Red Mansion Taoist

Chapter 31 Royal Palace
  "You asked for it. You can't blame me for sending it to my door!" Jia Zhen's voice was hoarse with anger, and he said bitterly.

The anger in his heart made his reason disappear. Under normal circumstances, how could he have caused trouble outside the Rongxi Hall on Jia Mu's birthday.

But after seeing Jia Qiang, he completely ignored it.

In order to deal with Jia Qiang, he put a lot of effort into it, but he used up the favor. Not only did he not do anything to Jia Qiang, but he caused a lot of trouble for himself.

"You two go up and catch him!" He turned to the two healthy servants behind him and ordered.

The two able-bodied servants he brought with him were specially selected strong young men.

The two healthy servants heard their master's instructions and rushed towards Jia Qiang without any hesitation.

They knew what a big event today was, and if they wanted to minimize the impact, they needed to cut through the mess quickly and catch Jia Qiang as quickly as possible.

In the evening, guests may come to wish Jia Mu a happy birthday.

Jade screamed in surprise, but Jia Qiang didn't panic at all. He stood in front of Jade and calmly faced the two healthy servants who rushed over.

Just when two healthy servants were about to grab his shoulders, one on the left and the other on the right, he dwarfed his stature, and his already short body easily dodged the two big hands.

Then he punched out with both fists, aiming at the diaphragm of the two healthy servants' chests.

The two healthy servants were like fish out of water, with their mouths wide open but unable to make any sound, and their bodies fell softly.

The diaphragm of the chest that these two punches attack is very particular. This is one of the methods of capturing prisoners in the "Yangong Bingshu". Because capturing the prisoner needs to be alive and unable to make a sound, a blow to the diaphragm will cause the enemy's breath to be disordered and his heart to be short-lived. out of control.

Of course, Jia Qiang reserved her strength for these two punches. If she really wanted to hit them with all her strength, the two healthy servants would not have to live.

The two healthy servants fell down, causing Jia Zhen to take a few steps back involuntarily. He did not expect that Jia Qiang would be so powerful and easily defeated the two healthy servants.

Except for the two healthy servants around him, there was no force that he could use.

"Humph!" Jia Qiang snorted coldly, but he did not attack Jia Zhen.

On the one hand, this is Jia Mu's territory after all, and today is Jia Mu's birthday. If you don't look at the monk's face or the Buddha's face, you have to give Jia Mu face. If you really want to beat Jia Zhen here, even if he is reasonable, Jia Mu will not do it. Hard to say.

On the other hand, he thought that Jia Zhen did not need him to take action. Jia Zhen was unlucky. Just look at Jia Rong, whose face was almost full of joy, and you would know Jia Rong's attitude towards Jia Zhen.

When Jia Rong saw that Jia Qiang did not continue to take action, the joy on her face turned into pity, and she quickly hid it.

Jia Qiang glanced at Jia Zhen, and then saw Jia She who was coming not far away but stopped. His performance today shocked them, and they all looked at her with frightened eyes.

"The Jia family is finished!" This was his first thought.

To be honest, the methods he used were not very powerful.

In fact, his two-level general body refining technique can only be regarded as extremely ordinary among the generals who have mastered the body refining technique.

The two punches he struck were the methods of scouts recorded in the "Yan Gong Bing Shu". The scouts in the army from lowest to highest are Tanma, Scout and Ye Bushou.

These two punches are only general abilities of scouts, and even the lowest level scouts can master them.

But just these two punches made the two heirs of the dignified Jia Mansion frightened. How could such a lord's house survive forever.

"Farewell!" He said in a deep voice, feeling bored.

Everyone present was shocked by his methods, and no one stepped forward to stop him.

"This little beast, I won't let him go!" When the person was gone and out of sight, Jia Zhen pointed in the direction where Jia Qiang disappeared and said angrily. He then cursed at the two healthy servants who were being helped up: "Useless stuff, I'll feed you in vain!"

Fortunately, there was still some time before the big banquet, and those who came to Ningguo Mansion at this time were all here to send congratulatory gifts. Those who actually came to pay their birthdays had not yet started, so it was not embarrassing in front of outsiders.

Jia Rong's mood was different at this time. In his eyes, Jia Zhen was terrifying.

But today, he saw Jia Zhen's incompetent and weak side, which greatly reduced his fear of Jia Zhen and gave him more ideas to formulate the plan.

