Chapter 149: Sharpen the knife
At this time, the sky had just dawned, the sky was deep blue and blue, and there were a few stars, and the eastern sky was already white, and the cold air filled the sky.
At this time, the palace door had not yet opened, and the ministers who had arrived early gathered in groups to talk.
Lin Jia walked up to Han Li, smiled and bowed: "The student has seen the teacher!"
Han Li received a gift from Lin Jia last night, but he hadn't seen him in person, but he was very happy when he saw him at this time, and said, "Ajia, you have already delayed a lot of homework, and you need to start class tomorrow morning!"
Lin Jia saw that the teacher's eyes were full of joy when he looked at him, and he replied "yes" respectfully.
Not far away, Prime Minister Yu Yizhou and Hubu Shangshu Han Chaozong stood side by side, talking to several officials who had stepped forward to talk.
While they were talking, they quietly looked at Lin Jia, who was chatting with Han Li, and found that Lin Jia had changed a lot now, although she still had long phoenix eyes and a tall figure, her body seemed to be stronger than before, and she looked more and more handsome.
Seeing Lin Jia like this, Yu Yizhou and Han Chaozong were very satisfied, and the two of them looked at each other and smiled, and they both had thoughts in their hearts - if Lin Jia can be promoted to another level and her status is more stable, she can be engaged!
Yu Yizhou and Han Chaozong have been friends and confidants since they were teenagers, and they are a firm political ally, the two have long had a tacit understanding, the daughters of the two are going to marry the future crown prince together, Yu Yizhou's daughter is the crown princess, and Han Chaozong's daughter can be the prince Liangdi.
Of course, these words are not for outsiders, the two just looked at each other and smiled, and everything was silent.
The bells and drums of the previous court have been sounded, the gates of the palace are opened, the palace gates are wide open, and the officials who came to participate in the temporary court meeting enter in order.
After the court meeting began, many ministers of civil and military affairs had just returned from the holy order, and found that his skin was as white as jade, his eyebrows were thick, his phoenix eyes were clear, and he looked quite good, not as sick and weak as he was last spring.
Han Qing stood in the Wenchen team, smiling Lin Jia's eyes were unwavering, but his heart had already set off a lot of waves - how could he kill Lin Jia?
He looked away and looked at Emperor Yongtai who was sitting on the throne, and found that Emperor Yongtai's eyes had been looking at Lin Jia, and his eyes were full of joy.
This fact made Han Qing more and more vigilant, and he lowered his eyes, silently thinking about a way to hit with one hit.
Lin Jia stood in the queue of generals, silently thinking about what he was going to say when he went to the Jade Hall after scattering the dynasty.
Now the former privy envoy Wang Yizhen Zhishi, Princess Li's brother Li Qingze was transferred to Beijing to serve as a privy envoy.
Lin Jia's 140,000 horses were stationed in the suburbs of Beijing, and the defense of the capital was already under his control, but Lin Jia was not satisfied, and he had to get the post of privy deputy envoy before Li Qingze took office to compete with Li Qingze.
Emperor Yongtai sat down on the throne and looked down condescendingly, looking for Lin Jia's figure.
At a glance, he saw Lin Jiali in the ranks of generals, with his head down, as if he was thinking about something.
Seeing Lin Jia, Emperor Yongtai was very happy.
In fact, Lin Jia had already gone to the Yutang Hall yesterday afternoon to see him, but when he saw Lin Jia at this time, Emperor Yongtai was still very happy.
Looking at Lin Jia's handsome and tall figure, Emperor Yongtai couldn't help but smile, and there was a joy in his heart that "my family has a child who has just grown up": Ajia was born like when I was young!
After the court meeting was dispersed, Lin Jia was slowly withdrawing with the crowd, and saw the great eunuch Ding Gonggong running all the way over, and stopped him with a smile on his face: "My lord, Your Majesty announced that you will go to the Jade Hall Palace!"
Lin Jia let out an "oh" and went with Father-in-law Ding.
The ministers looked behind them and found that Emperor Yongtai was standing in front of him, and his eyes were almost exactly the same as Lin Jia's, looking at Lin Jia with sparkling eyes.
Seeing this, the ministers had different thoughts, some were jealous of Lin Jia's favor, some understood that Emperor Yongtai's preferred heir was Lin Jia, some began to plan how to tie Lin Jia's knot, and some people raised their vigilance in their hearts and thought about how to bring down Lin Jia......
Everyone had different thoughts and slowly retreated.
After returning to the Yutang Palace, Emperor Yongtai knew that Lin Jia was afraid that he didn't have much breakfast, so he instructed Gonggong Ding: "Ding Dang, let people prepare a few breakfast that Ajia likes to use!"
Ding Dang smiled and replied "yes" and retreated, ready to watch the people prepare breakfast in person.
After breakfast was delivered, although Emperor Yongtai was not hungry, he still accompanied Lin Jia to use some.
