Looking at the memorial thrown over by Emperor Longqing, Jia Cong silently flipped through it. In fact, he had already known the whole story from Dai Quan's mouth, and the reason why he did this was just for show.
I read through them one by one and found that the contents were very similar. They were all about impeaching myself, disrespecting the law, acting wantonly, and killing people indiscriminately.
Jia Cong had already prepared for this and was not in any panic. Jia Cong is not the kind of impulsive person who has no scruples when his brain is hot.
If he wants to do something, he will definitely leave a backup plan in advance, make a decision before taking action, and leave no clue for others.
Jia Cong read all the memorials, then put them aside neatly, and then calmly bowed his hand to Emperor Longqing.
"Reporting to your majesty, what was said in the memorial is indeed true. Those people were indeed sent to kill by my ministers. However, those people had their own way of death. Killing them can be regarded as eliminating harm for the people and serving your majesty. ." Emperor Longqing secretly cursed the little slippery man, asking him to say that not only was he right, but he also had merit. This kid is really getting more and more slippery.
However, this kid Jia Cong had a good reputation and good conduct in the past. He had no precedent of bullying others and acting recklessly.
Therefore, Emperor Longqing still somewhat believed his words. But when it comes to eliminating harm for the people and serving himself, he doesn't believe it at all.
These people must have provoked Jia Cong, so he dealt with them, otherwise he would not have taken the initiative to find trouble for these people.
Emperor Longqing said expressionlessly: "Stop talking about these things. Tell me truthfully what is going on." Jia Cong no longer hesitated and said with his hands in hand: "I obey your decree, Your Majesty, this is what you said. I had a concubine, and her mother was critically ill, so I went home to visit. I was worried, so I followed her over to have a look. Unexpectedly, when I arrived, I happened to see a group of gangsters making trouble at their home. They wanted to take my concubine away. The concubine said she was mine, but they turned a deaf ear and insisted on taking her away. A group of ruffians, the scum of society, scumbags, they dare not even look down on me. How can I endure this woman who still wants to touch me? I wanted to teach them a lesson and end the matter, but unexpectedly they made nonsense, saying that if I dared to touch them, the Zhou family would not let me go. Yes, I got rid of him in anger. That's what happened. Please see it clearly." Then he took out an account book and more than a dozen confessions from his arms and handed them over.
"Your Majesty, these are the confessions of those people and an account book. Your Majesty will know the crimes of these people at a glance. If it were your Majesty, I believe you would not let them go lightly." Dai Quan quickly stepped forward to take it. He turned around and sent it to Emperor Longqing.
Emperor Longqing took it over and looked through it carefully. He frowned and sighed secretly in his heart.
These people were really unlucky when they met Jia Cong. The main reason why they were dealt with was because they were members of the Zhou family.
This was Jia Cong's counterattack against the Zhou family's behavior some time ago. The Jia family and the Zhou family are both royal relatives, and they are both involved with him. Now that they are in conflict, he is also in a bit of a dilemma.
Emperor Longqing said: "Well, since they provoked you first, they deserve it. Let's let this matter go. But in the future, you, kid, be more honest and don't cause any more trouble for me." Jia Jia said. Hearing this, Cong knew that Emperor Longqing wanted to reconcile with Xini, and the Zhou family was obviously involved, but he turned a blind eye and felt unhappy.
After pondering for a while, he raised his hands again and said: "Your Majesty, the last time Zhou Hao led troops to intercept and kill me, it was a serious crime of treason. Your Majesty let the Zhou family go, and I have nothing to say. But not only did they not know how to restrain themselves, but they intensified their behavior, and once again If you take action against our Jia family, please ask Your Majesty to make the decision." Emperor Longqing also felt a little overwhelmed when he heard what Jia Cong said.
The Zhou family's affairs were all due to his own prince and noble concubine, so he didn't pursue the matter now. Everyone knows this kind of thing very well, and no one will say it directly without opening their eyes. They just turn a blind eye.
Jia Cong now lets himself make the decision for him. Isn't this putting himself in trouble? However, this matter is also the fault of the Zhou family. Why bother provoking Jia Cong all the time without causing any harm to him? Isn't this causing trouble for yourself?
It is naturally impossible to let yourself deal with the Zhou family. After all, there is Concubine Zhou here. After all, it is also the concubine's natal family. If you don't look at the monk's face and the Buddha's face, you still have to give some face.
