Sister of the Treasure of the Red Chamber is quitting

The two aunts and sisters-in-law communicated with each other, and Baochai generously called everyone in the kitchen and the second housekeeper over and said to them: "Now that the new grandma has passed the door, it is also time for you to get to know the new master. In the future, you will ask the new grandma when you report errands." , whoever is disobedient and messes up the errands just stay by, don't make trouble with me. Let me know, I can't say that I will give you double portions." After that, rest assured that the kitchen in the inner courtyard will be judged by others I handed everything over to Xu Ying, and I only brought my mother-in-law and maidservants to tidy up the yard, count the gifts received from the banquet the day before, and put them in the warehouse.

Simply for the New Year and Xue Pan's marriage, the family has saved a lot of food, so there is no need to buy it for a few days, just waiting.On the second day, that is, the morning of the seventeenth day of the first lunar month, the Xue family could not have imagined that Shen Yu would suddenly change into his normal clothes and knock on the door to take care of her.It turned out that something happened on the night of the [-]th. Jin Yiwei was ordered to guard the palace gate and the Jingshen Hall where the accident happened. This guard lasted for a day and a half. Shen Yu finally got half an hour to change. I went home and saw whether Mr. Shen changed. Check the clothes and run to Xue's house.

There are guards outside the mansions on the east and west sides of the capital, but the Xue family here is full of people who have been arranged to take advantage of his family, so there is no embarrassment, and they guard the door with him.If this is not the case, or it is not the same as some rich and powerful households who ask people to blackmail and blackmail a lot of money to buy peace.Shen Yu came in through the corner door in a stone-green cotton robe, bowed hands with Xue Pan, went to see Mrs. Xue again to reassure her, and told everyone what she could say: "On the night of the fifteenth day, there was a commotion in the palace. At noon, I had brother Xue's wedding wine, and I was on duty in the evening to catch up, so I happened to know some news. Now there is a saint on the top, and the previous one has become the Supreme Emperor. It's a pity that Concubine Zhen died, so I have to prepare for the kingdom Filial piety needs things that can be used. Martial law is just a matter of these few days, and it has nothing to do with Xue's family, so don't run around and dig camps. It will be tomorrow morning, at least the day after tomorrow, and the ban will be lifted."

After he said this, Mrs. Xue recited the Buddha and exhaled, "Amitabha, I was terribly frightened. Fortunately, it was just a thunderbolt from the clear sky, and it never fell." Baochai sat beside Mrs. Xue, and she didn't care Shang Bi asked in a hurry: "Those who live in winter will not be able to get in when the martial law is imposed. Food and beverages may be hard to come by. Can you send some charcoal to relatives?" Shen Yu said with a smile: "That's all right, just don't look like you're fleeing famine with big and small bags." As he said, he cupped his hands and hurried outside.Baochai thinks about it, since she has been taken care of by people, it's not good to say nothing, so she hurriedly asked the cook to make a pack of hot steamed buns, and called a woman to run all the way to put Shen Yu and Shen Yu in her arms. Be prepared.

Shen Yu hurriedly thanked him, went out again against the wind, rushed home and looked at Mr. Shen again, and then changed into the red official uniform and went to Zhengyangmen.After passing the brackets under the palace gate, I saw many palace people vigorously washing away the greasy blood stains on both sides of the ground. Seeing that the basins of well water turned red and rushed into the ditch, it can be seen that another day must have happened here. A matter of changing the day.Going further inside, there are colleagues who are waiting to change shifts. Shen Yu hurriedly went up and clapped his hands to annoy humanity, took out the token to check, and the half-hour rest was gone.

Now several ministers of the cabinet and six ministers are standing in the Huagai Palace, the new emperor who has just received the abdication edict sits with a straight face and does not speak, not knowing what he is waiting for.Suddenly, the little eunuch guarding the door quietly came through the curtain behind, and whispered a few words into the ear of the big eunuch standing in front of the imperial court. He said such and such in the ear of the new emperor.After hearing this, the new emperor's face became more and more serious, and he didn't know what to think of, so he suppressed his anger and said to the ministers: "Father is unwell and has passed on the great treasure to me. The funeral ceremony is sent out, and we will discuss other things later."

