Chapter 1485 Tanchun: What do you mean by even? Can this be the same?
Ningguo Mansion
Jia Heng and Chen Xiao snuggled together for a while, but did not stay in the inner study for long. While talking, they headed towards the Grand View Garden.
It was the twelfth lunar month, the coldest time of winter. Jia Heng tightened his sleeves and walked along the corridor with black tiles and green railings. After thinking for a while, he headed towards Qiu Shuang Zhai where Tanchun was.
Qiu Shuang Zhai
Inside the side room, a fire was burning in a golden brass basin, and warm steam was rising up.
At this moment, Tanchun was holding a brush, standing behind a lacquered wooden desk. She lightly dipped the goat-hair brush into the ink on the inkstone and began to draw on the Huizhou rice paper.
The brush moves like a dragon and a phoenix, the gracefulness is slightly gone, and a heroic spirit comes in, illuminated by the winter sunlight, it is exactly the word "Heng".
Ever since Jia Heng and Tanchun kissed each other to seal their love, the girl often thought of that day.
Even if she wakes up from a dream in the middle of the night, the girl will wake up from her dream with a smile, with happiness and sweetness hidden in her heart.
After all, she is at the age of 28, when a young girl is in love.
At this moment, Tanchun's maidservant Shishu entered the room, looked at Tanchun with joy, and said, "Miss, the prince is here."
When Tanchun heard this, she turned her head and looked at him. Her bright eyes, beneath her handsome eyebrows, were filled with joy.
After a while, a whistling cold wind seemed to come from outside the window, blowing the overlapping and flickering rockery in the courtyard, making bursts of shrill screams.
"Brother Heng, you're here." Under Tanchun's beautiful eyebrows, her snow-white face was full of blush, just like the bright peach blossoms in February, delicate and charming.
Jia Heng nodded, looked deeply at her, and said, "Third sister, I came to see you. You are practicing calligraphy."
As he spoke, he glanced at the rice paper on the desk with a strange look in his eyes.
Yeah, I was just thinking about him again.
Tanchun's pretty face with fine eyebrows blushed, and her big, clear eyes blinked. She quickly moved forward, blocking Jia Heng's line of sight, and said, "Brother Heng, sit over here and have some tea together."
Jia Heng smiled softly, came forward, took Tanchun's hand, and said, "Third sister."
Tanchun felt more and more inexplicably shy, her cold face flushed, she raised her head with long black hair like a waterfall, and her eyes and eyebrows, which were the essence of her literary talent and worldly-wise, seemed to be filled with shyness and timidity.
As the girl spoke, her crystal clear heart was beating fast.
Immediately, Tanchun's beautiful face, as white as snow, flushed red. She closed her bright eyes with trembling eyelashes, feeling the pity and love of the young man in the python robe, and her heart was filled with sweetness.
Then, Tanchun felt her face burning like fire, and her delicate body was filled with heat. Soon, the girl felt the young man in the python costume playing tricks on her in front of her. She let out a soft moan through her nose, and then her delicate body trembled violently.
After a while, Jia Heng put his arm around Tanchun's shoulders, looked at her with eyes as bright as water, and said, "Third sister, sit here."
As he spoke, he gently embraced Tanchun and sat down on a soft mattress-covered bed in the inner room.
Tanchun felt the burning throbbing under her skirt. Under her smooth forehead, under her beautiful eyebrows, her bright eyes seemed to be filled with ripples. She called out infatuatedly, "Brother Heng, please stop making trouble."
"It's a little cold, let me warm my hands." Jia Heng said gently.
Tanchun: “…”
Just warm your hands, don't pinch them.
Jia Heng sighed and said, "Third sister has really grown up."
At this moment, the richness and softness between the palms and fingers seem to seep into the depths of my heart.
She feels like the girl next door who has just grown up.
Tanchun's charming and bright face was blushing like a rosy cloud, extending all the way to her delicate earlobes, which were as red as fire and translucent, and contrasted beautifully with the emerald earrings on her earlobes.
While Shishu and Cuimo were talking, he stood behind a wooden mica hibiscus embroidered screen, looking out at the wind for the two of them.
Tanchun snorted softly and gently fiddled with the hand of the young man in the python robe. Her big, heroic eyes beneath her handsome eyebrows seemed to be filled with a hint of shyness.
Jia Heng nodded and said, "Third sister, have you missed me recently?"
Under Tanchun's handsome eyebrows, her bright eyes were as bright as stars, her cherry teeth bit her slightly pink lips, and she said, "No."
Jia Heng: "..."
Then who was it who just put pen to paper?
There was a hint of amusement beneath Tanchun's pretty eyes and fine eyebrows. It was clear that her words just now were meant to tease Jia Heng.
