Jinyang Princess Mansion.
In the attic, Song Jing and the eldest princess of Jinyang exchanged a few words politely, and then turned to cast a pair of burning eyes on Jia Heng. In other words, this uncle Song Guo was actually more enthusiastic about Jia Heng.
Song Jing's elegant and elegant face showed a smile, and said: "Zi Yu, Ran'er came over the day before yesterday and said that his mansion will be completed in a few days, and he wanted to invite Zi Yu over to celebrate the move. This Ziyu has been busy trying cases for two days, so it’s not good to interrupt him rashly."
Jia Heng smiled and asked: "His Highness told me last time that he would send a letter of invitation on that day. I don't know the specific day when it will be completed?"
"Just three days later." Song Jing smiled. Jia Heng said: "Then go over and have a look in three days."
"If you have nothing to do later, why don't you have a few drinks? Zi Yu must not refuse again." Song Jing smiled, with a sincere and enthusiastic expression.
Jia Heng said: "How about tomorrow? When the court is over tomorrow, I will be the host and come to invite Mr. Song. I was too busy some time ago and was involved in mundane affairs. I have not been able to keep the appointment. I am really sorry."
When King Wei celebrated his birthday last year, Song Jing mentioned that he would invite him to have a drink with him. Later, he kept evading the invitation due to other reasons, and now it is difficult to let him go.
Song Jing nodded and responded with a smile: "Then I will wait for Ziyu outside the palace gate tomorrow."
Jia Heng didn't even dare.
Song Jing immediately sighed with a complex expression: "Tomorrow the court will discuss the case of the Ministry of Industry. I don't know how big a disturbance this matter will cause. Ziyu is the minister of military aircraft and the chief judge. I don't know what to think about it?"
It is said that he was once a sixth-grade official. Unless it was a courtesy ceremony, he was not even qualified to attend the court meeting.
Fortunately, they all jumped to the fifth rank this time. Although they were only officials of China and North Korea like the Ministry of Internal Affairs, their money and expenditures were all in the millions, and they were in a humble but powerful position.
What Yuan Chun said before is actually correct or not. Although the uncle of the Song Dynasty had the ambition to be a foreign official and assist the inner court, he also knew that everything must be pinned on Wei Wang Chen Ran. Only his own nephew could safely sit on the throne of the prince. Only in the future can he realize his great ambitions and put his lifelong talents and knowledge to use.
Otherwise, in the eyes of today's emperor, just because he has the reputation of being a civil servant and is a relative, he will not be regarded as a subordinate minister. "This case should be discussed and resolved as soon as possible. There are many important political matters to be dealt with after the spring of the imperial court. This matter cannot cause a political uproar." Jia Heng said in a deep voice with a solemn expression.
Song Jing nodded and said, "That's right. Now that the government is inspecting the capital, it really shouldn't be more turbulent."
Since two years ago, two cabinet ministers have left, and now another one is about to leave. Jia Heng talked to Song Jing for a while.
After Song Jing said goodbye and left, the eldest princess of Jinyang, with a graceful appearance, picked up the tea cup, took a sip and said, "He is trying to win over you."
Jia Heng said: "They all say that my nephew is like my uncle. I just saw that this statement is true."
Song Jing was pretty good, since he was a foodie, he was eager but not flattering, while King Chen Ran of Wei was still young and a little out of control.
Yuan Chun listened quietly to the conversation between the two and sighed quietly in his heart.
The eldest princess of Jinyang explained: "My sister-in-law has four brothers and sisters in total. Song Jing is the third. She was once a civil servant and later became an official. Her younger brother Song Qiong is a second-ranked Jinshi and is currently the magistrate of a county in Henan. "
Jia Heng said: "To put it this way, the two uncles of the Song Dynasty have not been greatly used by the Holy Spirit."
"I'm afraid that he will be reused in the past two years. After all, King Wei has now opened a palace. No matter what, he is the son of the emperor's sister-in-law." The eldest princess of Jinyang said something meaningful, and then said softly: "Speaking of which, prince It is a rule set by the Taizu Dynasty to open a mansion when one is an adult, allowing princes, princes and vassals to come out to observe government affairs and handle errands. This can be regarded as learning from the lessons of the previous Ming Dynasty. The princes of the previous Ming Dynasty were better at women's hands and did not understand the world's affairs and were bullied by their ministers. "
The royal family of the former Ming Dynasty treated the vassal princes like pigs, and Taizu of the Chen and Han Dynasties learned the lesson. Although the princes also did not join the vassal, they chose successors to open the government, observe the government, and exercise their abilities.
