It is a terrible thing to be angry when one does not get angry very often.

The Taishanghuang's heart, which had been softened recently after seeing Mrs. Zhen, was suddenly hardened by the empress dowager's anger.

--

But when it comes to anger, the emperor is the most angry.

According to people familiar with the matter, Jia Zhen spoke freely at the wine table, pulled a certain relative (Xue Pan) and said: "This time the incident is not the first of its kind - just look at our current sage, Didn't the successor Wuzi also order him to retire to Shangjing Palace now?"

In Jia Zhen's mouth, the emperor directly became the upper beam that was not straight and the lower beam was crooked, and his nose was about to crooked when he was angry.

He snarled at his son in private: "What bastard, dare to talk about me! How can Emperor Yushe have the duty to be a courtier!"

Xin Hongcheng stood below, looking at his own father who was about to breathe fire, so he suppressed the words of justice in his heart.

In fact, this is also a common problem among officials and eunuchs. Their eyes are fixed on the palace. For example, the emperor recently expressed his intention to be frugal, and everyone flocked to follow the simple route;

Although Empress Yang herself asked to retire, outsiders only saw a few rather strict imperial edicts from the emperor, and even the palace was not repaired for others, so the subordinates inevitably followed suit.

In comparison, Jia Zhen feels that she is quite benevolent: at least Youshi is still in charge of this family, and still enjoys the treatment of a regular wife, which is no better than the emperor.

--

After the emperor roared, it happened that the emperor ordered the eunuch to pass the decree, explaining to the emperor that he should not care about the friendship of the old ministers and just deal with it seriously.

And directly replaced the impartial and serious treatment that the Supreme Emperor said, with serious treatment.

"Punishment, heavy punishment!" The emperor began to dip his pen: "I see that the brand of Ningguo Mansion should be picked up, it is a third-class general, oh, and there is also this hereditary third-class general, I also see it." There is no need to stay any longer."

Seeing Xin Hongcheng poking in front of him, the emperor couldn't help but ask: "The Ningrong and Rongfu are from the same line, and the crown princess grew up in the Rongguo Mansion..."

Xin Hongcheng hurriedly made a package for his daughter-in-law: "Ningguo Mansion's family tradition is not right. Ever since the Crown Princess was raised under Shi Taijun's lap, she has not set foot in Ningguo Mansion for several years except for New Year's visits."

By the way, he introduced the ins and outs of Jia Xichun, a daughter from the Xianing State Mansion, who became a monk: "Actually, my son has heard about this matter for a long time, and he only said that he found it difficult to hear, so there is no need to tell the emperor at all."

"The girl of their family was raised under Shi Taijun's knees with the Crown Princess since she was a child. She has no tolerance for sand in her eyes. Seeing that there was a lot of trouble in Ningguo Mansion, she went directly to the Muni Court. Both Shi Taijun and the Crown Princess were sent to send them off. It can be regarded as tacit consent. It can be seen that they all look down on Ningguo Mansion, but they are from the ancestors."

Xin Hongcheng never expected that the Ningguo Mansion would dare to directly challenge the etiquette of the social system.

Maybe it's true love, he sighed.

--

At this time, Jia Zhen was kneeling obediently in the ancestral hall.

Jia Min and several senior members of the clan sat at the head.

The elders were all offshoots, and they were worried that Jia Zhen was the head of the clan and they didn't dare to speak harshly. They were in charge, sighing and shaking their heads, and cooperated with Jia Min to reprimand Jia Zhen with a heartbroken gesture.

Jia Min, however, was furious: "Help your relatives, rely on your wealth to rely on your power, force you to withdraw from your marriage, stop your wife and remarry, you have done a good deed!"

Jia Zhen was downcast.

Jia Min patted the armrest of the chair with a frosty face and said: "Come here! Go outside the city to invite someone! Such a big event happened at home, and Master Jing is still messing with the Taoist priests outside the city. Mercury refining, even if my son overturns the Ningguo Mansion, won’t he come out until the next day when he ransacks his family and exterminates his family! Then I don’t think he can become a god if he doesn’t cultivate his sinful virtues!”

She once again realized the benefits of being Jia's mother. Everyone in the family is from the younger generation. Not to mention Jia Zhen and Baoyu's generation, they are grandchildren. Fan.

Jia Zhen knew that her father didn't care about outside affairs, so she dared to make trouble, but when she heard that Jia's mother was going to send someone to invite Jia Jing, she was also frightened.

It's not that Jia Jing saw through the world of mortals and became a monk in pursuit of longevity since he was a child. On the contrary, he is considered to be a relatively outstanding member of the Jia family. He is better than Jia She and Jia Zheng in reading.

