In the side room, in the square charcoal brazier, the fire was blazing, and the heat was escaping everywhere. On the bed, the two of them were cuddling together and talking.
Sister Feng nestled her little head in Jia Heng's arms and said with a mix of joy and anger: "How can I compare to her? She has already given birth to a child."
Jia Heng reached into his clothes and felt a plump mass between his palms. He chuckled and said, "Sister-in-law Feng can do it too."
Sister Feng's delicate and straight Qiongbi snorted softly, and a trace of embarrassment seemed to well up on her gorgeous and unreasonable face.
What are these people talking about?
You can call her whatever you want.
The two of them were talking together, and Ping'er was quietly listening to the conversation not far away, feeling a sense of shame on his white and jade face.
Jia Heng cuddled with Sister Feng for a while, but saw that Sister Feng's slender hands were a little dishonest, and felt a little weird. He quickly opened Sister Feng's slender hands and said, "Sister-in-law Feng, are you still pregnant with the child at this moment?"
Sister Feng breathed softly next to Jia Heng's ear, her voice filled with an indescribable throb, and said, "I don't miss you anymore."
Jia Heng stretched out his hand and felt the beauty's entanglement. He felt a little helpless and said: "Then you... you serve me first, and you can let Ping'er serve you later."
She's really pregnant and she won't stop.
Sister Feng had a look of shame and annoyance in her eyes, and said angrily: "You want me to pave the way and build a bridge for those little hooves, right?"
Jia Heng joked: "You have a deep love between master and servant. Doesn't she usually serve you?"
Sister Feng's beautiful face as white as snow was as red as drunkenness. She snorted and said nothing else. She moved her two slender hands in front of the young man in the python suit, rustlingly untied his clothes and gently lifted them.
The hair that hangs down to the side of the cheek, and then hangs down to the green hair like a waterfall.
Jia Heng said: "Ping'er, come here."
"Hey, here we come~" Ping'er responded shyly, then entered the house, walked closer, and helped Sister Feng.
Jia Heng raised his soft and beautiful eyes, slanting them under the sword-shaped eyebrows on his temples. There was a hint of thinking in his bright eyes, thinking about the specific content of the Qiande New Deal.
I don’t know how long it will take before the clouds close and the rain stops.
Jia Heng stretched out his arms to hug Ping'er's delicate body, staring at that bright and beautiful face, feeling somewhat inexplicably happy.
Jia Heng put his arms around Sister Feng's plump body and cuddled for a while. He raised his eyes to look at Ping'er and said, "Ping'er, you usually take care of your grandma at home."
Ping'er's flaming jade face was as red as drunk, and she said in a charming voice: "Don't worry, sir."
Jia Heng reached out and hugged Ping'er's plump and delicate body, feeling the hotness of her fragrant skin, and asked jokingly: "Ping'er, what would you say if you have another child?"
Sister Feng was so embarrassed that she interrupted and said, "Let grandma come over and serve our master and servant."
Ping'er nestled her plump and delicate body tightly in Jia Heng's arms. On her face, which was like dough, you could see the dense clouds of clouds, as bright as fire.
She will also have the prince's child in the future.
Jia Heng reached out and gently scratched the bridge of Ping'er's nose and said, "What is Ping'er thinking about? Are you so lost in thought?"
Ping'er almost blurted out: "I'm thinking about having a baby."
As soon as the words came out of my mouth, I couldn't help but feel ashamed.
What was she talking about just now, about giving birth to a baby? It was really embarrassing.
Jia Heng said: "Maybe it will happen this time."
Sister Feng's soft, waxy voice contained a bit of embarrassment, and said: "Now who doesn't know that there are many women in your uncle Heng's backyard, and you may get tired of playing with them one day."
Jia Heng said: "I'm tired of playing. What you said is really nice."
Sister Feng snorted softly, as if she was angry, and said: "There are more and more women in your backyard now."
"Pa..."
Sister Feng wanted to say more at this moment, but she suddenly felt that Feng Yuan and Su Qiao had been attacked. It was clearly the young man in the python suit who hit her Feng Yuan Su Qiao.
Sister Feng's long, narrow and clear eyes seemed to overflow with charm, and she seemed a little aggrieved: "You know how to bully others."
