"Ancestor, please take a rest first. I have made arrangements to leave the city."
When Jia Rong heard Mrs. You mention Feng Yibo, she didn't dare to talk about it anymore.
Although he and Feng Yibo are about the same age, Feng Yibo is much higher than him in seniority and status.
If he is provoked, his father Jia Zhen will definitely not let him go.
Immediately, he said goodbye to Mrs. You and walked around the house again.
After seeing that everything had been arranged, Jia Rong rushed back to the temple to report.
After getting the news here, Jia Zhen assigned various deacons and personnel overnight.
Prepare everyone for use, such as flags, poles, etc.
I asked someone to do some calculations and decided it would be at Mao hour on the fourth day of the lunar month.
Please bring the coffin into the city and return home.
Someone is already in charge here, so I am no longer needed.
Feng Yibo said something to Jia Zhen and his wife, then said goodbye and returned home.
I just want to go over to pay my respects when I'm doing business in Ning Mansion.
When he returned home, it was getting late.
But as soon as he entered the house, he was called by Li Shouzhong to speak.
The master and apprentice were sitting across from each other in the study, and Li Shouzhong asked directly:
"How about the Ning Mansion?"
Feng Yibo didn't think much and replied immediately:
"Brother Ningfu Zhen has returned from Xiaoci County, and he has brought the Holy Spirit's decree, which is scheduled for the fourth day of the Lunar New Year to bring the spirit back to the mansion for resting."
Li Shouzhong nodded when he heard this, with a bit of hesitation on his face, and asked again:
"Have you noticed anything unusual while you've been there these past few days?"
When Feng Yibo heard this, he was inevitably a little strange.
However, he thought about it and replied honestly:
"If there is anything abnormal, it is that the eldest man of the Ning Mansion swallowed gold and wore sand, which caused him to swell and swell to death."
When Li Shouzhong heard this, he was stunned for a moment.
Then he sighed softly and said:
"Hmm, so he committed suicide?"
Feng Yibo saw that his expression was different, so he frowned and said tentatively:
"My mentor, does he mean he suspects someone to kill him?"
Li Shouzhong seemed to be lost in thought after he finished speaking, and waved his hand after hearing the words.
"Not really, I was just asking casually."
This sounds like a cover-up.
Before Feng Yibo could ask any more questions, he still talked about him and asked first:
"You don't have to go back these days, do you?"
Seeing this, Feng Yibo became even more confused and said:
"Brother Zhen is back and taking charge personally, so I won't go."
After thinking for a while, he added:
"When Fu Ling returns to the capital, I will go over and pay my respects. This will also be considered as a relative's courtesy."
Li Shouzhong was a little absent-minded, nodded and stopped talking.
Seeing this, Feng Yibo hesitated for a moment and then said with concern:
"Teacher, I see that you are always worried..."
Li Shouzhong came back to his senses after hearing this, with a trace of hesitation on his face.
After a moment, he sighed heavily and said:
"Alas! Yibo, both the Jia family and the You family are related to you. It's appropriate for you to be helping out at Tiekang Temple these days."
Having said this, his expression became solemn and he warned:
"But remember, it doesn't matter to the You family, but it's better to get less involved in the affairs of the Ning family."
Li Shouzhong was an upright person and never said anything wrong about anyone behind his back.
Today, Feng Yibo was almost not allowed to go to or from Ning Mansion by name.
Feng Yibo was puzzled when he heard this, so he said directly:
"Teacher, I still don't quite understand what you are saying."….
Although the Ning Mansion is unbearable, it is only internal.
To be honest, Jia Zhen's relationship with him was not bad.
"It's precisely because you didn't understand that I didn't stop it. Things in the Ning Mansion are far more complicated than you think."
Li Shouzhong looked a little complicated and explained:
"It's okay to just move around as relatives, but if you get too close, there will inevitably be some trouble."
Feng Yibo was stunned when he heard this, looked at him in confusion and said:
"Why is this?"
