"Elder Cui Ge, you can go back first, Your Majesty won't see you."

Daming Palace, outside the Linjing Gate, Dai Quan walked out helplessly and said to Cui Wenlong, who looked anxious.

Cui Wenlong is very worried now, worried about the state of Emperor Zhengqing. He wanted to go in and admonish, but he had been waiting for most of the hour, and Emperor Zhengqing still didn't want to see him.

"Manager Dai, are you okay looking at Your Majesty's complexion?"

Dai Quan shook his head with a wry smile and said, "Elder Cui Ge, you just go back, why bother touching your brows at this time?" ”

Everyone knows that the current Emperor Zhengqing must be in a very, very bad mood, haven't you seen that even Shui Rong, Zhao Qian and others have disappeared, but Cui Wenlong is not afraid of angering Long Yan at all, and insists on coming to see him.

Seeing that it was really impossible, Cui Wenlong had no choice but to say: "I still have to worry about the chief manager, take care of Your Majesty, and I'll leave first." ”

"Cui Ge walks slowly."

Alas, Cui Wenlong sighed lightly and turned to leave.

……

On the way back, Jia Qing parted ways with Jia Zheng and went to Fangfu.

"Second master, my lord is invited."

Fang Shou seemed to have expected that Jia Qing would come to him, and when he got off the horse, the housekeeper of the Fang Mansion immediately stepped forward and led Jia Qing to Fang Shou's study.

"I've seen the master!"

"Sit down."

"Yes."

So Jia Qing sat down on the chair next to him.

"But doubts?" Fang Shou went straight to the point.

Jia Qing nodded, in front of Fang Shou, he didn't have to pretend to be deep, if there was anything he didn't understand, he would always speak out and ask for advice.

"The Emperor's move has greatly ruined His Majesty's prestige, and it is very unfavorable for His Majesty to control the dynasty in the future, why is the Emperor like this?"

Fang Shou deliberately took the opportunity to teach Jia Qing, so he asked rhetorically, "You really don't know the reason?" ”

Jia Qingdao: "On the surface, the Emperor Taishang seems to be protecting He Shanbao......"

Indeed, on the surface, the Emperor Taishang personally ordered all the people to be killed, so the case was naturally closed, and no one could investigate further. As a result, the emperor no longer had any evidence to attack He Shanbao.

Fang Shouyi smiled and said, "Oh, on the surface? Don't you think that's the case? ”

Jia Qing shook his head and asserted: "He Shanbao is not qualified for this. ”

The emperor's face and He Shanbao's net worth and life, which is more important, there is no need to say more. It doesn't make sense to protect He Shanbao in this way to save the emperor's face, and I have never heard of such a thing in ancient times. The Emperor wants to protect He Shanbao, there are too many ways to choose, but why did he choose this most drastic way?

Fang Shou looked at Jia Qing appreciatively, suddenly became solemn, and said solemnly: "It's good that you can understand this...... You don't need to think about it, it's not your business, don't get involved, this is not just a matter of government affairs. ”

Jia Qing was silent. He had his own opinion on this matter, and now that he listened to Fang Shou's words, he was even more sure of his thoughts.

If this matter is viewed horizontally, it is actually not very complicated, in simple words, it is that Emperor Zhengqing's steps are too big, and it is to the ball......

Get rid of He Shanbao, and the situation in the court will immediately change greatly! As soon as He Shanbao falls, it is foreseeable that there will be a major reshuffle in the DPRK and China.

He Shanbao's line will fall a lot, the emperor's descendants will inevitably increase their power, and those who were originally wavering or even the emperor will definitely fall to Emperor Zhengqing when they see that the emperor is really ignoring everything, and then it will inevitably open the era when Emperor Zhengqing is in power......

At that time, whether the Emperor Taishang can still maintain the current deterrent power is not certain. The father-son relationship of the Heavenly Family cannot be said to be absent, but it must be suppressed under the imperial power.

It can be said that Emperor Taishang this time is a suppression of Emperor Zhengqing, after this time, Emperor Zhengqing is far away from the day when he will be in power alone.

It can also be seen that Emperor Taishang is not ignoring everything, he is just tired and wants to rest, so he asked Emperor Zhengqing to help him sit in the office and be a general manager, and the chairman is still himself.

This time, Emperor Zhengqing seems to have the possibility of crossing the line, so the emperor has made a move!

This is the most reasonable explanation.

However, it was too cruel to Emperor Zhengqing.

Because, he may not have thought of usurping power, nor did he use conspiracy, but the Emperor Taishang reminded him fiercely who is the real lord of the world.

If Emperor Zhengqing is still the prince, or even the crown prince, it's all right. However, he is a rightful son of heaven, and this sense of humiliation is very uncomfortable and uncomfortable.

Jia Qing didn't have much energy to guess the emperor's mood at this time, and he was also in an absolute predicament.

