Weiyang of the Red Mansion

Jia Lian glanced at the thoughtful Wang Jun, curled his lips slightly, put away his smile and got up and said, "I just returned to Beijing, and I still have some trivial matters at home, so I won't stay any longer. When Brother Zhu gets married, let's have a good drink." A glass."

Wang Jun came back to his senses and got up to see him off.

In mid-October, the concubine of the lord of the Rongguo government gave birth to a son, whom the lord named Jia Huan.

Although Mr. Zheng has added a son, he is only a concubine after all, born of a son in the mansion, and the status of the eldest son and second son from the main family is very different. Jia Zhu is about to marry, Rongguo government Most of the master's thoughts are on the eldest son.

Jia Zhu's wife was also selected by him with great pains. The daughter of Li Shouzhong, the Imperial College Jijiu, was a famous eunuch in Jinling.It's just that after Li Shouzhong took charge of the family, he only said that "a woman has virtue without talent". She doesn't have much talent and name, but after all, she is the daughter of a famous eunuch in Jinling, and her father is the Imperial Academy Jijiu, so she will surely help Jia Zhu in the future.

The seventeenth day of the winter moon is a good day for Jia Zhu. Wang Jun is Jia Zhu's cousin, and he is invited to go to Li's house with Jia Zhu to welcome the bride.

Wang Jun is a juvenile candidate. Although Jia Zhu married his wife today, he has received no less attention than Jia Zhu.

But today Wang Jun didn't want to take away Jia Zhu's demeanor, so he tried his best to reduce his sense of presence, but nothing happened after all.

In the evening, when Jia Zhu returned to the house, Wang Jun, as a cousin, took Jia Lian to stop the group of peers who were planning to build a new house.

When he returned to the mansion, Wang Jun was already slightly drunk from drinking, his cheeks were flushed, he washed himself hastily, and then rested.

Just two days after Jia Zhu got married, news came from the court that this year he was going to go hunting in the suburbs of Beijing for winter.

The Wang family was not included in the invitation to keep their filial piety, but because of Wang Jun's outstanding talent, he had already attracted the attention of several His Highnesses, so Wang Jun was also allowed to participate.

At the end of the month, Wang Jun, along with Jia Lian and Jia Zhu from the Jia family, and Jia Zhen and his son from Jia's East Mansion, followed Sheng Jia to the suburbs of Beijing.

"I heard that His Majesty's Eucharist violated the agreement. Why did you suddenly go hunting in the suburbs of Beijing?" Wang Jun asked Jia Lian.

Jia Lian is now with his uncle Master Zhang, so he is better informed than Wang Jun.

"I'm not too sure. Uncle didn't tell me, but it seems to have something to do with the Eighth Prince. I heard that the Eighth Prince brought it up first."

Wang Jun frowned upon hearing the words, "I'm afraid there may be a big problem with this winter hunt."

"What's the matter?" Seeing that Wang Jun's expression was not good, Jia Lian reined in and walked side by side with Wang Jun, asking in a low voice.

Wang Jun glanced around, smiled wryly, "There are too many people, let's talk about it when we get to the palace."

After hearing this, Jia Lian felt even worse.

Thinking of the increasingly fierce competition between the several His Highnesses in the past two years, he couldn't help but feel terrified, and lowered his voice, "Could it be those..."

"Ahem!" Wang Jun coughed twice and stared at Jia Lian.

Jia Lian smiled embarrassingly, but remained silent.

In the afternoon, when we arrived at the palace, we each packed our bags and stayed there for the time being. Some went to the woods to hunt first, but this was not counted in the hunting results.

Wang Jun thought that it was freezing cold today, and his sister was young, so why not hunt some foxes and make a fox fur cloak for her.

Carrying the quiver and bow and arrow, he rode into the forest. Wang Jun has practiced martial arts for many years, and he also practiced the unique art of the Xiaoyao School.

In the evening, Wang Jun took a few foxes and went back to his residence satisfied. He asked someone he knew to help him peel off the fur of the foxes. As for the meat, he stewed it for him to eat.

The next day, when Jia Lian came to look for Wang Jun, he saw the peeled fox fur in his room, and grinned, "So you are the young man whom the old masters said was so powerful."

"what?"

Jia Lian then told Wang Jun what he heard when he passed by just now, "I didn't expect you to have the intention to go hunting yesterday afternoon, but why is it all fox fur?"

"I just want to make a fox fur cloak for my younger sister. Of course I'm going hunting with foxes."

Hearing this, Jia Lian was startled, "Sister?"

"how?"

Jia Lian thought for a while and said, "Speaking of which, I haven't seen your sister for many years. If you don't mention it, I almost forgot that you have a sister."

Wang Jun smiled and said nothing, and took a sip of tea, "You should be more careful when hunting today, especially the father and son in your East Mansion. Jia Zhen saw that his body was hollowed out by wine and sex. As for his son, his age He's still young, so there won't be any accidents at that time, he's the only elder brother of your Dongfu's first wife, isn't he?"

"Who would stare at the two of them!" Jia Lian actually looked down on the father and son of Dongfu, but since Wang Jun reminded him, he naturally took it to heart.

After chatting for a few words, there were already shouts outside, and Wang Jun and Jia Lian hurriedly packed up and went out.

His Majesty is unwell, and the prince will preside over this winter hunting.

Although Jia Zhen and his son came to the eastern suburbs, they just put on a show and came back not long after entering.

Although Jia Zhu had practiced inner strength and mental skills for several years, he had never practiced martial arts, so he came back empty-handed not long after entering the forest, leaving only Jia Lian and Wang Jun hunting in the forest.

