Chapter 1445 Emperor Chongping: Dismiss the commander of Jinyi Mansion and imprison him
Imprisoned pending trial...
In the golden autumn of October, the nineteenth year of Chongping, ever since Emperor Chongping was assassinated, the atmosphere in the entire Shenjing City was immediately enveloped in a kind of chilling and tension.
In Jinyi Mansion, the Five Cities Military and Horse Division, and even in the capital camp, the cavalry soldiers and horses came out of the city and went out to search for traces of Chen Yuan, the remnant of the former King of Zhao.
For a time, people in the capital were panicked and a storm was about to come.
Divine Capital City, Princess Jinyang’s Mansion——
The eldest princess of Jinyang entered the hall of the back house, met Lianxue's gaze, and whispered: "I didn't expect such a big thing to happen."
"Your Highness is going to see the Holy One?" Lianxue said softly.
The eldest princess of Jinyang sighed and said quietly: "Brother, I have always wanted to be strong in my life, but now I am blind in both eyes and cannot see. I am bound to be very suspicious. What should I do in the future?"
Lianxue looked at Princess Jinyang with soft eyes and said softly: "Your Highness, the government affairs are now entrusted to the cabinet, so there should be no problems."
Princess Jinyang's gorgeous white face was covered with a dark and inexplicable meaning, and she said: "Brother Huang is not such a big-hearted person. Besides, he has made such great contributions in Liaodong. Why don't you come back?"
After Beijing...there are some things that are hard to say."
A controlling emperor who cannot see things in his old age is undoubtedly full of doubts.
Lianxue thought for a while and then said: "The palace should build the East Palace during this period."
The eldest princess of Jinyang was like a green feather. Under her slender eyebrows, her beautiful eyes were dazed, and she seemed to be in a trance. She seemed to sigh quietly and said: "Every time something like this happens, there will be a bloody storm. I don't know what will happen in the future."
What a commotion it caused."
The two feudal vassals of Wei and Chu are not easy to use. This time they are fighting for the throne, and there will definitely be a ferocious commotion. In addition, the emperor's brother is blind and cannot grasp the situation of the court. The world is now in trouble.
Especially her shrewd and snobbish sister-in-law, if she holds Zi Yu hostage again, I don't know how many variables will be added.
Palace Garden, Kunning Palace
At this moment, Emperor Chongping was huddled on a bed in the Nuan Pavilion. He was covered with a pair of thick mattresses, and a white cloth was wrapped around his forehead.
This middle-aged emperor, who had been in power for many years and had no food and clothing, was lying on the bed at the moment, like an old dragon riddled with all kinds of diseases and filled with frailty.
At this moment, Empress Song had a look of pity on her beautiful face. She picked up a blue and white porcelain jade bowl, came close and said softly: "Your Majesty, you might as well take some medicine first."
Emperor Chongping sighed softly and said softly to the beautiful Empress Song: "Zitong, what are the recent developments in the court these days?"
Under Empress Song's slender eyebrows, her charming and flowing eyes were slightly moist, and she said softly: "Your Majesty, Li and Gao have gone to arrest the important criminal, but they still have no clue."
A look of ferocity and ferocity suddenly appeared on Emperor Chongping's face, which almost frightened Empress Song. She said in a deep voice: "Check from the source of the gunpowder! The Ancestral Temple is heavily guarded. How did the criminals sneak in?"
After thinking about it, he ordered Dai Quan on the side: "The commander of the Jinyi Mansion will be dismissed from his post and sent to prison to await trial. The relevant generals of the Jinyi Mansion who are responsible for ancestor worship and vigilance in the Ancestral Temple, and those who are negligent and slack will also be severely punished."
At this moment, after Emperor Chongping recovered slightly, he also began to investigate the responsibilities, and the first to bear the brunt were Qu Lang, the commander of the Jinyi Mansion, and Liu Jixian, the governor who was responsible for spying on traitors in the entire Shenjing.
And these people are precisely Jia Heng's subordinates in Jinyi Mansion.
When Dai Quan heard this, his heart trembled, and he said: "Your Majesty, Jinyi Mansion is currently in Beijing..."
Emperor Chongping's face was as cold as frost, and he interrupted unceremoniously: "Qiu Liang, the commander-in-chief, will serve as the commander instead. He will strictly investigate the traitors and punish those who are lax in their vigilance."
When Dai Quan heard this, his fair face jumped, and he vaguely understood something in his heart.
This is to guard against Duke Wei.
In other words, we are preparing for the next balance of power in North Korea.
With Jia Heng's great victory in Liaodong and the title of county king, once he returns to Beijing, his prestige will increase sharply, which will inevitably endanger the imperial power.
Then it's time to cut back on some influence.
