[Red Mansion] Sir, I'm a rough man

In the dead of night, although Jia Wan has always disliked girls being on duty at night, but now that he is "seriously injured and dying", it is up to him whether he wants to -- Yuping went to rest first, Yuzhan was guarding the bedside, and more than a dozen guards outside guarded the doors and windows It's very tight, put [-]% of your energy in the house, it's not like guarding against thieves, it's like watching thieves.

Suddenly there was a "dang" sound, like a stone knocking on the door frame, the sound was not loud, but it was very clear in the silent night. The guard guarding the door was startled and shouted: "Who!"

They all looked around on guard.

But a voice came from inside the door, calm and calm: "Come in a person."

The foreman of the guard heard who the voice was, looked at each other for a while, pushed the door in, and saw the young man who was seriously injured and dying in the daytime, and was diagnosed by the imperial doctor as "maybe there is a chance of life", sitting in a cloak. Drinking tea under the lamp, dressed in black clothes and black boots, I was stunned: "Master Jia, you..."

For a moment, he didn't know where to start: Didn't you get hit by the Huagumian palm and lay dying on the bed?What do you want to dress like this at night?What do you want me to come in for?

Jia Wan said, "I'm going out for a while." His tone was natural, as if he was saying that the weather is really nice today.

The ominous premonition came true, and the foreman sweated on his forehead: "Master Jia, you are seriously injured, it is better not to go out, if there is anything, it is better to ask the humble staff to do it..."

"You can't do it."

The foreman almost begged: "But the prince ordered..."

"His Royal Highness Qian Wang ordered you, not me," Jia Wan said, "And I didn't mean to ask for your consent, but to inform you politely."

He finished drinking the tea in his hand, put down the cup, got up and said, "I'm leaving."

The foreman subconsciously blocked the door.

Jia Wan raised his eyebrows: "You want to stop me?"

The foreman folded his fists and bent over, with a wry smile: "The responsibility of the humble job is, and please forgive me, my lord."

"Can you stop it?"

"If you can't stop it, you have to stop it."

Jia Wan folded his arms, tilted his head and looked at him like a ruffian, and said, "I have injuries."

The foreman was stunned: "The humble job knows."

Jia Wan said again: "I'm going out to fight."

"This, the humble official also knows."

The foreman was powerless to complain: So you also know that you are injured?Why go out and fight if you are injured? !

"You said, if I beat you up first and caused my injuries to get worse, so that I lost the fight outside, who would be to blame?"

The foreman was a little dazed, staring blankly at Jia Wan, his mind was in a mess: So the new deputy commander of the second-rank bodyguard, is he playing a rogue with him?My lord, although you are young, you are the second rank, the second rank!Strictly speaking, they are still their immediate bosses, so can they be a little more moral?

While complaining frantically, he saw his unscrupulous boss stretch out two fingers, and then curled up one by one: "Two options, one, I'll knock you out before going out, two, you open the door and let me out .Choose!”

The foreman was dripping with cold sweat, he wasn't afraid to fight people, that's what people in the army do, what kind of soldier do you want to be if you're afraid of death or injury?But if they are all knocked out, who will deliver the letter to the prince?If Jia Wan's injury really got worse because of this, leading to more serious consequences, who can bear it?

But if he really opened the door and let him go, who would be guilty of the prince's prosecution?

When he was in a dilemma, he suddenly had a flash of inspiration and said: "My lord, I remember that the emperor is still restraining your feet. It's not good for you to openly disobey the holy order like this?"

"Isn't that right?" Jia Wan nodded in agreement, and said, "So after I leave, I still have to trouble you to pretend that I'm lying here recuperating from my injuries... I'm sorry."

The head waiter is as big as a bucket, sir, are you too relieved of us, bullying the king is a capital offense!Make the last effort: "Why don't you wait here for a moment, my lord, and let me report back to the lord. When the lord approves, you can go out again, okay?"

The immediate boss replied straightforwardly: "Not good."

"..."

The foreman said feebly: "My lord asked you to take good care of your wounds. It was a good intention. Why do you have to fight against my lord?"

Jia Wan pulled up his hood, took out a handkerchief and tied it on his face, and said, "Stop talking, I'm in a hurry. I'll count one, two, three, or open the door, or do it, that's it. One, two..."

The foreman opened the door with a bitter face, cupped his fists in salute, and said, "Master Jia, although I don't know what you are going to do, but... please take care."

Jia Wan returned the salute and said, "Don't worry, I'm the one who cherishes my life the most, of course I will take care of myself."

He said again: "His Royal Highness Qian Wang doesn't need to worry, he knows that you can't stop me."

After taking two steps outside, he stopped suddenly, patted his head and said, "I almost forgot, my two maids didn't know I was leaving, remember to persuade me. Also, if you want to find someone to lie on the bed for me Remember, you must lie down for three full days, and don't wake up in the middle... But it shouldn't take me as long as three days to come back."

Yuzhan was stunned by his poke at this moment, and Yuping was in a deep sleep. When they woke up and found that no one was there, they might cry in what way.

