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

The day of the crown ceremony came quickly.

"Book of Rites? Jitong" records: "The son of heaven personally farmed in the southern suburbs to prosper together." Every first month, in order to express the meaning of emphasizing agriculture, the son of heaven will lead all officials, civil and military officials, and the emperor's relatives to sacrifice the land of farming and farming in person. present.

Since today is a good day for Jia Lian, Emperor Wen of Zhou allowed him to stay at Wang Yi's house and wait for the auspicious time for the crowning ceremony to begin.

Waking up early in the morning, Emperor Wen of Zhou, who had put on light clothes, led the way to the field.The plot of land that Emperor Wen of Zhou used to cultivate himself had already been marked out, and it happened to be "one mu and three parts of land".As early as a few days ago, Da Sinong had sent people to water the land, loosen the soil, and clear the stones and weeds in the field in advance.

Emperor Wen of Zhou hammered twice with a hoe in a symbolic sense of familiarity, then sprinkled the seeds, patted a layer of soil, and soon completed the plowing process.The officials and nobles behind them, regardless of their status, waved iron hoes to loosen the ground under their feet.

"Sir, how are you preparing for the crowning ceremony?" Emperor Wen of Zhou, who had finished plowing himself, stood beside the farmland, "supervising" the work of all the officials, and chatted with Wang Yi as if no one else was around.

Wang Yi waved the hoe at will and hoeed the ground a few times, threw a few seeds down, then buried the soil, and handed the hoe to the little official beside him.Standing next to Emperor Wen of Zhou, he slacked off openly and aboveboard, provoking envious glances from other "delicate and weak" civil servants who were still struggling to hoe the ground.

"His Majesty Lao is worried. All the adults in the Ministry of Internal Affairs are very well prepared when needed." Wang Yiyun said calmly.

Emperor Wen of Zhou said reassuringly, "That's all right."

Wang Yi calmly counted the audience, "How can you not see Eunuch Dai accompanying you today?" Dai Quan accompanied Emperor Wen of Zhou for decades, and followed Emperor Wen of Zhou steadfastly every day.Today is a big event that the Son of Heaven personally plows, and Dai Quan is not present, which is completely unreasonable.

Emperor Wen of Zhou paused slightly, "I have an errand for him to do." As for the errand, he didn't go on.

Wang Yi nodded in understanding.

Emperor Wen of Zhou said with emotion: "I really want to see the moment when Lian'er and the crown are crowned with my own eyes!" The size of the crown ceremony prepared by the Ministry of Internal Affairs is already a huge honor. If Emperor Zhou Wen came in person, it would not be an honor. Instead, he killed him.

The emperor's value is power to others.But for officials who are eager to leave their names in history, this means that a new target has emerged.

There are many officials who are dedicated to being famous "remonstrators" like Wei Zheng and Jie Zitui for thousands of years. When they have nothing to do, they think about making a blood remonstrance, corpse remonstrance or something, and they are dedicated to slapping the emperor's face.However, ordinary people do not have a sense of accomplishment, and those who are valued by the emperor are called ability and worthy of a book in history.

Therefore, the emperor's value is also a double-edged sword. Those who can hold it are handsome;

The seemingly normal speech made Wang Yi, who knew him well, feel that Zhou Wendi seemed to want to change the subject.

Wang Yi tentatively said: "Although the emperor can't come in person, why not let Zizhi's child watch the ceremony on his behalf! That child grew up with Lian'er, the relationship is the closest, his status is sufficient, and he is articulate, he must be able to win the crown." Everything about the ceremony can be recounted vividly, so that the emperor can relieve his concern."

Emperor Zhou Wen's eyes deepened, and for the first time, his eyes shifted from the sweaty officials to Wang Yi's face.

"I have ordered the seventh generation of me to watch the ceremony, let Lian'er enter the palace after the coronation ceremony is over! I can wait for this time." After finishing speaking, he turned his gaze back to Baiguan.

He continued: "I don't know when my husband got so close to Feng Zizhi, the servant." The disdain for Feng Zizhi was clear in the words.

Wang Yi knew a little bit about it, and knew that Emperor Wen of Zhou might have noticed something about Jia Lian and Feng Zizhi's affairs, so he said calmly: "I made the emperor laugh, Lian'er and Zizhi are on good terms, and this minister is purely Aiwu and Wuzhi." Therefore." After noticing that Emperor Wen of Zhou's face turned pale, he said again: "It's just that Lian'er has always been restless. Seeing that Zizhi is naturally intelligent and calm, I intend to accept him as a disciple and pass on the mantle."

