Entering the pavilion, Jia Heng met several glances. He first looked at Li Chanyue. There was something strange in his eyes, and he called out: "Little princess."
Then his eyes suddenly fell on the faces of Princess Chen Zhi of Xianning and the two kings of Wei and Liang, and said: "I have met several of your highnesses."
Speaking of which, this is not the first time I have met Huang Guizhou these days. I still remember the first time we met on the outskirts of the capital. At that time, you were waiting for a horse in bright clothes, and he was a white man, so he could only say goodbye to each other. Such a scene , which is only a few months away.
The two kings of Wei and Liang, who were playing chess, raised their eyes and stared at Jia Heng.
Among them, Wei Wang Chen Ran stood up first, with a fair and slightly sinister face filled with a prosperous smile, and said: "Jia Yunhui, long time no see, your style is even better than before."
Liang Wang Chen Wei, who was sitting opposite, also stood up and said: "The name of Jia Yunhui is like thunder to my ears."
Jia Heng said: "A humble name is of no concern to the prince."
A few people exchanged pleasantries and sat down to talk.
Because of Jia Heng's presence, the topic of the two kings of Wei and Liang kept extending to Jia Heng.
Princess Chen Zhi of Xianning put down the tea cup, looked at the young man opposite, and asked: "Jia Ziyu, are you still writing the Three Kingdoms dialect book? It has been several months since the first book was published."
Jia Heng said: "I was busy with the suppression of bandits some time ago, and I couldn't find time to write. During this period, I actually wrote two chapters. If this is the second part, it will be published and printed next year."
When he was supervising the army to suppress the bandits in Huayin County, he took the time to write two chapters.
When Princess Xianning heard this, her eyes lit up and she said, "Did you bring any manuscripts from those two episodes?"
Jia Heng's expression paused and he said, "I came here to celebrate His Highness Jinyang's birthday this time, but I didn't bring any manuscripts with me."
Hearing this, Princess Xianning had a look of regret on her face. She pondered for a moment and then asked with gazing eyes: "Actually, there is a follow-up plot that I would like to ask sir. I wonder what the final fate of the three heroes who fought against Lu Bu and the Marquis of Wen, Lu Bu, was like?"
Jia Heng was stunned for a moment and said with a smile: "I didn't expect His Highness to pay so much attention to Lu Bu?"
On second thought, I also felt that in the eyes of female readers, before Zhao Zilong came out, Lu Bu was indeed more popular.
Princess Xianning said in a clear voice: "Although Lu Bu has no loyal heart and is called a slave of the three surnames, he can be regarded as a hero because he alone manages Hulao Pass and has the most powerful force in the world. "
Jia Heng smiled and said loudly: "Lü Bu is brave and foolhardy and cannot be regarded as a hero."
Princess Xianning frowned, her eyes sparkling, staring at the young man opposite, and asked: "As Mr. Yijia said, who among the Three Kingdoms can be a hero?"
As soon as these words came out, not only did the little princess Li Chanyue put down the teacup in her hand, but also Wei Wang Chen Ran and Liang Wang Chen Wei all looked at the young man opposite, waiting for his words.
They also read the Three Kingdoms version several times.
Jia Heng pondered for a moment and then said slowly: "A hero has great ambitions, a good plan, the opportunity to contain the universe, and the aspirations of the world. Like Lu Bu, he is just a husband, so how can he be called a hero?"
Princess Xianning's eyes flashed, her heart was slightly shaken as she read these words, and she hurriedly asked: "Mr. Jia, Lu Bu can't be called a hero even if he fights against the eighteen princes alone, so who can be called a hero?"
Jia Heng looked at Princess Xianning and said, "In terms of heroes, there are only two heroes, Liu Xuande and Cao Mengde."
Princess Xianning was surprised and said: "Liu Bei? Cao Cao?"
Jia Heng said: "Although Liu Xuande had bad luck and had a bumpy life, he suffered repeated defeats and battles, and his determination was as strong as a rock. In the end, he won one of the three points of the world, and he was sincerely a hero. But Cao Cao pretended to attack Dong, conquered east and west, and returned home. The Central Plains was stabilized in the four battles, and Wei Wu became hegemonic, so he can be called a hero."
He liked Cao Cao's words the most: "Assuming that the country is free from loneliness, I wonder how many people in the world will be called emperors and how many will be called kings?"
Princess Chen Zhi of Xianning frowned and was silent for a moment. Curious eyes filled her eyes and she said, "If the world is divided into three parts, then why can't Sun Quan, the Lord of Wu, be called a hero?"
Obviously he didn't take it seriously that the white-faced Cao Cao was called a hero.
