Jia Lian of the Red Chamber

When the officials heard this, they suddenly realized that it was no wonder that Hou Yan had been swimming among the flowers for decades without touching a single leaf, yet someone threaded the needle for him.

Not surprisingly, Jia Lian saw the names of Rongguo Mansion, Jiamu and Baoyu in the materials explained by Ma Daopo.

Ma Daopo was identified as the work of Jia Baoyu, the second bedroom master of the Rongguo Mansion, as the godmother.

The eyes of all the officials looking at Jia Lian suddenly changed.

Jia Lian immediately argued: "Weichen's second aunt gave birth at an advanced age, and her cousin fell to the ground and was thin. The old lady was afraid that she would not be able to support her, so she decided to find the poorest person to be her godmother. Most people in the capital have this experience. As for why they found Ma Daopo, but because she happened to be in the mansion at that time."

When Jia Lian said this, everyone locked their mouths.It is not uncommon in Kyoto for children to pray to nunneries and Taoist temples because of illness.In what year did the people in Kyoto donate a few taels of silver and catties of sesame oil to the nunnery?

If it is so far-fetched, there are not many clean houses in the capital.

Having said that, Emperor Qianyuan would not let go of his stingy temperament casually, and sent someone to secretly investigate the relationship between Jia Mu and Ma Daopo.

The territory that was originally promised to be assigned to Jia Lian after the fifteenth day was gone, and the funds for the Ministry of War were also gone.

Jia Lian, who had been extremely busy, took a rest at home.

Knowing the whole story, Jia Amnesty was so angry that his nose was smoking, and he ran to Mother Jia and complained, promising to give Lai's garden to the second bedroom, and let the second bedroom move out of the house immediately.

Of course, Mother Jia disagreed, and she was immediately annoyed: "You can't tolerate brothers like this? Now the second room in the capital is only Yuanchun and Baoyu who have no family, and the widowed daughter-in-law Zhu. Such orphans and widows are kicked out. Does Lian'er have a good reputation?"

Jia Shen muttered and left.

Therefore, Jia's mother learned that her little trick of fooling people had caused Jia Lian such a disaster.

After much thought, Mother Jia handed over a sign asking to see the Empress Dowager.

Although the empress dowager was in a state of desperation, she took the time to meet Jia Mu.

Jia Mu reported the incident to the Queen Mother one by one. Although she paid homage to Ma Daopo, she did not have any close contact with her.

At the same time, Mother Jia told the Empress Dowager that the two households in the Rongguo Mansion had been separated for a year. It was only because Jia Lian sympathized with the Yuanchun siblings who had not yet married, and Li Wan was a widow, that she took care of them in the mansion until everyone had a home. Only then will the family be completely separated.In short, praise Jia Lian again.

The empress dowager knew why Jia's mother came, but she couldn't guarantee that she would be able to persuade Emperor Qianyuan to change his mind.

After returning to the mansion, Jia Mu talked to Jia Lian: "This time, grandma is the trouble for you. I have already explained the matter clearly to the empress dowager. I don't know whether the emperor believes it or not. So, I can't help you anymore."

The case of the third prince, Nightmare Town, and the eighth prince dragged on for a month, and finally the case was hastily closed.

The third prince was imprisoned.

The residence of the Duke of Xiu State was ransacked, all the men above the knee were executed after Ding Qiu, and the female relatives were sent to the army as prostitutes.

The Wu family is better, the men are assigned to work in northern Xinjiang, and the women are repatriated to their hometowns.Without the protection of a man, their fate will not be much better.

The third prince's father-in-law was also implicated when he was in charge of the government of the country, and was reprimanded by Emperor Qianyuan for no reason, and most of the officials' children in the court were dismissed.

Liu Zichao, who served in the Holy Army, was able to retain his post as lieutenant because of Feng Tang Libao.

And the biggest beneficiary is the Eighth Prince's brother, the Seventh Prince.Because the eighth prince was harmed by the technique of disgusting victory, his life was overdrawn. Afterwards, although he woke up, he was lingering on the sick bed ever since.

Emperor Qianyuan felt ashamed because of this, and released the grounded Seventh Prince.Neither the emperor nor the empress dowager raised any objections this time.

But Jia Lian saw the strangeness of this time's technique of disgusting victory.

