The Hulk of the Red Chamber

The historian is also Jinling's old surname. When the country was founded, the two families almost got married. It's just that the Zhen family looked down on the historian at that time, thinking that the historian's title was not high enough, and the power was not strong enough. It's a concubine's daughter, so this matter is naturally unremarkable, but the two families have retained some contacts over the years. After all, they are family friends, and it is impossible to break it off easily. Others will inevitably say it is cold.In the officialdom, although there are few people who give charcoal in the face of hardship and many people who fall into trouble, they are also very taboo about the so-called lonely ministers. Even if they are not in the same camp, personal relationships cannot be cut off at will, and they have to stay on the line at all times.Back then, Wang Anshi and Sima Guang fought against each other for so many years, and they were still friends in private!Like Wei Zheng, when he was alive, he won the title of a minister, but when he died, his sons and daughters were not sheltered, and he was almost dug out and flogged. This is a typical lesson.

Although the Zhen family has always believed that they can support an emperor that is in their own interests, in Shi Ding's view, the Zhen family is simply courting death.If the Zhen family were to ascend the throne today, the Zhen family would be able to make a decisive decision and surrender to the present, and it may not be impossible to become today's confidants and enter the main center in the future.However, being praised by many years of smooth sailing made her lose her mind, and she became dizzy and focused on walking on a crooked road.I don't even think about it, the Emperor abdicated due to physical problems back then. Although he has improved a bit over the years, his foundation is no longer good. Insisting on exhausting mental energy and fighting against his son will definitely not benefit his body.But today is the prime of life, wearing clothes that are gentle and benevolent, almost a deceitful disguise, but in fact he is a master of pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger. faction of forces.If it was just now when he came to the throne, any unconvinced prince would be willing to do the Xuanwumen thing, it might not be impossible, but at that time, those brothers today were scared out of their wits by the fate of the old Prince Yizhong and several princes. Counting on Xu Xu Tuzhi, at this moment, one will ebb and flow, even if they make up their minds and put all their eggs in one basket, it will not affect the overall situation.

Since historians have chosen the present day early, they have already benefited from it. Naturally, they cannot be capricious and have both ends.Therefore, both Shi Ding and Shi Nai expressed a polite refusal to the Zhen family's visit. It's quite exciting.The sixth girl of the Zhen family was born Yuxue cute, with a good face, and the Zhen family's tutoring was unquestionable. Marrying Shi Ze was not a bad marriage, but it was almost the same.

However, Mrs. Fang just raised her head, but Shi Nai flatly rejected it. The Zhen family is obviously a broken boat, and all they do are deceitful activities. Is it possible that the family wants to marry the daughter of a doomed criminal minister as a daughter-in-law? ?If the Zhen family falls quickly and the women's relatives become low-ranking, it is difficult for the Shi family to disregard the face and fail to divorce the marriage. Therefore, it is better to stop thinking about it from the beginning.After so many years, Shi Nai has seen his son clearly. Although Shi Qing is cowardly, cowardice also has its advantages. At least he is cautious and will not do any harm. Even if he has no hope in the imperial examination, he will wait until the future Under the shelter of the Hou Mansion, it is still possible for Shi Qing to be a rich man.Shi Ze, on the other hand, has great eyesight and low abilities, and he doesn't have much ability, but he is quite a prodigal. He is on the same level as Wang Ren of the Wang family, and he is better than Xue Pan of the Xue family.

Shi Nai had no other way to deal with his only legitimate son, and he couldn't bear Shi Ze to endure hardships, so he couldn't make up his mind, so he wanted to hone Shi Ze. It's all about keeping up with success, but fortunately, Shi Nai is not too old now, and it is not a problem to live another 20 years.Therefore, I thought about marrying a good wife and mother for my son, nurturing my grandson well, and pinning my hopes on my grandson.

Therefore, Shi Nai's requirements for his daughter-in-law are not like Mrs. Fang's, who insists on being a lady from a famous family. Instead, he needs a strong and shrewd person. He also admitted.With Shi Ze's temperament, if he really married a noble girl, maybe the trouble would not be a marriage, but an enemy.

When Shi Nai told Mrs. Fang about her thoughts, Mrs. Fang felt very upset. However, Mrs. Fang could never be Shi Nai's master, and she also understood that she was a housewife after all, and she had little knowledge. Nai's heart was also for her son's sake. However, although she lowered the standard for choosing a daughter-in-law, she didn't lower it by much. In her opinion, a small family can raise very knowledgeable girls.Of course, this is also reasonable, but in this way, the time to choose a wife for Shi Ze will be much longer.

Even if Shi Nai had reservations about the Zhen family, he was still polite, but Shi Ding was not so polite.It's not just a matter of camp, there is one more person in the cabinet who is not in the same group as me, and has a deep background, and a lot of people around him are helping to wave the flag, which is not a good thing for the cabinet ministers in the cabinet. This is simply dividing them. Interests.Although there is no fixed number of cabinet members, what is this Zhen Tiren? Except that he is the uncle of the Twelve Princes, he has not really been in charge of the government before. Well, they have been filling their pockets all the time, taking the money from the country, digging around everywhere, and paving the way for the Twelve Princes.If it weren't for the Supreme Emperor's high regard for the Zhen family, the actions of the Zhen family in the south of the Yangtze River might not have harmed the nine clans, and the family would have to be confiscated and exiled.

