In the afternoon, Prince Wei’s Mansion
Under the guidance of King Wei, Jia Heng entered the mansion. At this moment, some congratulatory officials in the front hall who were to be led across the courtyard to have lunch mostly looked curiously at the tall and tall young man in a python suit.
Listening to their companions describing who the visitor was, everyone was shocked.
How could Jia Heng, who was the minister of military aircraft and the deputy envoy of the Jingying Festival in the imperial court, not know this?
But this important minister also came to celebrate the move of King Wei?
However, in a second thought, I felt that it was normal. Regardless of the fact that His Highness the King of Wei was asking questions at the Five Cities Military and Horse Division that he had mentioned, it was not surprising that such a grand occasion had such important officials coming to celebrate.
Jia Heng followed King Wei as he walked into the house, and at a glance he saw the figure who was about to cross the courtyard. It was a young man wearing the official robe of a sixth-grade military attaché. He called out: "Cousin."
"Brother Heng." Dong Qian was called and turned around to look. He was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "You are here too."
Wei Wang Chen Ran smiled and explained: "Zi Yu, several brothers from the Wucheng Army and Horse Division heard that I moved to a new residence and came to celebrate. Deputy Commander Dong, Commander Shen and Commander Yan are all here."
At this time, Dong Qian called across the courtyard, and Shen Yan, Yan Li and other generals from the Five Cities Military and Horse Division gathered around him, as well as Fa Cao Gao Yinian, Cang Cao Lu Qing and other civil servants.
Jia Heng nodded, looked at Dong Qian who was smiling, and asked in surprise: "Why don't you see Mr. Fan?"
"Mr. Fan said he had difficulty with his legs and feet, so he didn't come over." Dong Qian said with a smile.
Jia Heng's eyes flashed and his heart moved slightly.
He vaguely had Fan Yi's thoughts, indicating that he was not in agreement with King Wei and others because of his different human nature. In addition, because of his inconvenient legs and feet in such an occasion, he was easily looked at by some strange eyes.
As for Dong Qian, he was his cousin, so he didn't have much scruples. As for the generals of the Five Cities Military and Horse Division, such as Shen Yan, there might be some thoughts of clinging to the King of Wei, which was understandable.
When the King of Wei went to the Wucheng Army and Horse Division to serve as a meritorious officer, he would definitely win over the generals of the Wucheng Army and Horse Division, cultivate party members, and win over the generals. He also acquiesced at the beginning.
"Everyone, please sit down and eat and drink." Jia Heng said loudly as he glanced at the generals and civil servants of the Five Cities Military and Horse Division.
Everyone responded with a smile.
With a smile on his face, King Wei extended his hand to invite him: "Ziyu, go to the second hall to talk."
The chief minister of the Wei Palace has not yet been selected. Now there is a banquet in the palace. They are greeted by a high-ranking female official sent by the Queen of Song Dynasty, and then led to the backyard to be received by Song Jing's wife.
In addition, Xia Shouzhong, the general manager of the Sixth Palace, and his uncle Song Jing were also sent to greet the officials who came to congratulate them.
As for the prominent and important officials in the court, Wei Wang Chen Ran and Song Jing, their uncle and nephew personally greeted them.
Everyone was chatting and just sat down in the hall when a steward came in and said: "Your Majesty, Princess Chu, Princess Qi, and Princess Beijing, come here to congratulate you."
King Wei Chen Ran looked at Jia Heng and said, "Ziyu will sit down first, and my sixth brother will follow me to greet the Wangsao."
Liang Wang Chen Wei stood up and responded.
Seeing that Princess Xianning was about to get up to greet her, King Wei Chen Ran smiled and said, "Fifth sister and Chanyue sister, just accompany the husband to talk."
Princess Xianning nodded and said, "Brother King Wei, let's go. I will go to the backyard to talk to the two sisters-in-law later."
At this time, there were only three people left in the second inner hall: Jia Heng, Li Chanyue and Princess Xianning, as well as the maid and nanny.
Li Chanyue asked with a smile: "Sister Xianning, I told you to go to Xishan last time. When will we go there?"
Princess Xianning smiled and said: "It won't be too late to go after a while."
She had made an appointment with her husband. If there was no news about the war in Henan, she and her husband would go to the Xishan Villa to see the peach blossoms. "
Then I can only go see it with my mother. Li Chanyue said, then looked at Jia Heng aside and said, "Mr. Jia, are you free recently?"
Jia Heng shook his head and said: "I have been busy with matters in the capital recently and have no time. Why, the little princess wants to invite me to go with you?"
Li Chanyue blinked her bright eyes and said, "Yeah, what's wrong?"
