Rongxi Hall was originally the main hall of the Rong Mansion. In the original work of "A Dream of Red Mansions", from Lin Daiyu's perspective, Rongxi Hall was the place where official matters were discussed in the Jia family.
Therefore, the angel sent by Emperor Chongping to deliver the edict did not come to Pennine Mansion, but to Rongguo Mansion.
Of course, if I go to Ning Mansion now, I won't be able to find anyone to take the order.
Jia Heng just came out of Rongxi Hall and stood under the eaves. He listened to Lin Zhixiao's panic report inside, his face was silent, and he was thinking about the next response.
"Emperor Chongping's imperial edict was issued so quickly. Apart from severely reprimanding the Jia family and convicting Jia Zhen, he almost didn't think about it. Whether this would shake Jia Mu's intention to remove her family membership is actually hard to say. It depends on Emperor Chongping's decree and the Jia family.
The reaction to Emperor Chongping’s will...still requires preparation on both sides.”
Thinking of this, Jia Heng felt that he should try to collect as much information about Emperor Chongping from now on.
In fact, the biggest uncertain factor in his current plan is the emperor.
Not only is Tian's heart unpredictable, but his understanding of the Emperor lacks a three-dimensional understanding.
Although he initially leveraged the emperor's influence with the help of Jingzhao Yinxulu, he was using force to push the boat along. He had no direct contact with the emperor's temperament and his tactics, so it was difficult to guess.
At this time, in the Rongxi Hall, as the angel arrived, Jia Mu, Jia She, and Jia Zheng all looked at each other and ordered people to prepare the incense case to receive the order.
Speaking of which, the Jia family also received the order, and there was no need for the internal supervisor to come in advance to teach them the process of receiving the order.
Not long after, a group of eunuchs wearing brocade robes and black crowns passed through the Yimen of Jia Mansion and entered the courtyard in darkness. The leader of the group, in brocade robes and eunuchs' crowns, cheered and cheered.
, his eyes were indifferent, behind him the eunuch held a dragon and phoenix banner, and his retinues were on the left and right.
At this moment, Jia Heng hid under the eaves of the corridor and wanted to leave, but it was too late and he just frowned.
"Everyone in the Jia Mansion accepts the order." The leading eunuch is a eunuch from the Daming Palace. He is about thirty years old. He has a fair face, slender eyes, no beard under his chin, a cold face, without a trace of smile, and holds up a hand high in the air.
The imperial edict was smeared with golden scrolls and embroidered with Ruihe cloud patterns, and shouted in a sharp yet feminine voice.
"Jia Zheng, Jia She... take the order." Jia She, Jia Zheng, Jia Lian, Jia Rong and other male members of the Jia family all bowed in unison.
"My wife, Mrs. Jia Shi, Mrs. Jia Wang... take the order." Jia Mu, Mrs. Xing, Mrs. Wang and others also responded.
With the support of Li Wan and Sister Feng, Jia Mu stepped forward tremblingly. A servant prepared a futon and placed it under the knees of Jia Mu and the female family members.
The eunuch glanced at it but didn't say anything.
At this time, the incense table had also been placed urgently, and everyone in Jia's house knelt down to listen to the holy teachings.
The eunuch unfolded the silk fabric, lowered his eyes, and a soft and sharp voice sounded in the courtyard, "The Emperor is destined to be carried by heaven, and he said:... Jia Zhen is a powerful general of the third rank of the imperial court, the leader of the Ning Kingdom, and after the martial arts, he is supposed to be
The king shared his worries and fended off thieves and bandits. He inherited the legacy of his ancestors and loved his relatives. However, he cherished his heart like a tiger or a wolf. He had no loyalty to the king and lacked the meaning of filial piety and brotherhood. He conspired with thieves and bandits, murdered his relatives, committed evil in the capital and committed crimes.
Abducting women and children...According to the law, depriving him of the title of a mighty general, he was summoned to the Jingzhao Yasi Bureau and convicted in detail. The Jia clan and the whole clan should be on guard against this evil deed, and serve as a warning to others.
"
After the imperial edict was recited, the courtyard in front of Rongxi Hall was already so silent that one could hear a needle drop.
Jia She and Jia Zheng had earth-colored faces and lowered their heads. Jia Lian's face was pale, and his peach blossom eyes were covered with shock.