Standing at the bottom, Lin Ruhai cupped his hands and came out immediately: "According to the old calendar, the concubine is on the same level as the concubine and princess, and only one of them is thinking about the emperor's thoughts. Why don't we act according to the country's filial piety, so that the people below can be quiet for a few days." There must be a reason why he said this.During the royal family banquet in the fifteenth year of the Shang Yuan Dynasty, the princes and princes of the clan brought their family members into the palace on time to receive the banquet, and the princes presented all kinds of treasures to celebrate the festival.Only the fifth prince invited a well-known theater troupe in Beijing recently to perform a hundred plays in order to imitate the sages and entertain their relatives in colorful clothes.

This theater troupe is quite interesting. They bought a lot of barbarians and barbarians as jugglers, all of them colorful and gaudy.Because it was kept secret beforehand, even Jin Yiwei couldn't investigate it in secret, so in such a muddleheaded manner, the Fifth Prince entered the palace gate as an ordinary opera troupe, and even asked the emperor to select this hundred operas.At that time, there was a box on the table, and a tall orchid was lying covered with a black cloth, only her head and feet were exposed, and she could turn her head and laugh at people with a knife, which really surprised the clan members. of.Suddenly, the actor performing on the stage said something, and no one understood what he said, then he saw a dozen or so rather short barbarians suddenly appearing from the box where the orchid was lying, and stabbed at the banquet with knives. Come.Because it is a royal family banquet, surrounded by ordinary guards and eunuchs, and everyone has unarmed during the festival, how to resist these vicious people?The casualties were heavy.A few bandits even rushed to the foot of the throne, and the eight guardians of the emperor who were guarding the gate just rushed in through the threshold. How could there be time to rescue them!At the critical moment, Concubine Zhen, who was still sitting on the right side of the emperor, used her body as a shield to splatter three feet of blood, and only then did she manage to command the armored guards to take down all the rioters. Anyone who struggled was punished on the spot, and the rest of the palace scattered to hide. The people in the palace were also led to the gate of the palace and killed with sticks under the responsibility of "protecting the lord is not good".

At this point, the emperor felt dizzy, blue veins were throbbing, his stomach was twitching, and he couldn't even distinguish the light and shadow in the distance, so he hurriedly recruited the immortal leader to offer the golden elixir to take, and he went back to rest with the help of others.It was not until noon on the [-]th day of the first lunar month that an edict was issued to the cabinet and the six heavenly officials to have an audience, and they publicly said that they would entrust the whole country and society to the shoulders of the six princes.All the ministers were taken aback for a moment, and looked at each other at a loss. It turned out that the court was optimistic about the first five princes. Why did the emperor suddenly change his mind and value the sixth prince who came out to do things last year?

Your Majesty Dan, the father and son saw that no one answered the conversation, they just looked at each other, their faces sank, and a ball of anger was burning in their chests, when they saw Lin Ruhai, Minister of the Ministry of Rites, stand up and accept the imperial edict. The faces of the emperor and the sixth prince were picked up from the ground.Lin Ruhai is now in charge of the Ministry of Rites in his hand, and is in charge of the edicts of the world's etiquette classics, so he took over the writing of the edicts.

I saw that Lin Ruhai took the brush and ink from the palace servants, and wrote the imperial edict on the spot. If the original six princes became the saint on the throne, the one in front would naturally become the Supreme Emperor.

It's not stupid to be an official to be able to stand here. Everyone knows that the chaos in the palace on the fifteenth night is not that simple, otherwise why didn't the fifth prince come today?I'm afraid that the death of Concubine Zhen Gui is also problematic, but no one dares to bring it up.Since the above is the previous statement, the following may wish to unify the caliber in a muddle-headed manner, or to cover up the embarrassment with the royal family.

The elders of the cabinet thought in their hearts that after all, young people would be fearful, but Lin Ruhai stood up well and wonderfully just now, just standing on the apex of the hearts of the two emperors before and after.Everyone hadn't reacted before, and the free time made it possible for the higher-ups to see that he was not a fool, but also happily acted like he was loyal to the monarch and the country.To the one in front, this is a great loyal minister, and to the one in the back, he is a great capable official. You can make him clean both inside and out, and you have nothing to criticize.After the matter of the Zen position was settled, the emperor asked the palace servants to help him to rest due to lack of spirit, leaving only the new emperor to discuss with the ministers and businessmen how to appease the officials and even the people of the world.

