Red Mansion Jia Enhou

Chapter 347: Support the young master. Your Lian'er's marriage is in my hands. (Please subscribe!)

The female voice was that of the current empress dowager. When she saw the retired emperor, her face was still cold.

The emperor raised his head.

"I am the emperor emeritus, how can I leave the palace?"

Li Quande was a little confused. It turned out that you knew you were the emperor emeritus and were just making fun of them, the palace maids.

Their lives are indeed cheap.
At the palace gate, more and more officials gathered.

The Zhen family members kneeling at the door felt their faces getting hotter and hotter as they saw more and more people gathering around them.

The palace gates opened and officials poured in.

As for the people of the Zhen family, they can finally breathe a sigh of relief.

"Brother, we shouldn't kneel here."

"It's been a whole night. Has the Emperor forgiven you?"

The eldest son of the Zhen family glanced at the second son of the Zhen family who was speaking.

"If you don't speak, no one will think you're dead!"

The eldest son of the Zhen family spoke without any politeness. The second son of the Zhen family stood up from the ground with an ugly look on his face.

"If you want to kneel, then keep kneeling!"

Zhen Erlang left, followed by Sanlang, Qilang and Balang.

Now the only ones kneeling at the gate of the palace are Zhen Dalang, Zhen Silang and Zhen Liulang.

The news of the Zhen family kneeling at the gate of the imperial palace spread throughout the streets and alleys of the capital.

At this moment, the retired emperor was still sitting on the stone steps at the entrance of the palace, and the empress dowager was helped to sit down together.

"Why are there so many unfilial people in this world?"

The seated empress dowager glanced at the emperor who was speaking.

"Who is the unfilial son that Your Majesty is referring to?"

If it's the emperor, don't blame her for turning against him.

A bitter smile appeared on the face of the emperor.

"Xintong, don't get excited. The unfilial son I mentioned is not the fourth child."

The Queen Mother put away the spikes she had raised, and the bitter smile on the face of the Emperor became even more severe.

He is the real loner.
"Your Majesty, do you miss Empress Xiaochun?"

The retired emperor did not speak, and the empress dowager's eyes fell on him.

"I remember that when Empress Xiaochun was alive, His Majesty was often depressed, but never like this."

"Have you seen the Queen?"

The retired emperor looked at the empress dowager in shock, and the empress dowager nodded to him.

"How come I haven't seen it before?"

"When I was a maid, I once worked in the Queen's palace."

"Not long after I took office, the Queen passed away. Later, I was transferred to the Six Departments of the Inner Palace and became an embroiderer at the Silk Bureau!"

The Queen Mother looked at the Emperor as if he were a beast.

The embroiderer is not spared
The emperor, whose secrets were exposed, showed an embarrassed look on his face.

"I also had sex after drinking, but didn't I give you a legitimate status later?"

The Queen Mother sneered.

Is a little beauty also considered a status?

Or she found out she was pregnant and tried her best to have the baby.

"Okay, okay, let's not talk about this anymore. I am sorry for you."

Seeing the empress dowager about to get angry again, the emperor closed his mouth, but his mouth was just mean.

The unconvinced emperor spoke again.

"I will treat you well later."

"After you give birth to the child, can I give you a promotion?"

"I wanted to give you the position of concubine directly, but..."

The words of the retired emperor came to an abrupt halt because he thought of Concubine Zhen in the nunnery outside the city and dared not continue.

"Only that bitch Zhen wouldn't let me?"

The empress dowager glanced at the emperor emeritus, and the emperor emeritus' silence was considered her assent.

The Queen Mother began to sneer.

"Don't talk about this, don't talk about that."

Seeing that the empress dowager was about to get angry again, the emperor changed the subject.

"Let's continue. Why are there so many unfilial descendants in this world?"

"The unworthy descendants I'm talking about are the Zhen family, Yi Zhong, and Jia Zheng from Rong Mansion."

The retired emperor, fearing that the empress dowager would misunderstand him again, quickly listed the names of the unfilial descendants he had mentioned.

The Queen Mother glanced at the Emperor who was speaking.

"The Zhen family and Jia Zheng are indeed beasts, but Prince Yi Zhong is not"

"Yi Zhong was forced by Your Majesty"

There's really no point in chatting today.

The retired emperor stopped talking, and the empress dowager, whose personality the retired emperor disliked, stood up from beside him.

"Although the old lady of the Zhen family has done a favor to His Majesty, His Majesty has almost repaid her."

"If it weren't for Your Majesty, she would be nothing more than an old woman in the countryside now, so Your Majesty, do you understand what I am saying?"

"Da Chu can't be rotten anymore!"

The emperor lowered his head.

The Queen Mother took one last look at the Emperor, then turned and left.

