Red Mansion: Bastards rule the roost

Chapter 434 Yubi Goujue
Everyone in the new party in the palace had already spoken out to refute it, and they were quarreling with the old party.

No matter what the old party says, the new party and the Central People's Liberation Army only cling to the founding fathers and should not be looked down upon by ordinary people. They should demand a lighter sentence on the grounds of the "Eight Discussions".

The old party holds high the banner of "the law is the order of the world and the appearance of all things", saying that those who govern the country must put observance of the law first. It seems that if they don't kill these people, the country will not be able to survive.

Everyone knew that this was the last battle, and whether they supported or defeated him, they all unleashed their energy and energy that they had accumulated for several days, with full firepower.

Everyone was frothing at the mouth, quoting scriptures, and quarreling with each other. No matter how the picket censor scolded and suppressed, it had no effect.

Prince Zhongxin was very worried. He was used to living a hard life, and he finally improved his life with Jia Cong, so he could not let him fall easily.

Because he was picking on the front of a Duke of Fengen Town, he yelled, "Xiao Wu, I hugged you when you were a child, and now you dare to scold me. You are so fucking rebellious!"

The more he spoke, the angrier he became, and he slapped the Duke of Zhen on the face hard, knocking him out.

The Duke of Zhenguo was not as high as him, his seniority was not as high as his, and he had no position. Although he was young and strong, he dared not fight with him. His face turned purple with anger and his fists clenched.

Prince Zhongxin snorted coldly: "Why, you won't surrender?"

Prince Zhongshun frowned and said: "Zhongxin, how can you beat someone in the court? How unbecoming!"

Prince Zhongxin said with a smile: "Second brother, what's the value of teaching a few younger generations who don't understand the rules? If you have any objections, you might as well report it to the Holy One. I am willing to accept the punishment."

Shameless! Everyone in the clan secretly cursed that the loyal princes were a generation older than the present ones. They just taught a few junior clan members a lesson, and the emperor just pretended not to see it.

Prince Zhongshun was very angry and ignored him. The most important thing today was to deal with the Jia family. Zhongxin, a scoundrel, couldn't afford to make any trouble.

On the other side, Fatty Feng took advantage of the "rioting" in the palace, yelling and writing, and got into a group. At some point, he "rolled" into the honorable team, dragging Niu Jizong and others.

He said in a low voice: "You guys, please work harder. The Jia family is finished, and you and your family won't get any good results either."

Niu Jizong, Liu Fang, Hou Xiaokang and others hurriedly said: "Don't worry, sir, we will understand."

Fatty Feng "rolled" into the clan team again to help Prince Zhongxin hold up the scene. The two fat men chatted with the Confucian scholars, and after a few words, the young and energetic clan princes got on top, rolled up their sleeves, and started fighting.

"Hit me! Two more people will pull his feet, twist his hands, hold him down, and ask him if he is lying down."

Fatty Feng huddled aside and pumped his fists to cheer, fearing that the world would not be in chaos. Now his idea is to muddy the water first before fishing in troubled waters.

Prince Zhongxin also encouraged him: "Xiaoba, Xiaoliu and Xiaotwelve, all come to me! If you knock down the next one, your uncle will reward you with a thousand silver coins."

"I have the order!" Several young men from the clan rushed out with their belts tied, and started to fight with their cousins.

Suddenly, dozens of clan members were in a huddle in the hall. They relied on their Tian family blood and didn't pay much attention to the court rules. Anyway, it was a rare occasion for them to go to the hall, and they would just mess around. At worst, they wouldn't be able to come back next time.

Seeing the "fierce fighting" here, all the nobles and ministers got out of the way and allowed these phoenixes and grandsons to "confront each other".

Prince Zhongshun was panting and unable to stop drinking. He suddenly realized that something was wrong, pointed at Feng Yuan and said angrily: "Master Feng, what do the clan affairs have to do with you?"

Feng Yuan cupped his hands and said with a smile: "I saw that the princes and princes were very chatty, so I came here to discuss and ask for advice. Since the princes don't like it, I will leave." After saying that, he slipped back to the ranks of civil servants.

