Chapter 1180 Emperor Chongping: Mother, wait a minute!
Jinling, Ningguofu
In the wing room, on the bed with the curtains hung with gold hooks, the warm sunlight in the winter afternoon shines on the high table furnishings.
Jia Heng stroked Baochai's shoulder and whispered: "Actually, it's not impossible to propose again."
In fact, his contribution to going south was not only to recover Taiwan, but also to supervise the New Deal. The former was promoted to a military title, and the latter was promoted to an official position.
If Emperor Chongping granted him a post as a gift, it would be natural for him to take advantage of the situation and ask for a wedding hairpin.
As for Xiaoxiao, she accompanied him from the northwest to the sea, through life and death, eating and sleeping in the open air. In fact, there was nothing wrong with the marriage granted by Emperor Chongping.
Because Baochai is the daughter of a merchant after all, and Emperor Chongping granted him a marriage to the daughter of a merchant, in the eyes of outsiders, is it a sign of deep love or an insult?
In fact, this does not even mention that Baochai also has a famous brother who is in jail for allowing evil slaves to beat people to death. In addition, Baochai also has a mother with a conspicuous appearance.
Could it be that the next time he performs meritorious service, Emperor Chongping will marry a maid in the Ning and Rong mansions and marry Jia Heng? This is completely inappropriate.
On the contrary, it was Jia Heng who first proposed marriage to Baochai and fell into the eyes of the emperor, so he had the intention to treat the daughter of the Chen family clan poorly. He previously said that he was in love with Princess Le'an, but in the end he didn't rush to propose to the emperor?
In terms of age, Princess Le'an is more eager, right?
In other words, although it was a trick of fate, to a certain extent, Emperor Chongping's marriage to Chen Xiao, the daughter of the former Zhou king, to show the filial piety of the heavenly family, was exactly the inevitable development path of objective facts.
To propose to Baochai first and let Chen Xiao wait, it can only be regarded as Jia Heng's personal subjective wish, and Chen Xiao doesn't care much about these statuses.
Unless Jia Heng made it clear to Emperor Chongping in advance and made a strong request.
However, it was indeed delayed because of Empress Song's affairs, and I didn't have time to go to court. I, Jia Heng, can't give Baochai a marriage this time because I won't be rewarded for my merits.
For example, if Emperor Chongping discussed the matter of ennoblement, it would not be possible for Jia Heng to take advantage of the situation and invite him.
The etiquette process of the imperial dynasty was like this. Emperor Chongping should have issued an edict to consult, and then Jia Heng said that the Holy Emperor had been favored by the emperor, and he had no extravagant request for rewards, but only a marriage...Bara Bala.
Who knew that Emperor Chongping would behead him first and then memorialize him?
Well, the subject of this idiom is wrong.
Jia Heng stared at the beauty with pear blossoms and rain, feeling a little pity in his heart.
In this matter, Baochai did have some hints of bad luck, and he really had no intention of trying to mess with Baochai's mentality.
He also said, why does he have Baochai's mentality? If Xianning, Chanyue and Yaruo are included in the marriage, this is Baochai's third time.
He also felt a little pity for this young girl who had come from humble beginnings.
Under Baochai's Cuiyu beautiful eyebrows, her moist apricot eyes were full of waves. She stared at the boy in the python suit and said firmly: "Brother Heng, I'll be fine. When the Chinese New Year comes, Brother Heng will just accept me."
She no longer hopes for a marriage or a wife.
Just pass as a concubine.
If I use the word "posterity" to describe it, it would probably be numb...
Jia Heng put his arms around Baochai's shoulders and said softly: "Sister Xue, let's settle the status of you and Sister Lin together this time. I'll go to Shu first and explain the matter so that the palace can have an idea."
, there will be twists and turns in the future."
It also gave Baochai and Daiyu a status.
There will be no war in the world next year, and the two of them are getting older. It is impossible to keep them waiting, just like the emperor recounts the merits of the New Deal and then comes to ask for Chai Dai's hand.
If Empress Song lets Song Yan "jump in line" again, Baochai may turn black on the spot.
After all, it was paid in error.
But before that, the Supreme Emperor in Shenjing should not let anything happen to him. If something happens, he will have to bear the baptism of a political storm and deal with the matter with all his strength. The marriage grant is not appropriate and can only be postponed temporarily.
Moreover, once there is a national funeral, there will be no weddings or funerals for a period of time.
