The Red Mansion's Dress to Become the King of Beijing

Xue scorpion handed over a post asking to see him, and when Shui Rong came back from court, he heard Wang Songhe report: there is a sense of urgency between the lines.

The cousins ​​Baochai and Xue Biao all know the importance, even if they take the line of water-soluble, they don't send letters and send people to show their presence from time to time.

Shui Rong guessed that there might be some problem with the transportation of coal ore, so he ordered Wang Songhe to come and take him directly to the study——Shui Rong has been working in the study outside for a while.Of course, Xue Biao in the inner study is not qualified to step in yet.

As the news spread, Shui Rong returned to work in the outer study in the afternoon, and Xue Biao had already arrived for a while.

As long as you are a "jianghu", observing words and demeanor is an essential skill.

Xue Biao took advantage of the effort of saluting and sitting down to drink tea, and looked at King Beijing several times: the prince is in a good mood.

Shui Rong simply decided at the moment they met: Xue Biao didn't come here today because of the Xue family's affairs.After exchanging pleasantries, he listened to Xue Biao's narration again... It really wasn't for the Xue family.

It is said that the water-soluble inner and outer study has been adjusted and turned into a familiar look.

The largest building located in the outer courtyard of the Wangfu is five large rooms connected from west to east.

The hall in the middle has become a large meeting room, where Shui Rong convenes all the staff members for a meeting; the two rooms on the west side are where the top-ranking staff members of the palace sit, and the separated Warehouse has been converted into a tea room, while the Baosha is for It is a resting place for those who come and go to inform visitors; as for the two offices on the east side, of course they are water-soluble offices.

Now Xue Biao is sitting in the second room on the east side, and the water dissolves.

He took a sip of tea, and his dry throat was relieved, but he didn't know if Wangfu Dilong was too hot, and there was a thin layer of sweat on his forehead.

The small icon commented: "It looks like he's here to make a small report, he's so nervous."

Shui Rong said: "That depends on the value of his small report this time. If it is reliable, he is welcome to come and give a small report at any time." He also laughed, "Both Baochai and Xue Biao are relatives. At the age of six, she is still a girl and a boy, so she has to shoulder the future of the whole family, no wonder she is much more sensible than Baoyu, who has both parents."

He treats Baoyu gently and patiently, treats Xue Biao... he treats Xue Biao even better than Baoyu.

This point is actually quite obvious.

Not to mention the small icon "living in his head", Wang Songhe, the life secretary, can see it, otherwise, how could he read the post and report it immediately after receiving it?

It must be known that the Xue family only has the name of an imperial merchant left, and there is not even an official in the family: the real rich but powerless.

And Xue Biao is currently... not to mention that the power of the Xue family is out of control, since his father is gone, the house he lives in has been marginalized.

However, Xue Biao didn't know what the prince was thinking at all, and he couldn't look directly at the prince's face, but with occasional scrutiny, he double-checked to see the gentle smile of the prince... probably not pretending.

He collected himself and recited the words that had been in his mind several times when he was at home.

"Back then, when Concubine Zhen entered Beijing to be elected, she happened to be with my family."

At that time, Xue Biao's father was still alive, and Xue's family not only had good friends with Jia Shiwang's three families, but also had some friendship with Zhen's family, so when they met halfway, they simply got together and went to Beijing together.

"The one who sent Concubine Zhen to Beijing was her second uncle." Xue Biao said carefully, "Since we are all relatives, we brothers and sisters are young and not that particular, so we stayed together all the way."

In this era, there is no high-speed train from Jinling to the capital, and it takes at least half a month to go out.Based on half a month's time, it is reasonable for Xue Biao and Xue Baoqin to recognize all the maids, nurses, and long-term guards who serve Concubine Zhen at once.

Thinking about coming to the Zhen family these years, only Concubine Zhen's father, Zhen Yingjia, has served as an official. Even if someone from the other Zhen clan has become an official, they are all first-class officials.

With such a family background, it is the limit to give the eldest daughter who enters the palace a veteran who specializes in "dirty work".

