The Ring of Red Mansions is far from the heart

Because it was a honeymoon, Jia Huan let the carriage drive at a tortoise speed.After the carriage arrived in Cangzhou, Jia Huan was tired from sitting, so he decided to change the waterway.

After all, with the speed of a horse-drawn carriage, no matter how flat the road is, there is no way to reach Jinling within a month, let alone they still have things to do.Jia Huan really missed the advanced transportation of later generations.

Stopping around like this, when they arrived in Jinling, the boys from the Jinyi Institute who were sent out had already done all the preliminary work.

Situ Yuan is the most trusted prince today, so he didn't stay in a restaurant or inn when he went out this time, but he directly lived in the Jinling Palace built by Jinling for the emperor's southern tour.

At the beginning, the emperor visited the south many times, and four of them lived directly in the Jiangnan Zhen family.Zhen's family has a very large garden, which is much larger than the Grand View Garden in Jia's Mansion back then, and that garden was used as a separate courtyard for the emperor to pick him up during his southern tour.

Of course, this other courtyard cannot be inhabited, but there are several places inside that can still be opened to the outside world.Therefore, people from the Zhen family posted posts from time to time to invite some officials who traveled to and from the south of the Yangtze River to let them go to open places to play.

Those officials are well-informed, but the Zhen family's other courtyard was fortunate to have been visited by the emperor, and it is an honor in itself to be invited to visit.Therefore, posts from Zhen's other courtyard are hard to come by.

Because of this, the Zhen family not only recruited many officials, but also gained a lot of money.It can be described as a double harvest of business and money.

However, when the emperor made his last southern tour that year, he did not live in the other courtyard of the Zhen family. Instead, he wanted to build a palace outside the city of Jinling regardless of whether he would work hard or not.It is the one where Situ Yuan and his party live in now.

As for why the last southern tour of the emperor did not live in Zhen's courtyard like the previous four times, only the emperor knows.

"Tell me, you have been here for such a long time, what have you done?" When the group arrived at the palace, Situ Yuan chose a side courtyard very discerningly and lived in it.

At this time, he was cleaning the face of Jia Huan, who was besieged by the world, while listening to his subordinates report on the Jiangnan affairs.

"Back to your lord, when Lord Lin went to Beijing that day, he compiled all the connections in the Jiangnan officialdom into a book, and handed them over to us at that time. The boys came here this time, because they have this thing, it's easier to do things. At least, the things that the prince ordered at the beginning have already been arranged, I believe that when the prince and An Guogong return to Beijing, they will definitely return to Beijing with good news."

"What about Zhen Yingjia?" Jia Huan was very curious. It had been more than 20 days. At the beginning, Situ Yuan said mysteriously that there was a way to get Zhen Yingjia to the capital.

But they have been walking on the canal for a while, and Situ Yuan seized the opportunity to drag him to do some embarrassing things. Jia Huan didn't have a chance to pay attention to "Shenyin" and Jinyi. information.The result is a message blockage.

The subordinate who reported was named Chen Jiang'er, and he was the team leader in charge of the Jiangnan Zhen's case.At this moment, after listening to Duke An's question, Chen Jiang'er peeked at Prince Zhongrui, and seeing that Situ Yuan did not show any displeasure, she boldly said: "Five days ago, the emperor issued an order: the palace has not drafted for many years, resulting in With a small population, it's time for the two princes to see each other. And now that many young men in the clan have reached the age of getting married, it's time to choose some beautiful women to enter the palace."

After taking a sip of the porridge, Jia Huan asked curiously: "Then what does this matter have to do with Zhen Yingjia? How do you know that he will just go directly to the capital to throw himself into the trap?"

"This... I heard from my subordinates that Zhen Yingjia had two concubine wives, both of whom were able to bear children. Besides those concubine sons, they also gave birth to four concubine daughters. That day Prince Yizhong's The concubine is the eldest daughter of the Zhen family, and his second daughter married into the palace of Dongping County and became the concubine of the former prince of Dongping County. Now Zhen Yingjia has two beautiful girls under her knees. Of these two, the older one is no more than fifteen, and the younger one is exactly thirteen, which is the best age for entering the palace to be selected."

