Chapter 1113 Li Wan: There is a seal on it, but you still have to ask
Chapter 1013 Li Wan: There is a seal on it, but you still have to ask her?
While Jia Heng was talking to Li Wan in the Grand View Garden, there was a commotion in the capital because of the fraud in the imperial examination the day before.
Although Emperor Chongping had previously ordered the internal guards to prevent the spread of rumors, there is no airtight wall in the world, and the news that Han Hui, the son of Han Huang, the chief minister of the cabinet, was involved in the case was gradually spread.
If the examiner is a cabinet minister and the Minister of Justice, Zhao Mo, there is even more market for conspiracy theories.
Some people say that Han Huang, the chief minister of the cabinet, and Zhao Mo, the cabinet minister, were originally from the same party. The two colluded to leak test questions and create a case of imperial examination fraud for the sake of their own children and Jiangnan scholars.
Korean house, in the study
Han Huang sat behind the desk and looked at Yan Hong, who was standing not far away, with a complex expression.
Yan Hong looked gloomy and said: "Brother, there is a lot of discussion in Beijing about the imperial examination scandal the day before yesterday."
Han Huang's face was slumped, and he was a little tired compared to his high spirits a year ago. He waved his hands and said: "The matter has come to this, and there is no need to be afraid of others' comments. For such a big matter, gossip is inevitable."
He said, looking at Han Hui who was standing respectfully at the side, and said: "At the end of the month, the new Jinshi will take another scientific examination, which will be reviewed by His Majesty to determine the wise and the foolish. You should prepare well."
Han Hui on the side lowered his head tightly, with a look of worry on his face as well. Hearing this, he said: "Yes, father."
After Han Hui left, Han Huang sighed, looked at Yan Hong, and said: "The matter is now over, it's useless to think about anything else."
A look of determination appeared on Yan Hong's face and he said: "Brother, I will send a message to the palace."
Han Huang waved his hand, his eyes were filled with thoughts, and he said in a clear voice: "There's no need to do this. It's better to be still than to move now."
Now, I can only refuse to respond to this matter and wait for the passage of time to gradually fade away the matter.
Since the emperor promised not to pursue the matter further, there is no need to worry about anything else.
"Brother, what are your plans next?" Yan Hong asked.
Han Huang pondered and said: "Enter the palace and go to the cabinet."
When Yan Hong heard this, he could only sigh secretly.
And in the afternoon, with the news of the palace raids from the General Secretary, it was like a new hot topic that shot to the top of the hot search list.
Basically, it’s decided! From today on, the four new policies will affect your and my lives (explosion).
Jia Heng's memorial has once again become the focus of heated discussion in the streets of Beijing.
The four new policies included a whipping method, returning fire to the public, apportioning the land into acres, and abolishing the two-year reform and reforming the yuan. It can be described as a package of economic reform plans. Each one not only dazzled the civil and military officials, but also puzzled the ordinary people in the Shenjing City.
Jia Heng's memorials also quickly spread to the capital, and were implemented in all provinces with the developed postal system of the Han Dynasty.
Just as Jia Heng thought, the memorial in the name of Duke Wei almost instantly overwhelmed the previous whipping memorial by the governor of Liangjiang.
You must know that Jia Heng had just returned from holding the chieftain not long ago, and had shocked China. As soon as this statement came out, all the officials and gentry in the world looked at him with suspicion.
Cabinet, Wenhua Hall
Qi Kun sat behind a mahogany writing desk, lowered his eyes and looked at the memorandum copied from the cabinet secretary in a delicate and exquisite pavilion style. He read the words on it, and the surprise on his face gradually expanded.
Previously, just listening to Jia Heng's narration of the key points, I already felt that it was so subtle that it was hard to describe. Now the four new policies are above the memorial, with clear organization and a sense that cannot be compared with verbal descriptions.
This seems to be a well-considered and well-implemented new legal plan, majestic and high-level.
If this policy is implemented, the Han Dynasty's treasury will no longer be in distress. By then, border troubles will be eliminated and a prosperous age will be restored.
