The Red Mansions Across the Four Seas

Chapter 361
Jia Min ran all the way and soon arrived in front of the Forbidden City.After tying up the horse, we arrived at the court affairs room.

This court affairs room usually serves for the ministers to go to court and enter the palace.It's a signing place.

When the emperor summons or asks to see the emperor, he will report and wait here, and wait until a letter comes inside before going in.

After talking to the eunuch of the court affairs room, the eunuch told him to wait, and went in to report.

Not long after, the eunuch came out.

"Jia Min, it's said inside that the emperor is gone, so go back."

"Eunuch, please report again, I really have something urgent to see the emperor."

"You have been notified. The emperor doesn't see you, and he just doesn't see you. Why are you pestering me? Go back as soon as possible, and don't pester you here."

"Okay, please tell Eunuch Dai that I want to see him and tell him to come out."

"Eunuch Dai? Do you know him?"

"Not just acquaintances, we are still friends."

"Okay, for the sake of Eunuch Dai, I will make another trip."

After a while, Dai Quan came out.

"Little brother, I know everything about you, go back, the emperor has already said that he won't see you, so why bother yourself?"

"Eunuch Dai, this matter is related to the life and death of 15 horses. Please, Eunuch Dai, please bear with it and report to the emperor one more time, so that the emperor can meet me."

"Little brother, we are friends. If I can help you, will I not help you? Now that the sacred will has been decided, there is no way to change it. If you persist in your obsession and offend the emperor, you will only harm the emperor." Take care of yourself. Listen to my advice and go back."

"It is precisely because of our friendship that I came to you. This matter is of great importance, so I ask my father-in-law to inform the emperor again. Jia Min is very grateful."

"Hey, Jia Min, why are you bothering? The emperor and the ministers of military discipline are in charge of major military matters. You are a small guerrilla, so why bother to hit a rock with an egg? That's all, let's get rid of our old face I'll give you an announcement. But I'll tell you beforehand that there's no hope."

"Then thank you, Eunuch Dai."

After Dai Quan went in for a while, he came out again. Seeing his expression, Jia Min's heart sank.

"Jia Min, let's go back, don't be obsessed, the emperor is already angry and reprimanded our family just now."

Jia Min couldn't call Dai Quan anymore.

Dai Quan looked at Jia Min, sighed, and went back.

Jia Min knew this was the result when he came out of Yeduju.However, he still wants to give it a try. As long as the emperor sees him, he will fully explain his position and analyze the pros and cons to the emperor.

He believed that as long as the emperor saw him, he might be able to persuade the emperor to take back his decision to go to war.

But now the emperor doesn't even see him, what should I do?

Could it be that he was watching the impending defeat?

Thinking of the scene of the army being defeated like a mountain, Jia Min couldn't help being afraid.

In fact, Jia Min already knew about such a defeat.Previously, he had also thought about it and let it go, so he arranged for Wei Ruolan to return to Bu Kui earlier to arrange for Bu Kui's defense.

However, after being stimulated by the people in Jia's house arranging Baoyu and several people to go to Bukui, and Princess Chang'an going to Bukui, Jia Min's hidden thoughts were stimulated again.

He can't clearly know that this is a defeat, and still stand by and watch like a normal person.

This defeat will only benefit those behind the scenes with malicious intentions.

Besides, everyone, including the emperor, prince, and princess, is a loser.

It's okay for them to lose. The problem is that those innocent soldiers will die in vain, and countless families will lose their loved ones and fall into endless sorrow.

The emperor and ministers may not take the lives of soldiers seriously, but, as a person with modern consciousness, Jia Min does not think so.

Of course, people will die in war, but it depends on how they die. Such a meaningless sacrifice is really hard for Jia Min to accept.

Even though the emperor had already said that he would not see him again, Jia Min did not give up. He still wanted to try harder, and he would never give up until the last moment.

So, he took out the large banner he had written in Yeduju, raised the banner above his head with both hands, and knelt down facing the palace.

The eunuch of the court affairs room came over and took a look, and there was a line of big characters written on the banner:
"It's not appropriate to start a war, face the saint to make a statement."

"Jia Min, it's useless for you to do this."

"I'll do it if it's useless."

The eunuch shook his head and went back.

Seeing someone kneeling here, passers-by who came and went came over to join in the fun.So there was a lot of discussion.

However, seeing Jia Min wearing an official uniform, he knew that it was an official ordered by the court to see the emperor, so he didn't dare to say anything.

Soon, it was going to be dark, and seeing that Jia Min hadn't left yet, the eunuch from the court office went into the palace.

After a while, the imperial guards Zhou Tong and Zuo Linliang came.

The two of them are Jia Min's Jinshi of the same discipline, one is the number one scholar and the other is the second place.

"Huaiyuan, don't be stubborn, the emperor has made up his mind and won't see you again."

Zhou Tong persuaded.

"Yeah, Huaiyuan, this matter is a foregone conclusion. The army will soon move out. After preparing for such a long time, how can it be withdrawn? We are from the same department, so listen to our advice and stop making unnecessary sacrifices. Your Majesty I'm already very unhappy with you, but I didn't offend you because of your contribution in Bukui, so let's accept it as soon as it's good."

