My Red Mansion Career

Chapter 141 Ready
Under the envious eyes of everyone, Jia Mu and Yuan Chun followed the young eunuch up to the high platform and came to where the White Queen and other royal family members were.

At this time, the place where the White Queen was sitting was not only filled with members of the royal family, but also a group of foreign ministers and female relatives surrounding her like stars over the moon.

Yuan Chunguang glanced over and saw the most top-notch female family members of Great Xia, such as the Princess of Dong'an County, the Princess of Xi'an, the Princess of Xining County, the Princess of Beijing, and Madam Zhen Guoming.

Seeing Jia Mu and Yuan Chun arriving, these female relatives looked at them with somewhat surprised eyes.

I saw Jia Mu solemnly saluting Queen Bai: "My widow, Jia Shi, has met the Queen Mother and the Queen Mother!"

Among the female relatives present, the Queen Mother was the most distinguished. When she saw Jia Mu saluting, she just nodded lightly, which was regarded as saying hello.

The White Queen quickly stood up, gently supported her with both hands, and said with a chuckle: "Old lady, aren't you trying to destroy me?
Apart from the two elders, the Supreme Emperor and the Empress Dowager, who in this dynasty can be worthy of this gift from you. "

Jia Mu shook her head: "The king, the king, the ministers, the father, the son, the son, this is the eternal truth. Let alone old age, even if the late husband is here, he must follow the etiquette."

"Old lady, you are really stubborn." The White Queen shook her head and laughed, turned to look behind her and said, "Come... arrange two seats for the old lady and Yuan Chun of the Jia family, and place them next to me. "

"Here!"

Hearing the White Queen's words, all the princesses and female family members were even more surprised.

Since the death of Jia Daihua and Jia Daishan, Ning Rong's second mansion has declined at a speed visible to the naked eye, all thanks to the support of Jia Mu, the Duke's wife.
In recent years, the female family members of the Jia family have not been invited to ordinary gatherings in the palace, which shows that the royal family has begun to dislike the Jia family. They never expected that Jia's mother and her granddaughter Jia Yuanchun would be invited to this military parade.

Could it be that he fell in love with Jia Yuanchun and wanted to be a matchmaker for any of the royal children?
But that’s not right... Although this Jia Yuanchun is indeed first-rate in appearance, I heard that he just got married a few days ago, and the person he married was...

By the way, the person I am marrying is the commander of the Five Cities Army and Horses Division who led the troops to be inspected by His Majesty today.

Jia Mu and Yuan Chun sat down amid a mixture of surprise, amusement and disdain.

After the two sat down, Jia Mu took the initiative to greet Princess Nan'an who was sitting beside her: "Old sister, we meet again."

"Yes, girls from Rongguo, we meet again." Princess Nan'an nodded: "It seems that we haven't met for more than ten years, right?"

"Yes...it's been 12 years." Mother Jia seemed to be feeling a little emotional, "I haven't seen her for more than ten years, but my sister is still the same as before, and she doesn't look older at all."

"There is no immortal person in the world."

Princess Nan'an let out a long sigh and shook her head as if she was a little disappointed: "I always dream about the old prince these days, maybe I am going to see him."

Mother Jia consoled her: "What can I say, sister? You are a blessed and long-lived person. It is not a problem to live for another 30 years."

"Ha ha……"

Princess Nan'an burst into laughter, "I'm already eighty-two this year. If I live another 30 years, I won't be an old monster."

Two old people, Jia Mu and Princess Nan'an, were talking, while the younger female family members on the side were secretly looking at Yuan Chun, who was sitting aside and saying nothing.

Many people were still secretly laughing in their hearts. As the eldest daughter of the Duke of Rongguo, she actually married a commander of the Five Cities Army and Horses Division. This was an out-and-out marriage.

Although the female relatives present were all smiling and sitting in a dignified posture, they actually did not like to see the Jia family. The reason was still a matter of taking sides.

The nobles of Daxia have always been supporters of the Supreme Emperor. In recent years, the Jia family first gave up martial arts and became civil servants. Ten years ago, they even sent their daughter to the palace, making it clear that they wanted to rely on their daughter to help Emperor Changping ascend to the throne. In this way His actions were naturally abandoned by the nobles.

As a result, the Jia family and the honorable nobles naturally became more and more alienated, and they naturally stopped taking the Jia family to play with them. …………

At this time, a group of important ministers under the stage of Emperor Changping and the Supreme Emperor were also talking in twos and threes.

Ye Zuo, the Minister of Household Affairs who is also the cabinet minister, asked Wang Zhijie in a low voice: "Old Wang Ge, from what you can see, what is the profound meaning of His Majesty's actions this time?"

Wang Zhijie said calmly: "As a minister, how can you predict the emperor's heart? But as the saying goes, you can know the whole leopard by looking at one spot.

His Majesty's move was simply to appease the officials and the people through a military parade. His intentions were naturally good, but in my opinion, His Majesty's work was probably in vain.

Now that Tongguan has been lost, the Mongolian Tatars may invade Shenjing at any time.Your Majesty does not think about how to strengthen the city walls and recruit strong people, but instead does these fancy things. This is putting the cart before the horse. "

Wang Zhijie's words would naturally sound disrespectful to other officials, but as the Second Assistant to the Cabinet, it would be hard for others to say anything when he said such words.

Ye Zuo also sighed: "When Tongguan falls, my cabinet will naturally bear the brunt, and it is inevitable that Your Majesty will have complaints against us.

Mr. Wang Ge, you must also understand His Majesty's difficulties. "

"Of course I know, otherwise I would have spoken out against it." Wang Zhijie was still very dissatisfied with this military parade in his heart.

In his opinion, this is just a farce to please the public.

Oh...you can revive people's hearts by asking a group of Qiu Ba to walk twice in front of officials and people?

Isn't this a joke?
It's not like he hasn't thought about objecting, but Tan Qingyun's lesson is right in front of him.

He is not stupid, so naturally he will not get into trouble with Emperor Changping at this time.

In fact, not only him, but many officials in the DPRK and China also believed that this military parade was just a farce.

Coupled with the hot weather, many people had beads of sweat on their foreheads, and some even started to curse.

Just when everyone started to make noise, a low horn sounded from a distance.

The sound of the horn seemed to be just the beginning, and then everyone heard the sound of rapid horse hooves.

Along with the sound of horse hooves, a bay-red horse began to appear in front of everyone.

Immediately afterwards, a young general in full armor appeared in front of everyone.

As if showing off his riding skills, the general quickly rode his horse to the high platform outside the Meridian Gate, and was about to rush to the high platform.

The hundreds of guards guarding the high platform also began to become nervous. Just when they were still hesitating whether to stop the intruder, they saw the general pull the reins of the horse, and heard a neighing sound, and the sound of the war horse. The front hooves were raised high and stayed in the air for several seconds before they stepped heavily on the bluestone with a crisp sound.

Then I saw the knight jump off his horse, strode to the high platform, raised his right hand to his chest with a snap, and said loudly in the direction of Emperor Changping and the Supreme Emperor: "General Zhaoyong, commander of the Five Cities Army and Horses Division" Jia Yu was ordered to lead his army to be reviewed by his two majesties, civil and military officials, and the people of the city.

Now that the preparations are complete, please give me your instructions! "
