sit tight

The reason why Ji Yanxi's case was not dealt with was because the emperor wanted to wait for the best time to catch them all.Although the emperor now has some evidence in his hands, the list of the most important personnel cannot be counted.Peng Yue told the emperor that the list was in Lin Changqing's hands, and the Taifu came this time to take the list away. The Taifu also said that Lin Changqing had made a great contribution by handing over the list, and life would be easier in the future.

Lin Changqing told Taifu that the list had been handed over to Ji Yanxi.The Taifu was shocked and asked Lin Changqing, how could he be so hasty, that is the key evidence.What Lin Changqing said is evidence for you, but it is a ray of light for my life.

The Taifu didn't give up, thinking that Lin Changqing was perfunctory him, he said that Mr. Lin, you had a lot of misunderstandings with the emperor, and you haven't seen each other for a long time. If you hand over the list, I can ask the emperor to allow you to enter the palace to meet him.

Lin Changqing refused the Taifu with a smile. He sneered in his heart, wanting to tell the Taifu that the wise emperor he said a few days ago had slept in the same bed with him.

Seeing that Lin Changqing was soft and hard, the Taifu had no choice but to leave. Before leaving, he gave Lin Changqing a bag of money, saying it was a little of his own kindness.Lin Changqing did not refuse to accept it.After sending the Taifu away, he opened the cloth bag containing the silver, and he saw a rolled up note.The content inside told Lin Changqing that the North Jin Kingdom was extremely active in coming in. They recruited troops in large numbers to train soldiers, and purchased weapons and vehicles, fearing that a war would arise.Tell Lin Changqing not to associate with Beijin people again, so as not to be killed.Lin Changqing sneered, this was just a warning from Qin Yufeng through the hand of the Taifu.Up to now, Qin Yufeng still thinks that he fled for treason.

The season has entered September, and Liangzhou City, located in the south of the Yangtze River, has ended the hot and humid summer. The air is dry and the sky is high and cloudless.

Ji Yanxi can bring back a lot of information every day when she goes to the yamen to take up duties.Yesterday he came back and told Lin Changqing that Long Live Lord was happy to have Lin'er, and the queen gave birth to the eldest son of the emperor. When he came back today, he told him that the queen died of a phoenix body due to postpartum hemorrhage.

Lin Changqing listened and didn't say anything.His impression of the empress only stayed at the appearance of her during the canonization ceremony.

Lin Changqing was originally a very patient person, but under Ji Yanxi's repeated perfunctory, he became impatient.

That day when he asked Ji Yanxi if he could help him, Ji Yanxi felt embarrassed. He said that he also wanted to help Lin Changqing, but the master above refused to see him.Lin Changqing asked him if that master was the one from that night, and Ji Yanxi said no.Lin Changqing asked him who the master above him was, and he went to find it himself.If Ji Yanxi didn't say anything, Lin Changqing couldn't force him with a knife.

Seeing the time passing day by day, he really couldn't afford it.

Lin Changqing decided to go home. He planned to give up Ji Yanxi and think of other ways.Now he welcomes Ji Yanxi as Qin Yufeng's person, Lin Changqing secretly thinks that he is really stupid, and he is being played around again and again.

Lin Changqing bid farewell to Ji Yanxi, Ji Yanxi knew that he was going to leave, she was very happy in her heart, and on the surface she still tried to persuade him to stay.

There is something Lin Changqing doesn't understand. When Qin Yufeng was with him that night, the two met each other naked. It is impossible for Qin Yufeng not to see the list on his waist. After all, he was the most sober party that night. .

What kind of medicine is sold in Qin Yufeng's gourd?

Lin Changqing made three copies of the list, one was with him, one was given to Ji Yanxi, and the other was buried in the flower bed of Beijin and Liufu.The list buried in Liu's Mansion left in a hurry, so I didn't have time to dig it out, so it must have turned into manure by now.

When I returned to the capital, I saw white streets all over the streets, white silk hanging on the door of every house, and the queen died and the whole country mourned.

Lin Changqing had just arrived at the door of the house when he saw his mother and the old housekeeper talking at the door.Judging by the look on my mother's face, she should be recovering from her illness.

Mrs. Lin was delighted to see her son come back, and she personally cooked some of her favorite dishes for Lin Changqing.

The old butler told Lin Changqing at the dinner table that his wife's illness was considered cured. Lin Changqing was also happy to hear that, thinking about where to take his mother to relax.

Changwu went to Lingzhou, and it will take two months before he can come back. Lin Changqing can only worry about it in vain. Fortunately, Changwu still knows to write a letter to his family every month to report his safety.

After another month, the queen's mourning period finally passed, and every family returned to normal life.

Lin Changqing was waiting, waiting for Qin Yufeng to come to him.He couldn't find any way to get close to the imperial court, the center of power, so he could only pin his hopes on Qin Yufeng's uncertain attitude.Although such an idea is a bit unbelievable, and it is also mixed with the kind of unspeakable secret, it is the only way Lin Changqing can think of.

Lin Changqing didn't know how Qin Yufeng suppressed him to rob the bridegroom in the wedding hall in Beijin. He returned to East Qin for more than half a year, and he didn't hear a single rumor about that day. It seems that the emperor of Beijin and Qin Yufeng deliberately concealed it. .

