Jia Zheng came back from the yamen of the Ministry of Industry and arrived in Mrs. Wang's courtyard, at this time everyone dispersed, Mrs. Wang said that everyone came to talk and Aunt Xue spoke just now, Jia Zheng nodded noncommittal, and asked where Baoyu was, Mrs. Wang said that she followed the sisters down, Jia Zheng snorted slightly, "I have been messing with my sisters all day long, what is the point?" ”

Mrs. Wang didn't dare to argue, but said, "Now that there are guests at home, he will entertain more for a while, and there are also them." ”

"The old lady loves that evil obstacle, you have to watch it as much as you want, you can't go through the big folds," Jia Zheng said, "The current situation outside, although I am only a petty official in the Ministry of Industry, I also see that something is wrong." ”

Mrs. Wang hurriedly said, "What? There's nothing out there to say. ”

If Jia Zheng is simply a sesame petty official of the Ministry of Industry, he doesn't have to worry about how the sky above his head is treacherous and the situation is changing, as long as he takes it seriously and does a good errand, what kind of joke is Dayue, when the gods in the sky fight, what is the matter with you, the sesame petty official of the five grades?

But he also has another identity, that is, Rongguofu is the most important person in charge of the Jia family now, although the patriarch is Jia Zhen of Dongfu, and the title of Rongguofu is on his brother Jia Yu, but in fact, the most important decision-maker, the right to decide, is still here in Jia Zheng.

"The saint has never had an heir, if the Spring and Autumn Period is prosperous, it's fine," Jia Zheng saw that no one was on the side, so he also said to Mrs. Wang, "Now it is more than forty, there are many concubines in the harem, but there have been no heirs, this is a big taboo, the head and body of the saint queen mother is still in the palace The head and body are excellent, there is news that it is even better than the body of the saint, this is original, but now all the kings are eyeing the big treasure, here, what should we do with the Jia family, this is also to be carefully pondered." ”

Sometimes if the emperor of the previous dynasty made a bad start, then the kings of the later generations will quickly follow suit, as the saying goes, the good ones can't be learned, and the bad ones are learned at once.

For example, the greatest dynasty in the Tang Dynasty, Li Shimin's Xuanwumen Mutiny seized the throne, killed his brother and younger brother, and forced Tang Gaozu to abdicate the throne, and later generations all followed suit, Gaozong, Wuhou, Zhongzong, Ruizong, Xuanzong, Suzong went all the way down, for the throne, there were countless mutinies and mutinies to seize the palace, and the throne in the Taiji Palace was stained with the blood of countless people, which is a good example of Li Shimin.

The same is true of this dynasty, Emperor Yonghe is not an authentic descendant, counting, he is just the nephew of Taizu Taizong, how authentic this bloodline is, there is an authentic Miao descendant of the imperial lineage, it is absolutely not counted.

Emperor Yonghe can ascend the throne as emperor, why can't I? This is what the descendants of Emperor Taizu and Taizong thought in their hearts, princes and generals, rather have a kind? This is the idea that many people are about to move, if the heirs of Emperor Yonghe are prosperous, the country is stable, and those with ulterior motives will be less than half, but now Emperor Yonghe has no children, and the rivers and mountains of the Dayue Dynasty are naturally driven by a group.

The family will die if they don't stand in line, and they will die if they stand on the wrong team, but the way of death is different, Jia Zheng, as the head of the Jia family, has to consider the problem of the family's survival, but the change of the family in this dynasty is as cruel as the early days of the founding of the former Ming Dynasty. Jia Zheng had to be cautious.

Mrs. Wang is the woman in the inner house, if she plays tricks with a few aunts, this is enough, even if she hears about the things outside, she must not know Jia Zheng clearly, hearing that Jia Zheng is so worried, she hurriedly said, "It's good for us to hide at home and live, why bother with their affairs, how to change outside, it has nothing to do with us." ”

"I'm afraid it's not that simple," Jia Zheng said with a wry smile, "Our East Mansion and West Mansion all started with military merits, although now they have all reduced their titles, and the situation is not as good as before, but there are also people who are eyeing us, and someone will invite me to the banquet today." ”

"Someone has taken a fancy to our family," Jia Zheng sighed, "If you want me to say, why do you need to do this? Who else can we help in a scene like this? Grandfather Yuan Gong was awarded the title of Duke of the Kingdom from the Dragon of Taizu, and his father also followed Emperor Taizong to conquer the south and the north in the past, which passed the title of Duke of Guo to another generation, but now there are still people who think about us! ”

There was a complex emotion in Jia Zheng's words, his grandfather Jia Yuan and his father Jia Daishan both chose the right person, so the family has flourished so far, Jia Zhen in Dongfu, from his uncle Jia Daihua, he was directly demoted to the first rank of general, to his cousin Jia Yu, and then to Jia Zhen, has been reduced to the scattered title of the third general, and his brother is still a first-grade general, the difference here is big, not to say that there is more or less in just one year. It is not a question of before and after the shift when entering the court, the key is the size of the voice in the court.

He is quite proud of his grandparents, but he is also very reluctant to be the same as his grandfathers, re-embark on the path of choice, although he has a deep hobby of reading, but he is not a wooden fish head, knowing this road, from the dragon's work, he chose the right nine-fold palace, chose the wrong abyss, his ability is not good, in the Ministry of Industry, colleagues respect themselves, it is nothing more than to see that he is from the public mansion, by no means in his official position, which Jia Zheng sees very clearly.

Therefore, he was very proud that his grandparents had chosen the right path, and he was shocked that someone came to woo him, shocked that his family still had the strength to win over, and he was also very dissatisfied, dissatisfied that someone dragged him into this troubled water.

"Who is it?"

Jia Zheng was about to say something, but he heard a noise outside, as if something was falling. Mrs. Wang was startled and asked the people outside what was going on, and Caixia went back and forth: "I don't know that the wind is blowing there, and the window lattice has been blown down." ”

was so frightened, Jia Zheng was less interested in talking, "That's it, I don't understand the things outside, I don't understand you with your wife, I just hate that there is no competent person in my family to discuss, although Baoyu is young, but he is too ignorant, I am just like this now, what else will I do in the future generations of future generations?" It's really hard. ”

Mrs. Wang sighed, "It's difficult outside, I don't know the truth, but now there are many people in the family, and I can't rest for a moment. ”
