dream of red mansion

Chapter 114

Great China, a prosperous and prosperous country!
In Shenjing City, there is an area that symbolizes power and sanctity. In that area, there is a majestic and tall palace, which is even more synonymous with sacredness. A generation of saints lived in it.

Its name is "Daming Palace".

"Returning to the Holy Lord, I obeyed the order and went north to check the frontier. It took more than half a year, and I am coming back today to report."

At this time, in the South Study Room of Daming Palace, King Beijing, who was dressed in a yellow royal robe, greeted respectfully, and replied in a deep voice.

Behind him facing the court case, a majestic bright yellow figure sat high on it. He was flipping through the playbook. Hearing this, he raised his head and looked at Shui Rong, whose face was like beautiful jade and whose eyes were like stars, and said softly:

"It's good to be back, I've worked hard for you in the past six months, please sit down."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

The little yellow door next to him quickly brought a stool from the warm pavilion, Shui Rong made a sound of guilt, and sat on it, raised his head, and waited quietly for the emperor to inquire.

"How is the situation in the north? How many troops have the northern barbarians gathered this time?"

The person who spoke was Emperor Zhengqing, the fourth emperor of the Great Chu, who was not confused in his old age, with thick eyebrows and thin eyes, and a thin face.

Shui Rong said: "Going back to the emperor, there is nothing to worry about in the battle in the north. The three frontier commanders are all veterans in the army. They train their troops day and night. As long as the general of the imperial court arrives, they can go out of the city to wipe out the enemy at any time.

As for the number of enemy troops in the northern barbarians, by the time I left Liaodong, they had more than [-] troops stationed on the northern border of our Great Chu. "

"What are they up to?"

Shui Rong didn't know either. Since the founding of the Great Chu, the Tartar clan has never stopped harassing the border of the Great Chu.However, in the past, thousands of troops at most tens of thousands were sent out to plunder the border of Dachu, and then they would be repelled by the border army of Dachu, and retreated to the white mountains and black waters.

"My minister secretly thinks that they are afraid that they want to imitate their ancestors and intend to plunder our Central Plains with a force of one hundred thousand!"

"Humph!"

Emperor Zhengqing snorted coldly, and said again: "If they think that I, Dachu, is still the weak Mingting, they may have made a wrong calculation!

The Taishang already knew about this matter, and ordered me and the court to wipe out all the invading enemies in Liaodong.

But you don't need to worry about this matter anymore, because of this matter, I made you stay in that bitter cold place for half a year, and you didn't even come back for the Spring Festival, it's because I treated you badly..."

Shui Rong hurriedly got up and said: "It is the duty of ministers to share the emperor's worries!"

Emperor Zhengqing nodded calmly, waved his hands and said: "Sit down, don't be so reserved in front of me! If it comes to the relationship between me and your father, it is beyond the reach of many clan princes and grandchildren! Unfortunately, nowadays He walked away from me first...

Before your father passed away, he entrusted me to take care of you, so I treat you as my child, and I hope you will not be too heretical in front of me. "

Shui Rong's body just sat down, after hearing these words, tears of excitement filled his eyes, and he was about to get up to thank him, but he was looked back with a reproachful look...

So he sat on the stool and said emotionally: "The emperor's great love for my ministers, I can't repay them if I die a hundred times!"

The two monarchs and ministers were talking, the current head of Daming Palace and the confidant of Emperor Zhengqing Dai Quan, the great eunuch, walked up quietly, and whispered to Emperor Zhengqing: "Your Majesty, Wang San is back."

Seeing this, Shui Rong was about to resign, Emperor Zhengqing said: "It's nothing, the Ministry of Rites in Nanjing held a Jiangnan Literature Fair a few days ago, and I also sent people there.

Don't rush away, I still have something to tell you. "

"Yes"

After a while, a eunuch with a low eyebrow and pleasing eyes walked into the south study room, saw the two people sitting in court, and quickly knelt down to salute:
"The slave has met the emperor and the prince of Beijing"

Emperor Zhengqing said: "Get up, how is the situation of the Jiangnan Cultural Association?"

Therefore, Wang San briefed Emperor Zhengqing on the important and important situation of the Jiangnan Literature Society, and finally said: "This time, the slave also brought all the shortlisted works of the Literature Society back to Beijing. Do you want the emperor to review it?"

"Forget it, you pick two good ones and talk about them."

Emperor Zhengqing said so, and then said to Shui Rong: "I know you usually like this way, so just listen to it together."

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your love."

Seeing that Emperor Zhengqing was in a good mood, and relying on himself as the emperor's confidant, Wang San couldn't help becoming more courageous, and said empty-handedly: "If you want to talk about this literary conference, there are certainly many good works. Most of them are the same things, and the emperor will definitely not take them seriously. But if the slaves say one thing, they will definitely make the emperor happy!"

Emperor Zhengqing is really in a good mood. The army going north has already moved out. I believe that with the strength several times that of the enemy and strong logistics, he will definitely be able to repel the invading enemy, and maybe even completely wipe out the vassal of the dynasty. The gangrene of the bones, expanding the territory...

