Chapter 283 Mr. Liu
In the Imperial Study, the emperor did not review the memorials immediately after returning from court.
He was feeling extremely complicated at this moment.
On the other hand, Wang Ziteng, who was angry, launched a war against Annan in order to quickly take over the army of Prince Nan'an. At the same time, I was happy that this guy was conquering cities and territories. In just a few days, he had captured three cities of the enemy.
Three cities! The emperor was very happy with these three cities, but Wang Ziteng did this because he wanted to replace the Prince of Nan'an and become a powerful official, right?
He had a hard time suppressing the Prince of Nan'an.
"Your Majesty," Mr. Liu came hurriedly from the side room, "Good news," he said in a steady voice, "Jia Zhen went to smash the gate of the Wang family."
What? The emperor's eyes sparkled. "Why?"
Compared to the Nan'an Palace, which has been passed down for generations and has become too big to be lost, Wang Ziteng...
The emperor was persuading himself that as long as he worked hard to expand the territory for Dazhao, he would be a powerful official!
But now…
If the Wang family and the Jia family quarrel, the Wang family will only lose.
He just played a supporting role to make up for his mistakes... He didn't have the conditions to be a powerful official.
The emperor is not afraid of his subjects' individual abilities; he hopes that each of them is capable.
But he was afraid that his ministers would have connections with each other.
Especially the Jia family before.
The Beijing Camp was created by the old Duke of Ning. As a founding general, the soldiers of the Beijing Camp were his subordinates.
His son Jia Daihua perfectly inherited the Beijing camp.
The emperor trusted him, and Jia Daihua lived up to his trust.
When he met Jia Jing, he gave up martial arts and turned to literature in order to avoid suspicion.
But he also has a good relationship with his brother the Crown Prince.
If the Crown Prince inherits the throne, the emperor will not see any problem even if the Beijing Camp is still in Jia Jing's hands.
Jia Jing is a capable official, and the Jia family is also loyal.
But the prince is gone.
The emperor began to suspect the Jia family again.
Jia Daihua and Jia Daishan died in the same year.
When Jia Jing went to the Taoist temple, the Jia family members of the same generation as him did not take any effort to educate him in order to avoid suspicion.
Originally, he would not be afraid of the Jia family.
The retired emperor thought of them as old ministers, and the emperor was also willing that the old ministers of the founding dynasty could continue with the Dazhao Dynasty for generations.
However, the Jia family transferred their military connections to Wang Ziteng.
At one time, the emperor particularly hated the Jia family.
They almost treated him and his father like fools.
Two generations of marriage, what is the difference between the Wang family and the Jia family? Especially they sent Yuanchun into the palace.
That is to become the next Zhen family.
Not only do they want to be the next Zhen family, they also have ambiguous relationships with Concubine Zhen and Prince Jin, trying to be fence-sitters.
Fortunately, everything has changed because of Mrs. Shen.
From praying for her daughter to paying off the debt owed to the national treasury, every action of the Jia family was altruistic.
The emperor was looking forward to this event very much and wanted to know the reason.
"Ahem~"
Mr. Liu didn't know what to say for a moment.
"Does your throat hurt, sir?"
The emperor was very worried about Liu Buzhi's health.
I was afraid that he would fall ill and I wouldn’t be able to do anything for him.
"Someone, call the imperial physician."
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, I am fine."
Mr. Liu could only stop her, "It's hard to say about the Jia family's affairs, mainly because the Wang family's daughter is not a good person..."
"Tell me more specifically."
The emperor's eyes were filled with curiosity and he took a piece of dessert when he sat down.
Humph! Mr. Liu snorted to express his speechlessness, and then simply gave up, "Isn't the wife of Jia Zheng, whom you personally sent home, a daughter of the Wang family?"
"Yeah, I remember."
He had originally thought that Jia Zheng was a gentleman, but he really didn't know that he was so stupid. "He has a nickname, the second fool, but wasn't he expelled from Rongguo Mansion?"
"He was expelled from Rongguo Mansion, but he is still a member of the Jia family."
Mr. Liu despised such people. "He quarreled with his wife Wang, who was dissatisfied with her current situation and fabricated that Madam Shen of Ningguo Mansion had an affair with Jia She of Rongguo Mansion and was supporting her brother-in-law."
What? The emperor was stunned. "When did this happen?"
"Five days ago," Mr. Liu said, "I found out yesterday. By the time I found out, it had already spread."
“How is Mrs. Shen now?”
How important is a woman’s reputation? Wang deserves to die.
The emperor wished he could send someone to capture Wang immediately and make her talk nonsense.
“Your Majesty, rest assured. Madam Shen’s heart has never been in the back house. She will not be hurt by this stupid woman.”
real?
The emperor was not reassured.
