Youwei, the heir of the Red Chamber

Feng Ziying defeated the Junjishan bandits with three thousand main troops. When the excerpts reached the capital, the emperor dropped the inkstone in the imperial study on the spot, and the black ink stained the bright yellow dragon robe cuffs.

Seeing this, the palace people all prostrated themselves on the ground and shivered.

There was coldness in the emperor's eyes, and a mocking smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.It's strange that a great country is no match for Rouran's iron hooves, but it turns out that the leader is a mediocre person.Even mere gangsters can damage a general. If there is another war in the future, wouldn't it be the result of annihilation of the entire army.

Although Xu Ru on the side also lamented that the generals are not good enough, they still have to worry about the situation in front of them.Now that Feng Ziying is dead, if there is more investigation, Feng Tang may not think well. Besides, the emperor has never made any words of reprimand after hearing the news, the emperor may have to bear it for a while.

"Your Majesty, rest your anger."

The emperor clenched his fists, swept the folder on the ground with one hand, supported the table with one hand, bowed his head and remained silent.The palace people in the imperial study room were still kneeling on the ground, not daring to take a breath.

After a while, the emperor said: "Everyone go down."

As if they had been pardoned, the palace people hurriedly retreated and filed out.

Xu Ru picked up the notebook, the handwriting on it was very familiar with love, it was written by his grandson.Thinking that his frail grandson was far away in the bitter cold of the frontier, he was really worried.The old woman has not had a good sleep for several days.I don't know if my grandson will be implicated this time. After all, he is in charge of Yecheng's military and government affairs. I'm afraid I can't absolve myself of the blame for such a thing.

He stretched out his hand to stroke his white beard, and sighed slightly.

"Your Majesty, now that Feng Ziying is dead, I'm afraid it's inappropriate to hold him accountable."

The emperor raised his head, his face was a little heavy, "Teacher, the bottom line is that this soldier is useless, and the commander is responsible. Now that the emperor is protecting Feng Tang, it is difficult for me to pursue it. As long as I think about me, Da Yuan The gates of the country are guarded by such mediocre people, and my heart seeps into people."

Xu Ru nodded, because he understood the reason. "Wei Chen understands, but at this moment he can only bear it." He paused for a while, but finally couldn't help asking, "Your Majesty, how should Jia Lian be dealt with?"

"He is a civil servant, and it is not easy to manage Yecheng well. Besides, Feng Ziying is the main vanguard this time, so the crime is not as good as him."

Hearing this, Xu Rufang really felt relieved.

The emperor naturally knew what Xu Ru was thinking, so he didn't point it out, he just said: "Teacher, Jia Lian is your grandson, do you think this person is useful?"

"The emperor means..." Doubt Lian'er?

Xu Ru didn't say it out loud. All along, he only regarded the smart Jia Lian as his grandson in his heart. From an unassuming prodigal son to a world-renowned number one scholar, no matter how he changed, his identity was always his grandson. , and no other ideas.But today the emperor raised this question, and Xu Ru just really remembered that this grandson is not only his blood relative, he is also the heir of the four princes and eight princes.He is about to inherit the title of Rongguo Mansion, so has he inherited the covenant between Rongguo Mansion and the deposed prince?For the first time, I feel that I still don't know much about my grandson.But so what?For the past three years, Lian'er has been a clean and honest official, with outstanding talent, and his character is a model for the children of Beijing. He has his own blood in his body, so...

Bowing son, he said earnestly: "Your Majesty, my minister pledges his life, and Lian'er is a man of loyalty and integrity."

"Teacher is serious." The emperor suddenly smiled.Then he stood up and walked to Xu Ru, stretched out his hand to support Xu Ru, "Teacher is one of the people I can trust."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." He bowed again, but this time he stood up straight.

The emperor turned around and paced up and down the steps, his bright yellow dragon boots stepping on the weighbridge, making a delicate sound.

As the saying goes, the king's heart is unpredictable, Xu Ru didn't know what kind of thoughts the emperor, who was brought up by his own professor, was thinking at this time, he waited quietly for the emperor to speak.

After half a cup of tea, the tranquility of the imperial study finally broke, "Teacher, I want to promote Jia Lian to control the situation in Eastern Xinjiang."

Xu Ru looked slightly startled, "What does Your Majesty mean?"

