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

Jia Wan didn't wake up until the sun was up, and found that Sun Tzu's Art of War had almost been copied. Zhao Yi probably didn't leave until early in the morning.

I can't help but feel a little complicated.

When he was in the south of the Yangtze River, Lin Ruhai loved him like a son, and he didn't have to worry about anything, except for some troubles, and his master took care of him, and Daiyu treated him like a younger brother, asking about his health, food, clothing, housing and transportation, so he didn't have to worry about it... ...Since coming to the capital, there are no people who worry about him, but he is always asked to worry about him.

Saying you're not tired would be a lie.

Zhao Yi did these things for him, he can eat what he has for supper, and he can sleep until dawn without eating, and it is quite comfortable to have someone copy the book for him. I don't feel that the words are a burden... It seems dispensable, but the heart that treats him is warm and tight.

I can't help but think of Zhao Yi, who was still a young man with broken legs and a hoarse voice when he was on the boat. He was tortured by pain every day, but he was not immersed in resentment. Water, brushing hair, wiping off a grain of rice at the corner of the mouth, will be satisfied and happy for a long time.

Jia Wan only thought it was Zhao Yi's self-esteem, and wanted to prove his worth, to prove that he was not a useless person, so he was so happy, and even deliberately ordered him to see him as a teenager with an expression of "you can't do without me" , "Reluctantly" responded, secretly laughing.

Today's Zhao Yi is no longer the miserable young man on the boat, but his every move vaguely bears the shadow of the past...

The days in confinement were a bit boring, and Li Jia didn't go out much to play on weekdays, but he felt uncomfortable when he couldn't go out... His room was not narrow, but it was not spacious enough to practice guns and sticks. After punching twice, I went to sleep again, and when I opened my eyes, it was time for lunch.

People like to think wildly when they are free.

I don't know where Wang Ziteng took others. The emperor sent someone to assassinate Wang Ziteng. I'm afraid it had already reached the ears of the Supreme Emperor. They meet each other in battle, but on the surface they still look like a loving father and a filial son.

In fact, there is a far simpler and once-and-for-all way to calm this matter than killing Wang Ziteng—assassinating the Supreme Emperor.

But just thinking about it, Emperor Qian would not do the matter of killing his father, and Jia Wan would not do it for him.

If he really dared to kill the Supreme Emperor, Emperor Qian would not be the first to tolerate him. He himself didn't care, he was skilled in martial arts and could go anywhere, but behind him was Lin Ruhai, Daiyu, Xichun, and Rongning Second Mansion... …

My thoughts diverged, and I couldn't help but think again, I don't know if Zhao Yi's calculation has succeeded, and he used his own life to threaten the emperor to take it back, there must be a reason, how should Zhao Yi explain it?

If Wang Ziteng didn't die, would he really be able to fight?

Half a day later, Wang Ziteng's soldiers are probably not far from Beijing, right?

Jia Wan sighed: Waiting for news is really exhausting.

Pick up the pen and continue to copy the book. Although there are not a few pages left, it takes time to finish it, and at the end I have to write an "experience"!

"Master," Yuzhan entered the door in a panic, "There is an imperial decree coming!"

Jia Wan put down the book: "Here he comes, why panic?"

Yuzhan stomped anxiously: "It's not the emperor's imperial decree, it's the Supreme Emperor's imperial edict!"

Yuzhan had a sad face. Although she was in the back house and didn't know about the dispute between the Supreme Emperor and Emperor Qian, she knew very well that her master had severely offended the Supreme Emperor and Prince Zhongshun. The Supreme Emperor retired and Prince Zhongshun was demoted. Inseparable from the relationship.It was good to have the emperor protecting her before, but now the emperor also...

Jia Wan was also very surprised: he waited for the news of Emperor Qian, but Emperor Qian's people did not come, but the Emperor's people came instead.

"Tell Yu Yan to find Zhou Shizi."

Taishanghuang and Qiandi are already popular with bayonets, so it is not a good thing to send people here at this moment.He originally thought that he had no power in his hands, only had brute force, and the emperor would not put his eyes on him, but now that he thought about it, he was too self-righteous.

Yuzhan quickly agreed and walked out quickly.

Jia Wan gave another order: "Let Brother Rong set up an incense table in the front hall of the main courtyard and prepare to receive the order. I will be there later."

"It's already being arranged."

Jia Wan nodded, changed his official uniform, and turned to the main hall.

The Taishanghuang's people had a big ostentation, three eunuchs passing orders, 24 heavily armed guards, and if there were not many servants holding rewards, it looked like he was about to raid his house.

