"Finally we have come to this point. I don't know whether I am happy or sad." After Jia Jiu left, Jia Jing was silent for a long time before he faintly said these words.
Jia She also had a similar expression and said unwillingly: "The decree has not yet been issued, how about we go ask a saint to let Sister Yuan leave the palace to be married."
"Eldest sister doesn't want to leave the palace!"
The sudden childish voice surprised the two of them. When they lowered their heads, they saw that it was Jia Cong who had woken up from his sleep.
Jia Cong explained helplessly: "I have tried to persuade the Queen Mother several times before, but the eldest sister rejected my opinion. She said...she can't leave the palace, she can only find a way in the palace. Come and contribute to our family."
well!
Almost at the same time, Jia Jing and Jia She sighed deeply.
Sister Yuan is worthy of being a good daughter of the Jia family. She sees things clearly, thinks thoroughly, and knows how to choose.
Jia She was still unwilling and looked at Jia Jing expectantly.
But he saw Jia Jing sighing and shaking his head, and said slightly dejectedly: "Sister Yuan is right. When the saint acquiesced to her entering the palace to be elected, she had no way to leave the palace. Can the royal family really trust Jia Jia when she becomes the emperor? The bond of family, after all... the person who ascends the throne is not His Highness the Crown Prince!"
Jia She was silent. It wasn't that he didn't expect this, he just didn't want to admit it.
"Dai Quan asked someone to send the news, and we have to express our stance."
Jia Jing thought for a long time and made a decision after letting out a long sigh: "Tomorrow let Brother Cong go to the palace and ask for an audience with His Majesty in the name of asking for forgiveness. Since Sister Yuan's matter is irreversible, our family will try our best to make her No worries."
After the little fat man heard the word "please apologize", his buttocks began to hurt. He asked with a tangled look on his face: "Please forgive me? Is it for today? My nephew has the saint's oracle of absolution in his hand..."
Snapped!
Jia She gently patted his son on the head and warned: "Never mention your apologetic edict tomorrow. Remember, from today on, your first allegiance is to His Majesty. Even a saint will do it." Second place."
"ah?"
Jia Cong looked confused, but Jia Jing explained it to him.
"The news was spread by Dai Quan, which means that the saint is paving the way for His Majesty. Your father and I were the ministers selected by the Saint for His Highness the Crown Prince. Even if His Majesty doesn't mind, he will not completely believe us. You are different. , you are the thousand-mile horse that His Majesty has chosen personally. Your father and I are loyal to the Saint to protect the Jia family’s trust in the Saint. And you will be the leader of the next generation of the Jia family, so naturally you must put Your Majesty first."
The little fat man understood half of these words, but he couldn't quite understand the other half. However, this did not affect his judgment. He nodded and said, "How should I show my loyalty to His Majesty after my nephew is gone?"
Jia Jing solemnly warned: "You don't need to do anything deliberately. You just need to tell His Majesty that the Ningrong Jia family knows the crime and accepts the punishment. Please punish it."
…
It’s the twelfth lunar month, it’s so cold!
Jia Cong was wrapped into a chubby little bear by Yingchun and was taken to the side hall of Qinzheng Palace by the palace officials.
At this time, the main hall was very noisy and lively. Jiangnan, Japanese pirates, troops, lack of money, etc. could be heard faintly.
The noise got so loud that after a while there was a din of ping-pong-pong-pong-pong, and finally the court ended amidst the roar of Emperor Liu Heng. ….
A young eunuch came to invite Jia Cong and reminded him in a low voice: "Qianhu, please be careful, the emperor is not in a good mood."
Jia Cong thanked him and put a golden bean into the little eunuch's sleeve.
Liu Heng was originally in a good mood, but the urgent military information sent by Jiangnan just now made him angry.
Unexpectedly, when the Xiaochao meeting was discussing this military situation, the few assassins from the Governor's Mansion started fighting with the heads and deputy officials of the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Household.
Just hit me. Why the hell are you smashing my things?
