The Red Chamber: Lianyufengchai

Baochai teased: "Yu'er, you open your mouth, let you talk about the good and bad, you only talk about whether your brother is good to you or not"

Daiyu shyly said, "Isn't it bad for you guys, wait, I tell him to go!"

As she said that, she was about to go back. Xiangyun stopped her, "Sister Lin, of course my brother is facing you."

Daiyu smiled and said, "I'm right, of course it should be towards me!"

But when Daiyu walked in front of Jia Lian, she didn't know what to say. "Brother, it's only at the old lady's place, the one that Sister Feng said... Xiaodan is very similar to me and everyone can see it, don't I know? It is good to mention sister Keqing and Qingwen. You wait to go home and see how Sister Keqing imagines me to be like me. There are many similar people in the world, so why hide it in my brother's eyes? Such a cautious person really underestimates me."

The front elder sister Feng said, "Girls, you are making trouble late, and you are not afraid of the girls laughing! It's time to take a break, be careful that you won't be able to get up again tomorrow. The old lady talks and asks people to invite you again and again."

They quietly walked down the hallway and went back to Baosha. Sister Feng went to see off Aunt Xue and Baochai. Jia Lian looked at Baochai's back and disappeared into the darkness. He couldn't guess what Baochai was thinking. What, it was fine in the beginning, but it seems that a sentence just now annoyed her again. No wonder they say that women's hearts are under the sea, sometimes sunny and sometimes cloudy. Well, find a chance to have a good talk with her. At least you need to explain the misunderstanding opened.

Chapter [*] The secret meeting outside the imperial mausoleum returned to the small courtyard, but Keqing ignored him, only Miaoyu handed him a piece of paper with a smile, "Sister Qin said that you should translate it yourself, she is just annoyed. !"

Jia Lian couldn't help but say, "If you say a long image, why is it that some people still think that I resemble a certain suspect who was exiled three thousand miles away, and I didn't say anything."

Miaoyu spat: "Brother, don't talk nonsense, you are the prince of the country, and you have a high position. If you are exiled, what will our family do?"

Jia Lian sat down and said, took a book and turned it over. After reading the content on the paper, he burned it again. "What are you worried about, since the last time there was such a big movement, we are not prepared. It will settle you all eventually."

Miaoyu sat beside him silently, "If you're not here, no matter how much money we have, it's useless."

Jia Lian stretched out his hand and touched her lower abdomen, "Why not yet"

"Pooh!"

Miaoyu was so embarrassed that she ran away. She happened to bump into Sister Feng who had lifted the curtain and came in. Sister Feng supported Miaoyu, saw her blushing and said jokingly, "Second Master, I'm not here at the right time."

Jia Lian Shi Shi Ran sat down and said, "You came just in time. Tomorrow I will take Sister Lin to the imperial mausoleum to pay homage to my uncle. You will have to worry more about family affairs."

Sister Feng just sneered, "I'm really going to worship, so I don't plan to go out to see the scenery."

Jia Lian knocked on the table, "Since you think so, why don't you let you go tomorrow, Jia Guo and they will protect you, it's very safe."

Sister Feng just smiled and said: "That's what I said, you brothers and sisters are so good, I accompany me, it's not easy to explain in front of my uncle!"

Jia Lian shook his head and said, "Thinking about the things that don't have a shadow, it's better to keep your spirits, these things at home are enough to bother you."

Sister Feng looked at him carefully, "Second Master, I have something to ask you, you can't be annoyed."

Jia Lian was a little impatient, and was afraid that she would ask something, "I have something to do. I'll talk about it tomorrow!"

Sister Feng laughed and said, "You've already gone out tomorrow, what else can I ask you to hide!"

Jia Lian couldn't help laughing and said, "Why do I want to hide it?"

Sister Feng said: "It's obvious that everyone who is close and intimate is named Yu'er, and she is still the former sister Lin, I don't know if I look at it."

Jia Lian nodded and said, "It's no big deal, you can do it too."

