The Red Chamber: Lianyufengchai

Jia Lian said angrily: "If I read a single word in the letter today, the Jinyi Army will immediately check Jia's mansion! We won't be able to escape at that time! You are still protecting him, do you know that King Beijing is the iron net? Uncle Lin, the mastermind of the siege and rebellion in Sanda, did so heroically because he refused to submit. Do you know that his princess is the Zhen family with the surname of Zhen, and it is also a big crime to rebel!

"Come on!"

Jia Lian shouted. Outside the door, Jia Shou immediately came in. "Tie Jia Baoyu!"

The old lady and Mrs. Wang panicked, "You can't do this, he's your brother!"

Jia Lian shouted: "Old lady, I'm trying to be unfilial today, and I'm going to tie Jia Baoyu to the Daming Palace to face the Holy Spirit. Do you want the Jia family or him!"

Jia Zhengcai woke up from the shock. He originally thought that King Beijing was just cut off from his post, or that he was implicated, and would have a rebirth. Now it seems that he has been planning for a long time, and he can't help but lose his color. "You renegade child! Hurry up! I personally Take him to face the saint. I hope the emperor can see the face of the ancestors of the Jia family and be able to open up."

The old lady and Mrs. Wang were in tears, but they couldn't stop it. "Baoyu"

Poor Baoyu was in trouble without knowing it.

Chapter 100: The feeling of waiting for the sentencing. It is almost an inevitable rule that any big family has children who are not successful. The Jia family has lasted for [*] years. Even Baoyu, who hates reading, and who hates officialdom, can become a family's hope. Jia Lian is not targeting Baoyu. With his status, Baoyu could have been ignored long ago, so the old ladies and the others treated her as a treasure and coaxed her, and they couldn't see the reality. When Jia Zheng was furious, the old lady could only persuade: "He is still a child, what can he understand? You beg the emperor for mercy, don't punish him."

Madam Wang also cried, "Master, can you ask the empress to tell the emperor?"

Jia Zheng stomped his feet and said: "You still don't understand, I'm afraid that the Jia family won't be able to save this wicked son. Do you still want to implicate the empress? The old lady loves him on weekdays, cultivates his arrogant temperament, and doesn't want to read, I don't want to be delusional. But it's too late to make friends with bandits and bring disaster to the whole family!"

Jia Lian pondered to himself, is this King Beijing planning to do something to frame it intentionally? If that is the case, it is considered to have broken the guarantee of the Emperor Taishang, so don't blame me for being ruthless! On the other hand, Baoyu was trembling with fear from Jia Zheng, and hurriedly knelt down in front of the old lady. , "Ancestor, save me! Save me!"

The old lady had to say to Jia Lian: "Brother Lian"

Jia Lian shook his head: "Old lady, now my grandson is also unable to protect himself! We were just talking about what happened to the Zhen family, and now it's our turn. I was beaten to death for this family outside, and Baoyu destroyed it in one trip. What do you want me to do, what can I do?"

He sighed heavily, "I still have to do some preparations, lest the Jinyi Army come, we will be caught off guard, and there will always be a step back."

Seeing Jia Lian like this, from the old lady Mrs. Wang to Jia Zheng's heart sinks. How did you get to this step? Jia Zheng slapped Baoyu heavily! Immediately. Enter the palace to apologize!"

The old lady watched Jia Shou and the others tied Baoyu with thick hemp ropes, and pushed and pulled them out. "Baoyu!"

The old lady, Madam Wang, was heartbroken, but she was helpless! Jia Lian thought to himself, whether the matter was too big or too small, the emperor would not have raided the Jia family for this, especially since it caused a storm in the south of the Yangtze River, let alone It may cause turmoil in the Shenjing. Taking a step back, even if the King of Beijing really has some collusion with Baoyu, he will not treat Jia Lian. If you don't want to say it more seriously, the old ladies thought that Baoyu was really a treasure. In the yard, when Sister Feng woke up, she was about to get up, but was pushed down by Jia Lian, "Feng'er, I want to take my uncle with me. Baoyu will go to the palace. It's a little troublesome, but it's not that serious, so don't worry!"

