Chapter 286 The Empress Dowager’s Instructions (Fifth Update)
Zhu Qiyu accompanied the Queen Mother back. On the way, the Queen Mother also explained to Zhu Qiyu why she wanted to accept Lin Cunde as her adopted son, because she wanted to save Lin Cunde for Zhu Qiyu. He was not worried that Zhu Qiyu would kill Lin Cunde on his own initiative, but he was worried about the alienation of those ministers!

After all, the Empress Dowager has more experience and has been fighting with the Empress Dowager Sun for twenty years, so she has a very strong grasp of human nature.

"Mother, don't worry. I am still grateful to Cunde. If it weren't for him, I really wouldn't be able to secure the throne. Maybe our whole family would have to go to Wumen Gate to be beheaded!" Zhu Qiyu also said with emotion.

"It's good to know! You must also remember that in your mother's life, only half of the people have helped me, and that is your father. No one else dares to help the fifth rank. But now, you have Shouming to help you, and your father-in-law to help you. , Your life is much better than that of your mother!" The Queen Mother nodded and said with emotion.

"Now, there are only two and a half people in this court who are really helping me. One is Cunde, one is the father-in-law, and the other half is Yu Qian. The reason why he counts as half is because he is also a civil servant and he also has his needs. Things to consider! I know these in my heart, so I can only let Cunde go out to do business and let his father-in-law guard the capital!" Zhu Qiyu said with emotion again, he had nothing to hide from the Empress Dowager, and he also knew that the Empress Dowager would be her whole life. Live for yourself!

"Well, in addition, I really like this kid. The more I get to know him, the more I like him. This kid is very calm and won't say anything flattering, but this kid does things and makes people feel at ease! I've always wanted you to have a younger brother, but why? I don't live up to expectations, so I wanted to adopt this child as my adopted son seven or eight days ago, and today, I finally got my wish!" the Empress Dowager said with a smile.

"Congratulations, Queen Mother!" Zhu Qiyu said with a smile when he heard what the Queen Mother said.

"It's worth celebrating. The Queen Mother will have to pick out some things to send to Shouming Mansion later. This child has returned home in fine clothes, but he needs to prepare some more things!" the Queen Mother said very happily.

As for Lin Cunde, Lin Cunde never understood why the Queen Mother wanted to accept him as her adopted son. After leaving the palace, Lin Cunde looked at Wang Ying and asked, "Shibo, why do you think mother wants to accept me as her adopted son?"

"This kid, I like you! I also hope you will assist His Majesty with your heart! The Queen Mother is very kind-hearted. Ask your aunt!" Wang Ying looked at Lin Cunde very happily and said.

Mrs. Qin also nodded and said: "The Queen Mother is very kind-hearted. Don't worry, the Queen Mother likes you. That is also your blessing!"

"Yeah!" Lin Cunde nodded and said nothing, but he was still confused!

Soon, the Mingzhi and the Queen Mother's Yizhi began to spread throughout the capital. The people knew that the Queen Mother had adopted Lin Cunde as her adopted son, and they were extremely envious!
As soon as Lin Cunde arrived at the door of the mansion, he saw at least thirty or forty people waiting for him. Lin Cunde got off his horse, and the ministers below all bowed their hands to Lin Cunde.

"Well, I will go to Jiangxi and Zhejiang on a business trip the day after tomorrow. There are a lot of things at home, so you don't have to wait here! In addition, don't come here with those gifts. I am not short of money or things. I will bring things later. No, I will not see you! Also, I am here to talk to you today. If you are not corrupt, then there is no need to worry. If you are, there is no point in looking for me!" Lin Cunde stood there! , said to those ministers!

Lin Cunzhen just held the handle of the knife and stared at the ministers. If those ministers made any move, Lin Cunzhen would chop them with the knife.

And how dare those ministers say here that they came to Lin Cunde, there must be some shady things. Since they can't see the light, they dare not say it in public.

"Since you dare not say anything, let's leave. I still have something to do!" Lin Cunde waved his hands to them and walked straight into the mansion!

Those ministers also sighed inwardly. They wanted to come here to find a way. They had no contact with Lin Cunde before. It was impossible to find an acquaintance to bring him into Lin Cunde's mansion!

But if they don't come here to look for them, they don't know where to go. If they look for their acquaintances, they won't be able to enter the Luling Marquis Mansion. Moreover, there are only a few people who can enter the Luling Marquis Mansion. If they can find those few people, then there is no need. There's a queue here.

Lin Cunde returned to the mansion. At this moment, things were already being packed. Lin Cunyi and Wang Chenghai saw Lin Cunde coming and came over quickly.

Lin Cunyi said to Lin Cuunde: "Xiao Wu, the palace has sent something again, a lot of things! The gift list is here!"

"Well, okay, I'll pick it up tonight. I'm going to leave the day after tomorrow, so I have to hurry up and pack the things!" Lin Cunde took the gift list and said to Lin Cunyi.

Lin Cunyi also nodded and said: "Qiu Shuang has packed all your things, including the things in the warehouse. In addition, you need to bring some maids and servants with you this time to serve you? Otherwise, Qiu Shuang will be too busy alone, right?"

"Let Qiu Shuang arrange it. I want to take away the sixth and seventh children and let them pack their things!" Lin Cunde nodded and said.

