Red Mansion: Bastards rule the roost

Chapter 272 Leshi Wuhuan 2

Empress Chen frowned slightly. She knew very well that Jia Cong was cunning and Sun Chi was bold. What the hell were they doing?

Emperor Xifeng frowned and took a look at the book.

"The report is that the Tartars were newly defeated and lost 40,000 troops. Their clan was empty and it was time for a serious attack. Therefore, they decided to fight to the death. I respectfully folded the secret report and prayed for the Holy Spirit: In the early September of the ninth year of Xifeng, I They annihilated more than 40,000 Baalhu Tatars in the Razor Valley outside the pass. They returned to the city and thought about it again and again, thinking that this was a good opportunity to attack them.

There are three reasons for this:

First, the Baerhu tribe suffered heavy casualties at the foot of Fengtian City last year, and their strength has not yet recovered. Now they have suffered another defeat, the clan leader died, and they lost 40,000 soldiers. It is expected that the clan will be extremely empty, so it is inevitable that they will die if they are warlike.

Secondly, our army has strong soldiers and horses, and the morale of the army is usable. Our officers and men have been looking for the enemy for a long time but can't find it. Now that we have a good opportunity, how can we not risk our lives to kill the thieves and repay His Majesty's heavenly favor in case of any eventuality?

Thirdly, the Jurchen tribes admired the holy virtues of the Celestial Dynasty and voluntarily sent 30,000 troops to help the king's army to fight against the evil. Could it be that His Majesty is a saint at home and a king at the outside, and he has gained a lot of help?

There are three benefits:

One is to dig out the roots of the barbarians and weaken the manpower of the Tatars. The two used the water and grassland outside the pass to stir up disputes between the Jurchen Tatars. Since the three and two tigers are fighting each other, the Tatars are unable to look south, and the Jurchen tribes have returned to the heaven.

I was afraid that the opportunity would be fleeting and I would not be able to ask for the emperor's orders, so I boldly took action on my own, imitating the story of the champion Huo, and with the determination to die, I led my troops out of the border and went deep into the grassland, marching under the stars and night, and going straight to the enemy's nest while eating the sun.

That territory must be leveled to ensure peace on the border and repay His Majesty's holy grace. The ancients said that a man should die in the wilderness and be wrapped in horse leather and his ears buried. Your Majesty, you will die for your country on the battlefield, why should you return your body wrapped in horse leather?

I only hope that your majesty will take care of your dragon body, develop your ambitions, and accomplish great things for a long time, so that even if I die, I will still be alive.

Based on my humble opinion, I will spread it out carefully and beg the emperor for instructions and implement it.

Enqiwei and Jia Cong, the garrison minister of Liaohai Guard, would like to write this final poem. "

Emperor Xifeng read Jia Cong's "legacy", thought for a moment, and guessed his secret plan, and laughed angrily.

Said: "Queen and Concubine Yuan, look at it. This bastard Jia Cong is actually playing such clever tricks in front of me. He has a death wish, a final work, and a legacy. You don't know, and he says that he wants to go to peace." The Golden Horde.

He died at the age of seventeen, which can be regarded as the first of its kind to found a dynasty. He also asked me to give instructions and implement them. He has already led his troops to go on an expedition. What more instructions should I give? "

Queen Chen shook her head and smiled without saying a word.

Concubine Yuan hurriedly knelt down to plead guilty: "Brother Cong acted boldly and recklessly, and I neglected to discipline my concubine. Please punish me."

Although Emperor Xifeng was angry with Jia Cong for provoking border provocations, according to him, it was indeed a good opportunity, and he was still a little touched by his loyalty. However, the border general went on an expedition privately, and this trend must not last long.

Yin waved his hand and said: "Concubine Yuan is dead. Jia Cong went out to attack the barbarians privately. What does it have to do with you?"

Concubine Yuan stood up tremblingly. Seeing that Emperor Xifeng didn't seem angry, she felt a little relieved and secretly scolded Jia Cong for being careless. She was really frightened several times because of his affairs.

"Ouch! No! Now that Jia Cong is out of seclusion, how can Brother Chi not join in the fun?" Empress Chen immediately realized that Sun Chi was still in Liaodong.

