The Red Chamber: Lianyufengchai

The crown prince only winked at Jia Lian, which means that if you don't care what you say, you will be punished by yourself with ten beauties! Abandoning the public for personal reasons. If the minister goes back like this, the grandfather and great-grandfather of the minister will not spare the minister when they worship their ancestors."

The emperor said: "Then I will listen to why they can't spare you! If it makes sense, I will let you go. If it doesn't make sense, I will not let the virtuous concubine save her relatives."

"what"

Jia Lian looked at the prince with a bitter face and said, "His Royal Highness"

The prince glared at him and quickly lowered his head. "Speak!"

The emperor urged. Jia Lian said sternly: "Your Majesty, this dynasty ruled the world with filial piety. Today, the prince is benevolent and filial, with Xinyi boxing and boxing. , Like clouds in the sky, the rays of the sun are shining, and my heart is excited. Please congratulate the prince, the emperor, the court, and the people of the world!"

The corners of the emperor's mouth were slightly raised, and the prince looked at him blankly. "Why do I look at you, Jia Lian, no matter how righteous and awe-inspiring you are, you still have the taste of a minister."

Jia Lian cupped his hands and said: "Your Majesty, every sentence of a minister comes from the bottom of his heart, and he does not dare to make half a false statement. The prince's house is kind and kind, and it must be a blessing for the people. The ancients said that the old and the old are like the old people, and the young and the young are like the young people. .Today, the prince misses the Supreme Emperor. In the future, he will definitely have the disabled orphans in the world, so that the old can be cared for, the sick can be treated, the study can be taught, and the place to live. In this way, the world will not be far away, and the ministers and their descendants will not meet in a thousand years. In this prosperous world, how can you not feel inexplicable?"

The emperor smiled and said: "I saw you wrong, you are indeed a minister! I have said a lot, but I ask me to agree to let the prince go to the Taiji Palace. After all, what did the prince promise you?"

Jia Lian puffed out his chest, "I just told the truth. I just said it bluntly."

The emperor laughed and scolded: "How did I hear that the prince promised you ten 10 beauties"

Jia Lian didn't change his face, "How could this minister be someone who would bow down for ten beauties?"

In my heart, I was thinking that the emperor's eyes and ears were everywhere in the palace. The emperor nodded, "You have quite a few in your own home, so you are overwhelmed. I also heard that you extorted twelve actors from King Zhongshun back home, They're still babies,"

Jia Lian's face flushed, "Your Majesty, this minister is a scholar with noble aspirations, how can he accept a woman who has not seen a woman in a hundred and eighty years, he is really a very upright and honest person. ."

"Hahaha!"

The emperor laughed when he heard it, "I actually want to believe it. Some of your poems are still very good, and they may be passed down in the future."

Jia Lian's face is ashamed, it's rare. It's hard to write indiscriminately."

The emperor laughed, and then said: "Jia Lian, with your intelligence, it is not difficult to guess that I will not allow the prince to go to the Taiji Palace. Give me a reason!"

Jia Lian bowed and said: "Your Majesty, there is no other, a dutiful son. I ask the emperor to allow His Royal Highness to visit the Emperor Taishang on behalf of the emperor. Or, let His Royal Highness kowtow two heads outside the Taiji Palace. In this way, all history will praise the emperor and the prince. Kind and filial."

The emperor was silent for a while, "When I was young, the Supreme Emperor was very strict, and once I made a mistake, I would be punished. At this time, the elder brother of the Crown Prince always interceded for our brothers. When I grew up, the Supreme Emperor only paid attention to the Crown Prince. I wonder if he forgot about our brothers in that year, when the prince was demoted, and the Emperor Taishang finally took his anger on me. I am too lazy to explain. Now that the Emperor Taishang can no longer afford it, you can accompany the crown prince to do my filial piety for me!"

Only then did Jia Lian and the Crown Prince come out of Daming Palace. The Crown Prince chased Jia Lian and asked, "How do you know that Lone One or Two did those things when they were old?"

Jia Lian smiled and said, "That's what the minister did when he was young, and it is estimated that His Royal Highness is similar."

The prince pointed at Jia Lian, "Okay, how dare you deceive you!"

Jia Lian was displeased, "His Royal Highness, the Emperor nodded his head just now. Obviously, His Highness must have done it when he was young. How did the minister deceive the king?"

The two came to the Taiji Palace while talking. The Taiji Palace is a continuous palace, but now it is shrouded in a cloud. Otherwise, there will be no pardon. There is a cool breeze blowing in the corridor, which makes people feel gloomy. Pushing the door and entering, the hall is dark and deserted. The eunuch and palace maid in the hall panicked when they saw someone coming in. The prince proudly said: "I serve the royal father alone It is the will of the emperor to visit the Emperor Taishang, and lead the way!"

