Femme Beauty

Chapter 77

The matter of Qixiang country is over, and Baoyu, who has been taken away and trapped in an unknown place, has also returned.Just follow back, there is a team of people.Looking at the servants and the Red Snake Guards, Jia's mother immediately understood what the emperor meant.This is to tell her that he knows what happened back then.Now that the emperor knew about it, but still ransacked Jia's house, it meant that Baoyu's identity would not make Jia's ups and downs possible again.Her heart is cold, and the current life is already passing day by day.But I didn't want to, I was afraid that the best reliance I thought would not work.

At night, a plain-clothed woman in the cold spring dew went to Jia's house in a black ebony carriage.In the middle of the night, Wang Xifeng heard crying from the mansion next door.Mother Jia passed away.

While she was getting dressed, she asked the people around her.It seemed that the woman didn't hide anything, not even the palace bell hanging under the car.After listening to the mother-in-law's return, she understood.I am afraid that after the emperor sent people to pass, Jia's mother would commit suicide.It's just that this matter is not easy to talk about, so she still asked Jia Lian to write a letter and send it away overnight.At this time, Jia Amnesty might have already entered the territory of Ping'an Prefecture. Even if the letter was delivered, it would be summer.However, they have to be juniors, and they have to do it after all.

Jia Mu's coffin was outside because of Jia Amnesty, so those exiled by Jia Zheng could only be stored in Tielan Temple.After Jia's mother left, she left a huge family fortune.Neither Wang Xifeng nor Jia Lian wanted it, and they had already made it clear when they separated.It's just that Li Wan doesn't want to be clingy and cheap, but he doesn't want to owe anyone.She divided a small village and gave Jia Huan some fertile land in the capital.At the same time, Tanchun was given 5 taels of dowry silver, plus some precious ornaments from the old lady when she was young.

Aunt Zhao wanted to leave with the two children, but Li Wan said that for Tanchun's marriage, she still stayed with Tanchun.Jia Huan took his mother to live in Zhuangzi.After the funeral, Jia Lian was asked to recommend a master.This matter is also over!

This time Wang Xifeng had no contact with Li Wan and others, but this time she saw Li Wan's handling, but she felt that Li Wan's behavior was not bad.

But this good mood didn't last long, and the funeral came to an end.When she first got the news, she couldn't believe it.Her father-in-law, who had always been idle, was shot in the heart to save her uncle, and he was on his way back to Beijing.In the previous life, the most important event happened completely:

Ping'an Prefecture...rebelled.

During the rebellion in Ping'an Prefecture, Xixia brought Tubo soldiers and horses into the northwest border corridor.For a while, the court and the people were astonished by this.How did such an unexpected thing happen?Whether it is military generals or civil servants, they don't know.Mu Chengze already knew that there would be such a result, but he didn't expect it to come so early.Fortunately, Wang Ziteng is already on his way.It's just that the Red Snake Guard who went with him was actually from Ping'an Prefecture, which surprised him very much.If Wang Ziteng is gone at this time, it is equivalent to breaking one of his arms.It can be seen that the opponent's assassination itself is also purposeful.But Jia Amnesty's unintentional actions just saved Wang Ziteng's life.In this way, the private soldiers raised by Duke Rong's family are not a bad thing.

Jia Lian and Wang Xifeng waited anxiously for Jia Amnesty and Wang Ziteng's carriage, and before entering the door, they hurriedly asked someone to take a post to invite the imperial physician.These two have used Tianlu before, and Wang Xifeng has been worried that taking it again will have little effect.

Wang Ziteng helped Jia She get out of the carriage, and looked at the grinning old father Jia Lian's heart, which was originally in his throat, suddenly dropped.He took a long breath: "Father, how do you feel?"

"I can't die, I don't need you to mourn for me!" Jia Amnesty's injuries were on his shoulder and lower back, and every step he took was grinning in pain.Fortunately, on the way, he took the doctor he had specially sought out a few years ago, and made thread with cotton thread and his own hair and sewed it on.Otherwise, at this time it is still too late to be carried.

