Chapter 1628 Jia Heng: Well, fake becomes real?
Shenjing City, Princess Jinyang's Mansion——
Back house hall
At this moment, Jia Heng was holding Yun'er and Zhe'er in his arms, with a big smile on his face. He said, "Yun'er, Zhe'er and his two children really look alike."
Princess Jinyang looked at the young man in the python robe with a smile on her plump and lovely face, and said jokingly, "Aren't these two children alike? They are all the same child."
Jia Heng's expression paused for a moment, and he was speechless.
Princess Xianning, Li Chanyue and Song Yan sat down beside her. After hearing this, Princess Xianning's beautiful face was filled with shame and anger. She immediately said, "Aunt, you are not wrong."
At this moment, a graceful and beautiful female official walked into the hall quickly, looked at Jia Heng intently, and said, "Princess, the eunuch has come to the palace and said that the palace has important matters and wants to summon the prince."
Jia Heng was stunned for a moment, and immediately handed the two cute babies in his arms to Li Chanyue and Song Yan, saying, "I'll go take a look."
Princess Jinyang had beautiful eyebrows and charming eyes. She said, "You go ahead. I'll take care of him here."
Jia Heng stood up, left the Princess Jinyang's mansion, and then, escorted by the Jinyi Guards, strode into the palace.
What did Zhen Qing call him over for? I'm afraid it's not a good thing.
Palace Garden, Wuying Hall
All the ministers of the cabinet stood in the hall, while the Empress Dowager Zhen Qing of the Han Dynasty sat behind a bamboo curtain, her hair in a beautiful bun, and beautiful. On the dragon throne beside her sat the new emperor of the Han Dynasty, Chen Jie, who was wearing a light yellow satin dragon robe, his face tense, and his bright eyes looking into the distance with surprise.
At this moment, the atmosphere in the hall was somewhat depressing.
At this moment, several cabinet ministers' minds were inexplicably moved as their eyes exchanged.
At this moment, a young eunuch entered the palace and said in a high-pitched voice, "Empress Dowager, His Royal Highness Prince Wei is outside asking for an audience."
Zhen Qing's rosy and slightly pink face was as plump as clouds, her red lips slightly parted, her jade teeth as white as pearls were crystal clear, and she said, "Xuan."
At this moment, the young man in a black and red satin python robe walked into the hall and said softly, "Your Highness, I greet you."
Zhen Qing's narrow, clear phoenix eyes seemed to be moistened with sparkling waves, and she said, "Prince Wei, please get up quickly."
Jia Heng didn't say anything else and just thanked Zhen Qing.
Zhen Qing stared at Jia Heng with her beautiful eyes and said, "Prince Wei, the censors are now impeaching you, saying that you are monopolizing power and are detrimental to the country and society."
Jia Heng was silent for a moment, then he bowed and said, "Your Majesty, I bear the heavy responsibility of the country, and I have great authority and responsibility. It is inevitable that some people will be jealous and slander me. Your Majesty should be used to this."
When Zhen Qing heard this, her heart paused, her eyes paused under her beautiful emerald eyebrows, and she didn't know how to continue for a moment.
Jia Heng said, "My fellow cabinet members, this kind of memorial should be familiar to you. Why are you making such a fuss?"
Li Zan said, "Prince Wei, the power of the Capital Camp, the Imperial Guards, and the Five Cities Military Command is all in the hands of one person. If this continues, once it becomes a custom, it will be a disaster rather than a blessing for the country."
Jia Heng was silent for a moment, then said, "Lord Li, in extraordinary times, extraordinary measures should be taken."
Seeing that Li Zan was about to speak, Jia Heng said, "Lord Li, before, when Emperor Shizong Xian was alive, he treated me as the co-director of the three yamen and had no doubts about it. When Emperor Guangzong ascended the throne, if I hadn't supported him, who knows how much trouble would have been caused in the capital. Now that things are a little more peaceful, the censors are judging me by my own standards and trying to infer that I am disloyal. This is nothing more than destroying the bridge after crossing it and abandoning the donkey after it has done its work!"
Well, although it may sound a bit self-boasting, it is indeed the truth.
Seeing Jia Heng's stern tone, Zhen Qing pursed her pink lips and said, "Prince Wei, don't get too excited. This is not for the safety of the Han Dynasty."
Well, it seems this bastard didn't expect this.
