After Lin Daiyu finished busy with important things in North America, she said goodbye to her husband with her son and returned to Taiwan first. Jarvis had to stay a little longer and gradually handed over the affairs to his uncle and nephew Zhong Wei and Zhongheng. Because of the long distance, sailing conditions were not good.
It was determined that Lin Hai was not told about this at first. The old man suddenly saw his daughter coming back with her eldest grandson in her arms. He rubbed his eyes several times and became confused. Lin Daiyu hugged the child and asked him to call him "grandfather", and the child cried out sweetly and tenderly.
Lin Hai's eyes suddenly shed tears, and he held his daughter and grandson in his arms.
The two men had just cried three or four times when the child shouted: "Mom~~I want to eat cake~~" and blocked the tears of his mother and grandfather. Lin Hai hurriedly agreed.
Lin Daiyu said coquettishly: "Dad, my daughter is hungry too." Lin Hai repeatedly called for someone to bring snacks. Then she couldn't cry anymore, so the two of them laughed together for a long time.
Lin Hai counted with his fingers and nodded repeatedly: "The old man Gong Sanyi's predictions are not very accurate, but they are not bad at all." That day, Lin Daiyu Jarvis went to fight overseas, and Gong Sanyi had quietly told Lin Hai that the couple had little children.
It would take more than three years to come back in four years. Now it has been more than four years, and the daughter is back, but the son-in-law is not yet. But he doesn’t know yet that Gong Sanyi has been in chaos in Zijing, and even Yan Yan
The king is no longer Situ Pan.
Lin Qu, the grandson of Lin's parents, is over two years old. He has just learned to speak and is not very good at speaking. It is the most fun time. Lin Hai is so happy to hold his grandson that he doesn't want to care about anything. He only plays with him all day long and does not do much official work.
At that time, Jia Cong, Gong Kun and others had all gone north, and Jia Xu was in charge of the Taiwan government. He had no choice but to discuss with Lin Daiyu: "It's okay for Mr. Lin to want to have fun with your grandson. Anyway, you have to go back to Beijing. Naturally, your whole family will be together."
Let's go. It's just that the old man's work can't be handed over in some time?" Lin Daiyu pursed her lips and smiled.
Back home, Lin Hai was indeed building blocks with his grandson again. Lin Daiyu pulled her father: "Dad, I have something to tell you."
Lin Hai didn't even look at her: "Say."
"When I was in Rongguo Mansion in the early years, Cong'er once told me that he would worship me as prime minister in the future. I agreed."
Lin Hai stared at his grandson and said "Oh". He immediately realized something was wrong and turned his head: "What?"
"Cong'er said he wanted to make me his prime minister, and I agreed." Lin Daiyu thought for a while, "It's been so long that I can't remember clearly. Was he about four or five years old at that time? Anyway, I agreed." She smiled.
, "Dad, it's time for us to go back to Beijing." Lin Qu saw that his grandparents ignored him and screamed for attention. Daiyu had no choice but to help him build blocks and talk at the same time, giving a brief summary of what happened in Beijing.
Lin Hai immediately said after hearing this: "Gong Sanyi can't plan his future affairs. I'm afraid he will have made a plan when you leave. He has left Hong Kong for more than two years."
Lin Daiyu smiled bitterly and said: "That's not all. I only found out today that even the King of Yan's decree that Qu'er be the companion of the king and grandson was arranged by him. I was angry about this for several days, and I was planning to come back to meet Cong.
The son discussed it and rebelled against him. Who knew that it was just a move in the game of Mr. Gong? He just wanted to take advantage of the situation to spread rumors and scare the three sons of King Yan to do Xuanwu Sect. This old gentleman knew very well the descendants of the Tian family.
Personality. I used to follow Prince Yi Zhong, and now I help Cong'er. I have been fighting with King Yan for a lifetime. In the end, he won." Lin Hai quickly asked what happened.
At this time, Feng Ziying and her two sons were already in the prison of the Ministry of Punishment, just waiting for some way to die. Jia Cong, Gong Kun, a dozen important figures from the Taiwan government and 50,000 elite soldiers were all on their way to the capital, and the situation was decided.
There is no need to hide anything from Lin Hai anymore. Daiyu told Gong Sanyi's plan to hide the truth and stir up trouble. "This is what my fifth uncle told me just now, and it is not exhaustive. I will ask Mr. Gong more about him after returning to Beijing."
