Chapter 1542 Jia Heng: Do I want to deprive the king of the county title? In order to secure the dynasty
Chapter 1541 Jia Heng: Do I still want to deprive myself of the title of the king? To calm the hearts of both the court and the people at home and abroad?
Jinyi Mansion, Imperial Prison
Qiu Liang was taken by several Jinyifu primary school students to the torture room on one side of the prison. There were tables, chairs and other furnishings inside, and various torture instruments were placed on the other side.
Qu Lang sat behind a lacquered wooden table, stared at the disheveled Qiu Liang, his eyes flickered, and he said coldly: "Qiu Liang, you can say it now."
Qiu Liang considered his words carefully and said: "A few days ago, Qiu was assassinated. It was the man from the White Lotus Sect who saved Qiu."
Qu Lang's eyes flickered, he sat upright and said, "Oh?"
I originally thought it was just a frame-up, but Qiu Liang actually colluded with the White Lotus demon. This was really unexpected.
Qiu Liang said loudly: "Qiu later met Chen Yuan, the remnant of King Zhao, and he tried every means to win over Qiu. However, Qiu was an official of the court and had been deeply favored by two generations of emperors. How could he collude with him? His Majesty in the palace was even more so.
He was granted the title of earl for Qiu, how great is the emperor's favor?"
Qu Lang looked fiercely under his sword-shaped eyebrows and said in a cold voice: "But just after you saw the new emperor for the last time, the new emperor was assassinated. You said that you were not ordered by the White Lotus Sect to assassinate the new emperor. Who would?"
letter?"
Qiu Liang said: "There is someone else who plotted to kill the new emperor, but Qiu doesn't know the details. Even if it was the White Lotus demon who did it, they would not tell Qiu."
I'm afraid it was Jia Heng's son who killed him and silenced him when he saw what had happened.
However, it is not appropriate to say such words when facing Jia Heng's lackey.
Qu Lang said coldly: "No matter what, as the commander of the Jinyi Mansion, you were ordered by the late emperor to arrest the White Lotus Demon. Because of his favor, you forgot your own responsibilities and allowed the White Lotus Demon to do evil outside. It is an extremely heinous crime."
Qiu Liang argued anxiously: "Qiu was confused for a moment, but he can cooperate with the Jinyi Mansion to lure the White Lotus Demon out and catch them all in one catch!"
Qu Lang's eyes flashed under his stern eyebrows and he said, "Can you elaborate on this matter, how to lure the White Lotus demon out?"
Qiu Liang thought for a while, then organized his words and told Qu Lang the whole story.
After listening to what Qiu Liang said, Qu Lang looked thoughtful, and immediately called a guard from the Jinyi Mansion to go to Ningguo Mansion to report Jia Heng.
Shenjing City, Ningguo Mansion
Jia Heng and Chen Xiao sat opposite each other across a chess board on an apricot-yellow chessboard. Gu Ruoqing, who was dressed in a green skirt and had a slim and graceful figure, was sitting not far away, helping Jia Heng watch the game.
In the past few days, apart from going to the palace to mourn the new emperor, Jia Heng returned home and played chess with Chen Xiao and Gu Ruoqing for entertainment.
Gu Ruoqing's cool face was a little more bright and pretty than before, and she said softly: "She's going to eat your sidekick."
Jia Heng glanced at Gu Ruoqing, his eyes flickered, and he said with a deep gaze: "A true gentleman who watches chess without speaking, Ruoqing."
Gu Ruoqing seemed to snort, and there seemed to be a hint of coldness in his cold eyes, and said: "You are still a general who commands thousands of troops. You can't even defeat your junior sister. I will give you some advice. You
I don’t appreciate it anymore.”
Jia Heng nodded and said: "Your junior sister is also a master in using weapons, but it's not normal that she can't defeat her."
At this moment, a maid entered the side room through the curtain and said softly to the young man in python suit: "Your Majesty, there is a man outside who claims to be a bachelor of Wuying Palace. He handed over a famous assassin and said that he has something important to see the prince."
Hearing this, Jia Heng looked surprised, looked at Chen Xiao aside, and said warmly: "Here we come."
Apart from Li Zan, there seems to be no other Grand Scholar of Wuyingdian.
