[Red Mansion] Sister Lin's sweet pet after marriage

The autumn wind is bleak, and the city is full of plains.The days of bitter wind and bitter rain in the capital made the plain and clean look even darker, and the winter chill seemed to have invaded silently.

When Daiyu came, she saw that there was only a jug of remnant wine on the table, a lonely wine bowl, and no appetizers, so she knew that the haze in his heart was hard to get rid of, so she didn't ask any more questions, so she just picked a place and sat down. The man added another pair of chopsticks bowls and cooked three or four exquisite side dishes.

Cold wine was simmering on the stove, and there was a cold mellow aroma in the air.Seeing that Shuilan's cup was empty, Daiyu rolled up her sleeves and filled it up for him. She raised her head and drank a cup with her, and then ate two mouthfuls of side dishes. Now, I can only add two small dishes, which can be regarded as borrowing flowers to offer Buddha."

Shui Lan didn't raise her head, she took the wine with her lips, drank two or three cups in a row, and said in a low voice: "Yu'er drink less, one or two cups will promote blood circulation and remove blood stasis, a few more cups will hurt the liver and stomach, you are born weak, or Be careful."

Although the language is still considerate, Daiyu is still sensitive to hear the strong weariness in it, and can't help but hold Shui Lan's right hand that is still holding the cup: "What worries the prince, although I am not good, I can listen to you Throwing up, I'm afraid I'm so bored, you didn't often comfort me like this before, why don't you understand when you meet me now?"

Shui Lan just raised her head, saw her eyes were as gentle as water, and sighed dejectedly: "What Ma'am said is that this is called the fascination of the authorities. It's not that you can't tell people, but my heart is very confused, I don't know where to go. Let's talk about it."

Daiyu knew that he was decisive in killing and attacking outside, and he had always acted vigorously and resolutely. Now that he was depressed, it was inevitable that it was because of the death of the emperor, so she looked at his expression, and then said: "The emperor is dead, how many people are secretly applauding. I I thought the prince would be happy for two days, but I didn't expect it to be faster than before."

Putting down the cup and sighing, Shui Lan gave a hoarse wry smile: "Mr. Zhang once said that I have a tough heart and keep a low profile. Now that the people on my head are all dead, why should I keep a low profile? I just realized that, compared to seeing If he dies, some people and things cannot be exchanged.”

Due to days of toil, Shui Lan's eyes were reddened, and at this time there was a flash of water, Daiyu thought for a while, and knew that he must have thought of Queen Dugu, her soft heart felt pain, and she hurriedly comforted her "Your Majesty, don't think so. You told me that day at the Lin House in Gusu, if I didn't know how to cherish myself, people in heaven would not bear it."

Shui Lan was silent for a long while, took Dai Yu over and sat on her lap, leaned over and buried her head in her warm neck, feeling at a loss and helplessness like never before: "Yu'er, I feel better with you around." A lot. Ten years ago today, my mother was poisoned to death in the Daming Palace. She was dragged into a carriage and sent outside the palace without even seeing her for the last time. I always remember the long corridor , echoing with heart-piercing cries, like flakes of rust that have been sharpened, hitting the bottom of my heart one by one..."

Before he could finish his sentence, the dim candlelight swayed from side to side in the room, faint and dim, causing countless desolate reveries for no reason.

When Daiyu heard this, tears rolled down the back of her hand like a broken thread, and she felt a lot of distress: how tough and stable he was in the eyes of others, there was so much sourness behind him, and this side can only be understood by facing herself. Really show.

Suddenly, she raised her head from her tearful eyes, and called out softly: "Don't be afraid, An Lan, Yu'er will always be with you, and there will be no more things about the queen mother. We still have sweet potatoes, have you forgotten?"

Shui Lan didn't speak, just put her hand on her palm, so that the two people's hands were tightly intertwined, as if two vines were finally entwined into one force, especially in such a cold night, with vigorous Vitality and warmth.

