The Untouchable Daiyu of the Red Chamber

Hearing this answer, Emperor Taizong just had a solemn face, but the Dali Temple minister trembled in his heart; although Dali Temple was originally the place where important cases and major cases of the royal family were tried, it is really not a good thing to know such royal secrets .

Of course, Dali Siqing also controlled his facial expressions and continued to hear the case.

This involved a lot, starting from the second concubine's sudden withdrawal from the Beijing Palace, she was questioned one by one, two days if one day was not enough, and three days if two days were not enough.Following Shui Lan's confession, it happened to be a review of the major events of these years.

As for Shui Lan's design and the resignation of the second prince's second son, Emperor Taizong was very unhappy. You are just a courtier's daughter. It is also honorable for you to be awarded the title of county magistrate. Pick and choose?

As for what happened later, each one was more shocking than the last.

Little Concubine Zhong just used Shui Lan as an information supply machine, and Shui Lan didn't know many things.However, the amount of information mastered by Emperor Taizong and Dali Siqing is completely different. According to Shui Lan's confession, many things are too coincidental when contacted with major events in the court over the years.

For example, in Shui Lan's dream, when the prince wanted to do something bad in Iron Net Mountain, there was indeed a bodyguard of the nine princes who collided with Emperor Taizong, but at that time the bodyguard named Zhong Sheng was only eager to protect him. It was an action to protect the emperor, so he was not severely punished after his dismissal.

Now that in Shuilanmeng, the cronies and guards around the prince did assassinate the emperor, and it was Zhong Sheng who served as the escort, Emperor Taizong had to think about it.

Then, Emperor Taizong also sent the prince to question.Of course, when she asked the prince, Shui Lan was detained. Even if a girl had some bizarre dreams by chance, it was not worth letting her know too much about the royal family.

The prince heard his father's sudden question about this, so he thought it over and said: "I feel that going to Iron Net Mountain to hunt, swords and swords have no eyes, so it is necessary to be sure that nothing will go wrong. In addition to paying attention to safety, he also checked all the people that Erchen planned to take to Iron Net Mountain. This investigation found that he had been with Erchen's bodyguard Zhong Xin and his ninth brother's personal bodyguard Zhong Sheng since childhood.

Later, the son-in-law tried a lot of tricks to pry Zhong Xin's mouth open, and Zhong Xin wanted to assassinate his father on Iron Net Mountain, so that Zhong Sheng could rescue him.The son followed his plan and took Zhong Xin to Iron Net Mountain. When the appointed time came, he sent another bodyguard to the place where Zhong Xin had ambushed his father. He used a mirror to reflect the sunlight to send out a signal, but he did not shoot an arrow. Zhong Sheng did as promised Rescue him, he ran into his father. "

"Then why haven't you told me the truth for so many years?" Emperor Taizong asked with a cold face.

The prince said: "I originally wanted the ninth younger brother to expose him after showing his fox tail. Who would have thought that the guards of the ninth younger brother ran into the emperor that day, and when I returned to the camp, Zhong Xin died. My son did not I have witnesses, so I have to endure it for now."

In front of his own son, Emperor Taizong didn't have to be tense, and said angrily: "What are you doing with me one by one? One is ambitious and murdered his brother; the other is to find out the truth and refuse to tell me, because you don't believe that I can do it for you. Are you fair?"

The prince knelt down on the spot: "Father calm down, my son dare not." It is true not to dare, and it is also true that he does not trust Emperor Taizong to uphold justice.Five years ago, little Concubine Zhong was still a righteous concubine who entered the palace for the sake of her family and wholeheartedly helped the Prince; the Ninth Prince was still the prince who was closest to the Prince. With Zhong Xin's death uncontested, the Prince was really not sure that he would win in one fell swoop. Changkang Palace.

Besides, when the prince knew that Changkang Palace was going to frame him, he didn't take the initiative to tell Emperor Taizong, but to find a solution by himself.In the end, the witnesses were still dead, and when the time comes, Changkang Palace will beat him up, saying that it is possible that the East Palace deliberately framed her.This kind of wrangling lawsuit that has no absolute chance of winning, isn't the fight between the East Palace and the Changkang Palace, isn't it a fight between a snipe and a clam?

Although Emperor Taizong was angry, he had experienced seizing the heir, and he knew the danger inside. Even if he changed places with the prince, Emperor Taizong would choose to solve it by himself. Besides, in Shuilan's dream, he did not give the prince Call the shots, but block it.

