The Red Chamber: Lianyufengchai

Jia Rong knew Jia Lian's power well, and blamed him for being fascinated for a while, but he was in a dilemma for a while, and he hesitated at the critical moment. "Wait a minute!"

How good is this? Jia Rong sighed, unable to make a decision. She even sent people to the Daming Palace to scout, "Report as soon as there is news!"

But Jia Guo and Jia Shou couldn't wait, and shouted loudly, "Open the door quickly, or we will blow up the palace gate!"

Jia Rong's face was pale. He had never made such a difficult decision in his life. He was both greedy for the emperor's promise, but also afraid that Jia Guo and the others would really blow up the palace gate, and he would die first. He shouted in fear: " you wait"

Just after he finished speaking, a person flashed behind him and stabbed Jia Rong's body with a knife, "The emperor already knew that you were unreliable!"

Immediately, he pulled out his knife, chopped off Jia Rong's head neatly, and threw it out. "The emperor has an order, and no one with the surname Jia can be spared!"

Chapter [*] Life is still impermanent

We often say that life is impermanent, and joys and sorrows intersect. Just now, the little emperor and others who were so smug about wanting to cut off Jia Lian’s roots have long since retreated in a corner of the hall. As Jia Lian moved forward slowly, Niu Jizong took a few steps. He stepped back to the warm pavilion. That was where the previous emperor reviewed the papers. Niu Jizong wanted to close the door, but was kicked open by several soldiers. The little emperor was frightened and stumbled to the throne, "Jia Lian, Duke Rong , don't come here! Don't come here!"

Jia Lian walked in with his hands behind his back, and the armored soldiers behind him filed in, and surrounded the people so tightly that it was impossible to escape. Yang Jihe brought a pier covered with bright yellow satin for Jia Lian to sit on. Jia Lian sighed: "This thing doesn't have the emperor's reward. If you sit around, you will be killed!"

Then he sat up with a smile. Yang Jihe smiled and said, "Dongweng, you can treat your lunch as a gift from the emperor."

Jia Lian pointed at him: "You made me sit on the fire and bake!"

At this time, Beijing Wang Shuirong shouted: "Jia Lian, you still dare to kill the king."

The little emperor was behind them, still: shouting, "Don't kill me!"

Holding the hated eunuch who was shaking like a chaff, Jia Lian smiled and said, "Lord Beijing, this is yours. Now that the conspiracy is revealed, the dog jumps over the wall in a hurry, and even dares to hold the emperor hostage and resist it!

King Beijing shouted angrily, "You spit out blood! I never did that kind of thing!"

"Don't get angry!"

Jia Liandao: "It doesn't matter if you talk about it now, I said it was your poison, and it was your poison. Besides, the emperor will recognize me, right?"

The little emperor is not stupid. This is Jia Lian's handling of the funeral. Listening to this, it means to put all the responsibilities on Shui Rong's head! He hesitated for a while and looked at Niu Jizong and Yun Guang. If he couldn't turn his head, he turned his face and didn't recognize the person. It was Niu Jizong who said solemnly: "Your Majesty, this is according to what Duke Rong said!"

When the little emperor had stepped up, he couldn't wait to say: "Shui Rong, you dare to murder me! If Duke Rong escorted me in time, I would have been killed by you! I am!"

He gritted his teeth and shouted: "Rong Guogong, quickly take down this traitor! Let it be at your disposal!"

Jia Lian nodded slightly: "Follow the order!"

He waved his hand, and immediately two armored soldiers like wolves like tigers dragged the water out. The water is still there: resisting, a soldier cut off the water's legs with a knife, and he screamed in pain and fainted. He died. The little emperor was so frightened that his face was pale, and he didn't dare to let out the air. Yun Guang clenched the knife in his hand and stepped forward, "Jia Lian, tell me why the young army I personally selected became your subordinate. I'm dying to figure this out!"

