Old things in the Red Chamber

Chapter 193 Cause and Effect

The major treason case that happened during the Chinese New Year has become a thing of the past.Now the court is being tossed about by the evil wind of the crown prince.

Regardless of whether the emperor is willing or not, even if he can ignore the opinions of his officials at this time, he still has to face the pressure from the royal family and clan.

People in the clan have no opinion on who should be the prince, but they demand that the prince must be established.The reason is also very reasonable, "Although the emperor is in the prime of life at the moment, the establishment of a prince is extremely beneficial to our family and the country. The earlier the establishment of the prince, the earlier the education to become a talent, the country of our family will last for a long time."

Moreover, the old princes in the clan went to persuade the Supreme Emperor together, and asked the Supreme Emperor to come forward and talk to the emperor about this matter. The Supreme Emperor did not care much about this matter.

"No matter who is the prince and who is the emperor, they are members of our family after all. This matter depends entirely on the emperor's wishes. He can do whatever he wants."

Because of the Taishanghuang's words, the father and son were bombarded by the young and old in the family together.The emperor's sons are not particularly outstanding, nor are they particularly disappointed. If they don't decide on a crown prince at this time, it will be a nerve-wracking battle for the throne.In order to avoid future bloodshed and rebellion that occurred at the beginning of the year.These old princes took the young princes and went to see them every day before dawn when they put on their court clothes.

The ministers in the imperial court took the risk precisely because they saw this wave in the clan, calling for the establishment of a prince in the court hall.

For Jia Gu, all this is a bit out of his control. He has always envisioned a peaceful situation, and finally secretly accumulated strength to push the Ninth Prince to the crown prince, instead of letting the emperor under the excitement of the crowd at this time. Annoyed and angry, the Ninth Prince was mentioned as the crown prince, and in this way, the result was not a good thing for the Ninth Prince.

"Since ancient times, the establishment of princes has always been to establish a legitimate son, establish an elder, establish a virtuous son, and establish love. There are no legitimate sons in the country, let alone a prince with a special name..."

As soon as a minister in the court finished saying this, a group of people flashed out behind him, and they all knelt down and refuted him.

Among them, the one with the loudest voice and the most talked is Jia Hua.

"Introduction to my Majesty, among the princes, the wise ones are the Nine Princes, the elders are the Nine Princes, and the noble ones are the Nine Princes. I ask the emperor to make the Nine Princes the crown prince."

The Ninth Prince was old enough to stand in the hall and listen to government affairs. Hearing what Jia Hua said, he wished he could strangle him to death himself.

It is not a good time to stand out at this time, Jia Yucun really wanted to draw the Ninth Prince into the limelight, Jia Gu squinted his eyes and thought about it, even if the Ninth Prince did not appear in front of people, he would not be able to avoid the storm.

Blindly backing down is not a good thing, but we can't let the Ninth Prince charge forward according to Jia Yucun's design.

Jia Gu turned his head to the back, raised his left arm slightly, and gave a signal to the people behind him.

This person Jia Yucun can no longer be kept. People from the Ministry of Punishment have always wanted to bring Jia Yucun to justice.But because Jia Yucun has been biting the king with a different surname, the emperor can't touch him for the time being, so he has been letting him jump until today.

Just when Jia Yucun was impassionedly stating the various benefits of the Ninth Prince being the prince, suddenly at the end of the line, a fourth-rank official came out crying. At this time, everyone in the court was refreshed. People who have nothing to do with things think that they can finally go to the theater.Those who participated in the vortex of the registered prince were all thinking, what happened again.

"Your Majesty, please forgive me for your lack of manners. I received a letter from my family yesterday. One of my aunts has passed away. My aunt is lonely and helpless..."

Hearing this fourth-rank official, the civil and military officers of the Manchu Dynasty muttered a lot about how pitiful his aunt was. After so much foreshadowing, the conversation changed and said that her aunt had married to Jinling before, and her husband's family also Originally a good family, the family was single-handed for three generations, and later gave birth to a pair of twins, a boy and a girl. One day, the family didn't pay attention, and the two children ran to the door to play, and they never came back after going out.

The husband and wife scattered all their wealth and traveled thousands of miles to find the child. If they had any clues, they would not let them go. The so-called family face, no matter how much money someone's biological parents put up, they are never allowed to buy someone out.Later, I felt that the pair of biological parents were too noisy, so they just said hello to Jia Yucun, and were kicked out of Jinling by the yamen servants in the yamen. Because of anger, the uncle of the fourth-rank official fell ill and died in the end.His aunt was old and had nowhere to go, so she had to bring her back.

With this introduction, the officials in the Ministry of Punishment who had been dozing off suddenly regained their energy, and all of them rolled up their sleeves and prepared to start working.

