Chapter 428 This Prince Teng is making an assertion again!
The next day, early in the morning, Jia Heng went to the capital camp as usual, and at noon, he reported the adjustments to the Jinyi Mansion's ministries to Emperor Chongping.
Unlike other government offices, Jinyi Mansion is directly under the jurisdiction of the emperor, and all personnel adjustments are made by the emperor at a single word.
In the inner study room of the Daming Palace, Emperor Chongping was reading the memorial sent by Jia Heng. He did not raise his head, but asked: "Ziyu, do you want to adjust the Jinyi Mansion's duties?"
Jia Heng said: "Your Majesty, in the "Pinglu Policy", I previously explained the ways of using time. If you know the details of the affairs in the enemy's territory, you will not be able to do without the support of Jinyi Mansion. Now the Jinyi Mansion's duties are unclear, and you need to get support from Jinyi Mansion.
Reorganize the structure in order to deal with the enemy."
Emperor Chongping flipped through the memorials and saw that the five places on the left, right, front and back were not included in the adjustment. He did not speak for a while. After thinking for a moment, he raised his eyes and looked at the young man standing with a bow. He could not hide the admiration in his eyes and said: "Zi Yu
What he said is not unreasonable. Originally, the Six Divisions and Two Towns and Fu Divisions were too bloated and their responsibilities were unclear. In order to facilitate the war against the captives, it was time to adjust personnel and reorganize duties and responsibilities."
Jia Heng cupped his hands and said loudly: "Holy Lord, Holy Ming."
My heart felt relieved.
The Jinyi Mansion was related to the safety of the imperial power, and the emperor was very suspicious. He did not want Emperor Chongping to have even the slightest idea that he might threaten the imperial power.
If this matter is not communicated in advance, it may become a thorn in the future if you don't realize it now.
Just as the eldest princess of Jinyang reminded in a subtle way yesterday, "You must be careful from now on, otherwise, I will save everything for you."
Emperor Chongping muttered: "Let the matter be settled like this. Now that you are in charge of Jinyi Mansion, you have the right to self-determine the personnel of the Mansion Guards. Mr. Li Ge of Beiping Mansion must also coordinate well."
With that said, he picked up Zhubi and reviewed the memorial written by Jia Heng. He basically approved Jia Heng's request, including his proposal to promote Qulang, a thousand households in Jinyi, and to be the envoy of Fusi Town in Beizhen. Later, he wrote in the memorial that "Jia Heng should use Jia Heng's advice as a memorial."
The mission of "taking charge of the affairs of Jinyi Mansion".
As for the appointments and dismissals of the Six Thousand Households, it can be regarded as a matter of administrative adjustment, allowing Jia Heng to make a single decision.
As for the personnel of the five Qianhu Offices, Emperor Chongping has always been directly involved and can take command at any time. This is the basis to ensure that the Jinyi Mansion can always be in the hands of the emperor.
Jia Heng cupped his hands and said, "I thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness."
There are some things that you can't do even if you really want to. Trying to hold everything in your hands is just a way to die.
As long as he controls and infiltrates the Six Thousand Houses day by day by borrowing money from the enemy, one day he can develop into a much larger intelligence force than the original Five Thousand Houses.
Emperor Chongping put down the memorial and let it dry, then handed it to Dai Quan who was standing aside, and asked: "The day before yesterday, I asked you to recommend a military aircraft driver, are there any candidates?"
Jia Heng muttered: "I recommend someone to you, but I don't avoid relatives when recommending talents."
Emperor Chongping laughed and said, "Now that you say that, I'm really curious."
The person in front of me can even send his in-laws to Dali Temple, and he can make them say the words of promoting the virtuous and not avoiding relatives. I don’t know who it is.
"I recommend Shi Ding, the Marquis of Zhongjing, who once accompanied the king of Xining County in the northwest and was promoted to a noble title due to his meritorious service. I believe that the military department should be filled with ministers who know the military affairs. The Marquis of Zhongjing knows the military affairs and is good at strategizing."
As he said this, he took out another memorial from his sleeve and handed it over.
Originally, seeing Emperor Chongping's expression, if the adjustment of the Jinyi Mansion's affairs did not go smoothly, the matter would be postponed.
Emperor Chongping looked thoughtful and said: "Marquis Zhongjing? The younger brother of Marquis Baoling?"
