[Comprehensive classics] I build a dynasty in the book
Chapter 44 Dream of the Red Chamber 1 scene (44)
After the assassination incident, Lin Yuzhou and the others sailed on the canal for half a month without wind and waves, and now they have crossed the boundary of the Jianghuai River and entered the Jiangnan waterway.
The life on the boat is very boring. Fortunately, this is a river course, and you can see towns along the way. When the boat is replenishing, you can go to the shore to release the wind. If you take the sea route, it will be even more frustrating. Except for water, it is still water. The wind and waves are also particularly strong.
The life on the ship these days has made everyone familiar with each other. Fu Jue and Liu Ju formed a Go duo, and they would play a game together if they had nothing to do. Wang Luan was a quiet person, staying in his room all day reading books and paintings. Tang Chengzu He has a straightforward temper, fights with the guards of the imperial army, and likes to tease Lin Cong. As for Li Suqing, he is still dizzy.
Since Ji Geng saw Lin Yuzhou's inhuman strength, he has completely depended on him. If he hadn't been afraid of Ji Shengyan, he would have wanted to eat and sleep with Lin Yuzhou.
Lin Yuzhou made Peiyuan Dan with the medicinal materials collected by Ji Geng. The function of this thing is to cleanse the essence and cut the marrow, and by the way, it can increase the skill for ten years.
Ji Geng's bones are mediocre, and he can't be cured without taking medicine, and his internal strength needs to be practiced for many years. He has only started to practice now. Without opportunities, he will never become a martial arts master in this life.
Lin Yuzhou gave him this opportunity, but after eating Peiyuan Pill, he would have to suffer a little bit, which was fine, he just had to experience a burning pain from the inside out.
Ji Geng was impatient, and Lin Yuzhou suggested that he eat it after he arrived in Minzhou, but he couldn't wait at all, so he left with Peiyuan Pill.Lin Yuzhou had no choice but to ask Ruan Mingyi to follow and watch. After all, Ruan Mingyi had eaten this stuff before and knew how powerful it was.
After Ji Geng left, Lin Cong shivered. He had seen the catkins before and knew the horror of the pills.
"Now do you know that I am kind to you?" Lin Yuzhou raised his eyebrows and looked at Lin Cong: "If you are told to practice martial arts, you will not listen, and if you are lazy next time, I will force you to take medicine."
"I'm a book boy and not a guard, so I just need to be a bit skilled so that I don't hold back my elder brother." Lin Cong stuck out his tongue and turned to run outside, "I'll go to the kitchen to see what I'm having for lunch!"
Oh, you deserve it!Lin Yuzhou sighed, and found a fake follower, he really didn't deserve to be Long Aotian.
"Little fat man is lucky to have a master like you." Liu Jun and Fu Jue walked out of the room. After they finished playing a game, they went out to get some air. He shook his wrist and said, "What are you doing?" Raise him as a younger brother."
Lin Yuzhou smiled. In a sense, Lin Cong could be considered his younger brother. After all, Lin Cong's father was an old servant of the Lin family, so it was not too much for him to call Lin Boyi.
Come on, some people are born with reincarnation, and being a servant is luckier than others. Liu Ju sighed secretly, and after feeling emotional, he asked Lin Yuzhou: "Yuzhou, can I take that pill?"
It's a man, who doesn't want to be able to fly into the sky and escape like the knights in the drama? "Kill a man in ten steps, never stay behind for a thousand miles" is a man's romance, and Liu Ju is no exception.
Lin Yuzhou scratched his nose, and found that Fu Jue, who was standing behind Liu Ju, also showed yearning. It seems that everyone's yearning for martial arts does not distinguish between ancient and modern times, and regardless of the world.
If it is said that Ji Geng's root bones are not good, then Liu Ju is said to have no root bones. Giving him Peiyuan Pill has no other use except to make his body better. His dantian is like a funnel. Can't hold back the internal strength.
