Chapter 425 Lin Ruhai Returns to Beijing

While Baochai and everyone in the Jia family were making excuses, Zhu Jinghong was also making a fuss in the east hall of Kunning Palace.

"Thirteenth Brother, then this matter is settled. I will go to your house to have a look in a few days."

"Thirteenth Sister, this requires mother's consent. Okay, it’s useless for you to tell me.”

“You go and tell me”

“They won’t listen even if I tell them.” Zhu Jinghong slowly put down his tea cup. He seemed relaxed and casual.

Seeing him perfunctory with the princess, Daiyu couldn't stand it anymore, so she walked behind Zhu Jinghong and said slowly, "Thirteenth Master, when you were deeply trapped in Shanglin Garden, the princess tried her best to rescue you. For I don’t know how many times I’ve been to Qianqing Palace, and I don’t know how many good things I’ve said.”

“Now that the princess needs help, you shirk it. This is not what a man would do.”

Looking back at Dai Jade, Zhu Jinghong said slowly, "But I have never said that I am a real man."

Daiyu pouted and said, "The Thirteenth Master said that he is not a real man. If this word gets out, you are not afraid of losing face."

"Girl Lin, I have lost face for a long time, and I am still afraid of losing face."

These words really choked Daiyu, so much so that she didn't know how to answer.

As long as I lie flat enough, no one can knock me down, Zhu Jinghong thought.

"Returning to the Ming Dynasty's number one warrior, I think you really don't live up to your name." Daiyu said this last sentence, turned and walked away.

"Brother Thirteen, look at you, everyone has deserted you," Zhu Yunsheng said angrily.

However, just after she finished speaking, she saw Zhen Qin peeling an orange, walked to Zhu Jinghong and said, "Thirteenth Master, please eat the fruit."

Taking the orange smoothly, Zhu Jinghong He smiled and said, "Third sister, I'm not betraying my relatives. You see, Qin girl is facing me."

"Since she is devoted to you, Thirteenth brother will take her back to the palace and appoint her as a servant." "Yeah," Zhu Yunsheng said angrily, not forgetting to glare at Zhen Qin at this moment.

At this moment Zhen Qin was staring directly at Zhu Jinghong, just hoping that he would agree on the spot, so that she would recognize him as a waiter.

When I enter the palace, I will first focus on pleasing the Thirteenth Master, and then make friends with the princess. It will not be difficult for me to become a concubine in the future. Zhen Qin started to think again.

Seeing her stupid look, Zhu Jinghong immediately looked at his sister and said, "Third sister, Girl Qin is yours, how can I take away someone's love?"

But he As soon as he said these words, Xiangyun jumped behind him, clapped his hands and said, "So what Thirteenth Master means is that if Sister Qin is not the princess, she will be brought into the palace."

It turns out that Thirteenth Master was interested in Zhen Qin’s mind, and his mind began to race, thinking about how to solve these troubles.

"Girl Yun, why don't you come to my palace? I think you are quite good," Zhu Jinghong pointed out.

Uncle Xiangyun appointed Tongzhi, the commander of the military and horse divisions of the five cities, responsible for the defense of the entire capital, which was really useful to Zhu Jinghong.

But it was only of some use. The historian was absolutely loyal to the emperor and could not change his position for the sake of a daughter.

"Girl Yun, did you hear that the Thirteenth Master is going to make you his concubine? Haha" Daiyu covered her mouth and laughed.

"Humph, I won't talk to you anymore" Xiangyun left angrily. How could a serious girl like her tolerate such a joke.

"Girl Lin, look at how angry Yatou Yun is." Zhu Jinghong immediately threw the blame.

When everyone was noisy, Yang Jingting came out with a book, looked at Daiyu and others and said, "Okay, stop making trouble, jokes must be moderate."

"Especially you, Lin Yatou, you talk about the concubine so well, marriage is just a piece of cake."

When she said this, Yang Jingting felt particularly uncomfortable, because she was the concubine of the palace.