Several of the censors on the pickets were almost hoarse from shouting, but no one listened. They were so anxious that they stamped their feet.

Suddenly, a sharp and high-pitched voice was heard outside the palace, and Xia Shouzhong led several eunuchs in.

"The Emperor's Handwriting."

Everyone in the hall hurriedly quieted down and prostrated together.

Emperor Xifeng smiled coldly and stood up.

Just listen to Xia Shouzhong preaching: "My ministers, you have been clamoring for a long time over the Jia family case, which has delayed the government. What kind of behavior is it? This case is harmful to the law of heaven and hurts people. Why should we discuss it again? Everyone in the Jia family, behead!"

"The Holy Emperor and the Holy Ming." The Supreme Emperor made his position clear, and all the officials in the clan had no choice but to kowtow.

The members of the New Party, Prince Zhongxin, Feng Yuan and others frowned and secretly looked at Emperor Xifeng. Jin was the only one who could save his life.

Emperor Xifeng took the handwriting of the Supreme Emperor and looked at it. He pondered for a moment and said calmly: "Since the Holy Emperor has the decree, this case does not need to be discussed further."

After speaking, he picked up the ink pen, ticked off the names of Jia Cong and three other people and all those who should be sentenced on the memorial, and returned it to the Ministry of Punishment on the spot.

The old party was overjoyed. Shi Zhize and three other bachelors took the lead and said in unison: "Your Majesty is wise."

Everyone in the New Party was shocked. Was this battle just lost?
Huo Peng and Dong Yi frowned. Without Jia Cong, things would be a little troublesome in the future.

Lin Ruhai sighed, the star has fallen, and the Jia family is in danger.

Zhongxin and Feng Yuan looked at each other and saw the helplessness in each other's eyes.

Ningshou Palace, Leshou Hall

Xia Shouzhong came in quietly and said: "Reporting to the Holy Emperor, the servant has handed down the handwritten edict, and the Emperor has executed all the offenders in the hall."

The Supreme Emperor smiled slightly, stood up from the kang, and sat on a red sandalwood throne inlaid with boxwood, clouds, and dragon patterns. On both sides of the throne was a gilt copper square tripod with Kui dragon patterns, emitting a faint scent of sandalwood.

"Shou Zhong, it seems that I can keep my word?" The Supreme Emperor chuckled.

Xia Shouzhong hurriedly bowed and said: "The Holy Emperor pronounces the Constitution of Heaven, and he naturally follows the law and follows his words. Now that you are benevolent and filial, you will obey the Holy Edict of the Supreme Emperor."

The Supreme Emperor caressed the dragon head carved on the armrest of the throne and said: "I have not paid attention to worldly affairs these years, thinking that the world is peaceful.

It is unspeakable that a mere Jia Cong could cause uproar in the city, go on a massacre in the south of the Yangtze River, and kill the people. "

Xia Shouzhong said hurriedly: "Therefore, all the princes and adults hope that the Holy Emperor will take the safety of the world and the rise and fall of the country as his top priority, and work tirelessly to listen to politics and take care of affairs."

The Supreme Emperor twisted his beard and smiled and said: "I am old and have no interest in political affairs. If they have any ideas, I will tell you tomorrow." , what is in my heart is to move forward far away.

Therefore, regardless of the suffering of the people and tampering with the laws of the ancestors, it is really unlucky for the country. Only the Holy Emperor can set things right, rectify the source of chaos, and protect the country that the ancestors laid down. "

The Supreme Emperor nodded slowly and said: "The laws of our ancestors cannot be tampered with. The emperor is a little anxious. We will discuss this matter after the Jia family is dealt with."

The Supreme Emperor issued an edict, and the news came that Jia Jing, Jia Cong, and Jia Rong were to be executed, and everyone in the two houses was frightened.

Everyone was afraid of shocking the old lady, so they kept it secret from Jia Mu and pretended it was nothing.

In the Rongxi Hall, when the girls heard the news, they felt as if they were struck by lightning. The Wanyan sisters looked at each other without saying a word, dressed up and left.

Sister Feng's face was pale, her heart was ashen, and her expression was dull.

