Jia Lian of the Red Chamber

Sister Feng's smile froze when she heard the words, as if she was afraid that Jia Lian would misunderstand, she immediately relaxed her cheeks. Sister Feng knew that Jia Lian's words and deeds now had deep meaning, and she didn't know how to react for a while. Of course, she felt a little uncomfortable, but if she wanted to blame Jia Lian , It seems that there is no: "Oh, that, um, that, this is his own fault, I am afraid that relatives will find out and make irresponsible remarks."

But Jia Lian shook his head: "I sued Xue's family, but the relatives may not know. The Holy Majesty may keep it for the sake of third uncle, but I must tell you about it, because we are husband and wife, and I don't want to hide it from you. , to deceive you, you know what I mean, right?"

Sister Feng nodded when she heard the words, her eyes were a little red. Isn't this what he expects a husband and wife to be of the same heart and share weal and woe.

Jia Lian stretched out his hand and lifted Sister Feng's chin, and stared at Sister Feng with peachy black pupils, with a half-smile: "Why? The lady is not happy?"

Sister Feng suddenly smiled: "Hmm!"

Jia Lian's heart moved, and she lowered her head and took a sip of incense. Sister Feng pursed her lips and smiled, her face shy: "My servant, let the second master take a bath."

When Jia Lian heard the words, his heart was filled with spring, and the husband and wife went to the bathroom hand in hand.

Ping'er guarded the outside of the screen, and soon he saw a bark on the ground.

Ping'er backed out quietly, at a time like this, she probably didn't need to pass the bath cloth.

At the fifth watch of the day, Jia Lian got up and dressed, and went to Shuijingfang to practice for an hour. At the end of the Yin hour, Jia Lian went out of the mansion and entered the palace.

Now is the time, Jia Lian still went to Zhang's family to hone the essays with his cousin, and at the same time refer to the writings left by Zhang's uncle.

It was like this every day, and it came to April 21 in a flash, which was the day of the palace examination.

Sure enough, the emperor asked all the candidates about the facts about the sea and the north.

Jia Lian and others were still entering the Hall of Preservation. At dusk, the examiner announced that the time had come, and the candidates left the Hall of Preservation at the same time.

The answers of the candidates were varied, some copied military books, and talked about the way of generals in a cloud of fog. Emperor Qianyuan insisted on falling into the same class as the Jinshi for this kind of test papers copied from books.

Among them, the test papers of ten outstanding people were placed on the emperor's desk, and the emperor could choose the top three among these ten people.

Jia Lian and Zhang Zhongxiao are among the best.

Emperor Qianyuan picked out Jia Lian and Zhang Zhongxiao's test papers for comparison, and wanted to take the number one spot among them.

Zhang Zhongxiao was only talking about how to deal with the harassment of the nomads in northern Xinjiang.

He offered to appease them and make them vassals of the imperial court, and then sent people to educate them and teach them the skills of farming. For those who were stubborn, he could send troops to wipe them out.

As for Lao Maozi, Zhang Zhongxiao hit one word!

Come over and kill a pair, there is no price to talk about.

Jia Lian's pattern is much larger than that of Zhang Zhongxiao.

Jia Lian believes that fighting a war depends not only on generals, but in addition to generals being good at using troops, victory in war also requires the support of the entire court and the emperor.Only when the imperial court works together and works together, can the army be invincible and invincible.

Then, Jia Lian specifically talked about the important roles of the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Households. He pointed out that when the emperor served as the head of the Ministry of War of the Ministry of Users, he must select officials who were capable, courageous and public-minded.

Only officials with both ability and political integrity serve as the household department can maximize the mobilization of the world's wealth and meet the front-line money, food and military needs.

Similarly, only officials with both ability and political integrity can be appointed to the Ministry of War, in order to select truly loyal ministers and good generals, and rationally deploy soldiers and horses from all over the world.

The household department has sufficient food and grass, and the military department allocates soldiers reasonably. Only in this way can the front-line generals be able to plan well and command well.

Soldiers can go into battle lightly, with no distractions, and focus on killing the enemy.

Only such an army can be invincible and invincible.

Jia Lian emphasized that in the victory of the war, the roles of the generals and the court are divided equally. As long as the court has a steady stream of food and grass support, the frontline generals can use their troops calmly and advance and retreat with a certain degree of control.

Jia Lian finally said that he thought that the defeat in the war was not the responsibility of the general.

The imperial court cannot judge a hero by success or failure.

