Chapter 544 King Wei: Is the fourth uncle also in Henan?
In the afternoon, Prince Wei’s Mansion
Under the guidance of King Wei, Jia Heng entered the mansion. At this moment, some congratulatory officials in the front hall who were to be led across the courtyard to have lunch mostly looked curiously at the tall and tall young man in a python suit.
Listening to their companions describing who the visitor was, everyone was shocked.
How could Jia Heng, who was the military minister of the dynasty and the deputy envoy of the Jingying Festival, not know this?
But this important minister also came to celebrate the move of King Wei?
However, after a second thought, I felt that it was normal. Regardless of the fact that His Highness the King of Wei was asking questions at the Five Cities Military and Horse Division that he had mentioned, it was such a grand occasion that it was not surprising that such important officials from the court came to celebrate.
Jia Heng followed King Wei as he walked into the house, and at a glance he saw the figure who was about to cross the courtyard. He was a young man wearing the robe of a sixth-grade military attache. He called out: "Cousin."
"Brother Heng." Dong Qian was called, turned around and looked, stunned for a moment, then smiled and said: "You are here too."
Wei Wang Chen Ran smiled and explained: "Zi Yu, several brothers from the Wucheng Army and Horse Division heard that I moved to my new home, and they also came to celebrate. Deputy Commander Dong, Commander Shen, and Commander Yan are all here."
At this time, Dong Qian called out across the courtyard, and Shen Yan, Yan Li and other generals from the Five Cities Military and Horse Division gathered around him, as well as Fa Cao Gao Yinian, Cang Cao Lu Qing and other civil servants.
Jia Heng nodded, looked at Dong Qian who was smiling, and asked in surprise: "Why don't you see Mr. Fan?"
"Mr. Fan said he had inconvenience in his legs and feet, so he didn't come here." Dong Qian said with a smile.
Jia Heng's eyes flashed and his heart moved slightly.
He vaguely had Fan Yi's thoughts, indicating that he was not in agreement with King Wei and others because of his different human nature. In addition, because of such an occasion, his legs were inconvenient and he was easily looked at by some strange eyes.
As for Dong Qian, he was his cousin, so he didn't have much scruples. As for the generals of the Five Cities Military and Horse Division, such as Shen Yan, there might be some thoughts of clinging to the King of Wei, which is understandable.
When the King of Wei went to the Wucheng Army and Horse Division to serve as a meritorious officer, he would definitely win over the generals of the Wucheng Army and Horse Division, cultivate party members, and win over the generals. He also acquiesced at the beginning.
"Everyone, please sit down and eat and drink." Jia Heng looked at the generals and civil servants of the Five Cities Army and Horses Division, and said loudly.
Everyone responded with a smile.
With a smile on his face, King Wei extended his hand to invite him: "Ziyu, go to the second hall to talk."
The chief minister of the Wei Palace has not yet been selected. Now there is a banquet in the palace. They are greeted by a high-ranking female official sent by the Queen of Song Dynasty, and then led to the backyard to be received by Song Jing's wife.
In addition, Xia Shouzhong, the general manager of the Sixth Palace, and his uncle Song Jing were sent to greet the officials who came to congratulate him.
As for the prominent and important officials in the court, Wei Wang Chen Ran and Song Jing, as well as their uncle and nephew, personally greeted them.
Everyone was chatting and just sat down in the hall when a stewardess came in and said: "Your Majesty, Princess Chu, Princess Qi, and Princess Beijing, come here to congratulate me."
King Chen Ran of Wei looked at Jia Heng and said, "Ziyu will sit down first, and my sixth brother will follow me to greet the Wangsao."
Liang Wang Chen Wei stood up and responded.
Seeing that Princess Xianning was about to get up to greet her, King Chen Ran of Wei smiled and said: "Fifth sister and Chanyue sister, just accompany the gentleman to talk."
Princess Xianning nodded and said, "Brother King Wei, let's go. I will go to the backyard to talk to the two sisters-in-law later."
At this time, there were only three people left in the second inner hall: Jia Heng, Li Chanyue and Princess Xianning, as well as the maid and nanny.
Li Chanyue asked with a smile: "Sister Xianning, I told you to go to Xishan last time. When will we go there?"
Princess Xianning smiled and said: "It won't be too late to go after a while."
She had made an appointment with her husband. If there was no news about the war in Henan, she and her husband would go to the Xishan Villa to see the peach blossoms.
"Then I can only go and see it with my mother." Li Chanyue said, then looked at Jia Heng aside and said, "Mr. Jia, are you free recently?"
Jia Heng shook his head and said: "I have been busy with matters in the capital camp recently and have no time. Why, the little princess wants to invite me to go with you?"
