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

"...Report to the master, that's how things are." Fanzi half-kneeled on the ground, lowering his head firmly.

There was a breeze outside the window, and the lights swayed in the wind, and the figure sitting on the chair flickered with the lights.

Fanzi was sweating profusely under the pressure of this silence, but he didn't dare to raise his hand to wipe it off, so he had to let the sweat slide down his body.

After a long time, "How about Jingtai?"

"Just as the headmaster expected." Fanzi's eyes glowed with admiration, "The crown prince borrowed cotton clothes from the border town to pass them off as good ones, so he will dismiss Pan Zheng, the minister of the household department, Wang Tong, the minister of the military department, and other officials of the prince's party. Seeing the prince The evidence has been collected, but who knows, Jingtai personally took action to smooth out the accounts for the eldest prince's party members, and point all the evidence to the prince's uncle You Shitai."

"The prince has no choice but to leave the matter alone."

"300 million taels of silver, this old fox has such a big appetite!" Under the candlelight, Feng Zizhi revealed a part of her feminine side face, as if sighing.

「300万两之中只有30万两制造给边军的棉衣。另外270万两当中,100万进了大皇子府,80万进了景泰府,20万进了六皇子府，余下的都进了其他大皇子党人的府里。」番子顿了一顿，又道：「景泰府上的帐房、户部的吏员等所有经手的人都已经一一备案,人证、物证都已经搜集好,随时都可以上交。」

"Not enough." Feng Zizhi played with Qiongyu, the waist pendant around his waist, "A mere 300 million taels is not enough to kill Jingtai and the eldest prince at once."

He closed his eyes slightly, thinking deeply.

Now there are only three people who have the strength to fight for the big position on the surface: the crown prince, the eldest prince, and the ninth prince.

Although the crown prince has been unpopular in recent years, there are still many veterans who support him, and even the [-] elites of the Six Commanders of the Eastern Palace are behind him;

The eldest prince has a good reputation in the military, he has Jingtai as his backing, and he has [-] Fengtai soldiers in his hands;

Concubine Hui, the mother concubine of the Ninth Prince, is the most favored, and the Eighth Prince wins over civil servants for him, and the Tenth Prince wins over the military for him, but there are no soldiers at hand.

"Let the people in the sixth prince's mansion move, our family wants to hear the news that the eldest prince intends to get involved in the military power of the imperial horse supervisor."

The First Prince had the most soldiers and horses in his hands, if he was allowed to have a hand in the hands of the Imperial Horse Supervisor, some people might not be able to sleep, and the Emperor would not be able to sit still.

"Yes. In addition..." Fanzi hesitated to speak, as if he had thought of something, but he didn't know whether he should say it or not.

Feng Zizhi frowned.

Fanzi was startled, and immediately said: "When Yixin was waiting for the prince to meet guests in the East Palace, he seemed to see a...a young man who looked somewhat similar to the head of the class, and he even mentioned the head of the class with the prince in his words. The servant went to check I found out that the young man called He Ziyu was the nephew of He Nian, the magistrate of Changsha. Because the emperor opened the Jia Enke in March, he was the candidate to go to Beijing for the exam. I heard that He Nian's first sister was abducted when she was young. After searching, I found that Mrs. He was married and died of illness. He Nian took pity on his nephew, so he took him back and raised him as his own son."

Ah!She was supposed to die of illness, and a woman who had been in the Jiaofang Division would have no good end if she didn't die.

After a short but long silence, Feng Zizhi smiled.

He? Zi? Yu...

Feng? Zi? Yu.

He didn't even change his name.

How could he forget those who killed his kind and cowardly mother!

Ho's.

When he was young, he was pinned tightly in the closet by the maid, and watched as she led several burly women to pour a bowl of hot Hedinghong into his mother's mouth.

His mother never cared about her death, but his father...Feng Sui didn't pay any attention to it. He just cut off the tongues of all the servants who served his mother during his lifetime and sold them out.

Later, the He family was restored, and all the bastards she gave birth to became legitimate sons.

However, one day, that bastard will not be his legal son after all.

Speaking of which, he still has to thank Jingtai, the eldest prince and others.

If they hadn't focused on the position of Feng Sui's servant of the household department, causing his whole family to be copied, he might not even have his life now.

