The Founding of the Red Chamber

Chapter 12 The Duke Rong's Mansion Lost the Emperor's Heart

The Ronggong Mansion lost the heart of the emperor, and the Hedong lion angrily flattened the second grandpa

This Qianqiu Festival is definitely full of vigor and vitality, with ups and downs, some happy and some sad.

There is too much content, enough for courtiers to digest it for a few days.

Emperor Zhaode summoned the cabinet and ordered the Ministry of Rites to prepare for the East Palace Grand Ceremony.

Before Emperor Zhaode didn't reveal his intention to set up the East Palace as a half-part, but he would decide the world on the Empress Dowager's Qianqiu Festival. It's really... Even the young and handsome scholar Tang Ying only found out the reason after many inquiries.Probably it was the Qianqiu Festival that made Emperor Zhaode sigh a lot. When accompanying him, he heard Emperor Zhaode sigh again, "The queen mother is always the queen mother."

Tang Ying stood respectfully by the side, and Emperor Zhaode sighed again, "Ah Ying..."

Tang Ying was helpless, and said in a gentle voice, "Your Majesty, the Empress Dowager intends to curtail the power of the Lin family. It is the Empress Dowager's wisdom and the court's blessing." Unlike Emperor Zhaode who was afraid of Empress Dowager Lin, Tang Ying had no ill feeling towards Empress Dowager Lin.Even when Emperor Zhaode was young, the Queen Mother Lin was in charge of the government. In Tang Ying's view, it was better for the Queen Mother Lin to be in power than for the court to fall into the hands of powerful officials.The key point is that Emperor Zhaode's mother-in-law, Empress Xiaowen, couldn't do the job. In the end, Empress Dowager Lin made a move to turn the tide.

What's more, as soon as Emperor Zhaode became an adult, Empress Dowager Lin returned the power to Emperor Zhaode.If Emperor Zhaode feared the Lin family so much, to be fair, it wasn't that Empress Dowager Lin was incompetent, or confused the court, but it was really that Empress Dowager Lin did a great job when she was in power.

Even now, Emperor Zhaode has been in charge for several years. Although Tang Ying thinks that Emperor Zhaode is not a foolish emperor, he still has a long way to go before he is a prosperous emperor.Even Emperor Zhaode's personal administration was not obviously better than that of Queen Mother Lin.

Tang Ying understood the emperor's mood, not to mention the relationship between mother and son, but between father and son, the son of a wise emperor, I don't know how hard it is.What's more, Empress Dowager Lin is only the aunt of Emperor Zhaode.Besides, Queen Mother Lin is just a woman!

Tang Ying was considerate of the emperor's heart, but there were some things that he didn't dare to say no matter how he understood them.

According to Empress Dowager Lin's shrewdness, Emperor Zhaode couldn't fault Empress Dowager Lin.During the Qianqiu Festival, Empress Dowager Lin said categorically that the Lin family would never marry the princes' mother clans. Emperor Zhaode was grateful to Empress Dowager Lin, and at the same time, he breathed a sigh of relief.

Emperor Zhaode knew the ability of his aunt. Between him and Empress Dowager Lin, there were ancestral family laws, world and human relationships, and Emperor Zhaode did not want to be an enemy of Empress Dowager Lin.With such a promise made by the Queen Mother Lin, at least the Lin family will not have to worry about it when the next successor is born.

At this moment, Emperor Zhaode was very grateful to Queen Mother Lin.

Therefore, Empress Dowager Lin was not very comfortable after the Qianqiu Festival, and Emperor Zhaode greeted her three times a day.Even in order to please Empress Dowager Lin, Emperor Zhaode ordered Lin Jing to be taken into the Palace of Mercy to accompany Empress Dowager Lin.Moreover, what Emperor Zhaode said was quite nice, "Jing'er is still young, and we watched him grow up, he is polite and sensible. Otherwise, I would not dare to take Jing'er into the palace to disturb the queen mother's peace. "

Empress Dowager Lin said with relief, "I understand the emperor's filial piety."

In fact, Empress Dowager Lin and Emperor Zhaode have been mother and son for many years, and it is not without affection.If Emperor Zhaode had the heart to send one of his sons to Empress Dowager Lin to comfort her loneliness, wouldn't it be better than taking Lin Jing into the palace.

Emperor Zhaode didn't mention it, nor did Empress Dowager Lin.

In Emperor Zhaode's heart, if the aunt was just an old lady enjoying honor and not the empress dowager who was once in charge of the government, he would be very happy to send the prince to the Palace of Mercy to entertain him.

but……

Emperor Zhaode was always afraid of Queen Mother Lin's methods.

It's not that Empress Dowager Lin is ignorant of Emperor Zhaode's scruples, but Empress Dowager Lin doesn't take it seriously. Lin Jing is her nephew and grew up by her side. To her, Lin Jing is closer than those grandchildren .