Chu Chan hurriedly supported her and shouted: "Girl Feng, cheer up, Cong'er is the only flesh and blood in your belly."

Sister Feng came back to her senses after hearing this, biting her lower lip, stroking her lower abdomen with tears in her eyes, and nodded.

Qingwen was already in a daze here, her tears rolling down like broken pearls. As if she hadn't realized it, Qianxue held her up, her tears also falling like rain, and she sobbed silently.

Suddenly they saw Qingwen getting up and rummaging through boxes and cabinets. Qianxue and Jin Chuaner hurriedly asked her.

Qingwen looked dull and said: "Find a piece of gold."

"doing what?"

"After eating, follow the third master." Qingwen said sadly.

"Bastard!" Chu Chan comforted Sister Feng, then came over and shouted sternly: "Why are you anxious to die? If you want to die, you should take care of Cong'er's funeral first."

Qingwen was startled, came to her senses, wiped her face with her backhand, and said: "What my sister said is that I was confused.

Third Master treated me with great kindness, so I should take care of his affairs before I can go find him. "

Chu Chan glared at her angrily and said, "The matter hasn't been settled yet, why are you so worried?

Cong'er was so young that he fought on the battlefield and fought with thousands of troops, but he didn't even take his life. How could he die so easily? "

After all, she comes from a wealthy family, has rich experience, and a strong mind, which is comparable to ordinary women, and she is still calm and collected at this point.

Everyone was at a loss. Sister Feng was pregnant again and tired, so they all listened to her arrangements.

"Jinchuan'er, go ask Mr. Pang."

"Qingwen sent someone to ask the imperial doctor to show Feng Yatou a look."

"Qianxue went to see Baochai and Daiyu, and told them not to worry and to take care of themselves. Everything depends on people."

"Ping'er serves Feng Yatou and goes to lie down."

Everyone hurriedly followed orders.

Not long after, Jin Chuan'er reported back: "Mr. Pang said it's okay and he has gone to appease the old lady."

Although everyone did not know the reason, they breathed a sigh of relief for no reason. Mr. Pang was so trusted by Jia Cong, so he must be right.

Rongqingtang

Seeing the panic on everyone's faces, Jia's mother was asking, "How dare the two wives and sisters tell me?" They all said that nothing happened, but their expressions clearly meant that a disaster was imminent.

It happened that Pang Chao asked to see him, and everyone hurriedly took the opportunity to retreat.

Jia Mu hurriedly asked: "Sir, something happened?"

Pang Chao hurriedly comforted him: "Don't worry, old lady, everything has not gone beyond expectations. Now you still need to take care of your health."

Jia Mu said anxiously: "Sir, just tell me directly."

Pang Chao explained the matter and said in a low voice: "Old lady, please don't be impatient. This matter involves a struggle for imperial power. It is not a trivial matter. Chao is sure there is a mystery in it."

Jia Muru grasped at straws and said in a trembling voice: "Why are you so sure, sir? Can the Emperor's will be changed?"

Pang Chao said in a low voice: "It is precisely because it is the will of the Supreme Emperor that I must do the opposite.

Even if Jin Shang really wanted to kill Brother Cong, he would not kill him. What's more, I don't want to kill him now. "

"Why?"

"Today's great talents and great strategies dare to abolish the laws of our ancestors. Don't we dare to disobey the Supreme Emperor?
In other words, if even the Supreme Emperor can't disobey him, why should he reform the old and make new things? Pang Chao said softly.

After hearing this, Jia Mu thought for a moment, and then she thought deeply about it. She nodded slowly and said, "How sure are you, sir?"

Pang Chao stretched out his thumb and index finger and made an "eight" sign.

Jia Mu felt relaxed and said, "Thank you, sir."

Pang Chao bowed his hands and said goodbye, sighing in his heart. Although he was only 30% sure, in order to comfort the old lady, he had no choice but to resort to an empty city strategy.

The last resort measures must also be arranged, just in case.

When Baochai and Daiyu heard the bad news, they were already devastated and devastated. After seeing Jia Mu and Pang Chao having a secret conversation, their expressions softened and their souls returned to their original state, but their hearts never dared to let go. .
