In addition to the two letters from the Zhen family, there are also several letters whose contents are mostly about exchanges of interests between the Jiangnan clan and others, or simply discussions about dividing the spoils.
Two generations of emperors tried their best to promote the opening of the sea, but the resistance in the court was beyond imagination. In the past, Jia Cong thought that the wealthy Jiangnan families who had made huge profits from smuggling were standing behind the courtiers who opposed the opening of the sea. Now he finally understood that the Kong family in the Holy Land of Shilin was the biggest promoter of this matter.
"There is no content about the White Lotus Sect..."
Jia Cong read the letters in the bag and felt that there were many deficiencies in the contents.
Ordinarily, since the Kong family could deliberately keep these letters, it is impossible not to pay attention to the White Lotus Sect and not even say a word about it, which is abnormal.
He frowned and asked Jia Shiyi where these things came from.
Just listen to Jia Shiyi say: "Xia Jiang said that as soon as he arrived in Qufu, he received a letter saying that there was a secret room hidden under the Confucius Forest, and that all the evidence of the Kong family's crimes was hidden there..."
"So this idiot almost dug up the saint's tomb? He didn't find out who submitted the letter? Could someone else be tricking him?"
Jia Cong looked at the "Jade Seal of the State", the account books and these letters in the bag, and felt more and more confused.
It’s so mind-numbing!
Jia Cong strategically drank tea to clear his mind and carefully pondered the weirdness of this matter.
But Jia Shiyi's face looked a little strange: "In fact, the person who submitted the letter to Xia Jiang was most likely sent by Master Thirteen!"
puff……
After spitting out a mouthful of tea, Jia Cong asked dumbfounded: "How did you know?"
"I didn't know it at first, but Xia Jiang himself said that the person who submitted the letter almost shouted at the wall like an actor, 'I lost a piece of Prince Zhongxin's palace badge... This kind of thing that clearly told others to frame Prince Zhongxin, the whole Daxia Only Mr. Thirteen is the most experienced."
Jia Shiyi smiled bitterly and continued to talk about the reason for his speculation: "This time when I left the capital, Master Thirteen brought a lot of dragon guards with him, but since entering Yanzhou Prefecture, my subordinates have rarely seen these people. . Coupled with Master Thirteen’s dislike of Xia Jiang, he can not only uncover the affairs of the Kong family, but also deceive Xia Jiang and Prince Zhongxin’s family. As long as there is a chance, Master Thirteen can really do it.”
This is the character of this dandy prince, but this time he also tricked Jia Cong.
Jia Cong helplessly held his forehead, but other than that, the "Jade Seal of the Nation" on the table was a nuisance.
Because Taizu was able to recruit capable ministers and generals one after another, the "Jade Seal of the Nation" in his hand was an extremely important factor in bringing him destiny.
So, can the piece he is holding now still be real? Who dares to say it is true?
So distressed~
Jia Cong thought about it for a long time, and finally kept the "Jade Seal of the Kingdom" alone, and ordered Jia Shiyi to take his best hands with him, and quickly send it to Yanzhou to deliver it to the loyal and shun king Liu Ke.
"Little Third Master, this is evidence..."
Jia Shiyi's doubts made Jia Cong cry and laugh again and again. How dare he let this thing appear in front of the world.
The Imperial Seal, what this thing represented was so heavy that even Jia Cong had to take a step back temporarily.
"But I don't dare to show this evidence. I have to erase the traces behind this matter for the Kong family. It's simply more disgusting than swallowing a fly alive. Uncle Eleven, let the brothers keep the secret, and never expose it to others." If word of this gets out, it could lead to the confiscation of homes and the destruction of families."
Things in Qufu County are still fermenting. The Confucius family has been able to stand in Shandong for thousands of years, not just relying on the sign of being descendants of Confucius.
Almost all Shandong is filled with relatives and old friends of the Confucius family, and the network has been extended to the capitals of Gyeonggi, Henan and South Zhili under the rule of Shandong.
In just a few days, many local officials have sent letters to the Chief Envoy. Scholars from all over the country are furious. Many local scholars have set out for Qufu and are asking the Chief Envoy what should the government and county offices do. manage?
what to do? The people in the Chief Envoy Department were also confused. The Kong family actually tied up the head of the Internal Affairs Department and wanted to severely punish Jia Enhou's son?
After reading the official document sent by Jia Cong, Yang Shuzhen, the political envoy from the left of Shandong Province, looked at each other with Chen Baoliang, the envoy for the punishment and inspection.
The two were silent for a long time. Yang Shuzhen pushed the official document back to Chen Baoliang and said worriedly: "Brother Dewen, according to my opinion, we can't get involved in this matter."
