The Founding of the Red Chamber

Of course, Chen Qibao couldn't make Chen Qibao commit suicide just by using the words of love.

Lin Jing also carefully analyzed Chen Qibao's career as an emperor over the past ten years, starting from Chen Qibao's status as a puppet emperor, from Chen Qibao's effort to seize the imperial power to fight against all opinions. The Battle of the Japanese started, even from the time when Chen Qibao sat and watched Governor Zhang be forced to die, until Chen Qibao now, there are no reinforcements outside, no loyal ministers inside, only one Lin Yi can stop one person, can stop a hundred people, can stop Block thousands of people?

Also, Lin Jing pointed out that he knew that Chen Qibao had come to an end, because the imperial court had no money.

In the war against the Japanese, the rebellion of the powerful clan, and the rebellion outside the customs, the imperial court couldn't even manufacture new swords. Lin Jing guessed that the treasury bank of the household department might not even have enough money to support the manufacture of weapons.Even if Lin Jing was asked to think about it, he couldn't figure out where Chen Qibao's way out was.

Chen Qibao is not without ambition, nor is he without a bit of talent, and even those who don't know him well, will feel vaguely that he has the appearance of a wise king.However, Chen Qibao really didn't have the talent of an emperor. He didn't understand that the reason why the country came to this point was not because the emperor's power fell by the wayside, or even that he sat by and watched Governor Zhang commit suicide, nor did it lie in the fact that there were all villains in the court.The disadvantage of the imperial court is that the world has already been eroded by the powerful clans, the rights are shared by them, the land is annexed by them, the imperial court has difficulty in taxation, and the king is unable to do what he wants.Chen Qibao always thought that if he won power from Kong and Xie's family, he could revive the king's prestige.

As it turns out, he was wrong.

This country is no longer able to regroup by belittling a powerful official.

This country has reached the point where it is difficult to treat severe diseases, and it is difficult to return to the accumulated accumulation.Chen Qibao, the emperor chosen for the powerful family of the dynasty, was not the master chosen by Jiangshan for him.

Chen Qibao finally wanted to call Lin Yi for a meeting, but he never did.

When Lin Yi learned that the palace was on fire, he thought it was a rebel entering the palace. When he arrived in the palace, Chen Qibao sat quietly on the dragon chair in Zhaode Hall. You will think that this is still the king who worships every day.

Chen Qibao only left Lin Yi with one line: You have not betrayed me, but I have betrayed you.

After Chen Qibao's death, although the servants and servants in the palace were extremely panicked, the order was still in good order and there was no chaos.Lin Yi knew that it must be the work of the Empress Dowager Kong, but now the Empress Dowager Kong was full of tears and asked Lin Yi, "How is it going now?"

Lin Yi said, "Your Majesty already has dragon sons."

The Empress Dowager Kong could hardly contain her sobs, and said softly, "The Crown Prince will be buried before His Majesty."

Lin Yi's upright body seemed to be unstable, and the Queen Mother Kong said to Lin Yi, "Your Majesty has been on the throne for several years, and future generations will tell the merits and demerits. Let's talk about the present first."

"Your Majesty listens to your Majesty's orders."

Empress Dowager Kong’s tears flowed even more urgently. For a while, Fang breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Everything is for the people. As long as the troops outside the pass will not harm the people, let's open the city gate. Now that His Majesty has gone, they want the Qing Dynasty to be sidelined." , whatever they want, they can clear whoever they want."

Lin Yi looked at Empress Dowager Kong, who wiped away her tears and said, "If it is God's will, this is the idea of ​​the Ai family. In the future, the Ai family will bear the burden of infamy."

"Miss."

"Go."

Lin Yi was also terribly shocked by Chen Qibao's death. He was about to leave the palace, but the Queen Mother called him, "Mr. Lin?"

Lin Yi turned around, and the Queen Mother Kong said in a low voice, "Your Majesty said, no matter what, please take care of yourself, Your Majesty and Aijia understand your loyalty. Please ask Lin Guogong to lead you out of the city, okay?"