He asked Mr. Du privately for details: "You are very knowledgeable and well-informed. Will the people in Nightmare Town have sequelae?"

Mr. Du shook his head: "The theory should not be true. The people in Nightmare Town will exhaust their energy because of their crazy behavior at that time, and their bodies will be tired for a while. However, after three to five days, they should be able to recover on their own. The eighth prince's condition is getting worse and worse. Serious, something special."

Therefore, Jia Lian discussed this matter with Feng Ziying: "I think this matter is a bit strange, since the eighth prince went crazy, everything is very strange."

Feng Ziying said: "It's a pity that Hou Liwen committed suicide suddenly after the incident. This disaster in Nightmare Town has become a case without a head, and it can no longer be investigated clearly."

Jia Lian stared at him: "This Hou Liwen is so insane that he dragged all the family members to be buried with him."

Feng Ziying smiled: "Actually, in Hou Liwen's heart, the only real relative is his dead mother. Hou Xiaokang is indeed nothing. Back then, because of the debts in the house, he married Hou Liwen's mother, and paid off the household debt with his wife's dowry. 50 in debt. Then he turned his face and ruthlessly set aside the family as a wooden spiritual card, but he had a secret relationship with his childhood sweetheart cousin. Hou Liwen's mother was pregnant at the time, but fell for no reason, killing two people. Hou Xiaokang's wife's bones were not cold , I couldn’t wait to marry my cousin in the name of leaving the youngest son unattended, and she gave birth to a son in July after entering the door, and because of this son, Hou Xiaokang has been slow to ask Hou Liwen to be crowned heir."

Jia Lian was stunned: "You mean, Hou Liwen did it on purpose? It's too expensive for him. But why did he want to kill the third prince?"

Feng Ziying was also puzzled: "That's right, is it just for the sake of my own hatred that I will be desperate?"

Jia Lian clapped her hands: "Look up the details of the Viscountess of Xiuguo Mansion, is she really his cousin?"

Feng Ziying then went to the Ministry of Households and the Ministry of Officials.I ordered my wife to ask for a seal, and the names of the three generations must be written, and the family must be innocent to be granted the imperial seal.In that kind of drama, the imperial order of the brothel girls is just a legend.

Soon, Feng Ziying found Hou Wang's heel, but her mother was Wu Guifei's distant cousin, and it was a bit ridiculous to say she was a cousin.This cousin is the drag bottle brought by Wu Guifei's cousin to marry the widow.

Hou Wang's biological father was a scholar, implicated in the imperial examination fraud case and imprisoned to death. Her grandmother drove their mother and daughter out of the house because they were mourners.

Hou Wang's mother was good-looking, so she was able to remarry, and she named her Tuyouping daughter her husband's surname.

Concubine Wu Guifei's cousin is a city gate guard, so she had the opportunity to get acquainted with the desperate Wang mother and daughter.

Jia Lian saw this woman's experience as a drama, because he asked: "How can I become a cousin with the Hou family?"

Feng Ziying laughed immediately: "Concubine Wu Guifei became a concubine, and her younger sister married Hou Xiaokang's concubine younger brother. This Wang family often goes to Xiuguo's mansion as a guest, so we hooked up."

Jia Lian sighed: "Because of a frivolous and lowly woman, she killed her benefactor-like wife. It's not my fault that his son was cruel and uprooted him."

Suddenly, Jia Lian's mind flashed, and he patted Feng Ziying: "Check out Hou Liwen's birth mother's footsteps!"

Feng Ziying suddenly realized: "You mean, he has something to do with the Seventh Prince?"

Jia Lian pursed her lips: "I'm just guessing? Don't you think that Hou Liwen's madness is somewhat similar to Gu Pei's?"

Feng Ziying was stunned: "But, isn't the third prince and the seventh prince also involved?"

Jia Lian said, "You can only find out after checking."

Just like the relationship between the Jia family and the Zhen family, and the relationship with the Queen Mother, if it weren't for the old man in Jingdu, no one would know that the Jia family and the Zhen family were originally relatives.

Because of this, Jia Lian in his previous life never suspected that Prince Ying was the murderer who killed his brother and mother.

Feng Ziying's investigation was even faster this time.

Hou Liwen's mother was not related to the Gu family, but Hou Liwen's mother came from a family of salt merchants and was a family friend with Concubine Shu's family, and they were handkerchiefs.