Li Shouzhong looked reminiscing at this time and slowly told the beginning and end.
"At the time of Taizu, Jia Jing was the legitimate son of Duke Ning, and he was awarded Jinshi. He was unparalleled in the limelight and became a leading figure among the four princes and eight princes."
The first generation of the Jia family were the two Dukes Jia Yan and Jia Yuan.
From the names they gave their children and grandchildren, we can see their foresight.
The second generation of the Jia family is named Daihua, Daishan, Daixiu, Dairu...
As soon as you hear it, you can tell that it means cultivating good people and cultivating Confucianism to replace merit in the military.
If this is not obvious enough, the three generations directly use "文" as their generation.
Obviously the tone has been set for the continuation of the Jia family.
However, at that time, the world was initially settled, and there were still wars from time to time.
As the heirs to the throne, Jia Daishan and Jia Daihua personally led troops into battle.
The last one continued his position as Duke of the State, and the other took over the post of Jiedu Envoy of the Beijing Camp.
Although it did not achieve the results expected by the two founders, it also allowed the glory of the Jia family to continue.
Among the next three generations, Jia Fu died young.
Jia She is a standard dandy, uneducated and incompetent.
But Jia Jing and Jia Zheng are very motivated.
In particular, Jia Jing was extremely talented and became a Jinshi at a young age.
He was born as a Jinshi in Yimao Branch, more than thirty years ago.
Jia Jingxun was born in a noble family, his ancestor Yu Yin was Shanglong, and he was awarded Jinshi.
If it continues to develop steadily...
It is only a matter of time before he joins the cabinet and becomes the leader!
At that time, Jia Jing seemed to see the new glory of the Jia family in the future.
"It's a pity that more than twenty years ago, the Ning and Rong mansions wanted to carry out the old affairs of the Three Kingdoms, and each of them held a branch to support the two princes."
Many people know about Zhuge Liang, but many people don't know that the Zhuge family is a prominent local family.
Needless to say, Zhuge Liang’s status in the Shu Han Dynasty is
Among his brothers, Zhuge Jin lived in Sun Wu and Zhuge Dan lived in Cao Wei.
The three brothers were officials in the Three Kingdoms respectively, and they all held high positions.
This has been rare throughout history.
Some people even refer to them as the "dragon, tiger, and dog" of the Zhuge family based on this legend.
Of course, judging from the situation at the time, the three people probably did not do it intentionally.
But judging from the results, future generations will inevitably feel that this was the method of the big family.
This is a big game played by the Zhuge family.
Bet multiple ways!
As the saying goes, don't put all your eggs in one basket.
Feng Yibo actually couldn't understand such a thing.
With the status of the Jia family, it only needs to mediate in the middle and be impartial.
You shouldn't be involved in such a dilemma!
"The Rong Mansion is close to the Supreme Emperor, who is still a prince, while the Ning Mansion, headed by Jia Jing, is very close to the Taizu's eldest son, Prince Yi Zhong."
Among the descendants of Taizu, Prince Yi Zhong is the eldest, and the Emperor Taishang is the direct descendant. ….
Establishing a direct descendant has been a difficult problem since ancient times.
In particular, Taizu was reluctant to establish a prince, and countless people tried to persuade him.
Rongning's Second Mansion also has exactly two branches.
In order for the family to continue its glory, he chose to bet on both ends.
In the eyes of most people, it may be a stupid move.
But under the circumstances, it was helpless.
Taizu Changshou dominated the world and endured the death of many nobles.
The new generation of heads of households in each government does not have the prestige of their elders.
He can only passively participate in this fight for inheritance.
Although no one dared to say anything openly, the fight in the dark was fierce.
No one can stay out of it!
"It would have been fine if it was just to seize the legitimate son, but after the Emperor ascended to the throne, Prince Yohitada did not give up."
this
As soon as the words came out, Feng Yibo was stunned.
If you don't give up even after losing, isn't that considered rebellion?
But he had never heard of these secrets and had no idea that such a big thing had happened.
