There are two kinds of people in the world.

A kind of person who only does things according to his interests, like Baoyu.

People who do things according to their interests only do what they like.

If you do it well, it means that you have the ability.

If they do something bad, they don't have to bear any consequences, and naturally someone else will clean up the mess for them.

Another kind of person does things according to responsibility, just like Jia Min.

People who do things with responsibility can do what they like to do. You have to do what you don't like.

Do it well, it's what you deserve. If you do it badly, you don't have the ability, and you need to bear the consequences.

The North Ventura incident this time has blatantly demonstrated this logic.

The upper and lower levels of Jiafu bewitched Baoyu and a few people to take advantage of opportunism and want to make military achievements. Ignoring Jia Min's advice. even thinks that Jia Min has his own selfishness and wants to block the ascent of Baoyu and others.

Now that things are messed up, I'm looking for Jia Min again to clean up the mess.

They may not be unaware of the difficulties, but they still come to Jia Min. Perhaps in their opinion, Jia Min went to rescue Baoyu, it was just an easy matter.

As for how many hardships and hardships there are, how much hardship Jia Min needs to pay, how much risk he needs to bear, and even how much Jia Min may die because of this, it is not their priority.

Even if Baoyu is ruthless and unjust, killing his servant Mingyan, even if he defects to the enemy regardless of his integrity, none of this matters.

They just want Baoyu to come back.

In business, it is also the same logic of thinking and behavior.

Bukui is a wild place, and no one wants to go, so he grabbed Jia Min and went to the top pit. As for whether Jia Min is alive or dead there, in fact, no one cares.

Jia Min opened up the situation in Bukui, and when there was an improvement, the hands of all parties stretched out.

The emperor wanted to establish the prestige of the crown prince through this, the three feudatories wanted to establish their own strategic rear there, and Luo Qihua, Li Yuan, and Wan Xintang wanted to take this opportunity to wipe out the deficit.

The Ministry of War wants to establish meritorious service, the Ministry of Officials wants to install officials there, the ministers want to cultivate their own henchmen and cronies there, and the donors who go there want to make a fortune there and accumulate seniority ...... for themselves.

In short, no one thinks about the people of the community.

As for the life and death of ordinary soldiers who serve as cannon fodder for this, no one cares.

When Jia Min was against the war, in order to please the emperor, the ministers fell into the trap one after another.

The emperor even directly removed Jia from his fame and reduced his post to the people.

Even if the defeat of Windula is now, it proves that Jia Min was completely right at the beginning, and the emperor has no remorse or gesture.

Lichun brought back the news of the princess and the crown prince of Chang'an, and the emperor agreed that she would come to see Jia Min.

The implication is self-evident, that is, to default to Lichun coming to beg Jia Min to save the prince and Chang'an.

If Jia Min rescues the crown prince and Chang'an, the emperor may appreciate it. But maybe not appreciated.

If he can't be saved, Jia Min will be regarded as incompetent. Maybe he might even be blamed for it.

Jia Min felt that the emperor actually knew him very well.

It is to use Jia Min's relationship as the former governor of Chang'an to arouse Jia Min's sympathy for Chang'an.

For rescuing Chang'an, Jia Min is still willing to do it if he has a way. However, he hated that the emperor was using him.

Back to the matter of Jiafu, the same is true.

Rescuing Baoyu, although it is difficult, is not hopeless.

Rescuing Baoyu can't fundamentally change anything in Jiafu.

Before coming to Bukui last year, Jia Min had established a new set of patterns and operating mechanisms in Jiafu, from the economy to the power in the province.

This initiative has been successful to a certain extent.

However, for now, it is only an economic success. It has enabled Jiafu to have a stable money-making machine and ensured that Jiafu is financially rich.

As for the rest, the role is not obvious.

This time, Baoyu and several people went to North Wendura, as well as Baoyu and Jia Huan to kill their own people and defect to the enemy, which is a clear example.

The emperor did not listen to his advice and went to war hastily. The people of Jiafu did not listen to persuasion and instigated Baoyu and a few people to take opportunistic measures.

If something goes wrong afterwards, you have to clean up the mess yourself.

It doesn't matter if you pick up the mess, you take it for granted.

In the emperor's place, you Jia Min's fame and official position were all given by him. The king wants his ministers to die. , the minister had to die. If you want to be famous, you will be given fame. I don't want to give it to you, I'll take it all back.

In Jiafu people, Baoyu is the son-in-law, and Jia Min is the concubine. The concubine should make sacrifices for the concubine. Even if it's dead, it's due.

Even if the sister-in-law is wasted and the concubine is excellent, this is the case.

This is the difference between the times, the difference in concepts.

In their eyes, there is no concept of equal responsibility and power, and a balance between giving and returning.

Jia Min has seen through it now, and he feels a little chilled.

