Chapter 467 I don't eat much, but I'm so diligent

Chapter 467 I don't eat much, but I am so diligent...

Ningguo Mansion

Jia Heng sat down in the outer hall, holding the fragrant tea from the teacup, and swallowed the sweetness in his mouth. At the same time, he calmed down the anger that was being provoked in his heart, and said to Qingwen who was coming, "Prepare hot water, let me take a bath." .”

Qingwen came closer, her nose moved slightly, she curled her lips, and said softly: "I have already ordered you, son, come with me."

Jia Heng didn't say much, and followed Qingwen into the inner room where she usually takes a bath.

"My lord, why did you come back so late with Miss Bao today?" Qingwen said softly while helping Jia Heng to undress.

"Walking around." Jia Heng didn't deny it either, or in other words, Qingwen already knew the clues of the two's intimate relationship, so there was no need to hide it.

Qingwen pouted her little cherry mouth, and with a smile on her pretty melon seed face, she said softly: "My lord, Miss Bao is not like us girls."

Jia Heng opened his eyes, looked at Qingwen, and saw that her lips were so pouted that they could hang a soy sauce bottle, she moved closer, and in the sound of "咕向", she held those two pink lips, and said immediately: "I have my own. care about."

Qingwen's face was flushed, her palm-sized melon seed face was full of charm, and she said, "I'll serve you, my lord."

This is also the tacit understanding between the master and the servant. When someone comes back, there is always lust.

Jia Heng let out a "hmm", and sat on the kang table beside her, gently brushing up Qingwen's hair by her ears, Guazi's charming little face reflected the candlelight and was a little quiet.

Compared with Jin Yang who played tricks from time to time, grinding her teeth and sucking blood, Qingwen was undoubtedly much calmer and more leisurely.

After a while, Jia Heng looked at Qingwen whose throat was rolling, and sighed softly, just picked up the teapot, poured a cup of tea, and handed it to Qingwen.

Qingwen swallowed the tea with a "gudong", and then waited for Jia Heng to enter the bathtub.

"I don't know if what the young master said before counts or not?" Qingwen said suddenly.

"What?" Jia Heng asked in surprise.

"It was said years ago, just... just..." Qingwen said at the end, her head drooping slightly, her cheeks were beaming.

Jia Heng glanced at Qingwen, and said softly, "Do you want to be an aunt?"

"My lord..." Qingwen's heart skipped a beat when she was told, and with the sound of splashing water, she turned around, both expectant and dismayed.

Jia Heng hugged Qingwen, and felt that the girl was petite and lovely in her arms, and she was a little plump, and said softly: "It's too early, your body hasn't grown up yet, if you have a child, it will be a hell of a time to have a child , you are so thin, if you have... I still want you to serve me for the rest of my life."

When Qingwen heard this, her heart was a little sweet, and she said softly: "The young master originally agreed, and besides, I don't want to be an aunt right now."

After that, the voice became smaller and smaller. Originally, she really thought that it was just... No, but today when I met Third Sister You, instead of talking in a few words, she got a few words of teasing, and gave her a picture book...

Jia Heng thought for a while and said, "Well, another day."

You can't just care about yourself and ignore Qingwen.

"Ah."

"Okay, let's take a bath." Jia Heng said softly, then closed her eyes slightly, let her thoughts go, and let Qingwen serve her.

Served by Qingwen in the wing room, she took a bath and changed her clothes, and also took advantage of the opportunity to wash off the sweet smell in her mouth and the smell of Shanghai in her hands, before heading to the backyard.

In the backyard, the lights had already been turned on, reflecting the brightly dressed Yingying and Yanyan, which was charming. Qin Keqing, accompanied by Second Sister You and Third Sister You, was talking to Sister Feng and Ping'er. You Xichun sat beside her.

Maybe spending money makes people feel better. Today, Sister Feng seems to be in a better mood. Although she is not happy, she is not as sad as yesterday. She and Ping'er come here to sit for a while, and help Qin Keqing by the way. Take care of all the affairs of Xiuyuanzi.

Sister Feng said softly: "But Qing, what Brother Heng said earlier, the matter of going south to Gusu to buy a small opera actor has to be handled by an appropriate person."

"We'll wait for my husband to come back to worry about this matter." Qin Keqing said with a smile.

