Chapter 3 White Head Pressing the Sword
In just two days, Lin Yiyu met three lobbyists.
The general's mansion, which closed its doors to thank guests, has gathered the eyes of many people.
Lin Yiyu knew that it was not a solution to keep claiming that he was sick and not go to court.
After a few days, he got up early and went to court.
When he was queuing at the gate of the palace, Xun Zhongqian stood beside him.
"General Lin." Xun Zhongqian called out.
Xun Zhongqian is the father of the queen of Chu, that is, the head of the country, and he can be described as a powerful man in Chu.In public, Lin Yiyu didn't want to give him face.
Lin Yiyu turned his head and said, "Master Xun."
Xun Zhongqian looked at Lin Yiyu carefully for a while, and said, "General Lin doesn't look like someone recovering from a long illness."
Lin Yiyu smiled and said: "There are all the adults above the court, so naturally there is no need for a reckless man like me to worry about it. I am just looking for an excuse to hide from my laziness."
Xun Zhongqian shook his head and said, "General Lin, why should you take yourself lightly, the general is also the pillar of the country." In his heart, he wished Lin Yiyu would die, but he still had to act on the surface.
In fact, he and Lin Yiyu had no enmity or grudge, but he had placed some people in the army, but they could not be reused.
The military power in Lin Yiyu's hands was coveted by countless people in Chu State.Even though he was stripped of his military power, his prestige in the army still made many people sleepless.
"If you talk about the pillars of the country, in the current state of Chu, there are only Lord Xun and the Prime Minister." Lin Yiyu said hypocritically.
In Lin Yiyu's view, Chen Yishan, the prime minister of the state, did have some tricks, but Xun Zhongqian was just relying on his status as the head of the state, so he couldn't get on the stage.
"'One hundred and one use is a scholar', how can Chen Yishan compare to General Lin's orders and prohibitions, and his majesty." In Xun Zhongqian's heart, he looked down on both Chen Yishan and Lin Yiyu.In his opinion, Chen Yishan is a corrupt scholar, and Lin Yiyu is just a martial artist.
Lin Yiyu was too lazy to play Tai Chi with Xun Zhongqian again, and reminded: "The morning court is about to begin. Mr. Xun has a high position and authority. He is an example for all officials. It is better to be more solemn. Don't learn from that gossip woman."
Xun Zhongqian felt angry, smiled awkwardly, and said nothing more.
The bell rang, and hundreds of officials entered the palace.
Lin Yiyu raised his head in the crowd, and looked at the Chu Palace in the distance, with its horns and cornices, carved beams and painted buildings, surrounded by mist, it seemed like a fairyland on earth.For some, however, this place is no different from Hell.He sighed inwardly, and lowered his head again.
Beginning in the morning, the ministers were arguing and arguing endlessly.
Lin Yiyu remained silent, standing there like a wooden man.
Chu Mingxi sat upright, his expression hard to distinguish between joy and anger.
From a long time ago, Lin Yiyu didn't know the meaning of each expression of Chu Mingxi.The young man who talked and laughed at Yanyan in his memory seemed to have never existed.But he still persistently pursues the shadow of the past, like keeping a handful of water in his hand.
Chu Mingxi suddenly said, "What's Lin Qing's opinion?"
What everyone was saying, Lin Yiyu didn't listen to a single word, but he did not rush, and said slowly: "I have little knowledge, Your Majesty makes his own decision."
He knew that Chu Mingxi had always acted arbitrarily, and whether the opinions of the ministers could be adopted was not based on whether they were clever, but on who could guess what the King of Chu was thinking.In this way, if the opinion is useful, then the king of Chu is wise; if the opinion is useless, then the courtier is dull.
Chu Mingxi laughed lowly, and said: "If your knowledge is shallow, then the court is full of mediocrity." However, he did not ask Lin Yiyu, but adopted Chen Yishan's opinion, "The matter of the flood, we will As Chen Xiang said."
He looked around all the officials, but no one dared to look at him.Only Lin Yiyu's eyes met him for a moment, and then he lowered his head deeply, becoming one of countless humble heads.
Chu Mingxi waved his sleeves and said, "If there is nothing else, then retreat."
Lin Yiyu left the main hall, walked a few steps, and was stopped by a eunuch at the corner.
The eunuch said: "General Lin, Your Majesty has summoned you."
Lin Yiyu sighed, "Let's go." He wanted to see Chu Mingxi, but he didn't want to see Chu Mingxi, but whether he saw it or not was up to him.
When Lin Yiyu saw Chu Mingxi, he was resting with his eyes closed.
Hearing footsteps, Chu Mingxi opened his eyes, "You are here."
Lin Yiyu knelt on one knee, "See Your Majesty."
Chu Mingxi personally helped Lin Yiyu up, and let him sit beside him.He held Lin Yiyu's hand, "I haven't seen you for a long time."
Lin Yiyu's hand was cold, but Chu Mingxi's was hot.
Lin Yiyu looked at Chu Mingxi, and actually had the illusion of warmth and tenderness.He smiled and said, "Yes, long time no see."
Chu Mingxi squeezed Lin Yiyu's hand, "Healed?"
Lin Yiyu lowered his eyes and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your concern."
Chu Mingxi was silent for a while, and said, "Are you blaming me for calling you back from the border?"
"How could I blame His Majesty? Your Majesty has your own deep meaning." Lin Yiyu was telling the truth, but he knew that Chu Mingxi must not believe it.He has never had any hatred or resentment towards Chu Mingxi.
"You have suffered so many years at the border, it's time to come back and enjoy the blessing." Chu Mingxi touched the thick layer of sword cocoon in Lin Yiyu's hand.
