The Founding of the Red Chamber

Lin Jing went to Xie Guogong's mansion to have a birthday banquet, but he didn't really enjoy it.This kid is born to show off and make decisions, and he wishes he could speak for the family. If Lin Yi is not around, everyone may still think of him as a little guy. Now that Lin Yiming is ostentatiously displayed in Cheng'en Gong's mansion, no one takes Lin Jing seriously .

Therefore, Lin Jing went there with high spirits, but returned disappointed.He said to Lin Yi dejectedly, "I just had a few glasses of wine, and the Xie family didn't tell me anything."

Lin Yi was also slightly surprised, but immediately felt relieved, and smiled, "I didn't say anything, I didn't say anything, what are you like, can't you wait for Xie's family to talk to you? Once Xie's family speaks, we can't refuse, it will make the queen mother It's embarrassing." Empress Dowager Lin didn't want to pay more attention to the affairs of Emperor Zhaode's harem.What's more, about Empress Xie's confinement, Emperor Zhaode thought he had other plans.

Lin Jing sighed and said to himself, I am not free.

Lin Yi's father was also very helpless about Lin Jing's desire to take care of things, and said to him, "Where did you go in your studies? I haven't checked your homework for several days."

Lin Jing yawned and challenged Lin Yi, "I just came back from a banquet, I haven't combed my clothes, I haven't changed my clothes, and I haven't taken a sip of water. Big brother doesn't say he cares about me, but he still has to test my homework. It's really useless." Friendship."

Lin Yi smacked his butt twice, and Lin Jing laughed, "There is love, there is love."

Lin Yi heard that he smelled slightly alcoholic, and asked, "Have you had alcohol?"

"I didn't eat it. Others ate it. I watched it." Lin Jing quickly confessed himself, "Big Brother said he wouldn't let me drink alcohol, how could I eat it?" That small appearance, not to mention how cute it is.

Lin Yi lifted Lin Jing up to his nose and smelled it. In fact, he didn't smell alcohol at all, but Lin Jing rolled his eyes and closed his small mouth tightly. The idiot could see that he was guilty.Lin Yi asked again, "Did you really drink?"

Lin Jing spoke very hard, "I really didn't drink it, but the duck was stuffed with Dao wine. I ate a piece, and my mouth smelled bad. I have to rinse my mouth quickly, and hold some more fragrant slices." As he spoke, he called Ya Ring in to serve.Eager to destroy evidence.

Lin Yi repeatedly reminded, "You are still young, you are not allowed to drink, you know that?" Everyone has had incidents of boys stealing alcohol, and Lin Yi has experienced it, so he just ordered Lin Jing.

Lin Jing brushed his little deciduous teeth with tooth powder, put a piece of incense in his mouth again, and said, "I don't always remember what big brother said."

"What kind of fragrant slices are in it, it's so beautiful." Lin Yi said.

Lin Jing shook his head and said triumphantly, "I have a wife now, and I will have to go to my mother-in-law's house in the future. Of course, I must pay attention to my appearance. If I am unkempt, I will embarrass my elder brother."

Lin Yi couldn't stop laughing at him, touched Lin Jing's crotch, and teased him, "I see how old he is."

Lin Jing was shy and kept saying, "Don't touch it, don't touch it!"

Not only did Lin Yi touch it, but he also unbuttoned Lin Jing's trousers to look at it, and smiled meaningfully, "You're still young, and you'll have to wait a few years before getting married."

Lin Jing was ashamed and angry, his face was flushed, and he hurriedly pulled up his trousers and tied his belt, while shouting in a manly voice, "Sooner or later, I will grow bigger than my big brother!"

Lin Yi laughed, watching Lin Jing tidying up his clothes for a long time, thinking that this kid was used to being served in the palace since he was a child, so he stretched out his hand to straighten his clothes, Lin Jing took the opportunity to touch it back, giggling .Lin Yi looked at him like that, and said, "I don't even know how to wear clothes. In the future, don't ask the maid to help you get dressed. You will wear them yourself, you know?"

