The Second Young Master of the Lin Family in the Red Chamber

how could this be? !Lin Yu was a little dazed by the unexpected news.For a long time, Lin Ruhai has been a so-called pure minister, that is, he is only loyal to the saints of today, and does not involve in the struggles of the princes. No matter how they win over, he will stick to his position without wavering.

It is precisely because of this that the emperor boldly put him in the position of inspecting the salt censor for many years without moving his nest. The salt administration in the south of the Yangtze River is so important to the annual income of the imperial court. If he is not a confidant, he dare not Appointment, not to mention re-election for many years.

However, according to the facts that Lin Yu secretly observed, ever since Lin Jin suffered a serious illness and almost lost his life that year, Lin Ruhai changed his previous neutral attitude and had contact with the Seventh Prince who came out later. Their contacts were very secretive. Lin Yu didn't know the specific situation.

It was only at that time that Lin Yu realized that Aunt Mu wanted to kill him that day, not because of her own initiative, but because someone around her instigated it. However, Lin Ruhai and Jia Min later cleaned up the Lin family, and only found a few people who contributed to the flames. accomplice.

Why did Lin Ruhai choose the Seventh Prince as a support object? Lin Yu didn't know the reason, but he knew that Lin Ruhai must have conducted an analysis, and felt that the Seventh Prince had the greatest chance, or that he would be the most beneficial to the Lin family, so he did it. Made this decision.

It's not that Lin Yu was worried that Lin Ruhai would make a wrong choice, but he was still young and had no say in such important matters. Besides, the original book didn't mention which prince was chosen by the Supreme Emperor. It's better to trust his father than to be a shadow of a snake. The judgment is good.

However, when the news came that Yuan Chun was favored by the Ninth Prince, Lin Yu suddenly realized that there was still such a possibility.It was Lin Ruhai who made a mistake in standing in line. The new emperor lost his emperor's heart after ascending the throne. He entrusted Daiyu and even the Lin family's property to the Jia family in order to protect his daughter's lifelong well-being.After all, Concubine Xiande is Jia Baoyu's compatriot sister, and the new emperor was quite fond of her when she first came to the throne. If Daiyu became the daughter-in-law of Jia's family, Lin Ruhai must have offended the new emperor or just didn't support the new emperor. will implicate her.

It's not that Lin Ruhai didn't think about his daughter, but it's a pity that he miscalculated. The Jia family swallowed up the huge family property of the Lin family, built a magnificent Grand View Garden, welcomed Yuanchun's family, but refused to ask Daiyu to be his daughter-in-law, which forced her to cry To die, the whole life is bleak.

Lin Yu couldn't help breaking out in a cold sweat when he thought of this. Although what he thought of was not necessarily the facts of the year, and a considerable part of the plot was just fiction, but it would never be far from the truth, especially the fact that Lin Ruhai was wrong in standing in line. It was fulfilled.

After being in Beijing for a year, apart from frequent visits to Liu's house, Lin Jin and Lin Yu didn't have much communication with the outside world, but after all, the capital city is under the foot of the emperor, and all kinds of news are much better than other places. Jia's family and Jia Zheng work in the Ministry of Industry. Yuan Chun is also a female historian in the palace, so she can always find out.

Today's saint is the third emperor after the founding of the Dayu Dynasty. Although he is not as good as his grandfather and father in martial arts and martial arts, he is also a good generation of rulers. Moving forward, calmly.

If you insist on the advantages of a saint, being able to bear sons is one of them.Don't look at the great martial arts of Emperor Taizu Gao, who snatched the Han family back from the hands of the Tartars. The fate of children and heirs is so thin that people are frightened.Emperor Gao had quite a few sons, and his two wives gave birth to six together. Unfortunately, five of them died in battle before the founding of the country, and the only one left was Emperor Taizong.

With great difficulty, the four seas were pacified, Emperor Gao's old wounds broke out, the dragon controlled Bintian, and Emperor Taizong ascended the throne.At this time, the world has been settled, there will be no more wars, and there are more than ten or twenty concubines in the palace. The courtiers feel that they don't need to worry about the royal heirs anymore.Unexpectedly, Emperor Taizong had no sons, and the princesses were born one after another, so that when Empress Xiaowen was pregnant for the fourth time, the supply of begging charms in temples near the capital was in short supply.Not only the emperor, but also all the officials in the court, and even the people all over the world were so anxious that no prince came into the world for a long time.

You know, both Emperor Gao and Emperor Taizong had no brothers. If Emperor Taizong had no son, when he passed away, there would be no place for his stepson to succeed him. It would be strange if the world would not be in chaos.Fortunately, the emperor paid off, and after filling up two groups of seven fairies, Empress Xiaowen gave birth to the current saint.The sage was crowned a prince at birth, married a princess at the age of 14, and gave birth to his eldest son at the age of 15.Ten years later, Emperor Taizong passed away, and the saint ascended the throne smoothly.At this time, he had six sons under his knees.

Following the example of the former emperor, the sage established the crown prince early, but unfortunately his eldest son was born weak and died of illness within less than a year after becoming the crown prince.Afterwards, the sage appointed the fourth prince as the crown prince. The fourth prince was the same mother and brother as the prince who died early, and was born of the former empress.

