Chapter 2025 Becoming Emperor
Three years later.
The imperial court was defeated by Rong Pharmaceutical Company.
After several battles, although the imperial court won and lost, it was obviously weak.
Although several generals were able to achieve a high exchange ratio, their finances gradually went bankrupt.
Losing the taxable land in the south of the Yangtze River, food, grass, cloth, weapons, armor... were unable to continue to persevere.
At the court meeting, someone proposed peace.
The imperial court gave them the southeast and the north as the imperial residence.
As a result, Rongyao Group refused to accept it.
They know that separatism is impossible.
The southeastern separatist regime is most likely to fall.
Wealth attracts people.
Most of the imperial courts that favored Jiangnan did not cheer up.
They built fortresses along the waterways and marched westward and northward.
More and more forces, officials, and wealthy families have seen the general trend of the world and have taken refuge.
The number of people who want to move in is increasing day by day.
They persuaded Jia Rong to become emperor.
However, Jia Rong said: "The real emperor is someone else, and we have a big boss."
Everyone was confused.
"Why is the boss not the emperor? Isn't it good to be the emperor? Why is there another big boss?"
"Yes, this is the first time I heard that there is another big boss. Will the emperor give it to him?"
"Who could it be?"
…………
Jinling City, on Jiangxin Island in the north.
Zhao Han had already sent all his sisters to live on the island.
It is guaranteed that even if the court is crazy, it will be powerless.
Steam warships patrol the surroundings throughout the day.
Not a bird can fly in.
Some exaggeration.
But it can be guaranteed that no small group of enemies can come ashore.
At this time, many people in Ning Rong's second mansion still didn't know what was happening outside.
Especially the ladies and maids, they only know that there seems to be a bit of chaos outside.
It’s been a long time since I’ve seen anyone from outside come to my door.
They haven't been able to go out for a long time.
In the past, relatives and neighbors would come to our door.
For example, make a birthday, celebrate birthday, etc.
They only knew that there was a war outside, and people couldn't help but feel panic.
Fortunately, Mr. Bao often came forward to appease people, and there was a steady supply of supplies and Western gadgets, so everyone got on like this.
On this day, the sisters gathered in the garden again.
Zhao Han waited until halfway through the banquet and said, "Everyone is reciting poems and composing poems. Please pause for a moment. I have something to tell my sisters."
Everyone was stunned for a moment.
Finally, they were about to know what happened.
In fact, in the past few years, everyone has made speculations, but they were all ignored by Jia Baoyu.
They are also women, so it is impossible to disobey Jia Baoyu's wishes.
Jia Baoyu is not the original Dabao. Now he acts decisively, has a gun, and has the style of a prince, so the girls can only let him arrange it.
"Baoyu, what's the matter with you?" Lin Daiyu said slightly angrily, "Have you been hiding something from us all these years?"
"Well, in the past, you all wanted me to run around. Is an official career economical?" Zhao Han said proudly.
"Brother Bao, this is the right way." Xue Baochai advised.
She heard some rumors but was not sure.
"I have never advised you, everything is up to your own temper." Lin Daiyu said with a raised lip.
"Brother Ai, is there something big going on?" Shi Xiangyun asked doubtfully.
"Okay, today I will tell you that I have shown my cards and won't pretend anymore." Zhao Han stood up and looked around the sisters.
Yingchun, Tanchun, Xichun, Li Wan and so on were all stunned.
"Yes, I will soon reach the end of my official career: becoming the emperor. The mysterious boss of Rongyao Company is me, and I am the biggest rebel leader." Zhao Han said directly.
“Ah!”
"This is impossible!"
"You can't say this casually, Uncle Bao." Li Wan was the most nervous.
The other girls were all shocked, and some of them almost had their eyes popping out.
Shi Xiangyun was the first to say: "Brother Ai, you, you, you said that Rong Pharmaceutical Company is yours. In the past, when I was at home, I only listened to what my family said, and it seemed to be related to Brother Lian. I didn't expect that there was something behind it. The boss is you?”
“Yes, it’s me”
Li Wan was shocked and said: "Uncle Bao, but this, aren't you plotting to usurp the throne?"
She was already incoherent and couldn't think.
My brother-in-law, who has always been as gentle as jade, actually wants to usurp the throne.
How can anyone believe this?
She comes from a scholarly family, and her father is the Imperial College Jijiu.
Most of all, I believe in Tsunasa's story.
"Conspiracy to usurp the throne? No, the Chi family can seize the throne from the previous dynasty, but my Jia family can't do it?" Zhao Han said confidently.
The girls were silent, each one like a sculpture.
