Chapter 491: Gong Xin
Jia Qiang returned from Changfu and didn't stop when she passed by Dongfu, because she saw Lin Zhixiao waiting there again......
He went straight to the Rong Mansion and went to the Rong Qing Hall.
Sure enough, the whole family was there.
Seeing Li Kun waiting in the hall to hug the building, Jia Qiang felt a little weak in her heart, after all, she had just given her Lao Tzu a big mouth, but this was to save the old man.
When Jia Qiang saw Li Kun seeing him coming, she excitedly sent a voice inside: "Brother Qiang is back!" ”
Jia Qiang complained: "Why is the eldest aunt waiting here? Although it is spring, the night is still a little cold. ”
Li Kun smiled and said: "It's amazing, the old lady is urging a cup of tea, and I am about to run out before I sit down, so I just wait here." No, it's finally time for someone? ”
Li Kun is not a stunning beauty like Daiyu, Baochai or Sister Feng, let alone a woman like Keqing who is seductive and charming to the bone.
Although she was born a beauty, her strict tutoring seemed to make her forget her appearance and become a woman who only remembered her duty.
Jia Zhu was a husband and a child at the time, serving her aunt. After Jia Zhu died, all his hopes fell on Jia Lan, and he wanted nothing else, like a tree.
It's just that Jia Qiang feels that she is not really a pure-hearted person.
At least in terms of money, her desire for gold and silver is no less than that of Sister Feng.
And the reason why Sister Feng looks down on her is that although Sister Feng is also greedy, she is generous in chewing and using it.
Li Kun attaches great importance to silver, but he is very stingy in spending.
After Jia Qiang looked at her, she felt a little interesting, but after thinking about it, she decided to hide the fact that Li Shouzhong was beaten.
Li Kun was a little flustered by Jia Qiang's look, touched his face and asked, "Brother Qiang, but what's wrong?" ”
Jia Qiang sighed and said, "Just now, I saw Li Sacrifice Wine." ”
Hearing this, Li Kun was stunned at first, and then his face changed greatly, and he said in a panic: "Brother Qiang, my father is ...... He ......"
Jia Qiang shook her head and said, "Auntie, don't worry......" Before she finished speaking, she saw the mandarin duck pick up the new red felt curtain and come out, and said with a smile: "Why don't you go in yet?" The old lady is coming out. ”
When Jia Qiang heard this, Fang and the restless Li Kun entered.
The mandarin duck followed behind Jia Qiang and whispered: "The old lady is tired today, good Hou Ye, don't make her angry today, okay?" ”
Jia Qiang paused when she heard this, looked back at the mandarin duck, and saw that under the lantern, the mandarin duck had a goose egg face, a high nose with boron combs, a few small freckles on both cheeks, and a pair of big eyes that were shy but brave.
Jia Qiang leaned back in a threatening manner.
However, the mandarin duck was not afraid, although his eyes shrank, he followed closely, biting his plump lower lip, but instead straightened forward to show that he was not afraid.
It's just that Jia Qiang is sure that she went to wrap her breasts......
Bending the corners of his mouth and smiling at the mandarin duck, Jia Qiangfang turned around and walked inside.
The mandarin duck wrinkled his nose at his back, pursed his lips lightly, and Fang followed in, and returned to stand behind Jia's mother.
"Brother Qiang, what do you say, how do you say it?"
"Brother Qiang, can you get the fold signed by the master back?"
As soon as Jia Mu saw Jia Qiang, she stood up excitedly and asked one after another, her face full of worry.
Jia Qiang nodded and said, "It's already burned...... Old lady, if you want me to say that you should leave these things alone in the future, it is useless to worry and be afraid in vain, it is useless, it will not hurt your mind and bones. ”
When Jia Mu heard this, tears fell, and she said, "If you can worry a little bit, why should I be like this?" Although you understand the reason, you can toss the most! Sooner or later, sooner or later, let your Jia family members be angry to death, and I will also go to see Grandpa Guo. ”
Jia Qiang didn't know what to say, but Mrs. Wang, who was waiting beside Jia's mother, couldn't wait any longer, and asked, "Brother Qiang, what's going on?" Is it okay, sir? ”
It is related to the fate of Jia Zheng and even the entire Rong Mansion, so she can't help but worry.
Jia Mu couldn't care about the grievances, and hurriedly asked, "Yes, yes, what's the situation?" ”
Jia Qiang said expressionlessly: "Chang Song, Langzhong of the Ministry of Works, was instigated by Wei Ming, the right attendant of the Ministry of Works, and came to induce the second master to sign his name, in order to let the world see that the fathers of the concubines around the emperor are all against the emperor, so isn't the emperor becoming more and more a lonely man who betrays his relatives and leaves?" Fu Xian was sent by Prince Zhongshun to pit the second master, Prince Zhongshun knew that this guy would be defeated, and he happened to know that Fu Xian secretly hated him because he failed to seek office, so he promised him an official position, as long as he could get the Jia family involved in this big case.