"I've been so busy lately that I'm afraid I won't be able to make the trip." Jia Heng said softly.
Recently, he not only has to send people to inspect the situation in Henan, but also organizes a counter-insurgency army in the name of training.
"Are you so busy? Mr. Jia is not very good at taking breaks from his busy schedule." Li Chanyue said softly.
Jia Heng smiled, picked up the tea cup on the small table, lowered his head and took a sip.
While they were talking, King Chen Ran of Wei came back and said with a smile: "It's already noon, I guess you're hungry. Let's pass on the meal."
Liang Wang Chen Wei looked at Jia Heng with a sneer on his lips.
Because his brother had repeatedly told him not to be rude to Jia Ziyu. Although he couldn't stand his frivolous and cunning appearance, he couldn't say anything to his face.
Jia Heng had lunch with the King of Wei. After eating, he held his hands and said: "Your Highness, the King of Wei, I have to go to the capital camp to supervise the army. I'll excuse you now."
"Sir, let's go to the capital camp together." Princess Xianning said softly.
King Wei swallowed back the words that came to his lips, "Gu Ye, let's go together to see my great army." He smiled and said, "Fifth sister is best at martial arts. It's good to go to the capital to gain knowledge, and it's better to come back." Let’s talk about it for my brother.”
When his fifth sister went there more often, it was natural for him to go to Beijing Camp to look for her.
Princess Xianning pursed her pink lips, her cheeks stained with a faint blush, and said, "I just went to take a look."
Jia Heng answered: "I promised His Highness for a long time, and now I just want to go together."
With that said, he and Princess Xianning left the inner hall and headed to the capital camp.
In Prince Wei's Mansion, in a three-story attic with cornices and brackets, King Chen Ran of Wei leaned on the railing and watched the two people getting on the carriage through a dense sycamore tree.
"Uncle, I saw that Fifth Sister and Jia Ziyu were very close, and there are some rumors in the palace." King Wei suddenly said.
Although the palace officials who spread rumors in the palace were punished by Empress Song and Concubine Duanrong, King Wei still heard the rumors about his fifth sister.
Song Jing muttered: "Your Highness, Jia Ziyu already has a family, and the matter in Xianning is a bit difficult to deal with. Unless Jia Ziyu has made great achievements, then the Holy Spirit will grant him a marriage, so that Youyou's mouth can be stopped."
"Xianning still has deep feelings for Gu." King Wei whispered.
Song Jing said: "Now, we can only wait and see what happens."
"Uncle, I heard that the matter with the Ministry of Internal Affairs last time was stuck with Aunt Jinyang?" Wei Wang Chen Ran suddenly asked.
When mentioning the eldest princess of Jinyang, Song Jing's face turned gloomy and she said in a complicated tone: "The Ministry of Internal Affairs is a good place, but it's a pity."
Although he has now been transferred to the Ministry of Industry's Materials Appraisal Office, which is not bad, it is still inferior to that of the Kuaiji Department of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
"The House of Internal Affairs is in charge of the royal family's property, even if it's just a little bit leaky... Uncle, does he know that not long ago, my father seized several million worth of property from Prince Zhongshun's house." Wei Wang Chen Ran whispered. road.
Song Jing said: "I heard about it. I'm afraid it will only cost one to twenty million taels of property. Recently, the Ministry of Internal Affairs is checking the properties of Prince Zhongshun in various provinces."
"I didn't expect that there would be so much, which is equivalent to a year's tax of the Han Dynasty." King Wei said with emotion, turned around and sat down in front of a small table, and said: "It's good to be at home for a thousand days, but it's difficult to go out for one day. Only when you go out to open the mansion can you know everything." It’s difficult.”
If my uncle were in charge of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, he would not be so stretched even if he withheld one to two million taels every year.
No wonder the queen mother looked unhappy when she mentioned Aunt Jinyang's "impediment" the day before yesterday.
"The most urgent thing is that His Highness still has to lead some errands to make a living." Song Jing whispered and sat down on the bamboo chair opposite Wei Wang Chen Ran.
Wei Wang Chen Ran nodded and said: "I originally wanted to stay in the Five Cities Military and Horse Division for a year and see if I could replace my people with the tax collectors in the east and west cities. I just don't know what Jia Ziyu thinks."
The commercial taxes of the east and west cities are paid by the Wucheng Military and Horse Division and handed over to the General Taxation Department of the Wucheng Military and Horse Division.
