The Red Mansion's Dress to Become the King of Beijing

The names of the four kings and eight princes are all listed, which is the chapter of Qin Keqing's funeral.

Who are the eight princes? Except for Ningrong and Rongfu, the other six Shui Rong have no impression, but because the four kings use the name of east, west, north and south, he memorized them all.

It should be known that Qin Keqing is just the daughter-in-law of a third-rank general who has no real job. At the funeral, the four kings actually set up road sacrifices. The clan's wife... Shui Rong is very confident now: Let alone the eighth prince, at least the four kings, including the deity, the reason for giving face like this is mostly because of Qin Keqing's background.

Qin Keqing's biological father is also a king with a different surname, and his biological mother is the daughter of King Yizhong.

King Yizhong is the abolished prince, the uncle of the current emperor.When he led troops to besiege the city and "rebel", Qin Keqing's father was King Yizhong's right-hand man.

However, King Yizhong was defeated and abolished, and there was no fear of his life. Then he, his wife, concubines and unmarried children were put under house arrest in Prince Yizhong's mansion.The sons of the former prince, especially those who stood out, died before the death of King Yizhong; It's okay to have to pour.

After all, it is the clan, and they live with their tails between their legs. The one sitting on the dragon chair cares about face, so he didn't kill them all.And for so many years, Yizhong Wang's lineage is indeed very honest and responsible, and has never caused any trouble.

The sons and grandchildren of King Yizhong can live well, and the situation of the daughters is even... better.

Although King Yizhong's daughters were implicated, they could live on.Especially the daughters of King Yizhong, except for Qin Keqing's mother, have never participated in their Lao Tzu's "Ambition and Hegemony". After King Yizhong was imprisoned, the queen at that time specially summoned these married women from time to time, with the support of noble people, The dowry was not taken back, so naturally they were not bullied by their in-laws.

It is said that Qin Keqing was still in her infancy, and her biological mother felt that something was wrong, so she resolutely handed over the only bit of flesh and blood and her rich body to her confidant, and asked her confidant to send it to Ningguo Mansion or Rongguo Mansion.

At that time, brothers Jia Daihua and Jia Daishan were in the limelight, and they had a deep friendship with King Yizhong and Qin Keqing's biological father, King Fu.

These two have never been involved in the matter of King Yizhong, so Qin Keqing's biological mother firmly believes that the two of them will always take care of her daughter's growth because of their old friendship and high rewards. As for her husband's concubine children, how can she care? get on?

In fact, as Qin Keqing's mother expected, Qin Keqing is indeed a bit tricky, but for Jia Daihua and Jia Daishan brothers, it is really only "a little bit troublesome".

Because of her sensitive background, it may not be a good thing if Qin Keqing is really raised as a rich lady.

Jia Daihua decided to let Qin Keqing's adoptive father adopt her, and at the same time assigned the little girl to Yuxue's lovely great-grandson Jia Rong.

Fast forward to more than ten years later, Qin Keqing passed away at a young age, and almost all the descendants of the four princes and eight princes were able to attend. Obviously, Qin Keqing's life experience is no secret.

When Jia Zhen made such a big show for his daughter-in-law, the emperor turned a blind eye when he knew it: everyone died, and there was no flesh and blood left behind, so why bother.

As for why Qin Keqing died, no one pays attention... Actually, it's not that no one knows, but no one will stand up for her.And with her death, the old affairs of King Yizhong can almost come to an end completely, and many people are relieved.

The reason why Qin Keqing's life experience is explained in detail is because after Shui Rong returned to the mansion, he convened another staff meeting.

Shui Rong leaned on his "throne", and said quietly, "Fu Wang," that is, Qin Keqing's father, "it doesn't look like a straw bag, no matter what happens, we have to leave a way out."

As soon as the words fell, some staff members said under his signal: "The Qin family has been in Ningguo Mansion for many years, and I haven't seen Ning Mansion."

The way out is either contacts, assets, or both.

If the Ningguo Mansion really obtained the family property left by King Fu through Qin Keqing, it should have taken off in a wave long ago!

Shui Rong then laughed and said, "It's all about the temperament of the Ning Manor, resigning from office and not focusing on cultivating immortals is something ordinary people like us can't fathom."

The prince is so openly mocking, of course there is a reason for it.The staff members have been in the mansion for a long and short time, so they may not know all the old things, so the chief staff member of Shui Rong took the initiative to explain: "The old prince has found a good place for the old man, who would think that he would not be sympathetic. "

The relationship between the Palace of Beijing and Ningrong has always been good. Before his death, Jia Daihua specially asked the old King of Beijing, who was young at the time, to take care of his children and grandchildren.

