Chapter 85
Lin Yonghui was unable to stop him, and Lin Yongshan spoke fiercely: "It's all Lin Yonghui's fault! He took money from the leader of the Lotus Sect and came up with a bad idea to trick you back from the capital. He wanted to get the jade pendant from you, and he didn't care whether you lived or died!"
Lin Nanjie thought of someone who sneaked into the room in the dark that night and searched, and it turned out to be Lin Yonghui.
Lin Yongshan ignored Lin Yonghui's angry look and raised his voice: "He was the one who came up with this idea for my father's illness. He pocketed all the money you gave him for his treatment. I don't know where he threw it in a casino!"
Lin Yonghui sneered: "You sound so innocent. A few months ago, you also pocketed the banknotes that Lin Nanjie sent with the letter. Now you are trying to accuse me. What good intentions do you have?"
Lin Yongshan: "Bah! Don't try to turn the tables! Aren't you the closest friend to the leader of the Lotus Sect? If anyone is guilty of treason, it's you who is guilty!"
Lin Yonghui yelled at him: "Do you think you can escape again?"
The two of them were arguing loudly, neither of them willing to give in. Father Lin and Fang were getting anxious: "Stop arguing..."
Fang looked at her two sons as if they were her enemies and begged Lin Nanjie for mercy: "Can you bear to see your elder and second brothers become like this? We raised you after all, how could you arrest us?"
Father Lin tried to walk up to Lin Nanjie, but was held down by the soldiers: "Nanjie, you can't do this to us. We raised you when you were a child."
Fang cried, "You were sent here when you were a child. You were only three years old and cried every day to go back. I, an old woman, ignored my own son every night to coax you to sleep. How could you treat us like this?"
"Besides, you can't just blame us for this. Your family is a wanted criminal of the imperial court! They are going to be beheaded! We were really afraid that we would be found out, so we sent you away."
Hua Heng's face turned pale: "Then you send him to the palace to be a eunuch? Is there no other way?"
Fang wiped her face and said, "Master Jun, you are talking without any pain. This is a serious crime that will lead to the execution of the entire family! It is not something you can get away with so easily."
Li Chenghuan raised his eyebrows and said bluntly, "According to the laws of Daqi, the crime of treason does not extend beyond the five generations of mourning. You are just surnamed Lin, but the relationship is already very distant. Otherwise, I would not have asked you in the first place."
"Besides, you must have received a lot of money at the beginning."
Father Lin and Madam Fang immediately avoided looking at him.
Lin Nanjie looked at the four people of the Lin family deeply and said, "You sent me to the palace, and with the money my parents gave me, I could have lived a comfortable life. But none of you have a proper livelihood. Don't you feel bad for spending this money?"
The Lin family looked evasive: "The palace is better than here. You have saved a lot of money."
Li Chenghuan's face darkened little by little, his eyes were cold, it would not be a pity if this family died a thousand times.
Hua Heng clenched his fists: "I came to look for it, what did you say? You told me it died!"
The Lin family members dared not say a word.
"Life in the palace is like living with a tiger."
Lin Nanjie's eyes were cold, not giving them any chance to explain.
"When he saw the thousands of taels of silver, he accepted me without hesitation. But when he found out that my house had been ransacked, he sent me away because he was afraid of getting into trouble after stealing the silver."
"In the beginning, sending him to the palace was not the only option. There was even a childless couple who were willing to adopt him, but you still refused. In the end, you decided to send him to the palace, thinking that the most dangerous place is the safest place, and that being a eunuch would not cause any trouble. Once you enter the palace, it is like entering a deep sea. You might die in the palace one day, and there would be no need to collect your body."
"You embezzled a lot of money to build your current house, but because you were addicted to gambling, you squandered all your wealth. Soon you were left with nothing. The four of you in your family had no proper livelihood and spent your days doing nothing."
"Then the Lotus Cult came to me and offered me a large sum of money, so they set a trap to lure me back. As for whether I would live or die, you didn't care at all. As long as I got the money, everything would be fine."
"Am I wrong?"
