Chapter 1711 Jia Heng: The word 'violent' is enough to sum up his life
…
Shenjing City, Grand View Garden, Xiaoxiang Pavilion
In the courtyard surrounded by high walls, there seemed to be waves of rustling sounds in the bamboo forest, and Daiyu was sitting on a soft couch covered with bamboo mats.
The beauty's jade face, as white as snow, was serene, and she was holding her daughter Jia Ru in her arms.
This former Scarlet Pearl Immortal is already in her twenties, and her facial features and demeanor have the gentleness and softness of a married woman.
Zicuckoo stood by the side. Under her willow eyebrows, her clear and rainbow-like eyes flickered, and she said warmly: "Miss, Miss Yun and Miss Baoqin already have a child."
Under Daiyu's smoky eyebrows, her sparkling clear eyes flickered, and she said, "It's been a year or two since the two of them got together, so it's time for them to have a child."
Zijuan's pink lips twitched, and she lowered her voice and said, "Girl, you should give birth to a boy at some point. I heard from my servants that the prince may enter the palace and become the emperor..."
In the following words, his voice inevitably became a little lower, saying: "When the time comes, the concubine will be named a concubine. If the girl has a boy, she will also...have someone to live by her in the future."
Under Daiyu's smoky brows, which were as pale as silk willows, her starry eyes were slightly frozen, and she said warmly: "I have never thought about this."
Brother Heng has always doted on her, but she didn't care much about it.
Besides, she also read a lot of secret histories of the palace.
Zijuan's voice was sweet and charming as she said, "Girls should also think about the long term."
Daiyu was silent for a moment and whispered: "That's all Brother Heng needs to worry about."
At this moment, a maid's voice came from outside, saying softly: "Girl, the prince is here."
When Daiyu heard the words, she turned her beautiful head with green hair like a waterfall, followed the sound, looked at the young man in the python suit, and said softly: "Brother Heng, you are here."
While Jia Heng was talking, he quickly walked closer and whispered: "Sister Lin."
Daiyu's face, as beautiful as snow, was as bright as the clouds. She seemed to call out softly and said, "Brother Heng, are you here?"
Jia Heng's face was filled with a prosperous smile and he said: "Sister Lin, I just came to see you."
After saying that, he hugged his daughter and asked, "Ru'er, why don't you call me daddy?"
Jia Ru's pink and fair face pouted slightly, and said softly: "Daddy hasn't come to see Ru'er for several days."
Jia Heng smiled and said, "Dad is busy, so I didn't come here to look for you."
Jia Ru said "hmm", a sweet smile couldn't help but appear on her pretty and bright face.
Jia Heng looked at Jia Ru's face as white as snow, kissed her, and said, "Good daughter, let daddy take a look."
Under Daiyu's eyebrows, which were as light as light clouds, her crystal clear eyes seemed to be moistened with soft waves. She looked at the young man in the python suit, her eyes flickered, she was surprised, and said: "Brother Heng, outside
Are you done with all your business?"
Jia Heng was silent for a moment, nodded, and said softly: "We are all done."
Daiyu was silent for a moment, then said warmly: "Just now Zijuan said that Brother Heng will... enter the palace and ascend the throne as emperor in the future?"
Because the two of them are basically an old married couple, they don't really shy away from this matter.
Jia Heng was silent for a moment and said, "We have such a plan."
Daiyu's tone was full of worry as she said, "Will there be any objections from outside?"
Jia Heng was silent for a moment and whispered: "There are some objections, but the general trend of the world is vast. If you follow it, you will prosper, if you go against it, you will perish. It is useless for them to oppose it."
Under Daiyu's emerald willow eyebrows, concern surged in her bright starry eyes, saying: "I don't understand these things in the outside world. Brother Heng, you just have to know what's going on."
Jia Heng gently put his arms around Daiyu's slender shoulders and said warmly: "Don't worry, sister Lin. I know what's going on."
