Pingyang Fu of the Red Chamber

Chapter 211 The Jiangnan People Are Chosen

Inner City of Beijing,

Hall of Mental Cultivation,
Dai Quan was taken aback when he heard the words, how could the emperor think of him, is it really appropriate to just let King Zhongshun go?

"Your Majesty, this matter is of great importance, it is better to call the elders here to discuss."

As soon as this remark came out, Zhou Shihong naturally understood that something was inappropriate, and civil officials could not intervene in this matter, otherwise civil and military competition would be chaotic.

But Jiangnan can't be chaotic, and they can't let their aristocratic family grow bigger. They have to use ingenuity, but the difficulty lies in who can take on this big task.

"No, this matter still needs to be considered. I ask you, why did King Zhongshun fail?"

Dai Quan made a bitter face and had no choice but to reply;
"Your Majesty, do you remember the call for reinforcements from outside the Pass?"

Emperor Wu heard the words and completely dispelled the idea of ​​sending King Zhongshun to the south of the Yangtze River. The status of King Zhongshun in the heart of Emperor Wu Zhou Shihong plummeted in matters outside the pass.

I thought that King Zhongshun could do it, but I didn't think that the emperor's younger brother had great ambition and neglected righteousness, it was really useless. Thinking of the old capital of Jinling in the south of the Yangtze River, I don't know what's going on now.

Furthermore, the Zhen family firmly occupied Huangzhuang, a large area in the south of the Yangtze River. Ever since the king of Dongping County withdrew his military power and withdrew from the border of the south of the Yangtze River, the Zhen family had picked up most of it and ate most of it without fear of choking to death.

Thinking of Old Concubine Zhen of Changle Palace and Princess Beijing, Emperor Wu felt a little depressed, it was not the right time.

The Zhen family's actions were too fast, and that boy Beijing Wang Shuirong had fallen into the Zhen family's trap.

"Dai Quan, who else is in the Imperial City Division left behind in Jinling?"

"Returning to Your Majesty, the guards of the imperial horse supervisor and the four guards of the supervisor of rites, the left and right guards of Teng Xiang, and the left and right guards of Wu Xiang are all staying in Jinling University, and the people of the Imperial City Division are watching closely. "

Dai Quan thought for a moment, and blurted out that the Dawu court would stay behind in Jiangnan, just in case.

After hearing this, Emperor Wu was also very satisfied. These five guards were the elite of the Imperial Army, and they were all from the old battalion. He just didn't know how much the troops stationed in Jiangnan still had hearts for the imperial court.

"Dai Quan, inform the imperial guards Jinwu Guard, Habayashi Guard, Huben Guard, Fujun Guard, and the Jinling Five Guards to prepare to go south."

Dai Quan was shocked and said carefully;

"Your Majesty, think twice. The imperial guards in the capital must not move lightly. When the time is not up, patience is the most important thing."

Emperor Wu Zhou Shihong had a gloomy expression on his face, knowing that he was in a hurry, the Supreme Emperor was still there, and the soldiers could not move lightly without authorization, especially the Forbidden Army, if the Forbidden Army went south, the world would be shocked and rumors would spread everywhere.

But when will he be tall, I have endured for more than ten years, and I still have to endure, I am not reconciled.

"I know, let's just let it go, but how can I rest assured?"

Dai Quan wiped his sweat,

"Your Majesty, do you still remember the foreign reinforcements?"

Emperor Wu Zhou Shihong was awakened by Dai Quan's words. When he thought of reinforcements, he naturally thought of Luo Yunhou. He wanted to keep him in the capital to help him break the situation.

"I know, so Luo Yunhou is fine, but if he goes to the south of the Yangtze River, there will be more chaos. There are many families left behind in Jinling who have enmity with him."

Dai Quan also knew that about Luo Yunhou's mother and Jiangnan Jinling Jia's family, if Luo Yunhou couldn't hold back the knife and killed too much, it would be troublesome, but for now, this is the only way to go, Lin Ruhai can't wait much longer .

