At this moment, on the clear jade steps in the palace, there were eunuchs and palace maids walking one after another. There were also low stools and high tables with a dazzling array of dishes on them, and the aroma was overflowing.
Because it was a time of national mourning, there were no lively singing and dancing in the palace, and everything was carried out in a more solemn and solemn atmosphere.
Emperor Chongping sat in the middle behind the case, glanced calmly at the civil and military ministers below, and said in a clear voice: "All the soldiers have fought for the country in the south and north, from the grasslands of northern Xinjiang to the deserts of the northwest, working hard, and working hard on their saddles and horses.
I offer a toast to all of you soldiers."
"I don't dare, I will offer you a toast."
The generals below quickly said they didn't dare and raised their glasses in response.
Emperor Chongping raised his eyes to look at Jia Heng and said softly: "Zi Yu, in the past two years, the cavalry generals in the Beijing camp have been traveling back and forth. This time I should take a good rest when I come back."
Jia Heng put down the wine cup and cupped his hands and said: "Wei Chen also has this intention. In the future, when competing with the Jurchens, we will mostly use boats and seamen."
The emperor was obviously trying to win people's hearts in front of all the cavalry in the capital. It is conceivable that after he leaves the capital, such "poaching" things will inevitably happen one after another.
So, the palace banquet continued in such a relaxed and happy atmosphere.
All the civil and military ministers also gradually calmed down in the serious case that the loyal and shunn prince and his son rebelled, and Qi King Chen Cheng was sentenced to death.
The dark clouds that filled the sky should have completely dispersed.
At this moment, Jia Heng picked up the jug, poured wine, and drank freely. He kept sipping the wine, and the banquet passed like this, amidst the various thoughts of the civil and military officials.
When Jia Heng left the Xihe Palace, he looked at Chen Xiao, who was wearing a woven python robe, chuckled, and said, "Xiaoxiao, you are tired after leading the army back this time. You are so tired from the journey?"
Chen Xiao raised his eyebrows, glanced at the boy in the python suit, snorted softly, and asked, "What do you think?"
She was leading troops on the front lines and fighting, while at home he mostly just wandered around flowers and indulged in love. He almost couldn't remember who she was, right?
Jia Heng stretched out his hand to hold Chen Xiao's slender body, stared into the girl's clear eyes, and said, "Xiaoxiao, let's go home."
Needless to say, Xiaoxiao is now slandering him in all kinds of ways in her heart.
Chen Xiao suppressed the thoughts in his mind and nodded lightly.
The two of them walked along a palace passage paved with blue bricks and with tall vermilion palace walls on both sides, exited the vermilion-painted arched palace door, and got on their horses.
Chen Xiao's bright eyes turned to the young man walking aside, and asked in a low voice: "Chen Cheng was sentenced to death in the capital?"
Jia Heng said: "In addition to Chen Cheng being sentenced to death, Prince Zhongshun and his son were also sentenced to death. King Zhongshun's lineage won titles. At this point, these cancers in the clan have been completely eradicated."
When Xiaoxiao assassinated King Zhongshun Chen Rong, he probably had a grudge against King Zhongshun, and King Zhongshun also framed the Jia family, so he had a grudge against the Jia family.
Chen Xiao nodded, his eyes flickered, as if he was a little dazed, and then he returned to his thoughts and said softly: "You can follow me to the princess's house later."
The so-called Princess's Mansion is the residence of King Zhou in the capital. Chen Xiao had previously asked Chen Xiao to change it to Le'an Princess's Mansion. Now the Prince's Mansion is majestic and majestic, with tall green walls on all sides and covered with creepers.
The same vines, lush and green, full of small green and yellow flowers.
The couple walked side by side, walking along the long and high brick walls of the palace road, and walked quickly towards Princess Le'an's mansion.
The person who came forward was an old servant. He bowed respectfully to Chen Xiao and said in a low voice: "Princess, you are back."
