Queen of the Lin family in the Red Chamber

When he was called to the palace on the first day of the first lunar month, no matter how slow his reaction was, he knew that something had happened, and it had to be a big deal.Even though the vigil lasted thirty nights and did not sleep, all of them are in high spirits now, but looking around, it seems that everyone has the same expression on their faces.Looking up to the stage, there were many people standing shadowy behind the dragon chair, their voices were deliberately lowered, it sounded like they were arguing, and they spoke very fast.

Many ministers had a guess in their minds that there was only one person who could be a major event in the palace, and they were all called here, the emperor!

Sure enough, the Empress Dowager came out first from behind the dragon chair. She glanced around the courtiers and said, "The Qing prince forced the palace, and the emperor was killed!" This is the result of their discussion, and of course it is the truth.As for the death of the first emperor, the son and his mother murdered Lao Tzu, it would be a big scandal for anyone else, and it would be a big shock to shake the foundation of the country if it was put on the emperor.

All the ministers were in an uproar, and the voices in the hall were one after another, causing headaches for the noisy people!Lin Ruhai also pretended to join in, as if he didn't know anything about it.It has to be said that he will start planning for the future of the Lin family after Kant ascends the throne from now on.

Lin Ruhai can stand up and preside over the overall situation. He is not as good as Prince Qing except for his military strength, but Lin Ruhai is confident that he can win over at least one-third of the civil servants.But if he stood up now to turn the tide and elect Kant as emperor, firstly, he would expose the huge "Lin Family Army" behind him, and secondly, what would Kant, who has become emperor afterwards, think?

He would think that it was Lin Ruhai who supported him to the position of God back then, and if he took it a step further, he would feel that his strength back then was enough, and he would feel that Lin Ruhai did it on purpose.

There are even some malicious courtiers who already exist and will appear in the future, who will deliberately guide the emperor to think in this way.

At Kant's age, he was at the age when he had the strongest self-awareness. He wanted to be the master of everything, and with his status as emperor, he would not tolerate anyone being on top of him.

Maybe he could stand still for a while, but thinking about Kant's age, let alone four or fifty years of good life, Lin Ruhai felt that it was not worth it if he made a head or two, and then ushered in the emperor's lifelong vengeance.If Lin Ruhai can be ten years younger, Lin Ping ten years older, or have more descendants in the Lin family, Lin Ruhai thinks he can still fight, especially if there is a real daughter in the palace who will soon be the queen. .

However, the gap between the reality and the ideal is too great, so from the day when Kant revealed that he was fighting for the throne, Lin Ruhai retreated to the position of a teacher, guiding Kant's ability to call the shots without any trace.

Especially in times of chaos, you must dare to speak out, because saying something at this time will leave a deeper impression on you than if you said it all day.

From Lin Ruhai's point of view, just think about the military generals who founded the country. Of course, the civil servants have no soldiers and can cause limited disturbances. Therefore, most of them are better than generals who died in miserable appearances and died with guilt.But as long as you think about it this way, you will know that the merits of support are not as glorious as imagined.

Rather than doing this, it would be better to let Kant speak out by himself. The euphemistic name is that the purple energy on his body calmed down the officials, making people have to believe.

Sure enough, when the audience's voice subsided a little, Kant stood up and said loudly: "I have ordered General Zhao and the nine admirals to hunt down. Everyone, please be calm and don't be impatient."

The court was quiet, and the Empress Dowager felt a little relieved, and said: "The country cannot live without a king, the emperor is defeated by the Qing prince..."

"Wait!"

Prince Qing!Kant narrowed his eyes, "How dare you come out!"

Prince Qing has already changed his clothes, dressed up as a servant, and seems to have mixed in with a certain adult.

Holding the jade seal in one hand and the imperial decree in the other, he stepped forward step by step. Under his pressure, the courtiers in front made way for him to come out.

However, Prince Qing did not go too deep into the hall, he just reached a place where people on the stage could easily hear him speak.

"The emperor was killed by you!" The Qing prince's voice was like a bell, and he shook the imperial decree in his hand and said: "The emperor was killed by you, so he specially sent someone to release this king, and sent the imperial decree and jade seal to this king." , is to let this king avenge him!"

All eyes were on Prince Qing. At this moment, a man dressed as an eunuch quietly walked up to Lin Ruhai and said something. Lin Ruhai nodded slightly to the emperor on the stage.

