dream of red mansion

Chapter 793 Getting Married?

The Mei family, the fourth generation and the third Hanlin, can be described as a veritable scholarly family.

The so-called Hanlin refers to the origin.

In the three-year imperial examination, nearly [-] Jinshi are generally selected.Among them, there are three in the first class, about seventy in the second class, and all the rest are in the third class.

As for the Hanlin Academy, those who are not ranked in the top two are not allowed to enter.

Therefore, the Hanlin Academy was also called the cradle of Zaifu, which shows its nobility.

Now the master of the Mei family was born in the Hanlin Academy, and now he has been an official to the Shaoqing of Guanglu Temple. Although his rank is not high, only from the fourth rank, he is already the second head of a government yamen.

However, three days ago, the Mei family suffered a major change, and the eldest son whom the Mei family placed high hopes on died!

As for why he died, no one knows, and the servants of the Mei family are also tight-lipped!
"Master, can this really work? Rumor has it that Marquis Ning dotes on his wife of the Xue family. Now that we do this, if Xue's family goes to Jia's to complain and angers Marquis Ning, why don't we lift a stone?" Smash yourself in the foot?"

In the main hall of the Mei family, a woman said to a man in official uniform with tears in her eyes.

"What do you know? If you don't do this, our family will be ruined! You can hide the matter of Mo Feng from the neighbors, do you really think you can hide it from the court?

Now we can only climb up the big tree of the Jia family. Your Majesty and the imperial court will let our Mei family be spared for the sake of the Jia family!

Also, he is now Duke Ning, don't call him Marquis Ning anymore! "

The man in the official uniform was the master of the Mei family, he scolded the woman with a cold face.

"Master, the girl from the Xue family is here!" The butler ran over and said.

The master of the Mei family immediately ordered: "Hurry up and send it to the mourning hall, and the gift will be made quickly!"

Baoqin's little heart was thumping.

He had heard from his father and mother before that the Mei family in Jingzhong was an extremely noble family.

Later, when I arrived in the capital, I heard that the son of the Mei family had already won the Juren at a young age, and he might become the fourth Hanlin of the Mei family!

Although Baoqin has been traveling with her father in various places since she was a child, and has seen many exotic scenes, her vision is much more open than that of ordinary Central Plains girls.

But she is now thirteen or fourteen years old, with a cardamom-like age, and she is also full of longing for her future husband.

If only he was as good as his brother-in-law. Half as good.

Unfortunately, today's sedan chair was not picked up by him personally.

Baoqin was slightly disappointed.

Since watching her sister Baochai's wedding a few days ago, seeing her brother-in-law riding a tall horse, wearing red ribbons, carrying her sister into the sedan chair, she has been envious.

But his aunt told him that the Mei family is a scholarly family with the most important rules and etiquette, so the brothers in the clan will welcome the bride on their behalf.

The sedan chair passed through the square market and gradually entered a quiet environment.

Baoqin was a little curious, quietly lifted some hijabs, and looked out through the curtains.

Didn't the eldest cousin say that the Mei family is already planning the wedding? Why is it so quiet?Baoqin had a doubt in her heart.

Finally the sedan chair stopped, and Baoqin breathed a sigh of relief when she saw the gate of Xue's house.

She finally saw the red silk that represents celebration
After a while, the sedan chair was lifted up again, and carried directly into the mansion, and passed through several doors, and finally heard a voice: "Let the sedan chair~"

"Ask the bride to get off the sedan chair"

Baoqin's complexion was hot, and she twitched again and again, and finally lifted her skirt slightly and stepped out of the sedan chair.

There are many people around.
Suddenly, Baoqin, who had only taken two steps, stopped.

With the red hijab covering her, everything she sees has red shadows, and she can't distinguish the color clearly.However, inside the opposite gate, the big "Dian" character is particularly dazzling.

Isn't today her day of great joy?

On the tower, Jia Qing and Wang Ziteng stood side by side.

"No wonder you spent the past two years disregarding the impeachment of the courtiers, and devoted yourself to developing this firearm. I didn't expect their power to reach such a level.

After three days, King Ni suffered a lot, but our side did not suffer much casualties.No wonder, if His Majesty wants to disregard the objections of the cabinet ministers and hand over all the power in the city to you, I am afraid that he knows the power of these firearms. "

Wang Ziteng sighed a little.

He is Jia Qing's elder and a Taiwei.Now, he has become Jia Qing's deputy, assisting him in defending the city.

Even if he knew that this deputy was only temporary, after the rebellion was suppressed, Jia Qing would still be his subordinate.

