Chapter 1260 Baochai: Master, is this one of the three princes? (Qiuyue
ticket!)
Ningguo Mansion, Grand View Garden
After Jia Heng waited and Miao Yu had a meal, the setting sun was gradually receding, the dusk was dim, and lanterns were hung on the eaves outside.
A nun quickly entered the house and said: "Sir, the front yard said that the imperial edict from the palace has arrived. I asked you to go over and receive the edict."
It was clearly an imperial edict that Emperor Chongping had previously asked the cabinet to draft, and it was officially issued through the countersignature of the Sixth Section. Only in this way can an imperial edict have legal effect.
Jia Heng looked at the nun with a warm expression and said, "Miaoyu, I'm going to receive the imperial edict."
Under Miaoyu's curved eyebrows, her bright eyes were as full as water. She looked at the young man, gently touched her bulging belly with her bare hands, and said softly: "Then go ahead."
Jia Heng didn't say much, and headed to the front yard of Ningguo Mansion as Miaoyu watched him off.
At this moment, in the front hall of Ningguo Mansion——
The Prime Minister of the Ming Dynasty, Dai Quan, was already waiting there. When he heard footsteps coming from outside, he quickly got up, looked at Jia Heng, and said, "Mr. Wei, your Majesty has a decree."
Jia Heng cupped his hands and said, "The humble minister accepts the order."
Afterwards, Jia Heng received the imperial edict of being conferred the title of Grand Master. He looked at Dai Quan who was about to speak but hesitated. Feeling something in his heart, he walked closer and asked, "Eunuch Dai, does your Majesty have other decrees?"
Dai Quan lowered his voice and said: "Duke Wei, the Holy Father has also given an instruction to Duke Wei to interrogate Chen Rong and his son in the Jinyi Mansion as quickly as possible. There is no need to ask more questions about matters that are not related to the case, to prevent the second
People slandered and slandered the late emperor and even the clan."
When Jia Heng heard this, his expression was startled, and he couldn't help but feel enlightened.
If he didn't remind him, he would almost forget it.
I'm afraid that King Yong had some dishonorable methods when he came to power. If King Zhongshun had the mentality of throwing dirt on Emperor Chongping and talked about all the conspiracy methods that he had when he came to power, it would indeed damage Emperor Chongping's reputation.
Jia Heng said: "Eunuch Dai conveyed to His Majesty that the case of rebellion with the King of Qi has nothing to do with it. The Jinyi Mansion will not inquire more about it."
Dai Quan nodded and said: "When these two days pass and all the prisoners are arrested and imprisoned, the Holy Spirit should punish the two of them."
Dai Quan said: "It's getting late, so we don't have much time to stay at home. Let's go back to the palace and report back to the Holy One."
"Eunuch Dai, walk slowly." Jia Heng said with a solemn expression.
Then, they sent Dai Quan out all the way, and when the light and shadow dimmed in the doorway at the end of the corridor, they were standing next to Dai Quan, and under the cover of night, they thrust a stack of silver notes into Dai Quan's hand.
Dai Quan's expression remained as usual, he collected the banknote, said nothing, and left the house.
By the time Dai Quan left, it was already dark, the summer moon was like a wheel, shining on the earth, the croaking of frogs and the chirping of cicadas were intertwined, and everything was silent.
Jia Heng stood under the eaves of the corridor, feeling the summer evening breeze blowing in front of him, waiting for a feeling of heat. He raised his eyes to look at the shadowy house in the rich night, with a bit of solemnity on his face.
From now on, the court situation will become even more bizarre, or in other words, the Jia Party he represents can no longer hide in this court.
Fortunately, Jurchen is still undecided...
If the Jurchens were destroyed at this time, they would really be facing the abyss, and it would be extremely cold at the top.
"Uncle, His Royal Highness Xianning and grandma are in the backyard asking you to come over." At this moment, a nun came quickly, looked at the young man standing silently, and called out.
During the past two days, Princess Xianning stayed in Ningguo Mansion, almost sleeping in the same room with Qin Keqing. The two of them also had some sense of deep sisterly love from the initial estrangement.
Jia Heng took the imperial edict and went to the backyard hall.
