Jia Yujing of Red Mansion

Chapter 246 Jia Qiong resigns
In the main hall of Ningguo Mansion, Jia She looked at Jia Yun with a gloomy expression.

Just now, he proposed that Jia Cong inherit the title of Ning Guofu, but Jia Yun suddenly objected.

Jia She asked angrily: "Now that Brother Cong is the stepson of Brother Jing, it is natural for him to inherit the title. Why do you object?"

Jia Yun bowed and said: "Master Pardon, it's not that I object to it.

It's just that the emperor Zhezi who asked Jia Qiang to attack the king last time has already been beaten back. What kind of virtue can Uncle Cong have to get the emperor to agree?

If the people selected by the Jia family are repeatedly not in line with the emperor's wishes, I am afraid that the Ningguo title will be withdrawn in anger, and it will be too late to regret it. "

Jia She sneered and said: "Huh, Jia Cong has no talent or virtue, but you are talented and virtuous. Do you want to recommend you?

I don’t even care about my status. How can I allow you to interfere in such a big matter? "

Jia Yun is also an official now, and is a prominent figure among the children of the Jia clan, so she is not very afraid of Jia She.

He replied in a neither humble nor condescending manner: "Master Pardon, this is a matter within the Jia clan. As a member of the Jia clan, I naturally have the right to speak.

Naturally, I don't dare to hope for the Duke of Ning Kingdom, but I'm afraid Uncle Cong doesn't have the chance.

For the sake of the prosperity of the Jia family, I propose that Uncle Qiong inherit the title of Ningguo.

Only Uncle Qiong in the Jia family has the talent and virtue to inherit this position and become the next head of our Jia family. "

Jia She was furious when he heard this. Besides Jia Qiang, Jia Qiong was also the great-great-grandson of the Ningguo Mansion. What he feared most was that Jia Qiong would jump out and snatch it from him.

Fortunately, Jia Qiong was confined at home and could not attend the meeting. Who would have thought that Jia Yun would come forward to recommend Jia Qiong.

He was about to scold him when he heard Jia Zheng say: "What Brother Yun said makes sense. The emperor didn't agree last time. If the person we recommend this time is not to his liking, I'm afraid the emperor will really be angry." .”

Now among the Jia clan, many people originally supported Jia Qiong, but they were afraid of Jia She's power and did not dare to speak.

Now that Jia Yun was taking the lead and Jia Zheng was backing him, many people immediately began to express their support.

Jia She's face turned blue with anger. He even sent his son away and asked him to support others' spirits and observe filial piety.

As a result, now that the work is done, the benefits are not given. Is this what humans do?
But now that there are so many people supporting Jia Qiong, it is hard for Jia She to oppose forcefully.

He glanced at Jia Cong, wanting him to argue, but the latter stood timidly in the corner and didn't even look at him.

He looked at Jia Lian again. Jia Lian couldn't hide, so he could only use his brain to think of an excuse.

"Brother Qiong naturally has both ability and political integrity, and is the most outstanding child of my Jia family.

But he is already a first-class viscount, so what if he is asked to inherit the title of third-class general? "

Jia Yun said: "This is not difficult, Uncle Qiong can have two bedrooms.

Based on the emperor's high regard for Uncle Qiong, if he came to inherit the title, the emperor might even give him a title, which would also be good for the Ningguo family. "

When Jia She heard this, he said angrily: "Nonsense, brother Cong is now the stepson of elder brother Jing, how can brother Qiong come back to take care of you!"

Jia Yun said: "Uncle Cong will inherit, and Uncle Qiong will inherit the title. It's the best of both worlds."

"Yes, Brother Yun is right."

"That's a good way."

……

"You! You! How can this not make sense? How can this not make sense!"

Jia She was furious. He usually only cared about his own enjoyment, but he never cared about the life and death of his clan members.

Jia Qiong not only had a good reputation, but was also willing to support his people. Naturally, no one was willing to stand up and speak for Jia She at this time.

If Jia Zheng supports him, Jia She can still suppress the opposition of his tribe.

But now Jia Zheng also favors Jia Qiong, leaving him with no choice but to be helpless and furious.

Jia Dairu came out at this time to persuade: "Let's not argue for now. Let's ask Brother Qiong what he wants first.

If he doesn't want to attack the prince, what's the use of us making noise here. "

Jia She naturally saw that this proposal seemed neutral, but in fact it was already biased towards Jia Qiong.

He hated it so much, but he had no choice but to agree first.

Then several prestigious clan members were pushed out from the side branches, together with Jia She and others from the main clan and clan elders, and came to Osmanthus Alley.

