Jia Lian of the Red Chamber

However, Yuan Chun was ashamed to hear that Jia Lian exchanged his meritorious deeds for his release from the palace. Immediately, Yuan Chun made a choice: "The little girl likes the old prince, and I ask the empress dowager to fulfill her."

The queen mother nodded: "Although everyone calls him Old Wang, this year he is only in his forties, and a man in his seventies can have a baby, so he is not considered old."

Yuan Chun knelt down and kowtowed three times: "I would like to report to the empress dowager, my daughter wants to see the emperor before leaving the palace, please allow the empress dowager."

The queen mother frowned when she heard the words.

Seeing this, Yuan Chun was busy arguing: "My little girl just wants to settle the past, and at the same time, she will explain the reason to the emperor. My little girl will tell the emperor that she is not worthy of the emperor, so she voluntarily left the palace."

The empress dowager was moved when she heard this, thought for a while, and nodded in agreement. However, in order to prevent Yuan Chun from repenting temporarily, the empress dowager warned: "No matter what your thoughts are, you only have one chance. I hope you think carefully about it."

Yuan Chun immediately stated that the decision would not be changed, she just wanted to put an end to the past, after all, she married into the palace and would meet again in the future, if the emperor misunderstood, it would be bad for everyone.

The empress dowager thought that this was true, so she sent Defu, the head of the Ningshou Palace, and Suju, the eldest aunt, to accompany Yuan Chun to the Qianqing Palace.As a result, Emperor Qianyuan did not meet Jia Yuanchun because of his busy schedule.

In the end, Yuan Chun was sent back to Rongfu by the chief eunuch Defu and the eldest aunt Suju with regret.

At that time, Jia Mu was talking and joking with sister Daiyu Yingchun, when she heard an angel coming to the door, she was taken aback.

Here, Jia Lian also got the news from the empress dowager, fearing that Jia's mother would be surprised, he hurried to Rongqing hall, and told Jia's mother according to the empress dowager's order that Jia Yuanchun had made great achievements in the Nanyuan hunting ground, and was gifted by the empress dowager to marry him out of the palace. People, the imperial decree of the marriage will come to the gate of the mansion later, so that Mother Jia should not be suspicious. In short, it is a happy event.

When Jia Mu heard that Yuan Chun was going out to marry someone, she was both happy and worried, but she was puzzled that Yuan Chun's horoscope that was approved by the eminent monk was extremely precious.

Now that you go out of the palace to marry, how can you still be a noble person?

However, Mother Jia was very happy to be able to reunite with her grandparents. She hurriedly ordered Yuanyang to wait for her to change clothes, put on high-grade makeup, and went to Rongxi Hall to receive the order.

Everyone waited for a while, and then saw a carriage with emerald curtains and canopies approaching slowly, passed Rongning Street, and stopped only at the gate of Rongguo Mansion.

Yuanchun borrowed the light of the angel and returned to Rongfu from the gate this time. It must be said that the Empress Dowager was very kind and did not let Jia Yuanchun go home from the small gate with the package.

Yuanchun entered the mansion, flew to the front of Jiamu, knelt down on both knees and kowtowed three times, crying: "The unfilial granddaughter pays respects to grandma, grandma is well!"

Mother Jia's tears fell down in a flash, and she held Yuan Chun in her arms with both hands, crying and laughing: "It's good to be back, it's good to be back, you can stay at home and be the eldest lady with peace of mind. From now on, grandma will love you." you."

The eldest aunt Suju laughed and said: "Old lady, you are going to be disappointed. The empress dowager is in charge. She has given the marriage of Miss Jia to Prince Zhongjing as the princess. The marriage will come soon, so you should hurry up and prepare the incense table." Accept the order."

Mother Jia was pleasantly surprised when she heard the words: "Princess Zhongjing?"

Defu also came forward to congratulate Jia's mother: "Congratulations, old lady, congratulations to the old lady, the queen mother was afraid that the official Jia would be shy and timid, so she ordered her servants and Aunt Suju to come and report. The queen mother said, She decides to bestow marriages on behalf of Lady Jia, if the old lady is unhappy, she can go to the palace to talk to the empress dowager."

How could Mother Jia be unhappy? She was so happy that she couldn't close her mouth from ear to ear. Although King Zhongjing was about the same age as Jia She, the palace had no heirs and no parents-in-law. There is no better marriage than this one.

