The splendor of the red mansion

Chapter 277
"I still want to see the teacher."

"A joke." Lin Ruhai said calmly.Yinyu was taken aback for a moment, a little too late to react, and said, "A joke?" How could such a big matter as the crown prince of the country be a joke?

Lin Ruhai said with a smile: "Ten princes, tell me which of the princes or new emperors of the past dynasties was really selected by the courtiers based on your booklets and mine? Let's not talk about it, just say that I am Emperor Taizong Wen, Emperor Shizuzhang, and the present day. Was that selected by the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty?" Yin Ni was silent, although Taizong, Shizu and Huang Ama had other choices for succession, but that was a matter of the clan and had nothing to do with the courtiers .As for the second brother of the prince, it was completely arbitrary by the emperor Ama Gangang, and he became the prince shortly after he was born.Could it be that this made the eighth brother and the ninth brother full of confidence, and it was really a joke to elect the prince with all their efforts?Yin Qu swallowed with some difficulty, and said, "Then... Master Lin, what will happen?" Yin Qu didn't make it clear, but Lin Ruhai naturally understood what he wanted to ask.Lin Ruhai thought for a while, and sighed with regret, "Years of hard work are ruined." He didn't say that in Kangxi's heart, Yinhu had no chance of becoming a leader.The emperor's mind is difficult to figure out, but one thing is certain.When you look pleasing to the eye, whatever you do is right.Once you touch its reverse scale, everything you do in the future will be wrong!

Yinyu's heart was shocked, and he said: "Myna... Myna is indeed very talented and has the hearts of ministers. What is there to be dissatisfied with Huang Ama?" Compared to the complaining prince, myna is definitely a better choice, isn't it?
Lin Ruhai shook his head and sighed: "Extraordinary talent? Forgive me for a word of transgression. There are so many elder brothers in the emperor, and there are not a few with extraordinary talents. If nothing else, let's talk about the second elder brother in Xian'an Palace. Crown Prince Rui Zhi Qiyi, profound knowledge, the celebration of Shizong Society's ten thousand years without boundaries. The crown prince is intelligent, wise and knowledgeable, the emperor still personally teaches, but the law of the holy ancestor Shenzong's family is followed, and the subtlety of the life of heaven and man is the study , as well as the Five Classics, Zhushi, Ruifa, Riding and Archery are inexhaustible and comprehensive, and they are brilliant." Lin Ruhai calmly read out the words that the courtiers praised the prince back then, looked at Yinyu and said: "Didn't the prince's highness have extraordinary talents? Now So what? The crown prince has failed, why does Elder Brother Ten think it is?"

Yin Qu was speechless, he was not good at court disputes.In fact, until now he didn't understand how the second brother made himself into that way, he only knew that he probably had something to do with these brothers.

Lin Ruhai said: "Brother Shi's thoughts and talents are no longer in court. Some things don't matter. It's Brother Shi's mother's family, the Niu Gulu family... I'm afraid I can't get away with it this time."

Hearing this, Yinji frowned and said, "The Niu Gulu family has not..."

Lin Ruhai laughed and said: "Is there any greater contribution in this world than the merit of support? According to what I've said below, Lord Alinga has very close contacts with the eighth and ninth elder brothers. If the tenth elder brother doesn't believe it, this time You can see the result when you return to Beijing." Yin Qu frowned and looked at Lin Ruhai suspiciously.Originally, he came to ask for advice, but now he felt that Lin Ruhai was waiting for him to ask for advice, "Master Lin..." Could it be that Lin Ruhai wanted to win Niu Gulu's family to help his fourth brother?His thoughts were clearly visible in Lin Ruhai's eyes. Lin Ruhai shook his head and said, "Brother Shi is thinking too much. Brother Shi might as well tell Niu Gulu's family. Niu Gulu's family is extremely rich. The emperor likes pure minister."

"Why is Master Lin like this?" Yin Qu was puzzled.Why did Lin Ruhai help Niu Gulushi?

Lin Ruhai said indifferently: "The founding of this dynasty, Niu Gulu's military achievements are the most prosperous. There is no family in the Eight Banners of Manchuria that can surpass it. I just hope that the iron-blooded family of the Qing Dynasty will not be lost in the court disputes."

God's will is always difficult to ask, one wrong move, wind and thunder gusts in the capital, and more than half of the houses of the Eight Banners dignitaries were lost.The founding meritorious families like the Niu Gulu family and the Tong Jia family have a profound foundation and a thriving population that can still support them with all their strength.People like the Nala family were originally emerging dignitaries, and they had been suppressed by Kangxi a few years ago, so they had to wither instantly, and the atmosphere in Sijiu City was full of panic.It wasn't until finally that Kangxi decreed that only the chief culprit should be punished, and the rest should be left alone, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief.As for the dozens of officials who were cannon fodder, they naturally ignored them and thought they were unlucky.Within a few days, Kangxi once again decreed that Jinnibilong's fourth son, Niu Gulu's Yin De, would be the minister of the guards, and Tong Guowei's sixth son, Long Keduo, would be the admiral of the nine gates.It was even more confusing for a while.

No matter how terrified people are in the capital, Daiyu is in a very good mood at this moment.At the post station on the outskirts of the capital, Yinzhen and Daiyu waited impatiently with Hong Yao and Hong Yan.Originally, Hong Yao lived in the palace, but Kangxi was in a bad mood these days, and many of the courtiers implicated were the natal families of concubines in the harem, and the palace was also miserable.Daiyu used the excuse that Lin Ruhai was coming back and wanted her father to see her grandson and begged the Queen Mother to let Hong Yao come back for a few days.Seeing Lin Ruhai was naturally a reason, and in fact Daiyu was afraid that her precious son would accidentally offend Kangxi in the palace and act as that unlucky punching bag.Both Hong Yao and Hong Yan were very curious about this grandfather who had been mentioned countless times since she was a child, and that Ama also admired and respected very much.Although obediently sitting at the table and listening to Ama Erniang, she was already looking forward to it.

"Gege, fourth master, the master and the tenth elder brother are coming soon." A prince, two grandsons, and a secret agent are going out of the capital to protect them, and because Lin Ruhai is coming back, Lin Jue personally brings people here up.He sent people to visit from afar, and when they saw Lin Ruhai and Yinbi's whereabouts, they immediately came back to report.Daiyu was delighted, "Daddy is back." Yinzhen nodded, helped Daiyu up and said, "Let's go out to meet father-in-law and tenth younger brother." Hong Yao blinked, pulling Hongyan away like a gust of wind , "Yao'er and younger sister go to greet Guo Luomafa first." Yin Zhen frowned displeased, and was very displeased with Hong Yao's appearance of being so disrespectful.Hong Yao lives in the palace, if he has been so reckless, he doesn't know when he will get into trouble.At that time, I and Yu'er will not have time to protect him.Daiyu said with a slight smile, "Yao'er has always known how to behave in front of people, so it's better for fourth brother not to speak harshly of him." The child is still a bit smarter and cute.Yinzhen said helplessly: "He's not young anymore, how can he be up and down all day?" Daiyu laughed and said, "I don't know who he followed? But it seems that I heard the imperial concubine mention that fourth brother He was very lively when he was a child." Yin Zhen said with a stiff face, "Go out and see your father-in-law."
