Battle of the Red Mansions

The hand that put Zhezi paused, Tu Jingyang opened his eyes slightly, and then quickly returned to his previous appearance, but what was going on in his heart, His Majesty the Emperor next to him didn't know.

Lin Ruhai, Ah Xuan's elder brother, the Jianghuai Yanyun who was afraid that he would bring down their younger brother, really had a predestined relationship.

Thinking about it this way, the smile in Tu Jingyang's eyes became more real, "Since the emperor's brother ordered it down, can I still push it away?"

If I can't push it, I won't push it. I seem to have heard a few words from Ah Xuan before that I will go back to Yangzhou after the reward. Now it seems that I can just drop in.

Even if we can't let outsiders know, then we can only wrong Ah Xuan and go back quietly with him. They take care of each other, so it will be much safer.

In the blink of an eye, the route to Yangzhou had been arranged. Tu Jingyang sat across from their royal brother, and seeing this brother who kept looking for trouble for him was also very pleasing to the eye.

"I heard that you and Lin Ruhai's brothers are very close, and you are also on the list of going to Beijing with the army today. Why, are you interested in their children?"

Seeing Tu Jingjue who was in a much better mood, Tu Jingjue remembered what Chang Yuan secretly told him a long time ago, so he asked directly.

Looking at their royal brother dumbfounded, Tu Jingyang really didn't know what to say, "Royal brother, do I look like someone who harms other people's children?"

Over the years, when I saw someone who was close and close to him, I just said this. God knows that he only made such news for the sake of disgusting Yizhong and letting him take care of them by the way.

"From ten years ago to now, Brother Huang, how many times have you said that?"

It's not that he didn't admit it, he just treated Lin Xuan better, but he never thought of abducting her back home.

He has a bright future. In the future, with a beautiful wife and concubines and children, how can he live with a big man like him?

Judging from Tu Jingyang's tone, he also knew that he had no interest in Lin Xuan now, so Tu Jingjue nodded, "That's very good, otherwise I wouldn't be able to explain to Lin Qing."

So, is this just to trick him?

"There are so many people today, and I don't know which one is the younger brother of Lin Qing's family who joined the army. Let's take a look next time." Today, Tu Jingjue didn't care who was going on the agenda all day long. After finishing the charter, I hurried back to the palace. After all, it was okay to stand on the city wall for a while, but it was not very comfortable after a long time.

Now that the weather has started to heat up, and the heavy court clothes are pressing on the body, there is no difference between spending a day in the sun and being tortured.

Of course, there is another point that His Majesty the Emperor will not admit. In fact, he does not know the difference between human faces.

Good-looking and ugly are both the same in his eyes.

Obviously, knowing the problem of their royal brother, Prince Ning'an was not polite, and started to help the royal brother with a smile, "It's actually very easy to identify, the most handsome and best-looking one is the one."

Putting down the bowls and chopsticks in his hand, he didn't call anyone to come in to clean them up. Tu Jingjue looked at his smiling younger brother with normal expression, "So, you think that the children are growing up well, so you have evil intentions."

"Brother Huang, I am your own younger brother!"

"I'm still your brother!"

Even I don't need it anymore, I'm already full, I'm already relieved, I can't help but shake my head, Tu Jingyang said again, "I'm tall and tall in red armor, if the emperor sees them riding horses, Ah Xuan's Feisha is also a rare horse, for Brother Huang, it may be more convenient to recognize the horse."

"There is indeed one in the red armor, but it's a little far away, and I can't see what it looks like." Without refuting what their younger brother said, Tu Jingjue squeezed his chin and thought for a while, and he really remembered standing behind Xie Qiong. The young general in red armor in the distance.

"Ah Xuan has won Xie Qiong's true biography, and his way of marching is like a divine soldier. The name of Tiance was obtained by the younger brother Zhang Huang, have you forgotten?" Speaking of Lin Xuan, Tu Jingyang has a lot of things to say It can be said, but he didn't want to say too much on this occasion, "There is still something to do in the palace, if there is nothing else, the younger brother will leave first."

"Wait, bring these on."

Stretching out his hand to stop the person, Tu Jingjue went to the imperial case next to him and rummaged through another stack of papers, and found out the papers he had sorted out earlier that could be used by those who took the most bribes in the Jiangnan officialdom, and then threw the things over.

The younger brother will make the best use of everything, and he is worried about the others in the capital, but this is still possible.

Cursing secretly in his heart, he really planned it long ago, Tu Jingyang took the booklet away, then turned around and left decisively.

Smiling and watching people leave, when the door was closed, the smile on Tu Jingyang's face was almost gone.

Someone came over to tidy up all the things, and His Majesty the Emperor, who had regained his composure, sat back at the imperial case and began to read the books he hadn't read.

He has long wanted to take action against the Jiangnan officialdom. Local officials and Beijing officials protect each other. The national treasury has been running low for years. If Jingyang hadn't kept filling it with money, he wouldn't be able to survive the first year of his ascension.

Fortunately, they have survived the initial internal and external troubles, and now the Supreme Emperor can't intervene in the government, and he can take good care of the wealth of those countries.

He can rest assured of Lin Ruhai's methods, and with Jingyang watching by his side, the situation will not get out of control, so he will take advantage of this time to settle the matter with the people in Beijing.

Back then when the foreign enemies came, they hid far away, and now they are colluding with the local government. Do you really think he is a bad-tempered trash?

I don't know what big event their elder brother is preparing in the imperial study room. After leaving the palace, Tu Jingyang went straight back to the palace, thinking that he would see Lin Xuan as soon as he came back, and discuss with him about going to Yangzhou on the same road.

However, looking at the Wangfu, which was no different from usual, Tu Jingyang stood there with arms folded, feeling that the person might not have been brought here.

