August 16, Shandong Mountain Pavilion.

Early morning.

On the Feiyun platform, Lin Ruhai was wearing a dark green plain-faced crane, holding a green jade dragon head crutch in his hand, standing on the top of the mountain and looking at the rising sun and clouds in the east.

Behind him, dozens of servants and more than 100 royal forest soldiers all looked at this thin and even slightly rickety figure with adoring eyes.

Yesterday in the Mid-Autumn Festival, it was this old man, with only 3,000 soldiers and horses in the consular district, who dared to go straight to the mountain pavilion where 30,000 White Lotus demon bandits had gathered!

Yesterday, according to the original plan, the Shandong battalion was to reorganize the army for one day, and on August 16, the army set out to Pingshan Pavilion.

However, the 3,000 elite cavalry selected from the 40,000 army have been training since noon yesterday, and they have been going all the way to the south, to the south!

At the beginning of August 16, he finally arrived at the mountain pavilion.

I don't know how clever this old man is, someone actually opened the north gate of the mountain pavilion, and three thousand soldiers who were originally worried entered the city without hindrance.

They were greeted by 30,000 White Lotus Demon Bandits who drank like mud and couldn't wake up!

Shandong is full of pot-burning Zhuangzi, the White Lotus Sect wants to establish a Buddha country, to celebrate, and it is the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival, so from top to bottom, they are all let go of eating and drinking.

Three thousand iron horsemen, under the guidance of Nei Ying, rushed straight to the middle army, starting from the demon Buddha mother of the White Lotus Sect Master, and then divided into four soldiers and horses, and slaughtered from four directions!

Kill the leaders of cults at all levels from top to bottom, and kill them in the sky above a small mountain pavilion city, and it will be filled with blood!

At this time, although some of the lower-level members of the church woke up, the general trend had gone.

The 30,000 troops of the Shandong battalion came one after another, except for the 6,000 soldiers and horses who were transferred into the city to watch the White Lotus demons, the remaining 24,000 troops were divided into eight divisions by Lin Ruhai, each with 3,000 troops, and sent to the eight counties where the elite was lost, and all the lost land was recovered.

"Xiangye, Wang Adaa and He Ye, the prefect of Jeju Prefecture, are here, saying that there is something very important and please ask Xiangye to take an idea."

The old servant Lin Zhong stepped forward to report.

Lin Ruhai nodded, and when he saw that the morning glow in the east had dispersed, he turned around and walked towards the city, and asked, "Have you already sent out the excerpt I wrote?" ”

Lin Zhong hurriedly said: "I have sent eight hundred miles to expedite and send it to Duzhong, the weather in Beizhili is good in autumn, calculate it, and you can enter Beijing this afternoon." Master, the general sent by the Military Aircraft Department to promote the Shandong battalion also came, and he was very unhappy, looking like he thought that the old man had taken the military merit first. The embroidered guards also came, obedient to the meaning, and wanted to meet our inner ...... in the White Lotus Sect."

When Lin Ruhai heard this, he only smiled faintly, didn't say much, and walked all the way to Shanting County.

Shangwen Wu of the yatang hurriedly got up and bowed, Lin Ruhai said "hmm", coughed twice, and said, "Let's go." ”

After that, his eyes fell on the face of a burly and black-faced general, and he smiled faintly: "The old man heard that General Liu is not very happy?" ”

When the general heard this, he hurriedly said, "Not happy? Nothing! Xiang Ye must have misunderstood, at most he felt that he couldn't contribute to Xiang Ye's worries, and he also lived up to the high expectations of the old grandfather in Beijing, so he ran away in vain, how could he be unhappy? No no! "Described frivolous, soldier oil in general.

Lin Ruhai sighed and said, "If Zhao Guogong is dissatisfied, go back to Beijing and let him come to the old man to ask for the guilt." ”

After that, he no longer paid attention to this person, and looked at one of the four thousand households of embroidered clothes and guards who came down from Beijing, and said, "You ask the old man to ask for someone?" ”

Qianhu smiled bitterly and said: "Xiangye, I have a hundred dog galls in my humble position, and I don't dare to ask Xiangye for someone." It's just that after returning to Beijing, I have to report to the commander and envoy on my work, and I have to keep a record of many things......"

