Seeing the fascination on Sanjie You's face, Jia Heng said: "I'll write you the outline of the story later, and you can write the main text, and then write it and show it to me. If it's suitable, I'll find a friend to help you publish it."
, the money earned from writing manuscripts is clean and upright, and you can support yourself better than many men. At that time, who would dare to look down on you?"
Hearing this, Third Sister You's tear-stained face shone brightly, her heart trembled, and she said softly: "Uncle Heng's kindness, even if I work hard, I can't repay you."
.”
Jia Heng said: "Write it carefully. People will always help those who help themselves. As long as you are willing to be self-reliant, even others will help you."
This kind of independent thinking itself is very rare.
Why does the original work of "Dream of Red Mansions" begin with the words in the first chapter, "Nowadays, everything is busy and nothing can be accomplished." Suddenly I think of all the women of that day, and after carefully examining them one by one, I feel that their behavior, behavior, and knowledge are all superior to mine.
If Sanjie You said something like, "Uncle Heng, I want to be the aunt of a rich family," he would be out of luck. He couldn't cut his flesh to feed the hawks, right?
Third Sister You's beautiful eyes were sparkling and her lips were twitching. She wanted to do something, but she was afraid that the boy opposite would underestimate her and others.
The days ahead may be long...
Sanjie You murmured softly in her heart.
Jia Heng said: "Okay, it's getting late, let's go to the front."
Third Sister You secretly hid the handkerchief in her sleeve and nodded.
The two of them talked and walked towards the inner hall one after the other.
In the inner hall
Before reaching the hall, I heard laughter and laughter, which were clearly the voices of Sister Feng and Youshi. The two had known each other for more than ten years, and the man was also a cousin who had "the same smell". Now that they were reunited, they seemed to feel sympathy for each other.
Especially Sister Feng, who knew her own family affairs, was uneasy because of Jia Lian's incident. When she saw the servants laughing behind their backs in the Rongguo Mansion, she felt that they were laughing at her.
At this time, Jia Heng walked out of the study. The few people who were talking and laughing stopped talking and laughing, and looked at Jia Heng and Third Sister You.
Sister Feng smiled sweetly and said, "Brother Heng, are you done with the work ahead?"
But he asked the question first, and I don't know if he was worried that Jia Heng would mention Jia Lian casually.
Jia Heng nodded and said: "There are still some hands and tails... Is Brother Lian feeling better?"
Sister Feng's smile froze for a moment and said, "Much better."
Jia Heng didn't ask any more questions and said in a clear voice: "We can gather in Huifang Garden that night so that we can have some leisure time in the past few days."
Sister Feng forced herself to smile and said, "Then I'll send someone to ask him later."
…
…
Not mentioning the preparations for the celebration banquet in the Ningguo Mansion, but saying that after Jia Heng left, King Qi entered the Daming Palace under the guidance of the eunuchs in the palace.
"I have met my father, and I respectfully wish my father a long life." King Qi knelt down and paid homage.
Emperor Chongping was sitting behind the eucalyptus. The afterglow of the setting sun that filtered through the withered window lattice slanted down and fell on half of his face. His cold, gloomy face was half hidden in the darkness.
King Qi couldn't hear Pingshen's voice for a while, and his heart skipped a beat. He couldn't help but look up at Emperor Chongping, who had a stern look on his face. He felt a chill in his heart, and quickly lowered his head. His plump body began to tremble, and his voice was a little harsh.
, said: "I wonder why the father summoned his son and ministers?"
"The Sanhe Gang in Dongcheng was wiped out by Jia Heng last night. They have been doing evil for the past ten years. As their benefactor, don't you have something to say?" Emperor Chongping said in a deep voice.
King Qi's mind was racing, and he said: "Father, how could I have been their benefactor before? It was only because I had been in charge of household affairs before that we had some contacts. After I opened the government to take charge of affairs, I was left alone and helpless."
Suddenly there was a sneer from above, leaving half of Queen Qi's words stuck in her throat.
Emperor Chongping said: "Now that things have come to this, you still dare to quibble!"
King Qi said: "Father, I have no excuses. They gave me some money, but they are thieves and bandits who are evil and want to maintain their official reputation. Who would not give money? The commander of the army and horse department of the first five cities
Didn't Zhou Song and Sun Liangchen, the Yin of Jingzhao Prefecture, receive money from them? After I opened the government, I spent a huge amount of money on various expenses. I have always been used to spending a lot of money... These rogues were originally Caoliang Guards
My subordinates came to visit because of the transportation of grain to Beijing, but I was not aware of it for a while, so they were deceived. As for the money, they were delivered to my door, and I was also confused for a while..."
Emperor Chongping stared at King Qi closely, the gloomy look on his face became lighter, and there was a strange calmness in his voice as he said: "How many of them have been taken in?"
If Jia Heng were here, he would be keenly aware that the friendship between father and son has dropped to the freezing point. When the emperor begins to restrain his anger, it means that the friendship between father and son is gradually disappearing.
King Qi didn't know why, but he instinctively felt that something was wrong. When he got the one million taels in his mouth, he changed his words and said: "Three million taels."
