Red House Shoufu

Chapter 186

Zhao Xilai reorganized the troops under his command, nearly 2000 people were killed or injured, and he didn't even touch the clothes corners of the officers and soldiers on the city wall, which made him feel very humiliated.

Especially Wan Zhongyuan's expression that seemed to be a smile but not a smile made him become angry from embarrassment: "A bunch of trash!"

"As the saying goes, go all out, then go down, and three times. Since we can't take the city in one go, let's suspend the siege, take a good rest today, and continue to attack the city tomorrow morning. Besides, the brothers of the Holy Cult Teacher Lao is going on an expedition, but the dog officer is waiting for his work at leisure, so it is not appropriate to fight again at this time!"

The person next to him was dressed in a Confucian uniform, like a scholar.Wan Zhongyuan knew his details very well.

This person is called Niu Xing, and he was originally a troupe leader of a small opera troupe. He probably sang a lot of opera, holding a feather fan, and wearing a Confucian robe, he thought he was Zhuge Kongming.

But this person used to lead people around to sing operas, his knowledge is better than many people, and he can read a few words, so he is still highly regarded by Zhao Xilai.

Sure enough, after Niu Xing said this, Zhao Xilai seemed to agree with what Niu Xing said, and seemed to have found a step, and immediately ordered everyone to set up camp and bury the pot for cooking.

Yang Shouyuan on the top of the city couldn't believe his eyes. He took out his binoculars to check again and again, and laughed dumbfounded.

"My lord, this is the most inexplicable battle that the last general has fought since he joined the army!"

He handed the binoculars to Lin Shu: "They actually stopped attacking the city just like that, and started cooking."

Lin Shu took over the binoculars, and the mound on the opposite side was indeed full of dust. Those who set up tents, put up wooden stakes, and packed up cooking utensils for cooking were busy.

"It seems that these thieves don't know what it means to fight at all. Deputy General Yang, I will leave this place to you for the time being. I will go back to the government office first, and the problem of food and grass should be solved!"

Yang Shouyuan patted his chest as a pledge, Lin Shu patted him on the shoulder, and led several guards down the city wall.

……

Just after noon, it was the hottest time in Beijing.

A carriage embroidered with the emblem of the Rongguo Mansion stopped at the gate of the imperial city. Jia Amnesty got out of the carriage first, and the captain who guarded the gate immediately went up to meet him.

"The last general greets uncle!"

Jia Amnesty patted the armor on the captain's chest, and said heartily, "Li San'er, you are on duty today, thank you for your hard work!"

"Uncle was joking, it is the honor of the last general to be loyal to His Majesty!"

Li San bowed his hands to the sky, and asked: "Uncle, what's the matter here?"

Jia Amnesty pointed at the carriage and replied numbly: "The old lady is in the carriage... Alas, she remembered some past events today and wants to see His Majesty!"

"Oh, it turned out to be Mrs. Rong Guo, her old man!"

Li San hurriedly ran to the side of the carriage, and with a bang, he made a military salute: "Li San, the last general of the Dragon Guard, pays his respects to Mrs. Tai!"

The curtains of the carriage were lifted, and Jia Shishi smiled kindly at Li San: "Lieutenant Li, you are so polite, I have something to tell your majesty, please trouble Li Xiaowei to report it."

"Madam Tai, wait a moment, I will send someone to report this at the end!"

……

When Xia Shouzhong came over in person, the carriage of Rongguo Mansion passed through the palace gate and headed for Qinzheng Hall.

"Uncle, Mrs. Tai, this is..." Xia Shouzhong looked at Jia She suspiciously. This Jia Shi family usually went to the palace to see the virtuous concubine Jia Yuanchun, why did he suddenly want to see the emperor today.

Jia She whispered a few words beside him, and Xia Shouzhong's pupils dilated instantly.

"Grandpa Xia, your Majesty's side... I will trouble you later!"

Following Jia Amnesty's words, a bank note was quietly put into Xia Shouzhong's sleeve.

