[Red Chamber] Mrs. Lin replaced her

There was a rebellion in Ping'an Prefecture.The second prince, who was supposed to guard the mausoleum of the emperor in the mausoleum, left the mausoleum secretly, sneaked into Ping'an Prefecture, and colluded with the local defenders and bandits. the throne, ascend to the throne of God himself.

Once the news came, there was an uproar in the court.There are those who denounce the Second Prince's party for being perverse and treacherous, some who hesitate and wait and see cautiously, some who gloat and celebrate in secret, and some even secretly pray in their hearts that the Second Prince can successfully usurp the throne... However, No matter what everyone thought in their hearts, at least on the surface, they all expressed disdain and reprimand for the behavior of the second prince.

Looking at those courtiers who were righteous on the surface but didn’t know what they were thinking in their hearts, the new emperor knew very well, except for those who were on his side from the beginning and had been completely tied to him, such as Lin Haijiazi , such as Wei Cheng Feng Tang, such as the empress's natal family and others, most of the courtiers are actually waiting and watching, waiting to see who will be the winner in this battle between him and the second prince.If the second prince succeeds in usurping the throne in the end, then the words they reprimanded the second prince for going against the grain and going against the sky today will fall on him...

Therefore, for the new emperor, the importance of this rebellion is no less than that of the war in the sea.Thinking of the real gold and silver that had just been collected in the treasury, the new emperor couldn't help feeling confident: he could afford to deal with two wars at the same time.What's more, the money owed to the national treasury by the Guixun family has not been repaid; if all the money owed is recovered, even if the two battles are delayed for three to five years, it will not be too big. question.Thinking of this, the new emperor sneered in his heart, but he didn't know how long the money in his "good" brother's hand could last.

In fact, the second prince would do such a thing, and the new emperor didn't find it strange at all: the second prince had coveted the throne for a long time, how could he see the new emperor, the elder brother of the prince whom he had never seen since he was a child, sitting peacefully? On the dragon chair?

The second prince is the son of the emperor's successor.Although he didn't get the favor of the emperor very much after that, he still holds the status of the first son after all.For the new emperor, who was canonized as the crown prince at birth, the arrogant second prince has always been extremely unconvinced—they are all legitimate sons, so why should the new emperor be the prince at birth, but he only wants to be a prince? Can you look up at that position forever?Therefore, the second prince has been full of jealousy and hatred towards the new emperor, who was the prince at the time, since he was a child, and he is only thinking about how to pull the new emperor down from that position.

However, the new emperor was brought up by the emperor, and the relationship between father and son is very close. Even if the second prince hates the new emperor, he can only watch helplessly.However, as the new emperor got older, he became more and more proficient in government affairs in the court, and his prestige in the hearts of the courtiers and the people became higher and higher. The emperor gradually became worried about the new emperor. Divorce, a growing rift between father and son: Although the new emperor still occupies the title of prince, it seems that he is getting farther and farther away from that position.At the same time, under the intentional guidance of the new emperor, the second prince gradually changed his opponent from the prince to the third prince who was most favored by the emperor and had the support of a strong mother family.

At that time, the second prince and the third prince fought fiercely, and they all looked like they wanted to kill each other.Although it seems to many people that fratricide is a very cruel thing, the emperor is very willing to see such a scene in his heart: the more fiercely the sons fight, the more the power of the courtiers is divided, the more important his position will be. will be more stable.However, the struggle between the second prince and the third prince finally touched the bottom line of the emperor and led to the abdication of the emperor. The throne was passed directly to the new emperor, while the second and third princes were imprisoned.After being imprisoned, the second prince was not reconciled, and had been deliberately trying to usurp the throne.The new emperor also knew that the second prince's ambition had not subsided.However, what he didn't expect was that the second prince was good at forbearance, and did not do anything until today.