Emperor Chongping said coldly: "Is it three million a year, or three million cumulatively?"
King Qi quickly raised his head and said urgently: "Father, the total is three million!"
"You have been shielding the Sanhe Gang for seven or eight years. The Sanhe Gang has made a total of 6.8 million taels of silver in one year. How much percent will I give you in one year!?" Emperor Chongping shouted.
King Qi was temporarily confused by this kind of arithmetic problem, and he hesitated: "This..."
"Still thinking about lying? Do you think I am a three-year-old child!!!" Emperor Chongping's face surged with anger, and he roared like a dragon, grabbed the paperweight in his hand, and threw it at King Qi.
After all, I couldn't hold it back...
King Qi was caught off guard and subconsciously flashed. The corner of the paperweight grazed his forehead and fell on his shoulder. He immediately let out a pained groan. A cut was made on his forehead, and blood suddenly flowed out.
"Father, father, I know I am wrong, I know I am wrong." King Qi felt as if he had fallen into an ice cave. He ignored the blood flowing down his face and kowtowed like smashing garlic. There was only one thought in his heart, it's over...
Dai Quan on the side hid his figure behind the curtain, seemingly trying to reduce his presence.
The maids and eunuchs behind the screen all knelt down one after another, with their heads lowered tightly, not even daring to express their anger.
"Six million 800,000 taels a year, four to fifty million taels in eight years, and I'll give you 10%, and there are still 4,500,000 taels! Three million taels?" Emperor Chongping said coldly, letting out a chuckle.
At this moment, no one reminded the emperor that the Sanhe Gang definitely did not have so much money in the early days of its growth.
The King of Qi was extremely frightened and said anxiously: "Father, my sons and ministers have collected more than five million taels of silver from them. The excess is really gone, it's gone."
More than five million taels of silver. If he sells some of his family property, he can collect some. I think five million taels of silver should be able to appease his father's anger.
In fact, in the original work of Dream of Red Mansions, Ru Lin Ru Hai has been patrolling salt for several years, and has millions of family assets. What's more, a prince like King Qi doesn't have so much cash, but it is not difficult to make up the money by selling off some properties.
.
"What do you want so much money for?" Emperor Chongping asked without comment, with cold eyes.
At this moment, King Qi didn't know whether it was because his forehead was bleeding, or because he was touched by something sad. He cried loudly: "Father, I am afraid of poverty. When I first opened the government, the treasury was in difficulty, and my salary and silver were in arrears.
I just got married and was in a tight financial situation. I couldn't even maintain the dignity of the palace. I was looked down upon and looked down upon. It happened that these bastards were willing to send me money. I was confused for a while, so I accepted them.
of silver.”
Emperor Chongping looked livid and said coldly: "I ask you, where did the money go?"
King Qi was shaken, stopped crying, and said urgently: "Father, look at how fat I am, as well as the clothes, utensils, and daily expenses in the house. Just rely on the household expenses.
How can I do this with my son Lu Yin?"
Emperor Chongping said calmly: "I don't care about you. More than five million taels of silver, one tael or more, will be shipped to the internal funds in three days!"
When King Qi heard this, his expression changed drastically, and he panicked and said, "Father, I just tore apart the bones of my son and boiled oil to light the lamp..."
Emperor Chongping's eyes were fierce, and an oppressive aura swept towards King Qi, and he said coldly: "Do you think I can't do it, or do you dare not?"
King Qi: "..."
An awe-inspiring chill seeped out from his back, flooding King Qi like a tide.
Gein, these words are too murderous, almost like sharpening a knife. If he is imprisoned and loses his family fortune, it seems... not impossible!
Even if he goes to seek help from the Supreme Emperor of Chonghua Palace...
The King of Qi bowed his head and bowed again, crying: "Father, even if I tear down walls and sell beams, smash pots and sell iron, I still have to pay back five million taels!"
"I don't need you to tear down the walls and sell the beams, smash the pots and sell the iron. Whether you can pay it back depends on you! But the situation in the Han Dynasty is very difficult now. As long as you still consider yourself a vassal of the country and the Chen Han clan, you should also spend some money.
Huang Guizhou has taken the responsibility!" Emperor Chongping said quietly with deep eyes.
He had clearly foreseen some of King Qi's tricks.
King Qi dared to play tricks at this moment, and said in fear: "My son, I must obey my father's teachings."
Emperor Chongping waved his hand, and the coldness in his voice seemed to have dissipated a little. When he raised his head to look at King Qi, his dark eyes lingered on the red blood on his fat face, and in the deepest part of his heart, he suddenly recalled what he had done many years ago.
When I was Prince Yong, in the backyard of the palace, I heard the joy of the birth of my eldest son. The woman, who came from a humble background and was slightly fat, was lying on the bed, with a pale face and hazy eyes. When she was dying, she smiled and called him "Your Majesty..."
Emperor Chongping's face was gloomy, his eyes came back to his senses, and he expelled all the past events deep in his heart. His face was still cold and hard, and he said in a deep voice: "Dai Quan, lead King Qi down and let the imperial doctor stop his bleeding!"
