[Red Mansions] Lord Hou's daily routine

The incident happened in Lingnan.

Hundreds of soldiers who were ordered to go to Lingnan to arrest and escort Shen Qiao back to the capital were arrested by Shen Qiao's men as soon as they arrived at the boundary of Lingnan, and all of them were killed.

Shen Qiao refused to obey the order, refused to enter the capital for trial, and even killed most of the local officials in Lingnan who refused to submit to him, and detained Lin Liang, the magistrate of Lingnan, and some officials in the government office. The supporters rebelled on their own.

Emperor Chengsheng's imperial decree revealed the whole story to the world, and the public opinion among the people in the world was very unfavorable to the Shen family.

Both Shen Qiao and Shen Shu's father and son had the same thoughts as Queen Mother Shen, even if things were exposed, Shen Qiao would not give in easily.

Even though the Empress Dowager Shen and Shen Shu are now detained in the hands of Emperor Chengsheng, Shen Qiao still acted according to the plan before, and was not hindered by the situation of the Empress Dowager Shen and Shen Shu at all.

This is also the plan that Queen Mother Shen had made before.

Even if the matter is revealed, Queen Mother Shen will never allow the Shen family to admit defeat like this.They still have their last trump card, which is Shen Qiao who has been operating in Lingnan for several years.

After Shen Qiao killed the sergeant who had come to detain the officials who did not obey him, he raised his army.

He raised troops to rebel, and raised troops to serve the king.Said that the capital is now under the control of Lin Jian, the commander of the Gyeonggi Daying, and said that the imperial decree of Emperor Chengsheng was promulgated under the coercion of Lin Jian, and all of this was done by the prince in collaboration with Lin Jian. Emperor Chengsheng seized the throne in advance.

The purpose of Shen Qiao's support of King Qin is to enter the capital all the way, rescue the Queen Mother and Emperor Chengsheng from Lin Jian and the prince, and then remove Lin Jian from Emperor Chengsheng and the prince.Shen Qiao still shouted, hoping that people of insight from all walks of life in the world will respond to his words and join him in sending troops to serve the king.

On the surface, he said so, but Shen Qiao's calculations in the mainland were still based on his own thoughts.

It is a good thing if someone is with him, if no one is with him, he will lead the tens of thousands of soldiers from Lingnan to the capital.Emperor Chengsheng only has two or three months at most. The foundation of the new emperor's ascension to the throne is unstable, and the government is turbulent. In the process, the detained Empress Dowager Shen and King Duan will naturally be rescued.

At that time, the new emperor can be forced to abdicate by force, so that King Duan can inherit the throne.As for whether there is enough troops to fight this way, and whether it is possible to make all the four battalions of Jingji in the capital obey him, Shen Qiao thought, as long as he kills Lin Jian and the people in the General's Mansion, he will join the rest of the troops at that time, and the trend will be great. No one will dare to disobey him again.

The current plan is to fight all the way there first.

Shen Qiao wholeheartedly wanted to get rid of the Lin family. After raising troops, he released the news that Lin Hong was in Lingnan, and said that no matter who can catch Lin Hong, he will be rewarded.

There was a chaos in Lingnan, and after receiving the news, the Ministry of War immediately reported it to Emperor Chengsheng. If there is a military chaos in one place, the court will naturally have corresponding countermeasures. Now Emperor Chengsheng is poisoned, and he is accompanied by the queen to recuperate in the Palace of Qinzheng every day. At that time, all the affairs of the DPRK and China were handled by the prince who had returned to the capital.

According to the imperial decree of Emperor Chengsheng, Xiao Yu ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor shortly after returning to the capital.

Because in this special period, there are a lot of things going on between the government and the public, Emperor Chengsheng is in such a situation, and Lingnan is also in chaos, it is impossible to organize the enthronement ceremony arbitrarily, and Xiao Yu has no intention of arranging any enthronement ceremony, so everything is kept simple, Xiao Yu ascended the throne directly.

Emperor Chengsheng was uncomfortable, so he never moved, and he still lived in the Hall of Qinzheng.

