Xihe Palace, at the southwest corner of the grandstand, colorful flags are fluttering and moving with the wind.
Imperial Concubine Duanrong, Princess Jinyang, Princess Xianning, Princess Nanyang, Wu Guiren and other palace concubines and princesses, as well as a number of royal wives, were waiting anxiously for the news from Xihe Palace.
Unless something collapses in the front hall, the female family members can only wait in the stands instead of rushing into Xihe Palace.
However, the process of the princess canonization ceremony in the palace must not only be conveyed to the civil and military officials outside Xihe Palace, but also be known to all the female relatives. If something serious happens, it must be reported.
Suddenly, a short and fat internal eunuch with a white face and beardless body came trotting over. He was out of breath and said: "Mother, the ministers are arguing fiercely. Master Jia's statement of the victory is full of doubts. There are no governors of Henan and others." The signature and seal of the General Manager of the Capital Division, as well as the handwriting of the Commander-in-Chief of the Capital, are also forged, so the successful report is doubtful, and it is actually a plan of the bandits to hide the truth! Master Shi, the Minister of Military Aircraft and the Minister of War, went out to echo... It happened that thousands of households in Jinyi came to report, Jinyi The secret spies sent by the government to Henan discovered the fall of Runing Prefecture in Henan, the fall of Kaifeng Prefecture, and the death of Zhou Dezhen, the governor of Henan..."
As soon as these words came out, all the imperial edicts turned pale, and they chattered incessantly.
Song Jing's wife Shen's face changed slightly and she murmured: "Is it true that something happened in Henan, as Jia Ziyu said before?"
When Princess Nan'an and Mrs. Xu, the mother of Niu Jizong, celebrated the housewarming of King Wei, the two of them teased each other as if they were talking to each other. It can be said that they left a deep impression on Mrs. Shen.
I also know something about the outpouring of criticism towards Jia Heng from the Beijing-based science and education officials. But now, is Jia Ziyu really right?
This is too...
Song Yan, the daughter of the Shen family, was talking to Shui Xin, the daughter of Princess Beijing. The cardamom girl raised her butterfly head, her face as white as snow, and her Wen Ning eyebrows that resembled Queen Song's, and she was surprised.
Remember URL
Jia Ziyu, whom his father often mentioned, was right, well, his fourth uncle is in Henan, what should we do?
Concubine Duanrong also had a look of astonishment on her face, her mouth opened slightly, and her heart was almost filled with turmoil. Henan civil unrest, Runing fell, Kaifeng fell?
How is this the same as the situation in Henan that was criticized by Jia Heng in Beijing within ten days? Well, no, Kaifeng, the fourth brother is now in Xiangfu County, Kaifeng, bad!
Thinking of this, Concubine Duanrong felt her heart tightening, and her charming face, which was originally clear and rosy, turned frosty white in an instant.
It would be best if nothing happens to the fourth brother.
When the other ladies of Gaoming suddenly heard the bad news, they were also stunned on the spot, dumbfounded.
Niu Jizong's mother, Mrs. Xu, stared blankly and murmured: "How is this possible? Jizong is supervising the army in Henan, and the report of meritorious service was written by him personally, and how could this victory report be fake... ,
This white-haired old woman in her late sixties found it hard to accept. How could the good news of success turn out to be false? The Runing Prefecture in Henan and the Kaifeng Prefecture had fallen. How could her son be fine?
Seeing her mother-in-law lost her mind and muttering to herself, Mrs. Chu quickly supported her and said anxiously: "Mom, Master, he...will nothing happen?"
Mrs. Xu held her forehead with one hand and whispered: "I, I'm a little dizzy..."
At this moment, the surprise on Jia Mu's old face was gradually replaced by doubt. For some reason, a trace of undue joy arose in her heart. She quickly suppressed it, turned to look at Qin Keqing, and asked in a low voice: "Brother Heng, daughter-in-law, How is this always happening?"
"My husband, he had previously deduced the situation in Henan, and he has been worried about it recently. It seems that the people sent to Henan to find out the news came here." Qin Keqing's hibiscus jade face showed a look of worry like the mist after the rising sun, slowly. After dispersing, Liu Ye's beautiful eyes under her slender eyebrows were bright and shining, and her voice was calm and calm. Under deliberate control, no joy could be heard.
At this time, it is really not good to "gloat", otherwise it will really be like hoping that the imperial court will be defeated.
