Chapter 295

"Your Majesty, it is clear that an explosion occurred in a barren mountain on the outskirts of the city!"

In the palace, a Chamberlain hurried in, crawled on the bluestone floor and said respectfully.

"Barren mountain?"

The saint frowned slightly. Today is the Lantern Festival. The whole capital is playing and enjoying lights.

Even the curfew on weekdays was cancelled tonight.

Because of the Lantern Festival, there will be some accidents every year.

But, basically, it's all water, or people stampede, or a workshop explosion.

As it is today, the movement outside the city is felt even inside the city, and the land trembles slightly. The situation is a little serious.

"Yes, I ordered someone to check it. This barren mountain was bought by Jia Zhen of Ningguo mansion a few months ago. It is said that it is for his father Jia Jing to practice Taoism and rest." the internal attendant carefully replied.

"Ning Guofu?"

The saint's face is not very good-looking. As a new king, he is not very welcome to the old ministers of the supreme emperor.

Especially the parasites like the four kings and eight princes who lie on the imperial court to suck blood. There is no one who knows how to make progress in such a big family.

Instead, he is drunk all day, fighting chickens and running dogs, extravagant enjoyment in his own door, but he still owes money to the household department.

After the sage ascended the throne, he looked at the empty Treasury and was very angry.

He had so many political ambitions that he failed in the word "money".

If you want to recover the arrears, but the supreme emperor is still there. For filial piety and the final military power, the sage must not disobey.

The supreme emperor was very lenient to his old ministers. After giving way, he increasingly wanted a good name of "benevolent monarch" and refused to be too harsh to his courtiers.

So——

If the sage remembers correctly, Ning Rong's two houses also owe the money of the Ministry of household.

The two governments add up to millions of Liang.

He owed the imperial court money, but he also wantonly built relatives' Villas.

Now, someone came back and said that Jia Zhen of Ningguo government actually bought a mountain enclosure to build a Taoist temple for his Lao Tzu.

The sage himself wants to build a hot spring. Other palaces have no money!

"It's Ningguo mansion, but it's actually general Sanpin Weilie. It's just that the madam of Rong mansion is still there, and the old sage gives special treatment to the old ministers, so --" the internal attendant explained in a low voice.

In strict accordance with the law and regulations, Ning Rong's two houses must have seriously exceeded the system.

Jia Zhen is only a third-class general, while Jia amnesty is slightly better, but he is only a first-class general.

The plaques of the government are hung on the plaques of the two main doors, and the houses and ornaments in the government are seriously beyond their due grade.

Everyone is even used to calling them the government, but in fact, they have not been the government for a long time.

Saint:... Of course I know that.

If he had not scruples about the emperor, he would have cleaned up these unruly things according to law.

"Jia Jing? I remember he was a Jinshi of Yimao branch, but later he went to practice?"

The sage didn't want to think about those unruly Xun GUI, so he pulled the topic back to the normal and continued to ask about the loud noise just now.

"Your Majesty, that's right. I heard that Jia Jingxi is good at refining pills -"

Without waiting for the waiter to finish, the sage seemed to think of something. "Lin Hai mentioned last time that he had taken a pill refined by Jia Jing. Is that so?"

The internal attendant was stunned for a moment. After a while, he hurriedly said, "it's true. However, the effect of the pill is too strange. Lord Lin got up with an abscess. After the abscess retreated, he almost left a scar on his face."

"But he survived!" the saint pointed to the core of the problem.

At that time, the sage may not know how serious Lin Hai's condition was.

However, I heard that the daughters of the Lin family who were fostered in Rongguo mansion all traveled thousands of miles to Yangzhou. From this, we can conclude that the situation of Lin Hai was very serious at that time.

The saint's eye liner, which was placed beside the emperor, had once returned to one thing: when Lin Hai was seriously ill, he sent a secret break to the emperor.

Only the emperor looked at the fold and burned it. The eyeliner did not know the details.

However, what Lin Ruhai said in the secret fold is somewhat speculative.

Perhaps the salt inspector trusted by the supreme emperor realized that his life was not long and wanted to ask for personal favor with the supreme emperor.

However, the supreme emperor, it is true to remember old love, but it is also true to remember revenge.

Lin Ruhai is loyal to the supreme emperor and attaches great importance to the orthodox heir of the abolished prince.

Therefore, for a long time, Lin Ruhai was a waste Prince's money bag.

Later, the abandoned crown prince was bad. The emperor did not want to see his son raised by himself as a traitor, so he thought someone had led the abandoned crown prince bad.

Lin Ruhai's grade is not high, but he has always delivered money to the waste prince.

And if the waste Prince dares to rebel, enough silver is his strength.

