dream of red mansion

Chapter 812 Confession
"Bing father, the governor of Sichuan has written a letter to the chieftains in the territory to cause chaos, and the local suppression is difficult, requesting the imperial court to send a large army to put down the chaos..."

"Shanxi's political history impeaches the predecessor's political history, and the amount is huge..."

In the Ganlu Hall of Daming Palace, Emperor Zhengqing was lying on the couch, listening to Min Ning below report the recent state affairs one by one.

"What did the master say?"

"Taifu Li advocated that General Mu Tiannan go, but not send troops, and let General Mu go to rectify Sichuan's military equipment.

However, Wang Taiwei disagreed, insisting that the court send [-] troops, and the thunder suppressed..."

"Then what do you think?" Emperor Zhengqing asked.

"My son, my son thinks what Wang Taiwei said is right..." Min Ning said tentatively.

Hearing this, the disappointment in Emperor Zhengqing's eyes flashed away.

But soon he was relieved, anyway, the heavy burden of Da Chu would not be handed over to him...

Min Ning saw that Emperor Zhengqing's face was not right, and he was a little worried, but fortunately, he heard Emperor Zhengqing say: "What Wang Ziteng said is in the military, and he is establishing military prestige. What the Tai Tuo said is the words of the old man seeking the country. , It also has the meaning of suppressing the military forces.

The chieftain is in trouble, but the southwestern border has accumulated evils all year round, and they recur every week.Even if the imperial court strongly suppressed it for a while, it will only be stable for three to five years.

However, Sichuan has no less than [-] troops stationed there, and the suppression is ineffective. It can be seen that the army is empty. If it is not rectified, it will be a waste of national power.

Therefore, you need to make a compromise and make Mu Tiannan the Jiedu envoy, leading two thousand troops into Sichuan.The governor of Sichuan was transferred, and the governor was temporarily in charge of the post of governor, and cooperated with Mu Tiannan to rectify the army and suppress the chieftain.

Do you understand? "

"I understand..." Min Ning said dully.

Emperor Zhengqing didn't say anything more, and said again: "As for Baolinghou Shi Nai, he is useless. You just need to remember this, and leave the rest to the cabinet..."

"Yes."

"How is Duke Ning?"

Emperor Zhengqing asked suddenly.

Min Ning said: "He comes every time for the political discussions once every three days, but he is not very active, he just waits on the sidelines. If the Taifu doesn't ask, he usually doesn't take the initiative to ask.

I heard that the Taifu highly praised the "strategy of enriching the people" that Qiu Wei made many years ago. He originally wanted him to take the lead and lead the Ministry of Households to implement it, but he refused.The reason was that it was his immature thoughts when he was young, and it was not worth fighting, which made Taifu Li very angry...

As for the rest of the time, they seemed to be staying in the mansion and not doing anything else. "

Min Ning told the truth.

Emperor Zhengqing nodded when he heard this, and after listening to him say a few things, Emperor Zhengqing also gave him a brief reminder and let him go down.

As soon as Minning left, Dai Quan hurried over with a cup of hot tea. Emperor Zhengqing took a sip and scolded: "This monkey head is probably afraid that I will tear down the bridge when I cross the river, so I deliberately acted so cautiously, and even imitated Xiao He. Pollution!

Hmph, you're really smart.Don't even look at what kind of shit he did?Can it also be compared with Xiao He? "

Dai Quan smiled slightly.Xiao He in the Han Dynasty deliberately exploited people's wealth, destroyed his own foundation and polluted himself!What about Jia Qing?

Sister-in-law...

nephew...

I heard that there is also news that a grandnephew has become a son.

The Ningguo Mansion did not hide it, allowing such news to spread through the streets...

Although the pattern is quite different, it has to be said that there are similarities but the same effect.What Xiao He destroyed was his foundation among the people, what Jia Qing did wrong was his reputation in Shilin...

As for Emperor Zhengqing's dissatisfaction, Dai Quan just listened to it.If he is really heartless, without a trace of reverence and evasion towards the imperial power, such a subject will not end well in all dynasties.

If Jia Qing didn't know how to advance or retreat, he would have to make up his mind to draw a clear line with him.

"Your Majesty is a benevolent, sage and enlightened monarch, and treat Ning Guogong with sincerity...

But it is Ning Guogong who has such awareness and knows how to advance and retreat, that he deserves His Majesty's trust.

