Red House Shoufu

Chapter 54 The Emperor's Heart
Daiyu was sent to Youshi, and Jia Jing left Lin Shu to speak.

Lin Shu was able to deal with the matter of Xichun, no matter what the outcome of the Ningguo Mansion was, the Lin family had taken a risk.

The two discussed secretly in the room for a long time, and they did not appear in front of everyone until the luncheon.In the afternoon when Jia Zhen sent the Lin brothers and sisters away, Jia Jing called Jia Zhen and his son into the study to talk.

"I know that you father and son are a little dissatisfied with my courtesy to the brothers and sisters of the Lin family today..."

Jia Zhen and Jia Rong said repeatedly: "Son (grandson) dare not!"

Jia Jing pressed the words behind them, and continued: "Remember, from now on, we should be more courteous and respectful to the Lin family. For the future of Ningguo Mansion, I finally plotted against the Lin family. The matter has brought the relationship with the Lin family closer, and whether you succeed or fail in the future, you will eventually have a way out."

Jia Zhen asked in bewilderment: "Father, it's okay if Uncle Lin is in the Lin family, but now Lin Shu is the only one in their family. Father thinks too much of the Lin family."

"You don't understand, let's not talk about Lin Shu's future, just Lin girl's status in the emperor's heart is enough to make His Majesty show mercy in the future."

Jia Jing didn't explain too much, and Jia Zhen couldn't help but think wildly: Could it be that His Majesty has taken a fancy to his cousin?But Cousin Lin is only a little older, and although she looks alluring, she is too young.

……

The brother and sister who returned to the Lin Mansion did not go to rest, but sat in the study and talked about today's events.

Daiyu said, "Brother, is it really okay for us to do this?"

Seeing Daiyu's uneasy look, Lin Shu explained to her why he did so.

"Today's matter, the two of us were actually used by the Ningguo Mansion, but I was also using them. The Ningguo Mansion took advantage of our sympathy and staged a show for His Majesty. And I was using the Ningguo Mansion to play A play that emphasizes love and righteousness for others to see."

In fact, both Jia Jing and Lin Shu were aware of the calculations of the two parties, but what he didn't know was that Lin Shu had even bigger calculations.

After the palace examination, at most Lin Shu could get the post of editor of the Imperial Academy.Although Hanlin was known as the prime minister, Lin Shu, a sixth-rank official, had little chance to hold power for a long time.

According to the calculation of the time in the original book, Jia Yuanchun has already been named concubine, so the next step is for the concubine to visit relatives.The overlord, the emperor, Prince Yizhong and King Zhongxin who are determined to seize the throne, and the forces behind them will have a fierce struggle.

Lin Shu wanted to avoid it, but the Lin family had long been regarded as an inevitable target by King Zhongxin, who was supported by Jiangnan forces, and he dared not bet that Gao Yongyi would ignore him.

Since you can't avoid it, you have to get involved.Only by letting the emperor see his own value in order to achieve a high position in a short period of time can he have the right to become a chess player.

Rongguo Mansion already has Jia Lian, so Ningguo Mansion needs to make good use of it, for example, the power and wealth left by the former prince.

Jia Jing expected everything to be perfect, but he ignored one point. Will Jia Zhen and Jia Rong completely listen to the command of a man who has cultivated for many years, and will they really follow him to change schools?
Just one Qin Keqing is enough for Jia Zhen and Jia Rong to part ways. If there is no internal unity, how can Jia Jing's plan be implemented smoothly.

But he didn't tell Daiyu about these things, he explained his plan with the excuse of seeking a good reputation, and calmed Daiyu's uneasiness.

"Don't worry, this matter is actually nothing. Our family is involved in it, and we always have to face these disturbances."

Daiyu nodded obediently, and the siblings changed the topic to the examination.

When Nanny Zhang heard the news, she frowned slightly, and wanted to persuade Lin Shu, but got a letter from Lin Shu.

She wrote this matter in a letter, and secretly sent it to the palace together with Lin Shu's letter, and the Lin family returned to its former peace.

……

In the Hall of Qinzheng, Gao Yongheng was still buried in the memorial as before.

"My lord, Aunt Zhang has sent two secret letters." Xia Shouzhong presented the letter, and Gao Yongheng opened Madam Zhang's letter first.

"How courageous, how could this Lin Shu be so ignorant, how dare he get involved in the affairs of the Ningguo Mansion?"

Xia Shouzhong heard the emperor curse, and then saw the emperor opened Lin Shu's letter.

I only heard the emperor muttering to himself thoughtfully: "There is a way, if you can control the Ningguo Mansion, then..."

Gao Yongheng put down the letter and looked at Xia Shouzhong: "Ban, is there any news from Ping'an Prefecture recently?"

Xia Shouzhong thought about it for a while, and it seems that there has been no useful news from Pingan Prefecture for more than a year.

He replied: "My lord, there has been no news from Ping'an Prefecture for a long time, maybe there is nothing wrong there for the time being."

Gao Yongheng shook his head: "No, Ping'an Prefecture is located on the main road leading to the Western Regions. The Tatars in the north have been coveting Ping'an Prefecture. There are many conflicts with our court. How can nothing happen?"

He got up and looked at Da Chu Yutu behind him, and began to think about what Lin Shuxin had mentioned.

It turned out that Lin Shu made a suggestion to the emperor based on the secret discussion with Jia Jing today and the huge power of the Jia family in Ping'an Prefecture in the original book.

Qi Wenhua, the king of Xining County, who is in charge of the Western Regions, holds an army of [-], and is now the party that all the major forces in the capital want to win over.

And Ping'an Prefecture is the only way from the Central Plains to the Western Regions. Whoever can control Ping'an Prefecture will be close to the water and become the person who has the best chance to win the loyalty of the Xining County Prince's Mansion.

The two brothers Jia Daihua and Jia Daishan have been guarding Ping'an Prefecture for many years, which makes Jia's two houses have great prestige in Ping'an Prefecture.

Another point is that after the former prince committed suicide, most of his loyal forces were hidden in Ping'an Prefecture.Perhaps it is possible to use the Ningguo Mansion and treat Qin Keqing kindly, so that this group of people can be used by oneself, killing two birds with one stone is not impossible.

The more the emperor thought about it, the more he felt that this matter had a high chance of success. The corner of his mouth raised slightly, and he said to himself: "Lin Shu, Lin Jinyu, you are really a lucky general. Not only helped me conquer the Rongguo Mansion, but now the Ningguo Mansion is also I came to the door by myself..."

Xia Shouzhong, who was waiting next to him, thought to himself, this Lin Shu is really in the heart of the emperor.He clearly heard the emperor scold him just now, but now he actually gave him the title of Fu Jiang.

……

The Lin family received a reward from the palace on the second day. The emperor rewarded the county magistrate of Rongjia with a piano, ten pieces of tribute satin, and some imperial desserts.

At the same time, a pair of the emperor's imperial brush was also sent to the Lin family, with only one word on it: Wu!

When Lin Shu saw this word, he knew that the emperor had agreed to his plan. Taking Ping'an Prefecture and winning over the Xining County King who had an army of [-] troops was to gain military support for the emperor.

As for how to cut down the vassal in the future, that is a matter for the future, let's solve the two serious problems in the capital first.