When King Qi heard this, he felt relieved and bowed his head: "Thank you very much, father."
With that said, under the leadership of Dai Quan, they left the Daming Palace.
Emperor Chongping sighed heavily and sat slumped on the chair. At that time, the sky was completely dark, and the emperor remained motionless. He looked at the sunset gradually setting through the window lattice and didn't know what to think.
After a long time, Dai Quan sent King Qi off, turned around, and saw the dim light in the imperial study, and Emperor Chongping sitting on a chair like a stone sculpture. He was shocked and whispered to an eunuch: "Why don't you hold the lamp?
"
"Your Majesty won't allow it..." the young eunuch said in a low voice.
"Dai Quan..." Emperor Chongping suddenly called.
Dai Quan quickly stepped forward and responded: "Your Majesty."
"King Qi sent it back?"
"Your Majesty, send them all back." Dai Quan bowed and listened to Emperor Chongping's voice. He didn't feel anything strange and felt relieved.
Emperor Chongping said in a dull tone: "Go to the cabinet and summon Mr. Li Ge, who is on duty, to the Daming Palace."
It is a coincidence that the elder who is on duty now is Li Zan, Grand Scholar of Wuyingdian Palace and Minister of War.
"Your Majesty, it's getting dark now. Let's have dinner first." Dai Quan said cautiously.
Emperor Chongping was silent for a moment and said: "Prepare meals in Xinuan Pavilion, and then summon Mr. Li Ge."
Dai Quan nodded and responded: "Yes, Your Majesty."
…
…
King Qi left the palace, got on the carriage, and had a layer of white cloth wrapped around his head. His big, chubby face looked as gloomy as water. Five million taels of silver, after several years of business, was ruined!
"Moreover, my father has become really angry this time..." King Qi got on the carriage. As the carriage turned, his facial features became distorted with anger and fear, and his heart was full of anger and he said: "Father, for five hundred
Ten thousand taels of silver would have destroyed me, and the family relationship between father and son has become so desolate! If I hadn’t reported the news back then..."
Thinking of this, I glanced in the direction of Chonghua Palace and thought, "On the ninth day of the Lunar New Year, go to Chonghua Palace to pay your respects to Grandpa Huang, and then make further calculations!"
Although the King of Qi was a concubine, because Prince Ru had no heirs in his early years, Prince Yizhong, who was a concubine, had several daughters in succession, and King Zhao was fond of martial arts and married late, so he became the eldest son.
When she was born, due to dystocia, she lost her low-born mother who was just a palace maid. Then she was brought into the palace by Empress Dowager Feng, who loved her eldest grandson. When he got a little older, King Qi had grown into a chubby and rare man.
Little chubby boy.
He was "sincere" in his words and deeds, without any pretense in his words and smiles, and was mischievous and mischievous. He was loved by the then Emperor Longzhi, who is now the Supreme Emperor in Chonghua Palace, and often stayed by his side to talk.
It can be said that in the early days, King Qi acted as a bridge between the father and son Emperor Chongping and Emperor Longzhi.
And an accident in the palace more than ten years ago, and it was because of King Qi's immediate tip-off that the third prince, King Zhao, and the sixth prince, King Zhou, missed the opportunity, and no one was very optimistic about the fourth prince.
King Yong instead got the opportunity to take over the East Palace.
King Qi's carriage, protected by servants, left the palace and headed towards Prince Qi's Mansion. When night fell, they passed by Anyefang where Ningrong Street is located. Suddenly they heard a sound, opened the bamboo curtain of the carriage and raised their heads.
Looking over, I saw several brilliant fireworks in the low night sky. I was upset for a while, and frowned and asked: "Which house is setting off fireworks? The soldiers of the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division don't care!"
At this moment, Chen Han is not like later generations, forbidding the setting off of fireworks and firecrackers...
Moreover, if one family sets off fireworks, they won't be visible to the whole city. They can only be seen within a mile or two at most. Since night has just fallen, they won't disturb the people.
"Your Majesty, look in the direction, it seems to be the Jia Mansion on Ningrong Street?" the servant outside said.
"Ningrong Street, Jia's house?" Upon hearing this, King Qi's face turned gloomy, and he said in a cold voice, "It's Jia Heng's son!"
If it weren't for Jia Heng's son, how would he be in this situation?
He was demoted from a prince to a county prince, and his flesh was cut and his blood was bled. It was all because of Jia Heng's son!
"You treacherous little boy, jumping up and down to alienate the Tian family's flesh and blood, with ulterior motives! I must have a good talk with Grandpa Huang about this matter!" King Qi's eyes flashed coldly, and he said with hatred in his heart.
It is worth mentioning that the Supreme Emperor, who is now in the Chonghua Palace, is nearly 70 years old. It has only been in the past six or seven years that the Communist Party has gradually died down. However, due to his obsession with power, he is still reluctant to let go completely.
Emperor Chongping had integrated the local governors, gained the allegiance of the civil servant group and local powerful factions, and gained the reputation of justice, and gradually accepted the surrender of some Wuxun groups.
The old emperor also had to make plans for Chen Han Sheji and his posthumous reputation, and could no longer act recklessly.
