A Dream of Red Mansions: the Strongest Playboy

Sure enough, Emperor Yongzheng was in a good mood just now, but he was immediately ruined by Hongli, he threw the battle report on Hongli's face, and scolded: "You idiot, you are really an idiot, you hope so. King Jia Jun returned from a disastrous defeat, so you hope that I will remove your treasured prince position? King Jia fought hard against the Spaniards, but you want him to lose. What is your motive? You are still my elder. The prince of Qing?"

When Hongli heard what Yongzheng said, he hurriedly picked up the battle report that fell on his face, saying that this Hongli was also pitiful, a dignified prince who was slapped in the face every day.After Hongli read the text on the battle report, he panicked and didn't know what to say.

He had to kneel and say: "Emperor Ama calm down, my son really didn't expect King Jia Jun to be so brave. After all, the strength of the Spaniards is not weak. King Jia and son are both prosperous, and they are both lost. Naturally, the son is naturally I really hope that King Jia will win, but I am worried that King Jia will lie about the situation in order to avoid punishment."

At this moment, another footstep sounded outside the hall, hurriedly running, only to hear "Report! I report to the emperor, one hundred thousand urgent, the post house received the Luzon messenger with the country of Princess Valega of Luzon. Book."

Emperor Yongzheng hurriedly said: "Quick, civil and military officials, prepare the etiquette, and the messenger will present the national letter."

I saw a letter of credentials presented by the eunuch, which read: "Valega of Luzon is hereby presented to His Majesty the Great Emperor of the Qing Dynasty, and I am very grateful to His Majesty the Great Emperor for his generous help in saving Luzon from the fire. It is worthy of being the lord of all nations among the four seas, the celestial kingdom, the kingdom of benevolence, righteousness, courtesy and love, His Royal Highness Jia Baoyu of your country, who is unparalleled in bravery, slaying the thieves of the Spanish barbarians, and restoring our Luzon society. It is no wonder that there are such capable and fierce generals People from all over the world serve, and all the states come to the dynasty. The country of Luzon is willing to surrender to the Qing Dynasty forever and pay tribute. I also hope that Prince Jia can stay in Luzon temporarily to help the country stabilize the dynasty.”

Emperor Yongzheng saw what was said in this national letter, and immediately felt as refreshed as drinking a cup of iced sour plum soup in June, he laughed, and said to the Luzon envoy: "Queen Luzon is polite, the vassal is in trouble, the suzerain is in trouble. Rescue, at this time the responsibility of our suzerain country, please tell your queen, I agree to her request, I will order to keep King Jia Jun there for a period of time to help her stabilize the society."

Then he said to the people around him: "Su Peisheng, go and take the messenger down and reward him with gold and silver treasures to comfort him for delivering such good news. By the way, go to the treasury quickly and pick a few treasures for the messenger from Luzon to take away... ...remember to return the gift to show the generosity of my kingdom"

The tributary trade has been like this since ancient times, and the Central Plains dynasties often returned much more than the tributaries paid by their vassals.Moreover, Yongzheng was a very happy emperor. Lu Song had not come to pay tribute for many years. He finally came to pay tribute this time.

Chapter 427 Prince Heshuo [3]

After Su Peisheng went down with the messenger, Yongzheng saw Hongli standing beside him, and immediately became angry and said coldly, "Is this what you call lying about the battle situation? This is the severe punishment you asked for. Jia Baoyu?"

Hongli was silent for a while. He didn't know what to say anymore. This time, his mind was short-circuited and he didn't make this move well. Originally, Hongli's move was very good. Jia When Baoyu lost, he got rid of the enemy; when Jia Baoyu won, he kept his position as prince.But now that he has come to this situation, it is really impulsive and devilish.

I just heard Yongzheng say angrily: "Since you don't want your position as a treasured prince so much, then just don't do it, leave this empty and leave it to others."

When Hongli heard what Yongzheng said, he panicked immediately. He never expected Huang Ama to be so angry.In fact, it was not so serious at first. The key is that Lu Song's national letter was also sent immediately. If you don't deal with Hongli at this time, it will not appear majestic in front of the vassal.

Hongli hurriedly knelt down and said, "Emperor Ama, calm down, this is really not my son's intention, and my son naturally hopes that King Jia Jun will win."

