When I heard that Gao Huai was coming.

Lin Yanchao immediately asked Chen Jichuan to welcome him into the house to talk.

It was still before dawn, and the snow was deep outside.

Gao Huai personally carried a lamp and wore a cloak on his body, and at a glance he knew that he had come in secret, and he didn't want outsiders to know.

In fact, when Gao Huai came to Henan, he and Lin Yanchao did not meet a few times.

In order to avoid suspicion, the two met in public, and only exchanged letters in private, including the plan to deal with Ma Yu this time, which was also planned by Gao Huai and Lin Yanchao in the letter.

This time, Gao Huai personally came to Lin Yanchao's mansion, although it was a secret, but if someone was watching Lin Yanchao's mansion, it would not be able to escape their eyes.

So Lin Yanchao greeted him outside the house and whispered to Gao Huai: "Grandpa Gao, why are you here?" ”

Gao Huai smiled and said, "It's okay, our family has a secret decree of His Majesty." Coming so early, can you disturb Mr. Lin? ”

Gao Huai came to Lin Yanchao's mansion by the secret order of the Son of Heaven, so it can be explained when the two meet.

If someone with a heart plays the Son of Heaven and says that Lin Yanchao has made friends with Zhongguan in private, then he will not be able to eat and walk around like Ma Yucha Lin Yanchao silting the field.

Hearing that there was a secret decree, Lin Yanchao said quietly: "I have already gotten up, father-in-law, please come in and speak." ”

Gao Huai came to Lin Yanchao's study, and when he saw a stove lit in the study and books spread out on the table, he couldn't help but be surprised: "It turns out that Mr. Lin has already gotten up to read so early." ”

Lin Yanchao said with a smile: "When I was young, I had the habit of getting up early to study, and I didn't change it after becoming an official. Now that the New Year is free, I have regained my interest in reading, which makes my father-in-law smile. ”

Gao Huai couldn't help but say: "No wonder the palace often says, among all the Mr. Hanlin, Mr. Lin is the most diligent, and our family only understands this now." ”

Lin Yanchao said with a smile: "I don't dare to be diligent, but I don't dare to live up to what this Yulu gives, as well as the expectations of the Son of Heaven, father-in-law, please sit down!" ”

After Gao Huai sat down, he handed over a secret decree to Lin Yanchao.

After Lin Yanchao bowed, he took the secret order.

Holy decrees are not unusual, Lin Yanchao drafted many holy decrees for the Son of Heaven when he was speaking. Understand the so-called holy decree, this is all the ghostwriting of Hanlin, the Chinese scholars.

But Mi Zhi Lin Yanchao has never seen it.

Legend has it that there are all kinds of secret decrees, but what does a real secret decree look like?

Since it is a secret decree, there is no process of public reading, Lin Yanchao picked it up and read it, but when he saw the content, he showed a suspicious look.

But seeing Gao Huai, he smiled and nodded.

Lin Yanchao put away his suspicious look and continued to look.

But seeing the secret decree, there is no such thing as carrying it in heaven.

It reads, 'Lin Qing, it's already a year since Jingshi died, don't come harmless?' You said that you went to the local ministry to do the work, how did the work go? I want to know, tell me to hear ......'

That's right, what noble secret purpose?

Go cool, this is completely the emperor chatting with you.

Lin Yanchao looked at the secret decree, I will go, it is not the familiar pavilion body, but the legendary imperial book!

That's right, it was written by the current emperor himself!

has been by the emperor's side for many years, and Lin Yanchao will not admit the Son of Heaven's imperial book wrong.

When he first ascended the throne, the Son of Heaven was very fond of calligraphy, and often liked to give his own handwritten books to ministers. For example, the six Japanese speakers were given by the Son of Heaven to 'reproach Chen Shan'.

But later Zhang Juzheng was dissatisfied with the Son of Heaven's focus on calligraphy, believing that the Son of Heaven should learn the way to govern the country, calligraphy is easy to play things and lose morale, and Song Huizong is a lesson from the past.

After Zhang Juzheng did not allow the Son of Heaven to indulge in calligraphy, the Son of Heaven later stopped writing by himself.

Lin Yanchao couldn't help but think to himself, the holy decree is not unusual, and the imperial book is not unusual.

But the holy decree written by the emperor himself, this is a rare treasure, and the descendants who are left behind will be sold in the future, what a lot of money.

Safe, don't worry about buying a house within the Third Ring Road!

Gao Huai didn't know that Lin Yanchao was relieved that he was buying a house for his children and grandchildren, so he couldn't help asking, "Why is Mr. Lin so distracted?" ”

Lin Yanchao's eyes were a little moist, and he looked up to the sky and sighed: "I remember that when I was serving the Wenhua Palace, I talked to the ministers with two or three ministers one day, and went to the place where the Son of Heaven rested in the East Pavilion of the back hall. I saw that there were only a few books under the window, and there were a few books on them, and one or two jade pots, and small goldfish were raised in the pot. On the west wall is a few again, a few pen inkstones are not very rare, the pens are bought in the city, and the pen craftsman Yang Yanzhang is famous. ”

"Now that I see the holy decree written by His Majesty himself, I think of the things that His Majesty uses to live and study, but like an ordinary scholar, it is so simple, I can't help but miss Jun's grace."

Gao Huai was also moved when he saw this, he had served in the Qianqing Palace for many years, and he had a lot of feelings for the Son of Heaven.

Hearing Lin Yanchao say this, it also touched the heartstrings, Gao Huai tried tears with his sleeves and said: "Our family doesn't know what the officials outside and the scholars of later generations say, but in the eyes of our family, the emperor is a good emperor and the first emperor in the ages." ”

Lin Yanchao's words, of course, wanted to be relayed to the Son of Heaven through Gao Huai's mouth.

However, these words are not all sycophants.

When he was a Japanese official, Lin Yanchao got along with the little emperor for several years.

Even if you take this experience purely as a work relationship, you will have a little affection for this person.

The edification of the thought of Confucian scholars and doctors is to be loyal to the monarch and serve the country, so this feeling will be invisibly magnified many times. Moreover, Lin Yanchao has been driving for three years, and in all fairness, the Son of Heaven still has a personality charm, and the most important thing is that he has the grace of knowing himself, and he has always been very good to himself.

Lin Yanchao then looked at the secret purpose, which was completely pure chat, and there was no practical content.

But Lin Yanchao saw a trace of emotion from it, this is like chattering, saying common words, it is a letter from the Son of Heaven, hundreds of words are not typed by the secretary, this friendship is nothing to ordinary people, but it is very rare for the Son of Heaven.

Gao Huai said: "Mr. Lin, when our family returned to Beijing, in addition to asking Ma Yu and King Lu, Your Majesty asked the most about you. Our family didn't dare to find out the relationship with you, but they just said that they didn't know, and then His Majesty became angry and personally wrote this secret letter, asking you to ask for a secret letter and give it to him. ”

"Actually...... In fact, since Your Majesty demoted you to Guide, when you encountered difficult things, you have been mentioned a few times, and then after the days have passed, although I will never say it again, but there is a mention of Henan, Your Majesty will always pay more attention. For more than a year, I see that Your Majesty has long regretted demoting you to Guide. It's just that the emperor has the emperor's face and refuses to say it. ”

"Mr. Lin, if you want to return to Beijing, then you are telling the secret book, then Your Majesty will definitely transfer you back to Beijing."

Lin Yanchao was also very moved when he heard Gao Huai say this, and the Son of Heaven valued himself so much.

But when he heard about returning to Beijing, Lin Yanchao hesitated, and he suddenly remembered what Master Tang reminded him before.