Rounding, at least in the emperor's view, Lin Ruhai had something to do with the prince's rebellion.

Lin Ruhai:... I've been wronged, you Muyou?!

It's not enough to say that he should bear a grudge, but the supreme emperor left Lin Ruhai in Yangzhou and allowed him to struggle in the treacherous officialdom in the south of the Yangtze River.

Jia Min's death may have something to do with those crazy and tangled salt merchants.

Lin Ruhai himself also boiled the lamp dry and almost died in office.

The supreme emperor and the Emperor may not be unaware of Lin Ruhai's wrongs and grievances, but they chose to ignore them.

The supreme emperor is old and gives way to the throne. The whole person becomes more and more willful.

Today's emperor wants to bring Lin Ruhai under his command, but he is afraid that he used to be an old minister of the supreme emperor.

This time, Lin Ruhai nearly died of illness, but he somehow survived.

He may have experienced the disaster, realized it, handed over some information collected in his hand to the saint in the form of secret folding, and begged to resign again and again.

The information sent by Lin Ruhai was very valuable. Following the clues he provided, the sage soon caught the handle of the Zhen family in Jiangnan.

As soon as the supreme emperor closes his eyes, the saints will be completely liquidated!

For the sake of these information, the sage also saw that Lin Ruhai was really poor - he was over fifty, lost his wife and son, and had only a sick daughter under his knee!

Oh, forget it!

Lin Ruhai didn't do anything to bring disaster to the country and the people. He just made his own decisions. There's no need to kill all the people!

The sage granted Lin Ruhai's request to resign and rewarded him to return to Beijing for recuperation.

After Lin Ruhai returned to Beijing, the sage asked him carefully about his serious illness.

Hearing Jia Jing's name from his mouth, the sage was a little concerned.

Today, there was a loud noise outside the city on the night of the Lantern Festival. It was actually related to Jia Jing. The sage had to pay attention to it.

After sending the Chamberlain, the saint changed to the dark guard: "go and have a good look to see what's going on?"

Jia Jing can make alchemy, and it seems normal to blow up a furnace for alchemy.

You know, the gunpowder of China was first discovered by Taoist alchemy.

At that time, the imperial court also had gunpowder and fire gun.

However, the power of explosives is not large, and the stability is very poor.

The fire gun is not safe. Its range and power are very general. It can't play a miraculous effect in war.

"What do you want to do?"

In fact, not only the sage was curious, but the whole Jia family was also very surprised.

Jia's mother, in particular, is looking forward to her mother's visit. Their Jia family finally has a moment to honor their ancestors.

As a result, the lady here had just entered the Grand View Garden. Before she could see the scenery, she heard a loud noise in the distance.

The chambermaids and maids from the palace were afraid of making trouble outside and bumping into noble people, so they hurried Xiande imperial concubine back to the palace.

Jia Yuanchun:... I just entered the house, but I haven't turned around yet. Then I called my family to talk nearby, and the result was nothing——

Rao is Jia Yuanchun's self-restraint, and he can't help scolding his mother at the bottom of his heart.

After suffering in the palace for more than ten years, she finally had the opportunity to return home in good clothes.

All the tables were set up, and her people came, but they told her: kiss, it's dangerous, go back to the palace!

Jia yuanchunxu was angry. Before leaving, he took Jia's mother's hand and repeatedly told him, "grandma, we must find out what happened today!"

She wanted to see who was making her uncomfortable.

If it's really a mob outside, it's all right. If it's what the Jia family knows, hum, she Jia Yuanchun will not give up with each other!

Jia Yuanchun was angry and his mother hated him.

Jia Yuanchun didn't have to explain it. Congratulations on seeing Feng Jia away. Jia's mother ordered people to check it.

Soon, there were results——

"Third Master Cong set off fireworks in the mountain and accidentally blew up a mountain!"

Hearing the news, Jia's mother, Jia amnesty, Jia Zheng and others were angry.

It's really a platform demolished by one's own family. It's more hateful than outsiders.

But they couldn't find the main Lord when they wanted to settle accounts, so they had to aim at Jia Zhen.

Jia Zhen:... Who did my mother provoke?

He hates Jia Cong, too, okay?!

In the past, my father paid no attention to anyone in XuanZhen temple, but Jia Zhen was free.

But now, my father has to make a request from time to time, and he will get him in front of him.

It's OK to see his father's preferences for Jia Cong, a cheap brother. The key is that Jia Zhen is trembling and worried in front of Jia Jing.

Because of her father's recent style, Jia Zhen didn't dare to be as mischievous as in the past.

First, I'm afraid my father wants to "discipline" himself on a whim.

Second, following Jia Cong, Jia Zhen was no longer the "only son" of Ning Guofu.

