Chapter 294 The scenery when the country was founded
The gap between the big house and the second house is getting bigger and bigger!
Not only the second master Zheng was very depressed about this, the eldest master was also very anxious.
It's not that he has a good heart and hopes that his second wife will live a good life, but that the gap between the two families is getting bigger and bigger. With Jia Mu, an eccentric old feudal prince, the first family will still be troubled in the future.
, or the elder is more appropriate.
The current situation in Rong Mansion is not even a bit better than that of the same period in the original work.
Don't worry about family affairs, maybe Jia Mu will live longer.
The elder is not cursing Jia Mu, but if she is around, the elder will inevitably become the nanny of the second bedroom.
If something happens to the second room that cannot be solved, go to the big room. If you get into trouble, go to the big room. Or if there are other changes, go to the big room.
It's okay to pay it back once or twice, but if it happens too many times, it's not a joke if the first bedroom is happy or not, and the second bedroom becomes inertia.
Apart from anything else, with the temperaments of Jia Mu and Mrs. Wang, they would really rely on Da Fang. This is no joke.
It's okay for the elder. Anyway, he has a separate courtyard outside and usually lives in another courtyard. If he really gets bored and doesn't go back to Rong Mansion, Jia Mu can't do anything to him.
But Lian Er and Wang Xifeng couldn't escape. After all, they were juniors. If they didn't want outsiders to accuse them of being unfilial, they had no choice but to do some things even if they were reluctant.
If you do a lot of wiping the second wife's butt, you will naturally have intersections with other forces and even conflicts of interest. If you offend someone, you can just pay it back. What you are afraid of is that you will not be able to repay the favor you owe.
If Lian Er and his wife are deeply involved in the situation and cannot withstand the intersection of interests with other forces, there will probably be big problems in the future.
Naturally, the elder would not see such a thing happen, so he gave the second room a hope, a hope of rising.
Pushing Jia Huan out, firstly, this kid is really ruthless, and it is not difficult to become a talented person as long as he is properly trained; secondly, Jia Huan's affairs can easily involve the interests of the second house and cause internal disputes within the second house.
The effect is quite good!
Mrs. Wang didn't understand what was going on, so she still followed her old habit of suppressing Jia Huan, a bastard. Especially when Baoyu didn't like to study and spent three days fishing and two days drying nets, the suppression was even more severe.
However, they faced off against the second master Zheng and Jia Zhu and his son. They had different ideas from Mrs. Wang. Baoyu seemed to be ruined, but Jia Huan gained the respect of the eldest master. The character he showed was indeed very suitable for hanging out in the officialdom.
And they were sufficiently motivated that even for the sake of the second wife's future reputation, they would not agree to Mrs. Wang's wish to raise Jia Huan to death.
Due to different philosophies, the interior of the second house seemed peaceful, but a serious internal conflict broke out. However, it was never exposed. Several participants deliberately concealed it, and it did not cause a fuss.
At this point, Mrs. Wang was deeply involved in the disputes within the second house, and for a long time there was no need to worry about her secretly causing harm.
When it comes to Jia Baoyu's interests, she will never give in easily.
For the sake of the overall interests of the second family, Master Zheng and Jia Zhu will not give up Jia Huan at will.
In this way, there was a fierce fight within the second house surrounding Jia Huan's affairs, and the first house could relax a little without worrying about their unexpected hidden tricks.
This kind of thing was just something the eldest master did casually and took advantage of the Jia clan's academic momentum to create a few waves.
He didn't pay too much attention to the mansion. The atmosphere in the capital has been very subtle recently.
After more than a year of preparation, Prince Zhongshun finally made the final decision and went directly to the court to give up the throne to his eldest son!
This move caused huge turmoil in the court.
You must know that Prince Zhongshun is a powerful force in the court. As the leader and flag of this force, a sudden move to relinquish the title will naturally cause huge fluctuations in the court.
Apart from anything else, the new Prince Zhongshun has his own loyal men. It is hard to say whether he can stabilize the people of his father, Prince Zhongshun.
Not only were the officials under Prince Zhongshun uneasy, but other forces would naturally not miss the opportunity to take advantage of the situation.
Even today, he can't help but take action and seize several key positions from Prince Zhongshun.
The price was to agree to Prince Zhongshun’s surrender!
The entire officialdom in the capital is a little confused. They don't understand why Prince Zhongshun has gone crazy. What does the good prince want to do if he doesn't do it?
Only a few people, including the eldest master, knew that Prince Zhongshun could no longer sit still and wanted to go to Nanyang to fight in person.
Prince Zhongshun, who had been relinquished the title, suddenly heard rumors that he wanted to travel around the world and visit the entire country of Qi.
At first, others only thought it was dazzling, but after Prince Zhongshun stabilized the situation, Prince Zhongshun swaggered out of Beijing with a group of guards, claiming that he wanted to see it from all over the world.
As a result, Prince Zhongshun had no intention of coming back after leaving.
Not long ago, news suddenly came from Jiangnan that Prince Zhongshun went out to sea on a sea ship and never appeared again.
This time, the local officials in Jiangnan were frightened, and they hurriedly reported to the court to plead guilty.
