The Red Chamber: The Rise of the Lin Mansion

"tell me the story."

The old slave went to the tribute courtyard in the morning and specifically asked about this matter.I heard that among the three deputy chief examiners, two preferred Zhao Lin to win the club, one supported Lin Yun as the club, and finally the chief examiner Xiao Jing'an supported Lin Yun as the club.

Emperor Zhide: "What is Xiao Qing's reason for insisting?"

Dai Quan: "Lord Xiao thinks that although Lin Yun's articles on classics and righteousness are not as good as Zhao Lin's, the level of policy and theory he writes is much higher than that of Zhao Lin. Master Xiao believes that what is lacking in the country today is good governance, and he strongly supports Lin Yun's Huiyuan,"

Emperor Zhide nodded slightly, and then asked: "Who is the other deputy examiner who supports Lin Yun in winning the title of Huiyuan?"

"It's Peng Yang, the attendant of the Imperial Academy."

After a pause, Dai Quan said again: "Your Majesty, I heard that last night some scholars were discussing the war in the Northwest in Zuixian Tower, and Lin Yun also expressed his point of view."

"Oh!"

Emperor Zhide became interested as soon as he heard this, and he hurriedly asked, "What did he say?"

"Lin Yun said that he summed up the war between the Han Dynasty and the Xiongnu in the Emperor Wu Dynasty, and came to a conclusion, that is, when fighting the Mongolian cavalry, our army of Great Chu should adopt the tactics of defending in autumn and attacking in spring."

"Defend in autumn and attack in spring? I seem to have seen this sentence in the Xining county king's notebook."

After a pause, Emperor Zhide asked again: "Did he explain this tactic in detail?"

"Lin Yun said that the prairie cavalry all have one characteristic, that is, the horses are fat and strong in autumn, which is when they are strongest. Our army, which is mainly infantry, should not compete with them in autumn."

"Spring is the season for mares to conceive, and it is also the time for male horses to lose weight. If you can find the enemy's grazing place at this time, send elite cavalry to attack, and the enemy must be rescued. Take the initiative in the hands of our army. Hu can defeat the enemy in one battle."

Emperor Zhide's eyes lit up when he heard this, and then he smiled bitterly and said: "Although the idea is good, it is a pity that the famous generals in our dynasty are withering away and we lack handsome talents like Wei and Huo."

Dai Quan: "Your Majesty, can you tell the two generals Yue and Wang about Lin Yun's tactics? Ask them to discuss whether it is feasible."

Emperor Zhide: "It won't be too late to make a decision after I ask your uncle."

...

In March of Yangchun, all kinds of flowers are in full bloom in the garden of Fengzao Palace.

Jia Yuanchun walked slowly in the imperial garden, admiring the beautiful scenery in front of him absent-mindedly.Several court ladies followed her step by step, for fear that their master might make a mistake.

Today is the day when the exam will be released. Although Jia Yuanchun is in the harem, he is still concerned about Lin Yun who is participating in this exam.

Her feelings for Lin Yun are very complicated. Uncle Lin impeached her uncle Wang Ziteng for lying about his military achievements, and put her in an embarrassing situation.But uncle and nephew Lin Ruhai was deeply trusted by the emperor, which benefited her a lot in the palace.

One is an uncle, the other is an uncle, and the two elders had a conflict, so she didn't know which one to favor.

What made Jia Yuanchun even more troublesome was that her mother hated Lin Yun deeply, but the old lady liked Lin Yun very much, which made her caught in a dilemma, at a loss as to what to do.

While her thoughts were wandering, she saw Zhou Shenyan running over from the corner of the corridor, and shouted at her beamingly: "Your Majesty, I'm overjoyed, overjoyed. General Lin Shen won the Huiyuan of Jinke."

Jia Yuanchun was taken aback when she heard the words. She had also thought that Lin Yun would be able to win the gold list, but she did not expect that he would win the Huiyuan.

The maids behind were overjoyed when they heard the words, and saluted Jia Yuanchun in unison: "Congratulations, concubine Xian, maidservant!"

At this time, Jia Yuanchun suddenly thought of a sentence her ancestor once said to her, "The descendants of the Jia family can't rely on it, only Lin Yun can be the backing of the baby in her womb."

Thinking of this, she said with a smile to everyone: "My cousin will be the best in the exam, he should be rewarded!"

...

Changchun Palace,

Empress Zhang also received the news that Lin Yun came out on top in the examination and won Huiyuan.

As the master of the harem, Queen Zhang naturally knew who was the greatest threat to her.

Jia Yuanchun's uncle is the minister of military aircraft, and his uncle is a civil servant, and now there is another Huiyuan, which puts him under a lot of pressure.

After sending away the servant who reported the news, Empress Zhang sent the maid Xuan Xia Shouzhong to see her.

Not long after, the chief eunuch Xia Shouzhong stepped in and saluted Empress Zhang: "This old slave pays my respects to the empress."

Empress Zhang raised her hand and said, "You don't need to be too polite, father-in-law."

"Thank you madam."

Empress Zhang waved her hand to send the maids and chamberlains out, and then asked Xia Shouzhong, "Do you know that Lin Ruhai's nephew has won the Huiyuan?"

"The old slave just heard about it."

Empress Zhang: "I heard that Lin Yun Jingyi's level is very average. How did he get the membership? Did someone help him cheat?"

Xia Shouzhong shook his head and said: "After Xiao Jing'an, the chief examiner of this year, came to the capital from Jinling, he only rested in the mansion for one night, and settled in the Gongyuan the next day. It is almost impossible for the Lin family to cheat."

Empress Zhang: "According to what you say, doesn't that Lin Yun have a chance to win the champion?"

