Chapter 955: Flexibility
"Uncle Nineteen, what's wrong?"
Lin Fu was about to help Lin Ran into the carriage, but found that he suddenly couldn't stand still, and couldn't help but ask suspiciously, and asked with a faint trace of worry in his eyes.
Lin Ran's brows furrowed, and he turned his head and asked seriously, "You...... Just said flexible? ”
"That's right! Dumb is stupid, there is no one in the market this night, and I don't know how to be flexible at all! Lin Fu pointed to the dumb next to him, and accused him as a matter of course.
Dumb looked very nervous and scared, and looked at Lin Ran pitifully. Once he was driven back to Changlin Village by Lin Ran, not to mention his kindness to Lin Ran, he really couldn't raise his head in the village.
This carriage is far more than a profession, it is a heavy mission, and it is also the most glorious thing in his family.
Lin Ran looked at Dumb's nervous appearance, so he patted Dumb's shoulder, and said with a gentle smile on his face: "It's okay, just remember next time!" ”
"Uncle Nineteen, I'...... I won't make a mistake next time, please don't drive me back to the village!" Dumb looked at Lin Ran gratefully and assured loudly.
Lin Ran looked at him like this, but said with a smile: "Who said I was going to drive you back?" I was thinking about something just now, but you made me figure it out by being so upset! ”
"Really?" Dumb's eyes immediately brightened, and the whole person seemed to have eaten honey.
"Yes, not only will I not punish you, but I will reward you!" Lin Ran looked very amused, and pointed to Lin Fu who was full of anticipation on the side: "And you, you woke me up!" ”
"Thank you, Uncle Nineteen!" Lin Fu is the most good-looking, and he faintly has a little capital to brag about, and immediately thanked him.
This was only a small episode on the way back, and the carriage quickly drove back to the accommodation.
Lin Ran got out of the carriage and looked up at the Lin Mansion with two red lanterns, and immediately felt a sense of kindness. No matter how deceitful you are in the officialdom, this place will always be a warm harbor.
"Where's the tiger girl?"
Lin Ran stepped over the threshold and asked directly to the old butler who greeted him. Although it was already night, Tiger Niu was not at home, and he didn't dare to hold out much hope.
The old butler seemed to have known that there would be such a question, and this question was almost a daily must, so he replied gently: "Miss, you should still be practicing swords!" ”
Sword training?
Lin Ran's brows furrowed slightly, and the excitement on his face dissipated a little, but he thought of a small problem.
Although this is an era when the eldest brother is the father, the bronze sword has become the new favorite of the tiger girl, and he is going to do something to snatch love tonight, which is undoubtedly a little cruel to the tiger girl.
Passing through a corridor and entering the Hanging Flower Gate, you will come to a wide courtyard.
The place is brightly lit and a group of people are gathered in the courtyard. But I saw the tiger girl holding a bronze sword and gesturing there, although she was not tall, she faintly had a bit of chivalrous demeanor.
With the perseverance of the tiger girl, if she was born in the martial arts world, I am afraid that she will really become a generation of heroines. But it's a pity that there are no real martial arts masters in this era, only some fierce generals and reckless men.
Ay......
Lin Ran stood aside and watched, just looking at the bronze sword in her hand, but she sighed gloomily in her heart.
"Brother, you're finally back! I'll tell you! After Hu Niu finished dancing a set of swordsmanship, she looked at Lin Ran standing not far away, her eyes immediately lit up slightly and said in a crisp voice.
"I have something to tell you, too!" Lin Ran decided to strike first, picked up his brother's shelf and said with a straight face.
Hu Niu's brows couldn't help frowning, and she complained slightly: "Oh, I spoke first, so let's say it!" "Although my brother is different from the past, she still seems to be very generous.
"I'm going to give away this sword!"
Lin Ran pointed to the bronze sword in Hu Niu's hand, looking unrighteous and retorting.
Hu Niu turned her head to look at the bronze sword in her hand, her eyes looked a little reluctant, and asked seriously: "Brother, who are you giving it to?" Can't you leave it to me? I like it! ”
Lin Ran faced the big clear eyes of the tiger girl, and felt a debt in his heart, but he still replied firmly: "This sword must be given out, and it must be given to King Yu!" ”
Anything that can be turned into something good can be done if you know how to be flexible.
Lin Ran had been thinking about how to get benefits from Jiajing before, so he thought of Wu Shan, Yin Tai and Wang Bai, and vetoed the most handsome himself, but fell into a big mistake in thinking.
He offered the bronze sword directly to Jiajing, which was indeed easy to gain the notoriety of the ministers, and it was likely to be attacked in the next Longqing Dynasty. It's just that he didn't directly dedicate the bronze sword to Jiajing, but to the bronze sword to Emperor Longqing, the current King Yu?
King Yu, although he is the first heir to the throne, is in a very awkward situation.
King Yu did not receive the crown prince canonization like his two dead elder brothers, thus confirming his status as kings. At the moment, he followed his ambitious younger brother King Jing to belong to the same vassal king, and it was rumored in Beijing that Jiajing was interested in King Jing.
If it is in other dynasties, there must be important ministers who continue to ask King Yu to be crowned princes, fighting for the status of this monarch for King Yu, but it is a pity that it is in this traitorous Jiajing Dynasty.
Yan Song and Xu Jie are both smart people, knowing that the emperor pursues immortality, how could they get too close to the "monarchs", let alone take great political risks to ask for the registration of King Yu.
What's more critical is that King Yu has no heirs so far, which is invisibly inferior.
It is precisely because of this that King Yu is not only not treated by Jiajing at the moment, but also by the ministers, and he has no heirs, and now he is just in a more difficult moment.
In contrast, King Jing not only already has an heir, but also has the secret support of Yan Shifan.
Especially the latter, King Jing seemed to have a lot of money on hand, and he was able to collect some treasures in the capital and give them to Jiajing to show his filial piety, thus winning more Jiajing's awards.
As the saying goes, the icing on the cake is not as good as sending charcoal in the snow.
Lin Ran believed that presenting this treasure to King Yu, although there would be no political return at the moment, but he bet the treasure on the future, and the reward would definitely be worth it.
Of all the political speculations, Conglong is undoubtedly the largest political speculation, and the returns received are also the greatest.
Gao Gong is just a Hanlin official with no background, but with this teacher-student relationship with King Yu, he entered the cabinet smoothly and served as the first assistant of the Ming Dynasty.
As soon as he thought of this, Lin Ran suddenly had an idea and decided to give this treasure to King Yu, who was in trouble. Give up your immediate interests in exchange for a handsome reward for the general.
