Chapter 1645 Jia Heng: Mr. Li Ge, is the food in Zhao Prison still delicious?
Palace Garden, Funing Palace
Outside the palace, the wind and rain continued, the leaves of the sycamore trees kept swaying in the wind, and the rainwater on the eaves trickled down, washing the stone steps in front of the palace spotless.
Under the slender willow eyebrows of the noble concubine Duanrong, her beautiful eyes were shining like dew as she looked at the young man in the python suit, with a hint of thinking in her beautiful eyes.
The person in front of me turned out to be the son of the prince's old general. Is this really surprising?
So, all these years have been the enemy's revenge on His Majesty?
Concubine Duanrong thought about this, her cold and sparkling eyes flickered under her willow eyebrows, and she said softly: "Even if this is the case, it shouldn't be like this. Emperor Sejong Xian has cultivated you in every possible way and has been kind to you."
Jia Heng said: "My Lady, it is precisely because of the cultivation of Emperor Sejong Xian that I have managed the country of the Han Dynasty like an iron barrel, to pacify the barbarians on the outside, and to support the military and government on the inside. Only then has the country of Han Dynasty become prosperous and prosperous.
River clear."
After hearing this, Imperial Concubine Duanrong said with her slightly beautiful eyes under her slender willow eyebrows: "You are a good trader, and your attempt to usurp the throne is the greatest betrayal to Emperor Sejongxian."
Jia Heng's face was solemn, his eyes were deep, and he whispered: "Madam, if you say this, there won't be much fun."
Concubine Duanrong said solemnly: "Then you can't bully Emperor Sejongxian's wife. There is a god who looks up to you. You are so unethical. Aren't you afraid of retribution?"
The so-called adulterous wife and daughter to avenge the murder of their father. Is there such a method of revenge in the world?
Jia Heng said: "These things are not my original intention. Your Majesty should have some communication with Luoer's mother. It turned out to be a bad fate. I am deeply involved in it and I can't help myself."
Concubine Duanrong's face was as white as snow. Under her eyebrows, her beautiful eyes were as bright as water. She said solemnly: "Then Luo'er is your flesh and blood?"
Jia Heng said: "Concubine Rong, I didn't say that."
Concubine Duanrong's eyes flickered under her emerald eyes and delicate willow eyebrows, and she said in a deep voice: "You still don't admit it?"
Thinking that her daughter also gave birth to a son for Jia Ziyu, Concubine Duanrong could not help but feel an unspeakable anger in her heart.
How can there be such a truth in the world?
But then I thought about it, this kind of thing has always happened in the harem.
While Jia Heng was speaking, he stared at Concubine Duanrong under his sword-shaped eyebrows. He finally moved his eyes away from the two major principles and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, from now on, you will stay in peace in the harem and take care of yourself. The Eighth Prince
Over there, I will have a decent future."
When Concubine Duanrong heard this, her beauty suddenly changed a little, and she was inevitably startled and confused. She was stunned for a moment and said, "You are threatening me."
Jia Heng said coldly: "Concubine Rong, given the previous dethronement, what do you think will happen to the eighth prince?"
While talking, he stood up and headed outside.
After a while, the Eighth Prince Chen Ze walked into the palace, his eyes flickering, he looked at Concubine Duanrong and said, "Concubine, what did your brother-in-law say?"
Concubine Duanrong shook her head, her beautiful and cold jade face was covered with an indescribable gloomy color, and said: "Your brother-in-law, you have been hardened by the weight of the scale."
Under Chen Ze's thick eyebrows, there was an inexplicable color in his sparkling clear eyes, and he said: "Now, from the Beijing Camp to the Wucheng Army and Horse Division, and the Jinyi Guards House, they are all my brother-in-law's people. This time Li Ge has been abolished and established."
Young Emperor, things seem suspicious."
When Concubine Duanrong heard this, a thoughtful look appeared on her face, and she asked, "What does Ze'er mean?"
"Brother-in-law has always been resourceful, how could he give Mr. Li Ge a chance? This seems to be a deliberate attempt to sell a flaw to Mr. Li." Chen Ze frowned and said in a deep voice.
Concubine Duanrong was surprised and said: "You said this was your brother-in-law's plan?"
How is this possible? Wasn't it a war started by Li and Xu inciting the generals of the Beijing camp?
