Every Red Mansion dungeon must play the ending of Long Aotian

Compared with Qin Keqing's funeral a few years ago, Jia Jing's funeral is not trivial: In terms of material, after Jia Zhen made an excuse to repay the deficit, their Ningguo Mansion's warehouse was empty, and they could not come up with money. The funeral can only be kept simple; in terms of favor and scale, even Jia’s mother from the Rongguo Mansion did not come, and Jia Zhengwang’s wife just sat down for a while and left, just like an outsider, as if Jia Jing was an outsider in the first place , has nothing to do with them.

Jia's mother didn't deal with Jia Jing, and she just let go, saying that she was an elder and had a long life, but she didn't come over.On the surface, this is justified, after all, she is over seventy years old, so she is really afraid of being bumped into.

But Jia Zhen is Jia Jing's own son!When Jia Jing was alive, Jia Zhen was afraid that he would die of fear, but now that Jia Jing is gone, although Jia Zhen would not be able to openly celebrate going up a mountain, but there is still something on her face, and then the guests who come and go I saw it.

The guests who came to express their condolences saw Jia Jing's funeral was so simple, and then saw Jia Zhen's face was completely devoid of sorrow and even a little bit happy, how could they not mutter?Even if you don't say it on the surface, you will inquire about it behind the scenes.

You know, when Qin Keqing died, not only was the funeral extremely extravagant, but even Jia Jing was on crutches, looking like a concubine in mourning.Now that he has really reached the stage of the funeral examination, how can people not think about his appearance like this?How to keep people from talking.

However, the Ningguo Mansion and the Rongguo Mansion pride themselves on being benevolent, and they have no way to restrain their servants. The people below are used to talking about everything. Therefore, the affairs of Jia Zhenjia Rong and his son and Er You have long been spread throughout the capital and even To the palace!

After the Supreme Emperor heard about it, he didn't say anything, only said:

"Humph!"

He called his servant, pointed to the goldfish tank donated by the Japanese Kingdom that had been placed in the Nuan Pavilion for several years, and said, "Take this out."

What happened to the Jia family was so disgusting that he didn't want to hear it again.

He didn't want to dirty his ears.

Where do you not understand what he means?

Jia Zhen and Jia Rong's actions consumed the last trace of the Supreme Emperor's patience with the Jia family.In other words, Jia Zhen and Jia Rong's actions completely pissed off the Supreme Emperor.

There are more and more servants at Jia's house fighting the autumn wind.

Mrs. Wang knew that Jia Yuanchun was under confinement, how dare she refuse these locust-like eunuchs, she could only laugh along with her, and freed up her belongings to send to these eunuchs.But how can these eunuchs be content?Whenever Mrs. Wang's money is late, there will be complaints, and Mrs. Wang must make up for it generously.

Mrs. Wang was devastated.

She originally thought that after Jia She was born and she became the real hostess of the Rongguo Mansion, the financial situation would improve. How could she expect such a result?

Mrs. Wang can only come to Jia Mu to discuss.

If Jia Amnesty is still in the Rongguo Mansion at this time, if Wang Xifeng is in charge at this time, out of balance considerations, Mother Jia might nod her head and take out her belongings to help Wang Xifeng support her face, so that Wang Xifeng can restrain Mrs. Wang So as to ensure his status as the old lord of the Rongguo Mansion.

But now, Mrs. Wang's family is the only one in the Rongguo Mansion, how can Mother Jia be willing to show herself?

Jia's mother said: I am getting old, and this mansion (Rongguo Mansion) has long been handed over to Mrs. Wang. Since Mrs. Wang has taken care of it for the past 20 years, there is no need to consult her opinion now, and handle it according to the regulations. That is.

It's astonishingly let go.

They said they were asking for Jia's mother's opinion, but in fact, they were not counting on this Jia's mother's dowry private house?

Mrs. Wang's careful thinking, not to mention Jiamu Yuanyang and others, even Li Wan and Tanchun's ilk can see it.

Mrs. Wang held back her stomach and couldn't help it when she returned to her room.She excused that the family was spending a lot of money and wanted to be frugal, so she first dismissed Jia Lan's nanny, and then changed the monthly money of Aunt Zhao and the two little girls next to Aunt Zhou by half, directly making Zhou and Zhao spend less money each month. Five hundred dollars...