As soon as Lin Jing came to the Mercy Palace, the entire Mercy Palace was much bustling.Even Zhang Jiadu, the confidant of the Empress Dowager Lin, personally brought the hot dim sum and said with a smile, "This is a newly researched dim sum in the mother's small kitchen, brother, try it."

The dim sum is only the size of a copper coin, and it looks like a snow-white puff pastry, with a drop of bright red fruit jam in the middle, placed in a palm-sized jasper cup, only five or six, extremely delicate.Lin Jing picked one up, still with a little heat, with a little more strength, the puff pastry has been broken into layers, like fine snow flakes.He picked up the falling crispy pastry with one hand, put the dim sum into his mouth without haste, and savored it carefully. There was a faint milk fragrance and a light floral fragrance, combined with the sweetness of the pastry, which really suited Lin Jing's taste. .Lin Jing smiled, "Thank you, Uncle Zhang, it's delicious." Then he persuaded Queen Mother Lin, "Auntie, try it too."

Empress Dowager Lin was not really sick, but she had expected that Mrs. Rong would be ill when she returned home, so after the Thousand Autumn Festival, Empress Dowager Lin also became "ill".

Seeing that Lin Jing liked it, Empress Dowager Lin also tasted it, which made people reward the small kitchen.

The aunt and nephew in the Mercy Palace are deeply affectionate, but the Ronggong Mansion is gloomy.

Emperor Zhaode can be regarded as a very good-tempered emperor, and he also missed friendship.His biological mother, Empress Xiaowen, died early. After taking office, he took special care of his uncle's family.Not to mention the first-class duke of Cheng'en in Cirong Mansion and the Lin family, even a few cousins ​​are also in front of the fat job.

If the Rong family seeks some money and wealth, Emperor Zhaode doesn't care.As the king of a country, it's nothing for his uncle's family to gain some glory.

However, Emperor Zhaode is an emperor after all, even if people's hearts are biased, the dignity of an emperor cannot be touched by anyone!

Back then, when the Xie family was established as the empress, Empress Dowager Lin had explained the benefits and benefits of the relationship with him in detail.Cousin Rong was a noble concubine in Qingxiang Palace, and she was only half a head shorter than Empress Xie.

Emperor Zhaode never thought that he was still so young, and the Rong family was moved to seize the heir!

Both the first prince and the second prince are his children, but only the second prince is the grandson of the Rong family!

snort!

grandson!

He treats his uncle's family so kindly, but he doesn't want the Rong family to spank his dragon chair position under his ass from now on!

If it is a dragon, it has reverse scales!

Why did Emperor Zhaode be afraid of Empress Dowager Lin, after all, it was for the power of a country!

The power of a country, the throne!

Once the seeds of doubt are planted, they will quickly take root and germinate, and the betrayal and calculations from close relatives made Emperor Zhaode's anger go beyond reason. Therefore, he made a decisive decision on the occasion of the Qianqiu Festival and directly appointed the crown prince!

Not just to warn the Rong family, but also to establish the distinction between prince and minister early!

Empress Dowager Lin was right: they are all sons of the emperor.

They are all sons of the emperor. According to Emperor Zhaode's disposition, he would never want to see his sons kill each other for the throne.

It can be said that the Rong family committed a big taboo this time.

Mrs. Rong fell ill when she returned home, not pretending to be sick, but really sick.Empress Dowager Lin was so prescient that she directly ordered the judge of the Imperial Hospital to follow Mrs. Rong back to the mansion, and wait on Mrs. Rong's body nearby.

From the professional point of view of Zuo Yuanju, Mrs. Rong is in good health. Even if she was hit hard for a while, it would not be easy for her to die.

Back in Changyin Garden, the old lady Rong said that she was willing to die to prove the innocence of the Rong family.

The words are loud and full of vigor.

However, Empress Dowager Lin was well aware of the pissing nature of the Rong family, so she never paid any attention to what Old Madam Rong said.Sure enough, Shan Xiang, who talked about death, was reluctant to die after all.

The old lady Rong said that she was not going to die, but now she was sick at home and was dying, and she couldn't die after all.

Rong Songhuai aged more than 20 years overnight, and Mrs. Rong cried to him again, "Yue'er, I don't know what's wrong now, the gold hairpins and jade rings refuse to go up, and the gold, jade, and antiques have all been withdrawn by the girl. Prostrating to the Buddha and chanting sutras, I have said it several times, but I didn’t even listen to it...At the beginning, I struggled to give birth to this evil obstacle, but now I really want to break my heart.” I didn’t complain about my husband’s idea in my heart. Where is the marriage, the woman is following the man's reason.

If both parties are interested, it doesn't hurt for the woman to take the initiative, but now her daughter is rejected by the Queen Mother Lin in front of all the wives, not to mention that the current family situation is far worse than before, even if the daughter talks about marriage in the future, I am afraid that she will also surrender Level up.

Rong Songhuai didn't have time to be considerate of his daughter's grievances, and said impatiently, "You can just coax Yue'er a few more words, she is young, what does she know? It's just that she can't save face for a while and play petty."

