The son of the red mansion is unscrupulous

"How was the governor of Guangdong captured?"

As the saying goes, when the emperor is angry, the blood flows into the oars. Now in the court, the emperor Shui Mu is angry, and all the civil and military officials in the court, there is not even a single person to speak.

"They're all dumb? Could it be that the thieves have already hit the Governor's Mansion in Guangdong?"

There was no sound in the hall, and many officials had itchy throats, but they dared not make any noise.

"My lord, there is no definite news at the moment. It's still better not to be impatient and mention it later." Seeing that no one spoke, Prince Zhongshun had no choice but to stand up, "For the present plan..."

"One of the great officials of the frontier was kidnapped, and he wants me to be safe?" Shui Mu laughed back angrily.

Prince Zhongshun didn't dare to speak in front of Shui Muqi, he just lowered his head and waited quietly for others to speak.

"Which adult can lead the army? Prince Nan'an?"

"The minister is here."

Shui Mu nodded, and asked again: "Where is General Shenwu?"

No one answered after this sound, and it took a long time for someone to say: "... General Shenwu is currently operating troops in the Beijing camp."

"The majestic General Shenwu has been overqualified to such an extent!" Shui Mu slammed his fist on his knee, sighed with shame on his face, and hurriedly said: "Quickly order General Shenwu to return to the city, and quickly enter the palace to discuss with the Prince of Nan'an and others. Policy."

"According to the order."

"Your Majesty, be safe and don't be impatient. It may be that the south has been peaceful for decades, and there was a little storm at the time. The officials in Guangdong have never seen this posture and made a fuss. It is unknown if the news is wrong. On the contrary, it will make the people of one side panic.”

"I don't know what kind of trivial matter can make one of my officials make such a fuss!" Shui Mu hesitated for a while, and then said, "Quickly send my order to Guangxi Governor Kuang Yanbing, ordering him to go to Guangxi to sit in charge immediately."

Prince Zhongshun's brows twitched and twitched. He wanted to ask the Supreme Emperor to discuss it before bringing it up. He felt that the whole room was silent. He immediately carried the front of the official robe to the Taishang Palace, halfway in the palace lane, and saw the eunuch in charge of the Daming Palace rushing over. Seeing Dai Quan holding the secret book in his hand, he stood at the corner of the wall and waited for him.

"Eunuch Dai, is this booklet intended to be presented to the Supreme Emperor?" Prince Zhongshun wiped his forehead with a handkerchief.

Dai Quan said with a bitter face: "Exactly." He asked Prince Zhongshun to go the same way, and he couldn't help but said: "My lord, do you think the governor of Guangdong is evil or lucky?"

Prince Zhongshun shook his head, "I only wonder if there are well-behaved people in the governor's mansion, even if they go out, there will be people swarming around them. How could something happen for no reason?"

Dai Quan nodded in agreement.

"Which adult sent this booklet?"

Dai Quan hurriedly said: "My lord, don't embarrass our family." After walking a few steps, he paused and sighed: "The Rongguo mansion is pitiful. The girl from the Xu family married in, and the young couple have only been reunited for a month. They separated for more than two years, and now, something happened to the governor, and I don't know what happened to the second master Lian. The Jia family blocked the door to ask questions, and our family didn't dare to give a letter." After finishing speaking, he sighed repeatedly, remembering Jia Lian said that he wanted to relieve Shui Mu's worries, but he wondered if it was Jia Lian who made it happen today.

Prince Zhongshun vaguely remembered that Jia's family also came to beg him this morning, but he just cared about Hong and Long so he ignored it.

While speaking, the two entered the palace of the Supreme Emperor.

Because of the urgent matter, the two entered the palace, and without waiting, they were led by the little eunuch into the daily living room of the Supreme Emperor. They saw the calming incense in the room so strong that it made one's forehead ache. For a game of chess pieces, the Supreme Emperor's thoughts are not on the chessboard at all.

In addition to some delicate objects on the couch where the Supreme Emperor was sitting, the table on the ground was empty, not even a small decorative screen. It was obvious that the Supreme Emperor was too angry and hadn't asked people to put new objects on it.

"The Supreme Emperor..." Prince Zhongshun's voice became hoarse as soon as he spoke.

