Old things in the Red Chamber

"Now that I hear that there is still a reward to be received, how do you feel in your heart?"

"Since the emperor wants to reward, the subject should naturally be grateful."

The emperor smiled, "Go, after the new year, I will call you Mr. Jia."

It was snowing heavily all night, and before dawn, the eunuchs and guards began to clear the snow.

Jia Gu didn't sleep all night, and kept patrolling the palace city wearing armor. Before dawn, the clan had already assembled in front of the palace gate.These families all brought their family members, and the carriages were attached to each other. Those clan youths who had no carriages to sit in and rode to the banquet straightened their backs in the cold wind and heavy snow. This is the most powerful family at the moment.

Looking at the crowd in front of me, these young people on the city wall are drooling with envy. Every year there is the present, and every year is different. Regardless of who came last year, who is the first time to participate this year? Sacrifice, but what does it matter, anyway, there is never a shortage of powerful people in front of this palace gate waiting to open the palace gate.

"My lord, the time has come."

Jia Gu turned around and looked at the deputy in front of him, "I don't need to say anything, let's cheer up today and tomorrow, our own people can't slack off, we will open the door later, no matter if it's male or female, we have to check, If someone enters the imperial city with a sharp knife in his body, we will die without atonement for his crime."

There is no need to say more about this kind of reasoning. Everyone knows that the order was quickly conveyed, and everyone began to act according to the order.

"It's disgraceful, these military ruffians actually acted like this today. I must read his Jiagu book. Let him know..."

Jia Gu already knew that he heard these complaints, but he didn't take them to heart. After today and tomorrow, they will know why they acted like this today.

In the evening, after the sacrifice, everyone went to the Taishanghuang's bedroom to participate in a family banquet.

On New Year's Eve, everyone is offering sacrifices to their ancestors. This matter will not change because the royal family is not royal. Dressed in court clothes, first the prince, then the county king, and then the princes of various palaces brought the bastards of each palace to salute the patriarch of the previous generation, the Supreme Emperor, and the emperor of this generation.

The Supreme Emperor is the happiest. He is the protagonist this day, and the protagonist of the big pilgrimage tomorrow is the emperor, so at this moment he smiled and asked the juniors to get up, waited for the elders of each clan to sit down, and first served a glass of wine, "Everyone, since It has been 80 years since Gaozu started his army this year. In the past 80 years, our family has experienced four patriarchs, 29 princes, [-] county kings, and countless other side branches. This is God bless our family. A cup of heaven and earth."

Everyone raised their cups, and under the leadership of the Supreme Emperor, they toasted the sky and the earth with one cup, and the third cup was toasted to the ancestors.

After presenting the wine, they began to call the children up. Now that the clan has a huge population, those who can appear on such occasions are all sons and grandsons who have been clever since childhood.The Supreme Emperor received them one by one, touched the heads of one and the other, and rewarded countless gold and silver.

After the family rejoiced, dances, dances and operas were presented in the Jiaofang Division. When the gongs and drums sounded, they all watched with a smile. The big fur cloaks sent over, it was already midnight.

But the singing and dancing were only halfway through, the stars in the sky began to twinkle, and the heavy snow had stopped.

The Taishanghuang is old, but his ability to stay up late is stronger than the others sitting here. Others have already started to feel drowsy, and he is still holding the cup with a smile, drinking one cup after another, occasionally shouting hello, causing trouble. People who got small noodles also applauded loudly, no matter whether they were really watching the show or not.

After the applause, the princes who were close to the Supreme Emperor suddenly reasoned, and the clan men standing behind them exclaimed, and the scene became chaotic. Those who didn't have a seat found themselves limp all over.

"What does the emperor mean by this?"

Although their whole bodies were weakened, their consciousness was still clear, and they could shout for help. Many people looked at the emperor, thinking that it was the emperor who wanted to kill the clan.

"Wouldn't it be enough to show sincerity when we serve the emperor as the master? Do we have to kill relatives to establish our prestige on the New Year's Eve?

"I'm not the one who kills my relatives and establishes my prestige." The emperor leaned on the dragon chair, "The ones who want my death are among you. It's this time, do you still want to hide your head and tail?"

The sober people in the clan still looked at each other in blank dismay. A young man stood up behind the now young King Loyalty, pushed the unconscious King Loyalty away, and stepped on him, "Everyone, how many years have we not seen each other?"

"It's you?"

"wild ambition"

"You are going to kill a relative."

The Supreme Emperor looked at the grandson, and with difficulty squeezed out his voice, "You... you, I shouldn't have let anyone from your palace enter the palace."

"The Supreme Emperor, no matter who becomes the emperor, you are the Supreme Emperor. Why do you need to say more now?"

