The first paparazzi in the Red Chamber

When Jia Amnesty arrived at the Prime Minister's Mansion, he entered through the main entrance and drove directly to the main hall of the Prime Minister's Mansion.Prime Minister Wu hurried over from the west to meet Jia Amnesty.

"Take the liberty to come here and disturb the prime minister." Jia She said politely.

Prime Minister Wu glared at Jia She, "There is no need for you to be so polite about the relationship between us."

"No matter how close the friendship is, it's not good to disturb your reception." Jia She said with a gentle smile.

Prime Minister Wu hurriedly shook his head, "Look, I just got home and changed my clothes, I don't have much time to meet guests, but you are here, it's really a visitor." Then Prime Minister Wu asked Jia She if he was here to ask about tomorrow's itinerary .

Jia Amnesty agreed.

Prime Minister Wu sighed and said: "Tomorrow, there may be some arrangements. You might as well take a car to the gate of my residence tomorrow morning, and we will go into the palace together first."

"This is?" Jia Amnesty asked puzzled.

"Don't tell me you don't know, this matter is related to you." Prime Minister Wu glanced at Jia She, leaned closer to Jia She's ear and whispered, "It's about the son-in-law Dou."

Jia She suddenly remembered that last time Song Xi said that the emperor could no longer follow the eldest princess's wishes and planned to formally dispose of Dou's son-in-law.After all, the son-in-law is Dou Cong's biological father after all, and the eldest princess went to the palace several times to beg the queen mother in the past two days.The emperor had been silent before, and it seemed that he wanted to carefully consider it and make a decision with several important ministers before dealing with it carefully.

Jia Amnesty didn't want to get involved in this matter, so he waved his hand and asked Prime Minister Wu to go by himself without taking him with him.

Prime Minister Wu expected Jia Amnesty to be like this, twitched his beard and smiled and said: "Even if you don't go at that time, the emperor will definitely call you to see you again later, it's a toss up and down, why don't you take the initiative, and still show you Be diligent."

Jia She was indifferent.

Prime Minister Wu patted him on the shoulder, telling him to learn to handle things more roundly, don't always have sharp edges and corners, and in the end, he will get a bad nose and suffer a lot.

Jia Amnesty knew that Prime Minister Wu's instructions were out of good intentions, so he said goodbye with a promise, and promised that Prime Minister Wu would come to the Prime Minister's mansion to meet him on time tomorrow morning.

Prime Minister Wu smiled and agreed that he would personally send Jia Amnesty away.

Prime Minister Wu was getting old, so Jia Amnesty dared not to act, so he respectfully bowed his hand and begged him to stay.

"Let's go, let's go, I just have two gossips to tell you on the way." Prime Minister Wu stretched out his hand to signal Jia She to go out, telling him not to worry about seeing him off by himself.

Jia Amnesty asked Prime Minister Wu to hurry up while walking.

"Why are you still in a hurry today? It's nothing serious, but I heard that your brother-in-law's child is not in good health?" Prime Minister Wu asked.

Jia Amnesty nodded, and suddenly remembered the scene he had just seen at the back door of the Prime Minister's Mansion in his mind, so he took a special look at Prime Minister Wu, waiting for his next words.

"I used to have a cough, and I just asked an old doctor to help me treat it. I'll ask him to go to your brother-in-law's house later, so I can show your niece a look." Prime Minister Wu recommended.

Jia Amnesty then asked where the old doctor came from, but he had heard of his name before, and he was considered well-known in the capital, so he nodded in agreement. Whether the use of snow lotus is good for the body or not depends on a doctor's internal diagnosis.

Jia Amnesty was a little disappointed when he saw that Prime Minister Wu had nothing to say after he finished speaking, but he still smiled and said goodbye to Prime Minister Wu.

After going out and getting into the carriage, Zhu Mao asked Jia Amnesty if he should go back to Rongfu or go somewhere else.

Jia Amnesty narrowed his eyes slightly, pondered for a moment, and then told Zhu Mao: "Song Mansion."

……

"You mean that Hengmeng and Jia Yucun walked together, and they also came out from the back door of the Prime Minister's Mansion at the same time?" After Song Xi heard what Jia She had said, he asked again for confirmation.