"Your Majesty, Luo Yunhou's going to Jiangnan is indeed a wonderful move, but Hou Ye's sword is too fast. Those people in Jiangnan don't know the ferocity outside the pass, and they are afraid that they will not be able to hold the sword at that time, which will be troublesome."

Emperor Wu pondered for a long time, thinking of Lin Ruhai's tragic situation, and those aristocratic families in the south of the Yangtze River, looked up at Dai Quan with red eyes, and said;
"I don't think so. Jiangnan has been in peace for a long time, and the upper and lower levels have formed cliques for selfishness, corruption and degeneration, and aristocratic families are rampant. It is time to let them know the suffering of the border. I wonder if all the border soldiers should go there for a visit."

"Your Majesty, absolutely not. The frontier army has been suffering for a long time. It would be a hole in the sky when they arrived in the rich and prosperous south of the Yangtze River. Dawu's taxes are all in the south of the Yangtze River."

Dai Quan was so frightened that he knelt down to persuade him. Emperor Wu also smiled, knowing the importance of Jiangnan.

"I don't know, it's because of this that they dare to act so boldly. If they don't pay attention to the imperial court, let the people from the Imperial City Division go to make an outpost first, and Luo Yunhou will wait for a few days."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Luoyunhou Mansion,

The spies sent by Ningbian also came to Ningrong Street in disguise.

After walking around for a long time, I came to the wicker alley, where I saw many members of the Jia family registering in the roster and chatting together.

I leaned over and asked;

"Brother, let me ask you something. What is this doing up front? Is it a good business?"

"Who are you? Where did you come from? This place belongs to Jia's family. We don't need anyone from outside. If we want to accept people from Jia's family, we still have to go wherever you come from."

A family member of the Jia family began to evict people after he finished speaking, and the other people also showed vigilance. Such a good job must be guarded by their own people, so how can it be the turn of outsiders to grab their jobs.

The spy had no choice but to take a look and left the alley, but after inquiring carefully at the small teahouse outside, he found out the ins and outs. It turned out that the second grandma of Rongguo Mansion recruited a buddy to run a business.

After waiting for another circle and finding nothing else, he went around a few times, returned to the Hou Mansion, and reported the matter to General Ningbian in detail.

Ning Bian didn't delay too much, and after listening, he came to the backyard.

"Master Hou, the spies are back."

Zhang Jinyu lay on the chair and squinted for a while, and when he heard Ning Bian's words, he also stretched and asked;
"What do you say? Is there something wrong with Jia Jiaming?"

Ningbyen cupped his fists and said;
"Master Hou is wise, the Rongguo Mansion is preparing a big banquet for the clansmen tomorrow, and they are busy preparing for it now, and outside, the second grandmother of the Rongguo Mansion, Wang Xifeng, is recruiting staff from the Jia family. It is said that it is for business. "

Zhang Jinyu, who was about to drink tea, knocked over the tea bowl with a trembling hand, and the tea splashed all over the table. Ning Bian hurried over to help,

"Master Hou, are you all right?"

Zhang Jinyu waved her hand, took the brocade cloth and wiped it,
"It's okay, what you said just now, the Rongguo Mansion banquet, are you sure?"

"Go back to Lord Hou, make sure, the spies you sent out are also veterans in the army. After watching there for a while, there shouldn't be any mistakes."

Ning Byon answered in the affirmative.

Zhang Jinyu was a little puzzled when he heard the words. Jia Lian was out of his mind, and even paid back the money on such an occasion. If something happened in the family, it would be impossible to use Jia's face as a bargaining chip.

Zhang Jinyu couldn't figure it out, and was afraid that the Ningguo Mansion and Rongguo Mansion conspired, and some moths were involved. After all, the Jia family had suffered so many times in their hands.

