[Red Mansions] Lord Hou's daily routine

All the way to the gate of the palace, Lin Jian saw a dozen or so ministers who had entered the palace together.

The catastrophe that happened the night before really shocked everyone. Even though the turmoil/turmoil had subsided, the funeral was about to be dealt with, but everyone was so frightened that they never recovered even after a day and a night.

Among the hundreds of civil and military officials who are eligible to join the Great Court, most of the military commanders' mansions have withstood the attack of the Rushi Sect mob, but the civil officials are different.In this catastrophe, dozens of civil servants died under the butcher knife of the Rushi Sect mob.

The civilian officials who survived by luck were quite afraid. Emperor Chengsheng did not cancel this grand court meeting, and they dared not resist the order if they were not injured, but they did not dare to go on the road alone, so they could only gather together At the office, we all have the courage to come to court together, so that we can feel more at ease.

Originally, in the streets and alleys, there were people from the Patrol Battalion, the Garrison Battalion, and the Wucheng Bingma Division to deal with the funeral and maintain order. After seeing these heavily armed soldiers, the hearts of these civil officials were a little more stable.

In the catastrophe the night before, relying solely on the patrol battalion, the garrison battalion and the soldiers from the five cities and horses was not enough to win. In the end, it was Lin Jian and the thousands of soldiers he brought who were able to suppress the thugs taught in this way and finally save the capital.

Everyone has seen these things, and no one needs to publicize them. Everyone knows that this time, it was the leader Lin Jianlin of the Gyeonggi Camp who saved everyone from the fire and water.

In the emperor's heart, Lin Jianjian is quite valued by the Chengsheng Emperor. He has always been a hot figure in the capital, but because of his bold and unrestrained style, everyone has seen what he does in the past year. Because, I can't figure out his mind, and I have a lot of thoughts in my heart, but I don't get close to him very much.

Later, he was promoted to the commander of Gyeonggi Daying. This is an official who is responsible for guarding the safety of the capital and Gyeonggi, and he can no longer form a party for personal gain.Everyone cherished their feathers, and they were afraid that the Metropolitan Procuratorate and Emperor Chengsheng would know that they had formed a party. Therefore, they were even less close to Lin Jian.

But this is an extraordinary period, and everyone was frightened by the thugs taught in this way. When they reached the gate of the palace city, they could smell the faint smell of blood still lingering in the air. But as soon as they saw Lin Jian getting off the Lin family's carriage, everyone secretly breathed a sigh of relief for some reason.

In order to seek a sense of security, the civil servants unconsciously followed Lin Jian and walked into the palace gate together with him.

The military generals who were a little more than the civil officials followed behind, not as close to Lin Jian, nor as close to Lin Jian as the civil officials.

Ying Tianyi was also in the ranks of civil servants. He was not too close to Lin Jian, but his eyes fell on Lin Jian from time to time, and his eyes were mostly concerned.

Everyone had already entered the palace, and each went to the palace. The palace city was very quiet in the night, and no one spoke on the palace road. Even if Ying Tianyi wanted to have a few words with Lin Jian, in such a situation Under the circumstances, it is not easy to speak.

On the contrary, Lin Jian noticed Ying Tianyi's gaze, and found an opportunity to meet Ying Tianyi's gaze. He nodded slightly and smiled, his eyes were clear and stable, signaling Ying Tianyi not to worry.

Afterwards, even though Lin Jian could see the dependence of the civil servants on him, he never looked into the eyes of any one of them, but still walked in the front, with his back straight, and his steps were neither fast nor slow, as if he wanted to take care of the people behind him.

It was still early, and the night was still dark. The palace attendants leading the way held palace lanterns in their hands, and everyone entered the palace together. There were also several palace attendants who followed the crowd to light up the lamps, but the lights were dim. Even the lighting could only illuminate the road in front of me, and all I could see in the distance was the thick and blurry night, and no one looked around.

Lin Jian walked on the palace road without looking sideways, his eyes drooping slightly, hiding the deep thought in his eyes.

There are many strange things in this turmoil. Even if the thugs of the teaching are crazy, there are also very secret discoveries in it.

For example, there are obviously fewer civil servants than military officials who came to attend the court meeting today.

