyong, how could he be so polite to a young man, a junior from the Lin family.

Moreover, Lin Zhenbei actually arranged for a junior to sit in the hall, which is also unusual in itself, so, who is this young man?

Not only these guests, but the rest of the Lin family were also full of surprise, especially the eldest aunt. She had just ridiculed Lin Qian, and then a servant from the household department came. Naturally, her face had already turned red, and she felt a little pain.

And judging from She Shuyong's attitude towards Lin Qian, it's not that the elders value the younger ones at all, and it's not even considered an equal relationship between peers, but that they put themselves in a lower position than Lin Qian.

It's really too weird for a dignified servant of the household department to treat a young man like this.

If not everyone knew She Shuyong, they might think that this is an actor that Lin Qian invited from somewhere.

"It's just the servant of the household department. If I swell my face to pretend to be fat, I may not be able to invite people of this level."

Outside the hall, after Lin Hong was extremely shocked, he began to secretly compare himself with Lin Qian. He didn't think he would be worse than a wild boy.

"Shangshu Wu Wenmian, Mr. Wu is here!"

At this moment, the concierge's roll call sounded again outside the courtyard.

The concierge also secretly wiped his sweat. Fortunately, he has met many important people in his daily life, and Wu Wenmian is famous enough. Otherwise, if he didn't know him, then he might be the concierge.

Hearing this sound, the courtyard became commotion again.

Everyone knows the reason why the Minister of the Ministry of War can come, because Yue Dalai was a soldier under Mr. Lin before, and he was taken care of by Mr. Lin so much that he is today. It is only natural for him to come.

But Wu Wenmian didn't have any contact with the Lin family before, so why did he come here?
Lin Hong had a bad premonition in his heart. The last unexpected visitor seemed to be because of Lin Qian. Could it be... no...

"Master Wu!"

Both Lin Zhenbei and Lin Pingxi walked out of the hall to greet them. As Ministers of the Ministry of Punishment, they deserved such grandeur.

"Congratulations to Marquis Dongyang. You have a good nephew. The Lin family is hopeful!"

Wu Wenmian clasped his fists to salute Lin Zhenbei, but he also ignored Lin Pingxi, a dude who only knew how to eat, drink and have fun, and gnawed at Mr. Lin's Yu Yin.

"nephew?"

"Which nephew?"

The guests in the courtyard immediately grasped the important point and understood why Wu Wenmian came, but who is the nephew he was talking about?
These people looked at the table closest to the hall, where the three generations of the Lin family sat.

The first thing they saw was Lin Hong, the leader of the three generations of the Lin family, but Lin Hong was Lin Zhenbei's son, so naturally he couldn't be his nephew.

As for the nephew, it can only be Lin Pingxi's son. Then, they looked at Lin Chen who was full of dandies, and after just one glance, they shook their heads.

Then, under the leadership of Lin Zhenbei, the group returned to the hall. Wu Wenmian also saw Lin Qian who was still drinking soup in the hall. Only then did Lin Pingxi realize that Lin Qian didn't even stand up to greet him. If it wasn't for Wu Wenmian, he would have With him by his side, he really wanted to teach his third brother a lesson for this useless son.

However, at this time, Wu Wenmian walked over to Lin Qian, "Xiaoyou Lin really has the demeanor of a general. He doesn't change his face when Mount Tai collapses on the top. He is also a master of poetry. I like Xiaoyou's song Qilu Crossing the River very much. I should write it down." Victory and courage in chasing the poor, you can't be famous for learning to be a king, it's really the truth in it, I want to sit and discuss poetry with Lin Xiaoyou when I have time."

"Master Wu is polite."

Lin Qian stood up and returned the salute, "I don't dare to be a master. If I have free time, the junior would like to ask the senior for advice on poetry."

"Okay! That's a deal!"

Wu Wenmian was in a good mood, and after exchanging pleasantries with Lin Qian, he came to the place that Lin Zhenbei specially added for him.

Lin Hong, who was sitting outside the hall, wailed in his heart, and he guessed right, Wu Wenmian actually came for Lin Qian.

This time, he finally lost his temper completely. Even if he smashed his face, he still couldn't invite Shangshu-level figures to back him up.

Not everyone in the living room knew Lin Qian's identity, but the two of them chatted with Lin Qian one after another, which made them understand that this Lin Qian was not ordinary, no wonder he was able to sit in the hall as a child of three generations of the Lin family.

At this moment, even the eldest aunt, second aunt, and second uncle and the elders of the Lin family became suspicious. Thinking of Lin Qian's words before, they suddenly had a terrible thought, "Could it be that he didn't speak arrogantly just now, but just said the truth?"