"The Holy Spirit has a clear vision." Jia Heng said.
Emperor Chongping took the memorial from Dai Quan and read it.
Said to be a memorial, it is actually an analysis of Shi Ding's resume, mainly a comment on his military achievements in the northwest.
Jia Heng added: "Marquis Shi is a national hero and has experienced war. If he can walk in the military plane, at least he will not talk about war on paper and delay the military plane."
Emperor Chongping put down the memorial and said: "Marquis Baoling is getting stronger and stronger than before. He talked to me the day before yesterday and will soon accompany the Prince of Nan'an County to the northwest to inspect the border. I have agreed. In the northwest, the Prince of Xining County has been in poor health in the past two years.
That's great, the barbarians in the northwest are also unstable."
Jia Heng raised his eyebrows and said, "He is the Prince of Xining County?"
The Prince of Xining County can be regarded as a figure similar to the war god of the Han Dynasty. He has been in the northwest for a long time and has become stronger with age. If something happens to him, the northwest will inevitably be turbulent, which may affect the northern captives.
Emperor Chongping sighed: "It's also the Spring and Autumn Period, and the old disease recurred in the early years. The day before yesterday, I sent an imperial doctor from the Imperial Hospital to the northwest for diagnosis and treatment."
Jia Heng secretly wrote down this matter.
Emperor Chongping said: "Since Zi Yu recommended him, I will send Shi Ding as a military aircraft driver to work in the military aircraft office."
Jia Heng quickly suppressed his worries about Northwest and handed over his hand to thank him.
Emperor Chongping asked again: "Can the Minister of Military and Aircraft recommend two people to be commanders, and there is one more person?"
Jia Heng said: "I previously recommended Hangmin, the official of the Qing Dynasty in the military selection of the Ministry of War. This person has been recommended by Li Dajun. I now recommend Wailang Shishu, the official of the Ministry of War. I have worked with this person for a short time. He is well versed in military affairs.
It is heavy and capable, and can be used as a military aircraft to support military affairs."
He really doesn't have many suitable people to recommend.
Generally speaking, the source of military aircraft drivers is very complicated. Below the fifth rank, one is a secretary of the cabinet, another is a doctor of the Sixth Ministry or a foreign minister, and there are even military honors who know military affairs.
Emperor Chongping pondered for a moment and said without comment: "Shi Shu, I have heard about this person."
Jia Heng said: "Your Majesty, there is no customization for the officers of the Military Aircraft Department. If they are not suitable, they can be assigned again."
This is a characteristic of the military aircraft department. If the military aircraft driver is not suitable, he will be dispatched again.
Emperor Chongping nodded and said, "What Zi Yu said is true."
I couldn't help but sigh in my heart, this military aircraft department is quite cheap. I can bypass the cabinet and directly select the officials I like, assign them to dispatch, or take them at any time.
Looking at the young man again, I couldn't help but secretly praise Wang Zuo's talent again.
"Your Majesty, it's getting late. If there's nothing else, I'd like to retire." Jia Heng bowed his hands and resigned.
Emperor Chongping said: "I will not leave you any food. After the Lantern Festival, during the court meeting, an edict will be issued."
He then sent Jia Heng and a group of people and other edicts sent by the military and aircraft ministers to inform the subjects, so that both China and foreign countries would know about it.
Jia Heng bid farewell to Emperor Chongping, left the Daming Palace, walked slowly down the corridor bridge, and walked along the royal road with high palace walls and green eaves.
As soon as they got close to the palace gate, they saw a carriage with eight-treasure hairpins and glazed glass approaching, with guards in front and behind and on the left and right, and palace maids holding ceremonial guards.
Jia Heng thought it was a palace concubine who was traveling, so he hurriedly stepped aside to get out of the way.
"Mr. Jia?"
However, there came a sweet voice as clear and as clear as water drops on a jade chime.
The curtains of the carriage that rolled by were suddenly opened, revealing a face with a clear complexion and slender eyebrows and phoenix eyes. It was Princess Xianning.
Jia Heng raised his eyes, looked intently, and said with a smile: "It turns out to be His Highness Xianning."
Princess Xianning saw that smile, but her mind couldn't help but swayed. She picked up the carriage under the curtain, stood upright, and looked at the young man opposite. Her voice was clear and smooth: "Sir, have you just met your father?"
