Chapter 383 The Supreme Emperor: Fearful Younger Generation
Chonghua Palace
There is a cloud bed made of light yellow silk, and behind it is a golden lacquer relief of two dragons playing with pearls, surrounded by several court ladies holding ruyi and fragrant flowers in their hands.
Emperor Longzhi's hair was pale, his old figure was wearing a dragon robe, his cheeks were rosy, and he looked comfortable. At this moment, he was holding a wine bottle in his hand, watching the singing and dancing below, he did not look like an old man who was nearly seventy years old.
On the left and right embroidered piers are beautifully dressed beauties in their thirties and forties with exquisite makeup.
Following a high-pitched, sharp voice from the inner eunuch, "My lord, the empress is here!"
Emperor Longzhi raised his eyes to look in the direction of the gate of the palace, the smile on his face gradually faded, and he waved his hand. The singer who was playing and dancing in the palace bowed and retreated to the sides.
And the royal families including King Chu and King Qi who were sitting on both sides of the bottom, enjoying the singing and dancing, as well as the concubine, princess, and son-in-law, all stopped their chopsticks and cups, and looked up at the door of the palace. .
Emperor Chongping and Empress Song entered the hall hand in hand, and stood on the red carpet in the hall to meet the eyes of the clan, princess, and son-in-law.
Emperor Chongping gave a deep salute to Emperor Longzhi, and said: "I have seen my father, I wish my father a long live forever, and the pine cranes will always be spring."
Empress Song also bowed to the side and said: "The concubine has seen the father, and I only hope that the father will be healthy and live forever."
The Han family ruled the world with filial piety, no matter what Emperor Chongping thought of Emperor Longzhi, seeing Emperor Longzhi at this moment, he still needs to salute respectfully, otherwise it would be a lack of virtue in the eyes of foreign ministers.
Jia Heng was also saluting at the side. At this moment, he could clearly sense several eyes in the hall, falling on him.
However, Emperor Longzhi remained silent for a long time, as if he hadn't heard it, until the concubine beside him smiled and said, "My lord, the emperor and empress are greeting you."
"Oh, the emperor and empress are here." Emperor Longzhi's expression was dull, as if his reaction was delayed, and his ears were deaf, he waved his hands, and said in a Cang voice, "Be flat."
The cold eyes under Emperor Chongping's thin brows were condensed, and Empress Song got up to thank each other.
Jia Heng also got up and thanked him, but just watched this scene, and he also had some understanding in his heart.
He said how Queen Song's voice became so cautious just now.
There is clearly a rift between the most noble father and son in the world, but because the royal family is a model of virtue in the world, it is necessary to maintain the illusion of harmony in the heavenly family.
Perhaps because of his "Zen position", Emperor Longzhi didn't like Emperor Chongping very much, and Emperor Chongping also couldn't understand his father who was "old but not old" and lived a life of extravagance.
At this time, several eunuchs and court ladies led Emperor Chongping and Empress Song to sit on the Luan bed of the head of the clan, and the brisk chatter and laughter in the hall gradually died down.
It can be said that with the arrival of Emperor Chongping, the atmosphere in the entire hall suddenly became solemn and serious.
How should I put it, it's as if a chill king has come.
"No wonder the old man doesn't like the emperor. The emperor is dignified and serious, so he is not easy to get close to."
Jia Heng glanced at the gray-haired, nearly seventy-year-old Emperor Longzhi, who was hale and hearty and rosy-cheeked, and glanced at the three or four faces of the concubines beside him. A few women can be royal at night.
At this moment, Jia Heng also had time to look at the scene in the palace. There were jewels and emeralds everywhere, and rich and brocade robes. From the perspective of the composition of the personnel, this was a royal family banquet.
As far as the eyes can see, it is not the prince, the county king, but the concubine, princess, or princess, and those who are farther away should also be concubines.
He is honorable, like an outsider, but it is a bit dazzling.
Well, strictly speaking, they are not considered outsiders, are they?
At this time, Jia Heng's eyes leaped out with a familiar bright red. That beauty in pale red court gown and face like a hibiscus, isn't it the eldest princess of Jinyang, Chen Li, or who?
Princess Jinyang had already cast a pair of beautiful eyes that were as moist as water to Jia Heng, and suddenly met that cold gaze, with a smile on the corner of her mouth, her eyes were soft and charming.
The eyes of the two met, the beauty blinked her phoenix eyes suddenly, the autumn waves were like water, Jia Heng hurriedly avoided her eyes, and said inwardly, she is really a goblin.
