Chapter 476 Jia Heng: Red Mansions on the tip of your tongue?

 Ningguo Mansion

Jia Heng did not return to the hall immediately, but went to take a bath and change clothes first, put on a jade-colored gown, and went to the hall.

As far as the eye can see, there are floating green and flowing flowers, birds and birds, and colorful purples and reds.

Qin Keqing, Second Sister You, Third Sister You, Xichun, Yuanchun, and Sister Feng were all sitting aside, while the maids and the mother-in-law were waiting behind them.

Qin Keqing stepped forward and asked softly: "Husband, how is Miaoyu?"

Jia Heng took the opportunity to sit down, cleaned her hands, frowned and said: "The doctor has already checked it out and prescribed some medicine. With her temperament, it is not a problem to hide her illness and avoid medical treatment."

Third Sister You, with her beautiful face and charming smile, said: "It has to be the uncle, and no one else can persuade her."

In fact, this woman with a fierce temperament was not very happy with Miaoyu's aloofness and proud temperament.

Especially when they met several times, Miaoyu looked at her with a "pity" look, as if she was just a plaything.

Yuan Chun said: "I heard that she came from an official family, so she is quite arrogant."

Sanjie You smiled lightly and disagreed.

arrogant?

I'm afraid that in the end, I won't be able to escape the competition between bedfellows.

Qin Keqing turned to look at Jia Heng and asked: "Husband, the old lady wants to see the eldest man off tomorrow, will you go?"

Jia Heng nodded and said, "It's okay to go and see him off."

Tomorrow, Jia She and Jia Lian's father and son were exiled to Guizhou. He actually didn't want to go, but on second thought, he had to consider Jia's mother's feelings after all.

Nowadays, in Ning Rong's second house, Ning is strong, Rong is weak, and Jia's mother's nerves are actually quite fragile. She has been thinking wildly these days.

Ordinarily, in his current position, he doesn't seem to need to care about Rong Mansion's attitude.

In fact, it was not the case. As he had thought before, the two houses of Ning and Rong were united and needed to establish a banner of unity to unite the hearts of the clan.

And to put it bluntly, even if you want to be Wang Mang, you must eventually build a memorial arch to show friendship to your relatives.

In addition, in this world, even if you really have no taboos, you cannot show it.

This is the rule of society. People are born free, but they are always in chains.

Jia Heng put away his thoughts, turned to look at Qin Keqing, and said softly: "You don't have to go tomorrow, I'll just go and take a look."

Sister Feng listened to the couple talking in the distance and sighed quietly.

Everyone sat down one after another and started eating their food.

After a while, Jia Heng looked at Qin Keqing, Second Sister You, and Third Sister You, and said softly: "You two can play mahjong while I go to the study."

Jia Heng didn't stay long and went back to the study to start flipping through the archives he had found from Jinyi Mansion and Dali Temple.

After a long time, Jia Heng frowned and his eyes became darker.

"Sure enough, there are doubts. Chang Jin's grandfather and father worked as weavers in Suzhou. Strictly speaking, this family is not the prince's family, but more like the emperor's family. From the spy information archived by the Jinyi Mansion, Chang Jin is considered conscientious as an official.

, he should have offended King Zhongshun and was brought in by a counter-case in Chongping three years ago." Jia Heng thought.

In the early days of Emperor Chongping's accession to the throne, the Supreme Emperor and Emperor Chongping had the same attitude towards the remnants of the violent prince in order to protect the country.

Suzhou weaver Chang Jin was implicated in a scandal involving the violent prince.

This rebellion was committed by Hu Ji, the commander-in-chief of Fuzhou at that time. It was said that he had obtained the orphan of Prince Ru, and wanted to plot rebellion in the southeast. Suzhou Weaver Chang Jin also communicated with Hu Ji through letters and made an appointment to start a rebellion, and was then taken along.

.

"This case later proved that the so-called orphan of Prince Ru was just a fiction, and Hu Ji had been exiled from the Yi tribe, which implicated many people. But more than ten years later, the case of Prince Ru had disappeared, and Emperor Chongping seemed to realize

For this reason, a big prison was set up, which was detrimental to the saint's morality, and of course he gradually became more secure in his position." Jia Heng thought.

"There are also several letters in this appendix. It is still unclear whether they were written by Chang Jin or not." Jia Heng took the letters and frowned.

After all, too much time has passed in this case. Even if there are grievances, it is generally not easy to mention it again, even if it is to show mercy.

