Winning every step of the Red Mansion

247

Just after the new year, Jia Amnesty was invited by Prince Zhong Jing.Now the loyal and respectful prince has a lot of things to do, and he is also in charge of the affairs of the court and China.Jia Amnesty also hadn't been to his residence for a long time.He went there on weekdays, but being invited to go today, Jia Amnesty always felt uneasy.Secretly thinking, I don't know what is going on this time?Is it because of Jia Lian's business?Or what happened in the mansion?Or Yuanchun's marriage?But you shouldn't ask yourself about Yuanchun's marriage!After much deliberation, Jia Amnesty couldn't think of any clue.Prince Zhongjing's mansion is not too far away, Jia She rode the horse all the way without thinking of why.After entering the mansion, he was led into the study by the housekeeper. This time, Prince Zhongjing was waiting for him early.When Jia Amnesty saw this, he was busy paying respects, and the prince was also kind. He gave him a seat, served tea, exchanged a few words of pleasantries, and Jia Amnesty waited for the prince to speak.

"Brother Enhou is invited to come here today, there is indeed something important to discuss." Prince Zhongjing began like this.When Jia Amnesty heard this, his heart sank, he was such a famous general, what important matters could he need to discuss with him?What's more, the prince said it was a negotiation, but in fact it's all finalized, so I'll just tell you politely.

Naturally, Jia Amnesty did not dare to express the resentment in his heart, he just lowered his eyebrows and said bluntly: "If you have something to say, just ask."

Prince Zhongjing said: "Enhou has a wide reputation now. Did Enhou know about the dispute in the court yesterday?"

After hearing this, Jia She's heart "thumped", and he came to whatever he was afraid of, why did the prince want to mention this matter to him at this time?Jia Amnesty couldn't tell Lin Ruhai that he knew about the matter in advance, but he couldn't pretend to be ignorant, so he could only answer vaguely: "My lord, did you say that there is a mess in the West Sea? This minister has heard about it before, but his ability is weak." Shallow, just feeling anxious."

After hearing this, Prince Zhongjing glanced at Jia Amnesty, saw him frowning, and said, "I remember the last time the West Sea was in chaos, it was because Enhou's mansion cut down on food and clothing and paid back the money owed to the household department, so the chaos was calmed down." Only when there is food and grass can victory be achieved.”

Jia Amnesty thought to himself, the last time was to show off his merits, so naturally he had to choose an opportunity to give charcoal in the snow.What's more, I really owed the Ministry of Households silver taels that time. Now that the situation is like this, at most I can donate some silver taels along with others.I also don't want to make the rafters of the head.Jia She said respectfully and respectfully: "Your Majesty's absurd praise, it's just the duty of a courtier. It's a debt, and it's easy to save it all, so naturally it should be returned. I never thought that I would get something like this. false name."

Jia Amnesty said this humbly, Prince Zhongjing smiled when he heard it, and with a wave of his hand, the several stewards who were originally standing in the study also went down.Seeing the prince like this, Jia She felt even more strange, why would the prince say something to himself today?Jia Amnesty was even more cautious.Although the two governments are close now, the prince is the prince after all, and now the prince is still in charge of the government, so naturally everything will not be considered only from the acquaintance of relatives.I have already had a quarrel with Prince Zhongshun, even though I am in the same boat as Prince Zhongjing's mansion, but I still have to be careful.Jia Amnesty lowered his head, waiting for the prince to continue.

Just listen to Prince Zhong Jing said: "Brother Enhou and I don't need to use these bureaucratic accents. I think you already know about this matter. There is no need for military preparations for the quelling of the chaos along the West Sea. Someone recommended Brother Enhou!"

After hearing this, Jia She secretly sighed inwardly.Sure enough, I invited myself today for this purpose.Not daring to see Prince Zhongjing speak out, Jia Amnesty let go of his hanging heart. Prince Zhongjing wants to be cautious and careful in doing things, so he naturally knows that he is not good at it.He hurriedly said: "My lord, you still don't know me? If it's about appreciating antiques and looking at calligraphy and paintings, I'm good at it, but this kind of important military affairs, my ministers can't do it. I have more heart than energy."

Prince Zhongjing laughed and said: "You don't have to be too modest, I see that you have managed your former Rongguo Mansion well, and you are considered one of the best in this capital. It would be a waste if you always idle in the mansion. "

Jia Amnesty's eyes widened when he heard this, what does it mean this time?Could it be that the loyal and respectful prince really wanted him to deal with this matter?But if the general errands are answered, it's fine, this is military preparations, if something goes wrong, let alone being punished, I am afraid that my life will be in danger.Jia She shook his head again and again and said, "My lord, my lord, I don't have any experience in preparing military supplies, and I don't have this actual job in the army. Even if I accept this job, how can anyone listen to me? Besides, this matter is very important, so I dare not delay it for half a minute." .I also ask the prince to forgive me for not being able to take on this important task."

Prince Zhongjing said with a smile: "Brother Enhou said yes, but it's a pity..." Prince Zhongjing shook his head after speaking.Seeing the prince like this, Jia She asked anxiously in his heart: "What does the prince mean? Is this a pity?" The prince Zhongjing answered, "It's a pity that Zhu's approval has been made, and there should be no change." Jia She heard this. , almost collapsed on the chair, I didn't know what to do, but couldn't help thinking, why couldn't I live a peaceful life for two days?This god is too unfair.

