Love of Friends in the Red Chamber

After Sun Shaozu entertained Baoyu, he didn't take these small things to heart.He only said that if he raped Baoyu, he would avenge his old hatred of being belittled by Mrs. Wang and Concubine Yuan, and he was very happy.He didn't know that on the surface, his reputation was not diminished, but someone had already recorded another account for him behind his back, just waiting for the opportunity to take revenge.

Sun Shaozu was in Beijing for less than one month, and during this month, he didn't even stay at home for ten days, but in just ten days, Yingchun was beaten twice again, his head and face were so swollen that he couldn't see anyone.When Jia Cong learned that, he was furious, so he issued an order to urge Sun Shaozu to return to the army, so that Yingchun's urgent need was saved.

Jia Cong then set off to fight. This time, he was really full of pride. He wanted to fight to seal the wolf and live in Xuxu and create a hundred years of peace.On the day of leaving Beijing, Daiyu got up before dawn and replaced Jia Cong with tea at home.Jia Cong then put on full military uniform, and Prince Zhongshun led all the officials to see him off with wine outside Xuanwu Gate. Jia Cong was solemn and solemn. Refuse to live with it.After resigning from the emperor, he respectfully saluted Jia She who was waiting by the side. Jia She naturally had a set of old precepts of "turning filial piety into loyalty". These are all routines and needless to say.

Then Jia Cong began his military career, dispatching troops and generals, strategizing, and winning a decisive victory thousands of miles away.Needless to say, the troubles and hardships involved, even those major military affairs, are beyond the author's knowledge. Military and politics are not the scope of writing leisure novels, so they are omitted.After two years of galloping thousands of miles, resting on God's feet, and fighting bloody battles, the border troubles were finally eradicated, the bandits were defeated, and the remnants escaped across the Qilian Mountains.

On the day when the red flag victory came to Beijing, the court was full of jubilation, and the emperor was overjoyed, so he ordered Jia Cong to return to the court, offer captives, sacrifice to heaven, and labor the army.On the day when Jia Cong returned to Beijing, Lin Jiarui's secret letter also arrived: "Brother Cong, I respect you: I have heard about the ancient sages, and their accomplishments are unstoppable. This is the way of heaven. After the meritorious service of today's virtuous brother, he has made extraordinary achievements in the world." , A man who is a good man establishes a career to become famous, and all virtuous brothers will do it. However, recently, I have been reading the history of the past dynasties for my brother, and the so-called ministers who have made great achievements and surpassed the lord, most of them do not end well, because they do not know the way to advance or retreat. For my brother, listen, The Holy Lord wants to reward his meritorious service with a high rank and rich salary, and bestow the post of Duke of Ningguo Mansion on his virtuous younger brother. This is a matter of congratulations and sorrows. In this case, the Jia family will have another family with two dukes. Brother Wangxian, think carefully. The book is not exhaustive, so I will worship again."

After Jia Cong got this heartbreaking letter, he naturally made up his mind. On the day of entering Beijing, Prince Zhongshun greeted him for thirty miles on behalf of the Son of Heaven. Out of arrogance, seeing only the shadow of the loyal prince's sedan chair, he dismounted and stood respectfully by the side of the road. When the prince arrived, he behaved courteously and treated his colleagues very kindly.Prince Zhongshun was very satisfied, he repeatedly praised Jia Cong for being sensible in front of the emperor, and Sacred Heart was very happy.

Although Jia Cong was eager to return home, he did not act rashly. Although the imperial decree ordered him to go home for a reunion, he still stayed in the post outside the city honestly, waiting for the next day to enter the pilgrimage.The next day, the emperor allowed Jia Cong to bring his guard of honor into the city, but Jia Cong knew that he wanted him to give Yushi an excuse to impeach him. How dare he bring a soldier with him? The second-rank civil servants no longer wear military uniforms or ride horses, but enter the city in sedan chairs.

Seeing the emperor, he wrote a series of articles praising the merits of holiness and enlightenment. He is the foundation of Tanhua. Speaking of these praise articles, they are really full of flowers. The credit for this was nothing but the implementation of the emperor's strategy of retreating the enemy, coupled with the full assistance of the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty, the border troubles were cleared away.So all the monarchs and ministers praised him.

The emperor felt that Jia Cong was indeed a pillar of the sky, and the more he saw him, the more he fell in love with him, so he did not test him out with his false position as a noble, but actually named him Marquis of Jingyuan, opened a mansion and built a tooth, and was appointed as the third division of Yitong.So Jia Cong stayed in the capital and never went back to the west. He cut off all contact with the former generals, and when he parted, he only told them to be diligent in the king's affairs and not to lose the holy grace.The only person he highly recommends without hesitation is that Sun Shaozu.It was repeatedly said that he was used to fighting and made outstanding achievements repeatedly, and recommended him to be the governor of the Anxi Protectorate.

