Chapter 834 Chen Xiao: The main focus is to turn against the guests, and the offensive and defensive momentum is different.
Ningguo Mansion
The night was deep and the lights were swaying. Jia Heng put down the brush in his hand and raised his eyes to look at Chen Xiao. The young girl did not leave to rest, she just stayed with him.
Xu Shi saw that he was troubled by the assassination of King Chu.
Well, it's like a cat that has made a mistake and always leans on its owner's side.
At this moment, he was holding a book and lighting it up, quietly reading through it, but with an absent-minded look on his face. Sometimes he secretly glanced at Jia Heng, who was writing something.
Jia Heng stood up, came to Chen Xiao, and gently patted the girl's shoulder: "It's late at night, go back and rest early."
Chen Xiao said softly "Hmm" and was about to get up.
"Xiaoxiao." Jia Heng stretched out his hand and gently pulled the girl's slender hand, hugged her waist, and looked at the beautiful and peaceful face, with a trace of panic clearly visible in his bright eyes.
"I'm going back first, eh~" Chen Xiao's heart beat slightly, and he stared at the slightly burning eyes and said softly, but at this moment, he suddenly saw a warm and soft breath hitting his face.
Chen Xiao was about to say something, but the words were blocked in his mouth.
Immediately, the coolness of the mint entered Jia Heng's heart along with a helpless shiver.
Chen Xiao's eyelashes trembled and he closed his eyes. A light blush appeared on his face covered with flowers and trees, and his hands were still at a loss as to where to put them.
She knew that he meant not to blame her. She hadn't told him in advance and didn't know how to tell him.
Just as I was thinking this, I was suddenly startled. It was clearly a strange feeling coming from the front of my clothes.
He quickly stretched out his hand to grab the restless hands that were building a snowman. There was shame and annoyance in his clear and clear eyes, and he breathed slightly and whispered: "You... don't act like this."
The richness between Jia Heng's palms and fingers gently flowed out, and he said warmly: "Well, it's just because you are wearing such thin clothes. It's very cold today. I'll help you warm up."
Compared with Xianning, Chen Xiao, the elder sister, is older.
Hearing this, Chen Xiao looked at the young man angrily under his beautiful eyebrows, stretched out his hand to straighten the messy clothes, and said angrily, "You are used to bullying others, so you always like to use your hands and feet."
Who is helping to warm whom? My hands, which have been writing for a long time, are getting cold.
Jia Heng looked at the beautiful girl with a hint of shame on his face, smiled softly, stretched out his hand to caress the girl's cheek, and said warmly: "Why don't you go back today? It's a little cold outside right now.
Shall we spend the night in the study tonight?"
Perhaps this is the only way Xiaoxiao can completely open her heart to him? Otherwise, some core secrets will always be hidden and hidden from him.
Chen Xiao raised his clear eyes under Liuye's beautiful eyebrows, with a slight blush remaining on his cheeks. His heart was beating hard, and he snorted coldly and said, "Go find your Xianning and Chanyue."
When I came over at noon, I saw three people doing something unknown.
"The two of them had already gone back that night." Jia Heng chuckled lightly, looked at the girl with beautiful features, and stopped insisting.
Xiaoxiao must have him in her heart, but she doesn't know what she is worried about.
But it's not a problem if you kiss it.
Chen Xiao's face was as crystal clear as snow, and she said quietly: "Then there is no shortage of people around you to warm your hands."
"It seems so." Jia Heng thought for a while, looked at the girl's frosty face, and said seriously: "You know, I have never been short of anything."
Chen Xiao bit her pink lips and whispered: "You..."
Jia Heng looked at the girl who was already angry and angry, and said warmly: "Then I'll go back first, and you should go back and rest earlier."
He never likes to force others to make things difficult for him, so if Xiaoxiao doesn't want to, then forget it.
Chen Xiao looked at the calm look on the young man's face again, pursed his pink lips and said, "Don't leave yet."
Jia Heng turned around, smiled and said, "What's wrong?"
"How are you going to deal with it tomorrow?" Chen Xiao said softly, his eyes filled with water.
Jia Heng said: "I have some plans in mind."
"What's the plan?"
Jia Heng said softly: "Let's go to bed and talk. It's very cold right now."
With that said, Zheng Qi naturally took Chen Xiao's hand and came to the bed in the inner room.
