Jia Heng put down the tea, replaced Qingwen's embroidered purse, and left the room. He smiled and nodded at Qingwen who followed him, and walked out the door without saying anything.
After a brief exchange of words with the eunuch, he took the horse's reins from an internal guard and galloped towards the Daming Palace.
On this day, he deserves a word of luck.
How many times have I run back and forth? I heard that Emperor Chongping’s internal guards are all over the capital. Isn’t it possible that he can’t be seen?
"Emperor, I hope you won't disappoint me."
Jia Heng looked at the majestic imperial city in the distance and thought.
In less than ten years of this prosperous age, troubled times are coming. The king chooses his ministers, and the ministers also choose their king!
If Emperor Chongping asked him to do everything he could, but he didn't exert any "subjective initiative", then he would be... disappointed.
Daming Palace
Emperor Chongping drank a cup of fragrant tea, looked at the memorial table on the imperial desk, and thought repeatedly about how to arrange Jia Heng.
"This son has great talent, has the idea of innovation and reform, and it is rare that he is loyal to the country and does not care about fame and fortune. It was careless to allow him to inherit the title and share the power of the Jia clan." Emperor Chongping also began to reflect at this moment. The previous move was somewhat inappropriate.
It may push the young man to the forefront and slander him.
In fact, he had worries deep down in his heart that he was not aware of at the time. This son was too smart, even at such an old age... Therefore, he subconsciously wanted to seize the Ningguo title as a gift and keep it for the future. Clamp the back hand.
The heart of an emperor is unfathomable, the abyss is as deep as the sea. Even if Emperor Chongping admired Jia Heng that day, he would subconsciously have the idea of manipulating and controlling him.
"You can't blame me. This son was in the Daming Palace that day. Even though he was discussing the situation of the court, I almost had an illusion. If he didn't put some restrictions on him..." Even if the emperor bowed to reflect on himself, he would soon forgive him. Own.
"In that case, regardless of the title, we can give him something as a reward. As for Ningguo Mansion..." Emperor Chongping remembered Dai Quan's words "Before he seizes the title, he will divide the wealth and goods." In his heart, he was deeply concerned about the life of the Jia clan There was a feeling of boredom and a cold feeling in his heart: "When the grace is gone, the property should be sealed up until a virtuous person can take it."
Emperor Chongping was thinking, and suddenly the inner prisoner outside the Daming Palace came into the palace lightly, "Your Majesty, Jia Heng is here."
"Xuan."
Emperor Chongping's expression returned to calm.
Not long after, Jia Heng followed the inner prisoner into the Daming Palace again. With a calm expression, he saluted the middle-aged emperor behind the case.
"Jia Heng, a common man, has seen the Holy One. Long live, long live, long live." Jia Heng saluted and said in a clear voice.
"Pingshen." Emperor Chongping's eyes were much gentler, but his expression was somewhat complicated.
Jia Heng said: "Thank you, Your Majesty."
"I have already read the resignation letter that you asked Dai Quan, your servant, to submit. I didn't expect Ziyu to have such great ambitions. He would not be grateful to his ancestors and would take fame and fame for himself. I am relieved." Emperor Chongping pondered for a moment and slowly Xu said.
Jia Heng cupped his hands and said, "Young Master Heng has done something wrong, which has put the Holy One in a difficult situation."
As he said this, Dai Quan, who was waiting with his head lowered, suddenly trembled and his eyes widened.
Good fellow, your majesty used the word "yu" in one sentence to show his affection. You, Jia Ziyu, climbed up the ladder and lived directly as your son and nephew. How dare you embarrass your majesty?
This is simply saying...
"If it hadn't been for the resignation just now, the Za family would have thought he was a sycophant." Dai Quan glanced sideways at the young man.
I originally thought that this young man was one of those people who clings to talent and is arrogant and incapable of adapting to changes.
Sure enough, the imperial indifference that Emperor Chongping managed to maintain in the end all disappeared, as if he was remembering the words of the young man in "Cijue Biao", "Heng is the same age as Emperor Jianzuo Gaiyuan, and the emperor's father is above, and I can see Heng's talent..."
A pair of majestic eyes gradually became a bit gentle, and he said: "Yes, the imperial edict has been made public at home and abroad, and it has been sent to all provinces in the form of a copy. You have posed a problem for me."
Listening to Emperor Chongping's words, Dai Quan was inexplicably shocked.
Jia Heng's expression was silent. He raised his head and hesitated to speak. Then he showed a hint of confusion and said, "Your Majesty, can't this matter be changed?"
When he was writing the resignation letter in the Qin Mansion, he suddenly realized this problem when he was humiliating himself. When he met the emperor for the first time, he left an impression of being too strong on the emperor. Even though he discussed the history with the emperor, his face did not change. .
Is this something an ordinary teenager can do?
The emperor appreciates and appreciates him, but it is difficult to have a close trust in him. He must treat him as a monarch and his ministers, without any trace of humanity.
Holy Family, there are also different types of things.
In some cases, in the eyes of the emperor, the official is a capable minister, such as a few cabinet ministers. Although they consult on state affairs, they only have the righteousness of a monarch and a minister, but no feeling of trust.
After all, I still have to show weakness.
