Jia Lu through the Red Chamber

"Cough, cough, cough!" The emperor was extremely tortured by this cough when he was sober.

Li Quan hurriedly handed over the spittoon, picked up the filth, and rinsed his mouth after serving the emperor, and vaguely heard the voice of a female family member outside, asking,

"Who is making noise outside?"

Li Quan responded cautiously, "It's Concubine Zhen Gui who is pleading guilty for Prince Yide!"

Li Quan thought to himself, it's really 30 years in Hedong, 30 years in Hexi, before the eldest princess was forced to kowtow to plead guilty by Concubine Zhen Gui, now it's his turn.

No matter how much the Emperor loves Concubine Zhen, thinking of her natal family's deeds, he has lost all love. He wished to execute the entire Zhen family, but the old grandmother of the Zhen family is still there. He really couldn't bear to think of that old and kind old man To make her worry about her children and grandchildren in her later years, she can only pull a few of their nephews out.

The sound from outside was still going on, and the emperor felt a headache from hearing it, so he said, "Go and tell her, if she continues to quarrel, their Zhen family will no longer be a matter of a few nephews."

Li Quan had to wait on the side, unable to leave, with a wave of his hand, a small yellow door behind him ran out in a hurry, but after a while, the sound stopped, the small yellow door went back and forth, saying that the concubine Zhen Guifei had gone back.

The emperor was still worried about the affairs of the previous court, so he asked,

"How did Zhang Shoufu deal with the things outside?"

Li Quanquan is the chief eunuch in charge of Li Bingzhi, and he also has the right to contact the memorial, so he said,

"Returning to the emperor, Lin Ruhai, the censor of salt inspection in the south of the Yangtze River, died of a serious illness. There was only one daughter and his adoptive heir under his knees. He wrote a letter to be under his rule. The catastrophe in the south of the Yangtze River made him feel guilty and restless. Half of the family property is donated to the imperial court to provide disaster relief."

"Lin Ruhai?" Lin Ruhai's loyal and humble figure flashed in Chaos's head.

"Isn't it good years ago? Why did he go?"

The emperor heard the news of Lin Ruhai's illness before, and he thought it was because he failed to leave Jiangnan as he wished to express his dissatisfaction.

Regarding the chaos in Jiangnan, the emperor was also dissatisfied with Lin Ruhai. It was only because he had already reported that he was seriously ill, and he was in poor health, so he could only procrastinate for a while. The emperor still believed in his ability. For many years, An Anwen, I wanted him to take the blame and do meritorious service, but who would have thought that he would get the news of his death.

Li Quan returned cautiously, "Master Jiang from the Jinwu Guard is in the south of the Yangtze River, and he sent a secret letter."

"He, why is he there?"

"Mr. Jiang's stepmother believes that the climate in the south of the Yangtze River is warm and suitable for recuperation. It happened that Mr. Jiang had some symptoms before, so he was sent to the south of the Yangtze River to recuperate."

When the emperor heard this, he was dissatisfied and said, "This Marquis Changping is really getting more and more out of tune!"

This Jinwu Guard is a special agency responsible for the emperor. The selection of its members has been passed down from generation to generation. Others have no way of knowing, even if they know of the existence of the Jin Wu Guard, there are only a handful of them.

The Jinwu Guard is mysterious and powerful, but because it is too mysterious, some public events cannot be stopped. For example, although Jiang Zining is the grandson of the prince, but was driven to the south of the Yangtze River by his stepmother and his father, he can rely on the status of the Jinwu Guard to say that I will not go?

At that time, I am afraid that the first person who wants him to die will be Jin Wuwei himself.

The emperor took the letter paper sealed with wax lacquer, the seal was intact, and he opened it only after confirming that no one had checked it.

The letter records in detail that Lin Ruhaizi suddenly became seriously ill after returning to Yangzhou at the beginning of the year to take office. In fact, he was very poisonous. At the same time, a pulse diagnosis was attached. The Zhen family covered the sky with one hand, and with the liquidation of the remnants of the deposed prince, Jiangnan was in turmoil.

In detail, not only the truth about Lin Ruhai's poisoning, but also the conversations between the Zhen family and his confidantes were clearly stated.

The more the emperor looked at it, the more angry he became. The two most valued sons had messed up their own world, and coughed again.

"Cough, cough, cough!"

Li Quansheng took the spoils spit out by the emperor, his face changed drastically as soon as he rolled his eyes, and he immediately hid the spittoon in his hand behind his back.

"Whoa, whoa, whoa!" There was a heavy panting sound, even if the emperor didn't see his stolen goods, the sticky smell of iron and blood in his mouth couldn't be hidden, and his chest was like a windmill, every time he panted, he brought bursts of pain.

The emperor knew that he had pursued immortal medicine behind people's backs for many years, but in the end he still failed, and his heart was desolate. Thinking of his ancestors' aversion to such things, it was reasonable.

I also think about my age, natural disasters and man-made disasters. I still remember that when I became the throne 41 years ago, I was still a young and ignorant child. At that time, my only thought was to be a good emperor. For more than 40 years, not only have my children and grandchildren not been taught well, but the country has also been governed. It's a mess, I'm ashamed of my ancestors!

A cloudy tear slipped from the corner of his eye down his hair.

For the great cause of the country, all the emotions in the past had to be thrown away, the emperor began to think carefully about his sons.

The abandoned prince is both a heir and an elder. There is no one more suitable than him in terms of status. Unfortunately, he is not patient enough. He was squinted by the power and left behind the family relationship between father and son. He couldn't wait for the chair he was sitting on. If you go by yourself, you want to seek rebellion.

The second son is good, good at martial arts and generous, although his temper is a bit grumpy, but there is no big problem if he looks at him, he has always been the child he likes the most.The former prince was in trouble, and I once wanted him to take over the seat. I also turned a blind eye to the matter of him gathering the former prince's power. Now it seems that the second child is soft-hearted and trusts the Zhen family too much. It's impossible to control your own power at all.

There is also the fourth child. At this moment, the emperor has also noticed his fourth son, Zhao Yousheng, who has been unknown all along. Zhao Yousheng was born to the late Jiang Zhaoyi. According to his wishes, after the death of the eldest son, he was heartbroken for a time, and the Holy Majesty took pity on him and raised Zhao Yousheng under the concubine De's knees. Later, the Concubine De gave birth to the naughty and mischievous Ninth Prince, so Zhao Yousheng was even more ignored.

After becoming an adult, Zhao Yousheng ranked third, but he was willing to be a follower behind the prince. He also had a baby face that would never grow up like his mother, and he never showed a sense of threat among his brothers. In his heart, he was just a son who was not handsome enough but still loyal, and he was far from being on his list of heirs.

But if you think about it carefully, although he looks immature, he has never missed the things entrusted to him, which is a secret.

The sixth son has a pleasant temperament, but he is not interested in government affairs, he only likes landscape poetry and painting, and has always been at odds with the ambitious Zhenguo Gongfu and Concubine An, but he has never restrained his natal family, I don't know if it is true Focusing on mountains and rivers is just a cover.

Whether it's true or not, he doesn't care about it now, as long as he is capable, capable, and able to trust Jiangshan.

In the next few, the Ninth Prince born by Concubine De looks pretty good, but he is too young, if he still has some years, maybe he can take a closer look, now, that's all!

In the end, I counted carefully, and I chose among the fourth and sixth.