Mother Jia burst into tears of joy, her precious granddaughter was finally able to see the light of day.Looking in the direction of the palace, she knelt down and kowtowed: "My wife thanked the Queen Mother for her kindness, a thousand years ago!"

Defu and Suju wrote down all kinds of reports from Jia's mansion when they returned to the palace but did not mention them.

However, it was said that Jia Mu was here supporting Yuan Chun and had just returned to Rongqingtang. A cup of tea was not finished, and Lin Zhixiao came in to report again: "Old lady, the official from the clan's mansion and the official department has arrived. The second master said that you should hurry up." Go to Rongxi Hall to receive the decree."

Jia's mother was so happy that she couldn't close her mouth from ear to ear: "Oh, oh, hurry up, I will go now."

Lin Zhixiao said with a smile: "How can I let you walk? The second grandma ordered the sedan chair to be prepared. Don't worry, it will be fast and stable, and you will not be delayed in receiving the order."

Mother Jia smiled happily, with the wind blowing from the soles of her feet, she went straight out: "Well, well, there are rewards and rewards, and everyone in the whole house is waiting for a monthly reward."

When I arrived at Rongxi Hall for a while, I saw the officials of the Ministry of Rites in red shirts and the Zongling of the Clan Mansion. Whether it was the Empress Dowager who gave the marriage, or the King Zhongjing who was given the marriage, no matter which side was involved, the Clan Mansion and the Ministry of Rituals would all agree. Don't be careless.Therefore, the Minister of Rites and Zong Ling came in person.

This is an honor that Rongguo Mansion has not seen for a long time.

Jiamu laughed so hard that she couldn't see her teeth.

Especially when Jia's mother heard the imperial decree to confer Jia Yuanchun as county monarch, she burst into tears of gratitude, and kowtowed again to thank God.

Although the annual salary of the county lord is only a few dozen taels, the county lord is a symbol of status. Historically, only the clan can confer titles, and there has never been a precedent for ordinary women to be conferred titles.The county king's concubine is not the same as the common people's concubine!

Of course, Jia's mother didn't know that all of this was Jia Lian's meritorious service in exchange for the queen mother.

But here Jia Yuanchun had just received the marriage decree, and the eunuch came to the palace to deliver the decree, and Emperor Qianyuan ordered Jia Lian to enter the palace immediately.

Jia Lian's heart skipped a beat when he heard the words, but he didn't show it on his face. He straightened his clothes and went to the Qianqing Palace to have an audience.

Jia Lian entered the palace, knelt down and kowtowed, shouting long live three times, but did not hear the voice of Emperor Qianyuan calling.Jia Lian didn't dare to get up without authorization, and obediently bowed her head and bowed her ears.

After a while, I got hit on the top of my head.

"Huh? Are you very proud?"

Jia Lian hurriedly said, "I don't dare!"

Emperor Qianyuan snorted coldly: "Don't dare? I think you are quite courageous, how dare you avoid me and get people out of the palace!"

Jia Lian didn't dare to argue, and said: "Don't dare to hide your majesty, this is a big matter, and I have to do it. I have already reported the details of the twists and turns to the Queen Mother. I just seek truth from facts and listen to the Queen Mother to decide everything. , dare not be good at it.”

Emperor Qianyuan and Yuanchun didn't have any life-and-death complex, but they felt a little uncomfortable after being taken away quietly.However, Emperor Qianyuan also understood that the empress dowager had to deal with it in this way, otherwise, Emperor Qianyuan would become the laughing stock of the world.

Of course, there is another way to prevent this kind of thing from happening, and that is to silence.

However, the Empress Dowager convinced Emperor Qianyuan that it was a good thing that Yuanchun, as Princess Jing, had an attachment to the royal family, and it was more conducive to the coordination and stability of the imperial family and the royal family.

Although Emperor Qianyuan was promiscuous, he was not unfeeling towards women. He only knew that he had given the title to Jia Zheng in Yuanchun in his last life.

Jia Lian's sincere and fearful attitude made Emperor Qianyuan feel more at ease.He snorted coldly: "If I hadn't begged for you before you, even if you begged the queen mother, I would not let you go. However, if I let Jia Yuanchun go, one life for another, it can be regarded as repaying you." Do you accept the grace of saving my life?"

Jia Lian frowned, can Yuanchun compare with Emperor Qianyuan?