But how much can this frugality save?

But at this time, Xiren spoke to her in a "virtuous" way, saying that Jia Baoyu was too old and could no longer hang out with the girls.

Mrs. Wang, as if she had found a treasure, immediately said that Jia Baoyu was too old to need so many maids, and that Jia Baoyu was a junior and could not surpass her elders in pomp, so she immediately kicked out Qingwen and other pretty girls.

Mother Jia was very upset, so she turned around and found an excuse to beat Mrs. Wang.

While the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were fighting, they completely ignored the royal family's reaction.

The Jia family on Ningrong Street has titles and official titles, but they are Jia Zheng and Jia Zhen. In his heart, how could others be willing to get close to him and pass on important news to him?

Jia Zhen's performance at Jia Jing's funeral left the world too late for him. How could he get the news in time, and how could he warn Mrs. Jia Muwang?

Just when the news of the Jia family was blocked, the emperor had already taken action.

Call the deficit again.

From the time when the emperor was still a prince, Guochao began to press the deficit until today, several years after he ascended the throne, Guochao is still troubled by the deficit.And the two big heads who have been in arrears and refused to pay back, one is the Zhen family and the other is the Jia family.

The matter of Jia Zhenjia Rong made the emperor disgusted to death, but for the emperor, the most important thing right now was the deficit, the empty treasury.Although the father and son Jia Zhenjiarong belonged to the circle of lords and nobles, to the emperor, they were just insects, not worth mentioning at all.

The emperor once again issued an edict to urge the Ministry of household affairs.

In fact, the Ministry of Accounts is also very weak on the issue of calling for shortfalls.This is not the first time that the Ministry of Accounts has called for a shortfall. When the current emperor was still a prince, he was in charge of calling for a shortfall, but what happened?The name of today's Living Hades resounds throughout the government and the public, that is, the current emperor has won the throne and has become the supreme, but where are the several "payment reminders" who followed him to urge the deficit back then?

A few were retaliated against and died early.

Because of offending someone, not only their official careers are not going well, but even their children's marriages are also very unhappy.

What did they pay so much for?

The King of Hades and Prince Gui Jianchou got the position of supreme as compensation, but what about them?

Up to now, the people who really talk about the deficit are the officials of the Ministry of Households!Over the years, the imperial court has called on the deficit more than once.If the civil and military officials make a fuss, the matter of calling for payment will be left alone.Then these officials of the household department, if they don't contribute to the urging, they will be hated by their superiors, and if they work hard in the urging, they will be hated by all civil and military officials!

Impressively, the left is wrong, the right is wrong, this is wrong, that is wrong!

Therefore, the officials of the household department regard the collection deficit as a fierce tiger. When the higher-ups issued an edict to urge the collection of the deficit, the household department would delay it if it could, and if it could not, it would draw a ghost lottery. Whoever got it would preside over the collection of the deficit. Then wait to be retaliated by others and be reduced to mud.

Anyway, that's the end result!

Most of the household officials thought so. Therefore, when the emperor's edict was issued to the household department again, a considerable number of household officials could not believe that the Guochao was going to be serious.

This is still the case for the Ministry of Households, let alone the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty.Not to mention the Jia family, which has long been marginalized.

A wait-and-see measure was taken outside, and many people in the palace were also watching.

Not long after, the news came that Concubine Zhen Gui was critically ill, and Manchu was shocked.

Concubine Zhen Gui is the favorite concubine of the Supreme Emperor. Before the abdication of the Supreme Emperor, she was called the noble concubine and was actually the lord of the six palaces. Her son was even the most popular candidate for the crown prince at one time!Although she has been "sick" for a long time, and many people know that she will never recover, but when this day comes, it will still be like an earthquake above the court!

In fact, many people in the palace had vaguely guessed that Concubine Zhen Gui's death was tricky, and the Supreme Emperor and the Emperor even knew that the Zhen family might have guessed something vaguely.In order to stabilize the Zhen family, and to uproot the Zhen family in the future, the Supreme Emperor deliberately made a heartbroken look, and announced that a national funeral will be held for Concubine Zhen Gui!

