Chapter 1570 Jia Heng: There’s no way around chess, right?
Palace Garden, Wuying Hall
Li Zan was sitting on a rosewood chair. He was tall and had a resolute face. He was reviewing memorials with his eyes lowered.
Other cabinet secretaries and other minor officials walked back and forth, quietly, not daring to disturb Li Zan who was reviewing the memorial.
Just then a guard from the Jinyi Mansion came from outside the palace and said in a low voice: "Mr. Ge, the commander of the Jinyi Mansion has come over and said that the case of the Imperial College has been revealed."
Li Zan nodded, his eyes flickered, and he said loudly: "Let them come in."
After a while, I saw several tall detectives from the Jinyi Mansion lifting a wooden box. Without saying much else, they quickly walked a few steps and entered the hall.
"I have met Mr. Ge in my humble position." Qu Lang looked respectful and saluted Li Zan.
There are other etiquettes that you should have.
Li Zan looked at the official in charge of the Jinyi Mansion across from him and said, "Get up."
Qu Lang thanked him and said warmly: "Elder Ge, Lu Jiang and Lu Li, as well as more than 30 students from the Imperial College, have already confessed. I am humble enough to have someone deliver the files. I also ask Elder Ge to watch them."
Li Zan frowned, then relaxed his eyebrows and said, "Are these evidences still conclusive?"
Qu Lang raised his sword eyebrows, his eyes were warm, and he whispered: "To confirm each other's words, Mr. Ge can ask an old official from the Three Justice Department to test it."
Li Zan didn't comment and just put down the file.
Qu Lang put on a facelift and calmed down his expression, saluted Li Zan, and said loudly: "In addition, there is another matter. The original King of Wei and King of Liang have disappeared recently."
When Li Zan heard this, his face suddenly changed under his sword-shaped eyebrows, and he said in surprise: "I don't know where I am? Why I don't know where I am?"
Qu Lang said: "Mr. Ge, it is suspected that the White Lotus demon has kidnapped him."
When Li Zan heard this, he frowned, nodded and said: "What do the people in Jinyi Mansion do for food? With so many people guarding it, people can actually escape."
Qu Lang bowed his hands and said, "Mr. Ge, one of my subordinates was negligent for a moment. Due to my humble position, I have sent someone to question a few people and punish them for their negligence."
Li Zan frowned, his eyes flickered, and he said in a deep voice: "Once these two people are used by bad people, they may cause a disaster in the local area. Jinyi Mansion will be dispatched recently to hunt down the movements of these two people.
We must not let it fall into the wrong hands and cause trouble!"
Qu Lang's face paused slightly, and he raised his hands.
Li Zan thought for a while and asked in a deep voice: "How are Lu Jiang and Lu Li doing in prison?"
Qu Lang quickly cupped his hands and said: "Back to the pavilion, the two of them are now in the imperial prison, and they are being entertained with good food and drinks. Nothing else is abnormal."
Li Zan was silent for a moment and warned: "You must not humiliate me."
After all, he was born as a second-ranked Jinshi, and his reputation is so great that it cannot be humiliated.
Qu Lang's face was solemn, and under his sword-shaped eyebrows, his cold and shining eyes flickered, and he cupped his hands and said, "I really don't dare to do this in such a lowly position."
Li Zan pondered for a moment, raised his thick eyebrows, Yingying's eyes flickered, and said warmly: "Nowadays, the public opinion among the scholars in the capital is boiling over the matter of King Wei. Jinyi Mansion really cannot allow any more troubles."
Knowing that the person in front of him was a close confidant of Jia Heng's men, he could only persuade him to restrain his tactics based on the interests of Jia Heng's reputation.
Qu Lang's face paused slightly, he bowed his hands and said in a low voice: "I understand my humble position."
Li Zan waved his hand and said, "Go out."
Qu Lang cupped his hands, said nothing else, turned around and left Wuying Hall.
Li Zan picked up the tea cup on the small table beside him, looking majestic and inexplicably gloomy on his old face.
In today's capital, all important departments are in the hands of King Wei's close followers. No wonder Lu Jiang and Lu Li are frightened by this.
While Li Zan was in a state of mind, a small official from the cabinet secretariat entered the palace and whispered: "Mr. Li Ge, Mr. Gao Ge is here."
While he was speaking, he saw Gao Zhongping coming from outside, with a look of thought on his resolute and majestic face.
"Mr. Li Ge, what is this?" Gao Zhongping's eyes flickered under his sword-shaped brows, and he looked at Li Zan and said.