Of course Jia Lian thought it was fair to pay one life for one life, but would Emperor Qianyuan, a man who must repay his grievances, think so?

Obviously not!

Jia Lian said: "I dare not agree with you!"

Emperor Qianyuan let out a laugh: "How dare you not accept it?"

Jia Lian said: "Your Majesty is the emperor, my sister is a commoner, how can my sister be compared with the emperor!"

Emperor Qianyuan laughed happily when he heard this: "Okay, don't pour me any more ecstasy soup, because you are all for the country and for me, I forgive you, get up."

Jia Lian thanked him and got up.

Emperor Qianyuan seemed to want to get off the Dragon Seat, but he fell back due to his waist injury.

Jia Lian lowered his head and pretended not to notice.Just kidding, if Emperor Qianyuan could see that someone knew the reason behind his loss of power, would he still want to live?

Emperor Qianyuan looked at Jia Lian and waved, "Come and help me."

Emperor Qianyuan didn't shy away from his waist injury?

Jia Lian was slightly startled, but he quickly stepped forward to help Emperor Qianyuan with such a sincere and fearful attitude.

Emperor Qianyuan stared at Jia Lian's little wife-like expression, but he sneered: "Okay, stop pretending, don't think that I don't know how you usually fool me with internal and external cooperation."

Jia Lian hurriedly said: "I don't dare, even if I tell my father-in-laws about your majesty's mood and habits, it's to better serve your majesty the emperor. You have no bad intentions, your majesty is aware of it."

Emperor Qianyuan snorted coldly: "If I didn't know that you are here to make me happy, I would have dealt with you eight hundred times already."

Jia Lian bowed his head and paid attention to his ears, and repeatedly praised: "The Holy One is wise!"

Emperor Qianyuan looked at Jia Lian: "I was planning to confer on you a captain of Qingche, but now I have become a county monarch. You have exchanged losses, you know?"

Jia Lian said: "Human life is worth a thousand gold, thank you Your Majesty for your kindness!"

Emperor Qianyuan hummed: "Long En Long En, you know the saying that you will repay your kindness?"

Jia Lian heard the sound and understood the elegant meaning, cupped his hands and said, "I will obey the holy order!"

"Did you know that there were bandits on the canal?"

"Not only do I know, but I have also been to the government office to learn about some of the bandit's activities. I think that this group of bandits can bring peace."

Emperor Qianyuan waved his hand: "In the past, I have always forgiven them, issued an order on the spot, and distributed An's family silver, but, as you can see, they actually made more and more trouble, and even made trouble in front of my eyes. I can't bear to be afraid anymore." We're going to break into the Forbidden City."

Emperor Qianyuan looked angrily, and Jia Lian dared to insist on his own opinion after hearing the words.

Emperor Qianyuan was very satisfied with his respectful appearance, and said: "Well, you reminded me in time, the two traitors, King Zhongshun and King Zhongyi, are said to have gone all the way south, either to Ping'an Island, or to join forces with Japanese pirates, I have already notified Shi Ding and Wang Ziteng of this situation in a hurry, let Shi Ding guard the pass, and prevent the traitors from getting out of the hook, and Wang Ziteng sits in Ping'an Island, at least they can't let them occupy the guard."

Jia Lian's heart skipped a beat when he heard the words, and he said, "A strong dragon will not overwhelm a local snake, and Wang Jian will only accompany dozens of people, so I'm afraid it won't work."

Emperor Qianyuan raised his eyebrows when he heard the words: "Is it possible that the two thieves really dare to rebel?" Jia Lian said: "The two thieves murdered His Majesty. Compared with the danger of the two kings, the bandits on the canal are nothing more than scabies."

Emperor Qianyuan's face changed when he heard this, and he shouted sharply, "Send the King of Xijun to see you."

Jia Lian was asked by Emperor Qianyuan to help him return to the Dragon Throne to maintain the dignity of the emperor.

Emperor Qianyuan bared his teeth and pretended to be majestic.

Jia Lian was very happy in his heart, he wanted to save face and suffer, he deserved it!

Because Xijun was not in the palace at the time, he arrived a moment later.

Emperor Qianyuan didn't seem to have expected that Prince Xi would come so slowly. After questioning him a few times, he finally remembered that Commander Xi had just returned from Nanyuan, and had spent the past two days looking for him without sleep.Emperor Qianyuan seemed to realize at this time that his energetic younger brother would also be tired.

