Daming Palace
Jia Heng listened to Zhu Yuanmao's impeachment memorial and thought in his mind:
"As for the so-called conspiracy against me, in the eyes of the emperor, he would not think that Han Huang and I were in cahoots with each other. In fact, this level of conspiracy can hardly be called a conspiracy." Jia Heng stared intently. , I feel that the conspiracy hidden here seems a bit deep.
The main reason is that Han Huang is unpredictable.
Ordinarily, he and his son Han Hui had known each other for a long time. As his power became more and more powerful, Han Huang did not take the initiative to consolidate the relationship. This kind of style of dealing was very conscientious in the eyes of the emperor.
In fact, the Zhejiang Party led by Han Huang has always had a fatal weakness - there are no reliable side generals.
Under the tacit political understanding that whoever takes the lead in border defense will be appointed as the chief minister of the cabinet, this is the real reason why Han Huang became the minister of the Ministry of Personnel and could not be the chief minister.
"It's just that the parties are united and opposed, which is not what I want."
Jia Heng thought about this and looked up at Emperor Chongping again. He saw that although Emperor Chongping's face remained unchanged, he frowned and seemed a little hesitant.
At this moment, without waiting for the official to attack, Yang Guochang came out and said: "The prince rectified the troops in the capital camp, checked the vacancies, and eliminated the generals. Within ten months, the results were remarkable. Although the veterans did not know the soldiers, they knew very well that Things in the world often need to be vigorously pursued, and then they will decline, and then they will be exhausted. Therefore, the old minister failed to agree with Jia Yunhui's foresight. At that time, the three pavilion elders Li, Han, and Zhao were also in the palace. You should know that the old minister was It did not hinder General Yunhui’s earnest advice.”
Jia Heng secretly said, another old fox.
This is evading the important and trivializing the important. As for specifically naming Li, Han, and Zhao, it means that they are also there. They didn't say anything, and they are collectively responsible.
The palace fell into an eerie silence for a moment.
Jia Heng thought for a while and then went out to play: "My lord, Jia Heng has something to say."
Emperor Chongping's face moved slightly, and he turned to look at Jia Heng. The coldness in his eyes disappeared a lot, and he asked, "What does Jia Qing have to say?"
Jia Heng cupped his hands and said: "Your Majesty, the generals in the Beijing camp were timid and fearful of fighting in suppressing the bandits and driving away the captives, but they were extremely courageous in inciting troops to cause chaos. I have the trust of your Majesty and was awarded the Emperor's Sword. I supervised the entire army and knew it." I was in charge of the military and horse divisions of five cities, so I was given early warning. At that time, I went to the cabinet, and there were different opinions. I thought that the most urgent task was to provide compensation to the generals who suffered, so as not to delay the imperial government's military plan."
No matter what, he needed to get Emperor Chongping out of this matter.
Emperor Chongping used Wang Ziteng because Wang Ziteng was the governor of the capital camp. If he didn't need him to organize the army, who else could he use?
However, the prince was unable to bear the responsibility and caused trouble, which could only be his fault.
Emperor Chongping gave him the Emperor's Sword. Who said that Emperor Chongping didn't know people well?
This is all because Wang Ziteng is eager for quick success and Yang Guochang deceives Sheng Cong. Everything has nothing to do with Emperor Chongping.
There are different opinions, and the ministers below have to guess for themselves who interfered with the emperor's judgment.
When the ministers below heard this, some of them had strange expressions in their eyes and came out to agree.
Jia Heng was in the limelight at the moment and was almost speechless.
And Jia Heng originally told the truth. Emperor Chongping gave him the Emperor's Sword, which to some extent was a foresight.
You can't let the emperor predict the future, right?
Emperor Chongping looked calm and said: "A wise man sees danger in the invisible, and a wise man sees disaster in the future. Jia Qing knew about the military chaos in advance and warned the cabinet. If I take your words into consideration, there will be no such chaos."
This is giving steps to each other.
The image of a courteous and virtuous corporal, a wise king who corrects his mistakes immediately stood up in front of the ministers in an instant.
