serious man in the red chamber

Chapter 352 Rainstorm
In the blink of an eye, it was late May, and for five days in a row, there was no wind in the entire capital. The wealthy families had ice cubes to cool down the heat, and ordinary people with better conditions could grit their teeth and buy one or two pieces of ice from the Jiajia Chamber of Commerce to cool off the heat, but most of them Most ordinary people are miserable and can only suffer.

After all, Zhang Guangru, the Yin of Shuntian Prefecture, was new to the officialdom, and he had not yet developed a heart of stone. On the third day, he started to spend money to make herbal tea and distribute it. If someone else were to be the Yin of Shuntian Prefecture, many people would die of heat, and they would definitely not be willing to pay for it. This money.

By accident, Zhang Guangru won the nickname Zhang Qingtian.

Zhang Guangru never dreamed that because of his kind deed today, he would save his life in a subsequent power struggle!

Of course, these are things to follow.

There was a breeze at dawn that day, but now the sky had become gloomy, and the dark clouds were getting thicker and thicker.

Jia Hu walked alone by the small pond in Huifang Garden with his hands behind his back.

Behind him came Jiao Da.

As Jia Hu walked, he asked Jiao Da: "Is it true that the news was not leaked by other companies?"

Jiao Da: "Yes. Princess Nan'an sent very valuable gifts to Duke Zhen, Lin'an Bo, and Baoning Hou. They have no reason to leak the news."

Jia Hu's brows furrowed. The reason why he avoided seeing the people from Nan'an County Prince's Mansion was partly because he suspected that they were plotting against him, and partly because he wanted them to run into obstacles everywhere during this period. In the end, he was trying to pull them together. Bundle.This will allow them to accept their own opinions, first abandon the Prince of Nan'an, let the Prince of Nan'an inherit the title, keep the Prince of Nan'an, and then find a way to redeem the Prince of Nan'an from the Annan people.

However, what Jia Hu didn't expect was that this matter was leaked. It was expected that it would cause an uproar soon, and then he would be even more passive.

Jiao Da thought for a while and said, "The news reached Ni Er's ears early in the morning. He should still be in Dongshi."

Jia Hu stopped, looked up at the sky, and then at Jiao Da: "Let Ni Er arrange for someone to check."

Jiao Da quickly replied: "Yes. Jiao Da will definitely get to the bottom of it!"

After a pause, "Jia Yucun has made friends with Shuntian Prefecture Yin Zhang Guangru, and the two have been dating very hotly recently."

Jia Hu nodded.

Jiao Da: "There is another strange thing. Your Majesty has kept an eye on the Japanese people, but they have not left the Concierge Courtyard for five days."

Jia Hu: "Go ahead."

Jiao Da: "We bribed a clerk in the concierge. According to him, the Japanese people have been actively interacting with the Korean Tatars recently."

Jia Hu thought for a while: "Let's check it slowly."

Jiao Da nodded.

Jia Hu took a few steps forward, stopped again, turned to Jiao Da and said, "Let someone go to Prince Yizhong's island to see what he is doing. Also, see if he has anything to do with Xi Yi." People do business.”

Jiao Da was shocked: "Second Master suspects that the matter in Southern Xinjiang is related to Prince Yizhong?"

Jia Hu: "It's possible. I remember you once said that the Western Yi named William said that they were attacking Moscow from the west. How could they support the Annamites at this time?"

After a pause, "Don't forget, he once supported the Tatars in Liaodong. This kid can do anything."

"This"

Jiao Da didn't believe his ears.

Jia Hu waved his hand: "Go and do your work."

Jiao Da: "Yes." Turned around and walked out.

At this moment, Lin San came over and said to Jia Hu: "Your Majesty, there is news from the eldest master of Xifu that the emperor has approved Second Master Lian's resignation."

Jia Hu looked at him: "It's going to rain."

Lin San was stunned.

Suddenly, a sound of thunder with a long tail sound came from deep in the sky, followed by another thunder, then a bright lightning, and then another thunder!
Jia Hu: "This rain won't stop for a while, so let the craftsmen evacuate."

"Calculate one day's wages." Jia Hu added.Lin San: "Yes." He answered and walked towards the craftsmen who were constructing in the distance.

