Chapter 977 Emperor Chongping: Duke Wei is with me
Grand View Garden, Xiaoxiang Pavilion
The night falls, everything is silent, the gentle summer wind blows in the bamboo forest, and the green bamboo leaves flutter among them, making a rustling sound.
In the wing of the Xiaoxiang Pavilion, the lights were bright and bright. A petite girl was sitting behind a bookcase, holding a book in her hand. The orange candlelight illuminated her delicate figure and cast it on the bookshelf.
"It's late at night, girl, stop looking, it's time to take a rest." Zijuan picked up a tea cup, approached the table and said softly.
Daiyu frowned slightly, her bright eyes shining like stars, she gently put down the poetry collection in her hand and sighed quietly.
The girl is close to the age of hairpins, and her originally pale and thin face has gradually gained an air of youthfulness.
It has the charm of the original work, "The state of mind is full of sorrow, and the whole body is delicate. Tears are shed, and the breath is slight. When you are quiet, you are like a delicate flower shining on the water, and when you move, you are like a weak willow supporting the wind...".
And under the clavicle of the beautiful neck, which is as white as snow, the lambs that have been grazed by Jia Heng have grown vigorously.
Zijuan came closer and asked curiously: "What is the girl sighing for?"
As a maid who grew up with Daiyu, she has long been aware of Daiyu's sentimental temperament.
Daiyu's pink lips parted slightly, and she said in a quiet voice: "Brother Heng is back, and Lun Gong didn't say a few words when he came back."
In fact, this is not only Daiyu's feeling, others may have similar feelings.
It's lively, but everyone's customized emotional needs cannot be satisfied.
Zijuan chuckled lightly and said: "Grandma Heng has just become pregnant, so she will stay with her closely. When she has a child in the future, I will definitely pamper her to heaven."
When Daiyu heard this, she felt ashamed and said angrily: "What are you talking about? Why are you having a baby?"
When I think of her giving birth to a child for him with her big belly, ah, this... I am so embarrassed that I can't help myself.
Zijuan smiled. The girl obviously liked hearing these embarrassing words from her, but...
Zijuan said softly: "The uncle has just come back and everything is complicated. He should come to see the girl tomorrow."
Under Daiyu's misty eyebrows, her starry eyes were like dew. She was stunned for a moment and said softly: "I know."
Zijuan asked in surprise: "How can the girl return it?"
"I mean, there will be so many people in the future... Brother Heng will accompany them, so there will be less time to go to Xiaoxiang Pavilion. After Princess Xianning and Sister Chanyue come, there will be no time." Dai.
Jade feels as if she has lost her way.
Zijuan comforted her and said, "Girl, you can't think like that. The uncle is usually busy, but he comes to accompany the girl whenever he has time. The uncle seems to like the girl very much."
"I know." Daiyu said softly while staring at the bright moonlight outside the window with soft eyebrows.
Thinking of that man's usual fascination with her own body and the scenes of pleasing each other, Daiyu's heart was filled with embarrassment and a trace of longing appeared in her starry eyes.
Daiyu said: "He has made such a great contribution this time, so the princess and the princess granted him a marriage. I don't know when the marriage will be granted to me and Sister Bao in the future."
Zijuan said: "The girl is actually fine. Some time ago, I heard that my aunt thought that this marriage gift was for Miss Bao. The nuns in the house have been talking about it in private these days. My aunt is worried about this matter."
have to."
Daiyu raised her little palm-sized face and said softly: "Sister Bao's incident is indeed a pity."
Originally, for this merit, even if they were given a marriage and married in both Rongning and Ningfus, it would be enough, but Princess Xianning and Sister Chanyue.
"Girl, when the uncle is no longer busy, he will definitely come over to talk to the girl. If the girl has any worries, just tell him." Zi Juan said with a slight smile.
Daiyu said "Yeah", sighed softly, and said, "But when will he stop being busy?"
These days I have been busy with the wedding of the princess and the princess, and I can no longer accompany her as I did in Jiangnan.
Zijuan: "..."
Looking at Zijuan's speechless eyes, Daiyu herself couldn't help laughing, and chuckled. Under the light, her starry eyes seemed to be shining like stars, and her soft and fair face was as bright as snow, and she whispered softly.
He said: "He is now a third-class Duke, in charge of the world's military affairs, and is so busy that he never touches the ground. I know that, and I don't want to stick to him all the time."
This is her lover, an unparalleled hero.
Although Daiyu sometimes doesn't care much about this, Mu Qiang is the nature hidden in women's genes.
Many times it is because there is no better option under the current circumstances.
