Chapter 1616 Qianqian: Your mother is fine, why are you crying?
Bashu, Chengdu Prefecture
Jia Yun, wearing a black iron armor, stood on the city wall of Fucheng and looked at the Shu army general who was asking for surrender in the distance. Under her thick eyebrows, her eyes could not help but be filled with joy.
With this contribution of surrender, it is certain that he will be awarded the title of fifth-class knight.
At this moment, a general with a rough face and a beard quickly entered the hall and said to Jia Yun: "General Jia, will you send someone to open the city gate to welcome the surrendering troops into the city?"
Jia Yun looked solemn and warned: "General Li Shen, take three thousand people out of Guancheng to accept surrender. Be careful of fraud."
At this time, the Shu army may still be deceiving, and he needs to be careful.
When the general with dark cheeks and tall figure, who looked like a black tower, heard this, his face became solemn, he clasped his fists and said yes, and then he took a few "thumping" steps to get down to the city gate tower.
The generals of the Shu army below, under the surveillance of the imperial troops, abandoned their weapons and entered the city of Chengdu.
Not long after, Jia Yun also saw Gao Yong's body. She ordered someone to cut off Gao Yong's head and put it in a wooden box, intending to deliver it to Shenjing by fast horse to report the victory to the court.
The third-ranking Liao Duke of the Han Dynasty thanked Zaiyi and led his troops on the Jinniu Road, quickly approaching the capital city of Chengdu.
…
…
Shenjing City, go to the mansion two miles away from Ningguo Mansion——
In the side room, the sound of piano music could be heard loudly, and Xingzi was stroking the harp at the moment, and the wool brush in his palm was gently sketching lines on the rice paper.
At this moment, a tall female official entered the study, with a hint of coquettishness in her voice, and said: "Your Majesty, King Wei is here."
Hearing this, Xingzi's soft and charming face suddenly showed a touch of inexplicable joy.
Immediately, Xingzi raised his eyes and saw the young man in a python suit walking quickly from the outside. There seemed to be a warm smile on his stern face under the strong sunlight.
"Xingzi." Jia Heng called out and looked at the slim and graceful beauty in a kimono with a maple leaf pattern.
"Jia Jun, you're here." Xingzi's eyebrows were as beautiful as a crescent moon, and the corners of her raised mouth seemed to be overflowing with a faint smile.
Jia Heng walked closer, held the beauty's slender catkins, looked at the beauty wearing a maple leaf kimono, and said, "Xingzi, long time no see."
Xingzi turned around that charming and bright face, and under the willow eyebrows, the soft and slightly beautiful eyes seemed to be overflowing with charming emotions, and asked: "Jia Jun, are you finished with the official business outside?"
Jia Heng nodded and said, "Yes, I'm done."
After finishing my official work, I am now busy with motherhood.
Xingzi turned his head with waterfall-like green silk hair, and looked at it intently under the two emerald eyebrows. His soft and slightly beautiful eyes were full of infatuation, and he said in a trembling voice: "Jia Jun,
Hmm~"
But he saw the young man put his arms around his plump waist, and immediately felt a warm breath coming to his soft and delicate lips.
At this moment, Jia Heng reached out and gently hugged Xingzi's plump waist, and in a few steps, he walked towards the inner room of the Nuan Pavilion.
I don't know how long it took, but Jia Heng turned his eyes and looked at the beauty with a blushing face and beautiful slender eyebrows, and the corners of her eyebrows were full of spring love, and bursts of joy could not help but fill her heart.
Under Xingzi's emerald willow eyebrows, a pair of beautiful eyes with sparkling water showed endless attachment, and said: "Jia Jun, are you leaving?"
Jia Heng stretched out his hand and caressed Xingzi's smooth and tender shoulders and said, "Yes, I have some things to do later. I will come to accompany you when I am free in two days."
Xingzi let out a soft "hmm", and then he gently closed his charming and flowing eyes, as if immersed in the afterglow of some kind of stormy sea, and said: "I hope Jiajun has a good time and come back often in the future."
Jia Heng: "..."
What I said here gave me a sense of immediacy that "the uncle will come to play often" in the future.
However, considering the nature of Japanese women to charm men, it is reasonable.
While Jia Heng was speaking, he stood up, put on a pair of black Chaoyun boots, and walked quickly out of the hall.
When Jia Heng returned to Ningguo Mansion, he just entered the study and saw Chen Xiao.
Under Chen Xiaocuili's beautiful eyebrows, her beautiful eyes were as bright as water. She glanced at the young man in the python suit and said, "Well, the flying pigeon at Jianmen Pass passed the letter."
As he said that, he handed over a piece of paper in his hand.
Jia Heng's face became solemn, and he reached out to take the paper from Chen Xiao.
