Chapter 1639 Jia Heng: This kid has a lot of potential, he has been like him since he was a child
…
Shenjing City, Ningguo Mansion
While talking, Jia Heng followed Chen Xiao to the study room, and the two of them sat down.
"Where is Xianning? Where is he now?" Jia Heng picked up the tea cup beside him, took a sip of the steaming tea, and raised his head to ask.
Chen Xiao was silent for a moment and said softly: "She should still be in the palace at the moment. Now the palace wants Xianning to blow pillows in front of you in the future."
Hearing this, Jia Heng said: "Pillow wind? It may not work."
Chen Xiao couldn't help but look surprised, his cold eyes were as bright as water, and he asked: "Next, do you really want the eighth prince Chen Ze to ascend the throne?"
Jia Heng frowned, then straightened his eyebrows and said softly: "It is unreasonable for Li Zan and Xu Lu to abolish the establishment based on mere speculation. How is this any different from the rebellion of Gao Zhongping and others?
"
It is naturally impossible for him to let Chen Ze become the emperor, otherwise, within three to five years, when Chen Ze is older, he will be able to calmly take over power and people's hearts.
After all, Chen Ze is the son of Emperor Sejongxian, with pure blood and unquestionable legal authority.
Chen Xiao was silent for a moment, with a look of worry in his clear eyes, and whispered: "Now that we are in a stalemate here, what should we do?"
The current situation is quite tricky, or in other words, since Zhen Qing supported the young master to ascend the throne, Jia Heng needs to make a choice.
The palms and backs of the hands are full of flesh, and any use of them will cause unrest in the house.
Jia Heng's face was as cold as frost and he said in a deep voice: "This is a rebellion. Someone should be sent to arrest Li and Xu and hand them over to a competent authority for punishment."
Li Zan said that Chen Jie was not the son of Emperor Guangzong, so he was not the son of Emperor Guangzong? What evidence is there for this slanderous statement against Sheng Gong?
He could also say that when Emperor Guangjong was unfortunately assassinated, these people bullied orphans and widowed mothers, which really failed Emperor Sejongxian's mission to entrust him with an orphan.
It is the right way to denounce the two men's wrongdoings, clarify the canons and punishments, and preach to all quarters.
After Chen Xiao heard this, his eyes showed a thoughtful look under his emerald willow eyebrows, and asked: "What about Chen Ze's throne?"
Jia Heng's face was as cold as frost, and his expression was indifferent, and he said: "I don't admit it for the time being. Without the cabinet, military and other princes and ministers discussing it, the so-called change of the throne is purely self-talk and it is difficult to convince the public."
Chen Xiao said: "With such an inconvenience, the world will definitely treat the change of throne of the Tian family as child's play, but that's why it's here."
Jia Heng said coldly: "Since there is doubt about Zhen's bloodline, let the son born to Empress Song be the new king."
Chen Xiao: "..."
So, you want to establish an emperor for fun, emperor per capita?
But then I thought about it, and my eyes lit up.
Jia Heng's eyes were deep and he said loudly: "During the Wu and Tang Dynasties, Ruizong and Li Dan were both established and deposed. Zhongzong was a puppet supported by Wu Zhao. After being deposed several times, no one in the world dared to resist Wu Zhao. All of them were right.
He bows his head and bows his head."
It was through such a series of changes of emperors that the Han Dynasty continued to weaken its power, and loyal ministers and righteous men were deceived and killed. Then, through political turmoil again and again, the original resistance forces were uprooted.
I just can't get in. This is a kind of political wisdom.
In fact, this was also the reason for "cooperating" with Li Zan and others in the first place.
Otherwise, there would be no need to expend so much effort by sending a few dead soldiers to assassinate Li and Xu.
But that's not how politics works. The result of such "killing without teaching" and engaging in "assassination politics" is that people in the world will follow the same path, and resistance will rise and fall.
In high-level political struggles, one can strike with thunder, but one cannot be reckless.
Moreover, Li and Xu are just the epitome of countless loyal people who care about the Chen Han clan.
Chen Xiaocui's slender eyebrows frowned slightly, her clear eyes showed concern, and she asked: "What about Xianning and Concubine Duanrong?"
If Chen Ze is deposed one day in the future, then Xianning and Concubine Duanrong may not be angry with Jia Heng.
Jia Heng's face paused, and after thinking for a while, he said: "Xianning is fine, I just need to coax her more, but as for Concubine Rong..."
At the end of the sentence, he pondered for a while.
Chen Xiaoqian glanced at Jia Heng and said coldly: "Don't mess around."