In the Qifeng Hall, Qin Yufeng looked at the baby sleeping peacefully in the cradle, his phoenix eyes did not show the kindness of a new father, but there was a sense of loneliness.The people in the palace saw the long-lived Lord with a straight face all day long, and they were heartbroken when he lost his wife. They all hoped that the emperor would quickly establish a new one and melt the ice on the long-lived Lord's face.

Qin Yufeng stretched out his hand to touch the baby's soft face, looking at this child who had no blood relationship with him, he couldn't help feeling a sense of courage and sadness in his heart.He thought of the empress dowager, his older sister, and those younger brothers who were not up to snuff.Look at the children who lost their mothers when they were born. They are destined to be the ones who will not get the warmth of real family members in their whole life.

Dreaming back at midnight, Concubine Jin's vicious curse made him breathless.He is the emperor, and his imperial mausoleum has been built long ago. Unless the country dies, he will get the best burial.Not being loved for the rest of his life is what he fears most.

For the sake of the throne, for the sake of the world, he has already lost all family affection, so is he really going to grow old alone until he dies?

regain the king's heart

In the imperial study, Qin Yufeng was worrying about the shortfall of the national treasury.

Originally, this year was full of natural disasters, and half of the tax was reduced due to the birth of the prince.The life of the people is better, but the treasury is getting more and more empty.

What Qin Yufeng has to do now is to add to the 5000 million taels of silver that the treasury was short of years ago.Early in the court, a minister suggested that wealthy households in the Eastern Qin Dynasty should donate money, but Qin Yufeng vetoed it.If rich households are forced to donate money, it will cause dissatisfaction among the people.Now Beijin is eyeing Dongqin covetously. If the Beijin people know, they will take the opportunity to win over wealthy households who are dissatisfied with the imperial court, and the consequences will be disastrous.

Arguing all morning, there was no result.

Just as he was worried, the virtuous king came, and he told Qin Yufeng that he had a solution. Qin Yufeng asked him to say that the virtuous king said that it was easy to want money, but isn’t there a vacancy in the post now?Lin Changqing smiled and said, fourth uncle, you can really come up with random ideas, whoever marries a daughter has to pay for all the family assets, the virtuous king said, alas, the emperor doesn't understand, some rich people have money but no power, If you give him the power, he will naturally add the money obediently.Lin Changqing still rejected King Xian's suggestion, he said that all the calculations were done against the people of East Qin.He told Xianwang not to worry about it anymore, he has his own way.

The next day, Qin Yufeng issued an imperial decree that he wanted to sell the imperial palace in the south of the Yangtze River for 5000 million taels.This imperial decree frightened the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty.The ministers talked a lot, Dong Qin was so poor that he wanted to sell the royal property to live?Some ministers submitted papers to object, and they were all beaten back.Qin Yufeng was determined to sell the palace.

The selling price is available but the buyer is not. Who would dare to buy a royal palace, wanting to taste what it's like to be an emperor?That is courting death.Qin Yufeng urged every morning to ask if there were any buyers. The ministers were urged one by one and two big. In the end, they had no choice but to organize to collect money. Each family took out 10 taels. In less than ten days, they collected 5000 million taels. silver.

In the imperial study, Qin Yufeng smiled when he saw the account book handed over by the Minister of Finance. His trick of attracting jade was very successful.

During the Mid-Autumn Festival, the city of Moyang is very lively, the sky is full of fireworks, and the fragrance of moon cakes is floating in every household.

Qin Yufeng finished the dinner with the royal family and nobles, and was escorted back to the bedroom by Wang Fu.He drank a little too much today and is top-heavy.Wang Fu asked the imperial dining room to make sober soup for Qin Yufeng, and Qin Yufeng drank it, sobering up a lot.He asked Wang Fu to go back to his own little home in the palace to reunite with Aunt Su, and he could just stay by himself.

Qin Yufeng gave Peng Yue a vacation. His new wife was pregnant and needed someone to take care of him.Qin Yufeng sat alone under the window, looking at the full moon in the sky, and suddenly remembered that night last year, when he was also drunk, the kiss between that person and himself.

Qin Yufeng fiddled with the mooncake in his hand, turning it around to look at it.Qin Yufeng doesn't like sweets, and the few mooncakes on the table are just decorations for the occasion.

Lin Changqing and his mother sat under the big locust tree to watch the moon. Mother made some mooncakes by herself. Although they were not as exquisite as those sold outside, they tasted special.

It will take another month for Changwu to come back. He sent a letter yesterday, saying that everything is fine, so don't worry about elder brother and mother.Seeing his mother's disappointment, Lin Changqing persuaded her that Changwu would leave us sooner or later. He was Ying and Dapeng.Mrs. Lin asked Lin Changqing, then what are you?Son, you are almost 27 this year, and you don't have a daughter-in-law yet.Now that your father is gone, we mother and son are the only ones left at home. You have been refusing to marry a wife. Why?Lin Changqing smiled wryly, and he said, Mother, it’s not that I don’t want to marry, it’s that I can’t. I’m a criminal charged with treason, and it’s a great kindness that the emperor didn’t kill me. , I will be headed to the ground.Which girl is willing to marry me?

Mrs. Lin was silent for a while, and he asked Lin Changqing, do you not like women anymore?Lin Changqing was shocked, he said no, Mrs. Lin smiled knowingly, she said son you are
