Chapter 299: Losing the Pawn and Protecting the Commander
At the end of February, the peach blossoms have just bloomed, and the wind is still waiting for the cold, but the spring flowers have withered, and the apricot and cherry blossoms have begun to bloom, turning the whole capital into a world of snow white and pink.
Today's sun is shining, and Emperor Yongtai specially took Ah Yin to meet Prime Minister Yu Yizhou and several close ministers such as Han Chaozong, the head of the household, in the Yutang Palace, and prepared to choose a teacher for Ah Yin.
These members of the court all understood Emperor Yongtai's thoughts, so they were all carefully observing this five-year-old little imperial grandson.
The little emperor's grandson was born very well, although he was only five years old, he was still a child with baby fat, but he trimmed his eyebrows, phoenix eyes and red lips, and his father, the crown prince Lin Jia, will grow into a beautiful boy with a good demeanor in the future.
What's even better is that the little emperor's grandson's skin is white and red, his phoenix eyes are bright and clear, and he is full of vitality.
Yu Yizhou and the others were satisfied, and the words were naturally brought out, and Emperor Yongtai was satisfied when he heard it, holding the little emperor and squinting his eyes and smiling.
Just as he was talking lively, Yang Wen suddenly came in to report: "Your Majesty, the queen asks to see you!"
Emperor Yongtai was about to speak, and the words that Yu Yu said hesitantly when he was about to take Ah Yin away a few days ago suddenly appeared in his mind - "I don't know the queen Ah Yin"
Thinking of this, Emperor Yongtai immediately said: "I have a foreign minister here, and tomorrow I will go to Funing Hall to visit the queen!"
When Yang Wen heard this, he replied "yes" and quickly retreated.
He is Lin Jia's person, so naturally he will not explain much to Queen Jiang.
After being a country, she was actually rejected by the emperor, and even the emperor's bedroom could not enter, Empress Jiang seemed to be nailed there all of a sudden, and her face was full of fat and powder.
Qingming hurriedly helped her, and raised his eyes to look at Yang Wen, who was expressionless: "Father-in-law Yang, please!" The queen has something urgent to tell Your Majesty! β
She settled down, let go of Queen Jiang, walked in front of Yang Wen, raised her eyes to look at Yang Wen, smiled charmingly, reached out to shake Yang Wen's hand, and said softly: "Father-in-law Yang, this is a little bit of the slave's heartββ"
Now, although the chief eunuch of the Yutang Palace has become Li Xiuzhen, Yang Wen is still the chief eunuch of the imperial study, and he is deeply favored by Emperor Yongtai.
Yang Wen took a step back abruptly, and a stack of silver tickets flew out and scattered on the ground.
The people present were all stunned for a moment - the female official in charge of the queen's palace actually bribed Yang Gonggong in public!
Empress Jiang had already sobered up at this time, and immediately said with a smile: "Qingming, why are you so careless, why don't you put the silver ticket in your sleeve pocket?" If you take it in your hand and it is blown away by the wind, you will have to make up for the monthly case of this month in the Funing Palace! β
Qingming has served Empress Jiang for many years, and has a tacit understanding with her, and immediately smiled and instructed the palace maids and eunuchs who followed him: "Why don't you pick it up quickly, do you really want me to subsidize the private silver to give you the moon silver?"
Only then did those palace maids and eunuchs come to their senses and hurriedly picked up the silver tickets scattered on the ground.
Back in the Funing Palace, Empress Jiang went straight into the dormitory.
Seeing this, Lichun hurriedly followed in with two palace maids: "Queen Mother, the slave maid serves you, take off your big clothes first!"
Empress Jiang glanced at her lightly and said, "Qingming stays, and the rest of the people retreat!"
Lichun paused, replied "yes", and retreated with everyone.
Seeing that the curtain fell, Queen Jiang leaned on the small kang table and said, "Qingming, you go to Jiang's Mansion to send the reward of the festival."
Qingming looked at Empress Jiang with burning eyes, waiting for Empress Jiang's orders.
Empress Jiang sighed and said slowly: "Forget it, there is a pair of white jade chess pieces in the treasury, let people take it out, and put it in the reward of the Shangsi Festival, just say that it is a playpiece that I rewarded my father, and my father will understand."
It's just a loss of pawn to protect the handsome, Daddy will understand.