At this moment, in the beautifully decorated hall of the back house, the lights are brightly lit. Qin Keqing, Princess Xianning, and Li Chanyue are seated, and the three of them are shining with beautiful pearls and green flowers.
However, the three You sisters were nowhere to be seen, or perhaps they were a little afraid of Princess Xianning, a noble nobleman from Heaven.
Princess Xianning stared at the young man and said, "Sir, is this the imperial decree of the emperor father?"
Isn't this a gift of marriage?
Jia Heng nodded and said: "The imperial decree from the palace states that for his contribution to quelling the chaos in Shandong and rescuing the emperor, he will be promoted to Imperial Master."
As time went by, some people probably no longer called him Duke Wei, but Grand Master Jia?
After saying that, he gave the imperial edict in his hand to the maid and said: "Place the imperial edict in the ancestral hall and worship it."
Princess Xianning's clear eyes flashed under Liu Ye's slender eyebrows, and she asked: "Grand Master, the first of the three princes?"
Jia Heng nodded, held the beauty's slender hair in his hands, and said: "The honor is nothing but a false name. If I can hold your hand and express my love for the mountains and rivers, and be free and at ease, it will be my lifelong wish."
As he said that, he looked at Li Chanyue, who was standing beside her, and Qin Keqing, who was graceful and graceful.
While talking, he came closer and asked: "Have you had dinner?"
Qin Keqing had beautiful eyebrows, a sweet smile, and said softly: "I have used it before, where is your husband?"
"I just went to see Miaoyu, and I've already eaten it at Congcui'an." Jia Heng said softly, and also came closer and took hold of Qin Keqing's slender catkins.
Qin Keqing nodded, with a look of curiosity in her bright and beautiful eyes, and said, "Husband, Miaoyu will give birth soon."
"Just these few days." Jia Heng said.
"Husband, please stay with her more these days." Qin Keqing had a look of thoughtfulness in her eyes and said softly: "When you give birth to a child, you will be alone without anyone by your side."
Jia Heng: "..."
Does this imply him again?
Princess Xianning turned to look at Li Chanyue who pursed her lips and said nothing, and said with a smile: "Sir, I can't hold your hand anymore, so I will hold yours."
Li Chanyue: "..."
She doesn't want it. Cousin, don't think she doesn't know what she has been thinking about these days?
Seeing the two sisters teasing each other, Qin Keqing smiled, her eyes moved slightly, and she said softly: "Husband."
Jia Heng nodded and said, "It's still a little short of that."
Then, looking at Princess Xianning aside, it was difficult to tell Xianning the news about Tian Niuer's pregnancy, but Xianning should know it by tomorrow at the latest.
Princess Xianning's beautiful eyes were as full as water. She looked intently and asked: "Sir, did your father tell me how to send people to deal with the rebellion of King Qi?"
Jia Heng said: "Chen Rong and his son are easy to deal with, but they are nothing more than three feet of white silk and a glass of poisonous wine. But after all, Chen Cheng is the eldest son of the Holy Emperor, so it is difficult to make up his mind for a while."
The decision to kill one's son is not so easy to make.
Princess Xianning nodded, her clear eyes flashed, and she said, "Is that a confinement?"
"The confinement is also worried about the resurgence of the dead and the turmoil. It would be quite difficult for the heir to deal with such a person." Jia Heng's eyes moved slightly under his sword-shaped brows, and he said softly: "Probably... death together.
"
When Princess Xianning heard this, her delicate body trembled and her eyes were thoughtful.
Jia Heng held the beauty's slender crotch and said, "Okay, let's not talk about this anymore. Where is Fu'er? I'll take a look at her."
I don’t see my daughter often, so I have to cultivate a relationship with her.
Jia Heng teased his daughter again before heading to the Grand View Garden.
Princess Xianning looked at the young man who was leaving again, came to Qin Keqing, took the beauty's delicate hand, and said: "He's gone again."
Princess Xianning paused slightly and said, "Sister Qin, how about the three of us serve him together."
Qin Keqing was graceful, her beautiful face turned red with shame, and she whispered: "It's too ridiculous."
The three of them are the official wives of Mingwen. How can they imitate those charming tricks? It's still a shame...
Well, Qin Keqing had heard Sanjie You mention it before, but she always respected her identity and didn't try it.