Moreover, in an instant, a new look of worry appeared on the beauty's beautiful face.
There was a civil uprising in Henan, and war broke out. My husband, he was in charge of the soldiers and horses of the Beijing camp, and he was probably going to lead the troops to Henan to quell the rebellion, but these soldiers were fierce and dangerous.
Mrs. Wang was almost ecstatic when she suddenly heard the "good news". This... the good news was actually false. Henan was in chaos. Was he right?
Also, although he is too frivolous to look at, he is also capable and capable.
Mrs. Wang suddenly caught a glimpse of Mr. Xu's pale face, and she felt a sense of joy in her heart when she saw that he looked frightened, speechless and at a loss.
This old pious woman had been talking nonsense just now, and now she finally got her comeuppance.
Next to Mrs. Wang, Yuan Chun wore a bun with clouds on her temples. The worried look on her plump, white and greasy face slightly diminished and became bright again.
She knew that Hengdi was confident and would not be wrong.
The eldest princess of Jinyang had a faint look on her face, and her watery eyes were fixed on Xihe Palace.
Kaifeng has fallen, and the bandits have gathered more than 100,000 people, raised a rebel flag, and captured the city. The situation in Henan is almost in ruins, and it is bound to shock the world. What will the emperor do if he still has him?
Liu Fang's mother Sun's expression changed, and she suddenly said, "Did Brother Heng collude with the officials of Nanyang Mansion and Jinyi Mansion to deliberately lie and scare people?"
Hearing this, Princess Nan'an's Rushuang expression softened, and her heart moved, and she said, "Maybe he is the Commander-in-Chief in Jinyi, and it is not impossible to instruct his subordinates to tell lies."
Hearing this, Princess Xianning couldn't bear it anymore, her phoenix eyes flashed with cold light, and she almost scolded her with a stern look: "Who can and dares to falsify such a matter that is so disputed by the whole court? And collaborating with Jinyi Mansion and local officials? Such falsification will lead to failure. , a quick check revealed that even if there were dozens of heads, it wouldn’t be enough to cut off the three tribes of Yi and the disaster, and it was no surprise!
Princess Li Yue of Qinghe Princess frowned, and Zang Xing Yunyue's eyes glanced at Concubine Nan'an and Mrs. Sun, with the same hint of disgust.
These two old ladies chatted endlessly. Although Mr. Jia... was still capable, otherwise my mother wouldn't have...
Princess Nan'an's expression changed after hearing Princess Xianning's words, and she had to admit that this was the truth.
"Forging good news and deceiving the court are the only reasons to annihilate the three tribes. Especially Niu Jizong's petition for merit is very problematic." The eldest princess of Jinyang suddenly glanced at Niu Jizong's mother, Xu, and said quietly. Xu family and Chu family: "..."
When Niu Jizong's mother, Xu, heard the words "Destroy the three tribes", her vision went dark, her body swayed, and she almost fainted.
Mrs. Chu's face turned pale, her lips were trembling, and she whispered: "Since this is some kind of bandit trick, if even the master's memorial is forged, it has nothing to do with my master."
Yuan Chun looked at Mrs. Chu with the same sullen eyes, but said softly and softly: "I can't say that Mr. Niu may have joined the thief and helped the thief write a memorial to deceive the court. Now that something like this has happened, I don't know how much delay it has caused." It’s serious business, and you will definitely be severely punished afterwards.”
Mrs. Chu: "???"
Seeing Mrs. Chu's face turned pale, Yuan Chun's anxiety dissipated a little.
Just now, the Niu family used Hengdi's ready-made words to frighten the old lady. Now that the situation has changed, it's time to experience the feeling of being on tenterhooks.
At this moment, the other Madams Gaoming also looked at Mrs. Xu and Mrs. Chu, with complex expressions and mostly pity in their eyes.
Even if it is not to exterminate the three tribes, but to deceive the court in this way and make people happy in vain, it is inevitable to be expelled from the noble family.
It's hard to say, but the men were sent to prison and the women's family members were sent to the Jiaofang Department.
Princess Chu Zhen Qing loosened her handkerchief tightly, and looked at Zhen Xue. Shuli's face was full of surprise. She was confused for a moment, but she was speechless.
Feeling her sister's agitated mood, Zhen Xuetian's jade face reflected the afternoon sunlight, soft and holy, her bright eyes were slightly rippling, and she said softly: "Sister, this retribution is fake, otherwise such a big thing will not happen." At this stage of the dispute before the imperial court, no one could bear the blame. Besides, it was impossible for Mr. Heng to let Jinyi Mansion and local officials help deceive the imperial court.