Hua Heng was surprised by Lin Nanjie's momentum.
The Lin family was speechless, especially when they were exposed in public. They were simply dumbfounded: "You...how did you know?"
They haven't seen each other for more than ten years. Lin Nanlie is in the capital and they are in Qianzhou, tens of thousands of miles apart. How does Lin Nanlie know everything so clearly?
Lin Nanjie's face was cold: "If you don't want others to know, then don't do it yourself."
Hua Heng never wanted to see this shameless family again, so he waved his hand and asked his men to take them away.
The Lin family was taken away in disgrace. Fang said bitterly, "If you hadn't held on to the jade pendant tightly, there wouldn't be so many problems now. It's all you who ruined our family!"
Li Chengqian's face darkened. "Take him back and investigate his relationship with the Lotus Sect. Imprison him in the prefecture prison and interrogate him strictly. Do not let him go without authorization."
Several people burst into tears.
After taking care of Lin Yonghui's family, they returned to Washington and happened to meet Bai Zhang.
Lin Nanjie saw Bai Zhang coming back sweating and covered in dust, "Master Bai, what happened to you?"
Bai Zhang sat down and gulped down a cup of cold tea. "It took me a while to find it. Following the path of San Nanxing, I found an abandoned yard."
Lin Nanqi was immediately attracted and poured another cup of tea for Bai Zhang: "Yard?"
Bai Zhang nodded. "It's in the forest area northeast of Qianzhou. There's a long-abandoned yard. It looks like someone has always lived there. But when I took people there, it was empty."
Hua Heng looked serious: "It seems that the other party has been planning this for a long time."
Li Chengqian: "What else?"
Bai Zhang chuckled: "It's not that I didn't get anything. I dug out some medicinal residue from the newly loosened soil behind the house, and I brought it along as well."
Bai Zhang put the medicine residue on the table. Lin Nanqie went over to take a look. Although he didn't know much about medicine, he could tell that there were many kinds of medicine residue, many of which he had never seen before. He did recognize some ginseng. "It's a new medicine. It was just boiled not long ago. How sick is this person? He used such a strong medicine."
"They are all still alive. I think they were seriously ill and were saved by expensive herbs. And the serious illness was not just one or two days, it must have lasted for at least two or three years."
"Not only that..." Bai Zhang paused, and subconsciously looked at Li Chenghuan, "There are many things in this medicine that are used to remove the remaining poison in the pill."
Residual poison in the elixir?
Everyone present was stunned.
When it comes to elixirs, they can only think of two people.
The late emperor and the deposed crown prince.
Lin Nan subconsciously looked at Li Chenghuan's expression.
[After the previous emperor passed away, he was buried in the imperial mausoleum. Moreover, he was so old, his body had long been hollowed out by the elixir, and he was at the end of his rope. It was also diagnosed by the Imperial Medical Office, so it couldn't be the previous emperor.]
[Could it be the deposed prince? ]
[No way? Can a dead person still be a corpse? ]
Lin Nanqi thought of something and suddenly felt uncertain.
Li Chengqian's face was expressionless: "Continue to investigate."
Hua Heng and Bai Zhang accepted the order: "Yes."
Li Chengjue handed over the affairs of Qianzhou and prepared to return to Beijing. Hua Heng still had to continue investigating the weapons in Qianzhou and would come to Beijing after some time. However, before leaving, he pulled Lin Nanjie aside and talked a lot, the main point of which was that Li Chengjue should not be allowed to succeed too early.
Lin Nanjie: ...I'm afraid it has succeeded.
***
On the way back to Beijing, the carriage traveled from Qianzhou towards Hangzhou.
The weather was still a little hot. Liao Baifan was leading the way. In the front carriage sat Fang Wenjue, Wang Hui and Bai Zhang, and in the back sat Li Chenghuan and Lin Nanjie.
Lin Nanqi opened the car window curtain to let the wind in, then leaned against it and took a rest with his eyes slightly closed.
It was spring when I left Beijing, and now it is midsummer.