Li Chanyue blinked her bright eyes and said, "Yeah, what's wrong?"
"I've been very busy lately, so I'm afraid I won't be able to make the trip." Jia Heng said softly.
Recently, he not only wants to send people to inspect the situation in Henan, but also organizes a counter-insurgency army in the name of training.
"Are you so busy? Mr. Jia is not very good at taking a break from his busy schedule." Li Chanyue said softly.
Jia Heng smiled, picked up the tea cup on the small table, lowered his head and took a sip.
While several people were talking, King Chen Ran of Wei left and came back, saying with a smile: "It's already noon, I guess you're hungry. Let's pass on the meal."
Liang Wang Chen Wei looked at Jia Heng with a sneer on his lips.
Because his brother had repeatedly told him not to be rude to Jia Ziyu, even though he couldn't stand his frivolous and arrogant appearance, he couldn't say anything to his face.
Jia Heng had lunch with the King of Wei. After eating, he held his hands and said: "Your Highness, the King of Wei, I have to go to the capital camp to supervise the army. I'll excuse you now."
"Sir, let's go to the capital camp together." Princess Xianning said softly.
The King of Wei swallowed back the words that came to his lips, "Gu Ye, let's go together to see my great army." He smiled and said, "Fifth sister is best at martial arts. It's good to go to the capital camp to gain knowledge, and it's better to come back."
Let’s talk about it for my brother.”
When more of his fifth sisters went there, it would be logical for him to go to Beijing to look for her.
Princess Xianning pursed her pink lips, a light blush on her cheeks, and said, "I just went to take a look."
Jia Heng answered: "I promised Your Highness for a long time, and now I just want to go together."
With that said, he and Princess Xianning left the inner hall and headed to the capital camp.
In the palace of Prince Wei, in a three-story attic with cornices and brackets, Prince Chen Ran of Wei leaned on the railing and watched the two people getting on the carriage across a dense sycamore tree.
"Uncle, I saw that Fifth Sister and Jia Ziyu were very close, and there are some rumors in the palace." King Wei suddenly said.
Although the palace servants who spread rumors in the palace were punished by Empress Song and Concubine Duanrong, King Wei still heard the rumors about his fifth sister.
Song Jing muttered: "Your Highness, Jia Ziyu already has a family, and the matter in Xianning is a bit difficult to deal with. Unless Jia Ziyu has made great achievements, then the Holy Spirit will grant him a marriage, so that Yuyou's mouth can be stopped."
"Xianning still has deep feelings for Gu." King Wei said in a low voice.
Song Jing said: "Now, we can only wait and see what happens."
"Uncle, I heard that the matter with the Ministry of Internal Affairs last time was stuck with Aunt Jinyang?" Wei Wang Chen Ran suddenly asked.
When mentioning the eldest princess of Jinyang, Song Jing's face turned gloomy and she said in a complex tone: "The House of Internal Affairs is a good place, but it's a pity."
Although he has now been transferred to the Ministry of Industry’s Data Estimation Office, which is not bad, it is still inferior to that of the Kuaiji Department of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
"The House of Internal Affairs is in charge of the royal family's property, even if it's just a little bit leaky... Uncle, does he know that not long ago, my father seized several million worth of property from the Zhongshun Prince's Palace?" Wei Wang Chen Ran whispered.
road.
Song Jing said: "I have heard that I am afraid that I will have to pay one to twenty million taels of property. Recently, the Ministry of Internal Affairs has been checking the properties of Prince Zhongshun in various provinces."
"I didn't expect there to be so much, which is equivalent to the Han Dynasty's tax for a year." King Wei said with emotion, turned around and sat down in front of a small table, and said: "It's good to be at home for a thousand days, but it's difficult to go out for one day, and it's only when you go out to open the mansion that you can know everything.
It’s difficult.”
If my uncle were in charge of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, he would not be so stretched even if he withheld one to two million taels every year.
No wonder the queen mother looked unhappy when she mentioned Aunt Jinyang's "impediment" the day before yesterday.
"The most urgent thing is that His Highness still has to lead some errands to make a living." Song Jing whispered, and sat down on the bamboo chair opposite Wei Wang Chen Ran.
Wei Wang Chen Ran nodded and said: "I originally wanted to stay in the Five Cities Military and Horse Division for a year and see if I could replace my people with the tax collectors in the east and west cities. I just don't know what Jia Ziyu thinks."
The commercial taxes of the east and west cities are paid by the Wucheng Military and Horse Division and handed over to the General Taxation Department of the Wucheng Military and Horse Division.
