The son of the red mansion is unscrupulous

Although the King of Beijing could not understand Jia Lian's words, he already knew that he regarded his heirs very lightly. He coaxed Hong Helong to sleep on the bed as if he was coaxing the children, so he went out again to the courtyard of Prince Baojun. go.

After standing in the room, King Baojun came out impatiently.

"Can't ask?" King Beijing Jing asked.

King Baojun said impatiently: "They are biting and biting, saying that they are the people controlled by President Zhou. Their intentions are really sinister."

King Beijing was silent for a while, knowing that this was not the time to be jealous of his colleagues, so he must not fall into the scheme of the villain; Have nothing to fear?So he went in, looked at the five people kneeling on the ground, took out five blank rice papers without saying a word, took the ink pad, and printed the fingerprints of the five of them one by one.

"What is Uncle Wang going to do?" King Baojun asked suspiciously.

"Since you can't get it out of the question, report the one you don't like the most." King Beijing said loudly.

"This..." King Baojun hesitated for a while, and then stopped talking.

Hearing what King Jing said, the one who was bound hurriedly said, "Could it be that the prince wants to turn black and white?"

"Is it for you to speak?" King Beijing Jing sneered, "I thought that person was very hateful, and his morale was low. Getting him away is the best policy."

The five kneeling people tightly pursed their lips.

King Beijing knew that what he said just now was correct, so he said again: "Besides, that person called for firefighting so hypocritically just now, he pretended too much." Seeing the five people's eyes widening suddenly, he said: "Since they also said If it’s the weekly total system, then hand over the weekly total system.”

King Baojun saw how King Beijing tried the case, and secretly admired him. He ordered the five people to be jailed, and went to see Feng Tang with King Beijing.

When Feng Tang heard that Zhou Qiong was pretending to be a ghost, he closed his eyes and sighed, and ordered King Baojun to write a secret book and send it to the capital.

In the Daming Palace in the capital, Shui Mu received the secret book without saying a word for a long time. After half a day, he took up a pen to review it, and then said: "Give the Shangfang sword to Feng Tang, the general of Shenwu. If anyone is afraid of the enemy and disturbs the morale, just cut it first and then play it."

"Observe the order." Dai Quan hurriedly went to the shelf to take down the sword decorated with dragon patterns, and ordered Jin Yiwei to rush to the south.

When Feng Tang received the sword, the bandits provoked the old troops of the Prince of Nan'an to fight by humiliating the prince of Nan'an. Seeing that the general of the Prince of Nan'an's family was determined to lead the troops to fight, he took the sword and beheaded the general of the Prince of Nan'an's family first. , and then shouted: "Who else wants to violate the military order?"

Seeing that Shangfang's sword is here, everyone dared not force it any further.

Feng Tang said again: "Take down Zhou Qiong, the chief executive of Zhenhai!"

When Feng's family heard this, they immediately arrested Zhou Qiong from the general camp.

When Zhou Qiong came to Feng Tang, she sneered and said: "The enemy is now, is it possible that the general will be suspicious of me because of the gossip of some clowns?"

Feng Tang sneered and said: "There is a decree from the sage, Zhou Qiong, the chief commander of Zhenhai, confuses the people and disturbs the morale of the army. Over the past few months, he has always grown the ambition of a bandit and destroyed our army's prestige. Now he will be captured and escorted to Beijing for disposal! Lingbao Commandery Wang temporarily takes over the position of Zhenhai General Manager!" After saying that, he raised the Shangfang sword in his hand high.

Everyone shouted long live and knelt on the ground.

Seeing Feng Tang's majesty, Yang Shilang secretly clicked his tongue twice, and when Zhou Qiong was dragged down and Feng Tang returned to the governor's mansion, he walked up to Jia Lian, smiled and winked at him, "Look at King Baojun ?”

"I'm afraid I'm going to be a big official in the frontier." Jia Lian said in a low voice.

Yang Shilang was stunned, and said with a smile: "That's right. Although the king of Baojun was not born to the queen, he grew up beside the queen since he was a child. It will make him a great official in the frontier in the future." This seems to be a compliment, but it is somewhat The meaning of relegation.

"...It's been four months since this came and went." Jia Lian covered his eyes with his hands and looked at the sky.

Yang Shilang smiled and said: "Yes, it's been four months, and I don't know if the old prince can bear it." As he spoke, he followed Jia Lian to the Governor's Mansion, and when he entered the Governor's Mansion, he saw Kuang Yanbing standing there frowning. inside the gate.

"Who is the governor waiting for?" Yang Shilang asked.

