It was also the first time that Jia Rong saw her grandmother look so unhappy.
Thinking about it, she was given face by her only biological son, and it was related to the mistress of the Ning Mansion and the wife of the Jia family in the capital. Jia Zhen, her biological son, did not give her any face, and even refused to let her
No intervention at all.
If it were someone else, even if he doted on his own son, his mood would not be much better.
Not to mention, she also knows the tricks inside.
"This traitor is so bold, and he hasn't given up on his dream yet!"
In the empty Ning'an Hall, Mrs. Zhao couldn't help but groan angrily.
"Old lady, calm down!"
Jia Rong said in a calm tone: "When my father experienced the glory of Ning Mansion, he can't stand the decline of Ning Mansion now. It's understandable that he wants to go through some trouble!"
"Do you know the reason?"
Mrs. Zhao was a little surprised, shook her head and said: "Impossible, no one will tell you this!"
"You can guess it!"
Jia Rong replied calmly: "During the reign of Emperor Xuanzu, the position of the Jiedu Envoy in Beijing was almost controlled by our Ningrong Second Mansion!"
"Grandpa Xuan is in charge, and his successor will be Uncle Xuan, Daishan from the neighboring government!"
"It can be said that based on this, Ningrong's second house is the top dignitary in the capital, a presence that no one dares to underestimate today!"
"However, since the two great grandfathers passed away, the children of the two houses have been isolated from the Beijing camp. This is definitely not normal!"
"The Rong Mansion used military resources to promote Wang Ziteng, so that the king surnamed Wang was promoted step by step in the capital camp, and now he is qualified to compete for the title of Jiedu Envoy!"
"I don't know what happened during this period, but I understand my father's mood when he wanted to restore the prosperity of Ning Mansion!"
"Everyone wants to restore the past glory of the mansion, but that traitor used the wrong place!"
Mrs. Zhao was dissatisfied: "You are actually getting mixed up with the deposed prince and the remnants of Prince Yi Zhong. How can it be good?"
"What does the old lady mean, that Qin Ye's adopted daughter Qin Keqing is related to the deposed prince?"
Jia Rong's expression remained calm, and she nodded: "No wonder, there is something wrong with my father's behavior, and it is inconsistent with normal behavior!"
"Then what do you think?"
Affected by Jia Rong's calm demeanor, Mrs. Zhao also calmed down and asked directly: "Aren't you worried at all?"
She did find that Jia Rong was quite rational, even too rational.
When something happens, it is basically difficult to see other expressions on his face.
He always has a calm face and speaks in a very rational tone.
In her impression, it seemed that Jia Rong was not like this in the past, and she didn't know when it changed.
It can only be said that Jia Rong's performance is definitely a blessing to Ning Mansion.
When the Ning Mansion is in decline, when the family members are rational, they will naturally be able to deal with more emergencies and have the energy to slow down the continued decline of the Ning Mansion.
"No idea!"
Jia Rong smiled lightly and said: "Old lady, you should also know the situation in the house!"
"The family background is indeed good, at least it is much better than those noble families that have completely fallen into ruin!"
"As long as you don't squander it carelessly, it will be enough for two or three generations!"
"That's all?"
Mrs. Zhao was angry and funny, and continued to ask: "Since your father can catch up with the remaining troops of the deposed prince, obviously the Ning Mansion has something they value!"
"It's nothing more than connections in the military and the influence of the founding heroes who share the same spirit!"
Jia Rong said with a smile: "It has been many years since the government participated in military affairs. It is hard to say whether the generals in the Beijing camp will give him face!"
It's normal in official circles for people to take advantage of the situation.
Not to mention, over the years, how many generals in the Beijing camp have changed, and how many old people are still there?
"It can be said that the government basically has no say in the military!"
Jia Rong looked calm and told a cruel fact: "As for the founding nobles, our Ning Mansion has also been marginalized!"
"It can only be said that the remaining strength of the deposed prince has been urgently sought medical treatment. Our Ning Mansion's help to them is almost lackluster except in terms of money!"
"The key thing is that no one in the government has a foothold in the officialdom. Even if they have any influence, it will be difficult to affect actual affairs!"
"Qin Keqing is just a woman. If I don't take the initiative to cooperate, even if she completely integrates the authority of the Ning Mansion's inner court, she won't be able to play a big role!"
At this point, he stopped going on.
Mrs. Zhao was obviously shocked, and she murmured to herself with a dejected expression: "I didn't expect that the Ning Mansion has declined to such an extent?"
Obviously, Mrs. Zhao also couldn't accept it.
Although he knew that Ning Mansion had declined, he did not think deeply that it had declined to such an extent.
Thinking about Jia Zhen's actions again, it feels indescribably ridiculous.
Nowadays, he seems to be restrained by the emperor, but he has been on the throne for nearly ten years, and the strength accumulated in the name of orthodoxy is no joke.
Even if the emperor gets older and misses the deposed prince more and more, Ai Wu and Wu Xia will show a lot of love to the deposed prince's descendant, Prince Yi Zhong, but so what?
The emperor is not that old and foolish. He is compassionate, but the power he holds in his hands shows no sign of letting it out.
Anyone who knows something about history books and palace struggles knows that if the emperor had not firmly controlled most of the military power, he would have died of illness quietly long ago.
Under such circumstances, Prince Yizhong's wish to make a comeback is simply wishful thinking.
"Then you don't have any objections to marrying Qin Keqing?"
Madam Zhao quickly regained her composure and said in a deep voice: "You have to think about it!"
"If possible, I would rather give it to Brother Qiang!"
Jia Rong said calmly: "I guess my father won't agree!"
Sure enough, he took the initiative to go to Zhuangzi outside the city to test it out, but was scolded by Jia Zhen, who became more and more angry.
I guess if it wasn't for his mobility issues, this guy would be an expert at it.
Seeing the pale sky above this man's head, and the pure white destiny, Jia Rong had no intention of doing anything.
Originally, this kind of luck would have allowed him to survive. If he forced himself to participate in the battle for the throne, he would probably end up with a bad end.
But he could clearly see that there were already many gaps in the empty destiny above my head.
After coming out of Zhuangzi where Jia Zhen lived, he went to Xuanzhen Temple again, intending to explain Jia Zhen's decisions and thoughts to his grandfather and immortal cultivator Jia Jing, but in the end he was not even allowed to enter.
Rong naturally understood what it meant.
Obviously, there are many people who feel unhappy.
It’s just that they don’t think about it. The Ning Mansion has been marginalized for many years. Now that they join in, they are just a chess piece waving flags...
