Chapter 1680 Jia Heng: Well, it’s a bit of a bad taste.
In the first year of Qiande, mid-July——
Zijin Mountain is a place where the Jiangnan camp is stationed, with deep forests and lush greenery everywhere and bamboos rustling in the wind.
Ye Zhen, Marquis of Annan, had a blank expression on his face. His eyes were piercing and sharp under his thick dark green eyebrows. Accompanied by a large number of generals, he quickly approached the barracks where the Jiangnan camp was located.
Ye Zhen's expression became solemn, and a sharp light flashed in his fierce eyes. He said in a deep voice: "Follow my orders and take over the Jiangnan camp immediately."
At this moment, the generals of the Jiangnan camp heard this, their faces became stern and they all responded with a "yes".
At this moment, Ye Zhen, Marquis of Annan, was wearing a black cloak and sitting on a pearwood chair. His resolute and calm face was filled with majesty.
"General Zhao, immediately send a team of elite soldiers to the Governor's Mansion to discuss matters." Ye Zhen's face was dignified, his eyes were fierce, and he said in a deep voice.
When General Zhao heard this, his calm and resolute face became solemn and he asked, "Send troops to besiege the Governor's Mansion at this time?"
Ye Zhen's face was cold and his eyes flickered. He said in a deep voice, "You don't need to ask any questions. Just follow my orders."
However, this was a normal thing, because after several wars in Jiangnan, the Jiangnan camp had been completely taken over by officers promoted by Jia Heng.
Ye Zhen winked at Ye Cheng, a family general standing beside him, and said, "Pass the letter from the King of Wei to the generals."
The generals all looked surprised, then took the letter from Ye Cheng and passed it around to read one by one.
Not long after, the high-ranking generals of the Jiangnan camp below all turned their eyes to Annan Hou Ye Zhen, with mixed feelings.
Ye Zhen was silent for a moment, then said, "Everyone, the situation in Jiangnan is complicated and treacherous. Next, you must cooperate with me."
"Yes." Upon hearing this, the generals present had their eyes flickering, their faces becoming stern, and they responded in unison.
Ye Zhen, the Marquis of Annan, looked solemn and said in a loud voice: "Next, send troops to take over the Governor's Office and Jinling City."
The generals sitting below all responded in agreement without any objection.
As Annan Hou Ye Zhen's orders were conveyed one by one, the soldiers and generals in the Jiangnan camp all took action, with a solemn and murderous atmosphere.
……
……
Jinling, Liangjiang Governor's Office——
On this day, the summer rain was pouring down. Gusts of wind blew through the lotus flowers in front of the courtyard, scattering the petals and rippling the water.
Several officers with dark faces were standing lazily under the eaves, holding the goose-feather knives at their waists and keeping watch on the surroundings.
At this moment, a rhythmic "da da" sound was heard from the bluestone-paved streets, and then, red flags could be seen covering the sky and sweeping over.
The swords were unsheathed and the bows were strung, they were the soldiers from the Jiangnan camp.
"Come here, surround the Governor's Mansion for me!" At this moment, bursts of noisy noises were heard coming from the spacious streets, accompanied by the shouts of military generals.
Soon, a large number of soldiers from the Jiangnan camp were seen holding swords and guns, approaching the gate of the Governor's Mansion with murderous intent.
"Who are you? How dare you trespass into the Governor's Mansion?" The lieutenant colonel from the Governor's Battalion, who was in charge of the operation, looked dark and quickly drew the sword from his waist and asked loudly.
"We are following the order of Marshal Ye, Marquis of Annan, to take over the Governor's Office." The soldier in the Jiangnan camp shouted in a deep voice with a frosty face.
"You are really brave! Leading troops to besiege the Governor's Mansion, do you know what crime you are charged with? It is tantamount to treason, a crime of genocide!" The battalion commander of the Governor's Office shouted coldly.
The soldier from the Jiangnan camp who led the troops was a bearded man with a fierce look on his face. He said, "Brothers from the Dubiao camp, put down your weapons immediately and I will spare your lives!"
The lieutenant of the Governor's Battalion refused to budge. He shouted, "We are doing our duty. Do you know that you are guilty of trespassing into the Governor's Office?"
The Jiangnan camp soldier had a murderous look on his face. He shouted, "Come here, take over the Governor's Office immediately."
"Ping ping pong pong..."
Along with the sound of weapons clashing, a large number of soldiers from the Jiangnan camp swarmed in and surrounded the governor's office in an instant, almost like a tide.
Li Shouzhong in the governor's office had already "heard the news" and left the office and fled to Yangzhou.
At this moment, there were only a few young clerks still in the yamen. Upon seeing the ferocious soldiers from the Jiangnan camp, they became panicked and quickly dodged to the side.
Afterwards, the soldiers of the Jiangnan Camp completely controlled the entire Governor's Office and guarded several important roads in the office.
