Chapter 116 Burning the Country to Mourning
Three days after the death of the former emperor of Zhuo Kingdom, Lingguo, Yaoguo and Dark Kingdom all sent representatives to Zhuoguo to express their condolences.
Lin Muyang, the Taishi, took on the responsibility of reception, because this was a national mourning, and the other three countries came to mourn for their condolences.
Yaoguo sent the prime minister Xiao Zimo. Because the dark country had an unspeakable entanglement with Zhuo, only an inconspicuous official was sent, but Linguo arrived by the prince himself, which can be said to be the highest specification.
Therefore, Lin Muyang is busy, not only to greet the messengers of the Three Kingdoms, but also to deal with domestic reactions.
That morning, the big housekeeper suddenly rushed into Lin Muyang's study and said urgently, "Your Excellency, this is the news from a business under the Lin family industry in Yaoguo. According to the person in charge of the business, this is a woman holding the jade pendant of the head of the Lin family, claiming that she must hand this letter to the adult. !"
The jade pendant of the head of the Lin family?
Lin Muyang's original tired face swept away after hearing these words and said eagerly, "Bring it!"
Who else can have Lin Muyang's jade pendant?!
The housekeeper quickly handed over the thick letter in his hand. Lin Muyang couldn't care about the housekeeper's presence and opened the envelope on the spot.
Lin Muyang fixed his eyes and almost laughed on the spot. He saw three big crooked Chinese characters written on the letter paper: Lin Muyang!
It's okay, at least it's not wrong!
"Lin Muyang, when you received this letter, I already knew why you hurried back to China that day. But it doesn't matter, I won't be angry, because I know that although you are unreliable most of the time, you are still more reliable in big matters! The emperor of Zhuoguo drove to the west. As a master, you must be very busy, right? Be sure to pay attention to rest, or I will be exhausted and won't pay it back! Also, you must be careful, but if there is a change of imperial dynasties, there must be some cleaning. Be careful not to be cleaned off! Xiang Zixi."
Holding this thick letter with few words, Lin Muyang suddenly felt warm when he looked at the letter that could no longer speak vernacularly and had no literary talent at all.
Xiang Zixi didn't know where she heard the news of the death of the emperor of Zhuoguo. I guess she wrote this letter to herself at the first time, right? At the level where she can't write a basket of big words, it's really difficult for her to write so many words in one go.
What's more valuable is that she wrote this letter to remind herself to pay attention to safety, which is enough to make her smile.
Is she worried about herself?
Lin Muyang read it again, as if he could clearly see Xiang Zixi's clumsy appearance of copying Chinese characters with one hand, as if he could see her appearing in her business name pretending to be a ghost and taking out the jade pendant she gave her. She arrogantly ordered the person in charge of the business must put this The letter was delivered in time.
Seeing the long-lost smile on his master's face, the housekeeper breathed a sigh of relief in the bottom of his heart. It seems that the only woman in the world can make their owners smile easily.
The more Lin Muyang thought about it, the greater the smile at the corners of his mouth. He stuffed the letter back into the envelope and put it on the table preciously. Just about to pick up a pen to write a reply, but he didn't know what to write. He hesitated for a long time, but slowly put down the pen in his hand and shook his head helplessly.
"Your Excellency, what do you think is the next step?" The butler asked in a low voice, "But can it still be carried out according to the established plan?"
Lin Muyang said in a low voice, "Everything goes according to the plan!" Also, pay close attention to her news, and I will never allow that to happen again!"
Lin Muyang refers to the Songlin Town incident, which almost put Xiang Zixi in danger.
"Yes!" The housekeeper quickly replied, "This time, more people have been sent. If you find that someone wants to be unfavorable to Miss, you will definitely not be soft!"
Lin Muyang couldn't help laughing when he thought of his subordinates reporting to Zixi pretending to be a ghost into the brothel and fooling around. Under the world, she is probably the only one who is so naughty, right?
I don't know if it was because of the letter to Zixi that Lin Muyang suddenly felt much easier all over her body and felt that the burden was not so heavy.
"Let's go!" Lin Muyang got up and left his study with the housekeeper.
On the desk, the letter lay quietly on the table. The thick envelope is a heavy heart. Whether the other party accepts herself or not, it at least represents her concern.
As soon as he came to the palace, someone came to invite Lin Muyang: "Your Highness, Your Highness the Prince, please!"
Because the prince has not officially ascended the throne, everyone still uses the previous name.
Lin Muyang nodded gently and said lightly, "I know! Are all the guests from all over the world well received?
