[Red Mansion] Queen's Road
Chapter 75
Linlin closed her eyes, not wanting to talk to the person behind her.
After working hard for a while, the emperor looked up and saw that Linlin had already fallen asleep.
He got up on tiptoe, and as soon as he got to the door, he saw Qian Sheng spinning around the door like a spinning top.
"What's the matter? What kind of shoe soles are you grinding at this door?"
"Master, it's a good thing. Someone went to Beijing to file a complaint. He sued the Zhen family for extorting money in the south of the Yangtze River, driving the people to transport Taihu stones day and night like slaves."
"Oh." The emperor smiled, "How can you be happy about such a shocking thing?"
Qian Sheng slapped himself lightly on the mouth, "The slave will be punished with death."
The emperor laughed, "Let's go, let's add fire and let this drama continue."
Then Dali Temple received the pleadings.
The surname of Dali Temple is Bai, and his nickname is Baigangtou.
Nowadays, people think that steel is more durable than iron, so the reputation of steel head was given to Mr. Bai.
This Bai Gangtou received the pleadings and went to the palace to ask for an order to go to the south of the Yangtze River to investigate the case.
Of course the emperor agreed, and this Lord Bai was stopped by someone sent by the Supreme Emperor just less than twenty miles out of the capital.
The emperor then heard from Xiyuan's eyeliner that the Supreme Emperor and the Baigangtou monarchs roared at each other.
The Taishanghuang's health was not good, so he fainted on the spot.
As soon as Bai Gangtou saw the appearance of the Supreme Emperor, after repeatedly weighing the pros and cons of forcing the Supreme Emperor to death and going to Jiangnan to investigate the case, he chose to go to Jiangnan to investigate the case.
The old man knelt down in the West Garden, hoping in his heart that the Supreme Emperor would not really die. If the Supreme Emperor was really angry, even if the Emperor could forgive him, all the civil and military officials would have to tear himself into several pieces. If you dismantle yourself, then no one will dare to take care of Jiangnan's affairs.
There is three points of panic in my heart and six points of anxiety.
Fortunately, the imperial physicians stationed in the West Garden were worthy of their salaries. A few elderly physicians performed a few injections, and the Supreme Emperor turned the corner, opened his eyes and let out a breath.
Tremblingly, he said to the people around him, "Drag the one named Bai out and chop him up."
Not long after this edict was issued, guards ran over to set up Bai Gangtou, stuffed him into a carriage, and threw a lot of money, clothes and dry food on his carriage. "The emperor ordered you to go to the south of the Yangtze River as soon as possible, to find out the facts of the case and report it truthfully."
Bai Gangtou was so grateful on the carriage, he didn't dare to stop for a moment, and led a group of people straight to the pier in the carriage.
The Supreme Emperor waited for a while, and asked the eunuch beside him, "Have you cut it?"
The eunuch went out to inquire, and replied, "It has been escorted out."
"Hmph, that's because some people don't want their heads to fall. Let the emperor come over and tell him that I'm going to Jiangnan for inspection."
When the emperor heard the news in the Imperial Study Room, he seemed not to believe his ears, "Say it again, what does the Supreme Emperor want to do?"
"To inspect Jiangnan."
"His old man is like that, so what's the point of patrolling?"
The elder Emperor Shikou is old, and the Minister of the Household Department broke out in cold sweat when he heard that he was patrolling the south of the Yangtze River. He first recalled the national treasury of silver, and he didn't care about his face, so he ran to the emperor and knelt down in front of the emperor. Think twice, we... have no money."
The last three words were howled by him very loudly.
Of course the emperor knew whether there was money in the treasury. All officials in the household department cried poor every day. Don't believe what they said about how much money they had. They would not tell the truth to irrelevant people.
"I will postpone other things today, I will go to Xiyuan."
When the emperor arrived at the Taishanghuang's bedroom, the Taishanghuang had recovered and was lying on the bed moaning.
The Grand Concubine sat on the edge of the bed, and the Eastern Empress Dowager sat on a stool, two zhang away from the bed.
Regardless of these, the emperor greeted the Supreme Emperor as soon as he entered the palace, and asked him, "Who gave you such a bad idea, you old man can't travel long distances now, if you go to the south of the Yangtze River, the road will be bumpy...don't hate me It's ugly, I don't want to give you a funeral."
The Eastern Empress Dowager also said, "Although the emperor's words are not pleasant to listen to, every word and every word is for the sake of the emperor..."
"Shut up." The Supreme Emperor scolded.
The Empress Dowager shut her mouth in embarrassment.But he was a little unwilling, "Your Majesty, who came up with the idea of going to the south of the Yangtze River? Isn't it because of the lice on the bald man's head?"
When the noble concubine heard it, isn't this framing me?Just as they were about to open their mouths, the emperor interrupted them directly, "Your old man, you should think about it. Let's not talk about the waste of people and money on this journey. The place in the south of the Yangtze River is humid, hot and miasmic. It's better to raise people in the north."
"Even if I die, I will die in Jiangnan. The place in Jiangnan is good." After speaking, she patted the hand of Grand Concubine Gui, who nodded quickly.
The Empress Dowager's lungs were about to explode.
Regardless of the grievances between the three of them, the emperor directly denied it, "This journey is a waste of money and people. When the treasury has money, I will arrange for you to go to the south. If there is nothing else, I will go back to the palace first."
The emperor was anxious, "Come back... Do you think I want to go to the south of the Yangtze River by myself? I want to take the prince there so that he can see the great rivers and mountains."
The emperor laughed angrily, "I want him to see what it means to be in dire straits."
"In the Kyushu of the world, some places have fertile land and some places are barren, so the inequality of wealth among the people in the world is a matter of days. In some places, the people live and work in peace and contentment. In some places, the people are poor, and there are often troublemakers among the people. Go more. It's not a bad thing for him to see each other more.
I brought him there to benefit a lot, let him see the prosperity of Jiangnan, know the prosperity of Jiangnan's literary style, and also promote his reputation of being filial to his grandfather who patrolled the world.More importantly, let the officials and people in the south of the Yangtze River see our prince. This will have a great effect on stabilizing people's hearts. How can those few taels of silver be compared. "
The emperor also has his own obsessions, and it is his wish that the country last forever.
The current performance of the prince in the capital is only seen by the officials and people in the capital. If he goes out of the capital, he will not only see what the people are like, but also let the officials and people see a wise prince.
Just like when the Qin Dynasty was unified, how many people endured the tyranny of the first emperor and waited for the crown prince to help Su take the throne...
Seeing the emperor not speaking, the Supreme Emperor smiled triumphantly.
After weighing the pros and cons, the emperor said, "When my son goes back to see how much money is in the treasury, he can do whatever he wants. After the treasury has been counted, he will send someone to report back to the Supreme Emperor."
The Supreme Emperor nodded in satisfaction, "Go back and make arrangements as soon as possible."
The emperor came to the West Garden angrily, and returned to the palace thoughtfully.
Many civil and military ministers were still gathering outside the imperial study, and they didn't know if the emperor had persuaded the emperor to stop them, and these people didn't dare to ask.
Since the emperor decided to let Qilin leave the capital, he arranged all kinds of troops in advance to prevent someone from being assassinated.
Then, half of the people in the inner guard camp were sent out to the south of the Yangtze River, and the details of the people and horses from all sides were first found out and sent back to Beijing.
When he was returning to the harem, he was still thinking, "This year is not enough. If you want to go out for a walk, you have to wait until next year. After the spring of next year, you will go to Yangzhou first by water. It is said that the fireworks will go to Yangzhou in March. This arrangement That old thing sure satisfies.
