Rongguo Mansion, Rongqing Hall.

Mother Jia sat on the soft couch on the high platform, surrounded by the four old concubines with different surnames of Dongping, Nan'an, Xining and Beijing, and the hall was full of orders from each family.

From the perspective of the decrees of the provinces, although Jia Mu has a smile on her face, if you look closely, you will find that the smile on Jia Mu's face is a little unnatural, although it is very well concealed, but it is still difficult to hide her mental exhaustion, seeing this scene, Mrs. Zhang, who was sitting on the side of the high platform, sighed slightly, the matter of Xifu came in half an hour ago, and before a stick of incense, everyone heard the sound of the horn, why did the Marquis of Jinxiang choose to stir up disputes at this time?

To put it bluntly, I just don't want to see the rise of the Jia family again, perhaps, there is someone else's provocation in this, no matter what the reason, as long as Jia Jue loses in today's competition, the momentum of the Jia family will be interrupted, not only the momentum of the Jia family has been hit hard, but the most important thing is that the rumors slandering Jia Jue himself will be confirmed, in this way, how can he lead the Ruishi camp again, it will not affect the image in the emperor's heart, which is very fatal.

Jia's mother was cold in her heart at the moment, but there was a smile on her face, she was the young lady of the Baoling Hou Mansion, when she first married into the Jia Mansion, it was the heyday of the Rongguo Mansion, and she saw the Jia family suffer evil things one after another, and witnessed the decline of the Jia Mansion, since her husband Jia Daishan died of illness, the Jia family was completely defeated, and the most promising Jia Zhu among the children and grandchildren also died early, but fortunately, there was another Jia Jue, and half a year not only stopped the decline of the Jia family's power, but also brought the Jia family back to the ranks of the first-class powerful families.

She is well-informed, how can she not see the conspiracy behind this competition, which is to hit Jia Jue's reputation and suppress the Jia family, especially the reaction of some old relatives made her heartbroken, but fortunately, Jia Yu and a few people handled it properly, coupled with the support of Qi Guogong and Zhen Guogong, which can maintain the face of the Jia family.

At this time, the old lady of Nan'an said to Jia's mother: "Old sister, don't worry, it's the competition between juniors, Brother Jue is young, even if he loses, it's nothing, just as a small tempering on the road to the official career, a while ago, my family's evil obstacle came from Southern Xinjiang, which specifically mentioned Brother Jue, saying yes, the king of Dongping County attaches great importance to Brother Jue, we are all old relatives, our own family, we will definitely help each other in the future, plus Your Majesty's grace, why worry about wealth and nobility?" ”

Jia Mu smiled and glanced at the old lady of King Beijing on the side.

The old lady of Beijing Wang seemed to be unconscious, leaning on the soft collapse, closing her eyes and recuperating.

The old lady of Dongping also spoke, "Children and grandchildren have their own children and grandchildren, and there is nothing bad about tempering and tempering, now Jiangsu and Zhejiang are training a new army, if not, go to the south, and the boss will still listen to the words of the old body." ”

The old lady of Xining followed closely and said: "That is, it is still close to the ancestral land, and it can be blessed by the ancestors." ”

Mother Jia was extremely relieved, and secretly exhaled, at this moment, there was a noise in the distance, Mother Jia's heart tightened, and she glanced at Mrs. Xing.

Mrs. Xing understood and hurriedly walked out.

After a while, Mrs. Xing's voice came from outside the door, "You came just in time!" How's Xifu doing? How is your brother? ”

"Back to my wife's words, win! The third brother won! ”

This is Jia Lian's voice.

The people in the hall obviously heard the conversation between Mrs. Xing and Jia Lian, and the hundreds of people in the hall were startled, and the people who could sit here were either the daughters of the old relatives of the noble family, or the court officials, and they still knew some things in the court, and they were surprised by Jia Jue's victory over Li Jiqing, and they instantly quieted down.

Just as there were hundreds of lives and thoughts in Rongqing Hall, I saw Mrs. Xing leading Jia Lian in, "Old lady, win!" ”

Jia Lian's heart was suddenly relieved, and then Jia Lian described the scene on the martial arts field with a voice and said to everyone, as Jia Lian's last sentence fell, the hall boiled, and cheers rang out.