The normal operation is to wait until Emperor Chongping's son ascends the throne before making any favors one day.

Some things are like scars that have never healed. Although they have healed long ago, once they are torn open, what is revealed is bloody granulation.

"I'm afraid it's not easy to be rehabilitated. Let's talk to Miaoyu tomorrow." Jia Heng's eyes flashed and he made a plan.

Even if it is him, once something involves the case of Prince Ru, he must be cautious.

"However, we can overthrow King Zhongshun first and take revenge in another way." Jia Heng thought.

At night, Qin Keqing came in through the curtain. The beauty was wearing a crimson-colored woven gold-trimmed round-neck gown, a white cross-collar jacket, and an ivory skirt embroidered with folded branches and chrysanthemums. She had a slim figure and a charming face, followed by

Baozhu and Ruizhu are two maids.

Jia Heng looked at Qin Keqing and said softly: "Keqing, aren't you asleep yet?"

"Husband, it's midnight, it's time to rest." Qin Keqing approached, with a look of concern on her pink face, and said.

Jia Heng nodded and said, "I just finished reading these files."

As he said that, he gathered the files and locked them in the cabinet. He probably had an idea about Chang Jin's case.

The couple returned to the side room, Jia Heng sat on the bed, flipping through a storybook, while Baozhu and Ruizhu washed the couple's feet.

Qin Keqing nestled her little head on Jia Heng's shoulder, paused for a moment with her eyes on the strawberry on Jia Heng's neck, smiled softly, and asked: "Husband, are you not going to the military plane tomorrow?"

"Your Majesty asked me to train my troops well. I can put aside the matters concerning the military aircraft department for a while." Jia Heng flipped through the Sui and Tang Dynasty stories written by Third Sister You, frowned and said, "The progress of the plot seems to have sped up in her latest film.

many?"

It almost seems like a mess.

Qin Keqing's beautiful eyes moved slightly, with an expression on her face that looked like a smile but not a smile, and she said softly: "It's good that she can still write now."

When Jia Heng heard this, he sighed softly and put together the Sui and Tang Dynasty scripts with exquisite and vivid vertical paintings.

Secretly, a generation of female literary giants has just fallen?

If I had known this, I wouldn't have planted a flag for Third Sister.

"Where is my husband's Three Kingdoms? Is it still written? There are so many things going on inside and outside now." Qin Keqing said softly, under the willow leaf's thin eyebrows, a pair of beautiful black eyes secretly looked at the young man beside him, or

He said his eyes stayed on the strawberry mark on his neck.

Jia Heng said: "The second volume has been handed in. It will be edited and printed by Hanmo Studio. It should be completed in a few days."

What my wife asked me is also quite interesting.

Jia Heng gently stroked Qin Keqing's snow shoulder, and heard his wife say quietly: "Back in Liutiao Hutong, my husband was writing the first manuscript of the Three Kingdoms in the study. It was only yesterday, but now I have finished writing the second one.

"

Jia Heng was silent for a moment and said softly: "Yes, there will be a third, fourth, and fifth part..."

Qin Keqing: "???"

For example, according to one hundred and twenty chapters, fifteen chapters are one part, which seems to be eight parts?

Jia Heng put the Sui and Tang Dynasty script in his hand on the bedside table, reached out and pinched Ke Qing's pink face, and said softly: "Ke Qing, it's late at night, we should rest."

But Qing seems to be jealous again.

My wife, who is good at style and pretty, is not old after all, and she can be a little jealous from time to time.

Can only wait a while...

Xu Shi was reborn as the second generation. As time passed, his soul completely merged with his body. The three treasures supported him and he used his spirit to nourish his essence. He found that even after tossing with Li'er, he did not feel tired.

"Well, let's rest then." Qin Keqing's beautiful face suddenly turned a faint blush. After Baozhu and Ruizhu wiped her feet, she slowly retreated and put down the curtains hooked by golden hooks, and blew out a few lamps on the high table.

candlestick.

"Husband, how can this...be done there?"

After a while, Keqing was on the bed, with her temples scattered and wearing only a white hibiscus embroidered coat. Her red jade face changed color slightly. She supported her elbow with one hand and looked at Jia Heng in surprise, trembling.

road.

"It was you in the past... now I will serve you for a while." Jia Heng whispered.

In fact, he just didn't want to favor one over the other. He felt a little indebted to his wife these days.

Qin Keqing's face was as hot as fire and her heart was filled with embarrassment. She stood up and said in a trembling voice: "Husband, how can this... be possible?

