Chapter 242: Big things are reduced to trivial matters
The maid came in and served tea with a respectful attitude.
The aroma of the tea was alluring. Lin Yuqing only took a sip and then put it down. The person sitting opposite him drank it slowly, as if the person sitting opposite him was not the prince of the Lin family, but just an ordinary friend.
Lin Yuqing was not angry, but spoke to him: "I'm very happy that you can come to me this time. Mr. Cao, I already know your purpose. I personally feel good about it. I also believe in your promise. It's just a matter of fact."
It is important that only the father can decide..."
"Master Lin, the southwest has been leveled, and Da Zheng will be free again."
"There are no outsiders here. Don't tell me lies. Now that the Southwest is at peace, the traces of your interference will not be cleansed if the government investigates."
"Besides, does the court need evidence?" Cao Yiyan said slowly, he was really not in a hurry: "How will you and Lin Guo face the wrath of thunder?"
"When I ascended the throne, besides the grassland, there were still five kingdoms. Now, you are the only one left, the Kingdom of Lin."
"Do you think, with my current temper, you will let Lin Guo go?"
"In such a big matter, no matter how many connections you have, you will be in vain." Cao Yiyan smiled coldly: "So when I ask for arms, I am not just asking you, Lin Guo, but also the country of Lin.
You Lin Guo begged me."
Seeing that Lin Yuqing was silent, Cao Yiyan kept silent, and when he spoke, it was almost like pleading. At this time, someone came in from outside and whispered something into Lin Yuqing's ear.
Lin Yuqing frowned immediately and disappeared calmly, with a hint of anger flashing in his eyes.
Seeing this expression, Cao Yiyan sneered and put down the tea cup gently, already thinking of leaving.
He came to Lin Yuqing this time not just for alliance. Who would have thought that "Zhenren Cao", who was acting as Liu Zhan's disciple outside, was actually a descendant of the Wei Dynasty?
But now that I have gained recognition, I am no longer the same as before. I can only act cautiously and rely on the blessing and reputation of the Taoist sect.
I came to see Lin Yuqing because I sensed some unusual movements in Lin Yuqing and thought that this person might make some moves in the near future, so I came to find out.
Of course it's good if we can cooperate, but if we can't, forget it. After all, Lin Yuqing really can't make the decision. Now that he has something to do, he naturally takes the opportunity to leave.
When Lin Yuqing saw Cao Yiyan leaving, because he had something on his mind, he didn't stop him. He just said: "Mr. Cao, I agree with what you said. It's just that the matter is serious. I can't reply to you until there is an explanation in the country."
He smiled and sent Cao Yiyan out of the door, then turned back. When he returned to the study, there were already a few more people in the study.
Lin Yuqing had a cold face, sat down on the chair again, and asked the person who had just reported: "You said you were beating someone from Su Zi?"
"Yes, I just gave you a small warning in accordance with the rules you set."
"It turns out that his guest was injured because of me." This really surprised Lin Yuqing, but although it was just a small matter, it was not simple behind it. He stood up and pondered, turned around and asked: "What do you think of the current situation?"
The Lin State is a country further southwest with foreign ancestry. During the Wei Dynasty, because the country was named "Lin", the royal family's children were given the surname "Lin". Since then, the royal family of the Lin State have had names named after Lin.
The Chinese name of the surname has a strong Chinese character.
Lin Yuqing, in particular, entered the capital and became a well-known master of piano and chess. He has been in business for twenty years and, apart from other things, has done well in terms of reputation.
But now, after being dormant for many years, Lin Yuqing is also a little upset and agitated, especially among the Lin Kingdom's royal family members of the same age, many of whom have already made achievements in the Lin Kingdom, and even adult princes have begun to seize the throne.
On the other hand, after staying in Dazheng for nearly twenty years, no matter how many businesses he had, he still did not want to end up making wedding clothes for others.
"This Su Ziji, what is he investigating me for?" Lin Yuqing frowned and immediately felt that his own affairs had been discovered.
It has been heard before that Su Ziji has contacts with the chief eunuch. Could it be that Su Ziji works for the eunuch?
But a dignified scholar might be able to win the first prize in the future. Is he really such a weakling?
Lin Yuqing, who was born in a clan and also treated the eunuch as a domestic slave, recalled Su Ziji who had played against him and subconsciously felt that this young man did not seem to be capable of such irrational behavior.
Su Ziji would only do it if he was stupid.
So why did Su Ziji, a Huiyuan from Guangling Province who had nothing to do with him, suddenly send someone to investigate him?
Or is it that the injured guest, although he was from Su Zi on the surface, actually had another master?
Lin Yuqing was a little confused and asked someone: "Mr. Gao, what do you think is strange about this matter?"
Mr. Gao was also in his forties or fifties. He held a folding fan and frowned: "Sir, I think that no matter how fishy it is, this matter can be let go."
"Sir, the most important thing is to return home. You have been in Dazheng for almost twenty years. In Dazheng, no matter how much you manage, you will always be just a guest. Even if you are talented and famous, the Emperor of Dazheng will not use you."
"Lin is your root. If you return to your country and become Lord Dongsui, you can attack and defend, advance or become a crown prince. Even if you retreat, you will still have a fiefdom and the silver line of Dazheng. Therefore, you can truly develop when you return to your country."
"So I feel that no matter what the background is or what the intentions are, it is not appropriate to get entangled in this matter. It is most appropriate to reduce major issues to minor ones."
There is some truth to this.
Lin Yuqing is almost forty. Even though he looks young, like a young man in his early twenties, he no longer has unrealistic ideas.
In fact, he also felt that there was no point in continuing to stay in Dazheng. He had already interfered with the things that could be disturbed. In the past twenty years, he had indeed not wasted in vain. This capital alone had a lot of things.
He has a lot of power.
Even if he returns to the country, if there is any abnormality, he can control it remotely from the Lin Kingdom. There is no need for anyone to stay here.
Thinking of this, Lin Yuqing nodded: "What you said makes some sense."
Hearing his words, almost everyone in the study secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Mr. Gao is not the only one who wholeheartedly looks forward to the young master’s return to the Lin Kingdom. Why don’t others do the same?
Even though he lived a relatively comfortable life in the Zheng Dynasty, it was not as good as returning home in fine clothes. It was exciting to rise to prominence in his mother country, and he had the opportunity to spy on the great power.
Although in Dazheng, he is called King Lin, in fact, in his own country, he is called Emperor Lin.
Mr. Gao waved his fan: "As for Cao Yiyan's words, they are alarmist. One good thing about Dalin is that it is too far away, and it is mostly jungle and full of epidemics."
"Da Zheng really dared to go on an expedition, and I, Da Lin, dared to drag it down and eat it."
"But I think it's okay to sell a batch of ordnance to Cao Yiyan. Although I'm not optimistic about it, it would be a good thing if Dazheng will be in civil strife for a few more years."
Lin Yuqing nodded again, already thinking about it.
