The Rebirth of the Red Chamber as Lian

Since Jia Amnesty took over the position of Minister of Internal Affairs, apart from going to court every day, he has to stay in the palace every other day.When the old emperor remembered it occasionally, he would call him into the palace specifically to relieve his fatigue and amuse him.This day, Jia She was at home with Xiu Mu. He had just had a delicious breakfast and was planning to enjoy the ancient fan that the emperor gave him yesterday, when he was caught by the intruding father-in-law, picked it up and went out Walk.

After the forced palace incident, the old emperor activated Mr. Zhou again, ordered him to lead the imperial army, and entrusted him with the important task of guarding the imperial city.The old man was very reluctant. He had been at home for more than ten years, and his old arms and legs would feel wrong when he got busy.But the old man was worried about his son-in-law and grandson, and he was afraid that if he didn't keep an eye on them, the two would cause some disaster, so he had to bite the bullet and deal with it.

As the Chinese New Year is approaching, there is no major event in today's court, and the court has been dispersed early.Mr. Zhou was sitting in the court room chatting with several elders, and the atmosphere was quite relaxed.But all of a sudden, the situation changed, and Li Qing, the chief executive of Qianqing Palace, ran in like burning his ass, panting heavily, and said, "Quick, the emperor has issued a summons, and the adults should hurry to Dongnuan Pavilion. The report is urgent within eight hundred miles." , the emperor has turned the table."

The elders were startled, and hurriedly straightened their robes and asked: "Director Li, what happened?" At this time of year, could it be that the Tartars from outside the pass came to attack Caogu again?Or is there new progress in the recent coercion case?This time, even among the few cabinet ministers, two of them have fallen into it.Are there still people who can't see the situation clearly and want to go all the way to the dark?

Li Qing took a breather, hesitated to speak, and finally said in a low voice: "An urgent report from Ping'an Prefecture, the eldest prince rebelled five days ago, and more than half of the prefectures and counties in Ping'an Prefecture have fallen. The emperor vomited blood when he saw the urgent report. Our family came to invite the adults, and at the same time ordered people to open the coffin for an autopsy. I guess..." Li Qing didn't continue, and the elders already understood.The eldest prince actually faked his death, and he had already left Beijing.

In fact, there is nothing that can't be said about this matter. He didn't say that the emperor asked them to discuss this matter.Now that he has given some background in advance, he can also show some friendship in front of these important ministers.Moreover, he also has something to ask for.The emperor was so angry that he vomited blood, he overturned the table and threw the bench, and Tai Yi was not allowed to approach.As a slave, he couldn't be persuaded, so he could only seek foreign aid.

"Old Hou Ye, please take a step slowly, our family still has something to discuss with you." After explaining the antecedents, Li Qing glanced around, grabbed the last old man Zhou, and begged: "Rong The prince is not on duty today, but the emperor is very angry and he refuses to let the imperial doctor see it, our family is really worried. Please go and invite the prince into the palace, the emperor can often listen to what the prince says."

"That's right, Mr. Zhou, the emperor's body is important. None of us can talk as well as your son-in-law." Several elders listened to them, and then expressed their agreement and urged in unison.It seems that the emperor is very angry now, they are completely hitting the tip of the gun.The king of Zhongrong County has more face in front of the emperor recently, so it is very appropriate to pull him to charge forward.

"This..." The old man was a little hesitant, he understood what these old boys meant, and was afraid of being angered by the emperor, so he wanted to find his son-in-law to top the vat.He was naturally unwilling, but Li Qing begged here, and it was for the sake of the emperor's body, so he couldn't refuse it outright.Recently the emperor is really tolerant towards Jia Amnesty, but the king's heart is unpredictable, who knows if he will suddenly change his face.

However, the old man himself was a little uneasy.It has only been a month or so since the coercion incident, and the eldest prince made another rebellion by defrauding a corpse.The emperor's mood... can be imagined.Thinking of this, Mr. Zhou couldn't help but feel that it would be safer with his son-in-law standing in front of him.Moreover, it is also reasonable for the son-in-law to do his job when the father-in-law has something to do.