Jia Lian suddenly understood.He found Mr. Du again, and asked straight to the point: "Mr. Du, can you tell me the truth, does the son born from your family's secret recipe for childbirth have any sequelae?"

Mr. Du shook his head: "I'm not sure, but my family has left an ancestral precept, unless it is absolutely necessary, you are not allowed to use the secret recipe for childbirth."

Jia Lian said with a smile: "So, you would rather have only one granddaughter than give your son the secret recipe for having children?"

Mr. Du shook his head: "No, I'm not in a hurry because my daughter-in-law can give birth. No one would have thought that my son would have an accident. If my son has nothing to do for many years, I might give it a try. Although I don't know you asked this question What to do, but I can tell you that if men and women cannot have children normally, it only means that they are defective and do not have the conditions to have children. Therefore, those children who are born against the heavens must have defects."

Jia Lian's heart suddenly moved: "You have seen a few of my nephews, have they given birth to a child without any problem?"

Mr. Du smiled and said: "Of course, Uncle Xiao Rong has already given birth to twins. I don't need to say that. The remaining brothers Jia Yun and Jia Ling, that Brother Lan and Brother Bao, I have seen them all. They are very healthy. They are all like the fate of having a son to die."

Jia Lian got up and bowed: "Thank you, Mr. Du, for clarifying the confusion."

Later, Jia Lian tried to find out the cause of Hou Liwen's mother's death, but because of the age, there was nothing to investigate.

That night, Jia Lian wrote a secret document and presented it to Emperor Qianyuan.

Jia Lian said, Weichen is not calling for grievances for himself, Weichen just wants to restore the truth.The humble minister thought that the third prince had been wronged.The cause of it all lies in Hou Xiaokang, the viscount of the Hou family.

Jia Lian did not implicate the Seventh Prince, because even if the Seventh Prince was released, he would also lose his favor, so there is nothing to fear.Unless he has the ability to raise the flag to rebel.

It's not that Jia Lian looked down on him, he might not be able to pass if he wanted to imitate the King of Zhongyi County.

Jia Lian interpreted all of Hou Liwen's actions as revenge for his mother.The reason why he led all this to the third prince was because he wanted to take revenge on Concubine Wu Gui and Hou Wu who supported the Hou Wang family.

Jia Lian reported this conclusion to Emperor Qianyuan at the end of February.

It's a pity that Emperor Qianyuan seemed to be blind and deaf, and there was no news for half a month.

Jia Lian is also stable, he still leads the children in the mansion to practice the formation every day, and never sees any visits from the old department of Xishan Pingziying.

However, under the leadership of Wu Yong, Tang Hui and Wang Lei, Pingziying trained in an orderly manner.

At the end of March, Jia Lian led the children to practice climbing on Cuiwei Mountain. Suddenly, Sister Feng sent a kite to inform Jia Lian that Uncle Zhang and Uncle Lin came to visit with guests.

When Jia Lian heard that the elders were visiting, he dared not neglect, ordered the children to continue training, and hurried down the mountain to return home.But he saw Zhang's uncle, Uncle Lin, standing at the door of the study.

Jia Lian was taken aback for a moment, then swept his study with his consciousness, and as expected, Emperor Qianyuan was present.

Jia Lian pretended not to know, smiled and saluted and said with a smile: "Why don't these monkeys serve tea to the eldest relative, and Sister Feng is the same. What can I do to avoid my uncle and uncle, but leave my uncle and uncle here. You two old people are so delicious. Your niece and daughter-in-law brewed it." Good fruit wine, there are jujube wine, peach wine, cider, wine, and daughter red made from rouge rice, which will be kept in the well room in the backyard for refrigeration. Which one do you two elders like? Tonight, my nephew will accompany the two eldest relatives Get drunk and rest."

Emperor Qianyuan was drooling when he heard it in the room, but Jia Lian babbled outside and never entered the room.Just when his patience was at its limit, Jia Lian suddenly said, "Uncle and uncle, you haven't seen the Martial Arts Hall yet, have you? Why don't your nephews take you to see it? And those children in our family, if we can get your two If you read the article for them, you will definitely be insane. They will have to brag in the future, Master Lin and Master Zhang have read my article!"

