When Xia Shouzhong mentioned Qi Jiguang, Jia Chen's heart was slightly shocked, he didn't expect that this famous anti-Japanese general in his previous life would also be an official in the Great Zhou in this life.

Moreover, according to the calculation of time, Qi Jiguang should have been ancient, but for some reason, he is still alive.

It seems that this side of the Red Mansion world is different from the late Ming Dynasty in the previous life after all.

Jia Chen naturally knew that Xia Shouzhong was not well-intentioned, this time he defeated his subordinates, and he brushed his face in public, so he wanted to use Qi Jiguang's hand to teach himself a lesson.

But Jia Chen has now learned the Wudang Seven-Star Sword, and he is not afraid of Qi Jiguang, a famous general with strong martial arts.

Xia Shouzhong originally wanted to see Jia Chen go out of trouble, so as to suppress Jia Yuanchun, but he ended up humiliating himself, and now he just wants to leave this humiliated place quickly.

"Lord Nushi, our family still has important things to do, so I won't bother and leave here!"

"Master Metropolitan Eunuch walks slowly!" Jia Yuanchun couldn't wait for him to walk away quickly, and immediately saluted him goodbye.

At the time of parting, Xia Shouzhong glanced at Jia Chen gloomily, and then fled with a group of subordinates.

Waiting for Xia Shouzhong and his party to walk away, Jia Yuanchun took a long breath, and his heart that had been hanging finally relaxed.

"Brother Chen, it's not appropriate to stay here for a long time, I'll send you out of the palace quickly."

Looking at Jia Yuanchun's alluring face, Jia Chen said abruptly:

"Eldest sister, as soon as you enter the palace gate, it is as deep as the sea, I don't know when and what month we will see each other again?"

Jia Yuanchun paused, his eyes became resentful, and he smiled bitterly:

"The courtyard is a little deeper, the willows are smoking, and the curtains are not repeated. No matter how deep the courtyard is, it is not as deep as the palace, and since I entered this palace, I know that I will not have a chance to go out again in this life. ”

Jia Chen comforted:

"There are no absolutes in everything, the eldest sister serves around His Majesty, and she will be accepted as a concubine in the future, and the Emperor Taishang will issue an order to allow the harem concubines to go home to save their relatives, and then we can meet."

Jia Yuanchun was stunned and asked:

"How did Brother Chen know that the Emperor Taishang would make such a will?"

Jia Chen couldn't say that he could predict the prophet, so he had to tell a lie casually:

"The Emperor Taishang is gentle and generous, and he is benevolent, and with his character, it is naturally very likely that he will make such a will."

Jia Yuanchun frowned slightly, the Emperor Taishang was not a good person, although she thought so in her heart, she didn't say it, but smiled:

"I'm only a female historian at the moment, but I do have the possibility of becoming a concubine, so I will borrow your auspicious words and look forward to the emperor making such a will, so that I can go home and save my relatives in the future."

Jia Chen suddenly looked around, and saw that there was no one around, so he lowered his voice and said:

"Eldest sister, this will of the Emperor Taishang is actually malicious and wants to put our Jia family to death!"

Jia Yuanchun's face was pale, his pretty face turned pale, and he asked in an astringent voice:

"Brother Chen, why do you say that?"

Jia Chen sneered:

"It is true that from the point of view of this holy decree itself, it is the Emperor Taishang's kindness to sympathize with the suffering of the harem concubines, but it will not be the Emperor Taishang who first proposed to let the concubines return to Ning, but His Majesty, which is intriguing."

Jia Yuanchun'e frowned slightly, and asked:

"Tell me, what's the mystery hidden here?"

Jia Chen analyzed:

"Before the Emperor Taishang issued an edict, His Majesty will first issue a holy decree, so that the dependents of the harem Jiaofang can enter the palace regularly to visit, so as to comfort the concubines and concubines.

In order to make the Emperor Taishang happy, His Majesty will report this matter to the Emperor Taishang in person, and the Emperor Taishang is very happy, so he issued the holy decree I just said.

His Majesty's decree that concubines and their dependents can enter the palace to visit is human nature, and there is a precedent; But it is too unusual for the emperor to order the concubines to save their relatives. ”

Jia Yuanchun was slightly stunned, surprised, how did he feel that Jia Chen seemed to be able to predict the prophet?

Looking at Jia Chen's eyes as deep and mysterious as the starry sky, Jia Yuanchun nodded solemnly:

"It's true, the matter of concubines and concubines has never appeared in all dynasties."

Jia Chen bowed slightly:

"The eldest sister is really ice and snow smart, just a little bit of it, Your Majesty must not want to be the first person in history.

