[Red Mansion] The happiness of a winner in life

Jia Amnesty packs himself up and takes Laifu to see Jia Daishan.Because of the snow disaster, the emperor and Jia Daishan didn't have time to pay attention to Zhishi. Now that Jia Amnesty has returned safely, this matter can be put on the agenda again.

When Jia Amnesty arrived at Rongyang Hall, he still heard the sound of Jia's mother throwing something, but the sound disappeared instantly after hearing the notification from the people in the yard.Jia Amnesty didn't care too much, Shi Shi had long been tortured by headaches and various diseases from time to time, and she no longer looked like the noble lady she used to be.When I didn't get sick, I was still a little rational, but when I got sick, it was like a different person.

With a normal expression, he walked to Shi's gate and made a bow, then went to the upper room to look for Jia Daishan. At this time, Jia Daishan was already sitting and waiting for him.Seeing Jia Amnesty come in, he pointed to the seat next to him, "Sit down."

Jia She sat down as he said, Jia Daishan looked at Jia She and sighed for a while. "Are you still blaming me?"

Jia She showed an incredulous expression, why would he think that he didn't blame him?Although he understood Jia Daishan's actions, he was not the kind of person who would stretch his face and let others beat him.

Jia Daishan knew the answer by looking at Jia Amnesty's expression, and he also knew that there was a rift between father and son.He didn't pretend to be affectionate and said that "the father guides the son", he knew this son well.

"I plan to apply for an official post again in two days. Both you and Zheng'er have titles, and you are both adults who stand on top of the door. I won't look good standing in the court again."

Jia Daishan was a bit lonely. He made great achievements on the battlefield in the first half of his life, and after returning to the court, he was also the one who was flattered by everyone and stood in front of all the courtiers.

From then on, all his glories are in the past tense, and no one will mention him as an outdated old Duke and first-rank official again.He is just an ordinary minister who is at home.

But Jia Daishan was also very relieved to see his eldest son in high spirits.A person's life is too short, and what he fears most is that he has not built an inch of merit and has no successor.

His eldest son can continue the Jia family's Rongguo for two more generations, and he will die without regret in his life, and he will have the face to meet his ancestors in the future.

"I called you here to ask your thoughts. Are you optimistic about the fourth prince when you go to the disaster relief this time? We always have to wait and see. It is also a good fate to make conveniences when necessary."

Jia Daishan changed the subject, wanting to hear Jia She's thoughts on the heir to the throne.Anyone with a discerning eye knows that although the prince is still deeply loved, judging from the current situation, he will be deposed sooner or later.

The Zhen family, like the four families of King Xue of Jia Shi, are all aristocratic families in Jinling.It stands to reason that they should have supported the third prince who was named King of Zhongxiao County, and they were even more affectionate.But the eldest daughter-in-law seems to have an old grievance with Concubine Zhen Gui, and the previous empress died for no apparent reason, which caused the relationship between the two families to be somewhat delicate over the years.

It was no different when Shi Shi was in charge of the family, he was often invited into the palace when he had free time.Now that the eldest daughter-in-law is in charge, it is more convenient for her to enter the palace, but she has never sat with Concubine Zhen.

They also had to think about it, if the death of Empress Xian really had something to do with Concubine Zhen Gui, then the Jia family and Zhen family could only cool down slowly, and they would also have to block Duke Zhongxiao to prevent him from succeeding to the throne.

After Jia Amnesty heard this, he thought for a moment whether he should tell him and Mizusawa's plan, but later, when he thought about such a thing and let Jia Daishan know about it, he might have other thoughts.

"The prince of Zhongjing is not bad in talent and ability, and his character is also excellent, but he is a bit too strict and diligent. If he is a real prince, it may be excellent, but if it is... I am afraid it will not last long."

Jia Daishan nodded after hearing this, he had also come into contact with King Zhongjing, and he really couldn't tolerate sand in his eyes.The superior person needs to be both firm and soft to be considered good, blindly tough will not last long.

It is said that when the water is clear, there will be no fish, and sometimes you have to turn a blind eye.After all, who can stand in this hall is not inextricably linked?To act casually will only cause panic.

Only when you are in the position do you know the difficulties. The relationship between courtiers and the emperor is not simply one of loyalty and being loyal.There will be games, confrontation and cooperation between them. If they cannot learn to balance and compromise, the atmosphere in the court will be too tense.

Jia Daishan sighed, "What are you and your wife thinking? Our family and the Zhen family are old relatives, and now we are afraid that we will gradually break up. The king of Zhongxiao County cannot be chosen, and the prince is about to die. Only the king of Zhongyong County is left. And loyal to the county king."

Jia She said with a smile: "Then just don't choose, and no matter who is in power, don't dare to attack me. Let's just sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight, why worry so much?"

Seeing Jia She like this, Jia Daishan almost didn't come up. He has always been loyal to the emperor and patriotic, so he naturally wanted to choose Mingjun as his assistant.In this way, the common people can also live and work in peace and contentment, and the Jia family can also enjoy each other.

Only the king of Zhongjing County has the appearance of a Mingjun, but he is upright and strict.He wanted to follow the dragon, but he thought that the contribution of the eldest son was enough, so he didn't say any more.

"Let's not talk about it. From now on, you will be the head of the Jia family, and I won't be able to take care of it anymore. But, do you know where the supplies escorted by King Zhongjing come from?"