Chen Xiaoxu was skilled in martial arts and was not afraid of Jia Heng's random actions. He just looked at the young man intently with concern in his eyes.
Jia Heng said: "The assassination of King Chu this time was planned by the party of the deposed prince and the party of King Zhao. Then it can be said that there are still parties of the deposed prince and King Zhao in the south of the Yangtze River, and there are even Jiangnan officials who communicated with them.
Report."
When Chen Xiao heard this, his eyes couldn't help but light up, and he said in surprise: "Is this... going to start a big prison?"
Jia Heng said: "It is to frighten Xiao Xiao with the attitude of setting off a big prison. Only in this way can these Jiangnan scholars settle down. Some officials of the Sixth Department of Nanjing have experienced the tragedy of seizing the rightful son, and they know very well that during the Longzhi and Chongping years
The horrors of hell.”
Since people in the Jiangnan officialdom wanted to accuse him of being far-fetched, he "fabricated" a King of Zhao. There were still remnants of the deposed prince's party in the Jiangnan officialdom.
The direction of king's revenge.
And this might just turn into a bloody prison!
People in the Jiangnan official circles are bound to be frightened by the news.
He originally did not want to resort to these political tactics, because he considered himself not just a military governor, but an important minister of the military and state, and he somewhat cherished feathers.
But now since this group of people wants to join forces and try to throw dirty water on him, then he needs to play these two king bombs.
When the time comes, will the gangster carry out the assassination to deliberately throw dirty water on him? Is it a plan by the remnants of King Zhao to drive a wedge between the emperor and his ministers?
Emperor Chongping was suspicious and would definitely think so.
Then the nature of this matter has completely changed. The previous nitpicking about the so-called poor defense of the impeachment naturally turned into an ulterior motive!
Chen Xiao heard this, thought for a while, and said softly: "This is mainly about opposing guests, and the offensive and defensive momentum is different... During the Chongping period, because the prince was deposed, I don't know how many officials in King Zhao's party were killed. I'm afraid you will reveal this matter. I originally wanted to
The Jiangnan officials who were impeached by Shangshu almost dispersed in a hurry."
After Emperor Chongping came to the throne, he rarely had the same attitude as the then Supreme Emperor on one matter, which was to attack King Zhao and depose the prince's remnant party, for which many large prisons were set up.
This was how Miaoyu's father was originally involved in the deposed prince's party, and was framed by King Zhongshun.
Over the years, as time passed, it began to fade a bit.
Moreover, Jia Heng did not fabricate this matter. It was indeed Chen Yuan, the son of King Zhao, who was secretly plotting the assassination. He only directed public opinion to the fact that there was a small group of remnants of the Jiangnan officialdom who wanted to depose the prince and King Zhao, and were secretly colluding with each other.
This can effectively deter the people in the Jiangnan officialdom, because it must be the Jinyi Mansion who ordered Emperor Chongping to investigate this case!
The civil servants who wanted to be on top of the Jiangnan officialdom felt a chill arise spontaneously.
Chen Xiaozheng was thinking about the cleverness of the strategy. Suddenly, he frowned and said angrily: "What are you doing again?"
But he saw the young man hugging him again, reaching into his clothes, and building a snowman again.
"Xiaoxiao, I'm a little cold, warm your hands." Jia Heng leaned close to Chen Xiao's ear, whispered, then hugged the girl and sat in his arms.
Some things for him are like saving games. He just made a snowman, so he can do it now.
It is said that Xiaoxiao is really tall. Perhaps it is due to long-term martial arts practice. She is fat in places where she should be fat and thin in places where she should be thin. She also has strong firepower.
Chen Xiao's heart was in a state of confusion, and his whole body felt like he was being electrocuted. His appearance suddenly changed, and he said angrily: "You... don't do this."
When I was watching in the past, I saw him hugging the demon concubine of the Zhen family like this. I knew his methods a long time ago. As he spoke...
He struggled lightly, but he couldn't break free from Jia Heng's iron-like hands. Instead, he gradually softened under the grinding of his ears and temples after three or two struggles, especially the scorching heat that was frightening.
The girl's jade cheeks were slightly red, and she felt that she could no longer exert the strength to struggle. She sighed in her heart, gave up for the time being, and could only follow him.
Anyway, it's happened once before.
Jia Heng chuckled and whispered: "I've always wanted to hold Xiaoxiao and talk, but it's getting colder and colder. Xiaoxiao, aren't you cold?"
