Jia Zhen, Uncle of the Red House

　　Jia Zhen got up and wanted to continue fighting, but Hou Xiaokang had already announced that Niu Jizong had won!

　　Jia Zhen refused to accept and questioned Hou Xiaokang.

　　Hou Xiaokang spread his hands and said, "One is that you have fallen yourself, and the other is that Brother Niu is my boss right now. Who wins if he doesn't win?"

　　The reason is impeccable!

　　Seeing Niu Jizong smiling at Jia Zhen with a plate of silver coins, he really wanted to hit him with a peach blossom on his face!

　　Jia Zhen put on her clothes and was still indignant. She took the glass on the table and drank it all in one gulp.

　　A storm just obscured it.

　　Next, Shui Rong called on a singing and dancing actor to add to the fun.During the banquet, Feng Tang raised a glass of wine and smiled at Jia Zhen: "I heard that Lord Hou once went to the East Palace for a banquet, and the prince wanted to give you a daughter, but he chose one, but the prince himself kept it? Is there such a thing?"

　　Jia Zhen shook her head: "How can there be such a thing?" Taking advantage of the wine, he smiled and said, "I also heard that Brother Ziying said that his uncle's house kept a copy of "Secretary of Voice and Appearance", which is very good for women's lust, can you borrow it? How many days will you spend with your little nephew?"

　　An angry look appeared on Feng Tang's face, "That renegade son! He was the one who brought it here, and he turned it on me! You have to find him yourself!"

　　This Feng Tang regarded himself as a Confucian, and especially promoted Chen and Zhu's philosophy.Jia Zhen asked at his weakness, so he had to retreat in a hurry.

　　Jia Zhen carried the jug, and toasted one by one since the King of Beijing and Nan'an had descended.

　　I just heard the King of Nan'an say above: "Old Qiansui has been sent by the Ministry of Rites to pay tribute. This is all the power of His Royal Highness in front of the emperor. Let's toast the prince!"

　　Jia Zhen could hear clearly, it turned out that the prince had acted.Is this a prelude to reversing the verdict for Prince Yizhong?The same prince, it is inevitable to sympathize with each other.Jia Zhen only felt that several pairs of eyes were staring at him, and he couldn't let him shirk any longer.He had no choice but to raise his glass and drink it reluctantly.

　　Well, now I understand, this is for the crown prince!Look, we four princes and eight princes, the founding nobles, all support His Royal Highness.Take a look at the scene, which one is not a high-ranking official?It can really scare a lot of people.

　　Jia Zhen glanced at Wang Zi Teng, who had been silent, and walked up to him and said, "When did my uncle return to Beijing?" This Wang Zi Teng was older than Madam Wang's Aunt Xue, and was nearly sixty years old.On that day, Jia Zhen was appointed as the third-rank Wei Lie general, and the prince was appointed as the military governor of the capital. He was powerful and powerful. In order to curry favor with him, Jia Zhen followed Jia Baoyu to call his uncle.It's just that Prince Teng was arrogant and never put Jia Zhen in his eyes.Later, Jia Zhen was promoted several times, but came from behind, which made him quite dissatisfied.

　　Wang Ziteng had a smile on his face: "I went back to Beijing yesterday to report my work, and today I received a letter from the prince." A trace of unhappiness flashed in his eyes.

　　The corners of Jia Zhen's mouth were slightly raised, I'm afraid he was also tricked?Prince Bei Jing's hand is really inauthentic!

　　In fact, Wang Ziteng already supports the prince, this is not a problem, the key is that it should not be so publicized, or even show off and form a party.Right now, King Zhongshun has not yet fallen, and the emperor's attitude is unclear.

　　I'm afraid it's all because of Fang Congqian's people!It's a pity that the prince listens to the faith and does not accept the advice!

　　This made him uneasy.

　　He grabbed Jia Zhen's hand, "You and my nephew haven't seen each other in years, why don't you go to my house and talk about it in detail?"

　　Jia Zhen nodded and smiled, taking Wang Ziteng's offer, "I wanted to go to see him for a long time, but I'm afraid my uncle would not."

　　Wang Ziteng smiled and said, "You are going, it's too late for me to welcome you!"

　　The two are polite and warm, I don't know, I thought they were really close!

　　The banquet lasted for more than an hour. Jia Zhen and Niu Jizong said goodbye. One said they would go back to the manor and go east, and the other said they would go back to the camp and go west.

　　The more Jia Zhen thought about it on the road, the more wrong it got. Should I report this to the emperor?But this way, Chen Yongren can't be considered.

　　What a headache!

　　Jia Zhen galloped down the street while thinking, and soon saw the majestic Daming Palace standing on the Longshouyuan.

　　Well, it's God's will!

　　Jia Zhen so comforted herself.

　　As soon as he arrived at the gate of the palace, he met an acquaintance again, "Didn't my uncle say to go to the camp?"