Going ashore from Yangzhou, first let Qilin go around Yangzhou a few times. First, the queen once lived in Yangzhou, and second, there are salt merchants gathered in Yangzhou.For the salt and iron controlled by the imperial court, Qilin must go to the base camp of the salt merchants to have a thorough understanding of the salt merchants.
Heading all the way to Jinling, you will definitely be able to see the scenery of the south of the Yangtze River along the way. How much you can learn by then depends on this kid's luck. "
When I returned to Ganlu Hall, I saw a few brats around the queen.
Qilin took Bai Ze and Zou Wu to think of a baby name for their unborn little brother.
Bai Ze insisted on calling his unborn younger brother Zou Wu. As for the present Zou Wu, it would be very appropriate to name him Taotie.
He also pointed his finger on his younger brother's forehead, "You will know how to eat when you eat."
"It's delicious, why don't you eat it?"
"Do you dare to talk to me, do you know how to be a good brother? A good brother is what the elder brother says. Do you see me and the elder brother being stubborn?"
Zou Wu pouted. At this young age, he didn't have enough vocabulary to argue with his brother, so he could only snort heavily, dive into Linlin's arms, and point his back and butt towards Bai Ze .
Linlin sighed, put her hand on Zou Wu's forehead and rubbed it a few times.
Qilin, the oldest, always wants to share her mother's worries.
"Why does the queen mother sigh?"
Bai Ze interjected, "Zou Wu must be angry after provoking my mother."
Zou Wu quickly turned his head and roared loudly, "I don't talk nonsense without you."
Linlin said to Qilin, "See, it's these two little things that annoy me. If the mother-in-law is in front of me, I'll discuss with them about replacing these two little things with two princesses."
The two little ones stopped talking, and Bai Ze quickly climbed onto the couch, putting his head in Linlin's arms, "Don't want us, Queen Mother, we will be obedient."
Zou Wu followed suit, "I am obedient too."
Linlin was sad and funny at this time, "It's okay, it's okay, I have been born and raised so much, I even discussed it with the mother-in-law, but she didn't listen."
Qilin smiled on the side, "Don't worry, I will have a princess in the future, we will have a few more daughters and put them in front of you."
The two younger ones hurriedly followed the elder brother's example, "We also have daughters, and I will give you as many as I have."
"I am born too, and I am born too."
The emperor walked in and slapped each of the two little guys on the buttocks, "Come down, I don't know that your queen mother has a little sister in her belly, come down quickly."
I thought in my heart that at this time to please your mother and want to give birth to the princess, just wait, and I want to slap myself in the face when I think about it later.
He also told them about going to Jiangnan, "It will be next spring at the earliest, and it is enough to arrange the time in advance for half a year, but only our family knows about this matter, and no one is allowed to tell it. With gossip..."
The three sons looked at by the emperor sneered.
Qilin hurriedly stood in front of his younger brothers, "Father, it may not be our brother who spread the news, it may also be the Supreme Emperor."
The emperor originally wanted to scare his sons, but it didn't work.
He said, "You talk too much, take your brother to wash your hands."
The three boys, big and small, jumped out together.
The emperor sat down and looked at their backs with some emotion. "In a blink of an eye, we have been married for 10 years."
He didn't tell Linlin and he didn't notice it. After hearing this sentence, Linlin thought for a while.
"How many 10 years can we have in this life? After a few days, I will make a fan case for the emperor, and I will make another one after 10 years... I can only make small things like fan cases, and I will make it bigger. I can't do it either."
The emperor felt that it would be difficult for her to make a fan cover.
"You still have a small one in your belly, so why bother. Someone cut a handkerchief for you, and you can embroider a few stitches on it, which is what you like. Besides, the handkerchief can be used all the time, and the fan cover is only used in summer. Besides, fans are not auspicious things, and they are put away when it is cold, so it is better to carry a handkerchief with you all the time."
Linlin thought for a second that it really was the truth.
"Then I'll embroider one for you every year, and when I give birth to the one in my stomach, I'll make up for the previous few years. You can keep it at that time, and when we get older, we can take it out and enjoy it."
The emperor thought about it and thought it was a good proposal. "It's up to you."
After finishing speaking, she put her arms around Linlin's shoulders, feeling a little bit emotional, "This is like a dream. Looking back, think about how virtuous you were when you first married... No, it was very virtuous, and you are also virtuous now. Now more virtuous than before."
Linlin took her hand off the soft flesh on his waist.Dare to say that the old lady is not virtuous, can you find someone who can tolerate you more than the old lady?
Reminiscing about the past, the emperor began to think about the future, "When the time comes, our daughter will be born to look like you, and you will be beautiful. She will also have a temper like you, at least the son-in-law dare not show embarrassment to our daughter... In other words, You're all right from hair to heel."
Linlin burst out laughing, "What's wrong with the emperor today? Why did you mention this?"
"Sure enough, raising a daughter-in-law is different from marrying a daughter-in-law. To raise a daughter-in-law, I feel that if I marry someone else's family, I must be more powerful. If I want to marry a daughter-in-law, I think that my temper should be softer."
Linlin thought that probably because Princess Shouchun's marriage was finalized, he had a fatherly heart, so at this time, he felt a little more emotional.
Smiling, he stroked his beard with his hand, "Who trimmed the dragon's beard for the emperor? It looks mighty and extraordinary. When the time comes, I will send someone to reward this eunuch with more skillful hands."
The emperor was a little complacent, "If you have any reward, give it to me directly. I have always been mighty."
The husband and wife laughed at each other, and the three brothers over there had already washed their hands and rushed in.
Bai Ze complained, "Zou Wu doesn't want to wash his hands, he wants to fool the past."
Linlin didn't want to deal with these brats, even if they were her own.
The emperor was in the right mood, "You are an older brother and you have to set an example for your younger brother. If your younger brother doesn't listen, you have to persuade him."
After Bai Ze finished listening, it was as if he had obtained a Shangfang sword, "Did you hear that? What the emperor said, you will listen to me from now on."
Zou Wu made a face, "Don't listen, don't listen, don't listen."
Linlin thought that Bai Ze's current age was the most hated age, and he could make cats and dogs disgust him anywhere.Zou Wu was too young to understand anything he said.
It's not that he hasn't told Bai Ze about the truth, nor has he disciplined him. He also knows that he can't contradict his brother, so he only wants to play prestige in front of his brother.
But Zou Wu is a disobedient person, and he usually doesn't listen to Bai Ze's words. Every time the two of them get together, it's either you sue me or I sue you.
Linlin discussed with the emperor, "Can I take Bai Ze away next year? I'm going to have a baby in April and May of next year, and I don't have the energy to take care of them. When these two little brothers are together, touch me and I will give birth." Slap you across the face, endlessly."
"Don't worry, when the time comes, I will personally discipline the two of them, and you can just sit in confinement with peace of mind."
Having raised three brats, the couple sincerely hoped to give birth to a princess.
Every time Linlin was pregnant, the Lin family sent double copies of baby supplies to the palace.
First of all, the meaning is better, and good things come in pairs.
The second is to give a man and a woman different supplies, whether it is a boy or a girl, it can be used.
It was the same this time, Jia Min brought these things to the palace.
First, he looked at Linlin's face, and felt that Linlin's face was rosy, so he felt relieved.
"Your Majesty has also given birth to three princes, and you are already familiar with the family. I don't need to talk to your Majesty about things like having children. If your Majesty wants to eat anything, just order it down."
Linlin thought for a while, "There is really one thing I want to eat. I want to eat carrots in sauce, and I also want to eat that spicy sauce."
When Jia Min heard this, the first thing that came to mind was Sour Girl. "Maybe my mother's birth is a princess."
"I remember when I was pregnant with Qilin, I also wanted to eat spicy food. I was born as a kid. Don't say that, it's not allowed."
