Chapter 882 Where Are the Ancient Generals Now? The Yangtze River Flows Empty Outside the Threshold

The next day, the twenty-fifth day of the twelfth lunar month, the sky was filled with dark clouds, indicating that the mountains and rivers in the south would usher in the first snow of winter.

Sister Chen got up very late because she had a bad sleep last night and didn't fall asleep until dawn.

When she left the room, she was suddenly stunned.

Outside her door, several sisters stood quietly. An Ye, Lu Yi, Cui Ying, and even Qiu Shui Hua Ping came downstairs.

Sister Chen was surprised: "What happened?"

Green Yi took a step lightly: "Sister Chen, we know what day it is today, and my husband also knows it."

Lin Su came from the room, dressed in white like snow, and gently hugged her shoulders: "Today is the day your parents died. On this day in previous years, you stayed in your room alone and paid homage to your parents quietly. Today I I want to tell you that over at Luoying Mountain, a tomb has been built and a monument has been erected for your parents, and we will accompany you to Luoying Mountain to pay a formal tribute."

Sister Chen's tears flowed down without warning...

Qianjimen received the task of building the Ming Tomb ten years ago. Her mother smashed the Qianji Lantern, the most precious treasure of Qianji, and falsely accused her of it. She broke her legs and kicked her out of Qianjimen. From then on, she became a rootless duckweed. .

She was despairing, and she didn't understand why, until her mother appeared by her side that night and told her that this was to protect her and to leave some blood for Qianjimen.

Mother guessed right. After the Ming Tomb was built, Ji Shang destroyed all the Qianji Sect members. She, a member of the Qianji Sect who had been exiled far away, was able to remain anonymous from then on.

She had also been to Luoying Mountain, where her parents were buried, but she did not dare to get close. She only dared to look at the place where her parents were buried in Luoxia Mountain, which was further away.

But now, Ji Shang stepped down, Xianggong supported King Chen to ascend the throne, and the world situation changed drastically.

She had also thought about whether to go to Luoying Mountain to formally worship her parents, but she had never made up her mind because Qianjimen was involved in the crime of treason, and the implication was very serious. It doesn't matter if she is involved, but there is the Lin family behind her!

The Lin family suddenly rose up and stood out in the entire empire. As the saying goes, if a tree is more beautiful than a tree, the wind will destroy it. She does not want to cause trouble to the Lin family because of her own reasons, no matter how big or small the trouble is.

However, the sisters finally found out.

My husband finally found out.

Not only did he know about it, but he also took action and arranged for people to build tombs and erect monuments for his parents and disciples...

"Ms. sir, I...my parents are involved in the crime of rebellion. I...I don't want to..."

Lin Su gently wiped away her tears: "I know you don't want to cause trouble for me. I know you have stood by my side without any distractions every step of the way. But I also told you that your The matter is my business, and your Majesty has already made a final decision on your parents' matter. Today's worship will include not only us, but also the Ministry of Punishment."

Green Yi said: "Sister Chen, let's go. Your parents and your brothers and sisters have been waiting for this day for too long."

A scroll in Qiu Shui Hua Ping's hand opened, and a long road appeared, with light flowing on both sides of the long road. Everyone stepped onto this long road, and in just a moment, they crossed three thousand miles.

This is probably the only place where Qiu Shui Huaping is better than Lin Su.

Her way of painting is integrated with the "Qiankun Mountains and Rivers". The so-called "Qiankun Mountains and Rivers" and "Thousands of Miles of Mountains and Rivers" are all in one thought. Her ability to draw the way is even better than that of Lin Su's literary world.

On the outskirts of Beijing, to the north of Ming Tomb, is Luoying Mountain.

The mountains are like flying eagles, white tombs are floating all over the mountains, and half of the mountains are connected with the dark clouds in the sky.

A magnificent tomb was erected in the middle of the mountain. Sister Chen's heart skipped a beat: "Ms. sir, these regulations..."

She wanted to say that this regulation was over the top. Even for making a tomb, there were rules for making a tomb. An ordinary tomb only required an eight-foot tomb and a three-foot platform. However, Luoying Mountain was half a mountain.

"You'll know later!" Lin Su patted her hand gently.

After the light from the painting cleared, the soldiers from the two groups in front bowed at the same time, and the two senior officials saluted at the same time: "Welcome King Wen!"

The person on the left, a second-rank official, is Deng Qing, the newly appointed Minister of Rites, and the person on the right is Qiu Mochi, the left minister of the Ministry of Punishments.

