Chapter 1550 Jia Heng: The foundation of the prosperous age was laid before the emperor was alive
Chapter 1549 Jia Heng: The foundation of a prosperous age has been laid, and the emperor has no regrets during his lifetime!
Shenjing City
In the evening, when the sky became dark, there was another downpour, washing away the streets paved with bluestones. Under the eaves of the houses on both sides, there were several lanterns hanging, swaying in the wind.
After Jia Heng and Xingzi had a quarrel for a while, they quickly left the mansion and headed towards Ningguo Mansion without saying much else.
Grand View Garden, Qichi Garden
Zhen Lan was talking to the two sisters Zhen Xi. Zhen Xi was holding a female red embroidery in her hand and was weaving it.
Usually, when Jia Heng is not at home, a group of girls gather together in the back house, either doing nirvana, playing chess, calligraphy or painting, which is quite relaxing.
Zhen Lan raised her curved eyebrows, her eyes flashed brightly, and she said softly: "Sister Xi'er, are you knitting children's clothes now?"
Zhen Xi lowered her eyebrows and trimmed her head, her petite and delicate face was as red as a blush, her beautiful crystal clear eyes were slightly moist, and she said softly: "Now we are well prepared."
After a while, a tall maid walked into the room quickly, and said with a smile that could not hide her voice: "Princess, the prince is back."
When Zhen Lan heard this, her heart couldn't help but feel happy. She raised her eyes and looked at the young man in python suit who came around from the side of a beautiful screen with mountains and rivers, and said, "The prince is here?"
Jia Heng looked at Zhen Lan with warm eyes and whispered: "Lan'er, Xi'er, come here to see you."
Under Zhen Lan's curvaceous willow-leaf eyebrows, waves of prosperous smiles surged in her eyes, and she said: "After Brother Heng was granted the title of prince, there were many civil servants in the court who objected, right?"
While Jia Heng was speaking, he sat down and said warmly: "Many civil servants in the palace have endless objections."
At this moment, Zhen Xi walked closer and squeezed Jia Heng's shoulders.
Zhen Lan said: "Your Majesty, I think most civil servants will start with military power."
Jia Heng said: "I wanted to intervene in the capital camp before, but because of the death of the new emperor, the matter was discontinued."
What the civil servants can do is to see if they can take back part of the military power from the Beijing camp. This struggle must start from Zhen Qing's side to make the orphans and widows suspicious of him.
But the civil servant didn't know that Zhen Qing was also his, so it was simply impossible to suppress him by using imperial power.
Jia Heng nodded and said: "Civil officials will definitely not be willing to give in. They will take action after Emperor Xianzong's success."
When it comes to civil servants, the only people he can help speak for are Lin Ruhai, Jia Zheng, and Qin Ye. But with so many of them, because they are all his relatives, if you want to get involved in the civil service group, you can't end up easily.
In the absence of some young censors to build momentum below, both sides responded.
Zhen Lan's eyes flickered and she said softly: "The prince also needs to cultivate some civil servants of his own, otherwise it would be inappropriate to have no one to support him in the court."
Not to mention anything else, even if I really fall out with the civil servant in the future, there will still be people to help me with the work and stand by my side.
Jia Heng raised his eyebrows, with an inexplicable meaning in his eyes, and said loudly: "This matter took more than ten years of work."
Officials in the central government are easy to deal with, but there are many governors in all provinces who prefer the Han Dynasty.
Once the slogan "King of Diligence" is issued in a certain place, the whole world may be in turmoil. Just like Wang Mang usurping the Han Dynasty, the loyal ministers and righteous men in the world will attack together.
In other words, his opponent was never the civil servants in the court, but the entire civil servant group in the world.
After Jia Heng finished speaking, he gently put his slender hand on his shoulder, feeling the tenderness and softness of the girl's fingertips, and said softly: "Xi'er, don't be tired."
As he spoke, he looked at Zhen Xi with a hint of joy in his eyes, and said softly: "Xi'er, I've been doing embroidery these days."
Zhen Xi's pretty and tender face was as red as drunkenness, her bright eyes were shining, and her brows were full of inexplicable shyness. She said softly: "I am making some children's clothes."
Jia Heng took Zhen Xi's slender hand, with a smile on his face, and said softly: "I don't have a child yet, so I'm thinking about her."
Zhen Xi's flawless jade cheeks suddenly turned as red as a blush. Under her slender willow eyebrows, her eyes were as clear as water and she said, "Brother Heng, I'm not young anymore."