Song Jing nodded and said: "Jia Ziyu is a smart man. Since he has given the position of meritorious service to His Highness, he will observe its achievements silently and will not interfere. Your Highness, you see that Jia Ziyu usually travels between Jingying and Jinyi Mansion, and has no influence on the five cities." The Military and Horse Division has too many stops, and he is now leading so many errands. If he takes power in everything, he will easily be jealous."
King Wei Chen Ran said in an envious tone: "Yes, I have the power both internally and externally. My father really trusts him."
At this moment, the sound of official boots squeaking on the stairs was heard from the attic, and what came into Chen Ran and Song Jing's eyes was a fair-skinned young man in a python suit with slightly sinister features.
"Third brother, uncle."
King Wei looked at Liang King Chen Wei and asked in confusion: "Why is the sixth brother looking so hasty?"
King Liang said with a happy face: "Third brother, do you know what I heard?"
"What?"
The king of Liang smiled happily: "Third brother, I heard from the officials who went to the palace gate that Jia Heng beat Liu Fang of the Duke Li's family, and the eldest son of the Wang family of Xining County. The official of the Department of Justice is impeaching Jia for this matter. Heng."
Hearing this, Song Jing put down the teacup in his hand, frowned and asked, "Why did Jia Ziyu hit the two of them?"
Because he had been helping King Wei welcome guests in the morning, he didn't know about the dispute between Jia Heng and Jin and Liu.
Liang Wang Chen Wei told everything he had seen before, saying: "However, my father did not blame him. Instead, he reprimanded Jin and Liu for being rude and rude to the military minister and for governing the country." He was also fined a salary."
Wei Wang Chen Ran frowned, turned his questioning eyes to Song Yuan, and asked doubtfully: "What does uncle think?"
"The dispute over state affairs at the military aircraft office is nothing. It's just what Jia Ziyu mentioned at the military aircraft office that caused this dispute." Song Jing frowned, a look of thought on his elegant and fair face.
Liang Wang Chen Wei seemed to be smiling but not smiling, and said: "I heard that he was going to lead the capital camp to Henan to prepare for the invaders. Jia Heng also said that the Henan Dusi official army who went to Runing Prefecture to suppress the invaders was severely defeated, and the rebel army may sweep across the prefectures and counties of Henan. , and even broke the Kaifeng Mansion and proposed that the capital camp mobilize troops to Luo to guard against the bandit rebellion."
At this moment, as time spreads, or with the help of interested people, most officials in Shenjing City have learned some details and are discussing Jia Heng's deduction.
King Wei's expression changed slightly, he thought for a moment, and said in a deep voice: "Uncle, there is chaos in Henan? Is this a bit alarmist?"
Song Jing frowned, his eyes flickered, and asked: "Jia Ziyu said this, did he get military reports from Henan?"
"Where can there be any military reports? I heard that everything is just a dream of Jia Heng!" Liang Wang Chen Wei said, suddenly seeing his brother Wei Wang glare at him, he quickly restrained his ridicule and said: "This Jia Heng Heng Xiaoer said that the Henan official army was vulnerable, and the rebel army might take advantage of the emptiness in Kaifeng to break the Henan government."
"This..." King Wei paused for a moment at the tea cup he had just picked up, and looked at each other with his uncle Song Jing.
"Third brother, you also find it unbelievable, don't you?" Liang Wang Chen Wei sneered and said: "The cabinet ministers, the Minister of Military Aircraft, Mr. Shi, and the military aircraft driver all find it unbelievable, or else they would say he is talking in his sleep."
Prince Liang said and sneered: "I heard that no one from the Military Aircraft Department agreed. This time Jia Ziyu was embarrassed. The Liguo Gong family and the Wang family of Xining County didn't deal with Jia Heng. I guess most of them laughed at him." After a few words, Jia Ziyu was angry and became angry. He relied on his authority as the Commander-in-Chief of Jinyi to hit the two of them. This was also relying on his father's favor and trust. He acted so recklessly. The third brother just waits. I'm afraid that he will not be able to do it in the next few days. There have been quite a few turmoils.”
King Wei Chen Ran looked solemn and speechless for a moment, while Song Jing was also thinking about the pros and cons.
Liang Wang Chen Wei said: "Third brother, do you want to visit the Liguo family and the Wang family of Xining County? One of these two families is in the Fifth Army Governor's Mansion, and the other is in the northwest..."
King Wei Chen Ran hesitated for a moment, looked at his uncle, shook his head and said, "Forget it, just send the steward to visit."
These few people are naturally not comparable to Jia Ziyu, who is in charge of Jingying and Jinyi Mansion. Moreover, without the acquiescence of his father, he is also a little scared.
Song Jing held the tea cup, took a sip, and whispered: "Why did Jia Ziyu make such an inference? Even if the Henan army fails to help, it will not..."
