The sky above finally couldn't bear the heavy dark clouds anymore, and in an instant, it was pouring down with rain.Bean-sized raindrops poured down from the sky, accompanied by rumbling thunder, the entire imperial city was plunged into a hazy rain.

Inside the Zhaoyang Hall, Emperor Shenghe, who lived high above him, raised his eyes and looked at the officials standing on the lower steps.Civil officials wear vermilion, military officials wear basalt, at a glance, they are as distinct as the Chu River and Han border.

Shenghedi was silent for a long while, and tapped his fingers on the case lightly.The color of his eyes was as dark as the sky, and it was complicated and difficult to distinguish for a while, and it was impossible for people to see clearly what emotions were in it.After a long time, Fang heard the emperor's unrecognizable voice slowly came: "Zhang Qing, what do you say?"

Zhang Yiran was kneeling in front of the white jade steps, although it was such a humble movement, his back was still straight, as strong as a bamboo.He arched his hands and said in a deep voice: "I have nothing else to say, I just hope that your majesty is wise, and neither the minister nor the disciples of the minister have the slightest resentment. The disciples of the minister have been studying hard for several years, day and night, before they are favored by the sage." Being selected, I became a Tanhua, and entering the court as an official is also for my Daqing! Now the First Prince has just spoken a few words, and he has already beaten the minister, master and apprentice into a gang with ulterior motives, so why is there no excuse if he wants to punish him?"

"How can this be said to be a crime of wanting to impose?" The eldest prince stood aside and smiled, "It was an anecdote that everyone in the world knew about the birth of this precious jade. Why did Master Zhang suddenly become tempted to accept such a high-quality and beautiful talent as his apprentice?"

Zhang Yiran didn't look at him, but bowed his head to Emperor Shenghe: "Your Majesty respected me that day, and I taught you princes. I was afraid of lack of academic ability, so I kept pushing back. Now it seems that His Majesty shouldn't order Da It is better for the prince to study under the subordinates than the eldest prince who is talking nonsense today in order to avenge his past!"

This is to include what the eldest prince said earlier into the word "selfish enmity". Emperor Shenghe lowered his eyes, thoughtful.

The eldest prince felt anxious immediately: "You—"

"Furthermore, His Majesty also knew about the young master of the Jia family being accepted as an apprentice that day," Zhang Yiran continued, "At that time, the minister had already explained the reason to His Majesty. For the sake of Princess Beijing, my mother used filial piety to pressure me, and I was forced to Helpless, so it broke the precedent. At that time, the eldest prince didn't say anything about the beautiful jade from heaven, so why bring up this old matter now?"

The First Prince was so excited by his few words that he felt his anger go straight to the top of his head. Just as he was about to step forward to argue a few words, the officials were also arguing a lot, and many people were ready to move and wanted to step forward , but saw Shenghedi stretch out a hand wearily, preventing them from talking.

"That's all." The emperor said slowly.

For a moment, the eldest prince's face was filled with disbelief: "Father?"

"I still know what Zhang Qing's family is like." Emperor Shenghe rubbed the center of his brows with his fingertips, "If he wants the power of a dragon, he just needs to stand in line with you guys at any time." It’s good to say something good about the people you are loyal to in front of me, why is there such trouble?”

Hearing this, the second master of the Zhang family finally let go of the big rock that had been raised high in his heart, and felt his whole body loosen suddenly.

Then the emperor said solemnly again: "It's just that kid from the Jia family..."

When it came to the matter of the stupid apprentice, Zhang Yiran couldn't help but straighten his body again, all his mind was on the words that Emperor Shenghe was about to say.

"Since he has jade, he must be an auspicious person." Emperor Shenghe glanced at the officials and said calmly, "For the sake of Zhang Qing's family and Rong Guogong, I will not kill him."

Before Zhang Yiran was overjoyed, the next sentence came to his ears like a thunderbolt, instantly shattering the last gleam of joy in his heart: "At this time, there is another incident in the South China Sea, so let him be sealed as a tiger. , let him lead five hundred elite soldiers to the Yanzi of the South China Sea."

Five hundred soldiers.

