Red House Shoufu

Chapter 362 Silla's plan to pacify Wajima

In the royal city of Silla, which is thousands of miles away from the capital, the prosperity of the past has long since disappeared.

The people of Silla are superior and inferior, unlike the Central Plains Dynasty, wealth is gathered in the hands of the nobles. Since years ago, Silla officials have used various methods to snatch the small amount of food, ironware, salt, etc. from the people. The materials needed for the army's conquest were used by tens of thousands of troops to attack Liaodong.

After a severe winter, apart from the nobles and wealthy merchants in the royal city, countless ordinary people froze to death.It's a pity that years of slavery have long since broken the backbone of the people of Silla. Most people dare not have the slightest desire to resist, and can only silently bear the oppression of the nobles.

The army of the Kingdom of Heaven came from the south, and they did not encounter any serious obstacles along the way.When Jia Amnesty led the army to the city, the king of Silla was in a daze. He really didn't expect that since the early Ming Dynasty, Silla, which was a vassal state, would become the target of conquest by the Celestial Dynasty.

The royal family of Silla knew exactly how terrifying the Imperial Guards of Great Chu who were armed to the teeth. If it wasn't for the agreement between Oara and Shui Rong, they knew that the court would not be able to take action, and they would not even think about taking advantage of it if they were killed.

Even with the help of Shui Rong, the Silla Royal City only lasted for a short day under the fierce attack of Jia Amnesty's army.The successive bombings of the artillery gave the people of Silla a clearer impression than ever before. A loud noise like thunder and shells hitting the top of the city completely frightened them out of their courage.

In this way, Jia Amnesty settled in the Silla royal city and wiped out the Silla royal family. More than 200 clans including the Silla king, queen mother, concubine and princess were all loaded on warships and sent to the capital overnight.

Jia Amnesty stood on the tall building and looked at the gray Silla Royal City with a lonely face.Twenty days have passed since his granddaughter's birthday party, and the Mid-Autumn Festival is only a few days away. At this time last year, he was staying in the capital to play happily with his granddaughter.

I just don't know if the granddaughter will like the gift sent to the capital?
"General, the Embroidered Clothes Guard reported that the remnants of the water soluble army had retreated to the Incheon area. The navy sent a letter asking if they should fight again?"

The soldiers brought in a secret letter, and by the light of the stove, Jia Amnesty read the secret letter and threw it into the stove.

The secret agent of the Embroidery Guard is really powerful, Ren Shuirong is extremely cunning, but his every move is under the surveillance of the Embroidery Guard.

Jia Amnesty wrote a military order with a brush, stamped it with a big seal, and handed it to the messenger: "Tell the navy that a round was fought according to the plan, forcing Shui Rong to lead the remaining troops to flee eastward. Don't let him see the flaws, hang far behind his body, until Shui Rong catches up with Wa Island."

……

The Fengtian Hall continued to be noisy until the evening, and the civil and military officials were driven out of the imperial city by the emperor, leaving only the cabinet scholars to go to the Qinzheng Hall to discuss matters.

Lin Shu, Jia Zheng, and Jia Lian rode back to the Rongguo Mansion together. Unlike Jia Lian's beaming expression, Jia Zheng's expression was always depressed today, and he sighed along the way.

"What's wrong with Second Uncle?"

Lin Shu looked at Jia Zheng who rushed into the gate of Rongguo Mansion angrily, and asked in puzzlement.

Jia Lian replied in a low voice: "Baoyu has gotten into trouble again. He met the Zhen family who came to Beijing in Qionghua Building in Dongshi. Coincidentally, the Zhen family also has Baoyu, who is almost identical to Brother Bao except for their clothes. The two It's too late to meet each other, and I didn't return all night yesterday..."

Good guy, this is tossing Yuanchun's life and Erfang's future, no wonder Jia Zheng's face is angry and sad.

What kind of life did Yuan Chun live under Zhen's hands a few years ago?The Zhen family said they were the old relatives of the Jia family, but they didn't do what an old relative should do. Instead, they deliberately suppressed Yuan Chun, and even used various methods to force Yuan Chun to do things for him.

If it weren't for the emperor's sudden whim to use the Rongguo Mansion to divide the four kings and eight princes, the grass on Yuanchun's grave would have been more than ten feet high.

"Before going to court, Second Uncle just hung Brother Bao from a tree and gave him a good beating..." Jia Lian invited Lin Shu into the mansion, and at the same time gave a general overview of the situation with two tuts.

When the two came to the front hall, Jia Huan was talking with Xue Pan.

"Hello, Second Brother Lian, Hello, Cousin Lin!"

"Second brother Lian, and Mr. Lin!"

The two parties met, greeted each other, and then spoke in separate seats.Xue Pan finally had time to rest today, when suddenly he heard cheers outside.

Knowing that Jia Amnesty made great contributions, Xue Baochai immediately chose a suitable gift, and the mother and son came out of the Lixiangyuan to congratulate each other.

"Second brother Lian, did your Majesty give the Grand Master a reward? Will you give the Marquis?"

