Invincible son

Chapter 738 737 [Mountain Yang Zhi]

The appearance of Cheng Jingcheng cannot be separated from that famous official named Lin Qingyuan.

Some scholars often lament that Emperor Gaozu and Lin Qingyuan can be described as a model of harmony between monarch and minister.

Before the overthrow of the former Wei Dynasty, the world was in chaos. A group of lords ruled the land, and the huge empire was divided into more than a dozen separate territories of different sizes.After Gao Zu's incident, Lin Qingyuan sat in the rear for him, and he could be said to have exhausted his efforts to manage the land that Gao Zu led a group of handsome talents to manage extremely stably.

More than ten years later, Emperor Gaozu wiped out most of the separatist forces and occupied the heartland of the world, leaving only two small regimes in the Southern Zhou Dynasty, Western Wu and Southwest.At that time, the conditions for the establishment of the country were fully mature. After repeated persuasion by many important officials, he finally announced to the world that he would be the emperor, the country name was Liang, and the capital of the former Wei Dynasty was designated as Kyoto.

However, it is sad that on the eve of the founding of the Liang Dynasty, Lin Qingyuan, who was overworked, suffered from serious illness and passed away on the eve of the enthronement ceremony.

It is said that when Lin Qingyuan was dying, Emperor Gaozu sat in front of his hospital bed, held his hand and wept uncontrollably, almost fainting.

Afterwards, in order to highlight this person's achievements and to stabilize the situation in the southern border, Emperor Gaozu raised Lin Qingyuan's hometown Zhongshan County as the accompanying capital with a swipe of a pen, and named it Chengjing himself, thinking that he would accomplish the Daliang Dynasty.

About the story of the monarch and his ministers, the vast majority of scholars are familiar with it, so naturally they are full of admiration, only regretting that they have not met such a wise master.But there are many eccentric people in the world who want to come up with unique ideas, so a terrible rumor spread like wildfire.

The rumors are not detailed, but only said that although Lin Qingyuan made great contributions back then, he had a strange idea, as if he wanted to limit the power of the king so that the courtiers could restrict him. He was really a rebellious minister.Therefore, after he repeated Yan Jin's remonstrance, Emperor Gaozu finally couldn't bear it, and gave him a glass of poisoned wine on the eve of the enthronement ceremony, and watched Lin Qingyuan die of poison with his own eyes.

Naturally, no one believes such rumors, and the source cannot be tested. It probably first spread from the west city of Kyoto.

Emperor Taizong was already in power at that time, he scoffed at such rumors, and only asked his beloved Princess Qiyang to send someone to rectify the matter, and he did not pursue it too harshly.

Decades passed, and the rumors were finally lost in the ever-changing years, and no one mentions them now.The majestic city of Chengjing stands tall in the world, and the name Lin Qingyuan is still a dazzling legend in the history books.

On the straight road outside the city, the spacious and comfortable carriage drove smoothly, and the three young women in the carriage listened to Pei Yue telling stories one after another.

After listening, Ye Qi asked unsatisfactorily: "Is it true that Mr. Lin was killed by Emperor Gaozu?"

It was in this carriage that the topic was so straightforward, how could an ordinary mansion have the courage to do so.Needless to say, Pei Yue, Ye Qi has always regarded the rich and powerful as dung, Gu Zhen only has Pei Yue in her eyes, as for Tao Hua sitting in the corner with her arms around her knees, just looking at her relish, you can tell that there is no concept of taboo in her little head.

Pei Yue shook his head and said: "Let's not talk about those scholars, even the royal family's children are hard to know. Lin Qingyuan has a very high status in the hearts of those founding fathers. These people can win every battle, and a stable and rich rear is so important. Not to mention whether Gao Zu had to move that kind of thought, even if he really wanted to kill Lin Qingyuan, it must be an extremely secret method. , this is just the imagination of scholars.”

Ye Qi said suddenly: "I don't think the rumors are all true."

