Chapter 1660 Chen Xiao: This is starting from scratch.
Shenjing City, Palace Garden, Kunning Palace
While Jia Heng and Empress Song were talking, they quickly walked towards the warm pavilion in the inner room. The two of them cuddled each other and sat on a soft couch next to the Xuan window.
While Jia Heng was speaking, he came close to the beauty's face, pursed her soft lips, and nibbled greedily.
Empress Song's gentle and charming eyebrows could not help but feel shy, her eyelashes drooped down, and her charming eyes were filled with hazy mist.
While Jia Heng was speaking, he put his arms around Empress Song's plump and delicate body and fell towards the bed surrounded by curtains.
Immediately the aroma overflowed and the mist spread in all directions.
Empress Song's heart trembled inexplicably. The sides of her graceful and beautiful face were as red as drunkenness. She stared at the young man in python suit who was wreaking havoc in front of his clothes, and her mind couldn't help but move a little.
After a while, Jia Heng stared at Empress Song's face, which was white and rosy and soaked with sweat, and gently lifted a strand of hair by Empress Song's ear, feeling somewhat inexplicably happy.
The sweet girl is really becoming more and more charming. The ripeness and charm that silently flow from the corners of her eyebrows and eyes make people's hearts skip a beat, especially the rough waves that make people dizzy.
Empress Song's two white, tender and silky slender hairs were wrapped around the back of Jia Heng's neck, and then her hands spread to Jia Heng's shoulders. Her slightly opened bright eyes seemed to overflow with a trace of obsession and murmuring.
Jia Heng lowered his eyes, looked at Empress Song, and said: "Your Majesty, I have to take good care of Luo'er recently. I will meet with the ministers in a few days."
Empress Song's lazy and soft voice, with a hint of murmur and coquettishness hidden in it, said: "Don't worry."
Jia Heng didn't say much else. He hugged Queen Song's plump and soft body and said, "You have a good rest first. I have to go see Zhen Qing."
After hearing this, Queen Song opened her charming eyes and said sarcastically: "You really haven't left anyone behind."
Jia Heng did not speak at this moment. He gently opened a quilt embroidered with hibiscus patterns, took the black and red satin python robe and put it on, and then put on his boots.
…
…
While Jia Heng was speaking, he left Kunning Palace and walked along the vermilion palace with carved beams and painted buildings toward the palace where Zhen Qing lived.
Zhen Qing was dressed in a plain white dress, standing in front of the window, looking at the overlapping rockery rocks in the courtyard, her eyebrows seemed to be covered with a layer of lilac-like sadness.
At this moment, a female official quickly entered the Nuan Pavilion and said, "Your Majesty, King Wei is here."
After Zhen Qing heard this, she turned her head with a waterfall of green hair, and traces of surprise suddenly appeared on her graceful and beautiful face.
After a while, a young man in python suit came from outside and said warmly: "Your Majesty."
Zhen Qing turned her green-haired head and looked at the young man in python suit. Under Chunshan's black eyebrows, those charming and flowing eyes were full of shame and anger, and said: "You still know how to come here?"
That day, this bastard forced her to serve with Mr. Song.
Jia Heng said: "This is not to come to the palace to see you. Since you don't like it, I will go back first."
When Zhen Qing heard this, her face as white as snow suddenly turned pale, and she scolded: "Stop for me!"
This bastard, doesn't he know that she has been thinking about him these days?
Jia Heng turned around, with a bright smile on his face, and asked, "What's wrong? Are you reluctant to leave me again?"
Zhen Qing snorted coldly and said, "What are you doing here looking for me? I only have one child here whose father doesn't care for me, but there are no internal guards or spies for you to take away."
Jia Heng couldn't help but have a look of thought on his face. He turned to look at Chen Luo not far away, and met a pair of eyes that were as smart and clear as black grapes. It was his son Chen Jie.
At this moment, Jia Heng also felt a little compassion in his heart.
After all, Chen Jie is also his flesh and blood. Now that he has missed out on a big position, when he grows up in the future, will he resent his status as an illegitimate son?
Jia Heng walked closer, stared at Zhen Qing, looked at the slightly haggard beauty, and said, "Qing'er, these days have been really hard on you."
Zhen Qing looked at Jia Heng angrily and said angrily: "Since you know that I am suffering, you still treat me so harshly?"
