Chapter 171

In a flash of thought, Jia Heng felt a sense of awe in his heart.

He even mistakenly thought that King Qi was a common man.

"It's been so smooth recently, it almost gave me the characteristics of being self-reliant, resourceful, and underestimating others, but there is no such thing as an exhaustive plan. There are many people who are clever but are mistaken by cleverness. Those who are good swimmers drown in water. How many heroes are there? , You can’t even see through pretending to be crazy, this king of Qi needs to be extra cautious, this is an opponent no less than Yang Guochang.” Jia Heng raised his vigilance.

The second king under the emperor's knees who has opened a mansion to supervise affairs, this king of Qi is not an oil-saving lamp, and the second son, king of Chu, is not an easy-going generation.

In fact, Jia Heng guessed right. When he slapped Jia Zhen in the face for the first time, the king of Chu had already sent someone to pay attention to him. It was only later that he saw the secret agents sent by Dai Quan to secretly protect him, so he quietly The staring person was removed.

Emperor Chongping, born as a concubine, seized the throne and became a great treasure. Both of his two concubines regarded Emperor Chongping as a role model.

A corporal who is a virtuous and virtuous man, who is brave and brave, and a fake idiot who is not insane, and has power in his shadow.

One person learned half of the methods used by Emperor Chongping to seize the throne.

On the other hand, the two sons of Empress Song, one learned to be gloomy, and the other learned to be arrogant and domineering.

Emperor Chongping said in a cold voice: "I don't care what your inner feelings are, the Sanhe gang immediately cut off my ties! As a prince of the country, how can he be with gangsters? Dai Quan, pass on my will, the king of Qi misbehaved, I don't know how to check, and I was demoted to the county king, so as to see the effect, I ordered the king to study behind closed doors, and he was not allowed to leave the palace without purpose!"

In this day and age, a father condescends his son's title with confidence, and he really doesn't need to explain it to others.

Upon hearing that he was demoted to the county king, King Qi's face changed dramatically, his heart sank, and he wailed loudly: "Father, my son is wronged. This son just wants to share his worries with my father. I'm a mother, and I don't have the bravery of my father and my second younger brother, I just want to do something to share my father's worries..."

"Dai Quan, take this bastard out, give him twenty sticks, if you dare to shout again, ten more sticks!"

King Qi suddenly seemed to be strangled by someone, dragged out by two inner guards, and then went to beat the board.

Jia Heng's face was indifferent. Hearing the cries from King Qi in the distance, he didn't dare to take it lightly.

With a thick face and a dark heart, he looks ordinary on the outside, but he is actually an old hooligan on the inside.

However, Emperor Chongping's demotion was also the limit of his disposal.

Again, there is really no equality in the law in this era.

If it is someone else, a noble like Jia Zhen will be confiscated and sent to prison just by colluding with bandits and attempting to commit evil.

But if it falls on King Qi, at most he will be reprimanded.

If others bought the Sanhe gang for their own use, even Yang Guochang would be imprisoned to die, but if it fell on King Qi, it was just that the prince was demoted to the county king, but it was extremely painful for King Qi.

"Of course, this is already a thorn in the heart of the Son of Heaven. If it happens again so many times, it may be that he will not let the evil go, and become a commoner!"

To put it bluntly, this kind of honorable man has thick skin and blood, so he can't be killed at once.

Even he is the same, if he really wants to do some immoral things that disregard human life, he will not die for a while if he is impeached.

Of course, he wouldn't commit suicide either.

This is such a way of the world, governed by people, because people make things happen, punishments cannot be punished by doctors, eight opinions (family, old, virtuous, capable, merit, noble, diligent, guest) enter the law, and people rule the society.

Emperor Chongping rubbed his forehead, sighed heavily, and suddenly said: "Ziyu, every family has scriptures that are difficult to recite."

Jia Heng paused for a moment, felt that this was not easy to answer, thought for a while, then sighed and said: "Chen's family, why not?"

At this time, we must talk about some bad things in the family, and use it to compare the misery, otherwise, the emperor's emotions at the moment, in retrospect, he would not dare to express emotions with his ministers at that time, and he would be suspected of violating his duty as a monarch and minister.

"Oh?" Emperor Chongping frowned and asked, "You said it was Jia Zhen. Jia Zhen is not a good person, and now she is arrested by Jingzhao."