Sister Feng hurriedly asked the reason, and Jia Lian explained it in detail. Sister Feng listened and laughed, "You are not dissatisfied with deliberately making jokes about the old lady and the others."

Jia Lian said sternly: "Otherwise, who in this family will teach him a lesson, you can't reveal it! On the contrary, the more serious the better! Even you!"

He turned his head to look at Ping'er. Ping'er spat: "Thanks to his own brother, even with such a plan, I don't see your usual teaching."

Sister Feng said with a smile: "Ping'er dares to kick her nose with her hoof, and even said what I dare not say!"

Jia Lian sneered: "There is an old lady at home who protects me. It doesn't hurt or itches, but I feel sick. Even you are not allowed to go out."

Sister Feng suddenly said: "Taking advantage of this time, I want to see who in the family can trust who eats inside and out!"

"The family will be handed over to you, and Jia will stay and see who dares to mess up! Also, explain the garden and let Keqing and the others rest assured!"

Jia Lian instructed a few more words, changed the Wu Shaguan, and walked out with a worried look on his face. The steward and the maid soon knew that Second Master Bao had caused a big disaster, and he might be involved. Home! People were panicky and smart, they had already packed up and were ready to run away at any time. Besides... many people who asked for leave to go home, Sister Feng sneered and said, "I was about to fire a group, and these people want to jump in the face of adversity. Ships, all removed!"

Let's say Jia Lian Jia Zheng took Jia Baoyu into the Daming Palace. After waiting outside the palace for about half an hour, many ministers came out of the palace. Zhang Shoufu came over and said to Jia Lian with a smile: "Brother Lian, this time you are Jiangnan. The trip has not only eliminated the harm to the court, but also enriched the treasury, and the credit goes to the society! The emperor also greatly appreciated it just now. Don't be complacent! The capital still belongs to your admiral, and everything is quiet, remember!"

Jia Lian handed over and said yes. Zhang Shoufu looked at Jia Baoyu who was bound in surprise, "Why?"

Jia Lian smiled and said, "My younger brother made a little mistake, and I will send it to the emperor!"

Zhang Shoufu stroked his beard, greeted Jia Zheng, and left. Then came Zhang Junming, the censor of the Youdu, Jia Lian hurriedly bowed to greet him: "Hello, teacher!"

Zhang Junming patted his shoulder and said with a smile, "Very good!"

Then he left. Jia Shouzhong from the Ministry of Rites first said to Jia Lian: "I have written the preface of your collection, and someone will come to pick it up another day!"

After saying a few more words to Jia Zheng, I left. The ministers who passed by said hello to Jia Lian, some called Mr. Jia, some called the Duke of the State, and some called Jia Lian, Brother Lian. As for Jia Zheng, That's by the way. As for Baoyu, it doesn't even exist in a tie. Finally, the prince came out. Baoyu hurriedly shouted: "Uncle!"

Wang Ziteng raised his eyes and saw Baoyu being tied up, and asked what was the matter. Jia Zhenglue said, Wang Ziteng was shocked, "I shouldn't have gone to King Beijing's place, and you dare to pass it on in private after you've gone, it's really stupid! Wait a minute: go straight in. Acknowledging sins, don't get tattoos to make up for faults!"

After speaking, he hurried away. Jia Lianxiao said to Jia Zheng, "This is also unreliable!"

Jia Zheng nodded melancholy, his heart extremely heavy. "Let's go! It's life or death, it's all up to me, I hope the emperor can let Baoyu live!"

