After the full moon banquet of Prince Zhaoxiao, the weather gradually warmed up, and the spring flowers bloomed in the imperial garden, and the flowers bloomed. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Lin Yan was confined in the room for a month, and finally was able to come out for a walk, walking in the imperial garden and smelling the birds and flowers, and felt relieved, feeling a little better.

At the same time, the north and south straight road was finally completed, and the emperor was very happy, and the marquis of Zhongshan and Lord Hu, who supervised the construction of the north-south straight road project, recalled them to the capital as meritorious ministers, and rewarded them for their meritorious deeds.

Lord Hu was promoted to the head of the household, and the Marquis of Zhongshan was promoted to the head of the Ministry of Industry, and his descendants were also given shade and golden fields.

All of a sudden, the Hu family and the Marquis of Zhongshan Mansion became hot mansions, and even Concubine Hu Shu felt that she had a bright face in the palace, and this time was full of spring.

And the Zhongshan Hou Mansion is also a big feast, sweeping away the decline of the Zhongshan Hou Mansion after the death of the Jiang family, a big feast, and the guests celebrate.

The Marquis of Zhongshan struck while the iron was hot, and set up a family affair for his two adult grandsons to marry a noble girl, and planned to renew the strings for himself.

But this prosperity lasted less than two months, and then the newly appointed Hu, the head of the Ministry of Works, sent the newly appointed Marquis of Zhongshan, the head of the Ministry of Works, on charges of accepting bribes, withholding compensation payments to farmers during the construction of the north-south straightway, and colluding with merchants who supplied raw materials to deliberately raise prices to earn kickbacks...... By the way, attached are two stacks of evidence of the Marquis of Zhongshan.

And what is involved in this is that the Marquis of Zhongshan colluded with King Qi before the emperor ascended the throne in the early years, and privately supported King Qi's rebellion......

When the emperor heard this, he was furious, and put the Marquis of Zhongshan in prison, stripped him of his family, and waited for the Marquis of Zhongshan to be interrogated by the three divisions.

And the two families who had just settled on their children with the Zhongshan Hou Mansion, as well as the Yongchang Bo Mansion, who were ready to marry their daughters to the Zhongshan Hou Mansion as a continuation, also rushed to quit their relatives.

There was no time inside and outside the court to sigh that things were changing too fast, and starting from the corruption case involved by the Marquis of Zhongshan, the situation of one-two-two-four-case development quickly spread to the entire court.

And the emperor is obviously preparing to make a big move, intending to carry out a comprehensive anti-corruption behavior in the entire court.

But there are a few people in the officialdom who are completely clean, more or less black or gray. The black ones are like accepting bribes and scraping the people's fat and ointment, and the gray ones are like the ice charcoal filial piety that is customary in officialdom.

Even the Lin family, although they will not do such things as accepting bribes and collecting people's fat, it is inevitable that they will collect the filial piety of the officials below - people in the officialdom can't mix up if they are too high and low, so the Lin family must follow the customs of the villagers but firmly maintain certain principles.

The civil and military officials did not know to what extent the emperor planned to carry out this anti-corruption operation, whether it was even counted as gray income, whether it was all convicted of the crime of raiding the family and exterminating the family, or just a small rain, and for a while, the officials of the DPRK and China panicked, and everyone was in danger.

At this time, Lin Yan closed the door of Changkun Palace, and refused to see all the foreign women who came to see her in the name of being weak and needing to recuperate after giving birth, and only occasionally allowed the Zhuang family to enter the palace to see her.

After seeing his little grandson in Changkun Palace, Zhuang sat on the couch and talked to Lin Yan, and sighed: "Now there is really a rumor outside the palace, and people are locked up in prison every day. People who have not been investigated are also afraid that this fire will burn on themselves, and then they will dredge up the relationship everywhere. ”

The weather in May was already hot, Lin Yan drank a bowl of iced apricot milk tea, and said with a smile: "I'm afraid of a lot of people in the family recently, right?" ”

Zhuang said to Lin Yan: "You have just given birth, eat less cold things." Then he replied to her, "No, the carriages at the door are lined up, and they can't be lined up every day." As he spoke, he sighed again: "Your second aunt is afraid of disturbing your grandmother, so she has sent your grandmother to live in Zhuangzi for a period of time, and your eldest aunt and Li and others have also followed you to serve your grandmother." ”

In the name of taking care of the elders in the past, in fact, I don't want them to get involved in these things.

Lin Yan smiled and said, "Mother, it's better to go to Zhuangzi to live for a while, and live in Zhuangzi farther away." ”

The Lin family is in the capital, and there are people who are in contact, and it is inevitable that there will be people who can't wipe their face. And the Lin family is a descendant, and Lin Yan is a queen who is deeply favored by the emperor, others will inevitably think that the Lin family is a ladder to heaven and then ask to come to the Lin family.

But at this time, the emperor was obviously full of confidence and was ready to do a big job, but at this time, the Lin family helped people to intercede with the emperor and dragged his feet, which was simply asking for his own death. Therefore, no matter who asks for the Lin family, the Lin family cannot be involved.

Rather than letting those people beg to refuse without losing face, it is better to live in Zhuangzi and hide for a while.

Zhuang said: "I have this meaning, I have a Zhuangzi in Chengde, few people know, I plan to live there for a while, so before leaving, I will come to see you and a few princesses and princes." ”

As he spoke, he said: "I originally planned to let Youyu go to Zhuangzi with me, but some time ago, Mrs. Wang was seriously ill, and her eldest granddaughter-in-law had to stay in the mansion to serve. It is estimated that there will be a lot of people looking for her, and I have already told her that if someone trains her, she will let her push you to refuse to see people, so during this time, even if Youyu hands the sign to ask to see her, don't see her for the time being. ”

Lin Yan listened and nodded.

Zhuang then sighed: "Your Majesty, this is a thought of a play, and I don't know when this matter will come to an end." Although corruption is a chronic disease in the DPRK, it is necessary to take it slowly, and those like him will ...... as soon as they come up" He did not continue, but sighed again.

Lin Yan smiled when she listened, but she didn't speak.

The emperor didn't think that one came out of the other, he should have been preparing for this matter for a long time, and he should have asked people to find evidence in private, otherwise he wouldn't have caught one of them today, and the evidence would be complete as soon as he came up.

The emperor has made up his mind to correct the atmosphere of officialdom, and she can't hold back.

The Zhuang family stayed in the Changkun Palace for a while and then went back, and then the next day he packed his luggage and left the Wuguo Mansion to go to Zhuangzi in Chengde, and at the same time left the Qi family, and the Wuguo Mansion became an empty mansion for a while.

The emperor's rectification of officialdom was too enthusiastic, and even the death of the eldest princess Jing'an with her face did not cause too many waves.

Princess Jing'an was finally fifty-three years old, and she was so angry with her daughter-in-law that she suffered from wind paralysis last year, and lay in the hospital bed for a year, and then died calmly.

The emperor didn't have much affection for this sister, so he didn't feel much sad about the death of the eldest princess Jing'an, and the Ministry of Rites held a funeral for her in accordance with the rules of the eldest princess.

But no matter how boiling it was outside, Lin Yan closed the door and took care of her children in Changkun Palace, and it was still a quiet time. (To be continued.) )