Jia Heng nodded, looked at the girl in a green dress, and asked: "Come from Daming Palace, where is Your Highness? Why don't you see the little princess?"
Princess Xianning smiled softly, her temperament was as cold as frost, and her smile was as bright as the snow on the Cangshan Mountain and the bright candlelight in the south. At this moment, she looked a bit like her aunt, Queen Song. "Come from my aunt, Chan."
Yue is at home right now. By the way, I’ve already got the second volume of Sir’s Three Kingdoms dialect book.”
Jia Heng smiled and said: "After two more chapters, the second part will be completed as a book. Your Highness will wait for a few days and you will be able to read the complete manuscript."
Princess Xianning's bright eyes sparkled under her willow-leaf slender eyebrows, but she had a faint smile on her pretty face. She said: "I don't claim to be an impatient person, but for the Three Kingdoms Storybook, I haven't even wanted to do it these days.
waited."
Jia Heng was startled for a moment and then said with a smile: "Your Highness, the princess, is too complimentary."
Princess Xianning's compliments are somewhat unique. If you can't wait, you can't wait, so you have to use a translator. What's going on?
Princess Xianning said: "It's just that there are quite a few things in this story that I don't understand. I would like to ask Sir for advice. If Sir, if you have time, why don't you go out of the palace and find a place to have lunch together and talk while eating?"
In the palace, there are many people and it is inconvenient to talk, but it is not as comfortable as outside.
Jia Heng raised his eyes and looked at the graceful noble girl who was not sure whether it was because she was practicing dancing. After thinking about it, he nodded and said: "Okay, otherwise, I might as well go to the eldest princess's house."
Yesterday we made an appointment to go to Li'er's house, but today the little princess is here, so we can't get anything done. So we can take Princess Xianning with us and chat for a while, so it won't be a bad appointment.
"Then it will be as per the teacher's words." Princess Xianning responded readily, walked to the side of the female official who called for Xia, and whispered: "Go back and tell your mother and concubine first that I have gone to my aunt's house, maybe tonight
I won’t go back.”
"Your Highness, we just came from the eldest princess's house..." Zhixia said hesitantly, but saw a hint of coldness flashing through Princess Xianning's phoenix eyes under Liu Ye's thin eyebrows, and she quickly stopped talking.
Princess Xianning's phoenix eyes narrowed, turned around, walked towards Jia Heng, and said, "Sir, let's go together."
Jia Heng didn't say much and followed Princess Xianning out of the palace.
Princess Xianning was half explaining, half talking: "In the afternoon, I originally wanted to go to Brother Wei Wang with Chan Yue to see how his mansion was being repaired, but Chan Yue didn't want to go alone.
There’s no point in going, so I’m going back to the palace.”
Jia Heng asked: "His Royal Highness the King of Wei has left the palace to live?"
Princess Xianning said: "The mansion is almost ready to be expanded, but it's just not habitable yet. Now, Brother Wei Wang has bought a mansion near the Wucheng Bingma Division so that he can handle official business at the Si Yamen. Don't you know, sir?"
Jia Heng shook his head and said: "I really don't know about this matter, but it is admirable for the King of Wei to stay in public all day long."
Although he felt that King Wei might be more popular in three minutes, in front of his sister, he could only choose some compliments to say.
While the two were talking, Princess Xianning added: "The Queen Mother has chosen a princess for Brother Wei Wang."
In fact, by taking the initiative to say this, she was also helping Brother Wei Wang.
Jia Heng was silent for a moment and asked: "Have you decided on any one?"
Princess Xianning said: "It has not been decided yet, but the queen mother has taken a fancy to several noble girls, including those from the Wang family of Nan'an County, the Wang family of Xining County, the daughter of the uncle of Jinxiang, and the daughter of the Marquis of Pingyuan County.
Daughter, as well as the daughter of Liu Yuzhong, the Imperial Academy’s liberator, the daughter of Zhou Hanlin, and, yes, the Wang family, my husband’s in-laws’ family.”
"Which Wang family?" Jia Heng asked with a frown.
Princess Xianning glanced at the young man in surprise and said, "It's Prince Teng's family."
Jia Heng looked gloomy and fell silent for a moment.
This Wang Ziteng is making his own decisions again!
The establishment of Princess Wei is of great importance, because it is related to the future succession, so what if Wang Ziteng's move is regarded as a siding with the four families of Jia Shi Wang Xue?
