Old things in the Red Chamber

Jia Amnesty got up in the morning and greeted Shi Taijun first, as usual he didn't see his mother.Because Baoyu, the old lady's sweetheart, is now at the age of lethargy, in order to avoid others saying that her grandson is unfilial, the old lady only pays her respects after three poles of the day, and tells the whole family to have breakfast in the morning before paying her respects.

Jia Amnesty doesn't matter, but Jia Zheng goes to work early, so Jia Zheng hardly greets him in the morning, but according to the old lady, filial piety is not the top priority, so Jia Zheng is exempted from greetings every day, and Jia Amnesty goes to the old lady's yard every day Take a stroll outside, but Jia Zheng doesn't have to.

The reason why it is so early today is because Jia She is worried that Jia Gu's mansion is suspected of having a hairpin, and he wants to mention his younger brother early. He is not surprised that the old lady does not see him now, so he came from outside the old lady's yard. Strolling back to the courtyard on the east side, the old lady's confidant Lai's mother-in-law came to invite him in a sedan chair.

The rules in Jia's mansion are that cats and dogs in the elders' room are respected in front of the younger generation, not to mention the Lai family's mother-in-law, who is getting older. When Jia Lian sees the two of them, he should also call him Grandpa Lai. Mammy.

Mrs. Lai went back in a small sedan chair, but Jia Amnesty walked back on her two legs, and it was also tears of bitterness when she said it.

Shi Taijun hadn't washed up yet, his head was tied and his forehead was mopped, and Jia Zheng sat under her, his face pale.

When Jia Amnesty entered, Shi Taijun waved his servants back, leaving the two brothers alone, and signaled Jia Zheng to speak quickly.

"Go to court today," Jia Zheng opened his mouth, and Jia Amnesty twitched his lips. Officials of the fifth rank dared to say that they would go to the court. Only officials of the fourth rank and above were eligible to meet the emperor and listen to the government. The others just gathered outside the Shenwu Gate. , Even the face of the emperor could not be seen.

Jia Zheng was really frightened and didn't pay attention to the elder brother's expression, "I went to court today. I just left Ningrong Street and was blocked by soldiers. I didn't know that several princes rebelled yesterday. I don't know what's going on. Beijing and China are under martial law today..."

Jia Amnesty thought to himself, how can I find my old brother after martial law is over.

Jia Zheng glanced at Jia Amnesty, "Brother, do you know the cause and effect?"

"I know the cause and effect. You take the seal of the Rongguo Mansion, and you are the one who entertains when you go out. I am a stable general, except for drinking with my little wife..."

"Enough," Shi Taijun sternly said, "Now you don't think about how to deal with it, and you are still talking nonsense here, go back to your yard and leave, and don't stay in front of my old lady anymore."

Jia She was scolded in despair.

Jia Zheng was not excited because his elder brother was deprived of participating in this meeting. His fear was still on his face, and there were still patches of black blood on the street, which made him, who had never seen a bloody scene, have a natural fear.What's more, there was a change in the palace, so his daughter Jia Yuanchun didn't know what happened, whether she was involved in this palace change.

And Jia Zheng also admitted that after this incident, it is impossible not to admit that the Rongguo Mansion has declined. , has completely become a second-class family.

The actual owner of the Rongguo Mansion let out a long sigh.Said to Shi Taijun, "Wait for my son to go out and find out."

Although his colleagues in the Ministry of Industry felt that Jia Zheng was unreliable, he still had some success in controlling the Rongguo Mansion for more than [-] years, and Shi Taijun trusted him very much.

"It's all up to my son."

In the main hall of Weiyang Palace, the Seventh Prince dressed in yellow robes, stepped down from the throne with a smile and helped Jia Gu up, "Although I have never met Jia Qing, we have been friends for a long time."

Jia Gu immediately bowed down and praised His Majesty as the Son of Destiny.