As soon as they entered the front yard, they saw Jia Qiong and Yuntao fighting fiercely.

Both of them used long spears, and their moves were all killing moves on the battlefield. They were majestic and sharp.

Even if everyone stood five meters away, they seemed to be able to feel the sharp point of the spear passing through their necks, making them afraid to disturb him easily.

Jia Qiong had already seen them coming in, but had no intention of stopping. Instead, he moved even faster.For a moment, everyone in the Jia family seemed to be on the battlefield. Their ears were filled with the sound of gold and iron clashing, and their eyes were filled with the cold light of gun shadows. They could not help but feel their heartbeats speeding up and two forces fighting.

Suddenly, there was a loud bang, and after the two spears collided fiercely in the air, the two people suddenly separated and each took back their positions.

Yun Tao cupped his fists and smiled: "Sir, your gun is faster than before you were injured!"

Jia Qiong threw the gun in his hand towards him and said with a smile, "You're not bad either."

After saying that, Jia Qiong turned to everyone in the Jia family and said, "Elders and uncles, please don't be distracted while performing martial arts. It's rude."

Jia Yun and other young people were the first to come to their senses and applauded.

"Uncle Qiong is mighty!"

"Brother Qiong is very skilled."

"He is worthy of being a fierce general who can kill a tiger with a single sword!"

"An enemy of ten thousand people is nothing more than this."

……

Jia She, Jia Zheng and others took a moment to recover.

Jia Zheng said: "Brother Qiong, the sword has no eyes, are you always so fierce when you practice martial arts? Be careful not to get hurt."

Jia Qiong smiled and said: "Thank you for your concern, Second Uncle, I am sensible.

Elders, are you here for business today? "

Jia Zheng said: "I have something to discuss with you."

Jia Qiong nodded and said, "Please come over there.

By the way, Yuntao, come here, let me introduce you. This is Uncle Sheng, and this is Uncle Zheng.

This is Yuntao, the nephew of Chang'an Jiedushi Yunguang. "

Yun Tao saluted the two of them, and Jia She suddenly said: "Oh, it turns out to be nephew Yun Shi, why are you here?"

Yun Tao said: "Hui Shibo, I am now Lord Jia's bodyguard."

Except for Jia Yun, who knew Yun Tao's identity originally, everyone else was shocked.

The nephews of the dignified Chang'an Jiedushi all served as Jia Qiong's guards, which allowed them to truly feel Jia Qiong's power.

Everyone came to the front hall and just sat down when Jia She said first: "Brother Qiong, now that Brother Zhen's title has been taken away, and Brother Rong has also been cleared from the family tree, do you have the person who attacked the title of Ningguo Mansion?" What do you think?"

Jia Qiong pointed at Jia Qiang strangely and said: "Brother Rong can't inherit the title, so of course he will let Brother Qiang attack. What's the problem with this?"

Jia She said: "You don't know yet, but the emperor came back with the offer we made and disagreed with Brother Qiang's attack on Jue.

I thought that Brother Jing now had no filial son or grandson, so I adopted Brother Cong to him and asked him to keep his filial piety for Brother Jing.

Do you think Brother Cong should inherit this title? "

Jia Qiong nodded and said, "Since Brother Cong has been adopted by Uncle Jing, he is naturally qualified to ascend the throne."

Jia Yun said hurriedly: "Uncle Qiong, everyone thinks that you should inherit the Ningguo Mansion..."

Jia Qiong waved her hand and interrupted: "A true man, I only get fame from horses. I have no interest in the title of Ningguo."

Jia She heard this and said happily: "Look, let me tell you, Brother Qiong is so capable, why would he care about the title of a mere third-grade general?"

Jia Yun said: "Uncle Qiong, this is not just a matter of title.

As the leader of the clan, Jia Zhen has never done anything practical for her clan except eating, drinking and having fun.

Now he does this kind of thing and brings shame to the Jia people.

The Jia family must be led by someone like you, Uncle Qiong, to have any hope of revitalization.

I know Uncle Qiong that you cherish your reputation and don't want to be infamous for trying to seize the title for no reason.

But for the sake of the entire Jia family, Uncle Qiong must agree. "

Jia Yun spoke very sincerely, and everyone present except Jia She felt that what he said made sense.

But Jia Qiong still shook his head and said: "Stop talking about it, I will never agree to this matter.

Regardless of whether I am the clan leader or not, I will do my best for the Jia clan, so everyone can rest assured.

As for the candidate to inherit the Ningguo Mansion, you can discuss it yourself. I have no objection. "