Jia Heng gently took Zhen Qing's slender hair, looked at her plump and bright face, and said, "Okay, the child is still here."
Zhen Qing turned to look at Chen Jie who was not far away, and warned: "Jie'er, you go to the side hall first, and I will talk to your godfather for a while."
Hearing this, Chen Jie's face showed surprise. He softly said "Hmm", stood up, and walked quickly towards the distance.
Jia Heng raised his eyebrows, looked at Zhen Qing, and whispered: "How are you doing, Jie'er?"
"Is it okay? The good throne has fallen into the hands of others." Zhen Qing was a bit unscrupulous and condemned.
Jia Heng took Zhen Qing's slender hand, came to the side and sat down on the soft couch. He looked at Zhen Qing and said, "The throne may not be that good. How can you work hard and be a rich and idle person?"
Zhen Qing stared at the young man in the python suit and said, "Then you were still planning and working hard before?"
Jia Heng paused and said, "Because I bear the burden of all the people in the world on my shoulders."
Zhen Qing's face paused slightly, and she said disdainfully: "You are talking nonsense!"
Jia Heng turned around with her innocently pretty face, stared at that charming face, reached out and gently put her arm around Zhen Qing's shoulders, smiled, and whispered: "You will know in the future?"
Zhen Qing's jade face was as red as drunk, and she was extremely embarrassed and said, "What can I know? Hmm~"
Before he finished speaking, he saw the young man in python suit coming closer and covering his lips.
Under Zhen Qing's emerald slender eyebrows, her sparkling beautiful eyes blinked, her trembling eyelashes were curved and thin, covering her beautiful, bright jade face, and two rose-red blushes appeared unconsciously.
.
After a while, Zhen Qing raised her head with green hair as beautiful as a waterfall. Under her green eyebrows, her eyes were full of lust and she looked at the young man in the python suit.
As the saying goes, thirty is like a wolf and forty is like a tiger. Zhen Qing missed Jia Heng very much in the palace.
While Jia Heng was speaking, he hugged Zhen Qing's plump body and sat down on the soft couch beside her.
Zhen Qing's jade face as white as snow was filled with shame, and she was clearly very angry, and said: "I just had an infatuated relationship with that old woman, and now you come to see me, don't you think it's dirty?"
Jia Heng gently stroked Zhen Qing's slender shoulders, with a bright smile in his clear eyes, and said: "You have all been honest with each other, no one should dislike the other."
Well, when the mopan and the sweet girl came together, it was really unexplainable.
After Jia Heng finished speaking, he stretched out one hand, hugged Zhen Qing's plump and delicate body tightly, and helped the beauty undress and undress.
After a while, the beautiful woman with snowy skin and jade skin appeared in front of her eyes. Zhen Qing suddenly put her arms around Jia Heng's neck. Under her two willow eyebrows, her charming eyes seemed to be filled with endless love of spring.
rhyme.
Jia Heng hugged Zhen Qing tightly at this moment, looking at the plump and white face, smelling the fragrance between the lush hair, feeling inexplicable.
Jia Heng lowered his eyes and looked at Zhen Qing, who was serving him. Her resolute and calm face showed a sense of relief from time to time.
After all these years, the skill of millstone has really become more and more proficient.
After a while, Jia Heng looked at the hot and beautiful face, put his arms around the beauty's plump waist, and patted the plump and round figure.
Soon, the old horse knew the way, and the tired bird returned to the forest.
The sides of Zhen Qing's snow-skinned jade face were already as bright as clouds, and she was clearly blushing. Under the two green eyebrows, her beautiful eyes were as bright as rainbows, and she said with a trembling voice: "You
Be gentle~"
Jia Heng didn't say much else. He carried Zhen Qing's fragrant and plump body to the window lattice and looked at the overlapping rockery outside the hall.
It was winter time, and the dazzling sunlight shone on the beaded flower hairpin on the beauty's head, shining brightly.
Just like that, after a while, Zhen Qing's cold and beautiful face was flushed with blush on both sides, and under her slender eyebrows as green as black, her charming and flowing eyes seemed to be moistened with soft waves.
.
Jia Heng hugged Zhen Qing's plump and soft body, and when he lowered his eyes, his heart skipped a beat.
Jia Heng couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, and his heart was a little pounding.
At this moment, Zhen Qing's jade face, as white as snow, was blushing on both sides, her mouth was open, she was breathing slightly, and her brows and corners of her eyes were filled with endless spring love.
