[Red Chamber] Daiyu Reborn

Prince... a monk?Or in the "Xuanzhen View"?

Being a monk is shocking enough, what's even worse is choosing "Xuanzhen Temple".

With a sullen face, Lin Rui reconfirmed to Lin Jifeng: "The prince offered to become a monk in Xuanzhen Temple?"

Lin Jifeng also hoped that he was talking nonsense, but the facts were far more absurd than nonsense. He took a deep breath and said, "That's right. The emperor disagrees. He said that there has never been a prince who has become a monk since ancient times, but the prince insisted." Of course, there are also half-dynasties fanning the flames or following the trend, "After fighting for half an hour, the change from a monk to a 'sacrifice'. The emperor still refused to abolish the prince. He always said that the Prince Yunhua case was so big that he did not abolish the prince, anyway. , that’s the ending.”

Being a monk and sacrificing one's life actually mean the same thing, probably "sacrificing one's life" has more allusions: Emperor Wu of Liang Xiao Yan sacrificed his life in Buddhist temples three times.The foolish emperor is said to have starved to death.

Xiao Yan sacrificed his life three times, and the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty collected [-] million yuan to redeem him. This is the emperor's price; the current crown prince does not know how many taels of silver it is worth, let alone—whether anyone is willing to collect the money to redeem him.

Lin Rui was silent for a long time, then suddenly looked at Duke Zhen, and said in a flat tone, "I'm sorry to trouble you."

I finally understood what Lord Zhen Guo was here for.

It is "protection".

In other words, it is the "protection" of the prince.

No matter whether the crown prince seeks his own death or dies and lives later, the Lin family should not get involved.Guandu caught fire and killed people, implicating the prince. Lin Rui couldn't get away with it anyway—although it was because the prince concealed the news and obstructed him, Lin Rui couldn't rush to "put down the rebellion" in time.

Whoever goes to "put down the rebellion" will be credited with this blood debt, either generously apologizing, or accepting the crime with depression, or courtiers stumbling each other, or monarchs and ministers renounced.

Of course, if something happened at Guandu, it was Lin Rui who should take the most responsibility, and he would be considered half of the prince's father-in-law.With Lin Rui in the game, Yun Ya also couldn't escape.

Jia Jing's heart is not poisonous.

That's why Yun Ya always insisted that the debt should be put on his head.

Duke Zheng smiled wryly and shook his head: "The old man is a mangy dog, so he also hid here all night pretending to be deaf and dumb."

Duke Zhen's lineage has always been a pure minister, unwilling to get involved in the royal family's entanglements, and it's the same this time.We waded in some muddy water, because only in this way can we avoid the dire situation further away.

Lin Rui nodded to Lin Jifeng: "Send off the guests."

"No need, the old man will leave by himself." Knowing that their uncle and nephew had something to say, Lord Zhen waved his hand and turned around.After besieging the family all night, the troops must be retreated quickly, or the people of the capital will really turn against the Marquis of Dingyuan.

Seeing Duke Zhen retreating, Princess Roulan in the cubicle finally couldn't bear it anymore. She wanted to go out and ask the two men, and even went to the palace to ask her imperial brother: What should the prince do if he sacrificed himself to become a monk?What should Daiyu do!

But someone lifted her sleeve, Princess Roulan turned her head to look, and saw Qin Keqing frowned, shook her head at her, and said in a very slow and soft voice, "Auntie, listen again."

Princess Roulan gritted her teeth, suppressing the anxiety in her heart forcefully, but saw Qin Keqing walking towards the small door on the other side of the compartment, and hurriedly asked, "Where are you going?"

"Go and see Daiyu, don't worry, aunt, I won't tell her for the time being." Qin Keqing said softly, walking gracefully while putting on her gauze hat.Instead of going to the backyard to see Daiyu, he walked from the flower hall to the front porch, and under the cover of the lush flowers and trees, he watched from a distance that Duke Zhen was leading his horse and preparing to leave.

"If I had married into Duke Zhen's mansion back then, my father might not have died. But it's hard to say, maybe the whole family has been killed by me... Or, I have been despised to death by others." Eyes filled with sorrow, lips But the line is slightly bent like a string hooked to the moon, "Father is indeed a little stupid, but he did nothing wrong."

Turning around again, he looked at the backyard, his eyes dimmed with worry a little bit: "The current crown prince has done nothing wrong, Daiyu's vision...is really much better than mine."

The organs have been exhausted, nine points of chance have been penetrated, and the last point depends on the destiny, only hope that those who seek benevolence will get benevolence.I just don't know if Lin Jifeng will cry if he hears these words.