So Emperor Taizong didn't bother with this anymore, but asked the prince why he couldn't even trust the cronies who had been with him since he was a child.

The prince hesitated for a moment, but said anyway.First of all, back then when the Lin family had an incident of betraying the master and a slave, it made trouble in the government. Many people now know that even if the crown prince doesn’t mention it, the Emperor Taizong may not think of it. Father's reputation.He just said that the matter of the Lin family inspired him, and after a search, he found out that Zhong Xin had something wrong with him.

There is another doubtful point here. In Shuilan's dream, the key to Changkang Palace's success in framing the prince is that Zhong Xin was stolen and captured. In other words, no matter whether he succeeds or not, Zhong Xin will undoubtedly die.Emperor Taizong would not believe the prince's grievances when his cronies who had been with the prince for 20 years assassinated the emperor.But now, it has been confirmed that all of this was planned by Changkang Palace, and when I look back and think about the motive of this matter, another matter that made Emperor Taizong very angry was involved.

Zhong Xin is the adopted son of the Zhong family, and he grew up with Concubine Zhong since childhood.The ancients valued relationships very highly. Even if they were adopted sons, Zhong Xin and Concubine Zhong were also brothers and sisters. Under normal circumstances, no one would think too much about it.But if Zhong Xin would rather sacrifice himself to frame the crown prince in order to help Concubine Zhong achieve her ambition, what is going on here really makes Emperor Taizong have to think about it.

The prince didn't dare to mention this matter to his own father. No one else, except Dali Siqing, knew that Shui Lan had such a dream, so no one else knew.But how could the ruler of the world endure such a thing, and regardless of whether Zhong Xin and Concubine Zhong had transgressed the norms or not, in the eyes of Emperor Taizong, Concubine Zhong was dead.

Changkang Palace attempted to frame the Crown Prince five years ago, but now it is manipulating public opinion in an attempt to use theocracy to sway the monarchy. Coupled with the disgusting incident of Zhong Xin, Emperor Taizong is no longer soft-hearted. The case has not yet been concluded, Xiao Concubine Zhong was sent to the cold palace, and the Ninth Prince was imprisoned.After the trial is over, the punishment for Changkang Palace will only be heavier.

During this time, Concubine Zhou Guifei also made up for it in a timely manner.Concubine Zhou Gui didn't know the details of the case, but she could tell that Changkang Palace had lost power.Concubine Zhou just told Emperor Taizong about the third prince's leg ailment, and it still hurts on cloudy and rainy days. The imperial doctor in the imperial hospital was useless after seeing it, but the imperial physician Hu, who was the best at treating trauma, died for no apparent reason.

Emperor Taizong just knew that the little concubine Zhong and the prince dared to frame him, so didn't he dare to get rid of his other sons?The third prince back then was also one of the most outstanding of his descendants, but now he is disabled and lives in seclusion.

Concubine Zhou's reminder will reveal the truth of this old case.

Naturally, the Lin family also paid close attention to this case. This time it was equivalent to a decisive battle between the East Palace and Changkang Palace. It was related to the victory of the East Palace and the survival of the Lin family.

Situ Zhuo even passed on any news to the Lin family. Today Situ Zhuo finally couldn't help himself from coming.This time, Daiyu didn't even talk about the defense of men and women, and directly brought Situ Zhuo into her study, leaving Chunshan and Xueyan to guard outside.Naturally, Situ Zhuo's entourage and servants were also watching from afar.

"Little prince, your fate and mine are in other people's hands." Daiyu's expression was calm, but it was different from the indifference in the past, this time there was seriousness in the calm.

Of course Situ Zhuo knew this truth: "The day Shui Lan was taken to Dali Temple, it was destined that our secrets would be known to the imperial grandfather. How did Miss Lin get here, do you want to go back? We can give it a try."

Naturally, Daiyu thought about going back to the old house, but first of all, she lived in the old house for a few days five years ago, and nothing happened, even if she went back to the old house, she might not be able to travel back.Secondly, if she doesn't know that the Lin family is safe, Daiyu can't feel at ease even if she goes back to modern times.

If I am really a time traveler, if I go back to modern times, I don't need to worry about anything. "A Dream of Red Mansions" is just a book, and the life and death of people in the book are just a matter of the author's words.But I am the real Lin Daiyu, and I have lived in the later generations for several years by chance, but I can't change the fact that I am the daughter of the Lin family.Parents, younger brother, and two righteous sisters are real relatives in Daiyu's life. She is not Situ Zhuo, and Situ Zhuo is really going back when he wears it back; he is abandoning his family when he wears it to the modern age.