These days, Ning Guogong has already evacuated the soldiers and horses of the Beijing camp from the imperial palace and the imperial city one after another. Only when all the soldiers and horses of the king outside the city are also dispersed, the capital city can be completely unsealed.Speaking of it, Ning Guogong is also quite safe in handling affairs.Hundreds of thousands of troops gathered outside the city, and there was no disturbance at all. It took only [-] days, and they were almost dispersed. "

Dai Quan laughed.

During the war, Emperor Zhengqing handed over all the power of the capital to Jia Qing, the palace, the imperial city, and the capital were all under Jia Qing's control.Now that the Forbidden Army has been reorganized, Beizhen Fusi has also been rebuilt step by step. Jia Qing has already handed over the defense of the Imperial City and the Imperial Palace.

There was also a look of relief on Emperor Zhengqing's face.No matter how you say it, Jia Qing, an outlier in the court, was single-handedly promoted by him. The better Jia Qing is, the more extraordinary his vision is.

Although the emperor's mind requires both using and guarding against too outstanding courtiers, it is for ordinary courtiers who are difficult to distinguish between loyal and traitorous!Jia Qing, he really trusted him.

Among other things, if Jia Qing really has a different heart, the first 20 days or so will be a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity...

The capital is under his control, and most of the large number of Qin Wang's teachers outside the city are also recruited by him!

But what did Jia Qing do, on the one hand, hand over the control of the imperial city as soon as possible, and on the other hand, take strict precautions against guarding the capital, in case there is any change in Qin Wang's division...

Even Emperor Zhengqing knew that all those who had been rewarded for leading soldiers and diligent kings this time wanted to visit Ningguo Mansion, but Jia Qing all closed their doors to thank guests!
What's this?This is knowing how to advance and retreat, knowing to be in awe!

Even though Emperor Zhengqing had long ago decided to use Jia Qing to assist his unborn emperor's son, he was satisfied with Jia Qing's actions, even moved.

Self-love needs to be maintained by both parties, especially the friendship between monarch and minister.

Jia Qing's deeds are always sincere and loyal.

It is his luck to have such a courtier.

If it weren't for the fact that there are no holidays, he really wants to, really wants to create a great event in the big Chu himself...

pity.

A eunuch from the Yellow Gate came in and reported: "Mr. Ning Guo, Jia Qing, please see me."

"Let him in."

The eunuch of Huangmen went, and Emperor Zhengqing asked Dai Quan to help him up.Then he smiled at Dai Quan: "Do you think he can't sit still when he comes here, or is there something else?"

"The servant does not know..."

Dai Quan's heart skipped a beat.He knew that Emperor Zhengqing had drafted several imperial edicts against Jia Qing... Looking at Emperor Zhengqing's reaction now, he might reward Jia Qing heavily...

Dai Quan didn't know the specific content of those imperial edicts, but if it made Emperor Zhengqing think twice, he didn't need to guess to know that it must be solemn!

Dai Quan, an old eunuch, started to feel jealous...

……

"Your Majesty, Jia Qing, kowtow to see His Majesty's Dragon Body Jin'an."

Emperor Zhengqing looked at Jia Qing, who was kneeling in the middle, and smiled slightly.This kid, now that he is married, looks a bit more mature.

"Get up."

"Thank you, Your Majesty... but I'd better kneel today..."

Emperor Zhengqing frowned, seeing Jia Qing's sinful appearance, he said, "Tell me, what kind of sneaky things did you do again?"

Dai Quan next to him almost laughed out loud.

How long ago can words like "sneaking chickens and dogs" come out of Emperor Zhengqing's mouth naturally?
Jia Qing pouted, not minding Emperor Zhengqing's sarcasm, but looked up at Emperor Zhengqing's huge bedroom.Just when Emperor Zhengqing's eyes were about to show displeasure, Jia Qing said: "My humble minister is so bold, please hold back your Majesty...Of course, Director Dai can stay."

Dai Quan was shocked, if it wasn't for Jia Qing who was kneeling below, he would have shouted "Bold"!No courtier had ever dared to make such a request to Emperor Zhengqing.

Emperor Zhengqing didn't mind, he waved his hand to signal the maids and eunuchs who were waiting close by to go down, and then said: "So you can say it."

Although Emperor Zhengqing was weak, and now he was just sitting on the edge of the dragon bed, his bearing did not decrease at all.

Jia Qing hurriedly kowtowed again and said, "Your Majesty, I have come here specially to plead guilty today. I have committed a crime, and it is a serious crime. Please forgive me..."

Jia Qing acted solemnly, not to mention Emperor Zhengqing, even Dai Quan standing next to him was different.

