Daqian Dynasty, Imperial City, inside the West Nuan Pavilion of Yangxin Hall.

The Daqian Emperor Chongming, dressed in an apricot-yellow dragon robe, was sitting on the soft floor, holding a memorial in his hand, with dark circles under his eyes.

The palace servants and eunuchs standing in the palace held their breaths one by one, not daring to take a breath, and kept quiet.

Suddenly, a chamberlain walked in softly.

Standing aside, the eunuch Gao Xian, who was wearing a bright red dragon robe and sitting on a python, stepped forward in a hurry. The two of them whispered a few words, and Gao Xian sent the eunuch away.

Then he returned to his original position, with a hesitant look on his face, thinking about whether he should report it or not. He had served Emperor Chongming from his residence, and he knew Emperor Chongming's temper best. When Emperor Chongming was handling government affairs, he hated being disturbed by others, even his own. Confidants, unless there is something urgent, otherwise they will be punished.

What the chamberlain reported was nothing more than a trivial matter. It would not be too late to wait until Emperor Chongming had finished processing the memorial.

"Gao Xian, what happened?"

Emperor Chongming, who was lying softly, had already noticed it when his chamberlain came in. He didn't even raise his head at this time and asked in a low voice.

The great eunuch Gao Xian hurriedly replied: "Master, Jia Yun, the commander-in-chief of Qianfeng Yingying, is asking for an audience outside the palace."

"Oh...let him come in." Emperor Chongming ordered, his expression as usual.

"Yes..." Gao Xian bowed and responded, then left softly.

Standing outside the hall was a young man wearing a green rhinoceros patchwork suit. The young man had straight black hair, slanting eyebrows, thin and pursed lips, sharp outlines, and a tall, slender but not rugged figure. He was very imposing. .

This person is none other than Jia Yun, the commander of Qianfeng Ying, the sixth rank. At this time, he looked at the majestic palace with a complicated expression. He was rewarded by the Ministry of War for his meritorious service, and was suddenly summoned by Emperor Chongming. It was so sudden that he couldn't help but feel Thinking about why a little Mr. Qian was summoned by the emperor, could it be because he was a descendant of Duke Ning?

Ningguo Gongfu, whose surname is Jia, this world is the world of Red Mansions.

Jia Yun was originally an ordinary Blue Star person who traveled to the world of Red Mansions for no reason.

Jia Yun didn't know much about the world of Red Mansions. He only knew about some "romantic affairs" and the lonely ending of Jia's house in "a vast expanse of white." As for the general situation of the court, he didn't know anything about it.

And Jia Yun's status is not low, he is the son of the mighty general Jia Zhen, the third rank of Duke Ningguo.

Throughout the entire Dream of Red Mansions, Jia Yun remembered that Jia Zhen had only one son, Jia Rong, but for some reason, Jia Yun suddenly appeared.

On the contrary, Jia Zhenyu had countless daughters, how could she only have one heir? If she was in poor health and had difficulty in giving birth, how could Jia Rong explain it?

Or maybe it was just because of the difficulty of childbirth in ancient times that it was difficult for the heirs to grow up.

Take Jia Yun as an example. Originally, Jia Yun died young, but who would have thought that a modern soul would take his place...

Originally, it was a good thing to have such a distinguished status. If he relied on his own status, he might not be able to clarify the world, and he might not be able to lead the Jia family on another path.

But Jia Yun's biological mother was an actor, and an actor is the same as a prostitute, a low-class person.

The world is divided into three, six or nine levels: first-rate emperors and ministers, second-rate officers and generals, third-rate gentry and merchants, fourth-rate teachers and gangs, fifth-rate craftsmen, sixth-rate doctors and farmers, seventh-rate witches and beggars, and eighth-rate thieves and robbers. , a nine-rate prostitute.

Moreover, there are "upper, middle and lower" divisions. Artistic prostitutes are already at the bottom of the class, and coupled with the distinction between upper and lower classes, they have no status at all.