Li Zan was silent for a moment, then said, "Prince Wei has always been upright and aboveboard. Why not resolve the suspicions of the civil and military officials in the court? And take the military power of the Beijing camp?"
Jia Heng sneered and said, "Why should I accommodate and release the suspicion of the civil and military officials in the court? If the civil and military officials in the court are still suspicious and afraid of me, should I die to apologize for my crime and prove my innocence to the world?"
When Li Zan heard this, he remained silent for a moment.
Zhen Qing's face was stern, and she said righteously: "Prince Wei, no one asked you to prove yourself like this. Even if others agree, I will not agree!"
Jia Heng stared at Zhen Qing, feeling a strange feeling in his heart.
Mopan's statement seemed to be true, and he was almost moved.
Li Zan's true intentions were exposed, and he whispered, "The affairs of the Beijing camp are now complicated, and we can add a deputy governor of the Beijing camp to share the military power of the Beijing camp."
Jia Heng raised his eyebrows, narrowed his eyes, and looked a little unfriendly. He asked, "What does Lord Li mean by this? Are you suspicious of me?"
Are they now openly suspicious of him? Even when Emperor Chongping was alive, he would not dare to be so open about his vigilance.
Although I had expected it, I still felt a little unhappy.
Li Zan said, "Prince Wei is not only responsible for state affairs, but also for military affairs. He is so busy that he cannot help but neglect one while focusing on the other. Now that a deputy inspector of the Beijing Camp has been appointed, it can also reduce some of the military burden for Prince Wei, which is also a good intention."
Jia Heng's face was grim. He said, "Lord Li, the Beijing Army guards the three prefectures, which is related to the peace of the country and society. Now there are still villains spying outside. Lord Li handed over the military power of the Beijing Army to others. If there is a mistake again, which endangers the country, who will be responsible?"
Zhen Qing took over the conversation and said, "Prince Wei, what Elder Li said is not without reason. There are many affairs in the court now, and Prince Wei cannot be separated for a moment. Prince Wei may as well put the affairs of the Beijing camp aside for the time being and come to the cabinet more often to take charge and assist in government affairs."
Jia Heng's face was as dark as water, his eyes fixed on Zhen Qing, and he asked, "Does the Empress Dowager also think that it is necessary to add a deputy governor to the Beijing Camp?"
As he spoke, he raised his eyes to look at Zhen Qing, his eyes flickering with a hint of burning intent.
He remembered that this item was not included in the previous agreement, right?
Well, fake it becomes real?
It's really a good millstone. It really knows how to use the opponent's force to its advantage.
Zhen Qing quickly avoided the pair of "questioning" eyes and did not answer directly. Instead, she turned to look at Li Zan beside her and said, "Lord Li, who do you think should take over the position of Deputy Envoy of the Beijing Camp?"
Li Zan's face became solemn, and he cupped his hands and said, "The Marquis of Shanhai, Cao Bianjiao, is a man of both wisdom and courage, loyal, diligent and frugal, and can be entrusted with important matters. Your Majesty, you can use him as the deputy envoy of the governor."
Jia Heng raised his eyes to look at Zhen Qing and Li Zan who were singing in unison, his expression indifferent, like frost.
This has been decided without even asking for his opinion?
Previously, he only said to let Mopan be the governor of the Beijing Camp, deliberately to make him fall out, but he did not say to appoint a deputy governor of the Beijing Camp.
Zhen Qing's flawless face was as white as snow, and she opened her lips slightly and said, "Then let Cao Bianjiao serve as the deputy governor of the Beijing Camp and take charge of the training affairs."
The beautiful lady at this moment was somewhat frightened in her heart, and she didn't even dare to look at the young man in the python robe.
Jia Heng said, "Empress Dowager, the current Beijing camp does not need two deputy governors to jointly command the troops of the Beijing camp. Please think twice."
Listening to the resistance in the words of the young man in the python robe, Zhen Qing raised her emerald eyebrows, her eyes were soft and sparkling, and she said: "Prince Wei, now that China and foreign countries are suspicious, Prince Wei is loyal to the country and should consider the overall situation and reassure the people of the court and the people. This is also the long-term way."
Jia Heng's face became serious, and he said, "Your Majesty, the Beijing Camp has all the military officers and personnel, and there is really no shortage of deputy envoys of the Beijing Camp."
Since he wanted to act, he had to show that tough attitude.