"Impossible, absolutely impossible!"

Although this idea couldn't help popping up in their minds, they quickly suppressed it. They didn't believe it, and they didn't want to believe it.

However, some of the guests in the hall had already guessed Lin Qian's identity, "It's better to be brave enough to chase down the poor, not to be known as the overlord." Lin Qian's identity can be said to be revealed soon, but they hadn't been able to contact these two people before. Just together.

Who would have thought that the famous Tiandao poet in Daqian was actually from the Lin family of Zhen Guo Gong!

Many people even thought of the good news from Hongdu a few days ago, and suddenly understood why She Shuyong and Wu Wenmian came for Lin Qian. If Lin Qian continues to follow this momentum, he may not be able to become another town. Duke!

"The Minister of Rites, Wen Tiren, Mr. Wen is here!"

"Military Minister Qiao Yunshan, Mr. Qiao is here!"

"Dou Zhizhen, the censor of Zuodu, Mr. Dou is here..."

Next, the gatekeeper outside the courtyard continued to roll the rolls, and one after another, big shots arrived one after another.

The visitor who originally thought it was coming to an end, did not expect that this was just the beginning.

"Wu... Xia Yan, a scholar of the Hall of Martial Arts, Mr. Xia is here!"

When the concierge read these words, he couldn't help stuttering. The visitor was too scary. The first assistant, Xia Yan, actually came to the Lin Mansion to celebrate Lin Zhenbei's birthday in person. The news spread , It's enough for Lin Zhenbei to boast for a lifetime.

And being able to see Master Downpayment so close, the concierge felt that he could boast for the rest of his life.

After Emperor Qianyuan indulged in pleasure, the actual person in power in Daqian was the chief assistant. Everyone didn't say anything, but they were like mirrors in their hearts.

Xia Yan nodded to the porter who was sweating profusely, and walked towards the courtyard.

"He nodded to me!"

"Master Shoufu nodded to me!"

The concierge's eyes were out of focus, his cheeks were flushed, and he began to babble as if he was drunk, feeling light and airy all over.

Fortunately, no other guests came at this time, otherwise it would be extremely rude to see him like this.

"The Lin family is really lucky!"

Entering the compound, seeing the members of the Lin family who came out to greet him, Xia Yan expressed his feelings.

Needless to say, Mr. Lin, to be able to become the Duke of Zhen, he is naturally a dragon among men, and the second generation has a talent like Lin Xiaonan. Although there is an accident, if there is no accident, I am afraid that he will be able to achieve a lot. Yu Zhen Guogong's career.

Now Lin Qian came out again, this Lin family really did not know what kind of shit luck they had, to produce such a large number of talents.

"Lord Xia!"

This time, it wasn't just the Lin family who came out of the hall, everyone in the hall came out to greet them, including Yue Dalai, Shangshu of the Ministry of War, and Wu Wenmian, Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishment.

Lin Qian also came out, and it went so smoothly in Hongdeng. Without Xia Yan's support, he would not have been able to do it. Xia Yan had helped him many times before, and he respected this elder very much.

Xia Yan nodded to everyone and didn't say much. Instead, he looked at Lin Qian and smiled. Everyone even saw a hint of excitement on his face, "You are doing well in Hongdu!"

He was indeed very excited. Although he had helped Lin Qian a lot, and he believed that Lin Qian could make a career out of it, he did not expect that the answer sheet that Lin Qian gave him far exceeded his expectations. , beyond his imagination, he didn't even think, never thought that such a thing could happen.

Hearing this sentence, all the guests in the audience were shocked, Mr. Shoufu actually came for this junior of the three generations of the Lin family!

Combining the name Lin Qian and the Hongdu mentioned by Xia Yan, everyone had a horrible guess. At the same time, the rating of the Lin family in their hearts had risen several levels again, and they were a little glad that they came today.

Many of them just wanted to cook a cold stove, but they didn't expect that this Lin family was not a cold stove, but a big hot stove. Their investment can be said to be profitable!
"Sure enough, Master Xia is also here for Lin Qian!"

Lin Hong clenched his hands, crushed the wine glass he was holding, and let the porcelain stick into his palm, tears and blood flowed out, but he didn't feel it.

He is not a fool. Combining the verses just now, and what Xia Yan said about Hongdu, he also guessed that his cousin is really the poet of the way of heaven. Lin Qian, who has made great achievements in the world!

