The Founding of the Red Chamber

Humans are emotional beings.

It is impossible for a human being to have no feelings, not to mention Lin Jing, who has always had a clear distinction between love and hate.

In fact, unlike Tu Xiaosan's hesitation, Lin Jing had already figured it out.Although he and his eldest brother have a good relationship, their positions have never been different.He has also been in this world for the rest of his life, and he can't live like this, hiding his head and showing his tail. He has his ambitions, they are different, and it will be a matter of time before they part ways!

Mrs. Zhang took Shui Li to do business at sea, while Lin Jing and Tu Xiaosan were preparing for the upcoming battle.

Lin Jing is definitely a master who has thoroughly studied the imperial court. Sure enough, the Jinzhong Army moved first.In fact, at this time, it is not impossible for the Guanwai army to take Yanmen Pass, but the Beijing army did not move.

The peace of the Beijing Army also attracted Lin Yi's attention.

Shu Jingyun said, "At first, I thought that the Beijing army dared to go to the memorial before, and I thought it was torn face with the imperial court. It is strange that such a good opportunity has not been moved."

"Anomalies must be demons." Lin Yi's eyes fell on the topographic map laid out on the large case in front of him, but he spoke to Shu Jingyun, "Do you think the Beijing Army has not yet torn face with the court?"

"It's broken, but now General Guan is suppressing the rebellion in the south of the Yangtze River. For the Beijing Army, it's a godsend opportunity. They are not far from Jinzhong. I'm afraid they can't hide the news from Jinzhong. I thought, They must move." Shu Jingyun frowned slightly, expressing her confusion.In his opinion, the Beijing Army is definitely not stupid, and the leader of the Beijing Army, General Lin Da, although he rose from humble beginnings, is extremely talented in warfare.How could the Beijing Army miss such a good opportunity.

Lin Yi looked away from the topographic map, turned around and sat down on the rose chair beside him, pointing to the bottom, Shu Jingyun sat down together, Shu Jingyun suddenly said, "Do you think Ah Jing will still be there?"

This question made Lin Yi fall into a rare silence. After a long time, Lin Yi took a sip of some cold tea in his hand, and his tone couldn't have been more indifferent, "At the beginning, the imperial court had to say that the Guanwai army was buried in Savage Ridge. He didn't agree with this statement, not entirely because of brotherhood. The Guanwai Army has always been brave. Although Duan Feiyu was born in the rebel army, to be fair, he is also a rare general. Unless you see their bodies, otherwise, just say the Guanwai Army Annihilating the entire army at Savage Ridge would be reckless."

"Do you remember that in the third year after the King Jinling Rebellion was put down, accidents happened frequently in the army outside the pass. Many high-ranking generals were either found out about corruption, or went out to reeling bandits and died accidentally. But that officialdom After the turmoil, the whole outside the pass quickly calmed down, and it is still stable now." Shu Jingyun leaned forward slightly, and only the two of them could hear her voice, "After the Beijing army turned against the imperial court, I asked someone to quietly check the situation outside the pass. Governor Shi's family, guess what?"

Lin Yi looked at Shu Jingyun, his face was still calm, but for some reason, his heart couldn't help but move, Shu Jingyun said, "All the close family members of Governor Shi have left their hometown and gone outside the pass."

Lin Yi sighed, "Governor Shi has been in the position of governor outside the customs for ten years, and he has been safe so far. If there is any change outside the customs, the cooperation of him, a big official in frontier, must be indispensable."

"What I'm worried about is that the current general of the Beijing Army, the former Jiangnan general, is named Lin." Shu Jingyun's voice became lower and lower.

"Lin Jing doesn't know martial arts, this can't be him."

"But as far as I know, there is a scholar surnamed Li next to General Lin. This scholar once made great military exploits in Quanzhou. At that time, he was dissatisfied with Qingliu, saying that Li Xiucai was cruel and had no scholars. Benevolence, therefore, Li Xiucai did not discuss merit. This Li Xiucai has a single name of Qing. Li Qing, Li Qing, is a word of Jing." Shu Jingyun gently rubbed the center of her eyebrows with two fingers, but she couldn't rub the part of her heart. The lingering weirdness, "It's just that Ah Jing has always been at odds with the imperial court. If it was him, why would he go south to suppress bandits for the imperial court?"

