Red Mansion Royal Cat

Chapter 269 Minister Jia Cong Pleads for Order to Leave Beijing

Jia Cong, who was in charge of serving tea and pouring water, trembled and almost poured the tea on the ground.

This Shi Nai is really crazy. He was able to go to the Sichuan capital to command the envoy. It was not because he asked someone to find connections and take money to open the way. To put it bluntly, it was the emperor's warning to historians, and it was also the last chance for historians.

Previously, the imperial decree ordered Shui Rong to lead troops to the south, so many people in Beijing avoided him like snakes and scorpions, and even some Wu Xun disciples had their legs broken by their parents, they were unwilling to have anything to do with Shui Rong.

It's not that these people are not loyal to the emperor and patriotic, and they are timid and avoid war.It is precisely because of loyalty to the emperor and patriotism that he chose to lie on the bed with a broken leg rather than go south with the water.

The most important thing is that you lost the fucking fight, and let tens of thousands of soldiers and civilians in Zhen'an Mansion die tragically under the butcher knife of South Vietnam monkeys for your own sake. The Baolinghou Mansion has been passed down for nearly a hundred years for three generations, and I am afraid that it will really end in Yuanyou six years.

"According to what Hong Zhengyuan said, Shi Nai, a disgraceful bastard, was attacked when the army was attacked. He threw down the commander's flag and fled with his own soldiers. His Majesty was furious and ordered the third division to send people south. If this is true, Shi Nai's head..."

Ugh!
Jia She wished to fly to Guangxi and hack this bastard to death. This shameful bastard, the old Marquis will be strong all his life, and the elder brother of the Shi family is so brave and fierce.

The old lady struggled to listen to Jia She's explanation, her complexion pale and trembling.She pursed her lips and tried her best to keep calm. After a moment of silence, she asked, "Did His Majesty send you an errand? Did you want you to go south?"

"Yes, it's not..."

Jia Amnesty clenched his fists, it would be great if he could go directly to Guangxi to kill monkeys.

He sighed and said: "The war in Guangxi is rotten, and the efficiency of sending reinforcements from the capital is too inefficient. His Majesty has ordered Yunnan Mu Wangfu to send troops to Guangxi in order to temporarily stabilize the situation. My son is indeed going south, but not directly to Guangxi, but Go to Jinling."

Ok?
Everyone in the room was a little puzzled, why did they go to Jinling?
Jia Amnesty simply said that the emperor planned to transfer a total of [-] soldiers and horses from the Jiangnan Daying Land Division and the Songjiang Navy to go south via the navy and warships.

The old lady didn't know much about these things, and she didn't ask about the departure time after asking, but she was a little worried about whether the eldest son would be in danger leading the army.

It is said that the monkeys in Nanyue are like ghosts eating hearts and lungs, and tens of thousands of soldiers and civilians in the entire Zhen'an Prefecture were eaten up.

Jia Cong was a little curious, but temporarily held back after receiving the sign from his father's eyes.

But Jia Jing suddenly said: "Since Brother She is going south to Jinling, I will stay in the capital to guard the house and take Brother Rong and Brother Qian there."

"Why let the children follow? There are only a few seedlings in our family, we can't throw them all on the battlefield."

The old lady's worries became more and more serious. In the past, her children and grandchildren were around her knees, but today, there are only a few little girls left by her side...

She didn't show it on weekdays, but since Jia Lian and his wife went to Jiangnan, the old lady finally felt the inexplicable sadness.

Jia Jing sighed slightly, and explained to the old lady: "Brother Qiang is about the same age as Brother Rong, and he has not yet married and started a business. My nephew, who is an uncle, has to plan for his future. Our military family, Brother Qiang Er is not a seed for studying, so I can only let him go to the army to try. Auntie, do you still remember the incident when Tu Ma came to the house a few days ago?"

The old lady nodded. A few days ago, the Rongguo Mansion hosted a banquet for the congratulatory guests. Princess Deqing came here with Tu Shizhong, the captain-in-law. Tu Shizhong talked with Jia Jing alone for a long time.

