Chapter 1205 Baochai: Then he would be his eldest son.
Shenjing, Palace Garden
As Minister of Military and Aircraft Shi Jie took the order, the expressions on the faces of the cabinet ministers below were complicated and incomprehensible, and they felt quite uneasy.
It seems that the emperor has begun to focus on cultivating several vassal kings, but King Qi seems to be somewhat excluded?
Emperor Chongping said in a deep voice: "A few days ago, a snow disaster was reported in Shandong Province. I ordered the Ministry of Household Affairs to refer to the details and allocate rice grains to alleviate the disaster. How is the progress?"
At this time, Qi Kun held an ivory jade wat and said loudly: "Your Majesty, Shandong has said that the snow disaster did not cause too many casualties, so the province can overcome it. The vassal has allocated rice and grain to help the people, but we hope that the imperial court will take appropriate measures to avoid this year's disaster."
Xia Fu."
Emperor Chongping frowned and said softly: "Send the censor to Shandong to investigate in detail."
Han Huang raised his hands and said: "Your Majesty, the Jurchen envoy has arrived at the post house and wants to ask the court to see the Holy Majesty to discuss peace matters. I don't know when the Holy Majesty will summon him?"
Emperor Chongping said: "A few days ago, we used our navy to riot on our southeastern coast. After a huge defeat, we wanted to seek peace. They are ambitious, arrogant at the front and respectful at the back. The big man will not negotiate with these beasts and let the envoys go back."
.”
Zhao Mo heard this and said: "Your Majesty, the imperial court is carrying out a large-scale new policy this year. It is not appropriate to have any more disputes with it. If we can negotiate for peace, I think it is a good thing to reform the internal affairs of our dynasty. I would like to ask Your Majesty to think again."
At this time, Han Huang also said: "Your Majesty, please temporarily make a peace treaty so that our court can have a chance to breathe."
"What are the terms of the peace negotiation?" Emperor Chongping asked.
Previously, the two countries had actually been in a state of truce. The Jurchens suddenly sued for peace this time, which obviously required some conditions.
Han Huang said: "Back to the Holy Father, as long as we open the mutual market and allow the Jurchens to purchase rice, the Jurchens promise not to go south to invade the Han territory."
Emperor Chongping frowned and said coldly: "Even if they don't open the mutual market, will they still have the power to invade the south?"
There is no need for these big men to open trade with the Jurchens. After several wars, do they still dare to go south?
It can be said that the great victory in Ping'an Prefecture, then the great victory in Northwest China, and the two victories in the naval battle gave Emperor Chongping ample confidence.
Han Huang said: "The goddess's power is still there, just like a ferocious hungry wolf. Once she goes south to hunt for blood again next year, I will worry about the impact on our new administration."
At this time, Shi Jie cupped his hands and said: "Your Majesty, Mr. Li Ge mentioned before leaving the day before yesterday that Liaodong was also hit by a snowstorm this year and the Jurchens were short of food. They wanted to come and trade with the Han Dynasty to tide over this difficult time."
The day before yesterday, Li Zan went to Shanxi to inspect border affairs.
As the border situation eases, the deputy cabinet minister no longer needs to stay in Beiping Mansion.
Emperor Chongping said: "Delay the Jurchen envoy first, and then discuss the peace talks after Duke Wei arrives in Beijing."
He had to think about this matter again. Jurchen was really short of food, and just sitting back and watching her people starve to death, weakening her national power, and then trading with her would undoubtedly be a disaster.
Zhao Mo's calm face was covered with a layer of gloom, and he said: "The country's military and political plans are all decided by the Holy One. If Duke Wei is absent for one day, do the government and the public have to wait for Duke Wei for one day?"
As soon as these words came out, the expressions of all the ministers and military officers in the Wuying Palace were shocked.
Fortunately, this was a high-level military and political event held in Wuying Hall, and there was no scientific knowledge here.
At this time, Shi Jie, the Minister of War, saw this and quickly spoke to smooth things over: "Master Zhao, this time the Jurchens were able to send envoys to negotiate peace, and it was only thanks to Duke Wei that he repeatedly defeated the Jurchen invading troops on the battlefield. Master Zhao, this Manchu Dynasty
No one in civil or military circles knows the Jurchens as well as Duke Wei."
