Chapter 189: Princess Changqing
When Jia Lian returned to Rongxi Hall, it was almost late at night.
Wang Xifeng was sitting on the couch and reading a book while waiting for him. Since becoming literate, Wang Xifeng has gradually become fond of reading, especially history books.
No, what Wang Xifeng is holding in his hand now is a history of four generations.
Because the Later Zhou Dynasty completed the unification, and enjoyed the country for more than 600 years, it became the dynasty in Chinese history that enjoyed the country for the longest time since the unification of the Great Qin.
Therefore, when historians wrote history books, they naturally could no longer put the Zhou Dynasty alongside the Liang, Tang, Jin, and Han dynasties. Five generations became four.
This book in Wang Xifeng's hand was compiled by Zhao Kuangyin, the Duke of the Song Dynasty, during the reign of Taizong of the previous dynasty. Of course, the actual host is Zhao Kuangyin's chief strategist, Zhao Pu.
When Jia Lian entered the door, he saw that Wang Xifeng was looking seriously, so he stepped forward and took a look.
"The history of the four dynasties compiled by the Zhao family was largely to cater to the actual needs of Guo Rong at that time, and many places were not quite consistent with historical facts.
In my opinion, it is not as good as the new history of the four dynasties written by the scholars of this dynasty. β
When Wang Xifeng heard Jia Lian's voice, he put down the book, stepped forward and said while changing Jia Lian's clothes: "Then why does the second master still keep this book?" β
Jia Lian changed his clothes and sighed comfortably: "This was given to me by Zhao Guo, who had just taken up the post of Beizhen Prefecture Division, in Liaodong. The book compiled by his ancestors, I have to give some face. β
"Zhao Guo is a descendant of Zhao Kuangyin?" Wang Xifeng was very surprised, you must know that she had also seen the middle-aged man, who looked very easy-going, but she didn't expect it to be so big.
"It's just an ordinary Zhou Dynasty noble, and the inheritance is only two hundred years, what's there." Jia Lian looks down on the Zhao family of Song Guogong very much, although Zhao Kuangyin is not bad, but his descendants are very nesty.
Coupled with the experience of the Song Dynasty in his previous life, Jia Lian didn't like this family.
However, Zhao Guo is an exception, he is a very good Jinyi Mansion, and he has made a lot of achievements. Now he has inherited the position of Shen Yibei's town government secretary, and his role in Jia Lian is getting bigger and bigger.
The most important thing is that if Jia Lian has good news, the Zhao family still has something left. This is also the reason why Jia Lian is willing to contact Zhao Guo.
Jia Lian sat on a chair and picked up the osmanthus candied fruit prepared by Wang Xifeng and ate two pieces: "This thing is good, where did it come from?" β
Wang Xifeng's room usually has only three kinds of dim sum: bean paste cake, rose cake and plum blossom cake. The first two items are Jia Lian's favorite food, and the last one is Wang Xifeng's favorite food.
"Sister-in-law You from the east brought her two younger sisters to play today, and came to sit with us. I heard that Second Sister You made it herself, so I sent it over to Second Master Lian to taste. β
Seeing Wang Xifeng's smiling expression, he heard that this was done by Second Sister You. Originally, he took another piece and wanted to praise it for being delicious, but Jia Lian's hand stopped there.
Late at night, after the husband and wife had a hard time, Jia Lian and Wang Xifeng lay on the bed and listened to Wang Xifeng talk about today's situation at Xue's house.
"Second master, are you really sure that you will be promoted next year? If you can't, you'll be passive. Wang Xifeng moved his sour body and looked at Jia Lian helplessly.
Jia Lian smiled: "It's not a problem, I went out for this today." As long as this thing is done, don't say wait for the third time, the second class is no problem. β
"That's good." Wang Xifeng was relieved. She didn't plan to ask Jia Lian what to do, but thought about the wedding plan.
The inheritor of the Rongguo Mansion, the third-class or second-class marquis marries a flat wife, or marries two at a time. If you don't make it more lively, wouldn't it be a loss of face for Rongguofu.