If there is no absolute evidence, how dare Jia Ziyu say that the good news is false, not to mention that local officials are not restrained and help to lie!
And what’s the point of lying without any investigation at all?
If it is found out that the defeat report was fabricated to cover up lies, Jia Ziyu would be guilty of deceiving the emperor and digging his own grave.
In fact, this is why Emperor Chongping concluded that something must have happened in Henan without waiting for Liu Jixian to send people to capture and torture the bandits before they returned. Why should he ask anything else?
Otherwise, if you continue to have doubts and let the ministers argue about the Holy Son of Heaven, how stupid would it be to have your face swollen and still say I don’t believe it and it doesn’t hurt?
Should we wait until the bandits break into Shenjing City before we believe that the bandits are powerful?
"What my sister said is true. This matter will never happen again." Zhen Qing said in a low voice with her pink lips slightly opened.
Suddenly, her gorgeous face was as red as blood, and her beautiful eyes were full of autumn waves. She looked at her sister and said in a trembling voice: "Sister, this Jia Ziyu deduced the situation in Henan more than ten days ago and went against everyone's opinions. The situation in Henan is actually different from the situation in Henan." What he said is the same. Sister, tell me, is this person really a god who can pinch and calculate?"
If we talk about the incident in Beijing camp at the beginning, it can be said that Jia Heng, relying on his extensive coverage of Jinyi Mansion, could barely say a word of caution. But now, thousands of miles away, he dares to assert that changes have occurred in Henan, and the final derivation of the situation actually corresponds to what he said!
This is simply the power of ghosts and gods to predict the future!
Zhen Qing didn't know why at this moment. Thinking about this, she suddenly felt her heart beating violently. She felt that her delicate body became weak and her legs under her skirt closed together.
For such a talented person with world-wide knowledge, if he follows the prince, not to mention helping the prince to win the heir, he may be able to conquer the world again and rebuild the world, which is not without some success.
Thinking about it like this, I couldn't help but look at my sister, and saw that my sister was also surprised.
Sister, my good sister, in order for my sister to be able to be a mother to the world in the future, I can only... wrong you.
Zhen Xue's heart was filled with a shock and inexplicable emotion at this moment, Rouju said: "Sister, a leaf can tell the autumn, there are many wise men in ancient times, Jia Ziyu should be such a person.
But how old Jia Ziyu was, he was a few years younger than himself. I think the prince was even worse than him...
Well, what is she trying to do with Wang Ye in comparison with him?
This shouldn't be compared in the first place. Thinking of this, my heart skipped a beat and I quickly dispersed the sudden flying catkins.
"Mom, what's wrong with you and aunt?" At this time, Shui Xin came to Zhen Xue with Yin's arm in hand. Her pink face showed confusion about how the noisy adults suddenly became quiet. .
Zhen Xue gently rubbed Shui Xin's bangs and was about to speak.
Suddenly, an eunuch rolled up and down, picked up the wooden ladder and climbed up to the stand, almost sliding to his knees in front of Concubine Duanrong and others.
"Empress, Your Majesty heard that the good news was false. Kaifeng Mansion fell and the situation in Henan was corrupt. He... vomited blood and fainted." The eunuch's voice was choked with sobs when he finished speaking.
Concubine Duanrong was originally worried about the safety of her fourth brother Song Xuan. When she heard the bad news that the emperor vomited blood and fainted, she was struck like thunder. Her face turned gloomy and she murmured: "This... His Majesty?"
After hearing this report, all the imperial ladies were in an uproar and fell into a panic that lasted all day. The emperor vomited blood and fainted. Is this... is the mountain about to collapse?
If this is the case, this big man's sky is really going to fall!
The eldest princess of Jinyang had a gloomy look on her face, her beautiful eyebrows were knitted together, and her heart was filled with a layer of gloom.
The emperor's brother fainted at this time. If there were any shortcomings, I'm afraid there would be a big mess.
Princess Xianning heard her father vomiting blood and fainted. Her face was pale. She supported Concubine Duanrong and whispered: "Mother, my father..."
At this moment, Princess Nan'an's heart sank even more. When her daughter was canonized as a princess, Her Majesty vomited blood and fainted. This may be seen by some people as not a good omen but a bad omen?
