Chapter 1539 Jia Heng: They had to agree...
Palace Garden, Wuying Hall
Jia Heng raised his head and looked at the cabinet minister Li Zan, and said softly, "Lord Li, is there anything else?"
Li Zan nodded and said in a clear voice: "The new emperor's coffin will be temporarily placed in the palace. The construction of the mausoleum will take a few months. We should quickly establish the Crown Prince to rule the world."
Jia Heng's expression paused slightly, his sword-like eyebrows raised, his eyes flickered, and he said, "After the seventh day of mourning, it won't be too late to support the Crown Prince."
Li Zan's expression paused slightly, but he didn't say anything else.
Lu Jiang looked coldly at the young man in the python costume.
This Prince of Wei is now wantonly wielding power, and his evil ambitions are obvious to all.
Jia Heng chatted with the cabinet ministers for a while, and did not linger in the palace for long, but went to Kunning Palace.
Palace Garden, Kunning Palace
Zhen Qing was wearing a plain dress with wide sleeves. She sat on a soft couch covered with a mattress. Her bun was beautiful and her face was as white as snow. Although she was not made up, her eyebrows and eyes were gorgeous and bright.
Zhen Xue was sitting on an embroidered cushion not far away, holding her precious son Shuiying in her arms. The beautiful woman's fragrant and fair face seemed to have a bright blush on both sides, making her look as bright as a peach and charming.
Chen Jie was playing with the flower rope with his sister Yin Yin. When the flower rope was turned up, both siblings had bright smiles on their faces.
Zhen Xue's eyebrows were curved like willow leaves, and her bright eyes were as bright as rainbows, as if there was an inexplicable feeling surging in them. She said softly, "Sister, the sisters are much more peaceful."
At this time, a female official came forward and said in a loud voice: "Madam, the Prince of Wei is here."
When Zhen Qing heard this, she couldn't help but look happy. When she turned to look at Zhen Xue, she also saw joy on Zhen Xue's face.
As he was speaking, the young man in python robes came quickly from outside the palace. His face was calm. He took a few quick steps, bowed to Zhen Qing, and said, "Greetings, Queen."
Zhen Qing raised her eyebrows, her eyes were like condensed dew, looking at the heroic young man, with a touch of joy in her eyes, she said: "Prince Wei, please don't be polite."
"Godfather~"
At this moment, Yin Yin, who was playing with her younger brother, called out to the young man in the python costume, and her voice became soft and cute.
Jia Heng nodded and said, "Yin Yin."
Then, he glanced at Zhen Xue beside him and said, "Xue'er, you are here too?"
Zhen Xue's eyebrows were curved, her eyes were as bright as water, and she said, "Zi Yu, you are here?"
Jia Heng smiled and said, "Come and see Yinyin and Jie'er."
As she spoke, she came close to Zhen Xue and hugged Yin Yin's delicate body. As she spoke, she saw her delicate little daughter kiss her on the cheek.
Jia Heng seemed a little annoyed and said softly, "Yinyin seems to have drooled on my face again now."
Yin Yin had a sweet and soft smile on her face and said softly, "Godfather."
The little girl was still young and didn't know that the white banner hanging outside the palace and the King of Chu lying in the coffin had left the world forever.
Zhen Qing stared at the father and daughter interacting with each other. Her beautiful eyes, sparkling like water, were beneath her curved eyebrows, and she felt an inexplicable joy in her heart.
They are now a family of three, enjoying the family life together.
After Jia Heng and Yin Yin played for a while, Zhen Qing raised her eyebrows and said softly, "Zi Yu, you have predicted what will happen next."
Jia Heng nodded and said, "It's all expected. The cabinet has been talking about the commander of the Five Cities Military Department these past two days."
Zhen Qing asked in surprise: "What exactly is going on?"
Jia Heng said: "They are all trivial matters, nothing else matters."
Zhen Qing's eyes flickered, and she said softly, "You need to be more careful about what's going on ahead. How is the Beijing camp these days?"
Jia Heng said: "The capital is still pursuing the White Lotus rebels, so this matter will take some time to complete."
While the two were talking, Zhen Qing asked the female official to leave and asked the nanny to carry Yinyin and Jie'er out of the warm room in the palace.
