【Quick Wear】My Years as a Mother-in-law

Chapter 200 Grandmother Jia 2

Yun Xi had been the Queen Mother, so she wouldn't be too worried if such a situation happened in her court because she had a system. However, ordinary people without plug-ins would definitely be suspicious, and once they became suspicious, they would try to get rid of the person who made them suspicious.

Being a military officer is like this, either you are strong enough to rebel directly, otherwise you will be liquidated sooner or later, or you are loyal but weak!

It depends on how you grasp this "weak".

Jia She murmured, "How could this happen?"

"The plot was already underway. Your mistake just gave the Emperor a way to weaken us. Your father found a way out for the family by switching from military to civilian, but that's not a sure thing. I already had connections in the military, and now I'm switching to civilian. Wouldn't that mean I'm both a soldier and a soldier?"

What is the purpose of a family that is "both civil and military"? The deaths of Jia Hu and Jia Zhu can be seen as an example of this.

Jia She was no fool, but he couldn't think of a solution. "What should we do? Rongguo Mansion has become a hot potato. Mother, do you have any ideas?"

Yun Xi closed her eyes. "Let's do this. First, spread the news slowly. Hu'er is not in good health. Then, get rid of our military connections and finally break away from the four princes and eight dukes. Then, stay at home and observe mourning. Let's see if His Majesty's attitude will change in three years."

Break the impasse? There is no way to break the impasse. Anyone who has read A Dream of Red Mansions knows that the Jia family is on the road to self-destruction and there is no turning back. Although many things have not happened yet, they have aroused the fear of the higher-ups. Unless someone in power is replaced, Yun Xi has already decided to let the current emperor become the emperor emeritus in advance, and then surrender to the next emperor and break away from the four princes and eight dukes.

If only the system was still there, I could have just found a way to become the emperor. Damn it!

Yun Xi said, "Go and take care of these two things first. As for the military relations, you can just break your leg and lie down at home because of sadness. Don't contact those people in the military in the future."

Zhang frowned, "Can this help me break away from the military?"

"Of course. The eldest brother is a first-class general. Logically, he should inherit the military connections. He didn't contact the army after breaking his leg. Coupled with Hu'er's poor health, the emperor can see our attitude." Yun Xi pursed her lips. "Before the master passed away, he was supporting Wang Ziteng. The Wang family wants to take over the remaining connections. It's wishful thinking. Then they can divorce Wang Shi and fall out with the four princes and eight dukes."

Jia She's eyes widened slightly, "Is this really okay?"

Yun Xi shook her head helplessly, "This is the only way, you guys go back and do it first."

After everyone left, Yun Xi used the invisibility talisman to walk towards the palace. In her hand was the powerful muscle-softening powder that she had prepared for Lian Cheng in the previous mission. This medicine could soften the tendons throughout the body, making it impossible to walk, use arms, write, or speak, but it could ensure clear consciousness, normal sexual function, etc. If taken care of properly, the muscles would not become weak.

This was something Yun Xi prepared specially for Lian Cheng. It was colorless and odorless, and would disappear without a trace in the air or water in less than half an hour. It would only take effect if it entered the human body within half an hour.

I didn't expect it to be used in the last mission, but it was used this time. I wonder what happened to Lian Chen...

When she arrived at the palace, Yun Xi was much more cautious this time. She walked in deserted places and spent more than an hour to find the emperor's palace. The emperor inside was reviewing memorials and looked very diligent. After watching for a while, she found that the emperor had not had water for a long time.

Yun Xi had an idea and found the right opportunity. She walked in quietly and poured the medicine powder into the tea room while no one was paying attention. After waiting for a while, the eunuch left with the teapot. She followed closely. It was indeed for the emperor to drink. There was not much tea, and the emperor finished the whole pot quickly.

Yun Xi was secretly happy. She turned around and left, thinking for a while, and walked towards the house of a prince. This person might be the next emperor. He was also very diligent and served the people. He was only in his teens. After throwing the note at this house, she quickly returned home.