Jia She nodded, "If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes and heard it with my own ears, I wouldn't believe it. It's already very strange that Jia Yucun suddenly became an official in the Ministry of Household Affairs. He walked with Hengmeng and was also involved with Prime Minister Wu. , it's even more strange."

"Maybe it's just that you are wrong." Song Xi looked at Jia She with deep eyes.

Jia She raised his eyebrows, picked up the tea on the table, and said softly, "Forget it, just pretend I didn't say anything."

"Okay, okay, I believe you." Song Xi smiled, then frowned and said, "It's just as you said, it's really puzzling. This Prime Minister Wu is a veteran of this dynasty. He is loyal to the emperor and patriotic. He is also shrewd, well versed in the doctrine of the mean, and knows how to protect himself. You say that anyone in the court who is involved with Zhenyan is suspected of treason, I believe it, but only Prime Minister Wu."

Song Xi shook his head, saying that Prime Minister Wu could not have made such a stupid choice.

"What you said is very reasonable, Dayang Kingdom is now a defeated country, the country is weak in the first place, more than a thousand members of the Wu clan are rooted in Dazhou, and they are loyal generations, it is absolutely impossible for them to participate in treason. But what I saw is also the truth, so how should I explain it." Jia Amnesty was also very tangled and confused.

"I don't think this matter can be judged arbitrarily based on what you see at a glance. Let's observe it for a while, and be aware of it first, and treat it with caution." Song Xi said.

Jia Amnesty agreed, and felt that this was the only way to go.

Song Xi turned around and asked Jia She how the matter with the Taoist nun was handled.

Jia Amnesty relaxed now, smiled and shook his head, "I didn't catch it, it's a pity that I couldn't verify the effectiveness of the wooden bowl with my own eyes."

Song Xi also laughed, "I'll pick two stronger people to follow you, so that I won't be run away by her next time we meet."

"That's fine, you have to be quick-witted, the more clever the better." Jia She said.

Song Xi agreed, and the meal was passed on.After the two had dinner together, Song Xi hinted to Jia She that it was already autumn and it was getting colder today.

"Yeah, my eldest niece is about to give birth, and I'm thinking about what kind of gift to give to celebrate."

"It's natural to give some long-lived locks and the like for auspiciousness when you have a child. There are two good ones in the Song Mansion's warehouse. You can ask someone to pick them later, and you can just take one and send it away." Song Xi said tightly Staring at Jia She, he continued, "This is not what I want to talk about."

"what is that?"

"Do the math, how many times have we met this summer?" Song Xi asked.

Jia Amnesty was stunned for a moment, and Fang realized what Song Xi said, not knowing whether to laugh or cry, "Have you counted?"

"You don't need to count, it will be imprinted in your mind naturally every time." Song Xi pretended to sigh helplessly, and there was a little sadness in his magnetic voice, "The night is long, sometimes I can only fall asleep with memories."

Jia Amnesty was drinking tea, when he heard this, he burst out laughing and almost spit out the tea.

"Why, you finally know that you're sorry for me?" Song Xi raised his eyebrows and looked at him.

Jia Amnesty put down his teacup and immediately called for some more snacks.

Song Xi looked at the four plates of untouched snacks on the table, and looked at Jia She seriously: "But these don't suit your appetite?"

If he can't even serve Jia She, who is not picky eaters, in the kitchen of his Song Mansion, he should clean it all up.

"No, there's nothing bad about the food in your house. I'll order more, so as not to be hungry at night." After Jia She said that, he stuffed two pieces of snacks into his stomach, and then waved to Song Xi, "Come on."

Song Xi looked at him puzzled.

"Don't you dislike me, tonight I must make you regret what you said." After Jia She said these words sonorously, he dragged Song Xi to the dormitory.

Song Xi raised the corners of his lips in surprise, "I can have this often in the future."

When Jia She came to eat snacks for the third time at night to replenish his strength, he felt that he was being cruel to himself, and that it was nothing more than throwing a stone at his own foot beyond his control, so he threw the biggest stone at him.This person can't accept his old age, and he loses a lot to Song Xi in terms of physical strength.Originally thought that if he didn't have to move, save energy and keep fighting for a long time, he should be able to squeeze Song Xi to the point of begging for mercy, but he never expected that all the things he expected to happen to Song Xi would happen to him.

