[Red Mansion] Adopted daughter and child

Lin Liu looked at the two of them, and smiled after a while: "The clouds and thunder during the day, and the light from the sky at the back, are you responsible for the special effects?"

If such a thing happened in modern times, there is no doubt that it must be a coincidence.

But in ancient times, it was still clear that there were immortals and gods. Such a weird celestial phenomenon happened on the day of enthronement, but Lin Liu couldn't help guessing from an unnatural scientific point of view.

The monks looked at each other, and the lame Taoist said, "It was indeed the two of us who made the sky burst out and the clouds recede behind us, but it was not the two of us who suddenly covered the clear sky with dark clouds and thunder in the clear sky." handwriting."

Lin Liu was taken aback: "Is it a police illusion?"

The only person she knows who can achieve a similar vision is Yiseng, but even a monk is very wary of Jinghuan, which at least shows that Jinghuan is not much different from the two of them.

One monk nodded as expected.

The lame Taoist looked at Lin Liu, and said with a smile, "But it's no wonder that the policeman fantasized about messing up your enthronement ceremony. In fact, all her plans were completely destroyed by you. Up to now, she is still living in accordance with her fate. It seems that Yuanchun and Xiren are the only poor women whose destiny is written by the boss to finish this life."

Lin Liu was stunned for a moment: "Only Yuan Chun and Xi Ren?"

The lame Taoist priest looked at the skinny monk: "Ask him, I will work with him. The monk is responsible for saving the women, and I am responsible for saving the implicated men. Originally, Zhen Shiyin, Liu Xianglian, and Jia Baoyu were both together, and I should save them." Take it off, it’s doing well now, I didn’t save anyone, but the monk saved Fairy Jianmei.”

Qin Keqing's baby name is both beautiful and her small character is Keqing.

This beautiful fairy refers to Qin Keqing.However, in the original book, Qin Keqing did not become a monk, but became a "lewful mourner in Tianxianglou".

On the contrary, Zhen Shiyin, Liu Xianglian and Jia Baoyu are all monks.

Lin Liu was a little curious: "Although I have influenced many people, I won't overthrow Jing Huan's entire plan, right? Apart from other things, Second Sister You and Third Sister You have nothing to do with me. If you have never dealt with these two people, how can you affect their fate?"

"If the fate of Second Sister You and Third Sister You has not been affected, then Liu Xianglian's fate should not be affected either." Lin Liu frowned, "There is also Jia Baoyu. Although I have a lot of contact with Rongguo Mansion, but Jia’s family has still been ransacked, and Jia Baoyu has not yet become a monk, so maybe he wants to be a Jinshi to shine in his family, so it’s not certain if he will become a monk at that time?”

The scarlet-headed monk glanced at the lame Taoist priest, shook his head and laughed: "Amitabha, the benefactor still underestimated his own influence. Although you didn't have direct contact with the second sister You, the third sister You, the mother and daughter, Jia Lian and Wang Xifeng were influenced by you." Because of the influence, I went to the capital to develop, and avoided the time when Jia Lian and Second Sister You met."

"Because Jia Lian and Wang Xifeng have been in Jinling all the time, it is naturally impossible for Jia Lian to stop marrying another wife and marry Second Sister You home when the country is filial to the family. The wealth of the Rongguo Mansion and his fiancé Zhang Hua divorced, so they will not end up swallowing money and dying."

Lin Liu was stunned for a moment, and said with a smile: "According to what you said, Second Sister You is married to Zhang Hua now?"

The scarlet-headed monk touched his bald head and smiled: "Not at all. She was born weak and greedy for glory. How could she be willing to marry Zhang Hua? After Ningguo Mansion was raided, she married Zhang Hua under the introduction of Mrs. You. An imperial businessman fills in a house. Not to mention anything else, at least she has all the wealth and glory she wants."

Lin Liu was stunned for a moment, then nodded and laughed: "This can be regarded as seeking benevolence and gaining benevolence, and it's very good."

