Chapter 1536 Queen Song: Talking now means nothing, right?
Palace Garden, Funing Palace
Empress Song wore a plain dress with wide sleeves and a beautiful bun. Her snow-white skin and unreasonably beautiful hibiscus jade face showed a hint of contemplation.
Concubine Duanrong's willow eyebrows were as curved as daisy. There was hesitation on her face, and she said in a low voice: "Zi Yu can't say much about such a big event, right?"
Empress Song's eyebrows were curved, showing she was happy, and she said in a clear voice: "Except the cabinet, who can restrict him now? Who he wants to be emperor is not a matter of his words?"
Concubine Duanrong frowned her beautiful eyebrows, her beautiful eyes were slightly moist, and whispered: "Even so, he can't do this regardless of the public opinion in the capital, right?"
Empress Song snorted coldly, her cold eyes under her eyebrows filled with water, and said coldly: "That is his own business."
This tone is somewhat similar to the complaints of an old couple.
When Concubine Duanrong heard what this voice said, she was somewhat surprised by the ridicule and intimacy in the tone, but she didn't care.
At this moment, a palace maid from outside entered the palace and whispered: "Your Majesty, Prince Wei is here."
When Queen Song heard this, a look of surprise appeared in her beautiful eyes, and she said in a clear voice: "Let him come in quickly."
Not long after, Jia Heng was seen coming from outside. He was dressed in a black and red satin python suit with gold embroidery. His face was extremely stern. He walked a few steps quickly, raised his hands to Empress Song and saluted, "I see you, I am here."
If you live longer than the Queen, she will live a thousand years."
Under the slender willow eyebrows of the Empress of the Song Dynasty, her eyes were soft and charming, and she said: "Ziyu, Pingshen."
At this moment, Empress Song's attitude was undoubtedly much better than before.
Jia Heng said warmly: "Thank you, empress."
Concubine Duanrong took over the words of Empress Song. Under her slender eyebrows, her beautiful eyes were filled with concern, and she said, "Ziyu, how is it in Xianning?"
Jia Heng said: "I'm still in confinement now. I usually have Chanyue and Yan'er talking to relieve my boredom. It's not boring at all."
"Where's the child?"
Jia Heng said: "The child is doing well too. He has grown a bit now."
Concubine Duanrong nodded, her beautiful eyes sparkling with a smile, and she said softly: "That's good. When she's older, I can hold her over and let me take a look."
Concubine Duanrong is also the grandmother of Jia Heng's son Jia Zhu, and she is quite concerned about her grandson.
Queen Song's beautiful eyes seemed to be cold, and she said: "Zi Yu, I want to ask you, after the death of the new emperor, how did the previous dynasty discuss these matters?"
Jia Heng looked calm and said: "Mother, regarding this matter, the cabinet has decided to organize the funeral of the new emperor, and nothing else has been said."
"Don't be sloppy with me. I'm asking you, after the death of the new emperor, who should he name as his heir?" Empress Song said with a jade-like face.
Jia Heng was silent for a moment and said: "The cabinet has agreed on this matter. Since the new emperor has established the East Palace, the son of the new emperor should take over the throne."
Queen Song: "..."
What did you say? How did you promise me in the first place? Now you don't mean what you say, right?
Empress Song stood on her head with her willow eyebrows, her beautiful eyes contained a hint of coldness, and she said coldly: "Jia Ziyu, what did you say at the beginning? How come the son of the new emperor succeeded to the throne of the East Palace?"
Jia Heng nodded and said softly: "Empress, since the new emperor has the East Palace, the ministers should support the East Palace and succeed to the throne. The ministers should not change it without authorization."
"You are the minister who cares about life. Isn't it just a word?" Empress Song said softly.
Jia Heng cupped his hands and said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, please lend me a moment."
Concubine Duanrong frowned and thought to herself, is there anything else that cannot be said in front of her?
Jia Ziyu, who is the real mother-in-law?
Empress Song paused for a moment, nodded her head, as beautiful as a waterfall, and asked: "Tell me, tell me, what is going on?"
With that said, he got up from his seat and walked towards the Nuan Pavilion in the side hall.
Queen Song's face was as frosty as ice, and her eyes flickered under her curved eyebrows.
This little fox, she originally wanted to put on mourning clothes and serve him once, but now it seems that she really misjudged him.
While Jia Heng was speaking, he also stood up, quickly left the embroidered pier, and followed Empress Song towards the side hall.
