serious man in the red chamber

Chapter 301
It was dawn, and the gate of Miss Feng's small courtyard opened.

Jia Lian came out in a third-rank civil official robe, and the young servant Zhao'er who was waiting by the door hurriedly followed.

Jia Zheng is a person who doesn't even know how to be an official, and he can't support the Jia family's influence in the capital. Jia Amnesty can't get involved in these matters. The right servant of the household department of the third rank.

The sedan chair guards have prepared a four-person sedan chair to serve Jia Lian on the yamen.

Jia Lian led Zhao'er out from the second gate and walked towards the big sedan chair.

At this moment, Wang Shanbao ran over from the side door of Rong En Hall, panting: "Quick, the master asked the second master to talk."

Jia Lian asked anxiously: "What's the matter?"

Wang Shanbao stepped forward and whispered: "Second Master, my face doesn't look good. You have to be careful."

Jia Lian nodded appreciatively, and walked quickly to Rong En Hall.

In the outer study room, Jia She was sitting in front of the desk with a livid face and said nothing.

"Squeak!"

Jia Lian came in a panic. He was startled as soon as he entered the room and walked over lightly: "Master."

Jia She looked at him: "Is there any letter from the Empress' Palace these days?"

Jia Lian was startled, and replied, "No." Then he hurriedly asked, "What happened?"

Jia She leaned on the back of his chair and slowly closed his eyes: "I just heard that Fengzao Palace had a doctor in charge of the imperial hospital the day before yesterday, and two imperial doctors went to see a doctor. I guess it is not the palace daughter's servant."

Jia Lian's expression changed: "Your Majesty is sick?"

Jia She closed his eyes: "I'm afraid it's the Ninth Prince!"

At this time, Jia Zheng walked in and said to Jia She, "Brother, we can't talk about anything at night. I have to rush to the office."

Jia Lian quickly told him what Jia She had just said.

Jia Zheng was startled at first, and then looked at Jia She: "How do you know about the harem?"

Jia She slowly opened his eyes: "I know what you know, and I know what you don't!" His eyes flashed when he said this, "I also know that the empress gave a ban on several imperial doctors, and they are not allowed. They play the emperor."

He suddenly raised his voice, "You two are dead! None of you pay attention to the affairs of the palace. Do you know how you got your official robes? Each of you really regards yourself as a pillar of the court, and you are still rushing Shangya! I don’t know how I will die any day.”

These words were very harsh, Jia Zheng blushed, but Jia Lian came to his senses and hurriedly asked: "Master, you mean that the empress deliberately concealed the condition of the empress or the nine princes, and she has an ulterior secret?!"

Jia Amnesty shook her head: "She doesn't dare yet, and she doesn't have the ability. Although she still doesn't know who is sick, it can be seen that the illness is not serious. Also, the emperor's health is not very good recently."

Jia Lian thought for a while, "Why didn't Director Dai send the news?"

There was a cold light in Jia She's eyes: "This old man has too many eyes." Then he turned his eyes to Jia Zheng and Jia Lian: "After all, you are still incompetent."

Jia Zheng and Jia Lian lowered their heads.

Jia She snorted coldly: "Don't go to the Yamen today, go directly to the Meridian Gate to ask for orders."

Jia Zheng and Jia Lian replied, "Yes." They all withdrew.

Looking at the figures of Jia Zheng and Jia Lian disappearing outside the door, Jia She sighed deeply.
At this time in the study room, Emperor Jianwu was not sitting on the dragon chair, but lying on the Xiaoyao chair beside him, with a towel on his head.

Emperor Jianwu is sick!
Sitting next to Emperor Jianwu, Wang Hetang had a stack of official documents on his lap. At this moment, he was holding a document and looking at the emperor with slightly closed eyes, waiting.

After a long time, Emperor Jianwu opened his eyes: "The decree is to confer on Lin Ruhai the title of Shangshu of the Ministry of War, and then the title of Yudu Yushi of the Metropolitan Procuratorate. Come up, I will make the decision for him!"