Song Jing nodded and said: "Jia Ziyu is a smart man. Since he has given the position of meritorious service to His Highness, he will observe its achievements silently and will not interfere. Your Highness, you see that Jia Ziyu usually travels between Beijing Camp, Jinyi Mansion, and the Five Cities."
There are too many stops in the Army and Horse Division. He is now leading so many errands. If he takes power in everything, he will easily be jealous."
King Wei Chen Ran said in a tone full of envy: "Yes, he has the power both internally and externally. My father really trusts him."
At this moment, the sound of official boots squeaking on the stairs was heard from the attic, and what came into Chen Ran and Song Jing's eyes was a fair-skinned young man in a python suit with slightly sinister eyebrows.
"Third brother, uncle."
King Wei looked at Liang King Chen Wei and asked in confusion: "Why is the sixth brother looking so hasty?"
King Liang said with a happy face: "Third brother, do you know what I heard?"
"What?"
The King of Liang smiled happily: "Third brother, I heard from the officials who went to the palace gate that Jia Heng beat Liu Fang of the Duke Li's family, and the eldest son of the Wang family of Xining County. The official of the Department of Justice is impeaching Jia for this matter.
Heng."
Hearing this, Song Jing put down the teacup in his hand, frowned and asked, "Why did Jia Ziyu hit the two of them?"
Because he had been helping King Wei welcome guests in the morning, he didn't know about the dispute between Jia Heng, Jin and Liu.
Liang Wang Chen Wei told everything he had seen before, saying: "However, my father did not blame him. Instead, he reprimanded Jin and Liu for being arrogant and rude to the military and aircraft ministers and for governing the country."
He was also fined a salary."
Wei Wang Chen Ran frowned, turned his questioning eyes to Song Yuan, and asked doubtfully: "What does uncle think?"
"The dispute over national affairs at the military aircraft office is nothing. It's just what Jia Ziyu mentioned at the military aircraft office that caused this dispute." Song Jing frowned, her elegant and fair face showed a look of thought.
Liang Wang Chen Wei seemed to be smiling but not smiling, and said: "I heard that he was going to lead the capital camp to Henan to prepare for the invaders. Jia Heng also said that the official army of the Henan Dusi who went to Runing Prefecture to suppress the invaders was defeated, and the rebel army may sweep through the prefectures and counties of Henan.
, even broke the Kaifeng Mansion and proposed that the capital camp transfer troops to Luo to guard against the bandit rebellion."
At this moment, with the passage of time, or with the help of thoughtful people, most officials in Shenjing City have learned some details and are discussing Jia Heng's deduction.
King Wei's expression changed slightly, he thought for a moment, and said in a deep voice: "Uncle, there is chaos in Henan? Is this a bit alarmist?"
Song Jing frowned, his eyes flickered, and asked: "Did Jia Ziyu say this because he got military reports from Henan?"
"Where can there be any military reports? I heard that everything is just a dream of Jia Heng!" Liang Wang Chen Wei said, suddenly seeing his brother Wei Wang glare at him, he quickly restrained his ridicule and said: "This Jia Heng
Heng Xiaoer said that the Henan official army was vulnerable, and the rebel army might take advantage of the emptiness in Kaifeng to break the Henan government."
"This..." King Wei paused for a moment at the tea cup he had just picked up, and looked at each other with his uncle Song Jing.
"Third brother, you also find it unbelievable, don't you?" Liang Wang Chen Wei sneered and said: "The cabinet ministers, the Minister of Military Aircraft, Mr. Shi, and the military aircraft driver all find it unbelievable, otherwise they would all call him a child talking in his sleep."
King Liang said and sneered: "I heard that no one from the Military Aircraft Department agreed. This time Jia Ziyu was embarrassed. The Liguo Gong family and the Wang family of Xining County didn't deal with Jia Heng. I guess most of them laughed at him.
After a few words, Jia Ziyu was furious and became angry. He relied on the authority of the Jinyi Governor to beat the two of them. This was also relying on his father's favor and trust. He did such a reckless thing. The third brother just waits. I'm afraid he will not be able to do it in the next few days.
There have been quite a few turmoils.”
King Chen Ran of Wei looked solemn and speechless for a moment, while Song Jing was also thinking about the pros and cons.
Liang Wang Chen Wei said: "Third brother, do you want to visit the Liguo family and the Wang family of Xining County? One of these two families is in the Fifth Army Governor's Mansion, and the other is in the northwest..."
King Wei Chen Ran hesitated for a moment, looked at his uncle, shook his head and said, "Forget it, just send the steward to visit."
These few people are naturally not comparable to Jia Ziyu, who is in charge of Jingying and Jinyi Mansion. Moreover, without the acquiescence of his father, he is also a little scared.