--------

In the East Palace of the Imperial Palace, Emperor Jingwen looked at the zhezi in his hand. The zhezi was a fourth-grade transfer document. According to normal circumstances, this fourth-grade transfer document requires the consent of Emperor Jingwen and the use of the treasure seal to be effective, not to mention that the fourth-grade transferred is still his confidant.

But when he saw this fourth-grade transfer document, the transfer document had already taken effect, and his fourth-grade confidant had already left the capital.

He looked at the blood-red treasure seal on the fold with a gloomy look. The seal was like a slap on his face, wiping away all his hard work in the past two years.

This was not the first time. He had trained several important ministers, but in the end they all had the same fate. They were all transferred away from the capital and away from the center of power.

He grabbed the water glass with his right hand, but he didn't drink the water, he just held it tightly.

Due to excessive force, the contact between his fingers and the water glass turned pale, and both his hands and the water glass were shaking.

The great eunuch Xia Shouzhong waved around, and all the palace maids and eunuchs quietly exited the hall, leaving only Xia Shouzhong and Emperor Jingwen.

Xia Guozhong had followed Emperor Jingwen since he was still a prince, and he knew Emperor Jingwen very well.

Sure enough, the next moment Emperor Jingwen slammed the water glass on the ground.

The precious water cup was made by an unknown master, but it was now reduced to pieces.

"What kind of emperor am I? What kind of emperor am I? I took one step back, two steps back, countless steps back, one step back and another. Can I still step back again?" Emperor Jingwen roared.

He looked at the dazzling seal on the fold and wanted to tear it into pieces, but the seal had a power that made him only dare to touch his own water glass, but he did not dare to touch the sealed fold.

"What does he want me to do? He wants a puppet, why choose me!" Emperor Jingwen's roar continued.

Xia Shouzhong looked outside the hall. Anyone within fifty meters of the hall would be killed by him.

The East Palace is also the only place where Emperor Jingwen can be unbridled. In other places, Emperor Jingwen must be consistent in his words and deeds, and cannot take a single step wrong.

"Master, calm down, what you need now is patience!" Seeing that Emperor Jingwen had finished venting his anger, Xia Shouzhong bowed to persuade him.

"How could I not be forbearing? But he controls military and financial power, and even useful officials. What's the point of this emperor doing this!" Emperor Jingwen sat back on his chair feebly and said.

"He doesn't like Concubine Qing. Concubine Qing is dead. Lu Ju, who he doesn't like, is dead!" Emperor Jingwen's voice was so low that only Xia Shouzhong could hear it.

Xia Shouzhong looked around hurriedly. These words were more serious than his previous words, and any outsider who heard them must be silenced.

Emperor Jingwen looked in one direction, through the palace wall, that direction was the direction of Daming Palace.

The most powerful person in Daqian lived there, the Supreme Emperor, but Emperor Jingwen, who was supposed to be the most powerful person in Daqian, could only live in the East Palace.

Emperor Jingwen thought of the time when the Emperor suddenly fell seriously ill and was too weak to take charge.

The civil strife in Daqian in the early years damaged the capable princes, and in the end the Supreme Emperor chose Emperor Jingwen.

The year Emperor Jingwen ascended the throne, he tasted the taste of power.

But something unexpected happened. In the second year of the Emperor's recuperation, the Emperor's health miraculously recovered. Out of his attachment to power and his distrust of Emperor Jingwen, he took over power again.

In just one year, Emperor Jingwen did not even take over the government, let alone other matters.

From the army to the court, they were all officials supported by the Emperor. The Emperor had extraordinary charm, which made these officials follow the Emperor wholeheartedly.

In that year, the sun and the moon appeared in Daqian, and the Supreme Emperor and Emperor Jingwen were in charge of the government together.

The notes submitted by the ministers were first sent to Emperor Jingwen for approval, and then sent to the Supreme Emperor for approval. From time to time, the Supreme Emperor would send back the notes approved by Emperor Jingwen.

Under this situation, Emperor Jingwen had little power over the court. Even if there were ministers who joined Emperor Jingwen's side, they would be transferred out of the court when they were about to come into contact with the core power.

Although Emperor Jingwen was not an empty figure, he did not have much power in his hands. He could only bear the pain in his heart behind closed doors over the years.

He knew very well that due to the prestige of the Supreme Emperor, as long as the Supreme Emperor gave an order, he, the emperor, would be replaced.

His only hope is that as the Emperor's age slowly drags on until the Emperor is no longer able to hold power, he will hopefully have real power.
