Detective in the Red Chamber

On the other hand, Uncle Zhao Guo kept saying that he wanted to uphold justice for the stone nerd, and it didn't look like he could negotiate peace.

So there was a stalemate between the two.

Jia Amnesty is a hobgoblin, and Uncle Zhao Guo is also a man of death, and they are riveted on each other, neither of them is willing to give in. On the contrary, Jia Yucun is caught in the middle, running around in a hurry.

The first one that the stone nerd wanted to sue was of course Jia Amnesty, who took advantage of the robbery; but the second one to sue was Jia Yucun's turn as an accomplice.

Both sides are relatives of the emperor, if it really happened in front of the emperor, Jia Amnesty may not be able to do anything, but Jia Yucun will definitely suffer—whether he was instigated or not, the charge of abusing his power is a certainty.

Therefore, in the past few days, Jia Yucun has also tried to find ways to turn the two sides into friendship.

But in the final analysis, this matter really involved a dispute over imperial lineage—although Jia Yuanchun’s child hadn’t been born yet, the Taoist priests had collectively concluded that she was probably pregnant with a son—who would back down at this moment?

In the end, Jia Yucun not only failed to achieve his goal, but because of repeated persuasion, Jia She was annoyed and ordered him to settle Zhao Guoshu as soon as possible, otherwise he should not be recognized as an 'uncle'.

But Jia Yucun can't even deal with him, so how can he deal with Uncle Zhao Guo?

What's more, Uncle Zhao Guo also occupies the double high ground of morality and law.

When Jia Yucun was at his wit's end, he suddenly saw Sun Shaozong in the team just now, and immediately thought of it.

Although Sun Shaozong didn't have any deep friendship with Uncle Zhao, he was the Crown Prince's confidant - this Uncle Zhao didn't sell other people's face, how could he not even care about the Prince's face?

So Jia Yucun begged in front of Sun Shaozong.

However, for Sun Shaozong, this matter is not so easy to handle.

After all, the Crown Prince's fear and hatred towards the Rongguo Mansion is probably higher than that of the Niu's family, which has already been destroyed. Wouldn't it be a dream come true to ask him to come forward and wipe Jia She's ass?

But what...

But it’s not enough to reject Jia Yucun directly. After all, Sun Shaozong doesn’t want Jia Yucun to hate him—this guy is a proper villain, and he is an extremely smart villain. Had to keep one eye open.

Ok……

Let's see how the son's appearance is going to be. If it's okay, maybe I can take advantage of the trend.

If the crown prince failed to appear on the stage, or caused the emperor to be furious, then it goes without saying that this matter is useless.

At that time, I should be able to fool Jia Yucun with this reason.

…………

However, after Sun Shaozong made up his mind, he waited for about half an hour before he saw that two of the three gates were opened—this is already a great honor, after all, under normal circumstances, civil and military officials can only open two of them. The tuck door in and out.

However, with the sound of the horn of the horn of "woo woo", the officials who had already received the order immediately divided into two rows on the left and right, and filed in under the leadership of the Minister of Officials and the Minister of Rites respectively.

Speaking of which, this was the first time for Sun Shaozong to enter the imperial palace through the Meridian Gate since he traveled through time—in the past, he either went through the Xuanwu Gate or the Xihua Gate.

So he was a little curious, scanning around while following the team.

After crossing the Jinshui Bridge and passing through the Zhaode Gate, you will see clusters of flowers already arranged on the platform in front of the Hall of Supreme Harmony.

Facing the gate of the Hall of Supreme Harmony, a two-foot-high stage was set up. At this time, the stage was bustling with people dressed in red and green.

These are all actors raised in the palace, so the standard is naturally not to be picked.

But today's protagonists are not them.

In the stone fences on both sides of the Hall of Supreme Harmony, there were quite a few court ladies and eunuchs standing, all dressed up in brocade clothes and ribbons, obviously they were also going to participate in the performance.

If it's just palace maids and eunuchs, then naturally they can't be the protagonists -- besides, if it's just these humble ones, there's no need to deliberately distinguish them from actors.

So when he saw this battle, Sun Shaozong guessed that the concubines in the palace must be among them.

Sure enough, when he got a little closer, he saw a familiar face - Concubine Rong who was expecting to conceive in Jingren Palace with Jia Yuanchun.

