The Founding of the Red Chamber

Emperor Zhaode established a prince for thousands of years, and Situ San and his younger brother roasted the house sparrow

When Emperor Zhaode performed this great gift, all the wives, sons and daughters who had just stood in Changyin Garden knelt down, and the old lady Rong's eyes darkened, her back bent, and she fell to the ground immediately.Empress Dowager Lin supported Emperor Zhaode with both hands, and the imperial doctor spontaneously went over and stabbed Old Madam Rong awake with two needles.

At this very moment, the second prince came out from nowhere with a look of innocence, and saw his mother paralyzed on the ground with tears all over his face. The second prince was only four years old, and timid, he threw his mouth into his mother's arms and burst into tears. .

Lin Jing quietly pushed the eldest son next to him. The eldest son was five months older than the second prince, and he was also a child. Seeing the second prince crying, the eldest son grinned and cried too.

On the days when Empress Dowager Lin was overjoyed, she suddenly cried loudly.

Emperor Zhaode praised his uncle's family like that before, but now seeing Concubine Rong, mother and son crying, Emperor Zhaode couldn't help feeling a little soft-hearted, Empress Dowager Lin covered her face and sighed, "Both are the emperor's sons."

The eldest son and the second son of the emperor are the flesh and blood of the emperor.

A person with a soft heart is kind when he says it sounds good, but he is cowardly when he says it sounds bad.

Emperor Zhaode would be soft-hearted towards Concubine Rong's mother and son, but at this moment seeing the eldest son of the emperor is also grinning and crying, as Queen Mother Lin said, they are all his sons.Emperor Zhaode's soft heart was not only aimed at his uncle's family, he sighed softly, and called, "Hua'er, come here."

The eldest son of the emperor looked at his mother, and Empress Xie brought her son to Emperor Zhaode.Emperor Zhaode took a look at Empress Xie's not-so-beautiful face. He had always disliked this empress.However, the queen gave birth to children for him and took care of the palace affairs. Although it is better to be jealous, this is because of her temperament, and it is not a mistake.Emperor Zhaode took the eldest son's soft and small hand, and said, "It's my mother's joy for thousands of years, but I can't make my mother happy, it's all because of my unfilial piety."

"What does it have to do with the emperor? I have been with the emperor's mother and son for decades, and the emperor's filial piety is known in the world, and I know it too." The old man Rong on the ground sighed, "I think the old lady is getting old, so don't make the old lady tired for my Qianqiu Festival, and send someone to send the old lady back to the house temporarily. Let me go back and serve the old lady. Concubine Rong is weak, and I am not such a mean mother-in-law, so I don't need to set rules here."

Emperor Zhaode said, "The queen mother is merciful."

After a pause, Emperor Zhaode seemed to have made some kind of determination, and said in a deep voice, "Hua'er is getting older, so he can go to school this year. Since he is the foundation of the country, Hua'er is born of the Queen of the Palace, and his character is Precious, pure and filial, today I will take advantage of my mother's joy for thousands of years, and appoint Hua'er as the crown prince. After my mother's thousand years, I will invent the decree."

Great joy fell from the sky, Empress Xie swayed, almost unsteady, looking at Zhaode with joy and gratitude in her eyes.Emperor Zhaode didn't look at Empress Xie, he was asking Empress Dowager Lin for her opinion, "Is it appropriate for Queen Mother to look at it?"

Empress Dowager Lin said softly, "This is a major event in the court. I am a woman who knows what other people know. The emperor can decide." Concubine Rong, on the other hand, heard what Empress Dowager Lin and Emperor Zhaode said, and her arms hugging her son suddenly tightened. Unable to bear the pain, she cried even louder.

Not to mention Mrs. Xie Guogong, who was kneeling on the ground secretly rejoicing, couldn't help frowning, even Emperor Zhaode was also upset, waved his hands and said, "Let the second prince and Concubine Rong go down and rest, the queen mother is here, there are me and the queen, it's very easy You don't need to serve."

Empress Xie alertly ordered all Rong to be sent out of Changyin Garden. After sending away Rong, Mrs. Lin looked tired from behind and said, "I'm a little tired."

