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

"What do you want to do?" Princess Mingzhu asked vigilantly. She felt a little bit regretful that she had asked Madam Yu to send her out. She could see Feng Zizhi's skills very clearly that day, and she could take pictures of people in minutes. icy.

Feng Zizhi looked down at this beautiful and beautiful Pearl Princess, her face was white, her eyes were slightly fearful, and she was staring at him intently, for fear that he would suddenly get into trouble.

"Prince Jin... the rebellion of the eldest prince and the sixth prince embarrasses the identity of the princess. Even though the princess decides to 'abandon the dark and turn to the light', leading the old escort of the eldest prince, repelling the soldiers of the fourth prince, and even being shot in the shoulder, his loyalty surpasses the sun and the moon. But the timing was wrong."

Feng Zizhi analyzed slowly, "When the first prince led the troops into the palace, the princess kept silent. After the first prince died, the princess showed her loyal and patriotic side... It was too late." The timing was too late!You must know that Emperor Zhou Wen was not a suspicious emperor on the surface, but from the fact that he built the East Factory by himself, it can be seen that he is a controlling emperor.Otherwise, is the East Factory only used to monitor the officials to check and balance the civil and military?

Besides, even if you take ten thousand steps back and say that Emperor Wen of Zhou is really a benevolent emperor, he is always suspicious. Besides, he has just been betrayed by his eldest son, aunt son, and youngest son. Even his own son will betray him Can he easily trust his granddaughter from another generation?

The princess of Mingzhu lives in the Prince Jin's mansion, and is the eldest prince's favorite daughter. Would she not hear any rumors about the big prince's rebellion?It is hard to guarantee that Emperor Zhou Wen would not guess that the reason why Princess Mingzhu wanted to "loyally protect him" was entirely because of the failure of the eldest prince. She was afraid that Emperor Zhou Wen would punish her so she couldn't believe it. It was not out of sincerity at all, but just for self-protection.

On the other hand, Princess Mingzhu has reached the age of Ji, if the eldest prince doted on her and wanted to keep her for a few more years, and Princess Mingzhu herself had high vision, she might have been betrothed to someone else long ago.Right now, Princess Mingzhu's status is embarrassing. Although she still seems to be Emperor Zhou Wen's favorite princess, her father is a rebel, and her mother and brothers have become common people again, and they are imprisoned in the First Prince's Mansion.Which family would be willing to marry this helpless daughter-in-law who might implicate the whole family in a rebellion every minute?Therefore, the first-class and even nine-class families in Beijing all shy away from Princess Mingzhu.

And Jia Lian is about the same age as her, handsome, civil and military, backed by Rongguo Duke's mansion, the most important thing is that he has won the love of Emperor Wen of Zhou, and has a bright future. mother and brothers.In addition, they used to have a marriage contract, although it didn't work out in the end, but it was also a good reason or an excuse to pester Jia Lian.Princess Mingzhu is confident that with her means, she will definitely be able to hold the affectionate Jia Lian firmly in her palm.

Princess Mingzhu's wishful thinking was resounding, but unfortunately Feng Zizhi saw through it at a glance.If Jia Lian wasn't the one she fell in love with, Feng Zizhi might give her a word or two of praise, or even lend her a helping hand, forming a good relationship.But since Feng Zizhi knew that she was looking at Jia Lian, she could only cruelly smash her wishful thinking.

Feng Zizhi understands how good Jia Lian is, and doesn't mind if others like him, but he hates anyone who wants to take advantage of him.

"How you want to revive the Jin Palace, how to rescue your mother and brother, our family will not care, only one thing..."

Feng Zizhi stared at Princess Mingzhu and said word by word.

"Don't put your thoughts on Jing Ya, otherwise... the princess won't want to see Dongchang's methods."

Princess Mingzhu has always been aloof, her father is the eldest son of the emperor with real power, and her grandmother is Concubine Hui, one of the four concubines in the palace.Have you ever been threatened by an eunuch like this!In addition, Princess Mingzhu suddenly suffered a big change, and her mentality couldn't help being more stubborn than before, for fear that others would underestimate her and the lineage of Prince Jin's residence.

Facing Feng Zizhi's threat, she laughed back in anger, and said with a sharp tongue: "Even if a pheasant becomes a phoenix for a while, it is still just a pheasant in essence! A beast is a beast! Don't even think about flying on a branch and becoming a phoenix!" Obviously, That pheasant refers to Feng Zizhi.

