Turning the tide in the Red Chamber

Chapter 68 [068] The Fourth Grade Imperial Swordsman Guard
Filled with righteous indignation, Jia Chen replied impassionedly:
"Because Wen Kan scolded the descendants of the Jia family as spineless bastards in the street, that is to say, he scolded the two generations of Ning and Rong as dogs.

Our Jia family is full of loyal and loyal ancestors. Our ancestors rose from the dragon and fought bloody battles for the Great Zhou Dynasty.

There are countless Jia Jiaerlang who sacrificed their lives for the country. They used their blood and lives to expand the territory of the Great Zhou. Under the wise command of the Emperor Taizu, they fought side by side with the soldiers and followed suit. .

In order to commend the meritorious service of the first Ning and Rong, the Emperor Taizu wrote "The descendants of the descendants have inherited the blessings, and the people of the Li family have read Rongning." It has been worshiped with incense and fire from generation to generation.

Could it be that Wen Kan, as the son of the Minister of Rites, can be disrespectful to the two generations of Ning and Rong?What kind of peerless feat did Wen Kan make that dared to call the ancestors of the Jia family a dog?
As a descendant of the Jia family, how can I allow you to insult your ancestors?

If I beat you lightly, I should kill you in the street. "

As he said that, Jia Chen gave Wen Kan a hard look, almost scaring him to pee.

Emperor Chongrui was excited by Jia Chen's words. His great-grandfather changed the dynasty back then, relying on the swearing-in of the founding heroes including the Second Duke Ning Rong and fighting with their lives.

But now, he is sharpening his sword and preparing to attack the founding family. Is it really right to do so?
"Jia Chen, you said just now that you beat Wen Kan to share my worries, what's the explanation?"

Jia Chen said neither humble nor overbearing:
"Because Wen Kan insulted Second Duke Ning Rong in public, if he doesn't beat him up immediately, if it spreads out, what will the Jianguo family think?
What will the people of Dazhou think?
Does the Chongrui lineage have the right to insult the founding lineage?

And the Chongrui lineage is a confidant minister promoted by His Majesty, how will this make the founding lineage and the people think of His Majesty?

Would they suspect that what Wen Kan said was actually what His Majesty wanted to say?

Will the founder of the country be chilled?

Will the people of Dazhou be chilled? "

Emperor Chongrui's expression changed slightly. He never expected that Jia Chen would dare to speak out about the party struggle between the founding clan and the Chongrui clan in front of him.

Although this was already an open secret, all civil and military officials in the court, including himself, kept it secret and would not say it in public.

However, Jia Chen risked the world's displeasure and said it face to face. This seemingly reckless courage may have been comparable to the champion Hou Huo Qubing.

Not bad!This kid Jia Chen is straightforward and has no plots.

Isn't this just the general talent I dreamed of?

If the general in charge of the heavy army is a person with a deep city, it will make Emperor Chongrui feel restless and fidgety.

Jia Chen also had this in mind, so he would express his feelings without any scruples. Anyway, he was only thirteen years old, and pretending to be reckless could make Emperor Chongrui let go of his guard. , but will be feared by Emperor Chongrui.

Sure enough, as Jia Chen expected, at this time, Emperor Chongrui added the word "loyal and straight" to his evaluation.

Dai Quan wanted to help Jia Chen, but he didn't expect that Jia Chen would dare to expose the party dispute in front of His Majesty, which is equivalent to uncovering the fig leaf of the disputes in the Great Zhou Dynasty.

Dai Quan secretly winked at Jia Chen, telling him to stop talking.

Jia Chen caught a glimpse of him winking at him, and knew that he had good intentions, but Jia Chen also saw that Emperor Chongrui was not really annoyed, so he continued:

"Caomin has no official position, so they shouldn't discuss government affairs indiscriminately, but the spirit of Ning Rong Er Gong, who is represented by Caomin, is to cater to the aspirations of the people of the Great Zhou, and to ensure the stability of the Great Zhou Dynasty and the harmony of the government. Violently beat Wen Kan in the street to appease the founding family and the common people."

Emperor Chongrui nodded thoughtfully. Although he wanted to clean up the founding lineage, the time was not yet ripe.

Moreover, if Jia Chen, a young hero, is willing to be loyal to me, then I can help him take charge of the Jia family, and even control the entire Jianguo sect. In this way, there is no need to go to great lengths to eradicate the Jianguo sect.

