Just when the Junggar Mongols in the northwest wanted to send troops to withdraw, the Chahar Mongols who were confronting the Heshuote Mongols in the Yushu area also received the news that the Han army had won a great victory in Liaodong and annihilated the Jurchen Empire.
and delivered the news to the prince of Heshuote Mongolia who was against him.
Prince Heshuote Mongol was also evacuating towards the outside.
And the Han Dynasty, the sacred city of Jing——
At this moment, the news of Jia Heng's victory quickly spread to the entire Shenjing, and the streets and alleys were enveloped in a joyous atmosphere.
The sound of firecrackers in Shenjing City has basically never stopped in the past few days.
On this day, Lixiangyuan
Aunt Xue sat cross-legged on a bed covered with soft mattresses, her fair face covered with a lively smile.
Not far away, Xue Pan's big face was clearly beaming with joy, and his face was honest, and he said: "Everyone in Beijing is saying that my brother-in-law will definitely be named the county king this time."
Aunt Xue smiled and said: "Yes, your sister was originally the wife of the same prince as Brother Heng. Brother Heng has three wives in total. It cannot be said that they are three princesses."
Well, that's what Aunt Xue dares to think.
At the same time, in fact, in the strict bureaucratic hierarchy, it means a deputy.
Xue Pan said: "Mom, I said that I didn't let you take care of your sister at the beginning. Is that true? Now she is waiting here. Look, who can marry her better?"
Aunt Xue nodded, smiled and said, "What Pan'er said is that your sister is very thoughtful."
Xue Pan said: "From now on, I will be the concubine."
"Auntie, Miss Bao is here." The maid came quickly with joy, looked at Aunt Xue, and said softly.
While talking, Baochai came to the hall accompanied by the maid.
Aunt Xue and Xue Pan smiled and stepped forward to greet Baochai. They stared at Baochai and said, "Good girl, here you go."
Baochai looked at Aunt Xue and said, "Mom, you are such a good person, why do you want me to come here?"
In fact, we have already guessed some clues. Apart from the fact that my husband has just won a battle and is about to be knighted, what else can happen?
When Aunt Xue heard this, her fair face was clearly unhappy, and she said mischievously: "You are my daughter, why can't I call you here?"
Baochai's expression paused slightly and she quickly said, "Mom, that's not what I meant."
Baochai was usually a good girl, or rather, she didn't want to be thought frivolous.
Aunt Xue turned from her annoyance to joy, gently took Baochai's delicate hand, and said softly: "Bao girl, let's go to the house to talk."
While several people were talking, they sat down.
Aunt Xue glanced around, lowered her voice, and said softly: "Brother Heng won a great victory in Liaodong. When he comes back this time, he should be able to become a county king."
Under Baochai's Cuiyu beautiful eyebrows, her moist apricot eyes were clear and translucent, with a soft light. She said in a clear voice: "It should be almost done, but there is no imperial edict, so I am not convinced yet."
Aunt Xue smiled and said: "It must be so. When Brother Heng comes back and is granted the title of Prince of the County, do you think the three ladies will all be granted the title of Princess?"
Baochai:"……"
How can this be?
Aunt Xue, with a smile lingering on her fair face, said: "Three joys came to my door at that time."
Baochai's face, as white as a pear blossom, seemed to have a beautiful blush, and she said softly: "How is this possible? There is always one princess. Besides, even if the princess is sealed, there is also the daughter of Prince Meng from the Song family.
,Also a possibility."
When Aunt Xue heard this, the smile on her face gradually froze and she said, "If you didn't tell me, I would have forgotten it."
Baochai said softly: "However, I should have a concubine."
Aunt Xue said: "One for you, one for Girl Lin, and then there is the daughter of King Meng and the girl from the Song family?"
Baochai's face paused slightly, and he said softly: "It should be about the same. Those princesses should not have any princesses."
She already has a position and a title, so she doesn't need the title of princess or princess.
Aunt Xue nodded and said: "Brother Heng, there are more and more women around him, you have to take care of him in the future."
Baochai said in embarrassment, "Mom, how can I control him?"
The man keeps his word at home, so where does she take care of it?
Aunt Xue's face paused slightly, and she said softly: "Why can't you control me? You and Lin Yatou have been his companions since childhood. How can he not listen to you if you say a few words to him?"
Baochai sighed quietly and said, "Sister Qin is still his first wife. If he had listened, Sister Lin and I would not have come to the house."
When Aunt Xue heard this, she was speechless for a moment.