Hundreds of civil and military officials went to the court together. Although it is not as accurate as 50 people each, the number is still the same. After the chaos, the number of people is not equal, and the spirit is also much worse.

The military officers are alright, but the civil servants are a little sluggish.

Lin Jian's eyes were deep. If the thugs taught in this way attacked the mansions of the officials in the capital the night before, the defense of the civil servant's mansion was naturally different from that of the military officer's mansion, and there were some heavy casualties.

But as far as Lin Jian knew, there were not many military officers who had solved their own crisis and then helped the civil servants who were trapped in the crisis when they taught this way the night before. In Jian's heart, he looked over one by one, and he was familiar with those people, and they all had one thing in common, so they were not of the same family.

The people of the four princes and eight males never helped anyone in such a chaotic night, but they just cleaned the door for themselves.

The thugs taught by Rushi seemed to attack everyone indiscriminately in the massacre the night before, but in fact, according to the news that Lin Jian sent Qian Ying to find out, those thugs attacked the civil official's mansion much more ferociously than the military official's mansion , especially those who are not close to the family of the four kings and eight princes, those thugs are even more ruthless. Many people's houses were directly broken into and killed dozens of people, and only a few people were alive.

This kind of thing was originally an act of fishing in troubled waters on such a chaotic night, and it was impossible to find out at all, but Lin Jian tried his best to ask Qian Ying to find out all aspects of the matter, so the matter was settled. , Lin Jian here also knows it well.

If it is really the people taught by the previous dynasty who have been hiding their strengths and bide their time for ten years, and now they have a shocking blow, how can they miss this opportunity to overthrow the dynasty in the massacre?

Now that such a strange thing is found out, either, it is because the people who taught in the previous dynasty colluded with some people in the capital, so they secretly released water to protect their accomplices.

Or, it is that these people who teach in this way are not people from the previous dynasty at all, but someone impersonated and used other people's name to do some shady deeds in private.

Lin Jian finished his errands yesterday, and he could go back to his house to rest for a day, but Emperor Chengsheng couldn't rest at all here.

He had been busy all day yesterday, and only in the evening did he have time to go to the Empress's place. He had dinner with the Empress, and only after a quarter of an hour had he had a rest, and then there were notebooks and local reports. Emperor Chengsheng was a busy man. The emperor who is in charge of politics, and now it is such a special time, Emperor Chengsheng must not be able to let go.

For Emperor Chengsheng last night, it was another sleepless night.

Calculated in this way, Emperor Chengsheng has not rested for two days and two nights.Emperor Chengsheng dealt with the matter before and after the ugly time. At that time, Deping felt sorry for Emperor Chengsheng who had not rested, so he persuaded Emperor Chengsheng to take a rest before the start of the pilgrimage, but Emperor Chengsheng did not No, I have finished reading the memorial and the local newspaper, but the news from the Prince of Huaiyin has not yet been sent, and Emperor Chengsheng is deeply attached to the Prince, so how can he rest in peace?

In the end, I just used some refreshments, went to get a few books and opened them in my hands, and waited for the time for the court meeting to arrive, and then went directly to the court hall.

Rao's body is made of iron, and the two days and two nights of staying up are exhausting, not to mention Emperor Chengsheng is about to turn [-], and it has been a bit of a bitter summer recently. Not even in good spirits.

As soon as he sat down on the dragon chair, before he could take a look at the officials in the hall, he burst into an uncontrollable cough.

All the ministers looked at Emperor Chengsheng, Emperor Chengsheng didn't want to do this in public, he just suppressed the cough in his throat, and after a while, he looked at the ministers and said lightly: "There are many things in recent days, and we have to discuss it at the court meeting. There are many things. But I don’t want to hear anything today, so let’s talk about what I taught last night.”

Emperor Chengsheng coughed and was not in good spirits, but he never mentioned these things in front of his ministers, and the ministers could not take the initiative to bring them up. It was because Prime Minister Yu was a veteran of the court, and he was worried that Emperor Chengsheng's body would follow up with a few words. Emperor Chengsheng said to take care of the dragon's body, but Emperor Chengsheng waved his hand and asked Yu Cheng to discuss the matter.

"As I said, today I will only talk about the teaching of the case. Others, there is no need to talk about it."