When Naxi County King came slowly, Emperor Qianyuan changed his mind about dispatching Xi County King.Instead, he asked King Xi about his views on the whereabouts of the two thieves, and whether the commander of Pinganzhou would fall to the two thieves.

King Xijun agreed with Jia Lian, and he said loudly, "I thought the two thieves would definitely instigate or force Yang Jiuzhi to submit. Brother Huang, let's make preparations early."

When the king of Xijun learned that Wang Ziteng was on patrol in southern Xinjiang, he was as worried as Jia Lian: "There is no one in the Wang inspector's hands, I'm afraid it will be difficult to persuade Yang Jiuzhi."

Later, King Xijun put forward two suggestions: "One way is to order Wang Jiandian to borrow troops from neighboring prefectures and counties;

Emperor Qianyuan said: "Once the imperial court increases its troops in southern Xinjiang, it may be difficult to deceive people."

King Xi paused when he heard the words. Yes, once the imperial court arranges troops, they will be discovered by the minions who stayed in the capital. They will definitely notify the second thieves. Maybe the second thieves will take the risk and launch a mutiny in advance.

At this moment, Jia Lian interjected, "I have a little idea, I don't know..."

Hearing that Jia Lian had a solution, Emperor Qianyuan couldn't wait: "Tell me quickly."

Jia Lian said: "Of course the army marches in the daytime, there is a lot of movement, but what if we change to repairing during the day and marching at night? There is another way, we can break it up into parts, pretend to be merchants, or go to southern Xinjiang for study tours. , or the Jianghu people who walk the darts, this way will definitely be able to deceive people's eyes and ears. In this way, as long as either team succeeds, it can solve the crisis in Pinganzhou, and maybe both teams can reach Pinganzhou safely, and wipe out the two thieves in one fell swoop."

Emperor Qianyuan Emperor Xijun heard the words and looked at Jia Lian together. The two brothers had the same thoughts.Over time, the achievements are not small.

Prince Xi smiled: "In your opinion, who is the best leader?"

Jia Lian said: "Of course, the more noble the status, the better. King Zhongshun and King Zhongyi County are not something ordinary people can surrender."

This time, there are three choices in the imperial court. The first one is Emperor Qianyuan's imperial conquest. However, Emperor Qianyuan is currently in poor health. Even if he looks good, the emperor will not stand alone under the dangerous wall.

The second is Prince Ying, the younger brother of Emperor Qianyuan.

The third Prince Xi.

In addition, even if the prince is dispatched, it may not be able to suppress the second thief king.

In the end, Emperor Qianyuan decided to let Prince Ying take the eldest prince to Ping'anzhou.As a result, the edict was issued, and soon there was news that the Prince of England had a leg problem.The Prince of England has always suffered from leg problems. Once the attack occurs, no matter how serious it is, he will not be able to lead the army to surprise Ping Anzhou.

Emperor Qianyuan turned dark immediately.

At this time, King Xijun had no choice but to recommend himself: "If the emperor is trustworthy, the younger brother is willing to take a trip to Ping Anzhou."

Emperor Qianyuan nodded: "I thought you were too tired at first, and I wanted you to take a rest. There are more important things to rely on you in the future. Now it can't be done. I still have to work hard on you."

At that time, the brothers and ministers discussed and decided that King Xi led the cavalry army into pieces and went to Ping'an Island for rescue.

Before the soldiers and horses moved the food and grass, King Xijun went to the Ministry of War.

Jia Lian really wanted to go to Ping'an Island, he didn't want Prince Teng to have trouble, no matter the past life or present life, the existence of Prince Teng as an ally would be beneficial and harmless.

It's a pity that Emperor Qianyuan didn't mean it at all, so Jia Lian had no choice but to keep silent.Accept the mission of Emperor Qianyuan to wipe out the canal bandits.

Jia Lian immediately suggested that he needed help.

Emperor Qianyuan waved his hand: "The Xiaoqi Battalion has gone, and the Shotgun Battalion can no longer be moved."

Jia Lian smiled: "I don't have such a big appetite. I want to ask the emperor to second the twenty troops from the cloud echelon of the Holy Army."

Emperor Qianyuan smiled immediately: "It's the two elders you have personally trained, right? Go and talk to Feng Tang yourself."