Jia Lian heard that his tone was different from before, and didn't say anything. He followed it all the way to the inside, only to find that the Emperor Taishang and a few palace maids were playing the game of eagles and chickens! Is this what it should be like if he is seriously ill? Jia Lian, hurry up and close Looking at it, I really want to turn my head and leave. The more I know and the more I think about it, the more I feel that I am very dangerous. What is this? Is it the prince who framed me or not? Jia Lian had to lower his head, try not to attract attention, and slipped back quietly. "Who is at the door?"

The Emperor Taishang shouted angrily. Jia Lian hurriedly saluted, "The minister Jia Lian has been ordered by the Emperor to accompany the Prince to visit the Emperor Taishang."

"come on!"

The Emperor Taishang was sitting on the couch, surrounded by seven or eight maids. Jia Lian sighed, but the prince had disappeared before. Jia Lian was shocked, and immediately put his hand on his waist and anxiously searched for the whereabouts of the prince. Shi Taishang Huang smiled and said: "Don't worry, the prince is in the inner room. If you don't believe me, go and see."

Jia Lian didn't care about etiquette, and rushed over to open the door. I saw that the prince was doing something he liked to a palace maid who was four or five years older than him. "Uh! Sorry!"

Jia Lian had no choice but to close the door. What is this? Jia Lian thought it was absurd. The Emperor Taishang smiled and walked over, "I didn't expect it to be you."

Jia Lian cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, why do you think this is a trap?"

The Emperor Taishang listened to the babbling voice inside, and said with a smile: "This kid is not bad. Youdao is reluctant to give up the palace maid, and can't catch the prince! Do you think the prince is really coming to see my family?"

When he said these words, his face was full of vicissitudes. Jia Lian sighed: "Your Majesty, you put your ministers in and tell them how to get out of the minister's family. There are wives, concubines and children, and if something happens, what should they do?"

Chapter [*] Okay, everything you said smiled at the Emperor Taishang: "I just want to find someone to talk to. Believe it or not"

Jia Lian said with a righteous face: "Emperor Taishang, if you want the minister to do anything to commit crimes, the minister will never obey. Please also ask the Emperor Taishang to dispel this unrealistic fantasy."

The Emperor Taishang looked at him up and down, "Oh, I haven't seen you for a long time, how did it become: so righteous and righteous"

Jia Lian held his head high, "I have always been like this!"

The Emperor Taishang held his hands behind his back, and approached Jia Lian with a smile. Jia Lian was motionless, pretending to be unbearable. The Emperor Taishang shook his head, suddenly stretched out his hand to grab Jia Lian's collar, Jia Lian hurried back two steps, The Emperor Taishang pressed forward, his hands like eagle claws, and alternately stepped forward. Jia Lian did not expect that the Emperor Taishang would come to this move, and he could only dodge left and right to dodge the attack at first. Knocked and touched, it was broken, and the injury died, then it would be a big trouble. No one would be able to save him. So he shouted loudly: "The emperor is too high, the minister is innocent, why do you arrest the minister?"

The Emperor Taishang moved vigorously, but Jia Lian was even more slippery. He didn't even touch a corner of his clothes.

Jia Lian asked inexplicably, "Your Majesty, your body and bones are okay"

The Emperor Taishang took the tea cup from the hand of the maid next to him and took two sips, "My body is very good! Why, do you think that I will die sooner?"

"How dare"

Jia Lian hurriedly denied, "Long live you!"

"shit!"

The Emperor Taishang disdainfully said: "If I live long, your emperor will not have a headache, boy, tell me, has your emperor gotten better recently?"

Jia Lian immediately replied: "The emperor has always been in good health. When the emperor is sick, you should stop teasing ministers!"

The Emperor Taishang stared at him for a while, and Jia Lian looked at him with clear eyes. "Tell me honestly, is the emperor dying?"

He whispered. Jia Lian's eyes flickered, and he smiled: "Nothing, where did the Emperor Taishang hear the rumors?"

But the Emperor Taishang sighed: "Sure enough, the Emperor's health is not good at all, and since the Iron Net Mountain, it has been getting worse. I thought he could last a few years, but now it seems that he can't wait for the Prince to grow up."

The boldness of the words just now disappeared. From Jia Lian's point of view, it seems that his body suddenly hunched up. "The Emperor Taishang"

He put one hand on Jia Lian's shoulder, took him as a crutch, walked to the couch and sat down: "Jia Lian, you asked me what I wanted and I can tell you, I just want to tell the emperor this way, even if he is there There are so many people outside, but it's actually useless! Thirteen years, I have been busy all day, thinking that I am diligent in administration, but I have not grasped the key point. Not to mention the other, the battle of Iron Net Mountain, the Imperial Army Beijing Camp is just one Sieve, it's a shame! Up to now, I haven't cleaned up the inside of the palace, it's really faint!"