"Have someone bring the spring stool over, father should lie down and go in!" Jia Lian had someone prepare the spring stool early on at the second gate, and Jia Amnesty did not try to be brave.Wang Ziteng sent him into the second gate and then left. He had to go back and report to the emperor.Jia Amnesty blocked him a few times, but it saved his life.His prince Teng has always been clear about his grievances and grievances, but looking at his son-in-law...he feels ashamed of Jia She.This kind of guilt made him a little out of breath from the road until now.

After changing his clothes, Mrs. Wang Ziteng didn't say anything to him.He just tidied up his official uniform and watched him ride into the palace.Right now, because the king of Xining County is temporarily resisting Pingan Prefecture in the northwest, as long as part of the army is mobilized from Beiya Pass, it is estimated that it can be temporarily suppressed.But what he is worried about is whether the Xixia army will come directly.

What Wang Ziteng was worried about was also what Mu Chengze was worried about.There is no extra ceremony when the monarch and ministers meet. After sitting down, Wang Ziteng tells his experience in detail.It's good to have troops there, but in terms of armaments, I'm afraid it won't work.He checked the armaments of many checkpoints, all of which were old.It's okay to say that there is no war at the moment, the Beiya pass has been quiet so far.But if Ping'an Prefecture falls, it may not be possible to defend it only by relying on those old weapons.

After hearing this, Mu Chengze didn't understand.This must be a calculation made by the military supplies of the household department below.I don't know that the official who enriched himself may have received tribute from top to bottom.He sighed, the country is full of holes right now, he blocked this and discovered that.Recently, another report from the river channel said that the river embankment might collapse.The south is where people's livelihood is most important, and the north is always dry and a large number of laborers have gone to the south.Although the rice grain harvest in these years is not absolutely bumper, the harvest is not bad.If there is a problem with the river embankment, and with the matter of Ping'an Prefecture, as long as Beiya falls and waits for him, the country will be destroyed.

Hearing the emperor's sigh, Wang Ziteng lowered his head: "Your Majesty, I don't think I can do anything in the capital right now. The most important thing right now is to mobilize troops to counter the rebellion in Ping'an Prefecture. The nearby towns have moved south due to the labor force these years. In fact, many towns are deserted. Not to mention resistance, I am afraid that the soldiers will pass by like locusts passing through without hindrance. I thought, if I don’t want to sit on the other side of Beiya, let the Shijia brothers lead the troops to suppress the rebellion.”

Hearing that Wang Ziteng said that he wanted to transfer the two masters of the historian, Mu Chengze thought for a while and shook his head: "The two of the historians can't move, Bei Ya is blocked by them from the beginning to the end. If they change people now, I'm afraid No way. Let Yang Chengmao take their Yang family general over there. No way, I'm afraid they can resist for a while."

"But if the Yang family comes out of Shuzhou, Dali in the south..." Wang Ziteng was a little worried, if there were too many wars, it would be very bad.Right now, the South China Sea is still anxious with Qixiang Country.Although it is said that the war has ceased, Liao'an Island and other forest islands have been lost and occupied.

"I can only do this!" Mu Chengze shook his head: "How is Jia Amnesty's injury?"

Hearing Mu Chengze mentioned Jia Amnesty, Wang Ziteng's expression was a little bad: "I asked the country doctor to mend it. I used a little of that dew, and it still looks good."

Mu Chengze nodded: "That's it, let him come to court to see me when he recovers. For now, let's rest at home!"

Wang Ziteng heard about it and knew that Mu Chengze had a good opinion of Jia Amnesty after this incident.Nodded: "I heard that Lin Ruhai's health is not very good?"

"The end of captivity!" Mu Chengze took a deep breath and looked at Wang Ziteng: "I want to work hard and be a good emperor. But right now, time really doesn't wait for me." He smiled bitterly: "But it's okay Now, I have no heirs. Even if the country is subjugated, it will not discredit future generations."

"Your Majesty!" Wang Ziteng looked at Mu Chengze worriedly.Mu Chengze waved his hand: "It's nothing, we are doing human affairs now, let's obey the destiny! If you really die at my place, it will be a few days. You are tired all the way, go back to rest first. Four days later, I will go to court again." Make other arrangements."

"Yes! I will resign!" Wang Ziteng had mixed feelings, and he knew that the emperor would not have a good time either.He got up and left the palace, looking at the gloomy sky outside, his mood became even less clear.

The return of Wang Ziteng made the originally turbulent court even more unpredictable.Four days later in the imperial court, Mu Chengze made three orders.

