Sword of the Red Chamber from Heaven

"rebel?"

The brains of Jia Mu and the others buzzed, and almost instantly, the two words rushed into their minds.

Jia She frowned, not understanding why. Previously, the Jingjiao Camp was controlled by the nobles. At that time, it was possible for them to rebel. But now the Jingjiao Camp has been fully taken over by Emperor Kangdi. Why would they rebel at this time? He even suspected that the person who came to inquire about the news had heard the wrong thing.

"Lai Erjia, where did you get the news from?"

Jia She put down the teacup in his hand and spoke in a somewhat stiff tone.

It's not his fault. The news is really shocking. A few days ago, the rebellion had just been put down, but another rebellion broke out in the camp outside the capital. For the situation in the capital, it was like adding insult to injury.

"Could it be the work of several princes?"

Jia She's mind turned, and a terrible guess suddenly emerged in his mind.

He just didn't say this guess out loud. After all, for the generals in the camp outside the capital, it would be unjustifiable to rebel at this time, and it would probably be difficult to succeed in the end.

In this era, people's thoughts were very constrained. For example, things like rebellion would usually have a banner, such as clearing the court of corrupt officials, and the emphasis was on legitimacy. But over in the camp outside the capital, if it was simply the generals' own ideas, no matter what they said, it would probably not stand up.

"In reply to your words, Master, I didn't believe this matter at first, so I went to confirm it twice. It was the steward of the Minister of Rites who saw it with his own eyes. He knew the leader of the team. He was a general in the camp outside the capital."

Jia She nodded and looked at Jia Mu.

"Mom, is there anything else you want to ask?"

Grandmother Jia waved her hands. She had a rough idea of ​​what was going on. But then she looked at Jia Baoyu who was sitting beside her and said, "Baoyu, do you have anything to ask?"

Jia Baoyu was stunned. There was not much information that could be obtained on this matter now, and he could only rely on speculation. The uprising in the camp outside the capital clearly meant that this matter was not as simple as it seemed.

"If the suburban camp wants to enter the capital, they should go through the East Gate! There are always people guarding the gate. How did these people get in?"

Jia Baoyu looked at Lai Erjia, with a hint of inquiry in his eyes.

When Lai Erjia heard this, she was a little confused. What did Jia Baoyu want to ask?

"Baoyu is right. The Jingjiao Camp is to the east of the capital. If you want to enter the city, the east gate is the best choice."

Jia Lian spoke at the right time and confirmed what Jia Baoyu said.

The others also had a thoughtful look on their faces. Jia Baoyu's idea was right. Starting a rebellion was different from other things. The one that was chosen must be the shortest and fastest route.

"Brother Bao wants to ask if there is any movement at the East Gate?"

Following Jia Baoyu's train of thought, Jia Zhen pointed out the key to the matter. Looking at Jia Baoyu sitting next to Jia's mother, the master of the East Palace did not show it on his face, but his heart was already in turmoil.

Originally, this kid was just like him, doing nothing serious except biting the rouge on the maid's mouth and flirting with little girls, a little pervert. But now, the ability shown by Jia Baoyu was so amazing that it reminded him of his father before he got into trouble.

It is not easy for someone to pass the imperial examination and become a Jinshi, especially for a Jinshi who comes from a Duke's Mansion.

Jia Baoyu naturally couldn't guess what Jia Zhen was thinking, but even if he knew, he probably wouldn't take it to heart.

Jia Baoyu nodded.

"If there is no movement, there must be treachery hidden inside."

Lai Erjia seemed to understand, but she had never heard the servants mention the East Gate. After thinking for a while, she said, "In reply to Master Bao, the servants we sent out didn't seem to have heard of this matter."

Jia She sighed and waved at Lai Erjia.

"Okay, you go down first!"

Lai Erjia glanced at Lady Jia, and seeing that she didn't say anything, she bowed and slowly retreated.

The room calmed down again. After a while, Jia She spoke again, "No news, which means that those people in the suburban camp entered the city directly without experiencing a battle. Otherwise, the battle to break the city would have shocked the entire capital."

Inside the room, even Jia Zheng's expression changed again and again when he heard this.

"Brother, do you mean that the people guarding the city are colluding with those in the camp outside the capital?"

Jia She narrowed his eyes. If he had some doubts about the large-scale rebellion outside the capital before, now he was certain that this was not a momentary impulse, but had been planned for a long time.

Following this line of thought, this matter must be related to those princes.

"It seems that this matter has little to do with our family, but given the current situation, our family may have to make early plans."

Jia Baoyu looked extremely serious. Although he knew it was inappropriate for him to say this, this matter needed someone to point it out.

"This"

Jia Zhen and his son were stunned. They had used their limited wisdom on women. Jia Baoyu's jumping thoughts made them completely confused.

"Brother Bao, what does this mean?"

Seeing that Jia She was indifferent, Jia Zheng looked dejected, and Jia's mother did not say anything, Jia Zhen had no choice but to ask.

The West Mansion and the East Mansion are both the Jia Mansion in name, but they are not the same mansion after all. There are arrangements for the West Mansion, and he has to do what is done for the East Mansion.

"Baoyu, you speak."

Jia She sat on the chair and did not intend to speak, but let Jia Baoyu explain.

"Brother Zhen, this is not difficult to understand. Let me explain it slowly. The riot that happened tonight happened suddenly. It seems to be just a momentary impulse, but from the incident at the city gate, we can see some clues. This matter was obviously planned for a long time."

"Raising an army to rebel may involve the royal family. The three princes of the royal family don't have a good relationship with our Jia Mansion. Even the fifth and second princes have already fallen out with the Jia Mansion. If it is really them, our Jia Mansion will certainly be liquidated after the rebellion is successful. Even if they are not the protagonists of this rebellion, we have to act carefully. Because of Brother Hong, we have gained a lot of glory, but at the same time, we also bear a lot of jealousy."

"The uprising may not succeed, but we must plan a way out."

When Jia Zhen heard this, he suddenly understood.

Then his face changed. If this matter was really done by the prince, would those people come to the Jia Mansion tonight?

But before Jia Zhen could open his mouth, a deafening roar sounded, as if it was right next to his ear, and then there was an earth-shaking movement.

Jia She and Jia Baoyu stood up at the same time, both of them frowning.

"Mother, I'm afraid some people can't wait any longer."