The Emperor Taishang obviously just calmed down, ignored Prince Zhongshun for now, only took the secret booklet from Dai Quan, read the booklet once, sneered, and threw the booklet back.

"Taishanghuang, today I said that he was angry in the court for a while, so he ordered the governor of Guangxi to go to Guangdong to sit in the town. What is going on now, I have to ask the Taishanghuang to show me." Dai Quan said anxiously.

"You are not joking, since it is the Holy Majesty who speaks, it is natural to act according to the Holy Majesty's will." The Supreme Emperor said.

Prince Zhongshun's eyelids kept twitching, and he always felt that the emperor's attitude was abnormal.

"Yes." Dai Quan agreed, took the secret book with both hands, and retreated respectfully.

"The Supreme Emperor!" Prince Zhongshun immediately bowed two steps forward after Dai Quan left, and said respectfully, "The Supreme Emperor must never! There is a saying that it is easier to invite God than to send God away. Besides, since Yan Bing went to Guangdong as the governor of Guangxi, In the future, he will not be far from being the Governor of Guangdong and Guangxi!"

The Supreme Emperor took a deep breath, and suddenly picked up the enamel teacup in his hand and threw it at Prince Zhongshun's face, and when the teacup fell to the thick rug on the floor with a muffled bang, his anger was as dull as that There was a loud sound, and there was nowhere to vent when he was about to vent, "You bastards! If you weren't so bold, you wouldn't let someone take advantage of your loopholes!"

"What does the Supreme Emperor mean by this? The officials and others are conscientious and do not dare to be sloppy..."

"Hmph! Do you know that I don't know what you have done?" The Supreme Emperor sneered endlessly. Seeing Prince Zhongshun raised his head in astonishment, he sneered again, "What a boldness. Heart letter! I never thought that you would have the guts to conspire with foreign enemies!"

"The Supreme Emperor, the minister is terrified! The minister dare not..."

"Why do you think Hong and Long were taken into captivity?" The Taishang Emperor sneered, "He had a private relationship with those thieves, and he took the opportunity to be taken away by the thieves in order to meet the thieves. , not only is not far from the governor of Guangdong and Guangxi, but even I am also shamed."

Lord Zhongshun listened to the training with his head down, but he didn't doubt whether the news that the Supreme Emperor had received was true or not. He only felt that since Hong Helong had done business with overseas fans, it was inevitable that they would make an appointment with them. Maybe it was him who made the appointment. It is not known that those thieves attacked him at that time; but it is strange that Hong and Long were entrusted by him to buy and sell firearms. It seems that someone is going to murder them. The person who murdered them is almost the King of Beijing. , In this way, it will inevitably leave future troubles, and Jiayu Village will not be able to stay; thinking about it, he secretly rejoiced that the Supreme Emperor did not know about firearms, so he said: "I don't know where the Supreme Emperor heard the news? Could it be that Dai Quan just sent it?" The secret book here?"

The Supreme Emperor shook his head, and said in a low voice: "Yesterday, the news spread to the palace, and the emperor came to tell me in person."

"Your Majesty, you know?" Prince Zhongshun was speechless, and wondered that there were Hong and Long people in Guangdong, how could no one cover it up for him?Thinking about it, he expressed his doubts.

"Of course it's the note that Kuang Yanbing handed over."

"Your Majesty, then Yan Bing can't believe it." Prince Zhongshun let out a soft breath.

The Supreme Emperor sneered and said, "Guangdong did not dare to report the governor's hijacking news. If Kuang Yanbing hadn't handed over the report, half of the country would have been lost. The emperor and I still feel that the world is at peace. You step back, now, we are not talking It's time, wait until the crisis in Guangdong is over, and then worry about this matter."

"Yes." Prince Zhongshun was full of doubts, wishing to arrest Kou Guan immediately and torture him to find out everything, and then asked tentatively: "Could it be true that there is going to be a war? But there are some rumors in Guangdong, and the lord wants the prince and the general to send troops to fight against him." , is it a bit of a fuss?"

The Supreme Emperor frowned slightly, "I don't know how Hong Helong, the official, kept the news of the Japanese pirates' repeated attacks so tight. If he hadn't been taken captive, these news might not have reached our ears. Yesterday we Hearing that the emperor meant to send troops there, he took the opportunity to recommend the prince of Nan'an and General Shenwu. Even if he didn't fight, he asked General Shenwu to go to Guangdong to stay for three or five years. Hearing the emperor's promise at that time, I agreed. I feel strange, as expected, he is going to order the governor of Guangxi to sit in Guangdong today."