"Who knows, he really thinks he is a god. He can predict the future with just a few fingers." Liang Wang Chen Wei also picked up the teapot, poured a cup, and said with a chuckle.
Wei Wang Chen Ran thought for a while and suddenly asked: "Uncle, is the fourth uncle now a county magistrate in Henan?"
Song Jing said: "I am serving as the magistrate of Xiangfu County under the rule of Kaifeng Prefecture. I am about to complete my term again. If I have to move according to my rank, this time the capital inspection plan should move at least one tongzhi or magistrate. Speaking of which, , he was originally the county magistrate, but he has served two terms now."
Unlike Song Jing, who had no fame and could only serve as a sixth-grade guest in Honglu Temple, Song Xuan, the fourth son of the Song family, was born in a serious family.
Wei King Chen Ran asked: "My fourth uncle, two Jinshi scholars, moved to two counties. Why is his promotion so slow?"
If his fourth uncle could come to help, I think he would also have a right-hand man.
Song Jing sighed and said: "Who allowed him to have a sister who is a queen and a sister who is a noble concubine."
There are four siblings of the Empress of the Song Dynasty. Empress Song is the eldest sister of the Song family, Concubine Duanrong is the second sister of the Song family, Song Jing is the third eldest, and Song is the fourth eldest.
Song Xuan is much younger than his sisters and brothers who are already in their early thirties. He is only in his mid-twenties. He was awarded the second-level Jinshi at the age of twenty. He is regarded as the academic seed of the Song family. However, because he has a queen, , the sister of a noble concubine will inevitably receive more attention, but it will affect her career. Instead of being elected to the Hanlin Academy as a concubine, she went to another place.
Emperor Chongping even sent Song Shi to be the magistrate of a selected county. Later, due to his outstanding political performance and excellent evaluation, under the strong recommendation of the Ministry of Personnel, Emperor Chongping finally suppressed it and transferred him to Xiangfu County, Kaifeng Prefecture.
Now that he has served two terms of rank, he will be promoted more quickly if he goes up higher. He may be a co-prefect, a magistrate, or even a magistrate of a state.
Wei Wang Chen Ran suddenly remembered something and frowned: "Uncle, I just heard from my sixth brother that according to Jia Ziyu's deduction, if the army of Runing Mansion is defeated, the road to Kaifeng Mansion will be smooth for the bandits. My uncle is in Xiangfu County, Isn’t it under a dangerous wall?”
Liang Wang Chen Wei frowned and said: "Third brother, listen to that Jia Heng's nonsense! Those are his false threats. I have inquired about it. Henan Dusi's official army has sent several guards and ten to twenty thousand troops to ensure that nothing goes wrong. !Jia Heng was talking to himself there. There were so many people in the Military Aircraft Department and the Cabinet, but no one believed him. Even my father, who favored him so much, didn’t believe his nonsense."
Wei Wang Chen Ran put down the tea cup, with a solemn expression on his face, and said slowly: "Jia Ziyu seemed to have predicted that there would be chaos in the capital camp. When Prince Teng's army was in chaos, Jia Ziyu had predicted it in advance and decisively sent troops to suppress it."
Because he spent a lot of time in the Wucheng Army and Horse Division, Wei Wang Chen Ran, as a "dog licker", knew some of Jia Heng's deeds very well.
Song Jing answered: "At the beginning, he seemed to have used the eyes and ears of Jinyi Mansion to investigate the matter. Jinyi Mansion has eyes and ears all over Shenjing, and I am afraid that it is beyond the reach of the local whip."
Liang Wang Chen Wei picked up the tea cup, took a sip, and said: "What my uncle said is that he is nothing after leaving Jinyi Mansion."
King Wei Chen Ran thought for a while, frowned, and murmured: "It's a province governed by a government and heavily guarded by troops. I'm too worried."
Then, he looked at Liang Wang Chen Wei and said seriously: "Sixth brother, don't take it too seriously against Jia Ziyu."
Liang Wang Chen Wei defended himself and said: "Brother Wang, I didn't target him. Look at how much my father favors him. My fifth sister also gave me a lot of shame for him. I didn't even know he had What kind of skills are there? If he hadn't followed my aunt's path and met my father, he would still be nesting in Liuzhuo'er Alley, but now he has become more powerful, with a cold face and a arrogant look in front of you."
Song Jing shook his head and said in a deep voice: "You can't say that, Jia Ziyu is still capable."
"It's just a matter of fooling my father." Liang Wang Chen Wei said.
