Red Chamber: Bring Xue Baochai home at the beginning

Chapter 236 All unscrupulous words come out, and the start of the quarrel is really safe!

"Old Ancestor, rest first, I have made arrangements to go out of the city."

When Jia Rong heard Mrs. You mention Feng Yibo, she didn't dare to talk about it anymore.

Although he and Feng Yibo are about the same age, Feng Yibo's seniority and status are much higher than his.

If he got provoked, his father Jia Zhen would definitely not let him go.

At the moment, I said goodbye to Mrs. You, and walked around the mansion again.

After all the arrangements were made, Jia Rong rushed back to the temple to report.

After getting the news here, Jia Zhen assigned various deacons overnight.

The people prepare all the banners and poles for use.

I found someone to calculate again, and it was set at Maoshi on the fourth day of the lunar new year.

Please bring the coffin back to the city.

There is already someone hosting here, so I can no longer use myself.

Feng Yibo talked to Jia Zhen and his wife before leaving and returning home.

He just waited until he was doing business in the Ning Mansion, and then went to offer sacrifices.

When he returned home, it was already late.

But as soon as he entered the mansion, Li Shouzhong called him to speak.

The master and apprentice sat opposite each other in the study, Li Shouzhong asked directly:

"How about the Ning Mansion?"

Feng Yibo didn't think too much, and immediately replied:

"Brother Ningfu Zhen has come back from Xiaoci County, and he also brought the Holy Majesty's will to help Ling return to the mansion to park on the fourth day of the Lunar New Year."

Li Shouzhong nodded when he heard the words, with a hesitant expression on his face, he asked again:

"Have you noticed anything unusual in the past few days?"

Feng Yibo felt a little strange when he heard this.

But after thinking about it, he replied honestly:

"If there is anything unusual, it is that the elder of the Ning Mansion swallowed gold and clothed sand, and died of burns."

Li Shouzhong was taken aback when he heard this.

Then he sighed and said:
"Well, so, suicide?"

Seeing that his expression was different, Feng Yibo frowned and said tentatively:

"The meaning of the mentor is that he suspects that someone killed him?"

Li Shouzhong seemed to be in a trance after he finished speaking, and waved his hands upon hearing this.

"Not really, just asking casually."

This sounds like a cover-up.

Without waiting for Feng Yibo to ask again, he still talked about him from left to right, and asked first:
"You don't have to go any more these days?"

Seeing this, Feng Yibo became even more puzzled, and said:

"Brother Zhen came back to sit in town in person, so I won't go."

After thinking about it, he added:

"When Fu Ling returns to the capital, I'll go over to pay homage to him, and I'll count as a relative's etiquette."

Li Shouzhong was a little absent-minded, nodded and stopped talking.

Seeing this, Feng Yibo hesitated for a moment, then said with concern:

"Men, I see that you have always been preoccupied..."

Li Shouzhong came back to his senses upon hearing the words, with a hint of hesitation on his face.

After a while, he sighed heavily and said:

"Hey! Yibo, both the Jia family and the You family are related to you, so it should be right for you to be a patron of Tiekan Temple these few days."

Having said that, his expression became solemn, and he exhorted:

"But you must remember that the You family doesn't care, but the affairs of the Ning Mansion should be kept to a minimum."

Li Shouzhong was a decent man, and he never said anything wrong behind his back.

Today, Feng Yibo was not allowed to come and go to Ning Mansion almost by name.

Hearing this, Feng Yibo was puzzled, so he said directly:
"Master, I still don't quite understand what you said."

Although the Ning Mansion is unbearable, it is only inside.

To be honest, the relationship between Jia Zhen and him is not bad.

"It's precisely because you don't understand that I didn't stop it. The affairs of the Ning Mansion are far more complicated than you think."

Li Shouzhong looked a little complicated, and explained:

"It's okay to just walk around as relatives, but if you walk too close, it will inevitably be troublesome."

