Chapter 851 Emperor Chongping: Dear lords, please follow me down to the city to greet you.
Kaifeng Mansion
Jia Heng said goodbye to Xu Kai and boarded the deck. The fleet did not delay any more and set off towards Luoyang again.
"You're back?" Youshi happened to be walking from the corridor on the ship nearby. Looking at the tall and straight-looking young man in a python suit, Wen Ning could see a light look of joy and tenderness on his face.
Jia Heng nodded, looked at Mrs. You and said, "Sister-in-law You, what is this?"
At this moment, Youshi is wearing a deciduous yellow background floral embroidered front-fronted cape with an ivory pattern satin collar, a green and white square collared jacket, a pine flower horse-faced skirt, and her hair is pulled up like a woman.
The jacket on the upper body highlights the plump and exquisite figure, the familiar and charming aura lingers around, and the gentle and tranquil eyebrows, staring at each other, seem to have a thousand words to say.
Xu Shi left Jinling and stayed far away from a group of young and beautiful girls for a long time. His mentality became much younger, and his face was not as plain as before. He began to wear weak makeup, and the ears beside his temples
Nails sparkle.
Under Youshi's eyebrows, she looked at the young man with watery eyes, and said softly: "Prepare some incense for them. Everyone is in the house. The weather is getting colder and colder this way, and it looks like it will snow."
The way it looks.”
I don’t know if he ever used the scarf she knitted for him.
Jia Heng nodded and said: "It's getting colder. Sister-in-law You, put on some extra clothes and be careful not to catch cold. Let's go to the cabin. It's warmer."
Listening to the young man's words of concern, Youshi said softly "Hey" and walked towards the cabin hall.
Entering the cabin, Baochai, Daiyu, Xiangyun, Baoqin, and Nona were gathered around talking together. In addition, Princess Xianning and Li Chanyue also came.
The sisters of the Jia family were not distinct from Princess Xianning and Princess Qinghe. They were all little girls of the same age, holding hands and talking and laughing.
In fact, with lively and lovely little girls like Xiangyun and Baoqin accompanying them, there will be no shortage of laughter and laughter. Princess Xianning also knows that the little girls present are all relatives and sisters of Jia Heng. She has been here several times in the past, and she has never been short of laughter.
There is no pretense about Tianhuangguiwei.
On his way north, Jia Heng basically had to go back and forth with the boats on both sides, and sometimes he had to go to the cabin where Princess Xianning and Princess Qinghe were.
Seeing Jia Heng come in, Princess Xianning stood up from the embroidered pier and went to greet him. Her clear eyes under the willow leaves' slender eyebrows were soft and bright, and she asked with a chuckle: "Sir, I have met Shi Hou.
"
Jia Heng nodded and said, "I've seen him before. I just met Xu Xueshi and had a chat with him for a while."
Princess Xianning was surprised and said: "Xu Xu?"
"It's Xu Kai, the former Hanlin scholar. He is the prefect of Runing Prefecture. I asked him to do something." Jia Heng explained in a natural tone and asked: "You are going to see your uncle today. He said
What."
"I didn't say anything else. I just asked me to bring a few things to my mother." Princess Xianning, Qingjue, with a smile on her beautiful face, said softly: "In addition, my uncle wants to meet my husband."
Jia Heng said: "See you in Beijing during the Chinese New Year. I have to go to Beijing recently."
At this moment, Baochai and Daiyu saw the two people who were talking. Listening to the intimacy and natural tone of an old couple, they looked at each other with star eyes and apricot eyes, their thoughts were complicated and inexplicable.
In fact, Princess Qinghe is not bad, she has a gentle and poetic temperament, speaks softly, is soft and weak, and can still talk to Daiyu, but Princess Xianning puts more pressure on Chai and Dai.
It's not that Princess Xianning oppresses others with her status. Just sitting there quietly, her status is difficult for people to ignore.
Jia Heng said a few words to Princess Xianning, walked up to Xiang Yun and Daiyu who were playing chess, and said, "I will play a game of chess with Sister Yun."
Daiyu said softly: "Then I will have a conversation with Sister Chanyue."
Jia Heng looked at Daiyu, met her bright and clear eyes, and said softly: "Yes."
It's not necessarily that Daiyu is aggrieved, but that she is a crying child who wants to be eaten. That's her character. She can talk to Daiyu alone later.
Zhen Xi, who was painting with the little princess next to the bookcase, now moved away and said, "Sister Lin."
Daiyu responded and sat down.
Xiangyun said with a smile: "Brother Heng, you weren't just thinking about mahjong in the past, we are also having fun, so that everyone can be more lively."
