No one can disturb my retirement life in the Red Mansion

Chapter 318 The Zhen family’s dilemma

"Mother!" Jia Zheng stopped his mother gently and thought about it, "This time I entered the palace to grant a noble title, but there is no title."

"What do you want to say?" Ou Mengmeng was about to fall asleep. Can these two old sons stop being so emotionally weak and running out to ask for advice when something happens?

"It's a bit unexpected. My son and eldest brother thought that the old saint would at least give her a concubine position!" Jia Zheng thought about it and felt a little confused.And they also felt that this time it was a bit unexpected.It was because of the unexpectedness that they came to ask the old lady.Of course, it just happened to divert the old lady's attention.

"What's the matter? Have you forgotten why I brought Yuan'er out?" Ou Mengmeng calmed down and leaned against her, eyes half closed, "Historically, only two people can go from the Upper Palace to the New Emperor's Palace. Individuals, Wu Zetian and Shangguan Wan'er. One succeeded, the other failed. Tell me, what is the biggest difference between the two?"

"These two people can't be considered successful, right?" Jia Zheng couldn't help but say.They are all familiar with scriptures and history, so there is no need to explain.

"The main thing is that the third girl of the Zhen family is different from our Yuan'er. Yuan'er entered the palace as a young lady, and she entered the palace as a female history; the third girl entered the palace as a noble daughter to accompany her, and the emperor and the concubine entered the palace as filial piety, which is quite It makes some sense." Jia She also disagreed.Jia Yuan entered the palace as a female official, while Miss Zhen San accompanied the old concubine as a noblewoman.Everyone's starting point is different.

"She is worse than Yuan'er! You also said that the old saint at least wanted her a concubine. Although our Yuan'er came out of the old saint's palace, she does not represent the old saint, but the surrender of the four princes and eight princes. As long as she goes to the new emperor's palace, it is a betrayal of the old saint. And the idiots of the Zhen family asked the old saint to get the concubine for them, for fear that others would not know that they were the old saint's people and the eyes sent to the palace. ?”

"So, you just made a noble person?" Jia Zheng breathed a sigh of relief. Sure enough, he missed an important prerequisite.

"No, this is bait. It seems that the emperor has made a move." Jia She pondered for a moment and looked back at his mother.Mother seemed to be asleep, but she was smiling.Jia She also smiled, sighed softly, tucked the old lady in, waved gently to Jia Zheng, and the two slowly withdrew, letting Hu Huo go in and wait on her.

Jia Zheng is no longer the Wu Xia Amen he once was. As soon as Jia She said it, he understood.

The status of the daughter of the Zhen family in the palace actually represents the anger level of the new emperor.Anyway, the old saint only wanted him to accept the daughter of the Zhen family.As for what to seal, the old saint actually doesn't care.

If she really made her a concubine all at once, then she really didn't take the Zhen family seriously.If you want to ban me, you can ban me. Anyway, I won't look good to you just based on your last name.Entering the palace means staying in the cold palace.

However, entering the palace with a low-ranking nobleman means that the new emperor has resistance, but it is not that serious.In a few days, if a 16-year-old girl in her prime comes across the new emperor's aesthetics, she will have a good chance of ascending to the throne after being favored.

In the past few years, Jia She and the others had also been reading the imperial newspapers with the old lady. Together, they analyzed the new emperor's intentions between the lines, and then looked at subsequent policies to see whether their analysis was correct.Therefore, Jia She was also one of the people who knew the new emperor very well.

With the new emperor's temperament, he would definitely not accept the surrender of the Jiangnan Zhen family.Because the sincerity of this surrender is really too low.

And it is estimated that in the eyes of the new emperor, while you are on the old saint's ship, you are also trying to protect the old saint after he is gone.Is this too much?
So this time he was just trying to paralyze the Zhen family.It's just for the next step, a bigger chess game.

At the same time, the Beijing Palace was celebrating. The three girls were named nobles, which was the first step to success.

Over the years, the Jia family's affairs have greatly stimulated them. The Jia family successfully jumped ship, but they were unable to do anything about the Jia family.