Jia Heng looked at Tanchun, whose temperament was not much different from the one described in the original novel as "the essence of literary talent, forgetting the world", and said, "Sister Tanchun has really grown up."
The little girl who used to look at him with admiration and respect has now grown into a big girl and has become attached to him like a lover.
Tanchun asked in a trembling voice, "Brother Heng, aren't you in the government office today?"
Jia Heng held Tanchun's slender hand, feeling the softness between his fingers. He looked at Tanchun intently and whispered, "Third sister, you forgot that after returning to Beijing, there is basically nothing to do. I mainly stay in the mansion to accompany you."
This is also a rare long vacation for him.
Tanchun's eyes were as bright as water under her trimmed eyebrows, and she asked with concern: "Brother Heng, the situation in the capital is not very good recently."
Jia Heng whispered, "The situation is turbulent and undercurrents are surging."
Tanchun paused for a moment and asked, "Brother Heng, are you planning to ignore this?"
Jia Heng looked deeply and said, "The time has not come yet. We should act when the time comes."
As he spoke, he looked at Tanchun with a warm gaze, gently lifted her soft and slightly smooth chin, moved close to her lips, and suddenly kissed her plump and translucent lips.
Tanchun let out a moan, and a faint blush appeared on her innocent and bright face. She gently put her arms around Jia Heng's waist.
Then, the young man was seen suddenly lying on the front of his clothes, and then rolling around in the fragrance of rouge and powder, and then eating with relish.
Tanchun's face was as white as snow and as plump as clouds. Her voice was trembling for unknown reasons. She gently held the shoulders of the young man in the python robe, not knowing whether it was for his benefit.
After all, the girl was still an unmarried woman and had never experienced such a scene. At this moment, under the touch of the young man in the python robe, she felt her body trembling inexplicably, and her white and jade-like face was red as fire, as bright as the sunset.
After a while, Tanchun looked at the young man in the python robe with a sharp gaze under her slender eyebrows, and her voice was surprisingly soft and tender: "Brother Heng~"
Jia Heng stood up, looked at the girl whose eyes were filled with a hint of charm, and called out, "Third sister."
Having said that, he moved closer to the girl's soft lips and immediately held the moist liquid in his mouth, grabbing the clear and sweet taste.
Tanchun felt the young man's favor and love at this moment, and joy welled up in her heart. She said, "Brother Heng."
After a while, Jia Heng looked at Tanchun intently and whispered, "Third sister, let me serve you."
When Tanchun heard this, her heart trembled inexplicably, her bright eyes sparkled like stars, and her petite and delicate body almost collapsed into a pile of mud at this moment.
For some reason, Tanchun couldn't help but think of the scene she had seen through the window before, and her heart was trembling with inexplicable shock.
Then, the young man in the python costume came closer.
Tanchun's slender, white neck, like a swan, was gently raised at this moment, and her snow-white face was covered with a layer of rouge-red blush. Her heart was clearly trembling with inexplicable fear, and her delicate body was shaking unconsciously.
The cold wind was howling outside the window, blowing the snow foam on the rugged rocks, and it could be seen fluttering down all at once.
Jia Heng looked at Tanchun, whose delicate body was trembling, and said, "Third sister, it's okay."
As he said this, he took the handkerchief and wiped his hands.
Tanchun snorted softly, and her face with handsome eyes and well-shaped eyebrows was already covered with a blush, and her curved and dense eyelashes trembled.
Her delicate body was still trembling unconsciously.
Jia Heng looked at Tanchun intently and said, "Third sister, let me pour you a cup of tea."
As he spoke, he came to the side of the table, picked up the teapot, picked up a few teacups, and began to pour tea. He took a sip first, suppressing the sweetness and fragrance between his lips and teeth.
Tanchun's expression paused slightly, and with a tremor in her voice, she said, "Brother Heng, bring me a cup."
Jia Heng took a cup of blue and white porcelain tea, handed it over, and said, "Third sister, here it is."
Tanchun hummed, took the teacup and took a sip.
Jia Heng looked at the girl who later became a princess in the original novel, and gently stroked her soft and delicate skin, feeling a little fond of her.
Tanchun is indeed different from ordinary people. Even when she is moved, some of her reactions are full of an indescribable heroism, such as taking the initiative to greet him so that he can speak eloquently.
Tanchun calmed down now. Her eyes were bright and clear under her graceful eyebrows. She whispered, "Brother Heng bullied Sister Yun in the same way before, right?"
Because Xiangyun's name had been reported to the clan house by Jia Heng before, Tanchun guessed that the two of them might have already had such an affair.
Jia Heng looked a little strange, and said, "You can't say that. It's Xiangyun who bullies me. Why don't you bully me too?"