This... Baochai's mentality is probably going to collapse.
After the assassination of Empress Song, the emperor should be more vigilant about evil things in the palace. He can't just fall into the trap three times in a row.
Hearing this, Baochai turned around, her face as white as a pear blossom, and said softly: "Brother Heng, don't take risks in the court for me. It won't be good if others tell you the truth."
Jia Heng's face paused slightly, and he stared at Baochai and said softly: "Sister Xue, in fact, for the military merits of going south this time, there is no title. If the other New Deal supervisors have merits, if the palace is awarded with titles because of their merits, I will
Just accept the words. Since the 16th year of Chongping, I have been promoted to higher and higher positions. I know that I am too ungrateful for my poor moral character, so I only asked the two daughters of Xue Lin to grant me a marriage and a royal decree. This is all a matter of course."
In fact, this kind of conferral of wives and concubines actually used the sanctity of imperial power to a certain extent to blur the status of wives and concubines. In essence, they did not clearly specify which house was like Xianning and Chanyue.
Hearing this, Baochai blinked her moist almond-shaped eyes, and a little hope arose in her heart, and said softly: "Brother Heng, how will the palace view Brother Heng? Is there any suspicion of taking credit for this matter?"
Jia Heng sighed and said, "Don't worry, sister Xue. There are some things that I can't make the decision for, so I can only let the palace arrange them, but there are still some things that I can make the decision for myself."
In fact, the plan was disrupted this time, which also caught him a little off guard.
He couldn't make the final decision on the marriage, but he could always make the final decision on who would marry the prince's concubine.
In fact, compensation can only be said when a debt is owed.
If Song Yan is to be granted a marriage in the future, she will definitely occupy the position of concubine. Between Chai Dai and Song Yan, the last one will be Zhen...
Princesses and princesses basically do not occupy the quota.
Of course, before that, Mrs. Gaoming still needs to be granted the title.
When Baochai heard this, his heart was shaken, his moist almond eyes seemed to be filled with tears, and he whispered: "Brother Heng, don't worry about this, I'm fine."
As the girl spoke, she nestled her lush-haired head in Jia Heng's arms, and the sides of her plump face filled with tears returned to a bit of rosy red.
No matter what, she believed in him.
Jia Heng said: "My aunt will probably be very sad when she finds out about this. I will write a letter to her later."
As the saying goes, ten birds in the forest are worse than one in the hand. Aunt Xue must have had high expectations, but this time she failed again.
At this moment, Bao Qin looked outside at the two people cuddling together in the room. Seeing this scene, she secretly felt relieved.
It seems that my sister's life is really not good, and something unexpected happened this time.
Jia Heng stretched out his hand to comfort Baochai for a while, and then walked out of the hall in silence. At this moment, the winter sunshine was not dazzling, and it shone warmly on the body. As far as the eye could see, the snow in the courtyard covered the rugged rockery, which was delicate and clean.
Bright.
Jia Heng took a deep breath and planned to go to Daiyu's courtyard to look for Daiyu.
However, as soon as I walked along the corridor and passed through the doorway, I happened to see Sister Feng in a colorful dress at the end of the corridor, and my eyes couldn't help but light up.
This purple coat and skirt really brings out the beauty of Sister Feng, especially under the willow eyebrows, the red and phoenix eyes seem to be smiling but not smiling, and Feng Lazi is right in front of her.
Sister Feng looked at the boy in the python suit with her charming red phoenix eyes, and asked with concern: "How is Sister Xue?"
Jia Heng sighed and said, "There's nothing else going on."
Sister Feng frowned and looked at the young man with some sympathy. She walked to the side room and sat down with her legs crossed.
Next to him, Ping'er stood at the door, watching the wind for the two of them.
Sister Feng's beautiful face showed emotion at the same time and said: "So many people are asking for a royal decree. It's not easy to handle. Who should be given it and who should not be given it? But Sister Xue is getting older. It's time to make a decision for life and stay out.
In people’s eyes, they don’t know how to laugh at you.”
Although she didn't think there was anything wrong with the palace granting marriage to any princess first.
It's still the fault of the Xue family for letting the news out in advance, causing everyone in the garden to watch. Now that they have no clue, they are making a joke.
Jia Heng took the beauty's hand, hugged her in his arms, felt the plumpness, and whispered: "Yes, the credit is not enough."
It’s not just that the credit is not enough.
