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

"Cough cough! You are not recovering from your injury, so don't go to the New Year's banquet this time, and stay in the mansion to recuperate!" Jia Daishan coughed twice, full of majesty.

"No! My body has been... well..." Jia She thought his father was really worried about his injury, so he replied sharply.However, when he saw his second younger brother next to him dressed brightly and ready to go, he realized that he was being self-indulgent.

"Okay, boss! Your father is sympathetic to you, so you should take a good rest! The eldest daughter-in-law is not in good health, lest something happen to the palace and it will be troublesome." Shi said with a kind smile on his face, but in his mouth The meaning is extremely vicious.

"Brother, you and sister-in-law are sick. It's better to recuperate slowly in the mansion. Don't work too hard. Don't disappoint the good intentions of the master and the old lady." Jia Zheng stepped forward and said sincerely.

"I...I..." Jia She's gaze passed Shi Shi, Jia Zheng, and focused on Jia Daishan, making him uncomfortable.

Jia Daishan flicked his sleeves irritably, and got into the car, "That's it! Everyone stay in the mansion, Zheng'er will enter the palace for your elder brother!"

"The second brother's family help me get into the car!" Seeing Jia Daishan leaving, Shi Shi didn't bother to pretend to be a loving mother and filial son, and led Jia Zhu and Jia Yuanchun into the car.

Mrs. Wang held her hand, passed by Mrs. Zhang, and cast a glance at her both pitifully and proudly.

What about the big room?What about the eldest son and grandson?What about Rong Guogong's heir?

No, she is not favored again, sooner or later even the title will belong to her family!

Mrs. Zhang had no time to pay attention to the complacent look of her sister-in-law. For her, going to the palace to have a banquet was a blessing for her and a loss for her life.

Jia She patted Xiao Zhang's hand comfortingly, and smiled bitterly.

For him, he hadn't seen his father for decades, but he really forgot about his father's preference for the second child, and he was not used to it for a while.

Although Jia Hu didn't know what happened, she dragged little Jia Lian's hand sensibly and stood aside obediently.

"Aren't you going to enter the palace? Where are you going?" Jia Lian looked strangely as Jia She led his wife and children back with his head downcast.

He didn't want to meet Jia Daishan, Shi Shi and others, so he took a step behind, planning to wait for them to leave before entering the palace.Anyway, the time is still early, only 3:4 (about [-]:[-]).The real powerful adults did not enter the palace until [-]:[-] ([-]:[-]) at the earliest.

"The master brought the second child's family into the palace, and asked me to stay and recuperate." Jia She said sarcastically.

"Tsk!" Jia Lian frowned.

"It's okay, brother is just resting at home, so there's no need to put on a fake face to socialize with those outsiders, even if you have a meal, you won't have a good time!" Jia She pretended to smile generously, but his heart was bleeding.

"Oh?" Seeing him pretending to be generous, Jia Lian felt mischievous, and said in a pretentious way: "I wanted to ask if my brother would bring you into the palace? Since my brother is impatient to socialize, then my brother will bring his sister-in-law and two Let the nephew go to the palace for a banquet!"

As he spoke, he squatted down and picked up Jia Hu and Xiao Jia Lian with both hands respectively, turned his head and smiled at Xiao Zhang, "Sister-in-law, follow me into the palace!"

Xiao Zhang covered her mouth and smiled, knowing that Jia Lian was deliberately teasing her husband, she let go of Jia She's hand in cooperation, walked to Jia Lian's side, smiled and nodded, "Then I will trouble you, uncle."

"Yo! Don't!" Jia She was confused by this, right!Now it's not the last life. The second child has his father's support, and he also has a good brother as his backer!

He licked his face and leaned forward, "Good brother, that... that... Brother, let's go with you!" Unlike his younger brother who entered the palace without any new ideas, he really wanted to enter the palace for a banquet!That was a banquet hosted by the emperor himself!What an honor! !His cronies and dog friends might not be able to enter either! ! !Entering the palace once is enough for him to brag about for years! ! ! !

"Brother, don't wrong yourself. It doesn't matter whether you enter the palace or not." Jia Lian smiled.

Jia She shook his head desperately: "I'm not wronged! Really I'm not wronged!! It's a great honor for my brother to enter the palace!!!"

Jia Lian hugged Jia Hu and young Jia Lian, who were sensible and did not disturb them, and asked, "Hu'er, Lian'er, do you think the little uncle should bring your father into the palace?"

