Rebirth of the Red Mansions: Jia Lian's way of turning over

The change in identity will change everyone's attitude. The empty Third Prince's Mansion is always full of people recently. If the Third Prince hadn't ordered the door to be closed to thank guests, those who came to give gifts to make a relationship might not be stopped.

King Bei Jing, who once fell in love with the Third Prince's Mansion, now doesn't even have the last place to go, sitting in the mansion all day long with nowhere to go, even though it looks elegant, it is extremely deserted.

Afterwards, it was rare for Beijing to become lively again. The Supreme Emperor was out of energy and no longer cared about the affairs of the court. After moving into the deep palace, he was quiet for two or three months. Soon after the new emperor entered the East Palace, he sat on the dragon chair after the Zen ceremony. .

No matter how unwilling the prince is, no one can resist the Supreme Emperor. All the powerful princes in the past have been wiped out, let alone these little ones.

The transfer of power from the old to the new went smoothly, and the new emperor did not make any major moves afterwards. It seemed that the interests of the officials in the court did not change except for a different person to make a decision.

As a person who controls the chess game, the new emperor knows well that the overlord's body can still be recuperated, and he will be alive and kicking again in a year at most, and this year is a great opportunity for him to cultivate his power.

He is a prince who has no background and no one to support him. If he suddenly rises to the throne, he will definitely not be able to suppress the ministers. It is better to be suppressed by him later than to be suppressed by courtiers.

As long as he is a filial son quietly and listens to the Supreme Emperor as always, his throne will not be abolished, and the Supreme Emperor will not be caught by the Supreme Emperor for some small actions in secret.

If it were not for such considerations, the medicine that the third prince would administer would not make people weak, but directly kill them.

Dai Quan, an important pawn, actually didn't know about it from the beginning to the end. Even if his clothes were changed to a kind of incense, he didn't know much about it, and his life was still open and frank.

Even if the third prince was able to win the favor of the Holy One because of the information he occasionally leaked, it was only due to Jia Lian alone. Dai Quan didn't know about it, and he had never shown his favor to the third prince. Even now, he never thought of going to The new emperor expressed his favor.

The Supreme Emperor who abdicated was not in a good mood. Even if he didn't speak much, he could still feel his irritability. He watched the rights around him being taken away by his son, even if it was because he was powerless, he would complain.

As his personal manager, Dai Quan would not commit such taboos, nor would he dare to curry favor with the new emperor, otherwise the Supreme Emperor would know about the matter before it was accomplished, and no one would be able to save him.

After spending three months in such a peaceful manner, all the female relatives in the palace were finally moved. The former third imperial concubine was the first to be moved into the queen's bedroom. Her identity as the new queen has been clearly revealed.

It's just the daughter of a fourth-rank official, and one day she will be able to ascend to the lower position. I really don't know how many people are envious of her.

Especially the position of the new empress in the heart of the new emperor is really not low. She already has two sons and a daughter under her knees, both of whom are still pregnant. Her position can be said to be extremely stable, and it may be very difficult for others to shake her.

Even Jia Yuanchun, who was deemed valuable by the Rongguo Mansion, could not compete with the new queen.

Because Yuan Chun was only a concubine when she was assigned to the new emperor, and she didn't get the position of side concubine at all, and she couldn't be favored after entering the third prince's mansion. The status of the lord, but it cannot be concluded that she is a concubine.

The Jia Wang family eats vegetarian food and prays to Buddha every day, begging grandpa to tell grandma, hoping that Yuanchun can be named a concubine. If she misses this time, if she wants to be concubine in the future, she will have to rely on childbearing. With Yuanchun's current number of favors, there is no three or four I'm afraid it's impossible.

Compared to Jia Wang's excitement, the Xue family was obviously much more lonely. Without the Seventeenth Prince, what use would the ruined Baochai be?

In the past, Baochai was able to enter Beijing because of the desolation of Yuanchun. Now that Yuanchun is rising again, Wang Ziteng obviously will never continue to support Baochai. Baochai’s Qingyun Road is gone. In the past, she came innocently.

Although Baochai still had a gentle face every day, Aunt Xue always felt that she was much quieter.

Mr. Xue didn't have the time to manage the women in the back house, so he just dragged Xue Pan around to give gifts to build relationships, so that those city defense soldiers and local hooligans would stop patronizing his Xue family's shop. Jin's shop is almost out of business.

