Corrupt official in the Red Chamber

Chapter 413 The Jinling Incident Begins

Jia Rui was not in the mood to stay with Xue Baochai anymore. He put on some clothes casually and hurried out of the room.

As soon as he arrived in the yard, Qin Shun slipped over to Jia Rui's side.

"My lord, what do you have to say to your servant?"

Jia Rui put on his sleeves and walked out, "Go to Aunt Baoqin's place."

Qin Shun quickly followed Jia Rui out of the courtyard, and a dozen eunuchs followed Jia Rui to Xue Baoqin's courtyard.

When I entered the yard, I saw that the lights were brightly lit, and the sound of Xue Baoqin's vomiting could be heard from time to time in the room.

Jia Rui hurriedly entered the room and saw Xue Baoqin lying in front of the spittoon, vomiting non-stop. Her personal maid was patting her back carefully.

"What's going on? Wasn't it fine just now? Why did you vomit like this?"

As Jia Rui spoke, he took the place of the maid and patted Xue Baoqin on the back.

Xue Baoqin's face was pale from vomiting and her body was crumbling. Seeing Jia Rui coming, she was like an injured kitten seeing its owner coming, with a look full of pleading for mercy.

Jia Rui shivered with distress, "Where's the imperial doctor? Why aren't you here yet?"

"My lord, we have sent people to look for him," Qin Shun said quickly.

Jia Rui glared at him angrily, and then said, "Why are there no people on duty?"

Qin Shun lowered his head in fear, not even daring to look at Jia Rui.

"Why don't you hurry up and hurry up? What are you doing here?" Jia Rui became even more angry when he saw Qin Shun's stupidity.

Qin Shun was so frightened that he ran out crawling.

After arriving outside, Qin Shun immediately called several eunuchs to his side, "Immediately send someone to the imperial hospital and ask them to find all the eunuchs on duty. Tell them that if they miss something, our family wants his Brain.”

After continuous urging, the doctor from the Imperial Hospital finally came.

It is also a coincidence that the person on duty today is Dr. Wang, an old friend of the Jia family.

In addition to him, there were several imperial physicians of different ages following behind him, all of whom were on duty.

After arriving, these people were led into Xue Baoqin's yard.

But once they got here, they couldn't go in anymore and had to wait outside the courtyard.

Qin Shun breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that the Taoist had finally arrived, and then hurried into the room to report to Jia Rui.

When they entered the room, they saw that Xue Baoqin had gotten better and was lying on the bed weakly. Jia Rui was sitting on the bedside, comforting her.

At this time, Xue Baochai also came to Xue Baoqin. She was holding Xue Baoqin's head and massaging her.

"My lord, the imperial doctor has arrived." Qin Shun came to Jia Rui's side and said cautiously.

"Now that you're here, call him in quickly." Jia Rui said casually without even looking at Qin Shun.

Qin Shun quickly went out to call someone.

After a while, several imperial doctors headed by Imperial Physician Wang entered the room.

After they came in, they quickly knelt down and kowtowed to Jia Rui.

Jia Rui waved his hand, "Stop being polite and show Aunt Baoqin a quick look."

Several doctors looked at each other and then recommended Dr. Wang to look at it first.

Because everyone knows that the relationship between Dr. Wang and the Jia family is unusual, he should take the first look and set the rules for everyone, so that if something goes wrong later, Mr. Jia will be blamed and they will suffer.

Doctor Wang originally didn't want to take this job, but he had no choice but to carefully move forward, and then knelt down in front of Xue Baoqin's bed.

Then he asked the maid to get a brocade handkerchief and put it on Xue Baoqin's wrist.

After that, he started to feel Xue Baoqin's pulse through the brocade handkerchief.

After a while, Doctor Wang's frown relaxed. He knelt back a step, then kowtowed to Jia Rui and said:

"Congratulations, Lord Marquis. Congratulations, Lord Marquis. This aunt is not sick, but she is pregnant."

Jia Rui was pleasantly surprised after hearing this.

You must know that Xue Baoqin is his favorite aunt. Although Jia Rui often farmed, she never bore fruit.

Jia Rui was still a little regretful about this. Now that he heard that Xue Baoqin was finally pregnant, Jia Rui was happy from the bottom of his heart.

"Okay, are you sure?"

"My lord, I have seen it right, and there will be no mistake." Dr. Wang said categorically.

"Okay, okay, reward, each person will be rewarded with ten taels of gold." Jia Rui was so happy that he forgot about himself.

Qin Shun quickly agreed and then invited the imperial doctors out.

At this time, Jia Rui also came to the bed, held Xue Baoqin's hand and said, "You heard it, it's not that you are sick, you are."

Xue Baoqin blinked her beautiful big eyes, and a smile appeared on her face. At the same time, a blush appeared on her face, making her face become more beautiful.

Xue Baochai was also happy for her sister, "Okay, okay, now you must be happy."

After saying this, she tapped Xue Baoqin's forehead with her finger.

Xue Baoqin was a little embarrassed by Xue Baochai, so she hid her head under the quilt and never came out.

It was finally okay, and Jia Rui was relieved to rest. However, Xue Baochai did not leave. She stayed with Xue Baoqin and began to tell her what she should pay attention to after pregnancy. Jia Rui could only go back and sleep with Brother Ying for one night.