Zhang Tingyu and other old officials also stood up and said: "Think twice, Your Majesty, Prince Bao has made great achievements in knowing people this time. Thanks to Prince Bao's recommendation of King Jia Jun, we were able to win against the Spaniards. Besides, Prince Bao is still young and ignorant and has no knowledge of wars. It's normal to make wrong judgments."

Hearing Zhang Tingyu say this, Yongzheng finally let go of his anger and turned to ask King Xiangbeijing and Prince Jin, "What do you two think? How do you say I should punish Hongli?"

Beijing Wang Shuirong and Jin Prince Hongshi looked at each other, and the Beijing Dynasty nodded to Prince Jin, so Prince Jin Hongshi stepped forward and said, "Father, my son thinks that although the fourth brother is a little reckless, he has no idea about the war. I know it too well, but at least the fourth brother found a god of war for me in the Qing Dynasty, so my son also urges the father and emperor to take back his life and spare the fourth brother this time."

At this time, King Shuirong of Beijing and Prince Hong of Jin discussed the results between the envoys from Lu Song at the temple. At this time, Hongli was abolished, and it was difficult for them to benefit from it. Moreover, if Yongzheng abolished Hongli, Naturally, the reward given to Jia Baoyu will be much less, so Hongshi and Shuishun unanimously decided to let Hongli go.

Sure enough, after hearing what Hong Shi said, Yong Zheng also lost his anger and said, "Since Heng Chen and your third brother are both begging for you, then I can let you go this time, but the punishment that should be given is still there. Starting today, the supply of Yiying in Prince Bao Hongli's mansion will be halved, all food and clothing expenses will be halved, and all the halved supplies will be supplied to Prince Jin's mansion to thank your third brother for interceding for you, Hongli, you don't have any opinion?"

Hongli said frustratedly: "My son has no objection, and I also thank the third brother for interceding for the emperor's younger brother."

Hong Shi smiled and said, "Haha, fourth brother doesn't need to be grateful. You and my brother are a family, so why not be grateful." Hong Shi was not too happy at this time, although he didn't care about half of the supply from Hongli Mansion, But at any rate, Huang Ama's attitude towards him changed at this time.

At this time, Yongzheng asked the ministers again on the stage: "My ministers, these things have been said, let's talk about how to reward our King Jia Jun. What advice do you have?"

I saw Zhang Tingyu stand up and say: "Your Majesty, King Jia Jun is already a very personable minister at this time. In terms of title, King Jia Jun is a noble iron hat king, and hereditary is irreplaceable; in terms of rank, King Jia Jun is one of a kind. Waiting for the general. Forgive the old minister to say bluntly, the king of Jia Jun is really no seal."

Yongzheng sighed and said, "Ah~ this is exactly what worries me. I really don't know what to reward Jia Baoyu, but the problem is, you can't help but reward you for meritorious deeds."

Suddenly, Prince Bao Hongli stood up and said, "Emperor Ama, please allow my son to say a word."

Yongzheng waved his hand and said, "I have something to say, but it's okay to say it."

"Master Zhang said just now that King Jia has no title, but it's not the case. Don't forget that King Jia is still a king at this time. My title in Qing Dynasty is not the highest of the king."

The ministers were in an uproar, and Zhang Tingyu was also shocked: "Could it be that Prince Bao wanted to grant the title of Prince Heshuo, the King of Jia Jun? Absolutely not. I have never had someone with a foreign surname bestow on Prince Heshuo in Qing Dynasty."

Hongli said stubbornly: "Master Zhang has been thinking too much, what does it matter? King Jia Jun has made outstanding achievements, and not being named Prince Heshuo is not enough to show his achievements. Besides, there was never a prince with a foreign surname before in the Qing Dynasty. Now we have It is to set a precedent.”

Zhang Tingyu saw Hongli winking at him, and immediately understood what Hongli meant. This Hongli still didn't give up the meaning of killing Jia Baoyu.But Zhang Tingyu supported Hongli, so he had no choice but to say according to Hongli's meaning: "Prince Bao also makes sense, but I didn't think it through."

