Red Mansion: Bastards rule the roost

The news that the Liao vassal was eliminated and the King of Liao was killed spread throughout the officialdom of Shenjing overnight. The officials looked at the ten major crimes of the King of Liao listed in the imperial newspaper. They did not understand any of them, so they wrote letters of impeachment and listed his crimes. Demand that the whole family be implicated and the crime be punished more severely.

Pots of dirty water were poured on him as if for free, and the King of Liao suddenly became one of the most treacherous officials and traitors in the history of history who had committed countless evil deeds.

Emperor Xifeng was very "kind" and pardoned the sins of his family members on the grounds of caring about his family ties and their hundreds of years of guarding the border, and allowed his six descendants, Sun Yongyuanjue, to inherit the throne.

All the officials wrote in droves to praise the emperor for his benevolence and generosity, which was not inferior to that of Yao, Shun, and Yu.

Jia Cong only took care of Qingwen at home, and followed the trend and wrote two notes to do the job.

Before the King of Liao had time to digest the news, Jia Cong deceived the king to resist the decree and used public weapons for personal use to save his concubine. Not only was it okay, but he was greatly favored by Jin Shangjia and was granted the title of Shaobao of Jin. The news was earth-shattering and completely shocked. The civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty.

The people who wanted to impeach Jia Cong by asking for fame and fame found that the trend was wrong, so they quickly tore up the ten-thousand-word letter written by burning the midnight oil, and instead praised the sage today. Assisted by such amazing people.

At the same time, although Jia Cong did not go to the office these two days, he was really busy.

Without him, all the civil and military officials and family friends from all over the court came to congratulate him with heavy gifts. Knowing that the beautiful concubine whom he loved more than her life was seriously ill, they all sent rare old ginseng, Ganoderma lucidum and other natural treasures to his liking.

"You gentlemen, please go slowly. Cong will come and say thank you someday."

"You're so polite, Young Master. How can we hold back and stay behind?"

Jia Cong put away his stylized smile, breathed a sigh of relief, and finally saw off a group of people. Just when he was about to turn around and go back to rest, he suddenly heard someone outside the door laughing and saying, "Zilong, it's been a long time. I didn't expect you to quietly make such a decision." Unparalleled achievement."

Before he finished speaking, the two fat men walked in hand in hand.

When Jia Cong saw that it was Feng Yuan and Zhongxin, he raised his hands and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, Brother Zhengfang, please come in and invite me."

"please."

"please."

The three of them had an unusual relationship, and they did not talk in the main hall, but went directly into the inner study.

After exchanging a few pleasantries, Feng Yuan said with a smile: "Now that Zilong is young and has become a Shaobao, I think he will be a Taibao or a Taifu in the future."

Zhongxin chuckled and was noncommittal.

Seeing the strange expressions on the two men's faces, Jia Cong said with a smile: "You two brothers, if you have anything to say, it's okay to say it. We brothers treat each other with sincerity, so why hide it?"

Feng Yuan and Zhongxin looked at each other, pondered for a moment, and said, "First of all, I would like to congratulate my brother on your promotion to a noble position. Secondly, I would also like to send a message to Prime Minister Jiang and Prime Minister Guan."

"What words, but it doesn't matter."

Feng Yuandao: "Kinglong has regrets."

"Um, what do you mean?" Jia Cong knew the Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms, but I guess Feng Yuan didn't mean that.

"This is a hexagram in the "Book of Changes", which means that prosperity will inevitably lead to decline, and happiness will lead to sadness." Feng Yuan said in a deep voice.

Jia Cong glanced at the two of them, cupped his hands and said, "Thank you for reminding me, Cong knows it well."

Feng Yuandao: "You have Mr. Pang to assist you. He can naturally think of this. A single word in plain language can only fulfill our brotherhood."

Zhongxin said: "That's right. You acted so recklessly the day before yesterday. It's a blessing that the Holy One didn't blame you. Unexpectedly, he gave you the title of Shaobao. I'm afraid it's a bit strange."

Feng Yuan nodded slowly and said: "Xiang Jiang said that that day in the Hall of Yangxin, all the ministers, including Yuan Fu, urged your majesty not to do any more favors, and your majesty also followed the good deeds, but unexpectedly there was a disturbance, and this happened It was unexpected. It can be seen that the Sacred Heart is like the sea and cannot be fathomed."

