Jia Zhen, Uncle of the Red House

　　No way.

　　What should I do?

　　The little princess lost her mind.Thinking of the rumors outside that Ning Guogong Jia Zhen is a great hero (although there is a problem), both civil and military, with extraordinary appearance... It should be, maybe, it may be reasonable, right?

　　She opened Xue Tao's paper and wrote in delicate handwriting: "Your Excellency Ning Guogong" felt bad, and changed it to: "Your Excellency Jia Zhen", then changed it to: "Your Excellency", or changed it back to: "Your Excellency Ning Guogong".

　　There are only two pages of paper in my hand, and the ground is densely packed with countless clumps.

　　She read it two or three times and thought it was right, so she asked Xiao'e to deliver the letter.

　　That Xiao'e had just arrived at the door, and called her back, and another one who was ugly and stupid went to Ningguo Mansion.

　　But before the letter was delivered to Jia Zhen, Jia Zhen was called by the emperor, which was called an imperial edict.

　　The emperor sat on the throne, obviously a lot older, but his voice was still full of majesty and aloof. "Speaking of which, did you do this?"

　　Jia Zhen admitted it as a bachelor: "If you go back to the emperor, you already know what happened. At that time, the minister was also in a hurry, so he ordered someone to write an article and distribute it around. The minister later found out that it was wrong and immediately took it back. It's still like this. Your Majesty, the minister should be punished for being inattentive, but every word the minister said is true!"

　　The emperor took this memorial and came out, "Now the court asks me to severely punish King Zhongshun, what do you think?"

　　Jia Zhen pretended to be very strange and asked, "Why should you be punished severely?"

　　The emperor smashed the memorial on his head. "Knowingly asking! Say it!"

　　Jia Zhen picked up the memorial, carefully handed it to the throne, and said with a smile, "The emperor doesn't actually need punishment. Because what he did was permitted by the law. Even though we all know that he murdered, he was punished according to the law. No two punishments for one crime, do the laws of the state allow extrajudicial punishment?"

　　The emperor smiled and said, "I thought you would agree with their opinion!"

　　Jia Zhen replied: "Your Majesty, of course, this minister agrees! The three articles of releasing slaves, abolishing regulations and prohibiting prostitution are related to people's livelihood. As long as you do it, the emperor will surely be praised by all the people, and every family will offer you a tablet for longevity. With Tianqi, Wencheng Wude, thousands of generations, unified..."

　　To put it bluntly, I almost said that the rivers and lakes are unified!

　　The emperor smiled and said, "Unify what?"

　　Jia Zhen smiled happily: "Of course it is to rule the world!"

　　The emperor laughed and scolded: "How did you learn these words?"

　　Jia Zhen bowed and said with a smile: "This is all within the emperor's Weijia sea, and he is surrounded by all directions, so it is natural for those who are courtiers."

　　The emperor scolded: "The foreword doesn't match the last words, thanks to your poems being spread outside, only talking about everyone in the dynasty! Why are you always flattering in front of me?"

　　Jia Zhen immediately said solemnly: "Your Majesty, you have wronged the minister. The minister has always been guilty of flattery. How can there be flattery? Even if there is, it is the truth!"

　　The emperor laughed. "Go away, go away!"

　　So soon, the emperor came down with the imperial decree, and indeed ordered the families of the imperial family in Shenjing to release their slaves and servants, and at the same time abolish the low-ranking households. Removal of membership, open to the people, and incorporated into the official account.Repeal the regulations that allow the redemption of clan criminals, and reiterate that clan criminals are punished according to the law.It is strictly forbidden to cultivate prostitutes among the people, and officials are not allowed to engage in male prostitutes.

　　There are eight words at the end of the imperial decree, which will be executed immediately, and will not be traced back!

　　Just when the court and the opposition were praising Jia Zhen for being fair and virtuous, the little princess of Zhongshun's palace blushed, thinking to himself, he must have read my letter, he is really a good man and a hero!

