Whose Evil in the Red Chamber

After the reckless words came out of her mouth, the little girl also found that she had said something wrong in a hurry, and the circles of her eyes suddenly turned red, and she looked very pitiful.

However, the emperor kept a cold face, unmoved at all, and said coldly, "Oh? Who are you?"

"Your Majesty, forgive me, this is the unworthy daughter of a guilty minister." Yan Shu faced the emperor's eyes that seemed to freeze to death, and hurriedly stood up to plead guilty. I also ask the emperor to open the Internet."

After all, Yan Shu pulled his daughter to kneel on the ground, Miss Yan was pressed to the ground by her father, her knees were icy cold, her heart was extremely wronged, when she was about to speak, her grandfather who always loved her was also looking at her severely. Only then did he panic, not daring to talk nonsense anymore.

"It turned out to be Yan Qing's daughter." The emperor's gaze swept across the pale and bloodless face of the queen, and then slowly landed on the father and daughter of the Yan family who were kneeling below.

Yan Shu didn't dare to say anything, his heart was pounding into a ball, he just felt dizzy, facing the eyes of all civil and military officials at the grand event, Yan Shu was too regretful, he would never have taken this girl out if he knew what to say.

"Firefox is a spiritual thing, and the spiritual thing will choose its own owner, so why snatch it? You shouldn't think about it, it's better to let it go early, what do you think, queen?" In the silence, the emperor finally opened his mouth slowly. Swept past the silent civil and military officials, and finally landed on the Queen's face.

The queen's face became paler and paler. The emperor's words seemed to slap her in front of everyone. She only felt the pain on her face, and forced a decent smile, and then said: "The emperor's words are true. .”

Only then did the emperor nod in satisfaction, and raised his hand to wake up the father and daughter of the Yan family. At this moment, the venison in the back had been roasted, emitting bursts of aroma. The emperor asked the little eunuch to carry the cut venison to the front.At this time, everyone's thoughts were all taken back from the Yan family, and they all focused on the plates of venison in Yuqian.

Last time, a copy was given to King Zhongping. He was the tenth prince who was succeeded. He was already close to the emperor. Everyone was not surprised to receive this honor, but this time King Zhongping did not participate in Qiu Wei. Who will this first honor go to?Everyone's eyes turned around Prince Zhongshun, Senior Scholars Chen and Senior Scholars Liu. These families are currently in the favor of Longzhong.

As for the Lin family, it is too much for Mr. Lin to be given the honor of sitting next to the emperor, and Lin Ruhai has not been promoted to a cabinet scholar. If there is no accident, the Lin family will not have the honor of being the first venison.

It's a pity that these people's ideas came to nothing. When the emperor gave Jing Xuan the first portion of venison without hesitation, the eyes of all civil and military officials were almost red. This Mr. Lin is very capable !

This night, the emperor made no secret of his preference for Jingxuan, which caused all the ministers to slander him. It was too late. The emperor was so honored and favored, wouldn't he be afraid of ruining the child's luck? Destroying it, since ancient times, those who have shown their sharpness have not ended so satisfactorily.Even Xue Mingyi showed worry on his face, prosperity must decline, and cooking with fire and oil may not be a good thing.

Faced with these, Jing Xuan was calm, without any worries or fears, he could understand the emperor's thoughts, his good uncle had long been angry because he couldn't rectify his name, he always felt that he After being wronged so much, I can't wait to give myself the best things in the world.Thinking of his biological father, whom he had never had the chance to meet, who could make someone like the emperor love him so much, he regretted that he had no chance to see the demeanor of His Royal Highness the crown prince.

He lowered his head and looked down, facing Wei Zhen's gaze in the distance. Wei Zhen's face was blurred against the background of the bonfire, but those black eyes seemed to exude a brilliance that cannot be ignored, like an abyss in the moment of watching It can devour people.In these eyes, Jing Xuan saw joy, but not any worry, as if it was a matter of course that he should sit on this high platform and receive all the honor and favor from the world.

The corners of Jing Xuan's mouth curled up, and undisguised joy burst out of his eyes. What does it matter what the world thinks if you can get a confidant in this world?

"Thank you, Uncle." Jing Xuan took the venison and called out this title for the first time in public.

The emperor laughed loudly, with obvious joy and a hint of bitterness in his smile. The joy was because Jingxuan publicly called him uncle in this life, and the bitterness was because he didn't know when Jingxuan would be able to call him "Uncle Nine" publicly. ".Sitting on the high platform, watching the bowing of all civil and military officials on the stage, he didn't feel any joy.

