Chapter 88: | 【88】

The queen mother died. According to the Dalin ancestor system, the descendants of the royal family kept their filial piety for two years.
The Queen Mother’s funeral was not long before the New Year. The palace canceled the annual banquet and the reunion banquet. This was the most deserted New Year since Lin Feilu came here.
The marriage of the second prince Lin Jiwen was originally scheduled for the beginning of the spring, but now it can only be postponed. Lin Feilu and Lin Wei, which have not yet been married, are naturally put on hold, and the Emperor Lin finally did not force her to choose a horse, which made Lin Feilu A lot easier.
After Lin Feilu’s comfort, Lin Zhanyuan believed that people would turn into stars in the sky after death. He didn’t cry anymore. Every night, he sat on the threshold and looked at the stars with his cheeks, and wanted to find which one is the emperor. grandmother.
After the empress dowager was buried in the tomb, Lin Ting petitioned to go to the imperial tomb to keep the spirits for a year. The Emperor Lin was ashamed that he had not fulfilled the duties of his children and grandchildren in the later years of the empress dowager, and granted his request.
After the snow melted, the Beijing city that had been silent for many months finally ushered in spring. Although it is still in the mourning period, because it is the joy of the mourning, it will not cause the whole people to be in pain. Apart from the fun and entertainment, everyone should do what they should do and live their lives.
Compared with the death of the Queen Mother, what caught Emperor Lin and courtiers' attention was actually Song State's actions in the past two years.
Since the battle for Liberty City last year, Song Lin and Lin have never confronted each other. They both garrisoned each other at the border to train their soldiers, guarding everything about each other.
When the spring was approaching, there was an emergency report from the frontier, saying that Song Guo's border defense seemed to be mobilized, and the number of troops stationed was increased. The North Korea was immediately ready for battle, and Emperor Lin dispatched generals and waited for Song Dynasty to declare war. As a result, we waited and waited, and we waited for the news that Song Kingdom sent troops to attack the Weiguo who was hiding in the south.
In today's situation, Dalin, Song State, and Yong State stand together, but there is no shortage of small countries like Weiguo that took advantage of the melee in the past to become kings.
Such small countries around Dalin have long been annexed, and now there are only a few dependent countries that pay tribute every year.
However, the Song Dynasty was weak for many years, and the monarch had been slanderous in political affairs. He had no energy or thought to deal with these small neighboring countries, and allowed them to develop for many years without interfering with each other.
Dalin coveted those small countries and wanted to swallow them all, but because they were separated by a Huai River, to send troops to those small countries, they had to pass through the territory of Song Dynasty, so they didn't occupy the geographical advantage and had to give up.
Now that Song Jinglan succeeded to the throne, these small countries have become thorns in his eyes. After rectifying his internal affairs, he should naturally get rid of foreign affairs.
When the Emperor Lin got the news, he immediately announced the general discussion, and wanted to take the opportunity to send troops to Da Song. It turned out that the recent move by Song State had doubled the strength of Dalin at the border. If he wanted to send troops at this time, Emperor Lin would have to send troops from other places.
However, each army and horse has its own task of guarding. Take Shanyongguan as an example. The Yongguo on the other side is eye-catching, and it is a warlike nomad. I hope that the forest army of Shanyongguan will be less so that they can break through.
Emperor Lin was a little speechless: "This Song Guoer dispatched so many soldiers and horses to guard the border, where did he come from so many people to attack and defend the country?"
The military commander replied: "This time he sent troops to defend the country, Emperor Song personally confiscated and only brought 30,000 horses."
Emperor Lin sneered: "Although this person has a bit of conspiracy, he considers himself very high, and he tried to win the defense of the country with 30,000 troops. The old man of the Wei family was also a brave generation at the time, and the children of Song Guo are really overpowered."
As a result, before the end of this spring, the military detective heard the news of Song Guo's victory over Wei Guo and his surrender.
Lin Di who was beaten in the face: "?"
However, this was not the end. After the annexation of Weiguo, in the next year, Song Jinglan personally led the cavalry, conquered the east and the west, rushed for thousands of miles, and broke the surrounding small countries one by one, gradually regaining Huainan.
According to the report from the army, among the soldiers who followed him in the war, there was a group of wicked men who had done evil in the arena. This group of people occupied the mountain as the king, burned, killed, looted, and committed no evil. They also established the Thirteen Villages of Chixiao, and even the decent sects of the rivers and lakes could not help them.
I don't know when, this group of bandits and bandits gradually disappeared. The once awe-inspiring Chixiao Thirteen Villages gradually disappeared and never appeared in the arena again. Someone dared to go up the mountain to investigate, but found that the cottage had been empty.
At first everyone thought it was the internal strife of the thirteen villages, which led to the collapse of the village. It is also said that Ji Liang, the world's number one swordsman, took the bandit village. No matter what, everyone is relieved that such a wicked cottage can disappear.
Unexpectedly, this group of people was actually incorporated into the army by Emperor Song, and they became his powerful men in siege.
There is no official who does not want to be loyal to a powerful king.
Although Song Jinglan killed his father and seized the throne, the methods were brutal, and the throne came to the throne. Since he came to the throne, he has changed his previous style of arrogance and luxury, cut off corrupt officials, weakened officials, strengthened training, and thwarted the outside and inside. Song The national strength has grown stronger and stronger, finally showing a bit of the temperament of the Central Plains hegemon.
Those who once condemned him lost their voices, and those who once opposed him were willing to surrender. Those sluggish worms have been killed by him, and now what is left are all ambitious and capable men.
In just a few years, Song Guo became strong at an astonishing speed, revealing the wolf's fangs.
