The Red Mansion Is Like a Jade Gentleman

Chapter 299 The Zhen Family Picks Up Again

Winter went to spring, and I don't know if it was the reason for the victory last year. In short, Emperor Xuande is going to prepare for the southern tour again!The time is set for February.

Regarding the Southern Tour, officials from various departments in Jiangnan have a lot of experience.Who made Emperor Xuande's southern tours more frequent in recent years? If he has done a lot of this business, he will naturally be familiar with it!Practice makes perfect!

Therefore, although it was a bit beyond everyone's expectations, everyone is still preparing in an orderly manner!

Waiting for Lin Hai to discuss with the officials about picking up the driver, and when he returned home, he happened to see Kong Jiayi teaching Lin Lingyu about the housekeeper. Lin Lingyu's fiancé was the eldest son of Ning Guohou. Hou's signature is also to be mixed in the upper class, so Lin Lingyu's education is particularly important.

I can't marry my girl, she can't do anything!Although Mrs. Ning Guohou is still here, and it is not Lin Lingyu's turn to be the housekeeper, but 'won't' and 'can't' are two different things.One day this Lin Lingyu will be the head wife of Ningguohou's mansion, she cannot be without housekeeping and communication skills.

Seeing that Lin Hai came back, Lin Lingyu hurriedly knelt down to salute, and after a few words with Lin Hai, she retreated!She has a lot of things to do now, while learning various skills such as butler communication, and embroidering her own wedding dress.

"You left the office early today, and everything is settled?" Kong Jiayi asked with a smile while helping Lin Hai change his clothes.She and Lin Hai don't get together and talk every day. When things are busy ahead, sometimes they don't see anyone for seven or eight days.

Lin Hai changed into his homely clothes, leaned on the couch, nodded with a smile and said, "That's all for the front, as long as there are no major problems, we can go on as usual!"

Lin Hai paused for a moment and then said: "There is a letter from Beijing, the emperor is going to tour the south again. He will definitely summon me when he arrives in Yangzhou, and the accompanying concubines have also come out. There is the one from the Zhen family. You have to make preparations." .”

Kong Jiayi looked at Lin Hai with a smile and said, "I know!" His heart felt warm.At least no matter what, she is the only woman in Lin Hai's heart, and this alone is enough for Kong Jiayi's love for Lin Hai!

The matter of the Lin family and the Zhen family.Don't look at Kong Jiayi as a woman, but she still knows what she should know.

In fact, there is no conflict of interest between the Lin family and the Zhen family.But if Lin Hai is loyal, he can't watch Zhen Yingjia treat Jiangnan as his back garden, and from the perspective of Emperor Xuande's layout of the entire Jiangnan, he doesn't want Zhen Yingjia to control the north and south of Jiangnan.

Otherwise, why are the biggest officials in Jiangnan.None of them are one-of-a-kind.

For example, Lin Hai and Hangzhou Weaving Liu Cheng were born through the imperial examination.And the backgrounds behind them are extraordinary, so if you want to move them, you have to consider the power behind them; although Chief Minister Song and Inspector Jiang, like Lin Hai, were born in the imperial examination, they are the children of poor families, the biggest officials in the family, It is themselves, although this kind of person is the least powerful, but they can achieve this position.The prudent and cautious style is unmatched by many people; there are also Mr. Zhen's family and Mr. Yuan who weaved in Suzhou. They did not pass the imperial examination, but became officials directly by the emperor's favor. upset.

From these arrangements, Emperor Xuande's layout of the Jiangnan officialdom was still very successful. On the surface, the Zhen family was the only one, but there were many forces that he could not move underneath, which made him afraid.

So this formed a game, which created hatred.

Concubine Zhen De couldn't trouble Lin Hai, but she could trouble Kong Jiayi! That's why Lin Hai asked Kong Jiayi to prepare early.

Suddenly Kong Jiayi didn't know what came to mind and said with a smile: "When the emperor arrives in Jinling on his southern tour this time, the Zhen family will pick him up again, right?"

As expected, Lin Hai nodded, took Kong Jiayi's hand and said, "Ma'am, you are really a female middle school Zhuge, with perfect calculations. You can see all these things clearly, and I admire your husband! This time, the emperor of Jinling still let the Zhen family pick you up." rack."

Kong Jiayi smiled even more happily, and gave Lin Hai a reproachful look, "Are you kidding me? I can't believe you didn't see it."

Since Emperor Xuande was no longer interested in Concubine Zhen De, why did he let Concubine Zhen De accompany him on the southern tour!Seeing such an old woman who can't control herself dangling in front of him, doesn't Emperor Xuande feel upset?

The only explanation for this kind of thing is that Emperor Xuande wanted to plot against the Zhen family again, so he took Concubine Zhende out.No, the saying of letting the Zhen family take over is justified.

On the surface, he gave the Zhen family a great favor, but in fact, he was in the pit of the Zhen family!

Not to mention the Zhen family, but the Lin family, if Emperor Xuande came to play like this twice, he would be screwed.Taking over is easy to say but difficult to do. The royal family pays attention to ostentation in everything, and the money in the purse is flowing out. There is not much background!