Jia Min smiled, "This is my mother's good fortune, not to mention being in the royal family, even ordinary people, who can give birth to three boys in one breath can still be strong in the in-law's house.
This baby still needs to be well maintained, whether it is pickled radish or hot sauce, they are all served with rice, so they should not be eaten too much.At first I wondered if we had these things in our house, but now that we don’t have them in our house, maybe there are in the palace, the Empress sent someone to look for them in the imperial dining room, you may not be able to find pickled radishes, but you can still find hot sauce owned. "
"Indeed, I found it. Watermelon and soybean paste. It tasted delicious the first time I ate it, but the second time I ate it, I found it very unpalatable." Speaking of this, he remembered that Lin Hao's daughter-in-law was also pregnant, "Don't talk about me, How is the elder sister-in-law?"
"I wanted to eat mutton for a while, but after a few meals, I got a little angry, and I didn't dare to let her eat more.
Speaking of this, I was a little worried, "I heard from the maids that she was a little homesick. Although your brother sent a letter to Sichuan, but the mountains are high and the road is far away, the in-laws may not come."
Traveling long distances these days is like losing half your life, not to mention that the road to Shu is difficult and it is difficult to go to the blue sky.
This topic was a bit unhappy, so Linlin asked her, "Is there anything else going on at home?"
Jia Min's expression became rich in an instant. At first, his eyebrows and eyes frowned, and then he pretended to be nonchalant, "What's the matter? Master is still the same as before. In a few days, your eldest brother will enter the Imperial Academy." .By the way, your little brother told me that he likes to eat the food of the Eastern Palace... I had the cheek to ask my mother for some recipes, and asked the kitchen staff to make them for him, so as not to make people laugh at me every time I go to the Eastern Palace for dinner. "
Linlin waved her hand nonchalantly, "Qilin doesn't eat much, just looking at my little brother and eating half a bowl of rice, besides, when my brother comes to our house, why not be polite to me, just eat enough."
Saying so, I still asked Bai Niu to find some recipes, and the words changed, "You are my mother, I can hear if there is anything, please tell me, is there something at home that is hidden from me?" ?”
Jia Min thought for a while, "It's okay to let your mother know about it. Bei Wang asked someone to come to our house and said that he wanted to marry your sister. Neither the master nor I are willing. The master told me, although Bei Jing Wang is young and dignified, but our family does not expect to have any relationship by marrying our daughter, and we want to find a wealthy family for your sister, so that we can live a down-to-earth life."
Linlin usually has the most contact with the clan, and the family members with different surnames Wang do not have much contact with them.
"Since the master and you are unwilling, then this matter is over. Although my sister is still a little young in my opinion, but the world's eyes are like this, I think she should find someone else, you and my father must be careful .”
"I gave birth to you guys without my mother's orders. She is my youngest child, so she is naturally very caring. Don't worry about family affairs, mother, just take care of yourself and your highnesses."
After Jia Min left, Linlin asked people to pick out the baby girl's products that the Lin family had sent over the years, washing and drying them, and preparing them for next year.
After putting away all the things that had been dried that night, Linlin looked at a pair of exquisitely embroidered shoes, and asked someone to pick out a pair of jackets and skirts that matched the shoes and put them together, thinking about asking them to make some other matching ones. , when she has a daughter to use these for her.
The emperor came back at this time, and when he saw the little clothes and shoes used by these girls, he clapped his hands and laughed, "I feel good just looking at these, I don't know if it's because I'm looking forward to my daughter, why do I think the clothes worn by girls are more beautiful than those of our sons?" Smaller and more refined."
Linlin ordered the things to be put away, and the couple sat together and talked, "Girls' clothes are more fancy than boys'. When I was young, my sister's clothes took more effort than my brother's. "
The emperor just asked casually, "Why do I remember that your sister is about the same age as our Shouchun, is your sister talking about her now?"
"Smaller than Shouchun," Linlin asked the emperor vigilantly, "Why do you ask this?"
"I just remembered this, and I asked casually, didn't you say to give her the imperial decree before? If someone gets married, say it in advance, and it will be more honorable for me to grant the marriage."
Linlin felt relieved when she saw that he didn't think about the old moon, "My mother came today, but she said something related to my sister."
"What is it?"
"Bei Wang wanted to marry my younger sister, but my parents felt it was inappropriate, so they politely refused."
The emperor squinted his eyes and thought for a while, "That's not a good match. Father-in-law has good eyesight, and the proof that he promised you to marry me back then."
Linlin sighed and didn't want to talk to him, "I don't know where my sister will be in the future?"
"Why do you want to do this? There are many people who want to establish a relationship with your family. Don't worry, there are many good men in the world. There will always be one for your family to choose."
"I have said before that if you want to marry my sister, you must be a couple with my sister for the rest of your life."
The emperor still hit Linlin directly like last time, "Dream."
After finishing speaking, she quickly told Linlin anxiously, "Don't meddle in your sister's affairs. When the flowering period is over and there is no husband's family, be careful that your mother's family will blame you."
Although the words were not pleasant, she also thought of herself, so Linlin gave him a good look, but she thought in her heart that she was already unlucky enough, facing her husband's huge group of concubines every day, she would never let her sister accompany her bad luck.
This idea is just at ease, thinking of finding an opportunity to implement it, as long as my sister is happy.
Silently paid attention.
On the second day, as soon as the emperor came down from the court, the ministers of civil and military affairs had not left, and the emperor received a letter from outside the palace, saying that Jia Lian had begged to Cui's mansion in a hurry.
The emperor still had some other things to deal with at the moment, and he couldn't leave for a while, so he asked Jia Lian to tell him to wait, he had something to do now, and he would go later.
After finishing the important matters, it was already afternoon, and the inner guard sent a message saying that there was a demon rampant in the capital recently, and asked for a secret arrest.
General Xiao Guo looked at the emperor seriously. The emperor lowered his head and read the paperwork again because of his usual rigor.
"...In just half a day's work, you figured it out based on the affairs of Jia Lian's family, by following the clues?"
"It's a bit unbelievable, but I can guarantee with my head that this is true. Some people just rely on a few pieces of paper to open an altar outside to seek wealth and death."
The emperor thought for a while, then squinted his eyes, "The country is about to perish and evildoers are rampant. Is this a warning from heaven?"
General Xiao Guo quickly knelt down, "Your Majesty, don't think so. These people are wild gods. There have been such legends in all dynasties. How can these young people be tied to the luck of the country?"
The emperor also didn't want to believe this kind of thing, "You bring more people, and when you go, take some of the urine of any black dog blood boy, and torture them severely after you catch them, so that no one will be left alive."
General Xiao Guo promised to go out, and the emperor quickly stopped him, "Remember to do this quietly, so as not to disturb the common people. Once such news leaks out, it will easily lead to chaos."
General Xiao Guo took the order with fists in his arms and left. The emperor thought about it, and quickly changed his clothes to meet Jia Lian.
Jia Lian went back and forth to various temples and Taoist temples in the capital several times today.
When the two met, Jia Lian turned himself into a dusty look.
The emperor wanted to be polite, Jia Lian rushed to him, "I just came to ask Brother Cui, is there any better talisman water in this capital, two people in our family have been bewitched?"
The emperor also pretended not to know and asked him, "How could it be? Who is it?"
"It was my cousin Baoyu and my mother-in-law. They had a quarrel in the garden today. I heard that they almost went to the kitchen to kill someone with a knife. Now I am unconscious with my teeth clenched. Taoist temple, the Taoist priests there are helpless, what should we do?"
The emperor thought for a while, "I think you are really in a hurry, you didn't think about it carefully, you shouldn't go to find some talisman for this matter, you should go to the doctor, maybe they ate something that shouldn't be eaten today Things, I heard that there is a kind of long and gorgeous mushroom people are prone to hallucinations, maybe it is because of eating such things that they have such difficulties."
