The Red Mansion En Xiaohou

"Tatars have been dishonest lately."

"I heard that there will be snow damage in the grassland this year."

"The Tatars are ready to move, and they want to thresh the grass."

The emperor told Jia She the information he had obtained.

Jia She's eyes flashed with shock. If this was true, it would be a catastrophe for the people on the border of Daqian.

But what's the use of letting him go? He's not as brave and good at fighting as his grandfather and father, and he doesn't know how to organize troops.

Jia She looked at the emperor and gave him a slight salute.

"I understand your Majesty's thoughts. It's not that I don't want to go. It's just that I'm not good at fighting and I'm afraid of dragging down Da Qian."

The emperor smiled, as long as you are willing to go.

Two generations of the Jia family have made great achievements in the northwest. As far as the entire northwest is concerned, the Jia family is no longer a family, but a cohesive force.

As long as someone from the Jia family appears in the northwest, the soldiers' courage will increase.

The emperor looked at Jia She.

"As long as Enhou is willing to go!"

Jia She was still not confident in his heart and hesitated to speak to the emperor. The emperor did not give Jia She a chance to speak at all.

"As long as Enhou is willing to go, I will forgive your old lady's matter."

Jia She looked at the emperor. The emperor's offer was too good for him to refuse.

If Jia Mu's matter is not resolved, it will become a hidden danger sooner or later.

But now the emperor personally said forgiveness, so even if someone wants to cause trouble, they have to think carefully.

Jia She saluted the emperor.

"I am willing to go to the northwest, but don't let me make any decisions. I am an unreliable person."

Jia She reminded the emperor, who couldn't help laughing.

"There is General Meng in the northwest, and you need to take charge."

"Besides, even if you want to palm me, I won't worry."

Jia She smiled and saluted the emperor again.

"I have one more question."

"you say!"

The emperor signaled to Jia She to just say it, and Jia She asked what he wanted to ask.

"I heard that General Meng's health is not that good."

The emperor did not hesitate at all and nodded to Jia She.

"really!"

"That's why I thought of sending you."

"Otherwise, the troops in the northwest may be uneasy and unable to cope with the Tatar attack."

Jia Amnesty nodded.

"I wonder who your Majesty will send to be the supervisor of the army to escort the food and fodder."

Jia She asked the key.

What the soldiers and generals in the northwest feared most was not how to face the Tatar siege.

It's about the lack of food and grass supply in the rear.

This is what he heard from his father. As long as there is enough food and grass, the soldiers on the border will work hard for the court.

And if you go to the battlefield hungry, your momentum will weaken a bit before the battle begins.

How can we fight like this?

The emperor was slightly taken aback by Jia She's question.

"Why do you ask this?"

Jia She spoke softly.

"I heard from my father that support in battle is the most important thing. It is related to the food, drink and diarrhea of ​​the whole army. If it is not good, the combat effectiveness of the soldiers will be reduced."

"And if something goes wrong, it will cause a commotion in the army."

"So before I go to the northwest, I want to know which minister your majesty plans to send to the northwest to supervise the army."

"And if this person is unreliable, I would rather die in the middle of the capital than go to the northwest."

The emperor smiled.

It turned out to be just such a small reason, but Jia She was right, if something went wrong in the backup, the soldiers would be defeated without fighting.

And this backup was supplied in time, even if the battle was defeated.

The soldiers would not be too discouraged.

This is because the soldiers feel that they have a strong backing behind them. After defeat once, it is only a matter of time before they make a comeback.

"I heard that your eldest son Jia Lian is good?"

"He's a good handler."

In fact, as the emperor said, Jia Lian did have a good talent in this area.

Before he really had a real job, he was in charge of the entire Rongguo Mansion's diplomacy and miscellaneous matters.

And this Jia Lian is somewhat capable.

Rong Guo Mansion was declining day by day, but Jia Lian still relied on his talents to make good connections for Rong Guo Mansion.

Among them, Feng Ziying and the Feng family are one of them. The Feng family is a newly emerging family in recent years.

He was a confidant of the Zhang family, the emperor's father-in-law Cheng'en Gong, which meant that he was a confidant of the emperor.

At that time, the Duke of Rongguo was an old force among the old and new forces, and each family had strict control over their heirs.

As a new force, the Feng family can make Feng Ziying and the old force Jia Lian become sworn friends, which is enough to see Jia Lian's social skills.

And what this supervisory army should need most is communication skills.

Jia She, who knew his son was capable, didn't really want Jia Lian to go.

Jia She refused the emperor, and the emperor's eyes flashed with surprise. He was trying to put the credit into his hands.

How could he not want it?

Jia She bowed deeply to the emperor.