In fact, the three people at this moment roughly agreed that the bottom class is still hurting each other, but the capitalists around the world have united.
Princess Xianning chuckled lightly and said, "Don't Sister Qin still want a boy? I also want a child? Where can I go if I can't see my husband every day? Let others take the lead."
Qin Keqing didn't know what to say for a moment.
In the past two days, the two of them slept in the same room and shared the same bed, but they also opened their hearts to each other and recognized each other.
Just as Jia Heng was talking to Princess Xianning and Qin Keqing in the Ningguo Mansion, the good news that Jia Heng was appointed Grand Master also reached the Rongguo Mansion across the wall.
In Rongqing Hall——
On the other side of the room, Jia's mother had just finished dinner and was drinking tea and talking with Mrs. Xing, Mrs. Wang, Aunt Xue and others.
Sister Feng was sitting on the side looking amused. In addition, there were Chai Dai, Wen Qi, Tan Ying Erchun, Xiang Yun and Bao Qin, two chubby girls, Li Wan and the Cao family were sitting on the side, but they did not see the Lanxi sisters.
Compared with other girls living in the Grand View Garden, Sister Feng still lives in the original courtyard where Jia Lian lived, just to come to Jia Mu's place to chat and relieve her boredom.
"Old lady, the news from Dongfu is that Uncle Heng has been granted the title of Grand Master." While several people were talking, Lin Zhixiao's family entered the Rongqing Hall, with bright smiles on their faces.
The golden hairpins in the room were talking, and suddenly they all couldn't help but be happy.
Xiangyun's charming face, as bright as a red apple, was filled with joy, and she said, "Brother Heng has been promoted again this time."
Ever since Jia's mother mentioned her family's marriage last time, Xiangyun had been worried that she would promise Baoyu, but the little chubby girl was careless and heartless, so she soon forgot about it.
Tan Chunying's charming face had a look of contemplation on her face, and she said, "This time I will indeed be promoted to official position."
Baochai, who was sitting beside her, had a plump, white face filled with inexplicable joy.
Grand Master, is this one of the three nobles?
"Old lady, how old is this Grand Master?" Mrs. Xing asked with a broad smile on her fair face.
Her niece has been convinced that by marrying Uncle Heng, she will get some glory in the future, but it has been so long and she has not said anything about the door.
Jia Mu smiled and said with emotion: "Being ranked among the three nobles, this is the highest rank for a civil servant to gain an official position."
As a first-class Rongguo dowager, Jia's mother was naturally familiar with the imperial official system.
Aunt Xue was sitting downstairs. She heard a few people talking and her eyes were a little lost.
Now that he has been promoted again, he will probably become a county king in the future.
Jia Mu seemed to see the daze on Aunt Xue's face and said with a smile: "If Brother Heng makes meritorious service in the future, he won't be able to become the county king for a while. At that time, the marriage between Bao Yatou and Lin Yatou will also be granted."
.”
Aunt Xue: "..."
The people in this house will never forget the marriage, right?
There was something unnatural about Baochai's plump and white face, her moist apricot eyes were lowered, and the handkerchief in her hand was twisting.
It can be said that the marriage grant has almost become a label and a laughing stock on the Xue family.
Jia Mu smiled, glanced at Baochai and Daiyu with kind eyes, and said softly: "Brother Heng has made a lot of achievements in the past few years. In the future, he will be more likely to be granted imperial titles and entrusted to his descendants.
Needless to say, those born by direct descendants will inherit the dukedom of the country, and those who are born by concubines will be granted a title of some size in the future. It is not impossible."
In fact, this is what is often mentioned in history books. Even babies in infancy are given titles, so the whole family is full of purples and blues.
Aunt Xue smiled and said, "Brother Heng needs to take a rest. How can he be out fighting all the time without being home?"
At this moment, Aunt Xue could not help but think of the glory of her daughter being granted the title of First Grade Lady and her grandson being granted a title.
Mrs. Wang couldn't help frowning as she listened to Aunt Xue's words. She clenched the beads in her hand a little tighter, feeling as if she had eaten a fly.
Are you so proud of finding a good son-in-law?
Although they are biological sisters, Mrs. Wang was married to Jia Zheng, the legitimate son of a prince, while Aunt Xue was married to a merchant family of the Xue family. When Mrs. Wang occasionally thought about it, she felt that she was better married than her younger sister, Aunt Xue.
good.