Early the next morning, Jia Rui came to Xue Baoqin to visit her. Seeing that she had nothing to do and didn't care about eating, he hurriedly left to go to the palace to handle matters.

After Jia Rui entered the palace, he came to the Yangxin Hall, where he had a breakfast prepared in the imperial dining room.

To say that the breakfast in the imperial dining room is just that, it mainly looks good. To say it is strange, it is not as delicious as the one in Jia Rui's house.

For example, many seasonal vegetables will not appear in the breakfast in the imperial dining room.

The imperial kitchen is also very confident, "If the emperor is made naughty and insists on eating summer vegetables in winter and autumn vegetables in summer, won't they all have to hang themselves?"

After eating, Jia Rui handled the memorial in Yangxin Hall.

In the next few days, there was nothing going on here in Jia Rui, but the news that he had appointed himself prime minister, joined Wu Guogong, and joined Jiuxi spread throughout the country.

Especially in Jinling, Zhen Dianlun was overjoyed after hearing the news.

He did not expect that Jia Rui would dare to be so heartless. He had only imprisoned the emperor for a few days and then dared to throw the royal family's face into the ground.

Therefore, Zhen Diangling secretly contacted several important figures in Jinling that night.

Taken together, they now have nearly 10,000 troops in Jinling. They just lack a reason to send troops.

After Jia Rui did this, they also had a reason.

So these people agreed to start an uprising in Jinling three days later, and then called on the soldiers of King Qin from all over the world to go north together.

The reason why Zhen Diaolun has such confidence is because with the wealth accumulated by his Zhen family over several lifetimes, coupled with his prestige, as long as he makes a call from a high position, Jiangnan should respond with enthusiasm.

But they didn't know that what they discussed at night had been completely discovered by the Intelligence Department. That night, a carrier pigeon took off from Jinling Mansion and headed straight for the capital.

In addition, the Jinling Jiedushi also left Jinling City on the same day and came to the military camp outside Jinling City, and then lived there permanently.

In addition, Song Jian's cavalry troops, which were originally near the capital, also began to move south.

Three days later, the Supreme Emperor passed away, and a month later, Zhen Dianlun announced in Jinling that he would launch troops to serve as King Qin.

On this day, Zhen Dianlun was very high-spirited. He first offered sacrifices to the Supreme Emperor in the suburbs and asked famous scholars in Jiangnan to write an essay against Jia Rui.

This appeal is very wonderfully written, and it can be said to be a wonderful piece of writing.

After that, he returned to Jinling City and asked his servants and newly recruited soldiers to take over the defense of Jinling.

I don't know if Zhen Dianlun is really stupid or too naive. He has already raised troops in Jinling and has not even asked about the attitude of Jinling Jiedushi.

What's even more terrible is that Jinling City not only has a land gate, but also a water gate.

And this fatal flaw is still in the hands of the Yangtze River Navy.

And who was the last military governor of the Yangtze River Navy? It was Jia Rui's general Tang Zhen.

This almost left a city gate for the counter-rebellion army, allowing them to enter the city at will.

Jia Rui received the message spread by Zhen Dianlun on the third day after Zhen Dianlun raised troops in Jinling.

At that time, Jia Rui was discussing the burial matters of the Supreme Emperor with Chen Guozi in the Yangxin Hall.

When the two of them were talking about being devoted, Qin Shun slipped through the wall into the Hall of Cultivation of the Heart, and then quietly came to Jia Rui's side.

Jia Rui looked at him.

Qin Shun quickly winked at Jia Rui.

Jia Rui waved, and Qin Shun quickly stepped forward and whispered a few words in Jia Rui's ear.

Jia Rui frowned, then stretched out his hand. Qin Shun quickly handed a notebook to Jia Rui's hand.

Jia Rui opened the book and looked at it carefully, and finally saw the appeal.

After reading it, Jia Rui smiled, and then said to Chen Guozi who was standing aside: "Take a look, some people say I am Wang Mang."

As he spoke, Jia Rui handed the notebook to Chen Guozi.

Chen Guozi carefully took the fruit book, opened it and read it again, then lowered his head and stopped talking.

"Master Chen, what do you think we should do next?"

Chen Guozi lowered his head and said nothing.

Jia Rui stood up, walked to Chen Guozi's side, and patted him on the shoulder, "You, what are you doing for? You want to wade through this muddy water at such an old age? If you hadn't returned to Beijing then, you wouldn't be able to do it now. Is it so difficult?”

Chen Guozi's face turned pale after hearing Jia Rui's words.

He raised his head and glanced at Jia Rui, then said, "Why did Mr. Jia say this?"

Jia Rui laughed and said, "Prince Yizhong has already set off from Ryukyu and should arrive in Beijing in the next two days."

Chen Guoxin's face became even paler when he heard the name Prince Yizhong.

Jia Rui glanced at him, and then said: "After handling the matter of the Supreme Emperor, your merits have been completed. Then you can retire and return to your hometown."

The reason why Jia Rui is relatively tolerant to him is because so far, the old man has not done anything bad to Jia Rui.

In order to show his tolerance and kindness, Jia Rui didn't care to let the old man return to his hometown for retirement.