He only now understood that Lin Qian was not arrogant. Luo Cheng was the one who was arrogant. As Lin Qian said, what kind of Luo Cheng is he, and he deserves Lin Qian to apologize to him?
What was he, Lin Hong, worthy of Lin Qian's apology?

Thinking of this, Lin Hong hunched up. Thinking of what he had done, he couldn't help blushing. Regret gnawed at his heart like ants. How much he now hopes that what happened today didn't happen. In this way, he There is also a cousin who is a poet of the way of heaven and has an official career.

It's a pity that the mechanism is too clever!

Lin Yu also looked at Lin Qian who was talking and laughing with Xia Yan in a daze, and was in a daze for a moment. In his heart, Lin Hong had always been the best figure among the three generations of the Lin family.

Why did Lin Qian appear out of nowhere, able to attract so many big shots, and chat and laugh happily with Mrs. Xia Yanxia, ​​the chief assistant? She felt that her world was shattering.

The three generations of the Lin family on the side also didn't come back to their senses. Thinking that they followed Lin Hong to the hall to threaten Lin Qian just now, the faces of these people suddenly became ugly. It was the unicorns of the Lin family and their thighs, but now But under the leadership of Lin Hong, they personally swept this thigh out of the door.

Instead of reflecting on their own problems, they resented Lin Honglai, and even Lin Qian and the others hated him. You are so famous, why didn't you say it earlier?
Of course, if Lin Qian met people and said that I was a poet of heaven and I was the magistrate of Hongdu, they would probably secretly curse Lin Qian as a pretender in their hearts.

After being noisy for a while, the courtyard became quiet again.

Lin Hong also slowly came back to his senses, and used a handkerchief to treat the wound on his palm a little bit, as if nothing happened.

"Associating with the new party may not be a good thing for my Lin family."

He said softly that the table was filled with three generations of the Lin family, so he didn't hold back too much.

Hearing this, everyone also realized that the prince is now on the side of the old party. If Emperor Qianyuan dies and the prince succeeds, the new party will inevitably be liquidated due to the current hatred between the old and new parties.

At that time, even if you are a poet of heaven, even if you kill more than ten thousand barbarians in Hongdu, it will only become a tragedy under the pressure of this kind of power. Lin Qian, who has a good relationship with the old party, may also be implicated. Taibai, a poetic immortal who is astoundingly talented and unsurpassed by anyone, can only swim in the mountains and rivers of the East China Sea.

In the end, it will even implicate the Lin family.

It has to be said that human beings have a powerful self-regulation ability, and the human brain will always guide the development in the direction that has the least impact on the self. If you don’t think about it this way, today’s events may become an eternal shadow in the hearts of these three generations of children. .

After thinking about it this way, they felt more and more reasonable, and even under self-suggestion, they thought that Lin Qian was a scourge.

"It's better to drive this scourge out of the Lin family as soon as possible, just like driving out his father back then!"

Lin Zhikui, the grandson of the younger brother of Lord Zhen Guo, the grandson of Lin Qian's third uncle, immediately shouted angrily, as if he had seen the tragic situation of the Lin family being ransacked and wiped out under the influence of Lin Qian.

"That's right, Lin Qian should be kicked out of the Lin family as soon as possible, but don't implicate us."

The rest of the disciples agreed one after another. Their thinking was simple. Since they had already offended Lin Qian to death, they might as well drive Lin Qian out of the Lin family, out of sight and out of mind.

Lin Hong thought more about it. The Duke of Zhen's title cannot be hereditary, but the title of Marquis of Dongyang can be hereditary. Given the current situation of the Lin family, this title should naturally belong to him. But if Lin Qian returns to the Lin family, the final The ownership of the title of Marquis of Dongyang is difficult to say.

Of course, he would benefit the most from driving Lin Qian out of the Lin family.

Others may not have the idea of ​​standing in line.

Of course there are those who disagree, but under the coercion of the majority, their voices are not important.

However, at this moment, there was another shout of fame outside the courtyard, "His Royal Highness, His Royal Highness Princess Yong'an is here!"

The roll call was sharp and resonant, and it didn't sound like a concierge's voice, but rather that of a eunuch.

The concierge, who was still immersed in the ecstasy of Shoufu's nodding to him, was also awakened by this voice. He was startled, but saw a young man in a bright yellow brocade robe embroidered with four-clawed flying dragons first walked into the courtyard.

Behind the young man was a girl in a white dress with pink peach flowers embroidered on it, and at the end was an eunuch in a blue robe.

"His Royal Highness is here!"