Wei Wang Chen Ran said angrily: "What nonsense are you talking about? How can my father, the emperor, be so wise and wise as to allow incompetent people to fool me?"
Liang Wang Chen Wei pursed his lips, stretched out his hand, and said: "Okay, just obey him. After a few days, the Henan Army reports and his face is swollen."
That's why he looked bored.
The fifth sister is helping Jia Heng, and she can still say that women are not allowed to stay in the university, but the third brother is also protecting her in this way. Do you really think that someone with a high rank in the army will help you enter the East Palace?
What about dreaming?
They are hanging on to you!
In fact, licking a dog will not wake it up. On the contrary, the brother who is watching Qing hates that iron cannot become steel.
Not to mention that the king of Wei and the king of Liang were friendly and respectful brothers.
But it was said that Princess Chu Zhen Qing and Princess Beijing Zhen Xue came to the backyard accompanied by Ji Ji and the maids, and were received by Song Jing's wife Shen. As the aunt of Wei Wang Chen Ran, although her status was only the sixth-grade imperial concubine. , but still the elder of Princess Chu.
Zhen Qing looked at Song Yan, who was aside. She was a twelve-year-old girl, wearing a light yellow dress, with broken bangs, two earrings in her earlobes, slender eyebrows, bright eyes, and a white face. She has an oval face like snow and soft and quiet facial features, a little like Empress Song.
Zhen Qing looked at Song Yan and said with a smile: "Auntie, Yan'er is so big at first glance, has she ever been married to someone else?"
According to etiquette, Princess Chu wanted to call Empress Song her mother, so Empress Song's younger siblings would naturally be Zhen Qing's aunts.
"Not yet." Song Jing's wife, Mrs. Shen, smiled and said, "I'm not in a hurry, I'm not even in my prime years yet."
In fact, she fell in love with her nephew, Liang Wang Chen Wei. When Liang Wang Chen Wei opened his palace in the next year, her daughter happened to be older, so she got married to him.
Zhen Qing smiled and said: "It's because the one in my family is too young, otherwise such a good character would have to be established."
Princess Zhen Xue of Beijing listened and pinched her handkerchief.
She secretly thought that her sister had previously said that she wanted to get closer to her Xin'er, but she knew that this was just to please her.
However, even Zhen Xue, who is a compatriot, doesn't know that what her sister Zhen Qing is thinking about is that her son will be the prince in the future. Isn't it normal to have a group of concubines and heirs?
When Song Yanfang heard the mention of her marriage, she felt a little ashamed and lowered her head. The little girl's cheeks, as white as snow, were stained with a layer of crimson.
At this time, Shui Xin, the daughter of Princess Zhen Xue of Beijing, was turning over the flower rope, and Nuo Nuo asked: "Sister, why are you blushing?"
Song Yan: "???"
Hearing this, Song Yan couldn't help but reach out and pinch Shuixin's pink cheeks, and said softly: "Sister, help you turn the flower rope."
Shen asked again: "Why don't you see King Chu today?"
Zhen Qing smiled and said: "Didn't he just take over the task of supervising the construction of the imperial mausoleum? He is so busy every day that his feet never touch the ground. He has been running to Weinan County for the past few days and doesn't live much. Sister-in-law and eldest brother are also Went to Gongling?"
While speaking, a pair of narrow, crystal-clear eyes looked at Xiang, who was not far away, wearing an aqua dress and a green bun with clouds. The beauty smiled lightly, watching Zhen talking to Princess Zhen Qing of Chu, quietly. listen.
At this time, Wen Ting inquired and said: "Your Majesty, he said that his errands are urgent and he dare not delay. Recently, he has been staying at the governor's office near Gongling. He will be able to relax after the various affairs over Gongling begin."
Compared to Zhen Qing, who has a strong temperament, is free in laughter and has a clear voice, Xiang's face is like a small moon, her eyebrows are gentle, she looks like a jade from a small family, and her voice is soft and waxy, which is slightly in contrast to her sister-in-law's identity.
Zhen Qing's jade face was faint, and a cold light flashed in her eyes, and she said: "It's all thanks to those officials from the Ministry of Industry. They tampered with everything. They even dared to move Gongling. They were so audacious and lawless."
Shen asked curiously, "Didn't Jinyi Mansion arrest many officials some time ago, and many people from the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Internal Affairs were imprisoned?"
At the end of the sentence, there was a look of lingering fear on his face.
When she was a child, she heard from her family that the prison was a prison, and it was really terrible.
Princess Zhen Xue of Beijing said softly: "We are still searching our homes these days. Many of the convicts' nearby residences have been sealed off by the Jinyi Mansion. People from the Ministry of Internal Affairs are following them to count their belongings."
