The Overlord of the Red Mansion

Chapter 312 Difficult to Understand
The court officials waited for more than an hour, but Jia Rong did not return.

Not long after, a eunuch came over quickly.

The ministers all looked at the eunuch who delivered the message, with polite expressions on their faces.

Unlike some people, who always look like they are in a bad mood every time they see a eunuch.

Today's eunuchs no longer have the power and status they once had. Jia Rong doesn't like to use eunuchs, so eunuchs don't have that much power.

But for the ministers in the court, it would not hurt to be polite to these eunuchs who were delivering messages for the Holy Palace.

The eunuch quickly said, "The Holy Queen said that the emperor went out to play as he said yesterday, so please disperse. When you find out where he went, we will get news from all over the country."

Everyone nodded and responded politely. At this time, they also saw in the distance that Empress Shengren and Empress Shenggong left with the concubines and princes and princesses.

After the people from the Holy Palace left, the people around them also began to disperse.

The Right Prime Minister thought about the direction Jia Rong flew out and suggested, "This time the Emperor is not on a private visit in disguise. It seems that he is going to the northwest. Let's send a message to inform him in the evening."

The Minister of War said, "I will send someone to notify the military officials in the direction of Rosa."

Everyone walked towards the palace office building together. It was not time to get off work yet.

Most of them are important officials of the country and they only think about matters related to the country.

"If something made of steel that can fly into the sky could be used in war, it would definitely be more effective than thousands of troops."

"If we drop bombs from above, it will definitely be a siege weapon! It will be indestructible! It can kill thousands of troops without any damage!!"

"And it flies very fast. It can cross mountains and hills in a short time!"

"With this item, hum! If those foreign tribes dare to cause trouble again, I will let them know how powerful the Holy Emperor is!"

"That's right. Whether it's a riot on the border or an uprising, with this super-fast thing, we won't have to worry about not being able to control those far-away places anymore!"

Everyone expressed their opinions at once.

The emergence of airplanes will change the pattern and way of fighting wars.

The King of Donghai was also among the eight ministers of state arranged by Jia Rong.

The King of Donghai has always been loyal. After all, Jia Rong is really a good man, very nice to everyone, and he also has his own way of governing the country.

Compared with Jia Rong, the previous three emperors are not even worthy of carrying his shoes.

Not only the King of Donghai, in fact, Jia Rong treats the royal family members much better than previous emperors.

Their own families treat them as thieves and are on guard against them. Many children of humble origins have a hard time finding jobs, and they have to save face even when they are extremely poor.

After Jia Rong ascended the throne, the living pressure of the people in the capital was directly reduced a lot, and their lives became ten times better than before.

There is really no one among the people who misses the previous emperor.

Even after becoming emperor, he had no intention of excluding dissidents. In fact, he was very popular. After becoming emperor, his popularity became even better. He would say whatever he wanted to say, and it was easy to guess.

When he was the Duke, he didn't have any enemies. Even the three assassins in the Three Masters Case had no intention of killing Jia Rong. Everyone knew that Jia Rong was a good person.

In Nuanxiang Palace, Lin Daiyu and others were still discussing where Jia Rong had flown to.

Shi Xiangyun shouted anxiously: "Hurry up and bring the map! Why haven't you brought it yet?"

Yuanyang looked at the door and said with a smile, "I just went out not long ago, just wait a while."

At this moment, Xueyan came down with a few books in her arms.

"Master, these are the books that His Majesty has published in recent years."

Xueyan put the book in her arms on the table and quickly stood aside waiting.

As Lin Daiyu's maid, she couldn't call her Miss or Madam or Grandma, so she used the word Master to address her masters.

Lin Daiyu and a few other girls sat at the table looking at some books that had been put down.

Tanchun picked up one at random, and the others also picked up one.

"Poems of Sheng Rong", "Elementary Chemistry Guide", "Battlefield Medical Guide", "On the King, Minister and Husband and Wife"

Wang Xifeng picked up a book, which was naturally the leisure book "On Ruler, Ministers, and Husband and Wife".

"What does this book mean? On the monarch, his subjects, and his wife... Is it talking about the ladies in the palace or us, the queens and concubines?"

Wang Xifeng was obviously more interested in this kind of thing.

Jia Tanchun smiled, and Yingchun also pursed her lips and said nothing.

Xue Baochai explained: "It talks about the relationship between the emperor and his subjects. It has been a common theme in various classical poems since ancient times. Since the Book of Songs and Chu Ci, many poets have expressed the complex emotions in their hearts through the relationship between husband and wife, which is also called the poem of resentful women."

