The Red Chamber: The Rise of the Lin Mansion

"Go."

...

After Lin Yun left, Shi Xiangyun bid farewell to Shi Nai and his wife in a bewildered manner, and led the maid Cui Hui back to his residence.

After entering the door, she asked Cuihui, "Cuilu, am I dreaming?"

Cui Hui smiled and said, "Girl, are we all awake?"

Shi Xiangyun: "Brother Lin is not an official. How could the emperor summon him?"

Cui Wei: "I just heard from the master that it seems to be something about sending troops to Siam."

Shi Xiangyun: "Sending troops is a major military event, why does the emperor ask Brother Lin's opinion?"

"I don't know about this servant girl. When you see Miss Lin tomorrow, just ask her."

When Shi Xiangyun heard Cuilu talk about this, he secretly rejoiced, "I can go to Lin's mansion to live for a few days. I don't have to work hard to be a female celebrity, but I can also play chess with sister Lin. I am so happy."

Chapter 81: Merit and Demerit

Lin Yun originally planned to ask Ning Heng to accompany him into the palace to meet the emperor, but when the boy heard that he was going to meet the emperor, he immediately slipped away.

In desperation, he had no choice but to follow his servants to the Daming Palace and the Imperial Study to meet him.

...

Outside the Imperial Study Room, Lin Yun saw Dai Quan who had come out to greet him, and was secretly happy. He hurriedly handed Dai Quan a bank note, and asked in a low voice, "Old Minister, do you know why Your Majesty summoned me?"

Dai Quanpi accepted the bank note.He said cheerfully, "Think about it for yourself, have you done anything wrong recently?"

Lin Yun thought about it in his mind, except for beating Feng Xiang in the academy, then he would go to Bowling Hou's mansion to pay his respects to the birthday today, the emperor wouldn't bother him because of this matter.

While thinking about his thoughts, he followed Dai Quan to the imperial study.

After entering the room, the spacious imperial study room looked deserted. After walking dozens of steps, a middle-aged man in a dragon robe was sitting behind a table. He must be His Majesty the Emperor of Dachu. .

Because of the distance, the light in the room was not too bright, so he couldn't see the emperor's face clearly, and naturally he didn't know whether the emperor was happy or angry.

Lin Yun kept Dai Quan's instructions in mind, walked forward with his head down, and kowtowed to the emperor who was sitting behind the royal eucalyptus, "Lin Yun pays homage to His Majesty."

After the worship, there was not even a sound from the opposite side. After a long time, there was still no movement.

He secretly raised his head and looked up, this look almost made him faint from fright, it turned out that the person sitting behind the imperial book was actually the guy who let him study in the academy.

Seeming to have noticed Lin Yun's little trick, Emperor Zhide snorted softly and said, "Lin Shizi, you can be convicted."

Lin Yun said hurriedly: "Your Majesty, please forgive me. I didn't know your identity that day. If I have offended you in any way, please forgive me for this."

Emperor Zhide said angrily: "What a mess, I'm asking you, can you be convicted?"

Lin Yun said inexplicably: "I really don't know what crime I have committed, please make it clear, Your Majesty."

Emperor Zhide sneered and said: "It seems that you have done a lot of bad things, and you can't even remember them. I come to ask you, what is the relationship between Dong Xiong and you?"

"Uh,"

When Lin Yun heard the emperor say Dong Xiong's name, he immediately felt that something was wrong, and cold sweat broke out on his back.

He suddenly remembered that the emperor paid so much attention to the salt class in Jiangnan, why did he not pay attention to the appointment of military attachés to investigate illegal salt? He was really stupid. This was obviously lighting a lantern in the toilet, looking for shit (death).

When Emperor Zhide saw his eyes rolling, he immediately scolded him: "Hurry up and get the real deal."

Lin Yun said with a bitter face: "Your Majesty, Dong Xiong saw me entering Prince Xuan's mansion with His Royal Highness that day, so he came to the door and asked me to help him beg for favors in front of His Highness, and move him up. I was grateful for how much he took care of me on the way to Beijing, so I helped him make a premise under His Highness, and I don't know about the rest of it."

Emperor Zhide: "Is it your request to transfer Dong Xiong to investigate private salt dealers?"

"Yes."

Emperor Zhide: "You really have a heart, everyone has arrived in the capital, and you still don't forget to arrest the private salt dealers."

"Thank you for your praise, Your Majesty."

"Uh,"

Emperor Zhide thought to himself, "I'm just mocking you, okay?"

After thinking about it, Emperor Zhide said again: "I hope you have done something good in your previous suggestions, so I will spare you this time. If you dare to do it again next time, you will not be spared lightly."

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness."

"Get up."

"Here."

Lin Yun stood up, raised his sleeves and wiped the sweat from his forehead, thinking, "This saying that being with you is like being with a tiger is true."

Emperor Zhide: "I'm here to ask you, how did you come up with the Ping Nan policy you offered?"

Lin Yun said in his heart: "I just copied it, but I dare not tell the truth."

After thinking for a while, he said: "Reporting to Your Majesty, I have heard about the difficulties faced by the court. Since I can't send out a large army, and I can't ignore Siam's request for help, I thought of this compromise. The method, as for whether it can be used, please ask His Majesty to judge."

Emperor Zhide: "If I send [-] elite soldiers into the Siamese kingdom and provoke Annan's lord to send a large army to encircle and suppress them, how will we deal with it then?"

Lin Yun: "First of all, with tens of thousands of elite soldiers under the command of King Nan'an applying pressure on the border, King Annan would never dare to raise a large number of troops to invade Siam. Secondly, Annan's army is good at defending but not good at attacking. As long as the generals leading our army are not They are mediocre, with the support of the Siamese army and the people, they defeated the invading Annan army with ease."