In fact, apart from this concubine Rong, when Sun Shaozong went to and from the court, Zeng Yuanyuan also met several other concubines, but there were so many people that it was really hard to tell them apart.

Only Concubine Rong was petite, but she held a pair of 'weapons', which dazzled like searchlights from a distance, and it was hard not to notice it.

Sun Shaozong silently paid attention to him, and couldn't help thinking about Concubine Rong's mood at this time.

Especially when he saw that in front of the sixteen screens in the center, there were three tables arranged in the shape of a character, Sun Shaozong felt that this woman was even more pitiful and pitiful.

They were originally expecting to conceive in Jingren Palace, although they also had high status in terms of status, there was no difference in treatment.

But now, she is waiting on both sides to entertain people with sex, but Jia Yuanchun has almost obtained the status equivalent to a queen.

Even an oversized murder weapon is no match for a womb weapon!

Seeing that the table was about to be seated, Sun Shaozong was about to look away from Concubine Rong, but suddenly saw an acquaintance——Princess Concubine!

The princess also wants to perform at home?

Although colorful clothes entertaining relatives is something that has existed since ancient times, but at this sensitive juncture, the Crown Princess is allowed to show her face...

Could it be that the emperor has already made up his mind to take back the crown prince? !

Chapter 776 Above the Birthday Banquet [Part [-]]

Although the people who entered the palace for the banquet this time were at least officials from the fourth rank.

But Sun Shaozong's seat is not low, he can be regarded as squeezed into the midfield and only a few steps away from the VIP seats.

This is because Dali Temple is the head of the five temples, and there is no position for the fourth rank in the six divisions, so he can almost be ranked among the top five among the fourth ranks.

Those who can stand shoulder to shoulder with him are only a few people, such as the right and left of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, Qiandu Yushi, and Guozijian Jijiu.

These are top-level and light civil positions, and generally only officials from the Imperial Academy can hold them.

Rude guys like Sun Shaozong were mixed in, whether it was a standout or a fake, anyway, except for the first few greetings, Sun Shaozong's weight of more than 200 catties was intentionally or unintentionally ignored by them.

Sun Shaozong was also happy to relax, took a cup of half-warm tea, sipped it one after another, and silently recalled the fleeting scene just now.

That should be the princess.

But thinking about it carefully, although she was surrounded by several dancers, she was wearing a graceful palace attire, and she didn't seem to be going on stage to perform.

But since she wasn't going to perform on stage, why did she go hang out with some dancing girls?

And even though she couldn't see clearly from a distance, she could vaguely tell that she was telling something nervously.

Could it be that……

Suddenly, a flash of inspiration flashed in Sun Shaozong's mind, and he turned his head to look at the stage in the north.

"Sun Shaoqing."

However, at this moment, a feminine voice suddenly came to his ears, and Sun Shaozong subconsciously raised his head to follow the prestige, and saw a little eunuch with his back bent, looking at him behind him.

"Sun Shaoqing."

Seeing Sun Shaozong looking back, the little eunuch leaned back again, but He Xu said without a smile: "Your Majesty ordered you to go to Wenzhao Pavilion to meet him."

See you?

Sun Shaozong couldn't help being slightly taken aback. Although he knew that the court would never do it, he turned a blind eye to what happened two days ago.

But compared to the birthday banquet to be held today, his little things are really nothing.

Summoning him at this time, wouldn't it be a waste of money?

Although I was puzzled in my heart, who would dare to neglect the slightest when the emperor issued an order to summon him?

Sun Shaozong hurriedly got up from the futon, cupped his hands and said, "Your father is in trouble", and then followed the little eunuch to Wenzhao Pavilion in the southeast.

This Wen Zhao Pavilion is usually used to preserve documents and classics, but because it is relatively close to the Hall of Supreme Harmony, it has been temporarily changed to a turnover and relay place.

Before the birthday banquet officially started, the emperor chatted with the royal family and cabinet ministers here.

However, Sun Shaozong bumped into two acquaintances unexpectedly as soon as he arrived at the gate of Wenzhao Pavilion.

The person in front was still at home yesterday; the name of the person in the back has just been mentioned by Jia Yucun more than a dozen times.

And at this moment, these two people are standing on both sides of the gate of Wenzhao Pavilion like gods, one is looking at each other and gnashing his teeth;

How did these two get together?

