Sword of the Red Chamber from Heaven

Chapter 224 Encounter by chance, avoid death

Time flies, and two hours later, with the help of Cailuan and Xiangling, Jia Gong put on the court clothes, wiped the darkness and left the door.

At this time, there were already people on the street, sparsely in twos and threes, not many, most of them were families, and they probably came out to pay New Year's greetings at this hour.

This reminded him that in modern times, with the improvement of living conditions, the taste of the New Year has become more and more weak. Many young people are stuck at home and don't want to go out. The scene of going out to pay New Year's greetings like this is indeed memorable.

The Hou's Mansion was not too far from Daming Palace, and he arrived at the Imperial Palace not long after. The Daming Palace was brightly lit, the nose was slightly fanned, and a faint scent of incense and fireworks filled the air.

At this time, the Daming Palace was already full of people, and I was a latecomer. The civil and military officials were polite to each other and said auspicious words for the New Year. The scene was so lively. Jia Gong stood still near the Chuhuamen, quietly. watching this scene.

Suddenly a voice came over, which made him slightly taken aback. His identity was sensitive. Except for a few officials who were already acquainted with him before, no one else would come to him.

"Champion Hou~ Happy Chinese New Year!!"

Not far behind Jia Gong, there were two princes in python robes, they were Chu Ye and Chu Xuan, the third and fifth princes.

Jia Jun turned around, and saw these two talking and laughing towards him. Chu Xuan was about the same age as Jia Jun, while Chu Ye was slightly older, but also limited.

"Meet the two Highnesses~"

Jia Ju was not rude, and greeted the two of them with a smile.

"I wish the two Highnesses good health and good luck~"

Hearing this, Chu Ye laughed, and said to Chu Xuan who was beside him: "Look, I said that he doesn't know how to say that auspicious sentence!! Fifth brother, you are welcome to take that Chilong Seal as a brother!" !!"

Chu Xuan on the side looked unhappy. It seemed that the two of them had made a bet just now, and he seemed to have lost.

"You shouldn't have made this bet with the emperor!"

Hearing Chu Xuan's words, the third prince couldn't help laughing.

Jia Guan smiled and shook his head, "Dare to ask what the two Highnesses are talking about, if it's okay, I'd like to hear it!!"

Chu Ye waved his hand, "It's okay, it's just a joke between me and my fifth brother!"

"I would like to hear more about it~"

Chu Ye continued: "Our brothers came here just now, and we made a bet. I said that when the champion Hou greets our brothers in a while, will he bluntly say Happy New Year, or say something nice!!"

"My fifth brother guessed 'Happy Chinese New Year', but I guessed something beautiful!"

The corners of Chu Xuan's mouth twitched twice, and he complained with some displeasure: "Champion Marquis, you said that you are a big bastard, even Versace is screaming and screaming, wouldn't it be simpler? You have to learn those sour words... ..."

Looking at the Fifth Prince who didn't hide his displeasure at all, Jia Jun smiled wryly and shook his head. This is in the palace, not in his own mansion. He can say whatever he wants in the mansion. When he is away from home, it is better to be more careful. , This is also respect for people.

This one, however, is really interesting. He was born in the royal family, and he was raised to be indifferent to emotions, but this one has both emotions and anger on his face, which is a bit different.

But looking at the age of the other party, he sighed softly in his heart again, the other party is not very old, so it is understandable.

Compared with the fifth prince, the third prince, Chu Ye, seemed more mature and stable, with a spring-like smile on his face all the time, which made people look very comfortable.

"Fifth brother, how do you talk?"

After teaching the fifth prince a lesson, the third prince apologized to Jia Gong again, "I'm sorry, my fifth brother is very straightforward, and he can say whatever comes to mind. If there is something inappropriate, please don't mind the champion~"

Jia Guan waved his hand, indicating that he didn't care.

"Your Highness Fifth, being straightforward is quite in line with my temper. If you have time in the future, you might as well come to the house to do it. Of course, if you are not afraid of being beaten~~"

At the end, Jia Jun joked, Chu Xuan frowned, "Why, do you still dare to beat up His Highness?"

Jia Guan shook his head with a smile, "There is nothing good in the house, only fists and kicks are enough to pass it by. When you have a distinguished guest, you have to show sincerity no matter what~~"

Chu Xuan looked at Jia Gong, and was speechless. It was the first time he heard that beating someone could be so righteous!

"Forget it then! My prince has small arms and legs, I'm afraid I can't even stand your three punches and two kicks!!"

Chu Ye on the side still smiled and said nothing when he heard the two of them, but when he looked at Jia Jun, his eyes were slightly different. They were distinguished, and few people dared to joke with them, but Jia Jun not only opened He even said bluntly that if he wanted to be his guest, he had to get through his fists.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help sighing softly from the bottom of his heart. After all, he is a person who has walked out of the battlefield. In the army, the strong are always respected. If he really wants to get the support of this person, he must blindly pay respects to the corporal. I'm afraid it won't work.

