The Warm Jade of the Red Chamber

Emperor Chunyou and Zhuang Yu sat firmly in the Chengqi Palace and waited to see the Supreme Emperor show his might. As a result, when the relevant personnel involved in rebellion were all executed and exiled, the Supreme Emperor did not find out the evidence from Zhuang Xi's side.

Seeing the good news from Zhuang Ye, the Empress of Qianxiang Kingdom bowed her head to the Dajing Dynasty and even let the empress dowager go to Beijing with Zhuang Ye, in the name of studying and making good relations between the two countries, but in fact she was in the capital as a pledge.

Zhuang Yu was so anxious that he scratched his head and scratched his head. He really wanted to finish the task quickly so that he could go home. He missed his soft and fragrant wife, but after he threatened and molested her that day, she never gave him another chance. Even if she followed Qiu Qingyu into the palace to meet Emperor Chunyou or the Empress, she would never get close to him, let alone be alone with him.

"Uncle Emperor," Zhuang Yu couldn't help pleading for mercy to Emperor Chunyou, "Look, now that things are almost done, can my nephew retire?"

Emperor Chunyou originally looked at Zhuang Yu's sloppy teeth, and wanted to kick him out of the palace as soon as possible, but now that Zhuang Yu was anxious, he calmed down and said, "What's the hurry, Father, the old man hasn't checked yet. It’s useful, but it’s just cleaning up a few nails. If there are still some nails that haven’t been cleaned up, I’m in danger. Can you afford it? You’d better wait for your father-in-law and his substitute to come back from Hunan. At that time, it’s not too late to go home in a legitimate way.”

Zhuang Yu had no choice but to stay by Emperor Chunyou's side in despondency, slandering the Supreme Emperor's inefficiency, and hoping that Lin Hai and the others could return to Beijing as soon as possible. reason to keep him.

It's not that the Taishanghuang is inefficient in handling affairs, but that after finding out the nails in the palace, he is more and more critical of the truth obtained from the investigation, for fear of being used and misled by others. Continue to check in that direction, so it will naturally slow down.

Around the emperor, empress, and prince, there are nails arranged by that person, and each nail is not simple, so it can be seen that the people behind this scene are definitely not simple.

The Supreme Emperor didn't want to doubt Zhuang Xi. After all, there were not many of his sons left now. Apart from Emperor Chunyou, Zhuang Xi, and Zhuang Ye, there was only the old nine loyal Prince Zhuang Xi, who was a master of idleness, eating, drinking and having fun. , Every time the Supreme Emperor sees him, he wants to kick his ass.

The more the Supreme Emperor checked, the more frightened he became. Zhuang Xi, a dignified, unsmiling and loyal prince, secretly stretched out his hands so long that there were nails placed by him even beside him, which made the Supreme Emperor very surprised and unbelievable.

But no matter how surprised, angry and disappointed the Taishanghuang was behind his back, Zhuang Xi still conscientiously did what he should do, keeping a low profile and introverted, so that the Taishanghuang couldn't help hesitating how to deal with him.

However, this hesitation finally disappeared when Lin Hai and "Zhuang Yu" continued to be assassinated on the way back to Beijing, and Zhuang Ye was also repeatedly assassinated on the way back to Beijing.

Zhuang Xi has never been so depressed as he is now. He is used to hiding himself and hiding his deepest ambitions under the appearance of indifference. However, this time the failure was not concealed as he wished.

Zhuang Sheng and Zhuang Wei were involved in the various assassination plans of Zhuang Xi, Zhuang Yu and his son. Of course, he was no exception. Anyone who had thoughts about that seat would not hope that the father and son would return to Beijing safely.

Originally, he had already planned to make Zhuang Sheng and Zhuang Wei the scapegoats. Anyway, they also made a move, but now that Zhuang Sheng is dead, that stupid Zhuang Wei, at this time, ignored the danger of exposure, and took his hands. Withdrew.Zhuang Xi was really disappointed in him. If Zhuang Wei dared to make a gamble at this time, Zhuang Xi's father and son died, and Zhuang Yan's biggest supporter would be gone. He might still have a glimmer of hope to reach the top.But now, his malice towards Zhuang Ye and his son has been exposed, so he can only wait to fall all the way.

However, for the sake of safety, Zhuang Xi had a one-line contact with the assassins arranged by him, and it was already too late when he gave the order to cancel the operation.

He was defeated after all, because of his over-cautious heart, and also because of his cowardice. If he had been bolder in the beginning, attracted a few generals, and had a little bit of military power in his hands, he wouldn't have to do everything like this. Depend on others.However, if he had shown his ambition early on, he probably wouldn't have had the chance to do so many things later.

Forget it, winners and losers have been like this since ancient times.

Zhuang Xi was so ruthless and broke his heart, knowing that he had no way out, he simply went to the Supreme Palace by himself, confessed his crime, and only asked for the safety of his children.Of course he is not a great person, but now that he has no way out, so why not take his own life in exchange for the greatest benefit?

The Supreme Emperor was finally persuaded by Zhuang Xi, and he couldn't bear to wipe out all of Zhuang Xi's lineage. Following Zhuang Xi's "severe illness and death", this scene started with Zhuang Sheng, and Zhuang Wei and Zhuang Xi participated in the drama. Finally, the curtain ended quietly, but it is temporarily unknown how many undercurrents are left.

