Chapter 1482 King Wei: Everyone in the world knows that the King of Chu is the crown prince. This is a righteous title...
Rongguo Mansion, Daoxiang Village
After Mrs. Wang left, the scent of sandalwood rose and the room fell into an eerie silence for a while.
Jia Heng took one of Li Wan's arms, stared at the gentle and plump face, and asked: "Sister-in-law Wan, it's okay, don't be sad anymore, please be careful not to have fetal force."
Mrs. Wang's sudden attack this time was actually reasonable.
After Li Wan became pregnant with the child, it was impossible not to arouse a little suspicion from others during the ten-month pregnancy period.
Li Wan nestled his baby head in Jia Heng's arms, feeling the relief of his man, and a sweetness filled his heart.
Sister Feng frowned, as if she was a little dissatisfied, and said: "This second wife is really going to attack her with a gun and a stick, which makes people feel angry."
When she has a child, she will never be able to raise and give birth in the house.
Jia Heng looked at Li Wan with pity and whispered: "Sister-in-law Wan, this will never happen again in the future."
Li Wan said "hmm", nestled his head in the arms of the boy in the python suit, and asked curiously: "Ziyu, how did you convince the second wife just now?"
Jia Heng said: "It's just a matter of profit and emotion. From now on, whenever someone asks you who the child in your belly is, don't tell the truth. As long as the matter is not made explicit, there is always an explanation."
But don’t worry, this matter won’t cause a storm in the city.”
This sounds a bit irresponsible, but it is indeed the best way to save Li Wan and the baby.
Li Wan's face paused slightly, his eyes were warm, and he said: "Zi Yu, don't worry, the second wife just pressed me again and again, but I didn't say a word."
Jia Heng looked at Li Wan with warm eyes and said, "Okay, I won't feel wronged anymore."
Maybe the beauty is pregnant and her mind is weak, so Li Wan's pear blossoms and rain are not particularly beautiful at this moment.
Sister Feng smiled and said, "It's getting dark now. Brother Heng, it's time for dinner."
After all the fuss before, it was indeed time to turn on the lamps. The sky outside was dim and the sun was not visible, but the maids everywhere had already started to light the candles one after another with their handbags.
There are lanterns under the eaves, and the orange lanterns can be seen shaking constantly, swaying circles of light and shadow.
Jia Heng stared at Li Wan and said, "Sister-in-law Wan, let's have dinner together."
Li Wan said: "You and Feng Yatou can just eat, and I can just drink a bowl of rice porridge."
Jia Heng didn't insist much. He and Sister Feng sat beside the table, had dinner, and without lingering much, left Daoxiang Village and headed to Qichiyuan.
Qichiyuan——
Lanterns are hung on the eaves of the corridor, and the bright lights are on. The flickering orange candlelight is reflected on the window lattice, and two slender or graceful figures can be seen projected on the screen.
It was Zhen Lan and Zhen Xi who were looking at the looks of the princess uniforms and royal imperial uniforms delivered by the female officials of the Zongren Mansion.
Except for some imperial clothing that mark the grade, other patterns and patterns can be customized by the owner of imperial clothing.
Ya Ruo now sat next to Zhen Lan and said, "Sister Lan is also a princess now."
"She's not the princess, she's the concubine." Zhen Lan is slender and beautiful, with wisps of joy in her bright eyebrows, and her voice seems a little delicate and inexplicable.
Although two days had passed, Zhen Lan still felt that she was inexplicably surprised and could not calm down the turbulent emotions in her heart.
While several people were talking, they heard a young man in a python suit walking quickly into the hall and said, "Sister Lan, sister Xi'er, it's so late, why haven't you slept yet?"
Zhen Lan had a prosperous smile on her face and asked: "Brother Heng, are you here?"
Jia Heng said: "Sister Lan'er, I just came to see you and sister Xi'er."
With that said, he came closer, took Zhen Lan's delicate hand, and asked: "Sister Lan'er, has the list of jade spies been delivered to the clan's mansion?"