When Zhao Mo heard this, he was silent for a moment.
Emperor Chongping looked indifferent, glanced at Zhao Mo, and said: "The cabinet has drafted an order. After the affairs of the military camp are settled, the Duke of Wei will be summoned to return to the capital."
It can be said that Jia Heng has been away from the capital for some time. Things in the south are not peaceful, but there are no major events anymore. It is indeed time to return to the capital.
The cabinet ministers below received the order, but Zhao Mo was the only one who looked pale and felt sad.
Then, Emperor Chongping looked at Shi Jie and said loudly: "Jiubian General, can the soldiers be rectified?"
During this period, although Jia Heng was not in the capital, the Han Dynasty's military aircraft department was not idle either, and sent people to start rectifying the border affairs on all nine sides.
From Jizhen, Xuanfu, Datong, Taiyuan, Yulin and other military towns, all the way to Ningxia in the northwest, after several battles, especially after Jia Heng won several battles, the military leaders of Jiubianbian Town of the Han Dynasty became more powerful.
It's when you are weak.
Shi Jie cupped his hands and said: "The border troops and generals have been trained and reorganized. The relevant troop numbers have been checked and all are recorded in the books."
Emperor Chongping muttered: "Jiubian is the line of defense against the Eastern invaders. We can no longer be as arrogant and lazy as usual. Although we won the battle before, it was thanks to the efforts of the Jingying camp that Jiubian will conduct more training to improve the soldiers."
The combat power will be investigated and inspected after Duke Wei returns to the capital."
Shi Jie quickly raised his hand and said yes.
Therefore, the court meeting lasted until nearly noon, when Emperor Chongping dispersed the meeting.
The King of Wei also left the Daming Palace, took a carriage with a high carriage and drove out of the palace, returned to the Palace of the King of Wei, and sat down on the pearwood chair in the flower hall, his face gloomy and uncertain, showing a look of contemplation.
Obviously, King Chu's entry into the military aircraft department made King Wei quite worried.
Shi Dengwei, the chief minister of the Palace of Wei, followed him all the way to the flower hall of the palace and asked with concern: "The prince came to the palace to discuss matters today. What did the emperor talk about?"
The King of Wei put down the tea cup in his hand and said worriedly: "The King of Chu went to the military station to inspect the field affairs of the local guards and troops. I recommended myself to my father, but he rejected me."
I originally thought that he was one step ahead by arriving at the military aircraft station and predicting the aircraft maintenance, but who knew that the King of Chu was not lagging behind either.
In other words, King Chen Qin of Chu also followed Zi Yu southward and got such an opportunity?
Hearing this, Deng Wei frowned and whispered: "This is not surprising, the Holy One is also sharpening the vassals now. It seems that the Holy One is hesitant between His Highness and the Chu vassal. As for the Qi vassal, it may be out.
"
Wei King Chen Ran said: "Yes, after all, I have done so many wrong things before, and my father has long been disappointed with King Qi, so it is not a cause for concern. Now I am worried about what kind of tacit agreement the King of Chu has reached with Zi Yu when he went south.
"
Deng Wei said in a warm voice: "Your Majesty, please relax. As the Duke of Wei, he will definitely not express his position early. Besides, considering Princess Xianning, your Majesty wants to kiss her more."
"It can't be said that the two sisters from the Xianning and Zhen families are pretty much the same." King Wei did not listen to these words, and the worry on his face as fair as jade did not diminish.
Of course, the vassal king didn't know that he had the upper hand starting from Empress Song's argument.
And just when the Wei Palace was discussing the situation of the court, the Qi Palace——
King Chen Cheng of Qi also received the results of the meeting at the Military Aircraft Department. His chubby white face was full of annoyance. He slapped the small table aside, but heard the clang of the tea cup.
"Your Majesty." Shi Dourong, the head of Prince Qi's palace, changed his face slightly and advised: "Your Majesty, please calm down."
Chen Cheng's face was gloomy, his mung bean-sized eyes flashed with a fierce light, and he said: "Everyone goes to the military aircraft department, but I am the only one who can't get in? I work hard in the household department."
He felt that he had been completely given up and would never be able to win a big position, and the plan he had agreed on not long ago seemed to have failed midway.
