Chapter 23 Intention(1/2)
He speaks evil words, confuses the public, welcomes others, takes advantage of his merits, forms cliques, is unruly, pretends to be a saint, and punishes them.
The words of the newly promoted Censor Feng Lin in his first memorial to the Holy Spirit spread throughout the capital, causing an uproar.
"Is Feng Lin crazy?" Old Mrs. Chen asked in astonishment, "Why did Mrs. Cheng offend him?"
"The evil words are for making a bet with His Majesty to induce thunder from the sky. The music of the piano is not for human beings."
"To confuse the public, it is to attract the whole city to Maoyuan Mountain Wine."
"The purpose of welcoming and serving is to make friends with the emperor, the queen mother, and the princes."
"The purpose of asking for merit is to wait for the sworn brothers to be redressed before offering the divine arm bow. It is also said that only if the brothers and relatives ask for it, they will think of other magical weapons."
"Party formation..."
After hearing what Chen Shao said, Mr. Chen took over and pointed at him.
"You?" he said.
Chen Shao smiled bitterly and nodded.
"What about being unruly? What about claiming to be a saint?" Old Mrs. Chen asked with a frown.
"It is said that her actions and words have evil intentions, and she exaggerates that she is self-taught. Several servants said that she knew it from birth." Chen Shao said.
"What nonsense!" Mr. Chen threw the tea bowl on the table, "Which of these is her own business? They are all done by others and can be passed on! I thought this Feng Lin was sober, but he didn't
Even thinking about it, I’m a fool!”
"Your Majesty also thinks it's too much." Chen Shao said.
Old Mrs. Chen raised his eyes and looked at him.
"Don't you think it's too much?" he asked.
Chen Shao smiled.
"Father, do you need to say this?" he said, shaking his head, "Father, I don't really like this lady's behavior, but I am not an ungrateful person, and I will not cheer for her misfortune."
Old Mrs. Chen sighed.
"There's nothing we can do about it, her reputation is growing day by day." He said, "Besides, this lady's successive actions are indeed too shocking."
"It has been suppressed for the time being, but Feng Lin is a very stubborn person. He will not give up until he achieves his goal. He must keep an eye on the government for investigation." Chen Shao said.
"These things he said are unreasonable! They are all his own speculations, not the truth!" Old Mrs. Chen said angrily.
…………………………………………..
"Isn't it the truth?"
In the court hall, Feng Lin, who was wearing court clothes, sneered.
"Is Your Majesty still waiting to see the truth?"
"Your Majesty, don't you know how to guard against subtle changes?"
"This woman, with her actions so far, is already at the point when the storm is about to come and she is about to hide herself!"
Chen Shaosurong took a step forward.
"Feng Zhongcheng, you have repeatedly accused her of being evil and causing disaster. What kind of disaster can she cause?" he shouted with raised eyebrows.
"Deceive the Holy King, lure the common people to follow suit, sway public opinion, disrupt discipline and incite public opinion for personal gain." Feng Lin shouted unceremoniously.
"You are talking nonsense." Chen Shao shouted, "How could she do these things?"
"Is it possible for Mr. Chen to predict the future? How do you know she won't do it?" Feng Lin asked with raised eyebrows.
Gao Lingbo, who was standing behind the crowd, could hardly help but laugh out loud.
After standing in this court for so many years, this was one of his happiest moments.
This was also the first time that he felt that Feng Lin looked a bit pleasing to the eye, so much so that he almost forgot that it was this Feng Lin who was checking Taicang Road. He almost made his father angry to death and caused the Gao family to lose half of their family property. There were people in the family every day.
Gritting his teeth, he wanted to eat this Feng Lin alive.
These two are nothing. It would be better if the dog eats the dog and gets out of the court.
From this point of view, this Mrs. Cheng is not bad. Although she has caused losses to the northwest military affairs, if she can get both Feng Lin and Chen Shao to get out, no, no, just get out is enough.
Gao Lingbo is very contented, neither greedy for more nor aggressive.
"...She has made great contributions to the country. These ridiculous speculations of yours are slander!" Chen Shao's voice echoed in the court.
"If you were truly serving your country and your Majesty, you should have sacrificed your divine arm bow long ago. Instead of allowing this woman to mess up her moral code after your injustice has been avenged, your Majesty will inevitably cause chaos and disaster in the world." Feng Lin was also unstoppable.
retreat.
