The holy decree of restoring Jia Baoyu's edict promulgated by the Emperor Taishang after he woke up that day was to be transmitted to the whole country, and at least to the local prefectures and counties.

To "proclaim the world" is to proclaim the subjects of the world.

However, because of the turmoil at that time, the capital was stolen by the second prince, so it was not spread out at the first time.

However, after Jia Baoyu's soldiers besieged the capital and cut off the connection between the capital and the outside world, Tiewangshan also quickly formed a simple imperial court and began to operate.

This is also the reason why during that period of time, the surrounding area of Gyeonggi and even the world were not completely dominated by the "pseudo-decrees" of Du Anji and others.

Thanks to Daxuan's complete post station system, even if the imperial decree was to reach the westernmost provinces, it would only take ten days.

In addition to the initial need to correct the decrees issued by Du Anjiao and others and appease the local officers and soldiers not to move, the first decree conveyed by the provisional imperial court to the world was to notify Emperor Jingtai of his death, and to order the local governments and ordinary people to serve the time limit of national mourning.

The second is about Jia Baoyu's holy decree of "recognizing ancestors and returning to their ancestors".

Of course, there are other "assassinations" and "rebellions" that can only be disseminated through gossip.

Nanjing City, the Zhen family of the Jiangnan Wang family.

The Zhen family, as an important procurement of the Ministry of Internal Affairs in the south and a supplier of high-class palace silk fabrics such as Suzhou embroidery, has excellent access to information.

They heard the news of the accident in Beijing very early, and they also sent people to inquire with all their might, but they were always in the fog and couldn't see the truth clearly.

It wasn't until Emperor Jingtai died that they could really guess some truths.

This was surprising enough, but it was the content of the proclamation that followed that really surprised them.

Is the son-in-law of Prince Yizhong still alive? He was also named the prince of Jing by the Emperor Taishang?

If they remember correctly, the original eldest lady of their family is the official princess of the old prince Yizhong, right?

Isn't the old prince's sister-in-law the son of the eldest lady of their family, and the nephew of the master?

Although I think it's incredible, but the holy decree has come down, there must be no mistake, for a while, the Zhen family was overjoyed, looking forward to seeing the appearance of this "nephew......

After all, if the family can have the bloodline of the nobles of the heavens, it is a first-class and glorious thing.

So when the news spread throughout the Zhen family, most of the people inside and outside the clan were happy, which was a great joy.

Only the old lady of the Zhen family in the courtyard of the deep mansion seemed to be too shocked when she heard the news, and she didn't withstand the good news all of a sudden, and fainted......

And according to the good deeds, the old lady of the Zhen family didn't seem to be happy when she heard the news, and she didn't faint in surprise, but in an unbelievable reaction, she asked her family to copy the Tongwen and see it for herself, and then she was "scared and fainted".

It is said that before he fainted, he muttered words such as "impossible" and "fake", which was unpredictable.

However, such remarks were quickly ridiculed by others as rumors, the old lady knew that her own grandson was still alive, not only alive but also crowned king, where is there any reason to be unhappy? These rumors are really false and unrealistic, and they are not credible at all.

"Lord Zhen......"

As soon as Zhen Yingjia came out of the Textile Bureau, he saw two officials from Nanjing City walking towards him.

The two of them smiled at him and said, "Congratulations to Lord Zhen, congratulations to Lord Zhen!" Lord Zhen's nephew was not only found by the Emperor Taishang, but also had to be crowned King Jing, which is really gratifying, gratifying. ”

The two of them looked at him, and the smile was very real.

Zhen Yingjia also greeted him with a smile, and bowed his hand and said: "The two adults are polite, they are both merciful and loving...... the emperor."

The two of them looked at each other, and they both gave their subordinates a look, and then they each brought up a box of bundled good gifts.

"Lord Zhen's family has this happy event, we have nothing to congratulate, just use this mere thing to talk about our hearts."

Zhen Yingjia hurriedly excused himself, but the two of them were waiting for him here, so naturally they couldn't be pushed.

"Three days later is the day of the big holiday, a few of our old colleagues will meet together, if Lord Zhen is free at that time, the lower officials and others will wait for Lord Zhen to come in Yipinju......"

After giving gifts, take the opportunity to invite each other to meet, and the friendship will be concluded, and it will be cheaper to ask for it in the future.

Zhen Yingjia couldn't shirk it, so he could only let his entourage accept the congratulatory gift and express his gratitude.

But for the other party's invitation, he said: "I was warmly invited by you, but it's just ...... Although we are far away from Kyoto, after all, it is a time of national mourning, and it will be inappropriate for us to gather at this time to feast and drink......"

As soon as these words came out, the two of them immediately sneered: "Uh~ Lord Zhen is reasonable, but the subordinates and others are not considerate......"

Having said that, I can't help but feel that Zhen Yingjia is too pedantic and can't handle things.