The carriage stopped in front of the Palace of Qinzheng, Jia Shishi got out of the carriage with the support of Jia Amnesty, straightened his robes, and walked slowly to the entrance of the main hall.

After all, she is Jia Daishan's married wife, and the grace that should be given still has to be given.After the report, Jia Shishi and Jia She were welcomed in, the emperor stepped down from the throne, and stopped before Jia Shishi saluted: "Mrs. Tai is ashamed of me, of course Mr. Rong also taught me how to ride and shoot." , can be regarded as half of my master. Companion, quickly move the chair over..."

Jia Shishi thanked him and sat on a chair supported by Jia Amnesty.She handed the box that she had been holding in her arms to Xia Shouzhong: "The minister's wife is here today because she has an old matter to report to His Majesty."

The emperor had just returned to the throne and sat down. After Xia Shouzhong opened the box, he placed two items on the dragon table.

Whoa!
The emperor who had just sat down stood up in shock, not to mention the handwriting on the brocade, just the piece of pink warm jade was enough to shock him.

He picked up the warm jade and took a closer look, and sure enough there was a word Hui engraved on it.

"This is Empress Hui's jade pendant. I have heard about Empress Hui from Lantian with an ordinary family. When she entered the palace, she only had a piece of hibiscus warm jade that her mother had worn for a long time. When Empress Hui became pregnant, Emperor Father She once wanted to give her a piece of beautiful jade, but Hui Niangniang said that her mother would favor her daughter, and she would be by her side that day. So the royal family enshrined her title on the warm jade, Hui!"

The emperor picked up the light yellow brocade again, the handwriting on it was a little messy, and it could be seen that the person who wrote it was a little anxious.After he finished reading the above content, anger filled his chest.

He picked up the warm jade next to him, and Xia Shouzhong reminded him in a low voice: "My lord, this is that piece of jade..."

The emperor who came back to his senses glared at Xia Shouzhong, calmed down his anger a bit, and asked, "Mrs. Tai, why are these two things in Rongguo Mansion? What happened back then?"

Jia Shishi sighed, and slowly explained the whole story: "It was the 13th year of Longsheng, the year when Wala invaded the south, and the sage led the army to conquer the north..."

It turned out that Jia Daishan went to the desert with the Supreme Emperor that year, and Jia Shishi followed Jia Daishan's instructions and kept guarding the door.

But one night at the beginning of August, the nanny who used to serve Concubine Hui was suddenly brought in by the soldiers Jia Daishan left behind to guard the mansion.

At that time, the nun was seriously injured and had already run out of fuel.It is said that Concubine Hui was poisoned by Zhen Guiren, and it is already beyond the immortals.She tried her best to give birth to a baby boy, and secretly sent it to Wan Guiren, who was a close friend on weekdays.

As for these two items, they were originally sent to his hometown in Lantian County, but the Zhen family didn't want to leave any clues behind them.Of the people who escaped from the concubine Hui's palace, in the end, only this old nanny was left.

By coincidence, she hid near the Rongguo Mansion on Ningrong Street. The people of the Zhen family did not dare to get close to the prestigious Jia family, so they could only leave in resentment.

On the second day, news came from the palace that Concubine Hui, who was deeply favored by the Supreme Emperor, gave birth to a stillborn baby, and Wan Gui, who was tepid, gave birth to a prince.

According to the old mother and the description on the brocade, the prince born to Concubine Hui has a red circular birthmark on his back, which is very recognizable.

And Zhongshun Wang Gao Yongheng basically grew up behind the emperor's ass when he was young, and Gao Yongheng also had a red circular birthmark on his back, which matched.

Jia Shishi sighed and said: "Back then, Empress Hui and Empress Zhen were both favored in the palace. The sage once said that whoever gave birth to the prince first would be promoted to the concubine. And at that time, the Zhen family was planning to seek the position of president of Jinling Tirenyuan. ..."

　Tomorrow morning I have to get up early to go to the meeting, so I won’t stay up late tonight, and the owed chapters will be paid back tomorrow night...

　　Good night, folks!
