Chapter 468 Don't worry, play with him
Kunning Palace, the hall is brightly lit, as bright as day.
The light of the candlelight lit by the crane-shaped palace lantern reflects the gilt-bronze crane wings brilliantly, and a few figures are faintly reflected on the light-like floor.
At this time, Dai Quan in the Daming Palace had prepared a map of the provinces of the Han Dynasty with the eunuch, and hung it on the screen for Emperor Chongping and Jia Heng to watch.
It marks the situation on the nine frontiers, and the provinces' military quotas.
"Ziyu, come and have a look." Emperor Chongping called out.
Jia Heng respectfully responded, and approached so close, he took a glance from the corner of his eye, but saw that Empress Song and Princess Xianning hadn't left. Well, I almost forgot, this is Kunning Palace.
At this moment, the mother and daughter are sitting behind the table drinking tea and talking, sometimes looking at the monarch and his ministers.
Dai Quan held the candlestick and took a close look at it.
Emperor Chongping pointed to the map and said in a deep voice: "Ziyu, the land of finance and taxation in the world lies in the three provinces in the southeast. Jinling, Zhejiang and Fujian provinces support the provinces. Sichuan has been better in recent years. Gao Zhongping has the talent for managing affairs, although In the past few years, there have been many natural disasters, and the times have been abundant and the times have been apologetic, but they can still maintain it. The treasury can still support itself. The provinces of Huguang are still relatively peaceful, while Shandong, Henan, Hebei and other provinces have not paid taxes to the central government for three years. Among them, in the land of the three auxiliary areas of the capital, at the foot of the Son of Heaven, last year there were thieves and bandits gathering in the mountains and forests to plunder the prefectures and counties, should they be gone now?"
Others say that he favors and trusts the young man who has not reached the weak crown this year, which is different from others.
But, I don't know what it can do.
For example, when it comes to the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty, although there were political abuses before the youth, they did not have such talents as Wang Zuo.
Only this young man was recommended by Jinyang, to play against him, to help him sort out the situation of the country, to manage the affairs of the people, to prioritize, and to supervise the military and the government, all in an orderly manner. There is the "Pinglu Policy".
In fact, if we sort out Jia Heng’s step-by-step road to growing lotus, it all originated from the recommendation of the Princess Jinyang, and then helped Emperor Chongping to formulate the ZTE strategy step by step.
In later generations, this would be a person at the level of a national teacher.
Now that Emperor Chongping is in the court, implementing national policies, he no longer feels exhausted by the use of power and tactics in the past.
Even the kings of Nan'an County, Beijing County, Xining County, Dongping County and others expressed their surrender after the Supreme Emperor completely retreated to the Chonghua Palace.
But Heng's progress by luck was not enough to endanger the imperial power. Firstly, his foundation was shallow, and secondly, his political enemies ranged from civil servants to nobles to vassal kings. Such a person could only be a solid defender of imperial power.
This is the reason why Emperor Chongping wanted to marry his daughter to win him over. After all, in the original book of the Red Chamber, for Prince Teng who is in charge of the army, he conferred the imperial concubine Yuanchun.
"The land of the three assistants has been much more peaceful recently." Jia Heng said, his eyes fell on the map, and said: "The Holy Majesty has worked hard, and this map can give you a glimpse of one or two. Although the current situation is still in danger of being overwhelmed, the Holy Majesty There is no more trouble with elbows and armpits, and the administration of officials can be rectified with peace of mind. I think that this year we can open the Enke, reserve the British for the country, and at the same time, take advantage of the situation to tie the hearts of scholars from the north and the south."
He didn't know why the Son of Heaven was so emotional today, to show his map in the Kunning Palace and talk about the situation in the world. Generally speaking, this is a confidant.
"I also had this intention. To refresh the government of officials and weed out the old ones, we should choose elites to meet the vacancies of ministers and bureaucrats." Emperor Chongping agreed, and then said: "Today's court meeting, send Qi Kun to go south to check salt, son Yu, what do you think?"
Jia Hengdao: "In the south of the Yangtze River, the gentry gather together, and the disturbance in personnel affairs can be described as intertwined. I have never worked with the elder Qi Ge, so I don't know the temperament and means. But now the water in Yangzhou is getting more and more muddy. The two imperial envoys who went south were not arrested, and old Qi Ge went south, these people will not sit still and wait for death."
This is the reason why he has doubts. The Qi Party went south to compete with the Zhejiang Party for the dominance of the salt affairs.