……

In the main hall, Lin Rui watched Duke Zhen leave before turning to his nephew and asking, "Is the prince the only one going to the Taoist temple?"

"There is also He Zhi. I don't know why the prince would want to go the way of Yunyi, and He Zhi—however you look at it, he is Feng Tang."

As he said that, Lin Jifeng told Lin Rui all about his experience since he left the Tongzheng Envoy yesterday, including the fact that Yun Ya and Mr. Zhen were in collusion and revenged him for his kindness.

Lin Jifeng really felt that the royal family were all lunatics.Especially when the prince "sacrificed his life", the emperor ordered Shou Anbo and He Zhi, the former commander of the palace, to go to the Taoist temple for protection.

He Zhi is the son-in-law of Zhen Guogong, leading a group of dark rebels, tsk tsk, it is really not far from Yunyi's equipment.

Lin Rui frowned tightly: "The emperor would agree..."

"The emperor really trusts the prince." Lin Jifeng also sighed, but also felt ironic: this "trust" was bought by the prince with his life.

Several times of personal adventures, this time he fought against Jia Jing with his own strength, caught the national traitor and the dark army, and incurred a pile of blood debts, and only allowed Yun Zheng, Zhen Guogong and Lin Rui to watch the fire from the other side. Became a spectator.

The Lin family has no chance to enter the game at all...except for Daiyu.

The prince sacrificed himself to the Taoist temple, what should he do with the married princess?

The royal family seems to have forgotten about this matter, and no one mentioned it in the court.

Lin Rui suddenly asked: "How should Zhen Siwu report Qing Ninghou's collusion with the enemy?"

"I didn't mention it at all. Qing Ninghou's family is dead, and the witnesses are still in southern Xinjiang." Far water can't save near fire." Don't chew your tongue, the subordinates."

Lin Rui reconfirmed: "Is it true that no one mentions Daiyu?"

"No one mentioned it, but quite a few people looked at me. I just pretended to be dumb."

Lin Rui thought for a while, then suddenly said: "In a few days, you will send Daiyu back to Yangzhou."

"...Ah?" The royal family didn't speak, Daiyu ran away first, suspected of resisting the order?

Lin Rui said, "Since you see that He Zhi is Feng Tang, what about you?"

Lin Jifeng opened his mouth wide, froze for a moment, his expression was extremely exaggerated: "No, can't you?" The future brother-in-law is enough to be a monk, and he even buried such a big hole for him. Can he beat that little bastard? ?

Lin Rui nodded: "Zhen Siwu will definitely contact you."

I don't know whether the case of arresting spies in southern Xinjiang was in the hands of Su Wang or the emperor, but in the final analysis, Mr. Zhen is the one holding the handle.Mr. Zhen is a prince|party, there is no doubt about it.

Poor, Lin Jifeng sobbed: "Uncle, let's separate."

Lin Rui ignored him: "Jiangyu." They were all enshrined as princes and separated, playing with the emperor?

... My daughter-in-law will beat me to death, maybe your wife will beat me too.

It was still raining outside, and Lin Jifeng suddenly wanted to take off his clothes and rush out for a few laps to get a chill. He had a cold and a fever, and he had better be so sick that he fell unconscious, so that he didn't have to worry about all these bad things son.

Lin Jifeng sighed and went to find his sister, Princess Roulan finally couldn't help but rushed out, and said to her husband, "Does Daiyu really have to go?"

Lin Rui's answer was ambiguous: "Maybe."

……

In Daiyu's boudoir, seeing Lin Jifeng approaching from a distance, Baochai immediately withdrew, leaving Daiyu frowning and asking her brother, "What happened?"

Lin Jifeng looked at his sister's clear and beautiful big eyes, and couldn't bear it no matter what, but he still had to bite the bullet and say, "Prince, he... went to Xuanzhen Temple."

"--What?" Daiyu tightly covered her mouth.

Lin Jifeng hurriedly explained it again from beginning to end, it was really absurd, until now, Lin Jifeng felt that he was not in court, but had just watched a folded play, and the script was obscure and unintelligible, and the ending was even more inexplicable. A big pot of dog blood... People can't help but want to throw rotten vegetables, leaves and rotten eggs on the stage, and even want to pinch some gunpowder into a cannonball and smash it on the head.

But Daiyu clasped her palms tightly, her eyes were dazed: "No wonder he said that kind of thing and asked me to wait for him."

She would go to Jia's house to find her in person, she would say goodbye to her, and that soft kiss... The worries she had been worrying all along finally came true. It turned out that she really wasn't thinking too much.

Lin Jifeng squatted down on his knees, raised his head and met his sister's eyes, carefully looked and looked, very worried: "Cry if you want to cry, don't hold back, I won't laugh at you."