Pei Yue smiled and said: "It's just an old story, just use it as a conversation piece."

There is naturally a mystery hidden in this conversation, because Ye Qi accompanied Pei Yue to meet Pei Zhen, the Duke of Ding, on the island in the middle of the lake in Lingzhou last year, and heard many stories from the other party, including There is a legend about Lin Qingyuan.

Tao Hua looked confused, Gu Zhen looked around, then suddenly moved to Ye Qi and said, "Sister Ye, tell me what's going on."

Before Ye Qi could speak, the carriage stopped suddenly, and the voice of a soldier came from outside: "Your Majesty, we're here."

Ye Qi said softly, "I'll tell you tonight."

Pei Yue looked at the two with a strange expression, saying that since leaving Beijing, the relationship between Ye Qi and Gu Zhen has become closer.When Pei Yue was in the west, the two had been in frequent contact, and now they are as close as sisters.

Gu Zhen couldn't stand Pei Yue's staring eyes, she slightly lowered her head and said, "Brother Pei, is there something wrong?"

Pei Yue stroked his chin and said, "Did you two sleep together recently?"

Gu Zhen was so ashamed that her pretty face was flushed instantly.

Ye Qi casually picked up the pillow and threw it on Pei Yue's body, pretending to be angry and said: "Let you talk nonsense!"

Pei Yue took the pillow with a smile, got up and walked outside, at the same time said to Tao Hua: "Don't be envious, the young master will also whisper to you at night, and we will sleep together too."

"Pei Yue!" Ye Qi scolded softly.

Pei Yue shrank his neck and hurried out of the carriage, and there was a burst of clear and sweet laughter from behind.It's not that he's afraid of being beaten, anyway, he has thick skin and thick skin, the main reason is that he is worried that Ye Qi will directly dismantle this expensive carriage in a fit of anger.

Lin Qingyuan's former residence was located more than ten miles outside the city. The reason why he didn't enclose it when the city was first built was mainly because he didn't want the noise of the world to interfere with the purity of the spirit of this national scholar in heaven.There are beautiful mountains and clear waters here, and there are five hundred troops guarding it, so ordinary people can't get close at all.Of course, for Pei Yue, all this is not a problem.

Pei Yue's personal soldiers guarded the front and rear main roads, and the Xiang army became spectators instead, but these soldiers didn't care, and they finally had a leisurely half day, who wouldn't be happy?
Pei Yue took the three daughters for a walk around the former residence. What surprised him was that the place was well maintained, the house was well-repaired, and the interior was spotless. The former residence is very caring.

He couldn't help but have some different views on the governor Song Ximeng.

The former residence was not big, just a set of three courtyards, and the four of them quickly went back and forth.

The summer sun is scorching hot, but this courtyard is hidden among the greenery, so it doesn't feel hot at all. When the breeze blows, the branches sway slightly, and the sun shines through the gaps on the ground like bits of gold.

The four of them finally came to Lin Qingyuan's study room. There were no manuscripts of his own here. After all, with the technology of this era, if the manuscripts of nearly a hundred years ago were randomly placed in a ventilated place, they would have turned into dust long ago.Because of this, the study looked empty, with only a few things on the table.

Of course Pei Yue brought them here today not on a whim, in fact he wanted to know the story of that famous minister as early as in Kyoto.According to Pei Zhen and Gu Liang, his body is very likely to be a descendant of the Lin family, Ling Ping may be Lin Ping.Although no one can confirm this after Pei Yuan's death, Pei Yue always thinks that this guess is the most likely.

Looking at the empty study in front of him, and imagining the turbulent years a hundred years ago, Pei Yue couldn't help but feel admiration.

At this moment, Tao Hua asked curiously: "Master, what is this?"

Everyone followed the prestige, and saw Taohua standing beside the ancient shelf, holding something in his hand, with a puzzled look on his face.

Ye Qi was about to ask her to put it down so as not to damage the relic of that famous official, but when he turned his head, he found Pei Yue stunned in place.