Zhang Yiran seemed to have fallen into an ice cave full of icy edges, and the chilly lake water poured from head to toe, and everything from the limbs to the blood surged, all of which were large chunks of ice edge.He even trembled slightly involuntarily, completely ignoring his calm and composed demeanor on a daily basis.

Five hundred soldiers.

The king of Nan'an County had [-] elite soldiers on hand, and he was defeated by Japanese pirates and captured his life.But now his apprentice, who can't carry his shoulders or lift his hands, was spoiled since he was a child, but he wants to lead five hundred soldiers to fight against the Japanese pirates who are famous for their viciousness!

It has been made clear that it is to teach Baoyu to die.

He subconsciously wanted to open his mouth to say something more, and there were many ministers who were on good terms with the four kings and eight friends. King Beijing had even taken a few steps away, obviously wanting to ask Baoyu for another favor.But Shenghe Emperor already knew what they were thinking, and said in a deep voice: "None of you is allowed to intervene. I have already made up my mind on this matter and it cannot be discussed. If I know that you really formed a clique in private , I will definitely not let go of any of them!"

All the courtiers were startled by his sinister tone at the moment, and they all lowered their heads for a moment, not daring to look at the emperor who was already the wrath of thunder.

Emperor Shenghe calmed down for a while, and Fang raised his eyes to look at them: "If anyone wants to come, he should first consider whether the black gauze hat on his head can be worn safely."

--------

When this imperial decree came down to Jia's mansion, not to mention Jia's mother, even Jia Zheng didn't feel his legs and feet softened, and his heart suddenly turned cold: "Five hundred soldiers?!"

Mrs. Wang had already fallen headfirst, but Mother Jia was still holding on, urging Jia Zheng to ask why.

Jia Zheng hurriedly stuffed a purse bulging with silver bills into the hands of the messenger, and said with a smile on his face: "My father-in-law, I don't know why this evil son has offended His Majesty, so... ..."

The eunuch squeezed the purse, seeing that no one cared about it, Fang whispered: "Young Master Ling's jade is really a disaster, it's better to deal with it earlier."

After saying this, he didn't say any more, he took a few young eunuchs with him, and walked away.

The storm really came too fast, the mansion was in a mess for a while, busy asking the doctor and Mrs. Wang to have a look, and at the same time caring about Jia Mu, Jia Zheng's clean-up guests were also noisily gathered in the hall to discuss, it was really messy Unbearable.

After waiting for an hour, news finally came from the Beijing Palace and the Zhang Palace, explaining everything that happened in the court today.Jia Mu was furious for a moment, she could hardly breathe, her complexion was a little red, Yuanyang hurriedly patted her back for a long time, and then she got better.

Only when she regained her breath did Mother Jia let out a long sigh: "It's all Grandma's fault!"

It's just a word, it's already full of old tears.

Originally, because she loved Baoyu, she wanted to uproot Baoyu's place in the mansion, and she was really happy to have such a grandson like a phoenix egg, so everyone who spread the news that Baoyu was born with jade Everyone knows.

In order to make him live longer, he gave money to the poor farmers in the city, and ordered them to only recite Baoyu's name frequently, so as to suppress Baoyu's fate and avoid future suffering.

But who knows, now it's this kind of love that has forced Baoyu to a dead end!

Jia Zheng's heart was also full of complaints, but it was hard to say it because Jia's mother was the elder after all.Seeing how heartbroken Jia Mu was, she had no choice but to step forward and say, "Don't be sad, old lady. This was Baoyu's life. It can't be said."

"This is fate!" Mother Jia cried, "I don't believe in this fate! My precious jade was born with great fortune, how could it be harmed by such a vicious plan by such wicked villains? At worst, I will do my best." Old life, go to Dengwen Drum and ram him to death, and fight for my grandson's life!"

After all, Mother Jia is really struggling to wear imperial clothes and go to Dengwen Drum to seek death.Where can Jia Zheng let her go?They had no choice but to hug Jia Mu with Jia She and his brother, and pressed her firmly on the seat, persuading her: "Old lady, calm down..."

"Yes, old lady, calm down."

Another voice suddenly came from below, as clear as the wind blowing ice floes.When Jia Mu heard this voice, she trembled all over unconsciously, tears dripping from the corners of her eyes like rolling balls: "Baoyu?"

