Chapter 1537 Zhen Qing: The throne belongs to Jie'er, no one can take it away!
Palace Garden, Kunning Palace
Zhen Qing was wearing a plain dress with wide sleeves, sitting on a soft couch. There were still traces of tears on her face, which was as beautiful as a lotus. Her beautiful eyes, which were sparkling with water, were undoubtedly red and swollen like peaches because of crying for many days.
After a while, a tall female official came quickly and said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, the Prince of Wei wants to see you."
Zhen Qing's eyebrows were curved like willow leaves, her face was as cold as frost. She paused, her eyes were as clear as water, and she said coquettishly, "Xuan."
After a while, the young man in python robe came quickly. Zhen Qing's beautiful eyes were as charming and flowing as a spring mountain with emerald green eyebrows. They were slightly sparkling, as if they contained some coquettish meaning. She asked softly, "Why did you come back?"
Didn’t this bastard just go to see the Demon Queen and now he’s back?
Jia Heng's eyebrows curved, his expression paused slightly, and he said softly: "There are a few things I want to discuss with you."
Zhen Qing's expression paused slightly, with a hint of surprise in her beautiful eyes, and she asked, "What's the matter?"
Jia Heng glanced at the female officials serving on his left and right and said softly, "Your Majesty, please dismiss the attendants."
Although he no longer had any worries in the palace, he still had to pay attention to his reputation outside.
When Zhen Qing heard this, a bright blush gradually appeared on her beautiful and voluptuous face.
This enemy, what is he going to do?
However, that man had been assassinated, so she didn't have to worry about him coming back suddenly.
Just like that, the beauty dismissed the female officials who were serving her, and with her plump and round breasts she left the soft couch covered with a mattress and walked quickly towards the warm room in the inner room.
At this moment, in the warm room of the side hall, the beautiful lady looked at the young man in the python robe and asked, "What do you want to say?"
Just like that, Jia Heng quickly stepped forward, took Zhen Qing's slender hand, and said hesitantly, "Don't argue with the people in Kunning Palace anymore."
Zhen Qing sneered and said, "I am too lazy to pay attention to her now."
Zhen Qing said this, looking at Jia Heng suspiciously, and asked, "Why are you bringing this up again?"
Jia Heng remained silent for a moment, then said, "The Funing Palace wants Luo'er to ascend the throne."
When Zhen Qing heard this, a layer of frost suddenly covered her fair and smooth snow-white cheeks, and a trace of coldness surged in her eyes. She said in a cold voice: "She really wants to go blind!"
Jia Heng was speechless for a while.
At this moment, Zhen Qing suddenly looked at Jia Heng with a cold and sarcastic look in her beautiful eyes, and asked, "Luo'er, he is also your child, right?"
This bastard has always been a playboy and absurd. Luo'er must be his child!
Otherwise, why would he talk about making Luo'er the throne for no reason?
This time, Jia Heng did not evade the denial and said, "There is another hidden story behind this matter."
Zhen Qing's beautiful face turned slightly cold, and she said angrily, "What else could be hidden? It's just that you were attracted by her beauty, what else could it be?"
Jia Heng paused for a moment, then said in a gentle voice, "It's hard to explain this matter in a few words. It can only be said to be a coincidence."
Zhen Qing said coldly: "Is there anything you can't explain? Now tell me, what should Jie'er and I do?"
Jia Heng said, "Okay, stop being so persistent. You are both in the harem now, so don't act too recklessly."
Zhen Qing's eyebrows were curved, and there was an inexplicable sneer in her beautiful eyes. She said coldly: "I tell you, we can live in harmony, but her son must not get involved in the throne!"
As the beauty spoke, there seemed to be a surge of murderous aura lingering on her bright and pretty face.
This bastard dared to do such a thing, she would make him pay!
Jia Heng raised his eyebrows and whispered, "Jie'er's appointment as the crown prince has been recognized by the entire court, so this is unlikely."
