Let's say that after the prince left Jia's house, he couldn't wait to enter the palace and asked to see Emperor Chongkang.
Not long after, the prince was ushered into the royal study.
"My sons and ministers have come to see my father, and I sincerely wish him good luck and good health."
Emperor Chongkang smiled and said: "Chang'er is here, get up and talk."
"Yes, my dear, thank you very much, Father."
After the prince stood up, Emperor Chongkang gave him a seat again. The prince sat down, and the father and son talked for a while.
The relationship between Emperor Chongkang and the prince was more like a normal father and son, but it was less like a conversation between a monarch and his minister.
It is rare for the emperor and the prince to have such a harmonious relationship.
The royal family has no family ties. In the face of power, fathers, sons, and brothers are all nothing.
The reason why the relationship between Emperor Chongkang and the prince was so harmonious was mainly due to the fact that other princes were either young or incompetent, while the prince's position was stable.
Secondly, it was because Emperor Chongkang loved the prince very much, and the prince had a pure heart, so Emperor Chongkang had little suspicion of the prince.
The prince said a few words to Emperor Chongkang, and then said: "Father, I would like to ask my father for someone to be the Young Master of Zhan Shifu of my East Palace."
After hearing what the prince said, Emperor Chongkang couldn't help but asked in surprise: "Chang'er, isn't there something wrong with Shao Zhan in your East Palace? I don't know who it is that caught your eye?"
Since the last time, the prince was introduced to Lijia Village by Jia Huan, and after truly seeing the suffering of the people, he seemed to have changed as a person.
He began to like to go deep into the poor people, and those educated people in the court liked to talk about benevolence, justice and morality, but it was difficult to get into the eyes of the prince.
Emperor Chongkang was naturally satisfied with the prince's transformation.
In the past, the prince was taught to be a nerd by that hypocrite, but now he finally got the idea, and Emperor Chongkang was naturally happy.
At this time, Emperor Chongkang was also curious as to who the prince had fallen in love with.
The prince said: "To inform my father, the person I want is Jia Jinyu. Jia Jinyu is still in Dingyou. When his term in Dingyou expires, I want him to come to my East Palace to serve as the Young Master."
"My father, I don't know, but today I went to Jia's Mansion to ask for advice on the art of war. What I never expected is that Jia Jinyu's art of war is even more outstanding than I imagined."
"If Jia Jinyu had commanded the battle between the Great Wall and the Jin Army, the Jin Army would have been defeated!"
"When Jia Jinyu becomes my East Palace Young Master, I will ask him to help me train a new army. When the new army is trained, I will be responsible for collecting intelligence and Jia Jinyu will be responsible for commanding the army."
"Working together, we will be invincible."
When Emperor Chongkang heard what the prince said, his face turned dark.
This scoundrel wants to cultivate an invincible new army in front of me. What on earth do you want to do? Could it be that he wants to seize power?
Emperor Chongkang knew the prince very well. After hearing these words, he would definitely reprimand the prince severely and then order him to study behind closed doors.
Even the thought of deposing the prince is unknown.
Any existence that could endanger the imperial power must be eliminated quickly.
Fortunately, Emperor Chongkang knew the prince very well and knew that he had no such intentions, so he did not reprimand him immediately.
Of course, Emperor Chongkang would not seriously let the prince train a new army.
Even if a new army is to be trained, this new army must be firmly in my hands.
Emperor Chongkang was a little curious about the prince's evaluation of Jia Huan. Is Jia Huan really as powerful as the prince said?
Thinking of this, Emperor Chongkang couldn't help but ask: "Prince, how do you know that if you let Jia Huan command that battle, the Jin army could be defeated?"
Upon hearing Emperor Chongkang's inquiry, the prince couldn't help but said: "Father, today I and Jia Jinyu have conducted two sand table simulations on the battle involving General Zhou Tong."
"In two deductions, once Erchen used the Jin Army, and the other time he used the Xia Army. In the results, Erchen lost worse than the last time. In this way, doesn't it mean that Jia Jinyu is more powerful than Zhou Tong? ?"
"This is enough to prove that what Zhou Tong said in the memorial was not modest!"
After listening to the prince's words, Emperor Chongkang couldn't help but show a thoughtful look on his face.
After a while, Emperor Chongkang said: "Prince, Shao Zhanshi's duty is not to train new troops. The guards of the East Palace do not need to be trained by the East Palace themselves."
"Jia Jinyu does have great talent. Putting him in the East Palace would bury his talent. After a while, my father will put him to good use."