Song Jing held the tea cup, took a sip, and whispered: "Why did Jia Ziyu make such an inference? Even if the Henan army fails to help, it will not..."
"Who knows, he really thinks he is a god. He can predict the future by just counting." Liang Wang Chen Wei also picked up the teapot, poured a cup, and said with a chuckle.
Wei Wang Chen Ran thought for a while and suddenly asked: "Uncle, is the fourth uncle now a county magistrate in Henan?"
Song Jing said: "I am the magistrate of Xiangfu County under the rule of Kaifeng Prefecture. I am about to complete my term again. If I have to move according to my rank, this time the capital inspection plan should move at least one tongzhi or magistrate. Speaking of which,
, he originally served as county magistrate, but he has served two terms now."
Unlike Song Jing, who had no fame and could only serve as a sixth-grade priest in Honglu Temple, Song Xuan, the fourth son of the Song family, was born in a serious family.
Wei King Chen Ran asked: "My fourth uncle, two Jinshi scholars, moved to two counties. Why is his promotion so slow?"
If his fourth uncle could come to help, I think he would also have a right-hand man.
Song Jing sighed and said: "Who allowed him to have a sister who is a queen and a sister who is a concubine."
There are four siblings of the Empress of Song. Empress Song is the eldest sister of the Song family, Concubine Duanrong is the second sister of the Song family, Song Jing is the third eldest, and Song Xuan is the fourth eldest.
Song Xuan is much younger than her sisters and brothers who are already in their early thirties. She is only in her mid-twenties. She was awarded the second-level Jinshi at the age of twenty. She is regarded as the academic seed of the Song family, but because she has a queen
, the sister of a noble concubine will inevitably receive more attention, but it will affect her career. Instead of being elected to the Hanlin Academy as a concubine, she went to another place.
Emperor Chongping even sent Song Xuan as the magistrate of the selected county. Later, due to his outstanding political performance and excellent evaluation, under the strong recommendation of the Ministry of Personnel, Emperor Chongping finally gave in and transferred him to Xiangfu County, Kaifeng Prefecture.
Now that he has served two terms of rank, he will be promoted faster if he goes up higher, and he may become a co-president, a magistrate, or even a prefecture magistrate.
Wei Wang Chen Ran suddenly remembered something and frowned: "Uncle, I just heard from my sixth brother that according to Jia Ziyu's deduction, if the army of Runing Mansion is defeated, the road to Kaifeng Mansion will be smooth for the bandits. My uncle is in Xiangfu County,
Isn’t it under a dangerous wall?”
Liang Wang Chen Wei frowned and said: "Third brother, listen to that Jia Heng's nonsense! Those are his false threats. I have inquired about it. Henan Dusi's official army has sent several guards and 10,000 to 20,000 troops to ensure that nothing goes wrong.
! Jia Heng was talking to himself there. There were so many people in the Military Aircraft Department and the Cabinet, but no one believed him. Even my father, who favored him so much, didn’t believe his nonsense."
Wei Wang Chen Ran put down the tea cup, with a solemn expression on his face, and said slowly: "Jia Ziyu seemed to have predicted that there would be chaos in the capital camp. When Prince Teng's army was in chaos, Jia Ziyu had predicted it in advance and decisively sent troops to suppress it."
Because he spent a lot of time in the Wucheng Army and Horse Division, Wei Wang Chen Ran, as a "dog licker", knew some of Jia Heng's deeds very well.
Song Jing answered: "At the beginning, he seemed to have used the eyes and ears of Jinyi Mansion to investigate the matter. Jinyi Mansion has eyes and ears all over Shenjing, and I am afraid that it is beyond the reach of the local whip."
Liang Wang Chen Wei picked up the tea cup, took a sip and said, "What my uncle said is that he is nothing after leaving Jinyi Mansion."
King Wei Chen Ran thought for a while, frowned, and murmured: "A provincial government governs and is heavily guarded. I worry too much."
Then, he looked at Liang Wang Chen Wei and said seriously: "Sixth brother, don't take it too seriously against Jia Ziyu."
Liang Wang Chen Wei defended himself and said: "Brother Wang, I didn't target him. You see how much my father favors him. My fifth sister also gave me a lot of shame for him. I didn't even know he had
What kind of skills are there? If he hadn't followed my aunt's path and met my father, he would still be nesting in Liuzhuo'er Alley, but now he has become more majestic, and even looks cold and arrogant in front of you."
Song Jing shook his head and said in a deep voice: "You can't say that, Jia Ziyu is still capable."
"It's just a matter of fooling my father." Liang Wang Chen Wei said.
