After listening to Miaozhu's words, Ruizhu felt a little guilty and didn't know how to refute.
But Jia Ke didn't take Miaozhu's words to heart at all. Ruizhu came to plead for Chu King Jia Zhi, which already showed some friendship. If she was asked to abandon her son and live and die with Jia Zhi, I'm afraid she is not that noble yet.
sentiment.
"You don't have to take these words to heart. They are doing this for personal gain. They only think about the friendship of others, but they don't know how much harm they do to the world."
Ruizhu felt better after listening to Jia Ke's secret guard, and then with Jia Ke's permission, she lowered her head and exited the cabin.
After Ruizhu left, Jia Ke came to the dagger, picked it up from the ground, and looked carefully under the light. It was blue, and the blade should be smeared with poison.
Jia Ke looked at the dagger with anger on his face. He had now abandoned some of his last father-son affection for Chu King Jia Zhi.
This is the second time that King Jiazhi of Chu has come to assassinate him. In this case, he should pretend that he does not have this son.
After thinking about it, Jia Ke came up and stared at Miaozhu fiercely, and then ordered Li Deshan on the side, "Give her a glass of poisonous wine, and then throw the body into the river, so that her soul will never have peace in the future."
After Jia Ke finished his instructions, he flicked his sleeves and left the cabin.
When Li Deshan saw Jia Ke leaving, he came to Miaozhu with pity on his face. After all, when Qin Keqing was still the queen, Li Deshan had very close contacts with the maids under her.
"Why are you doing such a stupid thing? No one can save you now."
After hearing this, Miaozhu didn't feel timid about Li Deshan's words. Instead, she raised her head and said to Li Deshan: "Eunuch Li, the queen was not kind to you when she was here. For the sake of the queen, please take good care of King Chu."
After hearing what he said, Li Deshan felt a little funny. Is this woman stupid? Now that King Chu has been cornered by her, he still needs to take care of him.
"Miaozhu, are you really stupid or pretending to be stupid? If you don't assassinate His Majesty today, the King of Chu may be able to survive, but if you assassinate His Majesty today, then there will be no hope for the King of Chu."
Miaozhu was a little confused at first, but as Li Deshan explained, she seemed to come to regret it.
Li Deshan shook his head, took out a porcelain bottle from his arms, and handed it to the eunuch next to him.
When the eunuch saw the porcelain bottle, he immediately uncorked the bottle, came to Miaozhu, grabbed her mouth, and drank it directly.
Miaozhu was stunned when she felt a smelly liquid enter her belly. Before she could react, she felt abdominal pain like cramping.
Miaozhu knew that she was about to die. Thinking about it again, she regretted what she had done today. What happened today was not what Chu King Jia Zhi ordered her to do. She originally wanted to help King Chu, but she didn't expect that it made him even more miserable.
difficult.
At this time, Miaozhu could only endure the pain in her stomach and said intermittently to Li Deshan: "What happened today has nothing to do with King Chu. Someone instigated me."
When Li Deshan heard this, his eyes immediately widened. This was incredible news. Who dared to instruct someone to assassinate Wang Shajia?
But before Li Deshan could ask carefully, there was a eunuch next to him. He suddenly moved forward and stabbed the poisoned dagger directly into Miaozhu's heart.
Then the eunuch came directly to him without saying anything.
Li Deshan stood nearby and felt that for a moment, Miaozhu was killed, and then the killer also committed suicide.
Li Deshan still didn't understand that there was some conspiracy in this.
So he did not dare to neglect, and hurried out of the cabin and went straight to Jia Ke's bedroom. When he came to the door, he asked the guarding eunuch to go in and report.
After a while, the eunuch came out and asked Li Deshan to go in and reply.
When Li Deshan entered the room, Jia Ke asked before he could speak.
"Miaozhu has been dealt with?"
After hearing this, Li Deshan hurriedly stepped forward and knelt on the ground.
"Long live my Lord, something went wrong with my servant."
"What's going on? Can we let that Miaozhu escape?"
"Back to Lord Long Live, before she died, Miaozhu said that this time it was not Chu Wang Jia Zhi who instigated it, but someone else."
Jia Ke was startled after hearing this, and then thought about it carefully. It seemed that some people wanted Chu King Jia Zhi to die early.
Now that I think about it, there is indeed something strange about this matter. Who in the world doesn't know that Jia Ke is superb in martial arts, and now he actually sends a weak woman with no strength to assassinate him? Isn't it obvious that he is here to deliver food?
"Then did Miaozhu say who supported him?"
Li Deshan was now a little ashamed and ashamed, "Back to Lord Long Live, just as Miaozhu was about to speak, he was stabbed to death by an eunuch on the dragon boat, and then the eunuch also committed suicide."
When Jia Ke heard what was happening here, he slammed the table and asked, "What's going on today? Why are there so many spies among the people around me?"
First he poisoned himself, then he was stabbed, and then another assassin appeared next to him.
"Li Deshan, what do you do to control the secret guards? I have been assassinated several times in the past few days, and there are so many assassins around me, but you don't know anything about it."