I don't know how long it took, but Jia Heng hugged Zhen Qing's plump and delicate body, and there was a bit of satisfaction on his face.
Zhen Qing was out of breath and said: "Jie'er no longer has the throne, when will he be crowned a prince?"
Jia Heng said: "When the new emperor changes his reign in the first month of next year, he will make Jie'er king. Please be patient."
Hearing this, Zhen Qing softly said "Hmm". A touch of unspeakable embarrassment appeared on her rose-red face, and she asked: "Are you still able to do what you promised back then?"
?”
Jia Heng, the second monk, was confused and asked, "What did I promise?"
Zhen Qing: "..."
Have you forgotten all this? Well, it seems that this bastard really has no clear commitment.
Zhen Qing's charming voice contained a hint of trepidation as she said, "After you win the throne in the future, you will establish Jie'er as the Eastern Palace."
When Jia Heng heard this, his movements naturally stopped and he asked in surprise: "When did I promise this?"
He doesn't seem to have said this? It seems that Mopan is fishing in troubled waters to confuse the public.
Zhen Qing's flawless white face was as red as drunkenness, her temples were dripping with sweat, and the glistening beads of sweat flowed all the way to her collarbone, making her icy skin look even more beautiful.
And under the two slender and green willow eyebrows, there is a bit of charm and charm in the narrow, clear and beautiful eyes.
"Then the East Palace will eventually be established in the future, right?" Zhen Qing said intermittently out of breath.
"Let's talk about it when the time comes. Even if we want to establish the East Palace, we still have to choose the best among all the disciples." Jia Heng raised his eyebrows, gently held Zhen Qing's plump waist, and promptly stopped Zhen Qing by asking her questions.
Qing asked carefully.
At this moment, the cold wind of early winter outside the palace was gently blowing on the plane trees in the courtyard, and the bare branches could be seen rustling in the courtyard.
I don't know how long it took, but Jia Heng turned to look at Zhen Qing, who was nestled in his arms, with a look of surprise in his eyes.
Jia Heng and Zhen Qing were obsessed with each other for a while, and then they left the palace and returned to Ningguo Mansion instead of lingering in the palace.
In a square study room, Chen Xiao was sitting behind a lacquered wood desk, with a thoughtful look on his pretty face, and asked: "Are you back?"
Jia Heng nodded and said, "Yes, I'm back."
Chen Xiaoqing's beautiful face was expressionless, she took a piece of paper and handed it over, saying: "This is a secret message sent by the Jinyi Mansion detective in the south of the Yangtze River. You can read it first."
Jia Heng looked slightly surprised. He reached out and took a piece of paper as white as snow from Chen Xiao's hand. He read it and frowned, saying: "The gentry in the south of the Yangtze River are so brave! How dare you spread rumors?
Matters, unreasonable discussion of the center."
With Jia Heng annihilating the rebels led by Li Xu and monopolizing power, it is impossible for him to win the favor of the people in the world.
The openly opposed opponents, including the Gao family, Li Zan, Xu Lu and others, were all defeated, imprisoned or killed. The rest were those who dared not oppose openly and were making trouble secretly.
Chen Xiaodao: "You are assisting the government in the central government, and the Jiangnan gentry has quite a lot of local complaints. Some Jiangnan gentry who originally criticized the New Deal secretly spread rumors, saying that you bully orphans and widows, and seek to usurp the throne."
Jia Heng said coldly: "When the Chongping New Deal was promoted, the gentry in the south of the Yangtze River often violated the law and secretly held grudges. However, when the Gao family caused chaos in Bashu, they did not see any movement."
Chen Xiao said: "The gentry in the south of the Yangtze River are good at sitting on the fence and watching, but they may not have the courage to rebel and cause trouble."
Jia Heng said in a deep voice: "Then now that the imperial court has put down the Bashu Rebellion and its prestige has greatly increased, do they have the guts to make unreasonable comments about the central government?"
Chen Xiao said: "Actually, these are more of the officials who were loyal to Chen Han. Now that I see you assisting the government in Shenjing and excluding dissidents, it is inevitable that there will be complaints."
Jia Heng said: "If I really plan to usurp the throne, I will have a great scholar from Jiangnan to interpret the scriptures for me."
He would never overestimate the integrity of these Jiangnan scholars.
