[Red House] How to escape from a broken ship

"I listen to His Majesty, so I have to tell him what the prince plans to do." At that time, the seriously ill old father-in-law Jia Daishan covered several layers of quilts and had a secret conversation with his son-in-law Lin Hai, "But to the emperor and the prince, it is a betrayal. The emperor After recovering, I still have to hate, anyway, the ones who are wrong are the courtiers, how could their father and son be wrong."

Jia Daishan assisted Emperor Duanping to ascend the throne. He knew the emperor so well that he hated him so much now that he would still think that his son's bad behavior was due to the disloyalty of his ministers, and it would not end well anyway.

"Ruhai," Rong Guogong closed his eyes, "Look at it, the Jia family hides, hides, and looks desperate. But it is worse than the Jia family. I'm afraid you will see it in a short time." .”

Sure enough, after the death of Duke Rong, the whole family of many ministers, and even the whole family were exiled, and it was the tragedy of Duke Shan's father and son killing each other. The emperor seemed to have forgotten that he handed over all these ministers to his son.

Didn't Jia Daishan, the crown prince Shaobao, also ask him to do it?In the end, it is also a dilemma between father and son, and the inside and outside are not human!Did the loyal ministers who have been well-known in the history books in ancient times lose more, or die more well?Loyal ministers are always at the mercy of the emperor because they have too many scruples.But the emperor's defense is often his beloved ministers, his trustworthy ministers, and even his sycophants.

Lin Hai withdrew his thoughts and looked at Jia Yan: "What you want is not only the achievements of the dragon, but also the status in front of the lord. Would you rather be the head of the phoenix than the tail of the phoenix?"

"Yes." Jia Yan nodded: "The emperor has always chosen his ministers. In fact, the ministers are also standing in line to choose the lord. Just being a loyal minister, the emperor cannot guarantee that loyal ministers will end well. It is impossible for us to be loyal to His Majesty and not give any A prince with a good face is a fool. Instead of being loyal to His Majesty and leaving a slick impression on others, it is better to be loyal to His Majesty and lean towards a certain prince."

Lin Hai asked the last question: "What if you fail?"

"I've always been worried about failure," Jia Yan said with a smile: "I'm afraid of hurting my family, and then think about it, if you want nothing to happen, you have to do nothing. Not being an official is the best, and you will never fail. If you want to keep everything we have , can only decide his position before the chaos comes."

You can't just do nothing because you're afraid of failure or the possible consequences. Walking on the street, you might get hit by a flowerpot and be killed by a flowerpot.Jia Yan has always been a person who loves power, and everything he does is to continuously increase his voice.

"Besides, to be a loyal and pure minister, uncle is loyal enough, the emperor will throw you into the mess of Yanzheng, and you will stay there for several years." Jia Yan said with a smile: "Even though Yanzheng is a fat job, but compared Next, if you can choose, is uncle willing to be in that position?"

Lin Hai's attitude has always been very relaxed, and he has no anger or other angrily reactions at all. Jia Yan is actually surprised: "Uncle, are you not angry?"

"If I could choose, of course I wouldn't take charge of the Yanzheng government...Actually, Liang Yizhi told me a piece of news a few days ago."

Jia Yan made a courteous hearing, and Lin Hai said: "Since the confinement was lifted, Your Majesty likes to call the emperor, Prince Sun Zhongshun, to your side. When you were at the Zhuangzi, Prince Zhongshun read for His Majesty. It was the biography of Yang Yong, the king of Sui's study room. .”

Jia Yan frowned, Yang Yong passed on...

Lin Hai continued: "Yizhi was there at the time, and it is said that the emperor was thinking. He told me that the emperor was afraid that he would think of Prince Yizhong."

This was a good article, and Jia Yan had a smile on his face: "If Prince Yizhong is Fangling Prince, then who is Yang Guang?"

Lin Hai smiled lightly: "A child can be taught."