The father-in-law who came to declare the decree was called Xuan Hai, he was the most proud person around the Supreme Emperor, and he knew Jia Wan, after all, they often came and went in and out of the palace, but they didn't have any friendship.

Xuan Hai is old, but he is well maintained. The crow's feet around his eyes are a little dense. He smiles quite amiably, and his voice is not sharp and harsh, but soft and soothing. It seems that he does not look like a powerful father-in-law in the palace, but more like a kind A kind old man, Xuan Hai looked at the furnishings in the hall with his hands behind his back, and sighed: "Speaking of it, it is fate, this Ningguo Mansion, when our family was young, we visited the former emperor once, and at that time the two old men The Duke is still here, he is really a golden hall and a jade horse, with servants like a cloud, rich and noble...the Jia family and the two princes, how prominent, but now they are deserted."

Jia Wan replied casually: "It's a pity that those of us who are descendants are unworthy, only know to ruin the family business, and now we are not as good as the previous generation... Please sit down, father-in-law."

Xuan Hai shook his head and laughed, "Why did you say that, my lord? My lord is only sixteen years old, he is already the number one master in the court, he is in the third rank, and he is trusted by the emperor... To say something disrespectful, it is the two princes Lord, it is far behind. With the ability of adults, if you can judge the situation, you will be able to rise to the top, restore the glory of the past, and even go a step further!"

Xuan Hai patted Jia Wan on the shoulder, and took him to a seat with him. He said the sentence "considering the situation and assessing the situation" very gently.

Jia joked: One step further than the Duke of the state, is it possible to be crowned king again?

Jia Rong personally brought the teacup over, before it was delivered to Xuan Hai, Jia Wan stretched out his hand to pick it up, and said casually: "Elder-in-law is too flattering on the boy, the boy is young and reckless, he only has a bit of brute force, how can he use it much? The emperor just sees that I am young and brings me by my side to relieve boredom."

Without getting up, he pushed the teacup along the table: "This is from Jiangnan a few days ago. It's not a good tea. It's better than fresh... Please, please."

"Fresh is good, fresh is good," Xuan Hai didn't think he was contemptuous, and said with a smile: "Our family likes fresh. These foods are used, no better than others, and they can't be saved. Once time passes, no matter how good they are Oh no."

Xuan Hai didn't mention the announcement of the decree for a long time, Jia Wan was also happy to spend time with him.

After a while, Xichun packed up and came over. She had lived in the palace for several years, and she was more comfortable with these things than Jia Wan. With her around, Jia Wan didn't even have to deal with people.

After drinking two cups of tea, someone reported outside: "The old lady, the eldest master, the second master, the two wives at the West Mansion, and the second master Lian, the second grandma Lian, and the second master Bao are here!"

Before Jia Wan could speak, Xuan Hai said with a smile: "Master Jia, don't blame me, our family also has an imperial decree from the Supreme Emperor to the Rongguo Mansion, thinking that we are all a family anyway, so our family decided to invite them together. It also saves an extra trip."

Jia joked: "It's easy to say." He really hadn't heard of it, and the imperial decree still called people to other people's homes to pick it up.

Get up together with Yingchun, and meet Jia Mu and others.

The population of Rongguo Mansion is much more prosperous than that of Ningguo Mansion. As soon as they came, the somewhat deserted hall was immediately bustling to the point of being crowded.

Xuan Hai then got up and said with a smile: "Madam, I haven't seen you for many years, but do you still remember our family?"

The kind attitude made the anxious mother Jia and the others breathe a sigh of relief.

Jia Wan glanced at Jia Amnesty in surprise: This man was supposed to be locked up in prison, but Jia Lian asked him to try to rescue him two days ago, but he shirked it with excuses, but now he appears here alive and well, even in high spirits, with a more serious look on his face. Everyone is calm.

Xuan Hai and Jia's mother exchanged a few words, then they looked serious: "Since everyone is here, let's announce the decree!"

So the decree was proclaimed.

"Following the heavens, the Supreme Emperor said..."

Fortunately, Jia Wan studied under famous masters. Although he can't write gorgeous articles, he has a good comprehension ability, so he can understand the general meaning of these complicated parallel prose. In view of the current withering of the two prefectures, special favors are given, gold, silver and jade wares come second, the key is that Duke Rong's title can be inherited for another generation, and Baoyu also has an additional title-the fourth-rank knight guard.

After reading the imperial decree, Mother Jia and the others were so excited that they couldn't contain their excitement: Rongguo Mansion's title will be inherited by one generation, and Rongguo Mansion will be richer for decades!What moved Jia's mother even more was that Baoyu finally got him!