Jia Lian also glanced at Kuang Yanbing.

Kuang Yanbing took a deep breath and said, "Droughts have been reported in Jiangxi and Shanxi, and the harvest in Jiangsu and Zhejiang has been poor. I wonder if the Lord has moved to seek peace?"

Jia Lian was thankful that he asked for an order to go south, otherwise it would be his turn to make things difficult, "Your Excellency, don't worry too much, there is not enough food and grass in the imperial treasury, and the Xue family is still there."

"The Xue family really has that much food and grass?" Kuang Yanbing asked suspiciously.

Yang Shilang said with a smile: "Your Excellency, I don't know. In Jiangsu and Zhejiang, not to mention silk and satin, Xue's shop cannot be avoided, and even firewood, rice, oil and salt cannot be avoided. Besides, Xue's family seems to have prepared for a long time, and there is a lot of food."

"That's good." Kuang Yanbing smiled comfortably.

But Jia Lian thought to himself that Wang Xifeng had won the title of Rongjun King for the Ninth Prince before, but now he doesn't know what will happen.

Sure enough, in the capital, due to the frequent reports of disaster reports from all over the country, those who had no intention of fighting at first took advantage of this "east wind" to encourage people to sue for peace. Of the papers sent to the capital every day, eight out of ten begged the imperial court for disaster relief.

The emperor was so busy that he couldn't help venting his anger on the Xue family, so he called Dai Quan and said, "Go to Xue's house and ask Wang Xifeng what she does?" According to the previous calculation, If there is a famine in various places, they just deal with the relief quietly, instead of making a lot of noise in the city like now, even Huangkou children know that there is a famine everywhere, and the emperor is brave and determined to fight.

Dai Quan stood beside Shui Mu, but did not move. Seeing that Shui Mu had been exhausted for days and had big bruises under his eyes, he said, "My lord, I heard that Nan'an County King met with Grandma Xue twice. I'm afraid..."

"Could it be instigated by the king of Nan'an County?"

"It can't be regarded as instigation. It is expected that this is the root cause of the empress dowager's insistence on setting up the empress at the beginning of the year. There is a saying that the person who untied the bell must tie it. Grandma won't give in." Dai Quan said slowly.

"She dares to threaten me?" Shui Mu sneered, secretly thinking that Wang Xifeng was not only capable, but also very courageous.

Dai Quan said with a smile: "Now is not the time to fight with Grandma Xue."

Shui Mu also knew that this was the time to use Wang Xifeng, but he was not reconciled to the woman he single-handedly brought up, who dared to threaten him with the money he gave him. After getting angry, he suddenly asked: "What day is it today?" ?”

Dai Quan understood and said, "Today is the third day of the junior high school, and there are still [-] days left before the [-]th day."

"...The decree was passed, the noble concubines of Zhou Dynasty and Wu were ordered to visit their relatives and gather with their father, son, brothers and sisters at home. Today, although Xue's family courtyard is too small to build a separate courtyard for visiting relatives, the virtuous and noble concubines are ordered to stay on the night of the [-]th lunar month and follow the decree Going out of the palace to visit relatives."

"Observe the order." Dai Quan agreed, and then asked, "Is there any reward from the Lord?"

Shui Mu glanced lightly.

Dai Quan said: "It's better to ask the virtuous and noble concubine to take the Rongjun king out of the palace in the manner of a queen, which can be regarded as a respect for the Xue family."

Shui Mu nodded, and frowned tightly, thinking that this means that Fang Wenhui is a concubine, and she dared to do this because she had no one to back her up.

Dai Quan hurriedly conveyed the decree to Yuxiu Palace, and when he entered Yuxiu Palace, he said the decree. Seeing that Xue Baochai was thoughtful after receiving the decree, he smiled and said: "Our family will send people to Ziwei Sheren's mansion. , Your Majesty, do you have something to pass on to Grandma Xue?"

Xue Baochai held King Rong in his hand and shook his head gently. After Ling Yinger rewarded Dai Quan, he led King Rong to sit in the garden worriedly.

"Why doesn't your empress have a smiling face?" Ying'er came up and asked.

Xue Baochai shook her head again, and said, "It's too much." Seeing that Ying'er was confused, she said softly, "There is a famine everywhere, so how can I save my relatives now? Isn't this asking someone to poke the back of Xue's family?"

Ying'er said confusedly: "It's too late for other people to envy such a decent thing, so why do you talk about poking the back of the spine?" Said: "Your Majesty, go and beg the Queen to persuade the Emperor to withdraw the imperial decree?"

