Sword of the Red Chamber from Heaven

Chapter 189 Chaotang duet, flower boat anecdote

The story of Jinling, after two days of fermentation, finally spread to the world.

Early this morning, someone took the opportunity to make trouble.

"Show it to the emperor, if you have something to do, let me play it!"

The person who spoke was the inspector censor of the Inspectorate, named Lu Linsheng, who was a Jinshi during the Taikang period, and Fan Yuanhe was his teacher.

All the princes and ministers in the court hall, civil and military officials, saw Lu Linsheng standing up, and their eyes were a little strange for a while. Fan Zaifu is planning to make a move?

Emperor Mingkang stood up from the dragon chair, condescending, he could see the movements of the officials below him at a glance, and he also guessed some of them when he watched the people whispering to each other.

"Tell me~"

Lu Linsheng paid a respectful salute, and then said heartbrokenly: "My minister wants to join the champion Hou Jiagong. First, the champion marquis has not received the emperor's order, so he privately transfers troops and horses, and has no eyes on the emperor. This is a great crime! Second, the champion marquis Abandoning duty without permission, actually going south to Jinling, neglecting duty, and vainly caring about the holy grace, this is the second crime, and third, the Daxue Dragon cavalry attacked the city and broke through the pass along the way, causing many casualties. , Murder to pay for life, debt to pay back money, these three crimes, should have been sentenced to death, but considering Jia Gong’s meritorious service in defending the frontier, I request that Jia Gong be deprived of the title of champion marquis and demoted to a common man, so as to serve as an example!!”

As soon as this remark came out, the entire court hall was silent as if someone had been pinched by the neck suddenly. Looking at Lu Linsheng in the field, it was like seeing some fool.

Still sentenced to capital punishment?This is crazy? ?Not to mention whether Champion Hou did this or not, even if he did, Emperor Mingkang would probably just turn a blind eye at this time, and at most he would just stop him!
Even Fan Yuanhe, who was at the forefront of the civil service team, was a little confused. He just said to his fans that he could take the opportunity to provoke the relationship between the champion and the emperor, but he didn't say that.

A few days ago, Jia Gong repelled the rebels of the White Lotus Sect, saved the capital from fire and water, and preserved the face of the two saints. At this juncture, Lu Lin was born this way? ?He wondered if Lu Linsheng had been foolish in the Inspectorate.

Emperor Mingkang stood in front of the imperial case, looking at Lu Linsheng below, with no expression on his face, neither angry nor joyful.

To be honest, he is actually a little afraid of Jia Jun now, more precisely, he is a little afraid of the combat power of the big snow dragon rider in Jia Jun's hand. The [-] people in Jizhou Town did not block the [-] people. Interestingly, doesn't this Daming Palace say that it can be beaten.

Jia Gong's sword was so sharp that he was a little scared. After a long time, Emperor Mingkang said: "The official Lu Linsheng deceived the king, indiscriminately, and slandered the current prince. Beheaded at the Meridian Gate for public display!"

Emperor Mingkang's golden words shocked all the officials, what does Emperor Mingkang mean by this? ?Lu Linsheng was also taken aback. Their censors had the right to join in the wind. Now that Daxuelong rode down to the south of the Yangtze River, this is an established fact. Although there is a reason for the incident, it is not a reason to privately transfer the army.

"Your majesty!!! The humble minister is not convinced!! The champion marquis sent troops to the south of the Yangtze River today, how could he know that he would not be able to send troops to Beijing tomorrow!! He used his power to bully others, beat the court officials with his merits, and even killed the governor of Shuntian Prefecture in the capital privately, It is clear that I have rebelled a long time ago, it does not matter if the minister dies, what matters is that my Dakang has such an ambitious person, it is not my Dakang's blessing!!"

Looking at Lu Linsheng, who looked at death like home, many people felt a little bit sad, not to mention whether the other party was sincerely thinking about the emperor, this courage is worthy of their admiration.