Emperor Zhide chuckled and said: "You, a boy who has never even been on the battlefield, dare to underestimate the combat power of the Annan Army."

Lin Yun: "Although I have never been on the battlefield, I also know the importance of the right time, place and people to a war. If our army aggressively attacks Annan, the right time, place and people will lose all three. Conversely, if our army is in Siem When Luo Guo fights with Annan's army, the right time, place and people are all in our army's hands, so if we still can't win, the general who leads the army should wipe his neck and commit suicide."

Emperor Zhide's heart was moved when he heard the words. Prince Xuan had told him about these analysis, but he didn't expect that the little guy in front of him would know this too.

He thought for a while, and then said: "If the Lord Annan knows about my plan and stays put for the time being, what will happen to our army?"

Lin Yun said without hesitation: "Send someone to bribe their internal officials to persuade the Annan King to send troops to harass Siam. If this plan fails, then let people pretend to be Siamese soldiers and cross the border to kill a few Annan soldiers or Common people, the Lord Annan will definitely not ignore it."

Emperor Zhide heard a toothache for a while, and he secretly said in his heart: "This kid is just a little killer. It's a pity that he doesn't become a general."

Lin Yun: "Your Majesty, I believe that firearms will be king in the future battlefield. I would like to ask Your Majesty to increase the investment in firearms workshops, so that they can develop new types of artillery and firecrackers, and fully equip our army in Dachu."

Emperor Zhide: "You have never been on the battlefield, how dare you talk about the pros and cons of firearms lightly."

Lin Yun was speechless when he heard it. It was the same sentence. If you have not been on the battlefield, you have no right to speak.

Emperor Zhide changed the subject and said, "You have been studying in the academy for some time. How do you feel?"

Lin Yun: "Reporting to Your Majesty, the course design of Yichen Academy is very good, but the two meals a day cannot meet the nutritional needs of scholars. I would like to ask Your Majesty to talk to Lu Shanchang to let him raise the standard of food."

Emperor Zhide said with a smile: "I can't satisfy you, let the scholars eat twice a day, but your mountain chief carefully considered it."

"If it's not possible, we can provide some pastries for the scholars at noon, so that everyone will not be hungry and affect their studies."

Emperor Zhide: "I can make suggestions to your mountain chiefs, and I can't guarantee whether they will be adopted or not."

Lin Yun said in his heart: "Yes, talking for a long time is equivalent to talking for nothing."

Chapter 82: Bribing the Emperor

Emperor Zhide: "Do you have any good suggestions for the academy's teaching?"

Lin Yun hurriedly said: Your Majesty, I suggest adding a military course in the academy, so that the scholars can learn how to form troops, ride horses, and shoot, so that many military talents who are loyal to His Majesty can be cultivated.

Emperor Zhide's eyes lit up when he heard the words, he was moved by Lin Yun's last words.At first, Yichen Academy was established just to satisfy Lu Xingzhi's wishes, and later some outstanding children of courtiers were recruited into the Academy, just to win people's hearts for him.But it would be great if he could cultivate generals who are only loyal to him.

Thinking of this, Emperor Zhide said calmly: "Your suggestion is very good. I will propose it to your mountain leader next time I see him."

Lin Yun smiled and said, "Your Majesty, I have helped you come up with such a good idea, should you reward me with something?"

Emperor Zhide looked at Lin Yun in surprise, thinking that this kid must be too courageous to ask for a reward in person.

Dai Quan stepped forward and reprimanded Lin Yun: "Lin Xiucai, don't be so presumptuous in front of His Majesty."

Emperor Zhide waved his hand and said, "Let him tell, I really want to hear what reward he wants."

Lin Yun said with a smile: "I want His Majesty to reward you with a calligraphy as a plaque for the perfume shop I opened in the capital, so that I can gain popularity early."

"Uh,"

The Supreme Emperor looked at Lin Yun in confusion. He never expected that this boy would make such a bizarre request.

Just when Emperor Zhide was weighing whether to agree to this boy's request, Lin Yun added, "If your majesty feels that you are at a disadvantage, I can give you 1000 taels of embellishment fee."

Dai Quan reprimanded anxiously and angrily: "Shut up, you~"

Emperor Zhide raised his hand to interrupt Dai Quan's words, "That's the deal, 1000 taels of silver, I will help you write a letter."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

"Dai Quan, ask the servant to fetch the rice paper."

"The old slave respects the order."

Emperor Zhide stood up, tidied up Yuan, and then asked Lin Yun, "What do you want for a painting?"

"A piece of incense."

Zhide Di said happily: "You really dare to say it."

Lin Yun said happily: "With this name, and the royal treasure mentioned by His Majesty himself, my perfume business will definitely become a hit."

"You have a way of making money."

"Thank you for your praise, Your Majesty."

Emperor Zhide thought to himself: "Are I praising you? I am mocking you, okay?"

After a while, a servant brought in several sheets of rice paper and placed them on the royal eucalyptus.

Emperor Zhide held a vermilion brush in his hand, dipped it in thick ink, and wrote the three big characters of "Pinxiang" on the rice paper with one stroke.

Lin Yun quickly reminded: "Your Majesty, add the inscription and postscript, indicating that it is written by the emperor himself."

Emperor Zhide said angrily: "Do you want me to stamp you with a jade seal?"

Lin Yun smiled sheepishly and said, "There's no need for this, who dares to pretend to be His Majesty's Royal Treasure."

"Calculate your acquaintance."

Emperor Zhide continued to swipe his pen and wrote the four characters Ning Lang Ya Cun on the signature.
