Xian Sun of the Ning Mansion of the Red Chamber

Chapter 333

Yang Qi died. Although Jia Ying had no chance to see it with his own eyes, Xia Shouzhong still told the details under the pressure of Fu Donglai, Yang Jing, Gu Chunting and Feng Hengshi. He wanted to fly a kite, but under the coaxing of a little eunuch and a court lady who were close to him on weekdays, he climbed onto the roof of the main hall and fell down.

In the palace, there are not only tall and majestic main halls like Huagai Hall, Fengtian Hall, and Qianqing Palace, but also some clusters of halls. People can climb and walk back and forth between the roofs.

When he fell down, the man was not dead, but passed out, because the eunuch and maid saw Yang Tong's head was bleeding, and in fear, she threw him into the abandoned well.

After such a toss, before the imperial doctor gave a diagnosis and treatment, the person was gone.

After Jia Ying heard this, she shook her head inwardly. He only saw Yang Cheng once or twice during the grand ceremonies, but according to what he heard, he was also raised and disabled.

Ordinarily, since the Empress Yin's family can cultivate Yang Yi, a prince who is not lacking in ability and has great ambitions, no matter what, she won't be able to support him. Jia Ying wonders if Yang Yi has messed up.

Wu Yuqing said that he was not born to the empress. Although she didn't know the truth, but no matter what the reason was, Yang Yi believed it in the end. With Yang Yi's deep thoughts, she had already given up and brought her younger brother, so there was no need to argue. It is not impossible for a big opponent, after all, he is the only one who will not arouse the suspicion of Kunning Palace when he contacts the people around Yang Cheng, and it is the most convenient.

As for Yang Cheng's death, it's hard to say.

It is possible that Yang Teng had arranged it in advance. He was full of confidence in the rebellion, but he did not want to bear the notoriety of "killer foot" after capturing Miyagi.It is also possible that Yang Bi took this opportunity to blame Yang Yi.

In short, neither of Jia De's two sons is a fuel-efficient lamp, and I don't know if it's heredity, or the palace's feng shui is not good.

"I have to send someone to keep an eye on Yang Zhuo to see if there are any suspicious people around me. It's best to put a secret person by Yang Zhuo's side."

Jia Ying thought to herself.

A red-robed eunuch from the Supervisor of Rituals whispered a few words to Dai Quan outside the hall, and Dai Quan walked in with a calm expression.

Fu Donglai asked: "How is the situation?"

The emperor vomited blood and fell into a coma, the empress was immersed in the pain of bereavement, and the palace suddenly lost its backbone. Fortunately, all the important officials in the court were there, and Fu Donglai and others came out to preside over the overall situation at a critical moment.

Jia Ying also gained some insight, and understood why so many emperors of dynasties had to use eunuchs heavily.

Take this emperor's coma as an example. Xia Shouzhong just wanted to leave and went to Kunning Palace to report, but was stopped by Gu Chunting. This cabinet old man who had always been obedient to his orders showed surprising determination at this juncture. and calm.

Even Yang Jing, who was used to being a clay sculpture, was surprisingly no longer silent, and cooperated with Fu Donglai everywhere. It was the first time that the two assistant ministers of the Jiade Dynasty cooperated so tacitly.

Even now, the news of the emperor's coma is only controlled in the Huagai Palace, and all the palaces are kept in the dark.

Fu Donglai ordered someone to secretly invite the imperial doctor, but Dai Quan stopped him, saying that there was a regular imperial doctor in the palace.

Regarding Dai Quan's move of exceeding his authority, Fu Donglai only calmed down for a moment, then nodded in agreement.Dai Quan's status in the palace was so special that even Fu Donglai and Yang Jing made concessions to win him over.

As for the affairs of the chief of ceremonies, the emperor was the first to ask about such a big incident in the harem when he woke up. After a few people discussed it, he asked Dai Quan to send someone to check it out.

"Old Fu Ge, my lords, the two maids and the eunuch committed suicide."

The news of Dai Quan did not bring too many surprises to everyone, maybe they had already guessed it, or maybe they didn't find it strange after seeing more.

"Also, tung oil was found on the roof of the big dry place where His Highness climbed."

In this way, this incident is not an accident.

But after everyone listened, they each returned to their own positions, and did not overstep the boundaries.