It can be said that there was no resistance at all, and the troops from the Jiangnan camp took over the entire Governor's Office.
Jinling, Hao's House——
In the study, a servant in a gray cloth shirt ran into the study in a hurry and said, "Master, the person sent by Lord Ye has arrived."
Sitting on a brown-colored armchair, Hao Jiru was wearing a scholar's cap, with deep wrinkles on his old face. Upon hearing this, he said happily, "Please come in quickly."
After a while, a young man in a military officer's robe entered the study, bowed to Hao Jiru, and said, "This subordinate greets Master Hao."
The person was none other than Ye Kai, the son of Ye Zhen, Marquis of Annan.
Hao Jiru's old eyes beneath his thin eyebrows seemed to be gleaming with a gleam of brilliance, and he asked in a clear voice, "What did your father say?"
Ye Kai's sword-like eyebrows slanted down to his temples, and his clear eyes sparkled with soft light. He said, "Mr. Hao, my father has already taken over the Jiangnan camp, and has just sent troops to take over the Liangjiang Governor's Office and Jinling City."
When Hao Jiru heard this, he was overjoyed and said, "Okay, okay."
As he said this, he turned his eyes to his eldest son Hao Huaizhen, who was standing by with his hands hanging down, and instructed him, "Huaizhen, go and get the manifesto that your father wrote earlier."
Ye Kai said: "Father once said that Master Hao's writing is so brilliant that it can be as powerful as a hundred thousand soldiers."
Upon hearing this, Hao Jiru stroked his three strands of beard with his hand, and a smile spread across his old, wrinkled face, saying, "Lord Ye, you are too kind."
He had been the chief minister of the cabinet and had seen countless scenes.
Ye Kai said: "Master Hao, from today onwards, Jiangnan can raise the banner of supporting the Han Dynasty and expelling traitors and villains."
Hao Jiru's eyes flickered under his thin brows and he said, "Yes, if Emperor Renzong or Emperor Shizong were here, they would also cheer for us Jiangnan scholars."
The Southern People’s Small Court, the Southern Court already has a set of bureaucratic institutions.
Ye Kai's clear eyes twinkled under his thick eyebrows, and he said, "Master Hao, the officials from Jiangnan are already waiting at the palace. His Royal Highness the King of Wu is also in the palace. It won't be too late for Mr. Hao to go over and take a look later."
Jinling originally had extremely magnificent palaces, and at the beginning of the founding of the Chen and Han dynasties, Jinling was even the political center. During the reign of Emperor Longzhi, Jinling even served as the temporary residence of Emperor Longzhi during his southern tours.
Hao Jiru's old eyes brightened under his thick eyebrows, and he said, "That's exactly what I mean. In the past, Emperor Taizu and Emperor Taizong unified the country from south to north. Now the powerful ministers are in power and disrupting the government. We should follow the path of Emperor Taizu and Emperor Taizong, and support the Han Dynasty again and eliminate the evil spirits."
Ye Kai nodded, but he sneered in his heart.
King Wei has already set a trap, waiting to send you both to hell.
By evening, when the night fell and the lights came on, the slight shouting and screaming in Jinling City had disappeared.
The entire Jinling city gradually returned to peace.
……
……
Three days later, Jia Heng, who was in Shenjing City, also received news of the rebellion in Jinling City through carrier pigeons.
Ningguo Mansion, inside the study room——
Chen Xiao looked at Jia Heng who entered the study room from the outside, handed him the paper in his hand, and said, "A pigeon from Nanjing sent a letter saying that Jiangnan has rebelled."
Jia Heng nodded and said, "Finally, it's a rebellion."
This rebellion was originally a rebellion and chaos carried out under his instructions, with the purpose of luring out the resistance forces in Jiangnan and trying to cleanse them up in one fell swoop.
For this reason, it was delayed from the spring of the first year of Qiande to the summer.
Chen Xiao's eyes flickered, and he asked, "What if an official in the capital is interested?"
Jia Heng nodded and said, "In the near future, the cabinet will issue an imperial decree to severely condemn the officials who rebelled in Jiangnan. At the same time, the court will send troops from the Beijing camp to conquer Jiangnan."
Chen Xiao looked thoughtful and said, "I will ask the Jinyifu guards to inform the cabinet right away."
"I just happened to be going to the palace right now." Jia Heng nodded, and then, without saying anything else, he quickly walked towards the palace.
When such a big thing happened, he also had to inform Tianniuer and discuss it properly.
Daming Palace, Kunning Palace
Queen Song had her hair in a bun made of green clouds and her clothes were bright and beautiful. Her graceful and gorgeous face looked quite bright and gorgeous under the sunlight.
At this moment, the beauty was sitting in the warm room on the west side, holding a piece of silk in her hand and making autumn clothes. Judging from the size, it seemed to be made for an adult man.
Not far away, Chen Luo, the Qiande Emperor of the Han Dynasty, was holding a book in his hand and flipping through it gently, with a look of concentration on his fair little face.