Chapter [-] Gossip in Fengzao Palace

　　When he came out of Daming Palace, the head of the eunuch, Dai Quan Chunfeng, greeted him with a full face, "Master, I haven't seen you in the palace for many days. Our family misses you so much!"

　　Jia Zhen smiled and said: "You don't always mention me before the emperor. If you don't call me, I just want to come in, and there is no way!"

　　Dai Quan walked with him with a smile, "My grandfather has done a big thing, and our family listened to the people below.

　　Jia Zhen was displeased and said, "Why are there Buddhas born in ten thousand families, father-in-law, you are killing me! It's just a momentary anger, I didn't expect it to happen like this."

　　Dai Quan whispered: "The Empress Dowager just summoned the virtuous concubine, and she gave many gifts! Does your grandfather know why?"

　　Jia Zhen pretended to shake her head not knowing.

　　Dai Quan said with a smile, "The Empress Dowager is very happy to be able to speak for King Zhongshun!"

　　Jia Zhen felt a chill in her heart. He just came out of Daming Palace, and the empress dowager knew what he just said. It can be seen that this palace is nothing but a sieve and a colander, and there is no secret at all.It seems that she will be more cautious in her actions in the future, but at the same time, it also makes Jia Zhen understand that as long as there is someone inside, she can find out any news.

　　Thinking of this, Jia Zhen felt a lot more at ease. She stepped forward and said, "Brother recently took over the supply of sweet-scented osmanthus in the palace. You are very familiar with the palace. Would you like to take care of your brother's business? You know, there is me. It's yours, and you won't lose anything."

　　Dai Quan immediately smiled and pretended to be annoyed: "Look at what you said, let's separate each other? It's easy to say, we just go over there and say hello. It's just..."

　　Jia Zhen smiled and said, "Your share is still the same and will be sent to your house on a seasonal basis."

　　Dai Quan said, "Have you seen the outside world? Our family still doesn't believe in you, Master? Our family is saying that I am not alone in the palace. Others, such as Eunuch Xia and Eunuch Zhou, should also share a profit or two!" Looking at Jia Zhen, the smile on his face did not diminish.

　　Without thinking, Jia Zhen said, "This is what it should be. It's just that I'm not as familiar with those as you, so please tell me what the regulations should be. Just tell me and it's over. I'll do it all!"

　　Dai Quan squinted his eyes and floated when he walked, "That's it, I'll just talk to them! Tomorrow, you ask the people under you to go to the Inner Palace to get a license. Although the seedlings, flowers and plants in the palace are only small pieces , but it is also not sloppy, our family opens a list, the empress dowager and several noble concubines have different preferences, and they have to be served, and our business will be long-term."

　　Jia Zhen took the opportunity to tout a few words, and Dai Quan immediately became arrogant and beat a little servant who didn't salute him.

　　Jia Zhen glanced at a servant who had been following behind Dai Quan, and a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth. Thanks to his efforts, he finally achieved some results.

　　The inner servant made a secret gesture towards Jia Zhen, and Jia Zhen nodded, and the gloomy mood that had been robbed by Dai Quan immediately improved.

　　As the emperor and the number one eunuch in front of him, Dai Quan usually speaks to ordinary Hou Boxungui without raising his eyelids, ignoring him, and even in his own home, begging to see his high and low officials, and even kneeling down to greet him.Only for Ning Guogong Jia Zhen, he changed his appearance and met each other.There is also Wu Tianyou, the father of Concubine Wu, who is also someone who can talk to Eunuch Dai.

　　Arriving at the gate of the palace, holding the piano and looking around, seeing Jia Zhen coming, hurriedly trotted over with her skirt in hand, and saluted, "Mr. Zhen, the mother-in-law has passed on you to speak."

　　Dai Quan said with a smile, "Let Xiao Dezi follow him! He is a Ganer from our family. He is the smartest one. He will get closer to the grandfather in the future." Xiao Dezi is the little servant just now.

