Chapter 84 Recalling the Past
In Shoukang Palace, the Supreme Emperor met Jia Zhen in person.
Looking at the frightened young face, the Supreme Emperor sighed in his heart.
The Jia family is loyal.
So, just like his father, he chose the most powerful Jia Jing in the Jia family early as the prince.
Thinking that they will be able to get along well with each other in the future.
Maybe it’s because he’s getting older, maybe he feels a little regretful, but last night he dreamed again of the prince who used to wear bright clothes and angry horses.
How happy and proud he was when he saw the prince!
The fatigue of the day will always dissipate because of the prince. When you are sick, the first thing you see when you open your eyes is the prince. When you are recuperating, the prince will also accompany you with endless government affairs. In his palace, just like the emperor's son now, he simply dealt with it for him first. If he was in a dilemma or couldn't make up his mind, he would ask him later.
He never worried that the prince was no longer competent.
At that time, Jia Jing was always by the prince's side.
It is as if there are always two Jia beside him.
But they are no longer here.
The prince died, and he also neglected the two men. They also suffered from worries and illnesses in that year, so that their old injuries broke out and they died one after another.
How many people died that year!
The Supreme Emperor closed his eyes and said warmly: "Please sit down!"
"...Thank you, the Supreme Emperor!"
Jia Zhen was in a good mood when she realized that we really wanted to talk about family matters. Panic.
He didn’t know what to talk about.
There is nothing outstanding at home.
"You are now the head of the Jia family, can you handle the affairs of the family clearly?"
The Supreme Emperor actually knew that the Jia family was raising this child.
He once told the prince that the Ningguo Mansion had been close to them for three consecutive generations, and that when the fourth generation came, they should be careful.
As a result, the prince said that among the four princes and eight kilometers away, the Jia family knows how to advance and retreat best, and will never do anything to embarrass the royal family.
Sure enough, this child, like the eldest son of Dai Confucianism, is incapable of success in culture and military affairs.
"Barely... barely okay."
Jia Zhen was so frightened that sweat broke out on her forehead.
He was incompetent as a clan leader, "If you don't understand, I will ask my mother."
As soon as she finished speaking, Jia Zhen knelt down again, "I thank the Emperor for rewarding me. Mother is decent!" At this point, he was really grateful to the Supreme Emperor, so when he kowtowed, he kowtowed a lot more sincerely, "I only hope that the Supreme Emperor can live a long life..."
As soon as this hundredth birthday came out, Jia Zhen was so frightened that she broke into sweat again, "I just hope that the Emperor will live long live, long live, long live!"
"Sit down!"
The Supreme Emperor was tired of hearing the "long live" words. Emperors in ancient times had short lifespans, so he only hoped that he could live a long life. "I have known your grandfather and uncle since childhood. Let's get together. We drank together, rode horses together, and were in danger together."
They were older than him, and they had always protected him.
After the three brothers in front were either killed in battle or poisoned, he, his father's only child, was protected by two generations of the Jia family.
Ning Guo Gong and Rong Guo Gong were both at home and outside, and their son really protected him like an iron bucket.
The Supreme Emperor sighed with emotion, "Just listen to the words Long Live. A hundred years is good."
This child is an honest person.
"Back then, when your uncle was not even ten years old, he died of illness, but your grandfather cried a lot in front of me."
The pain of losing a son, that big brother only died. I’m not even relieved of my fear.
So, his prince is gone, but Jia Jing is still alive.
"Now that you have a sister, have you reported it to your grandfather?"
"Yes! My son announced the good news to the ancestors in the ancestral hall for me."
Jia Zhen's eye circles were a little red. .
Although I thought that the Supreme Emperor might talk to him about common things, I never expected that he would say this.
"That day, the minister was assassinated. He was on the line between life and death. My mother was also struggling in the delivery room. Thanks to the Queen Empress, she sent a medical girl to save the lives of my mother and sister." As she said that, Jia Zhen kowtowed again. "The whole family is extremely grateful!"
"...The Queen is indeed very good."
The Supreme Emperor did not expect that there would be many wives who followed his son's fingers. The best of all daughters-in-law.
If you can help him remember his old minister, I think the emperor has said a lot in front of her.
At this moment, the Emperor was unusually satisfied with the emperor's son and daughter-in-law who were accompanying him in the palace. "Speaking of assassination, has the assassin been found?" What he originally remembered, what happened later I forgot about it if I mentioned it later, so naturally I had to ask about it.
"...Not yet, I only know it is related to the remnants of the previous dynasty."
Those who should cry should still cry.
This is what his grandfather taught him when he was still alive.
The old man was afraid that he and his father would be in trouble, so he accidentally beat him to death.
Jia Zhen was pitiful, "Your Majesty, they wanted to destroy my family at that time!"