However, what he should be most grateful for is that God let him meet Xiao Lian on the street.

Thinking of Jia Lian, Feng Zizhi couldn't help but relieve the icy coldness and deep hostility in his eyes.

During that dark time, if he hadn't been supported by the only good memory of meeting Xiao Lian, he might not have survived that knife.Afterwards, if it wasn't for Xiao Lian, the emperor would not have asked him to enter the inner study hall, and Eunuch Dai would not have looked at him differently. He didn't need to mention any revenge, and he would die at the mouth of an abandoned well in the palace within a month. inside.

He casually raised the corners of his lips, and opened his lips slightly: "Send someone to keep an eye on him." A trace of deep hostility and coldness flashed in his beautiful black eyes.

Why, males aged 14 or under in the Feng family had to enter the palace to purify themselves as slaves, and males aged 15 or above could be exiled from the army.

Why, those who killed him, his mother, and his grandmother can get away with it.

Let's see what this bastard wants to do, anyway, he has plenty of time to play slowly with him.

Jia She's yard

"Snapped!"

After taking off the smock of going forward, Jia Lian sat down on the table, folded his arms and casually raised one leg to rest on the edge of the table, and spoke in a deep voice.

"Speak! Who taught you to speak these bastards!"

Jia Amnesty was so frightened by his younger brother that he trembled all over, and he didn't have the majesty of being an older brother.

Fortunately, when Jia Lian locked himself in the same room as Jia She, he had already sent Xiao Zhang, Jia Hu, and Xiao Jia Lian away.

Jia Amnesty licked his face, and leaned against Jia Lian as if to please him, pinching his shoulders and beating his legs so badly.

Jia Lian came from the battlefield of blood and fire, so he was completely unaffected by his tricks, and scolded him like hell: "I dare not even say such rebellious words! How many heads do you have? Is it enough to chop off! If you die, you will implicate sister-in-law, Hu'er and Lian'er!"

"I won't tell you now, they will also lose their heads in the future." Jia Amnesty also stopped working, facing Jia Lian and asked seriously: "Brother, do you believe in brother?"

Jia Lian was a little unaccustomed to his sudden seriousness, and raised his sword-shaped eyebrows, which seemed to be very novel.

"If you have something to say, just say it."

Jia She swallowed his saliva, and said slowly: "Your brother, I have already died once."

"Hmph! Don't worry, I will never let go of Gongsun Xu and Wen Shengji, the two tortoise sons. I will find you a place sooner or later. Today is for the prince's sake, or else...huh!" Jia Lian I just thought he was talking about being knocked unconscious by a horse.

"Not this!" Jia She denied his words.

"What?" Jia Lian frowned, "During my expedition, did anyone dare to attack you? Who was it? The one from Rongxi Hall? The second child? Or someone else?" She never called Shi Shi her mother again.

"Even though it missed, it's not far away." Jia She was playing with words at this time.

Jia Lian's pupils shrank, and he growled, "Damn it!" He stomped on the edge of the table, smashing the hard mahogany table to pieces.The whole person jumped to the ground, and was so aggressive that he wanted to crush Shi and Jia Zheng to death.

"Don't, don't, don't!" Jia Amnesty didn't expect his rare elegance to provoke such a big reaction from Jia Lian, so he hurriedly dragged Jia Lian like an octopus with both hands and feet.

"It's not them!!!" Jia Lian almost screamed.

"Hey! You should have said it earlier! Say half and swallow half!" Jia Lian stopped immediately, and threw Jia She back on the chair in disgust, while he leaned half against the wall.Jia Amnesty just took a turn at the gate of death, so Jia Lian is very sensitive to this matter now, which is why he reacted so strongly.

Is it his fault?Jia Amnesty had to be dumb and eat coptis.

"It should be said... I died more than 40 years later, and I lived again, living to myself more than 40 years ago." Jia She tried to tell Jia Lian what happened to him in the simplest language.

"You mean... rebirth?" Jia Lian stared intently at Jia She, trying to see that this was Jia She's new way of playing.

"That's right! That's right! It's rebirth!" Jia She slapped his legs and exclaimed.