After the assassination was agreed upon, it was launched at the time of the funeral... and a series of subsequent events all came to nothing.
Originally, if the emperor died and was buried, Emperor Chongping would definitely be buried in Gongling. At that time, it was the time when the lineage of King Qi and King Zhongshun was launched.
Moreover, Jia Heng happened to be away from the capital, because the Emperor was assassinated and the Jinyi Mansion was in chaos, which was an opportunity for defensive oversight.
As a result, the first step of the assassination was not completed, and there was no way to talk about the follow-up.
However, fortunately, this plan has not been exposed yet, otherwise it will definitely arouse vigilance.
Dou Rong said: "Your Majesty, we'd better wait for this matter first. Maybe the Prince can regain the favor of the Holy Family again through the new policy. After all, the Prince is still in the Ministry of Household Affairs and still has a lot to do."
King Qi sighed softly and said, "How else can we achieve great things?"
Dou Rong thought for a while and said: "Your Majesty, now that the New Deal is in full swing, why not help with it and regain the Holy Family?"
King Qi nodded and said: "I have also thought about this matter. Since my father attaches so much importance to the New Deal, I will simply go with the flow and promote this matter, but it cannot be too far from the capital. It is best to be in Guanzhong.
Right under my father’s nose.”
Dou Rong said: "What the prince said is true. The prince can go to the government to supervise and supervise the new policy."
King Qi's eyes lit up and he said: "This plan can be tried."
…
…
Jinling, Ningguofu
When Baochai and Baoqin heard this, the two sisters stared at the tall and tall young man in python suit and walked into the side room.
"Brother Heng." Baochai and Baoqin called Jia Heng.
Jia Heng smiled and said, "Is sister Baoqin playing here too?"
Baochai stood up with a bright face and said with a smile: "Brother Heng, Baoqin was talking about you just now."
There was a hint of shame in Baoqin's moist eyes, and she said coquettishly: "Brother Heng didn't go to accompany Sister Xianning and Sister Chanyue?"
Jia Heng chuckled lightly and said, "The two of them have gone back. I plan to take you back to Beijing in the next two days and come over to talk to your sister."
As he said that, he came closer, took Baochai's soft and tender hands, and said, "I haven't seen Sister Xue for half a month, and I have lost a lot of money."
Baochai's face was originally plump and pink, but now some clear outlines can be seen. It is obvious that she has been a little exhausted these days.
It seemed that in front of Bao Qin, Baochai was a little embarrassed when his hand was held. His plump and pear-like face was flushed with rouge, and he said softly: "Brother Heng, things are very busy here in Jiangnan."
It’s over.”
Jia Heng nodded and said, "We've finished all the work we should do. We'll go back to Beijing directly this time."
Bao Qin pursed her pink lips and said softly: "Brother Heng is talking to sister, I'm going back first."
Under Baochai's curved green-feathered eyebrows, her apricot eyes stared intently, and said softly: "You are not talking about your brother Heng, why not sit here for a while."
Baoqin: "..."
What does sister mean? Although sister already knows that she likes Brother Heng and has agreed to her, it would be inappropriate for both sisters to accompany Brother Heng like this, right?
Jia Heng smiled and said, "Sister Baoqin is getting older too."
Under Baochai Cuiyu's beautiful eyebrows, her eyes were smiling and she said softly: "Since you like her, and she happened to be engaged in the past two years, you might as well take her to your house together."
Jia Heng was silent for a while, then gently held the beauty's soft and delicate hand, and whispered: "She is still young, we will talk about this later."
Baochai is also of Lan Xinhui quality.
Listening to the conversation between the two, Bao Qin's face as white as snow turned as red as mist, and she lowered her head. She only glanced at Jia Heng and Baochai from time to time.
Jia Heng thought for a while, looked at Bao Qin and said, "Sister Qin, please go back to the house first. Your sister and I will have a private conversation here."
"Okay." Baoqin responded, feeling a little disappointed, and said no more.
Jia Heng held Baochai's plain hand, looked at the spring clothes on the side, took them over, and whispered: "Sister Xue, are these spring clothes made for me?"
Under Baochai's willow-leaf slender eyebrows, her moist apricot eyes were like dew. She picked up the clothes and said: "The weather has been getting warm these days, so I made a robe for Brother Heng. I don't know if it will fit Brother Heng."
