The Founding of the Red Chamber

Lin Jing really didn't expect Lin Yi to commit suicide.

Even though outsiders called Lin Jing and Lin Yi the twin heroes of the Lin family, and put Lin Jing and Lin Yi side by side, even after the foreign troops entered the customs, some people would say that Lin Jing was stronger than Lin Yi.However, in Lin Jing's heart, Lin Yi has always been like a father and brother.Even if they were masters in the south of the Yangtze River, Lin Yineng was so hard-hearted, watching Lin Jing jump into the Wujiang River, he was not moved in any way.Lin Jing believes that Lin Yi has a will like steel.

How could such an elder brother commit suicide?

When Lin Jing found out about this, he was writing a letter to his disciple Xiaosan. When Lin Jing ran to Lin Yi's study when he heard the attendant's report, Lin Yi was lying in the bloodstains, dead for a long time, holding Lin Yi's sword in his hand.Lin Jing was in great pain at the moment, turned around and left, but when he reached the door of the study, he spurted out a mouthful of blood.

The confidants hurriedly supported Lin Jing's crumbling body, Lin Jing firmly grasped the door frame, his face was already pale and green, he wiped the blood from the corners of his lips vigorously, and ordered, "After burying, immediately cremate. "Then, he pushed away the attendant and left the study quickly.

Lin Jing did not silence the news of Lin Yi's passing, so he spread the word.

There were many people who wanted to find out, especially the old courtiers, they all knew about Lin Yi's loyalty to Chen Qibao.All of a sudden, Lin Yi died, this ground-breaking funeral, and, should we go to mourn one or two.

However, the Lin family is now in charge of Lin Jing, and with Lin Jing's temperament, even Xie Guogong would not dare to touch his bad luck.

Lin Jing had absolutely no intention of mourning for Lin Yi, so he went back to his room and continued to write letters to Tu Xiaosan.The letter still didn't say anything about Tu Xiaosi, but said that Chen Qibao was dead, and he would ask Queen Mother Kong to issue a handwritten decree ordering Guan Tingyu to surrender, and after Tu Xiaosan took over the frontier army, he came to court immediately Take over the court affairs.The matter of Chen Qibao's funeral cannot be left to Xiaosan to decide.After finishing this letter, Lin Jing began to write the second letter. This letter was addressed to Mrs. Zhang. Tu Xiaosan would not be able to return to the capital in a while. At this time, Mrs. Zhang was needed to come over to preside over the overall situation.

After breakfast that day, Lin Jing took a car to Jiumen for a round of inspection. Seeing that everyone was working hard after taking over the city guard, Lin Jing was relieved.

At noon that day, Lin Jing went to the palace to have lunch with the Queen Mother of Kong. Lin Jing and the Queen Mother of Kong were old acquaintances. Although they hadn't seen each other for many years, they were both political figures.

Lin Jing did show great kindness to Queen Mother Kong. When talking about Bianzhou, Lin Jing said, "My father died in Bianzhou. Back then, Emperor De had been suspicious of the Lin family because of his aunt. My elder brother went back to his hometown to keep his filial piety. General Guan has been stationed all the time. In fact, Emperor De really thinks too much."

"Back then, Ajing, your name was given by Emperor De, do you know?"

"I heard from my aunt that when Emperor De heard that General Guan had won victory in Bianzhou, he thought of the peace of the world, so he chose the word Jing for you."

"It can be seen that Emperor De's vision is extremely accurate." Lin Jing said calmly, "For most of my life, what I have done will make the world peaceful. The Queen Mother may think that if there is no war, life will be peaceful, and the world will be peaceful. Peaceful. In the past, I also had such shallow knowledge. When my aunt passed away, I saw Emperor De pretending to mourn in front of my aunt's tomb. At that time, I wanted to stab him to death. Later, he finally fell I ended up in an unprecedented situation, and I also died. Our family together supported Chen Qibao, and then sister Xia had an accident. Even if I killed the Duke of Xiangyang, it would be difficult to solve the hatred in my heart. I knew at that time that we Helping the wrong person. Chen Qibao's selfishness, narrow-mindedness, and superficiality are not inferior to Emperor De. To say that he is better than Emperor De, one has to say that his position as emperor did not come from a righteous path, and he is better at pretending than Emperor De. At that time, he was reluctant to dispose of Duke Xiangyang for a long time, and sat and watched Duke Xiangyang harm Sister Xia, but it was because he wanted to use the hand of the court to get rid of Duke Xiangyang! Think about it, the queen mother, such as aunt, me, and sister Ruxia, our identities , birth, which one is the difference? However, with our status, it is so difficult to obtain justice, let alone ordinary people?"

"The empress dowager lives in the deep palace, so how do you know what kind of world is like outside. The lives of the common people are as cheap as ants, and they may disappear without a trace. I will never leave the capital. In this world, there is no place where it is easier to get rich than the capital. However, I will never be with Emperor De and such a foolish king as Chen Qibao. The name Emperor De gave me is indeed very accurate , The next world of peace and tranquility will be created by me."

