Chapter 1222 Queen Song: I can’t think about it anymore, I can’t think about it anymore.(
Rongguo Mansion, Rongqing Hall
The hall was full of laughter and laughter, and there were many beautiful women in hairpin skirts and coats.
After the two exchanged pleasantries, Jia Mu called the young man opposite to sit down.
Under Jia Heng's sharp eyebrows, his eyes moved slightly, he raised his eyes to look at Jia's mother not far away, and said softly: "Old lady."
At this time, the maid offered a cup of fragrant tea.
Jia's mother called Jia Heng to sit down, chuckled lightly, and said comfortingly: "Brother Heng, this journey has been quite hard. Those who have fought in the north and south should rest at home more this time."
Jia Heng nodded and said: "There is no war this year, but there are still many large and small affairs in the court."
At this moment, Aunt Xue stared at the two people who were talking. She had thoughts on her fair face, pursed her lips, and stopped talking.
Jia Mu asked: "Then it's possible to go out and run around again."
Jia Heng said: "It depends on what arrangements are made in the capital. Now the imperial court and provinces are implementing new policies. I will have to go to Tianjin Wei in June or July."
It has now entered April of the seventeenth year of Chongping. The entire northern provinces of the Han Dynasty are vigorously implementing the New Deal. As time goes by, problems will gradually be exposed.
Jia Mu said: "Brother Heng hasn't been back long this time, do you still want to leave?"
Jia Heng said: "That's almost it."
Jia Mu said softly: "You really don't have a moment to spare. You haven't been in the capital for long."
"Since you have earned your salary, you should repay your kindness. Now that the country is full of troubles, it is inevitable to be busy and tired." Jia Heng's face paused slightly and he said softly.
Jia Mu said, "That's what Brother Heng said."
On the other side, Baoyu's face was full of complex colors like the full moon of the Mid-Autumn Festival. He stared at the young man, his eyes moving slightly.
Is Brother Heng considered a traitor to the country?
It can be said that Jia Heng's behavior of embracing Chai Dai in the southeast has deeply shaken Baoyu's contempt for reading when he was young.
Not to mention anything else, being surrounded by golden hairpins and traveling to the south of the Yangtze River itself contains a man's yearning for a free life.
Everyone also looked at the young man, with different expressions on their faces.
Mother Jia's old eyes paused and said: "Brother Heng, what happened last time when the palace granted Princess Le'an a marriage? Didn't I mean that after the naval battle in Nanbian'er, you proposed to the palace to marry Bao Yatou?
?"
As soon as these words came out, Aunt Xue felt as if she had been struck by thunder, her face became condensed, and she turned to look at the young man, her mind already raised, for fear of missing a word.
Jia Heng said: "Princess Le'an went to the northwest with me to fight. She originally wanted to propose marriage. After learning about it in the palace, she took it to heart. This time, the credit was not as good as that of Shangshu, and the palace had already given her the gift.
Princess Wen Le'an originally talked about the marriage with the princess, and she said before that she wouldn't be in a hurry until later, but she didn't want the palace to grant the marriage first."
Hearing this, Mother Jia had a thoughtful look on her face and whispered: "Princess Le'an is a bit caught off guard. What is Bao Yatou talking about about her marriage now?"
Jia Heng said: "I have already told the palace about this matter before. The princess is actually several years older than Sister Xue, and the queen mother and the emperor in the palace also attach great importance to it."
Xiaoxiao is now twenty-one this year. When he met Xiaoxiao, he was only eighteen or nineteen years old, a few years older than Baochai.
Aunt Xue was sitting downstairs, with a strange expression on her face for a moment.
After hearing what Jia Heng said, Jia's mother said, "But Bao Ya is not young anymore, and her marriage to Yu'er cannot be postponed forever."
Jia Heng said: "What the old lady said was that she had already sent a letter to the palace before. When the New Deal takes effect, she will ask the palace for marriage. Now I went to the palace to see the Holy One, and the Holy One generally agreed.
thing."
