Cheng Jingcheng's appearance is inseparable from the famous minister named Lin Qingyuan.

Some scholars often lament that Emperor Gaozu and Lin Qingyuan are examples of harmony between the king and the minister.

Before the overthrow of the former Wei Dynasty, chaos was already occurring in the world. A group of heroes occupied land as kings, and the huge empire was divided into more than a dozen separatist territories of different sizes. After Emperor Gaozu's rise, Lin Qingyuan was in charge of the rear for him. It was said that after the Zen spirit died, he managed the territory that Emperor Gaozu led a group of commanders to capture in a very stable manner.

More than ten years have passed, Emperor Gaozu wiped out most of the separatist forces and occupied the heart of the world, leaving only two small regimes in Southern Zhou, Western Wu and southwest. At that time, the conditions for establishing a country were fully ripe. After many important officials and generals persuaded him to advance, he finally announced that the world would ascend the throne, with the country named Liang, and set the capital of the former Wei as Kyoto.

However, it is regrettable that on the eve of the founding of Daliang, Lin Qingyuan, who was overworked and overworked, was unable to heal, and passed away on the eve of the throne ceremony.

It is said that when Lin Qingyuan was in danger, Emperor Gaozu sat in front of his bed, holding his hand and crying bitterly, and almost fainted.

Afterwards, Emperor Gaozu made a big move to demonstrate his achievements and to stabilize the situation in the southern border, and personally named him Chengjing with a meaning to achieve the Daliang Dynasty.

Most scholars are familiar with this story about the king and minister, and naturally admire him and only regret that he cannot meet such a wise ruler. However, there are many people in the world who are strange in their minds who want to have unique ideas, so a terrible rumor spreads like wildfire.

The rumors are not detailed. It only says that although Lin Qingyuan made great contributions back then, he had a strange idea, as if he wanted to limit the power of the king and allow the court officials to restrain him. He was a rebellious minister. Therefore, after he repeatedly criticized Yan for advice, Emperor Gaozu finally could not bear it. He gave a glass of poisonous wine on the eve of the throne ceremony and watched Lin Qingyuan die with his own eyes.

Naturally no one believes such rumors, and the source cannot be verified. It is probably the first to spread from Kyoto Nishiseki.

At that time, Emperor Taizong was already in power, and he scoffed at this rumor, and only asked the most beloved Princess Qiyang to send someone to clear the source of the story in the market, and did not pursue it too seriously.

Decades have passed, and rumors have finally been buried in the changing years, and no one has mentioned them again. The towering Cheng Capital stands in the world, and the name Lin Qingyuan is still a dazzling legend in history books.

On the straight road outside the city, the spacious and comfortable carriage drove smoothly. Three young women in the car listened to Pei Yue telling stories in a mess.

After listening, Ye Qi asked unsatisfiedly: "Is Mr. Lin harmed by Emperor Gaozu?"

It is in this carriage that the topic is so explicit and straightforward. No ordinary mansion has the courage to do this. Needless to say, Ye Qi has always regarded the powerful as dirt. Gu Zhen only has Pei Yue in his eyes. As for the peach blossoms sitting in the corner holding their knees, just looking at her relish, you will know that there is no concept of taboo in her little head at all.

Pei Yue shook his head and said, "Not mentioning scholars, even the royal family members are hard to know. Lin Qingyuan has a very high status in the hearts of those founding elders. Duke Pei Yuan of Dingguo, Duke Luquan of Chengguo and Duke Xian Heng of Chuguo can win every battle. How important is a stable and rich rear? Not to mention whether Emperor Gaozu had to have that kind of thought, even if he really wanted to kill Lin Qingyuan, it must be an extremely secret method. What kind of king and minister confronted poisonous wine to kill is just the imagination of scholars."

Ye Qi suddenly said, "I don't think the rumors are all false."

Pei Yue smiled and said, "It's just an old story, just treat it as a topic of conversation."

