Battle of the Red Mansions

Lin Ruhai originally wanted to ask the emperor for a favor, but he didn't expect the imperial decree to arrive at home before he could act.

Confessing the imperial decree, Lin Ruhai knew who was helping him after a little thought. After all, the emperor was always busy and didn't have the energy to pay attention to the family affairs of his courtiers. After all, only he himself knew what happened to their family and Rongguo Mansion.

In any case, he was finally relieved about the child, and had a good talk with Lin Xuan, and Lin Ruhai also let go of him. The child has grown up, so there is no need for him to stare at him all the time.

The emperor is ready to attack the nobles, and the last step before starting is to take out all their wealth.

Since the founding of the country, various families have borrowed an unknown amount of money from the treasury, but when the time comes for repayment, they each shirk it, and no one is willing to spit out the money that has been swallowed.

The Supreme Emperor doesn't care about these things, as long as he has his own flowers, he doesn't care about how much money is in the treasury, but it's different today, the money in the treasury is all public money, so it's fine if they borrow it, and it's fine if they don't pay it back.

Since you can't get it back by legitimate means, then turn a corner and let them spit out all the money by themselves.

Although the Lin family has made meritorious service for generations, they did not get involved in the court affairs a few generations ago. When Lin Houye was still there, he even told Lin Ruhai that if the emperor still does not care about political affairs, he should still find an official position and treat him well in the south of the Yangtze River. with.

Even if their Lin family loses their titles, as long as the children in the family are taught well, they won't miss the day when You Mingjun appears.

Lin Ruhai always kept his father's words in mind, so he only stayed in the capital for half a year after passing the exam and asked to be released, and then stayed in Yangzhou for many years.

Fortunately, today's saints are wise and wise, and they have recovered a lot of the decline over the years. Now Jiangnan is stable, and foreigners at the border are also afraid of being beaten. They will not dare to invade easily for at least ten years. If the business can survive, the psychology of attack will be reduced a lot.

So now, there are only those nobles who don't know the sufferings of the world.

In the final analysis, none of the families that the emperor targeted had any children who could do things properly. The unworthy descendants of a family only knew how to enjoy themselves, but did not know how to plan for the family foundation. She does a lot of evil with her identity, so how can the family last long?

Lin Ruhai did not get involved in this matter on the surface. After all, his wife's family was going to be cleaned up this time, and he always wanted to avoid suspicion, but there were so many things involved, it was impossible to stay out of it completely.

Now that Tu Jingyang has returned to the capital, the emperor will not let him leave easily, at least not until this matter is over. Thinking that the two of them will return to the northwest together, Lin Xuan also sent a letter to General Xie, saying that he will stay in the capital for a while .

It is to make people take the initiative to spit out their money. Prince Ning'an can't leave even if he wants to. After all, he is familiar with buying and selling things. Now he can reassure the emperor.

Lin Xuan didn't quite know what they were busy with every day, but only heard that the emperor mentioned the status of many people in the palace, and then allowed them to go home to visit their relatives, and he also guessed what might happen afterwards.

Probably when it was time to build the Grand View Garden, Jia Yuanchun went home to visit his relatives, but didn't he have to spend a lot of time and money.

This place is different from a simple book. The book focuses on the Rongguo Mansion, but looking from the outside, there are more than one noble family involved this time.

It is only a matter of one sentence for the emperor to raise his status, but it is not a trivial matter to let these concubines go back to their natal homes. It is possible to go there easily, but once the comparison is started, it will be difficult to control later.

She felt that she couldn't help, and Lin Xuan was not in the way at home. Normally, other than Lin's mansion was Ning'an's mansion, so it was rare for her to be patient and not to run outside.

But he wanted to be safe, and some people didn't want him to be safe. After Lin Ruhai introduced him at Brother Yi's full moon banquet, someone revealed his experiences over the years in a blink of an eye.

It's fine to poke it out. General Lin is now a high-ranking official and holds military power. Apart from being a general, he hasn't embarrassed his family. But what do you two come to propose marriage?