In the future, when she grows old and loses her beauty, it is unlikely that she will have children by her side.
Jia Heng nodded and said, "Yes, yes."
He watched as the girls in the backyard got older and it was time to have children, or in other words, they began to think about the future.
Jia Heng took Zhen Xi's slender hand. Under his sword-shaped eyebrows, there was a hint of joy in his clear eyes, and he said softly: "Wait a while, we will have a child."
While Jia Heng was speaking, he picked up the teacup on the coffee table and took a sip of tea.
Under Zhen Lan's curved eyebrows, her bright eyes were as bright as water, and she said softly: "Brother Heng, how is my sister doing in the palace?"
Jia Heng nodded and said: "Except for one person who is a little bored, there is nothing else. In a few days, it will not be too late for you to go to the palace to accompany her."
Zhen Lan's eyebrows were as curved as a crescent moon, and she whispered: "Then I'll wait for two days and go over to see her."
Zhen Lan's face paused slightly, and under her eyebrows, her eyes were as bright as water, and she said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, my father has been in the capital these days, and my sister and I want to go and have a look."
Jia Heng nodded and said, "If you want to go over and have a look, just go and have a look."
Zhen Lan took Jia Heng's arm and said in a coquettish tone, "Your Majesty, please come with me."
Jia Heng said in a low voice: "Let's see if there is time then. The new emperor's funeral was recently held, and it may take some time."
With that said, Jia Heng took Zhen Lan's delicate hand and whispered: "It's getting late, let's go inside and rest."
Zhen Lan's beautiful face and bright jade cheeks were blushing like clouds. She responded and said softly: "Brother Heng."
Jia Heng's eyebrows were raised, his eyes flickered, and he stared at Zhen Xi who was pursed her pink lips, and whispered: "Xi'er will come with you too."
Well, in a movie about two people, the third person doesn't deserve a name at all.
Jia Heng's expression paused slightly, and then he hugged Zhen Lan and walked towards the inner room.
…
…
Rongguofu, Lixiangyuan
In the evening, dusk falls.
Aunt Xue was wearing a plain silk dress. She was sitting on a soft couch covered with a mattress. There was an abacus placed on the lacquered wood table. She was clicking the abacus and flipping it constantly. She was clearly counting the account books.
, the exuberant smile on the fair face cannot be concealed.
Aunt Xue has been immersed in ecstasy these days.
At this moment, the maid walked into the side room with joy and said with a smile: "Grandma, Uncle Xue and Grandma are here."
"mom."
While talking, Xue Pan, who was shaking his big head, quickly walked into the hall from the outside, with a prosperous smile on his big face.
Xue Pan shook his big head and said with a smile: "Mom, my brother-in-law has been named a prince."
Hearing this, Aunt Xue's fair and plump face couldn't help but be surprised, and said softly: "My son, you also know?"
Xue Pan smiled and said: "Mom, the news has spread all over the capital these days, how come I don't know? My sister is now the prince's concubine. I heard that in the future, if my sister has a son, she can attack the county.
Of the king’s lord.”
Aunt Xue couldn't hide the smile on her face and said: "It's hard to say whether the prince will be the prince or not, but there is a possibility that he will be granted a title in the future."
Xue Pan nodded his big head, his copper bell-sized eyes full of longing, and said: "Sister, she will have a son in the future, and I will be the uncle of the county king in the future."
Aunt Xue: "..."
"Why are you worrying about all this?" Aunt Xue's face paused slightly, her tone full of resentment.
Xue Pan raised his rough and thick eyebrows, his copper bell-sized eyes filled with inexplicable meaning, and whispered: "Isn't it true?"
At this moment, Xia Jingui's face, which had a bit of a mean look, seemed to be in a daze, and under the thin and green eyebrows, there was a thoughtful look in his eyes.
Aunt Xue looked surprised, looked at Xue Pan with concern, and asked: "There shouldn't be any impact on the palace's business now, right?"
A simple and honest smile appeared on Xue Pan's big face, and he said: "Thanks to Brother Heng, the Ministry of Internal Affairs sent an internal supervisor, but it took a while to apologize."
Aunt Xue said: "That's fine, it seems Brother Heng is the one who talks the most."
Xia Jingui listened quietly to the conversation between the two, his narrow and clear eyes shining with shrewdness.
Xue Pan shook his big head, his eyes flickered, and he said loudly: "Mom, I want to meet with my brother-in-law in the next few days to discuss business matters."
