The old woman didn't know what kind of official Lin Yi was in the capital.
But when she saw Lin Yi, she thought of that person who always said, "Children are foolish and loyal, but foolish people are loyal to the emperor and love the people.", "Your Majesty allows me to serve as county magistrate, and I will be responsible for the people of this county." What's there to be afraid of? Even if the child dies, it will be to fulfill the great ambition of establishing his life. The child deserves to die! 'These words were on the lips of my son.
Tears flowed silently.
Silly son!
Mom also saw a person today who cares about the people just like you. You are not alone!
Boom!
The old woman silently took the drumstick from Lin Yi's hand and started beating hard.
"My child, my mother is a woman and I don't understand your feelings about your family and country, but I hope you can live well!"
"Mom is old, and I can no longer do anything for you, but you are my mother's heart. You are suffering. My heart hurts!"
The old woman choked and sobbed, tears streaming down her face, but the drumstick in her hand became more powerful.
Lin Yi felt Wen's heart tremble slightly, and every blow from the old woman seemed to hit his heart.
Stinging slightly.
The imperial drum represents injustice.
He carries the national destiny of Dayan. The people of Li are the source of the national destiny. The people suffer injustice and the national destiny declines.
Dong Dong~
The dull drum beat sounded and spread outward. It was not very powerful, but the sound was like thunder.
From the main gate of the palace, the news spread throughout all the yamen of the imperial city.
It also spread to the imperial study room in the palace.
…
Lin Yunhong was reviewing the memorial, looking a little tired.
Now that winter is approaching, snow has begun to fall in many state capitals, and disasters of varying sizes have occurred in various places.
Although the prefects from various places brought calligraphy treasures to reinforce the disaster, the disaster prevented it, and the people's post-disaster reconstruction was the top priority.
It’s just that in recent years, wars in the north have become more frequent, and incidents of monster infestations from the Humane Sect have occurred frequently in various places, and the money in the treasury has been like running water.
Lin Yunhong couldn't help but have a headache.
The money that scholars possess is estimated to be as rich as the country, but it is extremely difficult to get them to spend their money.
In addition to the protection of the Holy Court, what excuse can the court use to attack?
The people of Dayan are not the people of scholars, but the people of his Lin family. Why should the scholars of the Holy Court rescue them?
Boom~
But at this moment, Lin Yunhong seemed to hear something, and his Sacred Heart trembled slightly.
"Mei Zheren, listen..."
Lin Yunhong put down his pen and listened carefully.
Dong Dong~
The drum beat became more and more intense, and the Sacred Heart vibrated faster and faster. Lin Yunhong then stood up suddenly.
He heard it!
It’s the Imperial Drum!
The royal drum is ringing!
"Mei Zheren, clothes, hurry up..."
Lin Yunhong's expression was solemn, with a hint of murderous intent in his eyes, and a hint of excitement at the same time.
The imperial drum finally sounded.
Someone filed a complaint.
Mei Zheren quickly picked up the dragon robe and imperial crown and put them on Lin Yunhong, his hands and feet sweating in a hurry.
at the same time.
In Renjing Palace.
The sixth prince, Lin Cong, was reading at the knees of his mother, Concubine Hui, shaking his head. As the imperial drum played, his eyes widened.
Concubine Hui Zhou was also shocked.
Then she thought of something and said, "Cong'er, go to the main entrance of the palace quickly. This is a good opportunity for you to show off in front of your father!"
"Your father hopes that the future prince will love the people as his own son. This drum represents the grievances of the people. If you show that you care about the people, your father will definitely look at you with admiration!"
"Crown Prince?"
Lin Cong quickly put down his pen, with a strange light in his eyes, and said: "Mom, I'm going to go, Ping'er, to change my clothes..."
Concubine Hui Zhou interrupted: "What clothes are you going to change? Ping'er, mess up His Highness's clothes and shake some ink to make His Highness feel nervous and worried."
"yes!"
…
at the same time.
After hearing the sound of drums, various government offices in the dynasty also started talking about it, and at the same time sent officials to inquire about the specific matters.
Shen Ping, a bachelor of the Hanlin Academy, was sorting out the records of Jintian Prefecture officials when he suddenly heard the sound of the imperial drum and was so frightened that the records fell to the floor.
"Did it ring? Did it really ring? This old woman is also a strange person. She was able to walk to the main entrance of the Imperial City Palace!"
Shen Ping couldn't help but marvel, and then whispered: "I'm afraid there will be an earthquake in the officialdom of Jintian Mansion, and then my disciples will be able to take over as substitutes...a good thing!"
…
Under the main entrance of the palace.
Lin Yi watched the old woman beating the imperial drum again and again, and felt a little anxious. It was time for his father to come out.
Boom!
Just when Lin Yi finished his thoughts, the palace door opened.
Wow~
Ta da~
The palace guards and imperial guards quickly poured out of the palace gate and quickly protected the old woman who was beating the imperial drum and... Lin Yi.
With the lessons learned from the last time guarding the city, the officers and soldiers knew exactly what to do at this time.
Dayan Emperor Lin Yunhong, wearing a bright yellow dragon robe and a Yishan crown, also walked out of the palace gate quickly under the protection of the imperial guards and internal guards.
Lin Yunhong's expression was solemn, and his eyes fell in the direction of the emperor's drum. The moment he saw Lin Yi, he was surprised and asked: "Emperor?"
Was it the emperor who knocked it?
What is he doing?
But when he saw the ragged old woman next to Lin Yi, he knew it wasn't Lin Yi.
But there are real people beating the royal drum.
"Your Majesty is here!"
As Mei Zheren's duck-like voice sounded, the city gate guards quickly knelt on the ground.
When the old woman heard this sound, it seemed like the sound of nature to her. The drumstick fell to the ground in her hand, and all her strength seemed to be exhausted.
Thump!
She did not dare to look directly at the emperor's face, so she knelt down and kowtowed, saying with tears in her eyes: "Huang Youhua, a commoner woman, kowtows to your majesty, long live your majesty!"
The old woman's body trembled, as if grasping a life-saving straw, and she choked with sobs: "The women and children are unjust!"
"Father!"
Lin Yi bowed to Lin Yunhong and said.
After the old woman heard Lin Yi's words, her body shook violently, and her heart was shocked beyond measure.
Unexpectedly, the young man who helped her along the way and encouraged her to beat the imperial drum was actually His Highness the Prince.
That is to say.
The Dayan royal family always has their common people at heart.
How miserable it was for her to be born in this Dayan where demons and monsters were rampant.
But Dayan also has His Majesty and the Prince who care about the people, so how lucky is she!
"Old man!"
Lin Yunhong nodded slightly towards Lin Yi, ordered Mei Zheren to help the old woman up, and said seriously: "I set up the Imperial Drum to provide a channel for people to redress their grievances. If you really have grievances, tell me truthfully later. I will definitely avenge you, and if you deceive me, I will show no mercy!"
After saying these words.
Lin Yunhong said to Mei Zheren: "Take the old lady into the palace, prepare some food and clothes, and then take her to the imperial study to see me!"
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
Mei Zheren supported the old woman and said softly: "Follow us into the palace!"
"Thank you, father-in-law."
The old woman's body was already extremely weak, and now her spirit was so relaxed that even standing was almost a problem.
Mei Zheren brought the old woman into the palace.
Lin Yunhong looked at Lin Yidao: "Come home with me and tell us why you are next to the Royal Drum..."
"Yes, Father!"
Lin Yi had long been prepared to report the matter to Lin Yunhong, and followed Lin Yunhong into the palace.