On these two sides, although the original intentions are different, they both have the idea of leaving the Jia family dead without a place to be buried. They also asked the master to write his name in the first place on the fold of the joint book, and the second master actually wrote it, but they didn't sign it themselves. By the way, there is also a signature, which is the father of the eldest aunt, and hundreds of prisoners of the Guozijian! ”
"Huh?"
Now, even Mother Jia and Mrs. Wang know how terrible things are.
Li Kun was even more bluffed to cover his mouth with a plain embroidered handkerchief, crying, and his eyes were full of fear.
Jia Qiang waved her hand and said: "Chang Song and Fu Yan have been taken down by me and put in prison, and they have all written confessions and signed for crimes. In addition, although Li Xianjiu was a little obsessed, for the sake of the eldest aunt, I didn't take him to prison, but just asked people to send him home, look at him, and don't let him do stupid things again. If it was really sent to the palace with hundreds of names of the prisoners of the country, the Li family would inevitably be exiled. Even if you lose your life, you are also idle. For now, though, it's fine. ”
"Thank goodness!"
"Thank goodness!"
Mother Jia, Mrs. Wang, and Li Kun recited the Buddha's name.
Jia Qiang waved her hand and said: "Today's matter is like this for the time being, but on the second master's side, I can't make sense, it depends on what you do with the old lady and wife." This time, I took a great risk and attacked two civil officials, and Ming'er didn't know how to be blamed. The patriarch should fulfill his responsibilities, and I ask myself if I owe anything to them. However, there will never be a next time, and I will not ruin my future by wiping the butts of stupid people. ”
After saying that, after Jia Qiang and Jia's mother saluted, she flicked the sleeves of her robe and turned to leave.
After Jia Qiang left, Jia Motherly trembled and said, "That evil obstacle, if you dare to die, you will strangle me first!" Just let him kneel in the ancestral hall, and Ming'er is not allowed to go anywhere! Let's figure it out, let's get up again! A lot of age...... Evil obstacles! ”
……
At the beginning of the next day, there was still a long time before dawn, and Jia Qiang got up from the empty bedroom.
After washing, he didn't go to the kitchen, he went directly to the front yard and had breakfast with Shang Zhuo and other guards.
Sharing joys and sorrows, in the previous life, most people have been regarded as a show, not only moved, but also ridiculed, and in their hearts to throw a stinky sock at each other......
But at the moment, a Hou Ye can eat with a group of relatives and soldiers without any scruples, and the feeling of being touched and respected as a family member is truly integrated into the bottom of his heart.
It can be regarded as an unintentional move......
After eating, the group went straight to the Yamen of the Terracotta Division in Dongcheng.
"The emperor's decree is that the soldiers and horses of Zhundongcheng will expand the army to 2,000, because of the special period, the military expenses do not have to go through the military department, and they can be directly received from the household department."
"Manpower has been turned from a helper, and good performance on weekdays is preferred."
"In addition, in the entire Shenjing City now, the only one who can mobilize soldiers and horses is the Soldiers and Horses Division."
"Didn't there be a few big tigers sitting on the ground before, and there were a few palaces and old ministers of Jingchu standing behind them, so they didn't move because they were afraid of alarming the emperor?"
"This time, it's all clear! The proceeds were used to expand the manpower. Two thousand regular troops, according to the previous proportion, at least 10,000 helpers. We can't afford to raise so many people, but we still have to have eight thousand! ”
Although Emperor Long An allowed him, if he could get more silver, he could expand the soldiers and horses of the other four cities together.
But Jia Qiang is not a fool, he even knows how to give up the position of the commander of the infantry army, how can he get tens of thousands of troops in Shenjing City?
Expanding the Dongcheng Terracotta Division to 10,000 people is exactly a red line.
Less is not enough, more taboos.
Gao Long was originally born in the army, and at first he didn't look down on a scumbag place like the Yamen of the Soldiers and Horses, and those tattered soldiers were also called soldiers?
But I didn't expect such earth-shaking changes to occur in just a few months.
Now, he wants to take charge of the army of 10,000 people on behalf of Jia Qiang!
Although these 10,000 people scattered all over the capital, the splash could not float a few, but it was already a hundred times stronger than when he was in the border army.
