Red Mansion Jia Enhou

Grandmother Jia's eyes paused for a moment, revealing an incredible look.

The eldest son actually finds a marriage for the second son.

How could he be so kind?
Jia She then spoke.

"She is the eldest daughter of the You family. When her father was alive, he was an official of the sixth rank."

"After my second brother gets married, he will go to Jingde Academy outside the city to study."

"I'm afraid that mother won't be able to see him for many years. I came here to say hello to you first."

"It will give you some peace of mind so that you don't have to look for him again if you can't find him."

Jia She spoke slowly, and Grandmother Jia was completely excited.

What is the difference between this and putting Jia Zheng under house arrest?
He wanted to separate her and the second brother completely.

In excitement, Grandmother Jia reached out and hit Jia She. After being hit, Jia She stood up from the bed.

"This is all your own fault, mother."

"If you hadn't kept making trouble, my second brother wouldn't have been sent to school."

"But this also fulfills his wish. Doesn't he want to go back to school?"

"Son, go first!"

Jia She bowed to Lady Jia and turned to leave.

Behind him, Lady Jia kept yelling at Jia She.

The moment Jia She turned around, he sighed again.

Noticing Jia She's depressed mood, Mrs. Xing put her hand on Jia She's arm.

Jia She gave Mrs. Xing a bitter smile.

Mrs. Xing patted Jia She comfortingly.

The Later Jin's attack on the Tatars had reached a point where it was impossible to resist.

However, in just a few days, the Tatars attacked the royal city of the Later Jin Dynasty.

The old Khan of the Later Jin Dynasty began to flee with his tribesmen.

The Tatar troops were relentless in pursuit, and Sozhuolo, who had come to ask for help from the Great Chu, fell ill in the temporary residence of the Honglu Temple after hearing that the royal city had been breached.

Jia She was urgently summoned to the palace by the emperor.

He really didn't expect that the Later Jin would be so vulnerable.

They only held out for a short time before the Tatars attacked the royal city.

Inside the palace, ministers from various departments began to discuss the matter.

Some said that the emperor should send troops to rescue Jin, while others said that the emperor should just ignore it.

There was a big quarrel in the hall, and the fat boy who was sent as a hostage seemed to have grown up overnight and put down his pride.

Following the etiquette of their motherland, they knelt down in front of the emperor, and then the clear voice of a child was heard.

"I beg the great Emperor of Chu to send troops to rescue the people of Jin."

Children's tears are always touching.

Especially for a child who is about to lose his motherland.

But when they thought about what the old Khan of the Later Jin Dynasty had done, the ministers in the court all put away their sympathy.

To stab the Great Chu in the back is an unforgivable crime.

They pity him now, but who will pity the hundreds of millions of people in Humen Pass?

"Your Majesty, the Later Jin cannot be saved."

As soon as the emperor was moved, a minister jumped out to stop him.

The emperor didn't want to save him, but he couldn't do it.

Because he is the emperor, and the emperor should be merciful and loving.

If he opens his mouth, he will become a person without any kindness in his heart.

"Yincheng, you heard it, my ministers won't let me save them."

The tears in the eyes of the fat boy, who had already collapsed, became even more severe.

The Later Jin Dynasty was really going to be finished, and he was going to become a slave of a conquered nation. The little fat man cried uncontrollably in the court.

In the Honglu Temple, Sozhuo Luo, who was too sick to get up, closed his eyes after hearing the news from the court.

Jia She's gaze fell on the little fat man.

If he remembered correctly, the Manchus seemed to have experienced a genocide during the Ming Dynasty.

After that genocide, the Jurchens were enslaved by the Mongols. Later, Nurhaci rose to power and unified the remaining Jurchen tribes.

Started his life.

It was also at that time that the Ming Dynasty suffered from serious land annexation and the loss of imperial power. Coupled with the natural disasters during the Little Ice Age, the entire Ming Dynasty was destroyed.

The current Later Jin is the predecessor of the Qing Dynasty.

Watching his country being destroyed is like watching history developing on the right track.

Perhaps, they can help suppress the evil.

When it is full, we will support it and suppress it.

The two are balanced and form a mortal feud.

So let's see how the Manchus and Mongols, as one family, attack the Central Plains.

After the court meeting, the emperor returned to his study to handle government affairs. At this moment, he was thinking about how to deal with the Tatars.

After destroying the Later Jin, the Tatar power would inevitably expand.

By then, the Tatars will definitely think of getting their hands on the Central Plains.

But who gave Tatar the idea to attack the Later Jin?

"Your Majesty, this is the memorial submitted by the ministers today!"

Zhang Mingde brought up the memorial with two young eunuchs.

Looking at the piles of memorials, the emperor's head began to ache.

"Has the memorial been approved by the Cabinet?"

Ever since he had his people in the cabinet, he felt at ease handing memorials to the cabinet for approval and review.

Why are there so many memorials today?
Zhang Mingde nodded to the emperor.

