Chapter 1122 Jia Heng: You are...like Kong Rong giving in to pear.
palace garden, inner hall
An eunuch called out: "Your Majesty, the Queen has set up a luncheon in Kunning Palace. Your Majesty is invited to come and have a meal."
Emperor Chongping smiled and said, "Ziyu, come with me to Kunning Palace."
Jia Heng responded softly and said: "Your Majesty, there may be a good show in the imperial prison in Beijing recently."
"A good show?" Emperor Chongping looked surprised and felt a little surprised.
Jia Heng said softly: "The Jurchens have recently sent assassins to rescue Yue Tuo and others."
This is the news he found out with the help of Jinyi Mansion's informants in Liaodong.
Not only Sun Shaozu, but also Calabash Monk Wei Guang, and other Jinyi Mansion spies, there are many sources of evidence to support this.
The Jurchens will send people to rescue Yue Tuo.
Emperor Chongping said: "Yue Tuan has single-handedly disrupted the situation in the northwest. He is indeed a troublesome figure and cannot be left behind to cause harm to our great man."
Jia Heng said: "Don't worry, Your Majesty, I have made full arrangements to capture the rescuers sent by the Jurchens."
Weng and son-in-law said that and hurried to Kunning Palace.
At this moment, Empress Song was conversing with Concubine Duanrong. The beauty Yongmei's face was lightly covered with powder, her beautiful eyes were sparkling, and her lips were as moist as water.
"Empress, Your Majesty and Duke Wei are here." Xia Shouzhong, the manager of the Sixth Palace, came from a short distance away, his fair face full of smiles.
Empress Song nodded and followed the sound, only to see Emperor Chongping leading Jia Heng. The beauty's beautiful face moved slightly, and she came forward with a smile and said, "I have met your Majesty."
Jia Heng also saluted Empress Song and said, "I have seen the Queen and Concubine Rong."
Empress Song said with a smile: "Zi Yu, please get up quickly. We are all one family, so there is no need for so many courtesy."
Concubine Duanrong looked at the young man, with a hint of gentleness in her beautiful eyes.
Emperor Chongping said: "Today I went to the Ancestral Temple to worship the following ancestors. The sixteenth year of Chongping will pass in two or three months. Many things, big and small, have happened in this year."
Empress Song said: "Your Majesty, now that the Haiyan River is clear, Your Majesty can have a good rest for a while."
Emperor Chongping nodded and said with emotion: "Yes."
Empress Song turned to look at Jia Heng and said warmly: "Zi Yu, I heard that the Qin family has given birth."
Jia Heng said: "Yesterday when my class teacher returned to Beijing, he gave birth to a child, and gave birth to a daughter to Wei Chen."
"That's really a double happiness." Empress Song smiled softly. When she heard the word "daughter", her beautiful eyes flashed, and her bright hibiscus jade face was full of smiles and she said softly.
Concubine Duanrong paused slightly and said softly: "Confinement is a big deal, so you have to pay careful attention to it."
Give birth to a daughter? That is still a good thing, but the people in Xianning didn't care much about the title of Duke Wei.
Xianning has been here for so long, so he must have given birth to a son.
Jia Heng said softly: "I have sent my grandma to take care of her these past few days, and I don't have much experience."
Emperor Chongping listened to Empress Song, Concubine Duanrong and Jia Heng talking about the shortcomings of these parents. He didn't have much interest for a while. He took a sip of tea and asked: "Ziyu, Shuirong, over there, send troops to Jilong Mountain."
Jia Heng said softly: "I think that now that sea trade is booming, as the sages have said, there will be no stability without agriculture and no prosperity without business. The court should use sea trade as the tax base, and the taxes collected can be transferred to local officials."
, it can also reduce the number of local governments using clever excuses to exploit people with exorbitant taxes and miscellaneous taxes."
If we want to replace the exploitation of the people by the land tax, we must open up new tax sources, otherwise there will be all kinds of chaos in the local government.
Emperor Chongping said: "What Ziyu said is true."
At this time, an eunuch from the outside entered the palace and said in a sharp voice: "Your Majesty, Prince Liang and the Eighth Prince are here."
Queen Song smiled and said: "Your Majesty, Wei'er and Ze'er are here."
After a while, Liang Wang Chen Wei and the eighth prince Chen Ze came from outside, followed by several eunuchs and nuns.