After Emperor Chengsheng finished speaking, he directly called Lin Jian's name, and asked Lin Jian to tell all the officials before and after this teaching, and then asked them to discuss.

The influence of this kind of teaching is extremely bad. For such a thing to happen, one is that the people who teach like this have been planning for a long time, and the other is because the government and the opposition have this loophole for those who are willing to take advantage of it. Such a disaster.

If not, then how can the people who teach in this way pretend to be ordinary monks, break through the checkpoints and go directly to the capital to make trouble?

Although Emperor Chengsheng was worried about the things taught in this way, he was still angry because of the sudden arousal of this matter in his heart.

If it wasn't for some people who were doing things in secret, how could there be such a large number of casualties?

It's not a pity that the people taught in this way are stubborn and stubborn to resist and die, but those soldiers, common people, and his courtiers really died innocently.

Lin Jian finished talking about the past and the past, and let the officials understand the current situation. Emperor Chengsheng was angry when he heard it, and he could hold back his temper before speaking, but when he got excited, he still couldn't help pointing at the noses of the officials He let out the anger in his heart.

The ministers managed to escape from death, and they had to bear the anger of Emperor Chengsheng. Naturally, they were sincere and fearful, and the anger of Emperor Chengsheng was not aimed at them, but also to relieve their anxiety a little.

Those who have never done this will not listen to it, but if they really did something secretly, they really don't know how they feel when they hear Emperor Chengsheng's angry reprimand.

Emperor Chengsheng wanted to investigate the responsibility, and he also wanted to reward the ministers who had contributed to the rescue.

But this time, the government and the people suffered heavy casualties. This is a national commemoration. Before the matter is fully resolved, or before the pain of the government and the people has not been relieved, the award will be postponed.

Emperor Chengsheng expressed such meaning, and the ministers naturally had no objection.

After all, Lin Jian, the commander of the Gyeonggi camp, and Jia Lian, the commander of a certain camp of the Northern Army, were the only ones who deserved the credit for rescuing him this time.Although this Jia Lian did not go to the palace, but Lin Jian publicly stated that what he did was the duty of a courtier, what else can the courtiers say?

When it comes to pursuing responsibility, Emperor Chengsheng is merciless. The ministers and princes standing in the hall include victims and dereliction of duty.

Emperor Chengsheng punished the dereliction of duty one by one, and the first one was Duanwang.

In this grand court meeting, Emperor Chengsheng had obviously thought about how to do it. He was the one in control, and he wanted all the officials to bow their heads and obey their ears, instead of suggesting how to do it.

But even if everyone can see this kind of thinking, there is still someone who wants to break Chengsheng Emperor's plans and schemes. This person dares to say that he wants to impeach someone, and the impeached person is Lin Jian .

"Your Majesty, I know that Commander Lin did a great job in rescuing him this time, and even saved the people in the capital from fire and water. Commander Lin led his troops in time. However, if the troops of the four major battalions in Gyeonggi were not transferred, they should not have left their posts without authorization. What's more, the outskirts of the capital are empty, and the barrier is lost? This time, there is General Jia Huangque behind, if there is no such reinforcements, I am afraid that the four major battalions in Gyeonggi will also be handed over by the thugs taught like this!"

When this person mentioned Jia Lian, he first affirmed Jia Lian's contribution to rescue and timely assistance, and then impeached Jia Lian.Impeaching Jia Lian is the same as Lin Jian, sending troops without getting a transfer order, which is dereliction of duty and deception.

At this time, there were still people impeaching Lin Jian like this, and all the ministers had different expressions when they heard the words of impeachment.

Even if Lin Jian didn't have a transfer order in his hand, he rushed to rescue the capital and rescued him in time. Emperor Chengsheng had already affirmed that Lin Jian and Jia Lian were meritorious ministers, and it was obvious that he didn't care about Lin Jian's unauthorized transfer of troops. All the ministers thought, Why bother to come forward to impeach him?

The person who impeached Lin Jian was an official from the Ministry of Officials, and he was known for his upright temper.All the officials are familiar with him and know his personality. Thinking that he is so obsessed with the law and doesn't know how to change it, the officials have seen many of them. This is a moment of embarrassment in their hearts. What's wrong, I have to come forward to impeach Lin Jian.

But this scene fell in the eyes of Lin Jian and others, it was a different scene and interpretation.