Sister Feng looked at Jia Lian, but she was hesitant to speak. She couldn't say anything, so she could only sigh: "Be careful when you go tomorrow. Don't let anyone see anything."

Jia Lian felt that Sister Feng seemed to have noticed something, and answered vaguely, "I will meet two important people tomorrow, let's rest early!"

They hugged them from left to right. They both pinched his waist and eyes at the same time. How could this small request not satisfy him? The next day, Jia Lian reported to the old lady early in the morning, and Daiyu went out of the city to pay homage. The old lady instructed carefully, Fang Ken let Daiyu go out, and let Wen Bianzi follow. Jia Lian thought it would be too inconvenient for people on the road, so he refused. The knights of Rongguo Palace guarded two carriages. They went out of the city in a mighty way. There is a considerable distance from the Shenjing in the imperial mausoleum. Yi, why don't people feel speechless all the way. By the time they reach the imperial mausoleum, it is already sunset. Jia Lian helps Daiyu to get out of the car, "Let's stay at the farmhouse for one night, and we'll go to pay homage tomorrow."

Daiyu has been driving for a day, and her already weak body is even more tired. Now Zijuan will serve her and take a rest. She has arranged for escorts. Jia Lian only leads two people on foot, and walks a few hundred steps. It is another farmhouse with a weak fence. There were lights flickering inside. Jia Lian walked in alone. It was none other than Niu Jizong and Liu Fang sitting at the table. The dishes were half over and the wine had been served for three times. Niu Jizong squinted at Jia Lian and waved to him. , "It's good to be upright, now it's almost the time of the day. Young people just don't know how to respect the elderly."

Jia Lian cupped his hands and smiled: "Two uncles, forgive me!"

Liu Fang said: "I can't blame you, you are also bringing a delicate little girl, and it is not bad to be able to arrive at this time. Warm up with a drink."

Jia Lian sat at the table, "Fortunately, Uncle Liu Shi came back from such a far place."

Liu Fang poured Jia Lian a full glass of wine, "The old lady at home is not feeling well, she really has to come back."

Jia Lian hurriedly asked, "How is the old lady's health?"

Liu Fang smiled and said, "I occasionally feel a cold, but the imperial doctor said it was serious."

Jia Lian was relieved. Niu Jizong said, "Brother Liu, you're even taking advantage of it."

Liu Fang sighed: "It's true, I have to do it. If I hadn't made a decision to ride out of the city alone that day, if there was a little hesitation, I might have gone to prison."

Jia Lian pointed at Niu Jizong, "I'm afraid many people are scolding you behind your back. You can sleep at night."

Niu Jizong raised his head and drank a cup, "The emperor's hand is shady enough to count birds with one stone. If Fatty Feng hadn't accidentally missed his hand, the current situation would have been even worse."

Liu Fang also said: "The emperor is determined to eliminate our noble forces and start a new one. There is only one way before us."

Jia Lian shook his head: "Not necessarily."

He leaned forward a little and whispered: "The emperor's body may not be able to support his ambitions."

Niu Jizong and Liu Fang looked solemn and asked in a deep voice, "This is true"

Jia Liandao: "There were also news circulating before, but they were all deceived by the emperor. But I can be sure that the emperor's body has reached an incurable state."

Niu Jizong asked cautiously: "I don't doubt your source, but it's just that it's really incurable. You also have eyes and ears in the palace."

The old god Jia Lian was not talking, so naturally he would not tell them that he could see it at a glance. This made Liu Fang on the side stunned, "Brother Lian, Duke Rong! It turns out that you have traveled farther than us!"

Niu Jizong didn't think it was scary enough, "Don't look at his lazy look, in fact, he's a very ghost, and he doesn't know how far his hand is stretched out."

Jia Lian said reservedly: "I'm just afraid of death, thinking that if someone comes to raid my house or kill me, there will be time for me to escape."