Looking at the broken porcelain, tables and chairs in the main hall, Liu Heng felt distressed and angry. When he saw Jia Cong lying stupidly behind the porch with his head peeping out, he snorted coldly: "Look who I saw? Isn't this our heroic Mr. Cong who kills unruly slaves in the street?"
"Hey, Your Majesty also knows about this?"
Jia Cong's face turned red, he scratched his head and walked out.
He wanted to kneel down and kowtow to say hello, but because he was wearing too many clothes and was too bulky, he rolled forward, fell headlong, and rolled forward.
when!
"Ouch! It hurts!"
Can it not hurt? As Jia Cong rolled, his head accidentally hit the imperial steps. He covered his head and knelt down, curling up into a hedgehog shape.
Liu Heng was so angry and funny that he walked down the imperial steps, grabbed the lapel of his clothes and lifted him up. Seeing that the little fat man was holding himself back until his face turned red and he looked embarrassed, he couldn't help but feel much better.
"How stupid!"
Liu Heng threw it on a chair aside and sat beside him: "Tell me, if you don't recuperate at home and take care of your father, why are you coming to the palace?"
Jia Cong rubbed his forehead and sighed: "Oh, my cousin and my father asked me to admit my mistake to Your Majesty and ask Your Majesty to punish me."
"Then do you think you did something wrong?" Liu Heng asked funnyly.
Jia Cong raised his eyes and secretly glanced at the emperor with a joking expression, and replied with a pout: "The hatred for killing my father is irreconcilable. Although my father is fine now, it does not mean that I will not take revenge. I am not wrong!"
"Then you're here to apologize?"
Liu Heng laughed and asked again: "You think you are right, but I am punishing you. Will you be convinced?"
Jia Cong shook his head repeatedly and replied truthfully: "This is different. Your Majesty, you are the king. If the king wants his subjects to die, they have to die. If you think that I am at fault, then I am at fault. You can punish me no matter what."
"Well, you killed people in the street, set fire to the Huo family, and led people to smash more than a dozen official mansions. There is a riot of Japanese pirates in the south of the Yangtze River. I will not chop off your head. I will punish you with twenty canes. Go. How about being a fire-fighting soldier in front of the army, and then punishing you to compensate for the burning and smashing of the mansion?"
Well……
Jia Cong cried and begged for mercy with a cute face: "Don't, Your Majesty. It's my duty to serve Your Majesty before going to the army. Just forget about the fine. I've been slapped a lot recently, and my butt hurts... Also, I have no money." Ah, I have a dozen in my pocket, but I can’t even count twenty taels of silver…”
Snapped!
Jia Cong squatted on the ground holding his head.
Liu Heng said contemptuously: "Isn't that right? Whenever our Mr. Cong has some money, your little wife takes it away. How can he not be short of money?"
Hey Hey……
Jia Cong grinned, looked around and whispered: "Actually, I have hidden a lot of money. I'm just giving in to Sister Lin and making her happy."….
"Little fat man, you are quite compassionate."
"hey-hey……"
The monarch and his ministers chatted for a while, then turned the topic back to the matter of asking for forgiveness.
Liu Heng clasped his hands and asked, "What's going on? I don't believe Jia Jing would let you come here to plead guilty for no reason. This old fox has always taken one step at a time and watched three steps before he did such boring things."
"I would like to first seek confirmation from Your Majesty..."
"explain."
After getting Liu Heng's approval, Jia Cong solemnly asked: "Does Your Majesty intend to confederate your cousin, Jia Yuanchun, as your concubine?"
Liu Heng did not make any detours, he nodded straightforwardly and said: "It is indeed true. My father mentioned it personally, and I agreed."
Although the answer was already determined, Jia Cong was still a little disappointed. As a butterfly, I still couldn't change the fate of Yuanchun's concubine.
well!
Jia Cong sighed and looked at the emperor with a complicated expression: "When my father and cousin heard about this, they asked me to come to the palace to express my loyalty to His Majesty."
