The autumn wind is not strong, and it has gradually become cooler these days.
But Uncle Chengyi's gesture of taking a look and taking a step made Xu Jian couldn't help but sweat on the back of his neck.
Lin Yunyan was thinking about Madam Wang's identity when she suddenly heard her father ask Xu Jianjian to speak alone, and she couldn't help but raise her eyes.
Is there anything she can't hear?
Could it be that the father wanted to talk about the relationship between Madam Wang and Zhu Cheng from the godfather behind her back?
It's not surprising that her father doesn't want her to listen when it comes to relationships between men and women.
Then don’t listen yet…
For the inside story related to BRIC and even Li Mi, just ask Xu Jian later.
Lin Yu didn't want Lin Yunyan to worry too much, so he added to her: "You sit and have tea. If you want to eat candied haws, tell grandma that I will talk to the Duke about some court matters."
It's as if the father is holding the child steady.
Xu Jian suddenly thought of her grandfather.
Many years ago, when he was still a four or five-year-old boy, his grandfather took him out with him. On the way, he met colleagues who had something to say, and this was how he calmed him down.
It feels very familiar and nostalgic.
Thinking about it this way, the anxiety of "taking a step to speak" has faded a lot.
Xu Jian stood up and greeted Bo Chengcheng.
Lin Yunyan stood up quickly before Lin Yun could get there: "I'll go to the front shop to find some interesting things. Father and the Duke can talk here."
After saying that, she hurried forward, lifted the curtain and entered the shop.
In front of me are tall steps.
Lin Yunyan pursed her lips.
Can she still know Xu Jian?
The number of people who can enter Xu Jian's study can be counted on one hand.
Even her father, who came to visit Duke Fuguo in the past, never went in.
Although the study here is not as good as the one in the mansion, Xu Jian's bad habits probably won't change.
In the few rooms in the backyard, as well as the residences of the shopkeeper and Aunt He, and the remaining woodshed and kitchen, where can they go to talk?
In the end, nine times out of ten, we will have to go to the private room upstairs to discuss matters.
In this case, it's better for her to make room quickly.
It's been raining a lot these days, so it's better not to bother Xu Jian's injured leg.
In the yard, Xu Jian glanced at the curtain that was swaying and falling, and sat down again.
In some situations, it is necessary to follow the good path.
After all, he didn't want to be greeted by Lin Yunyan with a "well-being" in his words.
Lin Yu, who didn't know what was going on, couldn't possibly understand, but being able to talk to Xu Jian alone, the place was not the key.
"Li Mi, the fourth son of the late emperor," Lin Yue took a deep breath, "I don't want to say it in front of Yun Yan, Duke Haihan."
Having said this, Xu Jian thought quickly and roughly guessed the reason: "Because of Dingguo Temple?"
The three words "Dingguo Temple" made Lin Yue's already serious expression become more serious, and even his voice became tighter: "Do you know the old things, Duke Fuguo?"
"I was just a child at that time," Xu Jian said. "A few years ago, my grandfather talked about what happened before the Holy Emperor ascended the throne. He only talked a little bit about it, and only scratched the surface."
Lin Yu nodded slightly and told the story of the past.
The cause of everything was in the early autumn of the 27th year of Taixing.
In the previous three years, there had been constant natural disasters, including earthquakes in the southwest, locust plagues in the Central Plains, dam collapse in two lakes, and heavy snowfall in the north. Under such attacks, the hard-working Emperor Taixing fell ill.
The third prince assisted the emperor's eldest son Li Cang in supervising the court.
Li Cang's ability and background should have been popular among the people, but unexpectedly, he was taking care of the government during the day and attending to the emperor's illness at night, and he suddenly fell ill.
The disease was so severe that it was even worse than that of Emperor Taixing, which made his ambitious younger brothers jump to their feet.
The DPRK proposed to offer incense and pray for blessings. This is both an achievement and an opportunity.
I went, asked for it, and it came true. Even if I didn’t ask for favors, I could still put filial piety first and work hard. However, Dingguo Temple is not in the capital or the imperial city, even if it is in the capital. In front of the Jinluan Palace, if something happens, the opportunity will be lost.
Therefore, several princes wanted to go, but they didn't want to go, and they were even more afraid of others going.
Finally, Li Yi, the sixth son of the emperor, recommended himself.