Li Chanyue, the little princess next to Princess Jinyang, was also looking at Jia Heng at the moment, and said in a low voice: "Mother, why is Mr. Jia here?"
Princess Jinyang smiled sweetly and thought, why can't he come?
On this side, King Qi and King Chu brought their concubines over, and King Wei and King Liang also brought their eighth son, Chen Ze, to greet Emperor Chongping and Empress Song.
I just stopped after seeing the ceremony and was about to return to my seat.
King Qi's eyes widened, and "exaggerated" surprise was seen on his chubby face. He pointed at Jia Heng and asked in a low voice, "General Yunhui, why are you here?"
Jia Heng: "..."
As soon as this remark came out, all the clans in the palace who hadn't paid much attention to Jia Heng's existence, or the clans who were just slightly puzzled but not easy to ask, looked over.
The King of Chu also noticed Jia Heng just now, and now he raised his eyes to look at the young man, and there was a bit of coldness in the depths of his eyes.
And Emperor Longzhi, who didn't care who Emperor Chongping brought into the palace, heard the voice of King Qi, but also cast a curious look, and asked: "Which clan is this young man? Are you tight?"
Except for some princes and county kings, Emperor Longzhi really didn't recognize the entire clan, so he was not puzzled just now.
The main thing is that Jia Heng is wearing a python suit, which was originally given to the son of a prince or the son of a county king.
The son-in-law of Yongchang laughed and said: "The Holy Majesty has lived in the deep palace for a long time, so he doesn't know something. This young man is a descendant of Ning Kingdom who has recently gained fame, first-class general Yunhui, Jia Heng."
The son-in-law of Yongchang has gray hair and a handsome face. He is in his early fifties. He was also a handsome man when he was young. He was married to Princess Huaiqing, the younger sister of Emperor Longzhi.
Of course, his person and the four kings and eight fathers belong to the old relatives, which was mentioned in the original book "Dream of Red Mansions".
"After Ning Guogong?" A strange color appeared on Emperor Longzhi's indifferent face, and then he looked at the heroic young man in the distance, and asked: "It looks a bit like Ning Guogong."
Of course, these words are just polite words. When Ning Guogong was alive, Emperor Longzhi was still young. After so many years, how can he remember Ning Guogong's appearance?
It's nothing more than a deep Xiao father and ancestor, it's just a compliment.
The son-in-law of Yongchang smiled, and introduced: "This is Jia Heng. He is a general, and now leads the Beijing camp, and he is highly regarded by the emperor."
Emperor Longzhi was finally surprised this time, and asked, "Looking so young? How old is this child?"
My heart murmured, how could the emperor use Ningguo's descendants so much?
Yes, he was no longer available.
At this time, Emperor Chongping glanced coldly at the Duke of Qi, and scolded: "In front of your grandfather, you were startled and yelled, how decent!?"
King Qi's complexion changed suddenly, he lowered his head, pretending to be pleasing to the eye, ignoring the anxious look on the princess Xiang's face behind him, he pulled the python robe, and said loudly: "Father, my son is just surprised, isn't today a family banquet? Why are there still foreign ministers entering?"
The King of Chu was at the side, originally looking at the young man coldly, but the corners of his mouth twitched when he heard that, it was only him, the eldest brother, who dared to be so reckless.
But I am also happy to see this matter, it is best if the two of them wrestle together!
Well, it would be interesting if the imperial grandfather ordered someone to drive Jia Heng out of the Chonghua Palace.
Emperor Chongping snorted coldly and ignored King Qi.
Lao Tzu never needs to explain to his son.
Empress Song smiled sweetly and said: "General Yunhui Jia Heng is not an outsider, he is from Ningguo, as a junior of Wu Xun, he should have come to see your grandfather."
Although Empress Song explained in this way, there were still some old or scrutinizing eyes in the palace looking at Jia Heng, waiting for his words.
Jia Heng said in a loud voice: "On New Year's Eve, the heavenly family enjoys the joy with the people. The courtiers and their fathers enter the Chonghua Palace to congratulate the emperor for a thousand years. Mu Deqinghua looks up to the emperor's kindness. The king of Qi County thinks it is impossible?"
This king of Qi just owed money, so he came here to find trouble.
The fat on King Qi's big face twitched, and a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he said, "Jia Yunhui is still so eloquent and eloquent. Word."
Princess Jinyang watched this scene from a distance, staring at the beautiful willow leaf eyebrows, staring at the plump, pig-headed King Qi, a sharp light flashed in her crystal clear eyes.