"Let's start!" Lin Su said.

The ceremony begins...

Led by Deng Qing and Qiu Mochi, a group of imperial honor guards went to the main tomb and stopped in front of a huge monument.

Qiu Mochi stretched out his hand and unfolded a ruling from the Ministry of Punishment: "...After review by the Ministry of Punishment, the Qianjimen rebellion is completely false!"

Sister Chen's heart skipped a beat, as the crime of Qianjimen's rebellion was eliminated.

Before the matter was over, Deng Qing, the Minister of Rites, stepped out with an imperial edict in front of him...

"Preach our emperor's imperial edict!"

Sister Chen and everyone behind her knelt down at the same time, Lin Su bowed slightly...

"In accordance with the destiny of heaven, the emperor issued an edict: In the past, there was Qianjimen. They built cities to defend against foreign enemies, built mausoleums to protect the emperor, and made weapons to benefit the battlefield. They performed great contributions to the world and benefited the court. Wouldn't it be painful if they were destroyed despite injustice? ? I obey the destiny and do not feel cold about the dead. I specially decree that Chen Xixiang, the late master of Qianji Sect, is granted the title of Snow Marquis of Da Cang Zhaoxue, and Chen Si, the orphan of Qianji Sect, is granted the title of Lord of Qianji County, and that he is granted the title of Luoying Mountain. I hereby express my gratitude. .”

With tears streaming down her face, Sister Chen accepted the imperial edict and thanked the emperor for his kindness.

After she followed Lin Su, she didn't care whether she was a slave, but His Majesty did!

In His Majesty's dictionary, Sister Chen is a very special character. She is the closest connection between the Lin Mansion and Prince Chen's Mansion in Meiling. Whenever Lin Su enters Prince Chen's Mansion, Sister Chen is always with him. Sister Chen is involved in every step of the Ding Palace. This is the power of Conglong!

Therefore, after Your Majesty ascended the throne, there was no need for Sister Chen to speak, nor for Lin Su to speak. He had already arranged everything, and arranged for the Ministry of Punishment to review the Qianjimen's extermination case. Knowing that it was Ji Shang's plan to cover up the emperor's murder, the investigation was quickly completed. This investigation required Zhao Xue to be vindicated. Therefore, His Majesty gave Sister Chen's father the title of Marquis, and by the way gave Chen the title of Marquis. My sister's title as a county lord and her status as a slave (which everyone had long ignored) were cleared away in a legitimate and legal manner.

Lin Su took up his pen and inscribed the title of the monument himself.

There are ten words about the tomb of Chen Xixiang, the Marquis of Zhaoxue in the Cang Dynasty. He relied on the literary pen and the cultivation of the literary world as the basis. The light of the literary world covers ten miles away. This tombstone is not close to mosquitoes or flies, nor is it close to snakes and insects. Nearby, within a hundred feet, thirty white plum blossoms are blooming, and ninety-nine pines and cypresses are green.

Sister Chen knelt on the altar and did not raise her head for a long time.

Behind her, Lin Su, An Ye, Lu Yi, Cui Ying, and Qiu Shui Huaping all bowed.

This was a small incident on the twenty-fifth day of the twelfth lunar month, but it was a major event that fulfilled Sister Chen’s ten-year wish. Sister Chen always stood behind Lin Su, thinking only about the Lin family and never seeking anything for herself. She doesn't want even a small villa by Yichuan Lake because she has no family members. Now, Lin Su, Ji Guang, and her sisters have done something for her, giving her parents a place to stay and the name of justice. .

Sister Chen was filled with gratitude.

After the worship, Sister Chen followed everyone back to Haining. Luo Ying Mountain has since become the place where her parents have settled. But she is still a Haining native. Haining is her peaceful place!

After three thousand journeys, she still had one thought. After arriving in Haining, Qiushui Huaping hugged Sister Chen gently, picked up her pen and drew another nine-curved corridor. She still chose to return to Qiushui Villa for the New Year.

Although An Ye said that the "married daughter" had to spend the New Year at her husband's house, which made her a little entangled, but thinking about the family rules of Qiushui Villa and the face of her parents, she still made a breakthrough. She and everyone else The difference is that her relationship with Lin Su has always been in the dark, but she is still a lady in public, so she has to go.

She left, the girls also withdrew, and Lin Su walked along the river embankment with Sister Chen...

Today is a special day. The sisters gave her and Lin Su a special space...

