Chapter 574
He Changsheng's life is really boring.
The whole day is either drinking tea or reading a book, Lin Chuqian is worried about the safety of his family and feels irritable, but he is calm and content as usual.
"Since Prime Minister He has been entrusted by His Majesty, why doesn't he investigate the case as soon as possible?"
He Changsheng opened a page of the book, and answered without raising his head: "Haste makes waste, let me think it over before making a long-term plan."
The question doesn't look like he is deliberating, does he?
Lin Chuqian opened her mouth, but she had nothing to say.
A quiet room.
After a few flipping sounds, You Ran and Nan Shan came from outside the house.
"My lord, the carriage is ready."
Lin Chuqian raised her head, thinking she was about to go out to investigate the case, so she hurriedly got up after her.
He Changsheng glanced back at her, and said lightly: "Today I'm going to visit Gaofu, Miss Lin wait here quietly!"
"..." Lin Chuqian was greatly disappointed, and Shi Shiran sat back.
People go to visit their adoptive father, adoptive mother, and even the younger sister of the Gao family. She is the daughter of a criminal minister, so she should just stay honest.
He Changsheng tidied up his skirt, showing a gentle and elegant appearance. The crescent-colored robe swayed in the sun, very elegant and elegant.
Then Qingyi Piaoyang left her behind and left.
Sitting under the eaves, Lin Chuqian looked at the path outside, blinked her eyes and left Nanshan's big eyes staring small.
"Nanshan, you didn't stay here to monitor me, did you?"
Nan Shan grinned. "Miss Lin misunderstood, the young master told the young one to take good care of you."
There seems to be no difference between surveillance and care, right?
Lin Chuqian rolled her eyes. "Nanshan, don't lie to me. Is Prime Minister He worried that I will run away? Or is he worried that I will steal something?"
"Miss Lin really misunderstood." Nanshan explained sternly: "Young master kept me here to take care of you and not let other people meet you. After all, you are now a criminal arrested by the court."
Ok!
Lin Chuqian dipped her fingers in some tea and drew on the table boredly, but she just asked casually.
If He Changsheng wanted to monitor her so much, he was really afraid that she would escape, so it would be safer to stay here in Nanshan and just leave him leisurely, wouldn't it be safer?
"Miss Lin." Nan Shan stepped forward and sat beside her, smiling curiously at her. "You live under the same roof as the son, but what happened?"
This gossip face.
"What could happen?" she asked back.
"Lonely man and widow, alone in a room, dry firewood..."
Lin Chuqian quickly interrupted his imaginings, and said angrily, "Everyone is safe, a night without dreams, not as exciting as you think."
"All right!"
The boy was actually a little disappointed.
Lin Chuqian didn't bother to talk to him. Now that her family members are suffering in prison, let alone what happened with He Changsheng, even if there was, she has no time to take care of it.
The end of the new year is approaching, if there is no progress, we can only miss each other on New Year's Eve.
-
Sunny and warm.
He Changsheng walked through the corridor leisurely and calmly, with his servants leading the way by his side, as if walking in his own yard.
After passing through a small bleak bamboo forest and bypassing the stone path, a small courtyard suddenly appeared.
He stepped forward slightly and saluted the man whose back was facing him.
"Father is well."
Gao Jiang was writing and practicing calligraphy at this time, spreading the rice paper eloquently. Hearing his voice, he slowly finished writing, turned around and nodded and smiled at him.
"Chang Sheng is here."
He put the brush aside, naturally pulled him towards the tea table next to him, and said with a pleasant face: "I just happened to get some good tea recently, why don't Changsheng come and taste it with me."
"Father has a heart, Changsheng respect is worse than obedience."
The two sat down together, and the servant next to him quietly left after brewing the eyebrow tea carefully.
Gao Jiang picked up the teacup and sniffed it lightly. The tea had a long and lingering aroma. He lowered his head and sipped it lightly. It was bitter but not astringent, and the aftertaste was sweet.
After tasting it, he raised his eyes with a smile: "What does Chang Sheng think?"
"Good tea."
There is no need to taste it, just look at the tea soup to know the secret.
The two sat quietly and sipped tea. First they chatted about some trivial matters, then Gao Jiang put down his teacup and asked abruptly, "Your Majesty handed over the case of General Lin to you?"
"Exactly." He Changsheng didn't hide anything. "The matter was handed over to me for investigation the day after the incident."
"Do you have any eyebrows?"
"I haven't found anything yet." He put down his teacup and treated Gao Jiang very respectfully. "The only clue is the secret letter. Mr. Lin once said that the jade pendant box containing the secret letter was given to him by a woman in Guichunlou."
Gao Jiang nodded thoughtfully after listening. "Guichun Tower? It seems that this matter is quite complicated."
He Changsheng also nodded in agreement.
"Your Majesty forbears it, and has not come to a conclusion for a long time. Presumably, he has suspicions in his heart, and he is skeptical about the Lin family's treason case, so he ordered you to investigate the matter thoroughly."
"Changsheng knows about this." He Changsheng lowered his head slightly, waiting to listen.
"This matter has been negotiated extensively. It not only involves the important officials of the court, but also involves the Danchi royal family, Chang Sheng. If you are not careful, you may harm yourself."