"I also looked for the doctor, but it was useless. They couldn't even tell the reason for the coma."
The emperor insisted that he had eaten something that shouldn't be eaten, and actively recommended a famous doctor.
Jia Lian was skeptical, and really went to the doctor.
After a while, General Xiao Guo came back, "We investigated those people who came into contact with the Rongguo Mansion. There is a Daoist woman surnamed Ma who is indeed behind the scenes and has taken him down...Your Majesty, this person does know some magic."
"I just want to ask you, will the evildoer be captured as soon as the army arrives?"
"Although there was resistance, it was still defeated by the official army."
The emperor was relieved, as long as she was not flying to the ground, "interrogate her strictly to see if there are any other accomplices. At the same time, she will also dig three feet into the ground to dig out her teacher. After digging out, you don't have to be polite. To cull them all, we must cut the weeds and eradicate the roots, and we must not leave any scourge."
General Xiao Guo agreed and left.
The emperor thought that Jia Lian's family's affairs should improve as the behind-the-scenes mastermind failed.
Actually it is not.
This situation lasted for several days. Although others did not know about it, everyone in the Jia family was talking about it.
It's not that the family didn't work hard, no matter what method they tried, neither Wang Xifeng nor Jia Baoyu woke up.
General Xiao Guo's interrogation has come to fruition.
Ma Daopo was originally a wild person, so she explained why she harmed the two members of Jia's family.
The dossier reads:
Ma Daopo went to Rongguo Mansion several times and gained a lot of money, but the last time she went, she didn't get much silver taels.He lobbied Mrs. Wang to accumulate blessings to protect her mother, but Mrs. Wang did not agree at that time.
So he went to various houses and courtyards in an attempt to get some money, and met Jia Zheng's concubine, Mrs. Zhao, who conspired with Ma Daopo to ask Ma Daopo to kill Jia Lian and Jia Baoyu's brother, hoping that his son Jia Huan would inherit the property of Rongfu.And handed the horoscopes of the two people's birthdays and 500 taels of silver notes to Ma Daopo, and Ma Daopo gave Zhao a few paper figurines, and the two received both money and goods.
Ma Daopo opened the altar after returning home, but she did not expect it to be successful.
General Xiao Guo explained the reason to the emperor, "This Ma Daopo minister has been investigated by his subordinates. Although he has been in and out of big families, he doesn't have any great magic skills. The methods used to bluff people are common tricks used by peddlers. These The tricks can scare people, so I thought she had some spells at the beginning.
But after being tortured, she was found to be an ordinary woman... As for why the two people in the Rongguo Mansion were not awake at this time, Ma Daopo couldn't explain clearly, and the minister also sent someone pretending to be a doctor to visit their house, and felt a little baffled. The two patients did not eat or drink. Although they were slowly becoming weaker, they were much better than the other patients.I think it must be some kind of strange disease..."
"If you think about it, you should, if these words can't come out of your mouth."
General Xiao Guo bowed his head obediently. "The minister will investigate again."
The emperor nodded, "Go, this matter should be resolved as soon as possible, so as not to delay people's going to Jiangnan. The matter of the prince going to Jiangnan is much more important than this, and we can't lose the big because of small things."
General Xiao Guo held his fists and took the order away. The emperor thought about it for a while in the imperial study, and he finally breathed a sigh of relief, as long as he wasn't a monster.
The country is about to perish and monsters will be born, this is like a curse.How many dynasties, along with the stories of disasters and beauties, the most famous one is that Su Daji messed up the Yin and Shang dynasties.
Thinking about my own harem again, from the queen down, there is no one who is beautiful, and no one is too ordinary.
"There are no evildoers, my country will last forever, my prince is wise, and my Cui family's country will last forever."
The emperor repeated this sentence to himself, and after he finished speaking, he was still a little worried, so he sent someone to invite Jia Lian out.
"How is the doctor who recommended you last time? Has the disease been cured?"
Jia Lian shook his head sadly, "Maybe Mrs. Wang will abandon me and Qiaoer."
Jia Lian's daughter finally had a name called Qiao'er, which was said to have been given by Grandma Liu.
This made the emperor feel that the world is really small.
The emperor put his hand on Jia Lian's shoulder and patted twice, "Don't think too much, this doctor is not good, there are other doctors."
Jia Lian just shook his head blindly, "Our family's Baoyu may have some origins. He was born with a jade in his mouth... It is said that he has a great future. Now he suddenly went crazy and fainted, and he still hasn't woken up. Come here, my wife... I'm afraid she was implicated by him.
It's not easy for me to say this, but I don't feel like it. Our master has already sent someone to make a coffin, and he will let them be buried after the two of them die. "
The emperor wanted to get some ghostly things from Jia Lian, so he asked him, "Think about it again, did any supernatural things happen to your cousin from childhood to adulthood? If so, how did they save him at that time? Maybe we can save his life at this time... If it's true that doctors can't save people, we can only go another way."
"A miracle?"
"That's right, for example, when he was on the verge of death, he suddenly came back to life, for example, he was woken up suddenly after not doing his job properly every day, and for example... those inconceivable things, could they happen to him?"
Jia Lian tried to think back, and found that Jia Baoyu didn't seem to have done anything worth mentioning except that he liked to play around with girls. "
At this time, I suddenly had some opinions on the things that the old lady insisted on in the past. When Baoyu was young, Baoyu had no special performance. How did the old lady see that he would have great promise in the future? ?
Jia Lian told the story, "Except for the fact that my cousin was born with a piece of jade in his mouth, there is nothing miraculous about him for so many years."
The emperor asked again and again, "Are you sure?"
"I'm sure, have I been away from home for too long? What did Baoyu do? As a cousin, I still know. It's not like what you said."
The emperor was still somewhat unsure, "What about that piece of jade? That piece of jade was really taken out of his mouth, wasn't it a way for those women in the backyard to fight for favor?"
Jia Lian was a little puzzled, "What do you mean by that?"
The emperor moved the teacup in front of him, and sat closer, "Did your daughter be packed and carried to you when she was born?"
Jia Lian shook his head.
The emperor patted the table, "No wonder you believe this. Let me tell you, each of the three boys in our family was taken out of the delivery room and shown to me when they were born. Take our second boy and say that he is his The fattest one among the brothers, after being hugged, his little face was not as big as my slap, let alone his mouth. Let me ask you, how big is your cousin's piece of jade? A small baby's mouth can Can a piece of jade be stuffed? After stuffing it, will he be swallowed when he cries?"
"You say it's fake?"
"I'm not sure if it's fake. I think it's probably fake. Anyway, the five boys in our family are all over three years old now, and the hard things are made into small pieces before letting him eat them." Go down, a little bigger, when he eats, there will be people watching, afraid of choking."
Jia Lian's mind was quite confused, and he wanted to go back and ask, but he didn't know where to start.
"If you want me to say this, it's useless to pray to gods and Buddhas. I still have to go to the doctor."
The emperor just gave him a sentence, "Think about it carefully."
Not to mention that after Jia Lian went back, she pulled Ping'er out to ask her how much Qiao'er was when she was born, and if she could put a piece of jade in her mouth.Let's just say that a few days later, something happened that made the emperor and General Xiaoguo restless.
Rongguo Mansion Jia Baoyu and Wang Xifeng woke up.
A monk came together, didn't bring any talisman water, just chanted it with Jia Baoyu's jade.
People wake up.
How many people who were not woken up after seeing a doctor and injecting medicine, just chanted it once and woke up.
General Xiao Guo set up a net to arrest this life together.
He led people around the city, and lost these two people in an alley.
The people from the inner guard camp dug three feet around the alley without resting day and night, and it was as if the two men had disappeared, never to be found again.