But now, one of them is the eldest daughter of the family and has become an old girl, while the other is married to a young, promising and powerful Duke. Although she is a side wife, she will definitely be named the royal wife in the future, and her child will also be granted a title in the future.
.
This... is already somewhat incomparable.
At this moment, Xiangyun came close to Daiyu's ear and whispered: "In the future, Sister Lin can also be named a royal wife, and the child can also be named a first-class general, right?"
Well, she will be like this in the future too.
The girl was thinking silently in her heart. For some reason, she felt her heart beating violently as she recalled the scene that day again.
Daiyu's bright and beautiful cheeks were so red that she was so embarrassed that she said angrily: "Sister Yun, what are you talking about?"
The young girl who has gone through human affairs is now more delicate and angry, and her eyebrows are becoming brighter and more charming, making people feel soft just by looking at her.
When Baoyu, who was not far away, saw this scene, his heart was almost bleeding.
Sister Lin is no longer the same as she was when she was a child. Now she has completely become Brother Heng's person. When she sees him, she is always distant even though she is polite.
Baochai quickly stopped the two of them from fighting and said softly: "Zi'er, stop making trouble."
"Sister Bao, you don't know, Yun'er is making fun of people again." Daiyu said with shy eyes, scolding.
Baochai smiled, glanced at Baoyu, and said, "Just wait until Sister Yun makes a promise."
Xiangyun: "..."
The smile on the little fat girl's face solidified instantly.
Baoyu listened not far away, but couldn't help but feel a wry smile in his heart.
Later, everyone discussed for a while before they dispersed and returned to the Grand View Garden.
…
…
In the study room of Prince Wei's Mansion, candles were lit on the candlesticks. The candle flames were as orange as water, and were reflected on the bookcases and scrolls. The blue and white porcelain enamel vessels shone brightly under the candle flames.
The King of Wei had a fair face and elegant temperament. There seemed to be a look of thought in his eyebrows at this moment. He said with emotion: "Grand Master, Jia Ziyu has been promoted to Grand Master at such a young age. From now on, he will have no title."
When he ascends the throne in the future, it will be difficult for him to do so even if he wants to do so.
Of course, the vassal king didn't know yet that there were people in the palace who would help him repay the kindness with flesh.
Under the gray eyebrows of the chief clerk, Deng Wei, there was a flash of wisdom in his eyes, and he said: "This time the Holy Lord promoted me to an official, I thought that I also had the intention of observing and reviewing Duke Wei."
King Wei sat upright and asked, "What do you mean?"
Deng Wei's eyes were incomprehensible and he said: "If Jia Ziyu can remain humble and prudent, he will be rich and noble for a long time. If he becomes arrogant because of his great achievements, or if he is plotting against his heirs, the Holy Emperor will not look upon him."
The King of Wei looked stunned for a moment, horrified, and said: "What does Mr. Deng mean?"
He naturally knew his father's temperament and was always suspicious of him.
Deng Wei's eyes were fierce and he said: "Your Highness, just wait quietly. The jade test will take three days to complete, and the jade appraisal will take seven years."
The King of Wei said with emotion: "What Mr. Deng said is true. When the country was founded, it was easy to gain wealth and honor with many military honors, but it was not easy to maintain wealth for a long time."
In fact, if he ascends the throne, he is not sure whether he can suppress such ministers.
Deng Weidao said: "Now that Liaodong is undecided, the Holy Emperor will not commit suicide. From now on, it seems that Duke Wei will abide by his duty as a minister."
The King of Wei nodded and said: "Liaodong is still a serious problem for our court. Except for Jia Ziyu, few people in the world can deal with the Jurchens. Since Jia Ziyu led the army, many Jurchen princes have fallen into disgrace. I heard that the slave
The chief's eldest son Hauge was also captured alive by Jia Ziyu in Shandong."
Deng Weidao said: "In the matter of Shandong, the King of Chu made a mistake. It's a pity that Duke Wei Guo helped to make it right. Otherwise, a comment of incompetence would be inevitable."
King Wei shook his head and said: "Who would have thought that the White Lotus Sect could penetrate so deeply into the Wei Institute, but my father always knows it well."