"For the army."

In the quiet study room where there were only two of them, Lin Yi's voice was not loud, but it seemed to be magnified countless times by the silent winter night, like a heavy hammer falling on Shu Jingyun's ears and heart.Shu Jingyun jumped up from her chair and looked at Lin Yi in shock.Lin Yi's eyes remained calm and calm, "Even if the troops outside the Guan could come out of Savage Ridge alive, there might be very few left. All the wealth of the family was revealed, but at that time there were 3 troops outside the customs, and it was probably most of his family property. The population growth was no different than others. If he wanted to reorganize his business, he would have to recruit soldiers again, but there were not so many young men outside the customs. He must go to other places to find people. He will not come to the capital. Even Zhili and other places are important places in the capital. He can get a piece of the pie. Only Jiangnan, which has experienced the chaos of the King of Jinling, is not only far away from the capital. At that time, Jiangnan had just gone through wars and was waiting to be rebuilt. Even the original local forces must be restored. He arrived in Jiangnan , I was very lucky to catch up with the imperial court’s war against the Japanese. Where else can I recruit people in a more straightforward manner than in the army? So, if it is really him, he is not suppressing bandits for the imperial court, he is for himself Training."

"Train soldiers by war." Shu Jingyun slowly sat back in the chair. What shocked him was not only Lin Jing's incognito fiddle with the wind and rain in the south of the Yangtze River, but also Shu Jingyun's firm grip on the armrest of the wooden chair. The army brought it back to the outside of the pass!"

Shu Jingyun's thoughts were very fast, and he quickly thought of the crux, "I don't know, does Governor Zhang know his identity?" Although Shu Jingyun said this, it was not what Shu Jingyun cared about most, Shu Jingyun's eyes darkened, and she said it very quickly He said, "If Governor Zhang knew his identity and was willing to commit suicide, he would really be fulfilled!" With these words, Lin Jing was suspected to be related to the death of Governor Zhang.It's no wonder that Shu Jingyun was suspicious, indeed, Lin Jing benefited the most from Governor Zhang's death.

If Lin Jing had been involved in Governor Zhang's suicide, it would be hard to guarantee the chaos in the south of the Yangtze River, and Lin Jing would not have benefited from it.

The gazes of Lin Yi and Shu Jingyun met at the same place, and they realized at the same time how far Lin Jing, who was far away from the capital, had grown in these years.He was no longer the wealthy young man who was fond of clothes and angry horses back then, but now Lin Jing is a figure who can turn the world upside down.

Rao Lin Yi and Shu Jingyun, two people who have a deep friendship with Lin Jing, are shocked, but at the same time they are full of mixed feelings, and they can't express what they feel in their hearts.

However, the emotional turmoil will not affect Lin Yi's judgment and decision. He said, "I will post a message to the Xia family tomorrow. Hasn't Saburo Xia returned to Beijing? Let him come over, I have something to ask."

"Yes."

What he did in the south of the Yangtze River, even Tu Xiaosan could say, was due to Lin Jing's ingenuity.However, Lin Yi and Shu Jingyun were able to guess [-]% of the time based on guesswork. It must be someone who knows Lin Jing very well, and it must be Lin Shu's aptitude.

However, it's just speculation right now.

This guess was confirmed when Lin Yi met Xia Sanlang the next day.

Although Xia Sanlang has also been experienced in the officialdom for many years, he still lacks firepower compared to Lin Yi.Whether Lin Yi cheated or asked, Xia Sanlang could hardly avoid showing his flaws.Xia Sanlang said softly, "He also has good intentions and wants to do his best for the imperial court."

Lin Yi said mercilessly, "If the Beijing Army hadn't rebelled, I would have believed you if you told me that. Now, would you believe it yourself?"

