The Red Mansions

Chapter 82 Emperor Chongping's Thoughts

After Jia Heng finished speaking, he ignored Jia Amnesty and the rest of the Jia family, and walked out of the Jia residence.

Jia Amnesty looked at the back of the "going away", his face was gloomy, and there was a burning anger in his chest, and he cursed: "Lawless bastard!"

At this moment, no matter whether it is Jia Mu or Sister Feng, there is no voice of agreement, but a sad face and long sighs.

Even Sister Feng didn't have a cold look on her face, and her heart was heavy.

The Ning and Rong mansions are connected with each other, one prospers and the other loses. The East Mansion's title is taken away, and Jia's mansion is bound to lose its reputation.

"Jia Heng..."

Sister Feng Danfeng's eyes flickered fiercely, and the young man's stern face couldn't help appearing in her heart, and she felt an indescribable emotion.

In Rongxi Hall, behind the screen, Baoyu and Daiyu, Tanchun, Yingchun, Xichun and others also looked at each other in blank dismay.

Even if you don't know the world like Baoyu, you still feel that something big has happened, especially when you see Jia's mother beating her chest and stamping her feet, her grief is unbearable, and her heart is covered with a haze.

Tan Chunyu paused for a moment, Yingxiu's brows flashed a little thought, and said softly: "Just now the imperial decree said, is it deprivation of the title? Then brother Zhen's title is gone, or is it that the title in the East Mansion is gone?"

But he was keenly aware of the ambiguity and ambiguity in the imperial decree.

Dai Yuyan frowned, and there was no light smile on her greasy cheeks, she held a round fan and said softly, "I'm afraid I have to ask the emperor about this."

On this side, Jia Lian hesitated for a moment, and said, "Elder Master, Second Master, what is the meaning of the palace now? And Brother Zhen's title, what is going on, we still need to inquire about it."

Jia Rong who was on the side not only cast her eyes when she heard the word "title".

Mother Jia also reacted, and said anxiously: "The title in the East Mansion must not be lost. I will enter the palace right now, and ask to see the Queen Mother. Yuanyang is ready to order a big make-up."

As an imperial order, Jia's mother could naturally ask to enter the palace to see the queen or empress dowager. In the early days when the good man was still alive, Jia's mother often went to the palace to chat with Concubine Feng, who was not yet a queen mother.

Although the relationship between Jia's mansion and the palace has become somewhat different due to a change in the family over the past ten years, but now that Jia's mother is in the palace, she can still say something.

Jia Amnesty's face was livid, anxious and anxious, and said: "I'm going to the Beijing Prince's Mansion right now, and ask someone to find out what happened to nephew Zhen."

Among the four kings and eight princes, although they are said to be of the same spirit, they are actually close. Among the relatives and old friends of the Rongguo Mansion, the one who is relatively close to the Jia Mansion is the King of Beijing, Shui Rong.

From the funeral of Qin Keqing in the original "Dream of Red Mansions", it can be seen that the king of Beijing, Shui Rong, took the honor of the king of the county, and went to the road to sacrifice in person, which shows the deep friendship between the two families.

Jia Amnesty immediately thought of King Beijing.

Jia Zheng's face was full of sorrow, and he opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but he didn't know who to look for. He raised his eyes and looked at Mrs. Wang, his heart moved, and he frowned and asked, "Uncle Baoyu, she hasn't come out yet." Is it from Beijing?"

As soon as Jia Zheng said this, Jia's mother, Jia She, and Mrs. Xing all cast their eyes on Mrs. Wang in unison.

Wang Ziteng has just been promoted to the control of the capitals of nine provinces by the current emperor, and he went out to investigate the frontier. This is a sign of great use. If he is asked to plead for mercy, maybe...

Mrs. Wang's complexion was pale, the rosary in her hand paused slightly, and said: "It's leaving tomorrow, and it's still in the mansion."

Jia Amnesty said anxiously: "Sisters and sisters, you have to go to the palace to ask, and what is the matter with the title? The title passed down by the ancestors of my Jia family, although it is a descendant inheritance, it is also the shadow of the ancestors. Now that nephew Zhen has committed a crime and has sinned against the Holy Majesty, the fault lies with one person, so why should the title be blamed?"

At this moment, Jia Amnesty didn't know if he had been scolded by Jia Heng just now, and his words became serious, but it was obviously wrong, the title was not human, how could he be innocent?
Of course, what was said inside and outside the words was already planning to abandon Jia Zhen.

Of course, to deprive Jia Zhen of the title, Emperor Chongping actually had plans to use this to get rid of Jia's first noble, but the words were vague, leaving a hole of suspicion.

If the Jia family and the four princes and eight princes are active for this, then Emperor Chongping can use this as a condition to speed up the integration of the Beijing camp.

Mother Jia was mourning herself, but when she heard the words, she also reacted, her face changed as well, and she said, "You must not lose the ancestral title! Brother Zhen is useless, and you must choose another person to inherit from the clan. You must not lose the title, otherwise, we will After a hundred years, Wuyan will go to see the old Duke."

When it came to the end, Mother Jia had a sad face again, with tears streaming down her face, and cried, "I don't care about you all the time, and you get more and more contented. You just eat wine and be happy, and those who marry younger wives marry younger wives...... The titles below are all lost."

Jia She's face darkened: "..."

You Shi, who was looking pale and weeping silently, trembled slightly when she heard that her husband was abandoned by the clan, and her heart almost broke.

