The emperor was "ill" for nearly two months, and it seemed that the prince had become a matter of course.

The massive machine of the Great Xia Imperial Court was running steadily and effectively, and it was more effective than ever.

After all, the young and vigorous crown prince has no affection for the civil and military officials who fish in the officialdom.

And the old minister who is qualified to be older once went to Longshou Palace to complain, but only got one sentence.

The prince is young and immature, and Zhu Qing will take care of it more.

He's just a kid!

This seventeen or eighteen child commanded Ruoding in the previous dynasty, and the small life of the Touching Fish Supreme Father and Son of Longshou Palace was called a nourishing life.

It wasn't until Shandong was killed by Xu Jin that the two remembered that they were the real helmsmen of the empire.

Xu Jin and Liu Ke returned to Beijing together, and on the way from Yongdingmen to the prison of the Criminal Department, thousands of people watched the arrest of all kinds of criminals.

In particular, the people involved in the case of the Qianyan Shenggong Mansion made the people of the capital addicted.

It turns out that the descendants of saints are not all noble!

When Qin sent back to Beijing, he naturally went to the palace to reply to the decree first, but Liu Xianglian, who was in charge of the guard duties, went to the Governor's Mansion to resume his life, and then hurriedly went home to wash off the dust, put on a new clothes that fit and went to the Zhongshun Palace.

He went to Shandong, and he didn't want to get his daughter-in-law who had been thinking about him for a long time.

God knew that after he received Princess Cui's letter in Shandong, he was overjoyed and almost hugged the forbidden army brother and kissed him.

The brother was so frightened that he thought there was something wrong with his preferences, and he still hid away when he saw him......

Boom Boom Boom Boom ......

The horse's hooves trampled on the bluestone slab, and there was a crisp sound.

The sleepy Ergouzi suddenly woke up, glanced forward, and immediately put on a smiling face and stepped forward.

"Yo, Second Aunt!"

Liu Xianglian immediately blushed when she was called by the second aunt, and the old servants behind her trembled with laughter, and reminded in a low voice: "The second master remembers to go to Rongxi Hall to meet Mrs. Rong Guotai first, and then talk about meeting the second girl."

"What Uncle Qi said is, I wrote it down."

Uncle Qi is an old servant of the Liu family, and Liu's father left Liu Xianglian as a loyal servant and housekeeper. I thought that this family affair was still boiled, but I didn't want the young master to go to Shandong, so this family affair was suddenly decided.

The old servant took out boxes of gifts from the carriage, beckoned his subordinates to carry them to Rongguo's mansion, and carefully instructed Liu Xianglian which ones were for the old lady and which ones were for the future young lady.

Jia Cong and Jia Baoyu, who heard the news, came to the door to greet them, and secretly praised them in their hearts when they saw Liu Xianglian, worthy of the handsome Liu Erlang, this face alone is enough to match his second sister.

"Second Brother Liu......"

"Second Brother-in-law......

Well?

A small brain melon stretched out from behind Jia Cong, Liu Xianglian was shy and happy, it seemed that everyone in Rongguo Mansion still admired her.

Even the little doll at home recognized herself.

After giving Jia Lan a small gold bill, Liu Xianglian, under the guidance of Jia Cong and Jia Baoyu, came all the way to Rongxi Hall.

The old lady's body has finally completely improved in the past few days, it may be that people are in good spirits on happy occasions, and today they are talking and laughing with their children and grandchildren in the same room.

Suddenly, I heard that the future second grandson-in-law came to visit as soon as he returned to Beijing, and he was busy preparing a banquet, so he had to pick up the wind and wash the dust for Liu Xianglian at home.

"The younger generation asked Mrs. Tai for peace, a few days ago, the emperor was almost unable to come to visit, and I hope that Mrs. Tai will forgive her sins."

Knock, knock, knock......

As soon as Liu Xianglian entered the Rongxi Hall, she knelt down and knocked her head three times in a row, making the posture of her grandson-in-law sufficient, so that the old lady and Mrs. Xing, who was sitting on the side, were very satisfied.