Jia Lian didn't speak. Dai Quan came to announce that they would enter the palace to see him. In the warm pavilion, the emperor was in a good mood at the moment! When he saw a few Jia Lian coming in, he smiled and said, "Jia Lian, what the hell are you doing today and tying one up? "

Jia Lian's report made it clear. Jia Zheng hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed to plead guilty. He was not strict with his own son, and was willing to take the blame for Baoyu. Baoyu had been praised and praised since he was a child. I have to face the unknown ending. I have long been overwhelmed and speechless. The emperor's face sinks like water, "Jia Lian, you know what King Beijing wrote to you."

Jia Lian replied, "I don't know."

The emperor asked: "You really don't know why you don't take it apart and tear it up. Is it a guilty conscience?"

Jia Zheng's heart was abrupt. It seemed that the emperor was already unhappy. He just heard Jia Lian say: "I dare not, I have a clear conscience! I thought that King Beijing could collude with anyone, but not with him. It's too late for the minister, it must be a dirty trick, don't ask to know!"

The emperor sneered: "Is that really true?"

Jia Lian frowned, his attitude toward the emperor was uncertain. His own honor and disgrace were all in his mind. If he became dizzy and irrational for a while, one sentence would determine the future of Jia's residence. Jia Lian took a deep breath, "Chen Loyalty is the same, you can see it every day!"

Ai Pavilion immediately. It became: icy cold, and did not speak. Only heard the sound of the emperor's fingers tapping on the imperial case. Every stroke seemed to hit Jia Zheng Jia Baoyu's heart. This feeling of waiting for the sentence is the most difficult to bear. .

Chapter [*] He never remembered the lesson for a long time before the emperor said quietly: "Then do you want to know what Shuishun wrote to you?"

In shock, Jia Lian shook his head and said, "I don't want to know."

The emperor stood up, walked over to him, and handed him a letter, "Look at it!"

Jia Lian couldn't help shaking his hands. It was possible that King Beijing only wrote it. The emperor already knew the content and other things. Did the emperor know that he was uneasy in opening the letter. The whole text was full of thanks, especially thanks to him in Jiangnan. He did his best to protect the family members of Zhen's family, so that they would not be poisoned and scattered. Jia Lian hurriedly knelt down, "This minister is guilty!"

The emperor asked, "What's your sin?"

Jia Lian gritted his teeth and said, "This minister should not show favoritism and give the Zhen family a favor, and should be severely punished to avoid future troubles forever."

The emperor snatched the letter from Jia Lian's hand and kicked him lightly, "Don't pretend to be confused in front of me! If you really do that, I won't worry about you. You are very good, you know how to advance and retreat, honor and disgrace, and guard against No big deal."

For a long time, Jia Lian has always been a person who values ​​love and righteousness and lust. If he sells all the daughters of the Zhen family to the brothel and Jiaofang Division, he will not care about the friendship of several decades, and it will be ruthless and ruthless. It has become a vain, and he has not yet made up his mind. Before he rides the crane to the west, he will get rid of him no matter what. Jia Lian stands up, "Your Majesty, I don't dare to praise you, but I really can't do that. According to the law They were only implicated, and the ministers redeemed them and put them in another place, and that's the only way. And they didn't let Zhen Yingjia escape, which really caused trouble."

The emperor smiled and said: "Zhen Yingjia has been operating in Jiangnan for many years. Once you have cleaned up his nests and cleaned up those who are related to him, you can say that you have done your best. In this way, Zhen Yingjia alone is not to be feared, and I ordered the Jinyi Army to search carefully. that is"

Jia Lian said: "Thank you the emperor for your kindness!"

The emperor covered his mouth with a handkerchief and coughed a few times. After looking at it, he sighed: "Jia Lian, there are many people in the world who turn their faces and turn their faces ruthlessly. You still have some sincere feelings. Be kind to your heart and live up to my expectations!"

Jia Lian bowed and said: "I obey the order! It's just that my younger brother is young and ignorant. Not only does he often go in and out of Beijing's palace, but he also gives and receives privately, which is a big taboo. It is the people who make a big mistake, and spare his life to see the aftermath!"