Mrs. Shen has suffered from a series of serious illnesses. Dean He said that if she doesn't take good care of herself, her life span will be affected.
“Does Mrs. Shen know about this now?”
"I already know."
"how?"
The emperor asked urgently.
"The old lady Shi from Rongguo Mansion wants to execute Wang, who wants to harm the whole family, and even wants to sacrifice her son Jia Zheng..."
There are a lot of things going on here.
But Mr. Liu happened to be paying attention, so he told the emperor everything he knew. "This is what happened. Madam Shen has returned to Beijing," he said. "When I heard about it yesterday, I was thinking of a way to break the situation. I was going to put the blame on the Jin people in Huitong Hall, saying that they spent money to spread the rumor and make it a false accusation against Madam Shen by the Jin people."
"Yes, yes, that's it."
The emperor was immediately attracted.
Want to do it right away, "Liu An..."
"Don't be impatient, Your Majesty," Mr. Liu said, angrily and amusedly, "I wanted to do this, but before I could do it, Suo Jin had already done it."
ah? The emperor's eyes sparkled.
Liu An, who was about to do it immediately, couldn't help but laugh.
“They don’t need us to push them to do anything about their hatred for Madam Shen.”
Mr. Liu smiled and said, “So, when I knew that Suo Jin was going to spend money to spread rumors, I went to find Princess Rong.”
What does it mean? The emperor didn't quite understand.
"Among the people of Dazhao, only a minority work for the Jin people."
Mr. Liu's smile was very warm, "Sure enough, as soon as they took the silver, someone immediately shouted out on the spot, saying that the Jin people took the silver and asked them to spread Mrs. Shen's dirty rumors."
This is……
The emperor finally understood Mr. Liu's smile and asked expectantly, "If the Jia family knows about this, they will definitely come to Huitong Hall. So, what did you ask Princess Rong to do?"
"People like Suo Jin have been suppressed by Madam Shen several times, and they can no longer support the style of the so-called princes of the Qing Dynasty."
Mr. Liu said: "I asked Princess Rongguo to persuade Wohe to serve as an official of my Dazhao Dynasty, just like their ancestors served as officials of the Ming Dynasty."
"Will they... agree?"
This is also what the emperor wanted.
He still had the Tatar tribes to recover, so he couldn't just start a massacre there.
"It's unrealistic to expect them to agree immediately." Mr. Liu smiled meaningfully, "However, if Madam Shen helps again, it will be different."
…
Not to mention the various disputes among various parties in the capital because of this incident, Wang and Jia Zheng went to the toilet several times after taking the medicine.
Both husband and wife looked very pale.
However, when Wang took the medicine bowl handed to her by the old woman again, she still felt that her medicine was lighter in color than Jia Zheng's, as if water had been added to it.
She was filled with anger.
But at this time, she didn't dare to shout out.
Wang looked several times at her son Jia Zhu who was sleeping on the kang.
Her hair was much whiter than hers and Jia Zheng's, and was really eye-catching.
"Mother, I only have ten taels of silver left."
After drinking the medicine and regaining his life, Jia Zheng was extremely reluctant to give up his silver, "You..."
"Search~"
Jia She snatched the silver from him and before the old lady could speak, he coldly said the word "search".
Several servants came forward silently and touched the quilt, clothes, and even Jia Zheng's body.
Just when Lady Jia was about to get angry, a servant found a few small silver coins in Jia Zheng's shoes and socks.
Jia Zheng: “…”
Grandmother Jia: “…”
Everyone: “…”
Jia Zheng's face turned red and he felt ashamed to death.
Grandmother Jia opened her mouth, sighed, and could only say: "Give them all to Shou'er, and also the cow, Shou'er, you can take them all away!"
"yes!"
Shou'er was not at all vague. He took the money from Jia She and pulled the ox.
Seeing that he was about to leave, Wang finally panicked and cried, "Old lady, are you still going to force us to die?"
"Who said that?"
Jia She snorted coldly, "Haven't you been running towards your own death all along?"
He was merciless. "Jia Zheng, last year in your village, a man made some money, but his wife used the money to buy clothes for her parents-in-law instead of her parents-in-law. As a result, she was taken to the ancestral hall and beaten with ten boards. Did you know that?"
Jia Zheng: “…”
His face, which had been blushing, suddenly turned pale again.
"Your wife is so disgusting to your family, what are you doing?"
Jia She said, "You didn't do anything, so I have already told the head of your village to lend you the ancestral hall."
"What are you borrowing someone else's ancestral hall for?"
The old lady finally got a chance to speak, "Our family..."
"Mother!"
Jia She interrupted, "I'm afraid that his stupidity will anger our ancestors. Especially my grandfather and father. If they knew that their children and grandchildren were cheating on their parents again and again, I'm afraid they would be so angry that they would come to talk to us in the middle of the night."
