Chapter 64: Entering the Ground for Peace
(The second update, ask for a red ticket)
Wang Mazi and Zhenniang also came to Chongzhou with Lin Tie this time, but the couple took two black mountain dogs to live in the front yard, and Xiaoman accompanied Su Mei to live in the Beishan Courtyard, and the inner house was also rare and quiet.
Liu Yue'er's menstrual period was interrupted for nearly two months, and Lin was pregnant within half a month of returning to Chongzhou. confirmed that she was pregnant, although Liu Yue'er held Lin Jian in her arms, she refused to let him touch her body again, for fear of moving the fetus.
Liu Yue'er's body had some early pregnancy reactions, her body was weak, and she was also a little uncomfortable, and Lin Jian could only endure it, but she restlessly took the hard meat pestle and pressed it against Liu Yue'er's plump buttocks through the thin shirt.
"Or just take Xiaoman's girl into the room, she understands all the things she should understand, and she is waiting for you to accept her," Liu Yue'er curled up playfully, turned over, and put her knees against Lin Tie, "If you wait for Miss Gu to enter the door, you will have to stay up for three months, although the Seventh Lady will also come to Chongzhou the day after tomorrow, but you can't expect her to live in this courtyard." ”
Lin Jian didn't know how to say the matter of the sixth lady; Liu Yue'er said this, but for his sake, but even if he didn't care about Xun Niang's feelings, even if he just took care of the Gu family's face, he couldn't accept another concubine when Xun Niang was about to enter the door. Xiaoman's identity is already clear, and he can't just let Xiaoman enter the room as a roommate to serve him. Otherwise, what would Fu Qinghe, Qin Chengzu, and Cao Ziang think in their hearts?
In the end, it is still necessary to keep the word "etiquette", as long as others believe this, Lin Jian cannot be completely unscrupulous.
"There are so many things, how can you think about it? Don't think about it, Xiaoman, this girl is still young, let's talk about it after the New Year......" Lin Tie gently covered Liu Yue'er's soft lower abdomen, the fetus was less than two months old, and he couldn't feel it, pulling Liu Yue'er into his arms, he stretched out his arm and let Yue'er sleep on his arm, thinking that the women in the world took jealousy as an evil virtue, and really indulged in men's greed, it was the sixth lady Shan Rou, although she had no feelings for her, but such a beautiful woman was stuffed into her arms alive, As a physiologically normal man, it is hard to resist; I don't know how Yingsleeve has such a ridiculous idea, isn't it harmful to jump into the fire pit? The matter is really accidentally exposed, even if the Lin family does not turn their faces, it will affect his reputation in Chongzhou.
This can't be done, no matter how big the temptation is, you have to endure it, Lin Jian thought to himself.
"What are you thinking?" Liu Yue'er stared at Lin Lian's face through the starlight that spilled in from the window.
"I didn't think about anything," Lin Lian stretched out his hand to caress Yue'er's smooth and charming cheeks, "I was thinking, it would be great luck to have such a charming woman as you, and it made me stupidly get a few - you are pregnant now, be careful in everything, and tell others to do whatever you want to do." ”
"What can I tell someone else to do?" Liu Yue'er said, "When it comes to what I want to do, I miss my father and mother a little, although they treat me badly, but after all, it is my father and mother who gave birth to me and raised me, I shouldn't have a grudge against them......"
"Then I asked Lin Jingzhong to find them and bring them to Chongzhou, I think they have suffered a lot outside during this time." Lin Jian said.
At the beginning, the Liu family couldn't wait to sell Liu Yue'er for a good price, but they didn't miss their family affection at all, which made Liu Yue'er sad and crying. Later, when I thought about it, I was relieved that the status of wives and concubines in the world was very different, according to the law, "concubines are bought and sold", and the status of concubines is not much higher than the goods that can be bought and sold at will. Marrying a daughter as a concubine is actually selling her daughter, and the practice of the Liu family is very common in this world, and it cannot be regarded as the Liu family's special greed for money.
Lin Lian thought that Xun Niang was about to enter the door, the status of his wife and concubine was certain, even if the Liu family had any ideas, they couldn't toss any tricks in Chongzhou, Lin Lian thought that he would always remember Yue'er's feelings, and he would also give her father and mother a good home, and it would be good to take them to Chongzhou for settlement.
***********
Su Mei did not break away from the music book, at least on the surface, he had to draw a clear line and distinguish the relationship with Lin Lian, so as not to give Yuan Guizheng the opportunity to completely drag Lin Jian and the Jiangdong Left Army into the Qiuye Prison Rebellion Case. Su Mei went to Chongzhou to live in Beishan Courtyard, opened the door to welcome guests, sang publicly, and raised money for Chongzhou. After staying for four days, plus the 1,000 taels of silver donated by the Yongchang Marquis Mansion, a total of nearly 2,000 silver funds were raised, all of which were donated to the county, and Su Mei took a boat back to Jiangning on July 4.
