The Founding of the Red Chamber

Leaving the imperial capital and returning to his hometown to keep his relatives and filial piety, the younger brother who stayed behind was named by the emperor by chance

Although Emperor Zhaode did not convict Cheng'en Gongfu, because Mrs. Lin was defeated in battle and his body could not be found, Lin Yi took some robes worn by Mrs. Lin and put them in the coffin. The coffin was used together to simplify the funeral, and the coffin was stored in the En Temple. Lin Yi presented the brochure for returning home to observe filial piety.

Emperor Zhaode didn't like the Lin family, so with a swipe of his pen, he agreed with great pleasure, and said, "This time you return to your hometown to observe filial piety, and the filial piety of your father and mother will add up to six years. The empress dowager always loves you, you Let's go to the Palace of Mercy and say goodbye to the Empress Dowager, so that she won't worry about her." Parents passed away, and it is reasonable to observe filial piety for 27 months.But for parents who passed away together, it is enough to keep them together for three years. It is rare to have such superimposition of father and mother's filial piety for six years.Now that Emperor Zhaode specified six years, Lin Yi would naturally have to keep it for six years.

Lin Yi took the order respectfully.

Empress Dowager Lin is the younger sister of Grandpa Lin and the aunt of Lin Yi.

Empress Dowager Lin was sitting on the couch. She was nearly forty years old, but she was as beautiful as in her twenties. Her green hair was like a cloud and only a phoenix hairpin with pearls was embedded in it.This kind of attire is too simple even among noble ladies, not to mention that Empress Dowager Lin is the empress dowager's honor.Lin Yi understood that the Empress Dowager Lin must have grieved over her brother's death, so she reduced her decorations.

"Is the funeral going well?" Queen Mother Lin asked.

Lin Yi said, "Don't worry, Madam, everything is going well."

Empress Dowager Lin sighed slightly, "That's good."

"I remember when I was young, my elder brother admired the heroic spirit of the founding general Meng wholeheartedly, and determined to fight on the battlefield." The Queen Mother Lin said quietly, "Now my brother is shrouded in horse leather..." If it weren't for the high merits of the Lin family back then, as a prostitute, she might not have been elected Palace.If she hadn't entered the palace, she might have a different fate now.

Empress Dowager Lin was stunned for a moment, and then asked after a while, "I heard that you are planning to return to your hometown to keep filial piety for your parents."

"Yes." Lin Yi said, "I can't be filial to my mother in the imperial capital, but I still hope that the empress dowager will take good care of her body. In this way, even thousands of miles away, I can feel at ease."

Empress Dowager Lin said softly, "It's good to go back to my hometown. It's just that I have been there for six years. I don't know when we will see each other." What Emperor Zhaode said in the Imperial Study Room, Empress Dowager Lin heard it in the Palace of Mercy, which shows that he is well informed.After a pause, Empress Dowager Lin asked again, "How is brother?" This was Lin Yi's brother who had just fallen into the grass.

"Si'er is fine, but she's weaker."

It's not just a weak body, now that the full moon has just passed, Duke Cheng'en's mansion has visited the imperial doctor three or four times, and he has eaten more medicinal soup than milk, just like this, he has to be watched with a good eye, so that he can breathe a sigh of relief exist.

How could the Empress Dowager Lin not know about the imperial doctor's transmission from Cheng'en Gong's mansion, and sighed, "Although Shandong is not far from the imperial capital, it's just that it's cold today, and the fourth child has just been born. " Seeing that Lin Yi also showed a worried expression, Queen Mother Lin said, "Forget it, it's better to keep Si'er. I think this child seems to be a lucky one. He is at my knee, and he can relieve my worries."

Now that Queen Mother Lin has spoken, her aunt, and after returning to her hometown, it is no easier to find a famous doctor in Shandong than in the imperial capital.Lin Yi was really worried about his younger brother's health, and said seriously, "On behalf of my younger brother, I would like to thank you for your kindness."

Empress Dowager Lin waved her hand, signaling Lin Yi not to be too polite, and said, "Come and have lunch with me at noon."

Empress Dowager Lin has always been kind to her natal family, leaving Lin Yi for lunch, Emperor Zhaode heard about it and came to join in the fun.Every time he came to Mercy Palace, Emperor Zhaode felt unspeakably awkward. He didn't like Queen Mother Lin, but he had to be convinced in his heart.Looking at the entire harem, the most luxurious building is not the Charity Palace, but the Fengyi Palace of the Empress Xie.However, in terms of the elegance of the palace, Fengyi Palace is not even as good as the corner of the Charity Palace, let alone the talent of Empress Dowager Lin.

As soon as Empress Dowager Lin entered the palace, she was the successor of the late emperor. The only son of the late emperor was Emperor Zhaode, but he died early. Emperor Zhaode was less than eight years old when he closed his eyes.Later, Emperor Zhaode's biological mother, Concubine Rong Gui, was promoted to the Empress Dowager by virtue of her son Gui, and she was located in the Palace of Compassion and Ning, side by side with Empress Dowager Lin.But in terms of etiquette, Empress Dowager Rong is still at the head of Empress Dowager Lin.But when it comes to the close relationship with Emperor Zhaode, Empress Dowager Rong is naturally the first.It is also because of this that after the death of the first emperor, Empress Dowager Lin used the excuse of being too sad to rest in the Palace of Mercy and care about the world.