"What do they have? Just a few clothes and some books. I don't know if they can read those books!" Lin Cunyi said with a smile.

Lin Cunde smiled, and then said to Wang Chenghai: "From now on, I will leave the family affairs to you two. If there is anything important, just go to Shibo. I will visit Shibo in the evening!"

"I don't dare, what could happen?" Wang Chenghai also said with a smile. After coming to the capital, he realized the strength of his cousin. No one dared to bully the people in their house!

"Well, okay, I'll go in first, I have some things to do!" Lin Cunde nodded. On his way back just now, Lin Cunde also asked Qin about what the Empress Dowager likes. As a junior, he plans to go there again tomorrow afternoon. In the palace, I have to say goodbye to the Queen Mother and give something away at the same time! I don’t dare to send food to you, but I can still send some supplies to you!

After entering, Lin Cunde told Qiu Shuang some things to do and buy!

Then Lin Cunde began to make a list of everything that needed to be taken out.

On the afternoon of the second day, Lin Cunde went to the palace to say goodbye to Zhu Qiyu. The two chatted for almost two quarters of an hour. At this time, Lin Cunde went to the palace where the Empress Dowager lived!

When the Queen Mother learned that Lin Cunde had come, she was very happy. She pulled Lin Cunde to sit down at the tea table and said, "Mother had just prepared it yesterday afternoon. Knowing that my son likes to drink tea, I asked the people in the palace to prepare it." Find some tea, Shouming, come and see, what kind of tea do you like to drink?”

"Mother bothers you, I don't understand, she just likes to drink!" Lin Cunde said to the Empress Dowager with a smile.

"Then this one, they said this one is the most expensive. If my son wants to drink it, just drink the expensive one!" The Empress Dowager smiled, holding a can of tea, and handed it to Lin Cunde and said, "You can make it yourself, mother won't use this!"

"Okay!" Lin Cunde also said with a smile, took the tea leaves and started to brew them. After brewing, Lin Cunde took out the things he brought with him, mainly some books, Buddhist scriptures and I Ching books, which the Empress Dowager liked. There are only a few people who know the Book of Changes, and Qin is one of them.

"Mom, the mansion I live in belonged to Wang Zhen before. Wang Zhen collected many books, including Buddhist scriptures and the Yi Jing. I heard from my aunt that you also studied the Yi Jing quite a lot, so I kept the Yi Jing in my house. Bring all the books, I don’t know if you have them here!" Lin Cunde said, opening the box he brought, which was all filled with books.

"Hey, I like this. Mom, let's take a look first, and you can drink tea!" The Queen Mother was very happy, and she started to look through the books.

Then he said in surprise: "These are all unique books. This Wang Zhen is quite capable. He can find such books. I will leave these books here for you. When you finish reading them, I will return them to you!"

Lin Cunde waved his hand and said, "I don't understand! You should keep these, mother!"

"No, understand. After you come back from Jiangxi and Zhejiang, my mother will live in your house for a while. Then she will teach you that the Book of Changes contains great principles. You must understand that fighting is also useful. My son is the leader in the battle. General, you have to understand everything!" The Empress Dowager said seriously to Lin Cunde.

When Lin Cunde heard this, he rubbed his head and said, "Mom, I don't have this talent!"

"This child, as long as his mother is here, he will be fine!" the Empress Dowager said with a smile.

"Hehe, that's okay, after I return to Beijing, I will take you to live in my house for a long time!" Lin Cunde nodded with a smile.

"Well, okay, it's not easy to live in this palace. People are watching you every day. Besides, those people don't dare to tell the truth to my mother. I don't like it! I like simple things!" The Queen Mother said as she continued to read. Those books said at the same time: "When you return to your hometown this time, you can clean up those corrupt officials. If anyone dares to retaliate against you, my mother will take it out on you."

"Hehe, okay!" Lin Cunde smiled and nodded again after hearing this.

"But you have to pay attention to your own safety. Those civil servants are bad. They can think of any harmful ideas. Don't be careless!" The Queen Mother continued to remind Lin Cunde.

"Well, I remember! Mom, you should take care of your health and walk around more often if you have nothing to do!" Lin Cunde also reminded the Queen Mother.

"It's okay for me to be in the palace. Queen Mother Sun doesn't dare to bully mother anymore. Now that you have helped her Majesty stabilize the situation in the court, she is now a toothless tiger. But, Shou Ming, don't be careless about this person. This person Mother has never fought in her whole life, and her methods are vicious! Mother is also watching her in the palace and telling her not to make trouble!" Empress Dowager Sun solemnly confessed to Lin Cunde, who also nodded seriously.

The two chatted for about two-quarters of an hour, and then Lin Cunde left. Empress Dowager Sun gave Lin Cunde all the tea she had obtained, which was a hundred kilograms of fine tea. Lin Cunde couldn't laugh or cry. How long would he drink it? ?

Moreover, His Majesty and the Empress Dowager both gave a lot of gifts yesterday, and they gave so much more today.

Lin Cunde couldn't laugh or cry, but many officials in the capital couldn't cry even if they wanted to. Lin Cunde was going to Jiangxi and Zhejiang tomorrow, and the days of some officials could be counted down!