Compared with the first prince who was both the eldest son and loved since childhood, the enshrinement of the fourth prince caused much more controversy.Because in front of him, there is the second prince born to the noble concubine, and the third prince born to the concubine Shu. Those two are much stronger than the prince, no matter whether they are studying martial arts or their mother's background.Although the crown prince was a direct descendant, the first queen died of dystocia when she gave birth to him, and the saint didn't like him very much because of this. When the crown prince was appointed for the second time, he hesitated for a long time between him and the second and third princes.

In Lin Yu's view, this prince is just an unlucky version of "Yinfeng".Although Yinfeng was already one of the most unlucky crown princes in ancient China, Lin Yu felt that the prince of the Dayu Dynasty was even more unlucky than him.He was also born to restrain his mother. When Yinfeng was a child, Master Kang loved him. Compared with him, the other elder brothers in the Kangxi Dynasty seemed to be picked up.This is not the case for the unlucky prince. The sage did not like him since he was a child, but favored the eldest son. Making him the prince was just considering the overall situation and heeded the persuasion of the courtiers.

At that time, the successor had already entered the palace and gave birth to the seventh prince. The saint was surrounded by old people from the East Palace like Concubine Gui and Concubine Shu. Under the wind of their persistent pillows, the saint saw the prince more and more disliked, so he There's almost no reason to scrap him.

Because the prince endured a lot, he sat on the prince's seat for several years.Later, the second prince couldn't sit still anymore, and joined forces with the third prince to set a trap for the prince, forcing him to break his merits, say something that shouldn't be said, and do something that shouldn't be done, so he was abolished from the position of prince .

The saint is a soft-hearted person. Even if his son had the intention of forcing the palace to rebel, he didn't kill him, but circled him.But the waste prince couldn't figure it out, raised his sword and killed himself, and left a blood letter for the saint.The sage read his son's suicide note and was very sad. Not only did he bury him richly, he also posthumously named Prince Yizhong.Not long after this incident, the sage suddenly dreamed of the former queen, woke up and brought up the old matter again, demoted the second prince and the third prince to a remote place, and was not allowed to return to Beijing without an edict. To Zhaoyi and Zhaorong.

After this incident passed, the sage was no longer willing to establish a prince, but as he got older and the little princes under him gradually grew up, the situation in the court became more and more complicated.The first four princes were dead or useless, and the fifth prince born to Concubine De became the de facto eldest son. But when he was young, he hurt his leg while riding a horse, and he was limping after healed.The sixth prince was born to a virtuous concubine, the seventh and eighth princes were all descendants, and the ninth prince was born to the palace. No matter how Lin Yu guessed before, he never expected that he would have the last laugh.

Apart from the chance meeting when he went to Liu's house for the first time, Lin Yu also met the Seventh Prince twice later.The first time was when he and Lin Jin were buying paintings and calligraphy in a study. Lin Jin and the Seventh Prince fell in love with a painting at the same time. Guessing that the other party was an extraordinary person, Lin Jin gave up. Unexpectedly, within a few days, the Seventh Prince sent The man sent the painting to the Lin family, and specified that it was for Lin Jin.But at that time, none of them knew that he was the seventh prince.

Another time later, when Lin Jin and Lin Yu came out of the Lin family, they somehow met the Seventh Prince and said that they would invite them to dinner.Lin Yu couldn't figure it out. As a prince born in the first place, he didn't stay in the palace all day long, and he always went out in low clothes, so he wasn't afraid of assassins.

But the slander belongs to the slander, the identity of the other party has been revealed, Lin Jin and Lin Yu can't refuse, but he didn't eat enough from that meal at all.

In Lin Yu's opinion, the Seventh Prince's appearance can only be regarded as ordinary, but his eyes are really eye-catching. Anyway, every time he looks at him, he can see distracted.Lin Jin, on the other hand, seemed to have good concentration, except for the first time, he never lost his composure.

Lin Yu didn't know the Seventh Prince well, but he felt that a man with such a pair of eyes that could see through people's hearts should have some experience and capital, and he was still the Queen's son, how could he lose to the nine princes who were so poorly born? As for the prince, it doesn't make sense.

And it wasn't the Seventh Prince who lost alone, the Sixth Prince and the Eighth Prince didn't fare well either. The Ninth Prince's ability is not too great.In other words, the Ninth Prince didn't do anything, it was the sixth, seventh, and eighth three who finished playing with themselves, just like the second, third, and fourth in front.

Knowing too little about the situation, Lin Yu couldn't think of a reason after much deliberation, but it was a matter of his family and life, and he couldn't ignore it.

The sage has not been crowned kings for his sons for a long time. The Ninth Prince is just an ordinary prince. Yuan Chun made him a concubine, and his grade is not as good as the original female history. Moreover, at this time, the civil and military of the Manchu Dynasty are all optimistic about the six, seven, eight or three. Prince, the same is true of the Jia family.

Therefore, when the news came from the palace, Mrs. Wang's complexion was ugly for several days. What kind of future would her daughter have if she became a concubine for the Ninth Prince? , a prince and side concubine is the end.
