Tibetan Sea Pearl

The officials left noisily, the emperor got a headache from their quarrel, went to rest behind the main hall, and invited the imperial physician to take a pulse.

Eunuch Qin sighed as he looked at the empty hall. There was a sound of footsteps outside the hall, and a young man came quickly.

"Oh, why are you here?" Eunuch Qin hurriedly stepped forward and said.

What happened to the father and son today, one just left, and the other came again, it's really a father and son bond.

"Eunuch Qin." Lin Cheng saluted.

Before anyone could explain the origin, Eunuch Qin stopped him with a smile and shook Fochen, "Go, go."

"What's the matter?" Lin Cheng jumped out of the hall in two steps and three steps.

Eunuch Qin gave him a helpless look, "Just let the emperor calm down for two days, the emperor has already agreed, so don't be in such a hurry."

"Promise what?" Lin Cheng looked at him with a smile.

This is pretending to be confused, there is no secret between father and son, and they didn't all get through in advance.

Eunuch Qin also laughed and scolded him, "Just pretend to be confused."

"I really don't know. I just came back from the south, so I'm not going to ask the emperor for my sin." Lin Cheng said.

Without saying anything, he probably guessed in his heart that he should give credit to Vice General Liang.

Eunuch Qin was stunned for a moment, looking at Lin Cheng's expression, he probably really didn't know what happened in the courtroom today, the officials also cried, and the emperor also cried bitterly, pity the Lin family, the emperor is not in the mood to eat.

Eunuch Qin waved his hand at the people, "You have just come back, so don't make trouble."

He doesn't dare to touch this bad luck right now, the imperial doctor is still inside.

"I have to trouble Eunuch Qin to report my matter." Lin Cheng turned and left.

Eunuch Qin looked at the young man's back, sighed, brought in a bowl of sweet soup, and saw that the food he had brought in earlier was left untouched.

The imperial physician has diagnosed the pulse, is sorting out the medicine box, and has also prescribed some soothing medicines.

Eunuch Qin called a little eunuch with a smile, and sent the imperial physician out to the imperial hospital to get medicine.

"Your majesty, eat a little, it's appetizing." He persuaded.

The emperor took the rice bowl from Eunuch Qin's hands, and put some sour plum and hawthorn in it. It smelled sour and sweet, and he finished the whole bowl of sweet soup.

"I thought the emperor wasn't hungry." Eunuch Qin laughed.

The emperor took a look at the memorials on the case table. These were all the officials or the censor impeached Lin Zongbing for lax military management and let the tartars take advantage of the loopholes. He read them all and suppressed them.

This time it was okay, it was just that he was suddenly attacked by the tartars from behind, and he didn't lose the city. Speaking of which, Zongbing Lin was not at fault.

But Lin Zongbing was pitiful, and his son-in-law died.

These tartars were coming for the Lin family, so why did they assassinate the Lin family.

The grievances between the Tartars and the Lin family were deep, and it was no longer a matter between one generation and two generations.

"What has Sambo been up to lately?" The emperor suddenly asked.

Sanbao is the nickname of Mr. Zheng, the chief eunuch. He served the emperor before, and the emperor is used to calling him that.

Eunuch Qin was sorting out the books at the back, and came over with his head bowed when he heard the emperor's question.

"Master Zheng is busy raising birds."

"He's very idle," the emperor said with a smile, holding the memorial in one hand.

Because Mr. Zheng is old, he is no longer needed to serve the emperor, but he will still be mentioned from time to time.

The emperor will not mention it for no reason.

The emperor is upset, he wants to talk to someone.

Eunuch Qin was clever, and he immediately understood, "I'm going to invite Mr. Zheng here to talk with the emperor."

The emperor nodded without looking at him.

……

When Lin Cheng left the palace, it was already dusk and the sky was gray.

The emperor didn't see him, and the emperor had seen his father before he came. At this time, the emperor is most annoyed by their father and son.

Where will father be at this time?Are you already home?

The Lin family also has their own house in the capital, which is located in the best location, quiet amidst the hustle and bustle, and the area is not small.

Father is at home, let him go home quickly.

Just like other children who have been away from home for a long time, the pace of returning home is so hurried.

Back home, it was completely dark, Lin Cheng first went to the main room to visit his father.

Zongbing Lin was still wearing the official uniform he wore when he entered the palace. He didn't change his clothes, but took off his official hat and put it on the table.

There was no light in the room, and he just sat like that, sitting motionless on the edge of the bed, not knowing what he was thinking, blending into the surrounding night.

"You're back." Zongbing Lin said.

He was as cordial as other fathers greeting their sons, but his voice was dull, giving off an inexplicable alienation.

Lin Cheng turned on the light and went in, calling his father.

"If you think about it, you also know that your brother-in-law is dead." Zongbing Lin turned his head and looked at Lin Cheng.

Lin Cheng nodded, put the lamp on the table, and looked at his father's face.

Maybe it was because of the exhaustion from the long journey, or because the death of Vice General Liang brought him a big blow, Zongbing Lin looked ten years older.

He has only seen such a father since he was a child, and the last time was when Grandpa Lin passed away.

Lin Chengyu couldn't bear it, but he had to ask a question.

"Did you kill brother-in-law?"

Zongbing Lin looked at Lin Cheng standing by the bed, as if he didn't know his son, or because he hadn't seen him for too long, he was really unfamiliar.

He didn't answer.

Lin Cheng smiled wryly, and said meaningfully, "This question is also for my sister."

"Shut up." Zongbing Lin stood up and shouted.

"It's too disappointing for you to think so."

When Lin Cheng mentioned his sister, Lin Zongbing thought of his two sons and daughters. After his daughter got married, Vice General Liang became the closest person to his daughter, while Lin Cheng stayed far away. He was an official outside and came back once every three years. This father doesn't get along much with his children.

Because he seldom gets along, he doesn't know how to get along other than alienation.

Unlike his other pair of sons, who grew up beside him and took care of him, brought him a lot of happiness and allowed him to enjoy the joy of being a father.

Lin Cheng smiled wryly and took two steps forward, "To be honest, did you kill the man?"

He approached step by step, with a gloomy expression, as if he was persecuting.

This kid knows how to persecute me.

Lin Zongbing patted the table, "Nonsense, you can ask this question."

It's not that he doesn't want to tell Lin Cheng the truth, but he can't. If he tells the truth, then they don't even have to be father and son.

Lin Cheng stopped and didn't speak.

"Your brother-in-law is dead, what good does it do me?"

"I have cultivated him and cultivated him all these years, is it easy for me?"

"You didn't vent your anger for your sister, or your dead brother-in-law, and ran to me and went crazy. I am not a family with him." Lin Zongbing's face was somber, and he scolded one by one.

family?

Who is a family with whom?

"If you don't tell me, I already know the answer."

Lin Cheng stopped listening to him and rushed out.

"This beast." Lin Zongbing gritted his teeth.

The butler was trembling and panicked when he heard it outside the door.

Hey, the father and son quarreled and everyone left, Zongbing Lin must be very angry. Should we chase him back at this time.

"What are you chasing after? Let him go, you bastard." Zongbing Lin was on the verge of falling, and the housekeeper hurriedly stepped forward to support him.
