The family has a throne to inherit

The Holy Majesty still gave enough time to the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the Ministry of Rites. Among other things, it would take quite a while to make the dragon robes for the new emperor!Even with a brand-new loom, the dragon robe is still made of the most traditional Kesi technique, and the patterns on it are all woven with gold and silver threads. Therefore, no matter how skilled the weaver is, it will not be possible to weave it in a year. How much material to produce, plus the subsequent cutting and sewing, and additional embroidery patterns are very time-consuming and energy-consuming.

Forget about foreign objects, and etiquette and specifications, all of which require a lot of effort. Calculating the time, it can't be done in a few months. Just like this, they still overestimated their efficiency.

During this period of time, the Holy Majesty began to take the prince with him, and further taught him how to deal with many things in the court. Originally, these things needed to be understood by himself. After all, the occupation of the emperor has never been based on learning. What can be learned is through practice. If you are not in this position, it will be difficult for you to see the overall situation and you will often be limited.

Situ Yu has been the prince for so many years, but he is only a prince. Since the Holy Majesty intends to pass on the throne, he should clarify some key points so as to avoid detours.

The entire imperial court is working hard for a smooth transition of power, but in Yangzhou, Jia Min is no longer able to do it.

Jia Min's death at this age is actually not a premature death. After all, the average life expectancy is here these days. Jia Min is the mother of three children. The eldest son Lin Heng is almost ready to marry a wife. It's not to concentrate on the scientific examination, I'm afraid I have children now.

The only thing to worry about is the youngest daughter, who is only five or six years old now, probably because Jia Min was not too young when she was pregnant. After she was born, she was born with some congenital deficiencies, so that she has always been a little delicate, and she will get sick from time to time. When I was born, I had some visions. Although I had sealed my mouth a long time ago, who knows if anyone would associate it with their family!

Jia Min was originally in good health, but just two years ago, her youngest daughter, Daiyu, fell ill. Suddenly, two obscene-looking monks and Taoist priests came to her and wanted to make her a monk, and they said some crazy things, saying He couldn't see people with other surnames, he couldn't hear crying, etc. Lin Hai called someone to drive him away. Later, when Daiyu recovered from his illness, Jia Min also fell ill.This seems to be the beginning. After that time, Jia Min's health has been bad. It's like turning into a paper man. Even if he gets a little bit of wind, he will get sick.

According to the doctor, Jia Min's physical deficit was there a few years ago, accumulated up to now, and stimulated together, and then he can only slowly raise it.Because of the doctor's words, the family naturally did not anger Daiyu because of this, but felt sorry for the little sister. Daiyu was still young and Jia Min was in poor health, so it was difficult to take care of her, but Daiyu was also very sensible, especially Lin Hai and his two elder brothers were very distressed.

Jia Min has been lingering on the sick bed, but her mother's family can't make her worry.Forget about what happened before, it's over on the surface.After Jia Daishan's filial piety was finally out, Jia She was left in the cold for a while, and then continued to work with the East Palace, but immediately after hearing that they wanted Yuan Chun to participate in the election, she felt it was inappropriate at that time, That’s all for the general election. Even if His Majesty wants to keep people at his age, the ones he keeps are the daughters of families with no family background. He even simply picks two of the maids who are considered outstanding to serve. In fact, His Majesty None remained in the last election.No matter how bad the selected one is, he will be given a marriage to the prince of the clan as a concubine. Even if it fails, it will not affect the marriage.

However, Xiaoxuan is different, except for small households, that is, those poor and settled families who will send their daughters to the palace to serve others. But now, Jia's family is also a Hou's mansion, so how come they have to send their daughter to participate in the election!As a result, before this side had time to write a letter to persuade, news came over there, and the two brothers tore their faces and separated.

Jia Min was actually relieved at the time. When he was at home, Jia Min really didn't realize that Jia Zheng, the second elder brother, was such an unreliable person. , That's fine, but he is still very capable of making troubles. Jia Min couldn't help but get a headache when he thought of the information vaguely leaked from his family letters.On the contrary, the eldest brother Jia She, who was often scolded since he was a child, is relatively reliable, but he has been implicated several times.