So Daiyu shook her head slowly, and said: "I still have a lot of things to do, if the little prince has a way to wear it back, let's try it."

Situ Zhuo smiled lightly and said: "Forget it, I don't know if this method is useful; if it fails, it will end up with the reputation of absconding in fear of crime, and there will be nowhere to go." Could it be that the risk of not being able to go back through the king's soil, neither Situ Zhuo nor Daiyu could afford it.

As for Dali Temple, I also noticed that although many natural disasters and man-made disasters are the same as in Shuilanmeng, the development of the political situation in the court has changed since the Lin family rescued the only son Lin You who would have died.After that, I found that the Lin family was very different from Shuilan Mengli.

Ask Shui Lan again, Shui Lan also told the truth, it was still Lin Daiyu who was very sick in her dream, sent under the fence, and died of illness in Rongguo Mansion, Lin Daiyu in reality is very different from her dream, and also said Situ Zhuo is Extra people.In addition, Shui Lan attached the guess that Situ Zhuo and Lin Daiyu might be evildoers.

Emperor Taizong didn't bother to prove that Situ Zhuo and Lin Daiyu were human or demon, but began to secretly investigate the influence of these two people on the political situation.As a monarch, if you meet someone with extraordinary ability, the first thing you think about is whether it can be used by me, and the second is whether it will threaten the imperial power.

Obviously, it is impossible for Situ Zhuo and Lin Daiyu to be mediocre due to their identities.

As the trial of Concubine Zhong and the Ninth Prince's case deepened, Emperor Taizong learned some other truths.For example, the East Palace did get a reminder from the Lin family before it started a thorough investigation of its cronies and found Zhong Xin, but it was so easy for the East Palace to find Zhong Xin at that time because the crown prince had received several reminders.At that time, the prince didn't know who was reminding him, but after analyzing it now, it was very likely that it was Situ Zhuo.

As for the fact that after the Lin family entered Beijing, Situ Zhuo and the Lin family were particularly close. In the past, Emperor Taizong thought that Situ Zhuo was only asking Lin Ruhai for advice, but now he has to consider whether there are other secrets.Even Emperor Taizong couldn't help asking himself: Are Situ Zhuo and Lin Daiyu really Shenying attendants and Jiangzhu fairies?But it's not right, now that it has been confirmed that the vast masters and Miaomiao real people are all big hoaxes, then the words made up by the magic stick can't be trusted.But why did Lin Daiyu and Situ Zhuo become the biggest variables in Shui Lan's dream?

Because there are too many secrets related to the royal family, and even Shui Lan's unexplainable dream, the entire process of interrogating Shui Lan, except for Emperor Taizong himself, only Dali Temple Minister participated, and no one in the Ministry of Punishment and the Metropolitan Procuratorate knew the inside story. The rest of the royal family didn't even know anything.

In order to prevent such secrets from spreading, Emperor Taizong had to order the third division to step up the investigation.This time, Emperor Taizong changed his previous benevolent style and imposed death penalty on many people in Changkang Palace and Ninth Prince's Mansion.

Knowing such secrets, Changkang Palace's mother and son naturally couldn't keep them, and all the cronies around them were also asked to kill.As for Shui Lan, after forcing her to vomit all her dreams, she was given a glass of poisoned wine.

Shui Lan didn't think deeply, so her words were still believable. According to Shui Lan, only Concubine Zhong was told about this secret matter.Fortunately, Shui Lan was quite strict with his family. Emperor Taizong ordered people to strictly investigate the Beijing Palace, and found some other crimes, which were enough to sentence the King of Beijing to death.But in the end, only Wang Jing and his wife were beheaded, and Shui Rong was sentenced to exile, leaving one life in the end.

Seeing Emperor Taizong's resolute and murderous style of judgment this time, Daiyu knew that he was trying to silence her, but almost no one who might know the secrets in Shuilanmeng was spared.Then, what is the fate of himself and Situ Zhuo?

Lin Ruhai also smelled something different from Emperor Taizong's swift and messy judgment style in the Changkang Palace case. This time, Lin Ruhai didn't discuss with his family, but ran outside every day, and only visited yesterday. Prime Minister Wen's Mansion is going to visit Ningguo Mansion today, and every time he comes back, it is late at night.