When Tanchun heard this, her innocent and naive face, as bright and innocent as a wild red flower, blushed as she hummed softly.
Brother Heng's true colors were finally revealed.
You just want her to serve you...
While Jia Heng was speaking, he leaned close to Tanchun's ear and whispered a few words, saying, "Third sister, please serve me."
Tanchun uttered a soft "hmm", then adjusted her skirt and moved closer to Jia Heng. A strand of her beautiful hair fell by her ear, from her snow-white cheek to behind her ear.
The girl had no idea how thrilling this action was in Jia Heng's eyes.
Jia Heng was lying on a bed covered with a soft mattress. His bright eyes were inexplicably distant, and there was a hint of daze on his calm face.
After an unknown amount of time, Tanchun coughed violently a few times, clearly because she was choked. When she raised her eyes, her delicate and bright face was as rosy as clouds, and there was a hint of anger in her bright eyes.
While Jia Heng was speaking, he handed over the handkerchief in his hand and said softly, "Third sister."
"Brother Heng only knows how to bully people." Tanchun said with inexplicable shame and annoyance.
Jia Heng smiled softly and said, "Didn't you just bully me? We're even now."
Tanchun raised her beautiful eyebrows, her soft and slightly shy eyes.
What does it mean to be even?
How can this be the same? It was Brother Heng who was bullying her.
Tanchun took the teacup, tilted her head back and took a sip. As her throat rolled, a gulping sound was heard, suppressing the turbidity between her lips and teeth.
While Jia Heng was talking, he whispered, "Third sister, how are you doing at home recently?"
There was a surprising tenderness in Tanchun's voice, her eyes were crystal clear, and she said, "Very good."
Jia Heng nodded and said, "That's good."
As he spoke, he straightened his clothes, raised his eyes to look at the dark sky outside the window, with a dazed look in his eyes.
Jia Heng stood up, sat down, sipped his tea, and thought about the upcoming court situation.
If I'm not mistaken, the kings of Wei and Liang will force the emperor to abdicate.
Under Tanchun's beautiful eyebrows, her charming eyes were filled with a hint of infatuation with her lover: "Brother Heng, it's already afternoon now."
Jia Heng nodded and said softly, "Third sister, please take a bath first. I will be back soon."
"Brother Heng, please go." Tanchun's voice was delicate and gentle. She spoke softly, feeling vaguely reluctant in her heart.
As he spoke, Jia Heng quickly left Qiu Shuang Zhai, planning to take a bath and then return to his study.
In the study, behind the lacquered wooden table under the windowsill, the beautiful lady heard footsteps outside the study, stood up and looked at the young man in the python robe.
Chen Xiao's sharp eyebrows and beautiful eyes stared at Jia Heng and said, "Master has something to see you about."
Jia Heng: "???"
What does the White Lotus Mother want to see him for at this time?
After thinking for a while, he frowned and asked, "What does your master want to see me for?"
Chen Xiao said: "Master said she has something important to tell you."
Jia Heng asked: "When?"
"We'll decide the location tonight later." Chen Xiao looked at Jia Heng and said.
Jia Heng nodded and said, "I'll go take a shower first, and then go see her after I've packed up."
Chen Xiao just watched Jia Heng leave the study.
The night was falling and the lights were coming on. It was a cold winter night in December of the 19th year of Chongping. The cold wind was biting and blowing on the face, almost like a knife cutting.
Jia Heng and Chen Xiao rode on their horses, heading towards the east of the city, relying on the sparse lights on both sides.
……
……
Jinyifu
Qiu Liang did not stop at this time and left the Prince of Wei's Mansion. He was surrounded by the Jinyi Guards and came to the Jinyi Mansion Yamen. At this moment, he sat on a lacquered wooden desk with a gloomy face.
Do you want to report this to His Majesty?
When this thought came to his mind, Qiu Liang felt an inexplicable chill in his heart.
If I report this to His Majesty, what if he gets furious?
Moreover, the King of Wei had not previously revealed any specific details of what he would do next.
Even if he reported it to the emperor, the King of Wei would never admit it and could even turn around and accuse him of spreading rumors and slander.
"I'm afraid that if I rush to the palace, I'll be strangled by the King of Wei's men on the way."
When Qiu Liang thought of this, he felt an inexplicable chill on his back, making him feel like his back was being thorned and he couldn't sit still.
After calming himself down, Qiu Liang didn't say anything else. He stood up, walked to the window, and took a deep breath.
Forget it, just ignore this matter completely. If the King of Wei can accomplish his goal, he will surely be grateful for this favor.
If things don’t work out, others won’t know about it either.
As Qiu Liang thought about this, the worry in his heart gradually subsided.
