The Red Chamber: The Rise of the Shuzi

Chapter 271
Shenjing Xicheng District, Zhaowuhou Mansion.

Under the guidance of the young servant, Emperor Hongde and Lin Ruhai went straight to the Martial Arts Field in the Hou Mansion.

a while.

Passing through a moon gate, Emperor Hongde and Lin Ruhai saw Jia Jing, who was "sick" at home, dancing the horse-cutting long knife in his hand into a silver scorching knife net.

The howling sound of sharp blades piercing through the air resounded throughout the martial arts arena.

"Your Majesty, this..."

Lin Ruhai glanced back at the two imperial physicians accompanying him, and then at Emperor Hongde next to him, with the word "embarrassed" written on his face.

Opening his mouth, Lin Ruhai didn't know what to say.

Hongde Emperor Yang Chong was quite reasonable, "It's normal for Marquis Zhaowu to be angry, I can understand it!"

"Your Majesty is merciful!"

Seeing this, Lin Ruhai had no choice but to look relieved, and hastened to compliment her.

It's just that the worry in Lin Ruhai's heart has not only not diminished, but has increased more and more.

Yang Chong is an emperor!
This reason alone is enough.

When the emperor, there are not many people who can be broad-minded!
Especially the emperors of Lao Yang's family are famous for their narrow-mindedness.

How could Lin Ruhai not be worried? !

You know, a few days ago, Jia Jing threw her face at this one in front of many ministers in the hall.

With Emperor Hongde's magnanimity, that is to say, he still has to rely on Jia Jing now, which is why he has the current kindness and apology.

but!

Even if he won't trouble Jia Jing for the time being, Jia Jing must have been recorded in his little book by Emperor Hongde.

It's like a sword of Damocles hanging over your head.

Sharp and unmatched!
Maybe one day in the future, when Emperor Hongde thinks about this matter again, it will definitely be the time to bring up the old matter again and settle the old accounts!
There are not too many records in the history books like this kind of case where the emperor turned over the small book afterwards.

Of course,
Someone like Jia Jing who dared to face the emperor face to face is really rare even in the history books!

After all, there is a system, and you are born willful!
……

After a while.

The roar of the sword in the martial arts field came to an abrupt end!

But Jia Jing has already exhausted his sword.

Looking at Jia Jing who was standing tall, Emperor Hongde hurriedly stepped forward.

"Good swordsmanship!"

Emperor Hongde clapped his hands and praised, with a bright smile on his face, "Jia Aiqing, I came here today to apologize to you for coming. Don't take it to heart if I said something wrong that day!"

"..."

Hearing Emperor Hongde's words, Jia Jing's heart moved, did she really take the initiative to compensate herself? !

Looking at Emperor Hongde who was dressed in casual clothes, Jia Jing's vigilance was immediately raised.

As the king of a country, but now he can let go of his face and come to make amends for himself...

Is this still the arrogant and lofty Emperor Hongde?

It has to be said that based on this alone, Emperor Hongde has gradually become a qualified politician!

In the face of such a virtuous corporal, if Jia Jing didn't want to have a complete quarrel with Emperor Hongde now, then he really had to continue.

And on the surface, it has to be a touched face!

Jia Jing was not going to completely turn against Emperor Hongde.

In other words, at this point in time, Jia Jing can't fall out with Emperor Hongde for the time being!
then,

After some deliberate hypocrisy, Emperor Hongde and Jia Jing had a good time.

Hearty laughter echoed in the arena.

After some greetings from Emperor Hongde, Jia Jing's "illness" has naturally improved greatly, and he has even been able to prepare military affairs at the request of Emperor Hongde, and is ready to meet the two routes to Jiangxi and Fujian to counter the rebellion. army.

……

Emperor Hongde stayed at Jia Jing's mansion until the sun went down, and then he got up and went back to the palace.

On the soft sedan.

Emperor Hongde closed his eyes, leaning against the wall of the sedan chair behind him, without any expression on his face.

After a long time, Emperor Hongde let out a long breath.

"The emperor went to apologize to his courtiers, and I can be regarded as the first of the Great Zhou!"

eyes open,

In the faint bloodshot eyes, there is a trace of coldness mixed in.

…………

Zhaowuhou Mansion.

Jia Jing watched as Emperor Hongde's sedan chair gradually went away, and then she put back the false smile on her face, and lost the slightest expression before!

"Although His Majesty came here to apologize to you just now, you should know it in your heart!"

Next to it, Lin Ruhai explained the twists and turns to Jia Jing in a low voice, "We must carefully consider the pros and cons of the trade-offs!"

Jia Jing nodded, laughed, and said, "Father-in-law, don't worry, my son-in-law knows what's in his heart, and he will save you!"

"You're good to know what you have in mind."

Lin Ruhai nodded in satisfaction, "Forget it, it's getting late, and I have to go back."

"Father-in-law, why don't you leave after dinner?" Jia Jing asked to stay.

"No, you can just eat it yourself. My family has something urgent to deal with, so don't delay!"

After finishing speaking, Lin Ruhai left in a hurry.

………………

Fujian Yanping Fucheng.

About two miles away from the city wall, there was a patch of tents of various kinds.

It was almost morning.

A group of rebels in Zhajia yelled and shouted in unison, scaring Yanping's defense at the top of the city into panic.

I'm afraid that the group of rebels below will directly attack the city.

In the distance, in the big tent of the rebels.

A man with dark complexion and calloused hands looked puzzled at Yanping Fucheng, which had been surrounded for half a month.

"The defense of Yanping is a softie at all," the man said dissatisfied, "With such a soft-footed shrimp defending the city, if we had started attacking before, Yanping City would have already fallen into our hands by this time!"

"Wang Zhong, you have to remember why the clan sent you here!"

At the top of the big tent, sat a gorgeously dressed young master.

"If the clan wants to seize the city, the prefecture full of loopholes like this can be taken in half a day! Why wait until today?"

At this time, the son-in-law looked at the anti-thief leader Wang Zhong with a serious face.

"What we want is to show Da Zhou the fangs and muscles of our family, so that the old emperor knows that our family is not something he can handle casually!
Such a siege without attacking can not only attract the attention of the court, so that the emperor and the elders can't take care of targeting the clan, but also drag down the enemies in the city. When the time comes to attack the city, there will naturally be fewer casualties! "

The anti-thief leader named Wang Zhong scratched his head vigorously when he heard this, "Anyway, I don't know much about it. The clan sent you here anyway, so I just follow your command! But there is one thing..."

Having said that, Wang Zhong's expression became serious.

"I promised those brothers in the mine that I would find a way out for them...!"

"Too much nonsense!"

Brother Young Master's face was already a little impatient, "Having these young men in my hands will increase our right to speak in the clan, and I won't be so stupid as to waste them in vain!"

Wang Zhong nodded, "I'm relieved!"
