Red Mansion Soldiers

Chapter 180
In a secret pavilion in the imperial garden of Weiyang Palace, the emperor was receiving the Taiwei who suddenly entered the palace.

"This is really my eldest brother's private seal."

Rubbing the jade seal carved from white jade with a four-clawed python and dragon pattern, the emperor felt a little lost.

"That should be the case, Your Majesty. Prince Li has rarely used the word 'Yichun Sanren' externally, that is, he only uses it when writing letters to relatives and friends." Jia Hui said with certainty.

"Yes, the eldest brother was worried that us brothers would call him His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, and using him as the crown prince would create a gap between our brothers, so he took us together to take the number." The emperor fondly played with the ring that once belonged to his eldest brother. seal.

"The eldest brother took the title of 'Yichun Sanren', and the second brother took the title of 'Zhaixing Pavilion Master'. Oh, the stars, the sun and moon stars must be the stars." Thinking of his smiling tiger brother who only knows how to cheat people behind the scenes, the emperor's His complexion suddenly became as if he had taken a mouthful of golden juice.
"The fourth child loved plum blossoms the most, so he called himself 'Yimeike'. The fifth child just didn't choose a font name, and the sixth child died early."

When talking about Lao Liu, who is closest to him and likes to wander the streets, his expression becomes sad again.
"After that, they are much older than us, so we are not familiar with them. I don't know if they have a font size."

"Then what was the font size of the Holy Emperor?" Jia Hui asked the emperor subconsciously before he could wait for what he wanted to hear, and immediately regretted it.

"My font name? Haha, I haven't used it for so many years that I have almost forgotten it. What is it?" Hearing Jia Hui's question, the emperor was not angry. Since he became the emperor, he still couldn't handle the government affairs and had to work every day. If you go to Xiyuan and get scolded by the emperor, how can you have free time to tinker with things that can use private seals?

"It seems that the font size comes from Zhuangzi's "Xiaoyaoyou". What is it specifically?" The emperor rubbed his forehead and began to recall his own font size, but he still couldn't recall it.
"Big companion."

"I'm here!" Xia Shouzhong quickly stepped forward, flicked Fuchen and put it on his arm.

"Go and ask someone to find out if there are any calligraphy and paintings from my early years in the Weiyang Palace. If there are any, get them quickly." The emperor ordered Xia Shouzhong.

Xia Shouzhong quickly agreed and quickly walked to the palace gate to give instructions to the eunuchs.

"Speaking of which, Jinyu, eldest brother, he really has an heir still alive." The emperor looked at the jade seal in his hand, as if he was looking at his nephew who he had never met through the jade seal.

"I'm afraid, yes, and he's still an evil son." Jia Hui organized his language based on the information he heard from Li Sananniang.

"I heard from the Li family's wife that the pseudo-prince named Chen Pingyuan was born to the thin horse raised by the old prince Yi Zhong outside the house. The remnants of the East Palace called him 'Duan Fei', and he was not trusted by Yi Zhong at all. The old prince's treatment was as if he took in this foreign house and gave birth to this child just to vent his frustration."

"To vent your frustration, you have to vent it well. How did your father push your eldest brother back then? Let me tell you, eldest brother did it. Bah, bah, bah! Ahem, Jinyu, what did you hear just now?" The emperor, who almost said everything in his heart, finally stopped the car in time, and then squinted his eyes and looked at Jia Hui, who seemed to be wandering in the sky.

"Huh? Ah! I ask the Holy One to atone for my sins! I was distracted when the Holy One was speaking just now, and I didn't hear anything clearly."

"Ahem, cough, cough, I didn't tell you, Jinyu, you are now a great Lieutenant of Qi, why are you still making such small mistakes? Don't do this next time!" The emperor bluffed towards Jia Hui. Bu Itchi lectured a few words, and then turned around with a guilty look on his face, as if nothing had happened just now.
"So, my nephew Pingyuan has been beaten by his elder brother since he was a child?"

Pingyuan nephew?

It seems that the emperor has softened his heart and subconsciously wants to save him.
Hearing the emperor's address to the pseudo-prince, Jia Hui understood.

"It should be, and I also heard that the Li family lady mentioned that the Duan Concubine was killed by Wei Ci. Even after he settled down in the Qinling Mountains, the false prince was often killed by Wei Ci and a man named Sun Laodao. of.
There were several people with the surname Sun in the East Palace at that time. Based on the belief of that person, I think it should be Sun Zhiming, a scholar of Zuo Chunfang in Zhanshi Mansion."

"Sun Zhiming? I remember that he didn't follow his elder brother to commit suicide. He escaped from his golden cicada shell!" The emperor figured it out instantly.

"I think so too. After all, it's not impossible to hastily close the case without even looking at the remnants of the East Palace." Jia Hui sneered.

