Linzhi Gongzi [Red Mansion]

Chapter 45 Chapter 45

His Royal Highness King Zhao rushed into the palace, but Emperor Yongjia was not in the Hanliang Palace.He, Concubine Zhen and his favorite eleven princes are admiring flowers on Mount Penglai.Seeing Zhang Baoshou hurried in with small steps, he lowered his waist and said, "Your Majesty, His Royal Highness King Zhao has something urgent to see you."

Emperor Yongjia felt a little sleepy recently, and he was a little lazy, dragging his voice: "What's the matter, it's so urgent."

Zhen Guifei at the side smiled and acted virtuously, "Your Majesty, the business is important."

As he spoke, he pushed his son beside him.The eleventh prince had been taught by him a long time ago, and at this time he also expressed his position in a childlike voice: "Father, my son will also go. My son will be a talented prince and share his father's worries!"

These words are really pleasing, Emperor Yongjia laughed and touched the child's head, expressing his comfort.After dawdling for a while, he finally said: "Tell the third child to wait in the Cuibo Garden Pavilion ahead, I will go there now."

Zhang Baoshou got the order, took a few steps back and asked a little eunuch outside to invite King Zhao.

When Liang Yu arrived at Cuibo Garden, Emperor Yongjia hadn't arrived yet, so he waited patiently for another two cups of tea, and finally arrived today.He was not very happy to see Emperor Yongjia just now, so he asked directly: "What's the matter, so urgent?"

Liang Yu didn't speak, just handed over the note he got from Wen Yishu, "Father, please read this."

Emperor Yongjia opened the note suspiciously, but at the first glance, he was so angry that he overturned the tea bowl in front of him.

"How is this going!"

Furious is no longer enough to describe his feelings, looking at the rough paper in his hands, his eyes are almost bursting with fire.Liang Yu was still calm, and said, "Father, it's not suitable to talk deeply here, please stay away from the left and right."

Emperor Yongjia snorted heavily, and waved his attendants to go down. Seeing that they were walking slowly, he even cursed: "Get out!"

The crowd ran away in fright.

It is already a few years old now, with such an aura, the whole person can't stand upright if one is on top.Liang Yu helped him to sit down, looking out of the corner of his eyes, he seemed to have aged many years.

"Where did you get this thing?" Emperor Yongjia asked wearily.

Liang Yu didn't say who gave it to him, but said, "All teahouses and restaurants in Beijing are selling it."

"Teahouses..." Emperor Yongjia muttered with a sneer, stood up abruptly and pointed in some direction, "This group of people are presumptuous!"

Liang Yu calmly watched his father vent his anger. Seeing that Emperor Yongjia had completely calmed down, he continued: "Father, the most urgent thing to do is to change the exam questions."

Emperor Yongjia took a deep breath and said word by word: "It's only natural... Leaking the exam questions... This is the negligence of the Ministry of Rites! The minister of the Ministry of Rites! The servant! Chen Xie! Xie Zhai! Tell them to come to the palace immediately to see me! I have to ask them carefully, how did this question come out!"

"Father, calm down." Liang Yu stepped forward to help the crumbling Emperor Yongjia, and poured him another cup of tea.

Emperor Yongjia stroked his chest, drank a little water with Liang Yu's hand, and said weakly: "I remember, you said last time that Wen Li's son also went back to his ancestral home to take the exam. I'm afraid he will give you this question after he finds out." Yes."

Liang Yu tightened his mind slightly, but his face was indifferent, and he only nodded in agreement.

After Liang Yu talked about such a person with Emperor Yongjia last time, Emperor Yongjia cared for a while.At the end of Qiu Wei, Zhang Baoshou was asked to take his rank to see.I found out that it was just a barely-forgotten bottom class, so I stopped paying attention.Now it's time to remind him again.

"This child didn't do favoritism when he got the exam questions, but he directly asked you to come here, so it's a good one," Emperor Yongjia reluctantly boasted, "Wen Li's temperament is a bit upright, and the child he taught is also the same."

While speaking, Emperor Yongjia seemed to miss that courtier who was so successful in doing business and devoted himself to the public, and sighed slightly: "It's a pity that he left early. If he is still there, he will have a place in the Ministry of Households now."

If the other princes would have to echo the sentence: "Father is the emperor", I think Mr. Wen will die without regret.

Unfortunately, Liang Yu couldn't speak, so he just kept his mouth shut.

Emperor Yongjia never expected his third son to say any flattering flattery.This is the biggest difference between Liang Yu and the prince.The prince always knows how to make his father happy.As for the third child, as long as it is nonsense in his opinion, he will not say a word more.

"Father, in fact, I still have something to report."

"What is it, tell me," Emperor Yongjia felt that there was nothing worse than leaking the exam questions, and at this moment, he felt a bit broken.

Liang Yu didn't care whether his father was disheartened or not, so he explained the ins and outs of the matter of timber and stone in detail.

Emperor Yongjia frowned after listening, and reprimanded: "Why didn't you say it earlier!"

King Zhao shook his head, and said bluntly: "Now we can only find a illusory Eunuch Li, and there are no real witnesses. Reporting rashly is nothing but scaring the snake."

Emperor Yongjia realized that there were no secrets in the palace, so it could be said that what Liang Yu had said one moment would not be able to find anything the next.Now in this garden, only his father and son are safe.

"The exam questions were leaked or there were other thieves. But the news of the renovation of the palace was leaked out so quickly, I don't think it's easy," Liang Yu said implicitly, but he meant that there are thieves lurking around today.