You know, even though Concubine Zhen Gui has actually controlled the court for nearly 30 years, she is no different from the mother of the country, but in terms of status, she is still a noble concubine, and above her is the Empress Dowager.

Generally speaking, when the empress (Emperor Taishang) is present and the imperial concubine (Great Concubine) below dies, there will be no national mourning.Make the funeral more grand, yes, national funeral, no.Because the national mourning represents the master of the country, and only the Supreme Emperor, the Supreme Empress, and the Emperor and Empress can hold a national mourning.According to etiquette, Concubine Zhen Gui is not qualified!

A stunned young man from Yushitai went to the book and expressed his opposition.

Right in the arms of the Supreme Emperor.

The Supreme Emperor was furious and said that he must hold a national funeral for Concubine Zhengui, so the emperor interceded for the censor, the Supreme Emperor angrily punished the emperor, "willing to go his own way" to hold a national funeral for Princess Zhengui, and finally the entire court was involved, the Supreme Emperor Later, he was reprimanded, and the queen was fined for one year.

Officials from the Ministry of Rites were also involved.The Ministry of Etiquette stated that if a national funeral is to be held for Concubine Zhen Gui, what kind of specifications should her funeral be in?Is it too queen size?

Of course, the emperor could not let such a thing happen.

Now that Concubine Zhen Gui enjoys the treatment of the Empress Dowager, someone asks later, is he going to give up the throne to Concubine Zhen Gui's son? !

It is absolutely impossible for the emperor to back down on this issue, even for his own wealth and life, it is impossible for him to back down.

There was an uproar in the hall, and it is said that the Supreme Emperor was so angry that he passed out.

Is the Zhen family satisfied with this?They are very satisfied.The Jia family, which is in the same group as the Zhen family, and the family of lords and nobles headed by the four princes and eight princes are also very satisfied with this.

In the end, the result of the debate was that, because the Empress Dowager was still alive, the funeral of Concubine Zhen Gui was still organized according to the standards of a concubine, but it was one year longer than the national law stipulated that a concubine should be treated for a national funeral.

The Zhen family is proud, and the Jia family is proud.

There is a saying that if you want to make it die, you will make it crazy.

Here, the coffin of Concubine Zhen Gui is still parked in the Feng'an Hall of the Imperial Mausoleum, and it was revealed that Jia Zhen gathered people to gamble and drink in the Ningguo Mansion.

You know, the Supreme Emperor mourned the death of Concubine Zhen Gui, and "willingly go his own way" won a year of national mourning for Concubine Zhen Gui.According to the national law, drinking, banqueting and playing are not allowed during national funerals.Jia Zhen is like this, did she hit the Taishanghuang's knife?

The Supreme Emperor directly launched an attack, confiscated the Ningguo Mansion and sent him to prison, and threw Jia Zhenjia Rong and his son into the prison.

Youshi was so frightened that he hurried to Rongguo Mansion to ask Mother Jia for help.

Mother Jia hesitated.

Mrs. Wang, who was sitting below, pressed the corner of her mouth with a handkerchief, and said, "Brother Zhen is too flamboyant. We all know that the Empress Dowager is the most important person in the heart of the Supreme Emperor. For the national funeral of the Dowager Gui , even Wan Sui and the empress made a scene, and Brother Zhen wanted to gather for drinking, gambling, riding and shooting at the national funeral of the empress dowager, and even with the two sisters-in-law... how can relatives help to plead for mercy?"

After Jia Amnesty invited her to become a patriarch, although Jia Zheng did not get a hereditary title, Mrs. Wang was already a veritable mistress in the Rongguo Mansion.Jia Yuanchun, the daughter of the imperial concubine, greatly fueled Mrs. Wang's ambitions. She was no longer satisfied with the mere Rongguo Mansion, and she set her eyes on the position of the patriarch of the Jia clan.In the face of her ambition, what kind of green is Jia Zhen? !

She wished that Jia Zhen and his son would disappear completely.

