Chapter 434: Selfishness
can kill such a bloody path among many princes, how can the prince be an ordinary person.
The man tried so hard, and the prince was more inclined to conspiracy theories.
If Jia Lian is not in the prison, it is a big deal to kill his relatives in righteousness, which is actually not a big deal.
But now that Jia Lian is in prison, things are much more tricky.
was so timid, the prince didn't believe how kind this man was.
If this is the case, then the actions of the people behind the scenes must be waiting for him to deal with it next.
After thinking about it carefully, the prince reached out and took the note from the subordinate officer's hand and looked at it repeatedly.
Jia Rong is immoral, if he handles it impartially, Jia Lian in the prison will definitely be implicated.
The officials who fell this time, there are many people like Jia Rong who are immoral, but there are none, and they are also the children of the clan who are immoral, and the emperor will give the target person the charge of not governing the family strictly.
And among them, because if it is an official
In this way, once Jia Rong's immorality is poked out, he will try his best to overcome public opinion, and the Jia family that he has saved will inevitably escape the fate of being raided.
Because there are already lessons from the past, if the Jia family is different here, Jia Lian will come out of the prison in the future, and with this exception, he will also be criticized.
Moreover, it will also make people delve into the emperor's intentions for Jia Lian.
Just as the matter of Jia Rong and Second Sister You cannot be seen in the light of day, the emperor's every move now, for various reasons, cannot be exposed to everyone's field of vision.
Otherwise, it will cause public outrage, not only will the name of the tyrant not be able to escape, but even he, the crown prince, will also be affected.
After all, the emperor did all this to open the way for him.
Of course, it is undeniable that the letter in his hand still has a certain degree that makes him not so passive.
At least now he knows that there is such a thing, so that he will not be in the east window incident in the future, and he will be kept in the dark and made very passive.
Although I haven't taken the initiative to go anywhere now, at least I have the bottom in my heart.
Thinking about it, the prince waved his hand to signal the subordinate officials to go down, thought about it himself, and sorted out the paper that had been ravaged into a ball of paper on his hand, and then walked towards the direction of the prison.
This emperor's move, pulling down so many people in one fell swoop, strictly speaking, is actually a big taboo.
After all, these people are all people who hold great power at this time, and the emperor is nothing more than taking advantage of the surprise attack, and everyone is caught off guard, and people have already been controlled.
However, in this way, it is inevitable that people will be dissatisfied, and foreign enemies will be around, and it is a very dangerous thing to set off this kind of internal strife at this time.
After all, these families are in public, and there is no shortage of people who hold military power.
Therefore, the emperor did not allow the prince to interfere at this time, and it was also to pave the way for him to ascend to the throne in the future.
With good intentions, he used his reputation as a foreshadowing to let his son embark on the broad road of Mingjun.
But these people are now so high and powerful, although in the future the crown prince will let them perform their own duties, but the power position is definitely a big difference.
In this way, in order not to arouse suspicion among the people, and in order to demonstrate his benevolence to his own people, the prince needs someone to prove his status and power.
Obviously, the crown prince and the emperor chose the same person.
Jia Lian.
Although the Jia family gradually declined in the Kyoto family due to the incompetence of future generations, the Jia family was unable to threaten the imperial power, so the safety was also convincing.
After all, the background, weight and influence of the Jia family, coupled with Jia Lian's own ability and expressiveness, are all very suitable.
Of course, the most important thing is that with the status of the Jia family now, there is no way to match the original Kyoto Eight families, which makes the royal family feel relieved that there will be no more things like the previous imperial power.
Since they are ready to reuse Jia Lian and let Jia Lian be a representative of the royal affection, then they naturally have to ensure Jia Lian's loyalty to the royal family.
Maybe even Jia Lian himself didn't expect that Qin Keqing's identity, coupled with the previous palace change, Jia Lian's repeated surrender and "loyalty and courage" contributed to what happened to the Jia family today.
Otherwise, according to their original assumptions, Jia Lian was not the man of destiny.
Everyone in the predecessor of the virtuous Kyoto knows, if it weren't for Lin Ruhai's strength to pull him up later, Jia Lian alone wanted to reach his current status so quickly, it would undoubtedly be a fool's dream.
And Lin Ruhai, in the eyes of the old emperor, is the embodiment of the four words of loyalty, righteousness and courage.
Yangzhou patrols the imperial history of salt, a few years of dormancy, the family is ruined, in exchange for the current full treasury.
Therefore, this is also one of the reasons why Jia Lian was able to walk into the eyes of the emperor.
Prison.