Jia She sighed, walked and leaned against the window, looking at the vast night outside the window, suddenly felt a little miserable.

At this time, I heard a male voice shouting "Enhou" from inside the house.

Jia Amnesty pretended not to hear.

After a while, a playful male voice came from the room, "Who promised tonight—"

Jia Amnesty patted the crumbs off his hand, and rushed into the room.

It's okay to serve the old, but you have to save face, so work harder!

……

The morning light is faint, and the birds are chirping.

Jia Amnesty raised his eyelids listlessly, and after being shaken several times by Song Xi, he lazily got up from the couch.

"I'll let you sleep at other times. Today, you promised Prime Minister Wu to go to see the saint together." Seeing Jia She sit up, Song Xi turned to get dressed, and reminded Jia She while he was arranging his clothes. .

After Song Xi finished dressing, he didn't hear any movement behind him, turned his head and saw that this guy fell back to sleep on the bed again.

Song Xi hurriedly pulled him up, took the clothes from the servants himself, and changed them for Jia Amnesty.

"I don't want to go." After Jia She reluctantly put on his clothes, he yawned and went down to the ground.

"You must go to this matter. You are the one involved. Even if I feel sorry for you, there is nothing I can do. I can't replace you. Come, drink this bowl of snow lotus porridge to replenish energy and spirit." Song Xi personally brought the bowl to Jia pardon the mouth.

Jia Amnesty was still lazy and didn't intend to move.

Song Xi dismissed the accompanying maids with a wink, then scooped up the porridge with a spoon, blew on it, and tested the heat before delivering it to Jia Amnesty's mouth.

Jia Amnesty was also polite, and just opened his mouth to eat.The taste is not bad, so after eating it, it is natural to open your mouth for the next bite.

Seeing Jia She like this, Song Xi felt happy, and smiled dotingly, wishing that such a life could happen every day.

"You've got a bargain, so of course you're happy to work." After taking a few mouthfuls of porridge, Jia She finally regained his strength, snatched the bowl from Song Xi's hand, and drank the rest of the porridge in two or three mouthfuls.

Seeing that Jia Amnesty had returned to his previous appearance, Song Xi laughed a little disappointed, "It's still as good as before."

"What's the matter, I'm going to be late." After Jia She rinsed his mouth, he quickly wiped his mouth and urged Song Xi to leave quickly.

Song Xi promised that after the two got into the carriage respectively, they went their separate ways.Song Xi went east, he had to go to the Wuying Hall to select the memorials first, and then send them to the Hall of Supreme Harmony.Jia Amnesty will go to the west, first meet Wu Chengxiang, and then go to face Sheng.

However, the three of them finally gathered outside the Hall of Supreme Harmony, together with Cai Feiping, a scholar of Wenhua Hall, Huang Yuande, Minister of Rites, and Liu Zhongliang, Minister of Household Affairs.

As soon as Liu Zhongliang saw Jia Amnesty, he smiled enthusiastically and nodded, saying hello.Huang Yuande's attitude towards Jia She was a little colder, and he glanced at Liu Zhongliang with a strange look, probably because he didn't expect that the upright and upright loyal minister he had always admired would be so flattering to Jia She.

Liu Zhongliang didn't notice Huang Yuande's gaze, but leaned over and asked in a low voice how the situation with Prince Jia She Zhenyan was going.Jia Amnesty shook his head, expressing that he had been controlling the situation very well and hadn't made any progress.

Liu Zhongliang immediately relaxed and nodded.

However, in Huang Yuande's eyes, the small actions of the two are forming cliques and whispering.

Huang Yuande was very angry at the moment, thinking that Jia Amnesty was really the greatest scourge in the court, he first confuses Song Xi, who is both talented and virtuous, and he is in collusion with him, and now he also bribes the most honest minister in the court.This Jia Amnesty is simply a transgendered Daji alive.

Prime Minister Wu noticed that Huang Yuande's eyes were burning with anger, and thought he was angry about Concubine Dou, so he twirled his beard and asked Huang Yuande what he thought of Concubine Dou.

Huang Yuande gritted his teeth and said: "The son-in-law has lost his morality and colludes with the demon girl to do evil. He should set out sternly to warn others!" Although it is not appropriate to make loud noises in front of the Hall of Supreme Harmony, which is far away from the emperor's office, Huang Yuande still raised the volume within the range of etiquette The loudest, and when he spoke, he deliberately stared fiercely at Jia Amnesty, intending to point fingers at Sang Huai.

