serious man in the red chamber

Chapter 33 Splitting the Beijing Camp and Daiyu Entering the Jia Mansion
Qianqing Palace, go to the study.

With a sound of "bang bang", the faces of several great eunuchs standing outside the door turned pale with fright, and then the voice of Emperor Jianwu came from inside: "What do you mean, if I don't listen to you, Da Zhou will perish?"

Niu Jizong knelt down: "Your Majesty, please put the country and the country as the most important thing, kill King Zhongshun and Marquis Zhongjing, and rectify the foundation of the country!"

King Zhongshun and Marquis Shi Ding of Zhongjing changed their expressions first!
The first assistant Song Chengliang, the second assistant Zhang Shangwen, and the household secretary Zhao Zixun also changed their faces!
Liu Fang, Ma Shang, and Shi Guangzhu who were standing aside also changed their faces!

Emperor Jianwu's complexion became even worse, and he looked straight at Niu Jizong: "What if I don't agree?"

Niu Jizong took off the gauze cap on his head, kowtowed, stood up, and walked out of the upper study step by step.

"This is forcing the palace!" King Zhongshun's face was flushed red at this time: "Your Majesty, I implore Niu Jizong to be arrested immediately! Anyone who has dealings with him should be arrested! Catch all the traitors behind him!" Then he turned to Dai Quan: "Director Dai, catch this man and don't let him escape!"

Dai Quan looked out of the door.

Only then did Emperor Jianwu come to his senses, feeling that his dignity as an emperor had been threatened, his face sank, he glanced at Liu Fang and the other three, and asked, "Do you want to put on your gauze hat like him?!"

The three of them looked at each other, took off the gauze caps on their heads, put them on the ground, bowed deeply to Emperor Jianwu, and walked out.

"Do you know what 'Heaven, Earth, Monarch, Parent, Teacher' is?" King Zhongshun roared again, "Just because you dare to talk about being a country! You are clearly traitors who are treacherous and loyal!"

"Prince Zhongshun," Song Chengliang said, "be cautious!"

King Zhongshun snorted angrily, and had no choice but to look at the emperor.

Emperor Jianwu lost his anger, looked at the four black hats on the ground, could it be that he was really wrong?Have you been blinded by your emotions?

King Zhongshun gave Shi Ding another wink.

Shi Ding was very confused, but he couldn't keep silent, "Your Majesty!"

Emperor Jianwu: "What's the matter?"

Shi Ding: "Xuanfu."

Emperor Jianwu leaned back, leaned on the dragon chair, and breathed a long sigh of relief, "Drop all the cavalry from the Fifth Army Battalion to go north with the [-] Battalion to support Datong. Qingqi. That's it."

King Zhongshun: "Your Majesty."

"Shut up!" Emperor Jianwu cut him off, and then turned to Song Chengliang, "Shoufu, how should the Beijing camp be split?"

Everyone was startled.

The attitude of the emperor made Song Chengliang feel ups and downs. He understood that the emperor was indeed blinded by his emotions. The Beijing camp is the core force for guarding the capital. Theoretically speaking, this army is firmly controlled by the nobles. , it is the emperor's greatest reliance.

Everything has two sides, so it is necessary to distinguish the priorities.

Song Chengliang pondered for a while, and replied: "The defense of the capital cannot be separated from the capital camp, and all of them cannot be transferred away."

"Oh?" There was a gleam of light in Emperor Jianwu's eyes.

"On the Shangyuan Festival, the performance of the Yongwei Battalion let the ministers see the benefits of firearms. The Shenji Battalion has the most advanced firearms in Dazhou, including a large number of artillery. It is very important and must be in the hands of the court. The Chongwenmen Camp It has been vacant for more than ten years, and the defense of the inner city is weak, so it can be garrisoned by the Shenji Battalion."

Emperor Jianwu nodded: "Yes."

Song Chengliang went on to say: "If the Dushikou is breached, Juyongguan and Zijingguan will be threatened. We should immediately mobilize elite troops to support them. Generals Ma Shang and Shi Guangzhu can lead our troops there."

"Okay." King Zhongshun's eyes flashed with excitement, and he looked deeply at Song Chengliang: "What about Liu Fang's Chinese army? This is the most elite field infantry of the Fifth Army Battalion!"