Feng Zizhi didn't get angry, and just said lightly: "Our family has only heard that a phoenix that falls to the ground is not as good as a chicken." If the phoenix just landed, no one would dare to provoke it, but what if it was relegated?hehe!Sarcasm, adding insult to injury, and other actions naturally followed, and life was even worse than a little pheasant on the ground.And the abolished lineage of Prince Jin's Mansion is obviously the falling phoenix in Feng Zizhi's words.

Princess Mingzhu got angry and scolded: "You are just a lowly servant! Don't think that the general just fell in love with you for a while, so you are complacent and arrogant! This princess has a lot of ways to beat you back to your original form!"

"Then we'll just have to wait and see." Feng Zizhi said coolly, completely ignoring the threat of Princess Mingzhu.Indeed, Princess Mingzhu has lost her backing, and Emperor Zhou Wen's favor for her is also faltering, so she has no deterrent power at all.As long as Feng Zizhi reveals one or two intentions, in order to curry favor with him, there will naturally be people under his command who will desperately trample on the former Jin concubine who is still imprisoned in the Great Prince's Mansion and the grandchildren who have become common people.

"Jing Ya is not someone you can take advantage of, princess, let's do it yourself! If we let our family know that you are still devoted to Jing Ya, then... what will happen, our family is not very clear." Dare to raise troops to rebel, and even personally killed the prince who the emperor has always loved the most!It's okay for now, the emperor was very sad because of the death of the kings, but in the future, when he thinks about turning over the old scores, there is no guarantee that people who have contacts with King Jin will not be involved.Even if Jing Ya was involved in these matters, it might not have a good result, after all, he is the real son whose blood is thicker than water.

It is said that the nine clans of the Jingtai family who instigated King Jin to raise troops are all beheaded by Zhou Wendi's decree. The general Fu Yi is a little better, but it is not much better--the seven Yi clans.Together with the other prince's henchmen who participated in the rebellion, Caishikou in the north of the city was bloody every day.

It is said that the civil servant who served as the execution supervisor changed six times in a row, and in the end He Qi had to choose a general from the army who was accustomed to seeing the dead to be the execution supervisor. The soldiers of the supervising team who were in charge of beheading the retreating soldiers in the Lantian camp had to be urgently transferred to make up for it. Only after three shifts could the entire execution procedure be completed.

Because of this incident, the entire capital was in a state of turmoil, and everyone was in danger.

When the emperor was angry, he punished millions, not just talking.

Feng Zizhi's high-ranking, arrogant and rude attitude completely hurt Princess Mingzhu's sensitive and fragile glass heart at the moment, and she said indiscriminately: "You are just a monster who is neither male nor female! Can you talk to the general?" Are you married!? Can you bear children for him!? Can you be together openly!?"

Feng Zizhi's eyes turned cold.

It is hard to be a servant. If you want to become a qualified servant, you have to go through a gate of hell. If you don't pass the "castration" test, you might lose your life.Even if they survived, they would be ridiculed.Therefore, the servants in the palace are the most taboo words for others to call them eunuchs, men without dicks, or other descriptions in this regard.Not being able to marry Jia Lian and have children would hit Feng Zizhi's Achilles' heel!

The temperature around him suddenly turned cold, and traces of murderous aura overflowed.

Just as Feng Zizhi was about to have an attack, a man suddenly appeared behind the screen.

"The matter between me and Yannian does not need the princess to intervene!" But Jia Lian pretended to be obedient and left, but actually stood outside the door and heard the conversation between Feng Zizhi and Princess Mingzhu clearly.When Princess Mingzhu reprimanded Feng Zizhi as a lowly servant, Jia Lian already wanted to stand up, but seeing that Feng Zizhi seemed to have other plans, he suppressed his anger and continued to listen.However, when she heard that Princess Mingzhu humiliated Feng Zizhi so blatantly, Jia Lian couldn't take it anymore, and walked towards the screen in three steps.

"No... General, listen to Mingzhu's explanation!" Unexpectedly, Jia Lian would appear suddenly, Princess Mingzhu was startled, and tried to defend herself in a panic.You must know that her image in front of Jia Lian has always been that of a noble, charming, and brave royal lady. This time she made a slip of the tongue and scolded that eunuch, which greatly damaged her image in Feng Zizhi's heart.

Jia Lian took Feng Zizhi's hand and walked out, frowning, trying to suppress the anger in his stomach.He was afraid that if he stayed where he was, he would not be able to help doing something that would embarrass Emperor Zhou Wen but that he would never regret.

Only one sentence was left, "Jia Lian will never fall in love with anyone other than Yannian in this life! Princess don't want to set your mind on me anymore!" These words were cruel without any scruples about Princess Mingzhu's thoughts. She shattered her teenage heart, and formed a cruel second combo with Feng Zizhi. .