Zhen Lan had a bright smile on her jade face, and under her willow eyebrows, with a hint of attachment in her bright eyes, she said: "Brother Heng, the list of jade spies from the Zongren Mansion has been delivered."
Jia Heng nodded slightly and said, "That's good. After the New Year, we will have to worship our ancestors, and then we will wear the imperial makeup and clothes."
Zhen Lan's eyebrows were lowered, her heart was filled with joy and sweetness, and she responded quietly.
At this moment, Ya Ruo came close enough, gently pinched Jia Heng's shoulders with her bare hands, and said, "Brother Heng, let me rub your shoulders."
Jia Heng smiled and said: "Ya Ruo, I was just saying that my shoulders are tired."
In fact, today has been a busy day, and I don't have much interest in spending time with sisters Lanxi and Yaruo.
Zhen Lan said: "Brother Heng, now there is a lot of public opinion in Beijing's science and technology education, saying that the eighth prince Chen Ze will be appointed as the heir apparent. What does Brother Heng think?"
Jia Heng shook his head and said: "This matter will not be approved by the palace."
Under Zhen Lan's beautiful eyebrows, she whispered: "Why?"
A look of thought appeared on Jia Heng's face, and he said: "The young king ascended the throne and oversaw the affairs of the country. He has no moral reputation and talents, and it is difficult to control the court situation. It is inevitable to choose ministers who care about fate, and his relatives will be in charge of the government. If this continues, the country will not be able to control the government."
disturbed."
The relatives are not only the Song family, but also him.
Because starting from Xianning, he can be regarded as a relative of the Tian family, and he is the most suspected of "usurping the throne".
Zhen Lan nodded her head and said: "In this case, with the brother-in-law of the King of Chu as the reserve, in the future, we will definitely rely on Brother Heng to support military aircraft internally and help with external expeditions."
Jia Heng said loudly: "Not necessarily. It may have been the case when he took the throne, but as time has passed, it is hard to say."
Under Zhen Lan's beautiful eyebrows, her bright eyes as bright as rainbows blinked, and she said with a smile: "That's right, the emperor's mind is like this."
I am afraid that if the brother-in-law of the King of Chu were to know that his sister and Brother Heng had given birth to twins, the brother-in-law of the King of Chu would also be frightened and angry.
Thinking of this, Zhen Lan felt a little strange and inexplicable.
However, after the King of Chu's brother-in-law became the emperor, the eldest sister became the queen, and she will also be the queen in the future. Their Zhen family has two queens.
Jia Heng turned around, put his arm around Zhen Lan's shoulders, and said with a smile: "Lan'er, what are you thinking about, so lost in thought?"
Zhen Lan said: "I didn't expect anything. Brother Heng really just watched the King of Chu ascend the throne."
Jia Heng was startled for a moment and said, "What else?"
After thinking about it, he took Zhen Lan's bare hand, hugged the beauty in his arms, and said, "Don't be impatient for a moment, just wait quietly."
Zhen Lan raised her face as beautiful as frost, her bright eyes as bright as rainbows full of infatuation, and said, "No matter what, Brother Heng and I will always be together."
Jia Heng patted Ya Ruo's hand gently, squeezed Ya Ruo's hand on his shoulder, and said, "Okay, it's getting late, let's rest early."
Ya Ruo's eyes lit up and she said: "Brother Heng, I will help you change your clothes."
Jia Heng laughed dumbly and said, "Brother Heng wants to have a good rest today."
"Oh." After hearing this, Ya Ruo trimmed her eyebrows and her bright eyes became extremely gloomy.
Then, there was no more conversation all night.
…
…
next day
Early in the morning, Jia Heng finished breakfast and went to Jinyang Princess's mansion instead of spending more time in the mansion.
Because Song Yan had previously promised to go to the Song family to return to Ning. In fact, at this time, if he went to the Song family, he would inevitably be questioned by Song Jing.