"Master died early next year due to a relapse of old injuries. Before he died, he handed over a letter to the emperor, begging the emperor to reward the second son with a foreigner from the Ministry of Fifth-Rank Industry, and I will be promoted to the rank of first-class general. Overlord the Rongxi Hall and refused to move out, and even ordered the second couple to move in to serve the marquis. The younger sister married Lin Ruhai, and gave birth to a son, but I don’t know why, and then there was only one girl named Daiyu. He also died. Lin Ruhai sent her daughter to our house, and the old lady raised her with Baoyu, and she was thinking of marrying her to Baoyu. Baoyu is the child that the second daughter-in-law is pregnant with now, born with Hanyu , the old lady hugged him to her knees and raised him, like a baby girl..." Jia Xie babbled for a long time, without beginning or end, saying whatever he remembered, which Jia Lian could hear. My head hurts.

When Jia Lian saw that he looked serious and spoke seriously, he couldn't help being shaken, half-believing and half-doubting.

While listening, he took the time to ask a few questions, and Jia Amnesty answered them flawlessly.

"Finally... the emperor ordered me to communicate with foreign officials, take up lawsuits, bully the weak, live up to the grace of the gods, and have the virtue of my ancestors. Therefore, I was resigned and sent to the army. I am so old, how have I ever suffered like this? No, now that I think about it, I should be on the way to exile, and I was exhausted." Jia Amnesty said with reddened eyes.

When he stopped, Jia Lian asked the biggest flaw in what he just said: "What about me? You just said so much but didn't have anything about me. If I'm here, as long as I'm not If you seek to usurp the throne, even if you continue to murder and set fires, it is heinous, no matter what, you will not be sent to the army." Jia Lian is quite confident about this.

"... In your last life, you died when you were just born." After Jia She answered quickly, he said in doubt, "I don't know why many things in this life are different from those in the previous life. At this time, my wife had already passed away from illness. Hu My son also... that Eunuch Dai Quan is not the chief eunuch of the ceremonial supervisor, but the inner eunuch in charge of the Daming Palace, and there are many other things that are different."

Jia Lian nodded, determined to believe Jia's amnesty.

First, he could hear the sadness in Jia She's words just now; second, he was born with dystocia, so it is possible to die young; third, and the most important point, with Jia She's IQ How could one concoct such a profound vocabulary as the head of the palace of the Ming Dynasty!

Based on the above three points, Jia Lian has every reason to fully believe that Jia Amnesty has been "reborn".

but……

"Based on your virtues, I fully believe in the three points of bullying the weak, failing to live up to the grace of God, and being virtuous. However, do you have the wisdom and courage to communicate with diplomats and take up lawsuits?" Jia Lian swore that he was only based on the facts Ask objective questions, absolutely without any malicious personal attacks... ok!There is a little bit.

Originally, after telling everything, Jia She was afraid that he would be burned to death as a monstrous evildoer, but at this moment he couldn't help but die for a while, this is his own brother! !

"...Although I was a nobleman at the beginning, all the seals and name cards were in the hands of the old lady. Huh! If the old lady is with you, it is in the hands of the second hand! It must be the second child who is using my seal name card to swindle outside , trying to frame me! I already knew that this second child is not good, with a beastly face, a knife hidden in a smile, despicable and shameless..." Jia She became energetic when he mentioned this, and kept putting all the most vicious words he knew on Jia political body.

"Okay." Jia Lian shook him up helplessly, "With me in this life, do you still need to be afraid of him?"

"The most important thing now is what's behind the death of sister-in-law and Hu'er."

"Yes!" Jia She also thought when he dreamed back at midnight, if his first wife and eldest son were still there, he would never be as absurd as he is now.

"The doctor said that the madam died of illness due to Yao Shiwan's illness, but there must be something else wrong. And Hu'er...was found in the lake one month after his mother died..." Jia Shen gritted his teeth, "I want to find out what happened. At that time, the servants who served Madam and Hu'er were either transferred back to the ancestral residence in Jinling by the Wang family, or were beaten to death by the old lady!"

Jia Lian punched the wall hard, the wall trembled slightly, and the place hit by Jia Lian's fist was obviously sunken, forming the shape of a fist, and spider webs formed by black lines surrounded the fist and appeared on the wall vividly. .

How dare they?How dare they! !

Forget about the sister-in-law, but Huer is their grandson and nephew!

He is so young, so smart, so well-behaved, and so sensible!

How could they be willing to do it! ! ? ?

