Jia Zhu, the White Magic God of the Red Chamber

Chapter 36

Today's tea shop and his party opened the door to a new world for Prince Tu Ze.

Magician fighters, eternal life, etc., the powerful combat power of one is comparable to the entire army—what kind of emperor is he, so he can directly worship Jia Zhu as his teacher and learn magic!

However, Emperor Longxi could give up the throne to his crown prince in order to practice magic and pursue longevity. Could he be like Emperor Longxi who does not want the throne and only wants to live forever?

Obviously, impossible.

Tu Ze does have an eldest son, and because of Emperor Longxi, he can be regarded as a rare and caring father in the royal family.It's just that before that, Tu Ze didn't even think about being able to ascend the throne as the emperor, and he always took a low-key route in raising his children.

If he had committed any crimes, as long as he was not in the line of Concubine Zhen, his children's freedom might not be guaranteed, but they should still be able to live a prosperous and wealthy life.After all, emperors always care about face, and few people are willing to bear the reputation of treating their nephews harshly.

Therefore, Tu Ze's eldest son was originally very intelligent, but he was educated by Tu Ze to be a kind and easy-to-satisfied person.Such a person can save his life after the turmoil of seizing the heir, but he is not a good heir.

If Tu Ze's eldest son wanted to inherit the throne, he would have to be retrained for at least a few decades.After all, they are all nearly 20 years old, and the three views of personality have basically formed. It is not so easy to change.

But to let Tu Ze just give up the throne to his brother - he is really not that magnanimous.The brotherhood among their brothers is just an appearance, not only the ministers know this, even Emperor Longxi knows it very well.Even though it was only Concubine Zhen's lineage that had a big enmity with Tu Ze, his other brothers also worked very hard to hinder him.

Therefore, Tu Ze was also caught in a tangle like Emperor Longxi, but he made a decision much faster than Emperor Longxi.Since he is unwilling and unwilling to give up the throne to those brothers, he can only increase the cultivation of the eldest son.Before his eldest son grows up to be a qualified heir, he should first practice Dou Qi with Jia Zhu.

Although Dou Qi is not as good as magic in all aspects, it is still better than the martial arts secrets that Ouchi has collected.Those martial arts cheats have been practiced well, but flying over the walls can have a certain health effect. Immortality is completely a legend.

Before that, Tu Ze had always been wary of Emperor Longxi, but now this is different.Knowing that his father is pursuing longevity, and if he wants to live forever, he can't stay on the throne, Tu Ze felt a lot more relaxed.

Perhaps when Emperor Longxi first issued the edict to abdicate, he just wanted to see if he could really be a good emperor because of his ability to handle government affairs.Tu Ze is very confident in his ability. Although he is not like loyal, he was raised by Emperor Longxi himself, but his mother is not an ordinary woman.

The family inheritance of the Langya Wang family is beyond the guesswork of others.Since the Qin Dynasty flourished in the Southern Dynasty and experienced the Wei and Jin Dynasties, the Wang family of Langya never followed the Chen-Zhu Neo-Confucianism for the women of the family.The women of Langya Wang's family are not inferior to ordinary men in knowledge and strategy. Even though Queen Wang was born in a side branch, she still studied in the family's women's school when she was young.

There is no Emperor Longxi, but with the personal teaching of the Queen, Tu Ze thinks that he is not some pedantic fool who is good at women's hands.In addition, in the original dowry of Queen Wang, there were many books such as hand-copied and isolated copies passed down by the Langya Wang family for thousands of years. From these books, he also learned a lot.

Sometimes Tu Ze couldn't figure it out, did Emperor Longxi really not know the identity and background of the queen?After more than ten years of observation, he had to confirm one thing, Emperor Longxi really didn't know anything about it.Even now, in Emperor Longxi's heart, at least Tu Ze doesn't have to worry about his relatives.

Queen Wang's father, Cheng Engong, after Queen Wang became the concubine of Emperor Longxi, even though he did not resign, he just stayed in the Imperial Academy and devoted himself to reading sage books.After Emperor Longxi ascended the throne, this old gentleman became Duke Cheng'en, so he stayed at home and stopped serving as an official.And none of Queen Wang's brothers stayed in the capital, and went to live their own lives in different places.

Prince Tu Ze's mother clan didn't have a single official, and the only grandfather with a title was also a nerd, which made Emperor Longxi give Tu Ze a lot of points in his heart.

Emperor Longxi's attitude can only make people sigh at the selfishness of people's hearts.The eldest prince born by Concubine Zhen Gui was once the best heir in Emperor Longxi's heart, but at that time he never considered the issue of his relatives at all.The Zhen family behaved like that in Jiangnan, but Emperor Longxi still trusted him a lot.

Even for the sake of the Zhen family, he not only treats other sons as non-existent, but also treats his own courtiers as pawns like cannon fodder.

Among them, Ya'erlin's uncle Lin Ruhai bears the brunt.

However, this Lin Ruhai is also very cunning, taking advantage of the old relationship between his wife's family Jia's family and Zhen's family, he neither explicitly rejects the Zhen family nor joins them, but insists on being his pure minister who is only for Emperor Longxi.It's a pity that this pure minister is not pure enough, if he hadn't been optimistic about the loyalty of the eldest prince, he wouldn't have been making love in Yangzhou all the time.

If Emperor Longxi didn't suddenly announce his abdication and let the crown prince succeed him, Lin Ruhai would be the best way to do things like this.But now, Lin Ruhai is an ant roasted on the fire.Neither Emperor Longxi nor the soon-to-be crown prince would have any good impression of the slippery him.If he died on duty in Jiangnan, the imperial court would not appease his relatives.

