[Red Mansion] Let's listen to a general's order

"You use this mouth to provoke Wen Shengji to harm my brother?"

He casually pulled off the hairpin on Gongsun Xu's head crown, and inserted it into his cheek from the side in an instant, making a crisp and neat piercing.

A hairpin pierced straight through Gongsun Xu's mouth, and protruded from the other cheek. The pain caused Gongsun Xu to spit out tears, nose and so on.

Jia Lian didn't stop moving, grabbed a handful of gravel from the ground and stuffed it into Gongsun Xu's mouth, and finally covered his mouth tightly to prevent him from spitting out the gravel.

Gongsun Xu was forced to swallow a mouthful of gravel, not to mention the pain on his cheek, but to say that when the fine, hard, sharp gravel passed through his fragile throat, it unceremoniously drew scars one after another.I'm afraid that in the future, even if the appearance of the face can be restored, the severely damaged throat will be difficult to speak normally.

The struggling Gongsun Xu was so loud that even Wen Shengji, who had passed out, was awakened. After all, he was born as a real general, but he was tougher than Gongsun Xu. He howled miserably and cursed: "Jia San! You bastard! You Wait...ah...I will never forgive you...Father and aunt will avenge me..." His right cheek has been ruined by Jia Lian, and now even his left and right hands have been smashed by Jia Lian Minced meat, this feud is irreconcilable.

Suddenly, the sound of gongs and drums sounded, and a thin voice shouted: "The prince is coming, everyone kneels to welcome him!"

"Eldest Prince, Fourth Prince, Sixth Prince, Seventh Prince, Eighth Prince, Ninth Prince, and Tenth Prince are here!"

Ran Feng, Chi Cang and the others were all taken aback, they all looked at Jia Lian to see his attitude.

The prince was furious at the moment.Emperor Wen of Zhou listened for a while to the crown prince, the princes, and all the officials in the court reporting the big and small affairs that happened in the court when he was away. come out with a pose.However, he was getting old after all, and when he was young, he could listen to him for three days and three nights with just a pot of strong tea, but now he lost energy after listening for half a day, so he waved his hand to let the prince and others back down.

The general age of all the officials was also about the same as that of Emperor Wen of Zhou. They left the city early in the morning, and chatted with Emperor Wen of Zhou for a long time after returning to the city. As soon as they left the palace, each of them dispersed to go to the on-duty, the office. , go home, go home.The crown prince was at odds with those wolf cub brothers who wanted to tear him off the throne all day long. After two tricks with a hidden smile on the face of each other, when he was about to return to the East Palace, a servant was panting ran to himself.

Seeing that something important was happening, the princes naturally stopped and stretched their ears.

The prince recognized him as the servant next to his beloved side concubine, and reprimanded him: "You are in a hurry, how decent! Go to the House of Internal Affairs to get ten boards yourself." Thinking of his beloved side concubine, the prince said there was still Swallow the stomach in a good manner and learn the rules.

Hearing the words "House of Internal Affairs", the servant trembled in fright, but he still remembered the heavy responsibility he shouldered, so he knelt down and reported: "His Royal Highness, the fifth-rank Zhaolie General Jia Lian led his own soldiers to fight against the bandits." General's Mansion, kill anyone you see!" This servant is also considered smart, seeing the other princes standing not far away watching them, he dare not say that his concubine sent for help, and he dare not add embellishments, for fear of harming the prince If he lost face, the crown prince wanted him to lose his life.

But in fact, as soon as he said this, everyone already knew what should be known.

"Presumptuous!!" The prince uttered these two words fiercely through his teeth with a livid face.

Who doesn't know that Gongsun Yue's daughter is the crown prince's side concubine, and the Gongsun mansion is a staunch supporter of the crown prince.No matter what the cause of the incident was, Jia Lian led his own soldiers to attack Li Tianyue, the prince of a country, in the face of Li Tianyue.

"Showing off the mansion of General Chao Kou, I just want to offer incense sticks for General Kou Kou!" The crown prince waved his sleeves fiercely, and he wanted to see if Jia Lian, a brat who didn't know the heights of heaven and earth, dared to act presumptuously in front of him.