There seemed to be traces of wisdom in Chen Ze's clear eyes, and he said in a quiet voice: "I'm afraid that's what it's like, luring the snake out of the hole, using the plan, and then clearing Li Xu and others out of the court, so as to monopolize power."
When Concubine Duanrong heard this, her beautiful eyes flickered slightly and she said loudly: "So, your brother-in-law is really doing it carefully, but what is the reason for him to do this?"
If you just want your own child to be the emperor, then Zhen's son will be his flesh and blood according to his bloodline.
Chen Zerong's expression paused slightly, and his bright eyes couldn't help but cast a gloomy look, and he said: "Mother, concubine, my brother-in-law is afraid that he will destroy the Zhen family's son."
After hearing this, Imperial Concubine Duanrong's green willow eyebrows were as green as spring mountains. Suspicion surged in her slightly beautiful eyes, and she said: "It is not impossible to use the hands of Li Zan and Xu Lu to depose the young emperor."
, and he changed his name to Chen Luo again..."
If the plan was really to establish a son of the Zhen family, then after returning to Beijing, the son of the Zhen family should be reset, but now it is changed to establish Chen Luo, which is really puzzling.
Chen Ze was silent for a moment and said firmly: "My brother-in-law acted like this because he really wanted to change the dynasty. By changing the emperor, he would cleanse the civil servants who opposed him in the court, and then, in order to change the dynasty."
Concubine Duanrong sighed softly and said, "If he wants to change his dynasty, what can we do?"
Chen Ze's face paused slightly and he said coldly: "I am just leading troops to fight against rebellion. As a descendant of Emperor Shizong, I should fulfill the responsibilities of the Chen Han clan."
After hearing this, Imperial Concubine Duanrong's jade face, as crystal clear as snow, suddenly changed and said, "Ze'er, don't act recklessly."
She had never thought about asking her son to become the emperor. If he could live a safe life, it would be fine.
Chen Ze responded softly, his face expressionless, but there was a burning anger in his heart.
…
…
Jinyi Mansion, Imperial Prison——
There are many iron fences, and you can see the palace guards wearing flying fish uniforms outside, holding an embroidered spring knife, looking alert, walking back and forth.
Li Zan was now wearing a new prison uniform, and his gray and white hair was tied into a bun with a pine wood grain. His old eyes were slightly drooped, and his whole body seemed to be enveloped in a sense of deathly silence and annihilation.
breath.
This is the first time since his birth that the chief minister of the cabinet, a bachelor of Wuyingdian, has been behind bars.
In the past, the nine ministers of the temple were now prisoners, and the fate of life was more mysterious and unpredictable than this.
At this moment, the sound of footsteps could be heard coming from outside the prison. I don’t know how long it took, but they were approaching.
"Li Zan, lunch is here." As he spoke, a guard in Jinyi came closer and took the meal in his hand.
Li Zan opened his droopy eyes slightly and looked at the Jinyi palace guard, his expression couldn't help but be in a trance.
It's been years since anyone dared to call him by his first name.
When the Jinyi Palace Guards turned around and left, Li Zan did not touch the fragrant food. Instead, he sighed softly and thought about the previous political affairs.
Jia Ziyu entered and exited the palace so easily, I'm afraid something had gone wrong in the capital camp.
At this moment, a tall and slender imperial guard slowly entered the hall and said in a deep voice: "Li Zan, King Wei is here."
While he was talking, he heard the sound of extremely chaotic footsteps approaching one after another. Immediately, he saw a young man in a python suit coming from outside. The guards beside him were holding torches and burning a "crackling" orange color.
The candlelight was flickering.
Immediately, he saw the young man in python suit slowly approaching, looking deeply at Li Zan, and said: "Mr. Li Ge, is the food in Zhao Prison still delicious?"
Well, this sentence is somewhat pretentious, with the smugness of a villain.
Li Zan raised his eyes and followed the source of the sound. Under his old eyebrows, he looked closely. When he saw the young man in the python suit, he asked: "King Wei, was it your plan to dethrone the young emperor?"
Jia Heng said: "Why did Mr. Li Ge say this?"
Li Zan stared closely at the facial expression on the face of the young man in python suit and said: "You led the Jinyi palace guards into the palace city, going in and out as if there was no one around. It can be seen that the palace guards, Shanhaihou Cao Bianjiao and others are all with him.
