Chapter Eighty-Nine: Nine Sons Win the Heir, and the Eggs Are Not the Same Basket
After turning around, I saw Jia Zhu standing in front of him, and the mandarin duck and parrot brothers were standing on the verandah solemnly.
Seeing this, Jia Qiong couldn't help frowning, then smiled and took a few steps forward, and said to Jia Zhu:
"Brother Zhu, when will you return to the courtyard, why doesn't my brother know."
Looking at Jia Qiong who was walking towards him, Jia Zhu couldn't help but reach out and raise it to the stone table, and then the two sat down together.
Jia Zhu said with a smile: "Brother Qiong, don't blame them, I didn't let them speak." β
said and winked at Jia Qiong, and then said: "I have been taking a lunch break in the courtyard, but I was awakened by a flute ensemble, and I have been listening to it for a long time. β
When Jia Qiong heard this, she couldn't help but be stunned for a while, what did Jia Zhu mean by this, since she had woken up a long time ago, why didn't she stop it.
Is it intentional indulgence, or is there some other purpose? I don't know much about things, and I don't know what Jia Zhu thinks. He stopped talking about the subject, and then said:
"Brother Zhu, that day I returned to Shenjing from Jinling North, and you said that you need to teach the brothers of the side branch after returning to Beijing. I don't know how to teach, many of them have no intention of following the text, but they hope that they will follow the martial arts. β
Seeing that Jia Qiong deliberately changed the topic, I don't know what she thinks, whether she understands what she means. smiled and said nonchalantly:
"Since they are martial arts, they will eventually take one of the two ways, if they can't do it again, they can only let them go to Zhuangzi and do some guys in the shop.
A few years have passed in a blink of an eye, and this eldest brother Huang has taken the daughter of the Fushang family, and the eldest brother Rui of the husband's family, as well as the eldest brother Chen, the eldest brother of the other rooms, and the nephew have all reached the age of starting a family.
If the other smaller ones don't care about one or two, the clan will really be broken in the future. β
Hearing Jia Zhu say this, a trace of thought couldn't help but appear in his heart, so he said to the mandarin duck and the parrot: "Mandarin duck, brother parrot, you go and go about your own business first." I'll talk to Brother Zhu alone. β
After the two left, Jia Qiong glanced around, changed positions, and sat next to Jia Zhu, so that he could watch the gate and alley at any time.
After thinking about it for a while, Fang said:
"Brother Zhu, the juniors in the clan are broken, I understand both, even the eldest sister knows, why the three uncles pretend not to know, but Brother Zhen, who is the patriarch, does not interfere, the younger brother is really confused for a long time, and I hope that Brother Zhu will solve the puzzle."
Hearing this, Jia Zhu couldn't help but be silent, his eyes couldn't help but stare at Jia Qiong's eyes tightly, and the four fingers of his right hand took turns to bounce up and fall on the stone table, making a sound like a horse running, and only after a long time did he say:
"Brother Qiong, this matter is complicated, and my brother doesn't know too much about the reason, my father, Uncle Yu and Uncle Jing are not allowed to listen to this matter, but I am just asked to study hard and strive to get the Jinshi as soon as possible, and it would be better if I entered the top three of the first class.
However, they also mentioned me one or two in and out of their words, but they didn't completely straighten it out for my brother, so they could only tell you what they knew.
My brother only knows that there was an incident six years ago, and there was an incident twelve years ago. These two events have a great impact on the clan.
Twelve years ago, it was okay, the loss of personnel was not large, but it consumed the grace of the saint and the friendship of many old relatives, and the favor owed to us in the past was repaid.
Unless they are asked to owe a favor again, they will be very sad if they commit a big thing in the future. β
After listening to it for a long time, she didn't hear too much useful news, Jia Qiong couldn't help but panic a little in her heart, Jia Zhu obviously knew some news, but she was afraid of some things, and she didn't want to talk to herself.
I made myself up and down, and I wanted to open my mouth and try it again, but I was worried that Jia Zhu would be disgusted.
Although Jia Zhu is fourteen this year and fifteen years old, he may die in a few years according to the original book.
But he still wants to take a few more steps up with the help of Jia Zhu, and he doesn't want to hate him now.
I was a little hesitant for a while, and after thinking about it, I was ready to give up.
Let's learn from him in the future, that Ding Zhong, as the actual participant, although he is relatively low-level, should be able to hear some useful things, thinking of this, he is ready not to ask again.
At this time, Jia Zhu, who had been observing Jia Qiong, saw that Jia Qiong's eyes were complicated at first, and finally relieved and ready to give up.
Seeing this, he thought that maybe Jia Qiong wanted to know the cause of his father's death, and he was worried that he would have hated himself, otherwise he wouldn't have wanted to give up so quickly.
In the future, we still need to cooperate, and this thing should be fine with him, and it will not hurt the relationship between the two.
After thinking about it, he said: "Brother Qiong, what my brother knows is only some things six years ago, so let's tell you a little bit about it."
