Chapter 1718 Jia Heng: Do you want to wear a yellow robe for him?
Palace Garden, Xihe Palace——
Jia Heng led a group of Beijing generals into the Xihe Palace, and then sat down on a lacquered wood table amidst the clang of black iron armor leaves. He raised his wine cup and said, "Fellow soldiers, this time go to the Western Regions to pacify Junggar."
The troops and horses have worked hard and made great contributions to the country. I would like to express my sincere gratitude to you all."
When the generals who were lining up below heard this, they raised their eyes and didn't even dare to say anything.
Jia Heng said warmly: "The Western Region is the homeland of the Han and Tang Dynasties. Now that it has returned to the embrace of the imperial court, you all should have a place in the annals of history."
All the generals in the palace looked happy and talked non-stop.
There was a look of joy on the rough faces of the generals.
Jia Heng put down the tea cup in his hand and winked at the military attache who was standing silently beside him.
With the sound of "swipe", the silk fabric was unfolded, but the military attache of Jinyi Mansion was heard reciting in a powerful voice: "The Emperor of Heaven has decreed: The land of the Western Regions, since the Tang and Song Dynasties, has been
The land was lost several times and was occupied by the bandits. Now, after the bloody battles of our Han soldiers, they have returned to China. From now on, the name will be changed to Xinjiang, and the meritorious generals who have recovered Xinjiang will have unparalleled contributions..."
During this battle, General Jin Xuan of Fuyuan was canonized as a first-class Marquis of Xinning, and also held the post of General of Yili. He led 80,000 troops to guard Xinjiang, while Pang Shili was canonized as a Marquis of Weiyuan and still commanded the general army of Xining.
However, the British Duke Xie Zaiyi was not canonized as a county prince by Jia Heng. In other words, his contribution to the recovery of the Western Regions was not enough to be crowned a county prince, so he could only temporarily record his merits and reward his son.
The rest of the generals with meritorious service were rewarded. For example, Cao Bianjiao, the Marquis of Shanhai, redeemed his merits and was reinstated. However, Jia Heng actually recorded his merits and was awarded the title of Duke of the Kingdom in the future.
After the Jinyi Mansion guards finished reciting the imperial edict, Jia Heng glanced at the generals who were thanking him in the palace and said: "The Ministry of War will reward the soldiers who fought in the Western Regions, and the rewards will be distributed during this period.
In the hands of the soldiers in the camps."
After hearing this, all the generals in the palace clasped their fists in response, and their hearts finally settled.
King Wei regarded the soldiers of the capital camp as his own heirs, so how could he not be rewarded for his merits?
In fact, at the beginning of the year, the cabinet was discussing the rewards for quelling the War in the Western Regions. Finally, based on the importance of the War in the Western Regions, the order of rewards for the Second Marquis, Four Earls, and Seven Viscounts was decided.
With the recovery of Liaodong, the imperial court gradually became stricter on military merit titles.
Due to various wars in recent years, too many meritorious princes were awarded. The imperial court actually narrowed the scope of the princes. However, under Jia Heng's instruction, many more counts and viscounts were awarded to several Beijing battalions that participated in the war.
general.
To a certain extent, it is also an invitation to win over the military.
Jia Heng said: "You have fought hard and come all the way. Let's have some food and wine first and have a few drinks. You won't come back until you're drunk."
When all the generals in the palace heard this, they all agreed.
After a while, the generals seated in the hall were drinking and drinking, exchanging cups and cups, and the atmosphere was lively.
It was not until the afternoon that all the generals in the palace quickly walked out of the main hall with the support of their own soldiers.
Jia Heng also summoned Xie Zaiyi alone to the inner study to talk. The two sat down. The inner supervisor brought several blue and white porcelain tea cups, filled them with tea, and then slowly left.
Xie Zaiyi sat upright and asked in a puzzled tone: "Your Majesty, why don't you take advantage of the opportunity to ascend to the Zen throne today?"
Jia Heng shook his head and said: "If you rush to accept the throne today, you will ultimately lose the bright and glorious intention of inheriting the destiny. Moreover, since the seventh year of Qiande, all the major affairs of the imperial court are still in full swing, and the local governors have not been completely replaced. The Western Region is even more new, and all kinds of affairs are complicated. It is better for the court to remain silent than to move, so let’s wait for next year.”