Seeming to see the confusion in the young man's eyes, Emperor Chongping smiled softly and said: "It's not that there is nothing we can do, but when I am employing people, what do you think? There are no outsiders here, you can Make your heart clear to me."
When Jia Heng heard this, his heart moved and he thought to himself, this is so damn like a human saying.
It is true that when he faced the saint, he risked his life and property, and even spoke of reform, was forced by Emperor Chongping.
You are giving me a title, do you want to ask my opinion?
Even asking politely?
Later generations of leaders will also ask their subordinates when arranging work. This is the way to win people's hearts.
But the previous emperor treated him as a chess piece that could be manipulated at will.
Aren't you smart?
You can't guess my intention.
What?
Some people in the Jia clan are dissatisfied. With your intelligence, it is not difficult to convince people.
Hearing this, Jia Heng's face showed tears of gratitude at the right time, and said: "Your Majesty, the common people have said before that they will not be grateful to the ancestors, but will get their own fame! Whether it is to become an official through the imperial examination or to abandon the pen and join the army, I dare not to exhaust my mind. , to serve the country?"
Emperor Chongping nodded and said: "If you don't be grateful to your ancestors, you will get your own fame. This is what the Han Dynasty should be like after its martial arts."
Jia Heng said with emotion: "The common people have decided to take the county examination this year, hoping to one day become the emperor's disciple."
When Emperor Chongping heard this, his expression changed, his eyes became gentler, and he said: "With your talent, it is not difficult to become an official through the imperial examination, but..."
It’s just that I want to use your talents now.
But Emperor Chongping would naturally not say such words. After thinking about it, he felt that it might be more appropriate to use a roundabout way of saying it.
He was about to speak, but after thinking about it, he thought it was inappropriate, so he winked at Dai Quan. Seeing that the old slave was lowering his head and pretending to be dead, not knowing what he was doing, he couldn't help but snorted coldly.
Dai Quan's expression changed, he understood the emperor's intentions, he was plotting state affairs. He took a deep look at Jia Heng, waved his hand, and led the palace maids and eunuchs to retreat slowly.
"You seemed to have unfinished words about what you were doing when you were preparing to prepare your armor." After the palace maids and eunuchs had retreated, Emperor Chongping looked at Jia Heng aggressively, and without waiting for an answer, he added, "I want to sort it out." Military Jingwu is in line with what you said before, but...the capital camp has been sparse for a long time and cannot be used for great purposes. The four princes and eight public servants all occupied important positions. I asked you to attack the lord before, with the intention of upgrading the army."
Jia Heng frowned and said: "Your Majesty, common people dare to ask, if Heng attacks a noble, what will your Majesty do to Heng?"
"At that time, you were the head of the Jia clan, and you and Wang Ziteng could divide the old generals and generals of the Jia clan in the capital." Emperor Chongping pondered for a moment, and after thinking about it, he was honest.
Of course, apart from the Jia family who were unaware of what Emperor Chongping was currently doing, the Four Kings and Eight Gongs and the Wuxun Group all sensed a potential crisis.
As for Emperor Chongping, since he wanted to use Jia Heng's wisdom, he obviously couldn't even tell the details of the situation.
Jia Heng cupped his hands and said: "Your Majesty, this is a brilliant strategy, but the troops in the Beijing camp are no longer useful. Why doesn't your Majesty start a new one, eliminate the old troops in the Beijing camp, and then train a new army?"
Emperor Chongping frowned, his eyes flashed, and said: "Training a new army again?"
Jia Heng said in a clear voice: "Your Majesty, during the time of the Han Dynasty, Emperor Wu was training Yulin Jingqi in the Jianzhang camp. The Han Dynasty has been showing its power outside the borders for hundreds of years. Your Majesty, your Majesty allowed the common people to overestimate their own capabilities. I would like to express my sincere words, The Holy One wants to bring peace to the world, but since he feels that the four kings and eight princes cannot be trusted, why not choose another elite soldier in the world to guard the world and serve as the claws and claws of eagles and dogs?"
These words are truly from the bottom of my heart.
"Organizing and training the new army is not easy. Not to mention the problem of money and food, the generals have no capable people..." Emperor Chongping's eyes deepened, and he felt a little moved in his heart. However, this matter is not easy to do, and there are many obstacles, such as heavy The Supreme Emperor of Hua Palace...
Emperor Chongping was silent for a moment and said in a deep voice: "To eliminate the old and weak in the capital camp, do you know how to control your whole body and restrain yourself? Otherwise, I will not let you seize the title."
Jia Heng knew that this was because Emperor Chongping did not know the benefits of recruiting new soldiers and was still hesitant, but in fact the emperor was already moved.
No one can refuse to have an army that is absolutely loyal to them.
Loyalty is not absolute, it is absolutely disloyal.
Under the four kings and eight princes, the loyalty of the Beijing camp to the emperor was obviously not absolute.
Nowadays, the political situation is in limbo. As the original work of "Dream of Red Mansions" said, when the Supreme Emperor leaves, the Rongning and Ning mansions will confiscate their families and exterminate their clans. The four kings and eight princes will all be harmed, and all will be prosperous.
Now, he is actually not in a hurry, he is just planting a seed in the emperor's heart.
