[Red Mansion] Young Master Lin Yan

Chapter 81 The Death of Concubine Zhen

Cheng Wangfu.

Situ Zheng smiled and pulled Ye He towards him, raised his glass and said, "A few days ago, I wronged you, Mister."

"It is my honor to be able to serve His Highness, so why not feel wronged!"

Situ Zheng was even more satisfied in his eyes, "Sir, you are a great talent, and you have come up with an undercover plan. Now the fifth child is completely defeated. It's a pity that you can't use this to bring down the third child."

Another sigh.Pity.If according to their plan.The fifth child came forward and brought down the third and ninth child.He also held the handle of Lao Wu's regicide in his hand, so Lao Wu only had to be obedient!It's best to use some tricks to let the third child die in the confinement. If there is no trouble, he can use the "evidence" to expose the fifth child.

At that time, who else can own this world?

Thinking of this, Situ Zheng's expression flashed, revealing a stern look.

Troubled Lin Yan!He snorted coldly, "The third child wants to borrow the national debt to get ahead, but this king wants to see if he has the ability!"

He is not reconciled!How willing!The third and the ninth were wronged, so didn't he feel wronged?

Just because Lao Jiu's grievances are greater, his grievances can be ignored?

Ye He persuaded: "Your Highness, there is no need to worry. Your Majesty will be prosperous in the future, and we still have a lot of time. Your Highness, calm down, and don't cause any trouble at this time."

Situ Zheng gritted his teeth, "Don't you want me to watch Lao Ninth gain favor and see Lao San make contributions to the national debt? At that time, there will be no place for me in the heart of Emperor Father!"

Ye He smiled, "Your Highness, the emperor's favor is the most impermanent. Even at this moment, no matter how much the emperor values ​​the third prince and the ninth prince, how can he know what will happen in the future?"

"what do you mean?"

"The more the emperor loves you, the more he will be heartbroken when he encounters betrayal in the future."

Situ Zheng was taken aback for a moment, then came back to his senses.It doesn't matter whether the third and the ninth will betray, or if they don't, they can figure it out.Just like the fifth child this time.

He laughed, and patted Ye He on the shoulder, "Hahaha, Mr. is extremely scheming and resourceful, I admire you!"

Ye He smiled, but the smile didn't reach his eyes. It was a faint reminder, "If your highness believes in me, you might as well listen to me. Now your highness can't be stumbling over the national debt, but also needs to help."

Situ Zheng didn't know why.

"Your Highness should know that the reason why the emperor vigorously launched the national debt is for the battle of Beirong. Once the war starts, His Highness can invite you to go to war."

Situ Zheng was shocked and understood what he meant.military power!This is the foundation of their invincibility!What's more, he used to be stationed at the frontier, if he can return now, he will be like a fish in water!

Thinking of this, his eyes shone brightly, flickering.

********

Imperial Palace, Qianyuan Hall.

Situ Kun looked at the memorial in his hand, and a smile gradually appeared in his eyes, "Not bad. You have handled it very well for me these days when I travel."

Situ Ling stood at the bottom, lowered his head, not daring to take credit.

Situ Kun asked again, "How is the national debt issue going?"

"Everything is going well. Although there are some obstacles, they are all resolved. The second brother is smooth and efficient. It is the [-]th National Congress, thanks to his persuasion. The people and dramas arranged to win the trust of the people before, It was all prepared by him.”

Don't ask for credit for yourself at all, just say King Qin.Situ Kun glanced at him, and the smile in his eyes grew even wider, but when he saw the urgent military newspaper beside him, he suppressed it again.

"A letter from Bianbian, Beirong's harassment has started again, what do you think?"

As soon as Situ Ling heard it, he knew that this was not about his opinion on Beirong, but about the possible support of the treasury.

"The national debt issue has just been implemented, and the amount of funds raised is not much now. But the people have no doubts and resistance to this matter now, and with those seditious articles, it is not impossible for the people of the country to buy it together.

Yi Erchen reckoned that it would be better if he waited another half a year.However, if Bei Rong is restless, in order to protect the safety of the people on the border, this expedition is all right.Simply military funds must be raised in one go now.At present, the Ministry of Households has collected the owed silver and the income from the glass factory. Although the manufacture of armaments and weapons has cost a lot, there is still a lot left.

Reserve 200 million taels as the workshop expenses, 300 million taels for domestic disasters and accidents, and 100 million taels for the exchange of local government bonds. The remaining silver taels are enough to last for a year and a half.Even if the consumption is too large, half a year is always feasible.