He estimated that the time should be the 18th year of Chongping. At that time, the New Deal was popular, rewards were based on merit, and marriages were given with hairpins... which seemed to have a sense of family joy.
But I don’t know how many twists and turns there will be in the middle.
The smile on Mother Jia's kind face resumed and she said, "It's a good arrangement. Bao Yatou and Lin Yatou are still young, so they are not in a hurry."
As he said that, he looked at Baochai and Daiyu, whose faces were red with embarrassment and their heads were hanging down.
Seeing the slim and graceful girls, who looked like fat and thin girls, Chai and Dai, Mother Jia couldn't help but sigh in her heart.
Originally, I wanted Baochai and Yu'er to help Baoyu match them up, but it didn't take long for them to fall into the hands of Brother Heng.
Why didn't she notice it before? Brother Heng had both of them in his hands.
He is really the man of the Jia family...
At this moment, Aunt Xue was listening to the young man's arrangements. A little relief appeared on her fair face, and then she looked at her own daughter who was among the crowd, with a face that looked like a pear, and was blushing like a blush.
Aunt Xue clutched a handkerchief in her hand, feeling confused and confused.
There should be no mistakes this time.
She shouldn't have said so much before, but she made a lot of jokes about it, so she can't say much more in the future.
At this moment, Jia Mu raised her eyes to look at Sister Feng and said, "Girl Feng, these girls have come back from the south. They have traveled thousands of miles and are quite tired. You can take them to the garden to rest."
Sister Feng smiled and agreed, then without saying another word, she greeted all the golden hairpins to the Grand View Garden.
Baoyu stood up, with a confused look on his face for a moment.
It seemed that the fragrant makeup and the calm smile just now disappeared all of a sudden.
Seeing that everyone had left at this time, only the second wife of King Xing and Aunt Xue were left in the hall. The look on Jia Mu's old face could not help but hesitate for a moment, and whispered: "Brother Heng, I'm Baoyu."
Now I am also in the General Affairs Department. I have been here for two or three years. Brother Heng, do you think it is time to transfer?"
Mrs. Wang, who was originally holding a string of Buddhist beads on her wrist, felt her heart skip a beat when she heard this, and couldn't help but cast her eyes on the boy in the python suit.
Jia Heng put down the tea cup in his hand and said: "With the advent of the New Deal, many provinces, vassals, and bureaucracies are bound to have vacancies. It should not be difficult for the current political master to be promoted to a provincial bureaucracy or to become an academic administrator."
It had been two years since Jia Zheng was transferred to the General Affairs Department as Deputy Envoy. However, Zheng's father lacked practical experience and once he got there, he would be easily deceived by cunning subordinates.
A high-ranking official of the second rank, such as the chief envoy, often has insufficient qualifications, while a third-rank official, an inspector-general, is just right.
By the way, Fu Qiufang's brother Fu Shi has been in Xinyang Prefecture in Henan for two years. After this year, it should be time for his transfer, and he will be promoted to the prefectural governor based on his political performance.
When Jia Mu heard this, she was overjoyed and asked, "Brother Heng, can you stay in the capital without being released?"
Jia Heng mused: "If you let a local official go out and make some political achievements in the local area, and have a solid resume, it will be much cheaper to transfer him to the central government. At that time, even if the political master is Jiuqing, or a province is enfeoffed, it will not matter.
You will be criticized."
Although becoming an inspector is a third-grade official, it is still an important step. Even though advancing to the second-grade is considered a super promotion, it will not be too eye-catching.
In fact, the official positions of the Han Dynasty followed the Ming system, and the setting of the rank of minister was somewhat unreasonable. The rank of minister was only the third rank, which was lower than the gradually customized governor. For example, in the Manchu Qing Dynasty, the rank of minister was designated as the second rank, which was more reasonable.
