Cross the Sea in the Red Chamber

Jia Zheng's expression was not normal, or he had never been normal since he was demoted to rank nine, and now he didn't know whether it was excitement or sadness, his whole face was distorted, scaring Jia Lian who was lying on the ground immobile I couldn't help shivering.

Crazy... It seems that all the people who rebelled with King Zhongshun have been infected with his madness, their eyes have become wrong, and the whole person reveals a sense of irritability that is hard to fathom from the inside out.

"Lian'er..." Jia Zheng read out his nephew's name, seemingly gentle, but the murderous intent in his eyes could not be concealed no matter what.He is also ambitious, and he also wants to become a prince. He has been dreaming of this dream for decades, but even if Jia She is disabled and loses a leg, he still has to give in to a junior official from the ninth rank. , but there is no way to win the title, and even have to rely on others.How could Jia Zheng endure this?

Now that King Zhongshun forced him to even do rebellious things, why pretend to be brothers and sisters?Why don't we tear our skins apart together and completely eradicate the boss family who even dreamed of getting rid of them!

"Second...Second Uncle..." Jia Lian's voice trembled a little, and his mind kept turning. He didn't know when Jia Zheng got involved with King Zhongshun, but now is not the time to think about it. Jia Zheng's spirit is obviously not right now, he looks even more abnormal than Jia Rong, if he can't stop him, maybe he will splatter blood on the spot!

Jia Zheng stared blankly at his nephew, as if he had never seen Jia Lian before. His crazy eyes made him look like a jackal staring at its prey, and Jia Lian was so shocked that he couldn't make a sound.

The two were silent for a quarter of an hour. Jia Zheng suddenly made a move. Because he had to enter the palace ahead of time, he couldn't carry a weapon on his body, so he took off the belt that was used to decorate his coat from his waist and wrapped it around Jia Lian. His neck was tightened fiercely, his eyes were bloodshot, and he said in a low voice: "Lian'er, if you die, who will the title of Rong Guogong be passed on to?"

Jia Lian tried to struggle, but he was so poisoned that he couldn't move at all, he could only feel more and more out of breath.to whom?It won't be passed on to you anyway!

Jia Zheng looked at his nephew's terrified expression, and tightened his belt even harder, "It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter if you don't pass it on to me or Baoyu, anyway, the master has already earned the merit of being a dragon, and he has the title of fortune in the future." , so there is no need for your big house to stand in front of your eyes."

Jia Lian suffocated after hearing Jia Zheng's crazy words, the whites of his eyes rolled out, and he was about to die, but at this moment, King Zhongshun's roar suddenly came, making Jia Zheng's hands tremble, He loosened his belt, allowing Jia Lian to save his life...

Rewinding the time to a moment ago, King Zhongshun stood in the hall and looked contemptuously at Situ Sheng on the dragon chair and the officials who fell on the ground, full of ambition, and a cold light surged in his eyes.

Situ Cheng frowned, and said in a low voice, "Fourth brother, I want to ask you a question..." Probably due to the drug addiction, Situ Sheng spoke slowly and his voice was very low.

"What do you want to ask? How do I leave the palace?" Situ Hui said. He took a few steps forward and stood beside the dragon chair, talking to Situ Sheng in a low voice.Because the voices of both sides were very low, it made the officials other than them unable to hear their conversation clearly.

"Hmph, it's nothing more than bribery of gold, silver and treasures. It's hard to guess." Situ Sheng said with some disdain: "That's not what I want to ask."

"Zhen? Ha, okay, I'll let you show the emperor's profile again. Then you want to ask me how I contacted these noble families? Or do you want to ask how I contacted these cavalrymen, and even broke into the emperor's family?" City?" King Zhongshun asked with the corners of his eyes raised, but he continued without waiting for Situ Cheng's answer. He seemed to be sure that Situ Cheng was doomed, so he didn't hide anything, and said it very happily. It's like letting out the depression.

