The first paparazzi in the Red Chamber
Chapter 146 Chapter 1 Paparazzi
Prime Minister Wu was not surprised that Jia She would ask such a question. He twirled his beard politely and explained to Jia She: "The sage is getting weaker and weaker, the third prince is reckless and immoral, the eleventh prince is not great, and the fifteenth prince is young." It has not yet been determined. If it were you, who would you choose? I am just recommending talents, and I have not gone too far."
Seeing that Prime Minister Wu didn't want to talk any more, Jia Amnesty didn't ask any more questions.Jia Amnesty knew Prime Minister Wu too well, he definitely belonged to a shrewd person who would not take a random position until the last moment.It is impossible for him to choose to take risks just because of this reason.
Prime Minister Wu picked up the map of Liuzhou and discussed with Jia Amnesty how they should advise the emperor to suppress the rebels if Tang Tianli, the leader of the Changsheng Army, rebels.
"A [-] tiger battalion is stationed two hundred miles east of Liuzhou. If Zhang Nan fails to negotiate with Tang Tianli, he can also be ordered to mobilize the tiger battalion to besiege and suppress Liuzhou city together."
"Zhang Nan brought [-] elite soldiers, [-] in Liuzhou City, and [-] in the Tiger Camp." Jia Amnesty squinted his eyes and muttered for a while, then asked Prime Minister Wu who the current leader of the Tiger Camp was.
"Wang Tianfang." Prime Minister Wu said.
Jia Amnesty immediately glanced away at Prime Minister Wu: "What's your name?"
Prime Minister Wu looked at Jia Amnesty in puzzlement, and repeated, "Wang Tianfang."
"Ma Tianmo, Tang Tianli, Wang Tianfang." After Jia She finished reading these three names, Prime Minister Wu was taken aback.
"It's a coincidence that all three of them have 'sky' in their characters." Prime Minister Wu smiled.
Jia Amnesty stared at Prime Minister Wu seriously: "If it's not a coincidence, what should we do?"
Prime Minister Wu was shocked immediately, "If it wasn't for a coincidence, there are [-] cavalry in the local area, and our side only has [-] elite soldiers, and they are only infantry. If they are flanked by front and rear, they will definitely suffer."
"If you capture the leader of the general, recruit the rest of the soldiers, and replenish themselves, then they will have 10,000+ soldiers and horses. Now there are only [-] soldiers and horses in the capital guarding the city. The nearest military camp to Beijing is in Jindi, with eight Thousands of soldiers and horses. If the capital is attacked by surprise, it may be too late if the soldiers and horses of Jin are expected to rush back immediately." Jia She analyzed.
Prime Minister Wu looked at Jia Amnesty in astonishment: "But this is just your speculation, it's not true. Why would Wang Tianfang from Tiger Camp conspire against him and help Tang Tianli?"
"Listening to the name, it's a bit like Taoyuan's trio. It depends on whether the three of them really have a relationship before. At the beginning, Tang Tianli's attitude towards me was very arrogant and tough. At that time, I wondered how he could rely on his [-] troops. It really gave him the courage to distort the facts and turn black and white."
Prime Minister Wu suddenly recalled, "Speaking of which, Wang Tianfang is Lord Song's distant cousin, but there should be no connection between them."
Jia Amnesty discussed with Prime Minister Wu: "We should take precautions against this matter. For the time being, we will send someone to inform Zhang Nan to slow down his progress and increase his vigilance. We will make a decision after I have verified the news."
Prime Minister Wu nodded, feeling that Jia She's words made sense.The two immediately reported the matter face-to-face, and the emperor attached great importance to this, and repeatedly told Jia Amnesty that the matter was of great importance and must be carefully investigated.
"In any case, the defense here in the capital is empty, and we must first transfer soldiers and horses from Jin to defend the city." Jia She suggested.
The emperor agreed, "I don't know if the third child is alive or dead, and something like this happened again..." Before he could finish speaking, the emperor coughed violently again.Dai Quan hurriedly served tea, but this time he drank tea, he still coughed and his body shook violently.
Dai Quan panicked, and hurriedly helped the emperor into the inner hall to rest, and ordered someone to send the chief doctor to the doctor.Jia Amnesty and Prime Minister Wu were still waiting in the outer hall, concerned about the emperor's health.
Not long after, Gao Boming came out from the inner hall.There was also a young eunuch sent by Dai Quan to pass on a message to Prime Minister Jia Shewu, telling him that the two of them can resign and there is no need to wait any longer.
The three of them left the palace together, and Jia Amnesty asked Gao Boming how the emperor's health was.
Gao Boming carefully explained to Jia She: "The sage coughed with upper qi, his face was red when he coughed, his throat was dry and his mouth was bitter, and his chest was swollen and painful. It has not healed for more than a month now. .”
Prime Minister Wu: "Is there any way to recuperate and alleviate this disease?"
Gao Boming shook his head, "If the disease lasts for a long time, it will turn from the real to the weak, the lungs will be weak, the yin will hurt the qi, and the evil will become worse. If you feel evil repeatedly, it may be difficult to recover."
Prime Minister Wu glanced at Jia She, who also had a sullen face.
Gao Boming sighed, and bid farewell to the two adults, he had to go back to the imperial hospital, so as to dispense medicine for the emperor, and try to delay the onset of his cough.
Jia Amnesty also bowed his hands, watched Gao Boming go away, and went out of the palace with Prime Minister Wu.Along the way, Prime Minister Wu and Jia She lamented that the current situation in the court was changing, and Jia She should be careful. Although the Holy Majesty is sick, his thoughts are more difficult to guess. They advised Jia She to be more cautious and not to imitate him.
Jia She understood the implication of Prime Minister Wu's words, and advised him not to rush to choose a team among several princes.He felt the sincerity in Prime Minister Wu's words, and took a special look at him. At this time, the servant at the gate of the palace saw the two of them talking, so he hurriedly followed him, and moved closer to his master, Prime Minister Wu, his eyes rolled around.Jia She's eyes swept over immediately, and the young boy suddenly noticed that Jia She seemed to be looking at him, so he quickly lowered his head, showing a humble look.
Prime Minister Wu immediately bid farewell to Jia Amnesty with a smile on his hands, "I'm busy with business, so I bid farewell to Mr. Jia, and we will meet again some other day."
Jia Amnesty nodded in agreement, and after watching the boy wait for Prime Minister Wu to get into the carriage, he got into the carriage himself.
After Jia She watched him off for a while, the black pig leaned over and whispered to Jia She that the situation of the second prince Zhenyan had been investigated.
Jia She turned his head to the black pig and said, "Did you see that blue-clothed boy who was with Prime Minister Wu just now?"
The black pig froze for a moment, then nodded, expressing that he remembered what it looked like.
"Take someone to follow him and watch carefully." Jia She paused for a moment, and then asked Hei Zhu, "During my absence, did any real-faced people or Jia Yucun come and go from Prime Minister Wu's mansion?"
The black pig shook his head, "I have been monitoring, and I have never seen any strange people."
"Go and get things done first, and then come back to me."
The black pig agreed, and then he took the people on horseback.
Jia Amnesty waited at Yushitai for more than an hour, and the black pig came back and told Jia Amnesty that he had arranged for his subordinates to recognize the young man, and that someone would take turns to monitor him in the future, and also sent people to secretly investigate the young man. of origin.
The black pig paused, and then said to Jia She: "The other thing is that among the people watching, someone recognized this young man, saying that he has been in and out of the prime minister's residence frequently in the past month, so they all recognize him." That's right. Speaking of which, this guy is the one who walks around more diligently in the prime minister's mansion. And these days, whenever the prime minister goes out, this guy will definitely follow him. This person should be deeply trusted by the prime minister."
"It's even more important to find out." Jia Amnesty then asked the black pig to report Heng Meng's situation.
Black Pig: "After a month of inquiries from people who have been looking for Zhenyan everywhere, they basically have the same caliber. They all say that the second prince Zhenyan was raised under Concubine Lang's knees since he was a child, and has been taught and raised by Concubine Lang. Everyone in Yan had heard that Dayang Khan loved him very much. As for the princess, there was no other explanation. There was only one princess who had died young, and she had been dead for several years. Besides, the identity of Concubine Lang was tortuous. There is a rumor in Yan folk that Concubine Lang originally planned to marry Dayang Khan's younger brother Heng Bai, but was later taken by Heng Song because of his fancy."