Xue Baochai shook her head, and said: "By virtue of the good wind, the willow catkins floating in the sky, how can I let her go where she wants to go? I can only let her do what our Grandma Xue wants to do. It should be The east wind sent me in, but who knew it was the north wind overnight."

"Your Majesty, can't you find a way to control Grandma?"

Xue Baochai sighed, "How can it be that easy? If I rule her right now, I'm afraid she will die in the palace immediately without a place to bury her."

Ying'er was startled, and thought to herself that Xue Baochai still had so much to do as a noble concubine, so she didn't know what would happen to her in the future.Thinking about it, I can only comfort Xue Baochai.

On August [-]th, because the empress dowager and the empress advocated frugality, there was no banquet in the palace. Xue Baochai was in the empress dowager's palace, watching the empress dowager, the emperor, the empress, and the emperor's eldest grandson sitting peacefully. At one place, I couldn't help feeling envious, kowtowed, and walked out of the palace in a mighty manner with Feng Yi, and saw that the street outside the palace gate had been cleaned up by the Ministry of Industry and the five city soldiers and horses, and there was only Fenglongjing on the road, Pheasant feather palace fan, no idlers and others.

Although Xue Baochai was sitting on a golden-topped goose-yellow embroidered phoenix luan, although she was dressed up beautifully, there was no smile on her face. On the contrary, the young Rongjun king was sitting on the chair, excited and curious. Look around.

In front of Xue's house, Wang Ziteng, Wang Zisheng, Wang Ren and others were standing in front of the men's team. Aunt Xue, Mrs. Xue and two wives of the Wang family led Wang Xifeng and Baoqin to stand in the women's team.

Xue Baochai couldn't help laughing at herself, wondering whether this was to visit the Xue family or the Wang family?When I entered the house, I saw lanterns and festoons everywhere. What I smelled was the fragrance of lilies in my nose, what I saw in my eyes were dragons dancing in the tent and phoenixes flying in the curtain, and what I heard in my ears was the music of shengxiao and drums.

Xue Baochai sneered in her heart, secretly thinking that she didn't like these things when she was a child, but someone came to welcome her with them, and got down from Xiufeng Luanyu with a dignified appearance, and led Rongjun Wang inward.

After walking a few steps, I entered the hall made of beautiful pearls and emerald greens. Sitting behind the beaded curtain, I saw Wang Xifeng leading Aunt Xue, Mrs. Xue, Baoqin, and women from the Wang family to see him, followed by Wang Ziteng and others. Come see me.

Xue Baochai saw the person and said a scene, and when he moved to the garden banquet, he used the pretext of changing clothes and led Wang Xifeng to talk aside.

"Why isn't the changing place in my earlier room?" Xue Baochai asked.

Wang Xifeng responded respectfully, and said with a smile: "Where to change clothes, where to sit, where to receive gifts, where to have a banquet, where to retire, these are all determined by the palace, and the ministers dare not make their own decisions. "

Xue Baochai saw peonies everywhere in the dressing place, so she couldn't help submerging her fingers into a big red peony flower, biting her lips slightly, Wang Xifeng, who looked respectful, said threateningly: "Sister-in-law, since you don't dare to make your own claims, why don't you take care of yourself?" Why do you have to make up your own mind?"

Wang Xifeng said with a smile: "I don't know what your mother means by this?"

Xue Baochai turned around, looked at the pollen on her fingertips, and said with a sneer: "Sister-in-law, why should I pretend to be stupid? I have been at home for many years, so my sister-in-law doesn't know what kind of temperament I am? Don't you remember that I once said that my uncle's family is always close to the loyal prince, and my sister-in-law should be far away?" The Wang family. Why are you visiting relatives today? There are not many Xue family members, but there are a lot of Wang family members?"

"It's funny to say," Wang Xifeng saw that Xue Baochai was very ambitious and dared to talk to her like this, so she said flatly, "The lord made an order to ask the empress to go home to visit her relatives. The servants are so busy. , arranged everything neatly, even the little opera singer was borrowed from Duke Qing's family, but he couldn't find a man who could stand up to his family. Although there are two elder brothers and second brothers, how can they be useful as children? I couldn’t find any Zhang San and Li Si to show off, so I had no choice but to call the Wang family. It’s not that our Wang family likes to come, it’s because there is no one in your Xue family.”

What he said made Xue Baochai feel sad, and secretly thought that when he was young, his father and brother only regarded her as someone who could make the Xue family prosperous, but who knew that the Xue family had never prospered, and the Wang family took the lead.

"Sister-in-law, uncle and the others..."