The emperor's spirit was also lifted, and he was finally able to blow the evil wind away. As long as he found one thing to divert everyone's attention, no one would mention leaving again.

The early morning came to an end when everyone beat the dog in the water.

Most of the wind direction in the court started from the early court. If there is a slight sign, officials with keen senses will immediately think of various extended emergencies, and even quickly formulate countermeasures after the court is over.

Jia Yucun is a person with a keen sense of smell.

Although he can still move freely after going to court, he doesn't think that he can escape this disaster without any danger.In the carriage, he was still wondering who could help him through this difficulty. The reason why Zao Chaoshang worked so hard to help the Ninth Prince was to climb up the big tree of the Ninth Prince. As long as he could become the minister that the Ninth Prince relied heavily on, For him, wealth will come in a blink of an eye.

The Ninth Prince is still living in the palace and has not left the palace to open a mansion, so the place where he has the closest connection with the outside of the palace is his maternal ancestor's house.

After Jia Yucun got off the car, he went straight to Jia Amnesty's mansion.

Recently, Jia She has been busy with Jia Zheng's family affairs. The weather is getting hotter. Although the environment in the prison is not good, it won't be too cold at this time. Send some thin clothes in.By the way, I also want to go in and visit the prison.

So he went out early in the morning, not at home at all, only Jia Lian was at home.

After Jia Yucun arrived at their house, Jia Lian came out to continue. The two exchanged a few words of greeting and began to ask about the Ninth Prince.

"Establishing a crown prince is indeed a major event, but to tell you the truth, our family can't get involved in this matter! Although the Ninth Prince is our grandson, it's my uncle who speaks the most."

Jia Yucun thought to himself, could it be that I worshiped the wrong mountain and failed to find the real Buddha?

At this time, it is useless to talk about other things. He wanted to visit Jia Gu and his son before, but the father and son are not slippery. Every time they visit, they can be blocked by reasons. If they go again at this time, I am afraid. Can't save my life.

He turned his eyes and looked at Jia Lian, thinking that it was because he didn't want to help him, and he couldn't ignore his nephew. If Jia Lian was dragged into the water, and Jia Lian was bitten to death, then they would want to take Jia Lian to death. If you pick it up, you must also bring yourself out.

Thinking of this, Jia Yucun smiled and invited Jia Lian to go out for a sit down, "Seeing that the grass grows and the hawks fly in the March sky, and there is a lot of life everywhere. According to the practice throughout the ages, this time is bound to go out of the city for an outing, but we can also steal some food when we go out together." You have to spend half a day free."

Jia Lian didn't want to go for an outing at first. This kind of thing is something that literati like to do. When it's warm and cold, he is happy to stay at home.

But he couldn't resist the temptation others gave him, "I have two sisters who play the piano well and have good wine. Let's go and relax for a day."

Having said that, Jia Lian is very happy to go. Recently, because of the filial piety at home, he can't even drink alcohol.It was really relaxing to find a place to have a drink, and after explaining a few words to the boys at home, they boarded the car with Jia Yucun and went out.

At this time, the scenery is indeed infinitely good. After leaving the city, the wild flowers and weeds on both sides of the road are growing vigorously, and there is a lot of wildness in it. Everyone says that the auspicious snow is a sign of a good year, but they don’t know that this auspicious snow is due to the emperor’s hard work and love for the people.”

Jia Lian is not a member of the government, but he had a lot of opportunities to deal with the children of the aristocratic family and officials in the past. Naturally, he didn't think there was anything wrong with such blatant flattery. How to see clearly.

After the carriage left the city, it didn't head towards the beautiful monasteries and manors, but turned into a remote path.Jia Yucun traveled with the boys who often followed him for a while, only to find that the road was wrong, and they all shouted and scolded the driver to stop quickly.

"I'm kidding, I'm kidding. When I came to the capital, I was in a hurry and didn't bring all the family members. I found the handlebar style for driving the car in the capital city. I think it's a bit unsatisfactory to come here. Brother laughed."

Speaking of this place, Jia Lian suddenly discovered one thing, that is, he didn't bring his servants with him.I suddenly felt a bad premonition in my heart. Although the past few years have not been as prominent as the previous few years, he was raised according to the standards of a family son. He deeply knows how dangerous it is to be alone. .

"Brother suddenly remembered something, it's urgent, let's go back now."

"How can this be done? I finally came out, and it will be here soon. If you have anything to say, let the people below go and pass the message on behalf of Shixiong."

If Jia Lian didn't realize that he fell into a certain trap at this time, he would really be sorry for his education. Even if he regretted it so much that he would slap him all over the place, he still had to bite the bullet and seek a way out.

The two people pushed back and forth in the carriage, not noticing that there had been no sound outside, until there was a gloomy sound outside the carriage, asking people to get off the carriage.

"Master Jia, please get off the car when you arrive."
