Red Mansion Royal Cat

Chapter 187
This royal racecourse located in the north of the city is huge, and it is divided into two by the clear Yu River.

Unlike the green grass and galloping horses on the right, it is located in the palace at the foot of Yuquan Mountain, and the pavilions are so luxurious.

Shui Rong leaned on the fence and looked into the distance, and there seemed to be cheers faintly coming from the polo field in the distance.The other person in Gaoting was a little anxious and kept pouring wine into his mouth.

From time to time, he complained: "What's going on? It's been so long and there's no news?"

"Brother Qian, don't worry, no matter how the Jia family defends, they can't break the trap we set up."

Shui Rong raised the wine glass in his hand and said with a confident smile: "It's not that Brother Qian doesn't know what kind of temperament our Princess Tu is. As long as she is here, our plan will be foolproof. But Brother Qian, has the matter in Liaodong been arranged?" Proper? Can you force the imperial court to make concessions? Liaodong must become chaotic as soon as possible. Did Uncle Shi say when will the army of Goryeo cross the river?"

There was a glimmer of gloom in Qian Kun's eyes. According to what his father Qian Kangshi said, no matter whether the plan is successful this time, the power of Dongping Palace will suffer.

But seeing that the rope around his neck was getting tighter and tighter, the Dongping Palace had to endure the pain for a while, trying to find a way to jump out of the quagmire of the capital and go back to Liaodong.

"Brother Shui, don't worry, Lin Ruhai wants to implement the new salt law, which will offend the powerful families in Shu, Shanxi, and Jiangnan at once. Shanxi merchants have already promised that they have contacted Tatar and Koryo, and the war on the nine sides will not be far away. The earth will cause trouble again, and the south of the Yangtze River will unite with the feudal vassals in the South China Sea to disrupt the sea, huh..."

Qian Kun laughed sinisterly, poured the wine down his throat, and threw it on the ground: "Isn't his Jia family very favored? Then let me see, as the envoy of the feudal lords to propose marriage When coming to Beijing, will the Jia family faithfully offer up their daughter!"

Shui Rong felt extremely disgusted by the sinister laughter in Gaoting, but his face was always gentle and refined.

Shui Rong sighed and said, "I didn't expect us to be in the same line as the founding of the country for nearly a hundred years, and finally parted ways to the point of waiting for you to die. If the Ningrong Jia family can change their minds, why should we bother to kill each other?"

Qian Kun replied with a cold snort: "Brother Shui, he is both Uncle Feng and Concubine Feng, even the son-in-law of the Jia family has become the emperor's confidant, why do you have to sigh for the traitor?"

Ugh!
Shui Rong looked at the polo field in the distance, and sighed: "It's just plotting against women and children, after all, it's not what a gentleman does..."

Shui Rong's attitude made Qian Kun a little dissatisfied, he stood up and clasped his fists together: "Forget it, brother Shui is a gentleman, I'm such a villain as to not disturb brother Shui and sigh. Just in case, I'd better go and see for myself, goodbye!"

Qian Kun didn't wait for Shui Rong to respond, and strode down the stairs.

After seeing his confidant guard on the first floor, he cursed in a low voice: "I really think I don't know what he's thinking, so why pretend to be a gentleman? Qian Er, how's the plan going? Don't let anyone find out about us. "

That Qian Er smiled viciously, and whispered in his ear: "Young master, don't worry, these Japanese pirates and water bandits don't even know who gave the money. They can survive in Yanshan thanks to our support. The subordinates have already made arrangements. Already, after robbing people, send them to Shanxi as soon as possible."

"Good job! Tell the Shanxi merchants that I will give them what they want, and it's time for them to keep their promises."

Qian Kun patted Qian Er's shoulder, and the gloom on his face deepened.He looked up at the figure on the high pavilion, and chuckled: "Who does Shui Rong think he is? After wearing the skin of a 'virtuous king' for a long time, does he really think he is a modest gentleman? Jia Cong did me so badly, Then I will make him miserable!"

The tables and cases in the high pavilion had been cleaned up. After the servants cleaned it up and lit incense, the old housekeeper of the Prince's Mansion in Beijing County waved away the idlers in the pavilion.

He handed a cup of tea to Shui Rong, and said: "My lord, the Qian family has taken the bait. The old slave has already secretly passed the news to Jia She, but I don't know if Jia She will take the bait."

"This is a conspiracy, and the Jia family can't do it unless they take the bait. Lin Ruhai is too important to the Jia family, not to mention that Jia Enhou put all his hopes on Jia Cong, this little girl from the Lin family, Jia pardoned her." Don't let her lose!"

Shui Rong raised the teacup at hand, paid respects to Qian Kun who was going away, and sneered: "Brother Qian, thank you! When the Liaodong war comes together, it will be the time when my Shui family will regain control of the army. The fertile land of Liaodong is thousands of miles away. My water family wants it!"

