The Founding of the Red Chamber

Chapter 109 The Oriole Part 5

At the beginning, Lin Jing suspected that Emperor Zhaode's illness was caused by Xie's family, but on the Double Ninth Festival, Emperor Zhaode was so ill that he didn't know whether he was alive or dead, which made Lin Jing doubt his own judgment.After all, although the third prince showed his head for a short time, Lin Jing asked the second old master to recruit the Rong family. attention.

At this time, Emperor Zhaode was seriously ill, and the third prince had no obvious advantage in setting up the crown prince.

For the Xie family, this is not in the interest of the Xie family.

Emperor Zhaode was so ill that the establishment of the crown prince could not be delayed any longer, and Lin Jing had no heart to eat wheat cakes at home.Although people are in school every day, they are full of energy and always pay attention to the movement in the court.

At this moment, even if the ministers don't mention it, Emperor Zhaode himself has to deal with the matter of the heir.

What's more, the ministers are only more anxious than Emperor Zhaode.

Hurry up and follow the dragon's merits.

According to Lin Yi's rank, the matter of establishing a reserve is unlikely to be able to be discussed.

Not to mention Lin Jing, since Empress Dowager Lin passed away, he has never entered the palace again.

At this time, not to mention the Lin family, even the Xie family was paying close attention to the position reserve.

Xie Changyun ran to the Lin family several times. Lin Jing said, "If my aunt is here, I can still go to the palace to inquire about it. Don't say anything now. My elder brother is a third-rank official, and he can't be ranked in the imperial capital. How to say?"

Xie Changyun's complexion was not very good, and he said, "Recently, His Majesty often summons the Rong family, even the imperial concubine, can come to the imperial court to pay her respects."

Lin Jing clicked his tongue and said, "Your Majesty really has nothing to say about his mother's clan."

Xie Changyun also said, "Aside from the Rong family, who else does His Majesty have in mind?"

Both the Xie Lin family were extremely disgusted with the Rong family, so Xie Changyun and Lin Jing didn't have anything good to say about the Rong family.Lin Jing said, "If the Rong family really gets what they want right now, I won't be able to survive here, and I'm afraid your family won't be able to please."

Xie Changyun didn't say anything nonsense to comfort Lin Jing, Xie Changyun said, "I heard that this year's Double Ninth Festival will reward your family first, and then the Rong family."

Lin Jing said, "This matter seems strange to others, but it is worth asking here. Empress Kong is looking at my aunt's face."

Xie Changyun said, "Where is the queen, can you have something to say?"

"It's an important matter to establish a crown prince, that's nothing to think about." Lin Jing said, "Think about it, even if my aunt is alive, His Majesty has to guard against her. Besides, Empress Kong was granted the posthumous position because of her virtuousness. At this time, How can she talk?"

"Not directly." Xie Changyun said, "How can I not think about Concubine Kong, it's just the same, once the second prince comes to the throne, Concubine Kong has the ability to be the empress dowager?" Queen Kong also has to think about her future. Thinking about it, it is the Kong family, if His Majesty really wants to establish a second prince, the behavior of villains like the Rong family can really disgust the Kong family to death.Isn't Queen Mother Lin disgusted to death by them?

"Brother Changyun, please explain in detail." Lin Jing asked for advice.

Xie Changyun's idea can be regarded as a dangerous move of last resort, Xie Changyun said, "Based on His Majesty's preference for the mother clan, at this time, the second prince has a great chance of taking the throne. But there is one thing, the second prince can be the heir of the emperor, but , we must not allow the Rong family to take power. Otherwise, we will be the fish under his knife."

After thinking about it, Lin Jing felt that this method was feasible, and said, "Your Majesty must have not forgotten what happened when the barbarians besieged the city."

Although the Lin and Xie families had political discrepancies from time to time, it was fine that day, and it was not unusual for them to do their own things the next day, but this time they hit it off when dealing with the Rong family.

Lin Xie's family, plus the Kong family, plus other ministers in the court who have not lost their conscience, or have enmity with the Rong family, or have a grudge with the Rong family, the Rong family wants to take power, it is a dream.

