Lin Qing was startled when he heard that Zhou Yan actually took Cheng Wang and Dai Wang during the national funeral, and felt a little impatient, but after thinking about it carefully, he found that this may not be the case.
King Cheng and King Dai used to dance happily because of the backing of the Supreme Emperor, plus the ministers that Cheng Wang and Dai Wang had wooed in the court, but now, the Supreme Emperor has passed away, and the biggest backers of Cheng Wang and Dai Wang are gone. Well, would King Cheng and King Dai really dare to rebel with the ministers they had won over?
You must know that at the beginning King Cheng and Dai Wang were recruited by civil servants, and the dead King Gong was recruited by military commanders. The so-called rebellion by scholars failed in three years, so at the beginning King Gong could almost force the palace to succeed with his soldiers, but now, King Cheng He Dai Wang has no such ability.
Zhou Yan must have seen through this point before he dared to directly send troops to surround Chengwang Mansion and Daiwang Mansion. After all, it is he, Zhou Yan, the emperor who has military power now.
Of course, there must be a disadvantage in this way, that is, it is not good for reputation. However, based on Lin Qing's understanding of Zhou Yan, Zhou Yan may feel that dealing with Chengwang and Daiwang is more important than temporary reputation. This thing is not based on history writing, but on the praise of officials. Now I will tidy up and obey it, and it will be the same if I buy people's hearts in the future.
Moreover, it is surprisingly difficult to encircle Cheng Wang's mansion and Dai Wang's mansion to search. There is another advantage, that is, it may be possible to find out Cheng Wang and Dai Wang's officials and some handles attached to their officials. stable.
Two days later, I heard news from the palace that because King Cheng and King Dai had misguided intentions, the new emperor sent people to search their palaces and found many illegal artifacts. Wang and Dai Wang are the orphans of their imperial brothers, so they decided to deal with it leniently, and let the two go to the late emperor's tomb to mourn for the late emperor for three years after the late emperor's burial. After three years, they were demoted to county kings and sent back to the fief On Fan.
Hearing this news, Lin Qing was completely relieved. It seems that Zhou Yan thought more comprehensively than he expected, not only gaining real benefits, but also considering reputation.
Having picked the fault of King Cheng and King Dai, and convicted them, the courtiers have not yet been implicated. After the two princes have stayed in the imperial mausoleum for three years, even if they return to the fief, they will try to make trouble again. At that time, Zhou Yan has been in charge for three years. The court has long been decided by Zhou Yan. Moreover, violating the system is a serious crime. Zhou Yan asked the two princes to guard the tomb for three years and be demoted to one level. In anyone's opinion, the punishment is light. The two begged for mercy.
Of course, those courtiers whom King Cheng and Dai Wang have won over are probably not in the mood to intercede for the two kings now. The new emperor sent people to search the two palaces. It looks like the big things have turned into small things, but no one dares to really let go.
Therefore, regarding Zhou Yan's sudden disposal of the two kings this time, there was a rare loss of voice in the court, as if this matter did not exist.
Lin Qing even wondered with a bit of mischief, is everyone busy with the New Year and have no time to deal with this matter.
Speaking of the New Year, due to the death of the Supreme Emperor, music is not allowed during the national mourning period, and guests are not allowed to entertain guests, so the taste of the New Year this year is much weaker. The ministers did not dare to gather like in previous years, for fear of being impeached by the imperial censor accidentally.
Without the big and small New Year banquets, Lin Qing is happy and leisurely, just stays at home and teaches a few children to read every day.
Lin Huan will take part in the examination in February next year, so from the beginning of winter, Lin Qing's focus on teaching the three children to study is on Lin Huan, and Lin Qing will personally correct all the homework that Lin Huan does.
Wang Yan also gave Lin Huan supplements in different ways, for fear that Lin Huan would lose his health.
Lin Huan saw that he had gained a lot of weight these days, so he complained to Lin Qing, saying: "Mother has changed the stewed tonic for my son every day these days, and if my son eats this way again, he will change it before he can try it." Become a big fat man."
Lin Qing knew that Wang Yan stewed tonic every day. He went to see it in person, and it was some nourishing medicinal food, so he felt relieved. Hearing what Lin Huan said, he smiled and said: "It's good to be fat, now save more meat, wait In the room where the test will take place, it will be quite exhausting."
Lin Huan's head was full of black lines. It turns out that taking supplements has this effect.
The entire New Year of the Lin family was spent in Lin Huan's intense preparation for the exam. As soon as the first month came out, the exam came as scheduled.
February 8th
Lin Qing came home on duty, returned to the backyard, saw Wang Yan, and asked, "Where is Huan'er?"
"Huan'er just got up, according to what Erlang said, I didn't call him today, let him rest for a while." Wang Yan said.
Just as Lin Qing and Wang Yan were talking, Lin Huan lifted the curtain and came in, seeing Lin Qing and Wang Yan shouting: "Father, mother."
Lin Qing turned around, looked at Lin Huan, and asked, "How are you resting?"
"Not bad, I just met Duke Zhou." Lin Huan said.And said.
Lin Qing nodded and said: "That's good, let's have some food, and go to the Gongyuan when it gets dark."
Wang Yan hurriedly asked the maid to bring the food that had been prepared and kept warm on the stove for Lin Huan to eat quickly.
Lin Huan sat down and began to eat. Lin Qing took Lin Huan's test basket beside him, and checked the contents one by one. After checking, he saw that there was nothing missing, and asked, "Are you wearing thick enough?"
"According to what my father said, there are two layers of thick brocade on the inside to prevent drafts, and two layers of woolen robes on the outside to keep warm, and the outermost layer is thick brocade, so it will definitely not freeze." Lin Huan said.
Lin Qing nodded after hearing this, and said: "But don't take it lightly. When you get to the number room, there is only one cold quilt in the number room. You remember to use a charcoal brazier to grill it first, and cover yourself tightly when you sleep. The number room is all covered If there is an air leak, don¡¯t blow the cold wind, so as not to freeze.¡±
After hearing this, Lin Huan said, "Father, don't worry, I have written it down. You have said this several times."
Lin Qing laughed immediately after hearing this, and said: "Stinky boy, I'm not worried about you, but I actually despise my father's long-windedness."
Seeing that Lin Huan had finished eating, Lin Qing ordered a few more words, and re-checked the things Lin Huan wanted to bring. After confirming that they were correct, he asked Xiao Lin to take someone to send Lin Huan to the Gongyuan.
After Lin Huan left, Lin Qing and Wang Yan didn't bother to eat, so they ate something casually and went to bed to rest.
But lying on the bed, Lin Qing and Wang Yan couldn't fall asleep because of tossing and turning. In the end, they stopped sleeping altogether and started chatting directly?
Wang Yan poked Lin Qing with her hand and said, "Erlang, do you think Huan'er can pass this time?"
"How do I know, I want to know, I won't be able to sleep here now." Lin Qing sighed. He himself was not nervous when he took the exam, but now that his son is taking the exam, he is so nervous that he can't sleep.
"Is Huaner's knowledge enough?" Wang Yan asked.
Lin Qing said: "The examination is not only a matter of knowledge, luck is also very important. Seven points depend on knowledge, and three points depend on luck. It doesn't mean that you will be able to do it if you have enough knowledge."
After hearing this, Wang Yan felt relieved and said, "Huan'er has been lucky since she was a child, so she must be fine this time."
Lin Qing: ¡¡¡
That kid's shit luck has been really good! (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