Chen Xiaodao: "Xie Zaiyi defeated Jianmenguan City, Gao Cheng, Gao Bo and the Gao family brothers died in the battle, Chen Yuan was captured alive, and Wei King Chen Ran...died in the rebellion."
Jia Heng's heart was shaken involuntarily, and he exclaimed in shock: "This...this King of Wei is dead."
I remember that the first time he met the King of Wei was in the 14th year of Chongping. Then with the help of the King of Wei, openly and secretly, he married Xianning.
Unexpectedly, King Wei actually died in the chaos.
Really, the world has changed, things have changed, people have changed, and all of a sudden six or seven years have passed.
"Where is Chen Wei?" Jia Heng suddenly remembered something, frowned, and asked instead.
If Liang Wang Chen Wei also dies, I'm afraid Tianniuer will be heartbroken.
However, because of having twins of a dragon and a phoenix, it is not too painful to live in.
Chen Xiao shook her pretty head and said, "Chen Wei doesn't know the situation yet, I'm afraid it's more serious than bad."
Jia Heng was silent for a moment and then said: "It's time for the war in Sichuan to end."
He had no involvement in this war at all, and had no idea how Xie Zaiyi and others carried it out. Now that they had achieved a complete victory, it could also be considered a successful conclusion.
There will not be many subsequent battles.
Chen Xiaoni glanced at the young man in the python suit, was surprised, and said: "If such a big thing happened, why don't you go to the palace and talk to the two empresses?"
Jia Heng was silent for a moment, nodded and said, "I have to go into the palace to talk."
With that said, he quickly left Ningguo Mansion without lingering and headed towards the palace garden.
…
…
Kunning Palace, in the palace——
Zhen Qing is wearing a dress with red and white embroidered silk threads intertwined, her bun is as gorgeous as a waterfall of green silk, and her face is as bright as the clouds. She is currently teasing her daughter Yin Yin with her slender hands.
Yinyin raised her pink and plump face with a little baby fat. Under her two beautiful eyebrows, her lively eyes were like black grapes. They turned around and said in surprise: "Mother, today
Why didn’t you see your godfather enter the palace?”
Zhen Qing pinched her daughter's rosy cheeks, smiled and said, "Yin Yin, your godfather is busy with things outside."
Yinyin curled her lips and said in a sweet voice: "My godfather said last time that he would take me to Ningguo Mansion to play with my two sisters, but now I haven't seen anyone either."
Although the beauty has a beautiful and gorgeous face, although she is not wearing makeup, her brows with a hint of motherliness are full of joy between the corners of her eyes.
At this moment, a beautiful young female official entered the palace and said in a charming voice: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, King Wei is here."
Zhen Qingshu's beautiful face was extremely peaceful, her red lips opened slightly, and she softly uttered one word: "Xuan."
Then, I saw the young man in python suit walking into the warm pavilion in the west wing, bowing his hands and saying in a low voice: "I have seen the Queen Mother. She is a thousand years old."
Zhen Qing looked at Jia Heng and said teasingly: "Prince Wei, why do you have time to come to my place?"
Jia Heng whispered: "Madam, Jianmen Pass was attacked by the Duke of Liao."
Hearing this, Zhen Qing couldn't help but feel inexplicably happy, and asked: "When did this happen?"
Jia Heng said in a deep voice: "Just now, the Jinyi Mansion received a message from the flying pigeon from Jianmen Pass. The Duke of Liao has broken through Jianmen Pass. Both the Gao family brothers fell in love. Chen Yuan was captured alive and Chen Ran died.
In the chaos of the army."
Zhen Qing sighed with emotion and said in a trembling voice: "The Duke of Liao is really brave and good at fighting. Chen Ran is dead."
Thinking back to the vassal king who once competed with the King of Chu for the crown prince's position, his mother is now competing with her for a man, no, she also wants to take away the throne of her family Jie'er. Now it is true that any unjust behavior will lead to death.
Thinking of this, Zhen Qing couldn't help but feel an unspeakable joy in her heart.
Jia Heng said: "Mother, the rebellion in Bashu has been put down, and everything in the world is now peaceful."
Of course, the recovery of the Western Regions and Tibet will only happen in two years.
In recent years, the Han Dynasty has been fighting continuously. Although the national treasury has been extremely rich due to the popularity of the new law, the soldiers have long been tired of war.
Zhen Qing's fair and gleaming snow-skinned face could be seen overflowing with joy, and with a touch of coquettishness in her voice, she asked: "Yes, no, where is it in the northwest? Have you ever played a triumphant song?"
Jia Heng said: "Previously, Junggar Khan Baturhui died in battle, and Galdan is also withdrawing his troops at this moment. I think the military situation that the northwest siege has been resolved should be on the way."
Zhen Qing nodded, and then asked: "Hiding place?"
Jia Heng said: "The confrontation is still going on in Tibet. I guess it won't be long before there is good news."