The Empress Dowager's Thousand Autumn Festival must not end so hastily.Emperor Zhaode lifted his spirits and said with a smile, "Hua'er, I used to serve your imperial grandmother." Then he said, "My son and daughter-in-law specially ordered the Ministry of Internal Affairs to select the most famous theater troupe in the imperial capital. I heard that they have good voice and figure. Call them Put it on, let the mother take a look, maybe it will make the mother happy?"

The eldest son of the emperor is not very clever, and he is young, so he doesn't know how to coax the Empress Dowager Lin into favor.But Lin Jing persuaded from the side, "Auntie, the emperor and the empress have shown filial piety, not to mention today is the crown prince's joy. If Auntie feels tired, I will squeeze her shoulders and beat her legs, okay?"

Empress Dowager Lin held the eldest son of the emperor in her arms, Fang smiled and said, "People say 'the youngest son and grandson are the lifeblood of the old lady', the children are so well-behaved, let them have fun with them."

Empress Xie had asked the servants to bring the playbook, she was grateful and respectful, and said, "I still have to order some good plays for us, Empress Mother."

The bustling Qianqiu Festival has finally begun.

The courtiers outside have been waiting for the show for a long time, but Changyinyuan has no intention to spread it.Suddenly seeing the imperial physician being passed on inside, I was in a panic thinking what happened to the empress dowager.Unexpectedly, the news that Emperor Zhaode canonized the crown prince suddenly came out.

This this……

This, this, this is where it is!

Although it was just a verbal order, the emperor has always spoken well, since he has already spoken out the words of the crown prince in front of the queen mother, empress, and all orders, then this matter is settled.

Hearing that he is the eldest son of Li's emperor, most of the courtiers have no objection.Regardless of the family law of the ancestors or the principles of nature and human relationships, the eldest son's right of inheritance comes first.What's more, it is the most honorable for the empress to marry the emperor as a husband and wife.For a moment, everyone congratulated Xie Guogong.Xie Guogong cast a glance at Ronggong Rong Songhuai's frustrated face that could not be concealed, a slight smile appeared on the corner of his lips, and said humbly, "Your Majesty's early establishment of the East Palace is the joy of the court and the joy of the world."

After a while, a servant came out to pass on the order from Empress Dowager Lin, saying that the empress dowager saw that the old lady was getting old, and she was worried that she would be tired. Mr. En Dianrong can go back to the house to serve his mother first.

Rong Songhuai's complexion changed, the old lady Rong, Concubine Rong, and Concubine Zhen sang together at the Empress Dowager Lin's Qianqiu Festival, which was originally planned, and Rong Songhuai knew everything in his heart.The Rong family offended Lin Yi regarding the Duke of Cheng'en, which indirectly displeased the Empress Dowager Lin.Although the Empress Dowager Lin is not the biological mother of Emperor Zhaode, she is still the aunt of Emperor Zhaode.

Emperor Zhaode was quite jealous of the Lin family. There are many reasons for this, not only the mystery of the death of Empress Dowager Rong. one of the reasons.

Even if Old Master Lin died in battle, it took Lin Yi a lot of effort to win the title, but Lin Yi's demeanor, which has been carefully cultivated by the aristocratic family for hundreds of years, is even more flattering to the Rong family who broke out. not on.

There is a kind of inferiority complex, due to flesh and blood.

The Rong family originally planned well. The reason why Rong Songhuai supported the Second Grandpa Lin to win the title was because he thought that the Second Grandpa Lin would be easy to control, and also that the relationship between the Second Grandpa Lin and the Empress Dowager Lin of the Palace of Mercy was mediocre.

You know, inside and outside the palace have always relied on each other.

Back then, the reason why Empress Dowager Lin was able to take power in the court after the death of Empress Dowager Rong was inseparable from the great power of her elder brother, Mrs. Lin.

Now, Emperor Zhaode grew up with great difficulty and took charge of the government smoothly. Even Grandpa Lin died in battle, and Lin Yi went back to his hometown to observe mourning for six years. When he returned to the imperial capital, the situation of the Lin family had plummeted.

At this moment, it is the Rong family's opportunity.