I had given Xiaoxiao too much control before, maybe I would be more decisive, and there would be no things that I had hid from myself before.
"I'm not cold..." Chen Xiao's cheeks, which were as clear as snow, were as red as a peach core. His hands were still trying to push away Jia Heng's hand. Suddenly, the warm and unscrupulous breath came close to his lips again. Before he spoke,
It was already lost in the rolling smoke of Jinling.
After a while, Jia Heng hugged Chen Xiao, who was already a little soft, and leaned against him gently, whispering: "Xiao Xiao."
Xiaoxiao is indeed quite cold, but that is the coldness of a heart as clear as ice, that is, a cold temperament, but her body still has the warmth of a young woman, especially after playing around, her hands are slightly hot and warm.
Chen Xiaofang couldn't help but feel her heart speed up a bit. She bit her lower lip and said urgently: "Don't mess around. I... we can't do that now."
Although she had been intimate with Jia Heng several times, this was the first time for her to be so close to each other, which undoubtedly made people panic. No one knew Jia Heng's tricks better than her.
She didn't want to be picked up by him later...
Jia Heng said softly: "Xiaoxiao, you have to believe in my determination, which starts from emotion and ends with etiquette. I will not bully you."
Not now? Can you do it later? Is this what Xiaoxiao means?
Chen Xiao: "..."
Is this just a courtesy? What kind of bullying?
She certainly knew his determination. Whether it was Xianning, Chanyue, or the delicate and frail Daiyu, he could always do nothing wrong with Qiu... Well, no, how could he be considered innocent in Qiu? She
They were all stunned by this man.
Jia Heng also calmed down for the time being and said warmly: "Xiaoxiao, you are my woman. Don't blame yourself for what happened before. I will think of something."
It could be seen earlier that Xiaoxiao actually felt a little guilty in her heart for what she didn't tell her just now.
Because this incident destroyed the tacit understanding and trust between the two of them, or in other words, Xiaoxiao thought that there was a gap between him, and deep down in his heart... there was indeed some.
Being concealed before, he just suppressed it and didn't want to worry about it.
People's perception of emotions is naturally keen. Xiaoxiao may have noticed that he didn't like her as much as before, so she was a little panicked, but she didn't know how to grasp this feeling.
When Chen Xiao heard this, his clear eyes trembled for a moment, but he couldn't help but think of what happened before. He said softly "Hmm", then he realized what he said and said angrily: "Who is your woman, huh?"
Jia Heng was originally warming his hands, but suddenly he leaned down and walked through the snow to look for plum blossoms in the coming winter of the 15th year of Chongping.
In his careless mind, Jia Heng suddenly remembered the big snow pear that Xiaoxiao peeled for him when he was in Haojing. It was white, fragrant, sweet and delicious.
Chen Xiao's bright eyes widened under Liu Ye's slender eyebrows, and an unprecedented tremor hit her heart. She tightly grasped Jia Heng's shoulders with both hands, bit her lips, and said in disbelief: "You..."
The girl felt a little guilty, so she felt powerless to refuse, and this weak state was keenly captured by Jia Heng.
After a while, Jia Heng raised his eyes to look at the shy and angry girl, and said, "Looking at other people's experiences and your own experience are different after all."
Chen Xiao's originally beautiful cheeks glowed like clouds under the light, and her bright eyes overflowed with shame, and she said angrily: "You...you are shameless!"
That enchanting concubine of the Zhen family was right, she was just a bastard who took things too far and couldn't satisfy her desires. She just fell into his trap without paying attention.
Jia Heng looked at the cute and angry girl, pinched her beautiful face, and the soft and delicate skin flowed between her fingers, and said: "It's getting late, Xiaoxiao, let's take a rest."
"Let me go." Chen Xiao said shyly and tidied up her messy clothes. Her face was flushed, even reaching her earlobes.
The main reason is that I know that Jia Heng has a solution, and a lot of the worries in my heart have dissipated.
Jia Heng gently let go of Chen Xiao and said, "You asked me to let go. It's getting late, so I'm going back."
I just saw that Xiaoxiao was a little depressed, so I couldn't help but want to tease her, so I didn't just take advantage of this opportunity to win.
After saying that, he didn't stay any longer, glanced at the angry girl, got up and left the study.