Jia Lian was intent on defending the emperor a few words, but he was afraid that the more he said, the more wrong he would make, and he pretended not to hear it. I haven't done one thing right. In the end, I concluded, "His future can be predicted, and there is nothing more suitable than Shenzong!"

Jia Lian couldn't pretend that he didn't hear him anymore, he just cupped his hands, turned around and called the prince loudly outside the door, "His Royal Highness, it's time to visit, it's time for us to go back."

The Emperor Taishang glared at him, "Come here, I will explain something to you!"

Jia Lian also didn't go over, "Please ask the Emperor Taishang to instruct."

The Emperor Taishang said: "The prince is young, and it is a fun age. My wife is pure and virtuous, and she is knowledgeable and reasonable. If she can always accompany the prince around, she will be able to guide the right path, and the disaster of the former Ming Zhengde will not return to this dynasty. You must try to keep your mistress, and promise me that she will be your queen."

Jia Lian looked around, pointing to himself, "Your Majesty, what you said is how many pounds or taels of ministers and ministers, and you dare not listen to such important matters."

The Emperor Taishang smiled and said, "I know the emperor's mind very well. I have to say that you are his best candidate. It is estimated that there will be another big happy event for your family soon."

Jia Lian asked: "You even know about my sister saving relatives"

The Emperor Taishang snorted coldly: "I'm not dead yet! Did you hear what I said just now?"

His face was stern and majestic, and Jia Liancai bowed and said: "I dare not agree, but I will do my best to repay the emperor's kindness, and I don't dare to be slack."

"In that case,"

The Emperor Taishang smiled and said, "I feel at ease when I leave."

Jia Lian thought about what might happen in the future, but couldn't say it. At this time, the crown prince led the... Yaoniang out, "I have a chance to see you again."

Jia Lian couldn't help despising it. He really forgot everything when he mentioned it, and didn't even say a word about taking her away. The prince smiled at the emperor again: "Grandpa, the grandson is gone."

After speaking, he knelt down and kowtowed. Jia Lian had to kneel on both knees. The emperor said: "Remember your words!"

It seems to be instructing the prince, but it is actually a warning to Jia Lian. Jia Lian came out of the palace gate, turned around and glanced in again. The appearance of the Emperor Taishang blended into the darkness around him until he disappeared. The prince left the Taiji Palace and returned directly. The East Palace is not polite at all. Jia Lian slandered and walked into the warm pavilion of Daming Palace again. He reported everything just now in detail, but gently ignored those awkward and inconvenient places. They fought between father and son. Chiyu, don't let it be affected. Jia Lian has been secretly admonishing himself that now the emperor is like a candle that flickers, and it will go out at some point. When the emperor hears that he wants to set up a palace maid for the future The queen laughed, "You don't have to worry about this."

Jia Lian looked at his face quietly, frowned and knocked on the imperial case. It is estimated that the fate of the palace maid named Yaoniang is not very good. To be able to come out of Daming Palace whole, Jia Lian said that none of their grandparents and grandchildren are easy to deal with. Now, he feels the importance of power more and more, and it seems that he is getting closer and closer to the center of power. As long as the dark clouds over the Daming Palace dissipate, it will definitely be a beautiful new day. The next day is New Year's Eve. The mansion was filled with festive lanterns and colorful lanterns. The old lady was surrounded by her ex-grandchildren. The house was full of laughter and fireworks filled the sky. It was like daylight. On the first day of the new year, Jia Lian, Jia Rong, the old lady and other two mansions were ordered to enter the palace to greet each other. The banquets and dramas are endless. Soon it will be the Shangyuan Festival on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month. Two great events will be staged in the Rong Mansion soon.

Chapter [*] Wei Guogong's order was that the emperor trembled from the figure and could hardly stand up. He asked sharply: "What happened and how did the emperor die?"

Dai Quan cried and kowtowed: "Your Majesty, the servants heard from the people in the Taiji Palace that the Emperor Taishang was not feeling well this morning, and he didn't eat anything. It's just because the Emperor Taishang was ill for a long time, and the people who were waiting in front of him couldn't persuade him. Just wait for the servants to visit just now. When the Supreme Emperor, the Supreme Emperor had already died in his sleep!"

"what"

The emperor murmured, "Is that so?"

Yuan Chun immediately supported him, "Your Majesty, you have to take care!"

The emperor pushed her away, "Is the Emperor Taishang really gone?"

Dai Quan slapped his head with a thud, and his forehead was covered in blood. "Your Majesty, the head of the Taishang Hospital said that the Taishang Emperor's heart was exhausted and there was no cure."

"Place the Tai Chi Palace!"