In fact, if the second prince has been trapped in the capital, he can only look at the "bit" and sigh.However, after the emperor passed away, the second prince wrote a letter in public, requesting to guard the tomb.Although the new emperor didn't want to let him go out of his nose, he couldn't refuse his request, and in the end he could only let him leave the capital - even if the new emperor sent someone to watch secretly, it was not as good as when he was in the capital. General convenience.Of course, if the emperor hadn't released the imprisoned second prince in order to block the new emperor, such a thing would not have happened.In this way, the second prince escaped from the sight of the new emperor, and secretly colluded with the defenders of Ping'an Prefecture. Only then did he have the opportunity to usurp the throne.

Of course, the new emperor has to admit that the timing of the second prince's choice is very good: the war in the coastal areas involved a large part of the court's combat power, plus the war in Ping'an Prefecture, the two-front battle, whether it is for the treasury's money or for the The fighting power of the court is a great test.Moreover, due to floods in the south, the imperial court needed to provide a large sum of money for disaster relief.At the same time, Ping'an Prefecture is located at the border, with flat and open surroundings, the city is easy to defend but difficult to attack, and it is difficult for the court to quell chaos... Therefore, the second prince's move can be said to have taken advantage of the right time and place.As for the harmony of people: disorderly ministers and thieves will naturally not be what the people want, and of course it is impossible to occupy the harmony of people.

After receiving the news from Ping'an Prefecture, the new emperor immediately sent Wei Cheng to lead troops to quell the chaos.Although Wei Cheng has never been on the battlefield, but after all, he was born as a general, he has been familiar with military books since he was a child, and he is also very good at arranging troops, and he is the new emperor's confidant...

Although some people raised objections to Wei Cheng's expedition, the new emperor was still at ease with him: Although the defenders in Ping'an Prefecture were quite powerful, the second prince also recruited a lot of rogues and bandits nearby in order to fight against the imperial court.As a result, the originally extremely combat-effective army has also become a mob.Moreover, no matter how high-sounding the second prince's banner is, his behavior is a real rebellion and rebellion, which cannot win the hearts of the people, let alone stabilize the morale of the army.Therefore, even Wei Cheng, who has never been on the battlefield, can put down this rebellion: the new emperor wants to promote Wei Cheng, and there are reasons, and military merit is naturally the best way.

After the incident of the rebellion in Ping'an Prefecture, Lin Hai became even more busy.As a cabinet minister, he not only has to be busy dealing with the military situation in the two places, but also has to worry about the floods in the south. At the same time, he has to recover the money owed by those who are stubborn and refuse to return the money owed to the treasury... Although there are many things that do not require him to do it himself, But he still has to worry about the progress of the matter, plus other government affairs, Lin Hai is so busy every day that he doesn't even care about the two children in the family.

Of course, Lin Hui and Lin Daiyu don't have to worry about Lin Hai: Lin Yan stayed on the battlefield as he wished, and Lin Hui has been busy with the imperial examinations. Butler director.From the point of view of being a housekeeper and managing human relations, Jia Min is naturally more suitable to teach Lin Daiyu than Jia Zi.

Originally, Jia Min had been worried about Wei Ruolan who followed Jia Zi to the battlefield, but now she had one more person to worry about: Wei Cheng.After Jia Min and Wei Cheng got married, they had never been separated for such a long time, and Wei Cheng went to a dangerous battlefield, so how could Jia Min not be worried?Fortunately, Wei Ruoxun, Lin Daiyu, Jia Xichun and other little girls surrounded her, chattering all day long, Jia Min's worry about Wei Cheng, Wei Ruolan and his son was diluted a bit——every time Thinking of this, Wei Ruoxun couldn't help but praise herself fiercely in her heart.

"Is Aunt Min thinking about Uncle again?" Looking at Jia Min's pensive look, Lin Daiyu said with a smile, "Don't worry, Auntie, Uncle will be fine." From Jia Min's expression, she knew that the former must be thinking of Wei Cheng; if he was thinking of Wei Ruolan, it would not be like that: Lin Daiyu and her brother Lin Hui have learned this from their father Lin Hai. confirmed.

"You little girl," Lin Daiyu directly punctured her mind, Jia Min's face was slightly flushed, and she gently tapped Lin Daiyu's forehead: "Why don't you take a nap?"

Lin Daiyu looked at Jia Min with a smile: "I can't sleep!"