Jia Heng said: "Inheriting the foundation of my father and ancestors, I have to live in a corner. I am favored by my brother, but I can't take care of my family. He is mean and ungrateful, and has a jealous nature. The leader of Wu, Sun Quan, can hardly be called a hero. Of course, this is just my opinion." , Her Royal Highness the Princess can just smile."
Chen Zhi's cold jade face showed thoughts, she stared at the young man opposite and said, "I have learned a lesson."
After all, it was just casual chat, and Jia Heng didn’t go too in-depth.
The King of Wei looked at the young man who was chatting and talking about heroes with burning eyes, his heart was ups and downs, and he said: "Jia Yunhui, now the Eastern invaders are raging in the north, and my father wants to organize the army and use martial arts to fight against the Eastern invaders. Yunhui Do you know that there has been a lot of turmoil recently about the rectification of the capital camp?"
Jia Heng shook his head and said: "Now Wang Jieshuai has full authority to handle this matter. We have not been back in Beijing for a long time, so we can't tell the details yet."
Rectifying the capital camp is the most urgent matter for the imperial court, and there is nothing to talk about with these two princes. Come and see the King of Wei, just have a chat, and it does not involve any specific affairs.
King Wei's eyes flashed, he smiled, and said: "I think that Yun Hui is young and promising, and can make good decisions. If he reorganizes the capital camp in this way, he may not be able to achieve great results."
In fact, these words are praising Jia Heng.
Jia Heng plastic surgery calmed his expression and said: "Wang Jieshuai is an old man who is planning for the country. His Majesty has entrusted him with important responsibilities. I think he must be outstanding because of his extraordinary talents. I am far from qualified because of my shallow qualifications."
The emperor personally decides personnel matters, how can he discuss them randomly?
Especially in front of the two kings, he didn't talk about the issue of backhand informing, but just talked about a superficial conversation, and he wouldn't take advantage of the situation and say a few words that were detrimental to unity.
The King of Wei thought that by being "courteous to the virtuous servant", he would be favored by him, and then he would bow to him the next day. That was just being smart.
Wei Wang Chen Ran said: "Yun Hui is humble."
Seeing Jia Heng being slippery and acting like an old bureaucrat, Liang Wang Chen Wei felt displeased. He was obviously similar in age to them, but who could show him this reserved look?
He chuckled lightly and said: "Brother Wang, I just said that the Communist Party has not fought any decent battles..."
King Wei's expression suddenly changed and he scolded: "Sixth brother, what nonsense are you talking about!"
Chen Zhi, who was looking thoughtful, her narrow phoenix eyes flashing coldly, glanced at Liang Wang Chen Wei, and said coldly: "That's better than you being in the deep palace, never seeing a sword or a gun, only talking about war on paper."
Liang Wang Chen Wei was really afraid of this sister. He snorted softly and fell silent.
Princess Xianning looked at Jia Heng with her bright autumn eyes, and said with apologies in her clear voice: "Mr. Jia, the king is young and ignorant, and does not know the heights of the world. Mr. Jia has a broad mind, so please don't be the same as him."
Jia Heng looked indifferent, glanced at Prince Liang, smiled, picked up the tea cup, and said, "It doesn't matter."
But he cursed in his heart, "This kind of Tianhuang nobleman is young, energetic, and has no brains. He is far worse than the King of Qi."
The King of Qi is a hypocrite, and he seems to have made a fool of himself on the matter of Dongcheng, but he kept it secret for several years. If he hadn't caught the little braid, it's hard to say how many more years he could have kept it secret.
Moreover, with the support and courage of the Supreme Emperor, King Qi's idea of cultivating his wings cannot be wrong at all.
Otherwise, even without mentioning King Qi's concubine status, it would not work to rely solely on the favor of the Holy Heart to seize the direct descendant. There are a lot of precedents in front of him, and Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty still had a different affection for Li Tai.
Moreover, the Sacred Heart has experienced ups and downs in the decades-long process of seizing the rightful heir.
Today you guess your intention and do something to gain the Sacred Heart, and tomorrow he does something, but in the end it means that no one has done anything!
Giving out money to everyone means not giving out any money.
Kowloon seized the legitimate sons, deposed the crown prince, the fourth son, the eighth son, and the fourteenth son. In the past few decades, he did something that made Kangxi Longyan happy.
Li Tai and Li Chengqian were also loved by Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty. Who dares to say that they have not wavered in their hearts about Yi Chu?
Besides, the King of Qi did a very impressive job in the Ministry of Household Affairs and worked conscientiously to help Yang Guochang, the chief minister of the cabinet, with civil affairs. Didn't he win the Sacred Heart?