It stands to reason that this person/impeachment of Lin Jian is well-founded and not false.According to the law, it is true that Lin Jian entered the city without issuing a transfer order to the soldiers guarding the city. He indeed transferred troops without authorization, but the situation was urgent at that time. Can you still take care of these?

As the saying goes, in an emergency, in an extraordinary period, it is natural to use extraordinary means.

However, this person came forward to say these things at this time, which made people doubt his intentions.For example, was he under the instigation of others to make a fuss about Lin Jian?

In the past, someone impeached Lin Jian, and very few people spoke out for Lin Jian, but this time it was different.

After all, all the ministers were grateful for Lin Jian's dedication. Not long after this person's voice fell behind, many people came forward to defend Lin Jian, saying that Lin Jian's move was only slightly flawed, and it was not a major crime. More than before, Lin Jian and Jia Lian are still the ministers who have contributed to the rescue.

There were many people who spoke up for Lin Jian, but they couldn't stop the person who impeached Lin Jian from speaking again.

All the ministers finished their speeches, but this man only used one sentence to make the ministers have no words to continue.

"Slight blemishes?"

"It turns out that in the eyes of my colleagues, the act of such a heavy general in the court arbitrarily dispatching troops to deceive the emperor is not a big treason, but a slight flaw?"

"Then if there hadn't been such a religious rebellion, Commander Lin or others, if they did similar things, how would the safety of the capital be maintained? Such unauthorized deployment of troops should be severely punished, how can they be tolerated? !"

Voices of questioning resounded through the palace, resounding across the floor.

No one spoke in the hall, and Emperor Chengsheng was also silent, but Emperor Chengsheng didn't look at Lin Jian, but fixedly looked at the minister who impeached Lin Jian.

In the hall that fell into silence, a chuckle suddenly sounded.

All the ministers followed the prestige, and it was Lin Jian who was laughing.

"Lord Song, your heart of worrying about the country and the people is really admirable. It's just that if Lord Song doesn't know about some things, he shouldn't come out to impeach this one and criticize that at will. After all, some things are also in the Ministry of Officials Lord Song won't know."

Lin Jian narrowed his eyes and said, "My lords, I am not a sinner who dispatched troops without authorization to deceive the Lord."

Lin Jian said, and turned his eyes away from Mr. Song who impeached him, and fell directly on the Shangshu of the Ministry of War. He smiled slightly at him, and asked Emperor Chengsheng if he could borrow two people to go to the Yamen of the Ministry of War to replace him. He fetched something, Emperor Chengsheng nodded in agreement.

The civil and military officials of the Manchu dynasty now also know that Lin Jian is quite tricky. Seeing Lin Jian's move, although they don't know what kind of medicine he sells in the gourd, most of them guess that Lin Jian must have been prepared, otherwise, what else? Why is it so calm and calm?

Everyone looked at Emperor Chengsheng's calm appearance again, and thought that the emperor probably knew about it, so everyone didn't have the mood to defend Lin Jian as before.

Lin Jian asked Emperor Chengsheng to send someone to the Ministry of War to fetch two defense transfer documents.

This document was drafted by the Ministry of War and reported to Emperor Chengsheng. After Emperor Chengsheng approved it, it was issued to the Ministry of War, and then the order for changing defense was sent to the northern army and the Gyeonggi camp.

The defense change document clearly states that a battalion led by Jia Lian in the Northern Army will be stationed in the frontier until it needs to return to defense, and the Xishui battalion on Lin Jian's side will change defense with the Duzhong garrison battalion, and the change date will be in the near future.

Lin Jian passed the two documents for changing defense to all the ministers: "Everyone, please see that the seals on them are complete, and this is not forgery."

"This change of defense has always been announced, but there are also secret changes of defense. Just because we were concerned about last year's events, the Holy One and I felt that it was inappropriate to announce it, so this document was issued quietly. But I don't want to have this kind of waiting again Since there are doubts about the statement, it is natural to take it out and announce it to you.”

"General Jia's team came back earlier, and the timing was right, so the thugs taught in this way did not succeed. I received a warning from Duzhong on the way back to the defense, so I rushed to Duzhong to help. As you can see, we I have a loyal heart with General Jia, and I have never violated the rules, and you have all seen it now, and this is what happened."