This shows the importance of family inheritance.
The Feng family is just a family of ordinary rural officials, even though his father once served in the Nanjing Ministry of War.
But he obviously doesn't know much about the major events in the capital.
Especially, Feng's father passed away early.
Even if he knew, it would be too late or unnecessary to say this to Feng Yibo.
"Thirteen years ago, Prince Yitada rebelled and assassinated the Supreme Emperor in the Tienwang Mountain layout. Although he failed and died, the Supreme Emperor was seriously injured as a result, so he hurriedly passed the throne to the current Holy Emperor."
Thirteen years ago, Emperor Tiantai ascended the throne.
Now he has ascended to the highest position, and he changed his name to Jingshun the following year.
Feng Yibo knew about this, but he didn't know the reason.
Unexpectedly, there is such a secret hidden in it.
But……
"Could it be that Ning Mansion... also participated in the assassination of the king?"
its not right!
After Feng Yibo said something, something was definitely wrong.
If Jia Jing had participated in the assassination, he would have had his family confiscated and exterminated by now, right?
Sure enough, Li Shouzhong heard his question, shook his head slightly and said:
"Although Jia Jing was not involved, he and Prince Yi Zhong still moved around after the Emperor ascended the throne. If we really investigate, it will be difficult to get rid of the relationship."
The founding nobles and the royal family all originated from Jinling, so it is inevitable that they are related to each other.
Even if Prince Yoshitaka loses power, some movement around is normal.
But Prince Yoshitaka planned to assassinate the emperor. Needless to say, if he succeeded.
But if he fails, then it won't be that simple.
I'm afraid it will involve countless people!
"Not just him, half of the four kings and eight princes were implicated in this matter."
Sure enough, no wonder the titles of many of the founding nobles were reduced so quickly!
Feng Yibo always thought that the Supreme Emperor did it intentionally.
Reducing the influence and power of nobles is what every qualified emperor should do after ascending to the throne.
Unexpectedly, he guessed wrong.
It took a long time to do it, it was not the emperor's method.
But being implicated!
"Jia Jing was also afraid of injuring his family at that time, so he resigned from his post and gave up his title. He imprisoned himself in Huizhen Temple. I heard that he only came back to worship his ancestors on New Year's Eve every year and ignored the rest."
Jia Jing didn't even attend the "funeral" of Keqing, his grandson-in-law.
He just told someone to stay in the mountains and practice Taoism.
Feng Yibo thought he was really obsessed with it and wanted to seek immortality.
Unexpectedly, Jia Jing was indeed pursuing relief. ….
But it's obviously not for cultivating immortality, but for the sake of the family.
"Among the four princes and eight princes, those who were implicated in this matter were either imprisoned themselves, or replaced by someone else and demoted to the rank of raider."
Even so, the four kings and eight princes should not be underestimated.
One can imagine how powerful their faction was back then.
Feng Yibo didn't expect that what he came into contact with was the "weakened" version.
Even so, he will be impeached and removed from office.
It can be seen how deep the foundation of the Four Kings and Eight Gongs is in the government and the public.
"Moreover, now they all keep a distance from Prince Zhongshun and dare not have the slightest connection. It is precisely because of this matter."
No wonder!
Feng Yibo had previously wondered why the Jia family and other nobles did not go around with Prince Zhongshun.
He thought that Prince Zhongshun controlled the Dragon Scale Guards and refused to interact with them.
Unexpectedly, it was also because of this!
"The eldest son of the historian, Shi Tuo (same pronunciation as the same power), died in Tiewen Mountain trying to save his life, and that is why the historian's family now has a double lord."
Shi Tuo, Shi's eldest son, was Shi Xiangyun's father.
Xiangyun is one year younger than Daiyu, and is exactly thirteen years old this year.
No wonder she was raised in her uncle's house when she was still a baby.
It turns out that this is what happened!
No wonder among the founding nobles, historians are different from others.
It is still reused today.
The two princes of the historian family were both high officials in the border areas, and they guarded the area silently.