At this moment, another official came out, it was Lin Ruhai, the cabinet minister, and he cupped his hands and said, "I want to play the emperor, I have something to play!"

Hearing this, Emperor Mingkang temporarily turned his eyes away from Lu Linsheng, and looked at Lin Ruhai again.

"What's the matter with Lin Aiqing~"

Lin Ruhai cupped his hands and replied respectfully, "It's also about Jinling!"

"In the final analysis, the Jinling incident is a matter of whether the Zhen family has colluded with the White Lotus Sect and intends to rebel. May I ask all the lords present, if we find out that someone is colluding with the White Lotus Sect and intends to rebel, we happen to be in Jinling at the moment, we How should it be done?"

"The Jinling Zhen family has been favored by the emperor. After traveling to the south of the Yangtze River several times, the Zhen family's influence in the south of the Yangtze River has gradually grown, and even spread the nickname of the King of Jiangnan in Jinling!"

"Champion Hou appeared in Jinling, just happened to encounter this incident. Don't you think it's right for the champion to pretend not to see it?? Or should we calm down the matter as quickly as possible to save Dakang's face? Is that correct? The Zhen family has been favored by the emperor, it is a matter of the face of the royal family, it is a matter of the face of Dakang, and it cannot be sloppy at all~"

"And Champion Hou doesn't have any other troops in his hands, only the Great Snow Dragon Cavalry Army. In a crisis, should we use it or not? If we send someone to notify the court, will the White Lotus Sect rebels know the news in advance? Need to pay attention!!"

"That's why Champion Hou mobilized the Snow Dragon Cavalry Army and never reported it. I suspect that there should be such a reason, but in the end he didn't hide it, and was exposed by someone with a heart. Compared with Champion Hou, this person is probably more malicious~ "

"Master Lu, as the censor, certainly has the right to participate in the performance, but he should look at things more comprehensively. Why don't you put yourself in your shoes and think about the cause and effect of things, but you only know how to catch wind and shadow, and you can decide people with just a few words. Merits and demerits are right and wrong, it’s only a few days’ work, why not wait for the matter to be clear before discussing what is right and what is wrong?”

"That's why I believe that the merits and demerits of the Jinling incident can be discussed after the champion Hou returns to Beijing. If it is investigated that the Zhen family in Jinling is colluding with the White Lotus Sect, harboring evil intentions, and intending to rebel, then the champion Hou's actions are due to Jiangshan Sheji. The credit must be greater than the demerit, and if the Jinling Zhen family had never colluded with the White Lotus Sect, and the champion marquis privately mobilized the army just to bully others, then even if the champion marquis has contributed to the country, I will secretly think that he should be punished severely!"

Hearing Lin Ruhai's words, Emperor Mingkang took a deep look at him first. He knew about the enmity between the Zhen family and Lin Ruhai. What Lin Ruhai said this time seemed fair, but in fact he was partial. Bully? ?He didn't believe it himself when he said this, something must have happened, and that bastard Jia Gong would transfer troops.

The Zhen family's influence in the south of the Yangtze River has become an unstoppable trend, and he is well aware of the Jiangnan king's affairs, and it was in his budget to clean up the Zhen family.

The Zhen family can be regarded as the power of the Supreme Emperor, even if there is no matter about the White Lotus Sect, he does not intend to let the other party go, but Jia Gong's actions this time violated a taboo, and after all, Emperor Mingkang had a knot in his heart.

Afterwards, Emperor Mingkang heard Lin Ruhai say that the only ones Jia Gong could mobilize were the five thousand snow dragon riders. In fact, he was a little relieved that there were only five thousand people. He knew exactly how many five thousand people were there. There are five thousand people in the Royal Forest Army.

Five thousand people is a lot, but in front of the tens of thousands and hundreds of thousands of frontier troops, it is not even a fraction.

