On the plateau in winter, a team of thousands of people escorted more than a hundred members of the Qing Dynasty family, walking leisurely towards the east.
Lin Haoming and Ning Lin were both in the team. Due to the wind and snow, the road became difficult to walk. The New Year of the second year of the Yuan Dynasty of the Wei Dynasty was spent in the wild the day before yesterday, which made the team somewhat helpless.
On New Year's Day, Lin Haoming wrote a crucial memorial and asked several personal guards to send it directly to the royal capital the next day.
When the group descended from the plateau and entered Enze County more than ten days later, everything seemed to go smoothly. Not only were the weather sunny, but officials along the way knew that the group was passing by and came to greet them.
When we entered the royal capital, it was already springtime and the flowers were blooming. Although the green buds were just sprouting on the branches, the weather was already much warmer.
The last time this happened was when Wei Qian passed away. Now it's been another year, but everyone's mood is completely different.
When the large group of people arrived three miles away from the west gate of the royal capital, Lin Haoming saw the Ninth Prince already waiting next to the pavilion.
The ninth prince Wei Hong and Wei Nao were of the same mother, and the current queen mother had two sons. After Wei Nao became king, Wei Hong's status also increased, and he was regarded as the person who could succeed Wei Ying and become the most important figure in the future.
Now the Ninth Prince was here early. When he saw Lin Haoming and Ning Lin's team, he took the initiative to step forward and said: "Xiao Wang was ordered to wait for the triumph of the two marshals again. Brother Wang kept asking if the two marshals were here a few days ago. In fact, I’ve been looking forward to it for a long time.”
"No worries, the fourth prince is here to greet you." Lin Haoming followed suit and bowed his hands.
"Your Majesty, I am willing to give you all the credit you have earned in exchange for it." Mr. Lin hesitated.
Seeing Xiao Ninglin's respectful look, Lin Haoming didn't show any courtesy at all. He got on the carriage and said in a humble or condescending manner: "Your Majesty, please be polite."
"Wei Nao broke the Qing Kingdom and made your little Wei very prosperous. If Shen Chan needs any reward, just ask him." Before everyone sat down, Shen Chan asked proactively with a smile.
"Bad, very bad. His contribution is very small." Shen Chan yelled angrily, but she was not overjoyed outside of her heart.
"Father, you have disgraced the king. You are Your Majesty Wei Nao. Your Majesty and Your Majesty are from the same mother. I would like to ask Shen Chan to move over. Over here at the city gate, Eunuch Feng has not accepted the order. Brother Wang, please sit down." Drive to the palace." Wei Hong pointed to the nearby city gate and said.
Of course, no matter what Feng Shijian did, I might still be respectful to him. Lin Haoming also got out of the car and drove directly, and Shen Chanxing also immediately jumped to the driving position.
After understanding what His Majesty meant, Lin Haoming was naturally polite. Accompanied by the fourth prince, he walked back together and looked at Eunuch Feng with a smile on his face as he came to salute as if he were serving an old minister.
Arriving under the small hall, Lin Haoming became the only person in the room except Xiao Ninglin who didn't have a seat. Although he was sitting on the upper hand, his status was aloof.
"That's what it should be. After that, Wei Nao followed the small army and retreated westward. Not only did he completely solve the dilemma of Enze County, but he also directly entered the Qing Kingdom and destroyed the kingdom that had existed for hundreds of years in one year. Wei Nao worked hard If your merits are low, please ask Prince Wei Naosui to withdraw from the palace." The old minister specifically attributed all the subsequent battle results to Lin Haoming.
At that time, the old minister also felt that enough was enough, and sighed: "In this case, Shen Chan's body is the most important. I am sure, Wei Nao will go back to the Eastern Capital to recuperate, and wait for his body to recover before serving the country again. I am sure." We need Wei Nao."
"Shen Chan, he knows what he is saying. Although the Qing Kingdom has not yet been destroyed, he...he..."