Jia Amnesty quickly wrote it down in his notebook, wondering if Dayang Khan knew the fact that Heng Meng was a daughter.With Heng Song's attitude towards women, if he really knew that Heng Meng was his daughter, he wouldn't let her grow up to such an age in the Zhenyan Tribe as a prince.
Jia She always felt that Heng Song should not have known about Heng Meng's daughter status.But according to Heng Meng's attitude towards Heng Meng when he was injured last time, it seems that he should know that Heng Meng is a woman.Regarding Heng Jun's attitude towards Heng Meng, although he has severe reprimands, he just stays on his lips. In fact, he is modest to Heng Meng, letting her be willful, even when confronting her with swords, he is also yielding. She, let her cut herself.
Jia Amnesty originally thought that Heng Jun and Heng Meng didn't get along with each other before, and the two of them purposely acted in front of him, but after careful consideration, it cannot be ruled out that Heng Jun deliberately indulged Heng Meng, and then took the opportunity to make up a story to win sympathy.Since Jia Amnesty and Heng Meng got in touch, he found more and more that this child is more sincere in his words and deeds.Compared with the former, Jia She felt that the latter was more likely.
Regarding the relationship between Heng Jun and Heng Meng, Jia She felt that he had to observe more.It just so happened that Hengmeng was injured because of himself, so he could use this as an excuse to come and have a look.
After Jia Amnesty quickly dealt with the chores of Yushitai, he came to the door without hesitation.Before leaving, I also asked people to prepare some nourishing and healthy gifts.
When Jia She came to the palace this time, Heng Jun was also there.Hearing that he was coming, Heng Jun invited him to take his seat with a smile on his face, and said to Jia She: "Your Excellency, you don't have to be polite. It is also his blessing that he is lucky enough to save your lord."
Jia She saw that Heng Jun's words were a little hypocritical, so he smiled and agreed, "This is true. After this incident, the saint looked at Prince Hengmeng with admiration, and promoted the further friendly exchanges between Dazhou and Dayang. .”
As soon as Jia She said this, Heng Jun lowered the corner of his mouth, a little unhappy.But he still tried his best to squint his eyes and make a smile, echoing Jia She's words.
"Don't look at the two princes who are usually quarreling like enemies, but when His Royal Highness Heng Meng is injured, I think His Highness is extremely nervous, for fear of losing him." Jia She continued.
Heng Jun's eyes froze for a moment, and he immediately explained to Jia She: "There is nothing to do about it. If there is something wrong with him, I can't explain it to my father when I go back."
When Heng Jun said this, he paused, looked at the direction of the door, then raised his body slightly, and whispered in the direction of Jia She's ear: "If it weren't for that, I might really wish he didn't wake up."
Jia Amnesty looked at Shang Hengjun's dark eyes, and he was staring at himself, trying to express a sincere emotion.
Jia Amnesty smiled.
Seeing that he had fooled Jia Amnesty, Heng Jun sat down and straightened his clothes.
"Jia Enhou heard that you came to see me on purpose?" Before Hengmeng arrived, the voice came from a distance, and then he heard the sound of hurried footsteps, and in the blink of an eye, Hengmeng rushed into the room Come.
Seeing this, Heng Jun scolded him to be more cautious, and was about to say that he would easily damage the wound like this, when he suddenly thought of Jia She's coming again, he held back his words and changed it into a sentence: "You behaved so rudely, it's too rude .”
Heng Meng glared at Heng Jun impatiently, and snorted coldly: "I am willing, you don't care about me." After finishing speaking, she immediately changed her smile, sat down beside Jia She, and asked him why he came to see her again today.
"Your Highness was hurt because of me, and I feel a little sorry. Now that I'm back, I have to visit His Highness more often." After Jia She said that, he asked someone to present a gift list to Geng Meng to show his gratitude.
Heng Meng didn't even look at it, so she pushed it away, "I don't have anything rare, as long as Mr. Jia doesn't bother me so much in the future, I'll be satisfied. Then can I go to see Mr. Jia when I want to play with him in the future?" Looking for? Ah, I forgot, what is your sage's rule now, that we are not allowed to directly contact your courtiers of the Great Zhou Dynasty."
"It's okay, you saved my life, I will ask the saint for special permission." Jia She said.
Seeing that the two were chatting happily, Heng Jun covered his mouth with his fist and coughed, then smiled and said to Heng Meng: "Since my younger brother loves Mrs. Jia so much, why don't you let him have dinner here, and let's have a good chat over wine. "
Before Jia Amnesty could refuse, Heng Meng spoke first: "He just came back, so he is naturally busy with work, so there is no need to do so."
Jia Amnesty agreed.
Heng Jun looked at Heng Meng in surprise, and said with a sneer: "In this case, we can't force it to stay, so I have to let Mrs. Jia have a taste of the herbal tea that our Zhenyan tribe is rich in. It was just delivered this autumn and it tastes very good. .”
Jia Amnesty took two sips of tea, nodded and sighed, and then asked how Heng Meng's injury was recovering.
"The wound has healed very well, there is nothing serious about it, don't worry, I've been beaten and beaten, this little injury is nothing." Heng Meng smiled heartlessly.
Heng Jun glared at him, "It's okay? The doctor said that the arrow almost pierced your vitals, and you lost a lot of blood because of it. You were in a coma for a whole day and almost died."
Jia Amnesty lowered his head and served the tea, listening quietly to Heng Jun's words.
"It's okay if you say it's okay, why are you so wordy." Heng Meng yelled at Heng Jun angrily.
At least Heng Jun doesn't know what's good and what's wrong, and Heng Meng in turn scolds Heng Jun for meddling in his own business.The two quarreled.Finally, Heng Meng couldn't take it anymore, so she took Jia She to go outside, and the two of them went to another place to talk.
"You—" Heng Jun glared at Heng Meng bitterly, then shook his hands and turned his back.
Heng Meng ignored him at all, and took Jia She to go out for a walk in the garden.
Facing the golden chrysanthemums all over the yard, Heng Meng jumped up and down, "You are so beautiful, and there are such beautiful and beautiful flowers in autumn. On our Dayang grassland, there are only such big white and yellow ones all year round. Little flower, there are few other styles."
Heng Jun measured the size of the flower with his hands, and it was about the size of a thumbnail.
"Then His Highness will live in Dazhou forever." Jia She said.
Heng Meng shook her head, "That can't be done, I still have my own things to do. But if I finish my work, people can still be like this, it doesn't matter if I come and live here."
Jia She looked around, there was no one from Heng Jun, Heng Meng's entourage followed from a distance, Jia She lowered his voice and asked Heng Meng if his elder brother knew that she was a daughter.
As soon as Heng Meng heard Jia She mention this matter, she became on guard.From this, Jia Amnesty could see that she must have thought that Heng Jun didn't know.Sure enough, Jia Amnesty saw Heng Meng shaking his head at him.Under Jia Amnesty's subsequent questioning, Heng Meng also admitted that his father, Heng Song, was also unaware.
"I will tell you this right now. If you mention it again later, I will definitely not admit it. My mother told me that I was not allowed to reveal my identity to anyone. Now the only ones who know my daughter's identity are the two accompanying guards and A doctor knew about it. These are the people my mother arranged for me, and they are very reliable." Heng Meng said frankly.Logically speaking, he would not have told Jia She about such a private matter, but for some reason, she somehow felt that Jia She could be trusted.Anyway, he had already seen his daughter, so instead of resisting and not saying anything, he might as well explain it frankly, maybe he could still be understood.
"I've heard something about your mother. It seems that she had a rough life before." Jia She said tactfully.
Heng Meng sneered, "That's right, who told us Dayang Khan to be an unreasonable beast."
Jia Amnesty: "It doesn't seem very good for you to say that about your father."
Heng Meng sneered and didn't answer, but Jia Amnesty read a strong sense of contempt from Heng Meng's attitude.
"Since you have this feeling, you must have investigated it. A person who even wants to rob his brother and wife is something good."
Jia She was silent. Like Heng Meng, he looked at the scenery by the lake with his hands behind his back, and no one spoke for a long time.
"You won't tell the emperor of Zhou the truth about the things you investigated, will you?" Heng Meng suddenly turned around and asked.
"The sage dragon is in poor health, so it is not appropriate to worry about these trivial matters."
Hengmeng's heart skipped a beat, and then she looked at Jia Amnesty gratefully.
Jia Amnesty didn't stare at her to thank her, but bid her farewell.Heng Meng wanted to send her off, but was stopped by Jia She.