Only then did Prime Minister Wu realize that Huang Yuande seemed to have a problem with Jia Amnesty, looked at Song Xi, twirled his beard in embarrassment and sneered, and then he stopped talking to Huang Yuande.Huang Yuande focused on Jia She's every move, so naturally he didn't notice Song Xi's icy gaze was already shooting at him.

Prime Minister Wu secretly watched the battle from the corner of his eye, shaking his head in his heart, lamenting that Huang Yuande is really old and confused, and he doesn't know he is stupid.

The emperor then summoned all the important ministers waiting in the side hall to have an audience.

When several people entered the door, the emperor was sipping tea while flipping through the memorials on the table, then put down his teacup, and only looked up at them after the approval.Seeing that Jia Amnesty was among them, the emperor smiled with satisfaction.This Jia Amnesty now has the privilege of walking in front of the imperial court. Today, he may not have to wait and enter the palace, but he just waits with all the ministers, which shows that he is restrained, modest and not impetuous.

After Huang Yuande saluted, he sneaked a glimpse of the emperor's smile, thinking that the emperor was happy because he had read the paperwork he had just handed over, and a smug look suddenly appeared on his face.

Huang Yuande saluted the emperor immediately, and made a conclusion on how the son-in-law Dou dealt with the matter: "The son-in-law lost his morals, stopped his wife and remarried behind the eldest princess' backs, raised an outside room to raise children, and then went on to live with the humble maidservant surnamed Zhu under the eyes of the eldest princess." Ten years, such misbehavior and bad character, it is hard to forgive. Moreover, more than [-]% of the officials in the current court agree with the emperor to abolish the son-in-law and choose a good son-in-law for the eldest princess."

When this matter was mentioned, the emperor's interest was immediately extinguished.Such royal scandals, the emperor would rather not be mentioned for the rest of his life.

It's not a pity to kill a concubine Dou, but what's poor is the eldest princess and their children.The emperor thought about what Dou Cong's child had become now, and didn't know what to say.If you want to blame this child for being cunning and wicked, but he is pitiful. When a child is most innocent, he sees the ugliest things between his parents.This kind of thing may not be able to withstand an adult, let alone a child.

The emperor frowned, and his face was clouded with sorrow. He lowered his voice and looked at Huang Yuande seriously, "Then according to Huang Aiqing's intention, how should we deal with this matter?"

Prime Minister Wu looked at Huang Yuande and saw that he was still looking energetic, so he couldn't help sweating for him.

"The minister, like other officials in the court, implores the emperor to depose such a wicked and immoral son-in-law!" Huang Yuande bowed and said sonorously to the emperor.

Prime Minister Wu raised his eyebrows, and stood there with a solemn face, motionless.At the same time, Song Xi and Jia She also had the same attitude.Cai Feiping naturally followed suit and did not express his opinion.Liu Zhongliang originally wanted to conform to Huang Yuande, but when he saw that the other important ministers did not intend to move, he was not stupid, so he followed suit.

Huang Yuande waited for a long time, and found that his words were not echoed by any officials present. He was embarrassed and a little angry.I sighed that Prime Minister Wu, Song Xi, Liu Zhongliang and others had all changed, and all of this was probably due to the appearance of Jia She.

"You said that you are the same as other officials in the DPRK, but I see that no other officials agree with you."

The emperor wanted to have a serious discussion with Wu Chengping today, how to properly deal with the Concubine Dou, but this Huang Yuande didn't know how to make a decision, so he directly and arbitrarily made a decision for him when he came up. How could the emperor be happy about this move, and naturally he would not give Huang Yuande a good look.

Huang Yuande didn't expect the emperor to ask himself such a question, he became embarrassed, faltered, and didn't know how to answer, so he hurriedly knelt down and apologized to the emperor.

"What does Prime Minister Wu think about this matter?" The emperor glanced at Huang Weide coldly, without any intention of telling him to get up, and asked Prime Minister Wu instead.

Prime Minister Wu immediately stated that Dou Cong was still young, and Dou's son-in-law didn't know about Zhu's organization of the White Lotus Sect, so he could be punished lightly.