Grandmother Jia: “…”
She shut up.
Although she had always loved Duke Chongguo very much, that was when he was not angry.
The old lady didn't want to be yelled at by the Duke who was already a ghost at her old age.
Humans and ghosts have different paths.
She is old and has a strong negative energy, so it is better to avoid her if possible.
"Jia Zheng, let's go!"
If Jia Zhen had not already left with his eldest sister-in-law, Jia She would not be happy to see Jia Zheng here.
He really gets angry every time he looks at him.
"Madame Lai, please invite Wang to come and watch the execution together."
Jia She had already figured it out. His brother's medicine was stronger, while Wang's medicine... had water added to it.
He doesn't care whether this was ordered by the old lady or not.
But to be honest, although Jia Zheng was stupid but had a bad side, he was timid and wanted to keep up appearances. Without Wang Shi, even if he had some bad intentions, he would not dare to say them out loud.
At this time, everyone in the village was alarmed.
Both coercion and inducement are used.
Anyway, if anyone in this village spreads the rumor about the sister-in-law supporting her brother-in-law again...
The guards killed chickens from several families.
They are all people who like to gossip.
Other families had silver peanuts and golden melon seeds, but they had nothing. If they hadn't begged and pleaded with tears and crawling, and the village chief had not interceded for them, almost all the livestock in their family would have been killed.
Even now, after their families watched with everyone else as Jia Zheng was beaten with ten boards, other families could eat the pig-killing banquet provided by the Jia family for free and drink delicious chicken soup, but they got nothing.
This loss...
Enough to devastate every member of the family.
The noisy noise made Jia Zhu, who had just drunk the calming soup and was in a deep sleep, turn over.
…
At Ningguo Mansion, just as Shen Ning arrived home, a maid reported that Jia Min was here.
"Sister-in-law~"
Since her mother and brother hadn't come back yet, Jia Min could only focus on this side. "Are you the only one coming back?"
"They will be back soon."
Shen Ning motioned for her to sit down, "You sit down first, I'll go wash up."
She will go to Huitong Hall in a while.
There is actually no point in extorting money from them.
The so-called Qing Dynasty is already a piece of fish on a sticky chopping board.
If she extorts too much, the emperor might even think she is trying to steal his girl.
"Qingzhu, tell the fourth aunt what happened."
"yes!"
Qingzhu nodded quickly.
When Chen Ning finished everything and came out again, Qing Zhu had already finished talking.
"I'm going to Huitong Hall."
"Sister-in-law, I'm with you."
Jia Min looked very unhappy. She didn't expect Wang to be so stupid and vicious.
Although I have never liked this second sister-in-law, thinking that she is petty and calculating, I never thought that she could repeatedly break the bottom line of being a "human being".
The eldest sister-in-law's reputation is ruined. As a daughter-in-law of the Jia family, what good can she get?
She also has sons, daughters and a wife.
Jia Min was so angry at Wang that her chest ached.
Now she knew why her nephew Jia Zhu's hair turned white overnight.
Having parents like that... is simply a tragedy in this world.
"Why are you in such a hurry? I will definitely need you."
Shen Ning asked: "Does Brother-in-law Lin have any contact with the Censorate?"
"Yes, I have!"
Jia Min nodded quickly, "You want me to ask them to help impeach Suo Jin and the others?"
"yes!"
Shen Ning nodded, "See if you can find someone with the strongest character, and let him die admonishing and kill all the Jin people."
What? Jia Min's heartbeat quickened.
"Only when they feel their lives are in danger will they put aside their pride and think about how to save their lives."
People like Suo Jin are used to being superior.
Although they suffered a series of blows after entering Beijing, it was far from the point where they would voluntarily surrender.
Let them compete for the position of Dazhao first, and then find a way to send more troops there.
By then, killing a few troublemakers would be enough to resolve a local war. Shen Ning felt that the emperor would like it.
Now Rakshasa talent is the top priority.
If she could recapture Outer Manchuria and then take back the whole of Mongolia, her trip to the Red Mansion would be worthwhile.
At this point in life, there should be no regrets.
"Min'er, that piece of land originally belonged to us."
Shen Ning's voice was extremely solemn, "If we recapture the Jin people, the Tatars won't be able to escape."
They are also being beaten by the Rakshasas.
"Being able to get these places at the lowest cost... is better than anything else."
"...Okay, I'll go find someone."
Jia Min nodded, "Sister-in-law, you should also bring more people with you to prevent those people from doing anything irrational."
It would be bad if her sister-in-law was hurt.
"Don't worry!"
Shen Ning smiled, “Since I dare to go, I’m sure they won’t dare to touch me.”