Jinyang Princess Mansion——
In the backyard, in a side room covered with wallpaper, Li Chanyue and Song Yan sat in front of the dressing table, dressing up in front of the diamond-shaped bronze mirror.
At this moment, a maid walked into the hall and said with a smile: "Princess Princess, Miss Song, Prince Wei is here."
Li Chanyue seemed to have an inexplicable expression of joy on her face. She put down the jade earrings in her hands and said in an inexplicable tone of joy: "Cousin Yan'er, Mr. Jia is here."
Shaoqing saw the young man in python suit entering the side room with a warm smile and said: "Chanyue, Yan'er, let's go."
Originally it was just Song Yan's Guining, but Li Chanyue had nothing to do at home, so she went with her.
While Li Chanyue and Song Yan were talking, they boarded the carriage accompanied by Jia Heng.
Jia Heng was currently sitting on the horse, escorting the carriage with several servants, heading towards the Song family located in the south lane of Shenjing City.
At this moment, Li Chanyue opened the bamboo curtain hanging down from one side of the carriage and turned to look at the rows of houses on the streets on both sides.
In this way, after walking for about a quarter of an hour, accompanied by the neighing of the carriage horses, the streets and houses on both sides quickly disappeared.
Immediately, a carriage with high shafts opened the curtain, and Li Chanyue took Song Yan's slender hand and, accompanied by Jia Heng, walked along the stone steps to the front door of the Song family.
At this moment, Song Jing had already led a group of old servants to greet him from the courtyard wall, and said with a smile: "Ziyu is here, Yan'er."
"Daddy~" At this moment, Song Yan called out sweetly with a bright smile like a little girl's face.
Jia Heng's calm face was also covered with a prosperous smile, and he said softly: "Father-in-law."
Song Jing asked: "Chanyue, are you here now?"
Li Chanyue quickly stepped forward, saluted and said, "I've met my uncle."
Song Jing smiled and said: "Chan Yue is here too, come to the room to talk."
Amidst the greetings, Jia Heng, Li Chanyue, and Song Yan entered the courtyard of the Song family, came to the hall, and sat down.
Wait for the servant to serve you some fragrant tea, and then retreat slowly.
Jia Heng picked up the blue and white porcelain tea cup and took a sip.
Song Jing smiled and said, "Ziyu, Yan'er's mother is waiting for you two to come over to Guining."
Jia Heng said politely: "I have been too busy before, and now I have some free time. I feel ashamed to say that."
"It is true that Ziyu has always been in charge of national affairs." Song Jing changed the topic and suddenly asked: "Ziyu, the King of Wei still has many questions that he wants to ask Ziyu."
Jia Heng looked surprised and said, "What doubts can the prince have?"
At this moment, Song Yan looked at the boy in the python suit with worry.
Song Jing asked: "Zi Yu, can you lend me a moment to speak?"
Jia Heng looked at Li Chanyue on the side with warm eyes and said: "Chanyue, you and Yan'er go to the backyard first."
Under Li Chanyue's brows, her voice was charming and inexplicable, and she said: "Mr. Xiao Jia, go ahead."
Jia Heng and Song Jing turned to the study room on the side. At this moment, they were seated as guest and host. The servant served them tea, and then, without saying a word, they bowed and left.
Jia Heng said: "Master Yue Zhang, please make your intentions clear."
Song Jing nodded and said: "Zi Yu, now that the Holy One wants to depose the direct descendant and establish a concubine, Zi Yu is in front of the Holy One, why doesn't he stop it with advice?"
Jia Heng said: "This... the matter of establishing the crown prince is under the control of the emperor. Even if I want to interrupt, I will be ignored."
Song Jing looked at him with burning eyes under his brows and said: "Zi Yu is a confidant of the Holy Emperor, who can talk lightly?"
Jia Heng was silent for a moment and said: "As for the establishment of a prince in the East Palace, which involves the great affairs of the country, I am a general and a relative. If I say a few words, I will be suspected by the government and the public. It is better to protect myself wisely and with the dignity of the prince, I can fight with him."