　　Niu Jizong smiled and said, "Didn't you say you want to go back to the manor?"

　　"fraud!"

　　"fraud!"

　　The two scolded in unison, and then both laughed.

　　So the two entered the Daming Palace together.

　　Walking into the hall, Jia Zhen caught a glimpse of an incense burner on a few tables next to it, with a residual incense sticking in it, leaving only a curl of smoke.Listening to Dai Quan reporting to the emperor, "Your Majesty, a stick of incense just burned out."

　　Jia Zhen and Niu Jizong looked at each other before kneeling down. Long live the mountain.

　　After a long time, the emperor completed the correction of the memorial on the imperial case, pointed at the incense stick and said: "Fortunately, you got here before it burns out, otherwise, my mood may become very bad."

　　Jia Zhen was in a cold sweat for a moment.

　　Fortunately, it actually caught up!

　　"Your Majesty, from the Beijing Palace to the Daming Palace, it's seven or eight miles away. If the minister can't make it in time for a stick of incense, wouldn't it be wrong to still be on the way?"

　　The emperor sneered: "If that's the case, then your life is bad!"

Chapter [-] is just useful

　　Jia Zhen felt uneasy in her heart. For the first time, she felt that she was walking on the tip of a knife and felt precarious.No wonder the ancients said, accompany the king is like accompany the tiger, honestly do not deceive me!Now his family has a big business, there are women in groups, and children are in piles. If he hesitates a little bit today, all this will be owned by others.When he thought of You Shi Keqing being sold as a slave, the third sister Qingwen being abused, and Baochai Daiyu crying for him, at that moment, he was shrouded in fear, kneeling at the feet of the emperor with sincerity and fear, just like the saint in front of him. At the time, he was trembling with fear, but for the first time, he had the desire to seize power.

　　When the emperor saw Jia Zhen and Niu Jizong, he knew that he was afraid, and he felt relieved. "Will you be found guilty?" the emperor asked.

　　Niu Jizong immediately defended: "Reporting to the emperor, Wei Chen received an invitation from Lord Beijing. I really don't know if it is related to the old thousand years of Yizhong. Otherwise, the minister...will not go."

　　The emperor snorted coldly: "The water-soluble move has already been reported to me, and I also agreed!"

　　Niu Jizong was dumbfounded and didn't know what to say for a while.

　　Disappointment flashed in the emperor's eyes, and he turned to Jia Zhen again.

　　Jia Zhen knew that Niu Jizong's answer was not in line with the emperor's wishes, and racked her brains to think of countermeasures.

　　"We usually talk nonsense, why don't you talk about it?" The emperor walked up to him, his voice cold.

　　Jia Zhen carefully considered the words and said with a slight trembling: "If you return to the emperor, the Shui Wangye is loyal to the country, has a sincere temperament, and has a good relationship with my Jia family. Today, he invited him on paper, and the minister has to go because of his feelings." He paused and glanced at the emperor quietly.

　　The emperor was neither happy nor angry.

　　Jia Zhen could only bite the bullet and continued: "Also, the old man Yizhong has passed away for a long time, and no one has inherited the incense. The emperor remembers the brotherhood, and the quasi ministers and other memorials can comfort the heart of the emperor, and the emperor can teach and transform Li Shu. This is a truly generous act.”

　　The corners of the emperor's mouth twitched slightly.

　　Jia Zhen said cautiously: "It's just that as the governor of Beijing, it's not appropriate for me to be too much with my fellow generals. Today is a last resort, so after the banquet, I immediately report to the emperor to show that I have no personal relationship with General Niu."

　　The emperor looked at Niu Jizong with a smile on his face.

　　Niu Jizong didn't dare to beat anyone in front of the imperial court, he just glared at Jia Zhen and gritted his teeth: "Your Majesty, please allow the minister to settle a personal grievance with the Marquis of Ningyang first, and then plead guilty to the Emperor!"

　　The emperor smiled and sat back on the throne, "That's it. This is a book from the crown prince, saying that Prince Yizhong's actions are forgiven and his feelings are sympathetic. The Emperor Taishang has been thinking too much recently, so that he can't eat it, so he asked to set up a memorial service for him. After thinking about it again and again, I entrusted this matter to Shuishun. Just now, I was just playing with Aiqing."

　　play?Believe you are a ghost!

　　Jia Zhen didn't dare to relax at all, "Your Majesty, this is not the work of the Crown Prince. It can only be because the Emperor's filial piety moved the heavens, and virtue is universally accepted. It is only natural. The minister believes that even without the Crown Prince's performance, the Emperor has already decided to be loyal to the old Chitose. To pay homage." He finally gritted his teeth and said, "I only thank the emperor, not the prince."

　　Niu Jizong was half a beat, but he was by no means stupid. He followed Jia Zhen and said three words: "This minister agrees!"