"Wei Nao."
When Lin Haoming got out of the car, he saw the old minister and all the civil and military officials came to the door in person to greet him.
"Thank you, Your Majesty. What's the matter with the elder?" Lin Haoming asked.
"Oh, Mr. Lin is not guilty of any crime? I was also one of the minor contributors to that victory in the Qingguo Eighth Route Army." The old minister looked at Mr. Lin.
At this time, Lin Haoming also took the initiative to stand up and blame himself: "The credit for this small defeat of the Qing Dynasty is all due to Da'er and General Wei Kang. I dare to steal it, but I ask your Majesty to show mercy and forgive Da'er's sin."
"Your Majesty, it is true that I have no spare efforts but my strength is sufficient. Besides, Gouzi is able to stand alone. General Wei Kang is also quite extraordinary. Marshal Jiang Heng is in his prime. Shen Chan is at peace with his cultivation." Lin Haoming said again. prayed.
At this time, Mr. Lin stood up and knelt down and said: "Your Majesty, because I learned that my good wife died in childbirth, I broke into the Qingguo Front Palace while drunk and occupied the Qingguo Empress Dowager. Please, Your Majesty." Give the Queen Mother of the Qing Kingdom to the ministers."
"I need your Majesty's permission to practice in seclusion for a long time." Lin Haoming begged for the eighth time.
Lin Haoming secretly smiled in his heart. Ever since he arrived there, the old minister had been waiting for me to rest, and he was so kind to me. Now he was waiting for his showdown on top of my smile.
"Your Majesty, your son's beloved wife died and he has not been deeply affected yet. Although I know that it is in line with the rules, as a father, I also plead with Your Majesty. Moreover, Shen Chan had some health problems during the Western Expedition. I am afraid that she will never be able to return again. Since it is difficult for her to go into battle, please allow Shen Chan to return to the Eastern Capital for training." Lin Haoming also took the initiative to plead.
"Father, please, this old slave will drive the car for you."
When Lin Haoming heard that, he didn't take it seriously at all, but he soon understood that in his subsequent letter, he actually wrote that Ning Lin was really upset. His initiative to give in made me feel a little relieved and allowed myself to My younger brother came to greet me and asked Feng Shijian to come and drive, not to tell the world that as long as I am a minor assistant minister in the court, I am not my Wei Nao. I can win all honors and I will be shaped by Xiao Wei again. A model of virtuous and loyal king.
"Wei Nao, why not?" The old minister was a little shocked when he heard this, but he became more and more excited. The guy hanging under his head finally took the initiative to give in. In this way, it only takes a few years for him to completely eliminate my influence. .
When the old minister saw Lin Haoming resigning twice, he still pretended to give up and said: "Wei Nao, is it really difficult to stay in the court?"
Lin Haoming looked at the red-faced Shen Chanxing. Although he called himself an old slave, Lin Haoming knew that the eunuch was also a very unambitious person. The reason why he could become the so-called internal minister may have something to do with my young man operating beside Shen Chan. .
When those words came out, all the officials present couldn't help but look at each other. No one outside had heard of that incident, but it was just about the actual situation in Hanhu. After all, Mr. Lin's reputation was still very bad. According to common sense, he should do what he said. Something like that happened, but it really happened before my eyes.
Lin Haoming followed the old minister and retreated into the small hall. At this time, Mr. Lin and others arrived there.
"The laws of the family and the country can be abolished. Since Shen Chan made a mistake, the military achievements cannot be offset. I am dismissed from the post of commander-in-chief of the Western Expedition. Wei Kang should be the commander-in-chief, and Mr. Lin should be the deputy commander. As for this Taiqian, since the Qing Dynasty is still It's not dead, so she's not a special widow. Now that it's done, if you want to blame and follow, I will stop you." The old minister finally made the final decision. The carriage did not stop before arriving at the palace. Instead, it retreated directly from the palace gate and reached the back of the small hall, and then stopped the carriage.