At this time, a gust of wind blew up, and the corners of his robe were lifted up by the wind. Jia Hu looked up at the dark sky, turned around and walked towards the Grand View Garden.

Outside the moon gate, Hu Hu stood looking at Jia Hu with a smile on her face, holding an umbrella in her hand.

At this time, there was a flash of lightning, and then, big raindrops fell sparsely to the ground. Amber hurriedly opened his umbrella and rushed over. Because he was running in such a hurry, he staggered and almost slipped.

Jia Hu hurriedly stepped forward and hugged her, took the umbrella in her hand, and walked into the moon gate with her in his arms.

On the top of Qianqing Palace, there was also a shocking thunder.

Then, a bolt of lightning flashed across, illuminating the inside and outside of Shang's study in pale white. After the scattered raindrops, a howling downpour instantly flooded the entire imperial city.

Emperor Jianwu was standing in front of the window, as if looking at the curtain-like rain curtain, and as if he was listening carefully to the thunder in the distance.

Dai Quan came in holding a food box and said with a smile: "This rain is really timely. It not only lowered the temperature, but also alleviated the drought in Zhili." After speaking, he opened the lid of the box and took out a bowl of porridge. He handed it to Emperor Jianwu along with a spoon.

Emperor Jianwu waved his hand: "I'm not hungry."

Dai Quan: "Yes." He walked back to the imperial cabinet and brought another bowl of tea to Emperor Jianwu.

Emperor Jianwu looked at him, had no choice but to take the tea and take a sip, then sighed, "Tell me, if it is true, how should I deal with Prince Nan'an?"

Dai Quan said, "Your Majesty, half a month has passed, and it's time to issue an order to pursue the title of General Wei."

Emperor Jianwu seemed to understand something and looked at him: "You mean?"

Dai Quan smiled: "The Crown Princess of Nan'an is a smart person and will understand your majesty's painstaking efforts. As long as the Prince of Nan'an County submits a memorial to invite the crown prince to inherit the title, he will immediately issue a 'Residence Report' and notify all provinces."

Emperor Jianwu sighed: "I'm afraid they don't understand my painstaking efforts!"

Dai Quan was still smiling: "The prince of Nan'an County has been favored by the emperor, and he will definitely share your worries for your majesty."

Emperor Jianwu looked through the window and looked at the sky-like rain curtain outside the window: "The decree is: Wei Ruolan, Wei Rugui's son, will reward a first-class son and become a Yunqi captain, and also grant him the title of Wai Lang, a member of the military department, and order him to study in the military department. "

Dai Quan: "Yes."

"What's going on with Jia Lian?" Emperor Jianwu suddenly asked.

Dai Quan was stunned for a moment, then laughed.

Emperor Jianwu turned around and looked at him: "What's wrong?"

Dai Quan held back his laughter and said, "Old slave, I remembered what the chief minister said."

Emperor Jianwu's eyes lit up: "Oh?"

Dai Quan: "The chief assistant's evaluation of him is very fair. He has some ability, but is timid and cowardly. The death of Jin Shuqing frightened him, and now he is hiding at home to continue the family line."

Emperor Jianwu was also dumbfounded.

Dai Quan continued: "Among the Jia family's descendants, apart from the county king, Jia Lian is pretty good. I heard that Concubine De's brother is still hanging around in the inner circle and not doing his job properly." At this point, he came forward. Taking a step forward, he lowered his voice: "This Second Master Bao even teased his mother and maid, it's true"

Hearing this, Emperor Jianwu frowned and teased his mother-in-law. This was a serious violation of etiquette.

"What is Jia Hu busy with?" Emperor Jianwu asked again.

Dai Quan: "I have been staying in the house and haven't gone anywhere."

Emperor Jianwu looked at him deeply, and then nodded: "Now that the Minister of Household Affairs and the left and right ministers are all vacant, you should go to the cabinet immediately and ask them to select someone from the alternate officials to replace the right minister."

Dai Quan: "Yes." He answered, bowed and left.

Looking at his back disappearing outside the door, Emperor Jianwu walked to the imperial case and pulled out a piece of paper from the case file, which was densely covered with words. If he looked carefully, he could vaguely see that the ink paper recorded Dai's details in detail. Quan’s daily actions, where he went, who he met, and even some of what he said were recorded.
