The Founding of the Red Chamber

After Lin Jing finished speaking, he brushed off his sleeves and went down the city wall to go home.

Guan Xiaoer left with him, afraid of being beaten by his father if he stayed.

Guan Xiaoer went on and on on the way, complaining to Lin Jing, "You didn't tell me in advance."

Lin Jing clenched his palms into fists in his sleeves so that he could try to control the excitement in his heart. He said with a disapproving look, "What's there to say, didn't you tell me that the eight hundred courts shouldn't be changed four times? It's exactly what you want."

Guan Xiaoer said, "I'm just complaining."

"A man is a man, and he is not a complaining woman. Complain about what he looks like, so he can do whatever he wants." It is rare that Lin Jing's weak face actually put on an iron man.

Guan Xiaoer didn't like this, said, "Stop talking about me, you're not doing it for me, you must have wanted to kill Rong Si long ago."

Lin Jing didn't deny it either, "Yes, I've been looking forward to this day for a long time."

Guan Xiaoer quietly leaned into Lin Jing's ear, "Good job."

Lin Jing pushed him away, "Don't talk close to your ear, it's so hot."

Guan Xiaoer gave Lin Jing a look, "I'm going home, maybe I'll be beaten by my father."

Lin Jing said, "When the time comes, you can push the matter to me, or it will be over."

When Guan Xiaoer heard this, he seemed to be greatly insulted, and shouted, "Could it be that in your Lin Xiaosi's eyes, I am such a disloyal person!"

Lin Jing was barely deafened by him, and said, "What are you shouting, are you trying to turn against me?"

Guan Xiaoer was so angry that he didn't jump out of the car. He thought for a while, gritted his teeth, and said, "If I get out of the car now, people will definitely think that I have no loyalty. Let me tell you Lin Siya, I'm not as narrow-minded as you are." !” It was better to send Lin Jing home first, and then I went back to my home by car.Guan Xiaoer decided that if Lin Xiaosi didn't take the initiative to apologize to him, he would ignore him!

When Lin Jing got home, he went back to his courtyard to change clothes. Seeing that his clothes were stained with blood, Madam Zhang turned pale with fright.Lin Jing said quickly, "It's not my blood."

Zhang Momo's face turned slightly warmer, but she was still trembling, and asked, "Is it such a mess outside?"

"No. It was stained on the city wall." Lin Jing changed her clothes under the service of the maid, and Fang went to the main courtyard to talk.Seeing that Lin Jing's face was soothed, the Yue clan asked about what was going on outside. Lin Jing said, "We still have to fight for a few more days, but it doesn't matter. It is estimated that the reinforcements from Jizhou are arriving, and there are 10,000+ soldiers in the imperial capital. No matter how bad the court is, it will be too late." In this way, the barbarians can't afford to consume it, and their food supply is a problem."

Yue Shi heaved a sigh of relief, "That's good." He was also worried about whether his natal family would have enough food.Hearing what my uncle said, Yue breathed a sigh of relief, and said, "Then I'll send someone to deliver some to the Hou Mansion, our family still has enough food."

Lin Jing said, "It's okay for sister-in-law to give you more, it won't last for a few days."

The Yue family nodded, thinking that it would be good for her family to learn a lesson this time.Back then when they didn't stockpile food, the Yue family was a daughter, and their own family had enough to eat, so they would naturally take care of their mother's family.It's just that when compared to the Xia family, the Xia family is prepared. These days the imperial capital is fighting in the city, and Mrs. Xia even sent her fourth son to ask the Lin family if they have enough food, and said that they have enough food.

The Yue family is not a narrow-minded person, but after comparing the two, the Yue family feels that her mother's family is really not very smart this time.

In other words, Lin Jing killed two people with one arrow and one knife, and the court immediately had nothing difficult to do, but Guan Tingyu had no choice but to continue fighting.For Emperor Zhaode, Lin Xiaosi helped him make a decision, and Emperor Zhaode no longer hesitated or swayed.Moreover, Emperor Zhaode no longer talks with the barbarians, and directly ordered Guan Tingyu to wipe out the barbarians outside the city!

Although these words are a bit ambitious, Guan Tingyu himself is an expert in using soldiers. The barbarians came to the city, but they didn't take advantage of it.As for peace talks, to hell!

Guan Tingyu personally led the army to chase the barbarians out of hundreds of miles, and met the Jinzhong army who came to rescue him. Xie Shangfei led the army to encircle Guan Tingyu, directly leaving the life of the third son of the barbarian king.Afterwards, the barbarians led their army away and fled to the grassland.After this battle, the imperial court was also seriously injured. They cleaned up the situation, appeased the people, rewarded the soldiers, and rebuilt the military in Muzhou Prefecture.

On the other hand, there are still many funerals in the city. Although the barbarians did not gain any advantage in this battle, the Imperial Capital Army also suffered a lot of casualties, including many middle and low-ranking generals.These families naturally have to hold funerals for their children who died in battle.The thing that left the courtiers speechless the most was that the Rong family actually participated in Lin Jing's book, and Lin Jing killed the courtiers and captives privately. Anyway, in the words of the Rong family, Rong Si was insulted, and the court should decide whether to live or die. You Lin Jing Who are you, you dare to kill people.If Lin Jing hadn't killed Bu Rigude, there would have been no need to fight the next battle, and the world would have been at peace long ago.

Lin Yi said directly, "It's too lazy to talk to you and other arrogant people."