"My son, I have met my father, my mother, and my concubine Rong." Liang Wang Chen Wei, dressed in a purple-green python robe with a tall figure, walked into the hall and saluted the Queen of Song Dynasty, saying softly.
With a smile on his face, Chen Ze called out: "My son, I have met my mother and my concubine."
Seeing Chen Ze, Emperor Chongping showed kindness on his face and said, "Ze'er, what have you learned from your husband in the school recently?"
Chen Ze is now ten years old.
Liang Wang Chen Wei raised his eyes to look at the young man, with a sinister look in his eyes that had an inexplicable meaning, and said: "The Duke of Wei is here too."
Jia Heng nodded, cupped his hands and said, "His Royal Highness, Prince Liang."
Emperor Chongping answered from the side and said: "Chen Wei is currently overseeing the administration of the Ministry of Punishment and has recently learned a lot of criminal regulations."
Jia Heng said: "The Ministry of Punishment is a good place to train people. If you know the strictness of the law, you will be able to share the worries of the Holy One in the future."
"I also believe this." Emperor Chongping smiled lightly and said.
Chen Wei couldn't help but feel a little bored when he heard what the young man said.
This man was obviously younger than me, but he spoke in an old-fashioned way.
Emperor Chongping said: "Zi Yu said earlier that there have been corresponding arrangements for the Liaodong Jurchens who robbed the prison?"
Jia Heng said: "We have sent people to make arrangements. There should be news from the Holy Master and others."
The King of Liang took a look at Jia Heng and said, "Duke Wei, I heard that Shuo Tuo is dead? Maybe it was Duke Wei who did it secretly."
Jia Heng said: "His Royal Highness, Prince Liang, Shuo Tuo has said that this person is brave and good at fighting. If he is released, he will definitely become a tiger and cause trouble. We can only get rid of him through tactics."
King Liang nodded and said: "The Spring and Autumn Annals say that when two countries are at war, the envoys will not be killed."
Jia Heng said: "Xiang Gong restored the vengeance of the ninth generation, which was great in the Spring and Autumn Period. Now the thieves and barbarians have repeatedly invaded our border. Now that the tiger has returned to the mountains, I don't know how many border people will be slaughtered by them. Moreover, what the King of Liang said is wrong. The Jurchen clan is the world's most powerful."
It is difficult to describe a country for the sake of establishing a slave. I remember His Highness Xianning mentioned this matter before."
King Liang's expression changed slightly and he was speechless for a moment.
The Empress of Song Dynasty, with her snow-skinned face covered with frost, scolded her softly: "Wei'er, you have little talent and little knowledge, so don't talk nonsense."
All right, why does Wei'er have to argue with Ziyu?
There was a look of fear on King Liang's face and he quickly said: "Mother."
Emperor Chongping frowned and said: "I usually ask you to study more, but you don't listen and you insist on making mistakes."
Chen Ze watched with interest, a smile appeared on his little face, and said: "My brother-in-law is a military commander, but he also seems to have done a lot of research on these classics. It's just that what my brother-in-law said is very interesting to me."
."
Jia Heng looked at Chen Ze with a smile and said softly: "If it weren't for serving the country with military merit, I would have taken the imperial examination to become an official."
Emperor Chongping said: "Zitong, please let someone pass on lunch."
Empress Song chuckled and said, "Your Majesty, I have sent someone to pass on the meal."
Not to mention that Jia Heng dined with Emperor Chongping and Queen Song in Kunning Palace.
However, it is said that after Yue Tuo and Dorji were led to the Imperial Ancestral Temple as prisoners, they were taken to the imperial prison of Jinyi Mansion.
The prison car drove through the alley at the southeast corner of Dexing Street. Suddenly, in front of the restaurant facing the street, a dealer carrying various wine jars and two woodcutters pushing two cars were arguing.
Shang Ming, the commander of Qianhu, who was riding on the horse, narrowed his eyes under the wingless crown and said in a cold voice: "Go and see what happened and drive them away."
These people in front of me are probably the villains the governor mentioned.
At this moment, the wine jar was thrown to the ground, making a "bang" sound. Immediately, several people who were arguing overturned the cart and rushed towards the surrounding prison car.
Suddenly, twenty or thirty assassins with their faces covered in black scarves and armed with various swords and guns came out and headed towards the prison van.