As a secret espionage department, the Jinyi Mansion was originally a minion of the emperor. After Jia Heng had become a major force that threatened the imperial power, it could no longer be put under the control of Jia Heng.
It can be said that at this moment, Emperor Chongping was still calm and sober. He took advantage of the attack on the Ancestral Temple to take back the authority of Jinyi Mansion.
Above the capital camp, Li Gao and others were used to check Jia Heng, and Jia Heng was used to check Li Gao and others. However, at the same time, the Wei and Chu vassals were used to examine the candidates for the East Palace, and then the prince was responsible for supervising the country.
But because Jia Heng's power has expanded, one area needs to be cut, and that is the power of Jinyi Mansion.
Then, he can live in peace and prosperity, spend his old age in peace, and even exert influence on the government.
Dai Quan didn't say much and quickly left the palace, instructing the eunuchs to convey Emperor Chongping's orders.
Empress Song watched this scene quietly from the side, feeling inexplicably.
Your Majesty is preparing for the future court situation.
It's just that the position of the East Palace should belong to Ran'er.
Can……
However, I have always been childless, so it is really not an option to continue like this.
The King of Wei had been married for such a long time and had no children. If the previous year he could have used the excuse that Princess Yan Yiliu had some physical problems, then after marrying his concubine Wei Xian.
This argument is undoubtedly untenable.
Empress Song raised her eyebrows, her eyes were slightly dazed, she suppressed the disturbing thoughts in her heart, and said softly: "Your Majesty, have a rest after drinking the ginseng tea."
Emperor Chongping responded softly, then picked up the tea cup, drank the ginseng tea, and immediately lay down on the bed leaning against the Xuan window.
Empress Song sighed softly, ordered the female officer beside her to put away the tea cup, and then left the palace.
The beauty walked a few steps quickly and came to the outer hall. She nodded, looked at the female officer, and asked softly: "Where are the little prince and the little princess?"
The female official said softly: "The little princess and the little prince went to Funing Palace."
Empress Song nodded and said softly: "Show me at the Funing Palace."
Palace Garden, Funing Palace
Concubine Duanrong was sitting on a soft wooden couch. The beauty was wearing a sky-blue silk flowing dress. Due to long-term dancing, her figure was slim and beautiful, and her face was plump and elegant, and she didn't look old at all.
They are teasing Empress Song's twin children.
There are two children, one is pink and jade-like, and the other is pink and greasy.
Several nuns looked at the two children with smiles.
Concubine Duanrong stared at the two children. She didn't know if it was her delusion, but the two children didn't seem very similar...
Not far away, Princess Xianning was wearing a loose silk dress and was sitting on a pear wood chair not far away.
The beauty's originally flat belly had swelled into a ball, and a few pink and plump baby fat appeared on her round and round face.
Li Chanyue was playing chess with Song Yan across the board.
Concubine Duanrong's cold and beautiful face seemed to have a look of worry, and she said: "There is still no peace in the capital these days. Who is so bold as to dare to assassinate the Imperial Ancestral Temple?"
Princess Xianning sighed and said softly: "I heard from my mother that it seems to be Chen Yuan, the son of the former King of Zhao."
Concubine Duanrong frowned and said with a hint of anger in her voice: "It's so heartbreaking. The ones placed on the Ancestral Temple are the spiritual tablets of my ancestors of the Han Dynasty."
Princess Xianning said quietly: "The grudges and grudges of the previous generation, I don't want to entangle them until now, and there is still no end."
While several people were talking, they heard the voice of the inner prisoner coming from outside, "The Queen has arrived."
While she was speaking, the Empress of Song Dynasty entered the palace quickly with graceful steps and a plump waist.
Concubine Duanrong stood up. Under her beautiful eyebrows, her beautiful eyes were as moist as water. She said softly: "Sister, how are you doing there, Your Majesty?"
"I've already fallen asleep after drinking ginseng tea." Empress Song said softly under her shaving eyebrows, her beautiful eyes filled with water.
"Mom." At this moment, the twins who were playing together turned around, stretched out their chubby little hands, and called sweetly.
It made Empress Song look like she was about to turn into a cute girl. She quickly followed over, picked up a pair of twins, and said softly: "Have you missed your mother?"
The twins' voices were cute and soft, and they said: "I want to."
Concubine Duanrong said angrily: "How long has it been since we last met?"
Queen Song smiled and kissed each of the two children.
Then, he turned to look at Princess Xianning and said softly: "Just now your father said that he issued an imperial edict to summon your husband to come back from Shengjing. He should be able to come back before the year."
As soon as these words came out, Princess Xianning's bright and rose-colored face could be seen overflowing with joy, and she said: "Queen Mother, your husband is really coming back."