While the few people were talking, suddenly a woman came from outside and said, "Grandma, the uncle is back."

Qin Keqing smiled softly, and said: "I was thinking that I should be back at this time, Baozhu went to the back kitchen to see if dinner is ready."

Baozhu replied, got up and went to the back kitchen.

As soon as the words were finished, Jia Heng entered the hall and raised his eyes to see Sister Feng, not surprisingly, he took the initiative to say: "Sister-in-law Feng, I will enter the palace tomorrow and ask the Minister of Daming Palace, when will their father and son leave."

Sister Feng's beautiful eyes flashed, and she said: "In the past two days, I have already bought some things. I wonder if Mrs. Dai will let me take them with me?"

After all, it is a husband and wife, and when they are exiled, they always have to give one away.

Jia Heng pondered: "Too many things are definitely not enough. Bring some clothes and prepare some money. The money should not be too much, so as not to cause trouble."

It's not about being an official. Where the sky is high and the emperor is far away, there may be bandits who rob the way. They bring too much money, but they are asking for trouble.

Sister Feng's complexion changed slightly, and she also thought of this episode, feeling suspicious.

Jia Heng reassured: "Sister-in-law Feng doesn't need to worry too much, the imperial court has a errand to escort her, and she stays at post stations all the way, nothing will happen."

Sister Feng nodded, but her heart was still clouded with gloom.

In fact, she knows better than anyone else that she is afraid that it will be difficult for the husband and wife to see each other again.

Heart sighed faintly.

Seeing that the atmosphere was a bit dull, Qin Keqing said softly: "Husband, Jiao Da just sent my mother-in-law a set of mahjong, and my second and third sisters and I thought about it for a while, but we don't know how to play it."

Jia Heng nodded and said: "Well, I will teach you how to play later."

After a while, all kinds of dishes came out, and everyone gathered around the table to eat dinner, but Sister Feng was somewhat absent-minded while holding the chopsticks.

Then, after the cups, bowls, chopsticks and dishes were removed, Jia Heng briefly taught Qin Keqing, Second Sister You, and Third Sister You how to play mahjong. Jia Heng plays with a group of wives and concubines, enjoying the solitude amidst the bustle.

"Ping'er, you can help me read the cards by the uncle's side, and you can also accompany me to relieve boredom later." Seeing that several people have started to play formally, Sister Feng urged.

"Well, grandma." Ping'er responded, picked up the embroidered pier, and sat down beside Jia Heng.

At this time, Xichun was also sitting on the embroidered pier on Jia Heng's left. The tsundere girl held her face in both hands and watched Jia Heng play the cards.

Seeing this scene, Sister Feng couldn't help but joked: "You guys on the left and on the right look like a big boy and a little boy who recruit money."

Ping'er blushed slightly, and said angrily, "Grandma is making fun of me again."

But my heart was relieved, since I can still joke, it means that it is not as scary as yesterday.

Jia Heng also took a look at Sister Feng, the original mournful "survivor" charm between Liu Shao's brows disappeared a little, and she seemed to have found that fairy concubine with brilliant embroidery again.

Qingwen was serving tea in the distance, lifted the tea cup, listened to Sister Feng's words, but curled her lips.

Because Qin Keqing, Second Sister You, and Third Sister You originally had the foundation of "dominoes" and got started very quickly, especially Third Sister You, who understood the rules after listening to it once.

"Clattering", several people began to build the Great Wall.

Jia Heng turned to look at Xi Chun, and said softly: "Fourth sister will help me play dice."

"Me?" Xichun stretched out her little finger and pointed at herself, seemingly unbelievable, her face, which was as cold as frost, had long since thawed, her cheeks flushed, her head shaking like a rattle: "Brother Heng, I...I won't. "

"It's okay, the main thing is that you play with your sister-in-law when I'm not at home." Jia Heng smiled and said, a strange flash of thought flashed in his heart, what kind of tiger and wolf words are these?

Xichun gave a soft "hmm", picked up the dice with two slender hands, but couldn't move it.

As a pair of slender hands hit two dice, they collided with mahjong in the Great Wall, making a crisp sound.

"Master Heng, one is six and one is five, I'll play first."

Third Sister You said with a chuckle, stretched out her jade hand with a gold bracelet on her white wrist, holding two stacks of mahjong, and then counted a few pairs. Then insert the gap, three times, five times and two divisions to form the cards.