Looking at Lin Daiyu's smiling face, Jia Min suddenly seemed to see Jia Zi: Jia Zi was like this back then. When others were taking a nap, she would go out to be mischievous; Well".Of course, the difference is that Jiazi said this with a bit of playfulness, while Lin Daiyu said it with a bit of coquettishness.

"Yu'er," Jia Min gently grabbed Lin Daiyu's shoulders, and said softly, "Are you missing Xiaozi?" In fact, apart from Wei Cheng and Wei Ruolan, Jia Min was also very worried about Jiazi.By judging others by himself, Jia Min can naturally understand Lin Daiyu's unspoken worries about Jiazi.As for Lin Yan, since Jiazi is here, nothing will happen.

As if she didn't expect Jia Min to ask such a question, Lin Daiyu froze for a moment, then nodded lightly: "Aunt Min, I'm a little worried about my mother." Lin Daiyu had never been separated from Jia Zi for such a long time. Of course I miss and worry about Jazi very much.In fact, she had also secretly fantasized that if she was a boy, she would definitely follow Jiazi to the battlefield like Lin Yan, and relieve Jiazi's worries and labors...

"Don't worry," Jia Min touched Lin Daiyu's hair with a smile: "Xiaozi is very powerful, she will be fine. I'll tell you secretly..."

In order to appease Lin Daiyu, Jia Min told her a lot of past events that Lin Daiyu had never heard of, which fascinated Lin Daiyu, and kept pestering Jia Min to ask her to tell more.After all, there are some things that belong to the little secret between Jia Zi and Jia Min, which even Jia Jing, who has always held Jia Zi in his palm, doesn't know.Therefore, if Jia Min hadn't told her, it would be impossible for Lin Daiyu to know.

Here Jia Min and Lin Daiyu were chatting happily about Jia Zi's childhood, and the two of them were laughing together; over there, Jia Zheng was anxious: the incident in Ping'an Prefecture happened, and he didn't know what the result would be.

As some people guessed, the fact that the second prince was able to collude with the Jiedu envoy of Ping'an Prefecture was the result of someone interfering with it.And the person who threaded the needle was Jia Zheng: the Jiedu envoy of Ping'an Prefecture was Jia Daishan's old subordinate, and he had always been loyal to Jia Daishan.Therefore, when Jia Zheng begged, he naturally would not refuse.

Of course, the most important thing is that the new emperor doesn't pay much attention to the Guixun family, nor does he trust the old subordinates of the Guixun family.Over the past few days, seeing his old friends being dealt with or left idle one by one, the powerful governor of Ping'an Prefecture also felt a crisis, and naturally found a way to find another way out.Therefore, it is not so much because of Jia Daishan's face, it is better to say that he was bewitched by the desire for power, so he did this kind of thing of killing the nine clans: if the second prince succeeds, then he will be a dragon. ...

Therefore, Jia Zheng was the most restless person after the incident in Ping'an Prefecture.If the second prince succeeds in usurping the throne, then he will be the hero who made great contributions to the second prince's seizure of the country, and no one in the capital would dare to underestimate him; however, if the second prince is defeated, then his situation will be very dangerous: let alone The collusion between the Jiedu envoy of Ping'an Prefecture and the second prince was the result of his gossip, and he couldn't escape the crime of making friends with border guards.Therefore, Jia Zheng could only pray that the second prince would succeed in usurping the throne, and at the same time pray that the governor of Ping'an Prefecture would be smarter and completely destroy his letter, so as not to leave any evidence or handle for the new emperor.

Mother Jia didn't know that Jia Zheng did such a thing that would bring disaster to the whole family without even discussing it with her.Therefore, seeing Jia Zheng's agitated appearance, Jia's mother naturally thought that Jia Zheng was worried about the state treasury's debt.

"Zheng'er," Mother Jia stopped Jia Zheng who kept spinning around the room, and said with a smile, "Okay, don't spin around anymore. You've made me dizzy."

"Give Baoyu a rub for the old ancestor," Jia Baoyu lay down in front of Jiamu's soft couch, held Jiamu's old hand, and said with a smile, "The old ancestor won't be dizzy anymore." Behind her mother, she gently pressed Jia Mu's temples, trying to relieve Jia Mu's headache.