Chen Xiaodao: "How do you plan to deal with them?"
Jia Heng's face was solemn, and his voice was extremely clear, and he said: "In two days, the imperial edict to transfer Li Shouzhong, the governor of Anhui, to the governor of Liangjiang will be issued. Let Li Shouzhong take charge of Liangjiang first, and then we will look at the rest. If it doesn't work... then a big prison will be launched.
.”
At the end of the sentence, Jia Heng's face was full of anger.
Chen Xiao frowned, hesitated for a moment, and said: "Li Shouzhong has a strong temperament, but his methods are too soft and flexible. He may not be able to control the old officials living in Jiangnan."
Jia Heng stared at Chen Xiao and said, "In your opinion, who is worthy of this position?"
Chen Xiao shook his head and said, "You don't have many people under you, and there is no one else available except Li Shouzhong."
When Jia Heng heard this, he was silent for a moment.
He indeed lacks some background in the civil service system now. Apart from some in-laws, there are not many people who can use him.
In such a large empire, if you want to extend the power to all yamen to the maximum extent, it is obviously not enough to rely solely on the title of assistant government.
Lin Ruhai recommended someone before, and he himself used the Song brothers again, but he also suffered from the fact that he did not have a large number of civil servants available.
Chen Xiaodao: "If you don't choose character, there will be many officials in the imperial court who take the initiative to serve under you."
Jia Heng's eyes were slightly cold and he whispered: "Most of these people are here for profit, but they are not like-minded people."
Chen Xiao put on the tea cup, with a thoughtful expression on his face, and said: "For these people, we can only slowly screen them."
Jia Heng sighed and said, "Yes."
This is someone who suddenly ascended to a great position, with little background, and good influence in the military. In recent years, he has been said to have a strong foundation, but in terms of political talents, there are only two big cats and two small cats.
And this matter cannot be rushed.
Chen Xiao said: "Why don't you issue an order to seek talents, or recruit literati under your command in the name of other Hongwen museums."
Jia Heng nodded and said: "If that's the case, it's better to open a mansion."
"Open a mansion?" Chen Xiao was stunned for a moment, then his eyes lit up and he said, "This is starting from scratch."
Jia Heng said: "I am the auxiliary king. In order to better assist the government, I have set up the Prime Minister's Affairs Office, which has six Cao Cao, counselors, soldiers and other assistants to connect the six ministries and hundreds of departments to prepare for the Qiande New Deal next year."
This is to establish a new small court, step by step to support the central government, and the newly created positions can recruit talents and cultivate party members.
When the time comes, just let nature take its course.
Chen Xiao praised and said: "This plan is very clever."
Jia Heng said: "As for recruiting scribes, after next year, the imperial court will compile the "Sikuquanshu" and "Chongping Huidian". At that time, there would be such a grand event, and scholars all over the world would definitely respond. In this way, we can recruit talented people from all over the world. Justified."
Compilation of books belongs to the rule of law. If he could compile the Complete Collection of Siku while he was in charge, his prestige among the scholars in the world would be second to none.
Chen Xiao nodded and said with admiration: "It is a prosperous age for book repair. I am afraid that for the position of editor-in-chief of book repair, all the great scholars from the north and the south who are well versed in classics and history will compete for it."
Jia Heng's move to compile books was actually to raise his hopes.
Jia Heng's face paused slightly, and he said loudly: "In addition, for the generals and soldiers who died in the Northern Lu in the fourteenth year of Chongping and put down the rebellion, we should build monuments and inscriptions to provide pensions to the old and young. Depending on their merits, they can supplement the local officials. , enter official school."
This is to win over the morale of the military.
He is now able to assist the government with a foreign relative of a different surname, and the army is his greatest confidence.
Chen Xiao nodded and said: "In this way, the general will definitely appreciate the kindness of the King of Guards."
Jia Heng said: "The new emperor has a new atmosphere. Next year's Qiande New Policy, as well as follow-up innovative policies and measures to benefit the people, will also be enacted one after another."
If you want to change the dynasty, you must implement good strategies to benefit the army and the people all over the world. At that time, everything will be in accordance with the weather and the expectations of the people.
Those who usurp the throne but not usurp the throne, then the world is for the common good and the divine weapon surrenders.
…
…
Time flies so fast that three days have passed before you know it.