The situation in the court during the Yonglong period (the last reign used by the emperor) is such that one can only say "Who in the world cannot access the East Palace"!

After all, I am in my 50s and almost [-]s in the Imperial City, and I am starting to have some minor health problems.

In addition, he did a good job as the crown prince back then. When the emperor went out to patrol the world and ordered him to supervise the country, he was able to deal with people and government affairs with ease. In this regard, everyone agreed that the next emperor of Qi would be The dust of belonging has settled.

At that time, even the most loyal and stubborn ministers began to slowly get in touch with the young master's family, and it was as if "everyone has unanimously decided that you will be the next emperor."

But the bad thing about this is that Prince Li thinks so too!

In response to the overtures of many ministers, this gentleman did not reject them and accepted them completely. He looked as if he had decided on the status of king and minister. During the period of supervising the country, he even surpassed the emperor and directly promoted his so-called reforms.
What he did naturally touched the bottom line of Lao Long, and soon, counterattacks from the emperor who had been in Yuji for nearly forty years followed one after another. He had been the eldest son since his birth, and joined the army for training. With many righteousness, he defeated his younger brother. When we become princes, we can say that everything goes smoothly for the rest of our lives. Prince Li, who is proud from the bottom of his heart, is shattered.

He launched a mutiny beyond everyone's expectations, and was put down by Jia Daishan who responded quickly.
Beyond everyone's expectations!
The ministers who were secretly in contact with the prince were panicked. If they were involved in a major case due to the rebellion in the East Palace, their homes would be confiscated and exiled, or the whole family would be on the road!
They are not allowed to investigate the Donggong rebellion case carefully!

The emperor also knew this very well. If it were a few decades ago, or even five years ago, he would have killed hundreds of people and would never tolerate it.

At worst, we have to fight the world all over again!What my ancestors could do, why can't I do it?

But as he got older, his body began to suffer from some minor problems, and he lost his courage!
"Ahem, let's just talk about these things in private. After all, they are still alive, right!" The emperor smiled and ended the topic.

"Then, Your Majesty, how should we deal with this false prince?" Now that the emperor has ended the topic, Jia Hui will naturally not continue talking. There is no need.

"Alas" the topic of how to deal with Chen Pingyuan could not be escaped after all. The emperor sighed, "Jinyu, he is the eldest brother's heir after all, and he is already pitiful enough, and he is still a villain. He must be the sandalwood card. Right? If there is no accident, bah bah bah, there will be no accident. With his status, there is absolutely no chance of tainting the throne."

The emperor was silent for a moment.

"Since he wants to bring some people with him, let them come back. After all, they are also the descendants of Daqi's meritorious service.
If they are pretending to surrender, try to capture them alive if you can, but not if you can.”

The emperor's face revealed a hint of helplessness.

"Just give him some dignity."

"I obey the decree." Jia Hui stood up and bowed to the emperor.

I understand, even if he surrenders, he won't be able to cause trouble based on his status, and he won't spend much money to raise him in the future.

But if it's a fake surrender, then kill him. He was given a chance anyway, so who can blame him for not being able to grasp it?

. . . . . .

"Suck, suck, burp!"

Bang!A large bowl was thrown onto the table, and it spun around several times before settling safely on the table.

"Hic! Comfortable!"

Li Sananniang gently rubbed her belly and lay half on the chair, burping and humming.

"Hiccup! I haven't felt so comfortable after eating for a long time."

Tsk tsk, look how hungry this girl is.
Finally, he remembered who she was, and witnessed the young lady of the Li family having sex with Sanhai Bowl of Noodles all at once. Eleven, who was standing behind her and closely monitoring her, had a face full of sighs.

He, Hu Jiu, and the traitor Jin Wenxiang (Yuanyang's brother) who betrayed the general and joined the old lady's army were all personal followers who grew up with the general since childhood. Naturally, they had met Li Baihu, who guarded the gate of the East Palace. Daughter.

Hu Jiu even had a crush on her for a while, and said that he would go to Li Baihu's house to propose marriage in the future after following the general and making achievements on the battlefield.
What a pity. Alas, fate.

"Hiccup! Hey hey. Eleven, we haven't seen each other for a few years. How have you been lately?" Li Sananniang picked up the tea cup from the table and drank the tea. She turned to look at Eleven and smiled as she approached him.

"I, it's okay. It took me so many years to earn the title of a fifth-grade General Wu Jie. I can't compare with Hu Jiu. He has already graduated from a fourth-grade General Xuanwu."

"Pfft! What the hell? The fifth grade, the fourth grade?" Li Sananniang took a sip of tea and looked at her former acquaintance in disbelief.