Lin Ruhai's face turned pale when he learned from the new issue of the palace newspaper that Emperor Longxi was about to abdicate with the crown prince on the ninth day of September.Originally, he was happy that Xinde's daughter was extremely intelligent, and after taking the medicine Jia Zhu sent, his health gradually improved, his wife's health also recovered, and the government affairs in his hands were handled like a fish in water, but now, it is like falling ice cave.

It's not that he has done anything to make Emperor Longxi and the Crown Prince grudge, but he is very clear that his behavior is actually not liked by the superiors.I thought that the final winner was either the loyal prince or the other sons of Concubine Zhen, but it turned out that the prince succeeded to the throne!

If he had known this before, why would he have been persuaded by Jia Shishi to give the Zhen family so much convenience in private!The same is true for Jia Shi's family. It is obvious that the Rongguo Mansion is the vassal allocated to the crown prince by Emperor Longxi, but in the end they just want to stand restlessly.Don't talk about your own position, and drag him into the water!

Lin Ruhai took a sip of hot tea with slightly trembling hands, calming down his dizzy thoughts.He just calmed down and thought of a possibility, no matter how much hot tea he drank, he still couldn't feel warm, only a burst of cold from the bottom of his heart.

Earlier, Emperor Longxi had paid attention to him when the inspector censor changed his post. Later, he used his connections in the capital to avoid taking this position, which is a hot yam even though Jane is in the emperor's heart.But thinking about it now, maybe he is not as popular with Emperor Longxi as he was in the past, or else according to his qualifications and Jane's degree of love in the emperor's heart, he should have gotten this position anyway.

In the end, Emperor Longxi appointed Mr. Gu who came from the capital.

Lin Ruhai has no friendship with Mr. Gu, only Mrs. Gu and his wife Jia Min were best friends when they were not out of the cabinet.Madam diplomacy is important, but some things cannot be affected by Madam diplomacy.For example, Emperor Longxi abdicated to the Crown Prince, no matter how good the relationship was, he would not dare to meddle casually!

Knowing that what he did before will definitely dissatisfy the current prince and the future emperor, and this time the new emperor will have to go back to Beijing to watch the ceremony, Lin Ruhai has a headache.Even though Jia Zhu gave him a strong sense of presence in front of him before, that good impression was completely canceled out in this abdication incident.

This matter can't be blamed on Lin Ruhai's unkindness, it's Jia Shishi who made him suffer too much.

Lin Ruhai's parents are long gone, and Jia Shi often regards himself as an elder in front of him.In addition, Lin Ruhai kept filial piety for his parents for six consecutive years, even if he relied on Tanhua, his father-in-law Jia Daishan could stand out in front of Emperor Longxi and become his trusted minister.

It's useless for the Lin family to have inheritance in Gusu, and it's useless for the Lin family's offshoots to have officials who have become officials. Whoever told them that none of them worked in the capital!

It was because Jia Daishan, the father-in-law, did a good job that Lin Ruhai later regarded Jia Shi as his elder.And Jia Shishi is a person who is used to being a man, as shrewd as Lin Ruhai, he didn't find anything wrong, until this time he sighed in his heart that he was in a thief's boat.

Now that the matter has come to this point, it is useless for him to regret and complain, Lin Ruhai only hopes that the direct line of the Lin family will not be cut off from him.Before returning to Beijing to watch the ceremony, he must think of a complete way to come out.If not, he can only choose to become an official.

The official is gone, and the descendants may still earn it back.If his life is gone, then the direct line of the Lin family will have nothing!

No matter how good the daughter Lin Daiyu is, she is also a daughter, and she will belong to someone else's family in the future.Although it is possible to establish a female household, it is not difficult to establish a female household. It is not easy for a female household to stand firmly at this time.Originally, men were superior to women, but suddenly a female household who was in charge of the house appeared, not to mention those clear streams, even the Lin family clan would not agree!

Here, when Lin Ruhai had a headache and was about to take his anger out on Jia Min and Lin Daiyu, the Rongguo Mansion ushered in the Xuanzhi eunuch who came out of the palace.

After the incense table was prepared, Jia Shishi dressed up according to the original makeup, and led Jia Sheyi and Jia Zhengyifang who had also packed up, knelt down in the yard in front of Rongxi Hall, and listened to the eunuch read out the imperial edict.The eunuchs who announced the decree were usually eunuchs who had some face in the palace, this time it was even more serious, it was Dai Quan who was next to Emperor Longxi to announce the decree.Therefore, Jia Shishi and others knelt down on the ground silently, worrying about the unknown fate.

"Old Madam, is everyone here?" Dai Quan glanced at the people kneeling on the ground, raised his left eyebrow slightly, and asked in a shrill voice.

When Jia Shishi heard the words and looked back, when he saw Jia Zheng behind him, he squinted his eyes and gave Mrs. Wang and Li Wan a hard look before turning around.

"Eunuch Dai, Sun Da, the head of the old second room, went out early in the morning and was never at home." She smiled all over her face, moved her fingers on the purse tied around her waist, and after attracting Dai Quan's attention, she continued, "The old second room The eldest grandson has neither a title nor an official position, Eunuch Dai, what do you think?"

If it was normal, Dai Quan would just let it go. After all, as Jia Shishi said, the emperor's edicts are always announced to those with titles and official positions. Jia Zhu only has a reputation for educating people. It's not a big problem.

But this time is different, this imperial decree was originally issued by Emperor Longxi for Jia Zhu.What's more, not only Emperor Longxi was watching this matter, but the crown prince Tu Ze was also looking forward to it!
