Jia Hu of the Red Chamber

The chieftain of Nanyue had long been rebellious, and even colluded with officials and generals in Huguang and other places. He went down several cities overnight, shaking the government and the public.By the beginning of August in the third year of Qinglong, there were five and eighteen states in the south of the Yangtze River and west of Yezhou, and only Jiannan Road was still struggling.

Once Yezhou falls, Jiangnan will be lost.

The Northwest subsides but two years later, the Southwest War started again, not to mention the treasury is stretched, and there are not many generals to be sent. The emperor even appointed a few veterans who were loyal to him, but they all returned home in succession.Except for the loyal Marquis Yuan Zhiming and his generals who needed to guard the northwest to deter the barbarians, they couldn't find any generals who could rival the rebels.Shuiqing thought that Prince Teng, the envoy of the Jingying Festival, might be handsome. Unexpectedly, the emperor mistakenly thought that Shuiqing wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to seize the right to defend the capital, and he refused to allow it. The situation, and the rebels confronted Yezhou as the line.

Just when the court was full of gloom, and some officials were killed because they asked the present to negotiate peace with the rebels, Jiannan Road, which had been besieged by the rebels for a long time, received good news.

It turned out that the generals of the rebel army were bloodthirsty and fond of slaughtering and looting cities, and the people complained a lot. Jia Hu took this as an opportunity to recruit small people to serve as soldiers. Guard the home.

At that time, the bloody atrocities of the rebels had already spread throughout Kyushu, and the people everywhere were terrified. More and more people joined the army. Upgraded three levels in a row.

It's a pity that the soldiers recruited were all ordinary people before. They either farmed in the village or sold goods in the market. Even if they practiced hard, how could they be reborn and rival the brave rebels within a few months?

In the fall of that year, General Jiannan ignored Jia Hu's advice and advanced greedily for meritorious service. In the end, his entire army was wiped out and died in battle.

The rebel army succeeded in one blow and approached Yangcheng, guarded by Jia Hu, with the rest of their prestige. The army was defeated for a while, and it was Min Ru's eldest son, Min Na, who rescued Jia Hu with all his might. The Jiannan army retreated more than [-] miles. Yu once, Jia Hu woke up from the coma, his eyes flushed with anxiety.

Fortunately, there is no such thing as an unparalleled road. Jia Hu worked hard day and night after going through this difficulty, and finally recovered the decline when the new year was approaching. , and let Shui Qing justifiably reject the emperor's order to send another mature and prudent person to supervise the army.

Afterwards, Jia Hu got angry and fought more and more courageously. In the sixth year of Qinglong's reign, he wiped out the Huguang rebel army successively, and defeated the direct line of Nanyue Chieftain who declared himself emperor in July in the Battle of Lingyue.

Shui Qing was overjoyed to receive the battle report, and said seven good words in a row in the imperial study, and on the spot ordered the eunuch Dai Quan, the chief eunuch, to promote Shui Qing to be the right servant of the second-rank military department, and ordered Dai Quan to go to Rongguo Duke's mansion in person. Reward the Jia family.

As early as when Jia Hu led the troops to defend Lizhou City, Dai Quan went to the Rongguo Mansion to admonish the Jia family not to worry the soldiers of the state under the promotion of Shui Qing and the order of Empress Chen Yi, and suppressed the old lady Shi Shi and others. People, now the glory of the Jia family belongs to Jia Hu, the old lady Shi treats Zhou Jie mother and son with affection and love, and the second wife Wang has no matter how dissatisfied she can only eat fast and chant Buddha kindly, at most she is a guest My sister, Mrs. Xue, complained about one or two things.

The people in the backyard of the Rongguo Mansion temporarily stopped, but the Concubine Zhen in the harem relied on the emperor's favor and felt guilty for asking Shui Qing to give her the maid Jia Yuanchun a grade. The excuses are ready-made. The sister of a meritorious official, if she doesn't get a position, it may chill Jia Shi's heart, and the drowsy emperor who said it with a clever mouth, also nodded.

Shui Qing smiled, glanced at the emperor who was becoming more and more depressed, and on the spot named Jia Yuanchun a beauty, and stayed in the side hall of Fengzao Palace.

Concubine Zhen was overjoyed, but who knew that Shui Qing issued a Ming and Huang imperial decree, summoning Jia Shi, the daughter of the first-class general Jia She, to enter the palace as a concubine, named Rong.

As soon as the decree came out, Concubine Zhen in the palace was really furious, and she wanted to complain to the emperor, but the emperor's health has been very bad in recent years, if she is really angry, won't her poor Ba'er want to let others compare notes?After thinking about it, Concubine Zhen didn't dare to alarm the emperor just because of a pawn, she rewarded Yingchun who was about to enter the palace to accompany her like a normal person.

The members of the Jia family who received the imperial decree were stunned. Fortunately, Dai Quan knew Jia Hu's face in front of Shui Qing, so he didn't make things difficult for them. The leader of the reward under the reward went back to the palace and returned to his life.

It wasn't until Dai Quan walked away that Jia She suddenly regained his composure and read the imperial decree three times with trepidation before he dared to believe that his concubine's daughter had really become the concubine of a saint.

Jia She's concubine's daughter is a concubine as soon as she enters the palace. Concubine Rong, the eldest daughter of the second family's first son, has been in the palace until now, but she is only a fourth-rank beauty. In the past, regardless of the old lady and the others whose faces were difficult to distinguish, they urged the eldest lady Xing to tidy up Yingchun's private house to be brought into the palace, and shouted at the servants to change their minds, who would dare to offend her? After killing the eldest girl, she was dragged out and killed.