Let the eldest brother take 500,000 taels of silver to the prince's house to show his loyalty. This money is almost half of the cash in the Jia family. The Jia family has not completely declined yet.

"Son, when you get there and cry about your bad luck, you must show your loyalty, okay?" Yun Xi said, then quickly went back to sleep, quietly waiting for changes in the court.

The Fourth Prince was reading in his own house. He had just moved out of the palace not long ago, and after being free for a while, he still felt that he needed to study hard. At this moment, a servant reported that Jia She wanted to see him. The housekeeper took a few steps slower with the note in his hand and could only wait patiently.

Jia She held the silver and cried to the Fourth Prince for a long time, expressing his loyalty. He also gave the money to the Fourth Prince, and he and the Fourth Prince went from being strangers to becoming "close friends."

At least the Fourth Prince felt that Jia She saw through his great talent and strategy, so he secretly joined him. After all, he had just established his mansion and was short of money. The 500,000 taels of silver was simply a timely rain.

"Your Highness, from now on, if you order me to go east, I will never dare to go west. Although I don't have much ability and am neither good at literature nor martial arts, I will absolutely be obedient and willing to go through fire and water for you." Jia She bowed deeply with admiration on his face.

The Fourth Prince felt extremely satisfied. "Brother Jia, please stand up quickly. You are the first one to recognize a pearl with your discerning eye. This prince will not let you down."

……

In just three hours, the two men became as close as brothers. After Jia She left, the housekeeper hurried in to report the news.

"Your Highness, something terrible has happened!"

"Old Su, what happened? I just got 500,000 taels of silver today. I'm so happy!"

Su Zhongan hurriedly handed the note over, "Master! Please take a look!"

After reading it, the Fourth Prince's joy turned into great delight, "This, this, this..."

Su Zhongan reminded: "Your Highness, hurry up and act. Whoever seizes the initiative will win!"

"Yes! That's right! Old Su, go find my future father-in-law and ask him to take troops to control the residences of several princes. Old Su, you...if my father does not pass the throne to me, you prepare the imperial edict!" After the fourth prince finished speaking, he hurried into the palace with a guard with high martial arts skills.

It was not until the third day that news came from the palace that the emperor abdicated the throne to the fourth prince due to illness. The fourth prince changed the country's name to Yong'an, and the next year would be the first year of Yong'an. Everyone in the capital was shocked.

At the Jia family, which was in the process of dividing up the family property, Jia She stared at Yun Xi with wide eyes. Yun Xi's face was also full of disbelief, without a single flaw.

"Boss, your leg is injured, you should rest at home now. Zhang, you should take people to take care of the house. No one should go out of the house. Anyone who dares to go out will be sold! Wait until the dust settles." Yun Xi suspended the division of the family.

After waiting for another three days, Xia Zhongan finally brought the imperial edict, and Jia She was conferred the title of Earl of Loyalty and Righteousness.

(The titles in the Dream of Red Mansions seem to be lowered according to the titles of the royal family. This is very strange. In the Qing Dynasty, the royal family title below the super-grade auxiliary duke and the zhenguo duke was the first-grade zhenguo general, which is different from the one in the Dream of Red Mansions. If Jia She's first-grade general was the first-grade zhenguo general, then he would have inherited the title normally like Jia Daihua. In this case, Jia Mu and the Wang family would never dare to treat the eldest wife like that. I don't understand this, so I promoted Jia She to earl according to the title of meritorious official of different surnames.)

Everyone in the mansion has different thoughts.

Although Jia She's rank of First-Class General is also of the First Rank, it's just an honorary title, equivalent to the Third Rank. Logically, the rank below the Duke of Rong should be a Marquis or Earl, but unexpectedly, he is a First-Class General, and now he has become the Super Rank Loyalty Earl? Is the Jia family about to become prosperous and glorious again?

Jia She was naturally happy. He didn't expect that he could be promoted to a higher title just by chance by spending 500,000 taels of silver. It was so cool.

In fact, Jia She didn’t know that the new emperor was short of money for some reason.