The imperial court has already sent two groups of imperial envoys. The first wave is Liang Yuan, the Minister of the Household Department, and Yu Shi Yude, the Youqian capital of the Metropolitan Procuratorate. The two went south to investigate the case of Lin Ruhai's murder. It turned out that they were private salt lords. Retaliation, and then caused a new round of crackdown on salt lords by Yangzhou government, which actually served the purpose of salt merchants.
Emperor Chongping's eyes fell on the land of Yangzhou, and he seemed to have remembered what he had said during the court discussion. progress……"
Immediately, looking at the young man beside him with burning eyes, he asked, "Zi Yu, if I send you south to search for salt, where would you start?"
Jia Heng's heart was shaken, he thought for a while, and said: "The Transshipment Department of the Huaihe River Capital and other salt officials, officials of the Jiangnan Fan and Standard Departments, Yangzhou salt merchants, Yangzhou prefectural and county officials... the ministers will start from here."
Still the same sentence, you can't solve the problem, you can solve the person who caused the problem, and whoever has the problem can solve it.
Emperor Chongping looked at Jia Heng, and was satisfied with the courage of "cutting through thorns and thorns". He nodded and said slowly: "Salt merchants have been custom-made for underwriting since Emperor Taizong, and it has been established for decades. In the past During the last emperor's southern tour, he did not disturb the people of the prefectures and counties along the way, and he also relied on salt merchants' donations, and by the way, there was also the Zhen family who was the president of the imperial envoy Tiren Yuan, who picked him up several times."
At the end, although the emperor's voice was calm, for some reason, it fell into Jia Heng's ears, and it seemed a little cold.
Picked up several times, but left a lot of shortfalls in the three major weaving mansions!
When Jia Heng heard this, he was silent for a while.
He actually guessed that the water in Yanwu was deeper than he imagined, and he also considered whether the emperor of Chonghua Palace would be involved, but he only saw the salt merchant and King Qi flirting with each other before, but he didn't find any connection with Chonghua Palace. It's not good to make random associations.
Now, the emperor reminded us that the emperor's money bag can be basically confirmed. In addition to the imperial envoy Zhen Yingjia, the president of Jinling Tirenyuan, Yangzhou salt merchants also made a contribution to the Chonghua Palace. Life.
Of course, Emperor Chongping also acquiesced, or it was a redemption itself.
Various speculations filled Jia Heng's mind, thinking, "The three weaving palaces of Jinling Tirenyuan, and the case of Zhizao Miaoyu's father in Suzhou, there may also be the father-son battle between Daming Palace and Chonghua Palace."
This means that there is me in you, and you are in me. When it comes to military power, Emperor Chongping has regained the initiative because of him.
However, Emperor Chongping was obviously concerned that the Emperor was still around. Generally speaking, at this time, he needed to ask his confidants. The support of the military chiefs was enough to strengthen his will.
It would undoubtedly be very suitable if he could personally go to supervise the handling of the case.
Emperor Chongping looked back and forth between Jinling and Yangzhou, and said in a low voice: "If you want to make a big move, there will be many people involved in the upper and lower levels. I am doing the matter of increasing revenue and reducing expenditure. What is the plan for the word "open source?" ?”
"If the Holy Majesty has an order, I will repay the king's kindness with all my heart and soul." Jia Heng's heart is clear at this moment, and he knows the emperor's mind.
In other words, this was originally Emperor Chongping's plan, and there was no need for him to make all kinds of scheming preparations. As for sending Qi Kun to go first, it was probably to test the direction of the wind and let all parties really move... Don't worry, just play with him.
Emperor Chongping paused for a moment, and said: "Don't act too hastily, let Jinyi Mansion keep an eye on Yangzhou Mansion first."
If the text is not successful, at that time, the military will be sent again. If you don't send the Jinyi governor, who else can you send?
Jia Heng cupped his hands and said, "I obey the order."
"Recently, begging for wages has become more and more urgent." Emperor Chongping brought up another topic and took the initiative to speak.
Jia Heng's expression changed, and he cupped his hands and said, "I discussed this matter with Mr. Shi earlier. The Ministry of Household Affairs said that the Nine Frontiers did not reduce the quota, but postponed it. I don't know if the Beijing camp will also be affected?"
"You don't have to worry about the salary of the Beijing camp. If the household department is insufficient, I can give you the money from the internal funds. You can just train your troops with peace of mind." Emperor Chongping seemed to see Jia Heng's implication, and said comfortingly.
The monarch and his ministers talked for a while, and Jia Heng said goodbye.
