Lin Qing walked in with the chief eunuch, while thinking in his heart how he should answer in case the saint asked about something.
But after thinking about it for a while, Lin Qing gave up, because Lin Qing found that he couldn't think of what questions the Holy Majesty would ask him when he suddenly announced him, even though he had taught King Tan for more than ten years and had met the Holy Majesty many times. , but every time we meet, he is always watching behind King Tan, the Holy Majesty has almost never spoken to him, the only time was more than ten years ago, when King Tan recited poems for the first time, the Holy Majesty was happy for a while, He was given a set of Four Books and Five Classics. Other than that, he never spoke to the Holy One alone again.
Since he couldn't figure it out, Lin Qing simply didn't want to think about it, and planned to wait until later to show it on the spot. Although he was about to meet an emperor who had the power of life and death, he was now a third-rank official, even if his answer was somewhat inconsistent with the Holy Majesty. Presumably the Holy Majesty would not kill him just because of one word, at most he just disliked him.
Thinking of this, Lin Qing immediately relaxed a lot, and quickly followed the eunuch in front, planning to meet the most powerful parent since he became a teacher later!
Lin Qing followed the chief eunuch to the outside of the main hall, and the chief eunuch said: "Wait here first, our family will go in first, and when I hear you, my lord will enter again."
Lin Qing hurriedly responded, touched a purse in his sleeve, stuffed it into the hand of the eunuch while the people next to him were not paying attention, and said with a smile: "I was so shocked just now, I almost forgot, I will give this to my father-in-law to drink tea with." , I hope you don¡¯t feel disgusted.¡±
The great eunuch touched the purse with his hands, and his face immediately looked better. Although as a great eunuch, he has filial piety every day, which is not lacking, but in the cold weather, he can't let him go from the main hall to the gate of the palace. Take a trip, right?
The eunuch thought that Lin Qing was originally the tutor of the king of Tan, and now he is the prince Zhan Shi, and he must also be the prince's confidant. He wanted to sell it well, so he smiled and said: "Your Majesty is in a good mood today, and Lord Zhan Shi will enter the audience later. .¡±
After hearing this, Lin Qing hurriedly thanked her and said, "Thank you, father-in-law, for your suggestion."
After the eunuch finished speaking, he flicked his whisk and entered the notification.
Lin Qing waited outside for a while, then the chief eunuch came out, stood at the entrance of the main hall and shouted loudly: "Xuan, Prince Zhan Shi, Lin Qing, enter the hall to have an audience."
Lin Qing straightened her clothes in a hurry, then took a deep breath, collected herself, and walked up the steps.
After entering the main hall, Lin Qing didn't dare to raise his head, and bowed directly, then knelt on the ground, waiting for the Holy Majesty to speak.
The Holy Majesty just finished processing a copy, but he didn't let him go, and said directly: "Let's knock it off!"
Lin Qing hurriedly said: "Thank you, Your Majesty!" Then he got up quickly and stood respectfully in the hall.
The Holy Majesty took a look at Lin Qing, as if he was a little surprised that he was so young, and asked: "When was Aiqing a Jinshi? How old is this year?"
Lin Qingxin said, I have been teaching your son for twelve years. Back then, when King Tan was not in charge, I followed your son for ten years. This is the first time you have watched him Me?
However, Lin Qing cheered up and said respectfully: "I am a Jinshi in the seventeenth year of Guiyuan. This year there are six out of thirty."
"You are young," the Holy One sighed, and asked, "I heard that you recommended yourself to be the Taifu of King Tan?"
Lin Qing said: "Yes, indeed!"
"You were only in your early twenties when you were a Jinshi. I heard that you were a good scholar back then. Why did you suddenly think of recommending yourself to be a Taifu in Prince Tan's Mansion?" asked the Holy One suddenly.
Lin Qing's heart tightened when she heard this, and she knew that this was probably what the Holy Majesty wanted to ask today. After all, a good man, very young, with a bright future, but recommended himself to be with a prince who had no hope at all, even ordinary people, I'm afraid I will doubt it, let alone the emperor who is in conspiracy every day.
Lin Qing thought for a while, and felt that it was better to tell the truth. Anyway, he couldn't think of any other reasons for the past, so he said: "Although I entered the Hanlin at a young age, all the seniors of the Hanlin, I also care about my ministers, but my talents are dull and lazy by nature, and I am not very suitable for official career. I feel ashamed in my heart. I once wanted to resign, but I felt ashamed of studying hard for ten years. So when I heard Hanlin When the court selected Prince Tan as the Taifu, he recommended himself, on the one hand, he hoped that what he had learned could be useful, and on the other hand, he also felt that the land of King Tan was very close to the minister¡¯s hometown, so it would be convenient for him to go back and serve his parents.¡±
When the Holy Majesty heard this, the corner of his mouth twitched, because you are not suitable for officialdom, so you ran to teach my son, although it should be the truth, why are you a little upset?
At this time, the Holy Majesty also saw who the sincerity in his son came from.Said, it must be affected by this one in front of me!
