The Fate of the Red Chamber

Mo Han was conferred the title of county king, but he was actually just a virtuous king, and he hadn't become a filial piety yet, so the emperor didn't arrange any position with real power for him.

When the Lin family came to the capital, they were in the limelight for a while, either because of the empress dowager's special favor for the Lin family, or because they wanted to use the Lin family to climb into the princess mansion.However, Mo Han used the excuse of being filial piety for his father, and pushed back his daily human relations as much as he could, but he couldn't be polite enough.He hasn't figured out the situation in the capital yet, so he can't rashly get too close to a certain party, or they will be branded as a faction, and their clean days will come to an end.

Of course, Mo Han knew in his heart that the queen mother must never surrender, otherwise there would be only one end after being used by others.As for the rest of the forces, they are not successful, and it is difficult to compete with the Queen Mother at this time.

Looking at the court, the only one who can compete with the queen mother's faction is Prince Yicheng.Although he is not close friends with Prince Yicheng, this person is definitely not someone in the pool, but has been hiding his strength.Prince Yicheng is the son of the former emperor, there is no problem with his identity, he has been famous for a long time, and there are many people who support him, and Princess Ning'an should also support him.Princess Yicheng is the princess of the royal family of Xining, and the king of Xining will undoubtedly stand by his son-in-law.

Neither the Lin family nor Mo Han had any ambitions, they just wanted to protect themselves, and they would not make a move unless it was absolutely necessary.But you can't stand still, you must have a bargaining chip that the queen mother dare not touch them easily, otherwise it is really a man-made knife and I am a fish.

It's a pity that Mo Han wanted to keep a low profile and fade out of everyone's sight, but the Queen Mother refused to let him go.The last time I sent people to the south of the Yangtze River to search the Lin Mansion, the Empress Dowager saw clearly that the Lin family was not an ordinary mansion of fallen princes. Behind him was a representative of the Jiangnan scholars, and a little carelessness would cause the resistance of the Jiangnan clan.That being the case, it is better to subdue the scholars in the south of the Yangtze River through the Lin family.

Among the big families in the south of the Yangtze River, the Cha family in Haining, the Wang family in Kuaiji, the Zhang family in Hangzhou, the Liu family in Nanxun, the Chen family in Haining, the Mo family in Pinghu, etc., are all huge clans and have extensive ties.There is only one Lin family who has been passed down for several generations, and this generation has only one daughter. Even this son is adopted.

After the new emperor came to the throne, even with the support of the Zhongshun Palace, he was still unstable. If he had the support of the big clans in the south of the Yangtze River, the few palaces in the capital and the remaining old officials of the previous emperor would not be able to resist.

February [-]th is the Flower Festival and Daiyu's birthday.Everyone in the Lin family didn't plan to publicize it, but they didn't know how it got out.

Early in the morning, there were rewards from the palace, the empress dowager, the emperor and even the concubines in the harem were all polite.Next, Princess Zhongshun personally led a mighty group of servants to deliver generous gifts, all of which were rare treasures, and it was a bit of a waste to send a small birthday of a princess.

Perhaps seeing that the Queen Mother and the Emperor Zhongshun's Palace valued the Princess Hanxiang so much, many people from the Queen Mother's faction rushed over to send birthday gifts.The whole morning, the Lin residence was so noisy that there was no peace for a moment.

What is even more incomprehensible is that, somehow, by noon, all the people in the capital knew the names of the birthday presents from the Empress Dowager, the Emperor Zhongshun Palace, and everything was exactly the same.People in Lin's mansion would not leak the news, and because they were too busy, even Daiyu Mohan didn't have time to read the gift list carefully, so how could it spread, then there is only one possibility, that is, someone let the news out beforehand.

This person, I believe, must be the Empress Dowager.As a result, people who don't know the inside story will think that the Lin family has taken refuge in the Queen Mother, and that they will be loyal to the Queen Mother's party in the future.And the Lin family also made good friends with the Zha family and the Wang family. They took refuge in the Queen Mother. I don't know if those families knew about it. It's better to let the Lin family be a pathfinder first, and they all want to ask the Queen Mother.If those families didn't know, then the Lin family would obviously be kicked out of the Jiangnan scholar circle by them.

As soon as Mo Han received the congratulatory gift from Prince Zhongshun, he knew that this hot potato had already been thrown into their hands, so they couldn't help but not take it.Even though Daiyu didn't know the situation, she still felt uneasy. She was still in Xiaozhong, and it was definitely not a good thing that such a small birthday caused such a big repercussion.

In the evening of that day, after putting Daiyu to sleep, Mo Han quietly took his confidants out and headed towards Zha Shangshu's mansion.

In Shangshu Mansion, many people have been waiting anxiously, they all came to inquire about the news.Everyone met each other in a hurry, and they had a secret conversation for a while, and it wasn't until after the third watch that Mo Han rushed back to Lin's mansion.

Three days later, when the shock caused by Daiyu's birthday hadn't subsided, another shocking news spread from the Lin family: Mr. Wang of the Wang family decided to take Lin Mohan as his disciple, and he would come to Beijing soon.Mr. Wang is Wang Kai's father, and his talents are all over the world. Everyone knows that many people have smashed their heads to worship him as a teacher, but they can't get in.He only had eight apprentices in his life, except for his son Wang Kaizhi and nephew Wang Maozhi, the other six were from Jiangnan families, such as Chen Tingyi, Mo Zilu, and Zha Xuejiu.

What kind of luck did the Lin family have? First, they were crowned king and princess for no merit, then they were favored by Princess Ning'an, and now they were so valued by Mr. Wang that they were willing to go to the capital for Lin Mohan.Who knows that Mr. Wang has a stubborn temper, and no one can persuade him to change his decisions. Many years ago, he said that he would be with Qingfeng Mingyue in Kuaiji, but today he actually broke his rules in order to accept Lin Mohan as his apprentice.

But at least one thing is very clear, that is, the Lin family has not been excluded from the Jiangnan family, on the contrary, their status has become more and more detached.It's just that whether the Jiangnan family has taken refuge in the Queen Mother as a whole will not be revealed until Mr. Wang comes to the capital.

Not to mention how much discussion there is outside, just because Daiyu heard that Mr. Wang is going to accept her elder brother as his apprentice, she is absolutely delighted.When she was a child, she often heard her father talk about Mr. Wang, and she knew that he was a big figure looked up to by scholars in the south of the Yangtze River and even the world's scholars. He was famous in the government and the public, and it was enough to boast to get a few words from him, let alone his apprentice. , Which one is not a talented person from the Megatron side.

My brother is good at everything, but in the eyes of outsiders, he always thinks that he got up by relying on the Lin family, and many people have doubts about his talent and learning.Being able to win the favor of Mr. Wang now fully proves that my brother's talent and learning are worthy of the title of the only son of the Lin family, and his future is boundless.

In the future, if the queen mother wants to take the Lin family into action, she must also consider whether she can afford to provoke the people behind the Lin family. There will be many families in the capital that are closely related to the fate of the Lin family.