His son was still young.
"Chen Qian'er went to the Ministry of Justice to urge him. The adults there also told me that my nose is not a nose and my eyes are not eyes, and they said that they were doing their best to trace it. But Chen's friend in the Wucheng Bingma Division said , I'm afraid this case will be dropped. They didn't pay attention to it at the beginning, and now it's a matter of whether to investigate it or not."
Jia Zhen couldn't swallow this breath.
He almost died.
So, after seeing the good face of the Supreme Emperor, I couldn't help but file a complaint again.
“Is there such a thing?”
The Emperor's brows furrowed as expected, "Come here, go to the Punishment Department and ask that old official Fu what's going on."
"...Yes!"
The accompanying young eunuch After taking a look at Jia Zhen, she went away in a daze.
“Thank you, Your Majesty, for making the decision for me.”
As she spoke, Jia Zhen kowtowed again.
The Supreme Emperor waved his hand, "Your son's name is Brother Rong?"
"Yes!"
Speaking of his son, Jia Zhen had a smile on her face, "He is better than I have a promising future, and I have now read Mencius, saying that in the future I will win the title of Toad Palace, and I will come and kowtow to you a few more times, so that I can go back to the ancestral hall to report the good news to my ancestors."
The Supreme Emperor: "..."
He was stunned for a moment, thinking about the age of Jia Rong reported by the Dark Guardian, and smiled slowly, "Then I will wait for him to win the title of Toad Palace, kowtow to me, and announce the good news in front of his ancestors."< br>
It seems that he still has a lot of life left.
The Emperor was quite satisfied. He felt that although Jia Zhen was incompetent, he had a sweet mouth. "By the way, since he is more promising than you, as a father, you can't just beat him at will, right?"
Ning Guogong beat his son like a thief.
The Supreme Emperor saw with his own eyes how badly Ning Guogong beat Jia Daihua. It was really a small beating every three days and a big beating every five days. The beatings made him terrified.
Later, Jia Daihua also beat Jia Jing in the same way, and once even scared the prince.
The prince ran to him and said, 'Father, you are so kind. ’
It was so good back then!
"...Chen..." Jia Zhen hesitated, "He is protected by his grandmother, and I have never been able to hit him."
He has not been able to hit him for a long time. It’s better than my son.
Jia Zhen is a little regretful.
The brat received so many fewer beatings than him!
"Hahaha~"
The Supreme Emperor understood the expression on his face and couldn't help laughing, "I still remember that when you were a child, you fell off a tree while climbing into the palace. Your grandfather He thought you couldn't climb a tree, so he finally pushed you up the tree again with a whip. "
This child was pitiful. He was not only beaten by his grandfather, but also often beaten by Jia Jing.
“It was your grandmother who came over and rescued you home with tears in her eyes.”
“Your Majesty, I was only six years old at that time.”
mentioning that time , Jia Zhen couldn't help but laugh. Unfortunately, grandma left too early.
Otherwise, he would not only be protected by his mother, but also by his grandmother.
However, since his grandmother passed away, his grandfather didn’t beat him that much.
If he could go back in time, he really hoped that his grandfather could still beat him, and that his grandmother could still jump out to protect him every time.
Dai Quan, who rushed back from Princess Zhen's palace, heard the Supreme Emperor laughing heartily from a distance. After frowning slightly, he quickly quickened his pace.
At this time, the emperor rarely worried about the queen.
The salt fields that Shen asked Lin Ruhai to experiment with were very effective. The secret guards from Jiangnan had already sent a message back, and they felt sorry for not being kind to her.
But the emperor obviously wanted to hold on, and he, the emperor, couldn’t give it even if he wanted to.
I can only give you a promise that looks very heavy.
Although I feel that Shen is a smart person, even if he makes a request, it will not be too outrageous, but the emperor has nothing to offer, and it is inevitable that he will feel guilty.
"Your Majesty!"
Eunuch Liu came over beaming with joy, "The mistress just came to report that Mrs. Shen asked the Queen to let her daughter, Shi Jia Yuanchun, go home."
oh?
The emperor patted the table, very happy.
“I don’t know what they said, but the queen now wants to protect Marquis Xinping as a matchmaker.”
Marquis Xinping?
The emperor thought for a moment and nodded slowly, "It is indeed a good match!"
My father was also worried about this matter.
He stood up suddenly, "Let's go to Shoukang Palace."
It would be best to let the father decree the marriage.
Otherwise, it would be bad if Concubine Zhen ruined the long nights and many dreams.
The emperor has suffered too many losses at the hands of Concubine Zhen. He has made up his mind now. As long as he is 30% sure about the decision, he will do it immediately. There must be no delay.
In Kunning Palace, Shen Ningcai asked the queen about the body of Cheng Luo, Marquis of Xinping.
