Jiazhu of the Red Chamber

It is said that since Jia Zhu has believed in Zhong Congyu, after returning home, he concentrates on reviewing the book, does not ask or think about other things, and waits for the day when the decision will be made.

That night, when Jia Zhu was going to rest, Wen Xin came to report that Cai Song was looking for him urgently outside the side door, and the housekeeper would not let him in.Jia Zhu only got to the side door, and saw Caisong waiting anxiously at the door, and asked, "Is there something that we can't talk about tomorrow in the daytime? Do you have to make noise at this time?"

Cai Song looked around and saw that only Wen Xin was following and there was no one else, so he felt relieved and whispered: "Miao Yun came to me just now and asked for some medicine for the arrow wound. I asked him what was the matter, and he said he was idle. It's all right, I was injured while practicing at home. Can you find some for him?"

Jia Zhu wondered, "Every pharmacy has Jinchuang medicine, why do you have to find us here?"

Cai Song whispered: "I don't know, how about I return him?"

Jia Zhu pondered and said: "Forget it, since I came here to beg, I will give it to him. Just wait here for a while, and I will send someone over."

Caisong is very grateful, Jia Zhu told Wen Xin to go to the room to bring more medicines to Caisong, he was very puzzled, but he had many troubles, and this insignificant matter disappeared the next day. Forget it.

After another five days, the security outside the mansion was still not lifted, and the whole family was in panic. Suddenly, the eunuch in the palace delivered an order that the Holy Majesty passed away and the new emperor ascended the throne. All the high-ranking people in the Rongguo Mansion went to the palace to guard the spirit.Jia Amnesty, Jia Zheng, Jia Mu, Mrs. Wang, etc. led the order, explained a few words hastily, and hurried to the palace.

The second prince Zhong Congyu succeeded to the throne, and his reign name was Congtai.

Jia Zhu also inquired that Wang Shuirong of Beijing had not been punished. According to the prince's etiquette, he entered the palace every day, and his heart finally fell to the ground. He read the book with peace of mind and prepared for next year's imperial examination.

Forty-nine days after July 49th, the palace issued an order: Jia Zhu's last mission was very sacred, and he was allowed to enter the palace to receive the reward.

Because Jia Zhu had no official position, he was accompanied by Jia Zheng, and followed the eunuch into the palace. The new emperor Zhong Congyu praised him a few words, said that Jia Zheng was good at teaching his children, and gave some gold, silver and jewels, so Jia Zheng went back first. There are still some things to explain when Jia Zhu stays in the mansion, Jia Zheng only retreated out, the whole Rongguo Mansion got the news, they were very happy, thinking that Jia Zhu was appreciated by the new emperor, the Jia family will have support in the future, the prince of Beijing did not Lost power, everything goes smoothly, the uneasy emotions of the previous period are swept away, and the behavior becomes more and more unrestrained, and such funeral events are skipped one by one.

Besides, after Jia Zheng withdrew, Zhong Congyu sent out all the eunuchs and maids, walked up to Jia Zhu, helped him up, and looked him up and down. Jia Zhu raised his head and looked back, only to see Zhong Congyu wearing a bright yellow dragon robe, Wearing a crown on his head, the familiar face adds majesty and alienation.He was in a daze, not sure if the person in front of him was still the one who would struggle with a title for a long time and get jealous over a little thing.

Zhong Congyu reached out and hugged him, and asked softly in his ear: "What's the matter? You can see straight!"

Hearing his familiar voice, Jia Zhu felt sore in her heart, and couldn't help asking, "Why isn't there even a message?"

Zhong Congyu hugged him tightly, and said: "I dare not, I am afraid that you will be worried, and I am even more afraid of getting your reply and want to find you."

Jia Zhu asked with concern: "What happened? Why did the former emperor die suddenly?"

Zhong Congyu pulled him to sit on the couch, and slowly said: "It's a long story, let me start from the beginning, lest you think wildly, or listen to other people's words, but it is not good."

Jia Zhu was annoyed: "You can say what you want, and why are you making me do it?"

