Chapter 1632 Li Zan: The rise and fall of the Han Dynasty can be achieved in one fell swoop!
Palace Garden, Hanyuan Hall
It is the autumn season, and the sunlight in the sky shines on the five-color glazed tiles, making the stream of light shine beautifully.
Outside the hall, a fair-skinned young eunuch stood under the eaves of the corridor, holding an ivory-white sword handle, and said in a high-pitched voice: "Go to court."
As soon as he finished speaking, two vermilion doors with carved dragons and embroidered phoenixes opened. The civil and military officials who were originally lined up in the white marble square stepped through a thick threshold and stared at the little emperor sitting on the soft couch and behind the curtains.
Zhen Qing.
"We have met Your Majesty. Long live Your Majesty. Long live Your Majesty."
Accompanied by the cry of "Long Live the Mountain", all the civil and military ministers in the palace saluted the little emperor and Zhen Qing.
Zhen Qing's eyebrows were slender and her eyes were piercing. She was sitting on a soft couch covered with a mattress. She summoned all the ministers to discuss matters in the palace. At this moment, in the majestic and solemn palace, all the civil and military ministers in the palace stood with their hands down.
.
Zhen Qing was sitting on a gilt chair, with a look of indifference under her emerald eyebrows.
Li Zan held an ivory wat that was as white as jade, walked out of the courtroom quickly, and said loudly: "The Queen Mother, as many as one million people have been affected by this disaster. The imperial court should urgently send people to the disaster area to provide relief."
Zhen Qing said: "Mr. Li Ge, how do you think the court should respond?"
Li Zan looked solemn and cupped his hands and said: "This disaster is serious, affecting a large area and involving a large number of people. The imperial court should send troops and horses to rescue and heal the injured. We need to coordinate local governments and counties. I am willing to go to Taiyuan, Shanxi to rescue the victims."
"Li Ge is old and has difficulty moving. Besides, the court has many government affairs, so we can't live without Li Ge." Zhen Qing was silent for a moment and said coldly.
Zhen Qing thought for a while and said: "King Wei, Taiyuan is an important town. Now it has suffered such a big natural disaster and needs troops and horses to provide relief. Why don't you, King Wei, go there in person? To express condolences on behalf of the imperial court."
Jia Heng said: "Your Majesty, I am willing to come."
Zhen Qing nodded, her pink lips slightly parted, and said: "The cabinet has drafted a decree that King Wei will serve as the Imperial Envoy and be fully responsible for the relief matters for the victims in Taiyuan Prefecture, Shanxi."
Jia Heng's face became solemn, he cupped his hands and said, "My dearest lady, I obey your decree."
If this was a plan by Li Zan and others to divert the tiger away from the mountain, then he would give Li Zan this opportunity.
Come to think of it, Li Zan and Xu Lu couldn't help but take action.
When Jia Heng was in doubt, behind two light yellow curtains, Zhen Qing spoke again: "Qi Qing, the Ministry of Household Affairs must raise money and food in advance to avoid food shortage in Taiyuan, Shanxi."
After hearing this, Qi Kun, who was below, came out of court holding an ivory wat tablet and said: "I obey the decree."
There was melancholy on Zhen Qing's face, and she sighed and said, "This earthquake reminds the Ai family of the time when the Emperor Gong's Mausoleum happened suddenly. The earthquake also caused the mountains to collapse and the ground to crack."
Well, this is because he is worried that others will blame this earthquake on his son's moral misconduct.
Jia Heng came out of court and said in a clear voice: "The Queen Mother, there is no need to worry. I am a great man. Now the world is at peace, the seas and rivers are clear, and the warehouses are abundant. Even if there is a disaster, we can quickly eliminate it and provide relief."
Zhen Qing's face was solemn, her eyes were bright, and she said in a deep voice: "King Wei, regarding the earthquake in Taiyuan this time, you are in charge of the relief work. You must work hard and do not slack off at all."
Jia Heng raised his hand.
Thus, the court meeting ended like this.
