[Red Mansions] Lord Hou's daily routine

Lin Jian used to accompany Xiao Yu in the palace to read, and he and the princes and other companions studied in the study for seven years in the palace.

At that time, it was Ying Tianyi, the editor of the Hanlin Academy, who was teaching in the study room. Ying Tianyi and Lin Ruhai were selected in the same class.Lin Ruhai was the candidate handpicked by Emperor Chengsheng, and Ying Tianyi was the number one scholar handpicked by Emperor Chengsheng.

Since Ying Tianyi is the number one scholar, knowledge is naturally not a problem. After he joined the Imperial Academy, he directly became an editor of the Imperial Academy. Not long after that, he was handpicked by Emperor Chengsheng, and he went to the study room at a young age. Read and practice calligraphy.

The princes were of different ages. When Ying Tianyi entered the study room, some were older like the first prince in his teens, and some were as old as the nine princes and ten princes who were only six or seven years old. The progress of each prince was different, and what he had learned was different. Naturally, they are also different. Everyone needs to learn the same courses, and there are also courses that need to be studied independently.

This Ying Tianyi is really worthy of being the number one scholar. He arranged all the prince's courses in an orderly manner without any chaos. Not only that, the princes attended the class together, and no matter who asked the question, Ying Tianyi could answer it without reading the lesson plans. Never go wrong.

In Lin Hong's words, when Lin Jian was reading with Xiao Yu in the study room, he was a rampant and lawless little bastard.But it's such a little bastard, even the prince dares to cover a violent beating with a sack, but he is very respectful and polite to Tianyi, he always salutes when he meets him, he speaks politely, and he never flirts with Tianyi Temperament, you must call him Mr. when you meet, and ask Mrs. Qiao to send Ying Tianyi a bundle of repairs at four o'clock and eighth, which is very polite.

In fact, the reason is very simple. Lin Jian respects scholars the most, especially those like Ying Tianyi who have profound knowledge and knowledge but are not rigid.

For example, at this moment, Ying Tianyi stopped him and talked to him with a smile. Lin Jian still saluted him politely, called him Mr. Ying politely, and saluted him.

After teaching in the study for seven years, Ying Tianyi really likes and admires Lin Jian's temperament. Even though Ying Tianyi has already been promoted to a bachelor's degree in the Imperial Academy, and he has given up his job as a teacher in the study, Ying Tianyi is still the same. I admire Lin Jian a lot.

Ying Tianyi bowed his hand to return the gift, and finally said with a smile: "It's like seeing flowers blooming, like looking forward to the new year. The truth and the invincibility are so strong that it is easy to be poor. You are alone in the empty mountain, and you pick apples after the rain."

"This is the words in '24 Poems'. I remember that when I talked about "Zhuli Pavilion" that year, I used these words to comment. I didn't expect Lin Yushi to remember it."

Ying Tianyi is a civil servant, and also a bachelor's attendant who often walks around in front of the imperial court. The most important thing is to be dignified when walking, sitting and lying down. Ying Tianyi used to be very disciplined when he was young, and it is even more so now that he is nearly fifty.

Walking towards the hall is also a square step, neither rush nor slow nor arrogant.

In order to take care of Ying Tianyi's pace, Lin Jian couldn't drag Ying Tianyi forward with his own will, so he simply slowed down and followed Ying Tianyi's pace.

As soon as he slowed down, he saw that everyone who was behind him passed by him one by one and walked in front of him.Not long after, all the officials of the scattered court walked in front of him, and only he and Ying Tianyi were walking slowly in the big square in front of the court hall.

"Sitting alone in the secluded grove, playing the piano and singing again. People in the deep forest don't know, but the bright moon comes to shine."

Lin Jian smiled heavily, looking at the sun that had just risen outside the palace wall in the distance, he stretched out his hand to cover the bright sunlight, watching the warm sunlight leaking from his fingers, "Mr. What is it like now, these few sentences are the portrayal of my heart now."

Ying Tianyi couldn't help laughing: "As soon as you returned to the capital, you went to Yangzhou to handle the deficit case for the imperial envoy, and transported the urged money to southern Anhui without telling the court. You took office, and handled the case of the Wang family in a down-to-earth manner, but not long after, you cut off the plaque bestowed by the emperor in the Rongguo Mansion. You were clearly punished, but you were not honest. Don't stop, say something like that."

"I don't think you are as quiet and indifferent as Mojieju? You clearly want to turn the capital upside down by yourself!"

At this time, there was no one around, and the two of them were walking in the empty court hall square again, and they didn't worry about someone eavesdropping when they spoke, so Ying Tianyi directly called Lin Jian by his nickname.

Ying Tianyi suppressed his smile, and said earnestly: "Xiaojian, I have been studying in the study room for the Pope and his sons for seven years. Let alone others, I taught His Highness the Ninth Prince and you from the beginning until you left the palace. Teaching in the study room, the princes and companions are from noble backgrounds. I knew in my heart that this was different from ordinary teaching, and I didn’t expect the princes to really treat me as a teacher. But you and His Highness the Ninth Prince respect me as a teacher, even if you come later I'm out of the palace, and I won't go to the study anymore. During the four o'clock and eighth festivals every year, you always let people come to see me. When you are not in Beijing, His Highness Ninth Prince has come to see me in person several times, and said that he is acting on behalf of the two of you. come to see me, sir."