Daiyu lowered her eyes, but there was no moisture in her eyes, she clasped her palms, feeling distressed and sad again.As Sister Bao said, "You can't help his half."

"elder brother."

"What? Brother, listen."

"I... want to go back to Yangzhou?"

The crown prince has become a monk, and the unmarried crown princess probably has no choice but to run away besides hanging herself.Daiyu would not be so stupid as to commit suicide, besides, ask yourself if you want to wait, do you want to believe it?The answer is yes, Daiyu said silently in her heart, since she has cried to death once, in this life...could it be worse?

The girl actually guessed it.Lin Jifeng sighed, and had to tell: "It's still a little unsafe now, wait a few days, brother will send you back."

Seeing his sister nodding obediently, swallowing any grievances without crying or making troubles, Lin Jifeng really wanted to go to Xuanzhen Temple again to beat up that stinky boy who "started in chaos and ended up abandoning", and came up with a crooked idea as soon as he gritted his teeth: "Sister, do you want to meet him?"

"See... him?" Daiyu suddenly raised her head, looking forward to it in disbelief, "Is it possible now?"

Lin Jifeng had no scruples: "There is nothing impossible, he sacrificed his life and was not imprisoned." Xuanzhen Temple was surrounded by a tight circle, but the outer circle was surrounded by guards, and the inner circle was surrounded by He Zhi. Confused" past.

Besides, the crown prince decided to "seek death", and when he was about to let Zhen Siwu beat him hard, would there be any backup?Even if you beat him to death, you won't believe it!Now that you have been dragged into the water, you might as well take the initiative and find out what the "gentleman and honest" mentor and apprentice want to do.He Zhi might like to be Feng Tang, but Lin Jifeng doesn't want to be Jia Jing—that's a goblin.

"My brother will take you there tonight, that brat owes us an explanation."

Daiyu nodded lightly, and was about to hug her knees and curl up into a ball, but suddenly froze.He raised his head again, stared at Lin Jifeng closely, and said word by word: "Brother, I don't quite understand. But, I think, it should... not end."

Lin Jifeng sighed, his sister was timid but sensitive, it was really not easy to fool her: "It is definitely not over. The crown prince is still alive, and Jia Jing is also alive, but no one can see clearly now, everyone is crossing the river by feeling the stones, taking one step at a time .”

"elder brother."

"what's up?"

"Sister Bao and County Master Xu haven't left yet, have they?"

"I haven't left yet." Duke Zhen's crowded crowd had to retreat for a while.

Before Lin Jifeng finished speaking, Daiyu stood up suddenly, her face wrinkled in anxiety: "Don't let them go, let them stay for a few more days, especially Sister Bao!"

Lin Daiyu, Xue Baochai, and Xu Tan are all county heads.The county head is not allowed to show his face when he travels. He always takes a sedan chair and has a guard, which is very easy to confuse.Daiyu has an uncle who is a general, so the guards are enough; Baochai is the witness to the case, and there are many people around him.If it wasn't for usual, there would be no difference, and Daiyu would not ask Baochai to be her substitute.

Having experienced so many gossip attacks, how could Daiyu not know?The prince committed murder, sacrificed his life to become a monk, and there are countless people staring at the prince's concubine openly and secretly!It's fine if you just read the jokes, and you are afraid that someone who is waiting for an opportunity to provoke or seek revenge, if your own bad luck is imposed on others, wouldn't it be a crime?

Do unto others, do not impose on others.

Lin Jifeng wanted to cry but had no tears: Sister, you are the one who has been made so embarrassing and embarrassing that you can't get married and regret it, and you still go to fuck other people's hearts!Such a kind, well-behaved, gentle and considerate girl, how could she be deceived by that brat with deeper thoughts than the sea?

"I'm going to see him at night..." Daiyu stood too hastily just now, the wound was pulled suddenly and she felt a little dizzy, she quickly supported the edge of the bed and sat down slowly.My heart is beating very hard, I don't know if what I'm worried about is necessary, and I don't know if it's necessary to meet eagerly... As my brother said, now, I can only take one step at a time.

The author has something to say:

……

It is always right to be careful.

Falsity and reality can deceive people's eyes and ears.

In the afternoon, many people in the capital received secret reports from various channels: Tonight, the chief general of County Lin will meet the crown prince in secret.

The way of officials and civilians is the way of thieves and rats.Even Mr. Zhen received the news, and he couldn't help sighing. As expected, the people around Lin Jifeng were "well-knowledgeable"; and as the prince expected, Lin Jifeng's personality is strong when he encounters the strong, although he is extremely lazy. But there is always a tendency to struggle, unwilling to be used by others, but choosing to take the initiative to do it.