A son is valued more than his mother, so Jia Yun is a concubine.

The concubine and the concubine are like clouds and clay.

There is no doubt about the status of the legitimate son in the family and the right to inherit property. From the title to the property, the legitimate son has absolute inheritance rights.

How much property a concubine can inherit depends entirely on his father's favor, and as long as the elders in the family are still there, the concubine generally cannot separate the family and can only live in the shadow of the legitimate son.

That's why many bastards from aristocratic families choose to wander, join the army, or become a ranger. In short, they don't want to be dependent on others at home and want to carve out a world of their own.

If he is a concubine, then that's it. After all, he is a serious son of the Duke's family, and he has no worries about food and clothing.

But Jia Yun's biological mother died of a hemorrhage when Jia Yun was born. Without her mother to take care of her, she was even more vulnerable to bullying.

As for his father, Jia Zhen, haha... What kind of character is Jia Zhen? In the original work, Jia Rong is Jia Zhen's only son. Jia Zhen doesn't care or love him. Instead, she often speaks ill of him and punches him, even in front of the servants. It will not leave any face to Jia Rong.

Even if Jia Rong is treated like this, Jia Yun will not be much better, and it will be difficult to feed and clothe him.

When Jia Yun was young, he thought about the routine of novels in his previous life, taking the imperial examination, getting a first-class official position, and becoming famous all over the world. For this reason, he did not hesitate to endure the humiliation and scolding of violent fathers like Jia Zhen and devoted himself to studying.

When he was fourteen years old, because he failed in the child test and could not bear Jia Zhen's cruelty, he rebelled angrily, chased Jia Zhen all the way, and brought down the Ningguo Duke's government.

Why couldn't Jia Yun endure the harm but didn't escape?

Because of the laws of the Qian Dynasty: "Any person who is more than a hundred miles away from the place of residence must be issued a "road guide" by the local government. If there is no "road guide" or is inconsistent with it, he will be punished according to the law."

Without a "road guide", Jia Yun just ran away, which was of no use...

Jia Yun, who was making a big fuss, was captured by those boys, and Jia Zhen was furious. In this era, no father could discipline his son too much, even if he beat his son to death, it would be guiltless.

It would be a grave sin for a son to be disrespectful to his father, not to mention Jia Yun's behavior, which cannot be tolerated by heaven.

This incident alarmed Jia's mother, and Jia Yun unhesitatingly scolded his father in person for how he was not a father and how he treated his bastard so harshly that he had no regard for life or death.

Seeing that Jia Zhen was about to beat Jia Yun to death, Jia's mother stepped forward to stop him. She did not show pity for the weak and poor, but felt pity for Jia Yun.

Jia Mu also hated disobedience and unfilial piety. During the Qian Dynasty, parents who killed their children for reasons such as disobedience and unfilial piety would not be held accountable. This shows how common the world is.

It's just that this matter shouldn't be a big deal. There was an unfilial descendant in the Duke of Guo's house. If the news spread, others would laugh at it. In addition, the descendants of the eldest son of Ningguo's house were withering away. Jia's mother took the decision and ordered her servants to strictly keep their tongues and not say a word. At the same time as the rumor was spreading, the dying Jia Yun was dragged to the bitter cold borderland to join the army. Whether he lived or died was determined by God...

Thinking of this, Jia Yun couldn't help but sigh. If the border war hadn't started and Jia Yun had been rewarded for his meritorious service, he wouldn't have been able to get the position of President Qian, and he would never have been able to return to the capital...

At this moment, Jia Yun saw an eunuch wearing a red python robe walking out of the palace gate. He was shocked. Knowing that the other person's status was not low, he hurriedly stepped forward and said respectfully: "I have met my father-in-law."

Don't underestimate these chamberlains, their status is not low. The so-called "seventh grade official in front of the prime minister's door", let alone the front door of the palace.

