[Red Mansions] Lord Hou's daily routine

Before Qian Ying could say the name of this person, Lin Jian waved his hand, raised his eyebrows and smiled after he paused: "I guess, this person is Jia Yuanchun, the eldest daughter of the Rongguo Mansion, who is now in the palace. Your good concubine, right?"

Qian Ying was startled, then nodded and said, "The young master guessed right."

Lin Jian's eyes fell on the Haitang poetry collection in his hand again, and he curled his lips and said, "Although the Holy Majesty has not said it clearly, but in order to avoid trouble, no one in the government and the opposition will take the initiative to mention the eldest prince's treason unless they have to. Of course, the few families involved in the rebellion on New Year's Eve, including the Rongguo Mansion, can not be mentioned without mentioning it."

"Now this collection of poems does not shy away from this matter at all. It speaks bluntly about the origin of the Haitang Poetry Club and picks out the past events of the Rongguo Mansion. It just caused some commotion in the public. There are many discussions in the public. How have you ever seen the government Did you come out and say something?"

"Just this point shows that the people who published this collection of poems still have some background, either they are people that the government doesn't want to provoke, or the higher-ups acquiesce, so the government doesn't care. Think about it, Rongguo Mansion is now in decline, Among the girls who lived in the Rongguo Mansion, which one is capable of doing such a thing without being banned by the government? There is only one virtuous concubine."

The results Qian Ying found were exactly as Lin Jian expected.

He started his investigation from the bookstore that sold the collection of poems, and found the person who produced the collection of poems by following the clues: "No wonder my subordinates didn't bother to find the person who produced the collection of poems. Now that I think about it, it's true what the young master said Similarly, the people behind this scene are indeed people that the government does not want to provoke, moreover, no one cares about this concubine's release of this collection of Haitang poems, which is obviously acquiesced by the higher-ups."

Qian Ying said so, but he also couldn't figure it out: "Concubine Xian has always been unknown in the palace these years and is not outstanding, and she is not very conspicuous in the Shengshang. When the accident happened in Rongguo Mansion, even if Concubine Xian is pregnant , but she also acted in a low-key way in the palace, and she was very silent for a while. Why did she start this collection of poems now? Could it be that she also wanted to follow suit?"

"Others don't mention the matter of Rongguo Mansion, but the Holy Majesty allowed Concubine Xian to publish a collection of poems to briefly mention it. Could it be that Concubine Xian was pregnant in the past, so he treated her extra leniently?"

Qian Ying felt that although Prince Rui's rebellion and chaos had passed, the turmoil did not stop, so Concubine Xian should not be too flamboyant.But in the end, Concubine Xian entered the palace a few years ago, and what Rongguo Mansion did has nothing to do with Concubine Xian. Although Rongguo Mansion is Concubine Xian's natal family, Concubine Xian will not be too implicated, she is pregnant But he was forced to keep a low profile, thinking that Emperor Chengsheng felt that he had wronged her a few days ago, so he leniented her on the matter of Haitang poetry collection and didn't care about it.

Lin Jian smiled, and asked Qian Ying: "The case of Xue Pan and Jia Zheng should be investigated almost, right? Has the Ministry of Criminal Justice come up with a result?"

Qian Ying nodded and said: "The results just came out two days ago. Xue Pan was sentenced to beheaded and executed in the autumn. Jia Zheng was dismissed and investigated. The rest of the intervening case will have their own disposal."

"That's it,"

Lin Jian said, "Xue Pan's visit has seriously hurt the Xue family's vitality. He is the only son in his family. Once he is gone, the name of the imperial merchant may not be able to be retained. But I heard that there is another son in his family. With a cousin who can handle affairs, the Xue family can only rely on his younger brother for support. The Jia family can't take care of themselves, and in the future, what happens to the Xue family can only depend on their own luck."

"Jia Zheng has lost his official position and is at home. He was dismissed because of his involvement in the case. His Majesty did not criticize him too much in view of his predecessors' military achievements, but I don't know when this alternate recovery will take place. It will be two or three years now. Certainly not. No one in the second house of Jia's family is an official in the court, so the days to come will certainly not be as good as before."

"Think about it, Concubine Xian, as the eldest daughter of the Jia family, can she just watch the two families with whom she has a deep relationship decline like this? She must think of a way."

Lin Jian put the collection of Begonia poems in his hand on the table, and said in a low voice, "Is the day when Jia Baoyu and Miss Xue's marriage is set to come soon? This concubine is not allowed to be involved in politics, and a virtuous concubine is not favored in the palace. Although she is pregnant, in order to keep her status and live a good life in the palace, she cannot and will not do such extraordinary things. She is a talented concubine who married a family for the former sisters. It is not impossible to sell poetry collections outside.”

"She printed the collection of Haitang's poems at this juncture, seemingly for the sake of following others, but in fact she is trying to make a name for the daughter of the Xue family who is about to become her sister-in-law, as well as the wife of General Lingnan, who is half-brother The third younger sister became famous."

