The famous book tour starting from the Red House

Chapter 170 Surprise and Joy

But Mu Xu persuaded, "One moment, another moment. I think even if the crime of the Zhen family is punished now, the Supreme Emperor can understand His Majesty. Does Your Majesty think that a small Zhen family is more important than Jiangshan in the Supreme Emperor's heart? ? The south of the Yangtze River is a place where the imperial court pays a lot of taxes. Once there is chaos there, the consequences will be disastrous."

After hearing Mu Xu's words, Tu Zhen was silent for a long time, and finally made up his mind, "Since this is the case, let's do this. I will immediately order to Jinling to let Feng Han and Xiu Yiwei cooperate to take down the Zhen family and punish them."

"Your Majesty, this matter must be done in secret. There is still Concubine Zhen in the palace. She has been operating in the palace for a long time, and she may have a lot of eyeliners. It is absolutely impossible to let the wind leak."

Tu Zhen laughed and said, "My cousin is right, but it's not difficult to deal with her. I think as long as the emperor's grandmother is allowed to step in, even a little Concubine Zhen can't make waves."

Mu Xu still agrees with Tu Zhen's words. After all, the person who knows you best is often your enemy. The Empress Dowager and Concubine Zhen have been fighting for so long, so they must know her methods very well.Now that Tu Zhen had made up his mind, Mu Xu didn't say anything more, and left the palace right away.

Sure enough, in the next two days, rumors spread in the palace that Concubine Zhen was ill. Most people who heard the news didn't take it seriously, until the news of Jinling came, and these people suddenly realized.

The fact that the Zhen family was ransacked and questioned caused an uproar in Beijing, because when the Supreme Emperor was alive, the Zhen family was the local emperor of Jinling, and many ministers wrote to impeach the Zhen family, but in the end it was all over. It has been a long time Everyone also knew the status of the Zhen family in the heart of the Supreme Emperor, and gradually no one dared to be so ignorant.

Now, not long after the supreme emperor passed away, the Zhen family was locked up and taken to Beijing. This made all the ministers of civil and military affairs not only lamented that "one emperor, one courtier", they also had a new understanding of the new emperor, and many people put away the new emperor. Other thoughts, this is a surprise for Tu Zhen.

Among the dignitaries in the capital, the Lin family and the Jia family were the ones who reacted the most to the Zhen family being copied.Lin Ruhai was ecstatic, and invited Mu Xu and his wife to come to the mansion and get drunk with him. He said that God knows how to avenge Jia Min and his son.After many years of heart knots, he suddenly fell ill, which frightened Daiyu a lot. When he got the imperial doctor to take a look, he realized that he collapsed too tightly before, and now that his worries have gone, Under great joy and great sorrow, he naturally fell ill.

Fortunately, I learned from the imperial doctor that his problem is not serious, but a blessing in disguise. If he has been depressed like before, it may endanger his lifespan. Now he can resolve it in advance, as long as he cultivates for a while , you can get rid of the root cause.

After hearing the imperial doctor's explanation, Daiyu was relieved, but she still couldn't be completely relieved. She insisted on staying at her mother's house to take care of her father for a period of time. Still nodded in agreement.

If the Lin family was surprised, then the Jia family was shocked. It is well known that the Jia family and the Zhen family have always been in close contact. In addition to Jia Yuanchun's incident, Concubine Zhen was among them.So when Jia Zheng was in the Ministry of Industry, when he heard about the Zhen family from his colleagues, he was so shocked that he even forgot to ask for leave, so he went back to the house and reported the matter to Jia Mu.

Mother Jia couldn't help panicking when she heard this, mother and son discussed for a long time but couldn't come up with a reason. Said that at the critical moment, I couldn't come up with a useful idea.

She had no choice but to send Jia Zheng away first, and then ordered Yuanyang to find Jia Lian.Seeing Jia Lian, she asked kindly, "Lian'er, do you know about the Zhen family?"

Jia Lian has been an official for a long time now, so he is quite wealthy. When Jia Mu asked this question, he didn't know what she meant. He knew everything about the second room, so he said perfunctorily, "Return to the old lady's words, I just heard about it yesterday."

Seeing that she couldn't get his words out, Jia's mother had no choice but to cut straight to the point and ask, "Then you didn't find out why their house was raided, and would it implicate others?"

"I really don't know about this. After all, it happened so suddenly that I haven't had time to find out."

