The Lonely Family in the Red Chamber

The Zhen family doesn't have the time to pay attention to the matters of the Xue family. Besides, life is impermanent. Although Xue Jian died a little too soon, he is not too young, and it is normal for him to be unable to survive a serious illness.

The Zhen family is currently struggling with the matter of the imperial envoy going south. The Zhen family is doing things in a public manner, and before relying on the relationship of the General Secretary, they don't know how to restrain themselves. How can they stand up to the investigation? It is obviously too late to cover up the evidence. At this moment, they can only win over Cui Jun. , or simply kill Cui Jun two ways.

Cui Jun is not a fool. Now that the Zhen family is dying, how could he tie himself to the sinking ship of the Zhen family? Without Cui Jun, the Holy One still has someone else who can use him, but he betrayed him. , the whole family will be implicated.Therefore, after the Zhen family sent people to lobby, Cui Jun directly detained them in the name of an imperial envoy, and said righteously that those who are cleared will be cleared by themselves. He will let a bad guy go, and he will definitely return Jiangnan to a bright future!

When the Zhen family heard about this, they couldn't help yelling, but in private they were ready for another move, which was to force the palace to rebel!

Mrs. Fengsheng overheard her sons discussing such things in private, and she couldn't help being terrified. No matter what she was, she was a girl. What's more, the reason why she was valued and even respected by Emperor Chengqing was entirely because of She really regarded Emperor Chengqing as her own. Although it seemed a little offensive, in her heart, Emperor Chengqing was no different from her own son. Now, her own child was going to rebel, and Mrs. Fengsheng was stunned.

She has been enjoying the honor these years and has seldom cared about outside affairs. The Zhen family just worships her as a mascot. If she wants to eat vegetarian food and chant the Buddha, the Zhen family raises hundreds of eminent monks for her, who take turns explaining the Dharma to her. Do all kinds of water and land temples; if she wants to cultivate merit and do good deeds, the Zhen family will take out such a small part of the property they have stolen and plundered, and they can light eternal lanterns that will last for a hundred years in all Taoist temples in Jinling, and enshrine them on the mountains. Dao Zang Buddhist scriptures; if she wants to entertain her grandchildren and enjoy family happiness, as long as Mrs. Fengsheng likes it, no matter whether it is the legitimate son or daughter of the family or the concubine's grandson, as long as she is willing, she can send her here as a kitten and puppy Keep it the same.

Mrs. Fengsheng herself is not willing to take care of outside affairs, but seeing her granddaughter being favored in the palace, her great-grandson becoming king again, her children and grandchildren are all promising, and the family business is prospering day by day, she is already satisfied, how could she know How did these things come about? Now she is excited and wants to worship the Buddha and recite the scriptures for a while, but who knows that there is a secret room behind the Buddha statue. She went to it for a while and heard such terrible news.

The old lady didn't show it at the time, but she followed her usual habit, recited the time-hour scriptures for a while, picked up a bowl of Buddhist rice, turned around and went out of the Buddhist hall like a normal person, and was surrounded by maids and women back to her room. Yangrongtang, and couldn't close his eyes all night, and suffered a stroke the next day.

The Zhen family was shocked. Mrs. Fengsheng was the amulet of the Zhen family. With her, Emperor Chengqing had to think of her affection and be lenient to the Zhen family. Now Mrs. Fengsheng has won the prize Feng, with crooked mouth and slanted eyes, not knowing about personnel affairs, the doctor came and said that he wanted them to prepare for the funeral.

The Zhen family was in a mess all of a sudden, but now they have made up their minds. Since no one can count on them, they should just do it. If it succeeds, the Zhen family is a hero. If it fails, it will not be bad. where it goes.

Jin Yiwei has been watching the movements of the Zhen family ever since they received the instructions from Emperor Chengqing, and recorded all the people who came and went from the Zhen family these days, and then discovered that the Zhen family sent a lot of people to rush around. After leaving the capital, he immediately reported the changes of the Zhen family.

Emperor Chengqing is very irritable these days. The news from Jin Yiwei told him that what kind of white-eyed wolf he has favored these years, all of them don't think about loyalty to the monarch and the country, they know how to use power for personal gain, collusion, bullying the good, and eliminating dissidents, what a mess The most important thing is that the Zhen family actually extended their claws into the army, whether it was the camp in the suburbs of Beijing, the soldiers and horses in the five cities, or even the imperial army. These are the guards of the capital to protect the safety of the emperor. They are almost all relying on them. For so many years, the prince has not been able to get in. What does the Zhen family want to do? Could it be that they want to rebel?

Emperor Chengqing was dizzy with anger, his hands were shaking, it took a long time to feel his eyes clearer, he gritted his teeth and said: "Continue to check for me, keep an eye on me, I want to see how brave they are!"

The Zhen family is naturally full of courage. Emperor Chengqing looked at the many generals the Zhen family had contacted, and there was already a dark tide raging in the camp on the outskirts of Beijing. Those who usurped the throne were wiped out, and some people came to abandon the dark and turn to the bright.

Wang Ziteng sent away the person who sent the letter from the Zhen family. He almost went crazy. The Zhen family must have taken the wrong medicine. Wang Ziteng has had some contacts with the Zhen family for so many years. Wang Ziteng thought it was more reliable to kill the East Palace and seek a reserve position, but the Zhen family rashly thought of leading troops to force the palace, but it was still such a delicate time.There should not be too many people impeaching the Zhen family in the court recently. Emperor Chengqing must have set his sights on the Zhen family. It can be said that the Zhen family is in the Ming Dynasty and Emperor Chengqing is in the dark. If it succeeds, it will be hell!