Zhen Qing's beautiful face changed slightly, she calmed down and said, "Prince Wei, the Beijing Camp still needs a deputy to assist in military affairs, so let's do it this way."
Although the beauty's tone was as gentle as water, the firmness in her words was already evident.
Jia Heng had no expression on his face. He just bowed slightly to Zhen Qing and said, "Then I will obey your order."
Forcing the ox to drink water, the millstone must have really become very powerful.
Jia Heng paused for a moment, then he bowed to Zhen Qing and said, "If there is nothing else, I will take my leave."
If one thinks that Cao Bianjiao's control of the Beijing camp will allow him to be restrained from now on, it would be naive.
Zhen Qing pursed her lips and swallowed back her words about replacing the palace guards.
If I bring up the idea of replacing the palace guards again at this time, will this bastard turn hostile?
At this moment, Li Zan looked at Zhen Qing, whose face was filled with joy, and his heart moved slightly.
After this incident, a rift had already begun between Empress Zhen and Prince Wei, and he also took the opportunity to gain control of the military power of the Beijing camp, thus killing two birds with one stone.
Li Zan thought for a moment and said, "Your Majesty, the officers of the Imperial Palace Guards are related to the safety of the royal family in the palace. I think we should also select new officers for rotation."
Jia Heng: "..."
Li Zan's attack was indeed steady, ruthless and accurate. He just gave a signal that he and Zhen Qing were not on good terms, and Li Zan automatically found the vital point.
The officers and soldiers of the Beijing Camp and the Palace Guards were indeed the breaking point in his alliance with Zhen Qing.
Mopan has always wanted to take back these two powers, otherwise he would not feel safe.
However, if one wanted to lure Li Zan, Xu Lu and other "loyal and righteous men" to come and defend the emperor, negligence on the part of the Beijing camp and the palace guards was inevitable.
In other words, if they are not given a chance, they will never get off the field.
Jia Heng's eyes were dim under his thick eyebrows. He looked at Zhen Qing deeply, then bowed again and took his leave.
This scene fell into the eyes of Li Zan, a bystander, who secretly said, "It's done."
There was already a rift between Empress Zhen and Prince Wei.
After a while, Zhen Qing did not linger any longer and, accompanied by her nanny and the female officials, she leisurely left the Wuying Palace.
She was afraid that the bastard already bore a grudge against her, and she would need to make amends after she returned.
……
……
In the study room of Ningguo Mansion in Shenjing City——
Jia Heng entered the study room in the mansion. Chen Xiao went to greet him. Seeing that Jia Heng looked thoughtful, he asked, "What did the palace say after you entered the palace just now?"
Jia Heng pondered for a moment and said, "The palace said earlier that Cao Bianjiao would be appointed as the Inspector General of the Beijing Camp and share the military power of the Beijing Camp."
Chen Xiao looked thoughtful and said in a low voice: "This is not unexpected."
Jia Heng nodded and said, "It's not unexpected, but Zhen Qing's attitude seems to be trying to take advantage of the situation."
Chen Xiaocuili raised her eyebrows, her eyes full of water, and said, "You should have expected Zhen Qing's reaction."
Hearing this, Jia Heng chuckled and said, "That's true."
It is not surprising that Zhen Qing did this.
Chen Xiaocuili's beautiful eyes sparkled like water under her embroidered eyebrows. She said, "Zhen Qing is not a woman who is content with what she has. Now that she has the opportunity, it is exactly what she wants."
Jia Heng pondered for a moment and said, "Now Li Zan is using Cao Bianjiao to check and balance me, which is nothing but wishful thinking."
At this moment, Gu Ruoqing came over with a teacup, handed it over, and said, "Try this, Pu'er tea from Yunnan."
Jia Heng thanked him and gently took the cup of fragrant tea handed to him by Gu Ruoqing. He took a sip and felt the fragrance filling his nose and made him feel relaxed and happy.
Chen Xiao said coldly: "However, this can also be regarded as a warning to you. In a few years, Zhen Qing will definitely be out of your control and will bite you back."
In the face of power, not to mention fake couples, even real couples would probably turn against each other and become enemies.
"I know what's going on. I've been waiting for several years." Jia Heng raised his eyebrows, a hint of darkness flashed across his eyes, and he whispered, "I'll meet Cao Bianjiao in the next two days and discuss it with him."