At midnight, in early spring and February in the Qinling Mountains, the climate is changeable, sometimes cold and sometimes hot.

Dark clouds covered the dark sky, and suddenly a spring rain fell, hitting the branches and leaves of the willow trees with new green buds in the courtyard. Another half an hour passed, and suddenly the night wind came, and a willow tree in the southwest corner of the courtyard fell.

As if being stirred by the cool breeze of late spring, the water drops covering the green leaves of the willow branches suddenly fell down like broken pearls. The red lanterns under the eaves of the corridor also swayed with the wind, and the bright firelight came from far and near.

The water droplets shine in circles, sparkling and beautiful.





Prince Zhongshun's Mansion

In the attic, the lights were bright and the eyes were filled with beauty. In the middle of the attic, on the stage set up, Qi Guan'er and several actors were singing a play.

King Zhongshun seemed to have had dinner, and he was lying on the Arhat bed with soft mattresses, leaning against pillows. He was surrounded by four or five concubines, who were rubbing their shoulders, beating their legs, and even using their bare hands to break the freshness. Orange, fed to King Zhongshun, orange juice is all over his beard.

Zhou Changshi walked around a glass screen with pictures of mountains, rivers and waterfalls, and stood on the red peony carpet donated by Persian merchants to the Han Dynasty. He did not dare to look more, and said with cupped hands: "Your Majesty, Jia Yucun is here to visit."

Jia Yucun lost his official position due to his involvement in Xue Pan's case. After Zhou Changshi advised King Zhongshun, he was released from the Metropolitan Procuratorate, but all his official positions were removed. Jia Yucun naturally hated Jia Heng deeply and has already Completely surrendered to King Zhongshun.

King Zhongshun waved his hand and said impatiently: "What does he want to see me for? Let him wait for a while. I have already said hello to the officials. When the capital inspection plan comes to an end around June, there will be vacancies in the place." , let him wait patiently."

Zhou Changshi rolled his eyes and said: "Your Majesty, this person from Jia Yucun used to work for the Jia family and knows very well about the affairs of the Jia family. Your Majesty, you might as well meet him and talk to him. Maybe you can collect rocks from other mountains and attack them." The power of jade.”

When King Zhongshun heard this, a strange color flashed across his old face. His expression paused slightly and his eyes flashed. He felt that this was reasonable and said, "Then let him go to the study to wait for me."

Zhou Changshi did not leave the attic for a while. He cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, I have something to report to you."

"What's the matter?" King Zhongshun frowned and asked.

Zhou Changshi said: "Your Majesty previously asked your subordinates to send people to keep an eye on the Ningguo Mansion, so they sent people to keep an eye on it. Recently, the people below discovered something interesting."

In fact, King Zhongshun and Zhou Changshi stopped doing business almost every day and just stared at the Ningrong Mansion, looking for mistakes.

"What's interesting?" King Zhongshun unconsciously pushed aside the concubines and sat upright, with a look of anticipation on his face.

Zhou Changshi lowered his voice and said: "Do you still remember Suzhou Weaving Changjin?"

"Chang Jin?"

King Zhongshun twisted his beard with his hand. A look of recollection appeared on his face at first, and then a look of unnaturalness appeared on his face. He sneered: "Why don't you remember? This man was in charge of the Suzhou Weaving Bureau. He relied on the fact that both his father and his son were servants of the emperor. He was quite arrogant and rude. Later, he was involved in the rebellion of the remnants of the ruthless prince by me. Now, if the three clans have not been implicated for a long time and his family has been destroyed, why does Zhou Changshi still mention him?"

At that time, King Zhongshun was in charge of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and on behalf of Emperor Chongping, he went south to inspect the three major weaving houses. When he went to Suzhou, he happened to meet Chang Jin's wife, the daughter of a famous banker in the south of the Yangtze River. heart of.

Later, King Zhongshun used a series of tricks to implicate Chang Jin in the rebellion case of the deposed prince's remnants of the party, and organized a prison for the then Chongping Emperor and took him in.

"Although Chang Jin was involved in a rebellion back then, there was still an orphan girl named Miaoyu who was fostered in a temple. Because the government didn't know about it, she managed to survive. Later, she followed his teacher to Muni Yuan to the west of Shenjing to register. Now she is here

Hidden in the Ningguo Mansion." Zhou Changshi's eyes flashed coldly and he whispered.