The scarlet-headed monk laughed and said, "Not only Second Sister You, but also Third Sister You never committed suicide."

Lin Liu was surprised: "What is the reason?"

"It's because of Liu Xianglian." The scarlet-headed monk laughed, "Although the Jia family school was rectified by the old lady, it has become a bit of a serious school after that. But it's not that Xue Pan is not in the Rongguo Mansion. How long have you lived? Naturally, I have not been influenced by ethnology."

"However, both Xue Pan and Liu Xianglian are people who like to sleep in flowers, sleep in willows, and travel around. After staying in the capital for a short time, the two met again after being introduced by several people. Xue Pan has a good temper, and naturally happened again. Liu Xianglian beat Xue Pan violently."

"Xue Baochai climbed into Prince Zhongshun's mansion. The Xue family's power was different from before. Liu Xianglian didn't dare to confront him, so he ran to Jiangnan. He likes playing tricks. After going to Jiangnan, he always likes to fight against injustices. Dress up in disguise and go to the troupe to play. Coincidentally, Miss Lin's second brother He Nian wrote the script and adapted the drama which is novel and interesting, which Liu Xianglian likes very much."

"The key is to come out one after another. Fresh operas come out so often in a month. He insists on rehearsing all the plays before giving up. So day after day, he didn't come back within the scheduled time. to the capital."

Lin Liu was taken aback for a moment, and then laughed: "Can it still be like this? I should praise the Year of the Crane and the Year of the Deer more. If one of the two brothers hadn't written a story and the other had someone adapt it into a play, maybe Liu Xianglian would have returned earlier. "

In the original book, Third Sister You fell in love with Liu Xianglian at first sight many years ago, and when she reunited with her, she changed her previous dissolute nature and drew a clear line with Jia Zhen and his son with her pungentness, and she wanted to marry Liu Xianglian .

Liu Xianglian herself said that when she married a wife in the future, she would marry a stunning woman.

This Third Sister You doesn't talk about her character, at least her looks are definitely among the top in the Red Chamber, and she is definitely not an exaggeration to say she is stunning.

The only problem was that the matchmaker had concealed Third Sister You's past, making Liu Xianglian think that Third Sister You was an innocent girl.So when the truth was revealed later, Liu Xianglian's reaction was particularly intense. Third Sister You was deeply humiliated and committed suicide.

For some unknown reason, Liu Xianglian also became a monk with the lame Taoist priest.

But now, Liu Xianglian is still obsessed with the new character created by He Nian, and can't think of going back to the capital at all, so naturally she can't reunite with Third Sister You, and the ending of the following story will naturally change.

The scarlet-headed monk also seemed to find it interesting, shaking his head and laughing: "At Jia Jing's funeral, your father unintentionally bumped into Jia Rong playing with Second Sister You and Third Sister You, and left angrily. Sister, however, seemed to have opened up the two veins of Ren and Du, so she woke up instantly, and left the Ningguo Mansion before she got stuck in the mud."

"She originally wanted to persuade Mrs. You and Second Sister You to leave, but unexpectedly, the two of them had already been fascinated by the wealth of Ningguo Mansion, and they could not listen to persuasion. Second Sister You knew shame, but Old Lady You didn't care at all. Seeing Third You My sister wanted to leave, but she also tried to inform Jia Zhen, relying on the Ningguo Mansion to keep her."

"Fortunately, Third Sister You was aggressive and threatened her with her life. After making things worse, Jia Zhen and his son had to let Third Sister You go."

When Lin Liu watched Dream of the Red Chamber, he didn't really like Third Sister You very much.

It's not because of her previous unethical relationship with Jia Zhenjiarong and his son, but because of Liu Xianglian's act of committing suicide in front of others after her divorce, which made her a little unacceptable.

Unexpectedly, after she woke up early in her life, she did something impressive: "Where did Third Sister You go after she left Rongguo Mansion? What is the ending now?"