General Xiao Guo came to see the emperor with dark circles under his eyes, "I'm dead!"
After working hard for a while, the emperor looked up and saw that Linlin had already fallen asleep.
He got up on tiptoe, and as soon as he got to the door, he saw Qian Sheng spinning around the door like a spinning top.
"What's the matter? What kind of shoe soles are you grinding at this door?"
"Master, it's a good thing. Someone went to Beijing to file a complaint. He sued the Zhen family for extorting money in the south of the Yangtze River, driving the people to transport Taihu stones day and night like slaves."
"Oh." The emperor smiled, "How can you be happy about such a shocking thing?"
Qian Sheng slapped himself lightly on the mouth, "The slave will be punished with death."
The emperor laughed, "Let's go, let's add fire and let this drama continue."
Then Dali Temple received the pleadings.
The surname of Dali Temple is Bai, and his nickname is Baigangtou.
Nowadays, people think that steel is more durable than iron, so the reputation of steel head was given to Mr. Bai.
This Bai Gangtou received the pleadings and went to the palace to ask for an order to go to the south of the Yangtze River to investigate the case.
Of course the emperor agreed, and this Lord Bai was stopped by someone sent by the Supreme Emperor just less than twenty miles out of the capital.
The emperor then heard from Xiyuan's eyeliner that the Supreme Emperor and the Baigangtou monarchs roared at each other.
The Taishanghuang's health was not good, so he fainted on the spot.
As soon as Bai Gangtou saw the appearance of the Supreme Emperor, after repeatedly weighing the pros and cons of forcing the Supreme Emperor to death and going to Jiangnan to investigate the case, he chose to go to Jiangnan to investigate the case.
The old man knelt down in the West Garden, hoping in his heart that the Supreme Emperor would not really die. If the Supreme Emperor was really angry, even if the Emperor could forgive him, all the civil and military officials would have to tear himself into several pieces. If you dismantle yourself, then no one will dare to take care of Jiangnan's affairs.
There is three points of panic in my heart and six points of anxiety.
Fortunately, the imperial physicians stationed in the West Garden were worthy of their salaries. A few elderly physicians performed a few injections, and the Supreme Emperor turned the corner, opened his eyes and let out a breath.
Tremblingly, he said to the people around him, "Drag the one named Bai out and chop him up."
Not long after this edict was issued, guards ran over to set up Bai Gangtou, stuffed him into a carriage, and threw a lot of money, clothes and dry food on his carriage. "The emperor ordered you to go to the south of the Yangtze River as soon as possible, to find out the facts of the case and report it truthfully."
Bai Gangtou was so grateful on the carriage, he didn't dare to stop for a moment, and led a group of people straight to the pier in the carriage.
The Supreme Emperor waited for a while, and asked the eunuch beside him, "Have you cut it?"
The eunuch went out to inquire, and replied, "It has been escorted out."
"Hmph, that's because some people don't want their heads to fall. Let the emperor come over and tell him that I'm going to Jiangnan for inspection."
When the emperor heard the news in the Imperial Study Room, he seemed not to believe his ears, "Say it again, what does the Supreme Emperor want to do?"
"To inspect Jiangnan."
"His old man is like that, so what's the point of patrolling?"
The elder Emperor Shikou is old, and the Minister of the Household Department broke out in cold sweat when he heard that he was patrolling the south of the Yangtze River. He first recalled the national treasury of silver, and he didn't care about his face, so he ran to the emperor and knelt down in front of the emperor. Think twice, we... have no money."
The last three words were howled by him very loudly.
Of course the emperor knew whether there was money in the treasury. All officials in the household department cried poor every day. Don't believe what they said about how much money they had. They would not tell the truth to irrelevant people.
"I will postpone other things today, I will go to Xiyuan."
When the emperor arrived at the Taishanghuang's bedroom, the Taishanghuang had recovered and was lying on the bed moaning.
The Grand Concubine sat on the edge of the bed, and the Eastern Empress Dowager sat on a stool, two zhang away from the bed.
Regardless of these, the emperor greeted the Supreme Emperor as soon as he entered the palace, and asked him, "Who gave you such a bad idea, you old man can't travel long distances now, if you go to the south of the Yangtze River, the road will be bumpy...don't hate me It's ugly, I don't want to give you a funeral."
The Eastern Empress Dowager also said, "Although the emperor's words are not pleasant to listen to, every word and every word is for the sake of the emperor..."
"Shut up." The Supreme Emperor scolded.
The Empress Dowager shut her mouth in embarrassment.But he was a little unwilling, "Your Majesty, who came up with the idea of going to the south of the Yangtze River? Isn't it because of the lice on the bald man's head?"
When the noble concubine heard it, isn't this framing me?Just as they were about to open their mouths, the emperor interrupted them directly, "Your old man, you should think about it. Let's not talk about the waste of people and money on this journey. The place in the south of the Yangtze River is humid, hot and miasmic. It's better to raise people in the north."
"Even if I die, I will die in Jiangnan. The place in Jiangnan is good." After speaking, she patted the hand of Grand Concubine Gui, who nodded quickly.
The Empress Dowager's lungs were about to explode.
Regardless of the grievances between the three of them, the emperor directly denied it, "This journey is a waste of money and people. When the treasury has money, I will arrange for you to go to the south. If there is nothing else, I will go back to the palace first."
The emperor was anxious, "Come back... Do you think I want to go to the south of the Yangtze River by myself? I want to take the prince there so that he can see the great rivers and mountains."
The emperor laughed angrily, "I want him to see what it means to be in dire straits."
"In the Kyushu of the world, some places have fertile land and some places are barren, so the inequality of wealth among the people in the world is a matter of days. In some places, the people live and work in peace and contentment. In some places, the people are poor, and there are often troublemakers among the people. Go more. It's not a bad thing for him to see each other more.
I brought him there to benefit a lot, let him see the prosperity of Jiangnan, know the prosperity of Jiangnan's literary style, and also promote his reputation of being filial to his grandfather who patrolled the world.More importantly, let the officials and people in the south of the Yangtze River see our prince. This will have a great effect on stabilizing people's hearts. How can those few taels of silver be compared. "
The emperor also has his own obsessions, and it is his wish that the country last forever.
The current performance of the prince in the capital is only seen by the officials and people in the capital. If he goes out of the capital, he will not only see what the people are like, but also let the officials and people see a wise prince.
Just like when the Qin Dynasty was unified, how many people endured the tyranny of the first emperor and waited for the crown prince to help Su take the throne...
Seeing the emperor not speaking, the Supreme Emperor smiled triumphantly.
After weighing the pros and cons, the emperor said, "When my son goes back to see how much money is in the treasury, he can do whatever he wants. After the treasury has been counted, he will send someone to report back to the Supreme Emperor."
The Supreme Emperor nodded in satisfaction, "Go back and make arrangements as soon as possible."
The emperor came to the West Garden angrily, and returned to the palace thoughtfully.
Many civil and military ministers were still gathering outside the imperial study, and they didn't know if the emperor had persuaded the emperor to stop them, and these people didn't dare to ask.
Since the emperor decided to let Qilin leave the capital, he arranged all kinds of troops in advance to prevent someone from being assassinated.
Then, half of the people in the inner guard camp were sent out to the south of the Yangtze River, and the details of the people and horses from all sides were first found out and sent back to Beijing.
When he was returning to the harem, he was still thinking, "This year is not enough. If you want to go out for a walk, you have to wait until next year. After the spring of next year, you will go to Yangzhou first by water. It is said that the fireworks will go to Yangzhou in March. This arrangement That old thing sure satisfies.
Going ashore from Yangzhou, first let Qilin go around Yangzhou a few times. First, the queen once lived in Yangzhou, and second, there are salt merchants gathered in Yangzhou.For the salt and iron controlled by the imperial court, Qilin must go to the base camp of the salt merchants to have a thorough understanding of the salt merchants.