At that time, the amount of national debt raised will be considerable, and a new batch of tax money from various places will also come up.Now that the disadvantages of Jiangnan have been eliminated, it is expected that next year there will be a lot more taxes and banks than in previous years. "

Thoughtful and thorough, he actually calculated every expense.

Situ Kun nodded, "Who do you think you can send to fight?"

Situ Ling was startled and changed his mind, "General Wei, who is currently stationed at the border, has been marching for 20 years. My minister has studied his tactics, and he is good at defense but not offensive. The strategy is relatively conservative, but he is also cautious in his actions. Advance aggressively. If you are an ordinary garrison general, you will be able to protect the Bei Rong. But if the emperor wants to attack, he will drive the Bei Rong hundreds of miles away from the pass. I am afraid that it is not suitable for General Wei to be the commander."

Situ Kun didn't comment, but said, "Go ahead."

"Brother joined the army at the age of 15, and made military exploits at the age of 17. Many soldiers in the frontier have fought bloody battles with him, and have shared life and death. My brother has been in the Northwest for five or six years, and he is also very familiar with its terrain. If he Go out to fight, you can occupy the right place and the people."

Situ Kun's eyes flickered slightly, but Situ Zheng was capable of fighting, but he also had ambitions.Situ Ling would not understand this point.

"Since you know all these things well, don't you ever think about leading the army yourself?"

Situ Ling knelt down, "Thought about it! As a man of the Great Zhou Dynasty, how could I have never thought about leading troops to go out to defend my family and the country. I couldn't wait to ask my father to join me. But after thinking about it, I still give up."

"My son has never led an army. Even if I ask myself to be familiar with the art of war, it is only on paper and has never been in actual combat. For a nation like Beirong who is good at fighting, my son dare not make the slightest mistake for the sake of being strong for a while. Father, wait for this After waiting for more than ten years for the first battle, there is no room for loss. In this way, if the victory of this battle is not guaranteed, the son is definitely not the best candidate."

Situ Kun looked at him fixedly, "Then in your opinion?"

"Brother likes to fight and is good at fighting, so he can be the main attacker. General Wei is on the defensive. But..." Situ Ling paused, and after thinking for a long time in his heart, he continued, "I prefer General Feng Tangfeng to sit in the rear and rely on the reinforcements!"

Situ Kun was slightly taken aback, but then laughed.Take advantage of each other's strengths, let those who are good at attacking attack, and those who are good at defending defend. They don't care about each other's positions, and they are not afraid that the other party's military exploits will be detrimental to themselves.But another person was sent to restrain them.And he was so smart that he didn't intervene, even if he used it, he still used Feng Tang.

Feng Tang, that was his confidant.His status in the court is not ordinary, even the boss has to give some face.

It coincides with my own thoughts.

Situ Kun laughed and helped him up. Just as he was about to say something, he saw the small yellow door flickering outside and called him in with a frown.

"Your Majesty, the imperial concubine is begging to see the Emperor!"

After a pause, Situ Ling said with some embarrassment: "My son, please leave first!"

"No need!" Situ Kun waved his hand and sent the little eunuch out, "Go and tell her, no see!"

Turning around, he asked Situ Ling again, "Did Lao Jiu enter the palace with you?"

"Yes! Ninth brother talked with concubine mother for a long time. Now, counting the time, he should have gone to the tiger and leopard room."

"He cares more about those three tigers, one big, two small, than I do!"

Situ Ling opened his mouth, "The Ninth Brother was also here to pay his respects to the Emperor Father. However, Eunuch Dai came to look for the son, and the Ninth Brother guessed that the Father and the Emperor had something serious to talk about, and he was most impatient about this, and then I was afraid of disturbing us, so I didn't follow."

Situ Kun smiled and shook his head, "You can speak for him! I don't know his temperament yet. Seeing those two tigers, I'm afraid I forgot to greet me right now!"

He frowned again, "The people around him should be tidied up too. Of the four major guards, one is missing, and the other three are trash!"

No wonder the other guards.Yuan Da was given by Situ Ling, and Situ Yue valued Japan even more, and would often arrange things for him in private.Because they didn't see anyone for a while, the three guards only thought they were going to do something for Situ Yue.It was too late to find out that he hadn't returned.

Situ Kun might not be ignorant of this, but he still felt a little angry.

Situ Ling's heart trembled.But Situ Kun said again: "I'm afraid Lao Jiu can't think of it, and he can't do it. Please help."