Chen Xiaojian raised his eyebrows, his eyes were clear and shining, and he said in a low voice: "Go ahead, I will play this game of chess with my senior sister."
Jia Heng said, got up and walked outside.
At this moment, in the flower hall, Li Zan, the first assistant to the dynasty, was dressed in casual clothes and sat on a red-lacquered nanmu chair with a backrest. He had a slender face and a cup of tea in his hand. He lowered his head and took a sip.
When he raised his eyes, his eyes flickered and he observed the surrounding furnishings.
The Duke's house, furnished with tables, chairs, screens and vases, all carry an indescribable sense of nobility.
If you are already extremely wealthy, why should you seek further?
Don’t you know that when the moon is full, it will be short, and when the water is full, it will overflow?
Li Zan sighed softly in his heart, with a solemn look on his face.
Thinking about how to persuade Prince Wei later.
After a while, footsteps were heard from the eaves outside. After a while, the young man in python suit stepped into the hall. With a calm and resolute face, he saw a prosperous smile as he walked closer and faced him.
He raised his hands and said, "Mr. Li Ge, why don't you say hello in advance when you come here, so that I can open the middle door to greet you in advance."
At this moment, Jia Heng looked at the old man in casual clothes and had some guesses about his purpose.
Li Zan stood up from his seat. He had a facelift and his face was pale. He saluted the young man in the python suit, raised his hands and said, "Prince Wei."
Jia Heng asked: "Mr. Li Ge, are you here this time?"
Li Zan said: "Prince Wei, I am here to discuss the situation of the dynasty with Prince Wei."
Jia Heng's face paused slightly, and his eyes as cold as rainbows were filled with a hint of contemplation, and he said: "This is not the place to talk. I would like Mr. Li Ge to come to the study and have a talk."
Li Zan got up and walked towards the study while the two of them were talking.
In the study, Jia Heng and Li Zan were seated as guests and host respectively. The servant served them a cup of fragrant tea and then slowly left.
Jia Heng sat down and his eyes were condensed. He looked at Li Zan quietly and asked in surprise: "Mr. Li Ge, are you here this time?"
Li Zan said in a deep voice: "Prince Wei, yesterday, the Queen went to Wuying Hall and mentioned to me and Gao Zhongping that she wanted to confer the title of prince on Prince Wei."
While Li Zan was speaking, he observed the changes in Jia Heng's expression with his eyes, and there was a hint of thinking in his bright eyes.
When Jia Heng heard this, his eyes flickered, his face was slightly surprised, and he said: "I don't know what Mr. Li Ge means by this?"
Li Zan was silent for a moment and said in a deep voice: "Prince Wei wants to be crowned a prince?"
Jia Heng frowned, his eyes flickered, and asked: "What does Mr. Li Ge mean by this? This matter is a matter for the Queen and the cabinet to discuss. Mr. Li Ge asked me what I meant. What can I say?"
Li Zan looked at the young man in the python suit with sharp eyes and said loudly: "Didn't Prince Wei request it from the Queen?"
Jia Heng said: "A famous national weapon should not be given lightly, let alone open your mouth to ask for it? I have indeed never mentioned this matter to the queen."
When Li Zan heard this, there was still a bit of suspicion on his face.
The two fell into silence for a while.
Jia Heng nodded, his eyes flickered, he looked at Li Zan and said, "Mr. Li Ge, is there anything else?"
Li Zan was silent for a moment and said loudly: "Prince Wei, the cabinet has agreed to the Queen's request. When the new emperor succeeds to the throne in a few days, Prince Wei will also be crowned a prince."
When Jia Heng heard this, his expression remained unchanged and he said, "What does Mr. Li Ge mean when you tell me these things?"
Li Zan stared at the young man in python suit opposite him with burning eyes, and said: "I hope Prince Wei can go to Shu to decline."
Jia Heng: "..."
Li Zan, with his thin and pine eyebrows, stared at the boy in python suit across from him, and said loudly: "Since the founding of our country, no prince with a different surname has ever appeared. Everyone in the court and the public is suspicious of this, and Prince Wei is all worried about it."
"Chixin, we and all the cabinet ministers all know it, but the civil and military ministers in the government and the public have many doubts about it."
