The Founding of the Red Chamber

Xie Guogong came here at this time, he had nothing else to do, he must have come to inquire about the matter between Empress Xie and Prince Renhui.Speaking of which, the news about Duke Xie's mansion is really well-informed.

Sure enough, Xie Guogong came with his children and grandchildren. The old man had a sad look on his face. He didn't take a sip of tea or say a few words of greeting. , It was interrogated by Ah Jing."

"Yes, no, I stayed at home well, and the Rong family rushed to the door with guns and sticks. If Ah Jing was not at home, and the family had children and children, I don't know what would happen to my family." Lin Yi He said, "Thanks to the justice of the Confucian government in the imperial capital, Ah Jing went over and found out the murder of Prince Renhui." He shared the results of the investigation with Xie's family.

Xie Guogong's tears rolled down his face. These tears were not fake. Empress Xie's reputation is actually mediocre. The main reason is that this empress is a bit domineering, so her reputation is not very good.However, Empress Xie is the youngest daughter of Duke Xie, as a father, knowing the cause of death of his daughter and grandson, how can he not feel sad.It was Shizi Xie and Xie Changyun, their eyes were red and they were gnashing their teeth, wishing they could kill the Rong family immediately so as to avenge the blood hatred of Empress Xie and Prince Renhui.

Lin Yi couldn't help feeling sad when he thought that the mother of a country, the son of the first emperor, was murdered and died like this.

Knowing the cause, Xie Guogong got up and cupped his hands and said, "I have written down the relationship between the Lin family." Then he took his children and grandchildren and said goodbye.

The downfall of the Rong family was expected in the elite circles. The late emperor and the young emperor are dead, and no one can support the Rong family. What's more, there is the case of Empress Xianxie and Prince Renhui. Xie's family watched from the sidelines, and San Si didn't dare to be selfish.Not only was the Rong family convicted of punishing the three clans, but the House of Internal Affairs was also implicated. For example, Director Li of the House of Internal Affairs was also dismissed.

The matter of the Rong family was resolved very quickly, it was nothing more than counting and beheading.

Bai Xiang fished out the eldest granddaughter, but the two children and the grandson-in-law could not do it. All the men of the Rong family beheaded, and even the children who had not yet reached the age of maturity were required to be assigned to the Jiaofang Secretary, and the boys had no official position as slaves.

Luckily, Miss Bai gave birth to sons, and if Bai Xiang moved around, even if he was a slave, he would be sent to his own family.In this way, even though he is a slave, he will not suffer any pain.As for grandson-in-law, there is nothing to say.

As for Guan Xiaoer's marriage, naturally there is no need to mention it.

Guan Xiaoer heard that Lin Jing had tried such a big case in Rong's house, and wanted to ask him about it, but it was only when he came to Lin's house that he found out that Lin Jing was ill.Guan Xiaoer went to visit the sick instead, and when he got home he said, "Lin Xiaosi is just too worried, no, just because of the trial of Rong's family, he got tired and sick again."

Guan Tingyu said, "He just loves to work too hard." A boy without an official or job dares to do anything.

Guan Xiaoer didn't hear what his father meant, and said, "Isn't that right. I've said it all, let him call me next time, and I can help him so as not to tire him, he's not in good health."

When Guan Tingyu heard what his youngest son said, he really lost his heart to speak.

It is said that after the case of the Rong family was settled, the Bai and Kong families even quarreled for the position of governor of the imperial capital.Confucian Mansion Yin Wei Rong's family has meritorious service, Bai Xiang means that, for promotion, Confucian Mansion Yin must be promoted to be the official third-rank Honglu Temple Minister.It can be said that although the Honglu Temple minister is half a rank higher than the third-rank imperial capital governor, the affairs of diplomatic relations and etiquette managed by Honglu Temple are of high rank, which is not the same as the third-rank imperial governor. compare.

How could Kong Guogong sit back and watch his children turn from reality to emptiness, and rise up and fall down in secret, so he had a big fight with Bai Xiang.

The four auxiliary ministers, Kong Guogong and Bai Xiang were so red-faced and thick necked because of the quarrel, Guan Tingyu and Tang Ying persuaded, "If you have such a quarrel, think about it first, your majesty's funeral." Not only about the funeral, but also, the little emperor After this death, the Empress Dowager Rong also died. Then, what will happen to the successor?

Furthermore, His Majesty's sudden death not only needs to be explained by the civil and military ministers of the Manchu Dynasty, but also has to be explained by the clan and vassal princes of various places.

As for the governor of the imperial capital, it is better to be acquainted than to be a stranger. At least the governor of Kongfu is familiar with the affairs of the imperial capital.

Several auxiliary ministers were arguing, if it is a trivial matter to say that the emperor of the imperial capital is still a trivial matter, then the successor king is a major event among major events.

