Chapter 1329 Queen Song: The love between father and daughter is so deep that blood is thicker than water
...(Please give me a monthly ticket!)
next day
The sky was bright and the charming breath disappeared from the curtains. Jia Heng stood up from the entanglement of soft and white lotus arms.
Qin Keqing said "嘤四" and turned to look at Princess Xianning who was lying in her arms.
At this moment, he took off a slender catkin from the lapel of his clothes in embarrassment.
This Xianning liked to caress her when she had nothing to do, so after giving birth to a child...
Is this also the royal daughter of the noble family of Tianhuang? If she were not a woman, I am afraid that some people would believe her if she was just a prostitute.
He also bullied her last night and asked her to sit at the bottom, huh, just because of his status as a noble person from Tianhuang.
Jia Heng stood up and glanced at the sunlight outside the window, which was shining in the courtyard. The autumn parasol trees were gradually withering and turning yellow. It seemed like there had been an autumn rain last night, and the raindrops on the leaves were as crystal clear as dew.
Jia Heng looked at the dazzling snow-white beauty in the brocade quilt, and said softly: "It's getting late, I got up earlier."
Qin Keqing's pink jade cheeks were as red as a blush. When she stood up, her snow-white and soft body looked like crystal-white flesh, and she said softly: "Husband, do you still want to go to the Yamen today?"
Jia Heng put on a straight green shirt, smiled softly, and said: "I won't be working for the next few days, but I want to go to the weapons inspection."
Although it is rare to live comfortably in Beijing, this kind of comfort makes people feel uneasy.
In other words, it has been difficult for him to take time off after running around for the past two years.
Princess Xianning was currently holding up her body as soft as a silkworm baby. Her eyebrows seemed to have a lazy and charming charm, and she said softly: "Sir, it should be possible this time."
Just like Qin Keqing at the time, Princess Xianning became anxious to have children after a year or two.
Jia Heng felt a little helpless and whispered: "Let's wait for the letter."
At this moment, Li Chanyue was able to get up.
After Jia Heng had breakfast with the three real ladies, he left the private room without staying any longer.
When I came to the front yard, I saw Qingwen and said, "Go and ask the kitchen to prepare some hot water. I'm going to take a bath later."
Qingwen responded softly, with a hint of resentment in her beautiful face that resembled Daiyu, and said softly: "I haven't seen the young master in the past few days."
Ever since they became married to Jia Heng, the girl has not been with Jia Heng in the past few days.
Jia Heng gently patted Qingwen's shoulder and whispered: "It's not only a wedding but also Yamen affairs these days, so it has indeed been delayed a bit."
While talking, he took Qingwen's hand and headed to the side room.
…
…
When Jia Heng came out of the wing and just sat down, he didn't stay long when the nun in the front yard reported: "Sir, the palace eunuch is here."
Emperor Chongping said he would wait two days before discussing important matters with Jia Heng, but in fact he did not want to wait even a day. He had already summoned Jia Heng and wanted to hear Jia Heng's strategy for quelling the captives.
The emperor's body was indeed about to collapse, and he couldn't wait to see Jia Heng defeat Liaodong.
Jia Heng was stunned for a moment and whispered: "I'll be there right away."
As he spoke, he ordered Qingwen to change into a python costume, then mount a horse with a maroon mane and head towards the palace garden.
Palace garden, inner study room——
Emperor Chongping was sitting behind a lacquered wood desk, flipping through memorials in his hands, and asked: "Dai Quan, is that flintlock gun really so powerful?"
Dai Quan said: "Reporting to your majesty, the inner guards have already conducted experiments on people. The flintlock muskets are much more powerful than the previous bird muskets."
Emperor Chongping said: "Equip all the guards to the palace."
Dai Quan said loudly: "The weapons supervisor said that the normal output is too small to equip them."
Emperor Chongping was silent for a moment and asked: "Duke Wei is leading the troops to fight, but it's useless?"