Sun Shaozong hesitated and slowed down his pace, but he still alarmed them. The aggrieved face was overjoyed at the moment, regardless of being in the palace, he raised his voice and shouted: "Second brother, why are you here?!"

This person is Jia Baoyu!

And the angry middle-aged man opposite him was the queen's younger brother, Uncle Zhao.

Uncle Zhao Guo opened his mouth to say hello when he saw Sun Shaozong, but when he heard Jia Baoyu's friendly call, he snorted coldly and said nothing with a sullen face.

tsk~

This guy is quite jealous!

Sun Shaozong felt more and more helpless, at the moment when the crown prince was trying his best to stabilize the situation, the one or two around him either despised the military officer, or they had no city power and were full of joy and anger.

When Zhuge Liang was protecting Adou, at least there were still a few capable generals available.

But these old guys...

Hey~

Sighing in his heart, Sun Shaozong hurriedly signaled with his eyes to ask Jia Baoyu not to come over to talk to him, so as not to further irritate Uncle Zhao Guo.

Then he stood in front of the door impartially, waiting quietly for the little eunuch to go in and report.

During this period, Jia Baoyu hesitated to speak several times, and Uncle Zhao even sneered, but Sun Shaozong acted as if he hadn't seen it, and stood with his hands down.

Fortunately, this embarrassing scene didn't last long - after a while, the little eunuch turned back and led Sun Shaozong into the hall.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he entered the door, he found that this was another embarrassing place.

I saw a dozen or so people lined up on the left and right in the hall, most of them were standing bowed, but there were also a few sitting on high-backed chairs.

Sitting on the left are two unfamiliar faces, but Liang Guanmianfu should be the emperor's two younger brothers, King Yishun and King Zhongshun.

There was nothing between the two old brothers, but the two on the opposite side were the ones who mattered most—King Zhongshun who was in the first place, and King Beijing who was sitting in the second place.

These two are old enemies, and the hatred between them is far better than the two 'uncles' outside the door.

He took the central seat again, but there was no trace of the emperor, so the embarrassment of the scene can be imagined.

Seeing Sun Shaozong coming in from outside, the reaction of these two people was similar to that of the "enemies" outside - King Zhongshun snorted coldly and looked away; Sun Shaozong nodded in greeting.

Speaking of...

If these two knew about Sun Shaozong's romantic affair on the lake a few days ago, their expressions would probably be switched.

Just as he was thinking about what was there, the little eunuch who led the way suddenly pointed to a corridor in the southeast corner, and said, "Master Sun, please, Your Majesty and the elders are waiting inside."

Firstly, Sun Shaozong had a guilty conscience, and secondly, he really did not dare to be negligent, so he hurriedly bowed into the tunnel.

As soon as I entered, I saw the emperor was sitting a dozen steps away, facing the entrance of this corridor.

Sun Shaozong didn't dare to look too much, so he hurried a few steps and knelt down in front of the emperor, reporting his family background: "My minister, Sun Shaozong, I'm here to see you, your Majesty, long live, long live."

There is no need to add the following words, but isn't the emperor celebrating his birthday today?

"Get up and talk."

As usual, the emperor first excused him from kneeling.

This reassured Sun Shaozong, it seemed that at least the emperor was not angry with him.

When he got up from the ground, the emperor asked again: "I heard that a few days ago, you had a dispute with Zhou Chang, the servant of the household department? What did you say at that time, let me tell you from the beginning."

Huh?

This didn't ask about the non-compliance of the resistance order, but instead went straight to the point, asking about the conflict with Zhou Chang.

Sun Shaozong was thoughtful in his heart, but his mouth was full of words, and he recounted the conversation at that time.

After he finished speaking, he pricked up his ears again, hoping to hear how the emperor would judge.

Who would have thought that the emperor was silent for a while, and only replied lightly: "I understand, you go down first."

This……

Is this the end?

Sun Shaozong was a little dazed, until the chief minister of the cabinet, He Tiren, waved his sleeves at him, and he finally reacted, and hurriedly bowed and retreated.

With this retreat, he retreated directly to the square in front of the Hall of Supreme Harmony.

But until sitting back to his original position, Sun Shaozong still felt baffled.

Even if you are suspicious of Zhou Chang, you don't have to call yourself over, and then send him back with another sentence, right?