This person is not taboo about meat and vegetables. Don't extend his evil hands to Concubine Duanrong when the time comes.
This is different from the Song family. I'm afraid if it really breaks Xian Ning's heart, there will definitely be a lot of excitement in the house at that time.
Jia Heng felt strange for a moment and said, "I won't mess around."
He wouldn't care about that.
Chen Xiao snorted lightly and ignored Jia Heng.
At this moment, Jia Heng picked up a blue and white porcelain tea cup on the small table and took a sip.
Chen Xiao suddenly asked: "Where is the Beijing camp? Are you still in charge of Cao Bianjiao?"
Although Cao Bianjiao did not completely take charge of the Jingying camp, there were still many generals in the Jingying camp who were in charge of the Jingying camp and regiments, sharing the military power. However, it was not safe to entrust such great power to him.
Jia Heng was silent for a moment and said in a deep voice: "Let Cai Quan take over the capital camp again, and Jia Fang take over the palace confinement power again, and then negotiate with Li Zan and Xu Lu."
Chen Xiao was surprised, his eyes flickered, and asked: "Li Zan and Xu Lu may not be willing to give in."
Jia Heng's eyes were filled with coldness and he said, "It's not up to them."
In other words, Jia Heng did not go to the meeting alone at all. The military power of the capital was in Jia Heng's hands from beginning to end.
While the two were talking, they saw Qingwen crossing the threshold, entering the hall, looking at Jia Heng and saying, "Sir, the princess has asked you to pass."
A few days ago, such a big thing happened in the capital. Qin Keqing was already worried and frightened at home.
Jia Heng nodded and said, "Xiaoxiao, you wait here, I'll go over and take a look."
Chen Xiao said: "Then you go over."
Jia Heng immediately said no more and quickly walked out of the hall and returned to the back house.
In the back house, in the hall——
Qin Keqing was dressed in a vermilion dress, with a beautiful bun and pink hair. She was sitting on a pearwood chair with a graceful figure. Perhaps after giving birth, her face was slightly moist, white and rosy.
A little bit of baby fat.
Not far away, sitting were Qin Keqing's daughter, Jia Fu and Miaoyu's daughter, Jia Mo.
Two people are having fun.
Mrs. You, Second Sister You, and Third Sister You were sitting around, with smiles on their faces like flowers, teasing Jia Fu and Jia Mo from time to time.
Qin Keqing stared at the scene with emotion, and stared blankly, unable to conceal the joy in her voice: "The prince is back."
After a while, I saw the young man in python suit walking quickly from outside.
"Daddy~" Jia Fu and Jia Mo came quickly, looked at the young man in the python suit, called sweetly, and then ran over and broke into Jia Heng's arms.
While Jia Heng was speaking, he immediately picked up his two daughters and said softly: "Fu'er, Mo'er, have you missed your father these days?"
Jia Fu and Jia Mo raised their little pink faces, their black grape-like eyes were very lively, and said in a waxy voice: "Think about it."
Qin Keqing watched Jia Heng interacting with her two daughters with a warm smile, and the worries in her heart suddenly disappeared.
As long as your husband is here, nothing matters.
Third Sister You sounded surprised and asked: "Your Majesty, there has been chaos outside these past few days. I don't know what's going on."
Jia Heng was silent for a moment and said, "What can happen? It's just some minor twists and turns."
Qin Keqing said: "Husband, some time ago, the former Prince of Nan'an County Yan Ye and the old concubine of Nan'an came to the house to cause trouble."
Jia Heng said coldly: "Yan Ye got another chance and jumped up again?"
Qin Keqing asked: "Husband, from the West Mansion, the old concubine of Nan'an said that the Nan'an family's title of county prince will be re-conferred, and my husband's title of prince will also be removed."
Jia Heng raised his eyebrows with a cold look and said: "That old pious woman, Princess Nan'an, what does she know? It's just nonsense."
Qin Keqing was silent for a moment and said, "Husband, it's good that you know what's going on."

Jingying, Li Zhai
At this moment, Li Zan, the Grand Scholar of Wuyingdian, dragged his slightly tired body into the hall and sat down on a pearwood chair with a gloomy and incomprehensible expression.
At this moment, the servant served him a cup of steaming tea, and then slowly left.
Li Zan closed his eyes slightly and thought about the situation.
Things are looking great now.
At this moment, the old servant left and returned, whispering to Li Zan: "Mr. Li Ge, King Wei has returned to the capital."
Although Li Zan didn't have many close friends in the capital camp, he had previously sent people to the capital camp to keep an eye on Jia Heng's return to the capital.