Fortunately, sincerity is always better than bad intentions. At least my son has not been taught to be crooked, and the Holy One is too lazy to care about it, but I still plan to go back and mention my son. It is true to be honest, but you can be a prince. The emperor's mind is still Gotta pick it up.
"What have you taught the prince all these years?" asked the Holy One.
Lin Qing replied: ""Book of Filial Piety", "Book of Rites", "Notes of ¡õ¡õ" I have taught them all."
The Holy Majesty asked Lin Qing some more things, and Lin Qing answered them truthfully and earnestly.
After a while, the Holy Majesty finished asking and asked him to retreat. Lin Qing made another big gift, and then retreated with the great eunuch who came.
After Lin Qing left, the Holy Majesty picked up a booklet next to him, and while he was reviewing it, he said to the eunuch who was serving at the side: "Li Daban, what do you think of Mr. Tan'er just now?"
Li Daban hurriedly said: "Master Lin is a minister of the court, so no old slave can comment on it."
The Holy Majesty looked at the scriptures and said, "If you tell me what you say, you can say it, and you are not allowed to talk about government affairs."
Li Daban thought for a while and said: "Although I have met this Lord Lin behind His Highness before, I have never spoken to him. This is the first time I have seen him today. Listening to Master Lin's response, it doesn't seem like that Out of mind."
"The crown prince is about to open the mansion, and the official department will select officials for the prince's mansion. Originally, I wanted the official minister Zuo Shilang to go to the prince's mansion to serve the prince, but I didn't want Tan'er to want my original grand tutor to be the post. I can't go against it." This child's wish is allowed, and now I see that although this person's character is good, he may not be able to support the Prince's House." The Holy Majesty sighed.
"If Your Majesty is not satisfied, just change it." Li Daban said hastily.
The Holy Majesty shook his head and said: "The person who has just been appointed and then replaced is still a matter of the Prince's residence. It will inevitably cause others to speculate wildly, which is not good for the Prince's prestige."
Speaking of this, the Holy Majesty said to Li Daban: "Go to the Ministry of Officials and ask Zhang Shangshu to pass an oral order and ask him to pick a few capable candidates for Shao Zhan's affairs. This time, I will have a look at it myself."
"Yes" Li Daban hurriedly responded, and hurried to the Ministry of Officials to find Zhang Shangshu to convey the message
After Lin Qing came out of the palace, seeing that it was getting late, he hurried back to his own courtyard in Prince Tan's Mansion, had lunch, and planned to take a rest after eating, when he heard the little eunuch outside come to him, saying King Tan called him for something. Lin Qing hurriedly followed the little eunuch to the main courtyard.
When I arrived at the main courtyard, I saw King Tan playing chess with a book in his hands. Lin Qing said with a smile: "Your Highness is very leisurely today. I got up early today to thank the saint, and I just came back." After eating some food, I was called by His Highness."
"There's no need to go to court today," King Tan looked at Lin Qing and said, "Did the emperor personally summon you today?"
Lin Qing nodded and said, "I thought it would be enough to just kowtow outside the palace!"
"Father, did you say anything, sir?" King Tan asked hurriedly.
After hearing this, Lin Qing recounted the conversation between himself and the Holy One to King Tan.
After hearing this, King Tan tapped the chessboard with his hand, thought for a while, and asked, "Did the father say anything about you?"
Lin Qing shook his head and said: "Your Majesty asked a few words, then let him back down, Your Highness, did I answer poorly?"
"It's not that bad, but compared to those around the father, there must be a lot of shortcomings, I'm afraid the father will inevitably be a little bit" King Tan didn't have the nerve to go on, fearing that he might accidentally hit his husband.
In fact, it doesn¡¯t need to be said by King Tan, Lin Qing also knows that, not to mention comparing with the important ministers around the Holy One, even compared with the officials of the Six Departments, he also has a lot of shortcomings, and people who don¡¯t usually know it can¡¯t see it, but in the case of the Holy Majesty Looking at people's eyes every day, I'm afraid you can understand him without a few sentences.
"Then the sage will let go of my official?" Lin Qing thought for a while and asked, although it's a pity to lose the official who just got it before warming it up, but Lin Qing knew that it was his own lack of ability, and he couldn't blame others.
King Tan shook his head when he heard this, and said, "That's not the case. If Ren Ling hadn't come down, I'm afraid that my father would have to change people because of his character of demanding the best in everything. He has always been scruples about face, when the official department took office, he also nodded and promised, and he will definitely not change again, but with the emperor's temperament, it is likely that he will choose two powerful Shaozhan things to make you stand up, or choose an important minister, Come to the East Palace to help keep it under control."
After hearing this, Lin Qing breathed a sigh of relief, and said, "I thought I was about to be dismissed before I took office, so I would lose face. It turned out to be just empty, so it's fine, anyway, I'm too lazy to do anything. , there are a few who can do better, and when they come, I will share all the work in my hands with them, so that I can have a good rest!"
King Tan:
It's the first time I saw someone who was emptied, so happy! (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com)rest! "
