Red Mansions: My Book is Cool

The four princes and eight princes are all old courtiers of the Supreme Emperor, and they have always been loyal to the Supreme Emperor. When the current Emperor was still a prince, he had a normal relationship with them.Since the emperor succeeded to the throne, the four kings and eight princes have not been able to recognize the situation clearly. In the power struggle between the emperor and the emperor, they still faintly stand on the side of the emperor. The emperor forbears it for a long time.Now, the Supreme Emperor no longer has the power to deter the country, and the Emperor has control of the government and the public, so he will naturally start to deal with the entangled relationship, like a thorn, and the old nobles who have always been in his heart.And he finally found a good opportunity.

The imperial court and Qianxiang Kingdom went to war.Since the current emperor came to the throne, under the impetus of Prince Zhonghui, the sea ban has been slowly lifted, overseas trade has flourished, the profits are very rich, and it has also brought a large amount of taxes to the court.The Qianxiang Country is an important transit point for overseas trade. In the past few years, due to conflicts of interest, there have been several conflicts with the Chinese court.Finally, the war begins.

The impact of this battle on the imperial court was not very great, because it was a medium-scale naval battle, and China has always focused on the rule of the mainland, and it only caused waves in the southeast.The southeast is exactly the sphere of influence of King Nan'an, one of the Four Kings.Among the four existing kings with foreign surnames, King Nan'an is the only one who controls the military power in his hands, and his status is very important.

Naturally, King Nan'an didn't want the court to get involved in his power, so he found a reason to reject the Ministry of War's proposal to send reinforcements to the south, and only sent his trusted sailors to fight Qianxiang Kingdom on the southeast coast.He was smug at first, and went to the battlefield with his son himself, hoping to consolidate his power with a big victory and win the capital to bargain with the imperial court. From his understanding, Qianxiang country's power is weak, and his own soldiers are strong and strong. Basically, the war can be won, and the result is nothing more than a big victory or a small victory.

Unexpectedly, when Jingzhou was carelessly lost, King Nan'an's navy failed and suffered heavy losses. King Nan'an himself was defeated and captured.When the news came, the ruling and opposition parties were shocked, and the emperor was furious.The king of Nan'an defended his territory fiercely before and did not allow the imperial army to get involved. Now with his disastrous defeat, it has become a major crime.The sky of Nan'an Palace has collapsed!Concubine Nan'an and Princess Nan'an, who lived in the capital for a long time, went to ask for prayers every day, trying their best to rescue King Nan'an.

Secretly sent people to negotiate, Qian Xiangguo asked for a large amount of silver, cloth, silk and satin, etc., which can cover up the essence of compensation with a nice name, and the Nan'an Palace agreed; but Qianxiang Kingdom also proposed a marriage.This way, if the princess can't surrender, at least she must marry a clan woman.

The Nan'an Palace was very embarrassed about this, but Qian Xiangguo insisted on his own opinion, so he had no choice but to grit his teeth and agree first.The Nan'an Palace contacted some honorable officials everywhere, and advised the emperor to redeem the Nan'an King on the grounds that the King of Nan'an was trapped in the Qianxiang Kingdom and lost the court's face.The Prince of Nan'an is also willing to sell everything he can, using the wealth he has accumulated over the years as a reward from the court without using the money from the treasury, and secretly begging to see the emperor and agreeing to hand over the private army passed down from his ancestors, just to be a wealthy and idle person in the future.Under the repeated persuasion of everyone, the emperor reluctantly agreed.

But the marriage has encountered difficulties.In the eyes of the Huaxia Dynasty, Qianxiang Country is a land of barbarians.At that time, in China, only when it was really difficult to survive in the homeland or was persecuted by others, and had nowhere to go, would they think of leaving their hometown and going abroad.For example, in Fujian Province on the southeast coast, there are more people who go to sea to make a living.Under such circumstances, it would be impossible to think about it, if you want the noble daughter of the clan to get married, who would be willing to go?