Emperor Chongping raised his eyes and glanced at the sky, and said in a warm voice: "It's time now, and the gate of the palace is also locked. You will stay in the West Pavilion of the Hall of Martial Arts today, and you will go back tomorrow. Dai Quan will send you off on my behalf. By the way, show Jia Ziyu the account books for the salt tax, tax and silver of the six regions of the household department, and the military accounting accounts for the other nine regions."
Since he is the Minister of Military Aircraft, he should also look at the annual accounting of the military expenditures of the Nine Frontiers.
Knowing that Emperor Chongping had a plan, Jia Heng agreed and left with Dai Quan.
As soon as Jia Heng left, accompanied by a burst of fragrance, Empress Song approached Emperor Chongping, holding Emperor Chongping's arm, with worry on her beautiful face, she said softly: "Your Majesty, Jia Ziyu ...may take on this role?"
As Emperor Chongping's pillow, this empress knew the real embarrassment of the emperor. After all, she was still the emperor in Chonghua Palace.
Emperor Chongping shook his head and said, "Wait for now, there is no rush for this matter, now is my time."
There are some things that cannot be stated directly and need to be understood by the courtiers themselves. If they are explained clearly, it will only sow the seeds of disaster.
Emperor Chongping thought about it, and suddenly saw Princess Xianning at the side, his heart moved slightly, and he said in a deep voice: "Xianning, you also go and have a look, and see if there is anything missing in the West Pavilion of the Hall of Martial Arts."
Princess Xianning was stunned for a moment, overjoyed, and left as ordered.
But Jia Heng came out of Kunning Palace and just followed Dai Quan towards the Hall of Martial Heroes. After a short while, there was a sound as cold as water from behind, as if melting snow from an iceberg flowing over rocks, crisp and sweet, clean and clear .
"Mr. Jia."
Jia Heng heard the words, turned his eyes to look, and saw the lights in the hall, reflecting a slim girl in a green dress, and asked in surprise: "His Highness Xianning, this is?"
Princess Xianning didn't know why, subconsciously, she didn't say that Emperor Chongping sent her off, but said in a clear voice: "I just happened to go back to the bedroom, and I will take a walk with my husband."
"My servant has seen Your Highness." Dai Quan smiled, and quickly bowed to Princess Xianning.
Secretly, one lives in the harem and the other lives in the front hall, he doesn't know how to get along?
However, this eunuch has always been trying to figure out the holy will, so he also guessed the thoughts of Emperor Chongping and the Empress, so he glanced at Jia Heng and said with a light smile, "Then His Highness will lead Lord Jia to the Hall of Martial Arts, and the slaves will go first." The Huagai Palace takes the money and food account books of the household department."
Princess Xianning turned her eyes to look at Dai Quan, and said: "Then Eunuch Dai will go."
After Dai Quan led the two inner eunuchs away, Princess Xianning looked at the boy in the python suit and said softly, "Sir, I will lead you there."
"Thank you, Your Highness." Jia Heng said softly, and then walked along with Princess Xianning, with the maid holding a lantern in front to light the way.
"Sir, are you tired at the military plane these days?" Princess Xianning asked softly.
Jia Heng said: "The reports from all provinces, big and small, are all gathered to the military aircraft department. I am a little dizzy with busyness. It can be seen how hard it is for the Holy One to deal with this mountain of government affairs every day."
Princess Xianning sighed, and said: "Father has been so diligent since he succeeded to the throne. He has been busy with state affairs these few years, and I have seen that the white hair on his head has gradually increased."
"Your Majesty is in power, diligent in governing and caring for the people, this is the blessing of the world." Jia Heng said loudly, then turned to Princess Xianning, and said, "Your Highness can also advise the Holy One to take better care of her."
Princess Xianning nodded, her bright eyes sparkled under her beautiful eyebrows, and she said with a light smile, "Speaking of which, Father has been in a much better mood since Mr.
Jia Heng said: "Your Highness's praise, in fact, it has nothing to do with me."
"Sir, you're still so modest." Princess Xianning smiled lightly, her eyebrows and eyes were curved, because she was a niece, she looked a bit like Empress Song, but this slender figure and beautiful face of Tianhuang nobleman smiled slightly. It's kind of cool.
Jia Heng took a look, then looked away.
"Sir, do you still remember the first time we met outside the city?" Princess Xianning seemed to see that fleeting dodge, and her heart was a little bit happy, she pursed her cherry lips, and asked suddenly.
Jia Heng looked straight ahead at the octagonal palace lantern, smiled lightly and said, "I don't want Your Highness to remember."