"There are advantages and disadvantages. In the early Ming Dynasty, vassals were divided into various vassals. However, when Jianwen succeeded him, he urgently pursued the policy of reducing the vassals. The uncles and nephews met each other in war, which caused the imperial line to shift. In view of this, the descendants of Yin, the later generations, naturally changed their ways." Heng shook his head and said.
"Replacing vassals with great importance will easily lead to chaos. It is said that Sima's rebellion in the Jin Dynasty brought the Central Plains to ruin." The eldest princess of Jinyang said thoughtfully on her face. The beauty was already very interested in these things and asked again: " Then why did the policies of the prefectures and states in the Zhou and Han Dynasties keep the country's auspiciousness forever, but in the two weeks of the Han Dynasty, and in the Qin and Jin Dynasties, the disaster of Xiaoqiang and the chaos of the second generation occurred?"
Jia Heng said: "This matter is complicated and cannot be explained clearly in a few words. However, Your Highness asked the question well. Because there is no country with long-term peace and stability, there is no fixed strategy. It is just a matter of changing circumstances and adapting to local conditions. Therefore, every dynasty has reflected on the successes and failures of the previous dynasty, and then caused chaos and loss due to other things, and the rise and fall of chaos and chaos, one after another."
When Liu Bang granted titles to the kings with the Liu surname, he must have thought that after the death of Qin II, there would be no cavalry of the First Emperor's blood to serve as kings, and as a result, the world would be conquered by people with different surnames.
Sima Yi probably thought about this issue when he usurped Cao Wei.
Upon hearing this, the eldest princess of Jinyang looked thoughtful and said, "Can you elaborate?"
Jia Heng said: "Your Highness is actually asking about two things. Just like the latitude and longitude, the first is the enfeoffment and the dual system of prefectures and counties. The superior and the inferior are superior. The second is who can hold the sacred weapon so that it can last for a long time?"
The beauty nodded, her beautiful eyes glowing.
It's true that the latitude and longitude are horizontal and vertical.
Jia Heng said: "First, many sages have discussed it, so there is no need to elaborate. Moreover, now that counties and counties have been established, it does not mean that they will be completely abandoned without enfeoffment."
The first question already has an answer. Prefectures and counties are in line with the vertical distribution of power between the central and local governments in ancient China.
But enfeoffment, if used for global military deployment, is the cheapest way to rule. Each enfeoffs a piece of land and is responsible for its own profits and losses. After hundreds of years, the meat will rot in the pot.
"In the past, the emperor of Zhou divided the clans into feudal clans, established states, and taught the four directions with rituals and music. At that time, the clans opened up territories and drove out the barbarians, which were called vassals. The vassals were the emperor's barriers. Since they were barriers, they should be regarded as vassals. To suppress foreign invaders from all directions, for example, when the Sima kings were in power and built fences into their own courtyards, how could they not cause trouble? However, Emperor Wu cut down the vassals and made many feudal vassals less powerful. Those who exterminated heirs or committed crimes lost their country, territory and population. Bring it back to the center and redefine the prefectures and counties."
"The fence penetrates the yard?" Princess Puyang murmured, with a thoughtful look on her face.
"The four barbarians have submitted to the king's rule and implemented the prefecture and county system and are under the rule. The barbarian lands that have not been under the king's rule can initially be enfeoffed and regarded as vassals. After a hundred years, vassals were established and the population multiplied, and they were gradually brought under the rule. "Jia Heng said.
Enfeoffment can be said to be a powerful tool for expanding territory. What is a vassal? It is the emperor's fence. Who built the fence in the yard?
In fact, the people of Zhou were constantly harassed by the Rong and Di. They were sealed off, expanded their territory, turned barbarians into summer, and then their flesh rotted in the pot.