Dai Quan pondered for a moment and said loudly: "The red cannons and thunderbolts are enough to deal with the Jurchen cavalry, and there are only a few thousand flintlock muskets."
The so-called Royal Guards are the emperor's personal guards, so they naturally use them closely for good things.
Emperor Chongping nodded and said nothing else.
In fact, the military power of today's Beijing camp is still controlled by many military honors and the two chief ministers of the cabinet. Although Jia Heng is the commander-in-chief of the Beijing camp, he usually cannot mobilize many troops unless there is a war.
At this moment, an eunuch from outside entered the palace and said softly: "Your Majesty, Duke Wei is waiting outside the palace."
When Emperor Chongping heard this, he was shocked and said: "Xuan."
After a moment, a young man with a tall figure and stern eyebrows, wearing a black and red python suit, came quickly. He cupped his hands in greeting and said, "I have seen the Holy One. Long live the Holy One. Long live the Holy One."
"Ziyu, please rise." Emperor Chongping said.
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Jia Heng thanked him.
Emperor Chongping said: "Ziyu, I am calling you into the palace this time to ask when will we officially set off?"
Jia Heng said softly: "I mentioned to the Holy One before that in the spring of next year, we will launch troops in Liaodong. We will first use boats and naval forces to attack the Liaodong Peninsula."
Emperor Chongping asked: "Spring will start next year? Are we still fully prepared?"
Jia Heng said: "Your Majesty, if only the navy is dispatched to conquer Liaodong, with the Jiangnan navy as the main force, and another batch of troops are prepared, we should be able to train a navy in March or April next year."
The Emperor obviously couldn't wait any longer. Although he didn't know how to see, hear, and inquire as a Chinese medicine practitioner, he could see at a glance that the Emperor's complexion was dark and haggard, which was clearly not a good sign.
It can only be said that God was too kind to this middle-aged emperor.
From the 14th year of Chongping, when he became an official, to the current 18th year of Chongping, the Han Dynasty finally saw some glimmers of prosperity. However, after years of hard work and illness, the emperor gradually ran out of fuel.
Emperor Chongping was silent for a moment and asked: "What about the land route?"
Jia Heng thought for a moment and said loudly: "We want to use the navy to test it. Of course, the land route will also be used. The so-called water and land armies will advance from both ends to prevent the enemy from making rash moves."
Emperor Chongping said: "Ziyu, can Liaodong be pacified next year?"
Jia Heng was silent for a moment and said: "Your Majesty, no one can guarantee this."
Emperor Chongping was silent for a moment and said: "I don't know if my body and bones can wait until the day when Liaodong is pacified."
When Jia Heng heard this, he was shocked and said quickly: "Why did the Holy One say this?"
Emperor Chongping took one look at the young man's expression and said, "The imperial doctor said that I have become ill due to overwork over the years."
Jia Heng was silent for a moment and said: "Your Majesty, I will do my best to send troops to Liaodong as soon as possible, but the founding of the Jurchen country did not happen in a day or two."
Emperor Chongping looked at the young man with cold eyes under his thin and slack eyebrows, with great expectations and hopes in his heart, and said: "I can certainly trust what Ziyu can do."
Jia Heng responded softly and said, "Don't worry, Your Majesty, I will definitely go all out."
This should be the emperor's unfulfilled wish. He tried his best to pacify Liaodong, which can be regarded as repaying the emperor's kindness.
It's really not appropriate to think too much about the bad relationship with Sweet Girl right now.
Emperor Chongping said: "Ziyu, it's getting late, follow me to Kunning Palace."
Jia Heng bowed his hands in response, and then followed Emperor Chongping to Kunning Palace. He was saying that he wanted to see the twins.
At this moment, in Kunning Palace, the palace is majestic and majestic, and the palace maids and eunuchs are waiting with their hands down.
