The Promotion of Yuanchun in the Red Chamber

The fourteenth prince is a rare visitor... It was even more unexpected for Yuan Chun to come to make amends: she originally wanted to swallow this breath silently.

But she also knew that even if she was a little naive and wanted to fool the past, Zhao Zhizhen might not be able to forget about it, according to the prince's usual temperament, he would definitely write it down secretly, and then seize the opportunity to be ruthless one at a time.

In terms of holding grudges, these sons of the Holy Majesty really deserve to be brothers.

After setting up Jianer, Yuan Chun changed his clothes, and asked his mother to wait for a while, then took the people out and went straight to the prince's study.When Yuanchun arrived, the fourteenth prince had already sat down for a while.As for Zhao Zhizhen's face, there was naturally no joy or anger, and nothing could be seen.

But with Zhao Zhizhen present, the screen was not ready.After meeting each other and taking their seats, the fourteenth prince was also very bachelor, stood up and bowed earnestly, "Little sister-in-law, please forgive me."

Yuan Chun hurriedly returned the salute, but didn't answer anything: How can I forgive you if I don't explain clearly why you did it?Then, she glanced at Zhao Zhizhen.

Coincidentally, the two people's eyes just met, Zhao Zhizhen shook his head first, meaning: I don't know yet.

Yuan Chun blinked, sat down and continued to remain silent: When it comes to loading mud tires, she is a well-deserved master.

The fourteenth prince looked at the expressions of these two, and felt that it was a very wise decision to come to apologize.

It is said that the fourteenth prince made this gesture knowing that the seventh brother loved the concubine Jia very much, but the real object of explanation was the seventh brother Zhao Zhizhen.

And Yuan Chun also seemed to be wandering away, so the fourteenth prince sat down with his seventh brother and told the whole story softly.

"I don't know who's rumors my concubine heard at the beginning... The expectation for many years has disappeared in a blink of an eye, and this is an unwise move." The fourteenth prince said in a low voice at this time, "That man and my sister-in-law have some troubles. Because of the relationship, my sister-in-law made friends with Shi Meiren again, I really wanted to go wrong at that time, thinking that the person dared to speak nonsense because of my sister-in-law's influence."

In fact, he originally thought that the backing of Beauty Shi was the imperial concubine, but looking at it these days, he probably guessed wrong.

The fourteenth prince's words are true and false, if he believed everything, he would be a fool.

From Zhao Zhizhen's point of view, it's true that the provocative female official has something to do with Yuan Chun, but it's also true that the fourteenth brother got angry for a while.

How difficult is it for me to have a caring person?A caring person is giving birth to a son for me, so you dare to intervene and "stab a knife", almost killing two people?Besides, how can a side concubine of a county king just buy off the female officials in the concubine's palace?On the other hand, it's not too bad that the concubine bought the woman who betrayed the master!

Thinking of this, Zhao Zhizhen sneered, "That's all." After a while, he threw out another four words, "I will not make an example."

The fourteenth prince also knew that this incident had offended Brother Seven, but he was willing to come personally to let Brother Seven vent his anger, so that the hatred between brothers would not grow deeper.

It's just that he still said the same thing: No matter how much Seventh Brother hates me, what can he do to me?Relying on the fact that he is still an unmarried little prince, everyone can only endure it if his methods are a little out of line!After all, the emperor didn't punish him - not to mention punishing him, he didn't even say a lesson.

After the fourteenth prince left, Zhao Zhizhen and Yuan Chun walked back to Yuan Chun's yard slowly and hand in hand - walking fast, Zhao Zhizhen was really afraid that Yuan Chun would fall to him.

Mrs. Wang, who had been sitting and waiting, got a surprise: she actually waited for her son-in-law and daughter back together.

To be honest, Zhao Zhizhen doesn't have a good impression of Jia Zheng and Mrs. Wang as a couple: Jia Zheng is honest and almost cowardly, while Mrs. Wang is greedy and short-sighted. Fortunately, Yuan Chun and her brother Yuan Chun are not like their father in terms of temperament or learning. mother.