Li Zan said with an expressionless face: "This is the file just delivered by Jinyi Mansion. Lu Jiang and Lu Li have already confessed and encouraged the Imperial College students to go to Anshun Gate to cause trouble."
Gao Zhongping raised his eyebrows, his eyes were deep, and he said warmly: "Have these two been tortured before?"
Li Zan shook his head. Under his sword-shaped brows, his eyes were slightly dim, and he said in a deep voice: "How can one not use torture in the prison of Jinyi Mansion?"
Gao Zhongping was silent for a moment, his eyes flickered, and he said softly: "So, what exactly is going on?"
Under his brows, Li Zan's eyes were deep and he said in a deep voice: "There is another matter. The commander of Jinyi Mansion just came to report that the deposed King Wei and King Liang were suspected to have been rescued from the capital by Chen Yuan, the remnant of King Zhao."
Hearing this, Gao Zhongping had a look of surprise in his eyes and said loudly: "What on earth is going on?"
Li Zan's face turned gloomy and he said, "I don't know, Jinyi Mansion's security is lax. The former Jinyi Mansion pro-army commander has already sent people to deal with it."
Gao Zhongping shook his head, his eyes flickered, and with a calm expression on his face, he said in a low voice: "Once King Wei and King Liang leave the palace, they may cause trouble."
Li Zan shook his head and said: "There won't be any big trouble. The soldiers and horses of the imperial camp will be in charge, and the local people will have no internal troubles. Even if there is a slight rebellion, it will be put down quickly."
When Gao Zhongping heard this, his heart moved slightly.
…
…
The next day, the sky was bright and the hot sunlight shone in the courtyard. After the rain, raindrops could be seen rolling down from the leaves of the lush sycamore tree in the courtyard.
At this moment, Jia Heng quickly got up from bed, left Qichi Courtyard, and went to the study room in the front yard.
Chen Xiao lifted the pretty girl's head from behind the book, looked at the young man in the python suit, and said: "King Wei, Prince Liang has left the capital, and Liu Jixian has sent detectives from the Jinyi Mansion to keep an eye on him."
Jia Heng's eyebrows were raised, his eyes were as bright as water, and he said warmly: "Have someone send someone to keep an eye on it."
Here, Gu Ruoqing's face paused slightly and she said softly: "Chen Yuan should have left the capital recently."
Jia Heng said coldly: "People should have left Shenjing City by now and are waiting for trouble."
If the Sichuan Incident really happened, then it would be the time when the power would be completely taken over.
Gu Ruoqing said: "Some branches of the sect in Bailian are still in Bashu. These people are the old troops of King Zhao and are still controlled by Chen Yuan."
Jia Heng said softly: "Can your master control these people?"
Gu Ruoqing shook her head and said, "There are some things that Master cannot control himself."
Jia Heng was silent for a moment.
After talking to Chen Xiao and Gu Ruoqing for a while in the study, Jia Heng went outside without lingering.
…
…
Grand View Garden, Zhujin Tower
Wearing a lotus-colored dress to greet the spring, she was sitting in front of a diamond-shaped dressing table with a bronze mirror. She stared at the face in the diamond-shaped bronze mirror. Her lips were red and her teeth were white, and her eyebrows had a bit of a charming look.
The maid behind him approached, it was Qin Siqi.
He came closer, pinched Yingchun's shoulders, and said loudly: "Girl is not young anymore, it's time for her to be married."
At this time of welcoming the spring, her face was clearly red with greasy nose and white jade skin, and she seemed to be saying with a bit of resentment: "These are all taken care of by the eldest lady. How can a girl make the decision on her own?"
Siqi said: "Last time, the uncle promised a girl and wanted to help her arrange the marriage."
Under the slender eyebrows that welcomed the spring as green as distant mountains, his eyes were as bright as water. His eyes flickered and he said warmly: "Uncle, he is busy with external affairs and has no time to care about such small things as mine. Back then, eldest sister was
Such."
Si Qi was silent for a moment, but it was hard to say much else.
At this moment, the joyful voice of the maid Xiu Ju outside came, her eyes were as bright as water, and she said softly: "Your Majesty."
While Jia Heng was speaking, he walked around a screen, entered the hall, and looked at the
And Yingchun also stood up to greet him, looked at Jia Heng with a gaze, bowed Ying Ying and said: "Brother Heng."
Jia Heng had a smile on his face and said, "Second sister, you are busy."
