Xian Sun of the Ning Mansion of the Red Chamber

Chapter 299
is the day.

Lin Ruhai, who said he had been sick for more than a month, unexpectedly appeared outside Zuo Shunmen waiting for shift today with Jia Ying's support, which caused quite a stir among the officials.

Even, many people have forgotten that the "culprit" who caused huge shocks in the Jiangnan officialdom twice was Lin Hai, the deputy imperial envoy after the third prince.

If it is said that Lin Hai always looks weak in clothes and clothes, his thin figure makes people worry that a gust of wind will blow him down on the flat ground.

It is such a person, but few people in the court dare to despise him.

First, because of the salt policy, the entire Jiangnan officialdom had to work together to target one person. Since the establishment of the Dagan dynasty, there have been four generations of kings, and countless officials have been born through the imperial examination. How many people can get such treatment.

The second shot was also Jiangnan, with Fu Donglai, one inside and one outside, and the two teamed up, which directly led to the downfall of the chief assistant Li Endi.

Under that thin body, there is a huge amount of energy, which can easily tear a person into pieces.It can be said that every time Lin Ruhai leaves Beijing, it means that something big will happen in the court.

There were even rumors among the courtiers that Lin Hai was the second Duke Hengshi.It's a pity that the former Hengshi Gong is now dying, otherwise the two stones will come out together, and I'm afraid it will cut off the livelihood of many people.

What happened this time made Lin Ruhai, who is upright and upright, be sick for several months, which is evident.

In front of the train, the first assistant Yang Tingjing seemed old and transparent, saying that power can support people, but Fu Donglai, who was promoted to the second assistant, only looked a lot older after just over a year.At this time, Fu Donglai heard the movement behind him, and turned his head slightly, and cast his gaze on Lin Ruhai and Jia Ying, Lin Ruhai's gaze also went up, Qingfeng smiled, everything was silent.

He is not alone.

When he arrived at his Banliehou, Lin Ruhai patted Jia Ying's hand lightly, signaling him to return to his place and wait quietly for the opening of the dynasty.

morning meeting.

"My lord, Lin Hai, the left deputy capital of the Procuratorate, has his copy."

"allow."

"Thank you, Your Majesty. I ordered a thorough investigation into the case of the Nanyuan Assassin. After several months, there is no result until now."

"After careful investigation by the ministers, half of the assassins that day were from the brave frontier army."

In the water-sinking hall, waves gradually began to appear. Although some well-informed officials had already heard some rumors, they still did not expect that Lin Ruhai would directly point at the army with such a bachelor, and it was a frontier army.As for those who have not received the news, this time they will simply eat melons, and this melons are prone to diarrhea.

"Raising private soldiers, smuggling armaments and firearms, making private contacts with foreign feudal vassals."

". All the details are listed in the memorial, please read it, Your Majesty."

"Your Majesty, I have clearly ordered a thorough investigation."

Inside the hall, it became silent again.

Some honorable officials who hold important positions in the capitals of the five armies of the Ministry of War have already become charcoal.

However, what made them even more terrified was still behind.

Just as Lin Ruhai finished speaking, Jia Ying, who was behind the train, had already stood up.

"My lord, Jia Ying has a book."

"Your Majesty Qizuo, Lin Qing, the bandit leader of the Sanyang Sect, Baiyang Daozi, has been arrested. After interrogation, he confessed to planning the assassination in Nanyuan. It was this person who held Niangniang Luanjia hostage that day."

Even the cult rebels were involved and colluded with the rebels. Now, the frontier army can't get away with it.

What surprised people even more was that Jia Ying would actually target Xungui's own family.

Both Lin Ruhai's and Jia Ying's memoirs are only aimed at the assassination case of Nanyuan, but everyone knows that once the frontier army is involved, it is definitely aimed at the nobles. After all, before that, they were the ones Has been holding the nine sides.

Misfortune caused Xiao Qiang, and he was in chaos.

Does Xungui know that there is a white-eyed wolf and rebellious boy in his family?

That's exactly the truth. The moment he spoke, Jia Ying already felt that someone in the class cast a hostile look at him. There are only a few nobles who came to the court meeting today. You don't need to look to know who it is .