Jia Zheng insisted on going his own way and sent his daughter to the palace. Jia Min and Yuan Chun met only twice, so naturally he didn't have any feelings for this niece, but when he thought of Yuan Chun's life in the future, he couldn't help but sigh. He was sent into the fire pit!Where in the palace is a place where a spoiled young lady like her can stay!

Jia Min's side just got better, and she was able to take Daiyu outside the city to pray to the gods and worship Buddha. There was another news from the Jia family that Jia Zhu died!

Jia Min still has a deep impression of Jia Zhu. When Jia Zhu was taking the exam in Jiangnan, he even visited Yangzhou to visit his uncle and aunt. Jia Zhu said that his appearance was not as good as Jia Hu's, but he seemed more honest. , and his temperament is very gentle. Jia Min still liked this nephew, but he passed away at a young age. It was inevitable that Jia Min couldn't bear it, and fell ill all of a sudden.

Jia Min's illness has lasted for several months, and he couldn't struggle during the Chinese New Year. The doctors in Yangzhou City came one after another, but they were helpless to deal with Jia Min's condition. He was straightforward and said directly, Madam. The deadline is approaching, let her be happy at this last moment!

Happy hell!Just in time for the Holy Majesty to ask for the seat of Zen, Lin Hai, as the chief official, not only had to prepare congratulatory gifts, but also had to go to Beijing. Therefore, he couldn’t spend more time with Jia Min, so this matter was naturally suppressed. In the case of the eldest son, Lin Heng, the second son, Lin Zhe, also had to help run errands. As for the little girl, Daiyu, she could only talk with Jia Min when she was not studying, hoping that Jia Min would get well. Woke up.Daiyu is born intelligent, but at this age, she still has no concept of death, she is only infected by the tension and worries of her family members, and she is always like a frightened little rabbit, with some fear in her heart.

The Zen ceremony was held in the next year, and it happened that the chief officials from all over the country came to Beijing to report their duties. After attending the Zen ceremony, they returned to the local office. Although Lin Hai was very worried about Jia Min at home, it was the twelfth lunar month He still rushed to Beijing by boat, not because he didn't want to be faster, but because he wanted to bring congratulatory gifts to the Holy Majesty and the future new emperor, all of which had to be loaded on the boat, and if he walked on the official road, he would have to slow down.Fortunately, even in the north, the canal did not freeze, and the journey was relatively smooth.

When Lin Hai entered Beijing, he met Situ Jin who was returning from Huangzhuang to the palace. Lin Hai quickly got out of the car to salute. He was very grateful to Situ Jin, if Situ Jin hadn't pointed out the crisis of the Lin family that day Well, how can the Lin family look like it is now, it may be said that they are really going to die.

Lin Hai came to Beijing this time, in addition to reporting on his work and attending the Zen ceremony, he also wanted to see if he could marry his son Lin Heng. Jia Min is not in good health now, and some doctors have hinted that the Lin family should prepare early. Afterwards, Lin Hai didn't want to marry a daughter-in-law to come back to celebrate, but wanted to marry a suitable daughter-in-law, so that she could help take care of Daiyu after marriage.The so-called widow and eldest daughter don't marry, if Jia Min goes, Lin Hai has no intention of marrying another, but there must be someone who has to take care of the Lin family, so there needs to be a suitable clan wife.

Lin Hai regretted it now. He thought that he would get married after his son passed the exam, and then he could marry someone better. Just like Lin Hai himself, if he was just a juror, how could he marry the daughter of the Duke's Mansion.

Who would have known that Jia Min's body had reached this level all of a sudden?At this time, there is less room for choice in getting married.Of course, there are still some families in the south of the Yangtze River who are willing to marry the Lin family, but Lin Hai is the only branch of the Lin family. Therefore, in fact, what the Lin family needs is a daughter-in-law who can take on the duties of the clan wife. Such qualities are rare.