"This kid is so honest that his forehead is red."

The old lady was busy asking Liu Xianglian to get up, but she saw that Liu Xianglian kowtowed to Mrs. Xing again, and she really didn't have to pick the etiquette.

After some greetings, the old lady asked a few words about Shandong, and Liu Xianglian's nervousness went a little bit and let go a lot.

When he gave the prepared gift, the old lady even said that she was a good child, but she also blamed, "What do you say you are spending all this money on, child? This is ginseng and deer antler velvet, and it costs a lot of silver? There are also these Su embroidered brocades for your mother-in-law, I'm afraid they are not cheap. You have a future, and you have a lot of money to spend......

Although the Rongguo Mansion is a little nervous now, there is really no shortage of silver.

There are no good things in the old lady's private treasury, it is good that this child has filial piety, but in the old lady's heart, she is still worried that Liu Xianglian will have no parents early and will shorten the housekeeper's teaching.

Therefore, when we talk about this, we can't help but have the meaning of teaching.

In fact, these things were personally selected by Princess Zhongshun from the palace, and relying on Liu Xianglian's straight man's mind, it is estimated that she can choose the brightest things from the seized property as gifts.

The old lady's earnest teachings Liu Xianglian listened carefully, and she was grateful and confused at the same time.

He was not much better than Baoyu in the housekeeper's affairs, but fortunately, the mandarin duck came over at the right time and took Liu Xianglian to the garden to see Yingchun.

"This is a good child, but his parents went early, and he didn't understand some things. Eldest daughter-in-law, you are on the second girl's side, you have to rub these things apart and break them up, and talk about them carefully."

"Daughter-in-law's ......"

The old lady explained a lot, and the Spring Festival should be recorded in Mrs. Xing's name, and Mrs. Xing, who has a "daughter-in-law", is naturally extremely attentive and keeps the old lady's instructions in mind one by one.

"And Brother Cong, your teacher has returned to Beijing, I asked the mandarin duck to pack some things, you remember to bring them tomorrow."

Jia Cong nodded like a chicken pecking rice: "Originally, my grandson was going to go outside the city to meet the teacher, but the teacher sent someone to say that he was afraid that he would be busy in the past two days, so let me go over the day after tomorrow."

As soon as the old lady remembered what Liu Xianglian said about Shandong, she pondered for a moment, and Xu Jin was afraid that she really didn't have time to deal with her apprentice.

Shandong's officialdom was turned over like a plough by Xu Jin, and there were more than a dozen officials above the seventh grade who were beheaded on the spot by asking for the king's order banner.

There are also bandit leaders who participated in the White Lotus Rebellion, with more than 300 heads, which were hung on the city gate buildings of the state capitals.

Qingzhou and Yanzhou, where the scourge of bandits was the most serious, set up a 10,000-person capital view to deter those who were ready to move.

It was precisely because Xu Jin killed him too ruthlessly and his methods were too hot, which led to the impeachment of him piled up in the Qinzheng Palace.

However, these mistakes in the eyes of pedantic people are fundamentally politically correct in the eyes of the two saints, and every Jingguan and every head is the credit of Chiguoguo.

The Kong Lin case continues to ferment, but the Shandong White Lotus Sect bandits have been completely pacified, and the reward for this rebellion will soon come down.

"Xu Jin, the left imperial history of the Jin Imperial Procuratorate, Zizhi Yin, Jiayi Doctor, and the right deputy imperial envoy of the Imperial Metropolitan Procuratorate, crowned him as a guest of the crown prince, and was on duty in front of the emperor."

This time Shandong quelled the turmoil, Xu Jin made outstanding achievements, and even promoted two levels in the past. Only the additional reward of being crowned as a guest of the crown prince made many people staggered.

"Poetry, Xiaoya, Auspicious Day" contains: "Send his little pig, kill this big man, to royal guests, and to drink."

The prince's guests are three products, the attendants are admonished, the etiquette is praised, and the banquet is toothy.