Jia Heng said: "As for how to hold the sacred weapon for a long time? If the power is given to the clan, the Eight Kings will be in chaos and disaster will arise in Xiaoqiang; if it is given to the retainers, there will be many powerful gentry; if it is given to the slaves, the emperor will be eunuchs in the middle Tang Dynasty. The evil slaves of the eunuchs deceived their masters and abolished the establishment; they punished their relatives; Liang Ji was domineering, and Wang Mang usurped the country; but they refused to pay, and concentrated all their power on the superiors. The monarch was sometimes wise, sometimes foolish, sometimes benevolent, and sometimes violent. How to explain this? "
This involves horizontal power distribution, that is, the top-level design that places power in whose hands is the most stable and efficient?
As far as the rulers are concerned, they generally follow the method of checks and balances. Nobles, relatives, eunuchs, and military honors are all used. Whoever is virtuous should use them.
But what if the master is virtuous in the past but unvirtuous in the future?
The master is like this, and so is the group. The 600 million Chinese state is dominated by Yao and Shun. After all, it is just an utopia.
Therefore, there is no country with long-term peace and order.
The eldest princess of Jinyang listened to Jia Heng's narration, her face was graceful, and she said: "If you say this, it is true that there has never been a country with long-term peace and stability."
Jia Heng said: "Just like human life, old age, illness and death, it cannot be avoided by any political system."
No one can be eighteen forever, but there are always people who are eighteen.
That year, Master Tang was also eighteen years old.
Yuan Chun saw that the two of them were silent and the atmosphere seemed to be depressed, so he said angrily: "Brother Heng is so good, why are you talking about this?"
Princess Jinyang smiled to herself and said, "Yes, okay, let's not talk about this anymore."
Jia Heng picked up the tea cup, took a sip, and said, "Just a casual chat."
"It's past noon now, and I'm feeling a little sleepy, so I went to take a nap first while you and your brother and I chatted." Princess Jinyang said with a chuckle, and then glanced back and forth between the two of them.
He secretly said that during the morning trip to Xishan, the two of them did not have the opportunity to be alone.
"I'm going to Jinyi Mansion later." Jia Heng nodded.
Because there is a court meeting tomorrow, the relevant files need to be sorted out. In addition, a rough amount of the property confiscated by the criminals is also needed.
Jia Heng turned to Yuan Chun and said, "Eldest sister is feeling sleepy now that she comes here. I'll take her back."
The girl is dressed in the robe of a female official of the royal palace, and has a different kind of beauty compared to the previous graceful and gorgeous ones.
Yuan Chunqing nodded and responded in a low voice: "I'm feeling a little sleepy now."
The two of them left the attic together and walked along the long corridor of the Princess Palace. It was the afternoon, the sunlight was soft and bright, and the fragrant fragrance of some early spring flowers could be faintly wafted in the air.
Jia Heng said softly: "I originally wanted to play in the mountains with my eldest sister, but I didn't want to spend another busy morning."
Previously, he had been accompanying the eldest princess, and there was no chance for Yuanchun to be alone.
Yuanchun pursed his pink lips and replied: "It's nothing, I'm going out for an outing today."
She just looked at him.
"When I have free time, I can go for a walk with my eldest sister alone." Jia Heng said softly.
"Um."
While the two were talking, they came to the courtyard where Yuan Chun lived. After holding Qin away, Jia Heng reached out to hold the girl's jade hand, sat on the bed, and talked together.
Being held by the hand, Yuan Chun felt a little shy for a moment, and took the initiative to say: "Brother Heng and His Highness were chatting, and it seemed quite speculative."
"This was the case when we first met each other. Everyone else was talking about romantic poems and songs, but His Highness and I were the only ones who talked about history." Jia Heng said warmly, then looked at Yuanchun and said warmly: "Sister, I have been reading poetry and books since I was a child. , you have extraordinary knowledge, you can talk about it just now, why are you silent?"
Yuan Chun's beautiful eyes were slightly shy, and she gently grabbed Jia Heng's hand that reached into his clothes, and said softly: "It's not a good thing for a woman to be too knowledgeable. Moreover, as Heng's brother just said, relatives, eunuchs, and scholars all have troubles in the imperial court. However, the concubine and the princess were the only ones left out of the crisis. I wonder if Brother Heng did it intentionally?"
Jia Heng said: "His Royal Highness Jinyang is not a peaceful and happy person."
"Maybe." Yuanchun smiled softly and said quietly.
Jia Heng's heart moved slightly, and she whispered softly: "Sister, are you jealous?"
"Who... who is jealous?" Yuanchun's heart skipped a beat at the heat coming from his ears, and a layer of blush appeared on his smooth, plump cheeks, as red as rouge, bright and moving.