"Okay, okay, I should go back and talk to you in a few days." Zhu Jinghong stood up and left.

"Brother Thirteen, when will you take me out?"

"We'll discuss it later, let's discuss it later"

After saying that, Zhu Jinghong walked away , he was really afraid of being asked by Zhu Yunsheng. < /p>

"Princess, this"

"Sister Ting, don't you help me too"

When Yang Jingting was kidnapped by morality, Zhu Jinghong had slipped out of Kunning Door, but he didn't know that he was a bit behind today and met the emperor who was taking a walk.

Zhu Xianming was in a good mood. He had a good chat with Zhao Yushan, the chief assistant who was accompanying him, and he had a relatively optimistic judgment about the future situation.

Looking at his youngest son standing in front of him and saluting, Zhu Xianming said coldly, "Fengfenghuohuo is half as noble as a sect king."

"Dad, my son is born noble. This is a change." If you don't understand the fact, who calls me your son?"

"You"

For a moment, Zhu Xianming didn't know what to say, because the essence of the matter was like this.

"Look at this kid, I'm really confused and have no clue how to educate my son." Zhu Xianming complained to Zhao Yushan behind him.

Zhao Yushan raised his waist and replied, "Your Highness knows that Your Majesty is kind, so even though he is naughty, he is still very talented."

"He is also very talented, and he is not diligent in all aspects of his body and does not distinguish between grains and grains." "My son would have starved to death outside if it weren't for this stuff," Zhu Xianming said calmly.

"Dad, I have to correct you a little bit," Zhu Jinghong said solemnly.

"How"

"According to what my son knows in Jinling, most people work hard for a year and barely have enough to eat, so it is normal for people like my son to starve to death"< /p>

Zhu Jinghong’s words frightened Zhao Yushan who was standing beside him. Others who said this were simply seeking death.

“YourIt means that my people are in dire straits." Zhu Xianming said with a cold expression.

"What I mean by not having a son is that the clearing of abbotship that you always promote, that is, the taxation based on land, has to be solved. Do it quickly, so that fewer people will starve to death," Zhu Jinghong replied seriously.

"You know nothing," Zhu Xianming scolded.

Although Zhu Xianming was scolding, his The anger has dissipated.

Even after almost a year, he still remembered Zhu Jinghong's views on sharing the family with his family, and knew that this boy had a thorough understanding of the matter of Qing Zhang. Zhao Yushan was also surprised by these words. He originally thought that this man was only interested in martial arts.

"Your Highness also feels that clearing the land and collecting taxes according to the land will be beneficial to the people." Zhao Yushan. I couldn't help but ask.

"Isn't it obvious that asking people with more land to pay more taxes will benefit the people?" Zhu Jinghong asked back.

"What your Highness said is absolutely true. "Yes." Zhao Yushan smiled, becoming more and more interested in the prince in front of him.

"You wander around all day long, and you don't have a proper form. It's your responsibility to worry about how the North Four Guards are doing." Can you be dragged to the battlefield?" Zhu Xianming changed the subject.

"My son thinks he has practiced well, but he says it is useless. Dad, would you take time to review it?"

Hearing this Zhu Xianming was obviously moved by the suggestion. After thinking about it, he said, "Let's prepare first and let the envoys come to Beijing to participate in the first month of next year."

I knew that the old man would choose this time. After all, who doesn't like to pretend? Sorry

"My son understands"

"I have arranged for you to be a royal official, how is your studies now"

"My son has been studying hard"

"I have learned all four books"

"Wang Changshi taught me very well, and my son has made great progress recently"

Seeing that Zhu Jinghong answered the question incorrectly, Zhu Xianming was cold She glanced at him and then said, "You'd better be more attentive and wait for me to take the exam. If you can't answer the answer,"

"Break your son's legs."

After being reminded by the emperor again, Zhu Jinghong was able to escape and leave. It was already half an hour after he returned to the palace.

The congratulatory people had left, and Baochai had just taken off his makeup. Lying on the couch and taking a nap.