Jia She was insane with joy, the eldest wife Xing was also honored, she walked with wind under her feet, and it was the first time in her life that she opened the box so freely, Jia Zheng felt breathless in his chest as he watched, and couldn't help it. Said that the saint messed up his concubines, so he could only flick his sleeves and go to the study.

The second wife, Wang Shi, was still held by the old lady's side, and couldn't escape the scolding, a fishy sweetness rose from her mouth after a while, and her lowered eyes were bloodshot.

Pity her such a good Yuan Chun, to be trampled on the head by a bitch born to a girl!How could she be willing!Now that the big house sits big, where will there be a place for their wives to stand in this mansion in the future?

Mrs. Wang had just heard that Yuan Chun had conferred the title of concubine before she got the news. The joy and shock was heartbreaking, and she was a little confused for a while, with a look of ferocity on her face.

Zhou Jie, who was busy distributing the wives in charge, caught a glimpse and felt vigilant. Seeing that Yingchun had been in a trance since receiving the order, she hurriedly asked her eldest girl, Yuemei, to take Yingchun back to the yard to rest, waiting for the influx of people to come. After clearing up the trivial matters, he went to talk to Yingchun with Lian's second grandmother, Liu Xia.

It's a pity that what Manfu sees and talks about is the glory of the Tianjia, and only Zhou Jie's sister-in-law really misses Yingchun.

Besides, Jia She, after he generously took out his collection of antiques and curios and added them to Yingchun's private room, he pretended to be the head of the country, and would lead his servants outside to shake his prestige from time to time.

One day Jia Amnesty was comfortably sitting in the soft sedan chair with a hand stove in hand to go to Shengji to enjoy rare treasures, when the sedan chair suddenly stopped and almost fell out of the way.

Jia Amnesty was about to scold, but met the eunuch Dai Quan's face that seemed to be smiling but not smiling, he trembled suddenly, shrank his body and followed Dai Quan into the palace, and kowtowed at the clear water today.

In Jia Hu's face, Shui Qing didn't let Mr. Jia, who was sitting on a vegetarian diet, kneel down for too long, he cried out calmly, and even offered Jia Amnesty a cup of tea.

Where does Jia She dare to eat?He picked up the cup and stuffed it into his mouth with shaking hands for a long time, but he still couldn't taste the taste inside.

Sighing silently, Shui Qing looked at Jia She expressionlessly for a long while before pointing out the purpose of calling him into the palace today.

For one thing, Shui Qing didn't want Jia Hu to judge in blood outside, but was implicated by Jia She, who was doing nothing.He wanted to get along with Jia Hu and his ministers forever, how could he allow Jia She Baba to pass the handle on to others.

Furthermore, with Jia Hu's merits, no matter how much a second-rank servant is enough, he should be like Yuan Zhiming, who was named Marquis by Wu.But Jia She is only a first-class general, if Jia Hu has a higher title than Jia She, the emperor who has a heart disease will definitely not agree.Besides, if Jia Hu was only granted a Marquis, then the title passed down by Duke Rong would fall on Jia Lian.

The imperial court does not need so many nobles.

At first Jia Amnesty heard the palace servants around Shui Qing recite one after another the dirty things he had done to bully others these days, and he almost fainted from shock, and then he heard Shui Qing finally opened his golden mouth, but It was to ask him to beg for the old man and give up the title to the eldest son Jia Hu, but he couldn't turn the corner for a while, he just thought that Shui Qing was going to send him off immediately, rolled his eyes, and fell into a faint in the upper study.

Shui Qing didn't expect Jia Hu's biological father, Mr. Jia, to be so unintimidated, and he didn't call the imperial doctor when he was stunned. Suspended and fell to the ground.

Seeing that Jia Amnesty was so useless, Shui Qing didn't bother to talk nonsense, and told Jia Amnesty that he could go back to the mansion and enjoy the honor in peace, as long as he kept his own place, he would have the blessings of his descendants.

Realizing that the sage didn't want to take the knife on him, Jia She returned to his senses after being frightened away just now, and it didn't take a moment to understand that the sage wanted to make way for his son as soon as possible, and don't want to block the wealth and glory behind him.

Jia She was overjoyed, although it was a pity that he couldn't show off his majesty outside, but the sage had spoken, and it was good for him to be proud in the mansion, so he immediately kowtowed to receive the decree. He rushed back to his study to write a note, and respectfully praised it to the servant who accompanied him back home.

On the second day of the court meeting, Shui Qing praised Jia She and Jia Hu and his son in front of the officials, and granted Jia She's request, and Jia Hu became a first-rank general.

On the same day, Nanyue reported victory, and Jia Hu was conferred the title of first-rank Grand Bachelor of the Hall of Valor.

It was three months later when the angel who read out the imperial decree arrived at the place where Jia Hu's army was located, and the one who had been promoted to be in charge held a box of clothes and dry goods packed by his wives and grandmas, but it was only five days later than the angel.

It was only now that Jia Hu knew that before his army had returned home, his wife Zhou Jie had already brought their children into the Rongxi Hall, which he had thought about for two lifetimes, as the wife of a first-class imperial order.

Nowadays, except for the old lady Shi Shi who can say a few words that are neither yin nor yang based on her seniority, no one can make things difficult for her wife and children.

Feng Guanxiapei is the master of the house, and everything he promised has been fulfilled.