Hearing this, the prince couldn't help but said dissatisfied: "Father, how can you do this? Jia Jinyu is the talent I have chosen first. How can father compete with his son?"
Emperor Chongkang laughed and said: "Don't worry, Chang'er. Jia Jinyu is a pillar of talent. Sooner or later, my father will leave it to you for your use."
"But this kind of talent can only grow rapidly if it is in the hands of my father!"
After hearing this, the prince said helplessly: "Father, you have good intentions and your children will be taught."
After leaving the palace and returning to the East Palace, the prince couldn't help but smile.
This time, he gave him a gentle push from behind, hoping that Jia Jinyu would grow up as soon as possible and not live up to his expectations.
Yes, the prince is no longer the prince he used to be.
He cannot be innocent all his life.
After going to Lijia Village, the prince's mentality changed dramatically when he realized that he had been deceived.
It's just that the people around me haven't realized this yet.
In the imperial study, after the prince left, Emperor Chongkang couldn't help but think about it.
After a long while, Emperor Chongkang suddenly ordered: "Here comes Xuan Jia Jinyu."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
…
In the Grand View Garden, Xiaoxiang Pavilion, Jia Huanzheng said to Lin Daiyu: "Sister Lin, the Five Beauties Yin you wrote is naturally excellent."
"But after all, it is too pessimistic, and being too pessimistic can be harmful to your health. Sister Lin should be more optimistic."
Lin Daiyu couldn't help but said: "These five poems were actually not written by me recently. I had several incomplete manuscripts before."
"Besides, I'm just doodling. I'm not always so pessimistic. How can it be as serious as you say?"
Jia Huan smiled and said: "This is the best. I hope Sister Lin smiles more every day."
"Smile, it's less than ten years. If you can maintain an optimistic mood every day, it will be of great benefit to your body and mind."
While the two were talking, Zicuckoo rushed in in a hurry.
Because he came in so quickly, Jia Huan still hugged Lin Daiyu and did not separate.
Although the relationship between the two is basically known to everyone in the Grand View Garden.
But when she met Zijuan for the first time, Lin Daiyu was still extremely shy.
She couldn't help but glared at Jia Huan, and then asked Zijuan: "You little prodigal, what are you doing in such a panic? What happened? To scare you into this?"
Zijuan said in a panic: "Girl, two eunuchs came outside. They said that the empress in the palace granted the girl a marriage and also gave her a reward."
Upon hearing the news, Lin Daiyu's face instantly turned pale.
Lin Daiyu took a deep breath, and then asked: "I wonder who the empress in the palace is marrying to?"
Zijuan couldn't help but said: "Girl, it's Mr. Bao!"
Sure enough!
I didn’t expect that they would force themselves to this point!
At this time, Jia Huan next to him was already furious.
The stupid woman in Xifu was like this, but she didn't expect that even Yuanchun was like this.
But when you think about it, it’s not incomprehensible.
After all, they are mother and daughter, and Baoyu is her biological brother from both father and mother.
After all, there is a mother between him and her.
It is actually not unimaginable that she would turn to Mrs. Wang and Jia Baoyu.
Thinking of this, Jia Huan couldn't help but smile, and then said to Lin Daiyu: "Sister Lin, let me solve this matter!"
"I guess your Majesty doesn't know the reason, so she messed up the relationship! When I tell you the truth, your Majesty will definitely change her mind."
What is the chaotic point of Yuanyang spectrum? These words are extremely disrespectful to the empress!
Of course, Jia Huan no longer has much respect for Yuanchun after she did such a thing.
Even at this moment, Jia Huan was already thinking of the most vicious means of revenge.
If I was really annoyed, I would rebel, and then run away quietly with Sister Lin.
When the time comes, let’s see if your entire Jia family will be implicated and the nine clans will be executed, and everyone will be executed!
Of course, things are far from this point yet.
As soon as Jia Huan finished speaking, Lin Daiyu unexpectedly said: "Brother Huan, no need. I will go out and solve this matter myself."
"In my whole life, I will never marry anyone other than you. Don't say it was given by the empress, but by the emperor. As long as I don't marry Brother Huan, I won't accept the order. If I want to force you, I will die."
The words of Jia Huan and Lin Daiyu frightened Zijuan next to her so that her face turned pale and her heart beat wildly.
She didn't expect that Mr. Jia and the girl would be so bold and say such outrageous things in front of her.
At this moment, she began to fear that Master Jia would kill her and silence her.
Unexpectedly, Jia Huan didn't notice her little transparency at all.
Jia Huan couldn't help but said: "Sister Lin, this is not a matter for you alone, but a matter for the two of us."
