Kunning Palace, in the palace
Zhen Qing sat down on a soft couch covered with a mattress, took the military report from the eunuch, read it on her fair and delicate face, and put it on a small table beside her.
Zhen Qing looked at Jia Heng intently and whispered, "Prince Wei, I have something to tell you."
Then, he ordered the female official to take Chen Jie and Yin Yin to the side hall to study.
The beauty stood up and went to the warm room in the inner room.
As they were talking, the two of them sat down.
Jia Heng pulled the beautiful woman's slender hand over and sat down next to her.
Well, there are no other men in the palace now, so he can pretty much do whatever he wants.
Zhen Qing's beautiful eyes were as bright as water under her emerald eyebrows. She said softly, "Over in Sichuan, the Beijing camp has stopped at Jiameng Pass. What are your plans next?"
Jia Heng thought for a moment and whispered, "Xie Zaiyi is a brave general. This time he is leading the troops to the battle..."
Zhen Qing's eyebrows were curved, her eyes were narrow and clear, and she whispered, "I was wondering if you could come over?"
As the beauty spoke, she stood up, squatted down, stretched out her slender hands, rustledly untied her robe, and moved her delicate head with cascading black hair closer.
Jia Heng's expression paused slightly, and he lowered his eyes to look at that beautiful and bright face. It was really hard to stop seeing the Empress Dowager, the mother of the country, serving him wholeheartedly.
Zhen Qing gently lifted a strand of hair from her ear, her fair face sunken from time to time. While waiting for a breath, she raised her eyes to look at Jia Heng and whispered, "Tell me about the situation in Sichuan and the rest of the country."
This bastard only knows how to enjoy himself, right?
Jia Heng was silent for a moment, then whispered, "In Sichuan, after the cabinet has drawn up an edict, the officers and soldiers of the Shu army will certainly be uneasy. At that time, the court can issue another edict to take the head of the Gao family and give them promotions and titles."
Jia Heng hissed and his eyebrows twitched.
Jia Heng whispered, "In addition, we can even mobilize Sichuan officials in Beijing to write letters to officials in Sichuan and explain the righteousness of the cause."
After hearing what Jia Heng said, Zhen Qing said in a gentle voice, "This method is very good."
While speaking, he stood up.
Jia Heng came forward, gently grasped Zhen Qing's voluptuous waist, held the beauty in his arms, and whispered, "The chaos in Sichuan will be easy to settle."
Zhen Qing snorted softly, her eyes sparkling like water, and whispered: "Jie'er is already confused, when are you going to teach him?"
Jia Heng paused for a moment, and whispered, "It's too early to learn any military or literary strategies now."
Zhen Qing's eyes were as bright as water, and she whispered, "Then you should go to the palace more often and spend more time with him."
Jia Heng's expression paused slightly, and he didn't say anything else. He felt the plump, round and soft breasts, and his heart trembled slightly.
Zhen Qingqiong snorted, and two blushes appeared on her plump and beautiful face, while her beautiful eyes were charming under her emerald eyebrows.
Jia Heng's eyes were warm and he said softly, "Let me tell you something."
It would be best to tell Zhen Qing about what Liu Zheng entrusted to him at this time.
Well, maybe this is also called pillow talk?
The golden hairpin in Zhen Qing's hair was shaking gently. She bit her pink lips with her pearly teeth and asked in a trembling voice, "What's the matter?"
Jia Heng said: "After Gao Zhongping was beheaded, the cabinet was missing a minister. According to the rules, Qi Kun will take the place of the deputy assistant minister, but the cabinet is still missing a minister."
Zhen Qing narrowed her eyes when she heard this and said, "Why, do you want to place your confidant again?"
Jia Heng raised his eyebrows, stood up suddenly, hugged Zhen Qing's plump waist, and whispered: "Place...what confidant?"
Zhen Qing quickly hugged Jia Heng's neck tightly, and said in a soft and charming voice, "Who do you want to recommend?"
Jia Heng whispered, "It's not a recommendation. According to the usual practice, the Cabinet will recommend Minister of Rites Liu Zheng to join the cabinet."
Zhen Qing paused for a moment, then whispered, "Liu Fei's father?"
Jia Heng said: "It is indeed Concubine Liu."
