The Founding of the Red Chamber

Lin Jing couldn't hide the news from Zhang Jia in the past, but Lin Jing never thought of hiding it. Ever since Empress Dowager Lin passed away, Zhang Jia invited him to guard the tombs of the late Emperor and Empress Dowager. Because of his sincerity, Emperor Zhaode He had no choice but to follow his lead, but he also specially instructed that Zhang Jia's previous rank in the palace would not change.As for Lin Jing, Lin Jing would go to the Imperial Mausoleum to see his aunt on every anniversary of the death of Empress Dowager Lin, and would naturally meet Zhang Jia who was guarding the mausoleum.

This was something Lin Jing would do every year and people he would meet. Therefore, although the situation in the court at this time was not as good as before, it was nothing special for Lin Jing to sacrifice his aunt on the anniversary of the death of the Empress Dowager Lin.This is why Lin Jing acts cautiously. He needs to pick the right time and do the right thing.

Moreover, Lin Jing didn't make the trip in vain, as he expected, Zhang Jia had followed the Queen Mother Lin for most of his life, and knew a lot of things.When Lin Jing talked about the current situation in the imperial capital, Zhang Jia's insight was no less than that of a top official in the imperial court.Zhang Jia sighed, "When the Empress Dowager was here, Your Majesty was jealous and partial. If the Empress Dowager was still here, why would Your Majesty do this?"

Lin Jing frowned, "I have never understood, where did His Majesty get sick? As for the House of Internal Affairs, Director Li was brought up by His Majesty himself."

Zhang Jia said, "Your Majesty has not been in power for a short time. At the beginning, when the Empress Dowager was here, Prince Renhui passed away if she didn't pay attention for a while. When it comes to the Empress Dowager herself..." Zhang Jia paused, as if there was something inexplicable , Zhang Jia whispered to Lin Jing, "Jing, I see you growing up, and I don't shy away from mentioning that I was a little skeptical at the beginning. I always feel that the empress is not so overwhelmed.",

Thinking of his aunt, Lin Jing couldn't help showing surprise.If the aunt passed away naturally after a hundred years, Lin Jing would not be the one to look down upon. The key is that the Empress Dowager Lin died too suddenly.Not to mention that Zhang Jia couldn't let go, even Lin Jing couldn't let go either.Lin Jing thought of what Zhang Jia meant, and felt that it was not unreasonable.If the Empress Dowager Lin was really murdered by others, Lin Jing would have doubted Emperor Zhaode, but if Emperor Zhao had the ability to directly kill Empress Dowager Lin, it would not be Zhaode who is lying on the dragon couch with a sick body God's.If the death of Empress Dowager Lin had nothing to do with Emperor Zhaode, Lin Jing had always suspected that Emperor Zhaode's illness was due to Xie's family buying off Li's family, but Director Li was able to pass on the imperial letter to Lin Jing through Li Qilang. It can be seen that Director Li's anxiety has reached the situation where multiple bets have been made, and it can be seen that Director Li lacks a sense of security.This is not like someone who can commit regicide.

What's more, if it was really Xie's family, Lin Jing would have to think about the death of Empress Dowager Lin to Xie's family.

It is not uncommon for someone who can kill the emperor to kill the queen mother.

What's more, according to my aunt's temperament, don't think that Emperor Zhaode is ruthless and ungrateful, my aunt will not sit back and watch Emperor Zhaode be harmed by others.It has to be said that although Emperor Zhaode violated all kinds of taboos against his aunt, the Empress Dowager Lin did not really appreciate Emperor Zhaode's temperament.Looking at He Bingxing who raised Lin Jing single-handedly by Queen Mother Lin, one can know what Queen Mother Lin likes and dislikes.

Lin Jing said, "Why didn't my aunt even meet me in the end?"

Zhang Jia said, "I think the empress dowager was really indifferent at that time. According to her character, how could she be insulted by the Rong family's mother-in-law. Your majesty does not distinguish between black and white, and blindly favors the Rong family. At this moment, your majesty cannot severely punish the Rong family. This is His Majesty's hint that the Rong family will definitely make progress. Is the empress going to lower her status to compete with the crazy woman of the Rong family? Back then, Empress Dowager Rong wanted to be in power, and Empress Dowager Lin would rely on her. Empress Dowager Rong When I died, the Rong family felt that it was because of our empress. If our empress had any selfish intentions, why did the empress let her go when the Empress Dowager Rong was in power? Your majesty wants to be in charge and marry the Xie family, and the empress also followed him. The old slave said that if you lose your mother, you will be too bright and upright. You don’t know that there are many villains in the world, and the brighter you are, the more they think about it.”

Zhang Jia is not a talkative person, and those who can stay in the palace for a long time don't talk much.Zhang Jia could only talk a little more about Empress Dowager Lin. After thinking about Empress Dowager Lin for a while, Zhang Jia told Lin Jing what he knew about the imperial capital.Lin Jing was a little surprised that what Zhang Jia said was mostly about generals in the army, and it was not limited to the military equipment of the imperial capital.Zhang Jiadao, "Our family was born as a military commander. Your Majesty said something before that civil servants are nothing more than words, but military officers have swords and arrows in their hands. The final outcome of this world is determined by swords and arrows."