Sister Feng's cheeks turned red with embarrassment, feeling the "missing" behind her coat and skirt. The beauty's delicate body softened into mud, and she collapsed in the boy's arms, and said in a trembling voice: "Brother Heng."
Jia Heng said softly: "Sister-in-law Feng, do you miss me?"
Sister Feng didn't reply, she just snuggled into the young man's arms happily, rubbing her ears and temples with him. Her charming eyes showed a glistening attachment, and she said softly: "Brother Heng, aren't you worried about my status?"
?”
Jia Heng hugged the young woman Hua Xin and did not answer directly. Instead, he whispered: "Keep your voice down so that no one can hear her."
"Please be quiet now, on the bed..." Sister Feng raised her eyebrows, her cheeks were as bright as fire, and she spat lightly.
She was so obsessed with him that she said all sorts of naughty things to him.
At this moment, the conversation between the two had the intimacy of a normal conversation between a couple.
Jia Heng hugged the plump-waisted beauty, pulled her shoulders, and brought her lips to Sister Feng's lips. Before she could get closer, the beauty had already closed her eyes and came closer and put her arms around his neck.
Jia Heng was also a little helpless. He pursed his pink lips and felt a sweet breath.
Sister Feng was slightly delicate, her cheeks were as red as blood, and her beautiful crystal eyes were full of obsession. She said softly: "You are a heartless person. You are fighting outside, and you don't know how to write a letter home to say you are safe."
Jia Heng gently hugged the beauty and sat down in the study room. The fragrance of plump flesh floated between his nose and penetrated into the skirt of his clothes. The plumpness overflowed between his palms and fingers. He whispered: "In the army, the war is urgent. Some
I don’t care, Sister-in-law Feng, how are you doing at home recently?"
Sister Feng allowed the young man to warm his hands on her heart and said in a trembling voice, "Everything is fine."
Jia Heng said: "That's good. Sister-in-law Feng has been working hard during this period...she is busy up and down, busy in front and back."
Sister Feng's cheeks were as hot as fire. She pressed the young man's hand with her delicate hands and said angrily: "It's not even night yet."
Really, do you really miss her that much?
Jia Heng nodded and said warmly: "Sister-in-law Feng will go back to the room first. I'll go see Sister Lin later."
Just now, Daiyu's output was the most powerful.
Sister Feng: "..."
Is this what she means? Can’t you just talk to her about yourself? There’s nothing else but on the bed, right?
Why is this person like this?
Jia Heng looked at the young woman from Huaxin, who had a rosy face and was a little angry. He put her lips on the beauty's pink lips and pinched two pieces of pink again.
Sister Feng's Danfeng eyes were gently closed, and red haze floated on the snow-white skin of her melon-seed face, letting the young man do whatever he wanted.
Jia Heng looked at the young woman Hua Xin who was still a little reluctant to leave, and said: "Okay, Sister-in-law Feng, Sister Lin and the others are waiting now. I have to go see her, and Miaoyu, how are you doing lately?"
Although Sister Feng had some unfinished thoughts in her heart, she also knew that business was important and said in a low voice: "I have been raising a baby recently, so I usually have nothing to do."
Jia Heng thought for a moment and said, "Sister-in-law Feng, I'll go see her later and come back to you in the evening to ask about what's going on in the house during this time."
Sister Feng said softly, "Yeah", somewhat reluctantly.
While Jia Heng was talking, he got up and went to the wing where Daiyu lived.
A trace of sadness appeared on Sister Feng's beautiful face. She looked at the departing figure, her mist-filled phoenix eyes full of resentment.
Ping'er came in quietly, with a red face, and whispered: "Grandma, are you going back now or are you here?"
"Go back and ask the chef to cook some good food, and I'll entertain him." Sister Feng snorted softly, straightened her clothes, and then looked at Ping'er aside and said softly: "When you go back, you should also dress up well.
"
Now it's hard for her to keep this enemy alone.
Hearing this, Ping'er's heart skipped a beat, her cheeks turned as red as a blush, and she said "hmm" as loudly as a mosquito.
In the side room and the blue gauze cupboard, the charcoal fire was blazing, making the interior warm and cozy, while the aromatic scent in the room drove away other smells in the room.
Daiyu raised her head and looked intently at the young man coming from behind the screen, her bright starry eyes like rolling dew, then she pursed her pink lips, turned and walked towards the inner room.
Jia Heng called softly and said: "Sister Lin."
While talking, he also entered the inner compartment, looked at the girl, took Su's hand, and said, "What's wrong?"