At this moment, in the warm pavilion of the side hall, Empress Song was sitting on a soft couch with a short kang table, her face paused slightly, and she whispered: "Jia Ziyu, what is going on?"
Jia Heng's face paused slightly, and he stared at the fair-skinned beauty, and said, "Madam, please be patient. The new emperor has just passed away, and this is a time when the whole court is in panic."
Empress Song, with her willow eyebrows as beautiful as daisy, looked at Jia Heng sharply, and whispered: "Why did you agree to this palace in the first place?"
Jia Heng nodded and said warmly: "Your Majesty, this matter has to wait for a while. The situation in the court is currently in turmoil and it is not appropriate to make a big move."
Queen Song's Liu Ye raised her slender eyebrows, and a cold light shone in her charming eyes. She said in a quiet voice, "Are you trying to prevaricate me again?"
Jia Heng said: "My queen, please be patient and don't be impatient."
With that said, before Jia Heng could say anything else, Queen Song came quickly, put her arms around Jia Heng's neck, approached the young man in the python suit, and said in a deep voice: "You are lying to me again."
"Where did your Majesty start talking about this? Why did I lie to your Majesty?" Jia Heng was speechless and said in a deep voice.
The Empress of Song Dynasty, with her eyebrows as dark as black and beautiful eyes as narrow and clear as day, said: "If you dare to deceive me, I will bite you to death."
As he spoke, he bit Jia Heng's neck. At this moment, the beauty bared her teeth and claws.
Jia Heng's face paused slightly, and he gently pulled the beauty's plump, soft body, and whispered: "Your Majesty, please don't let Concubine Rong see you."
Empress Song snorted coldly, a look of embarrassment appeared on her unreasonably beautiful crystal jade face, she seemed to spat lightly, and said angrily: "When you occupied this palace in Taihu Lake, why didn't you tell Concubine Rong not to let her go?"
The queen saw it."
Where was the energy that this little fox used to cling to her about? Now he dislikes her.
Men are like this. After a woman has a child, she changes from before.
An inexplicable look appeared on Jia Heng's face and he said, "What are you talking about, Madam? Madam, for the sake of our children, we should make more preparations."
Empress Song's delicate face showed a look of shame and annoyance, and asked: "As long as you know it is your child, what do you think we should do?"
Jia Heng felt strange for a moment and thought to himself, Tian Niu'er might not know that Zhen Qing's child is also his.
Jia Heng thought for a while and said with relief: "This matter cannot be rushed. Besides, there is no suitable opportunity now."
Empress Song was still not put off by Jia Heng's words and asked: "Then when is the right time?"
Jia Heng asked: "Have you forgotten about the new emperor?"
Empress Song was stunned for a moment. Under her beautiful willow eyebrows, her beautiful eyes blinked, and there was a hint of thoughtfulness in her eyes.
At the beginning, Jia Heng agreed to the new emperor, but not long after, the new emperor was assassinated and died.
Empress Song's face paused slightly, and under her beautifully trimmed eyebrows, her beautiful eyes were slightly moist, like dew, and she whispered: "The assassination of the concubine was your handiwork?"
Jia Heng lowered his voice and said: "Walls have ears, please don't talk nonsense like this."
Empress Song's white jade cheeks were stained with crimson. The elegant and straight Qiong nose snorted, hugged the neck of the boy in the python suit, and suddenly came close to Jia Heng's lips, greedily and wantonly asking for it.
Jia Heng put his arms around Queen Song's slender shoulders, and a look of thoughtfulness appeared on her calm face.
After a while, under the sunlight shining through the carved window grille, a crystalline silk thread could be seen flickering.
Empress Song, with her long and curved eyebrows and clear, beautiful eyes, asked, "Were those civil servants in the previous dynasty easy to deal with?"
Jia Heng's face paused slightly, and he said softly: "Currently, the two sides are living in harmony, and there is no such thing as any discord."
Empress Song looked serious and warned: "These civil servants must not be allowed to take control of power."
Jia Heng nodded, held the beauty's waist slightly downward, seemed to be caressing the plump and round curves, and whispered: "Don't worry, Madam."
Empress Song felt the hesitation of the boy in the python suit, and his face, as white as snow, turned red with shame, and said softly: "Stop making trouble, be careful and let outsiders see."
Jia Heng stopped teasing Empress Song and sat on the embroidered pier aside, staring at Empress Song's elegant face.
