[Red Mansion] Raiders of the heir

When Tu Hong returned to the palace, he asked Tu Yan to find out Wan's identity. Because it had been too long and it was the former emperor's past, he told him to be careful and not to make a fuss.That night, he sat alone thinking about the absurdity of this matter, and couldn't help but think of Lin Wei's sister again. Suddenly, he suddenly thought of something else, so he asked Xia Shouzhong, who was serving beside him, "I remember that there was a woman in the Rongguo Mansion. I have seen a female serving in the palace once, but which palace's female official?"

Xia Shouzhong knew that the emperor seldom hunted for fresh food, so he felt weird when he asked him this question, but he still replied: "Go back to the emperor, in the empress dowager's palace."

Tu Hong's heart sank, and he suddenly remembered many things. He was stunned for a long time before he came back to his senses, got up and said, "Let's drive to Prince Rui's Mansion." That night, the queen told him that she was Rong After the Duke, and later, the woman did appear in front of him many times in Ningshou Palace.

Xia Shouzhong: "..."

The emperor really settled Prince Rui? !

Xia Shouzhong lowered his head into the shadow of the lamp as hard as he could to hide the shock on his face, and hurried out to order the car to be prepared, but Tu Hong had no other thoughts at this moment, and all the old things he had ignored for a while seemed like shreds of paper Usually pieced together and formed in the mind.

At this moment, Tu Yan was under the lamp looking at Lin Wei's lowered head and hardworking side face in a daze, and it was extremely hard to believe his identity, when suddenly someone reported that the emperor had arrived, both master and apprentice were a little surprised.I just left when I came back in the afternoon, why did this come again?

Tu Hong entered the room and waved away everyone, even Xia Shouzhong retreated quietly outside the room, Lin Wei hurriedly got up and followed out when he saw that his expression was not right, Xia Shouzhong closed the door and stood by the side to wait.

Seeing that everyone had retreated, Tu Hong sat down on the main seat and said, "Uncle Jiu, I suddenly remembered something and felt wrong, but my mind was in a mess but I couldn't figure it out no matter what. Distinguish and distinguish."

Tu Yan hesitated, "What happened to the emperor?"

"There is a woman in the Rongguo Mansion who works in front of the Empress Dowager, but one night when I went to the Empress' Palace, I met her just in time..." Tu Hong stopped talking so far, only frowning his eyebrows in a daze.

Seeing that his expression was really bad, Tu Yan asked in a soft voice: "This has no beginning and no end, why do you think of such a person? Who is the queen mother serving in front of? Why don't I have any impression?"

Tu Hong looked up at Tu Yan, suddenly laughed, and said, "Of course you don't have the impression, if you were a little boy, you would definitely have it."

Tu Yan's face was slightly embarrassed, but when he thought about it carefully, he couldn't think of what kind of female official could make Tu Hong take it so seriously. However, seeing his expression, he felt that there must be other reasons, so he didn't ask any more questions. Just waiting for him to open his mouth, Tu Hong said: "At that time, I really didn't notice it, but every time I went to Ningshou Palace, that woman would definitely pour tea for me in a small porcelain cup made of magnolia flowers." She trembled, and looked at Tu Hong with pity in her eyes, but Tu Hong's voice was still calm and said: "It's fine once or twice, if you do a lot, I will definitely remember her."

But this was a scheming one, Tu Yan thought about the meaning of Tu Hong's words, and suddenly remembered the funeral that had caused a commotion in Ningguo Mansion earlier.At that time he was still in Yunnan, Shui Rong and Lin Wei picked him up and just arrived in Kunming, but after returning to Beijing, he was still a little distracted by the weirdness of the incident, but he soon put it down.

Tu Yan thought about it, carefully looked at Tu Hong's face, and whispered: "Maybe...you can marry her with the Queen Mother, isn't that exactly what she wants?"

Tu Hong frowned, his lips moved but he didn't raise his head, his eyes fell on the table and stopped moving.Seeing that he didn't speak anymore, Tu Yan saw that his aggrieved face was inexplicably recalled when he was a child, when this person would only show such an expression when he was in front of him, but every time he was asked to bear it for him willingly. those woe.

Tu Yan's voice softened, and he blurted out, "You don't even want me to share your worries with this kind of thing, do you?"

Tu Hong smiled, sighed and said: "Forget it, I am destined to lose a lot in this life, you should leave a clean place in Prince Rui's mansion, and I can come over more often." Tu Hong looked up at Tu Yan With a glance, he suddenly said, "The matter of Yunnan... I will never ask you to leave Beijing again. If one day the trouble becomes irreversible and I lose even you, then I will be really lonely. I... will give you an explanation." of."

"Why did your majesty say that? I have my own sense of proportion." Tu Yan turned his face away slightly, and was not happy to hear Tu Hong's words. This person is used to domineering in front of him, when did he learn to speak like this ?This emperor...is really not easy to be, so he couldn't help pursing his lips and said, "Don't talk about it, what do you suspect she did? It has something to do with the dead person in Ningguo Mansion?"