"Ah, yes, it's just because of the sticky general's light that we earned it by destroying two countries in a row." Eleven looked at the dumbfounded Li family lady with a plain face, feeling uncontrollably happy in his heart.
"By the way, you are married to that guy Cui He, right?"

"Yes, what's wrong?" Li Sananniang became more energetic when she asked about her husband, but she felt a little discouraged when she thought about the current status of these two cubs.
"It's nothing, I just feel sorry for Hu Jiu." Eleven sighed softly, feeling a little regretful.

"Cui He and I have a very good relationship, and Hu Jiu deserves better." After another sip of tea, Li Sanniang, who was usually carefree, became a little silent and calmly expressed her attitude.

She has no regrets at all about marrying Cui He.

In fact, she had known for a long time that Hu Jiu, the personal attendant of Young Master Hui of Rongguo Mansion, liked her. After all, there was someone looking directly at her every day, and it was difficult not to notice it.
But she didn't feel anything for Hu Jiu. If she didn't feel anything, she just didn't feel anything.

What's more, with her identity here, she didn't want to marry a son of a family who didn't know whether he could turn around, even if he was a son of the Duke's family.

"That's good, we can start planning Hu Jiu's marriage."

Since the Li family's wife and Cui He have a very good relationship, what else can I say?

"What? Hu Jiu isn't married yet?"

The dignified fourth-grade Wu Sanguan hasn't even gotten married yet?Li Sananniang was a little surprised.

"Yes, the Taiwei wanted to marry Suyun, the mistress's personal maid, to Hu Jiulai, but Hu Jiu said that he still pretended to be this person in his heart and wanted to wait." Eleven looked at the silent wife of the Li family and said, He said calmly.

Jia Hui had no feelings for Suyun at all and was completely uninterested.

But Suyun's own conditions are quite good. It would be a pity to be a maid and a mother-in-law for the rest of her life.Jia Hui wanted to marry her to his own soldier leader Hu Jiu, and Su Yun agreed early. After all, she was just a maid, and the Taiwei uncle didn't like her, so she gave up her plan to become an aunt in the prince's mansion.

After all, the Jia family had a precedent for this matter. The old lady of Rongguo Mansion was the dowry maid. Later, Aunt Lai was not favored by the old lady, so she was married off by the old lady!

And to be able to marry a promising fourth-grade military general as his wife is so much better than what Grandma Lai married back then!This may be her only chance in her life, and she must seize it!

What's more, Hu Jiu's appearance is not bad, and his ability is even better.
However, Hu Jiu was very resistant. After Jia Hui and his wife learned the reason, the matter was temporarily shelved.

"Oh, the Duke's wife's personal maid? From what I hear, she is a well-educated, talented and beautiful woman. When they get married, she must ask him to invite us to a wedding banquet!" Li Sananniang raised her head very naturally. Come on, he said happily.

Tsk, Hu Jiu, Hu Jiu, even if people look down on you, you should be worried!
Eleven looked sad, and suddenly there was a burst of messy footsteps outside the door, accompanied by the man's suppressed crying, running farther and farther away.
Oh, no, it’s not like that. We haven’t seen each other for many years, how can we still cry like this?

I didn’t expect that this guy Hu Jiu is still a love interest!

"Hey, what's wrong with this kid Hu Jiu? Why are you still crying!" A familiar voice came from outside the door. Eleven who was sitting next to him and Li Sananniang who was half lying on the chair quickly stood up.

"See you, General/Lieutenant!" The two men quickly saluted Jia Hui who came in through the door.

"No courtesy, please sit down." Jia Hui waved his hand towards them.

The two agreed, and Eleven quickly stood up and stood behind Jia Hui. Li Sananniang also stood obediently opposite Jia Hui, waiting for him to speak.

"What's wrong with Hu Jiu? He's crying like that." Jia Hui asked Eleven as he picked up the tea poured for him by the soldiers next to him.

"General, this matter is not complicated this time. In fact, this lady from the Li family is Hu Jiu's sweetheart." At this point, Shi Yi stopped talking.

"I understand, the fantasy is broken." Jia Hui understood instantly.

"Ahem, Shiyi, let Suyun in Madam's yard comfort Hu Jiu later, and let them cultivate their relationship."

"Here!" Eleven responded quickly.

"Well, then it's your business." Jia Hui nodded, then looked at Li Sananniang.

"Li Li, what are you doing?"

"The civilian girl has no name. Among the sisters surnamed Li in the East Palace, she is ranked 30th in age. The lieutenant can just call the civilian girl Li Sananniang." Li Sananniang said to Jia Hui calmly and generously.

"Okay, Thirty-year-old Niang, the Holy Father has agreed to your matter, so the pseudo-prince Chen Pingyuan and you gangsters can bring order out of chaos and return to the embrace of the imperial court!
Come, let’s discuss the details anyway.”