Ever since Jia Amnesty left Rongguo Mansion last time, Mother Jia fell ill and has been recuperating in bed.However, neither Jia Amnesty nor Jia Min came to visit her when they heard the news of her illness. Only Jia Zheng's family surrounded her all day long to ask her how she was.In particular, Jia Baoyu tried every means to make her happy, which made her feel a little comforted.

Jia Amnesty naturally needless to say.The calculations and disappointments again and again have made the slightest mother-child relationship between him and Jia's mother long gone.For him, even if Jia Mu died, he would just keep his filial piety for three years: Whether Jia Mu was sick or not was nothing to do with him—anyway, he was beaten to death by Jia Mu that day. The appearance of the flow has fallen into the eyes of many people.Even the official censor, most of them knew about it.Who is right and wrong in this matter, everyone knows in their hearts.Therefore, even if Jia She didn't visit Jia's mother when she was sick, no one would say that he was unfilial. Thinking of Lin Hai's sound analysis, Jia She couldn't help but feel emotional: No wonder A Zi said that scholars are insidious all day long. insidious.

As for Jia Min, she just sent someone to deliver some medicinal materials and supplements to Jiamu, but she herself never went there.Of course, Jia Min's reasons are also very good: Wei Cheng is not at home, so she naturally has to close the door to thank guests.

For Jia Min and Jia Amnesty's indifference, Jia's mother was really very angry.However, thinking that Jia Min and Jia She did not listen to her since they were young, and instead became very close to Jia Zi, who caused troubles and troubles since childhood, Jia's mother vaguely felt that it would be good if they didn't come, lest they come to find Jia. The trouble for Zheng and Jia Baoyu is to make her angry.

"Our Baoyu has grown up." Jia Baoyu's actions made Jia's mother very pleased: everyone said that she was partial to Jia Baoyu, but who could see Jia Baoyu's thoughtfulness and filial piety to her?When she fell ill in bed, only Jia Baoyu would stay by her side all day and all night, chatting with her and making her happy.Such a well-behaved and sensible grandson, who does she love if he doesn't love him?

"Of course." Jia Baoyu nodded heavily, and said coquettishly, "Old Ancestor, Baoyu is no longer a child. Ancestor, you must get well soon, Baoyu loves the Ancestor the most. "

Seeing Jia Mu being coaxed by Jia Baoyu to make her smile, Jia Zheng nodded involuntarily: Although Jia Baoyu has no great prospects, he has one thing that is excellent, that is, he is very filial to Jia Mu.In this regard, even Jia Amnesty is inferior to Jia Baoyu.

"Zheng'er," pulling Jia Baoyu to sit beside her, Mother Jia smiled and comforted Jia Zheng, "Don't worry about the money. There are wars in the sea and borders, and the emperor can't take care of himself, so what's the matter?" Are you thinking about managing the treasury's money?"

Although Jia's mother never said it, seeing other noble families returning money from the treasury one after another, Jia's mother actually felt a little guilty.However, after the incident in Ping'an Prefecture broke out, Jia's mother suddenly stopped worrying: the new emperor and the court ministers were all focused on those two wars, so why would they want to ask for money?What's more, although the Guixun family has lost its former glory, many of their ancestors' confidantes and subordinates hold important positions in the army. If the new emperor really forces the Guixun family to pay back the money owed to the treasury, wouldn't they be afraid of another one? Is it Ping'an Prefecture?

Jia Zheng moved his lips, and suddenly had the urge to tell Jia Mu about his letter to the governor of Ping'an Prefecture.However, in the end he still didn't tell the matter: the matter is of great importance, and the fewer people who know about it, the better.Moreover, Jia Mu's words also reminded Jia Zheng of another thing.

"Mother," Jia Zheng sighed, "Just now, another document came from the household department, urging my son to pay back the money owed to the treasury by his ancestors." To be reasonable, the Rongguo Mansion was given time to raise money.However, Jia Zheng didn't appreciate the consideration of the Ministry of Household Affairs, and he had no intention of paying back the money: unless it was absolutely necessary, Jia Zheng would only give up the money to save his life.