But if you don't care, I'm afraid that the two families will get into trouble and become more and more stalemate, which will eventually get out of control. He was a little worried. If he ignored it and allowed the trouble to continue, if the Zhou family stirred up trouble again, Jia Cong might take action against the Zhou family. This was not what he wanted to see.
It seems that I have to step forward to mediate between the two families. Thinking of this, Emperor Longqing said: "You two are both relatives of the emperor. It is really inappropriate to continue to have such a quarrel. I am caught in the middle, and I am a little embarrassed. They say that it is better to dissolve enemies than to end them. This matter ends here. Until now, the grudges between your two families can be wiped out." Jia Cong didn't expect Emperor Longqing to say this, and he couldn't help but think deeply after hearing the words.
Now that Emperor Longqing has spoken, it is a golden word. He cannot violate it, and the Zhou family also dare not disobey him.
Of course this is only on the surface, who knows what’s going on behind the scenes? If Zhou Hao died in his own hands, it would be impossible for the Zhou family to just pretend it didn't happen. That was the hatred of killing his son, and this hatred would probably last forever.
Once they are given the opportunity, they will definitely find a way to kill themselves as soon as possible. I will also not let go of the Zhou family, I can only wait until I find an opportunity to take action in the future.
Jia Cong cupped his hands and said, "Since Your Majesty has spoken, I will naturally obey. But what if the Zhou family makes trouble for me again? I am a military general who is accustomed to killing and can't stand being bullied by others. If you can't help but strike back, Your Majesty can't blame me." Emperor Long Qing glanced at Jia Cong silently, feeling a little unhappy in his heart.
Although he agreed on the surface, his subsequent words were as if he had not agreed. If something happens again, this kid will probably take action against the Zhou family. This kind of result is not what he wants to see.
However, you can't suppress Jia Cong too hard, otherwise it may be counterproductive and make him alienate from you, which is a bit more gain than loss.
The value of Jia Cong is countless times greater than that of the Zhou family. As long as he remains loyal to the royal family, nothing will happen to Da Chu as long as he is around. If a critical moment comes, he can be pushed forward.
This kid still needs to be won over, and he can't have a bad opinion of himself. Thinking of this, he said to Dai Quan: "Dai Quan, you go to the Zhou family and tell me that the grievances between the Jia family and the Zhou family will be wiped out from today on. If the Zhou family dares to stir up trouble without permission again, they will be responsible for all the consequences. I will not interfere again." Dai Quan cupped his hands and said, "Old slave, I obey the order. I will go to the Zhou family to convey the order." As soon as he finished speaking, he respectfully withdrew and went to the Zhou family to convey the order.
Emperor Longqing looked at Jia Cong and said, "You must be satisfied now, right? However, you are not allowed to go to the Zhou family to cause trouble without authorization." Jia Cong said, "I obey the order. Your Majesty, your Majesty should know what I am doing. As a senior minister, I have never taken the initiative to bully others or find trouble for others. It was always others who provoked me first, and I then fought back. I don’t like killing people, and I hope that the world will be peaceful, with singing and dancing. Everyone can live comfortably." Seeing that Jia Cong agreed, Emperor Longqing couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief.
This kid is quite aware of current affairs, but listening to the back, why do I feel a little decadent? Emperor Longqing asked doubtfully: "You boy was not like this before. At that time, you were full of fighting spirit, full of confidence, and very motivated. Why are you so negative now?"
"This..." Jia Cong didn't know how to answer for a moment. He couldn't say, Your Majesty, don't you just want to see me like this?
After organizing his words, he said: "Your Majesty, you also said that was in the past. At that time, I had nothing. If I didn't risk my life and fight for it, I would be inactive all my life. It's just that I was lucky and made some achievements. I have received your majesty's love and canonized Ning Guogong. I can be considered successful and famous. I have greatly exceeded my goal. What else can I be dissatisfied with? When I was young, I was not very popular. If I am a little more sensible, I will I started practicing martial arts hard, and then went to the battlefield of Liaodong to fight with the barbarians. It can be said that I have never enjoyed it properly. Now that I have status, money, and a lot of time, it is time to enjoy it. , If you don't enjoy it while you are young, when you get older and your health is not good, even if you want to enjoy it, you may not be able to enjoy it." After listening to Jia Cong's words, Emperor Longqing remained silent, and he couldn't help but feel a little more in his heart. Feeling.