Thinking of this, Emperor Chongrui stared into Jia Chen's eyes and said with a smile:

"Jia Chen, your impassioned statement just now seems to be impulsive, and it does have some truth, but you beat Wupinlong Banwei Wen Kan in the street, which is equivalent to committing a crime like beating a court official. Are you guilty?"

Seeing Emperor Chongrui's smile, Jia Chen knew that he was just acting on the occasion and would not really punish himself, so he pretended to be remorseful and said sadly:
"The grassroots are convicted."

Emperor Chongrui turned his head to look at Dai Quan and asked:

"Big Companion, what crime should be punished according to the "Law of the Great Zhou" for beating an official ordered by the grassroots?"

Dai Quan frowned, and responded with some hesitation:
"Should be exiled for two thousand miles."

Both Wen Tiren and Wen Kan looked happy, wishing that Jia Chen would die on the road to exile.

However, Emperor Chongrui sighed softly:

"Jia Chen is an eminent hero of martial arts. He is also highly skilled in martial arts and loyal to the country. He is my future general. I don't want to punish Jia Chen, buddy. Help me find a way."

These words were like a basin of cold water pouring on Wen Tiren and Wen Kan's heads.

According to His Majesty's intentions, not only will Jia Chen not be punished, but Jia Chen will be reused and let him be the general in command of the army in the future.

Dai Quan also heard the meaning, he was overjoyed immediately, and said with a smile:

"Your Majesty, you don't need to worry. You only need to promote Jia Chen to be the fifth-ranked dragon forbidden captain, equal to Wen Kan, and Jia Chen can be exempted from the crimes committed by his subordinates."

Emperor Chongrui pondered for a moment, then smiled playfully and said:
"It's not beautiful to fight each other at the same level. I canonized Jia Chen as the fourth-rank imperial guard with a sword."

Wen Tiren and Wen Kan gasped at the same time, feeling cold all over their bodies.

You know, although the chaos of selling officials and nobles is common in Dazhou, the most noble children can spend money to buy a five-rank dragon forbidden captain.

The official position of a fourth-rank military officer cannot be bought or sold. Only after passing the military examination can one hope to be appointed as a fourth-rank military officer.

Jia Chen was only thirteen years old, and had never taken the martial arts exam at all. He was unexpectedly promoted by Emperor Chongrui to be a fourth-rank guard with a sword in front of the imperial court, which shows how much Emperor Chongrui thinks highly of him!
Wen Kan was so angry that his teeth were itching. He and his father came to sue, not only failed to convict Jia Chen, but also promoted this kid from a grassroots to a fourth-rank military officer. His plan was in vain.

While Wen Tiren was shocked, his spine felt chills and his heart trembled.

Emperor Chongrui has a good eye for Jia Chen, and Jia Chen is afraid that he will rise to the top in the future, but his son Wen Kan has offended him. When Jia Chen is in power, the Wen family may be wiped out!
Old and cunning, Wen Tiren hurriedly saluted Emperor Chongrui and said with a smile:

"Your Majesty is wise! This time it's all about the dog's unrestrained behavior and his words. He dared to insult the two founding heroes of Ning Rong. After returning to the mansion, I must strictly discipline the dog and order him to change his past!"

The corners of Emperor Chongrui's lips raised slightly, and he smiled lightly and said:

"Correct when you know a mistake. There is nothing good about it. Wen Kan has learned his lesson this time. From now on, you should be cautious in your words and deeds, self-restraint and devotion to public service. If you dare to insult heroes again, then I will not only punish Wen Kan, but also you, Wen Tiren, for lax discipline." !"

Wen Tiren hastily pulled Wen Kan to kneel down on the ground, kowtowed:
"The minister and the dog are sincere and fearful, and they will regard His Majesty's words as the standard, reflect on themselves, and dare not show any disrespect to the founding heroes!"

Emperor Chongrui stretched out his hand to help, and said lightly:
"Be flat."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Wen Tiren and Wen Kan tremblingly kowtowed to thank you.

After standing up, Wen Tiren endured the shame and saluted Jia Chen:
"Today is the dog who is rebellious and disrespectful. He has no respect for his elders. His words offended two generations of Ning and Rong. Please also ask Mr. Jia to be more generous and take care of him. When another day, the old man will definitely bring the dog to the door to apologize!"

On the other side, in Rongqing Hall of Rongguo Mansion.

Jia Zheng knelt down in front of Jia's mother and begged eagerly:

"Old lady, my son has something to ask. Jia Chen injured Dai Quan, the head of the Daming Palace. Just now Dai Quan led people to arrest Jia Chen and punish him in the palace. He also asked the old lady to come into the palace to help make peace. , save Chen'er's life!"