The first one is to confer the title of Prince Cheng as an inheritance from generation to generation, and the fiefdom as Jinling.The old imperial palace in Jinling was given as the residence of Prince Cheng.Give three months to move, and if there is no imperial edict, you are not allowed to enter Beijing easily.

The second prince Teng was promoted to the inspection point of the nine provinces, and Wu Zitongyin was in charge of the Beiya pass, in charge of the army, food and grass.

The third first-class Duke, Rong Guogong, Jia She, was promoted to the Minister of the Ministry of War.Specially for Wang Ziteng.

After these three decrees, Yang Chengmao, the garrison of Shuzhou, was sent to lead troops to quell the rebellion in Pingan Prefecture.

Jia Lian heard the order and went to Lin Ruhai's house after work.He felt that the emperor seemed to be planning a way out for the dynasty.He wondered if it would be best to move his aunt's family and other female relatives to Jinling as well.As a man, he is not afraid of these things.When the time is right, seek a remote and small official and hide away.

But before he said this to Lin Ruhai, he swallowed it.In Lin Ruhai's study, there were bursts of coughing.He walked in quickly, and saw the handkerchief that Lin Ruhai wanted to hide.The black and red blood on it, together with the reddish tone under Lin Ruhai's nose, made his heart skip a beat.He fell to his knees with a plop.Lin Ruhai looked at his frightened look, and smiled amusedly: "What are you doing? If you ask me for something, just get up and say it. You know, I don't like it."

"Master...have you seen the imperial physician?" Jia Lian's voice at this time was trembling with something he didn't know.For no other reason, he felt that if Lin Ruhai collapsed suddenly at this time, half of his life would be lost.

"I've read it. Didn't I tell you? Life and death... Get up!" Lin Ruhai stretched out his withered and thin hand and gave him a hand.Jia Lian looked at the finger, and tears fell uncontrollably.Lin Ruhai looked at it with mixed feelings, this child... He hid his hand with his sleeve and patted him on the shoulder lightly: "Master is old, I can't pull you anymore. Get up quickly."

"Yes!" Jia Lian sniffed, stood up and lowered her head, wiping the teardrops on her face with her sleeve.

"Sit down!" Lin Ruhai pointed to the chair opposite her.Although this child has become a father, he is still a child after all with a crown.Just looking at myself sick, tears welled up.If I was gone that day, wouldn't I be stupid?He shook his head with a wry smile: "What is the will today?"

"Yes!" Jia Lian nodded, lowered his head and said in a low voice: "I see, the emperor seems to be preparing for the funeral. Thinking about it, why don't we send the female relatives away first."

"It's not that bad. Besides, we are all high-ranking people in the country. If we send the female relatives away rashly, I am afraid that the country will be over without waiting for foreign enemies to invade. The emperor bestowed the title of Prince Zoucheng and his family, so to speak. I am worried that after the death of the old emperor, the emperor's uncle will use the shelf to hold the emperor. But if my family, your father-in-law's family, and your family are all gone. What will happen? What will the people think? What will those soldiers think? They throw their heads and blood outside Yes, isn't it for the safety of the wives and children in the rear? But those of us officials and lords above send their wives and children away first, what will happen to them?"

When Jia Lian heard this, her ears turned red with shame.Lin Ruhai also knew that although he had been with him all these years, in the final analysis, the education of the meritorious family was still on him.He didn't want to change these things too much, but he just hoped that Jia Lian could understand the difference between righteousness and summary.

Coming out of Lin Ruhai's home in the evening, Jia Lian didn't enter the house, but hid in the carriage and drove away the people around him. After crying bitterly, he tidied up his face in the porter's house before returning home.He didn't want Brother Feng to discover his changes. What his wife and son needed was not a weak husband and father.He needs to take care of the family, after all he is not alone.

When Wang Xifeng heard the emperor's will, he understood right and wrong.The Zhen family didn't fall so early back then, it wasn't until the rebellion in Ping'an Prefecture that their family fell down.It took more than two years for the rebellion in Ping'an Prefecture to end.But in the end, it was shaken to the foundation.Coupled with the floods in the south and the collapse of river embankments, the country has become precarious.It's just that meritorious families, such as old ladies, are still extravagant, so I have a peaceful scene.But the good times didn't last long, and the Xixia army entered and the Shijia brothers were folded inside.Yuan Chun passed away, and the Wei family was gone.