"... Such temptresses and sycophants can still be remedied by punishing them, which will shock the world and clear the people's wisdom. Otherwise, they will be irreversible and it will be too late to regret!"
The emperor's face on the throne became increasingly ugly, and he raised his hand to press his forehead.
Gao Lingbo, who was in the hall, smiled slightly when he saw it.
"Who is Feng Lin?"
After returning home from the next court, I changed into my Taoist robe, sat lazily on a table, watched the prostitutes singing and dancing in front of me, and said to the staff.
"That's the master who came to power with a coffin in tow. That's the master who's willing to take a bite out of you even if he's dead. He's a bastard, and he won't let go."
The staff all laughed.
"I really didn't expect that he would bite Mrs. Cheng as soon as he entered the capital. It's really God's will." Everyone said.
Gao Lingbo sneered and raised his hands to slap on his legs to accommodate the singing and dancing.
"God? There are not many times when God has eyes." He said, throwing a letter over, "Look at Su Jingwen's letter."
The staff hurriedly opened it and laughed when they saw it.
"So that's it." They said, "It turns out that the seeds have been planted a long time ago. No wonder Feng Lin went crazy and bit Mrs. Cheng as soon as he came to Beijing."
"Sir, you are smart." Some people laughed at this and raised their hands to compliment.
Another aide raised his wine bowl.
"This is because God's calculations are not as good as those of humans. Only when someone calculates can God open his eyes." He smiled and greeted everyone, "Come on, come on, let's give you a bowl."
Everyone raised their bowls one after another, and Gao Lingbo smiled and also raised his wine bowl and drank it all in one gulp.
"But sir, now that Feng Lin insists that Mrs. Cheng will cause trouble, what if she comes up with something like a divine arm bow again?" A staff member thought of something and said hurriedly, "Isn't it another great achievement, Feng Lin?
Can we still insist on her death?"
This is quite...
There was a moment of silence in the joking hall.
Gao Lingbo smiled while holding the wine bowl.
"What reason does she have to offer a sharp weapon again? Has she recognized her adopted brother again? Or is there a relative who is asking for it again?" He said, "The young man of the Zhou family was granted an official title, the Zhou family was rewarded, and the parents of the Cheng family were also granted gifts.
Now that she's in Beijing, tell me, what else does she want from a relative?"
"Don't forget, she sets the rules herself and speaks her own words."
"How can you justly say in front of the Queen Mother that you can't play the piano unless you live in a pure house? Now that you are in danger, you can break your own rules and bring out another magic weapon?"
"If she dares to do this, Feng Lin will probably make her die faster!"
The staff also reacted and immediately laughed, and the atmosphere in the hall was joyful again.
"This time we don't have to waste any effort, just wait and watch the excitement."
Loud laughter rang out in the house, accompanied by the woman's coquettishness, and the singing became even more exuberant. The closed doors and windows could not block the spring light inside.
At this time, the atmosphere in the Zhou family was tense.
Mr. Zhou walked into the house and saw the girls and servants packing large and small bags in a mess.
"What are you doing?" he shouted angrily.
"Master, pack your things and go back to Shaanzhou immediately." Mrs. Zhou said, pulling him along, "I really can't stay in this capital."
"Nonsense!" Master Zhou yelled, "The shameless thing from the Cheng family is about to come to Beijing. If you and I leave, how will Jiao Jiao'er cope alone?"
"What do you care about Jiao Jiao'er? If the Cheng family doesn't wait to bully her, Feng Lin will chop off her head!" Mrs. Zhou said, "Master, let's not hang out with her anymore.
I won’t be able to live in peace for a day.”
Mr. Zhou snorted and shook her off.
"What are you afraid of? Jiao Jiao'er has not seen many storms until now? How has she not passed away safely, and she can still get success and fame." He said with a bit of disdain, "These people, these storms, are just
It’s just her stepping stone.”
Mrs. Zhou looked at him with some doubts.
"Master, this time it's Feng Lin." She said, "Feng Lin is responsible for many lives."
"Precisely because he is Feng Lin, there is no need to be afraid." Mr. Zhou said proudly with some certainty.
Mrs. Zhou hurriedly reached out and pulled him into the inner room.
