[Red Mansions] The Road to Empress Dowager

The killing outside the Suzaku Gate and the West Gate was bloody. Fortunately, it was cold in late autumn, otherwise it would have become a mess of flies and infectious diseases. It took half a month for the yamen servants of Jingzhao Mansion and the eunuchs of the inner palace to clean the gate together. time, but still not clean.

Tu Yuanyi spared the lives of Tu Yuankang, Tu Yuanfang, Tu Yuanfeng and other royal family members, but degraded them all as commoners and exiled Yili, which is a territory half controlled by the imperial court, and General Yili is hereditary .

The Xungui, civil servants and military generals involved in the incident were sentenced to beheading, and all males from the direct lineage were executed from the age of [-] to three years old, and the collateral lineage and female relatives served as official slaves.The property of all persons involved will be confiscated and will be counted by the Ministry of Household Affairs.

It is a big battle to kill the ministers who conspired against him, and Tu Yuanyi rewarded the three armies.For those who have made meritorious service, ordinary soldiers who died in this battle will be rewarded with [-] mu of fertile land for their immediate family members. If the centurion or corporal will award [-] mu of meritorious land, the next generation of heirs will be exempted from taxes.As for the ordinary soldiers who are alive, they enjoy this kind of power by themselves, so that they can live well after retiring from the army.But military officers are rewarded even higher. Zhou Xianchuan, the minister of the first meritorious service, directly named him the first-class Marquis of Jingyi. Feng Duwei's.

In this way, the Jingying, Jinyiwei, and Gongsheng Army are all very happy. With such kindness, the rumors of Tu Yuanyi's "meanness and lack of kindness" in the minds of the soldiers are self-defeating, and they are completely popular among the Jingying Army.

The only thing that was a bit disturbing was that Zhou Xianchuan asked the marquis in exchange for the safety of Prince Zhongxian's family at the Great Court Meeting, and asked the emperor to allow him to serve Prince Zhongxian.

The ministers who were wise and safe before the court thought he was crazy, but they didn't know whether this person was true or false, and he was not an ungrateful person after all.

Tu Yuanyi agreed, and was demoted to the third class Bo Jingyi, allowing him to serve Prince Zhongxian's family in a separate courtyard.

Tu Yuanyi didn't kill the clan and brothers, but left the clan who didn't directly participate in the show to have nothing to do. Of course, there are not too many powerful people.An old prince of Germany who followed him to the south of the Yangtze River was in charge of the clan, and he had nothing to say about it. It was a serious crime to behead any dynasty or generation.

For the next half a year, the household department where Tu Yuanyi's foundation is located will be the busiest department. In addition to Jiangnan's reorganization, it is also a big project to search for officials who have been honored by the clan.

The official department is also very busy. Yuan Tu Yuanyi's confidant Li Xun, the right servant of the official department, was directly promoted to the minister of the envoy. After killing so many people, the extra vacancies became the sweet pastry of many scholars and envoys. .

……

The beauty of the flowers is in the sky, the passing water is in the fingers, and the years are like a shuttle.

In the winter of the fourth year of Qianyuan.

The capital is located in Qinchuan, and there is already frost everywhere. Pedestrians come and go wearing thick padded jackets, shrinking their bodies, exhaling white air from their mouths.

The bustling place in Kyoto is not like the countryside in the countryside. It is quiet everywhere in the winter months, and there is a constant stream of small businesses and pedestrians.The rebellion in the capital a year ago was just a hearsay story for ordinary people.But it is said in the public that today is wise and powerful, and all the Xiao Xiaos are hitting a stone with an egg in front of him.

On this day, Jia Huan took Zhao Guoji to wander around the capital, and he always saw some familiar and unfamiliar things in the shop, such as various soaps, matches, exquisite mirrors, briquettes, and several major ways of making money for the traveler. up.

Jia Huan's ambition has been hit to the slightest. He wants to cultivate pearls, but he doesn't have the strength at all now.This is inland Kyoto, there is no sea.

He had thought about growing off-season vegetables in a greenhouse, but unfortunately, there is no plastic film and glass is too expensive, and the cost alone cannot build a greenhouse.

Fortunately, he managed a special bakery shop, which allowed him to live a small/healthy/life, enough for him to go to the academy to study.Now that Jia Huan has realized the reality, if he wants to have good resources, he must have status, and studying in the imperial examination is the only way for a bastard like him.