"Your Majesty's kindness, I am grateful."

"It's just that Lian'er is still young, so I'm afraid he won't be able to convince everyone."

"Do you have a suitable candidate in mind, Enhou?"

A glint flashed in Jia She's eyes.

He does have a suitable candidate, it just depends on whether you are willing or not.

Jia She spoke silently.

"Lin Ruhai, my brother-in-law!"

The emperor frowned deeply. Now Jiangnan is not completely at peace. If Lin Ruhai is transferred away at a critical moment, he is afraid that something will happen.

"no!"

The emperor refused Jia's pardon.

"Why not, Your Majesty!"

Jia She frowned and asked the emperor, Lin Ruhai is not that important to Jiangnan now.

Why not?

Jia She's eyes were full of confusion, and the emperor glanced at Jia She.

"Lin Ruhai, I still have another important use for you."

The emperor said this because he wanted to support Lin Ruhai's entry into the cabinet.

Now that his biggest hidden danger has been eliminated, the cabinet is still full of the Emperor's people.

And after looking around the whole dynasty, Lin Ruhai was the only one among his people who had enough merit to enter the cabinet.

After all, the salt policy in Jiangnan has always been a hidden danger for Daqian.

Lin Ruhai served as the salt inspector in Jiangnan for many years, and was re-elected three times.

Due to his merits, as long as he survives, he will have a ticket to the cabinet.

And the rest depends entirely on operation.

Jia She looked at the emperor pitifully.

"Then I don't want to choose. Your Majesty can just choose one for me!"

The emperor nodded and waved his hand to Jia She.

"In that case, just go back!"

Jia She bowed towards the emperor and retreated. When Jia She left the main hall, the emperor turned his attention to Wang Mingde.

"Mingde, what do you think of Jia She?"

Wang Mingde was frightened by the emperor's question, and quickly stopped his smile and looked at the emperor.

"Your Majesty, you are taking this old slave's life!"

"The husband-in-laws of the previous dynasty looked closely at eunuchs like this little guy!"

"I tell you to say it, so you say it."

"Now there are only you and me in this hall, so what do you have to fear?"

The emperor asked Wang Mingde to speak. Wang Mingde glanced at the surrounding environment and whispered: "I think this general pardon is good."

"Normally, villains are used to seeing people who take over everything, but it's rare to find someone like General She who knows how to hold back on his abilities."

A smile appeared in the emperor's eyes.

"So, Mingde, you are very optimistic about Jia She?"

Wang Mingde smiled at the emperor.

"Your Majesty is not asking whether this is a good idea or not."

"What about pardoning General? Your Majesty, you know better than this old slave."

"You're a clever guy."

The emperor patted Wang Mingde with his hand, and Wang Mingde's face was full of smiles.

But my heart is like a roller coaster.But thinking of Jia She, Wang Mingde still reminded the emperor with some uneasiness.

"Old slave, I still have something to say."

The emperor looked at Wang Mingde in surprise.

"you say!"

"I feel that although General Jia is a man who knows how to advance and retreat, His Majesty still needs to be careful."

"What do you mean?"

The emperor frowned tightly. He said before that Jia She knew how to advance or retreat, but now he was told to be careful.

Wang Mingde spoke carefully.

"Rongguofu's prestige in the military, as well as Rongguofu's connections."

The emperor's eyes were filled with disgust.

I thought it was something, but it turned out to be just this.

Rong Guofu has now taken the path of civil servants as a whole.

It was surprising that none of Jia She's two sons took the path of a military general.

So what if he has prestige, in the end it will just end with Jia She's generation.

As for what happened next, Jia She was not young at that time.

He can still stay in the army for a few more years, and he has some real abilities.

As the old saying goes, you need to be strong to forge iron. If you don't have excellent skills, you will still be a marginal figure in this army even if you have merit.

The emperor looked at Wang Mingde.

"you think too much."

Wang Mingde reacted and smiled at the emperor.

"Old slave really thinks too much."

Damn it, when he was talking, he actually forgot that Jia She had no successor.

Nowadays, the Jia family as a whole relies on civilian officials. Even if they have connections, as long as one generation is not involved in the army, it will weaken.

When Jia She returned to Rongguo Mansion, Jia's mother had woken up again and was leaning on the bed talking to Sanchun.

Sanchun smiled happily at Jia Mu.

"Is the old lady living well outside Beijing?"

Yingchun asked Jia Mu, and Jia Mu nodded towards Yingchun.

"Everything is fine. The small hot spring village was a reward from Taizu. In winter, it is like spring and autumn in the village. My stay is okay."

"Speaking of which, our sister is getting more and more beautiful."

Jia Mu pinched Yingchun's face, causing Sanchun to laugh.