"Yes!"

Situ Kun shook his head and sighed again, "Although Yanzhi is messing around, sometimes he doesn't have a good job, but he is knowledgeable, resourceful, and resourceful. It is said that those who are close to Zhu are red and those who are close to ink are black, and Lao Jiu is as good as him." , why did he only learn the bad things and not learn the good ones at all! With his temper, I think I should really marry him a wife and take care of him!"

Speaking of this, I laughed again, "I originally thought that after the new year, I would let the side concubine I chose for you to enter the mansion. But the old nine's temper, no ordinary girl can stand it. Even the concubine So, let alone the side concubine. I'm afraid he didn't take it seriously at all. It seems that it's time to choose a better wife for him."

After finishing speaking, he glanced at Situ Ling again, "You are not too young, and the matter of marrying a wife should also be put on the agenda."

get a wife...

The concubine is the wife.Concubines don't count.Su Jin's figure suddenly flashed before Situ Ling's eyes, and his heart tightened.

"Wei Guangling has a young daughter, and Feng Tang has an eldest daughter, both of whom are of marriageable age, so they are a good match for you."

Wei Guangling was the General Wei who was stationed at the border, let alone Feng Tang.Situ Lingda was shocked!

This is... This is seeing that he has no military merits to help, so he wants to win him over to a family with military power?No matter which one of these two he chooses, it will be a great help, and it can also help him fight against the First Prince.

Situ Ling twisted his hands into fists, loosening and tightening.

What else did Situ Kun want to say, when he saw the figure of Xiao Huangmen at the door, Situ Kun frowned and was very displeased. Seeing this, Dai Quan went out to inquire. After a while, he hurried in and knelt down in front of Situ Kun, "Your Majesty, yes?" ...is a person in the imperial concubine's palace."

"Didn't I say it? No see!"

"The imperial concubine is critically ill! The imperial physician...the imperial physician said that she may not survive today."

Situ Kun was taken aback for a moment, his expression changed, he turned and went out!

********

Yan family.

At this moment, Lin Yan is in dire straits.

A desk, on the left is a pile of homework, on the right is already written, judging from the height, several sheets have been done.

Lin Yan's wrist was wrapped with cloth strips, and a sandbag was tied, which, in the euphemistic name, strengthened his wrist and hand strength, and trained his writing strength and style.

There is a chair under the buttocks, but this chair has a lot of mystery.The front two legs were sawed off in half, and the front and rear feet were uneven all the time, and the chair surface formed a [-]-[-] degree landslide.

How can I sit here?The buttocks can only be touched a little, except for a support, it is not much different from standing on horseback!

But Yan Binghuai said, this is to correct his writing posture!

Ma Dan!Is this correct writing posture?How the hell is it possible to correct the writing posture!Unknown ancients!If you have the ability, you can get back back Jia out!This is simply torturing people!

Lin Yan found out that he was wrong.He always thought that Lin Ruhai was the biggest Buddha on top of his head, but there was an even bigger one!

For more than ten years, Lin Ruhai punished him in three ways, beating, punishing him kneeling, and copying books.Yan Binghuai is simply playing a new trick!And he can find all kinds of good reasons for him!

The most important thing is, to Lin Ruhai, he can act like a baby; but to Yan Binghuai, he dare not say a word.

Lin Yan felt bitter, he finally knew why Lin Ruhai asked Yan Binghuai to be his teacher.Co-authored, this is Yan Binghuai's temper method, if he can't do it himself, let him do it!

Lin Yan gritted his teeth, thinking like this, became more depressed, crooked his hand, spilled ink, and ruined a paper just like that.

"Again!"

Lin Yan's heart trembled, and he took out the ruined papers as if resigned to his fate, and put new ones on them.Yan Binghuai stood aside and watched, and finally let go after finishing this piece, "Let's stop here for today."

Lin Yan seemed to be relieved, but Yan Binghuai said again: "You haven't been to the Imperial College for nearly three months, and you have missed a lot of homework. Let's take some back first, write it down, and show it to me when you come next time .”

He came to Yan's house every three days.When you come next time?Is this to let him finish writing in three days?Lin Yan looked at the paper stuffed into his arms, tears streaming down his face.

"Yes, sir!"

Back in the Lin Mansion, Lin Yan rubbed his sore right hand, feeling ashamed in his heart.If the ages of the two lifetimes are added together, he will be as old as Lin Ruhai!He was actually forced to do homework!How to live this day!