At night, under the light rain, five small sedan chairs left the Princess Palace, and one of them walked around the dark alley for half an hour before entering the Chanzhi Government Office. In a moment, there was a loud bang in the Shenzhi Government Office , the flames filled the sky, just like the Guandu River last night.

Looking at the fire from the other side, it is still sad for the rabbit to die and the fox.

Not far away, a delicate oil-paper umbrella slipped to the ground, and Daiyu couldn't help trembling. If she had just entered, she would have been blown to pieces!

Lin Jifeng also widened his eyes: "How is it possible, even if Jia Jing has great ability, it is impossible to plant explosives in your house in just one afternoon!"

The cold rain fell from last night to tonight, for a full twelve hours, and he still buried gunpowder. This is really not a human being, it must be the mind of a goblin.

Someone confessed: "I blew it up."

Turning his head, he saw a white dress. Lin Jifeng almost thought he saw a ghost: "Prince?" Why did you come here?

Yun Ya was wearing a white Taoist robe with a few cloud patterns embroidered on the hem.Said to be a Taoist robe, it looks more expensive than usual, which shows how plain and clean the crown prince usually wears.Unlike Jia Jing, whose blue shirt was like water and white beard fluttering, Yun Ya didn't look like a fairy. The autumn night was frosty and dew heavy, but it was frighteningly cold.

Daiyu looked at him and didn't know what to say for a while, Yun Ya picked up the umbrella on the ground and held it for Daiyu: "Why don't you bring a maid out?"

"I'm afraid I'll be too eye-catching..." Daiyu answered subconsciously, but stopped abruptly, and eagerly looked Yun Ya up and down, "Are you... all right?" Looking at it again and again, she felt that it was unreal.

"It's okay." Yun Ya looked at the blazing Shenzhi Government Office, "It's raining, it won't burn too much, I will compensate you."

"^No need, there's nothing there." Daiyu shook her head, since none of Yangzhou's ancestral residences was anything like that.

Only then did Lin Jifeng remember that in the afternoon, besides himself, there was no one else who had entered the Chanzhi Government Office.The gunpowder was probably buried at that time, and I suddenly remembered that the Jingwei Department told the emperor that the prince had specially ordered someone to collect the gunpowder, and it was useless at Guandu, so it was all buried in Daiyu's house.

...Why did my sister put up such a place?

Lin Jifeng really wanted to look up to the sky and sigh, and when he looked up, he saw an oil-paper umbrella on top, and then he remembered that he wanted to open an umbrella for his sister just now... Forget it, it seems that it is no longer his turn to intervene, Lin Jifeng shook Shaking his head, he felt quite bright at night.

Brother-in-law and brother-in-law always dislike each other, and the relationship is always delicate.Yun Ya looked at Lin Jifeng, then pointed to the still burning Shenzhizhengshifu: "There is a lot of noise around."

The curfew is martial law, and there is such a commotion, it can only show that they are all the same people as them——come prepared.

"I brought a lot of people with me, including officials, civilians, and thieves." Now that his brother-in-law has betrayed all of them, Lin Jifeng is also very sincere, "Most of them are borrowed from my uncle, and the rest are mine. block up."

The so-called "chasing and blocking": brocade clothes travel at night, and there are many followers.It was attracted by the true and false news spread by Lin Jifeng, some were watching jokes, some were preparing to provoke and seek revenge, and some——He Zhi appeared quietly and whispered a few words in Yun Ya's ear .

Yun Ya nodded, with a hint of understanding in his eyes.Lin Jifeng asked directly: "Have you caught Jia Jing?"

"No, he still ran away, but he left one arm behind."

Daiyu was stunned for a moment before she understood what it meant, she covered her mouth and was speechless.

Lin Jifeng understood, and looked at the Councilor's Office, which was still putting out the fire: "Is Jia Jing in there?"

"Yeah." Yun Ya explained briefly, "After you released the rumor, I ordered people to go out and change it, and postponed the agreed time by two quarters."

Understood, Lin Jifeng used all the stuff that didn't look like a good thing at first glance. Under the falsehood, Jia Jing naturally believed in Yun Ya's side more, and chose the wrong time to go in and ambush, just in time for the explosion.

"Jia Jing would actually come here in person." Lin Jifeng felt quite strange.

Yun Ya said: "Probably because no one can use him."

In the fire at Guandu, the dark army suffered heavy losses; moreover, from the moment the prince became a monk to the secret meeting with the Lin County Lord, in only four or five hours, many courtiers were still arguing with the emperor in the palace. No, I can only fight in person.

