Red House Shoufu

Chapter 388 The Prince's Invitation to Nanchifang Suddenly Encountered a Conflict and Disturbs a Beautiful Woman

The Confucian family in Qufu is a family with a history of thousands of years.

As the dynasties changed, the status of the Kong family had always been as stable as Mount Tai.The imperial conferments on Confucius have never stopped in the past dynasties, and the rewards to the Confucian family in Qufu are even more outstanding in the world.

It is no exaggeration to say that the surname of Kong is Kong in the whole of Qufu. There is an endless stream of scholars who go to the Confucius Temple in Qufu every year.The talisman of descendants of saints made the Kong family almost stand in a natural invincible position.

Regardless of whether the Nanzhili case had anything to do with the Kong family or not, Lin Shu was worried that Prince Gao Wancheng's reputation among civil servants would be affected because of conflicts with the Kong family.

The emperor understood what Lin Shu said, and so did Gao Wancheng.The emperor looked at the stubborn prince and hesitated in his heart.

"I need to think about this matter carefully..."

"Father..."

Gao Wancheng was firm and wanted to make another request, but he heard the emperor say: "The Kong family is no different than others. It is really not suitable to move lightly without being very sure. Lin Qing is right, not only because of the undecided reason for Jiangnan, You are the prince, if the reputation of the prince is damaged in the officialdom, your road will be very difficult in the future."

The emperor was deeply touched by this. At the beginning of his ascension to the throne, because of his reputation of being mean and ungrateful, every step he took, he would receive all kinds of criticism from the court, officials, and common people.It wasn't until he slowly gathered Chaozhong Qingliu's loyalty that he had the ability to fight back.

The crown prince may not understand it, but Lin Shu understands that this is the importance of public opinion.Power can be suppressed for a while, and only by controlling public opinion can subtly make the ruling power more stable.

The first emperor has been one emperor through the ages, but scholars of all dynasties, even if they appreciate it in their hearts, will say a tyrannical king when discussing the emperor's bright ministers.Who wrote the history books?Scholars, if scholars don't recognize you as an emperor, will your reputation in history books be good in the future?

"Let your ninth uncle..."

The emperor just wanted to tell Zhongshun Wang Gao Yongheng to go there, but considering his temperament, he was really not suitable for dealing with the Kong family.

Finally remembered what happened at the clan banquet yesterday, and said to Xia Shouzhong, who was serving at the side: "Big Companion, you go to Longshou Palace and let Prince Yizhong come over."

……

The autumn chrysanthemums in Lin's mansion were gradually withering. A gust of wind blew and the petals fell. Snow geese put a cloak on Daiyu who was lying on the window edge.

Since she came back from Xishan yesterday, Daiyu has been in a daze quietly from time to time, and blushed from time to time.For example, at this time, Daiyu was staring blankly at the dead leaves falling outside the window, and touched the earring with the hand propping her chin.

Xueyan recognized the pair of earrings, made of rubies, a gift from His Royal Highness His Royal Highness to the girl.

"Xueyan, what time is it?"

Daiyu suddenly seemed to remember something, and suddenly asked a question.

Xueyan replied: "It should be the end of the day, just now Wang Mama told the servants that Uncle Jiu just sent the uncle's lunch to the yamen."

Daiyu jumped up subconsciously when she heard this, and the cloak on her body fell to the ground.

She urged Xueyan in a panic: "Hurry up, help me comb my hair, the carriage from the palace is coming soon."

It turned out that she made an appointment with Gao Wanjiang yesterday, and today she went to Nanchi to listen to an opera.At the end of the day, Gao Wanjiang will come to pick him up in person, and after lunch at Nanchi Restaurant, he will go to the opera garden opened by Prince Zhongshun's mansion.

While helping Daiyu comb her hair, Xueyan said: "The servants are guarding at the front door. If His Royal Highness comes, someone will report..."

Just as she was talking, Wang Momo walked in.She put the Su Jinru skirt she held in her hand on the bed, and said to the two of them, "Girl, let's wear this one today. It's thicker. It's very cold in autumn, so I can't catch the cold. I'll ask someone to wear a thicker one." Cloaks are worn."

"Mommy, but the prince has arrived?"

Daiyu turned her head to look at Nanny Wang, who smiled and said, "Master Liu is waiting in the front hall, we will go there when the girl is ready."

"Where is Seventh Brother? Isn't Seventh Brother at home today?"

The Lin family is not just two brothers and sisters, Lin Bai and Lin Feng are both at home, and third uncle Lin Jin is also in charge of the Lin family.When Lin Shu was not at home, if a foreign visitor came, there would always be a suitable person to entertain him.

Tomorrow the Lin Mansion will hold a Marquis He banquet, the Lin family will be idle except for Daiyu, Lin Bai and Lin Feng are busy at home.

During breakfast in the morning, Daiyu also said that she is the only idler at home now, and she eats free rice...

"Qi Ye's classmate came to Beijing from Gusu to prepare for the exam in advance, and just sent a letter from the Nanzhili Guild Hall, inviting Qi Ye to come over. Seven grandma said, let the girl not have to worry about her family, everything has been prepared, let the girl play to her heart's content That's right."

