[Red House] But for the sake of the king

Tang took Daiyu into the sedan chair together, and was about to give orders to set off, when a young novice's voice came from a distance, "Benefactor, please stay, benefactor, please stay."

Tang said in a low voice, "Chun Yu, go and ask little master what's the matter."

Chun Yu came back after a while, holding a big red python satin bundle in her hand, "Old lady, this was sent by Master Abbot, who said it was for Miss."

Tang took the bag, looked at the contents, and was shocked after just one glance, and quickly asked, "Do you have anything else to say, Master?"

Chun Yu said, "The little master said that the abbot only asked him to hand over the burden to the old lady, and that the things inside were for the young lady. The little master also said that the abbot had two words to explain and put it inside."

Tang remained silent, stroking the items inside, and after a long time put the burden aside, and ordered the sedan chair to pick up.Daiyu's dark eyes rolled around, watching her grandmother's expression, and at the same time looking at the bundle next to her, stretching out her short arms to try to get it.Tang embraced her in his arms, and said with a light smile, "I can't wait? It was originally for you too. When you grow older, grandma will put it on for you again, okay?"

Daiyu nodded half-understood, everything grandma said was right, her father said, she must listen to her grandma.

When Lin Ruhai came back from the yamen, he saw Lin Sheng waiting at the door. Afraid that something might happen at home, he hurried a few steps, "What happened at home? Have the old lady and young lady come back?"

Lin Sheng replied, "Returning to the master, the old lady and young lady just came back, and the sedan chair entered the inner courtyard. Someone came from the capital, and the slave made his own decision and asked people to wait in the outer study."

Lin Ruhai never expected that someone would come from the capital. He had only been in Yangzhou for more than a month. Even if something urgent happened in the capital, the person who came would not be someone Lin Sheng didn't even know.

Hurrying to the study with suspicion, Lin Ruhai was shocked when he saw the man, and hurriedly sent Lin Sheng outside to guard the door himself, then turned around and closed the door of the study.

Lin Ruhai didn't exchange pleasantries, and asked immediately after coming up, "But what happened in Beijing?"

That one took out a letter from his chest, and the wax on it remained untouched, "Master Lin, this is given to you by the master's order."

Lin Ruhai quickly opened the letter, but read it in a few glances, "When did you leave the capital?"

The man replied, "Seven days ago."

Lin Ruhai looked at the contents of the letter again, hesitated to speak, and finally put the letter away again.After walking around for a while, Lin Ruhai said, "Go down and rest first, and I will have to trouble you tomorrow before going back."

The man cupped his hands and saluted, "I will follow your lord's orders."

Lin Ruhai opened the door and told Lin Sheng to tidy up a guest room and prepare a good horse and dry food.

Before leaving Beijing, Jun Qi had almost made up his plan to deal with the Tatar country, and was just waiting to choose the right time and candidate.No one knew that Lin Ruhai had not left for a long time, but there was news that the ruler of the Tatar kingdom was about to die, and the country had already started to turmoil.Jun Qi didn't want the old king to be unable to support him for a few more months, which caught him off guard.Although Tatar also has some manpower, if you want to persuade the Tatar prince, how can ordinary people be competent.In desperation, he thought of Lin Ruhai.

Lin Ruhai never expected that the ruler of the Tatar Kingdom would die two years later in his previous life, and he didn't react to such a change now.It seems that this life is not always the same as the previous life.On the contrary, what Jun Qixin mentioned was not difficult for him.Jun Qi already has a candidate he likes, all he has to do is persuade that person to come out of the mountain and serve the court.It's just that although this person has a great talent, he put aside his harsh words many years ago, took off his top hat, and retired to the mountains and forests. From then on, he refused to care about the mundane world, let alone serve the court.

But now the emperor has an order, even though he is asking for it in An Qing's capacity, Lin Ruhai will not be so confused as to take it seriously, no matter how difficult this matter is, he will definitely do it.Not for high-ranking officials and generous salary, not for the favor of the emperor, but for the soldiers and innocent people in the northwest.

That night, Lin Ruhai was writing furiously in the study, writing more than ten pages of letters before stopping.However, after watching it under the candlelight for a long time, they were all burned.That old man is a man with a bad temper. His pedantic words come from the bottom of his heart, but to the old man, they are nonsense and worthless.