Feng Yibo was taken aback when he heard the words, looked at him puzzled, and said:
"Why is this?"

At this time, Li Shouzhong showed a look of reminiscence, and slowly narrated the beginning and the end.

"During Taizu's time, Jia Jing, as the son of Duke Ning's mansion, won the Jinshi again, and he became the most prominent figure among the four princes and eight princes."

Jia Yan and Jia Yuan are the first generation of the Jia family.

From the names they named their descendants, we can see the foresight of the two.

The second generation of the Jia family is the Daizi generation, named: Daihua, Daishan, Daixiu, Dairu...

As soon as you hear it, you can tell that it means to become good and cultivate Confucianism to replace the merits of the army.

If this is not obvious enough, the three generations directly use "wen" as the character generation.

Obviously, the tone has been set for the continuation of the Jia Mansion.

However, the world was initially settled at that time, and there were still wars from time to time.

Jia Daishan and Jia Daihua, as the heirs of the Duke, even personally led troops into battle.

The last one continued the position of the Duke of the State, and the other took the position of the Jingying Jiedu Envoy.

Although the expected effect of the two pioneers was not achieved, it also continued the glory of the Jia family.

Among the next three generations, Jia Fu died young.

Jia She is a standard playboy, ignorant and incompetent.

But Jia Jing and Jia Zheng are very motivated.

In particular, Jia Jing was extremely talented and won the Jinshi at a young age.

He was born as a Jinshi in Yimao Branch, more than [-] years ago.

Jia Jingxun was born in a noble family, and his ancestor Yu Yin was Shanglong, and he was awarded a Jinshi.

If it continues to develop steadily...

It is only a matter of time before he enters the cabinet and becomes the king!
At that time, from Jia Jing, everyone seemed to see the new glory of the Jia family in the future.

"Unfortunately, more than [-] years ago, Ningrong and Rongfu wanted to carry out the old affairs of Zhuge of the Three Kingdoms, and each of the two governments held a branch to support the two princes."

Many people know Zhuge Liang, but many people don't know that Zhuge's family is a famous local family.

Needless to say, Zhuge Liang's status in the Shu Han,

Among his clan brothers, Zhuge Jin was in Sun Wu, and Zhuge was born in Cao Wei.

The three brothers were officials in the Three Kingdoms, and they all held high positions.

This is rare throughout history.

Some people even pass it on according to legend, calling them the "dragon and tiger dogs" of the Zhuge family.

Of course, judging from the situation at the time, the three of them should not have done it intentionally.

But judging from the results, later generations will inevitably feel that this is a means of the big family.

It is a big chess game of the Zhuge family.

Multiple bets!

As the saying goes, don't put all your eggs in one basket.

Feng Yibo actually couldn't understand such a thing.

With the status of the Jia family, as long as they mediate in the middle, they will be impartial.

You shouldn't be involved in such a dilemma!
"The Rong Mansion is very close to the Emperor Taishang, who is still a prince, while the Ning Mansion, headed by Jia Jing, is very close to Taizu's eldest son, Prince Yizhong."

Among the heirs of the Taizu, Prince Yizhong is the eldest, and the Emperor Taishang is the first.

It has been a difficult problem since ancient times to establish a heir and establish an elder.

In particular, Taizu did not establish a prince for a long time, and countless people persuaded him one after another.

There are exactly two branches of the Rongning Second Mansion.

In order to continue the glory of the family, he chose to hedge his bets.

In the eyes of most people, it may be a foolish trick.

But under the circumstances at the time, it was helpless.

Taizu Changshou monopolized the universe and killed all the nobles.

The new generation of family leaders in each government does not have the prestige of the elders.

They can only passively participate in this struggle.

Although no one dared to say anything more clearly, the battle in the dark was fierce.

No one can stay out of it!
"It's fine if it's just to seize the heir, but after the Supreme Emperor ascended the throne, Prince Yizhong did not give up."

As soon as these words came out, Feng Yibo was taken aback.

