Chapter 383: The Emperor Taishang: The descendants are terrifying
Chonghua Palace
There is a cloud bed paved with light yellow silk, with a gold lacquer relief of two dragons playing with pearls behind it, and several palace maids holding wishful things in their hands and serving them with fragrant flowers.
Emperor Longzhi has pale hair, is wearing a dragon robe on his old figure, has rosy cheeks, and a happy expression. He is holding a wine bottle in his hand at the moment, and the people watching the singing and dancing below do not look like an old man in his late teens.
On the left and right embroidery piers are beauties in bright clothes, about thirty or forty years old, and exquisite makeup.
As a high-pitched, sharp voice came from the inner prison, "Your Majesty, the Queen has arrived!"
Emperor Longzhi raised his eyes and looked in the direction of the palace door. The smile on his face gradually faded away. He waved his hand and the singer who was performing and dancing in the palace bowed and retreated to both sides.
The King of Chu, King of Qi and other members of the clan, who were originally sitting on the sides below, enjoying the singing and dancing, as well as the princess, the princess, and the prince-in-law, all stopped holding chopsticks and cups, and raised their eyes to look in the direction of the palace door.
.
Emperor Chongping and Empress Song entered the palace hand in hand. Facing the gazes of the clan, princess and consort, they stood on the red carpet in the palace.
Emperor Chongping bowed deeply to Emperor Longzhi and said: "My son has met my father, and I wish him long life and may the pine and crane spring forever."
Empress Song also bowed and saluted, saying: "I have met my father, and I only wish that my father is in good health and has a long life."
The Han family ruled the world with filial piety. No matter what Emperor Chongping thought of Emperor Longzhi, he still needed to bow respectfully when he saw Emperor Longzhi. Otherwise, in the eyes of foreign ministers, it would be a sign that his moral conduct was lacking.
Jia Heng also saluted beside him. At this moment, he could clearly feel a few eyes in the palace falling on him.
However, Emperor Longzhi remained silent for a long time, as if he had not heard anything, until the concubine on the side smiled and said: "Your Majesty, the emperor and the empress want to greet you."
"Oh, the emperor and the empress are here." Emperor Longzhi's expression was sluggish, as if he was slow to react and deaf. He waved his hands and said in a low voice: "Just get back on your feet."
Emperor Chongping's cold eyes narrowed under his thin brows, and he and Empress Song stood up to express their gratitude.
Jia Heng also stood up to thank him, but just watching this scene, he also had some understanding in his heart.
He asked why Queen Song's voice had become so cautious just now.
There is clearly a rift between the most noble father and son in the world, but because the royal family is a model of virtue for the world, it is necessary to maintain the illusion of harmony among the heavenly family.
Perhaps because of his "Zen position", Emperor Longzhi didn't like Emperor Chongping very much, and Emperor Chongping couldn't stand his father, who was "old at heart" and lived an extravagant life.
At this time, several eunuchs and palace maids led Emperor Chongping and Empress Song to sit on the bed at the head of the clan. In the palace, the lively chatter and laughter gradually subsided.
It can be said that with the arrival of Emperor Chongping, the atmosphere in the entire palace suddenly became solemn and serious.
How should I put it, it's like a cold king has arrived.
"No wonder the old man doesn't like the emperor. The emperor is majestic and difficult to get close to."
Jia Heng glanced at Emperor Longzhi, who was gray-haired, nearly seventy years old, but energetic and rosy-cheeked. He glanced at the three or four figures beside him, and on the faces of the beautiful concubines, he thought, at this age of the old man, it is impossible to say
How many women can you control at night?
At this moment, Jia Heng also had time to look at the scene in the palace, which was full of pearls and green robes, and in terms of the composition of the people, this was a royal family banquet.
As far as I could see, he was either a prince or a prince, or a princess, a princess, or a princess, and the one who was further away was probably a prince-in-law.
He is a distinguished person, just like an outsider, which makes him look a bit dazzling.
Well, strictly speaking, he’s not an outsider, right?
At this moment, a familiar bright red flashed in Jia Heng's eyes. The beauty with the light red palace clothes and a hibiscus-like face was not the eldest princess of Jinyang, Chen Li, or who else?
The eldest princess of Jinyang had already cast her beautiful eyes as moist as water towards Jia Heng. Suddenly she met the cold gaze, a smile appeared at the corner of her mouth, and her eyes were a bit softer.
The two people's eyes met, and the beauty suddenly blinked her phoenix eyes, her eyes filled with water. Jia Heng quickly averted her eyes and secretly said, "She is really a fairy."
The little princess Li Chanyue next to Princess Jinyang was also looking at Jia Heng and whispered: "Mom, why is Mr. Jia here too?"