At dawn, the eastern sky gradually turned white, dark and bright, with only a line of barrier left.A well-dressed man came out from the corner gate of Linfu, stepped on the BMW and drove out of the city.

Lin Ruhai rubbed the center of his brows, although he said in his reply that he was [-]% sure, but in fact he was less than [-]% sure.I just hope that for the sake of the Lin family, the old man can lend a helping hand and agree to this matter.Originally, he wanted to go back to rest for a while, but Lin Ruhai was lying on the bed, but nothing could compare to his eyes.As soon as he closed his eyes, he seemed to see the battlefield in the northwest, with broken limbs, arms, and ruins.He has never seen such a real scene, and even the magnificent scene of "Lonely Smoke in the Desert" only exists in his mind, but the tragedy at that time is actually and clearly imprinted in his mind, lingering go.Just the plain and monotonous narration of a few soldiers, Lin Ruhai can also think of such a real scene, if he is really in it, facing the flames of war and swords and guns in front of him, what kind of thrilling would it be?

That year, when the Northwest was in an emergency, the guard Shen Hanzhang sacrificed his life to go to the country, and took his family with him to commit suicide on the city wall.The iron hooves of the Tatars trampled on the land of the Central Plains, committing all kinds of evil wherever they went.The emperor was furious, and sent Shuijun, the king of Beijing, to dispatch an army of [-] to the northwest, intending to expel the Tartars from the country.Of course, after all, they underestimated the Tartar cavalry and overestimated the Celestial Army.Although King Beijing managed to defend the last barrier, he was seriously injured and failed to take back the fallen cities.

After all, Jun Qi was young and energetic, he was so angry when he received the memorial, he tried his best to resist all opinions, and the emperor personally conquered him.The morale of the army was greatly boosted for a while, and he finally drove the Tartars back. Although in the end he still failed to completely solve the serious problem as he wished, it brought about ten years of stability in the Northwest.It's just that in that battle, Jun Qi lost far more than what he showed on the surface.

Thousands of miles away in the capital, Jun Qi was busy dealing with the Tatar matter. Although he sent news to Lin Ruhai to help persuade the old man to come out of the mountain, he still couldn't hang himself on a tree.But when he was exhausted and busy looking for suitable candidates, another trouble came to his door.

The queen had no choice but to bring the matter up.She and the emperor were young couples, and naturally knew that he was the most impatient with these trivial matters, but she was really entangled tightly by Princess Zhongshun, and this matter was more serious than before.

It turned out that this morning, Concubine Zhongshun's eyes were red from crying again, and she ran into the palace with swollen walnut eyes to find the queen.She is only in her early twenties now, and she has been a royal daughter-in-law for a few years, but she has tasted the hardships.

Princess Zhongshun cried with pear blossoms on her face, "Sister-in-law, tell me, after all these years, what have I done wrong to make him dislike me so much. Even if I have made a big mistake, just tell me Me, can I change it? Anyway, no matter how bad it is, a letter of divorce has sent me away, which is actually a peace of mind. Why bother to sing and sing day and night, humiliating yourself. "

Since the queen was still a princess, she was often pestered by this younger brother and sister to vomit bitterness.In the past two years, King Zhongshun has become more and more absurd, which made her have a headache every time she saw Princess Zhongshun. "Okay, what are you doing crying like this? Wouldn't it be embarrassing for you to let the slaves see you? They are out to socialize outside, and they are just acting on the occasion. They can't be serious. Although the prince seems absurd, he is not too outrageous. Your family There is not even a side concubine, only a concubine referred to by the queen mother, it can be seen that the prince treats you sincerely."

Princess Zhongshun cried even more when she heard this, "Let me tell you the truth, it's not a play on the spot. Those little actors in the mansion are all his treasures."

The empress was dumbfounded, it turned out that the Concubine Zhongshun was concerned about her face and never understood what she said, she only vaguely said that the prince was messing around outside and men and women were not taboo.Now, at first glance, it brought people into the mansion. The queen, who had never encountered such a thing, was really frightened.From the palace to the palace, the emperor has always been indifferent to women, let alone masculinity.Although I have heard such rumors occasionally, in the inner court, even the few women who are close to me can't talk about it.Therefore, after thinking about it, the queen felt that this matter was not so serious, it would damage the reputation of the royal family, and she must not indulge King Zhongshun to continue to act like this.So it was very easy to comfort Princess Zhongshun, and after sending her away, the queen hurried to Qianyuan Hall.