Lin Jing said, "Who said I can't? I can even comb my own hair!" He suddenly became interested again and said, "Big brother, let me comb your hair."

Lin Yi smiled, "You can do it yourself."

"I'll comb it for big brother." Lin Jing has always been sweet and coaxing, "Big brother loves me so much, I thought, even if daddy is alive, that's all. I don’t know how to express it so that the elder brother can understand the heart of the younger brother. So, today the elder brother asks me to help you comb your hair.”

Lin Yi felt goosebumps all over his body when he said this, and said, "If you are stupid, I will be dumb."

Lin Jing had already run to get the little jade comb he used to comb his hair, and pushed Lin Yi to sit on the couch. He took off his shoes, untied the crown belt on Lin Yi's head, and gave Lin Yi Yi squeezed his shoulders and said, "It's at home again, big brother is still dressed so neatly, what is he doing with this crown, it's strange."

Lin Yi said, "In my own home, don't I need to dress properly? If the master is free, the slaves will be slack."

Lin Jingsheng rebelled, saying, "A slave's lack of slack does not depend on his master's untidy clothes. If he is a fool, even if he dresses neatly every day, people still don't take him seriously. The key to managing a family is the rules. Big Brother When you are young, don't follow the old-fashioned way."

Lin Yi smiled, "It's enough to have you in the family who are not rigid. If everyone is not rigid, the roof will blow off."

"The roof is blown off, it's not built well." Lin Jingpo said, frowning, "Why does my brother have a rotten smell on his head!"

"Nonsense, I just washed my hair last night and used that flower lotion."

Lin Jing giggled, leaning his big head in Lin Yi's ear, with a smirk, "It's jasmine dew, sister-in-law uses jasmine fragrance, I can smell it right away."

Lin Yi was used to being dignified, and when he saw Lin Jing being mischievous again, he said, "Don't you want to comb your hair, do it quickly."

Lin Jing put one arm in front of Lin Yi and asked, "Big brother, do you know what kind of incense I use?"

Lin Yi said in a deep voice, "Boy, don't make it smell fragrant all day long, you are not allowed to use these in the future."

"Can you smell it?" Lin Jing urged while combing Lin Yi's long hair.Lin Yi didn't want to talk to him at first, so Lin Jing grabbed his hair and made trouble, so Lin Yi could only say, "Didn't you use lotus incense?"

Lin Jing combed Lin Yi's hair hastily, tied him into a bun with a hair band, and said, "Big Brother, I'll comb it for you."

Lin Yi played with him for a while, touched the bun on his head, it was not crooked, got up and said, "You rest, I'll go to the study."

Lin Jing immediately expressed his willingness to follow, and said obediently, "Big brother is busy with business, I can serve tea, or grind ink and spread paper, and I can help big brother share his worries."

"Didn't you just scream tired?" Lin Yi said, "I haven't combed my hair, I haven't changed my clothes, and I haven't taken a sip of water." He repeated Lin Jing's words.

Lin Jing grinned, "Originally I was tired, but when I think about how busy my elder brother is as the head of the family, I am very filial to my elder brother, so once this filial heart breaks out, I will not be tired." gone."

Lin Yi was amazed, and thought to himself, our old Lin family has been loyal and good for generations, how did we give birth to such a smooth-talking guy!Originally he didn't want Lin Jing to follow him, but he thought that Lin Jing's temperament was too flexible, so it would be good to take Lin Jing by his side to teach him some ways of being loyal to the emperor and a good minister, so he nodded and agreed.Of course, it can't be ruled out that it's because Lin Jing's sweet words made him happy. After all, good things are not always liked by everyone, but everyone likes to hear them. Even the well-known elder brother, Mr. Cheng Engong, Lin Yi, can't be exempt. .