But I heard Zhen Yingjia say again: "Recently, my eldest nephew found a painting from other places, suspected to be written by a famous family in the previous dynasty. ”

The two were overjoyed, and immediately promised that they would come as scheduled.

Zhen Yingjia's heart is also happy, no one doesn't like the feeling of being flattered.

However, in the past two days, there have been many foreigners and officials who have "congratulated" him, and he also intends to exchange courtesies, so he used the reason of painting to invite them to his home to talk about it, so that he can make good friends and not offend the national funeral, and the two sides are cheap.

After saying goodbye to the two, Zhen Yingjia took a sedan chair home, and as soon as he arrived at the door, the housekeeper came up to him and said, "Master, the old lady is waiting for you inside, go in quickly." ”

Zhen Yingjia got out of the sedan chair, flicked his sleeves first, and asked, "How is the old lady doing today?" ”

"The old lady woke up in the morning, and the lady served with the decoction, and now I think it's much better......"

Zhen Yingjia nodded, changed into clothes in his own room first, and asked about Mrs. Zhen's situation by the way, and then straightened her clothes and went to Molan Garden.

The Mo Lan Court where Mrs. Zhen lives is the most spacious and elegant place in the Zhen Mansion.

But Zhen Yingjia has gone all the way, but he has found a difference today.

In the past, the old lady's courtyard was the most lively, but now it is extraordinarily quiet.

In many places, only some elderly women are guarding, and the little maids who used to be red and willow green, shuttling back and forth, are gone.

When I came to the old lady's upper room, I turned several doors before entering the old lady's bedroom.

The bizarre thing is that except for his wife-in-law Zou, there is only the "son" Baoyu who was pulled and comforted by the old lady, and there is no one else.

"Old Lady ......"

Seeing the difference in the situation, Zhen Yingjia called out cautiously.

Mrs. Zhen was lying on the sickbed, her face was haggard, and when she saw her coming, she let go of the hand of the baby child and grandchild she was holding, and asked him to go back to his mother, and then reluctantly beckoned Zhen Yingjia to sit down, but she was silent.

"My mother fell ill last night, and my son was really worried, so I dared to ask my mother if she was safe now?"

Zhen Yingjia asked tentatively.

Old Mrs. Zhen shook her head and said, "There are only a handful of old bones left and right, what can be a big deal......

As he spoke, there was silence again.

Zhen Yingjia was worried in her heart, suspecting that she had done something wrong, which made the old lady unhappy, so she got up and said, "Mother is in a hurry to call her son here, but what important things do you order?" The mother just said that the son must respect ......"

Old Mrs. Zhen continued to shake her head, glanced at him, and then looked at her good grandson who was already nestled in his mother's arms, playing with the ribbon around his mother's waist stupidly, and pity flashed in her eyes.

After all, she knew that Zhen Yingjia and the others didn't know what they meant, so after a long sigh, she said: "Calling you over today, there is naturally a big thing to tell you, both of you have paid attention, this matter, except for you, must not let the fourth person know......"

Zhen Yingjia and his wife knew the importance of the matter as soon as they heard it, and at the same time, Zhen Yingjia also understood the reason for such tension in the old lady's courtyard.

After opening his mouth to answer the old lady's words, he listened to her say: "Do you know why your father and I have not told you Baoyu's true life experience? ”

When Zhen Yingjia and Zou heard this, their spirits were suddenly shocked.

Is the old lady finally willing to tell this secret?

However, the two of them still behaved normally, Zhen Yingjia said: "My father and the old lady don't tell us, so naturally there is a reason." However, in the past ten years, we have long regarded Baoyu as our own son, and time has passed, if the old lady feels that she can tell us the truth, we naturally want to know......"

More than ten years ago, his father suddenly asked his daughter-in-law to have a false pregnancy, and then he really brought out a well-behaved and lovely child and let them raise him as his own son.

Although they were puzzled, they probably figured out later, Xu was after his father's death, for some reason why people could not know about his existence, so it was so.

Naturally, they couldn't really love the child too much before, but seeing that the old man and the old lady really loved the child, and later their eldest son unfortunately died early, and the child was really lovely, they really regarded him as their own flesh and blood.

It's just that God doesn't fulfill people's wishes, how can a son who is so well-behaved suddenly become stupid?

Mrs. Zhen didn't need to look closely to know their thoughts, she sighed: "Now that the matter is now, I really can't hide it from you anymore, otherwise, not only will the dead who have passed away be unable to rest in peace, but I am afraid that in this world, this big 'oolong case' will never have a chance to be corrected." ”

Old Mrs. Zhen looked at her son and daughter-in-law who had pointed her ears, and said word by word: "Actually, Baoyu's real life experience is none other than the only son of your sister who went early, the seventh prince of His Royal Highness Prince Yizhong......"