At this time, Ye Baichuan, a cabinet scholar, stepped forward again.

"Your Majesty, the Nine Frontiers is a matter of the country's safety. The corruption in the army should not be underestimated. Please make clear your Majesty's order to thoroughly investigate this matter."

Baiguan was not surprised by Ye Baichuan's stated support. Everyone knew that this bachelor had been staring at the army for a long time. Rectification, wanted to abolish redundant troops, but was opposed by the courtiers.

Fu Donglai also looked at this colleague, reforming the military system. He remembered that he had already proposed it once when he was appointed as the official department. Unfortunately, the foundation of the New Deal was weak at that time. The strong obstacle is that he has raised objections many times since then, and until a few days ago, he still opposed it, and the people who were congenial and confidant in the past gradually became strangers.

Today, he no longer opposes it. After three years of the New Deal, the foundation has been laid, and it is time to act.

If you want to carry out the reform of the military system, how can it be achieved without cutting off the stumbling block of the nobles?

The two foundations of Daqian, one is politics and the other is the army. He has to grasp both hands, otherwise the New Deal will be like a castle in the air, which is why the emperor chose him at the beginning.Ye Baichuan was a capable official, but he was still lacking in the overall situation. This was also the reason why he was recommended by him at the beginning, not him.

Ye Baichuan on the side, seeing that Fu Donglai did not come forward to object, he was relieved at the same time. His road to joining the cabinet was a bit bumpy, and he succeeded twice. This is still favored by the emperor, but until now, some people say He is lucky.

Although under his strong support, Daqian expanded the territory of Liaodong for hundreds of miles, but after all, it is not as good as Fu Donglai moved to two assistant ministers one after another, sweeping away the source of corruption left by the Xuanlong Dynasty, and it is more profound for Baiguan .

Of the four ministers in the cabinet, the last one is Gu Chunting, who has low qualifications, so naturally he can't compete with the first three, but he is ranked third.

Ye Baichuan was convinced of Fu Donglai's ability and qualifications, but Yang Tingjing, the last piece of residue left by the Xuanlong Dynasty, what else would he do besides dozing off at the court and flattering the emperor?Since it is a New Deal, everyone should come first, and what to do with such people.

To put it bluntly, he wants to do something. If he can go further with his achievements, who would refuse?

Feng Hengshi, who was about to retire, was in the train, looking at the two former friends, he sighed in his heart.

In the officialdom, where are there forever friends, how could he not see what happened today, Ye Baichuan never discussed with Fu Donglai, and passed the heyday of the second assistant, what a fool would understand.

No wonder, Fu Donglai suppressed Ye Baichuan too ruthlessly. At the beginning, Fu Donglai recommended Ye Baichuan to join the cabinet. It seemed to be a favor, but Ye Baichuan was influenced by him for the first time, so Fu Donglai couldn't compete with Yang Tingjing This living clay sculpture, born Ye Baichuan, is also a successful person who wants to do something.
The gathering of many odd students meant that the two were destined to be unable to form their former alliance.

Others don't know, but Feng Hengshi knows that many generals from the south are already on the side of Ye Baichuan. They are a new faction in the army, neither relying on the founding line nor the Xuanlong line.

At the court meeting, the emperor did not make an order on the spot.

After all, the Nine Frontiers and millions of troops were involved, so he had to be cautious. Although the emperor couldn't wait to know who wanted his life, he should be reserved, even if it was just for the nobles.

The thing was so strange, the emperor himself couldn't wait, and frequently sent the imperial doctor to urge Lin Ruhai, but when things came to an end, he wanted to set up a memorial archway again.

But after thinking about the emperor's position, he didn't feel strange.

Both Lin Ruhai and Jia Ying had expected this, so Fu Donglai didn't speak.

In the past, when major issues were involved in opposition between the court and China, it was Fu Donglai who advocated it, Ye Baichuan attached to it, the chief assistant Yang Tingjing would oppose Fu Donglai no matter whether he was right or wrong, and Gu Chunting was the one who obeyed orders.