"I don't dare to say this as a saint." Jia Heng looked solemn and said with cupped hands: "This matter was caused by the indiscriminate military torture of Li Xun and other generals under Wang Ziteng's command, which triggered a mutiny, and the generals who were eliminated had long been resentful. I believe He said contrary to this, taking the opportunity to cause chaos, I think it is the most urgent task, and we cannot stop eating due to choking and hinder the rectification of the capital camp."
As the minister of counter-rebellion, he gave this incident a characterization and suppressed it to a certain extent, but it would not destroy the good situation created now.
As for Yang Guochang, the chief minister of the cabinet, although he has not been dealt with openly this time, in fact it is impossible to be dealt with because of this matter.
After this incident, regardless of how the government and the public felt about it, the key was the opinion of Emperor Chongping.
People are like this. After they make a mistake, they will subconsciously make excuses. If you hadn't been there to disturb the audience, I couldn't have said it...
"So, this is Han Huang's bright card. Mr. Yang Ge disturbed the king's heart because of his personal enmity with me..."
Jia Heng lowered his eyes slightly, feeling that Han Huang's plan was successful, and he successfully buried the grudge on the emperor's head.
After that, Emperor Chongping was describing the rectification of the Beijing camp and the appointment of Li Zan, a cabinet scholar, to take charge of the Beijing camp, with Jia Heng assisting in military affairs.
Of course, this appointment was issued to the Sixth Section early in the morning, and there was no objection from above and below.
Emperor Chongping looked at Jia Heng and warned: "You must assist Mr. Li Ge to organize the operations of the 12th Regiment and finalize the military affairs as soon as possible."
Jia Heng cupped his hands and said, "I will definitely live up to your Majesty's expectations."
He felt that it was necessary to organize a grand military parade to give Emperor Chongping and the civil and military officials some confidence.
Emperor Chongping thought for a while and said in deep thought: "Draw up the decree and give Jia Heng the title of Commander-in-Chief of Jinyi and give him the python suit."
I had thought about conferring a title, but the ancestral rules of granting a fifth-class title meant that it would not be awarded unless it was a great contribution to the country.
Moreover, it is not the way to protect ministers if they withdraw too quickly and stir up material debate.
As for the given clothes in the Chen-Han clothing system, they are the first-grade python suit, the second-grade flying fish suit, and the third-grade bullfighting suit.
Python uniforms were only available to first-class civil and military officials, and they were divided into python and sitting python, with the latter being especially expensive.
Emperor Chongping gave Jia Heng the title of Commander-in-Chief of Imperial Guards and a python suit as a token of his favor.
Hearing this, Jia Heng's face suddenly became excited, and he bowed in a trembling voice: "I thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness."
He didn't care about giving him the title, but the title of Commander-in-Chief of Jinyi was of great significance even though it was the command of Jinyi that made him jump to the second rank.
Because he could justifiably intervene in the affairs of Jinyi Mansion. Of course, there must be the emperor's informants in Jinyi Mansion.
Therefore, now leading the Five Cities Military and Horse Division, Jinyi Mansion, and Beijing Camp One Regiment Battalion, in theory, it can even be done...
"Of course, these are all castles in the air. The five-city military commander, the imperial guard commander, and the capital camp. The front ones are all temporary dispatches and salary officers imitating the Song Dynasty, who promoted points, titles, and inspections. The real power is Guo Yong. Battalion after battalion, it can even be said that there is only my unformed new army... In short, power comes from above, and one word can be given and one word can be taken away."
Therefore, the emperor had trust in him, but he was still on guard from the emperor's instinct. And he didn't have ten years, at least not enough to cultivate a large number of party members and make people want him.
This is actually nothing.
At the beginning, Jia Dai was transformed into a first-class divine general and the military envoy of the Beijing camp. Jia Daishan was the commander-in-chief of the Chinese army. He could be said to be the best in the Chen-Han army. His disciples and former officials were all over the army. He was almost considered the first-class nobleman of the Han Dynasty, and he had not usurped the throne.
