Practical Life in the Red Mansion

Lin Yang was naturally happy to be able to leave the Lin family at this juncture, otherwise he was afraid that he would not be able to hold back, but on the other hand, he felt uneasy that the emperor still favored him as always, and did not shy away from rumors outside, which was nothing. What disturbed Lin Yang the most was that the Supreme Emperor went with him.

It is not an easy task for the royal family to go out. It will take at least ten days and half a month or more to prepare, but this time it is inexplicably fast. It only takes a few days from the decree to the departure.

Lin Yang is not qualified to ride a sedan chair, so he can only ride a horse in the cold weather. Fortunately, the family prepared a leather mattress for him to cover his hands, otherwise he would not even be able to hold the reins.Lin Yang was mixed in the crowd and walked slowly with a large number of people. Although there were acquaintances, it was not easy to chat casually in this situation. Lin Yang was bored, but observed the situation around him.

In the front are the imperial chariots of the Supreme Emperor and the Emperor, followed by concubines, and guards on both sides. The front is the standard-bearer guard, followed by the Jinwu Guard and Habayashi Guard. There is no problem with the defense, but Lin Yang is still keen to find the weirdness in it. One of the twelve guards of the capital only dispatched five guards, and the second standard-bearer guards is a bit strange. These people are in charge of big golden drums and flag banners, which are equivalent to the etiquette team of later generations. They should be equipped with ritual knives, but Lin Yang took a closer look, and these people were equipped with Mo Dao. If Mu Zheng hadn't told him about the sabers of the Twelve Guards before, he might not have noticed.

The Hot Spring Palace is built on the hillside. The Taishang Emperor had bad legs, feet and knees during the early imperial conquests, which caused stinging pain in winter. Therefore, he really likes to come here to spend the winter in winter, but this is the first time since he abdicated.

After Lin Yang had a rest, he saw that the Supreme Emperor and the emperor had gone hunting in the paddock in the east with a group of honorable sons of the clan. It won't come out, and it's still shivering from the cold.Lin Yang lazily rode his horse and fell behind the crowd. Although he didn't hunt the prey, it allowed him to feel the surrounding terrain clearly.

The other palace is surrounded by mountains in the east, west, and north. The paddock is built on a small hillside in the east. The hillside ends with a cliff, and the south side is where they came. .Lin Yang strolled around, thinking that if someone surrounded the south, the other palace would be wrapped like dumplings.

Lin Yang didn't expect that he had a crow's mouth, and he was very happy a few days ago. He helped the emperor deal with some political affairs during the day, and slept comfortably after soaking in the hot spring at night. No ministers including Lin Yang were summoned at all.

This day, Lin Yang went to bed early as usual, but he heard a sound of fighting between half-dream and half-awake. Lin Yang was confused, thinking that he was dreaming, and covered his head with the quilt, but the sound continued continuously, even getting more and more loud. bigger.With the sound of knocking on the door, Lin Yang sat up in a daze, and Sanqi's anxious voice came from the door again: "Master, open the door, something happened."

Lin Yang woke up in a jerk, put on his clothes and went to see the door, saw Sanqi anxiously circling at his door and said, "Lord Ke is rebellious." Lin Yang couldn't react for a while, and asked blankly: "Who Reversed?" Sanqi pushed Lin Yang back into the room regardless of etiquette, picked up the bedside clothes and helped Lin put them on.

Seeing him twisting his clothes into a ball in a panic, Lin Yang hurriedly stopped him and asked, "What happened?" Sanqi replied, "Lord Ke is rebellious, and the emperor ordered all civil and military officials to come forward." The palace. The father-in-law who delivered the decree is still waiting at the door." Lin Yang quickened his movements, but his mind was still extremely surprised that Prince Ke had turned his back, and he turned his back.

Lin Yang followed Sanqi out of the room, and saw a little eunuch standing at the door holding a lantern, surrounded by several guards with knives. There were several officials living in this yard, and the little eunuch had gathered when they saw everyone , just walked in the front to lead the way, and the guards were behind the apse. Lin Yang and his colleagues were not in the mood to exchange pleasantries, and everyone was probably confused.

Prince Ke has always been very responsible, and the emperor also values ​​him, this idea has been spinning in Lin Yang's mind.

When Lin Yang rushed to the front hall, the emperor was sitting on the dragon chair in the center. Because of the dim light, Lin Yang couldn't see the emperor's expression clearly. The emperor's subordinates stood in the main hall with all the officials and clan, surrounded by Lin Yang took a closer look at the guards with bows and arrows and big knives on their backs. The foot was extremely stable, and they walked vigorously, but there was a murderous look in their eyes. They should have killed people on the battlefield, definitely not It's Jingli's guard.

Lin Yang calmed down. The appearance of this group of people around the emperor meant that the emperor had already made preparations.

A young eunuch hurriedly slipped in through the side door and whispered the situation outside beside the emperor. The emperor hummed but remained silent.

A minister hesitantly persuaded: "Your Majesty, there are many dangers here. The emperor does not sit in a dangerous hall. I implore the emperor to retreat to the back mountain." His words were echoed by many people. .

The emperor got up and walked forward step by step. In the astonishment of everyone, he pushed open the door of the main hall. The sound of shouting and fighting came with the cold air. He was as immobile as a mountain, making those who looked at him inexplicably calm down.