Shang Ming sneered and said: "Assassin, catch the assassin!"
And these twenty or thirty big men with black turbans, strong and brave, armed with steel knives, would kill the enemy with one blow. There was only a popping sound, and blood dripped down.
Several big men just rushed forward, made a "click" sound, struggled to cut the lock, and said: "Prince Cheng, we are here to rescue you."
Then, just as Yue Tuan cut off the shackles and was about to untie the rope with disheveled hair, suddenly, a cold light dazzled his eyes and pierced his heart.
"Pfft!" The masked man in black felt a pain in his heart, his eyes widened and he looked at the sharp eyes under his disheveled hair.
The masked man in black whispered: "You...you are not Prince Cheng."
Qu Lang snorted coldly and said, "Go downstairs and accompany him!"
"Clang!"
I don't know who knocked the gong, and for a while, many officers, soldiers and Jinyifu guards poured out on the streets in all directions.
At this moment, all the imperial guards held crossbows in their hands and shot towards the assassins with a "whoosh".
Many men in black, who were strong and strong, and used knives fiercely, groaned a few times and then fell into a pool of blood.
The plan to kidnap Yue Tuan and flee north ended with more than thirty bodies left behind.
In the palace garden——
Jia Heng and Emperor Chongping had already finished lunch, and the two of them got up and were about to go to the inner study.
At this moment, Dai Quan came under the eaves of the corridor and heard a whisper from an inner prisoner. His face changed, and he immediately came to the palace and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, there is an ambush over there in Jinyi Mansion and they want to hijack the prison car and rescue Yue Tuo."
All the Jurchens have been killed."
Emperor Chongping said: "Yue Tuan is a cunning person among the Jurchen vassal kings, and he must not be let go."
After this period of understanding, Emperor Chongping already knew that among the Jurchen princes, the two princes Yue Tuo and Duduo were both resourceful, brave and capable powerful vassals, similar to the Jurchen four beams and eight pillars.
Now there is no doubt that another pillar has been broken.
Weng and son-in-law said that and went to the inner study.
Jia Heng looked at the middle-aged emperor and said: "Father, I should take the initiative to attack next year. From Tianjin Guards, coordinate the Denglai Navy, attack North Korea, and cut off Jurchen's arm."
Emperor Chongping said: "Take the initiative?"
Jia Heng said: "The imperial court will implement a new law next year. It is not appropriate to start a major war in the short term. However, the navy is independent. If everything goes well in pacifying Jilong Mountain this winter, the navy can be transferred north to invade North Korea. The former North Korean navy will lead the way.
, it will save me a lot of effort."
Emperor Chongping thought for a moment and asked, "What about the Western Regions and Tibet?"
Jia Heng said: "Looking at the changes in the situation, if the time to recover the two places is more suitable, then there is nothing wrong with starting it first."
Emperor Chongping nodded and said: "The Beijing camp has not been defeated for a long time, and its troops need to be slowly replenished. It would be best if the navy can make achievements."
Jia Heng said: "Father, now is the time for our government to take the initiative."
Emperor Chongping said: "It's good if you have such ambition, don't indulge in a gentle land."
Jia Heng's face looked slightly unnatural, but it was hard to explain.
Jia Heng and Emperor Chongping discussed the planning steps for sending troops to Korea for a while, then left and returned to Ningguo Mansion.
…
…
Ningguo Mansion, outer study room
As soon as Jia Heng entered the study room, he was immediately greeted by the sharp gaze of the delicate and delicate girl.
Chen Xiao said: "Jinyi Mansion arrested two of them and committed suicide by taking poison before reaching the official office. These people sent here are all dead soldiers. They committed suicide after missing a single hit."
Jia Heng picked up the teapot, poured himself a cup of tea, and said, "If nothing can be found from the interrogation, is Yue Tuo dead?"
"It has been executed in secret." Chen Xiao said softly, picked up the tea that Jia Heng had poured, took a sip, and said, "Chen Yuan has been in Beijing again recently."
Jia Heng had no choice but to pour another cup of tea and said, "What is he doing in Beijing?"
Chen Xiao said: "I don't know what conspiracy is going on."
Jia Heng thought for a while and asked, "Can you still contact him here?"
Chen Xiao shook his head and said: "He doesn't trust me at all now, but he still exchanges some information."
