The Founding of the Red Chamber

Never mind that on weekdays, Lin Jing would often run to Mr. Xie, shouting affectionately at each old Mr. Guo.Xie's family has always been close to Lin Jing. When Xie Guogong mentioned Lin Jing, he always said "Ah Jing is the elder and Ah Jing is the shortest", as if Lin Jing was his own grandson.However, when the two families used their means, no one thought about getting close on weekdays.The Xie family wanted to gain a big head in politics, how could the Lin family be willing to be marginalized, the Xie family wanted to promote Concubine Li and the third prince, and the Lin family wanted to push Concubine Kong Guifei to the position.

As for whether Concubine Kong Gui is indifferent or not, at this time, Concubine Kong Guifei, who has no biological children, has to consider the family's position.

As for the Kong family, Yanshenggong family in Shandong, let alone have nothing to do with the Lin family, Lin Yi and Lin Jing's eldest sister, Lin Chun, married the Xu family in Shandong. It has been around for a long time.The mother-in-law of Lin Chun's direct relative is the sister of Kong Guogong, who is now Yan Shenggong!

Whether the Kong family has political ambitions, or whether the Kong family is not ambitious, but there is no family that does not need the reputation brought by the latter, especially a family like the Kong family that relies on saints.No matter how scholarly it is to pass on to the world on weekdays, it will never fail to pay attention to the posthumous position.

This is not a concubine, not a concubine, but a concubine!

Mother of the country!

Concubine Concubine Kong has no children, and the Kong family still needs the reputation of descendants.

The Lin family cited the Kong family as an ally, and no matter which one of these two families competed with the Xie family, they were inferior. However, if the two formed an alliance, the Xie family had to weigh their weight.More importantly, Concubine Kong Gui is a wonderful person. She has no son, but she has won the trust of Emperor Zhaode, has a high status and a good reputation.Apart from not having a son, Concubine Kong Gui really forced concubine Kang Li into three mountains.

Even Xie Guogong felt bad when he saw that the Lin family had originally asked Concubine Kong Guifei to be his queen.

Everyone knows about Emperor Zhaode's temperament, if Concubine Kong Guifei had a parent-child, Emperor Zhaode must be jealous of this request.Concubine Kong Guifei had no children, and now the harem is becoming more and more chaotic, and Emperor Zhaode is seriously ill. At this time, Emperor Zhaode will rely on Concubine Kong Guifei to take charge of the harem.When Rong Zhen lost power, Concubine Kang Li stood out in the harem as a concubine with a son. Even though Concubine Kang Li had always been honest, according to Emperor Zhaode's suspicions, it was impossible not to think about whether it was a situation where the fisherman made a profit.

At this moment, one can imagine how much the childless Concubine Kong Gui won the trust of Emperor Zhaode.

The Lin family's chess move is really wonderful.

When Xie Guogong was in court, his heart sank, and he felt that something was wrong.After returning home, they convened a meeting of the staff and discussed for half a day, but there was no good way to deal with it. It can be seen that the Lin family's move to nominate Concubine Kong Gui at this time was really a top-notch skill.

Fortunately, although they have some disagreements with the Lin family in politics, the two families are not enemies after all.Xie Guozheng was thinking of how to resolve this situation, but he didn't want to, and when he stayed in the evening, Lin Xiaosi swaggered to Xie's house with his eldest grandson Xie Changyun.Seeing Lin Jing's grinning appearance, Xie Guogong cursed "monkey boy" in his heart, and said with a smile, "Oh, Ah Jing, why are you here when you have time?"

Lin Jing said with a smile, "I'll come over to see you, old man, and see if you're angry with me again."

Xie Guogong was puzzled, "Why should I be angry?"

"Then I can rest assured." Lin Jing smiled, "It is strange to say that your heart is as broad as the sea, and it is true."

Xie Guogong glared at Lin Jing and said, "You have given me a difficult problem."

Lin Jing talked with Xie Guogong's grandparents in the house. Xie Guogong retreated his attendants and said to Lin Jing, "Don't think too much about it. I know a little bit about your family's thoughts. Let's open the skylight and tell the truth. Concubine Kong Guifei is indeed born. Your status and virtuous name are impeccable, but, Ah Jing, you have always been smart. At this time, Concubine Kong Guifei took the throne. Then, the three princes are all concubines, and each prince has a biological mother. How will the prince treat the Lin family in the future? What about the Kong family?"

Lin Jing didn't take it seriously, "I think the old man knows how the Lin family is treated today."

Xie Guogong was slightly surprised, and looked at Lin Jing, "You and Lin Guogong are not like short-sighted people."

Lin Jing looked frankly, "What will happen in the future is also a matter of the future. I can't take care of it now, so I can't take care of the future." The Lin family is no stranger to a creature like the emperor. Have you considered the feelings of the future prince?But, no matter what, if the Xie family is now the dominant family and the Lin family is pushed out of the power center, what kind of status will the Lin family have in the future?