Lin Ruhai said "um" and said, "The excerpt was written two hours ago, and it was sent to Beijing in an expedited manner for eight hundred miles." The detailed process and reasons have been presented to the emperor. It's just that the old man doesn't remember how I acted, and I have to report to Wei Yongzuo again? Anyway, the old man doesn't embarrass you, if there is anything you want to ask, you can ask. ”

When this embroidered guard Qianhu heard this, he couldn't stand still, knelt on the ground and kowtowed: "Xiangye has tormented the villain, the villain has 10,000 heads, and he doesn't dare to ask Xiangye's words...... Xiangye, the little one, the little one should be damned! Little damn it! ”

Lin Ruhai waved his hand, his eyes fell on the general's face again, and said lightly: "Old man, whether you feel that you run in vain and are unwilling to return in vain, or if there is someone behind you who instigates you." At present, the stability of Shandong is the top priority, who dares to mess with the old man's disaster relief strategy, don't blame the old man's subordinates for being ruthless, and behead your head with the sword of the Son of Heaven. Let's go down, before the old man leaves Shandong, you and the two don't go out again. ”

The two of them sweated profusely when they heard this, and after thanking Lin Ruhai, they hurriedly returned to Quancheng and thought about it behind closed doors.

They didn't expect that Lin Ruhai would be so strong......

After the two left, the Jeju prefect and Wang Ah Dacai stepped forward and told the story of Kong's orphans.

After hearing this, Lin Ruhai became upset and asked, "Maybe it's confirmed, that woman is the concubine of Kong Zhaohuan, the third son of Yansheng Gong?" ”

Jeju Governor He Ye hesitated for a moment and said, "It should be right, and Wen Po said that the Zhao family is the little son born in the well." Xia Guan really can't think of any discrepancies in this. ”

Lin Ruhai said in a deep voice: "It's about the saint and the Miao descendant, and I can't be careless." ”

He Ye hurriedly said: "By the way, Xiangye, then the Zhao family can recite the Analects." The lower officials once heard that in the Holy Mansion, whether they are old or young, women and children, they must be able to memorize the "Analects"! ”

Lin Ruhai pondered for a while, and then asked, "Then what else did the Zhao family say?" ”

Wang Adao: "Xiangye, Zhao said that now there are only two of them left in the Holy Mansion, in order to thank the imperial court for saving their lives, she is willing to donate all the fields, assets and shops, houses and grain all over Shandong to the imperial court to help the people of Shandong Township!" ”

When Lin Ruhai heard this, he said, "Really? ”

He Ye and Wang Ah Daqi said: "It's true! ”

Lin Ruhai nodded and said, "In that case, this Kong Zhao clan must be a saint Miao descendant!" I heard that when the fire burned that day, there was no rain in Shandong for several months, but there was a sudden rainfall, so that the fire could not burn for too long. Could it be that it is the blood of the saint who never stops in the sky? ”

He Ye and Wang Ah were shocked when they heard this, they didn't expect this, but if it wasn't so, how else could they explain it?

If the fire really burned that day, the baby might not have survived!

Lin Ruhai said in a deep voice: "The Qufu incident is what you and the two of you have seen and experienced with your own eyes, and all the details will be recorded and sent to the capital to be decided by the Son of Heaven!" ”

The two hurriedly responded, and then left in a hurry.

After the two left, Lin Ruhai lowered his eyes, and the expression in his eyes was a little complicated.

It is conceivable that after being introduced to the capital, this child who was born with the blessing of God and the rain from heaven to help him survive, whether it is true or not, will definitely become a new generation of Yan Shenggong.

The destruction of the Kong family, in a sense, was a slap in the face of the imperial court.