Jia Heng took Yuan Chun and lay down on the bed together. Smelling the warm fragrance of orchids and musk on the bed, he whispered to Yuan Chun, who was already blushing, "Sister, I will take charge of my role from now on and be my good wife."
Yuan Chun's round and jade-like face turned red with shame, and he said angrily: "It is enough for you to have Her Royal Highness as your virtuous wife, but you don't need me."
What is a good wife? Aren’t they just husband and wife?
Well, now that she is lying on the same bed with him, they can probably be considered husband and wife.
Looking at the shy girl, Jia Heng said: "You said you weren't jealous just now? But you're not leaving the eldest princess."
Motoharu: 「…………」
Well, she was a little jealous. Just now she could only watch, like an outsider, and it was hard to interrupt.
Looking at the pink lips that were slightly opened in shock, her beautiful eyes were stunned, Jia Heng leaned down and held two pieces of peach blossoms in her mouth again
The double decade of spring is a woman's best age, especially her graceful figure and plump figure.
"Hmm..." Yuan Chunqiong couldn't help but let out a disgusted snort. She slowly closed her beautiful eyes, caressed Jia Heng's shoulders, and gently grasped the python pattern on her robe. She seemed to be getting used to Jia Heng's love for her. And intimacy, while the heart is shy and happy, there are also bursts of sweetness.
After just a moment, I felt that my front was being untied, and those familiar hands were grabbing the jade tiger again. Then I was shocked, and it was clear that the jade tiger was in my mouth again.
The girl now raised her head slightly, enduring the numbness, and whispered: "Brother Heng..."
After a while, Jia Heng looked at Yuan Chun, who had a slight breath and beautiful eyes, and said in a low voice: "Today, I was supposed to spend more time with my eldest sister."
Yuan Chun's beautiful face was radiant and she whispered: "Brother Heng was with me just now." "After finishing this work, I will go for a walk in Yunyuan alone with my eldest sister." Jia Heng said softly. Yuanchun said "Yeah", feeling happy. it
Jia Heng whispered: "Sister, why don't you take a nap for a while, I'll leave in the afternoon." In later generations, it was probably around 1 p.m., and he would go back at 2 p.m. After saying that, he took off his boots, got on the bed, hugged Yuanchun, and slowly lay down.
Yuan Chun saw Jia Heng getting on the bed at this time, his heart was beating loudly, and he seemed to be even more shy, whispering: "Brother Heng, it's still... daytime right now."
Jia Heng hugged Yuan Chun and said softly: "I just want to lie down with my eldest sister for a while." "Yeah."
"By the way, if it's getting dark, eldest sister thinks it's okay." Jia Heng asked in a low voice.
Motoharu: "......"
She didn't mean it was dark.
Jia Heng looked at Yuanchun, who was shy and unspeakable with his head hanging down. He leaned over and pinched two petals of the peach blossom, grabbing the sweetness.
If this continues, it will really be the end of the Spring Festival.
After a while, Yuanchun's cheeks were rosy and her pink lips were a little glossy. She put her cheek against Jia Heng's heart and said in a trembling voice: "Brother Heng, let's talk."
Ever since he and Hengdi fell in love, Hengdi was always close to her, even though she was also very... happy.
Jia Heng said softly: "Sister said, I'm listening."
"It's the matter of worshiping Brahma and worshiping Buddha. I want to discuss it with Brother Heng. I have asked Baoqin to buy some Buddhist scriptures. When my mother mentioned this, I said yes to her." Yuan Chun said softly. .
Jia Heng nodded and said, "Sister, you can prepare in advance. When the storm comes, I will think of a solution."
I can't tell, I still have to think of something on Baoyu.
Let Mrs. Wang be tied up with Baoyu, and she will not act like a monster.
Baoyu should get engaged in the next two years, why not promise... Xia Jingui from the Osmanthus Bureau of the Ministry of Internal Affairs to Baoyu, and then have a fight with Mrs. Wang?
Well, this seems a bit too bad.
After that, Jia Heng and Yuan Chun got tired of each other for a while. The two people, who had just confirmed their relationship as a couple, couldn't get enough of each other.
Then go to Jinyi Mansion to collect the files and testimonies of King Zhongshun and the two offices of the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Internal Affairs, as well as the seized and sealed property, in preparation for the court meeting tomorrow.