With Lin Jia, he didn't want to abide by the rules of "eating silently" at all, picked up the golden cake, separated it with a porcelain knife, smeared some sauce, sandwiched a piece of cabbage sum that could be eaten raw, and sandwiched some roasted venison, and then handed it to Lin Jia - Lin Jia has been a picky eater since he was a child, he received a letter from the Jiang family at that time, and he knew it clearly - and said: "Ajia, you must eat breakfast well, so that you can have the energy to do things!"
Lin Jia actually had no appetite, but the emperor couldn't say goodbye, so he took it and ate slowly.
He ate very delicately, and Emperor Yongtai looked at it for a while, and then remembered the Jiang family, who had long since died, and felt a little sad in his heart.
Lin Jia found that Emperor Yongtai was looking at him, so he looked back.
When he found that Emperor Yongtai's eyes were moist, Lin Jia couldn't help blinking, his eyelashes were thick and long, and the pair of phoenix eyes became clearer and clearer.
He took out the clean handkerchief that Yu Yu had prepared for him from his sleeve pocket and handed it to Emperor Yongtai.
Seeing this, Emperor Yongtai did not shy away from taking the handkerchief handed over by Lin Jia, wiped his eyes, and said: "Ajia, you have been running back and forth this time, it is really hard, take good care of your body in the past few days, and I will start to think about your marriage...... Or, hold a flower party for you in the palace, invite the ladies of the capital to show up, and you choose a wife yourself? ”
As he spoke, he sighed in his heart: My Ajia was born so well, even if the wife is not beautiful enough, she has to choose a few beautiful side rooms, so that she can be named Liangdi in the future......
Lin Jia listened, and said for a while: "Uncle Huang, my health is not good, I will raise it for another year, and then talk about marriage after the crown ceremony!"
When Emperor Yongtai heard this, he immediately became nervous: "It's uncomfortable there?" Come here! ”
Lin Jia couldn't help but smile and said, "That famous doctor in my house, Mr. Liu, didn't I tell Uncle Huang?" Just have him! ”
Emperor Yongtai felt that Lin Jia was reasonable, so he no longer mentioned this matter, but asked Lin Jia: "When will your uncle enter Beijing?"
Before Lin Jia entered Beijing, Emperor Yongtai transferred Lin Jia's eldest uncle Jiang Shulin to Liaozhou, an important military town on the border between the northeast and Liao, as the governor, and his maternal grandfather Jiang Yuntian and second uncle Jiang Shuzhen also took the whole family to Liaozhou.
Emperor Yongtai's purpose in doing this was to cultivate Jiang Shulin's power and make Jiang Shulin a strong backing for Lin Jia.
Now Lin Jia's power is growing, so Emperor Yongtai has issued an edict to transfer Jiang Shulin to Beijing, preparing to let Jiang Shulin serve as the secretary of the military department, so as to help Lin Jia.
Lin Jia took a sip of the milk soup, and then said: "Liaozhou is far away from the capital, and my uncle will be able to arrive in the capital in about a year!"
Emperor Yongtai saw that Lin Jia loved to drink milk soup, so he looked at it with a smile.
After breakfast for a while, seeing that the sun was shining today, Emperor Yongtai took Lin Jia out for a walk.
Gonggong Ding followed behind with two cronies and little eunuchs.
When he walked to Yiqing Lake and saw the eunuchs following from afar, Lin Jia asked Emperor Yongtai: "Li Qingze wants to serve as a privy envoy?"
Emperor Yongtai nodded and said, "The Li clan is now united with the Zhu clan in the northwest......
He knew that Lin Jia could understand, so he didn't have much.
Lin Jia thought for a while, and said confidently: "Uncle Huang, then let me be the deputy privy envoy, and I will contain him!"
Emperor Yongtai laughed when he heard this, and looked at Lin Jia with a smile: "Li Qingze is cunning and cunning, I'm afraid you won't be able to fight him!"
Lin Jia laughed.
He bent down to pick up a white pebble and threw it into Yiqing Lake.
Looking at the stirred snow-white splash, Lin Jia looked at Emperor Zheng'an, and his phoenix eyes were bright: "Uncle Huang, you handed over the right to guard Gyeonggi to me, Li Qingze has more eyes, but I have soldiers!" Xiucai met Bing, and he couldn't explain it clearly. No matter how much he cares, I don't have to pay attention to it, just be simple and rude! ”
Seeing that Lin Jia was triumphant and very childish, Emperor Yongtai couldn't help but laugh and said, "Let me think again!"
Lin Jia said "um", looked up at Emperor Yongtai, and said with great interest: "Uncle Huang, accompany me to walk around Yiqing Lake twice!"
Yu Yu has been forcing him to take a walk for the past few years, and Lin Jia found that proper walking is very useful for enhancing his physique, so he is really in love with walking now, and he also plans to urge Emperor Yongtai to take a walk.
Emperor Yongtai knew that Lin Jia wanted to move more, so he readily agreed and took Lin Jia to scatter along Yiqing Lake.
Seeing that it was almost noon, Emperor Yongtai took Lin Jia back to the Yutang Hall and ordered someone to go to Empress Xuan to come over.