Prince Zhongshun thought in his heart that the Supreme Emperor and the Emperor had already confronted each other about who should be in the Guangdong family, and said in a low voice: "I still wonder that Old General Feng has not met the Holy Spirit for several years, so why does the Lord think of him again? It turned out that it was recommended by the Supreme Emperor."

"Feng Tang was very stubborn when he was young. Now that he is old, he has changed his temper. Unfortunately, he is too old now." The Supreme Emperor sighed, feeling that only these veterans were available around him, and he couldn't help feeling sad.

Prince Zhongshun smiled and said: "I think the Supreme Emperor is a nobleman who forgets too much and forgets about Prince Teng who is in Guangxi. Otherwise, if the Supreme Emperor asked the emperor to send Wang Ziteng to Guangdong last night, now there is no governor in Guangxi." Sitting in the town, it also saves Nan'an Prince and General Shenwu from rushing to Guangdong at a young age."

The Supreme Emperor was startled, thought for a while, and couldn't remember who Wang Ziteng came from. He sneered and said: "You are an afterthought. If you really plan like this, I am afraid that the emperor will not save me some face. Let me tell you why Hong and Long were taken into captivity."

Prince Zhongshun's heart tightened, and he also felt that now is not the time to confront today's situation. Moreover, the emperor sent the Governor of Guangxi to go, and the Supreme Emperor transferred the Prince of Nan'an and General Shenwu, so the emperor and the Supreme Emperor were on equal footing. Thinking about it, he quit. After coming out of the palace, he got into the sedan chair when he heard that the Rongguo Mansion had sent someone to ask about Jia Lian's news.

Prince Zhongshun sent away the people of Rongguo Mansion with a guilty conscience, and when he was about to return to the mansion, he became suspicious of King Beijing Jing, secretly thinking that Hong Helong's captivity was due to firearms, and the matter of firearms was again led by Officer Kou and Jia. Yucun made it happen, and Kouguan had been on good terms with the King of Beijing in the past, and Jia Yucun was promoted by the King of Beijing. This matter must be the trick of the King of Beijing!

Thinking about it, Prince Zhongshun did not return to the mansion, and immediately asked people to carry the sedan chair to the Beijing Palace.

After getting off the sedan chair in front of the gate of Prince Beijing's Mansion, Prince Zhongshun didn't wait for anyone to report. He opened the curtain of the sedan chair and strode through the corner door, and walked straight to the backyard of Prince Jing's Mansion along the corridor.

"My lord, I don't know that my lord is here, what I did..."

Prince Zhongshun saw the housekeeper of Beijing Palace stopping him, and said with a sneer, "You tell Shui Rong to come and see this prince." After finishing speaking, he walked forward angrily until he walked to a secluded courtyard in the backyard. He took a deep breath, brewed it up, shed two tears, walked into the yard, sobbed, and shouted loudly: "Is the old sister-in-law here?"

Prince Zhongshun forced his way in, how could the people in the courtyard not know, several maidservants hurriedly said: "My lord, the concubine heard that the south side is not good, she started praying for Jiangshan Sheji last night, and now she just rested. "

Prince Zhongshun looked gloomyly at the room in front of him, fixed his eyes on the emerald flower curtain hanging on the door, that Concubine Bei Jing was not very old, and it was inconvenient for him to force his way in, so he put his hands behind his back and intentionally He refused to leave, and only waited for Shui Rong to come, and then he talked through the door, asking Princess Bei Jing to hear what her precious son had done.

Sure enough, after a while, he heard footsteps, and by the scent of expensive incense, he could tell that it was Prince Beijing Shuirong, and Prince Zhongshun immediately turned around and sneered, "Ming people don't speak dark words, let me ask you In a word, today's matter, are you playing tricks in the dark?"

Shui Rong was stunned. He rushed here because he was worried that his mother would be shocked. He was abruptly sneered by Prince Zhongshun and sneered, "My nephew doesn't know about the other things. If the question is about the court, my nephew doesn't know where I come from." His ability can make a big official's whereabouts unknown!"