For a moment, only Jia Heng, Zhen Qing and Zhen Xue were left in the palace, and the summer afternoon sunlight shone into the hall.
Zhen Qing's curved eyebrows, her eyes like condensed dew, looked at the young man in the python robe, her face was as bright as the clouds, and she said softly: "Zi Yu, come with me."
As he spoke, he stood up and prepared to go to the warm room in the side hall. As he stood up, he called Zhen Xue who was standing beside him and said, "Sister, let's go together."
Zhen Xue responded softly without saying anything else. Her face was flushed and she had a rosy aura.
Jia Heng's face showed some helplessness. He really came to the palace to bring warmth.
In the warm room, the sunlight outside the window shines on the table, and the blue and white porcelain vase on it casts shadows.
Zhen Qing was wearing a plain dress with a hairpin with white pearls pinned to the side of her bun, which was swaying in the wind.
Jia Heng came forward, hugged Zhen Qing's plump body, felt the silent grinding of the millstone, and his face seemed to be somewhat refreshed.
As he spoke, his eyes flickered under his sword-like eyebrows, and he looked at Zhen Xue intently, and whispered, "Xue'er, what are you standing there for?"
Zhen Xue's rosy and chubby face was flushed and hot as fire. She made a soft "hmm" sound through her nose and then moved closer to Jia Heng.
Jia Heng gently took Zhen Xue's slender hand, just to feel its softness and smoothness. He didn't say anything more about him, and a thoughtful look appeared in his eyes.
Under Zhen Qing's curved eyebrows, her beautiful eyes were as bright as water. She said softly, "In a few days, when Jieer ascends the throne, I will ask the cabinet to promote you to the title of King Wei, and assist in state affairs."
Jia Heng responded softly, which was considered as his agreement.
He supported two new emperors. If the reign of Emperor Chongping is included, he can be said to have served as a minister for three dynasties and enjoyed great power.
Zhen Qing looked at the thoughtful young man in the python costume with eyes as bright as water, and asked with concern: "What are your plans recently?"
Jia Heng's expression paused slightly, and he felt a richness flowing in his palms. He smelled the subtle fragrance of orchid and musk in the beautiful woman's lush hair, and whispered, "Okay, we finally get to meet, let's not talk about this anymore."
At this moment, Zhen Qing's eyebrows and eyes were full of spring love and charm. She seemed to snort softly from her nose and said nothing else.
Jia Heng suddenly hugged Zhen Qing's slender hands and stroked her plump and round breasts. Suddenly, he felt waves of softness and fullness coming at him, which made Jia Heng's heart move.
Zhen Qing's cheeks, as white as snow, blushed. Her pretty and radiant eyes seemed to contain an inexplicable meaning. She said in a charming voice, "Why don't you stay in the palace in the name of guarding the late emperor's body?"
When Jia Heng heard this, he was surprised and said hesitantly, "This is not a good idea."
If they had secret meetings every night, I'm afraid the King of Chu would open his coffin one day and the evil spirit would come to claim my life.
Or they could just hug the millstone in mourning clothes and go to the coffin...
Well, I'm afraid this will be punished by God.
A hint of sarcasm flashed across Zhen Qing's beautiful eyes, and she said confidently, "What's wrong with that? It's not good for an old minister to guard the new emperor's body."
That man had treated her so badly in the past, and now she would make him wear a green hat even if he were to die in hell.
Jia Heng hesitated for a moment, his eyes filled with inexplicable meaning, and he said loudly: "There is no wall that is impenetrable in this world."
After all, he kept vigil right on the bed. If word of this got out, it would cause an uproar in the court and the public. He and Zhen Qing would then become an adulterous couple. How would others view them?
Zhen Qing's bright face was rosy, her charming eyes were as clear as water, and her voice was full of tenderness as she said, "Then I miss you."
As she spoke, the beauty wrapped her slender hands around Jia Heng's neck and moved her lips close to his, entangling him intimately. Her eyes and brows were filled with a charm that the King of Chu had never seen in his lifetime.
Zhen Xue's eyes were as clear as water, looking at the young man in the python robe with dew and sparkle. A faint blush could be seen on his snow-white face, just like the peach blossoms in February, delicate and beautiful like fire.
Jia Heng looked at Zhen Xue who was not far away with a sharp gaze, and called out softly, "Xue'er, come this way."