Lin Jing asked Empress Dowager Kong to write an edict in hand, stamped the seal on it, and left the palace.

Lin Jing's ruthlessness and determination made all the generals outside the pass dare not be unruly.

After all, those who are well-informed know that Lin Jinggang cremated his elder brother.At this time, no one is in a good mood.

Mrs. Zhang came very quickly, Lin Jing did not hide Mrs. Zhang's apprentice Xiaosi, from Jinan Mansion to Beijing City, Mrs. Zhang, a woman, hurried over in two days.Mrs. Zhang was naturally grieved when her younger brother passed away. However, Chen Erqing also quietly told Mrs. Zhang about Lin Yi's suicide. Chen Erqing persuaded, "Eldest sister, alas, on this battlefield, swords and guns have no eyes. Jiangnan, even General Lin, was also forced to jump into the river by him. Now that Duke Lin is dead, he has paid for his life. I don’t think General Lin’s situation is very good.”

Mrs. Zhang has had many years of hardships, and she is a leader, so it is not unreasonable. She wiped away her tears, "Where is Ah Jing, I will go and see him."

Chen Erqing took Mrs. Zhang to the Lin Mansion.

Lin Jing was reviewing the official documents, and when his attendants reported that Mrs. Zhang had arrived, she stood up to greet her. Mrs. Zhang felt distressed when she saw Lin Jing. Lin Jing was originally thin, but now he is almost out of shape, his face is even more pale, and the There is no trace of blood.Mrs. Zhang became anxious when she saw it, and held Lin Jing's arm, "Ah Jing, why are you suffering so much!"

"It's just that I'm a little tired these two days, so I'll take a rest." Lin Jing asked Mrs. Zhang to sit down, and said, "My sister came just in time, and the general is away, so there must be someone in Beijing to preside over the affairs. Jinan will explain it? "

Mrs. Zhang nodded, "I have given the general affairs to Jiang Jiu, and General Xu will assist him."

Lin Jing nodded slightly, "The general is not here, so I still need my sister to sit in charge of the affairs of the capital. In addition, His Majesty the Emperor died, and there must be a charter in the court. Now there is a lot of quarrel. Er Qing and the others are all a group of generals, with civil servants It's not from the same way. I made up my mind, it's not suitable. It's just that my sister is here, and I will go to court tomorrow morning, and I will ask the people in the court to calm down first."

Mrs. Zhang said, "You can tell me what to do. However, this matter is not urgent. I heard that there are imperial physicians in Jingzhong Imperial Hospital, and they are all extremely skilled in medicine. First, please invite two of them to come over and give you a diagnosis." .”

"I'm taking the medicine from Tai Hospital now." Lin Jing waved his hand and said to Mrs. Zhang, "Right now, there is nothing more important than Jiangshan!"

Although Mrs. Zhang is female, she is Tu Xiaosan's older sister. Her arrival has indeed brought great stability to the capital.Then there is Lin Jing to guide the guards, Mrs. Zhang, no, Tu Xiaohua directly controls the power in Beijing.

Tu Xiaohua didn't know that Xiao Niuzi was locked up by Lin Jing until the next afternoon. Tu Xiaohua thought about Lin Jing's current situation, and didn't want to annoy Lin Jing, so she met Xiao Niuzi in person.Hearing Xiao Niuzi say that Lin Jing stopped the news about sending him to Yanmen Pass, he asked Lin Jing himself.Lin Jingdao, "Once Chen Qibao dies in Beijing, the throne will change hands. Guan Tingyu is a great general, and the Bianzhou army is one of the best elites in the dynasty. Let Guan Tingyu lead the Bianzhou army to surrender the general. If the general finds out about Xiaosi, he must rush back to the capital. Xiaosi is dead, Guan Tingyu is still alive, and at any time, the living are always more important. Waiting for Bianzhou to return to his heart, The general will naturally rush back to the capital, and I have asked the Queen Mother Kong to write a handwritten letter and send it to the general. When he returns to Beijing, he will naturally know about Xiaosi."

Tu Xiaohua was silent for a while, but said to Lin Jing, "I know about this, and I agree to do so."

A look of emotion flashed in Lin Jing's eyes, Tu Xiaohua's meaning was very clear, if Tu Xiaosan was unhappy in the future, Tu Xiaohua would share the matter.

There in Bianzhou.

Guan Xiaoer personally persuaded him, and later there was a handwritten letter from the Empress Dowager Kong, Guan Tingyu knew about Chen Qibao's death, so he returned to his disciple Xiaosan.

Tu Xiaosan rejoiced, personally helped Guan Tingyu up, and asked Guan Tingyu to return to the capital together, to give Chen Qibao a funeral.

