Jia Yujing of Red Mansion

Chapter 127 The Supreme Emperor's Warning
Jia Qiong slowly climbed up the stairs and reached the top.

I saw a huge pavilion made entirely of white marble standing majestically, with three characters "Wangxiantai" engraved on it.

It really is a beautiful palace, just like a fairy palace.

Even Jia Qiong, a modern person who is accustomed to seeing high-rise buildings, can't help but marvel at the uncanny workmanship of this building.

He only sighed for a moment, and then looked down.

A large screen was placed in the pavilion, blocking his view.

Through the screen, he could only vaguely see a figure, sitting on a large chair in the middle.

Jia Qiong immediately picked up his hem, knelt down and worshiped: "Jia Qiong, my lord, thank you for your marriage, and wish my emperor happiness, longevity and health."

After a moment, a heroic voice with a hint of age came.

"Jia Qiong, I like your song "Linjiang Immortal", with good words and good demeanor.

Come here and let me see what the world's most talented man looks like. "

"The minister obeys the order."

Jia Qiong stood up, walked around the screen with her head slightly lowered, walked to the Supreme Emperor, and bowed.

"Look up and let me see."

After hearing this, Jia Qiong straightened up and looked at the ground with her eyelids slightly lowered, acting very respectfully.

The Supreme Emperor said leisurely: "Well, not bad, not bad. He is much more handsome than Jia Laoer, and he knows more etiquette than him."

Jia Qiong bowed slightly and replied: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your ridiculous praise. I really don't dare to accept it."

The Supreme Emperor smiled and then asked: "Do you know who I gave you to marry?"

Jia Qiong was stunned when he heard this, and thought to himself, isn't the county owner the daughter of a certain royal family, isn't it?
Jia Qiong cupped his hands and said, "When I return to the Supreme Emperor, I only know that he is the head of Yongning County, and I don't know about the others."

"Let me tell you, the Lord of Yongning County is my god-granddaughter.

I like that child very much. You have to treat her well after we get married, you know? "

After hearing this, Jia Qiong secretly complained in her heart, saying that she was not of royal blood, so no wonder she would betrothed to me as an equal wife.

He cupped his hands and said, "Yes, I will definitely treat the county master well. Please rest assured, Your Majesty."

The Supreme Emperor was silent for a moment, then suddenly changed his tone and asked: "What do you think of the construction of my Chonghua Palace?"

Jia Qiong replied: "Back to the Supreme Emperor, the Chonghua Palace has a myriad of atmospheres, like the residence of an immortal. I am deeply shocked."

The Supreme Emperor laughed, pointed behind Jia Qiong and said: "What I like most is the atmosphere of the Tang Dynasty.

My Chonghua Palace was built according to the layout of the inner palace of the Tang Dynasty. Do you know the name of the big lake in front of it? "

Jia Qiong bowed and returned: "I know that the front is Taiye Pool."

"You are the number one scholar, so you must be highly knowledgeable. I'm here to test you. Where is the place north of Taiye Pond in the Tang Palace?"

When Jia Qiong heard this, her heart skipped a beat.

An alarm sounded in his heart, and he hesitated for a moment before saying: "Back to the Supreme Emperor, it seems that there is Hanliang Palace to the north of Taiye Pond."

I heard the Supreme Emperor chuckle, and then asked: "That's right, what about further north?"

"Further north is the Purple Orchid Palace."

"Go on."

Jia Qiong swallowed and said, "The far north is Xuanwu Hall and...Xuanwu Gate."

The Supreme Emperor laughed with satisfaction and said: "Haha, not bad, very good.

You know a lot, and you are much better than that reckless man Jia Laoer.

You don't need to be nervous, this is the Chonghua Palace of Da Chu, not the Daming Palace of Da Tang.

I am not Li Yuan, and the emperor cannot be Li Shimin.

You are my grandson-in-law, the first number one scholar in the Three Yuan Dynasty since the founding of the Chu Kingdom, the seed of Wenhua.

After Wu Xun again, he made great achievements at a young age and was a natural talent for generals and ministers.