"The lower officials also understood what the feudal lord said. But the son of the Jia family said in the official document that he had gone to the capital, and it was inevitable that the heaven would hear about it. If the lower officials did not go, it would be negligence and neglect of the government, and he would not be able to do it. If you do, you will be labeled as a delayer of military aircraft."
The Kong family cannot be offended, and the Jia family cannot be offended, let alone the eunuch involved. Chen Baoliang is in a dilemma.
But Jia Cong specifically wrote in the official document that the memorial would be rushed to the capital for 600 miles, so he had to go even if he didn't want to go.
Yang Shuzhen also laughed bitterly along with Chen Baoliang. The children of the Jia family are really monkey spirits. This is forcing them Shandong officials to take sides.
"In this case, I can only bother Brother Devin to go there..."
Seeing that Chen Baoliang was about to speak, Yang Shuzhen said in his ear: "Brother Dewen only needs to... just do this... let the Jia family kid take the decision in everything. The merits and demerits have nothing to do with me in Shandong, they are all done by the deputy imperial envoy sent by His Majesty."
Chen Baoliang had some doubts: "Fantai, is it really okay for a subordinate to do this? What if he is blamed..."
Yang Shuzhen laughed and said, "To do too much will make you wrong, but to do nothing is good. Over the past thousands of years, the Kong family in Qufu has committed few crimes? But have you ever seen which dynasty or generation really punished the Kong family for their crimes? As long as this world, Nowadays, it’s a world of scholars!”.z.
The matter in Qufu was quickly sent to the capital by Jia Cong six hundred miles away. The Secretary of General Administration only took one look and exploded. There was no conclusion about the trial, so they rushed to write the impeachment memorial, wishing that Xia Jiang Lingchi would be punished. put to death.
As soon as the news spread, hundreds of scholars gathered at the Confucius Temple in the capital half a day later, crying so much that the children playing nearby were so scared that all the children playing nearby hid in their homes.
Xia Jiang dug up Confucius, and everyone in the palace was furious. However, the emperor remained unmoved and did not send out any orders.
Because the emperor looked at the two seals on the table, frowning and remaining silent.
Xia Shouzhong had already kicked out the other servants in the palace and served him carefully.
The atmosphere in the Qinzheng Hall was a bit depressing. The emperor was silent for about a quarter of an hour, and then suddenly burst into laughter.
"I am actually panicking because of a seal. It seems I am not calm enough. My companion, please send this fake national jade seal to the Dragon Head Palace and ask my father to appreciate it."
ah?
"Your Majesty, is this fake?"
The emperor chuckled: "Isn't the jade seal passed down to the country always with the seal official? If this is not a fake, could it be that the one Emperor Taizu got back then was fake?"
It was noisy outside, but the days in Rongguo Mansion were relatively peaceful.
Since the massacre at Baoen Temple on March 3, everyone in Rongguo Mansion has returned to a simple life.
Even so, Rongxi Hall still receives visits from several close female relatives from time to time. Especially in the past two days, Cui Shi, Princess Zhongshun, suddenly sent a message saying that she would come in person today to visit Mrs. Rong Guofu.
The two houses were not very close in the past, and although Liu Ke and Jia She had similar personalities, they still had to avoid the taboos that should be avoided.
The old lady is in much better spirits today. She specially put on her gorgeous clothes and dressed up all the girls in the house beautifully. She is waiting in the Hall of Rongxi to wait for the princess to arrive.
Originally, we had made a reservation that she would come at midnight, but she didn't expect that Princess Cui would arrive late at 3:30 p.m.
"I'm sorry, Madam. Something happened in the house suddenly, which delayed a lot of time and kept Madam waiting for a long time."
Mrs. Cui is known for her well-educated character. As soon as she came to the meeting, she took the lead in giving the old lady a blessing salute as a junior.
The old lady couldn't stand it, so she hurriedly stepped aside to avoid this great gift, and bowed down together with her daughter-in-law and granddaughter.
After some pleasantries, everyone went into the Rongxi Hall and sat down to talk.
Mrs. Cui praised Sanchun, Xiangyun and Daiyu in the house one by one, and gave them gifts one by one, which gave the old lady enough face.
"People in the capital say that the daughters raised by the Dowager are extremely good. Now that I look at them, I wish I could take them all back home and make them my daughters..."
While Mrs. Cui was saying beautiful words, she glanced at Yingchun, giving Yingchun a look of embarrassment.
The old lady is mature and mature. Looking at this scene, she has basically determined the reason why Princess Cui came to the house today.
This is because she is interested in the second girl, but the princess only has the son, and the son is engaged. Could it be that she wants the second girl to be the second concubine for the son of her family?