I saw Jia Jing smiled and said: "Consort Tu intends to marry his daughter to Brother Qiang. Although it is only a verbal agreement, it is almost inseparable. My nephew originally planned to let Brother Qiang go to Yansui Town to practice and practice. It’s a kindness, but now that Brother Xie is leading the army, let him go to the battlefield.”

In fact, it was Tu Siqi, the daughter of the eldest princess Deqing, who really fell in love with Jia Qiang. The Jia family looked good.

Jia Rong and Jia Qiang are the best-looking of the two brothers, but Jia Rong is more feminine.On the contrary, it was Jia Qiang who was quite heroic, at least because of her appearance, she was more attractive to Tu Siqi.

Jia Qiang is the decent great-great-grandson of the Ningguo Mansion, and she has been messing around a bit in the past few years. Since Jia Jing returned to the mansion to preside over the overall situation, there have been at least half a month of non-stop writing. The writing is not very good, but he has become fond of dancing guns Come on, for a year, he was really good at bow and horse under the teaching of the soldiers of Ningguo Mansion.

A few days ago, the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion practiced the selection of talents, and Jia Jing put his name on the list of the big competition, unexpectedly he entered the top [-].

Although it is not top-notch, it can be regarded as a highly qualified evaluation, and the Dudu Mansion also gave a chance to be a candidate for a seventh-rank military position.

As for Tu Siqi meeting Jia Qiang, the main reason is that the royal princess liked military affairs since she was a child, so she quietly went to the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion to watch the excitement.

When Jia Qiang hit seven of the seven arrows, he happened to be in his eyes, and then Tu Shizhong, the son-in-law captain, "met" Jia Qiang and investigated the matter.

After beating Jia Jing and returning home, he did not think much about Jia Qiang's marriage.It's a pity that Jia Qiang's reputation was really not very good in the past few years. How could a well-matched family in Beijing push their daughter into the kang.

It never occurred to me that Jia Qiang had the appearance of a prodigal son, but he fell into the eyes of the princess of the royal family. It was really a coincidence.

Although his family background is not bad, Jia Jing still feels that Jia Qiang needs to be given a status, and it is best for him to earn it himself.

This is a good thing, but the old lady still has some worries.

The main reason is that Tu Siqi's reputation among the officials is not very good. The old lady still remembers the conflict at the royal stud.

She hesitated again and again, and persuaded: "Has Jing'er ever thought about Princess Tu's temperament? Brother Qiang'er's parents left early, you have to think carefully about his marriage, and don't let criticism and complaints come."

What the old lady said made sense. Jia Qiang was a decent great-great-grandson of the Ningguo Mansion, and his parents died early. This marriage is not good. Some people will say that Jia Jing does not feel sorry for his nephew and grandson. The bane of the next brother's quarrel.

Of course, this is because the old lady doesn't know enough about Tu Siqi. At least in Jia Cong's opinion, Tu Siqi is not a traditional lady, but she is definitely better than many pretentious women.

Jia Qiang's situation really lacks a wife who can stand up and help him. Tu Siqi is the serious nephew of the emperor, and Jia Qiang's future may depend on Tu Siqi's frequent visits to the palace...

……

This marriage, which was only a verbal agreement, has not yet been written off. Jia Jing mentioned it and said nothing else, but asked the old lady to find opportunities for Jia Qiang to buy some properties in the suburbs of Beijing.

Everything is complicated, except for the girls in the family, Baoyu, Jia Huan and little Jialan, the rest are not in the mood to celebrate the New Year.

The imperial court once again issued an edict to recruit recruits from Liangjiazi in the prefectures of Gyeonggi Province to enrich Huben, Shenwu, and Left and Right Wuwei.

In addition, [-] tigers, [-] feathers, [-] Zuowei and [-] Youwei were transferred. They were led by the governor of the Chinese army, the deputy envoy of the Jingying Jiedu, and Jia She, the Marquis of Rongguo, to help the war in South Vietnam.

The Ministry of Household Affairs, the Ministry of War, and the Ministry of Industry distributed grain, grass, and military equipment as quickly as possible. Jia She moved to the barracks on the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, and began to adjust the generals to prepare for the departure of the next year.

Ningrong Jia’s family is not just Jia Amnesty leading the troops southward, but also Mr. Zheng has received the exact news. On the day after the Shangyuan Festival, when the imperial court opens the seal, the appointment of officials will come down. Mr. Zheng will lead Zhejiang as the Minister of Rites road.