As for the Rongfu, after Jia Daishan's death, the old Beijing King also advised Jia Zheng not to rush to become an official. It is better to get a candidate than to rely on shade to become an official.

As a result...everyone knows.

Successively hitting a wall with Jia Jing and Jia Zheng, the Beijing Prince's House never thought of supporting the Ning and Rong Houses in their official career.

By the way, Jia Zheng probably regretted that he didn't listen to people's advice back then, so Baoyu and Daiyu came to the palace to study together. He was very supportive, even if Mrs. Wang didn't want Daiyu to go to the palace with Baoyu.

After the chief aide introduced the "old grievances" between his family and the Ningrong and Rongfu, Shui Rong summed it up, "The Ningrong and Rongfu have no successors."

He didn't bother to ask about the Jia family's business except Baoyu's. The staff must understand what he meant.

Wang Songhe, who was still in charge of taking minutes of the meeting, met the prince's gaze and nodded heavily: From now on, the prince will not read the posts and letters of Jia pardoned Jia Zheng and Jia Zhen and others.

Shui Rong withdrew his gaze, "Today, Duke Xining is also going to court."

The son of the old king of Xining now only has the title of duke, and the fief is gone, but he still holds ~soldier~power~—the reason why he came back so long after General Wu was because he had to rush from Jiayuguan to the capital.

If Shui Rong remembers correctly, it will take about [-] kilometers to drive from Jiayuguan to Beijing in later generations.And the Northwest Army, that is, Ningwu Pass where General Wu is stationed... Ningwu Pass is in Shanxi, and it is definitely not more than [-] kilometers away from the capital.

The chief aide said: "There have been few wars in Jiayuguan these years, it is very prosperous, and there are a lot of caravans. The Shanshan border is much more chaotic."

In fact, the four kings were quite scattered back then because their fiefdoms were quite scattered, and they hardly led troops in the same direction...that is to say, there was no conflict of interest, and naturally friendship was okay.

But how many years have passed, and the old friendship has changed greatly with the death of the old man and the changes in the situation. Don't look at the malevolence of Xining Gong, but Shui Rong can't judge whether he is an enemy or a friend: anyway, he is also from the royal family. How can there be no heart to seal the border and crack the soil?

It is said that the Shijia brothers and the Wangfu look normal, but as long as they see the secret letters sent by the two brothers regularly, they will understand that the Beijing Palace and the Shijia are true friends.Regardless of whether the owner of the Beijing Palace is the old Beijing King, the deity is still Shui Rong, the affection of the "pen pal" has not changed a bit.

And the historian and Lord Xining are also good, because when he was the commander-in-chief in Gansu, he had a good life under the hands of Lord Xining-Shi Ding mentioned it in his letter to the old king of Beijing and his deity.

As for Wang Ziteng, it was when he was the prefect of Ganzhou that he made a lot of political achievements and money, so that he could be proud of himself later.Ganzhou is Zhangye, and Zhangye is very close to Jiayuguan.

When the Duke of Xining beat his father, he guarded Jiayuguan. It is very unreasonable to say that the Xining Palace had no private transactions or friendship with Wang Ziteng.

At the same time, it was precisely because Wang Ziteng was not only a prefect but also a governor in Gansu, so the shops and caravans of the Jia family in several important towns on the Silk Road had to be swallowed up by Wang Ziteng in the end.

Before the meeting, the top-ranking staff already knew that the prince asked everyone to come and discuss how to treat Xining Gong. Your Majesty will give you an answer."

That is to say, whether Duke Xining chooses to side with Concubine Wu or the queen... It seems that he is much more embarrassed than you, the prince.

Shui Rong nodded, "It's all right for Concubine Wu Gui, the queen can't hold her breath any longer," he looked at his chief aide, "Push and tell the queen not to sit idle." Click on Mei Fei again, "Let the big companion help you."

Your niece wants to kill me, I cheated on your brother, this thing is up to now... Of course it is not over.

The two bowed together to accept the order.

The chief aide and Mei Fei have taken in some newcomers these days: In the midst of winter, there is an opportunity to make meritorious service, especially against the empress, not the Wu family, which is in full swing. The boys are probably smiling.

Handing over the matter to his capable subordinates, Shui Rong himself didn't intend to be idle: Xue Biao happened to come to visit him today, so he let this young man explain his doubts by the way.