Jia Hu and little Jia Lian, who were used to and enjoyed being hugged by Jia Lian, consciously put their arms around Jia Lian's neck.

Facing the pitiful eyes of her father asking for help, Jia Hu's little face was flushed with shame, biting her lower lip lightly, Mo Ming felt a little ashamed.

Is this what a dear father and a strict father should do? ? ?

The New Year’s banquet held in the palace was a banquet hosted by Emperor Wen of Zhou for important officials and their families from the third rank and above, but after all, they entered the Forbidden Palace, so each family was restricted according to their official position, title, family status, and holy favor. number of people.

"Which family is it from?" Not far from the palace gate, a eunuch wearing a peacock-blue robe embroidered with boots leisurely fiddled with the teacup in his hand.

"Godfather, he belongs to Mr. Chang Kun, the Minister of Criminal Justice." A handsome servant next to him bent down and said.

"Oh, it's Fatty Chang! Let them in!" the eunuch said casually, sipping tea with a relaxed expression.

The Minister of the Ministry of Punishment, who is in charge of the world's laws and regulations, criminal laws, and slaves, is nothing more than a fat man in the eunuch's mouth.

"Yes." The servant waved his hand, signaling to the guards at the gate to let Chang Kun's family into the palace without getting into the car to search.

The servant of the punishment department raised his hand from afar to express his thanks.

Entering and leaving the palace, meeting the nobles, who knows if there will be a thief who intends to assassinate?No matter who you are before the palace gate, you have to be searched once.Even the family members had to get out of the car and be taken aside by the maid for inspection, while other guards got in the car and beat and beat to see if there were any prohibited items.

After the Chang family's carriage slowly drove into the palace gate, another family's carriage followed.

"Godfather, the carriage of Zhou Junchen from the Ministry of Rites has arrived!" The servant immediately reported to the eunuch, without even saying a word about his lord, and replaced him with that fellow, which shows his deep disgust.

"Hmph!" The eunuch snapped down the lid of the teacup, and snorted coldly, "Come on! Please get off the bus, Mr. Zhou!"

This Zhou Junchen of the Ministry of Rites was Zhou Shilang of the Ministry of Rites who led his subordinates to trample on the face of the supervisor in front of all the officials when Emperor Zhou Wen led the army back to Beijing that day.

Under the leadership of Dai Quan's ancestor, all the eunuchs in the palace have always been unanimous in dealing with the outside world, messing with one of them is equivalent to messing with eleven of them.Moreover, the eunuch Liu He, the head of the department's supervisor, is the most soft-tempered and has a good relationship with anyone. The other eunuchs have always protected him.Zhou Junchen has bullied the Twelve Inspectors of the inner court!

"Eunuch Bi..." Facing Bi Yun, Zhou Junchen didn't dare to be domineering like he bullied Liu He. This person in front of him is not easy to provoke.He quickly put on a good-natured smile, but before he could say anything, the guards pulled him off the carriage like a wolf and threw him aside roughly.

The guards separated into two and pushed Zhou Junchen to the wall, one grabbed Zhou Junchen's hands, and the other repeatedly slapped Zhou Junchen's body parts to "check" whether he was carrying murder weapons and other prohibited items.

A guard rushed into the carriage and rummaged through the boxes, throwing snacks, coats and other things in the hidden compartment out of the carriage one by one, "copying the carriage" like a house raid.

"What are you doing? My father is Ribu Zhou...Ah! How dare you hit me?" There was a carriage behind Zhou Junchen's carriage carrying Zhou Junchen's son and daughter, and it was Zhou Junchen's son's cry that was heard at this time.

"Ah!!! Let go of me!!"

Seeing the guards showing their prestige, the maids were unwilling to be robbed of the opportunity to show their faces in front of Eunuch Bi, and they were all very enthusiastic, and abruptly tore Miss Zhou's family out of the car, ignoring that she was scared to death. With a pale face, she was rudely but carefully pushed behind a screen under the shadow of the palace gate.

And where did the driver of the two carriages go?Naturally, he was beaten to the ground by the guards as early as when they met each other.

This group of guards dressed in the costumes of the palace guards are actually Bi Yun's seconded sons from Dongchang. Naturally, they are not as timid as ordinary guards, and they are extremely mobile.Dongchang is not full of internal servants from top to bottom. Many peripheral fans or low-level officials are recruited by ordinary people who have no father or mother and are cruel enough.

