The Coral of the Red Mansion Does Not Return

Unfilial!This crime is very serious. The Great Zhou ruled the country with filial piety. When the first emperor was there, an official's mother sued him for disobedience. The first emperor actually took off his official hat and even deprived him of his fame.

King Cheng hurriedly knelt down to defend: "I have heard about this matter. The fate of a person is determined by the heavens. It cannot be reversed by manpower. Duke Rong and his wife are eager to love their son. The master is grateful and helps each other. Jia Hu just obeys his father's order." That's all."

This is playing stupid with him!The emperor snorted and refused to let him get up.This son is still capable and good-natured. However, because Jia Hu chose him, the emperor had to list Cheng Wang as a key training object, and he was still a little upset.

Cheng Wang is also used to it.Recently, the emperor scolded him from time to time. King Cheng didn't know what had angered the emperor.Brothers have been laughing at him a lot lately.He had a faint feeling in his heart that this was not the case. Thinking of what the hidden guard reported, he understood that the master had hurriedly asked a guard beside him to deliver a letter to the emperor before he sat down.He just wished he didn't know the contents of the letter.

However, Jia Hu couldn't run away.

Sure enough, the emperor said reservedly: "In that case, call Jia Hu in, I'd like to see what he said."

Jia Hu had already been waiting in the side hall.Early this morning, the palace sent someone to announce Jia Hu, the family didn't know what to do, Liu only said, if the emperor asks about Jia Baoyu, just answer truthfully.

After entering, what the emperor asked was not about this matter, which made Jia Hu's preparations in advance all in vain.His heart was pounding, the crime of unfilial piety could be big or small, depending on what the emperor thought.

He changed his mind, bent down deeply, and made it clear that he didn't want to harm other women, so he had to use ghosts and gods to make his parents stop thinking about marrying him.

King Cheng gave him anxious winks, but Jia Hu didn't notice it.The emperor instantly remembered Jia Hu's handwriting that he had seen during the palace examination. It was regular and vigorous, and his handwriting was as expected.

The emperor clapped his hands and said with a smile: "Since that's the case, you will be a good student and filial to your parents in the future."

Jia Hu breathed a sigh of relief, and heard the emperor appreciate his ingenuity, and said, "King Cheng has begged me for you many times. Would Ai Qing leave the impoverished place of the Imperial Academy and work as an errand in the Ministry of Household Affairs?"

Jia Hu declined and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty and His Highness Cheng Wang, for your love, but I don't have experience in business affairs, so I don't dare to show off in front of the lords of the Ministry of Household Affairs. It's better to study in the Imperial Academy for a few more years."

The emperor said with a smile: "Since this is the case, the return of the Rong Mansion to the silver is meritorious. What reward does Ai Qing want?"

Jia Hu was overjoyed, and climbed up the pole, saying: "I really have something to ask."

the emperor asked curiously.

Jia Hu said embarrassingly: "The emperor also knows that our Jia family was born in the army, and the books in the family are not as good as those of the scholarly families. I heard that there are many precious books in the library in the palace. I request that I can enter the cabinet to copy the books."

This is not a big deal, the emperor readily agreed, and Jia Hu could enter the Library Pavilion three times a month, and he was allowed to bring a pen, ink, paper and inkstone to copy books.

Jia Hu was very happy to thank her.

He has nothing to do in the Imperial Academy, and he is also copying books, but how can the Imperial Academy compare with Zangshu Pavilion.It should be known that books are precious nowadays, and there are more scholarly families than poor students, because they have a rich collection of books at home. If you read a lot, you will have vision and experience.Rong Mansion's collection of books are all available in the market, those rare and rare books are rare, most of them are the dowry of the mistress.

Seeing Jia Hu was really happy, and the emperor also had a slight smile on his face.Cheng Wang, who was on the sidelines, also had to admit that although his father let it go lightly for some reason, Jia Hu used this trick beautifully, and the kindness he asked for was not too big or small, which was more than worth the credit.