The prince left angrily, and the rest of the princes, except for the fifth prince Li Tianqi, who was wise and wise and went into the harem to look at his mother and concubine with winking eyes, were all looking at me and I looking at you, smiling at each other, and tacitly said goodbye to each other. Get in the car and tell the coachman to follow the prince's guard of honor and drive towards Gongsun Mansion.

When he came to Gongsun's mansion, he saw the main gate broken in two and the body of the side gate, the prince was furious immediately.

This is a naked slap in the face!

Although Jia Lian's slap didn't hit him on the face, the prince still felt the pain in his cheek.

Walking a few steps inside, I saw the servants of the guard lying on the ground, and the two unkempt and embarrassing figures in silk and satin in the middle of the courtyard.Of course, the crown prince did not miss Feng Zizhi and Ran Feng who were standing beside him. He just focused most of his attention on his target——Jia Lian.

The thick bloody smell of blood, mixed with the pungent sour smell of vomit, makes people can't help covering their noses.

"Bold! Your Highness the Crown Prince is here, how dare you not bow down!! This is a crime of disrespect!!!" The servant with a high-pitched voice gave the Prince a flattering look, and then ordered the guards around him to pretend: " Before you can wait, hurry up and send this group of people who have no dignity or inferiority to commit crimes and send them to prison!"

The guards on the left and right carefully looked at the prince's face, and seeing that the prince had no intention of objecting, they were about to lead their men forward to take Jia Lian and the others under custody.

"His Royal Highness, there may be another misunderstanding, why don't you let General Zhao Lie explain first." The fourth prince Li Tianyan raised his hand to plead with the prince. Of course, he was not referring to the "crime of disrespect" committed by Jia Lian.All the intelligent people present knew that this "crime of disrespect" was just an excuse by the prince.

"Hey! They are all dead, what misunderstanding can there be? Fourth, you are too open-eyed to talk nonsense." Ninth Prince Li Tianlang said with a snort. He looked at Jia Lian's eyes and did not know what he was thinking. .

"That's right! Don't you look at him, the fourth son, who dares to do something to the uncle's cousin! It's unreasonable to beat him like this! Are you all dead? Why don't you hurry up and take them all together?" Exit!!" The tenth prince Li Tianying was furious.

Li Tianyan was annoyed and was about to open his mouth to reprimand Li Tianlang and Li Tianying for being disrespectful, but the Eighth Prince Li Tianjin jumped out to finish the fight.

He pretended to reprimand: "What are you talking about, little nine and ten? Even though fourth brother is approachable, you can't call him old four. If Concubine Hui and Concubine Shu find out, see if they don't punish you for copying. Book of Rites ten times." Turning his head, he smiled gently at Li Tianyan, "Fourth brother, you have a lot of adults, so don't worry about Xiao Jiu and Xiao Shi."

Li Tianyan was blocked by Li Tianjin like this, what else could he say but a cold snort.

Li Tianjin was not complacent when she saw that she had successfully blocked the most cold-faced and ruthless fourth brother back. She still had a virtuous look on her face, but she was secretly worried: "With Xiao Jiu's temperament, even if he can tear the prince down, so what?" Can you push him up?" Forget it, Li Tianying didn't expect much from him anyway, but Li Tianlang, the core of the Nine Princes' Party, was even disqualified for the most basic art of emperors. No wonder Li Tianjin would be worried about this.

"Shut up, everyone!" On the way, the prince already knew the reason why Jia Lian would kill Gongsun's mansion, but he didn't take it seriously.

"Fourth! Now the fact is that Jia's son is extremely vicious. He was fighting against the bandits for his country. He died in the battle. When his bones were still cold, he ran amok, entered the house to kill people, bullied orphans and widows, and trampled on the laws of the Zhou Dynasty. This crime cannot be punished!" In the crown prince's opinion, so what if Gongsun Xu killed Jia Amnesty himself?Gongsun Xu is the brother-in-law of his dignified prince and the prince of a country. Although he is not comparable to those famous families, he can be regarded as an upstart relative.His elder sister is the side concubine of the current prince and the noble concubine in the future, and maybe there will be even greater fortunes.A white body, an ignorant dude, he died when he died, let alone never died at all.

