Red Chamber Fellows: You Are Not Guilty

The queen pondered for a while and said: "I forgot, this Xiande concubine is the eldest girl in the house." Mrs. Xing should have heard the queen say later: "It is because the wife is good at teaching the children, Lian'er is not old, but she serves the country. I have made great contributions to the people, so I was curious to see what kind of wife raised such a good son, and I ignored that there is a girl in the palace."

Mrs. Xing hadn't heard anything yet, but Yingchun understood what the queen meant - she summoned Mrs. Xing and Yingchun, but she didn't make a big show in the palace, but Yuan Chun just happened to meet Mrs. Xing and Yingchun when they entered Fengqi Palace. They must have inquired about the news in private, or they thought it was the Jia family who passed the news into the palace.

Therefore, Yingchun said: "Because the concubine Xiande will visit her relatives, the second wife sometimes asks the concubine Xiande what she likes. My mother and I got the news that we will be able to meet the empress. The nuns are learning the etiquette in the palace, but they forgot to ask the old lady and the second wife if they have any message for the concubine Xiande." Yuan Chun was in contact with the second room and the old lady, and the people in the first room had never contacted the concubine Xiande.

After hearing Yingchun's words, the queen smiled with satisfaction, and asked the maid to call the concubine Xiande to see her.After Yuanchun saluted and greeted her, the queen said to Mrs. Xing and Yingchun: "Please see the concubine Xiande here. There must be some important business. I saw you today. I know that the girl is well-bred, so I don't worry. You go first, there are Kong also brought the girl into the palace to talk to me." Immediately, he arranged for someone to bring Mrs. Xing and Yingchun out, and asked someone to arrange a soft sedan chair to be delivered to the palace gate.

Yuan Chun did not know that Mrs. Xing had been summoned by the queen until she heard the news that Mrs. Wang had sent someone in.She originally looked down on people from the big house, but unexpectedly, first Jia Lian got a real job, then Jia She became the servant of the Ministry of Rites, and then Jia Lian was promoted two ranks in succession due to national meritorious service. The news came that everyone was from the big house Yuanchun couldn't ignore the advancement and promotion.

After hearing the news, Yuan Chun felt happy and sad for a while.The joy is that the former dynasty and the harem have always been integrated, there are people in the court, and the concubines in the palace have their own dignity.The sad thing is that the person who stands in the court is not her father but the man of the big house that she has always looked down upon. Do not believe.

But I heard that when the eldest aunt came to the palace, I should meet up with him out of emotion and reason, so that the queen can see that although the two families are separated, they are still close.Unexpectedly, the empress had guarded against her so far and sent her out of the palace without even being able to find a word to say, and felt bitter for a while.

"Concubine Xiande, please see me at this time, why?" The queen asked knowingly.

Yuan Chun was originally a female official in the Queen's Palace, and she also achieved good things with the Emperor in the Queen's Palace and was able to become a concubine. In my heart, I don't have much respect for the Queen. I feel that the Queen is really powerful. How can I achieve good things by myself, and I don't have any face for the Queen today Annoyed to himself, he blurted out: "I heard that my aunt was summoned by my mother today, and I was thinking about my relatives for a while, so I came to meet my uncle."

Before the queen could answer, the emperor said coldly: "Who did you hear from? The queen just cleaned up the harem, and you are very well informed."

The queen also made the emperor who appeared suddenly jump, and complained: "Why don't you let someone inform you, it scares me."

The emperor said: "I didn't hear you said that you wanted to invite that guy's wife and daughter into the palace. I wanted to see how his wife is, so I came in in a hurry. You don't like to greet and see off, so why do you ask people to report?" "Looking at Yuan Chun who was kneeling on the ground, Fu asked with a cold face: "Who told you that the empress summoned Jia to pardon his wife and daughter?"

Yuan Chun didn't want the emperor to hold on to him, so he had nothing to say for a while.The emperor yelled impatiently: "There are troubles all day long, and it's really in the same line as your parents. The empress still has to check again, even the information in your palace can be found out, she is capable."

At this time, Yuan Zhi, the first-class maid beside the empress, stepped forward and said: "Nurse Kong just told the slaves that it is not appropriate for a court lady to welcome General Jia's wife, and she is not respectful to General Jia's wife, and her words are not careful."

The queen wondered: "Didn't I tell you to find someone suitable to pick him up? I heard that General Jia's wife is a coward. If you speak carelessly, don't scare people."

Yuan Zhi said: "It's Chuntao, the second-class palace maid. The maidservant saw that her legs and feet were quite nimble, but letting her go this time, who knows that she is blind-eyed. Fortunately, she is not too big in front of the two nuns, otherwise It's all the slave's fault."

The emperor smiled: "Such a bastard, madam is a coward, that's a strange thing." Seeing the queen looking at Yuan Chun on the ground, he said again: "The concubine Xiande secretly inquired about the goings-on in the queen's palace. Yue, remove the sign. During this period of time, think about it carefully in Fengzao Palace, so you don’t need to go to the Queen’s place to pay your respects, and your family will not be able to meet you.”

Yuan Chun looked at the emperor in surprise, her favor has always been superficial, and if she wants to withdraw the sign, and cannot go to the queen's palace to pay her respects, fearing that the emperor will think of her again, her heart is disheartened, so she kowtows and confesses: "My lord The concubine realizes the mistake, please Your Majesty show mercy, and ask the empress to show mercy for the sake of my concubine's longing for relatives."