Gao Jiang spoke earnestly, stood up and faced out the window. "The disaster in the Northwest is serious, and the people have been displaced. If this matter is not handled properly, it may lead to war, and then the people will be devastated and the people will not be able to live."
"Changsheng will definitely keep the words of foster father in mind."
Hearing this, Gao Jiang turned around and patted him on the shoulder, looking at his obedient appearance and chuckling.
"Your Majesty entrusted this matter to you, presumably because he has high hopes for you, and I believe you will live up to the heavy trust."
"Changsheng must live up to the expectations of His Majesty and foster father."
Gao Jiang was very pleased with him, sat down slowly and drank tea with him.
He has no children, and there have been only three daughters in the family for many years. The eldest daughter and the second daughter left the house a few years ago.Now there is only Gao Zili, the devil incarnate.
Over the years, He Changsheng has been in close contact with Gao Fu, and Gao Jiang has treated him even more generously. Although the two have no blood relationship, they are as close as father and son.
What's more, that fellow Gao Zili clamored all day long to marry him, so Gao Jiang thought he must be the prospective son-in-law and didn't run away.
Now that Zhen Youming entrusted him with the investigation of the conspiracy of the Lin family, Gao Jiang, who knew the depth of the water, naturally wanted to remind him.
He Changsheng naturally knew what he meant, so how can this matter be simply concluded as treason?
I'm afraid the relationship behind it is complicated.
Without some thought, I'm afraid I won't be able to follow the vine and uproot it.
"According to what Yifu saw, the Lin family really has the intention of treason?" He Changsheng couldn't help asking.
As an important minister of the two dynasties, Gao Jiang witnessed the suspicion and suspicion of the former emperor, and naturally also witnessed the glorious moment when Lin Pinqi was invincible in all battles.
"When the first emperor was alive, General Lin was already a minister of the court, holding a heavy army." He smiled wryly. "Ten years ago, the late emperor had not registered the East Palace, the crown prince was still undecided, court officials formed cliques, and several favored princes were trying to win over officials in private. At that time, the late emperor was well aware of this and became suspicious of many old ministers. Among them was General Lin who was already well-known at the time. He held military power and won the hearts of the people. The late emperor was quite afraid of him. Seeing that the dispute between princes was becoming more and more fierce, he found a reason to relegate him to the bitter cold frontier to guard one side. In fact, at that time, the late emperor was worried that the princes would hurt each other in the battle, and worried that General Lin would take advantage of the situation and reap the benefits of the fisherman."
Gao Jiang talked about the old affairs of the previous dynasty as if it had nothing to do with the question he asked, but from the story he told, he could hear the meaning behind his words.
If Lin Pinqi really wanted to rebel, he could have raised troops when the late emperor was still there, so why bother to suffer for decades in the remote frontier, waiting for the emperor to return to Beijing, and to plot rebellion suddenly when the court was stable Heart?
It is unreasonable.
He Changsheng pondered silently for a moment, and then asked inexplicably, "Then why did Cai and Zhang dare to falsely accuse the Lin family father and son?"
"After guarding Yizhou City, General Lin deterred the Rongdi tribe and other foreign barbarians at the border. Although there were grassroots bandits in the country, they were not successful. The generals of the Manchu Dynasty were useless. Now that General Lin has returned to the capital with his family, the border area is about to move. , especially because of the disaster in the northwest region, some small towns have been occupied by other tribes."
"If you want to send people to suppress the crusade, look at the court, who else can take on this important task except the Lin family and his son? But what should the generals in the court want to do if they want to make contributions?"
Naturally, the father and son of the Lin family who had made great military achievements were excluded.
Gao Jiang always spoke to the point, seeing that He Changsheng listened very seriously, he couldn't help but chuckle.
"The weather is bright and clear today, can we leave after dinner?"
He Changsheng was thinking about the Lin family's case, and Lin Chuqian's appearance when he ate the black buns flashed through his mind. He hesitated for a moment, but finally refused.
"There are still important things to do, please forgive me."
"Alright." Gao Jiang nodded with a smile, not reluctantly. "There are many things involved in this case, please remember to be cautious."
"Changsheng, please remember."
After bidding farewell to Gao Jiang, He Changsheng walked leisurely along the way he came.
His face was indifferent, his crescent-colored robe fluttered in the wind, and his hairband was slightly raised, but he didn't care about it.
He lowered his eyes and looked at his feet, thinking about what Gao Jiang said just now.
According to him, border wars will break out.At that time, the imperial court will need to send troops to suppress it, and everyone wants to seize such a great opportunity to make contributions.
However, father and son of mighty generals who are so powerful all over the world stand in the way, so some people have the idea of framing loyal ministers for treason?
The Cai family and the Zhang family are all generals, if they overthrow the Lin family father and son, and then go to the northwest to suppress the disaster victims and repel the foreign enemies, then when they return triumphantly, they will be able to replace Lin Pinqi and his son in their current positions.
The prosperity of the world is all for profit, and the world is all for profit.This remark really makes sense.
-
He Changsheng: The adoptive father is indeed still a foster father, and after all, only a foster father. (hey-hey)