Don't forget that Jia Daihua and Jia Daishan have been dead for ten years, and Ningrong and Rongfu are so miserable that they can't even pick up a dead man.

Xue Biao didn't pause, he wanted to tell all he had seen and heard in one breath, "... I saw that person coming from the house of the dead ~official~matchmaker~."

If he didn't know some "antecedent reasons", Xue Biao would not be so sensitive to bumping into a concubine Zhen's guard.

So Shui Rong asked him, "You heard that the ~official~matchmaker proposed marriage to my family on behalf of the Xining Palace?"

Xue Biao nodded honestly, "Go back to the prince, I know." Taking a peek at the prince, seeing that the prince was still smiling warmly, he shook his heart and continued to tell the truth, "Beijing...not too blind and not too deaf We all know, after all, the ~official ~ media have been in and out of Cheng Engong's mansion. Although my family only does a small business, I also have a list of 'not to offend' in my hand," Xue Biao smiled shyly, "Every big man is not bad. , Even the dog legs have been recorded a lot... It is worth the money."

Water soluble laugh.

If the father or brother of the queen of this dynasty has no title, he will be granted the title of Duke Cheng'en.Duke Cheng'en's mansion is not the queen's natal family.

Xue Biao was obviously encouraged by Shui Rong's laughter, "Concubine Zhen was originally pregnant, but was conceived by the eldest princess... Anyway, this story has been widely spread outside the palace."

Shui Rong said: "It's true, but it's hard for me to say if it was an accident or not. You should know that the Eldest Princess is always His Majesty's beloved daughter, and His Majesty has not come out to refute the rumors, so it can be seen that the people involved are unusual." Shui Rong continued, "Anyway, we I know, the Empress is not happy, and Concubine Wu Gui will be happy as soon as she is."

Xue scorpion is also transparent, "Yes. I understand."

He made up his mind: deliver a letter to General Wu's mansion as soon as he leaves the palace gate!

After Xue Biao resigned, Shui Rong leaned on the rocking chair and thought: Jia Yuanchun entered the palace as a female historian, and was transferred to the East Palace after getting favored by the empress to serve the prince at that time. It has been favored...for a long time.

But at that time, she was favored by Chengchong, and she was still a female official in terms of status. She could be understood as the prince's secretary in a simple~rough~brutal~ way, not just a concubine who served the prince's daily life and gave him sleep at night.

Comparing the treatment of Concubine Zhen, one can see the reason why the emperor is still willing to give Yuanchun a great deal of respect even though the emperor is very afraid of the nobles who have been passed down for several generations but are still powerful.

Anyway, unlike what most people think, the emperor favored Yuan Chun because of Yuan Chun's grandfather Rong Guo Gong.

As for Concubine Zhen, she went straight to the draft when she came to Beijing.

It was also chosen by the queen, and pointed to the prince at that time, and now the emperor, but Concubine Zhen has been a first-class concubine from beginning to end. be early.

In addition, don't underestimate the title of "Prince Liangyuan".Most of the women who serve the prince, even if they come from good backgrounds, are rarely able to get a professional title at the beginning of their employment.

All in all, even Concubine Zhen was not a "thing" in the emperor's heart that would be over after sleeping and not caring about life or death.Moreover, Concubine Zhen hated the eldest princess and the queen because of the miscarriage of her first child. This time she is pregnant again, and she will not vent her anger for the lost child, but to protect the one in her belly, and will do it with the queen sincerely. Have a game.

And... Shui Rong thinks that Concubine Zhen's fighting power is quite good, thinking of this, he focuses his attention on Xiao Icon.

The little icon really lived up to his expectations, "Tear it up as much as you want. Concubine Zhen tore up the queen with her hands, is it appropriate for Concubine Wu to just watch the fun? The eldest princess is ~buy~ fierce~ I want to kill you, master!"

Shui Rong smiled and said: "No, I haven't forgotten about it."

