The breeze blows on the hills and the bright moon shines on the river.
On the canal, a U-Peng boat sailed slowly south.
Li Xuan sat on the bow of the boat, holding a celadon teacup in her hand, looking at the sparkling waves of the river in the distance, and sighed: "Under the bright moon, there is a unique charm to a lonely boat."
Placing the celadon tea cup on the small table beside him, Li Xuan turned his head and looked at Lu Lin, who was kneeling on one side and wearing a blue robe.
At this moment, Lu Lin lowered his head deeply and leaned on the ground, looking respectful and fearful.
Li Xuan raised his head and looked to one side. Qiu Zhenmu immediately stepped forward, holding a dossier in his hand, and said directly: "Lü Lin, named Dongyuan, was born in Fuli, Huaibei. He was twenty-six years old and served as a delinquent under the command of Cao Cao, the governor of Yangzhou. He joined Caobang in the second month of the first year of the Yuan Dynasty and served as a counselor and advisor to He Chang, the head of the Caobang General Affairs Hall. In June of the second year of the Yuan Dynasty, He Chang was arrested and Lu Lin returned to the system.
Every time Qiu Zhenmu read a word, Lu Lin couldn't help but tremble all over his body. It wasn't until he finished reading that Lu Lin stopped trembling and lowered himself to the ground, not daring to say a word.
"Shenzhuang Hu Cao joined the army, and you were a bad person under Fa Cao's army. Now you are taking orders from Shen Zhuang. Why, Fa Cao's joining the army can't promote you to a bad commander? How come I heard that Fa Cao has promoted you to a bad commander? Are you handsome?" Li Xuan looked at Lu Lin and asked with a half-smile, "Or can the Shen family give you a better future?"
Lu Lin's body twitched twice, and then he raised his head, with a hint of difficulty on his flattering face: "Your Majesty, you are a man in heaven, you don't know how difficult life is for lowly people like us... Most of us bad guys will become bad guys in one day. If you are a bad person all your life, your descendants will always be bad people. You will not have an official career, you will not be able to pass the imperial examination, and even if you make great achievements, you will be nothing more than a bad commander."
"Why, the bad handsome man mentioned by Shen Zhuang is not the same thing as the bad handsome man mentioned by Fa Cao?"
"What Shen Shenjun said about bad commanders is that a low-ranking official can be promoted to a position outside the officialdom. Once he has passed three transfers, he can become an official within the officialdom. His household registration can be changed, and his children and grandchildren can become good men." Lu Lin bowed deeply once again.
All he cares about is the future of his descendants. In this way, he can risk everything.
Once a bad person loses his Yong Ye Tian, he becomes a bad person. If his household registration is changed, he will never have the chance to change it back.
Even if they become successful and prosperous later, the government will not change it back easily.
Because there are so few permanent fields in the world, even the sons of good families find them insufficient, and there is no room for bad people.
Only by becoming an official, and becoming a Liu Nei official, can you change your household registration and become a good person again.
It is only possible to become a good man, become a general and become a prime minister, achieve success and fame, and bring glory to one's ancestors.
As Shen Zhuang joined the army as a Hucao, such a thing was naturally on his mind.
If a bad person wants to pass the third round of selection and become an official in the stream, it is more difficult than imagined, but there is always a chance.
"As you can see, the road to Shen Zhuang is impassable. In fact, if Shen Yuqing hadn't appeared in time, you would have killed him long ago." A slight smile appeared on Li Xuan's lips.
Li Xuan's last twist made Lu Lin's expression change.
In fact, it was indeed the case. Shen Yuqing showed up a little early.
If he had taken one step at night, Lu Lin would have immediately killed Shen Zhuang.
"Although the lower official's cultivation is not as good as Shen Canjun, killing someone is another matter." Lu Lin lowered his head again, his voice was soft but firm. Chinese website
Killing is the greatest value he can show to Li Xuan.
"Yes, killing is another matter!" Li Xuan nodded in agreement, and then said: "Although your method was not seen by Shen Yuqing by luck, it won't be long before Shen Zhuang will still attack you, completely. Cut the grass and root it out."
Under the moonlight, Lu Lin felt a chill. He reluctantly raised his hands to Li Xuan and said, "Yes, I know too much."
In the entire Yangzhou, no one would want him to live just because of this.
"No, you are wrong. I know what you know, Bai Qisi knows, and His Majesty Dou Changshi will also know. The reason why Shen Zhuang wants to kill you is not because of this, but because he suspects that you saw it. His ugliness." The corner of Li Xuan's mouth showed
There was a hint of coldness.
In this world, there are a lot of bastards who immediately kill them all if they have the slightest suspicion in their hearts.
What's more, Lu Lin knew too much.
"I beg you, Your Majesty, to save your life. I am willing to go through fire and water for Your Majesty, no matter what." Lu Lin deeply bowed to the ground again.
He knew that even if it was just the latter reason, as long as the Shen family wanted to kill him, there would be no place for him to survive in Yangzhou.