Jia's mother looked at Jia Lian for a long time, and found that his face was as usual, and he didn't look like he was telling a lie, so she sighed, "Oh, you also know that our family and the Zhen family are family friends. Our family, so the old lady wants you to ask someone to find out why the imperial court copied the Zhen family?"

Jia Lian wanted to evade, but seeing Jia Mu looking at him with piercing eyes, after all his years of power, he still didn't say the word of refusal, so he had to reluctantly agree.

After he returned to his room, the more he thought about it, the more he felt aggrieved. He couldn't help but picked up the teacup and threw it on the ground, scaring Wang Xifeng who was reconciling the accounts so much that he even dropped the account book on the ground.

She was furious immediately, "Why are you so crazy?"

Jia Lian complained, "It's not the old lady's fault, she only has the second bedroom family in her heart, and she still wants to fool me at this time!"

When Wang Xifeng heard the words, he couldn't care less about getting angry, and hurriedly asked him what happened.Jia Lian didn't hide anything, so he told why Jia's mother had just found him, and then talked about the previous activities of the second room and the Zhen family, and finally said bitterly,

"Don't you think the old lady treats me as a fool? She clearly knows the inside story, but she keeps pretending to be thinking about our family. If I don't know the reason and go to inquire about it, I will let the emperor find out afterwards. Didn't you think that our eldest room was also involved in the matter of big sister Yuanchun? Tell me, if the court settles it in the future, can we have ours?"

"How can this old lady be like this, is she willing to let the second room drag our first room into the water?" Wang Xifeng also condemned Jia Mu with righteous indignation.

Jia Lian said with a sneer, "I can understand what dragged it down. If possible, the old lady would even wish for us to take the blame for the second house."

"Then how are you going to return to the old lady?"

"Hmph, I'll tell her tomorrow that the imperial court raided the Zhen family because of their deficit. As for the old lady's belief, I don't care. Who let them have ghosts in their hearts!"

After hearing Jia Lian's words, Wang Xifeng was still a little worried, "Although our two families have separated in private, we are still a family in the eyes of outsiders. Do you think the emperor will implicate us?"

"This... I'm afraid it's really possible." Jia Lian thought about it for a while, and felt that what Wang Xifeng said was not unreasonable. After all, if the second wife was involved in a major treason case, then according to the court's regulations, the nine clans would all be punished. Yes, not to mention that they are brothers in the next room.Thinking of this, he thought about Wang Ziteng again, and couldn't help but look at Sister Feng. Sister Feng was still Wang Ziteng's niece.

He sighed inwardly, what is all this? Why is it that none of his relatives are worry-free.Wang Xifeng saw that the expression on Jia Lian's face was changing, and his heart began to fluctuate, so he couldn't help saying hesitantly,
"Should we ask brother-in-law Lin? With his dignity in front of the emperor, as long as he is willing to guarantee us, no matter how serious it is, our family can stay out of it."

"Now it's the only way to do it. I was told about the second bedroom before. I think he won't leave nothing to chance." Jia Lian agreed with Wang Xifeng's statement, and then he remembered that when Mu Xu came from the house last time, it seemed that He liked Sister Qiao very much, so he told Wang Xifeng, "You and I will go to Dongping Palace with me tomorrow, and bring Sister Qiao with me by the way."

Wang Xifeng is such a clever person, she understood Jia Lian's intentions as soon as she turned her eyes, she agreed with her whole mouth, and immediately made up her mind, planning to teach sister Qiao in a while, so that she will be sweeter tomorrow to please her. People like it.

The next day, Jia Lian and his wife brought their daughter to Dongping Palace, Wang Xifeng took her daughter to the back house, and Jia Lian visited Mu Xu in the front yard.

After hearing Jia Lian talk about his family's difficulties, Mu Xu comforted him with a smile, "What did I think, don't worry, I have already informed His Majesty about these matters, and I won't affect your family."

With Mu Xu's guarantee, Jia Lian no longer worried, so he flattered Mu Xu without any trace, and the two of them had a good time together.

　Please give me some advice, should we speed up the process and finish the Red Mansion?There are too many tragedies in the Red Mansion. My original intention of writing the Red Mansion was to change everyone’s ending, but as I wrote it, I found that some people are really hard to change. They were not born in Jia’s family, and many people didn’t get into it at all. To put it bluntly, the plot seems too abrupt.