Empress Zhu came to the Yutang Hall in a chariot surrounded by female officials of the palace and had lunch with Emperor Yongtai and Lin Jia.
After lunch, Empress Zhu accompanied Emperor Yongtai to sit in the Winter Warm Pavilion and chat.
Ever since Xie Yucian returned to her and said that Han Qing's sweetheart was Lin Jia's concubine Yu Clan, Empress Zhu planned to meet this Yu Clan and then think about how to kill her.
After chatting for a while, Empress Zhu said with a smile: "Ajia, I heard that you have a concubine surnamed Yu, who is extremely favored, and the palace is also very curious!"
Emperor Yongtai had heard Lin Jia mention the concubine surnamed Yu, saying that he was a life-saving benefactor, and he had suffered together, so he smiled and said: "Yu is Ajia's life-saving benefactor, Ajia is very good to Yu, and he is really a good boy who values love and righteousness!"
Empress Zhu's smile deepened, but there was no smile in her eyes: Nineteen years old, are you still a child? Who has a nineteen-year-old? Your Majesty is really eccentric!
She was furious in her heart, but her face became more and more amiable: "Since you are the person that Ajia likes, then bring it into the palace and let the palace see it!"
Lin Jia's smile was soft and her eyes were clear: "Niangniang, it's really unfortunate, the Yu family has been feeling a little unwell recently, and I'm afraid that she will pass on her illness to Niangniang...... In this way, when she recovers, the minister will definitely take her into the palace to kowtow to the mother! ”
When Queen Zhu saw Lin Jia protecting the Yu clan like this, she wondered in her heart: What kind of demon is this Yu clan, whether it is Lin Jia or Han Qing, they are all dead set on her...... No, we have to see it!
When Lin Jia returned to the house, it was already evening.
He didn't listen directly to Matsuin, but went to the outer study.
Hao Chunping, the shopkeeper of Yibao Building, was waiting in the guest room of the study with four cronies, and when he saw Lin Jia coming back, he hurriedly got up and came out to greet him.
Lin Jia waved his hand and took Hao Chunping and the five into the study.
Ah Qing served tea to Lin Jia and Hao Chunping, and then retreated respectfully, and stayed under the corridor with Ah Chi.
Lin Jia took a sip of the teacup, put down the teacup and looked at Hao Chunping: "I want to get Han Qing's handle."
Hao Chunping smiled slightly: "My lord, is it Lord Han Qinghan, the queen's favorite minister and the head of the Internal Affairs Office?"
Lin Jia bowed.
Hao Chunping laughed, with a mysterious expression: "My lord, Lord Han's handle, Yibaolou has already gotten it!"
When Lin Jia heard this, her phoenix eyes looked over like electricity.
Seeing this, Hao Chunping hurriedly walked to the bookcase and said a few words in a low voice.
The more Lin Jia listened, the more surprised she became-Han Qing was actually Queen Zhu's lover! He knocked down exactly two at once!
He lowered his eyes and looked at Hao Chunping after thinking for a long time: "Do you have any people in the palace?"
Hao Chunping said respectfully: "Lord Qiyu, my subordinates have arranged people in the palace, but their status is a little low...... For example, in the Queen's Funing Palace, the person arranged by her subordinates is just a miscellaneous eunuch. ”
Lin Jia thought about it, and looked at Hao Chunping with deep phoenix eyes: "I want to get the trajectory of Han Qing and Empress Zhu's meeting."
Hao Chunping thought for a moment and said, "My lord, please give your subordinates a month!"
Lin Jia said softly: "Okay!"
He also said: "No matter how much time you spend and how much manpower you invest, I will bring down Empress Zhu and Han Qing!"
Hao Chunping's expression was excited, and the four cronies he brought were also a little moved-this future emperor wanted to treat them as cronies!
Thinking of this, Hao Chunping and his four cronies knelt down together: "Yibaolou is at the disposal of the master!"
After Hao Chunping left, Lin Jia ordered someone to summon Li Rui again.
At this time, in Tingsong Courtyard, Yu Yu was still reading the newspaper.
She had already flipped to the recent Di Bao, and when she saw the edict of Xuan Linjia's uncle Jiang Shulin entering Beijing, she couldn't help but be surprised and happy, surprised that Jiang Shulin was announced by the emperor into the capital, but did not mention a new appointment; Fortunately, with Jiang Shulin in the court, Lin Jia will get a lot of help.
Yu Yu was flipping through the newspaper, Han Lin walked over, smiled and handed over a target glass: "Auntie, the adults are coming back soon, can you look at your makeup?"
Yu Yu took the mirror and took a photo, and couldn't help laughing.
In the morning, in order to pretend to be sick in front of Sydney, she didn't want to see Princess Li, so she specially smeared a layer of violet powder on her lips to make herself look a little sick.
She had already finished reading these newspapers, and was about to think about it, so she got up with a smile and said, "Let's go, I'll go wash and dress up again!"
Han Lin agreed with a smile and followed Yu Yu out.
