Chapter 15
Pan Jie treated Jia Lin with some sincerity this time.He was alone, had no heirs, and had no nephews. If Jia Lin was smart, he would be willing to teach this young man well.The two foxes, one big and one small, looked at each other and smiled, as if they were saying something.It's a pity that one of them has a rough face, and the other is still young. Even with a feather fan, he can't pretend to be Kong Ming's chic posture.
Concubine Chen De and her successors are both cousins of the Holy Majesty, but the honor and favor they receive are completely different.This is because Concubine Chen De is the niece of the emperor's own mother, and later the niece of the queen mother.The emperor's mother died young, and he ascended the throne at a young age, and the empress dowager's family controls the imperial court.Although there was the support of the eldest princess of Changle, the emperor's road to governing himself was still very difficult.In this way, the emperor naturally did not have a good impression of the queen mother's family.Now, the empress dowager has passed away, and the empress dowager's family has been completely suppressed. It can be said that the successors have neither family background nor honor, and they just bear a status in the harem for nothing.As for the Chen family, after being promoted by the emperor over the years, it has become the most powerful lineage in the court. Officials are his protégés.And these are all the assistance of the fourth prince. Even if he is a little weaker, he is still able to compete with the third prince.
As for the third prince, Concubine Liu Gui's mother's family background is not obvious, although the emperor also conferred titles on her natal brothers because the emperor valued Concubine Liu Gui, but they have no real power after all.However, Concubine Liu Gui is good at management, and has a particularly good relationship with the current family of meritorious service. Most of these meritorious service are from military generals. In addition, the third prince is the most favored by the emperor, and the power of the third prince is indeed the greatest.
That is to say, the third prince has generals, and the fourth prince has civil servants. Although they are equal to a certain extent, they are absolutely different.And here, there is one more person to be mentioned, and that is the First Prince.Because of the grievances in the harem of the previous generation, the eldest prince will never support the third prince, and the living queen mother was also involved in the matter of the eldest prince's birth mother, which makes the relationship between the eldest prince and the successor also have some differences. Don't deal with it, even though when the first prince's biological mother died of illness, the successors hadn't entered the palace yet.From this point of view, if the eldest prince wants to support a brother who is close to him, he can only support the fourth prince.Fortunately, the eldest prince has never stated his position, but if he shows an inclination to get close to the fourth prince, it can be said that the current stalemate between the court and China will be completely broken.After all, the eldest prince has real military power in his hands.
As for the Seventh Prince, even though he was raised under the name of his successor, he was not a proper son after all. In addition, his successor's position was already in jeopardy, so he looked like an invisible person now.
Let’s talk about Zhennanhou’s mansion here. After Qingling County Lord married Zhennanhou, it can be said that Zhennanhou and Xijinhou are considered to be together.Although the Marquis of Zhennan has no military power now, he still has prestige. The Marquis of the Western Jin Dynasty has real power. This kind of marriage is indeed a strong alliance.This is why Concubine Liu Gui has been trying to please Princess Huaiyu.To be honest, Jia Lin was also a little worried that she would be married off by Mrs. Wang inexplicably, but after knowing the marriage contract between Jia's mansion and Zhennanhou's mansion, he thought about it for a few days, but now he doesn't think so. Feel worried.
People in this era have a very strong sense of loyalty to the emperor, but Jia Lin does not.Therefore, he will always remain suspicious of the side shown by the emperor.
Today's Zhennan Hou Shizi, his biological mother is the emperor's eldest daughter, Princess Min Rou, who is said to have died of dystocia, but who knows what happened there?And his stepmother is Princess Qingling, and it is very likely that Princess Qingling and Marquis Zhennan had an affair without a matchmaker. Thinking about it again, maybe Princess Minrou was killed by this pair of adulterers.The current emperor loves the niece of Princess Qingling no matter how much he ignores the biological daughter of Princess Minrou. Would he want his daughter to be killed?This is not to say how much love the emperor has for Princess Minrou, but to say that the marriage of Princess Minrou to Zhennanhou was pointed out by the emperor, and Princess Qingling stepped in halfway, which is obviously a challenge. His authority as the emperor.That's why the emperor named the child left by his own daughter as his son early on.If there is no intention of the emperor, how can the child left by Princess Minrou sit on the throne because Princess Qingling is so powerful, and Marquis Zhennan is so ruthless to Princess Minrou?
Perhaps the emperor's respect for the eldest princess of Changle is sincere, but this kind of respect is not as good as his ambition for Jiangshan Sheji. Don't look at how arrogant Princess Huaiyu is now as the daughter of the eldest princess of Changle. Diaphragm should.Back then, Princess Changle was able to participate in politics. Maybe Princess Huaiyu also wanted to imitate her mother's beauty, but today is different. At that time, the emperor was weak, so she needed the support of Princess Changle. Now the emperor Having sat firmly on the throne for decades, how can there be room for others to be presumptuous?When he arrived at Qingling County Master, he was naturally one generation behind, and another layer separated.Besides, the emperor was originally unwilling to see the marriage of Zhennanhou and Xijinhou, two real powerhouses, so he pointed to the marriage of Princess Minrou, and Princess Qingling wanted to join in...Mingming, the son of Princess Qingling is only slightly older than Minrou. The son born to Princess Rou is eight months younger, but since the emperor has chosen the son born to Princess Min Rou, then this child will definitely secure the position of the son with the support of the emperor.
