Chapter 1568 Jia Heng: Needs to be sharpened and sharpened
…
Ningguo Mansion, Qichi Garden
It was mid-afternoon, and the heat was soaring, and the weather in June summer changed at every turn. The sky was already a bit gloomy, but now there was thunder, lightning, and heavy rain.
Looking around, you can see ripples of light rising in the wind, forming circles on the lake in the Grand View Garden.
In summer, there is a pond of lotus trees in the lake, with no vines or branches.
But I saw a pair of side-by-side lotuses swaying in the wind in the lake. The white lotus in the middle of the pond was white and red, and the lotus flowers were fragrant.
In the square room, on the embroidered couch covered by the curtains, Jia Heng was lying on the bed in the back room with his chest bare. His forehead was covered with a layer of fine sweat, and there were crystal beads of sweat.
soy.
Jia Heng gently stroked Zhen Lan's smooth and round shoulders and said warmly: "Okay, it's getting late. I have something else to do, so let's get going."
Zhen Lan softly said "Hmm", and her pretty and bright little face could be seen that the blushing aura was growing out of her.
Jia Heng opened a quilt embroidered with hibiscus flowers, found black official boots and put them on, put on a black and red satin python robe, and tied a rhinoceros horn jade belt around his waist.
Then, without saying much, he headed outside as he spoke.
At this moment, it is June, the sky is full of wind and rain, and the sycamore tree in the southwest corner of the courtyard is swaying in the wind and rain, and the rain is flying like catkins.
Walking under the cloister, we met Qingwen.
Qingwen nodded and said: "Sir, the princess has just been looking for you. She wants to see you for something urgent."
Jia Heng said: "I'll go there right away."
When I came to the study room in the front yard, I saw Chen Xiao and Gu Ruoqing making tea. At this moment, I could see the rain hanging bead curtains with thousands of threads. At a glance, the houses with double eaves and hooked corners in the distance were covered with hazy rain and mist.
Among them, there are almost no shadows in the distance.
Chen Xiao turned his eyes and saw the young man in the python suit, and said warmly: "The secret agent in brocade just now delivered an urgent report. Take a look."
As he spoke, he moved a piece of paper next to his hand and motioned for Jia Heng to check the piece of paper.
Jia Heng took the paper, his eyes were deep under his sword-shaped eyebrows, and a look of surprise appeared on his face, and he said: "Chen Yuan's dead men are still operating secretly in the capital?"
"According to the investigation by the Jinyi Mansion detective who monitored the Gao family, these unknown people went to see Gao Zhongping and stayed for about a quarter of an hour. For unknown reasons," Chen Xiao said in a low voice with a frosty face and a cold flash in his eyes.
.
Jia Heng folded the paper, thought about it, and said coldly: "Then let people stare at him first to see what he wants to do."
Gao Zhongping should not be unwise, or in other words, even if he had doubts about him, he would not act rashly.
Now in the capital, he has all the military power. It can be said that the military, police and military powers are all in his hands. These people can't make any trouble at all.
But we should not be careless, otherwise it would not be good if Sun Ce used his own bravery and was assassinated by Xu Gong's disciples.
Chen Xiao nodded in agreement, and immediately raised his eyes and asked, "Why didn't you send Jinyi Palace Guards to Gao Mansion to ask before?"
"I just imprisoned a cabinet minister, and then I interrogated a deputy minister. How will the officials in the court think of me?" Jia Heng's eyes were deep under his sharp eyebrows. As he spoke, he put down the paper in his hand and said,
A faint light could be seen in his eyes, and he said: "Let's not be busy with these things for now. Just take a moment and don't be impatient."
Before there is conclusive evidence, Gao Zhongping cannot be touched again, otherwise the civil servants in the world will be in an uproar.
The food you eat now shouldn't be too ugly.
The civil servant group at this time was more of a kind of civil servants who had been baptized by Confucian ethics.
Even if it is not a clear-cut opposition to him, just non-violent non-cooperation is enough for him to spend a lot of time.
The government affairs of the world are gathered in the capital and need to be handled by him back and forth.
Chen Xiaoliu's eyebrows were emerald and curved, and a thoughtful look suddenly appeared on his cold, jade-like face. He said in a warm voice: "Then let the detectives of Jinyi Mansion keep an eye on him first."
At this moment, Gu Ruoqing was holding a blue and white porcelain tea cup in his hand, and that cold, bright face once again... showed a hint of thoughtfulness.
At this moment, Jia Heng turned his eyes and glanced at Gu Ruoqing, who was in a daze. He was surprised and asked, "Ruoqing, what are you thinking about right now."
Gu Ruoqing put down a blue and white porcelain tea cup, and under her curved green eyebrows, a look of surprise appeared in her shining eyes, and she said, "I didn't think about anything."
Jia Heng felt strange for a moment, but didn't say anything else.
Chen Xiao nodded and said warmly: "Some people may be suspicious because of your previous rumors."
"True and false, false and true, the top smart people can't hide it, but there are very few top smart people in the world." Jia Heng said coldly.