The fair-skinned beauty is dressed in a vermilion palace dress, with an emerald jade belt tied around her waist, which highlights her plump and graceful curves. She has a majestic cloud bun, slender eyebrows, white jade face, and a piece of snow-white skin under her beautiful neck.
, and the pair of plump and round flower disks are as big as the full moon.
She has a beautiful appearance, and her mother is respected all over the world.
"Empress, Your Majesty and Duke Wei are here." Xia Shouzhong, the eunuch in charge of the Sixth Palace, reported.
Hearing the name of Duke Wei, the beauty's heart was slightly shaken. She put down the book in her hand and read it.
In the direction of the palace gate, Emperor Chongping and Jia Heng came into the palace. When their eyes fell on the young man's sharp eyebrows, the calm lake in his heart seemed to be stirred up by many waves.
In the past year, in the dead of night, the beauty had always felt strong thoughts and resentment towards that boy.
The beauty had a faint look on her face, she stood up tall, came forward to greet her, and said softly: "Your Majesty, you are here."
Emperor Chongping smiled and said, "Zitong, I'll have a chat with Ziyu and let the imperial dining room prepare lunch."
Empress Song responded softly, and then ordered Xia Shouzhong to go to the imperial kitchen.
Afterwards, Jia Heng and Emperor Chongping sat down, and the maid served them tea, bowed, and retreated slowly.
Emperor Chongping whispered: "Now that the New Deal has been implemented throughout the country, does Zi Yu have any other suggestions?"
Jia Heng said: "Wei ministers think that the economic system is great. As long as the officials and ministers of the Han Dynasty follow the steps, and given time, the results will be seen. If it is to find out the omissions and fill the vacancies, it will be to abolish the two reforms and the Yuan Dynasty. In the past two years, the progress has been slow."
The establishment of a financial system cannot be accomplished in a day.
"Oh?" Emperor Chongping said.
Jia Heng said: "I think your Majesty has received memorials from local governors one after another, mentioning the matter of local prefectures and counties, where silver is expensive and valleys are cheap."
Emperor Chongping nodded and said: "The low price of grain hurts the farmers. There are many complaints from local governments. The main reason is that there is a lack of silver to pay taxes. Some state capitals have already gone to the Shuge Department to beg for rice grain instead."
The core of the whip law is to change the tax in kind to the levy of silver, but silver is not always available.
Jia Heng said: "Today, the number of silver coins minted by the Royal Bank and the Ministry of Household Affairs is limited, and it has not yet circulated throughout the country. More silver coins need to be minted. The Royal Bank has opened all over the country, just like the story of Shanxi merchants in the past. It is used for merchants to lend money and help them borrow money.
Merchants can circulate funds, and banknotes can be used as commodities for large-scale transactions to support maritime trade. As for places where it has not been done yet, we can only do it slowly."
In bulk commodity trade, it is very inconvenient to carry silver dollars and silver taels for transactions, but the timely introduction of silver notes can greatly reduce transaction costs and promote the prosperity of commerce.
Emperor Chongping thought for a while and said, "Then this is a pawn shop?"
"The bank was originally used for pawnshop mortgages and turnover," Jia Heng said.
These are two systems that allow members of the clan to preside over banks. In fact, after the rise of maritime trade, the insurance business will also rise.
Emperor Chongping nodded and said: "This way, you will discuss the charter with Princess Jinyang in a few days, and she will return to the capital in half a month."
Jia Heng responded yes.
It's time for Jinyang to arrive in the capital, and Yuanchun has also been missing for a while.
Weng and son-in-law were drinking tea and chatting. The beauty who looked like a big begonia flower looked at them with a smile on her face.
At this moment, the cry of a child suddenly came from the palace.
The fair-skinned beauty had a smile on her face, her pink lips were like rose petals, and she said softly: "Your Majesty, Qianqian is awake. I guess she misses me right now. I'm going to hug her now."
Emperor Chongping smiled and said, "Go and hold her over so that I can see Qianqian."
