Chapter 24 The crime of deceiving the emperor went to the prison of the Ministry of punishment by hi
The atmosphere in the court hall was like dark clouds covering the sun for a while, and there was a thunderbolt hidden in the dark clouds. The officials hurriedly kept quiet, lest they would anger the emperor, and the next thunderbolt would strike on their heads.
Luan Yunye asked coldly: "Who has anything to ask?!"
All the officials knelt down and did not dare to speak.
The Xiqiang envoy was so frightened that he knelt down on the ground and kowtowed repeatedly: "My ministers are wrong, we have all listened to the traitor, please forgive me, your majesty."
Luan Yunye said: "The person you want to apologize to is not me."
The envoy of Xiqiang quickly kowtowed to Lin Jian: "We were all deceived by traitors, Lord Pingzhang, please forgive me."
Luan Yunye glanced at Xueshi Wang, and asked coldly, "What about you?"
Wang Xueshi quickly took the lead and made a bow to Lin Jian: "I listened to the slander for a while, and there are many impoliteness. Please, Mr. Pingzhang, don't take it to heart."
The rest of the ministers who contributed to the incident apologized one after another.
"However... Lord Pingzhang, can you explain what the Turkic envoy said about 'touching'?" Grand Master Xu asked, "According to the law of our dynasty, ministers are not allowed to meet foreign envoys privately without purpose."
Luan Yunye asked quietly: "Do you know that he has a private meeting without purpose?"
Grand Master Xu was taken aback, and quickly bowed to Luan Yunye: "The old minister did not know the inside story and just said something wrong, please forgive me. But since Pingzhang is acting according to the order, and taking advantage of the opportunity with foreign envoys, isn't it more..."
Lin Jian lowered his eyes, so embarrassed that he didn't know how to explain.
Bai Yixiao said: "Grand Master Xu, the word 'dirty' is not used indiscriminately, it is the face of the three countries. If you are not present, how do you know that there is such a thing?"
"So, Lord Hou was also there?"
"Of course it is." Bai Yixiao looked at Luan Yunye and said, "The Turkic envoy was hospitable and hospitable. He poured a glass of water for Pingzhang himself, but accidentally knocked it over. This girl wiped the water stains for Lin Pingzhang, but she just bumped into it by accident. .”
"This Turkic girl is not good at official language, and I probably don't understand what everyone is chattering about. She can't say anything in class. If Your Majesty doesn't believe it, you can ask her about it later."
Hearing Bai Yixiao's explanation, Luan Yunye's already gloomy face became even more frighteningly cold.
"Besides, she is an innocent girl who dares to say such a thing in order to distinguish right from wrong for Lin Pingzhang. This kind of thing should have been treated as if it never happened, but now that I have said it, how can I get married in the future?"
"To make foreign envoys question Pingzhang, openly provoke disputes, and make other Turkic envoys have to speak out about the situation to maintain Pingzhang's innocence." Bai Yixiao glanced at Grand Master Xu, and said straight to Luan Yunye, "Your Majesty, the person who spread the rumors is the culprit, and he should be punished severely!"
Luan Yunye said: "Check."

After the dynasty is over, the Royal Study Room
Eunuch Gao walked into the imperial study room lightly, and handed a piece of neatly folded, but yellowed and crumpled old paper to Luan Yunye: "Your Majesty, you want this servant to find something you found."
Luan Yunye took the paper, opened it, stared at the pattern drawn in ink on the paper, and did not speak for a long time.
"Your Majesty." Eunuch Gao carefully glanced at Luan Yunye, and said, "Lin Pingzhang has been kneeling outside for a long time."
Luan Yunye stared at the paper in his hand without raising his head: "Let him kneel."
Eunuch Gao answered "Yes", and stepped aside without daring to say more.
Luan Yunye stared at the paper in his hand for a while, thinking that Lin Jian's health was not good, and now it was cold outside, making him kneel outside always felt uneasy.After less than a quarter of an hour of hardening up, he refolded the paper and put it in the skirt of his clothes, and walked out of the imperial study unconsciously.
Outside the imperial study room, the sky was gloomy, Lin Jianduan was kneeling upright.
Lin gradually thought to himself, although it was inconvenient for Luan Yunye to question himself in court, but with the words of the Tubo envoy, it was absolutely impossible not to doubt his identity.
No matter how much you try to cover it up, you can't hide it anymore. It's better to admit it directly and tell him clearly.If he feels that he has been deceived, it is his own doing, and he can deal with it as he pleases, so as not to get involved in the peace negotiation.
In a peaceful and prosperous age, the people live and work in peace and contentment. If there is no choice, who would want to have wars on the border for many years?All monarchs will weigh the pros and cons, put the country first, as long as they act with emotion and reason, Luan Yunye will not ignore the overall situation because of his hatred for him.
Just as Lin Jian was thinking about it, he saw a pair of black leather boots walking in slowly, and it was in front of him.Lin Jian knelt, only half of the black and gold embroidered skirt could be seen.
Lin Jian knelt down and said, "See Your Majesty."
"Come in."
Luan Yunye's icy voice sounded above his head, he only dropped three words, then turned and left.
Lin Jian raised his eyes and took a look, only seeing the back of Luan Yunye walking into the imperial study.
Lin Jian was secretly surprised. If Luan Yunye wanted to make things difficult, it would be normal for him to kneel outside the study for two or three days without being summoned.Besides, Lin Jian didn't know how to face him now, and he didn't expect him to be willing to see him so soon.
If he couldn't wait to deal with himself, it was normal for him to come out to fight and kill, why did he just say to let himself in when he came out?Since he allowed himself to go in, he directly ordered people to announce it, so why come out in person?