"Tomorrow, you bring the brothers from the Pioneer Battalion. There should not be too many people, just 200 people. Let's see what the Jia family wants to do?"

"It's Lord Hou. The general will know."

After Ning Bian reported, he wanted to leave, but suddenly thought of the greeting cards and invitations from the mansion, so he said;
"By the way, Lord Hou, Niu Jizong and other frontier generals want to entertain Lord Hou at the Zuixianlou, how to answer this matter."

"When did this happen?"

Zhang Jinyu now has a headache when he hears that he is drinking and going to a banquet, especially He Niu Jizong's violent drinkers.

"Go back to Lord Hou, about tonight."

Zhang Jinyu really didn't want to go, it's boring for a group of old men to drink there, the kiln sister in the brothel is not as comfortable as her own concubine, so she had to think of a way;

"Well, just say that the Marquis is not feeling well and refuse first, and wait for the next time, and the words of the reply should be tactful."

"Yes, the end will know."

Ning Bian also bowed his hands and left the door, Zhang Jinyu stood up and looked out the window, with a look of withering, only Hanmei stood proudly in the dry courtyard.

"It's a pity. Gumei is good, but there is no such beauty as a hundred flowers blooming. The Jia family still needs to get involved."

And the generals of the frontier army who had already set up a banquet in Zuixianlou also sat around and talked, waiting for the report from the servants.

"Brother Niu, do you think Marquis Luo Yun can come? We took the liberty to invite someone so suddenly."

Liu Fang muttered to the side.

Chen Ruiwen is also a big head, and now he is so careless about doing things, so he can't make arrangements in advance.

"I'm talking about you guys, so I can't tell you in advance. You can invite people here for dinner. How can there be such a reason? You are still dragging me out of the mansion tonight. Don't you know that we all have something to do?"

"What can you do? Could it be that the beautiful wife and concubine haven't hugged enough in the past two nights, and they still want to play for two days, can you do it?"

Hou Xiaolian also teased and said that the more they talked, the more they made a fool of themselves, so Niu Jizong had no choice but to speak to the waiter;

"Xiao Er, don't talk, quickly serve all the food you are good at, and bring the best knives to the four jars."

Although a few people were joking, they never thought that Niu Jizong would greet the child to serve food, and he hadn't arrived yet.

After all, Chen Ruiwen asked directly;

"Brother Niu, how come Luo Yunhou hasn't arrived yet, let's order the food first, isn't it too good?"

"That's right, Brother Niu,"

"Would you like to wait a little longer?"

Several people also persuaded.

Niu Jizong, on the other hand, sighed and said;
"Brothers, I, Lao Niu, forgot that Luo Yunhou should be busy with his marriage. You don't know it yet. When my grandmother came to the palace to meet the queen mother, she said that she would do a wedding for Luo Yunhou. I don't want to come." Hurry up, there is no time to drink with us here again."

"No way, this is not just engaged, so urgent?"

Shi Guangzhu didn't believe it either.

"It's not in a hurry, it's not like you don't know, because this girl, Marquis Luo Yun and Jia's family are making troubles all over the city. If you're still waiting, you won't be afraid of long nights and dreams."

"You mean the daughter of the Qin family, that's true. The Jia family didn't know what was going on, so they carried it with Luo Yunhou."

Liu Fang also sighed with emotion, and expressed the thoughts of several people.

suddenly,

While a few people were talking there, a servant from Zhen Guo Gong's family ran up from downstairs, and then saluted the generals, saying;
"General, this servant went to Luoyunhou's mansion to report the letter. The concierge of the Hou's mansion replied that Luoyunhou was cleaning up the attic for the old lady to move. He didn't have time to come here. Let the servant bring a message to the generals to forgive me for not being able to come here. The slave has no choice but to come back. Answered."

"Look, it's true, let's go on."

"It's the general."

After the food and wine were served, several people started to eat and drink without any hesitation.