It can be said that Jia Cong grew up under his own watch. He has been in a relationship with him since he was eleven years old. Since then, he has never been out of his sight. He knows everything about Jia Cong.
This boy is also very good at things, and he is very friendly to me, which makes me like him very much. It's just that this kid is so powerful and so sharp that many people are afraid of him.
Although I believe that he is loyal to me, I am still a little worried after everyone's advice.
Then he took the opportunity to reduce his official position, intending to temper his temper, but he also didn't want him to become like those old sly men who only talked and did not do business.
From what he said, he actually enjoyed this kind of life. I heard that there were many beauties around him. Could it be that they were wearing down his will?
It is said that Wenwen Township is the Tomb of Heroes. Now it seems that it does make some sense. That kid Jia Cong stays in Wenwen Village every day, don't really raise him to death, that would be a bit more gain than loss.
Losing an invincible general was not what he wanted. Emperor Long Qing said: "You are so young, you just want to take care of yourself at home, and you have lost your ambition to make progress. This is not good. You can enjoy it, but you cannot lose your motivation. You still need to spend more time and study hard. That's right, if you don't learn more skills while you are young, it will be too late to learn when you are older." Jia Cong quickly handed over his hands and said: "Thank you for your Majesty's teaching. I will definitely remember your Majesty's words and learn my skills carefully when I go back. I will not disappoint His Majesty." Emperor Long Qing nodded and said, "Go, you are still young and have a bright future. Don't imitate those old tricksters." Jia Cong cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, please leave." Looking at Jia Cong's leaving figure, , Emperor Longqing couldn't help but sigh slightly.
'Why! Having a capable commander is a blessing for the empire, but once it is not grasped, it may become a disaster. This is a two-edged sword and must be treated with caution.
'I feel very pitiful when I think about it. As an emperor, I don't even have anyone to speak my mind to.
This may be the sadness of the emperor. Even the people closest to him, his own woman, cannot be completely trusted.
Thinking of this, I couldn't help but feel depressed. I no longer had the intention to review the memorial, so I stood up and walked out of the imperial study.
······Jia Cong left the imperial study and went straight out of the palace. Originally I wanted to visit the Queen, but after thinking about it I decided not to.
If he went to the queen every time he entered the palace, it would easily make people suspicious. Even if he didn't suspect that there was an affair between the two, he would still think that he had been bribed by the queen and would side with the eldest prince.
It would not be a good thing if this reached the ears of Emperor Longqing. The relationship between him and the queen is just a relationship of mutual use. There is no real feelings. When the two of them are together, they are just acting on each other.
To me, the queen is just a woman with a special status. Being able to conquer a queen of noble status and obeying me still gives me a sense of accomplishment and a sense of excitement.
The queen must have used herself mostly. She probably didn't have much affection. She just used herself to fill her emptiness and help her son ascend to the throne.
As for Concubine Chen, she seems to have some affection for him, maybe because of her youth.
Jia Cong left the palace and did not return directly to Ningguo Mansion. Instead, he turned a corner and went to Dai Quan's home.
At this time, Chan'er was already pregnant and was eight or nine months pregnant. In just over a month, her first child would be born.
Chan'er hasn't been in a very good mood recently, maybe because of prenatal depression. Jia Cong often comes over to talk to her and explain things to her.
In fact, this woman is just too lonely. She can't go anywhere while staying in this small courtyard. Coupled with the pregnancy reaction, I felt a little uneasy and started to think wildly.
Chan'er was very happy to see Jia Cong arriving. She quickly stood up to greet him and threw herself into Jia Cong's arms.
Jia Cong quickly supported him and said with a smile: "Be careful, you are heavy now, don't accidentally fall, it will be troublesome." Chan'er said: "Lang Jun, are you happy to see me? I can't help it anymore, can you still let me fall?" Jia Cong said: "With me here, of course there will be no problem. You should be more careful at ordinary times. If I hurt you, I will feel sorry for you. Chan'er smiled and said: "Lang Jun, do you feel sorry for Chan'er? Or do you feel sorry for the child?" Jia Cong said with a smile: "Of course I feel sorry for Chan'er. The child hasn't been born yet. Let Lao Dai take care of it in the future." Just love him. I'm only responsible for loving Chan'er." Chan'er said, "That's not okay. You are his biological father, how can you not love him." Jia Cong smiled and said, "Okay, okay, you two. Is it okay if it hurts?" Chan'er smiled and said, "That's pretty much it."