Jia Lian smiled without saying a word. Yang Jihe bowed and smiled and said, "General Yun, I don't really have anything to think about. There are 500 people in the young army. You can't check each one of them personally. We can't bribe you and return the ones around you. People, let’s just say it by bribing those who go out to do business. From top to bottom, except for you, they are all our people. Also, these soldiers are not… ordinary people, they are all dead soldiers who have been raised by our Rongguo for many years! Explain this way , General Yun may rest his eyes."

Jia Lian added: "In order not to arouse your suspicion, I have specially reserved more than [*] people for you."

Yun Guang smiled miserably and said: "Jia Lian, tell me the truth, how will you treat the emperor, if you kill the emperor, the old man will not be able to forgive you if he turns into an evil spirit underground!"

Jia Lian said: "Why do you all think that I will kill the king, think about it for me, now that I have killed the king, even if the crime is blamed on water, but there is no wall to ventilate, it is not good for my reputation! Besides, My sister doesn't know about this!"

Yun Guang shouted: "Jia Lian, it's better to remember your words!"

He straightened his clothes, turned his head to kneel and kowtowed to the little emperor three times, and said with tears: "Your Majesty, this minister is short-sighted, and he is in trouble. In the future, you must be cautious, and you must take your ministers as a precept, and do not take care of your heart. When the emperor is in power, the ministers will be under Jiuquan, and I will be glad!"

The little emperor wanted to hold him back, "General Yun, where are you going?"

Yunguang stood up, holding a knife in his hand: "Desire to kill thieves, but powerless to return to heaven! It's hateful and hateful!"

He committed suicide and died. Blood spilled in the air and landed at Jia Lian's feet. Jia Lian stood up in awe and bowed his hands to him: "General Yun, Jia Lian admires you as a loyal minister. Then I obeyed your wish and asked the emperor to praise you for resisting the misfortune of water and conspiracy!"

The little emperor stared blankly at Jia Lian, not knowing what he meant by this move. Now it seems that Jia Lian didn't dare to kill him, which reassured him a little bit. But Niu Jizong beside him smiled miserably: "Yun The old man killed me!"

The little emperor couldn't help asking: "How did I hurt you?"

Niu Jizong said with a wry smile: "Your Majesty, Shui Rong is going to rebel, and no one will believe it if you rely on him alone. Only the minister and Yun Guang conspire with him to do it. Now that Yun Lao'er has kicked his legs, then only the minister and the minister are left. The water is conspiring against you!"

After speaking, he said to Jia Lian: "Brother Lian, Duke Rong, in the hall just now, I was the only one who interceded for you! For this, you can't kill them all!"

Jia Lian smiled and said: "Uncle Shi seems to be nostalgic. If you didn't take it all in, how could our emperor and Yunguang, how dare they dare to harm me? Besides, you clearly know that I don't like taking power, and more You won't usurp power, but you will eventually include everyone for your own power. As for the culprit, it's not Uncle Shi, but who is it?"

Niu Jizong said sullenly: "This is the end of the matter, and I don't dare to live with it, let alone other people. Please, for the sake of our [*]-year friendship, leave a bloodline for my Lao Niu family."

As he spoke, the old tears were flowing, his beard and hair were all white. Jia Lian couldn't bear it, "Uncle Shi, did you think about them when you had this heart?"

Niu Jizong said with tears: "I just want to get rid of you, I never wanted to kill your family."

After speaking, he knelt down in front of Jia Lian. Jia Lian hurriedly stepped aside, "Uncle Shi, you"

Yang Jihe said: "Dongweng, if you lost just now, would he really leave the young master alive? He is the most insidious and shameless."

Jia Lian spread out his hands, "It turns out that at this time, I'm still not ruthless enough! Seeing that no Lao Tzu is a devil who does all kinds of evil, are you all forcing it! Uncle Shi, you go down below, be sure to help me and Emperor Gaozong Xiaowen Explain clearly to Emperor Shenzong Xiaoxian that these are all your faults and none of my business!"

Niu Jizong raised his head and gritted his teeth: "Jia Lian, you should go down and talk to them yourself!"

