Chapter 200 Cover-up
"Prime Minister!" Seeing Lin Buhuai striding over, Xiao Yin got off the carriage.
"Lin Buhuai, meet your majesty!" Lin Buhuai stepped forward and knelt down to kowtow.
"No need to be polite, get up, the Prime Minister has been working so hard these days!" Xiao Yin quickly helped him up and said, "I have heard about many decisions made by the Prime Minister along the way, and they are really good. The imperial examination is important, but recommending talents and accepting advice are more important. Otherwise, many talents will be lost!"
"His Majesty the Emperor trusts me very much. How can I let down His Majesty the Emperor's trust?" Lin Buhuai said.
"Good, very good!" Xiao Yin was naturally happy to hear Lin Buhuai say this.
Xiao Yin did not get on the carriage again. He walked on the streets of the city with Lin Buhuai.
This is no longer the capital of Beiling. Beiling is moving its capital to the south. The original imperial palace was demolished, and many things were found in the palaces of the emperor and his concubines.
"These porcelain jars and the like will all be demolished. Ironware and the like will all be melted and reforged. As for gold, silver, and jewelry, they will be collected in the national treasury and exchanged for cash to repair streets and houses." Walking all the way into the city, the newly appointed Minister of Works introduced the arrangements for the original imperial palace that had become a ruin.
"Have you ever thought about what to do with it?" Xiao Yin asked.
"Your Majesty, this ruin has been broken up, and many people don't even want these bricks. They say that they are afraid that the bricks will be stained with the souls of innocent people who were killed. They would rather live in thatched houses than accept them." The Minister of Works said.
"Well, just transport all these glazed tiles and other things out to fill the pit. You can also build some shops here later." Xiao Yin nodded.
"Amitabha, Your Majesty, I think this is actually okay. Now that the palace has been destroyed and the bricks and tiles have been transported out, everyone in the world knows about Beiling. We have rescued those who should be rescued. As for those who were injured, I will pray for them with Master Cixin and chant the mantra for them." Master Jingen stepped forward and said. "With Master Jingen praying for them
on the spot, I think those innocent adults and children will be able to go on their journey with peace of mind, and the people will also let go of their worries." Lin Buhuai said.
The emperor and his entourage all stayed in his house.
Originally, the emperor was going to stay in a restaurant, but Lin Buhuai stopped him.
"Your Majesty, you can either live in my house, or I will ask Guodong to buy another house, renovate it immediately, clean it up, and let you and the princess live there. How can I let you and the princess live in a restaurant?" Lin Buhuai said.
Lin Buhuai was an honest prime minister, but his house was not small. It could be said that it was the largest in the entire Beiling City.
Of course, all this was the credit of his two sons.
"At first, the prime minister was right to send his two sons to the northwest to do business." Xiao Yue looked at the spacious house and said, "If the two young masters were in the capital, who knows what the situation would be like now."
"Well, yes, the princess is right. When we were young, those ministers would say that we should get a good reputation when we grow up. We almost thought about just eating and waiting for official positions." Lin Guodong said with a smile.
"Father sent us to the northwest to learn how to do business. At first, we were not very happy. Doing business is not easy!" Lin Guohu said.
"But now we think that father is really smart!" Lin Guodong said.
"We heard some news along the way, which proves that the Prime Minister had already made arrangements." Ci Xin walked to the center of the courtyard, stopped, turned around and looked at the Prime Minister, and said, "When we went north, we had dinner and drank with the two young masters. At that time, the Prime Minister was reported to have passed away. At that time, I saw that the two young masters were not too sad."
"Well, you said it as if you are the smart one." Xiao Yin glanced at Ci Xin, sneered, and said.
"So, it was you who had already passed the news to the two young masters?" Ci Xin asked.
"Yes, my royal brother has already sent the letter. How come you can't guess this?" Xiao Yue was standing aside, looking at Ci Xin, and felt that this person was getting more and more stupid: "She is not as smart as my Xier. Xier has guessed it a long time ago!"
"Puchi!"
Lin Guohu laughed. He looked at Ci Xin and said, "Imperial Master Ci Xin is born with extraordinary wisdom. She must not have thought much about these trivial matters!"
"That's right!" Ci Xin raised her head slightly, turned her head to look to the side, and said, "Jingyu, what did you say to Dongju just now? Where did Dongju take little Xier?"
"Xier went to change clothes." Jingyu said.
"Oh, I knew it was you, you love to be clean. We were just in a hurry and didn't have time to take a shower. I want to take a shower too." Ci Xin looked at Lin Guodong and said, "I heard that there is a hot spring behind your house?"
"Yes, Master Guo, it's a natural hot spring. By the way, let the little princess go to the hot spring later!" Lin Guodong said, looking at Xiaoyue and said, "Your Highness, this hot spring has women's and is separated from men's!"
"Okay, I'll take Yue'er with me, and let Dongju and Jinma come with me later." Xiaoyue nodded.
She didn't care. In Cangming Mountain, she also trained with many people, and even lay on the cliff to rest when she was tired. She didn't care so much.
"Let's go, to the hot spring!" Ci Xin glanced at Xiao Yin, and was a little annoyed that Xiao Yin had contacted Lin Guodong and his brothers in private, and he didn't know anything about it.
"This guy!" Xiao Yin laughed, and then said: "I didn't think about this matter, I really should have told him."
"His Majesty the Emperor didn't want to make a big fuss at that time!" Lin Guohu said.
At that time, they made a plan to let the prime minister be poisoned when he read Bei Di's letter, and then slowly developed into cardiac arrest. As long as the body was not damaged, he would wake up after five days.
In order to conceal the truth, only Bei Di, Xiao Yin and Xiao Yue knew about it.
Ci Xin and Wen Xu went north together without knowing it. At that time, Xiao Yin was holding his little niece and heard the little niece's voice.
"The two sons of the Lin family are doing business in the northwest, and they are very powerful. If we don't let them know, they will rush back and ask for an autopsy!" "It's better
to let them know the situation and join forces with them!"
So, Xiao Yin, as the emperor of Wei, sent someone to quietly send letters to the two brothers, and by the way, there was also a letter from Beidi.
The Lin Guodong brothers were only 28 or 29 years old, and Lin Guohu was a year or two younger, but they had been in business for nearly ten years and were steady and wise.
