Jia Minqi's family in the Red Chamber

Lin Hai had carefully thought about the prince's mind, but because his temperament and temperament were far from that of the East Palace, he didn't think much about it.

But it is certain that the crown prince cares about face, and will never embarrass his important ministers in public, especially in the palace.Lin Hai is now also a genuine frontier official, worthy of the word "important minister".

The prince didn't even think about what to do in public.

Lin Hai stayed in the Hanlin Academy for three years, and the number of times he was on duty in front of his father was the highest in his class, and within a few years of his foreign appointment, his father appointed him as the patrolling censor.

The prince knew that this was a talent that his father was optimistic about, so he could still greet him with a smile, "Master Lin has worked hard all the way, but can you bear it?"

Compared with going by land, taking the canal is already more comfortable.Even so, Lin Hai's complexion at this time was not pretty.He calmly replied: "Prince Lao is concerned, the Holy Order is in his body, and I dare not speak lightly of hard work."

The Holy Majesty wanted to call him back to the capital, and the news had already reached his ears through the masters who joined the cabinet.Returning to Beijing this time is also well-prepared, not to mention hard work, at most a little tired.

This answer was quite satisfactory, the prince glanced at the eunuch who was lowering his head, but he was also sneaking a peek at his eunuch, "Don't keep father waiting. Go ahead." After speaking, he lifted his foot and left.

Lin Hai bowed and said, "Respectfully send off the prince."

Just as he was about to meet the courtiers of the Holy Majesty, the Crown Prince stopped them outside the study and insisted on saying a few words, making the Holy Majesty wait... Who can match this kind of honor and confidence?

The prince did not embarrass him, but this move itself meant to beat him.Lin Hai had expected such a scene.

Speaking of which, the prince didn't just hit him.His teacher, Mr. Zhou Ge, has always been lukewarm to the prince's mother and wife families. No matter how willful the prince is, he will not throw his face at Mr. Ge.As for beating Ge Lao, even his father would not use this move easily.

It is said that Lin Hai cooperated with the two imperial princes in Zhejiang to investigate the case. In most people's eyes, it was just that the holy decree was working hard on the mission, and it could not be called disrespectful to the prince.

Lin Hai also had mixed feelings about the prince acting like this: the prince is acting so "innocently and straightforwardly" now, let alone "the next day", it is difficult to keep the position of the crown prince.

Thinking of this, Lin Hai's eyes were firm, and he raised his foot and stepped firmly into the study of the Holy Majesty.Lin Hai passed the long live, and he straightened up after receiving the words "flat body" from the sage.

Lin Hai's slightly haggard face made the Holy Majesty feel a lot of emotion.He first ordered the eunuch in charge, "set up a seat for Lin Aiqing." After Lin Hai sat down, he said again, "Aiqing has been reduced."

Lin Hai said with a smile: "I feel that my body is a bit more relaxed. But the majesty's demeanor has not diminished."

His Majesty is almost sixty years old, and looks like he is only in his early forties with proper maintenance.Hearing this, the Holy Majesty just smiled slightly, "Frost and wind make people grow old, and time does not forgive people." He obviously didn't want to continue this topic, and instead asked about the situation in Zhejiang these days.

Lin Hai's secret book has been written three times in a row, and he has already explained the whole story clearly. This time, when the emperor asked him, he repeated it concisely: there are no modified words, it is just a simple narration.

The Holy Majesty didn't say a word after listening for a long time.

The Holy Majesty is satisfied with the handling of the two sons who went south, as well as the handling of several high-ranking officials in Zhejiang, especially after receiving the secret decree, the two governors of Liangjiang and the commander of the capital of Zhejiang are trying their best to cooperate with his two sons.

The military power is still firmly in his hands, even if Sun Er is rebellious and rebellious, the Holy Majesty can still hold his breath.

What he was really dissatisfied with was the Sun family, and the prince's reaction.

Sun Da even wrote a book after the incident, saying that his brother was deceived and his whereabouts were unknown in the process of chasing pirates...

Is this a gesture of sincere apology?It is clear that he is confident, but the Sun family's "reliance" sage is already a little disappointed, but after all, he doesn't want to really hurt the face of his most beloved son.

The crown prince is the crown prince, under the sage, above ten thousand people, if the prince's face is cut off by the sage himself, it may be very difficult to make it up again.

The Holy Majesty was decisive all his life, but he hesitated twice and thrice over the prince.