Before Mrs. Zhen finished speaking, Zhen Yingjia and Zou raised their heads in amazement, opened their mouths, and looked at her without any manners, as if they were asking her with their eyes, aren't you joking?

The sister was indeed beautiful back then, the prince and princess, and she was only one step away from the queen of the world, and she almost pushed their Zhen family to the glory throne of the descendants.

It's a pity that there is no such blessing after all.

My sister-in-law was defeated and killed, and my sister's family was also tragically killed.

But, old lady, no matter how much you miss your daughter, you can't talk nonsense?

How could Baoyu be her son?

Let's not mention that it has long been determined in the imperial palace that there is no survivor in the palace back then, that is, when we saw Baoyu, almost a year has passed since the day of my sister's death, and the time is ......

Hey~!

Zhen Yingjia suddenly reacted, although they had already left the capital when they saw Baoyu, and a considerable number of days had passed since the big case in the palace, but when they saw Baoyu, the kid looked almost a year old, so wouldn't it be just right......

Zhen Yingjia, who figured this out, looked at Mrs. Zhen with wide eyes.

Old Lady Zhen looked reminiscing, and said: "The situation in Beijing was complicated and dangerous back then, and your sister-in-law actually handed him over to your father for secret adoption not long after giving birth to the child, so the one you went to see in the palace was not your little nephew at all......

Afterward...... You probably know what happened later, it didn't take long for the palace to really have an accident, your sister-in-law died, and then your sister also had an accident, your father saw the danger of the situation, and was worried that your nephew's identity would be in danger if it was exposed, so we decided that our family would retreat to Nanjing to avoid disaster.

But after all, your nephew is the grandson of the prince and the grandson of the heavenly family, and it is a great sin to take him away without permission. ”

Mrs. Zhen was weak, and when she said these words in one breath, she gasped a little and had to stop.

Zhen Yingjia hadn't spoken yet, but Zou suddenly said, "No...... No, what the daughter-in-law means is that if what the old lady said is true, then what is the news that came from outside the previous child? ”

Zhen Yingjia was stunned for a moment, and then reacted.

Yes, didn't there be news in Beijing that the Emperor Taishang had found the son-in-law of the prince of Yizhong?

If the old lady hadn't lied, then what was going on?

Could it be that they all misunderstood, and the son of the righteous and loyal prince mentioned in the holy decree was someone else, not the son of his sister?

It's not right, it seems that it is clearly said that it is the seventh prince......

Old Lady Zhen looked at them and sighed: "You have also thought of it, alas, yes, what I can tell you is that I did not lie to you, and as for what was said in the holy decree, I don't know why......

Baoyu is obviously here, but someone has already taken his place to 'recognize his ancestors and return to his ancestors', I am afraid that if I don't tell you again, this secret will only follow me into the coffin board, and Baoyu's life experience will be taken up by others forever. ”

Zhen Yingjia and Zou were dumbfounded, even if they lived for more than 40 years, they couldn't imagine that they would encounter such a bizarre and complicated thing, how could their wisdom be understood?

Zhen Yingjia invariably looked at Baoyu hiding under the Zou family, looking at him stupid and dumbfounded, he really didn't know what to say.

After a long time, Zhen Yingjia lowered his voice and asked softly, "Then, I don't know what the old lady means?" ”

Old Mrs. Zhen was also silent for a moment, and finally said: "What can I mean, I am a person buried in the neck of the loess, Baoyu is like this again, pity my Baoyu ......"

Mrs. Zhen couldn't help crying as she spoke, which attracted Zhen Yingjia and his wife to comfort him repeatedly.

"It's just, no matter what, my good Baoyu, your good son who has been raised for more than ten years, is also your own nephew, his identity can't be taken by others so unclear! I don't care what kind of interests they have, I just want you to figure out the ins and outs of this matter no matter what......

You can't let your sister and nephew suffer such an unworthy humiliation! ”

"However, this matter is very important, and if you are not careful, maybe even our family will be in danger, so when you act, you must also be extra careful, and you must not expose Baoyu until you have to......

He is already like this, you must not leave him in danger again, but no, as your father thought, just keep him safe and secure for the rest of his life. ”

Mrs. Zhen cried when she said it, and Zou was also said to be sad and cried.

Zhen Yingjia calmed down and pondered.

The old lady's words contradicted herself. I don't want Baoyu to be replaced, and I don't want Baoyu to be in danger, how should I deal with it......

He couldn't help but look at his son, or nephew, again, and felt a pang of regret in his heart.

If he had known the truth earlier, or if Baoyu was a mentally sound person now, he would definitely be secretly happy in his heart.

A nephew who appeared out of thin air and had no affection for the prince is obviously not as good as the nephew of the prince who he raised since childhood......

It's a pity that now there is nothing to say.

That's it, it's up to the old lady, it just so happens that he also wants to know what happened back then, and whether the "nephew" who has been named King Jing is his own nephew.