As soon as he thought about the state treasury's debt, Jia Zheng couldn't help complaining about Jia Yuan and Jia Daishan: If they didn't borrow money from the state treasury to enjoy themselves, how could he be persecuted by the Ministry of Households like this now?Why should he pay back the money that he has neither spent nor seen?What's more, when Jia Amnesty took away most of the property in the mansion when he separated the family, how could he return the money to the treasury? Although Jia Zheng was not in charge of the Rongguo Mansion's public office, how much did he know about the state of the money in the mansion? Still have some understanding.

Thinking back to the fact that Jia She shamelessly took away most of the property in the Rongguo Mansion when the family was separated, Jia Zheng suddenly had a flash of inspiration: This money should be returned by Jia She - Jia She He is the eldest son of Jia Daishan, who inherited more than 70.00% of the property in the mansion. If he doesn't pay back the money owed to the treasury, who will pay?

When Jia Zheng was thinking about how to get Jia She to spit out the money to pay back the money owed by the state treasury, Jia's mother said angrily: "Speaking of this, I blame Chen Ruiwen and those bastards. If they could have persisted , why are we so passive now?"

In fact, just as Jia's mother expected, most of the Guixun family's money was beyond their means, and like the Rongguo Mansion, they struggled to maintain their own situation and did not want to return the money owed to the state treasury.However, unlike Jia Zheng, other people have been raised as heirs since they were young. Even if they don't have great prospects, they still understand the importance.They knew that after the new emperor had spoken, if they still did not pay back the money owed to the treasury, it would definitely bring endless disasters to the family.Therefore, in the end, they patched together and returned the money owed to the treasury bit by bit.

And the first one to pay back was naturally Qi Guogong's grandson and the new emperor's confidant, Chen Ruiwen.With Chen Ruiwen taking the lead, other noble families also began to gradually pay back the money owed to the treasury.Even Jia Mu's natal historian returned the money owed to the treasury.Only the Rongguo Mansion and a few noble families still stubbornly feel that the new emperor is just a bluff, and even if he doesn’t pay back the money, nothing will happen in the end: the money has been owed for decades, and it has been nothing Things, therefore, are the same this time.

"Mother," Jia Zheng looked at Jia's mother sincerely, pursed his lips and said, "My son suddenly remembered something: the elder brother is the father's eldest son, this money..." In a short time, Jia Zheng had already thought about it. I understand, if you want Jia Amnesty to take out the silver, you have to let Jia Mu speak.

Hearing Jia Zheng's words, Jia's mother suddenly thought of the scene of Jia She leaving the Rongqing Hall with blood on his face last time, and couldn't help but feel cold all over, and a kind of unreasonable fear rose in her heart, and she was very afraid of seeing Jia She again. .

"Mother?" Seeing Mother Jia's slightly dazed look, Jia Zheng couldn't help calling out to Mother Jia, hoping that Mother Jia would come forward to find Jia Amnesty.

Mother Jia took a look at Jia Zheng, closed her eyes, and sighed softly: "What you said makes sense. But, you also know that I'm not feeling well these days, so you can go and tell Sheier yourself. Let’s do this.” Mother Jia didn’t dare to provoke Jia She anymore: if Jia She falls down in the Rongqing Hall with a bloody head next time, rumors of her unkindness will be everywhere in the capital.

Hearing what Jiamu evaded, Jia Zheng frowned secretly: Why did Jiamu lean on Jia Amnesty's side?Could it be that she saw Jia Lian's promotion, so she wanted to pass Rongguo Mansion to Jia Amnesty?

Mother Jia didn't see Jia Zheng's dissatisfied expression, but closed her eyes and said, "Zheng'er, you are also the master of Rongguo Mansion now, and you have to learn to make up your own mind about many things. Don't worry, mother will support you."