Tu Hong said coldly: "Go and check, the queen is a loyal and obedient king, and has always been."

"The empress did it?" Tu Yan's eyes flashed, and he asked hesitantly, "Concubine Jing?"

Tu Hong leaned back in the chair lazily, not as competent as before, and said sullenly: "How about I stay at Prince Rui's residence tonight?"

"Isn't the emperor going to ask the daughter of the Rongguo Mansion to sleep in?"

Tu Hong sighed and said, "No one is more important than Uncle Jiu."

Tu Yan said: "I'm so honored, Your Majesty wants to spread the news about Prince Rui's climbing the dragon bed tomorrow?"

"If Uncle Nine is willing, I will dismiss the harem and make you my favorite forever."

Tu Yan couldn't help laughing, and said: "Your Majesty, let's go and ask the Emperor if he has a bowl of Hedinghong ready."

Tu Hong: "..."

Tu Hong finally returned to the palace alone. It was night and he invited Jia Yuanchun, the daughter of Jia Zheng.

On the second day when the emperor was in court, he suddenly asked Prince Rui inexplicably. Hearing that Prince Rui had never come to court, he immediately became furious, as if he had never known about it before, and slapped his palm on the table. , coldly said: "Nonsense! I raised him with rich clothes and food, and told him to waste my food? Send me a message right away. If this one doesn't come today, I don't have to come again in the future!"

Everyone was a little bit stunned, the emperor actually had an attack on Prince Rui, this was something that had never happened before, these days Prince Rui was in full swing, the front of the mansion was almost blocked by all kinds of people in disguise sent by officials from all over the place to give gifts After all, Prince Rui was careful enough to deal with things, but in the end he still waited for this day.

The so-called companion is like a tiger, this statement can't be fake at all, whoever the emperor wants to get angry, he can pick the bones out of the egg, that is Prince Rui's temperament, if it is someone else, he can just pretend to be sick Pretend to be the emperor and change the other person to go to Yunnan.Besides, Prince Rui was too serious in doing the facts, so it was fine to get King Nan'an back, if there was such a big commotion in Yunnan, did he think his life was long, was he brought back with dying, was he still being missed?

Tu Hong had nothing to do in court today, so it seemed that he was looking for faults. He asked Prince Rui and asked Lin Hai: "Lin Hai was sick for a month, and I allowed him to rest for an extra month. How come he is still addicted to it? One or two are not going to the court, are you telling me to come to the door and beg them to go if something happens?"

All the ministers were obedient and no one answered, Lin Hai was Prince Rui's only confidant, everyone knew about it.Tu Hong felt that this felt good, so he couldn't stop talking, and said in a cadenced tone: "Nowadays, the world is restless, and the flood in Jinling has not abated for many days. The king of England took on the heavy responsibility to go to the disaster relief alone at a young age. The epidemic in Yunnan has just faded away. , the people are in dire straits, waiting anxiously for food and silver from the imperial court. The snow disaster in Shandong has been white for thousands of miles, and the sky and the earth have been frozen for three months. Who will relieve my worries? My heart is so worried every day, and I can’t sleep peacefully at night. I asked What did you all say at the time? Please decide, the emperor, let the emperor decide, the emperor is wise, the emperor is blessed, the emperor blesses me in the great summer, long live the emperor, long live the emperor... The lips are touching, each tongue is brighter than the other Lianhua, I will also say these words, whoever will change this person with me, I will coax you to be in high spirits every day! But, but! I want you to help the world, and to help the people! Fu, for the sake of the national economy and the people's livelihood! How much can I do alone? I am here at twelve hours a day, and it is only a few decades of planning. Do you think I want so much Long live long live long live long live What I want is to see with my own eyes that the country is safe and peaceful, that my people have no worries about food and clothing, and that no matter where they go, children are always smiling and wearing warm clothes! If this The day is right in front of you, and I will take a look at it and die now without any regrets! Dear ministers and workers, you have been standing in this position for ten years. Do you still remember your original dream? Can you still recall that time? Do you have any ambitions? Don't circle around Prince Rui, and don't circle around me, put your eyes on my people, and tell me with your actions that you hate those moths of the country, you have the world in your heart and are not afraid of the powerful, You can make the people feel at ease, and you can make me sleep peacefully without dreams!"

"Your Majesty, Prince Rui has arrived." Xia Shouzhong saw the little eunuch winking outside, and interrupted Tu Hong's casual conversation at the right time.

Tu Hong waved his hands, and said with bitterness and hatred on his face: "I'm tired, let's retreat and ask him to kneel in the Qing Palace."

"Yes."

Tu Hong returned to Qianqing Palace, saw that Tu Yan was not kneeling but was sleeping comfortably with his eyes closed on his dragon couch, seeing his comfortable appearance, he wanted to just pounce on him, and said coldly: "Get up." , I told you to kneel, why did you lie down? You don’t even look like that?”

"Do you want to show it to the emperor?" Tu Yan walked outside sullenly and knelt down.