Wei Wang Chen Ran said angrily: "What nonsense are you talking about? How can my father, the Emperor, be so wise and wise as to allow incompetent people to fool me?"
Liang Wang Chen Wei pursed his lips, stretched out his hand, and said: "Okay, just obey him. After a few days, the Henan Army reports and his face is swollen."
That's why he looked bored.
The fifth sister is helping Jia Heng, and she can still say that women are not good at staying in the university, but the third brother is also protecting her in this way. Do you really think that someone with high military skills will help you enter the East Palace?
What about dreaming?
They are hanging on to you!
In fact, licking a dog will not wake it up. On the contrary, the brother who is watching Qing hates that iron cannot become steel.
Not to mention that the king of Wei and the king of Liang are brothers and brothers.
But it was said that Princess Chu Zhen Qing and Princess Beijing Zhen Xue came to the backyard accompanied by their mothers and maids, and were received by Song Jing's wife Shen. As the aunt of Wei Wang Chen Ran, although her status was only the sixth-grade imperial concubine.
, but still the elder of Princess Chu.
Zhen Qing looked at Song Yan, who was aside. She was a twelve-year-old girl, wearing a light yellow dress, with broken bangs, two earrings in her earlobes, slender eyebrows, bright eyes, and a white face.
With an oval face like snow and soft and quiet facial features, she looks a little like Empress Song.
Zhen Qing looked at Song Yan and said with a smile: "Auntie, Yan'er is so big at first glance, has she ever made a promise to someone else?"
According to etiquette, Princess Chu wants to call Empress Song as her mother, so Empress Song's younger siblings are naturally Zhen Qing's aunts.
"Not yet." Song Jing's wife, Mrs. Shen, smiled and said, "It's not in a hurry. I haven't reached the age of hairpin yet."
In fact, she fell in love with her nephew Chen Wei, King of Liang. When King Chen Wei of Liang opened his palace in the next year, her daughter happened to be older, so they got married.
Zhen Qing smiled and said: "It's because the one in my family is too young, otherwise such a good character would have to be established."
Princess Zhen Xue of Beijing listened and pinched her handkerchief.
She secretly thought that her sister had previously said that she wanted to get closer to her Xin'er, but she knew that this was just to please others.
However, even Zhen Xue, who is a compatriot, doesn't know that what her sister Zhen Qing is thinking about is that her son will be the prince in the future. Isn't it normal to have a group of concubines and heirs?
When Song Yanfang heard the mention of her marriage, she felt a little ashamed and lowered her head. The little girl's cheeks, as white as snow, were stained with a layer of crimson.
At this time, Shui Xin, the daughter of Princess Zhen Xue of Beijing, was turning over the flower rope, and Nuo Nuo asked: "Sister, why are you blushing?"
Song Yan: "???"
When Song Yan heard this, she couldn't help but reached out and pinched Shui Xin's pink cheeks, and said softly: "Sister, help you turn the flower rope."
Shen asked again: "Why don't you see King Chu today?"
Zhen Qing smiled and said: "Didn't he just take over the task of supervising the construction of the imperial mausoleum? He is busy every day without touching the ground. He has been running to Weinan County for the past few days and does not live much at home. Sister-in-law and eldest brother are also
Went to Gongling?"
While speaking, a pair of narrow, crystal-clear eyes looked at Xiang, who was not far away, wearing an aqua dress and a green bun with clouds. The beauty smiled lightly, watching Zhen talking to Princess Zhen Qing of Chu, quietly.
listen.
At this time, Wen Ting inquired and said: "Your Majesty, he said that his errands are urgent, so he doesn't dare to delay. Recently, he has been staying at the governor's office near Gongling. He will be able to relax after the various affairs over Gongling begin."
Compared to Zhen Qing, who has a strong temperament, has a smooth smile and a clear voice, Xiang's face is like a small moon, her eyebrows are gentle, she looks like a jade from a small family, her voice is soft and waxy, which is slightly in contrast to her sister-in-law's identity.
Zhen Qing's jade face was faint, and a cold light flashed in her eyes, and she said: "It's all thanks to those officials from the Ministry of Industry. They tampered with everything. They even dared to move Gongling. They are so bold and lawless."
Shen asked curiously: "During the past few days, Jinyi Mansion arrested many officials, and many people from the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Internal Affairs were sent to prison?"
At the end of the sentence, there was a look of lingering fear on his face.
When she was a child, she heard from her family that the prison was a disaster, and it was really terrible.
Princess Zhen Xue of Beijing said softly: "We are still searching our homes these days. Many of the convicts' nearby residences have been sealed off by the Jinyi Mansion. People from the Ministry of Internal Affairs are following them to count their belongings."