Chen Xiao nodded and agreed: "That's true."
Jia Heng turned to ask: "What are the recent developments in Junggar and Heshuote?"
Chen Xiao said: "Additional detectives have been sent to the two places. The latest news has not been compiled yet, but preparations for war in the northwest have begun."
Jia Heng was silent for a moment and said: "I have a vague feeling that Chen Yuan may use these two places to make a fuss."
Chen Xiao raised his eyebrows, his eyes flashed coldly, and said in a deep voice: "He doesn't have many chips left."
Jia Heng nodded and said warmly: "If Junggar and Heshuote are added to Bashu, it will be a bit difficult if they all become chaotic."
Gu Ruoqing said: "If chaos really breaks out, how should the capital regard it? There are wars everywhere in the place. What can be done?"
Jia Heng was silent for a moment and said: "I have all the troops and horses in the capital and the camp in my hands. There will be no chaos in the capital. As for the world of Kyushu, with smoke rising everywhere and wars everywhere, that is impossible."
This is why civil servants can only attack him within the framework of a power struggle.
Because he had just returned with a great victory, and when he was in danger, he was appointed to become an important minister and support two generations of emperors.
Chen Xiao looked solemn and said thoughtfully: "Chen Yuan has repeatedly colluded with foreign barbarians, disrupted the Han Dynasty, and murdered three generations of emperors. He has no king and no father. His reputation has been spread far and wide. How can the scholars in the world listen to what he says."
Jia Heng said coldly: "It won't make any difference."
It can even completely wipe out the opposition forces in one fell swoop.
Chen Xiao looked at Jia Heng and said warmly: "The local government cannot be careless. If there are any local officials who respond foolishly, they should quickly send troops to suppress it."
Jia Heng's expression was unconcerned, his eyes flashed aggressively, and he said warmly: "On the south side of the Yangtze River, there are still large camps south of the Yangtze River and north of the Yangtze River, which are enough to intimidate the three southeastern provinces. As for the east of Guangdong, there are also nearly 100,000 naval troops, enough to control Fujian and Guangdong.
As for the nine frontiers in Liaodong, the Beijing camp and even the border troops are enough to shock the world."
It can be said that in these few short years, Jia Heng has weaved a large network in every corner of Chen Han.
It's usually inconspicuous, but when I look at it now, it's a bit shocking.
Of course, as long as Jia Heng does not clearly display the banner of "generation of Han", the army will be controllable.
Chen Xiao whispered: "Now I am a civil servant in the world, and I have no intention of belonging to you."
"This is the dynasty spirit cultivated by the country's establishment of the country for hundreds of years and its kindness to the scholars." Jia Heng also had a hint of helplessness on his face and said, "It takes years and months of hard work."
Gu Ruoqing thought for a long time and finally said: "Now that the country's vitality is not exhausted, it may never... get the chance."
"It needs to be whittled, it needs to be sharpened, it needs to be whittled away, and the momentum of people's will is whittled away." Jia Heng raised his sword eyebrows, looked deeply, and said warmly.
This kind of thing cannot be rushed, otherwise, if there is a spark in one place, the world will be in chaos and out of control.
But it cannot be delayed for too long, and a suitable opportunity is needed.
When Gu Ruoqing heard this, her flawless face showed a thoughtful expression.
"Many local civil servants do not hold military power. They mostly listen to the direction of the central government and who supports whom in the central government." Jia Heng's resolute and calm face showed a hint of determination as he said warmly.
Of course, as long as he does not take the flag of usurping the throne clearly, the last fig leaf will still be there, and the civil servants in the world will not commit suicide.
Usually when he makes serious mistakes in his governance, which leads to civil unrest, loyal ministers and righteous men will rise up to fight against the rebellion.
Jia Heng's eyebrows were raised, his eyes were far away for a moment, then he regained his composure, as clear as a god.

Shenjing City, Gaozhai
Gao Zhongping, on his side, paced back and forth in the hall for a while with his hands behind his back. Then he sat down on a pearwood chair, thought for a while, ordered the servants, and said in a deep voice: "Go and call the young master over."
Not long after, Gao Yong was seen coming from outside, with a look of fear on his face. He walked quickly forward, bowed to Gao Zhongping, and said, "My son has met his father."
Gao Zhongping looked at Gao Yong with his eyes, always looking at the latter making him feel uncomfortable, and said in a deep voice: "You come to the study with my father."
Listening to the relaxed and natural tone in Gao Zhongping's tone, Gao Yong didn't seem to be angry. He quickly got up and followed Gao Zhongping quickly.
Gao Zhongping had been walking quickly along the corridor, and now he came to the beautifully decorated and elegant study room.
Gao Zhongping sat behind a lacquered wooden table. His face was livid, and there was a faint evil spirit in his eyes. He shouted: "Kneel down!"
Gao Yong: "???"
No, I promised not to get angry just now.
Gao Yong had no choice but to kneel down, and then lowered his eyes, feeling extremely worried in his heart.