Second Grandpa Lin and Empress Dowager Lin have the same relationship. When Second Grandpa Lin gets the title of Lord Cheng En, he will not be able to do his best for Empress Dowager Lin like brothers Lin Yi.Furthermore, the Lin family is headed by an incomprehensible Second Master Lin. The Second Master Lin is an idiot. Then, what is there to be afraid of in the Lin family led by an idiot?

Rong Songhuai wanted to uplift the second great master Lin, because he wanted to take away the power of the Empress Dowager Lin's natal family outside the palace.

Emperor Zhaode tabooed about the matter of Empress Dowager Lin, and Rong Songhuai's family was clear.

What's more, Emperor Zhaode pinched the Lord Cheng'en of the Lin family and did not bestow a gift for a long time, which already shows the emperor's intentions.

Rong Songhuai was trying to figure out Emperor Zhaode's intentions, and Fang joined forces with the Second Grandpa Lin to seize the title of Lin Yi.What's more, when Emperor Zhaode chose the empress, Rong Songhuai thought that his daughter was better than Empress Xie in everything. , can only condescend to the position of imperial concubine.

In the past, Empress Dowager Lin was in power, and the Rong family had no choice.

Today, if there is an opportunity, Rong Songhuai has to think about his daughter and grandson.

Unfortunately, the wishful thinking was broken.

The position of Cheng Engong of the Lin family finally fell on Lin Yi.

At this time, Rong Songhuai had offended Lin Yi thoroughly.What's more, there is also Empress Dowager Lin of the Charity Palace.

Rong Songhuai thought for a long time, wanting to restore the relationship with Duke Cheng'en's mansion, and finally came up with the idea of ​​marrying the Lin family.

It should be said that the Rong family's brains are different from ordinary people's. Marriage has always been a good marriage between two surnames. There is no one like the Rong family who sings and talks to themselves and insists on getting married on the Queen Mother Lin's Qianqiu Festival.

Who is Queen Mother Lin? When she was in power, she had never seen such a big storm.Now the Rong family, relying on the relatives of Emperor Zhaode's uncle, joined forces with the favorite concubine in the palace, and wanted to plot against Queen Mother Lin's mother's family in front of Queen Mother Lin!

result……

Not only did the Rong family lose face from top to bottom, but Emperor Zhaode also... established the crown prince directly.

All kinds of inconceivable behaviors of the Rong family were caused by Xie Guogong returning home and hearing what his wife had said in detail, and then said for a long time, "Really..." It can be seen that he and Empress Xiaowen are really a family.Xie Guogong really couldn't believe that Rong Songhuai was also an old guy who had been in the court for decades. Now it seems that Rong Songhuai is not only brainless, he is actually blind.Even the scheming Xie Guogong dared not be disrespectful in front of Queen Mother Lin.Now that Empress Dowager Lin is only retreating to the Palace of Mercy, the Rong family dares to treat the former Empress Dowager as nothing. This is really... courting death.However, since Emperor Zhaode canonized the East Palace, the Rong family is safe this time.

The grandson has to establish a crown prince. Mrs. Xie Guogong has no time to think about the Rong family. She beamed with joy and said with a smile, "Now that the position of the East Palace has been confirmed, I can relax a little bit."

Xie Guozheng said, "It's all the grace of the empress dowager." He helped Lin Yi win the title of duke, and the empress dowager Lin changed hands so that the eldest son of the emperor could establish the East Palace. The favor from the Xie family was returned by the empress dowager Lin.Even a cunning and scheming man like Xie Guogong is convinced by a powerful woman like Queen Mother Lin.

Mrs. Xie Guogong said, "The empress dowager treats the empress empress, it's really rare. It's just an ordinary family. A mother-in-law who is as kind as the empress dowager is rare."

Xie Guogong stroked his beard and said, "The prince has also reached the age of entering school. I think Lin Jiajing's son is about the same age as the prince, and he is also a relative of the family. Jing's son grew up in the empress dowager's palace. Accompanying reading is also good."