.”
"I'll try it later." Jia Heng took the clothes, looked at them for a moment, and said warmly: "My sister's needlework is getting better and better."
Under Baochai Cuiyu's beautiful eyebrows, she looked at the young man with full eyes and said with a smile: "Brother Heng, eh~"
Before he finished speaking, he saw the young man approaching suddenly, and the familiar intimacy and warm breath hit his face, bringing more pity and imperceptible guilt than before.
Baochai's heart was shaken, feeling the young man's intimacy and joy, she was in a daze for a moment, and then she quickly put her hands around his neck.
After a while, Jia Heng looked at the rosy-faced and delicate girl, and said, "I have really wronged Sister Xue during this time."
Baochai's plump cheeks were bright and red, and she said in a trembling voice: "Brother Heng, I don't feel wronged at all."
Jia Heng did not continue this topic. He looked at Baochai with warm eyes and whispered: "When we get to the capital, I don't know what to tell our mother. Has she written you a letter?"
Baochai couldn't help but feel sweetness in her heart when she heard the young man's affectionate name, and said angrily: "I haven't even passed the exam yet."
Jia Heng chuckled and said: "We have been a family for a long time. After a while, I have to let you give birth to a big fat boy for me."
Baochai's cheeks were as bright as fire, she snorted softly and turned her head aside.
In fact, she also wanted to help him give birth to... a big fat boy.
That would be his eldest son.
Well, from Baochai's point of view, of course he didn't know about the Zhen sisters and the eldest princess of Jinyang, and Princess Xianning and Li Chanyue had been married for half a year, but their stomachs didn't move, and Qin Keqing only had another daughter.
Therefore, if you can give birth to a son, you will undoubtedly have an advantage.
The girl said softly "Hmm" and said softly: "Brother Heng, there is a letter from Mom."
Jia Heng asked: "What does the letter say?"
Baochai felt something strange coming from the golden lock at the hem of her clothes, and said softly: "I didn't say anything, I already wrote a reply."
Jia Heng warmed his hands and felt that the skin between his fingers was soft and smooth, and seemed to be getting plumper and softer with age.
After saying that, he leaned close to the beauty's ear and whispered softly: "It's about urging you to get your fame. I'll explain it to you when I return to Beijing."
Under Baochai Liuye's slender eyebrows, her eyes were as bright as water, her cherry teeth bit her two pink lips, and said: "Brother Heng, never mention the points again in the future. If Brother Heng mentions it again, I will
It’s really shameless.”
Under Jia Heng's slender eyebrows, he looked at the girl with warm eyes, who "knows the beauty of a flower even though she is so ruthless," and said softly: "In the past few years, I have really wronged Sister Xue. In fact, after the last time,
I also feel quite guilty about Sister Xue."
Baochai said in a trembling voice: "Brother Heng, please don't say such things."
Jia Heng put his arms around the beauty's shoulders and whispered: "However, sister Xue can rest assured that I have delivered the previous memorial. I will not take away any of the merits of the New Deal. I can only ask the palace to grant a marriage to you and me."
Sister Lin."
Baochai listened to the young man's words and responded softly.
She sighed quietly in her heart, it was just right for her to marry him together with Mei'er.
Jia Heng leaned into the girl's ear and whispered: "Sister, let me take a look at the golden lock."
Since the two became husband and wife, he has rarely said such things about unlocking the door.
Baochai's face was as red as drunkenness, her plump and exquisite body was limp, her heart trembled, and she whispered: "Brother Heng, it's not dark yet."
But he still allowed the young man to mess around, feeling waves of tremors running through his body and mind, making the girl's mind sway and unable to control herself.
In other words, since they became husband and wife, Baochai has never gotten along well with Jia Heng. They spend less time together and more separation.
After a while, I saw the young man approaching.
"It's not dark yet." Baochai said angrily, feeling extremely flustered.
Even so, for Jia Heng, this plump and plump girl has always been unable to refuse, or in other words, in this era where the husband is the guide of his wife, he can only follow the man's temperament.
Jia Heng said softly: "Sister Xue, it's almost evening. If you wait a little longer, it will get dark soon."