Only Li Xuan, Li Xuan is the only person who can save him.
Li Xuan looked at Lu Lin with a half-smile, and said softly: "You understand, since I let you get on this ship, it means that you have this value, the value of surviving."
"Yes." Lu Lin bowed his head sincerely.
"I give you two choices." Li Xuan turned his head, looked at the front of the canal, and whispered: "First, you go south with me, Wuzhou is difficult, and I need manpower; second, you can tell "Others, you want to go south with me, but secretly, you stay in Yangzhou and help me keep an eye on the Shen family's every move."
Lu Lin raised his brows, his face immediately became solemn, he looked at Li Xuan and cupped his hands and said, "I wonder what your lord wants me to do?"
"Well!" Li Xuan smiled softly and said, "You also know what the situation is in Wuzhou. When I go south with my king, you will naturally use your expertise to go deep into the mountains and forests to spy on intelligence. If you are not careful, you may be You will fall into a dangerous trap, life and death are unpredictable; stay in Yangzhou and do what you are best at. I need to know every move of Shen Zhuang. You are also at risk of being exposed. In that case, the Shen family will have to kill you. , at that time, I was far away in Wuzhou, trying to save you but couldn't. You have to consider your own risks."
Lu Lin lowered his head and thought carefully.
"If you go south with me, you will have a position among the palace officials in the future; if you choose to stay in Yangzhou, then after the matter is over, I will recommend you to join Baiqisi. As for whether Baiqisi can I don’t know the details of making you a good candidate. It’s all secret, and you have to figure it out yourself.” Li Xuan’s face calmed down.
He turned his head and looked at the moonlit water, not looking at Lu Lin at all, as if he had other ideas of his own.
"I...are willing to stay in Yangzhou!" Lu Lin gave the answer after hesitating for a moment.
He fell to the ground in deep admiration, a little afraid to see the disappointment in Li Xuan's eyes.
"That's very good." Li Xuan smiled unexpectedly, stood up, walked to Lu Lin's side, patted his shoulder and said, "Don't think too much, it doesn't matter whether you go south or stay in Yangzhou. It is equally important to me... But if you want to do it, you must do it well and do not frame anyone, but do not let go of any evidence."
Lu Lin raised his head and looked at Li Xuan with some surprise, but he quickly raised his hands and said, "Here!"
Li Xuan took out a token and threw it over, and Lu Lin quickly took it.
Just listen to Li Xuan continue to say: "This is the token of the Nanchang Palace. When you are in danger, you can take it out, or you can go to the Dudu Palace for help after an emergency. As for whether the Dudu Palace will help, it depends on your ability. Well, as for the funds for your activities, you should first use the bad money in the secret room of the Caobang Courtyard, and whatever is left over will be given to Baiqisi."
Lu Lin's face couldn't help but change when he heard Li Xuan mentioning the bad money in the secret room of Caobang Courtyard. But when Li Xuan finished speaking, he breathed a long sigh of relief and bowed: "Here!"
"Get a canoe from the back and go back by yourself. I will go to Runzhou early tomorrow morning. You can figure out how to cover yourself up." Li Xuan waved her hand casually.
Lu Lin immediately bowed and said sincerely: "Thank you, Your Majesty!"
After speaking, Lu Lin turned around, and a moment later, a canoe appeared in the river, heading back to Yangzhou.
"Such a person cannot be trusted!" Qiu Zhenmu walked to the side of the boat, looked at Lu Lin's leaving figure, then turned to look at Li Xuan: "Your Majesty, why do you want to help him?"
"Because we need someone to help us keep an eye on Yangzhou. Although the Wuzhou rebellion happened in the land of Wuyue, but if you want to understand, Genjie is still in Yangzhou. You don't think that the matter in Yangzhou is over."
Li Xuan looked at Lu Lin who was going away on the lonely boat.
, whispered: "If he really wants to follow us south to Wuzhou, it will be troublesome. After all, no one knows whether he is a spy sent by any party. His willingness to stay in Yangzhou has ruled out this possibility. We are here Yangzhou doesn’t have many manpower, so just focus on the key points and leave the rest to him.”
"In this way, the relationship between him and the palace is just mutual use." Qiu Zhenmu looked at Li Xuan, cupped his hands and said, "The prince behaves in a grand manner, and his subordinates admire him."
"It doesn't have to be like this." Li Xuan waved his hand, looked at the figure gradually disappearing from sight, and said in a deep voice: "His own foundation is in Yangzhou, and only in Yangzhou can his abilities be maximized. As for whether he can finally Join Baiqisi, it depends on how much contribution he can make, how much he pays, how much he will get. As for the trip to Wuzhou... One more person is not more, one less him is not much, there is not much value, staying in Yangzhou is just right .”
Looking at the sparkling river, Li Xuan's eyes narrowed slightly.
How could he just let Yangzhou go?
This is where Xu Jingye will raise his troops in the future, how could he let it go!