Now the cabinet is faintly headed by Lin Ruhai, and it seems that he has stepped into the ranks of prime ministers.Just now the new emperor said, regardless of the old things for the time being, the first thing to do is to come up with a charter and start martial law. This kind of thing happened just after the New Year's Eve. No one has a good face, and they are anxious to find a bed. It's easier to see people when you're covered up.Therefore, it is better for Lin Ruhai to use the concubine's funeral as an excuse to stabilize the situation and the emperor's mood, and then free up his hands to slowly do other things.If things are slow, things will be smooth, and now we can only talk about it for the time being, as long as the people in Beijing are not stupid, they will not make such a point when the emperor is in a bad mood.Immediately afterwards, I heard him play: "Nowadays, everything is complicated. Please first issue the edict of the emperor's Zen position to calm the hearts of all officials, and then talk about the death of the concubine, and order the world. After the usual year, the ministers who worked hard in the previous year will be rewarded." Gong, it is advisable to add a title to the clan, and there are innocent victims of Shangyuan who were killed by the shadow of their heirs to secure the clan. Then the subordinates of the third division are responsible for thoroughly investigating the origin of these villains, and explaining to the clan and the people of the world." Words are also a good strategy.

At present, many ministers Lin Lin always came out to say some supplementary things, and it was not until the sixteenth of the first month to the seventeenth of the first month that the piles were arranged properly.So at noon on the seventeenth day of the first lunar month, there were sporadic pedestrians walking in a hurry on the street, and some people secretly opened the back door and sent their servants out to deliver things to relatives and neighbors.Now that the New Year's Day has just come out, many people may not be able to find charcoal because of the martial law. Even if they go to the market now, no one is open, and they don't know what kind of famine they are going to fight.

On the side of Xue's house, as soon as Shen Yu left, Baochai hurriedly called the big housekeeper, picked up the diligent and careful servants, brought ten catties of silver frost charcoal, and sent them to the shopkeepers' houses, and asked the cook to even out some dried red dates, lotus seeds, poria cocos Such calming things as well as good charcoal and sugar, and ordered a few inconspicuous women with rough clothes to visit Lin's, Yang's, Jia's and Mr. Wan's houses.Finally, after thinking about it, I still called Xue Panchang to come with Laifulaiwang to ask about the location of Shen Yu's house, and asked the two of them to bring the gift prepared above, and added a few extra special foods to send to Shen's house. Forget the meaning of grace.

It was not until the early morning of the eighteenth day of the first lunar month that the garrison guarding outside withdrew one by one.The soldiers of the five cities' soldiers and horses filled the streets and alleys posted Anmin notices, and civil and military officials of the fourth rank and above, as well as princes and ministers, entered the imperial city dressed according to their ranks. Immediately afterwards, the edict of the Zen position was passed from the palace to the outside, which was regarded as a change. The matter of the immediate boss is completely solid.The people in the capital haven't figured out whether they should make a show of celebration, and another knight sent a message on a flying horse, saying that an old concubine in the palace has passed away, and all orders will be served in the imperial court, according to the system of nobility .There is an edict to the world that all noble families are not allowed to have banquets and music for one year, and common people are not allowed to marry for three months.When Mrs. Xue heard the report, she patted her chest and sighed: "Sure enough, the teacher enshrined in the family is very powerful. I thought that the [-]th day of the first lunar month would be too late. Every family is busy with work. Unexpectedly, if I hadn't chosen this One day, it will be postponed for another season, and it will really delay the big event.” After speaking, he asked the wife next to him to go to the kitchen to make some sweet, glutinous and soft eight-treasure rice to send to the old sister-in-law of the Muni Academy, and then stared at home Xia hurriedly removed all the festive red colors for marriage, and the whole family changed into plain clothes to observe the vague national funeral according to the legal meaning.

On the afternoon of the [-]th day of the first lunar month, Xue Pan asked the clerk in the yamen to call him over. He had promised to take a ten-day vacation, but it was too late.The imperial edict for the Zen position between father and son has been issued, but how should the grand ceremony of the Zen position be arranged?And how to give the posthumous title of the deceased "Old Concubine", and how to talk about the elders of several clans who left in the first month.The sixth prince, who has just replaced his father, is so poor that he wants to cry when he sees the state treasury. How can he be considerate of the thoughts of the subordinates? .

It was also the eighteenth day of the first lunar month, and the Jin Yiwei guarding the palace also dragged several eunuchs, several barbarians and an orchid into the imperial prison, and the rest of the guards were still handed over according to the old calendar.Let’s just talk about these few eunuchs who usually flaunt their might, they were locked away tremblingly, and they were not reprimanded or beaten when they entered the prison. The only thing I saw was a handsome young man in a red flying fish suit with red phoenix eyes standing with his hands behind his back, smiling but not smiling. Said: "One person to one room, whoever thinks it through first will come out, and if he can't figure it out, he won't have to come out in this life." Then some strong men pushed the eunuchs into the small rooms that had been prepared one by one. People who are arrested are usually scared, but who will be afraid to come if they are locked in the house?At most, they will starve for a few days, and at least some master will find a way to rescue them.At the moment, they all sat down on the ground with peace of mind, thinking that when they got out, they would definitely make these shameless little officials look good!