Jia Cong said: "What the two eldest brothers said is that thunder, rain and dew are all your kindness. Even if Cong wants to refuse and accept it, he can't, so he simply accepts it.

As for what happens next, let’s just take it one step at a time. Anyway, we are extremely loyal to His Majesty and the court, which can be seen by the sun and the moon. You are a wise king now, so you don’t have to worry about anything. "

The two of them nodded, knowing that Jia Cong didn't want to bring up this topic anymore, so they agreed with each other, changed the topic, and talked about some interesting stories about Beijing.

The three of them chatted for a long time, and Jia Cong suddenly smiled and said: "Your Majesty, have you thought of a way to position Da Zongzheng?"

Zhongxin smiled bitterly and shook his head, saying: "Your Majesty is busy implementing new laws and preparing to cut down the vassal these days. He can't care about these small things. What's more, there are some old princes in the clan who are also eyeing this piece of fat. It's difficult."

Jia Cong thought for a while and said, "I was chatting with Mr. Pang the day before yesterday, and he came up with an idea for the prince to refer to."

Zhongxin said hurriedly: "Mr. Pang's clever plan must be excellent. I would like to hear the details."

Jia Cong said: "Now that the Liao vassal has been destroyed, all the vassals are frightened. The emperor has issued an edict, summoning King You and King Ji to return to the capital after passing on the throne to "define the outline of the court." I think the two kings are here under the nose of Shenjing. The imperial court had already taken precautions and should not have dared to resist.

As for the other kings, I'm afraid they still have the intention of waiting and watching, and they may not come back obediently for a while. "

Zhongxin nodded and said: "This makes sense. What I mean is..."

"Why don't Your Majesty follow the example of Su Qin and Zhang Yi, go to the imperial court and inspect the Western vassals. If you can convince all the kings to come to vote for you, wouldn't it be a great achievement? By then, with Your Majesty's prestige and achievements, who would dare to compete with this great sect?"
Cong knew very well that the prince had a lotus tongue and was the best at eloquence. It would be easy to convince the kings, and it didn't have to be all-out efforts. As long as he could convince two or three families, the rest would be hard-pressed. How could he still dare to explode? "Jia Cong laughed.

Zhongxin's eyes lit up, this method is good, and it is in line with the imperial government's policy. If the above table is correct, it will be accurate now. When the time comes, go around the nine sides. Anyway, there is no danger. He is a royal prince and Zuo Zongzheng, who dares Disrespectful?

Even if the mission is in vain, it is the proper meaning of the question to search hard for a contribution, and it will never be in vain, hehe.

Yin cupped his hands and smiled and said: "Thank you for your advice, brother. I will tell you when I get back. I am Zuo Zongzheng. I will serve my country with loyalty and will never be content with others."

Feng Yuan said with a smile: "Serving the country with loyalty may not be possible, but it is conceivable that I will make a lot of money on this trip. Remember to be a host when the prince comes back."

Zhongxin smiled and said: "TOEFL, TOEFL, definitely."

Jia Cong sent the two of them off and said to Wangcai: "If there are any more visitors, please ask Mr. Xifu Zheng and Mr. Lian to entertain on my behalf. If there are no important people, please don't disturb me. I'm tired."

"Yes, sir, please have a rest. I'm keeping an eye on the door. If you have any doubts, please ask Mr. Pang for advice first." Wangcai nodded and bowed.

His former son Jia Cong shocked him by killing his disciples in anger without asking for the reason. Only then did he realize that slaves are in danger and must be cautious. If one day something bad happens to me for no reason, I don't know how I will die.

"Well, be smart." Jia Cong nodded and returned to the back house.

"Brother Cong, come here." Seeing Jia Cong come in, Daiyu hurriedly raised her hand to call him.

Jia Cong smiled and said, "What are your orders from Qi'er?"

Daiyu rolled her eyes at him and went back to her room.

Jia Cong laughed and followed in.

"You're such a pretty girl, can't you help it anymore?" Qingwen's body has recovered visibly in the past two days. Jia Cong is in a good mood, and he hugs Daiyu with a playful smile.

