After the Gu of the Red Chamber

Although Tu Lei was a little surprised that Lin Ruhai accepted Xue Biao as his disciple, he was not surprised when he thought about it carefully.

Don't look at Lin Ruhai as a child of an orthodox scholar family, but he really has a bit of rebelliousness in his bones, and he somewhat despises the current attitude of judging character by birth, no matter whether it is for the children of the concubine or the children of the rich and the poor, he treats them equally.

Xue Biao in the previous life was also recommended by him before he could enter the Lifan Academy to work, and finally became the vice president of the Lifan Academy, but now it is just a little earlier.

Of course, Xue Biao's achievements in this life must exceed those in his previous life. After all, in his previous life, the Xue family had no intention of letting Xue Biao become an official, nor did he let Xue Biao learn from a teacher.

Xue Biao is not a person who was born as an official in the imperial examination. In addition to his background as a merchant, although he was able to become an official because of the special edict addendum, but because he was not born in the imperial examination, he can at most be a fifth-rank official. A deputy court is already top-notch , but in this life, Lin Ruhai advises him, so naturally his official career in this life will be smoother than in his previous life.

Leaving aside the matter of Xue Biao, what surprised Tu Lei the most was that the person who wanted to sabotage the auction turned out to be the third uncle!

No matter in the past or present, the third uncle is the least likely to inherit the great cause. Others don't know, but Tu Lei knows a thing or two. Back then, Concubine Li was vaguely involved in the death of the imperial grandmother's dystocia, and was almost given to death because of it. If Concubine Li hadn't happened to be pregnant with her third uncle at that time, and the royal family had a tradition of not killing offspring, she might have been granted death.

Although Concubine Li, mother and son saved their lives, Concubine Li and the third uncle were rejected by the imperial grandfather.

When the imperial grandfather first abolished the crown prince, in order to stabilize the people's hearts and establish a new crown prince, the imperial grandfather would rather choose the fourth uncle who has no family background and the only one who is good at it is obedient and obedient, rather than the third uncle who is more suitable for that position. , we can see one or two.

But if it is really hard for Tu Lei to say that the third uncle really didn't have that kind of thought, in the previous life, the third uncle secretly supported his elder brother who was a concubine, which really caused him a lot of trouble. From Long Zhigong's mind, who would believe it?

But Conglong Zhigong and his ascending to the throne are two different things. He doesn't believe that the third uncle has no doubts in his heart. Even if all the princes are dead, the emperor's grandfather would rather choose the emperor's grandson to succeed him than him.

Furthermore, despite the fact that these few accidents on the road seem to have been avoided, but Tu Lei knew in his heart that it was because he had Xiao Heihei in his hand, and those killers who came to plot against him were inside him. He had been gnawed by Xiao Heihei for a long time, and it is not bad to have one-twelfth of his martial arts left.

In addition, the two dark guards in the dark guard battalion sent by Xia Dequan to protect him wanted to assassinate him under the noses of these two gate gods! ?It might as well come sooner than a dream.

So he seemed easygoing, but in fact he was dangerous and dangerous. With his third uncle being kind, keeping his hands on everything, and refusing to do everything, he really didn't seem to be such a ruthless person.

It is even more impossible to say that the third aunt made her own decisions in private. The health of the third aunt's precious son has always been poor. He didn't care about it at all, and it was even less likely that he would have time to think about it.

So Tu Lei really couldn't figure it out, frowning for a while, twisting his mouth for a while, the expression on his face was as weird as it could be said.

Seeing Tu Lei shaking his head and looking puzzled, Lin Ruhai sighed and persuaded: "This royal family is no better than other families. If you really think about ordinary people, then you are wrong."

Ever since he learned that the third prince was behind the matter, he was really surprised. After thinking about it again and again, he finally told Tu Lei about it, and reminded Tu Lei.

Although he wanted to be a pure minister, but after he taught Tu Lei, he knew that he was on the bandit ship of the abolished prince. The abolished prince is good, he is good, the abolished prince is not good, and his whole family is not good. .

