The Legend of the Long Room in the Red Mansion

For a year, the whole country has not been smooth, so much so that the first day after the seal was opened, there was a rare silence. The emperor himself said for a long time that no one answered.

It is even rarer for the Supreme Emperor not to accompany him to listen to the government. It is said that it is because of the cold in the year, the wind is startled, it is difficult to get up, and he is recuperating in the Daming Palace.Basically everyone didn't believe this, and everyone was crazy about what unspeakable conflict happened between the two emperors, was it poisoning or assassination?Does the absence of the Supreme Emperor mean that the Emperor has the upper hand in this match?

The ministers were all busy thinking about it, so naturally no one was interested in listening to the emperor's encouragement. As for the new policy in the new year, the higher-ups had to come up with a reliable plan, and then the lower-level people could be assigned to implement it.The emperor wants to have a plan but has no plan, wants to have an idea but has no idea, but points to the subordinates to give him advice and help him earn credit, so that the world will sing praises, what a beautiful idea!Has anyone seen a minister who is so impartial?If they can really make achievements, they still want to add officials and ranks for themselves.

The Supreme Emperor who was hiding in the Daming Palace didn't really stop, no matter whether he was sick or not, he was still scratching his heart.

When Ning Shan came back from Haijiang, Zeng Jing offered two new kinds of grain, but unfortunately he didn't take it seriously.Seeing this, the group of bastards in Huangzhuang deliberately deceived them, resulting in extremely low production, so they were ignored by him.But who would have imagined that Ning Shan would distribute the grain to the common people for free and let them promote the planting by themselves.When the Supreme Emperor learned about it from his six sons, every household in the counties on the outskirts of Beijing and even the neighboring prefectures planted the new grain, and the output was astonishing.

Originally, in previous years, every winter, there would be reports of lack of clothing and food from all over the country, but today Jing Zhaoyin's place is peaceful, and no one asks for money from the household department.As long as several prefectures around the capital did not report the lack of food for the people, after asking for help, the Supreme Emperor inevitably became suspicious and sent his six sons to investigate in private, only to find out that these places without winter famine were all because The new grain that Ning Shan brought back.

So, when the Seventh Prince was still in the leisure time to go to Jia Amnesty, the Sixth Prince had already been urging the Supreme Emperor to confiscate all the grain grown in Ning Shan and let him promote it.This is such a good opportunity to win the hearts of the people. Once it is done, so that the people of Daxing will no longer be in danger of famine.

Compared with the Taishanghuang and the emperor who only stared at the honorable courtiers, this sixth prince who followed the popular line could barely be regarded as caring for the people. Although he said that his original intention was also for himself, he still had some scruples in his mind national.The Supreme Emperor didn't think so at all. At this time, the cultivation of grain was promoted, and the good reputation was also on the emperor there. After all, the year name had been changed long ago. When the people talked about the goodness of the imperial court, they would only remember it. Nowadays, who would go out of his way to thank the Supreme Emperor?

Therefore, the Taishanghuang's idea is to prevent him from finding out about this matter now. Anyway, Ning Shan has no intention of claiming credit, so he simply hides it for a few more years. During the government, this merit was only promoted.At that time, he can be said to be better than the three emperors and the five emperors of Degai, even the leader of this dynasty will be one step behind him.

The more he thinks about the more beautiful the Supreme Emperor, the most important thing is to hide it from the Emperor, so that he will not find out. For this reason, he did not hesitate to pretend to be sick and missed the first big court meeting in the beginning of the year. He also wanted to keep the Sixth Prince by his side. The idiot said it quickly, and the emperor noticed it.Of course the Sixth Prince didn't know what his father was thinking, and only when his father began to pay attention to him, he took him by his side to give pointers. The triumphant words in his words made him wish that there wasn't another Qianxiang who could poison him in the Palace of Regrets today. The imperial concubine, otherwise, he would have killed all these brothers before his eyes.