Under Daiyu's smoky eyebrows, her slightly pink lips pursed softly and said: "Brother Heng, Ru'er is still here."
As he said that, he looked at his daughter who had eyes as wide as black grapes and crystal clear.
Jia Heng smiled softly, kissed his daughter's pink face, and said warmly: "Ru'er, go and make trouble with Aunt Zicuckoo."
"Daddy, play with me." Ru'er stretched out her two snow-white arms, opened her little mouth, and called in a low voice.
Daiyu's bright starry eyes blinked, and she snorted with disgust, "Your father still wants to play with your mother."
Jia Heng: "..."
Daiyu is a little different now that she's married, at least she can tell jokes more freely.
Here, Zijuan smiled and hugged Jia Ru and left the wing, leaving the space for the couple.
Jia Heng's expression paused slightly, then he turned to look at Daiyu's pink lips and said, "Sister Lin."
Daiyu's delicate and upright Qiong snorted, turning her bright face like clouds, only to see that the man had already pulled her shoulders, and then moved to her lips, like a sudden storm.
.
It goes without saying that old couples are affectionate together.
…
…
The Jade Rabbit sets in the west, the Golden Crow rises in the east, and before you know it, a day passes.
The case of Yan Wang Chen Ze's rebellion has quietly come to an end, but public opinion in Beijing is still abuzz.
First of all, after this incident, one of the chief ministers of the cabinet and one of the cabinet ministers were captured, and the court fell into a brief period of turmoil.
Jia Heng was in the mansion trying to put on a black and red satin-like gold thread-like python robe to get out, but immediately headed outside.
At this moment, a young maid entered the hall, looked at Jia Heng, and said: "Your Majesty, the guards from the Jinyi Palace outside are here to report."
After hearing this, Jia Heng's resolute and calm face could not help but become solemn. He stood up, came to the front hall, looked at the Jinyifu primary school who came to report the matter, and asked: "What's going on?
?”
"Your Majesty, Prince Yan has committed suicide out of fear of his crime." The Jinyi primary schoolman's face was straightened, he walked forward quickly and said to Jia Heng.
Jia Heng frowned and said, "What's going on?"
After saying that, he stood up, with clear frost covering his face, and said in a warm voice: "Come here, I am going to the imperial prison."
Although King Yan is guilty, he is still the heir of Emperor Sejongxian, and the mark of loyalty and filial piety on his body cannot be discarded for the time being.
While talking, Jia Heng, surrounded by a group of Jinyi Mansion guards, went to the imperial prison of Jinyi Mansion.
At this moment, Qu Lang and Liu Jixian had already led all the heads of Jinyi Mansion to stand in front of the official office of Jinyi Mansion, facing the young man in the python suit.
"I have met the prince in this lowly position. The prince is a thousand years old." The heads of the Jinyi Palace Guards present gathered around and spoke to Jia Heng.
As Jia Heng spoke, he cast his clear, rainbow-like eyes on Qu Lang and asked, "What happened? Why did King Yan die suddenly in the imperial prison?"
Qu Lang's face became solemn, he came forward and cupped his hands and said: "To report to King Wei, King Yan knew that he was guilty of a serious sin, so he asked for poison from the jailer, and then committed suicide by taking the poison."
Jia Heng turned to look at Qu Lang, feeling a little strange in his heart, but frowning, he shouted coldly: "The jailer is so negligent and lazy, don't you know that King Yan is an important prisoner?"
After saying that, he looked at Liu Jixian on the side, was surprised, and asked: "Liu Jixian, how is that Jinyi palace guard?"
Liu Jixian said: "Reporting to the prince, the executioner has been dealt with according to the family law of Jinyi Mansion!"
When Jia Heng heard this, his face was as solemn as iron, and he said in a deep voice: "I want to go and see the body of King Yan."
Liu Jixian stared at the young man in the python suit, extended his hand to invite him, and said, "Your Majesty, please come this way."