Emperor Yongzheng sat on the dragon chair with a gloomy expression on his face. In the end, Yongzheng seemed to have made up his mind and said, "Hongli is right. King Jia Jun has done such a great service, and it is not enough to show his merit without a heavy reward. Su Peisheng intends to Purpose"

Yongzheng immediately said: "Jia Baoyu has made great achievements in the southern expedition, defeated the Spanish enemy on a large scale, protected my Qing country, promoted my Qing Tianwei, and made my Qing guests serve the world. He has been invincible in all attacks, and has yet to lose a single one. Such meritorious deeds are not enough to show his merit without a reward. Today, I confer Jia Baoyu as my first-class noble and the 4.8 Prince of the Great Qing Dynasty. General of the country, I hope that Aiqing can make unremitting efforts to open up territory for my Qing Dynasty and live up to my expectations."

When the civil and military officials heard the will of Hongli, they couldn't hold back. Everyone was talking about Jia Baoyu.

After descending, the news spread in all directions at the speed of light.The minister of the Ministry of Rites sighed to his coachman that Jia Baoyu was talented in the sky; the minister of the Ministry of Household lamented to his wife why he had not given birth to such a son; in short, the civil and military officials were discussing non-stop, and the topics were all around Jia Baoyu.In less than a morning, the streets and alleys were already full of news of Jia Baoyu.

Chapter 428 Shocked the government and the public [4]

I just heard voices like this in the streets and alleys, "You don't know yet, just today, Jia Baoyu, the eldest young master of the Rongguo Mansion on this East Street, was conferred the title of Prince Heshuo!"

"What did you say? Prince Heshuo! That's the biggest prince in my Qing Dynasty."

"Isn't that right? How about saying that Master Jia is amazing. I've never heard of any Prince Heshuo whose surname is not Aisin Gioro."

"Yes, yes, Mr. Jia is the first prince with a foreign surname. He really looks good for us Han people. I heard that Mr. Jia was awarded the title of prince for his military exploits?"

"That's right, Lord Jia's war is a powerful one. The Mongolian traitors who even General Nian Genyao can't win are called Lord Jia's defeat, and now the Spanish red-haired ghost who can't even win against Lord Shi. He was also defeated by Jia Wangye, it's really amazing."

"I heard that Lord Jia turned out to be a big dandy in this Rongguo Mansion. Didn't he say '12 Poorly let down the good times, Yuguo's family is hopeless, can be the first in the afternoon, ancient and modern are unparalleled'?"

"Hey, why don't you shut up? Who dares to say such a thing now? Aren't you afraid of being beaten to death by others? Li cymbal who said this sentence has already been beheaded. Now it belongs to Prince Jia. He has a lot of promise, so to say that Li cymbal will be beheaded for no reason is wrong."

"Yes, yes, I was negligent about this. Let's go quickly. If someone really listens to it later, it will be troublesome."

Having said that, the two commoners took their things and hurried away.

But it was said that there was a storyteller talking about "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" in the teahouse on the corner, but the audience below heard shouting: "Don't talk about Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, let's talk about our Prince Heshuo Jia Baoyu"

Mr. Storyteller said "Uh..." a few times, and the audience shouted, "You haven't seen Prince Jia, have you?" Suddenly there was boos from the teahouse.

Mr. Storyteller is in a hurry. This is about his reputation. If he says he doesn't know Prince Jia, his business will definitely be difficult tomorrow.So he hurriedly said, "Nonsense! Who said I don't know Prince Jia anymore? Not only do I know, but I also know how Prince Jia beat the Spanish red-haired ghost."

"Then tell me how Prince Jia beat the Spanish red-haired ghost?"

So Mr. Storyteller stunned, "Let's talk about that Jia Baoyu, Jia Wangye, who is nine feet tall and has a big waist and a big waist. That's a fierce and vicious man."

This time someone quit and asked, "Is Prince Jia really as rough and terrifying as you said?"

When the storyteller saw someone questioning him, even though he had never met Jia Baoyu, he could only hold on at this time and said, "Why isn't it like this? It's not like this, can it scare the Spanish red-haired ghost? "

In fact, most of the listeners have never seen Jia Baoyu. After all, they are only ordinary people. When they heard Mr. Shu said this, they immediately felt reasonable, so they urged: "Continue to talk about it."

The storyteller opened the fan and said, "Speaking of these Spaniards, all of them are blue-faced and fangs, fierce and ferocious, they robbed our vassal overseas, and even the Jinghai Hou Shilang returned in a panic, the emperor had no choice. , I can only send Lord Jia. As soon as Lord Jia arrives at sea, he meets the Spaniards, and the Spaniards are frightened and flee. Where have they seen such a powerful person as Prince Jia!"