Prince Zhongshun said: "Don't quibble, no one knows, you are on good terms with the actors in my house, in the past you exchanged those little things with you, I think you are young, orphans and widows have a hard time, so I don't care about you, Now let me ask, where is Guan Kou now?"

Shui Rong thought about it, and immediately glanced at the concubine's room, and then I said, "I don't know where the words of the ears and temples came from? I don't dare to recognize these words. As for where Kou Guan is, he took the Whoever is ordered to go out of Beijing to run a business, who should be asked, and for no reason, ask me what this irrelevant person is doing?"

"Don't say anything irrelevant, you don't know, you saw Guan Kou left, and you are going to seduce Guan Qi from my house again."

Shui Rong sneered and said: "Could it be that Uncle Wang means that your family members are not allowed to associate with others? If that is the case, please also ask Uncle Wang to write down the names of all the people who have contacts with you inside and outside the court. Those people broke up with each other, so Uncle Wang is satisfied?"

"Don't mess around. I know what you and Kouguan are doing in secret. I advise you, if you want others to know, you have to do nothing. I saw that when you were young, Nian tolerated you in every possible way in terms of friendship with your father. I always don’t care about you, now that you are acting like this, don’t blame Uncle Wang for being ruthless in the future—I hope you can rein in the precipice after seeing Jia Yucun’s fate.” Prince Zhongshun left without saying a word. .

King Beijing was stunned, unable to think about why Prince Zhongshun's words came from. Seeing the figure move slightly behind the emerald curtain, he quickly walked to the curtain, bowed and said, "Mother, don't listen to Prince Zhongshun's nonsense. Nonsense, my son just sees that Kouguan and Qiguan are born ice-snow and smart, and their conversation is gentle, so they have the heart to make friends..."

"Let's correct this problem in the future, and if we encounter the matter of the Zhongshun Palace again, let's avoid it."

"Yes." Shui Rong hurriedly agreed after hearing what his mother said.

"...You really didn't plot against Prince Zhongshun's mansion?"

Seeing that the concubine was suspicious of him, Shui Rong immediately swore and swore: "Although my son is somewhat displeased with the Zhongshun palace's behavior and secretly disagrees with him, but today the prince Zhongshun came to ask about the captivity of the governor of Guangdong. Mother must be charged with this crime." You can't put it on your son." After that, he also wondered how Prince Zhongshun, when he mentioned the matter of the Governor of Guangdong, involved the elusive Guan Kou and someone in Jiayu Village in Jinling.

"Got it, let's go."

"Yes." Shui Rong saw that the concubine was not entangled in what Prince Zhongshun had left just now, and was overjoyed, so she withdrew, then remembered the sentence that Prince Zhongshun said before leaving, and felt that Jia Yucun might be in trouble , just wanted to send a letter to Jia Yucun to make him take precautions, and suddenly thought, Jia Yucun used to be a teacher in Ningguo Mansion, so he reported Jia Zhen. Asked the Zhongshun Prince to come to the Beijing Palace for no reason to inquire about his crimes. After thinking about it, he sent his men to investigate what Jiayu Village had done in the past year and a half.

"My lord, the Rongguo Mansion sent someone to ask about the news of their Second Master Lian."

Shui Rong was silent for a while, although he didn't like Jia Lian, but without his intervention, Jia Lian would not be going to Guangdong to be an official now, so he said: "Tell the Rongguo Mansion that apart from the news that the Governor of Guangdong has been taken away, there is nothing else. None of the news has been spread, so please stay calm and calm down; although the Lord has ordered the Prince of Nan'an and General Shenwu to prepare his army, the capital is thousands of miles away from Guangdong. How about Guangdong?"

King Beijing's words spread to the Rongguo Mansion, and a large number of thieves entered the Guangdong Governor's Mansion. Now the Supreme Emperor and the Emperor are going to send an army of Prince Nan'an and General Shenwu to crusade.

So the Rongguo mansion exploded, and there was a lot of crying in Jiamu's Rongqing hall. An old Jia She knelt in front of Jiamu and wailed, regretting: "I said earlier that he would not be allowed to go out of Beijing to be an official." What did the mother say that the man's ambitions are all over the place, and now something happened in Guangdong, Lian'er's whereabouts are unknown, and there is no man and half woman left, so how will the son live in the future?" After speaking, she pushed the old mother Jia who was on the couch vigorously. a handful.