Zhen Xue didn't say anything else. With her face as white as snow, she quickly moved closer with a hint of shyness in her eyes.
……
……
I don’t know how long it took, but when the sun reached its zenith, the scorching sunlight shone through the wooden window lattices and onto the lacquered wooden table.
While Jia Heng was speaking, he gazed at Zhen Qing, who was lying quietly on a bamboo couch, her plump and graceful body almost limp into a ball. At this moment, the beautiful woman's eyes seemed to be narrowed, and there were waves in the corners of her eyebrows and eyes.
And that bright, charming face was flushed like peach, and there was a hint of strangeness in those narrow, clear eyes.
The millstone is becoming more and more unscrupulous nowadays.
He turned to look at Zhen Xue on the other side who was also like a ball of mud. Thinking of the beautiful woman's kindness just now, there was a hint of daze in his eyes as sharp as swords.
While Jia Heng was talking, he withdrew and walked away.
Under Zhen Qing's delicate, straight nose, she seemed to hum unconsciously, and her snow-white face was already densely covered with a layer of crystal beads of sweat. While speaking, she quickly glared at the young man in the python costume, her eyes full of shame and anger.
Zhen Xue standing beside her was not much better. Her snow-white face was also filled with rosy charm and looked bright and beautiful.
Zhen Qing frowned, and with her beautiful eyes, she looked at the young man in the python costume and whispered, "You are leaving."
Jia Heng stared at the dark sky outside and said in a deep voice, "It's getting late. If we stay here too long, I'm afraid outsiders will get confused."
On Zhen Qing's plump, fair body, one could see a rosy aura emanating from it, and she was trembling unconsciously, as if she was whispering softly in response. She had returned with a full load and was quite satisfied with it.
At this moment, when I looked at the young man again, there was a hint of infatuation in my mind.
It would be nice if she and he could be together day and night someday.
Jia Heng put on a black and red satin dragon robe with golden silk threads, and strode out of the palace in quick steps.
Jia Heng arrived in front of the hall and stood on the eaves of the corridor with blue bricks and black tiles. He stared at the side hall with white banners, with a cold look in his eyes.
If Qiu Liang hadn't harmed him, he could have been the emperor for a few more months.
……
……
Shenjing City, Ningguo Mansion, Grand View Garden——
On Chen Xiao's side, he and Gu Ruoqing were walking slowly along the corridor with green-painted railings in the Grand View Garden, admiring the magnificent scenery of lotus flowers in the summer lotus pond. They could see fields of lotus leaves and blooming flowers, and the fragrance of lotus and water lilies wafted in the air as the wind blew.
Chen Xiao walked briskly on a gravel path and said softly, "The situation in Beijing has not been very peaceful recently."
Gu Ruoqing's eyebrows were curved, her two soft pink lips were slightly parted, and she said: "Historically, powerful ministers in power are not achieved overnight. They often need to cultivate for more than ten years, or even decades, and cultivate a large number of followers."
Chen Xiao nodded, his eyes flickered, and said, "We'll have to wait for a while."
While the two were talking, they saw the maid Xiaohong walking quickly from the outside along the green-painted railings of the corridor and said to Chen Xiao, "Princess, the prince is back."
When Chen Xiao heard this, his bright and clear eyes flickered, and he looked at Gu Ruoqing beside him and whispered, "He's finally back."
After a while, Jia Heng walked quickly along the corridor with green-painted railings. His face under the wingless crown with the word "山" in it, illuminated by the scorching afternoon sun, showed his cold temperament and extraordinary heroism.
Chen Xiao looked at Jia Heng with a frown on her face. She asked, "Are you back?"
Needless to say, this man must have just entered the palace to have an affair with the evil queen.
Jia Heng looked a little uncomfortable, and whispered, "I'm back. You two have so much free time to stroll around the garden."
Chen Xiao's beautiful and bright cheeks were already charming and charming, her eyes flickered, and she said in a slightly unpleasant tone: "You might as well just live in the palace, so you don't have to run back and forth."
Under Jia Heng's sword-like brows, his bright eyes flickered inexplicably, and he said in a clear voice: "That's what I was thinking."
Chen Xiao was slightly stunned for a moment, and said nothing more. A hint of shame and anger appeared in his bright eyes.