Moreover, as the core of this political storm, Jia Heng's every move will fall in the eyes of the civil servants in the capital.
Hearing this, Li Zan was inexplicably shocked and whispered: "King Wei is back?"
King Wei came back not too slowly.
At this moment, a servant from outside entered the hall again and lowered his voice: "Mr. Ge, Master Xu is here."
After Li Zan heard this, he stood up and went out to greet him.
At this moment, Xu Lu looked solemn, looked at Li Zan, and said: "Yuan Fu, King Wei has returned to the capital."
Li Zan said in a deep voice: "I just heard from my servant that King Wei came to Shenjing this time well prepared."
Xu Lu nodded.
Li Zan said in a deep voice: "Xu Zongxian, this is not the place to talk. Please invite me to the palace."
While Xu Lu was talking, as Li Zan entered the study, the two of them sat down separately, in relative silence. They both felt an invisible pressure from this silent atmosphere.
At this moment, the servant served him some fragrant tea, and then slowly retreated.
Li Zan paused for a moment and said firmly: "The imperial edict to establish the Eighth Prince Chen Ze has been made known both at home and abroad. The so-called legitimacy is just that."
Xu Lu said: "The preparations for the enthronement ceremony are almost complete. We will wait for the enthronement ceremony to be over before deciding on the titles of monarch and ministers."
Li Zan's face was stern, his eyes flickered, and he said: "Princess Xianning and Concubine Duanrong will talk to King Wei first."
Xu Lu frowned, his eyes flickered, and said: "Although King Wei is lustful and romantic, he doesn't seem to be judged by women."
Li Zan shook his head and said: "Now the eighth prince Chen Ze has been appointed by Empress Dowager Feng to succeed him. There is no doubt about his legal authority. Even if King Wei doesn't recognize him, what can he do? Can he still risk the disapproval of the world?"
Xu Lu said: "Now, it is really not appropriate to do it again."
Li Zan had a righteous look on his face and said, "It's just a pledge of my life to the country."
Hearing this, Xu Lu also nodded, looked surprised, and asked, "How is Cao Bianjiao doing over there?"
Li Zan was silent for a moment and said: "The cabinet has drafted an edict to promote him to the rank of third-class Duke for his support. After the new emperor succeeds to the throne, the edict will be issued at home and abroad."
Xu Lu nodded and said: "Mr. Li Ge, where is the title of Nan'an County Prince?"
Li Zan looked thoughtful and said: "The cabinet is also making plans. It is said that meritorious deeds must be rewarded and delinquencies must be punished. After that, the two men will be banned from the capital camp and the palace to control the king of Wei."
Xu Lu nodded, acquiesced for a moment, and said in a deep voice: "In this case, even if you and I are separated from the court, there will be someone in the court to restrain King Wei."
Li Zan nodded, with a thoughtful look in his eyes.
Funing Palace
Concubine Duanrong was talking to Princess Xianning at the moment. She was holding her grandson in her arms. She was a graceful and beautiful woman, and there seemed to be an inexplicable meaning lingering between her eyebrows.
Immediately, under the beautiful eyebrows of the beauty, her beautiful eyes flickered and she said: "Xianning, your brother is busy with the throne these days, so you should go and see him more. Since you left the cabinet,
He rarely sees you."
Well, whether Ze'er's throne can be secure depends on Xianning's support beside Ziyu.
Under the emerald eyebrows of Princess Xianning, her beautiful eyes were as bright as water, and she said with a feeling of longing, "My brother has changed a lot in these years."
Because Princess Xianning didn't have much experience in witnessing Chen Ze's growth, she suddenly saw her former brother grow into a handsome and handsome young man.
Concubine Duanrong said: "Five or six years have passed and he has grown up."
It’s time to shoulder the responsibility that comes from the depths of his bloodline.
At this moment, a graceful and beautiful female official quickly entered the palace and reported to Concubine Duanrong: "Concubine Rong, King Wei has returned to the capital."
As soon as these words came out, Concubine Duanrong's jade face changed slightly, her watery eyes flickered, she calmed her mind and said, "Ziyu is back. Let's announce his entry into the palace."
I just want to test Ziyu's attitude later.
The female officer bowed respectfully, then turned and left without saying anything else.
As Concubine Duanrong spoke, she looked at Princess Xianning aside, with a hint of surprise in her clear eyes, and said, "Xianning, do you think Ziyu would be happy to see your eighth brother ascend the throne as emperor?"
Hearing this, Princess Xianning said softly: "Sir, you should be happy to see us. After all, we are all one family."
