Battle of the Red Mansions

In the study, Lin Ruhai thought that his younger brother didn't know anything, so Lin Ruhai explained the origin of King Ning'an Tu Jingyang with a solemn face.

This prince who seems to have a good temper and seems harmless is not as harmless as he appears on the surface. On the contrary, among the princes of the current emperor, except for the respectful prince Tu Jingjue, no one can be with this prince. Get out of your hands.

Even the Lord Yizhong is the same.

Prince Gongqian has always kept a low profile. If he hadn't been required to appear on some occasions, everyone would have almost forgotten that the emperor still has such a son.

But low-key is low-key. Although the emperor is not pleased, this prince is not someone who can be looked down upon.

Although the relationship between King Ning'an and King Gongqian's mother is not very good, there has never been any conflict on the surface, but it is different from King Yizhong. These two masters have never met each other. Ansheng lived.

King Ning'an was thoughtful, and he was used to a gentle and refined appearance. Although Prince Yizhong was favored by the emperor, when the two met, they often fell short.

Tu Jingyang is not the eldest son of Zhonggong, but among the current princes, apart from Prince Yizhong, the most favored one is the Prince of Broken Sleeves, whose reputation has spread throughout the court and the public.

Everyone in the court knows that King Ning'an and King Yizhong have always been at odds, but they don't know what the current emperor is thinking, and he insisted on reconciling in it for nearly 20 years.

I don't know whether it was intentional or unintentional, but when the queen was about to arrange a princess for him, Tu Jingyang, the Prince of Ning'an, insisted on rushing directly to the current Holy Majesty, and said bluntly that he liked men.

The emperor was so angry with this sentence that he persuaded the empress for an unknown number of days, and even punished King Ning An's biological mother, Concubine Shen Gui, saying that she was incapable of teaching, so she was directly imprisoned for half a month.

But no matter how he punished, Prince Ning An insisted on this sentence, he didn't like women and didn't need a princess.

King Ning'an had a tough attitude and refused to budge on this matter. In the end, the emperor had no choice but to follow his will.

This incident was a big one in the capital back then, so everyone knew that Tu Jingyang was a broken sleeve, but the dignitaries in Beijing did not directly ignore such a noble figure when they were choosing a son-in-law.

After all, a man can't give birth to a son and a half daughter. As King Ning'an, it's nothing to raise a few male favorites. It will be fine when he settles down and wants to start a family.

Thinking of occupying the princess's seat first, the dignitaries in Beijing did not give up sending the woman to Tu Jingyang's side, but the subsequent development was beyond everyone's expectations.

No matter if it is a noble girl in Beijing or a mediocre woman, as long as they are sent to the mansion, Tu Jingyang will not refuse anyone. Even the emperor thought that this person was just a whim before, and Tu Jingyang sent all the women in the mansion to his brothers. house.

Not a single one was missed, everyone had a share, and all of them were given away.

The emperor was so angry with this son that he couldn't do it, and directly imprisoned him in the mansion for half a year, but after that, no one dared to send women to Ning'an Palace.

Some people think that Tu Jingyang released this news to avoid suspicion, and some people think that he is a broken sleeve, but no matter what, Cong Jingyang is still alone.

Refreshing, not even a blue face, a neat bachelor.

Perhaps King Ning'an directly stated that he likes men, so he will definitely not leave a son and a half daughter, and there is no threat to those who want to compete for the throne. Therefore, the emperor after being angry is more partial to him .

This can be seen when he clashed with Prince Yizhong.

Everyone can see that Prince Ning'an is favored, and even Prince Yizhong avoids his edge. Naturally, everyone should be careful to flatter such a noble figure.

Without the help of the concubine, King Ning'an is obviously far behind King Yizhong, but there is one thing that King Yizhong cannot compare to him, that is, King Ning'an is rich.

Merchants have always been looked down upon by others. The son of Ning'an Wang, a dignified emperor, is a nobleman, but he doesn't know why he can't think about starting a business. Although no one dares to say anything on the surface, but in private, the reputation of this gentleman is indeed not very good.

There are rules in front of it, not all the officials have no property, but even if they manage it themselves, they are all recorded in the name of their cronies, and there is no cover for their own fate, and King Ning'an is the first one.