Heading all the way to Jinling, you will definitely be able to see the scenery of the south of the Yangtze River along the way. How much you can learn by then depends on this kid's luck. "
When I returned to Ganlu Hall, I saw a few brats around the queen.
Qilin took Bai Ze and Zou Wu to think of a baby name for their unborn little brother.
Bai Ze insisted on calling his unborn younger brother Zou Wu. As for the present Zou Wu, it would be very appropriate to name him Taotie.
He also pointed his finger on his younger brother's forehead, "You will know how to eat when you eat."
"It's delicious, why don't you eat it?"
"Do you dare to talk to me, do you know how to be a good brother? A good brother is what the elder brother says. Do you see me and the elder brother being stubborn?"
Zou Wu pouted. At this young age, he didn't have enough vocabulary to argue with his brother, so he could only snort heavily, dive into Linlin's arms, and point his back and butt towards Bai Ze .
Linlin sighed, put her hand on Zou Wu's forehead and rubbed it a few times.
Qilin, the oldest, always wants to share her mother's worries.
"Why does the queen mother sigh?"
Bai Ze interjected, "Zou Wu must be angry after provoking my mother."
Zou Wu quickly turned his head and roared loudly, "I don't talk nonsense without you."
Linlin said to Qilin, "See, it's these two little things that annoy me. If the mother-in-law is in front of me, I'll discuss with them about replacing these two little things with two princesses."
The two little ones stopped talking, and Bai Ze quickly climbed onto the couch, putting his head in Linlin's arms, "Don't want us, Queen Mother, we will be obedient."
Zou Wu followed suit, "I am obedient too."
Linlin was sad and funny at this time, "It's okay, it's okay, I have been born and raised so much, I even discussed it with the mother-in-law, but she didn't listen."
Qilin smiled on the side, "Don't worry, I will have a princess in the future, we will have a few more daughters and put them in front of you."
The two younger ones hurriedly followed the elder brother's example, "We also have daughters, and I will give you as many as I have."
"I am born too, and I am born too."
The emperor walked in and slapped each of the two little guys on the buttocks, "Come down, I don't know that your queen mother has a little sister in her belly, come down quickly."
I thought in my heart that at this time to please your mother and want to give birth to the princess, just wait, and I want to slap myself in the face when I think about it later.
He also told them about going to Jiangnan, "It will be next spring at the earliest, and it is enough to arrange the time in advance for half a year, but only our family knows about this matter, and no one is allowed to tell it. With gossip..."
The three sons looked at by the emperor sneered.
Qilin hurriedly stood in front of his younger brothers, "Father, it may not be our brother who spread the news, it may also be the Supreme Emperor."
The emperor originally wanted to scare his sons, but it didn't work.
He said, "You talk too much, take your brother to wash your hands."
The three boys, big and small, jumped out together.
The emperor sat down and looked at their backs with some emotion. "In a blink of an eye, we have been married for 10 years."
He didn't tell Linlin and he didn't notice it. After hearing this sentence, Linlin thought for a while.
"How many 10 years can we have in this life? After a few days, I will make a fan case for the emperor, and I will make another one after 10 years... I can only make small things like fan cases, and I will make it bigger. I can't do it either."
The emperor felt that it would be difficult for her to make a fan cover.
"You still have a small one in your belly, so why bother. Someone cut a handkerchief for you, and you can embroider a few stitches on it, which is what you like. Besides, the handkerchief can be used all the time, and the fan cover is only used in summer. Besides, fans are not auspicious things, and they are put away when it is cold, so it is better to carry a handkerchief with you all the time."
Linlin thought for a second that it really was the truth.
"Then I'll embroider one for you every year, and when I give birth to the one in my stomach, I'll make up for the previous few years. You can keep it at that time, and when we get older, we can take it out and enjoy it."
The emperor thought about it and thought it was a good proposal. "It's up to you."
After finishing speaking, she put her arms around Linlin's shoulders, feeling a little bit emotional, "This is like a dream. Looking back, think about how virtuous you were when you first married... No, it was very virtuous, and you are also virtuous now. Now more virtuous than before."
Linlin took her hand off the soft flesh on his waist.Dare to say that the old lady is not virtuous, can you find someone who can tolerate you more than the old lady?
Reminiscing about the past, the emperor began to think about the future, "When the time comes, our daughter will be born to look like you, and you will be beautiful. She will also have a temper like you, at least the son-in-law dare not show embarrassment to our daughter... In other words, You're all right from hair to heel."
Linlin burst out laughing, "What's wrong with the emperor today? Why did you mention this?"
"Sure enough, raising a daughter-in-law is different from marrying a daughter-in-law. To raise a daughter-in-law, I feel that if I marry someone else's family, I must be more powerful. If I want to marry a daughter-in-law, I think that my temper should be softer."
Linlin thought that probably because Princess Shouchun's marriage was finalized, he had a fatherly heart, so at this time, he felt a little more emotional.
Smiling, he stroked his beard with his hand, "Who trimmed the dragon's beard for the emperor? It looks mighty and extraordinary. When the time comes, I will send someone to reward this eunuch with more skillful hands."
The emperor was a little complacent, "If you have any reward, give it to me directly. I have always been mighty."
The husband and wife laughed at each other, and the three brothers over there had already washed their hands and rushed in.
Bai Ze complained, "Zou Wu doesn't want to wash his hands, he wants to fool the past."
Linlin didn't want to deal with these brats, even if they were her own.
The emperor was in the right mood, "You are an older brother and you have to set an example for your younger brother. If your younger brother doesn't listen, you have to persuade him."
After Bai Ze finished listening, it was as if he had obtained a Shangfang sword, "Did you hear that? What the emperor said, you will listen to me from now on."
Zou Wu made a face, "Don't listen, don't listen, don't listen."
Linlin thought that Bai Ze's current age was the most hated age, and he could make cats and dogs disgust him anywhere.Zou Wu was too young to understand anything he said.
It's not that he hasn't told Bai Ze about the truth, nor has he disciplined him. He also knows that he can't contradict his brother, so he only wants to play prestige in front of his brother.
But Zou Wu is a disobedient person, and he usually doesn't listen to Bai Ze's words. Every time the two of them get together, it's either you sue me or I sue you.
Linlin discussed with the emperor, "Can I take Bai Ze away next year? I'm going to have a baby in April and May of next year, and I don't have the energy to take care of them. When these two little brothers are together, touch me and I will give birth." Slap you across the face, endlessly."
"Don't worry, when the time comes, I will personally discipline the two of them, and you can just sit in confinement with peace of mind."
Having raised three brats, the couple sincerely hoped to give birth to a princess.
Every time Linlin was pregnant, the Lin family sent double copies of baby supplies to the palace.
First of all, the meaning is better, and good things come in pairs.
The second is to give a man and a woman different supplies, whether it is a boy or a girl, it can be used.
It was the same this time, Jia Min brought these things to the palace.
First, he looked at Linlin's face, and felt that Linlin's face was rosy, so he felt relieved.
"Your Majesty has also given birth to three princes, and you are already familiar with the family. I don't need to talk to your Majesty about things like having children. If your Majesty wants to eat anything, just order it down."
Linlin thought for a while, "There is really one thing I want to eat. I want to eat carrots in sauce, and I also want to eat that spicy sauce."
When Jia Min heard this, the first thing that came to mind was Sour Girl. "Maybe my mother's birth is a princess."
"I remember when I was pregnant with Qilin, I also wanted to eat spicy food. I was born as a kid. Don't say that, it's not allowed."
Jia Min smiled, "This is my mother's good fortune, not to mention being in the royal family, even ordinary people, who can give birth to three boys in one breath can still be strong in the in-law's house.