Xue Pan chuckled lightly and said, "Mom, my brother-in-law is very well aware."
Really, what can happen if a man is looking for some fun outside?
Aunt Xue paused slightly, smiled, and whispered: "That's what Pan'er said."
While the three mothers were talking, they heard the maid's voice from outside the hall, saying: "Auntie, grandma is here."
Aunt Xue stared at the maid and said loudly: "How do you say it?"
Not long after, Xia Jingui, dressed in a light yellow dress and a tall green bun, entered the hall with graceful steps. She stared at Aunt Xue and said with a smile: "Mom, we are all talking here."
At this time, Xia Jingui was not the Hedong Lion behind him, or because of the tyranny of the Xue family, well, mainly because Baochai married into a high family, and had the support of a duke behind him, so he did not dare to make mistakes easily.
And Xia Jingui herself is one of the twelve beauties of Jinling. She is very beautiful and bright, but she also has a bit of sinister attitude.
Aunt Xue smiled and said, "What are you doing here at this time?"
Xia Jingui's fragrant face was filled with a prosperous smile, and she said softly: "I didn't come here to see how you are growing up."
Then, he looked at Baochai on the side and said, "The girl is back too."
Baochai turned her eyes and caught a glimpse of Xia Jingui, nodded her head, and said softly: "I just came here to take a look."
She could clearly see that her sister-in-law was not a fuel-efficient person.
Aunt Xue looked at Baochai and said, "How do you say it?"
Xia Jingui smiled and said: "This is not a business, I just want my husband to make the decision."
Now in front of Aunt Xue and his sister, Xue Pan started shouting loudly and said, "I told you, we won't do the Nan An family's business."
Xia Jingui smiled and said softly: "We are businessmen. There is no reason not to do it when the business is open."
Xue Pan said: "The Nan'an family made trouble for our family a lot back then."
Xia Jingui smiled softly, his eyes shining brightly.
On the other side, Aunt Xue rolled her eyes at Xue Pan and said angrily: "Whose business are you not going to do?"
Xia Jingui smiled, changed the subject, and asked: "Brother-in-law has made such great contributions this time. I heard that when he comes back this time, he should be named the county king, right?"
Baochai frowned secretly after hearing what Xia Jingui said.
Aunt Xue sighed and said, "This hasn't been said yet."
Xia Jingui smiled and asked, "I heard from my uncle in the palace that this matter is already certain."
When Aunt Xue heard this, a smile appeared on her fair and delicate face, and she asked: "Really?"
Xia Jingui said: "The title of the county prince seems to be the same word, which shows great honor."
When Baochai heard this, his eyes paused slightly under Cuiyu's beautiful eyebrows, and his heart moved inexplicably.
Aunt Xue asked in surprise: "King Wei?"
Xia Jingui had a broad smile on his face and corrected him calmly: "It's Prince Wei."
Aunt Xue nodded, overjoyed, and said: "It seems that we are sure of becoming the county king."
It can be said that Aunt Xue was really satisfied and overjoyed.
Baochai licked the powder to moisten her lips and said, "Mom, let's wait until the imperial edict is issued."
She is now afraid of her mother's mouth.
Aunt Xue heard this, nodded, smiled and said, "What my dear girl said is, don't be too happy in advance."
Speaking of which, I still have lingering fears, because it was the fact that the unconfirmed marriage to Baochai was brought up repeatedly in the first place, which made the Rongning and Ning mansions laugh.
Baochai's face was as white and greasy as a pear blossom, and she said softly: "Mom, if there's nothing else to do, I'll go back first. Today I'm still talking to Baoqin and the others about joining a poetry association."
Aunt Xue nodded and said, "By the way, Baoqin has reached the age of marriage. Your second uncle told me last time that it's time for marriage."
It's not a big deal to play with a group of sisters in the garden all the time.
Baochai, who looked as white as a pear blossom, paused and said softly: "Baoqin, wait for me to go back and talk to her."
Bao Qin also has an affair with Brother Heng... Let's wait a few days before telling Mom in private.
While Baochai was talking, he went to the Grand View Garden.
…

Shengjingcheng
After Jia Heng, Mu Sheng and King Beijing finished talking, they walked towards the hall and everyone sat down.
The King of Beijing said loudly: "Zi Yu, the Jurchen Eight Banners in Shengjing City have all shaved their heads and changed their uniforms according to Zi Yu's wishes. From now on, they will learn Chinese and learn Chinese characters. In time, they will definitely admire Chinese culture.
, and the heart of surrender is born.”