But they saw that the young man had left the study and headed outside. For a while, the room became quiet again, flooding into the girl's body and mind like darkness. It seemed that the intimacy and warmth just now were just a dream. Even though Chen Xiao was determined, he suddenly
It gave rise to an inexplicable feeling of loss and grievance.
Are you really leaving like this?
Chen Xiao took a deep breath and tried his best to dispel the inexplicable sudden low mood. He watched Jia Heng leave with his eyes. He could not see the leaving figure or the lantern. His clear eyes flickered, and it seemed that there was still something on his clothes and cheeks.
The remaining warmth in people makes people feel panicked.
She knew what he meant, but she didn't want the two of them to be like this because of what happened before...
But now she is indeed becoming more and more irresistible.
Jia Heng came out of the study, held a lantern with a calm face, and walked along the corridor.
The cold wind in the winter night was already biting, and the sound of the wind rustled the treetops and the lanterns made a rustling sound. All the way back to the courtyard where I lived, I saw the candle lighted.
Seemingly hearing the movement at the courtyard door, Qingwen came out to welcome him. With joy on her face, she said softly: "Young master, you are back."
Jia Heng handed the lantern over, smiled, looked at the girl with a happy face, and asked: "It's so late, why aren't you asleep yet?"
A lot of things happened this day.
Qingwen said softly: "I'm not sleepy right now. Miss Zhen Si is waiting for the young master in the house and said she wanted to talk to him about something."
After the last carriage intimacy, Jia Heng thought that Zhen Lan had left Ningguo Mansion and Zhen Xi would be lonely living alone, so he asked Zhen Xi to move to the courtyard where he lived.
Jia Heng nodded and said, "I'll go take a look."
At this moment, Zhen Xi had already heard Jia Heng's movements, and came out of the wing room. Her eyes as bright as a stream were like stars hidden in the night under the light, and she asked worriedly: "Brother Heng, how are you doing with eldest sister?"
During the previous meal, Zhen Xi also heard the news about the assassination of King Chu. Later, she heard that Zhen Qing's son Chen Chun had been assassinated, which made the girl feel sad for a long time.
Jia Heng was silent for a moment and said, "The situation over there with your eldest sister is not very good."
Thinking of Zhen Qing who had burst into tears earlier, a pity arose in her heart.
Zhen Qing, who was once in high spirits, suffered such a shock, and she didn't know how long it would take for her to recover.
"Brother Heng, I want to visit my eldest sister tomorrow." Zhen Xi said softly, with a look of anticipation on her pretty face.
Jia Heng nodded, pulled the girl's slender hair, and said: "Sister Xi'er, come with me to visit tomorrow."
After the King of Chu was assassinated, it goes without saying that many officials will definitely come to visit him tomorrow.
At this moment, Qingwen brought a cup of steaming tea, her eyes lingered on the hands held by the two of them, and she said softly: "Master, take a cup of cheese tea to warm yourself up."
"Yeah." Jia Heng said softly, let go of Zhen Xi's hand, picked up the tea cup, and took a sip.
Qingwen secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Jia Heng took a sip, handed it over, looked at Zhen Xi and said, "Sister Xi'er, do you want to drink it? Warm yourself up."
Qingwen: "???"
Zhen Xi's face turned slightly red, she looked at the young man, shook her head and said, "Brother Heng, I'm not thirsty. Brother Heng, drink it yourself."
Qingwen pursed her lips and said softly: "Sir, I'll pour you another glass."
Jia Heng smiled, put the tea cup down gently, and looked at Qingwen who was busy.
Zhen Xi nodded and whispered: "Brother Heng, how is Sister Lan now?"
Jia Heng turned to Zhen Xi and said, "She looks fine now, but what happened to the Fang family is not a small blow."
It can only be said that on this day, both Zhen Lan and Zhen Qing were somewhat unlucky. The two people with similar temperaments encountered misfortune one after another.
Zhen Xi sighed softly, and under her beautiful eyebrows, there was a look of worry in her eyes as spiritual as a stream. She sighed: "Sister Lan has always been strong. When this happened, she didn't know how to feel sad. How could she be so sad?"
With a big sister, everything like this has happened to me."
In the past few days, the Zhen family has been experiencing almost constant misfortune.
Jia Heng looked at the petite girl with a haggard look, and comforted her: "Don't worry too much, sister Xi'er. I will take you to see Princess Chu tomorrow, and then go back to Zhen's house to stay for two days."