Originally, because he likes men, his reputation is not very good. This is probably a broken pot.

But there is no way, even if King Ning An is a little different from ordinary people in terms of preferences, he is still the prince favored by the current emperor, and with the emperor's backing, he naturally has no scruples.

Telling everything he knew without reservation to his brother with bright eyes who seemed to be listening to a story, Lin Ruhai knocked on the table, "Ah Xuan, do you know what brother is talking about?"

"I know." Nodding with a serious face, Lin Xuan sat down opposite their elder brother, and then said decisively, "Brother, everyone loves me, so I have to be careful and careful in order not to be fooled by others. ?"

Looking at his younger brother who said to be careful, but didn't mean to be careful at all, Lin Ruhai pursed his lips, his complexion getting worse and worse.

Feeling that the atmosphere was not right, the young master of the Lin family rubbed his arms and straightened his body, "Brother, I have no interaction with that prince, I will pay attention, don't be angry."

Seriously speaking, Lin Xuan really didn't think too much, let alone whether the prince really broke his sleeves, even if he really broke his sleeves, what does it have to do with him, isn't he just fine?

But since the eldest brother is so worried, it's better for him to hide.

"However, shouldn't King Ning'an be in the capital? What is he doing in Yangzhou?" Lin Xuan looked at their eldest brother in confusion, and asked in a deliberate tone, "Isn't he busy making money? How come he has time? Come here to play?"

He often listens to gossip on weekdays, Xiaoye Lin is not as pure and harmless as his elder brother thinks, at least he doesn't know what he should know, and he knows more or less what he shouldn't know.

According to the rumors he heard, although Ning'an Wang Tu Jingyang was not as scary as his elder brother said, he was also a very difficult smiling tiger.

Smiling face to face, the holes dug deeper than the other, watching the opponent fall into the hole step by step and then fill up with two handfuls of soil, Tu Jingyang is probably such a person.

Anyway, just stay away when you see it, he has self-knowledge, it's okay to let the elder brother deal with this kind of person, let him come... I'm afraid even the elder brother will be sold out.

Therefore, it is best for him to hide as far away as possible.

"The situation in the capital is a bit chaotic. In order to avoid suspicion and also to leave a way out, King Ning An left the capital without telling anyone." Lin Ruhai sighed and rubbed his temples, "I just didn't expect him to come to Yangzhou... ...."

I didn't even expect to come to him!

The chaos in the capital was not caused by his meager local bureaucracy.

There is no simple person in the royal family, and Prince Gongqian and Prince Ning'an are at odds... It is probably rumored to deceive others.

But now it seems that he might not want to participate. The Yangzhou Salt Administration is related to the national treasury. He is now in this position. Even if it is not King Ning An, other people will come to look for him.

The fight between the princes, although there is no blood on the surface, is even more terrifying!

Probably guessing what will happen in the capital, Lin Xuan nodded obediently, "Then brother, be careful, and tell me if you are bullied. Although the bullying won't come back now, brother, I can write it down in my notebook."

Instead of answering the conversation with a smile as usual, Lin Ruhai nodded, and then looked at his immature younger brother who was no longer a child, "My brother has already delivered a letter to a friend who is stationed at Hangu Pass, don't think about it." People sneak away, it's too dangerous."

She had already expected that her arrival in Yangzhou would not be smooth sailing, so instead of letting Ah Xuan stay here, it would be better to leave for a while as he wished.

Although Hangu Pass is not close to Yangzhou, it is still in the Central Plains, so there is no need to worry that Ah Xuan's life will be in danger if foreigners go to war.

Although doing this might go against his younger brother's intentions, as an older brother, Lin Ruhai felt that he could only do this.

"Brother, I didn't think about leaving alone." Looking at Lin Ruhai with a straight face, Lin Xuan straightened her back and replied, "Even if I want to join the army, I won't leave without your consent."

He is just such a big brother, how could he offend his brother just because he joined the army?

Instead of worrying the eldest brother, it is better to spend more time to get the elder brother to agree.

However, letting him leave so easily always felt that something was wrong.

After thinking for a while with lowered eyes, Lin Xuan couldn't help but ask her brother, seeing that his face was not very good all the time, "Brother, what happened?"