"I want to use Jia Lian's previous suggestion - divide and rule the military and government. This time the bandit suppression is an opportunity. I will order Feng Tang to concentrate on military training, and Jia Lian will be responsible for the rest of the military. He is already the military and political officer of Yecheng. It is also feasible for the prefect to be supervised by him."

"But the soldiers and horses in the Eastern Borderlands have always been in Feng Tang's hands. I'm afraid the Emperor will not agree."

"It's just a trivial matter in the army, and it doesn't damage his right to command. Only in this way can Feng Tang avoid covering the sky with one hand."

If Xu Ru thinks according to his own selfishness at this time, he does not want Jia Lian to participate in the imperial power.He has already helped his grandson figure out his career path.At this time, Lian'er will stay in Dongjiang for a year or two, and after the experience becomes more stable, I will find a way to get him back to work in Kyoto.His Royal Highness the crown prince is still young, with Lian'er's outstanding performance and his own recommendation, he is worthy of the post of crown prince and tutor.I will take over my mantle in the future.Taiping I.But at this time it seemed that the emperor didn't want Lian'er to go this way, Xu Ru struggled a little.

Seeing that Xu Ru hadn't said anything, the emperor asked with doubts on his face, "Teacher thinks something is wrong?"

"He is still young, how can he bear this important task?"

"Teacher's words are wrong. Jia Lian is the most suitable person. He is both civil and military. He has shared my worries for the past three years. He is a capable minister. Although he is young, he is calm and stable, not inferior to some sour and old ministers. The most important thing is that he is the descendant of the Eighth Duke, just for this alone, the Emperor Father will not stop him, not to mention that the Jia family and the Zhen family are also relatives."

Why didn't Xu Ru think of this, it's just selfishness, even a well-known scholar in the world, after all, he is just an old man who doesn't want to part with his grandson.It's just that now that the emperor has opened his mouth and moved his mind, no matter how displeased he is, he can only obey the emperor's orders.

He sighed inwardly, bowed and saluted, "Your Majesty is wise."

Since Jia Lian went to work in Yecheng, East Xinjiang, Jia She has been paying close attention to the news from there, and the whole court knows about the bandit suppression.As the person in charge of this matter, my son wondered if he would be implicated?If involved, how will it be dealt with?With these worries in mind, Jia Amnesty couldn't eat well for a few days, couldn't sleep well, and didn't have a good temper when he met anyone.Especially when he saw the smile on Wang's face when he went to pay his respects to Mrs. Jia, he felt that he was taking pleasure in other's misfortune, and cursed in his heart that Wang, a vicious woman, had a bad mouth.

I only hate that my third sister and brother-in-law have gone back to Yangzhou, and there is no one to discuss with them now.Mrs. Xing's family is also incompetent, and she handles the family's rotten millet affairs in a messy and out of tune manner.

At this time, Jia Amnesty suddenly missed Jia Lian's biological mother Xu Hanzhang very much.I think that Zhang Er was also a talented woman who was well-known in the capital. If the old Duke hadn't asked for this marriage with the affection of the previous generation and the royal family when he was alive, how could Zhang Er marry her? Alas... only Zhang Er Only such a woman can give birth to such an outstanding son as Lian'er.He suddenly felt that he should go to the clan to offer incense to Mrs. Xu, and have a good chat with Mrs. Xu about the troubles in his heart.

On weekdays, apart from family sacrifices, Jia She never visited his wife Xu alone.In the beginning, they were young couples, so it was inevitable to be sad.Later, she gradually got a new love, and she forgot all the things in the past that should have been forgotten. In addition, Jia Lian had been with the second wife since childhood, so she hated her even more.So when he came to see Mrs. Xu again, Jia Amnesty's nose became sore and his eyes turned red.

He stretched out his hand to caress Xu's spirit card, with snot and tears. "Ma'am, your spirit in heaven will protect our Lian'er."

"Shameless, you are useless, and you still have the face to beg for a dead woman!" The old man's voice suddenly came from behind, making Jia She jump in shock.

Jia She turned around clutching his little heart, and saw an old man in a black robe with dark patterns and tufted flowers, with gray hair and a dignified complexion.The most important thing is that this person is looking at him angrily, which can be called cold eyebrows.

"Er..." Who is this, it seems to be kind.

"Beast!"

Jia Amnesty thumped, and subconsciously knelt down on the ground.The only person in the world who likes to call himself an 'evil animal' is really no one else except his extremely dignified old father-in-law.