　　Jia Zhen nodded lightly.

　　So Xiaodezi and Baoqin led Jia Zhen all the way to Fengzao Palace.Baoqin was still so chatty, what should be said and what should not be said, dragged out.

　　Even Jia Zhen had to remind her, "Your mouth doesn't close the door, so be careful that it comes out of your mouth!"

　　Holding the piano and sticking out his tongue, he made a face, "Anyway, Mr. Zhen is not an outsider. You don't know, the palace is very stuffy, and you have to be careful when you take every step. If you break the rules, you will die immediately. You are the only one here. It's easier to relax when you don't have those annoying moms staring at. It's a pity you can't come every day."

　　Jia Zhen smiled and said, "How do you survive in the palace? How can you survive in the palace? Can you make no mistakes for a day?"

　　Baoqin smiled and said: "I'm used to it. When I first came, I was young and ignorant. I was beaten every day to avoid the flesh, and I was almost dead several times."

　　Jia Zhen wondered, "what's the matter with you?"

　　Baoqin pointed to Xiao Dezi, did he hear what he just said?There are a lot of words that are taboo, if he informs...the station holding the piano will be unsteady.

　　Jia Zhen supported her and said with a smile, "I'll just say you can't do big things like this girl. Don't worry, Father-in-law Xiaode won't say anything."

　　That little Dezi smiled at Baoqin, "Sister Baoqin, did you just say that Concubine Wu was mysterious? If something really happened, can you take it seriously?"

　　Holding the piano almost cried.

　　Jia Zhen comforted: "This is a lesson, do you still talk nonsense?"

　　When they arrived at the Fengzao Palace, Gong E had already entered to report, "Niangniang, Duke Ning is here."

　　Yuan Chun didn't wear a phoenix crown and a robe in a serious manner, only ordinary clothes, and looked at the door excitedly.

　　Jia Zhen entered the hall and greeted him with a great ceremony.

　　Yuanchun stepped forward to help Jia Zhen, and said with a smile, "Big brother, are you still doing this kind of politeness here?"

　　Jia Zhen said, "My goddess forgives my gift, that's a grace, but I can't put my nose on my face, it's lawless!"

　　Yuan Chun smiled and said, "Big brother, sit down, I have a lot to tell you!" I saw her relaxed and happy, and her face was radiant.Jia Zhen had never seen her so happy.

　　Jia Zhen took the opportunity to sit down, Yuanchun was next to him, and ordered: "Hold the piano, pour the tea!" Baoqin drove the others away, and poured tea for Jia Zhen himself.

　　I just heard Yuan Chun say excitedly: "Brother, the empress dowager and her old man summoned me just now. You don't know, she has never liked us concubines very much, and she has never seen them very often. I am very nervous when she suddenly summons me today. I was afraid of taking a wrong step and saying the wrong word and annoyed her. It would be doomed. I was prepared for the worst, but as soon as I got there, the Empress Dowager rewarded me with a lot of silk, gold and silver, and Palace flower beads. When I came out, my head was still dazed."

　　Jia Zhen knew that this was what Dai Quan said just now, and the empress dowager thanked him for speaking for King Zhongshun, so she told Yuanchun about it exactly.

　　Yuan Chun's startled mouth couldn't close, and tears flashed in his eyes, "Then Xia Jingui is really pitiful!"

　　Jia Zhen did not correct her either.

　　She whispered, "Isn't a person like this reduced to a commoner to save the people? Why did my brother save him?"

　　Jia Zhen smiled and said, "Have you forgotten how much the Empress Dowager loves her, the only living grandson? Even the Empress has to think twice, which shows how difficult it is to deal with him. It's not good at all, and we don't have to put ourselves in for Xia Jingui."

　　Yuan Chun was silent for a while before sighing: "That's right!"

