The Lin family has a female named Qingyun [Red Mansion]

Lin Qingyun was shocked when he heard this.

After thinking about it, he was puzzled: "What happened last night? What happened to Jia Yuanchun is not a day or two. In the past, the emperor would not deal with it for the time being. How could it be revealed during the wedding?"

No matter what the reason for the marriage is, Xichun's marriage is a meritorious service to the dynasty, and it will naturally benefit the family.It stands to reason that the emperor should favor Jia Yuanchun, the representative of the Jia family, in the palace. Why did Jia Yuanchun break out severely?Besides, Jia Yuanchun's cautious temperament...

Tu Yan solved her doubts: "Outsiders don't know about this matter. The emperor only told the queen mother, saying that Jia Yuanchun's words were inappropriate and he was grounded. He secretly blocked the communication between the insiders and the outside world. As for the decree of demotion I haven’t sent it out yet, we’ll talk about it after the war is over.” Tu Yan drank two sips of tea, stared at the tea soup, and narrowed his eyes slightly: “Why do you think Jia Guiren offended the Holy Majesty? Do you still remember that she used to be intimate with Concubine Zhen Gui?”

"How does this relate to the past?" Lin Qingyun thought that the emperor suppressed those things and planned to settle the accounts with the Jia family.

"How much did she and Concubine Zhengui use the Supreme Emperor to interfere in the government affairs for their own selfishness? The Emperor just didn't want to make too many moves at once, which would cause the whole country to be shaken. Who knew that she had settled down for a while, and she was solid and cute. The fourth girl of the Jia family was chosen as a marriage partner, so the emperor rewarded her a lot and went to her palace a few times. Last night was in her Fengzao Palace. Mistakes, I always opened my mouth to say what I wanted to say, but I was afraid to open my mouth. Later, when I served tea to the emperor, I accidentally knocked over the tea bowl."

Lin Qingyun listened, and had some vague guesses.

Sure enough, Tu Yan sneered and said, "The emperor wouldn't know who came in and out of Fengzao Palace in the past few days? There was a young eunuch who belonged to Zhen Shunpin. Zao Palace. Concubine Zhen Shun has fallen out of favor in the harem, and her life is difficult. Princess Dingjun is slightly better than her, and she happened to go to the palace to see her two days ago. Back then, the Zhen family had a good relationship, not only with the Dingjun Palace, but also with her. Nan'an Palace also has a lot of connections. This time, Princess Dingjun was entrusted by Princess Nan'an to enter the palace. By virtue of the relationship between Concubine Zhen Shun and Fengzao Palace, she wanted to test the emperor's attitude. The court said that the prince of Nan'an had died in the bottom of the sea. The concubine didn't believe it, and hoped that Jia Guiren would try it out. Jia Guiren was so cautious, how could she dare, but she had a handle in the hands of others, and it was because of her interests, which made her lose her appearance frequently. The emperor saw everything in his eyes, and hated it in his heart , and then took the opportunity to demote him, so as to prevent those people from causing any other troubles."

Lin Qingyun sighed, and didn't think about Jia Yuanchun's ending, but asked him: "Since the old concubine has doubts, it is impossible to guarantee that she will not investigate in private. Even if nothing can be found out, it will not sound good when it comes out. Does the emperor have no countermeasures?"

"The emperor intends to send a boat to salvage the body of Prince Nan'an after the war is over."

"...I hope that Nan'an Palace will get the news and settle down." If the trouble continues, the emperor will not have that much patience.After all, even if the prince of Nan'an died, there would still be a lot of old accounts to settle. The emperor would not let his prestige remain in the army.

This news in the palace was unknown, although Tu Yan told her, he believed that she would not spread it.She is also aware of the sensitivity and severity of the matter, let alone the Jia family, even Daiyu can't talk about it.Kuang Daiyu was pregnant, and hearing the news inevitably made her feel depressed.

At the end of the month, news came that the war was over and the court had won a big victory.

The dust of this scheming war has finally settled, and the small countries along the West Sea are doomed to fail.Not to mention that those small countries have different people and plans, and the emperor made full preparations early in the morning.