He grabbed Jia Lian's sleeve with one hand, and the other hand suddenly pulled out the dagger in his arms, about to stab into Jia Lian's chest. Jia Lian couldn't break free, seeing the cold light of the dagger approaching, he couldn't escape. Jia Lian's life is hanging by a thread at this moment. "How courageous!"

Yang Jihe, who had been paying attention to the side, kicked him away with a kick. The armored soldiers in the warm pavilion rushed to catch up, and the swords slashed in a hurry. It was really appalling. Jia Lian touched his nose and said to Yang Jihe. : "Actually, I'm wearing soft armor inside."

Yang Jihe said with a smile: "This subordinate knows. The subordinate just wants to take credit and change his title or something!"

Jia Lian laughed and said, "This is too easy!"

Chapter [*] You can't be okay

When the fighting in Daming Palace had ended, the battle on the gate of Daming Palace had only begun. Jia Rong didn't realize that he was an insignificant pawn on either side, but he thought he was very important. He didn't understand correctly. He was so confused that he lost his life. So, Jia Shou fiddled with the tip of his spear, poked at Jia Rong's head on the ground, and said with a blank expression: "Master Xiao Rong, you deserved to die!"

An unfamiliar face popped out from the door and said coldly, "The brothers of Hu Ben Yu Lin Jun are listening, now Jia Lian has the same head as Jia Rong! The emperor has a purpose, no matter who abandons the dark and turns to the light, whoever beheads is meritorious. , those who are obsessed and incomprehensible are more important. Don't make mistakes!"

But he shouted three times in a row, and the soldiers below still followed Jia Guo and Jia Shou, and there was no commotion at all. Jia Guo turned to look at them, and smiled upstairs: "I advise you not to waste your time! If you still want to live, , Open the palace gate as soon as possible and let us in, otherwise, Uncle Xiao Rong's fate will be yours!"

The military general on the gatehouse sneered: "As long as I still have my life, you can't even think about it!"

Jia Shou shouted loudly: "Brother upstairs, if you don't do it now, when will you wait?"

As soon as he finished speaking, two shadowy figures jumped from the roof, unable to see their faces clearly, only two steel knives emitting a cold light slashed across the body of the general and the necks of the soldiers beside him. In an instant, four or five people fell down from the gate. When they stopped, they took off their face towel. It turned out to be the Ji brothers. Ji Wuchang smiled and said, "Everyone, should we continue to fight now, or should we go down? open the door"

The trembling guards next to him did not dare to let out the air, and watched Ji Wujiu crouch down and stomped his head one by one, and then piled up into a pile. Fortunately, a smarter Baihu hurriedly threw the knife in his hand. , smiled and said: "Sir, we were going to open the door originally, it was just the two traitors Jia, please wait a moment, the young ones will open the door!"

Then he turned around and shouted: "Open the door quickly, and welcome the army of peace and chaos into the palace!"

The soldiers at the bottom got the order and hurriedly opened the palace gate. Ji Wuchang smiled and patted the shoulder of the hundred households, "Brother, just based on what you said just now, maybe a thousand households can be promoted to work today! I love you!"

The hundred households immediately became excited and flattered, he bowed and said: "Sir, this is all small: it should be. If the adults can say a few words in front of the prince, the small: will be satisfied! Thousands are not thousands of households. , Xiao: I haven't thought about it yet."

Ji Wuchang said coldly: "A reward for meritorious service, if you don't want a thousand households, don't you want a lieutenant?"

When he spoke, he held the knife sideways, with blood dripping from the knife. The hundred households hurriedly shut up, not daring to say more. The palace door opened, and this matter was more than half successful. Jia Guo and Jia Shou did not dare to delay for a moment. He led the army to the Daming Palace. The Ji brothers stood on the gatehouse, watching the army rush in like a flood, and said, "We have also witnessed history. Do you think Mr. Jia will go there... take a seat?"

"I don't know, but we've got something to do!"