The more Wang Ziteng thought about it, the more something went wrong, and he couldn't care about anything else. There was a gamble in his nature, even though he wasn't the governor of the Beijing camp at the moment, he was just a deputy, so he gritted his teeth and found someone to arrange it. Pretending to go to Daying in the suburbs of Beijing in a carriage, in fact, he had already disguised himself, and instead of looking for his immediate superior, he hurried directly to the imperial city, and then asked for an audience outside the Daming Palace.

"Wang Ziteng?" Emperor Chengqing only had a little impression of Wang Ziteng just now. After all, Wang Ziteng's official position is not high, and he is not qualified to go to court. How could Emperor Chengqing remember such a small official? It was seen in the secret report that the members of the Zhen family helped Wang Ziteng into the camp in the suburbs of Beijing and helped him get promoted step by step. Now they are looking for the prince to spare him. He waved his hand and said, "Let him wait outside, let him in later!"

Wang Ziteng stood anxiously in the warm pavilion, and the servants standing aside with their hands down looked at each other and did not talk to him. Wang Ziteng was far from the one in the original book who had made his debut earlier. , a high-ranking, important minister in the heart of the emperor, after so many years, the original pride has long since been wiped away. At this moment, I just feel a cold sweat behind my back. I don't know how long it took before a servant came over. He stretched out his voice and said, "Wang Ziteng, deputy general of the Daying Camp in the suburbs of Xuanjing, has an audience!"

Only then did Wang Ziteng come back to his senses, and followed the servant into the imperial study step by step.

Wang Ziteng had never really met the saint before, and now he was nervous and didn't take a few steps, so he weighed the distance and kowtowed: "My prince Teng pays homage to the saint, and the saint is blessed and safe!"

"Free from courtesy!" Emperor Chengqing said lightly, "Didn't Wang Qing say that he has something important to report?"

Wang Ziteng stood up in trepidation, then stole a glance at Emperor Chengqing above him, and was startled.

Emperor Chengqing had put on a lot of weight these years, and he looked a little old, but he was wearing a black gold-woven uniform and a golden crown woven with gold silk on his head, and he had the majesty accumulated over the years of being an emperor. Wang Ziteng also met Tu Jingrui several times. Compared with Emperor Chengqing, Tu Jingrui was like a lamb that hadn't been weaned yet, which made Wang Ziteng even more determined. Determined, he bowed his head and said: "I do have something important to report. I just got the news that the Zhen family wants to plot rebellion! I don't dare to be self-reliant, so I have to rashly ask the Holy Majesty, and ask the Holy Majesty to investigate!"

Emperor Chengqing had expected it a long time ago, and now he listened to Wang Ziteng's words, and nodded lightly: "Oh, so that's the case, but Wang Qing has worked hard!"

Wang Ziteng's heart sank. It seemed that he was not the only one who made the whistleblower. The credit would be greatly discounted. He scolded the Zhen family in his heart for rebellion, but they didn't keep things secret. He let the emperor know before it even started. , if you can succeed, old sows can climb trees!Then he breathed a sigh of relief, he did not choose wrong, so he just said in panic: "I dare not, since the Holy One has already prepared, I can rest assured!"

Emperor Chengqing smiled slightly. He glanced at Wang Ziteng. Of course, the history of Wang Ziteng's fortune could not be hidden from Emperor Chengqing. Such a wonderful person with a dark heart and ruthless methods was placed in front of him. How could Emperor Chengqing There is a reason to let it go, so he smiled and said: "Wang Qing is loyal to the emperor and the country, but I have remembered it. On the Zhen family side, Wang Qing should make a difference first. If there is anything abnormal, Wang Qing knows what to do!"

This is to ask Wang Ziteng to be an undercover agent. Wang Ziteng also knows that this is inevitable, so he naturally agrees to it. You are young and promising, and I am still very optimistic about you!"

Wang Ziteng cheered up, took the guards sent by Emperor Chengqing for surveillance, and resigned, thinking about how to get more words from the Zhen family, there is no place to fight these days, promotion and fortune, Just look at this opportunity!Thinking of this, Wang Ziteng's heart surged.

After Prince Teng left, Emperor Chengqing's face turned livid, and he sneered, while Cao Anping remained silent, daring not to speak.

Then a childish voice came from outside: "Is the emperor's grandfather there?"

Emperor Chengqing's expression softened a little, and he said to Cao Anping: "The grandson of the emperor is outside, let him in!" Even if this son is not as good as Tu Jingnian, the difference is not too much. After the Zhen family did such a thing, his son should be happy to see it succeed!Hehe, over the past few years, he, the king of the county, has been quite aggrieved. Did he hate himself as the emperor? Why didn't he be canonized as the prince?The Zhen family is planning behind the scenes, so he should be very happy in his heart. The old man and the elder brother who stand in front of him are finally going to die. He will be the king of a country in the future, how can he not be happy?Thinking about the crown prince, Tu Jingnian has also noticed the changes in the Zhen family these days, and he is very nervous, wishing to stay by his side every day, for fear that someone will take the opportunity to assassinate him.Hmph, everyone feels that they dote on the prince, which one of you has the filial piety of the prince, and if you change someone to be the prince, do you all wish that I would die sooner?Well, the crown prince is good, and the grandson is also filial. Thinking of A Ming, who is still obedient and smart despite having a tangle now, Emperor Chengqing's heart softened.

Cao Anping breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly went out to meet the grandson of the emperor, thinking in his heart, it seems that the East Palace is still solid, the saint is getting worse now, if he doesn't want to be buried with the saint, he still has to make peace with the prince Relationships are the only way to go. Therefore, when facing Amin, his expression softened a bit.