While talking, he extended his hand to invite Jia Heng to walk towards the imperial prison.
Accompanied by a group of Jinyi Mansion generals, Jia Heng walked through the dark corridor and looked at the prison cell with high fences.
Chen Ze's body was now covered with white cloth, and several jailers around him lowered their heads, feeling anxious.
Jia Heng looked at this scene expressionlessly and winked at Liu Jixian who was standing aside.
Immediately, Liu Jixian ordered the captain of the Jinyi Mansion beside him to lift the white cloth, revealing a pale face with black and red blood, as well as the faint smell of corpses.
After all, it is already the midsummer of the fourth year of Qiande.
Jia Heng was silent for a moment, sighed, and said: "Come here, prepare a coffin and give King Yan a good burial. In the next two days, the cabinet will formulate a decree and conclude the coffin for King Yan and others' rebellious actions against the party."
Although people have committed suicide out of fear of guilt, subsequent accountability is still indispensable.
Jia Heng said, taking a deep look at Liu Jixian and Qu Lang, then turned around and quickly left the imperial prison, heading towards the outside.
He still wanted to think about how to talk to Xianning later.
Otherwise, I won't go back to the eldest princess's house in Jinyang for the next few days, but hiding like this won't work. If I fall into Xianning's eyes, I'm afraid she will think he gave the order.
Liu Jixian and Qu Lang looked respectful, and immediately raised their hands to Jia Heng.
After Jia Heng left, Liu Jixian stared at Qu Lang and said, "Commander Qu, is this the end?"
Qu Lang's face was solemn and he said, "Let's wait for the follow-up treatment."
This matter is obviously not over yet, and he is ready to temporarily step down as commander of Jinyi City.
Palace Garden, Wuying Palace——
At this moment, several cabinet ministers and military ministers were also discussing the suicide of King Yan.
Zhao Yi looked at Lin Ruhai, who was temporarily handling cabinet affairs, and whispered: "Mr. Lin Ge, King Yan has committed suicide, how will the posthumous title be decided?"
Lin Ruhai frowned and whispered: "The posthumous title should be decided by the Ministry of Rites, but it would be more appropriate to wait until King Wei arrives to discuss it."
Zhao Yi turned to look at Liu Zheng aside and asked, "What do you think, Mr. Liu Ge?"
Liu Zheng looked like an old man and said, "Let's wait until King Wei arrives."
Zhao Yi thought thoughtfully and said: "King Wei should have a final conclusion in his mind. You and I cannot overstep my authority."
Just when the cabinet ministers were looking at each other, they heard an eunuch outside the palace shouting in a high-pitched voice and reporting to Lin Ruhai and others: "Mr. Lin Ge, King Wei has arrived."
After a while, the young man in python suit was seen walking quickly, surrounded by the internal prisoners and guards in royal robes, like stars over the moon.
"I have met King Wei." As the cabinet ministers present spoke, they stood up one after another and bowed respectfully to the young man in the python suit.
Jia Heng stretched out his hand to support me and said, "Everyone, please forgive me."
When all the cabinet ministers heard this, they all agreed.
The immediate feeling at this moment is undoubtedly like an emperor meeting his ministers.
Jia Heng then sat down on a small lacquered wood chair. With deep eyes, he picked up the blue and white porcelain tea cup and took a sip, feeling the fragrance on his teeth and cheeks.
"King Wei, King Yan, how should we decide on the posthumous title?" At this time, Liu Zheng, the Minister of Rites, asked.
Jia Heng's face was as indifferent as frost, and he said: "The word "violent" can sum up his whole life."
Liu Zheng: "..."
"Rou" is obviously a posthumous title that is so bad that it can no longer be bad.
Lin Ruhai and Zhao Yi looked at each other and saw a hint of surprise in the other's eyes.