Jun Qi is naturally clear about King Zhongshun's matter, but looking at the dignified and virtuous queen with a pale face, and embarrassing narration, Jun Qi feels that this matter is out of the question and must be dealt with as soon as possible.

As soon as Zhongshun Wang Junyou came in, he felt something was wrong. His brother was right with a smile on his face, but it was too creepy.This whole body's aura is no worse than that of the father, the strange reason is that he has taken the throne.So he said with a low eyebrow and pleasing to the eye, "Brother Huang, I don't know if there is something important that Brother Huang is so eager to find my younger brother."

Jun Qi came out from behind the table and said with a smile, "Sixth Brother, come and sit here. I haven't chatted with Sixth Brother for a long time, and today I have some free time, so I asked someone to cook a table of wine and vegetables. The two of us brothers Have a quick drink. Come."

Jun You's heart sank, and the smile on his face was almost unbearable. His good third brother hadn't talked with him over wine since he became the emperor. There must be something important today.But after thinking about it, he didn't do anything taboo. Why did the third brother of the emperor find him?Could it be that the third brother finally couldn't hold back and wanted to deal with it quickly?His absurd words and deeds can't stop the third brother's suspicion, so what should I do?

Jun You licked his face and followed, putting on a rascal's attitude, "That's a good thing, my brother was thinking about begging for a few cups of this year's imperial wine with the emperor, but I don't want to get my wish today." Without waiting for Jun Qi to speak, he spontaneously picked up the wine glass, drank it in one gulp, and finally smashed his mouth twice.It is worthy of Royal Wine, with a fragrance on the lips and teeth, and an endless aftertaste.

Jun Qi sat down in his robes, and laughed and cursed, "What rare things, if you want to just go to the inner mansion to get them. Look at your virtue, you can't drink if you don't have a relationship with your family. At least you are a prince, like this You don’t have to be afraid that others will look down on you if you are a pie. Alas, don’t just drink with one person, this drink is full of strength, be careful and you will get drunk after a while.”

Jun You didn't care about this, he had already drank three cups in succession while Jun Qi was talking, and said, "What are you afraid of, I have you as my backer anyway. Drinking is not about drinking tea, refreshment is the most important thing. Besides, if you Ruan Ji, Ji Kang and others, when they are intoxicated, their thoughts spring up, so it can be seen that they should be drunk when they drink alcohol. If they are not drunk, why drink alcohol, it is better to drink tea."

Jun Qi smiled strangely, "It's just nonsense. Dai Quan, order someone to send a few jars of imperial wine to Prince Zhongshun's residence."

Jun You hurriedly wanted to get up to thank you, but was stopped by Jun Qi, "An Sheng is serious about drinking your wine, we are all brothers in the same family, why bother."

Jun Youhan smiled and continued to drink, occasionally picked up a few peanuts and stuffed them into his mouth, and ate a few pieces of goose palm, feeling quite good.

Seeing him eating with satisfaction, Jun Qi couldn't help but think of Lin Ruhai, who used to be so absorbed in eating hard and didn't care about him at all.Fortunately, it was just a blink of an eye, but he still had something important to say.

When he was full of wine and food, Jun Qi took time to look at Jun You, whose cheeks were flushed and obviously drunk, and said leisurely, "Sixth Brother, Third Brother needs your help with something here, would you like it?"

Jun You patted his chest, and said inarticulately, "Didn't the third brother just say that we, our own brothers, one family, uh, don't talk, don't talk about the two families. What does the third brother have, uh, use it Brother, just say, brother will definitely do his best."

This is what Jun Qi waited for, "Okay, it really is my good brother. I will ask Dai Quan to deliver the secret decree to your house tomorrow, and drink this first."

Jun You was full of pride, smiled and finished, fell down on the table after two hehes, and actually fell asleep.Jun Qi asked Dai Quan to send him back in person, turned around and smiled happily with his servants behind his back.