Thinking of poisoning for a moment, but remembering another thing.Last year, the Yizhong family, which had been in trouble for half a year, heard that there was an illegitimate daughter who married into the Jia family, but was killed. That is why Jia Yuanchun took credit for this and was awarded the title of concubine.Originally, the emperor had forgotten about this matter long ago, but he remembered it again during the poisoning section, so he went to Fengzao Palace and recruited Yuan Chun to ask what happened.

The matter of poisoning the Qin family is not a glorious thing. Although neither the Supreme Emperor nor the former Yizhong County King pursued responsibility, Yuan Chun's heart was empty. Now that the emperor asked her, she couldn't explain it clearly, so she pushed it all to her family. superior.Unexpectedly, since the idea of ​​poisoning the sixth prince came into the emperor's mind, he refused to let it go, and ordered Yuan Chun to find out who in her family had the drug, who had the means, how to poison, how to cover up, all ordered Yuan Chun Clarified the back and forth one by one.

Yuan Chun couldn't stop complaining in his heart. When the noble concubine was sent to death, the accusations were publicized inside and outside the palace. No civil and military man in the Manchu Dynasty was clear about the inside story. Even the folks had various legends.Of course Yuan Chun also knew that once the two were combined, he would figure it out. The emperor was using his hand smoothly, and which one did he want to poison to death? A fatal ending.

But since the emperor has shamelessly said it clearly, he will not allow her to refuse, otherwise she will die.Yuan Chun struggled in the palace for so many years, of course he didn't want to die for no apparent reason. After being in a dilemma for a long time, he finally made up his mind.As the emperor's concubine, she would not have good results even if she turned to the Supreme Emperor. In this case, why not use this to earn a future for herself?

Yuan Chun then sent a reliable person to report to the emperor. Although it was Grandmother Shi Taijun's idea to kill the Qin family, it was her mother who did it, and it was obtained from abroad when the Wang family was in charge of maritime trade. Yes, if you want to use it now, you still need to go to the Wang family to find it.However, these words cannot be conveyed through others, Mrs. Wang needs to enter the palace in person, and Yuan Chun can give the opportunity face to face.

However, Mrs. Wang was convicted, her imperial order was taken, and she was not allowed to enter the palace. Yuan Chun thought, either she went out of the palace to visit her relatives again, or rehabilitated her mother and erased the charges before she could act.The emperor wanted to let her go out of the palace to visit relatives without thinking, but was scolded by the emperor.Because the whole country is currently mourning the mourning emperor who was posthumously crowned by the former crown prince. In order to support Yinghua's child's enthronement in the future, the Supreme Emperor regards this matter as extremely important. Even the draft in the palace has been stopped, and everything has been made way for the posthumous funeral ceremony. , the harem concubine went to visit her relatives again, wouldn't it be a collision?

The emperor couldn't do it, so he had to find a way to erase the charges for Mrs. Wang, but it was the queen's job to order her wife to be promoted and dismissed, but how could the queen be willing to make a face for the other concubines?Yuan Chun offered advice, only saying that the emperor can give her father Jia Zheng a position, then her mother will be able to marry her as a husband, get a new imperial order, and naturally enter the palace.The emperor thought about it, and felt that this was a good idea. A junior official of the fifth or sixth rank could also be appointed by his wife, and the Supreme Emperor would not value this, so he immediately agreed, saying that he would appoint Jia Zheng as an official.

Jia Zheng had been idle at home for a few years, sighing day by day, lamenting that there was no way to serve the country, and finally the pie fell from the sky, but was suddenly named by the emperor, because last year there were several floods in the south of the Yangtze River, ruining some people's livelihood, Jia Zheng was arrested The point is the grain road, and he is ordered to check the relief.As expected, the Supreme Emperor did not interfere with such small officials, and the emperor's imperial decree was passed on smoothly.For a while, everyone in the Grand View Garden was rushing to praise, Shi Taijun also accepted the idea that he regretted not long ago, and began to think about his youngest son's luck. After that, she would look for the relationship with her old relatives, ask someone to protect her capital, and recommend him to join the cabinet. This is the life that her son raised by Jia Shishi should have.