Zijuan chuckled and said, "Don't worry, girl. I always treat girls like treasures."
Daiyu pursed her pink lips, her face was lost for a moment.
At this moment, Xiren entered the house with a basin of water for washing feet, and said with a slight smile on his face: "But the girl is different. The girl's marriage is about uncle Heng holding the title of Duke of the country.
The son is a spoiler to the girl, and the children are all named Lin. For such a big prince, for the sake of the girl, at that time, even outsiders would say that he was marrying into the Lin family."
Jia Heng's original intention was to use his position to promote Daiyu, of course, provided that Qin Keqing and others had no objections.
Daiyu was said to be shy and sweet, and said softly: "That also needs an opportunity."
This time it was Nanu Chief Taiji who was killed by bombing. This kind of achievement was really shocking, so the palace showed special favor. I wanted to pray to the palace for a marriage, but I don’t know when.
While the master and servants were talking, Daiyu washed up and lay down on the bed to rest, caressing her white lamb, her mind drifting away for a while.
I don’t know how grand and grand the marriage to Sister Chanyue will be. When she gets married...
Thinking of this, Daiyu felt a little sad again, but then she looked forward to meeting that person tomorrow.
Rongguo Mansion, the courtyard where Sister Feng lives——
A white, soft and slender hand removed a lampshade, and when it was lit with a candle, the glowing candlelight spread across the entire hall like water.
Sister Feng sat down, her crooked eyelashes trembled slightly, and a flash of surprise flashed in her eyes. She wiped a layer of sweat on her white and greasy neck with a handkerchief, and said softly: "Ping'er, you
Are you saying that Sister-in-law Erzhu is a little weird now?"
She always felt that something was wrong. She patiently observed her for a while during the dinner and found that Sister-in-law Zhu didn't speak much, but her face was red, and when she raised her eyes from time to time, she looked shy and charming.
Ping'er took a copper basin of hot water from Caiming's hand, handed it over, and asked without knowing why, "Grandma, what's so weird about this?"
Sister Feng's frown slightly relaxed, her pink lips closed slightly, and she said, "I can't tell."
How to put it, it's like a tree that has been withered for a long time has been watered, and the dead wood is revived by spring.
But...how is this possible?
He quickly dispelled the suspicion in his heart and thought to himself, maybe Langeer was praised by the teacher in the school.
Ping'er changed the subject and said with emotion: "Grandma, uncle is really amazing. I remember back in Liutiao Hutong, I was bullied by Uncle Zhen because of Grandma Heng's matter, and I went to Rongqing Hall to seek explanation from the old lady. Now I just
In just three or two years, he became the Duke of the country, with a high position and great reputation."
Sister Feng said softly: "At that time, I saw that he was not someone who had lived under others for a long time."
The stern young face seemed to appear in front of his eyes, tossing himself over and over, not to avenge his original revenge, right?
It’s no wonder that Sister Feng still remembers the mistake of sleeping in her best friend’s bed that day, because it was indeed an unprecedented in-depth communication.
True to that sentence, one night when Sister Feng and Jia Heng were together was happier than two or three years after they got married.
Sister Feng's cheeks turned red without realizing it. She quickly dispersed the distracting thoughts in her heart and casually changed the topic and said: "If this is the Duke's Mansion, it should be said that the palace should build a Weiguo Mansion. Why didn't the palace talk about this?
?”
Ping'er said softly: "I don't know about this, but if the Duke's mansion is built by decree, Uncle Heng will probably not live in it, and it will not be convenient for the two sides to travel."
"That's the truth." Sister Feng nodded, and Danfeng's eyes flashed, and said: "I mean, if you count the Ningguo Mansion, the Princess of Xianning should be the one to live here."
"Grandma, I have my own princess mansion, so I probably won't come here to live there." Ping'er lowered his head to remove Sister Feng's shoes and socks and said softly.
"That's right. At that time, everyone in the mansion was used to her, but she felt uncomfortable. Her princess mansion was built on Xinglong Street, just a few steps away around the corner." Sister Feng said with a light smile, and soon her gorgeous face slightly changed.
After a pause, he whispered again: "Ping'er, we have to go to Dongfu to discuss the matter of ancestor worship."
Ping'er's subordinate paused and said "Hmm" softly. He didn't want to say more. Was he going to worship his ancestors? She was too embarrassed to reveal it.
Sister Feng's eyes were distant, and she felt that her mind was far away.
She didn't know what she was waiting for in her heart.
…
…
Nan'an County Prince's Mansion
The night falls, the lights are as bright as day, and the shadows of people in the study are longing.
