Detective in the Red Chamber

perhaps……

Should we think about it from another angle?

After messing around on the autopsy book and obliterating many meaningless symbols, Sun Shaozong suddenly became serious again and wrote the word 'Da Zhou' on it.

The current Great Zhou Dynasty is undoubtedly in an eventful period.

The Japanese Rebellion in the southeast has not yet been settled, and the war in the southwest is about to start. The imperial court may not be able to deal with the rising Liaodong Jurchens for a while.

If at this time, North Korea and the Jurchen formally have sex again, it will be even worse.

If he were the emperor, he would definitely try his best to avoid this from happening.

At this time, Li Enxian suddenly jumped out to report...

Maybe he died because of the word 'suddenly'!

Li Enxian's actions, whether it was out of the consciousness of the leading party or because he wanted to use Da Zhou's hand to deal with domestic political opponents, all pushed Da Zhou into a corner and had to face the possibility of North Korea's imminent betrayal.

But how can the court respond now?

Putting on the majesty of the heavenly kingdom, sending envoys to denounce North Korea?

If you really do this, I am afraid that the Liaodong Jurchen will be the happiest.

Indifferent?

Not all the North Korean missions are blind or deaf, so they must have noticed the risk of exposure from Li Enxian's disappearance.

At that time, Da Zhou's attitude of pretending to be deaf and dumb may only fuel the ambitions of North Korea and Liaodong Jurchen.

So Lee Eun Hyun can only be 'died before leaving school'!

In this way, the imperial court naturally does not need to face the problem of choosing between the two.

Even if Lee Eun-hyun's death will still arouse suspicion from the North Korean side, it will only be the North Korean side that will face difficulties in choosing.

And if nothing unexpected, the imperial court should also seize the opportunity and arrange corresponding strategies as soon as possible.

Hey~

Perhaps this is the tragedy of the leading party.

Once there is a conflict between the two countries, they will face the pressure of the radical "Tianzhu Country Thieves" internally; and Papa Country may not really appreciate you, but may become an abandoned child in a matter of minutes.

Sun Shaozong sighed, lit the autopsy book with a torch, and threw it into the charcoal basin beside him, then stepped forward to pick up the white sheet, and covered Li Enxian's stiff face again.

Chapter 871

[I started working on 'fl' on the [-]st of this month, and I was really exhausted. Fortunately, it will finally be finished tonight, and I will try to resume two more tomorrow. 】

The days are changing, and it's time for a routine rest.

This morning, Sun Shaozong, holding his daughter in his arms, followed the interested Xiangling, and was inspecting two small courtyards that were about to be redecorated.

Women always seem to have an unreasonable interest in things like home design, especially a young woman like Xiang Ling.

From the day of the second day of junior high school, after the interior decoration design of these two small courtyards was handed over to her, Xiangling's petite body radiated amazing vitality.

I don’t know how much I spent on the sketches of the stream of consciousness in the past few days, and I also asked someone to buy professional books such as "The Wooden Sutra" and "Building French Styles", as if I wanted to study it in depth.

It was Sun Shaozong who reminded her euphemistically that he would have Naping'er to enter the door by the end of the year at the latest, and even if Xing Xiuyan was later, it would not exceed the beginning of next spring.

Besides, I just want to redecorate, not tear down and rebuild, just refer to some internal styles, there is no need to study civil engineering systematically.

Only then did Xiangling adjust the plan, planning to imitate the layout of the Grand View Garden in Rongguo Mansion and adapt measures to local conditions-of course, in terms of luxury, it must not be compared with the Grand View Garden.

It's not that the Sun family can't afford the money, because the confiscation in Wuxi prefecture is quite rich, and the surplus money in the account of the Sun family is probably more generous than the sum of Rongning and Ningfu.

But as the saying goes, "Don't worry about the few, but the unevenness." These two courtyards are too extravagant, but where do you put Ruan Rong, Ping'er, and the second sister You?

However, Xiangling might not be able to understand this truth.

It just so happened that Sun Shaozong was free today, so he accompanied her over for a field trip, and by the way, he also decided on a major policy for her: it doesn't matter how much money is spent, but at least on the surface, it should not exceed the original courtyard by too much.

With Xiangling's easy-going temperament, she naturally wouldn't care about these things.

After carefully writing down Sun Shaozong's instructions, she was full of enthusiasm again, carrying carbon strips and pamphlets, gesticulating and scribbling in the room.

Sun Shaozong was really not interested in such things as decoration, so he simply took his daughter to play nearby.

however……

The little girl seems to be more willing to play with the nanny, but she dislikes her own father in various ways.