You secretly communicate with each other and echo each other from afar."
Jia Heng said in a deep voice: "What Mr. Li Ge said is wrong! Mencius said that those who have gained the Tao will have many help, but those who have lost the Tao will have little help. The palace ban the day before yesterday did not stop it. It just shows that Mr. Li Ge used the Queen Mother's decree to depose the young emperor and bully him.
Orphans and widowers are totally unpopular."
In fact, could Li Zan have controlled his female family members to blackmail him?
In fact it is impossible.
First, Li Zan and others regarded themselves as benevolent people and did not bother to threaten him with the life and death of his family members.
Secondly, Princess Xianning and even Chen Ze, who was supported by Li Zan, were his relatives, and objectively they were not allowed to do this.
Thirdly, Li Zan still wanted to negotiate with him more than to completely break up with him.
The most important point is that if it really harms his family, Cao Bianjiao, Jingying and others will definitely not dare to obey the order.
Li Zan looked at him aggressively and asked: "King Wei, if you want to usurp the world of Chen and Han, have you ever been worthy of Emperor Sejongxian who brought you down in your humble state?"
Jia Heng said coldly: "Lao Li Ge incited the soldiers in the capital, attacked the palace, and abolished the throne without permission. Can he ever be worthy of Emperor Sejongxian who entrusted his death?"
Li Zan said coldly: "The young emperor is not of Chen's blood."
Jia Heng's eyes were deep under his sword-shaped brows, and he said in a deep voice: "How did Mr. Li Ge conclude that the young emperor was not of Chen's blood? Wasn't all this just imagined by Mr. Li Ge? He could conclude that it was not true based on rumors alone.
The Chen family’s bloodline is too arbitrary.”
Li Zan looked solemn and said in a deep voice: "You and the Zhen family communicated privately, caused trouble in the palace, and caused civil and military affairs in the dynasty. Who knows?"
Jia Heng's eyes flashed aggressively and he said coldly: "Mr. Li Ge, these are just rumors from outside. Has Mr. Li Ge ever seen it with his own eyes?"
Li Zan's eyes were deep and somewhat dark.
Who can see this with their own eyes?
Jia Heng said in a deep voice: "Gao Zhongping used this to raise a rebel flag in Sichuan. Because of his own suspicion, the entire southwest was disturbed. Did Mr. Li Ge turn a blind eye to the lessons learned from the past?"
Li Zan said righteously: "The struggle for orthodoxy involves tens of millions of people, so what's the point of regretting it?"
Jia Heng retorted: "If this is a dispute over orthodoxy, tens of millions of people will be buried with it?"
Under Li Zan's old, pine-like brows, he glanced at Jia Heng and said coldly: "What is King Wei doing here? Is it to argue with Li?"
Jia Heng was silent for a moment and said in a deep voice: "Mr. Li Ge, it's just heroes showing sympathy to each other. If you and I hadn't cooperated with each other inside and outside the court, how could a great man achieve great things now?"
Li Zan couldn't help but look dazed for a moment, and he was also thinking about the past.
Jia Heng's eyes were burning and he said: "Mr. Li Ge, the rights and wrongs between you and me will be commented upon by future generations hundreds of years later."
Li Zan was shocked when he heard this.
Jia Heng said: "However, since Mr. Li Ge wants to repay Emperor Shi Zongxian with his own life, I will definitely fulfill Mr. Li Ge's wish. In the next two days, the imperial decree to accuse Li Xu of rebelling against the party will be issued. Mr. Li Ge is waiting quietly."
Good news."
After saying that, he turned around and left without saying much else.
When Li Zan heard this, his eyes as dark as water flickered slightly, and then he watched the young man in the python suit leave.
While Jia Heng was speaking, he did not leave the prison. Instead, he strode out of the cell where Li Zan was. He turned to look at the guards in Jinyi who were accompanying him and asked, "Xu Lu, where are you now?"
?”
"Your Majesty, please come this way." The hundred households in brocade clothes looked respectful and responded softly.
Jia Heng nodded, and then walked towards the prison where Xu Lu was being held.
At this moment, in the prison, the light was subtle and a little darker, and we could see the old man in prison uniform, who looked like a green pine tree.
Xu Luzheng was sitting cross-legged on a messy pile of hay, closing his eyes and concentrating, not moving at all about the food next to him.