Liu Fang said with contempt, "You already have this power, and thinking about this is just embarrassing to your grandfather."

Niu Jizong said: "Let's get down to business! Brother Lian, tell the truth, how much can you control over Jingying?"

Jia Lian said cautiously: "Now there is only Yunguang Jiedu in the Beijing camp, and Fatty Feng is still there: Dali Temple is closed, and the emperor has not appointed a new Jiedu to replace him. If people dare to act in favor of yin and disobey, if I immediately rebel, I am afraid that only [*] to [*] will be brought out. This is still due to the shadow of my grandfather."

Liu Fang said: "It's already very good. As long as you plan properly, it's enough."

Niu Jizong knocked on the table, "We are not going to rebel now."

Chapter [*]: Not rebelling, but also discussing Jia Lian said: "Although the emperor's health is getting worse, no one knows how long he can last. I'm afraid the hospital doesn't know. At this time, the emperor naturally needs political stability."

Niu Jizong shook his head and said: "The more this time is, the more dangerous it is. For the little prince to take over the government smoothly, the emperor will not hesitate to eliminate any power that he can't control. For example, Brother Lian, you, like Liu Fang, as for me "

Jia Lian smiled and said: "Uncle Niu, you have a simple and honest face, but you are actually much more sinister than us. If the emperor made up his mind to get rid of me and Uncle Liu Shi, he would never let you be merciful. Otherwise, the capital will fall into your hands again. Here, the situation will be even worse than when the emperor first ascended the throne! You have a criminal record."

Liu Fang said: "The three of us are grasshoppers on a rope, and no one can escape. It's better to be frank than to say that these are useless. What should we do?"

Niu Jizong put down his chopsticks with a smile, "If Brother Lian's news is true, then what we have to do is actually very simple, that is, the greater the power we control, the safer it will be. When the emperor's deadline is approaching, he will definitely not set off a bigger one. What's more, if it wasn't for Brother Lian the first two times, the Emperor Taishang would have recovered a long time ago. It is estimated that in his heart, there is no certainty of victory. But if the emperor's body is safe, or can last for three years and five years, we will be like this. I'm courting death. I'll ask you again, are you sure how long the emperor will live? Please answer seriously, this is related to the lives of many of us."

He and Liu Fang stared at Jia Lian. Jia Lian also looked at them and said, "It's fine this year, but I don't know next year, and it certainly won't last until the year after."

The two of them were silent. There was only Jia Lian in the house who was eating and drinking alone. Only when Jia Lian had eaten and drank did they regain their senses from their contemplation. Liu Fang smiled bitterly: "This is actually a dilemma. The chance that the emperor will deal with us is half and half, and when I think that it becomes a hundred because of this, I feel it is not worth it."

Niu Jizong broke his illusion, "Even if it's only half or even [*]%, it's unbearable for us. We don't want to rebel, we just want to protect ourselves."

Jia Lian sighed: "I'm more reluctant to do this than you guys. I never thought about how much power I can have in my hands. It's better to be a dummy who eats and waits to die. It's enough. I also have a beautiful wife at home. A concubine, gold and silver, enjoys inexhaustible glory and wealth. I don't want anyone to ruin such a good day, even if he is the emperor."

Liu Fang gritted her teeth and patted the table, "So, we have reached an agreement again. Let's talk, what should we do?"

Niu Jizong said with a smile: "Brother Lian's Beijing camp is the top priority. I think, the emperor's previous cleaning completely disrupted everyone's plans, especially the two kings of Beijing and Zhongshun, who were cleaned up. It just gave Brother Lian the opportunity to carry out a two-pronged approach. First, he continued to promote the middle-level generals in the camp, from all the guerrillas to guerrillas, guerrillas to lieutenants, and vice-generals to general soldiers, and to be generous. The second is to meet the emperor's wishes and to recruit elite soldiers from all over the place. Beijing camp, and rush those who are disobedient to the local or Jiubian. In this way, the number of people in the Beijing camp will be expanded to more than [*], which will be enough to suppress the imperial city's forbidden army. In addition, Yunguang has an idea. come over."