But as soon as the incident in Dongcheng came out, the Sacred Heart immediately fell off a cliff.
Sacred Heart?
When I use you, it will be very good.
Zhu Di also said, Gao Xu, work hard, the prince is often sick...
However, when it comes time to consider the issue of successor, just let it go.
In fact, what Jia Heng didn't know was that King Qi had actually made a similar promise when he helped Emperor Chongping pass the news and seize the throne, but after being swayed, he no longer believed such nonsense.
"This is the emperor. People's hearts are changeable. He can neither abandon the Holy Family nor entrust his own safety, honor and disgrace to the Holy Family, because the Holy Family will not disappear, but will move." Jia Heng picked up the tea cup beside him and thought.
Seeing that Jia Heng looked calm and unconcerned, Chen Zhiming moved his eyes slightly, intending to ease the awkward atmosphere just now, and said: "The last time I saw Mr. practicing riding and shooting in the suburbs, it was a few months ago. I don't know. If we get a chance, I'll go hunting together."
Jia Heng said: "I'm afraid I'll have to wait until spring next year, when the grass grows and the orioles fly. But I'm not very proficient in shooting. I'm afraid I'll make His Highness laugh."
Chen Zhi smiled and said: "I'm just a rough person. To be honest, my father is still open-minded. Otherwise, I don't know what others will say about someone who is so public."
Jia Heng said: "Your Majesty is sincerely a wise king. Kuang Junzi's six arts and the way of rites and archery are used to show the respect of sacrifices, the etiquette of monarchs and ministers, and the order of elders and younger ones. Your Highness is the royal daughter of the clan. She practices the holy way and sets an example for the world." There’s nothing to criticize at all.”
If you learn some martial arts and conquer the sky and the earth, you can at least become Ah Jiu instead of Zhao Fujin.
Chen Zhi blushed somewhat after being praised by Jia Heng.
Li Chanyue rolled her bright eyes and chuckled: "My sister is not only good at riding and shooting, she is also good at playing music, chess, calligraphy and painting, and by the way, she is also good at singing and dancing."
Princess Chen Zhiguazi of Xianning showed a hint of embarrassment on her face and said angrily: "Chanyue."
Li Chan Yueqing smiled and said, "What I said is the truth."
Jia Heng took a look at Princess Xianning and found that she indeed had a graceful figure and outstanding temperament. She should be able to dance.
While several people were talking, the maid outside said softly: "Princess, Your Highness, the Princess is here."
Hearing the words, several people looked up and saw a person coming out from behind the screen. She was dressed in a peach red dress and had a golden hairpin swaying. She walked towards him with a charming smile and said with a smile: "What are you talking about?"
Several people who were sitting stood up one after another and said hello to Princess Jinyang.
Jia Heng glanced at the beautiful and graceful beauty, nodded towards her, and pretended to be nonchalant.
Li Chanyue rushed forward, hugged the eldest princess of Jinyang, and called softly: "Mother."
The eldest princess of Jinyang hugged Princess Qinghe and said "Oh", then sat down beside her with a smile, and asked the two kings of Wei and Liang to sit down.
"Aunt, my mother asked my nephew to ask how you are." Wei Wang Chen Ran said with a chuckle.
The eldest princess of Jinyang nodded and said: "I didn't even plan to take care of it at first. I thanked the emperor's sister-in-law for her concern on my behalf."
Several people chatted.
Jia Heng listened with little interest until Wei King Chen Ran looked at Jia Heng aside and said, "Aunt, my nephew will open his palace next year and his destination has been decided, which is to go to the Five Cities Military and Horse Division."
The eldest princess of Jinyang heard this, smiled and said: "The Five Cities Military and Horse Department is a good place to go now. I heard that it is trying to reform the system. Jia Heng is here now. You can ask him for more advice."
After all, he is the elder of King Wei, so it is natural for him to give such advice.
Jia Heng said: "Your Highness, the Military and Horse Division of the Five Cities usually handles some trivial matters in Shenjing. It has nothing to do with the military affairs. Your Highness can go to the Yazhong first. The post of meritorious officer is temporarily vacant. Your Highness can take up the post next year. The affairs are not tiring at all, I am mainly responsible for the success of the examination."
Song Yuan, the original meritorious officer, has been recruited by him to join the army in Guoyong camp to deal with Jiyi writing and other matters.
The King of Wei's visit to the Five Cities Military and Horse Division requires a lot of effort to deal with, because it cannot be left aside and ignored, otherwise, in the eyes of the queen in the palace, it will become a perfunctory response.
