On the last day of September, Zhu Jinghong officially set off and embarked on the road back to Beijing.
All affairs of the Governor's Office were handed over to Liu Fang, and Sun Shaozu had also led the Jurchen tribes and headed east toward Zhasak.
On the ninth day of October, the news that Hami was captured in just two days returned to the capital, which made Zhu Jinghong's reputation even more prominent, and the popularity of his discussion directly overshadowed the Shengshou Festival.
As the Emperor’s birthday approaches, envoys from various countries have arrived one after another, adding to the excitement in the city.
However, both the envoys from the foreign countries and the people in the capital were talking about the war situation in the northwest, and the protagonist Zhu Jinghong was inseparable from the topic.
In the northwest consecutive battles and victories, even with the support of the Rakshasa Kingdom, the Junggar army was defeated. This is the same fact as Shuangwen, and it must be said that it is very topical.
At the same time, Zhu Jinghong’s previous boast of conquering Hami as soon as possible so that he could return to Beijing in person to congratulate the Supreme Emperor on his birthday quickly spread throughout the capital.
There are even rumors in Beijing that the current King Xiang is more heroic than the King of Qin a thousand years ago.
Of course this was for the purpose of flattery, but it was not instigated by the Crown Prince and Prince Rui, but by the people below them.
There is no way, Zhu Jinghong's threat is too great, forcing these people to be unable to hold back, and they must try their best to throw dirty water on him.
So, whether the prince or King Rui, they are all representatives of the interests of their respective subordinates, rather than the real masters of these people.
In this world, only interests are the real masters and can guide people to do what they should do.
"Prince Xiang, Prince Xiang is all talking about Prince Xiang, I am your majesty's best son, the wise king of Ming Dynasty"
In the study room of Prince Rui's Mansion, Zhu Jingyuan issued The furious sound scared the eunuchs inside and outside the room to tremble.
Although they were all confidants, after hearing such taboo words, these eunuchs were worried that they would be silenced by Zhu Jingyuan.
At the door of the study, Princess Rui hurried over with an unpleasant look on her face.
"You all go down"
"Yes"
After these people left, Chen Zhi walked into the study and met Zhu Jingyuan's eyes. .
At this time, Zhu Jingyuan still had a look of resentment in his eyes, but his mood had calmed down.
Picking up the books on the ground, Chen Zhi put them back one by one and said at the same time, "Old Thirteen is majestic and you can't change it even if you are angry. The immediate plan is to find a way to get him down."
After putting the book back, Chen Zhi sat on the chair next to him and continued, "The prince must be aware of the new rumors in the city recently. Can I take advantage of this?"
"The old man was already dissatisfied with me about the affairs outside the Qing Dynasty. I'm afraid it's known that the rumors about the thirteenth daughter-in-law were caused by us."
Chen Zhi shook her head slightly and said, "I don't think so. Maybe the old man thought it was the prince’s instruction.”
Then she added, "But it's not important anymore. Anyway, in the eyes of the old man, neither of you brothers are good people."
After about a few breaths, Chen Zhi continued, "According to me. In my opinion, now we should put aside the feud with Donggong, and it is best to join forces with Donggong and go all out to suppress Lao Shisan."
Zhu Jinghong is the number one enemy. Zhu Jingyuan agrees with this, but he must follow For him, the fourth child joining forces was undoubtedly a fantasy.
Of course, as a political figure, Zhu Jingyuan can control his personal emotions very well, so he does not reject the alliance out of likes and dislikes.
But in his opinion, the United East Palace is not very operable, and a bad move can easily have counter-effects.
But even if the alliance is successful, Zhu Jingyuan still has another layer of concerns, which may cause his people to alienate him.
Everyone follows him just to have a good time. If Zhu Jingyuan joins forces with the prince, why should the people below follow him?
"This matter is not as simple as you said. How can I and Lao Si, who are incompatible with each other, join forces?"
At this time, Chen Zhi said, "The so-called joining forces do not mean reconciliation, but reconciliation." It’s about the matter of killing Lao Shisan, so long as we both have a tacit understanding."
In other words, we are only uniting to deal with Zhu Jinghong, and we should continue to fight in other aspects.
"How to implement"
"If you want the fourth child to deal with the thirteenth child, I'm afraid it will be useless in the next life." Chen Zhi sneered.
"Xu Xinan, Bachelor of the East Palace, is a considerate person. Just send someone to talk to him."
Nodding, Zhu Jingyuan said, "This person is pragmatic and decisive. It's a pity that talents who can do great things cannot be used by me."
After expressing his regret, Zhu Jingyuan said, "Look for someone of his same year or fellow countryman"
Someone who works for his subordinates There are so many, it is easy to find someone who has a relationship with Xu Xin'an.
"Do you think the old man will value Old Thirteen because of this?"
While the couple was silent, Zhu Jingyuan asked a question. This was what he was most worried about.
"In the old affairs of Li and Tang Dynasty, the chariot mirror was in front of me, but the emperor was not aware of it," Chen Zhi replied.
Sighing, Zhu Jingyuan replied, "I hope so."