"His Highness's injury has not healed, it is more important to pay attention to rest."
Hengmeng didn't force it either, and after watching Jia Amnesty go, she was still in a daze, thinking about her future husband, it would be good if he could look like this man.
"What are you thinking? Could it be that your heart is moved? As far as I know, that man is not only old, but also from Song Mulin. Don't even think about it." Heng Jun stood not far from Heng Meng, with a look of taste on his face.
Heng Meng turned her head and gave Heng Jun a hard look, "Can't you bother me?"
"My own brother, I don't feel sorry for anyone." Heng Jun laughed, and beckoned to the boy beside him to bring the medicine.
Heng Meng glanced at the contents in the bowl, then turned her head stubbornly.
"Ginseng soup, drink it, it's good for your health." Heng Jun looked at Heng Meng worriedly.
Heng Meng kept a cold face, but just refused to listen.
"If you don't want to drink, I will tell my father to let you go back to Dayang."
Heng Meng stretched out her hand and immediately drank the ginseng soup, then glared at Heng Jun resentfully, warning him to mind his own affairs.
"Don't forget my father's order. I came to Dazhou this time to help him accomplish his affairs, not to talk about love with you." Heng Jun reminded him coldly.
Hengmeng stopped, turned her head and said fiercely: "How do you know that I don't like women?"
Heng Jun was stunned.
Heng Meng shouted at Heng Jun: "Normal men like women, why do you think I like men, stay away from me in the future, I don't want to talk to you!"
After Heng Meng finished speaking, she turned around and ran away in a hurry.
Heng Jun watched her leaving back, frowned, and his lips were tightly closed.
……
At dinner time, Jia Amnesty came back on time and ate with Song Xi.
After eating, Jia Amnesty still has the same habit as before. He likes to lean on the Luohan couch, flip through the booklet in his hand, think about the current situation, or read miscellaneous books to relieve fatigue.
Song Xi sat at the table drinking tea, and after a while, he said, "Lian'er came here today and told me two things."
Jia Amnesty didn't raise his eyes, "What are you talking about?"
"Your younger brother will be released from Beijing tomorrow, I hope you can send him away. Then there is the matter of your return to Rongfu. Although your old lady didn't just say it, but from what Lian'er said, her old man is Hope you can move back."
Jia Amnesty stared at Heng Jun's name on the booklet, read it over and over again, and drew a flower under Heng Meng's name.An arrow was drawn from Heng Jun, pointing to the flower.Then wrote the name of Dayang Khan Hengsong, Concubine Lang, and Dayang Khan's younger brother Heng Bai.
"Heng Bai, why haven't I heard this name mentioned before?" Jia She sighed,
"Prince Zhenyan, he died on the battlefield as early as 13 years ago. The people of Zhenyan even blamed Dazhou for this. After many years, they invaded Dazhou with the excuse of their prince Hengbai taking revenge." Song Xi said. , Seeing that Jia Amnesty was still puzzled, he continued to explain, "Heng Bai had a very good reputation in the Zhenyan clan back then, and was very loved. It is said that it is second only to Khan Hengsong."
"I see." Jia She put a question mark under Heng Bai's name, and pointed the arrows drawn from Heng Bai and Heng Song to Concubine Lang.
"Your old lady is very interesting. Seeing that you are promising, she treats you better than before, but she just can't correct her deviation. It's also your fault that you don't like her way of emphasizing kindness and power, and you insist on being with her." Deal with it. This time I failed to scare you, but broke up the family instead, I should be regretful." Song Xi concluded concisely.
"She has no bad intentions, but she doesn't see good people. The old lady still wants to be an ancestor who is worshiped by everyone. But she is unreasonable, so I have no reason to worship her." Jia She said.
"Everyone says I'm ruthless. I think you look a lot like me, but you're actually a ruthless person." Song Xi sighed.
"It's really stupid to treat people with 'love' regardless of good or bad." Jia She said.
Song Xi: "If someone takes the reference book to your matter later, I'm afraid there will be a lot of trouble. The situation in the Liuzhou case was already not good for you. At this time, it's better to keep a low profile. If the emperor knows that you are serious The mother is not filial, so she will be more or less murmuring in her heart. Today's sage is a well-known filial son, even if he understands your situation, he can't ignore outsiders' comments and continue to value you."
Jia Amnesty looked at him and asked him what he meant.
"Come on, if you can't bear it a little, you can make big plans. Just bear with it for a while, the days when we can do whatever we want are not far away." Song Xi said lightly.
Jia She frowned and asked Song Xi what he meant by this, Song Xi laughed and asked Jia She, why didn't he want to go back to the mountains and forests with him, and not care about world affairs.
"I do have this refined mind, but I just think about it casually. If everyone who should be responsible does not take responsibility and only thinks about how to live comfortably, wouldn't this world be in chaos? Those injustices Who will speak up about the matter, who will expose the ugly things? If you hide yourself, out of sight and out of mind, can the people live and work in peace and contentment, without having to suffer from the chaos of war? If so, I would rather find a place to be unrestrained.” Jia She road.
Song Xi smiled lightly when he heard the words, "Your words are not bad, but if you think about it carefully, all living beings have their own definite number, and it is not possible for you to change them alone. The world is still the same world, there are not many people, and there are few people. Few. But for the important people around you, you are the only one, indispensable."
At the end of Song Xi's speech, his pupils constricted, and he looked at Jia Amnesty very seriously.
Jia Amnesty was a little confused when he heard Song Xi's words. He frowned and thought for a while, then looked at Song Xi puzzledly, "Have you believed in something lately?"
"What do you mean by that?"
"Believe in Buddhism, practice Taoism?"
"No."
Jia Amnesty nodded, and stopped thinking about it, and continued to study his own affairs.Anyway, people in the mundane world will always be disturbed by the mundane world. Compared with detachment of thought, Jia She prefers to be pragmatic.
Song Xi smiled helplessly, and served tea to drink by himself without disturbing Jia Amnesty.
The next day, Heizhu replied and told Jia She that the servant next to Prime Minister Wu often went to the Fude Teahouse.
"Fude Teahouse?" Jia Amnesty heard it very familiarly, and realized immediately, "Isn't this the teahouse opposite the Neighborhood Xuan?"
"Exactly, it changed hands three months ago, and now a person surnamed Zhao is taking over. This shopkeeper Zhao is not easy to get along with. I sent people to Fude Tea House to inquire about the situation several times, but he kept calm with a few words It was blocked." The black pig then told Jia She that the specific situation had not been ascertained, but after the boy left the Ford Teahouse, he saw a man wearing a black veil coming out of it and riding a horse. up.
"You didn't follow?" Jia She asked.
"I followed, but it's strange. He is more familiar with the roads of the capital than the beggars like you guys. If you turn around in the alleys, you can't find him. The subordinates are incompetent!" Hei Zhu apologized. .
black gauze man.
Jia Amnesty remembered that before Zhen She committed suicide, someone had witnessed a man wearing a black veil before his death. At that time, Jia Amnesty speculated that this person might be someone from Cao Lan or Concubine Xian.But after such a long time, another black-veiled man appeared.
When it comes to Zhen She, Jia Amnesty can't help but think of the time when he and Cao Lan drugged him in order to make him have an affair with the king of Beijing.
"Master, before I come here, I got a piece of news that the King of Beijing Jing is back." Hei Zhu said.
"Oh, it's true that Cao Cao will arrive." Jia She asked the black pig when it happened.
"Last night, I troubled the imperial guards guarding the city to open the gate before entering the capital. Now that people are at home, there has been no sound, but the old princess was so excited that she stayed up all night. She wiped her tears early in the morning and asked Shui Rong not to leave again." Black Pig Report the news he got from the Beijing Palace truthfully.
Jia She asked the Black Pig people to keep a close eye on King Beijing. If he chose to come back at such a time, he would be considered abnormal in Jia She's eyes.
Heizhu agreed, saying that he had expected the master to have such an arrangement, and had already sent people to watch the Beijing Palace in advance.
In the evening of the next day, the people who monitored the Beijing Palace came to report, saying that the King of Beijing had been out for two days, handed over Zhezi Palace and reported that he was back, and then drove to the outside of the city. After worshiping in front of the grave, he went back to the mansion and kept the door behind closed doors, never seeing anyone outside.
"Is he alone in the room?" Jia She asked carefully.
The black pig nodded, "I didn't ask anyone to serve it. It is said that since the last incident, King Beijing Jing has changed his temperament. He likes to be alone in the house, and he doesn't like to be served by others."