This baby still needs to be well maintained, whether it is pickled radish or hot sauce, they are all served with rice, so they should not be eaten too much.At first I wondered if we had these things in our house, but now that we don’t have them in our house, maybe there are in the palace, the Empress sent someone to look for them in the imperial dining room, you may not be able to find pickled radishes, but you can still find hot sauce owned. "
"Indeed, I found it. Watermelon and soybean paste. It tasted delicious the first time I ate it, but the second time I ate it, I found it very unpalatable." Speaking of this, he remembered that Lin Hao's daughter-in-law was also pregnant, "Don't talk about me, How is the elder sister-in-law?"
"I wanted to eat mutton for a while, but after a few meals, I got a little angry, and I didn't dare to let her eat more.
Speaking of this, I was a little worried, "I heard from the maids that she was a little homesick. Although your brother sent a letter to Sichuan, but the mountains are high and the road is far away, the in-laws may not come."
Traveling long distances these days is like losing half your life, not to mention that the road to Shu is difficult and it is difficult to go to the blue sky.
This topic was a bit unhappy, so Linlin asked her, "Is there anything else going on at home?"
Jia Min's expression became rich in an instant. At first, his eyebrows and eyes frowned, and then he pretended to be nonchalant, "What's the matter? Master is still the same as before. In a few days, your eldest brother will enter the Imperial Academy." .By the way, your little brother told me that he likes to eat the food of the Eastern Palace... I had the cheek to ask my mother for some recipes, and asked the kitchen staff to make them for him, so as not to make people laugh at me every time I go to the Eastern Palace for dinner. "
Linlin waved her hand nonchalantly, "Qilin doesn't eat much, just looking at my little brother and eating half a bowl of rice, besides, when my brother comes to our house, why not be polite to me, just eat enough."
Saying so, I still asked Bai Niu to find some recipes, and the words changed, "You are my mother, I can hear if there is anything, please tell me, is there something at home that is hidden from me?" ?”
Jia Min thought for a while, "It's okay to let your mother know about it. Bei Wang asked someone to come to our house and said that he wanted to marry your sister. Neither the master nor I are willing. The master told me, although Bei Jing Wang is young and dignified, but our family does not expect to have any relationship by marrying our daughter, and we want to find a wealthy family for your sister, so that we can live a down-to-earth life."
Linlin usually has the most contact with the clan, and the family members with different surnames Wang do not have much contact with them.
"Since the master and you are unwilling, then this matter is over. Although my sister is still a little young in my opinion, but the world's eyes are like this, I think she should find someone else, you and my father must be careful .”
"I gave birth to you guys without my mother's orders. She is my youngest child, so she is naturally very caring. Don't worry about family affairs, mother, just take care of yourself and your highnesses."
After Jia Min left, Linlin asked people to pick out the baby girl's products that the Lin family had sent over the years, washing and drying them, and preparing them for next year.
After putting away all the things that had been dried that night, Linlin looked at a pair of exquisitely embroidered shoes, and asked someone to pick out a pair of jackets and skirts that matched the shoes and put them together, thinking about asking them to make some other matching ones. , when she has a daughter to use these for her.
The emperor came back at this time, and when he saw the little clothes and shoes used by these girls, he clapped his hands and laughed, "I feel good just looking at these, I don't know if it's because I'm looking forward to my daughter, why do I think the clothes worn by girls are more beautiful than those of our sons?" Smaller and more refined."
Linlin ordered the things to be put away, and the couple sat together and talked, "Girls' clothes are more fancy than boys'. When I was young, my sister's clothes took more effort than my brother's. "
The emperor just asked casually, "Why do I remember that your sister is about the same age as our Shouchun, is your sister talking about her now?"
"Smaller than Shouchun," Linlin asked the emperor vigilantly, "Why do you ask this?"
"I just remembered this, and I asked casually, didn't you say to give her the imperial decree before? If someone gets married, say it in advance, and it will be more honorable for me to grant the marriage."
Linlin felt relieved when she saw that he didn't think about the old moon, "My mother came today, but she said something related to my sister."
"What is it?"
"Bei Wang wanted to marry my younger sister, but my parents felt it was inappropriate, so they politely refused."
The emperor squinted his eyes and thought for a while, "That's not a good match. Father-in-law has good eyesight, and the proof that he promised you to marry me back then."
Linlin sighed and didn't want to talk to him, "I don't know where my sister will be in the future?"
"Why do you want to do this? There are many people who want to establish a relationship with your family. Don't worry, there are many good men in the world. There will always be one for your family to choose."
"I have said before that if you want to marry my sister, you must be a couple with my sister for the rest of your life."
The emperor still hit Linlin directly like last time, "Dream."
After finishing speaking, she quickly told Linlin anxiously, "Don't meddle in your sister's affairs. When the flowering period is over and there is no husband's family, be careful that your mother's family will blame you."
Although the words were not pleasant, she also thought of herself, so Linlin gave him a good look, but she thought in her heart that she was already unlucky enough, facing her husband's huge group of concubines every day, she would never let her sister accompany her bad luck.
This idea is just at ease, thinking of finding an opportunity to implement it, as long as my sister is happy.
Silently paid attention.
On the second day, as soon as the emperor came down from the court, the ministers of civil and military affairs had not left, and the emperor received a letter from outside the palace, saying that Jia Lian had begged to Cui's mansion in a hurry.
The emperor still had some other things to deal with at the moment, and he couldn't leave for a while, so he asked Jia Lian to tell him to wait, he had something to do now, and he would go later.
After finishing the important matters, it was already afternoon, and the inner guard sent a message saying that there was a demon rampant in the capital recently, and asked for a secret arrest.
General Xiao Guo looked at the emperor seriously. The emperor lowered his head and read the paperwork again because of his usual rigor.
"...In just half a day's work, you figured it out based on the affairs of Jia Lian's family, by following the clues?"
"It's a bit unbelievable, but I can guarantee with my head that this is true. Some people just rely on a few pieces of paper to open an altar outside to seek wealth and death."
The emperor thought for a while, then squinted his eyes, "The country is about to perish and evildoers are rampant. Is this a warning from heaven?"
General Xiao Guo quickly knelt down, "Your Majesty, don't think so. These people are wild gods. There have been such legends in all dynasties. How can these young people be tied to the luck of the country?"
The emperor also didn't want to believe this kind of thing, "You bring more people, and when you go, take some of the urine of any black dog blood boy, and torture them severely after you catch them, so that no one will be left alive."
General Xiao Guo promised to go out, and the emperor quickly stopped him, "Remember to do this quietly, so as not to disturb the common people. Once such news leaks out, it will easily lead to chaos."
General Xiao Guo took the order with fists in his arms and left. The emperor thought about it, and quickly changed his clothes to meet Jia Lian.
Jia Lian went back and forth to various temples and Taoist temples in the capital several times today.
When the two met, Jia Lian turned himself into a dusty look.
The emperor wanted to be polite, Jia Lian rushed to him, "I just came to ask Brother Cui, is there any better talisman water in this capital, two people in our family have been bewitched?"
The emperor also pretended not to know and asked him, "How could it be? Who is it?"
"It was my cousin Baoyu and my mother-in-law. They had a quarrel in the garden today. I heard that they almost went to the kitchen to kill someone with a knife. Now I am unconscious with my teeth clenched. Taoist temple, the Taoist priests there are helpless, what should we do?"
The emperor thought for a while, "I think you are really in a hurry, you didn't think about it carefully, you shouldn't go to find some talisman for this matter, you should go to the doctor, maybe they ate something that shouldn't be eaten today Things, I heard that there is a kind of long and gorgeous mushroom people are prone to hallucinations, maybe it is because of eating such things that they have such difficulties."