The girl in the pink jacket and wearing a cloud bun moved skillfully and crisply, and then stroked her cheek with one hand, and looked at Jia Heng with a charming smile. Maybe she felt tired, and it might save some effort by lying on the Eight Immortals table, but I don't know. .

A young girl who is in high spirits in the field she is good at, her eyes are shining, and her eyes are becoming more and more charming, bright and moving.

Under the soft eyebrows of Second Sister You, her beautiful eyes looked forward to the waves, and from time to time she peeked at the young man who was sitting upright, her eyes under the stern eyebrows were focused, as if she was looking at the cards, but she didn't dare to look too much, and quickly lowered her flustered eyes.

In fact, it was not only Second Sister You who was peeking, but even Qin Keqing was also peeking at her husband, pursing her cherry lips, with a bit of joy in her heart.

My husband never played around with her, and I don't know what happened today.

Jia Heng, who had done something wrong, simply set up the cards, took the teacup handed over by Qing Wen, took a sip, and accompanied Qin Keqing and Second Sister You, calmly playing mahjong.

Relying on her ability to count cards and remember cards, she fired two cannons for Qin Keqing, and two for the others, and then Third Sister You got one for herself.

"I was unlucky today, but I lost a lot." Jia Heng looked at the broken silver beside his hand and said softly.

"Uncle Heng has no choice but to play these games, and he taught others by himself." Third Sister You said with a light smile, her eyes softly and charmingly looked at the young man with a warm complexion and a calm expression on the opposite side.

How could she not know that this person was making them happy just now, such a big figure in the outside world, yet so... considerate.

"Uncle Heng pretended in his heart that it was an official matter, and he didn't think about it at all." Hearing this, Second Sister You cast a white look at Third Sister You, and said softly.

I know that sister, you are good at these fun skills, but you can't be so strong, and make fun of your own man, how will you get through the door in the future?

Qin Keqing looked at Jia Heng who was drinking tea with concern, and said softly: "Husband, it's getting late, why don't you go back and rest first?"

"Well, play it, I have to get up early tomorrow, so don't be too late." Jia Heng smiled and said softly.

I also know that a few people are on the rise, entertainment activities are scarce in this era, and a new way of gaming will definitely attract people's attention, and of course it is also entertainment for the inside.

It's just that he didn't like this at all in his previous life. Is it because the game is not fun, or is it that the young lady dances badly?

Ten gambles and nine cheats, no gamble wins, friends persuade you to gamble and not to persuade whoring.

He is sworn to death with gambling and drugs.

……

……

The next day, February [-], the dragon raised its head

Just after five o'clock in the day, Jia Heng went to the military aircraft office to be on duty, and sat there until noon, when he was about to call the clerk, prepare a pot of hot tea, and continue to read the military affairs report sent by Henan Dusi.

"This Niu Jizong actually went to the Runing Mansion in Henan to supervise and train against bandits." Jia Heng looked at the military affairs on it.

At the beginning, the Guoyong camp under his command was obtained from Niu Jizong. He didn't want this grandson of the Duke of Zhenguo to be the first-class uncle, and went to Runing in order to recover.

"I'm afraid we don't want to delay the military plane." Jia Heng frowned, thought for a while, and put the official document aside.

"Ziyu, the cabinet issued an edict today to send a scholar from Qi University to Yangzhou to deal with the salt affairs." At this moment, Shi Jie, who had just finished the court meeting, entered the duty room from the outside and announced this to Jia Heng. information.

Jia Heng smiled and said: "With the ability of Qi Dashi, going to Yangzhou, I think I can get twice the result with half the effort."

But Shi Jie shook his head and said: "I'm afraid it will be difficult. Today, the Secretary of the General Administration handed over a report. The governor of Liangjiang, Shen Bing, made a statement. He made a statement about two or three things about the reform of the salt law. It seems that he intends to lead the reform of the salt affairs. Not allowed."

The governor of Chen Hanzhi is the second-rank official, and the titles of Yudu Yushi and Minister of the Ministry of War are added, which means he is the first-rank official, and Shen Fang is now a member of the first-rank official.

Hearing this, Jia Heng put down the teacup, paused for a moment, pondered for a moment, and said: "In this way, I'm afraid there will be more twists and turns in the rectification of the salt affairs."