Just when the hundred households were stunned, the Ji brothers suddenly disappeared. At the same time, the soldiers of the imperial guards on the gatehouse felt a chill in the back of their heads. Jia Guo and Jia Shou pushed open the palace gate and entered the hall, and a strong smell of blood rushed over. Immediately, when the soldiers guarding inside saw them breaking in, they all stood up with their swords in their hands. Jia Guo quickly restrained him and shouted, "Rong Gong Wansheng!"

This is a pre-booked slogan. The soldiers in the hall also replied: "Rong Gong Wansheng!"

Both sides are their own people, no doubt announced this sudden coup d'etat, and ended with Jia Lian's victory again, the last hope that the little emperor could put in may have disappeared. Jia Guo Jia Shou did not dare to disturb the people in the warm pavilion. Jia Lian, after making some arrangements, he withdrew and guarded all parts of the Daming Palace. At the same time, he announced that the forbidden army in the palace should not move without authorization. However, such a large-scale change in the palace has already alerted the cabinets who are on duty at the Cabinet Office. Lao. Zhang Maoqing, a senior scholar at Wenyuan Pavilion and Minister of Personnel, heard the sound of fighting inside the palace wall, and hurriedly sent people out to investigate. But whether it was Daming Palace or Kunning Palace, all palace gates were closed, and the cabinet could not know. The details inside. Xiao Yan, a scholar of Tiren Pavilion and a minister of the Ministry of Industry, Jia Shouzhong, a scholar of Wenhuadian University and a minister of the Ministry of Rites, and Gao Jin, a scholar of Dongge University and the minister of punishment, looked at each other, like sitting on a needle felt. Gradually, there was news coming. , It is said that the emperor suddenly summoned Jia Lian, Duke Rongguo, to enter the palace, and then closed the palace gate. Only then did the elders realize that Niu Jizong, a scholar of Wuyingdian University, was missing from the cabinet! "This is going to happen!"

Jia Shouzhong was very worried. Outsiders might not know that the little emperor was afraid of Jia Lian. , On the other hand, because of his daughter's relationship, he was a little worried in his heart that his daughter would be implicated. So he walked back and forth at the door, looking at it from time to time. There is no one in the same mood as Gao Jin, who has recently entered the cabinet. He is Jia Lian The one who was brought into the cabinet. Once Jia Lian loses power, he will be liquidated [*]% of the time. Zhang Maoqing pretended to be calm and drank the tea, unaware that the tea in the cup had already been drunk, whether it was the emperor or Duke Rong, this one In the matter, they did not reveal a single star to the cabinet. Right now, they can only wait for the coup d'etat inside the palace wall to end. Mistress Yao was also very surprised, and was about to send someone to check, when Niu Da was wearing armor at the door and bowed, "Please don't worry about the empress dowager and the empress, there is a future leader, and a little night is nothing to worry about."

Yuan Chun hurriedly asked, "What's going on?"

Niu laughed and said: "Back to the empress dowager, the last will be ordered to guard, and I don't know about the rest. I'll wait for your grandfather to come, you can ask your grandfather."

The queen hurriedly asked, "Where is Duke Rong now?"

Niu Da cupped his hands and said, "Go back to your mother, your grandfather is in Daming Palace."

"what"

The queen's face suddenly turned pale: the sound of killing came from the Daming Palace, and she was about to leave with the corners of her skirt. With Brother Lian, the emperor will be fine."

But the Empress is worried about this. It is not a matter of course for the emperor to have three strengths and two weaknesses at this time, and help his son to ascend to the throne. What's more, he reminded himself early in the morning that it is not because you can't do anything today. Ah.

Chapter [*] I promise you all

Inside the warm pavilion of Daming Palace. Jia Lianlian dealt with the little emperor's accomplices, Yunguang and Niu Jizong, with thunder, leaving only the little emperor shivering. Seeing Jia Lian staring at him without speaking for a long time, the little emperor panicked: "Rong Guogong, you can't break your promise that General Yun will not kill the monarch."

