My Red Mansion Career

Chapter 32
Daming Palace Imperial Study Room
Although Emperor Changping's imperial study was not large, it was extremely magnificently decorated.

The walls surrounding the study are hung with exquisite carved railings.

The various patterns of flowers, birds, insects and fish inlaid in it are colorful and lifelike.

Every scene exudes royal dignity and wealth.

Emperor Changping, who was wearing ordinary clothes, was sitting on the dragon chair, looking at Feng Tang who was kneeling on the ground, and after a long time he spoke.

"Feng Aiqing, is this serious?"

Feng Tang raised his head and said: "Your Majesty, these letters were seized by Jia Yu from the bandits' lair in Erlong Mountain and sent overnight.

After receiving the letter, I did not dare to neglect it and immediately went to the palace to report to His Majesty.

As for the truth or falsehood, I dare not lie. The rest will be decided by His Majesty's Holy Judgment. "

Emperor Changping pondered for a long time, then waved his hand: "Sit down and give me a seat."

After speaking, he picked up the letter on the royal table and read it slowly.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Soon, a eunuch brought a brocade stool and placed it behind Feng Tang. Feng Tang sat down, but he only dared to sit down halfway.

"boom!"

Emperor Changping slammed the table and said angrily: "What a Changping garrison, what a Qi Jianhui!
I asked him to serve as the garrison of Changping Mansion to ensure the safety of the whole party. I never thought that he would actually play a trick to support the invaders.

This is really my good minister! "

In anger, Emperor Changping's originally thin lips pursed tighter, and his eyebrows were raised.

Standing aside, Dai Quan's heart skipped a beat. Having grown up with Emperor Changping, he knew that whenever Emperor Changping showed such an expression, it meant that his master had murderous intentions.

Then he heard Emperor Changping ask Feng Tang: "Feng Aiqing, what are you going to do next?"

Feng Tang said: "Jia Yu only brought 200 troops from his headquarters this time, and he lost a lot of people in the battle with the Erlong Mountain bandits.

Nowadays, there are only more than a hundred people around him, and it may be impossible to capture Qi Jianhui.

I plan to personally lead the team, set out overnight tonight, rush to Changping Mansion tomorrow, capture Qi Jianhui in one fell swoop, and then escort him back to the capital for His Majesty's punishment. "

"My dear, just go ahead and do it, I'm waiting for your good news in Shenjing!"

"In compliance with the decree, Your Majesty, please wait quietly in the palace for good news."

Emperor Changping nodded, but there was a feeling of regret in his heart.

A few days ago, if he hadn't been worried about arousing the alarm of the Supreme Emperor and the ministers in the court, he would have sent Jia Yu and others out with the intention of sacrificing the two hundred soldiers of the Selected Front Battalion rather than causing shock to the court.

If he had been more determined, he would have asked Feng Tang to lead the entire selection camp, and he would have escorted Qi Jianhui and others back to Beijing in victory.

But now is not the time to regret. Since Jia Yu has sent this information, he must react.

Looking at Feng Tang's figure disappearing from sight, Emperor Changping suddenly turned around and asked: "Dai Quan, if I remember correctly, it has been ten years since the eldest daughter of the Rongguo Mansion entered the palace, right?

Is she still serving Concubine Wu now? "

"Your Majesty has a good memory."

Dai Quan quickly stepped forward and whispered: "The eldest daughter of the Rongguo Mansion entered the palace at the age of 13, and it has been ten years now.

She was supposed to be released from the palace two years ago, but Concubine Wu said that Jia Yuanchun had served her well and wanted to stay for a few more years, so the release from the palace was delayed.

But now Jia Yuanchun has been passed away by the empress, and now serves as the female historian of Fengzao Palace. "

"Good service?" Emperor Changping snorted.

If a maid who enters the palace is not accepted as a concubine by the emperor, she will be released from the palace at the age of 22 according to the rules of the harem.

Those who have a family will go home, and if they don't have a family, the government will arrange a marriage for them.

After all, the maids who were released from the palace had received long-term training in the palace, and their etiquette and conversation were much better than those of ordinary folk girls.

This also led to the fact that the released palace maids were very popular in the private marriage market. At the very least, the women who could be selected into the palace would not be too bad in appearance.

Now, Emperor Changping heard that Concubine Wu actually forced Jia Yuanchun to stay in the palace for two years. With Emperor Changping's rank, he knew that Concubine Wu clearly wanted to trap Jia Yuanchun in the palace for the rest of his life.

When he thought of this, he couldn't help but frown.

Then he waved his hand and said, "Let's go to Fengzao Palace."

Immediately, Dai Quan's sharp voice sounded in the imperial study: "Your Majesty, please come to Fengzao Palace!"

As night falls, the third floor of the famous Zuixianju in Changping Prefecture is packed with people.

Jia Yuzheng, who had changed into a lavender gown, was standing in the large living room with a big smile, exchanging glasses of wine with Qi Jianhui and the officers of the Changping Garrison.

This banquet started at the beginning of Xu and has been going on for an hour and a half.

During these three hours, he single-handedly made more than a dozen officers, including Qi Jianhui, drunk.

Several officers had even gotten under the table, and now only Qi Jianhui and three Qianhu were left struggling to support themselves.

Otherwise, space equipment is a must-have artifact for time travellers.

With the space of the World Expo Center in his pocket, Jia Yu can now proudly say that I am the contemporary God of Bacchus, the kind that no one can do well when it comes to drinking.

He picked up the wine glass and walked to Qi Jianhui's side and said with a smile: "Master Qi, I will go into the mountains to suppress bandits tomorrow. I would like to ask you a few questions. Is that okay?"

Although he was a little heavy from drinking, Qi Jianhui was still able to stay awake.

Hearing this, he smiled and said: "Captain Jia, please tell me. As long as I can tell you, I will naturally tell you everything."

Seeing that Qi Jianhui was still so cautious at this time, Jia Yu sneered in her heart: "In this case, I just want to ask one thing.

Mr. Qi, you are responsible for the defense of Cangping, why did you collude with the Erlongshan bandits and support the thieves to respect themselves? "

"Snapped!"

Someone's cup fell to the ground, making a crisp sound.

Qi Jianhui knew something was wrong as soon as he heard Jia Yu's words, and he straightened his back and was about to stand up.

Unexpectedly, before he could stand up straight, Jia Yu reached out and patted his shoulder gently. Qi Jianhui felt as if his shoulder was pressing on a hill, and he couldn't help but sit down again.

At this time, only a crackling sound was heard. It turned out that Wu Yunchun and Xie Youyuan not far away suddenly attacked and knocked down three Qianhu who had not fallen down despite drinking a lot of wine.

Then, there was a sudden rush of footsteps in the stairwell, and more than a dozen soldiers wearing armor and holding swords and shields rushed up.

These sergeants were all wearing bright red fat coats and had solemn expressions. They were the sergeants of the Selection Camp brought by Jia Yu from Shenjing.

After the sergeants came to the hall, under the greetings of Wu Yunchun and Xie Youyuan, they took out ropes and tied up all the drunken officers in the hall.

Seeing this scene, Qi Jianhui felt a chill in his heart, but still refused to give up. He glared at Jia Yu and shouted sternly.

"Jia Yu, do you dare to attack Shangguan? Do you believe that I will immediately recruit soldiers and horses to punish you on the spot?"