No, what does it have to do with her girl? It was all a dispute between the courtiers and Jia Heng, who was so angry that the emperor vomited blood and fainted.
Zhen Qing's heart was beating wildly at this moment, and she felt that her breath was stagnant. If something happened to her father, her prince, no, not yet, her prince still lacked the support of the nobles in the court, such as his age and birth. , and there is no advantage at all.
Therefore, nothing can happen to my father, at least not now.
At this time, Zhen Xue also had a worried look on her face. There had just been trouble in Henan, and the emperor vomited blood and fainted again. She was afraid that there would be a big trouble in the capital, but the prince was not in the capital.
...
...
Xihe Palace
As Emperor Chongping vomited blood and fainted, the vast and empty hall suddenly became a mess. It was an indescribable chaos.
Jia Heng was supporting Emperor Chongping, and Empress Song was beside him. Jia Heng even stretched out a hand to support the fainted emperor, and the back of his hand accidentally touched the soft body in front of Empress Song who suddenly stood up. But he was so anxious, who could None of them paid attention.
Empress Song's snow-skinned and jade-faced face was obviously eclipsed by her beauty, but her beauty and elegance were not reduced at all, but instead became a bit more charming.
"Your Majesty, please lie down on the bed of clouds, and don't move it around. Just let your Majesty wait for the doctor." Jia Heng said urgently.
If the patient faints and does not know the details, it is best not to move.
The Empress of Song Dynasty was already in a state of chaos. After listening to Jia Heng's words, she responded with a "yes" and acted accordingly.
King Wei wanted to step forward at this moment, but Jia Heng ordered: "Your Highness, have someone prepare hot water and towels."
King Wei Chen Ran responded repeatedly and ordered the eunuchs to be busy.
Qi Chu and other kings had been driven farther away at this time, and their hearts were filled with a layer of gloom.
When their father fainted, they should be by his side, but as long as the woman with the most beautiful mother-in-law stayed by his side for a day, it was not their turn to come near.
Jia Heng helped Emperor Chongping lie down on the cloud bed and said loudly: "Quickly call the imperial doctor."
After saying that, he called the eunuch and summoned the imperial doctor. He stood up and called out to the officials who were crowding around him in the dark: "Don't crowd around. Your Majesty needs some ventilation."
At this time, the officials in the palace were stunned for a moment after hearing this. They just listened to the ventilation and hesitated for a moment, neither advancing nor retreating.
At this moment, the outer prisoner came over and said breathlessly: "The imperial doctor is here."
Several imperial doctors from the imperial hospital also ran all the way to the Xihe Palace. The officials moved out of the way and entered the imperial palace.
Jia Heng said: "Yuan Li, hurry up and treat the patient."
The imperial doctor surnamed Li quickly stepped forward to check Emperor Chongping's pulse and breath, then quickly took off the medicine box he carried with him and began to administer acupuncture to Emperor Chongping.
The two imperial doctors collaborated on the side.
Seeing that the palace was in such a mess, Jia Heng shouted loudly: "Where are the brocade clothes?"
Liu Jixian, a member of the Jinyi Mansion, and the Jinyi guards who were standing under the eaves of the corridor, quickly entered the palace amidst the messy footsteps, cupped their hands and said: "Captain."
"I use the Emperor's Sword to order the guards of the Jinyi Mansion to block the inside and outside of the palace with Jinyi guards, strictly control access, and lock the palace gates. Anyone who makes trouble, no matter who it is, will be captured on the spot!" Jia Heng He looked solemn and said coldly.
Liu Jixian was stunned on the spot, unable to react for a moment.
"The Emperor's Sword given by the Holy One is here, why don't you go quickly!" Jia Heng shouted.
"No." Liu Jixian said, and he and several other thousands of households in brocade clothes quickly headed outside. Yang Guochang was horrified when he saw this. He stared at Jia Heng closely and said in a trembling voice: "Jia Heng, you, you... what are you going to do?"
At this moment, the two cabinet ministers Han Huang and Zhao Mo looked at the young man in shock, and the other ministers also looked at the young man in python robes in surprise.
Not only civil servants, but also military officials and clan members.
What does Jia Ziyu want to do? He arranges Jin Yi to strictly control the palace gates. Is he going to take advantage of the unknown life and death of the emperor to rebel?
Xu Lu, the censor of Zuodu, his eyes flashed, he suppressed his intention to ask questions, frowned, and watched coldly.