"Before, you said that there were only about 500 people in the palace including the guards. Old Thirteen went to the northwest. I have killed almost half of the people I have killed with my own hands."
"Every time I think about it, it makes me feel scared."
Chen Zhi fell silent. This is indeed a very serious incident. The heavy truth was that the more Zhu Jinghong's reputation grew, the more frightened she became.
After all, Zhu Jinghong knew everything about the things they did in private, and he could only forgive them if he was a saint.
"Go ahead and arrange things for me. I'll go to the East Palace too."
"I went there yesterday, but I'm going there again today." Zhu Jingyuan looked confused.
Chen Zhi smiled and said, "Tomorrow is the final selection of the princess. I have to go see the princess and tell her about Princess Xiang."How highly regarded by the mother."
When he said this, the couple laughed, making the atmosphere in the study much more relaxed.
While he and his wife were secretly operating At that time, Baochai was also busy in Prince Xiang's Mansion.
She was not busy with other things, but checking the income of various farms and shops. She has to go through all the purchasing matters personally.
The person serving beside her is Lin Hongyu, who has now become Baochai's confidant.
"Princess, that matter. There is no more to follow."
"Which matter?" Baochai didn't even raise his eyebrows.
"Ni Er has done everything possible to report the Yang family and Prince Rui's house. Prepare, originally planned to expose it yesterday, and the complaint was handed over to the county government."
"Unexpectedly, villains came in yesterday, beat them up, destroyed the evidence, and took the captured The thief was let go."
After saying this, Lin Hongyu looked at Baochai again, only to find that the latter was still engrossed in reading the account books, as if he had not heard what she said.
"Princess"
"This matter is rotten in my stomach, don't mention it again in the future" Baochai said calmly
Although I don't understand why, since the princess. After they all spoke, Lin Hongyu could only keep silent.
"That Ni Er really has nothing to do with this matter," Baochai asked suddenly.
According to Deng An. According to the report, Ni Er was indeed careful in his work and found people who were beyond his reach. He was indeed not involved in this matter.
But Baochai still asked Lin Hongyu, just to make a final decision. , decide whether to keep this person or get rid of him.
Of course Lin Hongyu will not understand that every word he says next is related to Ni Er's life and death.
"Report. Princess, Ni Er made an appointment with a friend and told him where he was in the yard."
Lin Hongyu explained the situation in detail. In summary, Ni Er set up a bureau to expose the Yang family. The matter became a "coincidence", so there was no possibility of him being involved.
After hearing this, Baochai said nothing more and only said, "Since Ni Er is so loyal, Let him find a job with Zhang Pingan"
"Yes"
The tenth day of October is another new day.
It has been nearly a year of cultivation. He is about to be reinstated, and Lin Ruhai will soon be appointed as the censor of Qiandu.
The censor of Qiandu is a fourth-rank official, and Lin Ruhai finally has the right rank.
Of course. It's a great thing, so colleagues from Beijing and China came to congratulate her. The Lin family has been very lively in recent days.
But as a lady of the Lin family, Daiyu has never been happy because someone has proposed marriage to the Lin family in the past two days.
Although they were rejected by her father, Daiyu also felt sad because it was time for her to get married.
Although she already had her heart set on her, marriage was not a good one. Following her parents' orders, she could only bury her thoughts deeply.Individuals suffer alone.
"Girl, someone from the Jia family in Rongguo Mansion is here, the second girl, the third girl and the fourth girl are also here."
Zicuckoo's report pulled Daiyu out of her sorrow, but She was still uninterested.
"I don't want to see you, girl," Zicuckoo asked.
She knows what Daiyu is thinking, and she also understands how much she is suffering now, so she hopes that Daiyu will be happy for a while if she goes to see her sisters.
Seeing that Daiyu had no reaction, Zijuan explained, "I heard from people that the Thirteenth Master will be back in a few days. If he sees the girl like this"
Before Zijuan finished speaking, Daiyu shed huge tears, and she was so frightened that she could only swallow the rest of her words.
After some comfort, Daiyu finally stopped crying, and then Zijuan said cautiously, "Girl, you can see the Thirteenth Master when he comes back."
"The Thirteenth Master is a very capable man. If you have any difficulties, just tell him. I think he will be able to help you."
Zhu Jinghong is interested in Daiyu, and Zijuan can roughly guess that, so she Encourage Daiyu to speak.
Even a girl from the Xue family, who lost her father at a young age, can become an extremely noble princess. It can be seen that as long as the Thirteenth Master likes someone, he will definitely take her into the palace
By then , Zijuan thought, the girl will be able to achieve her wish.
When the master and the servant were having different thoughts, they suddenly heard the sound of orioles and swallows coming from outside. It was Yingchun Tanchun and his party who came over, followed by the maids and slaves who were waiting for them.
Now that the guests are here, Daiyu cannot be still lazy, so she can only welcome them out of the boudoir.
Before they even left the outer hall, Tanchun and the others were already in front of them.
"Sister Lin, we finally see you, what are you doing alone?" Tan Chun is very familiar with her.
While welcoming everyone into the house, and asking the maid to pour tea, Dai Yufang replied, "What else can I do, just sit around alone."
