Red Mansions: The Sky-shaking Fall Chapter 1439 Emperor Chongping: I have never heard that the monarch and his ministers are suspicious, but the country has gained
Chapter 1439 Emperor Chongping: I have never heard that the monarch and his ministers are suspicious, but the country has gained
Peace...
Shenjing City, Hanyuan Hall, inner study room
Lu Jiang made an impassioned speech, and all the civil and military ministers in the palace suddenly had different expressions on their faces.
If this great achievement of destroying a country is not sealed, how can we block the mouth of Youyou in the world?
Besides, are you really not afraid that Jia Ziyu will be dissatisfied?
Emperor Chongping said solemnly: "What Lu Qing said is that I will not be rewarded for my merits and not rewarded for my hard work?"
How would the world view him if he didn't even receive a reward for such great achievements?
Even if I didn't have any objection at that time, I was forced to do so.
The so-called emperor should act in a dignified and upright way, and should be raised with merit and honor, and should not allow him to regain real power. This is the fundamental strategy to weaken and restrict him.
Lu Jiang held an ivory jade wat, with a solemn face, and said with cupped hands: "Your Majesty, I mean that I am a humble minister. Jia Ziyu is a young man with great weight, but he is not as powerful as a weak crown. He has already been ranked as a duke. He can be said to be the ultimate minister. Your Majesty, you should have great love for him and protect him as the most important thing."
, I will no longer be granted the title of County King at such a young age."
Emperor Chongping looked speechless and said: "The four princes of the founding counties were more or less able to be crowned princes with less than a weak title. They were awarded the title of princes because of their kindness, and Ziyu has special merits, sir.
But if I am stingy with rewards, how will the world and future generations regard me?"
Regardless of whether such a dispute spreads out, it will also make it more clear that the emperor is arbitrary and the emperor's grace is great.
If you can still feel dissatisfied, then you are a wolf with a heart and a dog's lungs. People and gods are angry with each other, and the whole world is attacking you.
Lu Jiang cupped her hands and said: "Your Majesty, the princess, the princess, promised to be Jia Ziyu, how great is the Holy Grace? In order to preserve the love, there should be some reservations. Besides, there are rumors in the capital, so I think it is better to have some reservations.
meaning."
Such a young prince with the talents of an emperor, how would the future kings of the Han Dynasty control him?
There are many examples in history of a son-in-law seizing his father-in-law's inheritance.
After hearing this, Emperor Chongping asked with deep eyes under his strong and sharp thin pine eyebrows: "Does Lu Qing think that I, a big man, still have such ambitious people who want to usurp the throne?"
As soon as these words came out, the faces of all the ministers in the palace were stern.
The emperor said it nakedly at once, which undoubtedly shocked the hearts of all the ministers present.
Lu Jiang pondered for a moment, then cupped her hands and said, "Wei Chen didn't mean this, but a few days ago, rumors spread around the capital, and Wei Chen... felt inexplicably worried. Maybe he was worried in vain, and asked the Holy One to atone for his sins."
Gao Zhongping below frowned and sighed secretly.
Emperor Chongping looked deeply and said in a low voice: "I treat Zi Yu as my nephew, how can Zi Yu rebel against me? In the future, Lu Qing should not make such heart-breaking words, even if he really dares to commit rebellion in the future.
Both humans and gods have abandoned it.”
At the end of the sentence, Emperor Chongping's voice was firm and decisive.
This is the emperor's mentality. In this way, invisible moral shackles are tied to Jia Heng.
At this moment, Lu Jiang opened her mouth and still wanted to argue: "Wei Chen..."
Emperor Chongping stared at Lu Jiang and said righteously: "I have never heard that the emperor and his ministers doubted each other and the country was safe. Jia Ziyu has been conquering the east and west for these years, working hard for the country of the Han Dynasty. His loyalty and sincere heart can be revealed.
Yue, there is no need for Lu Qing to make such suspicious remarks!"
When Lu Jiang heard this, her face paused and she was speechless for a moment.
Emperor Chongping turned to look at Li Zan, who was silent at the side, and asked, "Mr. Li Ge, what do you think?"
Li Zan's voice was clear, and he cupped his hands and said: "I think what the Holy One said is the right way. If there is really a heart that breeds arrogance and laziness, the whole world will attack it!"
Emperor Chongping nodded and said: "The cabinet has been discussing in the past few days what title should be given to Jia Ziyu's title of county king?"
Under Li Zan's thin eyebrows, his eyes were as sharp as a sword, and he said loudly: "Wei Chen thought that according to his title of Duke, he would be promoted to the title of County King as usual, and he was the King of Wei."
When Emperor Chongping heard this, he was surprised, and immediately said: "Is that the Prince of Wei? This dynasty has not yet had a county king, but Jia Ziyu was responsible for the Zhongxing Dynasty, so he used it as a county king to show his nobility.