The emperor looked at Baoyu who was bound, "You are the younger brother of Concubine Xiande"

Baoyu's knees were already in pain. Hearing the emperor's question, he hurriedly knocked on the floor tiles, "Yes!"

The emperor took a closer look, smiled and said: "His face is very good, but unfortunately he is a confused person. There are many famous words of yours in the capital, and even I know a little bit, but I think it's just like Liu Sanbian. Give it to him. Untie! Get up!"

Xiaohuangmen next to him untied the rope for him. Baoyu just stood up, but was kicked down to his knees by Jia Zheng. Jia Zheng is an honest and kind person. "Reporting to the emperor, this minister is blunt in aptitude, and has no way to teach his son. Although he has been conscientious and conscientious for many years, he has not made any contribution to the court. The minister feels full of guilt, and is old and frail, and lacks energy to serve. Teach your youngest son, I don't want him to make a fortune and get ahead, I just want him to keep his footing and behave in a proper way. Besides, he has nothing else to think about."

The emperor smiled and said: "You don't need to do this. Young people make mistakes occasionally. As long as they know their mistakes and can correct them, they will be very good! You are Jia Lian's uncle and the father of the virtuous concubine. How can you become an official for this matter?"

Jia Zheng also asked, and the emperor waved his hand, "If Jia Lian did this, I would definitely punish it severely, and I can't say that I have taken the brand of your Rongguofu with heart."

Jia Zheng felt anxious and uneasy. The father and son kowtowed again and pleaded guilty. "Okay!"

The emperor said: "This matter is only what Jia Baoyu has done, so there is no serious problem. Forgive him and he can't do anything, so there is no need to go into it. The political veteran will stop him, and he will not be allowed to run around."

Only then did Jia Zheng feel relieved, "The minister must strictly discipline him to prevent him from causing trouble!"

The emperor nodded: "That's good, if you don't cut jade, you can't make a tool. Speaking of jade, I heard that when there is a piece of grass, it may bring me to see it."

Jia Zheng thought that the psychic treasure jade was still there. He went back to get it, but unexpectedly, the treasure jade was taken out from the clothes and held in her hand. It turned out that the old lady, Mrs. Wang, was worried that she would not be punished, so she specially let her carry it, maybe to ward off evil spirits. Dai Quan took it. I gave my hands to the emperor. The emperor looked at it carefully and said with a smile: "It's so small and delicate, it's really rare, I've never tried it before."

Jia Zheng quickly replied: "It's just an ordinary stone, how could it ever be effective?"

The emperor took the jade in his hand and played with it, and said, "Or the time may not come and we will not know."

Jia Zheng hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, this thing should be brought to the front of the imperial court as an atonement."

The emperor laughed: "I never believe in any auspicious talk, how could I covet this little thing in the market rumors, there are many falsehoods, don't care about it. Remember it as usual, but it seems guilty. I'm tired, you go down! Jia Lian stays."

Jia Zheng Jia Baoyu took back the jade, and just stepped back. I saw the emperor pointing at the corner of a wall with an incense about the thickness of a finger, "Since your brother left the Beijing Palace, I've been thinking about when you will come."

Jia Lian asked worriedly: "What would happen if the minister didn't arrive before the incense burnt out?"

The emperor smiled and said: "The important thing is that you arrived before the burn. I am very satisfied!"

"emperor!"

Jia Lian shouted: "This is unreasonable, if the minister has something to do. If I go out or they didn't tell me about it, wouldn't the minister be wronged to death?"

In fact, he really couldn't catch up with his own girl, Hundred Days. The emperor nodded his head: "You are right, I will try to understand it next time."

Jia Lian wanted to cry but had no tears, but his heart sank a little. "Okay, I'm not a fool, so I won't be bored playing these tricks. You can rest assured!"

Jia Lian cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty Shengming!"