Lin Tingxun's remains were also transported to Chongzhou by ship on July 4, and in addition to the eight orphans and widows, Lin Xulu took more than 300 Lin Xiangyong to escort them on the ship, along with 64 monks who practiced the business.
The monks and nuns in Chongzhou were almost empty of Lin Xuan, and if they hadn't invited people from Jiangning, they would not have been able to gather the sixty-four "eminent monks" who had done things in Chongzhou.
In the Dayue Dynasty, the power of the monastery is not small, Emperor Jingfeng, Emperor Qingyu and Empress Dowager Liang are all believers in praying for sincerity, and the Buddhist temple in Beijing will be rewarded every year on the Buddha Festival; Taichang Temple, which controls Taoist and Buddhist affairs, is listed with the six departments and nine Qing.
Even if Lin Jian had the intention of destroying the Buddha and destroying the Buddha, it would not be his turn to be qualified to implement it at this time.
Some things have never been done, and Lin Jian insisted that his expulsion of monks and nuns, confiscation of temple property, and temple and field in Chongzhou was the need to thoroughly investigate the bandit case. Even if Taichang Temple has a lot of criticism about Lin Lian's practice of wantonly eliminating the power of the monastery in Chongzhou, it is impossible for Lin Jian to turn his face with Lin Jian because the power of the monastery in a county is damaged.
The most important thing is that Han Zai, the special envoy of Xuanwei, fell into the trap of Lin Bin, and inexplicably became the most resolute figure in Chongzhou's investigation of the monastery, so that Yue Lengqiu and Wang Tian could not find trouble with Lin Jian in this matter, and jointly suppressed this matter.
Lin Tie chose a cemetery for Lin Tingxun halfway up the eastern foot of Zilang Mountain, and the location was quite good. In addition to building a burial chamber, a thatched hall for guarding the tomb was also built. Lin Jian asked Chongzhou to invite a group of craftsmen to dig the tomb half a month ago, but he would not be officially buried until the eldest prince Lin Xuwen arrived in Chongzhou.
Lin Tingxun was buried in Chongzhou, and Lin Xuwen, as the eldest son, naturally resigned from public office in accordance with Ding Wei's ancestral system and went to Chongzhou to stay in front of the tomb for three years.
For thousands of years, filial piety comes first in everything, and if an official dares to violate the system of filial piety, he is waiting to drown the imperial historians of the Metropolitan Procuratorate with spit stars and impeachment.
In the depths of Zhang Xie's heart, he was eager to kick Lin Xuwen away from the position of the right capital imperial history and the governor of the Hejian Mansion and the military preparation of the Hejian Mansion and the Dujin Haicao Transportation Division, and replace him with his own person. Not only is Lin Xuwen the arm of Gu Tang's family, but the Jinhai Grain Road in charge of Lin Xuwen is directly pinching the throat of Gyeonggi.
Although Zhang Xie's heart was full of desire to kick Lin Xuwen away, he knew in his heart that once he kicked Lin Xuwen back from this position to Chongzhou to guard his filial piety for three years by virtue of Ding Wei's system, the Jinhai Grain Road, which was still holding the throat of Gyeonggi at this time, was likely to cause big trouble that would make it difficult for him to protect his position. No matter how unwilling he was in his heart, he could only suggest that the emperor give Lin Xuwen a special order to stay in office.
On June 25, Lin Xuwen resigned to Chongzhou to keep filial piety, and Jingzhong followed suit. After that, Lin Xuwen went to three resignations in a row, and Jingzhong also issued three special orders to retain him, and finally the imperial court reluctantly agreed to give Lin Xuwen a month's vacation to let him go back to Chongzhou to bury his father, but after he completed the one-month leave, he immediately returned to Jinhai to preside over the overall situation of Caoyun Division and Hejian Mansion.
Due to the violent seas at sea in summer, Lin Xuwen set off by land from Jinhai on 2 July and arrived in Chongzhou by carriage until 13 July.
Lin Tingxun was officially buried in Chongzhou on July 15, more than a year after his death in Jiangning.
************
Watching the coffin slowly fall into the tomb dug out of the steep cliff, Lin Tie was also full of emotion, and said that it was safe to enter the ground, if Lin Tingxun really knew under the Nine Springs, he didn't know if he was happy to be buried in Chongzhou, a foreign land.
In addition to Lin Xuwen rushing back from Jinhai, Lin Xulu has been presiding over the funeral in Chongzhou these days, and Lin Tingli and his second son Lin Xufu also rushed to Chongzhou from Dongyang. Including Lin Tingxun's five widows, his youngest son Lin Xuxi, and the young lady Ma and Lin Tingxun's youngest grandson, important people who can decide the fate of the Lin family have all gathered in Chongzhou.
