The Heart of the Red Chamber

When going to the paddock, it can be said to be leisurely and leisurely. When returning to the capital, because of the changes in the capital, it is almost day and night. Of course, the emperor's imperial chariot, which is almost like a small mobile house, will not get up soon.

After half a month, Wang Ren met Wang Ziteng who left the rebellion midway. Wang Ziteng looked thinner, but he was in good spirits. When Wang Ren asked about the details, Wang Ziteng just sighed: "Heavenly family is ruthless." !"

In just one sentence, Wang Ren quickly had a guess. It seemed that even the death of the Supreme Emperor and the Supreme Empress had been calculated by the Emperor.

Seeing the shock in Wang Ren's eyes, Wang Ziteng gave his son a stern look, and said nothing more.

The emperor showed his fangs for the first time, vigorously annihilated all the lineage of the rebellious Yizhong County King, and the Yizhong County King who was captured by Wang Ziteng was given to death, at least because his royal blood was left behind. Whole body.The families directly involved in this matter were ransacked and wiped out, and those who indirectly supported the king of Yizhong, it is still light to lose their official posts. Most of the men were exiled into the army, and the female relatives were also implicated. As soon as it was over, many people divorced their wives in a hurry, and those who were engaged also quickly divorced. No one was afraid of being implicated in this kind of thing.

Nearly [-]% of the officials, big and small, were planted. This is not a small amount. However, the emperor had obviously prepared for it. It didn't take long before he placed those positions with his own people. Now, everyone knows that the emperor has I came prepared, originally planning to get it done once and for all.

People related to the Wang family were not involved in this matter, and many people even made some contributions. Naturally, they are not in a bad mood at the moment, but according to Wang Ziteng, the Ningguo Mansion seems to have some connections with those people, of course Not involved in actual affairs, everyone knows that the father and son Jia Zhen and Jia Rong in Ningguo Mansion are not much better than trash except for playing with women.It's just that Jia Zhen and Jia Rong don't know people well, and they play riding and shooting with those people all day long, but they don't know that those people use this as a cover to conspire!Fortunately, the emperor didn't know if it was because the Ningguo Mansion didn't know anything, and didn't intend to pursue it. The Ningguo Mansion was escaped.Even if there is a problem, the Wang family can't take care of it. They are considered relatives by marriage with the Rongguo Mansion, but with the Ningguo Mansion, they have turned a few corners.

It has been more than a month since the emperor cleaned up those who did not deal with him.Of course, there are some emperors who really want to clean up, but they can't be cleaned up in a short while, for example, a few kings with different surnames and some relatives of the emperor, or for example, some nobles who have cleaned themselves up early.These people are no better than those ministers. Their ancestors were heroes who founded the country. The relationship between the court and China is intricate, and the whole body is affected by it. Therefore, the emperor can only temporarily stop.

After the bloody smell in Chang'an disappeared, it was almost time for the Chinese New Year again, but because it was still in the period of National Filial Piety, the Chinese New Year couldn't be celebrated with much fanfare, so this year was a bit dull.

As expected, Chen Yejun is no longer in the Department of General Affairs. He was transferred to the Ministry of Industry as a doctor, and became a colleague with Jia Zheng. Of course, compared with Jia Zheng, he is not so strong in terms of talent, means or popularity. Go for a few miles, and get mixed up there like a fish in water.

Because of Feng Ziying's previous achievements in rescuing her, Feng Ziying is now on the rise. In addition to being sent to the Dragon Guard for gold plating, she is also temporarily suspended in the Ministry of War. Whether she is sent abroad or stays in Chang'an in the future, her future will not be too bad.

However, Wei Ruolan did not have such good luck. No matter what the reason was, Wei Ruolan did not surrender in time. Although his father was still lying on the bed during the rebellion, someone informed that the Wei family and the rebels There are some unclear connections. After the rebellion was put down, Wei Ruolan's father claimed that his old injury had relapsed and died, but in fact he committed suicide directly.Anyway, the Wei family also has royal blood, and the eldest princess couldn't afford to be sick because of the death of her only son. Seeing that she had a few days to live, the emperor couldn't hold her account, so she had to let it go gently, and Wei Ruolan also returned home. Keeping filial piety, while serving the seriously ill grandmother.

For this reason, Wang Ren and the others who have a good relationship with Wei Ruolan are more worried. The emperor is not really a broad-minded person. Standing in the wrong line, being resentful after being warned by the emperor, and not surrendering in time, in the eyes of the emperor, this is a thousand mistakes, and now it is difficult to pursue because of the face, if you think about it in the future, Wei Ruolan lost the eldest princess Asylum, then it can only be mermaid.

Wei Ruolan is not a weak person, he comes from a noble family, but there have been many accidents these years, the future of the entire Wei family rests on his shoulders, Wang Ren wants to persuade him to give up as soon as possible, but Wei Ruolan is Sneered endlessly, Wang Ren was also helpless.

As for Shi Guangzhu, he has been working in Ping'an Prefecture for these years, and this turmoil has not affected him. He made some contributions in this rebellion, but he didn't make any mistakes in principle. Even before Wang Ziteng led his people to quell the rebellion, he took his servants and killed many rebels who ran near the Duke's Mansion. It can be regarded as a statement of position, so the position of the Shi family is still very stable. On New Year's Eve, the old man even got an extra blessing from the palace, which is very respectable.