Thus, there was a scene in the study of the great prince She She.He was thrown onto the horse by the father-in-law in a daze, and was brought into the palace against the biting cold wind with a runny nose.Still dizzy, Li Qing shouted at the Nuan Pavilion as if he had seen a savior, "Report to the emperor, Jia Amnesty, the king of Zhongrong County, begs to see you." Not only him, but also the elders kneeling in the Nuan Pavilion relieved.

Hearing the voice of the old emperor telling him to "roll in", the great prince She almost cried, what is this all about!He obviously stayed in the mansion very peacefully, why did these people not forget to harm him.Why did he have to face the emperor's wrath for something that obviously had nothing to do with him?Obviously he and the old man are relatives, so why do you want to help the tyrant and push him into the fire pit like this? ! !

Feeling the deep resentment from his son-in-law, the old man couldn't help stroking his beard in embarrassment, staring and saying: "Look at what I'm doing, the emperor told you, why don't you hurry in." But the old man still feels guilty for harming his son-in-law like this.But who asked his son-in-law to please the emperor? This is called hard work for the capable.Yes, it is like that!

The atmosphere in Dongnuange was very gloomy, the old emperor sat on the kang with a gloomy face and said nothing, and the people in front of him had already been ruined by him.Several elders knelt not far from him, and there were many messy folds lying on the ground in front of them.The little eunuchs on duty all slipped to their knees, shaking their little shoulders, looking like they were about to cry.It seems that the emperor is furious.

Seeing Jia Amnesty coming in, the old emperor glanced over with sharp eyes.With just one glance, His Excellency She forgot that there was such a thing as knees, and knelt down carelessly.He kowtowed his head reflexively, trying to figure out what to say.Do you want to say, I heard that your eldest son is not dead, and I came to congratulate you; or did I know that you were hurt by your son, so I came to comfort you?That being said, he will definitely be killed! ?

Fortunately, the old emperor didn't intend to listen to what he said, instead he waved his hand to make others retreat.Jia Amnesty swore that he heard the voices of the elders exhaling secretly.Before he looked up, the old guys with an average age of fifty and above had already disappeared.As the door of the Nuan Pavilion was closed by the young eunuch who left last, Prince Xi burst into tears.With such no loyalty, can we still be ministers of the same dynasty with mutual help?

Jia Amnesty didn't dare to move, for fear of offending the old emperor.Although the emperor will not kill him, but there are many ways to toss people, he can't handle it.The old emperor didn't speak, and the Nuan Pavilion became terribly quiet all of a sudden.However, some physiological reactions cannot be controlled by humans, such as this: from the cold outdoors, to the warm pavilion with burning ground dragons and kangs, between hot and cold, a sneeze... came out.

The old emperor was immediately laughed out of anger, and he snorted coldly, "Jia She, you just thought I wasn't angry enough, and you came here to set fire to me, right? Tell me, why did I meet you like this?" I can't stop being angry with you. Okay, what are you doing kneeling stupidly, come and sit. Hurry up and pack yourself up, are you still waiting for me to serve you?"

Laughed?Just smile, Jia She secretly heaved a sigh of relief, but at the same time couldn't help but roll his eyes.If he had known that a sneeze would have this effect, he would have endured it just now, and he wouldn't have to kneel and hurt his knees if he sneezed early.He got up in a hurry, obediently took the position assigned by the old emperor, and Jia Amnesty peeked at him.The old emperor's complexion was very bad, there was even a little blood on the corner of his lips, he opened his mouth to persuade.

"Don't worry, it's just a mouthful of blood, I won't die yet." The old emperor waved his hand to stop him.Relaxing his tense body, he leaned on the pillow and said sadly: "The ancients said that children are debt collectors. I know that I am not a good father, and I have already prepared for repaying debts and defaulting on debts. But when things are imminent, I will know It’s empty to think about everything, but it hurts only when you encounter it.”