"My nephew met King Qi and King Zhongshun on the road, and their uncles and nephews seem to be very close." If the seat is correct, the biggest point of this statement is the older King Qi who has always thought that the reserve is in sight. As it seems, the relationship is not bad Nice uncle and nephew, will Situ Yan stick a knife in the back?

"Hehe," Lin Hai swept away the non-existing dust on the book case: "It looks close, but it may not be really close. Unlike King Qi, Prince Zhongshun treated me, Yizhi, and the one who was by His Majesty's side at that time. Ministers who have never spoken out for Yizhong have always been honest, and we have to protect ourselves."

Jia Yan understood: "But now my uncle and Uncle Liang are close ministers of His Majesty, if King Qi wants to win you over, Situ Yan will be very unhappy if he tries to win you over. So, he will make some small moves. Then... ...Wait, protect yourself? Uncle!"

"Yes," Lin Hai said with a smile: "Actually, what I want to say is that Situ Yan is now serving His Majesty, and I and Liang Yizhi are actually quite uneasy. Do you think we have no idea? What if One day, His Majesty was persuaded by his grandson to turn over old accounts. Those of us who kept silent at the beginning will be accused of "not loyal ministers, and sit and watch the prince suffer." People's hearts are the most fickle thing, but Yan'er, you have to say To be honest, what do you value Situ Kuo?"

"Don't use him as a fledgling, you want to prevaricate me." Lin Haisu Rong said: "If it was just to keep our family's status, you would not agree so eagerly, at least you would discuss it with me."

Jia Yan said: "I can't hide it from my uncle. The king of Chu didn't use the banner of his family and the world to make circles with me. Whether he was good to Shi Guangzhu or to me, he was frank and sincere. The reason why he wants to plan for the Eastern Palace. My nephew thinks that the orthodox and the family and the country, the words that are said are really the most useless things."

Lin Hai didn't speak any more. At this moment, there was an announcement from outside. The wife sent someone to invite the master and Uncle Yan to go to the room for dinner. Jia Yan said on behalf of Lin Hai that he knew.

Lin Hai then said: "There are only a few people in the family, so be careful yourself, and don't worry, what is the emperor's attitude towards the King of Chu? I guess after this palace examination, there should be a follow-up. Speaking of it, even if you are studying for generations The country gentry also needs accumulation and capital, and the Lin family is sparsely populated, and it is difficult for the Rong Mansion to count on it. When the storm comes, it can only go against the wind and waves."

"I understand." Jia Yan said in his heart, if he can support him, if he can't, he will be the first to come out to persuade Situ Kuo to give up his thoughts and be as peaceful as a chicken.

However, Jia Yan didn't want to understand, what does "His Majesty's attitude towards King Chu" mean? In the evening, he leaned on the kang alone and wrote a note, put it in the book, and asked Dong Wan to send it to Daiyu.

Daiyu was writing in front of the desk, and she was a little surprised when she received the book. Why did she send the book at this time? It was not an interesting new book.Dongwan winked, Daiyu opened the book, and saw that the note said, "Father loves his son, but he is suddenly indifferent. Why?"

Daiyu pondered for a while looking at the note, then wrote another note, put it in the book and let Dongwan send it back.Jia Yan quickly opened the book after receiving the item, only to see the note read "Father and son quarrel? Husband and wife conflict? Outsiders provoke?"

If Jia Yan realized something.

Prince Zhongshun's Situ Yan recited Fangling King Yang Yong's biography for the emperor, Liang Yizhi was able to tell Lin Hai, and others who were present at the time would naturally tell others.

For example, in Prince Yan's mansion, Situ Chan, who is usually "pure and ascetic" and has no interest in the throne, smiled and said to Chang Shi in the mansion: "Just look at how the fourth son has a headache. Chang Shi thinks about this king, as the eldest son of the father and the emperor." , how can I express how pitiful I have been bullied by the fourth child all these years?"

The adopted sixth prince—Jin Wang Situ Ming was laughing in the mansion, it was so funny.Situ Ming recruited his personal eunuch to whisper a few words, asking him to think of a way to make the rumor that "the King of Qi killed the prince in the past" spread as widely as possible.