After the prince left that day, the jailer relayed the prince's words to him that night because he received Yin Shanzhi's silver, so there was also the matter of Jia pardoning Qin Keqing going to the prison to visit Jia Lian.
It was only because he guessed the intention of the emperor and the crown prince that Jia Lian knew that he should not show a comfortable status quo at this time, but he had to behave honestly and fearfully, which could satisfy the perverted psychology of these people.
After all, only if he has suffered enough here, will he be grateful for everything that will go out in the future.
Therefore, the more cautious he is, and the more grateful he is to the prince, the faster he will go out.
It's just that the days of the prison are boring, which is different from being imprisoned in the future, and there is still a time to let the wind out.
The days here are the same, facing four bare walls every day, and there is nothing to pass the time, so Jia Lian can only recall his various things in the future life over and over again, so as to eliminate the loneliness and anger in his heart.
When the prince arrived, Jia Lian was in a daze, with a dull expression on his face and blank eyes.
However, his body was neat, and his hair and clothes were decent, not as filthy as in other cells.
"Lord Jia, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has come to see you."
Cautiously probed, the jailer looked at Jia Lian who was sitting on the bed with a flattering face, the latter turned back a little slowly, and when he saw the prince, his eyes lit up slightly, and then he quickly got up.
"Xiaguan has seen His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, His Royal Highness Chitose Chitose Chitose."
It was not a deliberate neglect in the past, this time Jia Lian simply knelt on the ground neatly, and then opened his mouth with a little "excitement".
Originally, when he came, he was still thinking about whether to bring a little Xingshi to ask for guilt, but seeing Jia Lian, who had been arrogant in the past, behaved like this, the prince's brows moved slightly, and after Jia Lian knelt down completely, he quickly reached out and pulled Jia Lian on the ground up.
"When you and I see each other like this, didn't I tell you before, when there are no outsiders, don't make a big salute."
Shaking his head in fear, Jia Lian waved his hand when he heard this, and said respectfully to the prince.
"The courtesy of the monarch and the minister cannot be abolished, the lower officials did not know the height of the sky in the past, and now the days in this prison make the lower officials deeply aware of the inappropriateness of their previous behavior, and their hearts are terrified, although they are valued by His Royal Highness, but the ministers themselves cannot be so, and they should always remember the grace of His Royal Highness."
This is what Jia Lian decided to say after thinking about it for a long time in prison.
Because he didn't think that people who could do such vicious things would value personal relationships very much.
Therefore, instead of trying to rely on personal relationships to make his career smoother as before, it is better to honestly abide by the courtesy of the monarch and ministers.
Although this will give people a sense of distance, it can also make people quickly see servility in Jia Lian.
I can clearly feel the transformation of Jia Lian's thinking.
I don't know whether my performance like this is satisfied or dissatisfied in the eyes of the prince, Jia Lian got up, and looked at the prince silently out of the corner of his eye, but he saw the prince looking in his direction, and there was something in his eyes.
His heart was slightly condensed, since he was sure of the actions of the emperor and the crown prince in his heart, Jia Lian had some meaning that the grass and trees were soldiers.
The two great perverts are unscrupulous people who want to achieve their ends, and now they do this to themselves because they still have the value of use for them.
Therefore, in order to get out as soon as possible, in order to eliminate the impact on the Jia family as soon as possible after going out, Jia Lian thought very clearly during his time in the prison.
Even if Jia Lian wants to flee in the future in order not to be enslaved by such a monarch, the top priority is to increase his weight in the prince's heart, so as to ensure that he will not be abandoned.
Therefore, the prince's appearance now seems to be a little hesitant, which is far from the last time he came in with a face full of guilt, which makes Jia Lian have to keep an eye in his heart.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince seems to have something to worry about?"
Jia Lian hesitated in his heart and slowly spoke.
showed such a demeanor in front of himself, and he came to the prison specifically, and he wanted to come to the prince's affairs and had nothing to do with him Jia Lian.
Thinking silently in his heart, Jia Lian said while looking at the prince respectfully, his face full of concern.
sighed in his heart, the prince was originally thinking about the handling of the letter in the sleeve pocket because of Jia Lian's attitude, and when he heard this, he glanced at Jia Lian and did not speak, but simply reached out directly from the sleeve pocket to take out the envelope and hand it to Jia Lian.
"This is what my subordinate official of the East Palace saw in the carriage today, according to him, he didn't go out when he went out, and he didn't release it to the carriage until he returned to the East Palace."
Slightly stunned, Jia Lian didn't expect the prince to be so direct, and the envelope was turned out with both hands, and saw the four big characters written on the red paint on the prince, and when he looked up, the prince's expression seemed to be a little serious.