Moreover, the Jia family sold all of their property in Jiangnan, and even their ancestral home was given to the Jia family in Jiangnan. They established a new clan in Beijing, and took out the money saved by the Zhen family. In fact, they were cut off from the Zhen family.King Beijing felt more at ease now. He sighed and said to his wife, "Actually, your father is quite stupid. I told your father clearly to let the third girl marry Prince Chunhe as a concubine. Now I put the third girl in the palace. Here, it really doesn’t touch the shore at either end.”

Princess Zhen smiled and said nothing. How could she tell King Beijing that for the Zhen family, they were the confidants of the old saint before and then became loyal to the prince. They didn't think it was a problem.Originally they were just servants of the royal family.

Who knew that the prince would be deposed and eventually rebel. Now what the Zhen family is seeking is to reconcile with the new emperor.Instead of getting together with Chunhe County Prince, this will lead to the annihilation of the clan.

Now that the new emperor has ascended the throne, the old noble families like King Beijing still want to support Prince Chun and Prince to ascend the throne. What if they are not seeking death?
However, Princess Zhen didn't bother to say that she was a smart person, so why bother to ruin her husband's happiness? It just so happened that the new emperor ordered him to shut up and think about it for two years. In these two years, it happened that there was less trouble and everyone lived a peaceful life.

As for the Zhen family sending their daughters into the palace, they made it very clear to the two generations of emperors through the mouth of the concubine that the Zhen family were not among the four princes and eight princes, they were simply slaves of the old saint.They work for the old saint and are loyal to the royal family, so they have no ambitions, they just want to live.

They were actually a little afraid of the Jia family's withdrawal. They were testing the Jia family to see why they had withdrawn so well.

The Zhen family was actually afraid, otherwise they would not have sent their daughter to the palace.The eldest girl and the second girl in their family both married well.Now that the three daughters have entered the palace, they are actually relieved that their home is temporarily safe.

Think about it, the old concubine only raised the old saint for a few days. Although she does not have the name of empress dowager, she has the actual status of empress dowager. Look at today's concubine Hui. She is obviously a biological mother, and she is not nothing.

Now they feel that it is the right time to send the 15-year-old three daughters into the palace. At least they are younger and much better than the 21-year-old Jia Yuan who is still a female official. At least they have time to slowly please the new emperor and even give birth to an emperor. Heir, regardless of gender, then the Zhen family will be stable.

The Zhen family doesn't want to be associated with the four bastards, they just want to keep the family.To put it bluntly, the current Zhen family's plate is too big to afford.

But they felt faintly uneasy in their hearts. At this time, they thought of the Jia family again.The Jia family is one of the four princes and eight princes, and the head of the four great families in Jinling. Because they were both officials in Jinling before, they established contact with the Zhen family.

The old ladies of the two families have been old friends for many years. The Zhen family does not doubt the wisdom of the old lady of the Jia family at all, but they may wonder, why did the old lady of the Jia family take Yuanchun out?

Although they all think it is a good idea, it is indeed smart to stop losses in time, but it is not the smartest thing.

Yuan Chun was already 21 years old at that time. In the opinion of the Zhen family, they should make some arrangements and let her work as a nanny in the palace of the new emperor and empress.to gain greater rights!This is an even more remarkable decision for the rejuvenation of the family.

The Jia family's structure has become smaller.But it’s also true that the small election that I sent my daughter to participate in before has no pattern.

But as they step by step escape from the predicament that these old saints and ministers were put in before, the Zhen family will fall into a long silence.

In fact, the poverty of the Zhen family is also described in the book, such as the Jia family repairing the garden, and then Jia Lian's wet nurse, Aunt Zhao, and the Jia Lian couple talked about ancient times, and said that the Zhen family took care of the family four times.The money was spent in the sea, and the money was not money at all.Wang Xifeng asked why the Zhen family was so rich.Aunt Zhao said that it was just the emperor's money that was spent on the emperor.Who has so much money to waste?Did you see that the Zhen family is not the Four Princes and Eight Dukes, nor is it the Four Great Families of Jinling, but he is the only one who has taken over the family four times. To a certain extent, he represents another force, which is the true confidant of the old saint.He was also the one who got tricked the most.Even if their descendants are powerful, they can't actually pay back the money that has gone to sea.