"It sounds nothing unusual." Jia She sighed, but in order to prevent accidents, he still asked the people from the black pig to keep watching.
Jia Lian came again, and this time he took Jia Cong with him. After paying homage to Jia's amnesty, he conveyed Jia's mother's intention and hoped that he could go back.
"The old lady hasn't been feeling well these few days. She's getting sicker every day. She said that no one in the house honors her. It's better to go earlier and go to the underworld to serve the Duke." Jia Lian said sadly, " Our small consolations are useless, and we refuse to take even medicine."
Jia Amnesty said nothing, and sent Jia Lian back.
The next day, there was a note from Huang Yuande impeaching Jia Sheqi for his mother's illness and unfilial piety.Because the emperor was ill, he didn't meet anyone in the Hall of Supreme Harmony, so this brochure was handed over to Cai Feiping first.When Cai Feiping saw this, he immediately suppressed the book and sent someone to notify Jia Amnesty, so that he could handle the matter easily, so don't ask Huang Yuande to take advantage of the loopholes.
Jia Amnesty simply replied to Cai Feiping to reassure him.
Cai Feiping was so angry that he went directly to Jia's house to look for Jia Amnesty: "What do you want me to feel at ease? Huang Yuande said in the book that your Jia family has removed your name, and the same is true in the household registration book. You are no longer a member of the Jia family. Do you know how much it will affect your official career if this matter is made a big by someone with a heart? With the current situation, you cannot be absent from the court!"
"It's strange, everyone said that I can't do without me, but it turns out that you all support the eldest prince unanimously." Jia She frowned and came from Cai Feiping. I remembered, since I came back to now, I have never seen him at a glance."
He also went to this palace quite often, and also went to the household department twice, but he just never saw the First Prince.
"You man, I'm not in a hurry, what about the eldest prince, I really don't worry about you." After Cai Feiping said that, he was so angry that he wanted to leave.
"Why are you polite, have a cup of tea before leaving," Jia She then said half-jokingly, "Do you think the eldest prince is avoiding me on purpose?"
Cai Feiping shook his hand and almost spit out the tea in his mouth. After he swallowed the tea, he looked at Jia She strangely, "You are too funny, what is he doing to hide from you, his majestic prince, it just happened that he didn't meet."
"Forget it, tomorrow is the Asahi, we will always see you." Jia She said.
After Cai Feiping left, Jia Amnesty still didn't visit Jia Mu's place.This old lady has always been troublesome. If she doesn't get serious with her, she will really think that he is easy to bully.This time, Jia Amnesty wanted her to give her a hard time, remember the lesson and never repeat it.
Mother Jia was getting old, and because she didn't take the medicine, she couldn't bear it, and her condition got worse.After the doctor's pulse was diagnosed, he frowning and warned Jia Lian and others that if Jia's mother continued to be so stubborn, she might die in a few days.
Jia Lian, Wang Xifeng and others came to comfort her, and Wang Xifeng even acted miserable, asking the old lady to give her face because of her difficulty in confinement.Mother Jia refused to listen, but Wang Xifeng brought Brother Mao. She was happy to see the child happy, but she still didn't take the medicine.
Jia Mu insisted: "It's just that you have lived enough. You don't need to worry about it. They are all gone."
Everyone knows that the old lady is competing with the old man. She tried to persuade Jia's mother to be at ease, but it didn't work, so they were all distressed.Why don't they know that if this Rongguo Mansion really lacks the Elder Master, the tree will fall and the monkeys will be scattered in a short time.Now the second master is gone, and the family doesn't even have a pillar. This matter is really big, and it's not good for anyone.
Jia Lian gritted his teeth and said, "I'll ask again."
"Master doesn't want to, it's useless how many times you beg. The identity of the old lady is there, so it's impossible to go out in person. Why don't you try to respect Uncle Dongfu?" Wang Xifeng suggested.
Everyone responded, saying that Jia Zhen's opinion could still be heard by the Grand Master.Jia Lian then set off to Xuanzhen Temple.When she arrived at the place, Jia Zhen was attracted by the various mirrors erected in Xuanzhen Guanyuan, and she was overjoyed. She was planning to meet Uncle Jing later. He wanted two pieces to go back and make a glass screen. Even in a mansion as big as Rongfu, the screen is also a rare treasure.Unless there are distinguished guests, they will not move out and use them.
With a bang.
Jia Lian felt that the ground was shaking and the mountains were shaking, and several pieces of glass were shaken to the ground and smashed to pieces.Jia Lian thought the ground was shaking, so he squatted on the ground, regretting the broken glass, thinking how serious the earthquake would be, whether it would cause the houses in the capital to collapse, and kill some people...
After a moment of silence, Jia Lian realized that after the bang just now, there was a slight shaking, and there was nothing after that.After Jia Lian confirmed, he got up.At this time, the servant who was waiting outside Xuanzhen Temple also rushed in and asked Jia Amnesty how he was doing.
Jia Jing, Lu Ming, Fu Chang'an and the others walked back from the back mountain with a smile. When they entered the courtyard and saw so many people standing in the courtyard, they hurriedly reprimanded the news and backed off, and turned to scold the boy who brought the tea.
"I said it earlier, those who want it hard, are not allowed to trespass on this temple, how can you not obey orders."
Jia Lian quickly apologized, saying that it was an accident just now, "Because of the earthquake, they rushed in because they thought something was going on in the courtyard."
Seeing those people gone, Jia Jing whispered to Jia Lian, "It wasn't an earthquake, but what you saw and heard today is not allowed to go out."
There was still joy left on Jia Jing's face, and he couldn't help laughing with Fu Chang'an and the others after he finished speaking.After trying for so long, they finally developed a stable gunpowder formula and found the most correct formula that can make gunpowder exert its power.
"Did you come to see me today for something important?"
Jia Lian then explained his purpose, bowed and asked Jia Jing to intercede.
"Confused, you and I can't solve this kind of thing. You have to give in to your old lady, and she has to express her opinion."
"But the old lady is seriously ill and can't get out of bed, how can I go to him."
"It's not necessary for her to go in person, but she has to make a guarantee that someone around her who can speak for her will do." Jia Jing suggested.
Jia Lian was stunned for a moment, thanked Jia Jing, and went home to discuss with Wang Xifeng.Wang Xifeng then went to Mrs. Li Wanwang, and the three of them called Yuanyang to discuss the matter.Yuanyang went to comfort Jiamu with gentle words, and asked the old lady to take a step back for the future of the family.
Mother Jia snorted coldly, "Tell him to get lost, Rong Mansion will be defeated, and everyone will die!"
"But it's not the time to talk angry. You always think carefully about the future of Second Master Bao and the newborn brother Mao. You can't bear to see them helpless in the future."
Mother Jia closed her eyes and shed two lines of tears, but said nothing.What's the point of being a mother at this point, even if the whole family is ruined, it's hard for her to speak up.Asking her to beg her own son was harder than dying.
"Don't blame the servant girl for talking too much. The old lady said a lot of things that hurt the old man before. It is the most serious thing to tell him that she will be removed from the clan. Anyone who hears it will feel cold. Over the past years, the master has been devoted to you wholeheartedly, and he has never treated you or your family badly. Before, he just encountered some trouble and was kicked away by his clansmen. How can he not feel uncomfortable, how can he untie his knot?"
"Forget it, you go there, he would rather not come back." Mother Jia snorted coldly, then couldn't breathe, and was beaten back by the maids, which made her feel better.
An hour later, the mandarin duck came back.Mother Jia stretched her neck and looked behind her expectantly, but there was no one there, her whole expression suddenly collapsed, her body trembled, and she closed her eyes to faint.
Yuanyang hurried over to help her, among those who pinched the old lady, they called for a doctor.
"There is no need to call any doctor. The master called Doctor Gao and said that the old lady's disease can be cured even if she does not take medicine." Wang Xifeng walked in with a smile.
When Jia Mu heard these words in a daze, she gradually opened her eyes and reached out her hand to signal Wang Xifeng to repeat it.Wang Xifeng smiled and said it again.Jia Mufang gradually woke up, and the maids and women in the room congratulated Jia Mu happily.But Jia Mu sighed with a serious face: "This matter is his duty as a son, what's so strange." But after saying this, Jia Mu's face relaxed a lot, Instead, he looked at Wang Xifeng inquiringly.
Wang Xifeng was stunned for a moment, knowing that Mother Jia was asking why the old man hadn't come back.
