Queen of the Lin family in the Red Chamber

The transition from the previous dynasty was neither hasty nor slow, which can be called smooth.

Kant received a lot of teachings from Lin Ruhai in the early stage, and all of them are still the essence. In addition, since Kant succeeded to the throne, Lin Ruhai has become the chief assistant of the cabinet. When he stops there, the officials of the Lin faction will not speak first, and the rest of the other factions There is nothing to say about that.

What the emperor said is quite reasonable, why should he object?It's not the censor who takes pride in remonstrance...

Kant is also quite satisfied with this situation.

Why?Everything is decided by him, he is happy.

This is the way Lin Ruhai has to go. He has to make the imperial power highly centralized, and he has to hide all the civil servants under his command.

First, to prevent the emperor from tabooing him, and second, even if someone tries to overthrow him in the future, they will not be able to succeed.

He listened to the emperor.Besides, if someone wants to overthrow him, it must be due to his status, or the name of the chief minister of the cabinet, but there is a key point here. For the sake of power, later people must not be as "forbearing" and so active as he is. Decentralization, so... the emperor probably felt resentful after supporting the newcomers halfway.

After the 27-day suspension period, Kant sent Kang He’s eldest son, Fu Ling, to the funeral palace. This funeral palace was also newly built. His coffin was placed with the late emperor, and the late emperor might be angry.

But now that Kant has become the emperor, it is better for the first emperor to die.

Kant's reign as emperor was pretty good, and nothing went wrong step by step, and there would not be any major natural or man-made disasters during the period just after the new year, so it was considered a smooth transition.

But the harem is a bit of a hassle.

The fourth emperor in two years...

There are four groups of concubines alone, and the last group is currently only Wanyu, who is weak.However, the first three dials can be attributed to the general category of the first emperor's concubines, so... it is still very troublesome.

Because there is not enough space to live in, even if the empress dowager and the former empress who was deposed earlier were arranged to go to the cold palace, there is still not enough space.

The Supreme Emperor had no less than twenty concubines left, and the late emperor's concubines, who had been moved to the Royal Nunnery to be buried with them, still had more than ten left.

What is the division of the retirement area of ​​the Compassionate Ning Palace?

There are only two courtyards with names and surnames in this area, Ci Ning Palace and Shou Kang Palace.The Empress Dowager lives in the Compassionate Palace, and the Shoukang Palace will be vacated soon. If there are no accidents, this palace will be used for the former emperor's noble concubine, that is, the Wu family who has raised Kant for more than ten years.

The remaining places are six small courtyards with two entrances, and the small courtyards are only three rooms wide. Even if the side halls are added, and the residences of the maids and eunuchs are removed, only the concubine can enter one by one. Hard-pressed people can only have one room per person.

But another emperor died. Kang He didn't have many concubines, only a dozen or so concubines, but all of these dozen or so were lucky enough to live, in other words, they had to be raised until they died, so there wasn't enough space.

That would also have to move the palace, even if the inner twelve palaces plus the Kunning Palace were all owned by Wanyu, Kang He's concubine would also have to move out.

By the way, when thinking of this, Wanyu couldn't help being happy for a long time.She has been to Qianqing Palace, and she brought people to tidy up the Hall of Mental Cultivation according to Kant's preferences. I have to say that the place where the emperor lives is not as big as hers.

So happy, the rest is not a problem.

To change it, Wanyu called the eunuch from the Ministry of Internal Affairs to repair the Shoukang Palace.

Originally, this place was a courtyard with three entrances, five rooms wide, and side halls and supporting halls in the courtyard.After such a repair, the Wu family still lives alone in the main hall, and there are more than a dozen more people who can squeeze in the rest of the place.

In this way, the place is enough.

Having settled the most troublesome matter, Wanyu began to prepare for the greetings of the married woman in a few days.

Two days after Kang He's coffin left, something happened in Beijing.

To be exact, it was the daughter of the new Marquis General Zhao, who is still the concubine of the Seventh Emperor Uncle who is still a commoner, beat her pregnant side concubine Jia Shi, and then went home with the dowry .

General Zhao made a great contribution to leading troops to seal off the troops of King Qing outside Beijing at night when King Qing forced the palace. Kant said that he "although he didn't show his face in front of me, but I can't forget General Zhao's contribution."Because of this great contribution, General Zhao was promoted to marquis, and he also made his youngest son an earl who would not be able to become a prince in the future. As for General Zhao's only daughter, the emperor raised her treatment to the princess.

One must know that the Seventh Emperor Uncle is still a commoner now, and I don't know if the emperor didn't think about it or has other uses, he just forgot about him.

The cause of the incident is very simple. According to the servants of Prince Cheng's Mansion, it was because the side concubine was swaying in front of Mrs. Zhao with her belly of seven or eight months. From the bottom of my heart, I took out the whip made of snakeskin that General Zhao gave her earlier and whipped her.

Snake skin looked like snake skin before it was kneaded into a whip, but after it was kneaded into a whip, it was not much different from a real snake, so Jia was so frightened that she gave birth prematurely. There are only a few red marks on Shi's body, which are not very serious.