Concubine Duanrong sighed quietly and said in a low voice: "Now the civil servants are saying that Ziyu has disobedient thoughts and is very ambitious."
Princess Xianning's face changed slightly and she said in a clear voice: "Mother, sir, if he wanted to usurp the throne, he would not wait until today."
Under the emerald willow brows of Duanrong Imperial Concubine, her beautiful eyes were faintly gleaming, and she said softly: "That's not what you can say."
The so-called position determines the mentality. At the beginning, Concubine Duanrong knew that she could not compete with her sister, Empress Song, for the throne, so she always acted very Buddhist.
Princess Xianning's beauty suddenly changed, and she whispered: "Mother, concubine, sir, he has been loyal to the Han Dynasty these years. He has conquered east and west. Even when my father was alive, he never doubted him."
Princess Xianning was silent for a moment, staring closely at Concubine Duanrong, and said: "If the husband is not in charge of the military, there are countless careerists in the capital who are looking for the artifact. If it is true that the husband is not in charge of the army, can the mother and concubine really feel relieved?"
After hearing this, Concubine Duanrong was silent for a moment.
Princess Xianning was indeed right. If Jia Heng wasn't in charge of the army, Concubine Duanrong would really be worried.
Princess Xianning sighed and whispered: "If such a big thing happens in Beijing, I won't tell you sir."
After hearing this, Imperial Concubine Duanrong paused slightly and said, "This is Mr. Li Ge."
Women generally tend to shirk the blame on such critical issues.
At this moment, a graceful and beautiful female official from outside entered the palace and said, "Your Majesty, King Wei is here."
Concubine Duanrong's red lips parted slightly and she said softly: "Xuan."
As he was talking, he saw the young man in python suit walking around a brocade screen embroidered with mountains and rivers. As he was talking, he came closer and said, "Wei Chen has met Concubine Rong."
Concubine Duanrong looked at the young man in the python suit and said softly: "Ziyu, there is no need to be polite, come and see where you are seated."
Jia Heng didn't say much else, sat down, and then looked at his son Jia Zhu in Concubine Rong's arms, and saw a sweet smile on his face.
At this moment, the little guy stretched out a chubby little hand and gently grasped Concubine Rong's round and tall mountains, feeling very happy.
When Jia Heng saw this scene quietly, he felt a little... envious.
This kid has a lot of potential, he has been like him since he was a child.
Jia Heng suppressed the annoyance in his heart and asked: "I don't know why the empress summoned the ministers to the palace?"
Concubine Duanrong raised her beautiful eyebrows slightly, her beautiful eyes sparkling, and asked: "Zi Yu, how is the disaster relief over there in Taiyuan?"
Jia Heng said: "Taiyuan has raised food and supplies to help the victims, but there is trouble in Shenjing."
Concubine Duanrong had some bad premonitions when she heard Jia Heng's characterization of the recent events in Shenjing.
Sure enough, I heard Jia Heng say: "It is really treasonous for the cabinet and others to dethrone the son of Emperor Guangzong without a meeting of the courtiers."
Why should he persist? Because this is a slap in his face.
At the beginning, when discussing whether to appoint Chen Jie, he said in front of all cabinet ministers that Emperor Guangzong was appointed by Emperor Sejongxian, and since Emperor Guangzong died young and his son was alone, he should be enshrined in the ancestral temple.
To put it bluntly, I sympathize with the fate of Emperor Guangzong.
At first, the cabinet ministers agreed with his statement.
In other words, Chen Jie was established by him, and it also went through the civil and military cabinet and military meetings.
But now we are bypassing him and doing things like abolishing and establishing things, this is all because of him.
Concubine Duanrong saw the anger rising on the face of the young man in python suit, her eyes flashed, and she said softly: "Zi Yu, the urgency of this matter was that there was a mutiny in the capital and the siege of the palace. In order to take the overall situation into consideration, the cabinet had no choice but to cooperate with Empress Dowager Zeng deposed Chen Jie and appeased the mutinous generals in the Beijing camp."
Princess Xianning looked at the young man in the python suit and pursed her pink lips.
My husband doesn't seem very happy to see his eighth brother ascend the throne and become emperor.
Jia Heng's face was as gloomy as iron, and he said: "From the 21st year of Chongping to the first year of Jianxing, the rulers of the country changed several times, and the emperor was deposed frequently. If Li Zan and others understand the principle of taking the overall situation into consideration, they will He will not use his ministers to dethrone the emperor, causing the world to pay attention."
When Concubine Duanrong heard this, her heart sank to the bottom of her heart.