The cabinet minister Zhao Mo looked at the memorial in his hand, and his heart was also filled with turmoil.
Because Zhao Mo was involved in the recent imperial examination fraud scandal, although he was still in the cabinet at the moment, he was very preoccupied. He was reading Jia Heng's memorials and felt slightly shaken.
How can this be carried out by dividing the land into acres? This is undoubtedly imposing heavy taxes on the gentry and plundering the people's wealth to support the imperial court. How can it last long?
In the Hanyuan Hall of the Daming Palace, Emperor Chongping also read the memorials written by Jia Heng. His cold and hard face sometimes showed deep thought and sometimes a look of surprise. When he got up, his heart was surging.
At this moment, Jia Heng's four new policies had been circulated throughout the entire Shenjing City. For a time, Ke Dao Zhan Shi and other civil servants were undercurrent and discussing endlessly.
Jia Heng's memorial, in addition to finding out and filling the vacancies in the one-whip method, returned the fire to the public, abolished the two yuan reforms, and abolished the Dingkou tax, which can be described as a virtuous policy.
For a time, ordinary people were happy to hear it.
But some officials who had set up camps in their ancestral areas frowned secretly.
If the Dingkou tax is divided into acres of land, whoever owns the land will pay more tax, and all the princes in the temples and temples will own thousands of acres of land and keep countless slaves.
This is life-threatening.
They studied hard while living in poverty, and finally managed to buy some land for their family, so that they could support themselves in their old age and have grandchildren after they became officials in the future. The imperial court was clearly cutting off their flesh to subsidize those poor people.
This Duke of Wei has brought evil to the country and brought disaster to the people! He is even more cruel than Gao Zhongping, the governor of Liangjiang.

Grand View Garden, Daoxiang Village
It is almost evening, the sun is setting in the west, and the bright sunset glow fills the western sky. Several red apricot trees in Daoxiang Village that have lost their petals are swaying under the cool summer breeze, making a rustling sound, but unknown in the courtyard.
When the cicadas began to chirp, they were sometimes high-pitched and sometimes low-pitched.
As Jia Heng spoke, he hugged Li Wan and headed toward the inner room. The young Huaxin woman in a blue dress looked like a Persian cat, with a lock of lush green hair falling down to her face, and she hugged the young man tightly.
She didn't dare to let go of her neck, but the strange changes in her body shocked the beauty inexplicably.
How could he do this?
This...it's better not to get hurt.
Without even thinking about it, it was like using fifteen buckets to fetch water, and suddenly I felt that the sky and the earth were hanging upside down, and the light was floating in the sky.
At this moment, Jia Heng carried Li Wan to the desk, which was relatively clean and spacious. He did not sweep the pen, ink, paper and inkstone on the desk with his big hands, and gently put down the beauty.
Li Wan looked ashamed and annoyed, and was suddenly startled. When he looked back, he saw that his family was placed on the desk. When he was shocked, his heart suddenly felt ashamed.
He...what else is he going to do?
For a moment, he didn't know Jia Heng's intention, but he raised his beautiful eyes to look at that young, clear face. Under the sword-shaped brows, his eyes seemed to contain a divine light, like an ancient well or a mysterious pond, making people fall into it.
The beauty was so embarrassed that she couldn't help but narrow her beautiful eyes slightly. Under the willow leaves' thin eyebrows, there was a bit of obsession in her eyes.
Although he... acted a bit nonsense, he was also handsome and handsome. He was indeed a rare handsome man in the world. No wonder the princess and princess in the palace fell in love with him.
To put it bluntly, he was originally the young prince of the Han Dynasty since its founding a hundred years ago.
The beauty was thinking wildly, and after a while, she quickly closed her eyes with a calm expression. Only the earrings on her petite earlobes shone with bright circles of light.
Jia Heng suddenly paused, looking at the banner hanging beside him, and asked in surprise: "Wan'er, this banner is full of beauty and gentleness in its brushwork and structure, but was it written by Wan'er on a regular basis?"