The old lady didn't think there was anything wrong with it. After all, the second girl was just a concubine...
But Jia Cong would never agree to this. It might turn the house upside down, and he might even knock on the door directly.
The two chatted for a while, and then, under Princess Cui's suggestion, the old lady asked the girls in the house to go out to play, and only Mrs. Xing sat with her.
"The Madam should have noticed that I have fallen in love with your second girl and want to be a matchmaker for her."
Princess Cui's words made the old lady smile bitterly in her heart. She finally said it, but how dare I, an old lady, to respond? I had to find an excuse to decline.
Just listen to Princess Cui say: "Madam, do you still remember the concubine of Duke Li Guofu, who is known in Beijing as the cold-faced gentleman Liu Erlang Liu Xianglian. Now he is already the fifth-grade Qianhu officer of the Royal Guards. He came here two days ago The palace, please ask me to be your lobbyist and propose marriage to you on his behalf."
"Although the old lady is temporarily taking charge of this family, the second girl's marriage still has to be decided by her father. It's better for the princess to wait for my eldest son to return... huh? Who is the princess talking about? Liu Xianglian?"
The old lady thought over and over in her mind how to politely refuse without hurting her feelings. She didn't expect that the person Princess Cui was talking about was not the prince of the palace, but the cold-faced gentleman Liu Xianglian who had just become famous.
Princess Cui nodded, and before the old lady could react, Mrs. And Er Yatou and the others returned to Beijing. Liu Erlang helped send away all the refugees they met on the road."
"What Mrs. Hou said was that that day Liu Erlang got into his thoughts. He was afraid that my fair lady would be asked to leave in advance, so he came to me to beg for a long time."
Princess Cui also covered her mouth and laughed. She seemed to be talking about something interesting to the old lady and Mrs. He was so anxious that he almost came to Rongguo Mansion to ask for his hand in marriage."
If Liu Xianglian really came directly to Rongguo Mansion to ask for marriage, she would be beaten out with a stick by the soldiers of Rongguo Mansion.
That's not getting married, that's enmity.
The old lady thought about Liu Xianglian's life experience. This child was a good child, and his character, talent and learning were among the best in the capital. However, his parents died young and he was a member of the Duke Li's family, so the old lady had many concerns.
"I have met this kid a few times. He is a good friend of my brothers Lian, Cong, and Baoyu. Just considering this, I think he is a good candidate."
Halfway through her words, the old lady said in a rather embarrassed tone: "But since ancient times, parents have ordered matchmakers. If the old lady can't make the decision about the second girl's marriage, she still has to let the eldest brother do it. And if it's a shameful act, the eldest son can do it." I can’t be the master of the second girl’s marriage, in the end it’s up to Brother Cong to make the decision.”
Um?
This time it was Princess Cui's turn to be shocked. If she remembered correctly, this second girl was Jia Cong's sister, right?
Grandma, father and brother are all here, but my sister’s marriage should be decided by my brother? Isn't the old lady just using these words to reject me perfunctorily?
Princess Cui looked a little unhappy, and the old lady naturally understood that there was a misunderstanding.
I saw the old lady sighing and talking about old things with Princess Cui.
"At that time, Brother Cong was three years old. The old woman was busy with the housekeeping and didn't pay attention. His father, that bastard, spent every day drunk. How did he know that he had a son who was so sick that he almost lost his breath? Second girl He was only six years old at the time, and he snatched Brother Cong back from the hands of the King of Hell with spoonfuls of soup and rice porridge."
The old lady blushed as she spoke. It was true that she was busy taking care of the house, but she didn't care about the concubines and grandchildren at home...
Alas, I was so confused at that time that I almost missed the last chance for Rong Guofu to rise again.
Princess Cui was surprised and sighed repeatedly.
She originally thought that the good son who had always been held in the hands of Jia Enhou had grown up in a nest of blessings. She never thought that Jia Cong would have such an experience.
The old lady continued: "So, as long as Brother Dacong can remember, in his heart, no one in the house can surpass his second sister. If the old lady arranges a marriage for the second girl without his consent, I will I'm worried that after he returns to Beijing, he will go and cause trouble in the palace. Not to mention the old lady, even my eldest son can't control him."
hiss!
Princess Cui finally understood the old lady's concerns. Not to mention, if she couldn't satisfy Jia Cong, this guy would definitely do something to cause trouble in the palace.
After all, behind this boy stands his father-in-law, the Supreme Emperor of Longshou Palace!
But while Princess Cui was distressed, she was also overjoyed.
Jia Cong's future is limitless. If he cares so much about his sister, it will be more beneficial to his future if Erlang marries the second girl from Rongguo Mansion.