Naturally, the Nan'an Palace did not dare to talk about the powerful clan daughter in the family. In fact, Princess Nan'an also had a 13-year-old only daughter under her knees, who was barely old enough to marry.But Concubine Nan'an really couldn't bear to part with her beloved granddaughter who had been raised under her knees since she was a child. If she was allowed to marry Qian Xiangguo, she would never see each other again for the rest of her life.Moreover, the Qianxiang country is so far away and wild, and its people are fierce and cunning. Wouldn't it be that her granddaughter is trapped in a tiger's mouth, and she is afraid that she will not live long, and the imperial court will not be a backer for her.

Therefore, the Nan'an Palace prepared to direct this disaster to other people's homes.They figured that the royal family also has some downcast clans, and their lives are not rich. As long as they are willing to pay a lot of money, they will be willing to make sacrifices, but why should they care about a daughter?

Unexpectedly, just now with this idea in mind, they contacted a few idle clans in private, and the clan's government came forward to warn them that they must never involve the clan's daughters, which would be an insult to the state.There was no other way, Nan'an Palace had no choice but to turn its attention to some noble women who had nothing to rely on behind them.

At one point, they also played Lin Daiyu's idea.From their point of view, Lin Daiyu is at the right age. Although her family is noble, she has no father or brother to rely on. There is only one adopted younger brother who may not be close to her. Moreover, she is still just raising a man, not a big deal.She also has the title of county lord. I heard that she is beautiful and capable, and Qian Xiangguo will definitely be satisfied.The emperor will not have any opinion, Lin Daiyu is just an irrelevant courtier's daughter.Besides, she is the granddaughter of Jia's family, so she can use Jia's family to control her.Although their own family was defeated and most of the hidden forces were lost, the Jia family didn't know about it and dared not offend.They thought to themselves that the Nan'an Palace could still have the upper hand against the Jia family.It's a pity that Lin Daiyu is still in the south of the Yangtze River, so it's hard to come and see her in person!Still, that's not a big deal.

Concubine Nan'an went into the palace to persuade several concubines, and was going to try to bring up this matter in front of the queen.Even a respectable concubine, the queen should be more polite.

Those concubines began to persuade in a hurry: "Queen, the little princess of Nan'an's family is too young. I heard that she was spoiled and spoiled at home. She played all day and had never read any books. She didn't know anything at all. Knowing how to be a housekeeper and director. Such a girl, marrying to Qianxiang Country, what can she do, she made a kiss for nothing!" - This is an excuse for Nan'an Palace's reluctance to part with its own daughter.

"Well, since that's the case, why not find another suitable lady, let the Nan'an Palace prepare a generous dowry without the court paying, isn't this the best of both worlds? - this is for the court's sake.

"No one is willing? This is loyalty to the country and the duty of being a courtier. How can they not be willing? Thunder, rain and dew are all the grace of the king!"-this is a righteous way to convince people with reason.

"If you want to say that there is also a suitable one, it is Nan'an's old relative Jia's family, Miss Lin, the granddaughter of Mrs. Jia's granddaughter. The girl's age, talent and appearance are all suitable. After her father left, she supported the family alone. Ye, it can be seen that she is capable. What's more rare is Xiaoyi, who must be loyal and won't complain. Besides, she has no worries and has brought her Lin family and her brother a good reputation. Besides, Going to Qianxiang country is to be a princess, so it's important to be decent, so it's not considered humiliating!" - This is finally getting to the point.

Prince Zhonghui just happened to go to see the queen to discuss the affairs of the House of Internal Affairs. There is a big age difference between him and the queen, and the emperor told him not to avoid suspicion.Walking outside the side hall, he happened to hear these remarks, and he couldn't help but sneered.Entered the hall and met with the queen.He also didn't bother to pay attention to these concubines who put on airs, he didn't even care about the Supreme Emperor, let alone them rootless duckweeds?

These women speak high-sounding words, quietly trying to control the fate of others.Between the ups and downs, a young life who has no enmity or hatred with them is about to be cornered.Especially this person is Lin Daiyu, he gradually became sure that she, like himself, is also a lost traveler in time, in this strange time and space, while carefully tidying up the abnormalities on her body, hiding her heart, while living in depression with.However, the grass under the heavy stone will always break through the shackles, struggle hard to emerge, and take a breath of free air.He naturally felt a certain kindness towards her.Meeting an old friend in a foreign land is something to be happy about, let alone in this other world.