What's more, what's the crime of Gongsun Xu?It's just a few words, although Jia Lian has some sacred favors and made some military exploits, what is it?Can it be compared to his highness the crown prince?

But this Jia Lian dared not to take him seriously and make things worse!

Apart from being in front of Emperor Wen of Zhou, even those ambitious brothers had to respect him three points on the surface.

Facing the imposing prince, Li Tianyan hesitated.

As long as Emperor Zhou Wen didn't issue an edict to abolish the crown prince's position as the crown prince, the crown prince would remain the crown prince after all.In terms of status, the prince is the emperor, and he is a minister; in terms of power, the prince has the support of many princes and the party, but he only has the support of a few small officials here and there.Moreover, in front of Emperor Zhou Wen, the prince's family members were much stronger than him.It should be said that as long as there is a prince, the princes will look like stepfathers in front of Emperor Wen of Zhou.It is really easy for the prince to deal with himself.

After he glanced at Feng Zizhi calmly, seeing that Feng Zizhi didn't express anything, his eyes darkened slightly.

For helping Jia Lian, Feng Zizhi, Wang Yi, Rongguo Mansion, and Ningguo Mansion may not be grateful and take refuge in themselves.On the contrary, the prince will definitely hate himself because of this, and keep suppressing himself.

After thinking about gains and losses for a round, Li Tianyan pursed his lips slightly and took a step back, which was considered a compromise.

Feng Zizhi didn't show it on his face, but he was thinking a lot in his heart.

The crown prince looked at Li Tianyan's compromise with satisfaction, and shouted sharply: "Jia Lian! You are so courageous! How dare you start a massacre in the general's residence? Could it be that you are planning to rebel and want to rebel?"

"His Royal Highness..." Jia Lian said these four words very slowly, "Don't think that someone is afraid of you if you are the prince. You'd better find out the reason of the matter clearly, and don't be rebellious. .”

He tossed Wen Shengji and Gongsun Xu's hair, "Why am I here today, you can just ask these two sons of a bitch. It's not the family that's in trouble, they've crossed the line."

"This son of a bitch is inferior to someone in war, inferior in governing, inferior in martial arts, failed to plot against someone, ruined his face, was expelled from the Lantian Camp, but hated someone. He sent his servants to run into my brother in the downtown area. , causing my elder brother to be seriously injured and bedridden, and his life and death are uncertain.”

"This son of a bitch doesn't distinguish between good and evil, narrow-minded, and acts viciously. His father turned black and white, slandered someone, and was given to death by the emperor, but he still hated someone. He even made things up and provoked Wen Shengji to harm my brother, but he sat back The profit of a fisherman can be seen in the poison of his heart."

When Jia Lian said this, he deliberately used his internal strength to spread the sound.

Although there were guards clearing the way when the prince and others came, they could not stop the gathering of the people outside the mansion.And Gongsun Mansion is located on the west edge of the city, surrounded by all the important officials, nobles and relatives of the emperor, how dare the little guards stop the son of a scholar's family, the young master of a state's family, the young master of a general's family, What about the prince's nephew?

"Tsk tsk tsk, young master, I knew that the ugly Wen family was very good at martial arts. I didn't expect his character to be so poor! I don't even know how Changxinghou raised his son!" A certain spectator Xiaoguo said disdainfully, his father He is a first-rank Duke, but he is not afraid of the Wen family.

"I already knew from my father how despicable the Wen family is, but I just didn't expect that Gongsun Xu would play such small tricks behind his back. Even if he used a knife to kill his mother with General Jia, I wouldn't say anything. Submissive. However... I hang out with those literati a lot, and I have learned all the twists and turns of the literati. After all, I am the son of a general, but I don’t have the pride that a man should have! I am really ashamed to be with him!" A certain father The young man who was the general of Lantian Daying was full of anger.