The scarlet-headed monk laughed: "She, after leaving Rongguo Mansion, she directly found a temple to stay overnight. After Ningguo Mansion was raided, she took her mother and younger sister there. She still seems to be thinking about Liu Xianglian, and said that He will not marry unless he is in this life, but I don't know if the two will have a chance to meet again in this life."

"Maybe, maybe you will never get married in this life?" The lame Taoist laughed, "In addition to the fate of the You family sisters being changed, the fate of Sanchun was also changed. The guards that were found for her now live alone in a yard by themselves, although the sparrow is small, it has all internal organs."

"Whether it's a passageway to go out, a small kitchen, or a warehouse, everything is available. Although her current life is not as rich as when she was in Rongguo Mansion, it is much more relaxed than before. The people around her are also protected. , did not let Sun Shaozu get a single point of contamination."

"Tanchun has never married far away. Although the family that was originally agreed to be married has no follow-up after the Rongguo Mansion was copied, the girl in the Rongguo Mansion is still quite famous. Now there are many people who are inquiring about Tanchun's marriage. .”

"After Ningguo Mansion was ransacked, Xichun was not implicated. She wanted to become a monk, but was stopped by the old lady. Now she is with the old lady and has Li Wan to take care of her. She is more lively and cheerful than before the house was ransacked. .”

……

After that, the monks talked about the other people in Twelve Hairpins. Although not all of them got what they wanted, most of them had better endings than the original one.

The lame Taoist focused on Jia Baoyu and Xue Baochai: "Although the Jia family is undeveloped, it is now supported by Jia Zhu and Jia Lian. Although it is not as rich as before, it can be regarded as a small rich family."

"Now he is still as naive as before, but he is more sensible than before. Because he never got married, Jia Zheng was also exiled to the frontier, and no one forced him to go to school. On the contrary, he would not hang up the words of the country's thief Lugui. When it is on the lips, I will sink my heart and read slowly."

Lin Liu was speechless: "Jia Baoyu was not a mending stone in his previous life, he was a donkey, right?"

Holding on to him, he started to backtrack, no one cared about him, instead he picked up the book and began to read it seriously.

But thinking of the changes in Jia's family, it's normal for him to have such a reaction.

In other words, if he hasn't changed a bit, he is truly abnormal.

The lame Taoist twirled his beard and changed the subject: "Xue Baochai has completely severed ties with the Jia family, so naturally she was not affected by the Jia family's confiscation of the house. However, she was also somewhat implicated because of her relationship with Prince Zhongshun, but she had made a lot of friends before. The connections have survived smoothly."

"Although she lost her money and her original dream of marrying into a noble family was also shattered, Miss Lin's ascension to the throne and proclaiming herself emperor probably gave her inspiration. Xue Baochai simply took the only money left by her family and started her own business. "

Lin Liu was really surprised now: "Do business by yourself?"

The lame Taoist nodded: "Because I don't have much contact, I have been walking with Princess Shile these years, and I am a lot unfamiliar with business. But with Xue Biao's guidance, she is slowly getting on the right track. But She may not be talented enough in business, although she has made some money, it is only a small amount of money, and there is no way to expand the business."

But for the current Xue family, it is already a very good result.

At least not living on the streets, Xue Baochai also avoided the ending of "the golden hairpin buried in the snow".

After talking about Xue Baochai, the lame Taoist priest looked at Lin Liu with a smile on his face: "As for the other important person who descended to the world, Fairy Jiangzhu, she is now by Miss Lin's side. You should know her ending better than us."

Lin Liu smiled, nodded and said: "Now she is very interested in writing poems for He Nian's words, as if she regards it as her lifelong career, but now she has no thoughts of love and love, her love is not open, she wants to be tempted I’m afraid it will take several years.”

As long as she doesn't move, Lin Daiyu won't cry, and naturally she won't end up crying and dying.