"It has passed, your majesty!"

"Why are there so many memorials?"

Among the memorials he had to deal with, quite a few were trivial matters.

Before, he didn’t dare to hand over the memorials from officials from all over the country to the cabinet because there were no one of his people in the cabinet. Now that the cabinet is full of his people, how come there are still so many?
Zhang Mingde looked at the emperor, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.

"Your Majesty, have you forgotten what happened today?"

Zhang Mingde began to place the memorials in front of the emperor according to their importance.

The emperor began to cry, and Jia She, who had returned home, also began to write memorials.

Jia She, who hadn't touched a brush for a long time, wrote words that sounded like dog crawling.

After he finished writing, Jia She looked at his plan for governing the barbarians with satisfaction.

Jia She wrote in detail in his memorial what economic warfare is.

Including the Tatar invasion of the Later Jin Dynasty.

In his memorial, Jia She suggested to the emperor that he should encircle the Tartars to rescue the Jin.

After saving Jin, Jia She suggested to the emperor to move the royal family of Later Jin to Shenjing.

The Jurchen tribe migrated to Mobei outside Yanmen Pass.

Although this area is inhabited by Tatars, a considerable part of it also belongs to the Great Chu.

As for Liaodong and other places where the Later Jin Dynasty now lives.

A smile appeared on Jia She's lips. That place is a good place.

Not only does it have fertile black soil, but it also has abundant fishing and hunting resources. The three provinces of Henan, Hebei and Shandong are overcrowded.

Before the public ownership of land, there was only one way to solve the problem of land annexation: immigration.

People from narrow villages moved to wide villages.

Once the three provinces of Liaodong are built, Da Chu will have one more granary.

"Prepare the car, I want to go to the palace!"

Jia She held the memorial in his hand and confidently got into the carriage.

Jia She handed in the plan he had written on how to save Jin by besieging the Tartars. The emperor, who received Jia She's memorial, began to read it silently.

At first, the emperor was very optimistic about it until he saw Jia She's proposal to encircle the Tartars and save the Jin Dynasty.

The emperor only felt his chest beginning to hurt. The old Khan of the Later Jin Dynasty had broken his promise and helped the Tatars.

Now you, Jia She, actually want the emperor to repay evil with kindness and rescue the Jin Dynasty by encircling the Tartars?

The emperor was so angry that he almost wanted to laugh.

"Your Majesty, Marquis Rong is waiting outside now. Do you want to see him?"

The emperor closed the half-read memorial from Jia She.

"not see!"

After saying this, the emperor threw Jia She's memorial away.

Zhang Mingde went out to see Jia She, and Jia She looked at Zhang Mingde eagerly.

"How is it, can I go in?"

Jia She, who had never written a memorial in his entire life, was very confident in his own memorial.

Zhang Mingde looked at Jia She's arrogant and confident appearance and felt a little amused.

"Marquis Rong, please go back. His Majesty does not want to see you." Jia She frowned and looked at Zhang Mingde in confusion.

"Has your Majesty not read my memorial?"

Zhang Mingde felt like laughing.

"It is because I saw it that I did not see you."

"Go back!"

Zhang Mingde waved at Jia She.

Jia She stayed where he was and refused to leave, and only after looking around could he disappear.

This shouldn't be the case.

He wrote that memorial so well. The relocation of the Later Jin to the northern desert outside the Yanmen Pass could, on the one hand, resist the southward advance of the Tatars, and on the other hand, free up the three northeastern provinces and resolve the land annexation within the Great Chu.

Jia She's gloomy gaze fell on Zhang Mingde.

"I won't leave!"

"I want to see your majesty!"

Jia She stayed at the door of the emperor's palace. If the emperor had really read what he wrote, he would not have said that he would not even want to see him.

"Please, Eunuch Zhang, please inform me again. I don't believe that His Majesty will not see me after seeing what I wrote."

Now that Jia She is a hotshot, Zhang Mingde, who doesn’t dare to offend him, has no choice but to go back.

"Your Majesty, Marquis Rong must see you!"

Zhang Mingde acted as a messenger.

The emperor raised his eyelids slightly and had to see him. What tricks was Jia She playing?
Zhang Mingde continued to ask.

"Your Majesty, do you want to see me?"

The emperor didn't say anything, and Zhang Mingde understood what he meant and went to ask Jia She.

Jia She was led in. On the ground was the memorial he had written, and above it was the emperor with a sullen face.

"Jia She, do you still dare to come in?"

The emperor, who had endured five years of patience, could not tolerate any loss or humiliation.

Jia She was a little confused.

"I have done nothing wrong, why don't you dare to come in?"

"Instead, I would like to ask Your Majesty why you threw my memorial on the ground."

Jia She looked at the emperor angrily.

It's really disrespectful to the fruits of other people's labor.

He spent at least an hour writing the memorial, and then threw it away.

He was still mean to him when they met.

Jia She picked up the fruits of his labor from the ground. The emperor looked at Jia She and was so angry that he almost laughed.

