"You know?" Lin Dongyang sneered, "I see you know a lot. What is the poem you copied for me? Is it because you are afraid that your father will not die, so you complain so much? And why did you mention this word in your letter? Is it because you were afraid that the Jinyiwei people wouldn’t see it?”
"Uh... Brother Xiao asked me to write the reply to my father," Lin Qi said.
"The lyrics are a bit un-Chinese, but Lin Qi is young after all, so it's okay to say arrogant words. If it's secretive, it's not good. It's better to be more generous and show that we have no evil intentions." Xiao Chen He said, "It will reach the emperor's ears sooner or later, so why be cautious?"
"That's all I am here now. If I were outside, I would beat you to death with a big stick!" Lin Dongyang was still angry, "It doesn't matter if you talk nonsense like this and hurt us, but if it involves Xiao Chen Hewangye, can you forgive such a sin even if you escape death?"
"Yes, that is what my father taught me." Lin Qi said, "My son can just go back and get a hundred big sticks by himself."
"You are trying to control your anger with me!" Lin Dongyang became even more angry, "Now that you have been hit with a big stick, how can you show up to others? If the prince and Xiao Chen have any orders, how can you still serve them? If you are lucky enough to have someone in your credit book, Your name, why don’t you let someone carry it to express gratitude?”
"My son doesn't dare!" Lin Qi said hurriedly.
"Sounds like this, it's all your fault. What Master Dongyang taught you is the right thing. At such a young age, do you think you should be arrogant if you have some merit? Do you think I've achieved so much merit?" Xiao Chen said.
One sentence made both Lin Dongyang and Lin Qi laugh.
"Are you still laughing? It's obvious that you owe Mr. Dongyang a lesson!" Xiao Chen waved his hand, "Go out and wait outside. Mr. Dongyang will be angry when he sees you!"
"Yes!" Lin Qi hurried out.
"What a disgrace!" Lin Qi had already gone out, and Lin Dongyang was still scolding him behind his back, but he couldn't hide the relief and smile on his face.
"If Dongyang has a son, even Duan Fengnian is extremely envious." Xiao Chen said, "Before, it was the father who respected the son, but in the future, it will probably be the son who respects the father."
"Xiao Chen, what you said is too much." Lin Dongyang said with a smile, "I am also a second-grade governor, how can he, a yellow-haired boy, compare to me?"
"Hehe, that's hard to say." Xiao Chen said, "He has become famous in one battle. He has a good reputation in the army. Prince Xuanping also favors him very much and wants to cultivate him."
"Xiao Chen, let's close the door and talk. Why does the emperor really intend to declare King Ping?" Lin Dongyang lowered his voice.
"Now I don't care who the emperor is interested in. Anyway, I support him. Regardless of success or failure, we have to go all the way to the end." Xiao Chen said.
"Li Shi is ruthless and Li Feng is unrighteous. Maybe this young prince is better." Lin Dongyang said, "It's a pity that I am in this situation now, otherwise I would definitely help you!"
Lin Dongyang was extremely disappointed with Li Shi. He had been in prison for so long, and Li Shi had never sent anyone to see him. Of course, it might be to avoid suspicion, but even if he sent someone to say hello to Jin Yiwei, he didn't. .
It was expected that Lin Dongyang was useless and useless, so he just treated him as an abandoned son and threw him aside without paying any attention to him.
It's really chilling.
"Isn't there still Lin Qi?" Xiao Chen said, "He is just a graduate now, and his background is not easy to protect. Even if he is forced to protect it, it will affect his future in the future. I still want him to participate in Jinke If you can take the exam, you can become a Jinshi at least, but this kid is very stubborn and refuses to say anything, but you, Mr. Dongyang, have to force him."
"Sigh...Actually, I don't want him to get ahead. Look, I have reached the position of governor, and what will happen to me now? I might as well follow you, at least I can guarantee my peace and wealth." Lin Dongyang said.
"If Lin Qi was a mediocre person, that would be fine. But he is a dragon and a phoenix among men. He is destined to soar into the sky. I can't let him succumb to my wings. A pearl rises to dust and a dragon's writings are in vain. It's a pity. Talent is actually unfair to him." Xiao Chen said.
"Hmm..." Lin Dongyang muttered to himself.
"This boy is not only knowledgeable, but also responsible. You probably don't know that he rescued Duan Fengnian's youngest son," Xiao Chen said.
"Ah?" Lin Dongyang was startled, "This bastard! He, he, he, what does he want to do?"
"It doesn't matter what he wanted to do, what's important is that he accomplished it." Xiao Chen said, "For this boldness, I'm afraid it's better than you, Lord Dongyang, if I'm honest."
"Hmph, I see this is all taught by your kid!" Lin Dongyang said, "He was not so reckless before. Since he followed you, his wings have become stronger, his spirit has become higher, and his courage has become bolder! No way. , you can’t let him follow you anymore, just let him take part in the examination, and he may be more restrained when he stays in the court in the future."
"Haha, you, Mr. Dongyang, have just figured it out now, so it's not too late." Xiao Chen said with a smile.
"Who will clean up this mess in Langya County in the future?" Lin Dongyang asked casually.
"I don't know yet. The emperor has never appointed anyone. It is probably because he was bitten by a snake once and has been afraid of straw ropes for ten years. Duan Fengnian's troubles made everyone feel uneasy. No one dared to come forward to recommend anyone. They were all afraid of something happening in the future. I have been implicated." Xiao Chen said, "Mr. Dongyang, who do you think is suitable?"
"It's better to find someone who is capable, decisive and tough." Lin Dongyang frowned and thought seriously.
"It's a pity that Chen Jisheng is in your Yanyun County and Xu Haiming is in Yizhou. Otherwise, the two of them are really suitable. In fact, Lin Wenbai, the prefect of Anyang, is also quite capable, but he is just a prefect. Suddenly he is in a high position. I am afraid that everyone in Langya will not accept it, but if either one The governor is not a bad idea, or Li Hong can be..."
"These are really suitable candidates. I have also met Lin Wenbai. He is very mature and prudent. He resigned after you were jailed. He should still be in Fengyang City now, right?" Xiao Chen said.
"Yes, he came to see me some time ago, but I didn't see him either. He has already been implicated, so don't cause any other trouble." Lin Dongyang sighed, "I also deliberately cultivated him at the beginning. He just thought about how much work he would do for me if I let him serve as a sentencing prosecutor or counselor in the future? But unexpectedly, it ended up harming him."
"There are ups and downs in the officialdom. How can there be any definite answer?" Xiao Chen said.
"Yes, in the court you are with the emperor like a tiger, but outside you are walking on thin ice. If you are not careful, you will be shattered into pieces and plunge into the abyss!" Lin Dongyang said, "I know you won't want him, otherwise if he goes to Yanyun If you do, you will be able to take full advantage of your talents like a fish in water.”
"His whereabouts have not yet been decided. The Ministry of Civil Affairs approved his resignation from Anyang Magistrate, but did not allow him to return to his hometown as an official. Now he is still holding the rank of fourth grade and is staying in the capital to wait for election. He is probably reluctant to let go of his talent. It may be used for other purposes in the future." Xiao Chen said.
"If it's convenient, you should take more care of him, just for my sake, brother." Lin Dongyang said.