Now let's see when the emperor will wake up.

Jia Ying and Song Lvze stood quietly aside, Liu Fang and Lan Tianyu approached at some point, even though Lan Tianyu and Jia Ying did not fight each other, but compared to Jia Ying, he and the civil servant could not urinate in the same pot .

Song Lu, a foreign official, should not be staying here, but he was there when the incident happened, and they would not and would not dare to let him go. After all, Song Lu brought out the Japanese soldiers outside the city with his cronies everywhere. Up and down in the army.

It was also difficult for Song Lv to calm down at this time. For him, this was the first time he stayed so close to the emperor. He should be excited in his heart, but he couldn't be happy. I don't know how many invisible swords and swords I have experienced.

He couldn't help admiring Jia Ying from the bottom of his heart. If it was him, facing the accusations of so many bigwigs in the court, he probably wouldn't be able to leave the palace tonight. Looking at Jia Ying again, his expression was as usual, straight as a pine, not moving. Like a bell.

"Jinshi's background is enviable." Song Lu sighed inwardly.

Unfortunately, he only saw this.

After an unknown amount of time, the imperial doctor came out from the bedroom.

"How is Your Majesty?"

Everyone gathered around.

The imperial doctor wiped the sweat from his forehead with his sleeves, first exchanged colors with Dai Quan, and then said: "Your Majesty is just in a hurry. He is already awake at the moment, but he needs to cultivate more and should not be disturbed by others. All elders and lords If there is anything important, it's better to wait until tomorrow to talk about it."

"Your Majesty announces that Eunuch Dai will enter, and all adults please stay outside and wait."

After finishing speaking, the imperial doctor hurriedly turned around and returned to the hall, as if he was afraid that people would ask him something.

After about a cup of tea, Dai Quan opened the curtain and walked out.

"Old Man Yang, Old Man Fu, my lords, your Majesty has said, let's wait until tomorrow to discuss anything, everything will remain as usual, leaving an old man on duty in Wenyuan Pavilion."

After finishing speaking, he looked at Yang Jing, Fu Donglai and Gu Chunting and said, "Which of the three elders will stay on duty?"

Fu Donglai said: "The old man should stay."

At this time, Fu Donglai will naturally not give up the opportunity to others. Although he is not young, he has been in the cabinet for four years and his temples are gray, but he is not at ease to leave at this time.

"However, there are a lot of things going on in the palace now, and the old man thinks that there is no need to stick to the old rules. In the cabinet, we might as well keep one more person in case of emergencies. It's just this one time. In the future, he will be on duty in Wenyuan Pavilion according to the established system. What do you think? ?”

"This..." Dai Quan hesitated: "Our family has no right to make a decision. We should ask His Majesty for instructions and give the old man an answer."

Then he walked in again.

After a while, he returned to the outside of the hall and said to everyone: "Your Majesty said, this matter will be discussed by several elders, there is no need to ask for instructions."

After finishing speaking, he looked at Jia Ying again.

"Uncle Jingning, because the imperial guards suffered a lot of casualties and the defense of the palace was insufficient, His Majesty appointed Uncle Liujing Ning to guard the Huagai Palace."

"Sir, obey the order."

"It's late at night, everyone, please go home."

After all, he ignored the crowd and walked into the hall.

Liu Fang and Jia Ying clasped their hands together and left first. He was over fifty years old and was hit by a horse on the battlefield again.Lan Tianyu glanced in Jia Ying's direction, but still didn't speak, and left together with Liu Fang. In terms of seniority, he was the same generation as Jia Ying, but in terms of age and seniority, all the men in the Jia family except Jia Ying joined her. They can't even compare, how could they lower their faces and bow their heads to Jia Ying first.

"grown ups."

In the end, Song Lu was left behind, and he didn't know where to go.

The military power of the army outside the city has been handed over, and now he is afraid of irritating the big bosses in the cabinet when he goes back, and he has no relatives in the city, so he can only ask Jia Ying for advice.

"Let's stay overnight in the uncle's mansion. Xi'er should already be waiting outside the palace, so that he doesn't have to wait for me. You can also relax. It won't be until tomorrow at the latest, and the matter will come to a conclusion."

Jia Ying was also in a hurry to return home, but the emperor had orders.

Li Wangfu.