Nan'an County Prince Yan Ye was sitting on the Grand Master's chair in the hall, with a gloomy face and a steaming tea cup next to him.
The next few middle-aged people who looked like military attachés also had gloomy expressions on their faces.
It was Liu Fang, Shi Guangzhu, Chen Ruiwen, Ma Shang and others, as well as Mu Sheng, the crown prince of Dongping County.
Compared to the joyful atmosphere in Ning and Rong's palace, the atmosphere in the Nan'an County Prince's Palace is a bit gloomy.
Jia Heng was granted the title of Third-Class Duke of Guards, and was given the opportunity to marry the emperor's daughter and the daughter of the clan. How much more honor was this than his peers? Even though several people had already married, there was usually no shortage of women, but there was still some feeling in his heart.
Crazy with jealousy.
Liu Fang said: "Your Majesty, according to the Ministry of Rites, the prisoners will be presented to the Ancestral Temple tomorrow, and the people in the capital will watch the ceremony together tomorrow."
Not only the heads of Huang Taiji, but also the heads of Dege and Jurchen Zuoling and above, as well as some captured Han army flag generals, will appear on that day.
Shi Guangzhu frowned and said coldly: "Uncle Shi, we can no longer tolerate that person getting bigger."
The prince of Nan'an County said: "Yes, he is now in charge of the northern border affairs, and we are gradually sitting on the bench. If things go on like this, this big man will only have the army of the Jia family, no more troops of the imperial court, and no military honors of the founding of the country like us."
gain a foothold."
When Liu Fang heard this, a trace of viciousness flashed in her eyes, and she lowered her voice and said: "Your Majesty, it is better to spread this heart-wrenching theory like this, and arouse the suspicion of the people in the palace. That will be the fatal blow."
, just say that he has cultivated party members in the army and is a relative, so I am afraid that he will commit treason in the future."
"It's not that simple." Prince Nan'an shook his head and said softly: "Now he has not reached the point where he has achieved great success, but I look at the civil servants in the cabinet and seem to be dissatisfied with Wu Xun's actions.
Da, if there is a war in the future, I should be able to restrain my son and not allow him to make meritorious deeds."
Ma Shang frowned and thought deeply, and said: "What Shibo said is true. According to my opinion, not only the civil servants, but also the palace granted marriage to suppress the momentum, so as to prevent Duke Wei's lineage from becoming too powerful."
As the Prince of Nan'an County spoke, he looked at Mu Sheng, the Crown Prince of Dongping County, who was sitting not far away, drinking tea, and asked: "Nephew Mu, what do you think?"
Mu Sheng straightened his face, looked at Prince Nan'an with burning eyes, and said, "Uncle, my nephew is unhappy about something he has not said."
When the Prince of Nan'an County heard this, his heart moved slightly and he said, "My dear nephew, it doesn't matter if you say so."
In fact, I have vaguely guessed what the prince of Dongping County wants to say, because every time when the prince of Nan'an County discusses Jia Heng together, he always talks about the childishness on the left and the childishness on the right, and his words and attitude are quite disrespectful.
Mu Sheng said seriously: "Since we are ministers in the same palace, why do we need to fight to the death? Now that the Donglu are still in trouble in the north, it is the time to work together to help each other. Since the Duke of Wei is capable, we will follow the general trend and if we can wipe out the Dong
Captives can also lay the foundation for the great Han Dynasty for all eternity."
He really couldn't understand that since Duke Wei was the perfect candidate to deal with the Donglu bandits, why should he go against the general trend and do everything possible to fight against them.
Liu Fang frowned and said: "What Brother Mu Xian said, we were originally divided into generals as part of our duty. Isn't it that Jia Heng's son forced us to do it today?"
Chen Ruiwen said: "Although my son is from Rong Ning's lineage, he seems to be one of the four princes and eight princes, but starting from the Zhenguogong lineage, he has always had conflicts with us and other founding heroes. He stepped on us and other founding heroes.
"
"Well said." Ma Shang praised and said: "Originally, we could still intervene in the personnel affairs of the Beijing camp, and even the Ministry of War had to give in three points, but now that the Laoshizi Military Aircraft Department has been established, we are all excluded from military affairs.
, we have been idle for a while, the military position is the foundation of our martial arts, and this kid is going to destroy our foundation."
Seeing this, Mu Sheng sighed.
At this time, the prince of Nan'an County said: "My nephew's heart is as bright as the sun and the moon, and I know it, but does my nephew think that even if I don't confront my son, the palace will be happy to see it? I'm afraid it will make me even more suspicious."