"You really treat me like a teacher, and I've gone beyond the rules and treat you as my students from the bottom of my heart. Over the years, I have produced many talents under my school, and there are also a few proud students, but I won't hide it. You, I still feel that if you don’t practice martial arts and take the imperial examination instead, with your intelligence and intelligence, it will be an easy task for you to win the No. [-] Scholar.”

Lin Jian laughed: "Sir, that's going too far."

"Yes, this is going too far."

Ying Tianyi said, "That being said, you promoted His Highness the Ninth Highness as the crown prince in the palace today, and your actions not only made yourself, but also His Highness Ninth a target of public criticism."

"The Holy Majesty has not established a crown prince these years, but with the example of the late emperor, all the officials in the court have already agreed in their hearts that the eldest prince will be the crown prince in the future. Today, the Holy Majesty is just asking a question according to the routine. How can you answer that way? You didn't see it, even Does Prime Minister Yu push the eldest prince? Half of the ministers in the court support the eldest prince. If you say this, you will drag the ninth prince into the water together with you. In my heart, the eldest prince may hate the two of you gone."

Lin Jian smiled lightly: "Sir, if the Holy Majesty is really just asking questions according to the rules, why didn't he simply make the Eldest Prince the Crown Prince when all the ministers were pushing for him? The Holy Majesty knows that I am an unreasonable person If you really value the prince, why do you need to ask me by name?"

"As for Prime Minister Yu. His old man is his teacher, and he is valued by his old man. Could it be that the old man can't figure out his old man's intentions? Since ancient times, it has been the rule to establish a prince, and it is not wrong to choose a virtuous one. Even if he intends to speak for His Highness the Ninth Prince, in today's situation, he has scruples about his status and cannot speak up."

"I am a person who has no scruples and no rules. I can say whatever I want."

Lin Jian raised his eyelids and smiled, and said softly, "I'm not afraid that the eldest prince will hate us, but I'm afraid that he won't hate us."

At the court meeting just now, Ying Tianyi was one of the few people who did not go with all the ministers to ask Chengsheng Emperor to punish Lin Jian.

Lin Jian made a shocking statement at the court meeting. Others were surprised by Lin Jian's outspokenness. After Ying Tianyi's initial surprise, the first thing he worried about was Lin Jian's future situation. The attitude of avoiding it would cause chaos when Ying Tianyi cared about it. He didn't have time to think about it, so he stopped Lin Jian directly.

But after all, he has been an official in the court for 30 years. Even in the Qingrui Imperial Academy Yamen, he is not a person who knows everything.Ying Tianyi didn't have time to think about it, it's not that he couldn't think of it.

After hearing Lin Jian's words, Ying Tianyi thought for a moment, and suddenly realized: "Xiao Jian, do you want...to force them to do something?"

"Then what's on your mind...does the prime minister know about it?"

Lin Jian lowered his brows and smiled: "Sir, it's raining in the mountains. You are a quiet person. This matter will not affect the Imperial Academy, and you don't have to worry about me. The situation in the future will be a rare event. Mr. is an outsider, so you should appreciate it. If you don’t know one day, Mr. will become an authority, and you will lose the leisurely pleasure of watching the theater."

Ying Tianyi's expression froze, the two of them happened to walk to the gate of the palace at this moment, there were still some ministers stranded here, besides there were also palace guards, this person had a lot of conversations, and it was inconvenient to say something, so Ying Tianyi went to the forest Jian sent him to the sedan door and whispered to him.

"Xiaojian, if you have any difficulties, if you need me, just speak up."

Lin Jian accepted with a smile, and after watching Ying Tianyi's sedan chair go away, he turned back to look for his own horse.

His speech at today's court meeting is the prelude to everything that follows, and it is also the beginning of everything.For these words, many people will be involved, and many people will do it with various purposes.

He has already involved many people, and some people jumped into it willingly, but he absolutely does not want to involve those who could have escaped.

The purpose of purging cronies is to rectify the administration of officials. He does not want to take this opportunity to form a party, nor does he want to pollute the people who are already cleared like this.This pure teacher-student relationship is really rare.But in this court, there must always be a clear stream.

Lin Jian returned to the West Garden, only to find out that Lin Hong and Mrs. Qiao had both gone out early in the morning.

Qian Ying brought Lin Jian food: "My Madam gave special instructions before leaving the house. The young master stayed up all night and went to court in the morning without breakfast. He must be hungry when he comes back. I told the young master to use this bowl of round-grained rice porridge to warm up first." Warm the stomach. Then eat, so as not to hurt the stomach."

"The madam also said that after the young master finished his breakfast, he would wash up and rest in the mansion before going to the yamen. After the madam finished her business outside, she would naturally come back."

After listening to Qiao Shi's words, Lin Jian drank porridge first, and after Qian Ying finished Qiao Shi's instructions, he asked Qian Ying, "Where is the master? Did you go out with your wife? Where did they go?"