The generals leading the army were still the subordinates of the former Prince of Nan'an who were stationed in Guangzhou. The old general Wei was the commander in chief. The emperor also dispatched a lieutenant general from the navy from two other places to assist and supervise the battle, and another team was specially mobilized from the firearms battalion. The soldiers are equipped with fifty latest foreign guns, and one hundred flintlock pistols imitated by these foreign guns in this dynasty, and each gun is equipped with a sharp bayonet.Due to the time-consuming problem of gunpowder filling, there are special gunpowder-filling soldiers and gunmen who are responsible for shooting. Each gunman has an average of three guns, which is enough to ensure continuous firing during raids.The emperor also used this battle as a testing ground for firearms. He wanted to see the power of firearms in large-scale battles.

The result did not disappoint him. When the navy repelled the small coastal countries, once they landed, the power of the firearms battalion was displayed. Amidst the gunfire, the feudal soldiers were defeated and irresistible. The imperial army attacked with almost no effort. into the palace.This time they returned to Beijing to present their victory, and the captured royal family members and important ministers of several small countries were all on the list. This is definitely a unique event since the opening of the dynasty.

There were also casualties in this battle, and General Wei died in battle.

When it comes to the death of the coach, there is another story.

The Wei family was single-handedly raised by the prince of Nan'an. This time the prince of Nan'an had an accident, the father and son of the Wei family also noticed something strange, but the matter has come to an end, and they can only take advantage of this battle to "make the merits of the crime".Dedicated to meritorious service, the old general Wei took the lead, unfortunately, he was hit by a stray arrow and injured his vitals. His son Wei Ruolan also injured his leg.

The emperor read the battle report and listened to the details of the warlord, and said: "Although the old general Wei is greedy for meritorious service, he is brave and fearless, and this time he has won a big victory, so he will make up for his mistakes, and he will not be rewarded or punished. His son Wei Ruolan is brave in battle. The achievements are commendable, and he was promoted to the fifth-rank general of Wude."

The only one in the Wei family who can support the family is the old general of the Wei family. When the old general Wei dies, there is only one male, Wei Ruolan.A fifth-rank general is really not enough to be seen in Beijing, but it's just the emperor's appeasement.The Wei family is the direct subordinate of the Prince of Nan'an, according to the emperor's dislike for the Prince of Nan'an, even if Wei Ruolan's leg is healed, he may not have the chance to return to the army.

From Lin Qingyun's point of view, it is a great fortune to avoid death.

Unfortunately, Old General Wei died, Wei Ruolan had to observe mourning for three years, and Shi Xiangyun had to wait.What's more, once the war here is over, the rest of the stalls have to be taken care of.

Sure enough, within a few days, an incident was exposed. Fifty new flints of the latest style were found in the camp of the Prince of Nan'an's army, and it was revealed that the Prince of Nan'an was training soldiers in private. The soldiers said that the payment of the soldiers was delayed every month, and there were times in arrears.It is also called that the military equipment is outdated and has not been replaced for many years, and it is also called that the cotton clothes are thin and insufficient in winter, etc.

Those fifty guns were naturally obtained by the hidden guards and stuffed into Prince Nan'an's camp, just to use this as a guide to wipe out the remnants of Prince Nan'an's old party.Furthermore, the hidden guards have gained something else in Xingyuan. In a small courtyard with strict guards, there is a blond foreigner girl with blue eyes. If she is not a foreigner, she looks like a golden house.The dark guards also secretly took people to the capital and handed them over to the emperor.

When Tu Yan told her the identity of that person, he was really surprised, it was Lisa!

Lin Qingyun had received news before that Lisa had been shot in the chest by an arrow and was seriously injured and might not survive.Unexpectedly, Lisa is still alive and seems to be under house arrest by Prince Nan'an.

"Lisa is indeed an illegitimate daughter of a nobleman. In order to make a living, she became the lover of the Grand Duke. The reason why Prince Nan'an put her under house arrest was because she wanted to return to the country, but Prince Nan'an felt that she was still valuable, so he forcibly detained her. Lisa Sha has been the Grand Duke's lover for several years, and she knows some secrets, and she has the Duke's trust, otherwise she would not have been sent to this court." These were all asked by Tu Yan from Lisa himself.

