The decree was announced by the prince himself in the evening, and it was soon spread to all parts of the capital by the spies who had been watching the Jia family.

Grandma Rong of Ningguo Mansion has been recorded in the Royal Jade Butterfly, and she has clearly told the world that people are now the tip of the emperor's heart, and none of the rumors that spread before can still sit with peace of mind.

It's almost curfew time, but the capital is unusually lively.

For example, when night falls in Nanchifang City, there are already several small groups, large and small, secretly gathered in one place.

They are no longer discussing any conspiracy, but huddling together to keep warm.

After all, compared to the current emperor who is quite reasonable, the old sage of Longshou Palace is really capable of killing people.

Most of these people are from Shilin, or low-ranking officials in the court, with some fame and power, but they are far from the point where they can understand the secrets of the royal family.

So when the holy decree sealed in the palace was sent to the Jia family ancestral hall, these people's legs and stomachs were trembling.

It's over, the Nine Clans are not guaranteed!

"Brother Cong'er......"

After the dinner in Ning Guofu, Jia Cong and Daiyu walked back to the house.

Baoyu ran over panting and called out to Jia Cong.

Jia Cong looked back curiously, only to see Baoyu peeking at Daiyu, and stopped squirming and squirming.

It was the first time for Daiyu to see Baoyu like this, and although she was curious in her heart, she still nodded to Jia Cong and took the maid to Xifu first.

After Daiyu left, Baoyu actually breathed a sigh of relief, pulled Jia Cong aside, and only then said when there was no one around: "Brother Cong, there is something I want to ask you to help with......

……

On summer nights, even though there is a curfew in the capital, you can still feel people's restless hearts.

Jia Cong and Baoyu rode forward, and in the courtyard with the gate closed, the sound of laughter and quarrels was endless.

But tonight, they were in no interest.

"Brother Cong, it's here!"

Baoyu led Jia Cong all the way to the south to the south of Yibeifang.

A small courtyard with two entrances, shaded by lush trees, is extraordinarily inconspicuous.

Jia Cong had a not-so-good idea in his heart, pressed Baoyu's shoulder, and said very seriously: "Second Brother Bao, you shouldn't have an outer room, right?" Listen to my advice, there are enough flowers and plants at home, let's not want those women outside who don't know the roots......"

Yes?

"What are you talking about?"

Baoyu was stunned for a moment, and then her face turned red, not ashamed, but angry.

He stomped his foot and retorted angrily: "Am I that kind of person? How could I do such a thing? ”

Jia Cong really wanted to reply to the word, but after thinking about it, it seemed that Baoyu was lustful and lustful, and he really couldn't do such an outrageous thing.

It just so happened that the door of the small courtyard creaked open, and the head poking out of the crack in the door startled Jia Cong.

"Sister Xianglan? How could you be in the capital? ”

……

Jia Cong looked at Shi Xianglan and Shi Xianggui, who were sitting opposite, and felt that their brains were about to explode.

Shi Xianglan is okay, Shi Xianggui appeared in the capital at this time, and it was a bomb that could kill the nine clans of the Shi family at any time.

The emperor's original treatment of the Shi family was already in the face of the Jia family and the old lady, and he dealt with it lightly.

The male members of the Shi family were exiled, and the female dependents were settled back to their hometown in Jinling by the Jia family.

But how dare Shi Xianggui return to Beijing without permission? What is this not disobedience?

"Second Brother Bao, when did you know that their sister and brother returned to Beijing? Why didn't you tell me sooner? ”

Jia Cong didn't have to think about whether anyone knew that these two people had returned to Beijing, and there were no secrets in the palace, just so many eyes and ears staring at the Jia family all over the capital, what secrets could Baoyu keep?

Don't think about it, I'm afraid that the masters of the Ning Rong Mansion are the last people to know about this matter.

Baoyu didn't respond yet, but Xianglan opened her mouth first.

"Brother Cong, Baoyu is not to blame for this, Xianggui and I only returned to Beijing a few days ago. I wanted to go to the house to ask my aunt and grandmother for help, but ...... You also know Brother Gui'er's situation, I am afraid that taking him over will bring trouble to my aunt and grandmother and you. ”

Shi Xianglan is quite cautious, but it's really not much.

Jia Cong sighed and said with a wry smile: "Brother Gui returns to Beijing, no matter whether he goes to the mansion to see the old lady or not, trouble can't be avoided." ”

After all, the old lady's surname is Shi, and with the relationship between the Jia and Shi families, Shi Xianggui, a child less than ten years old, can return to Beijing from Lingnan without permission, and anyone can think of the Jia family.

Shi Xianggui should have suffered a lot, the noble son of the Houmen at the beginning is now black and thin, and the new clothes on his body are obviously wider, like a big cloth bag on a bamboo pole......

"Brother Gui'er was stuffed into a sea ship by his father and sent to Jinling. Originally, there was a secret letter, hidden in Gui Ge'er's clothes......"

When Xianglan saw Jia Cong, it was like seeing a savior, she took a shabby dress, and when she tore it open, there was a sealed letter.