Jia Heng put his hand into Sister Feng's front and felt the richness and softness between her palms and fingers, and said: "These are the people who are going to be mothers, and they are still here drinking and jealous."
Sister Feng's face was as red as drunkenness. She snorted softly and pressed her flaming face against Jia Heng's chest.
Jia Heng said warmly: "After the baby is born, take good care of the baby, and you will be good to me in the future."
After Sister Feng became pregnant, she felt that her position was stable, so her relationship with him became more of a husband-and-wife relationship.
Under Ping'er's two gloomy and green eyebrows, her beautiful eyes shone slightly, she stared at Sister Feng and whispered: "Second Grandma, what are you talking about?"
Sister Feng said "hmm" and hugged Jia Heng's waist tightly with both hands. Her face, as white as snow, was in a trance for a moment.
Also, the women in his backyard are either princesses or princesses, so it's not her turn to be jealous.
…
…
Years pass by and seasons pass by, and before we know it, it has arrived on the 23rd day of the twelfth lunar month, which is the Little New Year in the lunar calendar.
Shenjing City, Ningguo Mansion, in the study
The earth dragon was burning, and the room was as warm as spring. Chen Xiao was behind the desk, picking up a book and reading it.
At this moment, I heard the sound of footsteps coming from the corridor eaves.
Immediately, he followed the sound and saw Jia Heng striding from outside into the study.
Chen Xiao stood up from his seat, handed over a piece of paper in his hand, and said in a clear voice: "Look at this, according to Fei Ge's letter and the detective from Jiangnan, Hao Jiru has been there in the last eight years.
At the birthday banquet for your tenth birthday, I criticized you more and encouraged the Jiangnan gentry present to criticize you verbally and writingly."
Jia Heng took the paper from Chen Xiao with a slight pause on his face. The paper recorded in detail the scene of Hao Jiru's conversation with the guests at the banquet.
Jia Heng put away the piece of paper in his hand, his face was as gloomy as iron, and he said in a cold voice: "This old guy doesn't know how to live or die."
Under Chen Xiaocui's slender eyebrows, her eyes were as bright as water as she looked at the young man in the python suit, and whispered: "How do you plan to deal with it?"
Jia Heng's face was full of evil, and he said: "First, let the Jinyi Palace Guards in Nan Province collect evidence of the Hao family's crimes, and the rest will wait and see what happens. Since Hao Jiru dares to do such a reckless thing, there must be someone behind him."
Chen Xiao was silent for a moment, with a cold look in his eyes, and said: "I think so, but the southern gentry has been resentful of you for more than a day or two."
Jia Heng's two swords flew diagonally under his eyebrows, his cold eyes flickered, and he said loudly: "We need to find an opportunity to break the monolithic monolith in Jiangnan's officialdom."
Chen Xiao said coldly: "However, Xie Yue and Tan Jie don't seem to be colluding with Hao Jiru. After the two celebrated their birthdays, they left the Hao family."
Jia Heng's face brightened slightly and he said: "Xie Yue is an old fox. As for Tan Jie, he, the Minister of Household Affairs in Nanjing, was recommended by me at the beginning."
Chen Xiao thought for a while and asked: "Let's see if we can divide the monolithic Jiangnan officialdom."
Jia Heng picked up a blue and white porcelain tea cup, lowered his head to sip the tea, and whispered: "The officialdom in Jiangnan has never been monolithic. It just so happens that there are many vacancies in the court, and there will be no shortage of people who are willing to serve."
He is now the auxiliary king and holds the power of the court. Not to mention other things, just his official title is enough to make the officials of Southern Province excited.
Chen Xiao thought for a while and said worriedly: "The Jiangnan and Jiangbei camps also need to send their confidants to take control."
Jia Heng nodded and said warmly: "The Jiangnan camp needs to be controlled by someone."
But at this moment, a maid was seen entering the side room and said: "Your Majesty, people from Jinyi Mansion are outside the mansion asking for an audience."
Hearing this, Jia Heng felt something in his heart. He stared at Chen Xiao aside and said, "Xiaoxiao, come with me to have a look."
Chen Xiao responded softly, and immediately said nothing else.
As Jia Heng spoke, he left the wing first.
At this moment, there is a spacious flower hall in the front yard with elegantly furnished tables and chairs.