After exchanging a few more pleasantries, Chu Ye said again: "When I came to the palace to pay my respects these few days, I overheard something. Now that I see Lord Hou, I can't complain. Please forgive me~"

Jia Jun was a little surprised when he heard what the third prince said, what could he hear in the palace?Still want to talk to yourself?Suddenly he frowned, he didn't have anyone close to him in the palace, only an eldest sister whom he had just met not long ago.

"I heard that the old concubine Zhen has been taking good care of the concubine Yi these few days. Every day she has to ask her to go over and talk to her. If she has a good relationship, she is like her own junior. Originally, I am not suitable to say this, but again Because at this special time, when the Zhen family did that kind of thing, it's better not to get involved with those few people, and when Lord Hou visits the palace, it's better to share with her the strength of it~"

Jia Jun's expression flashed a little bit of understanding, as expected, this matter is really about the eldest sister he recognized, but the third prince's words may not be true!The old concubine Zhen is a member of the Zhen family, and she killed their clan by herself. I am afraid that this person will be unwilling, and even resentful. Calling Yuan Chun to go there is probably not just to teach her, but to find a way to embarrass her. is the most likely thing.

But what is the third prince's plan to say this here? If the matter involves the harem, it shouldn't be a prince like him who can talk too much, right?He wasn't afraid to offend those science officials or the women in the harem. When the time came, the pillow wind would blow, it would be much more powerful than any evil wind.

But no matter what the other party is, after all, it is considered to have sold a small favor of his own, Jia Yu cupped his fists and thanked: "Thank you to the third highness for this, I will definitely tell her when I visit my sister again! !"

Chu Ye smiled and nodded, and after exchanging a few more pleasantries, he took the fifth prince Chu Xuan and left. The work of these princes today is not easy. Emperor Mingkang will take them to worship the heavens and ancestors, and he is very busy. Very much!
Standing in the small courtyard and watching the two princes leave, Jia Jun thought about Yuan Chun's affairs. If the old concubine really wanted to make things difficult for Yuan Chun, he probably wouldn't be too good at doing it. Hearing what Jia She said earlier, Those two priests lived in seclusion in the Taihe Palace.

If he made a move, it would be very difficult not to be noticed. If he was discovered, it would be difficult to end. After all, murdering a current concubine is comparable to assassinating the emperor.

After that, I am afraid that there is only one way to go, and once the two priests are aware of my identity, I am afraid they will target me. With the situation of one against two, I am not yet fully sure about this matter. I'm afraid I have to take it easy.

As for what Jia Jing said to himself in Xuanzhen Temple, he also felt a little stressed, because he mentioned the two words "Yin Temple" in the end, so Jia Jun also concluded that the Chu family might still have a lot to do. Knowing the inside story, once you make a mistake, the ending may not be as good as you thought.

In this way, if you want to break the game, you have to plan carefully.

After standing there for a while, Dai Quan came out and called the crowd to court.

At today's grand court meeting, all civil and military officials came here. Emperor Mingkang first summed up the harvest of this year, but after reading it together, all the civil and military officials had different expressions. Several of the major events were Jia What Gong did, such as pacifying the Nine Sides, defeating the rebels of the White Lotus Sect, etc. Although the other few things were not trivial, compared with these two things, they paled a lot.

Emperor Mingkang looked at the memorial prepared by the cabinet, and his eyes were quite emotional, merit is merit, and demerit is demerit, the big guy is neither blind nor deaf, good or bad can still be distinguished, although Jia Guan is a bit rebellious It's a bit rough, but the things on the memorial are indeed much better than in previous years.

After that, he said that he had made mistakes, nothing more than the few things that were revealed by Jia Gong, the issue of the cleanliness of officials, a small personal behavior entangled many ministers in the court, this matter Mingkang Emperor has always been Remember, there is also the defense of the capital.

The two elders of the White Lotus Sect could reach the capital with tens of thousands of people. This is an irony for the defense of the capital. In other words, it is a slap in the face of Emperor Mingkang.

When talking about this, Zaifu Fan Yuanhe took the opportunity to propose the matter of reorganizing the army in Beijing. Emperor Mingkang naturally knew what the other party meant, but after knowing the huge cost of the Daxue Dragon Cavalry Army, he had already given up this idea , who will support this army after reorganization?himself?Don't be kidding, the palace's internal funds are not enough for itself. If money is transferred from the treasury, the Minister of the Household Department will probably scold people.

Several other people saw that Emperor Mingkang was weird, so they didn't join hands together. Jia Gong who was standing below was quite strange. What happened to Emperor Mingkang today? Maybe he never thought that Emperor Mingkang would die because he couldn't support anyone Give up the idea of ​​incorporation.

"Jia Ju~~"

"The minister is here~~"

"Last year, you quelled the Nine Sides, retreated from the Bailian rebels twice, wiped out disobedient ministers, eradicated traitors and reformed evils. You made great achievements, but there were also mistakes, so I won't go into details. Now I reward you with a gold medal to save you from death, and save you from three deaths." , I hope you will continue to work hard to protect the country and the people~~"