Shen said with emotion: "I heard from my master that a lot of property was confiscated from the homes of these prisoners, which is more than the national treasury spends in a year."
"But I copied a lot of good items. Some of them are being sold in the East and West markets right now. I've been thinking about sending someone to buy two of them in the past two days." Zhen Qing said with a smile, and then glanced at Qi Qi.
Princess Xiang asked, "Sister-in-law, when will we go pick out two items?"
This was meant to hurt the Xiang family, because when the King of Qi was deposed as a county prince, he had to replenish the profits he received from the Sanhe Gang and sold many items from his home.
Xiang's bright eyes narrowed, and she smiled softly and said: "Your Majesty, he doesn't like this. If you have ancient books, calligraphy and paintings, I would like to pick a few pieces and let Your Majesty cultivate your temperament."
Obviously, this Mr. Xiang is not stupid. Although he is Xiaojiabiyu, he hides his secrets and remains calm.
Zhen Qing smiled and said with emotion: "That's such a pity."
She felt cold in her heart. This was the opposite of what she said. She didn't know what kind of character King Qi was? He was greedy for money and lived a luxurious life.
Her prince is the only one who is interested in these antique calligraphy and paintings, and he is trying to retaliate against her.
Zhen Xue vaguely listened to some unanswered questions and just frowned.
A bunch of women gathered in the back house, talking not only about their children but also about their men's official affairs outside the home.
While several people were talking, a nun walked around the screen and said, "Princess, madam, Princess Nan'an is here."
Mrs. Shen also took the opportunity to change the subject, smiled and said, "I think it's time for the old concubine to come over."
Because the granddaughter of Princess Nan'an was recently canonized as the royal concubine of the King of Wei by the emperor, the Prince of Nan'an County also got married to the King of Wei. Now that the King of Wei has moved to a new residence, the King of Nan'an County has been ordered to go to the capital to inspect the border, so Princess Nan'an
It's impossible not to come over.
Moreover, the wedding day has been discussed recently. After all, it is Empress Motoko, and the feudal king is marrying his concubine, so a grand and warm ceremony must be held.
While talking, Princess Nan'an entered the hall with all the nuns, but what surprised Zhen Qing and Zhen Xue was that in addition to Luo Shi, the princess of Nan'an County who came with her, there were also Xu Shi, the mother of Zhenguo Niu's successor, and
Niu Jizong's wife, the Chu family.
It turned out that Mrs. Xu, the wife of Duke Zhenguo, went to the Duke Li's Mansion to visit Liu Fang, met Princess Nan'an, had lunch at Liu's house, and followed Princess Nan'an of Li to express the joy of Prince Wei's move.
Of course, they also wanted to cling to the King of Wei, and Wu Xun, represented by Nan'an and Beijing, surrendered to the emperor. Even the prince of Nan'an County became in-laws with Emperor Chongping, and the Duke of Zhen Guo and the Duke of Jian Guo also changed their tune.
As for the Luo family, the princess of Nan'an County died young. The Luo family was raised by the concubine two years ago, and the daughter she gave birth to was promised to King Wei Chen Ran. In terms of birth, the King of Wei was born first as a concubine and then as a direct descendant, which is similar to the life experience of Princess Wei.
.
The Prince of Nan'an County entered the hall, and all the women left after chatting.
Zhen Qing smiled and said: "Old concubine, I just listened to the magpies chirping in the treetops, but you are here. Why did you come so late? We have already had lunch."
The smile on Princess Nan'an's face faded a bit, and she said: "At noon, I first went to the Liu family and the Jin family. Something happened between them. Liu Fang's nephew and the young prince of the Jin family asked Ning Guo
Uncle Heng of the government gave him dozens of canes and asked the imperial doctor to diagnose and treat him."
When Zhen Qing heard this, her heart trembled slightly, her clear eyes flashed, and she asked, "What do you mean?"
Zhen Xue also curiously raised her gentle jade face, her beautiful eyes looked at Princess Nan'an with soft waves, and asked: "What is going on? Why are you still taking action in the palace?"
Although it was previously said that her sister Zhen Qing always pays attention to Ning Guo's Uncle Heng, Zhen Xue also became a little curious after hearing and seeing him.
Mrs. Shen on the side also looked at Princess Nan'an, waiting for her words.
His daughter Song Yan put down the flower rope in her hand, raised a pretty face that looked like Queen Song, and looked over.
Princess Nan'an sat down and said: "Uncle Heng from Jia's East Mansion once became powerful, a villain succeeded, and his relatives disowned him. Needless to say, what happened at the Ministry of Works not long ago, now Mr. Li Guo's family
, from the Wang family of Xining County, he was offended because of his dissent."