After she coaxed Jia Cang to sleep, when she returned to the main room, she saw Jia Lian ordering a jug of wine and sitting in front of the kang table, looking very comfortable.She walked over with a smile and sat on the other side facing each other: "What is the happy event today that makes you so happy?"

Jia Lian picked up a glass of wine and took a sip: "Father has finally entered the imperial court, isn't it a good thing? In the future, next year I will seek a new position. I can't say, I can sit in the official department first."

Wang Xifeng was very surprised to hear that he could enter the Ministry of Officials.But after thinking about it, she understood: "Did you go to Uncle Lin's house?"

"Smart!" Jia Lian stretched out his hand to shave his daughter-in-law's tender face, and said with a smile: "Master is the old man at the moment. I'm just going to find a fifth-rank official, so I'm sure I can succeed, right?"

"It's a good thing! But Uncle Jing, I'm afraid I'm going to miscalculate!" Wang Xifeng remembered what Yi Shi had told her, and smiled and asked people to have dinner: "I said before that I let you pass this period and enter Gyeonggi Daying Camp!"

Hearing this, Jia Lian quickly waved his hands: "My God...why didn't you tell me earlier. How can this be done? Let me deal with people. This is a war...I may not even kill a rabbit!"

"Pfft!" Wang Xifeng looked at him, lowered his head and laughed.She pursed her lips: "It's interesting for you to deal with this matter. Let's see if it's Uncle Jing, the chief manager of the capital, or Uncle Lin, the old man who has the final say. Anyway, as long as you can make progress in the future, give it to my brother." Lay a good foundation. I don’t think it makes any difference where you go. Anyway, our family does not lack your two or three salaries to live on.”

"Oh my god!" Thinking of Jia Jing, Jia Lian repeatedly yelled at her mother and patted her forehead: "When I saw Uncle Jing, I was so frightened that I trembled all over. How do you let me deal with it? Forget it... Take one step at a time!"

He can only comfort himself in this way at this time.Whether it's the future, whether the country will perish in the future, or Lin Ruhai's body...you can only take one step at a time!

It's another new year, and the war in Ping'an Prefecture is still in a state of anxiety.But fortunately, it has not deteriorated but has improved.The Prince of Nan'an's family returned to Beijing, replaced by the young generals Jia Jing trained in recent years.Right now, winter and spring are just when the sea breeze is fierce, and the time to switch defenses is just right.

Jia Lian has been worrying about Lin Ruhai's health every day these days, but after a while of recuperation, he still got better.But at this time, I heard that even at the cabinet meeting, he would cough non-stop.He would even spit out everything he ate, for which he had stayed in the palace many times.If it weren't for Lin Ruhai's constant emphasis on monarchs and ministers, the emperor would have been detained directly in the palace.

However, all this finally ended after Daiyu's 15th birthday.After Lin Ruhai presided over the big ceremony for her daughter Jiji, she fell ill.But fortunately, he has arranged for Daiyu to marry the Su family in Yangzhou, and the other party is also a noble family.Although the recent generations have not entered the dynasty, they are all old families like the Lin family in the final analysis.

After the news of the great victory in Ping'an Prefecture came out, Lin Ruhai, who had been holding his body up for a breath, closed his eyes.Jia Lian stayed by his bedside all those days.He listened to Lin Ruhai's instruction sentence by sentence, every word pierced into his heart and kept him awake at night.When Lin Ruhai closed his eyes, he also collapsed.Wang Xifeng looked at Jia Lian who was as dumb as a chicken, and didn't know how to persuade him.All he could do was watch, because Lin Han was young, wearing hemp and filial piety as a true disciple.

She originally wanted to stop this matter.But Jia Amnesty supported Jia Lian on one side, as a daughter-in-law, she couldn't say anything.After all, my father agrees, doesn't he?

Lin Ruhai's coffin was parked in the Royal Tinglan Hall dedicated to meritorious ministers, and he paid homage to the court for three days.This Confucian scholar, with his demeanor, has made many people who work with him recognize his knowledge and ability.Of course, many of them went there just to look at the emperor's face.

The author has something to say: finally let him die... This time he really died...