In the past, when she thought of the child she raised in her hands like pearls and treasures, she would only be able to move out of Rongguo Mansion with a few taels of silver in the future, and she would feel distressed. No matter how many private houses are left for him, he can't be coaxed away and end up in poverty—now, he is finally relieved.

Really happy.

The titles of Daqian, dukes and uncles are super ranks, and viscounts are first ranks. A false rank with four ranks of cavaliers is really nothing, but compared to being a commoner, it is a world of difference.

Jia Zheng also thought of this episode and was very excited: Jia Zhu in the past, Baoyu and Jia Huan today, why did he force them to study to death?Isn't it because I don't have a title to inherit, if I don't know how to study, how can I have a future in the future?

His Majesty the Supreme Emperor, it really is the great grace of the emperor!

Thinking back at the beginning, he was only able to enter the court as an official because of the grace of the emperor, and now Baoyu has received this special favor...

"My wife...received the decree..." Jia's mother was already in tears: "Thank you!"

Xuan Hai closed the imperial decree, Mother Jia took two steps on her knees, raised her hands to receive it, but Xuan Hai did not intend to give it, and put the imperial decree on the tray held by the little eunuch beside her sideways, with a friendly smile: "Old lady, don't be in a hurry, Don't worry...here's another copy, after our family finishes reading it together, it won't be too late to pick it up."

Mother Jia was obviously stunned for a moment, and knelt down on the ground again.

The second edict was naturally for Jia Wan, or Ningguo Mansion.

It is still a reward, and the reason is not only the merits of Xianning Guogong, but also his contribution to saving him.

Yesterday he failed to catch the assassin, he was kicked by Emperor Qian and scolded as a waste, but today the emperor's reward came, the reward was that he repelled the assassin and rescued him - the same thing, only one reward A penalty makes people have to think more.

Not to mention a series of rewards, Jia Wan was promoted to the third class in the title, Xichun was awarded the title of Township Lord, and the finale was the finale: Jia Wan was appointed as the deputy commander of the guards and led the guards of the outer class.

Everyone gasped: Official positions are different from titles. A three-year-old child can become a noble. There are countless high-ranking nobles in the capital, not to mention others, but how many officials are there in the third rank?It is rare in the world for Jia Wan to be an official of the third rank at the tender age of 16. If it were not for the particularity of Ouchi’s bodyguards, plus his strong martial arts, the court would have turned upside down a long time ago, and now the Supreme Emperor wants to promote him to the second rank. Deputy Commander of the Guards!

How old is he?

Xuan Hai closed the imperial decree, handed it over, and said with a smile: "Master Jia, accept the decree quickly!"

Jia Wan didn't speak.

Xuan Hai waited for a while, seeing that he still didn't respond, he said again: "Lord Jia?"

Jia Amnesty, who was kneeling beside Jia Wan, only thought that he was happy and foolish, and urged in a low voice: "Brother Wan, why are you so stunned? Hurry up and accept the order!"

Jia Wan looked back, and saw dozens of pairs of eyes, large and small, looking at him eagerly behind him. It was Jia Zheng, who was always reserved, with expectations in his eyes.What an honor for a 16-year-old second-rank official with a family of four nobles?Their Jia's family has returned to the former bustling city and the infinite scenery, right in front of them, right now!

Jia Wan sighed, and said: "I also ask my father-in-law to forward it to His Majesty the Supreme Emperor. The minister, Jia Wan, knows that he is young and reckless, ignorant and inexperienced, so he really can't take on this important task. Please also ask His Majesty the Supreme Emperor to take it back."

As soon as the words came out, Jia's family and others were stunned. After a while, Jia She lowered his voice and shouted: "Jia Wan! You are crazy!"

Xuan Hai smiled and said: "Lord Jia is too modest. The so-called ambition is not based on age. Lord Jia is brave and resourceful. He has made great contributions to Dagan several times. The Supreme Emperor is watching it. Lord Jia just accepts it." that is."

Jia Wan said calmly: "Long'en, the Supreme Emperor, the lower officials are terrified, but the position of deputy commander, I really dare not accept... If the virtue is not worthy, there will be disasters. Please take back this imperial decree!"

Xuan Hai's smile froze, his voice faded, and he said, "Lord Jia, is this virtue worthy..."

He clasped his fists and cupped his hands in a certain direction, and said, "It's not up to you and me to decide, Mr. Jia's words, do you think His Majesty doesn't know people well?"

At the end of the voice, it finally took on the sharpness unique to the palace people, the tone was serious, and the threat was beyond words.

Jia Zheng and the others were terrified when they heard that, seeing Jia Wan still wanted to speak, they hurriedly persuaded in a low voice: "If Yizhi dare not accept this high position, he might as well accept the imperial decree first, and then it is not too late to ask the Supreme Emperor to resign."