A monk burst out laughing, and the lame Taoist said, "Look, the fates of the three most important characters in Fairy Jinghuan's game, Baoyu, Daiyu, and Baochai, have all deviated, and all her calculations have come to nothing. Don't you just become angry from embarrassment and want to ruin your good deed?"

Lin Liu was helpless: "I only made a move once, and other people's changes have nothing to do with me. Why did she focus on me?"

Fortunately, a monk arrived in time today, and Jing Huan's plot was not allowed to succeed, otherwise today's enthronement ceremony would have become a joke, and she would have to spend a hundred times and a thousand times more hard work if she wanted to secure this position in the future .

If you want to promote something, you will encounter hundreds of times and thousands of obstacles than before.

Thinking of this, Lin Liu bowed to the two of them and said, "Thank you for coming in time today, otherwise I might not be able to find a suitable way to break the situation today."

The monks looked at each other and shook their heads.

The Taoist priest said: "Although the relationship between us and Jing Huan is now endless, helping you is actually helping us. What's more, after you become the empress, you will definitely bring better changes to this country. We help you, too. It is also accumulating merit.”

Lin Liu was a little surprised at first why Yiseng was helping her so wholeheartedly, but as soon as she said this, she no longer had any doubts.

The two said before that their way of practice is to accumulate merit.

Now that her identity has changed, she can do more and more things, and it is indeed like what a monk said, intending to bring more positive changes to the people of this country.

She smiled: "So, we still have a win-win cooperation?"

The monks laughed together and nodded.

A monk came to the door today just to congratulate him, and told Lin Liu the culprit by the way. Now that his goal has been achieved, he will not stay any longer.

The monks said goodbye together and were about to leave.

The lame Taoist turned around suddenly, and took out a white jade hairpin from his bag: "This jade hairpin is also a magic weapon. It has been enshrined in front of the statue of Nuwa for a long time. A copy of the past, Miss Lin, remember to wear it with you, even if Jing Huan goes down to earth in person, it is impossible to cause harm to you."

Lin Liu quickly took it, and was about to say thank you.

The scarlet-headed monk next to him gave the lame Taoist a sideways look, and said with a smile: "You are very courteous, and you didn't tell me when you prepared a gift for Miss Lin. Fortunately, I also prepared a gift, so I won't be compared by you." into the mud."

As he said, he took off a string of Buddhist beads from his hand, "This is the Buddhist beads that Master wore for hundreds of years, and then passed on to me for hundreds of years. There are also some merits of mending the sky, although the effect is not as good as that of Taoist priests. The white jade hairpin, but it is more restrained from demons. Miss Lin, take it, this thing can keep you awake all the time, so you won’t get lost.”

Lin Liu took it again and thanked her repeatedly.

But when she raised her head, a monk and a monk had already disappeared in front of the window just like the previous few times.

Lin Liu put away the white jade hairpin and the rosary, and put them directly next to the pillow, never leaving her body for a moment.

After ascending the throne, it is natural to reward meritorious deeds.

The ones who contributed the most are of course the Lin family and Ji Song and his soldiers.

Lin Liu did not hesitate to confer the title of a duke of Ji Song, and his soldiers were also rewarded for their merits, knighted, promoted, and rewarded.

The soldiers after promotion were not afraid of not having a military belt. Among the generals who went to Beijing, there were always a few arrogant people who swore their allegiance to the late emperor.

Naturally, such a person can't stay, and Ji Song's people are directly inserted into the position vacated after the killing.After the imperial decree was issued, he took office immediately, leaving no time for others to react.

Not only these promoted soldiers, but also other soldiers who performed well were picked out by Lin Liu and decided to be assigned to other troops.

Because after Ji Song led the troops back from Jiangnan, Lin Liu handed over the army's training methods directly to Ji Song. They all master the latest training methods.

The progress of all the soldiers is very obvious and huge, and because of this, the soldiers under Ji Song also love Lin Liu a little more.

