The Red Mansions

Chapter 882 I will also help him find an official position in the future...

Xiande Hall

Huang Taiji sat on the golden chair, looking down at the officials below, his face was burning with pain at the moment.

Because just a month ago, in the same hall, Huang Taiji discussed the peace talks with His Royal Highness and his ministers. He was so strategized and high-spirited before, but now he was embarrassed and ashamed when the Han court abruptly withdrew the peace talks.

To put it bluntly, the operation was as fierce as a tiger, and it turned out that the clown was myself.

Seeing that Huang Taiji's face was gloomy like ice, the top Jurchens below, such as Prince Zheng Jierhalang, and Prince Li Daishan also felt a little dignified.

Hao Ge sneered, and said first: "Father, I said earlier that the peace talks were unbelievable, now it's all right, and Shuo Tuo is involved again."

Saying that, he glanced at Dorgon provocatively.

Dorgon's face was ugly, his fists hidden under his sleeves were tightly clenched, and his heart felt like a knife was being cut.

Azig's tiger's eyes were bloodshot, and his heart was also burning with raging anger.

Prince Li's son Sujun Wang Yuetuo said in a deep voice: "Now the Han court is determined to be an enemy of our Dajin. The mansion newspaper from the Beiping Mansion said that the Han and the captives are not at odds, so people don't believe in making peace. set."

Although the high-level Jurchen princes Baylor have a violent personality, they still pay close attention to the changes in the national policy.

Indecisive and irritable are not necessarily unable to achieve great things, because people themselves are animals with complex personalities, and their mentality will change with age and status.

At this time, Hauge sneered: "So the talk of peace talks is just wishful thinking."

Anger welled up on Huang Taiji's face, and he said coldly: "Enough!"

Hauge opened his mouth, and for a moment he felt a little resentful, and returned to the train.

Huang Taiji pondered and asked: "Mr. Fan, what should we do now?"

Fan Xiandou lowered his head tightly at this moment, his face was gloomy, and there was some cold sweat oozing from his back. The toughness of the Han court this time seems to be different from that of the previous Central Plains courts.

After thinking for a while, he cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, I think that since the Han court no longer talks about peace, I should actively prepare for war and not act rashly because of the enemy's situation. In addition, this peace negotiation is due to the big man Yongninghou. Send people to Handu to spread rumors, saying that the Marquis of Yongning wants to support the bandits, so he obstructs Zhige and Babing in every possible way. With the suspicion of the Han court officials, there is bound to be a battle. When the Han soldiers are defeated on the battlefield, then , the Hanting will automatically liquidate those who lead the battle."

In his eagerness, there are also some clever women who can't cook without rice. After all, the two countries must fight on the battlefield.

Huang Taiji was silent for a moment, and asked: "Shuotuo is still in Han, how should we rescue him?"

Fan Xiandou bit his head and said: "I think I can deliver the letter of credence to denounce the shamelessness of the Han court, and use words to provoke them to release the hostages. I am willing to hold a knife and write. In addition, we will exchange them after the Han generals are captured."

As for sending envoys again, they were also detained.

Huang Taiji pondered and said: "Then according to what Mr. Fan said, it's just how to deal with this Marquis of Yongning? He is already my confidant! After reading the book Three Kingdoms written by him, I can see that Wei Wu is deceitful. heart of."

Since this person was born, everything has been going wrong.

Fan Xiandou cupped his hands and said: "Your Majesty, this person was originally a member of the Ning Kingdom, a down-and-out son of the Han Dynasty who made great contributions to the founding of the Han Dynasty. , the so-called behavior is higher than the crowd, people must be against it! But the emperor of the Han Dynasty buried the fox, lenient on the outside but taboo on the inside, and when he found a good opportunity, he could resort to divisive tactics. "

Huang Taiji listened quietly, with thoughtful eyes, and said in a low voice: "What Mr. Fan said is true."

Divorce is the method used by Huang Taiji envoys to deal with Yuan Chonghuan.

And there is a saying that Huang Taiji in parallel time and space was inspired by Jiang Gan's stolen books in "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms".