He would rather be the one kneeling down and submitting to him now, instead of the prince brother sitting on the dragon chair and smiling at him.

After the grand meeting, the news about Lin Jingxuan seemed to be an unavoidable topic among these aristocratic families, but in the capital, the rumors about him disappeared in an instant. People, also decisively chose to shut up.

The relationship between the emperor and his courtiers has always been very delicate. Either the east wind overwhelms the west wind, or the west wind overwhelms the east wind. If the emperor is weak, the ministers will be strong. Once the emperor uses iron and blood, the ministers will be soft.

As for the hearts of the people, the common people only care about the harvest this year, whether they can have a good year after a year of hard work, and the princes of the family are just the talk of the common people after dinner when the family has surplus food.The merchants wanted to climb the big tree of Jingxuan even more after seeing that the Xue family had tasted the sweetness.It's a pity that most of them have no connections, so they can only support the Xue family, hoping to get another share in the capital.

As for the Lin family, Lin Ruhai was not retained as an official in the capital, but got a post as the governor of Jiangnan.Now the situation in Jiangnan has been completely reshuffled, the old family has fallen, and there will always be new ones to be supported, and those who can be supported are naturally the emperor's confidantes. At this time, taking over the job of the governor of Jiangnan will bring reorganization and stability The heavy burden of the situation in the south of the Yangtze River.

After Lin Ruhai received the order, he let out a sigh of relief.Being entrusted with an important task shows that he has not completely lost the emperor's trust. At the same time, it must be the last chance the emperor gave him.If he failed to achieve satisfactory results in Jiangnan this time, Lin Ruhai would no longer have a foothold in the court three years later.

The emperor did have this intention. He was an emperor who was born in the army, and all his direct descendants were generals who were good at fighting, but they were not good at governing the people.These people have achieved excellent results in defending the frontier, but if they are to be appointed as local officials, I am afraid that they will have a headache.

Since he came to the throne, he has focused on promoting available talents from aristocratic families and poor families, but there are many talented people in this world, but not many can achieve both ability and political integrity.Quite a few Jinshi from humble backgrounds were not bad when they first entered the court and became officials, but with the immersion in the officialdom, almost all of them changed their minds.

Either clinging to the powerful and learning to use power for personal gain, confounding black and white, or associating with those sour scholars, reciting poems and painting to point out the country has become more and more skillful, but he was released as a magistrate but was deceived by the chief officials under him. Although he did not directly treat the people harshly, But he became an accomplice when he was confused, which is even more hateful.

As for the children of the family, because the interests involved are more complicated, such things as favors are inevitable, and there are many disadvantages in appointing the children of the family.

After so many years, the emperor really didn't have many civil servants in his hands, only the Liu family and the Chen family had to use some. Although Lin Ruhai was a little cautious in the salt administration before, but now that King Zhong'an's power has been destroyed and King Beijing is dormant, the Lin family is considered Passively offending both of these two families, Lin Ruhai didn't want to be alone.This is what the emperor wanted to see.

What's more, the emperor snorted angrily. He wanted to keep Jingxuan in the capital, so he didn't want to keep Lin Ruhai too.Therefore, Lin Ruhai was specially asked to take up the post immediately, and he was not allowed to stay in Beijing to take up the post after the middle age as usual.For the reunion dinner or something, the emperor said that he didn't want Jing Xuan to spend it with the Lin family at all.

Regarding Lin Ruhai's reassignment, Jia Min also breathed a sigh of relief. When she returned to Beijing this time, her communication in the capital seemed to be more and more difficult. The Queen Mother's summoning did not make her feel better.Fortunately, Jia Min didn't know that the Empress had intended to mention Jing Xuan's marriage to her, otherwise, Mrs. Lin would really be frowning this time.

Compared with Lin Ruhai's stubbornness towards Lin Jingxuan, Jia Min's feelings towards Jingxuan are undoubtedly more complicated, but she is a transparent person, and she has a good understanding of Jingxuan's temper.These years, without mentioning the relationship between their husband and wife and Jingxuan, just looking at the relationship between their daughter Daiyu and Jingxuan, Jia Min knows that Jingxuan has a temperament that can be divided into love and hatred. Jingxuan brought back a lot of skins for Daiyu, and specially hugged the Firefox, and asked Daiyu to play with it for a long time.