…
…
On this side, Jia Heng quickly walked out of the palace garden and dismounted on the bluestone road in front of Ningrong Street. Two young men approached and took Jia Heng's reins.
Jia Heng didn't say much else, his expression paused slightly, and he immediately returned to Ningguo Mansion.
Under Chen Xiaocui's slender eyebrows, she looked at the young man in the python suit with warm eyes and asked: "I'm back, what did the palace say?"
Jia Heng sighed and said: "Empress Zhen sent me a new errand and asked me to go to Taiyuan, Shanxi. This time the earth dragon is turning over Taiyuan."
This earthquake caused heavy casualties, and it can be described as a merciless natural disaster.
Chen Xiao had a thoughtful look on his face and said, "In my opinion, this is just a plan by Li Zan and others to divert the tiger away from the mountain."
Jia Heng raised his eyebrows, his eyes seemed to be shining with wisdom, and said: "Actually, I think so too."
Chen Xiao was surprised for a moment and asked: "Then what are you planning to do next... take advantage of the situation?"
Jia Heng shook his head and said, "I'm afraid it's not that simple."
Chen Xiaoruo said thoughtfully: "That's right, Li Zan and others are indeed not stupid people."
Jia Heng picked up the tea cup, took a sip, and said, "The next step is to see Cao transform into a dragon."
Chen Xiao was silent for a moment and said in a deep voice: "You just rashly go to Taiyuan City, Shanxi Province? You are not afraid of another incident in Beijing."
Jia Heng whispered: "I am also making preparations now."
Chen Xiao said: "What do you say?"
Jia Heng was silent for a moment and said: "I have asked Cai Quan to take charge of part of the troops in the capital camp as a restraint, and at the same time asked Jia Fang to pay attention among the imperial guards."
Although Cao Bianjiao has promised to cooperate with him, he must be on guard against others, so it is appropriate for Jia Fang to spy on him secretly.
Chen Xiao had a thoughtful look on his face and said, "This is good, so as to avoid other incidents."
While Jia Heng was talking, he came to the desk, spread out a piece of rice paper as white as snow, picked up a wool brush, sketched dots on the rice paper, and calculated the next plan.
If he leaves Shenjing, the city of Shenjing will inevitably be empty.
Of course, this will take time. It is impossible for Li Zan, Xu Lu and others to rush into trouble again just after he left Shenjing.
The delicate timing needs to be grasped.
Chen Xiaoxing came closer, raised his emerald-green eyebrows, and with his shining beautiful eyes, whispered: "Li Zan, send someone to keep an eye on him first."
Jia Heng was silent for a moment and said: "You stay in Shenjing and help me check the situation in case anything happens."
Chen Xiao asked: "Then when will you come back? If there are changes in Beijing, how will we deal with it here?"
Jia Heng said: "You send a message to me with a flying pigeon. Taiyuan is not far from the sacred city. I will come on horseback at starry night to help, and we will be there soon."
Chen Xiao thought for a while and said, "You shouldn't be careless."
On the other side, Gu Ruoqing came close, picked up a cup of fragrant tea, and handed it over.
Jia Heng took a blue and white porcelain tea cup and took a sip of tea. His face paused slightly and he stared at Gu Ruoqing.
Gu Ruoqing was surprised and asked: "The prince went to see the master earlier, what did the master say?"
Jia Heng's eyes were warm and smiling, and he asked: "Your master said that Ruo Qing has been here for so long, why is there still no movement in his stomach?"
Gu Ruoqing's cheeks flew up and she said inexplicably with embarrassment and anger: "Your Majesty, this is nonsense again. Master, she is such a good person, how could she say this?"
Jia Heng said with a hint of joking in his voice: "It's true, it's been two years since I passed away, and there's still no movement in my stomach."
Gu Ruoqing lowered his head slightly, and there seemed to be a hint of shame in his charming eyes.
Chen Xiao snorted coldly and said sarcastically: "I've been here for four or five years, and it's still the same?"
Jia Heng, Gu Ruoqing: "..."