Jia Xun was helped up by the eunuch, but his thighs were shaking all the time, and he was struggling to support him. The new emperor wanted to make his father and son feel bad for him. Naturally, he spared no expense in medicine, recruited an imperial doctor, and rewarded him with the best golden sore medicine. Ask Jia Gu, "Your son is in high spirits, why haven't you hired a lady yet?"

"It's bitter cold in the frontier, and the family of Paoze, who is well-matched, doesn't have a suitable girl, so I put it aside."

The new emperor laughed loudly, "My adoptive mother is the empress, no, empress dowager, the sixth princess from the empress dowager happens to have a girl in her family, who can be the wife of the Jia family."

Jia Gu received one of his own, which is not included in Ning Rong's genealogy. It was written by Jia Daishan himself, and very few people know about it. It is the Rongguo Mansion, and only Shi Taijun and Jia She and Jia Zheng know about it.When the new emperor said it today, Jia Xun said in his heart that as expected, his father was prepared.

When the new emperor bestows a marriage, even if the other party is an ugly monster, he must happily receive the order. The father and son go out of the palace together, and someone has already followed them. As soon as Jia Gu returns home, he asks Mrs. Tong to prepare things. The husband and wife came to visit in person, and must give the sixth princess enough face.

In Weiyang Palace, just after Jia Gu and his son left, an old eunuch came from the side hall, "Master, I have asked clearly, that Prince Teng was hesitant last night, and secretly agreed with his confidants that if the army arrived at the city, immediately The person who killed the master opened the city gate to welcome the army into the city, if the army does not come, he will follow the master's order and act as if nothing happened."

"Hmph," the new emperor sneered, "he is used to sitting on the wall, so my father thinks he is honest. By the way, is my father awake?"

"woke up?"

"Has the imperial decree been sealed?"

"Not yet, the empress dowager is persuading me."

"Don't worry, he will use the seal sooner or later. When he uses the seal, I will let all the officials have an audience."

"What if the Supreme Emperor repents when all the officials meet?"

"Didn't the minister guarding the palace gate be killed by Fifth Brother's men yesterday? According to Jia Gu, he came to guard the palace gate today."

Jia Zheng went out all morning and hurried back to Shi Taijun's courtyard. From a distance, he heard his son Baoyu laughing loudly, and the courtyard was full of maids giggling and giggling.Jia Zheng stood outside the gate of the yard, and he could see the girls all over the yard like flowers, each of them looked innocent and unaware of the storm outside.

As soon as Jia Baoyu heard that his father was coming, he was so frightened that he lost all his spiritual energy and felt restless. Shi Taijun knew the rules of the Jia family. Let the girls at home accompany him, worrying that Baoyu will be frightened by his father.

This time there were still two mothers and children, Shi Taijun hurriedly asked what was going on.

"I heard that it was the fifth prince, no, it was the five sons of the deposed emperor who led troops into the palace yesterday. Fortunately, the seven kings rescued him. At that time, the emperor passed on the position to the seven kings. Now everyone in the palace calls the emperor the old saint, and the new emperor. The emperor is today or a saint."

Shi Taijun quickly ran through the new emperor's life in his mind. The new emperor's biological mother was born in a low family and died shortly after giving birth. The new emperor was carried to the queen and has been raised until now. The main reason why everyone dared not attack the queen is that the queen has a young adopted son, who is now a great treasure... Shi Taijun wanted to use the old relationship between the Rongguo Mansion and the deposed prince to be with the new emperor Condoms are close, I don't know if it is feasible or not.