In the Qing Dynasty in the previous life, the governor of Liangjiang used to take charge of the salt affairs. Now the governor of Liangjiang, Shen Bing, went to Shutianzi, which is obviously a trick of the Zhejiang Party to fight for the right to reform the salt affairs.

Once the governor of Liangjiang is in the way, it will be a question mark whether Qi Kun, a cabinet scholar, can carry out drastic reforms in the local area, not to mention, the salt merchants will not sit still.

Thinking about it, it was another battle between dragons and tigers.

Shi Jie sighed, and turned to say: "I don't know that Mr. Li Ge has arrived in Beiping Mansion. In the past few days, the letter of pleading guilty to Tang Kuan from the capital of Beiping and the general soldier of Ji Town has been handed over to the Secretary of General Administration. Yang Ge said that Tang Kuan was not fighting. The Holy Majesty is also a little hesitant about the crime, Tang Kuan has been in charge of the soldiers of Ji Town for six or seven years, and he also made some military exploits before he went to Ji Town a few years ago."

Border gatekeepers have been operating in the local area for many years, and even the court ministers rely on them.

Jia Heng pondered, and said, "Let's see what's going on with this matter."

He always felt that this matter would not be so simple, and with Emperor Chongping's temperament, there would be no old friendship to talk about.

Jia Heng suppressed his speculations, and said: "Yesterday, Jinyi Mansion Feige sent a letter to report that Mr. Ge has arrived in Baoding, and in a few days, he will be in Peiping."

"So fast."

"The military situation is like fire." Jia Heng said emotionally, and then said: "In the past few days, Datong, Xuanfu, and prefectures and counties have organized regiment training matters, and asked the Ministry of War to transfer money. What is the Ministry of Households' proposal?"

Shi Jie said: "The household department allocated part of the payment, but there is a huge gap, and the military department is still fighting for it. It's just that Ge Lao is not in Beijing now, and the household department is prevaricating and perfunctory."

After all, he is a servant, facing the household department jointly controlled by two cabinet ministers, he is somewhat lacking in confidence.

"There was no surplus in the national treasury last year?" Jia Heng asked with a serious expression, frowning, "I remember confiscating Sanhe Gang and selling a lot of silver last year?"

Shi Jie said with a wry smile: "Ziyu doesn't know something. According to what the household department said, only a small part of the money entered the household department at the beginning. The pension was paid a year ago, and Shenjing and other provincial officials were paid back. The salaries owed by the soldiers are used for the expenses of the various government offices, and those who have already dispersed, Yang Ge will leave another sum of money until this summer's tax revenue, and if there is a natural disaster, he will have to pay out the money."

At the beginning, Jia Heng confiscated the property of the Sanhe Gang. Although there was a lot of property, many of them were filled into the House of Internal Affairs. As for the money that King Qi made up later, they were all filled into the internal coffers by Emperor Chongping.

The money comes in quickly, and it disperses quickly, because it was not enough to make ends meet before.

Jia Heng was silent for a moment, then asked, "What did the Ministry of Household say?"

"The household department said that the two princes are checking the frontiers, and it will not be too late to transfer the money after resetting the military quota on the nine frontiers." Shi Jie said in a low voice.

Jia Heng frowned and said: "You put it this way, the salary of the Beijing camp this year may also be delayed, that is, three days ago, the old and the weak in the Beijing camp have been eliminated, the total number of troops is 15, and they are still recruiting new recruits. "

This is the feeling that money and food are controlled by others. Of course, the three powers of wealth, military, and people are all in the hands, so it is the turn of Emperor Chongping to sit still.

"Actually, the salaries of the frontier army were halved last year, and the owed salaries of the Beijing camp were reissued." Shi Jie sighed and said with emotion: "Now the court wants to collect more money on the salt tax and eliminate the Frontier generals and frontier troops are just in line with the meaning of increasing income and reducing expenditure.”

For example, according to the records of the Household Department during the Longzhi period of the Han Dynasty: only one year in Xuanfu, the main soldiers, garrisoned more than 13 stones of grain, more than 78 taels of colored silver, and more than 13 colored silver for the democratic movement. Liang, Lianghuai, Changlu, and Hedong salts lead to more than 12 taels of silver, and Beijing Yun's yearly silver is 5000 taels; 17 taels.