And...Lin Ruhai didn't realize that, as a delicate woman, Jia Min discovered the unusual relationship between Jing Xuan and Wei Zhen, but she understood Lin Ruhai's temper too well, so it's better to keep it a secret for now.Otherwise, it would be an uproar.

Not long after the Lin family left the capital, there was a heavy snowfall in the capital, and the temperature plummeted, as if the cold had penetrated into the bones of a person.Jing Xuan was already afraid of the cold, and he was even reluctant to step out of the door in such weather.Fortunately, Wei Zhen knew his strength, and when he took over the house from the Xue family, he found someone to take care of the earth dragon again, which was much more than other houses. In winter, the earth dragon was burned, and the whole house was burned It was warm and cozy, like two seasons outside.

The ground dragon was hot and dry, so Jing Xuan made some hot and dry soup, and nestled in the room to watch his new play.Although the foundation of the Lichun troupe is in the south of the Yangtze River, because of Jingxuan's move to the north, the troupe leader and the core actors all left the south of the Yangtze River very neatly and came to the capital.

Because of Jingxuan's reputation in Beijing and the strength of the troupe, the Lichun troupe quickly gained a foothold in Beijing. Now that the end of the year is approaching, the palace wants to call the Lichun troupe into the palace for performances. Jingxuan So I thought about arranging a new play for the emperor's uncle.He knew that the emperor had always been concerned about the navy and was thinking about doing something about it.

After revising and writing the third fold, Wei Zhen came in from the outside, bringing in a gust of cold wind, Jing Xuan shivered subconsciously, and Wei Zhen stuffed a hand stove in his hand in a blink of an eye.

After Wei Zhen took off the cloak and the hat on his head, he reached out to cover Jing Xuan's hand, and stuffed it into his chest from the collar.Wei Zhen's chest was scorching hot, and this warmth traveled along Jing Xuan's hands all over his body, causing Jing Xuan to snort softly, which also caused Wei Zhen's eyes to press again.However, feeling the cold air in Jing Xuan's body that was hard to get rid of, no matter how much Wei Zhen's charming thoughts flew to the sky, leaving a trace of worry.

The master's medical skills are already good enough, but there is no way to cure Jing Xuan's hidden dangers left by him when he was a child, so he can only recuperate slowly.Now Jingxuan is getting bigger and bigger, but his body is not getting better, and he suffers abnormally every winter.The master traveled all over the country in the past two years to see if there are any good prescriptions among the people.

"Tomorrow is Xue Pan's big day, can you go out with your body?" Wei Zhen asked worriedly.

Jing Xuan smiled: "Xue Pan and Wu Niang got married, there is no reason for me not to be there. It's just that my hands and feet are cold, and it's not a serious problem. Didn't you just make me a pair of new shoes a while ago? Let me see It's fluffy inside, comfortable and warm to wear."

After finishing speaking, Jing Xuan curled his lips helplessly, since the shoes were finished, there was not a single part of his clothes that was not round and fluffy, and he knew how ridiculous he looked in the eyes of others.It's fine to dress like this when I was young, but it's still like this when I'm older, it makes people even more reluctant to go out.

However, Wei Zhen thought it was very good, he had to be wrapped tightly to be warm, and the fluffy Jing Xuan was extremely cute in his eyes, and it felt great in his arms.Of course, Wei Zhen did not dare to ask Jing Xuan to know the latter sentence.

"Alright, the imperial doctor Huang in the palace gave me a house for boiling water to soak my feet. It is very good for dredging the meridians and getting rid of the cold in the body. I have already asked the cook to cook it, and I will serve it later. Tell you to try."

As soon as Wei Zhen finished speaking, the servants brought the water over. Wei Zhen sent the servants out and knelt down to remove Jing Xuan's shoes and socks.The water was filled in a wooden basin, and Wei Zhen slowly let Jing Xuan get used to the temperature of the potion. When both feet were completely submerged, the water just reached the calf.

The feet were warmed by the potion with a suitable temperature. Wei Zhen slowly kneaded the acupuncture points on Jing Xuan's feet. The inner strength assisted the potion, and the heat spread from the soles of the feet to the top of the head. After a while, Jing Xuan released a thin A layer of sweat, the pores of the whole body are very comfortable.

After staying for half an hour, Jing Xuan, who was sweating profusely, went to the bathroom in the inner room to take a shower and change clothes. When he came out again, the outside had been cleaned up. Seeing him coming out, Wei Zhen told him to lie on his lap , Drying his hair with a handkerchief.