"It has long been the same as fire and water." Liu Fang said coldly.
When Mu Sheng heard this, he sighed, stood up, and said: "My nephew really disagrees with what the uncle said. When my nephew came to Beijing, my father repeatedly told me that the Mu family has been burdened by the kindness of the world and now in Beijing."
The captives are raging, and I should go to Beijing this time to serve the country. Since the Duke of Wei has fought against the captives, he has won many battles. He even killed the slave chief with the red barbarian cannon, which greatly increased the prestige of our Han Dynasty. My nephew believes that sincerity cannot be abandoned due to selfishness.
Official business.”
After saying that, he cupped his hands and said, "It's getting late, my nephew, I'll take my leave first."
With that said, he turned and left.
"Huh? Him?" Liu Fang frowned and said, "What does he mean?"
"If you don't agree, you won't agree with each other." Prince Yan Ye of Nan'an County put down the tea cup in his hand and sneered: "This kid Jia Heng managed to achieve a great feat with the help of Western Yi firearms. Now people's hearts have been shaken."
Shi Guangzhu said: "Shibo, after all, young prince Mu is young and has experienced little. He doesn't know that people's hearts are sinister. People have no intention of harming tigers, but tigers are harmful to people's hearts."
"His family comes from Yunnan, and his title is hereditary. Naturally, he won't worry about having the power of the Commander-in-Chief of the Fifth Army taken away." Liu Fang said sarcastically with a cold look in his eyes.
Nan'an County Prince Yan Ye waved his hand and said: "Okay, let's not mention him. We have been friends with Dongping County Prince Mu's family for several years. Young people just don't know etiquette."
Everyone stopped talking, but there was a thick layer of gloom in their hearts.
Because this also shows how popular Jiaheng was when he held the head of the chieftain and presented it to the emperor in the first battle.
In fact, this is human hope. Although it is illusory, it does exist.
…
…
The next day, the sky was bright, and golden morning rays shone through the glass windows on a Persian wool carpet, and fine golden light fell on the carpet.
The nights were short and the days were long in summer. Jia Heng woke up and turned around, looking at the beauty who was sleeping soundly beside her. He carefully lifted up the quilt, picked up the clothes with gentle hands, and went to the outer compartment to start dressing.
Pregnant women are already sleepy, so it’s better to let Keqing sleep a little longer.
After Jia Heng got dressed, he walked out of the wing, walked along the corridor to the wing, and called Qingwen to come over and help wash up.
Qingwen handed over the towel and asked, "Where will you go, Master?"
"In the Imperial Ancestral Temple, at midnight, the palace led all the civil and military officials to the Imperial Ancestral Temple to watch the prisoner presentation ceremony." Jia Heng said in a low voice.
Because Huang Taiji's head and related prisoners of war were used to boost morale.
Jia Heng wiped his hands, finished the meal briefly, and said, "Qingwen, get my python robe."
It is worth mentioning that since Jia Heng was promoted to the title of Duke, the embroidery pattern on the python suit has been changed from walking python to sitting python, the latter is undoubtedly more noble.
After Jia Heng put on the python suit and left the back house, he saw the heroic girl in the flying fish suit, who had been waiting for a while.
Chen Xiao stared at the young man with clear eyes and said, "Jinyi Mansion detectives have been sent to Qinghai to strengthen the investigation."
Jia Heng nodded and said, "It's better to prepare in advance so that you can clean up the mess."
If the northwestern Mongolia and various factions were in chaos, then the court officials would probably not let him lead the troops. If the Nan'an County King was defeated like in the original work, he would still be left to clean up the mess.
As they spoke, the two got on their horses and headed to the Ancestral Temple surrounded by a group of royal guards.
At this moment, the inner guards and the Jinyifu guards were already on both sides of the street in Taimiao Front Street, standing guard every five steps and ten steps with swords. The Wucheng Soldiers and Horses Division also dispatched patrolling street soldiers to suppress the ground and pull up.
A long cordon of hemp rope was drawn up.
Because Chen Han won a great victory and the slave chiefs were crowned, the people in Shenjing City were excited when they heard about it, and they all came to watch this grand prisoner presentation ceremony.
It is human nature to watch.
At this moment, under the pale yellow canopy, Emperor Chongping, dressed in a bright yellow dragon robe, stood in front of the white marble square in front of the Imperial Ancestral Temple with the civil and military officials of the Han Dynasty, without ever entering the Imperial Ancestral Temple.