At this time, the youngest Xichun said, " We also said that Sister Lin is either reading or writing."
"I spend all day reading and writing with the princess in the palace. Now I have to take a rest when I get home."
Signing for everyone to sit down, Daiyu took the tea cup from the maid's hand, and then motioned for everyone to taste the tea first.
She had lived in Rongguo Mansion for two years before, and she had a very good relationship with Tanchun and the three of them, so they got along well with each other now.
After having tea, Tan Chunfang asked, "When will Sister Lin enter the palace?"
Daiyu replied, "I'm afraid it's just these few days, and the princess will be left alone." "It's weird."
"Isn't there still Sister Yun?" Yingchun finally interrupted.
Tan Chun was slightly surprised and said, "Second sister didn't know that sister Yun had caught wind and cold a few days ago and was recovering from a serious illness."
Yingchun couldn't hear what was going on outside the window. , it’s not surprising that I don’t know this.
At this time, Xichun coughed unintentionally, immediately reminding Tanchun that there was still business to do.
“Sister Lin, you were at Prince Xiang’s Mansion a few days ago, the princess is fine now."
"Everything else is fine, only one thing is not good." Daiyu's eyes flashed slightly, recalling those things in Prince Xiang's Mansion.
"What kind of "Not good," Tan Chun asked curiously.
"Being a princess is too tiring," Daiyu said bluntly.
Tan Chun suddenly showed a clear look and continued, "Shang Shang Xia Down, inside and outside, taking care of so many people and things, it would be strange not to be tired."
Tanchun then said, "Unfortunately, we sisters now have no face to go to the palace to meet the princess. "
When Tanchun said this, Daiyu certainly knew the reason, so she explained, "Why do you have to say that you are you and he is him? How could Sister Bao be angry with you?"
< p>"That's true, but how can we be embarrassed to come to the door to find someone else?" Tanchun smiled awkwardly.Just as she was thinking about what to say next, Yingchun opened her mouth to solve the problem. Question.
"Sister Lin, I heard that the Thirteenth Master is going back to Beijing, and now my ancestors are worried about this matter."
It can be said that Yingchun's words are meaningless. Technical content, but he also raised questions straight to the point.
After all, she was her grandmother. Dai Yufang asked worriedly, "Why is the ancestor worried?"
"It's not because of Baoyu, she is worried." After the Thirteenth Master returns to Beijing, he will find trouble with Baoyu and even beat him to death."
Jia Zhen of Ningguo Mansion, the former patriarch of the Jia family, lost her life because of Zhu Jinghong. It's normal for Jia Mu to be worried about this.
"Baoyu, isn't he already?"
Daiyu only said half of the words, because she knew how painful her ancestors were. This grandson.
Perhaps Jia Mu also hated Baoyu for causing great trouble before, but now that her beloved grandson has been driven out of the house, the old man will inevitably fall in love with him again as time goes by. .
Then Daiyu said, "This matter has passed, ancestors don't have to worry."
Tan Chun said worriedly, "Sister Lin, His Highness Prince Xiang has a clear distinction between love and hate. If he is informed, If Baoyu does something stupid, I'm afraid he will be killed with his own hands."
Whenever Zhu Jinghong's battle reports of killing enemies were transmitted back to the capital, not only the Prince Rui's Mansion was frightened, but also everyone in the Rongguo Mansion.
Even if there is a princess in the family, they will not feel much security.
Suppressing the complicated emotions in his heart, Tanchun continued, "Since Sister Lin is familiar with the princess, our ancestors will. I thought about asking you to come forward to mediate in order to save Baoyu's life."
The only person who can persuade Zhu Jinghong is Baochai in the Rongguo Mansion, and Daiyu has an irreversible relationship with Baochai, so she After seeing what happened today, Dai Yufang was stunned for a moment and replied, "I'm afraid I can't help with this matter." If Sister Lin is unwilling to help, Brother Baoyu will have no choice but to die."
Jia Baoyu has been expelled from the Rongguo Mansion, and now only the young Xichun still calls him brother.
Daiyu is not a hard-hearted person. Thinking of the many times he was cared for by Baoyu in the past, she can't help but worry about him now.
Although this guy was stupid and brought such bad consequences upon himself, Daiyu still felt a little compassion.
At this time, Tanchun answered, "Sister Lin, Baoyu accepts the beating and punishment. I just want to spare his life, so our ancestors have nothing to ask for."
Xichun came directly When he arrived in front of Daiyu, he tugged at the corner of her clothes and cried, "Sister Lin, please save brother Baoyu."
I have to say that Jia Baoyu was very good to the sisters, and now it's time to accept the reward. At that time, Tanchun and the other three were trying their best to help him.
Daiyu sighed several times thinking about how Baoyu had taken care of her when she first arrived at Rongguo Mansion.
Although the two are now strangers, after Daiyu thought about it repeatedly, she decided to return the favor.
Sighing again, Daiyu said, "I'll try my best to help."
Hearing this, Tanchun immediately stood up and came to Daiyu, and said in a low voice, "Sister Lin, I thank you on behalf of Baoyu."
"Sisters, why are you like this?" Daiyu quickly stood up and helped her. 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