After staying at home for two days, she was frightened and hid in Ning'an Palace. Lin Xuan thought she was a good boy with a single-minded affection. At this moment, their prince is busy outside, so he can't lose the chain at this time.

Both parties have met their parents, and if they make any fools, he is going to die!

Even knowing that their sister-in-law would reject everyone, Lin Xuan still felt something was wrong. General Lin, who was lying alone in the back garden of the palace and watching the sky, felt that he should not have come to the capital was very unhappy.

The people in the capital are too unreserved. Think of them in Gusu, although the little girls are lively and cute, they are not like this.

This is not good, not good.

Tu Jingyang came back from the outside and couldn't help laughing when he saw General Lin lying on the rock and sighing, "Who made us General Lin angry again?"

Turning her head to look at Tu Jingyang, Lin Xuan was silent for a while, then sat up propped up, "When will things in the capital end?"

"It's still early, but it doesn't take that long for you and me to leave. We only need to wait another two months, and when those people have used all their family money to pay off the debts of previous generations, we can leave." Laughing Yi Yingying replied, Prince Ning'an sat on a stone bench not far away and made someone serve a pot of hot tea, "The sun is almost going down, is Ah Xuan still lying there?"

Youyou sighed, Lin Xuan blinked, then turned over and walked to Tu Jingyang, "Will you marry me?"

"Why did you suddenly think of this?" Pretending not to know what this person was worrying about, Tu Jingyang handed the hot tea to Lin Xuan's hand, then raised his eyes and continued, "Ah Xuan wants to get married?"

"What time is it, can't you be more serious?" He drank the tea in one gulp, but immediately stuck out his tongue after being burned, Lin Xuan pushed the person who approached him back, and then quickly took a few sips of cold water.

"It's not impossible to get married, but Ah Xuan needs to know that this king is a prince, and for the sake of the dignity of the royal family, he can't marry. If Ah Xuan is willing to marry into the palace, the princess seat is still reserved for you." Smiling, she looked at Lin Xuan , Tu Jingyang waved not far away, and asked people to come over to those mint leaves and give this person a bite.

Although it is not shocking for men to fall in love nowadays, it is rare to get married, let alone their identities. Tu Jingyang himself is not afraid of being criticized by the world, but Lin Xuan is not good, and the Lin family still has to survive in the court.

No matter how capable Lin Ruhai is, once he blatantly asks Ah Xuan to marry him, there will be rumors in the court that he will not hesitate to send his own brother to please the royal family for the sake of his future.

And Ah Xuan's achievements at the border before, probably disappeared in the minds of those blind people from time to time, he didn't want this person to bear the reputation of pampering.

The words just came out without thinking. Lin Xuan had a mint leaf in her mouth, and knew that things were not that simple, but it was not a lie that she felt uncomfortable.

What's even more disturbing is that those people went to his house to propose marriage, instead of coming to Ning'an Palace. If they came here, he could still laugh at it. Now that the matter is on him, why is it so unpleasant?

"Anyway, there's nothing to do in the capital, how about I go back to the northwest first?" Lin Xuan was a little unclear, lying on the table dejectedly, groaning twice and refusing to get up.

After patting this person's head twice, Prince Ning An didn't feel nervous, "Don't worry, I'm still here, if Ah Xuan really doesn't want to be disturbed at home, there's nothing I can do."

Sitting up nervously, Lin Xuan raised her eyes and looked over, "What do you want to do?"

Prince Ning An smiled harmlessly, "It's nothing to do, I looked at it in my spare time, and most of the people who want to marry the Lin family are on the list of the emperor's brothers. Even if Ah Xuan doesn't say anything, they won't have the energy Never mind that."

Looking over suspiciously, Lin Xuan squeezed her chin, "I'm so busy these days that I almost don't even have time to eat. Where do you find the spare time?"

"This..." Prince Ning An, who was caught in the loophole, was stunned, took a sip of tea and quickly returned to his usual indifference, "It's about Ah Xuan, so naturally we need time."

Go to yours!