The Supreme Emperor was also standing on the viewing platform on the left, and the Chen Cheng, King of Qi County, Chen Qin, King of Chu, Chen Ran, King of Wei, Chen Wei, King of Liang, and other members of the Chen and Han clans were all watching the ceremony.
At this moment, Jia Heng, surrounded by a group of royal guards, walked to the military attachés who were whispering to each other.
At this moment, the ceremony of offering prisoners has not yet begun, and the civil and military officials are still waiting patiently.
"The Duke of Wei is here."
Among the crowd watching the ceremony from a distance on both sides of the street, some who knew Jia Heng when his class teacher returned to Beijing yesterday, exclaimed.
Then, there was a burst of whispers filled with envy and jealousy.
The emperor's daughter and the clan's daughter marry together, what kind of unparalleled blessing is this?
The faces of Prince Nan'an, Liu Fang, Shi Guangzhu and others were as gloomy as ice, and they seemed out of place with the excited and solemn civil and military officials and people of the Han Dynasty.
"Your Majesty has decreed that Duke Wei will bring the generals who have served in the Northern Expedition to come to the temple to pay homage." At this time, an eunuch walked quickly over and shouted in a sharp voice.
When Jia Heng heard this, he didn't say much, and led the military attache from the Northern Expedition along the paved red carpet towards the front street of the Imperial Ancestral Temple. At this moment, both sides of the street were filled with bustling people, looking up and down.
"That's Duke Wei? So young?" A young man with a blue scholar's scarf on his head said in surprise.
A young man wearing a blue silk shirt said with a smile: "Brother, I don't know. This Duke of Wei is not yet twenty years old, so he is considered to be the chosen general."
At this moment, Jia Heng entered the gate of the Taimiao Temple under the gaze of all the generals. He quickly came to Emperor Chongping, bowed to the middle-aged emperor, and said: "Jia Heng, the last general (Xie Zaiyi, Pang Shili, Cai Quan...
) I have seen the Holy One, long live, long live, long live.”
As the black crowd of generals saluted, the shouts of "Long Live the War" were deafening.
Emperor Chongping looked at the generals, with admiration in his eyes, and praised: "Well, they are all my big men. Well, they are flat."
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Along with the sound of thanks, all the generals stood up one after another.
Emperor Chongping looked solemn and said in a low voice: "The Ministry of Rites, play music, Duke Wei is with me."
Although he is not of Chen Han blood, he is still a relative and his son-in-law.
Jia Heng cupped his hands and said, "I thank you, Your Majesty."
At this moment, King Chen Qin of Chu looked at the young man in the python suit with a calm demeanor, and there was a surge of envy in his eyes. Ziyu was really on his way, and he would go to his house to visit him in two days.
Prince Qi's chubby hands were clenched tightly involuntarily, his small eyes squeezed into mung beans by his flesh shone coldly, and he snorted coldly in his heart.
There have been rumors in the palace in the past few days. He has worked diligently in supervising the construction of the imperial mausoleum and escorting grain and fodder. The prince's title will be restored again and he will settle accounts with Jia Heng's son in the future.
Jia Heng came close to Emperor Chongping and said, "Your Majesty."
Emperor Chongping smiled and said, "The Emperor will see you later today."
When Jia Heng heard this, his expression paused and he said, "This..."
"Just meet and talk normally. You are my son-in-law, we are a family." Emperor Chongping said: "This battle you fought has greatly increased the prestige of the Han Dynasty and wiped away the national humiliation. The Emperor feels a little bit about this."
Jia Heng secretly thought that he was also the son-in-law of the Supreme Emperor, but naturally he could not say this. Instead, he said softly: "The minister will meet the Supreme Emperor later."
The emperor's statement that he was the emperor's son-in-law was also a hint of his status. It can only be said that some precautions were deeply ingrained in the emperor's heart.
Jia Heng no longer thought about it. As the chime bells used for sacrificial rituals rang out, a solemn and solemn atmosphere silently overflowed. Emperor Chongping also led Jia Heng to the Ancestral Temple, while the officials of the Han Dynasty came to the Ancestral Temple.
Enter according to the grade.
It was just like the last victory in Jiangnan, but it was more grand and grand.
Seeing the young man walking beside Emperor Chongping, the eyes of some civil servants became even more gloomy.
Jia Heng followed Emperor Chongping to the Ancestral Temple and held the heads of Huang Taiji, Dege Lei, Adali and other captive kings.
At this moment, there is a special guest on the viewing platform not far away. It is Daishan's son Shuo Tuo. He was originally detained in Shenjing due to peace negotiations. As a Jurchen "guest" at the viewing ceremony, he is looking at the ceremony with resentful eyes.
