[Red Mansions] Lord Hou's daily routine

Lin Jian put the stack of military books in his hands into the cage, and walked to Lin Liang to pick up the playbook.

Seeing the playbook unfolding, Lin Jian quickly scanned the words and sentences on the playbook, and returned the playbook to Lin Liang after reading it: "Second brother has a brilliant literary talent, and his ability to turn facts around and catch shadows is by no means inferior to those solicitors in the court." , even stronger than those censors who are used to doing this in the Metropolitan Procuratorate. If this memorial is handed in, the Metropolitan Procuratorate will be very busy."

It's not just that the Metropolitan Procuratorate will investigate Shen Qiao based on this.

Lin Jian knew very well in his heart that once Lin Liang's memorabilia was handed over, it would cause an uproar in the court, and even a huge storm, and then push the conflict between their Lin family and the forces of the four kings and eight lords to the bright future. noodle.

After all, this memoir of the Lingnan magistrate's impeachment of the Lingnan general is rare.

When Lin Liang heard Lin Jian praise him, she couldn't help raising her eyebrows slightly. The words were kind, but they sounded so awkward.

He put the playbook back into his sleeve, and heard Lin Jian whisper: "Second brother, I can't avoid this experience, I guess I will suffer some grievances next time, you have guessed my thoughts, and If we want to present this performance to the Holy Father, we two brothers will attack the Holy Master and the Shen family together, I am afraid that the second brother will follow me and suffer some grievances."

Lin Liang remained motionless, and said in a low voice, "I know."

Lin Jian blinked: "Where is the second sister-in-law?"

Yan Shi is still pregnant, Lin Liang followed him and charged forward, when something happened, Lin Jian was afraid that Yan Shi's stimulation would affect her body.

Mentioning Yan Shi, Lin Liang's expression softened: "She's fine."

Lin Liangyi pointedly said, "At the beginning, someone made a move, and when the road was blocked by heavy snow, we couldn't come back to participate in your crowning ceremony. At that time, she was very calm and calm. In the future, she will I also understand it in my heart. Dr. Kuang said that she has been in good health since she was pregnant. Didn't you invite Mr. Qi to live in the mansion? You asked Mr. Qi to show her a few days ago. The baby is fine and so is she."

Lin Liang is very confident in his wife who has been with him for more than a year. He is mainly worried about Lin Jian, "Third brother, have you ever told Miss Lin about this?"

Lin Liang is not a talkative person, but he still worries about the matter between his younger brother and his sweetheart, "Miss Lin is not in good health, and now Mr. Qi is taking care of her health again, you have to come out with this matter , It's like a storm/wave, Miss Lin knows each other and cherishes you, and she will definitely worry about you."

Lin Jian smiled: "Second brother, Miss Lin is not in good health, but don't underestimate her too much. When the incident on Mengkong Mountain came out, I didn't avoid her after talking with my father. Actually speaking, Knowing that the previous matter is actually not over, and there is still a follow-up to the matter, she is the first person besides parents."

"Second brother, don't worry, Miss Lin is much stronger than you imagined."

Lin Liang said calmly: "It's known outside now that our father and Mr. Lin have an old relationship, so after the accident in Jia's mansion, Miss Lin took over our mansion. , It's all caused by you. You managed a lot for Miss Lin before. Everyone admires Miss Lin's talent, but she has lived in our house for a long time. If there is no result between the two of you, there will always be gossip outside. "

"Your father has something to say about delaying your marriage. Miss Lin is still in the period of filial piety, but this year the period of filial piety is coming. There have been examples of marriage engagements during the period of filial piety since ancient times. Miss Lin has reached the age of marriage. You protect her like this. You should also think about her. Lin Gong has a clear reputation in the literary world, and his orphan girl cannot be criticized because of his marriage."

Lin Jian narrowed his eyes, tapped the desk twice with his index finger, and said, "Second brother, if I really get engaged to Miss Lin at this time, then what happens next will affect her even worse. The struggle has never involved Korean and Chinese officials. You joined the group this time because of our own affairs. But at this time, it is really not suitable to be engaged to Miss Lin. I discussed it with my mother in private. When this matter is over, my mother will go Jia's mansion approached Miss Lin's grandmother to finalize the marriage."

"When the weather calms down and the wind/waves in Jia's house calm down, it's time to think about marriage."

Lin Liang thought for a while, and suddenly looked at Lin Jian: "North Korean officials never participated in military struggles. But when the dust settles on this matter, no matter what the result is, all civil officials in the court and even the local government will have to fight." I'm impressed with you."

Lin Jian just laughed when he heard the words, but didn't say any more.

According to Lin Jian's arrangement, Qian Ying continued to find someone to spread those rumors in private.This time, according to Lin Jian's instructions, the people who spread the rumors left many traces, so that those who are interested can find out that this is something Lin Jian sent people to do in private.

The fact that Lin Hong was rewarded to live in the general's mansion was positively evaluated by the people in the capital. For this general who was disabled for half his life to pacify the great Zhou Dynasty, the people hoped that the court would treat him kindly.

On the contrary, among the dignitaries and officials, because of the frequent rumors about Lin Jian, Lin Hong got support again, which caused an uproar among the officials in the court.

Xiao Yu got orders from Emperor Chengsheng earlier. In addition to being busy handling government affairs with Emperor Chengsheng these days, he screened the past memorials for Emperor Chengsheng, especially the memorials about the past military affairs in Lingnan. Xiao Yu only needs to see , will be picked out and sent to Emperor Chengsheng.

