I am a man in a dream

Mrs. Wang hurriedly came to visit after hearing the letter, so as to comfort her, she handed over the matter to Jia Lian.A few days later, Jia Lian rushed to report that Jia Zheng was going back to Beijing.Mrs. Wang was shocked. Officials who had been sent outside were not allowed to return to Beijing without a decree. How did the master come back after only one year in office? After careful questioning, he found out that Jia Zheng was impeached for failing to serve, and the emperor ordered him to return to Beijing to make a copy.Mrs. Wang couldn't help crying like rain.

Jia Lian took the order and waited at the outer door until late at night when Jia Zheng let him go. When he got off the sedan chair and saw Jia Lian, he didn't know what to say, so he had to pat him on the shoulder and went back to the house.The next day, Jia Yucun came to visit and asked why.Jia Zheng's expression was very respectful, but Jia Yucun, who had always relied on Jia's family, sat in a loose and rude manner.When Jia Lian was young, Jia Lian invited Lin Hongming to meet him. When Jia Yucun saw him, he got up and said, "Master Lin, please sit down. It's polite to be an official." Lin Hongming smiled back and said, "You are welcome, Da Sima. You and I are both officials of the imperial court. Each other. Sit together!" When Jia Zheng saw Lin Hongming, it was as if he had seen a life-saving straw, and he carefully explained the matter asked by the Holy One.Lin Hongming felt bad when he heard it, but he didn't dare to speak out, so he could only persuade him with good words to make him feel relieved.Jia Zheng said again: "My virtuous nephew, brother Yucun and Prince Zhongshun have some friendship, and I hope to speak well in front of him." Jia Yucun flashed his light and agreed.Lin Hongming glanced at him and said nothing.When Jia Yucun left, Lin Hongming said, "How can uncle be lucky when his life is at stake?" Jia Zheng was shocked and asked why.Lin Hongming said: "The Holy Majesty asked about the ancestor's name taboo, intending to talk about him. It was just to inquire about the old case of Yizhong Wang Lao Qiansui. Fortunately, my family didn't use that plaque, so we can escape one or two. For the immediate plan, uncle should immediately Prepare generous gifts and go to Prince Zhongshun to plead guilty and ask for forgiveness. You must not rely on Jia Yucun." Jia Zheng didn't know the reason: "Your elder sister is the imperial concubine. My family has made great achievements for generations, so there is still the disaster of destroying the family? Besides, Yucun and My family has always been on good terms with each other, and I have single-handedly promoted me, so can I still be harmed?" Lin Hongming said angrily, "Uncle is confused, then Jia Yucun has already voted for the loyal prince, it's not that the nephew said something sad, he is kind if he doesn't frame uncle, why? I will also help my uncle. If my uncle believes that we are close relatives, he will prepare generous gifts and go to Zhongshun Wangfu to pray for forgiveness. Then he will go to the sage, confess his sins, and ask for heavy punishment. After hearing this, Jia Zheng hurriedly ordered Jia Lian to make preparations. Because the officials had no money, they had to take most of the dowry of Mrs. Wang, took tens of thousands of funds from the two families to Zhongshun Mansion, and another 1 taels to go to Wei Duwei. Please forgive me.After a while, Lin Hongming came to inquire about the situation, and learned that although Prince Zhongshun had a bad face, he accepted the money.Lin Hongming felt relieved a little.

After the morning court was over, the Holy Admiral Lin Hongming stayed behind.Lin Hongming knelt in front of the emperor, and the Holy Majesty did not speak after two hours. He knelt respectfully and did not say a word.After another moment, the Holy Majesty said: "I heard that you went to see your uncle yesterday?" Lin Hongming said bluntly: "Uncle invites you, Hongming dare not not go." The Holy Majesty turned cold and snorted and said: "You I just went to Jia's mansion yesterday, and today I have the confession letter in my hands, but what was your idea?" Lin Hongming said: "Uncle called the minister and stated the words of the Holy Majesty. I asked the minister to come up with an idea. How could I have any idea?" What kind of idea is this, just to persuade my uncle, the Holy Majesty is a wise king, who has always been punished for his crimes and rewarded for his meritorious deeds, if there is anything wrong with him, he should introspect." His Majesty's face softened slightly after hearing this, and he asked again: "What should you do? "Lin Hongming hurriedly said: "I read the books of sages and sages, and eat the salary of the sages. I only know how to serve the court and live up to the grace of the sages." "In my court, there are clear laws and regulations. If you are short of office, the light ones will be exiled, and the serious ones will be beheaded." The sage sneered and said, "According to your words, Jia Zheng should be executed?" Qingyan has become a celebrity in front of the imperial court, the emperor is merciful, and the father of the vassal is Wen Jinbo. I can't express it in words, I only know your majesty, and I don't know anything else. Although Jia Zheng is an uncle of a minister, he is also a minister of your majesty. The so-called guideline of the ruler, the minister, the minister, the father, the son and the son, the ruler is the first, and the father is the second. If the minister does not understand this truth, So I read poems and books in vain. My uncle made a mistake and claimed that he was punished. Although the minister could not bear it, he could not forgive him. After all, the law of the country is greater than human feelings. If everyone ignores the law of the country, who will obey the laws of the court? , Your Majesty has made a decision, I just need to listen respectfully and act carefully." His Majesty's eyes softened slightly, and he made him stand up: "I know your character, of course. Step back!"

In less than a month, news came that the historian had been fired.Lin Hongming sighed secretly, knowing that Jia's family could not escape to heaven.