It's no wonder that Jia Amnesty didn't know his father-in-law.Since Mrs. Xu left, every time Xu Ru met Jia She, he beat and scolded him, so that every time Jia She heard Xu Ru's name, he avoided the road, and was even joked that "the mouse met the cat". .In the past ten years, the Weng and his son-in-law have never met each other.

Jia She didn't remember the father-in-law, but Xu Ru engraved Jia She's wretched appearance in his heart, and he had to scold him every day to relieve his hatred.Later, when Jia Lian became successful, Xu Ru always felt that this was the inheritance of the fine lineage of his Xu family, and had nothing to do with this believer in Jia.

Today Xu Ru thought of Jia Lian's worrying future and felt depressed, so he missed his daughter.After saying hello to the family members of Jia's mansion, they entered the ancestral hall. Unexpectedly, as soon as they entered the door, they heard that this worthless beast was shamelessly asking for help from his own daughter!Thinking of this, Xu Ru became furious, and he yelled at Jia She, who was kneeling in front of him with a wretched look: "My Zhang'er owes you something, and I worried about you when I was alive. I want to solve your problems for you!"

Jia She shook his head and lowered his head, not daring to look at his father-in-law.He said, "My son-in-law is just talking casually, dare not, dare not bother Zhang'er."

Xu Ru ignored Jia Amnesty, walked to the spirit tablet by himself, and put a small bag of pastries in his hand on it. "Zhang'er, daddy brought you your favorite sweet-scented osmanthus cake, you should eat more. As for this kid's nonsense, don't listen to a single word."

Immediately, he lowered his head, and gave a heavy "hum" to Jia She, who trembled again.

Seeing Jia She's straight-backed appearance, Xu Ru felt angry, "Fortunately, Lian'er looks like Zhang'er. If she looks like you, what future can there be?"

Hearing this, Jia She was dissatisfied, he suddenly raised his head, suddenly saw his father-in-law's angry face, and immediately lowered his head again.Unconvinced in his words, he said: "People say that Lian'er has the demeanor of my son-in-law when he was young."

"Oh—" the voice raised, "Who said that? I'm afraid it's your cronies. You believe what other people say to coax you. If you are so unstable, you are really the father of Lian'er."

"Er..." Jia She choked.

"Forget it, I don't want to argue with you in front of Zhang Er, so as not to disturb her intimacy." He turned around and took a few steps outside. When he was approaching the door, he secretly glanced back and saw that Jia Amnesty was still kneeling obediently. Where.Feeling soft, he turned around and came back, standing in front of Jia She.

Jia Amnesty thought that his father-in-law had repented, and that he had to step on him a few times, so he gritted his teeth and was ready to be beaten.After waiting for a while, there was no movement.Suddenly, the foot in front of him took half a step back.Jia She was overjoyed, could it be that the father-in-law is old and has no strength?

"Cough, cough, cough!"

Just as Jia Amnesty was thinking, he heard several heavy coughs coming from above, the tone seemed to be intentional.When I was wondering, I heard my father-in-law speak again.

"In a few days, someone is going to the eastern border, and it will be cold there soon. The family letters, clothes and utensils have been prepared early. Also, Lian'er is not as useless as you, so don't worry about Zhang'er all day long." .” Then he turned and went out again.

Jia Amnesty leaned on the ground and listened carefully to the footsteps. After confirming that the footsteps had disappeared, he raised his body in peace and got up from the ground.

"Ouch." There was a numbness in the calf.

Jia She simply sat down on the futon and rubbed his legs.

He turned his mind a few times, thinking about what the father-in-law said just now, and muttered to himself: "Ma'am, do you mean that father-in-law told me that Lian'er is fine? He also asked me to prepare food, which means Is Lian'er all right?"

After thinking about it carefully, I felt more and more that this was the meaning, and Jia She's heart came alive, and he stood up swiftly, wiped Xu's spirit tablet with his sleeve, and said excitedly: "Madam, it really is true that you It's just to solve my husband's worries and problems. I only came to see you once, and everything was solved. It really is my husband's good wife. Well, I will go back and prepare things for Lian'er for my husband. When I have time in the future, I will do it. Come to see you." After finishing speaking, he put the spirit card carefully on the case, turned around and walked out cheerfully.

Just as Jia Amnesty left the ancestral hall and was about to get into the carriage outside the gate, he heard someone shouting loudly, "Master—"

Looking sideways, he saw Liu Dazheng running over with his fat body dangling.