"Bah, show some respect to me and let the girl see it. Daddy asked me to tell you a few words." Daiyu shook her head slightly. Jia Cong asked curiously: "My father-in-law, if you have something to say, don't tell me directly. Why do you need me to convey it to you?"

There was a trace of ridicule in Daiyu's eyes, and she said with a smile: "Aren't you worried that now that you have been granted the title of Shaobao, your eyes are higher than your head, and you are willful and willful?"

Jia Cong smiled and said: "To be honest, I don't value this thing as much as you do." After all, he is a time traveler. He only cares about practical benefits and is not very interested in these false names.

Daiyu spat: "Who cares? Anyway, in my heart, you have always been that shameless bastard." At this point, her voice turned lower and her face turned slightly red.

Jia Cong hugged her and said, "Do you know what you look like in my heart?"

"I don't care." Daiyu turned her head away arrogantly. Seeing that Jia Cong didn't answer, she couldn't help stamping her feet and saying coquettishly: "I hate you. If you don't tell me, I still pay attention to you."

Jia Cong laughed and said, "In my heart, Qi'er has always been that sentimental, kind-hearted, sharp-tongued, soft-hearted little girl."

Daiyu pursed her lips and smiled and said: "Only a ghost will believe you, so stop interrupting. My father said that it may not be a good thing for you to be granted the title of Shaobao this time. He told you to be calm and not to be too ostentatious."

Jia Cong nodded to express his understanding and said: "Mr. Pang has already told me, but I still want you to thank my father-in-law for me. There is nothing I can't say between my father-in-law and my son-in-law. I really underestimate Cong's broad-mindedness."

Daiyu mocked and said: "What kind of ambition do you have? I don't know who burst into tears when he came back the day before yesterday. He looked like a child, not like a general."

Jia Cong smiled and said: "If you want to cry, I will cry. If you want to laugh, I will laugh. Why should I be afraid of what others say? When it comes to my heart, my heart is naturally not as big as yours... Hehe." After saying that, he put his hand into Daiyu's arms.

"Ouch! You are going to die, take your claws away!" Daiyu was ashamed and embarrassed and hurriedly grabbed his hand.

While they were having fun, they suddenly heard a message coming from the rhododendron at the door.

"Master, the old lady sent Sister Yuanyang to invite you over."

Jia Cong was amused and said in a loud voice: "Tell the old lady that I will be there in half an hour. I have some important things to take care of now." After that, he carried Daiyu to the couch.

Daiyu's face turned red with embarrassment, and she hurriedly held his chest and said angrily: "Dirty bastard, are you going to teach me how to behave like this in the future? Go away now."

Jia Cong salivated and said, "What a pretty girl, it's only natural for us husband and wife to be intimate. The old lady has nothing to do with it."

Seeing that he didn't listen to his advice, Daiyu said anxiously: "It's such a cold day and there's nothing in the room. Do you want me to be as sick as Qingwen?"

Jia Cong was startled when he heard this, and quickly let go of Daiyu, saying apologetically: "Zhen'er, I...I acted stupidly again, please forgive me this time."

Seeing his frightened and frightened look, Daiyu couldn't bear it, and said softly: "Brother Cong, I don't blame you, it's just...it's just that you go and take care of the old lady's affairs first, tonight...tonight... Isn’t it okay to just follow you?”

Jia Cong nodded like a chicken pecking at rice and said, "I'll go right away and tell the Zijuan charcoal stove to be heated up. I'll also prepare bath water and cold-repelling ginger tea, so that I'm prepared and safe."

"Fuck you, keep talking carefully about your skin." Daiyu spat shyly.

Jia Cong came out and followed Yuanyang to Xifu. On the way, he asked, "What did the old lady call me for?"

Yuanyang covered her mouth and smiled and said: "The old lady said that now that I have become a young protector, I am stronger than my ancestors, and I am getting more and more proud. I don't know if I went to report the good news, or if old friends from the family come to visit to congratulate me. Her old lady is not happy. ”

Jia Cong smiled bitterly and said, "That's it? Didn't I send someone to tell the old lady? Didn't you tell her that I was busy these two days?"