When Jia Mu heard the words "Jiuqing" and "Fengjiang", she couldn't hide the joy on her face. As for the strangeness she felt just now because her hairpin and hairpin were all returned to Jia Heng, she gradually faded away. She nodded and said softly: "Brother Heng said that.
It makes sense."
At this moment, Aunt Xue said softly: "Brother Heng, Pan'er has been in the Wucheng Military and Horse Division for many years. Brother Heng, please see if you can send someone to take her over."
Jia Heng comforted and said: "Since there is still half a year, just let Wenlong stay for a while."
Aunt Xue said: "This is not an engagement between Pan'er and the Xia family. Although I don't think Pan'er is a guilty person, I think she is not too young now and will come out just in time to get married."
Jia Heng thought for a while and said: "If the Xia family is willing, take some time to complete the marriage, and then"
Aunt Xue: "..."
Just don't release Pan'er in advance, right?
Jia Heng said: "Nowadays, many people in the capital are staring at Wen Long. I'm not sure what outsiders will say when he comes out of prison like this."
Aunt Xue forced a smile on her face and whispered: "Then just listen to Brother Heng."
Jia Heng said: "Auntie, don't be too anxious. If we wait for another six months, the life case will be over."
Aunt Xue nodded and couldn't say anything else.
Jia Heng chatted with Jia Mu for a while, and Jia Mu said warmly: "It's getting late now. It's time for you to go back and have a rest. Spend some time with Ke Qing and your daughter. They haven't been here for a while."
Stop talking about you."
Jia Heng said in a low voice: "I'm talking about going back to accompany the two of them."
Jia Mu's eyes were gentle, and when she saw that the young man was still as humble as ever, even though he was a first-class Duke, she felt very satisfied in her heart and said, "Go ahead."
Jia Heng nodded and did not linger in the room for long, then stood up and left Rongqing Hall.
At Jia Mu's signal, Yuanyang also sent the young man out, and the two of them walked along the green-painted railing corridor towards Ningguo Mansion.
It is mid-spring now and the weather is warm.
The jagged rocks in the courtyard are of strange shapes, the green grass is as green as before, and the red eaves and green roofs seem to be covered with moss, which is lush and eye-catching.
At this moment, Jia Heng gently held Yuanyang's slender catkin and said softly: "Yuanyang, let's go and talk in your room."
It's still early now, so we can still have a conversation together.
When Yuanyang heard this, a light blush appeared on her face as white as a jade duck egg. She said "Hmm" with a mixture of joy and anger, took Jia Heng's hand with her backhand, and walked towards the house.
…
…
Let’s not mention for the time being that Jia Heng and Yuanyang expressed their feelings after parting, but instead talked about the palace garden and Kunning Palace——
Empress Song and Concubine Duanrong talked for a while. At this moment, an eunuch from outside the palace entered the palace and announced loudly: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty has arrived."
When Empress Song heard this, she didn't know why. Her delicate body trembled slightly. She didn't know why, but she felt a little panicked.
After a while, Emperor Chongping was seen coming in from outside. The middle-aged emperor looked gentle and said softly: "Zitong, you are back."
At this time, Princess Xianning, Li Chanyue, and Song Yan who were talking on the side came forward and saluted Emperor Chongping one after another.
Emperor Chongping looked at the three girls with somewhat gentle eyes, and said, "Xianning, Chanyue, please get up."
Empress Song came closer, with a faint smile on her snow-white face and beautiful face, and said softly: "Your Majesty."
Emperor Chongping sat down and stared at the beauty with a rosy complexion. He didn't know if it was his imagination, but he always felt that Zitong was younger and more rosy. Could it be that Jiangnan was more nurturing, and said: "Zitong, earlier
The imperial edict of posthumous gift has been issued, everything is fine in the Song family now."
Empress Song said warmly: "Your Majesty, I miss you. Everything is fine at home."