Wang Hetang replied: "Yes." He handed this official document to Dai Quan, who was at the side, and opened another official document, "The emperor's performance is played by the clan's family. Prince Zhongshun's condition suddenly worsened. Can he go home and confine him? More than half a month is half a year."

"Zunzuo." Emperor Jianwu thought for a while, spit out these two words, and closed his eyes again.

Wang Hetang handed the official document to Dai Quan, and Dai Quan took it and walked to the imperial case to review it on behalf of the emperor.

Wang Hetang went on to play: "Ning Yuanhou's military report, General Liu Kun led his army to defeat the allied forces of Jilin Vice Dutong and Horqin Department less than [-] miles away from Tieling, beheaded more than [-] people and captured more than [-] people. Du Tong led the remnants and fled back to Kaiyuan." At this point, Wang Hetang stopped. "What's wrong?" Emperor Jianwu opened his eyes.

Wang Hetang hesitated for a moment, and then said: "General Liu Kun did not pursue the victory, but withdrew to Shengjing."

"okay."

Emperor Jianwu waved his hand, "Tell Li Chengyang to speed up the clean-up around Shengjing and vacate all the houses and land. The victims in Shandong will go north by boat in two months."

"Yes." Wang Hetang went on to play: "The last batch of property in Shengjing City has been shipped, and Zhen Fu's sister is also entering the customs with the convoy."

As Wang Hetang spoke, he immediately felt footsteps outside the door and turned to look at the door.

Dai Quan also looked towards the door.

Sure enough, the voice of the chief eunuch on duty at the Meridian Gate came from outside the door: "Your Majesty, Jia Zheng, the Minister of Guanglu Temple, and Jia Lian, the right servant of the Household Department, have requested to enter the palace to greet the Concubine De."

Emperor Jianwu took the towel from his head, sat up propped up, and asked with a smile, "What's your greeting this year?"

As soon as these words came out, Dai Quan immediately knelt down.

How alert Wang Hetang was, he got up quickly and said, "Your Excellency will leave." He put the stack of official documents on the imperial case, and walked out quickly.

Emperor Jianwu looked at Dai Quan: "What's going on?"

Dai Quan: "Your Majesty, Concubine De is ill."

Emperor Jianwu was startled and asked anxiously, "When did it happen?"

Dai Quan: "It's been two days."

Emperor Jianwu: "Why don't I know?"

Dai Quan's voice weakened: "Ms. De Concubine just got a bit of a cold, and it's not serious. The Empress said that Your Majesty is not in good health these days, and he has to worry about state affairs, so he won't let the servants."

Emperor Jianwu glanced at him, then stood up with a chair, and said to the eunuch on duty at the Meridian Gate, "Tell Jia Zheng that tomorrow I will serve Mrs. Tai and come to the palace to inquire."

The eunuch on duty at the Meridian Gate responded: "Yes."

Emperor Jianwu turned his attention to Dai Quan again: "You have been with me for so many years, you should know my thoughts."

Dai Quan could only take a heavy sip and lie on the ground again.

Emperor Jianwu looked at him deeply, and said after a long time: "Get up."

Dai Quan: "Yes." He kowtowed again before getting up.

"Let's go to Fengzao Palace." Emperor Jianwu turned and walked out.

Dai Quan hurriedly followed.

As soon as he walked out of Qianqing Palace, Emperor Jianwu suddenly stopped in his tracks and asked, "Is Mr. Zhou also sick a while ago?"

Dai Quan quickly replied: "Maybe it's because of the change of seasons. Recently, several empresses in the palace have been sick."

Emperor Jianwu frowned: "What do you think?"

Dai Quan was shocked: "I will arrange for an investigation immediately."

Emperor Jianwu glanced at him: "I'm waiting for your news."

"Yes. The servant must investigate and find out!" Dai Quan replied loudly.

Emperor Jianwu looked into the distance again: "You go to Jia's house to pass on the message. This matter tells them not to send someone to deliver letters to Jia Hu, so that he can fight in front of him with peace of mind."

Dai Quan replied softly: "Yes"