Chen Xiaoyu's face was graceful, she pursed her pink lips and said, "Uncle Cheng, prepare some wine, food, incense, candles and paper horses. I will worship my ancestors later."
Prince Zhongshun and his son died in exile. The daughter of King Zhou wanted to comfort her late father. In addition, she also introduced Jia Heng, the "prospective son-in-law", to King Zhou.
Jia Heng watched this scene silently, his mind moving slightly.
While talking, he strode into the hall, then ordered the maid to prepare hot water for bathing, sat down beside the small table, picked up the tea cup, and gently sipped the fragrant tea.
Jia Heng looked around at the layout and said softly: "Xiaoxiao, is this the main hall where my father-in-law held meetings?"
Chen Xiao rolled his eyes at the young man. Under his slender eyebrows, in his clear and clear eyes, there was a lot of nostalgia and memories, and said: "Back then, my father was here to discuss the use of troops with the generals of the Beijing camp.
Ce, I was still young at that time, so I would peek over the screen and secretly listen to what adults were saying."
Jia Heng raised his eyes to look at the threshold, his mind was up and down, and his eyes were in a trance. He seemed to be able to think of a little girl with pigtails, peeking out her head secretly, and those eyes that were as smart as black grapes, crystal clear, and provoking
Attract people's attention.
After a while, the maid came into the hall, looked at the girl with slender eyebrows, and said: "Princess, the bath water is ready."
Chen Xiao said: "You can just take a look here, I'm going to take a shower."
"Well, go ahead."
Jia Heng put down the tea cup, nodded, his eyes as warm as the rising sun, and said softly.
At this moment, Jia Heng came to the side of the painting in the middle hall and looked at the words written on it. The silver hook and iron painting penetrated the back of the paper, and there was an indescribable heroic spirit in the perseverance.
But at this moment, he couldn't help but frown. For some reason, he felt a faint sense of prying eyes, but upon closer inspection, he couldn't figure it out.
After a while, the peeping intention disappeared completely.
Jia Heng's cold eyes flashed, and he secretly said something strange.
On the other side, in the wing room where Chen Xiao was, Chen Xiao took off her skirt and just entered the bathtub along the wooden footrest.
The bath water soaked in rose petals washes the fragrant jade skin, and the fragrance is extremely fragrant.
Chen Xiao just brushed his shoulder and closed his narrow, sharp eyes when he suddenly gave a cold shout and said, "Who is in the dark?"
"Xiao'er."
At this moment, a familiar voice sounded like a flying spring and flowing jade, and then a black shadow came out from behind a brocade screen. It was none other than Our Lady of White Lotus - Wu Guiren.
His face was covered with a layer of white gauze, hiding his beautiful face.
"Master." Chen Xiaorong's expression suddenly changed and she said in shock.
The face of the Holy Mother White Lotus paused slightly and said softly: "I just came over to see you."
Chen Xiao hesitated for a moment, with a lot of apology in his tone, and said: "Master, over there in Shandong, I am just following orders, and there is not much I can do."
Our Lady of White Lotus said: "The Shandong side is none of your business."
Chen Xiao nodded and said: "Master, the uprising in Shandong was too reckless. Years of hard work have been ruined in one day."
The White Lotus Virgin's face, as beautiful as white snow, was covered with a sense of loss, and she said in a low voice: "The arrow is on the string and has to be fired. Who knows...it's just forced by the situation."
Speaking of this, Holy Mother White Lotus raised her slender and dark green eyebrows, her eyes were full of water, and she said softly: "How are you by his side?"
Chen Xiao looked stunned, knowing that the Holy Mother White Lotus was mentioning Jia Heng, and said softly: "He is very good to me."
The beautiful face of Holy Mother White Lotus paused slightly, and couldn't help but let out a sigh.
In other words, the master and the disciple never intentionally discussed whether Jia Heng was the heir of the deposed prince.
And this is just a beautiful misunderstanding.
Chen Xiao felt curious and asked softly: "Master, are you here this time?"