Emperor Chongping nodded, and while speaking, he sat down and said in a low voice: "That's good. Previously, when Song Xuan was sent to Shu Dingyou, I meant that after a while, he would regain his love and move to another province to serve. Now,
The implementation of the New Deal in the northern provinces is in full swing, and just now Cai Ziyu told me that he would second Henan officials to go to the northern provinces to support the New Deal. I think this is a good idea."
Empress Song nodded, and when she heard the middle-aged emperor mention the young man, for some reason, her heart beat violently, and something strange came into her heart. There was a trace of trembling and trembling in her round and round voice, and she said: "Your Majesty makes the decision.
That’s it.”
Emperor Chongping said: "What happened when King Zhao's son assassinated Zitong earlier? By the way, why didn't you see King Liang when you came back this time?"
Empress Song said softly: "Your Majesty, because Hangzhou was faced with the threat of enemy invaders, I left behind a troop of troops and took the people to Jinling to take refuge, but I didn't want to run into something like that."
For this reason, she and Zi Yu... had things like that happen, making mistakes again and again.
Well, why is she thinking about this in front of His Majesty?
I can't think about it anymore. I can't think about it anymore.
But for some reason, the more she suppressed her forcefully, the scorching hot scene that seemed so entangled to death in the past slightly rippled in the beauty's heart, as if it had some kind of magic power that lingered in her mind.
The beauty felt so flustered that she couldn't control herself. Even the embroidered shoes under her skirt couldn't help but move closer together.
Because there was a report beforehand, Emperor Chongping did not continue to ask further questions, and said in a deep voice: "This Chen Yuan, just a few months ago, extended his poisonous hand to my father. He is so crazy and outrageous!"
Empress Song nodded her head, her beautiful eyes filled with water, her mind settled in a trance, and she said absently: "Your Majesty, has the murderer been tracked down recently?"
"I have mobilized the Jinyi Mansion and the internal guards to find him!" When mentioning this matter, Emperor Chongping's face surged with anger, and he was still a little annoyed.
In this way, the couple and Concubine Duanrong were talking, while Princess Xianning also took Li Chanyue and Song Yan to rest in the original palace.
…

Shenjing City, Wei Palace
After Jia Heng returned to the capital, the King of Wei also welcomed Jia Heng to the palace along with all the civil and military ministers. After having a banquet, he returned to the palace.
At this moment, Shi Dengwei, the chief minister of the Wei Palace, sat beside the small table and said: "Your Majesty, now the King of Chu has also arrived in Shenjing. He has recently begun to search for relevant books in the Ministry of War and started to investigate the land affairs of the Nine Border Army."
After receiving the imperial edict from Emperor Chongping, the King of Chu galloped straight to Shenjing without stopping. It can be said that entering the military aircraft department meant that he had gained Emperor Chongping's trust.
The king of Wei said softly: "The local garrison and military garrison are intertwined and have accumulated abuses for a long time. They are not easy to check."
Deng Weidao said: "Your Majesty, you might as well ask for someone to supervise the New Deal. Now the Holy Spirit views the New Deal as a great cause of resurgence."
"It's not easy to do such an offending job." King Wei looked gloomy and frowned, and said, "I want to go to the palace later to ask my mother about the situation."
Deng Wei said softly: "Duke Wei has also returned from Jinling. Your Highness might as well ask Duke Wei for a try?"
"Jia Ziyu is very scheming and knows how to protect one's own safety. He will not interfere." King Wei raised his eyebrows, his eyes darkened, and he said in a low voice.
After such a long time, this noble man from Tianhuang gradually figured it out.
Deng Wei pondered and said: "Your Majesty might as well supervise the new policies in the Guanzhong area, and stay closer to the center. If you achieve results, you can also attract the attention of the Holy One. Your Majesty does not need to go to the northern provinces to offend people in a certain place or region.
Officials and gentry."
Just as Jia Heng expected, the world's wise and resourceful people were all the same, and Deng Wei also thought of the New Deal at this moment as a means to invite the purchase of the Sacred Heart.
If you go to other places, if something goes wrong, you will easily get into trouble and even alienate the Tian family.