The emperor passed away, no matter how mournful it is today, the grand military plan cannot be delayed for a moment, so after the resignation of the emperor on the 27th, the previous Jiangnan salt case began to be reheard.

Therefore, the case involved several Lianghuai salt administrators and many salt merchants, so the former salt administrator Gao Russia, Yangzhou Zhipu Zhongfu, and salt transportation envoy Zeng Heng, who embezzled huge amounts of money, were sentenced to prison and executed after autumn. All officials of the Yan government were tried and investigated, and dozens of officials, large and small, were punished and dismissed.

However, I thought that things would gradually subside after these people were ransacked and interrogated, but who knew that everything was just the beginning.Starting from the salt affairs case, Emperor Yongqing successively punished a group of courtiers from the emperor's period, even Taizong's period, for bribery, leaking secrets, cover-up and connivance, etc., and at the same time abolished the emperor with lightning speed. The promulgated four-auxiliary government system restores the prime minister's office, and only seven prime ministers are appointed to handle emergency state affairs.

Shui Lan really doesn't take it seriously for the urgentness of today.On this day in Mingde Hall, discussing the follow-up of the Jiangnan salt case, Shui Lan advocated holding it high and letting it go. If he is unyielding and willful, it will easily lead to instability of the situation and floating of people's hearts, but King Beijing interjected: "King Lian This statement is wrong, the salt administration in the south of the Yangtze River has been corrupted for a long time, and these officials are half-hearted, if we don’t take this opportunity to eradicate the grass, we are afraid that there will be endless troubles in the future.”

Shui Lan heard that King Beijing's tone was not kind, and then glanced at Emperor Yongqing. Seeing that he did not interrupt King Beijing's words, her mind immediately woke up, and the smile on her face faded a bit: "The king of Beijing Jing is also right to worry, and he should listen to the judgment of the Holy One."

Emperor Yongqing seemed to think about it for a moment, before slowly spit out a sentence: "Even so, according to King Beijing's intention, anyone who is related to the Jiangnan salt case, no matter the details, as long as the evidence is convincing, they will be punished as crony crimes. No exception."

As a result, the second round of investigation into the salt case kicked off vigorously. Most of the officials questioned this time were not actually involved in the case, but were mostly reported by colleagues in the DPRK and China. The area is more like shrouded in dark clouds, and it is difficult to see the sun.

Since the death of the emperor, the political balance of the previous dynasty has been broken again.Half of the old ministers who had been entrusted with important tasks were either demoted or questioned. The queen's mother family, the Meng family, filled a lot of vacancies, and the queen lived in the middle palace and gave birth to a son. Any festival was accompanied by the emperor's side, and her status was always Stable as one, so the Meng family is really beautiful.King Jing of Beijing has also been taking the lead recently, and he put a lot of effort into the investigation of the salt case. On the contrary, King Lian, who had always been relied on before, was very cautious in his actions and words, and he fell into the middle way.

As a result, Shui Lan is not as busy as before, often accompanying Daiyu and her daughter to recite poems and paint, laugh and play, and personally practice calligraphy for Xiangyu Kaimeng, just happy to have a leisurely time.Daiyu naturally felt that something was wrong, and asked a few words in private, seeing Shui Lan's expression was calm, and her tone was just as usual: "It's nothing, what I'm worried about is that if the cunning rabbit is cooked like a dog, it will chill the hearts of some old officials." The Holy Majesty is a little too hasty, wishing to replace the entire court with new ministers, this may not be a good thing."

Daiyu is extremely intelligent, she understood it after a little thought, and sneered silently: "I think it's because the King of Beijing is flattering and courteous, and the prince is worried about going against the emperor, and instead, a rift has arisen."

Shui Lan didn't care too much, and patted her hand, the smile in her eyes was as warm as the warm sun in early winter, gentle and stable: "Whatever he thinks, we only care about us. Anyway, the gate of Prince Lian's mansion is always Towards this point, whether the person in the imperial city comes or not, life will continue as usual." After a pause, he added meaningfully: "It's good to be able to climb high, but you still have to stand firm. ah."