"Ms. sir, thank you!" Sister Chen gently hugged his waist.

Lin Su gently stroked her hair: "I should be the one thanking you."

"Why?"

"Because you were always by my side when I was at my lowest. No matter how the world changes, you are always the same."

"No, sir, that's not true. I have changed! Before I met you, I was just a lowly slave. I was even a piece of duckweed with half of its leaves missing. It was you who picked me up from the mud pit. It was you who transformed me into a slave." I became a princess..."

"Even if I really dote on you, it's because you're worth it!"

Sister Chen groaned and hugged him tightly: "Today is the twenty-fifth day of the twelfth lunar month. Every year, today is the day when my parents shed tears, but this year, they will not shed tears, they will only laugh... Mr. sir, you know Really? I dreamed of my mother last night, and she was looking at me and smiling..."

Lin Su suddenly raised his hand, and his royal seal appeared in his palm.

In the King's Seal, Zhang Haoran's shadow appears...

"Brother Lin, I have some news for you." Zhang Haoran said.

"Say it."

"The treason case has concluded today. Sixteen senior officials, including Lu Tiancong, and their subordinates, a total of 312 people, will be executed in the afternoon."

"Today?" Lin Su was slightly shocked.

"Yes, His Majesty said that this year's work is over. Today is the last court meeting, and the last thing of the year will be done. Do you want to see the execution site?"

"No need!" Lin Su said.

"After all, they are your longest-lasting opponents since you entered the officialdom. Today they finally come to an end. Are you feeling a little emotional?" Zhang Haoran said.

Of course there is emotion. Lin Su looked at the sky and chanted casually: "The clouds and shadows in the leisure pool are long and leisurely. Things have changed and the stars have moved several autumns. Where are the generals and generals in the past? Outside the threshold, the Yangtze River flows empty!"

Zhang Haoran praised the verses: "Brother Lin's casual poem conveys the truth that prosperity is easy to fall and the general trend is hard to change. It is truly wonderful. I should take this poem to the execution ground and read it to them...Brother Lin knows that Lu Tian Do you have any words for Brother Lin?"

"What to say?"

"Lu Tiancong said that he died because of Brother Lin and had hatred for Brother Lin. However, more than 800 members of the Lu family also survived because of Brother Lin. He asked his little brother to bring you a message: The grudges have been wiped out from now on. Volume, I hope there is no way to go and plant the wine flag."

After the communication ended, Lin Su slowly raised his eyes, the clouds were rolling in the sky, and the Yangtze River was rushing outside the embankment...

When you step into the world, there will always be many people, either hating or resenting, close or distant...

Time is like running water, with big waves and sand wash away. Some people have existed, but they will eventually go away...

Lu Tiancong, Song Du, He Jingjun...

Each and every high-ranking official was entangled in his path, and finally fell under the general trend of the times.

This is what Lin Su said, where are the generals in the past and now? Outside the threshold, the Yangtze River flows freely!

Lu Tiancong, one of his main rivals, hated him to the core when the prosperity came to an end. However, Lin Su's "Law" gave him a chance for more than 800 people in the Lu family to survive.

He also gave Lin Su a message, and the grudges were wiped out!

He also left a sigh that no one can understand. There is no way out to plant the wine flag. If there is an afterlife, I, Lu Tiancong, may not be this choice. I may sing to you over wine!

This is probably the deepest struggle in his heart.

He also appreciates Lin Su's talent, and he also admires Lin Su's methods. If his position had not been solidified, and if he still had a way out, he would be willing to have a drinking and singing song with Lin Su. However, there are no ifs in life, and they will always be enemies. He His road has come to an end, and he has no chance to reconstruct his vision of life...

The Spring Festival process has officially begun.

There are similarities and differences with last year.

The same thing is that Lin Su still wrote a couplet, made a lot of food in the kitchen, Xiao Yao still looked for fresh food in Haining, New Year's Eve was still full of family atmosphere, and red envelopes were still received on the first day of the first lunar month. Send it over and over again...

There are many differences...

First, the Lin family courtyard has been renovated, and all the windows are equipped with glass. The ancient house looks magnificent.

The second is that ancestor worship is more grand in the New Year. It is this year that Lin Zheng is made a marquis as a commander, this year that Lin Jialiang is made a frontier official, this year that Lin Su is made a king, this is the year that his wife is given a first-grade imperial edict, any of these four can be done. Adding endless brilliance to the New Year, not to mention all four things coming together?