What is particularly hateful is that Wang Ziteng did not ventilate beforehand.
But, didn’t Wang Ziteng have contact with the King of Chu before? Now he has chosen his granddaughter to be the King of Wei?
Could it be that he was rushed to the doctor due to a sudden illness?
"It should be multi-line betting. This is also the basic operation of a big family." Jia Heng felt cold in his heart.
Because, if he speaks out about this matter, he may offend Empress Song. What's going on, do you look down on my family Ran'er?
Therefore, we can only make insinuations.
In fact, Wang Ziteng had tested the King of Chu before, but even though the King of Chu wanted to win over Wang Ziteng, an old general, he would not accept a thirteen-year-old girl as his concubine. The price was too high.
I'm afraid there will be a big commotion at home.
Later, Wang Ziteng thought that the King of Wei who had gone to the Five Cities Military and Horse Division might be expected to have a great treasure in the future, so he put Wang Zi on the waiting list. However, it was a mistake. Empress Song felt that Wang Ziteng seemed to be an in-law of the Jia clan.
, it really gave me some ideas.
If you take Xungui as your principal concubine, you will be on the side of Nan'an County Prince, and your natal family will be more powerful. This is also the case with Emperor Chongping's approval.
Therefore, if the main concubine cannot do it, the side concubine is under consideration.
Jia Heng, on his side, was thinking about how to ruin Wang Ziteng's good deeds. He turned his eyes and glanced at the girl beside him, secretly thinking that thanks to meeting Xianning today, he might have let Wang Ziteng hide it.
Because of the secrets of the palace, even if he is in charge of Jinyi, he cannot send people to inquire about it. This is a taboo.
Moreover, Dai Quan would not know anything about the queen's side.
"We should let Jinyang move around the Queen of Song Dynasty. He always moves on me. What's going on?" Jia Heng thought.
Princess Xianning looked at the young man's calm expression and couldn't guess what he was thinking.
While the two were talking, they also arrived at the eldest princess's house in Jinyang.
Seeing Princess Xianning who came with Jia Heng, the nun who greeted her at the door was even stunned for a moment. She seemed to be surprised that Princess Xianning had left and returned, so she asked: "Your Highness, hasn't she returned to the palace?"
Princess Xianning's cold, frosty cheeks were also slightly warm, and she said, "I have something to do with my aunt."
In the backyard and in the inner hall, the eldest princess of Jinyang had her hair rolled up and was dressed in a vermilion dress. She was sitting on a wicker chair covered with a mattress, holding a book in her hand and reading with soft eyes.
Yesterday's oversaturation attack made the beauty radiant, and her brows and eyes were overflowing with charm, especially the two bright full moons, which seemed to compete with the full moon on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month.
He glanced back at the little princess sitting on the chair holding embroidery, and asked: "Chanyue, are you not going to the palace today?"
Li Chanyue took the needlepoint and lowered her head to embroider a peony flower. She said delicately: "I've been a little tired these days and don't want to go."
This princess is not industrious, in fact she also has the skills of female beauty.
The eldest princess of Jinyang said "Oh", lowered her beautiful eyes, and read the book for a while. After a while, she murmured: "I heard that the palace of Prince Wei will be repaired soon. It will be a garden craftsman from Suzhou. You
Don’t you want to go take a look?”
Li Chanyue said crisply: "Brother Wei Wang, he has been too busy these days to see anyone, so it's not too late to disturb him. After the construction is completed, we can celebrate the housewarming and it won't be too late to enjoy the garden again."
The eldest princess of Jinyang looked at her daughter and was speechless for a moment. Yurong paused and sighed quietly: "Tomorrow is the Lantern Festival, and our house is deserted."
The little princess took a needle and thread and threaded it through the silk, and whispered: "Mother can hold a poetry party or something. Isn't that the way it was done in the past?"
The eldest princess of Jinyang frowned, put the book on the small table beside her, sighed, and said: "Some sour and fake poems, if you think about it carefully, they are not interesting at all."
In the past few days, I have begun to feel that the first half of my life was wasted.
Hearing this, the little princess put down her embroidery, looked at the lost beauty, and said, "How about calling Mr. Jia over?"
When the eldest princess of Jinyang heard this, her heart skipped a beat, her beautiful eyes narrowed, and she scolded: "You kid, you know how to talk nonsense. If I don't reunite with my family on the Lantern Festival, what are you doing here?"