Since Shi Ding wanted to perform in front of the present, he naturally had to use Zhen Tiren as a knife.Therefore, Mrs. Qin, who has received Shi Ding's signal, has been indifferent to the Zhen family's door-to-door visits. Mrs. Zhen's family has been trying to talk about the friendship of the ancestors, but here she has been perfunctory. Anyone can say good things, but If you have any other plans, then I'm sorry, our family will not accompany you.Mrs. Zhen's family has been famous for so many years. She has never met someone who doesn't give her face like this. She went back with a stiff face and added fuel to Zhen Tiren, saying how rude Shi Ding's wife was and how she looked down on the Zhen family. I have already understood that the historian is determined to draw a clear line with their family now, and everyone is not someone who cares about the friendship of their ancestors.Back then, Lin Ruhai was the son-in-law of the Jia family, and he blocked the way of the Zhen family in the salt administration, and the Zhen family was not ambiguous about what to do. In a sense, Jia Min died at the hands of the Zhen family.

Shi Ding won't enter, he won't eat soft and hard things, and Zhen Tiren won't make any effort to win him over. After all, Shi Ding doesn't have military power now, and when the time comes, he won't be at the mercy of others!However, he seldom suffered a disadvantage, and he also began to have trouble with Shi Ding in the court.When the cabinet is working and discussing decisions, Shi Ding says one thing, and he must say another thing.Shi Ding is not someone easy to bully, he was born as a military general, the city has some, and he is not unbearable, but he also understands that he is now on the shelf, and he must express his position in front of the Holy Master and part ways with Zhen Tiren , That's for sure, and it has to be in the public, so that everyone knows that the historian and the Zhen family are not the same.Therefore, Shi Ding also put on a posture of tit-for-tat with the Zhen family, and even directly wrote a letter, telling the present that although the Zhen family is not a descendant family, but with the respect of the noble concubine, the Zhen family is also a foreign relative. According to the ancestral system, even if To be in charge of one side before was already a blessing from the Holy One, but now, he has to look around in Shu, but still has to dictate in the center, clinging to power and position, and intimidating the monarch, it is really unbearable...

Shi Ding's letter was supported by many people. After all, the Zhen family's entry into Beijing did not only affect the interests of the Holy One. a fool.When dealing with the Holy Majesty, everyone's interests are the same, so when the Zhen family was in the south of the Yangtze River, although they were very irregular, they tried their best to help cover it up and make it easier.But when the Zhen family came to Beijing, the situation was different. Those few princes were not convinced even when they ascended the throne. Who would be convinced by a younger brother who has not seen any achievements except for the biological mother of a favored imperial concubine!The Zhen family is obviously the help of the old twelve, these princes will naturally find a way to drive the Zhen family away.Therefore, as soon as Shi Dingcai came out, a group of people below began to beat the side drums, saying that Zhen Tiren is not suitable for the cabinet, which means that you, Zhen Tiren, hurry up and go back to Jinling.If someone else had encountered such a situation, he would have to submit a letter to resign if he didn't want to resign, but Zhen Tiren was thick-skinned and insisted on not moving.

The Holy Majesty was happy to see this situation in the court hall, and it would be good to fight. If everyone twisted together, it would be time for him to worry. Therefore, he just said a few words to Shi Ding indifferently, and did not take anything away. Regarding Zhen Tiren's position, he also spoke a few words of consolation, and then rewarded Shi Ding with a catty of tribute tea in private.Everyone only thinks that the Holy Majesty is really cowardly, and it has been said to this extent, and the Emperor's thoughts must be taken into account, some people will inevitably underestimate the Holy Majesty a bit.

The turmoil caused by Zhen Tiren's entry into the cabinet has never stopped. The emperor also clearly expressed his favor for the Zhen family. First, he personally summoned Zhen Tiren, and then rewarded the old lady of the Zhen family with an ebony walking stick and a coral wishful. It gave the Zhen family face.The Twelve Princes also had great trust in this eldest uncle, Zhen Tiren. After hearing that his cousin Zhen Baoyu was also here, he took Zhen Baoyu with him and mixed with the princes and grandsons.

Over at the Jia family, Jia Baoyu was also favored by King Shui Rong of Beijing. Of course, it's hard to say the nature of this love. You must know that although Shui Rong looks gentle and has some virtuous names outside, he is a famous man and woman. taboo character.People in the know even know that Shui Rong is a bit obsessed with this matter. How come there are several concubines and male favorites who die every year in the Beijing Palace, but those who die are all people who can't stand on the stage, and signed a death contract with the Palace. , Whoever doesn't open their eyes will have trouble with the palace, so everyone just opens their eyes and closes them.The Holy Majesty is also willing to let the water dissolve some flaws in his personal morality, which is also an excuse. In the future, if the king of Beijing Jing is restless, it will be a ready-made crime if he cleans it up.

According to today's aesthetics, although Jia Baoyu looks a bit fat and powdery, he is indeed a well-known handsome boy. It is not surprising that Shui Rong likes him. Had a relationship with Qin Zhong.Naturally, Shui Rong would not use the means of favoring those concubines and male concubines to Jia Baoyu, but was extremely gentle and considerate, and soon hooked up with Jia Baoyu, but one was the county king and the other was the grandson of the government. Knowing it well, no one said it.Jia Baoyu also hangs out with Shui Rong in the upper circles. He has met Zhen Baoyu before. They are very similar in nature and have similar temperaments. Even a compatriot from the same mother may not be able to make such a pair. Get close, now they happen to be able to see each other often, and they are even more close like brothers.The Jia family and the Zhen family were also happy to see the success of this, and the two families got closer.