"Bah! Don't talk nonsense, you bastard. Gongsun Xu himself is indiscriminate, insidious and cunning. What does it have to do with us!?" The son of a scholar family who was born as an orthodox scholar immediately distanced himself from Gongsun Xu. On weekdays, Gongsun Xu Although he was born in the general family, he has passed the examination of Juren, so he has also integrated into the circle of this group of literati.

The prince was furious at the moment, not only felt sorry for his supporter in the military being killed by Jia Lian, but also hated Jia Lian for not giving him face, and said angrily: "Stop talking nonsense! Jia Lian, how dare you bully me in broad daylight?" Going to the mansion of General Kou Kou to kill people, this is a matter of conclusive evidence, and I will not repeat it to you. If you have anything to say, let's go to the court to talk... Come, let me take down this rebellious minister and traitor!" The dozen or so princes After hearing this, the guards shouted in unison.

"His grandma's! I'll see who dares to touch my general today!" Ran Feng cursed, holding Fang Tian's painted halberd, and took the lead in front of the prince's guards.

As soon as Ran Feng moved, the rest of the guards stood in front of the prince's guards in unison to prevent them from arresting Jia Lian.

Chi Cang hesitated for a moment, but he also stood at the front with Qianqian and Ran Feng.

"Hey! Brother Prince, it seems that your order is not so good. A few small soldiers dare not listen, really..." Li Tianying saw her cousin's breathing became weaker and his chest was only slightly heaving, and she also became anxious.But when he came out, he didn't bring any guards, so he had to tease the prince directly, so that the prince would get angry and snatch his cousin back.

The eldest prince Li Tianhuang was pulling his younger brother Li Tianrong to watch the fire from the other side. Anyway, Jia Lian and even the Rongguo government were not his own people, and Jia Lian's husband, Wang Yi, was a real confidant of the father and emperor. No matter what, he couldn't win him over , it would be better to watch him fight the prince.

"Inverse! How dare you not even listen to Gu's order!?" The prince felt the teasing and mocking eyes from his brothers, and felt that his entire life's face had been completely lost today.

"Why are you so angry, His Royal Highness?" Li Tianjie, who had always been silent, said.

"If it is true what General Jia said, Wen Shengji and Gongsun Xu sent someone to ride a horse and hurt Rong Guogong's eldest son, causing him to be seriously injured. It was inevitable that he had not thought carefully and acted a little harshly. But General Jia was not afraid of the powerful and avenged his brother. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince took pity on him and punished the villain for him. It is a good story to spread!" Li Tianjie killed Jia Lian lightly. Going to Gongsun's mansion and seriously injuring Wen Shengji and Gongsun Xu were classified as youthful and frivolous, and even asked the prince to personally punish Wen Shengji and Gongsun Xu.

"Old Qi, it's not your turn to be a good person here!" The prince was also taken aback, but soon knew that Li Tianjie wanted to make peace for Jia Lian.

"Seventh brother, my cousin is going to marry the second daughter of Duke Shu's family in the coming year, she is your brother-in-law! How come you don't help your own family, but you have to help someone with a different surname!?" Li Tianying said with a face change.

Li Tianjie snorted coldly, "What kind of foreign surname, the same surname!? Nonsense! This time it is Wen Shengji and others who made a mistake, and they acted in such a low way, even if they quarrel in court, there will be no good results! How lucky is such a villain to be able to marry? The jewel of the Duke’s family, after this matter, I will discuss it with the Duke Shan.” Even his in-laws are gone, which shows how determined he is to keep Jia Lian.

"Old Qi! Are you determined to protect him!?" The prince's heart was burning with anger. When did this crippled brother dare to disobey him?

Li Tianjie took a step forward and stared at the prince without flinching.

"Yes." He said firmly, "Even though General Jia's shot was a bit harsher, his starting point was correct. It was Wen Shengji and Gongsun Xu who were wrong. Even if the trouble came to the father, the former younger brother said the same thing. .”

"Old Qi, you have grown up! Your wings are hard! You are so lonely!" The prince laughed back angrily, "Okay! Good! Good!"