Daiyu had already developed the habit of going to bed early and getting up early, even though she had many things to worry about, Daiyu never stayed up late.Daiyu has always felt that only when she gets enough sleep can she have a clear head to deal with complicated situations.

But Daiyu never fell asleep that day, waiting for Lin Ruhai to come back.

Seeing that her daughter was not asleep, Lin Ruhai instantly understood.With her daughter's exquisite mind, how can she fail to see through the predicament in front of her?

Daiyu still didn't panic, first asked Lin Ruhai if he wanted to eat something to warm his stomach, and ordered the maid to bring a medicinal meal, Lin Ruhai drank a few sips, and the father and daughter sat down in the study.Daiyu said straight to the point: "Father doesn't have to worry about me so much."

Lin Ruhai choked up, but didn't know what to say, so he paused and said, "Yu'er, I will do my best to protect you as a father, and if necessary, I will take off the black sand on your head and take you all across the country. Overseas, the emperor should be relieved. It is also convenient for left and right to go to sea." The sea trade franchise has also been carried out for more than two years, and the imperial fleet even sailed to a place where the population was as black as carbon.According to the description, the imperial fleet has actually sailed to Africa.

Daiyu smiled slightly and said: "I am my father's daughter, and our family has not committed any crimes. It is different from those who committed treason in Changkang Palace, Ninth Prince's Mansion, and Beijing Prince's Mansion. The Emperor will not take me directly. Don't worry about my life, father. If the emperor directly announces me to enter the palace, I will have something to say; if the emperor announces my father, my father will give me a message, saying that I want to face the saint."

Lin Ruhai knew that Daiyu had always had ideas, and his own method might not be able to defeat Daiyu, but this time it was about her daughter's life, Lin Ruhai had to do her best, so how could she stop trying.Lin Ruhai said in a deep voice: "Yu'er, don't worry, you have always only made meritorious service to the country, and you have never done anything wrong. I don't believe that the emperor will not tolerate you."

Daiyu shook her head lightly, and said: "Father, listen to me. You have been looking for Prime Minister Wen and Uncle Jing in succession. Naturally, these two people can see the current situation clearly and know my situation, and they will never say a word It’s okay to say something that shouldn’t be said. But what next? Who else are you going to ask? If the person you ask for carelessly says something that shouldn’t be said, then not only me, but our family will be implicated. Speculate on the holy will It's a big taboo, the emperor hasn't done anything to me yet, how can you suspect that the emperor wants to kill me?"

Lin Ruhai was startled into a cold sweat, he was always a rigorous person, at this time he went to the doctor indiscriminately due to sudden illness, and unexpectedly he was in a mess, which almost caused a catastrophe. "Then Yu'er, after you face the saint, will you be sure?"

Daiyu was moved when she saw her father, who was always calm and wise, flustered.If it weren't for his love for his daughter, his father wouldn't be in such a mess, right?Daiyu shook her head lightly, and said, "I'm not [-]% sure, but it's worth a try. Don't worry, father. Everything I do has been carefully considered, and it's the best solution I can think of."

Lin Ruhai hummed, and said, "Yu'er, you have to remember to cherish yourself more."

Daiyu nodded and said, "Father has been exhausted for days, so my daughter sent him back to his room to rest."

Lin Ruhai was indeed exhausted these days, but as soon as she lay on the bed, it was the image of her daughter losing her life.Whether it was poisoned wine or white silk, Lin Ruhai was so frightened that he often lay on the bed until dawn, and went to the yamen with his strength.Really sleepy today, Lin Ruhai patted Daiyu's shoulder lightly, and said, "Yu'er also rest earlier."

Daiyu nodded, stood up and said, "I'll see my father off."

After sending Lin Ruhai back to the main courtyard first, Daiyu turned back to her Furong courtyard.The medicated diet given to Lin Ruhai today included tranquilizing medicine specially prescribed by Liu Xing, so my father should be able to sleep well for a few hours.

Father is willing to do his best for his own life, why can't he exchange with Emperor Taizong for the safety of the family?This Lin family was originally going to be ruined and ruined, and the last trace of family wealth was wiped out by Jia Wang's greed, and a beautiful Grand View Garden was built.