The action of drinking porridge paused, Jia Huan raised his head and said to Situ Yuan: "It's hard for the emperor to think of such an idea." The reason why the Zhen family can develop so far is not only the relationship between their old lady, but also the relationship between their family before. The aunt became the emperor's favorite concubine.But now, Concubine Zhen is dead, and the two princes born by Concubine Zhen have long since disappeared because of the battle for the throne.The officials who had been helping those two jumping joyously were all killed and demoted one by one.It can be said that their Zhen family is above the court, just like the Rongguo Mansion at the beginning, there is no one who can talk.

Although many people have been recruited by them, no matter how close allies are, they are not as convenient as their own family members, right?

"Your majesty is really hardworking. In order to lure the snake out of the hole, he actually used his own cucumber as bait!" But judging from the current situation, the emperor's cucumber is still very marketable. , there are two automatically delivered to the door.

"Pfft..." Poor Situ Yuan was drinking porridge, when he heard Jia Huan's weird talk, he immediately vomited.

Jia Huan looked at the plates of side dishes that were sprayed on the table and worried, "You are really, it's so unhygienic, I'm not full yet, you are deliberately not letting me eat! "What does it mean to beat back, that's it.

Situ Yuan looked at Jia Huan speechlessly, only the youngest An Guogong dared to entertain the present like this, try another person.

But it is undeniable that today's hand is played very beautifully.You must know that in these years, the emperor has never mentioned the matter of drafting a concubine, even if an official raised it, the emperor would directly reject it.Many officials have given up hope for the re-selection of concubines today. Who knew that the purpose of this year's draft was so unexpected?

Zhen Yingjia has ambitions, and the ambitions are not small.Concubine Zhen is dead, and the two princes she gave birth to are also dead. They can't be relied on, the so-called emperor and courtiers.At the beginning, they failed to invest in the battle for the throne, because the emperor is still there, and they have not expressed any dissatisfaction with them today.But when the emperor dies one day, it may be time to liquidate those who were on the wrong team.

It can be seen that the old nobles like them looked down upon them, and now they have already gathered power.But last year, the so-called internal and external uprising initiated by the four kings has become the driving force for the stability of power today.

Zhen Yingjia's mood can be imagined, now he desperately wants an opportunity to close the relationship with today.But I don't know if it's because what Concubine Zhen and her two sons did back then were too vicious. In addition, their Zhen family can't be seen today no matter what.The eldest prince's biological mother also wanted to control the present day, so Zhen Yingjia decided to choose an unfavorable one from the offspring of the Zhen family and send it to the present day.

Who knew that the one who had the last laugh was the present who was the least favored by the emperor?In Zhen Yingjia's mood, don't worry too much, because back then, Zhen Yingjia's eldest daughter was sent to the imperial family together with the eldest prince's biological mother!

Seeing that they are now in their prime, but they want to grab that chair from under today's ass. If things fail, Zhen Yingjia doesn't even know if the Jiangnan Zhen family can still exist.

It's all right now, there is an opportunity to send her own girl to the palace, Zhen Yingjia doesn't care if this is a hole dug for him now, she just took his wife and two girls to be selected and rushed to the capital overnight.

Zhen Yingjia has great confidence in her own girl. Based on the appearance of his girl, if she was born a few years earlier, she might be able to become a queen!If the next prince comes, then their Zhen family will be able to sleep peacefully for at least the next 30 to [-] years.

Today is indeed an expert in conspiracies, such an obvious conspiracy, even if he knows that the current scheme is their Zhen family, he, Zhen Yingjia, has to jump down willingly.

Chen Jiang'er lowered her head, her chin was almost touching her chest, and she couldn't help but muttered in her heart: "I didn't hear anything, I didn't hear anything, I didn't hear anything, until..."

Chen Jiang'er was about to burst into tears. Why is his mouth so cheap? The husband and wife eat and drink affectionately there. He not only has to stand here, but also hear some amazing things from time to time. An Guogong is cheating him!It seems, it seems, maybe, he didn't offend this master, right?Seems like it?

Seeing the side dishes with ingredients on the table, Jia Huan was completely out of debt, wiped his mouth and said, "You said that Zhen Yingjia took the two girls and went directly to the capital to wait for the election?"