Zhen Xi didn't know if it was because of her weak relationship with her biological father, Zhen Zhu, that she didn't mention Zhen Zhu just now.
When Zhen Xi heard this, her delicate body trembled slightly, her head was raised, her eyes darkened under her beautiful eyebrows, she looked at Jia Heng with tears in her eyes, and said with a cry in her voice: "Brother Heng, don't you... don't want me anymore?"
ah?"
Their home had just been ransacked, and Brother Heng must have thought she was a burden and wanted to send her back to the Zhen family.
Jia Heng took the girl's hand, sat on the bed side by side, and said comfortingly: "Where do you get all these random thoughts? I want you to go back just to talk to your mother and your eldest sister, but it's quite chaotic over there.
Yes, it’s okay not to go back.”
Although it is now said that the investigation is conducted on Zhen's family, it is more about investigating financial issues, and there are actually far fewer restrictions on women's papers.
Zhen Xi said "hmm" and then she felt relieved and said, "I'm going to stay for a few days and have a few words with Sister Lan, but why not bring Sister Lan over here? And Xinxin,
Stop scaring her?"
Jia Heng said: "It's okay for Xinxin to come over. Sister Lan...you can go back and ask her what she means."
Hearing this, Zhen Xi agreed happily.
At this time, Qingwen brought the hot water and entered the side room, looked at the two people sitting on the bed holding hands, and said softly: "Master, just wash your feet."
Jia Heng took off his shoes and socks, started to soak his feet, and said warmly: "Sister Xi'er, it's cold. It's too cold to sleep alone at night. Come sleep with me later."
Originally, she wanted to hug Xiaoxiao to sleep, but Xiaoxiao was probably worried that he had some bad intentions. It was also because the weather was getting colder, so it was warmer to sleep with someone in her arms.
When Zhen Xi heard this, her cheeks turned red with embarrassment, she lowered her head and said softly, "Hmm". Even if she didn't say that the purpose of being sent here by the Zhen family was to serve Jia Heng, even on the carriage the day before yesterday, she had a relationship with Jia Heng.
An act of intimacy.
When Qingwen heard that the two of them were going to sleep together, she curled her lips and couldn't help but hum.
If she sleeps alone at night, is she not cold?
After washing his feet, Jia Heng got on the bed and covered himself with a quilt. He looked at the girl who was rustling her clothes and finally only wore a pink bellyband embroidered with peach blossoms, and said, "Don't catch a cold."
As he said that, he hugged her and held her warmly and softly. He just hugged her and didn't do anything else.
Jia Heng said softly: "A lot of things happened in the Zhen family this day."
Zhen Xi curled up in Jia Heng's arms like a kitten, her cheeks were red, and her childish eyebrows showed worry, and she said softly: "Brother Heng, big sister... what will she do in the future? And at home?"
She knew about the affair between eldest sister and eldest brother Heng.
Jia Heng hugged the girl's fragrant and warm body, and said warmly: "Your eldest sister is in trouble right now. Tomorrow you go and comfort her, and see if you can let her move to the Zhen family or another manor again, so as not to meet her again."
As for things and people, as for the Zhen family, there should be nothing major."
He could completely understand Zhen Qing's mood, but people always have to look forward.
Zhen Xi responded gently, leaning against Jia Heng's solid chest, blinking her spirited eyes, and said softly: "Brother Heng, will you help big sister?"
Jia Heng said: "Well, it will definitely happen, but she still has to come out of this kind of thing on her own. Xi'er, okay, don't talk about it, let's go to sleep."
As he spoke, he hugged the girl's body as soft as jade and fell asleep in each other's arms, saying nothing again all night.
The next day, Jinling City
The assassination of the King of Chu and the downfall of the Zhen family almost exploded throughout Jinling City, causing endless discussion in the streets and alleys.
After Jia Heng went to Jinyi Mansion and heard about Liu Jixian's hunt for assassins, he ordered more people to search for them, and then led Zhen Xi to visit the King of Chu's posthouse again.
In addition to the Zhen family's horse-drawn carriage station parked at the southeast side gate, there were also some Jinling City officials whose sedan chairs landed in front of the station gate, visiting the King of Chu and coming to express their condolences.