Emperor Xifeng's face darkened and he took another book. Sure enough, Yang Xiong reported to Sun Chi that he was eager to serve the country and followed Jia Cong out of the country. General Xu Biao had already led his troops to protect him.

Shit, eager to serve the country! Bullshit tailgating! These two bastards!

The little emotion Emperor Xifeng had just felt suddenly vanished. He slapped the book on the table, knocked over the imperial cup, and shouted: "Pass the decree, order Prince Zuo Zongzheng and Zhongxin to immediately go north to Liaodong to bring Sun Chi and Jia Cong to justice." Bring these two bastards back to me immediately!"

"Yes." Dai Quan hurriedly agreed and walked away without touching the ground.

Concubine Yuan was panic-stricken, so she rescued the tenth prince, then took him out to fight again, or went deep into enemy territory to fight privately. Brother Cong was here to collect the Jia family's account.

Queen Chen glanced at Concubine Yuan comfortingly, smiled bitterly at Emperor Xifeng and said: "Your Majesty, these two boys are not economical lamps. They can no longer stay at the border, otherwise General Yang may come to the border one day." If there is a 'relic', then it will be troublesome."

Emperor Xifeng pinched his temples and nodded, feeling both love and hate in his heart. Jia Cong was a talented guy, but his actions were often unexpected, which really gave him a headache.

Seeing Concubine Yuan looking pitifully on the side, Emperor Xifeng waved his hand: "Concubine Yuan, don't panic, this matter has nothing to do with you. Go and rest.

When someone came, he sent an edict to the Rongguo Mansion, instructing the first-class general Jia She and his imperial edicts to state that he was incompetent in running his family and had no way to teach his children, which resulted in Jia Cong being lawless and stubborn. "
-

Rongguo Mansion, Rongqing Hall

Jia's mother, two gentlemen, wives and sisters were present. No one said a word. The atmosphere in the hall was so tense that it was almost suffocating.

Baochai and Daiyu held hands anxiously and looked at each other. They both saw the panic in each other's eyes. Brother Cong was in trouble again.

Angels were sent from the palace just now to give Jia She and Mrs. Xing a severe scolding. They were so frightened that they didn't know what was going on and kowtowed to apologize.

After finally spending a lot of money to buy the news from the angel, it turned out that Jia Cong secretly sent troops out of the border and went deep into the grassland to attack the Tatars. That was all. He also took the tenth prince out, which made His Majesty furious.

After sending the angel away, Jia She was so angry that he felt dizzy and burned inside. He sat in his chair speechless. Jia Cong’s father, who is usually so angry that he doesn’t even talk about it, suddenly gets angry and doesn’t get any benefits. When he gets into trouble, he still has to take the blame and get scolded for him. How can it be unreasonable?

"Old lady, I told you to beat this beast to death that day to avoid harming the Jia family. Sure enough, such a big disaster happened today." After a while, Jia She slowly exhaled and said. .

Jia's mother glared at him and said, "Why are you anxious when misfortune has not yet been determined? Just now, the imperial concubine in the palace sent someone to deliver a message. Although Brother Cong is a bit naughty, he has made great contributions to the country. He also annihilated more than 40,000 Tatars. Although His Majesty is annoyed, he has not committed any crime. Didn't he send Zuo Zongzheng to call them back to the capital?"

Jia She sighed: "Old lady, His Majesty's decree is to escort him back to the capital. I'm afraid it's not a good thing to use a prefix."

Suddenly hearing that Dai Quan, the eunuch in charge of the Daming Palace, was visiting, Jia Zheng hurriedly went out to greet him.

Not long after, Dai Quan came in with two young eunuchs. The girls had already fled to the back hall.

Jia's mother stood up and said with a smile: "The old lady is here. I'm sorry to hear you come from afar. Please forgive me for my sins."

"Hey, what the old lady said is really embarrassing to our family. This time I visited Tan Mansion. Firstly, I wanted to greet the old lady. Secondly, I thought that Concubine Yuan usually took care of her servants and so on. Now there are people in the mansion. It's a happy event, and I'm afraid that the old lady will be worried, so I came here to express my congratulations." Dai Quan cupped his hands and said with a smile.