"My lord, why did you come back so late?" Nan Huaien waited at the gate of the mansion early with his family members.

Yang Bi was exhausted, walked side by side with Nan Huai'en into the mansion, and said, "We'll talk about it when we go back to the mansion."

"My lord, that one is here."

Hearing this, Yang Bi hurriedly said, "Where is it? Take me there."

In a quiet courtyard in the palace, there is only one candle flickering in the main hall.

Yang Bi pushed open the door.

"I'm back." Mu Hong leaned on his seat and stepped up, playing with a game of chess alone. After hearing the voice, he raised his head and said to the door.

"When did uncle come?"

"For a while, sit down and talk, how is the situation in the palace?"

Sitting opposite Yang Bi, he said: "Father was shocked to hear about Yang Tong's death, he vomited blood and fainted, and my nephew also saw the imperial doctor, who was indeed the missing one, who had been hidden in the palace by Father. "

Mu Hong nodded and said: "I have already said it to make you feel at ease. I have tried that kind of thing no less than a hundred times in the mansion. I have tried various dosages. Even if it does not die, it is difficult to live long."

No less than a hundred times, that is hundreds of lives.

Sometimes facing this uncle, Yang Bi even felt a kind of fear.

"Who stayed in the palace?" Mu Hong is familiar with the routine in the court. The emperor vomited blood and fainted. Unforeseen.

"Fu Donglai and Gu Chunting stayed, and the emperor asked Jia Ying to guard the palace." Yang Bi talked about the things in the palace.

Mu Hong nodded and said: "Fu Donglai is very considerate. In case of emergency, having two cabinet ministers here will avoid many unnecessary disputes. As for Jia Ying's stay in the palace, before the matter is clarified, The emperor dare not let him leave the palace."

Saying that, he looked at Yang Bi and said, "You don't have to be unwilling, it must be a good thing to stay at this time, this is the first time the emperor has fainted, and there is still a way to go before the funeral. "

"But after all." Yang Bi was a little unwilling.

"Hmph, why don't you understand that once Yang Chen died, the situation would be considered truly chaotic. Since ancient times, the right line has been established, and the world has no orthodoxy, so your chances are even greater."

It's useless to think too much, Yang Bi is not entangled in this matter.

"Uncle knows that Jia Ying has broken the contract. He has killed our hard work for several years."

Mu Hong held Heizi's two fingers in the air for a moment, then slowly fell down, and said, "Got it."

"Then why uncle?"

"Why so calm? Why do you just look at it like this? Why don't you tell the court the handle in your hand?"

Mu Honglian asked three whys, but Yang Bi was silent and didn't answer, but obviously he thought so.

"Life is like chess, there are winners and losers, no matter how good a chess player is, it is impossible to be invincible and invincible. Those who talk about their chess skills are just a frog at the bottom of a well, a generation with high vision and low power. Life is a practice, which not only cultivates the body, but also the mind, which is calmness.”

"You still have a long way to go. It's just a little setback right now. Compared with a long life, it's just the beginning. The old man just endured for 20 years because of an obsession. If it's about hatred, I want to kill you more than you." Jia Ying vented his anger, but if you kill him, can you make up for what you lost?"

Mu Hong looked at Yang Bi with a serious expression and said, "You have to understand that the scenery in your eyes is the whole world, not just Jia Ying."

"If you can't even do this, then you will have no chance with the great position."

Yang Bi also regained his composure at this time, stood up and saluted respectfully: "Uncle taught me, nephew knows."

Mu Hongcai continued: "I wasted a year, I have met many young people, just like the Nan Huai'en next to you, just like Jia Jing back then, but Jia Ying is far smarter than most of his peers, so smart that I think He's like an old fox, he's only smart, but he can bear it."

"Yang Yi sent to hunt down Wu Yuqing's confidants. Wu Yuqing's betrayal stemmed from the conflict with Nan Jin. That is to say, Wu Yuqing, who used to be the housekeeper of Prince Zhao's mansion, could not trust Nan Jin. The old man guessed that Wu Yuqing would have to fight to the death. The reason for escaping from the palace can only be that he knew some secrets of Nan Jin, and it is not difficult to do this with Wu Yuqing's rights in Yang Yi's mansion.