"Before your Majesty wakes up, I am the Commander-in-Chief of Jinyi. I have the responsibility of guarding the guards and guarding against the poor. At this moment, no one is allowed to act rashly!" Jia Heng stood up and looked at Yang Guochang and other ministers without giving in. He lowered his head. He said: "The Queen and the feudal princes are sitting in the palace. What do you think this governor wants? What can I do?"
Of course, he was not plotting evil, but he was trying to prevent ambitious people from taking the opportunity to cause trouble.
Otherwise, if some unclear people go to Chonghua Palace to support the Supreme Emperor, or clamor to support a certain clan, this will be detrimental to the emperor and will also cause chaos.
He was the governor of Jinyi, and this move was precisely to safeguard the status of Emperor Chongping.
After Jia Heng said this, he looked at Yang Guochang and shouted: "At this time of crisis, Mr. Yang Ge, who is the chief minister of the imperial court, will he abandon his official position for personal reasons and ignore the overall situation?"
Hearing Jia Heng scolding the chief minister, the expressions of the officials in the palace changed, and they were inexplicably shocked.
However, after thinking about it, I am afraid that the most urgent person now is this young man who has not been in power for a long time and has little qualifications.
Moreover, after what happened previously, as long as the Holy One wakes up, this young man is afraid that his power will rise to an unimaginable level.
Yang Guochang's face was gloomy, his eyes were uncertain, and he was silent for a moment unexpectedly. Then he turned to look at the two colleagues in the Qi party who were looking at Jia Heng angrily, and said in a clear voice: "Be quiet, everyone be quiet!"
As the noise in the palace gradually subsided.
Yang Guochang said in a loud voice: "Now that your Majesty has fainted, we and other ministers have been favored by the Emperor. We should strictly abide by our duties and keep each of them safe. Now we should kneel down in front of the emperor and pray for blessings. How can we make a noise and make trouble? What kind of behavior is this!?" To this day, if something happens to the emperor, it will be difficult for him to take care of himself.
I'm afraid that Jia Heng, the child, will be the first to be operated on!
When the ministers heard this, their faces flashed and they pursed their lips without saying a word.
Han Huang looked solemnly, looking at the Zhejiang Party and the ministers, and said solemnly: "Your father is ill, are you going to mess up your own position and cause chaos in the world?
Some members of the Zhejiang Party in the hall originally wanted to open their mouths to argue with Yang Guochang, but after hearing this, they lowered their heads and did not dare to say anything more.
At this time, Zhao Mo also reprimanded the relevant officials of the Ministry of Punishment to suppress the situation.
Xu Lu, the censor of Zuodu, also reprimanded several censors of the Imperial Procuratorate.
None of them mentioned any unlucky words such as "life or death is unpredictable".
It is rare for several cabinet ministers to reach an agreement. It is indeed inappropriate for them to make a noise here.
At this moment, the captain in Jinyi outside the palace said anxiously: "The ministers outside the palace heard that His Majesty vomited blood and fainted, and wanted to come into the palace to visit."
Although the courtiers watching the ceremony did not witness the fainting scene in the palace with their own eyes, there were rumors that it was about to come out, making the courtiers restless.
Seeing that Han and Yang were willing to cooperate, Jia Heng's face softened a little and he bowed his hand, but his voice was still cold: "Mr. Yang Ge, Mr. Han Ge, Mr. Zhao Ge, Mr. Xu, please come here quickly." Outside the palace, he comforted the six ministers of the temple and other civil and military officials."
Yang Guochang's face was ashen, and he took a deep look at Jia Heng. Without saying another word, he went outside the palace to comfort the civil and military ministers who were anxiously waiting for the news.
Han Huang also looked solemn as he pulled Zhao Mo, the Secretary of the Ministry of Justice, whose expression changed and his mind was shaken, out of the Xihe Palace.
With the presence of three cabinet ministers and six ministries and nine ministers, they conveyed to the ministers that the emperor fainted temporarily due to the anger that attacked his heart. All ministers should strictly abide by their duties as ministers. They can kneel down to pray for the emperor, and they are not allowed to move around in a noisy manner, otherwise they will be severely punished. No loan!
Seeing this, the ministers outside the palace began to kneel down and pray for blessings, but they focused on the palace, speculating on the emperor's safety.
All the ministers inside and outside Xihe Palace knelt down and prayed for the unconscious Emperor Chongping. It was time for a heavy rain to come.
