Red Chamber Fellows: You Are Not Guilty

Time flies, time flies, and now Jia She has such a feeling.Busy time is not easy, although he is nominally keeping filial piety for Jia's mother, but the three years are not in vain.

Just looking at the steelmaking blast furnaces all over the empire and the coal mines mining everywhere, no one can say that he has wasted his time in the past three years.With high-purity steel, the army has begun to equip new firecrackers. Although they can't fire continuously, there is no danger of bombing.

The five princes asked him to become their apprentices, and they even changed the words of Prince Ping in a vicious way: Nianqing, Nianshen, Nianyi, Nianzhong, Nianno.It also stipulates to others that they are not allowed to call each other rankings, only words are allowed!

The emperor, who learned of this, sprayed Jia She's saliva all over his face: "What word did you say, whose child's name is this? It's not your own child, you can be trampled as much as you want, right?" ?” Others don’t mind, what the hell is the old fifth’s recitation.

Jia Amnesty wiped his saliva away, and said cheerfully to the emperor: "Who made them come later than Nian En? Besides, there is only one person in Nian En, but there are five of them. Only in this way can we let them know that I and Nian En are in the same line." .”

How come down in one continuous line, is this word used like this?The emperor had no choice but to stipulate that his son must be commensurate with his rank in the palace. Whoever dares to mention those damn words will hit the board first before speaking.The relationship between the several princes has been improved a lot - they have to remind each other and protect each other, or if it is someone else who is being punished today, it may be their turn tomorrow.

Fortunately, Jia Amnesty has already assigned them a division of labor: Eldest Prince, don't you think about grabbing territory every day? In other words, I leave the matter of military training to you. If you want to grab territory, you need someone.

Don't worry, second prince, just take care of steelmaking.No matter how powerful the First Prince and those people are, they are useless without firecrackers and guns. I am doing this for your own good, so that you can restrain him.So the second prince happily went to work with the blast furnace.

The third prince is also easy to handle, go, dig coal.What do they make steel without coal?You are the most important thing.Although the coal mine is a little dusty and the person is a little rough, the third prince is still happy every day.

The fourth prince is not easy to handle.You can say that he has no ambitions, but he has worked harder than those brothers in learning things.You say he is ambitious, but he is not very interested in going out to grab territory.This is not easy.After much deliberation, Jia Amnesty had no choice but to ask others: "Nian Zhong, what do you want to take care of?"

What the fourth prince Nian Zhong said made Jia She almost stumble: "I just want to take care of the three of them."

Even if you still can't let go of the empire, it's not good to admit it so generously in front of your good friends, right?But the words of the fourth prince are really amazing: "I want to take care of the food, no matter what they do, they have to eat. I want them all to beg me."

Come on, there is also a special person in charge of the promotion of improved seeds.

Whether the fifth prince reads or not doesn't need Jia Amnesty's arrangements. He has already been soaked in the shipyard and can't come out. It's hard for anyone to come. This prince wants to watch the first sea ship launch with his own eyes!

When Jia She reported the movements of his five sons to the emperor, the emperor was also surprised: "No one is fighting with anyone?" This is unscientific.

"Interests, they have something they are interested in doing, and they don't care about what others do." Jia She deeply felt that the emperor was a bumpkin who had never seen the world.

Knowing that the people in front of him must be laughing at him, the emperor is still very satisfied with the result - internal fighting consumes the most manpower and financial resources at any time.The emperor was naturally happy to see the results if the sons could not fight among themselves. Finally, he no longer had to look at his son every day like the Supreme Emperor, bickering and using knives for the chair under his buttocks.

Suddenly remembered something: "How many days have you not been to Daming Palace? Father has recited it several times."

Jia Amnesty was taken aback: "Is the old man all right?"

The emperor's expression was not very good. It turned out that he had more resentment than respect for his father, but all these years, his father was settled in Daming Palace, and his resentment dissipated: "The imperial doctor said that father is old. , I was too exhausted when I was young, I'm afraid..."

Jia Amnesty had already walked to the gate of the hall: "Why didn't you say it earlier."

It happened that Master Zhang asked to see the emperor, so he met Jia She.Jia Amnesty is not afraid of this Grand Scholar Zhang—this is the former Minister of the Household Department, who took his place after Jia Amnesty's uncle Zhang Qing Dingyou.

That's right, Zhang Dashi, Zhang Qing, and Ding You are gone.It was Mrs. Zhang who went.In the second year after Xing Xiuyan married into Zhang's family, that is, less than a year after Jia's mother left, the old man died.

Jia Amnesty cried like a fool, guarding the coffin with other sons, carrying the coffin together, and weaving reeds together. Anyway, he did what a son should do, and he was much more dedicated than when Jia's mother was in funeral.

Zhang Qing naturally went to Ding You, and the emperor wanted to win his love, but Jia She persuaded him: "Your Majesty, you have good intentions, but in the eyes of the world, there are few people who see good people, and many people see evil. Even today The emperor, if you win your love, he can still be in love with his elder brother."

The emperor thought it was reasonable, so he agreed to Zhang Qing's request.However, in the past two years, Zhang Qing has not been carefree, and Jia Amnesty has already sent him to Prince Ping's academy to be a free gentleman.