The eldest princess of Jinyang smiled sweetly and thought to herself, why can't he come?
On this side, King Qi and King Chu led their concubines over, and King Wei and King Liang also led the eighth son of the emperor, Chen Ze, to pay tribute to Emperor Chongping and Queen Song.
I just finished the ceremony and was about to return to my seat.
King Qi's eyes widened, and his chubby face showed "exaggerated" surprise. He pointed at Jia Heng and asked in a low voice: "General Yunhui, why are you here?"
Jia Heng: "..."
As soon as these words came out, all the clans in the palace who had not paid much attention to Jia Heng's presence, or those who were just slightly confused but it was difficult to inquire, looked over.
The King of Chu also noticed Jia Heng just now. Now he raised his eyes to look at the young man, and there was a bit of coldness in his eyes.
Emperor Longzhi, who didn't care who Emperor Chongping brought into the palace, cast curious eyes upon hearing King Qi's voice and asked: "Which clan is this young man from?
Tight?"
Except for some princes and princes, Emperor Longzhi really didn't recognize the entire clan, so he was not doubtful just now.
Mainly, Jia Heng is wearing a python suit, which was originally a costume given to the sons of princes or princes.
Yongchang's consort smiled and said: "Your Majesty has been living in the palace for a long time, so he doesn't know something. This young man is a descendant of the Ning Kingdom who has recently become famous. He is a first-class Yunhui general, Jia Heng."
The Prince Consort of Yongchang had gray hair and a handsome face. He was in his early fifties. He was also a handsome man when he was young. He married Princess Huaiqing, the sister of Emperor Longzhi.
Of course, he and the four princes and eight princes are old relatives, and this was mentioned in the original work of "A Dream of Red Mansions".
"After Ning Guo Gong?" Emperor Longzhi's originally indifferent face showed a strange color. Then he looked at the heroic young man in the distance and asked, "Looking at the facial features, he looks a bit like Ning Guo Gong."
Of course, these words are just polite words. When Ning Guogong was alive, Emperor Longzhi was still young. How could he still remember Ning Guogong's appearance after so many years?
It's nothing more than a tribute to my father and ancestors and a compliment.
Yongchang's prince-in-law smiled and introduced: "This Jia Heng is an outstanding general. He is now leading the Beijing camp and is highly regarded by the emperor."
Emperor Longzhi was finally surprised this time and asked: "Looking so young? How old is this child?"
There was a murmur in my heart, why would the emperor make such great use of the descendants of the Ning Kingdom?
Yes, there is no one available for him anymore.
At this time, Emperor Chongping glanced at Prince Qi coldly and scolded: "How unbecoming it is for you to be startled and yell in front of your imperial grandfather!?"
King Qi's expression suddenly changed, he lowered his head and lowered his eyebrows as if to please his eyes. Regardless of the eager look on Princess Xiang's face behind him, he pulled on his python robe and said loudly: "Father, I am just surprised. Isn't it a family banquet today?
Why are there still foreign ministers entering?"
King Chu was on the side, originally looking at the young man coldly, but upon hearing this, the corner of his mouth twitched, he was the only eldest brother who dared to be so reckless.
But I am happy to see this happen. It would be better if two people fight!
Well, it would be interesting if the imperial grandfather ordered people to drive Jia Heng out of Chonghua Palace.
Emperor Chongping snorted coldly and ignored King Qi.
I never need to explain to my son.
Empress Song smiled brightly and said: "General Yunhui Jia Heng is not an outsider. He is a descendant of the Ning Kingdom. As a junior martial artist, he should have come to meet your imperial grandfather."
Although the Queen of Song Dynasty explained it like this, there were still people in the palace who looked at Jia Heng with some old or scrutinizing eyes, waiting for his words.
Jia Heng said loudly: "On New Year's Eve, the Heavenly Family and the people are enjoying themselves together. The ministers and their fathers go to the Chonghua Palace to congratulate the Emperor for a thousand years. They are pure in virtue and look up to the Emperor's kind face. Do you think it's okay for the King of Qi County?"
This King of Qi just needs to be punished, so he comes here to cause trouble.
The fat on King Qi's big face jumped, and a sneer curled up at the corner of his mouth, and he said: "Jia Yunhui is still so sharp-tongued and eloquent. I heard that he just asked the chief minister of the cabinet, Mr. Yang Ge, and was speechless.
Word."
The eldest princess of Jinyang watched this scene from a distance, her beautiful willow-leaf eyebrows condensed, and she stared at the plump, pig-headed King Qi, with a sharp look in her crystal clear eyes.