Yingchun's face turned red, and Jia Mu continued to speak.

"How were you and Zhang Zhengyang doing while grandma was away?"

Yingchun nodded shyly.

"Everything is fine, don't worry, old lady."

Jia Mu took Yingchun's hand and nodded.

"That's it!"

Then Jia Mu set her sights on Tanchun.

"Your father, are you looking for someone to help you?"

Yingchun stood up and Tanchun walked over. Jia Mu took Tanchun's hand and asked her to sit down.

Immediately afterwards, Jia Mu asked about Tanchun.

Now Tanchun has reached the age where she wants to get engaged.

Rongguo Mansion is not the Rongguo Mansion of the past. The previous Rongguo Mansion was in decline and no one cared about it.

Today's Rongguo Mansion is different from the past. Not only is it prosperous, but it also hosts many banquets.

Not to mention the number of times she was invited as a guest, someone should always ask about Tanchun.

Yingchun and Xichun looked at Tanchun.

Tanchun smiled bitterly and shook his head.

"Master didn't tell me this."

Jia Mu's brows furrowed, it was really inappropriate.

Immediately afterwards, Jia's mother remembered what Jia Zheng had said while she was unconscious, and she couldn't help but feel disgust for her little son.

Tanchun lowered his head in shame.

All the sisters in her family who are of the same age as her are already engaged, but she is the only one who has no one interested in her.

Yingchun and Xichun saw the changes in Tanchun.

Tanchun used to be a girl as bright as a rose in the sun, but now she has become Yingchun No. [-].

Welcome the spring and explore the spring.

"Third sister, don't worry too much, the old lady is there for everything."

"Even if my second uncle is a bastard, the old lady won't ignore you."

Tanchun's head lowered again.

The old lady only cares about Baoyu, and asking her now is just a sudden thought.

How could he really care about her?

Jia Mu followed Yingchun to comfort her, but Tanchun didn't take it seriously.

Time passed quickly, and it gradually became dark.

Nowadays, Jia Mu's body is not suitable for hosting any night banquets, especially when not all people are present.

I always feel uncomfortable doing it, so I go back to my own yard in spring.

Jia Huan appeared in Sanchun's yard with red eyes. Seeing Jia Huan's appearance, Sanchun was startled.

Tanchun pulled Jia Huan with concern.

"What's wrong with you? You've been wronged again. Why are you crying like this?"

Jia Huan hugged Tanchun and cried loudly.

Tanchun took the crying Jia Huan into the house, and Yingchun sent the servants out of the house.

Tanchun spoke again.

"But madam, she tortured you and your aunt again."

Jia Huan shook his head at Tanchun.

"What's the matter?"

Tears fell from Jia Huan's eyes.

"Master, he is not a human being!"

Tan Chun frowned and slapped Jia Huan on the head with a serious expression.

"No swearing."

"That's the master, that's your biological father, how can you scold him?"

Jia Huan's eyes were still red.

"What happened? Did the master punish you again?"

Recently, for some reason, Jia Zheng always checks Jia Huan's homework. For this reason, Jia Huan has been beaten a lot, and she pretends to be very uncomfortable.

Jia Huan shook his head and replied to Tanchun.

"No."

"what is that?"

Tanchun asked anxiously, and Jia Huan's eyes flashed with unbearability.

"It's you, sister. The master wants to sell you."

"What did you say?"

Tanchun's eyes were full of disbelief, he wanted to sell her, how could he sell her.

"Master wants to sell you!"

Jia Huan repeated it again, and Tan Chun confirmed that he was not hallucinating, so he went straight over.

Yingchun reacted and pulled Jia Huan over.

"What do you mean, how do you sell it?"

Jia Huan wiped away her tears and spoke again.

"Today I went to the master's yard to be punished as usual, and I heard the master talking to someone outside the door."

"If Tanchun can be the prince's successor, then he will be prosperous."

Jia Huan cried again.

Yingchun's face darkened. The prince must be quite old to marry again.

Tanchun was only ten years old, so he asked her to be the second wife of an older prince. This was to force Tanchun to death.

Tanchun covered his mouth and cried.

Yingchun embraces Tanchun.

"Sister, don't cry."

"It's not done yet, as long as the old lady is here."

"I will never let you do such a thing."

"big sister!"

Tanchun cried harder and harder in Yingchun's arms.

"The old lady will not care about such things. Even if she does, my parents' orders and the matchmaker's words, as long as the master decides that I must be sent to continue my marriage, then I have to go."

Yingchun patted Tanchun on the back, her face full of worry.

It's exactly what Tanchun said.

Although Jia Mu's prestige is high, there are things she can't control. (End of chapter)