"I was going to come back, but I was called away by Master Jing halfway. I heard that I have something to rush to meet the saint." Wang Xifeng continued to speculate, "It may be another major event of meritorious service."
Seeing that Prime Minister Wu didn't want to talk any more, Jia Amnesty didn't ask any more questions.Jia Amnesty knew Prime Minister Wu too well, he definitely belonged to a shrewd person who would not take a random position until the last moment.It is impossible for him to choose to take risks just because of this reason.
Prime Minister Wu picked up the map of Liuzhou and discussed with Jia Amnesty how they should advise the emperor to suppress the rebels if Tang Tianli, the leader of the Changsheng Army, rebels.
"A [-] tiger battalion is stationed two hundred miles east of Liuzhou. If Zhang Nan fails to negotiate with Tang Tianli, he can also be ordered to mobilize the tiger battalion to besiege and suppress Liuzhou city together."
"Zhang Nan brought [-] elite soldiers, [-] in Liuzhou City, and [-] in the Tiger Camp." Jia Amnesty squinted his eyes and muttered for a while, then asked Prime Minister Wu who the current leader of the Tiger Camp was.
"Wang Tianfang." Prime Minister Wu said.
Jia Amnesty immediately glanced away at Prime Minister Wu: "What's your name?"
Prime Minister Wu looked at Jia Amnesty in puzzlement, and repeated, "Wang Tianfang."
"Ma Tianmo, Tang Tianli, Wang Tianfang." After Jia She finished reading these three names, Prime Minister Wu was taken aback.
"It's a coincidence that all three of them have 'sky' in their characters." Prime Minister Wu smiled.
Jia Amnesty stared at Prime Minister Wu seriously: "If it's not a coincidence, what should we do?"
Prime Minister Wu was shocked immediately, "If it wasn't for a coincidence, there are [-] cavalry in the local area, and our side only has [-] elite soldiers, and they are only infantry. If they are flanked by front and rear, they will definitely suffer."
"If you capture the leader of the general, recruit the rest of the soldiers, and replenish themselves, then they will have 10,000+ soldiers and horses. Now there are only [-] soldiers and horses in the capital guarding the city. The nearest military camp to Beijing is in Jindi, with eight Thousands of soldiers and horses. If the capital is attacked by surprise, it may be too late if the soldiers and horses of Jin are expected to rush back immediately." Jia She analyzed.
Prime Minister Wu looked at Jia Amnesty in astonishment: "But this is just your speculation, it's not true. Why would Wang Tianfang from Tiger Camp conspire against him and help Tang Tianli?"
"Listening to the name, it's a bit like Taoyuan's trio. It depends on whether the three of them really have a relationship before. At the beginning, Tang Tianli's attitude towards me was very arrogant and tough. At that time, I wondered how he could rely on his [-] troops. It really gave him the courage to distort the facts and turn black and white."
Prime Minister Wu suddenly recalled, "Speaking of which, Wang Tianfang is Lord Song's distant cousin, but there should be no connection between them."
Jia Amnesty discussed with Prime Minister Wu: "We should take precautions against this matter. For the time being, we will send someone to inform Zhang Nan to slow down his progress and increase his vigilance. We will make a decision after I have verified the news."
Prime Minister Wu nodded, feeling that Jia She's words made sense.The two immediately reported the matter face-to-face, and the emperor attached great importance to this, and repeatedly told Jia Amnesty that the matter was of great importance and must be carefully investigated.
"In any case, the defense here in the capital is empty, and we must first transfer soldiers and horses from Jin to defend the city." Jia She suggested.
The emperor agreed, "I don't know if the third child is alive or dead, and something like this happened again..." Before he could finish speaking, the emperor coughed violently again.Dai Quan hurriedly served tea, but this time he drank tea, he still coughed and his body shook violently.
Dai Quan panicked, and hurriedly helped the emperor into the inner hall to rest, and ordered someone to send the chief doctor to the doctor.Jia Amnesty and Prime Minister Wu were still waiting in the outer hall, concerned about the emperor's health.
Not long after, Gao Boming came out from the inner hall.There was also a young eunuch sent by Dai Quan to pass on a message to Prime Minister Jia Shewu, telling him that the two of them can resign and there is no need to wait any longer.
The three of them left the palace together, and Jia Amnesty asked Gao Boming how the emperor's health was.
Gao Boming carefully explained to Jia She: "The sage coughed with upper qi, his face was red when he coughed, his throat was dry and his mouth was bitter, and his chest was swollen and painful. It has not healed for more than a month now. .”
Prime Minister Wu: "Is there any way to recuperate and alleviate this disease?"
Gao Boming shook his head, "If the disease lasts for a long time, it will turn from the real to the weak, the lungs will be weak, the yin will hurt the qi, and the evil will become worse. If you feel evil repeatedly, it may be difficult to recover."
Prime Minister Wu glanced at Jia She, who also had a sullen face.
Gao Boming sighed, and bid farewell to the two adults, he had to go back to the imperial hospital, so as to dispense medicine for the emperor, and try to delay the onset of his cough.
Jia Amnesty also bowed his hands, watched Gao Boming go away, and went out of the palace with Prime Minister Wu.Along the way, Prime Minister Wu and Jia She lamented that the current situation in the court was changing, and Jia She should be careful. Although the Holy Majesty is sick, his thoughts are more difficult to guess. They advised Jia She to be more cautious and not to imitate him.
Jia She understood the implication of Prime Minister Wu's words, and advised him not to rush to choose a team among several princes.He felt the sincerity in Prime Minister Wu's words, and took a special look at him. At this time, the servant at the gate of the palace saw the two of them talking, so he hurriedly followed him, and moved closer to his master, Prime Minister Wu, his eyes rolled around.Jia She's eyes swept over immediately, and the young boy suddenly noticed that Jia She seemed to be looking at him, so he quickly lowered his head, showing a humble look.
Prime Minister Wu immediately bid farewell to Jia Amnesty with a smile on his hands, "I'm busy with business, so I bid farewell to Mr. Jia, and we will meet again some other day."
Jia Amnesty nodded in agreement, and after watching the boy wait for Prime Minister Wu to get into the carriage, he got into the carriage himself.
After Jia She watched him off for a while, the black pig leaned over and whispered to Jia She that the situation of the second prince Zhenyan had been investigated.
Jia She turned his head to the black pig and said, "Did you see that blue-clothed boy who was with Prime Minister Wu just now?"
The black pig froze for a moment, then nodded, expressing that he remembered what it looked like.
"Take someone to follow him and watch carefully." Jia She paused for a moment, and then asked Hei Zhu, "During my absence, did any real-faced people or Jia Yucun come and go from Prime Minister Wu's mansion?"
The black pig shook his head, "I have been monitoring, and I have never seen any strange people."
"Go and get things done first, and then come back to me."
The black pig agreed, and then he took the people on horseback.
Jia Amnesty waited at Yushitai for more than an hour, and the black pig came back and told Jia Amnesty that he had arranged for his subordinates to recognize the young man, and that someone would take turns to monitor him in the future, and also sent people to secretly investigate the young man. of origin.
The black pig paused, and then said to Jia She: "The other thing is that among the people watching, someone recognized this young man, saying that he has been in and out of the prime minister's residence frequently in the past month, so they all recognize him." That's right. Speaking of which, this guy is the one who walks around more diligently in the prime minister's mansion. And these days, whenever the prime minister goes out, this guy will definitely follow him. This person should be deeply trusted by the prime minister."
"It's even more important to find out." Jia Amnesty then asked the black pig to report Heng Meng's situation.
Black Pig: "After a month of inquiries from people who have been looking for Zhenyan everywhere, they basically have the same caliber. They all say that the second prince Zhenyan was raised under Concubine Lang's knees since he was a child, and has been taught and raised by Concubine Lang. Everyone in Yan had heard that Dayang Khan loved him very much. As for the princess, there was no other explanation. There was only one princess who had died young, and she had been dead for several years. Besides, the identity of Concubine Lang was tortuous. There is a rumor in Yan folk that Concubine Lang originally planned to marry Dayang Khan's younger brother Heng Bai, but was later taken by Heng Song because of his fancy."
Jia Amnesty quickly wrote it down in his notebook, wondering if Dayang Khan knew the fact that Heng Meng was a daughter.With Heng Song's attitude towards women, if he really knew that Heng Meng was his daughter, he wouldn't let her grow up to such an age in the Zhenyan Tribe as a prince.