Shen said with emotion: "I heard from my master that a lot of property was confiscated from the homes of these prisoners, which is more than the national treasury spends in a year."
"But I copied a lot of good items. Some of them are being sold in the East and West markets right now. I've been thinking about sending someone to buy a couple of them in the past two days." Zhen Qing said with a smile, then glanced at Qi Qi. Princess Xiang asked, "Sister-in-law, let's go pick out two pieces at some time."
This was an insult to the Xiang family, because when the King of Qi was deposed as a county prince, he had to replenish the profits he received from the Sanhe Gang and sold many items from his home.
Xiang's bright eyes narrowed, and she smiled softly and said: "Your Majesty, he doesn't like this. If there are ancient books, calligraphy and paintings, I would like to pick a few pieces to let Prince Tao control his temperament."
Obviously, this Xiang family is not stupid. Although he is Xiaojiabiyu, he hides his secrets and remains calm. Zhen Qing smiled and said with emotion: "That's such a pity."
She felt cold, it was the opposite of what she said. She didn't know what kind of character King Qi was? He was greedy for money and lived a luxurious life.
Her prince was the only one interested in these antique calligraphy and paintings, and he was trying to retaliate against her.
Zhen Xue vaguely heard something unanswerable, and just frowned.
A bunch of women gathered in the back house, not only talking about their children but also about their men's official affairs outside the home.
While several people were talking, a Ji Ji walked around the screen and said: "Princess, madam, Princess Nan'an is here."
Shen also took the opportunity to change the topic, smiled and said: "I think the old concubine should come over at this time."
Because the granddaughter of Princess Nan'an was recently canonized as the royal concubine of the King of Wei by the emperor, the Prince of Nan'an County also married the King of Wei. Now that the King of Wei has moved to a new residence, the King of Nan'an County has been ordered to go to the capital to inspect the border, so Princess Nan'an It's impossible not to come over.
Moreover, the wedding date has been discussed recently. After all, it is Queen Motoko and the feudal prince who are marrying the concubine, and a grand and warm ceremony must be held.
While they were talking, Princess Nan'an entered the hall with all the concubines, but to Zhen Qing and Zhen Xue's surprise, in addition to Luo Shi, the princess of Nan'an County who accompanied them, there were also Mrs. Xu, the mother of the bull's successor in Zhenguo, and Niu Jizong's wife, the Chu family.
It turned out that Mrs. Xu, the wife of Duke Zhenguo, went to the Duke Li's Mansion to visit Liu Fang, met Princess Nan'an, had lunch at Liu's house, and followed Princess Nan'an of Li to express the joy of moving to Prince Wei.
Of course, they also wanted to cling to the King of Wei. As Wu Xun, represented by Nan'an and Beijing, surrendered to the emperor, and even the prince of Nan'an County became in-laws with Emperor Chongping, the Duke of Zhen Guo and the Duke of Jiu Guo also changed their tune.
As for the early death of Luo's wife, the princess of Nan'an County, Luo's family was raised by a concubine two years ago, and her daughter was promised to King Wei Chen Ran. In terms of birth, King Wei was born as a concubine and then as a direct descendant, which is similar to Princess Wei's life experience.
The Prince of Nan'an County entered the hall, and all the women left after chatting.
Zhen Qing smiled and said: "Old concubine, I was just listening to the magpies chirping on the treetops, but you are so old, why did you come after the sound? We have already had lunch."
The smile on Princess Nan'an's face faded a bit and she said: "At noon, I first went to the Liu family and the Jin family. Something happened to them. The nephew Liu Fang and the young prince of the Jin family asked Ning Guo Uncle Heng of the government gave him dozens of canes and asked the imperial doctor to diagnose and treat him."
When Zhen Qing heard this, her heart trembled slightly, her clear eyes flashed, and she asked, "What do you mean?"
Zhen Xue also raised her gentle jade face curiously, looked at Concubine Nan'an with soft and beautiful eyes, and asked: "What's going on? Why are you still taking action in the palace?"
Although it was previously said that her sister Zhen Qing always pays attention to Ning Guo's Uncle Heng, Zhen Xue also became a little curious under the influence.
Mrs. Shen on the side also looked at Princess Nan'an, waiting for her words.
His daughter Song Yan put down the flower rope in her hand, raised a pretty face that looked like Queen Song, and looked over.
Princess Nan'an sat down and said: "Uncle Heng from Jia's East Mansion once became powerful, a villain succeeded, and his relatives disowned him. Needless to say, the affairs of the Ministry of Industry not long ago, and now Mr. Li Guo's family , from the Wang family of Xining County, he offended because of his dissent."