In order to dispel his thoughts, Lin Yuzhou pointed to the direction where Ji Geng left and said, "Go and see the Tenth Prince first, estimate your own tolerance, and then decide whether to eat or not."
Following the direction pointed by Lin Yuzhou, Liu Ju hurried away.
Fu Jue didn't follow, he walked up to Lin Yuzhou.
Lin Yuzhou asked, "Aren't you going to take a look?"
Fu Jue shook his head: "I decided to try it, it's the same whether I look at it or not."
Fu Jue has a good foundation, he is considered a good seed for martial arts, coupled with his temperament, Lin Yuzhou has a hunch that he may become the world's first martial arts master.
Thinking of this, a thought flashed in Lin Yuzhou's mind. He turned and stared at Fu Jue, and asked, "Uncle Fu has always wanted you to enter politics. You don't want to go back to Beijing because you want to go with me to northern Xinjiang?" If Fu Jue After practicing martial arts and joining the army, the Fu family must not go crazy?
Fu Jue was silent.
Lin Yuzhou felt bad, he might be put together by his friends.
"If Erbang Chuanlu abandons his pen and joins the army, how do you ask me to explain to your family?" Lin Yuzhou rubbed his forehead, his face full of helplessness, "When did you come up with the idea?"
Fu Jue chuckled: "When I first heard about your plan, I had this plan. When we go to northern Xinjiang, I will give you a letter of divorce. You can just bring it back to the capital, and I won't embarrass you."
It’s hard to talk about it. Lin Yuzhou thought of the military reform plan he and Ji Shengyan drew up together. In the future, civilian officials will definitely enter the military management. The existence of "political commissars" is necessary, and the setting of "staff officers" is also necessary. Don’t underestimate it. The literati control the situation of the battle, and they are the professionals who deceive people.
Lin Yuzhou looked at Fu Jue for a while. This might be an opportunity. The reform of the military system is not something that can be accomplished overnight. A pilot project can also convince the public. Will not insist on objecting.
Although the idea is good, it is not perfect, Lin Yuzhou did not say it out, he still needs to discuss it with Ji Shengyan.
Fu Jue noticed the change in Lin Yuzhou's expression, but instead of asking, he changed the subject: "Aren't we staying in Jiangnan?"
Lin Yuzhou nodded: "After the boat arrives in Hangzhou City, we will continue to go south by land. Jiangnan is the battlefield of the four princes."
Fu Jue pondered for a while, and said, "The eldest prince has something to do with Jiangnan."
"You can see it too? The Peach Blossom Banquet incident caused the Third Prince and Concubine Chen to stumble. He probably thought that he could take the opportunity to suppress the Third Prince and win Jiangnan Salt Transport Group to take over his power."
A person who has not been valued for a long time is suddenly entrusted with a heavy responsibility, and he will always lose sight of the reality. Ji Rong is like this, his heart flutters, he thinks many things too simply, and he is too self-righteous.
"The mastermind of the assassination has been found out, but can we achieve what we want?" Fu Jue looked towards the river with his hands behind his back: "The emperor went to the south of the Yangtze River five times, and the Zhen family received them four times. Their positions in the emperor's heart are always different."
"Have you checked the account books of the Ministry of Accounts?" Lin Yuzhou glanced at Fu Jue, tapped his palms and said, "The national treasury is empty, and a considerable part of the money was borrowed by officials. In order to receive His Majesty, the Zhen family spent money in the Ministry of Accounts. Four large sums of silver have not been returned so far, so it is correct to think that it is the emperor’s money to receive the emperor.”
Fu Jue disagreed: "The money of the Ministry of Households belongs to the Ji Dynasty, if..."
Lin Yuzhou winked at Fu Jue to stop him from continuing. Shao Long's figure appeared in the corridor in front of them on the right.
"Let's go." Lin Yuzhou led Fu Jue towards the deck without waiting for Shao Long to come over.