Li Chenghuan looked at Lin Nanjie's quiet profile, his palms slightly sweating: "I want to tell you something."
Xinyin's matter can no longer be kept secret.
"Actually, I can hear what you are saying..."
Lin Nan's silk thread did not move at all.
Li Chenghuan was startled and reached out to touch Lin Nanjie's fair cheek.
Lin Nanjie even rubbed his fingers unconsciously.
Li Chenghuan's breathing became lighter.
Good boy, I don't have the heart to disturb you.
Why don't we wait until you wake up?
Li Chenghuan sat next to Lin Nanjie and slowly moved his head onto his shoulder.
Just when the years were peaceful, Lin Nanjie's heart voice suddenly came:
[Dog Emperor... Liar...]
Li Chenghuan's heart skipped a beat. His Adam's apple moved subconsciously, and he asked tentatively, "What would you do if you found out that he was hiding something from you?"
[Hidden...?]
[…Then you’re dead…]
Li Chenghuan's breath was choked, and he dared not move for a moment.
I always feel like it will be serious.
Lin Nanjie woke up slowly after arriving at the inn.
At first he was indeed pretending to be asleep, but he felt too comfortable leaning on the emperor's shoulder and accidentally fell asleep.
There were not many vacant rooms in the inn, so they had to make do. Li Chenghuan naturally shared a room with Lin Nan. The others were used to it, and Fang Wenjue and Wang Hui even turned a blind eye.
At night, the two slept on the same bed, and Li Chengqian wanted to bring up the past again: "There is something I want to tell you."
Lin Nanjie squirmed in the quilt and turned over to face him. The thin quilt covered her chin, leaving only the upper half of her face exposed. Her pair of dark eyes glowed slightly as she looked at Li Chenghuan.
Lin Nanjie, who was lying obediently in the quilt, was too pretty. Li Chenghuan was attracted by her eyes and almost forgot what he wanted to say.
Lin Nanjie spoke softly: "What does the emperor want to say?"
Lin Nanjie was particularly well-behaved today, and his eyes seemed to contain thousands of points of light.
Li Chenghuan held his wrist and said, "Actually, I can hear your thoughts."
Lin Nanqi was startled at first, then blinked slowly: "Did you hear that I wanted to kiss you?"
The love words were so straightforward that even Li Chengqian couldn't resist them.
The grip on Lin Nanjie's wrist suddenly tightened, his breathing quickened, and he raised his hand to hold the back of Lin Nanjie's head, giving her a gentle kiss, which then slowly deepened.
After the kiss, both of them were slightly out of breath.
Li Chenghuan's thoughts returned to his mind, and his eyes were blank for a moment.
When did you say that?
No, Lin Nanlie thought he was joking.
Li Chengqian fell into self-blame and depression.
Lin Nanjie was too naive and never thought that his thoughts were heard by him.
How could he hide it from him?
Lin Nanjie took in Li Chenghuan's expression, and when he wasn't paying attention, he smiled a triumphant smile.
Li Chenghuan was even more attentive to Lin Nanjie, but along the way, he didn't find a chance to confess.
After traveling quickly all the way and then taking water transportation, they finally returned to the capital after more than a month.
After passing the city gate, Lin Nanqi opened the curtain and saw the bustling and prosperous scene along the way, which moved her heart.
【Finally back! 】
In comparison, he still prefers the capital.
The court and the public were also shocked by the emperor's return to the capital. When the carriage arrived at the gate of the imperial palace, Feng Yuanxiu came with civil and military officials to greet him. A large number of people knelt on the ground, and there were excited people on both sides.
After all, you don't see the emperor every day.
Under everyone's eyes, the accompanying guards placed the stools in a well-trained manner, the curtain was opened by a bony hand, and a man with an unparalleled handsome face and a domineering demeanor walked down.
All the civil and military officials knelt down immediately and said, "Long live the emperor!"
Li Chengqian got out of the car and raised his hand: "My dear ministers, please stand up."
Just as a group of ministers got up from the ground, the curtain of the carriage was lifted again. The ministers who loved gossip all looked over, with gossipy looks surging in their eyes.