Qu Lang, the governor of Jinyi Prefecture, was wearing a beautifully patterned bullfight uniform, with a majestic and calm demeanor. He sat on a lacquered pear wood chair. Not far away was a middle-aged scholar with an elegant face and a blue gown.
The person was none other than Xu Guangqi.
At this moment, a servant wearing a gray robe walked into the house and announced, "The prince is here."
Qu Lang got up and waited respectfully.
Xu Guangqi followed the sound and looked at the world-famous King Wei in front of him. His eyes flickered and he thought to himself, he is really tall and tall, with the potential of a dragon walking like a tiger.
In fact, Xu Guangqi, who was in Songjiang Mansion at that time, was quite surprised by the sudden visit of the Jinyi Mansion guards, thinking that something had happened to him.
When the Jinyi Palace Guards conveyed their intention to recruit King Wei, the auxiliary king of the dynasty, Xu Guangqi had many doubts in his heart, but he was more curious about this King Wei who assisted Emperor Chongping in pacifying Liaodong and made great military exploits.
"I have met the governor in my humble position." Qu Lang said with a solemn expression and cupped his hands.
Jia Heng nodded, looked at the calm Xu Guangqi, and said warmly: "No need to be polite."
"Student has met King Wei." Xu Guangqi also walked forward quickly, bowed his hands to Jia Heng and said.
Jia Heng quickly stepped forward to help him and said with a smile: "I have admired Mr. Xu for a long time."
When Xu Guangqi heard this, he was shocked and said quickly: "King Wei is a hero of the world, powerful in China, and his students are like thunder."
Jia Heng smiled and said: "Mr. Xu, thank you very much. Please sit down here."
While talking, the two of them took their seats respectively.
Jia Heng raised his eyes to look at Xu Guangqi and asked: "Mr. Xu, do you have a general knowledge of Thai and Western geometry?"
When Xu Guangqi heard this, he was even more surprised. He stared at the young man in the python suit and asked, "King Wei also knows geometry?"
Jia Heng smiled and said: "I know a little bit about hooking three strands, four strings and five strings."
Xu Guangqi praised: "King Wei is really knowledgeable."
Chen Xiao watched the two people talking from the side, with a bit of surprise in his eyes.
Does he still know these miscellaneous subjects?
Jia Heng said: "Geometry is a necessary learning for water conservancy projects, and it can be said to be of great benefit to the national economy and people's livelihood. However, our government did not pay attention to the imperial examination. Even the abacus was regarded as dispensable. Therefore, there were many officials appointed.
They are people who talk empty talk, know almost nothing about practical matters, and are deceived by cunning petty officials in the local area."
Xu Guangqi was undoubtedly shocked when he heard this.
King Wei's words simply spoke to his heart.
How can officials manage the people under their jurisdiction well if they only understand the teachings of the sages and Confucius and Mencius and do not know other things?
Xu Guangqi said: "King Wei, it is just about selecting scholars through the imperial examination. It is related to the foundation of the country, so it should not be touched lightly, right?"
Jia Heng smiled and said: "This cannot be changed in a day. What I mean is that the imperial court can open up Ming Jing, Ming Calculation, Ming Law and Ming Gong in addition to the Jinshi Department to select talents for the court.
When the time is right, we can reform the eight-part essay to recruit scholars, and today's eight-legged essay can also be gradually turned to the examination of policy theory."
In fact, since the pre-Ming Dynasty, there has been no Ming Jing, only the Jinshi examination, and then the eight-legged essay is used to select scholars, which cultivates scholars who are incompetent in practical matters.
Xu Guangqi nodded and agreed: "What King Wei said is true. The imperial examination system is what the world's scholars want. You should not act rashly to avoid causing an uproar."
The King Wei in front of him is not a reckless person. He is still cautious in governing the country. If he abandons the eight-part essay and does not use it, it will easily arouse the hatred of scholars all over the world.
Jia Heng said: "However, today's scholarly culture despises the learning of all kinds of workers and miscellaneous families. To change the culture, it is necessary to establish schools and teach skills, and to prepare elites for the country. Mr. Xu is a great talent in the world, how can he intend to be a teacher and teach widely?"
