Corrupt official in the Red Chamber

Chapter 467 The situation is strange

Seeing Jia She sitting down, Jia Mu looked at Jia Rui again, "Brother Rui, Lian'er has been in the ancestral hall for a few days. I think he already knows that he is wrong. If you want me to see it, why don't you just look at it?" Let him out."

When Jia Rui was at home, he received instructions from the old lady Jia Dairu, so this time he no longer obstructed him. "Since the old lady said so, I will let him out for your sake."

Mother Jia finally smiled again. She patted her thigh and said, "That's how it should be. Everything will be happy for the family."

Jia Rui just said a few words casually, but in fact he was extremely impatient with Jia Lian, causing trouble for himself every time. If the old man and the old lady weren't watching, Jia Rui would have thrown Jia Lian into the army.

Jia Rui didn't believe it. After arriving in the army, Jia Lian could sneak back?

"Old lady, let me put you back, but let's be clear. Jia Lian made a mistake this time. We can't just let it go. Let him go back in two days, otherwise it will delay the court's affairs. The censor knows No, I can't save him."

After hearing what Jia Rui said, Jia's mother thought for a moment and said: "Brother Rui, Jia Lian's temperament makes it difficult for him to let him go to the northwest to become an official. I want to see how I can arrange an inconspicuous little job for him in the capital." Forget it."

In Jia Mu's view, being an official in Beijing is the same as it is experience. Why go to those remote places?

Jia Rui didn't even look at Jia Mu, "Old lady, this is a matter for the imperial court to select talents and use talents, so please don't interfere."

Mother Jia was a little embarrassed.

Although Jia Rui is now in a high position, and can even be said to be the head of the world, Jia's mother has gradually adapted to Jia Rui's insistence on words in the Jia family, but her previous self-centered temperament still comes out from time to time.

"If the old lady has nothing to do, I'll leave first. After all, it's getting late."

After saying that, Jia Rui stood up and wanted to leave.

Jia Mu quickly ordered someone to stop him, "Wait a moment, I have something else to say."

Jia Rui turned around helplessly and looked at Jia Mu with his eyes, which meant that if you have something to say, speak quickly and fart quickly.

"Brother Rui, my second brother has already told me about Xiangyun, but I still think it would be good to be our second wife for Baoyu. What do you think?"

Talking about the current four major families, the other three have slowly declined, and only their Jia family is still flourishing.

The Xue family gave the two girls, Xue Baochai and Xue Baoqin to Jia Rui early on, so it is very safe now, and their prosperity and wealth will not diminish in the coming decades.

The Wang family also has Wang Xifeng, a person who is good at management, and she has a good relationship with Jia Rui. It can be seen to the naked eye that as long as the Wang family does not seek death, nothing big will happen.

They are the only historians. Although there are two marquises sitting in charge, they are all the emperor's people, and they are not at odds with Jia Rui.

Baoling Hou Shi Nai was able to work as an official outside this time because of the face of her, an old lady. If one day, she, this old lady, is no longer around, who will care about their historian family?

Therefore, Jia Mu now urgently hopes that Shi Jia can once again establish relations with the Jia family.

Jia Rui glanced at Jia Mu, with some guessing in his eyes.

Jia Baoyu and Shi Xiangyun were childhood sweethearts, but they were both in love and not polite.

With Jia Baoyu's personality, if there were any scandals with Shi Xiangyun, they would have already happened. Why wait until Jia Baoyu married Lin Daiyu?

Now Jia's mother kept lobbying Jia Rui. There was some unknown reason for this, and Jia Rui was a little confused.

"Old lady, Miss Xiangyun is the daughter of a marquis, and Baoyu is just a white body. How can she be worthy of her?"

"This is the old almanac, why are you mentioning him?"

"Old lady, I think this matter is inappropriate. I think it's better not to mention it again, right?"

Jia Mu could only give up helplessly.

After Jia Rui left Jia Mu's place, he originally wanted to wait for Yuanyang to say a few words, but after waiting for a cup of tea outside, Yuanyang did not come out.

Jia Rui looked at Rong Qingtang, and then shook his head gently. This Jia Mu is really acting like a child!

Since he couldn't wait for the mandarin ducks, Jia Rui didn't waste any time and walked out.

After returning to his house, Jia Rui was not in the mood to look for his aunts anymore, and instead slept one night in Xue Baochai's yard.

When I got up the next day, I went to the old man and his wife as usual to salute and say hello. After having breakfast, I hurried to the palace.

When I arrived at the palace, I first went to the back of Yangxin Hall to see Xue Baochai. I saw her sitting on the bed with a blushing face, instructing the girl to clean up the room, and then I felt relieved.

After that, I chatted with her for a while before going to the front to handle official business.

The memorials sent today are mainly from the Ministry of Personnel.

Because a lot of officials in Beijing were dealt with during this period, and many departments were seriously short of staff, the Ministry of Personnel sent a list of more than 200 people.

