In the Lin Mansion, Lu Zhiyu often comes to play with Daiyu these days, and her friendship with Lin Daiyu is getting deeper and deeper.

Lu Zhiyu has a lively and cheerful personality, eccentric, and often teases Lin Daiyu, which makes Lin Daiyu very moved.

Sometimes Lin Daiyu thinks that Lu Zhiyu is her sister, but she is like a younger sister, so she takes care of Lu Zhiyu more and more.

Lu Zhiyu also experienced the feeling of being loved by her sister, so she became closer to Daiyu, and now both of them treat each other as sisters, and they can't wait to be together every day.

Lu Jing and Lin Ruhai are happy to see it happen, Lu Zhiyu and Lin Daiyu both lost their mothers at a young age, and there is no sister around them to take care of, and now the two can play together, which is naturally the best.

As Lin Ruhai's health improved, Lin Daiyu's mood became better and better, and there were fewer times when she was sentimental.

Lin Daiyu learned more and more about Lu Jing through Lu Zhiyu, and gradually admired her, especially when she heard that she came back, Lu Jing sent someone to protect her all the way, and her heart was even more moved.

Of course, what she was most curious and puzzled about was Lu Jing's understanding of her Jia family's experience, but she couldn't directly contact Lu Jing at present, and she was embarrassed to let Lu Zhiyu help her ask, so she could only temporarily suppress this doubt in her heart.

After sending off the proclamation, Lu Jing followed Lin Ruhai to his study and congratulated Lin Ruhai: "Congratulations teacher, this time you get rid of the shackles, and in the future, you will be the sea and the sky, and you can soar!" ”

"Hehe, thanks to your help, the teacher can be safe and sound this time!" Lin Ruhai said with a smile on his face, the things he planned were successful step by step, and his mood was also very good.

"As for the rest, forget it, this time the emperor arranged the position of a bachelor of the Hanlin Academy for the teacher, which is also in line with the teacher's mind, and the teacher is old, and it is enough to have this position for the elderly!"

Lin Ruhai sighed, although the bachelor of the Hanlin Academy has no real power, but he is extremely noble, and has a very high status in the hearts of Qingliu and scholars, his body can no longer withstand the toss, he just wants to keep this position now, take good care of his body, strive to live a few more years, and take care of Daiyu.

Lu Jing nodded, after this incident, I am afraid that Lin Ruhai will not have the motivation to fight in the officialdom, and Emperor Yuanyong let Lin Ruhai enter the Hanlin Academy, which can be regarded as a kind of protection for Lin Ruhai.

Lin Ruhai offended too many people this time, if Lin Ruhai is arranged with a position of real power, I am afraid that the court will have to fry the pot.

"Then congratulations to the teacher for getting his wish!" Lu Jing said.

"Hehe, speaking of which, this matter is also blessed by heaven, if Chen Lu had not been intercepted and killed, I am afraid that the account book would not have been exposed so early."

Immediately, Lin Ruhai changed his words and said: "Even if it is exposed, if it is known that it is presented by the teacher, I am afraid that the teacher will not be able to gain a foothold in the court!" ”

"Huai Jin, do you know why the emperor didn't arrange specific positions for the teacher?"

"Teacher, please?" Lu Jing said that he naturally knew that from the moment Lin Ruhai betrayed the Emperor, Lin Ruhai's career basically ended here.

But since Lin Ruhai is interested, he doesn't mind being a compliment.

Lin Ruhai pointed out: "Just to deviate from the emperor for the teacher, it is impossible for the emperor to reuse it as a teacher now, and now this result is also the result of mutual compromise between the emperor and the emperor!" ”

"In this way, the game between the emperor and the emperor is evenly divided!" Lu Jing nodded.

If Lin Ruhai is reused, I am afraid that more and more people will defect to the emperor in the emperor's line, and if Lin Ruhai is abandoned, I am afraid that the emperor will lose his prestige, so the two compromised with each other and appointed Lin Ruhai to an official position with high but no real power.

Lin Ruhai saw that Lu Jing explained the key to it, and couldn't help but praise him as a disciple who was born to be an official.

"What you said is right, the emperor arranged for the division to enter the Hanlin Academy, which is equivalent to giving the emperor a soft face in disguise, and it can also be regarded as giving the emperor an explanation to avoid causing a counterattack from the emperor's forces."