Just talking to Jia Heng on the carriage for a while, the deepest worries in the girl's heart have dissipated a little. She can play as she wants and no longer have to worry about her aunt asking her to marry someone else.
Bao Qin also smiled and took over the conversation and said, "Brother Heng, it's good to have dominoes."
Entertainment activities at this time were relatively sparse, and the little girls had a lot of fun playing pairs and couplets along the way.
Jia Heng said softly: "Mahjong has to be made quickly. We can't do it on the ship now, but we do have dominoes."
After saying that, he looked at Yuanyang and said, "Go and prepare a set of dominoes."
Then, he played a game of chess with Xiangyun, looked up at Princess Xianning, and said, "You also play with them. I will go to the study to read now."
Then he looked at the people who were talking and said in a gentle voice: "We will stop when we reach Luoyang and enter Guanzhong directly. Otherwise, when the river freezes, we will have to get off the boat and take a carriage."
All the warblers nodded in response.
Then, Jia Heng returned to his study and continued to think about what to do after returning to Beijing.
It is said to be a study room, but it is actually just a place for reading and resting. It is located at the other end of the cabin. It is spacious and elegantly decorated.
Tan Chun was already reading in the study. When he saw Jia Heng coming over, he got up and asked in surprise: "Brother Heng, you are here."
Zhen Lan on the side also got up, picked up the teapot, poured a cup of tea for Jia Heng, and said: "Brother Heng, drink tea."
Since the last time she asked Jia Heng for advice, Zhen Lan has frequently come to Jia Heng with books to ask for advice. Jia Heng asked Zhen Lan to study in the small hall of the study.
Jia Heng nodded, thanked him, held the teacup in his hands, and asked, "What book does Sister Lan read?"
Zhen Lan had a slight smile on her slightly thin oval face, and her eyebrows were very lively. She said: "Brother Heng, Song Shi, why don't you just look for it when you get to Kaifeng Mansion?"
Jia Heng smiled and said: "The history of the Song Dynasty is good, and the best thing is to seek peace. Jingkang was ashamed, and You Weixue made people look at the fate of peace seekers."
Qinzong sued for peace, and after the city of Kaifeng was destroyed, the emperors, princesses, and queens of the Song Dynasty were all kidnapped. Emperor Maode died in a broken valley. Empress Zhu Lian of Qinzong could not bear the humiliation and committed suicide. She conquered the world by bullying orphans and widows.
The Zhao family has completely disgraced Hua Xia Zhengshuo.
Zhen Lan put down the book and looked into the clear eyes under the sword-shaped eyebrows, her heart moved slightly.
Jia Heng said: "It would be good for my sister to read more history books to increase her knowledge."
"After I heard Brother Heng talk about it last time, I turned it out and read it, but I also read it for fun and read the story." Zhen Lan stood up and said with a smile.
Tan Chun took the paper and quietly interrupted the conversation between the two of them, saying: "Brother Heng, the flying pigeon letter sent by the detective just now said that Beijing Central Committee is urging you to return to Beijing."
"Bring it to me and take a look." Jia Heng said softly, took the paper handed over by Tan Chun, and read the words on it attentively.
What it contains is that Emperor Chongping urged Jia Heng to return to Beijing as soon as possible.
Jia Heng's eyes were dark and he said softly: "There has been a new incident in Beijing."
After the peace talks were discussed in the imperial history of Kedao, the supervisors of the Imperial College and the Hanlin Academy began to control public opinion. Of course, this was not the reason why Emperor Chongping urged it. It was Yan Ye, the king of Nan'an County, who also proposed that peace could be negotiated. This was a blatant stand by a military minister. Undoubtedly,
This further boosted the momentum of the Lord Harmony faction.
Moreover, the statement made by the prince of Nan'an County is also very high-sounding. The Eastern Barbarians are powerful and their base in Liaodong was not created in a day, nor can it be destroyed in a day. This is even in line with what Jia Heng said in his "Ping Lu Ce".
Jia Heng pondered for a moment and said: "I have ordered the ship to speed up and reach the capital as soon as possible."
Zhen Lan cast her glistening eyes on the piece of paper, and with curiosity rising in her heart, she asked, "Brother Heng."
Jia Heng pondered and said: "Huang Qianshan, Qin Hui and his like made a lot of noise in the court, trying to coerce the Holy Heart with the intention of scholars, and there were many important officials in the court who raised their eyebrows."
It has to be said that there were experts among the Jurchens who told them that they would never make peace with the border when they regarded it as nothing. At that time, Chen Han had never thought of making peace with the Jurchens.