Since the officials were still under their control, the lists they sent were all in favor of Jia Rui's faction, so Jia Rui approved them all with confidence.

Jia Rui and Xue Baochai had dinner at noon. They were planning to hang out in the palace in the afternoon, but something happened when they were about to go out.

"My lord, there is news from the Imperial Hospital that something is wrong with the queen?" One of Jia Rui's personal eunuchs hurriedly came to Jia Rui to report.

Jia Rui was stunned for a moment, and then asked: "What's going on?"

"My lord, the imperial doctor said that your body is unstable and there may be signs of slippage."

Jia Rui hurriedly said: "Ask the imperial hospital to send the best physician there, and take whatever medicine you want, and no matter what, we must keep the dragon child in her belly."

The little eunuch hurried out after listening. Jia Rui was not in the mood to hang around now, so he sat back on the chair and said to Xue Baochai, who was waiting on the side: "You go back and have a rest first, and then go over and see you after I finish handling this matter."

"Then I'll go back first, but don't worry too much about this matter. After all, this is destiny, and we can't do anything about it." Xue Baochai comforted Jia Rui for a few words and left.

Jia Rui frowned and rubbed his forehead, waiting for news in the Yangxin Hall. It was not until the lanterns came on that the news from Jia Yuanchun came.

"Your Majesty, according to reports from the Taiyuan Hospital, the Queen is out of danger. As long as she takes a rest every day, she should be fine."

Jia Rui let out a sigh of relief.

However, Jia Rui soon had other ideas.

Just as he imprisoned the emperor, something happened to Jia Yuanchun. Is there any connection between them? Who doesn't want Jia Yuanchun's child to be born?

Now that the eldest prince and the second prince have been taken care of by Jia Rui, the remaining princes are still young and have no intention of seizing the heir.

Could it be that their mother-in-law and the family members behind her were causing trouble?

Jia Rui thought hard for a while and felt that it was still a bit impossible. None of these families had much power, and these small families did not have such big ambitions.

However, there is no way to know if one of them goes crazy.

"Qin Shun."

Following Jia Rui's words, Qin Shun had already appeared beside Jia Rui.

"How are the empresses in the palace who have princes doing now?"

Qin Shun blinked and then said: "You ladies are all very peaceful. Apart from writing and drinking tea, you just wandered around in the imperial garden and did not interact with outsiders."

Impossible!

Besides them, who else wants Jia Yuanchun's child to die?

Jia Rui walked back and forth in the Nourishing Heart Hall in annoyance, and suddenly he stopped.

One person he forgot was Concubine Jing of Changchun Palace.

Jingfei is now pregnant with her own child, but it is still nominally the emperor's. If Jia Yuanchun's child is gone, then Concubine Jing's child is the legitimate successor.

What's even more terrible is that this child belongs to Jia Rui. Does Jia Rui have the dignity to compete with his own child for the throne?

At that time, Jia Rui could only hold his nose and admit it.

After all, in the end, it is the children of one's own family who are in charge of the world, and they can be considered to be of one's own lineage.

Why is Concubine Jing so anxious?

Soon Jia Rui figured it out.

If Jia Rui ascends the throne and becomes emperor in the future, the final heir will most likely be Xue Baochai's son. Although other princes also have a chance, their chances are slim.

And her prince, born to a former concubine, was even more hopeless.

So Concubine Jing decided to stop doing nothing and take care of Jia Yuanchun's children first, so that her son could ascend the throne early. This was because she wanted to make a meal out of raw rice!

Jia Rui sighed, the woman in this palace is really thoughtful!

I thought that Concubine Jing was also willing to be mediocre, but I didn't expect that her thoughts were also focused on this aspect.

But it’s normal to think about it again. There is a saying: Mothers must be strong. How can a mother do crazy things for her children?

"Go and send someone to closely monitor the Changchun Palace, and at the same time replace all the maids and eunuchs in the Kunning Palace. If something happens again, don't blame me for being rude."

Qin Shun was stunned for a moment and immediately understood the connection.

At this time, his heart was beating wildly. He did not expect that Concubine Jing would be so bold.

But think about it, this is really a good way. You can let your son win in advance, if you do the same.

It's a pity that in the end he fell short and exposed himself.

Qin Shun agreed, and when he saw that Jia Rui had no other instructions, he quickly left.

At this time, Xue Baochai, who was inside the Yangxin Hall, was also listening to Hualan's report to him.

"Are you saying that Concubine Jing might have done this?"

"Grandma, this is my guess."

Xue Baochai is a very smart person. Hua Lan just analyzed it a little and she already understood that it must be Concubine Jing.

Xue Baochai's eyes narrowed, with a dangerous look in his eyes.

"Can you use some means to prevent Concubine Jing's child from suffering in this world?"

Hua Lan glanced at Xue Baochai, and then said categorically: "I am only following the orders of the Duke, and grandma should not talk about this matter again."