"Anyone is fine, I don't need it."

The Empress Dowager Kong choked up and shed tears again.Lin Yi saluted again, seeing that the Queen Mother had nothing to say, so she could leave conveniently.

The Empress Dowager Kong then called all the officials to discuss the opening of the city gate.

Lin Yi first arranged the affairs of the imperial guards, and instead of going to court, he returned home.

Seeing her husband coming home, the Yue clan rushed out to greet her husband. Lin Ze and several younger siblings were all there, but no one said anything about the current war in the capital.Lin Yi smiled and said, "It's rare to go home and ask the chef to prepare a table of good wine. We are busy now, and our family hasn't eaten together for a long time."

Upon hearing this, Yue's tears rolled down, and he quickly wiped away his head.

Lin Ze's eyes were also full of worry, Yue said, "That's good, the master is busy, so he lost weight."

The kitchen quickly set up a sumptuous feast of wine and dinner. Lin Yi looked at the three sons and one daughter with joy in his eyes, raised his glass and said, "Let's eat one first as a family."

After everyone had finished drinking, Lin Yifang said, "You are all young, so you probably don't remember your fourth uncle very much. A Ze, when you were young, your fourth uncle loved you the most, and you also liked him the most. You have loved him since you were born. In one place. He has been in poor health since he was a child, and he doesn’t go out often. He takes you to play when he has nothing to do at home. You are a little older and can walk, chasing after his ass all day long, like a little tail. Me and him , It’s just that the political views are different, and there is no enmity between brothers. Your three uncles, only your younger uncle, is a compatriot with my mother. He and I are also much different in age. Your own children are the same. So, even though you haven't spent much time with him, you should know that he is your elder, and treat him as you would treat me, you know?"

Lin Yi has always been dignified at home, and the children quickly got up to respond.

After a feast of wine, Lin Yi sent the children away, and Yue Shi sat beside him, with tears rolling down his eyes, he asked Lin Yi, "Is it that it's not all right outside?"

Lin Yi said, "In the past, people often said about our Lin family in the court. I was in the court, and Ah Jing was outside the pass. There was no delay. If the court wins, the Lin family will be rich and honored. .Don't worry. I still have something to discuss with A Yun."

The Yue family looked at Lin Yi, "Master and I are always together."

Lin Yi said, "Go and see Nannan. These days, I think she is also very worried. The children are still young, so don't worry about it."

Lin Yi went to the study, and Shu Jingyun's expression was hard to hide. Once Chen Qibao died, even if there were loyal ministers in the court, the defeat would be over.

At this time, Lin Yi didn't go around in circles, and asked Shu Jingyun directly, "Does Ah Jing have anything to tell you?"

Shu Jingyun's face was a little embarrassed, and Lin Yi waved his hand, "It was impossible for him to contact you before. You are mine after all. I can't trust anyone. I killed Tu Xiaosi before, and I haven't seen Tu Xiaosan until now. Even if Tu Xiaosan couldn't get away for a while, there was no additional troops outside the city, so it can be seen that Tu Xiaosan didn't know what happened to Tu Xiaosi. There was no one else who could stop the news, except Ah Jing. If he wants to keep me, he will definitely contact you. If he has any plans, please tell me directly. "

Shu Jingyun said, "There is a large formation in Savage Valley. They had no choice but to enter Savage Valley, and they entered this formation to save their lives. He said in the letter that no one left that large formation, and all it used was from Yi Xue The technique of gossip is very miraculous. He has already told me the location of the formation, why not go there and avoid it."

Lin Yilue thought about it, "At the beginning, the soldiers outside the pass were able to use this formation to survive, so it can be seen that there is indeed something magical in it."

Shu Jingyun asked, "What do you mean?"

"As soon as we leave, he will be in trouble." Lin Yi said with emotion, "I'll let them pack up immediately."

Shu Jingyun nodded.