The warriors settled the eunuchs, and took the barbarians to take care of them. At this time, a new entrant approached and asked, "Master Shen, if we are locked up like this, can these eunuchs confess honestly? "Shen Yu glanced at him with a smile: "You also underestimate the methods in the palace. Among these few eunuchs, which one has not climbed to the current position after suffering a great crime? Eunuchs have no children, so they cannot be officials. They can't do business, and they can't search the palace arbitrarily. They don't care about ordinary methods, and they are afraid that the forces behind them will try to catch people, so they have to use some tricks. Don't look at just a few dark rooms, and there are no lights and noises inside. In the past, no matter how hard-spoken people went in, they would hold out for two hours, crying and begging to confess, or making up their minds not to recruit, so there is no need to keep them. Right now we are short of manpower, just wait and see know."

Sure enough, after half an hour passed, the door was opened again, and the eunuchs inside were weeping bitterly, kowtowed and asked what to answer, it was never so convenient.The clerk next to him moved his pen like flying, and recorded these confessions for a whole day. In the evening, the confession was compiled into a file and submitted to the command envoy. Come back tomorrow morning, and I will be busy in the future, so I don't care about this moment." Shen Yu bowed her hands and bowed before she backed down.

All the way out from the palace gate, fortunately the Jinyiwei Yamen is not far from the imperial city, Shen Yu ran over and rode home, and arrived at the gate in half an hour.Seeing that he was finally coming back on time, the old Cangtou who guarded the gate came up and took the bit of the horse and was about to lead him in.Shen Yu was also worried that Mr. Shen was alone at home for so many days, and Ma Liu jumped off the horse and went straight to the main courtyard.When I entered the house, I saw that the kang was smoked and the cage was still warm. The old man was enjoying himself while holding the quilt and eating the duck, humming a little song and playing with the cat. He felt the big big yellow cat for a long time. A long strip sticks out, and the mouth that looks like a scarf is also chewing on something.

Mr. Shen was eating the duck well. He raised his head to see that his grandson had returned, and he nodded and squinted his eyes happily and said to him, "Are you back? I think this girl from Xue's family is very nice. It's cold and I'm still thinking about whether there are any shortages in other people's homes." Eating food over charcoal fire is affordable! He is a person who knows how to live." The old man came in and replied to Shen Yu: "Second Lord, this is the Xue family who said that they were afraid that there would be nowhere to buy under the martial law. I have seen them one by one, and they are all good things." Shen Yu nodded and let him go to rest, went to the big clothes, sat down and leaned on the smoker to bake his hands and laughed: "Do you look good? I think so too Unfortunately, I'm afraid I won't be able to climb high." Mr. Shen squinted his eyes and hummed twice: "It's not easy. Xue's own family is fine, but the relatives are not ordinary people. Their family's 'Ziwei Sheren' He has academic knowledge in his name, and the fourth-rank officials usually don’t come to his door. Oh, you are from the third rank now? Then you have to hurry up, I don’t think [-]% of them can do it!”

Shen Yu didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "I'm afraid that [-]% of the time is still biased against me for the sake of my grandson? For now, let's keep busy with the errands assigned by Shangfeng." Mr. Shen threw a duck bone and came over to hit him , Eyes full of hatred for iron and steel, said: "What is your future? Just wait, wait until the country's filial piety passes, and I will have to use my muscles and bones to ask you according to the etiquette. If you can't make it, at least don't do it for nothing. It doesn’t look like it.” As he spoke, he cast Shen Yu a look as if looking at something disgusting, got up, hugged the cat and drove him away with half a plate of ducks: “Go, go, go! You can’t win over a girl, why aren’t you stupid? Kill you." Shen Yu dodged to hide the duck bone, only smiled and coaxed the old man: "Isn't it because you plan to seriously want to marry someone else's girl that you will feel helpless? If it's just to arrest people, look at me!" Voice As soon as he dropped his eyes, he quickly stole a duck leg from the plate, took a bite, and ran out. The old man was so angry that he yelled at him: "I think you are a coward. If you kneel on the washboard in the future, don't expect me to agree with you!"

The author has something to say: This chapter is about to kill me... It took me a whole day to write it out.Fix bugs at night.