Hearing what Jia Mu said, Jia Zheng felt a little strange in his heart.However, he didn't say much else, he just left Rongqingtang after serving Mother Jia's decoction: he would naturally not ask Jia She for money - if he went, Jia She would not How must he laugh at him!As the only plan for now, he can only pray that the second prince will quickly break through the capital and get that position.It's a pity that he now only has the position of an empty general, otherwise, he could secretly help a group of second princes.Otherwise, he went to find out what Jia Min said: Wei Cheng went to Ping'an Prefecture, Jia Min should know a little bit, right?

Jia Baoyu, on the other hand, heard Jia Mu and Jia Zheng talking about silver, and frowned secretly: "Okay, why do you have to be contaminated with those gold and silver vulgar things?"Thinking about the recent period, Shi Xiangyun always advised him to study hard to gain fame, and Xue Baoqin advised him to learn business from Xue Biao. Jia Baoyu was really annoyed: Lin Daiyu is the best, and he will never be contaminated by these golds. Silver vulgar things, and never pay attention to those economic careers...

Thinking of Lin Daiyu, Jia Baoyu licked his lips and shook Jia Mu's arm: "Old Ancestor, can I go outside for a while?"

"Baoyu," Jia's mother took Jia Baoyu's hand and said softly, "It's not peaceful outside recently, you should spend more time at home with your ancestors, and also with Yun girl and Baoqin. They are all you now." Your wife is gone, you should spend more time with them on weekdays, and strive to let the ancestors embrace their great-grandchildren as soon as possible."

Hearing what Jia Mu said, Jia Baoyu pursed his lips, but did not answer: He always regarded Shi Xiangyun and Xue Baoqin as his younger sisters, and never thought of marrying them, let alone marrying them. one has a child.Although the attack made Jia Baoyu feel deeply regretful.However, he never thought about having a child with Shi Xiangyun or Xue Baoqin.

The topic of great-grandson made Jia Baoyu in the room feel embarrassed, and it also made the other three people who came to accompany Jia Mu at the door very uncomfortable.

When Li Wan heard Jia Mu mentioning that he wanted to hug his great-grandson, his whole body tensed up, and his nails were embedded in his flesh: Jia Lan is also Jia Mu's great-grandson, but why did Jia Mu ever regard him as a great-grandson?I'm afraid Mother Jia has even forgotten what Jia Lan looks like?However, she was thinking of Jia Baoyu's child, how could Li Wan accept it.

On the other hand, when Shi Xiangyun and Xue Baoqin heard this, they could only smile wryly: Although Jia Baoyu has loved them a lot since they got married, he has never slept with them. joke.

Mother Jia didn't notice Jia Baoyu's embarrassment, she still held Jia Baoyu's hand, nagging and fantasizing about what would happen if Jia Baoyu had a child, and made a promise that when Jia Baoyu's child was born, she would give birth to Jia Baoyu. She comes to teach.

However, Jia's mother did not realize at this time that her fantasies about Jia Baoyu's children were only fantasies after all, because her son Jia Zheng, whom she had doted on all her life, had already dragged their family onto a ship that was destined to sink.

Facts have proved that the new emperor did not misunderstand the person. In just over half a year, Wei Cheng and Feng Tang had quelled the rebellion in Ping'an Prefecture. The letter returned to the capital——Feng Tang was sent by the new emperor to garrison near Ping'an Prefecture in the name of supporting Jiazi...

Whether it was the demise of the Second Prince or the demise of the Rongguo Mansion, neither caused much disturbance in the capital.It wasn't until Jiazi led his army to pacify the sea area and captured all the monarchs of several small maritime countries back to Beijing that the capital became lively again.

Lin Hai went out of the city with the new emperor to welcome the triumphant return of the army that went to sea.Standing behind the new emperor, looking at the heroic figure who hadn't seen him for more than three years, thinking of what he saw when he went home last night, Lin Hai's teeth were itchy, and he wished he could rush over and kill him. Pull it out, put it on your lap, and slap her ass hard...

The author has something to say: The fate of the people in Rongguo Mansion will be explained later, and Jiazi should come back first

small theater:

Jia Zheng: Jia Amnesty, it should be the money you returned to the treasury

Jia Amnesty: Whoever inherits the title will pay back the money, I will not pay it back

Jia Baoyu: Sister Lin is the best, never contaminated with gold and silver vulgar objects