Jia Heng took a sip of tea and said, "Can you trick him into coming out and then arrest him?"
Chen Xiao shook his head and said: "He doesn't trust me now. You proposed marriage in Chonghua Palace before, and now the information has probably reached his ears."
What Chen Yuan did was in line with her interests to a certain extent. Only through chaos can we get something out of the fire.
Chen Xiao suppressed his thoughts and asked, "When will you go south?"
Jia Heng said: "Just these ten days."
He was in Beijing to accompany Ke Qing, and to finish the concubine ceremony for Third Sister You. If there was nothing else to do, he could go south.
After talking to Chen Xiao for a while, Jia Heng came out of the study and came to the backyard with a rare leisurely look. He was about to go to Xifu to see the mandarin ducks. However, not far away, he raised his eyes and saw a man in pink at the corner of the corridor.
The beauty in the dress walked over and saw that it was Second Sister You.
When she saw Jia Heng, Second Sister You lowered her head, her face turned red for some reason, and she called out shyly, "Uncle."
Jia Heng looked at the girl and asked curiously: "Where are you going, second sister?"
Second Sister You lowered her eyebrows and said softly: "I am just going to the garden to have a look. I don't usually go there much."
Because Chai Dai and other girls live in the garden, Second Sister You usually lives in the back house of Ningguo Mansion. Although she is delighted with the scenery in the garden, she rarely has the opportunity to take a look. She just waits for the beauty of the garden.
I got the opportunity when I left Beijing and went south.
Jia Heng smiled and said: "Isn't it usually possible to enter and play? Second sister has never been there?"
As he said that, he couldn't help but recall something that Third Sister You brought up last night, and said softly: "Second Sister, I just have something to do at Qichi Yuan, so let's go there together."
Second Sister You's cheeks flushed with shame, she said "Hmm" as loudly as a mosquito, and then followed Jia Heng from Hui Fang Garden to the Grand View Garden.
The two of them walked slowly along the gravel path toward the garden. It was late autumn, and the trees were withering, creating a bleak and desolate scene.
Jia Heng said: "All the sisters have gone south, but the garden is deserted. Isn't there usually no one taking care of it?"
"Someone is taking care of it. It rained again two days ago and the weeds grew like crazy." Second Sister You said softly, and when she had nothing to say, she asked: "Brother Heng, aren't they coming back for the New Year?"
"It's hard to say now. I'll wait for a while and go south to run an errand." Jia Heng said warmly.
Second Sister You said in surprise: "Brother Heng wants to leave? Sister Qin is confinement at home."
Jia Heng was silent for a moment and said: "It's official business for the imperial court to go south. I should be able to come over after the Chinese New Year."
The problem is that there are three more people who are going to the south for confinement. Why should he go there and take a look?
Second Sister You responded softly, and didn't say much else. She lowered her head slightly, moved lightly on her lotus steps, and silently followed Jia Heng's steps.
The two of them walked along the stone path to Qichiyuan, entered the hall and sat down.
Jia Heng turned to look at Second Sister You, smiled and said, "In a few days, Third Sister and I will get married."
It has to be said that when it comes to appearance, Second Sister You does have the beauty of the Twelve Hairpins, but her background and background are a bit more complicated.
Second Sister You had complicated thoughts. When she raised her eyes, she quickly lowered her eyes and said softly: "Third Sister told me."
Jia Heng looked at Second Sister You, who was still a little shy, and said, "Third Sister also told me."
Second Sister You: “…”
She stared with beautiful eyes, raised her eyes to look at the young man, but felt that her bare hand was being held up, her delicate body trembled slightly, she lowered her head and said shyly: "Uncle Heng."
Jia Heng looked at Sister You and asked, "You have been here for two or three years, right."
"Hmm." A blush appeared on Sister You's bright cheeks, and worry surged in her heart.
"Do you have someone you like in this house?" Jia Heng held the girl's slender hand and felt the soft touch of the skin. Compared to the fierceness of Third Sister You, Second Sister You is quieter, much shyer, and even a little silly.
Sweet, has a scum-sucking physique that can't be found after being deceived.
As the original work says, flowers are the intestines and snow is the skin.
Second Sister You: “???”
No, you hold my hand and tell me this?