Xia Shouzhong: "Returning to Madam, based on His Majesty's appreciation for that kid from the Lin family, this year's champion will most likely fall to him."

Queen Zhang: "Is there a way to stop it?"

Xia Shouzhong thought for a while and said: "If you want to veto His Majesty's wishes, you need Lord Chief Assistant to stop you."

Queen Zhang: "I'll leave this matter to you. Give me a message as soon as possible."

"The old slave respects the order."

Xia Shouzhong bowed and saluted, then turned and left.

...

Rongguo Mansion, Jia Mu went to the room.

Jiamu, Mrs. Xing, Mrs. Wang, Aunt Xue, Sister Feng, Youshi, Li Wan, Baochai, Shi Xiangyun and Sanchun sisters gathered together to chat and wait for the news of the exam.

The reason Mrs. Wang is here is because she has a slight desire to see Lin Yun's jokes.Yesterday she heard from Mr. Zheng that even Lin Ruhai didn't have much faith in Lin Yun High School, so she was sure that Lin Yun would fail and wanted to see a joke.

In the flower hall, everyone had different moods. Mother Jia, Li Wan, Sister Feng and a few little girls all hoped that Lin Yun could go to high school. You Shi and Aunt Xue all came to watch the fun and make the old lady happy. As for whether Lin Yun could High school has nothing to do with them.

While everyone was talking and laughing, they saw the maid Hu Bo running in quickly, smiling at Jia Mu and saying, "Old lady, Second Master Lian is back."

Jia's mother hurriedly asked, "Did Lian'er ever say that Brother Yun is in high school?"

Hu Bo smiled and said, "Second Master said that my nephew has graduated from high school."

"what!"

Several little girls exclaimed in unison. They had all heard Daiyu say at one time or another that Brother Lin was not sure about being in high school this time in the examination. They never expected that Brother Lin would get the first place in the examination.

Jia Mu laughed and said, "Let Lian'er in quickly."

"Yes, old lady."

After a while, Jia Lian followed Hu Bo in and saluted several elders.

Jia's mother: "Lian'er, tell me quickly, has Brother Yun really won the prize?"

Jia Lian said happily: "The grandson saw it with his own eyes, brother Yun won the first place in the meeting."

Everyone smiled when they heard the words, only Mrs. Wang twisted the beads in her hands, feeling very depressed.I wanted to watch a joke, but I was slapped in the face instead.

Among the crowd, Li Wan smiled the most happily. Her son Jia Lan was almost half a disciple of Lin Yun. Now that Lin Yun has won the Huiyuan Award, half of his feet have already entered the Hanlin Academy. Lan'er has such a teacher, as long as she is good If you are good at studying, you will not worry about not having the opportunity to become an official in the future.

Jia's mother said to Yuanyang: "Go back and prepare a congratulatory gift, and let Lian'er send it to Linyuan."

Yuanyang hurriedly said: "Yes, old lady."

Aunt Xue took the opportunity to smile and said: "Since the old lady gave a congratulatory gift, we all have to follow along."

Wang Xifeng smiled and said, "We don't have any money, so we should say something auspicious to Brother Yun and count it as a congratulatory gift."

Mother Jia scolded with a smile: "Well, brother Feng, how much money you brother Yun has earned for you, we don't know what it is when you look at it."

Wang Xifeng said anxiously: "Old ancestor, don't wrong people, my grandson's daughter-in-law is so poor that she is about to become a dowry, so there is no extra silver."

Jia Mu smiled at her granddaughters and asked, "Do you believe what she says?"

"Do not believe."

At this time, the atmosphere in the hall of the main room was extremely harmonious by Jia Mu and Wang Xifeng.

...

In Bisha kitchen,

When Baoyu finished ten posts, he put down the brush in his hand and said happily, "The posts are finally finished."

Xiren came over with a bowl of tea, handed it to Baoyu and said, "Second Lord, drink some tea to quench your thirst."

Baoyu took the tea bowl and asked casually, "How many of them are there? Where have they all gone?"

Xiren: "I was afraid they would disturb your writing, so I sent them out."

Baoyu said dissatisfiedly: "It's unnecessary. It's just a few posts and it won't interfere with me."

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard a commotion outside.

Baoyu hurriedly put down the tea bowl, went out and stopped a little maid and asked, "What happened?"

The little servant girl hurriedly said: "Reporting to Second Master, it is my aunt's nephew who won the prize."

Baoyu waved his hands depressedly and said, "Go play with you."

"Yes."

Baoyu went back to the house and rushed to people: "Fortunately, I didn't go to the flower hall before, so my ears can be quieter."

The attacker persuaded: "Master said, Second Master, you are smarter than your nephew and young master. If you can study hard, you must be~"

"Stop it, even if I die of poverty and starvation, I will not take the imperial examination for that Lao Shizi." After Baoyu finished speaking, he turned and walked out the door.

As soon as he walked outside the door, he saw a woman approaching and saluted him: "Second Master, the servant outside said, Master told you to come over."

Baoyu heard that it was Jia Zheng who called him, so he knew that his father must have been stimulated and wanted to vent his anger on him.

He secretly cried out in his heart: "Brother Lin misunderstood me!"

Chapter 263: Who is behind the scenes

In the late morning, Lin Ruhai returned from Yichen Academy to Linyuan. He had just entered the city when he heard the news that Lin Yun won the first place in the examination.

While Lin Ruhai was pleasantly surprised, he was also secretly curious. He knew Lin Yun's level of classics and meaning very well. He had a good chance of becoming a Jinshi, but it was difficult to get into the top ten, let alone get a Huiyuan.