Regarding Lin Jing's killing of Rong Si, after Lin Yi heard about it, he just nodded slightly, and he didn't blame Lin Jing when he went home, so naturally he wouldn't make Lin Jing suffer in court.If after Lin Jing killed these two people, the court was defeated and the land was ceded to pay compensation, then Lin Jing would naturally be criticized.Now that the court has won and killed the third son of the barbarian king, this is the only thing the court can save face. Now that the Rong family is making up their minds again, Qingliu can spray the Rong family to death without Lin Yi talking. There is a censor who said, "If you don't kill the barbarians, it's hard to keep them for the New Year!"

This is still honest, but there are some who are mean, and said directly, "Rong Si buried a hundred thousand Muzhou soldiers, and I really don't know what face to live in the world. Everyone can punish such thieves who harm the country."

The Rong family said angrily, "Back then, Lin Guogong also defeated the Muzhou government."

Lin Yi said coldly, "My father would rather wrap his body in horse leather."

Marquis Cui said indifferently, "Even though Old Lord Lin was killed in battle, the Muzhou Army still had [-] people. The defeat of Lord Lin is the number of victories and losses in a war. The Muzhou army can turn the tide! Now! Where is the Muzhou army! Who is colluding with the barbarians, falsely reporting military exploits, and then causing harm to the country and the people, until the barbarians besieged the city, causing His Majesty to be ashamed and humiliated. How will the history books judge this matter in the future? Since your Majesty took power, you have worked hard, diligently governed the government, and loved the people like a son, but you have suffered such a great humiliation, and it is all thanks to you, the Rong family!"

The crowd was so angry that they wished they could eat the Rong family raw.

It was like, Rong family, you falsely reported your military exploits, you are His Majesty's mother clan, you can pass, basically seeing His Majesty's partiality, you passed.But because you colluded with the barbarians and caused great disaster, we people are still alive, and we are not dead in the imperial capital.But who doesn't have many relatives? Those whose hometown is in Shaanxi, whose relatives are officials in Muzhou Prefecture, and their properties in the suburbs, all of them have caused great harm to the barbarians.What's more, everyone is a courtier, especially a high-ranking official. The more senior an official is, the more he cares about the posthumous comments.Like Bai Xiang, as the chief assistant of the cabinet, when he is recorded in the history books in the future, he will have to remember that when he was in charge of the cabinet, the barbarians besieged the city and so on.As long as Bai Xiang thinks about this, he will hate Rong Si very much. This is still the Rong family's in-laws, let alone other people.

Rong Si is dead, even if he is not dead, he would not be able to live in exchange.

As for Lin Jing's killing of Rong Si, this kind of thief who harmed the country, everyone can punish him.The fourth child of the Lin family did not kill wrongly. As for the enmity between Lin Rong's family, it depends on what the Rong family did to harm the country and the people. Everyone has a good impression of the Lin family.

There is still the face to mention this matter at court, it is Emperor Zhaode, even if he is partial to his mother's family, but the matter of Lord Cui is deeply in Emperor Zhaode's heart. Even if the imperial capital was saved and the barbarians were beaten away, but history is like a knife, how will future generations comment.

Thinking of his own reputation being damaged by this, Emperor Zhaode lost his face.

The Rong family really didn't have any political vision, otherwise, they definitely shouldn't have impeached Lin Jing.

However, the Rong family really knew how to read Emperor Zhaode's face. Seeing Emperor Zhaode's displeasure, the Rong family was very knowledgeable about current affairs and did not hold back.In fact, it was not the Rong family who refused to let go, but the courtiers who aroused the anger of the Rong family and insisted on asking His Majesty to send someone to investigate the Rong Sigoulian barbarians and falsely report the war.

What's more, of the [-] soldiers in the Muzhou Prefecture, none of them survived today, and the imperial court had to give an account of those who died.

All of a sudden, the Rong family broke out in a cold sweat.

Emperor Zhaode also felt that the matter in Muzhou was very useless, so he allowed the courtiers to play, and allowed Xie Yan, the general of Muzhou, to investigate the matter in detail.Speaking of which, Xie Yan used to be the general of Jizhou Prefecture, and he made great contributions in fighting against the barbarians this time. In addition, Xie Guogong donated food to the imperial court at the beginning of the war. Army, served as acting general.

Next is the reward for the defense of the imperial capital, and Lin Yi has also been promoted from the third rank. Compared with the soy sauce in the Ministry of War, now serving in the Imperial Guard is really lacking.

As for the commander of the war, Guan Tingyu, General Guan, Emperor Zhaode rewarded him even more generously, and directly bestowed the title of Marquis Yongping on General Guan.

However, the one who deserves the most face should be Xie Guogong, because next Xie Guogong’s birthday, although Xie Guogong said earlier, the national crisis has just been resolved, and there will be no birthday banquet, Emperor Zhaode still wrote a birthday letter to reward Xie Guogong.

Although Xie Guogong did not celebrate his birthday, the Lin family has always been friendly with Xie's family, Lin Jing and his elder brother still went to celebrate Xie Guogong's birthday once.Xie Guogong was also very close to the brothers of the Lin family. When the brothers of the Lin family left, he personally ordered the eldest son and grandson to send them outside the door.

Lin Jing glanced at Mr. Li, the Director of the Department of Internal Affairs who came to offer the reward and said goodbye, and said with a smile, "It's been a long time since I saw Mr. Li."

Regardless of Lin Jing's lack of official status, but Lin Jing can now be called a celebrity in the imperial capital. Mr. Li said, "Fourth Master, you are busy with your affairs. When are you free, let's get close."

With a smile on Lin Jing's face and meaningful eyes, he said goodbye to his brother without saying anything.