Zhen Qing's face was as bright as the clouds, and her voice was charming as she whispered, "A few days ago, Concubine Liu said that she was going to guard the coffin of Emperor Guangzong. If I hadn't thought of Jie'er's recent ascension to the throne and wanted to show some kindness to Jie'er, I would have wanted to send her down to reunite with Emperor Guangzong."
Jia Heng felt a little strange when listening to what the beauty said.
After Mopan became the empress dowager who ruled the country from behind the scenes, she became much more vicious under the influence of power.
Well, it seems to have more charm.
Thinking of this, Jia Heng's heart skipped a beat, and he felt like his heart was on fire and throbbing inexplicably.
The two of them lingered in love for an unknown period of time, until the afternoon.
……
……
On the imperial couch with the curtains drawn by golden hooks, Jia Heng stroked the beautiful woman's plump and soft snow-white breasts from behind, his eyes sparkling like water, and whispered, "Is it almost done?"
At this moment, Zhen Qing suddenly put her arms around Jia Heng's neck, and two blushes appeared on both sides of her fragrant and fair face.
Jia Heng put on his makeup and robe in an instant, then looked at the beautiful woman whose body was as soft as a silkworm. He stared at her pretty face with a sense of satisfaction in his heart.
Zhen Qing's eyebrows were as curved as willow leaves, and her fair face was slightly flushed. She whispered, "You don't have to stop eating before leaving?"
Jia Heng said, "It might not be good if others saw you lingering for so long."
Zhen Qingli's eyebrows were curved like willow leaves, and her beautiful eyes were as clear as water. She said unhappily, "You spent quite a lot of time just now."
Jia Heng was silent for a moment.
I don't know who was holding his neck and tossing him around just now.
But...it's not too late to have a meal here before leaving.
Jia Heng said: "Then I will go back later."
Zhen Qing stretched out a snow-white arm, propped up her body which was as soft as a silkworm, put on a skirt, and breathed softly from her lips.
The beauty's plump, bright face was like a sleeping crabapple in spring. After the rain, it looked even more rosy and red in its whiteness.
Jia Heng came to the side of the desk, picked up a teapot, poured himself a cup of tea, and then handed it to Zhen Qing.
Zhen Qing's fair face was as red as fire, and her beautiful eyes were as bright as water. She rolled her eyes at the young man in the python robe, took the teacup, put her pink lips down, and sipped a cup.
Jia Heng said: "Emperor Guangzong will be buried soon."
Before we knew it, it was August of the first year of Jianxing. In a few days it would be August 15th, the Mid-Autumn Festival.
When Zhen Qing raised her graceful and beautiful face, a look of joy was on her pretty face, and she said softly, "Yes, it has finally come to an end. In a few months, Jie'er will change the reign title. Has the reign title been decided?"
Jia Heng said: "The cabinet intends to name the year Qiande, and next year will be the first year of Qiande."
The Qiande era name was used by people in history, including Wang Yan, the last emperor of Former Shu, and Zhao Kuangyin, the first emperor of Song.
Zhen Qing said with emotion: "Jie'er is four or five years old now. Let him rule the country when he is fifteen."
Jia Heng: "..."
Do you still want to rule behind the scenes for ten years?
However, if ten years really pass, Mopan may not be willing to give up his power, as power itself is addictive.
Zhen Qing's beautiful eyes were filled with charm under her emerald eyebrows. She said, "When Jie'er grows up, I will enjoy a peaceful life."
Jia Heng asked in a clear voice: "Can't we enjoy a peaceful life now?"
Zhen Qing snorted with her beautiful, straight nose, and rolled her charming eyes at Jia Heng, saying, "You don't know how naughty your son is."
Jia Heng said: "After all, he will be a great ruler in the future, so it is normal for him to be a little naughty when he was young."
Boys are naturally naughty since childhood.
"I like to hear that." Zhen Qing raised her two beautiful eyebrows, her beautiful eyes as bright as water, and said softly.
The two of them quarreled and then stood up.
"Go check on Yinyin and Jie'er first. I'll have dinner with you after I take a bath." Zhen Qing frowned and said, "Every time you come here, you don't talk to Jie'er and Yinyin. I'm afraid you don't even know how old the children are."
I'm afraid the person in front of me still thinks his child is still in his cradle.
Humph……
Jia Heng hummed softly without saying much, and then went to the side hall.
When they returned to the side hall, Jia Heng looked up at Chen Jie who was reading a Thousand Character Classic and called out, "Jie'er."
