The Red Chamber: The Rise of the Shuzi

Chapter 90 Giving Habayashi Weibei a Marriage

After a while.

The Supreme Emperor said again: "Marquis Zhaowu will go and talk to the Emperor about this matter. Since I have entrusted the country to him, I will also entrust this matter to him!"

This is to hand over the matter to Emperor Hongde to handle it with full authority?
If he didn't know the physical condition of the Taishanghuang, Jia Jing would only think that the Taishanghuang was too lazy to deal with the matter, so he pushed it to Emperor Hongde.

But combined with the Taishanghuang's physical condition, everything is not that simple...

Is this the rhythm of the Supreme Emperor completely delegating power and retiring?
Thinking of the deep meaning, Jia Jing's heart couldn't help jumping hard!
Above, the Supreme Emperor coughed twice again, looking at Jia Jing, "Besides, Ai Qing has no soldiers available at the moment, so she took the position of Habayashi Guard first, so as to defend the imperial city of Shenjing!"

Jia Jing was a little taken aback when he heard the words, but soon, he thought that he was ordered to temporarily hand over the military power of Zhenwei, Guoyong, and Ganyong battalions. So, this is the Supreme Emperor's compensation for himself?
Or, what was expected?
Defending Shenjing Imperial City?

The Supreme Emperor didn't give Jia Jing time to think deeply, and ordered Dai Quan, who was beside him, to deliver the soldier talisman to Jia Jing, and then issued an order to drive away the guests: "Jia Aiqing, step down!"

"Your Majesty, minister, leave!"

Jia Jing got up, took the military talisman from Dai Quan, saluted respectfully, turned and left the Dragon Head Palace.

"Marquis Zhaowu, don't let me down!"

Behind him, in the Longshou Palace whose gate was quickly closed, the voice of the Supreme Emperor came faintly.

Hearing this, Jia Jing's footsteps couldn't help but pause, and regardless of whether the Supreme Emperor heard it or not, he still respectfully said: "I will live up to your majesty's expectations!"

……

After Jia Jing left, the Taishanghuang's uncontrollable cough suddenly sounded in Longshou Palace.

Intense, continuous, heart-piercing...

The coughing sound that should have been blocked in the hall and could not be heard at all fell into Jia Jing's ears at this moment.

There is no doubt about it!
Jia Jing was absolutely certain that there was something wrong with the Taishanghuang's body!
"It should have been prevented earlier..."

With a silent sentence in mind, Jia Jing followed the little eunuch sent by Longshou Palace to the Hall of Mental Cultivation where Emperor Hongde reviewed the memorials.

……

Hall of Mental Cultivation.

Emperor Hongde was buried in piles of memorials, so busy that he didn't even have the time to raise his head.

Seeing this, Jia Jing also had to sigh with emotion, the hard work of being an emperor.

Ming emperors and lords are all exhausted to death, no wonder so many emperors choose to be a foolish emperor!
As the lord of a country, it is really impossible without great perseverance to give up the heavenly days of lying down and choose the perennial [-] blessings!

"Chen Jiajing, see Your Majesty!"

"Jia Qing is here, wait a moment, wait until I finish reading this brochure!"

Without raising his head, Emperor Hongde ordered: "Qiu Banban, go and bring a stool for Marquis Zhaowu!"

"Yes!"

Jia Jing sat on the brocade stool, waiting motionlessly.

After a while, Emperor Hongde picked up the vermilion brush on hand, wrote and drew on the memorial, and then put it in the corner of the imperial case.

There, there are already twenty or thirty booklets piled up.

Rubbing his temples with his eyes closed, Emperor Hongde asked, "What is Jia Aiqing doing here today?"

Jia Jing said in a respectful voice: "I just came from Longshou Palace. Because it is related to the old affairs of the year, I have to ask the Supreme Emperor. This time I came to find His Majesty. First, the Supreme Emperor has something to say, and the matter is left to His Majesty to decide; second, the father of the humble minister. It is also implicated, and I hope His Majesty will show mercy."

"What happened back then?" Emperor Hongde opened his eyes, a gleam of coldness flashed in his eyes, "Does Jia Aiqing know what she is talking about?"