Seeing His Majesty's face darken little by little, Lin Hai simply remained silent.Although he is highly valued by the Holy Majesty, when it comes to the prince, it is both the Holy Majesty's family affairs and state affairs, and he has no "leisure" to make irresponsible remarks.Because even his teacher, Zhou Ge, is not qualified to discuss this matter with the Holy Majesty.

As far as Lin Hai knew, as long as he had anything to do with the prince, the sage would only discuss major and minor matters with two, one was Mr. Zhang, the chief assistant, and the other... was the second prince's biological mother, the noble concubine.

After Lin Hai resigned, the Holy Majesty pondered for a long time alone, but the more he pondered, the more upset he became.

The two sons who went south to return to Beijing, as well as Lin Hai who was called back by him, were all beaten according to the facts, without a single bit of embellishment - the secret documents sent by confidants everywhere have fully confirmed this point.

For this reason, the Holy Majesty was somewhat relieved.

Sitting still was not an option, he suddenly wanted to talk to someone, so he turned his head to face the eunuch, his confidant, "Show the Yikun Palace."

Yikun Palace is the imperial concubine's bedroom.

The confidant eunuch Wang Delu responded, and gave orders as soon as he went out, but he couldn't stop muttering in his heart: My lord, you went to talk to the noble concubine when you were upset about the prince.

It's just that he was an old man who could serve him personally when the emperor was still the prince, so he couldn't persuade him with such words.

After leaving the Qianqing Palace, the Holy Majesty did not take the chariot, but walked to the Yikun Palace with people... The more he thought about the journey, the more uncomfortable he felt: he loves the crown prince so much, but what did the crown prince give him in return?

Anyway, when he arrived at Yikun Palace, his face was darker than when Lin Hai resigned.

The imperial concubine welcomed the sage into the palace, and said with a blunt smile, "Your face is really ugly."

The Holy Majesty was not angry, "I feel uncomfortable, I want to talk to you."

The imperial concubine was overjoyed, "You say that... what else can I say." Having said that, she first invited the emperor to the Arhat's bed, and then asked the eldest girl to serve tea and prepare snacks.

Eating and drinking came second, the main purpose was for the Holy One to take advantage of this time to calm down.The Holy Majesty couldn't tell when he was quiet, but after drinking half a cup of tea, his expression calmed down a bit.

The imperial concubine saw the opportunity and asked, "You are worried about the prince, does the prince know?"

Who in and out of the palace doesn't know why I'm unhappy?The Holy Majesty was about to speak, but saw the noble concubine waved her hand, and said to him with a smile, "How long have you been troubled by him, and you have thought so hard about him, don't you tell me how can he figure it out? Let me tell you, you can't always If you expect the prince to wake up on his own, why have you given enough reminders?"

When the noble concubine said these words, the majesty was silent for a moment, but instead of being angry, he laughed, "It's all my fault?" He admitted that the concubine Ai was very reasonable, but when the subject changed, he complained again, "He didn't even How old is he, is it possible that I still teach him word by word like when I was a child? I have been married to the Crown Princess for so many years, and I have never given me a good grandson!"

The latter sentence was also hitting the heart of the noble concubine. The noble concubine's chest felt tight for a while, and she was not polite immediately, "If you don't talk to the prince more, what will outsiders think when they see it."

This sentence also just "returned" to the heart of the Holy One.

After a while, seeing the concubine's uneasy expression, and remembering that the second son had only one girl under his knees, the Holy Majesty said helplessly, "This...can't be forced." After a pause, he asked, "Old~Second~, have the two of them entered the palace to pay their respects?"

He just asked knowingly.

The noble concubine said angrily: "Can you not come? My son has lost weight and his spirits are not looking good, so I sent the couple to go back and rest quickly."

The Holy Majesty was a little embarrassed, and quickly ordered, "Wang Delu, let the Imperial Hospital send someone to visit the Second Prince's Mansion."

Seeing Wang Delu going out, the imperial concubine squinted her eyes and said, "He's just tired." Even so, she said in her heart: Honestly, you just forget about it.

The Holy One laughed and said, "Send the imperial physician to take a look, don't worry."

In all fairness, how can the imperial concubine like the prince?But her thoughts can be firmly buried in the bottom of her heart.

Speaking of the imperial concubine, everyone has to be convinced, and then praise "the imperial concubine is always fair".

Especially the Holy Majesty, he also believed that the imperial concubine, mother and son did not have too much ambition, because everyone could see the bones of the second prince.Unless there is only such a son left by the Holy One, he will never pass the throne to the second prince who will never leave.

The imperial concubine knew this well, since she was "fair", she would be fair to the end, she reminded again, "My lord, have you visited sister Xianfei's place?"