Jia Lian deliberately talked and danced, but didn't go into the house to find Emperor Qianyuan.Emperor Qianyuan was so angry that his nose was smoking.

In the end, he couldn't bear it anymore, he didn't want to be an expert, and he didn't listen to Bijiao anymore, and walked out with a cold snort: "Hmm, I don't seem to have revoked your errand, you actually left the army for no reason, what should you do?" ah?"

Jia Lian heard the words and was busy paying respects and paying respects: "I will see your Majesty, Your Majesty is safe."

Emperor Qianyuan waved his hand: "What do I want to ask you?"

Jia Lian said: "I remember that I asked His Majesty for instructions on New Year's Eve. When my Imperial Forest Army will take down the territory, I can take office immediately. Your Majesty said, 'What's the hurry, celebrate the new year first, and wait for the Ministry of War to notify you before taking office', I have been Waiting at home, I haven't seen any official documents from the Ministry of War. Therefore, I don't know where to go to work, so I have to wait patiently at home, and please be careful."

Emperor Qianyuan snorted: "I sent someone to the Ministry of War to ask, but you didn't ask?"

But Jia Lian said: "I know that your Majesty and the officials of the various ministries are busy with business. Since I haven't notified my minister, it must be that the territory of the Imperial Forest Army has not been demarcated. Wouldn't it be annoying for me to ask that day? Don't be afraid of being late for a good meal, my minister. Just wait patiently."

Emperor Qianyuan pointed to Jia Lian and said to Uncle Zhangjiajie and Uncle Lin: "Look, this mouth, if I say one sentence, he will say ten sentences, it really doesn't hurt."

Uncle Zhang was busy complimenting him: "This is what His Majesty is used to."

But Uncle Lin said: "Your Majesty is straightforward, congratulations to Your Majesty, the harmony between the monarch and his ministers is the harbinger of a peaceful and prosperous age."

Emperor Qianyuan snorted: "I went to court early in the morning, I forgot to eat breakfast, let's go, go back to the palace to eat."

At this time, Jia Lian was busy making a preface and said, "I would like to report to Your Majesty that I have prepared some thin wine in my house, and please Your Majesty to reward me."

Emperor Qianyuan laughed immediately: "Okay, I will give you some face."

Here, Sister Feng has already prepared all the food and wine, but today, Sister Feng did not dare to serve private dishes poured with spiritual water, but used Changping Zhuangzi to produce.However, the water used was ten times diluted spiritual spring water, so that the two elders could enjoy their meal without making the dishes special.

Although Sister Feng had met Emperor Qianyuan, how could she dare to stare at him, but she only saw a shining golden dragon robe.

Therefore, Uncle Zhang's family was a colleague of Emperor Qianyuan's Si cabinet, and Sister Feng believed it. At that time, she saluted Emperor Qianyuan and said with a smile: "Uncle and uncle's colleagues are also elders of niece and daughter-in-law. Please sit in the study."

Then Sister Feng served tea to the three of them in person with a smile, and then said to Uncle Zhangjiajie and Uncle Lin: "Lian'er is taking advantage of these days to be free at home, and is hurrying up to train the children of the Imperial Forest Army. Running wildly on Cuiwei Mountain, I can't get home until the meal time. However, today the distinguished guests are coming, and the nephew and daughter-in-law have already been called."

Uncle Zhang's family was afraid that Sister Feng would slip up, so he hurriedly said: "Go and do your own work, we are not outsiders, so we will wait for him here."

Sister Feng said with a smile: "In that case, the three elders please sit down, and my niece and daughter-in-law will leave."

Uncle Zhang liked to eat the food of Rong Mansion, and although Uncle Lin came here seldom, he never declined the dishes and rice served in Hemerocallis Tang, so when Sister Feng came out, she went to the kitchen to order more food for the distinguished guests.Because now Rongfu also eats in a fixed amount, and the ingredients are precious, so as to reduce waste.

Therefore, when Jia Lian came back here, Sister Feng's food and drinks were ready, and she could serve the table only when Jia Lian, the guest, came home.

After the food and wine were brought in, Jia Lian drove Sister Feng and all the servants out, and ordered Xing'er and Long'er to guard the door: "We have to discuss things here, and you all wait outside. Don't disturb anything."