Although Lin Heng's studies are a little worse than Lin Hai's in the past, he is not far behind. In the future, it should not be a problem to become a Jinshi. Under such circumstances, Lin Heng's wife should naturally have a lower family background, otherwise In the future, when Lin Heng enters the officialdom, it will be difficult to give Lin Heng much help so that he has no worries.For example, Lin Hai, after marrying Jia Min, not only got the help of Jia's family, but also Jia Min's housekeeper, dealing with people, dealing with family members, and handling everything. Even if Lin Heng's wife is not as good as Jia Min, she can't be much worse.

However, Lin Hai has been working outside these years, and he doesn't know much about the situation in Beijing, so the only ones who can ask for help are the Yue family.

Seeing Situ Jin now, thinking about what happened back then, Lin Hai couldn't help but sigh.Situ Jin looked Lin Hai up and down. Although Lin Hai was already in his forties, he was still wearing a regular uniform, but he was still slender. He was not like many people in the officialdom. When he was middle-aged, his waistline would have to match He is taller, but his figure is well maintained. He has a few long beards now, but he doesn't look old. On the contrary, he has a mature and transparent meaning brought by the years. His brows and eyes are clear, and he looks graceful No reduction in the year.

Situ Jin thought of Lin Hai's face that he saw back then, and now he looked at it again, and couldn't help raising his eyebrows. Lin Hai's eyebrows were a little gloomy, and looking at his spirit, Situ Jin asked tentatively: "Mr. But there are patients?"

Lin Hai was stunned for a moment, and then realized that this prince is also an expert, and he said quickly: "Your Highness's eyes are like torches, it is really my wife's lingering illness for the past two years, and now her condition is getting worse!"

Situ Jin had never met Jia Min before, so he didn't know, but after thinking about it, he still felt that it was a bit strange, so he simply reminded: "I am low-level, so I can't see anything, but Master Lin still invites Master Zhang and the others to come again." Just help me take a look!"

Lin Hai was startled. Although what happened back then, Lin Hai really didn't think about Jia Min's condition. Now that he thinks about it, this matter is really strange. Several doctors swore that it was Jia Min. I was short of health before, but because of the thin population, the Lin family always pays special attention to their health, and will ask the doctor to come to ask for a pulse every once in a while. Why didn't they find out anything before? The question is, did it explode all of a sudden?

Lin Hai thought about the two monks who came to the door inexplicably, and immediately frowned, and immediately bowed to Situ Jin: "Thank you for reminding, Your Highness, and I will ask Zhenren Zhang to help when I turn around!"

After Situ Jin made it clear, he stopped talking about this topic. He waved his hand: "It's good that you know what's in your mind. I'm going to enter the palace too. Master Lin will do it himself!" leave.

On Lin Hai's side, Jia's family had received news before, and they had sent people to wait at the gate of the city these days.

The person who came to greet him was Lin Zhixiao, the current big housekeeper. Lin Zhixiao came forward with a group of servants, and hurriedly bowed first: "Greetings, my aunt, my master knew that my aunt was coming these days, so he has sent me to wait here! Master Originally, I wanted to come and pick him up in person, but the master has been doing business in the East Palace these days, but he can't do it, so please forgive me!"

Lin Hai smiled and said: "It turned out to be Steward Lin. The words of my brother-in-law really upset me. I am going to Beijing to report on my work, so my brother-in-law will pick me up in person!"

Lin Zhixiao said again that he had already cleaned up the yard, and asked Lin Hai to follow him into the mansion, but Lin Hai quickly declined. He was returning to Beijing to report on his work. After entering Beijing, the first thing he should do is to go to the Ministry of Household Affairs. If he is lucky, he may not How can I go to visit Yue's family right now, even if I have been summoned by the Holy Majesty!

Lin Zhixiao also understood this, and took a group of servants to move all kinds of luggage, gifts, annual gifts and other things brought by Lin Hai to Rong'anhou Mansion first, and most of the servants brought by Lin Hai also followed. They walked together, and Lin Hai brought a few entourages with him, and went to the post house first.

When he arrived at the post house, Lin Hai took the time to wash and change clothes, and hurriedly wrote letters and posts. The letters were sent to Yangzhou, and the posts were to be delivered to Qingxu Temple. He would come to visit tomorrow. In the twelfth lunar month, Zhenren Zhang is going to Yangzhou to help solve the problem, so the etiquette is naturally more grand.