Jia Lian pondered for a while, "Yunguang has a deep relationship with it. Last time, he ordered the Beijing camp to put up the Jia character banner. It is still unpredictable for the time being."

Niu Jizong sneered, "If you can't figure it out, replace it. Think about it. You must replace it with your own."

Jia Lian nodded and said: "You can start with the part directly under me. This has the advantage of greatly reducing the attention of the emperor. As long as we keep it secret, Jia Dai is fine, whether it is stealing the beam or changing the column, and boil a frog in warm water."

"The children can be taught!"

Niu Jizong said: Anyway, you have a lot of eyes and ears, how to win over and suppress you, don't want me to teach you. As for Brother Liu, it may be a little troublesome."

Jia Lian said with a smile: "It's not too much trouble, now that Uncle Liu Shi is in control of the Nine Sides, and Jiedu declares greatness, as long as Uncle Liu Shi has the guts to wait until the little prince of the Tartars invades the side and win the battle, let's let Uncle Liu Shi move to the town of Yansui, or Longyou. In this way, we can occupy the geographical advantage. If something happens, we can help as soon as possible."

Liu Fang nodded and said: "The little prince's department has attacked several times recently, and it is time to fight back. It's not difficult. It's just that, Brother Lian, your in-law prince has entered the pavilion, so it's probably a precaution against this."

Niu Jizong sneered: "Prince Teng is nothing to be afraid of. Although he was born in the Beijing camp and once served as a military envoy, he no longer has his old department in the Beijing camp. Besides, the emperor was also rising and secretly descending at that time, and his nine provinces were all in charge. , It sounds scary, but in fact, he is an imperial commissioner who patrols the borders with orders, and he does not focus on the nine borders, and he has no soldiers and horses.

Jia Lian asked again: "What should I do at Uncle Hou Shi's place?"

Niu Jizong said with contempt: "Hou Xiaokang has too many feces in his stomach. I can't figure out what to do with him, so I won't make his plans. If I need it in the future, I'm worried that he will turn against the tide."

Jia Lian suddenly smiled and said, "Uncle Liu Shi and I did everything. Uncle Niu Shi, just stand on the dry bank and watch."

Niu Jizong glared at Jia Lian, "The idea just now wasn't made by me. If something happens to you, I will be the mastermind. If it really comes to that time, you will be so loyal and keep it secret for me."

The two shook their heads at the same time, "No!"

Niu Jizong said disappointedly, "I really can't count on you."

Liu Fang said: "Only in this way will you do your best and not give up halfway."

Jia Lian said: "If I go to prison, I know that Uncle Niu Shi will definitely meet the dead in order to avoid suspicion. Therefore, I must not let you have extravagant thoughts and retreats."

Niu Jizong cursed: "You are really united! Do you still have any conscience?"

Jia Lian didn't change his face, spread out his hands and said: "I'm in a hurry today, things like conscience are too ostentatious, and they are kept at home."

Liu Fang gave him a thumbs up, "I've been fighting for half my life, how can there be such a precious thing as conscience,"

After the three of them laughed, they stretched out their three hands and folded them together, "May we never have a time when it is necessary."

"We don't rebel, we just want to protect ourselves."

"I just want to end my life, with a full family of children and grandchildren, and continue to wear the title."

Niu Jizong laughed and said, "It's just you being long-winded. After this time, we will try to meet as little as possible in the future. We must report the news and follow the rules that have been discussed. There are no exceptions."

Liu Fang agreed: "I hope I can entertain the two of you in my mansion without worrying about being suspected."

Jia Lian suddenly asked: "Two uncles, when you came, you must have done a good job of hiding."

"That's natural!"

"No problem at all."

Jia Lian smiled and said, "Then I can rest assured."

Niu Jizong said suspiciously: "What do you want to do?"

Jia Lian turned around and went out, "I just want to test someone."