Daiyu kept nodding her head, but she couldn't help sighing secretly, as expected, she couldn't help herself when she was born in the royal family, the so-called companionship with a monarch is like companionship with a tiger, and the theory of impermanence in the world is only deeply understood today.

Compared with King Lian's extreme humility from beginning to end, the Meng family and King Beijing Jing are extremely high-profile, often with bright lights and even all night long, gathering upstart students from current and former records. Now the court hall is turbulent, but it is empty. For the coveted title, investing in the two sects has become the only way to the imperial court, so it is not surprising that the two prefectures are competing for the sun.

It was more than two months after Emperor Yongqing came to seek Shui Lan's opinion again.At that time, just under the New Year's Eve, King Beijing proposed to let King Zhongshun, who was imprisoned in the prison, be buried with the Lord on the grounds that "the emperor entrusted him with a dream, and he was lonely."With Shui Lan's temperament, Emperor Yongqing thought he would hesitate for a while, but he didn't even have the slightest hesitation this time, and said in a loud voice: "Zhongshun has a foreign country, and the evidence is conclusive. I justify it with this reason, and leave the whole world behind." The corpse is already a great grace of the emperor, and there is no better way." Emperor Yongqing was very happy when he heard that, and hurriedly handed it over to King Beijing.

It's the festive season, and the lanterns are hanging high everywhere, making it lively and colorful.Only the dungeon is cold and humid all the year round, and the ground is full of snakes, insects, rats and ants, which is extremely dirty.Jiang Yuhan, who was dressed in disguise, concealed seven points of his face. When he saw the disheveled and filthy King Zhongshun, he couldn't help being surprised and happy, and a malicious smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "Your Majesty, can you still see the king?" Do you remember?"

King Zhongshun was stunned for a long time, carefully distinguishing the soft voice for a while, Fang Rumeng woke up and called out: "You...you are Qi Guan'er?"

Jiang Yuhan took off the hood and smiled, only the original charm was still in the eyes, and said regretfully: "The prince doesn't seem to want me to come, didn't you love me to serve you the most?"

King Zhongshun's eyes widened in shock, he couldn't believe what he saw, but he heard thin laughter echoing in the cell.That smile used to be very ecstatic, but at this moment it sounds like a ghost crying and whimpering, which makes people thorn in the back.

The laughter gradually stopped, and Jiang Yuhan took out an extremely tough filament from the basket she was carrying, caught off guard and strangled King Zhongshun's neck from behind. Zi, the whole person fell on his back, struggling with his hands and feet, choking and coughing in his mouth, and asked intermittently: "You...in the end..."

"Didn't you expect the honorable King Zhongshun to die in the hands of a plaything?" Jiang Yuhan's eyes were still charming, but his voice was colder than iron, and he sarcastically said: "I'm merciful, let you understand when you die. From the homicide case to the evidence of foreign crimes in you, they were all set up early in the morning, and it just so happens that His Majesty the Emperor wants you to die, and I have paid off for bearing the burden of humiliation all these years."

The thread bit his throat desperately, and King Zhongshun felt suffocated, but he tried his best to ask again: "You can't...do it...Who is it?"

Jiang Yuhan saw his eyes turn white, and the accumulated lumps in his chest disappeared immediately, and he laughed heartily like never before: "Do you want to know? I won't tell you, I just remember that you died in the In my hand, there is a wrong and a debt, so if you want to repay it, just come to me!" After speaking, he pulled it desperately, and something fell miserably into the dust like a piece of paper.

On the third day of the first lunar month of the seventh year of Yongqing, the emperor dreamed of Zhongshun very much. Although he couldn't bear it, he dared not disobey his father's will.

After the death of King Zhongshun, the turmoil in the imperial court had not yet ended. With the instruction of "rectifying the style of officials and investigating the integrity of the government", the orders to rectify officials at all levels are still in full swing.At this moment, King Lian made an unexpected statement, which made the emperor, who was quite proud recently and felt that he had relieved the depression of more than 20 years, deeply frowned.