Situ Jin went directly to the palace, but still went directly to Changning Palace first.

Ever since the Holy Majesty said that she was about to abdicate, Empress Xie has become more at ease, and she has gradually handed over palace affairs to the Crown Princess.The Crown Princess is not her serious daughter-in-law, so Empress Xie didn't bother to say anything to her. If she talked too much, the Crown Princess would think that Empress Xie was holding on to the imperial power and wanted to control herself!

Empress Xie really didn't know the Crown Princess very well. Although the Crown Princess also went to Changning Palace to pay her respects as usual, her behavior was always very standard. She never showed too much emotion, and always had a calm and measured appearance.

It's no wonder that Situ Yu and the Crown Princess have always been more than polite, but not intimate enough. If the Crown Princess looked like this in the East Palace, Situ Yu would have been uncomfortable holding it outside by herself, and when she returned to her own palace, If you have to hold it to your own daughter-in-law, that would be very boring.What's more, the posture of the crown princess always makes people inevitably give birth to some appearance that she is always preparing, which inevitably makes people feel a little uncomfortable.

However, now that the grandson is registered, and he is the son of the crown prince's direct relative, if there is no accident in the future, the next emperor in the future will be too hurt. It is inevitable that the crown prince will look more reserved and dignified.

Empress Xie didn't want to care about the wife and concubines of the Eastern Palace. The Crown Princess had a good hand, so how she played it was up to her. Empress Xie was not related to her, so there was no need to give her any advice. Maybe others would think her Any ideas!

When Situ Jin came back, the Crown Princess had just left. Empress Xie leaned against the soft pillow, covered her mouth and yawned, and touched You Bless's ear with her other hand. When she saw Situ Jin coming in, she couldn't help complaining: "Your second Sister-in-law, she always looks upright, which makes me a little tense. Fortunately, many things are about to be handed over. After the new year, I will give her the Phoenix Seal and the Zhonggong Notebook, and it will be fine. No problem!" If there is anything, Empress Xie doesn't want to say it, the main reason is that the princess concubine is now showing the appearance of a natural hostess, which makes Empress Xie feel that she is not old enough, and there are people rushing to chase her away The feeling of walking is inevitably a little boring.

Fortunately, Empress Xie is lenient. If she cared about everything, she would have been too fussy.If Empress Xie had the same temperament as Concubine Zhen Gui, she wouldn't be stunned to death now!Concubine Zhen has become a little unreasonable since the Holy Majesty announced the Zen position. Empress Xie can be sure that with the Holy Majesty's character, even if she is overwhelmed, it is impossible to do anything unreasonable to Zhen Guifei under any circumstances. As for the actual promise, I don't know where Zhen Guifei's confidence comes from!Now you are dumbfounded, no matter how much the Holy Majesty loves Concubine Zhen, there is a bottom line, no matter how beautiful and affectionate Concubine Zhen is, can it be compared to the Empress Yuan?

However, Concubine Zhen could not see the reality clearly. She seemed to have had a quarrel with the Holy One before, which annoyed the Holy Majesty. Although she didn't do anything to Concubine Zhen, but when she turned around, she cut down the Zhen family's party almost one by one. Immediately, the Zhen family It stopped.

In fact, the Holy Majesty is also doing it for the good of the Zhen family. The Zhen family is his confidant, let alone the old relationship with the prince, there are only old grievances. His own son was opposed to doing this kind of thing that would damage the authority of the new king. The Holy Majesty didn't want to do it. If that was the case, why would he abdicate?The Holy Majesty actually wanted to give the Zhen family a buffer and let the crown prince see that the Zhen family has been honest, and considering such a heavy relationship in the future, even in the future, they will be less aggressive!However, the Majesty is like this, the Zhen family doesn't really appreciate it, what they have done is far more exaggerated than the Majesty imagined, so they can't guarantee that after the crown prince ascends the throne, will he settle accounts after the fall, so although it is open It became quiet on the Internet, but secretly, there were some small calculations.