It was originally planned for Jia Jing to escort Jinse and Daiyu to the south of the Yangtze River, but now that the two brothers She and Zheng are going to leave Beijing, there must be someone who can hold them at home.

Therefore, the old lady persuaded Jinse and Daiyu to postpone going south.Wait for the weather to warm up in March, and then look for opportunities to go south to reunite with Lin Ruhai.

Jia Cong returned to a peaceful life of reading and practicing calligraphy after several days of quarreling and failing to obtain permission to join the army.

This kind of comfort can be maintained until after the Shangyuan Festival, on the twentieth day of the first lunar month, Grand Master She led the troops out of Beijing, and the emperor sent the fourth son of the emperor, Liu Hong, to send him off on behalf of heaven.

Looking at the figure going away, Jia Cong felt for the first time that after leaving this unreliable father, his heart felt empty.

After returning to the house, Jia Cong was stunned for a while, distracted from reading, forgetting to write, Daiyu saw that she was anxious, and finally hugged him in her arms with a blushing face, so that she could feel safe and sound, and then she cheered up again.

On the 22nd day of the first lunar month, Baoyu and Xiangyun officially got engaged.

Not only the virtuous concubine Yuanchun bestowed rewards, but also the royal concubine Yang, who was in charge of the Phoenix seal, decreed a marriage.

For some reason, the Supreme Emperor remembered the old historian Hou Ye and Shi Yu, the father of Xiangyun who died in the battle in southern Xinjiang, and bestowed a jade ruyi in the name of the empress dowager.As a result, all the concubines in the palace changed their attitudes, and many rewards were sent.

The Rongguo Mansion, which originally didn't intend to make a fuss, had to open the middle door to welcome the angels in the palace and the guests who came one after another. The political master, who had not yet set off for the south, was the only remaining head of the Rongguo Mansion, and finally passed out drunk at the wine table superior.

On the 25th of the first lunar month, Jia Zheng went south to Zhejiang, and the Rongguo Mansion began to guard the door and fell silent.

Except for Jia Cong who entered the palace every five days to accompany the future crown prince to study and practice martial arts, or went to the Dragon Head Palace to hug the old man's thigh, the walls of Rongguo Mansion completely divided the inside and outside into two worlds.

On the second day of February, when the dragon looked up, Jia Cong was studying the sage's words in the study, when Jia Shiyi knocked on the door suddenly and came in.

"Little Sanye, something happened in Shandong, there were bandits in Qufu, and the Yanshenggong Mansion was in chaos. Mr. Qingteng, who was ordered to inspect and monitor Shandong, disappeared..."

……

Years ago, the emperor issued a decree for the case of Confucian family affairs involved in the case of Furong ointment in Literary Residence.

Kong Renxuan, the contemporary Yanshenggong, set off after the year and was going to come to Beijing for an audience. Unexpectedly, within two days after he left, the White Lotus Sect broke out in Qufu. The members of the Kong family were killed, including Kong Renxuan's eldest son, Kong Shiren, the eldest son of Yansheng Gongfu, who was killed by the bandits.

Kong Renyuan, the magistrate of Qufu County, committed suicide in shame, and Xu Jin, an imperial envoy who was patrolling Yanzhou Prefecture, hurried to Qufu to sit in town.

Unexpectedly, nearly a thousand white lotus bandits were encountered on the way, and Xu Jin, who had brought only two or three hundred guards, has since disappeared. After three days of unsuccessful searches, Liu Guoliang, the prefect of Yanzhou, finally couldn't bear the pressure and sent the news to the capital to request an order.

Shandong is adjacent to Gyeonggi, and Yanzhou is a strategically important place guarding the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal. The war in southern Xinjiang has just suffered a setback. At this time, the Bailian riots broke out, and the entire capital was shaken.

The most important thing is that Xu Jin's trip to Shandong this time is not just a simple inspection, he also has the emperor's secret order to strictly investigate the Confucius family.

No one would have thought that Yanshenggong Mansion, which had thousands of "private soldiers", would be broken into by hundreds of white lotus bandits and burnt to the ground.

"Bang!"

