Chapter 74 Take a Step to Talk

The autumn wind is not strong, and it has gradually cooled down in the past few days.

But Bo Cheng's gesture of taking a look and taking another step made the back of Xu Jian's neck involuntarily sweat again.

Lin Yunyan was thinking about the identity of Mrs. Wang, when her father asked Xu Jianjian to speak alone, she couldn't help raising her eyes.

Is there anything she can't hear?

Could it be that the father wants to talk about the influence relationship between her concubine and Zhu Cheng from the godfather behind Mrs. Wang?
When it comes to the relationship between men and women, it's not surprising that her father doesn't want her to listen.

Then don't listen to it...

For inside information related to BRICS and even Li Mi, just ask Xu Jian later.

Lin Yu didn't want to make Lin Yunyan worry too much, so he added another sentence to her: "You sit and drink tea, if you want to eat candied haws, you can tell your mother, and I will talk to the Duke about court affairs."

Lively, the father stabilized the appearance of the child.

Xu Jian suddenly thought of his grandfather.

Many years ago, when he was a four or five-year-old boy, his grandfather took him out of the house. On the way, he encountered colleagues who wanted to talk about something, and this was how he kept him safe.

It feels very familiar, but also very nostalgic.

Thinking about it this way, the anxiety of "taking a step to speak" has eased a lot.

Xu Jian got up, and asked Bo Cheng sincerely.

Before Lin Yu, Lin Yunyan stood up abruptly: "I'll go to the shop in front of me to find some interesting things. Let's talk with Father and Duke here."

After finishing speaking, she walked forward quickly, lifted the curtain and entered the shop.

In front of you, there are tall steps.

Lin Yunyan pursed her lips.

Does she still know Xu Jian?

The number of people who can enter Xu Jian's study can be counted on one hand.

Even her father, who visited Fuguo Duke's mansion in the past, never went in.

Although the study here is not as good as in the mansion, Xu Jian's stink problem probably cannot be changed.

Those rooms in the backyard, the shopkeeper's and He's mother's residence, the rest of the woodshed, kitchen, where can they talk?
In the end, nine out of ten had to go upstairs to the private room to discuss matters.

That being the case, it's better for her to make room quickly.

It has been raining a lot these past few nights, so don't bother Xu Jian's injured leg.

In the yard, Xu Jian glanced at the dangling curtain and sat down again.

In some situations, you need to be kind.

After all, he didn't want to be greeted by Lin Yunyan with a word of "good health" after meeting.

It was impossible for Lin Yu who didn't know what was going on inside to understand, but the location was not the key to being able to talk to Xu Jian alone.

"Li Mi, the fourth son of the first emperor," Lin Yu took a deep breath, "I don't want to say in front of Yun Yan, Grandpa Haihan."

Having said that, Xu Jian thought quickly, and roughly guessed the reason: "Because of Dingguo Temple?"

The three words of Dingguo Temple made Lin Yu's serious expression deeper, and even his voice tightened a little: "Fu Guogong understands the old things?"

"At that time, I was just a child," Xu Jian said. "A few years ago, my grandfather talked about the things before the Holy Majesty's ascension to the throne, and we just got a little superficial."

Lin Yu nodded slightly, and told about the past.

It all started in the early autumn of the 27th year of Taixing.

In the past three years, natural disasters continued, the southwest earthquake, the locust plague in the Central Plains, the dam collapse of the two lakes, and the heavy snow in the north. Under such attacks, the hardworking Emperor Taixing fell ill.

Li Cang, the eldest son of the emperor who was assisted by the Sangong, supervised the dynasty.

Li Cang's ability and background should have been what everyone wanted, but they didn't think so. He took care of the government during the day and served the imperial court at night, and he also fell ill suddenly.

This disease came on fiercely, and it seemed to be more severe than that of Emperor Taixing, which made all the ambitious younger brothers jump up.

The DPRK and China proposed offering incense and praying for blessings. This is both an achievement and an opportunity.

I went, asked, and fulfilled, the first meritorious service before the imperial court, even if I didn't ask for good, I can still take filial piety as the most important thing, and take a lot of hard work, but Dingguo Temple is not in the capital, the imperial city, even if it is in the capital, it is not In front of the Golden Luan Hall, if there is a situation, the opportunity will be lost.

As a result, the princes wanted to go, but they didn't want to go, and they were even more afraid of others going.