Baoyu standing in front of them is still wearing the red arrow sleeves that Su usually wears, with pink lips and red lips, as if she is a fairy figure walking out of some painting.He took a few steps forward gracefully, holding on to Mother Jia's hand, and said softly: "Old lady, don't worry about your grandson anymore."

"How can I not be worried," Mother Jia cried, reaching out her hand to caress his black hair, "This is for you to die..."

Baoyu smiled, and said in a firm voice: "The old lady also said that my grandson was born with great fortune. How could he leave the old lady so easily?"

He took out the piece of jade that he was carrying around his neck, stuffed it into Jia Mu's hand, and taught Jia Mu to look at it.A few words were carefully engraved on the top with extremely thin gold wire: one eliminates evil, two heals wronged diseases, and three knows misfortunes and blessings.

Jia Mu read these three lines of words several times in her mouth, and then saw Baoyu's calm and relaxed appearance, and her heart was inexplicably stable for a while.She stroked this piece of psychic jade again and again, as if a drowning person finally grabbed a piece of driftwood, she nodded and said: "Yes, this is a fairy. A blessing in disguise..."

Everyone responded again and again, and thinking about the scene when Baoyu spit out this piece of jade back then, they believed it a little bit in their hearts.

Only Baoyu was not in a hurry, with a smile on his lips, and comforted all the people who came to Jia's mansion because of worries in their hearts. Seeing Feng Ziying and others' anxious appearance, he smiled instead, and he had to persuade him After a pass, it was very easy to send everyone back home.It wasn't until the sky was dusk that he returned to his courtyard and took off the big clothes outside.

Sitting on the arhat bed covered with lotus-colored quilts, he listened to the sound of rain pattering on the paper window outside, finally showing a little tiredness in his eyes.

After a while, he straightened his clothes and called out, "Xing Ren, Qingwen?"

Because of the cold weather today, the two personally boiled ginger soup for Baoyu in the back with a small red clay stove, intending to drive away the cold.When they heard that Baoyu called them, they knew that Baoyu had come back, so they poured ginger soup and went into the room to serve.

A bowl of ginger soup filled in a white porcelain bowl swayed slightly, exuding white air, with a slightly spicy taste.Baoyu has always disliked the taste of it, but now he poured it straight into his stomach, and then put the empty bowl on the table.

The candies that Xiren had prepared earlier were useless now, so he had to put the candies into the saucer as well: "Grandfather..."

"I bought a Zhuangzi before," Baoyu said suddenly, "the courtyard of Sanjin also has two families in it, with ten acres of fertile land, and the place is also secluded. I have asked the Jinwu Guard to pay more attention to that land, Therefore, bandits and the like dare not approach, it must be extremely safe."

These words were really unexpected, both Qingwen and Xiren were staring at him, unable to react for a while.

The lights crackled, and Xi Renfang muttered as if waking up from a big dream: "Master, you are..."

The person in front of him was expressionless, and he also pulled out the two pieces of paper from the box, and tore them to pieces in front of the two of them.

Xiren lowered his eyes subconsciously, and only then could he faintly distinguish the word "Deed" on the flying paper scraps.His heart trembled violently, and it wasn't until this moment that he finally realized what exactly Baoyu had just torn up: "Master!"

Baoyu had already let go of his hand, and the confetti all over the sky fell down like flying butterflies.Butterfly wings are pale, and only occasionally a flash of ink can be seen.

"This is the contract of sale I obtained from Lian's second sister-in-law today," he said in a low voice. "You... are already free. Before I go to join the army, you will go to live in that village. let's go."

"No matter what you want to do, such as looking for a small business, or looking for a woman from a good family, marrying a wife and having children... It's all good. Even if you don't want to do anything, anyway, Zhuangzi The prospects here are enough for the two of you to live."

He blinked, feeling a slight soreness in his eye sockets, and hurriedly lowered his eyes, not looking at the two people who were already dazed in front of him.

"Take this opportunity to do what you've always wanted to do."

Because this is probably the only thing I can do with you in this life.

The author has something to say: Baoyu: I have finished explaining the funeral, the baby is here to give you the head~~~

Japanese pirates: Go away!We will not accept this head, no!
