After the Rebirth of the Red Chamber

Lin Ruhai rode on a horse and galloped along with a dozen or so followers.

The wind blew against his face, making his cheeks sore; the inner thighs were also worn out because he hadn't ridden a horse for many years.

But he couldn't handle that much anymore.

Lian Wensheng was originally trying to persuade him to pretend he didn't know and not to worry about it.

He also knows that this is the best choice.

However, he can't.

This was something that had never happened in the previous two lifetimes, and he didn't know what the consequences would be.But since he has chosen to be a pure minister in this life, he must put the interests of the incumbent first.

Although this sounds silly, it is the way of being a minister.

In his line of work, it doesn't matter whether he succeeds or fails, as long as he gets through this experience, as long as he survives.

Then, no matter who is sitting on the throne after today, he, Lin Ruhai, has the opportunity to become the emperor's confidant and pure minister again!

In his future career as an official, he will inevitably send out more and stay in Beijing less. If he does not gain the trust of the emperor enough, he will inevitably be restrained in doing many things.

Therefore, Lin Ruhai is gambling.

If today is just a false alarm, that would be the best.

if……

Then he would have to gamble his life.

It's just that he seems to be a little late.

When he walked to the gate of the outer city, he encountered martial law at the gate and allowed him to take out his official seal to show his identity. The general guarding the gate was also unmoved and refused to let him go.

"This general, Mr. Lin is really in a hurry." Lin Ruhai quietly pulled off the white jade cicada worth hundreds of gold from his waist, and stuffed it into the guard's hand calmly.

The general looked down and said with a smile: "The west gate is under martial law, but the other three gates are open, it's not that the general is unwilling to accommodate, it's just that the superior has issued a strict order, if I let you go, I will harm others and myself. "

Well, Baijin can only buy this sentence.

Lin Ruhai was a little annoyed, but the important matter was important, and he had no time to fight with others here, so he took a detour with his entourage and went to the south gate.

He was only halfway there, but he suddenly realized: the four city gates, only the west gate is under martial law, clearly there must be nobles to pass through.Thinking about the officer in Wan Guyuan, this noble man is very likely to be a saint.

However, if this is the case, the third prince's preparations were too hasty.

Here comes the question: does he dare to enter the city from the south gate to see the saint first, or wait for the rabbit to see the saint earlier by going to the west gate?

At this time, he regretted stopping Lian Wensheng and not letting him come with him.

If there are two people, the army can be divided into two groups.

Perhaps he hesitated for a long time, but Lin San couldn't help reminding: "Master, we still have to hurry."

Lin Ruhai gritted her teeth: I bet!

"Go, go back to Ximen."

But with this delay, everything is too late.When Lin Ruhai returned to Ximen, the martial law had already been lifted.

He asked someone to inquire, but it turned out that Shengjia had already left the city through the west gate, and he didn't know where he was going.

Lin Ruhai took a deep breath, suppressed the urge to swear, and continued to lead the chase.

It's just that he chased him for two miles, and when Sheng Jia was already in sight, he was blocked by someone.

"Brother-in-law Lin, are you safe?"

But it was Jia Jing who turned his horse out of the woods beside the road, barely blocking the road.

"Call-"

A person jumped out suddenly, startling Lin Ruhai.He hastily pulled the reins, and when the horse was about to hit Jia Jing's horse, it barely stopped the castration.

Lin Ruhai has been studying since he was a child. Although he has also practiced riding and archery, it is only for physical fitness, and he is not very good at learning.

Moreover, after passing the imperial examination, it gradually became abandoned.

That moment just now was extremely thrilling to him.

But Jia Jing, who was almost startled, was very calm.

He sat on the horse leisurely, with a friendly and polite smile on his face, waiting for Lin Ruhai to calm down.

Not only that, even the horse he was sitting on snorted lazily and flicked its tail, as if he was used to this kind of battle.

"Why is Brother Jing here?" Lin Ruhai regained his composure and asked vigilantly and suspiciously.

Jia Jing replied with a smile: "Today's rest, the sage was invited by the third prince to visit the Gu Garden in the evening. Brother-in-law Lin also knew that Jing had just been transferred from the Honglu Temple some time ago and became the Minister of the Imperial Servant Temple. When the holy driver travels, all the chariots and horses are under my command."

Lin Ruhai asked: "Brother Jing, should he be driving at this time?"

Jia Jing said with a smile: "The two young ministers of the Taipu Temple have deep foundations. I am a newcomer and I am a man with my tail between my legs. How can I dare to compete with them for the place to accompany me?"

Lin Ruhai showed a clear expression: "It seems that Brother Jing is waiting for me again."

"Ha," Jia Jing laughed, "Brother Lin, you think too much, it's just a coincidence."

"Coincidentally?" Lin Ruhai had a bad premonition.

This premonition soon came true.

"Yes, coincidentally." Jia Jing said this sentence with a smile, suddenly his expression turned serious, and he shouted sharply, "Take them all!"

In the next moment, thirty people came out from the dense forest and yellow tall grass on both sides, dragged Lin Ruhai and several of his followers off the horse, gagged their mouths and tied their hands.

Jia Jing apologized: "I have wronged my brother-in-law. If this matter is over, if Jing is still alive, he will come to the door in person to apologize."