The queen sneered, and said to the emperor: "It's because I didn't clean up the palace thoroughly, that's why she has news to find out, whether it's a fine, or seeing her family, it's better to withdraw the sign." Anyway, the emperor has already hated people , what big waves can be turned up?

The emperor thought for a while and said: "That's good, if their family doesn't make trouble with that guy again, I won't be able to be quiet." Because he said to Yuan Chun: "The concubine Xiande thinks carefully that she can bear the word of being virtuous, and there will be consequences next time." I don't need to say anything. If you still want to send news to your family, you can give it a try. Back off."

Yuan Chun could only kowtow to express his gratitude and retreat, and he could still hear the emperor complaining to the empress: "Why bother begging for her, I don't see her being grateful, maybe I still blame you in my heart."

Because that day Zhongshun came up with his own idea to collect things for Jia She, and felt that Jia She owed him a big favor, so he reported to the Ministry of Rites every day and asked Jia She to take him to watch Prince Ping, who was studying, which made Lin Sheng very annoyed.It is also impossible to drive away the prince of the current dynasty, so he can only report this matter to Lord Shangshu.

Zuo Shangshu also had nothing to do with Zhongshun, he could only try to torment Jia Amnesty, but let him come up with a good way - since the founding of the dynasty, Xungui has always been downgraded to the rank of nobility, but few people have been restructured according to the level, even The same is true of Jia Amnesty himself.It's fine if these people don't change the system, all of them claim to be the glory of their ancestors, and all of them only know how to cause trouble in Beijing, such as bullying others, taking lawsuits, and buying and selling by force.Now that there is a right servant from an honorable background, it is better to let them go to the ring by themselves.Then he asked someone to invite Jia Amnesty, and first asked: "My lord Jia has studied etiquette with Lin Sheng these few days, I wonder if I can gain anything?"

Jia Amnesty replied: "The lower officials are dull, and they don't know the details yet."

Zuo Ji said: "The way of etiquette does not happen overnight, Mr. Jia will surely become the best of the best after a long time. Now there is one thing that cannot be done without the power of adults."

Jia Amnesty and the Shangshu just meet each other and nod each other every day, and just wait for the next article.Zuo Ji went on to say: "Your nobles in Beijing, Mr. Jia must be familiar with them."

The royal family members of this dynasty were knighted as the clan, the generals were knighted as nobles for their duties, and the literati Qingliu were knighted as nobles.However, there were few literati conferring titles, and the clan was managed by the clan mansion. Only when the country was founded and the world was sealed, the military generals were conferred the most.It's just that the dynasty has been in existence for nearly a hundred years, and the veterans at the beginning of the country have long since withered, and most of the descendants have descended to the ranks. Like Jia She's father Jia Daishan, there are very few people who succeeded the ranks.Jia Amnesty didn't know Zuo Ji's intentions, so he could only answer vaguely: "It's not like they are familiar with each other, but it's just that they move around on weekdays and festivals."

Zuo Ji didn't think he was afraid, and said with a smile: "It's always more familiar than us. Now you also know that although many noble families have been downgraded, they are rarely reformed. They all hang the original title plaques. Thinking that I am still the original duke's family, there are many things that are wrong."

Jia Amnesty naturally knew the style of these honorable families, so he didn't take it seriously, but Zuo Ji thought that the person in front of him was also a first-class general, but there was a plaque in his house, so he said apologetically, "Don't worry, Mr. It's not about you alone."

Jia Amnesty had long wanted to change the plaque of Rongguo Mansion, so that prudishness could no longer be regarded as the second master of the Duke's Mansion, and people could truly separate the two families.Yin said: "Your Excellency, you don't need to say more, just talk about the errands of the lower officials."

Zuo Ji was satisfied with Jia Amnesty's attitude, so he spoke more softly: "I just want to ask Mr. Jia to present Youjue's house to He Jue, and to investigate whether the plaque hanging in the house matches the name and reality. The Ministry of Rituals understands the situation, just come up with a charter and present it to the emperor for a decision."

Putting it lightly!Once the emperor wants these families to follow the rules, the investigating Jia Amnesty will become a target of public criticism, not to mention that there is already an old woman in his family who is proud of the Duke's Mansion, so he doesn't need to be cleaned up by outsiders. Don't think about it.With today's temperament of accepting death, it is [-]% for the Xungui family to reform according to the regulations.

If the original owner would definitely not agree to this matter, but Jia She, who had changed the core, could not wait for this—the red building in the later generations has been analyzed badly, and the Jia family was confiscated by the emperor. Wang Bagong is in the same breath, that is, he is courting death nakedly.

Fighting for power with the emperor can be tolerated for a while when the emperor is not firmly seated on the throne. When the emperor is firmly seated in the country, it is just a matter of imperial decree to deal with these people.Didn't you see that the four major families in the original chopsticks were all wiped out.Taking advantage of this opportunity, Jia She was able to completely break with Xungui, not only the emperor was happy to see the success, but Jia She himself also wanted it.

But Jia Amnesty still had a look of embarrassment on his face: "My lord, I'm afraid I'm not up to the job."

Zuo Ji knew why Jia She was in trouble, but he was trying to torment Jia She, and he said firmly: "Master Jia, you and I eat the king's salary, and loyalty to the king is what we should do. You can't use your majesty's grace for your own sake. I don't care about it. Knowing that you are in a difficult situation, don't rush this matter for a while, just do it slowly."

After hearing this, Jia Amnesty was still full of reluctance, until Zuo Ji himself said that Jia Amnesty could investigate casually in Beijing without having to sit on duty, and after there was no time limit, he reluctantly bowed his hand to Zuo Ji: "I can only do my best. Give it a try."