Led by Yuan Tu, the Minister of Rites, this famous eunuch from Jiangnan was the teacher of the King of Chu in the capital at that time. Officials from the Six Ministries of Nanjing, the Jiangnan Governor's Yamen, and the Liangjiang Governor's Yamen also came to express their condolences.
The news that the crown prince of Chu was assassinated and died prematurely has spread among the officials in Jinling, and an undercurrent is also brewing, seemingly trying to cause some waves.
At this moment, the King of Chu was sitting slumped in the waiting room of the post house. Together with the palace chief Shi Liao Xian and the chief secretary Feng Ci, they were entertaining the waves of guests and chatting with them, with a look of sadness on their faces.
As for the side room in the post house, Princess Chu Zhen Qing was covered with a quilt and half-sitting on the bed. Her originally charming and gorgeous face was as pale as paper, with tears still there, and her narrow and clear eyes were in a daze.
Although the beauty had the unyielding desire to refuse to admit defeat in the desperate situation last night, the pain of losing her beloved son was still lingering in her heart, and it could not be relieved in a short while.
Sitting on the embroidered pier not far away, Mrs. Gan brought Beijing Princess Zhen Xue and Zhen Lan over early in the morning to visit Zhen Qing and comfort her daughter.
Mrs. Gan's face was pale, her eyes were red, and her eyes were full of distress. She took Zhen Qing's hand and said, "Girl Qing, don't think in narrow places, you have to look forward."
Zhen Qing turned her face away, her eyes filled with tears, and she sobbed, "Mom, why is my daughter's life so miserable?"
Mrs. Gan sighed, hugged Zhen Qing's shoulders and said, "Girl Qing."
Zhen Xue sat aside and looked at Zhen Qing, feeling a sigh of relief in her heart.
My sister has always been proud, but now that she has no children, I am afraid that her heart has reached the extreme level of pain.
She didn't dare think about how she would survive after losing Xinxin. Comparing her feelings with her own, how heartbroken her sister must be now?
Zhen Qing and Gan were crying. Zhen Xue, Zhen Shao's wife Sun, and Zhen Xuan's wife Xu offered words of advice. Remembering that the Zhen family had been raided, and that such an unfortunate thing had happened to Zhen Qing, who was the pillar of the Zhen family, Gan
Shi, Yang and others persuaded him, and he couldn't help but shed tears.
At this moment, the voice of the nanny came from outside, saying: "The princess, the eldest princess, the princess of Xianning, and the princess of Qinghe are here."
The people who were talking quickly picked up their handkerchiefs and wiped their tears, stood up, and went out to greet him.
I saw the eldest princess of Jinyang leading Princess Xianning and Princess Qinghe Li Chanyue, accompanied by Lianxue and Yuanchun, into the wing.
Mrs. Gan quickly stepped forward to greet her, saluted and said, "Elder Princess."
The eldest princess of Jinyang was also shocked when she learned about the assassination of King Chu last night, and then her heart skipped a beat when she heard that the prince of Chu had been assassinated and died young.
Beauties of this age couldn't bear to hear this, and then asked Mrs. Gan to take Princess Beijing to visit and comfort Princess Chu Zhen Qing.
The eldest princess of Jinyang stretched out her hand to support her, her hibiscus jade face was filled with gentleness, and she comforted her: "Mrs. Gan doesn't need so many courtesy."
Then he looked at Zhen Qing on the bed, his eyes a little sad.
This nephew-in-law also has a cheerful personality and is decisive in killing. Now that she has lost her beloved son, she doesn’t know how to be sad. If coupled with the collapse of the Zhen family, it will almost be a disaster. Without the child to act as a link and the family as a support
, whether we can still have harmony as husband and wife with the King of Chu in the future is a matter of choice.
Princess Xianning also looked at Zhen Qing with some sympathy, took Li Chanyue's hand and sat down on the embroidered pier beside her.
"Aunt." Zhen Qing raised her eyes to look at the eldest princess of Jinyang, called out weakly, and was about to struggle to salute the eldest princess of Jinyang.
The eldest princess of Jinyang looked at the beauty with messy buns and a dark expression, and said softly: "You are not in good health now, so you should not bow."
Zhen Qing thanked her and looked unhappy.
Outside, Jia Heng also led Zhen Xi in a carriage to the post house.
"Uncle Yongning is here!"
In the living room in front of the post house, King Chu, who was entertaining guests, paused when he heard his servant's words. Then he left the living room with Yuan Tu, Shen Fang and others who were talking, and went down the stairs to meet the servant.