Concubine Xian is the biological mother of the sixth prince.

Generally speaking, if the prince made meritorious service, the Holy One would not only reward the son, but also reward his biological mother.

Sun Er fled in fear of crime, and the two princes and all the high-ranking officials in Zhejiang handed over secret documents without any evidence, and Sun Er's brother, Mr. Sun, insisted that his younger brother died in battle...

Whether or not to give the Sun family another face, the Holy Majesty is not only looking at the prince, but is actually still waiting for the response of the old man.

But no matter what, for the prince's sake, what the Sun family did in Zhejiang will not be announced to the world.

Therefore, the contributions made by the two sixty-two princes cannot be rewarded as they should be, so the Holy One naturally has to appease the two sons and their biological mother.

Both affection and reason were visited by the concubine Xian in the palace. The emperor asked the concubine to remind him once, and his anger surged up uncontrollably: Who am I doing this for, and what am I trying to achieve?

This night, the Holy One stayed overnight in Yikun Palace.

The next day after the pilgrimage, the Holy Majesty approved several memorials, and suddenly remembered the words of the imperial concubine yesterday, and finally couldn't help calling his most precious son to the Qianqing Palace.

Originally, at this time, the crown prince was supposed to be working and discussing matters with all the officials in the East Palace.

The prince was also very angry at this time: Knowing that Sun Er used his name to sell officials and nobles in Zhejiang, cheat and smuggle, and "earned" millions of dollars in total, he was furious immediately.For more than ten years, the money he got from the Sun family was only a hundred thousand taels!

But Grandpa Sun begged again in time, saying that if he really had no other way out, he could only worry Sun Jiading... and said that this was what Grandpa Sun meant.

For this reason, the prince drank herbal tea for three consecutive days to calm the anger.

Grandpa Sun calculated very accurately: the prince is completely different from Grandpa Sun.Regarding the disposal of the Sun family, if the prince does not express his position, the Holy Majesty will be patient and raise his hand.

He didn't want to protect his younger brother's family anymore, he just wanted to delay it for a day, so that the Holy Majesty and the Crown Prince were willing to delay it until the big incident was reduced to a small one.

But when the prince stepped into his father's study, he saw his father pointing to his side, "Come and sit."

Having said that, the prince still sat down beside his father after saluting in a proper manner.

The Holy Majesty asked immediately, "Have you thought about it?" It's strange that he is still in a good mood to this day.

The crown prince was stunned, and then said honestly, "He... said that the persecution was too severe, so he wanted Ding You." The crown prince could no longer call out this uncle.

The Holy Majesty picked up the teacup on the table—the back of his hand holding the teacup was tingling with veins.Seeing this, the prince hurried forward and took the teacup from his father's hand.

The prince blushed, "My son was almost confused at the time! But... I can't bear to part with my grandfather."

Looking at the maids in the house who were already kneeling in the room, and the worried son in front of him, the Holy Majesty finally cursed, "You just let him threaten you? If he dares to attack your grandfather, you still can't destroy his three clans." ?!"

The crown prince argued: "Then what if there is something wrong with the grandfather... the son is a stalker."

Which emperor is willing to hand over the throne to a son who has no nostalgia and no conscience?

What His Majesty valued was the prince's sincerity, so could he be changed?He deeply felt that what the imperial concubine said was reasonable, and the crown prince still needed him to teach him carefully.

It's better to hit the sun than to pick the sun, and it's better to talk to your son now.The Holy Majesty had just calmed down, and the crown prince also sat back to his original position, when Wang Delu suddenly stepped forward to report: Grandpa Sun is gone...

The prince stood up suddenly, and swayed because he couldn't stand still, "How could it be?!"

The Holy Majesty is much calmer than the Prince: Sun Da is afraid that he will not go mad and intentionally kill his father, it is likely that Sun Da's father knew that the eldest son ran to threaten the Prince and did not come up in one breath.

He said to the prince: "Sit down and listen to what's going on." Then he turned to his confidant eunuch, "Go on."

Wang Delu got the order and continued, "The Sun family hung a white flag. The people inside have seen it with their own eyes."

The spies placed in Sun's house reported back in time: Mr. Sun entered Mrs. Sun's room first. After a while, several housekeepers of Sun's family trotted in together. When they came out, their eyes were red, and they shouted in a crying voice that Mrs. Sun was gone. .The spies also found an opportunity to enter the old man's house to check, and the old man was indeed gone.

The prince finally sat down in a daze at this moment: I haven't seen my grandfather for the last time...

