[Red House] But for the sake of the king

This time Jun Qi made his southern tour, showing a playful attitude.First, I went to Shandong by land, stopping several times along the way, and took a group of accompanying ministers to inspect the scenery, but actually to enjoy the scenery.Concubine Zhen and the third prince were traveling with the driver, and Jun Qi specially ordered the Zhen family to prepare to pick him up, which made everyone feel anxious.How many years have been talking about the establishment of the crown prince, and the emperor keeps pushing it back.Now that he is going on a tour, he only brought the imperial concubine and the third prince with him, and the elder brother of the imperial concubine picked him up. Could it be that he wants to confirm whether the crown prince has been selected?

Officials who do this have naturally become elites.The emperor's intentions cannot be clearly asked. Dai Quan, who is the emperor's close attendant, and Lin Ruhai, the most respected university scholar, naturally became the target of public criticism.It's a good thing that Dai Quan follows Jun Qi every day and has to wait on him at any time.It's just that Lin Ruhai has suffered so much, dealing with those old foxes every day, even he can't understand the real and the fake.

This day, he sent away another colleague who came to inquire about the truth. Lin Ruhai let out a long breath, feeling like he was lifting a rock to shoot himself in the foot.At that time, it was his idea to let Concubine Zhen and the third prince accompany him, and it was also to let the Zhen family relax their vigilance, but unexpectedly, it caused so many disputes.After finally resting for a while, Lin Ruhai thought of her daughter whom she hadn't seen much since leaving Beijing, so she planned to go to see Daiyu.Most of the people driving were men, so it was inconvenient for Daiyu to follow Lin Ruhai, but fortunately, the whole family of King Beijing Jing drove with her, because she was in the same place with Princess Beijing Jing.

It's just that Lin Ruhai had just stepped over the threshold, and another person came in front of him, and it was Dai Quan.

"Oh, Mr. Lin, you should go and have a look, the emperor is very angry, and he is in a hurry to let the servant come to invite you." Dai Quan didn't care about what to say, he pulled Lin Ruhai and ran back.

Lin Ruhai was at a loss, "Eunuch Dai, walk slowly, if everything is fine, something happened."

"Lord Lin, don't stop, let's talk as we walk." Dai Quan said anxiously, "I don't know what happened, and the emperor just read the report of the capital as usual, and I don't know what happened." I got angry for nothing. After a while, I asked Prince Zhongshun and Prince Beijing to go with you."

That probably has nothing to do with him, Lin Ruhai is a little relieved, as long as the fire doesn't burn on his head.When he arrived, King Beijing had already arrived, and Jun Qi looked calm, not at all as angry as Dai Quan said.Looking at the pattern spread out on the table, it is the defense map of the northwest and northeast.

Before Lin Ruhai finished asking for peace, Jun Qilian waved his hands, "Don't come to those useless people, Shui Jun is not an outsider."

Lin Ruhai got up as expected, and came to the table to look.There is no sand table here, and Jun Qi is actually marking it with chess pieces. It looks like he is going to send troops to the northeast. "But what happened to Baekje?"

Jun Qi said, "Goryeo has fought against Baekje and Silla in the past few years, and they can't tell the difference. The year before last, Silla changed a queen, and made friends with the king of Baekje and formed an alliance. Now they are not only planning to defend, but also want to attack Goryeo."

"Are you trying to reap the benefits?"

"Yes or no, once they really make a big fuss, the Northeast side will be affected, and we naturally have to take precautions. But in this way, it will be hard to say on the Zhen family's side. Once Baekje is in turmoil, it will be beyond our reach." , they must only care about one side. It’s just that if the other side is broken, I don’t know if Zhen Guang will continue to proceed as planned.” Jun Qi held a chess piece and couldn’t settle for a long time, “Letter from Yeluqi, the Zhen family We got in touch with Yelvding again, saying that we will also form an offensive and defensive alliance."

Shui Jun said, "If you want me to say that the Zhen family doesn't necessarily listen to everything there. To be honest, the Jiangsu and Zhejiang areas are more than a hundred times stronger than that little Baekje, and Zhen Guang may not like it. And Zhen The ancestors of the family have been passed down for four or five generations. Is it possible that they are still so loyal to the motherland? I am afraid that the Zhen family only regards Baekje as a way out, and the real goal may fall on the third prince. As for the Tatar , You can probably guess what his plan is. It’s just that Yeluqi is the king of Tatars now, and because of the same reasons as back then, he probably won’t agree easily.”

Lin Ruhai said, "My lord is justified. Although the Zhen family has always been in contact with Baekje, given the national power of Baekje, I am afraid that they may not have the courage to do such a rebellious thing. Besides, they are not safe now, even if the Zhen family helps The third prince became the crown prince, and the emperor is at the height of his power, so it doesn't help Baekje much."

Jun Qi smiled and said, "That's not the case, that's why he wants to get rid of me. When the time comes, the master will be less suspicious, and the Zhen family will inevitably become bigger, and the emperor will not be in charge of military and state affairs. And if someone with Baekje blood When a man becomes an emperor, one day he will hold great power and tell the world, it is not the same as Baekje's invasion and occupation of our country."