Wang Ziteng is in charge of the city defense, Mr. Xue knew that he would suffer this kind of punishment because of their past behavior, he secretly betrayed Wang Ziteng and turned to the Seventeenth Prince, and later he was not very good to Wang Ziteng because of Baochai's matter Shangxin, now that Wang Ziteng is ready to punish them.

Unexpectedly, he entered the palace with the seventeenth prince that night, and came back alive alone. The emperor and the new emperor didn't blame him, and even those who didn't have a prince continued to make things difficult for him. He, Wang Ziteng, even took time out recently. Deal with his Xue family.

Now that the women in the backyard are unable to solve this problem, they can only rely on him as a man to pull other factions. There are many prominent figures in the capital. With the name of his royal merchant Xue family, he can't believe that he can't get backers .

The uncle of the Xue family vowed to leave the mansion, and Aunt Xue, who was also quite silent, wrote a letter with her own hand and sent it to the Wang family. After the letter was delivered, she sat alone in the room and wiped her tears.

When Xue Baochai came to talk to her, he saw her red and swollen eyes, "Mother, what's wrong with you? Is Baochai's unfilial piety making mother worry?"

Aunt Xue shook her head and did not answer, but her tears could not be stopped. Baochai wanted to sit down and comfort her, but she heard sudden hurried footsteps outside.

"Ma'am, something happened to the master." Tong Xi ran in in a panic, his face pale and ugly.

Xue Baochai stared in disbelief, "What did you say? Say it again?"

Tong Xi took a deep breath, "Madam, Miss, the master was hit by a horse on the street, and he was already..."

Xue Baochai burst into tears on the spot, "How... how is it possible, there can be no fast horses galloping in Beijing, no matter what happens, it won't be just..."

Tong Xi cried and shook his head, "I heard that it's a fast horse that travels six hundred miles, and it won't stop when it bumps into someone. The uncle sent someone to send a message back, and I will stay there for the master to collect...the body."

Xue Baochai looked back at Aunt Xue in a daze, "Urgent six hundred miles? It must have come from the border! Mother, why did you say that the fast horse came so well? Why did it bump into my father? How could we not have any trouble?" The law will investigate!"

When Aunt Xue heard Baochai's words, she knew that she had guessed right, and she waved her hand to let Tongxi go down, her tears kept falling, "Baochai, your father offended your second uncle, and your second uncle can't bear it." If he and mother didn't do anything, none of our family would have a better time."

Xue Baochai shook her head in disbelief, "I don't believe it, it's not true, it wasn't your mother who did it."

"Yes, I did it. Baochai, if you want to blame me, you can blame me. If your father wants someone to kill him, you can come to me." Aunt Xue walked to Xue Baochai, "My son, we As a businessman, if there is no one to rely on, the end will be slaughtered like this, and no one will avenge us. Your uncle is very powerful, and we have to rely on him to have a good ending."

Xue Baochai smiled miserably, "Mother, do you think my brother and I are still useful to my uncle? Father is so useless, do you think my brother and I can use it with confidence? Without father, the money in our hands is almost unbearable." Fat meat, even if it's not for others to slaughter, it's just for uncle to get what he wants."

"Instead of doing this, it's better to let father run around more to find connections. Our Xue family has so much money, why can't we find a family? Why do we have to follow uncle."

Aunt Xue sighed deeply, "The capital city is a place of deep water, your uncle is inseparable from the city defense, even if there is no accident today, even if there is no mother and I to help today, there will be no hindrance, mother is just taking her life to make you feel better , son, you can't be overthinking."

"Mother, do you know how my uncle will use my daughter?" Xue Baochai's face was stained with tears, "Sister Yuanchun's position shows her precious status, but what about Baoyu? Doesn't his future uncle care? Baoyu has it now The dementia needs me or Daiyu to treat it, what do you think uncle will do?"

Aunt Xue was slightly taken aback, "That's fine, Baoyu..."

"Mother!" Xue Baochai couldn't take it any longer, "Auntie hates me, she won't make it easier for me, I absolutely don't want to enter Rongguo Mansion."

After finishing speaking, Xue Baochai ran away crying. Without the seventeenth prince, she could still approach the other princes. Her stunning beauty has been spread. There is always someone who is willing to give the position of a concubine. If not, she will Enter the palace to be a palace maid.

Even if it is to be a court lady who waits for others, it is better than being ridiculed all day long and having no future in sight for the rest of her life.