Although Xue Pan is now an official of the fifth rank and a thousand households, unlike the fifth rank civil servant, he is not eligible to participate in the court meeting.This meeting was curious about the imperial court's reward to Jia Amnesty, and asked about the situation of Fengtian Temple today.

Jia Lian smiled and said: "There will definitely be a reward, but I don't know if it will be a Marquis. Thunder, rain, and dew are all the grace of the king. No matter what the final result is, as ministers, we can just listen to His Majesty's orders with peace of mind."

In terms of experience and experience, Jia Lian is definitely the best among his peers.He bowed his hands to the north, showing a loyal courtier to the fullest.

"Yes, yes, what Brother Lian said is true." Xue Pan patted the back of his head foolishly, then rubbed his sunburned face, and replied with a cheerful smile.

"Brother Xue's face is so sunburned?"

Jia Lian uncovered the matter of rewards, and shifted the topic to Xue Pan's sunburned face these days, curious about the training of Donggong Six Rates.

He said to Xue Pan: "This sunburn can be prevented and treated. I will send someone to look for the prescription left by my grandfather before. It is a prescription from the former court, which is specially used to treat various types of burns and sunburns. It has a skin-beautifying effect.”

"Give me one too!"

Lin Shu touched his face, feeling that he was busy inside and out today, and his skin seemed to be much rougher.

He also took a special look at Jia Lian's recovered skin, only to realize that apart from the missing corner of the earlobe and the faint scar on his face, this fellow has become a eccentric young man again.

Xue Pan is also a person who loves beauty, so naturally he stood up and clasped his fists as soon as he slapped his thigh: "Second brother Lian, this prescription is a must, I don't want to hang around in Beijing under the name of a black charcoal head. Oh yes, no Can you send a copy to His Royal Highness and Brother Liu?"

Jia Lian and Lin Shu looked at each other with a smile, and then replied: "Of course, it's no secret that this recipe is in the capital. There are already finished products sold in Yurong Zhai in the capital. If you find it troublesome, I will write you a handwritten letter. Yurongzhai took a few boxes and used them first."

"Yurong Zhai is a shop jointly opened by our mother and a few younger sisters to earn money for cosmetics."

Jia Lian finally explained that this is not a lie. Yuan Chun had already restored the prescription before entering the palace, and made a variety of skin-beautifying ointments based on this prescription, and these ointments were even favored by the imperial concubine. Appreciate.

When it was time to visit her relatives, she discussed with Jia Shishi and decided to lend the name of a few younger sisters to save dowries, and at the same time opened the largest beauty shop in the capital in the east and west of the capital.

Whether it is Yingchun who is married, Xiangyun who has no home, Tanchun and Xichun all have shares, and the five share the income equally, but they are always in the hands of Yuanchun's people.

As for Daiyu and Baochai's two cousins, Yuan Chun originally wanted to reward her with a share, but they refused.After all, they are different from Xiangyun, Lin and Xue are not short of money, and Lin Shu has even allocated [-]% of his family property to Daiyu's dowry.

"Crackling..."

The sound of firecrackers accompanied by the noise of gongs and drums spread to the ears of several people in the front hall. Xing'er beside Jia Lian looked excited, and hurried into the front hall to report: "Master, there are angels in the palace, and His Majesty's imperial decree of reward will come soon." almost there!"

Both Jia Lian and Lin Shu were startled, they couldn't even argue with each other at the court meeting, how could they decide on the reward so quickly?
"Hurry up and prepare the incense table, open the middle door, and go to the back hall to invite the ancestors and the second uncle..."

The Rongguo Mansion has received the imperial decree continuously in the past few years, and the servants in the mansion are already extremely proficient.The middle door opened, Jia Zheng, Jia Lian and other male heirs were all standing at the gate, while the family members were waiting in the front yard.

"Welcome Angels! Angels please..."

The servant who came was not Xia Shouzhong, but Dai Quan, the emperor's companion who had been guarding the Dragon Head Palace.

After Dai Quan was welcomed into the gate of Rongguo Mansion, he first saluted and greeted Jia Shishi, and conveyed the concern of the Supreme Emperor for Jia Shishi.

Then the incense table was set up, Jia Lian took the lead, Jia Zheng, Jia Baoyu, Jia Cong, Jia Huan and Jia Huan were on the left, Jia Shishi and other female relatives at home also knelt on the right to welcome the oracle.

"The emperor's edict, Jia Enhou is worthy of my bestowal. I should reward you! I heard that Jia Lian, the son of Qing, has no words so far. Today I bestow it on Jia Lian, the son of Er, with the word Chengzong. Wang Rongguo is of the same line, loyal to the country from generation to generation, Enrong Unceasing, rest with the country. This is it!"

The first imperial decree turned out to be a letter bestowed by the emperor, which was indeed beyond everyone's expectations.After Dai Quan finished reading the imperial decree, Jia Lian was still in a daze, but Jia Zheng woke up from the shock first, and shouted long live to remind him.

"General Jia, accept the decree. Two generations of patriarchs have received letters from the sage, which has never been heard in the ages. The sage asked our family to bring a word to the general, and work well with His Majesty. The loyalty and bravery of the government can be maintained forever!"