If you don't give up after losing, isn't that rebellion?
But he had never heard of these secrets, and had no idea that such a major event had happened.

This shows the importance of family inheritance.

The Feng family is just an ordinary eunuch's family, even though his father once served in the Ministry of War in Nanjing.

However, he obviously didn't know much about the major events in the capital.

In particular, Feng's father passed away early.

Even if he knew, it was too late, or unnecessary, to tell Feng Yibo these things.

"13 years ago, Prince Yizhong rebelled and planned to assassinate the Supreme Emperor in Iron Net Mountain. Although he failed and died, the Supreme Emperor was also seriously injured because of this, so he hastily passed the throne to the current emperor."

Thirteen years ago, Emperor Tiantai took the Zen throne.

Now it is in the great position, and it was changed to Yuan Jingshun the next year.

Feng Yibo knew about this, but he didn't know the reason.

Unexpectedly, there is such a secret hidden in it.

but……

"Could it be that the Ning Mansion... also participated in the assassination of the king?"

its not right!
After Feng Yibo finished speaking, something was absolutely wrong.

If Jia Jing had participated in the assassination, the family would have been ransacked and exterminated by now, right?

Sure enough, when Li Shouzhong heard his question, he shook his head slightly and said:
"Although Jia Jing didn't participate, after the Empress Dowager ascended the throne, he and Prince Yizhong still had a relationship. If the investigation is carried out, it may be difficult to get rid of the relationship."

Both the founding nobles and the royal family originated in Jinling, so it is inevitable that they are related.

Even if Prince Yizhong loses power, it's normal to come and go some times.

But Prince Yizhong planned to assassinate the emperor, needless to say if he succeeded.

But he failed, so it's not that simple.

I'm afraid it will involve countless things!
"It's not just him, half of the four princes and eight princes have been implicated in this matter."

Sure enough, it's no wonder that many titles of the founding lords have dropped so quickly!

Feng Yibo always thought that the Supreme Emperor did it on purpose.

Reducing the influence and power of nobles is what every qualified emperor should do after ascending to the throne.

Unexpectedly, he guessed wrong.

It's not the emperor's means to do it for a long time.

But being implicated!

"At that time, Jia Jing was also afraid of hurting his family, so he resigned from office and gave up his title. He was imprisoned in Huizhen Temple. He heard that he only came back every year on New Year's Eve to worship his ancestors, and ignored the rest."

Jia Jing never participated in the "funeral" of Keqing's grandson-in-law.

I only asked someone to say it, and stayed in the mountains to practice Taoism.

Feng Yibo thought he was really obsessed with this, and wanted to seek longevity.

Unexpectedly, Jia Jing was indeed seeking relief.

But it is obviously not for cultivating immortals, but for the family.

"Among the four kings and eight princes, those who were implicated in this matter were either imprisoned themselves, or they were replaced and demoted to the next rank."

Even so, the Four Kings and Eight Dukes should not be underestimated.

One can imagine how strong their faction was back then.

Feng Yibo didn't expect that what he came into contact with was the "weakened" version.

Even so, impeach him and leave the field.

It can be seen how deep the foundation of the four princes and eight princes is in the ruling and opposition parties.

"Moreover, now they all respect Prince Zhongshun at a distance, and they dare not have any connection, and it is precisely because of this."

No wonder!
Before, Feng Yibo wondered why the Jia family and other nobles didn't go out with Prince Zhongshun.

He thought it was Prince Zhongshun who was in charge of the Dragon Scale Guards, and he didn't have any contact with them.

I didn't expect it to be because of this!
"There is also the eldest son of the historian, Shi Nai (pronounced the same as Mi), who died in Iron Net Mountain in order to save him, so he has a family of two princes in the current historian."

Shi Nai, the eldest son of Shi, is Shi Xiangyun's father.

Xiangyun is one year younger than Daiyu, exactly 13 years old this year.

No wonder she was raised in her uncle's house when she was still a baby.

It turned out that it started because of this!