There is naturally a mystery hidden in this conversation, because last year, Ye Qi accompanied Pei Yue to meet the Duke of Ding Guo Pei Zhen, on the island in the middle of the lake in Lingzhou, and also heard many stories from the other party, including the legend of Lin Qingyuan.

Taohua looked confused, Gu Zhen looked around and suddenly moved to Ye Qi and said, "Sister Ye, tell me what's going on."

Before Ye Qi could speak, the carriage suddenly stopped, and the voice of the personal soldiers came from outside: "Report to Marquis, you are here."

Ye Qi whispered: "I'll tell you tonight."

Pei Yue looked at the two with a strange expression. He said that since he left Beijing, Ye Qi and Gu Zhen's relationship has become increasingly close. When Pei Yue was in the Western Region, the two had already been in contact with each other from time to time, and now they are as close as sisters.

Gu Zhen couldn't bear Pei Yue's straight look, and lowered her head slightly and said, "Brother Pei, is there anything wrong with it?"

Pei Yue touched his chin and said, "Did you sleep together recently?"

Gu Zhen was very embarrassed, and her pretty face instantly turned red.

Ye Qi picked up the pillow and smashed it on Pei Yue, pretending to be angry and said, "Let you speak nonsense!"

Pei Yue took the pillow with a smile, got up and walked outside, and said to Taohua: "Don't be envious. The young master will also whisper to you tonight, let's sleep together."

"Pei Yue!" Ye Qi rebuked lightly.

Pei Yue shrank his neck and rushed out of the carriage. A crisp and pleasant laugh came from behind him. He was not afraid of being beaten, but he was not afraid of being bad and thick-skinned, mainly because he was worried that Ye Qi would take action to dismantle the very expensive carriage in anger.

Lin Qingyuan's former residence is located more than ten miles outside the city. The reason why he did not surround the city when he was founded was mainly because he did not want the noise of the world to collide with the purity of the spirit of the heaven. The mountains and rivers are beautiful here, and there are five hundred wings guards, so ordinary people cannot get close to it at all. Of course, for Pei Yue, all this is not a problem.

Pei Yue's personal soldiers guarded the front and back roads, but the wing army became spectators, but these soldiers didn't care. After finally being able to relax for half a day, who would be unhappy?

Pei Yue took his three girls to stroll around the former residence. What surprised him was that the place was maintained very well, the house was repaired very strongly, and the house was not stained with dust. It can be seen that the governor's mansion was very concerned about this former residence.

He couldn't help but have some different views on the governor Song Ximeng.

The former residence is not big, it only enters a three-bedroom courtyard, and the four of them quickly walked around.

The sun is scorching in summer, but this courtyard is hidden among the green and green, so it is not hot at all. When the breeze blows, the branches gently shake, and the sunlight passes through the gap and sprinkles on the ground like broken gold.

The four of them finally came to Lin Qingyuan's study room. There was no manuscript here. After all, with the technology of this era, if the manuscripts from nearly a hundred years ago were placed randomly in the ventilation area, they would have turned into dust. Because of this, the study room seemed empty, with only a few things on the table.

Of course, it was not a whim for Pei Yue to bring them here today. In fact, he wanted to know the story of the famous minister as early as in Kyoto. According to Pei Zhen and Gu Liang, his body is very likely to be a descendant of the Lin family, and Ling Ping may be Lin Ping. Although no one could confirm this after Pei Yuan passed away, Pei Yue always felt that the possibility of this speculation was the greatest.

Looking at the empty study room in front of you and imagining the turbulent years ago, Pei Yue couldn't help but feel a little admiration.

At this moment, Taohua asked curiously: "Young Master, what is this?"

Everyone looked in the sound and saw Taohua standing next to the ancient shelf, holding something in her hand, with a puzzled look on her face.

Ye Qi was about to let her go so as not to destroy the famous minister's belongings, but when he turned around, he found Pei Yue was stunned.
