Jia's Ancestral Hall
Just as everyone left their seats, a servant suddenly ran out of the front yard. Out of breath, he entered the courtyard where the ancestral hall was and shouted:
"Old lady, madam, someone from the palace has come to deliver the order."
When the Jia family members in the ancestral hall heard this, they sat up and looked at each other in shock.
Jia She's face pondered for a moment, as if he was a little confused. He remembered that there shouldn't be any decree in the palace at this time.
The Prince of Beijing just said last night that he would go to the palace to see the Supreme Emperor this afternoon. The Prince didn't even go. How can the results be obtained so quickly?
With Jia Zhen being imprisoned for questioning, Ning Rong and the Second Mansion knew that abandoning Jia Zhen was a foregone conclusion. If they did not cut off Jia Zhen quickly, the title in the East Mansion of the Jia clan would really not be preserved.
Seeing that everyone was stunned, Jia Zheng frowned and said loudly: "The Holy One has decreed, what are we doing in silence? How can we be a minister by neglecting and procrastinating?"
As soon as these words came out, everyone turned around and headed outside.
Jia Zheng looked at Jia Mu, bowed and said, "Mother, please go first."
Jia Mu nodded, unable to hide the tiredness on her face, and whispered: "Mandarin duck."
Yuanyang quickly stretched out his hand to help Jia Mu.
As Jia Mu stood up, Li Wan, Sister Feng and others all headed outside with cheers.
Jia Rong's face changed slightly, as she thought of a possibility, her eyes could not help but be filled with joy, but it was quickly hidden.
However, she was still noticed by Sister Feng on the side. There was a trace of thoughtfulness in the charming Danfeng's eyes, and she secretly suppressed the matter in her heart.
But he said that Dai Quan had not arrived for a long time, his face was ashen, and he sneered and said: "My father-in-law has been waiting for a long time. Where have all the people from the Jia clan gone?"
At this time, a servant said: "Sir, we are all in the ancestral hall."
Dai Quan said: "Lead the way."
The servant wanted to say something, but he was glanced at coldly by a guard who was leading the way.
After a while, they arrived at the courtyard where the ancestral hall is located. At this moment, everyone in the Jia clan was walking out of the ancestral hall. They were all frightened when they saw the leader, the father-in-law in Chinese clothes.
Dai Quan had a stern face, narrow eyes, and a sharp, feminine voice with a bit of frightening surliness as he said, "It makes the Za family easy to find."
These words fell into the empty and quiet courtyard, which shocked people.
Dai Quan was not only in charge of the internal prison of the Daming Palace, but also in charge of the internal police department. Although he was not directly in charge of executions, he also had a sinister aura that was neither angry nor powerful.
The sun sets at noon, which actually makes people in Jia's house feel chilly.
"Eunuch," under the "intimidation" of Jia She's gaze, Jia Lian stepped forward and said, "Please pass on the order."
At this time, Jia Mu was also supported by Li Wan and Sister Feng. She leaned on crutches and remained calm on her tired face. She said: "Since there is a decree in the palace, everyone in my Jia clan is here to wait for you. Father-in-law." The purpose is to come and prepare the incense case."
Dai Quan took a deep look at Jia's mother and said: "Old Fengjun, everyone from the Jia clan is here, so there is no need for the incense table. The decree concerns the succession of the Jia family's East Mansion, so I just go to the ancestral hall to receive the decree."
With that said, Dai Quan and other internal guards headed towards the Jia clan's ancestral hall.
The joy on Jia Rong's handsome face could no longer be concealed.
"Chengjue, is it Chengjue? Sure enough, the eldest master didn't lie to me." Jia Rong couldn't suppress the ecstasy in her heart, and the corners of her mouth couldn't help but curl up, but she still suppressed it and even lowered her head.
Sister Feng kept paying attention to Jia Rong's face from the side. When she saw it, her heart suddenly dawned, "Brother Rong, it turns out..."
That's right. Brother Zhen usually treats Brother Rong so hard, hitting and scolding her at every turn, and she can't stand it. Brother Rong doesn't just...
But Brother Zhen is still a father and son.
Over here, Dai Quan stood in the ancestral hall, looking at the men of the Jia clan, and thought to himself, are all the Jia clan members here? What kind of clan ritual is being held?
Dai Quan suppressed the doubts in his heart and asked directly: "Old Lord, do you have all the people in the clan?"
Jia's mother was startled for a moment, but without any doubts, she replied: "The four generations of men in Jia's family have everything they need."
Dai Quan frowned, thought for a moment, and asked, "Why don't you see Jia Heng?"
Mother Jia pondered for a moment, feeling something bad in her heart. She looked at Jia She aside, seemingly confused.
Jia She said in a deep voice: "Eunuch, Jia Heng is no longer a member of our Jia clan. He was expelled from the clan not long ago, as evidenced by the existing genealogy!"
"Expelled from membership?"
Dai Quan's expression changed, and the corner of his mouth twitched, and he said: "But Jia Heng is an imperial edict from both home and abroad. He is the head of the Ning Kingdom. He is supposed to succeed the clan leader according to the regulations. Please tell me that the Jia family clan leader has been expelled. Already?"