Own."
After hearing this, Lin Hai thought for a long time. If he were Situ Pan's counselor and said that he didn't know how to defeat this plan, he might not even be able to detect that someone was causing trouble. Then he sighed and said: "Every step of the way is based on people's hearts."
Lin Daiyu said leisurely: "The children of the Tian family all have their own evil intentions, and the ministers are also trembling with fear that if they follow the wrong master, they will lose the whole family and behead them all with one move. If it were not for the tragic failure of following the successor, how could Sun Shaozu be so afraid that he would really vote for that old man?"
Three? He completely believed that he was destined to die and was just trying to survive in a desperate situation. After all, the Emperor was too ruthless when he liquidated the remnants of Prince Yohitada's party."
"If he didn't liquidate him so ruthlessly, he wouldn't be able to stay in power. Prince Yi Zhong has been the prince for decades, and there are too many gang members. Why don't he still have Gong Sanyi?" Lin Hai thought for a moment and said.
, "And Feng Ziying. Without his help, how could Gong Sanyi easily transfer the Imperial Guards all over the capital? It would be very easy to expose the secrets with forged tiger talisman secret orders, and the generals in the capital are not fools. Guan Feng Ziying was not wronged in the slightest when he was in the prison of the Ministry of Punishment.
.”
Lin Daiyu smiled sweetly: "He was about to be killed in half." Lin Hai opened his mouth to say something, but then swallowed it. After a long time, he sighed quietly, feeling hard to calm down.
After that, Lin Hai began to hand over the work with his deputy. Lin Daiyu was thinking about how to deal with the court affairs after returning to Beijing. She also sent a telegram to the capital and asked Jia Huan to quietly arrange for manpower to clean and repair the Lin family's house. Jia Huan called back: Someone has been guarding the house for many years.
, the house was exactly the same as when Sister Lin left Beijing. She packed her bags and moved in. Lin Daiyu smiled. After Lin Hai was done with her work, she packed her bags and headed north by car. Jia She also wanted to go to Beijing with them, and Jia Lian stayed in Taiwan first. Lin Daiyu took her two elders and one son with her.
Since I was small, I walked a little slower on the road.
It was the Mid-Autumn Festival on August 15th, and the gate of Rongguo Mansion was bustling with people giving gifts. Jia Zheng was frightened and refused to see any of them. Jia Lan obeyed the instructions of his uncles and came out with a smile to take charge - he would not refuse anyone who came.
I accepted the gift as soon as I saw it. In the afternoon, some disciples rushed into the Rongxi Hall and replied: "Master, Mr. Cong San is back."
Jia Zheng slapped the case: "He is not allowed to come in."
The disciple said worriedly: "The slaves don't dare...and he and Lord Zhan have already entered the house."
Jia Zheng frowned: "What Master Zhan?"
"The person in front said that it was a new high official appointed by the saint a few days ago, Mr. Zhan Kun, Pingzhang political minister and grand master. This servant looks a bit familiar."
"Saint? Which saint?"
Menzi was startled: "I don't know... Is he probably the saint from the Forbidden City?"
When Jia Zheng thought about it, Jia Cong now had an unknown number of musketeers in his hands, and he also transported artillery to the capital without anyone noticing. If he could control the King of Yan, he would also be able to control the Emperor. He closed his eyes for a long time.
, said dejectedly: "I just said that I was not feeling well, and I didn't see them." Then he rushed out.
Now that the Zhan family has nothing to fear, the two men have changed their surnames back, and Gong Sanyi has also returned to his real name Zhan Feng. Jia Cong and Zhan Kun have been busy for a few months and have just got some free time to prepare to return home.
He sent someone back on a fast horse to tell Jia Huan, Baoyu and others. The two brothers led Jia Lan to wait in the south hall in front. Jia Huan had already entered the Yan Palace many times, but Baoyu and Jia Lan met him for the first time in the past few years.
When people meet each other, they suddenly look into each other's eyes and feel a sense of change.
Jia Cong smiled and waved: "Hello everyone." Jia Baoyu couldn't help laughing.
Jia Huan looked him up and down for a long time and said to Jia Lan: "What did I say? It's no different if this guy becomes the regent."