　　Immediately, she laughed again: "When I was free on weekdays, I made a few gadgets, and when I go back, I will bring them to my sister-in-law." She said, jokingly: "Last time, I heard Mother said that she wanted Baochai to be Baoyu's daughter-in-law, so I rewarded her with the same things as Baoyu. Today, I apologize to my brother, so Baochai is already my brother's?"

　　Jia Zhen just nodded.

　　Yuan Chun covered his mouth and smiled, "Brother, tell me the truth, how many people do you have hidden? Do you want me to ask you a decree to give you a marriage?"

　　Jia Zhen said in distress: "I thought about it too, but before I could say anything, the emperor refused."

　　Yuan Chun laughed out loud, "So brother, do you really still have someone?"

　　This topic is endless, so Jia Zhen immediately changed the subject and asked, "I received news that Concubine Wu has been very active in the palace recently?"

　　"Active?" Yuan Chun said with a smile: "It's active enough. Who doesn't know that her son is most likely to be made the crown prince. Those who tend to be flamboyant are accustomed to holding high and stepping down, and they only regard her as the queen's concubine."

　　"Then is she bad for you?" Jia Zhen asked.

　　Yuan Chun thought for a while, then shook his head and said, "That's not true. She came to my palace yesterday, took my hand and said a lot of things. She also gave me a lot of things. One of them was a perfume from Fanbang. , I smelled it, and I felt that the smell was not as good as our own." She smiled: "Brother, not only is she here, but Sister Li, Sister Wang, and Sister Zhou also come to sit with me every now and then. I was very nervous at first, but later on, I realized that they are all here for you, brother! I want you to support their son to be the prince."

　　Speaking of this, Yuan Chun suddenly asked in a low voice, "Brother, who do you think we should support?" She eagerly wanted to know Jia Zhen's opinion.

　　Jia Zhen looked at Yuan Chun's eyes and looked at her belly, and said strangely, "Can't it be my nephew?"

　　Yuan Chun's face flushed, and he spat, "Brother is making fun of me."

　　Jia Zhen said seriously: "Brother is not making fun of me, I mean it for real, if you can give birth to a prince, then your brother will ensure that he becomes a prince, and then ascends the throne as an emperor, so that you can also enjoy the addiction of empress dowager. !"

　　Yuan Chun's eyes flashed with admiration, but his mood was down. "Brother, I can only tell you this. The emperor has not been here for the night for several months. Every day he just sits and walks, and nine times out of ten, he spends the night at Sister Wu's Changchun Palace. I... just I don't think...you can't give birth!"

　　Jia Zhen also leaned over and whispered in Yuan Chun's ear: "The emperor injured his waist and kidney last time, but he has never recovered. I guess that the emperor is taking care of his body. Even if he spends the night, he may not know that? Otherwise, Wu The imperial concubine has been pampering her for so long, how come she is not pregnant?"

　　Hearing the news, Yuanchun turned his head in a hurry, accidentally making Jia Zhen's beard prick his mouth.

　　Jia Zhen didn't realize it, and Yuan Chun just pretended that it didn't happen, and asked with a blushing face, "You... said, but it's true?"

　　Jia Zhen smiled and said, "Who can say this kind of thing? It's just a reasonable inference."

　　Yuan Chun lowered his head and murmured, "Isn't that even more hopeless?"

　　Jia Zhen also suddenly realized that the problem is big!

　　After a while, Yuan Chun asked, "If I can't give birth, who should I support to be the prince?"

　　Jia Zhen smiled and said, "Anyone will do except the seventh prince! But I can't just break up with them now."

　　The two were quietly discussing side by side, and the sound of holding a piano from outside sounded, "His Royal Highness, the servant will let you know."

　　Princess Changxing's voice: "This princess is here, what do I want you to report?"

　　Only then did the two of them realize that they were sitting too ambiguous. Jia Zhen stood up in a hurry and backed away many steps, and seriously reported to Yuan Chun: "Please rest assured, my mother, the family has always been fine, don't worry about hurting your body."