However, in front of Jia Min and Daiyu, Lin Yan still pretended not to show it at all, not wanting them to worry.However, my hands are not strong enough, and I didn't pick up a few dishes and chopsticks for dinner.

Seeing something unusual, Jia Min frowned and asked a few words. Lin Yan only shied away and twisted accidentally while playing around. Jia Min inevitably scolded, "What a grown-up, you're still so careless."

Turning around, he ordered his servants, "Go and get a spoon for the uncle!"

Lin Ruhai glanced at him, said nothing, but dragged him to the study after the meal, took the medicine from the shelf, and rubbed his right hand while rubbing it.

"If you were willing to work hard when you were young, you wouldn't be so tired with a two-pound sandbag now!"

Lin Yan complained even more, "Father, how do you know that my hand is not sprained, but I practice calligraphy. I can't believe that you came up with this idea, and you made Mr.... Oops!"

Lin Yan rubbed his head, swallowed the words behind, but still muttered dissatisfiedly: "You hit me on the head again!"

"As long as anyone who has some attainments in calligraphy has not come here since childhood. I can tell when I see you like this, do I need to come up with any ideas? You have just started to bear the weight, and Yan Binghuai is not ignorant of the severity. Start with the lightest sandbag, and it won’t give you half a catty as soon as it comes.”

Lin Yan groaned, and said aggrievedly: "Father, why don't you talk to your husband. My writing is just like this. You gave up, and Mr. Shen also gave up. Why should he still hold on to it!"

Lin Ruhai held back with great difficulty and almost slapped him again.What does it mean that he gave up, and Mr. Shen also gave up?

"If you want to say it, say it yourself, I won't lose this person!"

Lin Yan had a bitter face, how dare he say it!Especially Yan Binghuai always talked about the ancestors of the Lin family.His grandfather was a great calligrapher, and he was the kind whose calligraphy was worth thousands of dollars.His father, Lin Ruhai, even if he didn't reach his grandfather's level, he still had a good handwriting, and no one he met would dislike him.

In fact, his handwriting isn't really good, it's really not bad, you can always read it.But there are such parents and grandparents, and it seems a bit embarrassing every time they are brought up to speak.

Lin Yan sighed, "Now there are a large number of people who know that I can't write. No matter how much you practice, you can't become you, and you can't catch up with your grandfather! Anyway, your reputation is almost ruined by me! What does it matter if you practice or not? difference!"

The prestige has almost fallen!What difference does it make if you practice or not!Look, look!What are these words!

Lin Ruhai exerted all his strength, and Lin Yan quickly pulled out his right hand, holding his wrist and grinning, angrily glaring at Lin Ruhai.Do you need to start so hard!

Lin Ruhai snorted coldly, "Then do you know how the words me and your grandfather came about? Do you think we are born with extraordinary talents?"

Lin Yan was taken aback for a moment, and then fell silent for an instant.

"Bearing weight, hanging wrists, I have been since I was seven years old, how old are you this year? You know, a few days ago, Yan Binghuai asked me with your handwriting, and when I learned that you have grown so big, I will punish you for copying How do you say that I have never felt sorry for you after several books?"

"He was silent for a while, and said to me: Drowning is like killing a child. It made me feel ashamed for a long time, I don't know what to say!"

Lin Yan lowered his head, and vaguely remembered, whether it was six or seven years old, or seven or eight years old, it seemed that this happened once.Lin Ruhai also trained him in calligraphy in this way, but at the beginning, he couldn't bear it, refused, and lost his temper every day.

Don't look at him alive and kicking now.When he was young, he was not in good health.Every time I was beaten, I would get sick.Even if Lin Ruhai made a move, he always had to think twice, and sometimes he got so angry that he couldn't hold it back, and after the beating, he hugged him and coaxed him again and again, as if he regretted something.

After arguing like this twice, Lin Ruhai's heart softened and he had to forget it, and he never trained him in such a way.

A medicine bottle was thrown over, Lin Yan caught it reflexively.But Lin Ruhai said: "Go back and let Qiu Ming rub it for you, don't be afraid to exhaust me here! I still want to live a few more years!"

Lin Yan drooped his head, turned and left, but when he opened the door, he bumped into Lin Huai who happened to come to knock on the door.

"My lord, my lord! There's news from the palace that Concubine Zhen has gone!"

Lin Yan opened his mouth wide, with a dazed expression on his face.

Concubine Zhen?died?

The author has something to say: Lin Yan: The baby is suffering!Baby is so wronged!Baby wants to cry!