Zuo Linliang's words were also very sincere.

"Jia Min appreciates the kindness of the two elder brothers. I don't intend to be different, let alone selfish. It's purely for the sake of the imperial court and the common people, so I ask the two elder brothers to report to the emperor. It only takes half an hour. "

"Huaiyuan, to tell you the truth, the emperor has issued an order not to inform you. No one dares to inform you again. You should go back."

"Yes, Huaiyuan, the two of us have always admired you very much. If we can help you, we will definitely help you. There is really nothing we can do about this matter. You should do it yourself. Before the emperor is angry, you should go back."

Saying that, the two went back helplessly.

Jia Min knelt for a while, and it was getting dark.Just as I was about to leave, I saw a few people approaching.

It turned out to be Princess Chang'an and Li Chengbin.There were several people in Lichun, and there was another person, which surprised Jia Min, and it was Princess Yongning.

The eunuch of the court office greeted them, and after a few words with them, Li Chengbin and Princess Yongning came over.

"Isn't this Jia Laosi? What's the matter? You still want to force the palace? The emperor said he won't see you, what are you still doing here? Whose world is this? You can do whatever you want. ?”

Jia Min knew the virtues of Princess Yongning, so he didn't bother to talk to her.I thought that Chang'an would come over, and then I would ask Chang'an to ask the emperor, at least, ask her to persuade the emperor again.

However, Chang An didn't come over, stood there for a while, and then entered the palace.

"Officer Min, you'd better go back. The Holy Majesty already knew what you want, and I have told the Holy Majesty that it is useless to kneel down."

Li Chengbin knew that it was useless to persuade him, but he still said it.

While the two were talking, Hu Yidao from Hu's Winery came.

It turned out that he heard that Jia Min couldn't afford to kneel here, so he rushed to persuade Jia Min.

It was already dark at this time, Li Chengbin also left, the gate of the palace was closed, and there was no one in the court affairs room.Hu Yidao pulled Jia Min by force, and Jia Min followed.

Hu Yidao took Jia Min to Sihaibin Restaurant, ordered food and wine, and the two began to drink.

While drinking, Hu Yidao persuaded Jia Min.Jia Min didn't speak, but just ate and drank in silence.Seeing this, Hu Yidao stopped persuading him.

He didn't have anything else to say, he said all he had to say.Besides, I can't tell what tricks to come.

After eating for about an hour, Hu Yidao arranged Jia Min to stay in an inn, comforted Jia Min a few words, and then went back.

At Yinshi the next day, Jia Min got up early and came to the gate of the palace again.At this time, it was just dawn, and there were already ministers who had come earlier, waiting here to go to court.

Jia Min knelt on the ground again, holding a banner in his hand.

One after another, ministers came to watch.

The fact that Jia Min knelt here and waited for the emperor to summon him had already spread throughout the House of Civil and Military Ministers last night.So some persuasion, some cynicism.

After a while, Master Ji came over.

"Huaiyuan, don't engage in unnecessary disputes, let's go back."

Jia Min didn't say anything, and after a while of persuasion from Master Ji, he shook his head and walked away.

As soon as Master Ji left, Beijing King Shui Rong came.

"Why bother Huaiyuan? Go back quickly, while the Holy Majesty can still accommodate you, accept it as soon as you see it."

While Shui Rong was talking, Li Yuan came over with a grunt.

"Jia Min, what on earth do you want to do? Don't you think it's not enough to be ashamed? You've lost the face of the Ministry of War. Don't think that you are great just because you won a battle. Apart from you, there is no capable person in the world?"

"Yes, Jia Min, all civil and military officials in the court are fools, and you are the only one who is smart? Even the emperor is wrong, but you are the only one who is right? I don't care who you are, and you have only been an official for a few days. Don't you know who you are?"

Hubu Wanshangshu also came to join in the fun.

"Jia Min, don't think that others don't know your thoughts. Do you think that after you fought in Bukui, it became your private land, and that where you can't get in with a knife or splashed with water, other people will take care of you?" Can't go to your place?"

The Minister of the Ministry of Officials was also unwilling to let go of this opportunity to attack Jia Min.

"Let me tell you, in the whole world, is it the king of the earth, put away your selfishness as soon as possible, don't make yourself foolish, and want to be greedy for your own merits. If you are still ignorant, be careful to impeach you. Hmph, a small guerrilla is really ignorant."

Yin Xiutonggui of Shuntian Prefecture and Liu Changfeng, the admiral of the Nine Gates, also came to persuade Jia Min.However, after all, most of them reprimanded Jia Min, and their words of persuasion were quickly drowned out.

No matter what others say, Jia Min just keeps silent.What he wants to see is the emperor, and he doesn't bother to talk to these people.

He knew that it was useless to talk to these people, so why waste his tongue in vain?

The eunuch came out to send people to court, and the ministers went in one by one, leaving Jia Min kneeling here alone.