He is a modern man, and he doesn't know martial arts, so he dare not kill the enemy on the field. Let's say that in the killings in Jiangnan and Kyoto last year, I don't know how many people were killed. These news are also circulating in Jingdu, and it makes the spine chill to think about it.

The Jia family was also passive because of its foundation in the south of the Yangtze River. Many slaves of the Jia family in the south of the Yangtze River committed crimes and were taken down.But thanks to the uselessness of the Patriarch of the Jia family, they have lost control of the dark slaves and the clan.However, Wang Ziteng was transferred to the northeast to patrol the frontier before the start. When he came back, most of the secret forces of the Wang family in the south of the Yangtze River were cut off.The Jia family did not participate in Prince Lian's rebellion due to Jia Lian's obstruction, and temporarily kept the Rongguo Mansion.

Jia Huan is now 12 years old, and it has been more than 5 years since he traveled through time. Although he is not familiar with "Red Mansions", he knows that according to the original work, Jia Yuanchun should have been concubine by this time.It's okay if there are none here, and those products made by time travelers, he felt that what he was wearing must be a doujin.Now those ways of getting rich have been seized by others, he wants to speed up his fame, only fame can truly protect what he will get in the future, otherwise Mrs. Wang will not let him go.

In recent years, Jia Huan has won Jia Zheng's heart, and his articles have made Jia Zheng somewhat admired, and his poems are often better than Baoyu's, which makes Jia Zheng more face, so his treatment is much better.But at the beginning of the year, he was going to go to the south of the Yangtze River to take the exam. This was another big hurdle. Mrs. Wang might not agree, because Jia Baoyu was still a waste.

That night, Jia Huan explained to Jia Zheng that he was confident that he would be a scholar. After all, he studied hard for five years, and he might not be able to pass the exam. However, as a modern person who is good at exams, Zhao Jiahuan is considered an elite in the workplace. It is very advantageous for children's cognitive control and memory to read.

Jia Zheng hesitated, and said: "After all, you are still young and have traveled long distances. Besides, Jiangnan has just experienced major events a few days ago, why don't you wait until next year to go."

Jia Huan said: "Father, next year will be next year. How many will there be next year? The child is just a teenager, just when the young eagle is spreading its wings. How can he stay in the backyard for nothing and fail the teaching of the sage? Besides, the second brother Bao doesn't like the imperial examination career. Economics, the boy is afraid that his brother will not take the imperial examination, and there is nothing he can do if he has his own aspirations. The father has only two sons, and the father is responsible for the revitalization of the Rongguo Mansion. The boy hopes to help his father by gaining fame as soon as possible. No matter how hard it is, the boy is not afraid. "

This remark not only gave Jia Baoyu eye drops, but also pointed to Jia Zheng's ambition. Jia Zheng is a prudish person, pretending to be something, but in his heart he is very afraid that he is not the second master of the Rongguo Mansion, but just a five-year-old. A low-ranking official will be reduced to be like Jia Dairu in the future.

In Jia Zheng's heart, he hated Jia Baoyu, a rebellious son. Jia Zhu died young, and the family didn't restrict Jia Baoyu to study for fear of repeating the same mistakes.Jia Zheng still felt chills about last year's incident in Kyoto, but now that he thinks about Yuan Chun, no, Yuan Chun doesn't have any hope.

He also knew that it was really impossible for Jia Baoyu to take the imperial examination. The second room could not count on him if he wanted to succeed. Jia Huan was sensible and read very well, so there was hope.

It should be noted that Jia Lian did not study, and Jia Cong could not see anything. If the second room had a Jinshi son in the future, Jia Zheng would have more confidence in seizing the title and being the head of the family.

People don't kill heaven and earth for themselves, but Jia Zheng can convince himself that he is doing it for the good of the family, who will let the people in the big house not live up to it?

Speaking of this, he was vigilant again. Since Jia Lian came back from Jiangnan the year before last, if he didn't bring back Lin Daiyu, he would naturally be scolded by Jia's mother.Two years ago after the newly opened Chunwei, Shi Rui, who passed the Jinshi examination, came to the door in person, embarrassing the second bedroom of Jia's family. After that, Shi Rui became close to Jia Lian and often took Jia Lian out to socialize. Jia Lian actually knew each other. Although some noble scholars have no fame, their circles are different.