This Chen Cheng is not big or small!
Emperor Longzhi looked at the exchange of words between the two, smiled, and said to Yongchang's son-in-law beside him: "This empress of Ningguo seems to have a sharp tongue."
It has been seen that his grandson and this descendant of Ning Guogong seem to be at odds.
The vindictiveness of the children's generation, looking at it now, is only somewhat interesting.
Yongchang's son-in-law explained: "Your Majesty, just now there was a dispute over the military parade in the previous dynasty. Jia Yun issued the "Peace of the Captives" and impeached Yang Guochang, the chief minister of the cabinet. That's why the King of Qi said that."
When Emperor Longzhi heard the words, his complexion changed suddenly, a look of surprise flashed in his eyes, and he said, "Ping Luce?"
There's no way, the word 骁 is too evocative for the Supreme Emperor's memory.
Can't bear to look back...
Yongchang's son-in-law said: "Jia Yun has ten strategies to suppress the captives. He made suggestions for the emperor, but some of his subjects objected."
Emperor Longzhi frowned, and said: "He is a young man, even though he is a general, talented and talented, but how many battles he has gone through, how many strategies can he have? Don't be Zhao Kuo and Ma Su who talk about war on paper?"
At this moment, Emperor Longzhi thought of a person. At that time, Tan Jin, the Shangshu of the Ministry of War who urged him to personally conquer Donglu, misled him with big words, causing the six armies to disappear and Donglu to become powerful.
And his name before and after...
Thinking of this, the smile on Emperor Longzhi's face gradually froze, and when he looked at the young man again, he felt a bit of scrutiny and coldness, don't be another sweet-talking, flattering minister of luck.
Then he said to Yongchang's son-in-law: "Let the descendants of Ningguo, Jia Heng, come and answer."
Hearing the words, Yongchang's son-in-law paused, and responded, "General Yunhui, the emperor called you to come forward and answer."
When Jia Heng heard the words, his heart was shocked, and he hurriedly looked at Emperor Chongping who was beside him, and seeing his calm face, he nodded to himself.
Jia Heng realized something in his heart, this was the emperor's intention.
The idea of the emperor, perhaps, is that I am cleaning up your mess and have formulated a national policy strategy.
Jia Heng got up from his seat, and approached as close as possible, facing Emperor Longzhi, bowed and said: "Your Excellency, first-class general Yunhui, pay homage to the Emperor, long live long live long live."
"Pingshen." Emperor Longzhi looked at the young man opposite, and said slowly.
Jia Heng got up and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty."
Emperor Longzhi's voice was a little cold: "I heard that you have given Pingluce to the emperor?"
Jia Heng raised his eyes to look at the Supreme Emperor, with a calm expression on his face, and a clear voice sounded: "Heng is a national military honor, and he has been greatly favored by the country. Now the Hulu in northern Xinjiang are raging, and the country is in danger. I have a plan to plan a strategy, and I will take the responsibility of the king." .”
Emperor Longzhi was silent for a moment when he heard the young man's loud and loud words, and said with a sneer: "You are young, you have never experienced the complexity of military affairs, and you don't know the essentials of military affairs. It is necessary to investigate, how dare you make false statements to suppress the captives?"
Jia Heng said: "Why didn't the emperor see my best strategy, but preconceived it first, and made rash conclusions because of his young age?"
"Presumptuous!" King Qi walked over with his fat body shaking, and reprimanded him: "Jia Heng, how can you be so rude in front of the emperor's grandfather?"
Jia Heng glanced at the King of Qi, his face remained unchanged, and said in a deep voice: "The question of the monarch and ministers is correct. Regarding important military and political matters, the King of Qi County is the suzerain of the country. He has not been asked for inquiries, but he harassed each other with words. I don't know why?"
King Qi looked angry, turned his head to look at Emperor Longzhi, opened his mouth to speak, but heard a faint old voice: "King Qi retreats first."
King Qi's expression froze, he gave Jia Heng a cold look, and stepped aside.
Emperor Longzhi waved his hand, motioning King Qi to step aside, looked at the young man, and said, "It's true that you are eloquent and eloquent."
Without waiting for Jia Heng to speak again, he asked, "Do you have Ping Lu's policy, and let me have a look?"
He didn't think that this little boy could write any clever strategies. He had practiced the country less and lived in the imperial court for more than [-] years. He had seen many resourceful people and clever theories.
Emperor Chongping's face was cold and hard, and he said in a deep voice: "Your minister must bring a copy."
