Coming out of Xiyuan, Jia Baoyu was in a good mood, although he didn't say a few words to the Emperor Taishang to deepen his feelings, but he had an extra surprise.

Well, I got the love of the Queen Mother, and in the middle and upper classes of Beijing in the future, I will be even more mixed. Taking a step back, even if the Emperor suddenly burps one day, the Queen Mother can be regarded as a protective shield. The main reason is that he thinks that women live longer than men, and the Queen Mother is younger than the Emperor Taishang, so it is estimated that she will live longer than the Emperor. After thinking about it, I think it's better for the emperor to live longer, after all, the shield of the queen mother is far less thick than the emperor......

rode along the Imperial City Avenue into the West City, but saw soldiers and horses galloping on the road, and many brocade soldiers in silver armor were shuttling back and forth, as if they were chasing someone.

Jia Baoyu grabbed one of the lieutenants and asked what had happened.

The captain knew Jia Baoyu, and after saluting, he solemnly replied: "The Jinyi army found out that a group of strongmen were hiding in the Huguo Temple, and today the commander led a thousand soldiers and horses to encircle and suppress the Huguo Temple, and exterminated more than 200 strongmen, but there are still a few people who escaped in disguise, and now the Jinyi army is arresting ...... in the whole city."

Jia Baoyu was stunned, and subconsciously said: "Isn't Huguo Temple the temple where the Huguo Zen Master is located?" ”

Zhu Lan is a popular person around Emperor Jingtai, and the Jinyi Army dares to encircle and suppress Huguo Temple?

When the captain heard the word Zen Master Protector, his eyes were obviously afraid, but he still pretended to be calm and said: "The commander said that this is the holy decree of Emperor Fengtai, and also said that the tragedy of Qian Shilang's family being destroyed was done by this group of strongmen. ”

Jia Baoyu's heart sank, although he knew that the existence of the Emperor Taishang was a kind of suppression for Emperor Jingtai, but why was the Emperor so obvious this time? If you really don't want Emperor Jingtai to be the emperor, you just don't pass on the throne to him at the beginning.

If everyone in the world knows that Qian Zhao was destroyed by Emperor Jingtai, then Emperor Jingtai can still sit on this throne? In the future, there will inevitably be countless "heroes and heroes" who will use this as an excuse to crusade against the unscrupulous tyrant......

Judging from the previous situation, the Emperor Taishang was raised in Xiyuan, and all the government affairs of the court were handed over to Emperor Jingtai, that is normal, why in recent years, Emperor Taishang has frequently targeted Emperor Jingtai?

The first two times it was okay to say because the eldest prince was too bastard, this time ......

Jia Baoyu looked back at the imperial palace, didn't think about it, and set off to return home.

……

In Daming Palace, Jing Tai looked at the commander of the brocade army wearing the color of the general's uniform below: "Du Mingyi, you are so bold!" ”

"The minister is guilty, please make it clear to Your Majesty."

Du Mingyi knelt on the ground to plead guilty, and his voice was like a bell, but in fact, he didn't see too much panic.

"Who gave you the courage to hide from me, surround the Huguo Temple without permission, and even break into the temple to kill people?"

Du Mingyi said solemnly: "Back to Your Majesty, the minister's extermination of the thieves in the Huguo Temple this time was not a private action, but an order from the Emperor Taishang to exterminate the thieves of the country. The minister is guilty, please forgive your majesty! ”

Du Mingyi's five bodies fell to the ground, and he didn't see Emperor Jingtai speak for a long time, and he didn't dare to get up, so he knelt like this, and after a long time, he heard Emperor Jingtai say quietly: "Lord Du is thoughtful, very good, I remember you." ”

Du Mingyi's heart was cold, but he only said: "It is the duty of a minister to be loyal to the country." ”

Emperor Jingtai sneered, and no longer said anything else, but asked: "I don't know what crime the monks of Huguo Temple have committed, and the Emperor Taishang wants to use the Jinyi Army to exterminate it?" ”

Du Mingyi said: "Your Majesty doesn't know, most of the monks in Huguo Temple are not real monks, they control the entire Buddhist temple, kill people and set fires, rape and loot, I don't know how many things that people are angry about." Fortunately, he was discovered by the Emperor Taishang and ordered his ministers to lead troops to exterminate him. ”

"There's proof."