Mother Jia pursed her lips tightly, and let Jia Amnesty rub her face expressionlessly. The originally neatly combed silver thread came out from the wipe of her forehead, and her bouquet of flowers was also wrinkled.

"My lord, I hurt my ancestor carefully." Mrs. Wang wiped her tears with a handkerchief, and it was against the rules to help Jia Amnesty, so she ordered Jia Zheng, Jia Zhu and his son, who were mourning their concubines, to weep the weeping man Jia Amnesty pulled away.

"Hey, what's going to happen to the family from now on?" Jia Zheng sighed, suddenly thinking that there was no one who could take charge of the family, and he was afraid that he would swallow his anger and let outsiders bully him in the future.Thinking about it, she also shed two tears, and looked at Jia Zhu again, wondering whether Jia Zhu could still be an official with his current body.

"If Aunt Zhao gives birth to a boy, she can be adopted under my knee, but she won't have that fate." Jia Amnesty was supported by Jia Zheng and his son from left to right, coughed, and wiped old tears with a handkerchief , Seeing Aunt Zhao standing beside Jia Mu, she couldn't help but say something again.

Aunt Zhao was just watching the excitement, hoping to see what would be sung at the Rongxi Hall later, but now that Jia She had mentioned her, she thought of the boy she was pregnant with in June, so even though she had no evidence, she felt wronged He glanced at Mrs. Wang carefully, and then cried while holding the handkerchief, "My poor child..."

"Shut up, Tanchun and Huan'er are fine, which one are you crying about?" Jia's mother was already very unhappy when she saw her two sons and grandchildren crying together in the room, but now she saw Zhao who had nothing to do with her. Auntie wanted to cry too, so she spat at her, then looked at Xu Qingheng who was being hugged by Li Wan's shoulders, and seeing that her face was very calm, she nodded secretly, thinking that if everyone was like Xu Qingheng, it would save trouble, So he beckoned Xu Qingheng to her side, and said: "Don't listen to them, if there is something good or bad, will there really be no news?"

Xu Qingheng nodded.

While wiping her eyes with a handkerchief, Aunt Zhao said, "Old lady, everyone has entered the governor's mansion, how can you not even enter the magistrate's office?"

Aunt Zhao's words pierced Jia She's heart with two killing words one after another. Jia She immediately burst into tears when he heard the words, "It's all because of my mother who asked him to become an official outside. Now my son has no one to take care of him."

"Shut up! My life is tougher than yours, so tell me to take care of you!" Jia Mu was annoyed by Jia Amnesty's crying, so she dropped a cruel sentence.

Jia Amnesty was frightened and did not dare to cry anymore.

"Brother Zhu, send the Eldest Master to his room to rest. As for the Eldest Master, don't think too much about it. After all, the man from the Rongguo Mansion is a decent official. If he is also taken captive, how can the thief not think about it?" Extort some money from the imperial court?" Xu Qingheng comforted Jia She, although she was also full of suspicion and worry, but she also knew that this meeting was not a time for her to care about her own thoughts, so she should reassure the whole family.

Jia She nodded repeatedly and said, "You're a good boy, Lian'er is sorry for you." As he spoke, he wiped his tears again, and when he saw Jia Zhu coming to help him, he pushed Jia Zhu's hand away and sat on the armchair beside him. He sighed.

"Nephew and daughter-in-law, send someone to ask questions." Jia Zheng forced back the tears in his eyes, and said to Li Wan who was standing beside Mrs. Wang: "My daughter-in-law will lead Baoyu and Lan'er down first."

Li Wan had just cried with the crowd, but now that Jia Zhengyuan was discussing matters with Jia Mu and Jia She, he waved to Yingchun, Tanchun and others, and led a bunch of small ones out.

Yingchun looked back worriedly at Xu Qingheng who was pulled into the arms of Jiamu and sat there, and sighed in her heart that their room would be squeezed out by the second room after all?

Xu Qingheng kept his head down and said nothing, until she, Jia Mu, and Jia Zheng and his wife were the only ones in the Rongqing Hall, he came out of Jia Mu's arms holding a handkerchief, and stood quietly aside.