If the battle is defeated, the general must bear the consequences of the defeat alone.

This is not fair, and it will chill the hearts of loyal ministers and people with lofty ideals.

The words "ransacking the family and exterminating the family" are too sensitive, and Jia Lian didn't dare to write them.

At this time, King Zhongshun, one of the examiners, jumped out and said critically that Jia Lian had bad intentions in complaining for the defeated general.

Now that the northern seas and seas are not peaceful, it is time for the generals to take care of them.

However, Jia Lian was defeated before starting the war. Although it was only on paper, such a person with ulterior motives could not be hired by the court.

King Xijun, who is also the examiner, thinks that Jia Lian's words are reasonable and remarkable.

In the end, the argument could not be resolved, and Prince Ying proposed to give Jia Lian a chance to defend himself in court.

For a while, Jia Lian was ordered to debate in the Golden Palace.

Jia Lian heard clearly the argument of King Zhongshun, smiled slightly, and began to defend himself.

Jia Lian knew that for King Zhongshun, no one could catch him, so Jia Lian cited the example of the founding emperor.

At the beginning, the founding emperor Gaozu of this dynasty was weak and incompetent due to the invasion of foreign races. He paid indemnities to cede land and blindly retreated. In the end, even the capital was lost.

Gao Zu was then the Jiedu envoy of Taiyuan, and he had no choice but to join forces with seven other envoys to drive out the Tartars.

Gaozu raised an army in Taiyuan and chased the Tartars all the way to Yanshan. As a result, the agreed food and grass disappeared.

At that time, the general suffered heavy casualties, and the food and grass were cut off. Gaozu led the remaining soldiers to kill horses to satisfy their hunger, thirsty to drink horse urine, and repelled the enemy's siege countless times.

Finally, after ten years of savings, Gaozu finally had enough food and grass. At this time, Gaozu held the banner alone, raised a shout, and the whole country responded. After ten years of fierce fighting, the Central Plains was finally settled.

Jia Lian said: "If a hero is judged by success or failure, and one defeat will kill a person, how can there be today's peaceful and prosperous world?"

Emperor Qianyuan raised the corners of his mouth when he heard this, while King Xi raised his eyebrows.

King Zhongshun's face darkened the more he heard it. He didn't expect Jia Lian to be so difficult to deal with. It's not good for him to give an example.

Does King Zhongshun dare to say that his grandfather belongs to him?

He obviously didn't dare.

King Xijun asked with a smile, "Does King Zhongshun agree with Jia Lian's words?"

King Zhongshun's face turned into a pig's liver, but he cupped his hands and replied: "Gao Zu is really a hero who has been tempered through thousands of tempers!"

It's just that the emperor had another dispute with several examiners about who to choose as the number one scholar.

Although King Zhongshun conceded defeat, he strongly recommended a Juzi surnamed Gu, saying that his articles were balanced and stable, neither humble nor overbearing, and he was just right to be a leader in the literary world.

King Dongping was impartial, and King Zhongyi certainly waved the flag and cheered for King Zhongshun.King Xi was left alone to support Jia Lian, very pale.

Although the champion is decided by the emperor, it's just not a peaceful and prosperous time. Although the emperor hates King Zhongshun, he can't openly support Jia Lian and offend his clan.

Not only did Jia Lian fail to be the No. [-] scholar, but he also didn't have a place in the second place.

King Zhongshun can always find a more suitable person to replace Jia Lian.

In the end, the emperor named Jia Lian as Chuanlu, Erjiatou.

King Zhongshun wanted to speak again, King Xijun said: "The emperor proposed three times, and King Zhongshun objected again and again. Do you want to fail again? Why don't we all resign as examiners? The ranking of this palace examination is determined by Prince Zhongshun alone. .”

King Zhongshun hurriedly pleaded guilty: "The humble minister is just loyal to the king's affairs, so he can speak freely. How can he be self-absorbed? Please look into it clearly."

Emperor Qianyuan made a tick with the ink pen, and finally concluded: "That's it, the next 190 six, you help arrange the order, all of them will be awarded Jinshi background, and the remaining [-] will be awarded Jinshi."

Everyone said: "Follow the holy order!"

King Zhongshun went out again and said: "According to the law, since Jia Lian has passed the rank of Jinshi, he can no longer serve in the palace. The emperor should dismiss him as the imperial guard and re-arrange his errands."