"Godfather." Chen Jie raised his little head and looked at the young man in the python robe, his face full of joy.
Jia Heng smiled and said, "How many words does Jieer know?"
Chen Jie said proudly, "Godfather, I know more than a hundred characters now."
"Then godfather will test you." Jia Heng smiled, took the Thousand Character Classic, pointed to a character and asked, "How do you read this?"
"Huang." Chen Jie spoke eloquently, pointing at the words on the Thousand Character Classic.
Jia Heng smiled and said, "Jie'er has really grown up."
Well, it is true that he is no longer a baby in swaddling clothes.
He looked it up carefully... and after thinking about it, he really couldn't remember clearly whether Chen Jie and Yin Yin were born in the 16th or 17th year of Chongping.
However, Chongping reigned for twenty years, and by the first year of Jianxing, he was indeed four or five years old.
As for his eldest daughter, Jia Fu, she was born in the 16th year of Chongping. She was already five or six years old when he was conferred the title of first-class duke.
In the blink of an eye, the children have grown up and should be in elementary school in the future.
Yin Yin, who was not far away, curled her lips and said softly, "Godfather, he just remembered those two words."
Chen Jie made a face at his sister and said, "I remember a lot."
Jia Heng's bright eyes were full of doting under his sword-like brows. He smiled and said, "Yinyin knows a lot of words now, right?"
Yin Yin snorted softly and said in a soft voice: "I have recognized four or five hundred of them. I am not as stupid as A-di."
Jia Heng's expression paused for a moment. As he spoke, he walked closer, hugged Yinyin, looked at her delicate face, kissed her and said, "Yinyin, give your godfather a kiss."
Among his daughters, Yinyin's features are probably the most like his, and it is unknown what kind of personality she will have in the future.
Yin Yin suddenly said in a soft voice: "Godfather smells so good."
Jia Heng's face darkened, and he thought to himself, I forgot that I had just been in a passionate relationship with Zhen Qing, and now I am reeking of alluring makeup.
Put your precious daughter down.
After a while, Zhen Qing's clear voice came from the warm room behind the west window, saying, "Zi Yu."
As they were talking, the beauty changed into a plain dress with wide sleeves, and her plump face was flushed after taking a bath.
Jia Heng looked at Zhen Qing intently, thinking that as time went by, the millstone seemed to gradually gain a sense of peerless elegance.
Zhen Qing instructed the eunuch beside him, "Tell the imperial kitchen to prepare the meal."
Zhen Qing scolded her and said, "Okay, stop hugging Yinyin."
Jia Heng nodded and carried Yin Yin down.
Yinyin's face was rosy and her eyes were very lively. She said in a soft voice, "Let me hug my godfather."
Jia Heng smiled and said, "Wait a minute, let's eat."
Zhen Qing said, "In a couple of days, let Xue'er bring her child over here so that the children can gather together."
Jia Heng nodded, responded, and then started to eat with Zhen Qing.
……
……
After finishing his meal, Jia Heng did not linger in the room for long, but went out.
Ningguo Mansion, in the study room——
Jia Heng returned to the study room and when he raised his eyes, he saw Chen Xiao.
Chen Xiao said softly, "From Bashu, Xie Zaiyi had a confidential military report sent over 600 miles by express delivery. Come and take a look."
Jia Heng took the military report delivered by Chen Xiao, read it, and said in a gentle voice: "It is not a bad idea to take the Yinping Road and Micang Road."
Some moves don’t matter if they are old, as long as they are useful.
Chen Xiao looked at Jia Heng intently under her beautiful eyebrows and asked, "Didn't you just go to the palace to see the witch queen? What did the witch queen say?"
Jia Heng said: "I came up with an idea and asked the cabinet to draft an order to recruit the rebels from Bashu."
Chen Xiao nodded and said, "It's a good strategy to attack the heart first."
As Jia Heng spoke, he sat down on an embroidered cushion.
Chen Xiao frowned, her bright eyes sparkling like rainbows, and said angrily, "What's that smell on you? Go wash it off later."
It seems that he has had a lot of trouble with that millstone.
Jia Heng said, "It's always like this. Women are like wolves at thirty and tigers at forty."
Well, Xiaoxiao’s nose is still so sensitive.
After a while, Qingwen walked into the study. With her bright eyes and beautiful eyebrows, she said, "Sir, Second Madam Lian just came to call you."