But Dalin could only watch all of this happen across the Huai River, and could do nothing except to strengthen the army and train.
Emperor Lin wanted to do something, but Yong Guo, the dung-chucking stick, came to harass from time to time, and he couldn't deal with Song Jinglan wholeheartedly.
It is even more impossible to join forces with Yong Guo to deal with Song State. In the past, Yong State beheaded the two generations of Dalin kings, and the body was hung at the gate for half a month to demonstrate. Dalin also slaughtered the entire tribe of Yongguo after the victory. The old, weak, women and children were not spared. The feuds between the two countries were difficult to resolve.
What's more, with Yong's ferocious and greedy national style, once Song is destroyed, he can bite you by turning his head.
The three countries stand together and contain each other, which is the best situation.
Fortunately, all Song Guo's current movements stop at the south of the Huai River. As long as Song Jinglan's hand does not stretch across the Huai River, he has nothing to do with Dalin.
But seeing this opponent is strong, Lin Di still feels restless. He has already looked old two years ago, and his body is deteriorating. He is relying on the pill to maintain his condition. Now the pill is unable to support his physical condition. Up.
It's okay for Lin Di if he is old, but he feels angry and misses the young and strong state. After hearing it, long live, and sitting in the dragon position for a long time, I really think that I am the emperor of the true dragon, who can live forever, and cannot accept the appearance of being old.
When Lin Feilu entered the palace to ask for peace, he heard the news that Emperor Lin had increased the dosage of the pill.
She felt helpless and worried, and after thinking about it, she could only go to Lin Qing.
After the summer this year, Si Miaoran became pregnant, and basically raised her baby in the East Palace. Lin Feilu went to the palace to accompany her more often. Si Miaoran would be very happy when she heard that Princess Yong'an had entered the palace. Every time she sent someone to wait outside the palace and invited her to the east palace after she had finished inviting An.
This time, Lin Feilu passed by without waiting for the court official to invite him.
Si Miaoran was sitting on the soft collapse, embroidering a hat and apron on the unborn baby according to the pattern she painted last time.
Lin Feilu thinks that these ancient women have the potential to be a painter, and this SpongeBob is really embroidered like life.
The two chatted for a while, and Lin Feilu drew her a set of small dinosaurs with clothes and dragged a tail. This was a bit more difficult. Si Miaoran watched for a long time and decided to give it to Brocade Workshop. Palace people do it.
Lin Qing came back after half an hour.
The three people talked happily again, and Lin Feilu called Lin Qing aside, and said with a worried expression: "Prince elder brother, my father has recently increased the dosage of pill, can you persuade him? Dan? Although the medicine currently has the effect of strengthening the body, it can last longer and the side effects will be even greater."
Lin Qing smiled helplessly: "Do you think I haven't persuaded? Last time, I just persuaded a few words, the father became angry and reprimanded me whether he was strong and could not wait to see him grow old. it is good."
Lin Feilu: "..."
Lin Qing sighed, "How dare I persuade you again."
When the emperor got old, there was this problem. The root cause of dissatisfaction with the old was still reluctance to bear the throne. Lin Qing was originally the prince, and persuading too much would cause the suspicion of the Emperor.
The two looked at each other helplessly for a moment, and finally Lin Feilu sighed: "Anyway, you should pay more attention to the movement of the Hall of Nourishment."
She didn't say it clearly, but Lin Qing already knew it and nodded calmly.
Before leaving the East Palace, Lin Qing remembered something, and stopped her and said, "You will be eighteen in the beginning of the new year. Now the funeral of your grandmother is over. Your marriage has been delayed for so long. Last time your father told me about it. It's time to be settled."
Lin Feilu was about to say something, Lin Qing lowered his voice again and said, "You know your father too...Don't worry him too much."
She recalled that she had just gone to the Hall of Nourishing the Heart to ask for peace. She was half leaning against the swollen and swollen and old-fashioned Lin Emperor. She felt a little uncomfortable, but this time she didn't say anything, just silently nodded.
Within two days, when Lin Jingyuan came out of the palace, he brought a stack of portraits to the Princess Yongan Mansion.
Lin Feilu was still kicking the shuttlecock with Lin Zhanyuan, and when he saw the pile of portraits, he couldn't get any energy up.
Lin Jingyuan was very excited and took the portrait on the desk: "Quickly pick, which one do you like?"
Lin Feilu looked at her with interest. Lin Jingyuan frowned and asked, "I don't like it?"
She let out a lazy "um".
Lin Jingyuan thought for a while: "Then tell the fourth brother what you like, and the fourth brother will look for it one by one according to your requirements, that is, go through the entire forest and find people for you!"
Lin Feilu propped his head with his hands, curling the ends of the hair with his fingers, and said, "Gentle."
Lin Jingyuan's expression condensed, and he quickly took down his notes, "What else?"
Lin Feilu's eyelids drooped and his voice lazily said: "High martial arts, strategic, good-looking, especially good-looking in white clothes, he will look into my eyes when talking to me, no matter what I say, he agrees. On my birthday, no matter where he is, he will send gifts to me..."
Speaking of the back, the voice is getting smaller and smaller.
Lin Jingyuan wrote and thought that this was not right.
His only IQ finally came into play at this time: "To be so specific, Xiaolu, do you actually have someone you like?"
Lin Feilu: "..."
What did I say?
Lin Jingyuan put the pen aside: "Who is it? Since you have someone you like, what else to choose? It's the business to settle down earlier."
Lin Feilu was silent for a while, then took the stack of portraits and looked at it again, and said lightly: "It's impossible for me to be with him. It's illusory. I'll pick one of them."