In the court, the morning session is still so boring, but one has to punch in.

Jia She sat among the ministers, his eyelids twitching constantly.

Sure enough, he was kept in detention again.

What was the last time you were given detention?

Anyway, it’s true that nothing good happens.

"His Majesty!"

Jia She stood up and saluted the emperor who was sitting on the throne, and the emperor asked someone to take out a letter.

"Enhou, you know something about the northwest. Show me."

Jia She took the envelope from the emperor.

The Tatars seem to be united, but in reality they are not as united as imagined.

There is strife within its scattered tribes.

This also led to the small population of Tatar. Now the Tatars suddenly wrote a letter to the emperor.

What does this mean.
Jia She took a quick glance and then looked at the emperor in shock.

"Your Majesty"

"Your Majesty, are you sure that it was written by Nasotu?"

Jia She had some impression of the name Suotu, who was the current patriarch of the second largest Tatar tribe.

He is also the prime minister of Tatar.

If he wanted to rebel against the current Tatar Khan, it would be a sure thing as long as the Great Chu was willing to take action.

"Look at this one again"

And the Tatars are too disunited.

Jia She took it and started reading it again. It was written by Princess Jincheng, who wanted to support her brother to become the Khan of Tatar.

As long as Da Chu is willing to support her younger brother and let her be regent.

She was willing to cut off Mobei and withdraw troops from the three provinces of Liaodong, completely giving the three provinces of Liaodong to the Great Chu.

Besides this, there is one more thing.
It was the heads of Wang Ziteng and Mrs. Wang, and Jia She's eyes shrank slightly.

These conditions are much more than those given by Suotu, but the difficulty is also a little greater than expected.

"Which one would you like to choose, Your Majesty?"

Jia She didn't care about Wang Ziteng. The reason was simple: no matter who came to power, Wang Ziteng would not live long.

The emperor looked at Jia She and spoke.

"I want to choose Princess Jincheng"

The young ruler is the easiest to control. Choose Princess Jincheng and support the young Tatar ruler to take the throne. In this way, the Tatars will have no choice but to rely on the Great Chu.

If they chose Sotu, it would be like raising a tiger to harm themselves. They would kill one Tatar Khan and then raise another one.

"Just think it over, Your Majesty."

"It is extremely difficult to support Princess Jincheng and her younger brother. The first thing to deal with is Suotu." "If Suotu is not dead, the young master cannot be supported."

Jia She handed the letter in his hand back to the emperor with both hands.

The emperor looked at the two letters on the table and his mind was made up.

No matter how difficult it is to support the young master, we must support him.

By supporting such a young ruler, the Great Chu can resolve border problems for a hundred years.

"Do you have a solution to that Sotu?"

The emperor looked at Jia She and spoke. The purpose of calling Jia She here was to help him think of a way to solve the problem of Suotu.

Jia She breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that someone was looking for him for something.

"What I know about the Northwest is what my father and I have told me. I really don't know what the situation in the Northwest is like now."

"Your Majesty, why don't you ask someone else to ask? I really can't think of any good way to deal with it."

Jia She spoke to the emperor.

The emperor's face darkened and he asked someone to call Niu Ben.

Niu Ben had been to the northwest some time ago, so he should have a better understanding of the current situation of Tatar.

Soon Niu Ben told the emperor all about the situation in the northwest.

The emperor looked at Jia She again.

"Does Lord En have any countermeasures now?"

"Enhou, you have also heard that the Tatar Khan seems to value Sotu, but in fact he is on guard against him."

"Is there any way to get the Tatar Khan to send Suotu out?"

"As long as you send them out, I have a way to kill Suotu, and then cooperate with Princess Jincheng to capture the Tatar Khan."

Jia She thought hard that if he were the Tatar Khan, he would never let Sotu go to the battlefield.

Sotu's tribe has grown large enough. If he is allowed to gain military merit, he will become a threat to his master.

And if this gives him a chance to weaken Nasotu, would the Tatar Khan send Nasotu?

Jia She's eyes fell on the emperor.

"If Your Majesty were the Tatar Khan, what would you do when facing Sotu?"

Jia She stood up while thinking.

Listening to Jia She's question, the emperor frowned.

If he were a Tatar Khan
"I will do my best to weaken the hidden danger of Sotu."

"No matter how high the cost, I will do it."

"That is it, Your Majesty."

Jia She saluted the emperor.

"It may not be accurate to judge others by oneself, but human nature is the same. If Your Majesty wants Suotu to come out, you only need to reveal the military intelligence to the Tatar Khan and tell him where the armies of the Great Chu and the Later Jin will ambush."

"The Tatar Khan will send Suotu, but..."

Jia She paused, and the emperor and Niu Ben frowned.