Lin Jing listened very carefully. Back then when his father died in battle, his elder brother was still young, and Lin Jing himself was a newborn baby. What's more, Lin Yi went back to his hometown to observe his filial piety.Then, some of the Lin family's relationship was snobbish at first, and I am afraid that only the Queen Mother Lin knew about it.Hearing what Zhang Jia said now, Lin Jingfang knew that his family was once so prominent.It's just that the queen mother's aunt has passed away, and there are many connections here. I'm afraid the eldest brother has never walked around, but I don't know how many other families are useful now.

However, since there were some connections in the past, Lin Jing secretly remembered it in his heart, analyzed the situation in the imperial capital with Zhang Jia, and after lunch, Fang resigned from Zhang Jia and went home.After arriving home, the two brothers naturally had another discussion.

The Lin brothers originally wanted to take a low-key route, because right now in the imperial capital, several concubines and concubines with princes are fighting fiercely. The Rong family and the Zhen family are all in the imperial capital. Those who were released were all implicated in the dispute between the princes.The Lin family couldn't keep a low profile if they really wanted to. Although it was a quiet place compared to the current imperial capital, the two brothers of the Lin family were very busy with visitors, friends, classmates, and colleagues who came to make friends.

The Zhen family was among them.

Mr. Zhen has been in the Imperial Capital for a long time. Speaking of which, this lord has some abilities. His ability to come to the Imperial Capital to be the Governor of the Imperial Capital is definitely related to the fact that the Zhen family was a noble concubine back then.But later Zhen's demotion didn't affect the adult who was relying on the corner of the daughter's skirt in the slightest.Then, after all these years, he was actually allowed to stay in the seat of the governor of the imperial capital smoothly.

Zhen Fu Yin sent his eldest grandson, don't look at the Zhen family who started their family with nepotism, but the family style is a thousand times stronger than the Rong family. For example, the boss of the Zhen family is an elegant person, and Zhen Dalang invites his good classmates to go to the teahouse After drinking tea, the next day Lin Jing heard the news that the second old master had met Rong Cheng Engong in the Green Bamboo Tea House.When Lin Jing heard about this, he was so angry that one Buddha was born and two Buddhas ascended to heaven. At the beginning, the elder brother had just observed his parents' filial piety and returned to the emperor's capital. There is the meaning of seizing the title.At that time Lin Jing was young, and he didn't want to kill the second old man. This time, he really wanted to kill someone.

Lin Jing thought about it, and asked someone to inquire about it again. If the second old man is so wicked, he will have to find a way to clean up the house.Then, when Lin Jing went home and saw the second old man visiting, there was no need to mention all kinds of surprises.

What made Lin Jing even more surprised was that the second old master and the elder brother were talking in the study room this time, so it can be seen that what they said must be confidential.

Waiting for the second old man to leave, Lin Jingfang said, "I was just about to tell my elder brother about the second old man, I don't think he will come first."

Lin Yi smiled, "Don't worry, it's nothing serious."

The second old man mainly came here this time to talk to his eldest nephew Lin Yi about his work as an undercover agent at the Rong family. In the meaning of the second old man, he would come back and tell his eldest nephew after he had found out the news, so as to save his eldest nephew from dealing with it. The Rong family eats well, even though he is old, he is willing to share the worries for his nephew.

Lin Jing heard this, and said for a long while, "The second old man can really advance, attack and retreat. If the Rong family is ruined, he will be the elder who bears the burden of humiliation for the family. If the Rong family is in power, it is estimated that the second old man will have to deal with it early. Get rid of the pair of nephews who offended the Rong family, sit on the throne in person, and continue to 'bear the humiliation' for the family."

Lin Jing said, "The second old man is getting old, brother, you should stop him."

"If you can stop the first day of junior high school, but you can't stop the fifteenth day, let him go, I know it well."

Lin Jing could only rejoice at this time, "Fortunately, A Teng is not like the second old man." Really, if it weren't for the family, the second old man would still be an uncle, but if it wasn't for the face of the family, Lin Jing would definitely not tolerate the second old man. to the present.

"Okay, the second old man was a bit of a kid when he was young, not as safe as the elders. Right now, as long as the second old man remembers our enmity with the Rong family, the second old man will not cheat us. The news brought back by the second old man is quite It's not normal." Lin Yi looked at his younger brother and said, "The second old man said that the Rong family thought that His Majesty's illness would not be cured for a long time, and the Rong family already planned to invite people from Xiangmen to come to see His Majesty."

"What do those godly people know?" Lin Jing complained habitually, and suddenly his eyes sank, "No, if the Rong family invites some godly people, they will either ask for a queen or a prince for His Majesty. Overjoyed."