Of course, Xuanfu and other places are the flanks of Beiping, and they have always been the key defense areas to face the Hulu.

Jia Heng nodded and said, "There is still a need to rectify the administration of officials."

These are the several major policies he proposed with Emperor Chongping at the beginning, first to maintain the overall situation through paperwork, and to continue the life of the dynasty, first to destroy the Donglu.

Shi Jie smiled to himself, and said: "The Metropolitan Procuratorate and the Ministry of Officials are busy with the Beijing investigation, and they are already too busy. The people in the Ministry of War are panicked, and the affairs of the Ministry have also been affected a lot."

"It won't be finished in three to five months, that is, at the beginning, the consultation and examination language is intricate, and it should be much lighter later, so as not to delay the government affairs." Jia Heng said in a low voice.

Jingcha has always taken a long time. Of course, the big man has reformed the method of Jingcha, which is much faster than before.

Shi Jie nodded, sat down, continued to narrate the affairs of the court, and said: "Xu Deqing has investigated the Metropolitan Procuratorate in the past few days. , The ranks of the lower and lower ranks, discussed with the elder Han Ge, all of them are in the ranks of demotion, and the left deputy capital Yushi Peng Ye today went up to ask the governor of Nanhe, and the sage agreed."

When it comes to the end, the tone is a bit playful.

The censor's responsibilities are one to inspect the case, the other is to report on the rumors and fill in the gaps, and the memorials are all filed. Combined with past wind reviews, a preliminary evaluation of the censor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate can be made.

There are more than 100 censors in the Metropolitan Procuratorate. This time, Xu Lu almost directly purged one-third of them, and they will be deposed immediately after the court trial. This time, the scope of influence is unprecedented.

Jia Heng shook his head lightly, and said: "Previously, Zhao Ge said that Gao Bin, the governor of Nanhe, asked for money to build the river weir, and Yang Ge said that he would patrol the river with the censor. It seems that it should be here?"

Shi Jie glanced at the young man opposite, and said with a smile: "Ziyu had disputes with him a few times before, if he doesn't make some real achievements now, I'm afraid it will be difficult for him to gain a foothold in the Metropolitan Procuratorate."

Peng Ye, the censor of the left deputy capital, was originally a member of the Qi Party. He helped Yang Guochang stand up and cheered, and impeached Jia Heng several times.

Jia Heng said sternly: "I am fighting with him out of public interest. Now he is patrolling the Nanhe River, hoping to detect its disadvantages, so as to prevent the summer and autumn floods from causing natural disasters to man-made disasters."

The two chatted for a while, and then Emperor Chongping brought the food box with the inner supervisor and gave food to the staff of the military aircraft department.

Jia Heng continued to read the military memorials sent by the governors and governors of various places in six hundred miles, and drew up opinions and engraved them.

In general, the 15 years of Chongping’s Great Han Dynasty—the northwest was calm, there were occasional wars in Yunnan, the chieftains in Guizhou were unstable, the border between Hubei and Henan was full of bandits, the bandits in Shandong were in cahoots, and there were pirates who robbed the sea from time to time in Fujian...Of course, These are all diseases of mange at present, and generally speaking, they cannot shake the foundation of Dahan's rule.

In terms of military affairs alone, there are only nine borders, or there is no northern border of the Han Dynasty after Liaodong, from Tianjin Wei, Jizhen, Xuanfu, Datong, Pingan Prefecture, Yansui, Ningxia, Guyuan... nearly a million soldiers, both A financial black hole is another defensive loophole.

Jia Heng put together the proposed opinions, and then the inner eunuch delivered them to Emperor Chongping for review, and it was like that until the evening, when he was about to get up and leave the duty room.

Emperor Chongping sent the Minister of Daming Palace to summon him, and said that a banquet was held in Kunning Palace, and Jia Heng was invited to the banquet.

After leaving the Hall of Martial Arts, candles were already lit under the eaves of the central corridor of the palace. You could see groups of maids and eunuchs carrying octagonal palace lanterns walking among them. From time to time, the sound of orderly footsteps of guards and the clash of armor could be heard in the distance. .

Jia Heng straightened his mind, turned his head and asked Dai Quan, "Eunuch, Jia Amnesty and his son, when will we leave?"

