Red Chamber Fellows: You Are Not Guilty

Just when Jia Amnesty and Mrs. Xing were having difficulty deciding on Jia Cong's marriage, someone had already knocked the wooden clock against the Supreme Emperor.Of course not ordinary people, the current body of Emperor Ether, ordinary people can no longer see him as an old man.

The person who came was from the clan of the Supreme Emperor's generation, he was regarded as the cousin of the Supreme Emperor.His father is also a character. Although he didn't have any great achievements, he did not stand on the wrong side after several changes in the throne.In order to show their kindness to the clan, several generations of emperors have treated their family well.So this person still has the title of a county king—Li Junwang.

The Supreme Emperor is old and misses the past, and the more his generation sees withering, the more patient he is with this cousin.So as soon as the person came to see him, he was called into the Daming Palace.After the conversation between the two, this one had already stated his intentions: he had a granddaughter in his family, who was about the same age as the young case chief, and hoped that the Supreme Emperor would marry her.

If this cousin asked for another family, the Supreme Emperor might agree.But the target was Jia Amnesty, and the Supreme Emperor muttered: This cousin is about the same age as him, but he got married earlier than him.The youngest son is a concubine, and he is already close to no doubt.Based on this calculation, the identity of his little granddaughter is nothing more than a concubine.

Concubine's concubine!The Supreme Emperor is about to make his cousin angry. Even if he is a royal family, his fingers are uneven, and there are highs and lows.This son from the concubine will only be reduced to the position of a duke in the future. Whether the youngest son from the concubine can get the title is still a matter of debate.

Thinking of this, the Supreme Emperor's heart moved, and he said to the cousin in front of him: "How old is your little granddaughter now? I remember that it should be the year of marriage soon."

The king of Li County replied very straightforwardly: "Thank you for your concern, brother, I still remember the age of my little granddaughter. It's not that she will be ready for school next year."

Haha, how embarrassing.The Supreme Emperor didn't know whether to laugh or cry, so he had to remind the person in front of him: "But that Jia Cong just turned twelve." Which of your eyes can tell that the two are about the same age?

King Nali didn't care much: "Didn't you hear that the female junior is holding a gold brick? Besides, she is not yet three years old."

If the Supreme Emperor hadn't been physically weak, he would have been able to give him a slap in the face. How could he have such a big face, thinking that he is a clan, so he is really a golden branch and a jade leaf?Every tree has crooked branches.He didn't want to pay any attention to the people who came, and just waved his hand to call Dai Quan: "I'm tired, I'd better send a present to the king of the county to leave the palace, and I'll talk when I'm energetic." If I'm energetic, I won't call you.

Prince Li still wanted to ask blankly if this was feasible, but the Supreme Emperor turned over and fell asleep.Standing there, Dai Quan signaled the Prince of Li with his eyes to whisper, and led the people to the gate of Daming Palace, and only asked a little eunuch to send them to the gate of the palace.

The more the King of Li Jun thought about it, the more angry he was. Originally, he had planned well. After all, Jia Cong himself had a title.In addition, I heard that the Dingguo government's family was separated this time, and they got a lot of money.Thinking about his young age, he knows how to manage things, and he has been separated from the mansion, so he naturally has to rely on the Yue family for help.

Just right!My concubine is not a virtuous person, she only does superficial tricks on her concubine sons, looks delicious and easy to use, but in reality it is nothing more than flattery.As a result, all the concubines are proficient in cockfighting and running dogs, and it is difficult to establish a family.Once one day goes by, it won't take a few years before he will be defeated.The off-the-shelf can pull one, and it is a matter of fame and profit, the county king immediately went to the Supreme Emperor with the cheek.

Unexpectedly, the Supreme Emperor did not agree.Concubine, and concubine.Prince Li was very angry.Back then, if his grandfather hadn't been a concubine, the great person might not have had the power to compete.Just to get out of the concubine, I had to make a prince.It's just that my father understood what happened, so he came here without being downgraded, and retained the position of the county king. Otherwise, what is the difference between his mansion and the ordinary idle clan?

Isn't that Jia Cong also a concubine?Isn't it a perfect match with your little granddaughter?What's more, her granddaughter is of royal blood, the most noble blood in the world.It is precisely because of his noble status and being a woman's family that it is not easy to rush to find someone to propose marriage, so the Prince of Lijun thought of asking the Supreme Emperor to marry him, what a decent thing.

Since the Supreme Emperor refused to give his family this dignity, he could also marry his little granddaughter into Jia's family - if he didn't believe in the granddaughter of his majestic county king, then Jia Amnesty dared not agree, but he was just a prince.

But I can't just tell people bluntly, my family has a granddaughter who wants to marry your son, let's fix the date sometime.That's not what a prince would do.It is still necessary to find someone to say euphemistically, if Jia Amnesty is sensible, he will naturally come to propose marriage for his son himself.