Regarding the situation of Jia's family, Emperor Chongping reported it through the internal guards, but recently after Jia Heng moved to the East Mansion, the Jia family's servants were strictly screened and isolated, and Dai Quan released the water.

In fact, Emperor Chongping did not receive too many reports from Jia Heng.

Jia Heng said: "Your Majesty, in the family of the century-old princes of the Jia family, the children are obsessed with pleasure and corrupt, and there are also some elders in the Rong Mansion who are eccentric. Last time I went to Cuihua Mountain to suppress bandits, curses and poisonous words were everywhere in the mansion. It is said that once the minister is gone, he will not return it."

At the end, Jia Heng also gave a wry smile.

"Jia Amnesty?" Emperor Chongping asked.

Jia Heng cupped his hands and said, "The holy majesty's candle shines thousands of miles away, and he has insight into every detail."

Emperor Chongping waved his hand, and said in a deep voice: "This is the person who proposed to expel your clan last time. If you want to come to the mansion to be a demon, except for this person, you will not think of anyone else."

Jia Heng said: "The old lady of Rongguo is very kind to me. If it's not about big right and wrong, something that violates the laws of the country, and some gossip, I don't care about it."

Emperor Chongping nodded his head, and said approvingly: "The magnanimity is the appearance of a famous minister and the demeanor of a general."

"My lord praises it." Jia Heng cupped his hands and said.

Emperor Chongping looked silent for a moment, and said: "As for King Qi, come here first. You can discuss this matter with Xu Lu and clean up the Sanhe Gang. Without King Qi's restraint, I think that with the strength of the three of you, we will soon be here." It can return Dongcheng to a bright future."

Jia Heng cupped his hands and said, "Yes, Your Majesty."

Emperor Chongping's words at this moment almost clearly stated that the matter of King Qi has been dealt with, and everyone in the world should know that there should be no more disturbances. After being beaten, King Qi dared not open his eyes for the Sanhe Gang anymore, so the rest depends on the three Think about the strategy of maintaining peace and appeasement, and put an end to the banditry in the east city.

Emperor Chongping pondered and said: "I passed on my oral order to give Jia Heng the Shangfang sword to arrest the bandits in the city of Shenjing, as if I were here in person."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Jia Heng clapped his hands and said emotionally.

Not long after, an eunuch held a tray with a sword embroidered with a golden dragon scabbard,

"Don't be in a hurry for the transfer of troops, I will give you an order." Emperor Chongping picked up the sword and handed it to Jia Heng.

Jia Heng took it with both hands, gave a deep salute, and said, "I will live up to the emperor's order."

"Okay, let's go down to do some errands." Emperor Chongping waved his hand and said kindly.

Jia Heng saluted again, and said, "I will take my leave."

After Jia Heng left, Emperor Chongping's face became gloomy again, and he looked in the direction of Chonghua Palace.

King Qi is so unscrupulous, if there is no guardian from Chonghua Palace, how dare he do this!

Kunning Palace

After listening to the maid's report, a look of surprise appeared on the dignified and beautiful face of Empress Song in the warm pavilion, and she was speechless for a long time.

The boss has been demoted to the county king?

Across a chessboard, the noble concubine Duanrong with a slightly petite face said softly: "Sister, King Qi has been loved by the Supreme Emperor of Chonghua Palace since he was a child, His Majesty, now that he has lowered his title, he will not... cause any more troubles." ?”

This Concubine Duanrong is the younger sister of Empress Song.

Thinking of the palace city, and because of King Qi's demotion, the city was full of ups and downs, the imperial concubine Duanrong just frowned, and there was a hint of worry on her crystal clear jade face.

This beautiful woman in palace clothes, who was born to the same mother as Empress Song, had high temples and a beautiful complexion. She had a standard oval face with exquisite makeup. Rose-colored eye shadow was painted on her long and narrow phoenix eyes. On the earlobe are crescent-shaped emerald earrings.

The figure is tall and slender, a bit taller than the Queen Song. She has a slim figure, and because she is accompanied by music and dancing, her waist and buttocks are slim and soft.

Empress Song pinched a chess piece with her slender fingers, and said: "With your majesty's mind, I think you have obtained some solid evidence. This morning, Jia Heng urgently asked to see him. This person must be the one who made the most of it."

"Jia Heng? This person is..." Concubine Duan Rong's bright eyes showed doubts, she looked a little confused, she was totally different from a 32-year-old beauty who gave birth to a daughter and a son.

