Joy of Life: Starting from the Prince of Zhennan in Northern Qi!

Chapter 120: Live longer and you win!
Yang Xiu was really hungry.

That meal was so cool.

Lin Ruofu was stunned by the show.

He could understand that Yang Xiulai was trying to recruit him, or to divide his loyalty to Nanqing.

He even speculated that Yang Xiu was planning to stroll around the Lin Mansion and then alienate the relationship between him and Emperor Qing.

But he never expected it.

Yang Xiulai did say a lot, and it also planted a seed in his heart.

Just wanted to continue chatting.

Finally, people started to eat.

The key is that it tastes delicious.

Lin Ruofu was completely confused.

Looking at the food on the table, there's nothing wrong.

This is what I usually eat.

It doesn’t taste that good either?
The cook in the mansion was changed? How come he didn't know about this?
Out of curiosity, Lin Ruofu also took a bite of the dish.

You know what, you really shouldn't say it, it does seem to be quite delicious.

I don't know if it's psychological.

Lin Ruofu really felt that today's food tasted much better.

While eating.

A figure walked into the hall.

Bow to Lin Ruofu.

"Father! I heard that there are guests in the mansion today! So, I came to pay a visit!"

Yang Xiu put down his chopsticks.

Looking at the person coming.

He looks like he is two or three years older than Yang Xiu.

The skin is slightly dark.

He looks quite energetic.

Lin Ruofu said: "Gong'er, come and meet His Royal Highness the Prince of Qi!"

Lin Gong bowed to Yang Xiu and said, "Lin Gong greets His Royal Highness the Prince of Qi!"

Yang Xiu politely replied: "I have heard that Prime Minister Lin has both a son and a daughter. The eldest son is simple-minded, the second son is tactful, and the remaining daughter is a kind-hearted and elegant woman! Prime Minister Lin is so lucky!"

Yang Xiu's words actually made Lin Ruofu and Lin Gong, father and son, feel more favorable toward him.

In fact, everyone in Kyoto knows that Prime Minister Lin has two sons and one daughter.

The daughter is the illegitimate daughter of the eldest princess, and the eldest son is a stupid and foolish boy.

There is only one second son, Lin Gong, who is the only hope of the Lin family.

However, when it comes to Yang Xiu, the idiot boy is simple-minded and the illegitimate daughter is kind-hearted.

This made it difficult for Lin Ruofu and Lin Gong, father and son, who had always attached great importance to family, to not have a good impression of each other.

In fact, Yang Xiu had no other purpose in saying this.

That’s what I think in my heart.

Lin Ruofu is considered an outlier in Joy of Life.

In Joy of Life, the whole story is full of power struggles and unscrupulous means.

However, there are two people that Yang Xiu admires the most.

The first one is Fan Jian, and the second one is Lin Ruofu.

Lin Ruofu was appointed prime minister.

According to the normal thinking of a prime minister, Lin Ruofu must be the kind of person who does not care about his relatives and will do anything to gain power.

However, on the contrary, Lin Ruofu attaches great importance to family affection.

He would go and question Emperor Qing because of Lin Gong's death.

For the sake of Lin Dabao and Lin Wan'er's future happiness, he was able to suppress his worries and wholeheartedly support Fan Xian.

Could it be that Lin Ruofu really couldn't guess that Lin Gong's death was related to Fan Xian?

That is impossible.

Lin Ruofu's wisdom is terrifying.

Although it seems to be subtle in the original book.

But the several times he made plans, he always hit the key points. And after being rooted in the court for many years, can he hold that position with his own talents?
How can it be?

The officialdom is actually very realistic.

Talent is a key, but it is definitely not a road.

To secure that position, one can imagine what Lin Ruofu’s level is.

Not to mention, Lin Ruofu’s power is so terrifying.

This is what he has been doing for many years.

This shows that Lin Ruofu is a very scheming person.

In this case, Lin Gong's death was blamed on Si Gu Jian by Chen Pingping.

But how could Lin Ruofu really believe it?

It was nothing more than a prelude for Emperor Qing to take action against Northern Qi.

He knew very well that his son had become a victim of interests.

But he endured the revenge for his son's murder.

Why?
For himself? Is Lin Ruofu afraid of death?
He is not afraid of death.

He is already that age, what does he have to be afraid of?

The only thing he was afraid of was the future of Lin Dabao and Lin Wan'er.

Lin Ruofu didn't know the truth, but he knew very well that Lin Gong's death was closely related to Fan Xian.

But he still endured it.

It’s all for Lin Dabao and Lin Wan’er.

Anyone can see that Fan Xian is favored.

Lin Ruofu could naturally see it as well.

He knew very well that if he was gone one day, the only one who could protect the two of them would be Fan Xian.

Therefore, he would rather hide the hatred of his son's murder and help Fan Xian.

It is to pave the way for the eldest son and daughter.

In this respect, Lin Ruofu is truly a great father.

You can say he has many bad points, but the only bad thing about him is the way he treats his children.

Even if it was Yang Xiu, it cannot be said that he did not do a good job.

Therefore, Lin Ruofu is also a person with obvious weaknesses.

Yang Xiu really felt that Lin Ruofu was a talented person.

But he had a system and no shortage of talent, and his real desire to recruit Lin Ruofu was just a whim.

In other words, he didn't want his favorite character to have the same ending as in the original novel.

This should be the fate of a time traveler.

Otherwise, what's the point of traveling through time?
Lin Ruofu said: "My son is far inferior to Your Highness! You are the same age, Your Highness will have to give more advice to my useless son in the future!"

Yang Xiu smiled and said, "Brother Lin is already very good! With Prime Minister Lin standing behind him, he doesn't have the habit of bullying the weak! It's rare!"

Lin Gong said quickly, "Your Highness, thank you for the compliment! I have heard of your name for a long time, but I have never had the chance to meet you. Now I meet you! Your Highness is indeed a handsome man! No wonder he has become the brightest new star in the entire continent!"

Yang Xiu said, "You're welcome! I don't deserve to be called a rising star, but I am definitely a thorn in the eye! There are many people on this continent who want to kill me!"

Lin Gong is young after all.

After hearing this, I really couldn't follow it.

Lin Ruofu took over the conversation.

"But His Highness is still alive and well, isn't he?"

Yang Xiu nodded: "Indeed! There are many people who want to kill me, but unfortunately they can't! I am alive and well here, and I will even live for a long time! This world is very simple, only those who survive are qualified to be called winners! I have no other advantages, I can only survive! So, who else can be the final winner but me?"

Lin Ruofu and Lin Gong looked at Yang Xiu.

Silent for a long time.

Neither of them expected that Yang Xiu would actually say such a thing.

This is too arrogant.

But when the two looked at Yang Xiu at this time, they always felt that Yang Xiu was just interpreting a fact.

It seems that there is no intention of exaggeration at all.

Lin Ruofu said: "Your Highness's bold words are beyond my reach! However, there is actually a question that I am a little confused about! I wonder if Your Highness can explain it to me!"

Yang Xiu smiled and said, "Minister Lin, are you asking why I chose to come to Nanqing in person? It's really unnecessary to put myself in danger!"