In fact, if Yang Yi hadn't been fascinated by power, she should have doubted Nan Jin's identity, after all, I never showed up.But what is there in Nan Jin that Wu Yuqing should be afraid of?If only the relationship with the former anti-king Yang Huang was exposed, I think Wu Yuqing's performance should not be because of fear. After all, this is not a secret to Yang Yi. There is only one thing that can explain it, that is, he knows about Nan Jin and you The connection between them, I deeply understand that Yang Yi's trip is bound to fail, since it is bound to fail, he is naturally unwilling to be buried with him. "

"Then guess, would Jia Ying know?"

Yang Bi's complexion changed.

Mu Hong smiled and said, "Your worry is unnecessary. If Jia Ying wants to use this to deal with you, don't wait until now."

"But what makes this old man curious is why Jia Ying acts like a normal person and doesn't pay any attention to it, and doesn't tell the emperor in secret."

Yang Bi's heart moved, and he said, "Uncle means that Jia Ying has other plans?"

Mu Hong nodded.

"He wants to rebel?" Yang Bi asked.

Mu Hong sneered and said, "If a rebellion by a different surname can succeed, it's not his turn to take the lead."

Yang Bi understands that this is not empty talk, his uncle has no reverence for the imperial court, if he can see the certainty of success, I am afraid that the world will be in chaos long ago, instead of just supporting a white lotus teacher to add chaos to his father.

"Four kings and eight princes, the founding of the country, has long lost its heyday. Now there is only one of the four palaces left, the Southern Palace, which is still a complete victory, and the Northern Palace is just an empty shell, let alone the East and West Palaces. With Jia In general, the old man tried to rejuvenate the family in the early years, but both Jia Jing and I failed."

"Hehe, revitalizing the lintel, this is probably the only fantasy left in the hearts of the noble children. If it weren't for this, Wang Ziteng would be under the control of others everywhere. Perhaps Jia Ying also had this idea, but he left The road seems to be different from others."

"But no matter what, Jia Ying is not as loyal as people think. As long as people have selfishness, they will have weaknesses."

"It's good to have weaknesses."

It's not that Mu Hong is not angry at Jia Ying's treachery, but as he said before, Jia Ying is very smart, he knows that the things in his hands are not visible, and he wants to take them out logically, and use them as evidence against him , let alone whether it can be done, at least it will take a lot of trouble.

Before that, who knows what kind of changes will happen to the court.

Mu Hong bluffed Shi Ding and Jia Jing for most of his life by relying on these things, but it didn't help Jia Ying at all.

That's because Shi Ding and Jia Jing still had awe in their hearts, the awe of the Tian family, but he couldn't see this kind of awe in Jia Ying.

More importantly, unknowingly, this young junior has gradually become a climate, and it is no longer the time for a random bullet to make him burnt out.

"Is uncle trying to win him over?" Yang Bi shook his head: "My nephew is not optimistic about this, and it's too cheap for him."

Mu Hong shook his head: "For such a person, if you insist on accepting his head to worship, that would be naive. He is qualified to be a chess player, not a pawn. It doesn't have to be an ally, even if he is Enemies can also cooperate, just like the little dramas in Beijing today, if you want to sing wonderfully, you must have a single character, compared to a one-man show, it is much more monotonous."

"As for saying it's cheap for him."

"Young and powerful, he won't have a long way to go, just wait quietly. No matter how bad it is, if one day you can ascend to the Great Treasure, are you still worried that you won't be able to deal with him?"

Rongguofu.

After listening to Jia Zhu's story about what happened on Ningrong Street today, Mother Jia realized how dangerous the situation was.
Mother Jia looked around for a week, not daring to continue thinking.

At this moment, Sister Feng came in, and Mother Jia asked: "The garden has been patrolled by people, and the big family should be more careful."

Sister Feng replied: "I have been searched carefully three times, and the corners and corners, big and small, have passed my eyes. The old lady can sleep peacefully these days."

"That's good." Mother Jia nodded, and said, "Where is Miss Lin? Are you still in Ying'er's residence?"

"Just now there was a message from the palace that the two brothers Ying were left by His Majesty to stay in the palace and imprisoned. There are few people in their mansion and it is deserted. Sister Lin stayed to accompany Baochun and the others."

Jia's mother was still worried and said: "Well, it's not that this mansion is uninhabitable. Her daughter insists on moving back, but there is no one to take care of her. Send someone to ask."