These soldiers who will be assigned to other places will naturally know the training methods of both land and water arms.After they go to their own army, they will definitely have a better and deeper influence on the local army.

And the strength of North Korea and China's army will definitely be greatly improved.

Of course, it's not that no one doubted Lin Liu's intentions, and felt that Lin Liu wanted to divide the forces in Ji Song's hands and reduce his influence in the army.

Ji Song, who had already figured it out, didn't care when he heard it. Instead, he smiled and said, "When I chose to support Lin Liu on the throne, I was already prepared to be deprived of military power. She is going to kill me right now." With the military power in my hand back, I will not complain, not to mention that she just divides you into other armies?"

Ji Song is not stupid, he knows what imperial power means.

When he decided to push her to the throne according to Lin Liu's own wishes, he was already ready to be taken away from the army.

Although Lin Liu really did this, he was inevitably disappointed.

But what was unexpected and reasonable was that Lin Liu did not do this.

Not only did she not do this, but she also picked out the soldiers he brought out one by one and sent them to each army while retaining his military power.

Although he didn't know the reason why Lin Liu did this, Ji Song knew very well that once these soldiers climbed to high positions, his influence in the army would increase day by day.

……

Everything on Ji Song's side is in line with common sense, and there is no accident at all.

Lin Ruhai encountered some difficulties in conferring rewards——

Lin Liu was very hesitant before ascending the throne, whether to make Lin Ruhai the Supreme Emperor.

But before she could make a decision, Lin Ruhai personally entered the palace and dispelled her idea of ​​proclaiming herself the Supreme Emperor: "If you are a man, it's okay to make me the Supreme Emperor after ascending the throne. But you ascended the throne as a woman, If you make me the Supreme Emperor again, there will definitely be many officials in the court who will use my name to oppose your rule."

Think about the Supreme Emperor and the Emperor before, they were still two men, and the power in the court was divided into two groups that were evenly matched; if Lin Ruhai became the Supreme Emperor, it would be no surprise that those officials who were unwilling to let a woman proclaim themselves emperor would certainly not Without hesitation, he turned against Ge Linruhai and praised him as the second "emperor" of the country.

Even the only one, and then emptied Lin Liu, forced her to abdicate, or treated her like a puppet emperor.

This has nothing to do with Lin Ruhai's willingness to take away his daughter's rights, it only has to do with whether the other party is convinced of Lin Liu's proclaiming the emperor——

But in this world, there has never been a shortage of men who naturally despise women and never want to be inferior to women.For such a person, no matter how many achievements a woman makes, it is impossible for them to be convinced of the other's achievements. On the contrary, they may say countless reasons to stigmatize the other's achievements.

Just because Lin Ruhai is a man, those officials are naturally more inclined to Lin Ruhai.

Lin Liu herself also knew that, after all, Ji Song had proposed "the two sages will come to court" before, and she rejected it without hesitation.

It's just that Lin Ruhai is her father, if she doesn't make Lin Ruhai the Supreme Emperor, it will be a bit unjustifiable.The family members can still make them understand through explanations, but outsiders will have countless speculations.

Lin Liu looked at Lin Ruhai, sighed and smiled, "To tell the truth from my father, I was hesitant about this before."

Lin Ruhai frowned: "Why are you hesitating? You shouldn't make me the Supreme Emperor. Not only me, but your younger brothers must also not allow them to be associated with 'royal status'. Otherwise, all kinds of troubles will not only affect you. status, it will also affect our feelings.”

Lin Liu looked at Lin Ruhai, and laughed after a while: "I really hope that I can be like my father, always calm and rational when dealing with government affairs."

Lin Ruhai was stunned for a moment, then tentatively stretched out his hand after a while, and stroked her hair distressedly: "This is the path you chose yourself, no matter how difficult it will be in the future, you have to learn it."

Lin Liu took a deep breath and nodded, "I will."