Jia She: "..."
Jia Mu closed her eyes and felt her vision go dark. Beside her, Li Wan and Sister Feng, who were also shocked and speechless, quickly helped Jia Mu with Yuanyang.
The head of the Jia family was expelled?
At the same time, the palace official's sharp questioning voice sounded in the courtyard of Jia's ancestral hall, falling on the ears and hearts of everyone in the Jia clan.
Jia Zheng looked depressed and said, "Father-in-law, there is some misunderstanding about this matter."
"Okay, if there is no misunderstanding, let's not talk about it for now. Everyone in Jia's family can accept the order first." Dai Quan also had a headache for a moment and interrupted Jia Zheng's explanation mercilessly.
"My wives Jia Shi and Jia Wang... received the order."
"Jia She, Jia Zheng, Jia Lian..."
"The common man Jia Dairu..."
…
…
All the men and women in the Jia Mansion knelt down and bowed their heads to listen to the decree.
"The emperor was entrusted with the destiny of heaven, and the edict said: Since ancient times, the emperors have relied on the strength of their teachers and military ministers to govern the world. The sea and the sky are restless, and the frontiers are troubled... I often think of Duke Ning's bravery and bravery, guarding the frontiers, and supporting the national society... Ning Guogong Yuyin was later to be crowned for four generations. There were unworthy descendants who cherished him before him. He committed evil and committed a crime and lost his title. However, I have not yet sympathized with his descendants. His sages said that in ancient times, the ancestors had merit and the lineage had virtues. That is to say The ancestors of my ancestors, their temples will not be destroyed... I have a son Jia Heng, who is talented and intelligent, only virtuous and virtuous, and can serve others... He is a noble of Cheng Ning Kingdom and has been granted the title of third-class Yunhui General. I admire this."
The Chen-Han State system absorbed some Wusan ranks from the Sui and Tang Dynasties and incorporated them into the title system.
For example, the third-level general Jia Zhen is his title, and the title is just a title.
Emperor Chongping apparently took away Jia Zhen's title and "transferred" it to Jia Heng unchanged.
After the imperial edict was put away, Dai Quan looked at the people in the Jia family and said, "People of the Jia family, please accept the edict."
For a moment, the people in Jia's house who were kneeling fell into an eerie silence, and then Jia Zheng's voice sounded, followed by the cry of long live the mountain.
In despair, Jia Mu was helped up by Sister Feng, Li Wan, and Yuanyang, and she murmured: "Jia Heng attacked the king? Jia Heng...how is it possible?"
Jia Rong, however, felt as if he had been struck by thunder, his face turned pale, and he pinched his thigh. He must be dreaming, it must be, why is it Jia Heng?
Jia Heng has been expelled?
Jia Qiang, who was kneeling beside her, glanced at Jia Rong with pity and sighed secretly in her heart. Ordinarily, he is the great-great-great-grandson of Ning Guo. Even if Brother Rong is not chosen, it should still be his turn...
You's jade face also showed a look of disbelief, Jia Heng? How could he attack the prince? He sent her husband to prison.
Also, if he were a knight, wouldn't he be the clan leader?
Wouldn't she, the patriarch's wife, become a rootless duckweed?
Jia She, with a gloomy face, stood up, looked at Dai Quan, and said, "Eunuch Dai, is this a mistake? Jia Heng is a branch of the Ning Kingdom, and he has been related by blood for four generations. How can he be qualified? Chengjue?"
Dai Quan sneered and said: "What Marquis Jia En said makes no sense. Although Jia Heng is a branch of Ning Guo, he is also a descendant of Ning Guo Gong. After the Holy Spirit took pity on the hero, he couldn't bear the loss of Ning Guo's title, so he specially extended the grace. Why did Marquis Jia En don't want.
"But there is Brother Rong in the house." Jia She retorted.
Jia Rong, who was being supported by Jia Qiang, was now pale and his legs were weak. Hearing this, his mind was shaken. He stood up and looked aggressively at the two people who were talking. He opened his mouth and wanted to Say something, but after all, I dare not.
Dai Quan asked: "Guan Zhen lost his title due to his crime. How can his son inherit the title? Is this a grace, or can it be negotiated? Marquis Jia En, do you know what His Majesty said in front of all the elders, the title of Han Dynasty , How can I allow you to give and receive privately? This needs to be registered in the Ministry of Rites."
Jia She was stunned on the spot, not knowing what to say.
Yes, this is grace…
Dai Quan said quietly again: "Now that the imperial edict has been issued, this is an edict that was ordered by the Holy Emperor, drafted by the cabinet, copied by six ministries, published at home and abroad, and reported to all provinces!"
This is not a book, but an edict.
Disseminate it widely at home and abroad, and tell the subjects. If this is changed, will the royal family still lose face?
Change the order overnight?
Changing heirs is like child's play?
Jia She was completely speechless, his face was gloomy, and he only had one thought in his mind, it's over...
Behind them, Jia Mu, Li Wan, and Sister Feng listened to the conversation between Jia She and Dai Quan. They also had complicated expressions and were speechless for a long time.