Everyone knew that she was talking about heralding spring, and she was worried about Daiyu and her children.

Sister Feng smiled and said: "Old lady, after all, sister Baochun is in the room of the two Ying brothers. Although the front street and the back street are not a few steps away, it is inconvenient after all. Your boss can't separate the young couple from life to life. .”

Jia's mother looked at Sister Feng and said, "I haven't heard you being so talkative. Don't lock yourself up in the house all the time. You are in charge of this house. Your younger sisters are younger, so they must be taken care of." The people below take advantage of their seniority, they are a good family, no matter how big it is, it is difficult for me to even meet you, so maybe I have to come to your yard to invite you to be willing."

After all these years, if Mother Jia didn't have a close heart to Sister Feng, how could she have allowed her to run the family until now, but between her grandson and granddaughter-in-law, she favored her grandson. Now that Jia Lian has left Beijing, Sister Feng also knows In order to restrain herself, she naturally no longer wanted to see the whole family freeze like this.

"Ancestor."

When Sister Feng heard this, her eyes turned red, and she threw herself into Jia Mu's arms and began to cry.

At the right moment, the sound of cloud boards sounded suddenly on the Ermeng Wall in the outer courtyard.

Mother Jia was startled when she heard it, and asked the mandarin duck beside her, "How many times?"

Yuanyang also showed surprise, looked at Jia Mu and replied, "Four times."

Everyone in the room also stood up in shock, only to hear Jia Mu pointing outside and saying: "Quick, go and ask what's going on!"

Inside the palace.

Staying in the imperial confinement is hard work. Since becoming an official, Jia Ying has only experienced it once and never wants to come again, but he will come here for whatever he is afraid of.

Traveling all the way from Jinan to the capital, and then took painstaking efforts to direct a counter-insurgency. At this time, the body was already tired. After patrolling around the Huagai Palace with exhaustion, Jia Ying returned to the gate of the main hall and took a look inside. , Seeing that there was nothing to do around, he walked to a pillar and leaned against it and fell asleep, and the sound of breathing became thicker after a while.

"Uncle Jingning."

"Uncle Jingning."

Jia Ying seemed to hear someone calling her name in her dream, she opened her eyes and saw Dai Quan's smiling old face.

"Oh, Eunuch Dai, what time is it?"

"Second watch, Uncle Jingning, hurry up and wake up, don't go to sleep, His Majesty has summoned you."

"His Majesty?"

Jia Ying sobered up a lot in an instant, and followed Dai Quan into the room.

In the dormitory, when they reached the outer tent, Dai Quan signaled Jia Ying to stop, and Jia Ying bowed through the curtain, "Minister Jia Ying pays homage to Your Majesty."

"Jia Ying." Jia De's voice came from the bed.

"The minister is here."

"How do I treat you?"

"The holy family is prosperous, and the kindness is the same as the good fortune. The minister can only die and die."

"Just now you said in the hall, 'I asked you with all the officials, and there is a reason for your answer.' What if it's just me asking you?"

Jia Ying seemed to have anticipated this question, and replied unhurriedly: "If your majesty asks me."

"The Liaodong army did not have a roster of flags for the rebels I killed. As far as I know, the rebel leader only mobilized 2 Liaodong troops when he entered the customs. Among the [-] rebels, except for the captured Shanhaiguan guards and the North Outside of Zhili's young and strong, only these [-] people don't know their origins."

"So you ordered the murder?"

"The minister said that they refused to lay down their weapons."

After a pause, he said again: "Of course, this is only one of them."

There was a moment of silence in the hall, and the voice sounded again.

"What about the second?"

"I dare to ask, what should the imperial court or His Majesty do with the [-] rebels who are not registered?"

How to deal with it?
In the main hall, Jia De, who had a pale face and lay on the bed with a soft pillow, fell into deep thought for a moment.

I remember that Fu Donglai once asked him how to deal with the rebels.

His answer was "Rebellious ministers and thieves, you should be killed!"

At that moment, he was murderous. As the emperor, he couldn't tolerate two consecutive betrayals by his subjects, and this time it was his own son, and the frontier army he relied on the most.

But neither Fu Donglai nor Ye Baichuan and Feng Hengshi were in favor of killing the Liaodong frontier army. What would the soldiers of the Northern Expedition think? Jiade also calmed down at that moment.