These chamberlains are all people close to the emperor, not to mention Jia Yun, a humble chief minister, even important ministers of the imperial court must be polite."

After all, no one wants to offend the people around the emperor. If they complain about something and the emperor believes it, their life will not be easy.

Of course, direct ministers are not afraid of internal servants.

Gao Xian did not appear to be arrogant, but he was not kind either. He had a light complexion, which was quite satisfactory. He said to Jia Yun calmly: "Mr. Jia Qian, your Majesty has summoned me.

Come with me, the manager."

After saying this, Gao Xian walked towards the palace without saying a word nonsense.

Jia Yun had no dissatisfaction in his heart and had no right to be dissatisfied, so he hurriedly followed.

After thinking for a moment, Jia Yun painfully took out a large silver ingot from his arms, handed it over quietly, and said respectfully: "My father-in-law, you came in a hurry, it's just a small thing, it's not respectful, I hope my father-in-law will accept it with a smile."

Gao Xian accepted it without leaving a trace and checked the weight. They, the internal servants, often accepted this kind of benefit, and their methods were naturally precise. Gao Xian estimated that there was about twenty taels, and there was a look of disdain in his eyes, but he was nothing more than a fly.

It's better to be a kid than to have nothing, isn't it?

Even though Gao Xian was a general manager, he was always a chamberlain. These chamberlains were physically disabled and their minds were naturally focused on other aspects, and greed for money was one of them.

Generally speaking, chamberlains' families were very poor before entering the palace. As long as they had some savings, they would not harm themselves to enter the palace. Therefore, if they have money, they will inevitably help their families.

The chamberlains are constantly amassing money, and they also hope to redeem their lost things and then use them as burial objects after their death. Otherwise, they will not be accepted by the King of Hell because they have incomplete six senses and are neither male nor female.

The most important thing is that money has become the only pleasure in the life of a chamberlain. The cultural level of a chamberlain is not high, and he cannot do things between men and women, so he can only pin his spiritual entertainment on money and power. Perhaps only in this way can he prove the meaning of his life.

Although the chamberlain in front of me is not an ordinary chamberlain, and he has received hundreds of benefits, and there is no shortage of money, the chief manager has also climbed up the ranks step by step from a young chamberlain, and he cannot change the habits he has developed in the past.

Jia Yun gave little, but he was a man who knew the rules. This money was not only a rule, but also an attitude of respect for the servants. It would easily satisfy their vanity, wouldn't it?

When Jia Yun saw that the other party took it back, he breathed a sigh of relief, fearing that the other party would look down on him and show off to Jia Yun.

It's not that Jia Yun is stingy, in fact, these twenty taels of silver are already his entire wealth. Although he is a sixth-grade military general, his annual salary is only sixty taels. Moreover, he is in a borderland and has been through life and death, so he has nothing to spend.

It was wanton enjoyment, which cost a lot, so that Jia Yun had very little net worth left.

"Eunuch, I have never been to the palace before, and I don't know what the rules are in the palace. Could you please give me a few pointers?"

Jia Yun didn't know the rules in the palace. He was afraid of offending his saintly face and would be punished for being stupid. That would be an unjust death. If he used money, he knew the rules, so he couldn't give it in vain.

Since Gao Xian accepted the money, he would still give some advice on these little things, so Gao Xian walked forward while reminding him: "When you meet His Majesty, you must not look directly at the Holy Face, you must not make loud noises, and you must not..."

Jia Yun listened carefully, not missing a single point. After listening, Jia Yun respectfully said: "Thank you, father-in-law, for your suggestion."

"Hmm..." Gao Xian responded lightly and immediately ignored Jia Yun. After saying so much, he was worthy of the twenty taels of silver.

Seeing that the other party stopped talking, Jia Yun was sensible and didn't ask any more questions. He just felt hurt that he had paid such a "big" price, and the other party didn't look good...
