At the end of autumn, news came from the palace that the concubine Xian had given birth to Lin'er for the royal family. The emperor was almost an octogenarian, and another prince was added.The emperor was overjoyed, and promoted the virtuous concubine to be a virtuous concubine, and was placed under the queen's seat alongside the concubine Rong who was promoted earlier.The entire Jia Mansion was beaming with joy, and the postings were generally scattered to famous families in Kyoto.

The Lin family was the first batch to receive the invitation. Jia Lian came to the door in person, and when he saw Lin Mingyu, he showed no signs of panic or resentment, as if he had never had any quarrel with Lin Mingyu.He was even more humble and flattering to Lin Hai, and pulled Lin Mingyu to ask some homework, how about it?Who are you studying with now?And so on, and then said: "...Now Baoyu is becoming more and more calm. The second master of our family specially invited an old man who has become an official to teach him his homework. The husband also said that he has made more and more benefits. Who is Ming brother studying with now? If there is no suitable one for the time being, it is better to come to our house and go in and out with Baoyu. It is good to have a companion. There is a saying that "three people walk together, there must be my teacher". Although I am stupid, I also feel that I have a companion when I study. Son, we are urging each other, and progress is faster. Uncle Lin, what do you think? The courtyard in the mansion is also ready-made, and the ancestors have already ordered it. Pick up the best guys and tidy it up, so that you can live comfortably. "

Jia Lian spoke attentively.The relationship between the Lin House and the Jia House has been estranged since Lin Mingyu's sister and brother moved out of the Jia House. Except for the large-scale communication that had to be left behind during the New Year, the two sides have less contact recently. The estrangement of the government and the intention to go further, suffering from the cold attitude of Lin's father and son, is also discouraged.

Now that Concubine Xian has just been promoted to a position, and the Jia family is rising, it is really strange to lower her posture to get close to her.Besides, Jia's actions this time are too high-profile in the capital, under the eyes of the emperor.

Lin Mingyu turned this suspicious thing around in her heart, and then she understood.

Lin Hai was more calm than him, and when Jia Lian's words fell, he refused with a smile: "Thanks to my mother-in-law for her kindness, I have already arranged Mingyu's homework, and I don't worry about his ninth brother. It's good to see it under the eyes, so it's inconvenient to pass through the house. Baoyu has been taught by the old Confucianism, and he will be successful in the future. I like it. I can't go to the house these few days, but I will definitely come on the day of the banquet, please don't be too busy, mother-in-law, and take care of yourself is the blessing of the younger generation."

As he spoke, he served tea.

Jia Lian had a lot to say, but it was hard to say it, so he posted the post and left with a smile.

All the attendants in the flower hall retreated, Lin Mingyu sat next to Lin Hai, thoughtful: "Father, what is Jia's plan here!"

Lin Hai stood up, looked north, with a sneer on his face, turned to look at Lin Mingyu, and said, "Tell me what you think first."

Lin Mingyu thought for a while, organized his speech for a while, and then said: "Although Jia's mansion is still the Duke's mansion, but the generation of the nobles has no influence in the capital. Uncle Dongfu, only the second uncle is in the Ministry of Industry, and it is also a position without real power. The Jia family looks like flowers and brocades, but in fact the foundation is already empty. The current glory is all because of the position of the concubine in the palace. Proud. Now that the concubine Xian has given birth, she has a solid foundation in the palace, and the Jia family has the confidence of a wealthy family because of this, so it makes sense to be so ecstatic and wish the world would know about it."

As Lin Mingyu spoke, his heart moved, and he continued: "As for the attitude towards our family. That is because of Dad's status. Dad is now helping the Holy Master to study books, and it has come to an end. There are rumors in the court that you are very likely to join the cabinet, or a Hall official, in short, he will be promoted. The Jia family has already seen the hope of revitalizing the Duke's mansion. At this time, a powerful in-law like you is their life-saving straw. Seeing that Jia's mansion is already burning with flames, it will make people think deeply..."

Lin Hai rubbed his long beard under his chin, and nodded in satisfaction: "You are right. The Jia family is so high-profile, I am afraid that the old lady has a lot of schemes. It is too late for others to get out of this muddy water. At this time, it is just You can't control yourself. When your mother was still there, the Duke's Mansion was already in decline. At that time, the old lady made wise decisions and took care of the old Duke's funeral. People can't underestimate it. Now, the Duke's Mansion is not as good as One generation, the old lady is also old..."