Six years ago, the saint suddenly became seriously ill and had no time to appoint an heir, and the crown prince was abolished several times, so that other princes could see hope.
In the end, the nine sons seized the heirs, and all the princes and ministers, generals and nobles basically participated. β
Speaking of this, he couldn't help but pause, exhaled a deep breath of turbidity, looked around carefully, and lowered his voice:
"At the beginning, the clan had already seen this, but Jingbo had already served the prince before, and he had a good relationship with the prince.
As a result, the crown prince was deposed several times, and the connections in my clan were consumed a lot, but I didn't see the shadow of the dragon's work, and it was even very likely to fail. β
I heard that ten years ago, Jingbo suggested to his grandfather that his eggs should never be put in one basket, and if he can't do it, he would sacrifice one.
Let several elders in the clan support one each, and the specific personnel are chosen by themselves, and they are not allowed to talk to him, and everyone assists with their own abilities.
Uncle and Brother Jane also secretly supported one, but I don't know who it is.
Including my father, who also chose one to be ready to support.
My father's story was told by my mentor and Uncle Lin and me, saying that the few people selected by the descendants of the Jia family are all outstanding people, and they all have the opportunity to ascend to the treasure.
However, it was my father who had the most accurate vision, and when he was as old as me, he had posted it to His Majesty today, stating that he would meet him on the day of the month of such and such a year, and he had written a letter of worship two years in advance.
Unfortunately, the times were not good, and my father wanted to prepare to participate in the imperial examination like Uncle Jing, and go all the way to meet His Majesty who was still in the palace at the peak.
However, in the first imperial examination, I met the teacher who fell into the water, and the two knew each other, so they went into the water to save them.
Although he saved his teacher, his father was stimulated by cold water, and he fell seriously ill, and the whole person was in a mess.
After the exam was over, the teacher owed my father this lifelong kindness, so he communicated with my father, and if he had a child, he would get married. β
After speaking, he looked at Jia Qiong, who was listening carefully, and said: "Therefore, my senior sister and I have been married since childhood, and when the second imperial examination was held, my father handed over the prayer post again as before.
As a result, it encountered a natural disaster again, and it was already a little late when I arrived in Jinling, and I was even more unaccustomed to the water and soil, and it was a long time of cultivation.
After his body recovered, he missed the exam again.
In fact, at that time, the Yin of Jinling Mansion suggested that people should refer to it on behalf of my father, and when they were examined in the future, they would go to it in person to prove that they had real talent and real learning.
My father didn't agree, but I understood him, and if it were me, I wouldn't have agreed.
In the end, this time, my grandfather did not agree with my father to go to Jinling for reference, and he wanted to use the grace of the upper house to go directly to Guozijian to study, and in the future, he would directly take the exam.
My grandmother also told me that my grandfather also told my father that the first two times had given you the opportunity to be willful, but there were no two things but not three, and there was not enough time for you to be willful, so my father had no choice but to agree.
But he never thought that there was really not enough time, until six years ago, the nine sons of the Heavenly Family won the heir, and his father did not achieve fame, so he did not worship when His Majesty was in the palace, and no one in the Jia family supported His Majesty today.
Who would have thought that the emperor would also have a back hand, so he summoned several princes and ministers into the palace to listen to the will, but they were all detained.
He also asked Jinyiwei to arrest the families of all the more than 1,000 people involved in the incident, and forced the generals to put down their knives and guns.
He also said that the Beijing battalion changed its guard to go to the border army, recruited the Beijing camp from the new ones, and did not punish them for capital crimes, but they must not leave the border army in this life, and life and death are in the border area.
Fang put down the rebellion in this matter, and after the emperor was disheartened, he set up the current majesty who has always been filial.
After thinking about this incident, after a few months of resting, the emperor recovered, took back military power, and was in power behind the scenes, wanting to deal with the previous criminal soldiers and the princes and ministers who supported the coup d'Γ©tat of the princes.
The men of my Jia family, except for my father, were all involved, and they were not only assigned to the side branches of the border army, but also the honoring and pardoning uncles of the main branches.
If the emperor pursues it, the harm is too great for the clan to bear.
Then my grandfather entered the palace to see the emperor and begged for death.
For the sake of his grandfather who had saved him, the Emperor reluctantly agreed.
Therefore, my grandfather isolated himself from the family, and on his deathbed, recommended my father as an official, and thus my father got his current position.
My father felt that because of his willfulness, the entire clan missed this opportunity, and several mistakes were that God did not let him be born. β
Speaking of this, Jia Zhufang looked elsewhere and said:
"I don't know anything else."
When Jia Qiong heard this, she couldn't help but sigh for a while, so she changed the topic and said:
"Brother, when you go back to Beijing today, why don't we go to visit our teacher tomorrow and see if our brother is in Beijing."
While the two were chatting, they overheard Jia Zhu coming to report after hearing the wind:
"Uncle, there was a sudden news from the concierge that Guozijian Li Xijiu was here, and the lord personally greeted him, and now it should be in Rongxi Hall."
PS: I haven't checked it yet, I've just finished it