Madam was filled with emotion when she paid homage to her ancestors. The year San Lang won the top prize, her mother thought this was the most glorious moment for the Lin family. Unexpectedly, it was overturned the next year. He became the first grandmaster of Qinglian, and this year it was even more overturned... The current prosperity of the Lin family must be at its peak, right?

Lin Jialiang nodded quickly: Of course, of course!

Lin Sudu is the king of the world. The real peak of the official career is not as troublesome as the top. Therefore, it must be the top...

What about the third one? The New Year visitors started to have some trouble.

In the past, it was very taboo for the Lin family. Even though Lin Su was a fourth-rank official and Lin Jialiang was the head of the county, which officially completed the Lin family's transition from military to civil, there were only a few New Year's visitors every year, and there were only two people in the officialdom. , Magistrate Yang and Zeng Shigui.

But this year is different!

This year, the rise of the Lin family is unstoppable. Being friendly with the Lin family is no longer a taboo in the officialdom, and is even the biggest bonus in the officialdom. So, what reasons do officials from all walks of life have for not coming?

Lin Jialiang was still troubled by this matter and asked Lin Su: Third brother, how can we do this? Otherwise, let's put a piece of paper on the door and avoid visiting anyone who wishes to pay New Year greetings.

Lin Su smiled: "I don't care what you do to me. Anyway, I will definitely not be at home in the first grade of junior high school, and I will be absent from home intermittently in the second and third grade of junior high school..."

"Your Highness, Prince Wen, doesn't have to be at home. Then I, a little magistrate, can naturally disappear. I'll take your two sisters-in-law to visit Yichuan Lake. I'll leave the problem to the eldest brother. Anyway, the eldest brother is someone who has experienced battles with thousands of troops. This little battle is nothing to worry about." Lin Jialiang said.

The two brothers were really not joking.

Early in the morning on the first day of the first lunar month, Lin Su Yi flew away. Lin Jialiang took Qu Xiu and Yu Lou into the carriage, and asked Liu'er to run to the south courtyard and told Lin Zheng that he had worked hard to receive the New Year visitors.

Lin Zheng's eyes widened: "You have King Wen and the magistrate of the state, and leave, leaving me, a general, to pick up the guests? Who do you think I recognize in the officialdom? The third brother has always had this kind of temper. It's okay, old man 2. You have changed..."

Princess Hongying pursed her lips and said in amusement: "Are you the second uncle who studied hard science? I just heard rumors about him. He dared to strip the great Confucian scholars naked in Quzhou. Give me the nickname 'Tearing Off Your Clothes to Know the State'..."

Lin Zheng frowned: "What should we do now?"

Hongying rolled his eyes slightly: "If your husband helps me solve a problem, I will also help you solve this problem..."

"Okay! Madam, please tell me quickly..."

"If you look like this, when Magistrate Yang comes, he must be bringing his son Yang Chun. You welcome him personally and ask Yang Chun to go to the west courtyard to meet his wife. When Zeng Shigui comes, you welcome him personally and tell him that your son is visiting Yichuan Lake. Hu, he must have gone immediately. As for other people in the officialdom, you don’t have to show up. Let the housekeeper receive them and tell them that King Wen and Zhizhou are not in the mansion. They can accept all the gifts, but give them a gift in return. The prices are comparable.”

Lin Zheng nodded repeatedly: "My wife, this is a very wonderful method. You should return the favor equally without taking advantage of them, and the two brothers don't have to accept their favor!"

"Has your problem been solved?" Hongying said with a smile.

"solved!"

"You must pay attention to the problem of my concubine..."

Lin Zheng scratched his head: "What about your sister?"

"Yes, I heard that my sister is sick..." Hong Ying said: "As a sister-in-law, it's really hard for me to open my mouth. When my wife spoke in a vague way, my third uncle always got distracted. My sister is getting older day by day. This matter has not been implemented, and she is exhausted. As a sister, I feel very sad..."

Lin Zheng said: "Actually, we have already discussed this matter. If your sister is willing to accept an equal wife, I think there is no problem. However, your sister is a standard princess. She will marry far away. If she cannot become a wife, she will only Afraid of your father’s side…”

"At this moment, at that moment, the third uncle was just a fourth-rank official back then. The princess couldn't become the official wife after marrying him, and the Nanyang Dynasty's laws were indeed difficult to pass. But now, he is a king who can be compared to the king of a country!"

Lin Zheng's eyes brightened...