"But he doesn't have a princess in his eyes, he stopped his wife and remarried, and he had a child who was an adulterer." Cai Feiping said.

The emperor nodded, indicating that both of them were right, and then asked Jia She if he thought Consort Dou had committed a heinous crime in this matter, and how much punishment should be imposed.

Jia She can see that the emperor's temper is not very good today. In fact, if the eldest princess doesn't pursue the matter of Dou's son-in-law raising a concubine, one is willing to fight and the other is willing to suffer. There is really no need for outsiders to get involved. Bluffing online.But of course Jia Amnesty couldn't tell the emperor these truths, so he followed Song Xi's instructions and said to the emperor: "The sentence hurts the princess's heart, and the sentence is light and I can't explain to the emperors. Find someone A compromise is the best way."

Song Xi glanced at Jia She, with a slight smile in his eyes.

The emperor felt that there was nothing wrong with what Jia She said, but it was not feasible to just talk about it without a practical solution, so he turned to ask Song Xi if there was any real and effective solution.

"I think this matter should be chosen by Prince Dou himself. If he sincerely repents, the emperor will leave him a way to survive, so he appreciates it and fulfills the princess' wish. But if he is obsessed and does not regret If you are willing to 'share life and death' with the Zhu family, you should also let the eldest princess know, so that she will die of her heart, so that she will not continue to hurt herself." Song Xi suggested.

The emperor's eyes lit up when he heard it, and he immediately slapped the table and sighed, saying that this matter will be done according to Song Xi's proposal.

The emperor turned his nostrils to Huang Yuande's side, snorted coldly, and warned Huang Yuande to use his brain more and learn from Song Xi.

After passing by just now, Huang Yuande finally realized how self-righteous and ignorant his previous behavior was, and quickly apologized.

The emperor immediately sent Huang Yuande, Cai Feiping and others away, leaving only Song Xi and Jia She to talk.

"Only a few people know about the child Dou Cong's situation, so I want to leave you two to discuss it alone." The emperor frowned deeply, "After thinking about it for the past few days, I feel that this child must not stay with the eldest princess. He was brought up by his side. His father is like that, and his mother is a master who dotes on him. If this child is raised like this, he will be a disaster in the future. He is ten years old, and he can already provoke people to make such a mess When it comes to big things, if it gets bigger, wouldn't it be more troublesome!"

If it wasn't for the fact that Dou Cong took a slanted sword out of protecting his mother, the emperor felt that his nature was not too bad.Otherwise, the emperor will definitely send this little evil away from afar, leaving it to fend for itself.

"The eldest princess really dotes on Dou Cong too much, and it is not appropriate to continue to educate him." Song Xi warmly agreed, but his face was indifferent, and he did not show any extra concern about this matter.

The emperor looked at Song Xi, "That's right, it's just that if Dou Cong leaves the eldest princess, where will he be raised? It's definitely not suitable for him in the palace, and I don't feel at ease with the princes outside the palace." Dou Cong is a child with a keen mind and an unpredictable city. The person who educates him is definitely not just an ordinary candidate. He must have extraordinary courage, the ability to see things from the slightest and give him strict education. Find out the problems in the child and strangle them in the bud."

Jia Amnesty's heart skipped a beat when he heard this, and then he glanced sideways at Song Xi.Song Xi also happened to be looking at him.

The moment their eyes met, they both guessed what the emperor was thinking without saying a word.

It turned out that this was the real purpose of the emperor leaving the two of them.

Song Xi immediately cupped his hands and said to the emperor: "I am willing to temporarily take the responsibility of the eldest princess and raise Dou Cong."

The emperor raised his eyebrows and looked at Song Xi, with a reluctant expression on his face, "Mu Lin, I didn't pick you, this kid Dou Cong is too naughty and can cause trouble, he is not as sensible as Song Lu at all, even he Even a finger of yours is incomparable. If this child is sent to you to be raised, I'm afraid it's not as good as being in front of the eldest princess."

In order to prove that Song Xi was not suitable, the emperor did not hesitate to belittle his own grandson to the face of Song Lu's fingers.

This is enough hard work, Jia She thought so, and he also accepted his fate in his heart, he is doomed now.

Sure enough, the emperor then called out "Jia Aiqing".