After a while, Yue Hou came over. When Yue Hou saw Lin Yi, he said, "Your Majesty, the crown prince died, and the Queen Mother said that if you want to leave the city, please invite foreign troops to enter the city. I said, Your Majesty gave you the command of the Imperial Guard earlier. It’s good that you lead the way. The empress is determined to Xie Guogong, isn’t it annoying!”

Lin Yi said, "What's so annoying about this, I told my empress a long time ago, I won't go to anyone."

Marquis Yue stumbled and sighed, "My dear son-in-law, now is not the time to talk about face. Although our Ah Jing has the final say outside the customs, you have hurt the younger brother of General Tu, and now you can make some achievements. With Ah Jing's face, this matter will be over."

Lin Yi didn't speak anymore, Yue Hou sighed once, the messenger was robbed by someone surnamed Xie, Yue Hou also had no choice but to let it go.

Xie Guogong couldn't wait until tomorrow for the surrender.

I got it done that afternoon.

In the absence of Tu Xiaosan, Lin Jing acted as the representative and took over the jade seal from Xie Guogong on behalf of Tu Xiaosan.Lin Jing handed Yuxi over to the attendants at the side, helped Xie Guogong up himself, and said softly, "The general will never forget the merits of the Duke."

Xie Guogong said in a mournful voice, "As long as the general treats the people well and the officials well, there is nothing to worry about if there is only one guilty minister."

"The Duke is too worried, the general's words count." He took Xie Guogong's hand and ordered his generals to take over the imperial guards. Lin Jing took Xie Guogong into the city together.

Lin Jing first entered the palace with all the officials, met the Empress Dowager Kong, discussed the funeral for Emperor Daxing, and asked the Empress Dowager Kong to live in the Palace of Mercy, and then left the palace respectfully.Lin Jing went out of the palace and went straight to Duke Lin's mansion. In front of the gate of Duke Lin's mansion, Lin Teng and Xiao Niuzi were already facing each other.

Lin Jing glanced at Xiao Niuzi, waved to the attendant, the attendant stepped forward, knocked Xiao Niuzi unconscious and took care of him, Lin Jing glanced at Xiao Niuzi's lieutenant general, said coldly, "Back off!" Then, he strode into the mansion.

Lin Yi was already waiting for him.

It has been more than ten years since the two brothers met each other peacefully.

Looking at each other for a while, no one spoke, but Lin Yi said, "I know everything you and Ah Yun said. You have grown up and the arrangement is very proper, so I won't say thank you to you, brother."

Lin Jing's eye circles turned red, and Lin Yi laughed, "I saw you jumping off the Wujiang River in the south of the Yangtze River. At that time, I also thought about it. If you die, you will end the disaster of the court. It depends on your temperament." , You must be gnashing your teeth so much you hate me, why are you crying?"

"For most of our lives, brothers have turned against each other, relatives have been separated, and friends have been at odds. What is the reason?"

"For our respective ambitions." Compared to Lin Jing's excitement, Lin Yifan was more peaceful, "I think the imperial court still has a way to save it. I thought that I could raise this fallen country. However, the facts have proved that , your vision is better than mine."

Lin Yi looked at Lin Jing, Lin Jing looked extremely thin, and his eyes had a very thin sharpness, as if they could penetrate all the thoughts and schemes in this world.Lin Yi's eyes were gentle, and there was a hint of relief in that gentleness. Lin Yi said, "A man should have his own ambitions when he is alive. Although this ambition sometimes makes us suffer, suffer, or sacrifice our lives, It's all worth it. A man should be like this."

The two brothers didn't say anything more, Lin Yi said, "Let Ah Yun and your sister-in-law take the children first, I still have something to do here."

"Elder brother, if there is anything else, I will do it on behalf of elder brother, it's the same."

"You can't do it, I will always send His Majesty a ride."