If you want to put on a show, you need to lure out Li Zan and Xu Lu, and the key lies in Cao Bianjiao.
As long as Cao Bianjiao is convinced, all the opposition forces in the court can be wiped out.
Chen Xiao asked, "He is involved with Li Zan, Xu Lu and others. Is he still willing to cooperate with you?"
Jia Heng thought about it and said, "That's not necessarily the case."
He was still somewhat certain that Cao Bianjiao might not necessarily be loyal to the Chen Han royal family, and besides, hadn't he... usurped the throne yet?
Such groundless speculations by civil officials do not constitute any doubt about his loyalty.
Moreover, judging from his relationship with Cao Bianjiao, he is not a blindly loyal person.
On the other side, after Zhen Qing returned to Kunning Palace, she was still thinking about what happened before, but Jia Heng's deep gaze lingered in the beauty's heart for a long time.
"That bastard must be holding a grudge against me, what a bastard." Zhen Qing frowned slightly, her beautiful eyes were as bright as water, and she was still frightened.
No, he must be summoned to the palace and comforted.
Thinking of this, the beauty called over a female official, opened her pink lips slightly, and said softly: "Come here, go and announce that the King of Wei will enter the palace."
The female official didn't say anything else. She just responded lightly and turned to leave.
Zhen Qing held her daughter Yin Yin in her arms. There was a hint of pride in her watery eyes under her emerald eyebrows.
Well, when that bastard comes later and sees his twins, I think his anger will be reduced by 70% to 80%.
About half a quarter of an hour later, a white-faced, beardless eunuch entered the hall, bowed to Zhen Qing, and whispered, "Empress Dowager, Prince Wei is here."
After a while, the young man in the python robe walked quickly into the hall. He came closer, bowed to Zhen Qing, and said, "Your humble servant greets the Empress Dowager. May the Empress Dowager live a thousand years."
Under Zhen Qing's emerald eyebrows, her charming eyes were as bright as water. She opened her pink lips slightly and said, "Prince Wei, please stand up."
Jia Heng thanked him and asked, "Why did the Queen Mother call me here?"
A slap in the face and then a sweet date?
Mopan is pretending to be ignorant even though he knows the truth, but he will just let her be happy for the time being.
Zhen Qing's flawless white face showed a hint of unnaturalness, her fiery red lips slightly parted, and she said, "Prince Wei, please come forward and give me your answer."
"Godfather~" At this moment, Yin Yin, who was beside Zhen Qing, called out in a soft voice, her eyes like black grapes very smart.
Jia Heng came closer, hugged Yinyin, and said with a smile: "Yinyin, do you miss your godfather?"
Zhen Qing frowned, her jade-like face paused, and said, "It was Li Zan who suggested it before. I just went along with it to help you gain Li Zan's trust."
Jia Heng: "..."
It is indeed a case of pushing the boat with the current, but whose boat are you pushing?
Zhen Qing explained: "Otherwise, based on a few words between you and me, how can others believe that you and I have turned against each other?"
Jia Heng shook his head and said, "Your Majesty is right. This way, we can wait and see how Li Zan will act. Your Majesty will not worry about Li Zan, Cao Bianjiao and others really accomplishing great things."
Aren’t you really afraid that Li Zan will turn the fake into reality and drive Zhen Qing’s son off the stage?
Zhen Qing smiled softly and whispered, "You are by my side, so you don't have to worry."
Jia Heng sneered and said, "You seem to be fearless."
Zhen Qing said, "Li Zan had previously proposed that the palace guards be replaced with my close associates. Didn't I disagree?"
Jia Heng raised his eyebrows, looked at Zhen Qing deeply, and asked, "Where's Jie'er?"
"Jie'er has consumed a lot of energy just now, and has rested now." Zhen Qing spoke softly with her beautiful eyes shining like water under her emerald eyebrows.
Jia Heng said half-truthfully, "Li Zan will most likely use Cao Bianjiao as the main force and cooperate with Duan Ronggui in the palace. If you really replace the palace guards with your so-called confidants, I'm afraid you will really give them an opportunity."
When Zhen Qing heard this, her expression suddenly changed and she was shocked.
Jia Heng said coldly: "If you are greedy, you will be easily taken advantage of by others."
Zhen Qing was silent for a moment.
Jia Heng said expressionlessly, "Let Yinyin go down first. I have something to tell you."
This millstone cannot be used without a lesson.