Lu Jing heard Lin Ruhai mention this matter, and remembered Emperor Yuanyong's means to appease the forces of the Emperor Taishang: "The disciple heard that the emperor decreed that many daughters of families were concubines this time, including Jia Yuanchun, the eldest girl of Rongfu. ”

Speaking of which, this matter surprised him the most, according to the original timeline, Jia Yuanchun should be the end of this year, but he didn't expect the time to advance so much.

However, if you think about it carefully, it is also reasonable, this Jiangnan turmoil has not only affected Jiangnan, but also has a great impact on Beijing, and many powerful people in Beijing have suffered great losses.

Emperor Yuanyong's move can be regarded as a disguised appeasement to appease everyone, but the fact that Jia Yuanchun is a concubine is very meaningful.

The Jia family did not get involved in the affairs of Jiangnan, and their power did not suffer any losses, but Emperor Yuanyong chose Jia Yuanchun as a noble concubine, and he was still the highest among all the people in Jinfeng.

Emperor Yuanyong's intentions were quite bad, one was to appease Lin Ruhai, and the other was to win over the Jia family, dividing or provoking the relationship between the Jia family and other nobles.

Lu Jing said with emotion: "This time, the Jia family has entrusted the blessing of the teacher, and has been co-opted by the saint, and the teacher's original intention of changing the position of the Jia family has also been achieved!" ”

When Lin Ruhai heard this, the smile on his face suddenly disappeared, he was fighting desperately on the battlefield in front, and the Jia family was dragging him back in the rear.

However, in front of Lu Jing, he didn't want to say more about the Jia family's wrongs: "The emperor's appointment of Yuanchun as a concubine is indeed unexpected by the teacher, but it is also reasonable, the saint cannot be rewarded as a teacher, but can only benefit the in-laws!" ”

"Alas! That's a good thing too! Lin Ruhai thought of Daiyu and sighed helplessly.

This time, he made a mistake and solved the position of the Jia family, looking at Emperor Yuanyong's thoughts, he wanted to pull the Jia family into his camp, and in the future, as long as the Jia family kept its duty and no longer had too close relationships with the Zhen family and Xungui, the Jia family would be invincible.

Lu Jing has reservations about this, whether it is a good thing or not depends on the choice of the Jia family.

Although Emperor Yuanyong's move is to win over the Jia family, it is not a test of the Jia family, and Jia Yuanchun's strange title is very revealing: "Does the teacher know Jia Yuanchun's title?" ”

"Speaking of this, the teacher also feels quite strange, according to the news from Beijing, the emperor named Yuanchun as the Shangshu of Fengzao Palace, and added the title of Concubine Xiande!"

"Fengzao Palace Shangshu is the title of a female official, but the concubine has become a seal, and the words virtuous and virtuous are also extremely strange, they have always been concubines, they have always been single words, virtuous, good, Shu, and Virtue are the titles of the four concubines, and the words virtuous and virtuous are combined, but people don't understand, what kind of position is it!"

There are nine levels of harem concubines in this dynasty, namely: queen, imperial concubine, concubine, concubine, concubine, nobleman, Zhaorong, maid and lady.

Among them, there is a queen, who is in the middle palace. There are two imperial concubines, four concubines, six concubines, six concubines, and there is no fixed number of nobles, Zhaorong, servants, and ladies, and they live in the east and west palaces.

The east palace has Jingren Palace, Chengqian Palace, Yanxi Palace, Fengzao Palace, Yonghe Palace, Jingyang Palace, and the West Palace has Yongshou Palace, Yikun Palace, Qixiang Palace, Changchun Palace, Xianfu Palace, Chuxiu Palace, and each palace has female officials and palace maids.

canonize the imperial concubine, the crown princess, the concubine, the princess, and the princess with a golden book; canonized concubines and princesses with gilded silver books; canonized concubines with silver books; canonization of nobles, duchesses, marquisses and the following paper books; Zhaorong, the selection of waiters, and the ladies are not booked.

Yuan Chun was named a concubine, and she was also considered to have a high position in the palace, in the third rank, if she gave birth to a prince in the future, she could be promoted again, and then she would be the imperial concubine, and her status was only below the queen.