Running a school is a plan to expand influence. The Donglin Party of the Ming Dynasty originated from Donglin Academy.
Xu Guangqi twirled his beard under his chin with his hand and said: "It is my wish to run a school and teach knowledge. I have disciples in my hometown. Two of them followed me to the capital. Now they are waiting for me in the post house."
Jia Heng said: "Mr. Xu, the king intends to recruit you to serve as the counselor of the royal palace. In addition, you will also be in charge of the mountain director of the Academy of Sciences. There is still a shortage of foreign sub-supervisors. Mr. Xu takes this position temporarily."
Xu Guangqi himself was actually a Jinshi. He only resigned in the twelfth year of Chongping and went into seclusion. He never became an official. However, in the Ming Dynasty in parallel time and space, this scientific pioneer served as an official in the Ming Dynasty.
.
"Science?" Xu Guangqi did not care about the official position given by Jia Heng. Instead, he tasted the word "science" written by Jia Heng and felt that it meant something meaningful.
Jia Heng nodded and said: "I call the new science science. Science is based on the method of studying things to gain knowledge, studying the principles of things, and cultivating scientific talents for the court. Whether it is firearms making or water conservancy engineering, it requires a lot of proficiency.
Practical successors will be added to the official ranks."
As he said that, Jia Heng looked at Xu Guangqi and said: "Tiangong Kaiwu and Mr. Xu's Agricultural Policy Complete Book can be used as teaching materials."
In fact, he also asked the guards of Jinyi Mansion to look for Song Yingxing.
Xu Guangqi said with emotion: "King Wei has a commanding position, and his every word is precious, which really makes the students deaf and enlightened."
After that, Jia Heng and Xu Guangqi chatted for a while. When they talked about the heaven and earth being spheres and the longitude and latitude, Xu Guangqi's heart jumped with fright, his eyes lit up, and he had a strong desire to know his best friend.
Because Xu Guangqi's idea was incompatible with the philosophy of a round sky and a square earth in this era, and was almost heretical.
As a result, the two chatted happily until the sky turned dark, and Jia Heng asked Xu Guangqi to send Xu Guangqi, who was still unfinished, to the post house to rest.
Chen Xiao looked at Jia Heng with complicated eyes under his eyebrows, and said: "This person does have a lot of fantastic ideas, but... you can still catch them."
Just now, she saw that this man even said some words, which made Xu Guangqi ask questions again and again to explore the reason.
Perhaps this is a generation of holy emperors, a scholar of heaven, and this is what he should be.
Jia Heng waved his hand and said with emotion: "Xu Guangqi is an unprecedented talent. If used properly, he can create a foundation for eternal peace."
When Chen Xiao heard this, he stared at Jia Heng and said angrily: "You have said this more than once."
Isn’t this man too high on Xu Guangqi?
Jia Heng smiled and said, "I'm just happy to see you hunting for a while."
It is said that a confidant is hard to find. God knows how difficult it is for him to meet an ancient person in this world who can discuss the science of past lives.
…
…
Years pass by and seasons flow by. Unknowingly, the first year of Jianxing of the Han Dynasty passed quietly, and the Han Dynasty entered the first year of Qiande.
In the past few days, Xu Guangqi frequently visited Jia Heng to discuss "scientific" methods. In terms of the Ministry of Personnel, Xu Guangqi was also sent to Xu Guangqi to be appointed as the Imperial College Secretary.
The first day of the first lunar month in the first year of Qiande
The new emperor succeeded to the throne, and the edict to celebrate the New Year had been spread to all nine states in the world through the Han Dynasty's post system.
The streets were filled with flying firecrackers and confetti, and the pungent smell of sulfur filled the air. Most of the shops on both sides of the streets were closed.
I saw an extremely spacious and row upon row of streets. Soldiers and helpers from the Five Cities Military and Horse Division were holding shovels and were bending down, shovel after shovel, to shovel the thick snow.
In the white marble square outside the Hanyuan Hall of the Daming Palace, hundreds of civil and military officials of the Han Dynasty, under the watchful eye of Yushi Jiuyi, stood according to their rank and marched towards the Hanyuan Hall in front of them in a neat array.