Zhen Qing's expression paused slightly, and she snorted coldly from her straight and beautiful nose. A cold light flashed in her eyes, and she said, "I don't think you dare."
As she spoke, Zhen Qing came closer, put her arms around Jia Heng's neck, and moved closer. With the rich fragrance coming, Jia Heng felt that softness.
When Jia Heng heard this, his eyes flickered, and an inexplicable sense of strangeness surged in his mind.
Since Zhen Qing became the empress dowager, she has become more and more rebellious against Tian Gang.
In other words, the beautiful woman was called the Empress of the Central Palace, and her aura was very different from before.
After a while, Zhen Qing's face was flushed with rosy red. She looked at the young man in the python robe and said, "I have been like a widow for the past few years."
As he spoke, he took Jia Heng's hand and entered a warm room covered with light yellow curtains. The furnishings were antique, and the sandalwood and saltpeter in the animal-head incense burner were burning, emitting a rich and subtle aroma that made people feel relaxed and happy.
Zhen Qing's plump, bright cheeks were clearly blushing as she sat astride the young man in the python robe, her long black hair fluttering in the wind.
Beads of sweat can be seen on the straight, white nose, and the snow-white face looks even more rosy.
The silver hairpin pinned in Zhen Qing's lush hair and the tassels of the necklace hanging down swayed gently.
Zhen Qing, on her side, was looking down from above, her beautiful eyebrows raised, her charming eyes sparkling and slightly moist, with a sharp, cold aura surrounding her. She said, "I'm telling you, the throne belongs to Jie'er, and no one can take it away!"
Jia Heng felt helpless but just didn't respond. He looked up at the light yellow curtain hanging above and thought to himself that the fact of sleeping on the dragon bed overnight could not be hidden from Zhen Qing for too long.
Throughout history, such scandalous and chaotic events have occurred one after another, and it seems that this is not the only one.
I don't know how long it took, but Zhen Qing's beautiful eyebrows were curved like black ink, her breathing was soft, and her face, which was as white as snow, was flushed.
At this moment, on the red walls, black tiles, and magnificent palaces, the sunlight shines on the glazed tiles, sparkling and dazzling.
On the brocade glass screen, the beautiful woman who has turned from guest to host is like a small boat, gently rowing the oars. Ripples can be seen spreading on the lake surface, and then there seems to be a sudden storm, hitting the lotus flowers, and the fragrance of lotus fills the air.
After an unknown amount of time, the sweat on Jia Heng's forehead was almost as dense as soybeans. He looked up at Zhen Qing, whose face was as rosy as the clouds, and said, "During this period of time, don't let anyone go to Kunning Palace to cause trouble."
Zhen Qing snorted softly, her eyebrows and eyes waving charmingly, and asked: "I don't know why you care about that old woman. Can that old woman be as good as me?"
When Jia Heng heard this, he felt a little strange.
What is an old woman?
Well, if you look at it from Zhen Qing's perspective, Tianniu is in her early thirties and is indeed an older woman.
Zhen Qing's plump and lovely face flushed red, and then, while speaking, she leaned her fiery face against the boy's fiery chest, listening to the boy's strong heartbeat.
"After Jieer ascends the throne, I will let him confer you the title of prince and assist in governing the country." Zhen Qing's cold and bright face flushed red as she spoke in a low voice.
The beauty did not simply use her secret sex skills to win over Jia Heng, she also did not forget to give Jia Heng various benefits, or in other words, she used this method to exchange for Jia Heng's decision to make Chen Luo, the son of Queen Song, the emperor.
Jia Heng put his slender hand around Zhen Qing's shoulder, and his palm was full of plumpness. His bright eyes seemed to show a thoughtful look.
If he is granted the title of prince and is appointed as regent, the cabinet will be even more frightened and think that his next step will be to abdicate.
However, for his contribution in supporting two generations of emperors, it is not excessive to reward him with the title of prince.