In this way, would the emperor be happy to watch his son marry a man, leaving the last Marquis of Zhennan behind?
Absolutely!right!Do not!Can!can!
For a creature like the emperor, if he is willing to give you a momentary favor, it may not be because he really values you.
It is precisely because of such considerations that Jia Lin is now very relieved about her marriage.Even if he really gets together with a man in the future and wants him to marry a prince, it's better to let him marry Qin Shu.
Pan Jie now understands the situation of the world somewhat clearly, he vaguely wants to put the treasure on the fourth prince.But the old fox wanted to wait and see again, but he didn't make a clear conclusion.Pan Jie's meaning represented Lin Ruhai's meaning to a certain extent. From this point of view, Lin Ruhai is still cautiously choosing to wait and see.It's true that Lin Ruhai is loyal to the emperor, but in his current position, if he doesn't leave a way out for himself, he will definitely be liquidated after the new king ascends the throne.Therefore, although Lin Ruhai does not stand in line, he is also willing to give convenience to others on the basis of not violating the principles of the current emperor.Of course, it’s true that Lin Ruhai is an upright official, but sometimes a moderate tact can help you go further in the officialdom and seek more well-being for the people than a strong one.
Jia Lin has studied with Pan Jie for more than ten days, and they probably have similar temperaments, and the relationship between the two is getting better.Pan Jie occasionally said good things about Jia Lin in front of Lin Ruhai, which made Lin Ruhai feel very relieved.Pan Jie, because of his own experience, although he has read the sage books, actually has some tricks in his bones, which is similar to Jia Lin.As for Lin Ruhai, even though he is a little more tactful, he still upholds the principles of a gentleman.Pan Jie didn't want to be rejected by his benefactor, and Jia Lin didn't want to gain a bad reputation for nothing, so the two pretended to be more and more tacit in front of Lin Ruhai.
After a few more days like this, after nearly a month of being imprisoned in the East Courtyard, everyone in Jia's mansion finally had an accident.
In Lin's mansion, because the head mother has to take good care of the fetus, now Lin Ruhai's aunt is in charge of the inner courtyard of the mansion.This Aunt Qian was Lin Ruhai's noble concubine, who was given to him by Lin Ruhai's mother when she was still alive.She is only 26 and seven now, and she is considered young among the aunts in the house, but she has never been pregnant. Although she is in charge of the inner courtyard, she is willing to discuss anything with the capable old woman next to Jia Min, which makes even Jia Min felt offended, she couldn't find fault with Aunt Qian on the bright side, after all Aunt Qian has always been respectful in front of her.
Lin Ruhai was taking a rest that day, and when Aunt Qian came to the study to look for Lin Ruhai, Lin Ruhai was playing chess with Jia Lin.Lin Ruhai's chess style is very delicate, but Jia Lin's chess style is very open and close, and Pan Jie is watching the chess without saying a word.Lin Ruhai knew very well that Aunt Qian was a person, and when she was young, Aunt Qian didn't like to use any means of fighting for favor, and now she doesn't know it anymore at this age, so since she is waiting outside the study, she must have something important to do.Lin Ruhai got up and went to the outhouse.When Aunt Qian came in, she was accompanied by Jia Min's nanny.
When the grandma saw Lin Ruhai, she knelt down, with tears running down her old face, and cried, "Master, you have to decide for Madam!" After crying for a while, she didn't say a word about the business.Lin Ruhai's heart jumped, thinking that Jia Min's stomach was not good.In fact, as early as when Jia Min was conceived, the old doctor had said bluntly to Lin Ruhai that his wife's physique was too weak, and the child in her stomach might not survive the normal delivery, and the adults might be injured by then, so it's better I gave it away while the month was young... But Jia Min refused, and wanted to keep the child in her belly no matter what.
Although Lin Ruhai was looking forward to having a son-in-law, he was already prepared in his heart, so he felt sad now, but it was not surprising. He only looked at Aunt Qian and asked, "What's the matter?"
"Reporting to the master, when the laundry room was washing clothes for the masters in the house today, I found that there was a purse in the clothes sent out from Tingsong Pavilion. It looked like the favorite thing of Master Biao, so Not daring to act presumptuously, the servant brought it up so that the concubine could send someone to return it to the young master Biao. At that time, sister Bixi was in the concubine's room, and as soon as the purse was brought in, she hugged her stomach and yelled that it was wrong. Concubine Only then did people check her body, and there was something musk in this purse, besides that, there is, and..." Aunt Qian's tone was flat, as if she was stating the matter objectively.