If Xue's family hadn't purchased most of the things for Zhen's family during the previous few pick-ups by Zhen's family, the emperor would have used up all of Zhen's family property long ago!Up to now, the Zhen family only has something on the surface, but the inside is long gone!

Lin Hai patted Kong Jiayi's hand, "You just need to be careful, it's about this year, and he and I are going to tear each other apart!"

Kong Jiayi was startled, and quickly asked, "So fast?"

Lin Hai sighed, "There is a letter from the capital, saying that the emperor's health is very bad. I guess if the emperor has been working so hard, this day..." There will not be many!

"God..." Kong Jiayi covered her mouth. Of course she knew what Lin Hai meant. Since Lin Hai said so, there must be no fake. It seems that the part where Emperor Xuande was stabbed last year was very unusual.

In fact, how did Lin Hai know about Emperor Xuande's physical condition? This kind of thing is a national SSS-level secret.But Lin Hai has a golden finger if he can't stand it!The original book is the biggest cheat, combined with a few words from Li Yuyi, Lin Hai quickly came to a conclusion.

It is Emperor Xuande who is forcing the Zhen family and various officials in the south of the Yangtze River.

Since the Zhen family is no longer in the heart of Emperor Xuande, and the prince of Concubine Zhende is still young, and he is not the candidate for the new emperor in Emperor Xuande's mind, then Emperor Xuande will not be polite to the Zhen family!

Emperor Xuande was forcing the Zhen family to jump over the wall in a hurry, so that the new emperor would have someone to stand up to after succeeding to the throne.Of course, if the Zhen family was very docile and didn't jump over the wall in a hurry, Emperor Xuande would let the Zhen family go for the sake of the old lady of the Zhen family and the ten princes.

It's a pity that Zhen Yingjia is a person, it shouldn't be said that most people are reluctant to part with the monstrous wealth and prosperity when they are in the position of the Zhen family.

In fact, Emperor Xuande was not only targeting the Zhen family, but two other families were also targeted by Emperor Xuande. One was Concubine Mei’s natal family. The first son is superior, so when there are three sons, he does not plan to have other sons. Therefore, facing the powerful power and the Mei family with one prince, Emperor Xuande is only much more wary of them than the Zhen family.

The other family is the Xiao family, which is the natal family of Emperor Xuande Yuan.Because there is a prince, the Xiao family has been particularly active in the court in recent years, and Emperor Xuande also found out that the Xiao family had the idea of ​​killing him and helping the prince to the throne.

As far as this prince is concerned, he is actually not very capable.

Master Zhou, the prince's Taifu who was the first rank of the dynasty, was the prince's teacher and taught him enlightenment.His Excellency Zhou was an important minister during the first emperor's time, a veteran of the two dynasties, and held the dual titles of number one scholar and chief assistant. Before Emperor Xuande came to power, he had been the chief assistant of the cabinet.Not to mention that his disciples are all over the government and the public, but they should not be underestimated. Both his literary talent and Qingming have won the respect of many scholars and officials.

The Zhou family's way of being an official is somewhat similar to the Lin family's. They only follow the emperor and do not participate in the coup d'état.

Although there is a saying, it is called the rebellion of scholars, and there will be no chaos for three years.However, the existence of scholars cannot be ignored. Only relying on generals, the world cannot last long.The existence of censor officials and power ministers and pure ministers must have his inevitability.Only by playing a game of several parties can the superiors watch happily and sleep comfortably. If all the officials hug each other, Emperor Xuande will definitely have ten times more headaches than he does now.

Mr. Zhou is a veteran of the two dynasties, he knows the way of being an official, and his attitude towards His Highness the Crown Prince has always been very good, but even so, he still has a little disdain for the Crown Prince's disposition in his heart.It sounds nice to be gentle and kind, but it sounds bad to be indecisive and soft-hearted.

Emperor Xuande was a good emperor, and similarly, he also had the overbearing and toughness that a king should have.Master Zhou is not very sure about Emperor Xuande's views on the crown prince, but he reckons that Emperor Xuande probably dislikes the crown prince's weakness, so when he replied to Emperor Xuande, he inevitably had some personal feelings in it.

Unfortunately, this was heard by others!No one would doubt that Mr. Zhou did it on purpose, so although he bears the title of prince, he is not the heir of the new emperor in Emperor Xuande's mind.

Therefore, as the natal family of the Empress Yuan and the prince's grandfather's family, the Xiao family was determined to put the prince on the throne of the emperor. Adding those words, Emperor Xuande was actually the most wary of the Xiao family.

It's just that the Mei family and the Xiao family are powerful, and they are not as easy to deal with as the Zhen family, so it appears that the Zhen family is extremely unlucky.

In fact, Emperor Xuande also quietly attacked the influence of the Mei family and the Xiao family. No emperor would like to see foreign relatives monopolizing power, especially Emperor Xuande had also experienced the rebellion of Prince Zhongyi. A deep-rooted distaste for...