Lin Jian knelt for nearly half an hour, his knees felt sore and numb, and he stood up with his hands on the ground. He didn't dare to delay, brushed the dust off his knees, and walked into the imperial study.
Luan Yunye sat at the top, casually took a book in his hand, but couldn't read a single word.
Lin Jian consciously knelt down beside him silently.
Luan Yunye put down the book in his hand and asked, "Would you like to explain what happened yesterday?"
Lin Jian took out yesterday's document from his sleeve, and handed it over with both hands: "Yesterday, I met with Turkic and Tubo envoys privately, and falsely conveyed His Majesty's will, and made a document with them. Your Majesty, please take a look."
"You are honest." Luan Yunye asked Eunuch Gao to take over the document and glanced at it.
Lin Jian explained: "Your Majesty has elite soldiers and strong generals, so he is naturally invincible. However, the barbarians often come out in full force in battle, and the attack is fierce and unstoppable. Even if you win a frontal attack, you will inevitably suffer heavy losses."
"In my opinion, it's better to keep a low profile and preserve our strength, and just hold them back with a sham and a snake. Now that the Turks and Tubo are willing to join us, why not order them to attack Beidi from the rear with a lot of money."
"In this way, your Majesty only needs to watch from the sidelines to control the barbarians. Not only will the northern border of the Shang Kingdom be free from war, but the losses in this battle will also be minimized."
Luan Yunye put away the document and put it aside, stared at Lin Jian and said indifferently: "Then you really have a heart."
"I'm guilty." Lin Jian kowtowed and said, "I'm guilty of falsely passing on the emperor's order and making claims without pardon. But I really think this method is feasible. Your Majesty, please consider your opinion."
"Since you promised a lot of money, I will give it to you." Luan Yunye looked at Lin Jian and said, "But this is not what I asked you to explain."
Lin Jian thought to himself, didn't Luan Yunye ask himself to explain this matter, and didn't pursue him for the crime of falsely passing on the king's order, it seemed that he acquiesced to his own proposition.Then what he asked himself to explain should be about pretending to be Lin Yue'er?
When it comes to Lin Yue'er, Lin Jian finds it hard to talk about it.
Disguising as a woman to be his queen is already daring. These days, she gets along with Luan Yunye day and night and is taken care of by him. She even wanted him to kiss him to warm his bed that night...
Thinking about this, Lin Jian gritted his silver teeth secretly, and kowtowed: "Pretending to deceive the emperor is the fault of the minister alone. The minister fled for his life, fearing death and wanting to save his life. Please do not blame others. Liang Guo did not deceive your majesty." It means that everything is decided by the minister himself. There is also Marquis An Le, who is also threatened by the minister..."
"Snapped!"
The sound of a book being slammed on the table was heard above his head. Lin Jian knew that Luan Yunye was not satisfied with his explanation, so he bowed his head and stopped talking.
"It seems that you really don't know where you are wrong." Luan Yunye picked up the memorial on the table and began to read it without raising his eyelids, and said coldly, "Kneel down and think clearly."
Lin Jian knelt on the ground. The floor of the imperial study room was covered with carpets. It didn't feel like knee pain from kneeling outside, and there was no wind blowing, so he wouldn't feel cold.
But to face Luan Yunye, Lin Jian would rather kneel outside.
Lin Jian lowered his eyes and began to reflect on what was wrong with what he said just now, but after thinking about it, he admitted his mistakes sincerely and comprehensively. He confessed and explained the crime of deceiving the emperor and falsely passing on the emperor's fate, but he couldn't figure it out. What else needs to be explained.
Moreover, if Luan Yunye felt dissatisfied, why didn't he ask directly, and insisted on letting himself kneel here and guess randomly.
If it wasn't for these two things, why was Luan Yunye so angry?
Lin Jian thought about it, but couldn't figure it out, so he just stopped thinking about it and just stared at the patterns on the carpet, wondering how to draw the patterns on the floor.
Although Luan Yunye was looking at the memorial in his hand, he kept his heart on Lin Jian's body all the time. He didn't wait for a response, and guessed that Lin Jian had knelt to the limit he could bear: "Go down."
Lin Jianru came to the amnesty, kowtowed and left the imperial study.
Luan Yunye had been upset all the time. As soon as Lin Jian went out, he picked up the document that had just been thrown on the table, read it carefully again, and recalled what Lin Jian had just said to himself.
……
"When the barbarians use their troops, they often come out in full force. Xu Turks and Tubo paid a lot of money to order them to attack from the rear. They will win without fighting, minimize the losses, and save the Shang country from war."
……
Does this mean that he already has Shang Guo and himself in his heart?
Eunuch Gao stood aside, seeing Luan Yunye and Lin Jian making such a fuss, he watched anxiously, and asked cautiously, "Why don't your majesty tell him the truth?"
Luan Yunye's slender fingers caressed Lin Jianshuli's chic and unrestrained handwriting on the document: "Let him think."
"Although he is meticulous and intelligent, he is really slow in some things." Gao Gonggong said, "As long as His Majesty mentions a thing or two, maybe he will be enlightened."
Luan Yunye glanced at the document in his hand, put it away on the corner of the table, got up and said, "Let the imperial dining room make a plate of brown sugar cake."
"Yes."
Since it was already noon, Lin Jian should have taken his medicine. Luan Yunye searched in the bedroom, but found no one from Lin Jian, and went to Changqiu Palace to search again, but there was no trace of Lin Jian.
Luan Yunye said: "Xing Xing."
A black figure jumped down from the beam and half-kneeled in front of Luan Yunye: "This subordinate is here."
Luan Yunye asked, "Where's the person?"
"Return to Your Majesty." Su Xing replied, "He left the imperial study and went to the prison of the Ministry of Punishment."