The courtiers have even summed up the rules. As long as Fu Donglai advocates and Yang Tingjing opposes, it can basically be done. This time the two of them did not speak, so the matter will have to wait.

What are you waiting for, no one knows.

Not long after the court ended, Chen Xiang, the commander of the Embroidered Clothes Guards, hurried into the palace and presented Lin Qing's confession. News spread from the palace that the emperor was furious in the Huagai Palace and smashed many rare antiques and famous inkstones, but still did not issue an order. Thorough investigation.

On the way back to the Yamen from the scattered courts, Jia Ying obviously felt that there were fewer familiar figures around him, and they seemed to be avoiding him. The son-in-law is a little lonely.

Xining Palace.

Shi Ding, Chen Wenrui, Hou Xiaokang, and several principals from the Duke's Mansion gathered here.

"Master Hou, what do you say about this matter, we all listen to you."

"That's right, Lord Hou, we have already retreated back and forth on the Nine Sides. They want to kill them cleanly. What's more important is that the family has fed wolves that have never been raised well. We must not just let it go."

Everyone went up and down one after another, but Lan Tianyu sneered in her heart.

These people were afraid that they found him at the door of the North Prince's Mansion because they had suffered a lot, and wanted him to be the first bird.

"Everyone, the family of the Four Kings and Eight Dukes has always been headed by the Northern Prince's Mansion. The story of the elders and the young cannot be dismissed. You should go to the Northern King's Mansion again."

After Lan Tianyu finished speaking, Shi Ding said:

"Master Hou, the family of the four kings is always on the same level. At first, because the old Northern Prince was highly respected and everyone was convinced, the Northern Prince's Mansion was the head. If you talk about the story of the elders, the prince has forgotten that the Northern Prince's Mansion was not as good as the East's." The palace. The founding of our country is of the same spirit, and we will obey whoever is highly respected. Everything is for the inheritance left by our ancestors.

Today, Xiaobei Wang is young and ignorant, with soft ears, he must have heard Jia Ying's slanderous words, so he turned a blind eye to me.Now, among the Four Princes' Houses in Beijing, Lord Hou has the most seniority and the highest prestige, so we naturally look forward to you.Lord Hou, you can't just let the succession of my ancestors be buried in my hands like this. "

Lan Tianyu chuckled, looked at Shi Ding and said, "Brother Wenzhen, I'm just curious, how many secrets Liaodong has hidden, how much do you really know about the assassination of the holy driver?"

Shi Ding opened his mouth to argue, but he heard Lan Tianyu say: "To this day, even if you want to hide it, you can't hide it anymore. If you don't say it now, I'm afraid you won't have the chance to say it again."

Everyone also looked over. In the final analysis, the matter was caused by Liaodong, and Shi Ding took over as the guard of Liaodong for more than ten years. If he said that it had nothing to do with him, no ghost would believe it.

He must give everyone an explanation for this matter.

Seeing the intense gaze of the crowd, Shi Ding smiled wryly and said, "Master Hou, I admit that the officers and generals in Liaodong smuggled a few arms and firearms to North Korea and the barbarians outside the pass, but you also know that it was a cold day. What the hell are the birds doing without shit? What is the money given by the imperial court enough for? We want to raise soldiers, but can we do it without money?"

But I heard Chen Wenrui say: "North Korea is fine, it has always been a vassal to me, but brother Hu Renwenzhen outside the pass, you are confused."

Shi Ding sighed and said: "I don't know how dangerous this matter is, but the firearms that my generals smuggled are all for Jianzhou Hu. Not only that, I will also give it to several leaders of Jianzhou Hu Department every year. Looking at the salt, iron and silk, without these things, would those Hu tribes live in peace? Could Ye Baichuan and Yang Chi have taken hundreds of miles of land into their hands so easily?
But don't forget, I was the one who helped them connect in the first place.But now it's a good thing, the rabbit is dead, the dog is cooked, the bird is hidden, and he turns his face and refuses to recognize anyone.snort! "

"If things are as you said, we can join hands with His Majesty to explain the reason and bear the burden of humiliation, but we can exchange hundreds of miles of land for Daqian, and take over Jianzhou and Wanyan. No matter what you say More merit than demerit.”

