The Red Mansions

Chapter 88 Chongping Emperor: What about next?
In Kunning Palace——

Palace candles are glowing, as bright as day.

Following Emperor Chongping's comment, Empress Song showed surprise on her snow-white and beautiful face, and said, "Your Majesty, do you think highly of this Jia Heng? Guess he is a young boy, how much can he have?" experience?"

In fact, Emperor Chongping's interpretation of the term "Linjiang Immortal" fits the state of mind of the original author Yang Shen in the time and space where Jia Heng is.

He was the son of Yang Tinghe, a veteran of the three dynasties, and was exiled to Yunnan by Emperor Jiajing because of a dispute over etiquette.

At the age of 36, he was born as the number one scholar in the cabinet, and his political life has since come to an end. When the book is written, although it is generous and forceful, and sees through the world, it is not without resentment towards Emperor Jiajing.

And this kind of resentment, such as Han Hui, Yu Zhen and others, cannot be interpreted anyway, because the experience of the lyricist Jia Heng cannot arouse such associations.

Only Emperor Chongping, who was an emperor and good at manipulating power, was keenly aware of it almost immediately.

But considering Jia Heng's age and status, this suspicion of resentment and hope was dispelled in an instant, and he felt that this son, joking about the past and the present, was either a madman or a national scholar.

Emperor Chongping smiled lightly and said, "Zitong, I'm a little curious about the so-called Three Kingdoms manuscript."

Empress Song showed a smile on her dignified and beautiful face, and said: "Your Majesty, the manuscript is in the hands of Jin Yang's younger sister. When Jin Yang's younger sister comes, Your Majesty can ask."

Emperor Chongping nodded, his majestic and indifferent face also showed some relief.

Although he doesn't like some thick and colorful prose, he thinks it's the obscene activities of scholars who don't do their job properly and don't follow the way of sages, but this kind of historical rhetoric is another matter.

Literature, history and political theory have always been closely integrated.

Dai Quan glanced at Emperor Chongping's face, and seeing Long Yan slightly pleased, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

At this moment, the eunuch who had just gone to Changle Palace to inquire about news, went back and forth, and after seeing the ceremony, he said: "Your Majesty, the Empress Dowager originally wanted to respond to the invitation of Mrs. Rong Guo Tai, and His Royal Highness the Eldest Princess spoke from it. Mrs. Guotai has already left the palace."

A look of joy appeared on Emperor Chongping's face, and he said softly: "Jinyang is there, no wonder, the empress dotes on Jinyang the most."

His mother didn't know about it, and if he promised the Jia Shi family, the country would rule the world with filial piety, and once his mother's empress opened his mouth, there would be less room for him to move around.

Although it is known that as long as the Supreme Emperor is alive, the Jia family cannot be completely wiped out, but the grace of Jia Zhen losing the title and the title of the title cannot be lightly granted.

It is necessary to let the Jia family or the four kings and eight princes behind it pay some price and make concessions in the personnel adjustment and rectification of the Beijing camp.

Otherwise, he would have wasted the good opportunity created by Xu Deqing despite the slander of cruel officials.

"You go to Changle Palace and ask Jinyang to come to Kunning Palace later, I have something to say to her." Emperor Chongping calmed down, ordered the eunuch, and said with a smile.

The inner eunuch was named Xia Shouzhong, who was the most capable person next to the empress, and the official was the eunuch of the Six Palaces. He was about forty years old, with fair skin, thin eyebrows and long face. Said, Your Highness will come here immediately."

Emperor Chongping nodded.

Empress Song looked at Emperor Chongping with a happy face, and pursed her pink lips, a faint haze cast over Fang's heart.

It's not a good thing for her sister-in-law to have more influence on His Majesty, but there is nothing she can do about it.

The Empress Dowager didn't like her and her younger sister, Concubine Duanrong, who treated her with a cold face every morning and evening, but Jinyang was in the middle of the two palaces.

Today's eldest princess of the Han Dynasty seems to have the shadow of the eldest princess of Liu Han in the historical records.

"If Ran'er and Wei'er are allowed to marry Chanyue's child... just don't say that there is a hindrance in etiquette, even Jinyang would not agree..." Empress Song frowned slightly, her eyes lost for a moment.

In the early years, it wasn't that she hadn't thought about making the two relatives marry each other, but she heard what the prince Zhan Shi said in the palace and Ran'er's lecture: "If you marry with the same surname, you will not be born in the same family. If you marry close relatives, you will be born unwise. It will be a serious disaster within three generations."

It is said that the first half of the sentence is said by the ancients, and the second half of the sentence is a long-term discovery of a medical officer, summed up from experience.

Close relatives marry and give birth to more foolish children.

Of course, she didn't really believe it.

I wanted to make a baby marriage in advance, and I also hinted at Princess Jinyang secretly, but Princess Jinyang has a temperament like a mother, and has her own opinions. Seeing Tian'er guarding an orphan girl, what does the baby look like, plus He Ran Er and Weier are a few years apart in age, and they have more and more excuses to decline.

When the children grow up a bit, the two sons are also elm-headed, and they only regard Chanyue as a yellow-haired girl.

The last time she saw that child Chanyue, she was already very slim.

Empress Song had two sons under her knees, Wei Wang Chen Ran and Liang Wang Chen Wei. According to the rules of succession, the heirs would never be listed among the Wei and Liang kings.

But the embarrassing thing is that Emperor Chongping happened to be a concubine, and he came to the throne by stepping on several brothers and Prince Li. The succession slogan he used at the beginning was that the prince is not good, how can the concubines hinder the continuation of the clan?
After Emperor Chongping succeeded to the throne, he learned the cruel lessons of the previous events and did not establish the foundation of the country early. In the eyes of Empress Song, it gave some people "unreasonable thoughts".