Lin Jifeng understood, and sighed, feeling that it was too cold, he jumped up and down, and said: "Jia Jing's pace has been disrupted."

"It's just luck, I didn't expect it to be so smooth." Yun Ya didn't want to explain any more, and turned to Dai Yu, "Come back with me."

go back? "where to?"

"Xuanzhen view."

Daiyu was taken away again, Lin Jifeng wanted to follow, but stopped after thinking about it.It's meaningless, I don't know who is plotting who, it's all done from the heart, and it's clear that they have a clear conscience... Isn't it just paying for a girl?Lin Jifeng gritted his back molars eeriely, and wanted to scratch the wall, why was his sister the one who paid for it!

……

Daiyu is brought to Xuanzhen Temple by Yunya.

This is her second time here, and it is also Han Qiu.The evergreen pines and cypresses are still tall and straight, and the fragrant fruits of various colors are heavy and lovable.The owner of Xuanzhen Guan has always been elegant, no matter whether he has changed or not.

The plantain is still under the corridor.Daiyu reached out and caressed the dark green banana leaves, shed her light and tender color, and she was no longer shy, just like a simple and shy girl who is about to grow up, shed her greenness, and is facing the storms and bitter rains of the world.

Xuanzhen Temple is a Taoist temple, and there are no female relatives, let alone palace maids.Yun Ya held the umbrella himself, watched Daiyu staring at the banana leaves for a long time, and couldn't help asking: "What are you thinking?"

"Pruned." Daiyu tapped the dew on the banana leaf with her slender fingertips, and it was cool, reflecting the clearness in the eyes, which can be seen clearly, "The garden has been taken care of, and the house has also been repaired. It is more beautiful than last year. There are too many." Pointing to the small courtyard not far away, the half-closed door is a bit funny, "The books are piled up to overflow, I didn't see these last time when I came here."

Yun Ya admitted: "I ordered someone to take care of this place." However, Shu was a bit wronged, "It is said that I am a monk, so I have to move anyway. After the court meeting, I can't go back to the East Palace, and neither can He Zhi. Nuo didn't know what to think, but ordered someone to send all my books over."

If I knew it earlier, I shouldn't have reminded King Beijing to take Yunnuo into the palace to avoid suspicion—but, Yunnuo is ignorant, so is King Beijing Jing?Seeing the guards haggling bitterly as Liba moved the books, they didn't even know how to dissuade them!

Presumably, the king of Beijing Jing only cares about watching the play happily!

Daiyu couldn't help laughing and bent over: "Prince Xu may be afraid that you will be lonely and boring... Hey, with Wang Xu's personality, there is really nothing in the book?"

"Caught me." Mentioning this, Yun Ya became even more helpless, "It's written like a ghost, some scolded me for talking nonsense, and some sued me, saying that someone said bad things about me in front of my father."

Daiyu blinked and became more anxious: "Only one copy?"

"I don't know. I flipped through two stacks of books and found two, and I don't want to look for any more." Yun Ya already had a lot of books, and when he was studying Dingjiang, he stole a lot from the Imperial Academy; on rainy days, move books The guards were very pitiful, baskets fell one after another, perhaps Yun Nuo picked up the top few books when he was carrying them, but they were all messed up in Yun Ya's hands.

puff!Daiyu felt a throbbing pain in her stomach, she endured it tremblingly, she almost curled up more than a green plantain.Who said the crown prince is difficult to deal with, when he meets his innocent and cute little uncle, he can only choke speechlessly, okay?

Daiyu smiled for a long time before recovering, wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, looked around again, and asked, "Why did you order someone to take care of this place?"

"I didn't think too much about it at the time, I just felt that it was a pity that it was abandoned."

Yun Ya ordered people to repair Xuanzhen Temple last year. It was just a temporary idea, but he didn't expect that this place would really become a temporary "destination".

Perhaps, not just for a while.The organs are exhausted, and the last trace depends on God's will.Yun Ya admitted: "If Jia Jing didn't throw himself into the trap this time, maybe I really want to stay here for a few years."

The blood debt that flooded the river can only be resolved by catching the culprit; otherwise, the prince has no choice but to hide until everyone in the capital gradually forgets about it.

Daiyu pursed her lips, she understood that this was the reason why Yun Ya said "wait for me" to her.

Daiyu asked, "Did you bring me here to wait for Jia Jing?"

"Yes." Yun Ya looked outside, under the rain curtain, the door of Xuanzhen Temple was open, and He Zhi and others stood under the steps in the rain, standing on both sides - as if they were welcoming guests.

(Sorry, Meow Kawen, I have been stuck until now...)