Looking at the decisive back of the person she likes, Princess Mingzhu shut her mouth weakly.

general...

She didn't beg loudly or pester Jia Lian to stay. She was the princess of Mingzhu personally appointed by Emperor Wen of Zhou, and the last face of the Prince Jin's family. Her self-esteem prevented her from acting petty.

"Drip! Drip!" The two gradually drifted away, only the young girl remained silent, she raised her head high and watched their inseparable figures go away, tears dripping drop by drop onto the white bedding.

Princess Mingzhu felt very uncomfortable at the moment.She really liked Jia Lian, if it wasn't for liking him, how could she easily use her marriage to seek to become the wife of someone who wouldn't like her at all.

She lay down on the bed and burst into tears, and the tears burst in that instant.

After a while, she raised her head, wiped away the tears on her cheeks fiercely with her sleeve, and her expression became firm again.The most important thing now is to please the emperor's grandfather, find a way to let the concubine and the younger brother leave the mansion, and then help the younger brother to revive the Jin Palace!

She liked Jia Lian, but this love seemed so insignificant compared to the freedom of the mother concubine and younger brother, and the revival of the Jin Palace, it was so insignificant that it was not worth mentioning.Since you can't have your cake and eat it too, she has no choice but to discard the light and take the heavy.

"Princess!" Nanny Yu came back with Nianxia, ​​and shouted in panic when she saw the bright red blood stain on Princess Mingzhu's back.

"Mommy, you and Nian Xia can re-apply the medicine for me!" Even though she looked haggard and pale, she still couldn't hide the heroic look of Princess Mingzhu after she regained her energy. She subconsciously ignored the still throbbing heart , said resolutely.

Backing mountains will fall, relying on everyone will run, in the end, people still have to rely on themselves.

At this time, if she still behaves like before and act obediently in front of the emperor, it will be useless, and she will never be able to ask the emperor for mercy to let the mother, concubine and younger brother go out of the house...

Princess Mingzhu came up with an idea, a good idea, a good idea to find a new way, when she was enduring the pain and changing her medicine.

Ningguo Mansion

"Cough, cough, cough!" The person sitting on the top nanmu chair coughed hoarsely.

Jia Daishan handed over a cup of tea with his own hands, and asked with concern: "Brother, how is your health? Are you feeling better?"

Although Jia Daihua was unwell and had been lying in bed for many days, it was about the life and death of Rongning and Ningfu, and even the Jia clan.He didn't take the tea in Jia Daishan's hand, and said angrily, "...when is this!? I'm so sick that I can stand up with only one breath left!"

"Tell me! What good thing have you done!" The sarcasm was obvious.

"Brother..." Jia Daishan was a little embarrassed when he was humiliated in front of his wife, son, and nephew, but he had no choice but to respond: "Don't worry, brother, I just sent someone to send it to that man's house several times in a moment of confusion. It is a generous gift, and there is no other action."

Although Jia Daishan leaned towards King Jin, he did not obviously support him because of the prince's relationship, but there was always some exchange of money.

Hearing this, Jia Daihua felt relieved.

If this is the case, with the presence of the younger nephew Jia Lian's family, the emperor should turn his eyes away and not harm the whole family.

He asked the truth: "Don't be sloppy with me! How much did you send in total?" He was still worried if he didn't get an exact figure.If the number is too large, even the little nephew may not be able to protect them.

Jia Daishan said with a smile: "I have a sense of proportion, but it's only 10 taels. Although it's a bit heavier, it can be explained." Over the years, the amount of money sent to the prince by the Rongguo government is far more than this amount.Even though sending 10 taels to Prince Jin's mansion in just two months is a little eye-catching, but if it is true, it can be deduced that it is a dowry gift from Duke Rongguo's mansion to Princess Mingzhu, or because the child Jia Lian is rude. apology gift or something.

Jia Daihua understood that this cousin didn't dare to lie to himself at this critical moment, and his long face finally calmed down.

"The foundation of our two prefectures was brought back by the sword and gun of our ancestors. As long as we don't die, our children and grandchildren will be able to pass on the foundation steadily even if they don't grow up. Don't rely on the merits of the dragon or What kind of troubles are there, and the whole family is deluded into it!" Jia Daihua said this not only to Jia Daishan, but also to his son Jia Jing, nephews Jia She and Jia Zheng.

"My son will obey the master's instruction." Jia Jing said respectfully.His greatest interest is cultivating Taoism and alchemy, and he only hopes that one day he can achieve a positive result and be in the first class. Don't bother him with mundane things such as revitalizing the family and making a fortune.

Jia Amnesty and Jia Zheng also responded from the side.