He turned around and smiled at the emperor, "Father, didn't you still lament for a long time after Duke Rong passed away? Now that 'the young phoenix is ​​as loud as the old phoenix', there will be someone who will succeed Duke Rong!"

The emperor also thought of the old minister, and it was inevitable that he was a little sad.Jia Daishan belonged to the late emperor, and now his grandsons are out of office, the emperor is getting old, and the next generation of princes is fighting for power again.

The emperor sighed for a while, then suddenly recalled the strange incident that was spread all over the sky in the palace, and couldn't help asking in a solemn voice: "It is said that the second wife of the Jia family gave birth to a son with jade, Jia Hu, what do you think?"

Jia Hu cursed secretly, she knew it would bring trouble to Lao Tzu!Immediately, he knelt down again and spoke the words at the beginning.

"Doubt?" the emperor asked with interest.

Jia Hu coughed and said one by one: "It is said that my cousin's piece of jade is as big as a pigeon's egg, but I have a question, the baby's tongue is very small, how can it fit in?"

King Cheng nodded and said, "That makes sense." The emperor just smiled and said nothing.

He added: "I heard from my mother that there are eyes on the top. If it is really a gift from heaven, how could it be?" Jia Hu thought for a while and gave an evaluation, "Caring."

Taoism believes that the world is not benevolent, and all things are treated as dogs.There are many people in China who pray to gods and worship Buddhas, but no gods and Buddhas actually perform miracles and respond to the prayers of believers.Don't you see, even if the emperor prayed to the sky for rain, he might not be able to get it.How could such aloof gods and Buddhas consider these things for mere mortals?

The emperor was moved, and Cheng Wang also sneered and said: "Father, according to my son and minister, it is just a woman's trivial plan."

Regarding the matter of ghosts and gods, those in high positions would rather believe what they have than believe nothing, not to mention that there is a Buddhist and Taoist master in the royal family.Originally, the emperor and King Cheng were somewhat taboo, but when Jia Hu said this, he also doubted whether it was true.

The emperor said slowly: "If it is really bestowed by the gods, the means of the immortal family cannot be predicted by me and other mortals. - Jia Aiqing hasn't seen this jade yet?" He ordered the left and right, "Show Master Jia a look at that jade. "

The little eunuch stood in front of Jia Hu with the brocade box, the bright yellow silk cloth set off the jade radiance, it was really beautiful.It turned out that when Jia Zheng got the news, he scolded Xiao Wang for being stupid, and immediately presented the psychic gem to the emperor in the name of auspiciousness.

This is the first time he has seen the psychic gem!Jia Hu examined it carefully, even flipped through it with his hands, wanting to see what magical powers it had.The little eunuch didn't stop him either.King Cheng had never seen it before, so he walked over to check it out curiously.

The more he looked, the more surprised Jia Hu's face became.The emperor who was silently watching from the side asked, "Why is Jia Aiqing so surprised?"

Jia Hu knelt down with a bang, his face was terrified, and both Cheng Wang and the emperor were startled. He said euphemistically, "Father gave me a piece of jade in the early years. This pattern is very familiar."

The emperor suddenly changed color.

King Cheng asked anxiously, "Jia Hu, are you telling the truth?" His voice warned, "This is a crime of deceiving the emperor!"

Jia Hu said with certainty: "It's true. The words on it are exactly the same, only the size is different. That jade is still in the box in my room."

The emperor and King Cheng looked at each other with ugly expressions on their faces.

The emperor said: "Submit it up for me to see."

The process of waiting was oppressive, the emperor's face was sinking like water, and King Cheng and Jia Hu didn't say a word, and they didn't even make eye contact.

The emperor was very angry.Originally thought that Jia Baoyu was Jia Hu's cousin, maybe he had something special about him, but the emperor was just regretting that Master Liaoran, who had great supernatural powers, had passed away, and suddenly said that this psychic jade might be fake!

