Pingyang Fu of the Red Chamber

Chapter 14 Behind the forces in the capital
Great Wu Empire,

Central Plains Zhongzhou,

capital city,

Nancheng Residence, one of the big houses,

The secret contact point of the White Lotus Sect in the capital, as the saying goes, is hidden in the city, and no one has known it for many years.

underground chamber,
The right protector of the White Lotus Sect sat there, looking at the beautiful leader in fascination. After so many years, he still looks the same, but thinking of what the leader has done, he can't help but shudder all over. This is a woman with a heart like a snake.

"Guardian right, what are you thinking?"

A clear voice came from my ear,

The protector on the right was terrified,
"Reporting to the leader, I didn't think about anything, just thinking about the question asked by the leader,"

"Oh? Then what did you think of?"

"Master Hui, I really guessed where the saint went?"

"Say!"

"Master, we have been in the Central Plains and the south for so many years, but we haven't found it. Only the northwest and northeast of the Great Wu Empire can go."

"Then did you find it?"

"I've looked for it, but the place is too big, and there has been no progress in the past few years, especially because there is no way to send people outside the customs. The Jurchens, Donghu people, Yuezhi people, and Xianbei people, no matter who we are, they are all captured as slaves." , so I can only secretly stare at Guardian Zuo and the Saintess faction."

"But what is certain is that they must have a connection, and the order of Saint Wei is obeyed. So I don't think unless Guardian Zuo speaks out, they really can't find it."

The right protector smiled wryly.

"The Holy Maiden is amazing. She has been hidden for so many years. It's a pity that people from the two sects of our religion will not be able to accomplish anything if they work together!"

Master Bailian felt a little sorry.

"Then we can take down Guardian Zuo, or seduce him."

The leader mockingly stared at the right protector,
"In this position, who is an idiot who can really take it down? Right now, at least the two factions ignore each other and don't interfere with each other. If we don't manage to fight among ourselves, our White Lotus Sect will be finished first, and we'll wait for the Great Wu court to come." Destroy us."

"As for the seduction you mentioned, you haven't seen any woman before, he is a diehard saint! We're gone, let's leave it at that, let's strengthen our strength, and don't make it too obvious everywhere."

Speaking of this, the leader of Bailian suddenly lost his interest.

"Yes, follow the orders of the Hierarch."

The aristocratic district of the capital,
Ningrong Street,
At the Ningguo Mansion in the west, Jia Zhen passed by the civil and military officials in the court hall. She was exhausted from the fierce bloody wind and rain. When she returned home, she drank a saliva and hurried away without even changing her official uniform. Let the wife talk about it and see what effect it has.

Enter through the side door,
The concierge greeted immediately when he saw her.

"I've seen Master Jane, who is this?"

"Don't bother me, the old lady is still in Rongxi Hall?"

"If you go back to Master, yes, Master Zheng and Master Hao are both here!"

"Got it, I'll go by myself."

After finishing speaking, he ignored the porter and walked straight to Rongxi Hall.

As soon as he entered the room, he saw Uncle Zheng and Uncle Hao were there, and Mother Jia was lying there under the service of Yuanyang, listening to the two masters report on the court meeting this morning.

"I met my second uncle and uncle, and my great-uncle."

After Jia Zhen came in, she also bowed respectfully.

"Oh, Brother Zhen is here. Sit down and listen to today's events. I heard that the court is not peaceful today?"

Jia Zhen was not polite, she pulled a stool aside and sat down.

Replied; "Who says no! Grandma, I don't know what's going on at all? Anyway, the civil and military ministers are fighting each other, and I am also advancing and retreating with the second uncle Zheng and Uncle Hao. How can a general guarding the city be raised so high? The location, it's not right!"

"Don't talk nonsense, this is what the Second Saint has decided."

Jia Zheng quickly stopped Jia Zhen from talking nonsense.

Jia Amnesty also glared at Jia Zhen.

"What the second brother said is right. After the court's decision, don't talk about it. Be careful that the walls have ears. Besides, it doesn't control the interests of our nobles. It's just that there will be a tiger in the future."

"Mother also thinks highly of that general. I heard that he just passed the crown ceremony and took over his father's title and position. If it wasn't for King Zhongshun's bad luck this time, it would be his turn to command an army of 20 troops. Besides, Is it possible to survive? Huang Jitai's army is not vegetarian."