"After the minister broke through the Huguo Temple today, in the meditation room in the backyard, he found a large number of women they had looted from all over the world, many of whom had been tortured and were not human......"

Emperor Jingtai interrupted: "What I ask is, can there be other crimes, for example, Qian Zhao died in the fire, can it be related to this group of people?" ”

Du Mingyi looked up at Emperor Jingtai with a gloomy face, shook his head and said: "This is not known yet, but no matter how bold this group of thieves is, they will not dare to slaughter the second-grade members of the imperial court......

"Hmph, in that case, why did I hear that the captain under Master Du said conclusively that Qian Zhao's family was destroyed by this group?"

Du Mingyi immediately kowtowed: "Weichen's rule is not strict, and he will definitely be strictly investigated after he goes back, but if anyone dares to spread rumors in the army, he will be severely punished!" ”

"Huh."

Emperor Jingtai smiled, waved his dragon robe, and said: "Zen Master Zhulan lives in the deep palace all the year round to preach the scriptures for me, and rarely returns to the temple, so that I don't know that such a crime occurred in the temple.

But even so, Zhu Lan will not escape the suspicion of harboring, and I will not protect him.

Order: Remove the name of Zhu Lan Protector Zen Master, order the Jinyi Army to arrest him for interrogation, and if he cannot prove his innocence, he will be punished by national law. ”

"Your Majesty Shengming!"

As soon as Du Mingyi left, the angry look on Emperor Jingtai's face could no longer be hidden, and he swept the cups and saucers on the dragon case to the ground, and said angrily: "Why, why are you so forced!" ”

In the Heart Cultivation Palace, the eunuchs and palace maids in one place were so frightened that they only dared to crawl on the ground and tremble......

……

Jia Baoyu went to the Taishi's Mansion halfway, took the scriptures from the Taishi, and then went home.

It's past noon, but unfortunately Rongguo Mansion hasn't had lunch yet.

It turned out that Jia's mother ordered Wang Xifeng to prepare a luncheon early in the morning, to celebrate Jia Baoyu briefly. As for why it was a simple celebration, or because of the affairs of Dongfu.

The Jia family is now in mourning, although Jia's mother doesn't care much about the people over there, it is not good to set up a celebration banquet at this time, so she prepared a few tables in the dining room of Rongqing Hall and quietly congratulated Jia Baoyu, which is not an exaggeration.

It's just that Jia Baoyu went to Xiyuan to thank him and never returned, so Jia Mu asked everyone to wait, and that's it, and no one showed any dissatisfaction.

At one point, Wang Xifeng asked, "Do you want to call Sister-in-law Zhen over?" ”

Mother Jia glanced at her, and in Wang Xifeng's awakened look, Mother Jia suddenly asked, "Where is Miss Lin, why hasn't she come out yet?" ”

Li Kun immediately replied: "She is not in good health, and she is afraid of ruining the old lady's interest, so let me confess to the old lady and Baoyu on her behalf." ”

When Jia Mu heard this, her face was unhappy, and then she sighed.

She knew that Daiyu still remembered what happened last time.

Mother Jia is also a person from that age, how can she not know the thoughts of Daiyu and others?

Even if she feels sorry for Daiyu again, she can't help but feel that Daiyu is too ignorant at this time.

I didn't say anything more.

It's just that Mrs. Wang and the others are used to observing words and feelings, and they all know that Mother Jia is unhappy in her heart, and she doesn't dare to touch her head.

It was easy to wait for a long time, and when Jia Baoyu came back, the situation improved instantly.

Mother Jia immediately smiled and asked Wang Xifeng to put on the feast, and then asked Aunt Xue and others to sit down......

Taking advantage of the gap between serving the food, Sanchun and other sisters pestered Jia Baoyu to ask him what he had seen and heard about Xiyuan, why he had delayed it for so long.

Jia Baoyu smiled back, and also found that Daiyu was not there, so he asked Tanchun.

Tanchun told Daiyu about her illness. Jia Baoyu looked at her a little embarrassed, probably guessed something, and stopped talking. When the wine and food were served, Jia's mother was beckoning everyone to raise their glasses, and when she was elated, Jia Baoyu suddenly got up, knelt down at Jia's mother under everyone's gaze, and said, "Ancestor, my grandson has something to ask for!" ”