Zhong Congyu hurriedly embraced him, comforting him and said: "Okay, okay, I said yes. Because of the hunting ground, the father was annoyed and imprisoned the elder brother, and punished Prince Yizhong severely, but he was not willing to punish Shui Rong. Let me go to Jiangsu and Zhejiang together with him. I have told you the whole story of these things in detail. Before leaving Beijing, I privately approached Prince Zhongshun and asked him to keep an eye on my elder brother. Prince Zhongshun was worried that something would happen to me on the way. Zhu Ting was the only one to accompany him. It's a pity that both Zhu Ting and I failed his good intentions. Zhu Ting was only thinking about water melting, and I was only thinking about you, so I decided to go my own way in private. Fortunately, although there were many dangers along the way, but He also arrived in Hangzhou safely."

Jia Zhu quickly interrupted him and said, "But I remember that apart from the time you were attacked in the suburbs of Beijing, we didn't encounter any other dangers?"

Zhong Congyu smiled and said: "My dear Zhu'er, you really don't think I'm walking alone, do you?"

Jia Zhu said, "Is your guard in the dark?"

Zhong Congyu proudly said: "That's natural! I learned a lot from a fall. Since the attack on the hunting ground, the shadow guards have never left me. They think that I will relax my vigilance when I gain power. They really underestimate people!"

Jia Zhu was secretly startled, he was unconscious of the constant conflicts along the way, and he couldn't help feeling a little scared, and then Zhong Congyu said: "I parted ways with Zhu Ting, the eldest brother was worried about the safety of Shui Rong, and divided half of the people to protect him, so this Zhu Ting didn't take advantage of anything along the way! My eldest brother is the most soft-hearted person, and he was provoked by someone to assassinate my father while I was out of Beijing. The elder brother was confessed, and the father was so angry that he passed out and woke up overnight. Unexpectedly, that night, someone came to assassinate him. The man was seriously injured by the Imperial Forest Army and escaped. But when the father found out, he was shocked and frightened , and did not wake up after fainting. The eldest brother and his faction took advantage of this opportunity to usurp the throne, but they were stopped by Prince Zhongshun. The eldest brother killed his brother and father, how can such virtues convince the public! The next thing we will receive in the field The news rushed back to Beijing, Prince Zhongshun took control of the situation, and I took over as a matter of course after returning to Beijing."

Jia Zhu heard him downplaying the matter of taking the heirloom, and knew that he was trying to prevent herself from worrying, so she said distressedly: "This is the case, as long as you are fine."

Zhong Congyu pursed his lips and said: "Who says I'm fine, you don't know, I haven't had a good night's sleep since I took the throne, there are piles of memorials waiting for me to approve, those ministers are quarreling to death, some say The eldest brother is going to be executed, and some say that the eldest brother was framed, what do you think I should do, it’s embarrassing!”

Jia Zhu saw that he was acting like a child when he became the emperor, so she teased him and said, "Then what are you doing as the emperor? Wouldn't it be the best of both worlds if you just hand it over to your elder brother?"

Zhong Congyu said dissatisfiedly: "I want to be an idle prince, I'm afraid that the eldest brother will not let me go. Although being an emperor is a bit tiring, at least I can save my life. Besides, after having you, I dare not be careless. In case Someone kidnapped you to threaten me, but I don't care about anything, not even the throne, nor my life, as long as you!"

Jia Zhu whispered, "What nonsense!"

Zhong Congyu put his arms around him, kissed his forehead, and said, "It's only because of you that I can hold on! I haven't seen me for so long, so you have nothing to say to me?" After speaking, he tilted his head and looked at Jia Zhu .

Jia Zhu was worried about his conflict with Shui Rong, because he asked, "What are you going to do with King Beijing?"

Zhong Congyu's face suddenly became ugly, and he said displeased: "We haven't seen each other for so long, so you're just asking about this?"

Knowing that he was jealous again, Jia Zhu thought that if he said he was worried about Shui Rong, Zhong Congyu would be even more unhappy, and maybe he would take his anger on Shui Rong, so he had a change of heart and said, "You know, I'd rather Both the Rong and Second Mansions rely on Prince Beijing's Mansion, if the King of Beijing falls, how can our mansion survive?"