As for Jia Mu, who had silver hair on her temples, her old face looked gloomy, her lips were trembling slightly, her eyes were darkening, she couldn't breathe, and she had only one thought in her mind: "The title passed down from our ancestors is lost!"
Not only Jia Mu, but also Jia She also reacted with unspeakable fear in his heart. Has the title of Ning Guo been lost?
The sneer on Sister Feng's lips had completely disappeared, and the sharp and bright Danfeng's eyes were full of disbelief.
No, she must be dreaming...
Li Wan's face was indifferent as she listened to what the imperial edict said. For some reason, she felt a vague sense of familiarity. The words in the imperial edict were just... Jia Heng also said them!
Although the expressions are different, the meanings are quite similar.
Youshi frowned tightly, her face was pale, and she pursed her lips slightly. There was a sourness in her eyes under her willow-leaf eyebrows, and her eye circles were a little red.
Her husband... lost his title?
Jia Rong didn't react for a long time. He just heard the words Pian Si Li Liu. He was confused and didn't understand. No, who can tell him what deprivation means?
Why doesn't it sound like a good word?
He understood the details of his crime, but what happened to the title...?
The eunuch combined the imperial edict and sounded a soft voice. He looked at everyone in the Jia family indifferently and said, "The people of the Jia family still don't want to thank the Lord for his kindness?"
The so-called thunder, rain, and dew are all due to the king's grace. The holy emperor issued an edict and used thunder to make the mountains shout long live and thank the Lord for his kindness.
Otherwise, it is just resentment.
Jia pardoned him, and Jia Zheng kowtowed and accepted the imperial edict.
Jia She stepped forward, with a worried look on his face, and cupped his hands and said: "Eunuch, where is your Majesty?"
The eunuch shook his head and said: "The power of God is unpredictable, and even the miscellaneous family members don't know it."
Jia She was anxious and whispered: "Father-in-law, please take a moment to speak and have a sip of tea before leaving."
The internal prison officer obviously hesitated for a moment. At this time, Jia She turned his back to everyone and took out a banknote from his sleeve.
The eunuch's eyes lit up, but he frowned and thought for a moment, feeling that the money might not be easy to get. He accepted the errand sent by Eunuch Dai for the first time and came out to deliver the order. If he took it.
"It's not a good idea to disturb your house. The Za family has to go back to recover." The eunuch cupped his hands and turned to leave.
Looking at the eunuch's retreating figure, Jia She's face suddenly darkened.
Jia Mu had already stood up with the support of Li Wan and Sister Feng. She was in tears and lamented: "Brother Zhen, you have lost your ancestor's title. You have lost it..."
After losing her ancestral title, how could she have the face to meet her ancestors even after a hundred years? She could only cover her face with her hair.
Jia She's face turned livid, and he felt irritable for a while.
Jia Zheng looked sad and sighed: "What the Holy Master just said is almost the same as what Jia Heng said. My nephew has violated the law. The laws of the country are supreme and the emperor will not tolerate him."
When Jia She heard this, his expression suddenly changed. He turned around to look for Jia Heng, and saw the young man in green shirt standing under the eaves of the corridor, staring at him coldly.
Jia She stretched out his hand and pointed at Jia Heng, feeling a burning anger in his chest, and said angrily: "What a thief!"
For a moment, following Jia She's angry curse, all eyes turned to the young man in green shirt.
Mrs. Xing and Mrs. Wang have cold faces and disgusted eyes.
Li Wan, who was supporting Jia's mother, also looked at the young man with a complex expression, unable to express any emotion in his heart.
Thinking back to the couplet in the study that day when I first met this young man, the words were as sharp as a knife and as sharp as the person.
Sister Feng's eyes under Liu Ye's eyebrows were cold, but there was already a trace of imperceptible fear in the depths of her eyes.
"Now that things have happened, if you still think that I was the one who sent Jia Zhen to jail for the crime, you are totally wrong! With Jia Zhen's evil deeds, this day was just brought forward. If he really committed a heinous crime and brought down the clan,
It's too late to regret it." Facing everyone's gaze, Jia Heng pressed the sword on his waist and spoke calmly. He looked at Jia She coldly and said in a deep voice: "Set as a warning to others and be careful, as the Holy Spirit says,
The words are still in my ears, I hope you will do well!"