The concierge was a little dizzy. He had been a concierge in the Zhen Guogong Mansion for decades, and it was precisely because he was well-informed and experienced that he was arranged to greet guests outside the courtyard and roll their names.

Not to mention the crown prince, His Majesty the Emperor even came here in person when Lord Zhen Guo was here, but it was only once in so many years, and it was the [-]th birthday of Lord Zhen Guo, which was the heyday of Spring and Autumn.

Even when Lord Zhen Guo was alive, such scenes were rare.

But now that Zhen Guo Gongxian is going, and this time it is only Dongyang Hou's birthday banquet, His Royal Highness has been alarmed!
Even if the concierge is like this, the guests in the courtyard are even more excited.

When Xia Yan arrived, they all understood that Wu Wenmian, Shangshu of the Ministry of Justice, and others were members of the New Party, and the leader of the New Party was Xia Yan, so there is no doubt that those people in front came because of Xia Yan's face , and Xia Yan naturally valued Lin Qian.

Lin Qian's identity is no longer a secret in the eyes of these people, but what they can't figure out is why the prince supported by the old party came?
Now that the old and the new parties in the Dagan court are in the same situation, since the new party has already supported Lin Qian, it is naturally impossible for the crown prince to come because of Lin Qian. Does the Lin family have another unicorn?

Everyone couldn't help looking at Lin Hong who was on the table outside the hall.

If this is the case, then they will have to re-evaluate the current Lin family!
"See Your Highness!"

No matter how everyone was thinking, when the prince walked into the courtyard, everyone saluted respectfully, even the ministers in the hall came out, Xia Yan also nodded slightly to salute the prince.

"You don't have to be polite, I just came to celebrate Dongyang Hou's birthday, today is the same as everyone, we are guests!"

The prince was not arrogant, but said with a gentle smile that although he is a prince and has a noble status, he is only a prince after all.

"His Royal Highness is really flattered to come to the veteran's birthday banquet in person. Please, please take a seat!"

Lin Zhenbei's face was full of red, and he invited the prince to enter the hall, and directly gave up his seat, asking the prince to sit. He didn't know why the prince came, but since he came, it was the glory of his Lin family.

"You don't have to be polite, Marquis Dongyang, I'll just sit next to Brother Lin Xian."

The prince waved his hand and refused, and went straight to sit next to Lin Qian, and beckoned to let Yongan sit on the other side of Lin Qian.

This scene immediately solidified the atmosphere of the scene again.

"Could it be that the prince is also here for Lin Qian?"

The prince quickly gave the answer, and after sitting down, he chatted enthusiastically with Lin Qian, "Brother Lin Xian's battle in Hongdu really made me feel proud and proud of our country, but it's a pity that my brother's status is embarrassing, otherwise, I would like to be a brother." Going to the northern border, fighting the barbarians for life and death on the battlefield, just thinking about it makes one's blood boil..."

"Go to the north, dog... It's better for Lin Qian to stay in Chang'an, and he can play backgammon with me. The environment in the north is so harsh."

Before the crown prince finished speaking, she was interrupted by Yong'an. She almost subconsciously called out the dog slave, but thought of so many people around, she changed her words in time. Now the meaning of these three words has changed drastically. As willful as she is, she can't say these three words in public.

The prince smiled, and didn't say much, he knew his sister very well, so it's not surprising that she said such things...

"I also want to stay in Chang'an!"

Lin Qian sighed softly. In front of Yong'an, he didn't have much pretense, but he understood that if he wanted to live a peaceful life, he had to get rid of all the dangers that might disturb his peace first!
The three of them talked as if there was no one else present, and everyone present could see some clues. Those who could sit in the hall were naturally veterans in the officialdom. Especially after seeing the interaction between Yong'an and Lin Qian, they all understood why the prince would do that today. coming.

This Lin Qian, maybe he is about to become a son-in-law!

The purpose of the prince's coming is also very simple, not to fall for the new party, but to compete with the new party for Lin Qian, even at the expense of his own sister.

Of course, it seemed that Yong'an and Lin Qian were in love with each other.

What surprised them was that Lin Qian was able to let the prince do this, which was enough to show that the prince valued him. Does Lin Qian have any great achievements that they don't know about?
Outside the hall, the three generations of the Lin family looked at Lin Hong with strange expressions.

Lin Hong could no longer keep calm, and his face began to change rapidly, from blue to red.

He just said that Lin Qian was attached to the new party and would probably be liquidated after the crown prince took office. Now that it's all right, the crown prince has come directly and is so close to Lin Qian. Does this seem like he will liquidate Lin Qian after he takes office?