Under the beautiful willow eyebrows of Queen Song, her charming eyes seemed to be full of joy, and she said: "Zi Yu, you must firmly control the military power in the outer court. As long as the military power is in hand, those civil servants will
You will definitely not be able to turn it out of your palm."
??????55.??????
Jia Heng smiled and said in a low voice: "Don't worry, Madam, I know all this."
Empress Song's willow eyebrows were as curved as a crescent moon, her beautiful eyes were as bright as water, and she looked at the young man in the python suit, secretly thinking that she knew he was such a scheming person.
Jia Heng picked up the tea cup on the side, took a small sip, and said softly: "Mother, how are Qianqian and Luoer lately?"
Seeing Jia Heng mentioning her twin twins, Empress Song's face, which resembled the beauty of the country and the fragrant peonies, burst into a happy and sweet smile and said: "Don't the two of them eat and sleep every day?"
, play when you wake up, and sleep when you are tired from playing.”
Jia Heng said softly: "Your Majesty, I need to take more care of you."
Empress Song said: "My presence in the Kunning Palace is like being banned. You now control the military and political power of the government and the public. I heard that you have taken over the power of the Sixth Palace, so that the Zhen family is no longer bossing around in the palace."
Jia Heng nodded and said, "Don't worry, Madam, I will remind her."
Empress Song's face was bright, her eyes were full of smiles, and she said softly: "You can bring Xianning here more often, and it will be more lively here."
As she said that, the beauty then thought of something again. The soft and soft voice was inevitably delicate and delicate, and there was a touch of unspeakable shame in those shining beautiful eyes, and she said: "Moreover, I
It would be too cramped and cramped to live in a palace by myself, and to be crowded together in Funing Palace... Besides, I am worried about this and that when I meet you."
Jia Heng raised his eyebrows and said in a low voice: "We should really pay more attention to this matter."
Empress Song said: "Isn't it time for the title of Empress Dowager to be given the title of Queen Mother over there in the previous court?"
Jia Heng nodded and said warmly: "After all, your Majesty made a mistake before. As for the title of Queen Mother, we can only wait until the new emperor in the East Palace succeeds to the throne to honor your Majesty."
Empress Song trimmed her eyebrows and looked fixedly at the boy in the python suit. She snorted and said in a low voice: "Actually, I am quite curious about something."
Jia Heng put down the tea cup in his hand, feeling a little surprised and said, "It's okay if you say so."
Empress Song stared at Jia Heng with burning eyes, not missing any change in her expression, and suddenly asked: "Are the twins born to Mrs. Zhen your son?"
Jia Heng: "..."
As expected, Tian Niuer began to doubt.
In fact, how rare things like dragon and phoenix twins are available to everyone?
After all, Tian Niu'er is the king who emerged from a deep palace battle and female competition, so how could she guess the whole story?
In fact, Empress Song had always known about Jia Heng's romantic and lustful nature. If it had been before the assassination of the new emperor, Empress Song would not have had much suspicion.
But now that the new emperor was assassinated, and Jia Heng did not immediately push Chen Luo to become the East Palace, this naturally aroused the suspicion of Empress Song.
So some of the previous suspicions are now 70% to 80% confirmed.
Jia Heng was silent for a moment.
Empress Song raised her beautiful eyebrows, a dangerous light flashed in her charming eyes, and said coldly: "Why, are you letting me get it right?"
Jia Heng raised his stern eyebrows, his eyes flickered, and he said in a low voice: "The empress is joking, how could such a thing happen?"
At this time, it is obvious that it cannot be admitted.
Empress Song snorted coldly and said: "I don't believe it! How can there be so many twins in the world? Others say that it is the blood of the Chen Han clan that has such happy events as dragons and phoenixes. But others don't know that I still have twins.
Don’t you know? Tell yourself, should you make the Zhen family’s son your heir, or should you make my son the emperor?”
Jia Heng's face was slightly dull and he explained: "This is not what you think."
Between these two options, can't the third option be to let him become the emperor himself?
But this kind of idea, even if it is facing a sweet girl, it is not appropriate to express it verbally for the time being.
Empress Song raised her eyebrows, and her beautiful eyes with a hint of coldness suddenly glanced at Jia Heng coldly, and said in a low voice: "Anyway, no matter what, my child will be the emperor in the future."
Jia Heng suddenly felt confused.