Jia Heng said warmly: "If I don't make you a prince, won't the government and the public have doubts about it? Or maybe the civil and military ministers in the government and the public will doubt that I will become a prince, so I have to cut off the title of the county prince? To calm the hearts of the government and the people at home and abroad?"
Li Zan's expression changed, and he didn't know how to refute what Jia Heng said.
??????55.??????
Jia Heng's eyes flickered and he whispered: "Who kind of person is Jia? Others don't know, even Mr. Li Ge doesn't know?"
At this moment, under the intense gaze of the young man in python suit, Li Zan began to speak slowly for a moment.
Jia Heng said: "Mr. Li Ge, don't listen to those treacherous words to alienate the generals and prime ministers, otherwise they will be a threat to our country, the Han Dynasty."
When Li Zan heard this, he didn't know what to say for a moment.
Jia Heng's eyes were sincere and he said loudly: "Mr. Li Ge, after the new emperor ascended the throne, he was killed and assassinated. The great man still needs you and me to work together to overcome the difficulties."
After Li Zan heard this, he nodded and said loudly: "What Prince Wei said is true. The Han Dynasty has been a country for hundreds of years. Taizu, Taizong, Renzong, and Xianzong have ruled the world peacefully. The scholars and the people all return to their hearts. How can there be such a thing?"
Did the theft of the artifact happen?"
No matter what, the young man in the python suit has a heavy army in front of him. If he really wants to usurp the throne, people with lofty ideals in the world will definitely join forces to attack.
Of course, these words were also a warning to the young man in the python suit not to act recklessly.
Jia Heng nodded, with a look of righteousness on his face, and said in a deep voice: "If such a thing really happened, Jia would be the first to refuse."
Li Zan's sharp, clear eyes flickered under his thin, pine eyebrows, and he said warmly: "What Prince Wei said is true."
Jia Heng nodded and said: "Mr. Li Ge, we should speed up the completion of Emperor Xianzong's mausoleum. It would be too ominous for two generations of emperors to have their coffins in the same hall together."
Li Zan nodded and said in a low voice: "What Prince Wei said is true. Mr. Qi Ge has recruited many servants in the past few days to speed up the construction of the mausoleum. The mausoleum of Emperor Xianzong will be built during this period."
."
Jia Heng's face paused slightly and he said loudly: "First, Emperor Xianzong should be buried as soon as possible. As for Emperor Guangzong, the construction of the mausoleum should also be accelerated."
It is really outrageous that the coffins of two generations of emperors are parked in the same hall.
However, Emperor Chongping died of illness due to overwork, but it was not considered a violent death, while the new emperor was a bit miserable.
After that, the two talked for a while, and Jia Heng sent Li Zan away and stood under the eaves in front of the study, his expression changing, and he felt incomprehensible for a while.
Li Zan came here this time to test his attitude, or to see some of his thoughts. Although his performance just now did not strictly conform to the character of a noble and upright person, it was still human nature.
After all, he is a prince, so it is difficult to say that he has the ambition to succeed the Han Dynasty.
Jia Heng thought for a while, said nothing, and turned towards Cong Lutang.
At this moment, Chen Xiao and Gu Ruoqing were still playing a game of chess.
Chen Xiao raised his eyebrows, raised his eyes to look at the boy in the python suit, with a look of doubt in his eyes, and said, "What do you say when Li Zan comes over?"
Jia Heng said softly: "I didn't say anything, but I just want me to resign as king of the county. How is this possible?"
Chen Xiao's eyes flickered and he said softly: "I am calling you in the name of righteousness. I want you to be informed and to resign from the title of King of the County."
Jia Heng thought for a while, raised his sword eyebrows, his eyes flickered, and said: "Even if he comes to visit, there is no guarantee that everything will be correct. After a while, the officials of the Ministry of Science and Technology will come out with words of impeachment."
Chen Xiao whispered: "There is no doubt about it."
At this moment, Gu Ruoqing's face paused slightly, nodded, and said loudly: "What are you going to do next?"
Jia Heng said: "Let's wait for the edict prepared by the cabinet in the next few days."
It can be said that the position of prince is already at its peak. As for the addition of Jiuxi, it is unlikely because it is a gift from the emperor and is a precursor to usurping the throne.