Hauge was listening below, his face was covered with frost, but his heart was already sneering again and again.

After all, it's not about winning the battle, so why negotiate a peace in the first place?These Han people are used to avoiding the important and taking the light.

Huang Taiji said: "Is there any news from Erzhe? Or do you not want to regard me as Khan?"

Ten years ago, when Jurchen destroyed North Korea, the Jurchen tribes and Mongols respectfully called Huang Taiji Khan, and the Chahar Mongols at that time also presented a congratulatory form to Huang Taiji, but they never congratulated the Khan in the same way. Li went to Shengjing to meet Huang Taiji.

In the past, Jurchen couldn't make a move, or in consideration of stabilizing people's hearts, they didn't make a move, which means that the two Khans respect each other.

Dorgon suppressed the sadness in his heart, and said: "E Zhe said, as a child of the Golden Family, he has been the co-lord of the grassland for hundreds of years, and he dare not abandon the foundation of his ancestors."

Huang Taiji said in a cold voice: "I'm stubborn!"

Dorgon cupped his hands and said, "Emperor Brother, Ezhe's Naiman tribe already intends to surrender, but they just want to marry us and ask to marry Princess Gulun, Princess Shuzhe."

Princess Shuzhe is the seventh daughter of Huang Taiji, born of Bumbutai, and she is regarded as Huang Taiji's favorite youngest daughter.

Ezhe’s Chahar Mongolia has eight Otok and Naiman and other three largest tribes. Because it is located in the east and borders the Jurchen, they have long been willing to submit to the Jurchen, but the descendants of the rebellious Jin family are still somewhat hesitant.

Huang Taiji looked deeply, and said: "As requested, what about Hexiketeng and Aohan's troops?"

Dorgon said: "The two departments are still hesitant and unwilling to send troops to follow."

In fact, the two departments have always cooperated with Huang Taiji in the dispatch of troops against the Han court.

"When the court congratulates a year ago, I will ask the second part again." Huang Taiji said in a cold voice, and asked in a deep voice: "How are the two white flags preparing for the battle?"

This time the troops were dispatched, mainly with Dorgon, Duoduo and Azig's plain white and inlaid white flags as the vanguard, and the early preparations were also carried out by two people.

Of course, when the crusade against Chahar must be launched, it will be the last battle for Jurchen to form a complete body for future generations.

Azige came out of the shift and said: "Your Majesty, my brother has already sent someone to inquire about the news of Chahar."

Huang Taiji looked gloomy, and said: "Next year I plan to change the name of the country to Qing, and change the name of the Yuan to worship virtue. If Ezhe does not come to the pilgrimage, after the grand ceremony is held, we will attack Chahar. How can there be two khans on the grassland?"

All the princes and Baylor below said yes.

Huang Taiji looked at Dai Shan at this time, and said: "Prince Li stays here, and you should step down first."

Dai Shan, who was drooping his eyelids and seemed to be asleep, opened his eyes when he heard this, his heart trembled slightly.

As everyone left, Prince Li Daishan and Brother Huang Taiji were left in the huge Xiande Hall.

The two were silent for a while, Huang Taiji looked at the white-haired Daishan, and sighed: "Brother, I have not considered properly the matter of entrusting you."

Hearing this, Dai Shanwen quickly knelt down, cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, Shuo Tuo went on an envoy for the country, and even if he was met with misfortune, he died in the country, and he deserved it."

Huang Taiji looked at the gray-haired Daishan who was kneeling on the ground, got off the golden chair, supported Daishan with both hands, and said: "It's cold on the ground, brother, get up quickly, I have to ask for my opinion on something."

At this time, Huang Taiji's chief eunuch winked at the two eunuchs serving around him, and then slowly exited the palace.

Dai Shan said, "Your Majesty, please give me your instructions."

"I am already old, and in the early years I fought with my father in the north and south, and I also suffered from some diseases. Now that the crown prince has not been established, I see that among the princes, there is no one who suits my wishes." Huang Taiji said, holding a pair of secluded Unpredictable eyes looked at Dai Shan.