Emperor Wen of Zhou objected: "Hmph! I know this servant is very withdrawn, otherwise he wouldn't be able to get ahead in Dongchang. Mister, I'm afraid he has misjudged the person!" He didn't even call him by name, but only called him servant.

Wang Yi said indifferently: "I've done my calculations. This child was originally Wen Changxing's fate. Unfortunately, the luck is bad and the fate is not good. Moreover, it is good to be lonely. Study it thoroughly. If it was like that monkey Lianer, I wouldn't think so."

"We will discuss this later!" Emperor Zhou Wen said with a flick of his sleeves.

If someone else saw the emperor's displeasure, he might have been submissive, but Wang Yi said, "Then at the crowning ceremony of Lian'er..."

Emperor Wen of Zhou said bluntly: "... I know, I will ask the servant to bring people to reward." It is self-evident who the servant is.

"I thank the emperor on behalf of Lian'er." Wang Yi smiled lightly and saluted.

Emperor Wen of Zhou rarely gave Wang Yi a good look, "Hmph!"

Although Jia Lian didn't have to get up early in the morning to plow the fields, he was still pulled up early in the morning by Uncle Wang to wash, take a bath and change clothes, and then dress up, just like a bride getting married.Jia Lian didn't have to do anything, he just raised his head, stretched out his hands, and twirled in a coordinated manner. He closed his eyes the whole time to sleep, and let Uncle Wang play with him.

"All right."

Uncle Wang stopped and leaned on a cane, his eyes were slightly wet, and Lao Huai said with relief.

Only then did Jia Lian lazily open his eyes, seeing that Uncle Wang's eye sockets were red, the eyes were full of light, and the feeling of laziness was swept away.

"Uncle Wang, what are you doing? Who dares to bully your old man, let's see if Lian'er doesn't beat him to death!"

Uncle Wang wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes with the back of his hand, and said kindly, "No one bullied Uncle Wang, it's just that Uncle Wang was old and lacked energy, so he just yawned."

"Let Uncle Lianshan, Uncle Lianzang, or Brother Guiyun and Brother Guishan do these little things, why do you bother?" Jia Lian said kindly.

Lian Shan and Lian Zang are Uncle Wang's own sons, and they took over Uncle Wang's burden the year before last, taking charge of the affairs of the Wang family both internally and externally.Uncle Wang also officially retired, holding a birdcage like an old man and chatting with other old people every day, living a leisurely and happy life.Guiyun and Guishan are the sons of Lianshan and Lianzang. Although they are talented in accounting and management, they have no interest in housekeeping. They only like to wield knives and guns.

"Hmph! Lianshan and Lianzang have never experienced major events, and they are not careful, let alone Guiyun and Guishan, who haven't even grown hair!" Uncle Wang reprimanded unceremoniously, "Young master and Of course, the important matter of the crown has to be prepared by the old slave himself, so I can rest assured."

"Uncle Wang has weathered the storms for a long time, and there is nothing more appropriate to do things. Uncle Lian Shan and Uncle Lian Zang are also very calm and capable. Brother Gui Yun and Brother Gui Shan are even more outstanding." Jia Lian seldom coaxed patiently.

Hearing this, Uncle Wang said with a smile on his face, "Young master, please don't praise them, they are shallow-sighted, and they don't know where their tails will go when you praise them!"

Old children, old children, when people grow old, they always like to be coaxed by others.

"Master, Dad." A middle-aged man with a honest and honest face came in.

"Uncle Lian Shan."

Uncle Wang raised his eyebrows, and said displeasedly: "It's still early, why didn't you prepare ahead, but came later instead?"

Uncle Lian Shan said hesitantly: "...people from Jia's family are here. They say they are the young master's family and want to come in to see the young master."

Before Jia Lian could say anything, Uncle Wang angrily slammed his crutch on the ground a few times.

"Did you come from a dead man? Hurry up and call the nursing home to beat these people out!? The Wang family doesn't welcome them!" Wang Yi has a public job, and except for off work or holidays, he spends absolutely no time with Jia Lian. The time spent together with Uncle Wang and Jia Lian was shorter than that of Uncle Wang. It can be said that Uncle Wang brought up Jia Lian by himself.Uncle Wang was also the first to know about Shi Shi playing tricks in the backyard and trying to put the little maid on Jia Lian's bed.