Seeing that his face was not good, the emperor smiled and said, "How does it feel to be almost pitted by your own brother?"

Jia Lian smiled bitterly and said, "It's really people sitting at home, and disasters come from the sky. I'm still scared now!"

The emperor said: "There is also a doting old lady in the key family, which makes you in a dilemma, right?"

"Your Majesty!"

Jia Lian bowed and said, "I feel the same way about what is holy and not holy! Back then, it was too much for the emperor, and it's boring to talk about it now."

The emperor sat back on the throne, and suddenly said solemnly: "Jia Lian, today this kind of thing is on your face, I will not pursue it, but there will be no next time! Take good care of your family and your relatives. Dignified Duke Rong, he is very powerful outside, how can he be so obedient at home that he can't even manage the family members, how can I believe that you can manage the Beijing camp for me?"

Jia Lian said solemnly: "I dare not obey the order and thank you!"

Besides, in Rongguo Mansion, since Jia Lian, Jia Zheng and Jia Baoyu left, people have been panicking. The old lady, Mrs. Wang, Mrs. Xing, and Aunt Xue, who got the news, are all anxiously waiting in the second door, constantly making people feel uncomfortable. They flew to report the letter. Sister Feng, Li Wan, and Mrs. You stood under the corridor of the lobby and taught Jia Rong to inquire about the news. Jia Rong reported after a while that the master and uncle, uncle Bao were in the Daming Palace, and the information inside could not be known. When the little eunuch came out, he refused to reveal it, because I was afraid it was not good news. Sister Feng spat: "Fuck! If people didn't say anything, they knew it was not good news. If they spread the truth again, be careful that I will expose your skin for your uncle! "

Jia Rong smiled apologetically and said, "Good aunt, please forgive my nephew once, and I'll ask again! I'm sure my uncle will be fine."

You Shi hurriedly asked, "How do you know?"

The veil in your hand is about to be twisted, Second Master Lian, you must not be in trouble. Ah! Jia Rong said: "It's obvious that my uncle was implicated by Uncle Bao, and he tore it off without reading the letter. How big can it be? It's just that Uncle Bao doesn't know."

The old lady was even more anxious when she heard it. Li Wan was uneasy, and looked out from time to time, as if she was even more anxious than Sister Feng. She didn't know what was wrong herself, neither worried about Baoyu nor her father-in-law, only when she heard Jia Lian There might be something. I was nervous and clenched my fists subconsciously, and even blue veins appeared. After two hours and two hours, I suddenly saw Lin Zhixiao and other three or four housekeepers running into the door of ceremonies panting, "Master and Second Master Bao. came back!"

"Call in!"

The old lady said anxiously. Baoyu ran in with a smile all the way, and when she saw the old lady, she called out, "Old Ancestor, I'm fine!"

The old lady hugged him with a headache, "It's fine, it's fine!"

Mrs. Wang and Aunt Xue both covered their faces and wept in tears. When Jia Zheng came back, they were so busy that they were tied up. The old lady stopped them and shouted, "I see who dares!"

Jia Zheng stomped his feet and said: "Old lady, don't protect him anymore! I thought he was really fine, if the emperor hadn't looked at Brother Lian's credit and empress's face, how could he have easily forgiven his emperor's will, Make him stop studying at home and not go out to cause trouble! Brother Lian hasn't returned yet, I don't know what happened. Old lady, my son has something in his heart, and I have to say it today. Today's affairs are all faults of not reading! Old lady, I wish I could strangle him with a rope and go underground to apologize to my father. Son, please, if you spoil this wicked son again, what should we do in this family? If you can protect him for a while, and you can protect him for the rest of his life, if something goes wrong in the future, who can protect him?”

The old lady said angrily: "Okay, okay! You discipline your son, I can't control it! Go, kill him!"

Jia Zheng wept and said, "My son is not filial, but today my son has to teach this unruly son a lesson, and he must know that the sky is high! Please go back to the room and rest."
