Time flies quickly, and in the blink of an eye, it is the thirtieth year of the Chinese New Year's Eve.

Jia Mu and other people who have been sealed are all dressed in court clothes according to their grades, and they first sit in an eight-person sedan chair and lead everyone into the palace to congratulate.

Jia Cong is now at home, so naturally he also has to enter the palace to participate in the pilgrimage.

Early this day, by the mandarin ducks, raiders and others, served and dressed neatly, wearing python robes, jade belts around their waists, purple and gold crowns, and thick-soled small court boots.

You Shi stepped forward to help Jia Cong sort out his collar, looked at it a few more times, and said with a smile: "Brother Cong is really handsome and handsome when he dresses up, and this time he will definitely fascinate everyone when he enters the palace to congratulate." ”

Jia Cong smiled: "Is it so exaggerated? If I really charmed the women in the palace, Your Majesty probably won't spare me. ”

The mandarin duck glanced at Jia Cong, this master is really stinky and beautiful, he has no scruples at all, and he even dares to make jokes about the emperor, this courage is really fat.

"Hey, my lord, you can keep some morality, if you continue like this, how can you get it?"

Jia Cong stretched out his hand and touched the mandarin duck's face, and said with a smile: "What are you worried about?" Just kidding, who is going to tell the truth? ”

You Shi looked at the little man in front of him, how he saw and liked it.

Although he is still a big child, he is very good at kung fu, which makes him want to stop and is a little fascinated.

Thinking of the relationship between the two of them recently, I couldn't help but feel a little pounding in my heart, and looked at Jia Cong's eyes, full of doting.

However, she is much more sophisticated than Qin Keqing, and she doesn't show anything unusual at all.

On the outside, it looks like an eldest sister-in-law, caring for her younger brother, everything is very natural and harmonious, and people are impeccable.

You Shi smiled and said: "Okay, don't play poor, the hour is almost up, we should enter the palace, and if we don't leave, the old lady is probably in a hurry." ”

Jia Cong said: "Then let's go, when we come back, we are also preparing for the New Year." ”

Let You Shi sit in a sedan chair, Jia Cong rode a horse, took Li Biao and other guards, went out of Ningguo Mansion, and came to the door of Rongguo Mansion.

Gathered Jia Mu, Jia Yu, Jia Zheng, Mrs. Xing, Mrs. Wang and others, and rushed to the palace.

Along the way, I met a lot of officials, and rushed to the palace with their family rolls.

The streets of the entire Shenjing City are clean and tidy, which makes Jia Cong very satisfied, and these are all his own credits.

Jia Lian accompanied and escorted Jia's mother, rode a horse with Jia Cong, and looked at the clean and tidy streets along the way, and also sighed.

"Brother Cong, since you took over the Five Cities Terracotta Division, the entire Shenjing City, it is a new look, orderly, and everyone applauds, at the end of this year, you will do another big cleaning, so that everyone can celebrate the New Year cleanly, and you have done it really well."

For Jia Lian's praise, Jia Cong smiled and accepted it happily.

In the past few days near the end of the year, Jia Cong asked people to do another big cleaning, and they were busy for three days, and the results were also remarkable, and the entire Shenjing City was clean everywhere.

Whether it is residents or merchants, they are all very satisfied, who doesn't like to have a clean New Year?

For those who participated in the cleaning, Jia Cong asked the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division to set aside a part of the bonus in advance and distribute it directly, and everyone was happy.

Soon the group came to the palace, and the female scrolls all went to the harem to greet the queen mother and the queen for the new year.

Jia Cong and other officials, honorables, gathered in the main hall and stood according to their grades.

The space of the main hall is limited, and there are many people who come today, all the imperial relatives, relatives, officials, nobles, almost all those who are in Beijing have come, and the officials and nobles below the third grade are all lined up outside the hall.

Jia Cong is a super national prince, so he naturally stood in the main hall, and he was in the front position.

The people in the palace were divided into three parts, the princes of the royal family stood in a column, the civil officials stood in a column, and the military generals stood in a column.

On the side of the generals, although Jia Cong's official position is not the highest, his status is the highest, and he is almost at the forefront.

Looking at Jia Cong in front of him, everyone also had different expressions, some were envious, some were jealous, and some were hateful.

However, most officials still have a good impression of Jia Cong, and they govern the capital in an orderly and clean manner, which makes everyone very satisfied.

Of course, there are exceptions, a sword-like gaze has been staring at Jia Cong viciously, without concealing it at all.

Jia Cong also felt it, and turned his head to look over.

This person is none other than the prince of Zhongshun, although he is unwilling to provoke Jia Cong, a madman, but his hatred for Jia Cong has not disappeared.

The fact that he was deflated in Jia Cong's hands has spread throughout the aristocratic circle, and it can be said that he has lost face.