Although Jia Lian was looked down upon by others when he went out to study with Shi Rui, he was the legitimate heir of the Rong Mansion after all, he knew how to behave, he was protected by his cousin, and others had to give him some face.All these made Jia Zheng and Mrs. Wang grit their silver teeth.Last year, Jia Lian's insight could be said to have saved the entire Jia family, otherwise they would have been beheaded now.

Jia Zheng thought to himself: Isn't it the Shi family that has fallen into disrepair? What is a Jinshi cousin?

At that moment, Jia Zheng agreed and gave a few words of encouragement. Jia Huan was overjoyed and left the study.In the evening, Jia Zheng rested at Aunt Zhao's place. Aunt Zhao was overjoyed when she learned that her son was so promising.

……

When he greeted Jia Mu early the next morning, Jia Zheng proposed in public that Jia Huan should go to Jinling to take part in the scientific examination.

Jia Mu was slightly displeased, and said: "Huan'er is only so old, you can bear him to suffer that crime. How can a family like ours need to argue with that poor kid?"

Jia Zhengdao: "Huan'er has worked hard, and he has read the Four Books and Five Classics by heart. It's time to end. He has the ambition to honor his ancestors, so we should naturally support him."

Mrs. Wang held the Buddhist beads, and hated Jia Huan in her heart. Unexpectedly, Jia Huan's cunning and cunning son flattered Jia Zheng in the early years, and asked him to turn down many errands of copying Buddhist scriptures in the name of reading. He really read some books. , and now there is an imperial examination.Her Baoyu is two years older and still hasn't passed the exam. It's okay if she doesn't pass the exam in the future. If she really comes to the exam, what will Baoyu do?How can the master humiliate Baoyu like this?

Mrs. Wang said: "My lord, have you forgotten how Zhu'er died? I only hope that he can grow up in peace, marry a wife and have children, and the family will not miss a bite of food for him. The mountains are high and the water is long, and Huan'er is talented." 11 years old, what should I do if something happens?"

Jia Zheng scolded: "Ignorant woman! If you don't have fame in the future, where will you get food? You don't need to say more about this, but if Baoyu can improve a little, why bother to let Huan'er fight for his future at a young age?"

When Jia Baoyu heard his father mention him, he shrank like a quail.As for Sanchun in the house, Yingchun has nothing to do with him, Xichun is cold and cold, but Tanchun has a complicated mood.

Tanchun has always looked down on Jia Huan. Even if he started to study hard, he thought he was just wishful thinking and thought he had no spirituality. But in recent years, Jia Huan's talent has surprised her.

But she was also worried that Mrs. Wang would vent her anger on her, because of Jia Huan's matter, she would use black hands in her marriage in the future.Now Tanchun is 13 years old, and if he wants to stay in an ordinary aristocratic family, he has already been busy with various social activities and knows many people.

Although Mrs. Xing was sitting there like a wooden figure, she was actually waiting to see Mrs. Wang's jokes.Jia Amnesty was not there, and he didn't come to pay his respects every day, and the old lady didn't want to see him either.Mrs. Xing's life is nothing more than withholding money everywhere and pleasing Jia She, nothing else can attract her.Although Jia Lian has had some face-saving affection with her in recent years, there is still no real money.

Then, Jia Zheng asked Baoyu why he didn't go to school today. Jia Baoyu shrank his neck, and Jia's mother hurriedly said, "Baoyu caught a cold last night. How could you have the heart to let him get up so early to go to school? He hasn't been sick yet." OK!"

Jia Zheng scolded him a few more times, and wanted to drag him away to let the doctor see if he was pretending to be sick. Jia's mother howled immediately, and the matter was left alone.

The author has something to say: Please don't substitute the Kangxi Dynasty.Absolutely not.My old readers know that the only Qing Dynasty I wrote about is the old novel "Book Tour", which is about the heroine's rebellion, not about falling in love with "the breeds/horses/love/kinds of Aixinjueluo's family" of.There is suspicion of Long Aotian, but I really can't write the true love for Braid Chao.

I don't have Han chauvinism, and the Han and Manchus are now brothers and sisters of the Chinese nation, but it cannot be denied that the Han people were almost extinct.I don't like digital men, I think it's money rat tail, it's too ugly.

The next chapter is about the heroine.