Song Chengliang kept his face green and did not answer.

King Zhongshun was anxious: "Shoufu?"

Song Chengliang lowered his head slowly, and King Zhongshun was startled, so he had to look at the emperor again.

Emperor Jianwu looked at the black hat on the ground again, sat there thinking for a while, and then looked at Dai Quan: "Decree to transfer troops from Henan, Anhui, and Hubei to Beijing, and I will destroy the Chahar tribe."

Dai Quan: "Follow the order."

King Zhongshun blinked. The emperor didn't plan to deal with the nobles. He remembered Niu Jizong's words again, which made him anxious, "Your Majesty, today's incident was premeditated and ordered by someone."

"You're presumptuous!" He gave him a dissatisfied look, and Emperor Jianwu looked at Dai Quan again, "Drop the Yongwei Battalion to Beijing."

Dai Quan replied loudly: "Yes."

The news that the Mongols broke through Dushikou quickly spread throughout the capital. With the passage of time, the common people had long forgotten the cruelty of the war. No one was worried that the Mongols would come to the capital. The streets and alleys still had a peaceful atmosphere.

Rongguo Mansion, Rongqing Hall.

Jiamu's courtyard is a standard five-entry mansion, the first two are the residences and activity venues of the wives, Jiamu's main house is in the middle, the third entrance, five large main rooms, side rooms on both sides, the fourth entrance is the backyard, and the last As soon as you enter, there is a small and exquisite back garden.

"Easy! Lighten!"

Wang Xifeng directed the women to move things into the main room in the backyard for a while, and urged the boys to build the wall: "Hurry up, I missed the master's errand, but be careful with your skin!"

Originally, Mother Jia wanted Daiyu to live in the suite, just like Baoyu, and everything was ready, but a message came from the elder master and the second master, asking her to bring someone to clean up the backyard, and He ordered people to block the door leading to Mrs. Wang's backyard, and opened another moon gate on the courtyard wall behind the hanging flower gate in the front yard, so that he would have to take a detour when he came to Rongqing Hall in the future.

"I'm really exhausted!" Looking at the solid moon gate, Wang Xifeng muttered.

"Grandma, the room is ready."

Ping'er, Wang Xifeng's dowry girl, came over.

"Go, have a look."

After entering the bedroom, Wang Xifeng took a closer look. The quilts had been prepared a long time ago. The desk under the window, the bookshelf, and the qin hanging on the wall were all brought from the second master's inner study. The antique calligraphy and paintings on display, each worth a thousand dollars, were taken from the Grand Master's study.

Thinking of the eldest lady who was picking and searching, Wang Xifeng smiled wryly and shook her head. At this time, a voice of a woman came from outside the house, "Second Grandma, Second Grandma"

"What do you look like in a panic!"

Wang Xifeng frowned, walked out with a handkerchief, and glared at the woman, "Tell me, what's the matter?"

The old woman: "Miss Lin is here, and now she has passed through the Chuihua Gate and is heading for the old lady's house."

"Why didn't you say it earlier!" Wang Xifeng shook the handkerchief in her hand fiercely, walked out of the backyard in a few quick steps, Ping'er waved her hand at the woman, and hurriedly followed.

In the distance, Jia Mu's cry came from inside the house. Wang Xifeng walked to the door and took a look inside. Sure enough, Jia Mu was holding a little girl in her arms and crying heartily. , Second Wife, Li Wan, You Shi, Qin Shi, Aunt Zhao, Aunt Zhou and others also covered their faces and wept.

There was a mother and daughter standing under the hall. The woman was about forty years old. She looked a little like Mrs. Wang, but she was a little more kind. Green without painting, face like a silver basin, eyes like water apricots, she looks like this at a young age, in a few years, she will probably be a Qin family again.
It was easy to distinguish the identities of the three people. After everyone persuaded Jia's mother, Wang Xifeng walked in and said with a smile: "I am late, and I have never greeted guests from far away!"

Daiyu was covering her face and wiping her tears, not wanting such wanton laughter to come from her ears. Looking up, she saw a group of daughters-in-law and maids walking over surrounded by a man. Phoenix triangular eyes, two curved willow leaf hanging eyebrows, slender stature and coquettish physique.Although there was a smile on her face, but those eyes made Daiyu feel that this person was not easy to mess with.