There are not only four to five hundred servants in the adults' homes in the capital, even a few princes' private soldiers have thousands of people!In this way, those people in Jia Jun's hands are really not that many, but the fighting power is a bit scary.

When everyone heard Lin Ruhai's analysis, they couldn't help whispering, and started discussing again. It has to be said that Lin Ruhai's words hit the nail on the head, and even Fan Yuanhe couldn't say anything more for the time being. If the Zhen family really wanted to rebel, But Jia Gong was suppressing the rebellion at this time, but they were discussing how to convict people, and it was true that there was no distinction between right and wrong.

"What Lin Aiqing said is very much in line with my wishes. As for Yushi Lu Linsheng, I will temporarily put her in prison and wait for the matter to be clarified before sentencing! Whether it is life or death, I will let you be a fool!"

"As for the matter of the Zhen family in Jinling, is there any lover who is willing to go through it and find out for me?"

Jinling, on the Qinhuai River, even in the cold winter, the place is still very lively, with people coming and going.

On an exquisite flower boat, there is a girl with a very beautiful appearance. She flicks her ten fingers, and the lyre makes a pleasant sound.

After finishing the song, the girl got up and gave a blessing, and said softly: "Young master, is this song from my family still in your ears?"

There was a man and a woman sitting opposite, the man was suave and imposing, and beside him was a little girl with a little rouge between her brows, but the little girl looked a little reserved, and she had been holding the young man's arm since just now.

Hearing the girl's words, the young man said with a smile: "Not bad! Not bad! It is said that the ladies on the Qinhuai River are talented. I heard the girl's song today, so I know what I said is true!!"

Hearing the young man's words, the girl who played the piano blushed. A veteran who was used to such occasions, today felt that the other party's compliment was particularly touching.

"My lord, I've won the prize! In fact, my family's piano skills are not the best in Jinling. I heard that Shuangshuang, an oiran lady in Xunfanglou, is a master of art! In the words of you scholars, the lingering sound is lingering, three I don’t know the taste of meat~”

But as she was talking, the girl seemed to have remembered something, and her delicate face suddenly turned extremely crimson, instantly touching.

The little girl on the side looked at the woman in front of her with a little surprise in her eyes. What is going on with this person? ?The uncle didn't say anything, and he blushed as soon as he said it, he was not as good as her!
The young man smiled and said, "How do you know I'm a scholar?? Could it be that only scholars come to this kind of place?"

The girl was taken aback by the question, her beautiful eyes flickered twice, and she carefully looked at the man in front of her. Although it was not the same as the men she usually saw, there was indeed a bookish air about him.

Then she covered her mouth with a chuckle and said, "Isn't it??"

The young man smiled, "Girl has a good eye, I have indeed read a lot of books, it's just later~ That's hard to describe~"

Hearing this, the girl stood up, picked up the jug on the table, walked over lightly with lotus steps, and said with a smile: "It seems that the young master is still a person with a story. If the young master does not give up, the slave family is willing Solve your worries and problems for the young master~"

Maybe the person in front of me was wearing a little revealing clothes, but after taking two steps, his chest rose and fell, making people unable to move their eyes away. This made the little girl who had been sitting next to the young man unable to sit still. Back then, there was an old woman Mama taught her not to let dubious people get close to the young master, she stepped in front of the young master and said angrily, "What are you going to do, go away~"

Hearing the little girl's words, the lady of the flower boat froze, a little embarrassed, whether she was advancing or retreating.

As soon as the young man turned his hand, he pulled the little girl behind him again, scratched her little nose lightly, and said with a smile: "It's okay, the girl just sit there, you don't have to come here~"

The woman on the flower boat showed mourning, but she didn't dare to say anything more, she had no choice but to sit back in her seat again, at this moment, there was a sudden noise from outside the boat.

While the flower boat lady was still wondering what was going on, the young man sighed softly: "I finally found it~"