But looking at Yuan Chun's face, Zhao Zhizhen was quite polite to Mrs. Wang.Seeing Mrs. Wang salute, he nodded, picked up Jian'er and went to the study to read.

In other words, the youngest son in his arms was very honest, he couldn't see clearly, but his big watery eyes kept staring at the book in his hand.Zhao Zhizhen thought about it again, one son was also teasing, and the two sons were also coaxing, so he called the eldest son Zhao Han over.

When Zhao Han entered the door, he saw his father shaking his younger brother, but his father was shaking a little slower, and the "little ancestor" began to moan, looking like he was about to cry.

Zhao Han laughed and said, "So my younger brother is so clingy to my father."

Zhao Zhizhen's subordinates kept shaking, "Are you envious? Put your brother down for a while, and your father will also shake you?"

Zhao Han was silent, and said after a while, "Father, what side concubine are you learning..."

"Really?" Zhao Zhizhen was not angry, "It's almost red."

That's true, father, you just need to understand... Zhao Han saw that his father was very funny teasing his younger brother, so he took the initiative to ask Ying, "Let your son try?"

As soon as Zhao Han took over his younger brother from his father, Jianer yawned, and obediently pressed against his elder brother's chest and closed his eyes.Seeing this, Zhao Han asked the wet nurse to take over his younger brother, but as soon as the wet nurse stretched out her hand, Jian Er let out a loud "wow"... The little ancestor was not happy.

Zhao Zhizhen said: "Hold him for a while first, and wait until he is fast asleep."

And the gossip between the father and son did not prevent the athlete from sleeping soundly. In the end, the little ancestor left a big ball of saliva on his brother's chest before letting the wet nurse carefully take him away.

Zhao Han had no choice but to go back and change his clothes before talking to his father.This time Zhao Zhizhen roughly told the eldest son what the fourteenth prince had done these days, and finally asked him, "If it were you, what would you do?"

"Uncle Fourteen is too impatient." Zhao Han enunciated clearly, "Several attacks are all conspiracy trails, and if things go on like this, they will definitely lose people's hearts."

Zhao Zhizhen looked at his son with soft eyes, and then smiled gratifiedly.

The son is only one year older than the fourteenth brother, but his vision is much stronger.

Who dares to say that he has no dark thoughts?But most people hope that their boss is an upright person.Therefore, as a high-ranking person, even if the personality is naturally gloomy, even if it is hard to pretend, you have to pretend to be open-minded and upright.

Seeing that his father was satisfied, Zhao Han took the initiative to "diverge" again, "Could it be that someone in Shi Meiren's family is going to be promoted?"

Zhao Zhizhen said with a smile: "Let's remove the word 'Could Fei'."

Zhao Zhizhen couldn't tell his son about the deeper things: the roster sent by the concubine Liu Wei to the Holy One probably contained more than one big fish.

Just looking at the fact that the Holy Majesty didn't get angry immediately, one knew that this matter was very involved.And... As the saying goes, when a carrot is pulled out, mud is brought out, important ministers fall, and family members and in-laws may also resign, be relegated, or retire. These vacated positions will definitely cause another wave.

Looking at the layout of the royal father in the palace this time, it can be said that the clouds and mountains are shrouded in mist, especially the adoptive mother seems to be kept in the dark.

Zhao Zhizhen planned to remind his concubine when he entered the palace to visit his concubine, and at the same time he also wanted to find a capable person to ask for advice.

It has to be said that Zhao Zhizhen is quite self-aware, he leads troops outside all the year round, and because he has limited knowledge of the situation in Beijing, he refuses to speculate behind closed doors.And in the middle of the capital, he was able to go to ask for advice, and he did not appear to be a capable person. Apart from Concubine Li's own brother, Lin Hai, the Minister of the Household Department, was the only one.

Zhao Zhizhen thought about it and decided...to ask both sides!

But when Zhao Han came out of his father's study, he stopped by to meet Princess Liu Wei: Liu Wei could not see him, but Zhao Han couldn't lose his courtesy.