"I know, they have already been told to stay away from Zhongshun Palace. Don't worry, I will take care of everything." Wang Xifeng said solemnly.

"If you follow in the footsteps of Zhou and Wu, how will my sister-in-law take care of it?" Xue Baochai asked.

Wang Xifeng said with a smile: "Don't worry, Youdao is a cunning rabbit. Could it be that your sister-in-law and I are the ones waiting to die? If there is an emergency...you can entrust King Rongjun to me."

Xue Baochai felt a chill in her heart, but she saw Wang Xifeng walking into the house holding her hand, and said as she walked, "Although the king of Baojun is beautiful now, he is just fighting outside. Our king of Rongjun was born at a young age. Feng Wang, the future is bright."

"Sister-in-law is so ambitious?"

"Don't you have one?" Wang Xifeng knew that Xue Baochai's ambition was not inferior to hers, it was just that one was more flamboyant and the other was more restrained.

"...For no reason, why did the lord ask me to go home to visit my relatives?" Xue Baochai saw that there were also peonies in the vase in this changing place, and felt that Xue's family was extravagant.

Wang Xifeng said with a smile: "I know the reason. After my mother visits relatives, our family donates food and gets a good reputation. Isn't it more enjoyable than following the emperor's words and quietly donating food?"

Xue Baochai suddenly realized that she couldn't persuade Wang Xifeng, so she could only let her go.

After changing clothes, the sister-in-law and sister-in-law went to the banquet in the garden. At the banquet, there were various delicacies from mountains and seas such as monkey brains, elephant plucks, and bear's paws, and there were also handsome and graceful actors singing and dancing on the stage.

Xue Baochai looked at it twice, but felt bored, and there was no palace official to urge him to return to the palace, so he had to hold back and watch Wang Xifeng's prestige with cold eyes.

After staying for the third watch, Xue Baochai got up immediately when he heard the deacon and eunuch driving back to Luan. Suddenly seeing that King Rong was not around, he looked around and saw King Rong sleeping soundly in Wang Xifeng's arms. The king of the county entrusted her to her, and she was stunned immediately, and hurriedly ordered Ying'er to take over the king of Rong, and immediately drove back to Luan with the king of Rong.

After returning to the palace, I saw that the palace was very quiet, and the candles in each palace room had already been extinguished.

Xue Baochai intended to kowtow to the Empress Dowager and Empress to thank her again, but when she saw that everyone had fallen asleep, she could only thank her tomorrow. In Yuxiu Palace, she placed King Rongjun on the bed, straightened his hands and feet, and suddenly Seeing King Rong woke up, he smiled and said, "It's getting late, go to sleep."

"Where's auntie?" King Rong asked innocently.

Xue Baochai said with a smile, "Auntie is at home." He patted King Rong lightly, saw that he was asleep, and slowly fell into a daze. Early the next morning, he greeted Fang Wenhui in the Queen's Palace early.

When paying your respects, you must hear Concubine Ji Hui compare her to Concubine Zhou and Concubine Wu to tease and joke.

Xue Baochai listened to the words, and seeing Wu Concubine kept looking at him quietly, she smiled and said, "Wu Concubine have something to say?"

Wu Pin turned her head with a smile, thinking ten years in the east of the river and ten years in the west of the river, wait and see?

"Grandmother, grandfather said that at the time of natural disasters and man-made disasters, Concubine Xue's family provided rice relief. Give it another reward."

"Good boy, if you grow up like this, you can learn exactly the same." Fang Wenhui sat on it and waved to the eldest grandson, and when the eldest grandson ran to her side, he rubbed the back of the eldest grandson's head with his hand, "What did you eat this morning?"

"I ate two bowls of steamed eggs."

"What are you doing with two bowls?"

"The emperor's grandfather was worried about state affairs and couldn't eat. I ate it for him. After eating, he will have strength, and when he grows up, he can go to disaster relief with his father."

"Good boy, in the future you will not only be able to provide disaster relief like your father, but also go to war like your fifth uncle." Fang Wenhui praised the emperor's eldest grandson with her arms around her.

The grandparents and grandchildren above talked about steamed eggs as if no one was there, while Xue Baochai sat down there like a thorn on his back. Seeing Concubine Ji Hui and Wu Concubine all watching, she smiled and said nothing.

"The noble concubine is so lucky." Wu Concubine, who had just slandered in her heart, couldn't help saying enviously.

Concubine Ji Hui also said involuntarily: "It's really a blessing, why can't our family ask for such a good sister-in-law?"

Xue Baochai wore a smile on his face, but in his heart he thought that the eldest grandson of the emperor would eat and live with the emperor.