The several gates out of the capital have been controlled by the admirals of the Nine Gates, and General Zhao has captured Prince Qing's men and horses outside Beijing.

Kant received Lin Ruhai's signal, stepped forward and said: "The emperor was stabbed to death by you, and the scars on his body are still there. Hundreds of guards in the palace can testify, and the subordinates you brought into the palace, although they have become a corpse now. There is a dead body. There are all personal and material evidence, so you are not allowed to quibble. Don’t you think you can fool everyone by snatching the jade seal!"

Prince Qing shook his head, "I knew you would say that." As he spoke, he turned his head and swept over the courtiers in the hall one by one. When his gaze met Lin Ruhai, the corners of Prince Qing's mouth turned up slightly, and he made a mouth shape. , "Gao Yi."

Lin Ruhai was shocked, where did he know the name of this person!

Prince Qing's gaze didn't stop on Lin Ruhai, and then fell on Kant.After a while, he suddenly pulled out a short dagger from the jade buckle on his waist.

Kant sneered, "There are so many guards in the palace, who do you think you can fight against?"

As Kant's words fell, dozens of guards flashed out behind the huge pillars in the hall that could allow five people to hug each other.

"I came in today, and I didn't plan to get out alive!" Prince Qing raised his voice, "My life...is enough!" After speaking, he turned his arm, and the sharp dagger stabbed into his chest fiercely. As soon as it came out, blood gushed out, Prince Qing fell to the ground, and became a blood man in a moment.He twitched violently twice and then fell silent.

That's how he died?Or suicide?Not only the royal family members on stage, even Lin Ruhai who was only a few steps away from Prince Qing couldn't believe it.He was stunned for a moment, then drew the knife from the hand of the guard beside him, and touched the dead body of Prince Qing, but there was no reaction at all.

Still worried about this, Lin Ruhai pulled out the knife again, and carefully cut the knife on the back of his exposed hand. There was no blood or movement, and he was indeed dead.

Lin Ruhai gently picked up the blood-stained cloth bag, opened it, and found that it was indeed the missing jade seal.He held out the jade seal, held it high above his head, and stepped forward step by step until he knelt under the dragon chair.

Kant looked around for a week, and looked at the unwilling but helpless King of Nan'an County, as well as the brothers on his head, all lowered their heads one by one under his sight, even Ruile and Kang Yang They didn't show up, so they went back to the palace to recuperate under the pretext of having a headache.

Kant stepped forward and grabbed the jade seal, the empress dowager said: "The new emperor succeeds!"

The fourth emperor in two years, just wish he could last a little longer.

After all the ministers performed the big ceremony, Kant's title of emperor could be regarded as a real deal.Lin Ruhai pinched the imperial edict written in imitation of the Supreme Emperor's handwriting on his sleeve, thinking that this last backhand is unnecessary, and burned it when he went back.

But there is one more thing, that is Gao Yi, how did Prince Qing know this person, or... Gao Yi is Prince Qing's man at all!

But... Lin Ruhai suppressed the doubts in his heart, no matter what, he would never have any contact with Prince Qing's people again.

At the same time, in Prince Qing's mansion, Prince Qing's confidant was kneeling in front of Princess Qing who had died. "Princess, the master is dead. In order to save you from serious crimes in the future, the master has no choice but to do this."

Up and down in the palace of the Qing Dynasty, the main concubine, side concubine and concubines, sons and daughters-in-law, including unmarried daughters, were all wiped around their necks.

The few people who did it checked it again, and after confirming that it was correct, they gathered in the main hall and bowed in the direction of the palace from afar.

"Don't worry, my lord, everything has been settled, and we will go down to accompany my lord."

"There is no one left in the family."

"Presumably without the prince's family, the emperor will soon be free to take care of other families."

"Even if Prince Kang is not suspicious, he will be suspicious when he becomes the emperor."

"Without the restraint of the prince, can the emperor treat the Lin family well after he ascends the throne?"

"We can't see it."

Several people raised their knives and died in the same way as Prince Qing.

Looking back at the Qianqing Palace, Kant sat on the dragon chair and looked at the courtiers kneeling on the ground, feeling agitated for a while.After a moment of silence, his voice sounded again, with suppressed excitement.

"All the gentlemen are flat."