Emperor Qianyuan nodded: "Brother Wang is right, Prince Xi, immediately arrange for Jia Lian to stop his rotation. Go home and stay for these days. Arrangements will be made after they take the Shujishi exam."

King Zhongshun smiled complacently, saying that tomorrow is free and tomorrow, anyway, he will continue to stir up trouble.

The next day, the Rongguo Mansion opened its middle door and welcomed the bright red news: Jinling Mansion Jia Lian Jia Master High School Biography, No. 4, Jinshi and the first.

Hefu was overjoyed.

This time, Jia Amnesty finally got his wish, sang a big show and set up a flowing water mat.

Jia Lian and Sister Feng gave out money to give porridge in Tianqi Temple for a month.

Jia's mother and Jia Amnesty also donated money to give porridge for a month.

All the families in the capital who have won Jinshi give porridge in Tianqi Temple.

It is said that during this period of time, all the beggars in Tianqi Temple grew fat and white.

Many boys found a living job because of the change of image. They were grateful for the kindness of Jia's mansion, and they met in front of Jia's mansion to kowtow to thank them.

From this day on, Jia Lian received a notice from the guards' office to suspend the errands of the imperial guards, waiting for the assignment of new errands.When the new errand will be assigned, the notice did not say.

Many of Jia Lian's colleagues were planning to curry favor with Jia Lian, but Jia Lian was suddenly dismissed from his job and left idle.

Everyone was puzzled.

Jia Lian is enjoying himself.

Since his rebirth, Jia Lian has tightened a string, and his whole body is in tension.

Now that he is deprived of his job as a guard, he just takes the opportunity to rest and spend time with his wife and son.Take care of chores left over from a while ago.

The first to bear the brunt is the problem between Xue's family and Dongfu Jiazhen.

On this day, when Jia's mansion was having a feast, Jia Zhen suddenly went into a drunken frenzy, implying that Jia Lian's relatives did not recognize him in order to get promoted and get rich.

As soon as Jia Lian heard this was not good, he decisively knocked Jia Zhen unconscious, and smiled at the relatives: "Brother Zhen is drunk, I made everyone laugh."

Afterwards, Jia Lian greeted Jia Rong: "Ronger, come, let your father help you down to rest." Taking advantage of handing over Jia Zhenzhi, Jia Lian whispered to Jia Rong: "Send your father to the Lake Pavilion in the East Courtyard. I'll be there later."

Jia Lian held back his anger and made another round of toasting, and then retreated with an excuse.

Jia Lian went back to Shuijingfang and asked Xing'er, "What's going on with Xue's family these days?"

Xing'er said: "The three women in the Xue family are very peaceful. Mrs. Xue takes care of the second wife every day. When she meets an old lady who wants to play cards, she goes to Rongqing Hall to play cards. The eldest girl of the Xue family goes to boudoir school with Miss Lin every day. , there is no problem, the only thing is that this girl Bao seems to have no concept of male and female defense, and she often goes in and out with the second master Bao holding hands, but she is very cautious, knowing that the old lady and Miss Lin and our family three This girl usually only makes out with Second Master Bao in the second wife’s yard, but when she leaves the house, she is so rigid that people can’t understand her. The younger one is very puzzled, isn’t this the eldest girl of the Xue family going to enter the palace for selection at the end of the year? How did you make out with Second Master Bao? Could she be the Emperor's woman in the future?"

Jia Lian frowned: "Does the old lady know about this?"

Xing'er shook his head: "I probably don't know, otherwise I wouldn't be so affectionate to their mother and daughter."

Jia Lian thought for a while, and said: "Continue to supervise the Xue family, and try to inform the old lady of the behavior of the eldest daughter of the Xue family as soon as possible. Go down and let the second master Yun come to see me."

In just a moment, Jia Yun arrived.Seeing Jia Lian, he bowed and said, "Congratulations to my second uncle, my wish has been fulfilled."

Jia Lian reached out to stop Jia Yun: "There's no need to be polite, do you know who Master Zhen of the Dongfu associates with these days? Especially the eunuchs or guards in the palace?"

Jia Yun thought for a while and said: "Yes, Dai Quan, who is in charge of the Daming Palace, met Uncle Zhen, and the two met in Wufenglou. The second master knows that the private rooms in Wufenglou are not accessible to ordinary people. Therefore, they What was said, my nephew does not know."

Dai Quan is the head of the palace, a celebrity in front of the emperor, who is in charge of the palace servants. This person's hands and eyes are open to the sky, even the six officials have to buy his face, otherwise, maybe one day, you will fall into him and get the Tao .