"At that time, I was hunting with Brother Sanhuang, and I saw that my husband was practicing archery at that time. Looking back on it now, it seems as if it was yesterday, and I remember it vividly." Princess Xianning said with some emotion.
Sometimes I have to sigh about the chance encounter in life, that young man whom she only glanced at back then, was just discussing military and state affairs with his father.
Jia Heng said: "Your Highness's heroic appearance is also vivid in my mind."
"Sir...you were joking." Princess Xianning's heart trembled slightly, she said softly, she took a peek at the face of the boy in the python suit, but seeing the light shining on her, she couldn't see the expression clearly.
Xianning Princess Yingxiu lowered her eyebrows and lowered her eyes slightly, and asked: "In the middle of this month, the emperor's mansion will be completed, and it will be when the grass grows and the willows will bloom, and the third brother suggested that we go together. Walking outside the city and breaking willows, I wonder if sir is free?"
If brother Wei Huang invites him, he probably won't allow it. For Wei Huang brother's sake, let her invite her.
Jia Heng paused slightly, and said: "Your Highness just saw you too. Recently, he is busy with military affairs and the political affairs of the Military Aircraft Department. I'm afraid he won't be able to spare time."
The twelfth day of this month is Daiyu's birth. In the middle of the month, Xu and Keqing will go back to her mother's house to meet Yuezhang.
The light in Princess Xianning's clear eyes dimmed, because she was politely rejected, her cold smile was a little unnatural, and she said: "It's okay, we can talk about it when the master is free."
Jia Heng thought for a while, and said: "Your Highness, why not take another look, until that day, maybe you will be free, but I don't know."
Princess Xianning nodded her head, her mood brightened immediately, and she gave a soft "hmm".
In fact, the fifteenth day of the next month is her birth, and Brother Sanhuang is going to celebrate her birthday with her.
While the two were talking, Jia Heng saw the Hall of Martial Arts in front of him and said, "Your Highness, please stay."
"It's okay, I'll accompany you there." Princess Xianning said softly.
Hall of Martial Arts, West Pavilion
This place is the Minister on Duty of the Military Aircraft Department. Whenever there is a war, it is very convenient to go out, turn around the side hall, go directly to the Military Aircraft Department, and read the official documents.
Jia Heng saw a few eunuchs laying out bedding and sheets in front of the bed against the wall, and it was clear that they had been ordered by Dai Quan from the Daming Palace.
"Sir, this is a temporary dormitory, after all, it's a little rough, I'm wronged, sir." Princess Xianning said with a frown as she looked around the room.
Fortunately, each of the five military planes has a dormitory, and the inner prisoner often comes in to clean it.
Jia Heng said: "I'm used to it in the past."
"Sir, it's cold at night, and there's no earth dragon here, just a pair of quilts, which may not keep warm." Princess Xianning looked at the busy inner prison inside, and saw the bed covered by the curtain, with a thin mattress on the bottom, and the outside. A pair of thin quilts, said softly, and then ordered the female officer at the side: "Go and move the pair of quilts from the neutral wardrobe in this palace, and bring the incense cage for calming the nerves and calming the incense."
Jia Heng was already sitting at the desk at this time, picking up a stack of official documents and reading them by the light, upon hearing this, he quickly got up and said: "Your Highness, there is no need to do this, it is only a temporary place to stay."
Princess Xianning's cold and jade-like face showed firmness, and said: "Mr. is the Minister of Military Aircraft, and he is on duty at the Military Aircraft Office, so don't be negligent."
As he said that, he glanced at the female officer who was stunned in place, and the female officer went away immediately.
Jia Heng looked gratefully at Princess Xianning, cupped his hands and said, "Then thank you, Your Highness."
"You are welcome, sir." Princess Xianning said softly, and ordered the maids to prepare refreshments, then looked at the eunuch, frowned, and said: "Put this quilt under the bed, alas, you are clumsy, Ben Gong is here, go clean the house, and fetch a basin of hot water."
As Princess Xianning said, she stepped forward, picked up the quilt and spread it, and asked the two maids to help with her, her tall and bright figure was projected on the window.
Seeing this, Jia Heng's complexion changed slightly, and he hurriedly said: "Your Highness is really frustrating to me."
Princess Xianning actually made the bed and folded the quilt for him. If Emperor Chongping wants to hear about it, why not say that he is domineering?
"It's okay." Princess Xianning's face was also a little flushed at the moment, but she couldn't see clearly against the light.