"My sister doesn't know something in the deep palace. Jia Heng is a young honorable man who has recently been valued by His Majesty..."

Empress Song put down the chess pieces and spoke slowly.

When Concubine Duan Rong heard the words, Yu Rong showed a hint of surprise, and said: "The Jia family has not heard any movement in the court hall for some years, but I did not expect such an outstanding young man to catch His Majesty's eyes."

Concubine Duan Rong sighed casually, and said, "It's just, isn't it from the Jia family?"

"Branches." Queen Song said in a clear voice.

Upon hearing the words, Noble Concubine Duanrong licked her pink lips, blinked her long and bright clear eyes, and said, "No wonder it caught His Majesty's eyes."

"My good sister, you are confused when you dance, and you can talk nonsense like that."

Because there are no outsiders in the palace, Empress Song said helplessly when facing her sister, who did not have so much status as a monarch and minister.

If His Majesty is not a side supporter, how can they be as expensive as their sisters today?

"The concubine made a slip of the tongue." Upon hearing the words, Concubine Duanrong also felt that she should not speak nonsense, she lowered her eyelashes, covered her bright eyes, and said softly.

Not to mention the casual chat between the two sisters in the deep palace, but it is said that Jia Heng, wearing Shangfang's sword, left the Daming Palace, took the reins of the horse from the forbidden army under the gate of the palace city, and was about to get on the horse, leave the palace city, and head to the five cities Bingmasi was taken aback for a moment, then narrowed his eyes.

At the gate of the palace city, King Qi, who was supported by two powerful men in black robes and bunts in gray shirts, saw his chubby face, and his small eyes under his thick eyebrows were shining brightly. staring at himself.

Around, the servants of Prince Qi's Mansion prepared soft sedan chairs and waited for them in the distance.

"Jia Ziyu, I have been waiting for you for a long time." King Qi sneered, looked at Jia Heng, and said sinisterly.

Jia Heng's expression was indifferent, he cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty has seen His Royal Highness King Qi."

King Qi: "..."

The fat face trembled, and the anger hit his forehead.

King Qi?Which pot is not opened and which pot is lifted?

King Qi sneered and said: "Jia Heng, you lucky man, you slander your father, and you will be demoted by the king, and the lucky man will not last long. This king will see how long you can be arrogant! What are some things? Don't say it's you, even if the Jia family is here, I don't think much of it!"

Jia Heng's complexion was light, and he had already seen the treacherous intentions of King Qi's stupid appearance. This kind of harsh words seemed to be a bit of "screaming" after a gangster suffered a loss, but in fact it implied "showing weakness".

"But this kind of showing weakness is only for the emperor and me. I think he is stupid, so I dismiss him. If he is tricked, the king of Qi still has something to say to the emperor. No matter how stupid the son is, he won't let it go." After the ruthless words, you will secretly harm... The falsehood and the truth, this fake and insane persona of King Qi is the best cover, but..."

The King of Qi was shouting like an old hooligan, but he saw the man on the opposite side suddenly take off the sword from his waist, put it in front of his eyes, walked quickly a few steps, and said in a low voice, "His Royal Highness, this is the Sword of Heaven. With the Sword of Heaven, it is like the presence of the Holy One." , You said that if I behead you, will I pay for your life? A third-class general is exchanged for a prince, and one life is worth one life! Who is the jade and who is the crock?"

King Qi was stared at by the hostile gaze on the opposite side, his expression changed, the shouting in his mouth stopped abruptly, and he looked at the murderous young man opposite him with suspicious eyes.

"You, what are you going to do?"

"His Royal Highness Qi, Jia is holding the Tianzi sword in his hand, as if the Holy Spirit is here! The Holy Lord ordered His Highness to return to the mansion to study hard, who told you to stay in this palace city! You bastards, you still don't help His Highness go back! It's not good to bully me with the sword of the Son of Heaven!" Jia Heng shouted heavily, and with a flick of the long sword, he slashed at the ear of one of the servants who was supporting King Qi.

It was this person who was sneering just now!

With a sweep of Jian Guang, only a scream was heard, blood splattered all over the place, a few drops of blood splashed on King Qi's face, that chubby face was full of astonishment, he opened his mouth and found that he didn't say a word , only felt that his hands and feet were cold, and his fat body couldn't help shaking.

