The Rongxi Hall was originally the main hall of the Rong Mansion. In the original work of "A Dream of Red Mansions", from Lin Daiyu's perspective, the Rongxi Hall was the place where official matters were discussed in the Jia Mansion.
Therefore, the angel sent by Emperor Chongping did not deliver the message to Pennine Mansion, but came to Rongguo Mansion.
Of course, if you go to Ning Mansion now, you won't be able to find anyone to take the order.
Jia Heng had just come out of Rongxi Hall and stood under the eaves. He listened to Lin Zhixiao's panic report inside, his face was silent, and he was thinking about the next response.
"Emperor Chongping's imperial edict came so quickly. Apart from severely rebuking the Jia family and convicting Jia Zhen, he hardly thought about it. Whether this would sway Jia Mu's intention to expel her family membership is actually hard to say. It depends on Emperor Chongping's will and the Jia family. The reaction to Emperor Chongping’s will...still requires preparation on both sides.”
Thinking of this, Jia Heng felt that from now on, he should try his best to collect as much information about Emperor Chongping.
In fact, the biggest uncertain factor in his current plan is the emperor.
Not to mention that Tian's heart is unpredictable, even his understanding of the Emperor lacks a three-dimensional understanding.
Although he initially leveraged the emperor's influence with the help of Jingzhao Yinxulu, he was using force to push the boat along. He had no direct contact with the emperor's temperament and his power, so it was difficult to guess.
At this time, in the Rongxi Hall, as the angel arrived, Jia Mu, Jia She, and Jia Zheng all looked at each other and ordered people to prepare the incense case to receive the order.
Speaking of which, the Jia family also accepted the order, and there was no need for the internal supervisor to come in advance to teach them the process of receiving the order.
Not long after, a group of eunuchs wearing brocade robes and black crowns passed through the Yimen of the Jia Mansion and entered the courtyard in darkness. The leader, dressed in brocade robes and eunuchs' crowns, cheered and cheered. , his eyes were indifferent, behind him the inner prisoner held a dragon and phoenix banner, and his retinue was on the left and right.
At this moment, Jia Heng hid under the eaves of the corridor and wanted to leave, but it was too late and he just frowned.
"Everyone in Jia Mansion accepts the order." The leading eunuch is a eunuch from the Daming Palace. He is about thirty years old. He has a fair face, slender eyes, no beard under his chin, a cold face, without a trace of smile, and holds up a The imperial edict was smeared with golden scrolls and embroidered with Ruihe cloud patterns, and shouted in a sharp, feminine voice.
"Jia Zheng, Jia She... take the order." Jia She, Jia Zheng, Jia Lian, Jia Rong and other male members of the Jia family all bowed in unison.
"My wives Jia Shi and Jia Wang... take the order." Jia Mu, Mrs. Xing, Mrs. Wang and others also responded.
With the support of Li Wan and Sister Feng, Jia Mu stepped forward tremblingly. A servant prepared a futon and placed it under the knees of Jia Mu and the female family members.
The eunuch glanced at it but didn't say anything.
At this time, the incense table had been arranged urgently, and everyone in Jia's house knelt down to listen to the holy teachings.
The eunuch unfolded the silk fabric, lowered his eyes, and a soft and sharp voice sounded in the courtyard, "The emperor is destined to be carried by heaven, and he said:... Jia Zhen is a powerful general of the third rank of the imperial court, the leader of the Ning Kingdom, and after the martial arts, he should be The king shared his worries and attacked thieves and bandits. He inherited the legacy of his ancestors and was friendly to his relatives. However, he cherished his heart like a tiger or a wolf. He had no loyalty to the king and lacked the meaning of filial piety and brotherhood. He conspired with thieves and bandits to murder his relatives. He committed evil in the capital and committed crimes. Abducting women and children...According to the law, depriving him of the title of a mighty general, he was summoned to the Jingzhao Yasi and convicted in detail. The Jia clan and the whole clan should be on guard against this evil deed, and serve as a warning to others. "
After the imperial edict was recited, the courtyard in front of Rongxi Hall was completely silent, and you could hear a needle drop.
Jia She and Jia Zheng had earth-colored faces and lowered their heads. Jia Lian's face was pale, and his peach blossom eyes were covered with shock.