The audience said in succession: "Well said, yes, well said, Jia Wangye should be such a character."

This is just one or two projections of the Vientiane in the capital. At this time, Jia Baoyu is being discussed in the whole capital.

At this time, in the two houses of Rong and Ning, a group of female relatives also received news that Jia Baoyu had done a good job in the southern expedition, and was named Prince Heshuo and Shangzhu Kingdom, and they were all overjoyed.

Mother Jia said even more with tears on her face: "It's really my good grandson, it is the blessing of my Jia family to have Baoyu here, and now I am even more crowned as a prince, this is an honor that many people can't wait for. Ah, it's worth it to call me dead now."

Mrs. Wang and other female relatives also said on the side: "Mother, don't say that, now that Baoyu is so powerful, it should be the time to enjoy happiness, what is there to talk about?"

Mother Jia also laughed and said, "That's right, but I said something wrong. I should be punished and punished."

At this time, Aunt Xue was also worried: "This Baoyu is good, but this marriage will be even more troublesome. I'm afraid that the matchmaker in our Jia residence will break the threshold."

Mrs. Wang, Xue Baochai, and Lin Daiyu were also very worried, only Mother Jia laughed and said, "That's why you can't see clearly. Now that Baoyu is the Prince of Heshuo, who else would dare to force the marriage to fail? It's that Queen Yixiu. , also pay attention to my family Baoyu's temper, it's not that he can marry whoever he wants, anyway, I'm the two girls who like Baochai and Daiyu."

Aunt Xue and Madam Wang also laughed and said, "We also like these two girls."

Xue Baochai and Lin Daiyu, who were standing beside them, immediately blushed and said, "You are so embarrassed," and ran away quickly.Only a group of people in the yard were left laughing.

Here Wang Xifeng and Ping'er, as well as Mrs. You from Ningguo Mansion, 700 Qin Keqing and others, are in Jia Baoyu's Yihong Courtyard.Wang Xifeng complained, "This damned enemy has been gone for more than a month without seeing anyone, and he wants to kill me even thinking about it."

Almost everyone in Yihong Courtyard was in this mood at this time, but Qingwen teased: "This grandma Feng is having a spring, and I haven't seen you for a month. I'm afraid that you are going crazy because of the young master?"

Wang Xifeng laughed and scolded: "You little hoof, you still have the face to talk about me? I'm afraid you are lonely every night, right?"

Suddenly, a very abrupt male voice came in: "Who is lonely and unbearable? Do I need some consolation from my son?"

When everyone heard it, they were both surprised and delighted. This was clearly Jia Baoyu's voice. They really saw Jia Baoyu walking into the house. It turned out that after Jia Baoyu accompanied Princess Valeja in Manila for a few days, he felt as though he had neglected the girls in his house. , so I used any door to drive back.

I saw Jia Baoyu waved his hand and closed the door. Jia Baoyu smiled and said, "Since the son I am back, then you don't want to leave, you all stay with me."

This night, Jia Baoyu was always busy and never stopped to rest.

Chapter 429

After a few days of frolic in Jia Mansion, Jia Baoyu left the capital and returned to Luzon Island. After all, Valega had just taken over the throne, and Luzon was still very unstable.

Besides, Jia Baoyu and Valaija had just been together, so Jia Baoyu naturally couldn't ignore Valaija, so Jia Baoyu only stayed in Jia's house for a few days before returning to Luzon Island.

Luzon is an island country consisting of many islands.It is divided into several parts, including the capital Manila, Mindoro, Palawan, Negros, Panay, Samar, and the Philippines.Among them, the capital city of Manila has the largest geographical scope.

The fleet led by Jia Baoyu defeated the Spaniards in Manila, the capital of Luzon. The place the Spaniards occupied was only Manila for the time being. After all, Manila was the capital. The Spaniards needed a lot of energy and time to resolve conflicts within Manila. So the war has not spread to several other parts.

Although Jia Baoyu recaptured Manila, Luzon's domestic situation was still very unstable at this time, and the damage was on the topography of Luzon's archipelago.When Suleiman, the old king of Luzon, was there, the three divisions of Luzon were all subject to Suleiman's rule. After all, Suleiman was brave and wise, and he was a good monarch.

But Suleiman was hit by artillery fire while defending against the Spaniards and died heroically on the shore.This time, several other parts of the Luzon Kingdom had ideas, especially the Duke of Cosma, the prince of Mindoro, and General Rodin, the leader of the alliance composed of several other parts.

