Small drill wind patrols the red building

At this moment, Jia Jing could no longer care about Jia Zhen who was kneeling on the ground. He knew that if his family did not handle it properly this time, he might face the catastrophe of ransacking his family and exterminating his family. Do you want to be the emperor or plan to rebel?

The cold sweat on Jia Jing's body had already soaked the jacket on his body. He slumped on the chair weakly, but he had to force himself to ask: "Lian'er, go ahead."

After thinking for a while, he said: "This matter is really too big. If it really doesn't work, I plan to expel one of you from the clan. At that time, we can save our Jia family line."

When Jia She heard this, he became anxious: "Second brother, what are you talking about? How did we get to this point? If it doesn't work, let's go to the palace to plead guilty. Since Zhen'er didn't join here, even if she is guilty, let's go to the palace to plead guilty." At that time, even if you lose your official title, you can still survive, and you can slowly figure out a way in the future."

Jia Jing waved his hand and said, "If I didn't know about it, I wouldn't have thought about it too much. I know, the emperor's southern tour this time, I'm afraid it's a ulterior motive."

Jia Lian said at this time: "On the second day of the Lantern Festival, Eunuch Heshun asked Xia Shouzhong to help bring some new gadgets to Brother Zhuo. Xia Shouzhong also told me about the origin of these things."

"These things come from Mei Hanlin, a brother of the Di clan in Guangxi, who lived in Guangxi Xuezheng Mei Liben's house. It is said that Mei Hanlin is very clean and honest as an official. He is also highly educated and proficient in astronomy, calendar calculations, etc."

"Mei Hanlin is very strict with his clansmen. He doesn't allow anyone to use his name to do evil. After he became an official, he would take out most of his salary every month to return to the clan, asking the clan's children to study hard. When he has time, he will go to his family to give lectures in person, and the emperor appreciates him very much."

"Under the strict requirements of his family, the Mei family has passed the examinations for many scholars and candidates. There are also three people who were admitted to Jinshi together, and Mei Liben is one of them."

"In the old year, he worked as a student in Guangxi, but when he arrived in the local area, he began to blackmail the students to pay tribute, so that a few students who were well educated but poor and unable to pay tribute were named as Sun Shan, and they were finally exposed."

"Mei Hanlin heard the news and went directly to the imperial court to plead guilty. He said that he heard the news that his brothers from the same clan blackmailed the candidates and undermined the fairness of the imperial examination. Regardless of whether it is true or not, he is guilty of disadvantageous control."

"After the emperor heard this, he ordered people to investigate Mei Liben's affairs. Although the evidence was conclusive, Mei Liben really did such a thing and was ordered by the emperor to ransack his home, but Mei Hanlin only gave a symbolic fine of three months' salary. .”

"I know Eunuch Heshun won't ask Xia Shouzhong to tell me the origin of the things for no reason. He is so detailed, he must be implying something. The biggest possibility is that the Jia family has also suffered such disasters."

"But our family now needs to go to the imperial court to do errands. It's just me and the second uncle Zheng in the mansion over there. Obviously, I didn't do anything by myself, and the second uncle Zheng doesn't have the ability to do such a thing. big event."

"I couldn't figure it out these days, until a few days ago because of Jiang Yuhan's incident, I went to Prince Zhongshun to apologize, and Prince Zhongshun said: It's just an actor, pampering is a thing, and it's no pity to throw it away. You don’t need to worry about this, Mr. Jia, you should pay attention to the clansmen when you have time.”

"Don't be like this king. Discipline is not good and make yourself a laughing stock. It's okay if you just lose face, and it doesn't matter if you lose your life. Just don't get involved with that little meatball."

"I just started to investigate these things. It's okay for us in the capital. Although it's full of smog, it won't cause us to ransack our homes and exterminate our families."

"But when I found out that Uncle Zheng once asked Jia Yucun to intervene in Xue Pan's affairs through a post in the mansion, I realized what the problem was. That’s why I hurriedly asked for leave and came back.”

Hearing this, Jia She let out a long breath and said: "Eunuch Heshun and Prince Zhongshun made a reminder, obviously the emperor intends to remind us that we haven't really reached that point yet, second brother, let's think of a way."

Jia Jing also heaved a sigh of relief, and immediately said: "Submit the book immediately, and then bring this bastard back to Jinling to investigate. My side will also go to the imperial court to plead guilty. After getting the evidence, we will divide the sect!"

Then, he said to Jia Zhen again: "Bastard, you went to Jinling with your uncle this time. After you're done, go to the ancestral grave to stay in filial piety for three years and repent in front of your ancestors, understand?"

Jia Zhen knew very well that it was her father who was saving her life, so she immediately kowtowed and said, "My son understands that he must deeply reflect on his mistakes in front of his ancestors and ask his ancestors to forgive him."

Jia She asked: "Second brother, how do you divide the sects?"

After Jia Jing thought for a while, he said: "All the clansmen have investigated one by one. If they still have good conduct, no matter their age or age, we will ask them to volunteer and take them with them to set up a single ancestral hall. The ancestral hall of the Ningguo Mansion in Jinling will be used as the ancestral hall. , re-purchase the sacrificial fields."

"Anyone who is crying and dissatisfied should go directly to the yamen with evidence. Your status as a marquis and a first-class general is enough for the officials over there to enforce the law impartially. After killing chickens and monkeys, those people will naturally agree to split the clan. "

"My side will also wait for the emperor's punishment, and immediately go to Jia Zheng to recover the account of stealing the land for sacrifice. At that time, after he has made up the money that our two families took out for the land sacrifice, he will be the patriarch of the Jia family. No matter what happens in the future, it has nothing to do with us."