Wang Momo changed Daiyu into a skirt and tied a purple cloak, looked up and down without any mistakes, and then nodded in reassurance.

"Nurse, how are you doing?" Daiyu turned around briskly, begging for a compliment.

Wang Momo smiled and praised: "My girl is peerless and beautiful, His Royal Highness has cultivated a great fortune in his previous life, and this marriage is only possible in this life!"

Daiyu was her eldest child. For Wang Momo, she hadn't worried much about her son Wang Lun since he was free-range.But Daiyu is no different from her own daughter, and she is the kind who is afraid of melting in her hands.

In Wang Momo's heart, regardless of Gao Wanjiang's high status, if he can marry Daiyu, that is a high marriage!

When Daiyu came to the front hall, Gao Wanjiang was talking with Lin Bai about the next spring.Although Lin Bo didn't have amazing talents, he had a solid grasp of the scriptures, and it was obviously carefully cultivated by the Lin family, and he knew the way of people's livelihood and economy very well.

Gao Wanjiang is a well-known talent in the capital. Not only is he good at poetry, but he is also very concerned about the people's livelihood in the world. He just chatted with Lin Bo for a while, and while he was shocked by the origins of the Lin family's family, he already had Lin Bo's love in his heart. idea.

"Sixth Brother, His Royal Highness, His Royal Highness!"

Daiyu greeted the two people in the hall with a salute.

Before Lin Bo could say anything, Gao Wanjiang stood up and replied after hearing Daiyu's voice: "Sister Lin is well, it's cold today, sister Lin should wear more thick clothes..."

Even though Daiyu was obviously wearing very thick clothes, in Gao Wanjiang's eyes, he still felt that his fiancée would be easily damaged by freezing.

Daiyu raised her sleeves: "I was wearing very thick clothes, and my mother almost turned out my winter clothes."

Seeing that Gao Wanjiang cared so much about Daiyu, Lin Bo smiled with relief, "Nurse Wang has always been safe in her work."

"Yu'er, since His Royal Highness is here to invite you, you should go out and have a good time. You have been busy with family affairs these days, and you haven't had a good time to relax."

With Lin Bai's words, Gao Wanjiang suppressed the joy in his heart, and thanked Lin Bai secretly.Afterwards, the two of them were escorted by Lin Bo to the gate, boarded the carriage of Prince Zhongshun, and left Huanghuafang slowly.

The Double Ninth Festival had just passed, and as the weather gradually turned colder, there were more people on the street.

The autumn planting is over, and the people in Gyeonggi have more leisure time.Those with better family backgrounds wanted to visit the capital, while others thought that they would find a part-time job in the capital to earn some money to support their family when they had free time.

Daiyu lifted the curtain of the car window to look at the situation outside the car secretly.Gao Wanjiang asked: "Sister Lin doesn't go out often?"

"That's not true. When I was in my hometown in Gusu, my brother often took me out to relax. I followed my brother to walk around inside and outside the city."

Daiyu recalled that she followed her elder brother Lin Shu to eat all the way from the east of Suzhou City to the west of the city, and then strolled from the south to the north of the city. Life at that time was really relaxed and comfortable.

She briefly told Gao Wanjiang about her experience in her hometown in Suzhou, and finally sighed softly: "Since I came to Beijing, although my brother also wanted to take me around, there is no need for Gusu in this capital city. There are some things I can't do." Don't worry about it. And my brother is now an official in the court, so he doesn't have much free time..."

"I'm idle. From now on, I will take Sister Lin to travel around the capital... No, I can accompany Sister Lin to the whole world."

Gao Wanjiang almost swears on his chest, he is not a courtier, and he has a lot of free time on weekdays.In the past, he often had to worry about his father's affairs, but since the emperor's uncle arranged an errand for his father, there was nothing else to do.

He excitedly said to Daiyu: "I will take you to hunt on horseback when Iron Net Mountain is winter hunting in a few days..."

"The prince also likes hunting?"

Daiyu was attracted by the topic of winter hunting in Iron Net Mountain. Iron Net Mountain is the royal hunting ground. Every year in early winter, the emperor would lead civil and military officials and children from various families to winter hunting. Firstly, to relax and secondly, to watch See if there are any amazing talents among the children of each family.

Jia Lian was able to rise four years ago, in addition to bribing Xia Shouzhong, another point is that during the winter hunting, he won the first prize in one fell swoop and caught the emperor's eyes.

The Lin family is also the family of Liehou. If Daiyu hadn't been in poor health when she was young, she might have become a heroic girl.But after all, she is the daughter of the Lin family, and she has dreamed of a female general several times.

When Gao Wanjiang saw Daiyu's eyes glowing, he knew that it was the nature that attracted Daiyu. He was secretly happy, and quickly told her about his previous winter hunting experience.

The royal guard who was driving the carriage listened to the exaggerated narration of his eldest son in the carriage, suppressed his smile and drove the carriage forward steadily.Until Nanchifang City arrived, the guards parked the carriage in front of a restaurant.