The snow outside did not know when it stopped, and the sun shone down through the slowly thinning clouds. Unlike the heat of the earth dragon, the sun shrouded people's body with a certain warmth, and Jing Xuan breathed slowly and comfortably. Relaxed, and fell asleep on Wei Zhen's pillow.

The five big and three thick men took a small handkerchief and gently wiped the hair of the person in his arms. The scene that should have been extremely funny was placed on Wei Zhen and Jing Xuan, but there was no violation of it. Her tenderness makes people unable to take their eyes away after seeing it.After drying Jing Xuan's hair, Wei Zhen gently put Jing Xuan on the bed, allowing him to continue to sleep comfortably. When covering the quilt, Wei Zhen slowly lowered her head and gently laid Jing Xuan on the bed. A kiss fell on his foot.

Jing Xuan slept comfortably until the next morning. After breakfast, under Wei Zhen's supervision, he got dressed in the plush, and the two of them went to Xue's house for a wedding.

Cold winter is not a good time to get married, but Xue's family is currently working in the capital, and they urgently need a clear headed mistress. Obviously, Mrs. Xue, who is often confused, is not a suitable candidate. In the capital, she kept a low profile for a while, but since she got involved with Mrs. Wang of the Rongguo Mansion, she has returned to her old ways.

Xue Mingyi was worried about her, so he wanted to ask Xue Pan and Wu Niang to get married early. Wu Niang was actually one of the head of the Xue family, but she lost a legitimate title. It's a pity that she will be a daughter-in-law and a mother-in-law With her identity there, Sanniang was very worried that Wuniang would have an uncomfortable life in the future.

Jing Xuan's method of handling this matter was very simple and rude. Even though the mother-in-law's status can be suppressed, it is not enough in front of the imperial power.Jingxuan opened his mouth in front of the queen mother, and the queen mother found a reason to call Wu Niang into the palace for a while, and then there was a decree to canonize Wu Niang as the county lord.

And because Wuniang's parents died early, the queen mother asked Wuniang to get married from the palace, and asked Wuniang to pick a female history and bring them into Xue's house to save Wuniang, and also asked Mrs. Xue to marry her in front of this daughter-in-law. There is no longer the capital to show off.

The county magistrate counts the monarch and Mrs. Xue counts the ministers. The courtesy of the monarch and the minister is better than the family courtesy. If Wuniang is willing, Mrs. Xue will have to salute every time she sees her daughter-in-law. This makes Mrs. Xue feel extremely embarrassed. They are all very envious, Mrs. Xue is afraid that she will not be able to survive the wedding.

As a result, this marriage became more and more grand and grand, and the kings of the middle and upper counties in the capital all heard the news, and even the loyal prince who was still keeping his filial piety could not come in person, so he sent the head of the palace, Shi Dao, to congratulate him. A merchant from the Xue family, It is unprecedented to be able to reach such a point.

Xue Mingyi drank slightly drunk, his face beaming with joy, Xue Pan just smirked, drinking like drinking water, he would not refuse anyone who came, if Liu Xianglian and others hadn't helped him hold back the wine, I'm afraid the groom would be brought back tonight New house.

Jing Xuan sat there but no one dared to persuade him to drink, but Wei Zhen was forced to drink a few glasses by Xue Pan, who was so strong and courageous. In the end, Wei Zhen drank all the people present who toasted him to the ground, except After letting go of Xue Pan who was going to be the groom tonight, he took Jing Xuan to say goodbye and went home very soberly among a group of drunk cats.

Along the way, Wei Zhen didn't ride a horse, but sat in the car and kept hugging Jing Xuan. After returning home, no matter what Jing Xuan did, he followed Jing Xuan without hesitation, like a sticky It seemed to be on him, with a serious expression and very clear eyes, which made Jing Xuan really helpless.It seems that Wei Zhen is probably also drunk, but the way of getting drunk is very different.

Wei Zhen who is so clingy...Jing Xuan thinks it's quite interesting, and it's very comfortable to hold such a big human-shaped heater in the winter.Not so good, though, when waking up the next morning to something less than comforting propped up on the stove.

However, seeing Wei Zhen apparently running away, Jing Xuan's mood instantly became like the sunshine outside the window, bright and warm, able to penetrate all the haze.

At this moment, Jing Xuan thought, in fact, he also wanted to grow up quickly.