As the old man gets older, he naturally dotes on the younger generation more and more, and is reluctant to bear Jia Lian being wronged.

Uncle Lian Shan looked at Jia Lian in embarrassment.

"Uncle Wang, today is Lian'er's big day, so don't be as knowledgeable as those people." Jia Lian said indifferently.

"If they want to see me, I'll go out to meet them! Anyway, I'm going to meet them outside."

Wang Bo nodded again and again, smiling like a flower: "It's all young master who knows the general idea."

Turning his head to look at Uncle Lian Shan, his eyes are not his eyes, his nose is not his nose, and he said angrily: "You stupid, why don't you take the young master out to welcome the guests? Then send someone to tell the master to come back quickly." Everyone is defined as guests.

Outside the palace gate

"You actually asked us to wait outside, it's really..." Shi Shi said angrily.

Different from the simplicity of his elder brother Lianshan, Lianzang is very shrewd and capable, with smooth means, and is a good hand of the Wang family's external affairs.I saw him facing the family surnamed Jia in front of him, and said with a hidden knife in his smile: "Mrs. Rong Guo's words are wrong. The invitations sent by our master to each family stated that the time for the Ming Crown Ceremony to start is seven o'clock. It's only four o'clock now. Our lord didn't expect there to be guests? You are so honorable and come so early, I'm afraid you are still accompanying the emperor!" Every sentence is accusing Shi and others of being guests, don't take it They regard themselves as serious masters, and their behavior embarrasses the master, and they even show off their master's holy family from the side.

Jia Daihua was the military envoy of the Beijing camp, in charge of the soldiers stationed in the capital, so he did not participate in today's ceremony of offering sacrifices to farmers.However, Jia Daishan was sent by Emperor Wen of Zhou, who was invisible and pure, to send a message that he did not need to participate.

"Duke Ning Guo and Duke Rong are dignified, so someone has to come to welcome them, but the master is not in the mansion at the moment, so I can only send someone to ask the young master for instructions." This is alluding to the fact that the Jia family has no rules.

Being squeezed out by the servants of the Wang family, Jia Daihua couldn't bear to lose face, but the seventh-rank officials in front of the prime minister's door and the dog-beating also depended on the owner, so he could only say displeasedly: "Hmph! Daishan! Take care of your mother-in-law!" I wondered when a young master appeared in the Wang family?Obviously Wang Yi has no heirs. Could it be that his clansmen have gone to Beijing?Could it be his little nephew?

"Shut up!" Jia Daishan gave Shi Shi a warning look.

Shi was short of breath for a while, but he could only shut his mouth embarrassingly.

"Uncle, elder brother, sister-in-law, cousin, master, madam." Jia Lian was wearing an imperial bullfighting suit embroidered with beasts, and his cold and tough aura made everyone in Jia Daishan feel lingering fear.

"Hi brother, have you had breakfast?" Just like Jia She, a heartless and heartless person who can't notice anything, greeted Jia Lian as if nothing had happened.

Hearing Jia Amnesty's voice, Jia Daihua immediately reacted, and secretly sighed that this little nephew is really incredible, and his aura is absolutely incredible!It is worthy of being the god-killing general who killed tens of thousands of Huns!

He kicked Jia Daishan hard, motioning his cousin to speak.Hearing the address and order of the little nephew, he knew how alienated the relationship between father and son was. If it weren't for the fact that he was just Jia Lian's uncle in the next room, he would have gone to bed by himself, why would he call this cousin? !

"Cough! Today is your coronation ceremony, and you will be an adult from now on. You should guard against arrogance and impetuosity, restrain yourself and restore courtesy, and love your brothers and feet." Jia Dai said kindly and earnestly.

Jia Lian saluted, "Yes, thank you for teaching me, Master." He was strict, very polite, but extremely authentic.

Faced with his performance of not getting close to strangers, Jia Daishan didn't know what to say for a while.

Jia Lian wasn't interested in staying with them in front of the mansion, so he turned to Lian Zang and said, "Uncle Lian Zang, please take the adults of the Jia family into the mansion first!"

"Yes, young master." Lian Zang responded, turned his head and said, "Ning Guogong, Rong Guogong, Rong Guogong's wife, the two sons, his wife and others, please follow me." Put Jia Zheng and Mrs. Wang standing behind into the other categories.