The smile on Siqi's face was a bit more enthusiastic.
Under the beautiful willow eyebrows welcoming the spring, he lowered his eyes slightly and said softly: "Why is Brother Heng here?"
Under Jia Heng's sharp eyebrows, his eyes were warm and smiling, and he said, "Come and see the second sister."
As time goes by, Yingchun's facial features gradually become longer and longer, and the blush can be seen on both sides of her fair and jade face, which is bright and moving.
Jia Heng sat down in the compartment and took the tea cup from Siqi's hand. There was a look of thoughtfulness on his face, his eyes were warm, and he whispered: "This time, in addition to seeing you, I also want to ask you.
Have you thought about what I asked you last time?"
When Yingchun heard this, her face as white as snow glowed as brightly as fire, with traces of charm surging from the corners of her brows and eyes, and she said in a trembling voice: "Brother Heng, I don't know either."
How can she, a daughter-in-law, decide on her own marriage? It’s not up to the eldest wife and eldest brother Heng.
Jia Heng smiled, looked at Yingchun, and said, "Second sister, haven't you thought about it yet?"
Yingchun said softly: "I completely rely on Brother Heng and Mrs. Heng to make the decision."
After Jia Heng heard this, he didn't want to ask any more questions. Then he sat down, looked at Siqi beside him, and said in a low voice: "Go and bring the chess table over, and I will play two games with your girl."
Si Qi said "Hey" with a smile on his face, and then turned around and left without saying anything else.
Jia Heng sat down, stared at the girl with drooping eyebrows, smiled and said: "Second sister is now older, so she is shy."
At this moment, Yingchun lowered his head as beautiful as a waterfall. It was obvious that Ermu Mu was now a little shy.
Under Yingchun's green eyebrows, her eyes flickered and she called: "Brother Heng."
At this moment, Si Qi came over with an apricot-yellow chess piece. There was a clear smile on his plump and pleasant face, and said: "Your Majesty, Miss."
He used to look tall and strong, but now he has a plump figure.
Jia Heng picked up a black chess piece and landed it on the apricot-yellow wooden chessboard with a "clack" sound, looking calm.
Siqi turned around to serve tea for the two of them. After a while, a hint of secret joy appeared on his plump and white face.
Jia Heng nodded, his eyes flickered, and he whispered: "Second sister's chess skills are getting better and better."
On the other side of the car, Yingchun said softly "Hmm" and secretly glanced at the fair face of the boy in the python suit, feeling a little embarrassed.
For some reason, she was staring at Brother Heng more than before, feeling a little shy and inexplicable for some reason.
As the saying goes, a girl's feelings are always poetry. She is not too young to welcome the Spring Festival, so she will naturally have some longing for love.
As the most perfect man in the Ningguo Mansion, Jia Heng naturally became an irreplaceable fantasy object when the girl was young and ignorant.
The spring greeting is like a green and beautiful eyebrow in the distant mountains. She frowns slightly, and there seems to be a little bit of inexplicable shame in her bright eyes.
Jia Heng picked up a slightly smooth and shiny black chess piece and placed it on the chess floor. There was a hint of thoughtfulness on his calm and resolute face.
"Second sister's chess skills are truly superb." Jia Heng raised his eyebrows and said in a low voice with his clear eyes shining like water.
Yingchun said warmly: "Brother Heng is worried about national affairs in the temple and doesn't pay much attention to such small things. It's true."
Jia Heng nodded and whispered: "There are no major national events now, but I can rest at home for a while."
Yingchun said softly "Hmm", she was not a talkative person at first.
At this moment, Si Qi came over and handed over a pot of boiled hot tea.
Jia Heng picked up a blue and white porcelain tea cup and took a sip of tea, which was filled with fragrance in his teeth and cheeks.
The chess player then slowly stepped back, leaving space for the two of them.
Jia Heng's face paused slightly, his eyes were a little gentle, he stared at Yingchun not far away, and whispered: "Second sister, if there is anyone you like."
The head of a beautiful little girl with a cloud bun hangs down in the spring, and the plump and bright face is covered with a blush on both sides. She said in a low voice: "Brother Heng, I can do it."
Jia Heng's expression paused slightly, and he stared at Yingchun, who was a little silly, feeling a little helpless in his heart.
Not very easy to tease...
Jia Heng thought for a moment and said warmly: "What else does the second sister do in the house besides playing chess?"
Under the spring-green eyebrows, those bright, slightly moist eyes were as bright as rainbows, and he whispered: "Look at the chess record."