Yuanyang glanced at him and said: "Why didn't you say anything? I went back to the old lady and said that I have to entertain the civil and military officials and nobles of the DPRK in the past two days. The land needs the help of the master and the second master Lian to have some time to eat and drink.

When I have some free time, I have to take care of Qingwen's illness. It would be fine if she were an ordinary aunt. Qingwen is different. It was a gift from the old lady. I always take it seriously and don't dare to neglect it. "

Jia Cong smiled and said: "Sister, you speak generously and decently. I wonder if the old lady can't live without you for a day. She is indeed a golden mandarin duck."

Yuanyang smiled and said: "I don't dare to be my prize. I heard that I invited a miracle doctor back and Qingwen's health has improved a lot?"

Jia Cong breathed a sigh of relief, with lingering fear in his eyes, and said: "Thanks to Mr. Ye's extraordinary medical skills and his wonderful rejuvenation, I was finally saved.

It's just that this time the illness has been severe and has severely damaged my vitality. It will take another month or two to recover completely. However, Mr. Ye also said that this illness is not entirely a bad thing, and it is expected to be a good one. "

Yuanyang hurriedly asked: "What does Mr. Ye mean by this?"

"It means that the root causes of Qingwen's diseases in the past have suddenly appeared this time. Mr. Ye prescribes a prescription to eliminate them. If you take good care of them in the future, there will be no future problems. While you are young, your body will get better quickly. "

Yuanyang clasped his hands together and said, "Amitabha, our grandma Qingwen has finally overcome this hurdle. Otherwise, I don't know how sad I would be."

Now that Qingwen is getting better, Jia Cong is more playful and says with a smile: "If sister gets sick, I will be just as sad."

Yuanyang laughed and said, "Please don't treat me like a little girl. Who knows that Qingwen is my favorite. I am not lucky enough, but I dare not compare with her."

Jia Cong said teasingly: "That's a bad statement. My sister is the only girl in Cong's life who has peeked into the shower. This is enough to make her feel so proud of her housewife."

When Yuanyang heard this, the few freckles on his face turned red. He looked around hurriedly and breathed a sigh of relief when he saw no one around. He stamped his feet and said, "Master, you just said it without even looking at the place. I'm not afraid if word spreads. I’m afraid of damaging my reputation.”

Jia Cong laughed, put his arm around her shoulders, and said, "How can my reputation be damaged by such a trivial matter? If it spreads, it is also a famous reputation. What is it worth?"

Yuanyang lowered her head with a blushing face. Her thick black hair was adorned with a red gold emerald phoenix hairpin. The faint scent of rose oil drifted into Jia Cong's nose with the wind, making his heart flutter.

Jia Cong leaned over and took a deep breath, looked at her snow-white neck, and whispered: "Good sister, how long have you not been with me?"

"Sir...it's important to go see the old lady first." Yuanyang said softly.

"Okay, okay." Jia Cong smiled and arrived at Rongqing Hall while talking to her.

"Your Majesty, please." Amber, who was waiting at the door, saw him coming and hurriedly opened the curtain.

Jia Cong nodded and walked in. He saw everyone in the hall, chatting and joking with the old lady. The topic was always inseparable from the word "Shaobao". Naturally, they were all words of congratulations and compliments, which made the old lady smile from ear to ear. The mouth is like in the clouds.

Seeing Jia Cong come in, everyone stood up to greet him.

"Cong, please say hello to the old lady."

Mother Jia deliberately put away her smile and said with a straight face: "Hey, isn't this Jia Shaobao? Why do you give such a big gift? I am buried up to my neck in loess, and I can't bear it."

Jia Cong smiled awkwardly and winked at the girls.

When the girls saw that he was embarrassed, they all covered their mouths and snickered. Yingchun, Xichun, Xing Xiuyan, etc. were not very quick-witted, their eloquence was not very good, and they were weak-minded.

Tanchun and Baoqin realize that they speak softly, and the old lady may not listen to them.

Xiangyun, on the other hand, wished Jia Cong was unlucky and was just watching the joke.

Although the two widows, Youshi and Li Wan, wanted to help each other, they had to avoid suspicion. (End of chapter)