Jia She also said: "It is for this reason that the so-called thunder, rain and dew are all the favor of the king. No matter what, we should first accept the order before talking about it. Otherwise, wouldn't it be disrespectful to His Majesty?"

Jia Lian and the others also opened their mouths, and Jia Rong's mouth moved. After all, because of Jia Wan's prestige, he didn't dare to join in. He just looked at Jia Wan eagerly, and begged his little uncle not to be impulsive and ruin the family. disaster.

Jia Mu sighed, "Brother Wan, you..."

Before he finished speaking, Jia Wan got up and stood up. Mother Jia and others were shocked. Jia She, who was closest to Jia Wan, shouted: "What are you crazy about? Why don't you kneel down!"

Jia Wan acted as if he had never heard of it, patted the dust on his clothes, and said in a casual tone, "Why must my father-in-law force me to speak clearly?"

Xuan Hai sneered: "Forgive me for not being able to understand Mr. Jia's words."

"Don't understand?" Jia joked and said, "Okay, then I'll make it clear: there are no two suns in the sky, and there are no two kings in the country..."

Before he finished speaking, Xuan Hai yelled and interrupted: "Presumptuous!"

Jia Zheng and the others were frightened out of their wits, cold sweat broke out on Jia Zheng's face, almost pleading: "Yizhi! Yizhi!"

Xuan Hai's eyes turned cold completely, the old man who was looking at him very kindly just now was instantly filled with gloomy coldness, looking at him coldly at Jia Wan.

Jia Wan said indifferently: "His Majesty the Supreme Emperor is the emperor's biological father, and his status is supreme. His old man's will and subordinate officials dare not disobey, but he is not in his position and does not plan his own affairs. Only the emperor has the right to appoint second-rank officials. Please also send it to His Majesty the Supreme Emperor, if the old man really values ​​this official, why not tell His Majesty to let His Majesty make an order, and this official will naturally accept it with great gratitude."

There seemed to be a cold flame burning in Xuan Hai's eyes, and he squeezed out each word from between his teeth: "Jia Yizhi! You are bold!"

Jia Wan said with his hands behind his back: "As a senior official and a subject of His Majesty, you have to say something, whether you have the guts or not."

The Taishang Emperor has now completely turned against Emperor Qian, and even appointed officials directly over Emperor Qian. If he really accepts it, not to mention how Emperor Qian will think of him, with Jia Wan at the beginning, there will naturally be Zhang Wan, Li Wan, Chen Wan... Chaos is just around the corner.

"Okay, okay..." Xuan Hai looked at the people in Jia's mansion, and said coldly, "Mrs. Jia, what do you say? Are you going to accept the order from Rongguo Mansion, or not?"

"Your wife," Jiamu said tremblingly, "I'm a lady..."

Xuan Hai didn't wait for her to finish, and turned to Jia She: "Master Jia?"

Although Jia Zheng has the highest official position in the Rongguo Mansion, the title belongs to Jia She. On the surface, it is Jia She not Jia Zheng who is in charge of the Rongguo Mansion.

"Minister..." Jia She had just said a word, when Jia's mother said "Ouch", she fell down softly on his forehead, hurriedly called "Mother", and went to help him.

"The old lady fainted, go find the imperial doctor!"

"Carry the old lady into the room first..."

All of a sudden, those who carried people were carrying people, and those who were looking for imperial physicians were in a noisy mess.

A high-pitched, sharp and intentionally elongated voice sounded abruptly, immediately suppressing everyone's voices: "First-class imperial guard Jia Wan accepts the order!"

Everyone who had already got up was stunned, so they had to put Jia Mu on the ground and knelt down again.

Xuan Hai unfolded the third imperial decree: "...the Supreme Emperor's edict said: The third-rank bodyguard Jia Wan is disrespectful to the superior, and the staff is responsible for thirty, hereby!"

This time Jia Wan played extremely neatly: "Minister Jia Wan, accept the order and thank you."

As expected.

He was originally the chicken that the Supreme Emperor killed chickens to scare the monkeys. If he accepts the Supreme Emperor's decree, there will be chaos in the court and the loss of the Sacred Heart. Prepare ahead of time.

Thirty sticks is all, he can afford it.

When he looked up, he saw the killing intent in Xuan Hai's eyes and the sneer on his lips.

Xuan Hai didn't seem to want to say a word, he threw the imperial decree on the ground in front of Jia Wan, passed him straight out of the front hall, and a voice came from outside the hall: "This place is nice, spacious! This is it! Go to some people, Call all the people in this mansion... to observe the punishment."