Zhen Qing smiled and said in a brisk tone: "After the chaos in Bashu is settled, the northwest and Tibet are plagued by scabies. The imperial court can easily pacify it by sending a general to lead troops and horses to conquer."
In fact, Zhen Qing wanted to say that there was no need for the imperial court to conquer barren lands like Tibet and the Western Regions in the future.
Of course, this is the disadvantage of women in power. Their vision is not broad enough. They only focus on one-third of an acre of their own land and are complacent.
Jia Heng said: "Yes."
Zhen Qing asked: "Why don't you go to the cabinet to talk and discuss it?"
Jia Heng responded softly and said: "Then I will go to the cabinet to talk to several cabinet ministers about this matter."
Under Zhen Qing's emerald willow-leaf slender eyebrows, her long, narrow, clear beautiful eyes held a hint of blazing passion, and she said, "The Ai family has something else to tell you."
Jia Heng was speechless for a moment.
Then, without saying much, she followed Zhen Qing towards the inner room of the Nuan Pavilion.
Under Zhen Qing's curved eyebrows, her beautiful eyes seemed to be filled with indescribable charm, and she said in a trembling voice: "The Ai family is happy now, so I will only serve you once."
As she spoke, the beauty knelt down and came close to the young man in the python suit, her slender hands as dexterous as a butterfly.
Jia Heng looked out the window in a daze under his sharp eyebrows, clearly thinking about the next court situation.
Xie Zaiyi put down the Bashu Rebellion, which severely dealt a blow to the arrogance of the "defeating Jia" forces.
After that, the opposition forces in the court were purged, and Li Zan and Xu Lu didn't know what they were planning.
He couldn't help but lure the snake out of its hole.
Compared with the Sichuan Rebellion, which may have caused some unpredictable changes, this time it happened more in the capital, and everything was under control.
In the afternoon, Jia Heng left the Nuan Pavilion and headed outside. At this moment, his fair and clear face could not help but show a sense of relief. After thinking about it, he calmed down and went to see Empress Song.
In the palace——
The fair-skinned beauty, with willowy eyebrows and starry eyes, is holding a book with a blue cover in her hand, and she is reading the contents of the book with a focused expression.
The beauty didn't know that her two biological flesh and blood had already died in the land of Bashu.
At this moment, a female official entered the palace and said in a soft voice, "Your Majesty, King Wei wants to see you."
When Empress Song heard this, her willow eyebrows were as curved as a crescent moon. There was a hint of surprise in her shining eyes, and she said in a trembling voice: "Xuan."
After a while, the young man in python suit came in from the outside, bowed to Empress Song and said, "I've met your empress."
"King Wei, please get up quickly." Queen Song glanced at the young man in the python suit under her emerald eyebrows, and said in a low voice.
Under the curved eyelashes, Queen Song's beautiful eyes were as bright as water. She asked in surprise: "How come King Wei has time to come to this palace?"
Jia Heng said: "Your Majesty, there is something I want to report to you."
He really didn't know how to tell sweet girl.
It is undoubtedly a cruel thing for a sweet girl to have a white-haired person give a black-haired person.
Of course, he could also pretend to be dead, not act as the crow messenger, and let someone else notify Empress Song. This way he would not have to bear the torrent of Empress Song's emotions immediately, but he would definitely be accused of being heartless and unrighteous afterwards.
Then, the beauty hugged her knees and was suddenly surrounded by darkness. After all, I was the one who carried everything...
Under the plump eyebrows of the Song Empress, she looked at Jia Heng in a daze, and the soft smile on her fair-skinned face couldn't help but shrink a little, because from Jia Heng's solemn deeds,
It seemed like I felt an ominous feeling.
"What's the matter? Ziyu." Empress Song's pink lips parted slightly, and she looked intently.
Jia Heng was silent for a moment and said: "Madam, the war in Bashu has made significant progress."
Queen Song looked surprised and asked softly: "What major progress?"
"Your Majesty, Jianmen Pass has been breached." Jia Heng put on a straight face and lowered his expression, and said in a low voice.
"It's a good thing that Jianmen Pass has been broken. The Bashu Rebellion will be put down." Empress Song's pale and slightly pink cheeks, her eyes shining brightly, and a faint smile couldn't help but curl up at the corner of her mouth.
Jia Heng said expressionlessly: "Mother, the Gao family brothers were killed in battle, Chen Yuan was captured, Chen Ran...Chen Ran died in the rebellion."
When she heard that Chen Ran died in the rebellion, Empress Song felt a "bang" in her mind, as if being struck by thunder. On her snow-skinned and jade-faced face, the prosperous smile gradually froze, and she said in a trembling voice:
"Ran'er..."
As she spoke, the beauty felt almost sad at this moment and was about to cry.
Jia Heng was silent for a moment, and then said comfortingly: "My dearest lady, please show your condolences and acquiesce."
