[Red Chamber] The imperial examination life of the great master

Emperor Jianming was furious, but Chen Yangran escaped by luck.

The four testimonials are evidence, but this evidence cannot appear for no reason. Chen Yangran volunteered to present the proof of stealing evidence from the Tribute Court. He was supposed to be punished with a rod, but Emperor Jianming had already left. Shi couldn't figure out the holy will, and was afraid that he would hit the muzzle of the gun with his mouth at this time, so he had no choice but to pretend to be deaf and dumb, as if he didn't know about it.

The Xu family fell.

The Seventh Prince's faction was hit hard. When Tu Lu walked out of the palace, he gave Jia She a hard look.

Without even thinking about it, he knew that he must have deeply hated Jia She.

out of the palace.

Chen Ronggui's carriage was waiting outside.

Hearing the groom's report, he quickly opened the curtain, jumped out of the carriage, and asked nervously, "How is it? How's it going?"

After he said that, he saw Jia Daishan, his expression became serious immediately, and he saluted Jia Daishan respectfully.

"Excuse me." Jia Daishan nodded lightly. Originally, he thought that the child of the Chen family was a bit stupid, but now it seems that being stupid has its advantages, at least he has a heart of innocence.

"You juniors probably have a lot to talk about, I'm going back first." Jia Daishan said while twirling his beard.

"Yes." Jia She said.

After Jia Daishan walked away, Chen Ronggui dared to speak, "What happened?"

Chen Yangran glanced at Jia She gratefully, "Both the Xu family and Bai Yongen were severely punished."

"Okay! That's good!" Chen Ronggui clapped his hands excitedly, "In this way, brother Chen can finally get justice."

"Yeah." Chen Yangran nodded with a smile. Once this matter was over, the resentment that had been suppressed in his heart for a long time also disappeared, and his whole spirit suddenly changed completely.

Chen Yangran bowed to Jia She, "I can seek justice this time, thanks to Lai Enhou who did his best for me, please accept my respect."

How could Jia She accept this heavy gift from him, so he quickly helped him up, and he said frankly: "You don't have to thank me, I have to thank you. Xu Chengsong is the enemy of our Jia family. If he doesn't fall, we will die at night." Mian, this time his downfall is also due to your contribution."

"Okay, don't care who is credited, in short, everyone has credit." Chen Ronggui said with a smile, "You have worked hard today, so, I am the host, please go to the Zhuangyuan Building to celebrate, how about it?"

"Master." The bearer reminded Zhang Heng who was in the sedan chair, "If we don't go there again, Mr. Jia might leave with someone."

"There's no need to go there." Zhang Heng put down the car curtain, "Let's go back."

Anyway, he will come to the door by himself sooner or later tomorrow.

Jia Amnesty glanced at Zhang Heng's sedan chair as if nothing had happened.

Hearing Chen Ronggui's voice, he regained his mind.

Even if some people didn't know what the downfall of the Xu family meant, they understood it in the past ten days.

Xu Chengsong was imprisoned in the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice, waiting to be executed in autumn.The faction of the Seventh Princes was hit hard, and several officials of the faction of the Seventh Princes were also impeached. Like quails, they all know that today is different from the past.

Above the court hall, the east wind suddenly overwhelmed the west wind.

People from the prince's lineage are firmly in the upper hand, but they are all restrained by Zhang Heng, and no one dares to make trouble.

for a while.

In Haiyan and Heqing, there were fewer disputes in the early court, and it seemed extraordinarily calm.

And Jia Amnesty's reputation became famous all over the world because of this incident.

After all, it is not a common thing to trip up a second-rank minister of the court as Yijie Yuanlang.

"Jianhou?"

On the official road to the capital, an older nobleman in the carriage raised his eyebrows and asked, "He is the eldest son of Duke Rong, why isn't he the eldest son?"

The servant who inquired about the news replied: "Prince, I heard that Marquis Jia En was implicated in a case before and was deprived of his position as the heir by the emperor of Da'an, so he is not the heir."

"It's no wonder that Da'an has always valued his sons and elders, and he would not do so unless there is a special reason." The nobleman spoke with a bit of arrogance, and he was dressed in a bearskin robe and had a handsome face. .

He doesn't look like the eldest prince of a barbarian, but looks like a son of a powerful family in Da'an.

"Eldest Prince, we will arrive in the capital tomorrow, this time we will come with the Third Prince, so we have to guard against him." The confidant reminded him in a low voice.

The eldest prince turned his head and nodded, "This king knows about it."