Feel cheated inside.

Speaking of the jade Jia She gave, Jia Hu has his own considerations.This matter can be found out as soon as it is investigated. Rather than it suddenly broke out that day, it is better for him to confess from the beginning, so as not to be suspected by the emperor of ulterior motives.Jia Zheng's first room has already been separated, so there's no need to do it for them.What's more, if the psychic gem was used by some prince, it would be a major event of ransacking the family and exterminating the family. Jia Hu didn't dare to take such a risk, so he simply nailed the 'fake gem' to death.

The emperor seemed impatient and drove them to the side hall. Jia Hu didn't think that he could speak freely when he got to the side hall. When King Cheng asked about it, he still explained the matter clearly and told the emperor through the eyes and ears here.

"That year my father taught me how to recognize jade, and brought back the same psychic jade from the outside. It was the first time my father gave me jade. I was very happy. At that time, I hung it on my waist every day."

"Why don't you hang up such a meaningful jade now?" Cheng Wang asked.

Jia Hu showed him the 'Hu' jade around his waist, and said: "Later, my father said that the quality of the jade was too ordinary, so I specially found a good piece of black jade, and asked someone to carve the word 'Hu'. It was handed down from the previous dynasty, without a trace of color. My younger brother Jia Lian also has one."

Jia Amnesty was obviously very stingy in order to keep the second wife from spending money, but later he felt that it was really unreal, how could such a cheap jade be worn on his waist by the eldest grandson of the dignified Duke's mansion?They changed one.Jia Hu didn't know until later that Jia Lian was born, and there was also a piece of jade with the character 'Lian', representing the names of the two.

King Cheng nodded, and when the jade was brought up, it was indeed the piece of jade with the character 'Hu' around Jia Hu's waist that was of better quality and had a better meaning.

After discussing some matters with the ministers, the emperor calmed down a bit. At least now, when comparing the two pieces of jade together, there is no expression on his face.

Jia Hu's piece is larger, with clear handwriting, and Jia Baoyu's piece is much smaller, so it is difficult to figure out what is written on it. However, comparing the two, it is obvious that the characters engraved on the two pieces of jade have different handwriting, but the characters are different. the same.

When going to fetch Jia Hu's psychic jade, the emperor also ordered Jia Zheng to be summoned.He didn't know what was going on, Jia Hu pulled him and whispered in a corner of the side hall, his face turned pale and his eyes stared in shock.

When the emperor caught Lei Ting and asked him angrily, Jia Zheng kowtowed again and again, saying that he was going to divorce the ignorant lady.

The emperor sneered, Jia Daishan's youngest son, who didn't repair the inner weft, was fooled into this by the wife of the inner house, no wonder he hasn't moved his position for ten years.Forget it, he was still an irresponsible pustule.Blind the official position he bestowed.

In a rage, the emperor wiped Jia Zheng's body from the head of the fifth-rank Ministry of Industry, and ordered him to go back and meditate behind closed doors, and returned the psychic jade to Jia Zheng.When the harem heard about this incident, the queen followed suit and scolded Xiao Wang for pretending to be a ghost.

For a while, "Jia Baoyu, fake Baoyu" became a joke all over the capital.As for Jia Hu, his presence in this matter was deliberately erased, and outsiders only know that the emperor saw through the 'fake jade', because someone presented the exact same jade, which was struck a few years ago.As for who contributed, no one paid attention.

After finishing what King Cheng was supposed to say, he went out of the palace with Jia Hu and Jia Zheng.

The emperor only knew that King Cheng asked Master Qingran to cooperate with him about the matter of Huangjue Temple, but he didn't know the specific explanation. King Cheng knew the inside story and still had doubts.Watching Jia Zheng's bleak back go away, Jia Hu sent a servant back to the mansion to report his safety, and then got into the carriage of Prince Cheng's mansion.
