Prince of the Red Chamber wins rebirth

Capital, Meng Mansion.

Since entering the capital, there have been a lot of posts every day, and there are various door-to-door requests. Fortunately, the atmosphere in the capital is not right recently, so there is no daily entertainment. Meng Lin is extremely impatient, but he can't refuse all of them. He is thinking In the meantime, the butler came in lightly, "Master, the boy outside the door received another post, it was from the Rongguo Mansion, and the person who delivered the post has not left yet, so I asked him to drink tea at the concierge."

Rongguo Mansion, now the center of gossip in the capital, is full of rumors, making people feel like looking at flowers in a fog.

Meng Lin thought about it in his heart, opened the post in his hand and looked at it, but it was written like that. It was nothing more than hearing that Shi Bo returned to Beijing. I heard that Mrs. Meng has returned to Beijing. She has been a close friend for many years. I hope to get together again, and there are some other gifts.

He is neither humble nor overbearing, and has a bit of a literati's character, which makes people have to take a high look, and said to the housekeeper: "Call the messenger over here, and I will ask him face to face."

The person who can take on this important task must be Lin Shen, the chief steward of Rongguo Mansion. After entering, he politely greeted and said hello, "The little master heard that you were going back to the capital, so he ordered the young one to come over early to say hello, and see if there is anything I can do to help you." In addition, the old lady in the mansion used to have friendship with the old lady of your mansion. If it is convenient, we might as well get together that day. Originally, there is a filial piety in the family, so it is not convenient for people to walk around at will, so I did not come to visit. "

After hearing this, Meng Lin had a very good impression of Jia She. Just based on what the butler said, he knew that the little Rong Guogong was not the kind of dandy who would just eat and wait to die. Thinking of this, he opened his mouth and said: "Nephew Xian really sees outsiders too much. There are no outsiders in this mansion. Wait a minute and let him come and walk around often."

Looking at Meng Lin's expression, Lin Shen knew that the errand had not been messed up, so he looked happily, and returned to the mansion with the reward purse, and dealt with the matter one by one.

Jia Amnesty nodded slightly, and glanced at the purse and the silver coin inside, "Your steward has worked hard, go to the cashier to get 20 taels of silver, and go drink tea! The boys who went with you are five hundred coins each. for."

Lin Shen hurriedly said, "It's a great job to be able to run errands for the master."

"You housekeeper is really a ghost." Yang Mu turned around and came out from the room.

Jia She said with a smile, "It's just that I've rectified the house a few times and learned to be good." Holding a teacup to Yang Mu, "There is a sense of alienation in Meng Lin's words, I'm afraid it will be difficult. It's over, in this weather, it's not easy for an old man to travel far, that's enough."

Yang Mu raised his eyebrows and said, "It's just going out of the city, can you use the word 'far door'?"

Tilting his head, he blinked mysteriously at Jia Sheshen and said: "Except for those who hid, most of the female family members in the palace were murdered. The Holy Majesty will appease them." Especially these people are all for the Queen Mother The empress was used as a shield to get murdered, and she was deceived, not voluntarily.

How can any official be willing to be an official? The purpose of being an official is to let the whole family enjoy the glory and wealth. No one wants to die. Those who die are the family members of officials below the third rank. There are so many people. Presumably, when Mrs. Meng enters the palace to pay a visit, the Empress Dowager will say a few words.

Jia Amnesty still frowned, "What if? It's not necessary to come to our house to appease you. After all, you have filial piety. Don't tell me Mrs. Meng is not worried about bad luck."

Yang Mu smiled and said: "It is precisely because your family is observing filial piety that Mrs. Meng came back. The form of the court is still unknown. If you go to someone you shouldn't go to and get assigned to a certain party, it will be miserable. Your family has filial piety, so naturally you won't get involved, and when people talk about it, they can only say that the Meng family values ​​friendship."

Jia She thought about it back and forth, "This is indeed the best way." Then he asked, "What's the matter with the empress dowager's guilt? It's just some orders, and it's just a matter of preventing disasters for the superiors. An honor?"

"The bad thing is here. Not everyone thinks it's an honor. There was an old man who died when he entered the palace for the first time. His son was a filial son. Then he was filled with righteous indignation and wrote an article. The empress dowager has to start trying to appease her." Tsk tut and sighed: "After all, you are a scholar, the writing style, the allusions used, make people feel a deep sense of sympathy when reading it, poor empress dowager, a merciful lifetime The reputation has been ruined, and there are still people in the court who are clamoring for the empress dowager to issue an edict to sin against herself, and what's more, they want to ask the emperor to take the empress dowager's honor!"

Jia She's face was full of astonishment, "I'm afraid I can't condescend! After all, it belongs to the Holy Majesty..., yes," Yang Mu finally said, "It's just the Holy Majesty's concubine. She has no kindness to the Majesty, nor does she have any kindness to the Majesty. It's just Back then, the Empress Dowager's natal family was extremely powerful, and the Holy Majesty had just ascended the throne, so it was just an expedient measure to appease the relatives."