Tu Yan's learning ability has always amazed Lin Qingjun, and after learning English with ease, he started to learn French.The two of them studied together, and now she is half-baked, prone to making mistakes when opening her mouth, but Pian Tuyan has learned six to seven points, and ordinary questions and conversations are not a problem.

Of course, he found a good teacher. There are still many missionaries in this dynasty, and the missionaries are generally good-tempered.

Lin Qingyun felt that she was not so stupid when she was in school before. Pregnancy must have lowered her IQ. As the saying goes, "pregnancy is stupid for three years".At that time, she said this jokingly, which almost made Tu Yan laugh so hard.

After she was pregnant, she had fewer pastimes than before. She chatted with Tu Yan when she had nothing to do, and treated the inner house news as gossip, and chatted about court affairs.After hearing what he said now, she said casually: "The emperor is secretly detaining Lisa, because he wants to contact the Grand Duke of France in private?"

Surely the emperor would want to sex with each other, right?

"Of course not." Tu Yan understood what she meant, and shook his head with a smile: "There are also capable people in the firearms battalion of this dynasty, but they were not reused in the past. But this time, they imitated foreigners' flint guns to improve the guns of this dynasty. The power is really astonishing, the emperor has ordered to reorganize the firearms battalion, and all the commanders must be re-selected, the father intends to let me also lead it."

Although the Firearms Battalion was not valued, there were five to six thousand soldiers stationed inside and outside the city, and they also shared a certain responsibility for the vigilance of the capital.The emperor has seen the power of firearms, and he attaches great importance to them, so he is not at ease handing them over to others at will, so he can be said to trust him in choosing Tuyan.

Realizing that Tu Yan had something to say, she smiled and said, "Then what do you think?"

Tu Yan shook his head lightly: "Honglu Temple is quieter."

Although Tu Yan was interested in the Firearms Camp, he was unwilling to take over because the position was too important.

Another half a month later, Lin Qingyun's body was already very heavy, and he didn't leave the room every day, and only moved around in the house.The weather is getting colder, and it has snowed intermittently for three days, and the ground is a foot thick. If it were in previous years, the sisters would have been happy to invite people to join the club.

"Princess, Grandma Zhuang has sent someone to deliver something." Bai Ling's voice sounded from outside, and after a while, Bai Ling came in holding a beauty vase with a bright red plum blossom in it. "Look, princess. After all, Grandma Zhuang is an elegant person. She never forgets to enjoy the flowers in the cold winter, and she doesn't forget to admire the princess. Grandma Zhuang said that the plum blossoms in their garden are blooming well, so she bought one as a gift." Put in a bottle with the princess to enjoy, and there are a few dried fruits from Furuizhai, which the princess likes to eat."

"What a beautiful plum blossom. I also want to go out to enjoy the plum blossoms on the snow, but I can't do it right now, so I have to wait for next year. Next year, I will set up a plum blossom club, ask all the sisters to write poems, and get some deer Meat or something, make a barbecue." Lin Qingyun recalled a painting he painted yesterday when he was idle, and ordered Bailu to find it, and prepare a plate of apples and pears for Daiyu to send.At the end, he said: "Yesterday, the tangerines that the prince just brought back from the palace are much fresher than these apples and pears. They are very sweet. Send a basket to Grandma Zhuang."

The palace stores a lot of fruit every year for winter. The storage method is very good, and it still feels fresh when eaten.The tangerines were brought in by boats from Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces at the end of the year, and there were a wide variety of fresh products. Except for the emperors and queens in the palace, they naturally enjoyed the most in the Prince's Palace.

It was a coincidence when I thought about it, so I ordered Zhang Bao to come in again, ordering him to prepare a few copies of various fresh goods, in addition to giving them to Daiyu, there were also Lin's family, the families of several wives who had good contacts on weekdays, Wang Xifeng and several sisters Send some fresh melons and fruits.After all, it's just a wish, not a New Year's gift, and those people who have prepared too much will worry about returning the gift, which is troublesome.