"Mother, although it is inappropriate to say this at this time, it has to be done." Jia Zheng coughed in embarrassment, and gave Mrs. Wang a cold look. Although there was no evidence, Aunt Zhao said that the child in her belly was caused by Mrs. Wang. It was dropped, so he also believed that it was Mrs. Wang who was behind the scenes.In this way, he couldn't help thinking along with Jia She's words just now, if Aunt Zhao's child was born and adopted by Jia She in a fair manner, he would speak confidently now.

"What to say, you can say it." Jia's mother closed her eyes, probably guessing what Jia Zheng wanted to say.

"...Although Aunt Zhao's words are a bit vulgar, the big guy understands the truth. Since he can get into the governor's mansion, the magistrate's yamen must have been trampled. I know when he will come back. This family cannot be left alone for a day... Mother knows what Lai Da did in the past, if another Lai Da comes out, Rongxi Hall will collapse."

Mrs. Wang echoed and said: "What the master said is that although the old lady and the elder don't like to hear it, I have to think about it carefully at this moment. The governor of Guangdong is gone, and now the governor of Guangxi is going to sit in the town. Although there is no need to set up an heir for Rongxitang now, but pick out one or two of the nephews on the back porch and take care of them. If Lian'er is fine, send the child back; if there is an emergency, "Look at Jia She and Xu Qingheng glanced at each other, "Then adopted the child, so as not to panic when things come to an end."

Jia Mu pondered: "Choose a child from outside?"

Jia Amnesty coughed uncomfortably, and said aggrievedly: "It's impossible to worry about this now."

"There is a saying that if forewarned, it will be established, and if it is not forewarned, it will be abandoned. If the time comes, the Holy Majesty sees that Rongxitang has no head to inherit the family business, and points a nephew to Rongxitang. At that time, the old lady and the old man will feel uncomfortable and have nowhere to complain." Mrs. Wang tucked the handkerchief into her sleeve and straightened Jiamu's temple hair.

Jia's mother, Jia She's mother and son looked at each other in embarrassment. Both mother and son were thinking about the fact that Jia She was seriously ill earlier, and Jia's mother asked someone to tell the son to ask the emperor to give Jia Zheng the title of Jia's family.

Jia She thought that Jia Zheng had always played in the dark, and now he raised it upright, could it be that he has changed his ways?

Jia's mother was also puzzled, looking at Jia She's face, hesitantly said: "It's not appropriate to bring in children from outside."

Jia Amnesty lowered his head when he heard what Jia Mu said, and after thinking about it, he said, "Why don't we just pick Baoyu?"

Xu Qingheng's eyelids twitched, but he was speechless.

Jia Zheng also looked at Xu Qingheng. Although he was happy in his heart, he didn't dare to show his happiness. He made up his mind to ask Jia She to take Baoyu to Rongxi Hall willingly, so he made a gesture of resignation: "No, no, Zhu His son is weak, so his mother and I can count on Baoyu alone."

Mrs. Wang was secretly happy, and hid her joy, just waiting for Jia Mu to say a few words for Baoyu.

Jia Zhu coughed, seeing through Jia Zheng and Mrs. Wang's desire to refuse and welcome, and thought that Jia Lian entrusted the Rongxi Hall to him before leaving, how could he take advantage of others' danger?So he said: "What the second master said is absolutely impossible. The siblings are still young, if a adoptive brother comes over, how will she live in Jia's house in the future? It should be a adoptive brother."

"Then Lan'er." Jia She said straightforwardly.

Jia Mu, Jia Zheng, Mrs. Wang, and even Xu Qingheng wondered why Jia Amnesty was so happy right now?Logically, he should be a good student to mock the Erfang family?Could it be that he really believed that something happened to Jia Lian?

Jia Zhu coughed and said, "My lord, my nephew is weak and sick, and there is only Lan'er in total."

Hearing this, Jia She took a deep breath, and finally sighed: "In that case, let's pick one from the back porch."

Jia Mu, Jia Zheng and Mrs. Wang were shocked again.

"Old lady..." Mrs. Wang pushed Jiamu secretly.

Seeing that Mrs. Wang was in a hurry, Mother Jia looked at Jia Zheng again, and saw that Jia Zheng was also speechless, so she shook her head in her heart, and laughed at the Erfang couple for miscalculating Jia Amnesty, and seeing that Xu Qingheng remained silent, she just Ask Xu Qingheng: "What do you think?"