However, this matter requires appropriate concessions to the cabinet, otherwise it is very likely that the civil service group will rise up and attack, and the wave of opposition will continue.
As for completely disregarding the opinions of cabinet ministers and blindly forcing the issue, it is actually not wise, because the world has many affairs and still needs the help of civil officials to govern.
……
……
After a while, it was almost noon. The scorching sunlight shone through the red-painted window lattices and fell sparsely on a lacquered wooden table. The brush hanging on the pen holder cast a shadow on the rice paper.
Jia Heng nodded and said gently, "It's getting late, we should go back early."
Zhen Qing's face, as white as snow, was blushing like a rosy cloud. Her lush green hair was sticking to her temples with sweat, and beads of sweat were rolling down her slender neck.
Jia Heng found a robe made of black and red satin and embroidered with gold and red silk threads, put it on, and looked at Zhen Qing, who was as soft as a silkworm, with a strange expression on his face, his mind inexplicably mixed with thoughts.
Zhen Qing's delicate, straight nose seemed to hum softly, and she whispered, "Go ahead. Jie'er and Qianqian have been talking about you these days. You should come over to see them more often."
Jia Heng raised his sword-like eyebrows, his clear eyes flashed, he responded softly, without saying anything else, and then quickly left the palace.
……
……
In the outer study room of Ningguo Mansion in Shenjing City——
Chen Xiao's eyes were like green rainbow swords under his curved eyebrows. He sat behind a lacquered wooden table, playing Go with Gu Ruoqing across from him, across from him by a lacquered wooden bed.
A small green clay stove nearby was emitting steam, and wisps of fragrance wafted out from the spout of the pot.
Gu Ruoqing nodded, her beautiful head like a waterfall, her snow-white skin and jade-like face seemed to be covered with a layer of mist and frost, and she said softly: "The situation should be settled now."
Chen Xiao's beautiful eyebrows were furrowed, her clear eyes were filled with indifference, and she said softly, "It's almost settled."
Gu Ruoqing put down a polished black chess piece, her bright eyes sparkling, and asked softly, "What is his idea? Is he going to follow the example of Yi and Huo, or is he going to emulate the Cao and Sima families?"
Chen Xiao shook her beautiful head, a thoughtful look in her eyes, and said, "It's hard to say now."
In the current Han Dynasty court, it seems that Jia Heng has gained the upper hand and is in absolute control of the political situation, but the cabinet ministers and the civil service group will never sit idly by and watch Jia Heng usurp the Han Dynasty and establish himself as the emperor.
In other words, during the hundred years of peace in the Han Dynasty, under the rule of Emperors Taizu, Taizong, Renzong and Xianzong, people were close to the Han Dynasty and the whole country longed for peace.
If Jia Heng had not gone through a series of political events and even the propaganda of his myth, it would have been impossible for him to become popular among the people.
Of course, Jia Heng was previously known for quelling civil unrest in the Central Plains, promoting sweet potato planting, and leading troops to suppress Liaodong.
Just as the two were talking, a maid's sweet and tender voice came from outside, saying, "Greetings, Your Majesty."
As he was talking, the young man in the python costume walked into the hall quickly. Chen Xiao looked at the young man in the python costume with a calm face and sharp eyes, and asked in surprise: "You are back?"
Jia Heng said: "I'm back."
"What does it mean when the palace calls you over?" Chen Xiao asked with a surprised look on his face.
Jia Heng sat down and said, "I just asked about the Crown Prince of the East Palace. The palace is busy with many things right now, so I didn't say anything else."
At this moment, Gu Ruoqing came forward, picked up a blue and white porcelain teapot on the coffee table, took a few teacups, and poured a cup of tea.
Chen Xiao nodded and whispered, "Now that the palace guards have been replaced by your people, you don't need anyone to help keep watch."
Jia Heng said: "We still have to keep an eye out."