Jia Heng said: "The cabinet recorded the crimes of King Yan in detail in the imperial edict and announced them to the world to serve as a warning to others."
The ministers were silent for a long time.
In fact, the political meaning of executing a deposed emperor, giving him a bad posthumous title, and declaring it to the world is more like testing the reaction of scholars in the world.
At this moment, Zhao Yi was silent for a moment and asked: "King Wei, there is only one minister in the cabinet now. Who does King Wei think can directly enter the cabinet and predict the aircraft maintenance?"
There is currently a vacancy for the chief minister of the cabinet, and Lin Ruhai should take over. There are also two cabinet ministers, Liu Zheng and Zhao Yi, who are vacant.
Jia Heng was silent for a moment and said: "The cabinet ministers are vacant for the time being, and I will think about it until I can think about it."
Not only are there temporary vacancies in the cabinet, but the minister of military aircraft should also be filled to support military affairs.
With the preparation of the navy and the increasing number of affairs in Liaodong, the military affairs that the ministers need to handle are also increasing.
However, he can slowly adjust these personnel matters until he is satisfied.
The main reason is that if he wants the Zen throne, he may also have to win over the Jiangsu and Zhejiang scholars, because the Jiangsu and Zhejiang scholar groups have always been a political force that cannot be ignored, and they can only unite for the time being.
Of course, the officials in Jiangnan had already beaten him once before, and if he was slapped, he would be given a sweet date.
Therefore, the position of cabinet minister needs to be left to the Zhejiang Party to temporarily win over the southeastern scholars. Of course, before that, he needs to meet the former Zhejiang Party leader Han Huang.
It has been six or seven years since Han Huang became an official. This old fox was sitting in the southeast, observing the world situation and perfectly avoiding every political disturbance.
…
…
Zhejiang, Shaoxing
Han Huang was dressed in a plain robe, clearly a household attire. His gray hair was fixed with a pine hairpin, and a look of thoughtfulness appeared on his clear and slender face.
Han Huang was currently sitting in a study room decorated with mahogany furniture, and there was a stack of scripture volumes placed on the desk. He held a brush in his hand and marked the marks from time to time.
After a while, bursts of hurried footsteps were heard from the corridor outside. Then, the eldest son of the family could be seen coming from the outside. He walked closer, cupped his hands and said: "Father, over there in Beijing, the flying pigeon has passed the message. It has already been delivered."
News came that the King of Yan State has been arrested for murdering King Wei, the chief minister of the cabinet Qi Kun, and the Minister of Military Aircraft Shi Jie has also been implicated and has been imprisoned."
Han Huang frowned slightly, then relaxed, put down the brush in his hand, and asked: "Is Qi Kun in jail?"
Han Hui couldn't hide his excitement in his tone, and said: "If it is as my father said, King Wei has begun to eradicate dissidents, and Qi Kun in the cabinet has lost power, our Zhejiang Party will have an opportunity."
Han Huang looked thoughtful and said: "This matter depends on the wishes of the King of Wei in the capital."
Han Hui was surprised and asked, "Does father think King Wei will use his father?"
Han Huang said: "The major case in the second year of Qiande dealt a heavy blow to the Jiangnan scholars in Nanjing. Now the Zhejiang Party is silent. It is the time for King Wei to calm down people's hearts."
Han Hui was overjoyed and asked: "Then it is almost certain that my father will return to the capital?"
Han Huang was silent for a moment, then continued: "Now in the court, Qi Kun has resigned, and Lin Ruhai has been appointed as the chief assistant of the cabinet. He no longer has the position of father."
When the former chief minister of the cabinet returns to the DPRK, what official position is appropriate?
Of course, it was still appropriate to serve as Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, but King Wei obviously would not let such a key personnel position be handed over to someone from the Zhejiang Party.
When Han Hui heard this, his expression changed slightly and he asked anxiously: "What does father mean?"