All the people who were planted in the Prince's Mansion have been cleared out, and now Lin Jia is holding the handle of the Jiang family step by step, if you want to protect the glory and wealth of the Jiang family and keep her position as the queen, there must be a person who is important in the Jiang Mansion to stand up and bear these charges.
Qingming replied "yes" and went to make arrangements.
Lin Jia's sedan chair stopped in front of the palace gate, and it wasn't until the sedan chair of Dali Temple Qing Ding Heyun came over that he got off the sedan chair and took Li Rui and A Qing with Ding Heyun to enter together.
When passing through the cabinet, Lin Jia was stopped by Liang Yongming, the secretary of the Ministry of War, and Wang Yizhen, the privy envoy: "Your Highness, something big has happened in the southwest!"
Lin Jia stopped, and looked at Wang Yizhen with phoenix eyes slightly: "What's the matter?"
Liang Yongming, the secretary of the Ministry of War, and Wang Yizhen, the privy envoy, immediately looked at Ding Heyun beside Lin Jia, with a sad face.
Lin Jia immediately made a decision and asked Ding Heyun to take people to meet Emperor Yongtai, and he took Liang Yongming, the secretary of the military department, and Wang Yizhen, the privy envoy, to the direction of the imperial study.
After entering the imperial study, Lin Jia asked Liang Yongming and Wang Yizhen: "What happened in the southwest?"
Wang Yizhen arched his hand and said: "Your Highness, I just got the news that Dali has converted the whole country to the True Religion!"
When Lin Jia heard this, the phoenix eyes that had been as calm as water suddenly became fierce: "Is the news true?"
Wang Yizhen was looked at by Lin Jia like this, and his body couldn't help but froze, and he immediately said: "Your Highness, Weichen has gathered information from all sides, so he dares to come to see you!"
Lin Jia thought for a moment and said, "Didn't we plan it a long time ago?" Now that Dali has taken refuge in Western Xia, let's start doing it! β
Dali's position is extremely important, but the king of Dali has been secretly hooking up with Xixia, Lin Jia has long wanted to annex Dali, but Dali has always been a Buddha and loves peace, but he is really a teacher, he had to secretly let people secretly contribute to the mission of Guizhen Church in Dali, but he didn't expect that after three years of operation, Dali put himself into the arms of Guizhenjiao!
He took a sip of the teacup, looked at Liang Yongming and said in a deep voice: "Liang Yongming, you took my talisman and let Xu Zhichun of Dian Prefecture lead the army to the Dali border!"
Liang Yongming participated in Lin Jia's plan, and immediately replied "yes".
Lin Jia's face was still a little pale, but his eyes were dark and clear, and he looked at Wang Yizhen: "Wang Yizhen, let our people in Dali start to play the slogan of 'Qingjun side, chase the cult', wait for Xu Zhichun to enter Dali, and Xu Zhichun should be in harmony with Xu Zhichun!"
Wang Yizhen replied "yes" in a deep voice.
In order to get Dali, Emperor Yongtai and Lin Jia have been in business for three years and have been waiting for an opportunity, but they didn't expect Dali to hand over the knife himself.
Liang Yongming and Wang Yizhen said goodbye and left.
Lin Jia leaned back in the chair and closed her eyes to rest for a moment.
Seeing that his face was pale, Li Rui couldn't help but worry, and hurriedly said softly: "Your Highness, are you still going to the Jade Hall Palace?"
Lin Jia still closed her eyes, and her voice was fluttering: "If you don't go, just Ding and Yun will go."
He knew very well in his heart that Emperor Yongtai's imperial technique was inseparable from the word "check and balance", although he trusted him and handed over the army to him, but he refused to let go in government affairs, and Jiang was just a pawn used by Emperor Yongtai to balance him, without Jiang, there were others.
Now the Jiang family is very easy to use, and Emperor Yongtai will not let go easily, but according to Emperor Yongtai's temperament, if the Jiang family dies, it will accumulate over time, and there will always be a day when the general account will be settled in the future
Li Rui remembered Yu Yu's explanation, and hurriedly said: "Your Highness, your body has not fully recovered, it is better to go back to the prince's mansion to rest first!"
In the past few days, Yu Yu has explained to him and asked him to take good care of His Royal Highness the Prince, and he is naturally attentive.
Lin Jia opened her eyes, and also remembered Yu Yu, with a smile in her eyes: "I'm waiting for a news here, and when I get this news, I'll go back!"
Before going out, Yu Yu also told him not to be tired and go home after finishing his work.