When Tu Xiaosan returned to Beijing, he first went to Chen Qibao's Mausoleum to express his condolences, and then went to the Palace of Mercy to pay his respects. The Empress Dowager Kong, who was very knowledgeable about current affairs, comforted him with warm words and gave Tu Xiaosan a generous gift.Then, Tu Xiaosan didn't stay in the palace much, he hadn't seen Lin Jing for a long time, and he was very worried.

After leaving the palace, Tu Xiaosan asked his sister, "Why didn't you see Ah Jing?" When he returned to Beijing today, all the soldiers went out of the city to greet him, but Lin Jing was not seen.

Tu Xiaohua said, "I have something to tell you."

"What's the matter? Did something happen to Ah Jing?" Tu Xiaosan hadn't been separated from Lin Jing for many years, so he was a little worried.

"Brother, something happened to Xiaosi." Tu Xiaohua said the matter directly, "Little Si was shot by an arrow and passed away."

Tu Xiaohua left home when she was young, and she has a deeper affection for Tu Xiaosan, a compatriot with a mother.

But Tu Xiaosan is different, he has watched Tu Xiaosi grow up since he was young.No matter how hard the days were for the two brothers, he always took this younger brother with him.Tu Xiaosan treated Tu Xiaosi just like Lin Yi treated Lin Jing. At that time, Tu Xiaosan's eyes were red and his voice was cold, "Where is Xiao Si?"

Tu Xiaohua took him to see Xiao Si, and Tu Xiaosan asked him how Tu Xiao Si died.I heard that it was Lin Yi who was hurt, and I hated Lin Yi even more to death!As a result, after inquiring, Lin Yi had committed suicide.Tu Xiaosan was angry, "Xiao Si had an accident, how dare you hide it from me!"

Chen Erqing, Jia Yuan and the others were too frightened to speak, so Tu Xiaohua ordered them to go down and explain the matter to Tu Xiaosan in person.Tu Xiaosan's face was heavy, he didn't want to get angry with his sister, he just fainted with anger, and he also knew that his sister was in Jinan first, and it was not his sister's idea to hide the matter from him!Tu Xiaosan has never been so angry in his life, when Tu Xiaosan asked Xiao Niuzi, especially when Xiao Niuzi said that Lin Jing had hidden Lin Yi's wife and children for a long time, he was so angry that he flipped the table!

When Tu Xiaosan arrived at Lin's house, he originally wanted to question Lin Jing, who did he regard him as!In the end, Tu Xiaosan rushed away angrily, and he didn't even let out a fart. The main reason was that Lin Jing's health was very bad.

Lin Jing was just lying on the bed, his hair was black, his face was as white as a piece of jade, a piece of ice, almost transparent enough to see the slightly blue blood vessels under the skin, his breathing was weak, if he hadn't been close to Lin Jing, There is no sound at all.

Seeing Lin Jing's illness here, Tu Xiaohua was also very sad, Tu Xiaosan couldn't help holding Lin Jing's hand, it was so thin.Tu Xiaosan didn't stay long, and went out to ask the imperial physician about Lin Jing's situation. The imperial physician said, "The patient is suffering from physical deficits, and because of his heartache and overwork, he presumably used some tonic medicines. However, there are many tonic medicines. It is a short-term replenishment of vitality, and now that the effect of the medicine wears off, the body will suffer a lot. The current situation is really not good."

Tu Xiaosan asked, "When will it be better?"

How dare this imperial doctor say that, what's more, with Lin Jing like this, the imperial physician wants to make a critical illness notification.Tu Xiao San Yin said, "Ah Jing has a good or bad idea, you all will be buried with him!"

Tu Xiaosan hated Lin Jing to the bottom of his heart, and he was also very angry with Lin Jing, but Lin Jing was like this, and Tu Xiaosan was worried about him, so he had to temporarily live in the Duke's mansion.After Chen Qibao's funeral was over, Lin Jing didn't wake up. The apprentice Xiaosan was very angry with Lin Jing. Lin Jing kept a secret from him about Xiaosi, and Lin Jing sent Lin Yi's family away early. Who is he?Do you think he is the one who wants to spend the rest of his life together?

He wanted to get angry with Lin Jing, but Lin Jing was so ill that it was useless to threaten the imperial physician, and Tu Xiaosan was very afraid that Lin Jing would not be able to afford it.Tu Xiaosan knew that in a person's heart, there is always a breath to support him, and if the breath doesn't let go, he will be fine.Tu Xiaosan held Lin Jing's hand and said viciously, "If you don't wake up, I'll treat Lin Yi's ashes as if the wind blows up ashes! By the way, the little Niuzi has asked me for orders, and he wants to personally lead the troops to take Lin Yi's ashes away! When my wife and children are caught, tell me, what should I do with them?"

It has to be said that Tu Xiaosan's trick is more effective than the imperial physician's medicine.

Lin Jing frightened him, fearing that he would climb back after entering the Hall of Yama.