Our Lady of White Lotus said softly: "I just came to see you and inform you about the life experience of Duke Wei."
Chen Xiao was surprised, his eyes were full of curiosity, and he said: "Life experience? What do you mean?"
Our Lady of White Lotus said softly: "Dong Wei, he is the deposed prince..."
"Xiaoxiao, do you want to take a shower in the house?"
At this moment, the young man's voice could be heard faintly from under the eaves of the corridor. It was thick and urgent, and it was clearly Jia Heng's voice.
It turned out that Jia Heng remembered the feeling of spying on him before, so he came over to take a look at the situation.
The expression of Our Lady of White Lotus suddenly changed a little, and her figure couldn't help but flash and move towards the beam.
Chen Xiao said softly through a beautiful glass screen: "I'm taking a shower, what are you doing here at this time?"
Jia Heng smiled and said, "Come here and give you a bath. Are you tired from the journey?"
Chen Xiaomei's eyes were full of resentment, and she said angrily: "Come here, can I still take a bath?"
Don't you just want to take a couple's bath with her? Although it's not impossible.
Jia Heng frowned, looked around, and asked: "Xiaoxiao, didn't you hear any suspicious movement just now?"
"Is there any suspicious movement?" Chen Xiaorudai frowned, and her delicate and straight nose couldn't help but snorted and said, "Come here and give me a bath."
Jia Heng: "..."
Really, you were the one who refused to take a bath, and now you are the one who asked me to take a bath.
After thinking for a while, under the gaze of the beauty with raised eyebrows, he quickly stepped forward, took a towel and wiped the beauty's shoulders and back, which were as white as snow, and said: "Xiaoxiao, this skin is getting whiter and whiter.
Already."
Chen Xiao chuckled and said, "Not as white as a certain snow beauty."
Jia Heng: "..."
Chen Xiao said softly: "While I was away from Shenjing, you didn't do anything bad, right?"
"There are so many informants in Beijing, what bad things can they do?" Jia Heng said softly.
Chen Xiao said softly, "Hmm", let the young man wash his back and shoulders, and said softly: "Later, let's go to the temple to worship our father."
Jia Heng nodded and whispered: "Okay."
At this moment, on top of the beam, the Holy Mother of White Lotus looked at the young man in the python suit who was taking a bath with Chen Xiao. Her beautiful eyebrows were slightly furrowed and her thoughts were inexplicable.
The son of Su Ming, the commander-in-chief of the Sixth Army of the East Palace, like father, like son. Now, fate has played a trick on him. Together with Ke Qing, he is regarded as the heir of the guardian prince.
But he doesn't know who the real enemy is, and he considers the thief his father.
At this moment, Jia Heng had no idea what the person spying on him was thinking, but he squeezed Chen Xiao's stiff shoulders to help Chen Xiao relieve his fatigue.
Chen Xiaoxiu frowned, narrowed her eyes slightly, her heart was already a little sweet, and said softly: "Who did you learn this from?"
Jia Heng said softly: "I thought about you coming back, so I practiced specially."
In this way, the two of them took a shower and quickly left the room.
Chen Xiao, on the other hand, changed into a navy blue dress, her smooth black hair gradually twisted into an exquisite fairy bun, and under her smooth and jade-like forehead, her clear eyes were no longer as cold and sharp as before, but were a little softer.
In the dim light, I don’t know what I remembered.
Jia Heng held the beauty's slender hand beside him, and as Chen Xiao spoke, he came to a solemn and solemn ancestral hall.
The five main rooms stand in the open, with blue bricks and black tiles. In front of the courtyard are lush and picturesque pines and cypresses planted among the flowers.
Chen Xiao and Jia Heng entered the ancestral hall, walked slowly forward, knelt on the futon under the confession, and looked at the green smoke rising from the red sandalwood incense cage.