If there is no explanation, people in the world will not let it go easily.

And the appearance of this child born with a vision can calm the hearts of the people of the world, and they will become more and more convinced of the Holy Teacher.

But behind this, after all, there is a traitor......

However, look at the mountains of grain piled up in Shanting City, as well as the granaries in the land of the eight counties, they are all full of grain that the White Lotus Sect has snatched back.

Lin Ruhai thought it was worth it!

Mencius said: The people are precious, the community is secondary, and the monarch is light.

The Son of Heaven is still light, and the community is secondary, let alone a group of national beetles?!

……

Fengzao Palace, nave.

Empress Yin sat on the phoenix couch, and Her Royal Highness sat Concubine Yuan, Concubine Duan, Zhou Guiren and others.

Before the fight, Lin Ruhai was placed under house arrest in Shandong, and after the bad news that Jia Qiang was sent to the prison for murder on the street, the atmosphere in the harem became much more subtle.

In Baoyu's eyes, all the beautiful girls have pure hearts like clear water and are not stained with dust, but only when they go deep into the palace can they understand that the most beautiful women in the world are also the deepest.

Of course, sometimes it's also the shallower.

When someone gains power, he is surrounded by sycophants who say good things and recognize his sister.

But when people see that they are about to lose power, the people who used to shout their closest sisters around them have become people who are talking nonsense behind their backs......

The most realistic place in the world, one is in the officialdom, and the other is in the palace.

Looking at Concubine Yuan, who was pale and had a very bad complexion, Queen Yin smiled: "You are a narrow-minded person, you have been with this palace for a few years, and you can see that everything can be done properly, and you never make mistakes, but in the past, there was this palace in front of you, so you can just do things with peace of mind." Now that you have been promoted to the imperial concubine, it is time to take charge of yourself, take a look, but a few words of rumor and sneering, you have become like this. When you were with this palace, didn't you see what hardships this palace had suffered? If you're like you, I'm afraid your bones will melt. It's not out of a hurry! ”

When Yuan Chun heard this, he got up and pleaded guilty: "It's the concubine who has embarrassed the mother!" ”

Empress Yin smiled: "What face can you lose in this palace?" I just don't think you're smart. Even if you don't understand what is going on outside, you should understand something when you just watch Wu'er find some delicious food from the palace every day and send it to the edict. After this experience, you can grow a little. That Sun Xing of your Jia family can be a big one, and you don't need to worry about him as a big aunt. ”

Yuan Chun heard such accurate words for the first time, and gratefully curtched his knees and said: "If you can get Niangniang's words, the concubine will be relieved!" ”

Empress Yin smiled: "Do you feel that when you are in trouble, do the concubines be disrespectful to you?" ”

As soon as these words came out, Concubine Duan, Ru and the others were startled, and hurriedly smiled: "How dare you?" ”

Yuan Chun also smiled and said, "Not yet." ”

Although she could feel that in the past few days when the Jia family was in trouble, the attitudes of the Ru family, the Zhou family, the Wu family and others were still a little subtle.

But it's not rude.

Empress Yin smiled and nodded, and after a few words of relief to Yuan Chun, the chief eunuch Mu Di came to play: "Niangniang, Uncle Dao is here." ”

Empress Yin smiled when she heard this, and let Yuanchun and the others continue to manage the palace affairs, while she went to the side hall to meet Yin Chu.

……

Shenjing West City, Rongguo Mansion.

In Rongqing Hall, Mother Jia's complexion was not very good, she was crooked on the soft couch, leaning on the brocade leaning, gossiping with Aunt Xue and Mrs. Wang.

Mother Jia asked Aunt Xue: "What step has the family matter with the Osmanthus Xia family been discussed?" But is it Najib's turn? ”

Aunt Xue smiled and said, "It's already Najib!" ”

When getting married, pay attention to the six rites, namely: Nacai, asking for names, Najib, Najib, Nazheng, inviting dates, and greeting relatives.