Wealth and honor do not return to their hometowns, like walking in brocade clothes at night.Similarly, if you win but don't taunt your opponent and let him know how stupid you are when you lose, it's a waste of effort in planning.

"The nobles of the family have been tortured by you, and they have been thinking about how to find a way out, not to mention that I have firmly grasped their handles, so how dare they be disobedient? As for soldiers and horses...you can't think of it, even if they come At this level, Xungui still has some soldiers and horses in his hands! The people you trust to guard the capital are some of the generals who took refuge in Xungui back then, as long as their masters are captured, these guys will surrender honestly."

Situ Hui casually pointed to a few generals whom Situ Sheng was somewhat familiar with, "This one, and that one... are all noble and well-hidden subordinates. This king didn't even expect that the Jia family has fallen into such a state. There will be such a backhand."

"Jia's family?" Hearing these two words, Situ Sheng raised his spirits a bit, "Jinling Jia's? Rongguo Mansion?"

"This king also thought that the Rongguo Mansion would be capable, but who knew it was just an embroidered pillow." Situ Hui snorted coldly, "It was in vain that I held Jia Yuanchun in my hand, but who knew that Jia Zheng was so useless, even a crippled pillow?" I can't even fight, and I don't know anything important. Hmph, I thought I would receive some useful people, but I didn't expect to only provoke a mangy dog ​​full of hypocrisy, crying and wanting to get the power of the dragon. Okay Ah, this king has fulfilled him!"

Situ Sheng turned his head with difficulty, saw Jia Zheng in eunuch uniform, and frowned, "You let him sneak into the palace, hide the incense in the hall, and light it up during the court meeting?"

"How can it be called sneaking into the palace?" Situ Hui smiled disdainfully, "The palace is strictly guarded. Since the two palace changes on the winter solstice and New Year's Eve, the gate control has been the strictest in history. Isn't this just what you arranged? Such a strict guard Access control, how can a fake eunuch get in? Even wearing eunuch clothes with a eunuch badge in his hand is useless."

"Didn't you see that he has no beard? No matter how clean a man's beard is shaved, he will not be so smooth. He is not a fake eunuch, but a real eunuch."

The corner of Situ Sheng's mouth twitched, no matter what, he never expected such a thing to happen.It stands to reason that Situ Hui can even get waist badges and clothing, and even has the ability to arrange his subordinates to sneak into the palace where the court is located without attracting the attention of others. It is not easy to bribe or blackmail an eunuch.But who would have thought that he would force Jia Zheng, an imperial official...?No wonder Jia Zheng's expression is so strange, it's just... Situ Sheng thought about it for a long time but couldn't think of how to describe it.

If he remembered correctly, it would take about a month for a eunuch to get well after that. If he wanted to shorten the time and recover well, he needed the palace's secret medicine to treat trauma.Situ Hui was so sick that he forced Jia Zheng to do something, and then specially found the secret medicine in the palace to help him recover, and helped Jia Zheng cover up that he hadn't gone to Honglu Temple for a while, just to let him do it. Can he even have a bit of incense?Isn't this sick?

Of course, Situ Sheng didn't know that this was not what Situ Hui meant at all...Situ Hui had summoned Jia Zheng, talked for a long time, and after knowing that he was a waste, he planned to throw him aside, regardless of whether he lived or died.Who knew that Jia Yuanchun didn't intend to let Jia Zheng go, but directly drew his sword at each other, and then it became like this...

King Zhongshun originally wanted to settle accounts with Jia Yuanchun, but who knew that Jia Yuanchun couldn't think about committing suicide for a while, and when he went to see Jia Zheng who woke up, he was glued to by the vile mangy dog.Jia Zheng didn't know that Jia Yuanchun was dead, and he was afraid that King Zhongshun would use Jia Yuanchun to deal with him who was useless, so he wanted to find someone to help him, but King Zhongshun was afraid that the news of Jia Zheng's disappearance would alarm him. The nobles and Situ Sheng were afraid that Jia Zheng would not be killed. This man dragged him to die because of his lack of love, and news broke that he was going to rebel...