Mrs. Wang is also very happy, this Jia Zheng finally has an official position again, her edict should come back, and the person who was deprived of it was a pleasant person from the fifth rank, now she should go a step further and get a respectful edict Bar.

Because of this Lantern Festival and Yuanchun, Jia She was displeased when he gave the Grand View Garden gifts from the palace. Now, when he heard that Jia She had been hand-picked as a grain priest, not only was there a real shortage, but he was even worse than the dismissed Ministry of Industry. Yuanwailang got taller, so he jumped up immediately, jumping up and down and yelling loudly in the room.

Ning Shan also felt strange, wondering why the new emperor had taken a fancy to Jia Zheng, and also couldn't figure out why Jia Yuanchun, who had been struggling to find someone to pass the message to him, suddenly had blue eyes.It's just that he is used to knowing that the family is very light-boned, and everyone will know about something good, so he is not in a hurry to inquire about it, anyway, they will blow it out themselves.

But Jia Amnesty didn't want to wait. His official position up to now was still a fifth-rank member of the Ministry of War, and a third-rank title was still empty.Now that the second son of Zheng has become the Daoist, isn't he going to jump on his head?Jia Amnesty could bear anything, but he couldn't bear Jia Zheng surpassing him one more time, so he immediately made a fuss around Ning Shan, only telling him to go to the Supreme Emperor and get Jia Zheng removed.

Jia Lian came to report the news. Jia Yuanchun rewarded the Jia family with the Lantern Festival gift, which was also given to Jia Lian and his wife. People went to the mansion of the protector to announce the reward.Jia Lian was originally entrusted by Sister Feng, so she came to ask, to see how the master and wife planned to arrange the reward, whether to send it over to see, or they received it in the library and finished.As a result, before he even left the house, he heard the people next door starting to make noises happily. After inquiring, he found out that Jia Zheng got an official position and was having a carnival with his family.

Just like Jia Amnesty, the virtue of finding Ning Shan when you need something has been well inherited by Jia Lian, and now both father and son stand in front of Ning Shan with sad faces, each imagining that Yuan Chun in the palace will be favored, be kind to Jia Zheng, and incidentally The irreversible consequences that may be caused to them after the Grand View Garden.

Ning Shan felt bored after listening to it for a while. Neither of these fathers is a well-read person of poetry and books.Ning Shan said lazily: "It's just a fourth rank, you are still afraid of him if you are a regular fourth rank? If you dare to put on airs for you, you can put on the official uniform, and he will salute you immediately."

Jia Lian was comforted, but Jia Amnesty's face was even more wrinkled: "Then what should I do?" Do you want to wait for the second son of the government to put on an official uniform and show off to him?

Ning Shan glanced at him, and was very surprised how Jia She's mind was lost this year: "If you don't have enough official uniforms, don't you know how to wear a noble robe? The marquis of super quality, he won't even dare to squat when he kneels." .”

Jia Amnesty wrinkled his face and slapped his thigh with his hand, and said, "It's fine to be somewhere nearby, what should I do if I'm on an errand? I can't go to the Ministry of War in a noble robe? Isn't that just looking for smoke?" There is still a son, Jia Amnesty, who wears a royal robe to go to work. Those who know know that he is going to step on the second son of the government. Those who don’t know think that he has gone to the Ministry of War to make trouble. How can he mess around in the future?

Jia Lian had the bottom line in his mind, and his mind began to turn: "Master, don't worry, my son has inquired about it. The errand of the grain road is going out of Beijing, and there is not much chance for the second master to wander up and down to hinder your old eyes. .”

Jia Amnesty was still unhappy: "Not much is how much? Anyway, there are still some, right? Huh, I just don't like seeing the political second child give me a favour." After finishing speaking, he looked at Ning Shan expectantly. He's a jerk, but the eldest son is different, he's there to support his father.