Now the prestigious Shangshu Mansion is a way out of various complicated dead situations with great difficulty and hard work.She has already lived for the third time, if she can exchange her life for the safety of her family, Daiyu thinks it is at least better than letting her family be dragged into the abyss together in order to protect herself.

In the face of politics, it is so cruel, even if life and death are at stake, the pros and cons must be weighed.

It was rare for Lin Ruhai to have a good night's sleep, and when Daiyu went to pay her respects the next day, she felt that the blackness in Lin Ruhai's eyes had faded a bit.Still arranged for the whole family to have a delicious breakfast with balanced nutrition, and the whole family sat together to eat.

Lin Ruhai took a few glances at her daughter, this girl was too talented to be trapped in the boudoir, if she died because the royal family was jealous of her talent, it would be nothing short of God.Daiyu also knew that her life was at the hands of Emperor Taizong, but there was no trace of panic on her face, her calmness remained the same as before, but there was a trace of firmness between her brows.

These days, Situ Zhuo didn't go to the Lin's house anymore, nor did he deliver letters to the Lin's house.Although on the surface it seems that the emperor is very busy dealing with Concubine Zhong's mother and child, but Situ Zhuo has an intelligence network in the palace that has activated almost all the low-level palace people. Situ Zhuo also knows that there are already people staring own up.

Situ Zhuo knew that Lin Daiyu was in the same predicament as himself, but if he delivered letters to the Lin family, it would only be self-defeating.Situ Zhuo even sent away the companions around him, telling him not to come again.

Liu Xianglian has grown a lot compared to her previous life. Although her political accomplishment is not high enough to clarify the current complicated situation, she also knows that Situ Zhuo's move is to protect him.Liu Xianglian had many problems in her previous life, but she was very loyal; this life's temperament of loyalty has not changed at all, not to mention that for a person like Situ Zhuo who is kind to everyone, it is even more impossible for Liu Xianglian to hide back to Liu's house by herself. up.

Anyway, no matter how Situ Zhuo kicked him out, Liu Xianglian should still enter the palace every day. Where is Situ Zhuo and where is Liu Xianglian.People also plausibly say that my martial arts skills are higher than the guards around His Highness, if I can't read well, His Highness thinks I'm uneducated, so just treat me as an ordinary guard.

When the situation was so tense, Daiyu knew that Situ Zhuo had been surrounded by Emperor Taizong's secret work before she received Situ Zhuo's letter.That being the case, let's wait until Emperor Taizong finishes handling the case related to Concubine Zhong.

Sure enough, after waiting for more than a month, Duke Cheng'en was dismissed, but Emperor Taizong did not take back the title of Duke Cheng'en's mansion, but gave it to a concubine of Queen Zhong.

No matter how you say it, Empress Zhong is her first spouse, and also the prince's mother's family.After knowing what Little Concubine Zhong did, it was impossible for Emperor Taizong not to anger the Zhong family, but he couldn't step on the face of the Empress Yuan and the crown prince just because he angered the Zhong family.

So Emperor Taizong made an imperial decree to replace Cheng Engong.Don't you want to support the bastard?Then I will let your concubine succeed you.Anyway, Concubine Xiao Zhong died so dishonorably, even though the royal family concealed the fact that Concubine Concubine Zhong and son of Tiewangshan attempted to frame the crown prince five years ago, Concubine Concubine Zhong concocted a fairy to influence the government, and Concubine Concubine Zhong and son committed treason If she was asked to kill her, the reputation of the daughter of the Zhong family would be over in the future. Even if the Zhong family gave back a Duke Chengen now, there would be no wealth to speak of in the future.

Mrs. Shi originally thought that Duke Cheng's house was the prince's natal family, even if she secretly favored Concubine Zhong, she would be betting on both ends, and she would be invincible.Who knew that the emperor even bestowed the death of Concubine Zhong.It was only then that Mrs. Shi remembered that after Shi Ding returned to Beijing, he got close to the Lin family, but resolutely drew a clear line with herself.Shi Ding has been the best among the sons and daughters of historians since he was a child. He should not be Mrs. Cheng Engong, so he tried to command Shi Ding in vain.

Even after Shi Ding returned to Beijing to express his opinion, if he followed up, maybe his family would not end up like this.Before asking about the cut, Mrs. Shi looked at the direction of Yuehai and thought so.

After Cheng Engong's crimes were also pronounced, Dai Yu finally waited for Dai Quan.It is a kind of dignity for the number one celebrity around Emperor Taizong to declare himself into the palace.