Chang Heng, who came over with a bitter face after the mission failed, looked at their prince's face, and then stepped forward to reply in a low voice, "Master, General Xie said that it is just right that Lin Xiaoye is with him, and I will come to visit the prince's mansion in a few days."

You don't need to think about it to know what Xie Qiong thinks. Tu Jingyang is just a little regretful, but he is not too entangled.

"Coming together?" Looking up at Tu Jingyang in surprise, Chang Heng answered subconsciously, "My lord, have you given up your previous plan and prepared to join the army?"

"My lord is the prince of the Daqing Dynasty. What kind of army do you come from? Hurry up and go back to sleep!" After cursing with a smile, Tu Jingyang waved the man away, and then walked towards the study by himself.

Now that he has taken over the job, he can't just ignore it and allow him to develop freely. If he only follows the bright path, Jiangnan's constantly cutting and chaotic officialdom will not get better in ten years.

Lin Ruhai looks like a modest gentleman, and he is indeed a gentleman on weekdays, but he is not pedantic in the way of being an official. When the water is clear, there will be no fish. He can't live in a clean land like Jiangnan.

It was the first time he dealt with Lin Ruhai because of this matter, so he might be able to take advantage of this to expand his family's business to the south of the Yangtze River.

Others stick to the status of a scholar, farmer, businessman, and even a businessman has to hide it. Now that he has blatantly mixed himself in, this imperial merchant's position may be considered to be taken back and let his family do it.

Anyway, the money earned will go to the national treasury, and their royal brother probably won't care about this.

Xie's mansion stayed with Xie Qiong at Xie's house for a day as a confidant, and early the next morning, Lin Xuan was dragged up by Xie Yang.

The general of their family wanted to exchange feelings with the elders of the family, and this was not something that could be done in a day. The two of them had nothing to do in the mansion without any worries, and it would be more practical to go to the military camp outside the city.

However, Xie Yang failed to pull Lin Xuan out of the city in the end, instead he was dragged around various remote places in the city.

Lin Xuan doesn't know much about the capital, but Xie Yang grew up here. Although he has been away for several years, the layout of Beijing and China will not change.

After wandering around the city all morning, the layout of the city was not too different. Lin Xuan quickly remembered the general picture of the capital, and then let Xie Yang go.

It is habitual to go to a place to figure out the general layout first. Although it may not be useful here, Lin Xuan still does it according to the habit.

Anyway, these things are no brainer for him, and it’s okay to remember more.

I didn't know what this kid meant all morning, Xie Yang didn't intend to leave just like that, the two found a restaurant to have dinner first, and then Lin Xuan said what to do in the afternoon.

No worries, no worries was just what Xie Yang said, he didn't really have no worries at all, at least the Rongguo Mansion, which he never wanted to go to, still had to go there in his current capacity.

After all, their sister-in-law specifically asked Rong Guogong to take care of him, so he couldn't just pretend he didn't know and just pass by.

There was a private room upstairs, and Lin Xuan said while waiting for the food to be served, "I'll wait for A-Gump at the city gate later, and then go to Rongguo Mansion."

Xie Yang nodded, "Okay, anyway, it's your family's business. I'll go back and talk to the general later, but I still have to come back at night. I heard that Rongguo Mansion is not a good place."

Looking at Xie Yang not quite understanding, Lin Xuan sat there with her face covered, just waiting for the man to finish speaking.

They are not usually in the capital, but there is also Xie Wan who does not often appear in front of people. It is said that Xie Wan can also get the news that the emperor can get, and she stays in the capital on weekdays and knows the gossip in the capital. is especially clear.

Xie Yang and Xie Wan are close, so they know a lot about these things.

Mysteriously approaching Lin Xuan, Xie Yang blinked, "You know that Duke Rong is dedicated to serving the country, why is he still being kept away by the emperor?"

"Stop talking nonsense, hurry up." Anyway, the Rongguo Mansion has something to do with their family, Lin Xuan frowned, and asked Xie Yang to focus on it fiercely.

Not caring about Lin Xuan's expression, Xie Yang moved a little further away, then lowered his voice to pretend to be deep, "The problem is not with Rong Guogong, but with their inner house."

After saying this, Lin Xuan can guess what's going on, the inner house of Rongguo Mansion, isn't the water deep?

It's just that I haven't heard that a fight in the house can involve the previous dynasty, the royal family wouldn't be like this!

"What can happen in the inner house of Rongguo Mansion to make the Holy Majesty stay away from Rongguo Gong?"

"The Rongguo Mansion had a grandson not long ago. Because he was born with a piece of psychic jade in his mouth, it was hung on his neck as a lifeline. The whole Rongguo Mansion regarded it as a treasure, and he was a generation of jade characters, so he was named For Jia Baoyu."

This is the movement of Baoyu's appearance. It's okay, so why is there a problem?

Signaling Xie Yang to continue, Lin Xuan is sitting next to him, so he should listen to the story.

"It's nothing but these. There is no auspicious sign for the birth of the first son and grandson in the family, but the bad thing is the mother of the first grandson." Shaking his head regretfully, Xie Yang continued, "It's obviously a good thing. , It is known all over the city that the lady preached, and the family members don’t know how to stop it, you know, the royal family has never had such a precedent.”

"Managing the inner house is really a technical job." After muttering in a low voice, Lin Xuan seriously emphasized, "Although my sister-in-law is also from the Rongguo Mansion, such a thing has never happened. My sister-in-law's temper couldn't be better. It won't be so ostentatious."

Answered vaguely, just at this time the food was served, Xie Yang took the chopsticks by himself, and then said while looking at the food, "I know, the people in your family are all the best, Herongguo Mansion no the same."