But while they were talking, they were aroused by their own daughter's resentment, and they couldn't even watch the lanterns together during the Lantern Festival.
Li Chanyue saw the beauty's shy and annoyed expression, and became even more suspicious, saying, "Then I'll go to the palace tomorrow to watch the fireworks and lanterns."
"That's okay." Princess Jinyang said. She glanced at the girl with mist-like features, and felt a bit of pity in her heart. She said softly: "Chanyue, you are not young anymore. Why don't you make a decision for me?"
Is it a matter of marriage?"
Li Chanyue paused in her hand and groaned in pain, but the needle pricked her finger, and blood suddenly oozed from her delicate white finger.
Princess Jinyang's expression changed slightly, she quickly stood up and said, "Chanyue, why are you so careless?"
After saying that, he picked up his daughter's hand, looked at the blood drops on it, and frowned. It was like when he was a child, he put it in his mouth and sucked it. But he didn't know if it was because he was itching for the first time yesterday when he first learned the skill, and Lilac subconsciously moved.
Down.
Li Chanyue felt her fingers, Qiongbi snorted, and looked at Princess Jinyang in astonishment... somewhat confused.
The eldest princess of Jinyang looked as if nothing had happened, frowned and said reprovingly: "It's faster this way, you should be more careful."
However, on the hibiscus jade face, the snow-white skin has a faint blush, which beautifully reflects the plum blossom makeup on the smooth and jade-like forehead.
Li Chanyue sighed softly: "I can't help it, but my mother insists on talking about marriage. I still want to serve my mother for a few more years."
The eldest princess of Jinyang looked at the girl with much softer features and asked secretly, "Do you serve me, or should I serve you?"
Youyou said: "The girl's family always has to marry someone."
Li Chanyue's clear cheeks seemed to be a little blushing, her eyebrows were lowered, and she whispered: "I didn't tell you what my mother said last time, I think Mr. Jia is pretty good."
Princess Jinyang's pink face turned as clear as frost. This time she was really annoyed and said in a cold voice: "That's nonsense. Have you ever seen a princess become a concubine? How can she care about the royal family's face if she is willing to degenerate?"
"
The last time Chan Yue said this, she hadn't reached this point with him yet, so what's going on now?
Although she has already seen all kinds of secrets about the royal family and what a filthy Tang Dynasty man, Chan Yue is not her biological child.
But... no, absolutely not.
I quickly suppressed some of my thoughts.
Li Chanyue's expression paused slightly and she remained silent. For a moment, she couldn't grasp Princess Jinyang's feelings.
How else could one be willing to degenerate and put the royal family in shame... So, there is no such thing?
At this time, a nun entered the hall and said: "Your Highness, His Highness Xianning and Mr. Jia are here together."
The eldest princess of Jinyang heard this and said in surprise: "Xianning? Huh?"
Li Chanyue put down the embroidery in her hands and whispered: "Some people really don't care about it."
While talking, Jia Heng and Princess Xianning entered the inner hall of the backyard attic.
"Xianning, you two... why are you here?" Princess Jinyang looked at the two people who came hand in hand and asked with a frown.
Princess Xianning said: "On the way back to the palace, I met Mr. Jia. I thought there was something confusing about the Three Kingdoms dialect book I got from my aunt, so I simply asked him about the author."
This noble man from Tianhuang didn't have much to say and was very generous.
Jia Heng glanced at the eldest princess of Jinyang, lingered for a moment on her beautiful and fragrant jade face, quickly exchanged glances with her, turned to look at the pretty and childish Li Chanyue, and said hello: "Princess Princess.
"
Li Chanyue raised her clear eyes and looked at the young man opposite. She didn't know if it was because of the conversation just now, but she felt a little strange in her heart. She nodded and said, "Mr. Xiao Jia."
Several people sat down again, drinking tea and talking.
Princess Xianning raised her eyes and asked: "Aunt, are you still going to the palace during the Lantern Festival?"
"It's the same thing every year, and it's not interesting. I haven't been feeling well these past two days. I don't plan to go tomorrow. I'll go to the palace to ask for my blessing and then come back. You and Chan Yue can go together and have fun."
Princess Jinyang said softly.
On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, the heavenly family and the people enjoy together, and the royal family, princes and princesses will gather together to enjoy the lanterns, maintain family harmony, and set an example for the world.