Prince Zhongjing saw that this was the case, so he didn't say anything, and waited for a while and said: "You are familiar with me, and this matter is not necessarily a bad thing in my opinion. Now that your family is famous but has no position, I'm afraid it won't last long. If you do this well and have made achievements, you can also entrust important tasks in the future."

Jia Amnesty was in a state of confusion. He couldn't listen to the words of Lord Zhongjing, so he suppressed his anger and said, "Your Majesty, there is still the word "Loyalty" in the handwritten letter given by the Holy Majesty, and I will always keep it in my heart." Don't dare to slack off in the slightest, but this matter is not what this minister is good at. How about this, my lord, can you see if it is possible for this minister to donate all of my one-year salary for military supplies!" Jia She glanced Zhong Jing Wangye's expression, seeing that he was unmoved, hurriedly said: "One year is still a little less, how about three years?"

As soon as this remark came out, Lord Zhongjing smiled and said: "You are quite generous. Last time I paid back hundreds of thousands of owed silver, and this time I donated three years of salary. I know that your family has a lot of wealth, and it is short of these three years." Salary is not a big deal either. It's just that from now on, you will donate your salary for three years whenever there is something in the court?" Jia Amnesty was startled when he heard that, what Prince Zhongjing said was also true, and he couldn't just make such a mouthful, or else he would make a fool of himself. If you don't donate for the first time, you will be criticized by others.It's just that I really can't do this myself, if I can do it, I will naturally do it.

Jia She thought about it: "What the prince said is very true, and I didn't mean to shirk it. It's just that I don't know what to do. If I become this military preparation, won't I be deceived by others?"

Prince Zhongjing smiled and said: "You have hit the point. What I want is that you are deceived. I have sent someone to investigate, and there are bandits on the West Coast, but it is not like last time. Rampant, but it’s just some remnant soldiers and defeated generals, and it didn’t make a big deal. The local self should have been wiped out. I’m also curious why this mansion report and report book were written with such a great momentum.”

Jia Amnesty was startled when he heard this, looked at the prince and asked, "What does the prince mean?"

Prince Zhong Jing said again: "Aren't you curious, why did you recommend you to do this? Don't you wonder who is helping behind the scenes? And this million-dollar army is going to be mobilized for a few small thieves?" Jia She frowned. After thinking about it, I am really not interested in mobilizing millions of troops, but I hate this person who recommended and contributed to the flames.But I can also guess seven or eight points, at least Prince Zhongshun must have a role in it.

Seeing that he didn't speak, Prince Zhongjing went on to say: "I know that your mansion has been involved with Prince Zhongshun's mansion these past few months, but he is only the main force in this matter. Do you know that your brother and my in-laws are also here to recommend you?" Signed on the booklet?"

If it is said that Jia Amnesty is not doing much just now, after hearing what Prince Zhongjing said, his eyes are straightened.I never thought that this would happen?Seeing that he didn't believe it, Prince Zhongjing took the booklet from the table and handed it to Jia She said, "You can see for yourself." signature.Not only that, there is Jia Zhen's name a few lines away.At this moment, Jia Amnesty felt that what was surging in his chest was not blood, but a bone-chilling chill.

"It seems that you really don't know about this!" Prince Zhongjing shook his head, and stretched out his hand to pull out the folder in Jia Amnesty's hand. "This is a copy that was reported to the Holy Majesty, and the Holy Majesty has also read it. You don't have to guess whether someone is counterfeiting. Now I think you might as well accept this job. Anyway, you and I are familiar with each other now, so I will help you naturally. You see how?"

Jia Amnesty nodded, with a hint of determination in his eyes.Lord Zhongjing nodded, walked a few steps to Jia She and lowered his voice, "It's not as good as tomorrow, we are like this..." Jia She heard that the expression on his face was quite complicated, and after a long time after Lord Zhongjing finished speaking, Jia She nodded Said: "Just follow the prince's arrangement."

Prince Zhongjing nodded, and after a moment of silence, he asked again: "If the matter is successful, what can you ask for?"

Jia Amnesty thought for a while and said, "I have two matters. First, the son of a dog is going to marry the princess. This mansion is small, and I don't like the choice of a few places. Now I'm just worried. If my brother is transferred..." Jia Amnesty finished speaking halfway, and looked at the prince.Lord Zhongjing said: "I think Ganshan seems to be short of Xuezheng, what do you think? It will be another term every three or four years, and there must be another vacancy in the other side."

Jia Amnesty nodded, and said: "My lord also knows that the two princes of Rongning and Ning in our mansion were originally of the same line, but now I am the third generation in my life. In a blink of an eye, the princess will also enter the mansion, and there are many people. Such a division of clans It's not easy."

Prince Zhongjing nodded after hearing this: "I know about this." Jia She didn't say anything more, the two talked for a while, and Jia She left and returned home.As soon as I went back to my study and sat down, someone in charge came to report that it was Jia Zheng who came to see me.Jia She said with a sneer in his heart, "It's so good, I won't have to look for him myself."