Beating wolves with hemp sticks - fear at both ends.So as soon as they compromised with each other, the situation turned into the current situation that made Situ Sheng sick no matter how he looked at it...

Situ Sheng didn't intend to continue to entangle Jia Zheng, and said directly: "Ningguo Mansion? They can still control the generals? I didn't see it."

King Zhongshun raised the corners of his mouth, "Ningguo Mansion? Hmph, it's not Jia Zhen, that trash who has the ability to mobilize troops, but our good second brother! The dead Prince Yizhong, Situ Ang! If it wasn't for Jia Zhen, that trash After finding the second brother's illegitimate daughter and marrying her to my son, how can Jia Rong easily find out the remnants of the abolished prince?"

"Hehe, Jia Zhen is a coward who can even do things like run away. I think he might not obey my orders if I threaten him. Fortunately, he did something bold in his life. He picked up ashes with his daughter-in-law. Haha If it wasn't for this, how would Jia Rong, who was cuckolded, be willing to use me? Hmph, even our good nephew, King Yizhong, doesn't know about this remnant power, but it's cheaper for the Jia family. "

Situ Sheng frowned when he heard this kind of chaos, but he continued to listen.No wonder those generals looked familiar. He had seen them before. He had met the confidantes of Feng Ao's subordinates when he was an ordinary prince, but they were not familiar with them. Thinking that it fell into the hands of the Jia family.

"With the influence of the good second brother, it is much easier to get soldiers and enter the imperial city. Feng Ao, that old fox, if Situ Ang didn't live up to his expectations, he would use his ability to manage his subordinates to launch a palace change to seize the world. Why not?"

Feng Ao has already resigned from office and went back to hiding. Even the former Chief Assistant, Uncle Guo, who died last year, still has such a backhand.No one in this world can be underestimated, even if one is underestimated, it will cause big trouble.

Situ Sheng raised his brows, and actually withdrew a smile. He was neither flustered nor sad, but a bit of sincere joy was revealed in his smile, "Unfortunately, that's not what I want to ask. Brother Si, You still haven't answered my question."

"Oh? You want to ask the Supreme Emperor?" Situ Hui put on a conversational look, as if he would answer no matter what Situ Sheng wanted to ask.In his mind, he led thousands of cavalry to surround the imperial city, and even hundreds of people surrounded this hall. He already had the chance to win, so why bother with a person who is about to die.

When dealing with opponents who had vendettas in the past but are now defeated, some people wish they could kill them immediately, while others want to chat more because they have been oppressed for a long time.Is there anything more desirable than defeating a powerful opponent?At least Situ Hui thought so.

"The Supreme Emperor is dying, but when he heard that I was going to deal with you, he signed the imperial edict with great energy." Situ Hui pointed to his bosom, and he only showed the edict after killing Situ Sheng , and justifiably ascended the throne as the emperor.

"Third son, you are indeed a hero. Compared with a hero, you have a heart for the world, and compared with a hero, you have amazing skills. In this world, talented people such as Jiang Yuan and Lin Jun all come under your family, and even the northern barbarians are not yours. Opponent. Ha, although I have a high opinion of myself, I have to admit that you are the unrivaled hero, a rare wise king."

"You are too strong...but the stronger you are, the more you will be hated. Even though father knows that you are the most suitable person to rule the world among our brothers, he still decides to destroy you, because you compare everyone to nothing. Guanghua, unless you are killed, the father who has done so many things in order to win/power will be a faint king in history, and no monarch can bear this."

"Father can't bear to become a foolish king, and we can't bear to become a person who is jealous of the virtuous and capable. If we fail, history will definitely record that we will take the blame and deserve it. Unless you die... Only when you die can we rectify our name. So , please, third brother, go and die."