He said coldly: "I only want to follow the example of Emperor Chengzu." Emperor Chengzu followed Emperor □□ to conquer the Situ family. Military life.The biggest crisis that Emperor Chengzu faced was being besieged by his younger brother in Xishan. Emperor Chengzu personally led troops to resist and beheaded him in front of the palace.

The ministers immediately wanted to persuade the emperor to change his mind, but the emperor remained silent and stared into the darkness in the distance.Lin Yang looked at the appearance of the emperor, but felt that the emperor did not necessarily want to follow the example of Emperor Chengzu to fight, but followed the example of Emperor Chengzu to kill his own brother.

When the atmosphere was at a stalemate, there was the sound of uniform armor colliding in the distance, and everyone looked outside and widened their eyes, wanting to see who the leader was, and Lin Yang did the same.

The eunuchs in the main hall also hurriedly raised their lamps to greet the group of people. As the voice became louder, Lin Yang finally saw clearly the leader, who was wearing a silver-white armor covered with blood. The saber that was also dripping with blood walked over like a light fur belt.

He knelt down on one knee and said, "I have killed the traitor and rebellious son under the horse." After speaking, he held up the soldier talisman in his hand and said, "Chen Te, come and return the soldier talisman." Lin Yang looked at him with a gentle expression. The matter of killing the enemy in the mouth is like taking a walk in the courtyard, but the killing intent exudes from the whole body, which makes people feel cold.

"Okay, okay." The emperor helped him up and praised him again and again: "I really didn't misunderstand you, Jiang Huaiguang, you really didn't disappoint me." Only then did Lin Yang realize that this person was Jiang Jing and Jiang Huaiguang, although he had never seen him before. He, but his name and deeds are like thunder.Lin Yang remembered that when Princess Xunyang had a flower banquet, he set off for Shanxi, and when did he sneak back to the capital.

The emperor over there ordered in a deep voice: "I will lead you to lead the Jingwei, and search for the rebels with all your strength." Jiang Jing should be, leading the guards and retreating.Lin Yang was only immersed in the shock of seeing Jiang Jing for the first time. Only when Jiang Jing withdrew did Lin Yang realize what Jiang Jing wanted to repay. Jiang Jing killed Prince Ke.

Lin Yang only thought it was absurd. Lord Ke's rebellion was like a joke. He raised his troops in a hurry and was beheaded in a hurry, without even showing his face. Everything was under the emperor's control. Lin Yang thought it would be thrilling , but when he looked back when he got old, he only remembered that it was very cold that night.A series of events followed one after another. The rebellion of Lord Ke was like a stone thrown into a lake. Although there were waves, there was no trace.

The rebellion was not hidden from the Taishanghuang, but what the Taishanghuang didn't expect was that his rebellious son died, and he didn't even see him for the last time.He snapped at the emperor and said, "That's your younger brother. You couldn't wait to take his life before you found out the right and wrong. If you took his life today, do you want my life tomorrow?"

When the emperor knelt down and looked at the sorrowful expression on the face of the Supreme Emperor, he felt a burst of joy in his heart, and said word by word: "Conspiracy, the first of the ten evils, is always forgiven. Conspiracy and conspiracy The head and subordinates will be beheaded regardless of their head. Fathers and sons over sixteen years old will be hanged. Mothers, daughters, wives, concubines, ancestors, grandsons, brothers, younger brothers, sisters, and servants, assets, and fields under fifteen years old will be executed. There are no officials in the house, and the sons of uncles and brothers also travel three thousand miles, regardless of the similarities and differences of household registration."

Taishanghuang felt a pain in his heart, covered his chest, and said, "You still remember?"

The emperor looked up at the twilight Taishanghuang and replied: "Yes." This is what the Taishanghuang said when he knew that Prince Xiaomin was rebelling. Prince Min was placed under house arrest, but the rest of the East Palace died.

The Supreme Emperor's strength seemed to be drained instantly, and he murmured: "It's been more than 20 years, and you still remember him."

"Of course I remember my elder brother." The emperor replied loudly.

The Supreme Emperor closed his eyes, the emperor remembered, and he also remembered, the scene more than 20 years ago was as if it happened yesterday, and the memory was still fresh.

The Taishanghuang suddenly opened his eyes, bursting out of his whole body, and said condescendingly: "I want Jiang Jing to pay the old twelve with his life."

The emperor snorted softly as if hearing some funny joke and said: "I have appointed Jiang Jing to command the Jingwei. He is a rare general. Let him pay for the life of the old twelve, and we have to look at the old twelve's match." Not worthy."

"You." The Supreme Emperor was so angry that he couldn't say a word. His son, who had always been obedient, showed his sharp minions in front of him, which made him hard to guard against.

The emperor waved his hand, and immediately many guards poured in quietly from the hall, the emperor looked at the emperor with pity and said: "Father is not in good health, you should take good care of your body, don't worry about these trivial things."

"Nizi, you are the one who committed the crime below, and I will abolish you." The Supreme Emperor gritted his teeth.The emperor didn't say a word, turned around and left. He endured for so long and finally chopped off the Taishanghuang's minions, so naturally he didn't take the Taishanghuang's threat seriously.

"Oh, by the way, isn't the father curious, why do I know about the old twelve's rebellion?" The emperor turned his head and smiled lightly: "It's all thanks to the prince Teng Wang, who was promoted by the father himself."