Jia Shi gave birth to a son, although it is less than a month old, but Jia Shi has a good background, so the child can be raised for a period of time.

However, the passage from the palace is very intriguing. For example, why did the princess, who had been claiming that she had a miscarriage due to fatigue, see Jia Shi angry from her heart?

But no matter what, after Mrs. Zhao packed up her dowry and went home, Jia's mansion also sent people to Lin's mansion. Perhaps it was because the boss was not very reliable in handling things several times, so this time only the second child's family came.Jia Zheng sat in Lin Ruhai's study, and Mrs. Wang went to the inner courtyard to meet Daiyu.

It would be a bit embarrassing for Jia Zheng to say this kind of thing, so he only picked up some words like not being a woman, being jealous, etc., then changed the subject and brought it to Jia Baoyu .

Jia Zheng was the only son left. Although he was beaten and scolded endlessly, and he was often reprimanded for not living up to expectations, he still hoped for his well-being from the bottom of his heart.So Jia Zheng said: "My son Baoyu is fourteen years old this year and has been studying in private schools for seven or eight years. I would like your advice."

Lin Ruhai smiled, but the words he said were not pleasant at all. "Well, when I'm old, it's reasonable to end. This year is Nkejiazhengke. According to His Majesty, the number of places will be [-]% more. Ping'er is also going to end this year. He came just so that two people can give each other advice. fan."

When it comes to Enke, I have to add that Kang and the emperor feel aggrieved.He came to power at the end of July last year, and died on New Year’s Eve. The emperor took office for five months. The two most important things for the emperor to come to power: Enke and the draft. Enke was supposed to be held in August. The time is too tight. During this period, he didn't catch up with any of them.

What Lin Ruhai said was commonplace, but it didn't make much sense to Jia Zheng's ears.Jia Baoyu had to start with the county test!

Rongfu had a place that could directly participate in the official imperial examination, but it was a pity that Jia Lian used it.

Jia Zheng's face suddenly became a little unhappy. Lin Ruhai is already the Duke of the state, and his son's fate will naturally start directly from the provincial examination. It depends on Juren, and Jia Baoyu is a student in the examination...the two are not on the same level. Even the content of the test is different...

In other words, one is still learning two-digit addition, subtraction and multiplication, and the other has already started to learn introductory calculus.

Jia Zheng laughed twice, feeling a little ashamed, and changed the subject.

The atmosphere in the backyard was not so harmonious.

Mrs. Wang was crying with snot and tears, and she wanted to touch La Daiyu's hand, but she was avoided.This skill is also learned from Wanyu. When meeting an elder who doesn't want to talk to her, there must be more maids and nurses around her, and she must be able to stand up at critical moments.

So Mrs. Wang pulled it twice to get a handkerchief and a teacup, and then stopped temporarily.

The topic at the beginning was quite normal, first I said that I wanted to ask Wanyu to make the decision.This Daiyu has already been mentally prepared, saying that if her sister becomes the queen, then everyone will pounce on her.Earlier, my father came here once when he became the Duke of the state.

"Your sister has been wronged." Mrs. Wang cried. When she came back with the piano to report the news, Mrs. Wang was also frightened. The young lady was whipped, and now she can't get out of bed. The child was born prematurely, crying like a kitten Yes, every word is really heart-wrenching.

Daiyu's eyelids twitched, my sister was acting like a queen. "Cousin, she..." With a demeanor that hesitated to speak, her eyebrows frowned slightly, "After all, it's a concubine."

There are many words here, for example, refer to Jia Zheng's two aunts.

"It's the side concubine." Mrs. Wang emphasized.

Daiyu thought, if she continued to entangle with Mrs. Wang with such a "concubine" and "side concubine", if it took enough time, would she be able to send her away directly.

It's a pity that I can't, but Mrs. Wang cried for about a quarter of an hour during the previous meal.Daiyu counted the time, guessing that Lin Ruhai's conversation was about the same, so she gave Wang Momo a wink.

"Girl, it's time to learn the rules." Although Nanny Wang was from the Jia family, she belonged to the Jia Min faction, so naturally she had a deep grudge with Mrs. Wang.This sentence is very impolite, "In two days, the married woman will go to the palace to pay her respects. Wouldn't it be better if you go and tell the empress yourself?"

After Mammy Wang finished speaking, the mammy from Lin Ruhai came to send word that Jia Zheng had already left, and the carriage had already been set up outside the door.

The two people from the Jia family returned without success. Lin Ruhai felt that this was a little troublesome, so he decided to create some trouble for the Jia family. A black spot dragged down by the Yue family.

Every family has two or three poor relatives, so Lin Ruhai set his hands on the Jia family.

Not two days later, the waifu formally started.

Wanyu is still living in the side hall of the Hall of Mental Cultivation, but she has already received the ceremony in the Hall of Jiaotai.This place is the place where the queen accepts worship, and Wanyu has been waiting in the hall since she got up early in the morning.