Jia She always felt that Heng Song should not have known about Heng Meng's daughter status.But according to Heng Meng's attitude towards Heng Meng when he was injured last time, it seems that he should know that Heng Meng is a woman.Regarding Heng Jun's attitude towards Heng Meng, although he has severe reprimands, he just stays on his lips. In fact, he is modest to Heng Meng, letting her be willful, even when confronting her with swords, he is also yielding. She, let her cut herself.
Jia Amnesty originally thought that Heng Jun and Heng Meng didn't get along with each other before, and the two of them purposely acted in front of him, but after careful consideration, it cannot be ruled out that Heng Jun deliberately indulged Heng Meng, and then took the opportunity to make up a story to win sympathy.Since Jia Amnesty and Heng Meng got in touch, he found more and more that this child is more sincere in his words and deeds.Compared with the former, Jia She felt that the latter was more likely.
Regarding the relationship between Heng Jun and Heng Meng, Jia She felt that he had to observe more.It just so happened that Hengmeng was injured because of himself, so he could use this as an excuse to come and have a look.
After Jia Amnesty quickly dealt with the chores of Yushitai, he came to the door without hesitation.Before leaving, I also asked people to prepare some nourishing and healthy gifts.
When Jia She came to the palace this time, Heng Jun was also there.Hearing that he was coming, Heng Jun invited him to take his seat with a smile on his face, and said to Jia She: "Your Excellency, you don't have to be polite. It is also his blessing that he is lucky enough to save your lord."
Jia She saw that Heng Jun's words were a little hypocritical, so he smiled and agreed, "This is true. After this incident, the saint looked at Prince Hengmeng with admiration, and promoted the further friendly exchanges between Dazhou and Dayang. .”
As soon as Jia She said this, Heng Jun lowered the corner of his mouth, a little unhappy.But he still tried his best to squint his eyes and make a smile, echoing Jia She's words.
"Don't look at the two princes who are usually quarreling like enemies, but when His Royal Highness Heng Meng is injured, I think His Highness is extremely nervous, for fear of losing him." Jia She continued.
Heng Jun's eyes froze for a moment, and he immediately explained to Jia She: "There is nothing to do about it. If there is something wrong with him, I can't explain it to my father when I go back."
When Heng Jun said this, he paused, looked at the direction of the door, then raised his body slightly, and whispered in the direction of Jia She's ear: "If it weren't for that, I might really wish he didn't wake up."
Jia Amnesty looked at Shang Hengjun's dark eyes, and he was staring at himself, trying to express a sincere emotion.
Jia Amnesty smiled.
Seeing that he had fooled Jia Amnesty, Heng Jun sat down and straightened his clothes.
"Jia Enhou heard that you came to see me on purpose?" Before Hengmeng arrived, the voice came from a distance, and then he heard the sound of hurried footsteps, and in the blink of an eye, Hengmeng rushed into the room Come.
Seeing this, Heng Jun scolded him to be more cautious, and was about to say that he would easily damage the wound like this, when he suddenly thought of Jia She's coming again, he held back his words and changed it into a sentence: "You behaved so rudely, it's too rude .”
Heng Meng glared at Heng Jun impatiently, and snorted coldly: "I am willing, you don't care about me." After finishing speaking, she immediately changed her smile, sat down beside Jia She, and asked him why he came to see her again today.
"Your Highness was hurt because of me, and I feel a little sorry. Now that I'm back, I have to visit His Highness more often." After Jia She said that, he asked someone to present a gift list to Geng Meng to show his gratitude.
Heng Meng didn't even look at it, so she pushed it away, "I don't have anything rare, as long as Mr. Jia doesn't bother me so much in the future, I'll be satisfied. Then can I go to see Mr. Jia when I want to play with him in the future?" Looking for? Ah, I forgot, what is your sage's rule now, that we are not allowed to directly contact your courtiers of the Great Zhou Dynasty."
"It's okay, you saved my life, I will ask the saint for special permission." Jia She said.
Seeing that the two were chatting happily, Heng Jun covered his mouth with his fist and coughed, then smiled and said to Heng Meng: "Since my younger brother loves Mrs. Jia so much, why don't you let him have dinner here, and let's have a good chat over wine. "
Before Jia Amnesty could refuse, Heng Meng spoke first: "He just came back, so he is naturally busy with work, so there is no need to do so."
Jia Amnesty agreed.
Heng Jun looked at Heng Meng in surprise, and said with a sneer: "In this case, we can't force it to stay, so I have to let Mrs. Jia have a taste of the herbal tea that our Zhenyan tribe is rich in. It was just delivered this autumn and it tastes very good. .”
Jia Amnesty took two sips of tea, nodded and sighed, and then asked how Heng Meng's injury was recovering.
"The wound has healed very well, there is nothing serious about it, don't worry, I've been beaten and beaten, this little injury is nothing." Heng Meng smiled heartlessly.
Heng Jun glared at him, "It's okay? The doctor said that the arrow almost pierced your vitals, and you lost a lot of blood because of it. You were in a coma for a whole day and almost died."
Jia Amnesty lowered his head and served the tea, listening quietly to Heng Jun's words.
"It's okay if you say it's okay, why are you so wordy." Heng Meng yelled at Heng Jun angrily.
At least Heng Jun doesn't know what's good and what's wrong, and Heng Meng in turn scolds Heng Jun for meddling in his own business.The two quarreled.Finally, Heng Meng couldn't take it anymore, so she took Jia She to go outside, and the two of them went to another place to talk.
"You—" Heng Jun glared at Heng Meng bitterly, then shook his hands and turned his back.
Heng Meng ignored him at all, and took Jia She to go out for a walk in the garden.
Facing the golden chrysanthemums all over the yard, Heng Meng jumped up and down, "You are so beautiful, and there are such beautiful and beautiful flowers in autumn. On our Dayang grassland, there are only such big white and yellow ones all year round. Little flower, there are few other styles."
Heng Jun measured the size of the flower with his hands, and it was about the size of a thumbnail.
"Then His Highness will live in Dazhou forever." Jia She said.
Heng Meng shook her head, "That can't be done, I still have my own things to do. But if I finish my work, people can still be like this, it doesn't matter if I come and live here."
Jia She looked around, there was no one from Heng Jun, Heng Meng's entourage followed from a distance, Jia She lowered his voice and asked Heng Meng if his elder brother knew that she was a daughter.
As soon as Heng Meng heard Jia She mention this matter, she became on guard.From this, Jia Amnesty could see that she must have thought that Heng Jun didn't know.Sure enough, Jia Amnesty saw Heng Meng shaking his head at him.Under Jia Amnesty's subsequent questioning, Heng Meng also admitted that his father, Heng Song, was also unaware.
"I will tell you this right now. If you mention it again later, I will definitely not admit it. My mother told me that I was not allowed to reveal my identity to anyone. Now the only ones who know my daughter's identity are the two accompanying guards and A doctor knew about it. These are the people my mother arranged for me, and they are very reliable." Heng Meng said frankly.Logically speaking, he would not have told Jia She about such a private matter, but for some reason, she somehow felt that Jia She could be trusted.Anyway, he had already seen his daughter, so instead of resisting and not saying anything, he might as well explain it frankly, maybe he could still be understood.
"I've heard something about your mother. It seems that she had a rough life before." Jia She said tactfully.
Heng Meng sneered, "That's right, who told us Dayang Khan to be an unreasonable beast."
Jia Amnesty: "It doesn't seem very good for you to say that about your father."
Heng Meng sneered and didn't answer, but Jia Amnesty read a strong sense of contempt from Heng Meng's attitude.
"Since you have this feeling, you must have investigated it. A person who even wants to rob his brother and wife is something good."
Jia She was silent. Like Heng Meng, he looked at the scenery by the lake with his hands behind his back, and no one spoke for a long time.
"You won't tell the emperor of Zhou the truth about the things you investigated, will you?" Heng Meng suddenly turned around and asked.
"The sage dragon is in poor health, so it is not appropriate to worry about these trivial matters."
Hengmeng's heart skipped a beat, and then she looked at Jia Amnesty gratefully.
Jia Amnesty didn't stare at her to thank her, but bid her farewell.Heng Meng wanted to send her off, but was stopped by Jia She.
"His Highness's injury has not healed, it is more important to pay attention to rest."
Hengmeng didn't force it either, and after watching Jia Amnesty go, she was still in a daze, thinking about her future husband, it would be good if he could look like this man.