On the other side, in the study room of Prince Wei's Mansion -
The lights were bright, and the candle flames were like water splashing on a one-meter-high ladies' screen. In the animal-head incense burner in the room, the burning sandalwood and saltpeter were emitting a faint floating aroma.
King Chen Ran of Wei was talking with King Chen Wei of Liang, and not far below were Song Jing, Deng Wei, Xi Dongguang and three others.
Liang Wang Chen Wei's face was filled with coldness and he said in a deep voice, "Brother Wang, is Qiu Liang really so ungrateful?"
King Wei Chen Ran nodded, his eyes sparkling, and said, "He doesn't think highly of me, and chooses to be prudent and protect himself."
"Hateful." Liang Wang Chen Wei said angrily, and then asked with concern: "Brother Wang, what are your plans next?"
Whether the King of Wei can ascend the throne is related to whether he can become the Crown Prince. Therefore, the King of Liang is more eager to seize the throne than the King of Wei.
King Wei Chen Ran's sword-like brows flashed coldly, and he said, "What else can we do? We should proceed according to the original plan. According to the information from the scouts, the King of Chu will leave the palace in the middle of this month and go to the palace to thank the emperor for his grace. That will be our chance."
Over the years, King Wei Chen Ran has also cultivated many followers.
Liang Wang Chen Wei nodded and said, "Brother Wang, will the Beijing camp send troops into the city to intervene in the matter?"
King Wei Chen Ran said in a cold voice: "Without the order of the Cabinet and the Military Affairs Office, except for the soldiers for city defense, no soldier from the Capital Camp can enter the Shenjing City, and the Five Cities Military Command can control the entire capital."
The defense of the Shenjing City was mainly the responsibility of the garrison troops drawn from the Beijing Camp. The Cabinet and the Grand Council often adopted a system of rotation by drawing lots. Without an imperial edict or a transfer order from the Cabinet or the Grand Council, no one was allowed to enter the capital without permission, otherwise he would be charged with treason.
In other words, this part of the city defense troops did not intervene in the chaos in the city.
This is essentially a restriction on a certain prince who had used the Emperor's Sword many times to dispatch troops from the capital and was very famous.
The Five Cities Army under the control of the King of Wei, the guards of the two palaces of the King of Wei and the King of Liang, plus some of the elite troops of the Beijing Camp drawn from Wei Xian's father Wei Qi, totaled nearly 10,000 people, enough to launch a coup.
The guards at the palace gate were composed of sons of noble families such as Chen Yejun and Wei Ruolan, some of whom had also been in touch with the King of Wei.
It can be said that the King of Wei's position as the commander of the Five Cities Army provided sufficient convenience for his coup.
The two palace guards, the loyal warriors they have recruited, and the support of their father-in-law are the core forces that can help them break through.
All of this laid the foundation for a coup.
"We also have to be on guard against the Imperial Guards' cavalry. If they are there to protect the imperial palace, they may also be dispatched," said Song Jing.
Deng Wei said loudly, "Since Qiu Liang took over the Jinyi Mansion, he has been ostracizing dissidents. People in the Jinyi Mansion are not completely convinced. If he goes to the palace to report to my father in the next two days, we will kill him. If he does not move, it means that he will most likely hesitate on this matter."
King Wei Chen Ran nodded and said, "Mr. Deng, please introduce the plan."
Deng Wei said: "The first thing is to be quick. We must break into the palace before anyone reacts and control His Majesty and all the ministers."
While Deng Wei was talking, he walked to the screen, pointed at a map hanging on the wall, and said, "After the assassination of the King of Chu, the most important thing is to control the palace gates and block the streets from the palace to the outer city. No soldiers or messengers can leave the capital. The soldiers of the Beijing camp can be mobilized. Even if there is chaos in the city, the Beijing camp will hesitate and wait and see. Then we can control the cabinet and force the emperor to abdicate and let Your Highness supervise the country."
This plan is still very feasible.
Liang Wang's strategist, Chairman Dong Guang, looked deeply and said, "Mr. Deng, did you miss one person?"
"Who?" Deng Wei asked.
"Jia Ziyu." Xi Dongguang's eyes were gloomy, and he said in a low voice: "He is a man of many wisdom and strategies. If he is determined to support the King of Chu, with his prestige, he can also go out of the city to transfer the Beijing troops to Beijing to quell the rebellion."
King Wei's eyes darkened for a moment, and he said, "Jia Ziyu has ordered people to block Ningrong Street and wait for the final result."
Although the King of Wei was angry at Jia Heng for not helping him, Jia Heng was his brother-in-law after all, so he didn't really want to kill Jia Heng as well.
Besides, the King of Wei was somewhat wary of Jia Heng.