"So there is such a secret."
Feng Yibo couldn't help but sigh after hearing this.
Everyone said that Rongfu was a lot of dandies, but I didn't expect that Ningfu was even more powerful.
He was even involved in the rebellion!
Looking at it this way, Jia She is a dandy and Jia Zheng is pedantic.
At most, the Jia family will gradually decline, but there will be no worries about inheritance.
Although Jia Jing is excellent, he almost hurt the roots of the Jia clan!
"So, my mentor is suspicious of Jia Jing's death..."
Obviously, Feng Yibo was asking about the Supreme Emperor.
If Jia Jing was really involved in the assassination, then the Supreme Emperor would have reason to kill him.
He also had this power that allowed him to die quietly.
But……
"no need."
Li Shouzhong shook his head and said directly:
"If that person wanted him to die, he would have died many times over."
After a pause, he added:
"Probably he felt that his sins were full and committed suicide by swallowing gold."
Feng Yibo heard this but didn't think so.
The Supreme Emperor was seriously injured by an assassination, and he still became a Buddhist monk.
It’s hard to say that we haven’t given up investigating over the years.
If it involves a little bit of involvement, it would be easy to kill him directly.
If evidence is found, it is possible to confiscate the entire family and exterminate the entire family!
Coming out of the study, Feng Yibo was still digesting these secrets.
This is the benefit of having a foundation, you may be able to save your life at some point.
It seems that he has to keep a distance from the four princes and princes, especially those who have been demoted to the highest rank.
As long as the Supreme Emperor is still there, there is no telling who will be involved.
This is a ticking time bomb!
While he was thinking about it, he came to rest at Sister Yousan's side.
He said a few words about the situation in the Ning Mansion, and also expressed concern about the situation of his second sister.
Sister You was more than three months pregnant, and her pregnancy symptoms gradually stopped.
Now I follow Feng Yibo’s requirements every day.
Meat, eggs, milk, vegetables and fruits, etc. are all available.
But I dare not let her eat more. ….
This is because giving birth to a child at this time is entirely up to you.
If you don’t eat, you will easily lack nutrients, but if you eat too much, you may die.
If the baby grows too big in the belly, it will be difficult to deliver.
At the same time, Feng Yibo also asked her to maintain an appropriate amount of activity to avoid becoming too weak.
The two people here were talking, and Sanjie You started to pester them.
Her sister is pregnant, which inevitably makes her have some comparison mentality.
A night of lingering is out of the question.
On the fourth day of the Lunar New Year, Jia Zhen helped Ling return home.
Along the way, there was a funeral ceremony and there were many guests.
From Tiekan Temple to Ningfu, there were more than tens of thousands of people walking along the road looking at each other!
Among them, some lamented the glory of Ning Guo's ancestors, while others envied Ning Guo's power.
There is also a class of rotten scholars who say, "Funeral ceremonies are more frugal than extravagant."
In short, passers-by talked a lot about Jia's house.
Before the announcement was made, the coffin was finally transported to Ning Mansion and parked in the main hall.
People came from all over the capital.
The memorial service and mourning had been completed, and relatives and friends gradually dispersed.
Feng Yibo kept Li Shouzhong's advice in mind and didn't want to stay any longer.
Go over and pay your respects. He hurriedly said goodbye.
For a while, only members of the Jia clan were left.
In charge of welcoming and seeing off guests.
All the close relatives of the Jia family are still in Xiaoci County and have not returned.
Only Baoyu and a few juniors stayed with him for a while.
Jia Zhen and Jia Rong, father and son, were under the rule of etiquette and law at this time.
arrest.
I can't help but borrow a piece of straw for a pillow next to the soul, and I hate living in mourning.
After the people dispersed, Baoyu returned directly to Rongfu.
Jia Zhen and his son went to the backyard to have fun with their concubines.
[Does today’s interpretation of Ning Mansion’s old events still meet the expectations of the big guys? 】
Confused and helpless