"Your Highness, it's time to return to Yan Tower!"

……

Huiyan Tower is a restaurant that specializes in Jiangnan cuisine. The owner behind the restaurant is none other than the fourth younger brother of the Supreme Emperor, King Gao Yongtai of Yue.

The private room on the third floor has been prepared long ago, so Gao Wanjiang invited Daiyu upstairs to have dinner in the private room.

Before the food was served, the two continued their conversation while drinking tea.At this time, there was a sudden sound of dishes falling outside the private room, followed by a burst of noise.

Gao Wanjiang's hearing is excellent, and he faintly heard words such as fame, state government and so on.

"Sister, sit down, I'll go out and have a look..."

Bang!
Before Gao Wanjiang finished speaking, a big hole was broken in the door of the private room, and a person flew in from the outside, clutching his chest and falling to the ground.

"Your Highness forgive me, it's because my subordinates failed to stop me!"

When Gao Wanjiang went out, his own soldiers would naturally bring them with him.Originally thinking that it was his uncle's base, he only brought two people to guard the gate, but unexpectedly this disturbed Daiyu.

The personal guard was about to step forward to carry the person away, but Daiyu covered her mouth in surprise and looked at a person outside the private room.Daiyu exclaimed: "Seventh Brother...it's Seventh Brother!"

"Seventh brother? Lin Feng?"

Gao Wanjiang naturally knew who the Seventh Brother Daiyu was talking about, and almost all the information about the Lin family in Zhongshun Palace was clear.Lin Feng, who ranks seventh in the wooden generation, is in his early twenties and has achieved great fame.He has a bold and unrestrained personality, with a Taibai style.

He followed Daiyu's line of sight, and saw that Lin Feng in a Confucian shirt was indeed outside the private room, but at this moment, Lin Feng was no longer the handsome young man he used to be, and was being held around his neck by a strong man with a knife.

"Fan Wu, save people!"

After hearing Gao Wanjiang's order, the guard guarding the door immediately drew a knife and stepped forward: "His Royal Highness Prince Zhongshun is here, who dares to be presumptuous!"

It would be a fool to have an identity but not to use it. There are not many people in this capital who have the courage to confront the Zhongshun Palace. According to Fan Wu's idea, this matter should be resolved soon if he reveals the identity of the Zhongshun Palace.

He pointed the blade forward and shouted angrily: "Hurry up and let Lin Qiye go..."

Unexpectedly, the person holding the knife on Lin Feng's neck was not a good person, he continued to press the knife on Lin Feng's neck, and looked at the people in the private room along the destroyed door.

Gao Wanjiang, who looked like a gentleman in brocade clothes, was ignored by him, and he looked at Daiyu by the window who was staring at him and Lin Feng with wide eyes in horror.

The way this man looked at Daiyu made Gao Wanjiang very uncomfortable. He moved slightly and stood in front of Daiyu, with a frosty face, and angrily scolded: "Presumptuous! Let him go!"

Gao Wanjiang blocked the beauty's figure, although this person was dissatisfied, but it did not show on his face.Concerned about Gao Wanjiang's identity, he took back the knife he was holding and threw it to the servant behind him.

"It turned out to be His Royal Highness, someone was rude!"

The man smiled and walked towards the private room, Fan Wu blocked his way forward: "Where the nobleman is, don't be presumptuous! Stop!"

"There are so many rules in the palace, it seems that someone can't get into the eyes of His Royal Highness!"

Being stopped by Fan Wu, the man chuckled, cupped his hands and said to Gao Wanjiang: "A certain Qufu Kong Lingcheng, I have seen His Royal Highness... and this girl!"

"court death!"

"presumptuous!"

First, Lin Feng shouted angrily, followed by Gao Wanjiang's scolding.

Daiyu's status in the Lin family is almost equal to that of Lin Shu, and among the elder brothers of the wooden family, who doesn't feel sorry for this younger sister.Kong Lingcheng's frivolous behavior completely enraged Lin Feng, who was already full of anger. If it wasn't for the pull of his friends, he would definitely fight the other party desperately.

Gao Wanjiang quietly made a reassuring gesture with Daiyu behind him, and glared at Kong Lingcheng.He only heard him ask in a cold voice: "Lingzi generation? Who are you, Kong Renxuan?"

"It's my father!"

Kong Lingcheng seemed to be very proud of Gao Wanjiang's mention of his father, because his father was his confidence to be so arrogant, and he didn't even pay much attention to the Zhongshun Palace.

Because his father is the next generation of Yan Shenggong, and he is the eldest son and grandson of Yan Shenggong's mansion, and the successor of Yan Shenggong.

Although the Confucius family in Qufu is only a prince of the government, their status is not much worse than that of ordinary princes and county kings.

And which emperor can leave the support of the Confucius family in Qufu?Didn't Emperor Hongwu, such a powerful emperor, bow his head to the Kong family in the end?Zhongshun Palace?So what?

　Thank you Ye Ye Xinxin, Yimeng into Jiangnan for your reward.