In this extraordinary period, I don't care about that much anymore, Xiao Yu still lives in the Prince's Mansion, but the plaque outside the Prince's Mansion has been taken down, and it is only called the new emperor's hidden residence.

Xiao Yu entered the palace to handle government affairs in the Eastern Palace Office. The Eastern Palace Office has also changed its name now, and it is temporarily called the Political Affairs Office.

After the rest day, Lin Jian got up early in the morning to go to Xishuiying to work as an errand, but someone from the palace said that Xiao Yu invited him into the palace to discuss matters.

Lin Jian immediately agreed, and then asked Xiao Yu what he was discussing when he was invited into the palace.

The person Xiao Yu sent to invite Lin Jian into the palace was the guard who had been behind Xiao Yu for many years, and he knew Lin Jian well.Lin Jian's question was not a secret, and logically he could answer it.

But the guard just smiled wryly after hearing this: "Commander Lin, the subordinates really don't know. The Holy Majesty never made it clear. He only said that the commander should be invited to enter the palace immediately."

When the guard said this, Lin Jian didn't ask any more questions.

He straightened his clothes, and asked Qian Ying to go back to the inner courtyard to talk to Lin Daiyu, then ignored Qian Ying, and followed his guards to ride into the palace together.

Now is an extraordinary period, when the whole army is practicing in the camp, Lin Jian is busy with these things, and has not seen Xiao Yu alone for several days.That is to say, he met Xiao Yu once with all the ministers at the Great Court Meeting two days ago, and that time he found that Xiao Yu was even thinner than when he came back.

Lin Jian was worried about Xiao Yu, so he asked the guard Xiao Yu how to eat and live.

This minister must have violated the rules when he inquired about the emperor's daily diet, not to mention speaking out, it should not be said a single word.

But although Lin Jian and Xiao Yu belonged to the monarch and ministers, they were like brothers. He asked this matter out of concern for Xiao Yu. Besides, the guards were also worried about Xiao Yu's health these days. Hearing Lin Jian's question , couldn't help but sighed lightly.

"The Holy Majesty has been sleepless for several days. These days, the Holy Majesty has been unable to eat or sleep well. The Empress has been by the Holy Majesty's side, and she also persuaded the Majesty, but the Majesty ignored it. Sometimes the Empress Dowager and the Supreme Emperor also Will persuade, but the Holy Majesty has no intention of changing it. After the commander enters the palace, he should also persuade the Holy Majesty. If this continues, I am afraid that he will get sick again."

"The Commander's words, the Holy Majesty is still willing to listen."

After hearing this, Lin Jian remained silent.

When Lin Jian arrived at the political discussion office, just as the discussion inside had broken up, three or five ministers came out, met Lin Jian head-on, and hurriedly bowed to each other.Just as a palace attendant came out to meet Lin Jian, those ministers left the palace under the guidance of another palace attendant.

Lin Jian entered the inner room and saw Xiao Yu sitting in front of the desk reading the memorial.The official documents and memorials on the desk were piled up as high as a hill, almost burying Xiao Yu's whole body in it.

Hearing the servant's report and the sound of footsteps, Xiao Yu hurriedly put down the memorial in his hand, raised his eyes to meet Lin Jian, and told him to sit down quickly, avoiding Lin Jian's salute.

After the palace attendant served tea to Lin Jian and left the inner room, Xiao Yu said: "Yunxi, wait for me for a while, and I will talk to you after I finish reading this memorial."

Lin Jian nodded and sat quietly, not disturbing Xiao Yu.

Just looking closely at Xiao Yu's face, he is indeed much thinner than the previous two days, and his eyes are black and bloodshot, his complexion is pale, and his appearance is obvious. He coughs lightly once or twice while reading the memorial. Thinking about it, he thought to himself, if he continues to work like Xiao Yu, he is probably going to get sick again.

After reading the memorial, Xiao Yu put the memorial in his hand on the desk, raised his eyes and smiled at Lin Jian.

Seeing this smile, Lin Jian felt sore: "Your Majesty, you have to take care of your health. I heard that Your Majesty has been sleepless for several days."