How dare he!

This is the gate of Miyagi! !

It depends on the owner to beat a dog!

Arrogant and domineering!

This girl is Dong Zhuo and Cao Cao!

No, damn it, the Three Kingdoms seems to be written by this guy...

King Qi was horrified, but his eyes were fixed, but when he saw the Tianzi Sword in Jia Heng's hand, his heart trembled, this fellow is really daring!

The emperor's sword is here, as if I am here in person!

Suddenly meeting those ferocious gazes, King Qi's small eyes narrowed tightly, his face turned ashen.

Jia Heng let out a sigh, and said: "Come here, why are you still standing there, why don't you send His Highness to the sedan chair!"

Since you are an old hooligan pretending to be crazy and acting stupid, then I will deal with you the same way as an old hooligan!

Back then when the prince of Qin State broke the law, Shang Yang cut off the nose of the prince's teacher, but today he is a military honor of the country, and he is blocked by the prince and scolded by the prince. Because of the difference between the monarch and his ministers, he can't cut off a hair of the king of Qi, but cut off an ear of a slave in his house. For punishment and deterrence, even if the emperor knew about it, he would only respond silently.

Jia Ziyu is strong and decisive, not to be humiliated lightly!

As for offending King Qi?

Cutting off one's fortune, and punishing him by condescending to a noble, this offends to death, what else do you want?

Do you still have to kneel down and beg for forgiveness?

The only way to show strength with the Son of Heaven Sword is that if you dare to jump, the next sword strike will cut off your head!

The servant on the side covered his ears and hummed in pain, but seeing King Qi's face was as gloomy as iron, he snorted coldly, "You dog slave, shut up!"

There was a slight undetectable tremor in the voice.

He was not mistaken just now, this dog servant of the emperor really wanted to kill him!

With a sullen and chubby face, King Qi entered the sedan chair with the support of several servants.

Dog slave, wait for the orphan!

King Qi boarded the sedan chair disheveledly. In fact, the yelling and cursing in his heart at this moment really meant showing weakness.

As for King Qi's servant's ears, they had already been picked up by the guards at the side, with a bitter expression on his face, he said: "Master Jia, the higher-ups asked me, how do I report back?"

Jia Heng's face was silent, and he said in a deep voice: "I hold the Tianzi sword in my hand, as if I am here in person, if you meet a little boy on the road, hold the sword to punish, you have the talent to do it!"

Daming Palace

Emperor Chongping, who was reviewing the memorial after the imperial case, raised a pair of cold eyes, listened quietly to what Dai Quan said, his complexion revealed a strange look, and murmured: "This Jia Ziyu... really has the appearance of a famous official of the former Han Dynasty. !"

In the former Han Dynasty, the famous ministers were so submissive, they were all upright and unyielding.

Holding the envoy of the Son of Heaven represents the authority of the emperor.

Of course, in the eyes of Emperor Chongping, Jia Heng's actions were still very measured.

First, it does not hurt a single hair of the king of Qi; second, it uses the emperor's sword and oral instructions to respond to the emperor's order with his mouth open and shut.

Dai Quan said hesitantly: "Your Majesty, if the imperial censor..."

Emperor Chongping said in a cold voice: "holding Shangfang's sword, as if I were here in person, if you don't have such a decisive bearing, how can you have the right to wear my sword? Let alone a slave's ears, it is a head, who dares to put a beak on it! However, you Now go and tell the witnesses to the imperial guards, and don’t make any publicity about it! In addition, I will pass on the word of mouth, Jia Heng has made great achievements in investigating the case, and I will give you thirty pieces of silk as encouragement.”

When Dai Quan heard this, his heart was shaken violently, and he kept silent. This was protection, and giving him silk was comfort.

"Could it be that Jia Heng is His Majesty's illegitimate child..." Dai Quan thought disrespectfully, but in a moment, he felt that this idea was absurd.

He followed His Majesty from the hidden mansion until he entered the Daming Palace, if His Majesty had any affair, would he not know about it?

It can only be said that this kid Jia Heng is being highly valued by His Majesty, and his holy family is prosperous, and there is no disadvantage in everything.

When Dai Quan left, Emperor Chongping's stern face moved slightly, but he couldn't help but smiled lightly, but after the smile, there was an unspeakable helplessness deep in his eyes.

Give birth to a child like Jia Ziyu...