After making sure there was no one around, Lin Yuzhou said, "The national treasury is empty, and the emperor's internal treasury is not rich. In fact, the Zhen family is very rich, and he just doesn't want to pay back the money."
Fu Jue glanced back at Shao Long's direction, saw that he had already returned to his room, and asked, "Your Highness the Crown Prince is not planning to rectify the household department and ask these officials to pay back the money?"
"The money must be repaid, but how to repay it still needs to be considered." Lin Yuzhou and Ji Shengyan discussed this issue. It is necessary to check all the accounts of the household department before they can formulate a feasible policy to force accounts to be solved.
Officials borrowed money from the Ministry of Households. In addition to Emperor Jialong allowing the Ministry of Households to open the door to show his benevolence and generosity, part of the reason was the salary system of the imperial court.The salaries of officials are too low. Many middle and low-level officials cannot support their families and have to borrow money. It is unrealistic for these poor officials to pay back the money immediately, and some of them will even be forced to take risks and become corrupt officials.
Fu Jue also thought of the complexity of asking for accounts. It is not an easy task to distinguish who really needs to borrow money to live, and who is greedy for selfishness, and requires a lot of investigation.
"Let's not talk about this. After the Jiangnan incident is over, most of the household affairs will be settled by Shen Ke." Lin Yuzhou took out a small bottle and handed it to Fu Jue: "Let's eat it when you arrive in Minzhou."
Fu Jue took the bottle and nodded, "Thank you."
After Lin Yuzhou separated from Fu Jue, he went back to his room. He took out the mirror that Ji Shengyan had given him, and used his spiritual power. The image of Shao Long appeared in the mirror. He sat at the table with a gloomy face and wrote a letter.
This mirror is not as good as a monitor, it can't adjust the focus and can't pull the picture in. Lin Yuzhou can't see what Shao Long wrote, but it doesn't affect much, no matter what he writes, he can't send it out.
Lin Yuzhou wiped the mirror with his left hand, Shao Long's image disappeared, and after a while, a handsome man in a four-claw python robe appeared on it.
Inside the Hall of Supreme Harmony, Ji Shengyan glanced at the void as if he felt something, he hooked the corner of his mouth, and turned his attention back to the main hall.
Ji Cong knelt in the center of the hall. Although he shouted grievances, he couldn't refute the evidence Feng Tang presented. He was not directly involved in the assassination, but both personal and physical evidence involved Zhen.
Emperor Jialong looked at Ji Cong quietly, he threw the memorial in his hand on the ground, and said coldly: "From now on, the third prince will be imprisoned in the prince's mansion. Without my will, he is not allowed to come out and no one is allowed to visit."
"Father!" Ji Cong jumped forward: "Father, I really don't know. There must be a misunderstanding. Father, please investigate clearly!"
Emperor Jialong turned his head and shouted: "Pull it down."
After Ji Cong was taken away, the hall was extremely quiet. Everyone knew that the Zhen family was the chief culprit in the assassination incident, and Concubine Chen had a lot to do with it, and her punishment was the most important thing.
The air was extremely dull, and after a while, Emperor Jialong suddenly asked, "Feng Tang, how are the First Prince and Fourth Prince?"
Feng Tang came out of the queue, held up the wat and replied: "Report to Your Majesty, the two princes are all well, and I have sent a navy to escort them south."
Emperor Jialong asked again: "Where are the others? Are there any casualties?"
Feng Tang replied: "No one was injured or injured, and the Tenth Prince went south with Lin Xiuzhuan, and he is fine."
Emperor Jialong was stunned for a moment, and then remembered that there was still a son on board. If this assassination was successful, he would lose three sons at once.
The three princes were buried in the belly of the fish at the same time, what would the world think of him?How will the history books record it?What does the Zhen family want to do?Emperor Jialong's eyes became dark and dangerous, he held the armrest of the dragon chair tightly, and his heart was full of anger.