Daiyu's smoky eyebrows seemed to be shrouded in a gloomy color, and her starry eyes were as full as water. She said in a clear voice: "Sister Bao, is she okay?"
Jia Heng said: "Now that the whole story is explained, things will feel much better now."
Daiyu sighed quietly, her pretty face full of sadness, and said: "Why is it so tortuous?"
Jia Heng looked at the girl with crooked eyebrows and sparkling bright eyes, and sighed: "It can be said that good things take their toll."
As in the original work, I'm afraid your marriage will be more tortuous, and the initiator of this is Baochai and the Xue family behind it.
With that said, he came and sat in front of Daiyu, and took the girl's delicate hand. After this year, Daiyu was one year older, reaching the age of hairpins, with crimson pearls and fairy grass standing tall and graceful, and the soft and graceful charm between the willow eyebrows and starry eyes became more and more beautiful.
See bright.
Well, more than half of them are purely natural and cultivated by him.
"If you wait a little longer, it won't be too late to celebrate the New Year." Jia Heng said in a low voice.
Daiyu said softly, "Hmm", and the girl leaned her cloud-haired head against Jia Heng's arms. A faint color appeared on her beautiful face and snowy skin, and she said in a clear voice: "Brother Heng is going outside this time.
Are you tired?"
He has been away fighting in the past two years, and sometimes he doesn't know what's going on in the inner house, or the pressure Sister Bao is under in the inner house.
Jia Heng said: "It's okay."
Daiyu looked at the young man with eyes as bright as water, and whispered: "I heard from Sister Chanyue that Brother Heng went to Taihu to save the Queen after the war. Fortunately, there was no danger along the way."
If something happens to the Queen, I'm afraid that no amount of credit from Brother Heng can offset this fault.
It's understandable that I neglected to ask for a royal seal for a while.
Jia Heng said warmly: "Yes, something almost happened in the middle."
Thinking of the danger in the cave, if he really did not find Empress Song, his life would really be in danger. No matter how much he accomplished at that time, it could not offset the omissions that killed the mother of a country at the hands of bandits.
After all, Hauge led his troops to attack Hangzhou, and Empress Song went to Taihu to avoid the chaos.
Daiyu's eyes were full of concern and she said softly: "Brother Heng, there is no blame in the palace."
"Nothing happened, so there should be no blame." Jia Heng held the girl's slender hair and said softly: "Besides, this marriage itself is also meant to appease, and it seems a bit hasty. It seems that someone appeared in the capital.
Many impeachment memorials were written, and the emperor used this to quell the unrest in the court."
This may be the reason why the emperor suddenly issued the edict, without giving him any time to arrange it, and it gave him a sense of déjà vu with the force of thunder.
Fortunately, this is a marriage decree and nothing else.
Otherwise, it's really like, what are you doing? I'm here for a meeting...
Therefore, this struggle is really not a treat. He has been away from Shenjing for too long, and the trends in the capital are a little unclear. This means that he cannot leave the center of power for a long time.
As a result, the authority of the Jinyi Mansion cannot be delegated to others, and the previous idea of "keeping a low profile" seems to be out of the question.
On the pyramid of power, it is like sailing against the current. If you don't advance, you will retreat.
At this moment, I don’t know if Jingzhong has received his warning message.
Daiyu's beautiful eyebrows furrowed, her starry eyes flashed, and she said softly: "No wonder the marriage in the palace is so hasty."
Jia Heng said softly: "You should also advise your sister Bao more. After a while, after supervising and supervising the new policy, I can propose to you and sister Xue. The memorial will be delivered in the next two days."
The Four New Deals, which are designed to gain the prestige of civil servants all over the world, are most appropriate to be used to also gain access to Chai Dai in order to protect themselves from corruption.
As Jia Heng spoke, he took Daiyu's bare hand and said softly: "Sister Lin, okay, let's not talk about this for now."
Daiyu's starry eyes were full of water and she said softly: "Dad was also asking me a few days ago when Brother Heng would be back."
Jia Heng said: "When I see my uncle tomorrow, I can ask about the customs."
Daiyu said softly "Hmm" and leaned her head in Jia Heng's arms, with a look of tranquility on her face.
…
…
Shenjing City, Daming Palace, inner study room
After writing the case, Emperor Chongping looked at the memorials handed over on top of the cases. His expression was silent for a long time, and then he slowly said: "Old Taigong of the Song Dynasty has been loyal to the country throughout his life. He informed the cabinet that he has recently handed it over to the Ministry of Rites to decide on a posthumous title in recognition of his merits.