Although Jia Qing's rank is higher than him, and his status is also Sangong, his status is even higher than that of Taiwei.But the Taiwei of this dynasty is a real job, and the Taibao is a false job.

Jia Qing's actual position is the Jingying Jiedu envoy, which belongs to the military officer, and the Taiwei is the head of the military officer.

Thinking of this, Wang Ziteng felt a little bit sad.

The old man has been advising him as an elder for many years, and in just a few years, he has climbed up to the old man?

Jia Qing smiled in his heart, Emperor Zhengqing didn't look at the firearms, but the civil and military men of the Manchu Dynasty, and there were only a few people he could really trust.

In addition, he had already taken control of the situation before he woke up, and Emperor Zhengqing directly increased his authority with his attitude of being more stable than ever.

In addition, by the way, pave the way for his youngest son, Chujun, who may appear in the future. Of course, this cannot be clearly stated.

"As my cousin saw, such things as swords, guns, swords and halberds are the basic weapons of the great Chu country, but in front of firearms, the disadvantages are quite obvious.

Now the firearms in my hands are very poorly developed. In the near future, the weapons, guns, swords and halberds in the Department of Armaments and the workshop of the Ministry of Industry will be completely eliminated! "

Jia Qing spoke eloquently.

Wang Ziteng narrowed his eyes.

completely eliminated
He didn't know whether Jia Qing's words were serious or casual.If you are serious, then
Among the many military systems in Dachu, only the Beijing camp has heavy firearms.If the cold weapons such as knives, guns, swords and halberds are really eliminated, wouldn't it be that the Jingying family is the only one?
If that was the case, would Jia Qing's influence be too terrifying?

"Qing'er, the more you are on the cusp of the storm, the more careful you must be. The holy family is never something that lasts forever," Prince Teng said quietly.

Jia Qing was taken aback.Knowing that Wang Ziteng must have heard the news, I specially reminded him to prevent him from getting carried away.

"Thank you cousin for reminding me, my nephew will save me."

I sighed slightly in my heart.Emperor Zhengqing's holy family, even if he wanted to maintain it, it would be difficult.

In the words of an imperial physician, even a young person who vomited blood twice a day would have a short life, not to mention Emperor Zhengqing's 50+ people.

Furthermore, Emperor Zhengqing was seriously injured this time.Previously, in front of the cabinet ministers, it was already equivalent to Tuogu.

How long Emperor Zhengqing can last is already unknown.

The future emperor is Min Ning.Although he has a good relationship with Min Ning, no one can predict what will happen to a man's heart after such an accident.

From this point of view, it is reasonable for Emperor Zhengqing to guard against Min Ning.

From ancient times to the present, no eunuch has ever been able to be an emperor!

Wang Ziteng saw that Jia Qing looked modest, and he was not impatient or mad about his persuasion, so he nodded secretly, relieved a lot.

Now the Jia family and the Wang family can be said to be the two most closely related, and they are also the two most powerful in Beijing.

He didn't want to see Jia Qing go astray.

But when they are in their position, they can only talk to the point, and they can't say much.Now that Jia Qing understood it himself, he skipped over this again and talked about the current situation:
"However, we should not be careless. Although there is not much movement in Niwang now, he was the prince several decades ago, and his mother was the first queen of the Supreme Emperor. He is one of the most prestigious princes in the clan.

His reliance must not be limited to the soldiers of the northern and southern camps who were deceived by him outside the city.

I have been observing their actions for the past few days. They are manufacturing siege equipment outside the city, and they are probably preparing to attack the city as soon as the reinforcements arrive.

We should also think about how to deal with it next. "

Jia Qingdao: "Now His Majesty's confidant, General Wei Lize, is reorganizing the Imperial Army, and Zhao Donglai is also recruiting the Jinyi Army. These days, there are some achievements. There are still at least [-] regular troops. Recruit some new soldiers and conscript some yamen servants. , government soldiers, a reserve army of [-] to [-], plus the Beijing camp, is enough to defend the city."

Wang Ziteng nodded.

It is enough for so many people to defend the city.The capital city is also a strong city, as long as there is no chaos inside, it will be difficult for the opponent to break through the city.

Thinking of this, Wang Ziteng suddenly admired Emperor Zhengqing.

With a Tianzi sword in Jia Qing's hands, no one in Beijing would dare to hold back the Beijing camp and the city army.

It can be described as great.

After talking with Jia Qing, Wang Ziteng went down the city wall to inspect the city defenses. Jia Qing still stood at the top of the city, looking at the camp where Prince Kang was.

Are you waiting for reinforcements?
Ha ha.

Jia Qing had a hunch that reinforcements from the imperial court might also be arriving.