Lan Tianyu squinted her eyes and opened her mouth slowly, but then changed her voice: "But what do those frontier assassins say? How can they argue for collusion with the rebels? Brother Wenzhen, you must know that assassination is the key."

When Shi Ding heard this, he hurriedly said: "Master Hou, there are not many military households who escaped in any border town, and among the nine borders, Liaodong is the most bitter and cold. Every year, the military households who escape privately cannot be caught. People are dissatisfied with the imperial court and colluded with the Sanyang Sect, how can this kind of thing be blamed on me, isn't it absurd."

"Master Hou, it's hard to tell. I'm a great Lord Hou. I have the guts to commit decapitation? What's more, what's in it for me?"

Lan Tianyu still had some disbelief, and said, "Flies don't bite seamless eggs. Lin Ruhai is the uncle of Jia's family anyway. If he said he framed you, I'm afraid it's hard to convince people. Besides, did you have any involvement in the assassination of Lin Ruhai?" for what?"

Shi Ding bowed his head and said nothing.

Chen Wenrui persuaded again: "Brother Wenzhen, what time is this, and you are still hiding it from everyone, don't you see that all three families of Ma Niu Liu will come this time?"

Shi Ding was helpless, and he also knew that if he wanted to tide over the difficulties this time, he could only rely on the nobles to form a group, so he simply stopped hiding.

"The assassination in Shanhaiguan has nothing to do with me. A few days ago, I sent someone to do the incident in the capital, but I just want to get back the ledger in Lin Ruhai's hands and find the Jianzhou garrison that he hid. I just want to protect myself." , didn’t intend to kill anyone.”

Indeed, his original idea was to exchange Daiyu with Lin Ruhai, but he failed.

"Everyone, if they only arrest me, I won't drag everyone down, but now, Ye Baichuan wants to mobilize the entire frontier army, and he must drive us all to death. I have heard that Xuanlong's lineage Because of the Liaodong incident, Ye Baichuan and Yang Chi have a very good personal relationship, this is not just my business."

After saying that, he looked at Lan Tianyu again and said, "Lan Hou, Ye Baichuan and Jia Ying captured the Western Army's camp back then."

Hearing this, Lan Tianyu's face gradually darkened.

How could he forget that the methods Ye Baichuan and Jia Ying used against him back then were even worse when Jia Ying helped outsiders deal with him.

But Lan Tianyu still kept a little calm, and said: "Everyone here, some of them have real power in the army. I'm afraid it's not enough for me to wait."

"The meaning of Lan Hou."

"In the Nine Frontiers, except for the second town of Shanxi and Liaodong, the commander-in-chief of Jizhou is His Majesty's confidant, and the other five towns are still in the hands of our honorable nobles. Forget about Xuan Da, who has never been involved in these things. " Lan Tianyu said slowly.

At this point, everyone knew who he was referring to. He had no military power, and the nobles were just pigs kept in cages by the royal family. They still wanted to discuss any conditions.

"I've written to Ziteng, but I haven't heard back yet."

Shi Ding also understood this, and looked at Lan Tianyu and asked, "Lan Hou, can I invite the Southern Palace?"

Lan Tianyu shook her head lightly when she heard the sound and said: "It's hard to say, the prince of Nan'an has been stationed in southern Xinjiang all the year round, and he rarely interferes with matters in Beijing, but I have already sent someone to write to him, so I will delay it now. Wait for Nanwang to reply. Wenzhen, you should write another letter to Ziteng to remind you. Those of the other families who did not come today will come to the door a few more times. At this moment, it is time for us to help each other. You can’t mess yourself up first.”

"By the way, there is also that Jia Ying, where is he from?"

On the Jia's side, just after Jia Ying returned to the mansion, someone from the Rong mansion came and said that Jia's mother had called, and Jia Yingfu went to the Rong mansion again.

　I have been too busy recently to keep up with the updates. The combination of work, exams, classes, and interviews is really too busy. Please bear with me. I am really sorry, especially those friends who have been supporting this book.

　　I can only say sorry, as long as I have time, I will try my best to update it, and it will be fine after this time.