No wonder the historians are different from others among the founding nobles.

It is still used today.

The historian's two marquises are both big officials in the frontier, guarding one side quietly.

"It turns out there are such secrets."

Hearing this, Feng Yibo couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

It is said that the Rong Mansion is more dandy, but the Ning Mansion is even more powerful.

Even involved in the rebellion!

Looking at it this way, Jia pardons the dude and Jia Zheng is pedantic.

The most is to let the Jia family gradually decline, but there is no worry about inheritance.

Although Jia Jing is excellent, he almost broke the roots of the Jia clan!

"So, my mentor suspects Jia Jing's death..."

Obviously, what Feng Yibo asked was the Supreme Emperor.

If Jia Jing was really involved in the assassination, then the Supreme Emperor would have a reason to kill him.

There is also this strength that makes him die quietly.

but……

"no need."

Li Shouzhong shook his head and said directly:
"If that person wanted him to die, he would have died many times already."

After a pause, he added:

"It's probably because he felt that he was full of sins, so he committed suicide by swallowing gold."

Feng Yibo heard the words, but he didn't think so.

The Taishanghuang was assassinated and seriously injured, and he was also given the Zen throne.

It can't be said that the investigation has not been given up all these years.

Even if it is slightly involved, it is easy to kill directly.

If the evidence is found, it will be unknown if the family is ransacked!
Coming out of the study, Feng Yibo was still digesting these secrets in his heart.

This is the advantage of having a foundation, and you may be able to save your life at any time.

It seems that he has to keep a distance from the four kings and eight princes, especially those who have been demoted to the rank of Xijue.

As long as the Supreme Emperor is still there, no one can be involved.

This is a ticking time bomb!

While thinking about it, he went to Sanjie You's side to rest.

He said a few words about the situation in the Ning Mansion, and he was concerned about the situation of the second sister.

The second sister You has been pregnant for more than three months, and the pregnancy reaction gradually stopped.

Now follow Feng Yibo's request every day.

Meat, eggs, milk, vegetables and fruits are all available.

But I dare not let her eat more.

This is because, at this time, it is all up to oneself to have a child.

Not eating is easy to lack nutrition, but eating too much may be fatal.

If the child grows too large in the womb, it will be difficult to deliver.

At the same time, Feng Yibo also asked her to maintain an appropriate amount of activity to avoid being too weak.

The two people here were talking, and the third sister You entangled her.

Her sister is pregnant, so she inevitably has a feeling of comparison in her heart.

No more words for a night of lingering.

On the fourth day of the lunar new year, Jia Zhen helped Ling go back home.

Along the way, funeral ceremonies are held, and there are many guests.

From Tiekan Temple to Ningfu, there are more than tens of thousands of people looking at each other!

Among them, some lamented the glory of Ningguo's ancestors, and some envied Ningguo's power.

There is also a class of sour and corrupt scholars who say that "funeral rites are more expensive than extravagance".

In short, passers-by talked about Jia's mansion.

Before the application was made, the coffin was finally transported to Ningfu and parked in the main hall.

There are people from all the prefectures in the capital.

After the funeral and mourning, relatives and friends gradually dispersed.

Feng Yibo remembered Li Shouzhong's advice in his heart, and didn't want to stay longer.

Go to the past to pay tribute.Then he said goodbye in a hurry.

For a while, only the members of the Jia clan remained.

Handle things like welcoming and seeing off guests.

All the close relatives of the Jia family are still in Xiaoci County and have not returned.

Only Baoyu and a few juniors were here to accompany the sacrifice for a while.

Jia Zhen and Jia Rong, father and son, are bound by etiquette at this time.

I can't help but borrow straw pillows beside my soul, hating living in mourning.

After the people dispersed, Baoyu went directly back to Rongfu.

Jia Zhen and his son went to the backyard to find concubines for fun.

[Today's interpretation of Ningfu's old affairs in this chapter still meets the expectations of the bosses? 】