During this period of time, Baochai was indeed neglected. In other words, he had not touched Baochai since he came back from Guangdong and the marriage proposal fell through.
If the two hadn't talked for a while during the Shangyuan Festival, Baochai would have been thinking wildly, whether he was tired of her because of the marriage.
But in fact, I am trapped in the gentle trap woven by sweet girls, and I am completely unable to escape.
At this moment, I also felt the overflowing longing for Baochai, and I couldn't help myself.
After all, it is Heng Wujun who hides the poison of heat.
Baochai's plump and fair jade face was as red as clouds, and she said softly: "Brother Heng, mom's last letter said that during this period, my brother's marriage to Miss Xia's family has been decided, and he will start from five
The marriage will be consummated as soon as the city's military commanders come out."
Jia Heng hugged Baochai's plump waist and lifted up the hanging skirt. When old friends met, holding hands and crying, hugging each other closely, they felt so warm and moist.
Jia Heng's brows raised three points, and he whispered in the girl's ear: "Didn't you say before that you would marry the daughter of the Xia family to Baoyu?"
Baochai felt as if she had been struck by thunder, her moist apricot eyes filled with water, and her voice as soft as water trembled slightly as she said, "Old lady... I don't quite agree with that."
Jia Heng was silent for a moment and said slowly: "This Xia family is the Xia family of the Osmanthus Bureau in the palace. Behind it is Xia Shouzhong, the eunuch in charge of the Sixth Palace, who happens to take over the affairs of the imperial merchants. But I heard that this Xia family's daughter
, with a unruly and forceful temperament.”
Baochai pursed her pink lips, raised her slender eyebrows lightly, and her moist almond-shaped eyes were slightly in a trance, and said softly: "Brother has always been ridiculous, and now it is a good thing that he has a powerful sister-in-law to control him.
.”
Jia Heng's eyes were deep, he gently held the two full moons and said, "I'm afraid that your new daughter-in-law will make your house restless after she comes here."
If Xia Jingui marries Xue Pan, she will probably become a monster like in the original novel.
But because of Tian Niu'er, he couldn't just be a "bad guy" and break up this marriage. Otherwise, what if Xia Shouzhong would cause a stumbling block when he and Tian Niu'er were intimate in the future?
Jia Heng thought for a moment and said nothing. He put his lips together and whispered, "Okay, let's not talk about this for now."
As he spoke, Baochai's plump and delicate body suddenly stood up.
Baochai was in a trance, with her moist apricot eyes blurred, when her face suddenly changed and she said in a trembling voice: "Brother Heng, please be careful...don't get hurt."
She can't go up to the sky or come down to the ground. If something happens to her, she will really be a charming girl who can charm men.
Jia Heng said: "Sister Xue, it's okay."
After all, he has held sweet girls with plumper and more exquisite bodies, but Baochai's baby body is still much different.
Baochai was already a little flustered at this moment, but because of her heart palpitations, she was extremely nervous.
Immediately, the two of them said nothing more. Only the spring afternoon sunlight shined through the carved windows and onto the high table. The hot water in the tea cup reflected in it made ripples rise in circles.
After a while, Jia Heng lowered his eyes and looked at the plump and rosy girl beside him, and felt a little inexplicable joy in his heart.
Although Tian Niu'er is good, she has never witnessed her growth, but Baochai, who was raised by one hand, has a different sense of accomplishment.
Baochai's plump and fair face was rosy. Under the sunlight, beads of sweat rolled down crystally, flowing down to her cheeks and chin, converging on her fair skin. Her voice was soft and shy: "Brother Heng~"
Jia Heng leaned close to the beauty's ear and whispered: "Sister Xue, please call me brother Heng."
He secretly thought that if he insists on letting Tian Niuer call him Brother Heng next time, he can't do it.
As for the husband...this one will probably be kicked under the bed.
However, when I think about this, I am undoubtedly frightened. If the sweet girl is allowed to call her husband, she really... can't stand it.
Baochai endured her shyness and seemed to feel the young man's constant urging. She said with a hint of embarrassment in her melodious voice: "Brother Heng~"
On weekdays, it's Sister Yun, Third Sister and the others who call me.
However, at this moment, a familiar clear and sweet voice came from the courtyard: "Is Sister Bao in the house?"