He also talked about Jia She of Daming Palace, seeing the old Dai Quan, he also felt a little emotional: "Eunuch Dai is old too."

Dai Quan can take it easy. He has been with the Supreme Emperor all his life, and he has never seen anything: "To be honest, our family still watched the Duke grow up. Now the Duke is the one who has grandchildren. , can our family not grow old?"

Jia Amnesty also smiled self-consciously, because he has been busy for the past few years, he has ignored his own age and thought that everyone else is the same as him.But he forgot that for him it was to open a new world, but for the Supreme Emperor and Dai Quan, it was just waiting for death in the old world.

But he still persuaded: "Elder-in-law, don't think too much about your age. Even the Supreme Emperor is persuading. Now cement roads are paved everywhere, and even the carriages have been improved. You can go out for a walk if you have nothing to do."

Dai Quan felt his sincerity, with a smile on the corner of his mouth: "Thank you, Lord Guo, for still thinking about this old slave. It's just that this old slave has been used to serving the old master all his life. If the master doesn't want to move, the old slave doesn't want to move either."

While speaking, he had already entered the palace, and the Supreme Emperor didn't get up much, he just rested on the couch by himself.The old man in front of Jia Amnesty, the wrinkles on his face portrayed the years, and the white hair on his head recorded the wind and frost.Even those wise eyes have become cloudy, and the throat that used to be able to spray himself without drinking a sip of water for an hour is even hoarse.

Without disturbing the old man, Jia Amnesty just quietly sat on the floor in front of the old man's bed.Look at it well.This old man can be regarded as a wise master, who sacrificed one son after another for the stability of the country.You can't say that he is a faint king. This can be seen from the stable development of the empire under his rule and the successor he has chosen.

But he is really not a good father.He first gave the prince great trust, but then took it back with his own hands, so that the prince felt desperate.He also gave Zhongping and Zhongan honors that they shouldn't have, and made them have thoughts that they shouldn't have.But when it comes to dealing with it, it is still merciless.

Whether it is said that he is an emperor's mind, or that he is starting from the overall situation, time has not let him go.After losing several sons in succession, the old man let go of the power he had held for decades, and only stayed in the Daming Palace, waiting for the last time to come.

Dai Quan was about to get a cushion for Jia She, but the Supreme Emperor had already opened his eyes: "When did you come, why didn't you wake me up?"

Jia Amnesty immediately showed a smiling face: "It's rare to be able to guard the Supreme Emperor for a while, how can I be willing to shout."

The Supreme Emperor just smiled: "They are all grandfathers, and they are still so tired."

Jia Amnesty only gagged: "Even if I become a great-grandfather, in front of you, I'm afraid I'll still be the child who keeps pulling on your pants."

"Children," the Supreme Emperor's voice was a bit vague: "Not all of them are children." Then the voice became clearer: "I heard from the emperor that you have taken care of the princes very well."

Jia Amnesty couldn't help sighing: "How can I take care of children. It's not that the emperor insisted on giving me people. It happens that there is a lack of people everywhere in my place, so I put them wherever they are needed."

The Supreme Emperor shook his head, and his eyes became brighter: "It's the place that can be used, so it's hard to find. In this regard, I am not as good as the emperor. I always think that I am the emperor and everything is under control. He ignored people's hearts."

What you ignore is not the human heart, but your own heart.It's just that now Jia She only felt that the old man in front of him might not have many days to live, and he didn't want to argue with him again, he just said: "The emperor was not taught by you alone."

The Supreme Emperor became interested in arguing: "I didn't bring it out, it was the prince, and the prince brought him up from a young age."

Saying this is even more meaningless.Jia Amnesty didn't even have the interest to play tricks.Seeing that he didn't speak, the Supreme Emperor didn't say anything.The two of them were lying down and sitting next to each other, as if they had talked a lot, but at the same time they seemed to have said nothing.

"Are you still blaming me?" Taishanghuang asked after a long time.

Jia Amnesty didn't hide it from him: "It turned out to be resentment. You were only showing a little trust in the prince's brother at that time, so you wouldn't make it to the final step, but you didn't say a word from the beginning to the end. But now, still What are you complaining about?"

The Supreme Emperor was a little excited: "Are you pitying me?" He actually used his own name.

Jia Amnesty still had the same tone: "Your Majesty, why don't you just talk about it? In the past few years, you have truly delegated power to the Emperor. Only when there is no restraint, can we let go of our arms to do these things. If you Sincerely, which of those princes can stand up to your instigation?"

"But you didn't do anything. You have contributed a lot to the development of this empire. In this regard, it's too late for me to respect you. How can I pity you? Please have pity on me."

"In this world, there is no grievance that can't be eliminated with sincere repentance. Just think about it, how many elders do I have in this world? My father-in-law is one, so why don't you count as one? With the two of you watching, I dare not make mistakes, think and do things that are rebellious in the eyes of others."

"You live well, you all live well, so I have the confidence to continue." Jia Amnesty looked into the eyes of the Supreme Emperor and expressed his current thoughts.