Xie Guogong looked at Lin Jing silently, and Lin Jing said, "The Lin family is willing to bear the dissatisfaction of the higher authorities in the future."

Xie Guogong waved his hand, "Ah Jing is also too pessimistic. According to the wisdom of your brothers, there must be a time when the roc will spread its wings."

Lin Jing dared to come to the Xie family because he discussed it at home. Although the Xie family was willing to push the third prince born to Concubine Kang Li to the throne, they were not necessarily willing to see the Kang family become another Rong family.At this time, using Concubine Kong Gui to suppress Concubine Kang Li had little impact on the interests of the Xie family.On the contrary, Xie Guogong, who praised the outstanding Lin brothers, also thought of a clever plan, and said a few words to Lin Jing in a pleasant manner. Xie Guogong had already decided that if Concubine Kong Guifei could take over the position, the Kang family would not be able to say anything right now, but in the future it would be the third prince. , the Kang family must be dissatisfied with the Kong family and the Lin family who cut off peace today.

For the Xie family, this is of no benefit at all.

Lin Jing came to Xie's house in person, the key point is that Lin Jing told Xie Changyun everything that should be said.

Xie Changyun said to his grandfather, "Lin Xiaosi means that the Lin family is really difficult now. After the Queen Mother Lin passed away, the Lin family is no longer what it used to be. Although Lin Guogong was promoted because of his military exploits, he is now only a third-rank military officer. The Lin family is really unwilling In this way, he was squeezed out of the first-class dignitaries and fell into the second-rate. I think the Lin family is indeed a little concerned about the immediate meaning. Otherwise, Lin Yi has always kept a low profile, how could he invite the queen so high-profile."

Xie Guogong lowered his eyelids slightly, and said for a long time, "Look at the timing of the Lin family's attack, so you shouldn't underestimate them. Even if you only look at the present, who can say for sure what will happen in the future."

"Grandfather means..."

"The imperial court is such a big place. If the Lin family and the Kong family want to squeeze in, someone must be squeezed out. The land vacated by the Rong family and the Zhen family has been seized by the Lin and Kong families." Xie Guogong said, " Your Majesty has always been suspicious, this time, the Kang family will have to wait." Originally, Xie Guogong wanted to move the Kang family to the imperial capital to serve as the governor of the imperial capital vacated by Zhen Xian.

Xie Changyun said, "Nothing is more important than the third prince."

"Yes." Xie Guogong nodded to his eldest grandson with satisfaction, "At first I thought the Lin family would be more inclined to the Zhen family, but no, the Lin family has other plans. As long as they agree on the matter of the third prince, it doesn't matter to let the Lin family go. In this world , without the Lin family, there will be another family. Compared with other families, the friendship between our family and the Lin family is longer."

As long as there is no fundamental conflict of interests between the Schellings, it is not difficult to coexist.

When Lin Jing went home and mentioned Xie Guogong to his eldest brother and Mr. Shu, he said, "Xie Guogong has seen through the weakness of our family, and knows that this action has actually offended the third prince."

"Since the Xie family has seen through it, I think I would like our family to be this villain in the future." Shu Jingyun calmly said, "If the Kang family's dissatisfaction is brought to our family, the Xie family is willing to see this situation. Otherwise, the Kang family When I wake up, I am afraid that the first person who will be an eyesore is the Xie family."

Lin Jing inquired with his elder brother, "Brother, what does Your Majesty say about the succession?"

Lin Yi said, "Your Majesty is not very stable. He called me to speak, but he took medicine and fell into a deep sleep, so I stepped back first."

Lin Jing thought for a while, then sneered, "Your Majesty's temper has changed quite a bit due to his illness." In the past, He had called his elder brother alone to talk, but most of the time he would praise a few empty words in front of Empress Dowager Lin. There is no reuse, let alone private summons.

Lin Yisu straightened his face and said, "Your Majesty is the king of a country, so your words must be respectful."

Lin Jing secretly rolled his eyes, not arguing with his elder brother about this.Anyway, what he can't do the most is superficial writing.

Lin Yi saw you the next day.

Emperor Zhaode's cheeks were thin, and he was a little out of shape, and he no longer had the high spirits of the previous emperors.However, the emperor's eyes are still sharp.Lin Yi respectfully and meticulously saluted, Emperor Zhaode was neatly dressed, leaning against the bed, motioning to Lin Yi, "Ah Yi is not an outsider, sit down."

Lin Yi saluted again, and sat on an embroidered stool beside him. Emperor Zhaode said, "I have read your memorial. Hey, tell me, what do you think."

Lin Yi never spoke much, but now he is concise and to the point. There is only one sentence, "I feel that your Majesty is sick and distracted, and Concubine Kong Guifei was praised by her aunt. I don't understand the affairs of the palace, but I think about it." , my aunt's vision has always been good, so I'm going to be bold."

Emperor Zhaode's eyes were gloomy, and after a long time he let out a long sigh, and without another word, he just waved his hands, causing Lin Yi to retreat.
