The Red Chamber: My Stunning Confidante with a Variety of Styles

Back in time a little.

Capital, Chu Mansion.

Chu Liang, a scholar of Zhongji Hall, sat in the study with his eyes closed, looking extremely quiet.

But his trembling eyebrows showed that his heart was far from being as calm as he appeared.

Yes, how could he be calm? As a bachelor, he was the head of civil servants and Zhao Qi's most reliable courtier.

But at this time, when faced with the siege of the rebels, he couldn't do anything.

Hearing that the shouts of killing gradually weakened, he knew that the victory and defeat had been decided, and the destruction of the city was imminent.

With a long sigh, he stood up, put his last family letter on the table, and then left the study room, heading straight for the imperial city.

He is old and can't fight the enemy, what he can do is to say a few words of justice.

Yes, to be fair.

He knew very well that once the rebels broke through the imperial city, Zhao Qi would die.

He can die with Zhao Qi, but before he dies, he wants to make it clear to them:

Jia Jue can't be killed.

He is too important to the whole world and to the people.

With him alone, the Han people could have no worries about food and clothing for thousands of years.

He is the pillar of the country!

……

Capital, Meng Mansion.

Meng Yuan, Shangshu of the Ministry of War, put on his armor, rode a horse and went out in the tears of his wife and children.

He is no longer young, he is so old that he can't even lift a knife, but he still chooses to go to the imperial city.

He knew he was going to die on this trip, but he did it anyway.

For the integrity in my heart, for the loyalty in my heart.

In fact, the change of dynasty did not have a great impact on him. No matter who became the emperor, he would be used, and he would still occupy a high position.

What he wanted to do was to try his best to protect Jia Jue once.

Yes, protect Jia Jue.

These rebels raised their troops under the name of "except for Jia Jue, Qing Jun's side", not to mention the rest of the people, Jia Jue will definitely die.

But he knew very well that Jia Jue was not only innocent, but also a great hero and benefactor of the whole world.

So far, everything he has done is beneficial to the country and the people of the world.

His potatoes and the upcoming severe winter rice are all good deeds that benefit all people and countless living people!
He is a peerless national scholar!

He can die, but Jia Jue cannot die.

……

National Supervisor.

After the battle between the Beijing Camp and the Forbidden Army started, the students of the Imperial Academy spontaneously gathered in the square.

And here is where Jia Jue and Ruan Qing used to compete.

Hearing that the battle was getting more intense, someone finally stood up.

"Students, do we really want to watch the rebels invade the imperial city with our own eyes and do such injustice?"

"Could it be possible that we really want to watch the rebels murder His Majesty with our own eyes and remain indifferent?"

"Could it be possible that we really want to watch the traitor kill the heroes of the ages with our own eyes, and turn a blind eye?"

This person is Senior Brother Song who was once defeated by Jia Jue.

He looked at the crowd and shouted excitedly:

"Scholars of my generation should think of loyalty to the emperor and patriotism! But at this moment, rebels are about to break through the imperial city, and His Majesty is in danger! Where is our 'loyalty'?"

"At this time, the rebels will kill Rong Guogong. Once Rong Guogong dies, the people in the world will suffer! What about the 'country' we love?"

This series of questions caused all the students to show indignation on their faces, yes, the emperor died, they lost their integrity, Jia Jue died, and all people in the world suffered.

How could they just sit back and watch all this happen?

"Save the imperial city! Stop the rebels!"

At this time, someone finally stood up and shouted such a slogan.

This person was Ruan Qing who had competed with Jia Jue.

Since losing to Jia Jue, he has restrained a lot, and his personality has changed a lot. After Jia Jue has done a lot of great things, he regards Jia Jue as a role model.

Brother Song and Ruan Qing were both very popular in the Imperial Academy. With their leadership, the students of the Imperial Academy all headed towards the imperial city.

Watching the excited students leave, Liu Yang on the side sighed deeply, and asked Sun Yi, who was beside him at the Guozijian Jijiu:

"Master Sun, why don't you stop me?"

Sun Yi shook his head: "Why do you want to stop? Why do we study hard for the sages?"

"For the benefit of all the people, and to help the country." Liu Yang replied without hesitation.

Sun Yi nodded slowly: "That's right, saving Duke Rong will benefit the people of the world, and stopping the rebels is helping the country. If that's the case, why stop them?"

Liu Yang bowed: "My lord said yes, I understand."

Sun Yi straightened his clothes and walked out with a solemn face.

"Where are you going, my lord?" Liu Yang asked hastily.

"Follow the students to the imperial city."

Liu Yang followed immediately: "I'm going too!"

……

In the suburbs of the capital, Lijiazhuang.

boom!
Li Er ruthlessly smashed the wine jar in his hand, picked up the harpoon at the side, and was about to walk out.

His wife grabbed him and cried, "You can't go!"

The veins on Li Er's forehead popped up, and he shouted at his wife, "Let go! I'm going to save Mr. En!"

"I won't let you go! The anti-thieves are so numerous and powerful that they kill without blinking an eye. If you go, you will die in vain!" the wife cried.

Li Er was furious: "Stupid woman! Have you forgotten that your parents and I are both in Heyuan County? If it weren't for Mr. Engong's son Di, they would have starved to death long ago! Have you forgotten that you and I are poor and have no food to eat? If it weren't for the potatoes, you and I would have starved to death!"

"But..." The wife was taken aback, and wanted to defend herself.

But Li Er pushed her away, and scolded: "Let go! Your whole family's life was saved by benefactor, now he is in trouble, if we don't save him, how are we different from animals?"

After finishing speaking, he strode towards the door.

"Wait!" His wife yelled hastily.

"Why, do you still want to stop me?" Li Er said angrily.

"No, I'll go with you," said the wife.

Li Er looked at her and nodded heavily: "Okay! Together! If you want to kill your benefactor, kill us first!"

……

Imperial City, Hall of Mental Cultivation.

Zhao Qi sat on the chair and finished reviewing the last memorial.

"How's the situation outside?" He put down the memorial and asked Liu Tian beside him.

Liu Tian replied: "Your Majesty, the other party has strong support, and there are no guards in ten, and the infantry battalion has lost all casualties."

Zhao Qi closed his eyes, then opened them again, and said lightly: "I understand. Pass on my will, after the city is broken, there is no need to resist, just beg for surrender on the spot."

"Your Majesty! This old slave can desperately send His Majesty out of the palace! I hope His Majesty will not be discouraged!" Liu Tian knelt down and cried.

Zhao Qi shook his head, got up and walked out: "No need, I'll wait for them at the Jinluan Palace."

"Your Majesty!" Looking at his back, Liu Tian cried loudly.

"Use all means to protect Jia Jue, this is the last thing I can do for this world." Zhao Qi said lightly, and walked out.