Emperor Qianyuan took his seat, and waved to Zhang's uncle, Uncle Lin: "When you're away from home, you don't have to be so particular, just sit down and eat."

Jia Lian had no seat, and took the initiative to serve wine and food.

Emperor Qianyuan basically didn't use meat dishes, but only ate this vegetarian dish, but he praised it with a chopstick: "Not bad, not bad, it's almost as good as the vegetarian dishes made by the old monk of Xiangguo Temple. Your cook is good, where did you hire him?"

Jia Lian replied: "Reporting to Your Majesty, this table of wine and food was prepared by my wife."

Emperor Qianyuan's eyes lit up when he heard the words: "Well, yes, she is indeed Wang Ziteng's daughter."

Jia Lian cupped his hands: "It's my niece."

Emperor Qianyuan waved his hand: "Not far away!"

Emperor Qianyuan did not indulge his appetite. He ate two or three mouthfuls of each dish, but chewed carefully, and put down his chopsticks after drinking three glasses of wine.

Uncle Zhang and Uncle Lin put down the chopsticks in a tacit understanding.

Jia Lian is busy here, recruiting people to come in to serve, wash their mouths and wash their hands.

Emperor Qianyuan immediately said goodbye: "I am in a humble dress and should not stay for a long time, so you have had enough rest, get ready to take office tomorrow."

Zhang's uncle, Uncle Lin, also left immediately, and Jun Cheng and the others came and left in a hurry.

Sister Feng was still waiting for Jia Lian to order more wine and food, but she left.She was very surprised: "Why are Uncle and Uncle in such a hurry today? I asked Sister Lin, but Uncle Lin refused."

Jia Lian smiled and stretched out four fingers, then shook his hand and raised his thumb: "He is here, haven't you seen him?"

Sister Feng originally came to smile, but she was taken aback when she saw Jia Lian mumbling: "Four? Big? Ouch..."

Jia Lian covered her mouth: "Shut up, don't say anything."

Sister Feng was so frightened that she only patted her chest: "Oh, I'm so scared to death. I still recognize him as the elder, and he is still smiling and nodding!"

It was rare to see Sister Feng frightened, and Jia Lian smiled unkindly.

The next day, when Jia Lian took office, Emperor Qianyuan ordered that the entire east of Xishan be assigned to the Imperial Forest Army.After all, the Xishan Fengsheng Army's resident school field barracks has all kinds of soldiers counting platforms, so there is no need to build them.Although Jia Lian did not study in the honor of serving the Holy Army, in fact, it was as if the Fengsheng Army had an extra force of a capital.

Jia Lian started his career as a captain in this way.

Jia Lian's errand is very simple, which is to train troops and perform battles.

Because of the indecision of Emperor Qianyuan, the training time for one month was delayed. Jia Lian had to adjust the training time and training methods. The new alliance of the Yulin Army could not be uniform. 800 people who can easily complete the rapid march form a Lang team named Shuiziying.

Appoint the charismatic Shuiwen as the acting captain, and then transfer 100 people from Laopingziying to infiltrate the Shuiziying to serve as Lang Guan, Deputy Lang Guan, Yu Guan, Banner Officer, Grain Officer, Shi Zhang, Wu Zhang, and so on. These veterans assisted Shui Wen, allowing Shui Ziying to enter the training of Qinggong climbing in advance.

For the remaining 600 people, Jia Lian summoned them to a collective lecture and told them bluntly that because the training time was shortened, the army must carry out intensive training. There is no rest, and there will be an additional two hours of rapid march at night.

Jia Lian said: "Those who can endure hardship, stay here, and those who can't endure hardship, leave now, I don't count you as deserters. But I promise, as long as you can stay, I will train you personally, so that you will become a deserter in five months. The mighty teacher that everyone envies, do you dare to stay and fight for it?"

As a result, everyone was willing to stay and accept Jia Lian's strong training. Jia Lian mixed the remaining 600 people with the original 200 people in the Pingzi camp, and then formed three battalions, appointing Tang Hui, Wu Yong, and Wang Lei as agents. Captain.

In order to prevent some people from falling behind and failing to successfully complete the recruit training subjects, Jia Lian divided the responsibilities into each corps, and each corps leader was responsible for the training of three recruits.

The corporal's duty is to teach them, encourage them, and help them successfully complete the training subjects.