"If you go back to the master, everything will follow the master's instructions!" The man replied respectfully, "It's just that the prince of Lingguo has been clamoring to see the master. I don't know how to answer. Please ask the master!"
"I'm very busy and don't have time!" Lin Muyang said lightly.
At this time, a joking voice came from the corner: "I know that Your Highness is a busy person, so I came here to find you!"
Lin Muyang looked back and saw the prince coming towards him with a smile, with four beautiful women behind him, all covered with white gauze and plain white skirts. Looking at it, it turned out to be a quadruplets beauty.
"What's your order?" Lin Muyang smiled gently: "But is there a place that is not well served?"
The prince of Lingguo walked to him with a laugh and said to the others, "You all retreat first. I have something to say to Your Highness."
Lin Muyang nodded gently, and everyone quietly retreated and immediately said, "What's your Highness ordered?"
The prince smiled, grabbed Lin Muyang, who was about the same height as himself, and whispered, "Don't pretend!" Do you think I don't know that the old emperor wants to pass on the throne to you?
A fine light flashed in Lin Muyang's eyes, but then it was fleeting and said with a smile, "Your Highness laughed! I, Lin Muyang, am just a master. How can the emperor give me the throne?
Prince Ling said, "Ah, maybe I heard it wrong? Ah ha ha ha! Your Highness, don't be angry! I think it's better for you to be an emperor than that prince! In this way, you and I look at each other north and south——"
When the prince said this, he suddenly laughed again and refused to go on.
Lin Muyang immediately understood the meaning of the prince of Lingguo. The prince of Lingguo is not small. I don't know whether he coveted the dark country or Yaoguo?
Lin Muyang dodged the prince's hand without a trace and said softly, "Your Highness, what you said is getting more and more confused! I won't talk to you anymore. There are still so many things to deal with! When you are really idle, you will have a good gathering!"
Lin Muyang nodded slightly to the prince of Lingguo and turned away.
The prince looked at Lin Muyang's back, and a faint smile appeared at the corners of his mouth. He picked a blooming flower from the wall and put it under his nose and smelled it gently.
"Lin Muyang, you are really hidden!" The prince of the country smelled the flowers in his hand again and turned away from the place.
When he came to the prince's palace, the prince said anxiously as soon as he saw Lin Muyang, "When will I ascend the throne?"
Lin Muyang smiled faintly: "Prince, don't be impatient. There are some things that can't be rushed!"
"How can I not be in a hurry? Now that my father has died for three days, and the whole country has no leader. Didn't you see the three countries in the north staring at us? The prince said impatiently, "Since you have decided to take me to the throne, why don't you let me ascend the throne?"
"I said, the time has not come yet! Prince, don't be impatient!" Lin Muyang still replied faintly, "I have my own arrangements!"
"Lin Muyang, you--" The prince blurted out, "You're not going to threaten the emperor to make the princes, are you?"
Lin Muyang looked at the prince sarcastically and replied calmly, "What do you think?"
The prince was discouraged and sat on the chair. Lin Muyang picked up the teacup on the table, let go, smashed the teacup to the ground, and said faintly, "If the prince moves rashly before he gets my hint, then there is only one ending! The prince doesn't know that many people in the court still have criticism about the prince, right? Acting rashly will only make you more passive! If the prince can trust me, Lin Muyang, then don't move!"
Lin Muyang said this and saluted the prince slightly: "Weichen retreat!"
Seeing Lin Muyang leave, the prince looked at the smashed teacup that had fallen on the ground, watched the dark brown tea seep into the ground, and grabbed the back of the chair with both hands. After a long time, the prince suddenly loosened his hands and gritted his teeth and said, "Lin Muyang, I will definitely make you regret it!"
Lin Muyang left the prince's palace, and the smile at the corners of his mouth slowly floated. Prince, you want to fight with me, but you are still a little young!
The funeral of the old emperor was carried out step by step, and the prince calmed down and never mentioned his accession to the throne.
The prince of Linguo seems to have never looked for anyone again. Except for the necessary etiquette, most of them are simple.
Not to mention the dark country, as long as you can avoid meeting Lin Muyang. The resentment between the Dark Country and the Burning Country cannot be explained in a few words. Especially those who are familiar with that disgraceful history are even more familiar with this topic.
So, everything is going calmly, and everything is running according to Lin Muyang's established route.
In Zhuoguo, the most trustworthy person is probably not the current prince, the future emperor, or even the deceased old emperor, but the imperial master Lin Muyang!
Who doesn't know that the rights in Lin Muyang's hands have far exceeded the rights that a master should have?