"Young people like this always do things with a three-minute passion, and they are very self-sufficient. Generally speaking, they won't do trivial paperwork for a long time, and they won't do it again." Jia Heng looked indifferent, thinking.
When the King of Wei heard this, he was very satisfied, because almost all the meritorious officials were from the army and horse divisions of the five cities. He said: "I have been in the palace for a long time and have never been involved in general affairs before. I will ask Yun Hui for your advice in the future."
Jia Heng said: "Your Highness is very talented, and he is very talented in the field of general affairs. As long as you study hard, you will be able to master it very quickly."
After saying a few polite words, it was already noon before I knew it.
The eldest princess of Jinyang held a luncheon to entertain the two kings of Wei and Liang and Princess Xianning. In the afternoon, the two kings of Wei and Liang did not linger much and stood up to say goodbye to Princess Xianning.
After lunch, Jia Heng accompanied Princess Jinyang to the attic to talk.
The winter sunshine shines through the windows on the books in the attic, and the time is quiet.
"This is the reorganization of the Sanhe Gang's business in Dongcheng by the Huiheng Chamber of Commerce in the past month." The eldest princess of Jinyang took a blue-sealed book from the desk and said softly: "I forgot to tell you the day before yesterday that the Prince Zhongshun's Princess, half a month ago, she came to discuss cooperation with me, but I rejected her. In the past half month, Prince Zhongshun’s palace has started to make trouble out of nothing.”
Jia Heng sat on the huanghuali wooden chair, flipping through the books, raising his eyes and saying: "Since Her Royal Highness the Princess is helping the Holy Lord do business, how dare Prince Zhongshun be so unscrupulous?"
The eldest princess of Jinyang snorted softly and said: "This royal brother in my palace is not a good person. He is now trusted by the emperor. In order to build the imperial mausoleum, he needs to purchase vegetation and stones. Some time ago, I went to the shop under my name today and borrowed money in the name of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. This is clearly an opportunity to cause trouble. My father is old and I am a daughter, so it’s hard to say anything."
The Supreme Emperor was in his sixties and his health was deteriorating, so he naturally wanted to speed up the construction of the imperial mausoleum.
As for the imperial mausoleum, it has actually been under construction during the reign of the Supreme Emperor. Now it is led by the Ministry of Internal Affairs and coordinated by the Ministry of Works, and Prince Zhongshun is the one who supervised its construction.
Jia Heng frowned and said, "This King Zhongshun has a grudge against His Highness because of the Sanhe Gang's property in Dongcheng and because of me."
The eldest princess of Jinyang introduced him to Emperor Chongping, which must have been concealed from King Zhongshun. In addition, due to the matter of the Sanhe Gang's property in Dongcheng, old and new hatreds, it was impossible not to give the eldest princess of Jinyang some eye drops.
King Zhongshun's little tricks are quite disgusting. The purpose is to make Princess Jinyang unhappy. Of course, it doesn't matter if you spend some money. The main thing is to bully you openly and it's hard to get out of it.
Because the matter involved the construction of the imperial mausoleum by the Supreme Emperor, Princess Jinyang could not save her face. Secondly, even when she told Emperor Chongping about it, she seemed stingy.
Don't think about it, your heart will definitely be filled with panic.
The eldest princess of Jinyang looked cold and said: "When my father was young, he was advocating extravagance. After my brother succeeded to the throne, the state affairs became more and more difficult in the past two years, so he reluctantly restrained himself. But now that my father is in the palace, he is still While practicing Taoism and refining elixirs in the Chonghua Palace, he was also building a lot of underground things. Regarding this matter, the imperial brother was the son of a man and it was hard to say anything else, otherwise it would be unfilial. Instead, he told King Zhongshun to do things with heart. Beyond that, I don’t know how much corruption I have done by building the imperial mausoleum.”
Youdao is a sutra that every family has difficulty reciting.
Not only did Emperor Chongping and the Supreme Emperor not have much affection, the eldest princess of Jinyang was not favored by her mother, the Queen Mother Feng, and she had little respect for the Supreme Emperor in the Chonghua Palace.
Jia Heng thought for a while and said in a solemn voice: "If Prince Zhongshun wants to maintain such a large expense as the palace, there will definitely be corruption. I will try to check it out. Okay, don't be sulky."
As he spoke, he took the beauty's hand, sat on his lap, hugged the fragrant beauty in the red dress, and said comfortingly.
There is a detail in the original work of "The Red Mansion". King Zhongshun raised the actor Jiang Yuhan. It seems that the palace also maintained an opera troupe.
Of course, this is just the tip of the iceberg.