For example, the Cao Wei and Sima families also had to wait until their grandchildren. If any link went wrong during the process, they would be aborted by the coup.
"No matter how meritorious he is, he will only be promoted to a noble rank. The fifth rank is still very valuable in Chen and Han. If you have a military honor, you will be demoted to a higher rank." Jia Heng knew that this was the limit, and the emperor gave him the task. This was because he saw how useful he was. .
Also, his age is not as high as the weak crown, his foundation is shallow, and his kindness has not spread widely at home and abroad. Where can he rebel?
It can even be said that among all the civil and military officials in the dynasty, he was the one who wanted the emperor to securely sit on the throne. He would smash the head of anyone who dared to rebel.
However, this conferment of clothes and the title of Commander-in-Chief of Imperial Guards did not cause any disturbance in the court.
Wang Ziteng looked at the young man with a gloomy expression and a surge of jealousy in his heart.
When he was a first-class military attaché and gained the trust of the emperor, he had not yet been given the python uniform!
This kid Jia Heng was able to make meritorious deeds and be rewarded through his mistakes!
Wang Ziteng took a deep breath to calm down the overwhelming anger in his heart, only to feel sadness, anger and other emotions welling up in his heart.
After Emperor Chongping finished talking about this, he turned to discuss the matter of pension.
Afterwards, the court meeting was dismissed.
The civil and military ministers left the palace in twos and threes, talking about Wang Ziteng and Jia Heng on the way. As time goes by, the news that Jia Heng gave the python suit will also spread to the city of Shenjing.
Nowadays, Jia Heng is clearly one of the most popular upstarts in the Han Dynasty.
It was already late when Jia Heng left the Daming Palace.
Jia Heng didn't want to go back to his house for a while, but went to the eldest princess's house in Jinyang.
Jinyang Princess Mansion
In the backyard room, in front of the carved glass window, the beauty is dressed in light yellow palace clothes, her hair is pulled up high, and the hairpin on her heart-shaped bun is rocked by a gold hairpin. Her petite and exquisite earlobes are decorated with emerald earrings. There was a somewhat melancholy look on Yan Jian's jade face.
He was stroking a Yao Qin under his palm, and his slender jade fingers rose and fell like butterflies, as if he was a little distracted.
The eldest princess of Jinyang looked melancholy, pursed her red lips, and looked out at the snowy scene outside the window. Her bright eyes were as moist as water, and she even felt a bit resentful in her heart.
How on earth could he bear to ignore her for more than half a month?
The eldest princess of Jinyang played the Yao Qin, and her restless mood was freely revealed in the music.
Lianxue was reading a book on the side, listening to the music of the piano, put down the book, picked up a pot of tea, poured a cup, handed it over and said: "Your Highness, there is a court meeting today. Mr. Jia should attend the court meeting in the Daming Palace at the moment. stop."
The eldest princess of Jinyang frowned slightly, her face was faint, and she said softly: "That can't be a letter, not even a message. Yesterday Xiahou went to deliver a message, but he didn't even bring back a letter."
With that said, he put down the strings, caressed the white cheek with one hand, and murmured: "Lianxue, do you think he is... tired of me?"
Lianxue: "..."
How long has it been before people are tired of it?
Besides, haven’t you mixed the oil with the honey yet?
He thought to himself, Your Highness is worried about gain and loss again.
Lianxue thought for a while and said softly: "Your Royal Highness, the beauty of the country is heavenly and fragrant, and the country is beautiful. Why does Mr. Jia get tired of talking about it? I think it's just that Mr. Jia is busy with military training during this period. He leaves early and comes back late, so he has no time to come. Come, I remember Mr. Jia told His Highness before that it will be quite busy during this period."
The eldest princess of Jinyang said softly: "I don't know that he is busy with affairs, but I can't not even send a letter to make people miss him."
Lingxue's bright eyes flashed, and he hesitated: "Maybe it's... inconvenient at home?"
The eldest princess of Jinyang's beautiful face was slightly dull, and for a moment, she didn't know what to say.
Not convenient at home?
Well, that means I have a lovely wife at home, so it’s not very convenient for me to write letters.