In the Ministry of Industry case yesterday, Princess Nan'an went to the Rongguo Mansion to plead for mercy, but she lost face. Today, when she went to the Liguo Mansion and talked with her, she learned that Mrs. Liguo's wife, Sun, was similar, and she found resonance.
Niu Jizong's wife, Mrs. Chu, said: "What the old concubine is talking about is the one from Ningguo Mansion. Why do you say that? In terms of meritorious service, there are countless meritorious deeds. Right now, he is a first-class man. Now he is saying that my master is going to Runing Mansion will definitely be defeated, isn't this a curse to cause trouble to my master?"
Mrs. Xu, the wife of Duke Zhenguo, said: "I heard that this person was originally a commoner. Such a poor person suddenly became rich. He suddenly gained power, and he didn't know how to get better. He has an extreme temperament."
"What the old lady said is reasonable. It is said that three generations cannot raise a nobleman. For these common people who were originally beyond the reach of the Duke's palace, suddenly gained power, they are extremely frivolous." Princess Nan'an Dian nodded and said.
Xu Shi, the wife of Duke Zhenguo, said: "But now it seems that the favored one in the palace is giving something. When we went to visit the Liu family's nephew, we heard that the palace also fined Liu Fang's nephew's salary. Isn't this just going against the grain?"
"You can't say this like that." Mrs. Shen frowned, stopped her resentful words, and said secretly, Mrs. Niu's wife is so ignorant, can she say such nonsense?
Mrs. Xu also felt that she had made a mistake and said quickly: "That's not what I meant. In other words, I am too fond of you. Today's young people don't know how to be generous. Mrs. Rongguo is also a tolerant person and doesn't care much about him."
When she said those words just now, she was using Shen's wind to blow into the ears of the person in Kunning Palace.
"This old sister from the Jia family is also in trouble and is not easy to control." At this time, Princess Nan'an continued and whispered: "This concubine has gained the upper hand. I heard that she was almost out of the fifth server. After arriving at the Ning Mansion, the elder sister of the Jia family must have been bullied by him."
Luo Shi, the wife of Princess Nan'an, answered: "I heard from the Wang family's daughter-in-law that this Uncle Heng is like a bully at home. He scolds whoever he wants. He even takes care of the marriage of the girl from Xifu."
As he said that, he raised his eyes to look at Princess Chu Zhen Qing and said: "Concubine Zhen, it seems that this happened last time, Prince Chu..."
Princess Chu Zhen Qing was noncommittal and said with a faint smile on her face: "I don't know about this." Princess Nan'an put her hand under the table and tugged on her daughter-in-law's sleeve.
Luo Shi laughed quickly and said, "I remembered it wrong. It seems that the Wang family's daughter-in-law proposed marriage to the eldest daughter of the second house in Rongguo Mansion. She said she was General Datong. However, this uncle Heng rejected her and said that this Rongguo mansion is here. The eldest daughter of the country's second wife is also very pitiful, she is already in her twenties."
These words are meant to make amends, but if they fail to make amends, they start to talk about right and wrong and divert the target of harm.
Zhen Xue listened on the sidelines, glanced at Luo Shi, and even felt a sense of disgust in her heart.
The second young lady of the Zhen family was considered a close friend of Yuan Chun back then.
Concubine Nan'an shook her head and said: "It's not easy for the old sister of the Jia family. Not long ago, something happened in Rongguo Mansion. The father and son were exiled to Guizhou, and even the title of Rongguo was lost. How many old sisters of the Jia family should I have?" It’s uncomfortable, the Dongfu is getting more and more powerful, and that’s why this incident happened.”
Xu Shi, the wife of the Duke of Zhenguo, said: "This is the truth. It is unbearable to see a concubine insulting a direct descendant."
Zhen Qing's eyes were slightly cold. What does it mean to treat a concubine as a concubine? You must know that your father is also a concubine, and his husband is also a concubine. What happened to the concubine?
As for Princess Nan'an and Mrs. Xu of Zhenguo, they all spoke to each other, and they seemed to have used the Wei Palace to hold a meeting to criticize Jia Heng.
Mrs. Shen listened to the conversation of several people and smiled and said: "Old concubine, what are you talking about? I don't understand. Which family are you talking about?"
Concubine Nan'an said: "???"
Working with her for half a day has been in vain, working in vain?
Zhen Xue said softly: "It's Uncle Heng from Ningguo Mansion, but is there any misunderstanding here?"
Song Yan raised her eyes and glanced at her mother, bit her pink lips with her teeth, and said to herself, her mother said this deliberately, presumably because she didn't want to get involved in the affairs of Taoists behind their backs?