But on the other side, Prince Qi said goodbye to Prince Zhongshun, returned to the palace, entered the study, and summoned Dou Rong, Xu Shaozhen, Monk Huitong, Jia Yucun and others.
Chen Cheng told Dou Rong: "Dou Changshi, ordered people to go to a place called Xiaoluyuan in the West Mountain, find a pavilion called Diecuiting, and find the gold and silver hidden in the cellar below."
This is where King Zhongshun told Chen Cheng where his silver was stored before leaving.
"Xishan?" Prince Palace Chief Shi Dourong frowned and whispered: "Your Majesty, I'm afraid it won't work. I just heard a piece of news. Just this morning, Jinyi Mansion went to Zhongshun Prince's Villa in Xishan. , more than a dozen carts of gold and silver were searched, and they have now been sent to the Ministry of Internal Affairs."
Chen Cheng: "???"
Immediately, he grabbed Dou Rong's arm tightly and said urgently: "Do you know how much money Qi got?"
Among the three silver hiding places that King Zhongshun gave Chen Cheng before, there is one each in Beijing, Jinling, and Suzhou and Hangzhou. The place where the silver is hidden in the capital is Xiaoluyuan, but King Zhongshun obviously did not inform them of all the places where the silver was hidden. Chen Cheng only told Diecuiting one thing, this was also for his own future plans.
According to King Zhongshun's estimation, the treasury would probably be used to make up for the deficit caused by corruption, and the remaining silver could not be given to Chen Cheng entirely, so some needed to be kept for the future.
Dou Rong shook his head and said solemnly, "I don't know yet."
"Damn it!" Chen Cheng said angrily with a gloomy face: "Now the Jinyi Mansion and the Internal Affairs Mansion have taken the lead. Now the top priority is to seize the property in the three villas in Jinling, Hangzhou, and Suzhou. Otherwise, there will be There is a danger of being intercepted by both the Jinyi Mansion and the Internal Affairs Bureau."
Dou Rong accepted the order and said: "I will send a flying pigeon to send a letter to the guards of the provinces."
With that said, he left the study without any further delay.
At this time, Jia Yucun, who was sitting not far away, was twirling his beard with his hand, thinking about something on his face, and then whispered: "Your Majesty, I suspect that I am the confidant of Prince Zhongshun. Chief Shi Zhoushun confessed to the secret of hiding the silver in the prison." He has served Prince Zhongshun for a long time, and he probably knows a lot about Prince Zhongshun’s secrets. Now I’m not sure how much he knows. Once all the recruits are supplied to the Jinyi Mansion, I’m afraid that the hidden silver in the south will not be preserved.”
Chen Cheng said: "What Mr. Yucun said is true, so we need to do this quickly and get it done first, otherwise it will be in vain."
Since he was forced to hand over millions of taels of silver, he had no savings, and his subordinates were in urgent need of silver everywhere. He finally thought of a way, but he couldn't let it go to waste.
However, the gain is not only money, but also the support of King Zhongshun. There is no need to tell everyone about this.
Jia Yucun pondered for a moment and then suggested: "Nowadays, the main policy of the imperial court is to rectify the salt affairs in Huaiyang. The Yangzhou salt merchants have appealed to the prince for protection. If the prince is short of silver, it is better to let them donate it."
"Yangzhou salt merchants have paid homage to several Bodhisattvas, and I am just one of them." Chen Cheng frowned and said softly, "Besides, I always feel that my father is going to be serious this time, and their lives will not be easy."
Jia Yucun said: "When the students were in Jinling, they heard vague rumors that Yangzhou salt merchants and wealthy merchants had deep connections with Jiangnan officialdom. achievement."
"What do you mean, Mr. Amemura?"
Jia Yucun said: "Hasn't the prince tried to plan the rectification of the salt affairs? The prince is a vassal. If he can go south to take charge of the affairs, it will be a great achievement."
Chen Cheng frowned and said with a troubled expression: "This job is not easy to handle. Besides, I want to take over the job of building the imperial mausoleum in order to restore the title, so I can't get away from it."
Not only can't we get away, but we can't embezzle even a single cent anymore, otherwise the imperial mausoleum will collapse again, and then there will be nothing left.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but hate Jia Heng even more for putting him in trouble.
If the Sanhe Gang still exists in Dongcheng, why is he here?