In the end, Sun Shaozong could only retreat to the side resentfully, thinking helplessly: Could it be that she kept waking her up with a beard recently, and was hated by this girl?

Touching the beard under his chin, Sun Shaozong was thinking about whether he should express his father's love in another way in the future, when a woman hurried over and presented the latest issue of the mansion newspaper.

This was explained by Sun Shaozong a long time ago.

Because it has been five days since the memorial of "Puting the Law to the Countryside" was presented on the second day of October, but the cabinet and the emperor have never responded.

This is actually a common thing. After all, the more important the decision is, the longer it takes to prove it.

But after all, it was a matter of personal concern, and with Li Wenshan's urging questions like ants in hot pot every day, Sun Shaozong couldn't help being a little restless.

Later, I heard people say that before the official discussion of such policies, they might be blown up in the mansion newspaper. Check it out for yourself.

only……

He searched over and over in the mansion newspaper for a long time, but he couldn't find any news about "Puting the Law to the Countryside".

On the contrary, it was the letter to the state of North Korea the day before yesterday, and the full text was published in this residence newspaper.

However, Sun Shaozong's speculation at the beginning may have some discrepancies in details, but part of it quickly became a fact.

On the fourth day of October, after repeated thorough investigations, the imperial court determined that Li Enxian's death was caused by poor internal management of the Korean Mission and had nothing to do with Dazhou.

But after all, he died in the territory of Dazhou, and our Celestial Dynasty has always been a state of etiquette.

Therefore, as proposed by the cabinet, the imperial court responded to Li Enxian's request before his death, and planned to send a teacher to the north next year to clear the land "barrier" to North Korea.

Naturally, it will be unavoidable at that time, and it is necessary to urge the North Korean country to raise troops to respond to the king's division.

For this response, Sun Shaozong was quite puzzled at the beginning. After all, given the current situation of the imperial court, if he wanted to mobilize soldiers, horses, food and salaries to completely wipe out Liaodong Jurchen within two years, it would be beyond his power.

If it is just to deter North Korea, it is so hasty to attack, isn't it afraid that the whole northern Xinjiang will be corrupted because of a small loss?

However, after he carefully read the full text of this publication, he found that it was all about "plowing the road", and there was no mention of Jurchen in Liaodong at all, so he suddenly realized it.

It turns out that there is such a showy operation!

Although the imperial court does not have the ability to wipe out the Liaodong Jurchen in one fell swoop, it is not difficult to send a team of officers and soldiers to 'open up' the road to North Korea.

Especially now that the Japanese invasion in the southeast is coming to an end, at that time, it is possible to mobilize a suitable amount of elite soldiers and horses to march towards North Korea along the Bohai Bay, and then transfer a fleet from Wang Ziteng to the north to be responsible for the supply of food and grass along the way.

In short, there is still a lot of room for manipulation.

How to deal with it depends on the attitude of the big bosses in the DPRK and China, as well as the changes in the situation in Liaodong and North Korea.

But he said that after studying this letter of credence several times, Sun Shaozong wanted to see if there was any other news, but he never thought that someone would come to report again, saying that the prince sent someone to ask for an interview.

Sun Shaozong's heart trembled, while wondering whether the prince had encountered any difficulties recently, he hurriedly greeted Xiangling, and hurriedly greeted him to the front hall.

As a result, after careful questioning, he found out that the prince was planning to go to Wangjiang Tower for entertainment tonight, and specially invited Sun Shaozong to accompany him.

Although he knew for a long time that the "famous actors" of Liyuan these days are not much worse than the popular niche students of later generations, Sun Shaozong obviously underestimated Jiang Yuhan's influence.

From the beginning of the beginning of the month, the Wangjiang Tower is full of people, whether they are princes, nobles or wealthy businessmen, they are all flocking to it.

Not to mention maintaining this momentum, as long as the current half of the income can be maintained in the future, the annual profit can catch up with the Sun family and Wang Xifeng's official business!

Less gossip.

Hearing that the crown prince was going to Wangjiang Tower, Sun Shaozong hurriedly asked: "I wonder if I should come forward and secure the Wangjiang Tower in advance, so as to prevent someone from bumping into His Highness unintentionally?"

"It doesn't have to be."

In front of Sun Shaozong, the prince's slave put his posture extremely low, bowed his body and smiled apologetically: "The prince's intention is to have fun with the people—but the empress and the prince will also be present, and the adults will need to take care of you at that time." .”

The Crown Princess and the Crown Prince also want to go to Wangjiang Tower?