The old housekeeper bowed with admiration on his face and said, "Your lord is wise, Qian Kun would never have imagined that it would be the princess of the Tu family who would be robbed by his people. When the time comes, the Tu family will break with the Dongping County palace. People can take advantage of the gap and take down all the trade routes of the Tu family in Liaodong in one fell swoop."

……

The conflict in the pergola was finally resolved under the mediation of Empress Dowager Cao, and the polo match continued, but Liu Shule, the eldest princess of Deqing, was not in the mood to celebrate her birthday.

Known daughter Mo Ruomu, she still knows what the daughter she gave birth to looks like.It is true that he is domineering, but he is not stupid enough to act violently in front of the empress dowager.

After finally begging the Empress Dowager, she personally sent her daughter out of the palace and boarded the carriage, then gloomyly summoned all the servants who served Tu Siqi, and after a whipping, they finally found out some reasons.

"Who is Lin Ruhai? Will his daughter be a tongue-twister? Besides, Lin's daughter and Jia's daughter have been staying in the Rongguo Mansion, never leaving the door. How have they ever had the opportunity to meet other people?"

Liu Shule summoned a few nuns, frowned and said, "Go and find out, who has Siqi been in contact with these days, and who said these things in Siqi's ear."

The nuns were about to take orders to leave, but Liu Shule stopped them again: "Also, send someone to inform the son-in-law that Siqi has offended the Ningrong and Lin families, and let him find opportunities to talk to Jia and Lin." The two families apologize."

The leading nun asked unwillingly: "Your Highness, you are a golden branch and jade leaf, why should we bow our heads to the Jia family?"

"Confused! Have you forgotten what kind of temper Jia Enhou is? Disrespect can cause three points, not to mention Jia Jiasanlang's favor in the palace. Even my palace can't enter the gate of Longshou Palace, but Jia Sanlang Can come and go freely. Besides..."

Liu Shule pursed her lips, and said sadly: "Besides, Lin Ruhai is now the emperor's confidant, and has a very high reputation in the world. In addition, Jia Sanlang's teacher, Mr. Qingteng, offended both Jia and Lin. Yier How can I take the imperial examination in the future?"

Speaking of this, although Liu Shule said that she was unavoidably dissatisfied with Jia Lin's family, she was more annoyed at the person who instigated her daughter to be stupid.

She originally wanted to use her birthday to explain to the Jia family how Qian Kang humiliated Jia Zheng at the time, and by the way tried to close the relationship between the two families, but she didn't expect it to turn out like this...

Could it be that I have recited words recently?

Alas, the dignified royal lady has to bow her head to her courtiers.When Liu Shule thought of the virtuous concubine Jia Yuanchun she met in the Compassionate Ning Palace, the irritability in her heart became even stronger.

The emperor's father is getting older, and the elder brother is ignoring him again.If one wanted to maintain the prosperity of the Princess Mansion, one had to get along well with the Jia family, a resurgent family of martial arts nobles.

……

The noble ladies in the arbor were frightened just now, but after the elders all retreated, they started chattering again after a while.

Most of the people in this pergola are relatives of the royal family and the Wu Xun family. When the polo match resumed, all of them stretched their necks to appreciate the heroic posture on the court.

Even Xichun, who was crying loudly just now, was writhing in Yingchun's arms, eager to gallop his horse.

Daiyu had already discussed with Tanchun their tactics after their debut. Jia Cong saw his sisters staring at the speeding swing on the field with great interest, and after a few words of advice, he led the big cat out of the polo field.

Just now, Empress Dowager Cao was obviously dissatisfied with her stubbornness, so she stopped hanging around in front of her old man.

The aristocrats in Beijing who went hunting have come back and are competing with each other on the bank of the Yu River. How lively are they throwing pots and archery, barbecue and drinking.

Jia Cong told Jia Shishi to stay outside the polo field and pay attention to the situation inside, and then took the big cat to the Jade River.

"Brother Cong, come quickly and see what I hunted?"

Liu Hong had had enough of hunting today, and when he saw a man and a cat from a distance, he waved and shouted.

The people around looked over one after another, Jia Cong put away his boredom, put on a smiling face and greeted them, and said with everyone: "Brothers, my younger brother is polite!"

It should be said that although Jia Cong is young, his official rank is far higher than most of the people here.Almost everyone returned their greetings with a smile. After exchanging pleasantries, Jia Cong walked up to Liu Hong and complained in a low voice, "Fourth brother, you have hurt me..."

He turned the big cat's head over, pointed to the red mark on its forehead, and briefly explained the conflict just now.

Liu Hong frowned and said, "Siqi is getting more and more mischievous, and Aunt Jiu doesn't take care of her..."