Han Huang was silent for a moment, shook his head, and said: "I am no longer suitable for officialdom, but your uncle can be reinstated, and your official career must be solved in some way."
Han Hui looked a little gloomy and said: "Father, I was previously involved in the imperial examination fraud case, so I can no longer take the imperial examination."
It can be said that Han Hui's involvement in the imperial examination has been recorded in the integrity file.
Han Huang was silent for a moment, his eyes as clear as rainbows were deep, and he said loudly: "You can not take the imperial examination, or... the new emperor will create a new dynasty and grant amnesty to the world. At that time, the imperial examination fraud case of the previous dynasty will naturally be exposed.
Let’s pass this chapter.”
Han Hui was silent for a moment and said: "What does father mean, King Wei will definitely change his dynasty?"
Han Huang looked surprised and said, "Is this still a matter of doubt?"
Han Hui said: "Father, it has been a hundred years since the founding of Chen Han, and there are loyal ministers and righteous men all over the world. How dare King Wei dare?"
"Why don't you dare?" Han Huang's eyes were filled with a gloomy look, and he said in a deep voice: "King Wei is working step by step, removing obstacles to the throne one by one. There is no opponent in the government or the public."
This is the brilliance of King Wei. He is not slow and slow, always holding a big banner, and then step by step to achieve Li Daitao's stiffness.
I'm afraid we have to wait a few more years for the foundation to be more solid.
While the father and son were talking, an old servant with an old face full of wrinkles and grooves quickly entered the hall from the outside and whispered: "Master, Master Yan is here."
The so-called Master Yan naturally refers to Yan Hong.
Yan Hong was demoted because he was involved in an imperial examination fraud case. Since then, he has been idle at home, teaching knowledge to the children of the clan.
After a while, Yan Hong was seen walking quickly from outside. On his elegant and fair face, he could not hide his excitement, saying: "Brother, something big happened in Beijing."
Han Huang, with his gray and thin pine brows, his voice as clear as a rainbow, said: "Just now, I heard Hui'er mention it."
Yan Hong said: "Brother, what are you going to do?"
Han Huang nodded and said in a low voice: "I am already too old to be useful. I cannot work with King Wei in the same court. I have to wait a little longer. But you are different. You can return to Beijing and serve as an official. I plan to ask King Wei
I recommend you to be the censor of Zuo Fudu."
Yan Hong entered his official career as a fourth-rank imperial official in the Imperial Academy. Now that he has returned to the court, he should be promoted one level to the imperial censor of the left-deputy capital.
Yan Hong asked uncertainly: "Brother, will King Wei agree?"
Han Huang said with great certainty in his tone: "King Wei is now eager to win over our Zhejiang people, and he is naturally happy to see this happen."
Yan Hong nodded, turned to look at Han Hui aside, and said, "What about Han Hui's nephew?"
Han Huang was silent for a moment and whispered: "Brother, I will write another letter to King Wei, and then we will see King Wei's attitude."
Yan Hong frowned and asked, "Brother, does King Wei really want to replace Han?"
Han Huang said: "The current situation is very obvious. King Wei has completed the initial cleanup of the clan and even the old officials. With King Wei's control over the military power, the generals will naturally support him. This is half the story. Moreover, King Wei's surname is Su.
He has a grudge against Emperor Sejongxian for killing his father."
Yan Hong was silent for a moment and said: "I didn't expect that after the Han Dynasty had been established for a hundred years, the Chen family was exhausted. It is really unbelievable. How could King Wei dare to be so rebellious while Emperor Shizongxian was still there?"
Han Huang sighed softly, sighed, and said: "Emperor Sejongxian can be regarded as a wise king, but he met such an amazing and talented person as King Wei. He endured and lain dormant for many years. Emperor Sejongxian knew something under the spring, but he didn't know it."
How upset I should be."
When Emperor Sejongxian was there, King Wei was extremely obedient and loyal, but Emperor Sejongxian didn't know that treachery was like loyalty.