The emperor looked at the kid and didn't give himself a head.

I found the support of my father, the Emperor Taishang, but the Emperor Taishang also said that he acted recklessly and let people attack Ning Guogong's Zhuangzi, which was purely self-inflicted, so let him go home and reflect on it.

This makes him a prince, how can he swallow this breath?

If eyes could kill, Jia Cong would have died countless times by now.

When the prince of Zhongshun saw Jia Cong looking over, he snorted, turned his head away, and stopped looking at him.

When the people next to them saw this, they began to ponder in their hearts.

King Zhongshun's performance is obviously a little timid, it seems that he is very jealous of Jia Cong, and he doesn't dare to look at him, it seems that that incident has left a shadow on King Zhongshun.

Looking at Jia Cong's eyes, he couldn't help but admire a little.

This kid is really a newborn calf who is not afraid of tigers, ruthless in his means, and bold in his courage, he is so loyal to the prince that he has no temper at all, which is really amazing.

Seeing this, the second prince couldn't help but shake his head.

originally wanted to take advantage of the festival between King Zhongshun and Jia Cong to provoke a stir and borrow the hand of King Zhongshun to deal with Jia Cong, but King Zhongshun was very jealous of Jia Cong and refused directly.

The plan that he had worked so hard to come up with was wasted again.

He is not a fool, so he naturally knows that Jia Cong is not moving now.

His father likes this kid very much, and Jia Cong's tribute wine is that his father opened his mouth and didn't let the people of the royal family stretch out their hands, so no one dared to move.

I went to the palace to investigate, and only then did I know that the tribute wine in the palace was all given by Jia Cong to his father for free.

At least 10,000 altars of tribute wine are sent into the palace every year, and this 10,000 altars is 50,000 catties, which is 50,000 taels of silver.

This kid is really a character, he has the ability, the means, and he will do things, and I admire him a little.

If such a person can assist himself, he will not be able to do great things.

If it weren't for this kid ruining his good things in Yangzhou, he really wanted to win him over.

With this kid's ability, he should know that Yangzhou is his own person, even if he didn't know it at the time, he should know it now, with this barrier, he just wants to win him over, and it is estimated that he can't believe himself.

It seems that this feud is really settled, and it is difficult to resolve it.

If such a character is not used by himself, that can't make him his enemy, this guy is too lethal.

If he really stands on the opposite side of himself, he can only use the last resort to get rid of him.

We must not let this kid ruin his great cause.

looked at Jia Cong, saw that he was looking over, a hypocritical smile appeared on his face, and nodded at Jia Cong.

Jia Cong also nodded slightly, and Jia Cong was also a little helpless about this second prince.

He really didn't want to conflict with the royal family, and inadvertently offended him, and he didn't know if this kid would find trouble for himself?

I can only be more vigilant, but I hope the two sides can get along in harmony.

Not long after he provoked the prince Zhongshun, he really didn't want to conflict with the second prince, even if His Majesty didn't favor the second prince, he would definitely have an opinion on himself, after all, it was his own son.

At this time, the little eunuch above shouted loudly: "The Emperor has arrived!" The emperor has arrived! Hundreds of officials saluted. ”

Everyone bowed and saluted together: "Welcome to the emperor, welcome the emperor." ”

Emperor Taishang turned around from behind and sat on the dragon chair, and Emperor Longqing followed by him and sat down on the chair next to him.

"Let's get even."

"Emperor Xie, Your Majesty."

Next, the Emperor Taishang and the Emperor delivered speeches respectively, and the general meaning was similar.

It is nothing more than a wish, the country is stable, the wind and rain are smooth, the grains are abundant, the world is peaceful, the people are happy and happy, the border dust is forever, good luck and so on.

Next, he comforted some old ministers, ministers, and said a few words to everyone, and then went to Taiji Palace to give a banquet.

The banquets of the royal family are all divided into meals.

The emperor and the emperor sit on it, and the bottom is divided into several columns, each person has a eucalyptus, and the people with high status and high official positions sit in the middle two columns, and the other officials are arranged in the back according to their positions.

In the first row on the left, there are some civil officials and important ministers, and several Shoupu suddenly sat down again.

Jia Cong sat in the first row on his right, just below the King of Beijing.

Thanks to the divine soldiers and BMWs presented by Shui Rong, the two have been in touch, but they don't really have much time to get along.

Jia Cong arched his hand and smiled: "The little brother has paid a greeting to the prince in his early years, and greeted the old princess on my behalf." ”

Shui Rong smiled: "It's easy to say, it's easy to say, you must bring it, Brother Cong, you really impress Brother Wei, this trip to Liaodong really shocked countless people, although Brother Wei knew that Brother Cong was capable, but it still surprised me." ”

Jia Cong said with a smile: "The prince praised it falsely, it is all the emperor's blessing, the soldiers use their lives, and the brothers are just at the right time, not worth mentioning, not worth mentioning." ”

Hearing this, he smiled, this kid is really a slippery head.