Second Sister You was slightly ashamed. She bit her pink lips and muttered, "Brother Heng, I follow Sister Qin's orders."
Jia Heng asked with great interest: "What did your sister Qin give you?"
Second Sister You's cheeks were as hot as fire, her voice trembled slightly, she felt her heart pounding in her throat, and said: "She said that Uncle Heng and Qian'er are still in need of someone to serve, so Third Sister and I will serve him...serve him."
Uncle Heng."
At the end of the sentence, the soft and shy voice gradually faded away.
Jia Heng said softly: "You must have gotten used to it after staying in Ningguo Mansion for so long. It would be better to come with your third sister. It will be cheaper to travel there."
Second Sister You and Third Sister You have been with Ke Qing for so long. In fact, they are somewhat similar to the maids that Ke Qing used to keep his favor.
When Second Sister You heard this, her heart was filled with joy. She held the young man's hand tightly and looked with her beautiful watery eyes, only to see the young man coming closer, with waves of warm and soft breath hitting his face.
Sister You was flustered for a while, and she quickly closed her eyelashes. For a moment, she felt a palpitation-inducing touch, and she felt her mind tremble, and she gradually became trance-like.
In the two years since I stayed at home, I have secretly looked at Third Sister and him so many times. Is she what she is today?
That kind of heart palpitations and excitement almost made Second Sister You intoxicated. Her already pretty and charming face was as red as the clouds and glowing with beauty.
Jia Heng gently held Sister You's hand, raised his eyes to look at the beautiful girl, and said warmly: "It will be long in the future, you don't have to be shy in front of me."
"Yeah." Second Sister You responded happily.
Jia Heng gently put his arms around the beauty's shoulders and asked, "Actually, many people in the house regard you as my concubine, right?"
Second Sister You said shyly and timidly: "There are some people in the house who think like this, and Third Sister and I...it turns out that we also think like this."
Since she and Sanmei entered the Ningguo Mansion, they have become the uncle's people.
Jia Heng smiled and joked: "When did you think about it?"
Hearing this, Second Sister You lowered her pretty head and said in a delicate voice: "Sihai Restaurant."
Jia Heng: "???"
"That's when we first met." Second Sister You's voice was already so soft that it was unnoticeable. Well, fortunately, Jia Heng's hearing was comparable to that of a great martial arts master.
Jia Heng said in surprise: "Are you earlier than the third sister?"
Second sister You said shyly, "Yeah", licked her pink lips, and whispered: "Three sisters like it, but I'm not good either..."
Jia Heng nodded and said: "You are... like Kong Rong giving in to pear."
Second Sister You said "Yeah" and said with a hint of embarrassment or anger: "Uncle Heng."
The girl was originally beautiful, but now she was slightly angry but not angry, and she had an unusual aura.
After all, she is the Twelve Hairpins of Jinling. In fact, there is no need to doubt her appearance.
Jia Heng took Second Sister You's bare hand and said warmly: "I usually don't have much time at home, so I may not be able to take care of you. I'd like to trouble you and Third Sister to take care of you at home."
Second Sister You, under her willow-leaf slender eyebrows, looked at the young man with her beautiful eyes like water, and said softly: "Uncle, it's hard to fight outside. We all know that it's right to help take care of him."
Jia Heng said warmly: "Second sister, it's cold here. Let's go inside and talk. I happen to be tired too."
Under Sister You's slender eyebrows, her beautiful jade cheeks were as red as a blush. As Jia Heng came to the inner compartment, her heart could not help but beat loudly along the way.
Although I had already made preparations, I still felt a little uneasy.
"Today I am going to the Ancestral Temple to present prisoners. I have been very tired from all the journeys. Please rub my shoulders so that the two of us can talk." Jia Heng patted his shoulders and said warmly: "Okay?"
In fact, he really didn't want to take advantage of the situation and ask for Sister You. He was really tired now and wanted to find someone to rub his shoulders.
Second Sister You said quickly: "Uncle Heng, I can do it."
In fact, she doesn't know how to do it, and has never served anyone before, but she can learn.
Jia Heng said "hmm" softly, then lay down on the bed and asked Sister You to massage her shoulders and back to relax her meridians and activate her meridians.
A man's happiness, massage and wash his feet... attack the kidney reflex area.
I'm a little stuck. I might need to sort out my thoughts. Don't wait for the update and go to bed early.