These hands used to be white and weak, but they also used to practice sword day and night, and they were wrapped in thick gauze, oozing blood.
Lin Yiyu said seriously: "I guard the frontier and defend the land for His Majesty, how can I say it is suffering."
Chu Mingxi said in a low voice, "There are too many people who can defend my territory, but there is only one Lin Yiyu. The sword has no eyes on the battlefield. Don't worry me."
For almost a moment, Lin Yiyu thought that Chu Mingxi's words were true and that this person really cared about him.However, as sweet as words are, so bloody is reality.The reality is that his military power was cut, his military amulet was taken away, and he became an overhead general.
He closed his eyes and opened them again, and said, "I am Your Majesty's subject, but it is up to Your Majesty to decide."
While the two were talking, a eunuch came in and knelt down on the ground, "Your Majesty, the queen begs to see you."
"Since the queen is here, I'd better take my leave." Lin Yiyu wanted to stand up.
Chu Mingxi held Lin Yiyu down, "You are different from others, why should you be so alien to me." He turned his head and said, "Let her in."
Fragrant clothes and shadows on the temples, rings and jingles, Xun Xiujun enters in style.She saluted Chu Mingxi, "Your Majesty."
"Get up." Chu Mingxi gave a little support.
Xun Xiujun said with a slight smile, "I made tremella and lotus seed soup, please Your Majesty to taste it." She looked at Lin Yiyu, "I didn't expect General Lin to be there, why don't you use some too." Her face is like a flower, and her smile is especially touching.
Lin Yiyu said awkwardly: "Thank you, Madam, for your kindness..."
Chu Mingxi said in a deep voice, "It's not poisoned."
The room was silent for a while, even the sound of breathing was lightened.
Lin Yiyu broke the silence, "It is my honor to have a taste of your mother's handicraft."
Xun Xiujun took out tremella and lotus seed soup from the food box carried by the maid beside him, and offered it to Chu Mingxi with both hands, "Your Majesty, please use it."
A court lady brought another bowl of white fungus and lotus seed soup to Lin Yiyu, "General, please use it."
Lin Yiyu was holding this bowl of white fungus and lotus seed soup, and couldn't taste it.After eating, he excused himself and left.
Chu Mingxi's face sank like water, and he threw the bowl on the table, making a loud noise.
The eunuchs and court ladies knelt down tremblingly.
Xun Xiujun asked cautiously: "Is it not to your Majesty's liking?" She naturally knew that Chu Mingxi was angry not because of the bowl of white fungus and lotus seed soup, but because of Lin Yiyu, but she just wanted to ask.
Chu Mingxi took a deep breath, "It's Gu who is in a bad mood, you can go down."
"Yes." Although Xun Xiujuan was unwilling, she couldn't ruin her gentle and submissive image, so she withdrew.
After Xun Xiujun left, Chu Mingxi laughed at himself and said, "This king is not a king, ministers are not ministers, what does he look like?"
Lin Yiyu left the Chu Palace feeling depressed.So instead of going back to the General's Mansion, he wandered around the street to relax.
The streets are full of traffic and very lively.Lin Yiyu recalled how he had starved to death when he just captured Danyang City, and said to himself, "Perhaps, everything I did was not meaningless."
Everyone in Chu State admired him and regarded him as a great hero, but he often felt ashamed of this admiration.Because, he was never for the state of Chu, nor for the people of the state of Chu, but for Chu Mingxi alone.
As he was walking, he suddenly saw a few gangsters pestering a girl who sold flowers.
The girl was crying and crying, and refused to go with the gangsters.She has willow eyebrows and almond eyes, snowy skin and beautiful appearance. Although she is dressed in a cloth skirt, she can hardly hide her beauty.
He hesitated for a moment, but still made a move.Compared with martial arts and street gangsters, he can be said to be a world of difference, and he beat the gangsters away with a few moves.
The girl thanked and said: "Thank you for this hero."
"I bought all your flowers today. Next time, sell flowers in another place. Be careful of those gangsters who will retaliate against you. If there is something wrong, go to the patrolling police." Lin Yiyu took out a piece of silver.
The girl shook her head, refusing to take the broken silver, "The hero saved me, I am already indebted, how can I accept your money again." She knelt down, "My parents are dead, I am alone, Meng Daxia rescued me today, and is willing to go to the Daxia’s mansion as a slave and handmaid, to repay the Daxia.”
Lin Yiyu wanted to help the girl up, but the girl refused to get up.
Lin Yiyu sighed and asked, "What's your name?"
"My name is Zhu Jin, the hibiscus of hibiscus." Zhu Jin raised her head and looked at Lin Yiyu pitifully.
Lin Yiyu was silent for a moment, and said, "It's a good name." He thought of his sister who died of illness, a beautiful and miserable girl.
"It's just that there happens to be a Hibiscus plant in front of my house, so I'm called Hibiscus." Zhu Jin lowered her head.
"I don't need a servant, but I can take you in for a while." Lin Yiyu thought that among the people he knew, there were some people who were not of high background but were honest and reliable, and maybe he could find someone to rely on for Zhu Jin.
A smile bloomed on Zhu Jin's tear-stained face, "I don't know the hero's name yet."
"Lin Yiyu." Lin Yiyu could already predict the surprised expression on Zhu Jin's face.
Sure enough, Zhu Jin opened her eyes wide and said in surprise, "You are General Lin!"
Zhu Jin's voice was so loud that several people looked over.Lin Yiyu had no choice but to take Zhu Jin back to the house, and then asked his servants to settle her down.
The general's mansion, which closed its doors to thank guests, has gathered the eyes of many people.
Lin Yiyu knew that it was not a solution to keep claiming that he was sick and not go to court.
After a few days, he got up early and went to court.