As for Jia Mu, who had silver-colored hair on her temples, her old face looked gloomy, her lips were trembling slightly, her eyesight turned black, she couldn't breathe, and there was only one thought in her mind: "The title passed down from our ancestors is lost!"
Not only Jia Mu, but also Jia She also reacted with unspeakable fear in his heart. Has the title of Ning Guo been lost?
The sneer on Sister Feng's lips had completely disappeared, and the sharp and bright Danfeng's eyes were full of disbelief.
No, she must be dreaming...
Li Wan's face was indifferent as she listened to what the imperial edict said. For some reason, she felt a vague sense of familiarity. The words in the imperial edict were just... Jia Heng also said it!
Although the expressions are different, the meanings are quite similar.
Youshi's eyebrows were furrowed, her face was pale, and her lips were slightly pursed. There was a sourness in her eyes under her willow-leaf eyebrows, and her eye circles were a little red.
Her husband... lost his title?
Jia Rong didn't react for a long time. He just heard the words Pian Si Li Liu. He was confused when he heard it, and he didn't understand it to some extent. No, who can tell him what deprivation means?
Why doesn't it sound like a good word?
He understood the details of his crime, but what happened to the title...?
The eunuch combined the imperial edict, sounded a feminine voice, looked at everyone in the Jia family indifferently, and said: "The people of the Jia family, why don't you thank the Lord for your kindness?"
The so-called thunder, rain, and dew are all due to the king's grace. The emperor issued an edict and used thunder to make the mountains shout long live and thank the Lord for his kindness.
Otherwise, it means harboring resentment.
Jia She and Jia Zheng kowtowed and received the imperial edict.
Jia She stepped forward, with a worried look on his face, cupped his hands and said, "Eunuch, where is your Majesty?"
The eunuch shook his head and said: "The power of God is unpredictable, and even the miscellaneous family doesn't know it."
Jia She was anxious and whispered: "Father-in-law, please take a moment to speak and have a sip of tea before leaving."
The internal prison officer obviously hesitated for a moment. At this time, Jia She turned his back to everyone and took out a banknote from his sleeve.
The eunuch's eyes lit up, but he frowned and thought for a while, feeling that the money might not be easy to get. This was the first time he accepted an errand from Eunuch Dai and came out to deliver the order. If he took it and spread it back, I'm afraid...
"It's not a good idea to disturb your house. The Za family has to go back to recover." The eunuch finally cupped his hands and turned to leave.
Looking at the eunuch's retreating figure, Jia She's face suddenly darkened.
Jia Mu had already stood up with the help of Li Wan and Sister Feng. She was in tears and lamented: "Brother Zhen, you have lost your ancestor's title. You have lost it..."
After losing her ancestral title, how could she have the face to meet the ancestors of the Jia family even after a hundred years? Can only cover the face with hair.
Jia She's face turned livid, and he felt irritable for a while.
Jia Zheng looked sad and sighed: "What the Holy Master said just now is almost the same as what Jia Heng said. My nephew has violated the law. The laws of the country are supreme and the emperor will not tolerate him."
When Jia She heard this, his expression suddenly changed. He turned around to look for Jia Heng, and saw the young man in green shirt standing under the eaves of the corridor, staring at him coldly.
Jia She pointed his hand at Jia Heng, feeling a burning anger in his chest, and said angrily: "What a thief!"
For a moment, following Jia She's angry curse, all eyes turned to the young man in green shirt.
Mrs. Xing and Mrs. Wang had cold faces and disgusted eyes.
Li Wan, who was supporting Jia's mother, also looked at the young man with a complex expression, unable to express any emotion in his heart.
Thinking back to the couplet in the study that day when I first met this young man, the words were as sharp as a knife and as sharp as the person.
Sister Feng's gaze under Liu Ye's eyebrows was cold, but there was already a trace of imperceptible fear deep in her eyes.
"Now that things have happened, if you still think that I was the one who sent Jia Zhen to jail for the crime, you are totally wrong! With Jia Zhen's evil deeds, this day is just brought forward. If I really commit a heinous crime and bring down the clan, It's too late to regret it." Facing everyone's gaze, Jia Heng pressed the sword on his waist and said calmly. He looked at Jia She coldly and said in a deep voice: "Set as a warning to others and be careful. The words of the Holy One, The words are still in my ears, I hope you will do well!"