Sprinkle soil to cover the coffin, pile the soil for the grave, and the craftsmen also use green bricks to plaster the mortar to cover the grave.
The funeral people all went down the mountain one after another, Lin Bin, Lin Xuwen, Lin Tingli and others walked to the grass house where the tomb was guarded, and Lin Xuwen wanted to live in the grass house for seven days before returning to Jinhai.
Lin Tingli looked at the Taotao River in the southeast direction, and said with emotion: "This can be regarded as the Lin family's branches in Chongzhou-before coming to Chongzhou, I was still a little worried about the situation in Chongzhou, so it seems that the situation in Chongzhou is the least worrying." Now that I'm in Dongyang and I'm in Jinhai, I want you to help in Chongzhou. Your aunts and Xu Xi will eventually return to Shiliang County, and the Lin clan of Chongzhou will be dominated by you. "This can be regarded as pushing Lin Tie as the lord of the Chongzhou Lin clan.
"It is right to do your best for the clan," Lin Jian said, "When the head of the family was alive, he often said that in the autumn of chaos, the clan should be the priority. If our Lin clan can't work together, how can we survive for a long time in this turbulent autumn? As for the Chongzhou Lin family, I am young and shallow, and the second uncle is still a capable host. ”
"You also know that it's an eventful and chaotic autumn, so don't shirk it," Lin Tingli put his hand on Lin Lian's shoulder and pressed it hard, "This burden is not light, who else can do it except you?" Everyone must remember that whether it is the Lin clan of Dongyang or the Lin clan of Chongzhou, we are all of the same origin, the same roots, the same clan and the same clan. ”
"......" Lin Jian quietly looked at the passing river, it is difficult for future generations to understand the importance of clan in maintaining social relations in this era, and it is also difficult to understand the huge role that clan forces can play in this era. Although Lin Jian also intended to support and use the power of the Lin clan, he also deliberately restricted the penetration of the Lin clan's power into the Jiangdong Left Army, and he did not want the Lin clan to eventually become a behemoth monster that could control the political situation in the world but could not control itself.
It is not surprising that there are three or five officials of the fourth and fifth grades in a family with one surname; However, a family with one surname can have three officials with real power, and it can already be regarded as a big family in the whole country.
Although Lin Tingli said that his ministry was still the general judgment of Dongyang Prefecture, he was already a doctor in the Zhengwupin Dynasty, and he actually controlled the Dongyang Township Yong with a force of 6,000 people, and became an important force in stabilizing the situation in Dongyang and even Jiangning. At this time, it is difficult to kick Shen Rong away from Dongyang, otherwise the position of Dongyang prefect will be in Lin Tingli's pocket.
With the further development of the situation, as long as the response is cautious, the power of the Lin clan is destined to be further strengthened, and the foundation of the Lin clan is becoming more and more difficult to shake the hostile forces.
Lin Tie was silent, Lin Tingli glanced at him sideways, and it was really hard to imagine how Lin Tie could do this in such a short period of time.
Lin Tingli arrived in Chongzhou two days earlier than Lin Xuwen, and his eldest son, Lin Xulu, lived in Chongzhou for nearly ten days and had a deeper understanding of the situation in Chongzhou. Compared with Lin Xuwen's presence in Jinhai and his presence in Dongyang, Lin Lian's foundation in Chongzhou is more profound, and it can almost be said that Chongzhou is controlled in his hands, and Han Zai, the consolation envoy sent by Yue Lengqiu and Wang Tian, has a very limited effect on Lin Lian. If it weren't for the fact that the terrain of Chongzhou was too undangerous, Lin Tingli believed that it would be possible for Lin to divide Chongzhou from one side.
In addition, Lin Tie is based on Chongzhou, he is based on Dongyang and Lin Xuwen is based on Jinhai, and the three places are connected by waterways and fleets, which actually forms a pattern with Chongzhou as the root body and Dongyang and Jinhai as the two wings. If the troubled times are coming, there is no chance to fight extremely expensive. Thinking of this, Lin Tingli was also faintly excited, and said secretly: Could it be that Lin Tie also has such a plan in his heart?
Although the terrain of Chongzhou is not good, it is better than the hinterland of Dongyang, which is deep in the Pingchuan. The development ideas of the key forest bindings are mainly focused on ships, the development of water transportation, the development of warships, and the development of water camps. The terrain of Chongzhou does not look good, and it seems that there is no danger to defend, but as long as Lin Jian has a strong and elite sailor, the crisscrossed water network, the sea in the east, and the wide Yangtze River in the south are the natural dangers that Chongzhou relies on to defend itself.
Lin Tingli vaguely thought of some things, but these things were far from being able to be put on the table to talk about them.