This Chen Cheng, no matter how big or small!
Emperor Longzhi watched the exchange of words between the two, smiled, and said to the Prince Consort Yongchang on the side: "This Queen of Ning Guo seems to be quite sharp-tongued."
It can be seen that there seems to be some difficulty between his eldest grandson and the descendant of Ning Guogong.
The fighting spirit of the younger generation is only somewhat interesting now.
Yongchang Prince Consort explained: "Your Majesty, the previous dynasty just had a dispute over the canon of military parades. Jia Yun issued the "Pinglu Policy" and impeached Yang Guochang, the chief minister of the cabinet. Only then did the King of Qi say this."
When Emperor Longzhi heard this, his expression suddenly changed, a flash of surprise flashed in his eyes, and he said: "Pinglu Ce?"
There's nothing I can do about it, the word "婷" is too reminiscent of the Supreme Emperor.
Can't bear to look back...
The Prince Consort of Yongchang said: "Jia Yun made ten plans to suppress the prisoners and made suggestions for the emperor, but he was opposed by some of his ministers."
Emperor Longzhi frowned and said: "He is a young man, even though he is a general and a tiger, and he is a genius, but after so many wars, how many strategies can he have? Let alone the talkative Zhao Kuo, Ma Su and the like?"
At this moment, Emperor Longzhi remembered a person. At that time, Tan Jin, the Minister of the Ministry of War, who urged him to personally conquer the Eastern Lu, misled him with big words, resulting in the destruction of the six armies, and the Eastern Lu's power was unstoppable.
And his past and present names are also...
Thinking of this, the smile on Emperor Longzhi's face gradually froze, and when he looked at the young man again, he felt a bit of scrutiny and coldness. He was another smooth-talking and flattering minister who was lucky enough to be promoted.
Then he said to the Prince Consort of Yongchang: "Let Jia Heng, a descendant of Ning State, come over and give us a reply."
Hearing this, Yongchang's Prince Consort paused, responded, and said: "General Yunhui, the Emperor has called you to come forward and give me a reply."
When Jia Heng heard this, his heart was shocked. He quickly looked at Emperor Chongping who was standing aside. Seeing his calm face, he nodded to himself.
Jia Heng suddenly realized that this was the emperor's intention.
The emperor's idea may be that I am cleaning up your mess and have formulated a national policy strategy.
Jia Heng stood up from his seat, walked forward as close as possible, faced Emperor Longzhi, bowed and said: "My lord, First Class General Yunhui, I would like to pay my respects to the Emperor. Long live, long live, long live."
"Ping Shen." Emperor Longzhi looked at the young man opposite and said slowly.
Jia Heng stood up and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty."
Emperor Longzhi's voice was a bit cold: "I heard that you were sent to Pinglu to serve the emperor?"
Jia Heng raised his eyes to look at the Supreme Emperor, with a calm expression on his face, and said in a clear and clear voice: "Heng has served as a national hero and has received numerous favors from the country. Nowadays, barbarians are raging in northern Xinjiang and endangering the country. I have a plan to assist you in dealing with the responsibilities."
.”
Emperor Longzhi heard the young man's loud words, was silent for a moment, and sneered: "You are young and have not experienced the complexity of military affairs. You do not know the importance of military affairs. You need to know that soldiers are important matters of the country, the place of life and death, and the way of survival.
We must pay attention to it, how can we dare to make arrogant statements about how to defeat the captives?"
Jia Heng said: "Why did your Majesty, without seeing the details of my proposal, make a preconceived idea and make a rash conclusion because I am young?"
"Presumptuous!" King Qi swayed his fat body, walked over, and scolded: "Jia Heng, how can you be so rude in front of the emperor's grandfather?"
Jia Heng glanced at the King of Qi, his expression remained unchanged, and he said in a deep voice: "The king and his ministers are asking, regarding important military and political matters, the King of Qi County is a vassal of the country, and he did not get any inquiries, but made remarks to disturb each other. I don't know why?"
King Qi looked angry, turned to look at Emperor Longzhi, and opened his mouth to speak, but heard a faint old voice: "King Qi, please step aside first."
King Qi's expression froze, he glanced at Jia Heng coldly, and stepped aside.
Emperor Longzhi waved his hand, signaling King Qi to step aside, looked at the young man, and said, "He is really sharp-tongued and has a sharp tongue."
Without waiting for Jia Heng to say anything else, he asked: "Is there Ping Lu Ce with you, who can bring it to me for a look?"
He didn't think that this young boy could write any brilliant strategies. He had practiced the country for more than thirty years and had seen countless wise people and clever opinions.