Now that I have suffered some losses, I have begun to use this to cause trouble for the government.
Tan Chun said softly: "Brother Heng, it's okay to do it."
She took a first look just now, and it seemed that the Prince of Nan'an County was also present to preside over the peace talks.
Sometimes I have to say that there is a destiny. If the original development is followed, Tanchun will become the goddaughter of Nan'an County Prince, and then marry Fanguo.
Jia Heng nodded and said: "It doesn't matter, they are all clowns."
After saying that, he came to a three-foot-long lacquered wood bookcase, sat down, picked up the brush again and started writing the Three Kingdoms dialect book.
Seeing this, Tanchun picked up the ink and grinded it, and looked at the young man who was concentrating on it, his bright eyes almost lost focus.
After returning to Beijing, I was not worried because another dispute broke out in Beijing.
Zhen Lan also sat down not far away, looked at the boy in the python suit, her eyes flashed, and her delicate hands gently stroked Song Shi in her hand.
In the evening, Jia Heng finished copying and rubbed his wrist. At this time, Tan Chun handed over the tea cup and said: "Brother Heng, have a drink of tea and have a rest."
Jia Heng nodded, took a sip of maple dew tea, and said softly: "The third part has been written. My sister will bind the manuscript. After I finish writing the second part, I will engrave it in Beijing and publish it."
I vaguely remember that he first became famous for his Three Kingdoms dialects, and eventually met Jinyang, and the two got to know each other.
I don’t know how she and her child are doing. It’s been almost a month since we left Jinling, and now is a dangerous time.
Jia Heng's eyes were lost for a moment, and he could not help but think of Jinyang, and then Mopan and Zhen Xue. Since he had a child, he could not lose, no matter it was a court battle or a war.
At this time, Zhen Lan stood up from the embroidered pier, with a look of curiosity on her bright and beautiful face, and said softly: "Third sister, let me do it."
Tan Chun looked stunned for a moment, looked at Zhen Lan, handed over the manuscript with dry ink in his hand, and said with a chuckle: "Then do it."
At first, she was somewhat fond of this sister who was one or two years older than her, and she was the one with whom she had a good chat with among the sisters, but now... hum.
Jia Heng caught Tan Chun's little eyes and felt a little funny. He looked at Tan Chun and said, "Third sister, come here and rub my shoulders."
When Tanchun heard this, he felt a little happy, said "Hey", and followed Jia Heng over.
After Jia Heng left Tiaoyu, he walked around a screen and came to the corridor. He walked a few more steps and arrived at a new wing cabin.
After Jiaheng was tired these days, Tanchun offered to help Jiaheng relax with a massage. Well, it was just a simple shoulder rub, which was very formal.
Jia Heng asked: "Third sister, what books have you read today?"
"Six Tao's Military Book." Tan Chun pinched Jia Heng's shoulder and whispered: "Brother Heng, when the war starts next year, why don't you take me with you?"
Jia Heng smiled and said: "The battle between the two armies is fierce and dangerous, and my sister is too young to go there."
Tan Chun said sadly, his eyes flashed, and asked: "How about we discuss something with Brother Heng?"
"What's going on?" Jia Heng asked.
"I want to learn martial arts." Tan Chunying's face was full of hope, "I can help Brother Heng in the future. I really like bow shooting."
Only if she learns martial arts, can she be like that Miss Xiao, who always accompanies Brother Heng through life and death.
Jia Heng thought for a while and said: "It's not bad to learn martial arts to strengthen your body, but there is no female master in the house to teach you. Xia Houying and your sister Xiao are both in Jinling, so they can't teach you now."
At this time, when girls learn martial arts, some moves are taught personally, which is more convenient for girls.
Tan Chun raised his eyebrows, his bright eyes were as bright as stars, and said softly: "Brother Heng, please teach me."
"It's fine if I teach you first, but I don't know if you can endure the hardship." Jia Heng smiled and said, "There is a small school ground at home. I will teach you how to endure the hardship later."
Yuanchun and Tanchun were both civil and martial. After Tanchun learned martial arts, he was able to protect the girls in the garden.
It is foreseeable that as he gradually takes charge of national affairs, the future struggle situation will become more severe and cruel. This is why he previously asked Xiaoxiao to help train some female guards.
Tanchun couldn't hide the excitement in his tone, his eyes were overflowing with joy, and he said, "Then it's settled."
Jia Heng smiled and said: "You are now a big girl, and you are still like a child who has not grown up."
"In Brother Heng's eyes, I am always a child." Tan Chun said suddenly unhappy.
Jia Heng stared at the girl, smiled and said: "I'm not a child anymore. Now I look the same every year, and it's all up to my chest."