Moreover, the mother of the abolished prince, the Empress Dowager is the niece of the Empress Dowager, the Holy Majesty is venting his anger, justly venting his anger.How could the ministers object? The queen mother's natal family is in decline, and there are not many people who can take action. Moreover, in private, the ministers all think that the queen mother must have some actions and support during the prince's rebellion. The family members were sent together to avoid the rebels, and there were many doubts. After all, after all the family members arrived in the secret room, they did not see the empress dowager. At that time, where did the empress dowager go in such a dangerous time?Why it disappeared is a question.

Moreover, news came from the palace that the Empress Dowager is now "critically ill", and the imperial doctor said that "anger is attacking the heart, and evil winds are entering the body", so there must be no chance of turning things around.

The Holy Majesty's attitude is ambiguous now, but all the ministers who proposed to condescend are the Holy Majesty's confidantes. Anyone with a discerning eye knows that this is what the Holy Majesty meant.

After Jia Amnesty listened, he couldn't help asking: "Your Majesty has been able to let the Empress Dowager stay in this position for so many years, so naturally he won't do anything to the Empress Dowager casually. Why is the Empress Dowager no longer able to bear it? You must know that the Majesty is also at the age of knowing the destiny." Well, in a few years, when the prince succeeds to the throne, his mother clan will still be able to enjoy unlimited glory."

Yang Mudao: "Who knows about this matter, the civil and military forces of the Manchu dynasty have tried their best but have not been able to figure out the problem. It is a pity that the deposed prince is already dead, and the Holy Majesty sees that the prince and the son are young, so he can't bear to be harsh, otherwise he can ask something. what come?"

Jia She said: "What about the Feather Guards? Did you find anything during the interrogation? And the servants around the prince?"

Yang Mu shook his head solemnly, "The commander of the Feather Guards committed suicide by taking poison, and the remaining little Xiami didn't know anything. As for the palace people, they didn't know anything. Willing to hurt the prince's face."

The guards and eunuchs who served the prince were taken away by the secret guards for more than half a month, and they didn't ask anything, and they were handed back to the Ministry of Punishment. Tang let out a sigh of relief, still didn't know anything, there were only two possibilities, either he really didn't know, the crown prince didn't let them participate in this matter; .

If it’s the first type, it’s still normal. If it’s the second type, then these people are too stupid. Their masters are dead and there is no place to bury them. Having said that, I can get a happy ending and save myself from suffering every day.

The two discussed for a long time, but they couldn't get the point, so they simply changed the topic.

After Yang Mu and Jia She had lunch together, Yang Mu left Zhuangzi and returned to the city. After all, there will be a court meeting tomorrow, and he cannot be absent during this sensitive period.

In the early court, there was a quarrel as usual, and finally the Holy Majesty made a final decision.The matter of abolishing the prince is not expanding the scope of investigation, so far the case is closed.

The Holy Majesty personally issued the "Edict of Guilt", and announced it to the world, officially announcing the prince's rebellion to the public.Everyone in the Prince's Yuwei Army was sentenced to death, and the establishment system was abolished.

Everyone in the womb of the Tai Tai will be buried alive.

I read father and son together, nearly 30 years of love, and couldn't bear to be alone, so I specially buried the prince's side concubine and concubines, and left the abolished prince and concubine to raise the children, hoping to be a great talent for the country.

The prince's mother's family helped the king to abuse the king, and his behavior was heinous. The nine clans should have been punished, but God had the virtue of good life, so he punished the three clans instead.

The clan's mansion ordered all the clans involved in this matter to be dispatched to the bitter cold place in northern Xinjiang - Hei Dao, where they would not be pardoned.

There was also an edict that the empress dowager was not feeling well and moved to the imperial mausoleum to recuperate.It is not good for the slaves in the palace to serve the master, and they will all be sentenced to death.

The relatives of the ministers and workers who were killed this time will all follow the imperial order and advance to the posthumous title.

The wives in the harem all fasted and worshiped the Buddha, prayed for all living beings, and became vegetarians for half a year.

In addition, the Ministry of Rites and Qin Tianjian choose auspicious days to comfort the ancestors of heaven and earth.

==================

With a decree, all the ministries started to work, and Yang Mu didn't have time to see Jia Amnesty.Every day, I help to draft the decree-chasing the decree, the whole text is virtuous and virtuous, virtuous and dignified, and manages the family well.The harmed Yang Mu felt a little disgusted when he heard these words.

Moreover, Yang Mu discovered that this Jia Daihua was not useless, at least he worked extremely hard in the Ministry of Rites, and went door to door to attend funerals every day, without the slightest bit of impatience, on the contrary, he comforted the family of the deceased and made people I admire this eloquence.

Often after a meal of consolation, coupled with the posthumous imperial decree, this family is only grateful, and it seems that they are eager to die a few more, so that they can get this dignity.Coupled with Jia Daihua's long-sleeved and good dancers, this task is not very difficult.

Yang Mu scolded "Old Fox" in his mind, he would sing whatever song he went to, and he would always look smiling on the road, and when he arrived at the place, he would immediately look at his concubine, and then comfort him with earnest words. The storyteller speaks well.