In this peaceful and difficult year, this is the dream of all emperors!
So, when he heard the words, he just laughed and scolded: "You dog slave, you still beat me up! Why don't you tell me quickly, if it's not like what you said, take care of your skin!"

Seeing this, Wang San felt relieved, but he didn't dare to do it again, and said bluntly: "..."

……

Rongguo Mansion, Lin Daiyu's room.

After lunch, Jia Baoyu took a nap, then ran to Daiyu's room to play.

At this time, the two cousins ​​were sitting next to the chessboard and playing chess.

Lin Daiyu holds the white stones, and Jia Baoyu holds the black stones.

There is not even a servant girl standing in the room, only the occasional sound of the two playing chess.

"What are you thinking, it's your turn!"

Suddenly, Lin Daiyu urges Jia Baoyu, who has been thinking for a long time but still refuses to give up.

Jia Baoyu came back to his senses, only to realize that he was distracted, so he dropped a child at will, and said: "It's nothing, just counting the days, the second brother should be back."

Lin Daiyu didn't answer the words, she thought for a moment and said, "You lost again."

Jia Baoyu looked down, and sure enough, his mob had been surrounded by Lin Daiyu's "delicate soldiers and strong generals", and they were helpless.

"If you lose, you lose! In terms of chess skills, I am no match for my sister...

Hehe, it's interesting to say that my second brother's chess skills are even worse than mine!Among the sisters and brothers in Manfu, I probably can only bully him, haha. "

"Brother Bao is so ashamed, why don't you compare the scriptures with the second brother..."

Lin Daiyu originally wanted to laugh at Jia Baoyu and had no other intentions.It's just that as soon as the words came out, she felt a little regretful. After coming for more than half a year, how could she not know what kind of temperament Jia Baoyu is.

Sure enough, when Jia Baoyu heard the words "Jingyi Article", his face became a little unhappy. Fortunately, in front of this fairy-like sister Lin, he immediately withdrew his expression and preached:
"My sister is as clean as ice and water, don't be fooled by those bastard books outside! Those words are the most unreasonable, they are made by those poor literati who read and read to fool the world, and they can't justify themselves , let alone Anmin governing the world!

The second brother was just forced by his uncle, so he had no choice but to learn those bastard books. "

Lin Daiyu didn't know whether to believe it or not, she pursed her lips and asked, "Then if the second uncle also forces you to study those books, what will you do?"

"This…!"

Jia Baoyu was speechless for a moment.

Every time he saw Jia Zheng, Jia Baoyu would be taught a lesson and asked him to learn from Jia Qing.Last time, Jia Zheng also said that he would send him to the Guozijian to study with Jia Qing, which really scared his three souls away, and made his seven souls fall back to six souls.

Now Lin Daiyu's words just hit his weakness, and he was stunned on the spot at a moment's loss.

When Daiyu saw his scene, she knew it, she turned her eyebrows, she got up and walked to Jia Baoyu, and said in a low voice: "I will tell you a way...

You just go to your ancestors and say that you don't want to part with them and don't want to go outside to study.Once the ancestor is happy, he can keep you to continue studying in the mansion.

In this way, you will be safe.Uncle never refuses to listen to the words of the ancestors. "

When Jia Baoyu heard the words, he turned his worries into joy, and thought it was a good strategy!Moreover, Sister Lin was able to give him advice, which made him inexplicably delighted, and exaggerated: "Well, my sister really deserves to be Zhuge alive, brother Yu is not as good as it!"

"Hmph, who cares about doing Zhuge alive! That's what you men think about."

Obviously, Lin Daiyu is not happy to be a female Zhuge.

Jia Baoyu realized what was on his mind, and his thoughts began to come alive again, saying:
"Sister, have you heard?"

Lin Daiyu sat back in her original position, fiddled with the pieces on the chessboard, and replied casually, "What did you hear?"

Jia Baoyu said a little angrily: "I don't know who are not doing business, picking people's mistakes, spreading nonsense everywhere, saying that the second brother's name does not conform to the law of the ancestors and should be abolished, and what's more, they say Uncle named him like this because he disregarded the etiquette of the ancestors and said that the second brother is not a member of the Jia family!

Are you angry or not?This name is just a person's code name. How can there be any reason to drive someone out of the mansion just because of a name?Isn't this putting the cart before the horse? "

Recently, there has been an uproar in the two houses, and Lin Daiyu has naturally heard about this matter, but she thinks it deeper than Jia Baoyu, knowing that this is not a small matter, and they still can't get in the way.

"This kind of matter is decided by the elders. Even if you are dissatisfied in every way, it is best not to talk about it when you leave this door, otherwise, even the old lady will be unhappy!"

The rest of Jia Baoyu didn't care about it, but when he heard that Jia's mother might also be dissatisfied, he put away his thoughts.In the end, he could only secretly complain about Jia Qingming, and there was nothing he could do about the rest.