This person sells officials and ranks, and he can easily find officials below the fourth rank.

Walking six times on weekdays, sometimes the prince's face is not as good as his handbook.

Jia Lian raised his forehead immediately. He was so busy and confused, but he forgot about this person.

This person has worn a pair of pants with Jia Zhen all his life, and the two get along very well.

Jia Lian nodded: "Well done, continue to monitor."

Jia Yun said again: "Second Uncle, there is news from the son who was monitoring King Zhongshun's son before, saying that it is a eunuch in the Queen's Palace, surnamed Xia, who met the Chang Shi of Prince Zhongshun's residence in Shichahai."

Before Jia Yun finished speaking, Jia Lian squirted tea: "Who are you talking about going to Shichahai?"

Jia Yun looked embarrassed: "There is a father-in-law surnamed Xia in the palace, and my nephew doesn't believe it. In the end, I spent another sum of money and bought the Li family in Shichahai, so I can confirm the identity of that person. He said that the person called himself Xia." Master, but his body has a strange smell, like urine, but it smells like powder, he is still surprised, why do big men put on makeup and powder?"

This eunuch surnamed Xia was Xia Shouzhong after all.

Xia Shouzhong used to be the eunuch in charge of Yuanchun Palace. The connection between Jia's mansion and Yuanchun was through Eunuch Xia, but he didn't know that he got in touch with King Zhongshun so early.

This dog is really playing Jia's house like a monkey.

No wonder in the previous life Baoyu only drank flower wine with Jiang Yuhan once and exchanged sweat towels before being known by Prince Zhongshun.But it turned out to be this channel.

In this way, the entire Rongguo Mansion lives underground under the eyelids of King Zhongshun.

Jia Lian couldn't help gritting his teeth.

King Zhongshun always looked down on Emperor Qianyuan. As his confidant, eunuch Xia naturally looked down on Emperor Qianyuan. No wonder this bastard dared to call himself uncle.

Jia Lian always thought that he was taking advantage of his own weaknesses, but it turned out that there was a hidden backer, King Zhongshun, backing him up.

For a moment, cold sweat dripped down Jia Lian's forehead. In his previous life, he was lucky to be able to live to the frontier.

Thinking about it again, this Xia Shouzhong was the eunuch in Empress Xu's palace. Later, Yuan Chun was transferred to the empress's female official by the empress's blue eyes, and only then did he gain the favor of Emperor Qianyuan and was named concubine.

Doesn't this mean that the Queen has a connection with King Zhongshun?

The queen has no children, what is he doing in tandem with Prince Zhongshun?

Jia Lian hurriedly told Jia Yun: "Starting tomorrow, we must also pay attention to collecting news about Duke Cheng'en's mansion, especially the eunuchs in the palace."

Jia Yun agreed: "Nephew, give me the order."

Jia Lian waved his hand: "Go down and let me know if there is any news."

After Jia Yun left, Jia Lian thought blankly in the dark, connecting all the things in his mind.

Yuan Chun couldn't leave the palace for a while.

There are still three years before Yuanchun was concubine in her previous life.

In her previous life, Yuan Chun was made a concubine only after currying favor with Empress Xu.

Why did Empress Xu put Yuan Chun on the throne?

Imagine again, Empress Xu and Zhongshun Palace secretly join forces?

But what's the matter with Yuanchun?

Also, the reason why Emperor Qianyuan later allowed the imperial concubine to visit relatives was because the queen mother and queen tried their best to accept advice.

It is impossible for the queen mother to play tricks on the emperor.

Why did Empress Xu try her best to persuade Yuanchun to visit her relatives?

Is it just to empty out Jia's mansion?

Hasn't Empress Xu been relying on Yuanchun to make money?

What good would it do her to empty out Jia's mansion?

Could it be King Zhongshun?

For the rest of his life, Jia Lian offended King Zhongshun.

But in the previous life, Jia Lian and King Zhongshun had no intersection at all!

Jia's mansion can't get in the way of Prince Zhongshun's mansion, what's the matter?

Why did King Zhongshun go out of his way to deal with the Jia family?

Jia Lian Jia Lian thought about it, his head was getting big, and he didn't understand it.

If this is the case, Emperor Qianyuan is really sad.

It must be known that King Zhongshun wanted to conspire against and usurp the government all his life, but as a result, Emperor Qianyuan's pillow flirted with his enemy.