　　This is to demarcate the line with the prince and resolutely be a royalist.

　　The emperor looked at Jia Zhen with a smile, "Concubine Jia has told me everything about you, and she is not too timid to actually put her hand into my harem?"

　　Jia Zhen was in a cold sweat and immediately kowtowed: "Your Majesty, Mingjian, this minister just doesn't want Niangniang to be deceived by some people, so I advise her not to get involved in right and wrong. That's all, don't say anything more!"

　　The emperor smiled and said: "You still told her not to be afraid. Her brother is the governor of Beijing, and the family can move gold and silver for her. You are so loud!"

　　Jia Zhen's soul was swept away, "Your Majesty, my minister... I was drunk and talking nonsense!"

　　The emperor pointed at him and said: "Concubine Xiande is too frugal in the palace, you go back and quickly give her [-] taels of silver to help her repair the Fengzao Palace. I heard that you didn't pay for the garden where she saved her relatives. !"

　　Jia Zhen said anxiously, "Your Majesty, I've been wronged, the minister paid [-] silver!"

　　"Oh, that's a lot! Thirty thousand taels!" The emperor said gloomily: "I need to be respectful for my women, can't I?"

　　"Okay!" Jia Zhen said frustratedly, "Your Majesty, are you robbery?"

　　The emperor smiled and said: "If others pay it back, I will rob you! If I am not careful, I have made you the richest man in Shenjing! I rob the rich and help the poor, and I am in a good mood!"

　　Jia Zhen retorted in a low voice: "Your Majesty, you are still the richest man in Dashun. You are robbing the poor and helping the rich."

　　The emperor said with a stern face, and ordered Dai Quan to say: "Today, I will bring back [-] taels of silver from the Ningyang Hou's mansion. Tomorrow, I will pass the order to the Ministry of Engineering to rebuild the Fengzao Palace. It must be gorgeous. Ask Jia Zhen."

　　Jia Zhen was startled, and almost cried: "Your Majesty, if you go with your will, even if you go bankrupt, you won't be able to repair your palace! Your Majesty, please forgive me!" Now, both eyes are aimed at the golden pillar next to him.

　　Seeing his unlovable appearance, the emperor suddenly smiled and said: "Okay, I'm not poor enough to ask for your money to build a house. Even if you are willing to give it, I still won't ask for it! But [-] taels can't be less. It's your punishment for talking nonsense!"

　　Jia Zhen took a long sigh of relief. Fortunately, it only cost fifty thousand.What happened just now is far more terrifying than the consequences of saying the wrong thing before!On the question of whether life is more important or money is more important, apparently Jia Zhen still thinks money is the most important.

　　The emperor finally graciously made the two of them equal.

　　Jia Zhen's legs were trembling and weak, and she couldn't get up for a long time.

　　The emperor ordered Dai Quan, "Give the Marquis of Ningyang a stool."

　　Jia Zhen hurriedly postponed: "I dare not!"

　　The emperor smiled and said, "Don't you dare? I'll give you a cushion and sit on the ground!"

　　Dai Quan gave Jia Zhen a cushion with a bright yellow dragon pattern.Jia Zhen hesitated and still did not dare to sit.

　　The emperor was displeased and said: "I asked you to sit, but you really dare to resist the decree?"

　　Jia Zhen just sat on the cushion and stretched out her feet.

　　Next to him, Niu Jizong looked at Jia Zhen with admiration, this kid really is in the Sacred Heart!

　　After a while, Jia Zhen's legs were no longer numb, so she stood up and thanked her.

　　The emperor said: "The cushion you sit on will be given to you!"

　　Jia Zhen was reluctant and pretended to be grateful.A soft cushion of at most five taels of silver has to burn incense every day to make offerings, so what's the use of it if you can't sit?

　　It's just that this thing is soft and comfortable to sit on, why don't you give it to Daiyu quietly!Uh, no, how can I give her something that other men have used?

　　Thinking so, Jia Zhen glanced at the dragon chair, which is inlaid with gold and silver jewelry, which is really priceless!Completely disregarding Niu Jizong's almost greedy eyes that were about to fall, what kind of honor was the royal gift of the golden dragon? !

　　When the two saw that the emperor was reviewing the memorial again, they retired in unison.

　　When the two of them were about to reach the gate of the palace, the emperor said, "It's time for you to clean up your army."

　　The two looked at each other in awe, awe-inspiring.

　　On the way out, both of them were silent.When he finally left the palace, he let out a long sigh.

　　Niu Jizong said with lingering fears: "Master Jia, this old man has taken advantage of you today. Otherwise, I am afraid that this old man will have to arrange the funeral."

　　Jia Zhen smiled and said, "Let's be with each other. If it wasn't for the cooperation of my uncle, my little nephew would not be able to speak alone!"