I wonder why Jia Heng of Ningguo Mansion offended so many people?
Zhen Qing's clear eyes flashed, looking at this scene, for some reason, she felt like laughing.
Zhen Xue frowned and looked at Princess Nan'an, sighing in her heart.
This old concubine had a grudge against the Jia family and Uncle Heng because of what happened to the former Ministry of Labor. Xiang picked up the tea cup on the side and took a sip. He said nothing, it was none of his business and he just hung up.
Concubine Nan'an looked at Shen and said, "Mrs. Shen doesn't know. What did you think this uncle Heng said during the court meeting today? I heard that officials in Beijing are impeaching them because of this matter."
Zhen Qing's slender eyebrows were condensed, and her beautiful eyes were twinkling. She actually wanted to impeach? Mrs. Xu, the Duke of Zhenguo, then asked, "What are you impeaching him for?"
At this moment, the two old witches were singing together, almost teasing and complimenting each other, which is why Zhen Qing found it funny again just now.
"If you don't impeach him, who can he impeach?" Concubine Nan'an said, then looked at Shen and asked: "Mrs. Shen, I remember that the fourth son of the Shen family is now the magistrate of Xiangfu County, Kaifeng Prefecture, right? Look at what he said earlier What did he say? He said that the army of Runing Prefecture would be defeated, and that they would fight all the way to Kaifeng Prefecture, and Henan would be in chaos... His colleagues in the Military Aircraft Department did not believe him. I am an old friend of the Rongguo Mansion, so I wanted to remind him not to be too frivolous. It would be better for him to show off his majesty as the Commander-in-Chief in Imperial Guards and defeat the nephew of the Liu family and the crown prince of Xining County."
When Princess Nan'an said this, she shook her head and said, "Today's young people can do great things if they gain some power."
Mrs. Shen frowned and said, "This..."
Luo Shi answered: "Mrs. Shen, there are probably many memorials to impeach him in the past few days."
Concubine Nan'an looked at Xiang who was sitting quietly and silently, and asked: "Princess Qi, if I remember correctly, it was Jia Heng and Prince Qi who didn't deal with it in the first place?"
Zhen Qing looked at this scene with a gloomy look on her face, and secretly thought, is this a clique to deal with Uncle Heng?
Zhen Xue's daughter Shui Xin put down the flower rope and looked at the people with wide eyes, a bit of curiosity on her pink face.
"Sister Song, who are you talking about?" Shui Xin opened her big, watery eyes and asked Song Yan beside her in a soft voice. Song Yan pinched Shui Xin's chubby cheeks and said with a sweet smile: "My sister doesn't know anything about adults.
Zhen Qing quickly changed the subject and asked: "Old concubine, aunt, brother Wei Wang's good son, what date has been set?"
"It has been preliminarily decided that the end of this month will be an auspicious day for marriage. At that time, all the royal family members will come to the palace, and the ceremony for the canonization of the vassal king will also be held in the palace." Princess Nan'an said with a smile.
Always talking about the Jia family's affairs, which is a bit unlucky, or talking about happy events.
Zhen Xue sighed with emotion: "That ceremony was really grand."
Mrs. Shen also quickly changed the subject and said, "The Holy Emperor is going to give a banquet to hundreds of officials in Xihe Palace."
Zhen Qing's expression remained unchanged, but there was something strange in her heart.
I remember that when she was canonized as Princess Chu, although there was a royal canonization ceremony, there was no banquet given by the officials, and it was not as lively. This Queen Yuanzi was a little different after all.
Xiang also squeezed the handkerchief at the side, with his eyes lowered, he clearly had some thoughts in his mind.
Mrs. Zhenguo, the Duke's wife, smiled and said, "I guess Mrs. Qin will also come that day. I heard that she is the daughter of a small family. She must have never seen such a big ceremony before."
When Jiaheng took Guoyong camp from Niu Jizong, he was always hated by the Niu family.
While the Prince of Nan'an County just couldn't stand Jia Heng's frivolity, the Niu family almost hated Jia Heng for taking over the Guoyong Camp, and even stopped having contact with the Ning Mansion.
"Now she is no longer a daughter of a small family. She has become a third-rank official this time. The case of the Ministry of Industry will be left to Ning Guo." Concubine Nan'an said, chuckled and said: "It's just that I'm afraid that in the past few days, many public officials will use this matter to impeach me."
Seeing this scene, Mrs. Shen frowned and thought to herself, it was fine just now, why did it start again?
Zhen Xue pursed her lips, feeling a little helpless.