Lin Ruhai couldn't understand what Emperor Yuanyong meant, but he guessed that this should be the emperor's reservations about the Jia family, if the Jia family can completely fall to the emperor, it is estimated that Yuanchun will be able to get a normal title.

"The disciple estimates that the emperor's move must be profound!" Lu Jing reminded that although the concubine Yuanchun was largely due to political factors, it was also Lin Ruhai's credit.

Originally, Lin Ruhai and the Jia family were in-laws, although the Jia family did not speak for Lin Ruhai this time, they did not participate in the impeachment of Lin Ruhai, and now in the eyes of Emperor Yuanyong, Lin Ruhai and the Jia family are one.

If the Jia family can't understand the emperor's intentions and continue to mix with Xungui, I'm afraid Lin Ruhai will also be implicated.

At the same time, Lu Jing is becoming more and more interested in this world, things have changed, Jia Yuanchun still has not escaped this title, coupled with the matter of Yinglian, he has a feeling that maybe someone is manipulating everything behind the scenes, and will automatically correct everyone's fate trajectory, and if it can't be corrected, others will fill the position.

Lin Ruhai nodded solemnly and said, "I will pay attention to this matter!" ”

"But after all, we are far away from Jingshi, we don't know much about the situation in Beijing, and the emperor's mind is not something we can figure out, so let's not speculate for no reason."

Lin Ruhai planned to wait for him to enter Beijing this time, and then discuss the matter with Jia Zheng to see what the emperor was thinking.

Lu Jing saw that Lin Ruhai didn't want to talk more about the Jia family, so he took the initiative to change the topic and said, "I don't know when the teacher will leave?" ”

"Although the emperor allowed me to enter Beijing at the end of the year, but the teacher also needs to enter Beijing in advance to do something, and after the new imperial history arrives, after the handover of all the things in this office, the teacher will return to Suzhou to worship the ancestors, and he will probably enter Beijing in August and September!"

Lin Ruhai paused slightly, and then said: "You can also participate in next year's Spring Festival, and then you can enter Beijing with your teacher, the Lin family still has a house in the capital, and you can settle down at the teacher's place at that time!" ”

Lu Jing didn't agree, but asked, "What did the teacher say about the house on Qimen Street?" ”

"Not bad!" Lin Ruhai was not curious about Lu Jing knowing his mansion in Beijing, in his eyes, Lu Jing was now synonymous with being well-informed, as if there was nothing Lu Jing didn't know.

"The disciple has already bought the mansion next to the teacher's mansion and has already been repaired!"

Last year, he bought the house and renovated it according to his own intentions, and now he can move in with his bags just waiting to enter Beijing.

Lin Ruhai was shocked in his heart, and hurriedly asked, "But Qi Hanlin's house?" ”

Lu Jing replied: "Exactly! ”

"Good, good!" Lin Ruhai praised.

"You really think long-term, it's okay to live next to each other, it's good to have a care, when the teacher was still in Beijing, I remember that the garden of Qi Hanlin's mansion was very well repaired!"

Lu Jing said with a smile: "The disciple took a fancy to that garden, so he bought it when Qi Hanlin returned to his hometown!" ”

At this moment, Lin Zhong reported outside the door: "Master, the second master of the Rong Mansion and the housekeeper Lai ask to see you!" ”

"Let them in!" Lin Ruhai said, now that the holy decree is underway, it is time to completely solve the affairs of the Jia family.

He had already written to inquire about Jia Zheng, and learned that the calculation of the Lin family's property was the proposal of the Zhen family, and he was secretly angry in his heart, and sure enough, it was the Zhen family who wanted to take revenge on him, so he came up with this method.

At the same time, he was also extremely dissatisfied with the Jia family, and no one in the Jia family could see the trap, so he even conspired with the Zhen family to conspire with the Lin family's property.

If the Jia family really transfers the property of the Lin family to the Zhen family, then the Jia family and the Zhen family will be completely tied together, and the Zhen family will fall in the future, and the Jia family will not be able to do well.

He will also be implicated in this, and even make the emperor suspect that he is at both ends of the rat.

Lu Jing saw this situation and immediately retired, he didn't want to get involved in Lin Ruhai and the Jia family.