Dai Shan's complexion froze, he hesitated and said: "Your Majesty, all the sons are brave and brave, and they are all good sons of the Xinjueluo clan that I love."

Huang Taiji looked at Daishan with burning eyes, and asked, "What do you think of Dorgon, brother? He handles political affairs in the court very well, and his internal affairs and military affairs are all in order."

Hearing the words, Dai Shan quickly knelt down again and said: "Your Majesty, this proposal must never be allowed! The inheritance of the lineage and the inheritance of father and son are the laws of heaven and cannot be violated, otherwise the Aixinjueluo family will be in great trouble. The emperor thinks twice."

Does he know the method of the fourth brother, which is testing him.

Huang Taiji helped Daishan up again, and said softly: "That is the rule of the Han people, isn't our rule still brother-in-law?"

Dai Shan quickly said: "Your Majesty, the latter is the way to create chaos. This has been confirmed by the Han court."

Huang Taiji was silent for a while, as if moved by Dai Shan's words, he asked again: "Then brother, what do you think of the conduct and talents of my sons?"

"Sujun Wang Yingrui is brave, resolute and decisive, and has repeatedly made military exploits. The other princes are also wise and agile. They are all dragons and phoenixes, and they are the appearance of the sun. The emperor is in his prime, so you can take a closer look." Dai Shan weighed his words, Cang Sheng said .

Huang Taiji's eyes flickered, and he murmured, "King Sujun, Hauge?"

But he didn't say much after that, making Daishan confused about Huang Taiji's attitude for a while.

Huang Taiji's eyes flashed, and a thick haze filled his heart.

With Hauge's defiant personality, he was afraid that after succeeding to the throne, he would cause trouble with Azige, Dorgon and the others.

The Aixinjueluo family has shed too much blood for the sweat position, and if they continue to kill each other like this, they will be taken advantage of by the Han court.

Huang Taiji had ten sons, apart from the sons Luoge and Luobohui who died young, there were eight sons, Fulin is only about ten years old now.

Huang Taiji thought about it for a while, and said: "Then let's look at it again. After this battle, it's not too late to think about it."

"Your Majesty is wise." Dai Shan quickly said yes, secretly heaving a sigh of relief.

As expected, Lao Ba didn't have the idea of ​​sibling succession, but if he showed some attitude just now, he was afraid that another catastrophe would be imminent.

Lao Ba, in the words of the Han people, is the hero of the world, ruthless and merciless.

……

……

Shenjing, Rongguo Mansion, Rongqingtang
After Jia Heng and Shi Nai finished talking, they came to Rongqing hall. In the hall, besides Jia Mu, there were Mrs. Wang, Baoyu, Sister Feng and Li Wan who accompanied Jia Mu to talk.

Jia Mu looked at the two of them and asked, "Brother Heng, you two are having lunch together."

Shi Nai smiled and said, "Don't bother Auntie, Ziyu will go to Beijing to deal with military affairs later, Brother Xin and I will go home first, stay for two days, and visit Auntie when we have free time."

Jia Mu nodded and said, "Alright, then I won't see you off."

Shi Nai stopped Jia Heng who was about to see him off, smiled and said: "Zi Yu stay here, there is no need to see him off."

After Shi Nai and Shi Xin left, Mother Jia saw this, she turned her old eyes to Jia Heng, and asked, "Brother Heng is going to Beijing camp?"

Sister Feng also smiled and said, "Brother Heng, why don't you go back to Beijing and rest for two more days?"

"Recently, the national policy has been decided, and I have a lot of military affairs in hand. I have to go to the Beijing camp to stay for a while a year ago." Jia Heng said.

Jia Mu nodded and said with a smile, "Actually, I have something to tell Brother Heng, and ask what you mean."

Baoyu on the side had already raised his heart to his throat, and looked at the calm and calm young man.

Jia Heng put down the teacup, looked at Jia Mu with gentle eyes, and asked, "Please tell me, old lady."

Jia Mu laughed and said, "Isn't this Baoyu? Since he's going to school next year, he needs to study hard both years ago and in the beginning of spring. I want to find him a quiet place to study."