"I have met your Majesty. Long live your Majesty. Long live your Majesty." The courtiers, led by the first assistant of the cabinet, Qi Kun, and the second assistant, Lin Ruhai, bowed and faced the Empress of Song and the new emperor on the golden chairs in front of the bright yellow screen. salute.
Chen Luo followed the instructions given by Empress Song earlier in the morning and said in a childish and clear voice: "All the ministers are equal."
"Thank you, Your Majesty." The civil and military ministers below stood up one after another, holding ivory and jade sabers, and lined up on the left and right. The atmosphere in the palace was solemn and solemn.
Jia Heng said: "My lords, in the first year of Qiande, the new dynasty has a new atmosphere. Your lords are here to discuss various personnel matters in the dynasty."
After Li Zan and Xu Lu were beheaded, there were many vacancies in the court.
There is a shortage of one minister in the cabinet, the censor of the capital procuratorate, and the other two are the deputy censors of the capital and the censors of the capital.
Not long ago, Wang Shu, the minister of Dali Temple, resigned from his post to the court on the grounds of old age.
The minister of Dali Temple was undoubtedly stimulated by the execution of his chief minister, or in other words, he was already quite old. He had been in charge of Dali Temple for eight years since the 14th year of Chongping.
The Ministry of Punishment is also short of ministers, so Deng Zhen, the left minister of the Ministry of Punishment, can take over, and the right minister of the Ministry of Punishment will be transferred to the left minister of the Ministry of Punishment.
Qi Kun held an ivory jade wat in his hand, cupped his hands and said: "Assistant King, now the cabinet affairs are becoming more and more complicated, and there is still a shortage of ministers, and we urgently need to make up for it."
Jia Heng said: "Can the cabinet ministers handle cabinet affairs?"
In fact, there is not necessarily all cabinet ministers, and there is nothing wrong with having four cabinet ministers. The other one can be used as a bargaining chip to win over the governors of the world.
When Qi Kun heard this, his expression froze, and he was somewhat unable to grasp the mentality of the vassal king above him.
Zhao Yi was silent for a moment, then cupped his hands and said: "Although there are many affairs in the cabinet, there is still enough power in the cabinet, so there is no need for cabinet members to join the cabinet."
Jia Heng looked solemn and continued: "The Minister of War has been appointed by Shi Jie, Minister of Military Aircraft, and King Shuirong of Beijing has been given the title of Minister of War. In addition, the Duke of Liao has been granted the title of First-class British Duke, and he has been awarded the title of Minister of War. Japanese teacher."
Previously, Xie Zaiyi was a third-class Duke of Liao, but this time he suppressed the Sichuan rebellion and was obviously promoted to a first-class Duke. The previous title of Duke of Liao, which the King of Chu deliberately disliked Jia Heng, was also changed. For the British public.
Qi Kun handed over his hand.
Jia Heng was silent for a moment and said: "The Ministry of War has reported to the Prime Minister's Affairs Yamen these two days the merits and rewards of the generals who went to Sichuan to quell the rebellion."
Qi Kun was stunned for a moment, surprised, and then asked: "King Wei, I wonder who the Prime Minister's Affairs Office is?"
Jia Heng nodded and said: "Mr. Qi Ge, I am the auxiliary king. I will set up an office in the palace, set up the Prime Minister's Affairs Office, and have six Cao Cao, counselors, and soldiers. First, I will handle the affairs of the six ministries and hundreds of departments, and second, I will consult.
Discuss and consider national affairs."
Well, in fact, it was the small court, or the consultative body, which to some extent bypassed the cabinet and the six ministries, or in other words, the cabinet and the six ministries actually became the executive agencies.
The best thing is that he can arbitrarily use some young and strong bureaucrats with junior qualifications and strong abilities in the shogunate to replace them as central bureaucrats after he ascends the throne.
Qi Kun was horrified when he heard this.
As an old bureaucrat who had been in officialdom for many years, Qi Kun naturally understood Jia Heng's intentions.
Zhao Yi, holding an ivory jade wat in his hand, came out of the courtroom, raised his hands and said: "The establishment of a government office by the auxiliary king is also conducive to the handling of state affairs."
Jia Heng nodded and said: "Then let's do it like this. I will transfer some capable officials from the six departments and one hundred divisions and add them to the shogunate to help manage affairs."
The courtiers below heard this and had different thoughts.