Finally, Li Yimao, the sixth son of the emperor, recommended himself.

"It's the current one. The current one didn't care about the big position at the time. It's better for him to pray than other brothers. Only in this way can a balance be reached." Lin Yu shook his head with a sigh.

Li Yi went to Dingguo Temple, accompanied by the concubine Xia and his only son Li Shao.

The Xia family ordered other female family members to accompany the female officials, among them was Lin Yunyan's mother Shen Yun.

Half a month into the temple to pray, one night Li Yi had a verbal argument with Xia Shi, Li Yi left the residence and went to the main hall to take care of himself, Xia Shi recruited Shen Yun to speak, to relieve the depression in his heart.

Unexpectedly, the town under Dingguo Temple was attacked by bandits, and a townsman who escaped in a hurry came to the temple to rescue soldiers.

Li Yi was in the front hall, after hearing this, how could there be any reason to ignore it?
He ordered the guards, led the soldiers himself, and went down the mountain with the monks to rescue them.

More than half of the people in the town were killed or injured. The rescuers killed the bandits and rushed to rescue the wounded, but a fire broke out in the temple on the mountain...

Shen Yun rescued Li Shao, and when he tried to save Xia Shi again, neither of them escaped.

"The Holy Majesty is very regretful. He told me several times that if he hadn't argued with the queen that day, he would have been stopped by the queen if he wanted to lead the troops down the mountain. If only the guards went down the mountain and he stayed in the room, when the fire broke out, he Can bring out the queen and prince, instead of..."

Of course, in Lin Yu's view, this is the stubbornness of reversing the process based on the ending.

If Li Yi was inside, perhaps he could save a few more people as he said, but maybe he would also be trapped inside.

The fire was too urgent and too fast. After the monks went down the mountain, the old and weak monks stayed behind in the temple. No matter how hard they tried, they would eventually be powerless.

In those few years, the people were in a difficult situation, and there were indeed bandits who went to the mountains and went to the sea, but the area around Gyeonggi was considered to be peaceful, and there were bandits attacking the town.

After the incident, Li Yi of course questioned this, but he had no clues or evidence, so he could only let it go for the time being.

Until half a year later, in January of the 28th year of Taixing.

An unknown whistleblowing clue came to Li Yi.

The bandits are fake, they were originally dead soldiers, and Tu Zhenzi wanted to frighten the government and the public, so that the whole court started to pay.

Clearing up the payment is merit. In order to grab merit, there are no bandits in the local area, and they use hungry people to make up for it.

And among the settlements that lasted for half a year, it seemed that the lineage of the eldest son of the emperor, Li Cang, had made the most profit.

Although Li Yi was angry, he was not fooled.

Li Cang already had the upper hand, but because of his poor health, he was held back by his other brothers. There was no need for him to do such a thing.

Therefore, when the third son of the emperor challenged Li Cang for this, Li Yi supported Li Cang instead.

The vicious crimes completely overwhelmed Li Cang's body, and finally walked ahead of his father, Emperor Taixing.

In grief, Emperor Taixing imprisoned the third son who provoked the trouble in Yongji Palace, and the fourth son Li Mi who robbed the most meritorious service was demoted to a commoner and expelled from Beijing. Before his death, he listened to the opinions of important ministers and the empress Shen , Passed the throne to Li Yi.

Li Yi ascended the throne and changed Yuan Yongjia. He enshrined his aunt Shen as empress dowager, and later named Xia as empress. Li Shao, who was only six years old, was made prince.

"Who appointed the fake mountain bandits who attacked the town? There has been no conclusion on this matter. Some say it belonged to the one from Yongji Palace, and others said it belonged to Li Mi." Lin Yu calmed down, "Dingguo Temple is flooded." It was an accident, not deliberate.

There is nothing too taboo about this past, but I don't want Yun Yan to listen to it.

She was too young to go to Dingguo Temple with her mother, but maybe it was the heart-to-heart connection between mother and daughter, and she had a terrifying dream when she was young..."

Lin Yu suddenly stopped.

Xu Jian remained silent all this time, listening carefully to his old stories. Lin Yu opened up the chatterbox, but didn't catch all of it. The last few sentences were only related to Yun Yan, not Li Mi, so he shouldn't have said it to Fu Guogong.

Talk too much, talk too much...