Mrs. Xie Guogong showed embarrassment, lowered her voice and said, "If you want me to say, Brother Jing is good at everything. I told Lord Guo just now that Brother Jing is about the same age as our little granddaughter. It's just the same. Well, it was rumored that brother Jing's fate is tougher, but I don't believe it. It's just that the crown prince's status is so precious, and he is always worried about being careful. We are all kind to the prince and brother Jing..." sighed softly , Mrs. Xie Guogong said, "I'm just worried that if there is something good or bad, the Duke of the country will complain at both ends, and if there are villains causing trouble, it will not be beautiful after all."

Xie Guogong sighed regretfully, "What you said is also reasonable."

Xie Guogong's mansion was overjoyed, and the brothers of the Lin family were also in a good mood. The Rong family was ashamed, so they finally vented their anger.

Of course, this kind of careful thinking cannot be put into words, as long as you understand it in your heart.What's more, today is Empress Dowager Lin's Qianqiu Festival. As the nephews of Empress Dowager Lin's direct relatives, they should be happy.

Lin Jing could not stand tiredness, and he couldn't eat well in the palace. When he returned home, the small kitchen had prepared delicious and soft meals.He has always been a man, and he never forgets to order the small kitchen to give a copy to his brother and sister-in-law. Lin Yi said, "You just use it together and then go back to your yard to rest."

After thinking about it, Lin Jing was served by the girl and changed into regular clothes. The three of them went to the warming room to eat together, and took a bite of the fragrant custard. There is nothing to eat on the table, why not bring me a bowl of custard."

Lin Yi didn't like being pampered by men, so he said, "You've been hungry for three days, you can eat two bites of bark and grass roots, and you even choose food!"

Lin Jing grinned, "You don't need to starve me for three days, my elder brother has ordered me to eat a few bites on the tree when I go out, and taste the bark."

Lin Yi smiled and taught Lin Jing, "Don't be talkative, eat seriously."

Different people have different fates, just like Lin Jing, since he was born, he has been lovingly cared for by thousands of pampers, delicacies, maids and mothers-in-law, just like this, and he still suffers from illness and pain from time to time.Not to mention the imperial food in the palace, even the golden water shield and jade grains, he didn't think it was so rare.

Far away in a small valley on the outskirts of Jinling, the eight-year-old Situ Si was drooling as he stared at the house sparrow on a string of pine branches roasted on the fire in his brother's hands.Smelling the house sparrow fragrance, Situ Si sucked his saliva and kept asking, "Brother, are you familiar?"

Situ San has a square face, and because of his thinness, his eyes are extraordinarily bright and energetic.Smelling the smell of meat, Situ San's mouth also secreted saliva rapidly, but he was a little older and knew that he needed some face, unlike his younger brother, his saliva rolled all over the floor.After roasting for a while, Situ San handed a charred sparrow that was roasted black and almost invisible, to Situ Si, and said, "Taste it, if it is not cooked, roast it again."

Situ Si took it impatiently, bit on it, and scalded him half to death with a groan.He was honest, he laughed a few times, and swallowed a little sparrow in a few mouthfuls.The two brothers caught a total of five or six sparrows, but it was just a little to satisfy their hunger.Just like that, Situ Si was quite satisfied. Watching the sunset, Situ San took his younger brother back.

Today, there are meat stars in my belly, and Situ Si kept recalling the delicious house sparrow on the road, and asked whimsically, "Brother, I went back to the east of the village to get a wife at Uncle Touershan's house last time. Let's go to the opera, and there will be the emperor's master at the opera." .Brother, tell me, what does the emperor eat in the palace? Can you eat roasted house sparrow all the time?"

Situ San scratched his head, even he hadn't heard many plays, how could he know what the emperor in the palace ate and drank!However, in order to show his elder brother's profound knowledge in front of his younger brother, Situ San straightened his thin back and said, "It's definitely possible! The emperor is in the palace, and there is a special cook for him to roast house sparrows, as much as he eats. Not only You can eat it grilled, and you can also fry it!"

Even though he has never tasted the taste of fried house sparrow, Situ Si drools again when he thinks about the aroma of his mother's deep-fried oil fruit during Chinese New Year.Situ Four said, "Brother, when the Chinese New Year comes, Mother will fry the oily fruit. Let's catch the house sparrow and ask Mother to fry it together. Let's also try the fried house sparrow, shall we?"

Situ San took his younger brother's little black hand and replied, "Okay."