Later, I strayed into the "fairy way" again.

When he was young, Jia Zhen was also ruthless in disciplining him. Beating his son was like beating a thief. Jia Zhen was also afraid of killing her own father, and spent more than ten years trembling.Then, once liberated, he released his nature and started to act recklessly.

After all, Jia Zhen was not an official in the court, so her knowledge was short, and she thought that the Ningrong Second Mansion was a good day when there were two dukes protecting her, and she allowed her children and grandchildren to be rich and happy, and they could handle everything.

What's more, in his opinion, this is just a private matter in his inner house, and he just hides it from his elders because he is afraid of being scolded.

At this time, although Emperor Xuanhe's approval document had not yet come down, Jia Zhen was already so frightened that her bones softened when she heard the imperial history book.

He still remembered that Erfang was separated from the family because of the censor's book that day, which led to his downfall today. Even Wang Ziteng was forced out of the capital, let alone him!

So he kowtowed to Rongguo Mansion to ask Shi Taijun.

Jia Min can't wait to smash the teacup on his head: the bad things in Ningguo Mansion are related to the relationship between men and women. reputation.

So he went out in the past two or three years, deliberately never being with Youshi, and he also ordered Mrs. Xing, Wang Xifeng, etc. to pay special attention to words and deeds, not to show any closeness to the Ningguo Mansion.

Sure enough, the outsiders nodded when they heard that the Ningguo Mansion pouted, but when they heard that the girls were raised under the knees of the old lady of the Rongguo Mansion.

After all, Shi Taijun also raised a princess, who was certified by the royal stamp.

After entering the palace, the crown princess served the sick and pure filial piety, and then became the director of the family. She has always had a good reputation among the clan.

But now, the Ningguo mansion's murder has been revealed by Yu Shiyi, and Jia Min is really furious. She deeply regrets that she only focused on her daughter in the past two years, and only tried to understand the relationship with the second room.He also thought that if the family was separated twice in three years, it would inevitably cause people to talk about the disintegration of the Jia family, but it would be frivolous to go to the Ningguo Mansion!So much so that today, both Ningrong and Rongfu are ashamed together.

It was the first time for Yuanyang to see this "Shi Taijun" furious, and she was also frightened into silence for the past two days.

Wang Xifeng used to have a good relationship with Youshi Qin Keqing's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, and even organized funerals for the Ningguo Mansion. Now that she thinks about it, she is even more disturbed. She just lay down and pretended to be sick to hide, for fear that wandering around in front of her ancestors would remind her of the past.

Mrs. Xing tremblingly pinned her handkerchief to serve as the housekeeper, and also arrested Yingchun, who was embroidering the dowry in An Jing, to help.

--

Jia Zhen is also nearly forty years old, and she was crying at this time: "The old lady taught me that it was the grandnephew who was blinded by lard, who ate too much wine that day, and asked her sisters to coax her, and she will be so happy." It's done."

Then he kowtowed again: "It's just that as the saying goes, 'the arms are only folded in the sleeves', the nephew and grandson are not capable of handling this matter now, so please ask the old lady to ask the princess and concubine to tell your Highness to help you anyway, and you are not called a courtier I saw the jokes about the relatives of His Highness the Crown Prince."

If the mandarin ducks are there, they will definitely write the word "serve" to Jia Zhen: These few words are really repeated in Jia Min's minefield.

Sure enough, Jia Min stood up and almost poked the crutch directly on Jia Zhen's head.

"Relatives! What kind of relatives are we in the family? The crown princess's surname is Lin, not Jia! It's just me, an old woman who has been fortunate enough to have raised my empress for several years, but I dare not visit the palace often in the name of relatives, and I will not enter without an order." What's more, the Ningguo Mansion! There are many rewards in the palace, which are also the benevolent grace of the heavenly family, who would have thought that the crown prince would have so many relatives!"

"Who are his relatives? His respectable mother's relative, Lord Zhong Hou, has just taken the position of Governor of Zhejiang Province to serve the country. The relatives of his adoptive mother Yang's family have also pacified the emperor for many years in the northwest. How many Yang family men are buried in the northwest land Come on, these are his relatives! I don't know when the Crown Prince will have more relatives like you who stop wives and remarry in Beijing!"

Jia Zhen was so scolded that she couldn't lift her head, and cried bitterly.

I just thought in my heart: Sure enough, Shi Taijun is shrewd and cruel, so I want to get rid of it now.But after all, you can't write two characters of "Jia" in one stroke. Don't tell me it's irrelevant if you say it's irrelevant?

Ningguo Mansion was impeached, Rongguo Mansion will be fine?The princess's reputation is good?Sooner or later, you have to reach out and take care of it.

