Chapter 447 Doing Right
Lin Xuan thought that after rejecting Li Tai, he would definitely retaliate, but who knew that there was no movement for several days.
In the past few days, the Cui family also sent over the last batch of money.
Lin Xuan didn't want a penny, and every time the money came, he immediately sent someone to notify Li Junxian to take it away.
This time, 500 million was obtained from the Cui family, which should make the Cui family feel distressed for a while.
The new year is approaching, and Lin Xuan doesn't have to go to court, so he is very leisurely.
……
royal palace, legislature hall
Empress Changsun has recovered her body after this period of recuperation.
Hearing the eunuch's announcement that Li Shimin was coming soon, Empress Changsun hurriedly ordered the maid to serve the food.
Not long after, Li Shimin walked in.
Empress Changsun hurriedly stood up and saluted: "My concubine sees Your Majesty."
Li Shimin stepped forward quickly, helped Empress Changsun up, and blamed: "Your body is just right, didn't you say you don't need to salute?"
Empress Changsun smiled, but did not speak.
At this moment, the maid came in with the food.
"Your Majesty, let's eat first." Empress Changsun said with a smile.
Li Shimin nodded, but was stunned when he saw the dishes on the table.
"Guanyin maidservant, this is?"
I saw more than a dozen dishes on the table.
However, this is not the most important thing. When the emperor and the empress dine, a dozen or so dishes are already very economical.
To his surprise, most of the dishes on the table were vegetables.
Although he is an emperor, he only eats two or three vegetables for each meal.
In addition to being rare in number, species are also very rare.
"Your Majesty, Li Zhi and Gao Ming sent people to bring a lot of green vegetables." Empress Changsun said.
Li Shimin didn't need to think about it to know that it was sent by Lin Xuan, so he was so angry.
That day when he called Lin Xuan into the palace, he planned to ask Lin Xuan for vegetables.
Later, it was delayed because of other things, but Lin Xuan was kind. He knew how to send Li Chengqian and Li Lizhi, but he didn't know how to send him.
The more Li Shimin thought about it, the angrier he became, and scolded: "That bastard Lin Xuan has no king or father."
Empress Changsun naturally knew why Li Shimin was so angry, she pulled Li Shimin to sit down, and said with a smile: "The concubine thinks that Zichu is a good kid, and he gave Lizhi a few hundred catties of green vegetables, how can Lizhi eat it up? Obviously it was given to His Majesty."
As the saying goes: the mother-in-law looks at her son-in-law, the more she looks at her, the more she is satisfied.
Empress Changsun was not only very satisfied with Lin Xuan, but also because Lin Xuan donated medicine to save her, so she naturally wanted to speak for Lin Xuan.
"If he really wants to give it to me, he can just give it to me. Why beat around the bush? I think he just doesn't take me seriously." Li Shimin said unhappily.
"The concubine thinks he's doing the right thing. Planting vegetables in winter was available in the Han Dynasty. Those ministers said that they were unseasonable things that hurt people when they were eaten. In the end, they destroyed the planting methods. If Zichu himself sent to the palace, those words The official will definitely impeach him, and His Majesty will have a very headache at that time." Empress Changsun said.
"You mean, he still has merit?" Li Shimin said angrily.
In fact, he knew that Empress Changsun was telling the truth. If Lin Xuan directly sent vegetables to the palace for him to eat, those officials would definitely come out and make trouble.
For those speech officials, impeaching others will not only get them promoted, but also bring them a reputation. They will find trouble if they have nothing to do, not to mention such a good opportunity now, of course they will not let it go.
The blame can only be blamed on him. In order to spread the word, he ordered the officials to tell the truth, and he was not guilty.
In other words, no matter who the officials impeach, whether the matter is true or false, they are not guilty.
Therefore, Zhenguan's speech officer is very powerful in combat.
Especially with Wei Zheng taking the lead.
Not to mention princes and nobles, even Li Shimin and the others impeached if they wanted to.
Empress Changsun knew Li Shimin's temper. She clearly knew that the other party was right, but she refused to give in. She wanted to save face and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, why bother to get angry with him. Eat quickly, or the dishes will be cold."