"But we have to make sure that Nasuotu and the Tatar Khan have a complete falling out. Only when they really fall out and split, will the Tatar Khan take the risk and lead Nasuotu into the trap we designed."

The emperor looked at Niu Ben, and Niu Ben nodded to him.

Agreed with Jia She's strategy.

"How can I make the Tatar Khan and Suotu completely break up?"

Jia She smiled at the emperor.

"Your Majesty must go find Princess Jincheng."

"Then how can Princess Jincheng, as the beneficiary, do nothing?"

Jia She looked at the emperor with a smile, and a meaningful smile appeared on the emperor's face.

"Perhaps I can even ask Princess Jincheng to pay tribute."

Once Sotu dies, the power of Tatar will drop to freezing point.

The Great Chu is short of horses. If this can be accomplished, it will completely solve the dilemma of the Great Chu being short of horses.

"Your Majesty, don't forget my Zhuangzi from Liaodong. I want three."

Jia She raised his finger as if to show off, and the emperor couldn't help laughing.

"I'll give you five!"

"Then I will thank Your Majesty."

Jia She and the emperor had a harmonious conversation with each other, and the emperor couldn't stop laughing.

"I heard that you have been discussing marriage with the Pei family recently?"

Jia She frowned and nodded. Looking at Jia She's expression, the emperor couldn't help but say more.

"But Prime Minister Pei didn't like it?"

Jia She shook his head at the emperor, saying that Pei Mian’s problem was easy to deal with.

With his relationship with Pei Mian, it would be no problem for them to become relatives, but the difficult part was the Third Miss Pei.

If the girl doesn't want to, there's no point in forcing her.

"Don't ask any more questions, Your Majesty!"

"I understand."

The emperor remembered the incident involving Jia Lian that had caused a stir in the city some time ago.

"Young people need to spend more time with each other. Only by spending more time with each other can we have opportunities."

"Don't worry about this, Lord En. I've seen your Jia Lian and he's a good man. It's a good thing for Prime Minister Pei's daughter to marry him. Leave it to me and I'll let the Queen make the arrangements."

Jia She looked at the emperor with gratitude.

Some things are easier for people in higher positions to handle, such as matchmaking.

"I thank your Majesty!"

"polite!"

Jia She said goodbye to the emperor and left.

Niu Ben, who had been silent until outside the palace, finally spoke.

"Lord En, can your Lian'er wait?"

"The girl from Prime Minister Pei's family doesn't like him, but I do."

"Give me a chance. Your sister-in-law and I will work hard and try to give you a girl next year."

Jia She’s mouth twitched. You really dare to say that!

Jia Lian is thirteen now, and he will be fourteen when your daughter comes out.

By the time your daughter grows up and gets married, she will be thirty years old.

At the age of thirty, modern people who are open-minded are considered unmarried, not to mention the age when people in their thirties have grandchildren.

"Brother Niu, please don't make a fuss. When you and your sister-in-law have a daughter and she grows up, how old will my Lian'er be?"

"Isn't my eldest niece already engaged to your third child?"

"Why are you still thinking about Lian'er?"

A barely perceptible trace of disappointment appeared on Niu Ben's face.

Can this be the same?
Your Jia Lian will at least be a duke in the future. If your daughter marries him, he can still make do with it.

But if she is just a niece, who can guarantee that the relationship between the Niu and Jia families can continue?
Niu Ben is worried about this.

It is disgusting that the four kings and eight dukes stick together, but it has to be said that sometimes only by sticking together can you survive longer.

"Brother Niu, please stop making trouble."

Jia She, who couldn't stand Niu Ben's expression, pushed Niu Ben.

Niu Ben's eyes were still full of resentment.

"Just tell me why you arranged the marriage for your girl so early?"

"You can choose from four young men in my family. Why don't you take a look at the four in my family?"

"I've seen Shi Chang before. He's a very evil man. If you marry your daughter to him, won't she be controlled to death?"

Niu Ben kept talking bad about Shi Chang in Jia She's ear.

Jia She's eyes were full of helplessness. It was not until he got home that Jia She's ears were finally at peace.

However, before he could sit there for long, he continued to mourn in the capital and then carried the tripod of the historian to find Jia She.

Jia She had an extremely good impression of this cousin.

If we were to ask who is the strongest second generation of his generation in the Red Mansion, it would definitely be Shi Ding.

Without mentioning anything else, let’s just ask, among his generation, how many people were not demoted?
But Shi Ding was the only one who earned himself the position of a marquis. His ability is self-evident.

But now Shi Ding has no title.

I guess the reason I went to see him this time was because I wanted to go to the battlefield.

As a true warrior, what Shi Ding lacks most is an opportunity to fight on the battlefield head-on.

The war between Great Chu and Tatar is inevitable.
