Sword of the Red Chamber from Heaven

Chapter 113 A letter, the movement of the two saints

"Master Hou, someone sent something over!"

As soon as Jia Gong returned to the mansion and sat down, he listened to Yang Liben's report.

It was a package wrapped in silk and satin. Jia Jun was stunned. He didn't know many people in the capital. Who would deliver it at this time?

Niu Tiande and Liu Quande are two old fellows who are as cunning as foxes, and there should be no movement before they come to the door.

Others probably didn't give this thing away. After thinking about it, Jia Gong waved his hand and said in a deep voice, "Open it!"

On the side, Yang Liben was ordered to open it, but saw a letter in an exquisite wooden box. Seeing the letter, Yang Liben was slightly taken aback. There was no signature on the envelope, so he looked again. In this exquisite box, apart from this There was nothing else left in the letter, so he checked it twice and found that there was nothing left, so he held the letter in his hands and handed it to Jia Gong.

Jia Gong was also watching from the side. Seeing this situation, he frowned slightly. It was the first time he saw such a situation. There was only one letter in such an exquisite wooden box. If there is a problem, then there is something wrong with the letter.

He first checked the letter itself, it was not poisoned, and then he looked at the contents of the letter.

There is a very eye-catching sentence at the beginning of the chapter, "A gentleman does not fight, a group does not party!"

This is a sentence from the Analects, to the effect that a gentleman is reserved and dignified and does not argue with others;

There are only three words to sum it up in the vernacular, "no party struggle."

Subconsciously, Jia Gong thought that it was sent to him by Emperor Mingkang or Emperor Taikang, but what he said later made his expression quite strange.

It is about the disputes between the court and the court, and the forces are mixed. There is a struggle between Emperor Taikang and Emperor Mingkang, and there is a battle between civil servants and martial arts. It also mentions several princes of Emperor Mingkang. The water is very deep, so don't stand in line at will, otherwise you will face disaster.

In the end, anyway, he was a little speechless. Who was he looking down on?Take refuge in the prince? ?It is impossible for him to do such a thing with his head caught in the door!

If Emperor Taikang and Emperor Mingkang are unreliable, where there are princes and other things, he will find a way to destroy the Chu family.

"Where's the messenger?"

After reading the letter, Jia Ju asked softly.

Yang Liben kept his head down. Seeing Jia Ju's questioning, he quickly replied: "This letter was sent over when we went to Jia's mansion. It was a doll. He put it down and left. According to him, it was a doll." There was an old gentleman who sent it over, and he even got a candied haws for delivering the letter!"

Hearing this, Jia Guan didn't continue to ask any further questions. The other party was so careful that he probably wouldn't show any signs of cheating. He didn't think too much about it. He just asked Xiangling to bring a candle and burned the thing. .

"General!"

At this moment, two voices came from outside the door, it was Xu Yuanhui and Er Niu.

Jia Yu replied, "Come in!"

Then I saw Xu Yuanhui and Er Niu walking in. These two men had served as commanders in the Daxue Dragon Cavalry Army before. Needless to say, Xu Yuanhui was originally a cavalry general in Liaodong, and he followed Jia Gong through so many battles survivor.

As for Er Niu, he was a thick and thin man, and he was also the first person he subdued in Liaodong. Well, he was the one who was directly punched away by himself in the school grounds.

After seeing the two, Jia Gong pointed to Yang Liben beside him, "I'll give you half a month to learn how to be a housekeeper with Yang Liben! In the future, the housekeeper in the mansion will be the business of the two of you!"

When Yang Liben heard this, a wry smile appeared on his face. He, the client, is still here. How can this Lord Hou be so straightforward?
Seeing him like this, Jia Gong cut straight to the point and said: "If you don't need to talk about it, let's say more, lest we all look ugly. If you don't want to leave, I will throw you to the military camp. At that time, life or death will depend on personal nature~"

Hearing this, Yang Liben was shocked, and had no choice but to bow down to accept the order. Thinking of the task on his body, he shook his head helplessly, and now he can only give up. Fortunately, his master didn't say that the task must be completed at the beginning. , also considered the situation that Jia Gong would refuse to accept it.

The snowflakes were still falling. Judging from this appearance, even if it was dark, it might not stop. The magnificent Daming Palace was also buried under the heavy snow at this time.

In the imperial study room, Emperor Ming Kang summoned Lin Ruhai, and while approving the memorial, he said, "Ruhai, I heard that you met the champion before?"