It is worth mentioning that the Empress Dowager Feng, the concubine of the Emperor Chongping, was also honored as the Empress Dowager after she inherited the great rule.

Empress Dowager Feng has a strong temperament, so when she was young, she was not favored by the Supreme Emperor, but it was precisely because of her mother that she created Emperor Chongping's strong, decisive, cold and mean emperor's temperament.

"Your Majesty, His Highness Jinyang is here." At this moment, the inner eunuch came from outside the hall and said with a bow.

Emperor Chongping smiled and said, "Let her in quickly."

Not long after, Princess Han and Princess Jinyang brought their daughter Li Chanyue into Kunning Palace and bowed to greet them.

Empress Song showed a bright smile on her beautiful face, and said: "Your brother was still talking about you just now, you should go to Daming Palace to meet your brother when you enter the palace, talk and relieve boredom. "

Princess Yanye of Jinyang, with a faint smile on her gorgeous face, a little alienation in the depths of her clear eyes, said: "The emperor is busy with state affairs, and my sister is not easy to bother, just now The queen mother was talking with her, and she was about to come over to pay her respects to the emperor's sister-in-law, and it happened that the emperor's brother had dinner here, it was a coincidence."

Her sister-in-law is cunning but cunning, even her younger sister was sent to the palace more than ten years ago for the sake of solid favor, and she wanted to play tricks on her daughter a few years ago.

When Empress Song heard what Princess Jinyang said, her eyebrows curved and her lips were pursed into a smile.

The master's move was silent and there was no smell of fireworks.

This is very beautiful, but the two of them are tacit.

In the distance, under the curtain and beams and pillars, in a dimly lit place, among the several maids standing with their hands down, a girl in a pink palace skirt seemed to be a little sore. A white and plump face as bright as the moon.

And in the crystal clear and moist bright eyes, it seems to reflect the shadows of several nobles who are full of gold, jade, pearls and emerald, in gorgeous palace attire, under the glowing candlelight of the palace lanterns in the distance.

Laughter and laughter, honey and swords.

The light in Yuan Chun's eyes flickered, a cluster of curved eyelashes cast shadows, and he sighed faintly in his heart.

"Um……"

At this moment, the maid at the side tugged at Yuan Chun's dress, and was startled. Out of the corner of her eye, she saw the nun at the side casting her eyes on people. Yuan Chun quickly lowered her head and took the White and greasy as snow, her plump and beautiful face was lowered, shrouded in shadows.

One far and one near, one light and one dark.

The left and right are "places where people should not be seen".

On this side, Emperor Chongping asked about the manuscripts of the Three Kingdoms, and said: "Jinyang, Jia Heng's manuscripts of the Three Kingdoms are in your Hanmozhai edition, do you have the original manuscripts?"

"How does the emperor know about this?" Princess Jinyang said in surprise.

Emperor Chongping smiled lightly, and did not answer the question, but said, "Do you have the manuscript with you?"

Princess Jinyang smiled and said: "Brother Emperor, my sister let Xia Houying take it. It was originally in the carriage, better than on the road, for appreciation."

As he said that, he called Xia Houying, took the wooden box from her, and took out the manuscript that had been bound according to the title.

"This is the transcribed manuscript, only the first six chapters, and the original manuscript is still in the hands of Jia Heng." Princess Jinyang took out the manuscript and handed it over.

Empress Song smiled and said: "Your Majesty, the dinner is not finished yet, you might as well wait until the dinner is finished. Your Majesty might as well use this bowl of white fungus and lotus seed soup first. The concubine has tasted it just now, and the temperature is suitable."

Emperor Chongping smiled lightly, and said, "I'll see how it was written in the first chapter."

The word "Linjiang Immortal" just now aroused his thoughts.

The history of the Three Kingdoms, when he was in the hidden mansion, it was not that he hadn't heard the lecturer in the Hongwen Museum talk about it. The disputes between the three families, and the competition for the top, because of this, China is in disarray. How many new things can there be to talk about?

He reached out to take the manuscript, and after looking at it, it was... that he forgot to eat.

"The general trend of the world, if it is divided for a long time, it will be united, and if it is united for a long time, it will be divided..."

Just a few sentences at the beginning, there is a vigor and grandeur of swallowing mountains and rivers.

Emperor Chongping read books extremely fast, even if it was half-written text, he would not be hindered in the slightest. This is a conditioned reflex developed in the face of official documents after reviewing official documents for a long time-the speed of extracting text information is very fast, no less than A certain old bookworm of the decade who "work hard for two hours and brush for two minutes" in later generations.

"Cao Cao, you are really a capable minister in order to rule the world, and a traitor in troubled times." Seeing the Jiaozhao, Emperor Chongping looked dignified and murmured, with doubts and aggressive eyes, and then quickly scrolled down.

It has to be said that the description of Cao Cao in "Three Kingdoms" is only a historical image, while in the romance script, a lot of literary processing has been added.

For example, Sanying fought against Lu Bu, Meng De offered a knife...even the unwritten green plum wine, many of these familiar allusions are created and processed by novelists, and they are full of drama.

Emperor Chongping lit the lamp and read the six chapters in one breath. He didn't realize that the night was getting dark, but when it was Xu time, he continued to read down and saw: "If you want to know what will happen next, let's listen to the breakdown..."

Then, what next?

Um, gone?

How could it be gone?

Emperor Chongping suddenly raised his head and looked at Princess Jinyang with shining eyes.