Everyone smiled and walked side by side into the Hall of Rongxi, feeling a bit like returning home in fine clothes. Jia Cong put his hands behind his hands and looked up at the red gold plaque on the green land of Kowloon for a long time, then stretched out his hand and waved: "Hello, Hall of Rongxi.
Jia Cong is back again."
Then he turned around and went to see Jia Zheng. Jia Zheng was sitting in the room. The boy outside came forward and said that the second master was not feeling well. Jia Cong sneered and turned around to order the guard he brought with him: "Kick the door open." Jia Baoyu was about to say something to stop him.
, the guard had already kicked open the door, and Jia Cong led the people in with a swagger.
Jia Zheng stood in front of the Kang table with his hands behind his hands. He could clearly hear the noise outside. He turned around and said coldly: "The Prince Regent has such a big air."
"It's good that the second master knows." Jia Cong walked straight up to him, "I just came to tell the second master that the capital has been calmed down and my father is going back to Beijing. It's time for the second master to move out of Rongxi Hall.
"
Jia Zheng was furious, slapped the case and cursed: "You ignorant evil beast..."
Jia Baoyu shouted anxiously: "Where do you want me to move to?"
"How do I know?" Jia Cong spread his hands, "This is Rong Guo Mansion, and my father is Rong Guo Gong. In the past, when my second uncle lived here, he didn't dare to live in the main house, right? Isn't this the East Corridor? Or move to Xian Guo Mansion next door.
Okay. Send someone to clean it up, it’s not bad.”
Baoyu was stunned: "Where is Xianguo Mansion?"
Jia Huan laughed twice from behind. Jia Cong turned around, and the two brothers looked at each other and smiled. When he was young, Jia Huan and a group of brothers incited Jia Cong to rebel. He once said that he wanted to be a good king. Jia Cong took it from his arms.
He took out an object and threw it away. The object passed over Jia Baoyu's head and landed firmly in Jia Huan's hand. Jia Huan opened it, looked at it, and said, "Is this the real imperial edict?"
"Are there any fake ones?" Jia Cong asked, "It's covered with a jade seal, and the words are also written by the little saint himself."
Jia Baoyu hurriedly asked: "Huan'er, what is it?"
"Imperial edict." Jia Huan read, "By God, the emperor issued an edict saying that the Jia family's son Huan is loyal and good-natured, has outstanding talents and learning, and has made great contributions to the country. I am here to confer you the title of virtuous Duke of the country. How can it be written so simply? I can't come up with it.
A few sentences in parallel prose?"
Jia Cong said: "It's just what I mean, just write it down casually."
"This little saint's calligraphy is not bad." Jia Huan handed the imperial edict to Baoyu and walked up to Jia Zheng from behind.
Jia Zhengfang just yelled one sentence, because Baoyu asked, "Where are you moving to?" He also wanted to know, so he didn't say anything anymore. At this moment, seven or eight expressions were changing on his face, and there were dozens of expressions inside.
Thoughts were swirling around, and I didn't know what to say for a while. But Jia Huan asked first: "Master, do you want to follow me to Dongfu?"
Jia Zheng hesitated for a moment, looked past Jia Huan and looked at Jia Cong, and asked, "Why doesn't Baoyu have a title?"
Jia Cong said: "He has been writing articles in the palace and has never made any achievements. How can he be knighted for no reason?"
"What achievements does Huan'er have?"
Jia Cong pouted: "I really can't tell you this. Hmm... I'm thinking about what I can say."
Jia Huan himself said: "More than ten years ago, the four generals rebelled against the capital. It was I who managed to deliver meals to the emperor, empress, princes, princes and grandsons, as well as the court officials. Forget it."
Jia Cong glanced at him: "That's a promising idea! You still remember such a big deal."
Jia Huan spread his hands: "There's not much you can tell me that I know."
"Okay, that doesn't count. Then you can probably forget it if you marry a princess." Jia Cong turned to look at Jia Zheng, "It's always inconvenient for you to live in this mansion anymore. Brother Huan is in the East Mansion, and he
It doesn't make sense that I am in Xifu. Or I am following brother Baoyu. He has received a lot of royalties over the years and is considered a rich man. He can buy a house nearby..." He thought for a while, "How about the Hanlin Academy?"
Jia Baoyu waved her hands repeatedly: "No need. My temperament is not suitable for being an official."
"Well, you can figure it out yourself."