Lin Jing was very happy, put on his shoes neatly, and went to the study with Lin Yi.

Xie Guogong is indeed not in a hurry about the Empress Xie's matter. Rather than confining Empress Xie, Xie Guogong spent some effort to keep the seat of Xie Zhifu in Jinling.Prefect Xie is also unlucky. He has a background and is an old fritter in the officialdom. He managed to get the seat of prefect of Jinling. He built bridges and paved roads to do good deeds. There were gang fights, and dozens of people died, including the prefect. He went in and slapped him in the face.If it weren't for the presence of Xie Guogong in the court, the magistrate Xie would have to be dismissed to apologize.

Xie Guogong first secured the official position of the prefect of Xie, and uncharacteristically stopped asking Empress Xie.

This is a very bad sign.

Shu Jingyun's comment on this is, "If Xie Guogong's government wants to advance and return first, it's better if it has other plans, it is really not a blessing for the country."

"Other plans? Is there anything more dignified than becoming the emperor's surrogate?" Lin Jing said, "The direct prince has already been established as the crown prince." An old family like Xie Guogong's mansion, a wealthy family in the imperial capital, is different from those duckweeds with no roots .Once you become the emperor's kinsman, your strength will inevitably be further improved.Therefore, Lin Jing believes that if there is an opportunity to support the crown prince, Duke Xie's mansion will not waste it.

Shu Jingyun said, "Your Majesty is still young, and more princes will be born in the future, not to mention, the prince can be deposed immediately. Queen Xie is so unfavored, it is right for Xie Guogong to think of a way to retreat. However, His Majesty If you don’t care about the crown prince’s dignity, it will inevitably chill the hearts of Duke Xie.” At the age of the crown prince’s first enlightenment, his biological mother was banned, since the queen mother is still alive, he should be handed over to the queen mother to raise him, which is also a guarantee for the prince’s status.However, Emperor Zhaode only stopped at choosing the heirs of important officials of the family for the prince to accompany the reading, and the rest did not take any action.The prince is still so young, the palace is dangerous, and there is no one to take care of him, it is difficult to guess whether Emperor Zhaode has other intentions.

Lin Yi said, "Let's wait and see." Anyway, there is no daughter of the Lin family as a concubine in the palace, let alone a prince who is related to the Lin family.As long as Empress Dowager Lin's position in the palace is stable, the Lin family is happy to stand on dry shore.

On the other hand, Emperor Zhaode, although he did not have the qualities of a Mingjun, he inherited ten percent of the emperor's suspicion.The prince fell ill one after another, Xie's family just invited An Zhezi as usual, and the rest did not express anything, Emperor Zhaode couldn't help but have many doubts.The Empress Dowager Lin rewarded some medicines as usual and ordered the Tai Tai Hospital to treat the Prince with all her heart.When Emperor Zhaode paid his respects to Empress Dowager Lin, he mentioned the prince's body, and he really sighed a few times.Empress Dowager Lin said, "Even the prince can't take care of him well, so I should have blamed the prince's courtiers. But I thought about it, these palace guards are used by the prince, and if they change to new ones, if they don't know the prince's temper, it will be unattractive." Women and Taoists always have no idea like this. The emperor should look at the distribution. Even at the imperial hospital, the emperor asked more urgently. The crown prince is the prince of a country. It's worrying."

What Emperor Zhaode could say, he didn't want Empress Dowager Lin to get close to the princes, and guarding against Empress Dowager Lin was like guarding against thieves.At this time, Empress Dowager Lin would naturally not ask the Holy Mother to give him any advice.

It was still Tang Ying who persuaded, "The prince is the grandson of Xie Guogong's mansion, and even his majesty's own son. Could it be that the prince is honored because of his family? The prince is honored because he is of the royal blood. The prince has been sick repeatedly. According to Yichen, It's because the prince is still young and needs to be taken care of by his mother. After all, no matter how thorough the palace is, they are not his biological mother."