Li Rui thought for a while and said, "Your Highness, why don't you rest on the couch for a while?"
Lin Jia was as good as a stream, and really helped Li Rui into the back room and fell asleep on the couch.
An hour later, Lin Jia really got the news he was waiting for - Jiang Shuzhen, the second master of the Jiang Mansion, committed suicide in fear of crime, and left a suicide note to admit that he had a grudge with Lin Jia because of a trivial matter, so he sent someone to poison the crown prince Lin Jia.
Lin Jia was woken up by Li Rui, sat there in a daze, and got up after a while and said, "Go home!"
Jiang's big room and second room have always been close, and the second uncle Jiang Shuzhen has been closely following the eldest uncle Jiang Shulin, but he didn't expect to become a sacrificed pawn
That's politics.
But Lin Jia still felt cold.
Li Rui served him and put on a cloak, but Lin Jia was still shivering with cold.
He helped Li Rui and said softly: "Go home, Yu Yu is waiting for me!"
Yu Yu has been taking care of Lin Jia these days, ignoring Tinglan and Wan'er, feeling a little guilty in her heart, seeing that the sun is shining today, she asked Granny Dong and Granny Shen to take Tinglan and Wan'er to play in the courtyard, and she asked people to put a circle chair and sit on the circle chair to watch them play.
Wan'er is now taller, fatter, and her personality is more lively than before, seeing Yu Yu sitting next to her, she asked the maid to help her break an apricot blossom, walked over in her hand, and said softly: "Mother, look at this apricot blossom!"
Yu Yu adopted her and was her stepmother, so she always followed Tinglan to call Yu Yu Yu her mother.
Yu Yu found that Wan'er looked more and more like her biological father Wang Qingyu, with apricot eyes and a high nose, becoming more and more beautiful, so she laughed and said, "This apricot blossom is very beautiful!"
Wan'er tentatively leaned into Yu Yu's arms and handed the apricot blossom to Yu Yu: "Mother, I've given it to you!"
Yu Yu took the apricot blossom and smiled slightly: "Thank you, Wan'er!"
Tinglan watched from the side, envious in her heart, but refused to speak, and stood there watching.
When Yu Yu saw it, he hurriedly beckoned: "Tinglan, come to my mother!"
When Ting Lan saw it, she was surprised and delighted, and immediately ran over with a smile and leaned into Yu Yu's arms.
When Wan'er saw that Tinglan was also coming, she felt panicked, and she was a little disgusted with Tinglan, so she smiled and said, "Mother, I'll tell you a secret!"
Yu Yu smiled and said, "What secret?"
Wan'er glanced at Tinglan and said, "Mother, Tinglan wetted the bed again last night!"
When Tinglan heard this, she looked at Yu Yu with shame and anger, and tears were dripping in her big eyes: "Mother, Tinglan didn't mean it"
She was so thirsty before going to bed that she drank a little too much water, and she actually wet the bed.
Yu Yu's eyes gently stroked Tinglan's head, and said softly, "Did Tinglan drink too much water last night?" Don't drink so much water before going to bed in the future! β
Ting Lan nodded again and again with tears in her eyes: "Mother, I know!"
Yu Yu carefully wiped away her tears, and soothed her softly for a while, and then told the nurse to take Tinglan away to play.
After Tinglan left, Yu Yu looked at Wan'er: "Wan'er, think about it now, what did you do wrong?"
Wan'er turned pale with fright, stood there with her head down, and cried too.
Yu Yu was unmoved, and instructed the sharp-toothed mint: "You take her down, tell her what's wrong, if she understands, bring her over to see me!"
Mint replied "yes" smartly, and took Wan'er's hand and went to the apricot blossom forest.
It didn't take long for Wan'er to come over with mint.
She looked at Yu Yu with teary eyes, and curtsied: "Mother, Wan'er knows that she is wrong, Wan'er shouldn't tell people the secret of Sister Tinglan"
Yu Yu was satisfied, and said softly: "You have to remember that a real lady will not spread other people's secrets, especially your own sister's secrets!"
Wan'er replied "yes", leaned into Yu Yu's arms again, and coquettishly said with tears: "Mother, Wan'er is so sad, you wipe Wan'er's tears"
Coaxed Tinglan and Wan'er, Yu Yu was a little tired, so she asked the nurse to watch them, and helped Hanlin back to the room.
After sitting down on the Arhat bed in the bright room, Yu Yu leaned on the small kang table and stood in a daze with one hand.