Lin Jian turned his eyes and took a deep look at Qian Ying: "Families like the Four Kings and Eight Dukes have been passed down for hundreds of years, and their history is longer than the founding of the Great Zhou Dynasty. There are far more details about them than what you can see. It is easy to wipe out their power, but it is impossible to wipe out the grass and roots. It is impossible to completely overthrow them and make them unable to recover. Even if the emperor is the emperor, then, in order to let them If they grow within a controllable range, we can't be too harsh on them at this time."

"Thunder, rain and dew are all God's grace. The Holy Majesty will be merciful and strict. As long as they don't stand out in martial arts, but in literary matters, the Holy Majesty will let them go."

Qian Yingdao: "But, young master, if this collection of Begonia's poems continues, there is no guarantee that it will not be known by Miss Lin. The young master thinks that this matter should be kept from Miss Lin? Besides, the subordinates have heard the discussion outside, and now they are talking about it. Although there are fewer, there are still some. It is said that the three girls in Jia's mansion, who is now the wife of General Lingnan, and the girl from the Xue family are as talented as Miss Lin. If they go on like this for a long time, their reputation may not be as good as that of Miss Lin. Miss Lin has the same name."

Lin Jian laughed when he heard this, he glanced at Qian Ying, and said casually: "Do you think it's a good thing that Miss Lin's literary name is outstanding in the capital? If it's a good thing, why bother to include noble concubines in the Lintai Concentration?" What about the articles of the princess and the wives? The road in the world is very broad, and it is not for one person to walk. Miss Lin is famous, so can we not allow others to be famous?"

"You don't need to worry about this collection of Begonia poems. You don't have to hide it from Miss Lin. If Miss Lin asks, just tell the truth. Miss Lin suffered a lot of grievances in Rongguo Mansion, but she can remember the period in the Poetry Club." It may not be that unbearable, there are some good memories when you think about it. You don’t need to talk about it like this. The Holy Concubine wants to be fulfilled, let’s just pretend that we don’t know."

Lin Jian wanted to go out alone to run errands without Qian Ying, and it took him some time to gossip with Qian Ying. He was about to go out here, and suddenly remembered something, and asked Qian Ying: "Are there still rumors about me now? ?”

Qian Ying shook her head and said no more: "After the dossier of the Metropolitan Procuratorate came out, few people said that anymore. The young master said earlier that those rumors were deliberately led behind the scenes. Now our people are also secretly leading them, all saying The young master is good, so naturally there will be no rumors about the young master."

Lin Jian lowered his eyes and smiled, stood by the door with his hands behind his back and looked out of the court, and said in a low voice, "Do you think that once the files from the Metropolitan Procuratorate come out, you can no longer create rumors about me?"

"I disregarded the Holy Majesty's wishes at the court meeting and forced the Holy Majesty to release the complete file of the Metropolitan Procuratorate. They had spread rumors to sow the relationship between me and the Holy Majesty. In fact, the complete file can be published even if the Holy Majesty allowed it. They can also continue to provoke the relationship between me and the Holy One on the grounds that I do not follow His Majesty's will. After this incident, although it proves that the Holy Majesty is willing to use this method to clear my reputation, as long as they persevere and continue to confuse everyone with rumors, it may not be possible. You can’t leave some traces in the heart of the Holy One. You must know that the embankment of a thousand miles was destroyed by an ant nest, and they have been destroying me for years, so it may not be useless. But they did not do so.”

Qian Yingdao: "Young master has been planning for half a year, and now the forces of the four kings and eight lords have not been wiped out. The previous rumors were secretly and deliberately led by someone, and now our people are also secretly acting, but we were originally ignorant of those people on the other side. It's all gone without a trace, and no clues can be found. They have indeed withdrawn. It is impossible to say that the rest of the people have no thoughts about the young master, but they just stopped, as if those rumors were a It's a farce, after being unexpectedly broken by the young master, they seem to have no countermeasures."

Lin Jian smiled lightly: "Who said they didn't arrange a countermeasure?"

"If the rumors have not been broken by me, the consequences can be imagined. But if the rumors are broken by me, once my reputation improves, do you think it is a good thing? Think about it for yourself, once what I am going to do now is done Fa, won't the people outside talk about my Lin family again? What they want may not be this troubled situation. Even if I don't take this road, I will be forced by them sooner or later."

Qian Yingdao: "Fortunately, the young master is a master of chess and thought of this move early. Otherwise, it would be hard to say."

Lin Jian smiled slightly, and raised his eyes to look at the floating clouds slowly passing by in the sky: "In the blink of an eye, it will be the 31st year of Chengsheng. In the blink of an eye, ten years have passed, and the one who has served the Buddha for ten years in Wutai Mountain has been quietly fasting and serving the Buddha for ten years." , and is about to go back to the capital. When that one comes back, why do they need to come forward? They don't need to arrange for this back move, isn't this already waiting there?"

Qian Ying pursed her lips, and said softly, "Master, you mean the Queen Mother?"

Lin Jian slowly lowered the corners of his raised lips, his eyes reflected the clouds flowing in the sky, he emphasized a little bit: "Yes, what I'm talking about is the Queen Mother Shen."

Qian Ying was silent for a moment before saying: "If the queen mother comes back, then His Royal Highness Duan Wang—"

Lin Jian narrowed his eyes slightly, and a vague look slowly appeared in his eyes: "Naturally, Prince Duan will come back with him."