After listening to Situ Hui's heartfelt words, Situ Sheng still smiled, as if what he heard was not the prediction of death but the funniest joke he had heard in a year, "Fourth brother, that's not what I want to ask. It seems that our brothers have never had a tacit understanding in this life."

Situ Hui frowned, put away his madness, raised his head, looked down at his smiling brother, and asked coldly: "Oh? This king wants to ask, you, a defeated general, want to ask what?"

Situ Cheng sat up straight with a smile, straightened the folds on his sleeves, and moved gracefully and freely, as if he didn't see Situ Hui's frightened expression. He asked himself: "What I want to ask is, what is it?" Do you have the guts to plot rebellion, King Zhongshun?" His Majesty the Emperor's eyes were like lightning, and with just one glance, Situ Hui's internal organs were as if they had fallen into an ice cave.

"You...you didn't fall for the fragrance?!" After a brief surprise, King Zhongshun roared in horror, which not only interrupted the actions of Jia Zheng and Jia Rong, but also made everyone in the hall, from rebels to officials People focused on Situ Sheng.

The cold blade was sharp as if it could cut through the cold wind, but now, such a sharp dagger stretched out from nowhere and rested on King Zhongshun's neck, making him dare not even swallow his saliva. Afraid of being scratched by the blade of the Adam's apple.A slightly smiling voice sounded from behind King Zhongshun, "Your Majesty's destiny is here, so what will happen?"

Hearing this voice, King Zhongshun could no longer keep calm, "Jiang...Jiangyuan!"

"It's Wei Chen." Jiang Yuan held a dagger and stood behind Situ Hui with a smile, as if he was not holding a rebellious prince hostage, but filling a cup with tea.

Jiang Yuan's movements were too fast, he changed from a prone position to a running position with the support of his arms, he jumped onto the imperial steps with only two vertical leaps, and then pulled out his right hand on the jade jade in his hand, and pulled out a A sharp dagger appeared on Situ Hui's neck in the next instant.

Such a speed makes people unable to react at all. The rebels who followed King Zhongshun into the hall didn't even have time to react before they found out that the lord was being held hostage.This is not the most frightening thing. What made the scalps of these rebels tingle was that the friendly army who broke into the imperial city with them actually betrayed King Zhongshun and slashed at them who were defenseless.

Before dying, a confidant of King Zhongshun shouted loudly: "Wu...you actually betrayed?!"

The steel knife that pierced his lungs was pulled out by the knife owner, and a hand stained with the blood gushing out of that confidant pushed it to his face, pushing the dead man to the ground, "It's not me Betrayal, but King Zhongshun should not have betrayed Dajing."

"Wu Yuanqing, you!" Another traitor shouted in surprise, but the man who turned around chopped off his head with a knife.This "rebellious" general is Wu Yuanqing, the guard of Yongding Gate!

Wu Yuanqing held the steel knife and said to himself: "Some people can be bought with money, and some people can't be bought with more money. For me, Dajing is the most important thing. Only Your Majesty Can you bring Dajing a glorious future, King Zhongshun? Is he worthy?"

Following Wu Yuanqing's actions, the city guards that King Zhongshun thought he had bribed "rebelled". They were Situ Sheng's confidantes, so how could they betray the wise emperor?

Looking at the main hall, the resistance of his subordinates is getting weaker and weaker, and countless "insiders" "turned against the water", and many officials on the ground who should have been stunned got up, took out weapons from hidden places, and killed the traitors. Army, King Zhongshun finally realized that the situation was over.

"When did you know that I was going to seize power?" Situ Hui gave up his resistance and looked desperately at the emperor who was resting.I, even the king, don't remember to say it, so one can imagine his panic at this time.

"At the beginning." Situ Sheng said with a smile.

From the time when King Zhongshun colluded with nobles, noble families, and generals, from when he contacted the Supreme Emperor, from when he bought the guards, from when he smashed the pair of plum vases, from when he had this idea, no, earlier , from the time when he was trapped in the palace, from the first time when he showed ambitious eyes in front of Situ Sheng...

