After Jia Heng finished speaking, he ignored Jia She and other Jia family members and walked out of Jia's house.
Jia She looked at the back of the figure that was "walking away", his face was as gloomy as water, and there was a burning anger in his chest, and he cursed angrily: "Lawless bastard!"
At this moment, neither Jia Mu nor Sister Feng had any voice of agreement. They just looked sad and sighed.
Even Sister Feng had no cold expression on her face and her heart was heavy.
The two houses of Ning and Rong are linked together, one is prosperous and the other is damaged. If the title of Dongfu is taken away, the reputation of Jia's house is bound to plummet.
"Jia Heng..."
The sharp light in Sister Feng Danfeng's eyes flashed, and the young man's stern face could not help but appear in her mind, and she felt an indescribable emotion arise.
In the Rongxi Hall, behind the screen, Baoyu and Daiyu, Tanchun, Yingchun, Xichun and others also looked at each other in astonishment.
Even though he was ignorant of world affairs, he still felt that something big had happened. Especially when he saw Jia Mu beating her chest and stamping her feet, she felt unbearable sadness and her heart was filled with a haze.
Tan Chun's jade face paused slightly, and a trace of thought flashed between Yingxiu's eyebrows, and she said softly: "The imperial edict just now said that the title was revoked? Then the title of Brother Zhen is gone, or is the title in Dongfu gone?"
But he was keenly aware of the vagueness and ambiguity in the imperial edict.
Dai Yujuan frowned, and there was no brisk smile on her white cheeks. She held a fan in her hand and said softly: "I'm afraid I have to ask the emperor about this."
On this side of the room, Jia Lian hesitated for a moment and said: "First Master, Second Master, what is the meaning of the palace now? And what is going on with Brother Zhen's title? We still need to find out."
Jia Rong on the side heard the word "title" and not only cast her eyes towards it.
Jia Mu also reacted and said urgently: "You must not lose your title in Dongfu. I will go to the palace immediately and ask for an audience with the Queen Mother. The mandarin ducks will prepare for the royal decree soon."
As a court official, Jia Mu could naturally request to enter the palace to see the queen or the empress dowager. In the early years when the good minister was still alive, Jia Mu would often go to the palace to talk to the queen at that time.
Although the relationship between the Jia family and the palace has become somewhat estranged due to a change in the Tianjia family more than ten years ago, now that Jia's mother has entered the palace, she can still talk to each other.
Jia She's face was livid, and he was furious, and said: "I will go to the Prince's Palace in Beijing and ask someone to find out what happened to nephew Zhen."
Among the four princes and eight princes, although they are said to be of the same spirit, there are actually some closeness and distance. Among the relatives and friends of Rongguo Mansion, the one who is relatively close to Jia Mansion is Wang Shuirong of Beijing.
From the later Qin Keqing's funeral in the original work "A Dream of Red Mansions", it can be seen that Wang Shuirong of Beijing personally went to the road to pay tribute, which shows the deep friendship between the two families.
As for other families, they all asked their children and nephews to express their condolences.
Jia She immediately thought of King Beijing.
Jia Zheng looked sad, and he opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but he didn't know who he was looking for. He raised his eyes and glanced at Mrs. Wang, his heart moved, and he frowned and asked: "Baoyu, her uncle, hasn't come out yet." Is it from Beijing?"
As soon as Jia Zheng said this, Jia Mu, Jia She, and Mrs. Xing all turned their attention to Mrs. Wang.
Wang Ziteng had just been promoted to the capital of nine provinces on the same day and went out to investigate. This was a sign of great use. If he could be asked to intercede, maybe...
Mrs. Wang's face turned pale, she paused slightly as she turned the rosary beads in her hand, and said, "We are leaving tomorrow, and we are still in the house now."
Jia She said anxiously: "Brothers and sisters, we have to go to the palace and ask, what is the title about? The title passed down by the ancestors of my Jia family, although it is a descending inheritance, is still the shadow of the ancestors. Now that nephew Zhen has committed a crime and offended the Holy One, the fault lies with one person, so how can he deserve the title?"
At this moment, Jia She didn't know if he had been scolded by Jia Heng just now, and his words began to become serious, but it was obviously wrong. His title was inhumane, so how could he be innocent?
Of course, in and out of words, he was planning to abandon Jia Zhen.
Of course, by depriving Jia Zhen of her title, Emperor Chongping had actually planned to eliminate the Jia family, but he did not elaborate on this, leaving a gaping hole for suspicion.
If the Jia family and the four princes and eight princes were active for this purpose, then Emperor Chongping could use this as a condition to speed up the integration of the Beijing camp.
Jia Mu was grieving. When she heard the words, she also reacted. Her face also changed and she said: "The ancestral title cannot be lost! Brother Zhen is a useless person. We must choose someone from the clan to inherit the title. Otherwise, I will not lose the title." After a hundred years, I won’t be able to see the old prince.”
At the end of the sentence, Jia Mu looked sad again, bursting into tears, and cried: "I usually don't care about you, so you just drink and have fun. Those who marry younger wives marry younger wives, and they become more and more satisfied. Now even the ancestors have passed down the All my titles were lost."
Jia She's face darkened: "..."
On the side, Youshi, who was looking pale and weeping silently, heard that her husband had been abandoned by the clan, her delicate body trembled slightly, and her heart almost broke.