Jia Cong took the letter and looked at it, and his heart was irritable again.

"Sinner Shi Nai, Your Majesty personally revealed!"

This is Shi Nai's secret recital to the emperor, Jia Cong pressed the irritability and curiosity in his heart, and stopped the urge to open the letter.

He looked at the Xianglan sisters and brothers and asked, "What happened to my uncle?" Why did you suddenly write this secret recital to Your Majesty? Do you know the contents of the letter? ”

As soon as she asked this, Xianglan's eyes immediately turned red, and Xianggui even cried.

"My father was killed! The second brother is also dead, Gui Ge'er can live, or his father promoted a hundred households before, he secretly found a maritime merchant and stuffed Gui Ge'er into the boat......"

Xianglan's words were scattered, and Jia Cong couldn't figure out what was going on.

Fortunately, there was still a letter from Shi Nai in Xianglan's hand, and Jia Cong took it and read it, so he breathed a sigh of relief.

But he felt more pain in his brain!

What is going on, none of these relatives of the Jia family can make people worry.

"Uncle should still be alive......"

This pair of sisters and brothers is also really, the younger one can only understand if he is ignorant, Xianglan is sixteen years old, how can he not even have any analytical ability.

Shi Nai was exiled to Lingnan and became a criminal minister, but as long as Ning Rongjia's family was there, even if the person died, Lingnan would have to send a letter to Beijing to report the news, and he would have to explain the cause and effect in detail to the official document of the imperial court.

Now, whether official or private, there is no news from Lingnan, which proves that Shi Nai is okay for the time being.

However, his condition should not be very good, and it can even be said that he is on the verge of death all the time.

"Sister Xianglan, the family has not received a funeral report from Lingnan, and there is no news from the imperial court, which proves that my uncle and they are still alive......"

Jia Cong's words were like a shot in the arm, which made the Xianglan sisters and brothers, who were about to cry and be paralyzed, raise their heads suddenly, and stared at Jia Cong tightly with red and swollen eyes, wanting to seek comfort and peace of mind from him.

Baoyu had already understood the meaning of Jia Cong's words, slapped his forehead, and breathed a long sigh of relief.

"Look at my brain, why did I forget about this stubble! I was so scared that I didn't dare to say anything to anyone, for fear that the ancestors would not be able to stand it if they found out! ”

This is why Baoyu twisted and pinched and insisted on pulling Jia Cong to come here secretly, he didn't trust Master Zheng, he only felt that Jia Cong had the ability to deal with this matter.

The old lady is old, and if she knows that her second nephew was killed by her third nephew, she is afraid that she will really be angry to death.

Jia Cong rolled his eyes at Baoyu, people are alive, but if they tell the old lady about this matter, it is estimated that it will be enough to choke people to death.

Who would have thought that Shi Ding, the third elder of the Shi family who was exiled to Lingnan, was still unwilling, and had to collude with Shui Rong Na and the careerists in the south, wanting to use the power of the Southwest Tusi to rebel.

It is a bit insulting to say that it is a rebellion, but anyone with a long brain should be able to see that the last thing the court is afraid of is to use a knife and a handle.

The soldiers in the Beijing camp have been suffocating their illness for the past two years.

Which one doesn't want to make meritorious service and wants to go crazy, screaming every day. As far as the southwest toast is concerned, it is not enough for this group of people.

However, Shi Nai's situation is really not optimistic, Shui Rong actually left a shadow in Lingnan early, and the commander of Guanghaiwei, Zhou Yunchao, turned out to be the internal response of the Shui family.

Compared to Shi Ding's madness, Shi Nai is much wiser.

He promised Zhou Yunchao on the surface, and he and Shi Ding wrote letters to the Tusi of Guangxi, Guizhou, and Yunnan.

secretly begged Guanghaiwei and a hundred households, and stuffed his youngest son Shi Xianggui with a secret letter into the northbound sea ship......

According to Shi Nai's letter to his wife, for the sake of his wife, children and the lives of the Shi family, he will not be a disobedient thief, and will completely cut off from Sanfang.

Therefore, he and his son's lives should not be saved.

Fortunately, he promoted a hundred households in the early years ago, giving his youngest son a chance to escape, and he should not be out of incense......

"I don't even know what to say, is Shi Ding brainless? Shui Rong himself ran to the country of Wa and stole his life, what did he go crazy with? ”

Jia Cong really wanted to pry open Shi Ding's skull to take a good look at what the hell was containing, and he actually came up with something that was against him.

There is an old lady in the Shi family, even if he is exiled to Leizhou, he doesn't have to suffer anything, he has to live a good life, and after more than ten years, when the prince ascends the throne, he will be amnesty to the world, can't he go back to his hometown in Jinling or return to Beijing?

Rebel against water? People are dissolved in the country of the Japanese and now they are the kings of the gods!

Shi Nai's letter to his wife and daughter didn't explain much, and Jia Cong didn't have the courage to open the secret letter to the emperor.