Jia's mother also said: "Yes. Zhen's daughter-in-law, the only ones who can help with this matter are the empress and the Zhen family. Even the queen empress has been punished, how can our empress speak? This is not pure What is it for us to go to the Supreme Emperor to find shame? As for the Zhen family, Brother Zhen has no sympathy for the matter of the imperial concubine, how can the Zhen family help?"

After thinking for a while, Mother Jia also added: "Don't resent the old relatives for not reaching out. Who made you repay the shortfall!"

You Shi was completely dumbfounded.

She walked out of Rongguo Mansion almost in a daze.

Her stepmother and two younger sisters had gone back long ago, and her daughter-in-law was also taken away by her natal family because she had never given birth. There was a seal on the gate of the huge Ningguo Mansion, and there were hundreds of servants, but now she was left alone. These few, and all of them are like frightened birds.

The once impressive Ningguo Mansion just disappeared into the noble circle, like a drop of dew disappearing under the scorching sun, without a sound.The only one who cared about the Ningguo Mansion was probably Mrs. Wang, because she wanted to take over the Jia family and become the wife of the head of the Jia family.She sent Youshi to the famous nunnery in Beijing, where the women who made mistakes from various families in Beijing were the last home, and there were only those who went in and never came out.

Mrs. Wang didn't care about what Youshi would encounter here, she wished that Youshi would disappear soon.Because of this, Mrs. Wang had no idea that within two days after You Shi entered the nunnery, someone picked her up and settled her in a small village in the suburbs of Beijing.

Jia Zhen, Jia Rong's father and son and Jia Mu Wang's wife didn't care about Jia Jing's death at all, but Jia She and Xi Chun did.Even though Youshi had a lot of dereliction of duty when she was the hostess of Ningguo Mansion, she did her best for Jia Jing's funeral and did the best within her power. Jia Zhen and others disliked her for being troublesome, but Jia She and Xichun remembered, but also Jia Qiang and Jia Yun, etc., or those who were close to Jia Jing, or remembered Jia Jing's kindness.

Ningguo Mansion was ransacked, but the emperor would not stop there.

He issued an imperial edict again, requiring the Zhen family and the four princes and eight princes and other noble families to repay the deficit.Rongguo Mansion and other four princes and eight princes did not take it seriously at all. The Rongguo Mansion is still drunk and dreamy, let alone the Zhen family.

The Zhen family is still immersed in the dream that the Supreme Emperor treats Concubine Zhen Gui very differently, thinking that they can take advantage of the Emperor's remaining affection for Concubine Zhen Gui and let the three girls of the Zhen family enter the palace to become imperial concubines or concubines.

They had great expectations for the third girl of the Zhen family.

Unexpectedly, Lin Ruhai, who had only been serving as the left servant of the household department for a year, suddenly raised an attack, saying that the Zhen family had taken action against the Jiangnan treasury and borrowed a lot of money and food, which led to many bad debts in the household department.

Thirty percent of the world's taxes come from Jiangnan. The Jiangnan treasury is an important warehouse for the country's money and food reserves. If there is a deficit in the Jiangnan treasury, why doesn't the court check it?What's more, the Zhen family has already borrowed a lot of money from the state treasury, and they are already short-lived. They even made a move to the treasury. What do they need so much money for?

Both the Supreme Emperor and the Emperor issued an imperial edict, demanding a thorough investigation.

Guochao quickly appointed imperial envoys to set up a special task force to conduct investigations, and the second in command was the stupid Yushi.Before the Zhen family could react, the Imperial Forest Army rushed to Jinling and surrounded the Zhen family so tightly that not even a fly could fly out.As soon as the imperial envoy arrived in Jinling, he calmly investigated, and then sent all the evidence to Beijing.

At this time, the second wife of the Zhen family, who was staying in the capital with the two girls, realized that something was wrong, and hurriedly transferred their property in the other courtyard of the Zhen family in the capital.

She vaguely guessed that it might be their Zhen family's turn next, and it would not be safe to store everything with her daughter Princess Beijing.Because she knew very well what kind of person King Jing was.Once something happens to the Zhen family, Princess Beijing may also fall ill. For the sake of her descendants, it is safer to store them in the three burrows separately.