Because of his meritorious achievements, everyone is willing to go down in history, but conniving at concubines and concubines will inevitably attract criticism, and will be recognized by the world as an absurd act, and will be deeply criticized.

The Emperor's will embarrassed His Majesty, and His Majesty was naturally reluctant, but he wanted to take this opportunity to test who was in the harem concubines' maiden family and who was of the same heart as him.

Especially our Jia family, behind our family is the founding lineage of the four kings, eight dukes and twelve princes.

But this group of intertwined and powerful old ministers is still obeying the orders of the emperor, rather than completely surrendering to His Majesty, which makes His Majesty feel like a man on his back and difficult to sleep. ”

Jia Yuanchun's delicate body trembled slightly, and he said coldly:

"I understand, Your Majesty's order to let Jiaofang's family members visit the palace is "bait", and no matter what the purpose of the Emperor Taishang's decree is to save the concubines and concubines, it disgusts Your Majesty, but he also helps Your Majesty and throws the problem to the courtiers.

Both the Emperor and His Majesty want to see, how will these courtiers choose? ”

Jia Chen said with a solemn face:

"Yes, as the saying goes, 'the rafters rot first',

If the Emperor really made such a will in the future, then our Jia family must not take the lead in responding to the Emperor's will, let alone go to thank the Emperor Taishang after entering the palace to thank His Majesty.

This will make His Majesty think that our Jia family is of the same mind as the Emperor. ”

In fact, in the original work, the pedantic and old-fashioned Jia Zheng was the first to enter the palace to thank Emperor Chongrui and Emperor Taishang after receiving the will of Emperor Taishang.

As a result, Emperor Chongrui hated both ends of the Jia family and attached himself to the emperor, which led to the robbery of the Jia family and the destruction of the family.

Jia Yuanchun said in a trembling voice:

"I'm afraid that even if there is no matter of saving relatives in the future, the Jia family will be in danger.

His Majesty is bent on cutting off the emperor's henchmen, and the Jia family, as the founding lord of a double kingdom, has been regarded by His Majesty as a thorn in the eye and a thorn in the flesh! ”

Jia Chen sighed lightly and said:

"For today's plan, we can only make up for it."

Jia Yuanchun's eyes lit up and asked:

"Brother Chen, what's the best plan?"

Jia Chen thought for a moment and responded:

"To save the Jia family, the top priority is to show loyalty to Your Majesty, if the eldest sister becomes a concubine in the future, she needs to blow the pillow wind to Your Majesty more, and show that the Jia family is only loyal to Your Majesty, not the henchmen of the Emperor.

When the eldest sister becomes a concubine, the right to speak in our Jia family will become extremely heavy, and the eldest sister can send a secret letter to the political master, stating the stakes of the provincial relatives, and asking the political master to show loyalty to His Majesty and alienate the emperor. ”

"Great idea!" Jia Yuanchun exclaimed:

"It's a pity that I can't disobey the Emperor's holy decree, I can only follow the decree and go back to the Jia family to save my relatives, which will inevitably touch Your Majesty's rebellion."

Jia Chen said:

"The king's order cannot be violated, now the double sun is hanging in the sky, the emperor is also the king, and the eldest sister can only act according to the order.

It's just that the Emperor Taishang is so happy and pays attention to pomp, it is estimated that he will require the concubines to have a Chongyu Courtyard in their homes, as a villa for the provincial relatives, the Jia family also had to build a special courtyard for the eldest sister to live in when she returned to Ning Province.

It's just that the Jia family has been eating a lot of food in recent years, and they can't make ends meet.

Please ask the eldest sister to tell the old man to keep everything simple, just build a slightly decent and elegant courtyard, and do not be extravagant and extravagant, so as not to spend all the family funds and hurt the vitality. ”

Jia Yuanchun was relieved in his heart, and smiled admiringly:

"Brother Chen is really our Jia family's Zhilan Yushu, and the originally quite tricky life-and-death crisis was resolved by you in just a few words."

Jia Chen smiled warmly and said:

"The eldest sister has a good reputation, I am very close to the eldest sister, I wanted to see the eldest sister every day and have a long talk, but the eldest sister is trapped in the palace, and I can only wait for the eldest sister to go home to save her relatives, and then complain."

Hearing this, Jia Yuanchunfang's heart trembled, throbbing, but he couldn't hold back his expectations.

The two of them chatted while walking, and before they knew it, they had reached the palace gate.

The sister and brother found a secluded and uninhabited corner, whispered a few whispers, and then said goodbye.

Jia Chen left the palace, walked all the way to the car, walked through the streets and alleys, and returned home.

Although Jia Yuanchun drew up a plan to save the Jia family and let her act according to the plan, it is still unknown whether the Jia family can avoid the disaster of raiding the house in the future.