Yes, hasn’t the situation changed drastically now?

The third brother is the King of Side by Side!

What is King Side by Side? Jurisprudence is on par with His Majesty!

Equivalent to the king of a country!

If the king of a country marries a royal princess, does the princess have to be a queen? Ordinary concubines are also acceptable!

This is the opportunity brought by the change of status to break the situation.

"Okay! When the third brother comes back, I will tell him as my husband!" Lin Zheng said.

"It's best not to say that. It's best to create an opportunity for him to go to my house..." Princess Hongying gave her husband advice, leaving Lin Zheng stunned. , full of emotion: Madam, you are applying the laws of war to the love affair between children...

Lin Su fell on the distant river embankment. The cold wind carried a few wisps of snowflakes. Yes, the snow finally fell. It was not snow all over the sky, but light snow as light as catkins. The light snow drifted into the river and was invisible. Most of them are traceless when they fall on the river embankment. Perhaps only when they fall on the red plum trees, they are a little clearer.

In front of Lin Su was a small garden. In the small garden, red plum blossoms were peeking out. He gently raised his hand and pushed open the courtyard door. A thin layer of snowflakes fell inside, and a woman stood in the snow, slowly looking back...

Yao Gu!

On the eve of the Holy Family of Nongsheng, Lin Su ascended the path to heaven, he once asked her, do you still want to wander?

She said: I set up an elegant house on the Haining River Beach and watched the joys and sorrows on the Yangtze River.

She fulfilled her promise, she really set up a house on the Haining River Beach and watched the joys and sorrows on the Yangtze River...

"You're really here!" Lin Su said.

"yes!"

"I feel the changes in your literary world!" Lin Su gently stretched out his hand to catch the snowflakes falling from the sky, and also felt the changes in the literary world.

What kind of change?

What a mysterious change!

In the past, her literary world and the outside world were two different worlds. Although there were some integrations, they were still generally separated. But now, there are almost no traces of this separation. Standing in her literary world, she feels the same world as the outside world. The wind of the world accepts the same snow from the outside world, and her literary world is almost the real world in the true sense.

"Yes, I kind of understand the joys and sorrows." Yao Gu said.

"Is it because of the New Year? I miss my loved ones even more during the festive season?"

Last night was New Year's Eve, the night when thousands of families reunited, and she left home far away, feeling the joys and sorrows in her heart. The artistic conception she drew from "Water Melody Song Tou" became more and more perfect, and her true world took shape?

This is Lin Su's speculation.

Yaogu smiled: "Maybe...what to drink? Tea or wine?"

"Now that you have achieved the true world, you will no longer be like a human being in the world. Therefore, I will use the wine in the mortal world to keep you here and drink!" Lin Su said.

Yaogu smiled: "If I am not a human being, you are even less so! Although I am on the Haining River Beach, far away from the crowds and bustling city, I still know some things. You are in the temple, sweeping through the Nine Palaces, going straight into Lingyan Pavilion, Bojie... …Is it done?”

"Let me show you!" A golden light shot out from Lin Su's eyebrows, and outside the Yaogu Realm, two high mountains appeared, and a huge city was between the two mountains. It was a scene that made people stunned...

Yaogu's face turned slightly red: "What a terrifying literary world. I feel that even if my true world is fully formed, it is not worth mentioning in front of your rich world... Don't show your literary world to others casually in the future!"

"You are not someone else, you are you!" Lin Su's eyebrows moved, and Bo Jie accepted it completely.

Yaogu felt a warm current in her heart: "Am I the only one who sees your literary world?"

"No, there is another person! We have similarities with you, but there are also differences. The similarity is that they are both maverick women, but the difference is: she only wants my head."

Yao Gu was suddenly startled: "Has she... been cleared yet?"

"I really want to clear it, but in fact, I am not her opponent! At least not at this stage!"

Yaogu was shocked: "Who is it?"

Which woman in the world today cannot be eliminated by him? As far as she knows, there is probably only Su Rong, the saint of Yaowang Mountain. But Su Rong, the saint of Yaowang Mountain, is not worthy of Lin Su's words: I am no match for her!

Strictly speaking, Yaowang Mountain Saint Su Rong was not his opponent, but he just couldn't kill her.

Unless, she inspired a new flower of the avenue and took a more terrifying step on the road of spiritual practice.

"Moon Shadow!"

As soon as the word "Moon Shadow" comes out, all the flowers in Yaogu's garden bloom...