Shi Shi is in a hurry, her goal of coming so early has not been achieved yet!

"Hehe! Today is the third brother's big day. It is inevitable that we will be overwhelmed with the arrival and departure. Second child, you can accompany your brother to receive guests, and don't let him be troubled." She said with a look of concern for Jia Lian.

"Yes, mother." Jia Zheng said respectfully.

Jia Lian's coronation ceremony today cannot be said to be honored by hundreds of officials. Even if the prince and grandson want to come, one or two will come. tiger skin.Even if you can't make close friends with those officials, you can still get to know each other well, which can be said to be of great benefit to your future future.

Jia Daishan didn't say a word, although Jia Daihua's scolding a few days ago did wake him up. Over the years, he suppressed the boss and the third child, and his behavior of favoring the second child was indeed too much, and he felt guilty for both the boss and the third child Feelings.But regarding Shi's current behavior, he did not intend to say anything.

What is a clan?The blood relatives of the clan take care of each other, support each other, and unanimously external, forming a chain, they advance and retreat together.

Now that the third child is in power, he should take care of and support his clansmen.When he fell into despair, the clansmen would naturally feed back, take care of and support him.

As the patriarch of the Jia clan, Jia Daihua naturally thought of this, but he knew that Jia Daishan and his wife still preferred Jia Zheng.Otherwise, if he showed his face like this, Jia She, the eldest son, should do the job of helping his younger brother.It is right to support the tribe, but will Jia Lian be willing to support Jia Zheng, who has always had a bad relationship with him?Difficult!

"Xie'er, you are the eldest son, the heir of Rong Guogong, you should also stay to help your younger brother!" Jia Daihua's words were like acknowledging Jia She's future Rong Guogong's status in front of everyone.

"Me?" Jia She was stunned, he didn't think too much, he was already used to these errands that show his face were also done by his second son Jia Zheng.

Jia Daihua spat at him, and said bitterly: "Bah! Don't you want to? If you don't want me to ask Jing'er to help!" If Jia Lian was his son, he would have asked Jing'er to go Help, where is your turn! ?

Jia Lian didn't mind and was even happy for Jia Amnesty to stay, but he was very concerned that his glory would be spoiled by Jia Zheng, a hypocrite.

"It's fine if there are me and elder brother here, second elder brother is the most filial, so please serve the master and wife well on our behalf!" Flatly refused.

Since there is a son who can stay, Jia Daishan doesn't care if it is the eldest or the second.On the contrary, he was very happy, which proved that the third child had given him face as a father, and that he was respectful as a brother and friend, which was very good.

A few days ago, Shi had already analyzed the stakes with Jia Zheng. Jia Zheng's daily circle was far from those of the hundreds of officials who had at least four ranks of officials in the Hall of Supreme Harmony in the early dynasty. Given the opportunity to express himself, Jia Zheng specially reviewed his homework in the study for several days.He has a great talent, but the examiners in the county test don't know how to appreciate it. This time, he will be a blockbuster, and let those low-minded people see clearly that he is the No. 1 in Rongguo Mansion!Jia Zheng is full of confidence and thinks that he can definitely take this opportunity to win the favor of the adults. How could Jia Lian want to cut off his "Qingyun Road" now!

It's just that Jia Lian's words made it impossible for Jia Zheng to refute. Could it be that admitting that he is not filial, it is better to leave the boss to serve his parents, and I want to come out and make friends with dignitaries! ?

He had no choice but to put his eyes on Shi Shi beggingly.

"When your father and I are not old enough to want our son to accompany us everywhere, if you are worried, let the boss stay and take care of us. Anyway, the boss has a temper, and I am also afraid that he will accidentally offend other adults. It is better to stay I am at ease. Your second brother is a scholar, he has always been prudent and polite, with his help, you don't have to be afraid of offending people." Shi Shi quickly said after receiving Aiko's plea.

Jia Daihua looked at Shi Shi with dissatisfaction, he didn't expect that he woke up his cousin by scolding him, but he couldn't wake up Shi Shi!It's just that she is the cousin in the next room after all, so I can't say much.

"Okay..." Jia Daishan frowned.

At this moment, "Tap, tap, tap..." From a long distance, I saw a dark crowd, riding towards Jia Lian and others on horseback.

Before they approached, Jia Lian and the others felt a sharp aura of gold and iron blowing towards them.