Lin Ruhai retorted, "But what are they planning? Forgive me for being presumptuous, but they really want to assassinate the emperor. Is it easy to break through this layer of guards? And there are precedents before, how can you give them a chance? It is even more absurd to say that the third prince with Baekje blood is the emperor. Could it be that Baekje conquered our dynasty? Not to mention whether the third prince will be obedient and tell everyone He is a Baekje in the world."

Jun Qi complained, "How do I know, he insists on hitting the egg against the rock, and he can't stop it. When he becomes a prisoner, I must ask him clearly. How good it is to be the president of his body, It's not like these moths come out."

Shui Jun thought to himself, if everyone could be satisfied, there would be no crimes in this world.However, he couldn't help blaming the Zhen family for having too many farts, which made it so difficult for him to go out for a visit and to advise the emperor.

The discussion among the three was in full swing, and King Zhongshun arrived slowly, but he was dressed in casual clothes.Jun Qi couldn't see his relaxed look, so he couldn't help stabbing him a few words, "Lao Liu, you are so leisurely, and you are going to Yingyingyanyan's place again, and I can't even send someone to invite you. It can be seen that You are lucky, I am so anxious that I can barely eat any more food."

Junyou looked ashamed, it was exactly what he was talking about.He had just come back from listening to the play outside, and was thinking whether to call today's Xiao Dan to wait on him, when he heard that Brother Huang was looking for him, he came back without even having time to change his clothes.Yin smiled and said, "Brother Huang has a heavy responsibility in the world. Naturally, he is worried day and night, sleeps long and sleepy at night. The younger brother is willing to share the worries for Brother Huang, but he is afraid that his lack of talent and learning will miss the main task, so he has to do what he can to do for Brother Huang. Investigate people's sentiments."

"Hmph." In front of the other two, Jun Qi couldn't be bothered with him. Prince Zhongshun is already notorious in the capital anyway, so there's no need for him to add fire, "I told you to learn Korean , how have you learned?"

Lin Ruhai was surprised, he thought this matter was over, but he didn't expect Jun Qi to let Prince Zhongshun do it.That's fine, if you know yourself and your enemy, you will win every battle. If you can understand the content of the communication between the Zhen family and Baekje, you don't have to guess here.However, Jun You changed his expression, with a rare seriousness, "Brother Huang, you are too embarrassing, that thing has never been spread in Korea, and my brother found a lot of ways, and how many people were sent to get rid of it?" The person who invented this tadpole script with the king of Korea that day has been found. Unfortunately, the old man was tight-lipped and couldn't find out anything. Finally, he invited a gentleman from Liangshang to get the thing. It's just that their tadpole script looks simple It's really difficult to learn. An old gentleman under my subordinate has only figured out some tricks in the past two years, but he is not very proficient."

"It's okay if you can read two or four or six, as long as you know the meaning." Jun Qi didn't care how hard it was for him to learn this, all he wanted was a result, "I'll give you something in a while, you Hurry up and let that old gentleman see what it means, maybe he can explain it clearly. If this matter is done well, I promise you one thing."

King Zhongshun was very pleasantly surprised, his imperial brother is rare and generous, "Your brother accepts the decree." He took another sneaky look at Jun Qi, and asked, "I wonder if anything is fine?"

Jun Qi stared at her beautifully, and said in a strange way, "What do you think?"

King Zhongshun hurriedly lowered his head, "I understand, my brother will leave." Be good, the eyes of the emperor's brother became more and more fierce.

"That's it for today, you all step back first." Jun Qi let everyone go with a wave of his hand.Originally wanted Ru Hai to stay, but it was not good every time.Besides, if the mountain doesn't come to save me, I can just go to the mountain, and it's the same when I go to Ruhai in a while.

When Lin Ruhai returned to his residence, Daiyu was already waiting there.

"Daddy, you're back." Daiyu couldn't help being coquettish again when she saw her father.

Lin Ruhai patted her head, and coaxed her in a low voice, "Yu'er has been waiting for a long time? Dad has official business, so he went to see the emperor. How are these days, are you tired?"

Daiyu shook her head, "Sitting in the car all the time, I'm not tired. Didn't Daddy say that he came out to play? Why are there so many business affairs? When I was at home, I was very busy. My daughter thought that she could be with Daddy every day when she came out. Son, who knows that dad is even busier."

Lin Ruhai felt a little guilty in front of his daughter. He was so "busy" not because he was entangled in official affairs, but because "Junqi" was entangled.But this can't let the baby girl know, because she said, "Even if you say it, you still have to do what you have to do. Besides, there are many people in Daddy's place, and you are too old to show your face casually. When Yujia arrives in Jinling , will stay for a while, when the time comes, Daddy will take you out for a stroll, okay?"

"Okay, Daddy, you can't forget." Daiyu replied crisply, and winked playfully, "Grandmother specially asked me to bring some new clothes before I came here, so I can wear them when I go out."

Lin Ruhai laughed and said, "It's amazing, our family's Yu'er is becoming more and more like a tomboy."