The foreman didn't want to talk anymore, so he accepted it by bowing his head. He resigned himself to his fate and watched the "immediate boss" in black disappear into the night without a sound, before he raised his hand to summon a subordinate to report back.

……

In Yong'an Hou Mansion, Zhou Kai lay quietly on the bed, staring at the ceiling with his eyes open, expressionless.

The impact of what happened during the day was too great, and there were many people in the big capital who couldn't sleep like him—the little guard didn't care about many people, and the two imperial edicts were the key.

The Supreme Emperor blatantly seized power, and performed the emperor's affairs in the form of the Supreme Emperor, and his dissatisfaction with the present was clearly revealed. The Emperor Qian, who should have pleaded guilty in fear, not only did not give in, but slapped him back. The eldest son Zhao Yi even killed the Supreme Emperor with his own hands. The celebrity in front of me...

It seems that the Supreme Emperor has suffered a crushing defeat, but this confrontation is not even a warm-up, it is just a signal to start the war, and the final result is really unpredictable.

Although the current sage has been on the throne for several years, and his methods are also good, but in terms of the strength in his hands, he may not be comparable to the Supreme Emperor. One is that the word "filial piety" is pressed on the top of his head, and the other is that the Supreme Emperor, who no longer has to worry about the national economy and people's livelihood, uses all means. In order to coerce his own son, while protecting the old ministers, he kept installing new people, which made Emperor Qian constrained everywhere. Sometimes he had to sacrifice a lot of benefits in exchange for dealing with a corrupt official, which was really not easy.

Now the business has only improved slightly after several years, but many key places are still firmly controlled by the Supreme Emperor... To put it bluntly, it is the Forbidden City where Emperor Qian lived. Emperor Qian found an excuse to abolish most of the Taishanghuang's people in the Forbidden Army. Up to now, the Taishanghuang has the final say.

The Emperor Qian's wings are getting richer, but the Supreme Emperor still refuses to let go. A showdown between the two saints is inevitable. The most ideal situation is that the Supreme Emperor suddenly figured it out, retired and settled down for the elderly, and smoothly completed the alternation of power.It's a pity that the Supreme Emperor is not reconciled, and his henchmen are even more unwilling-if the Supreme Emperor retires, he will have no rights and status, and he should have a lot of honor, but if they retreat, they will follow the Supreme Emperor to fight against Emperor Qian all these years Such behavior, it is the emperor's grace to survive, and it is impossible to keep the glory and wealth.

Emperor Qian has made a big move recently. He got rid of the empress, repaired the Zhang family, demoted Prince Zhongshun, bestowed the death of the second prince, and handed over the capital camp to Zhao Yi. up.

Zhou Kai sighed, the collision of two huge ships will inevitably cause a stormy sea, no matter which one is turned over, it will be bloody and rainy.

He is not worried about his own safety, the Supreme Emperor is his grandfather, the Emperor is his uncle, whoever wins, he is still his little master, but Awan is on the cusp of the crisis.

Suddenly there were two soft sounds outside the window, and Zhou Kai, who was not sleepy, jumped up and opened the window. Before he could say "who is it", he suddenly met a pair of familiar eyes and froze: "Ah!" Play?!"

Not caring to say more, he opened the window to let him in, frowned and said, "You're still hurt, why are you running around in the middle of the night, don't you want to die?"

After checking left and right, he closed the window, sat down by Jia Wan, and pulled his wrist to feel his pulse.

Jia Wan pulled off the kerchief, rolled his eyes, and propped his head lazily: "Pretend as if you know how to do it."

Zhou Kai ignored him, and felt for his pulse seriously - although he doesn't know medical skills, he knows martial arts, nothing else, the strength of the pulse can still be detected.

In the end, his face was very ugly: "You look like this, even if you are not dead, you are almost the same. If you don't take good care of it, what are you doing here? And you are dressed like this!"

Jia Wan withdrew his hand, pulled off his sleeve to cover Su Bai's wrist, and asked, "Where did Wang Ziteng go?"

Zhou Kai was stunned for a moment, then startled, and looked at him with burning eyes.

Jia Wan said, "Don't tell me you don't know."

"I know," Zhou Kai said lightly, "Of course I know, but I won't tell you."

Jia Wan frowned: "Zhou Kai!"

Zhou Kai ignored him and got up to make the bed: "It's late at night, you'll be with me for the rest of the night, and I'll take you back tomorrow morning."

Jia Wan got up to open the window, Zhou Kai rushed over and grabbed him, angrily said: "Isn't it good to be alive, do you have to seek death?"

"That's what Your Majesty meant."

Zhou Kai sneered: "If it's His Majesty's intention, you still need to ask me where Prince Teng is?"

"You think I'm going to lie to you about this?"

Zhou Kai said decisively: "Even if it is really His Majesty's intention, I will beg him to take it back!"

Jia Wan looked at him for a while and said, "Forget it, I'll find someone else."