Just after giving the order, Tu Yan came in wearing a snowstorm, his body and head were covered with snow, he was startled when he saw her, and burst out laughing again: "It's rare for a prince to be dressed like this." After looking around, he was nowhere to be seen. With the hand warmer in his hand, he couldn't help frowning: "Do you always bring a hand warmer with you when you get up early?"

"Oh, it fell on the car. You go inside, don't freeze you." Tu Yan had already taken off his cloak outside, and Thrush took it out to shake the snow, and red silk and green Luo Duan water handed over the handkerchief, and helped him to freshen up.

"I'm afraid of the heat now, and I'm stuck on the warm couch all day long, feeling uncomfortable. It's more comfortable to go outside to get some air." As he spoke, he touched his hand, which was very hot, so he was really relieved.Sure enough, the nasturtium seeds were useful, not only made him heal, but also healthier than ordinary people. In previous years, not to mention the cold winter months, even most of the summer days his hands were cold, how could there be such strong firepower.

How could Tu Yan not feel that the present is really different from the past.

He has never felt that a person can have such a strong energy, as if he will not feel tired when doing anything. When it is hot, he will sweat like ordinary people. When it is cold, his hands and feet are warm, and he does not have to do it like before. Wrapped in big woolen clothes in the warm pavilion.He couldn't even remember when he was sick last time, and occasionally remembered the experience of drinking bitter medicine in the past, as if in a dream.

He knows better who brought all this.

He put his hand lightly on her high swollen abdomen, and was kicked the next moment, but it made him smile happily: "I'm saying hello to Daddy."

Lin Qingyun looked at his silly father, and smiled and said: "He is blaming you for coming back so late. You used to be free, but now it's so cold, you go out every day."

"The army and the peace mission will arrive in the capital tomorrow, and there are always many things to take care of." Tu Yan said again: "Jia Baoyu didn't come back with him. It is said that he left the peace mission after the war ended. He didn't say hello beforehand. He only left a letter to Jia Lian, saying that he wanted to go back to the capital alone, but Jia Lian was frightened, and asked the local magistrate to help him find it, but he couldn't find it. Some people said that they saw Jia Baoyu on a cargo ship bound for Jiangsu and Zhejiang. , Jia Lian found the owner of the cargo ship, but Jia Baoyu has disembarked at the port and is nowhere to be found."

"He...he has no one to follow?" Not to mention that Jia Lian was worried, Lin Qingyun felt unreliable after hearing this, and if Mrs. Wang found out, she might go crazy.

"There is a young man with him. Both of them have never been out of the house. I'm afraid they won't know if they are betrayed." Tu Yan felt that Jia Baoyu had courage, but also found it funny. He also thought that there are so many dudes in Beijing. I'm afraid that most of the children are like this.Thinking that when he left Beijing for the first time, he was accompanied by so many people, and he was deceived several times.

"How do you say it as if you saw it? You must be hiding something from me."

"It's the credit of that Ninghe county magistrate. I'm afraid she had already noticed Jia Baoyu's intentions and ordered someone to follow him quietly, but she didn't stop him, just waiting for him to help when he was desperate. I found it, I found it interesting, so I didn’t care.”

"Xichun, fourth sister, who can I use?" Lin Qingyun was also surprised when he heard the words.

"The county lord and relatives have a dowry, and these dowries include not only the servants, but also the guards in charge of defense. In the future, the court may take back some of the dowry personnel, but at present the court has not made an order, so these people are still the county lord's people. The county lord has given orders, and the guards have to do it. There is no need to worry about this, at the beginning we knew that the marriage would not be possible, and the guards were carefully selected, not only loyal and brave, but also with extraordinary martial arts skills, protecting Jia Baoyu is not difficult."

The next day, the army returned triumphantly, and the people inside and outside the city watched with joy.

The peace mission first entered the city in a low-key manner, and the County Lord Ninghe was admitted to live in the palace temporarily. This is a kind of honor and comfort.Xichun's heart that had been on her mind finally fell back to the original place, and she was not too worried about the future. Anyway, the imperial court canonized the county head for her marriage, and for the sake of the imperial court's face, she would not treat her too badly.No matter how bad it is, she can still become a monk on the grounds of praying for the country. There will never be such filthy things in the royal temple.