Queen Song raised her head, her beautiful face lit up with a smile, and said, "Luo'er, how do you like this book?"
Chen Luo raised his head, his black grape eyes as bright as stars, and asked: "Mother, Taizong imprisoned his father and killed his brother. Is he really a wise king?"
Queen Song said uncertainly, "Well, that should be the case. He established the Zhenguan Reign, which has been praised by generations to come. From this point of view, he must be a wise king without a doubt."
Chen Luo's face showed a thoughtful expression, and he murmured: "So as long as he accomplishes something great, even if it goes against moral principles, he will be a wise king?"
Queen Song thought for a moment, smiled, and said, "You've asked Mother, but Mother doesn't really understand this either. Wait until your brother-in-law comes, and then ask him."
Luo'er has grown up so much that he is already thinking about how to be a good emperor.
Chen Luo said in a clear and transparent voice: "Brother-in-law should know."
At this moment, a tall and slender female official entered the palace and said, "My lady, the King of Wei is here."
Soon, a young man in a python robe came quickly from not far away, with a smile on his resolute and calm face.
"Zi Yu, you're here." Queen Song asked with joy in her beautiful eyes.
Jia Heng said, "I greet the Queen Mother."
As he spoke, he looked at Chen Luo beside him, smiled, and asked, "Luo'er is reading a book."
Queen Song smiled and said, "Just now Luo'er asked why Emperor Taizong of Tang was such a wise ruler after seeing the Zhenguan Reign. I told him to ask you."
Chen Luo was silent for a moment, then said, "Brother-in-law, how could Emperor Taizong of Tang be a wise ruler when he imprisoned his father and killed his brother?"
Jia Heng walked closer, gently took Chen Luo's hand, and said, "Tang Taizong was a wise ruler, in terms of a ruler who was pacified. He may not be a good son or a good father, but to the people and the country, he was a wise ruler."
Chen Luo heard this, his bright eyes flickered, and he said: "Brother-in-law said that the wise ruler should be judged by his attitude towards the country and the people?"
Jia Heng smiled and asked, "Whether a ruler is wise or not is originally determined by the people of the world. Taizong only has some personal flaws, but not his moral integrity."
Chen Luo nodded and said softly, "Brother-in-law is right."
Jia Heng patted Chen Luo on the shoulder and said softly, "Luo'er will be able to become a wise ruler in the future."
Queen Song watched from a distance, a faint smile covering her graceful and beautiful face. Then, she looked at the female official standing beside her and said, "Help His Majesty out."
The female official responded softly, then led Chen Luo out of the hall quickly.
Jia Heng paused for a moment, looked at the beautiful lady, and said, "Jiangnan is in rebellion."
The smile on Queen Song's fair face gradually faded, and she asked with concern, "What happened?"
Jia Heng's face was as white as frost, and he said in a cold voice: "Many of the gentry in Jiangnan are dissatisfied with the court, and they are secretly colluding and planning to rise up against the court."
Queen Song frowned and whispered, "What's going on? What are you planning?"
Jia Heng's face was filled with coldness, and he said, "This time we are still trying to lure the snake out of its hole. If they want to start a rebellion, I might as well send them off."
Queen Song said softly, "Just be sensible and don't cause any big trouble."
While Jia Heng was talking, he walked closer, stretched out his hand to hold Queen Song's delicate hand, stared at her plump and lovely face, and said, "Don't worry, nothing will happen."
Queen Song said unhappily, "I am worried about you. Don't let the people from Jiangnan really cause any trouble."
Jia Heng hummed, stretched out his hand and gently embraced Queen Song's thin shoulders, and whispered: "This time, the careful planning is specifically to lure out those old foxes in Jiangnan."
Queen Song had a calm expression on her face. She stared at the young man in the python robe, then she leaned her delicate head with cascading black hair into Jia Heng's arms.
The two of them snuggled together for a while. Jia Heng looked at Queen Song's bright and beautiful face, and leaned close to her slightly pink lips, grabbing the sweetness.
Queen Song's face showed a trace of embarrassment and she said softly, "I am already so old."
Jia Heng's clear eyes flickered under his sword-like eyebrows, and he said, "Sweet girl is so beautiful, how can you say she is old?"
Queen Song said in a tone of reproach, "I'm afraid that in a few years, when I'm old and ugly, you'll start to dislike me."
Jia Heng gently put his arm around Queen Song's shoulder and said, "How could this happen to me?"
Queen Song snorted and said, "Men always get tired of the old and love the new."
As he spoke, he picked up the beautiful woman with a soft and fragrant body and walked towards the bed in the inner room.
After the two of them stayed together for a while, Jia Heng did not linger in Kunning Palace for long, but went to Funing Palace to look for Concubine Duanrong.
For some reason, I suddenly wanted to tell Concubine Duanrong and Chen Ze about the rebellion in Jiangnan to make them happy.
Well, it's a bit of a bad taste.