It's just that it's not so easy to find candidates to deal with.After all, the king of Lijun seldom even goes to court on weekdays. Except for the grand court meeting where the pen is sealed and opened every year, he has always been happy at home.If you don't go to court, you know those same clans, but such people look down on the original Rongguo Mansion and disdain to associate with it.He can't climb up to the current Dingguo mansion, and has no way to communicate with it.

Think about it, really think about it.Li Junwang thought about the person who would be the matchmaker.

A few days passed, but King Li still couldn't think of a candidate.His most favored youngest son has already rushed to his study angrily: "Father, didn't you say that you want Yinger to be the youngest son of the Jia family?"

The king of Lijun has always looked at his youngest son, otherwise he would not be able to work so hard for his concubine daughter.He is very fatherly and authentic: "What's the hurry, my father is thinking about who to talk to Jia's family, so as not to lose the dignity of our palace."

"Talking, what are you talking about?" The youngest son was already in a panic: "I was in the Lichun Courtyard just now, and I heard the second son of the Ministry of Industry Shangshu's family complain that the Jia family didn't like their girl. The family of the left servant of the household department is about to place a small order."

Prince Li could not accept it.Why haven't I told anyone yet, they are about to make a small order?Could it be?Thinking of a possibility, Prince Li felt a little guilty.Since his grandfather's generation, he has been a cautious person, living by trying to figure out the emperor's mind.

The Supreme Emperor did not agree to his request that day, he came back and said that he was the one who was thinking about delivering the message, so why didn't he mean to wait and see?The Supreme Emperor never called him into the palace to speak again.That is to say, the Supreme Emperor is not satisfied with what he asked, and it will keep him cold for a while.

"This Jia Amnesty really doesn't know how to praise. He dares to despise the good royal blood in my family. Let's see if I give him a good look someday!" The youngest son uttered harsh words angrily.

"Shut up." Lijun Wang stopped his son: "This matter is rotten in my stomach, and even your daughter-in-law and girl have given me instructions."

The youngest son was still not convinced: "Father, then Jia Amnesty gave us such a shame, how could we let him go so easily."

Looking at the youngest son who should have established a family a long time ago, but is still on his way, the Prince of Li County sighed again and again: "Who in your family has told others about the intention of getting married? They have seen your daughter, is it flat or round? Hurry up!" Shut up, if you tell this matter yourself, your girl will still marry or not."

The youngest son was still muttering about his dissatisfaction, and it was the first time that Prince Li became upset when he saw the youngest son.What kind of treasured sword is not old, what is old age, it is clearly a person who has not accomplished enough but failed.

When the youngest son let King Li out of the study room for the first time in his life, King Li himself broke out in cold sweat on his back—only those who depend on the emperor to live a good life found that he was no longer willing to let him rely on him.And the reason why he didn't want to let others rely on him was because he was so cautious that others would see through him, and it was no wonder he couldn't break out in a cold sweat.

What to do with his family's palace in the future is now a headache for Prince Li. What kind of little granddaughter is just a concubine, and it would be worthy of her to find someone with a flat head and a full face.

In the Daming Palace, the Supreme Emperor rarely called the Emperor, Zhongshun and Jia Amnesty together, probably because he had found something to do, and the old man’s spirit recovered a bit: "It is not a good thing for the clan to be too rich. How many families only care about their children, anyway, there is a national treasury If you keep them, you can have more money and food if you have more children.”

The emperor and Jia Amnesty couldn't accept this remark—after a few generations, Zhongshun's descendants were also included in the clan.Only Zhongshun said without hesitation: "If Tai/Zu hadn't formulated the law of preferential treatment to the clan at that time, it wouldn't have become an unstoppable trend at the end of today."

The emperor gave him a blank look: "Nonsense. There were only a few people in the Tai/zu's clan at that time, and he fought with his old man. It is justified not to be treated preferentially? People say that the emperor's family has three poor relatives. The royal blood, It really can make them beg for food."

"However, it has been more than a hundred years since the founding of the country. Have you counted how many people are in the clan now? These people don't talk about the nobles and the money and rice, and many of them even take other people's fields as hidden households. Last time, it was supposed to be investigated. It's not because the clan insisted on resisting the investigation." Zhongshun was stingy about the failure to investigate the hidden household.

The matter of hidden households is indeed a serious problem for the country.The Supreme Emperor looked at the three people in front of him: "I just investigated the officials, and now I am mobilizing the gentry, I am afraid that some villains will make trouble."

This is possible, as far as Jia She knew, the cold-faced emperor who did not appear in this time and space died of exhaustion just because of these things that day before the court case.He thought for a while and said: "Actually, we can set the tone for those people first, and explain to the world the dangers of being a hidden household. The reason why those people became hidden households is to avoid tax money. But tax money everywhere is There is a fixed number, if these people don’t pay, someone has to make up for them. What about those gentry? They don’t pay taxes at all. So only the common people are the ones who will suffer in the end.”

Let the common people see through the face of the so-called gentry first, and no one will believe their slanderous words.Everyone felt that this plan was feasible, Qi Qi looked at Jia She.

Jia Amnesty wanted to slap himself in the face.He obviously has the intention of quitting, and he has arranged things almost, so what's the point of talking at this time.