After Mrs. Wang finished her meditation, Jia Lian went back and forth: "Congratulations, madam!" Mrs. Wang asked hurriedly.Jia Lian replied: "Brother Bao is coming back soon! A few days ago, the saint issued a decree to leave only the king of Beijing and a few princes to guard the border, and the rest will be sent home." Mrs. Wang was overjoyed and said hurriedly: "Go quickly. Go back to the old lady and make her happy." Jia Lian took the order, but was not in a hurry to go back.Mrs. Wang urged: "Go!" Jia Lian said hesitantly, "Brother Xue's case is a bit troublesome." Mrs. Wang was startled, and asked, "But what?" , Prince Zhongshun stabbed a knife, fearing that something bad will happen, he already cut off the name of the household department yesterday." Mrs. Wang sat on the couch in shock: "What?" After receiving the letter, Mrs. Wang went to visit Aunt Xue, but she knew that Aunt Xue I have already got the letter, and I am crying at my desk.The stools and tables in the house were crooked, and it was a mess.The attacker who followed asked, "What's the matter?" The servant girl said, "Our grandma threw up when she heard the letter, and Baochan's little hoof slandered her, so she smashed and threw a lot of trouble. I went back to my mother's house." After hearing this, Xiren had no choice but to help clean up.Aunt Xue cried: "That wicked obstacle has caused misfortune. If he didn't tell himself, he also tired his sister." Mrs. Wang hurriedly asked, "Baochai?" Aunt Xue said, "This is not the shadow of our ancestors." The seal is also lost, and Baochai's candidate for election will be lost." After hearing this, Mrs. Wang felt sad.When Xiren heard this, his heart moved, and he didn't know what to think.After returning home, Xiren went to Mrs. Wang for an audience: "Madam, isn't Miss Bao's candidate for election important? How about it?" Mrs. Wang said: "A few months ago I went to the palace to see your empress, what does your empress mean?" Attacker said: "At that time, Miss Bao was waiting to be selected, and the empress was naturally not able to stop her. Now that Miss Bao's affairs have become serious, the empress may reconsider." See you in the palace.

Lin Hongming knew that if Baoyu married Baochai, Daiyu would die in tears, so he went to see Concubine Yuan before Mrs. Wang.Concubine Yuan's original intention was Baochai. Seeing the decline of the Xue family and the prosperity of the Lin family, she was not favored by the imperial court. She wanted to consider for the family, so she had to disobey her mother's order and order Daiyu. I have to tell the truth.Mrs. Wang heard this, although she was unwilling, but she had no choice but to leave. Before leaving, she said: "When the Xue family was in its heyday, it did a lot of work to keep you safe in the palace. Now Baochai is old. Big, there is no hope for candidates to be selected, and the family is not as good as before, if there is no good place to go, how can I see your aunt?" Yuan Chun was silent for a long time.After a few days, a decree came out from the palace to order Baoyu and Daiyu to get married. Baochai bestowed Lin Hongming on an auspicious day for marriage. According to human relations, the older brother should come first and the younger sister should follow.Lin Hongming was shocked, and hurriedly asked why, but Concubine Yuan disappeared due to illness.Lin Hongming had no choice but to see the Holy Majesty. The Majesty asked the reason and felt displeased. However, the decree had been made, so it was hard to say anything, so he had to be wronged.

Lin Hongming returned home dejectedly, and Yaqi persuaded: "Miss Bao is beautiful and beautiful, and the second master is not at a disadvantage." Lin Hongming said angrily, "Even if a fairy comes down to earth, I have no intention of getting married." Yaqi said angrily: "Second Lord is talking crazy again. Boys should be married and girls should be married. How can anyone not get married? Could it be that Second Master is going to become a monk?" Lin Hongming sighed: "It's better to be a monk, how clean." Yaqi thought With a thud, he hurriedly said: "Second Lord is crazy again. Even if Second Master does not think about himself, he must also consider for Miss Bao. If Second Master insists on refusing, not to mention violating the will of the empress, even Miss Bao will not be able to be a human being. , There is only one way to die. The second master has always been kind, can you bear it? Even if the second master is ruthless, and our girls need the second master to take care of them, without the support of the second master, just like Mrs. Wang, our girl's life is hard. "Lin Hongming said angrily: "Concubine Yuan made the decree only after she had calculated it. She knows that I am not willing to let my sister suffer, so she will protect her well. If I insist on refusing, this decree will not count, so my sister's marriage I don't know what to do? I can't ask my uncle in person, otherwise my sister will be a laughing stock when she gets married? Although the Holy Majesty is very kind, after all, he doesn't care about such things." Yaqi snickered in her heart after hearing this: "At any rate Let the second master get married, and the merits and virtues have been completed." Lin Hongming said angrily: "You little hoof, but I got married, so you and Qianqing went happily." Yaqi blushed with shame , ran away.

Unexpectedly, the Holy Majesty suddenly sent Lin Hongming to inspect Yandao, so the wedding was postponed.Here, as soon as Lin Hongming took office, Concubine Yuan passed away. When Jia Mu heard the letter, she was so frightened that she passed out.The Jia family burst into tears immediately, and what is even more surprising is that the posthumous title of Concubine Yuan has not been finalized for a long time, which is incredible.Jia Zheng, Jia She, Jia Zhen and others gathered together to discuss countermeasures.Jia Rong said: "Should we ask for the title on the form ourselves?" Jia Zheng shook his head.Three days later, the imperial decree was issued, and Concubine Yuan was buried with the ceremony of a nobleman without a title.The Jia family cried into a ball, and Madam Wang almost fainted from crying.