We have the same country, so why bother getting involved in such an important matter?"
Song Jing frowned and said: "Zi Yu's words are a bit disappointing to the Holy Master's cultivation and grace. People like Zi Yu should always have the thought of helping the country."
Jia Heng said: "Your Majesty is the wise king of the world. Since your Holy Heart is interested in the candidates for the East Palace, it is not easy for us and the officials to comment."
"Once the King of Chu ascends the throne, he will be narrow-minded and may not be able to accommodate a talented person like Zi Yu." Song Jing shook his head and said.
Jia Heng said: "It's hard to say about this matter."
Can King Wei tolerate him after he ascends the throne?
When he and Tian Niuer hang out together for a long time, there is no airtight wall in the world, and eventually the news will reach the ears of King Wei, who will also fall out and be ruthless at that time.
It can't be said to be worse than Fulin's treatment of Dorgon.
"The King of Wei has no heir, which is not conducive to the continuity of the country." Jia Heng was silent for a moment, considering the words in his words, and whispered.
Under Song Jing's gray brows, she stared at the young man in the python suit and asked: "What does Ziyu think of the sudden rise of public opinion in the capital today about the eighth prince?"
"The Eighth Prince is indeed smart, astute, elegant and honest. Perhaps the Holy Emperor did it because it was inconvenient for the young prince to take over the throne at court," Jia Heng said.
Song Jing said: "You are not young anymore. You are already twelve or thirteen years old. You can hardly be called a young king."
If the eighth prince ascends the throne, the Song family will still be relatives of the emperor.
Jia Heng said: "Yes, it's just that the Holy One also has His Majesty's considerations, so this matter will not be allowed."
Song Jing's eyes were full of expectation and enthusiasm, and she said loudly: "Ziyu, when it comes to this, you still want to have a closer relationship with us."
Jia Heng nodded and said: "Although that is said, how can the affairs of the country and the country be allowed to be mixed with personal affairs?"
Song Jing was silent after hearing this.
Jia Heng's eyes darkened slightly and he said: "On this matter, we can only see the Holy One's will. Others cannot violate the Holy Will."
To put it bluntly, Tian Niuer forced him to make a decision, but he actually had no choice but to do so. In other words, even if he wanted to support a new king, he would have to wait until Emperor Chongping died.
King Chu's ascension to the throne was more of a transition.
Not to mention anything else, Zhen Qing is already thinking about burning bridges across the river.
Song Jing looked solemn and said: "Zi Yu, someone from the Queen's side handed over a letter. Kunning Palace and Funing Palace were sealed off by the guards sent by the Holy Emperor."
When Jia Heng heard this, his face paused slightly, and he couldn't help being shocked, and said: "Master Yue Zhang, how could this happen?"
Could it be that Tian Niu'er forced Emperor Chongping to establish the throne of Wei? With Tian Niu'er's "palace fighting" political wisdom, she should not have made such a low-level mistake.
Song Jing had a hint of sigh on his face and said: "The two empresses went to the study room in Hanyuan Hall and begged the Holy One to appoint the Eighth Prince Chen Ze as the East Palace. The Holy See seemed to be furious, so he sent guards to attack the two empresses.
The grounding has not yet spread, otherwise it will definitely cause an uproar."
Jia Heng's expression changed, thinking about the pros and cons.
Tian Niu'er being banned from the palace basically declared Emperor Chongping's firm determination.
King Chu, the East Palace has been established and no one can stay here.
While the two were talking, a maid stood under the eaves of the study room and said to Song Jing and Jia Heng: "Sir, my wife has prepared a luncheon over there, and she has invited you and your uncle to come over."
Jia Heng said: "Master Yue, please go there together."
Song Jing nodded and said nothing else.
While the two were talking, they left the side room.
At this moment, Mrs. Song was sitting down with Song Yan and Li Chanyue, and greeted with a smile: "Come here, let's eat together."
Mrs. Song smiled and said: "Chanyue and Yan'er just went to the back kitchen and cooked by themselves. They made braised lion heads and fried meat with fungus. Come over and use some together."