This is a bit interesting. It seems that the prince is not simply interested in Wangjiang Tower, but is planning to follow his previous suggestions and take the opportunity to enhance the sense of existence of the 'shizi'.

"Besides that, is there anything else that needs my attention?"

"It should be nothing else—oh, that's right! Uncle Guo and Beijing Jingwang and his wife are also invited."

Chapter 872

[The first episode, I have a cold and dizziness, and it is estimated that I will not be able to catch up with the third episode until three o'clock in the middle of the night. I will watch it tomorrow if I don't stay up late. 】

"Mother, mother!"

Hearing the shouts outside the door from far to near, the princess hurriedly put down the embroidery on her hand and looked up.

He saw a little man wrapped in a bright yellow robe staggering into the dormitory, he was still a few feet away, he opened his arms and shouted: "Mother hug, mother hug!"

The one who came here was naturally the grandson who was 'born' by the Li family—since he was born, he was raised by the princess' side.

Firstly, the Crown Princess is gentle and honest, and secondly, she also knows that it is impossible for her to have any more children in this life, so she treats her like a parent.

At this time, seeing the little guy staggering forward, the princess hurriedly got up to meet him, picked him up from the ground, rubbed his little red face, and said dotingly: "Why is Qi'er running all over again?" Sweating? When you go out at night, you will smell bad, and your father will be unhappy."

Hearing the word 'Father King', the little guy was obviously a little scared, but soon giggled again, wrapped his arms around the neck of the Crown Princess, and shouted indistinctly: "Tall, tall, tall! "

At first, the princess thought that he was trying to lift herself up high, but after lifting the little guy up a few times, she found that this was not the case, so she had to ask for help from the nurse who was standing with her hands tied.

The nanny hurriedly said: "What Shizi said is about the puppy that I ran into just now."

The princess smiled unconsciously, and put the little guy in her arms with one hand, stroked his face with her finger and said: "That's a dog, it's not tall, read it with mother: dog, dog."

"High, high!"

"Dog."

"Gao... what?"

"Dog."

"Tick……"

The happy time is always fleeting, the mother and son played around for about half an hour, the eldest son saw that his spirit was not good, the princess hugged and coaxed a few words, and then fell asleep in a daze.

Seeing this, the nanny waited to step forward and take over.

The Crown Princess shook her head slightly, put him on her bed, carefully stripped off his coat, shoes and socks, and covered him with the bedding.

"Miss."

At this time, the wet nurse couldn't help but reminded me embarrassingly: "The son has been used to being lively recently, and it's not easy to get up a few times - if it stains the empress's bed, what should I do."

The princess smiled: "Is there still a lack of mattresses to change and wash here in this palace? You should also go down and rest, and come in to serve Qi'er when she wakes up."

The nanny bowed and retreated.

For a while, only the crown prince and the sleeping son were left in the dormitory.

Originally, the princess wanted to take this opportunity to continue finishing the embroidery just now, but holding the needle and thread in her hand, she couldn't calm down no matter what.

In desperation, he had no choice but to sigh, and put it back into the bamboo dustpan with silver hoops.

Considering that the prince was still in the room, she got up and put the dustpan on a high place, and then sat down in front of the dressing table.

Combing her sideburns in front of the mercury mirror, the princess' green onion-like fingers lingered on the makeup box for a long time, but in the end they did not open it, but slid towards a few books not far away.

Move the top "Jiaxuan Poetry Collection" and "Li Taibai Collection" to other places, and a Zhanghui style storybook with a very different style of painting comes into view.

Looking at the story book, the princess felt a little guilty for no reason, and subconsciously turned her head to look at the eldest son on the bed, and saw that he was still sleeping soundly, so she stretched out her fingers in peace of mind, and gently stroked the few words on the cover. Large characters:

"Blood-Eyed Judge Alone Riding Huguang"

Obviously, this is a book describing Sun Shaozong's pacification of the chaos in Wuxi.

Although the content in it is roughly in line with the facts, the specific details are absurd. It directly depicts Sun Shaozong as a god general descending to the world, not only riding a horse as a thousand, but also summoning thunder from the sky.

As soon as the blood eyes were opened, it slaughtered thousands of disobedient ministers.

With the experience and intelligence of the Crown Princess, it is natural to see the random fabrications and far-fetched concubine - among other things, counting the barbarians who died under Sun Shaozong in the book, there are at least 10,000+.

But for some reason, after she inadvertently obtained this script from her younger brother Sun Zhaolin, she seemed to be possessed, and read it over and over again.

As a result, the storybook gradually fluffed and thickened, and finally had to be suppressed with several collections of poetry, so as not to be seen as strange.
