Honglouchun

After walking for half a cup of tea, I entered the Chuihua Gate. On both sides are Chaoshou verandahs, and in the middle is a hallway. There is a rockery in the local area as a large screen, and there are three Baosha halls. Behind the hall are the five upper rooms on the front of the main house courtyard. , all carved beams and painted buildings, with corridors and rooms on both sides of the mountain.

In the main room, the plaque of Zhonglin Hall has been hung up again.

This is the hall name of the Lin family, and you should carry it with you wherever you go.

Entering the main hall, the setting inside and outside is almost the same as the Yamen of Yangzhou Salt Courtyard, and it is warmed by heating, so even though there are no people there for a long time, there is no yin and cold air.

Lin Ruhai was very satisfied, and everyone took their seats. After Aunt Mei and her maid Xiuzhu brought tea, Lin Ruhai took a sip, and with a smile on his face, he said: "Originally, after entering Beijing, there are always many things that I don't adapt to. Looks like everything is okay now?"

Aunt Mei smiled and said: "Thanks to Brother Qiang, everything else is easy to talk about. If it weren't for the boiler heating he made, I'm afraid I would have suffered a lot."

Lin Ruhai smiled and nodded, but didn't praise much, it was unnecessary.

He looked at Jia Qiang for a while, then sighed, "I didn't expect that the relationship between you and Jia's family would be so troublesome."

Jia Qiang shook her head and said, "Guzuzhang and Aunt Lin don't need to take my side into consideration. To be honest, the old lady's love for Aunt Lin is not fake, and she is also good to Guzuzhang. I have never Believe in, repay kindness with kindness, and revenge with hatred. Therefore, Auntie Zhang and Auntie Lin should get close to that side, and naturally they should get close to that side. But there is one thing, I think I still have to say it. "

Lin Ruhai smiled and said, "You say so."

Daiyu also looked at Jia Qiang with bright starry eyes.

Jia Qiang looked a little solemn, and said: "I shouldn't speculate on the things in the palace, but I just heard that the palace is dangerous, so I don't go to the court. Why did the emperor seal Jia's daughter? The intention is not only those fools in the West Mansion Except for those who don't understand, everyone else knows it well.

The palace is closely related to the outer dynasty. If the Jia family really has outstanding talents who can inherit the shadow of their ancestors and rise up against the trend and make a career, then the eldest aunt in the palace may last longer...

But the situation of Jia's family, my aunt and father-in-law have also seen it, can't even be regarded as mediocre.When the lingering shadow of Duke Xianrong is exhausted and the Jia family is defeated, the fate of the people in the palace will definitely not be much better.

When the building is about to fall, whoever dares to enter will be buried with him.

I don't need to comment on these situations, my aunt must understand.I was just worried that my aunt would be dragged into the pit of fire by Jia's family because of the kindness of the country. "

These words made Aunt Mei and Daiyu's faces turn pale. Although they were confused about how the Jia family came to this point, Jia Qiang's words were really shocking.

They didn't understand, but Lin Ruhai did.

His face was solemn, his brows were tightly wrinkled, and his eyes fell on the square carved bricks on the ground.

The Son of Heaven wanted to take control of the army for a long time, but the Yuanping heroes were too powerful, and the Supreme Emperor was still there, so he could not, and did not dare, personally attack the Yuanping heroes.

The only way is to find the heroes of the founding of the country, use their strength to fight, and win some of the heroes of Yuanping, so as to control part of the military power.

It's just that the founding lineage, the four princes and eight princes, are now mostly useless. Only the Rongguo Duke's mansion, the previous generation produced a stunningly talented Jia Daishan, who can carve out a place in the army occupied by Yuanping's heroes.

A considerable part of Jia Daishan's old department still occupies important positions in the army.

It's a pity that Jia Daishan died too early, otherwise, Emperor Long'an would not have been so disturbed.

And just as Jia Qiang said, if the Rong Mansion really has useful talents, taking advantage of the support of the emperor, following the example of the Xian Rong State and relying on its own strength, it can stand side by side with Yuanping's heroes.

On the contrary, Jia's family will become richer and richer, and Yuan Chun will become more stable in the palace.