Jia Heng smiled and joked: "Can Chanyue and Yan'er also cook?"
Li Chanyue's crystal eyes that contained stars and moons blinked, and she said with a chuckle: "I always will, doesn't Brother Heng know?"
Jia Heng said: "When I was at home, I never saw you cooking."
Song Yan smiled, with delicate facial features that resembled Empress Song's, and a bright and charming smile, and said: "Brother Heng is usually not at home, so naturally he has no luck."
Jia Heng said: "When I get back, I can let you two cook well."
Mrs. Song looked at the two small mouths with a pleased face and said, "Okay, let's eat."
Song Jing came quickly and sat down. Everyone gathered around a table to eat. After lunch, Jia Heng and Song Jing sat down to drink tea.
Jia Heng asked: "Fourth Uncle Song has been in Henan for two or three years. He should be back."
Song Jing said: "He has been an official in Kaifeng Prefecture for three years. When he returns to the Ministry of Personnel to report on his duties in the spring next year, he should be able to transfer his term. How far he will go in the future remains to be seen."
If the King of Chu succeeds to the throne, he will inevitably eliminate the influence of the King of Wei and the relatives of the Song family.
Jia Heng nodded and praised: "The fourth uncle of Song Dynasty can be a wise minister of the generation."
Song Jing gave a bitter smile and said: "The fourth brother has a standard imperial examination background. If he had not been a relative of the country, he might have become a famous official. Now that he has experienced this, it will be difficult to achieve anything."
Jia Heng was silent for a moment.
The Song family was quite unjust. Their two daughters entered the palace as concubines, but in the end they gained nothing.
…
…
Two days later, in the blink of an eye, it entered the late winter month. Just after the cabinet issued the imperial edict to activate the Zhen family, the atmosphere in the capital fell into a brief stagnation.
After Emperor Chongping observed what the imperial court had discussed, he issued an edict appointing the King of Chu as the crown prince without giving him any time to react.
In other words, at the last moment of his life, Emperor Chongping used his last prestige to pave the way for the King of Chu. As soon as the edict of canonizing the East Palace was issued, the succession of the King of Chu became legal.
On the contrary, if you delay for a long time, various problems will easily arise.
As soon as this edict came out, the capital seemed like a calm lake, and a big stone was dropped, which immediately caused an uproar on the lake.
In Prince Wei's Mansion, in the study room——
"Click..."
A blue and white porcelain tea cup was thrown to the ground, and the tea soup suddenly splashed out, which represented the anger of King Wei, which was really difficult to restrain.
Wei Wang Chen Ran's face was extremely distorted, and anger was boiling between his eyebrows.
Deng Wei gave some advice and said, "Your Highness, calm down."
Wei Wang Chen Ran's fair face was as gloomy as iron, and he said angrily: "How come your father is forcing you to be alone?"
Song Jing said: "Your Highness, the matter has come to this, there is no use in thinking about anything else. It is better to plan for the future."
Wei Wang Chen Ran asked: "Uncle, what did Jia Ziyu say?"
Song Jing said: "Jia Ziyu only said to follow the palace's will."
When King Chen Ran of Wei heard this, his face seemed to be covered with a thick layer of ice, and he said: "What a Jia Ziyu!"
At this moment, the King of Wei missed his position, and one can imagine the irritability and hostility in his heart.
Especially when I think of the respectful service and courtesy to Jia Heng in the past, not to mention the efforts to bring Princess Xianning and Jia Heng together.
It can be said that King Wei felt a deep sense of "betrayal".
Seeing that Wei Wang Chen Ran's expression was changing, as if he was brewing a violent rage, Song Jing quickly said: "Your Highness, calm down, this matter needs to be discussed in the long run."
The king of Wei said dejectedly: "How can we plan for the long term? The imperial edict for the appointment of the emperor to the East Palace has been issued. The title has been established. Everyone in the world knows that the king of Chu is the prince. This is the righteous title."