"Your Majesty, Master Xu has been on a hunger strike for two days." The Jinyi Baihu said without saying anything else.
Jia Heng's bright and dim light flashed on his stern face one by one, and he said in a deep voice: "I, the king, go in and take a look."
Xu Lu has always been upright and upright.
Xu Lu heard the noise outside, followed the sound, looked at the young man in the python suit, and asked: "King Wei, you are here."
Jia Heng's face was solemn, his eyes flashed fiercely, and he said: "Xu Deqing, it's been a long time since we last seen each other."
Remember, when we first met, he was still the concubine of the Jia family who was framed by Jia Zhen. Because Xu Lu was upright, he came to the door to seek help. Almost ten years had passed in the blink of an eye.
Under Xu Lu's sharp eyebrows, he glanced at the young man in python suit and said coldly: "Is King Wei here to see the prisoner below?"
Jia Heng looked indifferent and said softly: "I just came to see an old friend off."
As he said that, his eyes flickered, and he stared at Qianhu in Jinyi beside him, and said, "Go and prepare some food and drinks. I'll give Mr. Xu a ride."
The Jinyi palace guard responded softly.
While Jia Heng was talking, he walked closer, and the lights flickered on Jia Heng's handsome and heroic face, which made him look gloomy and indescribable.
I was persecuted by Jia Zhen. At that time, I had no choice but to ask for help, so I went to seek help from Mr. Xu, who was the governor of Jingzhao at that time. Mr. Xu extended a helping hand."
Xu Lu was listening to Jia Heng's eloquent narration at this moment, his mind moved slightly, his eyes were deep, and he said in a deep voice: "King Wei, if you had known that one day, the Han Dynasty would be usurped by powerful ministers, on that day, Xu Lu would
I won’t help you.”
Jia Heng said in a cold voice: "I have no self as an envoy. The Jurchens outside the pass have already sent their troops into the pass, and their iron hoofs are ravaging the Central Plains. How can the Han Dynasty and the country be as safe as a rock today?"
Before Xu Lu could say anything, Jia Heng said in a deep voice: "Besides, with my king's wisdom, even without Xu Zongxian, I still have a way to protect myself."
Xu Lu raised his eyebrows, with a look of resentment in his eyes, and said in a deep voice: "You are really a rebellious minister and a traitor. The law of heaven is clear. There are benevolent people with lofty ideals. You will succeed one after another to punish the traitors in the country!"
Jia Heng sneered and said mockingly: "Xu Deqing, who incited the soldiers in the capital to abolish the establishment, isn't he a treacherous minister and traitor?"
Xu Lu raised his eyebrows and said, "We are waiting for the great Han Dynasty."
Jia Heng was silent for a moment, then paused and said, "I do it for... the common people in the world."
When Xu Lu heard this, he suddenly felt inexplicably shocked.
For all the people in the world, these four words are so important.
In comparison, in the Han Dynasty, the honor and disgrace of a family and a surname were insignificant and as light as a piece of grass.
Jia Heng's eyes showed a distant look and said: "Since the fourteenth year of Chongping, the Jurchens have been raging in Liaodong. The Han Dynasty was unable to resist, and they successively lost Korea, Japan and other vassal countries. Now, the Western countries have refined their firearms and their trade is booming.
, to control the trade, now we, the Han Dynasty, are still fighting among ourselves. How can we compete with the Fanyi on the sea hundreds of years later? At that time, we shaved our heads and changed clothes, worshiped foreign countries, and favored foreign countries. Where is the backbone of China? "
Thinking of the later generations who moaned and moaned "I am the Qing Dynasty" under the sharp ships and cannons of the great powers. If his ancestors could not compete for a chance, wouldn't they have traveled through time in vain?
When Xu Lu heard this, his eyes were deep, he looked at the young man in the python suit, and said quietly: "Going on a military rampage and enjoying great achievements are definitely not a blessing to the common people."
Jia Heng said: "In the past, if there were no three emperors and five emperors who conquered the barbarians and declared power in all directions, the emperors of Qin and Han, and the herdsmen of nine states, how could China be as vast as it is today? The sin is in the present, but the benefit is in the future. Future generations will comment on the right and wrong.
"
When Xu Lu heard this, he was silent for a moment.