As he spoke, he gently rubbed the girl's bangs.
In fact, not only Tanchun, but also Daiyu was not taller than him. Every time she was intimate with him, Daiyu would stand on tiptoe. Of course, he would accommodate Daiyu more often.
Tan Chun's cheeks turned red with embarrassment as he was being pampered, and said: "Brother Heng."
Jia Heng took the girl's hand, sat on a chair nearby, and said, "It's good to learn martial arts. I like to have a female general in our family. I still remember what my sister said."
In this era, it is still too early for a girl to get married. It must be after the age of eighteen.
"You have your own reasons for setting up a career." Jia Heng had admiration in his eyes. He felt that he needed to encourage Tanchun, and looked at the girl with bright eyes and white teeth, and said warmly: "My family
Of the sisters, in fact, I admire the third sister the most."
When Tanchun heard this, his heart trembled, and his whole body was surrounded by a huge joy.
The last word "most" struck a trace of youthfulness in the girl's heart.
Just a moment later, an unspeakable sadness surged in her heart. It was just because her surname was Jia that she could not be with Brother Heng like Sister Lin and Sister Xue.
But when the words came to his lips, his bright eyes sparkled and he said: "Where is Sister Yun and the second sister?"
Jia Heng said: "Sister Yun is innocent and playful. After all, she is a daughter and has no ability to change her situation, but she does not complain."
Xiangyun's temperament is actually a bit like Jia's mother, but she is more transparent than Jia's mother. Being able to say to Baoyu, "You will go with those who kill for officials." It shows that Xiangyun is innocent and playful under the appearance.
, in fact, the mind is clear.
"Where's the second sister?" Tanchun asked.
Jia Heng smiled and said, "Don't you know what your second sister is like?"
I still remember the little look in Tan Chun's eyes in the TV series "Red Mansions" in the previous life, "Exactly. How many men are like this, let alone me?"
Tan Chunming blinked and asked curiously: "What about Sister Lin? Why does Brother Heng..."
How could Brother Heng like Sister Lin's temperament of always crying?
At this moment, at the corner of the corridor of the cabin, the girl held her handkerchief tightly and listened carefully. Originally, Daiyu wanted to come and talk to Jia Heng alone while taking advantage of the opportunity to get some air.
Unlike Baochai who had completely accepted this reality when he went south with Princess Xianning and Li Chanyue, Daiyu had too little contact with Princess Xianning and always felt a little strange in her heart.
Jia Heng was silent for a moment and said: "Sister Lin is soft on the outside but strong on the inside. She is affectionate and sincere. If you treat her well, she will treat you well in return."
When Daiyu, who was listening secretly, heard the words, her delicate body trembled slightly, her bright starry eyes were filled with mist, and a warm current suddenly surged in her heart.
Brother Heng really knew about her, and he did not waste her affection for her in vain.
"That treasure..."
Jia Heng interrupted Tan Chun's words, took the girl's bare hand, pulled her into his arms, scraped the bridge of Tan Chun's nose, and said, "Okay, stop asking questions."
You really think his life is too easy, right?
Tanchun liked this kind of intimacy with him, and he felt a mixture of shame and joy, and said shyly and angrily: "Brother Heng."
Jia Heng said softly: "Actually, I want to tell my sister about sister Lan'er. She is quite pitiful. Such a big thing happened at home. You two have strong personalities. You should be closer to her. She is actually
There is also your shadow, and I usually like history books and military books. You two can become good sisters."
Hearing this, Tanchun nodded and said, "Brother Heng, I've written it down."
She didn't know why. Maybe it was because they had similar temperaments, but Sister Nalan's surname was Zhen, so she felt a little awkward?
Jia Heng said: "Okay, it's time for dinner later."
In the evening, Jia Heng returned to his usual living room, looked at Princess Xianning who was already sitting there, and asked: "Xianning, where is Chanyue?"
"Chanyue is chatting about poetry with Sister Lin." Princess Xianning said softly, stepped forward, hugged Jia Heng's waist, pressed her cheek against Jia Heng's arms, and asked: "Sir, the public opinion in Beijing has been recent.
Something happened again?"
Jia Heng whispered: "The king of Nan'an County, Yan Ye, also proposed to support the temporary peace treaty with the Jurchens."
Princess Xianning frowned and said, "The prince of Nan'an County will support the peace talks."
"He is the Minister of Military and Aircraft, and he is also a martial artist. Now the Zihu Faction is so popular that I am afraid that when we get to Guanzhong, some cabinet ministers and six ministers in Beijing will also end up." Jia Heng said.