After many years of husband and wife, seeing her husband so old and haggard, Mrs. Rong felt very uncomfortable, and said, "Don't worry, master. According to my short-sightedness, I'd better find a way to see the imperial concubine and empress."

Rong Songhuai let out a long sigh, "It's easier said than done." His Majesty already doubted the Rong family, and now he went to the palace to greet Concubine Rong, even if he was bright and upright, Emperor Zhaode would not believe it.

The emperor's heart has been lost, and Rong Songhuai is not a powerful figure who can turn clouds and rain, even the Rong family has only exploded for decades, there is really no way, Rong Songhuai said, "You go to Haosheng to serve the old lady, the empress is in the palace Here, at least there is the Second Prince by your side. Your Majesty will always soften his heart when he thinks about the old relationship."

Madam Rong sighed, and had no choice but to go to the old lady's house to wait on the sick.

Not only is the Rong family uncomfortable, but the second grandfather Lin is also restless and tossing and turning these days, for fear that Lin Yi will find him trouble or something.

Mr. Lin Er has no talent, but he is very conceited.He was quite worried, but wanted to lose face, refused to admit it, and made friends with Rong Songhuai in private.In Xie Guogong's eyes, Rong Songhuai was both brainless and blind, but compared with the Second Grandpa Lin, Rong Songhuai was extremely intelligent.

After suffering from the Lin family's loss this time, the emperor lost all his heart, how could Rong Songhuai not hate the Lin family.He first made friends with the Second Grandpa Lin because he wanted to create trouble for Empress Dowager Lin and Lin Yi.Now the Second Grandpa Lin seems to be suffering from persecution delusions and is afraid of Lin Yi's revenge. Rong Songhuai narrowed his eyes slightly and persuaded the Second Grandpa Lin, "Although Grandpa Lin has a high title, you are his real uncle after all. You have to do whatever you want." Pay attention to the family law of your ancestors. Even if you pass by for nothing, Mr. Lin must treat you respectfully, which is the family style of Mr. Lin back then!"

As he said that, Rong Songhuai looked at Second Master Lin, and said, "I think back then, you were also a well-known figure in the imperial capital. When you went out, no one would give you the face of Second Master Lin. Now it's so easy to survive to the age of Gao Deshao, how come Not even a junior!"

The Second Grandpa Lin was provoked by Rong Songhuai with such arrogance that he had already left behind his previous anxiety.

It is said that the second master Lin was born with such a foolish and death-seeking temperament, even as the younger brother of the Queen Mother Lin, it is really not easy to live to this age safely.

There is a reason why the Second Grandpa Lin grew old safely and became a grandpa.

Second Master Lin also had a bit of luck. Although he was confused, back then, the father of Second Master Lin—the father of Empress Dowager Lin—Old Master Lin knew that his son was too cheating, and he gave birth to a child for no reason. The cheating bastard strangled to death.Helpless, Mrs. Lin had no choice but to cheat on someone else's daughter.

As a result, Mrs. Lin Er married a very sensible and powerful wife, Mrs. Lin Er.

The second old lady Lin is definitely synonymous with those who can do more work. As early as in her natal family, she had to take care of her brothers who were incompetent. Ram goods!

People, sometimes, it’s impossible not to accept fate!

The old lady Lin Er is a powerful woman, and it is because she is powerful that Master Lin Er has lived to this age safely.At the beginning, the Second Grandpa Lin wanted to win the title of duke. To be honest, no one is selfless. What's more, the title of Lin Yi has not been obtained for a long time. Rong Songhuai contacts.Thinking about the pie falling from the sky, or the blessings of the tyrants, maybe the Second Master Lin has the duke's blessing.

result……

From the day when Lin Yi took over the title, the second old lady Lin strictly ordered the second great master Lin not to associate with the Rong family, and even came to speak well of the Yue family in person.The Yue family is considered a kind person, and they can't do anything to their uncles and aunts who have separated.

Seeing that Mrs. Lin Er had just coaxed Lin Yi of the Yue family to get better, but the second Mrs. Lin went to the Rong's house to date again.

The Second Master Lin came back after being beaten up by Rong Songhuai, arrogant and arrogant, which is indescribable.The second old lady Lin knew that her husband had come back from Rong's house, she didn't say a word, she slapped her head hard, she actually slapped the second master Lin around on the spot, and then, with a thud, fell off her ass Son.

The Second Master Lin is a grandfather after all, he needs face and is about to be furious.However, before he could vent his inner evil fire, the old lady Lin Er stepped forward a few steps, neatly took down the sword hanging on the wall, and lightly shook a few light sword flowers from her wrist.The cold sharp blade was pressing on the slack neck of the Second Master Lin, and the Second Master Lin trembled, full of anger and premature venting for nine days.The second old lady Lin gritted her teeth, with a murderous aura, and said sharply, "I will kill you first, and then I will pay for your life!"