It's not just Jia Heng who is investigating Prince Zhongshun's palace, looking for opportunities to strike a fatal blow.

King Zhongshun and Zhou Changshi also mobilized all hidden intelligence forces to investigate the situation in Jia Heng's house.

As for the eldest princess of Jinyang, due to the age difference, Li Chanyue was also covering up outside. For a while, no suspicion arose.

However, the Ningguo Mansion where Jia Heng lived fell into the eyes of Prince Zhongshun and was originally the top priority for surveillance.

After discovering that people from outside the country like Miaoyu with unknown origins were lingering around, Zhou Changshi investigated and found out some tricks.

"This? Is this happening?" King Zhongshun heard this, his eyes were gloomy and uncertain, and he said coldly: "This Jia Heng son is so brave, he dares to harbor the imperial court and rebel against the party!"

Zhou Changshi whispered: "I'm afraid even children don't know."

"Back then, this case was a torture trial between me and the Jinyi Mansion. Tomorrow I will go to sue someone in the Jinyi Mansion for harboring someone who rebelled against the party. I will go to the palace immediately to arrest him. I want to impeach him, a violent prince, for rebelling against the party!" King Zhongshun suddenly stood up and said,

There was a faint evil look on his face, and he said coldly.

Zhou Changshi frowned and reminded in a low voice: "Did the prince forget that Jia Heng holds the title of Commander in Chief?"

King Zhongshun: "..."

He was so angry!

This is also because as Jia Heng has more and more responsibilities, some of them will always be ignored.

Zhou Changshi did not look into the matter in detail, hesitated for a moment, and said: "Your Majesty, this Miaoyu has become a monk. Kuang Sheng has also been quite suspicious of the case with wide implications in recent years. In the eleventh year of Chongping, he still

The ruthless prince is pitiable, and he only offends King Zhao... Even if the prince uses this matter as an excuse, it will be difficult to shake Jia Heng's son. On the contrary, there was a case that year, in which the prince was involved..."

Later, it turned out that Suzhou Weaving Chang Jin was involved in the so-called conspiracy case, which was basically an unjust case. King Zhongshun took advantage of the fight between the original emperor and the Supreme Emperor, and even forged letters as evidence of the conspiracy.

Once the truth is revealed, Emperor Chongping may have some bad memories.

In recent years, as Emperor Chongping has secured his position, he is no longer as suspicious and murderous as he was in the early years of his succession. Instead, he has begun to pay attention to holiness. For example, Cui Ling, who was more than ten years ago, did not engage in mass killings.

almost impossible.

King Zhongshun's eyes flashed coldly, and he felt a little wary. He said, "I just want to disgust him. Last time, he took advantage of the Jinyi Mansion and the Wucheng Army and Horses Department sent people to disgust me. Tomorrow you send the Shenxing Department."

The executioner will first go to Ning Guo's house to question him. If he wants to be bailed out, he will be used as a handle in the future!"

Although Zhou Changshi was dissatisfied with this vindictive method, he agreed: "Your Majesty, tomorrow I will send a criminal officer from the Shenxing Department to interrogate, just in case I want to use the Holy Family to retry the case?"

"How dare he!" King Zhongshun became more and more guilty as he spoke, and then said: "If you let people stare, go to Dali Temple to find those archived letters and burn them together. Without those letters, the case will be overturned.

No, no one dares to turn it over!"

Zhou Changshi responded: "Yes, Your Majesty."

"But since this Miaoyu is alive, I don't know how much of the charm of his mother Zhuang..." King Zhongshun frowned and thought to himself.

I vaguely remember that when he was forty years old, he was playing in the alleys of Suzhou with small bridges, flowing water, green tiles and white walls. Suddenly, it rained, and he and a few people took shelter in a temple. The beauty in her early thirties had a beautiful face.

Gentle, soft-spoken, and charming.

"Your Majesty, why don't you meet Jia Yucun first?" Zhou Changshi interrupted King Zhongshun's thoughts in a low voice.

King Zhongshun paused slightly and said coldly: "Bring him in."

Not long after, I saw a servant leading a burly middle-aged man into the attic.

The middle-aged man is wearing a straight green shirt, with a wide mouth, straight nose and cheeks. Although his clothes are simple, he seems to have quite a sense of grace.

However, when he saw King Zhongshun, Jia Yucun's face straightened. He immediately lifted up the hem of his clothes, and with a "pop" sound, he knelt down and worshiped: "Student Jia Hua, thank you so much for your help."