??????????.??????
Aunt Xue chuckled lightly and said, "Your brother-in-law is busy with military affairs at court and may not have time. It won't be too late for you to meet again after he is done with this period of time."
Xue Pan nodded and said: "There is also Baoqin, who hasn't passed the exam yet?"
Aunt Xue said: "They have to wait until after the national funeral. The wedding was originally planned to be held this year, but now it has been delayed for so long."
Xue Pan suddenly said: "I didn't expect that sister Baoqin would also follow my brother-in-law. My second uncle said he was a little confused before."
Brother Heng likes her sister like this.
Aunt Xue chuckled lightly and said with emotion: "If two people get married together, they can also have someone to take care of them."
Even if the concubine competes with other women for favor in the future, it is a good thing to have a helper in the future. After Brother Heng becomes the prince, even if he is the royal wife, he will also have a title.
Xue Pan shook his big head and smiled and said: "In the future, if I have a son and a half daughters, they will all be the king and princess of the county."
Aunt Xue smiled and said, "That's true."
Xia Jingui listened on the sidelines and felt a little bit appreciative in his heart.
In the future, her sons and daughters will belong to ordinary people.
In fact, because Baochai married a good man, the Xue family was greatly boosted, and Xia Jingui did not dare to underestimate Xue Pan. The original shrew nature of Hedong Lion Roar had not yet been fully exposed.
…
…
The Jade Rabbit sets in the west and the Golden Crow rises in the east. Time flies and another day passes before you know it.
This day was the day of Emperor Xianzong's funeral. God was also kind. The cloudy sky for many days also cleared up at this moment. The sky was clear and clear, and the sky was washed with green, as if there were nine layers of clouds in the sky.
Even God seemed to be seeing off Emperor Chongping, the great Emperor of Zhongxing in Han Dynasty.
On Zhuque Street going out from Anshun Gate, hundreds of civil and military officials lined up. On both sides, the imperial guards in imperial robes held guards of honor and banners, with great momentum and vigor.
In addition, the court of the cabinet ministers was headed by the two cabinet ministers Li Gao, followed by a mighty team of civil servants, holding ivory wat tablets, all wearing heavy filial piety. Looking from a distance, they looked frosty and white.
Looking down from the sky, white filial piety flags hang from the sky, like goose feathers and heavy snowflakes, shining brightly, and an atmosphere of sadness and mourning silently sweeps the world.
All the civil servants sent Emperor Chongping off. Jia Heng did not meet King Beijing, Shi Jie and other military ministers among the hundreds of officials, but carried the coffin for Emperor Chongping.
When all the civil servants saw this scene, they couldn't help but be moved and confused.
King Wei was really brave and loyal, and he could learn from the sun and the moon. He could only regard Emperor Xianzong as his own father. After all, Emperor Xianzong did not cut him off and rebuild him with kindness.
Empress Dowager Feng, Empress Song, Concubine Duanrong, Princess Jinyang, and the royal daughters headed by Princess Xianning all looked at the young man in the python suit.
In this way, the funeral procession went all the way from Shenjing City to the mausoleum outside Shenjing City. The generals and soldiers of the Beijing camp stood on the city wall, holding swords wrapped in white cloth.
Some of the people on both sides of the street were organized by the Jingzhao Prefecture, and some came spontaneously to see Emperor Chongping off.
The surrounding people were in darkness, kneeling on the ground, crying to heaven and earth, and weeping to see Emperor Chongping off.
All of a sudden, cries were heard everywhere, shaking the whole country.
Along the way, firecrackers on both sides kept crackling, and amid the smoke, there were sounds of howling and crying all around.
It can be said that Emperor Chongping reigned for many years, regained Liaodong, and implemented the New Deal. He made great achievements in governance, worked diligently and loved the people, severely punished corrupt officials, and had strict discipline. He has always been loved by the people of Shenjing City.
Therefore, many of these cries are sincere.
It was not until the afternoon that Emperor Chongping's coffin finally arrived at the mausoleum. With the crackling of firecrackers, Emperor Chongping's coffin slowly lowered down and the cries started again.
Li Zan's face was calm, and under his sword-shaped eyebrows, he raised his eyes to look at the coffin, and said secretly, Emperor Xianzong was a wise king who restored the prosperity of the Han Dynasty, but his teachings to the disciples were often unsatisfactory.