"Bi Yun, you traitor! What do you want to do to my sons and daughters!? I, I, and I will join forces with all the officials to kill you all!!!" Zhou Junchen glared at each other when his son was beaten and his daughter was taken to nowhere. Gritting his teeth again.

Seeing that Zhou Junchen looked like he wanted to tear him apart, Bi Yun was very happy. He picked up the teacup slowly and said solemnly: "Mr. Zhou, what are you talking about? The maid and guard are just taking Mr. Zhou and Miss Zhou to a secluded place It's just a careful inspection. Thanks to the emperor's love, our family is responsible for the safety of the palace gate today. Our family must be loyal to the emperor's affairs, but we will do our best and die. We must guard the palace for the emperor no matter what. The emperor's body is in the safety of the world , You can’t be too careful! Does Lord Zhou think so too?”

Zhou Junchen was enraged by Bi Yun's eccentric words: "Bi Yun! I have no grudges with you in the past, and I have no grudges in the past! Why do you make things so difficult for my family!?"

Bi Yun snorted disdainfully. Even though he was surrounded by his own people, he would not take it seriously. He opened his eyes and said plainly: "Mr. Zhou is a noble person who is forgetful, but that is just a trivial matter, so don't worry about it. We You have to believe that our family is really wholeheartedly for the emperor, for the great Zhou, and for the safety of the world!" Zhou Junchen, the third-rank servant of the Ministry of Rites who just took office, if he hadn't fought brainlessly To see the face of the supervisor, and want to have a grudge against him?dream!

At this time, the carriage with the logo of Duke Rongguo came to a stop in front of the palace gate.

Seeing the chaos in front of him, Jia Daishan didn't know what happened, so he told Shi Shi, got out of the car and went forward.

"Eunuch Bi, I don't know what happened to Mr. Zhou?" Jia Daishan raised his hand, puzzled.Everyone was an official in the same dynasty, and he also recognized Zhou Junchen's face.

"Yo! It's Duke Rong." Bi Yun, who had been sitting arrogantly on the chair, immediately stood up. Instead of answering Jia Daishan's question, he looked behind Jia Daishan and saw two carriages stop not far away.

"It's been a month and a half. I don't know if General Jia is safe or not?" Bi Yun asked with a charming smile.

Jia Daishan couldn't figure out what Bi Yun was thinking, so he replied hesitantly: "Thank you for the eunuch Bi's concern...my son...naturally he is fine."

Bi Yun felt a little impatient, and said directly: "To tell you the truth, General Xiao Jia and I had some friendship in the past, why don't you invite him out to catch up on the past!" The emperor just rewarded some fields and property, and he didn't even have a real job.If it wasn't for saving face Jia Lian, how could such a "down and out" deserve the courtesy of the eunuch, the leader of Shang Baojian.

Jia Daishan said politely: "Son... I am still thinking about my mistakes behind closed doors in the mansion. Now I am afraid that I will not be able to listen to Eunuch Bi's admonition." Bi Yun is one of the 11 most powerful servants, and must not be offended.Moreover, he also expected these eunuchs to say something nice for him in front of the emperor, so that he could get a real job again.

"What?" Bi Yun frowned, "The emperor sent someone to Duke Rong's mansion early this morning to convey the word of mouth, so as to save General Jia from thinking behind closed doors. Doesn't Duke Rong know?"

"This..." Jia Daishan was speechless for a moment.

Ever since his quarrel with Jia Lian that day, he hadn't seen his youngest son for a long time.

"Master, the old lady is worried about what happened, so she asked her son to come and have a look." Jia Zheng saluted gracefully.

The fact is that Shi saw that Jia Daishan seemed to be talking with other dignitaries, so he sent his beloved son Jia Zheng here.She is very confident that with her second son's character and talent, she will be able to win the favor of other adults and leave a deep impression on her. The second son will surely have a smooth sailing in the future whether he is a prince or an official.

"Eunuch Bi, this is the old man's second son. Zheng'er, why don't you greet Eunuch Bi?" Jia Daishan gestured to Jia Zheng to salute.

"...Yes, sir." Jia Zheng wanted to refuse. How could he, a dignified scholar, bow his knees to an eunuch! ?But Jia Daishan couldn't help showing him with his eyes that filial piety comes first, so Jia Zheng only felt wronged and half-bowed reluctantly.