Emperor Yongjia couldn't remember the day when he was talking about it, so he was listened to by interested people.At this time, he was extremely annoyed, and he just said indiscriminately: "If so, then Zhang Baoshou should be beheaded first."

"Eunuch Zhang has always followed Father, so he wouldn't do such a thing," Liang Yu retorted directly.

Emperor Yongjia snorted: "That's also his dereliction of duty!"

"Since that's the case, why doesn't Father give him a chance to make a contribution?"

Liang Yu also suggested, "The servants in the palace have their own rules, and as the chief eunuch, he also has ways."

"You mean he will try to find out the thieves in the palace?" Emperor Yongjia asked.

Liang Yu nodded in agreement.

"What about the group of thief merchants outside the city?"

"When I searched for clues, I found that the stone and wood transported by these villages were piled up in disorder, encroaching on the carriages and horses, and there was a danger of causing fire. Just ask the five soldiers and horses to deal with it in the name of patrolling the fire and clearing the road. good."

Emperor Yongjia found out that this son really thought of everything, step by step, he thought of the right person to do it.And he only needs to lead the overall situation and come up with the results.And the emperor's order came directly, so that people dare not fish in troubled waters, and they obeyed and violated.

"You have already figured it out," Emperor Yongjia sighed slightly, suddenly feeling that his thinking and brain power could not keep up with the young man in front of him.I could only nod along with him sentence by sentence and listen to his arrangements.He was a little unwilling, but what was more, he was infinitely exhausted when he was unable to do what he wanted.

Finally, Emperor Yongjia waved his hand, "Since you have already made a plan, then go ahead and do it."

Liang Yu saw his father's burnout and his evasive thoughts of not wanting to be a director, and raised his eyes and said, "Please cheer up, my father, and I still need my father to preside over the overall situation in Chunwei."

These words aroused Emperor Yongjia's spirit a little.That's right, the imperial examination takes the world's scholars.These people are disciples of the Son of Heaven, and they need to make their own decisions.No matter who it is, they are not qualified to dictate this matter.

Emperor Yongjia's face turned bloody, and he passed his hand to Liang Yu's, "Help me back, and ask all the officials from the Ministry of Rites, no matter how big or small, to come to see me in the Xuanzheng Palace!"

At this time, in the room of the old Madam Jia Shishi of the Rongguo Mansion.Her younger daughter-in-law was accompanying her to gossip about the family affairs.Halfway through Fang's speech, he heard a burst of laughter outside, and the little girl lifted half of the curtain and came in and said, "Baoyu is here."

"This demonic obstacle," the wife of the second room of Jia's house, Mrs. Wang, pinched a veil and asked Jia's mother, "But you didn't come to greet your ancestors in the morning? Go back and ask him to teach him a lesson!"

Aunt Xue next to her hurriedly answered: "Baoyu is a filial child, how could he forget this?"

With a kind face on her face, Jia Mu waved her hand and said, "That's right. Your sister said it well. It's because you thought too much. Baoyu came here early in the morning. Now I'm afraid she came back after going out."

As she said that, she hurriedly yelled for the sweetheart to come in quickly.

That Jia Baoyu took off his outer robe and only wore the Japanese satin embroidered arrow sleeves on the inside, then rushed in, lay down on the couch and called sweetly to his ancestors.Mother Jia caressed the back of his neck affectionately, "It's still cold, why did you take off your clothes?"

"It's warm here, not cold," Baoyu smiled and took Jia Mu's hand.

"It's early to go out today," Mother Jia put her arms around him, and Xu Xu read, "You should go less to those places outside, so you don't have to meet some people who are not good enough."

Jia Baoyu hurriedly said: "The others are fine, but this one is really not. He is not the same as those wooden fish heads I know before. He has a good character and appearance. If it is possible, I really want to ask my ancestors to meet. "

"It's strange, who wants you to take a high look?" While speaking, Wang Xifeng stepped in from outside with a crisp smile.

Jia Baoyu stood up, and pulled the second sister-in-law to the short pole beside him, "Second brother Lian also saw that man, if sister-in-law doesn't believe it, then go ask second brother Lian."

Wang Xifeng laughed and said, "Who is he going to see, how can he tell me? You can just say who it is."

Baoyu had no choice but to say, "His surname is Wen, and his two names are Yishu. Do you know, sister-in-law?"

Before Wang Xifeng could remember which one it was, Aunt Xue beside her laughed, "I know this person. After two days of hanging around with him, Pan'er even hung up her book bag and packed it with a gentleman."

The big and small daughters-in-law who said a word laughed, and Sister Feng joked, "Is this so unbelievable? Well, I'm going to ask your second brother to talk about it."

On the other hand, Mother Jia frowned slightly, and looked at Baoyu, "You said his... surname is Wen?"

"Yes," Baoyu nodded, "The old ancestor knew him?"

Jia Mu didn't answer, but asked, "Are you looking for someone at his house today?"

"Yes, I was going there and wanted to meet him by the way. It's a pity that I'm not at home, so I went back early."

"Then where is his home?" Mother Jia asked hurriedly.

Baoyu was a little puzzled, "What happened in Zhen'an Square?"

The Wang family next to him reacted slightly, and asked cautiously: "But someone we know?"

Mother Jia thought for a while, then sighed: "If it's in Zhen'an Square, you may really know my old relatives."