In fact, regarding the peace talks, if the Jurchens do not attack for three to five years, then the big man will have time to develop, but the key is that the Jurchens must return to Duduo. This is undoubtedly a time for him to work hard to build military morale.
A great opportunity wasted.
And this is presumably the real purpose of the Jurchen high-level officials.
This cannot be tolerated!
Princess Xianning said: "Then how do you deal with it, sir?"
Although the Prince of Nan'an County is the father-in-law of Brother Wei Wang, his husband is always at the mercy of his wife. If her husband is at odds with the Nan'an family, she will naturally stand by his side.
Jia Heng said: "First hurry up and return to Beijing."
…
…
The years pass by, and the seasons flow by.
Jia Heng's fleet left Kaifeng, the provincial capital, and headed for Chang'an without resting in Luoyang, finally entering Guanzhong in early December of the fifteenth year of Chongping.
At this moment, it had just snowed in Guanzhong, and the river was not frozen, so it was safe for boating.
As Jia Heng gradually arrived in the sacred city of Beijing, the wind of public opinion calling for peace talks gradually began to spread in the capital. From Liu Yuzhong, the Imperial Academy scholar, to Liu Zheng, a scholar of the Hanlin Academy, Yao Yu, the Minister of Rites, and Zhao Mo, the Minister of Punishments.
Fang Huan, the Minister of Civil Affairs, and officials from different factions from the Qi Party to the Zhejiang Party came out one after another to express their opinions that they could negotiate peace with the Jurchens.
Not all of these people may want to negotiate for peace; perhaps some of them want to work hard and hide their capabilities and bide their time after the peace talks.
But no one can say whether we should work hard to cure the disease or continue to live in a state of drunkenness and sleep, singing and dancing.
In other words, the public opinion that started in Kedao has spread to ministers and officials at the ministerial level. They are creating public opinion on the war and peace, trying to use a public opinion offensive to welcome Jia Heng's triumph.
At the insistence of Emperor Chongping, all officials from Shenjing came to the east city of Shenjing City to welcome Jia Heng's triumphant army.
At that time, the north wind was howling, and the wasteland beside the official road still had water marks from melted snowdrifts. Willow branches with withered leaves rustled in the cold wind, creating a chilling scene in winter.
On the city wall made of blue bricks and strips of stone, under the cover of a yellow sail, the middle-aged emperor looked like a green pine tree among the ministers and eunuchs, looking up at the distance with an expectant face.
On the river, the ceremonial flags raised by the surrounding Jinyi Palace Guards were flapping in the cold wind.
Dai Quan was holding a fly whisk at the side and stood on tiptoe, looking at the river at Baqiao.
At this moment, the sergeants lined up below were standing in the cold wind with their swords in hand, breathing out hot air.
Yang Guochang was standing in the cold wind at this moment, his beard was moving with the wind, and a cold look was seen on his old face.
The civil and military officials welcomed the child in the cold wind. How could the child be so virtuous and capable?
Han Huang and Zhao Mo looked at each other and saw solemn expressions on each other's faces.
Yong Ningbo returned to Beijing and reviewed his past achievements. With his tough temperament, he was afraid that the political tide in Beijing would become even more turbulent.
The Prince of Nan'an County was also standing not far away with several officers from the Military Aircraft Department, with a cold face and a sneer in his heart.
This was a great achievement, and the emperor was so special that he thought it was Ning Guogong who had returned from the dead.
King Wei, who was not far away, was watching with excitement in his eyes. Song Jing, who was beside him, saw the expressions of some cabinet ministers in his eyes, but his face was thoughtful.
In fact, Emperor Chongping also used this method to frighten the peace talks that were gradually rising in the capital.
At this moment, the sergeant standing on the top of the wall watching with excellent eyesight saw the shadow of a boat and shouted: "Your Majesty, here we come, people are here."
After everyone heard the words, no matter what they thought, they all gathered their eyes to watch.
On the sparkling river, ships as tall as cities and with high masts were beating the sails and gradually approaching. The cavalry and cavalry escorting them along the way had already stepped through the withered and deep grass, and their horse hooves were beating on the grass.
It rolled back and forth in the grass, kicking up dust and grass root debris.
When Emperor Chongping saw this, his eyes were excited, and his voice could not contain his excitement, and he said: "My lords, please follow me down to the city to greet you."
Yang Guochang frowned and snorted coldly in his heart. As Emperor Chongping descended from the city gate tower, he was surrounded by guards and soldiers with flags on both sides.
As all the civil and military officials descended from the city gate tower, the ship flying the "Jia" flag also arrived at the ferry first.