He paced back and forth in the room anxiously, and it took a long time to slap the table in the expectant eyes of the Xianglan sisters and brothers.

"I can't be the master of this matter, you go home with Baoyu first......"

Baoyu hesitated and said, "But what about the old lady?" If the old lady knew about this, I am afraid that she would not be angry. ”

Jia Cong also has a headache about this, this matter must not be hidden, but the old lady is old, if she knows that the third turtle grandson of the Shi family is going to rebel against Shui Rong, her soul will be scared.

According to the system, rebellion is to punish the nine clans, and the Jia family is within the scope of the nine clans.

"Let Sister Xianglan and Brother Gui go to live in my Hou Mansion first, how can I live in Nancheng? It is estimated that as soon as their sister and brother entered the capital, many people knew about it. ”

Jia Cong put away the two letters and waved at the door.

"Uncle Eleven, you take Second Brother Bao and their sisters and brothers back to the Hou Mansion to settle down, don't disturb the old lady. Then I went to find Sister Lin and said that I would go to the palace for a ......"

……

After the palace gate was locked, there was nothing earth-shattering, and no one could call the door open. Jia Cong entered the basket and was carried up by the forbidden army on the city tower.

The emperor was waiting for Jia Cong in the Qinzheng Palace, and after reading Shi Nai's secret letter, his face was very bad.

"His original title was given to him by his father to resist the criticism of the court, even if he made a mistake and brought huge losses to the court, I still look at the face of the late Shi Gong, for the face of your old lady, extrajudicial kindness, did not ask for his head, he repaid me like this......"

Boom!

In the end, the emperor didn't hold back, if it weren't for the fact that the paperweight was made of wood, it would probably have been broken into eight petals.

Jia Cong asked tentatively: "Your Majesty, did Shi Nai's letter say that Shui Rong and Shi Ding are going to do it?" ”

"What else can be done? Rebel! ”

Belch......

The emperor's anger was indeed quite terrifying, but Jia Cong had to speak again: "To be honest, the national dynasty is no longer afraid of any threat under the leadership of His Majesty's wise and martial arts. Not to mention that Shui Rong is still a wild monkey in the Wa Kingdom, even if he returns to Great Xia, he will not be able to stir up any storms. They want to unite with the Tusi to rebel, which is a big joke in the eyes of the minister! ”

"Heh......"

The emperor glanced at Jia Cong: "You don't know it's a joke?" But that would put me in trouble! ”

The four words of wisdom and martial arts made the emperor very useful, he was angry, and he still accepted Jia Cong's opinion.

In terms of the current strength of the imperial court, let alone a water solution, that is, let the original four kings with different surnames live, and at the same time, rebellion will not make the court have much turmoil.

Today is different from the past, and now Daxia is not afraid of any threat!

However, this matter involves those Tusi in the southwest, and the imperial court is deeply implementing the reform of the land and returning to the stream, at this time, the water dissolves and let Shi Ding use the old relationship of the Shi family to win over, which will indeed cause great trouble to the implementation of the imperial court's reform and return to the stream.

Unless, the court can be ruthless and use swords.

"Less than half of the land reform and return to the stream, there was a secret performance on the side of the Dragon Guard, those Tusi officials didn't trust the court very much, the late Shi Gong and Lao Li Guogong had been running the southwest for many years, if Shi Ding took advantage of this to move those Tusi and raise troops against the imperial court, I would have to use troops."

If you fight a war, you will die, and if you fight a war, you will spend money, and if you fight, you will slow down the pace of the imperial court's reform......

Either way, the emperor didn't want to see it.

The situation on the south-west side is complicated, and it's really troublesome.

"It's better to let the minister's brother-in-law, Liu Xianglian, the first-class son of the Liguo Mansion, go. Shi Ding is just a criminal minister, and the minister's brother-in-law is a first-class son personally appointed by His Majesty. Thinking about it, those Tusi also understand the difference in strength between them and the imperial court, what they want is nothing more than money and power, let's give it to him......"

The reason why those Tusi officials resisted the imperial court's policy of changing the land and returning to the river was, to put it bluntly, that they were worried that they would lose the power that had been inherited for hundreds of thousands of years.

Another is that for all dynasties, the Central Plains Dynasty has guarded against and suppressed discrimination in the southwest minority areas.

The difference between Huayi is very simple in Jia Cong's opinion, Shaomin is also a Chinese people, the Yellow Emperor and Chiyou, aren't they both Chinese ancestors?

In this way, as long as the Tusi officials are willing to respect the emperor as the lord of the world, the court will give them no power, and the Tusi will become a county order, and the court will send adjutants to assist and implement the orders of the court one by one, so that the young people in the southwest can integrate into the big family of the dynasty.

In less than ten years, there will be no more barriers in the world, what Tusi is divided, what Shaomin Han people, all of them are the people of Daxia, the people of the emperor!

Sure enough, it was yang, with a high fever, and it hurt in the cracks of the bones.

I hung water in the hospital, dizzy and slept for two days, and today I am much better, and I began to recover and update......