Here Jia Lian happily said goodbye, thinking that Feng Tang happened to be still in the capital, so he turned and went to Feng's house, and told him about his secondment of troops.Hearing that as long as there are two elders, and the emperor opened the mouth, Feng Tang agreed without thinking.Immediately, someone sent an order back to Xishan, ordering Tang Hui and Wang Lei to go to Beijing.

Jia Lian smiled and refused: "Don't bother, I'd better go on my own. I still have a little matter to ask the general for help. Please write a warrant and ask the Shotgun Manufacturing Office to assist me in making a batch of weapons."

Feng Tang scolded with a smile: "Secretly equipped with weapons? What kind of moth did you come up with, kid? Let me tell you, if you want to snatch it, get rid of it as soon as possible."

Jia Lian hurriedly waved his hands: "I guarantee that I will never touch guns. I will say it clearly. Although the Yunti team is powerful in attacking the city, its combat effectiveness is too poor. It is inconvenient for the attacking troops to carry long bows and arrows. I want to manufacture a batch of guns to replace bows and arrows. Brothers follow me, I must always be responsible for their safety, right?"

When Feng Tang heard this, he took it for granted, but his heart was moved: "The general can agree, but you must donate the manufacturing plan of this **** for free. As a reward for your dedication, the general allows you to borrow related equipment. ,how?"

Is this also an autumn wind?

Jia Lian was stunned: "Shouldn't the Shotgun Camp not need sex?"

Feng Tang snorted: "It's up to me to decide whether I need it or not."

Jia Lian rolled his eyes: "Okay, I want to add one more, the manufacturing office has to make a batch of sleeve arrows for my team, and it's free of charge!"

Feng Tang scolded with a smile: "Understood, I won't ask you to post money."

Jia Lian also laughed: "It's not a matter of silver, the material of the sleeve arrow cannot be bought with silver."

Jia Lian couldn't help being overjoyed when he got Feng Tang's warrant.

Unexpectedly, Jia Yun sent information that the men of the Yang family began to leave the city one after another from the beginning of today. At this time, a large number of carriages from the Yang family went to Tangshan other courtyard. Because there was a nursing home following the carriages, Jia Yun's men did not dare to approach. However, the car had deep ruts, and Jia Yun judged that it should be a silver car.

The female family members of the Yang family have not moved at present.Therefore, he could not judge whether the Yang family would escape.

Jia Lian was shocked.This shows that Yang Jiuzhi already knew the news about Kyoto and made corresponding defenses.

This matter must be reported to the emperor as soon as possible.

He immediately edited the book and described the changes in the Yang family in detail.

Jia Lian called the kite and said, "Go to Qianjie and look for the shopkeeper of Huixiang Building, and tell him that I have a batch of tea leaves to sell, and ask him for a price."

Yaozi's face was calm: "Don't worry, Er Ye." Yaozi was agile in his hands and feet, and quickly returned to his command: "The shopkeeper agreed."

Only then did Jia Lian feel relieved, and after lunch, he left for the Xishan Fengsheng Army's garrison.

This time, Jia Lian met his immediate superior, Liu Zichao, and asked for General Feng Tang's warrant.

Tang Hui and Wang Lei were very happy when they heard the words. These days Jia Lian left, and they didn't have much energy in training.

In an instant, Jia Lian was surrounded by twenty of his subordinates, shouting and yelling, but Jia Lian clasped his fists together and said, "Hello, brothers."

Then Jia Lian stretched his arms and pressed down, and all twenty of his subordinates immediately fell silent.

Jia Lian said: "I am here this time to bring you a chance to be rewarded for your meritorious service. You just need to follow my instructions, and I guarantee that each of you will get what you want.

Do you dare to fight with me? "

20 people shouted in unison: "Dare!"

"If Lang Guan dares, we will!"

Jia Lian smiled with satisfaction: "I already knew that the brothers are not cowards, now listen to my order and start running, aiming at the Shotgun Camp."

Tang Hui and Wang Lei were overjoyed at the time: "Guard Lang, are we transferred to the Shotgun Battalion?"

Jia Lian said with a smile: "You are beautiful, you don't see an inch of merit, why do you get promoted to the Shotgun Battalion? However, it will be uncertain in a few months, everything is possible, I hope you will take good care of it."

Tang Hui was more familiar with Jia Lian because he asked, "Well, Mr. Lang, what are we going to do now?"

Jia Lian pretended to be mysterious and said: "When you reach the boundary, you will know it naturally. It is always a good thing!"