With such an obvious reward, everyone knows that the second saint is treating Xu Jin as the future Zaifu.

If the first merit was given to Xu Jin, who was in charge of Shandong affairs, then needless to say, the second merit was definitely Jia Cong of Rongguofu who used him as bait to catch a big fish.

Originally, Jia Cong thought that the emperor would not reward him again, and he didn't want Xu Jin to return to Beijing on the second day after the decree, an internal eunuch came early in the morning, saying that there would be a holy decree for the reward before noon, so that Rongguo Mansion would prepare incense and other things to receive the decree.

When Liu Xianglian rode over, Jia Cong was in a daze holding the freshly baked reward decree.

"Jin Zizhi Shaoyin, Qingche Duwei, and Zhaoyong General Jia Cong are Shangqingche Duwei and Zizhi Yin, and promoted to General Zhaoyi."

These are all conventions, and the sealing level is upgraded to the positive third grade scattered level.

However, the reward is not so simple, the emperor actually knighted Jia Cong!

"Ziyang County?"

Yes?

Jia Cong heard someone talking in his ear, and then he came back to his senses from shock.

"Second Brother Liu......"

Liu Xianglian looked at the jade shaft in Jia Cong's hand, and couldn't help but envy her brother-in-law's holy family.

It is difficult to be knighted in the dynasty, especially this kind of martial arts knighthood, which has not been seen for many years.

"First class, it is estimated that the palace will also include Brother Cong'er's credit in Qufu."

Jia Cong nodded, the person who came to deliver the decree was Xia Shouzhong, the great eunuch in front of the emperor, and he did say such a thing.

Jia Cong has a lot of credit for cleaning up the Kong family, but it is not easy to talk about it on the surface, so he counted all his brains on counterinsurgency.

In addition, there are a lot of credits pressed before, and after thinking about it, the emperor finally gave Jia Cong a knighthood.

Jia Cong scratched his head and grinned, "It is estimated that Your Majesty also has a headache about how to reward me, so you can't give me a real official."

Liu Xianglian smiled, this is the truth.

"By the way, did Second Brother Liu also get a reward?"

Hearing Jia Cong's inquiry, Liu Xianglian smiled and nodded: "Well, I was promoted to the first level, and I was given the rank of Captain and General Xuanwu, and my actual position remains the same."

From the title of the fourth product to the fifth grade of the thousand households, this is the usual means of the imperial court.

After all, Liu Xianglian has not been in Beijing for a long time, and the imperial court will not simply promote him to his actual position.

"By the way, the palace has given a lot of tribute, and I will bring it to your sister......

Suddenly fed a mouthful of dog food, Jia Cong suddenly felt so full.

Several fine tribute satins were sent to the courtyard of Yingchun, and the girls who were originally playing joked one after another, making Yingchun's necks turn red, causing everyone to giggle.

Yingchun asked the maid to put away the silk and began to urge the girls to pack up their things, because Liu Xianglian came over today for one more thing, that is, to invite them to play in the mirror garden of Rizhongfang in the north of the city.

Also went with his friend Feng Ziying and his fiancée Cao Ying, as well as Wei Ruolan and his fiancée, who also officially decided on their family affairs after Feng Ziying's crown ceremony.

Several people are close friends, and now they are getting together to introduce each other's other half to the flower viewing banquet in the Mirror Garden.

Wei Ruolan's fiancée looks small, and her age is definitely not more than thirteen. According to Wei Ruolan's introduction, this is Yang Yi, the daughter of Wei Ruolan's mentor Yang Jinxian.

Yang Jinxian is extraordinary, but unfortunately his body has not been very good. At the beginning of April, I began to be ill, worried that I would go like this, and the baby girl's family affairs were not settled, so I asked people to look around.

Wei Ruolan's mother immediately made a decision and invited Li Shouzhong, the priest of the country, to be a Chinese person and propose marriage to the Yang family.

Perhaps because of Chongxi, Yang Jinxian got better day by day after the official marriage, and for a time this marriage was rumored as a good story by the people of the capital, saying that Wei Ruolan and Yang Yi were a match made in heaven and blessed by God.