Daiyu didn't know many inside stories about this, but only knew that when she knew that her father, father king, and that "Zhuang Yu" were attacked, she was so shocked that her heart seemed to jump out of her throat.

Fortunately, the news of everyone's safety came back immediately, which made Daiyu put her heart back where it was.

Lin Hai has already set off and returned, and Jia Min's illness is getting worse.What Daiyu is asking now is just to hope that Jia Min can last until Lin Hai comes back, at least let them see each other for the last time, otherwise, it will be a lifelong regret.

Jia Min didn't know the news of Lin Hai's attack, but heard from Daiyu that Lin Hai would arrive in the capital in a few days, and she couldn't help thinking about how to get Lin Hai to agree to let Lin Ji join the army. She knew she was being selfish, but as a A mother, she really hopes to use her life to do something for her own son.

Lin Hai reunited with the real Zhuang Yu outside Beijing, and the fake Zhuang Yu naturally let go of his disguise and returned to his true colors.

Zhuang Yu was finally able to leave the palace and go home, feeling a lot more relaxed in his heart, but it was a pity that Daiyu was still guarding the Lin family, and Jia Min's physical condition was getting worse and worse. Perhaps it was just these two months, and his heart was inevitably Feeling sorry for Daiyu.

Because Zhuang Yu had something to say to Lin Hai, he got into Lin Hai's carriage, picked and told about Lin Ji's going to join the army, so as not to quarrel with Jia Min when he returned, and it would be Daiyu who would be in trouble.

Lin Hai was silent for a long time, and finally at the moment of entering the city gate, he said to Zhuang Yu, "If that's the case, then Ji'er, please." You can't even die in peace, not to mention what Jia Min did during the time he was not at home, has left a deep mark on Lin Ji's heart.It would be fine if he could break out of his own world under Zhuang Yu through Lin Ji's army, but if he insisted on keeping Lin Ji at home to study at home, there might be some disputes between the two brothers in the future.Lin Hai is getting old, and the physical discomfort of this trip has already forced him to accept his old age, and he doesn't want to worry about the conflicts between the two sons in the future, so it's better to let them go, anyway, Dai With Yu and Zhuang Yu around, they won't suffer if they try their best.

Naturally, Zhuang Yu solemnly agreed, that's what he planned to do.

Lin Hai and Zhuang Yu's convoy traveled all the way, passing through the West Market, and at three o'clock in the afternoon, the execution was taking place on the execution ground. Seeing that Lin Hai was puzzled, Zhuang Yu explained: "It should be Zhen Yingjia's house, and it should be in Beijing, so I put him in custody." Here to execute the execution."

Lin Hai slightly raised the curtain of the car, and took a look. There were many people watching. He couldn't see the appearance of the beheaded person clearly, so he put down the curtain casually.

They have to go to the palace to return to their orders, and they have no time to stay here. Lin Hai has no interest in seeing people beheaded.

After talking with Lin Hai, Zhuang Yu ran out of the carriage and rode a horse. He and Wei Ruolan sat on a tall horse. They had good eyesight, but they watched the execution process very closely. .

Zhen Yingjia behaved very calmly, although his description was a bit embarrassed, but he still couldn't hide his demeanor.

Zhuang Yu couldn't help but said, "This Zhen Yingjia is quite talented, what a pity."

Wei Ruolan shrugged and said: "What if you are talented? The whole family is a hindrance, and he is helpless. He has no other choice but to be dragged to death. Besides, he has no successors, and he supports this family to death." Probably no one can pass on the karma. It is amazing to say that the son of Zhen Yingjia, named Baoyu, and Jia Baoyu of the Rongguo Mansion were poured out of the same mold. Not only did they look exactly the same Even their temperaments are very similar. I heard that once again the two exchanged their identities and got together with the gang of dandies, but no one found any flaws until they finally revealed the mystery themselves. It can be seen that they really look alike."

Zhuang Yu has also heard about this matter. The two Baoyus have the same appearance and temperament. In this capital, it can be regarded as an anecdote, and it is inevitable that people will talk about it.

Wei Ruolan continued: "Speaking of which, Jia Baoyu has some relationship with you, why don't we go quietly to see what this 'real' Baoyu looks like, next time we see 'fake' Baoyu , You can also verify whether it is really the same."

Wei Ruolan laughed and said, "The surnames of these two families are really interesting, one is 'true' and the other is 'false', which contrasts with the one from Rongguo Mansion as 'fake jade' Yes, it's really mysterious."

Zhuang Yu glared at him angrily, and said, "Didn't you realize that the number of people looking at us is no less than the number of people looking at the execution ground? It's really fantastic to want to 'quietly' go there and take a look."

Wei Ruolan looked around, indeed, many people who were watching but couldn't see clearly what was going on inside the execution ground had already turned their heads to look at their convoy.

At the moment when she was about to return to the palace, Wei Ruolan could only shrug her shoulders, and looked at the center of the execution ground with regret, thinking whether these two "precious jades" were real, or were others exaggerating?I'm afraid I won't have the chance to verify it myself.