Jia Heng was also kneeling beside him. When he raised his eyes, he could see that the wooden tablet of the spiritual tablet was placed on top of the confession. On the wooden tablet of the spiritual tablet, there were lines of light gold lacquer calligraphy engraved. His name and surname were clearly identifiable. One of them belonged to the King of Zhou.
There is another piece that belongs to Princess Zhou.
Chen Xiao's voice choked with sobs as he said, "My father, my mother, my concubine, my daughter and my son-in-law are here to see you."
Jia Heng also kowtowed with Chen Xiao and sighed in his heart.
Under Chen Xiao's eyebrows, his beautiful eyes seemed to be glistening with moisture, and he said: "Prince Zhongshun and his son have been executed for their crimes. King Zhongshun has been expelled from his lineage, and the father's revenge has been avenged."
Jia Heng gently pulled the beauty's slender pussy, with an indifferent expression on his face.
After the obeisance ceremony was completed, Chen Xiao took Jia Heng's delicate hand and walked quickly out of the ancestral hall.
When Chen Xiao and Jia Heng returned to the side room and sat down, Jia Heng suddenly stretched out his arms to hug the beauty's plump body, making the slender and strong beauty sit in his arms.
In fact, when he watched Xiaoxiao take a bath just now, he was already a little bit greedy for her body, but for some reason, Xiaoxiao wouldn't let him touch it just now.
Jia Heng didn't know, because Chen Xiao's master might be nearby. This Holy Mother of White Lotus was a capable person. She held her breath and concentrated her concentration, but Jia Heng didn't let Jia Heng find out and eavesdropped on the conversation between the two.
Chen Xiaoyu's face was sweet and clear, her eyes were full of water, and she whispered: "He made you the Grand Master?"
Jia Heng hugged the girl's soft and jade body, reached into the skirt of her clothes, and gently picked the big snow pear in the beauty's arms. There was a bit of joy in his eyes, and he whispered: "Yes."
Two peach-red blushes appeared on both sides of Chen Xiao's jade face, which was as crystal clear as snow. She didn't say anything else and allowed the young man to be intimate and frivolous.
Chen Xiaoxiuli's eyebrows frowned, and her bright eyes had ripples of light. She stared at the young man approaching and said softly: "Then has he been suspicious recently?"
Jia Heng raised his brows, feeling the tightness and warmth of the past, and whispered: "New personnel have been deployed to Jinyi Mansion. In addition, the Wei and Chu vassals have entered the capital camp to learn about military affairs and train soldiers.
It is obviously an act of checks and balances. In addition, Li Zan, the chief minister of the cabinet, may make some adjustments to the personnel in the Beijing camp."
Chen Xiaoni snorted and said, "Liaodong hasn't been annihilated yet, and it's already starting to take precautions like this?"
"Maybe... I'm afraid." Jia Heng sighed.
He is the emperor, and he is also afraid of Jia Heng.
It may be a bit boastful to say this, but it is true.
Chen Xiao was silent for a moment and said in a clear voice: "That's the kind of person he is."
Jia Heng caressed the beauty's pink face, leaned forward and kissed the girl's glossy lips, feeling the softness to the touch.
The two of them were bored like this.
Chen Xiao gently held the young man's hand and said softly: "Prince Mu from the Denglai Navy Mansion in Shandong once mentioned that the Jurchens seemed to have sent ships and naval forces to expedition to the Japanese country."
Jia Heng searched for the secrets, speculated, and said: "I mentioned this matter to the emperor before, and planned to go to Jiubian and Denglai in the near future to supervise the navy and use red barbarian cannons to conquer the Japanese country."
Chen Xiao's delicate body gradually became as hot as fire, and she said softly: "How are you going to deal with it?"
"Personally go to Jiubian and Shandong to reorganize military equipment and practice naval training." Jia Heng said.
Chen Xiao nodded and said, "Then I will go with you."
Jia Heng put his hand into the hem of the beauty's skirt, feeling the delicate skin, as if he was picking a big snow pear, and said in his ear: "Well, after this time, we will first take down North Korea, and then clamp down on both sides."