But at this time, another eunuch, the Holy Majesty's confidant, stepped forward quickly, "My Majesty..." He wanted to say he was overjoyed, but seeing the expressions of the Holy Majesty and the Crown Prince, he suppressed the joy and excitement, "The Crown Princess is happy."

His Majesty patted the prince on the shoulder, "Okay! Go back and visit the princess first, and then go to your grandfather's house."

It wasn't that the Holy One was merciless, but that he found that his father-in-law's influence on the prince seemed to be beyond his expectation, and he was immediately unhappy.

If Sun Da used the excuse of his father's last wish to ask the crown prince to come forward to exonerate him... Sun Dalian could say "forced to Ding You", so of course the determination of their family should not be underestimated.

The prince finally came back to his senses. When he was mixed with sorrow and joy, he was in a state of confusion. He forced himself to calm down and said, "Yes. Father, my son will go and have a look."

The prince is over 30, and the concubine is about the same age as the prince. It is not easy to conceive at this age.

In the East Palace, the Crown Princess was talking to her confidantes with joy. When she heard that the Crown Prince was coming back, she got up quickly, but was helped by the Crown Prince who quickly entered the door and sat back on her seat.

The prince forced a smile and said, "You should benefit from it."

"I have something on my mind" is almost written on the prince's face, how can the princess turn a blind eye, "What's wrong with you?"

The prince wiped his face, "My grandfather is gone."

The Crown Princess blurted out, "But you made... annoyed?"

Grandpa Sun is the only one in the Sun family.The two of them, Sun Dasun and Sun Er, have no morals and incompetence, and they insisted on occupying their seats. I don't know how many times they have tripped up their father behind their backs.

Knowing that the only pillar of the Sun family has fallen, the Crown Princess really wants to have fun: The Sun family is over.

The prince didn't want to mention this matter again, "Father is in charge of everything." After a pause, he said, "Don't worry about these things."

Push it to the emperor again? !

The crown princess didn't want to say anything immediately: he always likes to escape.Who knows when His Majesty will run out of patience?

She lowered her head and gently stroked her lower abdomen. If she had a son, she wouldn't have to rely too much on her husband in the future.

The East Palace announces the good news, the Sun family announces the funeral...

The news reached Lin Hai's ears, at least an hour later than the saint.

The Lin family and the Sun family are in the same inner city, not far away.The Sun family had a funeral, and there was a lot of movement; as for the concubine's pregnancy, it was the second prince who sent him the news.

At that time, Jia Min was in the inner room of the study, waiting for the second prince's messenger to return, and then she came out and said generously, "Unexpectedly, King Rong, who has always been calm and magnanimous, can't bear his temper."

Lin Haihun didn't care, "It's about the future, so he can't be in a hurry."

Jia Min said: "It's still early, what are you in such a hurry for?" The former princess had a miscarriage.I don't want the prince and concubine to have a son, how can I count them.Not being able to keep his own son is a clear proof of the control methods of the prince and princess.

Hearing clearly what the daughter-in-law meant, Lin Hai nodded helplessly, "In the palace... oh."

The husband and wife were talking, and the girl came to report: The mother in front of the old lady of Rongfu came to pay her respects to the old lady.

Lin Hai heard that he even teased, "Mother-in-law urged you to go back."

Jia Min waved her hand, "My mother is not so impatient. Let's see who is the nanny in front of my mother."

The master had just come out of the palace, he didn't rest at home for a while, and walked into the Rongguo Mansion...Let others see him but he didn't know what to say.

Although Jia Min was not afraid, he didn't want to give someone a chance to frame him.

Lin Hai also became interested when he heard this, so the couple sat together and waited for the nuns of the Rong Mansion to come forward to see them.

The woman didn't expect that the aunt was also there, and then took a peek at the smiling aunt... She couldn't help but shuddered, but she still said bravely, "The old lady talked about the aunt several times, and sent the old slave to ask, Can my aunt go back and sit down today?"

Jia Min laughed and said, "How many years has this nanny been serving my mother? Why do I stare at him?"

The eldest girl Hongwen understood, and immediately explained, "The son and daughter of Mama Zhang are working in front of the second master and second wife."

Jia Min patted the back of the master's hand and told his confidants outside the door, "Send this nanny back, and definitely send it to my second sister-in-law."

The woman kowtowed violently, "Forgive me this time, my aunt!"

The author has something to say: Hurry up slowly, but still can't make it before 12 o'clock...

But the little red flower is really a cloud in the sky to me, ahem.
