Chapter 554 Dumb Maid (1)
Lin Wei smiled: "After leaving for many years, the Empress Dowager Feng's health will be healthy, and Lin Wei will feel relieved."
Aunt Yang lowered her eyes and continued to pound the shoulders carefully for Queen Mother Yide, but she was a little absent-minded and her strength was not as good as before. Queen Mother Yide didn't notice it, turned her eyes away, and seemed to close her eyes slightly, and said indifferently: "For so many years, the Ai family has never heard of you, where have you been?"
There was no tone of blame in this, just like an old friend reminiscing about the past. Lin Wei knelt on the ground and replied, "I haven't gone anywhere, I've been here all the time."
Empress Dowager Yide's breathing slightly stopped and then said, "Are you in the capital?"
"That's right." Lin Wei replied.
Empress Dowager Yide was silent for a while and suddenly smiled: "So that's it. No wonder the emperor can't find you anywhere. You should be by his side... You have protected him for so many years.... Lin Wei, you have even deceived the Ai family."
"I just want to take good care of my little master," Lin Wei replied: "The crown prince entrusted the little master to the prince, and also to the wee minister. I vowed to follow Your Highness to the death and live for the little master in my life."
The hall was silent for a while. After a long time, Empress Dowager Yide waved her hand a little tiredly: "Your words have always been believed in the Ai family. Since he entrusted his son to you, even if he believed in you, there was nothing to say in the Ai family." She sighed: "But, I feel wronged you."
"Weicheng doesn't feel wronged." A smile appeared on Lin Wei's face. This smile made his originally solemn expression softer. He actually felt the romantic and wantonness of the former beating Ma Hongxiu Tower in a trance. Only the expression flashed by, and replaced by a kind of relief: "Weicheng watched the little master grow up, the little master lose his teeth when he walked for the first time, and now he is still watching the little master marrying his wife. Weicheng has completed the entrusted by His Highness, but we don't feel wronged."
This was sincere and Aunt Yang was not moved when she heard it. Empress Dowager Yide paused and changed the subject and said, "Then why did you enter the palace today?"
After more than ten years, Tanhualang, who lived a down-to-earth life in his incognito, re-realization means that his identity is about to be revealed. This is undoubtedly a loss for Lin Wei, who has been hiding for many years, but he still did this. What made him rather abandon his current stable life and enter the palace? It must not be because of glory and wealth. If he really wanted glory and wealth, Lin Wei would not resign from his post many years ago. In fact, both of them knew exactly what the purpose was.
"The Empress Dowager, the Empress Dowager, was the one who wanted to assist the monarch of the world. Later, the Crown Prince passed away. Even if the Wei is a skill, he would have no use of martial arts. Now that the wise king appears again, the Wei minister still wants to assist the princess."
"Rareless!" Before Lin Wei finished speaking, Empress Dowager Yide reprimanded: "Are you saying that the emperor is not a wise monarch? Lin Wei, you are so brave!"
If this was said when the emperor was alive, I was afraid that Lin Wei’s ten heads would not be enough to cut off. What he meant was that the wise ruler he recognized was Prince Hong Xi, so it was not Prince Hong Xi who took the position later, which didn’t matter to Lin Wei. He disdained to assist!
When Lin Wei heard Empress Dowager Yide's angry words, he did not beg for mercy. He still knelt quietly on the spot, but his back was straight, and he suddenly saw a sense of incomparable stubbornness. Obviously, he did not think that he was wrong in his words.
The atmosphere of catching the inner ghost in the hall became extremely tense in an instant, and Aunt Yang couldn't help but hold her breath. I don't know how long it took to stop the stalemate before he heard Empress Dowager Yide sneer: "You are really as bold as before!"
If Liu Min, who was from the imperial examination at the same time as Lin Wei, was also a straightforward and stubborn person, but it was far inferior to Lin Tanhua at the time. When the late emperor was alive, he did not like Prince Hong Xi, but he admired Lin Wei very much. Lin Wei had the courage to stroke the tiger's beard and had the ability to relieve the tiger's irritability. He was a lawless lord. Many people in the court dared not say anything, so he said it in front of the emperor without hesitation. Even if sometimes it touched the previous emperor's reverse scales, it was thunder and raindrops in the end.
In fact, Lin Wei is very smart. The most taboo thing for those who are in power is that their subjects can completely understand their thoughts. If the subject is too smart, it is not a good thing. In the eyes of the emperor, Lin Wei is the most unscrupulous person. If he has three or two points of talent, he is a rare talent. Lin Wei is straightforward and happens to have seven or eight points of talent. The emperor is very satisfied and naturally he will not punish him easily.
Now seeing that Lin Wei was still evaluating the emperor unscrupulously in front of Empress Dowager Yide, Empress Dowager Yide was a little stunned, as if her eyes were passing through the man kneeling on the ground in front of him and returned to the original Golden Palace. Nothing happened at that time. She closed her eyes and said in a deep voice: "Forget it, the old emperor didn't care about you, what's the Ai family to care about?" She looked at Lin Wei, and her eyes suddenly became sharp: "What do you want to do?"
"I beg the Queen Mother to allow me to accept the imperial edict of the late emperor to join the officialdom—" Lin Wei said.
As soon as these words came out, Aunt Yang couldn't help but stop the movement in her hand and looked at Lin Wei with a look of shock.
"When the old emperor was alive, he gave me a decree. As long as I wish, I will be a minister of the dynasty for life." Lin Wei continued: "I resigned from my post and retired, but the imperial edict is still there. Now I dared to beg the Empress Dowager to beg me for the kindness of my husband. I will ask myself to join the official position--"
"You are crazy..." Empress Dowager Yide murmured.
The minister who had been away from the temple for many years suddenly became an official inexplicably one day. This matter would only be ridiculous when everyone heard this. However, Lin Wei still looked serious and serious. Neither Aunt Yang nor Empress Dowager Yide thought he was joking.
"Even if you hold the imperial edict of the former emperor, this move is contrary to the official ritual and will inevitably cause countless rumors. What are you talking about?" Empress Dowager Yide said coldly. His eyes looked at Lin Wei a little complicated. Lin Wei said that if there is an imperial edict in his hand, there must be an imperial edict. However, for so long, every turmoil in the court in the court is closely related to the possible situation in the future. At this time, Lin Wei picked up the official position, wouldn't he take the handle to others? Although Empress Dowager Yide called for the wind and rain when he was young, he had to accept his old age. These days, the pressure given by the people who supported Xuan Li was also very difficult. She dared not think about what kind of turmoil would cause when the truthful news of Lin Wei was spreading.
"I am not making trouble," said Lin Wei. "The wise king has come out, but I am just doing my best to assist my ministers and sincerely, and I hope the Empress Dowager will fulfill it."