Empress Dowager Rong was ambitious, because Emperor Zhaode was still young, Empress Dowager Rong relied on being the emperor's biological mother, so she wanted to come to listen to the government behind the curtain, and the female middle school was the sky.Empress Dowager Rong is a person who has a will for heaven, but a genius if she doesn't.The miasma in the court was stirred up by this woman, and it must be known that the civil and military affairs of the court were not for display. After a fight, Empress Dowager Rong returned to heaven for some reason.Others are okay, Emperor Zhaode scares half of his life first.

At a critical time, Empress Dowager Lin, who honored and supported the Palace of Mercy, came forward to choose a harem for the nine-year-old Emperor Zhaode.Although the emperor is young, it doesn't hurt to be a playmate for the time being.Anyway, girls from famous families and noble relatives made a pile and put them in the palace, and the court was quiet for a while.The Empress Dowager Lin freed her hands to sort out the government affairs carefully. After that, the courtiers felt that they were driving away wolves and attracting tigers.Empress Dowager Rong is just stupid, but she is easy to play with. If it doesn’t work, she can make Empress Dowager Rong die without anyone noticing; The method of killing Empress Dowager Rong without making a sound is not necessary for Empress Liu.

In this way, the world was turned upside down, and in the end, it was the Queen Mother Lin who benefited and gained power.

Before Emperor Zhaode came to power, Empress Dowager Lin was in charge of all political affairs in the court.

In terms of rights, not to mention the aunt and concubine, even the mother and son, there are many people who turned their faces.

Moreover, in Emperor Zhaode's heart, when his biological mother, Empress Dowager Rong passed away, the winner in the end was Empress Dowager Lin.Even though Emperor Zhaode didn't have any evidence, in the middle of the night, it wasn't that he didn't go through this heart.

It's just that since Empress Dowager Rong passed away, Emperor Zhaode was raised in front of Empress Dowager Lin. Empress Dowager Lin was not a fool. Dirty, indescribably complicated.However, if Emperor Zhaode was asked to attack Empress Dowager Lin, he would not be able to be so cruel, nor would he have the ability.

Emperor Zhaode greeted Empress Dowager Lin first, and Empress Dowager Lin had a friendly smile on her back, as if this was his own parent and child. He took Emperor Zhaode's hand and sat beside him, and asked, "It's so cold outside. Where did the emperor come from?"

Emperor Zhaode smiled, "After approving the papers for a long time, I come from the imperial study."

Empress Dowager Lin patted Emperor Zhaode's hand, "This hand is very warm, and the people around me take good care of it." She praised the people who served Emperor Zhaode very much.

Emperor Zhaode smiled affectionately, "The queen mother loves her son."

Empress Dowager Lin smiled, "I'll keep brother Yi for lunch, and the emperor will also eat with my old lady. It's lively."

Emperor Zhaode naturally agreed.

The people of the royal family, good or bad, are better than anyone else at the very least.

The loving mother, the filial son, and the loyal son had eaten a meal. Lin Yi formally bid farewell to the Queen Mother, took his parents' coffin, packed up and went back to his hometown in Shandong, leaving his younger brother, who had just turned one month, at the Queen Mother's side to celebrate.

One day, Emperor Zhaode came to pay his respects to Empress Dowager Lin. When he saw Lin Si, who was as thin as a cat, he asked casually, "Do you have a name?"

Empress Dowager Lin has lived for decades, but she has never brought up a child herself, and because Lin Si is weak, she loves him even more.Seeing Emperor Zhaode's question, Empress Dowager Lin sighed, "Oh, Cheng Engong and his wife have passed away one after another, and Brother Yi has returned to Shandong. He is so busy, how can he be named."

Emperor Zhaode was in a good mood, and said, "I forgot to tell the queen mother, Guan Tingyu won the battle, and the victory report has just been delivered."

Empress Dowager Lin was overjoyed immediately, and praised, "This is because the emperor governs the country well, so there are many famous generals."

The corners of Emperor Zhaode's lips curled up slightly, and he said humbly, "How can I be as good as my mother said, I am today, all taught by my mother."

Empress Dowager Lin smiled gratifiedly and patted Emperor Zhaode's hand.Emperor Zhaode was in a good mood, recalling the benefits of Empress Dowager Lin in the past, and then looked at the thin and pitiful Lin Si in the arms of the palace lady. He didn't feel an eyesore, but liked it a little more, and said, "I see this child is born Well, if he hasn't been named yet, I will give him a name, how about the empress look?"

Empress Dowager Lin laughed, "This is Si'er's blessing."

Emperor Zhaode pondered for a moment, and said, "Now that Muzhou is victorious and the border is peaceful, Cheng Engong's goalkeeper is a military commander. I bestow the word Jing on him. I hope that when he grows up in the future, he can also contribute to the court and bring peace to the world. "

The palace lady hurriedly embraced Lin Jing who had just been named, and bowed down to thank her.

Emperor Zhaode's intentions were good, but Lin Jing obviously failed Emperor Zhaode's expectations. Due to premature birth, he had been in poor health since he was a child, not to mention wielding knives and guns. Before he was three years old, Lin Jing was stumbling because of his weak health. , the appearance and size are not as big as other people's two-year-old children.What he often does is to wear a soft shirt by the side of Queen Mother Lin, and listen to Queen Mother Lin teach him to read and write.

Strange to say, perhaps because of poor health, Lin Jing seldom went out to play, but the things in his books were quite spiritual, and it was not an exaggeration at all.Empress Dowager Lin read it once, and he can retell it verbatim.Empress Dowager Lin liked his wisdom, and she taught Lin Jing with all her heart.