For example, if Tang Ying and Guan Tingyu all support it, if there is a heir, there will be a heir, if there is no heir, there will be an elder, and the little emperor has only been on the throne for a short time, and he is still young, so naturally he has no heirs, then he has to look for the emperor's younger brother.In terms of age, the younger brother of the third emperor is older, and Tang Ying and Guan Tingyu are all from Concubine Kang Yikang.As for the four emperors, they were born by Zhen Taipin, who were slightly younger.However, Kong Guogong and Bai Xiang, who had pinched their blushes and thick necks at first, seemed to be more interested in concubine Zhen's fourth emperor's younger brother.

This is disagreement again.

There is a small quarrel for three days and a big quarrel for five days with respect to the successor king.

Kong Guogong came to Lin's house every now and then, and every time he came, he would scold Tang Ying a lot. The reason why he didn't scold Guan Tingyu was that Guan Shangshu never quarreled.It was Tang Ying who practiced lip service with Bai Xiang and Kong Guogong.Tang Ying is also the minister of the Ministry of Rites, no matter his words or his pen, he is always first-class.Together, Bai Xiang and Kong Guogong can only draw with Tang Ying.

Lin Yi really didn't have a big opinion on which one should be the emperor.

In Lin Jing's words, he was just recovering from his illness, and he didn't think it was a serious matter when he watched the excitement. The empress dowager has the final say. If you want me to say, if the Zhen family understands that the fourth brother will be adopted under the empress dowager's lap, who will dare to say 'no' as a legitimate son?"

Before Lin Jing finished speaking, Kong Guogong couldn't hide the satisfaction on his face, and said, "It's better to have a suitable person to talk to the Zhen family. In fact, it's just for a name, or for the sake of Your Highness has a good future." Then, he looked at Lin Jing expectantly.

Lin Jing said, "Is it possible that the Duke asked me to talk about this matter? How old am I, and people have to believe me when I say it. This is a matter between your family and the Zhen family. If you don't tell it yourself, how can you tell me?" Peace of mind for the Zhen family." Lin Jing really didn't want to judge the IQ of the Kong family, really, he wanted to take advantage of it and not lose it.Calling others to be bad people, he just thinks about it, and treats everyone as a fool, he is the only one!

Kong Guogong hurriedly said, "How can I ask you to tell me that your body is just better and you still worry about this matter, I can't bear it anymore. Ah Jing, you are a good child, and we adults will naturally take care of this matter." Because Lin Jing came up with a good idea, Kong Guogong gave him a big gift, including two century-old ginseng plants, and two bloody horses, which are very handsome.

Lin Jing liked it very much when he saw it, so he wanted to give one to his elder brother. As a military officer, Lin Yi didn't like a good horse. He said with a smile, "This horse is really good. It's rare that you are so generous, so I won't be polite. .” The two brothers each have a horse.

Lin Jing was not happy to hear this, and hummed, "When am I not being generous?"

Lin Yi tried riding a horse twice, and said to him, "Don't give up such an idea, the Kong family is clamoring, and the whole city knows it's your idea."

Lin Jing didn't think that the Kong family was so vicious, so he changed his mind a little bit and didn't take it seriously, "Let them fight, let's fight to make it lively."

Lin Jing suggested this idea to the Kong family, Xie Guogong said to him, "You are really kind, the Kong family spread the word, and most of the imperial capital knows that you gave his family the idea."

"Just say it." Lin Jing laughed straight, "Kong Guogong is also an honest person, and he didn't say that my elder brother gave his family the idea."

Xie Guogong said, "I said, Ah Jing, what are you trying to do? In terms of friendship, our two families have been friends for several lifetimes. In terms of future benefits, if you want to let me go, I can't make you shout all over the world." I know. I was just wondering, why did the Kong family make you so tempted?"

Lin Jing said, "I'm telling the truth, don't be annoyed."

"Just talk, I like to hear the truth."

"You, why are you still ignorant now? Don't you always think that the Fourth Highness is standing in the way of the Third Highness? Hey, I just saw that you two are confused, so I can make it clearer for you." Lin Jing said, "Queen Mother! Queen Mother! Fight back and forth in the court, fight for nothing! Queen Mother, this is the key to the throne. You plan to bypass the Queen Mother to establish the Emperor. With all due respect, Shi Bo, you will not regard the Queen Mother Kong as a Is the Emperor Rong the noble concubine?"

Xie Guogong said, "The Empress Dowager has always been submissive."

Lin Jingdao, "I have a different opinion from your old man on this matter. Think about it, at the time of Emperor De, with the power of the Rong family and the partiality of Emperor De, the Empress Dowager Kong was able to become a queen. It is said that this idea is naturally given to the Kong family, but if it is said that the Queen Mother Kong did not think of this method, I don't believe it."