Could it be the beauty that the emperor brought back from Jiangnan?
Not bad, not bad, the Jiangnan style is indeed charming. The emperor allowed them to write letters to the emperor asking for more children but refused to expand his harem. As a result, he went to the south and brought back beauties.
Look, this little hand is white and tender, she must be a beautiful girl!
When the curtain was lifted and the true face of the person in the carriage was revealed, everyone took a deep breath.
Lin...Eunuch Lin!
Feng Yuanxiu's old face almost came to his senses, and he subconsciously looked at Li Chenghuan, with a hint of fear in his eyes.
Tai, Tai eunuch!
Lin Nanqi got out of the carriage and met the gazes of the ministers. He complained in his heart: "I told you not to ride in the same carriage to the Meridian Gate. If the ministers saw me riding in the same carriage with the dog emperor, I would never be able to clear myself even if I jumped into the Yellow River."
Li Chengqian also felt very innocent. Lin Nanjie was sleeping so soundly that he couldn't bear to wake her up.
Lin Nanjie walked to Li Chenghuan's side, met Feng Yuanxiu's gaze, and bowed: "Master Feng, how are you?"
Feng Yuanxiu came back to his senses after a while, and his mouth, which was always good at making plans, could only repeat: "Nothing is wrong, nothing is wrong."
Li Chengqi said to everyone: "Return to the court immediately. I have something to announce."
The hall was solemn and solemn, with all the civil and military officials present. Li Chenghuan had changed into a bright yellow dragon robe and sat on the dragon throne. Next to him was Wang Dehai, who had not been seen for a long time. When he saw Li Chenghuan, he almost burst into tears.
Lin Nanjie knelt in the main hall, listening to Li Chenghuan's imperial edict.
"During the reign of the previous emperor, the general of Qianzhou, Lin Rujian, was falsely accused of treason and his entire family was executed. Now I have ordered people to investigate the true story of that year. It turns out that someone falsely accused him and made a report to the previous emperor."
When Li Chengqian suddenly mentioned the long-dead Lin Rujian, all the civil and military officials were surprised. Some young officials were not even familiar with the name, and only Feng Yuanxiu, Wang Wenhe, and Zheng Yongnian, the old officials, showed shocked expressions.
Wang Wenhe's face was a little shaken, and he stepped out of the line: "Your Majesty, this matter is of great importance, it is not a joke."
The Censorate also had some credit for the impeachment of Lin Rujian. Wang Wenhe was only a sixth-rank official at the time, but he had also handled this case. The evidence was solid, so how could the case be suddenly overturned 17 years later?
Li Chengqian raised his hand: "Bai Zhang, you go ahead and talk."
Wang Wenhe was even more shocked. Bai Zhang was his subordinate and he also knew about this.
However, thinking about the fact that the emperor had gone on a private visit in disguise, passing through Hangzhou Prefecture and Qianzhou Prefecture, and had removed many corrupt officials, it would make sense if he found out that Lin Rujian's family had been executed unjustly in Qianzhou.
Bai Zhang told the story one by one, and all the civil and military officials in the court were shocked and silent.
I didn't expect that the incident back then would cause such a huge uproar, but it was also full of injustice.
Feng Yuanxiu sighed. He had urged the late emperor to think twice, but he could not stand the slander of the villain.
Li Chengqian looked at the reactions of the ministers and said in a deep voice: "Now that the truth has been revealed, Lin Rujian's family is innocent. Daqi owes them an explanation. What do you think, my dear ministers?"
The ministers looked at each other in bewilderment. Wang Wenhe said, "Since this is an injustice, it should be announced to the world and redressed. As the Minister of the Censorate, I should take this as a warning and be careful in the future."
Zheng Yongnian sighed: "To this day, Lin Rujian has no descendants. This lineage has been cut off. It is really sad."
The Minister of Revenue Lu Jingyao also nodded and said, "If the youngest son of the Lin family were still alive, he would have been old enough to study for the imperial examinations. What a pity."