It's a pity that the adult males of the Jia family have no talents to create.

Therefore, Emperor Long'an would probably only use the power of the Jia family, such as Prince Teng and his like, to get rid of the fire and kill a group of Yuanping heroes to make room for the emperor's confidantes to sit.

Given the current situation of the Jia family, participating in this kind of thing is destined to end up dead without a place to bury them.

However, to the emperor, the life and death of Jia's family was neither important nor important.

For the sake of the stability of the imperial power, let alone a concubine's relatives, it is the descendant family, or the emperor's mother's family, and those who should be discarded can be discarded.

This is the general trend, so, as long as the emperor's mind remains unchanged, the ending of the Jia family is actually doomed from the very beginning.

The more prosperous the past two years, the worse it will be in the future.

Being in such a state of changing powers, it is hard to die well, not to mention that the Jia family has no successors at present.

Lin Ruhai could understand all of this.

However, Jia Daishan, Duke of Xianrong, once showed great kindness to him. He was able to go smoothly and not be attacked by villains in the first few years of his official career, all because of Jia Daishan's protection in the court.

It wasn't until Jia Daishan died of illness that he had the tragedy of his son falling into the water and his wife dying of depression.

With such a relationship, how could it be possible for Lin Ruhai to sit back and watch Jia's family fall into a mortal situation and remain indifferent?

"Actually, it's not that there is no way to save the Jia family."

Seeing Lin Ruhai's serious and gloomy expression, Jia Qiang said softly.

Lin Ruhai didn't quite believe it, Tianxin was like this, who could change it?

But Jia Qiang said softly: "If you want to save the Jia family, you have to put it to death and survive, and cut off the root of the trouble in advance! Even if the opponent wants to liquidate the Jia family, as long as it is gone..."

"Qiang'er shut up!!"

When Lin Ruhai heard this, it was the first time that she was furious and reprimanded Jia Qiang.

What Jia Qiang said really shocked him.

The bane?

Who is the root cause of the Jia family? !

Just thinking deeply made Lin Ruhai shudder.

He never expected that Jia Qiang could come up with such a "smart plan"!

However, just when Aunt Mei was worried and Daiyu was pale and covered her mouth with an embroidered handkerchief and hesitated to persuade her, Jia Qiang looked straight into Lin Ruhai's eyes and said word by word: "Gu Zuzhang, you are better than me!" More clearly, the benevolence of a woman is unacceptable! Instead of the death of the whole family, how can the deserving people die?"

Lin Ruhai said in a deep voice, "They haven't done anything yet!"

Seeing that Lin Ruhai had absolutely no intention of giving in, Jia Qiang nodded helplessly and said, "My aunt is right, then wait until they do some stupid things before exterminating the relatives righteously... Auntie, it's not that I have the heart of a beast, ruthless and ruthless." Righteousness. If it's just me personally, I don't want to care about what happens with the West Mansion. Anyway, I and the West Mansion have come to this point, and people with a heart will not know. As long as you abide by your duty, it will not involve me in the future."

Lin Ruhai laughed angrily and said, "You can't be involved? Are you confused? When you accept the title, do you think you can escape? Do you want to cut off the root of your trouble in advance?"

Although they couldn't understand what kind of charades the two men were playing just now, this series of questions made both Daiyu and Aunt Mei laugh out loud.

Jia Qiang shook her head and smiled and said, "I am actually different from the Jia family. I am a good minister of the emperor... I will probably be my aunt's sword. After all, I don't need much of the Jia family's shadow, and the East Mansion doesn't have much." Leave the favors to me. By the way, I haven’t asked what kind of official the palace plans to let my aunt be? If I’m still in charge of collecting taxes, I can run around the provinces and be an official in the vanguard of grain collection!” After joking, he pointed Pick up the teacup and drink the tea.

Hearing this, Lin Ruhai looked at Jia Qiang with complicated eyes, and said softly, "The left servant of the household department is temporarily acting as the household department, responsible for paying the deficit."

"boom!"

When Jia Qiang heard the words, it sounded like a thunderbolt in his ears. He suddenly raised his head and looked at Lin Ruhai in shock.