Sure enough, Zhao Han didn't wait outside for long, when Liu Zhi's eldest girl came out to pass on a message, "Princess Wang is taking a break, sir, please take care of yourself."

Zhao Han bowed respectfully to where Liu Zhi was, and then calmly exited the courtyard.

But it was said that just after Zhao Han was discharged from the hospital, he ran into the eldest girl Zhao Xuan.

After the brothers and sisters greeted each other, the eldest girl smiled and said, "My brother is really filial."

Zhao Han smiled and nodded, but did not answer.

The eldest girl followed Yuan Chun to listen to the book for more than a month, at least she knew what a "City Mansion" was.She didn't get annoyed when her brother ignored her, "Does my brother know that my father is going to the concubine's place every day now? If things go on like this, when our good brother grows up, will there still be a place for us brothers and sisters?"

Zhao Han smiled slightly, and said approvingly: "My younger sister learned the rules from the side concubine, and she really made great progress, and she also knows how to provoke."

His words made the eldest girl's eyes widen, "You! I kindly remind you, you..."

Zhao Han said: "Sister is really not good at lying." After saying that, he took his leave and left.

Father Wang Zhao Zhizhen of course likes Yuanchun mother and son, but he didn't lose sight of the other. Zhao Han is still the same as before, and can get along with his father every day... It's a pity that he was in the inner house, and after all the "sight-sighted" maids and women were transferred away from her side, the younger sister didn't even know what to do. Just don't know that.

Looking at her brother's back, the eldest girl gritted her teeth, but there was nothing she could do: Isn't that what the book says "joint vertical and horizontal"?Why didn't it work?

This brother-sister conversation also reached the ears of Zhao Zhizhen and Yuan Chun that night, and the poor girl's "deliberation" only caused a few laughs in the end.

But he said that when the rest day came, Zhao Zhizhen first went to deliver a post to Lin Hai's mansion.

And Lin Hai is worthy of being the emperor's confidant. The Holy Majesty tracked down the big fish on the roster, and Lin Hai did know the inside story very well. After all, some physical witnesses were collected by him—the names on the roster were all pseudonyms. , It took a lot of effort to compare before and after.

After receiving the post from the Seventh Prince, it was inconvenient for Lin Hai to go directly to the banquet, but it did not prevent him from replying with a few words: I only said that Concubine Li Guifei’s natal brother has both ability and political integrity, and has won the trust of the sage—this means that the Li family is safe and sound, and the rest He also refused to talk more.

But these few words were enough for Zhao Zhizhen to relax, and then he went to the palace to meet his concubine and tell him everything he knew... Although his natal family was fine, it still made Concubine Li think about it all night.

Canonization is not something that can be done with a slap on the head. The treasure book seal, jewelry and clothing are all made by the Ministry of Internal Affairs. This kind of thing is not small. How can she, the noble concubine, not hear the news?

The imperial concubine tossed and turned all night, and when she woke up early in the morning, no amount of makeup could cover the tiredness on her face.But her spirit is quite good: because she has already guessed the true meaning of the Holy Majesty.

And just as each family was busy arranging festival ceremonies and New Year's goods, the Ning Mansion welcomed the chief eunuch in front of the Holy Majesty—this was Zhao Zhizhen's confidant An Decheng's master, because of this close relationship , the eunuch's attitude is good.

But Jia Zhen's face turned from red to white, but never turned back again: watching the great eunuch confiscate all the letters from his father and his study, his chest jumped wildly, feeling a bit of impending disaster.

Even sending money and flattering him with all his strength, he finally sent away the celebrity in front of the Holy Majesty. Jia Zhu sat in the empty study all night before sending someone to the Rong Mansion to invite the two uncles.

I have heard that the brothers Jia She and Jia Zheng, who are in the "battle" in the Ning Mansion today, look stern, but Jia Zhen is still calm at this time, "I beg the eldest girl to pass a message to the prince, just ask how to keep the family business."

Jia Zheng's heart felt like a heavy weight had fallen, feeling stuffy and painful: Daughter, you have to hold back!

The author has something to say: there will be more at night.