Suppressing the doubts in his heart, Jia Lian reached out and opened the envelope, his eyes moved down with the handwriting, and the expression on his face gradually condensed.
"Poof" knelt on the ground, Jia Lian pulled the envelope tightly in his hand, and the green tendons on his neck were exposed.
It is false to say that he is not angry, although he has always known Jia Rong's personality and knows that this is a mischievous character.
On the outside, it seems to be cringe, but on the inside, it is also filthy.
But Jia Lian really didn't expect that he really got involved with Second Sister You, and even now he is secretly knotted and discovered.
For this Second Sister You, Jia Lian's impression only stayed in this former and posterior Red Mansion, and raised her as an outer room.
I heard that the reviews were not very good, I remember that when I was watching TV, Jia Rong was teasing this second aunt, and she was spit out of the melon seed shell.
But Second Sister You and Jia Zhen have a leg, and this Jia Lian still knows.
Therefore, Jia Lian really didn't expect that Jia Rong would be so bold and disregard for people, and Second Sister You is not Jia Rong's second aunt, so Jia Lian won't say it for the time being.
But the woman who took over her father, Jia Lian really didn't expect this.
Not to mention the time now.
Although Jia Lian is in the prison, because Yin Shanzhi often haunts, Jia Lian is no stranger to the scene outside.
Fifteen officials were involved, including the eight major families of Kyoto.
The evidence of the charges given is conclusive, I heard that several homes have been raided now, and others may not know, but Jia Lian knows that what these people are facing now is to raid their homes one after another.
Just in order not to fall into the mouth, Jia Lian also knew that the emperor would not accept the dowry of his daughters.
And Jia Lian because of the prince's importance to him, the big stone in his heart had already been put down.
As long as it doesn't affect his family, it doesn't matter if he suffers a little by himself.
But if the contents of the letter are true, then all this becomes uncertain.
Without saying a word, Jia Lian knelt down, and he didn't know how to speak for this kind of thing.
Reasoning, Ning Rong's second mansion had already split up a few generations earlier, and Jia Rong did such a thing, and it was about Jia Lian's.
It's a big deal to go out and be pointed at by others, they are Jia Rong's who, who and whatever.
But as the saying goes, with great power comes great responsibility.
also belongs to the Jia family, Jia Lian's status is naturally much higher than Jia Rong, who is the patriarch.
Therefore, even if it is separated, Ning Rong's second mansion is not like the second room where the Daguan Garden lives, the people are open and have their own doors, and the ancestors don't recognize it, so naturally it doesn't involve anything.
But their two mansions are still one family in the eyes of outsiders.
In this way, if something happens to Jia Rong, Jia Lian will not be able to get out of it.
"This palace just got the news, so I came here to see you, and now the truth of the matter is true, and this palace has not checked it."
The purpose of saying this is nothing more than to let Jia Lian know his trust in Jia Lian.
His mouth opened, and Jia Lian couldn't speak.
has the ability to send things to the prince unknowingly, plus Jia Lian knows Jia Rong's urine, so there is no need to doubt the authenticity of the matter.
Stretching out his hand to pull Jia Lian up again, the prince sighed, stretched out his hand to pull back the paper that Jia Lian had squeezed tightly, and looked at Jia Lian seriously.
"You know beforehand?"
Although one or two can already be seen from Jia Lian's expression, he still has to ask in person.
The prince looked at Jia Lian thoughtfully, and was also waiting for Jia Lian's reply.
The reason why he came to the prison to find Jia Lian this time was actually to hear what Jia Lian meant.
He didn't know what the ultimate purpose of the person behind the curtain was, but it was not difficult to see that the person had the behavior of trying to provoke the relationship between him and Jia Lian.
Therefore, the prince's actions today, no matter what the outcome of the subsequent treatment is, also want Jia Lian to have a bottom in his heart.
got up obediently, and when he heard the prince's question, Jia Lian bent down respectfully, and his voice was a little astringent.
"Returning to His Highness, the lower official, I have never known."
After saying that, thinking of his wife and daughter at home, Jia Lian's throat moved slightly, and he added.
"Since that person dares to hand over this letter to His Highness, there is not much difference between the truth and falsity of the matter, just for the sake of the past, the lower official still hopes that His Highness will investigate it thoroughly.
My nephew is a little ......."
Not even an adjective could be found, Jia Lian froze, paused, and continued to speak.
"But his brain is also a little difficult on weekdays, so I'm afraid that someone with a heart deliberately set up a situation, and the purpose is actually something else."
Although it is tactful, Jia Lian's words are actually selfish.