Jia Amnesty said sarcastically and enviously.

"Boss, this is because you have shallow eyes. My old lady really doesn't understand what you men are talking about about war, but when your father was around, I also knew that wars don't depend on numbers of people. It depends on the right time, place, and people, and even logistics. If the important thing depends on the number of people, why do you fight? People go directly to that station, and whoever has the most wins."

Mother Jia directly refuted Jia Amnesty's words, and her tone was not very good.

"Mother, I didn't mean that, it's just that this kid is really lucky!"

Jia Amnesty was a little unconvinced, and Jia Zheng and Jia Zhen were also a little envious.

"You guys, this luck is also a part of strength. Why isn't God on your side! Isn't that right? Besides, if you fight to the death on the battlefield, which one of you can go?"

Mother Jia saw through what the three of them were thinking, so she pointed it out. When the three of them heard that they were going to die on the battlefield, all of them stopped talking. What they said was also that if they risked their lives to get the title, they had to weigh it in their hearts.

"What my mother said was, then would this Master Hou directly judge his life or death?"

Jia Zheng asked from the side.

"It's not that simple. The reinforcements this time are 20, and there is a fortified city to defend. How can it be so easy to take down? This time, the purpose of the emperor is to stabilize the hearts of the soldiers and the generals. You will die if you say it, where did you hear it? You are blind in both civil and military affairs, so you can’t see the doorway clearly, so I want you to guess.”

"No, everyone in the Ministry of War said it was a suicide note."

"That's right, suicide note, is it written by a living person or a dead person?"

Mother Jia interrupted Jia Zheng directly,

"Return to mother, written by a living person."

"That's it, let's talk about it after the person is dead. Now you two are also ready to go. If this battle, Zhang Houye survives, he will be a real top honor, and he can also be said to be the future king of the Northeast." You have found a way to make friends with him, as long as the affairs outside the customs are not passed, he will not be able to do it."

Only then did Mother Jia say the core,
"Of course, if there is an accident, everything will be over."

"Yes, my son knows."

"Grandmother, Zhen'er also knows!"

The eldest Jia Amnesty, the second eldest Jia Zheng and the Ningfu Jia Zhen also nodded cautiously.

"By the way, didn't you also say that you would give him some concubine and a house, have you decided?"

"Go back to mother, not yet!"

"Okay, let me know when you're done. Go back and rest, too!"

"Yes, mother (grandmother), we'll be back."

Pingyang County City,

living room,
Imperial City Secretary Qianhu and Shen Baichuan walked back and forth in the living room excitedly. When he received the secret letter from the capital, his face was full of disbelief.

original,

Since Shen Baichuan and Shen Qianhu sent out the secret letter overnight, they have not slept, and their hearts are also uneasy.

It was a night of waiting,

He was in a hurry and waited for the capital to reply.

It wasn't until early in the morning, when the sky was bright, that they received two secret letters from the capital.

Received the first letter, the one for me was a secret letter written by the Prime Minister Dai Quan himself,

The meaning of the letter is;

One is that the imperial court understands that they are loyal, so they now promote themselves to be the Secretary of the Northeast Imperial City, responsible for commanding all the personnel of the Imperial City Department outside the Northern Pass.

In order to pass on the decree, the second generation met General Zhang Jinyu in person to convey the decree in place.

The third is to secretly monitor Zhang's mansion after the confession, and report any changes in time.

Shen Baichuan knew that he and Zhang Jinyu had successfully conspired, but he didn't know what General Zhang's reward was?
Looking at the obviously brighter red sealing lacquer in his hand, he felt envious in his heart. During wars, military commanders are rewarded more generously, not to mention that with his heart, everything must be calculated.

Shen Baichuan's mind is tactful, he is already a person on the same boat, if he can go to a higher level, then I can still do it, it's not impossible.

While waiting in the living room for a while, Shen Baichuan had already thought through the pros and cons of the matter in his heart, and made up his mind to hug Jinyu's tight thigh.

After coming out of Dongyun Building,
Zhang Jinyu walked towards the living room without haste,
On the way, I already know the general content. As long as the court still wants the Northeast, or wants to be quiet and decent, it will definitely give me an official promotion.

This time it is expected to be given to an uncle, and he will be named a marquis after making meritorious service later, that is the top nobleman.