Jia She smiled bitterly and said: "Old Prime Minister, the low-ranking couple were reprimanded by His Majesty. The unscrupulous son will also be taken back to the capital to be questioned. I wonder where the joy will come from?"

Dai Quan said: "He is clearly Qilin's son. Why can Gong Shen be called an unworthy son?"

Jia Zheng asked hurriedly: "I am stupid, sir, please make it clear."

Dai Quan smiled and said: "Young Master Cong Sanye of your residence is a young hero. He is both civil and military. He has made many military exploits. He has rescued soldiers several times and implemented new laws. He has achieved outstanding results. He has already been registered in His Majesty's heart."

Therefore, those who are not rewarded are because they are young and have their minds sharpened. Now that I'm back, it will be of great use. Isn't this a great joy? "

Jia Mu asked, "Why is your Majesty's decree so harshly worded?"

Dai Quan smiled and said: "The old lady knows it clearly. Your Majesty is annoyed that Third Master Cong and the Tenth Prince are so bold. It's true. Just because you love them so deeply, you blame them so much. If an ordinary general commits such a thing, there is no need for Zuo Zongzheng." Take him back to Shenjing in person?

A decree, just kill it on the spot and it will be done. It can be seen that this is not the case, but His Majesty regards Third Master Cong as a descendant of the Tian family. "

Everyone was overjoyed when they heard this. Only Jia She was a little unhappy and said, "Then why did your majesty punish this subordinate again?"

Dai Quan said with a smile: "Now that Third Master Cong is thousands of miles away, Your Majesty is angry, so naturally he can only take it out on the pardoner. In my humble opinion, if you get scolded and get replaced by a lord, this business is not worth it." loss."

Jia Mu was overjoyed and said, "Your Majesty, are you going to give Brother Cong a title?"

The title is the lifeblood of a noble family. Nowadays, the two palaces of East and West are all princes in name only. Although Jia Cong has an Enqi Lieutenant, it is better than nothing. If he can get into a Spyker, he will be a three-lord, and the country will The only honor.

Dai Quan nodded with a smile: "Taizu has a system, no title can be given unless it is for social and military merit, and no title can be given unless it is for special purposes. This is an iron rule.

It is said that Third Master Cong has made many meritorious deeds, killed countless enemies, and has such a family background. He should have been promoted to a peerage long ago, but Your Majesty has been holding back because he was afraid that he was young and frivolous and arrogant, and that his promotion to the peerage would harm him. Now after three years of hard work, Mr. Cong has matured through experience, and it is time for him to reward his merits. "

Jia Mu hurriedly said: "If it hadn't been for the advice of the old minister, we would still be in a dream. I wonder how your majesty plans to award the reward?"

Dai Quan waved his hand and said: "Our family has already leaked the secret today, how dare we speculate on the holy will again." After saying this, he left.

Jia's mother hurriedly ordered Jia She to wait for Haosheng to send it out, and she must give it a big red envelope.

In the back hall, Baochai and Daiyu were already crying with joy. At first they thought it was a bad thing, but unexpectedly, it turned out to be a good thing. How could they not be overjoyed. The happiest person is that Jia Cong is coming back!

Sister Feng glanced at the two of them and said with a smile: "We sisters and sisters-in-law didn't cry, but my cousins ​​started crying first, which made us look more like outsiders."

Their faces turned red and they quickly wiped away their tears. Daiyu spat: "Girl Feng, please hold back. If you want to quarrel and wait until Brother Cong comes back, go and fight with him yourself. I'm just too lazy to take care of you."

Sister Feng smiled and said, "I know someone will be proud of Brother Cong when he comes back. If I don't make a few jokes, I'm afraid I won't have a chance in the future."

"What are you talking about!" Bao and Dai couldn't bear it any longer, and they got up together to catch Wang Xifeng.

"Oh, dear sister, please forgive me this time. I haven't read a book and can't speak. You adults just don't remember the faults of villains." Sister Feng evaded with a smile.
