Daiyu of the Red Chamber raised a cat

Sitting on the throne of the Golden Palace is a refined man, wearing a gold crown and a dragon robe, who was the one who gave Zhou Hang candied haws that day.At this moment, sitting upright, frowning slightly, holding the melody and reviewing it, he is more majestic, showing the air of a king.

This is Li Zhao, the current sage, who is 42 years old and has been enthroned for less than a year.

"Oh?" Li Zhao put down the imperial brush, raised his eyebrows slightly, and had a little joy in his eyes, "Present it quickly!"

Li Zhao was neither a descendant nor an elder, but ranked sixth and was named King of Chu.Originally, he was not destined to be a great person, but his eldest brother was established as a prince when he was three years old. He was extremely intelligent when he was young. The emperor loved him and often praised him. He has learned from ancient to modern times, has a lot of strategies in his belly, and handles state affairs in an orderly manner.However, he came from an extremely noble background, and under the protection of the Supreme Emperor, he entered the court at a young age to participate in politics, and solved several difficult problems one after another, and was praised by all officials. Although he was very talented, he was a bit arrogant.Over time, he offended many people, and after being lured by courtiers, he gradually became obsessed with his sensuality and distanced himself from the Supreme Emperor, causing more and more conflicts.

By the time of the emperor's sixtieth birthday, the former crown prince had already passed his age, and the root cause was damaged by indulging in pleasure, and he was already seriously ill.At that time, when the princes and princes saw that the Supreme Emperor was dissatisfied with the Crown Prince, they also fought openly and secretly, and the position of the East Palace was in jeopardy.Seeing that the Supreme Emperor is still strong and energetic, and the brothers are all sharpening their knives, the former prince can't help but become more and more anxious, lest he will miss the chance to be a prince for the rest of his life, coupled with the instigation of the officials of the East Palace, the lard has blinded his heart for a while , tried hard to force the palace to usurp the throne, but failed and was imprisoned.

After this incident, the Supreme Emperor was disheartened, and thoroughly investigated the clans of the princes. Those who were deposed were deposed, and those who were deposed were deposed. Only the King of Chu kept his own order, did not form cliques, did not engage in private interests, and did not sell officials. The aged emperor sighed. The next day, an edict was issued to make King Chu the crown prince.

Three years passed in a flash, and the body of the deeply hit Taishanghuang became heavier and heavier, and he was gradually unable to go to court.The emperor looked dignified, lofty and high-spirited, but it was actually a tiring job, not to mention anything else, just going to the morning court every day and adding the memorials from various places would make you dizzy.Unless the emperor is a stupid king, everything will be ignored, but the Supreme Emperor is not a stupid king.The memorial can be handled by the crown prince, but the emperor must be present in the early court. His health is too poor, and the last morning court seemed to cost him half his life.

After some careful consideration, the Supreme Emperor decided to abdicate to enjoy his old age.

Hearing the golden words of the Holy Majesty, the servant bowed and walked up the steps, knelt down and presented the secret report.Li Zhao took it in his hand, peeled off the sealant, and pulled out a stack of folded papers from the envelope, which was similar to a memorandum but not a memorandum, but it was a secret book for the secret guard.After watching it from beginning to end, my face was full of smiles for a while, and angry for a while.

The mood of the waiter on the side also changed rapidly.

"Wei Xing'an, tell me...are there ghosts in this world?"

"Long Live Lord..." Wei Xing'an, that is, the servant who just submitted the secret report, looked constipated, and said after holding back for a long time, "There should be..."

Li Zhao sighed, stared at Wei Xing'an for a while, until he couldn't help but raise his arm to wipe the cold sweat on his forehead, then pursed his lips, put down the secret book in his hand, narrowed his eyes slightly, and said with a sigh and aftertaste: "It would be great if there was..."

Last night, he had that dream again.In a dream, in a place surrounded by fairy mist, the woman he had missed for 16 years put a white, fat and cute baby like a fairy child in his arms, and said: Zhao, take good care of our son.Then, without even looking back, she disappeared into the mist accompanied by the feather robe and ribbon.Stretching out his hand to grab it, he obviously grabbed a piece of pocket, but it turned into thousands of light spots and disappeared in an instant.

Hong'er, Hong'er...

He yelled over and over again, he wanted to tell Hong'er that he was wrong, he regretted it, if he had a choice, he would not fight for the throne any more, he would just guard her, wander the world or live in seclusion in the mountains, he would listen to her .

But Hong'er didn't come back even after shouting loudly.

Looking down, the white and chubby little fairy boy also disappeared, replaced by a brown kitten looking at him with big wet eyes, as obedient as a little doll and lovable.And the appearance of the kitten is exactly the same as the kitten I met in the street outside the palace that day.

It would be fine if he had a strange dream once in a while, but in less than 20 days, he has had the same dream three times, even a coincidence cannot be justified.

Originally, Li Zhao had already sent someone to inquire when he returned to the palace that day. He happened to meet a motorcade that was patrolling Yanyan Yushi's Mansion in Yangzhou to pick up the girl home. The accompanying maid said that the kitten was raised by their sister.Although he likes that kitten very much, it already has an owner. He is a majestic ninety-five-year-old, and he will never snatch things from a little girl. Although he is a little regretful, he has no choice but to let this matter go.Unexpectedly, he had that strange dream that night, and when he woke up, he just shook his head and smiled, secretly thinking about it day and night, and not thinking much about it except for missing the woman in the dream even more.