Emperor Chongping looked coldly and said solemnly: "My son, I will bring you a share."
With that said, he took out a memorial from his sleeve and handed it to Dai Quan who was standing aside.
He brought Jia Heng to the Chonghua Palace, or in other words, "Pinging the Captives", not to show off to the emperor. If there was no success in the war against the captives, what was there to show off?
Rather, it shows that he has a well-thought-out approach to national policy and has considered it all, and does not need to go to Chonghua Palace for further comment.
Dai Quan took the policy and handed it over with broken steps.
The Prince Consort of Yongchang stood up and took the memorial, turned around and presented it: "Your Majesty."
Emperor Longzhi nodded, stretched out his hand to take the memorial, and began to read it under the gazes of many eyes in the palace. As time passed, his face gradually became solemn.
After all, he was once an emperor, and he had worked hard in the first half of his life. As he read, his initial indifference gradually changed to seriousness. His body, which had been sitting crookedly, now sat upright.
Below, Emperor Chongping saw this, his eyes moved slightly and his heart became calm.
Empress Song was also a master at observing words and expressions. Seeing this scene, her beautiful eyes shone brightly under her beautiful eyebrows. Her heart moved and she couldn't help but look at the young man who stood tall and straight, like an unsheathed sword.
After Emperor Longzhi finished reading the memorial, he remained motionless and speechless for a long time.
"Your Majesty." Yongchang's consort called softly.
Emperor Longzhi woke up and turned around with a calm face. He raised his head and looked at the young man. He had many questions to ask in his mind. He opened his mouth and suddenly realized his identity and that this moment seemed inappropriate.
The King of Qi said anxiously: "The emperor's grandfather, Yang Shoufu once said that Jia Yunhui was a traitor to the country..."
"The next generation is to be feared." All the questions in Emperor Longzhi's mind were finally turned into one comment.
King Qi said: "???"
No, this future life is terrible, who are you talking about?
When the clan members in the palace were paying attention to this matter, their faces all changed when they heard this, and they looked at the young man in surprise.
Secretly, could Ce Shu be written in a way that suits the emperor’s wishes?
At this time, Emperor Longzhi handed the memorial to the Prince Consort of Yongchang aside and said: "You have also sent troops to the northwest, so take a look."
The Prince Consort of Yongchang originally served as a military supervisor and had served as a military governor in the northwest, so he still knew a little about military affairs.
Emperor Longzhi frowned, looked at the young man in amazement, and said: "Although the strategy is very relevant to the current situation and points directly to the key points, it is easy to know but difficult to do. There are many difficulties that cannot be covered by this strategy."
After all, he is the emperor who has been in charge of the world for more than thirty years. Even though he approves of the plan in his heart, he still maintains his calm and will not make a fuss about it.
However, precisely because of this, the comparison with the previous attitude of questioning Jia Heng also allowed the surrounding clans to see some clues.
There's something about "Pinglu Ce"!
King Chu frowned and looked at the tall young man with doubts in his eyes.
King Qi's face was ashen and he did not hide his resentment.
The princess on the side, Xiang Shi, had a trace of worry on her gentle and peaceful face.
This Jia Yunhui has the trust of his father. It would be unwise for the prince to conflict with him like this.
Jia Heng said in a deep voice: "If the Holy One supports me, my ministers will do their best, and they will serve the school to death. If they are not arrogant or impetuous, even if there are thousands of difficulties, everything will be possible."
Emperor Longzhi looked at the determined expression on the young man's face and was speechless for a moment.
The policy is indeed not an unrealistic statement. On the contrary, it is quite practical and even sophisticated. At one time, he thought it was the ghostwriter of the governor in the field of economics and strategy. However, the grammar is sharp and high-spirited, and he can see the ambition of a young man.
It's like the words that an old and despondent person can write.
When the eldest princess of Jinyang saw this, her jade face was rosy, and her beautiful eyes were shining at the young man who was confronting her father. Her heart became more and more happy, and she even had an impulse. She really wanted the whole world to know that this was her Jinyang
The chosen man!
Emperor Longzhi pondered for a long time and said: "No matter how exquisite the memorial is, it must be implemented in a practical way. Nowadays, the border is invaded by bandits. Since you are a national hero, you just have to do your job with your heart."
After all, he is an emperor who has ruled the world for decades. He still has strategic vision and will not go against his will and say that the memorial is all nonsense and childish nonsense.
Jia Heng raised his hand.
Emperor Longzhi turned to look at Emperor Chongping, his eyes deep, but he didn't say anything after all.
He already knew what the emperor meant. However, the power of the Eastern captives could not be determined by a single policy. In the final analysis, the two armies still had to fight.