In the Ministry of Industry case yesterday, Concubine Nan'an went to Rongguo Mansion to plead for mercy, but she lost face. Today, when she went to Liguo Mansion and talked with her, she learned that Mrs. Liguo's wife, Sun, was similar, and she found resonance.
Niu Jizong's wife, Mrs. Chu, said: "What the old concubine is talking about is the one from Ningguo Mansion. Why do you say that? In terms of meritorious service, there are countless meritorious deeds. Right now, he is a first-class man. Now he is saying that my master is going to go."
The Runing Mansion will definitely be defeated, isn't this a curse to cause trouble to my master?"
Mrs. Xu, the wife of the Duke of Zhenguo, said: "I heard that this person was originally a commoner. Such a poor person suddenly became rich. When he suddenly gained power, he didn't know how to get better. He has an extreme temperament."
"What the old lady said is reasonable. People say that three generations cannot raise a nobleman. For these common people who were originally beyond the reach of the Duke's government and suddenly gained power, they are extremely frivolous." Princess Nan'an
Dian nodded and said.
Xu Shi, the wife of Duke Zhenguo, said: "But now it seems that the favored one in the palace is giving something. When we went to visit the Liu family's nephew, we heard that the palace also fined Liu Fang's nephew's salary. Isn't this just a bias?"
"You can't say this like that." Mrs. Shen frowned, stopped her resentful words, and thought secretly, Mrs. Niu's wife is so clueless, can she say such nonsense?
Mrs. Xu also felt that she had made a mistake and said quickly: "That's not what I meant. In other words, I am too fond of you. Today's young people don't know how to be generous. Mrs. Rongguo is also a tolerant person and doesn't care much about him."
When she said those words just now, it was because of Shen's wind that she blew them into the ears of the person in Kunning Palace.
"This old sister from the Jia family is also in trouble and is not easy to manage." At this time, Princess Nan'an continued and whispered: "This concubine has gained the upper hand. I heard that she was almost out of the fifth server.
After entering the Ning Mansion, the elder sister of the Jia family must have been bullied by him."
Luo Shi, wife of Princess Nan'an, answered: "I heard from the Wang family's daughter-in-law that this Uncle Heng is like a tyrant at home. He scolds whoever he wants. He even takes care of the marriage of the girl from Xifu."
As he said that, he raised his eyes and looked at Princess Chu Zhen Qing and said: "Concubine Zhen, it seems that this happened last time, Prince Chu..."
Princess Chu Zhen Qing was noncommittal and said with a faint smile: "I don't know about this."
Concubine Nan'an put her hand under the table and tugged on her daughter-in-law's sleeve.
Luo Shi laughed quickly and said: "I remembered it wrong. It seems that the Wang family's daughter-in-law proposed marriage to the eldest daughter of the second house in Rongguo Mansion, and said she was the Datong General. However, this uncle Heng rejected her and said that this Rongguo Mansion is here.
The eldest daughter of the country's second wife is also very pitiful, she is already in her twenties."
These words are of course an attempt to make amends, but if they fail to make amends, they start to talk about right and wrong and divert the target of harm.
Zhen Xue listened on the side, glanced at Luo Shi, and even felt a sense of disgust in her heart.
The second young lady of the Zhen family was considered a close friend of Yuan Chun back then.
Concubine Nan'an shook her head and said: "It's not easy for the old sister of the Jia family. Not long ago, something happened in Rongguo Mansion. The father and son were exiled to Guizhou, and even the title of Rongguo was lost. How many old sisters of the Jia family should I have?"
It’s uncomfortable, the Dongfu is getting more and more powerful, and that’s why this incident happened.”
Mrs. Xu, the Duke of Zhenguo, said: "This is the truth. It is unbearable to see a concubine insulting a direct descendant."
Zhen Qing's eyes were slightly cold. What does it mean to treat a concubine as a concubine? You must know that your father is also a concubine, and his husband is also a concubine. What happened to the concubine?
Concubine Nan'an, Concubine Xu of Zhenguo, and several other people seemed to have used the Wei Palace to hold a meeting to criticize Jia Heng.
Mrs. Shen listened to the conversation of several people and smiled and said: "Old concubine, what are you talking about? I don't understand. Which family are you talking about?"
Princess Nan'an said: "???"
Working with her, she lived for half a day in vain, was she busy in vain?
Zhen Xue said softly: "It's Uncle Heng from Ningguo Mansion, but is there any misunderstanding here?"