However, he decided that he still had to rescue Baoyu and Princess Chang'an.

Not for the Jia family, but for a little responsibility as a brother.

Not for the court, nor for loyalty to the emperor, but for Chang'an once as one of his subordinates.

Even if it wasn't Chang'an, but Jia Lian, Qin Zhong, and Feng Ziying, even if it was Ni Er, he would do it if he fell to this point.

In the first place, he had brought them to this road, and it was his responsibility to keep them safe as much as possible.

As for the future, Jia Min decided that it was time to plan for himself.

Qin Keqing and Ping'er are both pregnant, and they have a marriage contract with Baochai. Miaoyu, Qingwen and Shen Bingyi were still waiting for them in Bu Kui.

He didn't want to disappoint them, and he couldn't put their fate in the hands of someone else or even Jiafu.

Whether it is Jiafu or the emperor, they are unreliable. He must hold his fate tightly by the throat and take charge of his own destiny.

However, Jia Min did not want to take any immediate action.

First, he still has some preparations to do, and he has to think about the rescue plan.

Secondly, the current situation is not imminent.

Chang'an entered the Wendula Mountains, and it is entirely possible to hold out there for a while. If you can't beat the Tatars, you should still be able to run for your life.

If Baoyu is already dead, there is no difference between saving it sooner and saving it later.

If he hadn't died, the Tatars hadn't killed him for so long, and it was estimated that they wouldn't have killed him for a while.

Now, the Tatars have made a request for peace talks, and the emperor has learned of the whereabouts of the crown prince and Chang'an, and the situation in Windula should have reacted to it.

Jia Min wanted to see how the imperial court reacted before making the next decision.

Although no one said it, seeing so many people coming here, especially Mrs. Wang in person, Ping'er knew that something important must have happened in the mansion.

When she returned home, she wanted to ask Jia Min. However, I felt embarrassed to speak.

Jia Min naturally understood her thoughts, so she told Ping'er the truth.

Now, Ping'er is already her own person, and it is obviously unfair to her to hide such a thing from Ping'er.

She has the right to know what her master does all day.

"Well, I knew that it would be no good for them to go. I don't think about whether I'm the material or not. Where is that military merit so easy to earn. ”

"You can't blame them all, the elders are also responsible."

"That's it, it's too much, where can you even kill your own family. No matter how bad Uncle Rong is, it will not be his turn to kill him. What's more, how can that Mingyan be so loyal to the Lord, how can he do it? It can be seen that this master is always ruthless. ”

"Forget it, Baoyu and Jia Huan are just like that, it's not surprising to do such a thing."

"Yes, in their eyes, only themselves are the most important. As for others, they can all be sacrificed. What are you going to do? Really going to save them? ”

"Others are helpless, so they are counting on me, so you can't just watch it."

"Just go, I know it's useless to persuade you. I'm here with you, though. ”

"You are pregnant, it is really inconvenient to go all the way, and it is really inconvenient to hurry, in case there is any accident, it is not good."

"Where it's so delicate, as long as you are careful, it's nothing. I always want to be with you, born together, and die together. Now, I think Bukui is the most reassuring place. ”

Jia Min understood Ping'er's mood and felt that what she said made sense.

There are some pig teammates on the Jia Mansion side, and the emperor is also moody here, if he plays some games, even if he takes Ping'er as a hostage, he will be passive in the future.

Although there will be some inconvenience on the road, in the end, it is better to take Ping'er with you to rest assured.

After setting up the dinner the next day, Jia Min came to the inn, found Mrs. Wang and Qin Keqing, and told them in front of the two that he would go to save Baoyu. Do your best to get him back.

As for disposing of Jia Huan like this, Jia Min didn't say anything. However, he had already promised Qin Keqing last night, so there was no need to talk about it.

Mrs. Wang didn't ask, she must have had an idea in her heart.

Undoubtedly, now in the mansion, except for Aunt Zhao, probably no one will welcome Jia Huan back.

"So I'll leave it to Brother Min. If possible, also inquire about the news of Brother Xin'er. ”

Mrs. Wang said, and burst into tears again.

"Mother, don't worry, if Brother Xin is still alive, I will try my best to save him together."

In just a few days, Mrs. Wang seems to have aged a lot all of a sudden. Thinking that she is usually just blindly pampered with Baoyu, Jia Min is also angry in her heart.

Baoyu has reached this point today, and the old lady and Mrs. Wang actually have an unshirkable responsibility.

Including Jia Zheng, in fact, it is difficult to escape the blame. In addition to simply and rudely beating and scolding, Jia Zheng did not fulfill any responsibility for Baoyu's growth at all.

However, as soon as she saw Mrs. Wang's haggard appearance, Jia Min relented. I sighed in my heart and left.

For Keqing, Jia Min didn't say much. The relationship between the two, the two themselves know, everything is in plain sight.