Jia Rong lowered her brows slightly, and her eyes flickered. It seems that the title can still be kept?

Mrs. Wang's complexion changed, and she met all eyes and said, "I'm going to see Uncle Baoyu right now."

Jia Zheng also said: "Mother, Fu Shi must have given up the value at this moment, and my son is also going to see Fu Shi."

At this time, Yuanyang came out from the back room and said softly: "Old lady, the make-up is ready, please move to change clothes."

Not to mention that the members of the Jia family are looking for relationships, but in the Daming Palace, in the side hall.

Emperor Chongping's face was indifferent, holding the imperial pen, and concentrating on reviewing the memorial.

Suddenly, the sound of footsteps came from outside the hall. It was Dai Quan, Minister of the Ming Dynasty, holding a few pieces of paper in his hand, with a strange expression on his face.

"The one who went to Jia's mansion to deliver the decree?" Emperor Chongping said calmly as he stared at the memorial without raising his head.

Dai Quan said: "Your Majesty, just came back, the Jia family received the imperial decree, thank you for your kindness, but the servant here has received an interesting story about the Jia family from the inner guard."

Emperor Chongping put down the memorial, his face was indifferent, with suspicion in his eyes, and there was no expression of joy or anger on his face, and asked: "You slave, what's the fun?"

Dai Quan bowed to accompany the smile, stepped forward, and said: "Your Majesty, look, this was sent by the inner guard just now. Jia's family is in Rongxi Hall in the morning, and Jia Heng will be interrogated in the third hall."

Said, presented with both hands.

The sage was reviewing memorials, worried about side affairs, and his anger was strong, and he might take his anger out on him at any time.

If you can temporarily relieve the sage's depression with these interesting stories, he will be good to serve you.

Moreover, it was already noon, but the saint had no intention of eating, and if the empress asked, he would also be reprimanded.

Emperor Chongping took a few sheets of paper and read them with downcast eyes, flipping through them one by one, the words on them were all that happened in Rongxi Hall, the expressions and conversations of the people were almost verbatim, vividly on the paper.

Apparently, Jia's mansion was not only infiltrated by Prince Zhongshun, but also under the close surveillance of the spies of Emperor Chongping's internal police.

Emperor Chongping looked at Jia Heng's words on it, although his majestic face was still indifferent, but there was a trace of surprise in the depths of his eyes, and he said lightly: "This Jia Heng understands the righteousness, he would rather bend than bend, and don't want to be under Ningguo. There is still such a young man?"

He knew about the situation of Jia Jiarong and Ning's sons, all of them were playboys, addicted to wealth and glory, flying eagles and lackeys.

The hundred-year-old prince's house, as of today, has long been decayed, and there is not a single one available for all the people in the clan!
Thinking back to the time when the second Duke Rongning led his cavalry into the grasslands, now...

Regarding the children of the four princes and eight princes, there have been one or two treacherous people who have maliciously speculated in recent years, saying that because of the prince, he blindly reused civil servants and deliberately suppressed the four princes and eight princes. This theory is completely wrong.

Now that the country is troubled, it is time for employing people. The four kings and eight princes are the court martial arts, the pillars of the country, and they occupy high positions.

Even if he intends to support him, so what?

Beijing Wang Shuirong, Nan'an County Wang Yanye, Wang Ziteng... which one of these did he not reuse?
However, Rongning and Ningfu were blinded by the wealth and splendor, colluded with thieves and bandits, and plundered women and children. Is this what a great Han Xungui should do?

"Remove Jia Heng? I have taken Jia Zhen's title, and the Jia family will repay Jia Zhen's title. He only cares about relatives and hides himself from each other. He only has the interests of the clan in his eyes, so what is the law of the country?" Emperor Chongping put down the letter paper in his hand, his expression indifferent, Said in a cold voice.

It is obviously a refutation of Jia's family's criticism of Jia Heng's disregard of the clan's newspaper official.

Hearing this, Dai Quan lowered his head and his heart trembled. He just wanted to let the Holy Majesty divert his frowning thoughts about the side affairs, but looking at the Holy Majesty, he seemed to be getting more and more angry.

Emperor Chongping pondered for a while, and said: "This Jia Heng, you ask the Internal Police to investigate."

If you have to use it... then think about it.

In the future, those who can't say anything about Jia's family will go to the palace to ask to see the Chonghua Palace, and disturb the Queen Mother.

It is not easy to remove the title of the Jia family.

In fact, colluding with thieves and kidnapping women and children, such a crime, is not convincing enough to get rid of the noble.

People in the world will not say that Jia Zhen colluded with bandits and attempted to commit murder, but they will only think that the emperor is mean and ungrateful. After all, his ancestors followed the Chen Han Taizu and Taizong to death, and only then did they earn the honor of living with the country, relying on a single collusion The thieves and bandits murdered their clan relatives, and they were taken down by the government before they even managed to do evil.

It would be too miserable if the title was taken away.

This is a subtle change in the human heart.

Dai Quan clapped his hands in promise, and said with a light smile, "Your Majesty, it's already noon, do you want someone to pass on the meal?"

Emperor Chongping paused when he heard the words. He was immersed in government affairs and didn't realize it. Now that he was free, he was really hungry and thirsty. He said lightly: "Pass the meal."

　I'm going to pass the meal too...

Just now, I didn't feel it when I coded, but after I finished coding, I only felt hungry.