"Mother, the prince has returned home"

"Yes" Baochai still squinted his eyes.

After a while, the room came. There were footsteps outside, and it was Zhu Jinghong who had already changed his clothes.

He learned from the maid that Baochai was taking a rest. Zhu Jinghong's footsteps were obviously lighter, and he saw Baochai leaning on the couch when he entered the room.

"See"

Everyone in the room was about to salute, but was stopped by Zhu Jinghong, who did not want to disturb Baochai's rest.

However. At this time, Baochai had opened his eyes and looked at Zhu Jinghong who had walked in front of him.

"Baochai, why are you lying down? In the past, you were either reading or doing embroidery." Zhu Jinghong sat down.asked on the couch.

“Don’t mention it, I’m exhausted today.” Baochai sat upright.

"Ying'er, pour some tea."

Zhu Jinghong replied, "For canonization, all the rituals are very complicated, and it is not easy for a royal daughter-in-law to do it."

From Ying'er took the teacup in her hand, and Baochai handed it to Zhu Jinghong and said, "Not only am I tired physically, but my heart is tired too."

After taking the teacup, Zhu Jinghong smiled and said, "My heart is tired"< /p>

Seeing that Zhu Jinghong didn't take it seriously, Baochai continued, "I won't talk about the ceremony in the morning. In the afternoon, hundreds of people have to come to greet the foreign wife."

"How to speak , how to deal with it, how to get close to all these, you have to think carefully about it. The things are so complicated that I don’t know how I got here this afternoon."

"The princess has worked so hard, and this cup of tea is still yours. Come and drink." Zhu Jinghong handed the tea back.

However, at this moment, Yinger brought another cup of tea, and they no longer had to be humble.

"Ting girl will enter the palace the day after tomorrow. You have to make proper arrangements for this matter. I have already agreed with her to let her enter the palace and live peacefully," Zhu Jinghong said casually.

Sighing, Baochai looked out the door of the room and said, "I hope so."

"Where will sister Ting live?"

"You can make the arrangements." "

"Why don't you let sister Ting live in Yihe Garden?" Baochai asked tentatively.

"Yiheyuan is a good place, let's just settle it," Zhu Jinghong put down the teacup and said, taking advantage of the situation to lie down on the couch.

"Get up first and take a look at this." Baochai took out a booklet from behind him.

"What is this?" Zhu Jinghong asked doubtfully.

"There are more than 300 clans and noble families in the capital, and there are more than 20 weddings and funerals in ten days. This is the etiquette I have listed."

See When it came to the detailed arrangements above, Zhu Jinghong only turned two or three pages before feeling overwhelmed, and finally returned the booklet directly to Baochai.

"You can just arrange these, I'm already upset enough."

Putting the book away, Baochai said angrily, "What are you upset about?"

" Third sister has been pestering me and asking me to take her to the palace, and my head is getting big because of this," Zhu Jinghong said helplessly.

"This matter is not easy, just stop getting in front of her"

"Oh, then she has to say that I am avoiding her"

Baochai rolled her eyes at Zhu Jinghong, and asked with a smile, "Really? Who knows whether you are afraid of Sheng'er being blamed, or whether you are reluctant to leave someone around her?"

When "Baochai" said this, Zhu Jinghong grabbed It caught Baochai's wrist.

After moving but unable to break free, Baochai said confidently, "How about it?"

Zhu Jinghong pulled him into his arms and said with a wicked smile, "Even you are making fun of me, don't you think I don't care?" I'll take care of you"

In the eleventh year of Zhengtong, it is the twenty-fifth day of the twelfth lunar month.

The sky was filled with flying snow, and outside the Yongding Gate, the main gate of the capital, it was as lively and noisy as usual.

A shed outside the moatInside, the two brothers Jia She and Jia Zheng were sitting together, their eyes glancing towards the official road outside from time to time.

Compared with the city gate, this place is obviously much cleaner, so it has become a place where literati and poets are welcomed and sent off. Naturally, this place also charges a fee.