The affairs of the imperial court are very busy, one is to reward the army, and the other is to deal with the surrounding small countries. Fortunately, the emperor met the ministers and discussed the regulations, and the officials below followed suit.Considering that those countries were small and scattered, it would be inconvenient to manage them even if they were incorporated into the territory of the dynasty, and the court could not spare so much energy, so the emperor decided to start the war with the foreign vassal first, violating the peace treaty, and fined the small countries along the West Sea , and then doubled the tribute coins of previous years.In addition, the emperor secretly selected new heirs of small countries, all of whom were greedy for comfort or cautious and timid. At the same time, he did not give up secretly monitoring these small coastal countries.

The amount of fines set by the imperial court varies according to the national strength of each small country, which is not only a pain in the heart for foreign vassals, but also not impossible to pay.In order to redeem their kings, princes, ministers, etc., even with the power of the whole country, they still have to do so.Of course, the court's move will inevitably be criticized by some literati, who think it has lost the bearing of a big country.What literati believe in is civilization and enlightenment, and they have close contacts with neighboring small countries. The Supreme Emperor was like this back then, but the emperor always felt that this was unreasonable.

At the critical moment, someone wrote an article, which was well-founded and well-organized. Looking at the past and the present, it actually made people believe that it was the court's generosity and benevolence that inflated the ambitions of foreign domains, and it was the court's meekness that fostered The elite soldiers and generals of the foreign vassals believed that the imperial court's policy towards the foreign vassals should be reformed.

One stone caused a thousand waves!

Not to mention how the literati and ministers responded, but this article spread at an extremely fast speed, and even teahouses, restaurants, and storytellers began to talk about this article, thus talking about neighboring countries, talking about the imperial court’s firearms, and the imperial court’s great victory ...

The whole country is boiling.

There has never been a dynasty that can make the people openly discuss political affairs. Now that this matter is developing so rapidly, it is obviously acquiesced by the court, and even fueled the flames.The emperor took this action to make the people know the imperial court again, and understand the difference between him and the emperor. When the whole country was infected by the article, the emperor gathered this force and reformed along the way.Policy reforms to neighboring countries are only the beginning.

Everyone is inquiring about who made the article. The article is well written, and more importantly, the depth of the article is unusual.But anyone who is an official in the court, or who is sensitive to court affairs, can realize the significance of this article, or the person who made the article.

Finally, one morning, the emperor said the person's name.

"Lin Aiqing has a good son-in-law, and Zhuang Li is a great talent who can be of great use."

Zhuang Li? !

The number one scholar in the current department is still doing Qipin editing in the Imperial Academy.Although the ancestors of the Zhuang family were honored, but now Zhuang Peicai is a fourth-rank official, and he is not eligible to go to the court without an edict. I don't know what year it was, but who knows that it is so valued by the emperor now.How many people in this dynasty can make the emperor say the four words "worthy of great use"?How many young people like Zhuang Li are there?

Some ministers looked at Lin Ruhai with reddened eyes. Sure enough, other people's sons-in-law are all good.

Lin Ruhai was self-satisfied in his heart, but he was modest in his mouth, and he understood that although the emperor really valued Zhuang Li, he would not use him publicly in the past two years.No matter how talented a person is, it takes a few years of honing to use it, but the emperor's blue eyes are very important to Zhuang Li. Zhuang Li is not a thing in the pond, and sooner or later he will soar into the sky.

The matter of the foreign vassals was properly handled, and the matter of Nan'an Prince's support for the army was dealt with.

Earlier, the emperor ordered several large ships to salvage the place where Prince Nan'an "had an accident", but only pieces of clothes and accessories were salvaged, but the body was missing.But this move was really effective, Princess Nan'an seemed to believe it, she fell ill all of a sudden, she couldn't get up now, the whole palace was completely ruined, and she was in mourning.

Concubine Tai is indeed a shrewd person. Seeing that the wind outside is not in the right direction, she immediately closed the door to attend the funeral and observe filial piety. In this way, no matter how serious the crime is, it is not easy to be punished immediately.However, the concubine underestimated this matter, and also underestimated the emperor's desire to punish. The emperor wanted to take this opportunity to purify the court and promote various reforms.The emperor can honor and support them, but they are not allowed to occupy their positions and do nothing, but instead disrupt the government.