Jia Amnesty's idea is very good, with his own brother covering him, what kind of thigh does he need, what kind of meritorious service does he want! ?The thickest and safest thigh is his own brother!

Tut tut tut!Jia Amnesty touched his chin and smashed his mouth.He never thought that his own younger brother would be so powerful, pulling off King Qi who had raided his house in the previous life and sent him to serve as an army!Cut off the way for King Qi to become emperor!Indirectly avenged himself!

If I remember correctly, the Prince/Dang, the King of Jin Party and the King of Chu Party all participated in attacking the palace in the previous life, and only King Qi has been guarding the emperor's side to serve the sick and fulfill his filial piety.Originally, everyone thought that King Qi was a fool who wanted to be a filial son despite not wanting the position of Lord of Ten Thousands. Because the prince and others didn't have the time to talk to him, they only cared about rebelling against each other, fighting to the death.Unexpectedly, the emperor was pretending to be sick, and the three who danced happily were caught by the emperor, and the one who pretended to be a filial son became the heir apparent without any bloodshed.

But in this life, the winner in the previous life became a prisoner, and the one who won without a fight became King Qin who never came out to make soy sauce in his previous life.Jia Amnesty had to sigh, his younger brother is really awesome!

To be honest, because there was no Jia Lian in the previous life, Feng Zizhi was not sent to the palace, so King Qi, who has been trying to win over his servants, successfully opened up various joints in the palace.When Emperor Wen of Zhou pretended to be sick, he got news from the palace.King Qi, who is not stupid, naturally went to the palace to serve the sick, showing his loyalty and filial piety.Therefore, after solving the few real and stupid sons who danced happily, Emperor Wen of Zhou appointed King Qi who "successfully" passed the test as the prince, and abdicated as the Supreme Emperor.

Of course, Emperor Wen of Zhou, who later became the Supreme Emperor, was furious when he learned that King Qi's "filial piety" was actually an act of deceit, which tricked him into giving him the throne. But at this time, the emperor cannot be abolished.After thinking about it, Emperor Wen of Zhou still couldn't swallow this breath, so he mobilized his old courtiers to restrain the new emperor at that time...

Jia Daihua nodded in satisfaction, "Look at how glorious the Jing family was when they produced a cabinet scholar, a military minister, and three langs, and now the emperor ordered the nine clans to be punished! Pity his in-laws." They were also implicated, and thousands of people were executed in the north of the city! No chicken or dog was spared! Even the baby who was just one month old was... Alas!" At the end, he also sighed with emotion.

But he never noticed that after hearing his emotional words, his cousin's face turned pale and pale.

"Master..." Shi swallowed a mouthful of saliva with difficulty, and whispered that when Emperor Zhou Wen spread the news that he was hopeless, he privately sent someone to take Jia Daishan's seal and took 30 yuan from the warehouse. The two were sent to the Prince Jin's mansion.

You must know that based on the situation at that time, King Jin had the status of the eldest son, and his concubine was the head of the four concubines in the palace, with a noble status, and he had a heavy army in his hands, and Jingtai led a large group of civil servants and Fu Yi to support him. Can be much stronger than the kings.In Jia Daihua's words, the Shi family was fascinated by the Conglong Zhigong, and placed a heavy bet on King Jin.

But now, she's scared.

The 86 members of Jing's family, whether old or young, were all taken to Caishikou and beheaded, and no one was spared.Even the Marquis of Fengcheng, who was conferred the title of Marquis of Fengcheng for his meritorious service in assisting Emperor Taizu in founding the country, was imprisoned and beheaded for marrying Jingtai's granddaughter!Not to mention the other in-laws of the Jing family—the Meng family in Hebei, the Wu family in Gusu, and the Qu family in Lin'an—more than a dozen wealthy and scholarly families were implicated.

Just a moment ago, Jia Daishan thought that he acted wisely and did not put the Manchu House in crisis. How could his old wife immediately give him this big "surprise" the next moment.

His blood surged up, his eyes turned black, and he was about to faint immediately.

The 10 taels of silver can also be forcibly argued that because Jia Lianyu refused to marry, the Rongguo Mansion was very sorry, and specially gave an apology to Princess Mingzhu as a dowry.But this is him!mother!30 taels! ?Plus the 10 taels given earlier, a total of 40 taels! 40 taels of silver!You don't need this amount to buy a princess as a daughter-in-law!

The tax of this dynasty is the lowest among all dynasties, only one forty tax, and last year's tax was only 800 million taels.This 40 taels accounted for 5.00% of the national tax revenue!

This wretched mother-in-law! ! !This is Jia Daishan's last thought before fainting.