"I'll transfer Nanny Qi back to take care of the yard for you so that my sister-in-law can rest in peace. Stop drinking the medicine that my sister-in-law used to drink. Everything follows the doctor Zheng's prescription. Open a small kitchen in the yard Let’s go! If someone is unhappy, tell him to come to me. From today on, Hu’er and Lian’er can’t be short of people, ranging from three or four to as many as ten or so. Leave." Jia Lian could only think of so much for a while.

"En." Jia Lian also thought it was reasonable.

"Then, the crown prince is abolished, and the emperor abdicates to..." He is now completely convinced by this younger brother. Now that the internal affairs are settled, the external affairs...maybe they can also do a good job, so that they can completely avoid ransacking the house in the future. It's over!

"Hush!" Jia Lian said solemnly, "Don't tell me about this, and you must keep your mouth shut to others."

Why?It is natural not to reveal that others know, Jia Amnesty is afraid that he will be burned to death!

But why not tell my brother?Jia Amnesty didn't understand.

"You also said that many things are different in this life. So the crown prince may not... the one in your life may not be able to succeed." Jia Lian was very cautious, "The battle for the heir apparent is dangerous and unpredictable. Even if just one of them is different, the outcome of the whole thing will be very different.”

"If you tell me, I have a wrong judgment in my heart, then... the consequences will be disastrous."

With Jia Amnesty's IQ, he understands the consequences. It's hard to say that it is possible to confiscate his family and send him to the frontiers, and even die more deeply and exterminate his family than in his previous life.

The whole person shuddered and nodded fiercely in a hurry.

For the next few days, when Jia Lian spent time behind closed doors, Jia Lian either practiced martial arts with Ran Feng and the others, playing with little Jia Lian and Jia Hu.But secretly, his contact with the outside world has never been broken.

"Now the princes are confronting each other more and more." Under the lamplight, the soft and beautiful eunuch drank the tea gracefully.

"It's best to cut everyone to death with a knife. Whoever survives can sit there." Jia Lian raised one leg and lay down on the bed without calling him.

"Xiao Lian, you are fifteen years old this year." Feng Zizhi stared intently at the pattern on the side of the teacup in his hand, as if he could see a flower.

"Almost!" Jia Lian closed his eyes and put his hands behind his legs.

"..." Feng Zizhi lowered his eyes, and said in his usual voice: "That old fox Jingtai persuaded the eldest prince to betroth the Pearl Princess under his knee to you." But the hand holding the tea cup couldn't help but exert force.

"I don't want to marry." Jia Lian flatly refused.

"The eldest prince agreed and has already sent someone to speak to Rong Guogong. Rong Guogong is still thinking about it."

Marriage matters, parents' order, matchmaker's words, as long as Jia Daishan decides, Jia Lian has no room to resist.

"I'm not his son anymore! Why should he decide my marriage?" Jia Lian stood up suddenly.

"What Rong Guogong said in the hospital that day was just angry words. In my opinion, the eldest prince's attitude is very tough. Rong Guogong will nod his approval no matter what." Feng Zizhi turned to Jia Lian sideways, with a strand of long hair Hanging down, Jia Lian couldn't see his expression clearly.

"Princess Mingzhu is the eldest prince's concubine's daughter. She looks like a flower and jade, and has a cheerful disposition. She is very pleased with the emperor, so she is bestowed the position of princess."

After a pause, some paleness appeared on his face: "I have to congratulate you for getting this beautiful family."

"What are you talking about!?" Hearing these words, Jia Lian felt angry and sour for some reason, "I don't care who this Pearl Princess is, I just won't marry!"

"Besides, who cares about being his son!? Let him settle the marriage that he promised himself. Anyway, I will never marry!" Jia Lian said firmly.

Feng Zizhi felt a little relieved, but after thinking it over and over again, he asked, "Then...then who do you want to marry?"

"Hmm..." Jia Lian was taken aback for a moment, he really had never thought about it before, and immediately fell into deep thought.

Feng Zizhi felt a pain in his heart when he saw that he was seriously thinking about what his future wife would look like.His face became paler, and his body, which had been icy all year round due to practicing Bing Xin Jue, also became chillier.

I only felt a sweetness in my throat, but I swallowed it back into my stomach abruptly.

"I want to marry..."