This emperor is indeed cruel-hearted and courageous, and he doesn't even care about the emperor's reputation when necessary.

The censor's impeachment papers flew to the imperial case like a snowflake. The clan's mansion and the three divisions jointly interrogated and determined the crimes of the Nan'an prince, including a series of crimes against the Nan'an prince's mansion.This inevitably involves several dignitaries serving in the army, including the Lin'an Bo Mansion, the Wei Family, and the Shi Family.Several of the crimes of these people are the same, such as forming a party, losing money, reselling equipment for personal gain, etc. The old cases committed by the children of the family relying on their power have been uncovered one by one. A woman is a concubine, and as a prince, she has committed more than one crime. Of course, there are things that kill people.

The emperor ordered to read all the crimes of these people in the court hall, and said: "Although the prince of Nan'an has the intention of treason, he will not pursue this crime because of the merits of his ancestors and his death. The concubine of Nan'an is old. It should be honored and raised. The mansion of the palace will not be taken back for the time being. The old concubine will be returned to the household department for archives after a hundred years. The son of Nan'an, Huo Yan, has committed many crimes. He is the only male in the palace. He can be exempted from the death penalty, and the canonization of the prince will be taken back, and the rod will be fifty. Except for the dowry of the old concubine, the princess of Nan'an and the concubine of the prince, all the property and money of the Nan'an palace will be confiscated into the official."

Except for the Wei family because of the death of General Wei, the emperor has already dealt with it.

Others, such as Lin'an Bofu seized the title and ordered him to return the money owed to the state treasury within a time limit. Although his son Jiang Cong was in the same place with Huo Yan, he was sentenced to three months in prison and sentenced to twenty sticks.Uncle Lin'an was not willing to let his son suffer, and spent a lot of money to avoid Jiang Cong's imprisonment, but he couldn't escape the cane punishment, but the executioner was so cruel that Jiang Cong lay on the bed for a month before he recovered.Jiang Cong is like this, Huo Yan is even more conceivable. The old concubine, princess, and concubine Shizi almost fainted from crying. When Huo Yan was carried back, his face was as white as paper, his body was soaked, and his lower half It's all blood, and I can't wake it up.Of course, people are not dead, and they only have breath left.

The old concubine and others felt that the emperor was cold-blooded and cruel, but they didn't know how many people outside applauded.Even the court ministers were deeply surprised. After all, the charges of treason by the prince of Nan'an were solidly proved, but the female family members of the palace are still well-clothed and well-fed. Even the son is still alive, which is a blessing from heaven.

This matter was dealt with very quickly, and it was all sorted out before the twelfth lunar month.

Not to mention how other people are doing, He Yuefu has been paying attention to the progress of the matter, and was greatly disappointed with the result.In the past, He Yuefu only knew that Jiang Cong was coquettish and greedy, and he did not know how many good women he had played with secretly. He was overbearing and domineering, there was no one he couldn't get, so he didn't want to marry him.Now that he learned that his crime was more serious than what he knew, he was even more afraid, and only hoped that the emperor would behead him.When Jiang Cong was tortured with a cane, He Yuefu specially sent someone to see him, and even bribed the executioner with money, hoping to be more ruthless, but it is a pity that he is still alive, and he can get out of bed after a month of raising him.

I don't know how lively the capital has been these two months.

Lin Qingjun was lying on the warm couch, listening to the north wind whistling outside the window, and listening to the two Bailing Thrush talking about what they saw outside like a book, but Lu Luo, who was talking like a basket, was very quiet at the moment, she was talking to Hong Ling , Bailu, and Acacia cut the fabric together, and wanted to make some more soft clothes for Lin Qingyun, which didn't fit well before, and they were made every half a month.

Lin Qingyun counted the time and touched his stomach, feeling that it was just a few days away.

Thinking and laughing, since she was pregnant with this child, her ears were full of state affairs, and she actually used this as prenatal education.