"The environment in the school is quiet, and there are good teachers and helpful friends to ask for advice. It looks good to me." Jia Heng put down the teacup and said, "Does the old lady think there are other places?"

Jia Mu's mind, he sees the fire clearly, and still wants Baoyu to be sent to the Grand View Garden.

"Didn't Brother Heng go to see the garden yesterday, and I heard from Feng girl that the garden is beautifully built and there are many courtyards inside. It's better to let Baoyu live in it, so that reading can be quieter." Jia Mu smiled and said.

At this time, Baoyu looked at the young man in the python suit, summoned up his courage and said, "Brother Heng, I will study hard after I go in."

Jia Heng was silent for a moment, looked at Baoyu, and asked, "Baoyu, what are you thinking about thinking we don't know?"

Are you doing that to study well?I'm sorry to point you out.

Baoyu: "..."

A round face with a full moon in the Mid-Autumn Festival turned red into an eggplant, his lips squirmed, and a light word made him stand naked in front of people with his clothes stripped off.

Sister Feng's expression on the side changed, and Danfeng saw something strange in her eyes.

Mother Jia's complexion changed, and her eyes were a little unnatural.

Mrs. Wang's fair face twitched, and she no longer held the Buddhist beads in her hand.

Jia Heng said: "Old lady, I told the master earlier that Baoyu should not be mixed in the pile of makeup and powder. If you live in the garden and quarrel with your sisters, how can you have the heart to study? Besides, Baoyu is too old. It's not when I was a child, and I need to avoid it."

Jiamu's face paused, she sighed, she hesitated to speak, "Brother Heng."

Jia Heng said: "Old lady, let Baoyu study hard in the school and strive to enter school in the next year. Even if he fails to win a Jinshi, he wins a Juren, so he can help him find an official position in the future. Juren will never leave gossip. How can I spend my time wasting in the garden?"

Many famous ministers who have left their names in history are not Jinshi, such as Hai Rui in the early Ming Dynasty, Zuo Zongtang in the late Qing Dynasty...even Tian Wenjing, who was born as a supervisor, is not uncommon in the history.

And Jia Heng's words blocked what Jia Mu had said, and his old eyes were full of surprise.

Help Baoyu find an official position...

If someone else said this, Jia's mother might still think that she was talking beautifully, but this was Jia Heng's promise, and Jia Zheng's previous promotion.

Jia Heng's reputation has been tested by practice, and Jia's mother can't help but weigh it.

Yuanyang stared at the young man and nodded secretly. Once these words came out, the old lady couldn't say anything.

After Jia Heng finished speaking, he didn't stop there, got up and said, "Old lady, I'm going back first."

Mother Jia felt a little depressed, and said, "Brother Heng, go and do your work."

Jia Heng cupped his hands towards Jia Mu, and walked away from Rongqing Hall.

In Rongqing Hall, Mother Jia was silent for a while, then sighed, looked at Madam Wang who was not very pretty, and said, "Mother Baoyu, Brother Heng's words are not unreasonable."

Mrs. Wang stared blankly, and nodded her head dully. At this moment, she didn't know what it was like, but a sentence lingered in her heart repeatedly.

In the future, I can help him find an official position...

Even if Mrs. Wang didn't like Jia Heng's "frivolity" in the past, she couldn't help but believe in Jia Heng's promise.

Jia Heng returned to Ningguo Mansion and ordered someone to take the official letter of confession from the Ministry of War before going to the Beijing Camp.

Beijing Camp, Chinese Army Barracks

Seeing the boy in the python suit, Jia Fang greeted the general, clasped her fists and said, "Jie Shuai."

Jia Heng nodded, looked at Jia Fang, and asked, "Where is Master Song?"

Jia Fang said, "I went to Xianwu Camp with General Xie."

Jia Heng nodded, and entered the barracks of the Chinese army under the guards of Jinyi Mansion, put the cowhide package in his hand on the handsome case beside him, and said: "This is a complaint from the Ministry of War, you will sue according to your name. Last name, send it to the generals."

He no longer held the promotion ceremony for the generals who went south with great fanfare, otherwise it would be easy to fall into the shoes of others.