Jia Jing got up, bowed first, and then replied: "I dare not speak nonsense!"

"..."

Emperor Hongde frowned, subconsciously turned the finger in his hand, and fell into deep thought.

Jia Jing stood in the hall without making a sound.

a long time.

Emperor Hongde said: "Jia Aiqing is dedicated to the country, upright and upright, I am very relieved!"

After a pause, Emperor Hongde looked at Jia Jing who was standing bowed below again, "As for Aiqing's father, he must have been deceived by thieves. As long as he doesn't do anything wrong, I will naturally not pursue it!"

Jia Jing bowed again, "On behalf of my father, I thank Your Majesty Long En!"

……

After Jia Jing left, Emperor Hongde was silent for a while on the dragon chair.

"Did the Supreme Emperor give Habayashi Wei's soldier talisman to him?" Emperor Hongde suddenly asked.

Next to him, Qiu Shi'an hurried forward and replied: "Yes, Your Majesty, the Supreme Emperor said that Master Jia Hou didn't have any soldiers under his command, so he sent Habayashi Weixian to him."

"The two guards on the left and right, the Habayashi Army, one-sixth of the emperor's personal soldiers, the Supreme Emperor trusts him!"

As he spoke, Emperor Hongde's gaze fell on Jin Yiwei Mi Zhe in front of him.

Spread it out, what is written inside is the big and small things of Jia Jing's three residences in recent days, among which is the handwriting of a mysterious person who is suspected of being accompanied by the deposed prince who appeared in Jia She's study.

"However, Marquis Zhaowu is honest!" Thinking of Jia Jing's honesty, Emperor Hongde was very satisfied, and at the same time made up his mind secretly.

"Tell Fangzheng, focus more on other places, those remnants have already jumped on my desk, can't you catch them? I know all day long about suing this and that, when will I catch a few positive ones?" host?!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Hearing the dissatisfaction with Fang Zheng in Emperor Hongde's tone, Qiu Shi'an couldn't help but smile.

Wanting to compete with him for favor in front of Emperor Hongde, he Fangzheng is still a little bit close!
"The Supreme Emperor trusts him so much that he even gave one-sixth of the emperor's personal guards, why would I dare not?"

In the Hall of Mental Cultivation, Emperor Hongde muttered to himself...

………………

The thirteenth day of the third lunar month.

Jia Jing returned to the Hou Mansion from Habayashi Guard's camp, but was startled.

Inside the Hou's Mansion, the decorations are now bright red everywhere, even the trees are tied with red silk.

At this moment, Hu Po is leading a group of maids to tidy up the courtyard to the east of the main hall.

Above the gate of the courtyard, two red lanterns with the word "囍" written on them had already been hung up.

Calling Amber over, Jia Jing pointed to the two big red lanterns and asked, "Isn't the date of marriage fixed on March [-]? It's only thirteen today, so you started hanging the lanterns so early?"

Hearing this, Hu Po laughed and said, "My Lord Marquis, you also said that today is already thirteen, it's getting late!
In the past few days, the old lady has urged me countless times. If she doesn't get ready, the old lady will probably take Master Hou to question her! "

After a pause, Amber continued: "Your Majesty is getting married, we have to clean up the whole Hou Mansion carefully inside and out, and decorate it with red silk. It takes a lot of money to paste the words and cut paper." Great effort!

If you don't make it earlier, it may be too late to check for omissions and make up for the vacancies in the future! "

"Forget it, let's do it like this..."

Listed one by one, it was the first time for Jia Jing and the two to get married, and they were very interested, but now they are also a little dizzy.

Immediately, Jia Jing planned to sit in the study for a while.

But after finally waiting for Jia Jing to return home, Hu Po refused to let Jia Jing go just like that.

He hurried forward two steps, stopped Jia Jing's footsteps and said: "Master Hou, don't go now, there is still something to do!"

When Jia Jing heard this, she suddenly felt dizzy, and said: "Just look at it yourself and take care of it. If there is something missing, you can go to the library to get it with my brand!"

"It's not about this," Hu Po hurriedly said, "It was the old lady who notified you that your wedding dress, Lord Hou, has arrived, and you should try it out as soon as possible to see if it fits you well, so that you can make changes if there are any inappropriate parts."