"You already know about the eldest prince, right? He didn't die. Wu Zuo and the imperial physician went for an autopsy, and the dead one was a double. There were traces of knife movements on his face, which couldn't be seen unless he looked carefully. The marks on his body were also made later. Those who go up, look without knowing the details, and no one can see the clues. I should have known earlier, the boss is not simple, how could he not guard against the prince, and died so easily."

The old emperor didn't seem to intend to listen to Jia She's words. He looked at the snow scene outside the window and said to himself, "You know, I don't blame them for rebelling. The throne is supreme and I am the only one. Who doesn't want it? What's more, They are the princes who are qualified to inherit. If you have the ability to overthrow Lao Tzu, that is the son's ability, even if I meet the ancestors, I will have something to say."

"Prince, his heart is too cruel, but he doesn't have enough ability to match it. He wants to wipe out his brothers, but he doesn't want to think about how he will end up if he succeeds? If he has the ability like Li Shimin, he is a capable man." Brave and foolish. Hmph, do you really think the clan can watch him kill brothers and secure the throne? And the boss, who thought he had a brain, is actually an idiot."

"I know what his plan is. The prince succeeded in forcing the palace that day, and he could immediately raise the banner of Jing Nan, and take down the prince firmly under the banner of revenge for me and my younger brothers. If the prince is unsuccessful, He only needs to expose the double's identity, and he can blame the prince. But after 30 years, he still hasn't figured out how cruel the prince is. Prince, he didn't intend to let him live at all."

"So, when the substitute died in the Qianqing Palace, he himself could not get off the tiger. Show up, lest I will hold grudges and kill him secretly; don't show up, he is not willing to be a dead person from now on. In the end, there will be the Ping'an State" A ridiculous rebellion. Jia She, I will not kill the crown prince, he is my son. But I do not want to let the eldest prince go, do you know why?"

Jia Amnesty knew that the emperor didn't want to hear his answer, so he quietly poured hot tea for him.Sure enough, the old emperor continued: "You are also a person with a son, but you must not know what it feels like to have your son stabbed to death in front of you. I know that my pain is not the pain of heart disease, but the pain of heart. Before today, whenever I thought of my son, my heart still ached."

He sat up straight suddenly, his face flushed red and his eyes were aggressive, and he roared angrily, "But my fucking pain is all for nothing! That bastard is clearly alive and well, and he didn't even think about whether his father would be sad or not. It will be sad. One month, one month, there will be no leaks..." The old emperor was really angry, and even "I" came out.The first prince cheated on the corpse, which made him have a strong sense of embarrassment, as if he had been tricked by his son.

It can be seen how failed you are as a father!Of course, Jia She only dared to think about these words in his heart, but his face was already full of tears, and he looked at the old emperor with sorrow and pity.She vowed to convey her empathy to the hurt emperor.After making such a big fuss for a long time, I just feel ashamed that I have been scolded. Are you ashamed?

What else should he do, isn't it just a dustpan?The elders outside, my father-in-law, and that old boy Li Qing, you can't even do this little thing, so why don't you have the nerve to receive that salary? !Of course, His Excellency She doesn't know that the trash can can actually be a kind of lofty function, which is beyond the capabilities of ordinary people.

The old emperor vented the grievance in his heart, and felt that Jia She's crying was really funny, so he was amused again.Kicked him, raised his voice to call for people to come in to clean up the venue, and called the elders in to discuss matters. The rebellion in Ping'an Prefecture will always send people to put down, right?

The king of Zhongrong County is really not an ordinary person!I saw that it didn't take long for him to go in, and he was able to turn the emperor's anger into joy, it's really amazing!The elders in the pavilion are picking on Mr. Zhou one after another. You are so picky about your son-in-law. You really can't accept it.Mr. Zhou was smug on the surface, but he was also puzzled in his heart.I don't know what the stupid son-in-law said to the emperor, why is it so immediate?

They didn't know that His Excellency She hadn't even said a single word since he entered the Nuan Pavilion, and remained silent the whole time.The only sound that came out was that loud... sneeze.