The Supreme Emperor struggled and threw the wine glass to the ground, "You are telling your father to cut off his blood!"

The emperor's wine glass fell to the ground, because it was a gold cup, it rolled a few times on the ground, and rolled all the way down the steps, clanging, but the guards outside seemed to be unable to hear it.

Because of the movement of the wine glass falling, the Jiaofang Siren, who was shocked at first, began to sing again, and the sound of gongs and drums became even louder in this quiet night.

"Hahahaha, it turned out to be like this, it turned out to be like this, this Jiaofang Secretary belongs to you, no wonder someone was able to recruit everyone today."

The emperor smiled very hard, "After a bunch of sinners, they don't want to repent and even want to make a comeback, hahahaha"

The family members of the prisoners are all in the Jiaofang Division, and the generations are lowly. If they cling to the nobles, there are still people who can rescue them from the fire pit, but such opportunities are really rare.

"Don't look down on them. If they are ruthless, even the emperor should be terrified. Let alone, at this time, as long as each of them has a white silk, they can strangle these people present. Does the emperor think so?"

"Very, very true, but I still want to laugh at you. It's too simple to think of the country by relying on slaves."

"To deal with the emperor, these slaves are enough. Does the emperor still want thousands of troops to be buried with you? Don't think about it, you are not worth it."

"Bo Yanghou, I want thousands of troops to see you off."

"Haha, don't call me Boyanghou, my father passed the throne to me before he died. Fuck you Boyanghou, use a marquis to send us a palace, let my father rest in peace, you dare to think .”

He regained consciousness and went to the stage, drew a prop sword, and walked back slowly, "This sword does not have a sharp edge, but a blunt knife will hurt when cutting flesh. Do you think it is the emperor? No, no, the first emperor, After tonight, you will be the first emperor."

"Stop," King Xiangyang struggled a few times before getting up, "Marquis Boyang, there are guards outside, once you find out about your rebellion, you will be turned into a flesh in an instant..."

"Why haven't the imperial guards come yet?" Bo Yanghou stopped and asked the King of Xiangyang with a smile, "Oh, you didn't faint. It seems that the medicine is a little low." The man jumped down, lifted the collar of King Xiangyang, put the other hand on his neck, and was about to twist the head of King Xiangyang with all his strength. The emperor saw that his cousin was dying, so he didn't wait any longer. Shouted, "Help people".

An arrow flew out from the beam of the room, hitting the back of Wu Sheng's head with such force that the blood splashed in all directions, and a lot of blood splashed on the bodies of the people on both sides.But no one will complain, and someone ambush proves that the emperor has already had a backhand and did not use it.

The members of the Jiaofang Division who were calm just now on the stage panicked, some of them shouted to take hostages and escape from the palace, and some of them knelt down and begged, saying that they were being coerced and begging the emperor to spare their lives .

"Marquis Boyang, I'll just tell you that slaves can't be entrusted with big things, how about that? You see."

Bo Yanghou held the sword, the smile on his face remained unchanged, "The former emperor really thought that I would use these things to change the dynasty? No, no, no, I have thousands of troops."

Nodding towards the seating area of ​​Prince Zhong's Mansion, someone lit a Kongming lantern, and the red light fluttered towards the sky. Not long after, there was a burst of shouting and killing from outside. getting closer.Everyone in the clan hurriedly looked at the emperor, hoping that he would still have something to do.

The emperor closed his eyes and said nothing.

"Emperor..." The Supreme Emperor looked at the Emperor, and then at Bo Yanghou who was standing on the steps smiling at them, "You..."

"What does the imperial grandfather want to say?"

The Supreme Emperor sighed, "Oh..."

What the hell does this mean?The emperor was captured just like that?Or is the emperor ready?

The hearts of the people in the clan raised their hearts, and there was one after another shouting and killing outside, and even the screams could be heard. Among the members of Jiaofang who were kneeling on the platform begging for mercy, suddenly a few people jumped off the platform and rushed to the seats of the clan. Inside, they shouted loudly, "If you die, you have to take a back."

A few sharp arrows flew out from the beam again, and a strong bloody smell spread to the nostrils of many people disgustingly. Many people in the clan were so frightened that they peed on their pants.

But the more it is like this, the more no one speaks, and everyone quietly waits for the result of the fight outside the wall.

The quieter it is, the more it tests people's psychological quality. Some people have begun to cry, first softly, then howl loudly. The grumpy person has already shouted, "Why are you crying?"

The crying subsided, but the palace door creaked open, and a strong smell of blood spread over the surface. The faint light at the palace gate could only illuminate the outline of a person, and everyone's hearts were raised.