"Brother, His Majesty is too sick to preside over the winter hunting, and this winter hunting is going to be held. It seems that there is a big problem with this winter hunting."

Neither of them has entered official positions yet, so they don't know the current situation in the court.

Jia Lian still knows a little bit because of his uncle, but Jia Lian is still young after all, so he won't reveal too much, at most, it will give Jia Lian some confidence.

As for Wang Jun, the second uncle was reinstated for a while when he returned to Beijing last year. With his second uncle's means, he figured out the situation in the court in a very short period of time, but he hadn't had time to do something for the Wang family. What, the old lady of the Wang family is gone, the second uncle is Ding You again, and the affairs of Beijing are handed over to Wang Jun, but Wang Jun has not entered the court after all, and his plans for the Wang family are limited, so he can only try to ensure that he will not be plotted against .

"No matter what happens, the most important thing is to protect yourself." Wang Jun said to Jia Lian with a serious expression.

He originally thought that no matter how tense the situation in the DPRK was, it had nothing to do with him. After all, the Wang family is now in observance of filial piety, and the Wang family cannot be implicated in any way.

Unexpectedly, it was still involved.

This winter hunt, I'm afraid there will be bloodshed.

He is only fortunate now that none of the female family members of the Wang family have come over because of filial piety, and Wang Ren has not been able to catch the eyes of these people, so he is the only one involved in the Wang family. If he is the only one, he is still sure to get out , It’s just that he may not be able to take care of the Jia family. He just hopes that the Jia family will have better luck.

Seeing Wang Jun speak so seriously, Jia Lian did not dare to ignore it.

The next few days of hunting were uneventful, but Wang Jun did not relax his vigilance, but became more nervous.

This is the calm before the storm.

Late at night on the fifth day of winter hunting, Wang Jun heard a sound of fighting, and immediately opened his eyes and turned over to sit up. In the past few days, he slept with his clothes on to prevent accidents, so when he opened his eyes, he immediately lifted the quilt Getting out of bed, holding the sword beside the bed, he walked to Jia Lian's residence with Lingbo microsteps, and called Jia Lian and his brothers.

"Brother Wang?" Jia Zhu was still a little dazed when she was called up. Seeing Wang Jun holding a sword in his hand, she couldn't help but shivered, "What are you doing?"

"Something happened in the palace," Wang Jun didn't know what happened now, he only knew that there was a fight in the palace, he turned his head and said to Jia Lian with a serious expression, "I'll leave the Jia family to you, I'll go over and see what happened. What's the matter, if I don't come back, I will hide with a few familiar family members, if I can't hide..."

"Let's fight!" Jia Lian rolled over and sat up, with sharp eyebrows and eyes.

After all, he was taught by Wang Jun. At critical times, he is more reliable than Jia Zhu.

"I'm leaving!" Seeing that Jia Lian understood what he meant, Wang Jun left the house, and walked towards the palace with Lingbo microsteps.

Wang Jun was wearing a black brocade robe today, and he moved in the dark like a ghost, silently, no one could notice that he was approaching the palace.

After distinguishing the direction, Wang Jun went straight to the direction of the fire, only to see the flames on the east side of the palace, which meant that someone was setting fire.

Standing on top of the eaves not far away, Wang Jun could clearly see several people lying in a pool of blood in the opposite palace.

The prince, the concubine...the entire family of the prince was killed.

Wang Jun gasped, feeling a chill down his back.

In recent years, His Majesty has intentionally supported the Third Prince, Eighth Prince and Ninth Prince to restrain the Crown Prince. Although the Crown Prince has become more and more anxious these years, when it comes to governing the government, the Crown Prince is still the best. The Third Prince and other princes are more suitable to be assistants. The prince, not the emperor.

Before the second uncle went to Jinling, he told him that His Majesty was afraid that he would give the crown prince the throne, either this year or next year. He never expected that the whole family of the prince would be killed during the winter hunting.

The fire was getting bigger and bigger, and some people had already noticed the light of the fire. Many palace people rushed to put out the fire, but the fire was already full and could not be extinguished at all, not to mention... the people inside were already dead.

Wang Jun closed his eyes, let himself calm down, and analyzed which prince made the move.

The third prince is gentle and elegant. Although he has confronted the prince many times over the years, he has not yet reached the point where he cannot stop dying.

The eighth prince has always been a courteous and virtuous corporal, and his supporters in the court are second only to the prince. He is also the person who has the most enemies with the prince, but before his second uncle left Beijing, he said that the eighth prince had secretly taken refuge in the prince.

He believed that the second uncle's judgment would not be wrong.

Then, if it's not the third prince, it's not the eighth prince, it's... the ninth prince.

The Ninth Prince has always been brave and good at fighting. Most of the people who supported him were military generals. Most of the nobles were won over by the Ninth Prince. If he wanted to kill the Prince's family and set fire to the palace like this, only a person who is good at martial arts can do it.

It is likely that the Ninth Prince knew that His Majesty wanted the Zen seat for the Crown Prince, so he jumped over the wall in a hurry, and did not stop doing anything, so he simply killed the entire Prince's family.

No, no, the Ninth Prince will not be able to escape if he is found out, so...

not good!

Your Majesty is in danger!

Wang Jun held his sword and quickly rushed towards the palace where His Majesty lived. As soon as he reached the gate of the palace, he saw a pile of corpses. The guard had been killed.

With a sinking heart, Wang Jun tightened the sword in his hand, walked lightly into the palace, and heard angry shouts from inside.

"Mo Song!! You bastard with no king and no father!!"