"Yes."

"Tsk, why did I hear in a daze a while ago that the fourth lady of the Zhen family in the south of the Yangtze River has already been engaged to someone else? If she is really selected, it is a crime of deceiving the emperor!" The so-called "heard", of course It was Jia Huan who was the "little frozen cat" in the previous life, and the wife of the Zhen family said it herself when she went to Rongguo Mansion.

Chen Jiang'er quickly looked up at Jia Huan, "There is such a thing, but very few people know about it. The fourth girl of the Zhen family is engaged to a baby girl, the kind of marriage with the fingertips. The man is exactly Niu Qian, the great-grandson of Zhen Guo Gong Niu Qing."

Situ Yuan smiled and said: "The Niu family is not dead, they are all exiled for three thousand miles. This Mr. Zhen is really direct enough, does this ruin the marriage?"

"That's not true, I heard that when the emperor's imperial decree came out that day, the next morning when the report arrived in Jiangnan, some servants of the Zhen family set off from Jiangnan and rushed to the Niu family on the only way to be exiled. See After meeting Niu Qian's father, the two talked secretly for a long time. When the family member returned to Jiangnan, he brought Zhen Yingjia a top-quality jade pendant. I heard that it was the token of the two families when they made the order." Chen Jiang'er had a look on her face The gossip said to Situ Yuan.

Situ Yuan raised his eyes to look at Jia Huan, Jia Huan stretched out his finger and nodded at the table, "It seems that Zhen Yingjia is quite capable of making a decision, and this trick of tail-cutting to survive is very smooth."

"Then Zhen Yingjia is a well-known old fox in the south of the Yangtze River. If not, how could he be so successful in the officialdom in the south of the Yangtze River? Even with the support of the Zhen family, those who can't support themselves would have been drowned long ago." Situ Yuan didn't think so. It's strange, just like the princes who grew up in the palace, if they didn't know how to fight in the palace, they would have died in that gloomy palace long ago.

"That's good. This old fox has been transferred to the capital, and our affairs will be much more convenient. However, the emperor has made a draft for the Zhen family. How will it end then? Didn't the old man say that he didn't want to share the harem with him?" Are the previous dynasties getting mixed up? Isn't this a slap in the face?" Jia Huan didn't know how it would end now.In other words, when the time comes, does he want to go and have a look in front of today?See how happy he is to slap himself in the face.

But at this time, Jinjin, who was far away in the capital, suddenly sneezed, which frightened the ministers who were discussing affairs. Eunuch Su even asked someone to ask the unnamed Taoist priest to feel the pulse of the emperor. The dragon body is very important.

Jinjin waved his hands and said helplessly: "Okay, don't be busy, I'm not sick, Prince Zhongrui must be trying to trick me again, or Duke An is secretly scolding me behind my back." That being said, all the ministers looked at the smiling face today, and they all understood that this man didn't really care about being so missed by those two couples, but was still enjoying it.

But Situ Yuan said indifferently: "You can rest assured about this, since brother Huang can come up with such a solution, he can also solve the matter perfectly."

Jia Huan thought about it, and this is true. Thinking of the speechless manipulative tactics of today, Jia Huan, who came from later generations, would kneel to him.It's a good thing that he has the same relationship with the present, if he becomes an enemy with the present, he will tremble and dare not look alike at all, okay?

"Okay, since the emperor transferred Zhen Yingjia away, what should you do? I believe that with your means, you should be able to handle this matter perfectly. I don't need this king to tell you how to do it. "Situ Yuan issued an order to expel the guests.This Chen Jiang'er is really too blind to see. It seems that after returning to Beijing, he still has to be thrown back into the training camp for a while.

Chen Jiang'er suddenly felt a gust of cold wind blowing across her neck...

Chen Jiang'er, who had a strong sixth sense, immediately stood up straight, raised her head and said with a straight chest: "Yes, I remember, my subordinate will leave!" After speaking, he turned and left.

Jia Huan looked at Chen Jiang'er who was going away, and sighed: "Is this someone chasing him? He's running so fast!"

"Hehe." Situ Yuan grinned, showing his big white teeth.