Lin Ruhai's heart trembled, and before he had time to take another look at Jia Jing, he was shoved and pushed into the tall grass.

His brain was running crazily, trying to extract more clues from Jia Jing's behavior.

But after Jia Jing ordered people to look after him, he led the people to lie down in the tall grass without moving.

Lin Ruhai twisted his neck and took a closer look. He estimated that there were more than 200 people in ambush on their side.

He guessed that there should be about the same number of people ambushing in the woods across the road.

I don't know how long it took, but when Lin Ruhai was so cold that his lips were purple and his face was blue, and he couldn't bear it any longer, he suddenly heard a sharp sound.

Jia Jing cheered up: "It's time, let's go."

The whole group left in a mighty manner, throwing Lin Ruhai and his entourage where they were.

Lin Ruhai was in despair: I'm afraid I'm going to freeze to death!

Fortunately, the guards of the Lin family were not all idiots. In the end, the group of them managed to save themselves.

Lin Ruhai didn't dare to delay any longer, moved his frozen hands and feet a little, and then led people to Wan Gu Garden.

Their horses were all shunned by Jia Jing, so they could only run. It was really miserable.

But it was a blessing in disguise, running a lot, stretching the muscles and bones, leaving no frostbite at the root of the disease.

However, when they finally arrived at Wan Gu Garden, everything was settled.

It was a mess inside, Lin Ruhai just showed his face in front of the saint, received a commendation from the saint, and was sent away before he had time to say anything.

Later, Lin Ruhai rejoiced: Fortunately, he didn't have time to say anything!

Three days later, the official statement came out: the third prince tricked the saint into Biezhuang under the guise of being filial.In fact, he had been prepared for a long time, and set up an ambush in the villa to force the sage to abdicate.Unexpectedly, the Ninth Prince Huang Que was behind, and the two sides fought together.

After the confusion, Aryuya shot at the saint, but was blocked by the crown prince.

The prince's left arm was injured, and the saint was also frightened.

The third prince was killed on the spot in the chaos, and the ninth prince laughed triumphantly, and even took out a blank imperial edict, asking the sage to write the imperial edict.

Unexpectedly, the sage had been prepared for a long time, a fuze was sent out, and in an instant, Wan Guyuan was surrounded by the officers and soldiers of the Gyeonggi camp.

The Ninth Prince couldn't get off the tiger, unable to advance or retreat, suddenly went crazy, drew a knife himself, rushed forward, and slashed at the saint and the prince.

The prince fought his injured body and lay on the saint's body, blocking most of the damage for the saint.

But unfortunately, when the Ninth Prince was restrained, the saint was still injured.

Moreover, the face was still injured, the wound was deep enough to reach the bone, and one eye was almost blinded.

These days, those who are not good-looking will be discriminated against even in the imperial examination, and their faces will suffer irreparable injuries. Naturally, it is not easy for a saint to occupy the throne.

Moreover, with the degree of a saint's good face, he is unwilling to show his face in front of people and accept the scrutiny of the ministers who think they are concealed.

Fortunately, although the prince was injured in many places, he was not life-threatening. When Lin Ruhai received the news, the prince's injury had stabilized.

Looking at the current situation, the crown prince's succession to the throne is already a certainty, and Lin Ruhai will naturally not be troublesome at this time, and tell the story of the prince's ambush in advance.

Especially after Jia Jing came to the door and gave him a reassurance, Lin Ruhai decided to forget everything about that day.

A month later, the sage decreed the throne of Zen, and the prince, who was mostly healed from his injuries, successfully ascended the throne and became a new sage.

Lin Ruhai knelt among all the officials to pay homage to the new monarch, and took a peek at the energetic new monarch, and saw that his whole body seemed to be shrouded in a halo.

Until now, Lin Ruhai didn't know what role the crown prince played in that rebellion.

But this didn't affect Lin Ruhai's submission to him.

After all, all facts can only be determined by the winner, and the crown prince won!

Because of Conglong's achievements, Jia Jing stood in the position of Minister of War.

Moreover, he also got the promise from the new monarch that Jia Zhen can inherit the title at the same level in the future, and there is no need to descend.

This has exceeded the treatment of general servants of the dragon, and he is certainly not an ordinary servant of the dragon.

Because he didn't want his life, he dared to risk his life.

After the prince personally planned the rebellion, Jia Jing was the first to respond, and took the initiative to take over the most dangerous task: to sneak into the hands of the Ninth Prince's arrangement, play by ear, and make sure that the Third Prince and the Ninth Prince never fall apart again. Can't get out.

The third prince was beheaded by Jia Jing taking advantage of the chaos, and the seventh prince who was following the third prince was also tripped secretly by him, and fell on the knife edge of a rebel, his right arm was almost cut off.

While doing these, Jia Jing was wearing the clothes of the third prince's subordinates.

In the chaos, even the Ninth Prince himself didn't expect that there would be people sneaking into his people, so the sage naturally wouldn't doubt it.

It can be said that even if the saint was not injured, the Ninth Prince who killed his elder brother would not have the chance to get his hands on the throne.

However, even if he is injured, it will save the prince a lot of follow-up efforts.