……

"Hurry up, hurry up, pack things up later, if you're late, you might miss it." Chen Ronggui hurriedly urged.

Jia Amnesty put the book down helplessly, "What's so interesting about that barbarian coming to Beijing? Don't they all have a pair of eyes, a mouth, and a nose?"

"You don't understand that." Chen Ronggui said: "The barbarian Khan has more than ten princes. This time, the eldest prince and the third prince came to Beijing. They are the most favored sons. The third prince is nothing special. Yes, he is a savage, but the Eldest Prince is different, I heard that he has been familiar with Da'an's Four Books and Five Classics since he was a child, and his appearance is almost the same as our Da'an's, otherwise why am I in such a hurry to go."

Dare to love is rare.

Jia She smiled, he was a little curious when Chen Ronggui mentioned it in his heart, so he followed suit.

The gates of the capital opened wide.

Both sides of the streets in the city were already crowded with people who were coming towards the eldest prince.

All the teahouses and restaurants had been taken over by dignitaries early on. At this time, the windows on the second floor were all open, and people's heads were poked out to look outside.

The Chen family has a big business.

Even if Chen Ronggui just wanted to see the rumored barbarian eldest prince on a whim, he still vacated a spacious and elegant private room for them.

"Fortunately, I urged you in time, otherwise we would have missed it." Chen Ronggui said to Jia Amnesty while pushing the door open.

Jia Amnesty said yes several times.

In the private room, Duobao Pavilion, screens, vases, and incense burners are all available, and there are famous handwritings on the walls. It's a pity that Chen Ronggui and Jia She are all focused on the eldest prince at this time, and have no time to appreciate these.

Pushing open the window, the location of this private room is very good, the avenue into the city is directly below.

Chen Ronggui pointed to Yiqi who had just entered the city gate and said, "Here we come, here we come, that's Barbarian."

His voice was not low, but at this time everyone was noisy and mixed in, and he couldn't hear it clearly.

Jia Amnesty looked in the direction of his finger.

At this time, a group of hussars filed in, mighty and mighty, with astonishing momentum.

The court ministers have always called those barbarians ignorant and contemptuous. However, the barbarians can become Da'an's confidant for nearly a hundred years. He must have something worthy of Da'an's learning, and that is the barbarian's cavalry.

neat and tidy.

Unperturbed.

The momentum is like a mountain looking up.

This is the savage.

In an instant, the people on both sides of the capital were so shocked that they dared not make a sound.

Those barbarians riding on tall horses stared ahead without looking aside. They were full of the chilling aura formed by the sand field, which made people feel uneasy at first glance.

Jia Amnesty narrowed his eyes, and tapped lightly on the frame of the window sill.

It is said that Manzi is arrogant and reckless, and he really deserves his reputation.

This time he came to Beijing, on the surface he came to pay tribute, but in fact he came to show off his might.

If you really have the ability, you won't be beaten up by the old general Huang, and you won't show off among the common people.

The third prince was sitting in the carriage with the curtains opened. He looked at the suspicious and fearful eyes of the crowd and showed a smug smile.

Suddenly, someone upstairs sang loudly: "Is it said that there is no clothes? I have the same robe with you. Wang Yuxing master, repair my spear, and have the same hatred with you!..."

People from all over the private rooms also sang in unison.

More and more people joined in, and even the common people sang the battle song of Da'an.

"Why don't you say you have no clothes? Same clothes as your son. Wang Yuxing, repair my armor and walk with your son!"

One sound was louder than the other.

The skyline of the capital echoed continuously.

The third prince's face darkened.

Even though he is a barbarian, he can understand Da An's words.

"Tell them to shut up!" The third prince called his confidants and ordered.

The confidant looked up in embarrassment, this is Da'an, how could they make the people of Da'an obedient.

The confidant bit the bullet and went to find the adults of the Lifan Academy.

Unexpectedly, after the adult heard the request, he directly refused.

The lord laughed and said, ""No Clothes" is my battle song of Da'an. It is a good intention for the people to sing this song to welcome the two princes."

After the third prince heard the reply, his face turned blue.

The song "No Clothes" was sung until the figure of the barbarian's envoy was far away, and then it gradually became smaller.

Chen Ronggui patted Jia Amnesty on the shoulder, "With you, I just thought of a way to use the song "No Clothes" to overwhelm their momentum." It's just a pity that the eldest prince didn't show up, so we ran away for nothing It's been a trip."