Jia Qing's appearance doesn't look like he's joking...

What heinous crime had he committed?

Emperor Zhengqing rolled his eyes, as if thinking of something, his gaze became more dangerous, and he said, "Oh, tell me, what crime did you commit?"

Jia Qing bowed his head and said: "I dare not lie to your Majesty. When Prince Pankang conspired to besiege the capital, he sent Jin Qiang from the Prince's Mansion of Xining County to persuade this minister, intending to make him betray..."

Emperor Zhengqing's complexion changed.

If that was the case, Prince Kang would not necessarily be defeated...

But such a thing is also reasonable, it is impossible for Prince Kang not to try to subdue Jia Qing.

"This is Prince Kang's method of treason. You can stick to your loyalty. I should reward you. This is not a crime."

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your understanding, but the serious crime I mentioned does not refer to this matter...

At that time, Jin Qiang saw Wei Chen's refusal, so he said that Prince Yizhong had an orphan girl, and she happened to be in Wei Chen's house, and became Wei Chen's nephew and daughter-in-law..."

Dai Quan's complexion changed drastically. More than 20 years ago, the government and the public knew how deep the grievances between Prince Yizhong and Emperor Zhengqing were.Later, following the mutiny of Prince Yizhong to his death, no one dared to mention the word Prince Yizhong in front of Emperor Zhengqing for so many years.

Emperor Zhengqing looked at Jia Qing deeply, but unfortunately Jia Qing didn't look up, and didn't know, but continued: "Jin Qiang threatened, if your majesty, you know that the majestic princess is condescended to be a daughter-in-law in Ningguo Mansion, you will definitely He will confiscate the Weichen family's home and blame him, thinking that His Majesty's niece will vent his anger..."

Emperor Zhengqing frowned, he knew Jia Qing's words were not true.Out for niece?In their eyes, I'm afraid I can't wait for Prince Yizhong to cut off his sons and grandchildren!

"Naturally, I don't take such words to heart. First, I know that your Majesty is a benevolent king. Second, the background of my nephew's daughter-in-law is well known. She is the adopted daughter of Qin Bangye, the former secretary of the Ministry of Industry. , was later married to our daughter-in-law by Ming Media. What Prince Kang said was just to deceive me.

Therefore, Weichen didn't take this matter to heart, nor did he bring it up. "

Emperor Zhengqing sneered, "In that case, where did your crime come from?"

Jia Qing raised his head and took a look, and said honestly: "However, I have a mind in my mind, after the Ni Wang was killed, the military affairs were slightly relaxed, and I sent people to investigate secretly, to reassure myself.

Unexpectedly, it was discovered that the life experience of Weichen's nephew and daughter-in-law was indeed suspicious.
Although Weichen was unable to find out, he was really surprised.In addition, this is a big matter, so I have to go to the palace to report the matter to His Majesty.

If it's not true, let it go.If it is true what Prince Kang and others said, there is such a coincidence in the world, and I dare not plead guilty, I only ask Your Majesty to treat this minister lightly for the sake of my confession."

"Hmph!" Emperor Zhengqing snorted coldly, and said in a cold voice, "You really just noticed something strange recently?"

Jia Qing lowered his eyebrows and thought about it carefully.After Jiao Da's death, only he and Chen Shou knew about Qin Keqing in the entire Jia family, and it was impossible for Chen Shou to disclose this matter, so
"Return to Your Majesty, I still don't believe this is true, because it is too ridiculous."

Jia Qing said so.

Emperor Zhengqing said: "How do you know that if this matter is true, I will deal with you? Could it be that in your eyes, I am also the one who can't even tolerate my own niece and daughter?"

"I'm guilty!" Jia Qing quickly knelt down.

"I don't care what you think, if you took the initiative to go to the hall to explain this matter to me today, it can be seen that you are in awe and honest to me.

I also tell you the truth, your nephew and daughter-in-law are indeed the daughter of Prince Yizhong back then, and they are also his only blood in the world!
If I can't tolerate it, it is impossible for your Ningguo Mansion to exist to this day!

I say that, do you understand? "

Jia Qing's heart trembled, and he looked up at Emperor Zhengqing with piercing eyes, and saw a bright and aboveboard look in his eyes.

It turned out that Emperor Zhengqing knew about this a long time ago.

"Your majesty has a great mind, which is far beyond the reach of the world. I thank your majesty on behalf of my nephew and daughter-in-law, and I also thank your majesty for your innocence on behalf of the ancestors! Long live your majesty, long live, long live!"

Jia Qing said sincerely.