She has already seen what kind of character Baoyu is. With the Seventeenth Prince Zhuyu in front of her, she really can't look down on Baoyu who is raised in the backyard of a boudoir.

Aunt Xue stood in the house and watched her leave, with a bitter taste in her mouth, "Son, if you don't go to Rongguo Mansion, what will your brother do, what does he know?"

When the six-hundred-mile letter that was used by someone was rushed to the palace, it was still dark, and the new emperor was still correcting the memorial in the Hall of Mental Cultivation.

But after the new emperor received the letter, he discovered that there was something else in it.

The two pages of the letter felt a little thick, and there was a not-so-conspicuous mark on it. This mark was agreed upon by the new emperor and Jia Lian.

The superficial letter stated that the border war was tight and food and grass were not enough, but after tearing the front and back of the paper, the content was completely different.

The king of Nan'an had trade relations with the bandits, and most of the salt and iron were smuggled out, and the profits were basically not reported to the court, nor was he cultivating bandits to fight for power and profit in the name of provocation like him.

These more than ten years of trade are enough for a large clan in Outland to develop. Once they grow further, they will attack the border sooner or later.

Seeing this, the new emperor frowned deeply.

This letter was densely packed with reports of many things, those of King Nan'an were just the most important ones.

Jia Lian, who has been to the northwest border for more than half a year, has a general account of the population of the people and military camps in the northwest border, and let people figure out the business and reading ways around.

There is the carriage and horse dealership that he spent a lot of money on, and more and more merchants are coming and going. The salt tea, silk, rouge, gouache, gold and silver jewelry sold privately are becoming more and more blatant. The volume is also increasing.

In just three months, Jia Lian's chariot and horse dealership had obtained hundreds of cattle. After the land plowed by the border soldiers was used up, it could be lent to the people nearby. If there were no natural or man-made disasters in the coming year, there would be a border farm Harvest year.

It has to be said that money is easy to do. Jia Lian’s car and horse travel is not afraid of the tough folk customs at the border, nor the thieves at the border. It is because he has money and connections. He can not only build roads, but also hire Move the soldiers in the army.

The retired soldiers who can work are enough to deal with ordinary merchants. The soldiers who have been trained in the army just need to say hello and ask their generals to arrange a drill, and hundreds of well-equipped soldiers will be able to escort the caravan all the way. , what needs to be spent is nothing more than some employment fees or food.

If Jia Lian, who is good at earning money, doesn't take advantage of this, how can he quickly open up the situation and win over people from all over the world? The military uncles who were three points close to him before are probably half satisfied with him now.

The most reassuring thing for the new emperor was that half of the King of Beijing was in charge of the carriage, and it was definitely not owned by Jia Lian himself. It was more reassuring to have the King of Beijing supervise the whole process.

The new emperor really never thought that Jia Lian's ability is so outstanding, and this development is getting more and more out of his eyes, even if he is now asked to go to the south of the Yangtze River to manage the salt administration, I'm afraid he will not be happy.

He can find ways to make up for the food in the army, and the new emperor has no objection to him. When the matter is settled next year, he will be promoted to an official and his wife will be ordered.

But Jia Lian, who was far away in the northwest, really felt like a fish in water. He was just a small county magistrate, but he could control more than a dozen townships in an entire county, and he could arrange whatever he wanted like an emperor.

Backed by the big men in the army, Beijing has the support of the new emperor and the king of Beijing, he has no shortage of people or money, no one is pressing him, and he is surrounded by cheerful soldiers. Not a lot.

It's really meaningless to chat with a few girls in the backyard.

Before I came to Northwest, I thought that Wang Ziteng should have suffered a lot, but when I came here, I found that this is not the case. Wang Ziteng's status destined him to be treated the same as Xiaobing. He definitely has privileges. .

Wang Ziteng would definitely not accept the treatment of more than a dozen people in the army crammed into a big bunk, or even had to sleep on a wooden plank, not to mention that he would let himself not have enough food to eat?The biggest discomfort in the military camp was starvation. I could get used to the daily drills, but it was really uncomfortable to have nothing to eat.

Today's Wang Xifeng is also more generous, and there will always be some changes when there are more people to see.

People who have been pregnant for three months have become a lot of fools, and they can't help Jia Lian much, but Jia Lian has no objection to this. It's too late for him to love Wang Xifeng, so how can he let her work hard.

When this girl is born next year, he, Jia Lian, should give Wang Xifeng a commandment. It shouldn't be difficult to think about it.