Lin Ruhai smiled wryly from the bottom of his heart, his guess was indeed right, Emperor Mingkang still knew about it.

He cupped his hands and replied respectfully: "Going back to the emperor, I met once three or four years ago! But at that time, he was still a boy and a half, and he was unknown."

Seeing that Lin Ruhai didn't deny it, and Emperor Mingkang didn't look up, he continued to approve the memorial, his eyes skipped the lines of small characters, and looked at the opinions that the cabinet had drafted. After reading the words, he put the memorial in his hand to one side.

Then he picked up another memorial, and started to read it again, completely ignoring Lin Ruhai who had been standing with his head bowed in front of the imperial case.

The imperial study room became a little quieter, and Lin Ruhai, who was standing by the side, also started to feel his heart beating. Fortunately, he was good at cultivating his mind and character, so he didn't make a fool of himself.

After another cup of tea, Emperor Mingkang said again: "My champion has been to the south of the Yangtze River?"

Lin Ruhai paused for a moment, then said: "I don't know, but the last time I met the champion was in Yangzhou!"

He didn't want to hide those things that Emperor Mingkang already knew, and told the truth.

After a while, Emperor Mingkang asked again: "Who is that little girl?"

Lin Ruhai thought for a while and replied again: "It was a little girl who was rescued by the champion Hou. I heard that she was abducted by a kidnapper. She was rescued by the champion Hou at that time!"

Then Emperor Mingkang asked again: "Then you know about his going north to attack thieves?"

Lin Ruhai secretly swallowed two mouthfuls of saliva. The most critical moment of his heart has come. Regarding the previous few questions, there is no harm at all. A little girl is not even as good as an ant with Emperor Mingkang. of.

Only the voices of the two asking and answering remained in the imperial study room, and his mood became inexplicably tense.

Taking two deep breaths slowly, Lin Ruhai said: "I know, but I didn't know that he was Jia Jun at the time. At that time, the champion seemed to have used a fake name to avoid suspicion!"

Hearing Lin Ruhai's answer, Emperor Mingkang frowned. Xu Yuantu sent a secret report earlier, saying that Jia Gong seemed to have offended the old lady in Rongguo's mansion because of something bad he had done. The old lady was driven out of the capital.

In this way, it is true that Lin Ruhai is the son-in-law of the Jia family. If he knew that Jia Guan was kicked out by the old lady, he probably wouldn't meet him, so he used a fake name, which is logical.

Ming Kangdi, who knew more information than Lin Ruhai, naturally made up this paragraph, and felt that he was right. The real situation should be like this. Lin Ruhai only met people and didn't know his real name.

After half a cup of tea, Lin Ruhai left the imperial study in a daze. Thinking of the previous events, he was at a loss. What did Emperor Mingkang ask just now?Perhaps Lin Ruhai would not have thought that fate was so mysterious that even Emperor Mingkang let him leave without further questioning.

Today is also lively, one wave is not calm, and another wave is rising again. When Lin Ruhai came to Daming Palace to meet, Mrs. Wang and Wang Xifeng came to Jia Mu and talked about Yuanchun.

"Mother, do you think this is possible?"

Looking at Mrs. Wang, Jia Mu also muttered in her heart. Not to mention, what her daughter-in-law said did not violate the three things Jia Gong said, and the rewards were extremely high. Once Yuanchun girl can become the emperor's concubine, Then their family will reach the sky in one step and become relatives of the emperor.

Don't violate morality, don't violate human relations, don't endanger the court, don't violate any of them!It's not about stealing or robbing, it's not about killing and setting fire, buying and selling by force, and it won't endanger Dakang's country and society.

But then she thought again, would Jia Jun agree to this matter?He is not easy to operate!

The emperor is not a puppet, he can like whoever he says he likes, and the concubine in the harem is not sealed just by saying.

After a short pause, Mother Jia said, "Second brother, are you sure you can do it? Brother Gong has nothing to do with the big girl, what can he do? The big girl has been in the palace for so many years If there is no movement, it means that she is not in the emperor's favor! Although Brother Gong has made great contributions, he can't decide the emperor's thoughts!"

There was no one else in the room except Mother Jia and Mrs. Wang, and Wang Xifeng stood guard at the door. Sister Feng knew that there were a lot of people in the house, so this matter was too involved and must not be known.