Thinking about it, Wang Xifeng felt a little aggrieved. Although she is extremely beautiful now, she can not fall behind even in the face of the top lady and princess.
But when she and Jia Lian got married, Jia Lian was still white. Although their wedding was lively, it was far less than the wedding of Xue Baochai and Lin Daiyu.
Jia Lian saw his wife's thoughts, reached out to hug Wang Xifeng, and gently stroked Wang Xifeng's tender shoulder: "No matter where I go in the future, you will be the one who will accompany me from beginning to end, right." β
In the next few days, Jia Lian threw himself into Honglu Temple.
According to the practice of previous years, all the tributary missions of all countries arrived in Shenjing before July 15. On the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival on August 15, the emperor held a banquet in Zhongnanhai and summoned and entertained the envoys of various countries.
Subsequently, on August 18, the emperor summoned the envoys of various countries in turn in the Guangming Hall of Daming Palace, and the envoys of various countries presented their credentials, paid tribute, and listened to the requests of the envoys of various countries to the suzerain.
On the ninth day of the seventh month of the seventh year of Longzheng, Jia Lian was working in the yamen, and an attachΓ© from Honglu Temple came in to report.
"My lord, the commander of Jinyi Mansion has sent Lord Shen here."
"Please", Jia Lian got up and walked out from behind the book case very happily.
Originally, Jia Lian didn't plan to let Jinyi Mansion participate in the hunt for those widows, but since he knew that those few were mixed with Xu Li, he immediately changed his mind.
Those few widows don't die, the bigwigs of the court don't really care. It's like the Japanese slave mission has been thrown into prison for almost a month. Except for Jia Lian's concern, no one in the Manchu Dynasty has paid attention to it.
But Xu Li is different, as the biggest traitor he has ever been born since the founding of the country, the pursuit of Xu Li has never stopped. So Jia Lian quickly reported his discovery directly to the Jinyi Mansion and the Criminal Department.
It seems that Shen Yi has gained something from coming this time.
"My lord", Shen Yi saluted Jia Lian first after entering the door. Speaking of which, as the commander of the Son of Heaven's pro-army, Shen Yi's status is not below Jia Lian.
But Shen Yi strictly abides by the rules of the army, since he was once Jia Lian's subordinate, he always considers himself Jia Lian's subordinate.
"Brother Shen doesn't have to be polite, sit down." Jia Lian naturally couldn't accept the salute calmly, so he immediately walked up to him and helped Shen Yi up.
The two sat down in the main hall of Honglu Temple, and after chatting a few words, Shen Yixian, who knew Jia Lian's temper, said, "My lord, those people have moved. β
"Oh", Jia Lian immediately became serious, since it is his own business, he must take care of it.
Not to mention, the opponent this time is still a Japanese slave.
It turned out that Jia Lian was very aware of the urine nature of the Japanese people. So Jingwei set his sights on the Japanese slave mission from the beginning.
Inoue and the other four rushed out of the Sifang Pavilion and were soon targeted by Jingwei's people. It's just that Jia Lian instructed to stare from a distance, just don't lose your whereabouts.
Then the case of Huairenfang happened under Jingwei's nose. Jia Lian's anger is actually anger towards Jingwei and himself.
Jia Lian once thought about it, and immediately arrested a few people. But after thinking about it again, I still didn't give this order.
It is impossible for these Japanese people to escape from Shenjing on their own. They must have Zheng people to answer. If you can't catch the tail of these traitors, won't you make that innocent couple pay the price of their lives in vain.
Sure enough, those widows ran out of Huairenfang through dog holes, and were taken out of Shenjing by people hiding in a car carrying dung and brought to Tongzhou.
Jingwei's people also followed to Tongzhou, but they didn't dare to do anything when they saw their destination. They could only follow them and disguise themselves as beggars and small traders to enter the village.
Because there, it is the fief of Princess Changqing.