Jia Lian shouted long live, and respectfully received the imperial decree and the words written by the Supreme Emperor himself from Dai Quan's hand.

Then Dai Quan took another scroll of imperial decree from the eunuch behind him, and read aloud: "The imperial edict said, I only rule the world with literature, and fight chaos with force. And the commander-in-chief Rong will be the pillar of the court and the pillar of the country." It is capable of both civil and military affairs, and it is possible to use all your strength to serve you, but you can lose your achievements and not praise it to favor your life. Silla's chaotic ministers disturbed our Liaodong, and the Rongguo Mansion attacked Rong Enbo Jia's amnesty did not avoid the danger at sea. Rebellion. I was specially granted the title of Marquis of Rongguo, descending from the third generation. In addition, I was granted the crown prince Shaobao, Shangzhu Kingdom, and special entry into Doctor Guanglu to demonstrate martial arts, and to proclaim to the world, this is yours!"

Apart from foreign countries, how difficult it is for Wu Xun to confer titles, you can see just from Wang Ziteng's controlling county magistrate.

Back then, for this title, Wang Ziteng planned for more than ten years, and almost squeezed out the four major families of Jia, Wang, Xue, and Shi. Only then was he worthy of the Holy Grace, and hung a plaque on the gate of the Wang family to govern the county magistrate's mansion. .

Jia Amnesty’s contribution is not enough to confer the title of marquis on the bright side, mainly because the plan in it cannot be truly announced, such as completely bringing Silla into the territory of the state, driving away tigers and wolves, driving Shui Rong to Japan, and leading righteous men Expedition to Wajima...

There was no way to tell these things in the court, and the emperor didn't want to wrong his general, so he went to Longshou Palace after the court meeting.

……

At the same time when the Jia family was leading the decree, the Supreme Emperor in Longshou Palace was sitting on a rocking chair enjoying the wind and drinking fine wine, listening to the emperor's son bragging to him.

The elderly emperor has gradually aged since suffering a stroke nine years ago. In the past six months, he has often felt paralyzed all over his body, unable to move from time to time.

Fortunately, my son is quite filial, not only ordered to search for famous doctors from all over the country, but also came to talk to me every day to relieve boredom, and asked carefully about each prescription one by one.

As for today's smug look, he really deserves a beating, the Supreme Emperor rolled his eyes, seeing his filial piety in the past, he doesn't care about it today.

"Father, what do you think of my son's strategy of driving away tigers and wolves? The Japanese pirates have invaded our sea area for nearly a hundred years. There is no reason why they can come, but we can't go. With the excuse of water dissolution, after the north is pacified, son Then send the navy to march eastward, and bring Wa Island into the territory of our dynasty in one fell swoop."

The emperor was so excited that he almost danced with his hands and feet. He really couldn't restrain his inner excitement to be proud of his old father who ruled martial arts!

He talked about his thoughts endlessly, from the gold and silver reserves of the Japanese country to his own strategy, the emperor told them all.

The Supreme Emperor hummed, and expressed his attitude perfunctorily: "Not bad, not bad, keep working hard."

"Oh...Father, you can praise your son, it's too perfunctory!"

"Come here...come closer...yes...crack!"

The Supreme Emperor slapped the emperor on the back of the head: "How old is your lord, you have been the emperor for nearly nine years, and you still can't show your emotions..."

"You are the king of a country. Others can be proud of their achievements, but you can't. You don't show your emotions, your likes and dislikes, your sorrows and joys, and you don't obey the heavens. The emperor and the son of heaven No matter whether you succeed or fail, you must maintain the majesty of the emperor. If you have meritorious service, your courtiers will worship it, as recorded in history books. If you have made mistakes, you will have your own courtiers to bear them for you, and future generations will have evaluations."

"Today, I will teach you another lesson, why the title of Marquis Jaen must be raised to Marquis, because you need someone who can bear the consequences of failure for you. High influence, but it can’t affect the stability of the country. Wei Qinghe can’t, Zhang Yue can’t, only Jia Amnesty is the most suitable. When one day you make a big mistake, he can bear the mistake for you.”

The solemn look on the Supreme Emperor's face made the emperor feel a little depressed. Regarding Jia Amnesty's edict, the emperor felt that meritorious service should be rewarded instead of being full of all kinds of calculations.

Unlike emperors like the Supreme Emperor who were killed from mountains of corpses and seas of blood, today's emperors are more humane.However, he had to admit that what his father said had some truth, the emperor could not make mistakes, and this was fully demonstrated in the Longsheng Dynasty.

Moreover, the people in Rongguo Mansion are indeed the most suitable people to bear their own faults. Back then, Jia Daishan took the blame for the Supreme Emperor twice.

The emperor was silent, and the father and son watched the sunset in the shade in front of the Dragon Head Palace silently, until Dai Quan returned from the Rongguo Mansion, and whispered: "Saint, Your Majesty, everyone in the Rongguo Mansion is very grateful. Long live. General Jia swears that the Rongguo Mansion will be loyal to Great Chu and His Majesty from generation to generation, and will not hesitate to die!"