Daiyu is not happy now, isn't the tomboy like Niu Wan and Shi Xiangyun, "No way, they all praise their daughters. Hongxiu, do you think so?"

Standing aside, Hongxiu and Luqi said in unison, "Yes, yes, the princess just said that the young lady is quiet and elegant, even if she is annoyed by the little princess, she can still maintain her ladylike demeanor, which is amazing."

This little princess is the youngest daughter of Princess Beijing, Shui Rong's own sister, Shui Qin.But at the age of five, he is the most eccentric.Because both the old concubine and the princess liked Daiyu very much, and they usually praised Daiyu a lot, so Shuiqin was jealous of her.Along the way, Daiyu has often been picked on by her.Daiyu remembers her grandmother's teachings, and hides when she can't be provoked.She can't treat this little princess like she did to Shi Xiangyun, so she can only be tolerant in many ways.Fortunately, it's just a little girl, so let's just treat it as a joke and let it go.

Lin Ruhai was naturally happy when her daughter was praised, but she also had to ask a few more words.He also knows how much he loves Yu'er, and he is always afraid that she will be too arrogant and offend someone who cannot be offended.Although he has never encountered such a situation until now, and his mother also said that although Yu'er has flaws in the world, it is still acceptable, and he, as a father, still can't help worrying.

The father and daughter were talking happily when they suddenly heard a person push the door open and said loudly, "Ruhai, what are you doing hiding in there?"

Lin Ruhai might as well have Jun Qi come at this time, and he is glad that he didn't say anything stupid, because he stepped forward to pay respects, "I will see the emperor."

Daiyu thought to herself, why is the emperor so rude? Although father is a minister, this is his room, so he can't just barge in like that.On the other hand, he followed behind his father, bowed his eyebrows, and said, "The little girl sees the emperor."

How did Jun Qi know that Lin Daiyu would be there, he touched his nose in embarrassment, and hurriedly said, "Excuse me, let's be flat. Lin Aiqing, this is Ling Qianjin?"

"Thank you, Lord Long En. If you return to the emperor, it will be the young girl." Lin Ruhai pretended to be an ordinary minister, seeing the emperor's reaction, for fear that her daughter would notice something.

Jun Qi waved to her, "Come here and let me have a look. I was thinking about when I would see you, but I didn't want to meet you today. Do you still remember me?"

Daiyu cautiously stepped closer, and stood with her head bowed, "My little girl won't remember if I go back to the emperor."

Jun Qi smiled and said, "That's right, you were only a little older at that time, and you couldn't speak easily, so naturally you don't remember. But I remember you, you were the first person to slap me in the face, you are not small."

Daiyu heard that there was no anger in his words, so she boldly replied, "My little girl is young and ignorant, thank you Your Majesty for your innocence."

Jun Qi was surprised and said, "What do you mean, but those who don't know are not guilty? How do I remember that someone said that those who don't know act recklessly are guilty; those who know act recklessly are guilty of crimes."

Now it was Daiyu's turn to be puzzled, she was right to say this, but she said it when she was arguing with her husband, how could the emperor know?

Jun Qi teased her, "Little girl, do you want to know why I know this?"

Unexpectedly, Daiyu didn't accept the move and just shook her head.Lin Ruhai snickered at Jun Qi's suffocated look, and Yu'er was really good at embarrassing Jun Qi.But at this time, he had to speak for his daughter, "The emperor calms down, Yu'er is still young." But he refused to say that his daughter is ignorant, Yu'er is well-behaved and clever, but a good girl.

How could Jun Qi be angry, not to mention that this is Lin Ruhai's daughter, after all, a ten-year-old girl, how can he still bully the weak with the big?However, Daiyu was able to stay calm and not be deceived at such a young age, which shows that she is extraordinary, and she is probably like her father.Thinking of staying here for a day tomorrow, I originally wanted to go outside with Ru Hai for a walk.Knowing that Daiyu often went out with her father when she was in the capital, she took advantage of the situation and said, "I want to go to the folks tomorrow, and your father will go with me too. How about you go with us?"

Daiyu's eyes were almost gone from laughing, but she still looked at Lin Ruhai reservedly, seeing him nodding her head lightly, she replied, "Thank you, Your Majesty, Long En."

Jun Qi thought to himself that this time he did not flatter wrongly, and he didn't want to disturb their father and daughter, anyway, he couldn't do anything with Daiyu around, so he left first.

After Jun Qi left, Lin Ruhai asked Daiyu, "Why didn't Yu'er answer the call just now?"

Daiyu frowned, "It's definitely not my husband who said this, but my father must have told the emperor, so there's no need to ask." She's not a fool, she understands such a simple thing once she thinks about it, what's the point? easy to ask.The most important thing is that the emperor's obscene smile just now made her a little disgusted, but she dared not say it out.

Lin Ruhai thought that her daughter was really smart, but she didn't know that she thought so in her heart.If he knew, he might have to laugh at Jun Qi.But just the disdainful expression on Daiyu's face was enough to keep him entertained for a while.