Lin Jian persuaded Xiao Yu a few words, and told Xiao Yu not to be impatient, "When the Supreme Emperor ascended the throne, the government and the public were not very peaceful, and there were many things at that time, but the Supreme Emperor took his time. Zhishang is impatient, but if you don’t take good care of your body, how can you talk about the future? Now that you are the backbone of the government and the public, you should take good care of yourself.”

Xiao Yu smiled softly, walked over and leaned over to pat Lin Jian's hand lightly, took a sip of the hot tea brought up by the palace attendant, then sat down directly beside Lin Jian, stretched his arms casually, Only then slowly opened his mouth.

"I know what you said. It's just that there are many things in court, and I want to spend more time with my father after I finish my work. My father has been in good spirits these days, and I want to see him more. It's almost done, it's not as busy as it was a few days ago, I will eat well. You don't have to worry about me."

Lin Jian listened quietly to Xiao Yu talking to him about Emperor Chengsheng's situation these days, Xiao Yu's tone was calm and his expression was light, but his mind was very serious. Lin Jian was concerned, so he didn't intervene, but just listened quietly.

Xiao Yu talked for a while, but couldn't hold back his emotions for a while, so he simply stopped talking with tears in his eyes.When he said these words to Lin Jian, he really felt uncomfortable in his heart, so he told Lin Jian.

He is already the emperor, these words cannot be said to his father and queen mother, they are so difficult, he should not say these words to add to the sadness, his wife is also the same, thinking about it, so as not to make everyone worry , he could only listen to Lin Jian with these words.

He didn't want much, just quiet and listening.Speak out of the jailer's distress in his heart, and he will feel much better after all.

He still remembered that he was the emperor, and he had to restrain himself after talking.

After waiting for Xiao Yu to calm down, Lin Jian said silently: "The Holy Majesty told me to enter the palace, is there something for me to do?"

Xiao Yu was silent for a while, and when the emotions in his eyes were exhausted, he said softly: "Yunxi, I ordered the Ministry of War to transfer troops to you. You can take them to Lingnan."

Lin Jian was slightly stunned: "Your Majesty...what do you mean?"

Regarding Shen Qiao's Lingnan rebellion, the Ministry of War has dispatched orders, and some soldiers will go to Lingnan to quell the rebellion.

Xiao Yu stared fixedly at Lin Jian: "Yunxi, your parents and two elder brothers are all in Lingnan, I know you must be in Lingnan. Earlier, the Ministry of War ordered that soldiers would go to Lingnan to quell the chaos, but they are different from you. In the face of the enemy, they will only quell the chaos, and it is difficult to take care of other things. You lead the troops, which makes me feel more at ease. Shen Qiao kidnapped your two brothers, and wanted Zhennan Gong and his wife. He is going to kill them all. You go, Go to Lingnan to rescue your two older brothers, and bring Zhennan Gong and his wife back safely."

"End this turmoil/turmoil for me. I believe in you, only you can perfectly end this disaster."

Lin Jian clenched his back molars: "If the minister leads the troops away, who will guard the capital for the Holy One?"

Xiao Yu smiled lightly when he heard the words, and patted the back of Lin Jian's hand lightly: "The overall situation has been settled, and rebellion in one place is nothing to worry about. Nothing will happen in the capital."

"Now the Patrol Battalion, the Wucheng Bingma Division, and your four major battalions have all been cleaned up. The soldiers are worthy of trust. Jia Lian is still good. You can go there with confidence and don't worry about this place. I will guard here. , waiting for your triumphant return."

"Yunxi, trust me."

They grew up together and promised to spend their whole lives fulfilling the greatest dream in their hearts. Together, they would create a peaceful and prosperous world and a prosperous Zhou Dynasty.

They have gone through disasters, and this original intention has never changed.Everything they do is for a better tomorrow and a better future for Da Zhou.

Lin Jian looked at Xiao Yu's eyes that were as bright as before, and said hello in a deep voice.

"I believe in the Holy One. I have believed since I was a child."

He solemnly promised, "I will lead the troops to Lingnan, and before winter, I will put an end to the military chaos in Lingnan on behalf of the Holy Spirit."