Fang Wenjue said calmly, "If the youngest son of the Lin family were still alive, the court would definitely compensate him generously. What do you think?"
Bai Zhang immediately responded: "Of course, since the court owes Lin Rujian's family, it should naturally compensate them."
Others agreed: "That's exactly what it should be."
Li Chenghuan nodded with satisfaction: "In this case, I should compensate the youngest son of the Lin family."
Upon hearing this, all the civil and military officials understood the meaning of the words, and were immediately surprised and looked at each other.
"So, the youngest son of the Lin family is still alive?"
"That's impossible. At that time, all of Lin Rujian's family members were killed. That's impossible, right?"
Li Chengqian raised his hand: "Xuanlin's youngest son, enter the palace!"
Wang Dehai shouted to the outside of the palace: "Xuan Lin's youngest son, enter the palace!"
Everyone scratched their heads and tried to turn around quietly to see who it was. However, they had to consider the etiquette of attending court and the etiquette of being an official and could not act rashly.
A figure slowly walked up the steps outside the hall.
People's curiosity reached its extreme, as if there were claws biting them.
I don’t know what the youngest son of the Lin family who escaped death looks like?
The man walked slowly into the hall, and everyone took a breath of cool air.
The man had a handsome face and bright eyes. After leaving Beijing for several months, he changed into ordinary casual clothes and looked like a young man from a noble family.
Lin...Eunuch Lin!
It’s Lin Nanjie again!
The eyes of all the civil and military officials widened. Lin Nanye? Wasn't he the eunuch in the palace?
He is actually the descendant of Lin Rujian!
No wonder I was able to ride in the same carriage with the Emperor. It turns out there was this connection.
Thinking about it this way, it does make sense.
The fact that the emperor and the descendants of the wrongly accused Lin Rujian rode in the same carriage showed the emperor's generosity and kindness.
Even Wang Dehai's eyes widened. What a brat Lin Nanjie!
Lin Nanqi saw the surprised looks in the eyes of the gentlemen, walked to the front of the palace and knelt down: "I pay my respects to the emperor, may he live long."
Li Chenghuan smiled faintly: "Stand up."
Then, he said to all the officials: "I have thought about it and feel that we should make up for it. Lin Nanjie is the son of Lin Rujian and a descendant of a loyal hero. From today on, Lin Nanjie will be appointed as the Left Assistant of the Censorate."
As soon as the words fell, the court was in an uproar.
The Left Assistant Censor of the Censorate is a fifth-rank official, and his duty is to supervise all officials!
Someone immediately said, "Reporting to the Emperor, is it too hasty to appoint him as the Left Assistant to the Chief Justice of the Censorate? Even if the Emperor wants to make up for it, it would be better for him to enter the Hanlin Academy first and follow the Jinshi of this year for a while before being appointed."
"That makes sense. After all, Lin Nan has never participated in the imperial examinations, and he was previously a former eunuch. I'm afraid it's not appropriate for him to be promoted to a fifth-rank official right away. Your Majesty, please think twice."
"Besides, after all, he is a eunuch. If this precedent is set, the government will be in chaos in the future!"
Li Chengqian looked at everyone and said, "So, if he is not a eunuch, then you think it is feasible?"
The leaders said, "That's right. Important positions in the imperial court cannot be held by eunuchs!"
Li Chengqian raised his eyebrows: "He is indeed not a traitor."
The ministers were shocked. Wasn't Lin Nanjie an eunuch?
"How...how is it possible?"
Li Chengqian: "Summon the imperial physician for examination."
The chief judge of the Imperial Hospital was invited over, and after verifying the facts, he immediately reported: "Your Majesty, all ministers, Lin Nanjie is indeed not an imperial convict."
Li Chengqian: "Can you guys rest assured now?"
The people who opposed looked at each other.
Li Chengqian continued slowly, "So, you all think that the disaster of the Lin family's demise is not even as serious as a fifth-rank position?"
After this was said, people were at a loss for words.
The ministers were speechless and could only turn their eyes to Wang Zhongcheng.
Mr. Wang, please say something.
