[Red Chamber] I am Lin Daiyu and her uncle

"Do you still remember that I told you before, don't stand in line?"

Lin Qing nodded, "I remember."

"Your Majesty only has three princes at the moment. Leaving aside the sixth prince, the third prince and the fifth prince are both dragons and phoenixes among men, and the mother clan is powerful. The position of crown prince may be rotated between these two princes."

"Then, Little General Shen..." Hearing Lin Ruhai's words, Lin Qing was somewhat suspicious of his self-reported fairy's intention to tidy up the house.

Lin Ruhai shook his head slightly, "Probably not. General Shen has always been upright, and General Shen has a very good reputation, so I think he wouldn't play such a dirty trick."

"But no matter what, you have to keep in mind that 'you can only make progress when you are stable'. The so-called 'make a decision before moving', everything is not completely sure, and there are very reasons. Don't express your attitude easily, let alone stand in line."

"Conglong's achievements are outstanding, but you have to weigh whether you have the ability to survive to the end."

Hearing this, Lin Qing was thoughtful.

After being silent for a while, I suddenly remembered the matter of "The Room of Colorful Clouds".I heard Lin Ruhai mentioned that he had been an official in Beijing in the early years, maybe he could know some inside stories.

"Brother, I still have something unclear."

"Oh? What's the matter?" Lin Ruhai took a sip from the teacup and said slowly.

In fact, he doesn't like sweets very much, and even feels tired.

"Have you ever heard of the 'Colorful Cloud Room' in the west of the city?" Lin Qing asked tentatively.

After hearing this, Lin Ruhai blinked almost imperceptibly, but his expression remained motionless, and his voice was as calm as ever, "I heard it."

"Then, do you know who took the name 'Colorful Cloud Room'?"

Lin Ruhai didn't answer directly, but turned his head to look at Lin Qing, "It's very good, why do you ask this?"

"Oh." Lin Qing smiled awkwardly, "It's like this. When I first heard this 'name', I thought it was very unique, but I searched the classics but couldn't find its source. Thinking of you, brother, you are very knowledgeable. , may know its allusion, that's why I asked this question."

Lin Ruhai slowly put down the teacup in his hand, and at the end, as if thinking of something interesting, he smiled inexplicably, "Forget it, I might as well talk to you today, so as to save you from being a stunned young man, always Ask something you shouldn't ask. It's better to ask me than outsiders, and you can use this to remind yourself."

Lin Qing was a little embarrassed when he heard this. How dare he be a stunned image in Lin Ruhai's heart?This was really beyond his expectation, he always thought that he was very stable.

Lin Ruhai cleared his throat, and then spoke slowly.

"'Caiyunjian', 'Shuyaozhai', and 'Yunyan Pavilion' are all named after Empress Dowager Wenhuan. When Empress Dowager Wenhuan was alive, she loved the cakes from these three restaurants the most. He gave these three stores their current names."

"Queen Wenhuan? Why haven't I heard of such a queen mother in Nanke? Wasn't the Holy One raised by a concubine?"

The culture of Nanke Country is very open and inclusive, so there will be people in the teahouse who secretly gossip about the royal family. Normally speaking, as long as you don't curse at the emperor's name, no one will bother you, not even the county government.

Therefore, Lin Qing has heard some royal gossip from it.

For example, the current emperor ascended the throne at the age of six and took charge of the government.His biological mother died young and was raised by a concubine surnamed Zhen.

At first he didn't know this was "The World of Red Mansions", and he didn't feel too much when he heard that Concubine Zhen surnamed, but now that he knew it was "Red Mansions", he suspected that Concubine Zhen was the old concubine in the original text!

In modern times, he had heard some red scholars analyze that the "old concubine" was most likely from the Zhen family in Jiangnan.

Now it seems that this possibility cannot be ruled out.

But if that's the case, he still hasn't heard of a "Queen Wenhuan"?

"You are still young, and the Empress Dowager Wenhuan passed away before you were born, so it's normal not to know."

"But..., but even the people in Beijing rarely know about this queen mother."

Lin Qing thought of the little boy in Helelou, how smart and clever he was, Helelou had a high style, and the news of the teahouse itself was very fast, even he had never heard of such a name as "Queen Wenhuan" figure.

"This is about to mention a secret that can't be regarded as a secret..." Lin Ruhai stroked his long beard, looked far away, and fell into the contemplation of memories.

Seeing that Lin Ruhai was about to start "telling a story", Lin Qing pricked up his ears.

"In terms of seniority, Empress Dowager Wenhuan should be regarded as the grandmother of the Holy Majesty. When the Majesty was six years old, the late emperor died suddenly. Empress Dowager Wenhuan supported the Majesty to ascend the throne, and then ruled for twelve years."

"Nanke Kingdom has always valued literature over martial arts, and the humble generals with a little ability were suppressed by military families, which directly led to no generals in the court. There were no capable generals to guard the border, and the wars were defeated. The country's prestige was repeatedly hit. It's time for a moment of peace that can only be obtained by paying tribute to those barbarian small countries!"

Lin Ruhai became a little excited, so he quickly settled down, "The first thing that the Empress Dowager Wenhuan did after she took power was to hold a martial arts exam, which promoted many young people from poor families, and even suppressed many old noble forces. People from humble backgrounds in the court Military officers are gradually fighting against those nobles, and General Shen made his mark at that time."