Song Yan raised her eyes and glanced at her mother, bit her pink lips with her teeth, and thought to herself, her mother said that on purpose, presumably because she didn't want to get involved in these Taoist affairs behind the scenes?
I wonder how Jia Heng of Ningguo Mansion offended so many people?
Zhen Qing's clear eyes flashed, looking at this scene, for some reason she felt like laughing.
Zhen Xue frowned, looked at Princess Nan'an, and sighed in her heart.
This old concubine had a grudge against the Jia family and Uncle Heng because of what happened at the former Ministry of Labor.
Xiang picked up the tea cup on the side, took a sip, said nothing, it was none of his business, and hung up.
Concubine Nan'an looked at Shen and said, "Mrs. Shen doesn't know. What did you think this uncle Heng said during the court meeting today? I heard that the officials in Beijing are impeaching them because of this matter."
Zhen Qing's slender eyebrows condensed, her beautiful eyes flickered, she wanted to impeach?
Mrs. Xu, the Duke of Zhenguo, then said, "What are you doing to impeach him?"
At this moment, the two old witches were singing together, almost teasing and complimenting each other, which is why Zhen Qing found it funny again just now.
"Who will be impeached if you don't impeach him?" Concubine Nan'an said, then looked at Shen and asked: "Mrs. Shen, I remember that Silang of the Song family is now the magistrate of Xiangfu County, Kaifeng Prefecture, right? Look at what he said earlier
What did he say? He said that the army of Runing Prefecture would be defeated and that they would fight all the way to Kaifeng Prefecture and Henan would be in chaos... None of his colleagues in the Military Aircraft Department believed him.
I am an old friend of the Rongguo Mansion, so I wanted to remind him not to be too frivolous. It would be better for him to show off his majesty as the Commander-in-Chief of Imperial Guards and defeat the nephew of the Liu family and the crown prince of Xining County."
When Princess Nan'an said this, she shook her head and said, "Today's young people can do great things if they gain some power."
Mrs. Shen frowned and said, "This..."
Luo Shi answered: "Mrs. Shen, there are probably many memorials to impeach him in the past few days."
Concubine Nan'an looked at Xiang who was sitting quietly and silently, and asked: "Princess Qi, if I remember correctly, it was Jia Heng and Prince Qi who didn't deal with it in the first place?"
Zhen Qing looked at this scene with a gloomy look on her face, and secretly thought, is this a clique to deal with Uncle Heng?
Zhen Xue's daughter Shui Xin put down the flower rope and looked at the people with wide eyes, a bit of curiosity on her pink face.
"Sister Song, who are you talking about?" Shui Xin opened her big, watery eyes and asked Song Yan beside her in a soft voice.
Song Yan pinched Shui Xin's chubby cheeks and said with a sweet smile, "My sister doesn't know anything about adults."
Zhen Qing quickly changed the subject and asked: "Old concubine, aunt, brother Wei Wangdi's good son, what date has been set?"
"It has been preliminarily decided that the end of this month will be an auspicious day for marriage. At that time, all the royal families will come to the palace, and the palace will also hold a ceremony for the canonization of the vassal king." Princess Nan'an said with a smile.
Always talking about the Jia family's affairs is a bit unlucky, but it's also good to talk about happy events.
Zhen Xue sighed with emotion: "That ceremony was really grand."
Mrs. Shen also quickly changed the subject and said, "The Holy One is going to give a banquet to hundreds of officials in Xihe Palace."
Zhen Qing's expression remained unchanged, but there was something strange in her heart.
I remember that when she was canonized as Princess Chu, although there was a royal canonization ceremony, there was no banquet given by the officials, nor was it so lively. After all, there was something different about Queen Yuanzi.
Xiang also squeezed the handkerchief on the side, with his eyes lowered, he clearly had some thoughts in his mind.
Mrs. Zhenguo Gongtai smiled and said: "I guess Mrs. Qin will also come that day. I heard that she is the daughter of a small family. It is probably her first time to see such a big ceremony."
When Jiaheng took Guoyong Camp from Niu Jizong, he was always hated by the Niu family.
While the Prince of Nan'an County just couldn't stand Jia Heng's frivolity, the Niu family almost hated Jia Heng for taking over the Guoyong Camp, and even stopped having contact with the Ning Mansion.
"Now she is no longer a daughter of a small family. She has become a third-rank official this time. The case of the Ministry of Industry will be left to Ning Guo." Concubine Nan'an said, chuckled and said: "It's just that
I'm afraid that in the past few days, many public officials will use this matter to impeach me."
Mrs. Shen looked at this scene, frowned, and thought to himself, it was fine just now, why did it start again?
Zhen Xue pursed her lips, feeling a little helpless.