"Get up!" King Zhongshun waved his hand and said calmly. He had seen this scene of servile servants many times, but he didn't feel anything special about it. Then he looked at Zhou Changshi aside and asked, "Sit down."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Jia Yucun cupped his hands and thanked him before sitting down.

King Zhongshun picked up the tea cup on the side and asked, "Why do you want to see me, sir?"

Jia Yucun said: "The student was saved by the prince and was drowned in fire and water. He is well aware of the trouble in the prince's heart. The student has a plan to cure it."

He didn't want to be sent out, now was his promotion step, and it was his hope for revenge.

King Zhongshun looked calm and said noncommittally: "Would you rather tell me what is the trouble that worries me?"

Jia Yucun muttered: "The prince's trouble lies with Rongning's second mansion, and Rongning's second mansion lies with Jia Heng, the lord of Ning Kingdom and the deputy envoy of Jingying Jiedu."

King Zhongshun glanced at Zhou Changshi and said: "A few days ago, I impeached Jia She and his son at the court meeting. No one in Shenjing knew about it. Based on this, Mr. Jia's guess is not wrong."

"The prince has a grudge against the Jia family, and so do the students." Jia Yucun whispered, his face as cold as iron.

Even though this person in the original work "joys with ease and bears the wind and the moon", he also feels resentful and violent because of Jia Heng's "righteousness to destroy relatives".

"Sir, you were originally a guest of the Jia family, why would you say this now?" King Zhongshun chuckled, his face full of ridicule.

Jia Yucun cupped his hands and said: "The student was confused for a while, and he kept his eyes open for the Jia family and did evil. Now he has lost his official position due to his crime. There is no one to complain about. It's just that Jia Heng's son repaid his kindness with revenge. It's really hateful. The student is about to find out."

He wants justice!"

"Tell me about it?" King Zhongshun waved and asked several concubines to gather around and help rub their shoulders. It was obvious that he didn't care much about Jia Yucun.

Jia Yucun said: "The sages said that those who have attained the Dao will receive many help, while those who have lost the Dao will receive little help."

At this point, he observed King Zhongshun's expression and saw that he was disapproving, so he turned to continue: "Your Majesty, now this Jia Heng son, he does not know the heights of the world and wants to be a lonely minister. In this court, he not only offended the prince

, he also offended the King of Qi, the King of Chu, Yang Xiang and others, and made many enemies. Even if he is made of iron, he can't drive a few nails in!"

After Jia Yucun was released in the past few days, he was living leisurely in the capital. Through Leng Zixing, the son-in-law of Zhou Rui's family, he learned some news, such as the King of Chu's marriage proposal being rejected by Jia Heng.

When King Zhongshun heard this, he became interested, "It's better to offend King Qi's nephew, but what on earth is going on with King Chu?"

Zhou Changshi said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, I forgot. Concubine Wu also said the day before yesterday that Concubine Zhen of the Prince of Chu's family complained once, saying that His Highness the Prince of Chu wanted to have Jia Zheng's eldest daughter as a concubine, but she was rejected by Jia Heng's words.

It’s very domineering and rude.”

"Oh, there is such a thing." King Zhongshun nodded, twirling his beard with his hand, but he vaguely felt that something was wrong?

King Zhongshun pondered for a moment, then looked at Jia Yucun and said: "You don't know something. Jia Heng is now being placed in high hopes by the Holy One. Unless he is accused of treason, well, the Holy One will not believe it. Anyway, he is in the limelight now."

.”

"My lord, there are two different things between not being able to touch him and letting him live a good life." Jia Yucun said in a low voice with an aggressive look under his eyebrows.

King Zhongshun's face condensed slightly and he said: "Is this what you said again?"

Jia Yucun said: "My lord, now we should unite together, the two princes of Chu, and Prime Minister Yang, to share their knowledge and experience in dealing with Ning Guo. It is said that people use words to make gold and destroy bones."

In short, Jia Heng cannot be treated easily.

When King Zhongshun heard this, his face showed thoughtfulness, and he felt that it was reasonable, and said: "What you said is true. Tomorrow, Jia She and his son will be exiled. Sir, you can accompany me to see the excitement."

Jia Yucun looked embarrassed. After all, he had recommended it to the Jia family. At this time, he was obviously suspected of being a joke. However, after a moment, he realized that this was a testimonial. He secretly gritted his teeth and said: "Your Majesty, student

It is better to obey orders than to be respectful."