Chen Xiaoxiu curved his eyebrows, snorted coldly, and glanced at the young man in the python costume with displeasure.
Chen Xiao suddenly looked at the young man in the python robe and said, "This afternoon, several cabinet ministers in the palace sent a young clerk to say that the cabinet has something to discuss with you."
Jia Heng's eyes flickered under his sword-like brows, and he said softly, "It seems that the commotion in the past two days has frightened several ministers."
Chen Xiao said: "The troops of the Capital Camp, Jinyifu, and Wucheng Bingma Division are all in the capital. It's no wonder that the ministers in the cabinet are so terrified."
Jia Heng nodded, picked up the blue and white porcelain teacup beside him, took a sip of the fragrant tea, and whispered: "In this extraordinary time, this is the only way to deter the villains and protect the emperor. The cabinet should have nothing to say about this."
Chen Xiao nodded, his clear eyes flickered, and he whispered, "After this period of time, there will be a flood of impeachment memorials from the civil servants. How do you plan to deal with it?"
Jia Heng said: "If we just use the strategy of beating and killing to intimidate scholars, it will not only have little effect, but also easily make scholars all over the world hostile. We should cultivate our own scholars."
This is also what powerful officials have done throughout history. However, some powerful officials often cultivate a group of traitorous scholars, and some upright officials will instead go against the powerful officials and seek fame by being honest and upright.
The key is that he must cultivate his own community of interests and form a mighty and irresistible trend. At that time, there will be great scholars in Jiangnan who will interpret the scriptures for him and prove the legitimacy of his establishment as the successor to the Han Dynasty.
Chen Xiao nodded and said, "That's good."
After Jia Heng finished speaking about this, he didn't say anything else. He sipped the steaming tea from the blue and white porcelain teacup and began to think about his worries.
At the same time, in Shenjing City, in a mansion in the southwest corner of Ningkangfang, was the residence of Lu Li, the president of the Hanlin Academy.
At this moment, it was early summer, and the weather in June was already quite hot and noisy, but the Lu family had already started using ice cubes. As the ice cubes melted completely, the temperature in the room also dropped a lot.
The Lu family is also a family that has passed down farming and studying in the south of the Yangtze River. They have thousands of acres of fertile land under their rule and their clan is prosperous.
Lu Li sat down at a lacquered wooden table, while several colleagues around him sat on pearwood chairs beside a coffee table, on which hot tea could be seen curling up with an aromatic aroma.
"Mr. Lu, the rebellious Prince Wei has already shown signs of his rebellion. The three government offices of Beijing Camp, Five Cities Military Command and Embroidered Uniform Guard are all under his command. His inflated ambition is obvious." Among them, an elderly censor with slightly white hair and beard, with his brows wrinkled into the shape of the Chinese character "川", spoke in a low voice.
Lu Li raised his sword-like eyebrows, and a bit of coldness surged in his eyes. He shouted in a deep voice: "The ministers in the cabinet did not know the benefits and disadvantages before, and they relied on wolves, tigers and leopards to refuse to eat meat when they saw it. It is undoubtedly a foolish dream!"
One of the young, fair-faced censors pondered for a while and said, "Mr. Lu, the Prince of Wei now holds all the power. Can the cabinet elders restrain his evil ambitions?"
"The country has nurtured scholars for a hundred years. If there really are villains who bring disaster to the country and disturb the people, everyone should kill them!" There was a hint of murderous intent between Lu Li's eyebrows, and a sharp light flashed in his eyes. He said in a cold voice.
Several young colleagues around nodded and said gently, "What Mr. Lu said is very true. If the traitors really do evil, we will be taught by the emperor and we will never let them do evil."
Lu Li's face was as gloomy as iron, his eyes were cold, and he said in a deep voice: "In the past few days, you and I have submitted memorials to put pressure on the cabinet. We must not allow the foreign relatives to monopolize power and disrupt the government!"
When everyone present heard this, they all agreed.