In his mind, eight years in Qiande should be enough.
Xie Zaiyi considered his words carefully and said: "King Wei wants to fight steadily, but now all the generals are looking to King Wei. King Wei is so hesitant, which will inevitably chill the hearts of the brothers. If things go on like this, it will easily lead to disaster."
Jia Heng thought for a while and said: "That should be next year. This year, it is better for the court to be quiet and not to move."
Xie Zaiyi nodded and said warmly: "Nowadays, everything in the affairs of the DPRK and China is in ruins."
Jia Heng's eyes were burning under his sword-shaped brows, staring closely at Xie Zaiyi, and said: "Until next year, Brother Xie should have a place in the throne of the county king."
After Xie Zaiyi heard this, he bowed his hands to Jia Heng and said, "Your Majesty."
A smile appeared on Jia Heng's face and he said: "Okay, you and I are brothers, we don't need to be so polite."
Xie Zaiyi stood up with the help of Jia Heng. Then, he sat down on a pearwood chair with a backrest and asked: "King Wei, the imperial court has appointed governors in Guangdong and Guangxi, and intends to bring the old land of Qin and Han under its command?"
Jia Heng asked: "If this is the case, is Brother Xie also interested in it?"
Xie Zaiyi looked solemn and said in a deep voice: "If the imperial court needs the last general to lead the army, the last general will go through fire and water. It is incumbent upon him!"
Jia Heng's eyes were filled with admiration and he said: "Brother Xie is loyal and brave, I know it very well."
Xie Zaiyi's eyes were full of enthusiasm and he said loudly: "Your Majesty, now the Beijing camp, the border army, the Prime Minister's Affairs Office, the six ministries in Beijing, the local governors, and the civil and military ministers at home and abroad are all devoted to the Prince and want him to do something great. , I also ask the prince not to let everyone down."
Jia Heng: "..."
What do you mean, do you want to wear a yellow robe for him?
It's not impossible.
Whether it is Xie Zaiyi's title of county king or the title of meritorious service among the generals and commanders in the capital, they are all inseparable from him becoming the emperor.
Jia Heng said: "I only have great ambitions, but now I still need to settle down."
Xie Zaiyi nodded heavily.

Divine Capital City, Princess Jinyang’s Mansion——
In the back house, in the attic——
It was March in spring, and the sun was as bright as the clouds. Through the carved and hollow window lattice, it shone in the carpeted conservatory, and reflected the light on the vases leaning against the standing cabinet.
The beauty was dressed in a vermilion dress with wide sleeves, and her lush hair was combed high into the temples. Under the sunlight, her bright and charming face had an endless melancholy lingering between her eyebrows.
Princess Xianning was watching her son Jia Zhu playing with the rattle under the care of his grandma, and her beautiful and graceful face seemed to be in a daze.
Since her younger brother committed suicide because of rebellion, Princess Xianning has also become a little depressed, or in other words, there has been some estrangement between the couple.
Li Chanyue entered the Nuan Pavilion with a cute and cute child in her arms. She raised her eyes and looked at Princess Xianning. Her voice was soft and soft, and she said, "Sister Xianning, she is very depressed."
Princess Xianning said softly: "No."
Song Yan also held a boy in her arms. It was Song Yan's son, who was younger. His eyes were like black grapes, clear and agile, with an indescribable aura.
At this moment, a graceful young female official came quickly from outside and said softly: "Your Highness, King Wei is here."
Under Princess Xianning's emerald willow eyebrows, her eyes were as clear as rainbows. She pursed her slightly pink lips, and felt a sense of grievance deep in her heart.
My husband, on his side, has not seen her for several months.
Li Chanyue reached out and took Princess Xianning's delicate hand, and said softly: "Sister, Mr. Jia is already here."
Li Chanyue has been married for many years, and her facial features have gained a bit of the softness and gentleness of a married woman.
Then, Jia Heng was seen with a calm face, walking into the hall, staring at Li Chanyue, smiling brightly, and said: "Chanyue, Yan'er, you two are here too."
While Princess Xianning was speaking, her fragrant and beautiful face was as white as snow, and her slightly pink lips pursed lightly, but she hesitated to speak.
Jia Heng walked a few steps quickly and came to Princess Xianning. He looked at her face as white as snow and said, "Chanyue, you and Yan'er go holding Ruo'er and Zhuo'er."