But if Lin Ruhai is not named the Supreme Emperor, outsiders will definitely doubt Lin Liu's attitude towards the Lin family, but this is something Lin Liu can't bear.

So she smiled and said: "Since you can't make father the Supreme Emperor, just like Ji Song, you can make father the title of Duke, and then let you be the first minister of the court."

This is no problem.

Lin Ruhai nodded, and nodded in response directly.

Lin Liu said again: "Now that the court situation is not stable, Guiling can only stay in Jiangnan to guard, but he cannot be recalled to the capital for reward. There are also Year of the Crane and Year of the Deer, they have done too much during this time, but right now There is no way to leave the capital."

Lin Ruhai smiled: "Even if they come back, you shouldn't reward them. Otherwise, I'm afraid that many people will think that you are nepotism and you will have a bad reputation."

Lin Liu smiled, but did not persist.

She was just regretting it, and knowing the seriousness of it, naturally she would not recall him back to the capital at such a juncture.

The father and daughter talked for a while, and when they mentioned the rumors outside, Lin Ruhai suddenly said: "Otherwise, little Qilin, do you recognize your ancestors and return to your ancestors?"

Lin Liu was startled: "Father, what do you mean?"

Lin Ruhai was a little bit reluctant, but her tone became firmer the more she said: "Anyway, most people in the capital know that you are only the adopted daughter of the Lin family. Even if you recognize your ancestors and return to the clan, it will not cause too much trouble. On the contrary, if you continue to stay in the Lin family, it will cause many unnecessary problems. gossip and trouble."

Lin Liu was about to refuse, when Lin Ruhai said, "Didn't you say before that you want to be calm and rational like me? This is the best choice."

Seeing Lin Liu's face full of disapproval, he frowned and said, "Before you came to the throne, I asked someone to inquire about the situation of your biological father's family. Both your biological father and grandmother died in a fire. The other family members of your biological father It was also because of the injuries caused by the fire, and many people did not survive the subsequent treatment, so they passed away.”

"There are only a few left, and they can only rely on begging for a living. My father has also been sent to a place isolated from the world, and I won't let them bother you again."

Lin Liu was startled: "Father found everyone, and then sent them away?"

Lin Ruhai glanced at her: "What else? Keep them, and wait until someone wants to make a fuss about your life experience, and then find out this family to scare you?"

Lin Liu didn't think that Lin Ruhai did a bad job, she was just a little surprised that Lin Ruhai went to find her biological father's family before she ascended the throne, and used her own method to solve this hidden danger.

She paused, then hesitated and said, "Did my father keep thinking about letting me recognize my ancestors after he agreed to my enthronement?"

Lin Ruhai looked at Lin Liu and smiled: "I have such an idea, but I have been hesitant before, so I can't make up my mind."

After all, Lin Liu was the child he picked up from the Yushi Mansion with his own hands. He still remembers that when he received Lin Liu's swaddling baby from Lin Da's hand, his heart felt as if he had been hit by something, soft and soft. Touched feeling.

Although he knows that this is the best way, but he is also an ordinary person, so he will naturally feel reluctant.

But it was the last moment, and he couldn't hesitate any longer.

That's why Lin Ruhai said that to Lin Liu.

After Lin Liu came to this world, the first people he saw were Lin Ruhai and Jia Min, and they lived with the Lin family for more than 20 years.

She had already gotten used to her identity as the Lin family, and Lin Liu couldn't accept that she suddenly wanted to strip this identity from her.

But at the same time, she also knew that what Lin Ruhai said was indeed the best way.

Because she is not Lin Ruhai's biological daughter, it is perfectly normal for her not to make Lin Ruhai the Supreme Emperor.

Some people may say that she is cold-blooded, but for an emperor, this is never a derogatory term.

Lin Liu bowed her head: "I have to think about it carefully, and I will give my father an answer tomorrow."