Didn't you say the other day that the person for the position of Zuo Qiandu Yushi should be carefully selected?
Aren't you the one who is least afraid of challenging the Emperor on weekdays?
How come you didn't say anything about such an unruly thing?
This was the first time that Wang Zhongcheng had something to hide in the court.
It's not that he doesn't want to say anything, it's just that he can't say anything.
Actually, the Censorate was also at fault in this matter, as it failed to detect and admonish the situation in time, leading to the tragedy of Lin Rujian's family.
He couldn't even lift his head.
Not to mention that he had some opinions about Lin Nanjie before, Wang Zhongcheng felt that he could not save his face.
There is really no position to stop Lin Nanjie.
Finally, Li Chengqian made the final decision: "It's settled. Lin Nanjie will take up his post at the Metropolitan Censorate tomorrow."
After the court session, Lin Nanjie followed Li Chenghuan back to the Purple Palace. After being away for several months, returning to the Purple Palace felt both strange and familiar.
Li Chenghuan went to Nuan Pavilion to handle government affairs, leaving Lin Nanjie to talk to others.
The other eunuchs all gathered around, and Wang Dehai was even more surprised and happy: "Good boy, now you are an official."
Originally, Wang Dehai felt that Lin Nanjie had a clear conscience, was a kind person, and would not hesitate to flatter the emperor. He was an excellent candidate to become a eunuch, and he was thinking of letting Lin Nanjie take over his position.
Who would have thought that such an earth-shattering event would happen after a few months of separation.
He Xiu was also extremely surprised: "I never thought that you are the descendant of Lin Rujian. It's like listening to an opera."
Lin Nanqi lowered his head in embarrassment: "I only found out about this when I returned to Qianzhou this time."
Wang Dehai sighed: "That's good. Now that your injustice has been redressed and you have been promoted to an official position, the emperor will probably grant you a new residence. You won't be able to stay in the palace anymore."
Lin Nanjie was grateful for Wang Dehai's kindness and said sincerely: "Thank you for your care in the past, Grandpa. I will always remember your kindness in my heart."
Wang Dehai smiled and said, "Good boy."
After talking with Wang Dehai and others, Lin Nan entered the warm pavilion and said, "Your Majesty, I, your humble servant, pay my respects to Your Majesty."
As soon as she finished speaking, Li Chenghuan pulled her to sit on his lap.
"I have shown you several houses, but after thinking it over again, I think it is tiring to go to court in the morning, and it is far from outside the palace. It would be more convenient to live in the palace." Li Chenghuan kissed Lin Nanjie's lips and persuaded her gently.
Lin Nanqi immediately became alert, pushed Li Chenghuan's shoulder, and said righteously: "This is not good. I am willing to leave the palace. It is too unruly for me to stay in the palace."
Guessing that Lin Nanjie was unwilling to continue living in the palace, Li Chenghuan said, "Well, I'll take you to see the house."
The two of them left the palace in a low profile and arrived at a house not far from Anhua Gate. The house looked small from the outside, but after walking in, they found a different world. The house had three entrances, including the front yard, the inner yard, and the back yard. When Hua Heng came to Beijing, it was more than enough for two people to live there.
The housekeeper stepped forward and said, "I have seen the emperor and Lord Lin. My name is Li Dai. Lord Liao hired me to be a housekeeper. If you have anything to do in the future, just tell me."
Lin Nanjie didn't expect that Li Chenghuan would even consider the steward, and he was a little touched: "Thank you, Your Majesty."
Li Chenghuan's eyes moved slightly: "Would you be scared living here alone? Why don't I accompany you tonight?"
Lin Nanjie: [……]
Lin Nanjie pushed him away firmly: "No."
[Just after returning to Beijing, they are already flirting with each other and not staying out all night. This is not good. 】
Li Chengqian felt very regretful. If he had known earlier, he would have asked for more benefits on the way back. Now that he was back in the capital, he had to sleep alone again.
Lin Nanjie didn't care and stayed happily in the yard.