Li Chanyue's starry eyes shone brightly as she stared at Jia Heng. Then, she hesitated to speak and responded softly.
At this moment, Jia Heng quickly walked closer, looked at Princess Xianning's soft and pretty face, and whispered: "Xianning, how are you?"
Suddenly, I couldn't help but be startled. Looking at Princess Xianning with pear blossoms and rain, I couldn't help but feel startled.
Is Xianning crying?
Jia Heng felt a little solemn in his heart. He turned to look at Li Chanyue aside and said, "Chanyue, you hold my son, Ruo'er goes to rest first."
Li Chanyue softly said "Hmm", then looked at Song Yan who was looking thoughtful, and said warmly: "Sister Yan'er, let's go back together."
Song Yan responded softly, her crystal clear eyes filled with soft mist. Then, she glanced worriedly at the silent Princess Xianning, then looked at Li Chanyue beside her, and walked towards the inner compartment.
While Jia Heng was talking, he walked up to Princess Xianning, gently pulled Princess Xianning's slender hair, and said: "Xianning, you have really become less clean these days."
Princess Xianning softly said "Hmm". Under her beautiful and straight nose, there seemed to be a speechless choking sound, and her crystal clear eyes were already filled with two lines of tears.
Jia Heng stretched out his hand and put his arm around Princess Xianning's shoulder, saying warmly: "Xianning, okay, stop crying, stop crying."
But Jia Heng's words seemed to turn on some kind of switch in Xianning, and more and more tears appeared on Princess Xianning's face, and soon they rolled down her face.
The tears flowed from the beads, like pearls with broken strings.
Jia Heng stretched out his hand, gently put his arm around Princess Xianning's shoulder, and said, "Xianning, I can't help you."
Princess Xianning's beautiful face was covered with pear blossoms and raindrops. There was a hint of sobs in her voice as she said, "Sir, it's all my fault."
Jia Heng said softly: "Xianning, everything is over. I was the one who neglected you during this period."
In fact, Xianning has already done a good job. He didn't mean to neglect Xianning before, but just didn't know how to face Xianning.
His brother Chen Ze died unexpectedly, and his mother, Concubine Duanrong, was imprisoned. Xianning was in a dilemma, and it was quite difficult to deal with it.
Princess Xianning turned her fair face with snow-skinned jade face, her sparkling clear eyes seemed to be filled with tears, and she said in a trembling voice: "Sir, I know your...difficulties."
Jia Heng stretched out his hand and gently put his arm around Princess Xianning's shoulders, and said: "Xianning, the matter is over, let's move forward, don't think about this, your mother and concubine are in the palace, wait for a while, you can go to the palace to accompany her more
Stay with her."
Princess Xianning rested her green-haired head on Jia Heng's shoulder. Her pale face, still covered with tears, had two clouds of red clouds floating on both sides.
The husband said it well, but he reached his hand into her clothes dishonestly.
Well, it must have been a habit over the years.
Perhaps after giving birth to a child, Princess Xianning became more dignified than before.
Jia Heng turned around, looked at Princess Xianning's face as white as snow, moved to her slightly pink lips, took a peck, and said softly: "Okay, let's not forget about it in the future.
About this."
"Well." Princess Xianning asked with a hint of mistiness in her voice, "Sir, has the war in the Western Regions been settled?"
Jia Heng's expression paused slightly and he said: "Yes, the war in the Western Regions has completely ended. The army returned victoriously today. I just hosted a banquet for the meritorious generals in the palace."
When Princess Xianning heard this, her heart moved slightly and she said, "Does Mr. Sir want to..."
Jia Heng held Princess Xianning's delicate hand and said, "I don't know how to do it for the time being."
Princess Xianning was silent for a moment, and suddenly said quietly: "Sir, he will become a talented and strategic emperor who can be praised by future generations."
She should have known about her husband's ambition from the beginning.
…
…
After Jia Heng comforted Xianning, he went to the back house to find Princess Jinyang.
At this moment, the sound of reading came from the hall. Jia Heng raised his eyes and saw the eldest princess of Jinyang sitting on a soft couch covered with a mattress.