Jia Heng: "..."
There’s no getting around chess, right?
Jia Heng's face paused, surprised, and asked: "What about chess?"
The jade face that welcomes spring is as red as drunkenness, and she says quietly: "Read a book."
When Jia Heng heard this, he couldn't keep asking further.
What a homebody.
Jia Heng sat down in the wing room for a while, and without saying much else, left Zhujin Tower and walked quickly towards the outside.
We were not far away, so after thinking about it, I decided to go to Cucui Temple first to see Miaoyu.
Cui Cui'an
Miaoyu was wearing a plain dress with wide sleeves, leaning on a soft couch, her eyes falling on her son not far away.
Miaoyu's cold and charming face in the past was bright and charming, and her jade-white skin seemed to be covered with a layer of maternal sweetness and love.
Not far away, Xing Xiuyan was holding a thin book in his hand, reading attentively. A hint of thinking seemed to be floating in his beautiful and bright eyebrows, as if they were coming out of the clouds.
The cold-hearted master's wife back then has become extremely gentle and gentle now.
At this moment, Su Su's voice came from outside.
"Uncle, here we come." There was a hint of excitement in Su Su's charming voice.
At this moment, Jia Heng opened a curtain, entered the wing, looked at Miaoyu who was leaning on the bed, and said, "Miaoyu, you are teasing the child."
There seemed to be a hint of joy on Miaoyu's fragrant and jade-skinned face. Under her emerald eyebrows, her bright eyes were as bright as water, and she said softly: "The child has grown a lot in the past few days."
Jia Heng came closer and sat down on an embroidered pier. He looked at the infant boy and stretched out his hand to hold the soft little hand. An inexplicable look of joy appeared on his fair and clear face.
.
At this moment, Jia Heng couldn't help but reach out and pinch the baby's pink and chubby face.
Under Miaoyu's slender eyebrows, her bright eyes were as bright as water. Her tone couldn't help but be scolded, and she whispered in a low voice: "The child is still young, so don't be too gentle or too heavy."
Jia Heng nodded and said warmly: "I have many children, don't you have experience yet?"
Hearing this, Miaoyu's charming and flowing eyes were as bright as water in her green willow eyebrows, and she said with shame and annoyance: "You are so proud."
At this moment, Xing Xiuyan looked at the two old couples bickering like each other, with clear eyes as bright as water, with a hint of inexplicable envy.
When she had a child, the prince would pay more attention to her.
Jia Heng teased the child for a while, then turned to look at Xing Xiuyan aside and asked, "Xiuyan, what are you doing now?"
Xing Xiuyan's eyebrows were gentle and pleasant, and she said in a low voice: "I just found a book to read, but there is nothing else."
Jia Heng said: "Xiuyan is not young anymore, so she can consider having a child."
When Xing Xiuyan heard this, her face, as white as jade, flushed red, and she seemed to respond softly.
Miaoyu snorted softly and said, "The house will be filled with children by then."
Jia Heng said: "I have a large salary and my family can afford it."
Miaoyu responded softly, but rolled her eyes at the boy in the python suit, and didn't say much else.
…
…
Let’s not mention the conversation between the two people in Shenjing City for the moment, but they said that it was a few hundred miles away from Shenjing City——
The King of Wei and the King of Liang rode a horse with a maroon mane and galloped towards the outside. It was midsummer and the road was muddy. Horse hooves stepped on it, and mud particles were splashed everywhere.
But in the evening, it was raining heavily and the sky was dark, so it was obviously evening.
Ruan Yongde, who was accompanying him, had a hint of coldness in his aggressive and flashing tiger eyes under his two sharp sword-shaped eyebrows, and he said: "After passing the pass in front, we will reach Bashu."
Wei Wang Chen Ran nodded and said: "Did Shenjing know that we went to Bashu?"
Ruan Yongde looked deeply under his sword-browed eyebrows and said: "Your Highness, don't worry, I have sent several groups of people to confuse you. Once the Tiqi of Jinyi Mansion in Shenjing pursues them, they will definitely be led to other places."
Wei Wang Chen Ran nodded and said softly: "That's okay, otherwise with the speed of Jin Yi Ti's cavalry, it would only be a matter of time before we pursue him along the road."
"Your Highness, it's getting late ahead. Let's find a house ahead for the horses to rest for the time being." Ruan Yongde paused slightly and said softly.
Then, a group of people galloped away on horseback into the distance.