"What are you thinking? Could it be that your heart is moved? As far as I know, that man is not only old, but also from Song Mulin. Don't even think about it." Heng Jun stood not far from Heng Meng, with a look of taste on his face.
Heng Meng turned her head and gave Heng Jun a hard look, "Can't you bother me?"
"My own brother, I don't feel sorry for anyone." Heng Jun laughed, and beckoned to the boy beside him to bring the medicine.
Heng Meng glanced at the contents in the bowl, then turned her head stubbornly.
"Ginseng soup, drink it, it's good for your health." Heng Jun looked at Heng Meng worriedly.
Heng Meng kept a cold face, but just refused to listen.
"If you don't want to drink, I will tell my father to let you go back to Dayang."
Heng Meng stretched out her hand and immediately drank the ginseng soup, then glared at Heng Jun resentfully, warning him to mind his own affairs.
"Don't forget my father's order. I came to Dazhou this time to help him accomplish his affairs, not to talk about love with you." Heng Jun reminded him coldly.
Hengmeng stopped, turned her head and said fiercely: "How do you know that I don't like women?"
Heng Jun was stunned.
Heng Meng shouted at Heng Jun: "Normal men like women, why do you think I like men, stay away from me in the future, I don't want to talk to you!"
After Heng Meng finished speaking, she turned around and ran away in a hurry.
Heng Jun watched her leaving back, frowned, and his lips were tightly closed.
……
At dinner time, Jia Amnesty came back on time and ate with Song Xi.
After eating, Jia Amnesty still has the same habit as before. He likes to lean on the Luohan couch, flip through the booklet in his hand, think about the current situation, or read miscellaneous books to relieve fatigue.
Song Xi sat at the table drinking tea, and after a while, he said, "Lian'er came here today and told me two things."
Jia Amnesty didn't raise his eyes, "What are you talking about?"
"Your younger brother will be released from Beijing tomorrow, I hope you can send him away. Then there is the matter of your return to Rongfu. Although your old lady didn't just say it, but from what Lian'er said, her old man is Hope you can move back."
Jia Amnesty stared at Heng Jun's name on the booklet, read it over and over again, and drew a flower under Heng Meng's name.An arrow was drawn from Heng Jun, pointing to the flower.Then wrote the name of Dayang Khan Hengsong, Concubine Lang, and Dayang Khan's younger brother Heng Bai.
"Heng Bai, why haven't I heard this name mentioned before?" Jia She sighed,
"Prince Zhenyan, he died on the battlefield as early as 13 years ago. The people of Zhenyan even blamed Dazhou for this. After many years, they invaded Dazhou with the excuse of their prince Hengbai taking revenge." Song Xi said. , Seeing that Jia Amnesty was still puzzled, he continued to explain, "Heng Bai had a very good reputation in the Zhenyan clan back then, and was very loved. It is said that it is second only to Khan Hengsong."
"I see." Jia She put a question mark under Heng Bai's name, and pointed the arrows drawn from Heng Bai and Heng Song to Concubine Lang.
"Your old lady is very interesting. Seeing that you are promising, she treats you better than before, but she just can't correct her deviation. It's also your fault that you don't like her way of emphasizing kindness and power, and you insist on being with her." Deal with it. This time I failed to scare you, but broke up the family instead, I should be regretful." Song Xi concluded concisely.
"She has no bad intentions, but she doesn't see good people. The old lady still wants to be an ancestor who is worshiped by everyone. But she is unreasonable, so I have no reason to worship her." Jia She said.
"Everyone says I'm ruthless. I think you look a lot like me, but you're actually a ruthless person." Song Xi sighed.
"It's really stupid to treat people with 'love' regardless of good or bad." Jia She said.
Song Xi: "If someone takes the reference book to your matter later, I'm afraid there will be a lot of trouble. The situation in the Liuzhou case was already not good for you. At this time, it's better to keep a low profile. If the emperor knows that you are serious The mother is not filial, so she will be more or less murmuring in her heart. Today's sage is a well-known filial son, even if he understands your situation, he can't ignore outsiders' comments and continue to value you."
Jia Amnesty looked at him and asked him what he meant.
"Come on, if you can't bear it a little, you can make big plans. Just bear with it for a while, the days when we can do whatever we want are not far away." Song Xi said lightly.
Jia She frowned and asked Song Xi what he meant by this, Song Xi laughed and asked Jia She, why didn't he want to go back to the mountains and forests with him, and not care about world affairs.
"I do have this refined mind, but I just think about it casually. If everyone who should be responsible does not take responsibility and only thinks about how to live comfortably, wouldn't this world be in chaos? Those injustices Who will speak up about the matter, who will expose the ugly things? If you hide yourself, out of sight and out of mind, can the people live and work in peace and contentment, without having to suffer from the chaos of war? If so, I would rather find a place to be unrestrained.” Jia She road.
Song Xi smiled lightly when he heard the words, "Your words are not bad, but if you think about it carefully, all living beings have their own definite number, and it is not possible for you to change them alone. The world is still the same world, there are not many people, and there are few people. Few. But for the important people around you, you are the only one, indispensable."
At the end of Song Xi's speech, his pupils constricted, and he looked at Jia Amnesty very seriously.
Jia Amnesty was a little confused when he heard Song Xi's words. He frowned and thought for a while, then looked at Song Xi puzzledly, "Have you believed in something lately?"
"What do you mean by that?"
"Believe in Buddhism, practice Taoism?"
"No."
Jia Amnesty nodded, and stopped thinking about it, and continued to study his own affairs.Anyway, people in the mundane world will always be disturbed by the mundane world. Compared with detachment of thought, Jia She prefers to be pragmatic.
Song Xi smiled helplessly, and served tea to drink by himself without disturbing Jia Amnesty.
The next day, Heizhu replied and told Jia She that the servant next to Prime Minister Wu often went to the Fude Teahouse.
"Fude Teahouse?" Jia Amnesty heard it very familiarly, and realized immediately, "Isn't this the teahouse opposite the Neighborhood Xuan?"
"Exactly, it changed hands three months ago, and now a person surnamed Zhao is taking over. This shopkeeper Zhao is not easy to get along with. I sent people to Fude Tea House to inquire about the situation several times, but he kept calm with a few words It was blocked." The black pig then told Jia She that the specific situation had not been ascertained, but after the boy left the Ford Teahouse, he saw a man wearing a black veil coming out of it and riding a horse. up.
"You didn't follow?" Jia She asked.
"I followed, but it's strange. He is more familiar with the roads of the capital than the beggars like you guys. If you turn around in the alleys, you can't find him. The subordinates are incompetent!" Hei Zhu apologized. .
black gauze man.
Jia Amnesty remembered that before Zhen She committed suicide, someone had witnessed a man wearing a black veil before his death. At that time, Jia Amnesty speculated that this person might be someone from Cao Lan or Concubine Xian.But after such a long time, another black-veiled man appeared.
When it comes to Zhen She, Jia Amnesty can't help but think of the time when he and Cao Lan drugged him in order to make him have an affair with the king of Beijing.
"Master, before I come here, I got a piece of news that the King of Beijing Jing is back." Hei Zhu said.
"Oh, it's true that Cao Cao will arrive." Jia She asked the black pig when it happened.
"Last night, I troubled the imperial guards guarding the city to open the gate before entering the capital. Now that people are at home, there has been no sound, but the old princess was so excited that she stayed up all night. She wiped her tears early in the morning and asked Shui Rong not to leave again." Black Pig Report the news he got from the Beijing Palace truthfully.
Jia She asked the Black Pig people to keep a close eye on King Beijing. If he chose to come back at such a time, he would be considered abnormal in Jia She's eyes.
Heizhu agreed, saying that he had expected the master to have such an arrangement, and had already sent people to watch the Beijing Palace in advance.
In the evening of the next day, the people who monitored the Beijing Palace came to report, saying that the King of Beijing had been out for two days, handed over Zhezi Palace and reported that he was back, and then drove to the outside of the city. After worshiping in front of the grave, he went back to the mansion and kept the door behind closed doors, never seeing anyone outside.
"Is he alone in the room?" Jia She asked carefully.
The black pig nodded, "I didn't ask anyone to serve it. It is said that since the last incident, King Beijing Jing has changed his temperament. He likes to be alone in the house, and he doesn't like to be served by others."
"It sounds nothing unusual." Jia She sighed, but in order to prevent accidents, he still asked the people from the black pig to keep watching.