"Awan!" Zhou Kai stopped him, and said in a sharp voice: "I know you want to share the emperor's worries, but the battlefield is not a school field. Even if you are unrivaled in martial arts and invincible in the world, you will die if you encounter thousands of troops. Awan, you too A body of flesh and blood, a little eunuch can beat you half to death... Awan, I beg you, don't take yourself so seriously?"

Jia Wan said: "A dead end also requires someone to do it, and someone has already done it."

"Then let them go!" Zhou Kai said angrily, "Whoever wants to go, as long as it's not you!"

Jia Wan looked at him for a while: "Why can't it be me?"

Zhou Kai looked at him, the circles of his eyes gradually turned red, and finally he turned his face away and looked out the window.

Jia Wan got up to leave, but Zhou Kai stopped him stubbornly, almost pleading: "Awan, can you listen to me once? What happens on the battlefield is settled on the battlefield. Can we not get involved? We are just the imperial guards. Speaking of which, the official position is not low, and you don't have any real power in your hands, just stay by the emperor's side and make him happy, can these important military and state affairs be left to those adults to do well?"

"Solve it on the battlefield?" Jia Wan said, "What do you tell me? Should I use the Forbidden City to protect the emperor's tens of thousands of forbidden troops, or use the Beijing camp that Wang Ziteng has run for decades?"

If he killed Prince Teng, he might not be able to shake the [-] elite soldiers, but he could help Zhao Yi to stabilize the Beijing camp. The Beijing camp plus the imperial army would not be powerless against [-] elite soldiers.

Seeing that Zhou Kai pursed his lips and remained silent, he said again: "Yes, matters on the battlefield should be resolved on the battlefield, but this should not be a battlefield! I am also a soldier of great power, and I don't want to see those people dying in the Here, they have experienced life and death in the frontier, defending their home and country, they should return to their homeland when they are alive, and they should die at the border when they die, and they are admired by all people, not..."

Instead of becoming a pawn for the superiors to fight for power and profit, sacrificing their lives in vain, leaving a lifetime of stigma, and even implicating their wives and children.

"What's more, if His Majesty has an upright method, why send people to die in batches?"

Zhou Kai was silent for a moment, and said: "You rest here for the night first, and I will send a car to take you away as soon as the city gate opens tomorrow morning."

Jia Wan said, "I can't wait that long."

Zhou Kai glared at him, took a deep breath, and said, "Okay, I will try to send you out of the city."

Jia Wan raised his hand to take a jade cup, knocked it in half, threw one half into Zhou Kai's arms, and said, "I'll wait outside the west gate in half an hour. This is a token...don't send anyone who knows me."

Zhou Kai said angrily: "Can't you stop here and wait here? Why are you tossing around in the middle of the night? You don't know how badly you are injured?"

Jia Wan said, "I still have to meet someone."

Regardless of Zhou Kai's stop, he pulled up the towel and went through the window.

Zhou Kai hammered the wall bitterly, picked up his coat, kicked open the door and went out.

Half an hour later, the gate of the city opened silently, and a blue carriage quietly drove out of the gate like a ghost.

Another hour later, hurried footsteps came from outside the Hall of Qinzheng: "Your Majesty! Your Majesty!"

Manager Liu prostrated himself on the ground and cried loudly: "The empress dowager...is dead!"

Emperor Qian, who was still reading the scriptures, dropped the vermilion pen in his hand and got up in shock: "What did you say?"

General Manager Liu choked with sobs and said: "The other palace sent someone to spread the word that His Majesty the Supreme Emperor was so angry because of Xuan Hai's death that his old illness relapsed, and he woke up after being in a coma for more than half an hour. The palace maid sent ginseng soup, the emperor pitied the empress dowager for her hard work, and invited her to use it together, who knew... who knew that after a bowl of soup, the empress dowager would... be gone! Fortunately, the empress dowager only took one mouthful, which was not life-threatening, but he also vomited blood more than."

Emperor Qian stood there for a while, then sat down slowly, and said, "Send someone to ring the death bell and report the funeral everywhere."

"Yes."

"Arrangements will be made. When the princes and clans arrive, we will drive to the other palace... and ask the people from the Ministry of Punishment and Dali Temple to follow."

Mr. Liu said: "I'm going now, slave...do you want to send someone to Ningguo Mansion to invite Mr. Jia?"

Emperor Qian shook his head and said: "Yi Zhi's injury is not serious, there is no need to alarm him."

Suddenly he smiled self-consciously: "Fifteen or sixteen years old, still a child, if someone else is still acting like a baby in the arms of his parents, making trouble for his husband in school, but he follows me through life and death... Now he is tired by me again, let him rest Let's go!"

"His Majesty!"

Emperor Qian waved his hand, and Director Liu had no choice but to bow his head and retreat. He went outside the hall and waved for his cronies: "Go to the Ningguo Mansion and see how Lord Jia's injuries are. If he can still move, please invite him here. If the emperor blames him, I have to take care of myself... Alas! My heart is always up and down, and I am always not at ease... I was injured at this juncture..."