Shenjing City, Song Zhai
Song Jing was now wearing a silk shirt, her bun was tied with a wooden hairpin, her body was as tall and straight as a pine tree, she was standing at the window in front of the study, looking at the rugged mountains and rocks.
At this time, a servant entered the study and said: "Master, the fourth master is here."
Song Jing couldn't help being startled, and quickly turned around and asked, "Where is the person?"
After a while, Song Xuan stepped in, saluted Song Jing and said, "Brother."
Song Jing quickly stepped forward to help him up and asked: "Fourth brother, where did you come from?"
Song Xuanxu said: "After receiving the official document from the Ministry of Civil Affairs, I went to the capital to report on my duties. I just arrived in the capital not long ago."
Song Jing's fair and elegant face had a complex look on her face, and she said with emotion: "This past year, it has been like falling into a dream. All the trivial matters have been twisting and turning, which is dizzying."
First, Emperor Chongping passed the throne to King Chen Qin of Chu. King Chen Ran of Wei and King Chen Wei of Liang were placed under house arrest, and then they were kidnapped by the Gao family and their sons to Bashu to launch a rebellion.
Just when the Song family thought it was over, who would have thought that the son of the King of Chu would be deposed by the civil servants, and Chen Luo, the son of Queen Song, would ascend the throne instead.
Anyone with a discerning eye can see that it is only a matter of time before the Song family, who were once prisoners of war, become relatives again and regain power.
Song Xuan also sighed with emotion: "Brother, in the past two years, the situation in Beijing has been really dizzying and dizzying."
Song Jing twirled his beard under his chin and said, "Yes."
Song Xuan asked: "What are your plans next?"
Song Jing frowned and said: "Zi Yu assisted in the administration of the country. Nowadays, although no one dares to disobey his orders, both inside and outside the court, there are many people who have hidden jealousy. Therefore, it is the right time for Zi Yu to employ people under him."
, you and I have no grudges against Ziyu in the past, and besides...Yan'er also married Ziyu."
Song Xuan said: "What my brother said is true. This time I asked officials close to the Ministry of Personnel. This time I was transferred from the local area to the capital. I heard that it was an official from the Ministry of Personnel and got instructions from Ziyu."
Song Jing's eyes showed envy and said: "It seems that the fourth brother will be of great use."
The fourth brother was born in Kejia, which is not like him.
Song Xuan was elegant, with a look of righteousness on his fair face, and said: "I don't dare to expect great use, I just hope to do something practical among the people of the world and benefit the common people."
Song Jing nodded and said warmly: "If my fourth brother has such an ambition, he will definitely become a famous minister in the future and will be famous for generations to come."
When Song Xuan heard this, he quickly changed the topic and asked: "Brother is in Beijing now, is it easy to come in and out?"
Song Jing said: "Usually there are Jinyi Mansion guards secretly monitoring you, but they do not strictly prohibit entry and exit. They just send people to accompany you for protection."
Song Xuan asked: "Zi Yu is not unkind. Has Yan'er's niece ever come back?"
While the two were talking, they heard the voice of a servant coming from the eaves. Immediately, he entered the side room and said: "Master, the angel in the palace is here."
As soon as these words came out, Song Jing couldn't help but be shocked. She turned to look at Song Xuan, with all kinds of speculations in her mind.
Song Xuan was startled for a moment, then returned to normal and said, "Brother, you and I should go and greet the angel first."
Song Jing nodded and said: "Don't neglect the angels."
While talking, the two brothers left the wing and went to the courtyard, looking at the angel who was surrounded by a large number of inmates and guards.
"Song Jing and Song Xuan received the order." The eunuch had a white face and a tall figure, without a beard, and held a volume of imperial edict made of silk.
"We will receive the order." As Song Jing and Song Xuan were talking, they knelt down to listen to the order.
The inner prisoner unfolded the silk on the ground and recited: "The emperor is destined to be carried by heaven, and the edict says..."
The general idea of the imperial edict is to reinstate brothers Song Jing and Song Xuan as officials.
Song Jing was temporarily appointed as a doctor in the Kuaiji Division of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, while Song Xuan was transferred to Jingzhao Mansion as the prefect.
Song Jing and Song Xuan stood up, bowed to the eunuch, and received the imperial edict in light yellow silk.
After bidding farewell to the internal eunuchs who delivered the edict, Song Jing and Song Xuan returned to the flower hall and sat down, with happy faces on their faces.