Boy in python suit.
Jia Heng bowed and said, "Your Majesty."
The King of Chu stretched out his hand to support Jia Heng and asked first: "Ziyu, has the assassin been caught?"
"Last night, the guards of Jinyi Mansion captured another person and killed another person. The person they caught took poison and committed suicide." Jia Heng pondered for a moment and said loudly: "These are the dead soldiers raised by the gangsters, and they are here for the prince.
.”
The King of Chu sighed and said: "Gu Ping has always been kind to others in Beijing and never argued with others. I don't know who I have offended, but I have to deal with it so cruelly?"
Last night, he discussed this matter with his staff, and also speculated whether it was the King of Qi and the King of Wei in the capital, but after thinking about it, the two of them would never dare to act so boldly.
At this time, Yuan Tu, the Minister of Rites in Nanjing, frowned and said: "Uncle Yongning, His Royal Highness the King of Chu went south to Jinling. As the commander-in-chief of Jinling, you commanded the emperor's personal army. You did not take precautions against such an assassination.
Warning? What’s the point?”
As soon as these words came out, the other officials of the Six Ministries in Jiangnan paused for a moment, and a secret thought came to their minds.
This call for questioning was clearly intended to hold Yong Ning Bo accountable for his oversight.
Yuan Tu, the Minister of Rites, was the teacher of the King of Chu. Could this be because the King of Chu was dissatisfied with the inability to protect Yongning Bo?
But at this moment, King Chu's brows were furrowed. It was difficult to persuade the teacher who stood up for him to stop mentioning this matter. He could only bite the bullet and was about to say a few words to smooth things over.
Shen Fang was not far away, watching this scene with cold eyes, and sneered in his heart. No matter what, these accusations would stain the child who was in the spotlight.
Fang Yaochun also had a gloomy expression on his face and said: "Uncle Yongning is the commander-in-chief in imperial robes, and he also commands nearly 100,000 troops in the camp south of the Yangtze River and in the north of the Yangtze River. He actually allowed the assassin to make a dangerous attack. I really don't know where he came from."
Jia Heng's face was indifferent, he looked at the Nanjing officials, and said in a deep voice: "I am busy dealing with the invasion of the bandits during this period. Although the Jinyi guards are the emperor's own soldiers and have the responsibility of checking for treachery, Jinyi
The palace guards are not gods and cannot predict the future, and besides, these rebels are the remnants of the Longzhi Dynasty!"
As soon as these words came out, the faces of the Jiangnan officials who were originally preparing to attack in groups changed and they looked at each other in confusion.
What are the remnants of Longji’s reign? Could this be the details of those assassins!
Jia Heng said in a deep voice: "I have written a memorial about this matter and delivered it to you. Your Majesty, please rest assured that as long as the palace no longer resists the protection of Jinyi Palace Guards, this matter will never happen again."
Having said this, his eyes fell on King Chu's face.
The King of Chu was stunned for a moment, startled, and then said with a sad look on his face: "Uncle Yongning, the guards of Jinyi Mansion are not to blame for this, it was the young king who suddenly moved to the post house, which gave the thieves an opportunity to take advantage of.
"
Before the King of Chu could continue speaking, Jia Heng stopped the conversation and said, "The thieves are too cunning. There are probably people in Jinling City who colluded with the thieves and tipped off the news. The guards of Jinyi Mansion will investigate the matter in the next few days."
Before all the Jiangnan officials were shocked, they suddenly heard the young man say in a deep voice:
"These evil remnants of the Longzhi Dynasty are the remnants of the deposed prince and King Zhao's party. They want to take the opportunity to assassinate His Royal Highness the King of Chu. The land south of the Yangtze River has always been a hiding place for the evil party. I don't know how many old people who have benefited from it have done so.
The evil party tipped off the news, otherwise, how would these remnants of the evil party know that His Highness moved from the Zhen family to the post house two days ago?"
When Jia Heng finished speaking, his sharp eyes fell on the faces of the officials from the Six Ministries of Nanjing, as if he was observing who was deposing the crown prince and who was the traitor of King Zhao.
As soon as these words came out, the faces of the Jiangnan officials present changed drastically, and a turmoil arose in their hearts.
Because of the deposed prince, King Zhao was a taboo in the Chongping Dynasty. Ten years ago, every appearance was associated with bloodshed.