Tian Niuer wants her child to be the emperor, Zhen Qing also wants her child to be the emperor, and the Holy Mother White Lotus also wants Ke Qing's son to be the emperor.
When the time comes, will there really be an emperor per capita? That will make people feel distraught.
Then we really need to expand outwards, divide the land and enfeoff various vassals. The so-called problems encountered in development often need to be solved in development.
Jia Heng looked around and said to him, "Let's go out so that Concubine Rong won't get suspicious later."
Empress Song didn't say much. She looked closely at the boy in the python suit and said firmly: "Don't forget what you promised me before."
He needs to mention it to Mopan. The fight in the harem should not be too outrageous.
In other words, Mopan should stop using any poisonous means to compete for favors. These need to be prevented in advance.
While the two were talking, they left the back hall and came to the front hall.
At this moment, Concubine Duanrong was teasing Luo Er, and when she saw the two of them, there wasn't much in her eyes that looked strange.
Because Jia Heng and Empress Song did not stay together for long.
"Ziyu, it's almost midnight now. It's not too late to finish lunch here before leaving." Princess Duanrong's Cuili eyebrows raised, her watery eyes flickered, and she whispered.
Jia Heng said: "Back to the Queen, I have to go to Kunning Palace."
Concubine Duanrong nodded her head, her eyes sparkling, and said: "Then I won't keep you for now."
As Jia Heng spoke, he left Funing Palace.

Palace Garden, Wuying Hall
After the new emperor was assassinated, Li Zan and Gao Zhongping simply stayed in the side hall of Wuying Palace to attend to the state funeral and mourn the new emperor.
Li Zan was now wearing a heavy filial piety robe, his eyes were solemn under his thin pine eyebrows, and in his hand was a memorial from the imperial censor.
On top of that, he impeached Jia Heng, the king of Wei County, for being arbitrary and tyrannical, allocating soldiers and horses in the Beijing camp and Jinyi Mansion guards without authorization, and appointed his own cronies to serve as the military commanders of the five cities.
Gao Zhongping looked surprised and said: "What's wrong with Yuan Fu?"
Li Zan's eyebrows were slightly furrowed, his gaze was deep, his face was as solemn as iron, and he said in a deep voice: "Look at this memorial to impeach the Duke of Wei."
Gao Zhongping raised his eyebrows and looked closely. There was a hint of surprise on his resolute and calm face. He took a copy of the memorial, read it, and said: "Transferring to the capital camp is easy to say. Let Dong Qian transfer him.
The Five Cities Military and Horse Division has allowed its trusted and old troops to regain control of the Jinyi Mansion Guards, what happened?"
Li Zan frowned and whispered: "Prince Wei did not discuss this with us."
After all, he is the chief minister of the cabinet, and his political sensitivity has been cultivated to the full level for a long time, so he quickly noticed some signs.
Gao Zhongping was silent for a moment, his eyes flickered, and he said loudly: "Didn't Yuan Fu say before that the prince of Wei County is loyal to the country and has a heart for boxing? I think he has no other intentions."
The current Han Dynasty has actually formed a tacit understanding of mutual restraint between cabinet ministers and Jia Heng. That is, if the cabinet has any major issues, they will discuss them with Jia Heng, and Jia Heng will also respect the cabinet.
Li Zan's eyes were filled with darkness, and he muttered: "Perhaps there is no other intention, I'm just afraid that things will continue like this..."
Over time, it gradually usurped the power of the cabinet and became arbitrary.
Gao Zhongping nodded and said: "You can send a secretary to the cabinet to ask the king of Wei, the commander of Jinyi Mansion and the candidates for the five-city army and horse division. The three yamen cannot be all lumped into one person, especially the Beijing camp, Yuan Fu should be sent
Civilians supervise the army.”
The responsibilities of the Jingying camp, Jinyi Mansion Guards, and the Five Cities Military and Horse Division cannot all fall into the hands of one person.
In addition, there is also the power of palace guards, which is the key to dethroning the monarch.
Li Zan nodded, his eyes flickered, and said: "It's time to ask, but civilian supervisors... this may not be possible."
In fact, this is the first tentative confrontation between the cabinet and Jia Heng to demarcate the boundaries of each other's powers. The cabinet will never be willing to be a puppet.
Military power must be shared before it is possible to fight against each other.
Not far away, Lu Jiang, who was also sorting out the memorial, saw this scene and sneered, secretly saying that he had not listened to him a long time ago, and now the King of Wei County has shown himself to be a hero.