Jia Heng's eyes fell on Chen Xiao's face and said, "Xiaoxiao, haven't you been moving recently?"
Chen Xiaoni glanced at Jia Heng, snorted and said: "How can it be so fast? Besides, I can't say it alone."
Jia Heng was silent for a moment and said softly: "Then the two of us will work harder in the future."
When Chen Xiaowen heard this, her face as white as snow was covered with a slight blush, and her beautiful, shining eyes were filled with charming waves, as if they were reflecting the shining stars.
Jia Heng turned to ask: "Xiaoxiao, please ask the Jinyi Mansion to closely monitor the movements of Li Zan and Xu Lu. If anything happens, report them in time."
Chen Xiao nodded and softly said yes.
While Jia Heng was speaking, he took Gu Ruoqing's delicate hand and walked towards the side room under Chen Xiao's gaze.
Gu Ruoqing's face as white as snow was filled with blush, her beautiful eyes were soft and gleaming, and her delicate body was hot and hot.
Jia Heng leaned forward to the beauty's bright pink lips, and immediately pressed her lips together, then gently grasped the sweet and refreshing feeling between her lips and teeth.
Gu Ruoqing said "Hmm", and her face, as white as jade, seemed to be covered with a layer of glowing light.
Jia Heng reached into the beauty's clothes and gently stroked her plump and soft body. Under his palms, the snowman kept changing.
Gu Ruoqing's face, which was as white as jade, suddenly turned red with embarrassment. Her beautiful eyes opened and closed, her eyes were as charming as silk, and her mind was immersed in the turbulent waves.
Jia Heng hugged Gu Ruoqing and fell on the bed, gently stroking the plump and plump hair.
Gu Ruoqing looked at the young man in the python suit, his delicate body trembling slightly.
I don’t know how long it took, but Jia Heng hugged the beauty, whose body was as soft as silkworms, and joked: "Ruo Qing, you must have missed me less during this time."
Gu Ruoqing's voice was filled with a hint of murmuring, "I really think about it day and night."
Jia Heng didn't say much. He lowered his head to hold the beauty's plump and soft body, but felt the beauty's delicate body tremble in his palm.
The two hugged each other again. Jia Heng smelled the fragrance between the lush hair and said, "Ruo Qing, what does your master usually like to do?"
Gu Ruoqing's temples were glistening with sweat, and her white and greasy skin was slightly flushed. She licked her slightly pink lips and said calmly: "Master, she usually likes to play the piano, nothing else."
Jia Heng nodded and said: "Then I will ask someone to find a valuable guzheng and give it to her."
Gu Ruoqingfang was extremely curious and asked, "Why did the prince think of asking the master about his preferences?"
Jia Heng stretched out his hand and gently touched Gu Ruoqing's plump shoulder and said, "She has worked hard for Ke Qing for a long time."
Under Gu Ruoqing's emerald willow eyebrows, her bright and watery eyes blinked. She couldn't help but stretched out her hand to tease Jia Heng gently and said, "The prince didn't tell the truth just now."
Jia Heng: "..."
Come on, does Ruo Qing know him so well now?
There was a hint of worry in Gu Ruoqing's pretty voice as she said, "Master, when I was young, I was alone. It seems that I have been like this for more than twenty years."
Jia Heng turned to look at Gu Ruoqing and asked, "So?"
Gu Ruoqing was surprised and asked, "What else could it be? Are you having some bad intentions?"
After all, they have been an old married couple for so many years, so they naturally know some of Jia Heng's quirks.
Jia Heng said: "I didn't say anything. What nonsense are you talking about here?"
Gu Ruoqing's white and flawless face was covered with a layer of blush as bright as the clouds. She nestled her hair like a waterfall in Jia Heng's arms. Under her emerald eyebrows, her bright eyes were charming.
Flowing waves.
Jia Heng leaned close to Gu Ruoqing and whispered a few words, which immediately made Gu Ruoqing inexplicably jealous.