For the sake of the lives of everyone in the Lin family, Lin Ruhai also had to favor the abolished prince. Fortunately, both the abolished prince and Tu Lei are quite capable and talented, and they are more suitable to be the new prince than the new prince. He is the future master of Jin Dynasty.

The only thing that worried him was that because Tu Lei grew up outside the palace since he was a child, he would treat the deposed prince and Emperor Pingkang as his father and grandfather, and lost his sense of proportion.

For the royal family, pure family affection is rare, but closeness leads to intimacy, and closeness is not inferior. If you are too close and out of proportion, it is not good.

Lin Ruhai earnestly warned, "Although the prince is your father, you must remember that he is the prince first and then your father. Even today, the emperor is the emperor first and then the grandfather. You can get close, but not too close. If you don’t know how to measure yourself properly, it’s better to follow the rules and seek stability first.”

In Lin Ruhai's capacity as a courtier, it's a bit exaggerated to say this, but he was also worried that Tu Lei was just a child, and he couldn't handle it well, and he would ruin his good hand, so he couldn't help but persuade him .

Tu Lei was secretly moved. In his previous life, Lin Ruhai never reminded him a single word when getting along with his father and grandfather. Could this be the difference between a son-in-law and a disciple?

Touched, Tu Lei almost called out the phrase "father-in-law" again. Fortunately, his desire to survive came online in an instant, and he only called out "father-in-law", swallowing the word "father-in-law" abruptly, but seeing Lin Ruhai's expression on his face Tu Lei was [-]% sure that Lin Ruhai had heard the appearance of wanting to beat someone up but not having a fit.

Lin Ruhai really wanted to beat someone up, how old is his daughter!Boy Lei, do you really deserve a beating? ?

He was even a little worried about whether Tu Lei had some unknown hobbies, so he became interested in a seven-year-old girl. If Tu Lei was not the emperor's grandson, Lin Ruhai couldn't help but do it.

Not to mention that Lin Ruhai began to criticize Tu Lei again. Although Lin Ruhai accepted Xue Biao as his disciple, he generously allowed Xue Biao to come to Beijing as a teacher after a few years. For one thing, Xue Biao was still young and was not in a hurry For a while, and the New Year is approaching, rather than staying in Beijing for a few days and rushing back to Jinling, it is better to just spend the New Year in Jinling and then talk about it.

Thanks to the help of the Xue family, the auction went very smoothly. Lin Ruhai and his party brought a large sum of money back to Beijing. The Holy Master was overjoyed and raised Lin Ruhai by half a level. Don't underestimate the half level. It is really not easy to be promoted to this half level in Yushitai, which is the most caring about people's grievances. It can also be seen that Lin Ruhai's errands this time are more than Ping Kangdi's thoughts.

But even so, Emperor Pingkang never gave any reward to the deposed prince who proposed the auction. Not only that, he didn't even reward Tu Lei, which was really unpredictable.

At any rate, Tu Lei is a person who has passed through the second life. He understands the emperor's mind better than anyone in the world. He doesn't pay attention to Emperor Pingkang's convulsions at all. Although the child is talkative, his temperament is really calm, quite like a king of a country.

It's no wonder that Emperor Pingkang had no intention of rewarding the deposed prince. For no other reason, the Northeast is really at war!

Bei Rong didn't care that it was autumn, and the elite of the eight tribes went out to attack Liaoyang Mansion.

Rao Wang Ziteng knew that Beirong was serious this time, and was caught off guard by the unexpected number of people. Fortunately, Wang Ziteng was well prepared, and the money and food from the court were delivered in time, so it didn't let him down. Liaoyang Mansion fell into the hands of the enemy.

But after the first battle, everyone in Liaoyang Mansion was exhausted, and there was a faint sense of despair in the city.

There is no other reason, those Beirong people are really weird.

Beirong people are already famous for their toughness, not to mention that those people are elite soldiers of Beirong. It is not an exaggeration to say that one is worth ten, but no matter how tough the Beirong people are, it is impossible for them not to be afraid of pain, right?