Empress Song's snow-skinned jade face was as pale as paper, and her face was extremely haggard. Under her slender eyebrows as green as black, she looked quietly at the slowly descending coffin.
Under the emerald green eyebrows, her sparkling beautiful eyes were in a trance, lost in thought.
After all, they have been married for many years. At this moment, Queen Song's eyes were in a trance under her eyebrows, and she felt a little sad in her heart.
But when she thought of her two children and how the two kings of Wei and Liang had gained nothing, a rage of anger surged up in the beauty's heart again, and her eyes turned sinister again.
She gave birth to three, um, two sons for him, but in the end, Ran'er didn't even have the throne.
As time passed silently, now, a group of laborers carried the coffin into the imperial mausoleum, and the matter gradually came to an end.
The sound of firecrackers hanging all around resounded throughout the sky and the earth. All civil and military officials knelt down in the Sifang Cemetery and began to cry loudly. Looking down from a high altitude, Xiaobu and Bai Banner looked at them from a distance. The sky and the earth were all white, and they were all shrouded.
A desolate scene.
Jia Heng looked at the stone tomb door that was slowly closing, with a sense of trance in his eyes.
From the 14th year of Chongping to the first year of Jianxing, it was five years before he came to this world. Without the trust of Emperor Chongping, there would be no King Wei today.
The turbulent meeting between the monarch and his ministers seemed to have finally come to an end at this moment.
No matter what, Liaodong was recovered, the New Deal flourished... the foundation of a prosperous age was laid, and the emperor had no regrets during his lifetime!
And if he returned all his talents and bravery to the emperor, it would not be considered as a failure to live up to the emperor's kindness.
In the evening, when the sun set in the west, the funeral procession returned to the city of Shenjing in great force.
And the funeral of Emperor Chongping was completely over.
Jia Heng, on the other hand, rode a maroon horse, holding the horse's rein, and escorted a large funeral procession back to the sacred city under the retinue of Jinyi Palace Guards.
Emperor Chongping seemed to gradually sink into the Western Mountains as the setting sun behind him, marking the complete end of an era.
All the princes and ministers returned to their residences in high spirits.
…
…
Ningguo Mansion, in the study room——
Jia Heng stepped into the square Nuan Pavilion, looked at Gu Ruoqing who was sitting on the soft couch, and said loudly: "Ruoqing."
Gu Ruoqing's bright and beautiful face was as white as snow. She stared at the young man in the python suit, her eyes flickered, and she said softly: "They are buried over there."
Jia Heng nodded, with an inexplicable meaning in his eyes under his sword-shaped eyebrows, and said softly: "It has been buried."
While talking, he sat close and gently hugged Gu Ruoqing's slender body. Looking into Gu Ruoqing's bright eyes, he said with emotion: "There is another one parked over there in Hanyuan Hall."
However, after all, an emperor was buried. King Chu did not need to be too anxious. The mausoleum would still need to be built for a while.
Gu Ruoqing nodded, his eyes flickered, and he said softly: "I don't know much about things in the court, so you have to be more careful."
Jia Heng hugged the beauty's slim shoulders and stared at Gu Ruoqing. He came close to the bright and delicate lips and pressed them, as if holding the petals of a flower.
While the two were getting intimate, a joking voice suddenly came from outside the door, saying: "You just came here and you started chewing again?"
Gu Ruoqing's beautiful face was as red as drunkenness, and her face as white as snow was as red as blush. She reached out and gently pushed Jia Heng's shoulder away, and said in a trembling voice: "It's already noon, it's time to have lunch."
Jia Heng said: "I won't eat anymore, I will eat you today."
Gu Ruoqing: "..."
This man, the beauty's heart can't help but tremble.
At this moment, he heard footsteps outside. Immediately, Chen Xiao entered the study, looked at the two people who were having an affair, and said, "We are making trouble."
Jia Heng let go of Gu Ruoqing's delicate hand, looked at Chen Xiao calmly, and said, "Xiaoxiao, are you back?"
Chen Xiaoxing came closer and said softly: "Jinyi Mansion is investigating Chen Yuan's traces."
Jia Heng asked: "Doesn't your master know where he is now?"
There is no rush to arrest Chen Yuan now.
Chen Xiao shook her head as beautiful as a waterfall, her face paused slightly, and she said softly: "Master, she doesn't know that Chen Yuan seems to have been aware of being betrayed recently."
As he said that, he turned to look at Gu Ruoqing who was standing aside.