It is said that as people get older, they often like the youngest children the most because they can see the vitality and rhythm of life.
Jia Heng was as quiet as a quail on the side. He just picked up the tea cup and took a sip. He came here this time because he also wanted to see his little princess.
After a while, the nanny came over with the girl in her arms. It was Qianqian.
"Father~" the little girl stretched out her two chubby little hands and called her in a milky voice.
Jia Heng looked at the little girl who was made of pink and jade, and thought to himself, this is obviously the embryo of a future beauty. It can be said that she has perfectly inherited Tian Niu'er's snow beauty characteristics. Her skin is fair, flawless, and almost glowing white.
Emperor Chongping held the girl in his arms and said with a smile: "Do you miss your father?"
"Think about it~" the little girl said, pulling Emperor Chongping's beard under his chin with her soft little hands.
Dai Quan's expression changed as he watched from the side. He smiled and came closer, took the little girl's hand and said, "Oh, my little princess, you can't do this."
Emperor Chongping didn't take it seriously and asked with a smile: "Why does Qianqian like to pull my father's beard?"
Qianqian said: "Without White Beard, my father would no longer be old~"
Although these words are spoken by a child, they show signs of early wisdom.
After hearing this, Emperor Chongping's expression froze for a moment, a warm current surged in his heart, and he smiled and said, "What a good boy."
He is indeed old. How could God treat him so poorly?
We have just seen some signs of revitalization, and are about to make great plans, but the body of the dragon is getting worse and worse. How can the various vassals take on the responsibility of their ancestors?
Jia Heng stared at this happy scene, but there was a hint of silence on his resolute face.
Not really, I just brushed off my clothes and went away, hiding my secret joy of merit and fame.
Rather, it is a relief and relief from the gods of guilt.
In fact, it is a matter of immeasurable merit to allow the emperor to be happier in his later years.
It is rare to be confused in life.
At this moment, I don't know if there was a connection between them. When Jia Heng was in a complicated mood, when he raised his eyes, he saw a pair of charming and flowing eyes, and his heart trembled.
Sweet girl, you probably have the same thoughts?
At this moment, the fair-skinned beauty's eyebrows were curved, her gorgeous face was filled with smiles, and she said softly: "Your Majesty, I want to go to Da Ci'en Temple to pray for Your Majesty in two days."
Hearing the beauty mention Daci'en Temple, Jia Heng raised his brows and couldn't hold the Yuan blue and white porcelain teacup in his hand.
Without him, the original Great Ci'en Temple was truly unforgettable to him to this day. The mother of a country, she condescended to serve her, and her lilacs lingered in the air.
That bone-crushing ecstasy touch almost melts people on the spot and makes them ascend into immortality.
Moreover, when I looked up at this moment, Tian Niuer looked even more beautiful and charming than before.
Even after giving birth to two more children, time has not been harsh on the beauty. Instead, her fair-skinned face has become a little more mature and dignified.
Emperor Chongping nodded and said: "Go and drop incense in a few days and let Ziyu escort you there."
Jia Heng: "..."
This is really overwhelming. Someone will give you a pillow when you fall asleep?
And when he raised his eyes, he met the same beautiful face with a smile, but under the dark eyebrows, there was a bit of panic in the beautiful eyes.
It was obvious that the two of them had something in mind.
Then, the eunuch came quickly, prepared dishes one after another, and placed them on the long table made of mahogany lacquer.
Jia Heng and Emperor Chongping sat down, while Empress Song sat on a small lacquered wooden table not far away, facing each other.
The fair-skinned beauty cast her soft, shimmering eyes at the young man and said, "Ziyu, you and Xianning have been together for so long, why is there no movement over there in Xianning?"
In fact, not only Xianning, but also Ran'er seems to be in trouble.
Jia Heng looked a little embarrassed and said: "Wei Chen is also a little confused, maybe it's because we have been together less and separated more."