Jia Amnesty nodded in satisfaction and said, "It should be so!"

Jia Jing continued: "I don't think there is any need for the clansmen here to stay, but the school is a part of my grandfather's division from the courtyard of Ningguo Mansion, and it cannot be left to others."

"But after all, I hope that some members of the Jia family will be able to make a fortune. Therefore, it will be changed to a free school in the future. Anyone who is poor and sincerely wants to learn can go in and listen to the lecture."

"We opened it in the name of the place of atonement for the Jia family's Jinling. We provide a lunch every day, and we also provide tea. If someone is from a poor family and likes to study, they can also help with cleaning and cleaning. some wages."

Everyone thought it was good, Jia Lian said: "This can be passed along with the begging paper, so that the emperor can know that we are sincerely pleading guilty." Naturally, everyone had no opinion.

Facing the begging papers of Jia Jing and others, the emperor looked unclear. After a long while, he only agreed with Jia Amnesty and Jia Zhen to go out of Beijing to Jinling to investigate and deal with clan affairs, and fined Jia Jing one year's salary and Jia Zhen's three year salary.

Everyone in the Jia family breathed a sigh of relief, and they also understood in their hearts that the reason why the emperor handled it lightly was entirely because of Jia Zhuo, who also expressed his approval of the Jia family's decision in a tacit way.

Three days after Jia Amnesty and Jia Zhen left, the emperor took people on a tour to the south. Bo Tao and Jia Zhuo were taken by the emperor on the imperial boat. Concubine Zhen and other female relatives were alone on another boat. Not accompanied.

Both Bo Tao and Jia Zhuo had never been on a boat, and it was strange to see anything at the moment. Bo Tao could hold back and act calmly as much as possible, but Jia Zhuo couldn’t do it. He had to lie on the emperor's lap like a tired and paralyzed little pug.

The emperor was really indulgent to Jia Zhuo, hugging his small fleshy body, slapped his fat buttocks and said: "What do you say you are running around, you are covered in sweat, if you are hit by the sea breeze What should I do if I catch a typhoid?"

Jia Zhuo touched the fat buttocks that had been patted again and giggled. The emperor had no choice but to let Heshun carry him off and change his clothes before coming back, so he called Bo Tao to his side and asked him about his studies.

Bo Tao is a very self-disciplined child, even if he comes out to play, he will complete the homework assigned by the master on time, which makes the emperor very satisfied, but the emperor is not happy for long.

After Jia Zhuo changed his clothes, he was about to go to the emperor to play with Bo Tao when he heard Bo Tao's voice of reciting a letter. Immediately, he shrank his head and ran away without any morale.

He followed Jia She's roots. Although he is smart, he is not very interested in things like the Four Books and Five Classics. He can memorize them and remember the meanings according to the gentlemen's explanations, but you let him read them in a strategic way. Speaking of the truth, that is impossible.

The emperor didn't intend to ask Jia Zhuo to come back with a test of merit, so as long as he was educated and sensible, and he and Bo Tao had different futures, and now that he was young, the emperor naturally indulged him.

He poked his head around, and even made a grimace to express sympathy for Bo Tao, the emperor saw it all, and didn't say much about the brat who ran away when he saw him looking over.

Soon, Bo Tao memorized the book and talked about his own understanding. Although his ideas were immature, he already had his own opinions. The emperor was very satisfied, and he gave him instructions and explanations, which benefited Bo Tao a lot.

The emperor smiled and said to Bo Tao: "Study is important, but it is also important to relax in time. You are still young, so don't push yourself too hard."

"You don't need to go to the imperial examination to become an official in the future, so you just need to know these knowledges. What you have to learn is how to appreciate and recognize other people's talents, so that their talents can be used by you, not your own talents, understand? "

If Bo Tao realized something but half-understood, he replied honestly: "Although the grandson is still a little confused, the grandson will remember the words of the emperor and think about it slowly."

The emperor was very satisfied with his reply, he laughed and said: "Okay, you just think about it slowly when you think about it, and you will be a qualified heir."

"Now, you follow me, go and relax first, let's go to Changfu and see what that brat is doing."

After Bo Tao agreed, the emperor said to He He: "Go and get my fishing gear, let the two of them taste the freshly caught fish tonight, how delicious it is."

Thinking of that little greedy cat, squinting his eyes to eat, and not forgetting to serve himself vegetables, the emperor was very happy. As a result, as soon as he arrived on the deck, he saw Jia Zhuo, who had nowhere to eat, was following him. Not far behind, the concubine on the boat is watching the sea and trying to pee!

Thinking about how many people may have urinated in this sea, and he still wants to eat the sea fish here, the emperor subconsciously felt a little sick to his stomach.

He Shun immediately understood what was going on, and quickly found a step for the emperor, saying: "Your Majesty, don't worry, the sea water is flowing, so you don't need to worry about the things below being affected."

The thing is such a thing, but the emperor was still so angry that he went directly to pick up the brat who had finished peeing and slapped his fat ass twice. Jia Zhuo stopped doing it, but he didn't do anything this time. What about hitting yourself?

He complained: "Grandfather, why, you slapped my ass again, I just won!" Before he had time to show off how long he had been peeing, why was he taken down, how embarrassing he was?
