Jia Lian took Wang Xifeng back to Rongfu, and sure enough, Baoyu had returned. I didn't bother with Baoyu's rotten things anymore.

was planning to accompany a few children in the afternoon, Lin Ruhai suddenly sent him a letter and asked him to come over to the house.

In the imperial city of Yanxi Palace, Jia Yuanchun listened to the hugging of the piano while eating peach blossom cake.

Sure enough, just like Jia Lian said, when she returned to the palace, Emperor Longzheng personally told her that she should stay in Yanxi Palace to raise the baby with peace of mind and stop managing palace affairs. However, Empress Song did not announce the removal of her identity as the Shangshu of Fengzao Palace.

Jia Yuanchun also let go very simply, and stayed in Yanxi Palace on weekdays to raise the fetus. However, I will go to Fengzao Palace once a day.

Jia Lian arrived at the Lin Mansion and ran to see Lin Daiyu first as usual.

"Sister, I'm here to see you."

In the back garden of the Lin Mansion, Jia Lian found Lin Daiyu. However, seeing what Lin Daiyu was doing, Jia Lian felt that he should have witnessed a piece of the history of the Red Mansion.

Because Lin Daiyu was holding some plum blossoms falling from the flower branches and digging a pit.

"Daiyu Funeral Flowers!" Jia Lian was a little puzzled, after such a long period of cultivation, she shouldn't have such sad feelings anymore.

What's more, it's winter.

"Ah, stinky cousin, why are you here?" When Daiyu saw Jia Lian, she immediately threw away the small hoe in her hand and ran over.

"What are you doing?" Jia Lian reached out and touched Daiyu's head, and asked with some puzzlement.

"I remember that you have a poem called Falling red is not a ruthless thing, turning into spring mud is more protective of flowers. Last night's strong wind blew those petals off the top. I thought that although these falling flowers were not red flowers, they should be considered red. So I want to bury them here and see if the flowers bloom better next year. ”

Jia Lian smiled with relief, but remembered that he had given her this masterpiece of Gong Zizhen in order to brainwash Daiyu. It seems that it has finally worked.

"Yes, let's bury it together."

played with Lin Daiyu for a while, and buried those plum blossom petals under the plum blossoms. Jia Lian ran to Lin Ruhai's study to find Lin Ruhai in a happy mood.

Lin Ruhai, who was working at the desk, glanced at him angrily when he saw Jia Lian coming in: "You are really good, you are such an adult, I have a big matter to discuss with you, and you actually went to the garden to play children's games with Yu'er." ”

Jia Lian hehehe: "Uncle, my biggest thing is that my sister is happy, as long as my sister can be happy, it is more important to me than anything else." ”

"Okay, don't pretend here, get down to business, and sit down." Lin Ruhai pointed to the seat opposite him and put on a posture of a long talk.

Jia Lian's face also became serious, Lin Ruhai brought himself here at this time, Jia Lian thought that it could only be for one thing, Jingcha.

"Is the emperor in such a hurry?" Jia Lian thought it was incredible.

Lin Ruhai didn't nod: "If you just want to start Jingcha, it's nothing." But this time, the emperor wanted to use the official department Jingcha to make a knife and do another thing. Lin Ruhai said with some distress.

"What's the matter?" Jia Lian felt a little brain pain, it was okay to have an emperor who could toss so much.

"What does the emperor want to do?"

"The emperor plans to temporarily postpone the time of large-scale Jingcha, but not to trigger it, and to start with the household first. Engage in a targeted Xiaojingcha. ”

"Hiss", Jia Lian felt that he understood what Lin Ruhai meant. Emperor Longzheng planned to use Lin Ruhai's power to control the officials and take back the household department that had been in the hands of Prince Yiping. Of course, Emperor Longzheng must have other followers, and this will be a full-scale collision between the imperial party and the Yiping party.

"That's not right." Jia Lian suddenly felt that something was wrong.

Although Emperor Longzheng was a little impatient, the emperor's basic reason and sensitivity were not lacking. He will not be unaware that the country is in an eventful season, and it is not suitable to launch a full-scale party struggle.

"Is there any movement in the household during this time?" Jia Lian suddenly asked.

Lin Ruhai showed a look of relief on his face, and even a little surprised: "That's right, Sun Cheng of the household department has already begun to recover the arrears of the treasury during this period of time on the grounds that the disaster relief consumes a large amount of silver deposits and the treasury is tight. ”

The expression on Jia Lian's face was a little playful. I remember that in the original book, including the Zhen family, the Jia family, and many other important families in the Red Mansion, an important reason was that after the death of Emperor Taishang a few years later, Emperor Longzheng pursued the arrears of the treasury.

Now, it was actually brought up by Sun Cheng first. Then Emperor Longzheng still wants to do something to the household, I am afraid that the emperor will seize the introduction of Sun Cheng's mouth and force Sun Cheng to really move the knife.

"This is to borrow a knife to kill people. So, uncle, do we want to support Sun Shangshu. Jia Lian was happy.

"That's right, of course we have to support it, the emperor has already said that this time the household department Xiaojingcha, all those who have achieved remarkable results in recovering the arrears of the treasury, excellent, average, medium, and undutiful, poor."

Jia Lian smiled bitterly and shook his head, Emperor Longzheng's imperial methods were becoming more and more sophisticated.

Sun Cheng revealed this tone, I am afraid that he really wants to find a way to recover some of the arrears of the treasury. After all, in the last early dynasty, Sun Cheng was forced into a corner by Emperor Longzheng himself, and had to agree to solve the cost of army expansion.

"During this time, Sun Fatzi was at a loss. I thought of any way, and even took Yiping to Jiuhua Palace, wanting to ask the Emperor Taishang to come forward, and imitate the method of the Yong'an period to encourage big businessmen and others to donate money to solve part of the gap. ”

Jia Lian was happy, and he felt funny when he thought that Sun Cheng had even lost a lot of weight during this time.

As a result, the Emperor Taishang didn't care about it, but gave Sun Cheng a part of the silver from the inner treasury of Jiuhua Palace. But where can that money go? Lin Ruhai also thought of this very famous pleasure.

"Hehe, how can the Emperor Taishang take care of it, the emperor is so generous, it is absolutely impossible to not have the consent of the Emperor, the Emperor Taishang has cooperated very much during this time.

The removal of the Yizhong party from the court was completed in a short period of time with the acquiescence of his old man. ”

Hearing Jia Lian say this, Lin Ruhai immediately said: "It is said that the heart of the Emperor Taishang will not be able to hold on. This time, even the worship in the palace can't do anything, so the Emperor Taishang will cooperate with His Majesty so much during this time. ”

Jia Lian's face turned pale, he believed that Lin Ruhai would never make such a joke.

"When did this happen?"

"It's been more than a year. I don't know the specifics, but Liang Lao definitely knows. This is also one of the purposes for me to come to you, to take your aunt home in the near future, and be sure to find out the true condition of the Emperor's body. ”

"Okay, please rest assured. I'll do it tomorrow. Jia Lian knew that the matter was big, and the body of the Emperor Taishang was related to the lives of many people.

Don't be careless.