Lin Ruhai rubbed Lin Liu's head distressedly, and said with a smile, "Okay, I'll come back tomorrow to find our little unicorn queen."

But he knew that little Qilin would definitely agree to his proposal.

Because the little unicorn is really working very hard to grow up and wants to become a good emperor.

It's just a day, Lin Ruhai doesn't think it's anything—

After all, it has been two or three months since this idea first appeared in his mind, and now he finally made up his mind to say it.As long as the little unicorn calmed down for a day, he was already very good.

It is really not that easy to let go of the identity that has been with me for more than 20 years.

Lin Liu was taken aback for a moment, and her eyes turned red instantly.

One day later, as Lin Ruhai expected, Lin Liu agreed to his proposal.

but……

Lin Liu insisted: "Even if I recognize my ancestors and return to them, I will never change my surname."

Lin Ruhai was stunned for a moment, but he didn't reject her little waywardness.

After Ji Song learned about this, he entered the palace and accompanied Lin Liu to sit in the Qinzheng Hall for several hours, without saying anything, just sitting there quietly.

This kind of silent company is obviously what Lin Liu needs most at this moment.

Just like back then, when Ji Song was most uncomfortable, Lin Liu just sat quietly with him for a while.

But the effect is very good.

After Lin Liu adjusted her mood, she turned around and hugged Ji Song directly: "When the court situation is stable, we will get married. I will carry a big sedan chair to marry you into the palace."

Ji Song was taken aback for a moment, and then laughed: "I don't want to carry a big sedan chair, you take the horse team out of the palace to welcome me into the palace, and then I will agree to marry you."

Lin Liu was stunned, and after a while, taking advantage of Ji Song's lack of reaction, she went up to him and kissed him: "Don't worry, I'm good at riding, and I'm sure I can ride a tall horse and marry you into the palace, my queen." Husband."

Ji Song was stunned, and after a while his cheeks flushed red.

Although the word queen mostly refers to women, the word "post" itself does not distinguish between men and women.Because in the Xia Dynasty, the supreme leader of the country was not called the "king", but the queen.

It just evolved later that "king", "emperor" and "emperor" replaced "empress", but there is no insult in using this word to become Ji Song.

After all, the queen itself means "empress queen".

but……

Lin Liu sighed: "After you marry me, I'm afraid you won't be able to meddle in the government in an open and honest manner, and you will only be able to control the military power."

Although he holds the military power, if he does not fight, he is afraid that he will be marginalized in the court.

Ji Song smiled: "I don't know much about the affairs of the court, but I am more familiar with the matter of leading troops to fight. As long as you don't stop me from leading troops to fight in the future, that's all."

Lin Liu smiled: "What's so difficult?"

……

Not long after she ascended the throne, Lin Liu asked someone to tell her that she wanted to recognize her ancestors, but because she was grateful for the kindness of the Lin family's upbringing, she still took the surname Lin.

This incident caused waves, but after the investigation, it was found that Lin Liu's blood relatives were only Zhang, Zhao Shi and Zhao Shi's mother, and these people with other thoughts completely died down.

Some people felt sympathetic to the Lin family, and felt that they had raised Lin Liu for so many years, and after he ascended the throne, they would not enjoy any benefits, which was really pitiful.

But this sympathy, after finding out that Lin Liu was handling the government affairs, every memorial sent up below would be discussed with Lin Ruhai and Ji Song...

Civil and military officials: "..." I admit it, I'm sore!

A royal family member who has no real power, and a chief assistant who holds a lot of power and is almost as powerful as the emperor, which identity do they want more?

……

When the new emperor ascends the throne, in order to announce his existence to the common people, he must do something completely different from the previous emperors.

After all, Lin Liu is different from other emperors, so she needs to be more careful when doing things.

In particular, it will be the harvest season in a few months. If she can't secure the throne again, she will face even greater challenges when the grain from all over the country is harvested.