Many smart people also realized that something was wrong and closed the door to the Zhen family. Only a few people such as Mrs. Jia Muwang didn't care.

Mother Jia just felt that this year's omen was really bad. First, Ningguo Mansion had a national funeral, and she had nothing to say, and then Zhen's family. The Zhen family also had an accident.

Mother Jia is getting old, and she doesn't like to hear these things the most, so she just pretends not to know.

As for Mrs. Wang, she was blinded by money and completely unaware of the seriousness of the matter.Mrs. Wang first collected the things, and then sent someone to tell Yuanyang to find a chance to talk to Jiamu quietly, obviously not paying attention to the law of the country.

The emperor was eager for her to do so.

You know, in this year, there is a crime called Lianzao.The Jia family is guilty of the same crime as the Zhen family for hiding the property of the Zhen family.Mrs. Wang thought that it was not a big deal for her to collect the property of Zhen's family, but she did not expect that she just gave the emperor an excuse to clean up the Rongguo Mansion.

Not long after the Mid-Autumn Festival of this year, the Royal Forest Army rushed into Jia's house.

The Zhen family, the Jia family, these old houses of lords and nobles fell one after another, and one illegal thing after another was found out.At the end of the investigation, even the Supreme Emperor became worried.

You must know, lords and nobles, these centuries-old families are originally derivatives of imperial power and beneficiaries of the power cake.In the power pyramid of the dynasty, nobles and nobles were originally vested interests and an important support for the imperial power. Now, with so many families of nobles and nobles falling down, the Supreme Emperor has also begun to waver.

But at this time, the Taishanghuang was already on the verge of riding a tiger.

Because at this time, Guochao has lost the hearts of nobles and nobles. If it stops at this time, it will not be able to restore these veteran nobles.

The emperor's heart is like fried.

On the other hand, the emperor was also very aware of this situation.However, he was young and strong, and he didn't want to give in to these nobles and nobles.Therefore, he made an excuse, saying that the palace had no tall trees that would hinder the queen due to fire prevention, so he consulted the Supreme Emperor, took his concubines and children to the Summer Palace, and left the Supreme Emperor and those old nobles behind. the capital.

So far, the court has also split into two factions. One is the conservative faction who stayed in the capital. the capital.The emperor's confidantes followed the emperor and all moved to the summer palace.

Miaoyu immediately realized the political significance of the emperor's coming to the summer palace to escape the summer heat. She took advantage of the emperor's visit to the empress to speak to the emperor, reminding the emperor that he must have soldiers, especially navy:

"What if a foreign race lands from Dagukou and approaches the Summer Palace?"

The emperor adopted Miaoyu's suggestion and sent the Shaoqing of Honglu Temple as an envoy to question Goryeo: You only reported 26 warships, but in fact you built more than 200 warships, and all of them were of a certain draft. above the sea ship.What's going on here?

At the same time, there were also mobilizations of the border troops on the border between Guochao and Koryo.

The royal court of Goryeo was terrified, thinking that the country would take military action.

The ruler of Goryeo entered the palace overnight, analyzed the strengths and weaknesses of the two countries for the King and Queen of Goryeo, and finally came to the conclusion that Goryeo can't afford to offend Shangguo right now.

King Koryo had to order that 170 ships be destroyed, leaving only 42 ships for inspection by the state.At the same time, Wang Ji was sent to the court to show her submission.

The long-awaited secret envoy of the country and court immediately took action and bought 120 of them from relevant officials at a very low price.

They are all standard big sea ships, the draft is deep enough, and the load exceeds the standard of the country.You must know that at that time, the Guochao, as the suzerain state, had clear regulations on the armaments of the vassal states below. How many warships and troops the vassal states had had to be reported to the Guochao. This is a practice that has continued since the Tang and Song Dynasties. .For thousands of years, both the Central Plains and the vassal states have done this.

These Koryo ships have become ironclad evidence that Koryo has been secretly dissatisfied with the country and the Central Plains.

Although the emperor was very dissatisfied, he also knew that now was not a good time to do something to Goryeo.Therefore, on the surface, he treated the Queen of Korea very courteously, not only canonized her as the imperial concubine, but also allowed her to enjoy the treatment of a concubine, but secretly, he was very guarded against Gao Li.