This time, even the eldest prince Li Tianhuang, who had been fighting openly and secretly with the prince for more than 30 years, was shocked.

...is this crazy?The princes present looked at each other in blank dismay.

"Jia Lian! I order you to let go of Gongsun Xu and Wen Shengji immediately!" The prince knew that with his people here, he might not be able to win Jia Lian's more than 200 people.

Jia Lian stood in the courtyard, holding Gongsun Xu whose face was covered with blood in one hand, and Wen Shengji who was full of vigor in the other, looking at the prince and the others with hideous expressions on their faces.

"Seventh Prince, I, Jia Lian, recognize your love."

"His Royal Highness, do you want me to let you go?"

From Jia Lian's tone, the prince felt something was wrong.

He could hear Jia Lian's words "His Royal Highness", not only did not have the slightest sense of respect, but more of a mockery and a hint of mad killing intent.

"Jia Lian, let them go and speak up if you have something to say." The crown prince was afraid that Jia Lian would jump over the wall in a hurry and kill Gongsun Xu in his hand.Although Gongsun Yue is dead, Gongsun Xu is also a chess piece that can win over the army, and if something happens, even his beloved concubine will cry and mourn endlessly.

When Jia Lian heard this, he looked up to the sky and laughed, "If you have something to say, why don't you use your crown prince to order me, a rebellious minister?"

"You are the prince, you are the prince of a country, you are the future emperor, you were born to be high...I am just your humble subject, so I have to endure when I am wronged. His son of Gongsun Yue and the son of Marquis Changxing can It caused my brother almost to death, and he is still lying on the couch, unable to move. But I don't even have the right to pursue... Why, just because they are relatives of the emperor, and because his father, Gongsun Xu, is the old man of the prince, Is the elder sister the prince’s wife? Just because Wen Shengji’s aunt is the concubine Shu and his cousin is the tenth prince?”

"Gongsun Xu is the brother of the prince's wife, Wen Shengji is the cousin of the tenth prince, and I am my brother's brother!"

"The crown prince can use his power to protect his brother-in-law who has done wrong things, and the tenth prince can protect his cousin who is right or wrong. As a real brother, I can't even speak out for my brother, can I?"

Jia Lian roared like he was going crazy.

Li Tianying's complexion was very ugly, and the crown prince felt that his face was gone.

"Tenth Prince, Your Highness the Crown Prince, is this the case, tell me!"

As Jia Lian said, he punched Gongsun Xu in the chest and abdomen, and kicked Wen Shengji in the stomach, which only made the two of them spit out a mouthful of blood.

"Your brother is a brother, my brother is an inferior..."

He pressed the backs of Gongsun Xu and Wen Shengji's heads with both hands, and slammed their heads together.

Wen Shengji's left and right hands were bleeding profusely, and he was already in a coma, and he was afraid that he would die immediately after more than a quarter of an hour.

"Your Highness...help...help me..." Gongsun Xu stretched out a hand tremblingly, calling out inarticulately.

He was really scared.

He was right next to Jia Lian, and he could clearly feel the crazy killing intent coming from Jia Lian.

"Today, no one can save you." Jia Lian suddenly calmed down and said flatly.He slowly raised the long knife stuck aside.The long knife, dyed bright red and cold, shone a strange red light in the sunlight.

Li Tianying is about to go crazy. The last time she saw her cousin disfigured, is she going to watch her cousin die this time! ?

"Brother Jia Lian, don't do stupid things. If you kill my cousin, my uncle Chang Xinghou will definitely look for you desperately! Even the emperor will not protect you!"

"Yes! General Jia, calm down! I guarantee that I will not pursue today's matter. I will give you an explanation for the serious injury of Duke Rong's eldest son!" Seeing Jia Lian's seriousness, the crown prince also ignored his worst Emphasized face, quickly discouraged loudly.

But Jia Lian turned a deaf ear to it, and drew an arc in the air with the big knife in his hand, slashing at the necks of Gongsun Xu and Wen Shengji...