Jia Lian came again, and this time he took Jia Cong with him. After paying homage to Jia's amnesty, he conveyed Jia's mother's intention and hoped that he could go back.
"The old lady hasn't been feeling well these few days. She's getting sicker every day. She said that no one in the house honors her. It's better to go earlier and go to the underworld to serve the Duke." Jia Lian said sadly, " Our small consolations are useless, and we refuse to take even medicine."
Jia Amnesty said nothing, and sent Jia Lian back.
The next day, there was a note from Huang Yuande impeaching Jia Sheqi for his mother's illness and unfilial piety.Because the emperor was ill, he didn't meet anyone in the Hall of Supreme Harmony, so this brochure was handed over to Cai Feiping first.When Cai Feiping saw this, he immediately suppressed the book and sent someone to notify Jia Amnesty, so that he could handle the matter easily, so don't ask Huang Yuande to take advantage of the loopholes.
Jia Amnesty simply replied to Cai Feiping to reassure him.
Cai Feiping was so angry that he went directly to Jia's house to look for Jia Amnesty: "What do you want me to feel at ease? Huang Yuande said in the book that your Jia family has removed your name, and the same is true in the household registration book. You are no longer a member of the Jia family. Do you know how much it will affect your official career if this matter is made a big by someone with a heart? With the current situation, you cannot be absent from the court!"
"It's strange, everyone said that I can't do without me, but it turns out that you all support the eldest prince unanimously." Jia She frowned and came from Cai Feiping. I remembered, since I came back to now, I have never seen him at a glance."
He also went to this palace quite often, and also went to the household department twice, but he just never saw the First Prince.
"You man, I'm not in a hurry, what about the eldest prince, I really don't worry about you." After Cai Feiping said that, he was so angry that he wanted to leave.
"Why are you polite, have a cup of tea before leaving," Jia She then said half-jokingly, "Do you think the eldest prince is avoiding me on purpose?"
Cai Feiping shook his hand and almost spit out the tea in his mouth. After he swallowed the tea, he looked at Jia She strangely, "You are too funny, what is he doing to hide from you, his majestic prince, it just happened that he didn't meet."
"Forget it, tomorrow is the Asahi, we will always see you." Jia She said.
After Cai Feiping left, Jia Amnesty still didn't visit Jia Mu's place.This old lady has always been troublesome. If she doesn't get serious with her, she will really think that he is easy to bully.This time, Jia Amnesty wanted her to give her a hard time, remember the lesson and never repeat it.
Mother Jia was getting old, and because she didn't take the medicine, she couldn't bear it, and her condition got worse.After the doctor's pulse was diagnosed, he frowning and warned Jia Lian and others that if Jia's mother continued to be so stubborn, she might die in a few days.
Jia Lian, Wang Xifeng and others came to comfort her, and Wang Xifeng even acted miserable, asking the old lady to give her face because of her difficulty in confinement.Mother Jia refused to listen, but Wang Xifeng brought Brother Mao. She was happy to see the child happy, but she still didn't take the medicine.
Jia Mu insisted: "It's just that you have lived enough. You don't need to worry about it. They are all gone."
Everyone knows that the old lady is competing with the old man. She tried to persuade Jia's mother to be at ease, but it didn't work, so they were all distressed.Why don't they know that if this Rongguo Mansion really lacks the Elder Master, the tree will fall and the monkeys will be scattered in a short time.Now the second master is gone, and the family doesn't even have a pillar. This matter is really big, and it's not good for anyone.
Jia Lian gritted his teeth and said, "I'll ask again."
"Master doesn't want to, it's useless how many times you beg. The identity of the old lady is there, so it's impossible to go out in person. Why don't you try to respect Uncle Dongfu?" Wang Xifeng suggested.
Everyone responded, saying that Jia Zhen's opinion could still be heard by the Grand Master.Jia Lian then set off to Xuanzhen Temple.When she arrived at the place, Jia Zhen was attracted by the various mirrors erected in Xuanzhen Guanyuan, and she was overjoyed. She was planning to meet Uncle Jing later. He wanted two pieces to go back and make a glass screen. Even in a mansion as big as Rongfu, the screen is also a rare treasure.Unless there are distinguished guests, they will not move out and use them.
With a bang.
Jia Lian felt that the ground was shaking and the mountains were shaking, and several pieces of glass were shaken to the ground and smashed to pieces.Jia Lian thought the ground was shaking, so he squatted on the ground, regretting the broken glass, thinking how serious the earthquake would be, whether it would cause the houses in the capital to collapse, and kill some people...
After a moment of silence, Jia Lian realized that after the bang just now, there was a slight shaking, and there was nothing after that.After Jia Lian confirmed, he got up.At this time, the servant who was waiting outside Xuanzhen Temple also rushed in and asked Jia Amnesty how he was doing.
Jia Jing, Lu Ming, Fu Chang'an and the others walked back from the back mountain with a smile. When they entered the courtyard and saw so many people standing in the courtyard, they hurriedly reprimanded the news and backed off, and turned to scold the boy who brought the tea.
"I said it earlier, those who want it hard, are not allowed to trespass on this temple, how can you not obey orders."
Jia Lian quickly apologized, saying that it was an accident just now, "Because of the earthquake, they rushed in because they thought something was going on in the courtyard."
Seeing those people gone, Jia Jing whispered to Jia Lian, "It wasn't an earthquake, but what you saw and heard today is not allowed to go out."
There was still joy left on Jia Jing's face, and he couldn't help laughing with Fu Chang'an and the others after he finished speaking.After trying for so long, they finally developed a stable gunpowder formula and found the most correct formula that can make gunpowder exert its power.
"Did you come to see me today for something important?"
Jia Lian then explained his purpose, bowed and asked Jia Jing to intercede.
"Confused, you and I can't solve this kind of thing. You have to give in to your old lady, and she has to express her opinion."
"But the old lady is seriously ill and can't get out of bed, how can I go to him."
"It's not necessary for her to go in person, but she has to make a guarantee that someone around her who can speak for her will do." Jia Jing suggested.
Jia Lian was stunned for a moment, thanked Jia Jing, and went home to discuss with Wang Xifeng.Wang Xifeng then went to Mrs. Li Wanwang, and the three of them called Yuanyang to discuss the matter.Yuanyang went to comfort Jiamu with gentle words, and asked the old lady to take a step back for the future of the family.
Mother Jia snorted coldly, "Tell him to get lost, Rong Mansion will be defeated, and everyone will die!"
"But it's not the time to talk angry. You always think carefully about the future of Second Master Bao and the newborn brother Mao. You can't bear to see them helpless in the future."
Mother Jia closed her eyes and shed two lines of tears, but said nothing.What's the point of being a mother at this point, even if the whole family is ruined, it's hard for her to speak up.Asking her to beg her own son was harder than dying.
"Don't blame the servant girl for talking too much. The old lady said a lot of things that hurt the old man before. It is the most serious thing to tell him that she will be removed from the clan. Anyone who hears it will feel cold. Over the past years, the master has been devoted to you wholeheartedly, and he has never treated you or your family badly. Before, he just encountered some trouble and was kicked away by his clansmen. How can he not feel uncomfortable, how can he untie his knot?"
"Forget it, you go there, he would rather not come back." Mother Jia snorted coldly, then couldn't breathe, and was beaten back by the maids, which made her feel better.
An hour later, the mandarin duck came back.Mother Jia stretched her neck and looked behind her expectantly, but there was no one there, her whole expression suddenly collapsed, her body trembled, and she closed her eyes to faint.
Yuanyang hurried over to help her, among those who pinched the old lady, they called for a doctor.
"There is no need to call any doctor. The master called Doctor Gao and said that the old lady's disease can be cured even if she does not take medicine." Wang Xifeng walked in with a smile.
When Jia Mu heard these words in a daze, she gradually opened her eyes and reached out her hand to signal Wang Xifeng to repeat it.Wang Xifeng smiled and said it again.Jia Mufang gradually woke up, and the maids and women in the room congratulated Jia Mu happily.But Jia Mu sighed with a serious face: "This matter is his duty as a son, what's so strange." But after saying this, Jia Mu's face relaxed a lot, Instead, he looked at Wang Xifeng inquiringly.
Wang Xifeng was stunned for a moment, knowing that Mother Jia was asking why the old man hadn't come back.
"I was going to come back, but I was called away by Master Jing halfway. I heard that I have something to rush to meet the saint." Wang Xifeng continued to speculate, "It may be another major event of meritorious service."