……
When Li Shimin and Empress Changsun were eating, Lin Xuan's family was also eating.
And the dishes are richer than Li Shimin's.
Today Lin Mo came to say goodbye, he was going to Luoyang for the New Year.
Lin Dongyang was very enthusiastic about his nephew, and he had someone prepare a sumptuous banquet for him.
"Thank you uncle for taking care of me during this time, and my nephew would like to offer you a toast." Lin Mo stood up and raised his glass.
Lin Dongyang waved his hand and said, "We are all a family. Why are you being so polite? The old man asked you to come home more often. You have been in Chang'an for so long, but you haven't come a few times. The old man is ashamed to see your father when he goes home to worship his ancestors." .”
"The family uncle takes care of the little nephew, and the little nephew knows it. It's too late for my father to be grateful, so how can I blame him?" Lin Mo said.
This is not polite.
He was afraid of disturbing Lin Dongyang's family, so he didn't want to come to the door, but Lin Dongyang often sent someone to give him some things, and he was very grateful.
After toasting Lin Dongyang, Lin Mo didn't sit down. He picked up the jug and filled it with wine, picked up the wine glass, and said to Lin Xuan, "Clan brother, I'm toasting you."
Lin Xuan got up quickly, picked up the wine glass, and said, "Brother Clan, you are being polite, I should respect you."
Lin Dongyang said: "Why are the family paying respects? Drink quickly and sit down to eat."
Lin Xuan and Lin Mo smiled at each other, drank the wine in their glasses, and sat down.
"Bonian, the old man has prepared some things for the elders of the family. When you go back, you just go back with the motorcade." Lin Dongyang said.
In fact, he was worried that it would be unsafe for Lin Mo to go back alone, so he arranged this way so that there would be someone to take care of him on the way.
Lin Mo didn't know Lin Dongyang's plan, thought it was true, and agreed.
"Brother Clan, how is your study at Guozijian? Did you take part in this year's imperial examination?" Lin Xuan asked suddenly.
Lin Mo said with a smile: "There are many great Confucian scholars in Guozijian, which have benefited me a lot. My hometown is not in Chang'an, and coupled with my lack of self-awareness, I didn't go back to take the imperial examination this year."
"In this case, we will have to wait for another three years. Would you like me to find an official for you?" Lin Xuan said.
Although the imperial court has stipulated that the selection of officials in the future must pass the imperial examination.
But now the imperial examination has just been reformed, and it will take three years to hold the general examination. Before that, the selection of officials is still the same as before.
With Lin Xuan's recommendation, it is not difficult for Lin Mo to become an official.
But at most, he will be delegated to be a county magistrate.
After all, Lin Mo is too young.
Lin Dongyang put down his chopsticks and said, "Xuan'er, if you can help Bonian find an official, then help him."
The ancients valued the clan very much, and their lineage was sparsely populated. If Lin Mo could be an official, he could also help each other with Lin Xuan.
Lin Mo hesitated for a moment, and said, "No need, I want to enter an official career through the imperial examination."
Although Lin Xuan's recommendation would allow him to enter the officialdom faster.
However, he feels that since the imperial court stipulates that officials will be selected in the future, they will all pass the imperial examination.
So it is very important whether you have a background in the imperial examination.
Compared with becoming an official in advance, the high school imperial examination will allow him to go further.
Of course, the premise is that he can pass the exam, and Lin Mo is very confident in himself.
Lin Xuan nodded, he could guess what Lin Mo was thinking.
Now he is helping to talk, it is not difficult to find an official position for Lin Mo, but after the test, it will be difficult.
But everyone has their own ideas, since Lin Mo made his choice, he didn't try to persuade him.
Lin Dongyang felt that Lin Mo was a little confused, and the sooner he became an official, the better.
But he didn't understand official affairs, seeing that Lin Xuan didn't try to persuade him, he didn't say anything.
After eating, Lin Mo stayed at the Lin's house.
Early tomorrow morning, he will return to Luoyang with the convoy prepared by Lin Dongyang.