.”
There is indeed no such thing as a county king.
Because of the four pillars and eight pillars of the Han Dynasty, the four princes were all based on the southeast and northwest, just like the evil in the east and the poison in the west, the emperor in the south and the beggar in the north. If Jia Heng was promoted to the prince, he would be the prince of Zhongwei.
Somewhat strange.
The word "Wei" was used to promote him to the title of county king, and throughout the whole process, he seemed to be more rewarded and honored.
As for the appointment of Zhongxing, Emperor Chongping was not only talking about Jia Heng, but also himself.
To turn the tide before it falls and to support the building when it is about to collapse.
Emperor Chongping said: "In the past few days, the cabinet and the military department have sent the military reports and subsequent merit books to the capital one after another, and rewarded the meritorious generals based on their merits, with titles, coins, and silk. Don't let the hearts of the meritorious officials be chilled.
"
We can't wait until the generals and teachers return to Beijing to talk about their merits.
Under Li Zan's thin, loose eyebrows, his eyes were as clear as a god, he cupped his hands and said, "I accept the decree."
Gao Zhongping, who was below, also said yes at this moment.
Lu Jiang looked ugly and said nothing.
Lin Ruhai listened to the arguments of several colleagues and cabinet ministers, and when he saw that the dust had finally settled, his eyes flashed, and he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
This verbal dispute was finally settled.
Emperor Chongping was originally in a state of depression, but now he spoke a lot, saying: "I'm tired, please go back and get busy later."
After hearing this, several ministers present bowed their hands to Emperor Chongping without hesitating and left.
Li Zan stared at Emperor Chongping, who was wearing a middle-aged dragon robe. A look of fatigue appeared on his face, and he sighed softly deep in his heart.
After all, Your Majesty has worked too hard on state affairs in recent years. If he waits for another ten years, he will not worry about Duke Wei.
While Li Zan was talking to Gao Zhongping, Qi Kun, Lu Jiang and Lin Ruhai, they walked outside.
Emperor Chongping, with the support of Dai Quan, sat down towards the back room of the inner study.
…
…
On the other side, Queen Song, after bidding farewell to Emperor Chongping, did not spend much time in Kunning Palace, but left the palace and headed towards Funing Palace.
Funing Palace
It was late autumn, and a golden osmanthus tree in the southwest corner of the courtyard had lush branches and leaves swaying in the wind.
Concubine Duanrong, Princess Xianning, Princess Qinghe Li Chanyue, and Song Yan not far away were sitting on the embroidered pier, all talking.
Because the palace building of Funing Palace is located in a remote location, for a while, no movement outside the palace was noticed.
At this moment, the maid waiting outside the palace shouted loudly: "The Queen has arrived."
While talking, Empress Song was seen quickly entering the dormitory, surrounded by several palace maids and eunuchs.
Concubine Duanrong's beautiful eyes under her curving willow-leaf slender eyebrows were as bright as water. She stood up and said, "I have met my sister."
Empress Song's fair-skinned face seemed to be covered with strands of exuberant smile, and she said: "Sister Concubine Rong, I am talking to Xianning."
Concubine Duanrong responded softly. Under her willow eyebrows, her sparkling eyes seemed to show joy. She smiled softly and said: "Xianning is usually bored and panicked. I am trying to enlighten myself."
Where is she?"
Although the two are biological sisters, their words and deeds in the palace represent the dignity of the Tian family, and Concubine Duanrong has always been very respectful.
At this moment, Li Chanyue and Song Yan both stood up and came forward to greet her: "I've met my aunt."
Empress Song nodded, smiled and said, "Xianning, your father just said that Ziyu won the battle in Liaodong, captured Shengjing, and pacified the Jurchens."
As soon as he said this, it was as if a warm spring breeze blew into the palace, and a touch of surprise appeared on the faces of Concubine Duanrong and Princess Xianning.
Princess Xianning's slightly beady face was filled with surprise and she said, "Sir, has he won another battle?"
After hearing this, Qinghe Princess Li Chanyue and Song Yan were holding chess pieces and playing chess across a chess field.
At this moment, everyone stopped what they were doing, raised a gentle and pleasant face, and looked at Empress Song with two pairs of crystal clear eyes.
The Empress of Song Dynasty smiled sweetly on her beautiful snow-skinned face, like spring flowers and autumn moon, bright and moving, and said softly: "Yes, Liaodong was annihilated this time, and the Jurchens were completely annihilated this time."
Under Princess Xianning's slender eyebrows, her clear and translucent eyes seemed to twinkle, and she felt a surge of joy in her heart as she gently caressed her bulging belly.
Li Chanyue pulled Song Yan beside her, and there was a hint of thoughtfulness in her eyes, and she said softly: "Sister Yan'er, Brother Heng has won the battle."