Jia Lian smiled and said, "Don't worry, Your Majesty, I won't do something like that, it won't do me any good. I want to tell you about the ins and outs of this matter today, whether the Emperor, the Empress Dowager and the ministers Explain, and severely punish those who rebel against the Party!"

The little emperor nodded quickly, "Please tell me, Duke Rong, I must keep it in mind and never say a single word."

Jia Lian coughed lightly, "The reason is that King Beijing Shuirong, ever since Tiewangshan's achievements fell short, he has held grudges. : , provoked trouble. He first persuaded Niu Jizong to organize a young army for the emperor, so that his private person could enter the palace in a grand manner, and even become the emperor's personal guard. Then he hooked up with the servants, falsely passed the imperial decree, and tricked me into entering Gong, I am trying to wipe out you and my monarchs and ministers in one go, so as to establish a new monarch, or even plan to usurp the throne! Fortunately, the ancestors and sects protected me, I found the clue, and immediately organized people to put down the conspiracy. When I was exposed, I took the risk and not only killed my nephew Jia Rong, but also forced the death of General Yun! What a shame!"

The little emperor is still there: trembling, "Maybe Jia Rong is not dead yet"

Jia Lian smiled and said: "It's okay, even if you don't die now, you will die soon, and it won't embarrass the emperor."

The little emperor nodded quickly: "Yes, yes! Duke Rong is right!"

Jia Lian continued: "At this critical juncture, I rushed to the rescue in time. After a bloody fight, I finally wiped out all the traitors! Your Majesty, do you think so?"

The little emperor did not dare to hesitate, "Rong Guogong is right, that's the way it is, the water is so deliberate, Niu Jizong's conspiracy is wrong, and the nine clans should be wiped out!"

"nature!"

Jia Lian persuaded: "You can issue an imperial decree like this, and then I will plead for the family of the criminal, and you will reluctantly agree, only the males will be executed, and the females will be sold."

The little emperor said: "I listen to you! I listen to you!"

Then Jia Lian looked at Eunuch Chou. Eunuch Chou heard Jia Lian say that he had hooked up with the servants and falsely passed on the imperial edict, and he was extremely frightened, so when Jia Lian came over, he became incontinent. He knelt on the floor and kowtowed heavily, "Minions deserve ten thousand deaths, and slaves deserve ten thousand deaths! Asking Rongguo to openly forgive slaves is a low life, slaves and slaves are the dogs in front of the prince."

Jia Lian smiled and said, "I already have a dog, and his name is Sun Shaozu. If you want to be my dog, just tell me, what's the use of you?"

The eunuch Chou thought he would die, but after hearing Jia Lian's words, he hurriedly crawled on the ground twice. "Stop! If you come again, be careful I'll cut you right now!"

Jia Lian covered his nose. Eunuch Chou kowtowed again, "Although the slaves are humble, they also have humble uses. The slaves can testify that it was Shuishun and Niu Jizong who conspired to commit troubles. This may be more convincing!"

After he finished speaking, he lay on the ground and didn't dare to look up. Jia Lian glanced at him in surprise, then turned to Yang Jihe and said with a smile: "Sir, what do you think?"

Yang Jihe said: "It is indeed useful, but, Eunuch Qiu, how do you prove that you are trustworthy? If you say one thing in person and one thing behind, it will be difficult! Not our comrades, we would never believe it."

The eunuch Chou was at a loss, Yang threw him a dagger, and Chou Tai jumped, "No, don't kill me!"

Yang Jihe smiled and said, "We won't kill you, but you have to prove that you are trustworthy! You are a smart person and know what I'm talking about!"

His smile is so sinister in Jia Lian's eyes, like a demon returning from hell, tempting people to fall into the abyss. Eunuch Chou picked up the dagger tremblingly, "I know, I know"

He turned around and walked towards the little emperor. The little emperor was shocked and shouted: "Rong Guogong, you promised not to kill me! You betrayed your promise!"