But in the first confrontation, all the Beirong people were brave and fearless, and rushed straight at the Jin army like a mad tiger. Even though many people were seriously injured, they still seemed to be unable to feel the pain at all, and they still rushed straight at the Jin army come.

Facing the mighty Beirong army, the Jin army was already a little afraid. Seeing that the Beibei soldiers were not afraid of death, they shouted the name of Changshengtian, and the Jin army became more and more frightened. If you fight against each other, you will retreat steadily.

The angry prince Teng beheaded several generals, and led the cavalry in person to disperse the Beirong army. Only then did he barely save the Liaoyang mansion.

Even so, the defeat in the first battle after all, coupled with the strange actions of the Beirong people who are not afraid of death and pain, still made many soldiers of the Great Jin feel fearful, but after only patrolling the camp, Wang Ziteng heard a lot The cry of the young sergeant of the Great Jin Dynasty.

With a rough voice, Wang Ziteng asked the men to pull out those crying Dajin soldiers, and beat them hard ten times with the whip until they couldn't get up, and finally managed to calm down.

Even after returning to the camp, Wang Ziteng still had a bit of anger on his face, "A worthless thing, I don't want to fight the enemy desperately, but I just cry."

What is the use of tears?Can tears make those Beirong people spare their lives?

Wang Er sighed, and couldn't help saying a good word for those people, "Everyone is also scared by these Beirong people."

He has been staying here for several years, and it is not that he has not fought against the Beirong people in these years, but this is the first time he has seen such a weird situation, let alone those children who have just joined the army , if it was him, he was really scared when we first met.

"This matter is indeed abnormal!" Wang Ziteng's eyes darkened slightly, "But what did you find out from the captive?"

There were not a thousand Beirong people who died in his hands, at least five hundred, but whether they were Beirong people, Hu-Han mixed blood, or even Han people, no one is not afraid of death, no matter how hard-spoken they are The fear before death is exactly the same for a person who is dying. He really has never seen anyone who is truly fearless of death.

until this time...

If only one or two Beirong people were not afraid of death, it would be fine, but a group of Beirong people were not afraid of death. Thinking about the strength in the battle, even Wang Ziteng shivered subconsciously. He really didn't understand. It's okay for one person to go crazy, but why a group of people go crazy together?Could it be that some kind of madness has become popular in Beirong recently?

Wang Ziteng really didn't understand, so he took advantage of the previous battle to save the lives of a few prisoners, and asked carefully.

Wang Er whispered: "I understand the question, they said that they all drank the holy water given by the priest of Beirong, so that they could not feel the pain at all, but..."

Wang Er snorted coldly with disdain, "After the effect of the medicine wears off, the pain will still hurt. The master didn't see their birds called pain, rolling on the ground one by one begging for holy water. What a shame, it's completely different from what it looked like on the battlefield before."

He didn't pay attention to the Beirong priest at first, thinking that he was just a child pretending to be a ghost, but he didn't expect to make any holy water!

Although I don't know what it is, but looking at the appearance of those Beirong people, I'm afraid it is definitely not a good thing.

"Oh!" Wang Ziteng's heart moved, and he asked again subconsciously, "Everyone is rolling around asking for holy water? Not asking for gold medicine, just asking for holy water!?"

"That's not true." Wang Er nodded heavily, "Those people don't even care about stopping the bleeding, they keep asking for holy water."

Wang Ziteng narrowed his eyes slightly, "You make people starve them a few times, and ask them if they want holy water or food in a few days?"

Wang Er was slightly puzzled, seeing what the master meant, it seemed that he really wanted to continue to raise those Beirong prisoners, which really didn't seem like the master's temper.

Although he didn't know the reason, he still answered yes in a low voice.

"Also..." Wang Ziteng's face darkened, and he said again: "Go and ask, how long have those people been drinking the holy water?"

If it is really that thing... I'm afraid, this battle is really difficult to fight.