"Then Empress Dowager Wenhuan reshaped the military of the Nanke Kingdom, and sent General Shen to the border to destroy the small barbarian country, and tidy it up."

There is unstoppable pride in the words.

"Then, since the Empress Dowager Wenhuan has made such achievements, why should she cover up her past?" Lin Qing was quite puzzled.

Logically speaking, shouldn't such an awesome and fierce man be confessed and admired by future generations?

Lin Ruhai sighed deeply when he heard the words, "Even though the Empress Dowager Wenhuan has great achievements, she was held back by her family after all."

"Those small countries saw that they couldn't beat us, so they sent spies to bribe Queen Mother Wenhuan's mother's family to steal the defense map of the border. After succeeding, we were defeated and lost countless soldiers. Queen Mother Wenhuan found out the reason for the defeat and was furious , Directly ordered to kill his own mother clan!"

As soon as these words came out, Lin Qing suddenly widened his eyes.

God!What a tiger and wolf man this is!To be so ruthless as to kill all of his own mother clan!

"Then, that..., didn't this Empress Dowager Wen Huan kill her family?"

Lin Ruhai shook his head, "Not all of them. Today's Concubine Kang is also a member of the Empress Dowager's family, but she lost her parents since she was a child and was raised in front of the Empress Dowager, so she has a life."

After a pause, Lin Ruhai continued.

"The defeat of that battle directly led to the wasting of all the previous preparations. After this blow, the Empress Dowager Wenhuan was disheartened, and within a few years returned to the government of the newly-adult Holy Majesty, and died of depression two years later. Before dying, I am deeply ashamed Those soldiers who died innocently in battle ordered to erase all traces of her existence among the people, and no one was allowed to worship her."

"Not long after Empress Dowager Wenhuan passed away, those small countries came back again. To make up for the deficit after the war, the Holy Majesty restored the tribute system, and peace has prevailed until now. Nanke Kingdom also took advantage of this hard-won peace to vigorously develop its economy. With today's living and working in peace and contentment."

In the end, Lin Ruhai was full of emotion, "It's a pity that because of that defeat, the veteran nobles were revived, and the military officers from humble backgrounds were suppressed except for General Shen. It's really embarrassing..."

After hearing this, Lin Qing couldn't tell what it was like in her heart.

According to Lin Ruhai's description, this Empress Dowager Wenhuan is indeed a rare heroine.

Straightforward, courageous, ruthless, and black-handed.

She has all the qualities that a great person should possess.

If it wasn't for the fact that her mother clan didn't live up to expectations, she would really be able to achieve some dominance!

It's a pity that the success is on the verge of failure, and the reputation of the whole life is ruined.

However, Lin Qing still has a question that he has to ask, "Who are the veteran dignitaries you are talking about?"

Lin Ruhai didn't speak, but silently dipped his fingers in the tea, and then wrote four words on the desk.

Lin Qing walked over and saw that it was "Three Kings and Eight Dukes"!

Isn't it 'four kings and eight males'?How is the 'Three Kings'!

Seeing Lin Qing's bewildered expression, Lin Ruhai thought that he simply didn't understand the composition of these princes and nobles, so he patted him on the shoulder and comforted him: "I know you don't understand, and I will explain it to you in detail later. , you will understand slowly, there is no need to rush."

Lin Qing could only nod his head to express his understanding.

What else?

You can't directly ask Lin Ruhai why he is the "Three Kings" and not the "Four Kings", right?

When Lin Ruhai asked him where did he know about the "Four Kings and Eight Dukes", how should he explain it?

Alas——, there is no way, let’s hang on, anyway, there will be plenty of time in the future, let’s get to know it slowly.

Lin Qing was in a trance like this, and wandered back to the room.

I was thinking of going to bed early so that I could line up and buy some pastries tomorrow morning.But he couldn't fall asleep anyway, and couldn't help but think of what Lin Ruhai said to him just now.

He even wondered if this was the "World of Red Mansions".

Although there is "Jia's Mansion" and "Baoyu, Daiyu, Baochai" and other people here, the background that Lin Ruhai told him just now is quite different from what those red scholars analyzed.

Could it be that this is actually the parallel time and space of the "Red Mansion"?

But having said that, even the name of this country is "Nanke", so it's hard to say whether it is a parallel time and space.

But when he thought that he was a time traveler, someone who had died once, and had a system with him, he didn't think what Lin Ruhai said was so bizarre.

There has never been a person named "Lin Qing" in "Red Mansion", not even the "Shen family", but now they appear, so they are variables...

That night, Lin Qing was inexplicably excited, so he didn't sleep all night, and galloped towards the south of the city before dawn.

He is bound to buy all three pastries today!

For a whole day, Lin Qing didn't do anything, but lined up to buy pastries, and then went to the next destination after shopping, and then queued to buy pastries.

Huangtian paid off, and he spent a whole day in vain, and finally let him buy all three pastries.

When Lin Qing arrived home, it happened to be in time for dinner, so he handed the snacks to the kitchen, and sat down at the dining table.

In other words, he hasn't had a good meal with Daiyu yet.