Lianxue said softly: "The same goes for Her Royal Highness the Princess's residence. The little princess also kept a close eye on her at the beginning, but things are going much better these days."
When the eldest princess of Jinyang heard this, her face turned red with embarrassment, and she said, "This child Chanyue is very eccentric. She has been living with her cousin in the palace for the past two days."
Well, it was actually because she saw that her daughter was not around these two days that she wrote to that person.
While the master and servant were talking, the maid's voice came from outside, saying: "Your Highness, General Yunhui has come to visit Your Highness and is already waiting in the flower hall."
When the eldest princess of Jinyang heard this, her heart was filled with surprises. The gloomy look between her eyebrows disappeared in an instant, and was replaced by brightness. She got up and was about to go out to greet her. But just as she got up, she remembered something, and her bright eyes flashed with shame. Qiong snorted and said softly: "Let him wait in the inner flower hall."
She didn't go to greet him and let him ignore her for this period of time. She had to make him wait for a cup of tea.
Lianxue was speechless for a moment.
She felt that the eldest princess of Jinyang was like a girl acting coquettishly towards her lover, but she could obviously be that man's mother.
However, after a while, the maid from outside was heard coming in again and reporting: "Your Highness, General Yunhui has come to the backyard."
Princess Jinyang was stunned for a moment, frowned and scolded: "Why didn't you stop him?"
"General Yunhui said that he has something to do with His Highness, and we dare not stop him." The maid said softly.
Princess Jinyang: "..."
This noble lady clearly doesn't understand men. Once a man succeeds once, he will immediately become familiar with it, and there is almost no problem of binding his own hands and feet.
The eldest princess of Jinyang looked ashamed and annoyed, but her heart was angry and funny. She said softly: "Lianxue, go and greet him and take him to the inner study to wait while I dress up before leaving."
I thought to myself, fortunately Chan Yue is not here.
At this time, Jia Heng was already walking along the corridor, led by two maids, and walked quickly towards the inner flower hall.
For the eldest princess of Jinyang, during this period of time, firstly, he was really too busy recently, secondly, he was neglecting her intentionally or unintentionally, and thirdly, he just happened to numb the little princess Li Chanyue.
Moreover, he found that the eldest princess of Jinyang did not seem to have the tendency to take the initiative, and was vaguely resistant to closer contact.
What about being like a wolf at thirty and a tiger at forty?
Sometimes, like the little girl, I only focus on my heart, not my kidneys, and go around in a circle without getting to the main topic.
Although it was soft, white, and greasy to the touch, he was not allowed to eat it. He was already very energetic at his age, and it made people very angry every time. He couldn't get up or down, so he simply went back to quiet down.
The eldest princess of Jinyang might have thought that he was busy with military affairs at first, but he turned out to be quite calm later on?
Until yesterday, he had people guarding the street corner where the Princess's Mansion was located.
The beauty finally wrote him a letter.
At this time, there is no doubt that it is time to go and see him.
Entering the flower hall, Jia Heng stood up and saw Lianxue walking towards him.
Jia Heng looked calm and asked: "Where is Your Highness?"
Lianxue looked at the young man wearing military attaché robes across from him, smiled softly, and said, "His Royal Highness asked the young master to go to the study and wait."
Jia Heng nodded without saying much. He followed Lianxue to the inner study and sat down.
Lianxue's cold, jade-like face had a faint smile on her face, and she asked, "Did Young Master Jia just come down from the court meeting?"
Jia Heng said: "Well, we have just finished the afternoon court. Yesterday, the imperial camp in Beijing incited the soldiers to cause chaos. Today, the Holy Lord convened the ministers to discuss matters, so I had to go. By the way, I was busy with official duties some time ago and didn't come over. Is your Royal Highness okay? ?”
Lianxue said softly: "Everything is fine, Your Highness."
Jia Heng nodded and said warmly: "That's good."
While the two were talking, suddenly the jingling of rings and light footsteps came from outside. It was clearly the eldest princess of Jinyang, surrounded by several maids, who entered the study and ordered the maids to leave.