Li Deshan now knew that he had made a big mistake and could only kneel there and kowtow.
Jia Ke lost his temper, and finally managed to suppress his anger and said to Li Deshan: "Check it out for me immediately. You have to change all the people around me. This time, you have to choose someone who is innocent. I am going out again."
Cha Zi, I want your dog’s head.”
After listening to Jia Ke's rich words, Li Deshan breathed a sigh of relief, and then crawled out of the room to arrange things.
After Li Deshan went out, Jia Ke was the only one left in the room.
Jia Ke's face is now uncertain. In the palace, the only people who can command Jia Ke are the Empress Dowager Jia Mu or the Empress Dowager Zhou, or Xue Baochai.
Among the three people, Jia Mu and Xue Baochai had the most reason to act.
Jia's mother showed her dislike for Chu King Jia Zhi more than once. In order for her son to be promoted to Dabao, Xue Baochai also wanted to get rid of Jia Zhi as a future trouble.
But for these two people, Jia Zhi really had no way to take action. Needless to say, the Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager left Li Fa there.
As for Xue Baochai, Xue Baochai has been in charge of the harem these years and has handled the affairs of the harem in an orderly manner. In addition, he has given birth to a son for himself, so he cannot dispose of Xue Baochai just because of the slightest suspicion.
Jia Ke finally let out a long sigh. He was neither deaf nor dumb nor a wealthy man. As long as they didn't cause any trouble, let's get over it this time.
When Jia Ke was sighing here, he didn't know that on another dragon boat, the good concubine Qiaolian breathed a sigh of relief after receiving the news that Miaozhu had been killed.
At the same time, I also felt a little proud. This time I could kill two birds with one stone.
Firstly, this time Chu King Jia Zhi has no hope. Secondly, in this matter, Jia Ke would never doubt himself, a powerless concubine, so the last person to doubt would be those beautiful concubines.
Man. This can also be regarded as causing trouble for one's opponents.
The dragon boat continued its journey the next day. This time there was no trouble, and it came directly to Ma Tou in Jinling Mansion.
When they arrived at Ma Tou, Jinling Mansion and various officials and gentry from Jinling were waiting on the pier to greet him.
Among them, the one standing at the front is Jia Daixing, the patriarch of the Jia family in Jinling.
When Jia Ke got off the dragon boat, these people quickly knelt down and kowtowed to Jia Ke. Jia Ke took two steps forward and helped Jia Daixing up.
"Old patriarch, you are my elder and you cannot be so polite."
The patriarch then stood up tremblingly.
Then Jia Ke said to the kneeling people: "Everyone, please stand up, no need to be polite."
After everyone stood up, Jinling Weaver Wei Kun took two steps forward and came to Jia Ke, "Master, I really want this slave to die."
Jia Ke looked at this loyal servant who had been following him, patted him on the shoulder and said, "How are you? How are you doing during this time?"
"Thanks to the blessing of Lord Long Live, slave, I am eating well and sleeping soundly now."
Then Wei Kun said: "Long live my lord, the palace arranged for you this time is the residence of the Zhen family back then."
Jia Ke nodded after hearing this. He was not dissatisfied with this arrangement at all. After all, he had heard that the Zhen family was the richest in the world at that time, so he thought that the house would not be much worse than the palace.
Then Jia Ke got on the royal chariot and, surrounded by a group of people, went straight to the old residence of the Zhen family in Jinling City.
When Jia Ke entered the Zhen family's house, he was shocked.
This house is simply too magnificent. Even the palace, although it is tall and majestic, is far inferior to it in terms of luxury and compactness.
This courtyard also has the style of a Jiangnan garden. You will see the scenery from the moment you enter, including rockeries and lakes, one after another. People feel like they are in a pastoral garden.
Only now does Jia Ke realize how glorious the Zhen family was back then. The Grand View Garden built by Jia's house back then was just insignificant compared to this house.
After Jia Ke visited the house, the Empress Dowager Zhou had arranged to live in the main building in the back house. Jia Ke also chose a courtyard with beautiful scenery as a temporary residence.
In the next few days, Jia Ke took a good rest and tasted Jiangnan delicacies, as well as some Jiangnan beauties.
After Jia Ke had rested, it was time to get down to business. The first thing he did was to pay homage to Jia's main tomb.
Buried here are the ancestors of the Jia family of all generations, including the first generation Rong Guogong, the first generation Ning Guogong, and then Jia Ke's grandfather Jia Daishan and others.
One sunny morning, after leaving the palace, Jia Ke took the Queen Mother Zhou all the way to the Jia family's ancestral grave on the outskirts of the city. At this time, the place was surrounded by soldiers and horses, and no one was allowed to approach within three miles.
Jia Ke personally visited the tombs of the two generations of Rong Guo Gong and Ning Guo Gong on the ancestral graves, and offered a memorial speech.
After paying homage to the Jia family's ancestors, he ordered the Jinling Palace to rebuild the Jia family's ancestral tomb.