Jia Zheng looked at Jia Cong for a long time with complicated eyes. Jia Cong had no choice but to say, "Just say whatever you want. No matter what you say, you are still my biological uncle and brother Huan's biological father. Although we both feel wronged by you.
"
Jia Zheng sighed: "You have really become a powerful minister. Do you know that since ancient times, powerful ministers have never had a good end?"
Jia Cong was surprised: "Second uncle, do you know this?"
Jia Zheng frowned: "How could I not know?"
Jia Cong crossed his hands and said: "Then you should also know that since ancient times, relatives have never had a good end. Why did you still think about sending your eldest sister into the palace back then? Didn't you just want to take the path of becoming a concubine and giving birth to a prince, and making the prince's relatives have power over the world?"
Zhan Kun was still outside the house at this moment and had not come in. Hearing this, he couldn't help but poke his head.
Jia Zheng's face froze: "Who said that after giving birth to a prince, you have to become a prince?"
Jia Cong curled his lips: "It turns out you don't even have such ambitions. Well, I'm overthinking it. Anyway, don't worry, things are different now. Wow, I've said this so many times."
Jia Zheng choked for a moment and then said: "You are a child, can you possibly stabilize the court?"
"Yes." Jia Cong said, "Now Mr. Zhan, Brother Feng and Mr. Luo are here. Sister Lin and Uncle Lin will arrive in Beijing soon, and they will help me."
Jia Zheng sighed again and said earnestly: "How can these words convince the public? The world's most famous people are in Shilin. Among those adults at the imperial censor's desk in the Hanlin Academy, none of them will let you go. You actually want to take Lin Yatou as your prime minister! She
Even though she has devised several strategies and fought several battles overseas, she is still a female prostitute. Who in the imperial court is willing to obey her?"
"Oh, I just missed one of the most important people." Jia Cong said sternly, "Brother Yao'er is coming back and will bring the North American army. The North American army is very impressed with Sister Lin. Among the generals
In front of swords and guns, the pen and ink of the literati are of no use. What is the imperial censor station of the Hanlin Academy?
It's a useless thing like a mouth, why should I care about it?"
"What about the public sentiment?"
Jia Cong smiled and said: "The common people don't care who is the emperor at all, let alone whether the prime minister is a man or a woman? I guarantee that they will make money and live a good life." Jia Zheng wanted to speak, but Jia Cong rushed to say, "There is also
I need to say hello to my second uncle first. Third sister has to go back to Beijing after taking over the affairs of the Taiwan government."
It has been said in Beijing that Taiwan is a barbaric island with no talents, and several sisters from the Rongguo Mansion helped Jia Lian, the prefect, as minor officials. Tanchun married a minor official with a lower position than her, and Jia Zheng was depressed for a long time after hearing that.
After hearing this, he immediately asked: "What official title do you want to give to the third girl's husband?"
Jia Cong said: "When the third brother-in-law was in Taiwan, he first served as the clerical secretary of the third sister, and then became her assistant to the minister. Therefore, I would like to ask the third brother-in-law to be the Minister of Household Affairs."
Jia Zheng didn't understand the word "secretary minister" at all, but he was satisfied with the title of minister of household affairs. He stroked his beard and said, "It's just that he has never taken the imperial examination. It's probably inappropriate to suddenly get a second-grade official."
"What's wrong?" Jia Cong said, "The third sister is going to be the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue."
Jia Zheng was stunned: "What did you say?"
"The third sister will be the Minister of the Ministry of Finance." Jia Cong said again.
"You!" Jia Zheng pointed at him, "You are nonsense!"
Jia Cong spread his hands: "Let's make trouble. I've done it all."
Zhan Kun smiled outside, walked in and bowed to Jia Zheng: "Father-in-law."
Jia Huan explained from the side: "The eldest brother-in-law's real surname is Zhan, and his grandfather is the late prince and Taibao Zhan Feng."
Jia Zheng was shocked: "Mr. Zhan, the former crown prince and Taibao?!" Zhan Kun nodded with a smile. Jia Zheng then understood that the "Mr. Zhan Kun, Pingzhang political minister and grand master" mentioned by his disciples just now was the eldest son-in-law. It was obvious that Jia Cong was the regent.
At that moment, all the brothers and sisters-in-law were in a panic. But he didn't think of his uncle at all! He couldn't help but feel irritable and depressed inside. But the panic of these days was washed away.