Emperor Chongping warned: "When you return to Beijing this time, don't be too busy and stay at home for a while."
Now throughout the Han Dynasty, famous ministers gathered in the court, and the political situation was basically stable. There was no need for Jia Heng to take any action.
The beauty didn't say much, she just glanced at Qianqian beside Emperor Chongping, and there were inevitably ripples in her heart.
Your Majesty is still here, how can she bring up the matter of Xianning giving birth to a child?
Thinking like this, her delicate body couldn't help but feel a little hot, and the embroidered shoes under her skirt gradually moved closer together.
In this way, the three of them talked for a while. The emperor was obviously a little tired, so with the support of Queen Song, he went to Nuange to rest.
Jia Heng took the little princess from her mother's hand and said with a smile, "Qianqian, do you recognize me?"
This is my little daughter, she is really cute and milky, her big eyes are watery, like a pool of spring water.
Under Chen Qianqian's beautiful eyebrows, her big eyes kept blinking, and Nuo Nuo called: "Brother~"
"Qianqian, call me dad...brother-in-law." Jia Heng smiled and kissed the baby's pink cheek, feeling the softness overflowing and hitting his nose.
The little girl giggled.
For some reason, the little girl seemed to feel that the person in front of her was particularly kind, and her two soft little arms hugged Jia Heng's neck.
When Jia Heng raised his eyes, he happened to see the beauty leaving and returning, and saw the two people interacting. The plump and soft face had an expression that was slightly strange.
The beauty chuckled, but her heart snorted.
The love between father and daughter is so deep that blood is thicker than water.
"I've seen your empress." Jia Heng called out while holding the cute baby in his arms, which was soft and fragrant with milk. He asked curiously: "Why haven't you seen the little prince?"
The beauty stared intently, glanced at the young man in shame, and said softly: "I have rested now."
This little fox only cares about his bastard, right? She didn't even ask.
Jia Heng was holding the little Loli in his arms at the moment, smelling the milky smell, feeling a little joy of blood connection in his heart, and said: "The little prince and the little princess are really like the sun, the dragon and the phoenix."
The fair-skinned beauty snorted softly, as if she was a bit coquettish, but then the beautiful eyes under her willow eyebrows looked around and said, "You still need to say that."
The child she gave birth to was naturally in the shape of a dragon and a phoenix, but this little fox wouldn't have any other evil thoughts, right?
Otherwise, how can we talk about the watch of the sun? Anyway, that position can only be random.
The beauty's fair-skinned face seemed to be covered with a slight blush, and she said softly: "The day after tomorrow, I will go to the Daci'en Temple. Please prepare for the escort. There is still some unrest in Beijing recently."
She's almost a year old... In short, it's all the fault of this little fox.
It is said that after eating big fish and meat, it is easy to go from frugality to luxury, but it is difficult to go from luxury to frugality.
Jia Heng cupped his hands and said, "I will definitely protect your empress."
Tian Niu'er missed him, her tender and angry eyes were slightly drawn when she stared at him.
The beauty sat down at the side and said: "I have told your majesty about Yan'er. There will be a decree in the next two days. You can choose a day to get married."
Jia Heng thought for a while and said: "My dear, Yan'er is still young, so we are not in a hurry here."
On September 9, the Double Ninth Festival, I mainly got married to Chai Dai, plus Song Yan, it was indeed a bit unmissable.
Moreover, he still needs to develop a relationship with Yan'er.
In other words, observe the Song family behind the scenes.
Song Jing has returned to Beijing and should go to the Ministry of Internal Affairs to be a director at this moment.
The beauty nodded and said, "When are you going to get married?"
Jia Heng said: "Let's wait until next spring."
The beauty said softly: "The decree will be issued in two days. The wedding day can be postponed appropriately."
At this moment, the cute baby in Jia Heng's arms said: "Mother."
The beauty said: "I, please come and hold her, don't you want to see the little prince?"
This little fox obviously misses his eldest son more.