After so many things, the emperor also found out that he needs a prince, a prince who is young enough, the mother must have a certain status, and the relationship with the royal family must be close enough-not blood, but loyalty Proximity in degree - more importantly, both the prince's mother and mother clan must be cautious enough to know.

In fact, the emperor's favorite candidate was the queen's legitimate son.However, the queen has been diagnosed long ago, and it is impossible to give birth.The emperor consulted the queen's opinion again, no, the queen rejected the proposal to let girls from her family or mother clan enter the palace, and once again stated that any prince and daughter are her children, and she will treat every prince and daughter as her own. As oneself.

Upon seeing this, the emperor could only make his own decision.

After careful investigation, he chose Jia Yingchun—whose personality is soft enough, or can't stand up at all, just enough for the queen to give birth to a child, and her surname is Jia, who is Jia Daishan's granddaughter, and can be used to appease the rest of the family. House of Lords and Nobles.

The queen was informed that when the one-year national mourning period for Concubine Zhen Gui expired, the emperor sent Da Zongbo and the Minister of Rites to Jia She's house to hire Jia Yingchun as his concubine.

Rongguo Mansion was confiscated, and even Jia's mother was put under house arrest in a small courtyard with two entrances. Jia Amnesty was running about her mother's affairs, so how could she care about her daughter?Now that the angel came to the door, Jia Amnesty was dumbfounded.

Jia She is not an idiot, although he has been home for most of his life, but what he has learned as a young man has been deeply rooted in his bones, and it is not easy to lose it.

If Jia Yingchun had a marriage contract, then Jia Amnesty could refuse it. Since Jia Yingchun did not have a marriage contract and there was no marriage certificate recorded in the household yellow book, Jia Amnesty had no reason to refuse the royal court to hire his daughter.

Jia Amnesty could only agree, and while preparing for his daughter's entry into the palace, he hurriedly asked his son to come to Yizhong Palace to inquire about news.

Naturally, Miaoyu and Concubine Yizhong would not hide it.

When she got the news, Mrs. Jia Shexing didn't know whether she was relieved or worried.Jia Amnesty did not hide from her daughter, but chose to tell the truth to her daughter, and told her that she must listen to the queen after entering the palace, follow the queen every step of the way, and ask the queen or princess if she doesn't understand. Make up your own mind, don't have anything to do with Jia Yuanchun and Fengzao Palace...

The news that Jia Yingchun is about to enter the palace cannot be hidden from Jia's mother. Jia's mother asked Yuanyang to give Jia Yingchun a message.

It has to be said that Jia Yingchun was raised a little stupidly. Mrs. Jia Shexing has tried her best these years, and the nuns have taught her a lot, but she is still stupid, and she doesn't know the importance.

She actually believed Jia's mother's words, thinking that cousins ​​should support each other, and then pleaded for Jia Yuanchun when she was sleeping.

The emperor walked away in a huff and left her cold for half a year.

In the end, it was the emperor himself who let it go.

He originally regarded Jia Yingchun as a reproductive tool, so he didn't care about Jia Yingchun's own quality.

The emperor favored Jia Yingchun several times, and after confirming that Jia Yingchun was pregnant, he stopped coming.It has to be said that Jia Yingchun is not good at other aspects, but she has a strong stomach. She was pregnant in the palace for nine months, and gave birth to a little prince in the summer of the second year.It's a pity that the prince didn't let her take a look when he landed, so he ordered the emperor to give him to the queen to raise him.

Miaoyu, who knew the inside story, only sighed when she heard about it.

Even after procrastination and procrastination, her marriage will have to be seen.

Among the five adopted daughters of the royal family, she ranks second in terms of age.The eldest princess in front chose a son-in-law last year, but unfortunately, before the eldest princess came out, the son-in-law's family had already been liquidated due to the deficit, and now the royal family had to re-select a son-in-law for the eldest princess.

As for Miaoyu, if it wasn't for Concubine Zhen Gui's national funeral, the palace would have chosen a marriage for her that year, but now, it has been postponed for three years, and her marriage cannot be delayed any longer.