Mrs. Zhang, the wife of Baolinghou, couldn't hold back any longer, and walked to Jia's mother with a wine glass, "Today is a big day for housewarming, and a big victory, my nephew and daughter-in-law toast you with a glass of wine, and I wish Jia Men prosperity!" ”

Mrs. Zhu of the Marquis of Zhongjing also came over with a wine glass, "My nephew wishes my aunt a long life and a long life!" ”

Jia Mu smiled, she waved her hand and said: "It's not so exquisite, with this glass of wine, one is to congratulate the humble grandson on this great victory, and the other is to wish Daming Wansheng and prosperity!" Come, everyone, drink to win! ”

As soon as these words came out, there was applause all around, and everyone raised their glasses and drank together, and those court officials didn't care about Jia Mu's last words.

The Rongqing Hall was suddenly warm.

Qianqing Palace, upper study.

Jinyiwei commanded Ma Shun to kneel on the ground straight, he has been kneeling for a long time, but Tianyou Emperor Zhu Qinde still didn't say a word, that day Jia Jue impeached Zhu Zaiyan, the son of Zhongshun Wang, deeply stimulated Emperor Tianyou, he didn't understand why Jia Jue was able to find out these secret things, because of the emperor's majesty, he was embarrassed to ask, so he ordered Jinyiwei to investigate, but Ma Shun told him that nothing was found, how could this be?

"You can take your time."

Emperor Tianyou finally spoke, his voice hoarse, with a deep exhaustion, "And the investigation of the Zhongshun Royal Mansion and the cabinet, be fast, there is not much time left for me, I must find out who is loyal to me, who is two-faced and three-hearted, who is hard-hearted to fight against me and Daming!" ”

Ma Shun knelt on the ground and said loudly: "Your Majesty, you have awakened a group of secret spies lurking in various provinces, and are hurrying to collect information, in addition..."

Speaking of this, after a moment's hesitation, Fang continued: "The secret spy who woke up and lurked in the palace of Zhongshun sent back a word, it was on the night that the leg of the prince of Zhongshun was broken, the king of Zhongshun was angry and confused, and said a word, he said that they should have killed their brothers back then. The minister suspected that what he was talking about should be Jia Daishan and Jia Daixiao, the princes of the first Rongguo. ”

Hearing this, Emperor Tianyou's face suddenly turned blue, and his eyes lit up, "Wow! I finally can't hide it! Thief! ”

Emperor Tianyou trembled with anger and said to Ma Shun: "Check, we must find out this matter clearly, I don't want to die in the lake one day!" ”

Ma Shun: "Obey." ”

Emperor Tianyou's face calmed down a little, there were too many mysteries about the things of the year, Wuzong's sudden death led to chaos in the imperial city, and then all the people related to Wuzong were liquidated by the cabinet, especially Xichang, all of them were killed, and the secret files stored in the Xichang Detective Office were burned down, and even a batch of Wuzong's handwritten edicts stored in the inner palace were lost, fortunately, in the sixth year of his pro-government, that is, in the ninth year of Tianyou, there was a theft case in the Yangxin Palace, so that he inadvertently found a batch of Wuzong's handwritten edicts, Let him know some royal secrets, but also understand what kind of emperor his cousin is, and found some clues about the battle of Hetao from the half-cut book, to his surprise, Yingzong Zhu Qizhen actually left a descendant in Wara, and became the leader of Warat, as for what happened, there was no record in the half-cut book, but it mentioned the jade seal of the country, not the one that Emperor Taizu imitated and disappeared in the fire of the Jinling Palace, It is the jade seal of the country that was carved by Li Si by the first emperor who was taken away by Emperor Yuan Shun.

Perhaps, he can get the answer he wants from the Zhongshun Palace.

Thinking of this, Emperor Tianyou pondered for a moment again, and then said: "From now on, the Jinyi Weinan Town Fusi will make every effort to track down the Zhongshun Wangfu and the affairs of the year, and leave other matters to Dongchang to handle." ”

Speaking of this, his gaze gradually became stern, "I don't know why your father committed suicide back then, but it must have something to do with the death of Emperor Wuzong. ”

"The minister will definitely find out those missing secret files for His Majesty."

"Let's go down."

Ma Shun's heart fell, kowtowed, stood up and retreated.

Ma Shun retreated, there was silence in the hall, Emperor Tianyou glanced at Dai Quan, and said lightly: "What fold did you just hand over?" ”

"This is a secret fold just handed over from Jia's house."

Dai Quan gently placed the notebook on the imperial case.

Emperor Tianyou unfolded the secret fold and looked at it, his face unabashedly showed a look of appreciation, and then closed the secret fold and said to Dai Quan: "Let someone send a reward to Jia Jue in the name of the Queen Mother." Also, check out this Jinxiang Hou. ”

In less than an hour, the events of the Earl's Palace spread throughout the streets and alleys of Shenjing, and under the description and rendering of the people of good deeds, the excitement of this contest amazed everyone.