Jia Rong's eyebrows were slightly lowered, and her eyes were twinkling. Listening to this, it seems that the title can still be kept?
Mrs. Wang's expression changed, and she faced everyone's gazes and said, "I'm going to see Baoyu's uncle right now."
Jia Zheng also said: "Mother, Fu Shi must have paid his dues at this moment. My son also went to see Fu Shi."
At this time, Yuanyang walked out of the back room and said softly: "Old lady, the royal makeup is ready. Please move to change your clothes."
Not to mention that everyone in the Jia family is looking for relationships, but in the Daming Palace and the side hall.
Emperor Chongping looked indifferent, holding an imperial pen and concentrating on reviewing the memorial.
Suddenly, footsteps came from outside the palace. It was the Prime Minister of the Ming Dynasty.
^0^ Remember in one second【】
Dai Quan, holding a few pieces of paper in his hand, looked a little strange.
"You came back from Jia Mansion to convey the decree?" Emperor Chongping said calmly without raising his head, looking at the memorial attentively.
Dai Quan said: "Your Majesty, I just came back. The Jia family received the imperial edict and thanked you for your kindness. However, this servant received an interesting story about the Jia family from the inner guard."
Emperor Chongping put down the memorial, his face was indifferent, there was a bit of suspicion in his eyes, and his face showed no emotion or anger, and asked: "You slave, what's so interesting?"
Dai Quan bowed and smiled, stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, you see, this is what the internal guards just sent. The Jia family will be in Rongxi Hall this morning, and the three halls will interrogate Jia Heng."
As he spoke, he presented it with both hands.
The saint reviews the memorials, worries about peripheral matters, and has strong anger. He may be angry at him at some point.
If these interesting stories can temporarily relieve the saint's depression, he will be able to serve him well.
Moreover, it was already noon, but the saint had no intention of eating. If the queen asked, he would also be scolded. …
Emperor Chongping took a few pieces of paper, lowered his eyes to read them, and turned them over one by one. The words on them were clearly everything that happened in Rongxi Hall. The expressions and conversations of the people were almost word for word, and they appeared on the paper.
Apparently, the Jia Mansion was not only infiltrated by Prince Zhongshun's men, but was also closely monitored by spies from the Internal Affairs Bureau under Emperor Chongping.
Emperor Chongping looked at Jia Heng's words. Although his majestic face remained indifferent, there was a hint of surprise deep in his eyes. He said lightly: "This Jia Heng is clearly aware of the righteousness. He would rather break than bend. He doesn't want to be under Ning Guo. Is there such a young man?"
He certainly knew the situation of the children of the Jia family, Rong Ning and his two sons. They were all playboys, addicted to wealth and glory, and were like eagles and lackeys.
The century-old prince's house has long been in decay. Looking at the clan members, there is not a single one who can use it!
I remember when Duke Rongning led his cavalry deep into the grassland, now...
Regarding the children of the Four Princes and Eight Dukes, a few evil people have maliciously speculated in recent years, saying that because of his cruelty to the prince, he blindly re-employed civil servants and deliberately suppressed the Four Princes and Eight Dukes. This theory is completely wrong.
Nowadays, the country is troubled, and it is the time to employ people. The four princes and eight princes are the heroes of the court and the pillars of the country. They hold high positions, but they are sitting in plain clothes and cannot share the worries of the king and father.
Even if he intends to support, so what?
King Shuirong of Beijing, King Yan Ye of Nan'an County, Wang Ziteng... which one of these has he not reused?
However, the Rongning and Ningfus were so blinded by the wealth and splendor that they colluded with thieves and kidnapped women and children. Is this what a noble man of the Han Dynasty should do?
"Expelling Jia Heng from the family? I took away Jia Zhen's title, and the Jia family expelled the family in return. They only cared about relatives and secluded each other. They only looked at the interests of the clan. Where did the national laws go?" Emperor Chongping put down the letter in his hand and looked indifferent. He said coldly.
It was obviously a refutation of the Jia family's accusation that Jia Heng ignored the clan official.
Hearing this, Dai Quan lowered his head and felt a chill in his heart. He just wanted the Holy One to distract himself from worrying about side affairs, but when he looked at the Holy One, he seemed to be getting more and more angry.
Emperor Chongping pondered for a moment and said: "This Jia Heng, please let the Internal Police Department investigate."
If you have to use it... then worry about it.
Later, if the Jia family members are not known, they will enter the palace to ask for an audience with the Chonghua Palace and disturb the Queen Mother.
It is not easy to get rid of the Jia family's title.
In fact, for such crimes as colluding with bandits and kidnapping women and children, it is not persuasive enough to remove the noble.
People in the world would not say that Jia Zhen colluded with bandits and attempted murder. They would only think that the emperor was mean and ungrateful. After all, their ancestors followed Taizu and Taizong of the Chen and Han Dynasties through life and death, and they were able to earn this honor and salary with the country. Just because of collusion He was a bandit who tried to kill his clan members and even failed in his evil attempt, so he was captured by the government.
It would be too miserable if the title was taken away.
This is the subtle change in the human heart.
Dai Quan held up his hands and said with a smile, "Your Majesty, it's already noon, do you want to pass on the food to others?"
When Emperor Chongping heard this, his expression paused for a moment. He had just been immersed in government affairs and didn't realize it. Now that he was free, he really had something in his heart and said calmly: "Pass the meal."