When Li Wan heard this, he felt his heart startled. He opened his beautiful eyes, turned around his bright peach-blossom face, and happened to see the inscription and seal at the end of the calligraphy and painting. The word Jia Zhu jumped into his eyes like a hammer.
It's like a huge stone falling into the lake of the heart, causing a stormy sea.
An indescribable feeling suddenly surged into the beauty's mind.
Why is she being held here by this person?
However, before he could think about it carefully, the continuous turbulence of the river hit him, making Li Wan's heart sway, and he could hardly control himself. He had no time to think about anything.
Li Wan's elegant face was as beautiful as a flower, as red as the clouds, and his slightly trembling voice was soft and smooth. He felt a sense of shame gradually filling his body and mind, and his nose snorted slightly, but he did not answer Jia Heng.
inquiry.
Jia Heng's eyes stagnated for a moment, he lowered his body, looked at the beauty who was sleeping with her eyes closed, and asked: "Wan'er, who wrote these two banners?"
Li Wan really couldn't bear the young man's teasing. He frowned and relaxed at times. He could only open his charming eyes and said intermittently: "It's... it's my husband... handwriting."
Husband, I...I am doing this for Lan'er, don't blame me.
This person also deliberately cheated on her, even though she had a seal on it, he still insisted on asking her?
Fortunately, it stopped suddenly and returned to the same state as before, as if it was intentional just now.
Jia Heng sighed and said: "Wan'er, it's really a pity for Brother Zhu, otherwise our Jia family would have one more civil servant."
As if to match the word "pity", Jia Heng's eyes deepened, his heart fluctuated, and he shook his head and sighed because the Jia family's seed for reading had fallen.
Young woman Hua Xin's beautiful eyes narrowed, but when she heard the young man first calling her Wan'er, and then mentioning Jia Zhu's name, for some reason, an unspeakable feeling of shame and guilt welled up deep in her heart.
Husband, if he sees her being tactful under someone else...will he hide his face under the clouds?
Thinking of this, the young woman Hua Xin suddenly became a little nervous, as if she was worried about that scene.
Palace judge, are you worthy of me?
Jia Heng's eyes stagnated again, and he couldn't help but pause for a moment. He looked at the beauty who frowned and seemed sad, and thought to himself, is this a little too much?
But obviously...
Li Wan took a deep breath at this time, and a thought flashed through his mind.
This painting and calligraphy may not be hung in the study room next time.
But she was also doing it for Lan'er. Lan'er would be with him in the future... Uncle Heng would rely on him, and the road to the imperial examination would be much smoother in the future.
Jia Heng studied the writing on the banner for a moment, then stared at the plump, gentle beauty with bursts of charm on her face. He guessed Li Wan's guilty thoughts and said with relief: "Wan'er, don't blame yourself.
Over the years, you have worked hard to raise Lang Ge'er and cultivate him into a scholar. Even if Brother Zhu knew what happened between you and me, he would still be considerate of Wan'er and not say anything."
"Heng..." Li Wan's delicate body trembled, biting her pink lips with her cherry teeth, and wanted to say angrily, but Qiong snorted, and a strange feeling surged in her heart. Her delicate body trembled non-stop, and her skin was as moist as rose petals.
The red lips were slightly opened, with a little prayer:
"Brother Heng, stop talking..."
Stop mentioning that person, she doesn't think about anything at the moment.
At this time, Jia Heng leaned close to the beauty's ear and whispered: "Wan'er, why don't you call me your husband in private from now on."
Of course, it was limited to this situation, and it was still a normal address at other times. He had always been able to distinguish this.
When Li Wan heard this, his eyebrows furrowed, but his heart trembled, and he suddenly felt an indescribable feeling coming over him.
Husband?
This...she wants to call Brother Heng her husband?
These two words obviously had a strange weight in Li Wan's heart. He was in a daze for a moment and quickly dismissed the random thoughts in his mind.