It’s really expected!
Liu Heng was not without joy, but also a little sad.
In the past, every civil and military person in the East Palace was now under his command in this way. It was really a time of change and a vicissitudes of life.
Liu Heng's expression changed again and again. After a long time, Youyou said, "Go back and tell your father and Jia Jing that they don't have to worry.
Jia Yuanchun. After all, she is the granddaughter of Xian Rongguo, and I will give her a stable life. There will be no shortage of decency and grace that they should have. Just ask them to do my errands properly. "
Jia Cong bowed respectfully and said, "I thank Your Majesty for your grace. I will be loyal to Your Majesty and swear allegiance to Him to the death!"
Liu Heng waved his hand and said: "Get up, I don't doubt your loyalty and the Jia family's loyalty. My father personally proposed the matter of becoming a concubine. There are some things that I have to do, so just treat it as if I were solving it for your Jia family." Just worry about it, after all, Jia Yuanchun is out of the palace, and there are many people who want to get advice about your family from her."
Of course there are quite a few, and Wang Ziteng alone is enough to give the Jia family a headache.
"My companion, please take Jia Cong to Cining Palace to meet the Queen Mother. Yesterday, the Queen Mother said that Jia Cong owes her a poem."
…
Qingci and other poems, as the Queen Mother, there is no shortage of these. I don’t know how many of them have been sent by the Hanlin Academy.
After hearing that the emperor asked Jia Cong to come over, Empress Dowager Cao did not really ask Jia Cong to write any Qingci. Instead, she summoned Yuanchun and asked her to take Jia Cong to speak in a side hall.
Yuanchun no longer wears the clothes of a female official. She is dressed in exquisite palace clothes, and the hairpin ring in her bun is also the best of the best.
She smiled and pinched Jia Cong's chubby face: "Brother Cong, why do you look unhappy?"
Jia Cong asked lonely: "Is the eldest sister really willing to be Nao Shizi's concubine?"
Yuanchun was stunned for a moment, then smiled and replied: "It seems that the news has been received at home! Brother Cong, do you still remember what I told you before? This is what I dreamed of."
"Oh, actually, it doesn't matter if my eldest sister leaves the palace. I am already capable of protecting her. In the palace, I really can't imagine how much suffering my eldest sister will suffer and how many plots she will be subjected to. What poisoning, frame-up, and one-foot-tall Hong, those concubines are constantly fighting to the death, it’s terrible!”
Jia Cong's words were true to his heart. In his previous life, he had watched countless dramas about palace battles, such as "The Legend of Zhen Huan" and "Ruyi's Royal Love in the Palace"...
Which woman who laughs last is not stepping on numerous corpses!
Um?
Yuanchun looked puzzled at first, and then burst into laughter.
She patted Jia Cong's head gently, with a funny look on her face: "What are you putting in your little head? There are indeed unavoidable fights in the palace, but there are also palace rules. Where are they? Are you talking so exaggeratedly? Besides, there are two saints and the Queen Mother in this palace."
Well……
Jia Cong scratched the back of his head in confusion, with a look of disbelief on his face.
Yuanchun had to explain the palace system to him, and repeatedly stated that the palace had its own rules, and there would be no such thing as being thrown into the cold palace or killing three clans after a disagreement, so he put away Jia Cong's worries. A little bit.
The two siblings talked for a long time, and even with the kindness of the Empress Dowager Cao, they gave Yuan Chun and Jia Cong lunch to talk about their family ties.
When Jia Cong was about to leave the palace after lunch, Yuan Chun whispered in his ear: "Someone slipped me a letter last night. I copied it. You take it back to Uncle Jing..."
As she spoke, she thrust a letter into Jia Cong's hand, with a solemn look on her face: "I have given the letter to the Queen Mother. Regardless of whether the content is true or false, Brother Cong must tell Uncle Jing that your Majesty has a keen eye." Ruju, this matter cannot be concealed. We hope to deal with it as soon as possible without delay!"