He himself was adopted, his second brother died, his mother and concubine died of fear, and his family was sentenced to exile, almost dying.Over the years, the fourth child, who was so happy and encouraged the emperor to adopt him, don't want to stop!Situ Ming seemed to be on fire in his heart, he wanted to see how his good fourth brother would die!

In Prince Qi's mansion, King Qi Situ Pengzu is furious, and Situ Yan's child should die!What the hell is he thinking? Could it be that he framed himself just because he used people like four princes and eight princes?

Situ Pengzu was furious, now that he is well, everyone will think that he is the king of Qi, Yang Guang who cheated his brother!

After all, the King of Yan had spoken for the abolished prince at any rate, although King Qi felt that he was trying to please both sides.But King Qi himself, his uncle Bo Linghou, and the members of the Gu family in the court, not only did not speak for them, but also said something about "Situ Hong's arrogance, extravagance and licentiousness"... Unfilial and disrespectful, Situ Pengzu accused himself of crimes. All thought up.

What should I do?King Qi asked himself, in this situation, there is only one way to make the emperor realize that it was not only that he and his uncle Gu family did not speak for the three common people and made trouble, but many people kept silent, and keeping silent was just making trouble A sort of!For example, his good brother-in-law Liang Yizhi, for example Lin Hai, Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs, for example, those who were not liquidated in the end when they were the Prince Baofu.

Now that he doesn't care about any tendencies, what surrounds King Qi, if Situ Pengzu wants to save himself, he can only drag everyone into the water!

In the capital city before the palace examination, due to the efforts of many dignitaries, the old affairs of the three common people were brought up again.Before the Spring Festival of the 29th year of Duanping, many people lived with trepidation and no joy.However, the emperor on the throne did not express anything, and soon the New Year came, and everyone felt that the world was peaceful again.

On the second day of the Lunar New Year, Jia Yan, who came to Princess Changle’s mansion with the Sun family brothers to pay New Year’s greetings, was drinking wine and barbecue with the Liang family brothers.When it was Liang Xuan's turn to compose a poem, Jia Yan suddenly noticed that there seemed to be a woman passing by on the veranda, and he whispered to Liang Ji, the second son of the princess beside him.

Liang Ji called the maid over to have a look, and after a while, the maid reported back that it was the eldest daughter of Prince Chengzhong who lost her way with the Princess of Qi Wang's family.

"The daughters of my uncles' family," Liang Shi probed, "I just happened to come here today to admire the plum blossoms. In the plum garden, I think I went astray."

Sun Zhong said: "I hope my sister will help me find it. Is my younger brother Zhao also lost?"

Before the words finished, Sun Zhao ran back with a slightly flushed face, and Liang Xuan said with a smile, "What did Ying Mian do, he was sweating."

Sun Zhao stuttered a little, saying that he almost lost his way, but fortunately he found the original way before returning.Jia Yan took a look at this kid, and felt that he was not telling the truth. Could it be that he ran into those gangsters?

And in the plum garden, there are not only a few princesses from the prince’s family, but also Liang You, the host who just came back from the outside, and the two cousins ​​Liang Ning who have been entertaining guests, as well as Daiyu, Sun Yu and other official girls. Everyone chatted and laughed. The original is excellent.Princess Qi Wang suddenly asked: "In the yard outside the plum garden, those who are barbecued and composed poems are all the cousins ​​of the Liang family?"

Liang You didn't think too much, and said with a smile: "No, there are a few young masters from the court, they play with them. Cousin also wants to barbecue and compose poems, so I'll ask my servants to prepare something."

Princess Qi Wang waved her hands again and again: "It's a cold day, our girl's house is not as cold-resistant as my sons and brothers, and I didn't ask for myself." She said and looked at the eldest daughter of the loyal prince, the girl blushed and avoided, The girls looked at each other and chatted about other topics tacitly.