When Jia Fang heard this, she clasped her fists and said yes.

"There's a portion for you too." Jia Heng sat down, picked up the teacup, and took a sip with a natural and friendly tone.

After the war in the south, Jia Fang has been promoted to guerrilla general. Of course, he admits that he has made some efforts, and he is the only one among the Jia clan who made him a little exception.

The merit is actually not bad, in the south, he did not shy away from the front arrow, he had the merit of beheading the general and capturing the flag, and he could stand the test, even if he was a little young, the problem was actually not that big.

When Jia Fang heard this, her heart shook violently, she cupped her fists and said, "Uncle Heng."

Jia Heng didn't go to see Jia Fang, but picked up the book on the side, and said in a low voice: "It's Chinese New Year, you should go back to spend more time with your mother. Alright, don’t forget to send your own soldiers to collect it.”

When Jia Fang heard this, she fixed her eyes on the young man, her nose felt sore, and her eyes gradually became hot, she nodded heavily, and said "hmm".

His father died early, and Uncle Heng devoted himself to nurturing him, almost like his biological father...

Jia Heng opened the blue book, waved his hands, and said, "Go ahead, I'll take a look at the official documents."

He doesn't plan to go home these days, but stays in the Beijing camp for a few days, writes out the unfinished training outline, and observes the generals' training.

After the peace talks, the war is uncertain when it will break out, and we must show some positive attitudes in front of the emperor and the officials.

In fact, after coming back, I rested for a total of two or three days. After all, people are not machines, and it is impossible to always be stretched by a string.

After returning to Beijing, there was nothing else except teasing the sweet-tempered and lovely sister-in-law whom she had known in Haojing for a long time.

Otherwise... keep throwing the handkerchief?

Jia Heng suppressed his chaotic thoughts, picked up a brush, and began to write the training outline, the paper was scraping, and at some point, the sky was dark, the winter was short, and it was getting dark very quickly.

In the Chinese military barracks, the oil lamps on the table lit up suddenly, and the orange candles filled the room. The charcoal fire in the copper basin was blazing, and went out again in the rising and setting of the sun, igniting a few wisps of blue-black tobacco, while the table The books in the corner of the case gradually became thicker.

It is clear that time is rushing, passing like water, and five days have passed before you know it.

First of all, it was dispatched by the military commander of the five cities, approved by Emperor Chongping, and Jia Heng completely resigned from his position as the military commander of the five cities.

The prince's Taibao and Minister of the Ministry of War, the Minister of Military Aircraft, the first-class Marquis of Wu, the commander-in-chief of brocade clothes, and the supervision of the military supervisor, the responsibilities are undoubtedly clearer and clearer.

Jia Heng did not return home within five days, and almost lived in the barracks of the Beijing camp. Convene a joint meeting of Jinyi Mansion and Jingying to prepare for the settlement of Chahar Mongolia.

And this scene of conscientiousness naturally fell into the eyes of those who cared about the court and won universal praise.

At least the minister of military aircraft really didn't stop trying to make progress just because he had made some achievements.

Then the two prefectures of Rongning and Ningxia celebrated for a while because of the conferment of the Marquis, and the completion of a manor of the Jia family. Under such a background, it would be a bit critical to make more comments.

And this morning, on the official road outside Shenjing City, the snow had already melted away, but the road was still a little muddy.

While dozens of horses and whips rode from far to near, the young man in brocade robe on the saddle reined in the reins, and the horses behind him slowed down.

Chu Wang Chen Qin looked at the majestic and high city wall, calmed down, his eyes stayed on the two seal characters of "Shenjing" for a moment, and said:

"Go, go into the city."

However, just approaching the city gate, he looked at the continuous stream of convoys pouring out of the city gate, and asked, "Which family is this? It's so mighty?"

Duan Dianjun approached and asked, and after a short while, he went back and forth and said, "My lord, it's the Yang family. Elder Yang Ge has returned home after he retired. The Yang family is leaving today."

Yang Guochang's resignation was approved by Emperor Chongping, after these few days of tidying up, the members of the Yang family have prepared chariots, horses and belongings, and returned to their hometown in Shandong.