Gao Zhongping had a slightly evil look on his face. Under his thick eyebrows, there seemed to be a sharp light in his eyes, and he asked: "Gao Yong, who made you collude with the remnants of King Zhao?"
As an old minister of Emperor Chongping, Gao Zhongping had naturally met Chen Yuan back then, or in other words, he was no stranger to the existence of King Zhao and others.
Gao Yong nodded and said warmly: "Father, my son doesn't know what his father means. My son has never colluded with the remnants of King Zhao."
"Still quibbling!" Gao Zhongping's face was filled with anger, and he said in a deep voice: "Chen Yuan is a wanted criminal by the imperial court. If you collude with him, once discovered by the spies of the Jinyi Mansion, it will be a disaster for the whole family! Don't you know?
"
Under the high eyebrows, his eyes were piercing, and he said: "There was some connection before, but the child has not been connected with it, and there has been no contact for a long time."
Gao Zhongping looked at Gao Yong aggressively, his eyes flickered, and he said solemnly: "You should keep in touch with Chen Yuan more these days. After a while, go back to Sichuan to meet up with your elder brother."
Gao Yong: "???"
As soon as I thought about it, I felt a chill in my heart.
"Father, I'm going to Sichuan to find my brother...what exactly are I going to do?" Gao Yong had various speculations in his mind and looked at his father in surprise.
Gao Zhongping nodded and said, "No need to ask more, your brother will tell you what to do in a few days."
If King Wei is really a treacherous minister who brought trouble to the imperial court and stole artifacts, then he will go to King Qin from Sichuan and call on the heroes of the world to fight against King Wei and repay the kindness of the late emperor.
Gao Zhongping served as the governor of the entire Sichuan area for many years, and his trusted generals were all over the Bashu area. His eldest son and several sons-in-law were all generals with heavy troops.
There is also a reason why Chen Yuan chose Sichuan. The last force of the White Lotus Sect is entrenched in Sichuan. These are Chen Yuan's last capital.
After Gao Yong heard this, he thought about the pros and cons in his heart and cupped his hands.
Gao Zhongping looked at Gao Yong, shook his head secretly, and ordered: "Go and call your second brother over."
Gao Yong cupped his hands in response and said nothing else, then turned and left.
After a while, Gao Yong was seen walking from the outside, and his second brother Gao Bo walked into the study and said respectfully: "My son has met his father."
Gao Yong nodded, with a hint of satisfaction in his eyes, and said, "Get up."
"Yes, father." Gao Bo's face looked a little more solemn, he cupped his hands towards Gao Yong and said warmly.
Gao Zhongping looked gloomy and said: "In the past few days, you and your third brother, on the pretext of returning to your hometown to worship your ancestors, can go to Sichuan and keep an eye on the movements of Shenjing City at all times."
As the chief minister of the cabinet, it is impossible for him to leave Shenjing City, but his sons need to be transferred out in advance and stay in place.
Gao Bo looked surprised and asked: "Going to Sichuan now?"
Gao Zhongping stood up, raised his eyes to look at the scenery outside the window, and said: "If my father is killed in Shenjing, you and your eldest brother will raise an army, and my father will pass the news to you in Shenjing."
Gao Bo couldn't help but feel shocked, his pupils shrank sharply, and he asked urgently: "Father, why is this happening?"
Gao Zhongping's eyes flashed aggressively, his face was somewhat gloomy, and he said loudly: "The situation in the court today is really too turbulent. If my father is in the capital, he may be harmed by bad people. Wherever you go, you can have more information."
Some people may still be wary of the backhand."
Gao Bo frowned, his eyes flickered, and he was clearly thinking. He hesitated and asked, "Is father worried about King Wei?"
During this period, Gao Bo was keenly aware of the strange atmosphere in the capital.
It can be said that the undercurrent is surging and murderous intentions are everywhere.
Gao Zhong's face was majestic, he was a little calm, his eyes were a little gloomy, and he said: "It is still unclear what the future of King Wei will be like."
Gao Bo nodded and said warmly: "King Wei was not loyal to the court before, how could it be possible?"
"That was before, this is now, and the future will be even more so in the future." Gao Zhong's face was as smooth as water, and his eyes flickered, which was thought-provoking.
Gao Bo was silent for a moment after hearing this.
Gao Zhongping's eyes flashed aggressively, and he said warmly: "Let's get ready first."
Gao Bo nodded, said nothing else, and then quickly walked out of the hall.
After Gao Bo left, Gao Zhongping stood in front of a wooden carved window in the study, his eyes flickered, and he stared at the rain outside, like clouds and mountains under the overlapping eyebrow peaks, his eyes were dim and inexplicable, showing a thoughtful look.
.
The entire Shenjing, the Jingying camp, the Five Cities Military and Horse Division, the Jinyi Mansion and even the palace guards guarding the imperial city are all people who guard the king inside and outside.
The only people who could restrain King Wei were the moral and righteous people and their loyal ministers and righteous men who were loyal to the Han Dynasty.