Jia Cong confessed to Liu Hong the contribution of Biao Xichun indiscriminately, and said dissatisfiedly: "This is more than nonsense. If the fourth sister hadn't hugged the big cat's head in time regardless of the danger, I don't know what kind of tragedy would have happened."

Liu Hong saw Jia Cong's dissatisfaction, and said: "I will tell the grandfather about this matter. Since the Tu family can't manage their daughter well, let Zongzheng Temple take care of it."

"it is good!"

The sudden applause interrupted the conversation between the two. Jia Cong turned around and saw the target on the small wooden boat in the Yu River going down the river. Jia Lian was competing with several teenagers in archery.

Liu Hong used this to change the topic, and said with a smile: "Your second brother is worthy of the general of Pingwa, and bow horse riding and archery should be the first!"

Just as he was talking, Jia Lian shot another arrow, which hit the target on the wooden boat in the river, and won another round of applause.

"it is good!"

The atmosphere here finally infected Jia Cong, and he also shouted along with the crowd.Seeing that he still let go of his boredom, Liu Hong raised the corners of his mouth.

Liu Hong winked at Jia Cong, encouraged, "Let's go, let's go and play too. Just now we hunted several white foxes and red foxes, and they will take the prize, and whoever wins will get it..."

……

Tu Siqi sat in the bumpy carriage angrily, and kept cursing the servant who was driving the carriage, but the servant remained sullen and did not speak.

The carriage was supposed to cross the stone bridge over the Yu River and return to the capital from the official road on the east side under the guard of a team of forbidden troops.

But somehow, he went south along the river bank and entered a dense forest.The servant girl accompanying Tu Siqi noticed something was wrong, put down the curtain and whispered: "Princess, this is not the way back to Beijing..."

Tu Siqi, who was still cursing others, hadn't figured out what the servant girl meant, and angrily lifted the curtain of the carriage, and was about to curse, but saw that the surroundings were already surrounded by dense forests, which were in midsummer and extremely lush and lush.

At other times, this is a good place to enjoy the cool.But at this moment, in Tu Siqi's view, the dark place in the dense forest seemed to be full of danger.

"You dog slave, why don't you follow the official path?"

Tu Siqi finally realized that something was wrong, but she was used to being domineering, and she cursed out of her mouth.

The servant driving the car finally said: "Go back to the princess, the previous leader sent a message that the Yuhe stone bridge collapsed, so I can only go south along the river to return to Beijing. The road is bumpy, so the princess returned to the carriage and took a seat. After two quarters of an hour Then you can go back to the official road."

How could Tu Siqi have thought of the solidity of the stone bridge, she believed it was true and just complained a few words, then withdrew the carriage.

She also scolded the maid around her a few times, saying that she was worrying for nothing.The carriage rattled forward, and the bumpy road made her even more irritable.

When she was about to raise the curtain again to scold people, there was a sudden exclamation from outside: "No, there are thieves..."

Tu Siqi covered her mouth in horror, because the captain of the forbidden army who was leading the team outside the carriage stabbed the back of the screaming forbidden army with a knife.

And a large number of thieves in ragged clothes rushed out from the dense forest on both sides, and the imperial army was in chaos for a while, many of them died at the hands of their colleagues.

When she realized it, the leader of the thieves was already shaking hands with the captain of the Forbidden Army and said, "King Dongping really keeps his word. I will take this man away now."

"Wang Tou-ling, please go back and tell Patriarch Fan that the lord has sent Princess Tu as planned. Please send the things that Shanxi merchants promised to my lord to Liaodong as soon as possible. There is no delay for the important matter of the lord!"

Tu Siqi's face turned pale with fright at the captain's words, she covered her mouth and widened her eyes, she was so frightened that she couldn't speak a word.

The leader Wang smiled and replied: "It's natural, I'm still waiting for the prince to ascend to the throne, and give the brothers in the sea a status..."

Tu Siqi finally woke up from her panic, and began to make up her mind.

Why did Dongping Wangfu send himself to Shanxi merchant Fan's family?Could it be that someone in the Fan family coveted her prosperous appearance?

And the leader Wang said that King Dongping actually wanted to ascend to the throne, and he wanted to rebel?

God, I heard such a secret, so is there any chance of my life?
Just as she was frightened, terrified, and imagining, there was a bang, the shadow covered the light, and there was a smell of sweat in the carriage.

"what……"

Before Tu Siqi screamed, the maid beside her yelled, "Help me..."

Bang!
Tu Siqi, who gradually regained her sight, finally saw clearly what was going on in the carriage. It was a thick-haired middle-aged man who knocked out his servant girl with a hand knife, and even showed his brown teeth with a grinning grin.

"Sure enough, it's golden branches and jade leaves. Princess Tu is such a great beauty..."