So Lin Wei came to the palace one day, and heard that King Naying had gone to the Jinling Emperor to announce him to the Qianqing Palace, so he turned around and came to the Qianqing Palace, and saw Tu Yan kneeling outside, he was dumbfounded.

"gentlemen?"

When Tu Yan heard that it was Lin Wei coming, he looked up at him and told him to go in. Lin Wei entered the hall anxiously, but there was only one thing on his mind, the emperor finally going to clean up Tu Yan?

"It's just in time." Tu Hong said, "How is Ru Hai's health?"

Lin Wei said: "It's not very good, now I seldom come out for a walk."

Tu Hong's brows were tightly frowned, and he sighed: "It took me so many years to raise a person who is useful, but it's like this...Xia Shouzhong, you can order two more imperial physicians to visit Lin's house, and I will use them as soon as possible." They are all selected, so you don’t need to ask me for everything, just let me heal the person earlier.”

"The servant complies with the order." Xia Shouzhong went out to make arrangements after hearing this, and Tu Hong said again, "By the way, Uncle Jiu didn't pass out, did he? Tell him to come in as soon as possible."

Xia Shouzhong: "..."

Your majesty, at least you have a beginning and end, this is only a few sentences.

Tu Hong stared at Tu Yan Shi Shiran as he walked in, glanced at his knees, and said, "Does it hurt? You should ask someone to put a cushion first, do you need some medicine?" Tu Hong looked back Glancing at Lin Wei, he curled his lips and said with a smirk, "You are not used to being served by others, so ask Lin Wei to rub you for a while." Seeing that Lin Wei's identity would soon be revealed, Tu Hong felt that he should bully him as soon as possible, suddenly The feeling of multiple uncles is really unacceptable.

Tu Yan said: "Where are you so inexperienced? The emperor has something to tell you, just say it."

"The disaster relief in Shandong is related to the life and death of the common people. I thought Ruhai was reliable, but he is not in good health now. Why don't Chunwei ask him to take the test this time?" Tu Hong said.

Tu Yan rolled his eyes at him, and said speechlessly: "Lin Wei is just waiting to end, you call Lin Hai the chief examiner?"

Tu Hong curled his lips and said: "At that time, you still can't find out? What do you want that thing to do, I just reward him with a title."

Lin Wei: "..." People want to take an exam, that is Lin Hai's biggest support!

Tu Yan said angrily: "He has been studying day and night for so many years, you say forget it? Your Majesty!"

"Okay, okay, I can't offend you two, let's take the exam, let's just change people." Tu Hong said impatiently, "Who is going to relieve the disaster? Wait, there are still people in the Rongguo Mansion Right? No more?"

"There is one." Tu Yan already understood what Tu Hong was thinking, and said hesitantly, "Jia Daishan's second son, Jia Cunzhou. This person is just a small worker named Wailang, the emperor please think again."

"Wang Ziteng is fine." Looking back at Lin Wei, Tu Hong suddenly smiled, "Really?"

Lin Wei: "..." The emperor is so strange.

Wang Ziteng sealed the governor and went to Shandong for disaster relief. Later, the Rongguo Mansion received the good news that Jia Yuanchun had appointed Concubine Xiande as the head of Fengzao Palace. It took many days to rest.Mother Jia went to pick up Lin Daiyu many times, but Lin Hai's condition was getting worse and worse, and she was so worried that she couldn't sleep at night. How could she have the heart to go to the theater?It was never answered.

However, the Spring Festival is just around the corner, Lin Wei lights up the lamp to read at night, and even has to worry about the trivial matters in the mansion, but half a month later, she has lost a lot of weight, and everyone in the Lin Mansion is frowning.Lin Wei thought that with the emperor's favor, maybe Lin Hai could escape this catastrophe, and comforted Daiyu before the end of the test, but after hearing the imperial physician's replay, Tu Hong and Tu Yan were all locked up eyebrows.Tu Yan said: "Lin Hai's serious illness is difficult to cure, I'm afraid he knows it himself, maybe he's waiting for Lin Wei's imperial examination, the two of them are already worrying too much, and it's a day to survive. day."

Tu Hong thought for a while and asked, "How did the investigation go?"

Tu Yan shook his head and said: "At that time, it was recorded that it was a baby boy, but the boy died when he was four years old. As long as the old people have passed away, it is difficult to ask even now, I'm afraid... this matter will sink gone."

"Let's talk about it then, how did Lin Wei do in the exam?"

Tu Yan said, "I haven't left the examination room yet."

However, Lin Hai did not make it out of Lin Wei's examination room after all. After a few days, he looked the same as before. He was just holding on, but Daiyu knew it.Therefore, when Lin Wei left the examination room, the first thing he heard was the title of the emperor: "Lin Hai is the minister of my humerus, and he suddenly went west, which made me very sad, as if I lost an arm. The Lin family has been loyal for generations, and I always want to come here. I am very grateful and bestowed upon you the Marquis of Jianing to show my memory."

Lin Wei's eyes turned black: Lin Hai is dead? !