"Jia She, let me ask you, how did you feel about helping Jin Guo when he was treacherous?"

"He even asked me to surround the Tartars and save the Jin. Is he worthy of that?"

The emperor's words were full of disgust for the Later Jin.

"Then your majesty, have you ever thought about how powerful the Tatars will become after the fall of the Later Jin?"

The three northeastern provinces are a huge granary.

The reason why nomadic peoples did not dare to launch a large-scale attack on the Central Plains was that food and fodder was a very critical issue.

The steppes could not support large-scale military campaigns.

If the Tatars could take over the three northeastern provinces and other places, within five years they would be able to launch a large-scale attack on the Chu State.

Will Da Chu be able to hold on by then?
This is obviously uncomfortable. In the era of cold weapons, cavalry is always the killer.

If the Great Chu wanted to preserve its empire, it could only retreat to the south of the Yangtze River like the Southern Song Dynasty did, relying on its advantage in naval warfare to temporarily avoid the limelight.

"I have read in my father's letters his description of the areas occupied by the Later Jin."

"Your Majesty may not know that although the area where the Later Jin is located is cold and freezing, it is a natural granary."

"Although the crops there are harvested only once a year, thanks to the fertile soil, the grain they produce is no less than ours."

The emperor frowned as he listened to Jia She's description.

"So Your Majesty still thinks that the Later Jin should not be saved?"

Jia She held the memorial he had written and looked straight at the emperor.

The emperor frowned and waved to Jia She.

"Show me the memorial you wrote again!"

The emperor ordered Jia She.

Jia She glanced at the memorial in his hand.

No!

When Jia She started to take Qiao and show it to you, you threw the thing on the ground. Now if you want to look at it again, you have to pay the price.

Jia She extended his hand to the emperor.

"I have old people above me and young children below me. Do you understand, Your Majesty?"

The emperor, whose interest was aroused, naturally would not buy into Jia She's tricks.

I have conferred upon you the title of Marquis Rong, and yet you are still not satisfied?
The emperor, who didn't want to spend any money, picked up the memorial on the table and threw it at Jia She.

Jia She dodged flexibly until there were no more memorials on the table. The emperor stopped panting, put his hands on his hips and scolded Jia She.

"You, Jia She, are so bold that you even dare to cheat me of my money?"

Jia She smiled at the emperor.

"Why don't you dare?"

"Besides, I'm not trying to cheat you out of money. It's just that you didn't want to watch it in the first place."

"What's wrong with me wanting something behind me?"

"Is it that the paper and pen are free, or is it that my kung fu is free?"

Jia She shook the memorial and then began to deliberately anger the emperor with a sense of righteousness.

The emperor sighed silently in his heart.

What you mean is that he, as the emperor, did not give you a salary?

"Tell me, what do you want?"

Knowing Jia She's temper and not wanting to argue with him, the emperor gave up struggling.

Jia She's eyes narrowed with a smile.

The emperor knew at first sight that Jia She was up to something bad.

The emperor threatened Jia She and signaled him not to go too far.

Jia She smiled and bowed to the emperor.

"Don't worry, Your Majesty. I won't go too far. I just want a few more manors!"

A few Zhuangzi looked at how light these words were.

How many Zhuangzi are as simple as they say?
"Why don't you just take my life?"

The emperor got furious. He had just said that it would not be excessive, but what was proposed later was even more excessive than he thought.

You dare to ask for such a high price from the emperor. Do you, Jia She, still want to live?

Jia She bowed to the emperor again.

"Your Majesty, please don't be so quick to get angry. Wait until I have finished speaking, then you can consider it!"

What kind of ivory can you, Jia She, spit out from your dog's mouth?
"I want a few manors in Liaodong and other places."

The emperor frowned.

Liaodong?

"Your Majesty, look at the memorial in your hand!"

Jia She personally handed the memorial in his hand to the emperor.

The emperor turned the memorial to the page he saw, and then went on to see the reason why Jia She asked him to encircle the Tartars and save the Jin.

After seeing Jia She's subsequent actions, the emperor's eyes lit up.

But how can you ensure that the people of the Later Jin will not go back after moving to Mobei?

Another question is, how can you guarantee that the Later Jin will not cooperate with the Tatars again?

He was able to use the benefits of the Great Chu to help the Tatars, which clearly showed the inferiority of his small country.

The emperor put down the memorial in his hand.

"Lord En's argument is too idealistic."

Jia She looked at the emperor unwilling to give up.

"I wonder what your majesty is worried about?"

The emperor replied in silence that the Later Jin was not a reliable country.

Jia She looked at the emperor with a smile.

"Your Majesty, have you ever heard a saying?"

What words?

The emperor asked in his heart.

"There are no real friends in the world, only eternal interests."

"Your Majesty may think this is too inhumane, but isn't this how things work between countries?"

"As long as Your Majesty can use it well, it will be a sword for the Chu State to resist the Tatars." (End of this chapter)