After making sure that he had all his hands and feet, he was slightly frail due to family changes and had no concubines around him. He was even less likely to go to the battlefield in the future, so he agreed on the spot.
I am afraid that if I respond too slowly, Yuanchun will be ruined by Jia Mu and Wang when she returns home.
One of them is a grandmother and the other is a biological mother. They have more say in Yuanchun's marriage than she does.
If the Wang family is confused and wants to win over someone for the Wang family, and promises Yuanchun to an army lieutenant general, it will be over.
"My wife seems to be quite satisfied with this son-in-law."
The matchmaker Bao was able to satisfy the woman, the queen was also very happy, "I will talk to the emperor later and see if I can You can’t give a decree to get married.”
“That’s better.”
Shen Ning thanked her, “It’s all trouble for the queen.”
“Haha, what trouble is that. , their marriage is completed, and our two families can be regarded as in-laws.”
The emperor was very sad about Princess Baofeng.
That was the sister who used to take care of him.
Because of the emperor, the queen was of course more concerned about Cheng Luo's affairs, "In the Cheng family now, Cheng Luo only has one concubine brother."
The other one is with Cheng Luo. The older ones were also taken away by Princess Baofeng.
In fact, the queen must say that Princess Baofeng is still too kind. Since she did it, she should take away the old woman from the Cheng family and her favorite concubine.
The dignified princess only took two lives away.
It made Cheng Luo respect the old woman because of his filial piety.
“There are not many people in the Cheng family.” The queen said: “When the incident happened, the emperor was very angry. His original intention was to divide their families, but unfortunately something happened in the end and they were not divided.”< br>
The old lady went the way of Princess Nan'an, and the princess found Princess Zhen. They also gave a bad look to the Supreme Emperor, and the word 'filial piety' suppressed all of them.
"When Cheng Luo gets married..."
"For the safety of my daughter, I will watch and try to keep them separated."
Shen Ning smiled broadly.
You can create an opportunity even if you don’t have a chance.
Although she has no experience in house fighting, she has watched many palace fighting dramas.
Yuan Chun has been able to survive in the palace so far. Maybe with a little mention, she will know what to do.
“Madam, drink tea!”
The Queen likes people like Mrs. Shen who are smart and have a bottom line.
I even asked Cheng Luo if he had any other hidden illnesses just now.
Obviously, if something goes wrong, she might betray him.
The queen admired her very much.
It is really rare to give up such a heavy commitment for a niece who lives in the next room.
"This is the new Mingqian tea released this year. If you feel good, go back and bring a few cans."
"It would be better to obey orders than to be respectful."
Shen Ning and the Queen looked at each other. A smile.
The two of them didn’t know yet, because they had been talking to each other for too long, and a little palace maid had already reported the news.
Concubine Zhen had already read the letter that Wang spent a large sum of money to send to the palace.
She originally didn't care much whether Yuanchun could get closer to the emperor.
After all, she is far beyond comparison.
The emperor’s favorite thing is the empress. Yuanchun wants to learn from her and become a beloved concubine... but it is impossible.
The Jia family is declining, and the children are unworthy, let alone the Zhen family.
However, no matter how declining the Jia family is, there are still some connections in the army.
Concubine Zhen has been waiting, wanting to see all the trump cards of Yuanchun and the Jia family.
Only when you see it clearly can you grasp it.
Although the Emperor's health is still good, the Emperor has gradually regained his footing in the court, and it will be very difficult to pull him down again.
Concubine Zhen has an immature idea, but this idea requires Yuan Chun’s cooperation.
She could only wait until she hit a wall everywhere in the palace.
"Your Majesty, the Emperor has come to see the Supreme Emperor again."
The palace servants came in and reported in a low voice.
“Do you know anything?”
“I don’t know, but the Emperor seems to be happy about something.”
“…Then go and inquire. .”
What did Concubine Zhen think of, "By the way, has Jia Zhen left?"
"Not yet."
The palace man shook his head, "I heard that the Emperor has laughed several times because of him. Field.”
What?
Concubine Zhen suddenly stood up, "Why didn't you report it earlier?"
As a pillow person, she knew that the Emperor liked to reminisce about the past more and more as he got older.
The mutual protection of the two generations of the Jia family has always been remembered in the heart of the Supreme Emperor.
If it hadn't happened with the prince, her son would have looked at Jia Jing's face.
“Let’s go and have a look.”
Speaking of which, the Zhen family and the Jia family are also relatives.
One of her sisters-in-law is from the Shi family.
Although he died young, he can still climb if he really wants to.
When Concubine Zhen hurried away with her people, she didn’t know that the emperor was already discussing Cheng Luo and Yuan Chun’s marriage with the Supreme Emperor with a smile on his face.