The emperor, after all, is not unscrupulous and omnipotent.

But if what Jia Ying said is true, then the [-] rebels without a roster and banner are real rebels, and the Liaodong frontier army may be coerced and fooled, so what about the [-] rebels?
Who raised it privately?Yang Yi?
Jia De shook his head, it was only three years before and after Yang Yi left the palace to open the mansion and build the Yamen. In three years, where did he get the experience and financial resources to support 2 private soldiers.You must know that the Han people in Liaodong are rare, and it is impossible for 2 people to disappear at once without the court noticing it.

But why hasn't there been any rumors about it for so many years?Is Liaodong still a great Liaodong?

How will he deal with it?

Of course, it is a thorough investigation to the end, killing them to respect the world.

"Yes, I will investigate clearly, and then issue an order." Jiade thought to himself.

But in this case, it wasn't Jia Ying who killed the rebels, but him, the emperor, who killed the Liaodong frontier army. After all, the imperial court, the people all over the world, and the hundreds of thousands of soldiers who were on the northern expedition didn't know the details.

He is the emperor, how could he explain to the world that his son raised [-] private soldiers in Liaodong behind his back, and behind this also involved those courtiers who shouted "loyal and loyal to the country".

Fu Donglai said that Xungui was rotten from the root, so he didn't know it. It's not that he couldn't order to raid his home, but Jiade never thought of killing Xungui all at once, that's not what a wise king should do.

Only when civil and military are in harmony can the emperor be stable.

So this incident can't be known all over the world, and people's hearts are shining brightly.

You can't kill, you can't kill, you can't let go.

"Cough, cough, cough."

Coughing intermittently, Jiade rested his forehead with one hand, only feeling his whole head was abnormally heavy.

"Your Majesty, it's time to rest." The imperial doctor reminded.

"Stand back." Jade said coldly.

Then Jia De looked outside the curtain again and asked, "Who is the person behind?"

From Jiade's point of view, Jia Ying must know something.

"I don't know."

"Ok?"

"But I know that things will be very troublesome. I am stupid, but I also listen to it: cut the mess with a quick knife."

There was a long silence in the hall before Jiade said: "I believe you, you are truly loyal to me."

"A report came from the former Fanxi army that Wang Ziteng's army had arrived in Bieshabali, and most of the Western Regions had returned to the territory of Dagan. There was also a good news from Yang You's army that the army had reached Taining, the left hinterland of the Xiongnu. "

Jia Ying just listened quietly, but he knew in his heart that the critical moment had finally come, and he had already been preparing for this day.

Just listen to Jia De continuing: "I plan to let you go west after the township test, and lead troops and Yang You to attack the Xiongnu royal court one after another from the east and west roads, so as to draw a complete sentence for the Northern Expedition."

"Can you do it?"

Jia Ying asked: "Your Majesty, dare to ask your Majesty, what capacity should I go to the Western Army with?"

"Governor of the three sides, you will succeed Wang Ziteng to control the army going north on the west road."

The three sides, as well as Gansu, Ningxia, and Yansui, are supposed to be enough. Although Wang Ziteng is the governor of the nine sides, he actually controls only four towns in Shaanxi, only one town more than him.

just
"Your Majesty, as the Governor of the Nine Frontiers, Your Majesty Wang has strict military discipline, strict orders and prohibitions, and frequent successes in battles. The army's morale is all in the commander-in-chief. I am afraid that the generals in the army may be dissatisfied."

"Do you think the official is too young?"

"I don't dare, I just acted truthfully. Your Majesty should know that the minister's family and the palace are related by marriage. In terms of seniority, the minister is considered a junior. If your status is not expensive, you can't compete with his army."

Jia Ying was indeed begging for an official. Although the emperor said he wanted a reward, Jia Ying was worried that the gang of elders in the cabinet would still treat him as a junior, and the light words "too young" greatly discounted this achievement.

He wants to block this road ahead of time.

Of course, it may not be an official who is asked, but that will not be known until after the application.

After a moment of silence, Jiade said: "Lan Tianyu has been in charge of the Western Army for many years as the Marquis of Xining. I think you can do it too."

Jia Ying said: "Your Majesty, please wait for the good news."