People are suspicious, let alone the emperor.

Having had the same dream twice in a row, Li Zhao couldn't help it even if he didn't think too much about it.

Is there something wrong with that kitten?Could it be that Huier entrusted me with a dream?

So when he woke up today, he couldn't wait for a moment, and immediately asked someone to find out the origin of the kitten.The royal family's secret guards are not capable, so this investigation naturally found out about Jia's mansion, when he appeared, when he was adopted by Lin Daiyu, what crimes he suffered, what sufferings he suffered, and a series of other aspects, all of which were exhaustively detailed.By the way, more than a dozen kinds of illegal things such as corruption and bribery in Jia's mansion, mutual protection of officials and officials, champerty lawsuits, and usurious exploitation were found out, all of which were clearly listed one by one.

Li Zhao couldn't help being amused when he saw the kitten's daily amusing behavior in secret security, but he couldn't help but get angry when he saw the suffering and crimes the kitten had suffered, and Jia's many illegal behaviors.

So from Wei Xing'an's point of view, it is the sage who laughs for a while and gets angry for a while, and is moody.

Seeing that his master was lost in thought, Wei Xing'an tactfully put on a bowl of hot tea quietly, took a step back, and stood silently, without making a sound during the whole process.

Li Zhao punched the table with neither light nor heavy punch, the tea bowl shook twice, Wei Xing'an's body also shook twice.

"Hmph, it's time for these aristocratic families to be punished and punished, they are becoming more and more ignorant!"

Besides Daiyu, the boat finally arrived at a small town outside the city of Yangzhou after traveling for two days. It was already evening, and it was impossible to enter the city before dark.Li Feng sent someone to ask Daiyu whether to stop and rest overnight and go to the city tomorrow morning, or to go directly to the city at night without stopping.Daiyu had just finished listening to the girl's report, and before she could say anything, she heard a loud shout from outside: "Is this the boat patrolling Yan Yushilin's mansion?"

Immediately, the servants who followed him shouted back, and only after shouting a few times did they know.It turned out that Lin Ruhai sent to pick up Daiyu on the opposite side. He had been waiting for two days at the ferry, and saw two big boats coming today. He couldn't see the appearance of the person standing at the bow of the boat from a distance, but he could see it from a distance. The luxury of the boat was beyond the reach of ordinary wealthy families, and there was a carriage parked on the following boat, which was supposed to be the boat of the Lin family, so he yelled when he saw it from a distance.

Not long after the boat docked, a servant woman sent by Lin Ruhai came in to salute Daiyu, and said, "Miss, when the master sent someone over two days ago, he had already arranged a place to live. Before the old slave left, the master repeatedly asked, If it’s still early when the girl arrives, it’s okay to go directly to the city. If it’s late, you must rest for one night before going to the city. Although the father and daughter have not seen each other for many years, they miss them very much and wish they could see each other right away, but the girl’s body is important. If you have to tire the girl down to catch up with this idea, even the master will feel distressed when he sees it."

Daiyu stood and listened, and said with a smile, "Since my father ordered me to rest for one night before leaving, I will trouble my mother to run." Then she ordered Xueyan to reward her with a purse.

The old mother took the purse, but didn't back down, she just stared at Lin Daiyu, and the kitten in Lin Daiyu's arms seemed to be showing signs of blowing up.Lin Daiyu immediately felt Zhou Hang's change, and quickly patted the kitten's head to comfort her, while looking at the maid: "Is there anything else for this mother?"

The servant girl clapped her palms, bent her body, and confessed with a smile, "Forgive me, miss. She has become more and more mature in the past few years after she left, and she is even more beautiful than the fairy in the painting." At this point, the old slave couldn't bear to look away when he saw the girl, offended the girl, damn it!"

Daiyu saw that although the old mother was a bit vulgar, she was a bit straightforward and lovely, so she was not annoyed, she covered her mouth and gave Xueyan a wink.

Xueyan understood, and pulled the maid out, jokingly said: "Mom, you should go after finishing your work, we still have to wait for the girl to get off the boat."

Below is a very elegant courtyard, Daiyu lives in a small courtyard next to the garden.Although the yard is small and well-equipped, the entrance is a barrier, and a few stalks of green bamboos are planted beside the barrier, and a small garden is reflected in the curtain by bypassing the barrier, full of daffodils of different colors, small ponds, rockeries, small rivers, and A piece of grass, a few cranes drinking water by the pool, two fawns playing and chasing on the grass, a moon gate at the end of a small path, with windows of various shapes carved on the white powder wall beside it, and parrots hanging on the shelf Birds, thrushes, etc., pass through the moon gate and face the five main rooms, which is the residence.

Daiyu looked closely and found that everything was exquisite. Although it was not as luxurious and handsome as Rongfu's carved beams and painted buildings, it had an elegant and beautiful charm, which made people feel refreshed and happy.

Daiyu just settled down, had dinner, and was about to play with the kitten for a while, but heard a noise outside, and was about to send her maid to ask what was going on.Hearing the sound of hurried footsteps, a handsome man in brocade clothes and jade robes came in head-on.