"I also looked for the doctor, but it was useless. They couldn't even tell the reason for the coma."
The emperor insisted that he had eaten something that shouldn't be eaten, and actively recommended a famous doctor.
Jia Lian was skeptical, and really went to the doctor.
After a while, General Xiao Guo came back, "We investigated those people who came into contact with the Rongguo Mansion. There is a Daoist woman surnamed Ma who is indeed behind the scenes and has taken him down...Your Majesty, this person does know some magic."
"I just want to ask you, will the evildoer be captured as soon as the army arrives?"
"Although there was resistance, it was still defeated by the official army."
The emperor was relieved, as long as she was not flying to the ground, "interrogate her strictly to see if there are any other accomplices. At the same time, she will also dig three feet into the ground to dig out her teacher. After digging out, you don't have to be polite. To cull them all, we must cut the weeds and eradicate the roots, and we must not leave any scourge."
General Xiao Guo agreed and left.
The emperor thought that Jia Lian's family's affairs should improve as the behind-the-scenes mastermind failed.
Actually it is not.
This situation lasted for several days. Although others did not know about it, everyone in the Jia family was talking about it.
It's not that the family didn't work hard, no matter what method they tried, neither Wang Xifeng nor Jia Baoyu woke up.
General Xiao Guo's interrogation has come to fruition.
Ma Daopo was originally a wild person, so she explained why she harmed the two members of Jia's family.
The dossier reads:
Ma Daopo went to Rongguo Mansion several times and gained a lot of money, but the last time she went, she didn't get much silver taels.He lobbied Mrs. Wang to accumulate blessings to protect her mother, but Mrs. Wang did not agree at that time.
So he went to various houses and courtyards in an attempt to get some money, and met Jia Zheng's concubine, Mrs. Zhao, who conspired with Ma Daopo to ask Ma Daopo to kill Jia Lian and Jia Baoyu's brother, hoping that his son Jia Huan would inherit the property of Rongfu.And handed the horoscopes of the two people's birthdays and 500 taels of silver notes to Ma Daopo, and Ma Daopo gave Zhao a few paper figurines, and the two received both money and goods.
Ma Daopo opened the altar after returning home, but she did not expect it to be successful.
General Xiao Guo explained the reason to the emperor, "This Ma Daopo minister has been investigated by his subordinates. Although he has been in and out of big families, he doesn't have any great magic skills. The methods used to bluff people are common tricks used by peddlers. These The tricks can scare people, so I thought she had some spells at the beginning.
But after being tortured, she was found to be an ordinary woman... As for why the two people in the Rongguo Mansion were not awake at this time, Ma Daopo couldn't explain clearly, and the minister also sent someone pretending to be a doctor to visit their house, and felt a little baffled. The two patients did not eat or drink. Although they were slowly becoming weaker, they were much better than the other patients.I think it must be some kind of strange disease..."
"If you think about it, you should, if these words can't come out of your mouth."
General Xiao Guo bowed his head obediently. "The minister will investigate again."
The emperor nodded, "Go, this matter should be resolved as soon as possible, so as not to delay people's going to Jiangnan. The matter of the prince going to Jiangnan is much more important than this, and we can't lose the big because of small things."
General Xiao Guo held his fists and took the order away. The emperor thought about it for a while in the imperial study, and he finally breathed a sigh of relief, as long as he wasn't a monster.
The country is about to perish and monsters will be born, this is like a curse.How many dynasties, along with the stories of disasters and beauties, the most famous one is that Su Daji messed up the Yin and Shang dynasties.
Thinking about my own harem again, from the queen down, there is no one who is beautiful, and no one is too ordinary.
"There are no evildoers, my country will last forever, my prince is wise, and my Cui family's country will last forever."
The emperor repeated this sentence to himself, and after he finished speaking, he was still a little worried, so he sent someone to invite Jia Lian out.
"How is the doctor who recommended you last time? Has the disease been cured?"
Jia Lian shook his head sadly, "Maybe Mrs. Wang will abandon me and Qiaoer."
Jia Lian's daughter finally had a name called Qiao'er, which was said to have been given by Grandma Liu.
This made the emperor feel that the world is really small.
The emperor put his hand on Jia Lian's shoulder and patted twice, "Don't think too much, this doctor is not good, there are other doctors."
Jia Lian just shook his head blindly, "Our family's Baoyu may have some origins. He was born with a jade in his mouth... It is said that he has a great future. Now he suddenly went crazy and fainted, and he still hasn't woken up. Come here, my wife... I'm afraid she was implicated by him.
It's not easy for me to say this, but I don't feel like it. Our master has already sent someone to make a coffin, and he will let them be buried after the two of them die. "
The emperor wanted to get some ghostly things from Jia Lian, so he asked him, "Think about it again, did any supernatural things happen to your cousin from childhood to adulthood? If so, how did they save him at that time? Maybe we can save his life at this time... If it's true that doctors can't save people, we can only go another way."
"A miracle?"
"That's right, for example, when he was on the verge of death, he suddenly came back to life, for example, he was woken up suddenly after not doing his job properly every day, and for example... those inconceivable things, could they happen to him?"
Jia Lian tried to think back, and found that Jia Baoyu didn't seem to have done anything worth mentioning except that he liked to play around with girls. "
At this time, I suddenly had some opinions on the things that the old lady insisted on in the past. When Baoyu was young, Baoyu had no special performance. How did the old lady see that he would have great promise in the future? ?
Jia Lian told the story, "Except for the fact that my cousin was born with a piece of jade in his mouth, there is nothing miraculous about him for so many years."
The emperor asked again and again, "Are you sure?"
"I'm sure, have I been away from home for too long? What did Baoyu do? As a cousin, I still know. It's not like what you said."
The emperor was still somewhat unsure, "What about that piece of jade? That piece of jade was really taken out of his mouth, wasn't it a way for those women in the backyard to fight for favor?"
Jia Lian was a little puzzled, "What do you mean by that?"
The emperor moved the teacup in front of him, and sat closer, "Did your daughter be packed and carried to you when she was born?"
Jia Lian shook his head.
The emperor patted the table, "No wonder you believe this. Let me tell you, each of the three boys in our family was taken out of the delivery room and shown to me when they were born. Take our second boy and say that he is his The fattest one among the brothers, after being hugged, his little face was not as big as my slap, let alone his mouth. Let me ask you, how big is your cousin's piece of jade? A small baby's mouth can Can a piece of jade be stuffed? After stuffing it, will he be swallowed when he cries?"
"You say it's fake?"
"I'm not sure if it's fake. I think it's probably fake. Anyway, the five boys in our family are all over three years old now, and the hard things are made into small pieces before letting him eat them." Go down, a little bigger, when he eats, there will be people watching, afraid of choking."
Jia Lian's mind was quite confused, and he wanted to go back and ask, but he didn't know where to start.
"If you want me to say this, it's useless to pray to gods and Buddhas. I still have to go to the doctor."
The emperor just gave him a sentence, "Think about it carefully."
Not to mention that after Jia Lian went back, she pulled Ping'er out to ask her how much Qiao'er was when she was born, and if she could put a piece of jade in her mouth.Let's just say that a few days later, something happened that made the emperor and General Xiaoguo restless.
Rongguo Mansion Jia Baoyu and Wang Xifeng woke up.
A monk came together, didn't bring any talisman water, just chanted it with Jia Baoyu's jade.
People wake up.
How many people who were not woken up after seeing a doctor and injecting medicine, just chanted it once and woke up.
General Xiao Guo set up a net to arrest this life together.
He led people around the city, and lost these two people in an alley.
The people from the inner guard camp dug three feet around the alley without resting day and night, and it was as if the two men had disappeared, never to be found again.
General Xiao Guo came to see the emperor with dark circles under his eyes, "I'm dead!"