It was Emperor Zhaode, who favored his mother clan was partial to his mother clan. After all, the siege of the city by barbarians was just around the corner, and Emperor Zhaode already knew deeply how many bowls of dry rice his mother clan ate.Emperor Zhaode also had no intention of letting the Rong family take power, but Emperor Zhaode is worthy of being the nephew of the Rong family. He made a marriage for the daughter of the Rong family. Emperor Zhaode waved his hand and betrothed to Guan Xiaoer the girl who didn't have a baby.

The meaning of Emperor Zhaode is very clear. The Rong family has many enemies, like the Lin family and the Xie family, all of which have some personal grievances with the Rong family. Even the newly promoted Kong family may not necessarily like the Rong family.

Emperor Zhaode's most trusted person, the chief assistant of the cabinet, Bai Xiang, has married the Rong family, and there is another person who is the Minister of the Ministry of War and Yongping Hou Guan Tingyu.Emperor Zhaode simply ordered the son of the Guan family to marry the daughter of the Rong family. In this way, although the Rong family was not in power, the Rong family and the current dynasty were both civil and military.

Emperor Zhaode thought very clearly, and he thought about it for the Rong family, but he didn't think about it for the Guan family, would the Guan family be happy if you were a great matchmaker?

Guan Tingyu has always been loyal, and he received an order to thank him without saying anything.

Guan Xiaoer was still young and had always been straightforward, so he couldn't hold back and said to his mother, "Give me the girl Lin Xiaosi doesn't want, what's the point? I won't have the face to play with Lin Xiaosi anymore. "

Mrs. Guan hurriedly said, "What's this called? Lin Xiaosi has a long-standing marriage contract, so naturally he can't marry another family. How about you?"

Guan Xiaoer smirked, "What's the difference? Look at the Rong family's women and their reputation. How can I live if I marry such a woman?" In one sentence, it hit his mother's heart .

Although Mrs. Guan tried her best to comfort her youngest son, she felt that her heart was overwhelmed, and she felt that regardless of her family status, even the character of Rong's daughter was very worrying.

Mrs. Guan finally comforted her youngest son, but in the end, there were still people who followed to disrupt the situation, none other than Guan Xiaoer's childhood sweetheart Lin Xiaosi.

Lin Xiaosi and Guan Xiaoer said, "Be patient for a while, anyway, you are still young and you can't get married. Your Majesty is so sick, don't be ignorant of the marriage you personally bestow. Ask about the reasons of the two families, but you also know that His Majesty regards the Rong family highly, not to mention you, who has not been wronged by the Rong family? My family, the Xie family, have been disgusted by his family, has your majesty ever said something? To be fair? Your Majesty has never changed his mind. He has always been partial to the Rong family. Don't be stupid. Your Majesty bestows a marriage on you and the Rong family. .We are not young anymore, so we have to think about our family, first public affairs and then private affairs, the affairs of the court must be settled before we can talk about your affairs."

Guan Xiaoer sighed, "Lin Xiaosi, tell me, what am I?"

Seeing Guan Xiaoer's melancholy expression, Lin Xiaosi said, "This is still a matter, and it's worth worrying about. I told you to get married, but you didn't listen. If only I had a younger sister, I will give you my sister."

Guan Xiaoer said, "If you were a woman, I would have proposed a marriage." Before he finished speaking, he was punched by Lin Xiaosi first, and then Guan Xiaoer was beaten up.In Lin Xiaosi's words, "I have nothing to do, I'm just a born scumbag, I don't want to be beaten."

Guan Xiaoer said, "You don't feel pain in your back when you stand and talk, alas, it's also my fault that I was always not in a hurry. In the end, it ended up like this."

"I said, why are you like a mallet, and you don't understand for a long time." Lin Jing said, "Aren't you stupid? Even if you are engaged, you still have to talk about withdrawing. You are not married, so you worry about this What are you doing?"

Guan Xiaoer was not a stick, he was frightened by Lin Xiaosi's words, Guan Xiaoer said, "Your Majesty bestowed a marriage, can you still cancel the marriage?"