Lin Hai was quite moved, sighed, and a little water appeared in his eyes.

Lin Mingyu knew that he was thinking of his mother Jia Min.Although it was transmigrated, after transmigrating, he slowly recovered the memory of the original owner, and still had a little impression of Jia Min.In my memory, the relationship between Jia Min and Lin Hai is very good, the husband and wife are in harmony, although Lin Hai has a few concubines, they are all taken care of by Jia Min, and it is considered too much to have a rest in the concubine's room once a month.Because of this, Lin Hai's heirs are weak, and he has nothing but a pair of children left by Jia Min.

Thinking of this, Lin Mingyu suddenly remembered the secret compartment he found in Lin Hai's study when he first came to the capital, and those dusty letters inside. What is the relationship between father and King Changping?

The father and son were thinking about their own thoughts, and no one cared about Jia's intentions.

Autumn passed and winter came, and this year's winter was extremely cold. There was news from the palace that the Holy Body was slightly ill.As the emperor's confidant, Lin Hai was busy at both ends of the yamen and the palace, so he had less time to go back to the mansion.Fortunately, Lin Mingyu is a self-conscious person, she just studies behind closed doors and never sees outsiders.Song Wenning and others naturally sent in news about what happened outside.

The Holy Majesty is just getting older, and there are many things to do at the end of the year, and he occasionally feels cold, and after ten days of recuperation, he is almost healed.But a major event happened in the palace, and the entire officialdom was silent.

This winter is destined to be eventful.

King Yizhong's rebellion happened. After the winter solstice banquet, the Holy Majesty gave rewards to all the government offices, so they withdrew early, and King Yizhong entertained the royal family and ministers on his behalf.Satiated with wine and food, everyone dispersed, but when it happened to be ugly, the imperial guards suddenly broke into Prince Yizhong's mansion, and found the emperor's dragon robe and crown clothes on the mansion of King Yizhong. The People's Mansion, Dali Temple, and the Ministry of Punishment held a joint trial overnight.All the old and young people in the Yizhong Palace were taken down, and not a single mosquito escaped.The queen was placed under house arrest in the palace and was not allowed to deliver news.

All these things happened in an instant, and the people and officials in the capital all fell asleep. On the second day, everyone found out that the situation was wrong, and the confession for review had already been placed on the emperor's case.

The case was closed at lightning speed. King Yizhong was deprived of his title and placed under house arrest in the palace. The main people involved in the case died suddenly.After all, the Holy Majesty cared about the queen's face and the royal family's dignity, and did not announce the case to the world. To the outside world, he only said that King Yizhong was disrespectful in front of the imperial court, and he was introspecting in the mansion.In the court, people gradually impeached Yizhong Wangfu Zongrong's relatives and friends for corruption, bullying the weak with power, slaves bullying others, wantonly encroaching on land and other ten crimes.

Before the end of the year, King Yizhong passed away quietly.Once prominent, one of the three kings of the dynasty was most likely to aspire to the great treasure. King Yizhong, who occupied the eldest son Dayi, was kicked out of the political stage in such a embarrassing manner. The Palace of Yizhong Prince became a taboo in the court. mention.

The matter of the previous dynasty spread to the inner court. The noble concubine had to restrain her aura cautiously to deal with the anger of the Holy Majesty. Jia's mansion also restrained its joy by three points because of this, but there was an endless stream of people walking in front of the mansion. in previous years.

Lin Fu was not affected much.Lin Ruhai was accompanying the emperor, and knew the whole story of this matter most clearly, only watching Jia's seemingly restrained but flamboyant behavior with cold eyes.Not only Jia's mansion, but also the whole of Kyoto, is calm and turbulent.

This year has passed in a hurry, and everyone is playing Taiping in Mifen to usher in the new year.Tu Lingguang went back to Kyoto to celebrate the festival, and there will be no new appointment until fifteen years later. On the third day of the Lunar New Year, the door of the Lin Mansion opened, and Tu Lingguang arrived in front of the Lin Mansion in a carriage.