…

Li Zhai
After Li Zan, the chief minister of the cabinet, went to court, he sat on a backrest chair in his study room and put his official hat on the small table beside him. His resolute and calm face was full of worry.
My mind is already undecided.
King Wei left the capital. It was said that this was the opportunity he had been waiting for, but for some reason, he felt a little unsettled.
At this moment, a servant entered the side room and whispered: "Mr. Ge, you have tea."
Li Zan took the tea cup and asked, "Is there any letter from the concierge?"
The servant raised his head and said, "It's not available right now. Master, I'd better go and have a look."
Li Zan waved his hand gently, with a solemn expression on his face, and said, "Go."
The concierge responded and then turned around.
Li Zan raised his eyebrows, and there was an inexplicable look in his eyes.
No matter what, this is an opportunity to help the Han Dynasty and bring order to the chaos, right now.
After a while, the servant came back and said in a deep voice: "Sir, there is a letter outside. Please take a look at it first."
Li Zan looked solemn and said loudly: "Bring it over and let me see it."
As the servant spoke, he handed over the letter in his hand.
Li Zan opened the book and looked at it. When he raised his head, his eyes were blazing. Immediately, an inexplicable meaning surged in his mind.
This is indeed a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
The servant responded softly, turned and left.
Li Zan got up from the seat behind the desk and paced back and forth.
Even if this time it might be King Wei's plan to "lead the snake out of its hole", he would try it.
…
…
The next day, the sky was bright and the sun rose in the east, dispersing the dew fog, and the "clack-clack" of horse hooves could be heard from the end of the street toward the distance.
At this moment, Jia Heng received an imperial edict from the palace, mounted a maroon horse, and under the retinue of Jinyi Mansion Guards, he left the Shenjing City without stopping and galloped towards Taiyuan City.
.
The entire Shenjing City suddenly seemed to fall into an eerie silence.
The people of Shenjing City are also paying close attention to the Taiyuan earthquake. In this era of "influence from heaven and man", such disasters have also caused a wave of rumors.
But soon, guards from the Jinyi Palace came out from all directions in Shenjing City to suppress the rumors.
Shenjing City, Li Zhai
In the study room, the lights were dim, and two tall figures could be seen reflected on a screen embroidered with landscapes, bamboos and stone patterns.
Li Zan frowned, looked at Xu Lu opposite, and said, "King Wei is gone."
Xu Lu said: "Although King Wei left the Shenjing City this time, there are still many party members in the Shenjing City to look after him."
Li Zan's thin eyebrows were like green pine trees, with a cold look in his eyes, and he said in a deep voice: "Princess Le'an is still in Shenjing City. Princess Le'an originally accompanied King Wei in the south and north, and she can be called King Wei's right-hand man.
His wisdom and strategy are not inferior to those of King Wei."
Xu Lu's face paused slightly, and he whispered: "Mr. Ge, Princess Le'an, what do you think should be done here?"
Li Zan showed a thoughtful look on his face and said: "When the time comes, let Cao Bianjiao send a team of soldiers and horses to surround the Ning and Rong mansions first."
Xu Lu thought for a while, and with piercing eyes under his sword-shaped brows, he spoke again: "King Wei also has Cai Quan, Jia Jia and other young generals under his command. They are generals in the capital camp and we also have to guard against them."
Li Zan said: "..."
Xu Lu said: "Mr. Ge, the former Prince of Nan'an County is still in the capital at the moment. It is better to contact him and use him as a general to take over the bravery of the capital camp and command the various regiments in the capital camp."
Li Zan nodded, raised his sword eyebrows, looked with burning eyes, and said: "The former King of Nan'an County and King Wei had accumulated old grudges before. You can promise the King of Nan'an County that once something big can be done, you can restore the county."
The Lord of the King."
Xu Lu nodded slightly and said loudly: "Yuan Fu's strategy is feasible."
Li Zan said loudly: "The rise and fall of the Han Dynasty depends on this!"
After Xu Luwen heard this, he nodded slightly, feeling a surge of pride in his heart.