Although everything happened for a reason, it is obvious to all that the King of Chu could not do enough.
"His Royal Highness presided over the new policy in Guanzhong, which was very effective. Naturally, His Majesty also noticed it." Deng Wei said with relief.
King Wei nodded and said no more.
…
…
Prince Chu's Mansion, Study Room
The King of Chu was also conversing with the chief historian Liao Xian and the chief clerk Feng Ci. On the small table, tea leaves were floating like tender bamboo shoots in several tea cups, and the aroma of the tea was mixed with the sandalwood in the animal head incense cage.
People have peace of mind.
The King of Chu sighed with emotion: "Since the founding of the Han Dynasty, the position of Grand Master has never been inferior to that of the weak crown Grand Master. Jia Ziyu can be regarded as unprecedented."
How much importance is this?
Liao Xian said: "Your Majesty, Wei Guo defeated the rebellion in Shandong fairly and led his cavalry to the rescue. Both his merits and his loyalty have attracted the attention of the Holy One. It is not surprising that he is now granted the title of Grand Master."
Simply abandoning the army to rush to the aid of Shenjing instead of waiting and waiting shows loyalty.
Feng Ci twirled his beard and said: "The Duke of Wei has been promoted to the rank of Grand Master. The higher the rank, the higher the title. He will be the elder of the two dynasties."
He may even be a veteran of the Three Dynasties. After all, in terms of age, Jia Heng is ten years younger than the King of Chu.
"Yes." King Chu nodded and said, "Where did Mr. Han Ge go to Cishu?"
Liao Xian said: "Your Majesty has stayed in office, and it is certain that he will be replaced as the first assistant. Mr. Li Ge will take over as the first assistant of the cabinet."
"Your Majesty has worked with Mr. Li Ge, and when he first opened the mansion, he also gave him some advice. Your Majesty might as well spend more time with Mr. Li Ge," Feng Ci said.
The King of Chu said: "Tomorrow, I will go to the Yamen of the Ministry of War to talk to Mr. Li Ge about the soldiers and garrison affairs in the garrison."
The mention of the garrison and garrisoning made the King of Chu feel a little uncomfortable. He went to Jining Prefecture in Shandong Province to reorganize his army, but he didn't know that a big mess arose.
Feng Ci observed the situation and did not know what the King of Chu was upset about. He comforted him and said: "Previously, Duke Wei mentioned that the rebellion of the soldiers in the Shandong Guard was caused by the demons of the White Lotus Sect secretly causing trouble. They have been operating for a long time, so the prince does not need to blame himself."
The King of Chu said worriedly: "Having said that, after all, it was the affairs under Gu's charge that made mistakes. Marquis Baoling also died in the king's affairs. I don't know what my father thinks."
Feng Ci comforted him and said, "Don't worry, Your Majesty. Your Majesty has just accepted a military mission and experienced affairs. He is not afraid of making mistakes, but is afraid of not doing things sincerely and shirking his responsibilities."
The king of Chu said: "I also went to Henan before to help raise food and fodder. Even if Duke Wei suddenly encounters the matter in Shandong, it will be difficult for him to handle it."
Well, maybe not necessarily?
Jia Ziyu was originally a man of letters and martial arts, and indeed he often did unexpected things.
Liao Xian said softly: "To put it bluntly, the King of Wei spared no effort to implement the New Deal in all the prefectures and counties in Guanzhong and achieved remarkable results. Previously, the prince should have been responsible for the New Deal."
At the beginning, the King of Wei presided over the new administration, while the King of Chu rectified the military affairs. It cannot be said that there was anything wrong between the two.
Feng Ci said: "These are some of the common methods used by Governor Gao in Jiangnan. King Wei also follows Xiao Gui and Cao Cao, so it's hard to see what his intentions are."
The King of Chu sighed: "I have no choice in the errands sent by my father. I can only do it well with my heart. However, military government also has its advantages."
Feng Ci said: "My lord, please follow Mr. Li Ge closely."
King Chu nodded and said, "You wake up alone."
In fact, the relationship between King Chu and Gao Zhongping was average, not as close as King Wei and Gao Zhongping.
After talking with the two counselors, the King of Chu left the study and went to the backyard.