"Stupid, stupid." Lin Jing whispered into Guan Xiaoer's ear, "As long as we can't get married in the future, this marriage will not count!"

Guan Xiaoer rubbed his hairless chin with a thoughtful expression on his face. Lin Jing despised him, "It's no use thinking about it!"

"Why don't you think for me." Guan Xiaoer is good at horseback riding and archery, which is really not his forte.

Lin Jing immediately took care of everything, "Don't show your flaws right now, just obey the emperor's order, but it's not just a happy eyelid, just as usual. In the future, I will naturally have me, and we will fight the children." Friendship, can I watch you jump into the fire pit?"

"How can you rescue me, can you tell me clearly?"

"I can't tell right now."

Depending on how Guan Xiaoer asked, Lin Xiaosi refused to say anything. At the end of the question, Guan Xiaohou felt a little annoyed, and said, "You have answered before, and you will not hide anything from me. It has only been a few days. Just forget what you said!"

Guan Xiaoer babbled endlessly, and finally annoyed Lin Xiaosi. Lin Xiaosi said angrily, "Ask me! Ask me! I haven't figured it out yet!"

Seeing Lin Xiaosi becoming angry from embarrassment, Guan Xiaoer was overjoyed, and said, "So you didn't think about it. Seeing how confident you are, I thought you already had a plan."

Lin Jing said angrily, "I didn't worry about your boredom, so I came up with a solution for you. But the solution is not a pie in the sky, it can be dropped if you say it, you have to allow time, right!"

Guan Xiaoer smiled, "The pie in the sky can't just be dropped."

"It's good that you know." Lin Jing said, "If it's not your business, I don't care about it."

"I know, I know, I'll leave it to you." Guan Xiaoer pulled Lin Jing, "I'll treat you to dinner today."

"Success!" Lin Jing said, "Sister Ouhe has made a new dish, come to my house tomorrow, and I will ask Sister Ouhe to make it for you."

Guan Xiaoer's enlightenment to Lin Jing finally made her happy again. Mrs. Guan also said, "Ah Jing, this child is really good with our Xiaoer. Come here to talk to Xiaoer. Xiaoer is fine now. .”

Guan Tingyu said, "That's good." After asking the youngest son privately, after learning that Lin Jing had given the youngest son an idea similar to "helping the youngest son dissolve the marriage", Guan Tingyu knew the Lin family's plan .Lin Rong's family had been immortal since Queen Mother Lin passed away, so it's not surprising that the Lin family had such a plan.

In the competition among all parties, the reserve position finally fell to the second prince.

Even if Emperor Zhaode's move did not surprise some of his close ministers, Lin Yi, who is used to being solemn and dignified, would not be surprised when he heard Lin Jing's words, "Your Majesty almost gave up the throne to someone surnamed Rong." Rare no reprimand.

When the Rong family came up with witchcraft, Emperor Zhaode was able to appoint the second prince as his heir. Lin Jing tsk tsk, "It is said that Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was fatuous in his later years, so there was the disaster of witchcraft. Now it seems that there is still a relationship between the emperor and the emperor." different."

Even though he guessed that Emperor Zhaode would appoint the second prince as his heir, Lin Jing felt really hard to swallow.

Fortunately, Emperor Zhaode took two breaths, one breath after establishing the crown prince, and then dispersed. After the last breath, he arranged four ministers for the crown prince, and then also dispersed.Emperor Zhaode passed away, and the imperial capital hadn't had a good time all year, and everyone was busy making a funeral for Emperor Zhaode.

But the new little emperor didn't forget to go to Lin's house to ask Lin Jing in his busy schedule, "Does Master Lin still remember the arrow on the city wall back then?"

Lin Jing and the little servant who passed the word of mouth said, "Go back and tell your majesty, when will your majesty take charge of the government, is it too late to ask me about government affairs? If your majesty is free, you might as well make arrangements for the palace of the Royal Concubine Rong. How can I?" I heard that a noble concubine wants to live in the Mercy Palace, and she doesn't look in the mirror anymore, she deserves it!"