Lin Ruhai and Ji Song also knew that they were able to successfully replace the previous dynasty this time not because they had more power than the previous royal family, nor because they had stronger troops than the previous royal family, but because of surprise.

And, food really played a very big role in it.

But when this year's grain is harvested, the granaries across the country have been effectively replenished, and their control over the local government and the army will no longer be effective.

Although engaging in the public opinion war allowed her to ascend to the throne without too much hindrance, but in the face of absolute strength, public opinion is like a marriage relationship in a play house, which is completely vulnerable.

That's why Lin Liu asked people to recruit generals from all over the country to the capital, with the idea of ​​letting them go to Beijing as hostages.

The army does not need to worry for the time being, but there are still threats from local governments.

There are tens of thousands of officials across the country, and it is obviously unrealistic to exchange blood for all of them.

Lin Liu looked at Lin Ruhai: "Should we do something before this year's grain harvest?"

"It must be done." Ji Song thought for a while, and suggested, "Why don't you use Enke?"

Lin Liu nodded: "This is a good idea."

The Jinshi who came out of the imperial examination were also called the disciples of the emperor, and they were bound to the interests of the new emperor since they became officials through the imperial examination.Although many years later, these Jinshi will develop countless small interest groups, but when they first entered the official position, the new emperor was obviously their only reliance.

Only by relying on the new emperor can they fight against the old officials in the court and get the opportunity to grow up, otherwise they can only rely on other forces, or they will never get ahead for a lifetime.

But it is obviously more reliable to rely on the emperor than to rely on other forces.

Therefore, it is obviously a very good choice for Enke to select suitable candidates as soon as possible to cultivate their own confidant forces.

This proposal is really good, and Lin Ruhai nodded accordingly: "After the discussion is over, you can directly issue an order to open Enke, the best time is four months later, let the station messenger hurry up, and it is best to send the news within a month. spread everywhere."

Lin Liu nodded, and said, "We can arrange a team of soldiers to escort and protect the candidates who want to take the imperial examination. Firstly, it is safe, and secondly, it will not waste too much time on the road. When we arrive in the capital, there will probably be half A month to a month of rest time."

Lin Ruhai turned to look at Ji Song: "This idea is not bad, but when the time comes, we will have to ask General Ji to help guard the capital, and we cannot allow people with malicious intentions to enter the capital."

Ji Song nodded with a very serious expression.

Lin Liu thought for a while: "The generals who came to Beijing to congratulate me on my ascension to the throne before, my previous plan was to break up all of them, and then divide them into the troops that belonged to other generals, and at the same time install Ji Song's personal soldiers, which can be effective. Prevent the general from forming too deep a bond with the general, and thus do bad things under the influence of the general."

Lin Ruhai and Ji Song looked at Lin Liu and listened carefully to what she said next.

She smiled and said, "I'm thinking, should I take advantage of the time before the harvest to screen all the officials to exclude those with serious violations and crimes, and then send the rest of the officials like the army? Officials of the same rank are scattered and replaced as officials in other places?"

"Wait until the end of Enke, and then select a group of suitable young officials and send them to study with these officials."

It is said to be learning, but it is also monitoring.

With these eager young officials staring at them, even if those old officials want to play tricks, they will be timid and will not cause much impact.

Ji Song and Lin Ruhai looked at each other and nodded in unison.

Obviously, this method is very good.

Lin Liu blinked and said with a smile: "But before that, we have a more important matter to deal with. Now that the river has just receded, it will obviously not be possible within a month or two if we want to restore the fields to the way they were before the disaster. arrive."

"But after a month or two, the best time for sowing will pass." Lin Liu smiled, "So, we must hurry up and promote high-yield crops such as potatoes and sweet potatoes. The common people continue to go hungry."

Lin Ruhai and Ji Song were taken aback for a moment——

"potato?"

"sweet potato?"

They have eaten it, but as a vegetable, but they don't know that it is a high-yielding crop.