Chen Xiao nodded, his eyes paused slightly, and he said warmly: "News just came from Jinyi Mansion. Qiu Liang confessed and was willing to fish out Chen Yuan and others."
Jia Heng raised his eyebrows, his eyes flickered, and he whispered: "No need, let Qu Lang kill him."
As long as Qiu Liang lives, if his affair with two generations of queens is revealed, the harm will be even greater.
As for Chen Yuan, if he wanted to arrest him, it was not impossible for him to do so.
Chen Xiao said warmly: "Then I'll tell someone to do it."
Immediately, he came closer and said softly: "In the past few days, Xie Zaiyi has completely taken control of the Beijing camp, and his soldiers and horses have controlled the defense of Shenjing City."
Jia Heng raised his eyebrows, pondered for a moment, and whispered: "At this point, the overall situation has been decided."
It can be said that the current situation in the court has become a situation where his family is the dominant one. Of course, the civilian cabinet is still restraining him in the name of justice.
On the other side, Jinyi Mansion Prison——
In the torture chamber, there was a clear scene of deep darkness, and the surrounding torture instruments emitted a cold light under the light of the lights.
After Qiu Liang finished talking about his affairs, Qu Lang flew under the sword-shaped eyebrows on his temples, his eyes were deep, and he said loudly: "Come here, let someone mark him."
At this moment, the experienced manager on the side had already recorded in detail what Qiu Liang had just said in his book.
Qiu Liang was leaning over his desk at this moment, pressing his fingers into the red cotton yarn, and then pressing them onto a page of rice paper. A red fingerprint could be seen.
Qiu Liang said softly: "Commander Qu, I can cooperate with Jinyi Mansion to trick Chen Yuan's people out."
Qu Lang frowned, his face paused slightly, and he whispered: "I need to report this matter to Prince Wei."
Qiu Liang couldn't help but report it to Jia Heng's son?
Will Jia Heng’s son let him go? Most likely he won’t let him go!
After all, he knew about Jia Heng's son's biggest scandal, and he had a deep grudge before.
In the midst of Qiu Liang's uneasiness, he heard the sound of footsteps coming from outside the execution room, from far to near, as if every step was stepping on Qiu Liang's heart.
Immediately, a junior high school student in Jinyi wearing Feiyu uniform and an embroidered spring knife came quickly and said: "Command."
As he spoke, he came to Qu Lang's side and whispered a few words into his ear.
Qu Lang's eyes flickered at this moment, he looked at Qiu Liang, with a fierce look in his eyes, and said: "Come here, send Qiu Liang on his way."
Qiu Liang: "..."
Sure enough, the kid didn't want to let him go at all!
Qiu Liang's face was as gloomy as iron, and he said urgently: "Qu Lang, you promised me."
Qu Lang's face was as gloomy as iron, his eyes paused slightly, and he said in a cold voice: "When did this commander promise you? Now that you have confessed, you should be punished."
At this moment, Liu Jixian and two warriors in golden clothes came forward, took a thick hemp rope and put it around Qiu Liang's neck. They exerted force and tightened it.
Qiu Liang's face was ashen, his heart sank to the bottom, and he said urgently: "I want to see Prince Wei, I want to see Prince Wei, and I can also be loyal to him!"
At the end of the sentence, the voice became more and more urgent.
However, Qu Lang sneered and said warmly: "The prince does not take anyone under his wing."
But at this moment, the ropes in the hands of several strong men exhausted their strength and immediately wrapped around Qiu Liang's neck. Not long after, Qiu Liang's face turned blue, his eyes widened, and his body was shaking violently.
.
After a while, his tongue stuck out of his mouth, and he died instantly.
Liu Jixian nodded, his eyes paused slightly, and he said warmly: "Commander, the person has been strangled to death."
Qu Lang's face was as cold as iron, and he said loudly: "Send someone to report to the prince, and make other arrangements to wait for the White Lotus demon to hijack the prison."
Liu Jixian responded softly and didn't say much else.
Qu Lang took a deep breath and ordered the Jinyi captains serving around him to dispose of Qiu Liang's body, and then left the Jinyi Mansion Prison.