"Do you really think I'm a fool? It's a coincidence that I sent people to Shandong, and Yan Shenggong's mansion was completely burned down..."

Before Jia Cong entered the Hall of Qinzheng, he heard the sound of the emperor smashing things and anger from inside.

He straightened his clothes and walked in.

Whoosh!
Jia Cong took advantage of the situation to dodge, and a memorial flew past his ear.

"What are you doing here? Go back and read your book!"

There were only three people in the hall, the emperor Liu Heng, the great eunuch Xia Shouzhong, and the Dragon Guards all commanded Cao Jiugong.

Jia Cong picked up the memorial, stepped forward and said: "My minister, Jia Cong, please order me to go out of Beijing and go to Shandong to put an end to the chaos!"

The emperor spat out a word without hesitation: "Get lost!"

Jia Cong was unmoved, and bowed deeply: "My minister, Jia Cong, please order me to go out of Beijing and go to Shandong to put an end to the chaos. I also ask for your majesty's permission!"

"All the ministers of the DPRK and China are dead? Need you, a young child, to quell the chaos?"

The emperor waved his hand impatiently: "Go back and study hard, I haven't reached the point where no one can use me!"

Jia Cong shook his head, and said very solemnly: "Your Majesty, at present, only the minister is the most suitable candidate."

"Get out, get out, get out, I'm just getting annoyed, so don't make trouble."

The emperor was upset, and waved away Jia Cong who was begging for his life.

But Cao Jiugong suddenly persuaded him: "Your Majesty, you might as well listen to General Xiao Jia's reasons before making any plans."

The sudden incident in Yanzhou did cause the emperor some headaches.It is easy to send officials from the court to put down the chaos. Once the master Wang arrives, the bandits will be like chickens and dogs.

But the most important point is that the original plan for the Confucian family in Qufu will be shelved.

Jia Cong took out a memorial and bowed to present it.The Emperor opened it for a quick look, then snapped it shut.

The emperor took a deep breath and his face became serious.

He stared at Jia Cong for a long time, and finally sighed: "Jia Cong, do you know what the consequences will be if you do this? If you can't find evidence by then, your actions will make you a target! Literary people criticize the pen, even I may not be able to keep you."

Jia Cong's originally solemn face suddenly changed into a smile, and he replied calmly: "I have already thought about it very clearly. My teacher is still in Yanzhou. Whether it is public or private, I have to go to Yanzhou. As for what His Majesty said, I am [-]% sure...Of course, I still need to ask His Majesty for an imperial decree, and at the same time borrow a few people from Eunuch Xia."

……

Yanzhou, Jia Cong had to go.

Since becoming a teacher of Xu Jin, this teacher who hardly explained the Four Books and Five Classics to Jia Cong has allowed Jia Cong to learn more precious knowledge.

In Beijing, he often took Jia Cong in and out of various yamen, and went deep into the fields and markets, allowing Jia Cong to understand the operation of the court, the rules of the officialdom, as well as the sufferings of the people and the expectations of the people in the shortest possible time.

It also made Jia Cong deeply understand the meaning of reliving his life. Romance is good, and dude is comfortable.

But a person has to leave traces in the world in his lifetime. If not, wouldn't he be sorry for the new life bestowed on him by God.

The emperor decreed that Liu Ke, Prince Zhongshun, would be the imperial envoy, and Jia Cong would be the deputy envoy. They would lead [-] troops from the Beijing camp out of Beijing and go to Shandong to quell the chaos.

Jia Cong didn't go back to Rongguo Mansion immediately after leaving the palace, but turned to the west of the imperial city, and came to the clarification workshop outside Dong'an Gate.

"Inner House Secretary!"

Riding on the horse, Jia Cong looked up at the plaque with gold lacquer and red background.

The warriors guarding the gate clearly saw the tattoo on Jia Cong's purple official robe, and the fat orange cat with squinting eyes and hands in his hands seemed to be smiling, which made them tremble in their hearts.

The Secretary of Internal Affairs hasn't done anything to offend the Jia family recently, right? Why is this young master here?

Jia Shixi patted his horse forward, and said in a deep voice, "My lord came here by order, and let Xia Jiang, the head of the Department of Internal Affairs, come out to greet him."
