The female supporting role turns over: the prince regent's favorite

Chapter 106 Lin Langtian Returns from Jiangnan
"It shouldn't be Gu Changgeng. If he leaves the mansion, the guards at the gate will know. The servants have asked. Gu Changgeng has not left the mansion for a while."

Xu meditated.

Recently, Lin Qingyuan has made enemies with Gu Changgeng only.

Or was it done by the dissatisfied ministers in Lin Langtian's court?

Mrs. Xu couldn't figure it out, so she could only order irritably: "Let Steward Fu go and investigate, this person must be found out."

"Yes, ma'am."

……

Jinglan Court.

Lin Qingqian pinched the old lady's shoulders, pretending to mention it casually, and said, "Grandmother, isn't father going to come back from Jiangnan in the next two days? Why hasn't he come back yet, but something has delayed him on the way?"

"No, just now, your father's entourage came back and said that once your father entered the city gate, the emperor let the emperor announce him into the palace, and he might not be able to return home until tonight."

"Oh, so it is."

The old lady asked: "You suddenly asked about your father, but is there something wrong?"

Lin Qingqian lowered her eyes, and said calmly: "No, Qingqian just heard from grandma that my father will return home in the past two days, and seeing that my father has not come back, I am a little worried and want to ask."

The old lady opened her eyes and nodded in relief.

"Well, don't worry, your father should be back from the palace at dinner time, and you will come over then, and our family will have dinner in the front yard."

"Yes, grandma, Qingqian understands."

Lin Qingqian thought to herself: She will definitely go, it is a well-arranged show, how could she not go to see it.

……

The palace, the imperial study.

"Prime Minister Lin, the emperor let you in."

Lin Langtian nodded slightly, stepped into the imperial study room, and knelt down in front of the emperor.

"Come to see the emperor."

The emperor sat on the dragon chair with sharp eyes and narrowed his eyes slightly, allowing Lin Langtian to kneel for a moment before saying in a deep voice: "Ai Qing, please get up."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Lin Langtian stood up, and the emperor said: "Aiqing just came back from the south of the Yangtze River, and she was announced into the palace by the dusty people. She couldn't even rest for a moment. It's hard work."

Lin Langtian looked serious, and cupped his hands and said: "Your Majesty, I don't work hard. Even if the Emperor doesn't announce my entry into the palace, I still want to enter the palace as soon as I come back, to report to the Emperor about the management of the flood in the south of the Yangtze River."

"That's very good, then Ai Qing, how about the flood situation in the south of the Yangtze River?"

"Returning to the emperor, after more than a month, the flood in the south of the Yangtze River has been treated. The dams destroyed by the flood have been rebuilt. The people displaced by the flood have made arrangements for the time being. In order to avoid the plague caused by the flood, the third prince also invited Doctors are treating people who show symptoms of illness, and if they find someone infected with the plague, they will immediately isolate them to control the epidemic.”

The emperor nodded in satisfaction, "That's right, Aiqing's visit this time can be regarded as a great achievement."

"I don't dare to do it. If I say credit, the one who deserves the most credit should be the third prince. I saw it with my own eyes in the south of the Yangtze River. The third prince worked tirelessly with the soldiers to repair the embankment and appease the refugees. When I returned to the capital, I wanted the third prince to come back together. But he didn't want to, saying that he wanted to settle the last commoner who was in distress properly so that he could return to the palace with peace of mind."

Lin Langtian sighed: "The third prince really loves his name like a son!"

The emperor's eyes flickered slightly, and he said: "Zi Hao, I have always known that this child is sensible, and when he returns to the palace, I will definitely reward him well."

"Emperor Shengming."

The emperor must have stared at Lin Langtian for a long while, and then asked suddenly: "Aiqing, do you know that a country cannot live without a state for a day, I originally asked you to send the relief money, and you will come back when you deliver it, why did you stay for so long? "

Lin Langtian immediately knelt down, lowered his head and said: "Please punish me, the emperor. After I arrived in the south of the Yangtze River, the flood situation was far more severe than I imagined. Seeing so many people in Beiming displaced, the third prince and others alone felt a bit overwhelmed. Insufficient strength, I couldn't bear it, so I wanted to stay and do my best, which delayed the time to return to the capital."

The emperor remained silent, looking at Lin Langtian with deep eyes.

Lin Langtian clenched his hands, his mind moved slightly.

The reason why he stayed in Jiangnan was only to help the third prince.

Although he is the distinguished third prince, as the saying goes, a strong dragon cannot overwhelm a local snake, and there are many corrupt officials in the south of the Yangtze River. official.

For a moment, the emperor withdrew his oppressive gaze, smiled, and said: "Aiqing, please get up quickly, you are dedicated to the people, and it is too late for me to reward you, so how can I punish you?"

Lin Langtian stood up, "Thank you, Your Majesty."

The emperor asked a few more questions about Jiangnan's situation, then changed the subject suddenly, and said: "I know that Aiqing is worried about national affairs and has no time to take care of family affairs, but you also need to spend more time on family affairs, you understand?"

Lin Langtian sensed that there was something in the emperor's words, and said: "I ask the emperor to make it clear that this is..."

"Oh, I forgot, Aiqing just returned to the capital, and I don't know what's going on in the market these days."

Lin Langtian frowned slightly, waiting for the emperor to continue.

"Two days ago, a distant relative of a supervising student of the Imperial College was talking about some interesting things in the teahouse. He said something about Mr. Aiqing without even thinking about it."

"What about the dog?"

The emperor glanced at Eunuch Li, and Eunuch Li stood up understandingly and said, "Back to the Prime Minister, the man said that Mr. Lin didn't know how to respect teachers in the Imperial College classroom, played tricks on Mr., made him faint, and bullied his classmates. Therefore, Shen Shizi of the Marquis of Pingyang had a fight with him, not only that, but there are even rumors among the people that the Prime Minister and Mr. Lin are not able to teach well, how to handle the important affairs of the court well."

Lin Langtian was shocked, and said angrily, "You son of a bitch!"

He bowed his hands and said: "I am ashamed, it is the minister who can't teach well, this time I go back, I must teach this rebellious son well!"

"Mr. Lin is still young, so Ai Qing doesn't have to be too serious, but what should be taught still needs to be taught."

"I understand."

The emperor said "Yes", and said: "Aiqing came back from Jiangnan after a long journey, and you haven't had a good rest yet, so I will allow you to rest in the mansion for three days before coming to court."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

The emperor said again: "Li Quan, declare my will. Prime Minister Lin will reward you with a thousand taels of gold and five hundred pieces of cloth for his meritorious service in controlling the floods in the south of the Yangtze River."

"Hey, the slave obeys the order."

Lin Langtian knelt down again to thank him, and then he left the imperial study room.

As soon as Lin Langtian stepped out of the imperial study, the emperor's expression darkened, and he said to Eunuch Li, "Li Quan, what do you think of Prime Minister Lin's stay in the south of the Yangtze River to treat floods?"

Eunuch Li couldn't figure out the emperor's mind, so he said cautiously: "The prime minister is dedicated to the people, it is the blessing of Beiming, and the emperor's blessing."

Unexpectedly, the emperor curled his lips, and said in a cold tone: "If Prime Minister Lin really thinks of the people wholeheartedly, so he stays in the south of the Yangtze River to deal with the floods, this is indeed the blessing of Beiming, my blessing, but what if he doesn't wholeheartedly serve the people? ?”