As he spoke, he took out a memorial from his sleeve and handed it to Dai Quan who was at the side.
He brought Jia Heng to the Chonghua Palace, or in other words, brought "The Policy of Pinglu", not to show off to the emperor. If there is no news of victory in the war against the captives, what is there to show off?
Instead, it shows that he has a well-thought-out plan for the national policy, and he has considered it comprehensively.
Dai Quan took Ce Shu and handed it over in small steps.
The son-in-law of Yongchang got up and took the memorial, turned his head and presented it: "My lord."
Emperor Longzhi nodded, stretched out his hand to take the memorabilia, and started to read it under the gaze of the eyes in the hall. As time went by, his face gradually became dignified.
After all, he was a former emperor, and he had worked hard in the first half of his life. As he read and read, he gradually changed from being indifferent at the beginning to solemn, and his body, which was originally sitting crookedly, sat upright.
Below, Emperor Chongping saw this, his eyes moved slightly, and his heart was settled.
And Empress Song was also a master at observing words and expressions. Seeing this scene, her beautiful eyes gleamed under her beautiful eyebrows, her heart moved, she couldn't help but look at the tall and straight boy who was like a sharp sword out of its sheath.
After reading the memorial, Emperor Longzhi remained motionless and speechless for a long time.
"Your Majesty." Yongchang's son-in-law called softly.
Emperor Longzhi woke up and turned around with a calm face. He looked up at the young man, he had many questions to ask in his mind for a while, opened his mouth, and suddenly realized his identity, and at this moment, it seemed inappropriate.
The King of Qi said anxiously: "Grandfather, Yang Shoufu once said that Jia Yunhui's remarks were the words of a traitor who rebelled against the country..."
"Young people are awesome." All the questions in Emperor Longzhi's mind finally turned into a comment.
King Qi said: "???"
No, this young man is terrifying, who is he talking about?
As for the clan members in the palace who were paying attention to this matter, their faces all changed when they heard the words, and they looked at the young man in surprise.
Secretly, is Ce Shu written quite in line with the emperor's heart?
At this time, Emperor Longzhi handed the memorial to the son-in-law of Yongchang, and said: "You have also used troops in the northwest, let's take a look."
The son-in-law of Yongchang used to be an army supervisor, and he had served as an army supervisor in the Northwest, so he still knew a little about military affairs.
Emperor Longzhi frowned, looked at the young man in amazement, and said: "Although the strategy book hits the current disadvantages and directly targets the vital points, it is easy to know but difficult to do. There are many difficulties that cannot be covered by this strategy book."
After all, he is the emperor of Yuji Tianxia for more than [-] years, even though he approves of Ceshu in his heart, he still keeps calm, so he won't be overwhelmed.
However, this is precisely the case. Compared with the attitude before and after interrogating Jia Heng before, the surrounding clans also saw some tricks.
There is something in "Ping Lu Ce"!
The King of Chu frowned, looking at the tall and straight young man, his eyes were full of surprise.
King Qi's face was ashen, and he did not hide his resentment.
On the side, the princess Xiangshi had a look of worry on her gentle and peaceful face.
This Jia Yunhui has quite a lot of trust from his father, it is really unwise for the prince to conflict with him.
Jia Heng said in a deep voice: "As the sage supports, the officials try their best to serve the school to death, neither arrogant nor impetuous, even if there are thousands of difficulties, nothing is impossible."
Emperor Longzhi looked at the firm look on the young man's face, and was speechless for a while.
It is true that Ceshu is not a boastful and unrealistic statement. On the contrary, it is quite operable, and even sophisticated. He once thought it was the ghostwriter of the governor in economics and strategy, but the grammar is sharp and high-spirited. It is like the words that a person who is dying and dying can write.
Seeing this, the eldest princess of Jinyang, her jade face turned pale, and she looked at the young man who was right with her father with shining eyes, her heart became more and more happy, and she even had an impulse, she really wanted the whole world, this is her Jinyang Chosen man!
Emperor Longzhi pondered for a while, and said: "No matter how exquisitely written the memorial is, it must be implemented in real terms. Now that the frontiers are being looted like fire, since you are a martial artist for the country, you just need to do things with your heart."
After all, he is an emperor who has controlled the world for decades, and he still has a strategic vision, and he will not say against his will that the memorials are all nonsense, and children's idiots.
Jia Heng bowed his hands and said yes.
Emperor Longzhi turned to look at Emperor Chongping with deep eyes, but he didn't say anything after all.
He already knew what the emperor meant, but the situation of the captives in the east could not be determined by a policy statement.