Gao Long looked at Jia Qiang and smiled: "It's really different now." ”
After Jia Qiang smiled, she reminded: "Don't be careless at all, military discipline must become stricter!" ”
looked at some of the soldiers around him, especially the dozens of people who survived together under the Liwei battalion, and said: "Other barracks, even the 12th regiment battalion and the border army battalion, have never been paid full salaries, and you know this in your own hearts. But the Soldiers and Horses Division Yamen has never deducted a penny of the brothers' hard-earned money. I, Jia Qiang, will never drink the blood of my brethren! But if I did, you have to be worthy of me. Now there are people all over the court who are staring at me, and if the military discipline is not strict and mistakes are made, they will impeach me and want my life! I won't say much about where to go, you can do it yourself. I just want to say one thing, if you really violate military discipline and are subject to military law, don't blame me for not talking about brotherhood. ”
Most of the soldiers around are from the generation of dog slaughterers, and those who can get close to Jia Qiang's surroundings, except for those old brothers, are basically from Taiping Street.
At this moment, when I heard Jia Qiang's words, I couldn't take out my heart one by one!
After getting down to business, Jia Qiang blew the cowhide with them for a while, talked a few jokes, and finally called a few soldiers with difficulties and patients at home to talk to the side, found a famous doctor for them, and solved their worries, but told them not to make a noise......
It wasn't until Mao Zheng that Jia Qiang said goodbye to Ding Yong, who was squeezing more and more soldiers into the yamen to blow water, and he was going to enter the palace to cry.
The rest of the people are also to be on their own duty.
Gao Long sent Jia Qiang out of the gate of the yamen, looked at the reluctant expressions of the soldiers around him, and said with a smile: "Master Hou is naturally suitable for living in the barracks!" ”
Jia Qiang smiled and said, "There will be more in the future." ”
After that, turn over and get on the horse, and under the escort of a group of relatives, go to the imperial city to fight the horse!
……
Daming Palace, the Palace of Nourishing the Heart.
The candlelit hall is bright, outside the hall of the immortal building Buddha hall, the copper bell on the Amitayus pagoda blows with the morning breeze, echoes in the hall, like a burst of Sanskrit sound.
However, even this Buddha and Brahma voice could not calm the anger in Emperor Long'an's heart at this moment, his face was black and terrifying, and the palace people in the Heart Cultivation Hall did not even dare to breathe, but they kept thanking God in their hearts, because Empress Yin was here.
Empress Yin looked at Emperor Long An's annoyance like this, sighed and said with relief: "Your Majesty, don't be annoyed, it's important to take care of the dragon's body." On the 27th day of the national mourning, this is just the beginning. As for Jiuhua Palace...... The old lady in the world, how much does it matter to love her younger son? You still want to open some. ”
Jia Qiang tossed for half a night last night, but the palace was even more unclean than the outside.
After hearing that Li Han, the king of Yiping County, was sent to guard Jingling, the Empress Dowager Tian, who endured a day of grievances and anger, finally broke out completely in the Shouxuan Palace.
I want to go to cry in front of the Taishang Huangzi Palace......
Emperor Long An knelt down on her and begged her to take care of her body, and she in turn wanted to kowtow to Emperor Long An.
This is to force the eldest son of Emperor Long An to death!!
Afterwards, the palace people of the entire Jiuhua Palace were purged from top to bottom, and they were all sent to Jingling to guard the imperial mausoleum at the expense of martyrdom, and several henchmen of the queen mother, Zhaorong and Cai concubines.
In the end, the situation was brought under control.
It's just that between mother and son, it has become an enmity.
Empress Dowager Tian really thought in her heart that the death of Emperor Taishang was inseparable from Emperor Long'an.
This old lady has been in the palace all her life, and she has seen too many intrigues and bloody betrayals, and she refuses to believe that the emperor died suddenly because he mixed up the two medicines.
With this prejudice, I heard that the youngest son was sent to the imperial mausoleum to guard the mausoleum because he was injustice to the emperor, which is equivalent to being confined.
For Emperor Long An's mother-son relationship, which was not very deep, it became more and more exhausted.
Right now, although the Empress Dowager Tian was compensated by Empress Yin in every possible way, and she slept with calming medicine, how could the Queen Mother be missing at the national funeral ceremony?
Worrying that the Queen Mother will not come forward is a distress, and worrying that she will say something shocking at the national funeral ceremony is another and greater distress.
If there is anyone else in the world who can pose a serious threat to Emperor Long An, the supreme person in the world, then there is only this empress dowager of the dynasty.
However, at the moment of filial piety, Emperor Long An really doesn't have any good ways.
Just when he had a headache, a yellow door attendant came in quietly like a cat, and said, "Long live the lord, Ninghou Jia Qiang has entered the palace." ”
When Emperor Long An heard this, he paused with his hand pinching his eyebrows, and after saying "Xuan", he raised his head and said to Queen Yin: "Yesterday, this kid did another big thing, but it's a good thing." ”
When Empress Yin heard this, a bright color flashed in her slender phoenix eyes on Tianxiangguo's face, and she smiled slightly: "Yesterday, thanks to Jia Qiang's voice, otherwise Wu'er would have been bullied and ruthless." Looking back, the concubine should treat him well. ”