Just a few days of confinement before being pulled down?Well, he has nothing to do with the eldest princess, and it is also very difficult to deal with the ninth prince who is helping his sister, but he can continue to cut down the empress's mother's family Cheng'en Gongfu.

Having said that, there is very little room for the queen's natal brothers to move their official positions, especially when the emperor has tacitly allowed General Wu to "swallow" a brother led by the queen, but he can let the Cheng'en government go bankrupt again ah.

"The same is true of Duke Xining's little concubine. She was obviously not happy, and she still pretended to obey the orders of the queen's sister-in-law. Afterwards, Duke Xining asked the emperor for an explanation, but the position of the eldest princess in the emperor's heart was lowered again and again. "

Shui Rong murmured his thoughts while pondering, at this time, apart from a few servants and guards on duty in the outer study, only Wang Songhe, the life secretary who had to follow wherever the prince went to work, was there.

The guards on duty will not feel so good about themselves that the prince is asking their opinions, so at this time only Wang Songhe responded, and he could only respond, "Duke Xining is in Jiayuguan... he has been very healthy. He may be worried about General Wu If the hands are longer, his territory will not be guaranteed, so although he doesn't want to see the Cheng'en government, he doesn't want the Cheng'en government to completely fall."

Shui Rong nodded, but said to the small icon, "The empress is always suppressed by Concubine Wu Gui. After so many years, she has been distorted? I feel that she was quite calm in the first place. Maybe the eldest princess is always bullied when she sees her mother. Only then will you act recklessly. By the way, can you judge the queen's mental state?"

A small icon flashes a line of barrage, "Yes, but you need to get in close contact..."

"Is it the kind of close contact I understand?"

"Almost..." The small icon swiped the face-covering emoji that melted half of the field of vision.

Shui Rong said decisively: "Forget it." Turning his head, he said to Wang Songhe again, "No matter what, the queen still has two sons. The ninth prince seems a little reckless, but the fourth prince seems to be good. After all, the one who can finally sit in that seat The prince is very tolerant."

Wang Songhe also said: "The princes haven't gotten married yet, so naturally they haven't participated in politics, no matter how much Concubine Wu Guifei wants to make a fuss, she won't be able to make any flowers."

"The emperor doesn't want his family to be the only one." Shui Rong said, "Let's deduct more benefits, and it won't waste my fear."

Wang Songhe secretly said: Your lord...have you ever been afraid?Back in the big tent in the paddock, you alone look normal, and the guards behind you all turn pale.

Shui Rong could tell at a glance what Wang Songhe was thinking about, and thought to himself: I was sweating from fright at the time, okay?Without the insurance that my deity bought me, I should have a funeral now!

Of course, there is no way to say this, so he said lightly, "See if we can transfer Bao Linghou to Shanhaiguan."

Bowling Hou Shi Nai is Xiangyun's second uncle.

The friendship between Beijing Palace and historians is good in all aspects.Thinking about the olive branch he handed to General Wu, if he accepts it, he will probably be willing to operate Shi Nai's northeast gate of the capital.

Shi Nai and Shi Ding brothers have been honest for so many years, with a look of pure loyalty and patriotism, and they don't particularly fall for any one family.

For General Wu, Shanhaiguan is better to give it to someone who is impartial and seems to have a heart for the emperor than to let the opponent get it.

In this era, Shanhaiguan is also very important, but because outside the pass is the fiefdom of the King of Jingjing, with this prince standing in front of it, there is little to worry about foreign invasion. In terms of strategic position, it cannot be compared with Jiayuguan and Yanmenguan.

Shanhaiguan can arrange for his own people. When Shui Rong has to leave the capital, he can use the secret road in Biezhuang to bypass several key guard posts in Daying on the outskirts of Beijing. The ship on Qinhuangdao crossed the Bohai Bay and landed in Dalian opposite Qinhuangdao...

Shui Rong rubbed his chin: The first task now is how to deceive the emperor, making the emperor think that Shi Nai and Shi Ding are really pure ministers.

The author has something to say: This is for the 13th yesterday, and the debt will be paid off at the weekend...