Lin Jing Haoxuan didn't say anything harsh, Lin Jing said, "Brother, you can go with sister-in-law, Chen Qibao has already gone to the Palace of the King of Hell to reincarnate." Seeing Lin Yi's face darken, Lin Jing said, "I'm afraid it will be late. change."

Lin Yi said, "Don't worry, it won't be too late. I'm always going to make a sacrifice in front of His Majesty's Mausoleum. They're women and they walk slowly. Let them go first. I know how to get there."

Lin Jing was marching and fighting, and the lives of a large family were at stake, so Lin Jingli went to arrange it.

Lin Yi personally said to the Yue family, "You go first, I know the route, and I will go to you after your majesty's funeral."

The Yue clan repeatedly urged her husband, and even entrusted her husband to his uncle, the Yue clan said, "Ah Jing, you should pay more attention to your elder brother."

Lin Jing said, "Sister-in-law, don't worry."

Shu Jingyun said, "I will stay and accompany the Duke."

"No need." Lin Yi didn't need any more persuasion, and said to Shu Jingyun, "I don't worry if you are not with the children. Stop talking, go."

The big family of the Lin family, including the master, the slaves and the generals, walked quite fast.Most of the family left, and the rest were the two brothers. Lin Jing also said, "Don't be like the loyal ministers and generals of ancient times, and don't spoil my heart."

Lin Yi patted him on the shoulder, "You haven't come home for more than ten years, and you don't say sacrifice to your father and ancestors when you go home." He took Lin Jing to the ancestral hall.

Although Lin Jing was worried about Lin Yi, he also enjoyed this rare moment of brotherhood, "Didn't you expel me from the family tree?"

Lin Yi said, "If you leave the clan, don't you have the surname Lin and don't recognize your ancestors?"

On these principles, Lin Jing couldn't say anything more than Lin Yi.

The Lin family's mansions are grand and majestic. The ancestral hall is also cleaned and looked after every day. It is full of tablets of the ancestors, and the portraits of the ancestors are hung in the middle of the wall.Lin Jing said suddenly, "When I was a child, my aunt was very kind to me when I was in the palace, but sometimes, when I looked at the princes and daughters of Emperor Zhaode, I would also think, I don't know what my parents are like. Later, I gradually learned , both father and mother passed away, and secretly grieved for a while."

Lin Yi patted Lin Jing's shoulder, lit the incense himself, lit it, and handed it to Lin Jing, "Father and mother have knowledge under the spring, seeing you are so outstanding, I must be very pleased and proud."

Lin Jing looked at Lin Yi, and Lin Yi also took three pillars of incense. The two brothers kowtowed to their ancestors. Lin Yi put the incense into the incense burner, and said to Lin Jing, "From now on, I will leave it to you to sacrifice to the ancestors."

Lin Jing nodded.

Lin Yi said, "After I leave, I'm afraid it will be difficult for you in Xinchao."

"What are you talking about? I was outside the customs first, and I must have caused a lot of trouble for my brother."

Lin Yi waved his hand, "Let's not talk about that, I heard that you are very close to that general, and you have never been married to him all these years."

Lin Jing's face was a little uncomfortable, Lin Yi saw Lin Jing's description, and he knew it in his heart.Lin Yi said, "Ah Jing, you've grown up too. You've always been smart, and you have your own judgments about many things. Big brother is more rigid, seeing you growing up, always worrying. In this world, everything must be evenly matched. Yes. It is a marriage, and it also pays attention to the right family. If he is just a general, even if he was in the world before, if you fancy him, as long as you can be happy, I will not say anything. But now, he is already With such a position, he will eventually ascend to this supreme position. I don't want you to be wronged like this."

"What's more, for me, you concealed the matter of disciple Xiaosi and didn't report it. We all have brothers. If we compare our hearts, I can know how angry he will be when he finds out about this." Lin Yi said, "In this world, there are not only You can do anything about love. Ah Jing, you have to be careful with him, I want to see you get married and have children."

Lin Jing's heart ached beyond words, and he said after a long while, "I will be careful."

"That's good."
