Lin Yi walked out of the palace, his heart filled with overwhelming grief, but his expression remained resolute. He knew that at this moment, he was not only An Lushan, but also the guardian of the Great Tang Dynasty, and the future assistant to the crown prince. He had to quickly adapt to this new identity and learn how to establish himself in the complex and ever-changing court of the Tang Dynasty.
"Esteemed gentlemen, Your Highness is gravely ill, and the court is in turmoil. As loyal subjects, how should we conduct ourselves?" Lin Yi stood in front of the council hall, his voice strong and his gaze unwavering.
The ministers in the court discussed fervently, some suggesting the enthronement of the crown prince, while others proposed seeking a renowned physician to treat Your Highness. Lin Yi listened quietly, but his mind was already calculating. He knew that the most important thing at this moment was to stabilize the court and prevent external enemies from taking advantage of the situation.
"I believe that we should first support the crown prince's ascension to the throne to stabilize the court," Lin Yi broke the silence, "at the same time, we should strengthen the city's defense patrols to ensure the safety of Fanyang City."
"Lord An is absolutely right!" an old minister stood up in support of Lin Yi's proposal, "the crown prince is virtuous and wise, and will surely lead the Great Tang to prosperity."
Lin Yi nodded and continued, "In addition, we also need to find a renowned doctor to diagnose and treat Your Highness. Your Highness's health is crucial to the stability of the entire court."
The ministers all expressed their approval, and the atmosphere in the council chamber gradually became solemn. Lin Yi knew that this was only the first test in his new role, and the road ahead was still long.
In the following days, Lin Yi began to study diligently the etiquette and culture of the Tang Dynasty. He knew that as an assistant minister, he must deeply understand the workings of the court and its cultural heritage. He read a large number of ancient texts and historical books, exchanged ideas with the literati and ink artists in the court, and gradually began to integrate into this poetic society of the Tang Dynasty.
One day, Lin Yi was wandering in the palace when he suddenly heard a melodious sound of a zither. He followed the sound and saw a woman in white sitting in a pavilion by the lake playing the zither. The sound of the zither was as clear as flowing water and as melodious as the mountain breeze, causing Lin Yi to involuntarily stop and listen.
"What a beautiful rendition of 'High Mountains and Flowing Water'!" Lin Yi couldn't help but exclaim.
The woman looked up and saw that it was Lin Yi. She smiled slightly and said, "Lord An also appreciates the melody?"
Lin Yi shook his head modestly and said, "I dare not claim to understand, I just enjoy listening."
The woman smiled lightly and continued to play the guqin. Lin Yi sat in the pavilion, quietly listening. Though they did not speak, their hearts were already connected.
Gradually, Lin Yi began to encounter more scholars and dignitaries. They either composed poetry and painted, enjoyed tea and discussed philosophy, or talked about major affairs. Through these interactions, Lin Yi gradually learned how to use wisdom to handle various complex relationships and matters.
However, just as he was beginning to adapt to this new body, a greater crisis quietly approached. One night, while Lin Yi was in his study dealing with official business, he suddenly heard a series of urgent knocks on the door.
"Lord An! Something bad has happened! There are people plotting a rebellion!" A guard rushed in, panting and flustered.
Lin Yi was shocked and quickly asked, "Who are these people? What are their plans?"
The guard replied, "They are some dissatisfied courtiers who oppose the crown prince's ascension. They want to collude with foreign enemies to launch a rebellion."
Lin Yi took a deep breath, knowing this was a huge challenge. He had to act quickly to stop the rebellion and protect the stability and security of the Tang Dynasty.
"Immediately gather the loyal soldiers and courtiers to prepare to counter the rebellion!" Lin Yi ordered decisively.
The guards nodded in agreement and quickly conveyed the orders. Lin Yi then put on his armor, wielded his long sword, and personally led the soldiers to the location of the rebellion. After a fierce battle, they successfully quelled the rebellion and brought the rebels to justice.
The rebellion made Lin Yi deeply aware of the complexity and danger of the court. He knew that he must maintain a clear mind and firm beliefs at all times in order to face future challenges and crises. From then on, Lin Yi worked even harder to study the culture and etiquette of the Tang Dynasty, constantly improving his abilities and wisdom. With his wisdom and courage, he contributed to the stability and security of the Tang Dynasty.