Najib is a symbolic dowry, and Najib is a formal dowry, an overly big gift.

Jia Mu smiled: "Yo! It's time to ask for a date, but what date is it going to be? ”

Aunt Xue said with a smile: "The old lady doesn't know, the evil obstacle in my family has to wait for Brother Qiang to come out and discuss with Brother Qiang before deciding." I can't help him, so I can only let him go. ”

Jia Mu smiled: "It is said that your brother is reckless and difficult to learn, I think it is clear that stupid people have stupid blessings, which are much stronger than some people who seem to be shrewd." When Brother Qiang was down, he helped out. Feng Zihao's big family business is also a loss to him for daring to lend it to Brother Qiang behind his aunt's back. Now it seems that the things that were the first defeat have become a great thing. ”

Mrs. Wang's face turned pale when she heard this, and Aunt Xue smiled: "How can Pan'er be as good as the old lady said?" It's just Brother Qiang taking him. By the way, I vaguely heard that Brother Qiang is about to come out? ”

Sister Feng on the side smiled: "Then who knows?" said that he would wait until Aunt Lin returned to Beijing. Yesterday, the old lady sent someone to bring some mooncakes, melons and fruits and meals in, and I don't know if he ate them. In fact, she had heard from Ping'er that Jia Qiang Xu would be able to come out in a few days......

Aunt Xue smiled: "Whether you eat it or not, it's all the old lady's heart!" And he said, "How can I hear that the old lady told her sisters to do something?" ”

Jia Mu smiled: "Where is my idea, it is Brother Feng'er's method." The two of the eldest lord and the historian did some foolish things before, with Brother Qiang's temperament, there is still a way for them to live after they come out? I couldn't sleep well, but I didn't have a good idea. Feng Yatou gave me an idea, saying that we can't talk well, although I asked Yu'er to persuade her, Yu'er will definitely listen to me, but if I come strongly, it is hard to guarantee that Brother Qiang will not be happy. I simply didn't come forward, let the second girl and the cloud girl come forward, and then pull their sisters, even the treasure girl, and let them go and beg for a favor. Let's see if we can coax this overlord when the time comes! ”

Aunt Xue laughed and said, "Where is it like this......"

Mother Jia waved her hand and said: "Every family has a scripture that is difficult to read, and my aunt is not an outsider, alas, there is such a master in the family, there are good and bad!" Without this, the lintel of Jia's house will decay sooner or later. The dignified martial arts family does not even know the soldiers, it is simply a laughing stock. How long can this title last if it goes down from generation to generation? Now there is a brother Qiang, he is a powerful one, and he has fought hard to make a Hou Ye out. With him, the Jia family can at least keep a few generations of wealth. It's a good thing, but this great-grandson has also been a little more powerful...... Let's go, don't mention it. In the future, he will do whatever he wants, and I don't know anything, and I don't ask anything! Just guard these granddaughters and Baoyu and live a good life. Even my wife will not have much to do in the future. ”

Since the news came that Lin Ruhai suddenly broke out in Shandong, killed Zhang Liang, the general of Shandong, and imprisoned the governor of Shandong, the political envoy, and the procurator of Shandong, Mrs. Wang also began to worry in her heart, where do you dare to do more, she nodded slowly, indicating that she knows.

After Jia Mu saw that she should go, she didn't say anything more.

After all, Mrs. Wang didn't say too many words, and was choked half to death by Daiyu, Jia Qiang would not tear this family apart, leaving him alone to live?

Mother Jia gossiped with Aunt Xue again to relieve her boredom, and while she was talking, she saw Li Kun coming in from outside, with a hesitant look on her face.

Jia Mu asked, "But what happened, why is it difficult to be like this?" ”

Li Kun hurriedly smiled: "It's not a serious matter, it's just that a mother-in-law came outside, saying that she was a relative of the wife's family, claiming to be Grandma Liu, and brought a basket of sweet potatoes to visit her." I didn't know this grandma, so I wanted to come to find the phoenix girl for an idea. ”