The emperor forced himself to go out. Dai Quan got up and supported him. Yuan Chun followed quickly. The emperor could no longer walk to the Tai Chi Palace, so he and the prince got on the jade carriage. Followed. At this time, the Taiji Palace was dead silent. The maids and eunuchs who usually served the Emperor Taishang knelt on the ground. They were all very scared, but they couldn't bear to make a sound. The whole hall only heard the footsteps of the emperor and his voice. He coughed loudly. When the emperor came to the spirit of the Supreme Emperor, the Emperor Taishang had a vivid face. The emperor asked Yuanchun to take the prince away, while he sat beside the bed and said softly: "Father, don't blame the son. The son. It is also a last resort.”

A smile suddenly appeared on his pale face, "Father, only now can you calm down and listen to what I have to say. You, a hero, have been brooding over what happened thirteen years ago. Do you know, Father, that It's really not the son's work, the son's just taking advantage of the situation and the fisherman's profit. So, if you want to put the crime on the son's head, the son has nothing to say. Well, father, you can rest assured Let's go! If you blame Erchen, wait two more days, and Erchen will go down to accompany you."

After that, he stood up, looked at the palace maids and eunuchs all over the floor, and said coldly: "Dai Quan, send them on the road, there must be no one in front of the Supreme Emperor!"

There were no tears in Dai Quan's eyes, he bowed and said, "Don't worry, Your Majesty, the servants will do it now!"

He took a few steps back, choked and said, "Master, let Dai Quan leave now!"

This sentence moved the emperor, he stretched out his hand, Dai Quan hurried forward and grabbed it, weeping: "Master, take care of yourself, the servants can no longer serve the master in the future."

The emperor's originally resolute face could not help but feel pity, "You, you have been with me for decades, and it is not bad for a few days. I will leave a place for you on the edge of the mausoleum, and it will not be in vain for our whole life. I have some problems with loving money in my head, but I use it smoothly, and I will serve me in the next life!"

Dai Quan couldn't help crying, "Your Majesty, the servants would rather be the Emperor forever."

As he said that, he wiped his tears, "Please take a break, master, and the servant will go to work now! Resign!"

I saw him take a few steps back and shouted at the Jinyi Army at the door, "come here!"

A team of 1 Jinyi Army and bright helmets rushed in. Dai Quan pointed to the palace maids and eunuchs on the ground, "Send them on the road!"

The brocade-clothed army like wolves rushed up to drag them, and they didn't even dare to resist. But there was a little palace maid who screamed to break free from the brocade-clothed army, and ran in the direction of Dai Quan in a panic. Dai Quan flashed a stern look, and with a whisk, he drew a sharp knife from the sleeve of his robe and stabbed it into the palace maid's confidant. The red blood splashed on his face.

The Jin Yijun next to him was so frightened that he kowtowed. Dai Quan still said softly, "Don't drag it on."

Wiping the blood on her sleeve, she put the knife away again. Yuan Chun looked at all this in horror. She couldn't even say a word to save the poor maids, so she could only hold the prince tightly in her arms. , let him not see this bloody scene. The emperor did not seem to see this, and was still immersed in sadness. Soon there were only a few of them in the palace. When I walked up to the emperor, I couldn't tell whether it was hatred or pity. When I came, I was full of anger. I couldn't say it when I saw the emperor's haggard and old appearance. step."

The emperor wanted to help him, but he couldn't even stand up. So Yuanchun and the prince supported him. The queen mother came to the Supreme Emperor Ling and said, "Your father, the emperor, had expected such a day, he told the Ai family, The reason why you are not a competent emperor is because you still miss him, you are concerned about his face, you are afraid of your head and tail, and sooner or later you will cause a catastrophe! It's a pity that you never realized it."

When the emperor heard this, tears fell like rain, and he shouted, "Father!"

The pain in my heart was so severe that I couldn't speak. Yuanchun couldn't help it, and he was about to fall, and the little eunuch next to him immediately used his back: to hold it, so that the emperor did not fall. There was already an eunuch waiting by the side. He helped the emperor to the jade carriage and returned to the Daming Palace for diagnosis and treatment. Then the palace began to mourning, and soon the world was covered in pure white, and the inside and outside of the Shenjing were white! Inside the Rongguo Mansion, Jia Lian was stunned for a while, "How could it be the Taishanghuang a few days ago? I also went to see him, and he is in good health, how come he has returned to heaven all of a sudden"

Sister Feng hurriedly prepared the mourning clothes for Jia Lian, and said, "Ke Qing didn't say that the emperor was in bad health before, why did he go to the emperor too?"

Jia Lian grabbed Sister Feng, "You also think that the emperor should die first."

Sister Feng panicked and hurriedly covered Jia Lian's mouth, "My lord, how can I say this because it's my own family, if anyone listens to it, our family will be finished! I can't say it anymore!"