Empress Song's beautiful face, with dark green eyebrows and beautiful eyes as bright as water, said softly: "Such a big thing happened in Beijing, how can it be okay if he doesn't come back?"
Princess Xianning nodded, with a look of longing in her eyes.
Song Yan and Li Chanyue, who were sitting on the embroidered pier at the bottom, were equally happy. They looked at each other and saw anticipation in each other's eyes.
Brother Heng is coming back.
Concubine Duanrong licked her pink lips and said softly: "Beijing has been in chaos recently. Let Ziyu come back and arrest all the bad guys when you see him."
After all, he is his son-in-law, so this noble concubine still feels a little distressed. In addition, his daughter is pregnant, so the work is divided so much.
However, this mother-in-law obviously has a somewhat innocent and cute temperament under her fierce, cold and beautiful appearance.
…
…
Liaodong, Shengjing City——
After entering the winter month of the 19th year of Chongping, the sky was covered with clouds, and snowflakes were already flying in succession. The snow was white and covered with silver, and the sky and the earth were boundless.
During this period, Mu Sheng, the crown prince of Dongping County, left Shengjing City and led the Korean coalition forces back to Wangjing City in North Korea.
In the hall——
Jia Heng was wearing a mink fur coat at the moment. His face was calm, and he was standing around a small stove with a purple clay pot. He stretched out his hands around the stove, facing the flame in the stove, and gently warming himself.
There was nothing official this day, so it was rare for me to feel relaxed.
Chen Xiao held a blue and white porcelain tea cup and gently smelled the aroma of tea. Then she put her two pink lips on the porcelain cup and took a sip. She felt the aroma of tea lingering and pleasant.
Jia Heng stared at Chen Xiao, sighed, and said, "It's snowing now."
In fact, something has happened with Emperor Chongping. If he stays in Liaodong, it will be of little use. On the contrary, it will not be conducive to controlling the situation in Beijing.
Chen Xiao turned to look at the boy in the python suit and said with emotion: "It's quite cold in Liaodong today."
Jia Heng nodded and said: "It's a bitter cold place, but the minks here are quite warm."
Under Chen Xiao's beautiful eyebrows, her clear eyes flashed brightly, and she was about to speak.
At this moment, a Jinyi palace guard came quickly, stepped into the hall, cupped his fists and said: "Captain, there are angels coming from Shenjing, they are outside the hall right now."
Jia Heng raised his eyes and looked at Chen Xiao standing aside.
Chen Xiao raised her eyebrows and whispered, "I'll go with you."
Jia Heng nodded and quickly left the back house and headed to the hall in the front yard.
The young eunuch who delivered the order and several guards were warming themselves by the fire, their faces flushed with cold. When they heard the voice of "The Duke of Wei has arrived!", they all followed the sound and looked around.
Jia Heng entered the hall, and Chen Xiao followed closely behind him.
"Gong Wei, accept the order!" The young eunuch stood up, looked solemn, and said.
"Wei Chen received the order." Jia Heng came closer and said.
"Fengtian Chengyun Emperor..."
As the shrill voice of the young eunuch resounded in the hall, the main idea of the imperial edict was also known to Jia Heng, that is, the evil in the capital had committed evil acts, alarmed the emperor, and urgently summoned Jia Heng to return to the capital immediately.
Jia Heng came forward to receive the imperial edict, looked at the young eunuch, and said warmly: "My father-in-law has been working hard all the way. We have prepared wine and food in the house. Please go to the next door to talk about it."
The young eunuch had a prosperous smile on his face and said: "Mr. Wei, your Majesty is pressing the matter urgently. Mr. Wei must pack up and set off on another day."
Jia Heng nodded and said, "Grandpa, don't worry."
After sending the young eunuch away, Chen Xiao looked at Jia Heng and said softly: "Will you set off tomorrow?"
Jia Heng said softly: "I will temporarily hand over the military power here to Xie Zaiyi and King Beijing."
Chen Xiao nodded and said softly: "That's fine."
Jia Heng glanced at the snowflakes covering the palace and brick walls in the courtyard, his eyes were dazed, and he whispered: "The world is so troubled."
The emperor urgently called him back, indicating that his injury was serious and he was no longer worried about him leading the troops outside. As for when he returned, he would probably be knighted.
These things are nothing to worry about.
Not long after, King Beijing apparently also learned the news that Jia Heng had received the imperial edict. As he spoke, accompanied by several retinues, he said: "Zi Yu, has the imperial edict just arrived from the capital?"
Jia Heng looked solemn and said loudly: "There is an emergency in the capital, and the Holy One sent someone to call me back."