"It's Jinshang. Jinshang didn't want to be a big man at that time. It's better for him to pray than for other brothers. Only in this way can a balance be achieved." Lin Yu sighed and shook his head.
Li Yi went to Dingguo Temple, accompanied by the prince's concubine Xia and his only son Li Shao.
The Xia family appointed some other female relatives to accompany the female officials, including Lin Yunyan's mother Shen Yun.
After entering the temple to pray for half a month, one night Li Yi and Mr. Xia had some verbal disputes. Li Yi left his residence and went to the main hall to relax by himself. Mr. Xia asked Shen Yun to talk to him to relieve his depression.
Unexpectedly, the town under Dingguo Temple was attacked by bandits, and a citizen who escaped in a panic came to the temple to bring reinforcements.
Li Yi was in the front hall. Hearing this, how could he not ignore it?
He ordered the guards, led the troops himself, and went down the mountain to rescue with the monk soldiers.
More than half of the people in the town were killed or injured. The rescuers killed all the bandits and hurriedly rescued the injured, but a fire broke out in the temple on the mountain...
Shen Yun rescued Li Shao, and when he tried to rescue the Xia family, neither of them escaped.
"The Holy One regretted it very much. He told me several times that if he had not argued with the queen that day, he would have been stopped by the queen if he wanted to lead his troops down the mountain. If only the guards went down the mountain and he stayed in the room, when the fire broke out, he To bring out the queen and the prince instead of..."
Of course, in Lin Yu's view, this is the stubbornness of inferring the process based on the ending.
If Li Yi was inside, he might be able to save a few more people as he said, but maybe he would also be inside.
The fire was too urgent and too fast. After the monk soldiers came down from the mountain, the only ones left behind in the temple were old and weak monks. No matter how hard they tried, they were unable to do anything.
In those years, the people were in a difficult situation, and there were indeed some who went to the mountains and the sea to become bandits. However, the Gyeonggi area was still relatively peaceful, but there were bandits who attacked the town.
After the incident, Li Yi certainly had doubts about this, but he had no clues or evidence, so he could only give it up for the time being.
Until half a year later, in the first month of the 28th year of Taixing.
An unknown informant clue came into Li Yi's hands.
The bandits were fake, they were actually dead soldiers, and the purpose of massacring the town was to frighten the government and the public and make the whole government start to clear up the victims.
Clearing the money is a merit. In order to grab the credit, there are no bandits and the hungry people make up the number.
And among the settlements that lasted for half a year, the ones who made the most profits seemed to be the lineage of the emperor's eldest son, Li Cang.
Although Li Yi was angry, he was not fooled.
Li Cang already had the advantage, but because of his poor health, he was held back by his other brothers. There was no need for him to do such a thing.
Therefore, when the third son of the emperor challenged Li Cang for this, Li Yi supported Li Cang.
The vicious and heart-breaking crime completely overwhelmed Li Cang's body, and he finally walked ahead of his father, Emperor Taixing.
Emperor Taixing was grieved and imprisoned the three sons who had stirred up trouble in Yongji Palace. The fourth son, Li Mi, who had the most credit, was demoted to a commoner and expelled from the capital. Before his death, he listened to the opinions of his ministers and Queen Shen. , passed the throne to Li Yi.
Li Yi ascended the throne and changed the Yuan Dynasty to Yongjia. He named his aunt Shen as the empress dowager, and named Xia as the queen. He made Li Shao, who was only six years old, the prince. He carried him with him in daily life, and made Lin Yunyan the princess...
"Who assigned the fake bandits to attack the town? There has been no conclusion on this matter. Some said it was the one from Yongji Palace, and some said it was Li Mi." Lin Yu calmed down, "Dingguo Temple is in trouble. It was an accident, not intentional.
This past incident is not too taboo to be told, but I don’t want Yun Yan to hear it.
She was too young to follow her mother to Dingguo Temple, but maybe mother and daughter were connected, and she had a nightmare when she was young..."
Lin Yun paused suddenly.
Xu Jian remained silent, listening carefully to what he said about these old things. Lin Yu opened the conversation, but did not stop it all. The last few sentences were only related to Yun Yan and had nothing to do with Li Mi. He should not talk to Duke Fu.
Talk too much, talk too much...