Jia Heng's expression became condensed and he said softly: "Then why don't Wan'er call Brother Heng?"
In fact, I was a little worried that when Li Wan called her husband, he was thinking of Jia Zhu's face.
Then isn't he the one who suffers? Let's change the name.
Li Wan: "???"
Brother Heng? Let her call Brother Heng like Xiangyun, Tanchun and others? She is not a little girl.
However, at this time, the man seemed to be deliberately trying to manipulate her, and he clearly urged her again.
Li Wan was helpless for a moment, and after squirming for a while, the young man leaned close to him and called out shyly, but the sound was like a mosquito or a fly.
Immediately, he closed his eyes tightly in shame and pretended to be silent.
In the midsummer evening of the 16th year of Chongping, streaks of golden-red sunlight passed through the carved windows and fell quietly on the mahogany bookcase. The gorgeous sunset fell on the beautiful and bright face of the beauty.
Sweat beads rolled down from the temples, soaking the hair with sweat and sticking it to the rosy face. Under the sunlight, it was a little crystal clear.
Jia Heng stretched out his hand and patted it, saying softly: "Wan'er."
"Huh?" Li Wan couldn't help but snorted, and felt a sense of emptiness in his heart. Soon his beautiful cheeks turned red with shame, and he didn't want to talk to Jia Heng. He turned around and gently held the mahogany desk with his delicate hands, feeling a feeling of emptiness in his heart.
shame.
Jia Heng joked: "Wan'er is becoming more conscious now."
From spontaneity to consciousness.
Li Wan's beautiful and charming face was as bright as the clouds, and she lightly pursed her pink lips. She didn't respond to Jia Heng's teasing, and secretly cursed in her heart.
She finally knew that this man just liked to mess with her.
Jia Heng held his slightly plump waist, his face paused slightly, and asked: "Wan'er, do you still remember the first time you came to my Willow Alley?"
When Li Wan, who was walking in the clouds and feeling so out of his mind, heard the words, his willow-shaped eyebrows slightly stretched, his beautiful eyes narrowed, and strands of charming charm overflowed, and scenes from the past could not help but be reflected in his heart.
Back then, that young man in a straight green shirt was gentle and elegant, with a strong character. How could she have thought that one day he would bully her like this?
It made her feel both love and hate, and she was extremely ashamed and annoyed.
Jia Heng said warmly: "At that time, Brother Lang borrowed two books from me, and later Wan'er came over and asked for them back."
The golden hairpin on Li Wanyun's bun kept shaking, and a bright and intoxicating blush appeared on his plump face. He endured the shame and said: "It's only been a few years, Brother Heng is no longer what he was before.
That commoner boy is now the Duke of the country."
When she thought of being bullied by the youngest prince of the Han Dynasty, the beauty's eyes were dazed for a moment, her heart was filled with joy and anger, and she felt a sense of pride that she could not express.
Jia Heng stopped talking and started to hold on.
Li Wan snorted softly, feeling ashamed in his heart. What was even worse was that it seemed that the dead memories began to attack him, and he felt a familiar intention coming over him.
But I don’t know how much time passed.
Li Wan opened his eyes and glanced at the hanging banner. On his beautiful and elegant face, two light and bright blushes appeared, and he buried his head in his chest, too ashamed to take care of himself.
Ah, how could she give her husband that banner to...?
Suddenly, a feeling of guilt surged into the beauty's heart.
At this moment, it was clear that the seal on the banner and the black writing were scattered, leaving a mess.
Jia Heng's face was a little unnatural. He really didn't mean to do this. He really didn't expect Li Wan's scene to reappear. He couldn't help himself and said softly: "It's getting late, so I'm going back."
He suspected that Mr. Cao had returned from Dongfu at this time, and he must be a smart person and did not come over.
I looked up, and I don’t know when, some twilight has been seen outside the window. The summer night is approaching, the heat is gradually disappearing, the lanterns are beginning to turn on, the evening wind is blowing the apricot tree in the courtyard, and it is swaying with the shadow of the lanterns, while the summer frogs
The sound also comes and goes.