Jia Heng nodded and said: "The names, surnames and relationships of those Han officials and Han people should also be registered by the prince."
It is not to discriminate politically and make second-class citizens, but to screen and digest, at least it will not be of great use in Chongping.
These are all political conventions.
Wang Shuirong of Beijing said: "A few months ago, the Central Committee ordered soldiers from Xuanda and Dazhou to leave Guanzhen and come to rescue with food and fodder. They also arrived in Jinzhou recently. What are Ziyu's arrangements?"
Previously, Emperor Chongping and Li Gao, two ministers in the cabinet, were worried that Jia Heng led his troops in Liaodong and that the grain route would not be maintained during the winter moon, so they dispatched cavalry from Xuanda to escort the grain to the north.
What happened next was that Shengjing was captured in advance, but the Xuan cavalry army still came to the front line.
Jia Heng thought for a while and said: "The soldiers and horses of Xuanfu and Datong can work with the Beijing cavalry to sweep into the grassland, conquer the Khalkha tribes, and force the Mongolian tribes to surrender."
The Jurchens are not the Jurchens of Liaodong. In addition, the Khalkha Mongolia and Horqin and other Mongolian tribes are still active on the grasslands.
Some of them were originally the Mongolian Eight Banners under the Jurchens.
King Beijing nodded and said: "Ziyu, after the battle of Liaodong is settled, when will Junggar and Heshuote be completely pacified? Recover the two places and expand the territory for our Han Dynasty."
Jia Heng mused: "The imperial court has been engaged in wars for many years. The people are worried about peace of mind, and many generals are also tired of war. Although the imperial treasury has been greatly prospered by the New Deal, it has been abundant, but it has been depleted in recent years and has bottomed out.
It seems that the right path is to stop fighting for the time being."
Not to mention that he has been fighting non-stop. These years of fighting in the north and south have also made him feel tired.
It's time to take a break for a year or two.
Of course, everything under the sun and moon is Han soil.
After finishing their conversation with Wang Shuirong of Beijing, Jia Heng and Chen Xiaozhong returned to the hall and sat down across a lacquered wooden table to talk.
Chen Xiao asked: "Here in Liaodong, do you want to meet those former Han officials?"
Jia Heng shook his head and said: "It's the same whether you see it or not. They are all people who have forgotten their ancestors. Now that the situation is not good, they come to beg for mercy again."
Chen Xiao, with his frosty jade face, looked at Jia Heng like dew, and said: "In this battle of Liaodong, a batch of rewards for relevant generals have been sent out in advance. Previously, they were also given out to those who died first after conquering the city.
"
Although this battle was overwhelming, it did not mean that there were fewer casualties. On the contrary, the casualties were huge.
Jia Heng nodded and said: "That's good, there are also reports of the generals' merits, compiled into a book, and delivered to Shenjing."
Although this matter somewhat implies that "rewards do not come from above", at this time it is indeed necessary to send some encouragement to the generals in advance.
Chen Xiao looked at the young man in python suit and said softly: "The flying pigeon from the northwest just sent a message that Junggar has withdrawn its troops."
Jia Heng nodded and said: "As soon as Heshuote's side calms down, the war will be over."
Chen Xiao said: "The cavalry of the Rakshasa Kingdom appeared together in Heilongjiang. The generals on the front line asked if they should be expelled?"
Jia Heng said in a deep voice: "The Cossack bandits have always been galloping around and harassed our border many times. I will inform Xie Zaiyi later and go to Heilongjiang to destroy the Cossack cavalry. At the same time, I will send Jurchens to build castles in Heilongjiang."
At this time, it was actually close to the Shunzhi period in parallel time and space, and the Cossack cavalry from a small tribe under Tsarist Russia was wreaking havoc in the Heilongjiang area.
Chen Xiao nodded and said, "Then I will send someone to deliver the order later."
Jia Heng said: "It will snow in a month. The troops are ready to be subdued. It will be winter in a few days."
Chen Xiao looked at the young man in the python suit with condensed eyes under his curved eyebrows, and said: "I have already given the explanation, don't worry."
Jia Heng nodded and couldn't help but look towards Shenjing City, still thinking about Shenjing.
There are some things that he must not do.
For example, when Emperor Chongping was alive, he raised an army to rebel. Such a treacherous act was not popular at all.
But if the successor is jealous of him and makes foolish moves, he can abolish the establishment and replace the Han step by step...