The emperor naturally wanted to save face, so he accepted the invitation and gave Sun Shaozu a title of Marquis.But Jia Cong knew that because of the emperor's suspicion, a thorn was planted in his heart, and then he secretly informed Lin Jiarui, and appointed Ding Baochen, a well-known upright official, as the governor of Gansu to guard the Anxi Governor's Mansion portal.Speaking of Ding Baochen, he is a strange person. There is no official in the Northwest who does not scold him, and there is no commoner who does not praise him, because this person is as clear as water, as bright as a mirror, loves the people as a son, and hates corrupt officials like a bandit. It was difficult to move forward, but when Jia Cong was in charge of the Northwest, he found that this person was superior in talent, good in character, and jealous of evil, so he was promoted again and again.That Master Ding was not grateful to Dade, on the contrary, he would find fault with Jia Cong from time to time. Jia Cong found this man more and more interesting, and often called him into the house to tease him.After going back and forth, the two became confidants. Ding Baochen did not expect that Jia Cong, as a child of a rich family, has no arrogance, can bear hardships, is willing to contribute, and is not greedy or abusive. He is also an anomaly in the officialdom.This time, Jia Cong first held Sun Shaozu onto the hot stove, and then put Ding Baochen's charcoal on the edge of the stove, waiting for Sun Shaozu to kill himself.

Sure enough, Sun Shaozu did not disappoint him. Some people don't know what it means to stop when enough is enough.Sun Shaozu made meritorious service at a young age, enjoyed a high position, and received a generous salary. In addition, his former boss and brother-in-law were far away in the capital, and there was no Zhenshan Taisui on his head. He became the emperor of the Northwest, and he said what he said.He even connived at the soldiers many times, harassing the border people, burning, killing and looting, and raped women in the name of exterminating the remnants of the Hu bandits.

Ding Baochen was willing to stand by and watch, he didn't care about Sun Shaozu's high position and power, and he was an important minister recommended by Jia Cong in the northwest, so he impeached Sun Shaozu one after another, but the emperor kept him out.At first things were stalemate, but Sun Shaozu's deadline had come, and there was an incident where one of his soldiers set up a card to blackmail the border people. He met a beautiful nun, and the soldiers conspired against him. One head was bumped to death on the boundary marker, and everyone had already harbored grievances, so they took this opportunity to make a noise, which almost sparked a civil uprising.

When Sun Shaozu heard about this incident, he broke out in a cold sweat, but he wanted to keep his close friends who had been through life and death, so he deliberately dismissed the people who were making trouble as traitors. However, at a critical moment, Ding Baochen arrived Checkpoint, standing in front of the border people, said that he was going to be killed. He was wearing the court uniform of a third-rank official of the court. No matter how arrogant Sun Shaozu was, he did not dare to kill the court official, so he filed an imperial court lawsuit with him.The two insisted on their own opinions, and the memorial was sent to the capital like a snowflake. In fact, the emperor had already seen the matter clearly, although he didn't say anything, he already had a prejudice.Then he decreed that Ding Baochen be appointed by Jin Dynasty as an inspector in the three provinces of Shaanxi, Gansu and Ningxia, and he was above Sun Shaozu, and then he ordered Sun Shaozu to go to Beijing to report on his work.

When Sun Shaozu was still in doubt, Jia Cong from the middle of the capital took the first step to declare himself guilty of ignorance, and asked the emperor to take back his title of Jingyuan Marquis to calm the resentment of the border people. His memorial was written in pity and compassion, The tragic image of the border residents being tortured was portrayed so vividly that it made people cry, so Sun Shaozu had already been convicted of the crime before he returned to Beijing.

When Sun Shaozu heard the news, he didn't know the real situation in Beijing, so he was confused, afraid that he would be accused of going to Beijing to ask him to kill him. far away.Ding Baochen had already sent his eyeliner to watch him. Where he was willing to let him escape, he issued a king's order flag to order the soldiers and civilians to round up along the way. Finally, in the western border area, he met King Shui Rong of Beijing who was serving in front of the army.Shui Rong already knew that this Sun Shaozu was cruel to the people and was full of evil, so regardless of his own health and weakness, he went to battle and wanted to capture Sun Shaozu alive, but unfortunately he was shot by a stray arrow in the rebellion army and died of serious injuries.That Sun Shaozu was also killed by Yin Jidong who came after him.

When the news reached the capital, everyone who heard it was surprised.Even though Jia Cong designed the whole incident, one was to uproot Sun Shaozu, in addition to this scourge, and the other was to use this to defile himself in an attempt to protect himself, who would have thought that he accidentally injured the Prince of Beijing.Hearing the news of the murder of King Shui Rong of Beijing, the emperor was also very sad. After all, he and Shui Rong had known each other since childhood, so it can be said that they grew up together. It was pity, so he decreed to forgive King Beijing's sins, allowed his coffin to return to Beijing with his family, and gave the title of King Beijing to Shui Rong's eldest son to inherit it. Years, finally looking forward to the day of his debut, but unfortunately, he will never see his husband again.On the day the coffin of King Beijing arrived in Beijing, Princess Beijing committed suicide calmly, and the husband and wife were buried together in the royal tomb.

However, among the family members who came to Beijing with the coffin, there was no sign of Tanchun. Those who followed said that the side concubine disappeared not many days after Shui Rong's death. Everyone suspected that she also died of love, so Both the Beijing Palace and Jia's Mansion set up mourning halls for Tanchun, and the court also commended him.However, Jia Cong had sharp eyes and ears in the northwest area, but he found out that Tanchun had gone far away with Yin Jidong.He kept this news secret, only told Daiyu, and never told anyone else. In fact, apart from Aunt Zhao, there was no one in the entire imperial city who still missed Tanchun. Jia Cong missed this sister. "Only since she is clear and bright and her ambition is high" is indeed not a thing in the pool, and she has something else to do.