Jia Daishan knew that his son had a good character and was a typical literati, so he didn't like eunuchs.Seeing that Jia Zheng wronged himself for him, he couldn't help but feel distressed, and also tipped the already tilted balance in his heart to Jia Zheng's side even more.

When Bi Yun saw Jia Zheng's arrival, and thinking about the one, two, three, and four things he had heard about the Rongguo Duke's mansion before, he had already guessed the matter to a close.

Since Jia Lian wasn't there, he didn't have to give face to the family with whom Jia Lian had a bad relationship. He ignored Jia Zheng's still bending over and sat down with his sleeves.

"You, you, you, you four, ask a few court ladies to search for Duke Rong's car. You must know that Duke Rong was born as a general. Be careful not to miss some sharp weapons!" Bi Yun ordered proudly.

The people who can be seconded by Dongchang to do things are all good people. It is natural to hear that Bi Yun intends to clean up the Rongguo mansion, but he can't do it like Zhou Junchen's family. So although they continue to attack quickly, ruthlessly, and accurately, but After all, he restrained himself a bit.

However, even if they have restrained themselves, it is enough to drive Shi Shi and Wang Shi who are still sitting in the car crazy.

"Bold! I am a lady of the first grade, how dare you be rude to me!!??" Shi Shi and Wang were forcibly "helped" out of the carriage by several court ladies, and the other guards made a mess inside the carriage, and no one could sit on it. look.

"How unreasonable! An eunuch dares to bully the imperial court official and the first-rank imperial lady, do you have the king's law in your eyes!? When I enter the palace later, I will report to the emperor to punish you, so that the court can have a bright future!" Jia Zhengjian Seeing that Zhou Junchen, who was wearing the clothes of a third-rank civil servant, was pushed to the ground, and his mother Shi Shi, who supported him the most, was also driven out of the carriage, he straightened up quickly, pointed at Bi Yun's nose and shouted angrily.

He thinks that this action is upright and awe-inspiring, defying the power and standing up for his mother, and touching the heavens with filial piety, he will definitely be appreciated by the third-rank official, become famous in the scholarly circle, rise to the top, and his father and mother will also favor him more.

The idea is beautiful, but the reality is cruel.

"Slap the mouth!" Bi Yunyuan opened his eyes, his face was flushed, and he squeezed out these two words fiercely.

The guards naturally rushed forward.

"Wait a minute!" Jia Daishan hastily stopped in front of Jia Zheng, and said with a bad face, "Eunuch Bi, my son is ignorant, let me forgive him for this old man's face today!" Zheng'er is his first-rank Duke Rong How could a eunuch punish him, the son of a noble man and a noble scholar!This eunuch is too arrogant! !

Jia Daishan's complexion was ugly, and Bi Yun's complexion was even more ugly.

He entered the palace when the first emperor came to the throne, first served in the construction warehouse, and then was promoted to the chief follower. Because of his vigilance, he was accepted by the eunuchs around the first emperor as his son and sent to study in the inner library.Later, he was transferred to the supervisor of rites, and because of his diligence, he was trusted by the late emperor and promoted to the supervisor of Shangbao.The current emperor also trusts him a lot, Xu Yishangbao is in charge of a eunuch.

People outside generally refer to eunuchs in the palace as "eunuchs", but eunuchs are actually already the highest level of eunuchs.Whether it's Jingtai, a scholar of Baohe Palace, or the princes, everyone is very polite when they meet him.Even if his face was torn apart, Zhou Junchen didn't dare to call him a eunuch directly in front of him.But now a junior!How dare you point at his nose in front of him and yell at eunuchs!Is it true that he, Bi Yun, has become easy to bully in recent years by taking care of his heart and nurturing his nature? ?When Bi Yun was promoted to the supervisor of Shangbao, Jia Daishan had just taken over the title, so in terms of seniority, Jia Daishan didn't know how many times he was behind him!Let alone Jia Zheng.

Bi Yun ignored Jia Daishan. Seeing the guards not moving for a long time, he gave them a gloomy look, "What? Do you think our family is eunuch? Did no one listen to you?" The guards, who were actually Dongchang Fanzi, were so frightened that they hurried He pushed Jia Daishan away, and grabbed Jia Zheng firmly in two or three strokes.

Jia Daishan looked at Bi Yundao angrily, "How dare you!?"

Bi Yun sneered, "Do you think I dare?"