I didn't expect that when I made an idle move, I actually bet on the right treasure, this kid is really a character.

Since returning from Liaodong, Jia Cong's every move has fallen into the eyes of Shui Rong, and his ruthlessness towards the enemy and decisiveness in doing things have shown that Jia Cong is not simple.

Coupled with his actions in the Five Cities Terracotta Division, the entire capital was governed by him in an orderly manner, which further showed that Jia Cong was a capable person.

The two families are world friends, and they have always gotten along well, and in the future, they can help each other in the DPRK and China.

Shui Rong said: "Since you came back, you have been busy, our brothers have not had a good gathering, after the year for the brother to do the east, Brother Cong must appreciate the face?" ”

Jia Cong said with a smile: "I have been outside all these years, and now that I am back, I will definitely go to the prince and the old lady to pay New Year's greetings to the old lady after the new year." ”

At this time, the palace maid rushed in, and one dish after another was brought up and placed in front of the ministers.

The Emperor Taishang and the Emperor once again congratulated: "Today is Chinese New Year's Eve, the whole country celebrates, and all Aiqing gathers together, I am very relieved, I am here to give everyone Aiqing a cup and drink victory!" ”

All the ministers raised their glasses one after another to bless the emperor.

"Congratulations to the Emperor and the Emperor, a good New Year, all the best, thousands of years, longevity and heaven."

It can be seen that the Emperor Taishang is very happy today, talking and laughing with several old ministers in front of him.

Then, a group of singers came, dancing in the middle.

Jia Cong looked at it for a while, it is indeed very standard, these singers are specially trained in the palace, whether it is appearance or dance skills, they are all first-class.

Glancing at the hall, the people in front were relatively close to the emperor, basically their eyes were staring at the emperor and the emperor, and when they saw the emperor raising a glass, they followed the glass, and the emperor picked up the dishes, and they followed the dishes.

There are many more casual people in the back, and some people are staring at these dancing girls, and their eyes are fascinated without blinking.

There are also some people who mainly eat and drink, and eat and drink below, anyway, the emperor can't notice them, and the wine and food in this palace are all of the highest quality, much better than the meals at most ministers' homes.

Jia Cong looked at the dishes in front of him, there were a few dishes that he liked, these dishes were not eaten in vain, and he was no longer polite at the moment, and directly poured himself a drink.

The imperial chef in this palace really didn't say that his cooking skills were good.

After tasting a few dishes, Jia Cong also nodded with satisfaction.

Seeing this, Shui Rong smiled and said: "Brother Cong, don't patronize yourself to eat and drink, come, I will toast you for my brother." ”

Jia Cong smiled, raised his glass and said, "Lord, my brother also toasts you, it's done." ”

After speaking, he raised his glass and saluted, and raised his head to do it.

Seeing that Jia Cong was so crisp, Shui Rong also raised his glass and drank it.

This kind of banquet is a scene, a ceremony, representing the emperor's reward to the courtiers, and generally does not last long, after all, today is the Chinese New Year's Eve, and every family has to go home for the New Year.

Look at the almost, the emperor and the emperor will leave.

Those royal princes, seeing that the emperor and the emperor are gone, naturally they will not stay anymore, they are not uncommon to eat and drink.

Jia Cong had already eaten and drunk enough, and when he saw this, he got up with Shui Rong and walked out of the hall.

came outside, waited for a while, and then the women's roll dispersed.

After making an appointment with Shui Rong to say goodbye, they each took their own female rolls, went out of the palace gate, and went to Ningrong Street.

The group came directly to Ning Guofu to carry out the annual sacrifice in the ancestral hall here.

Everything has been prepared, the masters of Ning Rong Erfu gathered in Ning Guo Mansion, and even the clansmen of Ning Rong Street have come, this year's sacrifice is similar to the clan sacrifice, which can be described as huge.

Everyone came to the ancestral hall, Jia Cong was the leader, left Zhao and right Mu, men and women were west, and they bowed down with incense.

Everyone knelt down together, and the five halls, three hugging buildings, the eaves of the inner and outer corridors, the two Dan piers on the upper and lower steps, the flowers were clustered, and there was no gap in the open space.

The whole scene was unheard of and solemn.

I only listened to the sonorous jingling, the sound of the golden bell and jade pendant swaying slightly, and the sound of kneeling boots.

After the worship, everyone withdrew from the ancestral hall one after another.

Jia Yu and Jia Zheng took the men of the Jia family to Rongguo Mansion and waited to salute the old lady.

Jia Mu and other female rolls, under the hospitality of the You family, went to the back house to rest for a while.