In Jia Zhen's opinion, Jia Cong is no longer an insignificant stepson (adopted son), but a potential competitor.

Although it is unlikely, Jia Zhen should also prevent Jia Cong from taking everything from the government one day!

After all, it is Jia Cong who accompanies his father day and night. He is not a plant. Jia Cong is also a smart and painful child.

Over time, feelings will inevitably arise——

Oh, I dare not think, I dare not think.

With these scruples, Jia Zhen became more and more disciplined. He dared not easily provoke even the beautiful and coquettish you sisters.

And the riding, shooting, playing and other activities with those noble children basically stopped.

Jia Zhen even began to restrain the slaves under the door and put an end to the possibility of causing trouble for herself.

In addition, Jia Zhen will run to other hospitals in the suburbs when she has nothing to do, regardless of what her father once said "I don't want to see you".

He is the son of his father. He must not be separated because of his neglect to meet, and then let Jia Cong take advantage of the loophole.

He Tiantian didn't deliberately discipline Jia Zhen, but she virtually put pressure on Jia Zhen.

Jia Zhen is not stupid. He used to be so unscrupulous. He just had nothing to fear.

Now, the living ancestor of "Jia Jing" has to brush a sense of existence from time to time, which is very frightening to Jia Zhen.

The existence of Jia Cong also makes Jia Zhen dare not be too presumptuous.

Jia Zhen did not dare to hate her own father, so she recorded all the accounts on Jia Cong.

However, before he could find a way to settle accounts with Jia Cong, Jia Cong let him bear the consequences for his mistakes.

Jia Zhen is almost bent!

"Maybe there is some misunderstanding. Brother Cong is not sensible, and the master will look at him!"

What else can Jia Zhen say?

Can only accompany a smiling face, instead of the worry free cheap brother to apologize to the west house.

"Hum, I think their 'father and son' agree. One is alchemy and the other is mountain bombing!"

Jia amnesty was bored when he heard Jia Cong's name. He said something in a strange way.

He absolutely has reason to sneer at the word "father and son". Jia Cong is his own son.

As a result, Jia Jing said, Jia Zhen, the patriarch, changed the genealogy. It's no use if Jia amnesty doesn't agree.

Jia amnesty doesn't care about Jia Cong, a common son, but he can't, but he can't be robbed!

Now, Jia Cong has become Jia Jing's son and made trouble under Jia Jing's connivance. Jia amnesty really wants to laugh up to the sky - deserved it!

Jia Cong blew up the mountain. Although it was his own private property, the whole capital shook, which was very dangerous.

Jia amnesty doesn't believe it. The imperial court will ignore such a dangerous act?!

However, what happened later made Jia amnesty more and more angry.

The imperial court did ask about the explosion in Jia's other courtyard, but learned that it was the children of the family who inadvertently made a more powerful explosive when they saw their father's Alchemy. Instead of punishment, they also rewarded him.

"Give three hundred mu of land and one hundred liang of gold!"

Jia amnesty:... Was the saint confused by the bombing?

Where did he know that Jia Cong took the opportunity to hand in all the secret prescriptions of "bomb" and an improved version of the fire gun drawing.

With his prescriptions, the combat effectiveness of the imperial court's soldiers and horses can soar several levels in an instant!

Jia Cong also said that while following his father's Alchemy, he accidentally found a way to purify glass, which is more exquisite and beautiful than those imported glass products.

Saint:

Gunpowder improved the combat effectiveness of the imperial court, and glass could earn a lot of money for the household.

To tell you the truth, if another person has such a contribution, saints are not stingy to award each other a title or a title.

But the Jia family's Ningguo Mansion——

Alas, Qin Keqing died less than a year ago.

No matter how embarrassed she is, she is also the blood of the royal family.

The royal family will not let her recognize her ancestors, but she is not allowed to be trampled on and killed like this.

Even today's saints who don't deal with the waste Prince very well heard that Jia jiaran was bold enough to kill the illegitimate daughter of the waste prince. His first reaction was also angry.

Jia Yuanchun betrayed Qin Keqing, and the sage could allow it.

Jia Zhen's black hand made the sage angry.

Jia family, let's make atonement first.

Gunpowder and glass should be the life money of Jia Zhen and others in the Ningguo government.

When the Jia family still scolded Jia Cong as a disaster leader, he had helped the Jia family eliminate some disasters.

At least, the sage will no longer take Jia family as the chicken to "make an example of others".

He Tiantian doesn't care. She only cares about one thing——

When Jia Cong stirred up some new things again, the consciousness of the small world did not send a warning signal.

He Tiantian put down her hanging heart: good, my plan is really feasible!