The empress of Song Dynasty had tears rolling down her face, and she couldn't help but choke up her voice, as if she was crying, and asked: "Where is Wei'er?"
Jia Heng looked solemn, shook his head slightly and said, "There is no news yet."
Queen Song's delicate body swayed, her heart sank to the bottom of the valley, her two emerald eyebrows were raised, her sparkling beautiful eyes seemed to be filled with soft and shining charm, and she sobbed:
"Wei'er, my Wei'er."
At this moment, Qianqian looked at her mother with a puzzled expression, feeling curious in her heart.
Your mother is fine, why are you crying?
Could it be that the brother-in-law bullied the mother?
Jia Heng said in a warm voice, "Please express my condolences and stop by."
Empress Song's fragrant and fragrant face could not help but reveal a hint of sadness, and she said in a trembling voice: "How do you want me to express my condolences? Ran'er, my Ran'er..."
Jia Heng sighed softly and said: "I would like to express my condolences to you. Even if you don't think about yourself, you still have to think about Qianqian and Luoer. Please take care of your body and bones."
Under the emerald eyebrows that resembled Chunshan Yuandai, Empress Song's face softened slightly. Her phoenix eyes were as bright as water as she looked at the boy in the python suit and said, "Who killed Ran'er?"
Jia Heng was silent for a moment and said: "He died in the rebellion. It's hard to say who was responsible. Madam, this matter is difficult to investigate, and there is no way to investigate it."
Queen Chunshan of the Song Dynasty, with her beautiful eyes full of charm, was almost ready to cry. She was surprised and asked, "Then how are you going to give Ran'er a posthumous title?"
Jia Heng frowned and whispered: "Chen Ran is a commoner, how can he be given a posthumous title?"
"Humanity, once dead, all sins will be wiped out. After all, he is the legitimate son of Emperor Sejong Xian. Although he made some mistakes because he was young and ignorant, he was young and inexperienced, but his feelings are pitiable." Empress Song frowned,
Her beautiful eyes were as bright as water and she whispered.
Jia Heng was silent for a moment, surprised, and asked: "If the posthumous title contains encouragement and sympathy for Chen Ran, how will the court deal with it?"
Giving a posthumous title to a vassal king who rebelled in Bashu will undoubtedly encourage people all over the world to actively rebel?
This matter can only be done by the current young emperor, who will take charge of the throne in the future, to show the magnanimity of the Tian family and the great kindness of the emperor, and then issue a decree.
Empress Song's jade face, as crystal clear as snow, seemed to have a look of anger, and she said: "I don't care, you can think of something yourself."
At this moment, the beauty is like a little girl acting coquettishly and asking for candy.
Qianqian widened her black grape-like eyes and looked at her mother with a blank expression. She was obviously a little confused. What happened to her mother-in-law and brother-in-law?
Jia Heng stared at the little girl with eyes as wide as black grapes, feeling a little strange and inexplicable in his heart.
He would talk later, saying it would be bad if he hugged Sweet Girl and let Qianqian see her.
Well, it's not very good for children's growth.
Jia Heng said: "Your Majesty, please let Qianqian go to the side hall to play first. Your Majesty and I will talk about other things later."
Empress Song said softly "Hmm" and said nothing else. Then she took Jia Heng's hand and walked quickly towards the bedroom.
The two came to the palace. Empress Song sat down on a soft couch covered with a mattress. She took Jia Heng's hand and asked, "Can you tell me whether Ran'er can be given a posthumous title?"
Jia Heng looked hesitant for a moment and said in a low voice: "Sweet girl, the posthumous title is too difficult. Let's wait for about ten years before the new king takes over. At that time, we can show the filial piety and fraternity of the heavenly family."
This is also a common operation in feudal dynasties.
Empress Song's beautiful eyes were so red and swollen from crying that they looked like two peaches. At this moment, she seemed to have a hint of coldness as she said, "If Wei'er is still alive, what are you going to do with her?"
Jia Heng was silent for a moment, and under the pitiful gaze of the Song Empress, he said: "My Lady, the new king will issue a special decree to pardon King Liang's death penalty, but he will be imprisoned."
Since Chen Yuan is dead, there are not many problems whether Chen Wei executes him or not, and it will not cause trouble.
Empress Song said "Hmm" and nestled her green-haired head in Jia Heng's arms. A look of sadness appeared on her snow-skinned and jade face with tears rolling down her cheeks, and she murmured: "Zi Yu, I am now
But...it's only you."
Apart from Qianqian and Luoer, she has no one else.
Jia Heng gently stroked Empress Song's shoulder and said warmly: "Mother, there are Qianqian and Luo'er beside you."
Queen Song said softly "Hmm".
Jia Heng turned around and looked at the beauty's face filled with sadness, feeling a little pity in his heart.