"
"Yes, Your Majesty." Dai Quan said yes with his hands raised.
There was a hint of sadness on Emperor Chongping's face, and a hint of nostalgia in his eyes.
The old lady of Song Dynasty helped him a lot in winning the big position.
Nowadays, the old people who lived in the Longzhi Dynasty are gradually withering away. From now on, the beautiful mountains and rivers have lost a lot of their splendor.
"Jinyi Mansion has sent a letter from Fei Ge." At this time, an eunuch slowly came in from the outside and whispered.
Emperor Chongping took the note, read the words on it, his expression suddenly changed, and he said in a deep voice: "Is the Supreme Emperor in danger?"
As he spoke, his heart was startled, and he immediately felt a sense of urgency. He looked at Dai Quan with oppressive dragon eyes and said coldly: "Dai Quan, immediately lead the internal guards and follow me to Chonghua Palace to visit the emperor.
"
After all, this emperor had experienced great storms, and he suddenly felt that the Emperor's location was in danger.
Although the emperor has also reached the end of his life, if he died of poisoning in the palace, there may be many rumors spread outside.
Chonghua Palace, among the palaces——
In the palace surrounded by curtains, a gray-haired old eunuch brought a jade bowl with a steaming bowl of gruel inside. He came forward somewhat tremblingly and bowed to the Supreme Emperor lying behind the curtains.
Said: "Your Majesty, it's time to take medicinal food."
As winter entered, the weather became colder. Although the climate in the palace was warm, the Emperor still fell ill. He was lying on the bed, his old face showing weakness and haggard.
"It's not peaceful in the palace recently, so I have to use a silver needle to test the poison." At this time, an older female official came forward and said.
This was the reaction measure taken by the Han court after Empress Song encountered this incident, which was to guard against someone secretly assassinating her.
Jia Heng actually underestimated Emperor Chongping a little before. The emperor was even more prepared for such conspiracies than Jia Heng. After fighting through the brutal battle for the throne in the Longzhi Dynasty, if we talk about military strategy, his ability to govern the country is still high.
It's not worth mentioning, but no one can match these devious tricks.
d Empress Song was beyond reach, and now she was right under her nose.
Empress Dowager Feng nodded and said in a loud voice: "Come here, bring me the silver needle."
The internal prison officer had a trace of panic on his face, but he tried to calm down.
At this moment, the female officer took a thin silver needle and put it into the porridge bowl, but it didn't turn black at all.
The old eunuch breathed a sigh of relief.
This poison was indeed carefully prepared. There was no toxicity in it, and even a silver needle could not detect any trace of it.
Queen Mother Feng nodded and said, "Bring it over."
The female officer responded, then took the bowl of medicinal porridge and handed it to Queen Mother Feng.
Empress Dowager Feng picked up the spoon and gently shook the medicinal porridge in the porridge bowl to spread the heat. Then she picked up a spoon and handed it to the Emperor who was sitting on the bed.
The Supreme Emperor closed his eyes, opened his mouth, and was about to eat.
At this moment, Emperor Chongping's deep voice came from outside the screen, with a hint of urgency, saying: "Queen Mother, wait a minute!"
Queen Mother Feng quickly put down the spoon in her hand, but the Emperor's open mouth accepted the spoon.
The Supreme Emperor: "..."
His drooping eyelids moved slightly, he opened his old eyes, and couldn't help but look at Empress Dowager Feng in surprise.
But Mrs. Feng had already stood up, followed the sound, and looked at Emperor Chongping who came in from the inner prison, followed by his guards.
"Your Majesty, how can you mobilize troops and mobilize people like this?" Empress Dowager Feng looked at the several internal prisoners beside Emperor Chongping.
Emperor Chongping said in a deep voice: "Go and ask the imperial doctor to come and see if there is anything unusual about the medicinal porridge."
The Supreme Emperor is now bedridden, and the thieves and bandits can only use food, drink, and daily necessities to assassinate him.
It can be said that King Yong, who once was in charge of the Ministry of Punishment, had a keen sense of smell that was far beyond ordinary people.
The old eunuch was shocked when he heard this, while Dai Quan observed the eunuch's expression, frowned, and waved his hand.
Immediately, the two eunuchs quietly approached and quietly blocked the old man's path on both sides.