Last time, he told Emperor Chengsheng about Lin Jian spreading rumors in private. Although Emperor Chengsheng had something to say, he still couldn't figure out what attitude Emperor Chengsheng had. After Emperor Chengsheng issued the imperial decree, Lin Jian let out rumors again and continued to add fuel to the flames on the basis of the original rumors.

When Xiao Yu heard the news, he hesitated briefly.

When he told Emperor Chengsheng about this last time, he couldn't figure out what Emperor Chengsheng was thinking. Xiao Yu could also see that his father actually didn't like Lin Jian doing this, so this Once, Xiao Yu could almost foresee that if he told Emperor Chengsheng about this matter again, Emperor Chengsheng would be displeased.

But Xiao Yu hesitated for a while, and decided to say it after a while.

He found out about this, but he didn't talk about it. If he was robbed by others, he would talk about it in front of Emperor Chengsheng first. If he was hostile to the Lin family and Lin Jian, he might say something in front of Emperor Chengsheng.

If he said it himself, he could defend Lin Jian and persuade Emperor Chengsheng to let him calm down. If someone else said it, Emperor Chengsheng would feel bad for the Lin family and the Lin family.If so, the consequences would be unimaginable.

After making up his mind, Xiao Yu took the dozen or so memorials he had just found out to the Hall of Qinzheng to ask to see Emperor Chengsheng.

Xiao Yu was afraid of disturbing Emperor Chengsheng's handling of government affairs, so he waited until the end of Shenshi to go to Qinzheng Hall.At this time, all the ministers have passed the time to meet Emperor Chengsheng. If they want to meet the emperor, unless they are specially called, generally speaking, this hour is the time for Emperor Chengsheng to rest.

Xiao Yu took the memorial to the outside of the Hall of Qinzheng, but unexpectedly saw Deping, who was personally serving Emperor Chengsheng, standing outside the door.

Xiao Yu stepped forward, and Deping rushed to meet him, Xiao Yu raised his hand to let Deping, who was saluting him, stand up, then looked at the quiet and quiet hall and said, "Eunuch, has the father already rested?" ?”

De Ping said: "Your Highness, the Holy Majesty was in a bad mood and said he wanted to be alone for a while, so he kicked the old slave out."

Xiao Yu hurriedly asked why.

Deping said in a low voice: "Just now, Master Lin, the prefect of Lingnan, came to present a memorial to the Holy Spirit."

Deping told Xiao Yu that the memorial was for the impeachment of Lingnan General Shen Qiao.

Deping said: "The Holy Majesty's expression was not good when he read the memorial. He talked with Master Lin for a while, and he became more and more angry as he talked. Afterwards, he drove Master Lin away with a livid face. Get off. After Master Lin left, the Holy Majesty drove the old slave out, saying that he wanted to be alone for a while."

Deping was the eunuch who served Emperor Chengsheng personally and was also the head of Qinzheng Palace. It is reasonable to say that the affairs between Emperor Chengsheng and the ministers should not be told to others, even if this person is the prince.

But looking at Emperor Chengsheng, Deping was very angry. He was afraid that there would be some discord between Emperor Chengsheng and the Lin family that would affect the overall situation, and he was also afraid that Emperor Chengsheng would be angry because of this. Persuasion, thinking about Xiao Yu's status as the crown prince and Xiao Yu's relationship with the Lin family, he thought about telling Xiao Yu about this matter, maybe Xiao Yu could persuade him.

Xiao Yu's heart sank when he heard the situation, he thought, Lin Liang is fine, why did he go to impeach Shen Qiao?

Lin Liang targeted Shen Qiao, could it be that Lin Jian asked him to do it?Is it possible that Lin Jian is really going to do what the rumors say, to be the first to deal with the four kings and eight princes, the Xining County Prince's Mansion, and the Shen family?

The more Xiao Yu thought about it, the more he felt that the matter was of great importance, but he also understood the urgency of the matter, so he suppressed the many doubts in his heart, and Wen Yan asked Deping to report: "Father wants to be alone, so he shouldn't disturb each other. But please let me know. If the father is willing to see me, I will persuade the father to calm down."

Seeing that Xiao Yu came with a stack of memorials, Deping also knew that he had something to ask to see Emperor Chengsheng. Deping asked Xiao Yu to wait a moment. When he went to report, he did not say that Xiao Yu was here to persuade Emperor Chengsheng Instead, Xiao Yu wanted to see something.

Emperor Chengsheng was angry, but not so angry that he refused to see his son.

But the hall was silent for a while, and then Chengsheng Emperor's faint voice came: "Call the prince to come in."

Emperor Chengsheng only asked Xiao Yu to go in, but Deping didn't dare to follow. He just sent Xiao Yu to the front of the hall and stopped. After Xiao Yu entered the hall, Deping closed the door again, and then stood there quietly By the door.

Now it's spring, the charcoal basin in the hall has long been removed, and the spring evening is also full of vitality and warmth.

As soon as Xiao Yu came in, he saw Emperor Chengsheng standing in front of the partition pane, the window sash was open, and his father was looking out of the window with his hands behind his back.

Behind the Palace of Qinzheng is a large square, and after passing a palace, it is the Sixth Palace.Xiao Yu didn't know where Emperor Chengsheng was looking, but from this angle, the palaces of his mother and concubine Shen could be seen.

In a blink of an eye, Xiao Yu saw a peach blossom branch in full bloom in the white porcelain vase on the table in front of the pane.

He remembered that the early spring peach blossoms in his mother's concubine's palace were in bloom right now.