Now that Guanzhong is under the eyes of Emperor Chongping, even if he makes mistakes, he can correct them in time.
However, in fact, thinking this way is just a bit inferior and opportunistic. Naturally, it is not as good as the cold-faced king who works wholeheartedly and does not avoid slander.
When King Wei heard this, his eyes lit up and he said, "What Mr. Deng said is true. I will go to Shu recently to ask my father about errands."
Deng Weidao said: "Your Majesty, many scholars from the new department have gone to the Ministry of Civil Affairs to report themselves and become officials in the department and local areas. Some of them want to see the prince and have to listen to the prince's teachings."
In the past two years, the King of Wei has obviously not been idle. He has been trying to win over the civil servants who are taking the imperial examination in Beijing. Many of them have been in contact with the King of Wei, and many of them are now in the imperial examinations and local prefectures and counties.
It can be said that King Wei's natural status as the Queen's legitimate son gave King Wei an inherent appeal among civil servants.
Even some members of the Jiuqing Pavilion of the imperial court actually had many people who liked the King of Wei, but they were not very involved due to the sensitivity of the matter of seizing the direct descendants.
The King of Wei thought for a while and said: "Now the New Deal is a major plan of the imperial court. After they arrive at the place, they should carefully coordinate the New Deal and not slack off. Take the time to see them in these two days."
Deng Wei said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, not only civil servants, but also some military generals admire your majesty and style, and they may be able to see you."
King Wei said: "This one is gone. It's just normal official business."
Previously, the King of Wei went to Xining to escort grain and fodder. With the contact with the generals in the Beijing camp, many people also extended an olive branch to the King of Wei.
In fact, this was all beyond Jia Heng's control. Just as Jia Heng in the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division could not control some generals of the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division secretly showing favor to the King of Wei.
This is because, compared to princes and princes, wealthy families are more cautious about the fight for the heir, and most of them choose to bet at very critical times, and these young men of middle and low-level generals are precisely the main force participating in the fight for the heir in order to gain profits.
After King Wei finished talking to Deng Wei, he didn't say much and went to the backyard.
At this moment, in the hall of the back house, a beautiful woman with a cloud bun piled with greenery, a slim figure and a somewhat ladylike temperament came forward to greet her, and whispered: "Your Majesty."
This person is none other than King Wei's concubine Wei Xian, the daughter of the Marquis of Runan Wei Qi.
In the early years, Empress Song was also among the concubine options, but Wei Princess Yan Yiliu was born in the Nan'an County Prince's Palace, which was undoubtedly more suitable. After Yan Yiliu passed away for more than a year and was infertile, King Wei finally accepted Wei Qi's daughter.
Wei Xian is the concubine.
King Wei came forward, took hold of the beauty's slender catkins, and said softly: "Fei Wei."
Wei Xian has a beautiful face and a temperament that is not as rugged as that of a family of military commanders. Instead, she has an elegant and intellectual look like a cheongsam. Between the slight opening of her glossy red lips, there is a baby voice, soft and waxy: "Your Majesty, my sister is back.
"
The elder sister is, of course, Princess Yan Yiliu of Wei.
The King of Wei chuckled lightly and said, "My mother sent someone to tell me earlier that you should help me change my clothes, and I will enter the palace later to pay my respects to my mother."
The two were newlyweds, and they were inseparable. The King of Wei also liked this girl with a baby-like voice very much, especially when she cried and complained between the bed curtains, and her voice was so melodious that it pierced the bones.
Under Wei Xian's willow-leaf slender eyebrows, her slender, crystal clear eyes flashed, and she said with a faint smile: "I will accompany the prince there later."
King Wei seemed to be joking and said: "Should we bathe together or enter the palace together?"
"Your Majesty." The beauty's cheeks turned red with embarrassment, and she scolded, her baby voice even carrying a hint of sweetness and softness.
King Wei smiled softly, then took the beauty's delicate body in his arms and walked towards the inner room.