Because Emperor Chongping was attacked at the Ancestral Temple, which was classified as a secret of the imperial court, he had previously only used the flying pigeon system of Jinyi Mansion to fly to Shengjing where Jia Heng was.
Beijing Wang Shuirong looked at the boy in the python suit and said, "Will Ziyu lead the army back this time?"
Jia Heng said: "We only have a small number of cavalry. The military affairs here still need to be handled by the prince and Marquis Zhongqin."
Wang Shuirong of Beijing said: "I have been away from home for more than half a year, and I also want to go back for a visit during the New Year. Why don't we go back together? It just so happens that I report to the court."
When Jia Heng heard this, his heart couldn't help but move.
If he and Beijing Wang Shuirong go back together, then the more than 100,000 troops in Liaodong will be under the control of Xie Zaiyi, which to a certain extent can be regarded as an insurance.
Because of the identity of the King of Beijing, it was impossible to bypass him and entrust all the army to his cronies. Now that the King of Beijing took the initiative, it was another matter.
Jia Heng nodded and said softly: "That's fine."
As the situation in the capital became confusing, he had to make preparations in advance, or at least have some ability to protect himself.
Jia Heng still doesn't know that Emperor Chongping has adjusted the personnel of Jinyi Mansion and placed Qiu Liang in the position of commander of Jinyi Mansion.
If you knew this, you would be surprised.
If it weren't for the fact that King Zhongshun had been defeated and passed away, it would have been a repeat of the Jia family's defeat in the original work.
After the two men finished their discussion, King Beijing also said goodbye and left.
Jia Heng silently went to the back hall with Chen Xiao, and the two sat down.
Chen Xiao said softly: "Once King Beijing leaves, Xie Zaiyi will mainly be in charge of the troops here."
Jia Heng looked deeply and said softly: "It is beyond the reach of the whip, and its effect is limited. It is mainly a deterrent."
There is also the Beijing Camp in the capital. Although he will probably be ignored after he returns, many of the soldiers in the Beijing Camp are also his old troops.
Things like prestige and people's hearts are often intangible wealth.
Chen Xiao said: "I don't think it's that far yet."
"It's hard to say how the old dragon's temperament has changed on the sick bed." Jia Heng said with clear eyes flashing.
Human nature is dynamic and changing, especially a generation of emperors who were known for being mean and unkind. Before they died, they were quite crazy. If they really wanted to take him away, he would have no choice but to stare blankly.
It is just one more sentence than the ancient history: "The Duke of Wei was killed, and the world was unjust."
He doesn't even have this sentence, and all kinds of dirty information and accusations about his arrogance, lewdness, and arrogance can be pinned on his head.
After all, his private life is indeed somewhat chaotic.
These tactics that he once used to defile himself may even become his own talisman.
Chen Xiao stepped forward, gently took the young man's hand, and said: "It shouldn't go to that step unless someone knows about your matter."
Jia Heng's face was already filled with black lines at this moment. Facing those mocking eyes that seemed to be smiling but not smiling, he felt somewhat inexplicable.
This incident is indeed a surprise.
It's the kind that once explodes, the earth will shake.
Chen Xiao looked at the boy in the python suit with half-smiling eyes and said softly: "Are you scared?"
"Can you please stop mentioning this incident?" Jia Heng looked a little unnatural, pinched the beauty's slender crotch, and said in a low voice.
Under Chen Xiao's beautiful willow eyebrows, her clear eyes were sparkling. She chuckled and said, "Do you dare to do it or not?"
It is true that at all times and in all countries, only Lu Buwei, who was a rare commodity, could do such a "great treason", and he did not let the queen of the dynasty get pregnant with twins.
This man is really...
Jia Heng said softly: "Okay, let's go to the back room to talk."
Chen Xiao's frosty face, which was as white as snow, gradually became flushed with a blush. There was a hint of embarrassment in his shining eyes, and he said: "It's broad daylight, just do something."
"It's not that I miss you." Jia Heng gently hugged Chen Xiao's delicate body, whispered into the beauty's ear, and gently picked the big snow pear, feeling that it was already very soft between his palms.
.
Chen Xiao's face, as beautiful as jade, like spring flowers and autumn moon, was as hot as fire, and gradually a beautiful, rosy blush appeared.
We are already an old married couple, yet they are so shameless, it's like honey mixed with oil.
However, a sweet feeling welled up in the beauty's heart.
In the wing room, above the wooden window grille, two curtains tied with golden hooks suddenly fell down.
The two of them sat hugging each other. Jia Heng gently held the plump and soft body of the beauty, and said to her ear: "Does Ruo Qing and your master have any news?"
The beauty's clear and frosty face was already as red as drunkenness. She relaxed her frowning eyebrows and said softly: "I haven't had any letters lately."
