[Red Mansions] Lord Hou's daily routine

During these seven days, Emperor Chengsheng knelt down to plead guilty to his ancestors in Fengxian Hall, Empress Dowager Shen also chanted sutras and prayed for blessings in the Buddhist hall, and the crown prince handled state affairs and government affairs in Huaiyin.

It is worth mentioning that the flood relief work in Huaiyin has been greatly improved after two or three months of treatment, and the resettlement of the victims has been completed long ago. The life of the victims in Huaiyin has gradually entered the right track. The dykes of Qingjiayan have been consolidated, and the restoration of water conservancy has also been put on the agenda. With the help of the government, the victims have also begun to rebuild their homes.

Therefore, due to the instigation of Rushijiao, the conflict between the people of Huaiyin and the government has finally been greatly alleviated because of the arrest of the Rushijiao thugs and the control of the flood. Everything in Huaiyin is developing in a good direction.

Lin Jian had asked someone to investigate who was behind the Lin family's business. Qian Ying sent someone to investigate, but there was no result for a few days. It was obvious that they had thoroughly investigated everywhere, but they couldn't find any traces. It's as if no one has done these things, and there is no trace of them.

Lin Jian heard this from Qian Ying, and after pondering for a while, he asked Qian Ying to investigate again. He told Qian Ying: "Start with Zheng's family and see if this is his family's fault."

The Zheng family, the king of Nan'an County, did not have a high position in the court, and there were not many children in the family who were officials in the court. Most of them still lived on the foundation left by their ancestors.The business of Zheng's family is also spread all over Da Zhou.If it is said to play tricks in the Lin family's business, the Zheng family is still very capable.

Previously, the investigations had always started from the Lin family's own side, and had never been investigated from the other side. If the other side had already prepared for such an investigation, it would actually be difficult to find out.

After hearing Lin Jian's words, Qian Ying asked his subordinates to investigate from Zheng's family. This investigation really allowed them to find out some clues.

Qian Yinglai reported back to Lin Jian: "Those things were indeed done by members of the Zheng family in secret. Their people mixed in with the thugs of the Rushi sect and ran amok in the shop to fuel the flames, which led to this result."

"Master, we also found out that members of the Zheng family have some contacts with Prince Duan in private."

Qian Ying told Lin Jian all the things she found out, and seeing Lin Jian groaning silently, Qian Ying asked, "Master, now that the matter has been found out, regardless of other things, the Zheng family's thoughts are already It's obvious. What is the young master going to do?"

They also found out some clues about what they taught. Qian Ying reported the matter to Lin Jian. Lin Jian didn't say anything after hearing this, and didn't ask Qian Ying to do anything. To say that there is no need to do anything for the time being means to stand still.

After finding out about the Zheng family this time, Qian Ying could see that Lin Jian probably meant to stay put, but he still couldn't help asking one more question.

Lin Jian glanced at Qian Ying lightly: "It's not a good thing to do. I already know the things, and I told you to do those things. You just clean up all the miscellaneous things that hinder your wife's business, and you don't have to worry about the Zheng family. matter."

Hearing this, Qian Ying hesitated for a while, but still didn't leave. He complied with Lin Jian's words, but he was really puzzled by Lin Jian's attitude of staying put these days. You must know that the Marquis of his family has never had such a temperament. , The Zheng family has bullied the Lin family. If it were the past, his Lord Hou would have already taken action. How could he stand still like he is now?

As soon as Lin Jian looked at Qian Ying, he knew what Qian Ying was thinking, and he said in a low voice: "Everything will be discussed after the Holy Majesty comes out of the Fengxian Hall."

He emphasized it again, "You just need to prepare for what I want you to do."

Qian Ying and Lin Jian looked at each other for a moment, and suddenly they felt blessed, and they somehow connected their minds, as if they had understood Lin Jian's mind, turned around and left without saying anything.

Lin Daiyu, who was sitting beside Qian Ying and Lin Jian, heard the conversation between Qian Ying and Lin Jian. After Qian Ying left, Lin Daiyu looked at Lin Jian. The candlelight on the table reflected the glint in her eyes.

"Husband, when the Holy Majesty comes out of the Fengxian Hall, will things really come to fruition?"

"Correct."

Lin Jian nodded slightly, "At that time, the matter will definitely have a result. They have done so many things, and now they have come to this point. Seeing that the most important thing has not been done, they just give up If they don't, they will definitely not be reconciled. This opportunity in front of them has been planned for a long time, how could they give up?"

Lin Daiyu just sighed when she heard the words: "Could it be that in their eyes, the world is so important? Is it more important than the relationship between mother and child, and the stability of Chao Gang?"

Lin Jian stared into Lin Daiyu's eyes: "In their eyes, only this country is the most important."

"If they value others, how can there be so many troubles?"

Lin Daiyu turned back a page of the book in her hand with downcast eyes, and then reached out to hold Lin Jian's hand: "The Holy Majesty obeyed their wishes, but this heart must still be chilling. It's fine if nothing happens. If something happens, wait When the Holy Majesty comes out of Fengxian Hall, it is really necessary to settle the old and new scores with them."