Originally, those hall masters and deputy hall masters of the White Lotus Sect were all sent to the capital as witnesses, and he also reported to Emperor Zhengqing in advance the promise he made when he accepted and persuaded these people to surrender. Although Emperor Zhengqing did not approve, with his merits, Emperor Zhengqing didn't care about these reckless life and death, how could he be happy not to be gracious?

However, now that the Emperor's decree is a moment, it will become a dead end in an instant.

"Master, the disciple has no intention of contaminating right and wrong now, and it is best to avoid nature. It's just that I dare to ask the master, but is there any way to save those leaders of the White Lotus Sect from death, at least, to let those who are not traitors and evils save their lives.

Because, even if it was a big case three years ago, not all of the White Lotus Sect was involved. ”

Jia Qing asked with luck, his voice hopeful.

Fang Shou frowned: "The White Lotus Sect is an apostasy, could it be that you really have a relationship with them?" ”

Fang Shou didn't sympathize with the White Lotus Sect leader at all. Seeing Jia Qing's appearance, he remembered what happened half a year ago, and he was a little worried that Jia Qing had really been involved in the White Lotus Sect......

Jia Qing shook his head: "Master, I have forgotten that they were captured by the disciple himself. ”

Fang Shou frowned and said, "Then why did you say this?" ”

Because, in order to avoid death and injury, the disciple made a promise to subdue them in the way of Zhao'an, promising not to kill innocents indiscriminately. In this way, it was truly possible to break the White Lotus Sect without spending a single soldier.

Once all of them were executed by the imperial court, wouldn't that disciple lose his trust in the world?

Moreover, in the land south of the Yangtze River, there are still more than 10,000 White Lotus Sect members imprisoned, and as soon as this incident comes out, I don't know what kind of changes will happen. ”

Yes, because the order given by Jia Qing when he left was all recorded, it can be regarded as ensuring the lives of those White Lotus Sect members, and now that half a year has passed, some people have begun to be screened and released.

However, once all the leaders of the White Lotus Sect who were escorted into Beijing were executed, I don't know if those magistrates would be able to fully follow his request.

Even if it is executed, what kind of hatred will those White Lotus Sect members who have been released have towards him and the government?

These are all that, the real reason is that Jia Qing can't pass the level in his heart.

Fang Shou was also silent. After a while, Fang said: "Qing'er, you have to remember that in this world, many things will not develop in line with your own ideas. There are things you know are wrong, but you have to do them, and there are things you want to do, but you can't do them!

This is the helplessness of life, you have to learn to adapt.

You're still young, and your teacher knows that you're not willing to break your promises, but ...... Forget it, just if you haven't said it, because you can't change it! ”

Can't you change it...... Yes, the Holy Decree of the Emperor Taishang in front of the Manchu Dynasty and the current emperor, who else can change it in this world?

Do you use means? This is not in Yangzhou, once the matter fails, you have to take the Jia family to follow the funeral!

Does he dare?

Thinking of this, Jia Qing tried something called powerlessness for the first time in nine years.

He has been smooth sailing for too long with the ancestral shadow of the Jia family, and he has almost forgotten that there is anything else he can't do.

Can't change it! Fang Shou's answer was affirmative.

Jia Qing said bitterly: "Disciple, I know." ”

Fang Shou seemed to be able to sense Jia Qing's immature thoughts, and said gently: "The summer vacation is here, and you don't have to come to me for the next month, it just so happens that your family is going to welcome Concubine Yuan's relatives, so it's good to avoid the rights and wrongs of the imperial court." ”

"Thank you, Master, if it's okay, the disciple will retire first......"

"Go ahead."

Walking out of the gate of the Fang Mansion, Jia Qing still couldn't let go. He came here to ask for advice, but Fang Shou gave him a clear and realistic answer.

The execution is going to be carried out the day after tomorrow, what should he do? At the beginning, when Wu Xian'er took the initiative to explain the time and place of the Popal Conference in their sect, she mentioned this condition.

At that time, after some bargaining, he also promised Wu Xian'er ten places......

When she was in Yangzhou, due to the lack of time, counting Wu Qi, she only helped her drop three people.

When Wu Xian'er urged him, he also packed the ticket and said that when the time comes, buy one get one free, and put twenty of them for her......

When he thought of this, he was extremely depressed.

......

In Ning'an Hall, Pei Feng walked out of the room with a puzzled face, looked at Xianluan who had packed up the cups and saucers and tea utensils, and asked, "Xianluan, do you think that there is something wrong with the second master today." ”

"What's wrong?" Carry Luan Road.

"That's it, anyway, I think the second master must have encountered something unhappy. In the past, when he wrote, he liked to make me the most... They grinded it for him next to him, and I just helped him grind, and he actually said no......"