After Shi Guangzhu returned to Beijing to report on his duties before the new year, he hurried back to Ping'an Prefecture, and met Wang Ren and his old friends.Ping'an Prefecture is in the northwest. Shi Guangzhu no longer looks like the wanton and flamboyant young man in Chang'an. His face has been stained with the color of wind and sand, his demeanor is rougher, and his expression is a little tired. After all, Ping'an Prefecture is Xining In the territory of the king of the county, Shi Guangzhu, a junior, wants to gain a foothold there, relying on the friendship of his ancestors alone is absolutely not enough, and it is difficult to live these years.

Liu Xianglian is still the same as before, mixing with people of various religions and streams, he likes to sleep in flowers and sleep in willows, because of his handsome and romantic, most of the women in brothels and even famous actors in theatrical troupes are willing to throw themselves into his arms, life is very comfortable.Since his mother passed away due to illness, no one has urged him to get married, so he can continue to wander like this.Anyway, the people who manage the Duke's Mansion only need him to provide some information to the Duke's Mansion, and to have a good relationship with those rogues who have settled down. !

However, with the changes in almost everyone's identities, the relationship that used to have no conflicts of interest is now slowly changing. Even though Feng Ziying and Wei Ruolan have grown up together almost since they were naked, now Feng Ziying, Wang Ren and the others had no choice but to distance themselves from Wei Ruolan. Even if Wang Ren and Chen Yejun maintained a relatively close relationship as lovers, they couldn't really be honest with each other.

After going through all these things, Wang Ren developed a sense of right and wrong at a young age, but after thinking about it later, he felt that he was hypocritical.

The one-year period of national filial piety is over in a blink of an eye. Not to mention the death of a grand emperor who has not appeared in front of people for a long time, even if the death is their own parents, many people are not so sad.Chang'an City quickly returned to its former bustle, even worse.

Lin Daiyu, who has been taken to Lin Zhenghe's residence, is now a filial piety, and at the age of 13, it's time for her to discuss marriage.For this reason, Lin Zhenghe and his wife both had headaches. After all, they were not Lin Daiyu's biological mother. Moreover, it seemed that Lin Daiyu and Jia Baoyu also had some vague feelings. The feelings were not completely extinguished. It is said that because of this matter, Jia Baoyu quarreled at home for three days, wanted to take Lin Daiyu back, and came to the door several times. Mrs. Li was caught by this unreasonable family. The popularity is so tight that the chest is tight.

At this time, although everyone knew that the Jia family was in a period of decline, in the eyes of most people, a thin camel was stronger than a horse. After all, Lin Daiyu's parents died. So strong, even if Mrs. Li likes this demure and intelligent niece, but I have to say that few people of similar background are willing to marry a daughter-in-law like Lin Daiyu who takes medicine all the year round.Mrs. Li thought about it, and then thought about Lin Ruhai's confession before she died, and felt that it would be a good choice for Lin Daiyu to marry Jia Baoyu.After all, in her opinion, marrying Jia Baoyu, the second son of the second wife, even though she is a relative, Lin Daiyu is also a low marriage. The Jia family embezzled the Lin family's property at the beginning, so they were embarrassed to treat Lin Daiyu harshly, just like Lin Daiyu's. Mind, so as not to be blamed in the future.

Therefore, after discussing with Lin Zhenghe, Mrs. Li prepared a four-color gift and went to Jia's house again, intending to discuss marriage with Shi Taijun.

Mrs. Li was smiling when she went there, but she was very angry when she came back.

Seeing Mrs. Li's gloomy expression, Lin Zhenghe was taken aback, and quickly asked: "Madam, could it be that someone bumped into you, why is your face so bad?"

Mrs. Li snorted softly: "It's not that Jia's family. I went to talk to the old lady of Jia's family about Yu'er's marriage today. The old lady said it nicely, but she didn't tell the truth! Character, if the parents are still alive, it is enough to enter the palace to be a concubine, but now you marry the son of a fifth-rank official, and you still have to be picky! They are simply a bunch of bastards without conscience. We want Yu'er to be a grandson-in-law, and it's Yu'er's maternal ancestral family, so we don't want to be aggressive, insisting that they return the Lin family's property, lest people say that we adopted Yu'er with an impure heart! That thing Jia Baoyu lived together, if the news hadn’t been spread, Yu’er’s reputation would have been ruined, and now that the Lin family’s money is being used, and Yu’er still despises, it’s true that there is no one in our Lin family!”

The more Mrs. Li talked, the more angry she became, thinking of Lin Daiyu, her eyes turned red: "Poor Yu'er, we have such a family, how should I tell her!"

Lin Zhenghe gritted his teeth, sighed, and said, "Ma'am, don't worry, our family will naturally not be afraid of a Jia family, but the Rongguo Mansion is after all a relative of our in-laws. I'll ask what my in-laws think later." Yes, it’s really not possible, put aside your old face for your husband, and go directly to the emperor to make decisions, after all, brother Ruhai is a hero, how can the emperor ignore the orphan of the hero!”