Chen Xiao said in a trembling voice: "When the pirates in the south of the Yangtze River colluded to cause chaos, a North Korean navy surrendered to the imperial court and could be used as a guide."
Jia Heng's expression paused slightly, and he said in a low voice: "I plan to take all these people with me on this expedition to North Korea."
After these troops landed on the island, they knew the mountains and rivers geography well and were able to conquer the city.
Chen Xiao said "hmm" and said softly: "You...I'm almost asleep."
Jia Heng: "..."
Provocative, right?
Did this spread from Sister Feng's side to Chen Xiao's side?
Jia Heng reached out and patted Chen Xiao's round and voluptuous breasts, and said softly: "Then you can do it yourself?"
Chen Xiao glanced at the young man and said coldly: "I'm so old and tired, you can bear to torment me?"
"Okay, then I can't bear it." Jia Heng said, gently coming closer.
…
…
The next day, the sky was bright and the morning light was slightly dew. The chirping of birds and the chirping of cicadas mingled with each other in the courtyard, making the morning even more tranquil.
Jia Heng turned to look at Chen Xiao who was aside. The beauty was sleeping soundly and soundly. He reached out and gently pinched the plump, white face, and said softly: "Xiaoxiao, wake up."
Chen Xiao said "嘘咛", and under Liu Ye's slender eyebrows, her beautiful watery eyes opened, and she looked at the young man. There was a sweetness in her charming voice, and she asked softly: "When is it?"
?”
Jia Heng said: "It's time now."
Yesterday, when old friends reunited, it was inevitable that they would drink a little too much. The main reason was that Xiaoxiao kept pestering him obsessively and really regarded him as a tool.
Chen Xiao said softly: "Then get up."
Jia Heng stood up with one arm supported and put on a black and red brocade embroidered python suit.
Just as we sat down in the hall and had breakfast, Li Shu, the bodyguard of Jinyi Mansion outside, entered the hall and said, "Captain, Qiu Tongzhi has returned from Beiping Mansion."
Jia Heng nodded and said softly: "I understand."
He mainly asked about the situation in Jiubian, and then took this enemy away.
Chen Xiao snorted and said, "Are you going to take him back to Peking?"
Jia Heng said warmly: "He has been responsible for spying on Jurchens in Liaodong for a long time, and he is naturally very good at using it. This time he is going to the north, and King Wei is also going there."
Chen Xiao said: "Why did King Wei come over too?"
Jia Heng said softly: "Let's learn from the past. It can also be regarded as seeing side affairs. The palace has begun to cultivate the two vassal princes' strategies for governing the world and their ability to manage national affairs."
Chen Xiao's eyes were deep and he whispered: "We have already started planning to replace you at the critical moment."
Jia Heng sighed, moved his eyes slightly, and said in a low voice: "This is human nature. The way of checks and balances is the art of the emperor, so it's nothing."
Chen Xiao snorted softly and said: "Then it is feasible for you to plan for North Korea with Jiubian and Shandong. It is also a way to avoid the limelight and wait and see what happens."
It would be better to just sit back and watch Prince Zhongshun and his son and King Chen Cheng of Qi assassinate the man in the palace again, while he leads his troops to bring order to the chaos.
At that time, he can reap the benefits of being a fisherman and reach the top of the world in one fell swoop.
Jia Heng said: "You just stay in the capital, and there will be no other changes in the provincial capital."
Chen Xiao said softly: "It shouldn't happen now. If we make further adjustments to personnel, there will be obvious signs of suspicion, and the emperor and his ministers will really be at odds, and the world will be uneasy."
Jia Heng nodded, his eyes paused slightly, and he whispered: "That's what I said, but let's take a look at the situation first."
After that, Jia Heng and Chen Xiao talked for a while, and said no more. Then they left the Princess's Mansion and went to the Princess Jinyang's Mansion.
Because she is concerned about her son in Nan Province, the eldest princess of Jinyang plans to return to Jinling Nan Province soon.