After hearing the news, the court began to be in turmoil again, and a new round of official reshuffle began. This time the Zhongshun line was in bad luck.
Prince Zhongshun was not as good as his father, Prince Zhongshun, in terms of ability and charisma. Without Prince Zhongshun in charge, many officials and dignitaries from the Zhongshun family switched to his family. The originally illustrious Zhongshun family was almost completely wiped out.
He squeezed out of the court room.
The eldest man's attention was also attracted, but Prince Zhongshun did not show any affection towards him this time, so as to avoid the trouble of suspicion.
But before this guy left, he sent a message to the elder through a secret channel: There is something you want in the secret pavilion of the palace.
What does the lord want?
Naturally, it is the top secret cultivation book in the hands of the Daqi Dynasty.
Ningrong's second house has "Xuanwu Zhengong Body Training Chapter", Gusu Lin family has "Xuanwu Zhengong Qi Training Method", the royal family may have a complete set of "Xuanwu Zhengong", or other parts of "Xuanwu Zhengong".
The elder had visited several Taoist temples in Jiangsu Province before and had discussions and exchanges with local Taoist masters. With the strength of Prince Zhongshun, he was naturally able to investigate.
As for the situation of Ningrong's Second Mansion, it is no secret to the royal family.
The eldest man's strength suddenly became unbelievable. He may have practiced the magical skills passed down from his family, and he was successful in doing so.
A master like this may not be interested in glory and wealth, but he is definitely very fond of magical secrets. If he wants to have a good relationship with the great master, it is actually quite simple.
When Prince Zhongshun left, he passed these words to the elder. Naturally, he wanted to make good friends and wanted the elder to help him continue to support overseas trade secretly after he left.
As long as overseas trade continues to flourish, Prince Zhongshun will be able to receive a steady stream of logistical supplies after arriving in Nanyang. This is the key to whether he can quickly open up a situation overseas. How could he not pay attention to it?
The eldest master was indeed moved, and accepted Prince Zhongshun's request to reveal the information, so naturally he would not hesitate to help.
If he hadn't clearly sensed that there were several powerful auras in the palace, and the elder was not sure that he could defeat them in a short time, he would have even gone to the palace to investigate.
The world of Red Mansion is indeed not that simple. The families derived from the royal family of Da Qi and the Eight Dukes and Twelve Marquises of the founding of the country all have secret cards.
I just don’t know if the major families have turned these foundations into real strength?
Anyway, Ning Rong's Second Mansion does not have such strength. In fact, it is not impossible to get started with "Xuanwu Zhen Gong Body Forging Chapter", but it requires a huge cost and resources to accumulate a powerful personal force.
I heard from the veterans in Zhuangzi that during the lifetime of the two princes, when Ningrong and Ningrong were at their peak, there were rumors that there were secret guards in the two mansions.
The so-called secret guards are all powerful and powerful. On the battlefield, they can help the two princes conquer the world. In peacetime, they can protect the Rongguo Mansion tightly and nip all outside prying eyes and hostility in the cradle.
Some veterans still remember the astonishing strength of the Duke's Secret Guards. Only a few dozen of them could attack the capital's defenses. This is the main reason why Ning Rong's Second Mansion became the leader of the Eight Founding Dukes.
There was even a time when Ningrong's second house was the leader of the Xungui Group. Even the four kings with different surnames did not dare to take advantage of them, and their momentum reached the extreme.
But I don't know what happened later. Since the rise of Jia Daishan, the last Duke of Rongguo, the number of secret guards in the two mansions seems to have been decreasing, and there is no sign of replenishment.
After Jia Daishan left, the secret guards under the two mansions disappeared as well. In short, Ningrong's second mansion never had such a powerful force again.
According to the veterans scattered in Zhuangzi, not to mention the secret guards controlled by Ning Rong's second house, even the guards on the surface are all elite soldiers and generals with extraordinary martial arts skills.
Several of them later went to the border and made military exploits with their good martial arts, and they all became generals with real power, which shows how strong the Ning Rong Mansion was back then.
But for some unknown reason, after the death of the last Duke of Rong, Jia Daishan, not to mention the mysterious and powerful secret guards of the two palaces, even the guards with powerful martial arts slowly disappeared from everyone's sight. I don't know what happened?
What else could happen?
The eldest man immediately understood that it was probably the royal family who took advantage of the decline of Ningrong's second house to make a secret move, and then wiped out the most powerful secrets and the forces on the surface of the two houses.
Otherwise, looking at the entire Da Qi Dynasty, only the other six founding princes and four kings with different surnames are also involved can they have the strength to do such a thing.
For this reason, the eldest master is very keen on the magical treasures hidden in the royal treasury. If you have the chance, you must go and take a look.
It's a pity. It is estimated that Jia Mu has been kept in the dark all this time. She didn't know that there was such a powerful force in the house. Otherwise, how could she not use it given her temperament?
On the other hand, Zhang Laodao from Qingxuguan probably knows a lot of secrets, but this guy has been accepted by the royal family, so the eldest master will naturally not come to him to expose his thoughts.