Jia Amnesty shook his head, he didn't have time to understand when he just came back.It's just that King Zhongjing mentioned that it was sent by wealthy businessmen who saw the national crisis and launched a fundraising campaign.

The status of businessmen is low, and they are happy to do things that can exchange money for fame.They have money, but what they lack is respected status.

"It was jointly donated by several imperial merchants, the most of which was our old relative Xue's family. The emperor was very happy and rewarded a plaque of 'House of Benevolence and Kindness'." Jia Daishan knew that the relationship between the eldest son and Xue Jing of the Xue family had always been good, so he deliberately Tell him the news.

"Is there something else?" If it was just a donation of supplies, Jia Amnesty did not believe that Jia Daishan would specifically mention it.

"The Duke of Zhongxiao made a special contact with the old man of the Xue family when he went to Beijing, and the crown prince also went. The old man of the Xue family also has a girl, and it's time to get married."

Jia She's complexion was a bit bad, Xue Jing was his close friend, if Xue Jing's sister married a royal, it would inevitably affect his decision.If there is a conflict with the royal family in the future, it may affect the relationship between the two.

"Now people are going back to Jinling. I don't know if it will be successful. I may have found an excuse to block it in the capital, but the royal family is determined to accept it, and the Xue family probably can't do anything about it."

Jia Daishan also didn't want Xue's family to marry their daughter to the royal family. The four major families of them were all in a group, and Xue's family was their pocketbook.If they are really married to the royal family, I am afraid that the Xue family will join the royal family.

Jia Amnesty didn't say anything, and the two talked about something else so they didn't say anything more.After Jia Amnesty returned to his study, he asked Laixing to sort out the letters. He took a general look at the letters and only Xue Jing and a few friends he had made before.

Although he and Xue Jing didn't meet each other very often, they had been communicating with each other in recent years.Their friendship has not faded because of the distance, and they keep in touch from time to time.

Mizusawa opened the door and entered the study, "I forgot, there are still some things about the Xue family that I didn't tell you. Brother Xue sent you a few letters, and I put them there without opening them."

Mizusawa walked to the chair next to the desk and sat down, watching Jia Shen open the letter and put his head over to read it together.Jia Amnesty dragged the chair towards him, and Shui Ze moved over a little.

"Let's take a look, but a lot of things have happened in the past two months." Jia She stared at the words above, "He said that the crown prince wanted to take his sister as a concubine, and his father ordered the marriage late Refused."

Mizusawa smiled, "I guess it's the same. Brother Xue is a shrewd man, not to mention that the crown prince's status is not stable now. Even if the status is stable, he is not something that a businessman can get involved in."

Jia She nodded, "That's fine, but it's a pity that his sister will remarry a few years later, and I don't know how many rumors there will be. It's a pity."

Mizusawa looked at him and smiled, "I'm going to start a women's school."

Jia Amnesty understood Shui Ze's meaning, "That's fine, but the military power is not guaranteed. I wanted to hand it in when I was in front of the saint, but His Majesty asked me to keep it first. According to His Majesty, there have been some changes in the northwest and south recently."

Mizusawa took out a map, "Northwest... There was a blizzard in the northeast, so the loss in the northwest should be greater. Although only a few counties in the northeast were affected by the disaster, there were no large-scale deaths in other places."

Mizusawa looked at the map carefully, "They have suffered a lot, and they must go south to plunder when the spring begins. Maybe the disaster is even worse, and they will go south before the spring begins. The time should be almost here."

"Father came back from the northwest back then, and our Jia family still had the prestige there. His Majesty should appoint me as a lieutenant general and choose another general to go out with him."

Mizusawa's eyes lit up, "Then...would you call father as the general again? Father is familiar with the Northwest, and even though he is a little older, you will charge for him. If there is a good story about father and son in battle again, father will let you go together went."

Jia Amnesty frowned thinking of this, "But in this way, the 30 troops in the Northwest will be under the command of my father. It's okay if I'm not here, but if I'm on the battlefield, my father will definitely pave the way for me. It's impossible for Your Majesty not to think of this."

"That's because you don't know your father, and you don't know what your father knows about your father. Their monarchs and ministers have been in harmony with each other for many years. Even if the military power is taken away, my marriage will guarantee it. Father naturally knows his father's loyalty, and I married him again. Here it is, if you disagree, I will report it."

Mizusawa was quite sure about the temperament of the emperor and Jia Daishan. The emperor always advocated "no doubts in employing people", and with the fact that Jia Daishan offered military power earlier, it shouldn't be a big problem.

Jia Amnesty nodded, "Since that's the case, there are changes on both sides. If our father and son go to the northwest, someone should go to the south. The Zhenguo family...their family has quite a few talents."

"We'll just wait. The news is not complete yet, and I can't analyze it. It's just... once your father and son leave, Lian'er and I won't be able to get out. If we fight for a few more years... "

Shui Ze looked at Jia Amnesty with some reluctance, the general was away and his family members wanted to stay in Beijing.I don't know how many years it will take to fight over there, and if the emperor dies and Jia Amnesty can't come back, their plan will come to nothing.

"Don't worry, I'll be fine. And, try to make it as quick as possible, it won't take too long." Jia She rubbed Mizusawa's head, he wasn't sure how long it would be, so he could only try to guarantee it.