Xue Biao came here to report to Shui Rong: the sea boat has been prepared, and the manpower has also been arranged with a reliable old man, just waiting for the prince's order.

Whether it is Xue Biao or Baochai, the power is not as good as before after his father died, but there are always a few loyal stewards and subordinates following him.

This time, Xue Biao sent the most loyal and appropriate old steward to be responsible for receiving, transporting and unloading the goods.

Shui Rong was satisfied with Xue Biao's arrangement, and signaled Wang Songhe to hand over Uncle Cheap and his handwritten handwriting to Xue Biao.

This is the token.

Xue Biao took it with both hands, and put it away respectfully... Halfway through receiving it, he realized: Why are there three envelopes?

He looked down again: three envelopes!One has the seal of the King of Beijing on it, the other...the one with the word "Hong" should belong to the uncle of the prince, and the third one...

Shui Rong said: "You will know the last envelope when you open it."

Xue Biao did as he did, and opened it to see: 6 taels of silver bills, [-] bills, six in total!He was afraid that he would make a mistake in counting and misreading, so he "tossed" over and over again for a full five times.

Shui Rong said slowly: "My uncle ordered [-] coal and ore from his friend. Don't worry, there is nothing taboo about it." He smiled, "The remaining [-] is your hard-earned money."

Since he intends to ask Brother Xue Biao to do express delivery for him for a long time, how can there be any reason not to pay the express fee, but also let others pay for the goods?

What Shui Rong took for granted, Xue Biao... looked a little excited, or it would be more appropriate to say moved.

The little icon flashed the barrage again, "He thinks you are too kind to him."

"He has written his thoughts on his face." Shui Rong sighed, "How long has he been bullied?"

Taking advantage of the young man's emotion, he hurriedly asked him all the serious things he wanted to ask, and Shui Rong said, "The Jia family's business in Gansu is all in the hands of Wang Ziteng?"

It's not water-soluble sensitive, just like he will find the right opportunity to lift the emperor off the dragon chair. Someone must want to eat him as a "big experience bag", and Wang Ziteng is probably one of them.

The reason is simple, Wang Ziteng can get more benefits by following the emperor than choosing him.

Xue Biao quickly raised his head when he heard the words, and said seriously, "That's exactly what the prince said. When Mr. Lin was still there, the Jia family might not be able to make decisions about their own business in Gansu, and they would always get the money." There is no need to explain the following words clearly, He could hear the real meaning of the prince, "If the prince wants to know about the rest of Jia's business...there are still some in Shanshan and Shanxi, most of the profits from shops and caravans are used to support people."

Shui Rong instantly became interested, "Oh?"

"A few times... it was my father who took care of it," Xue Biao collected himself, "No one in the Xue family knows."

Isn't the Jia family that stupid, Shui Rong thought to himself: At least they know how to keep something.

Xue Biao continued: "However, the general bought by the Jia family is the confidant of Marquis Zhongjing."

Zhongjinghou is Shi Ding, Xiangyun's third uncle.Shui Rong finally laughed again, "It's better than buying and buying, and becoming Wang Ziteng's confidant again, making wedding dresses for others for nothing."

As soon as this remark came out, Wang Songhe laughed.

Xue Biao nodded and said softly: "Just looking at his family background and his young talent, the first and second masters of the Rong Mansion felt that they would be successful if they were matched... I heard from my father that Jia's business in Shanshan can still continue. , thanks to Marquis Zhongjing."

It can be regarded as hidden, so it is not a fluke that only the historians of the Red Mansion survive in the end.

So that night, when Shui Rong wrote to Shi Ding, he expressed some respect to this old man.

Shi Ding came back only a few days earlier than Duke Xining, and he was in winter at home, so he immediately responded with a smile when he received the letter from Shui Rong.

Three days later, there was no news from Xining Gong, and Shui Rong opened Shi Ding's reply: Are you envious?share with you?

Therefore, most of the Jia family’s outer wealth belonged to Wang Ziteng, and a small part went into Shi Ding’s pocket. A pair of cousins ​​of the Xue family are still sparing no effort to leak the secrets of the Jia family...you say this is How much hatred?

Food is the original sin.

Coming out of the study, passing by the classroom, seeing Baoyu who was reading with his head down, Shui Rong said in his heart: You should have some snacks, otherwise I really can't take you.

The author has something to say: Anti-theft is on, 60%, 48 hours.

I have to adjust my schedule, it's always so late.Although I don't want to admit it, I'm the happiest when I write between three and four o'clock.