This matter still needs Jia She to come forward. When Jia She was young, he would study with him in the East Palace. Almost all the nobles, the eldest sons of the Eighth Duke’s family followed the abolition of the crown prince. Almost all of them fell there because of the crown prince’s failure. thing inside.Ashamed to say, Jia Amnesty has always been unreliable, and he is still a relatively useless person. At that time, the abandoned prince and others were not counted in the conspiracy, which made Jia Amnesty escape, so he still has a little time with the old sage. Two points of face, but because he was studying with him in the East Palace, the prince and others were dead, and he was the only one who was still alive. Jia Daishan was afraid that the emperor's anger would be blamed on Jia She, so he kept pressing the eldest son so that he would not let him stand out. After a long time, it was Jia Zheng who came forward in the Rongguo Mansion.However, Hachiko's vitality is now seriously injured, and he has been surpassed by many families. If he doesn't regroup, he may find it difficult to return to the court.Jia Zheng didn't want his elder brother to come forward. If Shi Taijun didn't say anything, he would naturally not suggest that Jia Amnesty go to congratulate him.

Jia Gu changed into soft armor and went to the backyard to tell Madam Tong that he was going to be on duty.

Mrs. Tong was guarding her son in Jia Xun's yard. When Jia Xun went home, she only said that the enemy was cunning. If she hadn't hid quickly, her head had moved now, which made Mrs. Tong very distressed.She never thought that it was Jia Gu who gave her son two knives, even if she told her the truth, she would not believe it.

In the past few years, Jia Gu has been promoted very quickly. Every time he is promoted, many people collect some beauties for him. Personally, Jia Huan is the only baby.Even Mrs. Tong's natal family advised her to take a concubine for Jia Gu as soon as possible, and it was important to have more sons.It is common for the population to be lost at the border. People die every day. Both father and son are desperate masters on the battlefield. If something happens, even if it is a bastard, for Mrs. Tong, she will be taken care of in her later years.

However, Mrs. Tong was unwilling, and Jia Gu had no such intentions, and the matter was always vague.

Jia Gu went into his son's yard and saw that he was already asleep. Jia Xuan helped Mrs. Tong back to the main hall in the backyard. The two talked about the dowry. concentration.Seeing that there was no one in the room, Jia Gu stood up and gave Madam Tong a hug, and kissed her resoundingly on the cheek.Even the bold and unrestrained frontier women were so ashamed by him that they didn't know how to put them down.

"If you are old and unrespectable, your son will marry a daughter-in-law soon, and you will have a grandson in a blink of an eye, so it is disrespectful for you to be old."

Jia Gu smiled happily, took his saber and went out.

In the evening, the Supreme Emperor finally used the seal on the edict to pass on the throne. He had a stroke, although it was not serious, but his body knew it, and the Queen Mother was pulling him to recall the past. Although he was reluctant, he still let go of power.

The new emperor took the edict and was not in a hurry to announce it. On the surface, he went to be a filial son in front of the Supreme Emperor every day, but secretly stepped up to clear the obstacles.

On the night of August [-]th, the new emperor was feeding the Taishanghuang porridge, and the Taishanghuang asked, "Who is the Admiral of the Nine Gates?"

The new emperor replied with a smile, "It's Wang Ziteng."

Wang Ziteng has been guarding the nine gates, and the new emperor did not use his confidants, which made the old emperor feel very comfortable.

The Supreme Emperor asked again, "Who is imprisoned in the Suwei Palace?"

"Son, after thinking about it, a while ago, the son of the former Rong Guogong Jia Daishan, the one with the birthmark on his neck, do you remember? Wasn't he seriously injured? You ordered him to return to Beijing, I thought about it Thinking, since he was able to take the head of the enemy's commander-in-chief in the rebellious army, it must be easy for him to be imprisoned by the Palace of Guards, so he was decreed to let him take the post of Minister of Guards."

The Supreme Emperor nodded in satisfaction. Jia Daishan is his subject. Jia Daishan's son is not considered to be a man of fame. For the sake of my veterans.Moreover, the new emperor did not place his own manpower in such an important position, which shows that the new emperor is filial.

"Tomorrow, invite the clan relatives to the palace, and also order officials of the fourth rank and above to attend a banquet in the palace. I will personally pass it to you tomorrow."