"It's not a waste of time." Jia She said, "At least I taught the barbarian a lesson."

Chen Ronggui laughed loudly and said, "Yes, you are right."

Envoys go to Beijing.

According to the rules, the Li Fanyuan will arrange it first, and then send the angels in the palace to teach them the rules.

But this time it is an exception.

After Manzi and his party entered Beijing, they rested for a while in the courtyard arranged by the Lifan Academy, then changed their clothes and went to see them.

Golden Palace.

Emperor Jianming looked at the Eldest Prince and the Third Prince who were kneeling on their knees, with a smile in his eyes.

Manzi has been knocking on his side for many years. When the first emperor was in power, he never asked Manzi to send envoys to pay tribute. However, in his generation, it has been realized.

There is no king who does not love merit.

The same is true for Emperor Jianming.

"Calm down, the eldest prince and the third prince have worked hard all the way." Emperor Jianming said considerately, "I have already ordered people to prepare good wine and food to reward you two."

The eldest prince thanked him.

The third prince snorted, "I'm not used to eating and drinking the food and drink in the capital. I'm used to eating meat and drinking heavily. I can't stand such a petty way of drinking and cooking."

The third prince's words made the Golden Luan Hall suddenly quiet.

Zhang Heng suddenly stepped out of the queue, with a smile on his face, with a three-pointed coldness, "The third prince is right, our Da'an has always been considerate, and we know how to treat any kind of person with the same kind of courtesy, so we have prepared our grandparents early." A piece of meat and a big bowl of wine are waiting for the third prince."

As soon as Zhang Heng said this, everyone couldn't help laughing in a low voice.

Zhang Heng's words are really mean, but they can't be found wrong. It's really maddening.

Even Emperor Jianming couldn't help showing a little smile.

"Who are you! How dare you speak to me like that!" The third prince glared angrily and asked.

Zhang Heng was not in a hurry, and he was not afraid of his aura at all, "I am the young minister of Dali Temple. As for why he spoke to the third prince like this, our sage Confucius once said such a sentence, it is not easy to have friends coming from afar. Lehu. If you are a friend, we will naturally welcome you, but if you are not a friend, we will not be polite."

"You!" The third prince was furious, his eyes almost burst into sparks.

The eldest prince frowned, "Third brother, don't be ashamed."

The third prince closed his mouth angrily, but his eyes stared fiercely at Zhang Heng like a wolf.

Zhang Heng just glanced at this lightly, and didn't speak anymore.

Everyone was absent-minded during a banquet.

The banquet had been prepared a long time ago, so it was already cold. Even if it was delicacies from mountains and seas, it could not be as delicious as a bowl of hot soup at this time.

Wait until the banquet is over.

When Emperor Jianming left, everyone immediately went home to drink hot soup as if they had received an amnesty.

The eldest prince was toasted a lot of wine tonight, and he was so drunk that he walked out with the support of others.

The third prince was in high spirits.

The civil and military officials were surprisingly united tonight, they all assumed that he did not exist, no one toasted him, and naturally no one would persuade him to drink.

Zhang Heng also returned to the mansion at this time.

This time the Manzi sent the Eldest Prince and the Third Prince to Beijing, nominally to pay tribute, but everyone knows that the Manzi has a wicked heart and has been knocking on the border and disturbing the people all these years. God.

Now the old Khan is old, and it is said that he is not even able to deal with government affairs. He has many sons and daughters, and more than a dozen princes are fighting constantly, so the barbarians are all fighting their own way.

This time the eldest prince and the third prince came, and they might not be without some thoughts of their own.

Zhang Heng took a sip of strong tea, sat quietly and thought for a while, the eldest prince was indeed close to Da'an as rumored.

As for the third prince, Zhang Heng squinted his eyes. He was arrogant and domineering, but his uncle was a mighty soldier under the old Khan, so he was evenly matched with the eldest prince among the many princes.

His attitude today is very clear. If he becomes King Khan, there will never be peace in the frontier.

The night was thick.

Zhang Heng thought about it quietly for a long time in the study, and after a long while, he picked up his pen and planned to write a secret letter on this matter.

He just picked up his pen, when a voice suddenly came from outside, "Master, someone from the Li Fan Academy is here!"

Zhang Heng was stunned for a moment, put down his pen, got up and went out with a flick of his sleeves.

Zhangfu gate.

The little official of the Lifan Court was sweating profusely when he saw Zhang Heng coming out, and immediately greeted him as if he had seen a reborn parent, "Master Zhang, something serious has happened!"