Jia Min continued to urge: "Where are you going to invite the people who respect the master? Didn't I send people there early in the morning? Why haven't there been any news yet?"

Jia Zhen's eyes darkened, and she felt resentful: You lied to me just now when you said that you wanted to invite my father back, but you let him go early in the morning!

Just as I was talking, I saw a young servant crawling in from outside, kowtowing and saying: "Old lady, Master Zhen, something serious has happened!"

--

The emperor dealt with the Ningguo Mansion happily, and after Qin Wu came out of the palace to announce the decree, his mood improved a lot, and he began to ask his son about the Shuangyi Kingdom.

This matter was the first important government affairs that Xin Hongcheng handled, so he naturally paid special attention to it. The post station sent letters urgently, and when the news was received, it was only two or three days later than that in Zhejiang.

"Lord Zhong Hou and Zuo Shilang have personally sent Princess Yucheng to the capital of the former Xiyi Kingdom, and redeemed the King of Nan'an County and Zhen Yingqi."

It is said that the second master of the Zhen family fainted on the spot when he saw that his beloved daughter had come to make a kiss in person, and that the meeting of father and daughter would be a forever farewell.

It was Master Zhonghou who asked people to carry him back.

The newly appointed king of Shuangyi Kingdom was also a little surprised to see that the princess sent by the sky/chao for marriage was such a noble woman with both talent and beauty.

Seeing that Lord Zhonghou and the others came to the island in military uniform, except for twenty personal soldiers, they did not have a large army on the island, so they handed over the hostages with confidence.

Lord Zhong Hou was a soldier all his life, not good at diplomacy, not to mention the language barrier, so he made a background board.On the contrary, the left servant of the Ministry of War selected by Xin Hongcheng, not only a natural diplomat, but also cared about this task, and taught himself some words of the Dongyi Kingdom in advance.

Even when he left, he also received two beautiful maidservants from the Dongyi Kingdom as a gift from the king.

This very ambitious king held the hand of Zuo Shilang in private, and said with sincere feelings: "This king has unified the two countries, and now he has been recognized by the heaven/chamber, so naturally he wants to make a career in the sea. It's just that the king of Japan Fearing that the heaven/chaotianzi would be furious, so he promised five times the tribute...But you have also seen, my lord, that the former subjects of the Xiyi Kingdom have great resistance to our Dongyi Kingdom, and they are still revolting everywhere. This king forced me I had to sit in the land of Xiyi myself, and I never went back to Dongyi. Presumably my lord knows that this is a waste of money, and I really can't afford it."

He sold two boxes of the most beautiful gems: "I heard that your lord is an official to the left servant of the Ministry of War, and please come to me to speak good words for me, and ask the emperor to reduce part of our country's tribute."

Zuo Shilang thought in his heart: He regretted co-authoring and even paying tribute. I really don't know what to say.

Of course, he still pondered over and over again on his face, and then solemnly accepted the other party's gems and beauties, expressing that he would plead with the emperor as appropriate.

The ceremony photo was received, the complaint was filed, and Zuo Shilang turned around and reported to Xin Hongcheng.

Xin Hongcheng relayed it to the emperor, and the emperor also sneered: "Then there is no need for him to offer it, I will send someone to get it myself!"

Such a greedy person, who dares to ask the princess to reduce the tribute today, will be really powerful in the future, I am afraid that he will dare to look at the land here and bite off a piece of meat from the Central Plains.

Xin Hongcheng nodded: "However, with such thoughts in mind, he treated Princess Yucheng extremely courteously—it doesn't cost much money to treat Princess Yucheng courteously anyway, and he can use this to please my court and save some tribute so that he has the financial resources to continue. Suppressing the Xiyi Kingdom is the right thing to do."

The emperor quickly said: "Let's cut through the mess quickly, it's easier to do it when he can't suppress the civil strife between the two countries."

Thinking of Zhen Ran, Xin Hongcheng couldn't help but sigh: "Father, don't worry, the one who wants to do it most is Princess Yucheng himself."

The father and son were talking when Qin Wu came back, still holding the scroll of imperial edict in his hand.

The emperor's face was pulled down: "You are very courageous in your job now, and the imperial decree was not issued, but you took it back!"

Qin Wu quickly knelt down with a "plop".

"Your Majesty, as soon as this servant arrived at the gate of Ningguo Mansion, I heard that Master Jing of Ningguo Mansion suddenly died suddenly. The servant did not dare to announce the decree, and came back to the palace without even showing his face. I asked the emperor to judge the purpose of severely punishing Ningguo Mansion. Whether it will be announced as usual."

Both the emperor and Xin Hongcheng were surprised: such a coincidence, Jia Jing died today?