Lin Daiyu put her chopsticks in the air, and Xue Baochai covered her mouth with a handkerchief.
In addition to surprise, there was also a hint of joy in Tanchun's eyes.
Yingchunmu was stunned, as if he still didn't understand.
Xichun’s eyes were empty.
Li Wan could not help but cover his mouth and did not dare to speak.
As for the serving maids and women, some actually collapsed to the ground.
Zhao Han really wanted to take out his camera and take pictures for everyone.
Unfortunately not.
I can only take a good look at it and draw it later.
In the end, Lin Daiyu said calmly: "Oh, I used to read history books and always wondered why no one discovered Sima Yi's betrayal. Now I understand that there is really someone better than Sima Yi."
"Hey, I'm not that bad guy Sima Yi, I'm Wang Mang..." Zhao Han quickly took it back mid-sentence, "This Wang Mang is also good at one and bad at the other. I should be that or something, right?" , I am King Wu.”
“Zi’er, you almost made me mad.”
Only Lin Daiyu dared to say this at this time.
The two have known each other for a long time, and Lin Daiyu thought she understood Jia Baoyu's heart.
Even the emperor is kind-hearted.
And Xue Baochai is indeed very smart.
She immediately thought of something that her brother Xue Ban mentioned occasionally when she was still in Jinling City.
It is said that the south is in chaos, and there is a Rong Pharmaceutical Company that has become big.
What nonsense did you say about imperial pills?
At this time, Jia Baoyu said this, which made her realize one thing immediately.
Jia Baoyu is probably 80% sure that the rebellion will succeed.
Although she didn't know much information, she could also know from the places where she had moved over the years that Jia Baoyu was related to the rebellion.
First in the northern capital, then back to Jinling, and then to Jiangxin Island.
Neither Jia Mu nor Mrs. Wang, nor even my uncle, objected...
This shows that they have already thought about important things.
She suddenly thought that Jia Baoyu would be very popular soon.
No wonder a few days ago, my brother came from outside again and said that the imperial court had gone west.
Rich businessmen often invited him to have drinks and go to their homes.
The Xue family's momentum has regained momentum without even realizing it.
I didn’t expect so many big things to happen outside.
In fact, we cannot blame these sisters for their lack of information.
Even in the original work, they are unaware of many major events outside.
Some important events in the court would only be known to them after a long time.
After all, the only channels through which young ladies can get news are maids and women, and listening to people talking when they go out.
They rarely go out on the street.
Especially in the past few years, Jia Baoyu has either locked them up in Grand View Garden, Jinling City, or Jiangxin Island. Just go back to Jinling City. There are even fewer places where they can get information.
Everyone was still silent.
Although Lin Daiyu was speaking in front of her, others still did not dare to speak.
After all, these words were used to punish the nine tribes in the past. No matter how outrageous they were in the past, they would not dare to say them.
At this time, Jia Baoyu said it openly, which really broke the bottom line of the girls.
They are not modern people who can talk nonsense at will.
After a while, Qingwen suddenly asked: "Second Master, so you really want to be the emperor?"
As expected, Qingwen was brave enough.
"Yes, I really want to be the emperor, are you afraid?" Zhao Han went to pinch her ears.
This girl is usually the most daring, and she often shows off her petty temper.
The so-called clear sky is dark shadow.
"Are you losing your mind and going crazy again? I don't believe it. Do you know that you are the emperor?" Qingwen said with a good look on her face.
"It seems that you all don't believe it. However, I can't send troops to show you the military and national affairs. In that case, wouldn't it be King Zhou You?" Zhao Han shook his head.
"It's strange that we would believe it. You can't talk nonsense about this." Qingwen shook her head.
Zhao Han smiled.
She suddenly clapped her hands.
As the applause sounded...
One hundred thousand cavalry appeared, and they all immediately clasped their fists:
"Welcome the emperor back to the capital!"
"Long live the emperor! Long live the emperor!" ”
The sound was shocking.
Of course these are all imaginary...
Xiao Huan still said with disdain: "Your mouth is about to drool. This is a reliable world, you can't have random thoughts."
Only then did Zhao Han wake up, thought for a while and said: "Okay, let me take you to climb the mountain and show you my Longjiang Fleet!"
Then the girls followed her and left the garden. .
Not long after, we arrived at a mountain on Jiangxin Island.
The girls looked down at the river.
I saw rows of large ships passing by.
Zhao Han took out a firework and fired it into the sky.
Play three times in a row.
The next moment, the fleet with billowing smoke began to fire off a 24-gun salute.
The girls started to believe it.
Such a powerful fleet is definitely not something the imperial court can possess.
Everyone still has some common sense.
For example, Shi Xiangyun's family was a prince in the military, and he also heard about some military affairs.