Kasma was Suleiman's younger brother. Kasma had always had a good relationship with Suleiman. The two were biological brothers, so Suleiman was assured that Mindoro would be under the jurisdiction of Kasma.Kasma was very saddened by the death of Suleiman this time, but he did not agree with his niece Valega on the throne. In his opinion, how could his own niece Valega, a small woman, be able to bear the burden of the throne? It is up to you to take on the heavy responsibility.

As for General Rodin, he was the military general of the five southern islands. When Suleiman was there, he naturally had no chance. Now Suleiman is dead.He immediately had a big idea. He immediately took all the military and political power of the Goto Islands in his hands, and immediately sent someone to contact Kasma.

When they heard the news of Princess Valega's return to Manila, Cosma and Rodin couldn't figure out who was ruling Manila now, but it was nothing more than the Qing Dynasty and the Spaniards.Both of them knew that with their own strength alone, no matter whether it was the Spaniards or the navy of the Qing Dynasty, they could not compete against them, so only by joining forces would they have a chance.

On Jia Baoyu's side, the Luzon princess Valega is about to take the throne as the Luzon queen. Jia Baoyu's suggestion to her is to use the power of defeating the Spaniards this time to unify the country.

Valega also expressed his difficulties: "Baoyu, although we defeated the Spaniards, I am afraid that our Luzon will be divided."

Jia Baoyu didn't know the internal situation of Lu Song at this time, so he asked: "Huh? Could it be that you Luzon still dare to resist forces? Even the Spaniards can't win, so dare to block me?"

"But the problem is that I am afraid that they will use me as an attack point and win the support of the domestic people. You can't kill them all by then, can you?"

"Well, that's what I said, so let's see, the capital of Manila has been unified, then you invite them as a queen to come to the capital to watch your enthronement ceremony immediately. If you don't come, you will attack them in the name of rebellion and collusion with the Spaniards. ."

When Valega heard this, her eyes lit up, she immediately thought it was a good strategy, and hurriedly acted according to the plan.

Cosma and Rodin, who received Valega's letter, were discussing how to remove Valega from power.

I saw what Valega wrote on it: My father has made a heroic sacrifice to resist the shameful invasion of the Spaniards. Now I, Valega, have invited the help of the heavenly soldiers of the Qing Dynasty, and have expelled the Spaniards and recovered Lu. Song, I invite Uncle Kasma and General Rodin to come and watch the ceremony of Valeja's enthronement as queen.

Cosma closed the document and said, "As expected, Valega is very talented, and actually invited the naval forces of the Qing Dynasty to help and expel all the Spaniards from the country. It is really a blessing for me in Luzon, I don't think we are prepared. Well, General Rodin, let's go and congratulate my niece on the queen."

When Rodin heard Cosma say this, he secretly resented. This Cosma was not firm from the very beginning. He was afraid of the Spaniards, worried about the Qing Dynasty, and also worried about his eldest brother and niece.I really don't know how to be so timid.

But Rodin couldn't do anything about it. First, Rodin alone would be absolutely unable to compete with the Great Qingshui Army; secondly, if Rodin himself refused to accept Valega, it would be a clear rebellion, but if the prince of Cosma was added The reputation of the country will have the support of the people in the country.

So Rodin immediately persuaded: "Prince Kasma, do you want to give up our alliance this time?"

"Yes, my niece has invited the support of the Qing Dynasty to drive the Spanish invaders out of our country. This proves that my niece is still capable. In this case, why don't I obey my elder brother?"

"But Mr. Cosma has not thought about it, now that the Qing Dynasty has driven the Spaniards away, but the question is whether the Qing Dynasty will garrison the army? After the garrison, will we still be an independent country in the future? Wouldn't that become another one? The Spaniards? Princess Valega invited the Qing army, who knows if she agreed to the conditions of the Qing, or else the arrogant Qing people will send troops to help?"

When Rodin said this, Cosma was stunned. He had to say that Rodin's eloquence was really good, and what he said was very targeted.What he said was exactly what Cosma was worried about at the beginning, Cosma paused and said: "General Rodin's words are really reasonable, but I didn't expect that if Valega really agreed to garrison something. Class conditions, that’s not acceptable.”

"So, we still have to be prepared. If the halal really wants to garrison troops, we have to think of a way to stop it."