"Sister-in-law of the emperor," he said to the queen expressionlessly, "the king of Nan'an was defeated, not to mention that he tried his best to make up for it, but he dared to choose a noble daughter to replace his own daughter and marry him. It's no wonder that the family is able to persuade the concubines to help him to excuse him!"

"By the way, why do the girls from the Lin family get married? Are you an orphan who bullies others? Lin Ruhai has made great contributions to the country. The emperor personally bestowed him with a posthumous title. He is also a scholar. Are you accusing the emperor of being mean and ungrateful?"

"By the way, I heard that Concubine Zhang and Concubine Ma have nieces and nieces in their natal families. Why don't you set an example and send them to Nan'an for marriage!" Prince Zhonghui said coldly: "The emperor and the imperial court will definitely appreciate the loyalty of the concubines. What a move! The two concubines might as well go back and discuss it with their natal family, this is a good opportunity to serve the imperial court!"

The toffees looked at each other pale, and immediately fell silent.Prince Zhonghui is no longer the prince who doesn't have to look at each other in the palace and has no background. He has won the trust of the emperor. He was fierce, and the people in the palace also feared him.

Seeing these women leaving in a hurry, Prince Zhonghui smiled coldly, then frowned and coughed.The queen hurriedly let him sit down with concern, and ordered someone to bring ginseng tea to him and drink it slowly, thinking to himself, it seems that Zhonghui is very interested in that Lin girl, could it be that the two had contact when they were in the south of the Yangtze River? ?This has to be discussed with the Emperor Haosheng, if Zhonghui is interested, then match the two of them, and it must be as Zhonghui wishes!Although, the royal family will never treat Miss Lin and the Lin family badly!

Nan'an Palace knew that Prince Zhonghui stood up for Lin Daiyu, so naturally they didn't dare to make up her mind anymore.If the married woman is a lady from an official family with status, but also caters to those who obey the Nan'an Palace, there are not many choices.They resolutely turned to the old relative's house, dead friends are not dead poor!

Finally, they chose Jia Tanchun, the second wife of the Jia family, the sister of Concubine Xiande, whose status is not low.Princess Nan'an went to Jia's house in person, met Jia Tanchun, and fell in love with him at first sight.Jia Tanchun is a concubine, so the Jia family can afford to trade her for a big favor.In Jia Tanchun's eyes, Princess Nan'an also keenly saw her ambition and dissatisfaction with her own destiny, and nodded with satisfaction.Very good, when such a woman arrives in Qianxiang Country, she will try her best to fight for her, and she will not cry and complain, and hurt her family.That's her!

Princess Nan'an praised Jia Tanchun repeatedly, gave a generous meeting gift, and said with a smile that she liked her very much as soon as they met, but they hit it off.She proposed to Jia's mother and Mrs. Wang that Jia Tanchun should be accepted as a righteous daughter. This righteous daughter is also well-known, and she wants to be on the royal jade plate.

Jia Mu and Mrs. Wang knew the purpose of Princess Nan'an well, but they did not refuse.The Jia family could not afford to offend the Nan'an Palace. Although the Nan'an King was defeated, the ups and downs of the warriors are commonplace. The Nan'an Palace has a deep foundation. When the Nan'an King returns, there will always be a comeback.At that time, they will accept a great favor from the Jia family.Jia Jiajiao has raised Tanchun for a long time, and it is also appropriate for her to contribute to the family.What's more, she is usually very ambitious, so she may not be unwilling.

Not long after, Jia Tanchun worshiped Princess Nan'an as his adoptive mother, was taken into the Nan'an Palace, and was given the title of a county lord.Princess Nan'an prepared a generous dowry for her.After more than a month, Jia Tanchun bid farewell to Jia's family and everyone in Nan'an Palace, boarded the ship and went away.

Three thousand years of wind and rain, throw away the family of flesh and blood.