"The date has been set. The day after tomorrow, Jia Amnesty, Jia Lian and others will be exiled to Guizhou." Dai Quan said with a chuckle as he led the way.

Jia Heng said again: "Tomorrow, I want to take someone to see off. Eunuch thinks it's convenient."

"It's convenient, it's human nature to send off relatives and relatives, and there is no reason for the internal police to stop it." Dai Quan said with a chuckle, but he stopped walking, looking at the majestic and luxurious palace ahead, Said: "The Kunning Palace has arrived."

It was not the first time that Jia Heng entered this palace with Dai Quan, the minister of the Daming Palace. At that time, King Wei came here once when he was born.

"I pay homage to the Holy Majesty, long live long live, long live long live, and empress empress, thousand years old." Jia Heng entered the hall, placed himself on the clear water floor, walked a few steps, and got close to Emperor Chongping and the empress. They bowed solemnly towards the emperor and empress.

"Ziyu is here, sit flat and sit down." Emperor Chongping is sitting behind a few tables at the moment, and beside him sits the empress Song, who is very dignified, dressed in a red dress, and swaying with golden hairpins. After the young couple, there was Princess Chen Zhi of Xianning, who was wearing a green dress and a flying fairy bun.

Ever since Emperor Chongping thought of recruiting Jia Heng as his son-in-law, when he looked at the young man in front of him, his perception was slightly different from the past, especially when he saw the "plot plan" memorial handed by the inner prison before, he was even more delighted to see him .

On one side, the empress of the Song Dynasty has a bun like a cloud, a square peach like a plum, a face like a peony stamen, white and rosy, looking through the candlelight, her face is as charming as spring flowers and autumn moon, under the two curved willow-leaf eyebrows, the phoenix eyes are clear and sharp, The spirit is hidden, especially the eyelashes are naturally curved and long, making the eyebrows and eyes more majestic and quiet.

At this moment, looking at the boy in the python suit with a serious demeanor like Zhilan Yushu, he nodded secretly.

And the other Xianning princess, Chen Zhi, with a slim appearance and a cold expression, under the thin eyebrows, with clear eyes, looked at Jia Heng from a distance, and nodded as she met her eyes.

Empress Song smiled sweetly, without showing her teeth, her voice was sweet and soft, and she said, "Your Majesty knows that you haven't eaten at this time, so you are specially asked to come here."

Jia Heng paused, cupped his hands and said, "Thank you, my lord, for your kindness."

"Okay, there is no need to be too polite, just sit down." Emperor Chongping's cold face in the past was replaced by a rare warm expression, and said: "Let's have dinner together."

Jia Heng thanked him again, and then sat down behind the long wooden table. Because of the meal sharing system, he didn't get together. At this moment, the boy in the python robe looked solemn and sat upright. ,"respect".

Emperor Chongping sized up the young man, he caught a trace of expression hidden in his quiet eyes, nodded, and encouraged: "Today, Qing's proposal on military affairs disposal is clear and well-thought-out. One omission is quite in line with my wishes."

"It is the duty of ministers to share the worries of the emperor and father. The establishment of the Military Aircraft Office was originally the meaning of the Holy Majesty's painting of the military country and the staff. Heng hurriedly cupped his hands and replied.

Empress Song smiled, and pretended to complain: "You monarchs and ministers, you still mention these government affairs during the meal, how can you not discuss them in the daytime, and what are you doing with such a situation where the monarchs and ministers are right?"

Princess Xianning's eyes flickered when she heard the young man who spoke the cold and clanging voice, and then she turned a pretty face as clear as a snow lotus, and said softly: "Father has worked hard all day, and you should take a break when you eat. Rest is."

"For a while, I feel a little forgetful, okay, let's not talk about it." Emperor Chongping smiled, picked up the ivory chopsticks, and moved the dishes.

Xu Shi's various affairs have been steadily advancing recently, and the army, border affairs, salt affairs, and official administration have been advancing in an orderly manner, which also made the emperor feel much more comfortable.

Emperor Chongping talked about family affairs and said: "After the year, Ziyu's family is okay?"

Jia Heng said sternly: "Fortunately, although there have been some twists and turns, there are no serious problems in the end."

"About Jia's amnesty the day before yesterday, Mrs. Rong Guotai went to the palace to beg the Queen Mother. Didn't I make things difficult for you at home?" Emperor Chongping asked suddenly.