Hanlin massaged her shoulders.
Mint knelt on the footrest and massaged Yuyu's somewhat puffy legs.
Yu Yu thought for a while, and then said softly: "Hanlin, probably I'm really biased, I look at Ah Yin and Naya, I think their brother and sister have good personalities, they are very cute, but I will think Tinglan is weak and Wan'er is cunning."
"You're good enough!" Han Lin laughed, "The prince and the county lord are really cute!" β
Thinking of the cuteness of Ah Yin and Naya, her smile became brighter and brighter, and she talked to Yu Yu in detail.
When Yu Yu heard this, her eyes were full of smiles, and she couldn't help but boast to herself: "Ah Yin and Naya have really inherited the advantages of me and Ah Jia!"
After thinking about it, she instructed Mint again: "You send the pair of red gold phoenix hairpins sent by Yibaolou this month to Granny Dong and Granny Shen, just say that I will reward them, let them take good care of Tinglan and Wan'er, I have asked people to invite Li Helan, a famous female gentleman in the capital, and they will go to school every day like Ah Yin in the future!"
Mint replied "yes" and went to speak.
Yu Yu thought of Naya who was far away in Xixia again, and her heart was empty.
At this moment, Jing Jiao reported outside: "Qi Yu Liangdi, Your Highness is back!"
When Yu Yu heard this, he hurriedly instructed Dill: "Go to the Warm Pavilion and send the medicinal soup for His Royal Highness!"
Lin Jia was originally walking well, everything was normal, but as soon as he saw Yu Yu, he began to feel sorry for himself: "Yu Yu, I'm still a little uncomfortable"
When Yu Yu heard this, her heart was full of pity, and she hurriedly helped Lin Jia into the bright room, commanded the maid to serve Lin Jia and cleaned her hands, and then took the hot hand towel and went to wipe Lin Jia's face in person.
Lin Jia sat on the Luohan bed, closed his eyes and looked up to accept Yu Gardenia's care, the fragrance of roses on Yu Gardenia's body was on the tip of his nose, all the pain seemed to disappear at once, and he was intoxicated by Yu Gardenia's body fragrance.
Yu Yu stood in front of Lin Jia, holding Lin Jia's face with one hand, and wiping it with a hot hand towel in the other, and said in his mouth: "Ah Jia, wait a while to drink the medicinal soup first, rest for a while and then start to have dinner, and I will accompany you for a walk after dinner - Mr. Liu explained, let you still maintain the habit of walking after dinner, you have to walk for at least half an hour every day!"
Lin Jia obediently said "um", very well-behaved.
Seeing him so well-behaved, Yu Yu's heart was sweet, and she leaned over and kissed Lin Jia on the lips: "Really good!"
Lin Jiajun's face was slightly red, and he felt that he had no face to see people, so he simply buried his face in Yu Yu's arms.
Seeing this, Han Lin and the other maids hurriedly smiled and retreated.
After the maids all went out, Lin Jia said in a low voice: "Yuyu, I'm a little uncomfortable, you give me a massage."
Yu Yu promised with a mouthful: "If you drink the medicinal soup, I will give you a full body massage!"
Lin Jia naturally agreed.
Yu Yu's hand was strong, and Lin Jia was very comfortable to press, and he was sweating.
Finding that Lin Jia was sweating, Yu Yu breathed a sigh of relief - Mr. Liu said, drink the medicine soup, no matter what method is used, you must make His Highness sweat, only when he sweats, the toxins in his body will be discharged!
She fed Lin Jia another cup of warm boiled water, and then said, "Ajia, go out for dinner, soak in a medicinal bath before going to bed and take a bath!"
Lin Jia sat up and suddenly hugged Yu Yu tightly.
has been with Yu Yu for nine years, and in nine years, Yu Yu has already become his flesh and bones
After a while, Lin Jiajun's face was slightly red and he let go of Yu Yu - for some reason, he reacted as soon as he smelled Yu Yu's body.
In order to divert attention, Lin Jia said in a low voice: "Yu Yu, I have already explained to the main courtyard of the Great Sect, canonized Jin Xiuzhu as his wife, and recorded it in the royal jade." You will meet Doctor Jin tomorrow and sell her this favor. β
Yu Yu agreed, glanced at Lin Jia's bulging place, and resisted the thought of pinching and kneading - you can't let Lin Jia indulge anymore!