The generals guarding the city did not betray Situ Sheng, the generals guarding the palace did not betray Situ Sheng, and even the soldiers guarding Zhongshun Palace did not betray Situ Sheng.This rebellion is not so much the rebellion of King Zhongshun, it is better to say that it has never left Situ Sheng's control from the beginning to the end, just like a puppet on a string, no matter how good the puppet's drama is, it is still tied by a rope Yes, there is no escape at all.

This scene looks magnificent, but it is actually just a joke that has already been doomed to end.Situ Sheng and Jiang Yuan had already decided everything, and they just waited for Situ Hui to slip into the trap by himself.What brought back only 5 horses, what showed flaws, and what came to an end, all had a well-defined background in order to lure snakes out of their holes.

Of course, if Situ Hui wasn't such a person, no matter how he planned, it would be useless. The only one to blame was Situ Hui's unwillingness to admit defeat, and he had to fight for the last time no matter what!

All the conspirators have been captured, Jia Zheng, Jia Rong and Wang Zisheng are no exception, even those officials who shouted to surrender to King Zhongshun and insulted Situ Sheng were also arrested. People who are afraid of death will not impose heavy punishments, but anyone with eyes can see that they will not have a bright future in this life.

The crime of treason is unforgivable!Both the Jia family and the Wang family have people involved, so how can they avoid this catastrophe?Whether those nobles or noble families, this time they were all tied up by Situ Hui on the thief ship, and at this time, they were all caught by His Majesty's big net.

To eradicate them, the principle is the same as Jiang Yuan catching sparrows, sprinkle bait to attract them to take the bait, hold your breath and calmly wait for them to enter the trap, and finally pull the rope and catch them all!This time, even if the Supreme Emperor wants to keep them, it is impossible, not to mention that King Zhongshun has fallen, and Situ Cheng has no more constraints. The Supreme Emperor is not a fool, so what's the use of protecting these idiots?

Soldiers rushed into the mansion, escorted all those dandy children and boudoir women into the prison, sealed up the treasury, and escorted the gold and silver into the treasury. These families that have been famous for hundreds of years or extremely arrogant are about to end in ashes.Perhaps His Majesty the Emperor will not execute everyone, but if they lose the opportunity to be an official and lose all their money, these people are destined to live in a more miserable life than ordinary people, and they will even become servants of others from the children of officials.

The whole family of those who participated in the treason would be implicated, and none of them could escape, and from the moment King Zhongshun was arrested, the Taishanghuang became visibly depressed, as if all hopes and attachments were shattered, and he appeared to be born. He looked like he had nothing to love, and his physical level plummeted.

All the imperial physicians from the Imperial Hospital gathered in the Qianqing Palace, because Situ Sheng had issued a death order to save the Supreme Emperor's life before the spring came and the ice and snow melted.The imperial physicians did not dare to be negligent. Ginseng and Ganoderma lucidum were used on the Taishanghuang as if they didn’t need money. They managed to save his life, but at most they could only save his life. The Taishanghuang was unconscious and continued to coma.

It's good to save your life, Jiang Yuan let out a long sigh of relief, he was afraid that the Supreme Emperor would die.Even if the emperor doesn't have to keep his filial piety for three years, it is not suitable to send troops just after the emperor's death. It may affect the Northern Expedition and give the northern barbarians a chance to breathe. Everything can no longer be stopped.

The Jia family was involved in a conspiracy and all were captured. The result must be extremely miserable. Jiang Yuan's hatred has already been avenged.A slow revenge, let him take ten years to pay off his hatred, but a person's life should definitely not only be revenge and hatred, and Jiang Yuan is definitely not such a superficial person, he wants to fulfill his ideals in the rest of the time, just like Promise disciple Situ Ye's words are the same, and will remain unchanged for a lifetime!
