Chapter 6 Old General Lin

Shen Chang'an naturally didn't know that Liuli had made up so much in these few seconds, she cleared her throat, and said: "A few days ago, an old man with a white beard entered my dream, saying that he was Shennong, and God has a good life. Zhide, he couldn't bear the suffering of our Dajin people suffering from hunger, so he went down to earth to guide me to find the divine food..."

"Stop, stop, stop!"

Liuli was even more terrified. If the empress dug the hole, she would be fine if she didn't jump, but obviously her own princess is bewildered now!

OMG!

Could it be that I read too many story books, the princess is crazy!
[Hahaha, cub, stop talking, little friend Liuli is about to cry! 】

【Liu Li: I think you're cheating on me, and found a trace of evidence. 】

[Liu Li: Crazy, crazy, my princess is crazy! 】

【Liuli: If I am guilty, please let the law punish me instead of facing the crazy princess】

"what are you thinking?"

Seeing the barrage, Shen Changan said speechlessly, "I'm not crazy, it's true!"

In order to increase the degree of authenticity, Shen Changan also took out the ancient book that asked Xiaoyi to make an old book, "Look, this is given to me by Lord Shennong, and it says the method of planting..."

Liuli remained silent, with "Don't lie to me just because I haven't read" written all over her face.

Shen Changan had no choice but to say, "Let's do this. Although we have to hand over the sacred food to the emperor, in order to ensure its authenticity, we will plant it in Qiwu Palace first, and then hand it over to the emperor after it is confirmed."

Liuli breathed a sigh of relief when she heard her say this, "Princess, let's be more careful."

Shen Changan nodded indiscriminately.

Liuli felt that the princess was perfunctory to her, so she decided not to dress the princess later.

A quarter of an hour later, Shen Chang'an changed into a skirt and gown bestowed by Emperor Xuan of Jin, and Liuli excitedly tied her up into a double bun, adorning it with a pair of twining silver roses, which just matched the roses on the skirt.

There was a special sedan chair in Qiwu Palace, Shen Changan sat on it, stroked the small three-inch wooden sword in his hand, and familiarized himself with the prepared words in his heart.

At that time, if Emperor Xuan of Jin thought of all kinds of good things about old general Lin inadvertently, he couldn't do it deliberately. After all, the fact that old general Lin defected to the enemy and treason had never been known to everyone.

Today she has to do another big thing - to prevent Emperor Xuan of Jin from putting Lin Wanyi in prison.

Lin Wanyi is the granddaughter of old general Lin. Old general Lin lost his wife in middle age and had only one son. The son died in a battle, and his daughter-in-law was pregnant at the time. After hearing the news, she died of dystocia.

In Old General Lin's general's mansion, only he and his little granddaughter were left to depend on each other, but misfortunes never come singly. The granddaughter was blind due to dystocia, and her bones were not good.

After finally raising his little granddaughter until she was eight years old, Old General Lin was sent to the northwest border to attack the Northern Wei army that was about to move.

A few days ago, there was an urgent report from the frontier that Old General Lin lost to the army of the Northern Wei Dynasty. Unfortunately, he was captured and defected to the enemy and treason.

Emperor Xuan of Jin was furious, and the treacherous ministers offered slander, so he ordered the family members of General Lin's mansion to be thrown into prison.

In the previous life, although Old General Lin returned to Beijing in time and proved his innocence with the peace appeal document from the Northern Wei Dynasty, Lin Wanyi did not have a good life in the prison, and has been lingering in bed since he came out.

After this incident, Old General Lin was disappointed. After that war, he resigned as General Hussars.

The loss of a brave, courageous and strategic general in the Jin Dynasty had a great impact on the frontier, and also shook the morale of the army for a while.

【Alas, the soldiers in ancient times were not afraid of death, what they were most afraid of was that the monarch did not trust them. 】

[Yes, yes, I don’t know how many famous patriotic generals did not die at the hands of the enemy, but died because of the monarch’s suspicion! 】

[I heard from the plot introduction that besides the emperor's suspicion, there are treacherous ministers offering slander, who is so shameless? The old general Lin is old and still defending his family and country at the border, but he is a villain behind his back. Oh tui! 】

Shen Changan played with the wooden sword in his hand, and said in his heart: 【It's Taiwei Qi. 】

There was sarcasm in her voice: [Everyone thinks Taiwei Qi is a Confucian general, with elegant demeanor, both civil and military, but who would know that he is an out-and-out despicable villain behind his back? 】

Both the Qi family and the Lin family belonged to a family of military generals, but because the Lin family had only Old General Lin supporting the Lin family's lintel alone, Emperor Xuan of Jin was very relieved to hand over a large part of the military power to Old General Lin.

As the old general Lin gained more military power, Taiwei Qi naturally had less power. Emperor Jin Xuan was also preventing his relatives from becoming powerful.

But who doesn't want such things as military power?

The emperor is generally very suspicious, and the news of old general Lin defecting to the enemy and treason came from his confidantes, and Taiwei Qi was instigating in order to seize the military power...

Shen Chang'an remembered that in the previous life, besides Liuli, Old General Lin was the best person to her, and he often took her to play in the Lin Mansion. Emperor Xuan of Jin also turned a blind eye because of his guilt towards the old general.

At that time, she and Wan Yi were considered close friends in the boudoir, and if they could help out in this life, they would be considered as close friends.

"Princess, we are here."

Shen Changan's new second-class maid, Bai Zhi, said softly.

Shen Changan opened his eyes, looked at the dark crowd of ministers outside the imperial study not far away, and then got off the sedan chair.

"You guys wait here."

After finishing speaking, Shen Changan went to the imperial study room alone.

Eunuch You had just persuaded the kneeling minister, when he saw Shen Changan approaching, he hurried to Shen Changan and asked her why she came.

"Eunuch, I'm here to find my father."

Shen Chang'an asked naively: "What are those ministers doing? Why are they kneeling? They did something wrong. Did the emperor punish them?"

"Princess," Eunuch You explained, "The adults are begging His Majesty for mercy, and the emperor is annoyed. Do you want the princess to go back first? When the emperor is in a better mood, the princess will come again?"

Shen Changan frowned, and asked: "Why is the father angry? But they made the father angry?"

"Elder-in-law, I want to go in and have a look at Emperor Father, so I can't be angry, it will hurt my health!"

After Shen Chang'an finished speaking, he went to the imperial study room. Eunuch You stopped her for a moment, but did not stop her.

He has been serving the emperor since he was a child, so he naturally knows the emperor's temper. The emperor was out of breath, coupled with the slanderous words of treacherous ministers, this is why today's court minister pleaded for old general Lin.

The eldest princess is deeply favored by the emperor. Perhaps, the emperor will spare the Lin family girl for the time being because old general Lin saved the eldest princess.

"Father," Shen Changan poked his head out from the door, and ran all the way to Emperor Jin Xuan.

Emperor Xuan of Jin, who was reading the memorial, saw that it was Shen Chang'an who came in, and his expression eased, he put down the memorial, and said in a gentle voice, "Why is Chang'an here?"

Standing on tiptoe, Shen Changan picked up the teapot on the table and poured Emperor Jin Xuan a cup of tea, "Father, drink the tea first."

"Okay," Emperor Xuan of Jin looked at his daughter who was full of concern in his eyes, and he was in a good mood, "It's better for my Chang'an to be good."

Shen Changan pursed her lips and smiled, and when Emperor Jin Xuan finished drinking tea, she asked curiously: "Father, why did the ministers kneel at the door? Did they make a mistake?"