Go back and work for the court honestly, don't think about what you have and what you don't have, I will not treat my heroes badly. "

Hearing this, Jia Qiong quickly raised his hands and said, "I would like to thank the Emperor for your kindness! I will retire."

After getting off the Wangxian Terrace, Jia Qiong felt that she was still in a state of confusion. It seemed that the Supreme Emperor was still looking at him from the Wangxiandai.

It wasn't until he followed the young eunuch out of the palace that he finally breathed a sigh of relief.Ping An came over with his horse and asked in surprise: "Second Master, what's wrong with you.

Your face looks so bad and your head is sweating, but what's wrong with you? "

"It's okay, I just left in a hurry. Let's go home."

Jia Qiong mounted his horse and returned home. Along the way, the Emperor's words kept echoing in his mind.

The hidden meaning in the words was obvious. The Supreme Emperor was warning himself not to help Emperor Longqing in another "Xuanwu Gate Incident".

He is not Li Yuan, and Emperor Longqing is not Li Shimin. He will not end well if he gets involved in this matter.

When Jia Qiong thought about the Xuanwu Gate incident just now, the hairs all over his body stood up, and his back was covered in cold sweat.

This was the second time he felt so terrified. The last time was during the Shangyuan Festival six years ago, when he faced Emperor Longqing.

The pressure of the imperial power made him feel suffocated, and this involuntary powerlessness made him very disgusted.

Jia Qiong knew that he was still too weak.

Although he has worked hard for so long, he is famous in the world, has achieved three yuan, has a net worth of millions, and has a backer.

But in the face of the powerful imperial power, it still seems too fragile.

He suddenly remembered Wang Mu's words. If a fish wants to eat more, it must not bite the hook easily. When the fish grows to the size of a human, no one will be able to catch it.

But how long will he have to endure it?
Can the royal family really let him endure it for that long?

Can he bear it?

He didn't even have the answers to these in his own mind.

After returning home, Jia Qiong went directly into the study and thought about it for a long time, even taking only two quick bites of lunch.

That night, Jia Qiong and other new scholars were going to the Yamen of the Ministry of Rites to attend the Qionglin Banquet.

When Jia Qiong arrived in front of Zhengyang Gate, many new scholars had gathered here and were queuing up to be inspected by the imperial army.

When everyone saw Jia Qiong coming, they all automatically gave way to let him go first. This is the treatment that the number one scholar deserves.

Jia Qiong thanked her all the way and came to the front of the team.

Many of the imperial guards knew him as the top scholar, and they even invited him in without even checking.

He said to the squad leader on his side: "I know all these new scholars."

The squad leader hurriedly said: "Yes, I understand, let's go."

None of these forbidden soldiers knew that the new champion was the younger brother of their immediate boss, and no one wanted to offend him.

"Thank you."

Jia Qiong cupped his hands and thanked them, then led everyone into Qipan Street, and was led by a forbidden soldier to the Rites Yamen not far from the east side of Zhengyang Gate.

When everyone came to the lobby, some of the new scholars who came first were already waiting here. When everyone saw Jia Qiong coming in, there was another burst of excitement.

Han Wei came early and asked with a smile: "Yu Jing, yesterday was really beautiful.

Everyone said that you were taken advantage of by the emperor.

Were you so happy that you didn't sleep all night?His face doesn't seem to be very good. "

Jia Qiong said mockingly: "The Emperor's grace is not easy to accept. I almost couldn't get into bed last night."

His words made everyone laugh. Everyone felt that although he became the number one scholar, he had no airs and made people feel close to him.

Jia Qiong added: "Didn't many of you get targeted yesterday?

But there are people who have achieved a happy marriage, and telling them about it makes everyone happy. "

Gongsun Yue pointed at him and said, "You still have the nerve to say that you are using me as a shield to escape."

Jia Qiong smiled and said: "Hey, you can't say that, Brother Chengyun, I'm doing this for you, okay?

You're in your late twenties and you're still a bachelor. I felt worried when I saw you. "

Gongsun Yue shook his head and smiled bitterly: "I am really careless in making friends. I am careless in making friends."

Jia Qiong asked with a smile: "Then do you plan to be a guest at Prince Dongping's Mansion?"

"..." Gongsun Yue.