"The second master is going to be the emperor, can you be a concubine for me?" Qingwen suddenly opened her eyes wide and stared at Jia Baoyu.
She was so shocked that she said this subconsciously. After saying this, she covered her face and ran away.
Not as bold as before.
Concubine?
Xue Baochai felt something in his heart.
Jia Baoyu once compared her to Concubine Yang.
She was still very angry at the time, saying that she did not have a good brother like Yang Guozhong, and compared Jia Baoyu to Yang Guozhong.
This is the quality of talented and beautiful women in ancient times. Swearing people is just roundabout.
You really don’t understand if you have no ability.
However, in contrast, her brother Xue Fan is a complete contrast, so down-to-earth...
Now Xue Baochai is thinking, could it be that Brother Bao, at that time, thought of Became emperor?
Otherwise, why would you compare me to a noble concubine?
In fact, she never competed with Lin Daiyu for Jia Baoyu from beginning to end.
Even if there was some misunderstanding, we reconciled with Lin Daiyu.
She did not take the initiative to destroy the relationship between Lin Daiyu and Jia Baoyu, and later married Jia Baoyu because of the relationship between Mrs. Wang and Jia Mu.
In fact, Jia’s mother did not want Xue Baochai to marry Jia Baoyu at first, because Xue Baochai was the daughter of a businessman.
In Jia's mother's mind, she had long compared two coats. Her grandson was actually a peacock, and the Xue family daughter was a wild duck.
Although the latter is rich, it is not expensive.
On the other hand, Mrs. Wang knew that her family had fallen into decline, Jia Baoyu was not favored by others, and Xue Baochai was very suitable to support Baoyu.
And Xue Baochai is closer to Mrs. Wang because she is the daughter of Mrs. Wang’s sister.
Jia Mu prefers Lin Daiyu because Lin Daiyu is the daughter of Jia Mu's daughter.
The distance or distance determines the preference.
Looking at the huge maritime fleet, the atmosphere among the girls gradually became weird.
Everyone seemed to think that what Jia Baoyu said should be true.
Jia Baoyu will be the Three Palaces and Sixth Courtyard from then on.
Lin Daiyu suddenly began to feel sad again when she thought of this.
She turned and left.
"When the flowers fade and the flowers fly all over the sky, who will pity me when the red fades and the fragrance fades..."
You go and be your emperor, and I will bury myself.
While Zhao Han was feeling proud, he suddenly saw Lin Daiyu leaving.
"A dead bird, you're a dead bird again." Xiao Huan gloated, "The jealousy is brewing again, and you can't coax it."
"You guy, I'll put you in the pot and stew you later." Zhao Han threatened.
“You dare!”
Zhao Han did not chase after him this time.
She knew that Lin Daiyu needed to complain.
After all, she will be the emperor in the future, and she needs some means to smooth the harem.
"Um, Brother Emperor, will you ransack your home?" Shi Xiangyun suddenly asked a question that seemed to be meaningless.
“The prince who breaks the law is as guilty as the people. I will rule the world with the law.”
“I will not make everyone fear, so that everyone can live peacefully under the blue sky.”
"The premise is not to break the law."
When Jia Baoyu said these words, although the girls agreed, they felt something was wrong.
It seems like the men of the Jia family have been breaking the law all along, right?
Well, those who broke the law are all dead.
It was cleaned up many times later.
It is much cleaner.
However, some relatives still commit crimes.
For example, Fool Xue would have thunderstorms from time to time.
"Okay, just watch, I still have some things to do." Zhao Han said and left.
“Are you going to coax Sister Lin again?” Shi Xiangyun said with a smile.
"It doesn't seem to be the case this time." Xiren continued.
She is the favorite person in my heart.
He is also the person with the most volatile moods.
At first I thought Jia Baoyu was crazy and was so scared.
Later, I was worried that the other party's rebellion would fail.
Now I know it is probably true.
Originally, she just wanted to be a concubine.
But now, she might become a concubine.
This is the royal concubine.
Glory and wealth are right in front of you.
The sisters were silent for a while, and then suddenly started talking.
"So, our Jia family will be the royal family in the future?" Tanchun said suddenly.
"Yes, congratulations to third sister." Shi Xiangyun smiled.
Tan Chun has always been generous and talented.
Only one can surpass ten Jia Baoyu.
In order to rectify the shortfall, I thought of leasing the land in the Grand View Garden to the maid and mother-in-law to increase the income of both parties.
Although this matter is better than nothing and cannot solve a major problem, it at least proves that people have the ability to save themselves and can lower their heads and do specific things.
This is something Jia Baoyu does not have.