The beauty is holding a book in her hand, her eyebrows are gentle, and her expression is focused. The sun shines on her fragrant and jade-skinned face, and the hair is slightly soft and crystal clear.
Jia Heng quickly walked a few steps, entered the hall, stared at the eldest princess of Jinyang, and said loudly: "Jinyang."
Under the emerald willow eyebrows of the eldest princess of Jinyang, her crystal clear eyes were as soft as water. She asked: "Come here? Have you just visited Xianning?"
Well, this one smells like rouge and gouache.
Jia Heng nodded and said warmly: "I have gone to see it. I have been busy with matters in the court during this period, so I have been a little neglectful."
Princess Jinyang whispered: "Xianning has done so many things for you, you can't let her down."
Jia Heng nodded and said, "I'm worried about this too."
While talking, Jia Heng came to his son Jia Jie's side, gently patted his son on the shoulder and said, "Jie'er, what book did you read today?"
"Father, this is Jiang Taigong's Sixth Tao." Jia Jie turned his clear, fair face to look at the young man in python suit, with a look of reverence on his face, and said crisply.
Jia Heng smiled and joked: "At such a young age, can you understand this thing?"
The eldest princess of Jinyang rolled her eyes at Jia Heng and said in an angry tone: "Jie'er can understand. How long has it been since you paid attention to Jie'er's studies? Jie'er has read several military books."
Jia Heng underwent plastic surgery and said, "I didn't expect Jie'er to grow so big."
Princess Jinyang: "..."
Why is this person talking so much that he really doesn't care at all?
Jia Heng said in a low voice: "Well, I haven't been with Jie'er during this period. He should have almost finished his studies."
The eldest princess of Jinyang said softly under her emerald willow eyebrows: "My child is like you, very smart. I have never had to worry about homework."
At this moment, Jia Heng picked up a blue and white porcelain tea cup, took a sip, and said with a smile: "That one looks more like you."
The beautiful princess of Jinyang snorted lightly and said nothing else.
The flesh that fell from her body naturally resembled hers.
The eldest princess of Jinyang, her face flushed as if drunk, asked: "Have the soldiers of the Western Regions returned in triumph?"
Under Jia Heng's eyebrows, he raised his eyes and looked at the eldest princess of Jinyang quietly, and said softly: "The master has returned to the court, Jinyang."
Under the emerald willow eyebrows of the eldest princess of Jinyang, her clear and rainbow-like eyes flickered, and she said: "Then the imperial court should not have any foreign wars."
Jia Heng said: "Today, the imperial court has no external wars. It is fully developing its internal affairs and refining its armor and soldiers to build a foundation for the ages."
The eldest princess of Jinyang said warmly: "Now that I have taken my thoughts back, I have to let go of the affairs of the back house."
Jia Heng said: "Now we have arrived."
In the past two years, his thoughts on women have indeed become much less important, or in other words, he has focused more on how to govern the world?
Jia Heng looked at the eldest princess of Jinyang and said warmly: "I have neglected the education of several children recently."
The eldest princess of Jinyang looked surprised and asked, "Stop talking about these things for now, what are your plans for the court affairs?"
Jia Heng said: "We will wait and see what happens next year."
Princess Jinyang was silent for a moment and said, "As long as you have plans in mind."
While Jia Heng was speaking, he gently took the slender hand of Princess Jinyang and said, "Long time no see, let's have a good talk."
Princess Jinyang's face as white as snow turned as red as clouds with shame, and she said angrily: "I'm not afraid of letting the children see it."
Jia Heng gently put his arm around Princess Jinyang's shoulders and said warmly, "It's been a long time since we last met."
The eldest princess of Jinyang snorted softly, her fragrant and jade-skinned face clearly flushed with shame, and said in a warm voice: "Go to the attic."
Jia Heng said "hmm", took the slender hand of Princess Jinyang, and said, "These days, all the affairs of the house depend on you."
He and Xianning were in a certain subtle atmosphere before, but thanks to Jinyang's improvement, things got better.
The eldest princess of Jinyang said loudly under her emerald willow eyebrows: "You and I still say such kind words?"
Jia Heng didn't say much else, and gently put his arms around Princess Jinyang's shoulders and leaned against the bed.
Until the lanterns first came on, a bright moon was as bright as silver, and the moonlight shone like flowers, shining on the eaves of the eaves, as if clear frost was flowing.