This person is really not ashamed of it, but proud of it.
While Jia Heng was speaking, he followed Chen Xiao and Gu Ruoqing to the Conglu Hall with flying eaves and sat down. A maid came forward, served them fragrant tea, and then walked away slowly.
Chen Xiao stared at the young man in the python costume and asked, "What are your plans recently?"
Jia Heng pondered and said, "The palace should support the crown prince to succeed the throne in the next few days. At that time, the palace will ask the cabinet to issue an order to confer me the title of prince and then assist in the administration."
Chen Xiao's fair and beautiful face was filled with worry, and he said, "The cabinet may not agree to it."
Jia Heng said indifferently: "They have no choice but to agree."
Chen Yuan thought for a moment, and then continued, "The Jinyifu and Wucheng Bingmasi are searching the capital, and there is no news from Chen Yuan yet."
Jia Heng raised his eyebrows, a thoughtful look on his face, and said, "Chen Yuan may be of great use."
If there is a conflict with the civil service group in the future, the blame can be shifted to Chen Yuan, who can take the blame.
Chen Xiao nodded and said softly, "The Jinyi Palace's guards have been reorganized recently and replaced with a new batch of officers. The palace guards have also been replaced."
Jia Heng said: "Now the layout is almost complete. After the new emperor is buried, the imperial examination will proceed as usual, and some useful scholars will be discovered."
Chen Xiao said: "That's fine."
Jia Heng picked up the blue and white porcelain teacup, lowered his head, took a sip of the fragrant tea, and thought about how to reform the imperial examination system in this world.
But this matter cannot be acted upon rashly, otherwise, it would become Wang Mang's reform and would be wasted amid the wave of opposition from all over the country.
……
……
In Da'anfang in the southwest of Shenjing City——
It was an inconspicuous house, shaded by trees and lush and green. From a distance, the buildings were majestic and magnificent, with dark green eaves and tiles.
At this moment, Chen Yuan was sitting in a bright and clean hall, and his calm and sinister face seemed to be filled with gloom and uncertainty, and there seemed to be an indescribable coldness in his eyes.
"Young Master, the Beijing Camp and the Embroidered Uniform Guards have been searching everywhere these days. The capital is in turmoil and people are in panic." Ruan Yongde said in a deep voice.
Chen Yuan said coldly: "Jia Heng is so domineering, the cabinet officials will never tolerate him. If we wait for a while, there will definitely be internal strife."
Chen Yuan's eyes showed a hint of coldness, and he said, "Send more people to keep an eye on that Jia Heng kid these two days."
Ruan Yongde's sword-like eyebrows were covered with a layer of black murderous aura, and his eyes flickered. He said in a deep voice: "Sir, Qiu Liang is now in the Jinyi Palace Prison. He sent an old servant to deliver a letter to our people, saying that he had something urgent to report to us, and he only wanted us to rescue him."
Chen Yuan raised his sword-like eyebrows, his eyes flashing with coldness, and said: "He is in prison now, what urgent matter can he have? Don't listen to his nonsense anymore."
Ruan Yongde said: "Qiu Liang said it was a big secret that could bring ruin to Prince Wei Jia Heng's reputation."
Upon hearing this, Chen Yuan frowned, and a thoughtful expression appeared on his face. He asked in surprise, "What is the big secret that ruined your reputation?"
What other big secret could it be that brought about his downfall?
Ruan Yongde said, "Sir, Qiu Liang is the commander of the Jinyi Palace, and his subordinates have done a lot of investigations. Most of them probably know some scandals of Wei Jun Wang Jia Heng, otherwise he would not be so sure. If we expose it, Qiu Liang will definitely not dare to say anything else."
Chen Yuan's face was solemn, his eyes were cold, and he said, "Pick a group of people immediately to rescue him. I want to see what secrets he can reveal."
Ruan Yongde clasped his fists in response.
After Ruan Yongde left, Chen Yuan's face had become as dark as iron, and his eyes were as gloomy as ice.
This little Jia Heng has been ruining his plans since the Jurchens of Liaodong were still around, and he has been ruining his plans one after another since then.
This is simply outrageous!
Jia Heng can no longer be allowed to live, and we need to find a way to get rid of him.
Chen Yuan secretly swears in his heart.