Xia Sanlang's face changed accordingly, which shows that his mood was agitated. After a long time, Xia Sanlang regained his composure, "Peking Pass was broken by rogue Japanese bandits. The government strongly opposes it, but the imperial court is not willing to listen. If the imperial court listens, at least the Jiangnan army will not be able to return to the outside of the pass."

"Why didn't you come and tell me?" Lin Yi asked.

"Why?" Xia Sanlang's calm eyes were like a calm ice surface, and ice marks suddenly cracked, and a trace of red slowly soaked into his eye sockets, and his voice was low and cruel, "Who is Ah Jing? He is doing it for my sister." Those who avenge blood hatred! All these years, he has never forgotten Ah Chu, never married! He is my brother-in-law, my younger brother! It is the law of the court, and there is a rule of intimacy! I know. Why should I say it? My loyalty to the imperial court has already been exhausted. The imperial court refused to listen to my advice! The Jiangnan army returned to the outside of the pass, and the imperial court transferred the Jiangnan army to Beijingguan to suppress the rebellion. Today’s situation in Jiangnan, not to mention the Jiangnan Army, even I would like to ask, where is Governor Zhang? The imperial court forced Governor Zhang to death and broke his own arm. Who can blame him?”

"Governor Zhang's death really has nothing to do with Lin Jing? You never doubted him in your heart?" Compared to Xia Sanlang's excitement, Lin Yi was not moved at all.

"Governor Zhang was jointly impeached by the governors of Zhejiang and Fujian, and Murong personally went north to help, but failed to stop Governor Zhang. The reason why Murong went north was that Ah Jing ordered her before the Jiangnan Army went to Guangdong and Guangxi. Governor Ruozhang There is something wrong there, let Mu Rong help." Xia Sanlang sighed softly, "Ah Jing, he really has seen through the court." Or, when Governor Zhang transferred Zhili, Lin Jing knew that Governor Zhang was in danger.

Xia Sanlang had indescribable disappointment in his tone, "Brother Lin, why should you be suspicious of Ah Jing? Based on Governor Zhang's military exploits, can he not be admitted to the cabinet? You and I both know that Governor Zhang has lost power in the court since he failed to join the cabinet. As the governor of Zhili, even if the governors of Zhejiang and Fujian have great grievances, there is no reason to directly submit to impeach the governor? Could it be that they are obsessed with lard and don't know how to use secret documents? Besides, after they wrote the letter, the court There is no defense at all, but Governor Zhang is asked to defend himself. Governor Zhang is not dead at that time, when will we wait? Should we wait until the reputation is ruined and life is worse than death before dying? We know exactly why Governor Zhang died If it is a peaceful world, the officials are clear and the people live in peace, even if Ah Jing's wisdom is as deep as the sea, I am afraid that he will not be able to make any waves."

"You walked in the army when you were young, and later you got the honor. The foreign party, first in Jinling, saw with your own eyes what kind of corpses and blood flowed in the war against the Japanese. Let me tell you, that is just Jiangnan. In one corner, no matter how fierce the Japanese bandits are, they are only in the tens of thousands. If the world is in chaos, how many people will be displaced and separated from their families, and how many people will become nameless ghosts in troubled times! Now the court seems to you, There may be too many injustices, but with the imperial court in place, the people of the world can always live a peaceful life. Once the country is unstable, the days when the bones are exposed in the wild and there is no rooster crowing for thousands of miles will not be far away!" Lin Yi gently Holding Xia Sanlang's shoulder, "If you were not a loyal minister of the imperial court, why did you oppose the Jiangnan army going north to pacify the Jingguan chaos in Beibei? Sanlang, you are afraid that it will be very difficult in your heart? You are afraid of it in your heart. Is it something about Jiangnan?"

"Sanlang, an affair is an affair, you should have your own position in your heart."

"I'm not asking you to break with Lin Jing, nor is I pushing you to Lin Jing. Standing never interferes with personal feelings. I don't want you to be so hesitant and indecisive. A man should not be like this. A man should make a decision. break."

Xia Sanlang asked, "If Ah Jing is in front of Brother Lin, how will Brother Lin stop?"

Lin Yi said decisively, "Chop off his head!"