No, everyone thought that Yang Siye, who had no hope, can now go out and walk around!

Whether it's a blessing Jia Cong can't tell, but Wei Ruolan's mother is indeed a person who can see through the world.

Although the Yang family is from a poor family, Yang Jinxian's official position is not high. But Wei Ruolan is weak and can only take the path of the imperial examination, and Yang Jinxian's Shilin connections accumulated over the years can definitely help Wei Ruolan overcome the initial difficulties.

You must know that Jia Zhu relied on the Li family of Wenhua to study for the imperial examination, and now Wei Ruolan is the same.

The Mirror Garden Flower Viewing Banquet is held by Princess Cui of Zhongshun herself, and the little county lord of her family is slowly growing up.

Princess Cui felt that if she didn't show her daughter a good husband again, she was really worried that the good son of the capital would be picked off.

After Jia Cong learned the reason for the flower viewing banquet, he almost couldn't hold back his laughter.

Why?

Liu Xuan, the small county lord of Zhongshun Palace, is the same age as himself, and he is only ten years old this year.

Xiao Maomao is a little one, and she is going to show her husband!

"Brother Cong, you're a little Maomao yourself!"

Belch......

Daiyu stood on tiptoe and rubbed Jia Cong's brain, teasing Jia Cong with crooked eyebrows.

Jia Cong spread out his hands, short, chubby and round......

"Catch up with tomorrow, I started to eat eight pig's trotters a day, and I don't believe that I don't grow big!"

"Lord Lin, the concubine invites you over."

Liu Chong, the prince of the palace, came over in person, said hello to Jia Cong, and asked the female official to invite Daiyu to the female dependent's side, while he stayed to talk to Jia Cong.

"The Prince...... Seventh brother, how is the thirteenth master?"

Liu Chong is the seventh in the royal ranks, and both of them are subordinate officials of the East Palace, and they come and go quite closely on weekdays.

Hearing Jia Cong ask about his father's situation, the corners of Liu Chong's mouth couldn't help twitching.

Because of his unreliable father, he was hung on the tree of the Dragon Head Palace by the sage master.

The reason is also simple, our Zhongshun prince has nothing to do to go to the Sifang Pavilion to see the monkeys, it is said that a certain monkey because his left foot stepped out of the door of the Sifang Pavilion first, so that the Zhongshun King was not happy, and ordered someone to tie it to the door of the Sifang Pavilion, and beat him with a whip.

Subsequently, the envoys of the South Vietnamese Kingdom clamored for compensation from the Celestial Empire, which was like stabbing a hornet's nest, and the king of Zhongshun did not hesitate to mobilize his own soldiers and surround the Quartet......

By the time the officials of the Ministry of Rites rushed to the Sifang Pavilion, none of the members of the Siam and Burmese missions, including the South Vietnamese monkeys, could still stand.

This incident was quite a big incident, and the envoys of the other feudal states of the Sifang Pavilion all hid in the corner tremblingly and did not dare to make a sound, but there were hundreds of people in the capital who were watching the excitement outside the hall.

After the people from the Ministry of Rites said that they would persuade this master to leave, South Vietnam, who did not have a few good teeth left in his mouth, tried his best to say that if Daxia did not give them a satisfactory explanation, he would stop the peace talks and continue to fight.

Not only did the three kingdoms of southern Xinjiang shout one by one for Daxia to uphold justice, but even the envoys of the Wa Kingdom, Goryeo and other countries also shouted one after another, saying that they were frightened and wanted Daxia to compensate.

After Liu Ke, the king of Zhongshun, "leveled" the Sifang Pavilion, he originally wanted to go out of Beijing to hide.

I didn't want to go out of the city yet, but I was caught by Yu Linlang and taken to the Dragon Head Palace, and was hung on the tree before by the saint.

"It's okay, my father is used to it. He was drunk and said that he already had a relationship with the tree, and he had to ask me to worship the tree as his godfather......