"For example, some of them seem to be about women crying about how hard they worked in their husband's house, but in the end they were kicked out of the house." "In fact, it means that they were not reused and dismissed from office, but they could not be involved in the court, so they often use the relationship between men and women to use the sorrow of women being out of favor and abandoned as a metaphor for the poet's own frustration of not being able to use his talent and serve the country."

"Some poets also used the words of resentful women to express their anger at the court's failure to employ talented people and the country's decline."

Wang Xifeng opened her mouth and nodded quickly, "Oh, I see, so that's how it is."

She did understand a little bit, and asked, "So this book is for officials?"

Lin Daiyu replied, "That should be the case. The emperor hopes that they will serve as officials properly and not indulge in idle fantasies. He also hopes that they will establish meritorious services and gain respect through having children. The role of women is to give birth to children."

Tanchun didn't say anything. She lay on her side on the sofa, looking at the collection of Sheng Rong's poems in her arms.

Sheng Rong: Are you going to the woman's place? Don't forget to bring the whip! !

Sheng Rong: The path closest to a woman’s heart is a narrow and blocked road!
Sheng Rong: When you are with a woman, if you can't get hard, then all you will get is a life of pain, depression, lack of self-confidence and dignity.

Sometimes Jia Tanchun finds it difficult to understand Jia Rong. She clearly feels that Jia Rong is not such a superficial person. Not only is he a benevolent monarch who can become an emperor, but he is also a talented top scholar. His literary attainments are definitely higher than those of herself, Lin Daiyu and others combined.

But sometimes, I feel that Jia Rong is just scolding people.

Although he is scolding women, all women in the world may still be grateful to Jia Rong.

I don’t know how many wealthy widows avoided being eaten up because of Jia Rong, and I don’t know how many pregnant women escaped from the gates of hell because of Jia Rong.

In this feudal era, any woman who dares to stand up and say that Jia Rong scolded them would definitely be extremely brave!

If not corrected, this kind of woman will only bring disaster to the family.

The court scholars did not care about the emperor's rebuke of those women, nor did they dare to express any opinion.

While the people of the capital and the princes and nobles were discussing Jia Rong, Jia Rong had already flown above the grassland.

“It should be this location.”

While controlling the plane to continue flying, Jia Rong looked at the compass and then looked down at the map to find the direction.

The plane was traveling at a very high speed and encountered birds and air currents. Fortunately, Jia Rong reacted quickly and resolved the danger.

Jia Rong's eagle-like vision allows him to control direction better than most pilots, and his superhuman physique and balance allow him to escape quickly when something goes wrong with the plane.

As for the woman behind him...

Jia Rong had never thought about this problem, just like he never considered other members of the Jia family when he did things like killing nine generations of the family.

Since she doesn't even care about her own family, how could Jia Rong have the time to care about her?

The plane flew for more than four hours. When Jia Rong was crossing mountains and rivers, the woman behind him slowly opened his eyes.

"Where is this place? Am I dreaming?"

"No." Jia Rong turned around and glanced at the woman who had been tormented by him all night. "Sleep a little longer. We are flying in the sky now. You'd better not move around, otherwise something bad will happen."

Jia Rong quickly continued to fly the plane.

"Your Majesty!" Elizabeth's heart calmed down after seeing Jia Rong, and she remembered the scene where this tough man conquered her time and time again.

While flying the plane, Jia Rong said, "Isn't it awesome?"

Elizabeth had indeed enjoyed a great flight last night, but she soon saw the blue sky and white clouds outside the window, as well as the mountains, trees and snow-capped mountains below.

"We are in heaven?!"

Elizabeth looked at the carpet-like ground below in horror, never realizing how small the mountains were.

"Yes, I said I would let you go to heaven. Now we are heading to your country. Look down, maybe you can show me the way. This is the first time I have been to such a far place."

Jia Rong reminded him, "If you don't recognize me, forget it. If you close your eyes and mouth, it may be more helpful to me."

Elizabeth found that her body was tied very tightly and she felt pain in her chest and arms.

"I know the road. I think I've walked the road below before. It should be a little to the left. Can you let me go?"

"No."

Jia Rong quickly flew a little to the left, and then drove the plane forward. "Just move your mouth, don't move anything else. We will land when we reach Central Asia Province. I don't have time to take care of you now, my beauty~"

Elizabeth nodded obediently and began to look at the thrilling scenery below, while directing Jia Rong with a beating heart.

This kind of soaring romance made Elizabeth completely submit to the tough and great Holy Emperor in front of her.

Not long after, His Majesty the Great Holy Emperor landed the plane in the Central Asian province between Tsarist Russia and the Holy Dynasty.