Ten taels of silver for a shed is nothing to the Jia family. It is really not easy for the Jia She brothers to go out.

"It's about time," Jia She couldn't help but say.

Just listen to Jia Zheng say, "We should have arrived."

Hearing this, Jia She looked outside the shed and saw that a carriage had stopped, and the Jia family's servants Already stepped forward to greet him.

The next moment, the curtain of the carriage was opened, and an elegant man appeared inside. It was Lin Ruhai, the salt censor of Jinling.

At this time, Brother Jia She had already stood up to greet him, and Lin Ruhai walked up to him when he got off the car.

"The two elders welcomed me in person, which really frightens my younger brother," Lin Ruhai said seriously, cupping his hands.

Looking at their thin and haggard brother-in-law, both Jia She brothers were surprised. Lin Ruhai was several years younger than them.

"My dear brother, you have worked hard all the way," Jia She stepped forward and said, and at the same time invited Lin Ruhai into the shed to talk.

"According to your wishes, you didn't make a show, and the children in the family didn't let me. Please don't blame me."

Lin Ruhai replied, "That's right. The current situation in the court is unpredictable. "It's good to be low-key."

"I traveled thousands of miles to Beijing. My dear brother, I will stay longer when I come back," Jia Zheng said.

"Yeah, we haven't talked together for a long time"

"I'm going to be annoying, but I hope the two brothers won't dislike it," Lin Ruhai said half-jokingly.

Soon everyone entered the shed together, and then a slave served hot tea. Drinking it not only warms the body but also relieves fatigue in the winter.

"This time the wise brother returns to the capital, should he stay in the ministry or the academy?" Jia She asked the question that concerned him most.

With Lin Ruhai's current official rank, those who stay in the ministry are either ministers or deputy censors of the capital. This has reached the ceiling of civil servants, and there are only six ministers, nine ministers and cabinet bachelors left.

If this is true, combined with the current trend of the court, the strength of the Jia family will once again surge.

"Alas, when I return to Beijing this time, I will resign to the Holy Spirit. I don't want to be an official anymore."

Lin Ruhai's words shocked both Jia She and others, but One look at his body and the two of them expressed understanding.

"The Holy Lord has great trust, and the Queen has taken Yu'er by her side to educate her. If my brother Longen intends to resign, I am afraid he will let down the Holy Lord and the Queen," Jia She solemnly reminded.

The reason why he said this was that he actually hoped that his brother-in-law would continue to be an official, at least until the prince succeeded to the throne and then return to his care.

"Alas, I don't want to repay the grace of the Holy One. It's because I am physically weak and lack energy. If I rely on my position, I will miss important things."

Listening to what Lin Ruhai said, the two brothers Jia She I tried to persuade him a few more times, but in the end I still couldn't persuade him.

After resting for a while, Lin Ruhai suggested movingEntering the palace for an audience is also a necessary behavior for officials returning to Beijing to report on their duties.

The emperor may not have time to see you, but you have to see the emperor.

Lin Ruhai wanted to enter the palace, but Jia She and the others couldn't persuade him, so they sent him all the way to the capital, and finally arrived outside Dong'an Gate.

"My dear brother, I will come back early. The banquet has been prepared at my house and is waiting for you to have the banquet."

"Definitely"

Obviously I am reporting on my work in Beijing These days, Lin Ruhai has to rely on the Jia family, which is reasonable.

It is said that he put on his official robe, showed his official letter of confession and entered the imperial city. He went all the way to the gate of Qianqing Palace and handed the memorial to the eunuch on duty.

Normally, there would be a reply within half an hour. Lin Ruhai could leave if he was not summoned.

However, only ten minutes later, a young eunuch came out to send a message, and the emperor asked him to wait in the side hall.

This result did not surprise Lin Ruhai, because every time he returned to Beijing and entered the palace, the emperor chose to see him. Please remember to collect it. The website is the latest and fastest without anti-theft. To find books and add books for free, you can join the qq group 952868558