Song Yan said "Hmm" and raised her slender eyebrows, her bright eyes seemed to be full of longing.
Li Chanyue's eyebrows were slender, and she said in a delicate voice: "I don't know if I will be able to come back a year ago."
She also missed Mr. Jia a little.
She is the wife that Mr. Jia is marrying, but after so long, there is still no movement in her stomach.
The noble concubine Duanrong looked at her daughter under her willowy eyebrows, her eyes were like condensation, and she scolded her, saying: "Xianning, don't get excited, don't get pregnant."
Princess Xianning gave a soft "hmm" at this moment, and then touched her swollen belly with her slender hand. Her beautiful and bright face was full of happiness and sweetness.
Empress Song nodded and said softly: "Zi Yu will not come back before the end of the year. I heard from Your Majesty that Liao Dongfang is in peace, and there are still some follow-up matters that need to be dealt with."
Mentioning Emperor Chongping, the beauty couldn't help but think of the previous scene of Emperor Chongping vomiting blood and fainting, and her heart that was originally inexplicably happy suddenly became depressed again.
Concubine Duanrong smiled, looked at Princess Xianning, and whispered: "The birth in Xianning should be after the new year."
Empress Song's snow-skinned face seemed to have a bright and peach-like smile, and she said softly: "But when this war is over, there will be no major wars in the world. Ziyu can spend time with Xianning and Chanyue."
They are."
Princess Xianning's face showed some dissatisfaction, and she said resentfully: "After returning to Beijing, I may be busy with what I will do."
Now that she has a child, she will probably not be with her when she comes back.
Isn't it like that with his aunt? After he had children, he stopped going there very much and stayed with the young girls in the Grand View Garden every day.
Empress Song's beautiful eyes were shining brightly under her eyebrows, and she said softly: "After this war, there should be nothing wrong with the world."
Princess Xianning's originally cold voice was soft and gentle, and she said softly: "Mother, I heard that there is still a war between the northwest and Tibet, sir, you won't lead any more troops there, right?"
Just when Jia Heng led his troops to Liaodong, the northwest and Tibet were not idle, and the war was also in full swing.
Empress Song smiled and said, "No matter how good he is at fighting, we can't let him fight all the wars in the world alone."
But he couldn't help but have a thought in his mind: He couldn't let all the beautiful girls in the world go to him alone.
Princess Xianning's eyebrows were curved, her crystal clear eyes paused slightly, and she said softly: "That's what the Queen said."
Empress Song said: "During this period, you can take care of your baby with peace of mind and don't think too much about anything else. You have to be extremely careful these few months."
Concubine Duanrong also said: "Don't worry too much about the frontline matters."
Princess Xianning responded softly and gently stroked her bulging belly.
Queen Song said: "Chanyue, Yan'er, you two are taking good care of Xianning."
Li Chanyue Zangxing Yunyue's eyes were crystal clear. When she opened her mouth, her voice was soft and soft, with the gentleness and tranquility of a Jiangnan woman, and she said: "Auntie, we are always here."
Empress Song smiled, looked at Li Chanyue, and joked: "Chanyue will be able to be a mother in a few years."
For some reason, the beauty thought of her own twins, a dragon and a phoenix.
Li Chanyue's fair and jade-like face suddenly had two blushes, and her head drooped.
Song Yan was sitting beside her, with a dazed look on her palm-sized white face.
It should be her turn to have children in the future.
…

Ningguo Mansion
Just as the Shenjing City was celebrating enthusiastically because of the news of Jia Heng's victory, the servants of the two houses on Ningrong Street also received the news and reported it to the house.
In the back house, in the hall——
Qin Keqing was dressed in a vermilion dress embroidered with large clusters of hibiscus flowers. The beauty's bun was dignified and gorgeous. Her golden hairpin swaying set off her graceful and beautiful face, which was flawless and as bright as jade.
Standing not far away were Mrs. You, Second Sister You, and Third Sister You, wearing brocade clothes and high buns. Their jewels made their pink faces look bright and moving.
Qin Keqing's beautiful eyebrows were like willow leaves, and her beautiful eyes were as gentle as water, crystal clear, and she said: "It's autumn, and it's time to buy more clothes for each room in the backyard."
Youshi said softly: "It has been assigned to me."
Under Qin Keqing's eyebrows, which were as curved as daisy, there was a hint of contemplation in her bright eyes, and she said softly: "I'll send someone over to Cong Cui'an to see if there's anything missing."
Youshi said softly: "That girl Feng is busy over there, there's nothing else."
Qin Keqing nodded and said, "Sister-in-law Feng is a careful person and can manage things well."
While several ladies in the back room were chatting, a nanny suddenly came from outside. Her wrinkled face was full of an inexplicable smile, and she said: "Madam, people are saying outside that the uncle won the battle in Liaodong.