The girl with thin shoulders, snake eyes and a coquettish look in her eyes and eyebrows has become much fuller-bodied and has a more noble air of being pampered after five or six years.
Jia Heng said, "Wait a minute, I'll take a shower and change my clothes before going over."
Fengjie called him at this time, probably because of something.
Qingwen responded softly, "Then I will help you bathe."
Jia Heng nodded, then talked to Chen Xiao for a while and went to take a shower and change clothes.
Jia Mansion, Cong Lu Tang
Sister Feng was sitting on a pearwood chair beside a high table in the hall, sipping her tea with her head down, but at this moment her beautiful face showed a look of absent-mindedness.
Ping'er stood aside.
At this moment, a familiar sound of footsteps was heard outside the corridor, and then a young man in a green shirt and a python robe with an upright figure walked into the room.
Ping Er quickly stood up and said in a sweet voice, "My Lord, I am here."
Jia Heng smiled and said, "Ping'er, I haven't seen you for a while."
It's been a while since I've had any fun with Fengjie and Ping'er.
Therefore, the reason why Fengjie came to look for him was probably not because she suddenly became pregnant.
Ping'er nodded, then came to a small table nearby, poured a cup of tea for Jia Heng, and looked at the young man in the python robe with infatuated eyes.
Jia Heng came closer, looked at Fengjie in surprise, and said, "What's going on?"
Sister Feng spoke in a complicated tone, "Just now, Lian Er sent a letter to Guizhou through someone else."
Jia Heng asked, "What's wrong?"
Could it be that Lian Er is dead? Well, if he is dead, he wouldn't have sent a letter through someone else.
Feng Jie's beautiful eyes were as bright as water under her willow-shaped eyebrows. She whispered, "Lian Er got the local warden's daughter pregnant and gave birth to a child. Now they are looking for an explanation."
Jia Heng: "..."
Jia Lian had to go through this wherever he went. He had been exiled for six or seven years.
Jia Heng's eyes were as bright as water, and he asked, "What do you want to say?"
Sister Feng looked a little embarrassed, and said angrily, "Lian Er said he was your cousin, and then he wrote me a letter, asking me to... beg you for mercy."
As Feng Ji spoke, she took out a letter from her sleeve and handed it to Jia Heng.
Jia Heng became the King of Wei of the Han Dynasty, in charge of the central government affairs. Even people in the remote Guizhou knew about Jia Heng's movements.
Jia Heng stretched out his hand, took the letter, and read it.
After thinking for a while, he smiled and said, "This local official is just trying to get close to him. I'm afraid that Jia Lian was able to marry the official's daughter with the official's tacit consent. Since she is pregnant, let Jia Lian marry his daughter."
It is no longer the Chongping period, it is just a matter of a letter from him.
Under Sister Feng's beautiful eyebrows, her bright and clear eyes were as bright as water. She asked, "What are you going to do?"
Jia Heng said, "I will write a letter to Zhang Fu, the commander of Guizhou, and ask him to take care of it and act as a matchmaker for the two of them."
He is the Minister of Military Affairs, and Zhang Fu, the commander-in-chief of Guizhou, will give him face.
As for Sun Xuan, the governor of Guizhou, he might not listen to his call, but that's not certain.
At present, among the local governors and governors-general, Henan Governor Shi Ding, Anhui Governor Li Shouzhong, and Taiwan Governor Xu Kai are considered his direct subordinates.
In addition, other governors, such as those of Huguang, Yunnan and Guizhou, Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and Guangdong and Guangxi, had little overlap and were still in the camp of the civil service group.
As the commander of the local military region, he had not had time to deploy personnel.
This was the reason why he was concerned about the civil service group before.
Such a huge dynasty and a huge bureaucratic machine was not something he could have established in less than ten years.
Although the attitudes of local governors and governors-general will depend on the direction of the central government, they may not necessarily ignore the greater good.
Sister Feng lowered her eyebrows, and her phoenix eyes showed a calm look. She said, "If that's the case, then the matter is over."
Six or seven years have passed since Jia Lian was exiled, and Feng Ji can't even remember what Jia Lian looks like.
Jia Heng said: "If Jia Lian can settle down in Guizhou and pass on his bloodline, the eldest branch of the Jia family will not be extinct. After a few years, there will be no big deal if the court grants amnesty and releases him."
No matter what, Fengjie is with him now.
However, will Jia Lian give birth to a daughter, Qiaojie?