Emperor Zhaode kept his mouth shut, although he didn't want to express his dissatisfaction with Empress Xie in front of his confidants, Emperor Zhaode never meant to lift Empress Xie's ban.

Tang Ying sighed, "Then it's better to hand over the prince to Shou'an Palace for the time being."

Emperor Zhaode immediately said, "My empress is getting older, and her energy is not as good as before."

Tang Ying knew that Emperor Zhaode was very wary of Empress Dowager Lin, but now that the middle palace is still in place, there is absolutely no reason to entrust the crown prince to the concubine.Moreover, no matter what, Empress Dowager Lin is a serious aunt who has been in charge of the palace for many years. Even Tang Ying cannot guarantee whether what he said to Emperor Zhaode in the imperial study will reach the ears of Empress Dowager Lin.

To Tang Ying, the king's suspicion is too serious.Empress Dowager Lin has been in power, but in that situation, if Empress Dowager Lin is not in power, the power will inevitably fall into the hands of powerful officials.Empress Dowager Lin has been in power for ten years, and when Emperor Zhaode was in charge, she handed over the power quite happily, she is already a rare magnanimous person.If it is a powerful minister who is regent, how can there be such a good thing!The birth of Emperor Zhaode is the most important thing to guard against Empress Dowager Lin!

Tang Ying said sternly, "I heard that Concubine Xie has a virtuous reputation."

Emperor Zhaode hesitated, after all Concubine Xie's surname was also Xie.Tang Ying lifted his clothes and knelt down, and said in a deep voice, "Your Majesty, forgive me for speaking bluntly. The queen was banned from the palace and never left home! The crown prince is still young, and his jade body is not in harmony now! I have the courage to ask your majesty, the prince will be replaced by the empress." When you take care of him, do you get sick so often?"

Although Empress Xie was a bit stupid, she was always careful with her son, even Emperor Zhaode had to admit that the prince was always healthy and healthy when he was with the empress.Tang Ying was a close minister of the imperial court, and by looking at his face, he knew how much Emperor Zhaode was thinking, so he continued, "No minister can speculate about the affairs of the palace! But now, the crown prince has no one to take care of. Forgive me, if something unexpected happens One, how will His Majesty explain to the world! Even if His Majesty is not afraid of the world's words, and the pen of history is like a knife, how can future generations talk about His Majesty's eternal reputation!"

Since ancient times, no emperor has cared about fame.Emperor Zhaode sighed, "I know you are thinking of me, get up, I'll ask someone to ask Concubine Xie. Concubine Xie is alone in the imperial capital, so it is not too much to invite Concubine to stay in the palace for a while."

It is human nature to be unexpected, Concubine Xie said that the illness has not yet arrived.This is also easy to understand. The queen mother is the grandmother, and the queen is not right. The prince should be taken over by the queen mother.However, Emperor Zhaode did not hand over the crown prince to the Empress Dowager to take care of. Who is Concubine Xie, and she contributed a lot to the expelling of the Xiangyang Palace.How could Concubine Xie go into the palace to take care of the crown prince? If she went, she would have slapped Empress Dowager Lin in the face.The Xie family and the Lin family have always had friendship, and Concubine Xie and Empress Dowager Lin have a very close personal relationship, not to mention Concubine Xie, even Duke Xie's mansion is unwilling to offend Empress Dowager Lin.

Before Concubine Xie arrived, the crown prince fell ill and died within three days.

Emperor Zhaode finally understood what it means to be unable to argue with a hundred mouths. In the words of Empress Dowager Lin, "He should understand some principles of the world!" He thought that being an emperor would really rule the world, what a joke!

What is the prince!

The crown prince is the emperor's son!

Do you think that Duke Xie's mansion must be the prince's grandson!Could it be that the prince's surname is Xie?

Shut up the queen, and then used the prince's safety to test Xie Guogong's mansion, I don't know what to say!