After listening to Peifeng's words, Xian Luan put down the movements in his hand, thought about it, and said, "Listening to what you say, after the second master came back from the next dynasty, it seemed that he was really dull. ”

Pei Feng suddenly said: "Then what should I do, the second master rarely has a time when he is unhappy, and today is like this, he must have encountered something difficult." ”

Jia Qing is so good to them on weekdays, Pei Feng feels that they have an obligation to find a way to make Jia Qing happy.

"However, we don't know why the second master is unhappy. ”

Pei Feng was suddenly a little deflated. I don't know anything, how to make people happy, they don't have the ability to be as funny as Jia Qing!

Suddenly, Pei Feng lowered his voice and said, "Otherwise, let's lure . How about confusing him? ”

"Ah, dead girl, what nonsense!"

With a shake of his hand, he almost tripped over the teacup.

Pei Feng was just straight for a while, and after saying it, she was quite embarrassed, thought about it and said, "Why don't we pick some fresh lychees and peel them for him to eat?" ”

Xianluan said: "It's better to let Ping'er go in and serve, we don't know anything, but we don't know what to say when we go in." Ping'er, this girl, usually sees the second master, and she doesn't dare to say anything, and the second master likes to bully her the most, maybe, so the second master will get better soon. ”

Pei Feng thought for a while and said, "It's okay, I'll pick the fruit." ”

Half a quarter of an hour later, Pei Feng and the second daughter looked at Ping'er who came out, pulled her and said, "I asked you to go in and serve, why did you come out?" ”

Ping'er, who was only eight or nine years old, was puzzled when she heard this: "The second master asked me to come out?" ”

Belch.

The two women were speechless, and finally realized the "seriousness" of the matter!

"Alright, you can go out and play."

Seeing that the little girl was going to tease, Jia Qing didn't accept it, and she couldn't carry Luan, so she had to let Ping'er go out.

"With Luan, what should I do?"

Pei Feng's face became heavy. Jia Qing's mood has always been their barometer.

"Forget it, let the second master clean himself for a while, and we won't go in and disturb him."

"Well, okay."

......

"Hehe, Xiao Zhong'er, you still haven't been honest, you and that smart man...... You guys? ~”

Inside a carriage, Jia Baoyu looked at the shy Qin Zhong with a "cheap smile" on his face, and said in a wavery voice.

Today, it is the day when Jia Baoyu went to the temple to make a vow, he pulled up Qin Zhong, and the two of them went to Shuiyue Nunnery to play kung fu for half a day under the escort of seven or eight small servants and long followers.

Qin Zhong's face turned red, and he said shyly: "Don't talk nonsense, we, we don't have anything......"

Jia Baoyu laughed and said: "Don't lie, I saw it, if it's nothing, what are you doing with your arms around her?" ”

Qin Zhong was ashamed and said, "Good man, don't shout, let others hear ......"

Jia Baoyu smiled and said: "Okay, I won't shout, it's just that you have to tell me the truth, what is going on with you, otherwise, I will go to the nunnery to ask Master Jingxu to go." ”

"Don't, don't!" Qin Zhong said hurriedly.

Seeing Jia Baoyu looking at him for a long time, Qin Zhong couldn't do it, so he had to say: "If I tell you, you just don't tell people to go, and I will rely on you for whatever you want to do in the future." ”

Jia Baoyu suddenly said happily: "Okay, then you can say it quickly." As he spoke, he sat down next to Qin Zhong and grabbed his "weak and boneless little hands"......

Qin Zhong whispered: "Me and her, we are determined to be husband and wife......

"Really?"

"Hmm."

Qin Zhongdao: "In two years, when I grow up, I will let her return to the vulgar and then marry her." ”

Jia Baoyu suddenly said happily: "This is really a happy event, tell me, how did you get good?" ”

Jia Baoyu really thinks it's a happy event. As for the fact that Zhizhi'er is a nun, in Jia Baoyu's opinion, it is not important! On the contrary, it became more and more obvious that Qin Zhong was not a layman who fell into the world, just like him.

Qin Zhong is about the same age as Jia Baoyu, he is the son of Qin Bangye in his twilight years, he is regarded as a treasure, he was born weak, and under the spoiling, he was born as shy as a girl.

has no scheming and insight, but he was born with a world-class heart like Jia Baoyu, and he thinks that he is fresher and more refined than the world, so he dares to do things that seem to be unruly to ordinary people. For example, hooking up with a nun, for example, accepting the love of a man......

Seeing that Jia Baoyu was interested in asking for advice, he half-snuggled up to Jia Baoyu, softly and in a low voice, and told Jia Baoyu how he hooked up with the wonderful nun Zhi'er.

"Unthankful, despicable and shameless villain, Lao Tzu fought with you!"

The two of them were in the carriage, and a resentful voice came from outside the carriage, and then they felt that the carriage had been hit by someone, and made a "bang" sound.