Let’s not mention for the moment that Jia Heng was in Shengjing City, Liaodong, presiding over the aftermath, but let’s talk about the great Han Dynasty, Shengjing City——
In the 19th year of Chongping, since mid-to-late October, the weather has gradually become colder, but the entire Shenjing City is still immersed in the joy of the annihilation of the Jurchens in Liaodong.
After that, Emperor Chongping even issued an imperial edict on a jade scroll, offering a general amnesty to the whole world, except for the most heinous crimes and unpardonable crimes, to show the universal celebration.
On this day, it was also the time when Emperor Chongping was preparing to worship his ancestors at the Ancestral Temple. At this moment, all civil and military officials were waiting respectfully on the white marble square in front of Xihe Palace, waiting for the middle-aged emperor.
Not long after, accompanied by the "crackling" salute, a middle-aged emperor wearing a bright yellow dragon robe and a golden crown with twelve beads on his head, with the help of the eunuch, climbed onto a cart with its shafts high.
, among the carriages hung with light yellow curtains.
Emperor Chongping closed his eyes slightly to rest his mind, his thoughts far away.
Since he became emperor, he has been working hard and sleeping day and night, and it seems that he has never slacked off.
Although the country is prosperous and prosperous, he has also worked hard...
That's all, when we return from the ancestor worship, we will discuss the establishment of the East Palace.
Compared with the two vassals of Chu and Wei, the King of Wei is more suitable, but... he has no children, which makes it really difficult to decide.
As the royal chariot and carriage turned and rolled over the bluestone road paved with white marble, two vermilion palace doors opened, and a large number of Han ministers wearing civil and military official robes could be seen, slowly pouring out, like two long dragons.
On both sides stood a group of Jinyi Mansion guards holding a sheathed embroidered spring knife in their hands, alerting the retinue, while flags were fluttering in the wind.
Ancestral Temple
At this moment, flags and flags can be seen on the square crenellations of the city wall, fluttering in the wind and making a sound.
Groups of royal guards wearing flying fish uniforms were standing guard along the streets with swords in hand. However, compared to previous ancestor worship ceremonies, Emperor Chongping's ancestor worship ceremony this time was more grand.
As the salute sounded, Emperor Chongping had already opened a hanging bamboo curtain and slowly stepped down from the imperial chariot.
Emperor Chongping stood on the white marble square at this moment, staring at the majestic Ancestral Temple of Zhu Liang and Daiwa in front of him, and he couldn't help but feel a sense of emotion in his heart.
Thirty years have passed since the 27th year of Longzhi to the 19th year of Chongping. Liaodong finally returned to the Han Dynasty under his leadership.
While Emperor Chongping was speaking, he entered the temple of the Imperial Ancestral Temple with the support of several eunuchs. At this moment, hundreds of officials behind him also climbed up the steps, silently following behind.
However, Emperor Chongping had just entered the Ancestral Temple, looked at the tombs and portraits of the Han emperors in front of them, and was about to go to the place before the confession.
Suddenly, I felt a sense of dizziness coming over me, then the ground shook, and then the bricks and stones kept falling.
"His Majesty……"
When Dai Quan saw this, he became very anxious. He exclaimed and rushed Emperor Chongping aside.
Rumble…
Immediately, the entire Taimiao Temple was shaken, and then the main hall of the Taimiao Temple, where the tablets of the ancestors of the Chen and Han clan were placed, began to collapse.
Emperor Chongping, escorted by Dai Quan, quickly escaped under the eaves of the corridor.
At this moment, the bricks and tiles on the palace hall fell, and a long rafter beam fell, hitting the position where Emperor Chongping was.
It's a critical moment and extremely dangerous.
Emperor Chongping groaned. At this moment, he only felt pain in his eyes, and then blood flowed out.
In an instant, Emperor Chongping felt that his eyes were suddenly filled with darkness.
My heart tightened, and my hoarse voice was full of shock and anger: "My eyes..."
However, how could Dai Quan and the young eunuch beside him take care of this at this moment, took Emperor Chongping's arm and headed towards the hall.
At this moment, Emperor Chongping was dragged by several internal prisoners and quickly fled towards the open space.
But at this moment, the civil and military officials outside the palace saw this scene. At this moment, chaos broke out in an instant, and the formation was scattered and disorganized.
"Come here, escort! Escort!!!"
Several ministers in the cabinet shouted loudly.
The rush and panic spread throughout the square paved with white marble and blue stones at this moment, and suddenly there was a chaos of war and chaos.
At this moment, a large number of Jinyi palace guards came from all directions to guard Emperor Chongping.