Hearing what Jia Mu said, Mrs. Wang suddenly lost her mind. Before that, she only thought that Jia Gong was the most prestigious prince in the dynasty. If he wanted to push hard, it should be effective, but after what Jia Mu said, She also realized that the government had already been divided and re-established, but the relationship was far away. No matter how great Jia Gongli's contribution was, it had nothing to do with them. Didn't the two governments reward the two governments when they were not rewarded by the emperor?
It's just that in the end Mrs. Wang thought of her eldest daughter. In the deep palace compound, she couldn't see her daughter twice a year. She couldn't bear it, and she planned to try it. If you support her, life in the palace will be much easier.

So Mrs. Wang knelt down and burst into tears, "Old lady, what is going on in the palace? Others don't know, don't you know? I don't see Yuan girl twice a year. There, she is always cautious. There is no promising brother in our house, and there is no one to support her at all. The last time I saw her, her knees were swollen, but because of a small incident, she was killed by those in the palace. The nobles are punished to kneel, she was raised under your knees at the beginning~"

These words reveal the true feelings of Mrs. Wang as a mother. Yuan Chun is her daughter. After all, she is distressed. Unlike Jia Huan and other concubines' children, she doesn't care at all. She was caught by her. For any mistakes, he must be fined to kneel down and copy the scriptures without mercy.

Hearing this, Jia's mother was not in a good mood. Mrs. Wang had hit her sore spot. Yuan Chun was raised under her knees since she was a child. Because she was born on the Lunar New Year's Day, she was naturally festive and auspicious. She liked it too, so she took it. The name Yuanchun was given, and the following names Yingchun, Tanchun, and Xichun were all because of this big girl.

Then Jia Mu's eyes flickered twice, and she sighed, "That's all! Let my old lady think about it! Let the men in the mansion discuss it at that time! Although the chance is not great, if it can be done, then it is too late. Splashing wealth!"

At the end of the talk, Mother Jia suddenly looked at Mrs. Wang who was kneeling on the ground, and she said in a very serious tone: "My second family, even if this matter is settled, you are not allowed to say a word. If you let me hear any turbulence, even if Yuan girl comes back when she reaches her age, there will be no room for negotiation~"

Regarding Mrs. Wang's methods, Jia's mother is clear, and those are just leftovers from her play. You must know that Jia's mother is a king-level figure in Zhai Dou. There is no concubine, but there are many concubines in the East Mansion!On the other hand, Mrs. Wang is even worse. Jia Huan and Tanchun are two concubines who live well.

Seeing the cold light in Jia Mu's eyes, Mrs. Wang's heart trembled, she secretly swallowed two mouthfuls of saliva, she nodded quickly and promised that there would be no rumors in the mansion, but she was still a little happy to see Jia Mu's intention to let go of.

It was almost noon when we spoke, and smoke rose from the silver-clad capital.

In a room in the Taihe Palace, an old man in a bright yellow dragon robe stretched out his chopsticks to pull a steaming small silver pot in front of him, which was filled with thinly sliced ​​fresh venison, beef and mutton, The camphor meat, as well as the rare green leaves of this season, are full of aroma.

There was also an old eunuch reporting something, and the old man raised his head from time to time to say a few words.

These two people are none other than Emperor Taikang, Emperor Taikang of Dakang, and Xia Cheng, the eunuch in charge of the Taihe Palace.

Hearing that Jia Jun rode up the street without any entourage, Emperor Taikang laughed, "This bastard doesn't pay attention to pomp at all, so he went back with a few servants!"

Xia Cheng answered from the side: "No, it's because he is young and doesn't know the rules. If the sage is willing to take care of him, our little Marquis will be blessed by heaven. Wouldn't he be grateful, thank you so much."

Emperor Taikang glanced at Xia Cheng who was kneeling beside him, a deep meaning flashed in his eyes, he was silent for a while, then Emperor Taikang suddenly asked such a question, "I heard that this kid also promised two houses and three things?"

A smile appeared on Xia Cheng's face, "This old servant is a good one, and I know how to be grateful!"

Hearing this, Emperor Taikang laughed. Of course he knew what Xia Cheng meant, but he knew better that it was too late now, and his son was already too late when he became the champion of Jia Gong.

At this point, there is no way to be more kind, unless another king with a different surname is named, he is not old-fashioned, the king is a bottom line, the current four princes are already troublesome enough, he doesn't want to ask for trouble .

Thinking of this, Emperor Taikang sighed softly, looked at the snow-white outside the window, and murmured in a very low voice, "It's late~"

　Tomorrow, the monthly ticket will be updated, and finally it will be less. There are 8K, which is unbearable today!