"That being the case, how can I let you withstand all the pressure alone? Naturally, the two of us should handle this matter together."
Hearing Jia Huan's words, Lin Daiyu smiled slightly and said, "Okay, then the two of us will carry it together."
After saying that, the two walked out, and not long after, two eunuchs came to the Xiaoxiang Pavilion.
"Where is Miss Lin? Please come forward to receive the imperial concubine Xian De."
Yi Zhi is an order used to address the queen, empress dowager, concubine, princess, etc. It is also used as an honorific title for the orders of noble family members, elders and women.
Yizhi does not specifically refer to the orders of the empress dowager and empress. The orders of the imperial concubine are also Yizhi.
And since it is Yizhi, it cannot be refused.
Lin Daiyu took a step forward and said, "The little girl is here."
Next, one of the eunuchs read out the edict of the virtuous concubine.
Concubine Xiande first praised Lin Daiyu, then praised Jia Baoyu, and then said that the two were a match made in heaven, so Concubine Xiande deliberately acted as a matchmaker to make the two of them a good match for Qin and Jin.
Finally, Concubine Xiande rewarded Lin Daiyu with many things.
After reading out the imperial edict, the eunuch said with a smile: "Miss Lin, why don't you accept the edict and express your gratitude?"
In his opinion, after hearing Yi's decree, Miss Lin will be overjoyed and grateful, and his thank you gift is absolutely indispensable.
Unexpectedly, after hearing what he said, Miss Lin did not accept the order to thank her, but instead said:
"The little girl accepts the empress's kindness, but the little girl doesn't dare to accept the empress's decree. The little girl dares not to accept the empress's reward."
"Huanjun Mingzhu sheds tears, wishing that we had not met at the right time. The little girl already has the person she likes, so she can only refuse the empress's kindness."
As soon as Lin Daiyu finished speaking, the expressions of the two eunuchs who delivered the order suddenly changed.
This was the first time that they encountered a situation where they refused an edict, even though this edict was not an imperial edict, but just a Yi edict.
Due to lack of relevant experience, they were stunned for a moment.
After a long while, he said: "Miss Lin, do you know what you are talking about? Do you know what the consequences will be if you refuse the order?"
Lin Daiyu said calmly: "Of course the little girl knows that it's just death! I'm not afraid of death, so how can I be afraid of death? Even if the little girl dies, she doesn't dare to obey!"
As soon as these words came out, the expressions of the two eunuchs changed again.
One of the eunuchs shouted sternly: "How dare you! You dare to refuse the order. Aren't you afraid of being executed by the nine clans?"
After hearing these words, Lin Daiyu's expression finally changed.
She herself is not afraid of death, or in other words, if she cannot marry Jia Huan and is forced to marry someone else, she would rather die than submit.
However, if this affects her father, it will be a burden that Lin Daiyu cannot bear.
Hearing this, tears rolled down Lin Daiyu's eyes.
She couldn't help but said: "I already have a sweetheart, why do you come to force me so hard? If you don't obey, you will not only harm my life, but also kill my nine tribes?"
"I can only die today, and I can't do anything about it. I just hope that my death will not affect my father!"
After saying that, Lin Daiyu turned around and hit the stone pillar next to her.
Fortunately, Jia Huan next to her had quick eyes and quick hands and hugged her in time.
If not, I'm afraid Lin Daiyu will die in the next moment.
This scene scared the two eunuchs who were delivering the order into a cold sweat.
Fortunately, Miss Lin was stopped in time. Otherwise, a girl would have been forced to death because of the imperial concubine's decree.
By then I'm afraid even the empress will not be able to escape.
Jia Huan, who stopped Lin Daiyu in time, was also shocked into a cold sweat.
He hurriedly said to Lin Daiyu: "Sister Lin, why are you doing this? This matter is not at the end of the road. You must not be impulsive. Just leave it to me to solve it."
After saying that, Jia Huan looked at the two eunuchs and said, "Please go back and report to the Queen the truth."
"And I also..."
At this moment, Dai Quan walked in surrounded by several eunuchs.
Seeing Jia Huan, he hurriedly said: "Your Majesty declares Master Jia to visit you, and also invites Master Jia to go immediately. There must be no mistake."
Jia Huan turned back to Lin Daiyu and said, "Sister Lin, I'll come as soon as I go. You must not do anything stupid. Don't worry, just leave this matter to me."
After giving instructions to Lin Daiyu, Jia Huan called Mo Zhu and Mo Mei and told them to protect Lin Daiyu.
After giving the instructions, Jia Huan followed Dai Quan and went straight to the palace. (End of chapter)