The Jurchens have been annihilated."
Hearing this, Qin Keqing felt inexplicably happy and asked in surprise: "Did your husband win the battle?"
"It seems that the Jurchens were wiped out this time?" Third Sister You raised her eyebrows and said softly: "The war in Liaodong is over, and Uncle Heng should be back soon."
Qin Keqing's face was as bright as snow and jade, and in her heart, endless joy and surprise were intertwined, and she said: "It should be."
You's gentle and pleasant face showed a faint smile, and said with emotion: "This is the result of the destruction of the country."
You Sanjie Yanye also had a smile on her face and said: "When the uncle comes back this time, he should be able to become the county king."
If a concubine like her could be granted the title of a royal concubine, she should be granted the title of royal wife.
Although the beauty never thought about these statuses when she first followed Jia Heng, she is a woman after all, and when things really come to pass, she may not be without vanity.
Qin Keqing, under Chunshan's dark eyebrows, had a soft light in her beautiful eyes, and said: "After this war, the world should be almost at peace."
She actually doesn't care too much whether she is granted the title of Prince or not, but after this battle, her husband should be able to come back, no longer have to run around, settle down, and live a good life.
Jia Fu stretched out her two chubby little white hands and said in a soft voice: "Mother, is daddy coming back?"
Baozhu and Ruizhu behind him quickly helped Jia Fu, with a look of worry on their faces.
Qin Keqing stared at her daughter, her beautiful eyes under the beautiful eyebrows were full of love, and she said softly: "Yes, does Fu'er miss her daddy?"
When Jia Fu came closer, she was immediately hugged by Qin Keqing and kissed her daughter's pink face. She felt the fragrance overflowing and her heart melted.
At this moment, Jia Fu's eyebrows were already delicate and bright, and her voice was clearly soft and waxy as she said, "Think about it."
Qin Keqing nodded and said with a chuckle: "Fu'er, daddy should be back soon."
My eldest daughter is now the head of the county. After he is crowned the county king, she will also be the head of the county.
The so-called legitimate daughter of a prince is the princess of the county, the daughter of a concubine is the mistress of the county, the legitimate daughter of the prince is the mistress of the county, the daughter of the concubine is the mistress of the village, and the rest of the daughters born to the imperial concubines are ignored.
Qin Keqing thought about the title system that her daughter had learned about when she was first knighted, and her eyes were dazed for a moment.
She secretly thought that it would be great if she had a son, so that he could become the prince of the county in the future.
A smile appeared on Youshi's gentle and lovely white face, and she said with emotion: "It would be great if I could come back before the New Year. There are still two months left, and I can still catch up with the New Year."
Qin Keqing said softly: "There should be a lot of aftermath later."
After all, I have witnessed Jia Heng's battles all the way, and I know that even if good news comes, there will still be some aftermath.
Everyone was talking in low voices, immersed in the jubilant atmosphere, and at the same time, the news of the Liaodong victory also spread like wildfire with time, towards the Xiaoxiang Pavilion and Hengwu Garden in the Grand View Garden.
Xiaoxiang Pavilion, in the west window warm pavilion under the Xuan window, Daiyu is wearing a lush green dress, with a jasper hairpin pinned between her lush green hair, like a cage under the misty eyebrows of the beautiful spring mountain.
There is a layer of vague resentment.
Opposite him was Baochai, who was holding an embroidery needle and was embroidering non-stop. His face, as white as a pear blossom, was full of concentration.
What was being sewn was clearly a child's clothing.
Under Daiyu's Chunshan-like smoky brows, her pair of starry bright eyes blinked gently and said: "Sister Bao, it's a little too early to do this now."
Baochai's jade face as white as a pear blossom was extremely calm, and she said softly: "If you prepare in advance, you will be prepared for any trouble. Anyway, when you are at home, you will be idle."
Daiyu chuckled lightly, but didn't say much else.
At this moment, a young maid came from outside the corridor, suddenly entered the Xiaoxiang Pavilion, and said softly: "Madam, there is news about the uncle outside."
Chai and Dai, who were playing chess, suddenly stopped what they were doing and stared at the maid.
"It is said that the uncle destroyed the Jurchens in Liaodong and won the battle." There was a hint of joy in the maid's voice.
When Daiyu and Baochai heard this, they couldn't help but look at each other, their faces seemed to be filled with surprise, and they said in surprise: "Brother Heng won the battle?"
Baochai couldn't hide the joy in his tone, and said briskly: "Listen to this, I think we have won the battle now."
This should be the contribution to the destruction of the country, not less than the contribution to the founding of the country.
After coming back, he should be named the county king.
And she and Yan'er should be able to take advantage of the situation and be promoted to the prince's side concubine.
Thinking of this, Baochai's heart skipped a beat, and her face, which was originally as white as a pear blossom, seemed to be flushed with rouge.