Emperor Chongping knew very well about Jia Heng's situation in Rongning Second Mansion, so he asked this question.

Jia Heng said: "To tell you the truth, the old lady called me over several times, wanting to ask for the grace of the sage, but I didn't agree, and I didn't care."

There is nothing to hide, whether it is the emperor's eyeliner or the emperor's mind, it is not difficult to guess these.

Emperor Chongping was silent for a moment, and asked: "I heard that I want Ziyu to run for his family's second wife's attack on the noble."

Jia Heng said: "There is such a thing, but the succession of titles is a matter of etiquette, and secondly, the state's public artifacts. The imperial court has its own rules, and the ministers dare not agree."

"Your Majesty, there are some old people who are biased." Empress Song answered with a smile, and gave Emperor Chongping a dish with chopsticks.

Emperor Chongping nodded, and said: "What Ziyu said is true. Back then, the Taizu decided to reduce the inheritance method, just to prevent Wu Xun's children from lying on the ancestor's credit book and not knowing how to make progress. Now the Rongning Second Mansion , before Qing, I haven't seen any motivated children, it's a pity."

"As the patriarch, I failed to restrain and discipline my children well, and I owed the grace of the saints. I hope the saints will atone for my sins." Jia Heng's complexion changed, he left the table to worship, and cupped his hands.

"It has nothing to do with you, how long have you taken over the clan? Besides, since you took over, you have made a lot of achievements in the education of the clan's children." Emperor Chongping realized something, and said, "Okay, let's not talk about this, let's eat. "

Empress Song said with a smile: "You monarchs and ministers might as well be more at ease."

Jia Heng thanked him again, and then at the invitation of Dai Quanxiang, he sat down again, holding a bowl in one hand and chopsticks in the other, pawing the rice, secretly thinking that the emperor really has other information channels.

"Don't just eat rice, but also eat more vegetables." Emperor Chongping smiled and persuaded, but this emperor Xu is not good at these daily speech skills of cuddling people, which is somewhat unnatural.

It was Empress Song who took the conversation, her red lips parted slightly, and she said with a sweet smile: "Ziyu doesn't have to be restrained, I specially asked Xianning to come over today, which means it's still a family banquet, but it's a pity that I'm not here, you usually work together more, this time it's time for you Have a lot to say?"

Princess Xianning's cheeks were slightly hot when she was listening. What do you mean you brought her here specially, or was it a family banquet?

Jia Heng took a sneak peek at Emperor Chongping, saw him pick up the dishes, his expression was normal, he breathed a sigh of relief, and said softly: "His Royal Highness King Wei is very diligent in his work in Wucheng Bingmasi, he left very early and returned very early. At night, when getting along with colleagues, he is also modest and prudent, neither arrogant nor impetuous."

Whether it's a 3-minute buzz or a show, it's always right to praise the child in front of the mother.

When Empress Song heard the words, her beautiful face was indeed happy, her brows were beaming with joy, her charming phoenix eyes were bent into crescent moons, and there seemed to be a light overflowing, she was so tall and shivered slightly, and said softly: "He can be so sensible, my palace Don't worry."

Jia Heng paused for a moment with the chopsticks in his hand, and in the blink of an eye, he looked away, lowered his eyes and used the food, suppressing the weirdness in his heart.

Emperor Chongping put down his chopsticks, turned to look at Empress Song, and asked, "The mansion of King Wei should be repaired, right?"

"According to my father's wishes, simplicity and solemnity are the most important thing. I didn't change the style too much, and I tried my best to be extravagant." Princess Xianning also looked away from her cold eyes, looked at her father, and said softly.

Emperor Chongping nodded, neither praising nor beating, he took the rice porridge from Queen Song and used it with a spoon.

The two monarchs and ministers had dinner, sometimes narrating the government affairs in the court, and sometimes chatting, a situation where the monarch and ministers were in harmony, under the lights, like a picture scroll slowly unfolding.

Empress Song and Princess Xianning listened with a smile. They had to say that a handsome young man with a calm face, his voice was like gold and stones, and his answers were fluent.

Jia Heng put down his chopsticks and looked up at Emperor Chongping.

The Son of Heaven does not eat much, even a little bit, but he is so diligent...