Lin Jian held Lin Daiyu's hand tightly, and said with a slight smile, "No matter what, the Holy Majesty has made up his mind. There won't be any major changes in the future. Although this game of chess is their arrangement, but up to now, the situation has already Mingming, it is clear at a glance what they have and what they have done. Since they are not under siege, it is time for us to collect the net. After that, such turmoil/turmoil will not happen again.”

Lin Daiyu asked Lin Jian: "After the business in Duzhong is over, parents will be able to come back from Lingnan, right?"

Lin Jian nodded: "That's right. When things here are over and everything has been dealt with, the situation in Lingnan is more stable, and parents should be able to come back."

Lin Jian was aware of Emperor Chengsheng's plans, and as a confidant minister valued by Emperor Chengsheng, Lin Jian also participated in Emperor Chengsheng's plans.Emperor Chengsheng's plan is naturally kept in absolute secrecy, and those who do not participate in the plan must never know.

Lin Jian never mentioned it to Lin Daiyu, but he said a few words, even if he didn't tell the whole picture, with Lin Daiyu's intelligence and dexterity, she had already understood the matter thoroughly.

According to Emperor Chengsheng's plan, the matter can be settled within the year, but there is no absolute, Emperor Chengsheng's military action is dangerous, if there is any change, I am afraid that the return date of Lin Hong and Qiao's has not yet been determined.

After all, those of them are not so easy to deal with properly.

During the seven days when Emperor Chengsheng knelt down to his ancestors in the Fengxian Hall, the ruling and opposition parties were peaceful, and nothing happened.

Emperor Chengsheng came out of Fengxian Hall after noon. He knelt for seven days. Although he did not kneel all the time during these seven days, he knelt for five hours every day during these seven days. Yes, this person's bones are brittle when he is old, and his bones will hurt after kneeling for a long time, and he can't even walk.

In addition, Emperor Chengsheng didn't close his eyes much in the past seven days, and he hadn't had a good rest for several days because of the turmoil caused by teaching the mob in this way. Emperor Chengsheng was exhausted when he came out of Fengxian Hall. All the way back to Qinzheng Hall with a dragon chariot.

After a simple lunch, Emperor Chengsheng woke up after resting for half an hour. The first thing he did after waking up was to ask Deping how the Shou'an Palace was.

Deping said: "The Empress Dowager came out of the Buddhist hall an hour earlier than the Holy Majesty. The Empress Dowager was not in good spirits, and as soon as she came out, she invited the imperial physician to the Shou'an Palace to check her pulse. The imperial physician said that the Empress Dowager was overworked and she needed to rest for a while. Only then, it is not appropriate to go to the Buddhist hall to chant sutras in the next few days."

Emperor Chengsheng raised his eyebrows: "The empress dowager is not comfortable, is it just because she is overworked?"

De Ping said: "Yes. The imperial physician has shown the empress dowager two or three times, and the old servant has also interrogated the imperial physician in private. The empress dowager is indeed overworked. There is nothing else to do."

Emperor Chengsheng lowered his eyes: "I know. You go and ask Lu Yuan to come over and tell him to show me his legs, and don't talk about other things. If someone inquires about the news, just follow what I taught you before." explain."

Deping was worried, and looked at Emperor Chengsheng: "My lord, besides your knees, do you have any other discomfort?"

Emperor Chengsheng glanced at Deping, and said in a low voice: "My chest is very stuffy, and I still have a faint pain in my abdomen. To tell you the truth, I still feel dizzy, and I am very uncomfortable now. This should not be caused by fatigue. You go and ask Lu Yuan to judge, I'm afraid I'm not good, tell him to come and show me. According to what I ordered you to seal up the Fengxian Palace, once you find out what's wrong with me, you will personally Bring people in for investigation. Remember, you must bring people in yourself."

Deping responded one by one, and when Emperor Chengsheng asked if Lin Jian was in the capital, he hurriedly replied: "Commander Lin is not in the capital. Tomorrow is Xiumu, and Commander Lin will return to Beijing tomorrow."

Emperor Chengsheng ordered Deping: "Yunxi will come back tomorrow and secretly summon him to the palace. I have something to say to him."

After Lu Yuanju came to Qinzheng Hall to see Chengsheng Emperor, Chengsheng Emperor's face sank like water, but his mood did not change much, but he sat on the couch with his eyes open for more than a moment and did not speak. The court judge stayed in the side hall and did not dare to leave without authorization, but his face was gray and defeated, obviously in a bad state.

Deping quietly accompanied Emperor Chengsheng, but if you look closely, you can see Deping's eyes that were red from crying and the worries and concerns deeply hidden in them.

It took a long time for Emperor Chengsheng to come back to his senses. When he came back from his contemplation, he was the first to look at Deping beside him. Seeing Deping's red eyes, Emperor Chengsheng couldn't help frowning slightly.

"Okay, this is the end of the matter, what can you do if you cry to death?"

"I still have something for you to do. If you go out like this and be seen by everyone in the palace, don't you want to talk about it again? It's an eventful time now. If you are like this, you have to let them talk about it behind your back. Especially It's Shou'an Palace. As I said, don't let the queen mother hear any rumors. Now that it's done, the queen mother won't care about it. It doesn't matter how we react, as long as the queen mother has done enough. But now , but I have no time to continue dealing with the Queen Mother."