Thinking of this, Jia Heng couldn't help but think of his past life, the days when he and his friends would have barbecues around the stove on summer nights. The sound of opening the bottle of Snow Beer mixed with the rising of beer foam, and the sound of "bang" was the sound of heartbreak.
Li Wan hugged the young man's neck and snorted softly, seeming a little heartbroken.
For a moment, there was a bit of reluctance in my heart. I looked at the young man intently and said in a trembling voice: "Brother Heng."
Jia Heng didn't say much, straightened his clothes, and said warmly: "Sister-in-law, I've been busy these days, so I may not have time to come over and talk to sister-in-law."
Li Wan had been suffering for many years, and it was actually more difficult than that of Sister Feng, because Sister Feng was in charge of the personnel in the palace, was decisive in killing, and was dignified and honorable.
Li Wan, on the other hand, seemed to be excluded from the ordinary life of the Jia family and could only wear ugly and old-fashioned clothes.
Li Wan pursed her pink lips, a blush appeared on her plump cheeks, and softly said "hmm".
Now she changed her name and called her naughty sister-in-law? This person is really...
Jia Heng took a handkerchief, his face was calm, and he said softly: "Sister-in-law, wipe your sweat."
In a daze, I couldn't help but think of the four drastic changes in the New Deal and Huo Huo's return to the public.
Li Wan also heard the beads of sweat on his cheeks dripping down his beautiful neck. He felt it was inappropriate, so he secretly cursed and quickly took the veil.
Jia Heng said, picked up the teapot and poured himself a cup of tea, gently blew the tea leaves and foam away, and took a sip to calm down.
Thinking about the situation of the court, today's memorandum on the new policies such as the One-piece Whip Law has been handed over. It is expected that it has caused an uproar in the capital.
Then he glanced at Li Wan and left Daoxiang Village.
Unlike Hengwuyuan, Xiaoxiang Pavilion, Qichiyuan, etc., where there might be Daiyu, Tanchun and others visiting, Daoxiang Village usually doesn't see people coming.
Just as Jia Heng was about to leave the hall, he saw a middle-aged woman with a bun in a bun looking at him with a smile and said, "Uncle Heng."
Jia Heng's eyes became calmer, he looked at Mr. Cao and said, "Aunt Cao."
Mrs. Cao glanced in the direction of Li Wan, then looked at the young man. Seeing his rosy cheeks, she secretly smiled and said softly: "I just came from Xifu. Uncle Heng just came from Wan'er."
Jia Heng nodded and said calmly: "Sister-in-law Xunwan had something to do just now. Is there anything about Aunt Cao?"
Mrs. Cao secretly thought, "As expected of someone who is doing important things outside. He can still not blush when others see him, but he still feels normal."
How could a woman like her touch this guy?
Ms. Cao smiled and said, "It's nothing."
Jia Heng nodded and asked casually: "Where are sisters Wen and Qi?"
He had met Wenqi several times before. In fact, their facial features and aura somewhat resembled Li Wan, just like Lanxi to Qingxue, the youthful version of Li Wan.
"The two of them are reading in the room, and they said they want to eat later." Mrs. Cao looked at the young man, smiled, and said, "Uncle Heng, why don't you finish eating before leaving? The two of them were saying whether they would like to eat or not."
Shaoshu, I want to ask you for advice."
This young man is obviously not a Taoist scholar. It is actually not bad for Wen'er and Qi'er to find such an outstanding husband.
"I can't do it today, let's wait until another day." Jia Heng paused and said softly: "I still have something to do. If Aunt Cao needs something, you can come to the front yard to find me."
With a smile on her face, Mrs. Cao said, "Uncle Heng, walk slowly."
Then he watched the young man go away, smiled softly, and then looked at Li Wan's residence. After thinking about it, he didn't go to check.
Jia Heng left Daoxiang Village. It was dark at the moment. After thinking about it, he turned and went to the front yard and came to the study. At the same time, he ordered his mother to prepare hot water.