***
The next day, just after 9 pm, Lin Nanjie heard someone calling in his ear.
"My lord, my lord, it's time to go to court."
Lin Nanqi opened his eyes dazedly. It turned out to be Manager Li calling him outside the door. He suddenly woke up from his sleepiness, got out of bed and opened the door: "Manager Li, good morning!"
Li Dai smiled and said, "It's getting late, sir. I have already asked someone to prepare the carriage. Please wash up and have breakfast first."
Li Dai was calm and thoughtful in his work. Lin Nanjie responded immediately, "Okay, thank you, Uncle Li."
After washing up, Li Dai took out a brand new purple official uniform and helped Lin Nanjie put it on.
Lin Nanjie fastened his official uniform, put on his black official hat, looked in the mirror, and was stunned.
He was used to wearing blue eunuch's clothes, but now he changed into purple court clothes, which made him look much more energetic.
It is reasonable to suspect that the dog emperor was tired of green and blue, so he specially conferred him a fifth-rank official title.
After finishing breakfast, Lin Nanjie got on the carriage, and the servant drove the carriage steadily all the way towards the Meridian Gate.
It was still dawn in the capital city. The misty sky in the east was just beginning to show some light, and the streets were still silent.
Lin Nanjie was still a little sleepy, so he yawned and leaned back in the carriage to rest.
Lin Nanjie arrived a little early and ran into Bai Zhang at the gate of the Meridian Gate. The two exchanged a few pleasantries and Bai Zhang chatted with him for a while: "Lord Lin, this is your first time attending court. Don't be too nervous. Apart from the personnel changes in Qianzhou, nothing major has happened recently. The court should be relatively peaceful."
Lin Nanjie nodded in agreement.
"Also," Bai Zhang lowered his voice, "If something really happens, Lord Wang will come forward. Lord Wang looks fierce, but he is actually cold on the outside but warm on the inside. You will understand after getting to know him for a long time."
Before Lin Nanjie could say anything, he was interrupted by a voice.
"Bo Zhang, what are you planning behind my back?"
Lin Nanjie and Bai Zhang both turned around and saw Wang Zhongcheng standing behind them.
Bai Zhang begged for mercy: "Sir Wang, I dare not slander you. I only said good things."
Wang Wenhe snorted coldly.
Wang Zhongcheng is Lin Nanjie's current boss. Lin Nanjie bowed and said, "I have met Lord Wang."
Wang Wenhe looked at the young man in front of him. He had been out of the capital and knew the ups and downs of his life, but he was not tainted with hostility. He was still peaceful and clean, which was rare among ordinary people. Wang Wenhe nodded slightly, but his face was still serious: "You have just entered the officialdom. Although it is a gift from the emperor, you must be in your position and do your job. You must not be careless or slack."
Lin Nanjie's expression gradually became serious.
Although Wang Wenhe's words were harsh, Lin Nanlie knew that he was willing to treat him as a subordinate and was willing to teach him the true meaning of being an official.
"I will keep in mind what you said, sir."
At the hour of Mao, everyone was present and a bright yellow figure appeared. Before Li Chenghuan sat on the dragon chair, he subconsciously looked down and saw Lin Nanjie in the sixth row.
The red official uniform really suited his complexion, and Li Chengqian was immediately satisfied.
Seeing Lin Nanjie trying hard to open his eyes wide, holding the tablet with a serious and solemn expression, a hint of smile in Li Chengqian's eyes inadvertently flashed across his face.
Then he sat on the dragon chair.
Wang Dehai hadn't stood in this position for a long time, and he was still a little uncomfortable. He stretched out his voice: "Going to court——"
All the civil and military officials knelt down in unison to pay their respects. Lin Nanjie stood in the crowd and knelt down to pay his respects as well.
"Long live the emperor!"
Li Chengqian's deep and pleasant voice rang out: "My dear ministers, please stand up."
Lin Nanjie stood up along with everyone else. When he raised his head, he exchanged glances with Li Chenghuan who was sitting on the dragon throne.
Then quickly move away.
"My dear ministers, do you have anything to report?"
